509: Before You Buy the Rolex… Do THIS with Your Commission Checks Ryan Pineda

What should you really do with that extra 50–100K you made in commissions this year? Buy the Rolex… or buy the asset that bails you out when the market turns? In this episode, Sam sits down with entrepreneur, real estate investor, and former pro baseball player Ryan Pineda to break down how door-to-door reps should think about money, time, and new business ideas. They get into: ⏱ Why your best use of time (even as an owner) is still selling Ryan explains why he was already making millions but still going on appointments himself—because one $40K deal was worth more than any “busy work,” and often funded entire salaries or the next key hire. 💸 Before you buy the Rolex… do THIS with your commission checks Instead of flexing on cars and watches, Ryan walks through how he used flips, rentals, and other assets as “piggy banks” that saved him when business got tough. You’ll hear how he thinks about: Flipping vs wholesaling vs rentals Why “passive income” from rentals is mostly a myth right now How to treat rentals as long-term vaults , not short-term paychecks ⛳ How to test a new offer in 24 hours (Golf With Ryan playbook) Ryan unpacks how a random idea—“people will probably pay to golf with me”—turned into: One IG story 20 buyers at $2,500 Multi-day golf masterminds And eventually a multi-million dollar brand All before he had a name, logo, or “perfect branding.” Just proof of demand. 👉 Grab your ticket to D2DCon: learn from Golden Door winners, top entrepreneurs, and industry leaders all under one roof.
