Give-first isn’t just nice, it’s strategic.

The more value you pour into the right people, the more flows back when you need it.

We curate a room of the right people, when you come ready to pour into others, the others will multiply it back into you.

[Mike Calhoun @MikeCalhoun]

Never underestimate what one breakthrough conversation can do for your business!

READY TO SWIM WITH THE SHARKS? THE BA REFERRAL PARTY IS LIVE TODAY!

Most networking events are a colossal waste of time. This is completely different.

Today, we aren’t swapping pleasantries or passing out generic business cards. We are launching a high-speed, strategic Advisor Referral Exchange engineered entirely for Direct ROI.

Join the original Shark, Kevin Harrington, and technology/sales expert AJ Aluthwala for a focused two-hour session built to open the exact doors your business needs closed.

🎯 The "Party Animal" Playbook:
✔️Targeted Asks: No fluff. Come ready with 2-3 hyper-specific requests (e.g., "I need an intro to a SaaS CEO struggling with retention").
✔️Vetted Intros: Tap directly into third-party connections across the elite Board of Advisors braintrust.
✔️Reciprocal Value: The fastest way to get a world-class referral is to give one. Bring your contacts and let's multiply our momentum together.

⚠️ FINAL CALL: SPEAKING SPOTS ARE LIMITED
To protect the quality of the exchange, speaking slots for specific referral requests are strictly first-come, first-served. Don't just watch the deal-flow happen—be the one calling the shots.

Your calendar invite is waiting — come prepared with clear referral needs and ready-to-share contacts.

Ready to see how we scale? https://t.co/pmsndIweNm

[Mike Calhoun @MikeCalhoun]

Most “overnight successes” took 7–10 years of invisible work.

Stay consistent when nobody’s watching. Then reap the rewards of compounding consistency!

[Mike Calhoun @MikeCalhoun]

Most founders stay stuck because they’re playing small games with small people.

Level up your environment and your ideas + execution will follow!

[Mike Calhoun @MikeCalhoun]

Execution separates operators from dreamers.

You can have the best idea in the world, but if you don’t move fast, someone else will!

[Mike Calhoun @MikeCalhoun]

One conversation can change your entire trajectory. I’ve watched it happen dozens of times in the BA room.

When you're in the RIGHT room, ANYTHING is possible! Get yourself in the right room!

Sunday reflection: What got you here won’t get you there.
Keep evolving or lose.
Comfort is the silent killer.

[Mike Calhoun @MikeCalhoun]

Build something that outlives your ego.

The best CEOs think in decades, not quarters. The faster you can get there, the better off you'll be!

[Mike Calhoun @MikeCalhoun]

The Give-First mindset is the smartest long-term strategy I’ve ever seen.
Value given returns multiplied.
Your network then works like a force multiplier!

[Mike Calhoun @MikeCalhoun]

Behind every scaled company is a founder who learned to have hard conversations early.

Avoid them and you’ll pay later!

[Mike Calhoun @MikeCalhoun]

Vision without execution is just day-dreaming.
Ideas are cheap.

Ruthless follow-through is rare.

[Mike Calhoun @MikeCalhoun]

Your network is either accelerating your growth or quietly capping it. There’s no neutral.

Choose the rooms you're in purposefully.

[Mike Calhoun @MikeCalhoun]

Clarity is the ultimate advantage.
Ambiguity kills more companies than bad markets ever will. Get ruthlessly clear!

🎙️ NEW PODCAST DROP — Real Estate Strategy that Works | Jason Matthews & Leo Climaco | BA EP 159

“If you are relying strictly on data screen-scraping to understand a market, you are losing. Lenders tell me Florida is down while Bill Gates is dropping $5 billion in downtown Tampa. Get out of your chair, walk the pavement, talk to the neighbors, and follow the public infrastructure money.”

Your host Leo Climaco sits down at the Ritz Carlton in Dallas with 30-year real estate investment and development vanguard Jason Matthews. Fresh into the #BAcommunity, Jason delivers a masterclass on navigating shifting local economies, building a luxury short-term rental ecosystem, and passing on unshakeable wealth—and work ethic—to the next generation.

Inside This Episode:
🔹Data vs. Pavement Reality: Why massive tech suites are constantly misreading thriving markets like Florida. Jason details the multi-billion dollar institutional capital booms in St. Pete, Orlando, and Tampa that spreadsheets are missing.
🔹The Driven-by-Dollars Blueprint: The exact indicators Jason looks for by physically walking communities, sizing up local "fabric," and leveraging single-family custom home turnarounds.
🔹The No-Employee Growth Model: How Jason and his wife, Jules, scaled a massive 43-property luxury short-term rental portfolio without a single standard W-2 manager—building an ecosystem of invested, sovereign business owners.
🔹The Multi-Block Domination Strategy: Inside Jason’s geographic concentration model in Redington Beach, grouping massive 4,000 sq. ft. luxury properties to command high-ticket group bookings (corporate retreats, family reunions).
🔹Curing the Success Resentment: A powerful look at how baby boomer founders accidentally push their children away by forcing them to compete with the business, and the formula Jason used to build a unified, high-performing family squad.

[Mike Calhoun @MikeCalhoun]

Entrepreneurship isn’t always sexy.
It’s pressure, decisions, and loneliness at times.

But the ones who keep showing up and refuse to quit make it look like they always had it all under control!

[Mike Calhoun @MikeCalhoun]

The right room doesn’t just give you answers — it quietly raises your standards.

You start thinking bigger without even trying.

MEET THE BOARD

BA Advisor: Jason Matthews

Company: 16 Redington Development LLC

BECOMING A MOGUL: FROM ELITE ATHLETICS TO REAL ESTATE DOMINANCE

"You learn how to deal with adversity. You learn how to manage situations where things are not fair and still perform."

When it comes to scaling with speed, precision, and zero friction, Chairman Advisor Jason Matthews sets the standard. At his very first Board of Advisors event, Jason completely productized his luxury short-term rental model, generating a staggering $1.8 million in sales in the room while aligning with a $200 million exit partner. That historic momentum instantly solidified his status as a Chairman-level leader within our braintrust.

Jason's transition from an elite Division 1 and overseas basketball career to high finance and real estate development is a masterclass in mental toughness. Through 16 Redington Development LLC, he builds purpose-driven, large-format luxury beach homes engineered specifically for high-yield group bookings, weddings, and corporate events.

In this special edition of the BA Magazine, Jason shares how his background in sports and economics shaped his disciplined real estate strategies—and how his ventures are funding a deeper mission to build a state-of-the-art basketball training facility and create opportunities for children with autism.

Play long-term games. Most people are building for next quarter.

The dangerous ones are designing for the next decade!

[Mike Calhoun @MikeCalhoun]

AI is powerful, but it will never replace human trust and real connection.

That’s why we built Board of Advisors around in-person rooms.
