254: In this episode, I’m talking with Claude Diamond, a legendary sales coach, real estate investor, former attorney, and the creator of the G.U.T.S. Sales Method. In this conversation, we dive deep into how real persuasion works in real estate and why most land investors get it completely wrong.

(Show Notes: REtipster.com/254)

We covered the real psychology of sales: why most training misses the mark, how to turn prospects into the salesperson, the power of silence, emotional decision-making, qualifying fast with a 3-minute timer, and why enthusiasm + value beats every script. Claude shares raw stories, role-plays, and his “Gut Selling” philosophy that’s made him financially free and is still helping investors worldwide.

If you’re tired of rejection, shiny-object syndrome, or just sending more mail without better conversations, this is the one you’ve been waiting for.

We dig into how this technology works, the compliance rules around AI, the tech stack powering it, and how it compares to traditional cold calling or direct mail.

249: In this episode, I’m talking with intuitive money coach Danielle McKinley about money stories, contentment, and the infinite banking concept (IBC), a strategy I’ve personally used for the past five years.

(Show Notes: REtipster.com/249)

We dig into why her nine-figure software exit felt strangely empty, how childhood money trauma shaped her drive for safety, and how she created a “contentment filter” to build wealth that actually supports the life you want… instead of chasing numbers that don’t make you any happier.

Then we take an honest, non-pitch look at infinite banking:

• What it is (in plain English),
• How real estate and land investors can use it,
• How it really compares to 401(k) loans,
• Why banks quietly use the same strategy, and
• How to avoid getting sold the wrong life insurance policy with huge commissions.

If you’ve heard about using whole life insurance as your “personal bank” for deals, but you’re confused or skeptical, this conversation will clear up a lot.
