The CJ Moneyway Show

Bob Frady spent years climbing the corporate ladder - and getting pushed off it. At 52, with three children, a home in Orange County, and no dependable path back into corporate America, he was fired again. This time, he stopped waiting for permission and built the company he had been afraid to start. That company was HazardHub, a property-risk data platform that Bob and his partners bootstrapped before selling it to Guidewire Software. The acquisition created financial freedom, but it also taught Bob something important about himself: he is a builder who thrives from zero to ten, not an operator who wants to navigate corporate politics from ten to one hundred. In this candid conversation, Bob and CJ discuss getting fired, betting on yourself, choosing co-founders who complement your weaknesses, deciding when to sell, walking away from part of an earn out, and starting again when retirement does not fit who you are. Bob also opens up about divorce, debt, marriage, fatherhood, accountability, and the three questions he now uses to filter his life. Bob then explains why he launched PropertyLens after discovering undisclosed risks in homes he had purchased. The platform helps buyers investigate property history, roof condition, permits, environmental hazards, neighborhood factors, and insurability before making one of life’s largest financial commitments. This episode is about more than property data. It is about learning to see risk clearly - in a house, a company, a partnership, and yourself.

A jackpot brought Lorraine Bencivengo-Ziff attention. What she built afterward required much more than luck. Known as the Goddess of Slots, Lorraine joins CJ Moneyway to reveal the woman behind the entertainment brand - from an unpredictable childhood and her father’s belief that she was “the lucky one” to acting, education, social work, caregiving and entrepreneurship. Lorraine explains how a viral casino video introduced her to an unexpected career, how she consciously developed the Goddess of Slots identity, and how that platform opened doors in the acting world. But the conversation goes deeper than visibility. She shares the work behind the content, why she personally responds to her community, the encounter with a widowed follower that stayed with her, and why kindness matters more to her than being remembered for a win. This is a conversation about preparation, reinvention, personal branding, human connection and theresponsibility that comes with influence. The CJ Moneyway Show - Transformational Conversations.

Brent Bowers entered real estate searching for financial freedom—but the deeper motivation was family. After serving more than eight years in the Army and facing repeated time away from those he loved, Brent began building an exit runway. Traditional rental properties brought repairs, evictions, debt, and frustration. Vacant land introduced him to a different model—and ultimately changed his direction. In this conversation, Brent joins CJ Moneyway to discuss his earliest land deals, direct-mail strategy, seller financing, military systems, affordable-housing opportunities, and the consistency required to build something over time. But this episode goes beyond real estate. Brent speaks candidly about scarcity, overconfidence, costly mistakes, neglected due diligence, and realizing that a business supposedly built for his family could still take him away from them. This is a conversation about land, leadership, faith, humility, and remembering what freedom was supposed to provide in the first place. Educational notice: This conversation shares personal experiences and general information. It is not financial, investment, tax, or legal advice. Real-estate transactions involve risk, and results vary. Guest Bio Brent Bowers is an Army veteran, real-estate investor, educator, and founder of The Land Sharks. After more than eight years of military service and extended time away from his family, Brent pursued real estate as a path toward greater financial and personal freedom. He now focuses on buying and selling vacant land and educating other investors about the asset class.  Key Episode Takeaways Small victories can create long-term momentum. A career transition requires a runway—not merely an exit date. Military systems, preparation, and consistency can transfer into entrepreneurship. One unsuccessful investment model does not mean every model is wrong. Assets that appear undesirable may hold alternative forms of value. Early success can tempt an entrepreneur to abandon the controls that created success. Due diligence becomes more important as confidence grows. Financial freedom is incomplete if it does not restore time and presence. A business built “for the family” must be evaluated by how it affects the family. Humility protects both relationships and decision-making. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for advertising.

What if the next chapter of your life requires movement before complete clarity? On this episode of The CJ Moneyway Show, CJ sits down with Bill Blankschaen, Founder and Chief StoryArchitectof StoryBuilders and author of Your Story Advantage. Bill shares how he moved from ministry and education into storytelling after realizing that someone else could lead the school, but no one else could fulfill the writing assignment he believed God had placed inside him. The decision came with real pressure. Bill and his wife saw both incomes end on the same day while raising six children. Instead of hiding the uncertainty, they gathered the family, opened the Psalms and began walking through the season together. Bill studied the craft, developed proposals, wrote and kept moving until one opportunity became a business devoted to helping other people clarify and multiply their message. CJ and Bill also confront the quieter barriers that keep meaningful stories hidden: imposter syndrome, the Confidence Trap, the belief that familiar experience has no value and the spiritual drift that can begin after success creates comfort. In this episode: • Why calling does not always arrive with a complete plan • How a family can practice faith without pretending fear is absent • The preparation required after taking the first step • Why your “normal” experience may contain uncommon value • Confidence, humility and authenticity among high-level leaders • How testimony can break the isolation many men carry • Why success can weaken the disciplines that sustained the struggle • How to turn a lived story into service, impact and legacy https://www.linkedin.com/in/billblankschaen/ Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
