In this episode of The Kash and Dash Show Unscripted, hosts Ted Kaasch and Owen Dashner are back with another wild mix of real life, real estate problems, business decisions, and the kind of stories that make you question why anyone owns boats, pools, Airbnbs, or commercial buildings.

Owen kicks things off with an update on his missing wedding ring, which somehow ended up stuck inside a baseball glove. From there, the conversation turns into boat ownership regret, pool problems, septic tank headaches, and the strange process of trying to figure out if a future pool can even fit in the backyard.

Ted shares what is happening during College World Series week with his Airbnb, including slower bookings, price cuts, and a surprise sidewalk replacement that started while guests were staying at the house. Not exactly the five-star welcome basket.

The guys also dig into a real commercial real estate decision involving an office building, a vacant floor, a possible state tenant, tenant improvements, and whether taking a lower rent number makes sense when the space could otherwise sit empty for years.

They also talk about business coaching, motivation, childhood money lessons, material things, development projects, and what it feels like when years of tough deals finally start showing progress.

This one has everything: wedding rings, pools, septic systems, Airbnb chaos, office leasing, business mindset, and enough side stories to prove once again that “unscripted” is not just a cute name.

In this episode of The Kash and Dash Show, hosts Ted Kaasch and Owen Dashner sit down with Dwan Bent-Twyford, known as the Queen of Short Sales, for a raw, funny, and powerful conversation about real estate, survival, faith, family, and betting on yourself.

Dwan shares how she went from growing up in small-town Ohio, working factory and restaurant jobs, becoming a single mom, and facing a major life setback, to knocking on foreclosure doors with a baby on her hip and making $22,000 on her very first real estate deal.

From there, her story gets even crazier.

She talks about learning rehabs the hard way, using a Home Depot credit card to get started, building a real estate career with no fancy background, doing more than 2,000 deals, writing books, becoming nationally known in the short sale space, and eventually helping revitalize downtown Clinton, Iowa with her husband Bill Twyford.

Dwan also opens up about Bill’s serious health battle, the decision their family had to make, and how that experience shaped their outlook on risk, faith, family, and taking action before it’s too late.

This episode is blunt, emotional, hilarious, and full of real lessons for anyone trying to build something bigger than where they started.

Listen now to hear Dwan’s story and why sometimes the best move is betting on yourself before anyone else does.

In this episode of The Kash and Dash Show Unscripted, hosts Ted Kaasch and Owen Dashner are back with another real, random, and brutally honest conversation about business, real estate, and life being a complete circus sometimes.

Ted and Owen kick things off with a throwback debate about the best cereals from the 80s and 90s, including Cinnamon Toast Crunch, Captain Crunch, Frosted Flakes, and a few that probably should have never made the shelf.

Then Owen shares the story of a major real estate deal that fell apart the night before closing after months of work, multiple inspections, and a payday he was counting on. He talks through the frustration, the mental reset, and how he had to rally instead of letting the situation bury him.

From there, the chaos keeps rolling. Owen gives an update on finding a new house, discovering a basement full of high-end bourbon, dealing with septic inspections, water witching, lost credit cards, a missing wedding ring, and a boat storage nightmare that turned into a lesson in terrible customer service.

Ted also shares a wild story about a client with a massive video game collection, plus how Omaha REIA tested direct mail with REI Print Mail and brought in new members from the campaign.

The guys also preview their upcoming interview with Dwan Twyford and talk about the REIA Mastery Series self-storage event with Fernando Angelucci.

This one has real estate, bad luck, bourbon, business lessons, nostalgia, and the kind of life chaos that makes The Kash and Dash Show what it is.

In this episode of The Kash and Dash Show, hosts Ted Kaasch and Owen Dashner sit down with Brandon Tauber for a conversation that has been five years in the making.

Brandon shares his journey from college soccer and business school at Indiana University to consulting, trading at the Chicago Board of Trade, and eventually realizing the high-pressure world of trading was no longer the life he wanted.

After years of watching markets, managing risk, and dealing with the mental grind of trading, Brandon made the move from Chicago to Omaha and started looking for his next chapter. That path eventually led him into real estate investing, house flipping, business partnerships, and private lending.

The conversation covers how Brandon met Owen after losing a deal to him, how that one phone call turned into years of business together, and what he learned from flipping houses, handling losses, working through bad deals, building trust in partnerships, and adapting when the market changed.

Ted, Owen, and Brandon also talk about brutal real estate lessons, hoarder houses, termite damage, deals that went sideways, the current flipping market, and how Liquid Lending became a major focus for Brandon and the team.

This episode is about career changes, burnout, real estate, risk, partnerships, and the kind of lessons you only learn after getting worked a few times.

In this episode of The Kash and Dash Show Unscripted, Ted Kaasch and Owen Dashner mix real-life chaos with a real business lesson.

They talk kids’ sports, pets ruining sleep schedules, camping trips, and the usual unscripted nonsense before diving into Owen’s breakdown of the three stages of investor systems: the shoebox stage, the duct tape stage, and the machine stage.

Most investors think they have a business, but really they have spreadsheets, apps, emails, Dropbox folders, and way too much stuff living in their head. Ted and Owen discuss why business owners stay stuck in the “duct tape stage” too long and how documenting, delegating, automating, and eliminating can help build something that actually runs without you.

They also touch on multifamily operations, Omaha REIA growth, and the upcoming REIA Mastery Series self-storage event with Fernando Angelucci.

In this episode of The Kash & Dash Show, Ted Kaasch and Owen Dashner sit down with Josh Kolbo, a real estate agent, investor, and creative finance operator who made the move from California back to Nebraska with his family.

Josh shares what it was like buying and selling real estate in one of the most expensive markets in the country, how California appreciation helped him reset financially, and why moving to Omaha gave his family a completely different lifestyle.

The conversation gets into house hacking, Airbnb, creative finance, SubTo, seller finance, wholesaling, and what it looks like to help sellers who are dealing with foreclosure, low equity, or tough financial situations.

Josh also talks about starting a new real estate community in Omaha, becoming the local SUBTO connection, hosting Pace Morby in Nebraska, and why building relationships in person still matters.

This episode is not just about deals. It is about family, risk, faith, starting over, and figuring out how to build a real estate business that actually fits your life.

If you are interested in creative finance, moving markets, building community, or learning how investors solve problems beyond traditional listings, this is a good one.

Watch, listen, subscribe, and share this episode with someone who is trying to build something new.

In this episode of The Kash and Dash Show Unscripted, hosts Ted Kaasch and Owen Dashner kick things off with a hilarious story about Ted finally meeting Owen’s dad — and realizing he might actually be the coolest Dashner in the room.

From there, Ted and Owen share their wins for the week. Ted talks about coaching his daughter’s volleyball team and the pride that comes with watching kids grow, listen, and improve. Owen shares a small but satisfying win involving his daughter’s car battery problem finally getting solved after way too much frustration.

Then the conversation shifts into the real chaos of life and business.

Ted gives an update on his self-serve car wash, including broken systems, concrete problems, heated floor concerns, and the idea of turning extra space into a laundromat, ad space, or even a new revenue stream. Owen breaks down the madness of youth sports scheduling, with his daughter potentially playing across multiple softball teams and a summer calendar that basically says, “Good luck having a life.”

They also dig into a real estate situation involving a missed security deposit after closing and the frustration of dealing with an agent who didn’t step up when the issue surfaced months later.

The episode wraps with a practical Dash of Wisdom: if you are refinancing debt, don’t skip your current small or community bank. Give them a chance to compete before moving your loan elsewhere. That relationship may matter more than you think.

In this episode of The Kash & Dash Show, hosts Ted Kaasch and Owen Dashner sit down with Jeff Charlton, founder of REI Print Mail, to talk about why direct mail is still one of the most powerful marketing tools in real estate.

Jeff has been an entrepreneur since he was 14, built a major direct mail and printing company, and has bought 27 companies over the last 25 years. But this episode is not just about postcards and mailers. It is about marketing, business, follow-up, execution, and why so many investors are quietly losing deals before they ever get a real shot at them.

Jeff breaks down why most direct mail campaigns fail, why cheap lists can cost you more money in the long run, and why investors need to stop treating mail like a one-time lottery ticket. He also explains why direct mail has a “tail,” meaning a mail piece can bring in leads months or even years after it was sent. Ted shares a real example of landing a 14-unit deal from a letter that had been sitting in a drawer for years.

Want to learn more from Jeff Charlton?

Jeff will be speaking live at Omaha REIA on June 2nd. If you are local, come join us in person. If you are outside Omaha, watch the live stream on The Kash & Dash Show YouTube channel.

Jeff and his team also offer a free 15-minute call to help investors review their market, talk through direct mail strategy, and figure out where the opportunity may be.

If you are a real estate investor, business owner, wholesaler, flipper, agent, or entrepreneur trying to generate better leads, this episode is worth the listen.
