The real gold in the BP Podcast and why the magic is lost forever

[Amy Raye Rogers]

We've listened to hundreds of episodes of the Podcast, many of them multiple times.  There have been many evolutions from the Josh & Brandon days to where it is now.  There is so much valuable information from over the years that anyone listening has heard everything they need to be successful as an investor.

The real gold is this:  From episode 1 we are introduced to Brandon Turner, an average mom & pop style small town investor.  Over the years we've seen his evolution in investing strategy and mindset.  It's highly relatable.  We've watched him struggle through many of the same challenges small time investors face and how he's overcome them.  He also gave us a filter on how to analyze the commentary from the guests on the show.  He inadvertently created a blue print for success.  

When we listen to moguls, it's hard to connect with because they have attained so much more than what we can conceive for those of us starting out.  The new investors that were interviewed were hard to trace to see if any of their ideas were sustainable.  Brandon is the model.  He is an average guy from an average place (no offense Brandon!)  He taught us how to think, how to analyze deals, and how to go from novice to mastery.  That is what made the podcast so special!

BP is a commercial juggernaut in real estate education now so I can't imagine we'll ever be able to recapture the beauty of the first 8 years (or the early forum days for that matter).  

Can anyone else relate? Agree or disagree?
