"CLARITY OVER NOISE."
Thursday at the BA Q3 Summit delivered pure strategy and actionable takeaways from morning to night at The Ritz-Carlton, Las Colinas.
We kicked off the day with high-impact keynotes from @CherylSnapp Conner and Jerry Conti, unpacked valuable perspective in Marco Lopez’s talk on Creating Clarity, and gained deep-dive insights across our packed schedule of Advisor Spotlights.
From morning scripture study and coffee on the patio to non-stop recordings inside the podcast studio, today was all about sharpening our focus and strengthening community ties.
The energy in Dallas is unmatched! 👊

⚡ WEDNESDAY WAS NEXT-LEVEL AT BA Q3!
We kicked off the day on the Lantana Patio with Dr. Calm, hit the podcast studio, and went straight into heavy-hitting keynotes from Brian McNally, Matt Chang, Dr. Patty Ann, and Rey Perez.
By the afternoon, the real work was happening inside our BA Boards where real numbers, raw feedback, and high-stakes business strategy took center stage.
And because work hard, play hard is in our DNA, we wrapped the entire day under the Texas sky at The Terrace for our Exclusive BA VIP Party.
Swipe to see what happens when the best minds in business collaborate all day and celebrate all night. 🥂

📣 Calling all New York metro founders, CEOs, investors, advisors, and growth-minded business leaders!
On Thursday, July 16th, Board of Advisors is coming to Long Island for BA.X New York 2026!
The most valuable capital in business isn't financial capital. It's relationship capital. 🤝
Over the years, we've learned that business growth rarely comes from another tactic, another platform, or another piece of software. More often, it comes from a single conversation. The right introduction. The right partnership.
Hosted by BA Member & New York Ambassador Rhonda Klch at Drake Studios in Melville, NY, this is an exclusive full-day boardroom experience designed specifically for leaders who want to scale without multiplying dysfunction.
We are bringing together a powerhouse room alongside world-class keynote speakers:
🎙️ David Meltzer – Chairman of the Napoleon Hill Institute, legendary investor, and former CEO of Leigh Steinberg Sports & Entertainment (the inspiration behind *Jerry Maguire*).
🎙️ Stephen Scoggins – Multi-state serial entrepreneur, MentorBox Mentor, and master of enterprise scaling frameworks.
No crowded expo halls. No endless sales pitches. Just an exceptional room of leaders sharing ideas, opportunities, and strategic capital.
Date: Thursday, July 16, 2026
Time: 9:00 AM – 4:00 PM (Plus an exclusive VIP Evening from 5 PM – 8 PM)

🎙️ NEW PODCAST DROP — Real Estate Strategy that Works | Jason Matthews & Leo Climaco | BA EP 159
“If you are relying strictly on data screen-scraping to understand a market, you are losing. Lenders tell me Florida is down while Bill Gates is dropping $5 billion in downtown Tampa. Get out of your chair, walk the pavement, talk to the neighbors, and follow the public infrastructure money.”
Your host Leo Climaco sits down at the Ritz Carlton in Dallas with 30-year real estate investment and development vanguard Jason Matthews. Fresh into the #BAcommunity, Jason delivers a masterclass on navigating shifting local economies, building a luxury short-term rental ecosystem, and passing on unshakeable wealth—and work ethic—to the next generation.
Inside This Episode:
🔹Data vs. Pavement Reality: Why massive tech suites are constantly misreading thriving markets like Florida. Jason details the multi-billion dollar institutional capital booms in St. Pete, Orlando, and Tampa that spreadsheets are missing.
🔹The Driven-by-Dollars Blueprint: The exact indicators Jason looks for by physically walking communities, sizing up local "fabric," and leveraging single-family custom home turnarounds.
🔹The No-Employee Growth Model: How Jason and his wife, Jules, scaled a massive 43-property luxury short-term rental portfolio without a single standard W-2 manager—building an ecosystem of invested, sovereign business owners.
🔹The Multi-Block Domination Strategy: Inside Jason’s geographic concentration model in Redington Beach, grouping massive 4,000 sq. ft. luxury properties to command high-ticket group bookings (corporate retreats, family reunions).
🔹Curing the Success Resentment: A powerful look at how baby boomer founders accidentally push their children away by forcing them to compete with the business, and the formula Jason used to build a unified, high-performing family squad.

MEET THE BOARD
BA Advisor: Jason Matthews
Company: 16 Redington Development LLC
BECOMING A MOGUL: FROM ELITE ATHLETICS TO REAL ESTATE DOMINANCE
"You learn how to deal with adversity. You learn how to manage situations where things are not fair and still perform."
When it comes to scaling with speed, precision, and zero friction, Chairman Advisor Jason Matthews sets the standard. At his very first Board of Advisors event, Jason completely productized his luxury short-term rental model, generating a staggering $1.8 million in sales in the room while aligning with a $200 million exit partner. That historic momentum instantly solidified his status as a Chairman-level leader within our braintrust.
Jason's transition from an elite Division 1 and overseas basketball career to high finance and real estate development is a masterclass in mental toughness. Through 16 Redington Development LLC, he builds purpose-driven, large-format luxury beach homes engineered specifically for high-yield group bookings, weddings, and corporate events.
In this special edition of the BA Magazine, Jason shares how his background in sports and economics shaped his disciplined real estate strategies—and how his ventures are funding a deeper mission to build a state-of-the-art basketball training facility and create opportunities for children with autism.

As an entrepreneur, almost no one knows what you're going through. It's such a unique lifestyle that trying to relate to people with a 9-5 can feel tough, and that can feel isolating. The best way to avoid that isolation is to be a part of a community of like-minded entrepreneurs who want to come together and help each other win.
Carl Gould is an incredible long-time BA Advisor with a deep understanding of what it means to be an entrepreneur. In this clip from the BA Podcast, Carl and Mike C-Roc talk about the power of having a community of entrepreneurs around you who can understand what you're going through and help you excel through it. That is the power of the BA community!
When you surround yourself with the right people, the weight of leadership gets lighter.
The full podcast with @carlgould & @mikeycroc is COMING SOON on YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music & more!

🎙️ NEW PODCAST DROP — Building the NASCAR Dream | Randy Hill & @MikeCalhoun | BA EP 154
“Whatever you do, don’t ever give up. You understand me? Don’t ever give up.” — Richard Petty
Mike Calhoun sits down with Randy Hill—a visionary entrepreneur whose journey spans from revolutionizing the peanut industry to building a NASCAR team from scratch in just seven weeks.
Randy’s story is a masterclass in the power of relationships and the "Midas touch" of a relentless entrepreneur. Whether he was inventing patented trailer floors for GE Capital or pitching 50 episodes of a docu-series to NBC, Randy proves that "anything is possible" when you refuse to let isolation or hurdles stop your momentum.
Inside This Episode:
🔹Working for Peanuts: How a chance request for a "hundred trailers" led Randy to hire an engineer, secure a patent, and sell 7,000 trailers that revolutionized global peanut drying.
🔹The Seven-Week NASCAR Sprint: The high-octane story of how Randy went from having zero racing knowledge to standing on pit row with a fully functioning team and a major TV deal.
🔹Lunch with "The King": Randy shares the surreal moment he ate hot dogs with Richard Petty at Daytona and received the six words that define his life: “Whatever you do, don’t ever give up.”
🔹The Good Times Evolution: Discover the history of Good Times Vans, a Dallas-born legend, and how Randy is bringing the iconic brand back for a new generation of adventurers.
🔹The Antidote to Isolation: Why rubbing elbows with fellow entrepreneurs at BA is the critical "DNA fuel" needed to overcome the setbacks of the last few years.

“Failure is one of the best teachers you can have. No amount of money can buy the learning experience of a bias for action and a willingness to fail forward.”
Whether it’s rock climbing, firefighting, starting a business, or investing, the only way to get outsized results in life is to develop a bias for action and learn to fail forward. Real growth happens when you stop fearing failure and start embracing a "fail forward" mindset.
In this clip from the BA Podcast, Hunter Lott discusses how true confidence isn't something you're born with; it's something you earn through repetition and resilience.
You don't need more money to succeed; you need more reps.
The full podcast with Hunter Lott & @leoclimaco360 is COMING SOON on YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music & more!
