| 0:00.0 | What's up Action Academy, fam? Welcome back to another episode of Corporate America's Least Favorite |
| 0:04.2 | Podcast, the Action Academy podcast, the show where we help you replace corporate with cash flow. |
| 0:09.9 | We do this, ladies and gentlemen, through teaching you how to buy small businesses and big old |
| 0:14.0 | commercial real estate deals. But today's episode is a bit different from that, and I will tell you |
| 0:19.5 | why here. Today's show is with my good friend |
| 0:22.5 | Michael Elefonte. Now, he was on the Action Academy podcast previously, and we talked all things, |
| 0:29.4 | luxury short-term rentals. He crushed it. He did things the traditional way, made a lot of money |
| 0:34.8 | in his sales jobs, made a lot of money in corporate, invested that money |
| 0:38.8 | into his short-term rental, used that money to save more money, to buy another, to buy another, |

| 1:15.2 | today's podcast episode, guys, is we started talking about the real estate side and quickly |
| 1:21.2 | pivoted to the entrepreneurship and business side. We had ourselves a time. We just geeked out, nerded out on vertical integration, |
| 1:31.5 | on businesses that he built and has been building alongside his short-term rentals, everything from |
| 1:37.8 | coaching communities to staging companies, to brokerages, to technology companies, all within the Airbnb and short-term rental space. |
| 1:47.8 | And how he's able to generate lead flow from all of these brands through one central umbrella. |
| 1:53.3 | And guys, it was amazing. He's doing $15 to $20 million a year through this. |
| 1:59.4 | And I thought it was such an amazing entrepreneurship conversation |
