Having witnessed her immigrant parents living paycheck to paycheck, Sanchez became determined to empower marginalized people.

After witnessing the devastation of the fiscal crisis of 2008, Sanchez mastered the financial industry through the ranks of Goldman Sachs and State Street. Over the following decade, she bought, built, and invested in businesses from cannabis to laundromats. Her entrepreneurial skills and her rejection of the tried and true led to the founding of Contrarian Thinking.

Soli Cayetano
Soli Cayetano’s successful foray into real estate began during her college years. She began in office leasing at a commercial real estate firm during her second year. It was during her senior year, the year the pandemic hit, that Cayetano learned her biggest lesson. Commission-based, her income dwindled as the country shut down.
Cayetano’s goal was to find out how to build passive income streams so that if this happened again, she wouldn’t be without money coming in. She turned to the Internet for help and found Bigger Pockets and its stories of successful real estate investors.
Knowing the area where she grew up was too pricey to start, she looked to Cincinnati for her first rental property purchase. Then twenty-two, she signed her first mortgage without a co-signer thanks to her work history and having had a credit card for four years. Bought sight unseen, she flew out to do the renovations on her first property herself.
Since then, she has used the BRRR method – Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance, Repeat – to grow her real estate portfolio. She hit her goal of $100k in passive income by age twenty-six. Cayetano shares her experience and wisdom across multiple social media platforms that include Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok, and Facebook.
Rich Somers
Rich Somers walked away from a comfortable job and pension he’d held for over a decade while knowing he wouldn’t reach his full potential there. With his 401K and a new dream in his pocket, he knew he had much to learn if he was going to succeed in real estate investing and entrepreneurship.
Somers says that an entrepreneur can learn all the strategies there are, but if you don’t learn how to lead people, you will not be able to scale a company. Somers also believes mindset is a huge factor in becoming an entrepreneur.
Taking his lessons from the bestselling book Rich Dad, Poor Dad, Somers took action and implemented his plan. Shifting career goals and changing the way he thought changed his life. Somers is a CEO and founder in the real estate industry.
Financially free and in charge of his own time and when he works, Somers has set his sights on doubling his real estate investment. Somers shares his unique wisdom across social media platforms that include Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, X, YouTube, and The Rich Somers Report podcast.
Meet Kevin
Kevin Paffrath, or Meet Kevin as he is known all over the Internet, was born in Germany and moved to America as a toddler. His high school plan to become a police officer took a sharp turn, however. It was getting his real estate license during his first year in college that changed his direction.
