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.

#208: When Scaling Back Pays More: Terry Shanahan’s Real Estate Reality Check
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Terry Shanahan is back on REIA Radio—and this time, we’re not just celebrating growth. After amassing over 200 doors in under three years, Terry opens up about what happens after you hit your goals. Spoiler: it's not all mailbox money and freedom.
From inherited tenant disasters and surprise $19K trash liens to burnout and “door count delusion,” Terry shares the raw, unfiltered lessons he’s learned about portfolio optimization, property management, and the real cost of rapid scaling. He also dives into the systems he built, his VA hiring playbook, lease options done right, and how to stabilize when the economy and your portfolio start wobbling.
This isn’t just an update—it’s a crash course in what happens when you grow fast without a solid foundation.
