You’re here because you want to build a real business, not just chase deals. We believe the best path to wealth in real estate is by building a service-based business around it.

Something that produces consistent cash flow, positions you for asymmetric upside, and creates space to take on bigger, better projects. The Club exists to help you do that. We connect you with the right people, tools, and frameworks to build a business that lasts and wealth that’s on your terms.

A League of Leaders:
Meet The Club’s Members.

The Club brings together seasoned real estate investors, entrepreneurs, and small business owners who’ve built businesses, closed deals, and navigated volatile markets.

For me, just realizing it’s okay to let go of something you’ve invested years in and take a completely different path was a game changer.
David Williams
Founder of The Eminence Group
I realized I didn’t need to chase security anymore. I could engineer asymmetric upside.
Jay Bhakta
Founder at Base Case and Build
Not every decision needs to be perfect. Taking action on a solid plan is better than waiting for a flawless one.
KJ Buckingham
Owner & Coach at Aligned Progress
Success right now isn’t balance, it’s momentum. We’re growing so future-Nick can choose balance later.

I’m not in the business of just making money—I’m designing a life I actually want to wake up to every day.

Decisions are important to a business owner, but joining Paul and the Club community was a no-brainer.

Jeremy Davis
Founder of The Investor Semester

The Club is for those who are sick of doing the same thing in their life and business and aren’t getting what they want.

Brea Burger
Real Estate Investor

Joining The Club has been a great experience. I’ve been able to learn multiple concepts that really been transformational to my business. The Solvable Problem that Paul talks about, - really figuring out what is it that I want -, and the concept of Closer vs. More - am I doing things to get closer to what I want or am I doing things just simply to get more?-, have reframed the way I take business decisions.

Mike Jones
President of Elite Cash Buyers

Joining The Club has been like finding a group of good neighbors who truly get it. It’s not just about swapping business cards; it’s about sharing stories, lending a hand, and learning from each other. I've gained tools and tips that save me time, help me work smarter, and let me enjoy life more. The people here? Salt of the earth. They’re the kind who cheer for your wins and stick around when things get tough. It’s not just a network—it’s a family you didn’t know you needed, and I’m mighty grateful to be part of it.

Michael Stansbury
Founder and Co-Owner at MemFixerUpper

I truly cannot say enough good things about joining The Club. The two seemingly simple ideas of creating your Solvable Problem and playing your own game to get there have not only changed my business but also the way I approach situations in my real life. Additionally, the community that The Club has cultivated is one of curiosity, giving, humbleness, and banter by some of the most successful and intelligent people I have met. I highly recommend joining The Club.

Ryan Jones
Club Member

The Club has been a breath of fresh air in the 'mastermind' space by encouraging - and better yet - providing frameworks to build better businesses rather than the overused and overrated sales pitch of a bigger business that is so common today.

It’s about showing up! - with integrity, a willingness to help, and a genuine desire to grow alongside others.

Remember: this is a team sport, and your success fuels everyone else’s too.

We host two epic in-person events every year: one in the Spring (May–June) and one in the Fall (November). These are power-packed with game-changing strategies, tools, and insights to level up your business and create new relationships.

But we’re not stopping there. We also host cool local hangouts —private dinners, chill park cookouts, cocktail nights that make our community awesome and unique!

These aren’t just events; they’re where real connections happen, ideas spark, and our community grows stronger than ever. Think less ‘networking’ and more ‘finding your people.’
