In this extensive interview, Jay Conner, a seasoned real estate investor and coach, shares his journey and insights into building a successful coaching business over the past 14 years.

He recounts his entrepreneurial journey starting in 2003 when he and his wife began investing full-time in single-family homes and describes the challenges he faced during the 2008 financial crisis that led to a pivotal transformation in his approach to financing. When he suddenly lost access to a crucial line of credit, Jay discovered the world of private money lending, which opened up new avenues for funding his real estate deals. This discovery not only salvaged his business but allowed it to thrive as he capitalized on the influx of foreclosures in the market.

Transitioning to the coaching space, Jay created educational programs that demystified this concept for potential lenders, allowing him to raise significant capital quickly. The journey into coaching began in earnest after a conversation with fellow real estate expert who encouraged him to leverage his unique skill set in private money fundraising. Following this advice, Jay held his first seminar in 2011, marking the formal launch of his coaching initiatives.

Megan and Jay discuss the significance of having a clear and focused brand. Jay describes how he positioned himself as the “private money guy,” a title that has remained consistent throughout his career. He underscores the necessity of a singular marketing message that resonates with a clearly defined audience. This focus has not only established him as a leading authority in the real estate coaching niche but has also helped in building trust and recognition among potential clients.

Throughout the interview, the value of consistency and authenticity in branding is highlighted. The dialogue concludes with both Jay and Megan encouraging aspiring coaches to focus on one primary result they can provide to clients, rather than attempting to blend multiple expertise areas into a single offering. Jay reiterates how vital it is to lean into one’s authentic self when engaging with audiences and creating marketing content.

In this episode of the Built to Last show, Megan interviews Kendall Lejeune, exploring his multifaceted journey as an entrepreneur, educator, and branding expert.

Kendall recounts his early influence from his entrepreneurial grandfather, which instilled a strong desire to forge his own path rather than adhere to traditional employment models. Though he initially thrived as a music teacher, he felt a persistent entrepreneurial drive, leading him to explore real estate while still educating students. He began wholesaling houses while teaching and quickly expanded his income through real estate.

The conversation shifts to how Kendall's diverse pursuits intersect and inform his approach to branding and community building. He compares designing marching band shows to creating effective brands, equating both to theatrical productions that elicit specific emotional responses from an audience. Through his experiences in music and performance, Kendall articulates how successful branding hinges on intentional design elements, stimulating emotional connections and guiding customer perceptions.

Kendall further discusses organic growth strategies he employed to cultivate his community without relying on paid advertising, emphasizing that brands should make people feel part of something greater. Initially, he focused on providing free, value-driven content in his podcast, asking insightful questions that resonated with listeners.

The essence of his growth strategy intertwines community engagement with the branding process, reflecting that the brand's “soul” resonates with its audience. He emphasizes the importance of understanding human psychology to foster that sense of belonging — recognizing the various desires and fears driving potential audience members. This genuine understanding encourages community members to engage at different levels, including both free and paid offerings, translating inquiries and interest into structured programs that add value to their entrepreneurial journeys.

Kendall also addresses the evolution of the brand and the organic adaptation of its offerings, noting that changes should align with the community's needs. He acknowledges that branding isn't just about transactional relationships; it’s about creating meaningful experiences and responding genuinely to audience feedback.
