Jason Hartman is the founder and CEO of Platinum Properties Investor Network, The Hartman Media Company, and The Jason Hartman Foundation. Starting with very little, Jason, while still in college at 19, embarked on a career in real estate while brokering properties for clients. He was investing in his own portfolio as well. Through creativity, persistence and hard work, he soon joined the ranks of the top 1% of realtors in the U.S., and in quick succession, earned a number of prestigious industry awards and became a young multimillionaire.  Hartman now has been involved in several thousand real estate transactions, and he has owned income properties in 11 states and 17 cities. His companies help people achieve the American Dream of financial freedom by purchasing income property in prudent markets nationwide.


Paul Moore and Josh Thomas host How to Lose Money, but don't let the title fool you. This is a wealth-building conversation built on a simple, powerful premise: the most valuable lessons often come from what went wrong, not what went right. Each episode delves into the honest, sometimes gut-wrenching stories behind business failures and costly missteps. You'll hear from entrepreneurs in the thick of a tough season and executives analyzing strategic errors, all sharing the hard-won insights they gained in the process. The focus isn't on the failure itself, but on the clarity and resilience forged in those moments. For anyone building a business, leading a team, or simply fascinated by the real, unvarnished path to success, this podcast offers a unique and compelling perspective. New conversations arrive every Monday, providing a regular dose of practical wisdom earned the hard way. Tune in for a refreshingly candid look at how the road to financial and professional growth is often paved with lessons learned from losing.
