Thu, 06 Aug 2026 16:00:00 +0000

Artificial intelligence is giving business owners new ways to build custom tools, automate repetitive work, and reduce expensive software subscriptions. In this episode, Attorney Joe Seagle shares how he used Claude Code, despite having no modern programming background, to develop Sherpa, an internal chatbot designed for his firm.

Joe explores how entrepreneurs can use AI coding assistants to connect CRMs, accounting software, and operating platforms, automate customized reports, and communicate more effectively with IT providers. He also discusses how increased competition among AI companies is making advanced tools more capable and affordable.

But AI does not automatically make someone an expert. Like a piano, paintbrush, or welder’s torch, its value depends on the knowledge and experience of the person using it. Listen to the full episode to learn how combining professional expertise with AI can help you work faster, improve business systems, and turn ambitious ideas into practical solutions.

Thu, 11 Jun 2026 20:12:43 +0000

Are Florida Land Trusts compatible with a 1031 exchange? In many cases, yes—but maintaining tax-deferred treatment depends on understanding how the IRS applies the same-taxpayer rule and whether your trust structure is recognized as the same taxpayer throughout the transaction.

You WILL Get Sued… Here’s How Smart Investors Protect Their Assets

Thu, 30 Apr 2026 21:00:00 +0000

If you think asset protection means you’ll never get sued, think again.

In this episode, Attorney Joe Seagle breaks down one of the biggest misconceptions in asset protection: there is no such thing as 100% protection from lawsuits.

Instead of chasing a false sense of security, smart entrepreneurs and real estate investors focus on what actually works—layering strategies that make it difficult, expensive, and time-consuming for creditors to reach your assets.

Inside this episode, you’ll learn:

Why lawsuits are not a matter of if, but when for business owners and investors
The difference between inside creditors vs. outside creditors
How horizontal and vertical asset protection creates powerful legal barriers
Why insurance alone is not enough to protect your wealth
How tools like LLCs, land trusts, and entity structuring help “muddy the waters”
Real-world scenarios (rental properties, accidents, business disputes) that put your assets at risk
How proper structuring can give you leverage to settle lawsuits for less

Whether you’re a real estate investor, entrepreneur, or business owner, understanding these strategies can mean the difference between losing everything—or protecting what you’ve built.

The goal isn’t to avoid lawsuits. The goal is to make yourself hard to collect from.

Bitcoin Investing + Estate Planning: The Strategy Most Investors Overlook

Thu, 23 Apr 2026 16:21:57 +0000

What happens to your Bitcoin if something happens to you?

In this episode, Asset Protection Attorney Joe Seagle sits down with Lindsay Faust of River.com to explore how Bitcoin fits into long-term wealth planning, estate strategy, and asset protection.

Lindsay breaks down why River.com focuses exclusively on Bitcoin, emphasizing its decentralized structure, fixed supply of 21 million coins, and its track record as a resilient digital asset. The discussion also highlights how Bitcoin differs from traditional fiat currency, particularly in its resistance to inflation and centralized control.

They walk through practical strategies for investors, including dollar-cost averaging, maintaining a long-term mindset, and avoiding emotional decisions in a volatile market. Lindsay explains how River simplifies the process with recurring purchases, zero-fee incentives, and tools designed to help investors stay consistent.

A key part of the conversation focuses on estate planning—an area many Bitcoin holders overlook. Lindsay outlines how River supports trusts and LLCs, offering a streamlined onboarding experience, secure cold storage custody, and a clear path for transferring assets to beneficiaries.

The episode also looks ahead at River’s broader vision, including “banking with Bitcoin,” where users can earn interest, pay bills, and even direct deposit income while continuing to build long-term holdings.

If you are an investor, entrepreneur, or professional holding digital assets, this episode offers a practical look at how to protect and plan for the future.

Selling your property and thinking about offering financing? That decision could either create long-term wealth or long-term headaches.

In this episode, Attorney Joe Seagle pulls back the curtain on what really happens when sellers become the bank. He walks through how seller financing works, what terms truly matter, and why approaching the deal like a lender, not just a seller, can make all the difference.

He also highlights the often-overlooked dangers, including foreclosure delays, insurance gaps, and weak borrower protections.

If you’re considering seller financing, this episode delivers the clarity and strategy you need before putting pen to paper.

Before you agree to any seller financing terms, make sure you’re structuring the deal the right way.

Understanding FinCEN’s RERRR: Land Trusts, Entities, and Reporting Triggers

Thu, 26 Feb 2026 21:23:19 +0000

Beginning March 1, 2026, new federal reporting requirements will reshape certain non-financed real estate transfers — and many investors misunderstand how broad the rule really is. In this episode, real estate and asset protection attorney Joe Seagle breaks down FinCEN’s Residential Real Estate Reporting Rule and addresses a common myth: that simply using a land trust avoids federal reporting. FinCEN is focused on substance over form, meaning the real question is whether beneficial ownership or control actually changes.

Joe explains who may qualify as a “reporting party,” how responsibility is determined, and why layered structuring or trust assignments designed to mask a sale can create serious legal exposure. Attempting to outmaneuver the rule could invite federal scrutiny and significant penalties. For investors, attorneys, and title professionals, understanding the rule is no longer optional — it’s part of modern risk management.

Listen to the full episode to learn what triggers reporting, how to evaluate your land trust transfers, and what steps to take before the March 2026 deadline.

From Blind Spots to Breakthroughs: Rewiring the Entrepreneur’s Mind

Thu, 29 Jan 2026 16:35:54 +0000

What if the reason you haven’t reached your next level isn’t your strategy, work ethic, or business model—but something deeper operating beneath the surface?

In this episode of Trust This, host Joe Seagle sits down with Curtis McCullom to explore what many high-performing entrepreneurs experience but rarely articulate: hidden internal blind spots. These subconscious beliefs, patterns, and emotional imprints—often formed early in life—can quietly limit income, confidence, leadership capacity, and forward momentum.

This conversation breaks down why traditional goal-setting often fails when the subconscious mind is still running outdated programming. Curtis explains the key distinction between “outside-in” coaching, which focuses on tactics and objectives, and “inside-out” transformation, which addresses root causes. Together, Joe and Curtis discuss how entrepreneurs can tell the difference between a true business challenge and a mindset block—and why the two are frequently interconnected.

You’ll also hear a clear overview of Curtis’s LGET Mindset™ framework:

Learn: Gaining awareness of how the subconscious mind drives behavior and performance

Grow: Releasing what no longer serves you, including limiting beliefs, emotional weight, and old narratives

Expand: Aligning decisions, actions, and goals from a stronger internal foundation

Transform: Creating lasting change through consistent mental conditioning and daily practices

The episode dives into real-world examples such as self-sabotage, imposter syndrome, repeated plateaus, and why some entrepreneurs continue to hit the same invisible ceiling despite investing in courses, mentors, and systems. Curtis also explains how modalities like NLP, Hypnotherapy, and Mental Emotional Release® (MER) help clients access deeper mental layers to uncover root causes and create lasting transformation.

Watch the full episode of Trust This to learn how to identify what’s truly holding you back—and how to unlock the next level that’s already within you.

About Curtis McCullom

Curtis McCullom helps CEOs, founders, and entrepreneurs eliminate the blind spots that have silently held them back since childhood—unlocking greater income, confidence, and personal freedom. Through his LGET Mindset™ framework (Learn, Grow, Expand, Transform) and powerful modalities like NLP, Mental Emotional Release® (MER), and Hypnotherapy, he facilitates deep subconscious reprogramming for lasting change.

The Risks of Dissolving an LLC Too Soon

Thu, 08 Aug 2024 12:23:31 +0000

Thinking of dissolving your LLC? Before you do, join attorney Joe Seagle in this eye-opening episode of Ask Joe.

Discover why dissolving an LLC too soon can expose members to personal liability and learn why it's crucial to keep your LLC open for at least five years after your last business activity. Joe explains how keeping your LLC active can protect you from lawsuits and financial obligations. If your LLC handles real estate transactions through land trusts, dissolving might be safer since the trustee becomes the proper defendant in any lawsuits. But remember, always consult a lawyer before making any decisions to avoid unintended consequences.

What Happens if a Dissolved Trust Gets Sued?

Thu, 01 Aug 2024 18:59:07 +0000

In this episode of Ask Joe, Attorney Joe Seagle discusses how to navigate lawsuits against a dissolved land trust. Joe explains that if a land trust has been dissolved and someone sues the trust, there is usually no need to hire an attorney or defend the action because the land trust no longer exists and has no assets.

However, if the plaintiff tries to go after the beneficiaries, there is no clear answer in Florida law. In the past, attempts to go after beneficiaries after the trust has been terminated have been unsuccessful. It is recommended to use another LLC or corporation as the beneficiary of a land trust for added asset protection. If the plaintiff manages to sue the land trust and reach the beneficiary, having an LLC or corporation as the beneficiary ensures that the judgment is worthless as they have no assets. It is advised to have an LLC or corporation as the beneficiary for any property other than a homestead property.

Best Practices for Titling Real Estate

Fri, 26 Jul 2024 12:09:12 +0000

Welcome to another episode of Ask Joe! ️ Attorney Joe Seagle answers one of the most frequently asked questions: how to take title to your real estate. Joe recommends that married couples take title with both spouses as "tenancy by the entirety" for maximum asset protection. This means if one spouse faces legal issues, the property remains protected. For unrelated parties, joint tenancy with rights of survivorship or tenants in common are common options. However, forming an entity like an LLC or land trust can offer better asset protection and easier management. Joe emphasizes the importance of consulting a real estate attorney, especially if you're buying property in Florida, to understand the best way to hold title based on your specific situation. He also highlights the importance of having a will to ensure your property is distributed according to your wishes.

Ask Joe - Understanding 1031 Exchanges

Fri, 19 Jul 2024 11:59:11 +0000

In this episode of Ask Joe, Attorney Joe Seagle explains what a 1031 exchange is and how it benefits investors. A 1031 exchange allows investors to defer capital gains tax and depreciation recapture tax by replacing an investment property with another property. Joe highlights the importance of holding the replacement property for at least two tax years and ensuring it is held as an investment property, not a second home. Renting out the property and advertising it as a rental is crucial to prove its investment status. After holding the property for two years, it can be converted into a primary residence, potentially allowing for the primary residence exclusion on capital gains tax.

Fri, 12 Jul 2024 12:05:40 +0000

The Loper-Brite case, overshadowed by other events, will have a significant impact on the way businesses operate in the United States for the next 40 years.

Ask Joe - Florida Land Trusts, Anti-Squatters Law, Homesteading Property & more!

Fri, 03 May 2024 11:18:19 +0000

In this episode, Joe Seagle answers questions about land trusts and provides insights into their benefits and processes. He explains how a land trust differs from other forms of property ownership, the process of setting up a land trust, the tax implications of owning property through a land trust, and the ability to homestead a property in a land trust. Joe also discusses the importance of anonymity in land trusts and the potential issues that can arise from too much anonymity. In this conversation, Joe Seagle discusses the importance of anonymity and asset protection in real estate ownership. He explains that entities like corporations and LLCs were created to limit liability and segregate liabilities. Anonymity can protect property owners from angry tenants and outside creditors.
