Ever wonder how the elites turn market chaos into millions overnight? In this straight-shooting Dropping Bombs episode, Joel Kraut—former Wall Street options trader turned real-estate operator—pulls back the curtain on going from Black Monday’s $10M day to pioneering a BRRR-style playbook that everyday investors can actually run. He strips away guru fluff and explains why most people never tap real-estate goldmines, how to build cash-flowing single-family portfolios, and why you must leverage the cycle instead of fearing it. This is Wall Street chaos turned Main Street wealth—delivered by someone who lived both.

Here’s the blueprint most gurus skip: automate $500/mo into an S&P 500 index (compounding toward ~$1.8M in 30 years), then accelerate with covered calls. If you’ve got $50K–$250K sitting idle, this convo shows exactly how to put it to work—and why mentorship collapses your timeline from a decade to 18 months. From personal rock bottoms to mentoring thousands, Joel’s message is simple: commitment over interest, mindset over money, and now is the time to buy—before the big players scoop it all.
