💰 WIN OF THE WEEK An Insider Shares How To 'Destruct’ Your Way To Profits w/ Eric Carey

This week’s podcast is 🔥.

Eric Carey of Datasafe joined me on ClosersKlub and delivered a raw masterclass on how to build your parachute after jumping out of the plane. Thrown into the paper shredding industry after the passing of his father, Eric had to learn fast, pivot smart, and push through the pain.

We talked about:

Losing a mentor and finding a mission.

Making money without a safety net.

Building a lifestyle for freedom—not just for flex.

And how faith, grit, and one decision at a time can change your whole life.

💵 REAL ESTATE THIS WEEK

The U.S. housing market is experiencing a notable shift, presenting both challenges and opportunities for investors:

• Buyer's Market Emergence: Rising mortgage rates, averaging 6.86% as of May 22, 2025, have dampened demand, leading to increased inventory and longer listing times. Pending home sales dropped 6.3% in April, the largest decline since 2022, reflecting buyer hesitation amid economic uncertainty.

• Flipping Strategies: While real estate flipping isn't dead in 2025, it faces significant challenges that require astute strategies and careful planning. Investors must navigate fluctuating home prices, changing buyer dynamics, and economic uncertainties.

• Multifamily Investment Outlook: The multifamily real estate market is evolving, and 2025 is shaping up to be another critical year for investors. Understanding trends in pricing, interest rates, and inventory is crucial for making informed decisions.

  In this dynamic environment, staying informed and adaptable is key.

₿ CRYPTO CORNER

🧠 MINDSET SHIFT – LEVEL UP YOUR MENTAL GAME

Let’s be real—being a man in 2025 comes with its own set of challenges. The pressure to perform, provide, and push through without showing weakness is real. But here's the truth: ignoring your mental health doesn't make you stronger; it makes you vulnerable.

Recent data reveals a concerning trend: young men under 35 are experiencing unprecedented levels of loneliness, with 25% reporting feelings of isolation. This isn't just about being alone; it's about the societal expectations that discourage emotional expression and seeking help.

Moreover, the stigma surrounding men's mental health is deadly. In Spain, for instance, men account for nearly 74% of suicides, a statistic that underscores the urgent need for change in how we address men's emotional well-being.

But there's hope. Initiatives like Andy's Man Club for men in the US and UK are creating spaces where men can talk openly without judgment. These groups are expanding rapidly, reflecting a growing recognition of the importance of mental health support tailored for men.

It's time to redefine strength. True resilience comes from acknowledging your struggles and seeking support when needed. Let's break the cycle of silence and build a community where mental health is prioritized.

💪 FITNESS EDGE – STRONGER, SHARPER, BUILT FOR LIFE

Listen up—if you're still training like it's 2005, you're leaving strength, energy, and time on the table. The top-performing men in their 30s and 40s are ditching the ego lifts and building real-world, functional strength that translates to how they move, work, and live.

Forget beach muscles. We're talking performance.

✅ Functional Strength Training is the move in 2025.

🕹️ Virtual Reality (VR) Workouts are here to stay.
If your brain checks out during boring reps, plug into VR and fight zombies while you get shredded. Fun = consistent. Consistent = results.

Bottom line?
You want to lead, build wealth, and protect your legacy—you better build a body that can handle it.

Train smart. Train strong. Stay dangerous.

📚 CLOSER’S BOOK NOTES

Final Lessons from Atomic Habits: Advanced Tactics

We wrapped up James Clear’s Atomic Habits with some of the most high-leverage lessons yet. Here’s the breakdown:

🔬 Maximize Your Game

Reps matter—but growth happens when you stretch. Keep raising your standard.

→ “Habits are the foundation. Deliberate improvement is the multiplier.”
