Reena loves a story, and she‘s fascinated by the people behind them. She loves to bring stories to life. Her appetite for storytelling has taken her from the Jerry Springer Show to the legal drama of the courtroom. From influential players to reality stars, nothing is censored here. Reena interviews people whose stories haven‘t been told, at least not through her unique lens, and then gets daddy‘s advice afterward like a good daughter does. Whether you have daddy issues or a father who‘s inspired your path, you will be able to tap into my daddy‘s wisdom, wit, and humor at the end of every episode. My daddy has been a guiding light my whole life and there‘s not much he doesn‘t know, as an entrepreneur for forty-plus years, a husband, a loyal son, and my number one supporter. He has learned lots of life lessons along the way and is here to share them with you. It‘s time to reminisce and reflect on the conversations you‘d like to have with your daddy and learn from mine. Come share in some good old-fashioned family bonding and help us up our wisdom rating. There is wisdom from four generations and I’m addressing what happens from childhood to adulthood!

356. At 16, Deven Wohlwend Owns 46 Units: Secrets to Early Success
Wednesday Mar 06, 2024
Wednesday Mar 06, 2024
Absolutely everything is possible, and it can genuinely happen at any stage of life. Can an average individual, when exposed to sports, entrepreneurship, or business education, grasp these concepts? If one finds pleasure in these pursuits, they can craft an exciting future. Age should never be a barrier; you're never too young to start.
At just 16 years old, Deven Wohlwend is not your average teenager. He's already an accomplished author of three books, a savvy real estate investor owning 46 units and running a management company than runs 450, and has a deep passion for educating his peers on business and investing.
Deven's journey began with early lessons in stock investments influenced by his parents, and fun games like Lego investing, which taught him as much about losses as gains. Despite his business acumen, Deven knows the value of enjoying youth, balancing professionalism with times to just be a kid.
In this episode, we talk about how Deven juggles high-level investing with homework, sports, and lifeguarding.
We'll explore the challenges of teaching financial wisdom to the TikTok generation, Deven's take on AI in content creation, and the impact of family values on building a real estate empire. Plus, Deven shares a humorous take on Chat GPT endorsements and gives us a sneak peek into his future plans.
Whether you're tuning in from Apple Podcasts, Google Play, Spotify, or any other platform, remember to like, subscribe, and share. Want an extra dose of inspiration?
Head over to our YouTube channel for special episodes. Now, let's connect the generations and get ready to be amazed by the young yet prodigious Deven Wohlwend. It's time to Better Call Daddy!
The Wohlwend’s, after starting with nothing, used millions of dollars of private money
from more than 100 private lenders to finance their real estate deals. As their two boys grew up they were taught the business. By 5 each son started investing; by 7 years old they had each bought their 1st piece of real estate using only creative financing; the lessons they learned.
Their kids, Deven, now 16 controls over 46 units; Ethan, who is currently 13, has
almost 40 units. Neither used any money or credit from their parents. They did what the whole family teaches. They were creative and took action. In addition to working in the business and investing, Deven published his first book when he was 11. He has been interviewed on many podcasts that have been listened to in more than 190 countries; has spoken to live audiences in more than half a dozen states. Deven is the #1 Best-Selling Author of The Garage and If I Can Do It So Can You-How I Started Buying Real Estate at Age 7. The 2nd Book in his Garage series The Fall And Rise of Atlas is now available on Amazon.
Key Takeaways:
- Age is just a number: Deven's story proves it's never too early to start learning and investing in your future.
- The power of family: A supportive and educational family environment can be a tremendous asset on the road to success.
- Balance is crucial: Even when you're ambitiously pursuing success, it's important to remember the value of fun and personal fulfillment in your life and work.

Wednesday Feb 21, 2024
Ever wondered how authors conjure up the worlds that enthrall us?
Today, we have the pleasure of welcoming Ann Diament Koffsky, an award-winning author and illustrator, who brings a wealth of experience and heartfelt stories.
From teaching art in a bomb shelter in Israel to confronting the omission of women's faces in ultra-orthodox media, Anne's journey is as inspiring as it is impactful.
In today's conversation, Anne peels back the layers of her creative process, influenced by her roles as a teacher and a parent, and shares her approach to embedding valuable lessons into her books. We'll also delve into her American Jewish family's story of achieving the dream across generations, her rally against anti-Semitism, and her efforts to give back to the community.
Anne's relatable struggle with her creative muse during tough times, her gratitude for parental support, and her mission to preserve legacies through storytelling promise to resonate with many of our listeners. We'll also uncover how Anne instills Jewish pride and strength within her work, amidst discussions of current geopolitical issues and generational trauma.
So, let's dive in and learn from Anne's journey of nurturing creativity, facing adversity head-on, and the importance of crafting stories that speak to both the young and young at heart. Get ready, dads, daughters, and everybody in between – it's time to Better Call Daddy!
Ann Diament Koffsky is the award winning author and illustrator of more than forty picture books for children. Her newest book, “Ping Pong Shabbat” will be out in 2024 from Little Bee Books, and is the story of Ping Pong champion Estee Ackerman, who chose to not play on Shabbat.
