The Real Way to Make Money in Real Estate—Emil Khordorkovsky
On this episode of The Truth Hurts Show, Brian Goldstein and Makan sit down with Emil Khordorkovsky—a real estate investor and lender behind over $700 million in deals. They dive into the real reasons most deals fall apart, the problems with switching asset classes, and why out-of-state investing often doesn’t pencil the way people think it will.Emil shares hard-earned lessons from two decades in the game, including what makes a deal actually work, why so many online real estate gurus are full of it, and how tax strategies like depreciation really play out in practice. No hype—just real talk from someone who's seen the good, the bad, and the expensive mistakes.Emil's Links:Website: https://www.forbix.com/investmentFollow US!YouTube: @TruthHurtsShow Brian's LinksInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/briangoldphdTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@briangoldphdMakan's Links Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/makan_mostafaviTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@makanmostafaviTimestamps: 0:00 Welcome Emil!02:47 Emil's Journey into Real Estate04:17 Challenges and Successes in Real Estate08:36 Advice for Aspiring Real Estate Investors09:41 Comparing Real Estate to Combat11:55 The Reality of Real Estate Investments15:05 Navigating Real Estate Financing25:58 Out-of-State Real Estate Investments32:00 Unexpected Construction Costs32:24 Dealing with Plan Discrepancies33:06 Real Estate Investment Realities33:49 Navigating Market Uncertainty34:34 Advising Clients in a Volatile Market36:11 Understanding Depreciation46:16 The Importance of a Strong Network50:33 Hobbies and Personal Stories54:55 Real Estate Lending Insights58:51 Work With EmilHosted by Ausha.

In this powerhouse episode of The Truth Hurts Show, hosts Brian and Makan sit down with Jonathan, a no-BS couples therapist who left behind a typical life in Canada to travel the world and now lives in Panama. What starts as a lighthearted intro turns into one of the most eye-opening conversations on modern relationships, sex, marriage, cheating, emotional responsibility, masculinity, and the psychology behind why couples fall apart—or stay together.From red flags in social media behavior to how often you should be having sex, this episode pulls no punches. Jonathan shares wisdom from over a decade of experience, and the guys go deep into cultural trends, OnlyFans, divorce rates, and whether men are “built different” in 2025. This is not your average relationship talk. Raw, funny, and brutally real—just how Truth Hurts does it.Jonathan's Links:Website: https://stan.store/relationshipswithjonathan/p/discovery-call-30-mins?fbclid=PAQ0xDSwLRAe1leHRuA2FlbQIxMAABp2o4OZsFZYGzTq_YaINW95pDEb3J6hnKiBJm4vHFtu73apYtvCk9NUt2QpiR_aem_6mPptBtrGqFCbtOXtsG-UQFollow US!YouTube: @TruthHurtsShow Brian's LinksInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/briangoldphdTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@briangoldphdMakan's Links Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/makan_mostafaviTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@makanmostafaviTimestamps: 0:00 Welcome Jonathan!01:51 Jonathan's Journey to Panama 05:51 Life as a Digital Nomad 06:54 The Dynamics of Cheating in Relationships 10:47 The Importance of Physical Intimacy 14:55 Challenges in Modern Relationships 23:51 Respect and Loyalty in Relationships 33:36 Social Media and Relationship Red Flags 41:55 The Emotional Impact of Online Relationships 43:01 The Business Behind OnlyFans 43:13 Intentions and Fantasies in Online Interactions 43:57 The Evolution of Internet and Porn Consumption 44:57 The Role of OnlyFans in Modern Relationships 47:31 The Cost of Sex and Relationships 51:31 The Importance of Self-Reflection in Relationships 52:44 Choosing the Right Partner 54:35 The Value of Marriage and Commitment 1:04:39 Cultural Perspectives on Prostitution 1:06:36 Short-Term vs. Long-Term Relationships 1:13:34 Men's Self-Soothing Behaviors and Relationship Dynamics 1:18:02 Advice for Couples in Rough PatchesHosted by Ausha.
