The Kash & Dash Show
The Kash & Dash Show is where real conversations happen around business, entrepreneurship, real estate, and the people behind it all. Hosted by Ted Kaasch and Owen Dashner, this show goes deeper than the usual surface-level interview. We talk with investors, business owners, and high-level operators about the grind, the growth, the setbacks, the lessons, and the legacy they’re building.
This is not just a deals podcast. It’s about the real person behind the business — what drives them, what they’ve learned, what they’re still figuring out, and what success has actually cost them along the way.
Each week, you’ll hear honest interviews, unfiltered conversations, and the kind of stories you usually do not hear in a traditional business or real estate show.
Grind. Growth. Legacy.

#203: The Real Estate Rundown with Owen and Ted
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this jam-packed episode of REIA Radio, Owen Dashner and Ted Kaasch take you behind the scenes of the chaotic Omaha REIA event featuring Stella Han. From tornado warnings and flight delays to sponsor cancellations, the night teetered on disaster—but somehow pulled through.
Ted shares the stress of scrambling when your keynote speaker’s flight keeps getting pushed and the weather threatens to shut everything down. He also jumps in with the infamous “Oma-dome” theory—Omaha’s mythical weather bubble that, once again, spared the city from the worst of the storm.
The conversation shifts to investor life lessons: Ted breaks down one of his trickiest conversion projects, where a botched electrical setup led to a costly pivot into midterm and Airbnb strategies. Owen walks through the real ROI of adding an egress window and turning a 2-bed into a 3-bed—how a $15K upgrade could add $30K+ in value.
They also tease next week’s episode with Kyle Aho—a humble powerhouse who quietly built 315 units by age 33 in a town of just 77,000 people. Owen and Ted reflect on how much you can accomplish when you stay focused, keep learning, and roll with the punches.
