Loss can be one of our greatest teachers. This summer wasn't supposed to be the way it was because last December, I sat next to my mom in a hospital room and took notes as she planned her funeral. None of us expected her to make it to the new year. But she did, and the summer that almost wasn't became the summer that was. _ During my break this year here at the lake, I've made time to reflect about the power loss can have on our lives, how we can use it for accelerated growth, and how gratitude and grief can exist side by side in our hearts. Life is always pushing forward. It's up to each of us to decide if we will be a part of it or not. I recorded this bonus episode while paddling my kayak on the last day of my vacation this year. Enjoy.

Tracy Timm is a born and raised Texas girl who has a very specific goal: to make life simple again. She does that as a quarter-life career coach and human capital advisor. Her program, The Nth Degree™ Academy, helps high-potential professionals discover their career “sweet spot” through a mix of self-discovery, tactical training, and some much-needed tough love. Tracy has a degree in behavioral psychology from Yale, a severely bruised ego from working on Wall Street, and has logged one trip around the entire globe. She believes that our unique purpose in life can be realized through our careers, and wants to help people come alive at work once again.
Tracy Timm’s MVP player Stats:
Tracy’s early career life started in the typical 9 to 5 with benefits and stability. After making some decisions to change up her profession, she started her own business as a career coach. After about two years, Tracy found a similar pattern in the needs of the people she spoke with and that led to the creation of The Nth Degree™ Academy.
In this episode, we talk about the importance of getting help from coaches and mentors and how one particular coach made a major difference in Tracy’s life. This coach ultimately gave her not only a great business strategy but also time with her father whose health was failing. Tracy also shares her thoughts on how people nowadays have so much opportunity to make money in so many ways by monetizing what they love doing.
Tracy also shares some great insights about finding the career you want using unconventional ways because the majority of the jobs on the market are “hidden” and really only secured through networking.

Tim Bratz is the CEO and founder of CLE Turnkey Real Estate, a real estate investment company that acquires and transforms distressed commercial and apartment buildings into high-performance investment assets. Tim began his real estate career in 2007 as a commercial broker in the competitive NYC real estate market, where he saw the true potential of real estate to transform lives. He spent time reading, attending workshops, and networking with accomplished entrepreneurs, and found that being resourceful was a cornerstone to becoming successful. Tim’s resourcefulness helped him build his first real estate company in 2009 in Charleston, SC, when he used a credit card to acquire his first property. Tim transformed a rundown duplex all on his own and turned a profit on his first deal. He reinvested those proceeds, meanwhile seeking private capital to expand his growing company. Today Tim still uses this formula for success, which all starts with being resourceful and having the right mindset. Working in real estate, Tim has learned how to build a passive business and create a residual income that allows him to live the lifestyle of his choice. Tim now focuses on educating and empowering active and passive investors to become financially free through commercial real estate. Under Tim’s leadership, CLE Turnkey owns over 1,300 rental units across five states and operates one of the largest property management companies in greater Cleveland. Tim is a husband and proud father, organizer for CLE Captains of Industry Mastermind and Cleveland Entrepreneurs & Business Owners Meetup Group, graduate of the Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses program, and an active member of several high-performance national entrepreneur masterminds, including Collective Genius, Deal Maker Family, The Brotherhood, Multi-Family Boardroom, and Advisor’s Council.
Tim Bratz MVP player Stats:
Around the age of 20, Tim moved from his hometown in Cleveland, Ohio to New York City and got a job as a commercial real estate agent, brokering leases in Manhattan. After seeing the wonders of owning rental real estate, Tim quickly decided that was the path he wanted to follow.
After years of being not so great at real estate and experiencing many failures, Tim built his business to a highly successful operation with a solid team of professionals and partners on his side.
In this episode, we talk about the difficulties Tim has managing his business and team, what success means to him, the importance of letting go of the fear that's always around money so that you can accelerate your business, the modern changes in investing in commercial real estate that weren't available last generation, some strategies for those looking at commercial real estate, and Tim’s wisdom on giving as much value you can.
Think the economy is in good standing? Make sure to give this episode a listen to hear Tim’s vision on the real estate market and the economy’s status for the near future!

Today’s starting quarterback is Laura di Franco, a 6-time published poet and author, inspirational speaker, holistic physical therapist and a third-degree black belt in Tae Kwon Do with over two decades of experience in healing. After checking off all the “to-do” lists that were to supposedly make her feel happy, Laura woke up one day and realized it wasn’t good enough. She had everything she could possibly want or need but wasn’t truly happy and knew that feeling had to change.
Laura di Franco’s MVP Player Stats:
Laura is a highly inspirational speaker whose mission is to help people ground themselves with healing, awareness, self-development while guiding them to live the very best life they can live. She wants to share her message out loud to inspire people to take action, align themselves, seek help such as life coaches and mentors, and practice what they’ve practiced out onto the field.
In this episode, Laura talks about her experience with awareness and her healing journey. How her game changed after she started to question all the negativity and realized, she had a choice. Her daily challenge is staying in the moment with an on-purpose-positive attitude while life throws its challenges and negativity. Laura has to remind herself that she is good enough and that people should follow that mindset. She says, “Brave Healing is how you show up in the world with a lot of awareness, courage and a little badassery.”
We also talk about a time when Laura played a foul standing up for a previous employee’s action, how she limits media entertainment to filter out toxicity, and how she stays in her lane to help focus on a positive mindset.
Straight out of Laura’s playbook is this powerful question: “What if there was nobody to offend, upset, or disappoint? What would you do or who would you become?”

“Some people do cocaine; my drug of choice is helping people keep as much of their wealth as possible. It’s the greatest natural high on earth.”
If that doesn’t get your attention, Team, I don’t know what will. Today’s starting quarterback is Molly Grubb and she is a dynasty builder. After seeing her family’s business torn away from her parents, watching them lose their identity and then walking away with almost nothing, Molly decided she wasn’t going to let that happen to other entrepreneurs and family business owners.
We all know owning a business has value and the average business owner has the majority of their net worth tied to their business. With only 20% of businesses actually selling in the open market this makes it extremely difficult for the average owner to ever realize the wealth they built in their business, personally. In fact, 90 % of businesses fail within the first 10 years. Molly is here

John Fairclough (FAIR-clow) founded The Resicom Group to help retailers optimize the way they improve and maintain their store environment. Under his leadership, the company has evolved from a local construction company into an international provider of facility maintenance and construction services. Naturally curious, John spends his time developing better questions to find the “uncommon sense” of a situation. By improving his questions, he’s been able to create better answers to the challenge of developing people, evolving their processes, and protecting the value delivered. John’s specialties include listening without prejudice, activating ideas, and mentoring without bias. He’s on a mission to help businesses protect their brands at all touch points throughout their physical facilities.

Happy New Year, Team PYP!
I'm super excited about 2019 and I hope you are, too!
I've got another fantastic season planned for you featuring a new lineup of phenomenal guests, bonus audibles, and some fun surprises along the way. New music, new cover art, new everything will inspire you to do more of what you already do well while also challenging you to step it up and move past your comfort zone so you can score more game-winning touchdowns.
That sounds really great to me!
Be sure to connect with me on social and don't forget to subscribe to the show.
So Team...Are you ready for kick off? Let's go! Get more out of PYP with these links: |
