Bad Deals Only is a podcast about bad deals, bad decisions, and the lessons that come from them. We break down real estate deals gone wrong, business mistakes, financial missteps, and everyday decisions that cost more than they should. Each episode dives into why these deals failed, what people missed in the moment, and how to avoid making the same mistakes yourself. This podcast covers real estate investing, business strategy, money management, work culture, negotiation mistakes, and the hidden costs behind decisions that look good on paper. No gurus, no fake success stories, and no pretending hindsight is obvious. If you are interested in real estate, business, entrepreneurship, personal finance, or learning from other people’s expensive mistakes, Bad Deals Only delivers honest conversations, strong opinions, and practical takeaways. New episodes weekly.
