| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to the Movers and Shakers podcast. My name is Gino Barbera, co-founder of Jake and Gino, |
| 0:06.4 | multifamily investor, educator, father, and mentor. Today on the show, we have Marshall Friedman. |
| 0:11.6 | He joined Jake and Gino almost four years ago and has since the master portfolio of over 700 units |
| 0:17.2 | that include multifamily, RV parks, and mobile homes. He's currently the CFO of a group |
| 0:22.3 | of managed service companies where he oversees cash flows, operations, and strategic investments. |
| 0:28.1 | Welcome to the show, Marshall. Yes, thank you for having me. It's great to be here and it's good |
| 0:32.1 | to see you again, Gino. Marshall, I'm excited. I usually don't get this exciting, this Giddy in the |
| 0:36.3 | beginning of the call, but as I was getting ready for the show, I was reflecting upon that, want to call it, fateful conversation we had. |
| 0:43.3 | I was in my office, in my house, and I'm walking around, and Josh, team member says, hey, I've got this guy that I want you to talk to. |
| 0:50.5 | He's really high level. He's got a great job, but he's scared about pulling the trigger. |
| 0:55.7 | And I get on the phone and it's Marshall. Walk us through what you were going through almost |
| 0:59.8 | four years ago. It's been a long time. Talk about your background. The great job you had, |
| 1:06.5 | the possibilities with that job, but you're getting burned out and saying, I just want to reset. |
| 1:10.2 | I want to do something different with my life. Yeah, yeah. So it was pretty, it was pretty wild. |
| 1:14.8 | It was pretty wild. So, I mean, I still think about it. And I remember how horrifying that, |
| 1:19.9 | that really felt at the time. And I was, I mean, first of all, I'm fortunate enough to have a wife |
| 1:24.5 | who was super into real estate investing, at least the idea of us doing |
| 1:28.6 | it, and she just kept saying, do it. Come on, do it. And I'd be like, should I, because every night I'd |
| 1:32.8 | go home and I'd be like, ah, should I really do this? This is really scary. And she'd be like, |
| 1:35.5 | yes, do it. And I'm like, okay. So, I mean, that, that probably persisted for a while. But what really happened was we were selling a podcasting company. |
| 1:44.6 | And I started listening to podcasts and learn more about the business we were selling. |
| 1:47.8 | And then I had never really listened to podcasts before, but I started listening to other podcasts and then kind of chase this rabbit hole of finance, investing, and then real estate and then multifamily. |
