#105. How to Stay Grounded While Running an 8-Figure Real Estate Business? — Jonathan Yoo

How did a 28-year-old start a nationally-ranked 8-figure mortgage loan company? Do you think you can be a good successful Christian? How do you turn passion into profit?
This week’s guest is Jonathan Yoo. Jonathan is the principal and COO at Convoy Home Loans, a nationally recognized 8-figure montage loan and real estate company.
To put that into context, the company closed over $211 million dollars in total volume within the first year of the business. The Disrupt Magazine called them the “New Disrupters in the Luxury Real Estate space.”
Jonathan and Benoit discuss how to stay grounded while running an 8-figure real estate business, why mortgage debt is a good investment, how his Korean parents taught him about sacrifice, and why true passion creates momentum.

#104. How to Live the Most Fulfilling Life and Why Being a Jack of All Trades Is NOT the Same as Master of None? — Marco Rosario

Do you struggle with just doing one thing in life? Have you ever thought being a master of one is boring? Is being a jack of all trades useless in 2022? Can we accomplish everything we want to in life?
This week’s guest is Marco Rosario. Marco is a first-class DJ from Philadelphia with 22 years of experience, an aspiring actor and model with over 50 commercials under his belt, a licensed mental health professional and barber, and what he calls a “smile enabler.”
In the First Avenue DJ Profile review—one of the longest-running and most legendary venues where Prince and Lizzo launched their careers—Marco shared his mission statement, “I don’t want to just throw an event; I want to make a memory.”
Marco and Benoit discuss how to choose joy in our jobs, the non-negotiable of pursuing passions in life despite being scared, why being a jack of all trades is not the same as a master of none, and his incredible story of going viral with 22.8 million views.
Expect to learn from Marco Rosario’s inspiring life journey of going from nearly taking his own life to accomplishing everything he said he would, how he sold out his show at the legendary First Avenue, and tangible ways you can also live out the most fulfilling life no matter the stage in life you are in.

#103. How a Pastor Views Church Hurt, Do We Have Free Will, and Is God Really Dead? — James Lee

Why does God allow suffering? Is there free will? Do you know the difference between faith and trust? Are soulmates real?
This week’s guest is James Lee. James is a Christian philosopher, a college pastor at Youngnak LA, and a lecturer at Biola University. James has a graduate degree in pastoral care and counseling and a doctorate of ministry in integrative theology and philosophy.
James Lee and Benoit discuss faith, philosophy, religion and culture, especially in modern America, where Christianity has not had the best reputation for its historical wrongdoing.
This is a special episode because Benoit always wanted to uphold his Christian faith more openly on the show, but fear of the mob attack from the inter-web has stopped him until now.
Expect to learn about why most people leave the church, the trauma of church hurt, how James views 'God Is Dead,' and other philosophical discussions.
