Summary

From growing up as a broke farm kid to coaching top-performing millionaires across the country, Brett Tanner’s story is one of resilience, reinvention, and building wealth the hard way. In this episode of The Disruptors Podcast, Brett reveals how he went from flipping books at 19, to running 100+ real estate closings per month, to nearly losing everything in the 2008 crash and how those failures ultimately transformed him into one of the most sought-after coaches for high-net-worth investors. His journey through debt, risk, and rebuilding will show you exactly what it takes to create lasting success, even when you start with nothing. You’ll learn how Brett ✅Built (and rebuilt) his business through short sales. ✅ How he scaled from 200+ listings without money, and the life-changing mindset shift that allowed him to move from hustler to leader. ✅ Brett breaks down why most entrepreneurs get stuck, how to use leverage and systems to escape “working harder” as a strategy. ✅ And why learning the difference between rich and wealthy changed everything for him.

Hey, I'll be here six months. I'm going to find something else I'm going to do. I don't think real estate's my thing. I'm 28 years old. My worst year economically and my son's born. The real estate I'd bought, all had problems. I bought a model home in there for $1.2 million, put 20% down there. They were leasing it for $10,000 a month. I'd never heard this. They just email me. And the agreement was, right, the real lease is like a year and then it goes month to month until they're done. And they'd never backed out of these. They came to me and go, no, we're just going to move the fence over one and cut out the third model. I was like, wait a minute, but that's mine. Like that would be a disaster. So I'd tried to move in there to make it work. And ultimately, I had some short sales. I had to work through some things.

0:38.9

It was impactful.

0:42.1

And the way I'd won in life previously was throwing an hour's in.

0:43.4

I just worked harder than everybody.

0:47.5

And now I realize if I apply that same skill, I'm never going to see my kid.

0:49.3

Welcome.

ready? I'm ready. Let's do it. All right.

2:03.0

I think, officially, going back to the records, you were the longest-awaited guest to be on the show. You did reach out quite a while ago. And I, at that time, I wasn't doing any other podcasts. I've actually done a handful. So I reached back out to you as soon as I was going to do some podcasts. Yeah. I want to do yours first out of, uh, for our relationship.

2:04.3

And you were one of the first to reach out.

2:04.5

So,

2:04.8

yeah.

2:03.9

So. a handful. So I reached back out to you as soon as I was going to do some podcasts. Yeah. I wanted to do yours first out of, uh, for our relationship. And you were one of the first to reach out. So yeah. I appreciate the opportunity. I'm excited to be here. Well, I'm excited to see what we're going to be talking about today because, uh, you have a different, uh, journey. And we've, I look back to all the people I've connected with in the Phoenix area, people that have been on the show.

2:18.7

I think I'm looking back, I've connected with in the Phoenix area, people that have been on the show.

2:18.7

I think I'm looking back, you're probably the one, the earliest everyone I've connected with as kind of as we've gone through this journey.

2:25.9

So, but before we get into that, let's talk about what was your life like before you got into real estate?

2:32.0

So I grew up in the middle of nowhere, Colorado, Dove Creek, Colorado, penobene capital of the world, and I like to brag. Pentobean. Pinto bean. That's what my parents do. They're farmers. Okay. Where I grew up, it was 17 people in my high school graduating class. You have to think about 100 people in the high school. And in that group, I wasn't competitive.

2:52.2

Like in the top, I wasn't in the top five of 17, which tells you the level of genius.

2:56.6

I brought to the table at that moment.

2:58.3

But it grew in the middle of nowhere.
