He's currently living in Thailand, because he's a real estate investor, which affords him the ability to do that. I'm just going to I'm going to start with that. So before I fully introduce him, let me just remind you that a full show notes and a weekly summary can be found if you go to thinkbigger.real estate and encourage you to go there and get signed up. Just this past week, my episode with Grant Cardone went out and if you weren't signed up, you missed it. But if you message me, I can be sure to send that to you or you'll find it on the website thinkbigger.realestate. I'm so very excited about today's episode. As you know, my passion is to help you think bigger. There's no doubt that when I start to put you around individuals that are doing amazing things like today's guest, it has an impact on you. And you start to think differently. You start to see the world differently. You start to see opportunities that have always been there, but now you're recognizing them, your actions start to change, your results start to follow that and then pretty soon your impact follows and my passion is to help you live a life of tremendous impact. So let's get into introducing today's guest. His name is Matthew Baltzell. He's a real estate analyst with Boardwalk Wealth and he currently has a portfolio of 100 plus units valued at over $14 million. You look awfully young looking gentlemen for such an impressive portfolio. And something that he's even probably more proud of is that he and his beautiful wife, who are living in Thailand right now, building a home in Thailand, are expecting their first child in January. So Matthew, thank you for coming on the show today. And congratulations for the amazing life that you're building.

Justin Stoddart
That's right. What's it like in the future man?
Matthew Baltzell
Thanks pretty good. You know, it's funny that you said that. I was speaking to one of my mentors. Two days ago and she was like, hey, do you have a stock picks? For me? I was like, No, I don't like the Asian markets are close. But like, I never really nobody's ever asked me that, like you're the second person. So maybe maybe I do know the future.
Justin Stoddart
That's really funny. All right, let's look, let's get into really quickly something that is a passion of mine, which is family. I didn't share this with you. Maybe you saw from my facebook profile, but my wife and I are blessed with six children. And being a father is is a legitimate part of my life, like legitimate part of my life. Whether I want it to be or not, no, I totally want it to be. But this show, again, is about helping people think bigger than really, it's about helping people be have a life of impact because of real estate, right? We're not all about like the nuts and bolts and this and that. Sure we'll have some of that, but really to inspire people about what you know, an amazing career in the real estate industry. can do for them. So let's, let's talk a little bit about about family for you your your soon to be a dad, you met your beautiful bride in Thailand. You guys are now expecting a baby in January. What are you most nervous about? What are you most excited about being a new Dad?
Matthew Baltzell
I'm most nervous. I would say that I'm not gonna be a good dad. You know? Like, I think like, what if I'm not a good dad? You know, like, there's, I don't even know how many fathers are out there. Right? It's like, you know, there are bad fathers. Like you've probably had a friend or an uncle. Right? And just like not not a good dad. And I don't think people plan on being like, not a good dad, which I don't think I will be but I'm like, What if I'm not like, what if one of these like things happen? Like, that's like one of my fears? Right? Um, so yeah, that's what I'm afraid of. What was the other part? What am I most excited about?
Justin Stoddart
That's right. What are you most excited about being a dad?
Matthew Baltzell
I'm excited to see what my kid looks like. So my wife is Thai and so they call Westerners like white people, right? They call them for long. So I'm a full on. And in Asia, if you're a half mixed baby, right, like you're, if you're half Thai and your half along, you are like, Oh, you can have such great skin. All the celebrities are like half English, half Thai. And so my wife has concocted our child as like a robot, like, I want him to have your eyes blue eyes. I want him to have my my hair. But I want them to have my cheeks and I want them to have your long legs. And like, I have no clue because every single time I see kids, right, they're like, they're like little monsters. I was born with black hair. Now I have like Sandy blond hair, right? It's like, You're like a fat marshmallow. Then you're like a cute kid. And then you're like, teenager, you're like a rap star. So I have no clue. So I'm really good. excited to see what my kid's gonna look like
Justin Stoddart
I'm sure he's gonna be, is it he or a she, do you know yet?
Matthew Baltzell
It's a he and he's gonna be Maximus Baltzell. Maximus the Great.
Justin Stoddart
That is a solid name my friend a solid name and I'm sure he's gonna be a handsome handsome little guy.
Matthew Baltzell
Yeah hopefully
Justin Stoddart
so so here's a little bit of word of wisdom of what I've learned about being a dad is that love like love is spelled TIME just given time the fact that you're concerned about not being a good dad tells me that you're going to be a good dad right? And and just time and attention right? Sometimes we can be given them time, but we're looking at our phone or whatever just given them attention. Not only makes you a great dad, but it makes you enjoy fatherhood. Like when you get to play with them when you get down and like really like look at life through their eyes. There's there's nothing better you're gonna love it and I can't wait to keep in touch and hear about the journey for you. So
Matthew Baltzell
I love that advice.
Justin Stoddart
Let's let's get into this concept of mentorship right kind of ties into that as well. But obviously My passion, again is helping real estate agents. Number one, recognize that the world is changing very quickly, people didn't used to have an option when it came to real estate agents like you just you just chose an agent. Now they have different options. They have different tech options, they have different low discounted options more than they've ever had before. And people I think I realized that they don't necessarily have to use a real estate agent. Now, in my opinion, to get the best result you have to. But you have to prove that each and every real estate agent has to prove that to their clients, that, that it's it's not enough just to market and sell a home but you actually have to be connecting those clients to a better life connecting them to power. And I think this concept of mentorship plays in very well. Excuse me when it comes to you, being a mentor to your clients, which means you probably need to be mentors. So you've got you've got data and and and value to be able to extend to them. Talk to us about like what are your thoughts on mentoring people on this topic that you've become expert at which is really testing?
Matthew Baltzell
Yeah, yeah. So um, yeah, you know, I w...
