🎙️ Streams to Impact
You’ve spent your life helping others—solving complex problems, building systems, saving lives.
But when it comes to your own financial future?
You're realizing... the tools you were handed don't build freedom. They build pressure.
Streams to Impact is a podcast for high-performing professionals who didn’t choose their path for status or money, but to make a meaningful difference.
Now, you want your wealth to do the same.
Hosted by Dr. Allen Lomax, a psychologist-turned-investor who lost everything in 2008 and rebuilt with presence over pressure, this show explores how trust—not tactics—is the real foundation of lasting wealth.
Through intimate conversations with experts in alternative investing, you’ll discover how to:
- Reclaim your time, energy, and creative spark
- Invest with integrity and intention
- Build wealth that lets you be more, not just have more
This isn’t hustle culture. This isn’t passive income hype.
This is a return to what matters.
A new kind of wealth that is built on trust, not transaction.
You’ve given so much.
Now it’s time to build a life that gives back to you.

In this episode, Allen Lomax interviews Joel Kraut, a seasoned private lender and mortgage broker with over 20 years of experience in the real estate financing sector. The conversation delves into the complexities of lending, particularly in scenarios where traditional banks often decline loans. Joel shares his insights on the evolution of the lending industry, highlighting how perceptions have shifted from viewing hard money lenders as 'evil' to recognizing them as essential partners in real estate investment. He emphasizes the importance of understanding risk, responsibility, and the strategic use of leverage in building wealth through real estate.
Joel also discusses the BRRRR strategy (Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance, Repeat), sharing his personal journey and the lessons learned from both successes and failures in the real estate market. He stresses the significance of disciplined financial planning, the dangers of excessive leverage, and the need for investors to conduct thorough due diligence.
