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.

#320: The 15% Interest Mistake That Nearly Crushed the Deal

In this episode of The Kash and Dash Show, hosts Ted Kaasch and Owen Dashner sit down with Dalton Daeges for a real conversation about what it actually looks like to build businesses, buy real estate, and learn the hard way.
Dalton shares how he got started flipping houses while still working a W-2 job, how his partnership with Neil grew into Beard Bros Build Co., and why showing up early, doing the work, and bringing value first made all the difference. He also breaks down how he moved into “boring businesses,” including Concrete Delivered and Precast Solutions, and what he has learned from operating companies that most people would never think twice about.
The episode also gets into one of Dalton’s toughest lessons: a 12-unit deal in Lincoln that looked great on paper but turned into a brutal reminder that due diligence matters. Between high-interest debt, missed expectations, capital calls, and writing a painful check years later, Dalton explains what went wrong and what investors need to watch out for before jumping into a deal.
Ted, Owen, and Dalton also talk about contractors, partnerships, family, business stress, DSCR lending, gold mining, and the challenge of building something meaningful without losing sight of what matters at home.
If you are an investor, business owner, or someone trying to build wealth while figuring it out as you go, this episode is full of real lessons, honest mistakes, and a few stories that probably should not be repeated at the dinner table.
