In this episode of the Investor Shed Podcast, hosts Nick Beveridge (North Idaho real estate agent & investor) and Jeremy Kitchen (hard money lender) kick off 2026 with a fun, practical chat on building atomic habits (or "atomic hobbits") to crush goals in real estate investing, business, and life.
Nick shares his 2026 game plan: 7 fix-and-flips (solo or low-partner), aggressive offer-making, direct-to-seller marketing (2,500 mailers/month), optimizing flips without partners, funding retirement accounts (Roth IRA/401k, HSA), finishing his cabin project, more family dinners, and cutting podcast editing time via new tech. Jeremy discusses optimizing his photography business (CRM drips, marketing ramp-up, referral backups) and family habits (date nights, synced calendars).
They cover:
Perfect for real estate investors restarting strong, agents scaling leads, or small business owners building better routines in 2026.
