Colby Amerine is a 10 year former Firefighter, Real Estate Investor, NLP Practitioner, Public Speaker, and Coach of new investors and entrepreneurs.

Partnering with a former firefighting comrade, together they launched a real estate company in Texas with the hopes of transforming mediocre properties into prime investments. Properties that might attract other commercial or residential investors and developers.
Colby Amerine is now doing development deals in Houston, Dallas, Austin, Los Angeles, New Jersey, New Orleans, and other distressed markets. With years of sales experience in multiple industries, Colby has negotiated thousands of transactions with great success.
Garrett Gunderson is called a “financial genius” in entrepreneurial circles, but he wasn’t born with a silver spoon. In fact, Garrett’s blue-collar roots are what make him so passionate about helping entrepreneurs build Economic Independence.
Garrett comes from a fourth generation coal mining family, raised in rural Utah. His great-grandfather left San Giovanni, Italy in 1913 to escape government corruption and excessive taxation. He came to America and was separated from his family for 7 years, living in a tent so he could build a better life for his family.
Garrett’s approach to personal finance is firmly rooted in this history. His company, Wealth Factory, helps self-made business owners and entrepreneurs who understand hard work — but who haven’t been given the proper financial tools to build lasting wealth. Because even though Garrett’s great-grandfather understood the value of hard work, he never got to enjoy it. And without proper structures, hard work is like eating soup with a fork. You keep busy, but stay hungry.
So Garrett imagined his great-grandfather was his client. How could he have helped him grow his wealth faster? And with that thought in mind, he built the kind of company that would have helped his great-grandfather build Economic Independence in 3-7 years instead of taking three generations to break the cycle of scarcity.
The process Wealth Factory uses to help you is simple. First, they recover leaking money that’s rightfully yours. Next they connect you with experts who create a framework that preserves, protects and grows your money. And finally they build structures that help you live wealthy now while creating a lasting family legacy.
This family legacy — and the burning desire to pass on what he’s learned to his children — are what drive Garrett to help others. He now spends his time innovating new financial tools and technologies that help small business owners and entrepreneurs like you build lasting wealth, live the life you love, and pass on a lasting family legacy of your own. He believes your legacy is defined not just by money, but by the values and contribution you pass along.
Garrett lives in Salt Lake City with his wife, two children and a dog. When he’s not traveling, speaking, or spending time with his family, Garrett enjoys Crossfit, eats Paleo and makes people laugh at local stand up comedy clubs.

Michael Quarles started as an Entrepreneur when he was an adult teenager, buying an R2 lot and constructing a duplex. He didn’t know what the heck he was doing; all he knew was that he wanted to. He had an “S” on his chest mentality, which helped push him through the many unknown battles of real estate.
Since that day, Michael has been involved with hundreds and hundreds of real estate deals. In 1991, he obtained his general building contractors license, building over 70 single family home and multifamily units from the ground up. In 2006, he was proud to obtain his broker’s license.
After doing hundreds of deals on purpose and thru systemization, several people asked Michael how he did as many deals as he did. His answer then remains the same as it is now: it was a matter of marketing, understanding negotiation, and respecting systems.
Subsequently, Michael began helping new and seasoned investors jumpstart their marketing and their careers through a variety of the businesses that he runs today, including, YellowLetters.com, Buy Sell Fix Flip Academy, 1800Sell4Cash, Call Text Technologies, Inc., Print Centers, Alex/Ryan Call Center, and The Michael Quarles Real Estate Show.
During his career as an entrepreneur, Michael has come to realize that the difference between success and failure is our belief and understanding of the words Help, Want and Need and how those three words keep us from finding success.

Patrick Mahaffey spent the better part of seven years at Texas A&M University getting two different engineering degrees. After putting his time in, he started his engineering career and eventually made his way to the oil patch in South Texas. During his move from Corpus Christi to San Antonio, oil prices started declining and work was slowing down. Luckily one of Patrick’s best friends from college, Mike Powell, had already been settled into San Antonio and was earning his stripes in the investment real estate arena, buying up as much as possible. Since he had enough time to kill in between jobs, Patrick asked if he could ride around town with him and see what this “house buying” gig was all about. Not knowing a THING about real estate (much less buying houses with cash, at a discount) he was confused but certainly intrigued! After countless questions over drinks, and eventually working his way to writing up a proper contract, it felt like something fun to do in his spare time.
With time passing and no positive correspondence from the engineering firms in town (mostly since Patrick was being difficult with his requests), he was asked to take up the real estate game full time. Since he’s about as analytical as they come, there weren’t enough books for him to read to understand this concept, and he certainly struggled with some of the simplest fundamentals, but he found my way to slowly buying a house or two, here and there.
Three years flew by and Patrick is working on holding onto his own notes for owner financing, and the lessons have been invaluable. It’s tough to measure the amount he’s learned in that time, since none of it would’ve ever ended up on my plate if he had continued the standard path of corporate life with a nine-to-five J-O-B. The business, financial, entrepreneurial, and general real estate knowledge/experience are tough to replace at this point.
