EP #272 -This week on the podcast, I'm joined by Adam Adams, a 9-Figure Real Estate Investor, Entrepreneur, and top Podcaster as we discuss How to Run Multiple Businesses and Grow Them Through Podcasts.
He is also known in the real estate community as Triple A, has devoted himself to educating and inspiring investors through events, podcasts, his program, and his thriving Meetup group. In 2005, Adam took the plunge into part-time real estate investing, but it quickly became his full-time passion! Adam has partnered in many multifamily syndications both as a general partner and as a limited partner. His company, BlueSpruce Holdings, focuses on finding and managing apartment communities and allows investors to take part in the ownership, cash flow, and tax benefits passively. Adam’s primary role in the company is to increase their brand and attract capital, successfully raising millions of dollars from private investors. He strives to grow his company’s brand as one of the top syndication teams in the United States.
Adam has been podcasting since 2017 and currently hosts the Apartment Investing Show. Adam's podcasts are approaching 1 million downloads, and have been listened to around the world.
Adam is the founder of GrowYourShow.com where they help you get your message out to the world. Their clients are getting ranked in the top 1% on Apple Podcast and other top charts which means ONE thing:His clients have more influence than 99% of the podcasts out there. Adam says the reason most podcasters fail is a lack of marketing. Which is why his niche is to manage that critical piece so you can have more listeners, more downloads, more ratings, and more reviews. Adam has a loyal following in the real estate industry as well as the podcasting industry.
After selling his real estate podcast (He actually sold his first show... I didn't even know you could do that), he launched "The Podcast on Podcasting" which is ranked as the top podcast to help podcasters.
