Beth O’Brien didn’t just step into the mortgage industry — she redefined it.

In this episode of Between 2 Hats LFG, we sit down with the powerhouse herself — Beth O’Brien, Founder & CEO of Encore Finance, and one of the most influential women in real estate finance. With over $20 billion in transactions under her belt and a legacy that spans Goldman Sachs, Citigroup, Auction.com, and CoreVest, Beth breaks down the mindset, grit, and moves that built her empire.

We dive into her transition from Wall Street to real estate, how she became a pioneer in the SFR (Single-Family Rental) finance world, and why new generations are shifting toward renting. Beth also shares unfiltered insights on the mortgage industry, capital markets, and what it takes to lead with power in a male-dominated space.

From law school to loan strategies, she’s done it all — and she’s not slowing down.

This episode is for the builders, the risk-takers, and anyone who’s ready to learn from one of the most badass leaders in the game.

In this episode of Between 2 Hats LFG, we sit down with Trish Beeman, powerhouse behind The Beeman Group, to dive into her unexpected shift from journalism to real estate — and how a family decision turned into a legacy.

📺 She covered some of the world’s most shocking moments — including 9/11 — from inside the control room. But Trish walked away from the spotlight to build something bigger: a career in the SFR industry.

💼 Her husband introduced her to real estate. She said no — until she realized she could own it. Now, Trish is one of the most driven women in the SFR world, combining business smarts with a sharp eye for data.

But this episode goes way deeper.

🕯️ Trish shares the deathbed confession that changed how she saw her entire family — her grandfather revealed they were Jewish refugees, who fled Nazi Germany for a better life in the U.S.

It’s emotional. It’s real. It’s everything this show is about.

If you're into business talk, resilience, and raw truth from women in business, this one hits different.

In this episode of Between 2 Hats LFG, we sit down with Amanda Blackmon — a true pioneer and powerhouse in the SFR industry.
Let’s be real: Amanda Blackmon didn’t follow the rules — she rewrote them.

She walked away from a decade in multi-family to take a shot at the SFR industry when no one even knew what it was. Her boss told her she was crazy. He said she’d fail.
He was dead wrong.

Today, Amanda is a certified powerhouse, a trailblazer, and one of the most respected women in the SFR world. And she’s just getting started.

This episode hits hard — we talk about breaking barriers, leading with boldness, and owning your lane in a male-dominated space. Amanda’s not here to play it safe, and neither should you.

She opens up about the wins that shaped her — like becoming a billiards champion 🎱 in 2013 — and the things that keep her grounded (spoiler: she’s a fan of Will Ferrell movies 😂).
She’s real. She’s approachable. And she’s not hiding any of it.

Whether you’re just stepping into real estate or you’ve been in the game for years, this is the kind of episode that’ll punch you in the gut—in the best way possible.

Listen up. Take notes. Then go make your move.

Shut up and listen. Seriously.

In this episode of Between 2 Hats, Patrick and Phillip break down a skill most people think they have—but don’t: listening. Too many people walk into a room and start talking without actually paying attention to what’s happening around them. Big mistake.

The real pros? They know the power of reading the room.
👀 Watch body language.
👂 Listen—not just to words, but to what’s left unsaid.
⚡ Feel the energy in the space.

Then—and only then—do you speak. That’s how you earn respect, build real connections, and actually say something that matters.
