Welcome to the Multi-FAMILY zone podcast, where business meets family. The hosts of the show, Julia and Gino Barbaro, have been married for over twenty years, and have six children.    Julia homeschools the children, and recently became a marriage and life coach to help couples become better communicators and help enrich their lives.  The couple is constantly asked about how they balance their entrepreneurial and real estate journey while raising their kids. The Multi-FAMILY zone was created to address these questions, along with a host of questions from the Jake and Gino community.               After turning the first home he purchased into a rental when moving cross country, Josh Roosen saw the power of cash owing assets. To further get his foot in the door he joined up with one of the nation’s largest real estate investing education companies, where he became passionate about helping others while furthering his own investing career. After realizing the power of multifamily he joined the Jake and Gino team to grow his portfolio in multifamily while expanding the Jake & Gino community. Currently Josh owns 328 units and is the Community Director at Jake & Gino.   In this episode, Josh discusses his experience with going to college, the mistakes he made at school, taking five and a half years to graduate, as well as the benefits that he received while attending college. Julia and Gino Weigh in on the discussion and offer their advice on how they have navigated their two older children to attend college.   The focus of the podcast is to offer benefits and negatives to attending college, and sharing the experience of the hosts and the guest, while offering solutions to saving on costs and getting the most out of the college experience.   From his college experience, Josh has been able to grow the Jake & Gino education platform and implement what were the best elements of college, such as in person learning, accountability, and adding other elements, such as personal mentoring to the educational platform.   The Jake & Gino family have created the Youth Academy to teach young adults and their parents financial intelligence and the skills of becoming an investor and business owner. Their passion for education made them realize that these skills were not being taught in school, so they created their own program to teach these vital skills to teens and young adults.   Click on the link below to purchase the Youth Academy: Jake & Gino Youth Academy   Questions or comments?
