t’s been a while—but we’re back, and a lot has changed.

In this powerful solo episode, Eric returns to the mic after a 6+ month break with raw updates, heartfelt stories, and a reminder of why we do this in the first place.

You’ll hear:

✅ The birth story of Callahan—and how Tiffany embodied warrior energy
 ✅ What it’s like raising three boys while running businesses
 ✅ The accidental beginning of Eric & Tiffany’s real estate journey
✅ How BiggerPockets and a garage rent collection started it all
✅ The bold decision to walk away from a stable teaching career
✅ Why Deal Maker Atlanta has become a cornerstone of their mission
✅ A rallying cry to keep showing up, even when life gets loud
