Helping to put the "KC" in Bigger PoKCets? (eh, you get the idea)

[Brent Scholz]

My career as a stand-up comedian is over before it began. Let's hope my foray into real estate investing goes better!

Noah told me to introduce myself here, so who am I to disregard protocol. I'm an executive creative director in advertising, having done agency life for 25+ years. I recently devoured the book "How to Invest in Real Estate: The Ultimate Beginner's Guide" recently...which led me to discovering this community...which is leading me to thinking about my next chapter in life. Not sure which path I'll take yet, as I'm in "absorb everything and learn thyself" mode still. Looking forward to making connections and growing.

Go Chiefs! (and Royals, and Jayhawks)
