Scott Trench is CEO of BiggerPockets, co-host of the BiggerPockets Money Podcast, a real estate investor and broker, and a bestselling author. Through a solid understanding of money management, calculated risks, and a lot of hard work, he created financial freedom for himself as well as a successful real estate business just three years after graduating college. In his breakout personal finance book, Set for Life, he shares his financial expertise so others can repeat his results in just three to five years, giving them the option to go anywhere they want in the world, work any job, start any business, or finish out the journey to financial independence and retire early. Scott currently lives in Denver, Colorado and enjoys skiing, rugby, craft beers, and terrible punny jokes.
Mindy Jensen has been buying and selling homes for more than twenty years. Currently, she's working on her ninth live-in flip--she buys ugly houses, moves in, makes them beautiful, sells them, and starts the process all over again. She is a licensed real estate agent in Colorado, co-host of the BiggerPockets Money Podcast, author of How to Sell Your Home, and the Community Manager for BiggerPockets.com, where she helps new and experienced investors learn the best real estate investing techniques to build wealth. She currently owns a single-family rental, a short-term rental, a mobile home park, and a co-working space, plus she has taken part in syndications, private lending, and seller financing deals. Mindy is passionate about financial freedom, and she wants to help as many people reach this milestone as possible so they can live their best lives. When you can get her to stop talking about real estate, you can find her on her bike or adventuring in the beautiful mountains of Colorado.
