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.

#260 The Self-Made Developer: Building Wealth One Nail at a Time with Jennifer Newby
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode, Ted and Owen sit down with Jennifer Newby, a fearless DIY homebuilder turned developer whose story proves that grit and curiosity can outbuild any limitation. From tearing down her first house with a sledgehammer to constructing luxury homes from scratch, Jennifer turned “learning as you go” into a full-fledged business model.
She shares how she and her husband built their first home using YouTube videos, library books, and pure stubbornness — living in a camper, bootstrapping their way through every obstacle, and learning one painful drywall lesson at a time.
Now, Jennifer’s creating affordable housing, mentoring new investors, and leading the next generation of builders through her local RIA. This episode is for anyone who’s ever wondered what happens when you stop waiting for permission and just start building.
You’ll learn:
- How Jennifer turned $10K and a dream into a full-time development career
- The smartest (and dumbest) DIY lessons she learned along the way
- How joining her local RIA changed her trajectory
- Why mentorship and community matter more than money in the beginning
- How she balances grit, growth, and a little chaos at home
👉 Listen now — and get inspired to build something that lasts.
