Anna (00:00)
Yeah, so first one, name the truth. What the fuck happened? What the fuck did I do? Two, take accountability. How did I get there? You have to really look at the reality of fact. With my slide with investors, the predators of emotions, you just have to face it. Because people with me will fuck around and find out. It’s way much better. It’s way different. feel like I’ve grown and life is so much better. And then three…I would write a list, right? So for Robert Herjavec, his golden thing is he three, like four movie in actions in the morning. Hey, what do I got to do today? And I got to get those done. For me, I do brain dumps. So I just kind of write down every, I have like my little library color code of just everything in my notes. The thing is like when people, when these companies, employees conspire, they like, it’s always the ATVs, right? And that’s why there’s all these little like mini house fires, right? And like, I feel like a lot of my day is just like blowing out like watering.
Dylan Silver (02:29)
Hey folks, welcome back to the show. Today’s guest, Anna Maria Morgan is a Catholic missionary planning a number of books and is also passionate about how to better people’s lives through financial and emotional means and strategies that can make them successful. She’s also pursuing a law degree. Anna, Maria, welcome to the show. ⁓Anna (02:53)
thank you for havingme. I’m very excited to be here.
Dylan Silver (02:56)
Thank you for coming on here. I always like to start off at the top of the show by asking guests how they got into the space that you’re in. You’re involved in a number of unique segments here. You’ve got the missionary work, you’ve got the financial and really life success planning. You’re also pursuing a law degree. Where do we start?Anna (03:19)
I think we started at beginning. I grew up in a very small rural town where there’s only one gas station, one grocery shop. It’s on the mountaintop. for that, I just fortified my way to get into school. So I took a traumatic event in high school and wrote a song about it. That’s how I got my scholarship.and ⁓ acceptance in Seton Hall. And so I don’t know, each kind of way that I’ve been put through adversity in life is I’ve used arts, legal matters, and financial ways to inevitably create solutions that like diversify my market, expand my professional network, and just kind of be like, yep, that’s Anna Maria.
Dylan Silver (03:58)
I want to ask you specifically, when we talk about going into, let’s use the single family space as an example, and I know this isn’t the space that you come from, but interacting with so many people across so many different walks of life, if you’re going into someone’s home, maybe they’re facing financial distress, and you’re looking at ⁓ making a connection with this person to where they can trust you to purchase their home and then also help them potentially avoid, let’s say, a foreclosure.Anna (04:15)
Yeah.Dylan Silver (04:25)
I know this is maybe a different situation than you would encounter day to day, but what broad scope advice can you give for folks when you may be handling a delicate situation like financial distress?Anna (04:37)
no, have no money. The hospitals came after my dead dog in my car and they went after B.C.U. What I would do is I understand that people have resources. There’s a way out in having self-ethicacy. The biggest thing is have to know that you deserve good things. Regardless of what happens, you have to see the acceptance of the man when a world persecutes him.And so understanding that there’s newality in the law, so the Consumer Financial Protection Board, And regardless of what Tesla and Elon and all these companies do is that a citizen has a right, has a protection, has remedies, has recourse, objective, and declarative rights, all these things that people don’t realize that they have.
And so for example, foreclosures is you can do remediation letters. You can send out your, you can get like wiped out debt, like sending it to Equifax, meaning like, hey, do these records match? Yes, no, I do. You have to have discernment, right? These companies, like these targeted cookies and all these things target these people and they give these like misinformation, right? Like I full stress do not 100 % rely on ChatTP. is a repicy for disaster. You have to.
Like have independence in mind, fact, you have to reach out people, you have to talk to like directly people, like know your network. And I think that’s when you’re struggling and distress is like, so for example, like my biological father, cause like I’m an orphan by choice is that they like one of his friends from college like gave him, I think it was like $15,000 to like, cause they were going to lose their home, right? And so it’s like understanding is that like when you have friends that support network, like that’s what like you can do.
Or and they did like an equity loan that was like $37,000, right? And so I think it’s really relying. And that’s why when I tone on relationships are so important is that like they can help you get through life, right? And I don’t know. Yeah. So I think it’s like understanding those alternative investments. like, you know, reaching out in different, not just like only like doing purchasing stock or only doing single family home is like is doing different like types of stuff. So like, I don’t know, there’s a lot of resources like
For example, for blind and deaf hearing, we have Be My Eyes or a 7-1-1 where it’s a switchboard where they’ll go on companies. I think that’s really important is that companies will be on the app and they’ll have their support team that were just for that demographic. And I think when you hone your target market, that’s where it’s like, instead of being a mountain where you just don’t know when you’re going to get up there to see the view, it’s like, okay, well, no, it’s actually only 10 steps. It’s only 20 steps, it’s only 30 steps. You just keep going until you get there.
Dylan Silver (07:59)
That’s great.I want to pivot a little bit and ask you maybe in granular detail some of the strategies that folks can do to help themselves out when they may be going through a devastating financial situation, they’re realizing, hey, I’m super behind on my bills, I’m facing legal jeopardy of some kind, legal action, or losing my home.
What advice would you give folks where they can maybe pull themselves up by their bootstraps and they’re realizing, okay, I messed up. How do I get myself back on my feet?
Anna (08:36)
Yeah, so first one, name the truth. What the fuck happened? What the fuck did I do? Two, take accountability. How did I get there? You have to really look at the reality of fact. With my slide with investors, the predators of emotions, you just have to face it. Because people with me will fuck around and find out. It’s way much better. It’s way different. feel like I’ve grown and life is so much better. And then three…I would write a list, right? So for Robert Herjavec, his golden thing is he three, like four movie in actions in the morning. Hey, what do I got to do today? And I got to get those done. For me, I do brain dumps. So I just kind of write down every, I have like my little library color code of just everything in my notes. The thing is like when people, when these companies, employees conspire, they like, it’s always the ATVs, right? And that’s why there’s all these little like mini house fires, right? And like, I feel like a lot of my day is just like blowing out like watering.
firehouses and so I think that’s why privacy is so important. then, okay, and then I would say the fourth one is go to therapy. Five, take a breather. And three, that it’s no, that’s gonna be okay. Like one of the things I repeat to myself is I’ve been here before, like I survived yesterday, I’m gonna survive tomorrow, right? Like I have to brain seizure by myself. Like, I mean, I have my friends, family, that, but I feel alone because I don’t have the one person I want there and that’s really fucking hard. It’s really hard.
Dylan Silver (09:59)
Yeah.Anna (10:35)
And it’s so hard is yeah, so you know and understanding that like it’s gonna be okay and I think that’s when you have those emotional regulation tools and that like Just support to understand the situation and then I think two is you have to have trust and reliance on this system, right? It’s not like a helplessness or being like ⁓ help me like everything’s gonna be okay No, like it is responsibility of the person to fix their life and it’s like, you know If you don’t that’s on them, right? Like all these people they’re like, ⁓me it’s like well tough shit right like I’ve never taken a payout I don’t take pity like and look where I’m going is like that’s where like I’ve you know pushed and pushed and pushed and I’m the girl that never gave up right and when you do that you just like that’s how you inspire and motivate people is like there’s always a way out like I one of my tattoos is well have a couple so one’s like an elvish that’s like in elvish language because I’m a huge Lord the Rings fan it’s like you are enough
and it’s like in all these stories is that like it’s an amended like it’s a special one right here where it’s like you have an efficacy like no matter what happens to you in life you have enough like a responsibility to fix yourself and heal yourself and when you take that upon yourself and like that’s how you really build integrity and self-respect and just confidence yourself because like you know that’s what’s hardest is our we’re our worst enemies and it doesn’t there’s
There’s so many outliers and so many other things that can affect your life, but when you really go to granular response being like, okay, what’s one step a day that I can do today? That’s one thing like making your bed or getting breakfast or just one thing at a time. That’s how you really get out of depression and anxiety and OCD and all these things that we struggle with. And I think when you just like feel your feelings and you validate them, that is like so important, especially for trauma healing.
you know, interfamily dynamics, you know, all these things, right? So.
Dylan Silver (12:28)
I want to ask you specifically, know, interfamily dynamics. When we talk about real estate specifically, in so many cases, it might be divorce, it might be a death in the family, it might be, you know, a probate issue. when we talk about, you know, a property getting inherited, and maybe it’s in disrepair, people might not even be aware that they have this property coming to them, or they may be, but they may be unaware thatIt’s actually a type of joint ownership between several people. And so oftentimes we see in families.
Kind of infighting over well, what happens now? How do we settle this estate? You know when? Folks are encountering difficulties of that nature right something is sprung on them that they may not have the experience or the bandwidth to deal with How can you you know cope with all the moving pieces? But also other people who are involved as well who may be thrust into this with you?
Anna (13:24)
Yeah, so interfamily connected system, just like conomalibial therapy and EMD and all these therapy tools is that they’re naming the emotions like EMDR.And so in the bilateral simulation, like it’s a bilateral simulation and you can actually get this on Spotify ⁓ where you can like navigate this issue. So for inter-family, family connect, sorry, inter connected family systems, it’s all about phytophytors, like coolers and all these different like emergency response. So we have these, you know, stressors, inflammatory markers, like ⁓ alpha blockers and all these things. They go to the root.
problem of the cells, right? And so they respond, right? And it’s kind of like these things that people get thrust in the system. They’re just kind of like the alpha or the beta park, and they come be like, help is on the way, yeah, right? It’s kind of like that. And so when you, I think it’s all about is like conflict realization. Like a lot of these people invest in boards invest me, which I love, and I’m so there to help. They’re like, I would love to be in an advisory board member role, right? But like,
they’re not responsible for my life. They do not get to control my life. They don’t get to tell me like my relationships, right? I have to like, if I ever want a relationship, right? I have to have like an HR disclosure or waiver. Like I had to send PWC, I will not engage in any relationship unless the male employee wants like, will go to HR to like have something with me. Like that’s what saying is like, that’s how I’m mitigating this is boundaries, right? Knowing my worth, walking away when it does not serve me. And also to like,
Dylan Silver (14:55)
Yeah.Anna (15:42)
right? And I’m amazing person just knowing that and knowing my worth is how I’m like being able to like these like kind of it’s not even that it’s not a hierarchy because it’s like the same person but realizing that like my inner circle is really small like a lot smaller than people realize and I think when you really value and have those like trust relationships is that like, you know, I think that’s where that blindness piece of likeI really trust a person or don’t really trust or just being really honest and having those really hard, you know, sensitive topics that you really just kind of shake the man being like, this is what I expected. Like this is what I expect of you and like, I want you to be the man that you want to be and that you expect of yourself.
Dylan Silver (16:24)
Let’s bring it back to the real estate family dynamic here. So when we’re talking about ⁓ bringing people together and to use a specific example of, you know, infighting within a family, right? And let’s say someone’s getting this property. These people don’t want to sell. These people want to sell for a higher price. These people think that, you know, we are entitled to more than what we got. And maybe it’s not specifically written out in a way that can be adjudicated in the law, this type of thing.Would you advise folks, or not necessarily advise, but would you think it would be more beneficial for folks to try to sort it out amongst themselves first type of thing, or would you tell folks, no, as soon as you get involved in this type of situation, you need to reach out to an attorney and basically have the whole thing mediated?
Anna (17:09)
⁓I think every situation is very, very different. These are like pressing matters because I’m working on billion dollar deals. One, it would be negligent if you didn’t have monetary, but things are like, ⁓ yeah, anything that is ownership. For example, I’m writing my will today. I’ve been writing my will this week.
And it’s like, who’s going to get all my documents? Like, you know, I have over 2000 companies that write, right? And you know, the biggest players like,
in business, having a lot of great is really, really important. Or you know, a guy. So it’s like, have a friend who has like a boat or a pool, like
I have one, get one of those, I think that’s where it’s really important. But I mean, there’s a lot of things that a lawyer does not need to be involved in, But I think when you research those tools for yourself, I think that’s when you have that confidence to handle that situation on your own. And then when you have your host work whole-heartedly, it’s like, okay, well, I can handle this, I know how to do it. It’s like those learned experiences are repeated patterns. So for example, like courage is the neurons activity of repeating itself. And so when you have an act of courage,
Dylan Silver (18:05)
Yeah.Anna (18:25)
and you learn that step, your brain will reteach it, right? And so I wanna work with the Gates Foundation to Harvard and Stanford is basically where we’re working on curing blindness. And it’s like, we’re retraining the baby’s mind and all these people with disabled mind is how do we recreate the repeated act, right? Yeah.Dylan Silver (18:43)
I thinkeverything that you mentioned, especially the component about courage is key here because if you use a one size fits all strategy, especially with any segment of real estate, you’re probably going to come up against a break at some point in time. There’s so many other ⁓ segments of real estate, of business that I’d love to talk with you about. We are coming up on time here though, Anna Maria. Where can folks go to learn more about your work, the books that you’re involved in? How can folks…
Reach out to you.
Anna (19:14)
Yeah, yeah, so reach out to me on LinkedIn ⁓ or Instagram or TikTok or my email or call me.Dylan Silver (19:21)
