This is the Better Life podcast with Brandon Turner here alone. I don't have my buddy Cam Cathcart today, which is really sad. But I do have a question for all of you today. Did you hear about the company that makes the yardsticks? Yeah, they're not making them any longer. Get it? Takes a second. What's up, everyone? I'm so glad to have you here. Speaking of longer, this is one of our a little bit longer episode today with a couple of people that I absolutely adore. We have Matt and Annie Weir. You're going to hear a little bit more about how I know them and how Matt's been a big part of my life. We're going to hear the story about real estate, about the problems that they've solved, jumping into a larger property with their first deal, pretty cool. And you're going to love, make sure you listen to the idea about the HELOC. There's like this cool mathematical home equity line of credit strategy that can get you to pay off your mortgage instead of 30 years down in like three years. It's wild. If you've never heard the strategy before, we're going to go deep into it today. Plus, we're going to dig into their backgrounds and their story and their trauma and their successes and all sorts of good stuff. It's an awesome show. I think you're going to love it. So without further ado,

let's get to the episode

with Matt and Annie Weir.
