How can a humble horse inspector transform into a leading note investor? Join us for a heartfelt and reflective farewell episode as I, your host, open up about my incredible journey in the note business. With a special appearance by my mentor and friend Eddie Speed, founder of NoteSchool and Colonial Funding Group, we reminisce about unforgettable moments, from his days living in a mobile home to navigating the highs and lows of the seller finance industry. Eddie has been a cornerstone in my growth, and together, we share insights that have defined my career and shaped the industry to what it is today!

Remember the days of making cold calls from the yellow pages? We recount the persistence and serendipitous encounters that led to Eddie's first major deal and highlight the revolutionary changes that have transformed the seller finance industry. Our discussion takes you through the evolution of NoteSchool, the importance of practical training and mentorship, and the family values that underpin our success. This episode brings a personal touch to industry insights.

Celebrate the legacy of seller finance with us, as we honor the wisdom passed down through generations, from legendary figures like Gene Shoemake to the new era of digital transformation. Discover the philosophy behind creating notes for long-term wealth, and hear about the unique expressions ("Eddie-isms") that have become a part of our company vernacular. Whether you're an experienced note investor or just beginning your journey, this episode offers a wealth of knowledge, heartfelt stories, and a fitting farewell to the Be the Bank podcast.
