Strap in—this week on Off Market Mindset, host Michael Riordan sits down with military‐vet‐turned‐real estate powerhouse Shawn McArthur. Shawn’s journey starts with his very first flip—a meth house renovation completed while he was still on active duty in the Army—and rockets through a breakout career selling 30 homes in his first six months as an agent (53 that first year, 55 the next) before diving full-throttle into fix & flips and multifamily investing.

You’ll hear how Shawn:

Leverages dual expertise as both a licensed REALTOR® and an investor to craft smarter solutions for sellers and clients.

Built a cash‐offer & creative‐finance engine off team‐driven inbound leads—no paid ads required.

Set his “Mount Everest” goal: helping 50,000 real estate agents get into investing within five years.

Overcame massive mistakes—including a contractor partnership that cost him over $60K in holding costs and hard lessons on vetting collaborators.

Champions community & mentorship as the ultimate shortcut to success, closing the experience gap by years when you learn from others.

What You’ll Learn

How to integrate creative financing strategies (subject‐to, seller-carry, cash offers) into your agent toolkit to serve clients in tight equity or foreclosure scenarios.

The mindset shift from “sales scripts” to relationship-first selling—why authenticity wins over fancy frameworks.

Real-world budgeting & project management tips to avoid expensive rehab overruns.

The power of paying forward your knowledge—and why teaching agents to invest is a win-win for clients, teams, and your bottom line.

Whether you’re a part-time agent craving faster paydays or a seasoned investor scaling multifamily deals, Shawn’s hard-earned insights will give you fresh tools and the motivation to take imperfect action.

In this powerful episode of Off Market Mindset, host Michael Riordan sits down with Steve Pugh, a 28-year real estate veteran and one of Florida’s top brokers. Steve opens up about his journey—from battling addiction and facing jail time to becoming a high-performing broker associate under eXp Realty, closing 40–50 deals a year, and leading one of Central Florida’s top teams.

Steve shares the real reason he walked away from owning his own brokerage to align with eXp, and how he leveraged its systems, training, and network to simplify his life and scale his business. But this episode goes far deeper than real estate. Steve gets raw about the struggles of addiction, the turning point that saved his life, and how personal development, faith, and accountability shaped the man—and leader—he is today.

If you're a realtor, investor, or anyone navigating life’s hard choices, this episode is packed with lessons on growth, humility, and how collaboration can transform your business and your future. You'll also learn:

The truth about brokers switching to eXp Realty

Why most realtors miss out on working with investors

What tools and systems Steve uses to train and support his agents

How creative financing helps distressed sellers AND realtors

Why mindset and environment are everything
