S2E30 Mindset Matters with Jeff Utecht

Jeff Utecht is an educator, podcaster, entrepreneur, investor, and much more!  

The child of two teachers, Jeff’s been rethinking education since his teenage years working his local farm in the Spokane Valley. His first mentor, a fourth grade teacher, agreed to let Jeff serve as a volunteer teacher at the age of 17. From these very first experiences in the classroom, Jeff understood how critical it is for learning to authentically honor learners.

Jeff’s experiences as a volunteer served as a catalyst for his career. Early on in his educational practice, Jeff’s passion and commitment to student learning led to him being awarded a Bill and Melinda Gates Grant, the Technology Leadership Project. Jeff’s curiosity about the evolving role of technology in education pushed him to experiment with blended learning, network literacies, and digital collaboration during a time when very few schools were savvy to the coming shift.

Jeff’s dedication to students drove him to document his learning as an educator, an instructional leader, an administrator, and a consultant to technology startups. Sharing his insights through his blog and podcast, he caught the attention not just of local leaders, but of leaders around the world. In 2010, Jeff was invited by the Prince of Bahrain to participate in conversations to reimagine teaching and learning. In 2018 and again in 2020, Jeff was invited by the UN to share his thoughts at the Global Knowledge Summit in Dubai. 

Today Jeff has upskilled more than 55,000 educators around the world. He’s been a keynote speaker at dozens of events globally, and he’s consulted with over 200 School Districts. He’s founded an international consortium of consultants, and he’s developed professional learning pathways that have created sustainable change for modern learners. 

Unwavering is Jeff’s personal mission to ensure schools prepare students for their future, and not our past. He has never stopped learning, and he has never stopped volunteering his support for students. Jeff is currently working on a new book, new professional learning pathways, and a new podcast series from his home in Seattle where he lives with his wife (a fellow educator), and his two cats (who most definitely want to pursue a future in education as well).

S2E26 200 Deals in the first 2 years with Mike Dehaan

Mike DeHaan is an accomplished off-market real estate investor (wholesaler) and the host of the Collecting Keys Podcast. He made a bold transition from his corporate job to pursue full-time real estate investing at the beginning of January 2020. With the support of a mastermind that offered coaching, accountability, and a strong community, Mike committed to taking his business to the next level.

After leaving his corporate job in January 2018, Mike spent over two years exploring various options until he stumbled upon real estate. In 2019, he began flipping houses and experienced success with several projects. Inspired to secure better deals, he decided to go directly to sellers, officially launching his wholesaling business in February 2020. The following year proved to be a breakthrough for Mike, as he achieved a remarkable milestone with his first $100k month in October 2020. Building on this success, Mike's business generated almost $2M in net profit in 2021, propelling him to pursue bigger opportunities.

Drawing from his experience, Mike identified an unmet need among fellow investors at entrepreneur masterminds. Many expressed interest in wholesaling but preferred not to handle the operational work. seizing this opportunity, Mike launched his operation in partnership with these investors, providing a marketing and sales team that can be hired on their behalf. This unique approach goes beyond a typical mastermind, allowing partners to cover the costs and leverage the expertise of Mike's team, while offering the potential for substantial profits.

Currently, Mike is actively helping partners close deals in 15 markets. His innovative marketing and sales teams have contributed to the growth of his own real estate portfolio, which now exceeds $11M. Remarkably, he has only $400k of cash tied up in the portfolio, demonstrating his strategic approach to investing.
