Road of Life Podcast Episode 108

From $94K Tax Bomb to Tax Ninja: Sally Gimon's Story of Real Estate, Resilience, and the Secret Trust

You know that feeling when the universe decides to hit you with a cosmic baseball bat? Sally Gimon knows it well. In a single month, she dealt with a life-changing car accident (with no gap insurance!), her mother was in the ER receiving last rites, and she was stuck in a job she hated.

But instead of crumbling, Sally took action—and found a path to financial freedom through real estate. The biggest shocker on her journey, though? A staggering $94,000 tax bill in 2020 after a killer year of wholesaling properties. That’s where things got really interesting, and Sally became a tax ninja for entrepreneurs.

In this episode, we dive deep into Sally's incredible journey of turning personal crisis into powerful success:

• Arnold Schwarzenegger Did It, So Can You: Sally shares the hilarious and surprising inspiration that made her choose real estate as her vehicle for change (Hint: It involves the Terminator).

• The Vibe Check: Sally shares a gold nugget from her Irish mother that became a secret weapon for maintaining a high vibration and overcoming limiting beliefs—all with a simple mirror affirmation.

• The Power of Relationship: Sally shares a story about a massive falling out with a real estate mentor/business partner that tested the early days of her relationship with her now-husband, John, and how he proved he was truly on her team.

• The Uncomfortable Gift: Her biggest interpersonal challenge ultimately forced her out of her comfort zone and on to bigger success—a true testament to the universe working in your favor.

• Just Do It: Sally’s ultimate advice for anyone sitting on the fence is straight from a sneaker commercial.

We explore the significance of relationships, the lessons learned from challenges, and the mindset required for success in entrepreneurship - you don't want to miss this episode!

Road of Life Podcast Episode 107

Want a marriage that feels as successful as your business? Then you need to start having Weekly Team Meetings with your spouse.

We know what you're thinking: "That sounds like the least sexy thing imaginable." We get it! But trust us, getting aligned on the "big rocks" in your life is the foundation for a relationship that feels seen, heard, and deeply connected.

In this episode, we're pulling back the curtain on the one intentional practice that has been a game-changer for us and our private coaching clients. We’re sharing exactly what to talk about, how to structure the time, and the most important question you need to ask your partner every single week to feel more loved.

Listen in to discover:

• 📅 The Must-Cover Agenda: Get aligned on calendars, business stuff, health, personal stuff, family stuff and everything in between to prevent high-emotion, unproductive conversations later.

• 🏆 Celebrate the Wins: Use this time to look back and appreciate where you showed up as a team and achieved "big wins" in the last week.

• 🧭 Find Your North Star: Connect on big goals and dreams, and figure out what support you both need to advance the different "buckets" of your life (health, family, business, etc.).

• ❤️ The Secret Sauce: The one question that wraps up every meeting and guarantees you’re focused on making each other feel loved.

• 🚧 The Beginner's Trap: Why these meetings will feel "awkward and uncomfortable" at first, and our simple advice for pushing past the friction so you don't trade "short-term discomfort for long-term dysfunction".

This is about being proactive, not reactive. Dedicate just 60 minutes a week to build empathy, trust, and connection. Stick with it, and in a few months, you'll be blown away at the progress of your team.
