Hello friends, and welcome to another episode of Ask Marco on the Passive Real Estate Investing show. I'm glad you're joining me today. I have another handful of great questions for this Ask Marco episode. But first two quick things. One, just remember to subscribe if you're a new listener here or if you haven't subscribed already, it only takes you three seconds and it keeps you posted every week when we release a new episode. So other than that, I just came back from REWBCON, the Real Estate Wealth Builders Conference in Phoenix, Arizona, and it was the second rub con event. There was one last year that my friend Dustin had put together and put on and did an incredible job with. There was about 200 people last year. This year it was closer to 400, so he almost doubled the size of the attendance, which was great.

There were a lot of people there. It was a lot of fun. We had some great conversations. It was nice to meet a lot of the people who I've met in the past or just know from one place or another, or a lot of people came up to me and said, Hey, you know, I listened to your podcast, or I just started listening to your podcast. I wanted to come and meet you. Or I heard about REWBCON through you and felt that this is a good thing to do, a good place to go, a great place to learn and to meet and network with other real estate investors and like-minded people. And that's exactly what it was. So, you know, my hat's off to Dustin for doing such a great job at that event, I was there with some of my team, two of my investment counselors, and we got to meet a lot of new people as well as existing and old real estate clients that worked with us in the past, recent and long past in investing in real estate buying rental properties.

And each and every one that came up to our booth there, I asked them, I said, how are things going? How was your experience? How was your property doing? And it was great. There was nothing negative. Everybody had something good to say. So I really enjoyed my time there and after three days plus travel, I am beat. So anyway, here I am. I'm doing another podcast episode which will be released here shortly. So let me jump into some questions here. This is the first time I actually got someone to send me a question that's not investing or real estate based. It's actually more of a personal question. And I know I've been asking for some personal questions from time to time, asking you guys to send them in, you know, if and when you can. And finally, somebody did. So , this is great, and because of that, I'm actually gonna lead with this question instead of leaving it towards the end, which is what I was thinking of doing.

So the question comes in from Will and Will says, hi Marco, it was great meeting you at the Rub Con closing Fiesta, which was the party on the last day with your insanely busy schedule. I was wondering how you carve out personal time and what you do to take care of yourself and recharge. On a related note, do you have a favorite vacation spot or place to visit? Always appreciate your insights. Will, well will thank you for the question. And yes, it was great meeting you there at the event last week. So this is an interesting question. I will answer it in a couple different ways. First and foremost, with everything I have going on at least these days, but it seems like this has been going on for a number of years, I have very little personal time, which is a good and a bad thing.

It's a bad thing because it leaves me little time to actually rest and recharge. But at the same time, I really enjoy everything I'm working on and what I'm doing and the mini empire, if you will, that I'm building that impacts so many other people. And I can expand on all that and I,
