My past life story- I came from a space of addiction, suicidal thoughts, and heavy anxiety/ depression. I was 60lbs overweight, low confidence, and no support systems in place. I had 2 choices, I was gonna kill myself or I was gonna Live on Purpose, with Purpose.  I realized then, that if I wanted to create an EXTRAOrdinary Life I first had to create an EXTRAORDINARY SELF.  I had to find the greatness within me in order to extend that greatness into everything else that I chose to do in this lifetime.  I began my journey of not fixing anything, but only working on peeling back the layers that were chaining me down from experiencing better things in my business, my relationships and my life as a whole. The story I’ve built out the last 17 years is: I’m an Executive Coach for High-End Achievers.

I teach those who wanna operate at their Peak Performance how to become Mentally, Physically and Emotionally Healthy and strong AF so they can Look, Feel and Show Up in their Biz and Life as their Best Self.

I’m Javier Hinojo Jr. Married for 23 years, 5 kids, been self-employed pretty much all my life.  I live in Raleigh NC. I am the host of “The Naked Truth” about Real Estate Investing. Went to a Rich Dad Poor Dad seminar in November of 2015. Paid my 35k and got some training. Then I started by doing fix and flips of single-family homes. We were in Raleigh/Durham, Austin TX, Dollars TX, El Paso TX, and Tampa FL. We would fix and flip over 50 per year and wholesale 80+. Then late 2019, I decided to stop cold turkey and go to commercial real estate. I pretty much let all my staff go and started from scratch. I started to liquidate all my single-family homes. Was inducted in the Rich Dad Poor Dad Hall of Fame in 2018. I believe in Podcasts/mentors/coaching. I’m a high school pushout and don’t have a college education. Had 32 cents in my account on New Year’s day 2017. I almost gave up. Then I asked my kids for their Christmas money so I could pay my rent. By the end of 2019 I closed on my first apartment 63 units outside Charleston. Fast forward about 19 months later I am at 690 units across 7 properties.  Stabilized Value 50M.

Andre Popa was born in Communist Romania. His family made the journey to America when he was 9 years old with nothing but each other. No English, no money, no choice but to work hard as a family to survive. His parents were both Electricians as their “assigned trade” back in Communist Romania, so taking that skill set, they did whatever jobs they could find, and eventually started their own company. After all, that was the “American Dream”!

Andre worked alongside his family as an Electrician throughout his childhood, on top of selling whatever he could get his hands on… avocados, candy, newspapers, and puppies!

As a young adult, his entrepreneurial spirit was taking flight and he ventured out beyond Electrical, into Design & Construction. He quickly discovered he was a natural people person, and his connecting skills, along with his extraordinary vision and unique designs landed him multiple high-profile projects, including designing and building homes for numerous celebrities. He had definitely found his niche in creating, building and connecting!

In 2000, he met Tami Popa, a kindred spirit. They quickly put their entrepreneurial heads and hearts together, and through the years have built several successful businesses, on top of raising two beautiful girls, now teenagers.

Andre has never been satisfied with the status quo, and constantly strives to achieve new levels of success, or as he says … Badassery!

It’s this mindset that sets him apart from the rest, and keeps him hustling.

In 2017, he transitioned out of their traditional businesses, to pursue his dreams and passion projects. One of which was to take his years of experience as an entrepreneur, and passion for teaching and helping others, to the next level.

This was the launch of Badassery Factory, a place where anyone from anywhere could go through the Factory and come out a BADASS … In life, relationships and business!

Today, Andre runs his dream businesses from his cell phone, inspiring and empowering others to unleash their inner Badass, and travels the world with his family!

That is his “American Dream”!

When MeiLani’s 2-year-old son was diagnosed with brain cancer, it was the wakeup call she needed in life. She realized it was time to stop making excuses of all the reasons she couldn’t do things, and instead just start doing. Instead of focusing on the “Why Me?” situations she chose to capitalize on the “Why NOT Me?” attitude.

She jumped into her lifelong dream of real estate investing in flipping houses. After years of watching AirBnB’s growth and wanting a piece of the action, she acted on her “Why NOT Me?” mantra and opened her first 4 AirBnBs within the next 4 months. When we jump, we jump big. We are constantly opening (and closing) Airbnbs as we refine the areas we want to be in and the properties that work for us.

Now MeiLani she is mentor and coach that works with those who want to use systems to run and scale their Airbnb business and making sure it is a passive stream of income instead of taking over your life.

Christy Risco was a 4th grade teacher for 5 years, before realizing that although she has a passion for teaching, growing and giving – the Public-School System was not the place for her to shine bright.

After dating for 3 years, in 2011 – Ramon and Christy attended a Tony Robbins seminar called Date with Destiny. During the 6 intense days, they realized that they were ready for a big, bold step in their lives! They moved in together while simultaneously starting a new Real Estate joint venture Flipping REO properties in the Miami market.

Within 2 years of working and living together, they were both at their rope’s end. The relationship was practically nonexistent and their finances did not reflect the amount of hours and energy they were putting into their company.

After working with several life coaches and continuing on in their self-discovery journey, they began to make several adjustments to their current life situation- including getting an office and taking several personality tests to hone in on what they were really good at and what they needed help with.

Once they drew that line between personal and business space, things started to shift. Next, they hired a Business Consultant, who advised them to start looking for staff, even though it was scary for both of them to “give up” control in the business. This led to growth and a new direction for the company. Within 2 years, with a Property Manager and an Acquisitions Rep on payroll, they were able to grow their business to 7 figures and acquire over 100 units of rental properties.

In 2016, the couple had a daughter, Valentina, and again this started to shift the direction of their lives and business. They decided to sell off most of their portfolio and eventually close the office to enjoy more freedom and time with their toddler.

They are currently in the Private Lending space and take pride in having amazing relationships with all of their borrowers, who they consider family. They each are part of Mastermind Groups and run their own Mastermind Experiences in Miami. They believe in growing, networking, inspiring & giving.

Within this transition, many of their colleagues and friends started getting intrigued by their success both at home and in business. After much brainstorming, they realized that all of their success has come from working together to make things happen, no matter how difficult things seemed to get. Through this personal reflection – Both on Board was born. Both Ramon and Christy are passionate about helping and inspiring couples to work and play together in a way that serves each other, the business and the relationship as a whole! “Helping Entrepreneurial Couples Thrive” is what they are about and helping them create IMPACT in the world!
