Summary: In this episode, I’m talking with the coach of coaches, Shaun McCloskey. Shaun started flipping houses in 2003, but when deals became sporadic from month to month, he transitioned into coaching and ended up not only making money for himself but really loving the fact that he was helping others in REI. Shaun and his business partner, Steve Cook, started the uber-successful coaching program called Lifeonaire. And in fact, I was in one of Shaun’s first group of students. So in today’s episode, we’re talking all things coaching - the real estate information selling business. We’ll talk about why we love coaching, how to spot a fake, the various coaching methods and more.

Joe: Hey everybody welcome. This is the Real Estate Investing Mastery podcast, and I'm with my good buddy Shaun McCloskey today. How you doing Shaun? Shaun: I'm good. How are you man? Joe: Awesome. Listen we just did five minutes of this and I forgot to hit the record button. So we are going to do this again like a complete dork. But Shaun, welcome to the Real Estate Investing Mastery podcast. And this is a podcast that I love doing. I've been doing it now for like four or five years with Alex. Alex couldn't be here today. We have got listeners in over a 160 countries from all over Europe. And I love this business. Today we are going to talk about something a little different than what we normally have talked about in the past. Normally we talk about doing deals, doing real estate, flipping properties, wholesaling things like that. We are actually going to talk about the coaching business today. And the coaching business has been very profitable to me, very profitable to Shaun, but the coolest thing is we’ve changed a lot of lives. I know Shaun, I mean I'm a part of life inter-coaching program that you and Steve Cook started I don't know six years ago? Shaun: Yeah. Joe: Been a while and it changed my life. It's made me a better investor. It's made me a better father, a better husband, a better coach and so I owe a lot of my success, if you call it that, to this guy here that I'm interviewing Shaun. He is a mentor to me and a good friend and same with Steve Cook. And so you know one of the things we are going to talk-- we are going to talk about the coaching business and the real estate information selling business. It's a very profitable business and I'm not ashamed to admit that I've made a lot of money,
