What We'd Tell Ourselves a Year Ago When We Quit Our JobsOne year ago, we did the scary thing instead of the safe thing… we both quit our 9 to 5 to chase this podcast full time. We talk about what it's really like working as a married couple, why you don't get sick days anymore, and why health has to come first even when work never stops calling.We also look back at the success we had like the brand deals with companies like Honda, Perplexity AI, and COROS, growing to 350K+ followers, marathon training, meeting people we've admired for years, and even a spot on the Today Show.Now settle in, get cozy, and grab your chai.
Send us Fan MailA household runs on clarity, not effort. So does a practice. Most performance problems in independent practices are clarity problems: somebody thought somebody else was handling it. This episode builds the RACI model (Responsible, Accountable, Consulted, Informed) into your billing workflow and your hiring. What RACI actually means. Four roles, each assigned to a person for a task, with one hard rule: never more than one Accountable person. If two people are accountable, nobody is. Mapping RACI to your practice. A denial slips through when the billing manager assumes the front desk verified eligibility and the front desk assumes the billing manager caught it at scrubbing. With RACI, every role is named and the gap disappears. An unowned weekly denial review at a $350K-a-month practice can run 3 to 5 percent above its potential clean claim rate, $10,500 to $17,500 a month lost in a gap nobody owned. Hiring into the RACI structure. Define the RACI role before the job description. A person wired to execute will struggle in an Accountable seat that requires sitting with ambiguity. That is a role mismatch, not a character flaw.Three actions this week Map the RACI for your weekly denial review (if you cannot name the Accountable person in thirty seconds, the task has no owner). Audit your current team against the RACI role definitions: right role, right wiring? Use RACI in your next hire, before you write the job description.

Hey everyone, Alex here
Dr. Angela Casey spent nearly 15 years treating skin cancer before she had her business idea. She didn't come from entrepreneurship - she came from molecular biology, medical school, residency, and a clinical practice. When the idea hit her, it was so obvious she couldn't believe nobody had done it properly. She searched every major retailer - Ulta, Sephora, Target, Walmart, Macy's - and found nothing worth recommending to her own three daughters. A Macy's assistant tried to sell her 12-year-old an anti-aging eye cream. Bright Girl was the answer to that gap, and it cost her $350,000 and three years to bring it to life. In this episode, Angela gets completely honest about what it takes to launch a product the right way from scratch - the hundreds of surveys, the thousands of patient conversations, the Covid shipping crisis that sent her costs up six times overnight, and what nearly $120,000 in packaging sitting in a warehouse actually feels like when you're still flying the plane as you build it. What you'll learn in this interview: How Angela validated Bright Girl before spending a cent - surveying hundreds of people on SurveyMonkey, questioning thousands of patients over two years, and physically visiting every major beauty retailer to confirm the gap was real Why she interviewed dozens of cosmetic chemist teams around the world before finding the right fit - and how three years of clinical research meant she only needed three rounds of formula revisions The real cost of a custom, premium launch: $50K for the first filled run, $120K when you include the 36,000 empty bottles in reserve, and $350K all in when you add branding and design What it felt like to order 40,000 bottles and jars across four SKUs in 2020 - just as Covid hit and shipping costs multiplied by six Why she spent the first year of DTC sales proving market fit before ever approaching dermatology practices as a distribution channel - and why that sequencing mattered The exact moment she knew the product had real credibility: when other dermatologists - notoriously skeptical of new skincare brands - started recommending Bright Girl not just to patients but for their own children How selling through dermatology practices built the trust that made mass retail possible - and the retailers Bright Girl is now stocked in Why Amazon, launched just over a year ago, is now growing at 10-20% month over month - and how TikTok Shop became an unpredictable but consistent additional channel The email marketing lesson from her Founder mentor that unlocked 15-20% of website revenue from a channel she had barely touched What two full-time jobs actually looks like - five days a week in clinical practice, seven days a week on Bright Girl - and the non-negotiable routines that hold it together If you're early in your journey and wondering whether your idea is good enough to back with serious money and serious time - Angela's story is a masterclass in what deep validation actually looks like before you commit. She still wants more. She's her own harshest critic. But $40K a month on a brand she built from scratch with zero business experience, while running a full medical practice, is not nothing.

Matilda får kontakt med en släkting som har flyttat utomlands. Han bjuder in henne till en grupp på Telegram Samuraibarnen där morduppdrag läggs ut. Hon ser att släktingen är drivande i det som sker i gruppen, och till slut får hon nog. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radios app. Matilda heter egentligen någonting annat. Nu väljer hon att berätta om vad som fick henne att göra det som för många är helt otänkbart – att anmäla sin släkting, en 29-årig man, till polisen och samarbeta i utredningen.– Det är inte bara att att han lägger upp annonser som han sa till mig, det är liksom att han faktiskt är involverad, berättar Matilda.Enligt polisen går släktingen under aliaset ”Samurai Z” som har en drivande roll i Telegramgruppen ”Samuraibarnen” under våren och sommaren 2024. Det var en av de första och största grupperna för jobbannonser om grova våldsbrott. I många fall var det ungdomar som tog uppdrag mot betalning i Sverige och Danmark. När den stängdes ned i september 2024 hade den nästan 11 000 medlemmar.– Det är nästan lite gigekonomi över annonserna. Det kunde vara till exempel: ”Stockholm – jappning 350K. Allt som behövs är bara en klivare med cojones”, det kan vara en annons. Eller så har vi ännu mer uppenbart insäljande: ”Just nu har vi Danmark – 500 k, skjuta mot skallen 500”, berättar Andreas Wulff, chef för polisens aktionsgrupp i Malmö.I ett fall som kopplas till gruppen sköt en 13-årig pojke en 24-åring i benen i Malmö. Det mordförsöket är ett av två brott som släktingen dömdes till 14 år och 10 månaders fängelse för förra veckan. Han har nekat till brott och kommer att överklaga domen.Det var med dubbla känslor som Matilda tog emot domen.– Men hellre lever jag med det här, att jag har gjort det här och sagt det jag sagt än att leva hela livet med att jag hade så mycket att säga och kunde ha fått rättvisa men inte vågat. Det känns som att det nästan hade varit jobbigare.I avsnittet medverkar också Theodor Smedius, polisintendent på nationella operativa avdelningen och Måns Christensson som är släktingens advokat.Programledare: Petra Berggren och Linus LindahlLjud: Fredrik Nilsson Producent: Linus LindahlKontakt: p3krim@sverigesradio.seTipstelefon: 0734-61 29 15 (samma på Signal)

In this episode of the Income Flip Podcast, Bob Bernotas shares his journey from being a college athlete with no clear direction to stumbling into franchising in the 1980s, where he scraped together the resources to buy his first West Coast Video franchise. Bob breaks down how franchising gave him a structured roadmap compared to independent businesses, allowing him to scale with more predictability and less trial-and-error. He highlights the power of recurring-revenue, membership-based models—particularly in the modern men's health space—where a single investment of around $350K scaled into six-figure monthly revenue with strong margins and a projected multi-million-dollar valuation. He also contrasts business ownership with linear income, explaining why well-structured franchise systems can create far greater leverage, scalability, and wealth-building potential than traditional income models.
247 Sports High School scouting director Andrew Ivins assesses the latest recruiting news. Chuck and Heath discuss On3's report than 350K is the minimum schools are having to spend for a low 4 star player this recruiting class. On3 national CFB reporter Wilson Alexander reveals some of the names QBs told him fans should keep an eye on as breakout candidates at their schools this season.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Zach and Kevin welcome back special guest Meylinda, as they kick things off with some hilariously relatable (and occasionally creepy) bad neighbor stories. The conversation then shifts to the front lines of dental education, diving into the post-COVID realities of dental school, the controversial shift to pass/fail and typodont-based board exams, skyrocketing tuition costs, and the critical decline of clinical "reps" for incoming graduates.

In this live call-in episode of Stay Paid, Josh, Luke, and Stephen answer real questions from real estate professionals across the country. Lainie (Texas) leads a 35-agent team doing $85M and wants to know: does the future belong to boutique brokerages or large-scale recruiting operations? Luke and Stephen break down why she may be stuck in the "messy middle" — and what her two options actually are. Lisa is a solo luxury agent doing 30+ transactions and $350K/year entirely on referrals — and she wants to scale strategically without chaos or burnout. Luke and Stephen walk her through how to audit her lead sources, delegate smartly, and fix one thing at a time. Beth has two businesses — real estate and a professional document service — and asks how to cross-market them to the same client base. Luke explains the concept of trigger events in a buyer's journey and how to use them to introduce a second service naturally. Whether you're managing a team, flying solo, or juggling more than one business, this episode has something for you.
Send us Fan MailShow notes A physician built a solid, growing independent practice over six years, then got bored with the pace and chased three new ideas at once. None launched. The original practice still lost an estimated $180,000 in revenue degradation over twelve months, not from a bad decision, but from the boring work quietly going undone. This episode is the framework for staying in the room with it. The compounding cost of distraction. The revenue cycle does not tolerate divided attention. When leadership focus drifts, performance does not collapse, it leaks. A $350K-a-month practice that drifts for six months can lose $84,000 in net collections that never gets recovered. The shiny idea did not cost the money. The distraction did. The patience advantage. A boring denial-rate fix that recovers $8,000 to $12,000 a month compounds every month forward. A new service line that might add $5,000 a month creates complexity with no compounding. Patient money picks the boring fix every time. The boredom threshold. James Clear calls boredom the greatest threat to success. When the practice is working, the work stops feeling like progress and starts feeling like maintenance. The reframe: the boring work is not maintenance, it is compounding. The Five Shiny Objects That Cost Practices the Most The Shiny Object Adding a second location before ops are solid Switching EMR mid-growth Launching a new service line Hiring aggressively before systems exist Chasing a new payer vertical What It Feels Like Growth and scale Modernizing and streamlining Diversification and new revenue Team building and capacity Revenue diversification What It Actually Costs 2x overhead, fragmented leadership, billing gaps at both sites 6 to 12 months of workflow disruption, revenue dip during transition Core service attention drops, existing margin erodes Payroll grows faster than revenue, management overwhelm follows Credentialing lag, cash flow gap, billing team stretched thin Three actions this week Name the hard problem you have been avoiding, and write it down. Calculate what one boring fix is worth over twelve months (a 3% net collection lift on $300K a month is $108,000 a year).

Elle te répond en direct !Andrea est pacsée, 2 enfants en bas âge dont un tout petit bébé. Depuis 6 mois, elle est en recherche d'emploi. Son compagnon est en CDI. Ensemble, ils ont chacun un bien locatif — sans crédit dessus — qui génère des revenus complémentaires.Leur rêve : acheter leur résidence principale. Le problème : ils sont en zone frontalière avec l'Italie, le mètre carré dépasse €5 000, et même avec €100 000 d'apport, le financement ne tient pas.Dans cet extrait de la Radio Libre, Delphine fait le calcul en direct — et pour la première fois, elle utilise ChatGPT en live devant la communauté pour simuler la capacité d'emprunt. Le verdict est sans appel : €350 000 à emprunter sur €4 300 de revenus nets, ça fait 43% d'endettement. Ça ne passe pas.Alors Delphine pose les deux seules vraies options sur la table : vendre un bien locatif pour augmenter l'apport, ou augmenter les revenus. Et elle chiffre exactement ce qu'il faudrait gagner en plus pour que le dossier devienne finançable.

How long does an EV battery really last? Dave's 2022 Ford Mustang Mach-E has now surpassed an incredible 350,000 miles, making it one of the highest-mileage Mustang Mach-Es on the road today. In this episode of Turn Down for Watt, we revisit Dave to discuss EV battery degradation, battery health, charging habits, maintenance costs, reliability, and long-term electric vehicle ownership after hundreds of thousands of miles.When Dave first joined the show, his 2022 Ford Mustang Mach-E Premium had already surpassed 250,000 miles, challenging everything many people thought they knew about EV battery life, electric vehicle reliability, and long-term ownership costs. Now, with another 100,000 miles added to the odometer, we wanted to check back in and see what has changed—and what hasn't.Can a modern EV really go 350,000 miles on its original battery? How much range has been lost? What maintenance and repairs have been required? What has ownership actually cost compared to a gas vehicle? And what lessons can EV owners, fleet operators, and EV skeptics learn from one of the highest-mileage electric vehicles on the road today?Connect with Dave:
There are six “green flags” most real estate investors completely miss, but can make them serious wealth. Any of these six will allow you to buy an undervalued investment property, increase its value (and rents), and walk away wealthier than the other investors who simply glanced past it. The best part? These are often turn-offs for ordinary homebuyers, so your competition is even slimmer. Henry has been buying properties like these for years, and if he stumbles upon one with any of these six green flags, he stops and evaluates it. These signs are so powerful, they could allow you to buy a $250K on-market property that's secretly worth $350K…just nobody knows it! So what are the six green flags? We're going through each, piece-by-piece, from unused “space” that commands higher rents, to “free” land that can help you cover your down payment or renovation costs, and even secret second units most homeowners are completely unaware of. Find any of these, and it's the needle in the haystack most investors wish they could buy. In This Episode We Cover Got extra square footage? Here's how to turn space into tens of thousands in more equity One thing that every primary bedroom should have that's missing from older houses Why Henry always looks for homes on a large lot (hint: it can pay for your investment) How to turn an unused basement into an entirely separate unit (but it requires this) Arguably the easiest way to raise rents without renovating the property And So Much More!

What does it actually take to start booking higher-end weddings fast? In this episode, I sit down with Holden and Gracie of Kate Laine Events to talk about how they went from college friends with an idea to planning their first $350,000 wedding just a couple years into business. This conversation is about way more than "luxury weddings." We talk about trust, presentation, confidence, networking, content creation, vendor relationships, and why experience matters just as much as the quality of your work.

We also dive into: • How they started booking higher-end clients early • The importance of personality and storytelling in content • Why relationships with vendors matter so much • The role confidence plays in pricing and positioning • How to scale without losing quality or burning out • What actually makes couples trust you with a large wedding budget This episode is a masterclass in building momentum in the wedding industry without pretending to be someone you're not.

Tell us what you like or dislike about this episode!! Be honest, we don't bite!Dubai dating is a different planet. In this episode, Matt sits down with Christiana Maxion, a high-net-worth matchmaker who works with wealthy men looking for a serious partner, and charges $65,000 to $350,000 to do it. They get into the brutal reality of “transactional” dating, where people say they want respect, while negotiating the relationship like a deal. Christiana explains why every relationship is transactional (money, emotions, sex, status, pick your currency), and why the real difference is the standard you hold and the environment you keep putting yourself in. Then it turns into pure business: how her offline matchmaking agency works (vetting, background checks, concierge dates, feedback loops), what “success” actually means, and how she's scaling it with MAX, a “matchmaking app” built to stop people wasting their lives in DMs and get them to the first date faster. You'll hear Matt & Christiana talk about:Why Dubai dating feels pay-to-play, and how to avoid ending up in the same loop. The real reason men pay $65k–$350k for matchmaking (hint: it's not romance, it's time). What her process actually looks like: vetting, alignment, concierge dates, and feedback. “Delusional” requirements (and the fastest way to ruin your dating life). How she built MAX: subscriptions, verification, compatibility matching, and auto-booked first dates. The business model behind a matchmaking agency (and why referrals are the real growth engine). Why she's building separate matchmaking “portals” (expats, India, Muslim marriages) and expanding across the GCC.

Jeff Dudan's free digital copy of his book What does it actually take to build a $600 million home service company starting from painting garage doors for $100 each? Tommy Mello, founder of A1 Garage Door Service, breaks down the exact journey from broke to billionaire-in-progress - and he holds nothing back. In this episode, Tommy shares the $100 million whiteboard brainstorm that his own managers laughed at, the painful partnership breakup that forced him to call his mom for help, and the mindset shift that finally made him love Mondays. He reveals why the best employees are never on Indeed, how a $350K consulting investment changed everything, the branding overhaul that let him raise prices overnight, and why he believes A1 is on track to become a monopoly that may need to be broken up by regulators. Whether you're a home service operator stuck at $1M or an entrepreneur trying to break through your next ceiling, Tommy's no-nonsense philosophy on performance pay, recruiting A-players, systems, and delayed gratification will fundamentally change how you think about building a business. Key Topics Covered: • Growing up with a single mom working three jobs and learning the value of work early • Breaking up with his first business partner and calling his mom to save the company • The $100M whiteboard brainstorm that became a $600M exit • Why 3% unemployment means job boards are the unemployment line coming to you • How Al Levy transformed A1's systems, manuals, and culture in two years • The branding overhaul with Dan Antonelli that raised prices and improved recruiting • Getting on Service Titan by cold messaging the founder on LinkedIn • Using Rilla Voice, ServiceTitan, and AI tools to dominate home service • Celebrating new hires with red carpet moments and champagne toasts • Why buying the way you want to be bought from changes everything • The one-sentence closing wisdom: the magic you're looking for is in the work you're avoiding.

Get your first month free of Social Templates: http://socialtemplates.co/johnbunn Use code: JOHNBUNN In this episode of Shifting Focus, I break down how Instagram became a real part of my brand and not just something I posted on when I felt like it. Over the last two years, I committed to consistency, clarity, and using Instagram as a tool to connect with the right people. That shift led to over $350,000 in bookings and, more importantly, consistent referrals from planners and past clients. This is not about chasing trends or going viral. It is about building momentum, staying top of mind, and creating a brand that attracts the right buyers over time. If Instagram feels random or inconsistent in your business, this episode will give you a practical way to start using it with purpose.
Teaching isn't the reward you get after you've learned something. For Taim Dawod, it's been the learning method itself.In this episode, we revisit a conversation with Taim Dawod, a medical doctor from Norway who started a medical education YouTube channel in his first year of med school, with no experience in video, editing, or teaching online. What started as a way to make anatomy easier to study for himself grew into a channel with hundreds of thousands of subscribers.The conversation gets into how Taim's visual way of learning shapes everything he creates, and why adding animations was the moment his audience really started to connect. He also talks about working through a full medical curriculum one topic at a time alongside hospital shifts.He walks through his 7-step process for making medical education videos. And his approach to consistency is simpler than you'd think. One hour a day, even if it's just one sentence, is what keeps him going.Learning points from the episode include:00:00 – 01:48 Intro01:49 – 02:33 Taim's background as a medical doctor and content creator02:34 – 04:12 Taim's #1 tip: start without experience04:13 – 07:20 Why the channel started as a visual learning tool07:21 – 11:37 The turning point: animations and 3D visuals11:38 – 17:10 Choosing topics and working through a curriculum17:11 – 21:25 Taim's 7-step process for creating educational videos21:26 – 26:27 Building a sustainable habit: one hour a day26:28 – 28:57 Tips for aspiring educational content creators28:58 – 36:17 Speed round questions36:18 – 37:44 Taim's final take and where to find him37:45 – 38:44 OutroImportant links and mentions:Subscribe to Taim's YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@TaimTalksMedFollow Taim on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/taimtalksmed/Learn more about Camtasia: https://www.techsmith.com/camtasia/

14-year-old Otto Schellhammer from Pittsburgh, who says it “was all luck,” has managed to pick all of the correct winners so far in the women’s NCAA tournament. As other TikTok users shared similar stories—sudden infusions of cash, new job openings—“Ring My Bell” has surged. Last December, it was earning a little more than 200,000 streams a week on average in the U.S. That number was up 10-fold in the first half of March, according to the data company Luminate. A rare, original C‑3PO head from Star Wars: Episode V – The Empire Strikes Back sold for $1.058 million at Propstore’s entertainment memorabilia auction—making it the top sale of the event so far. Believed to be the only head from the film available on the collector’s market—and featuring working light‑up eyes—the piece far exceeded its estimated $350K–$700K range. Five Guys CEO Jerry Murrell distributed $1.5 million in bonuses to employees after a buy-one-get-one (BOGO) promotion celebrating the chain’s 40th anniversary overwhelmed stores. The unexpected rush crashed systems and depleted food supplies, leading Murrell to compensate the "hardworking crews" with $1,000 per location for their efforts.

What are early-career dentists actually thinking? Not the polished conference version. The Reddit threads, the Dentaltown forums, the TikTok rants, and the private conversations that happen when nobody is performing.Shawn Zajas pulled real, unfiltered sentiment from across the internet and brought those questions directly to Dr. Allison House, a practicing dentist with over 25 years of experience. The result is one of the most direct episodes this show has ever produced.Dr. House confirms what many young dentists already suspect: fewer than 6% of dental grads feel prepared to handle insurance. The debt-to-income ratio that made ownership achievable for her generation is simply broken for today's graduates. And the mentorship infrastructure that medicine takes for granted does not exist in dentistry.She does not hedge. She does not protect the profession from the criticism it deserves. She also does not let new dentists off the hook when personal responsibility matters."If you have something that will change somebody's life, you have a moral obligation to sell it." That quote alone will change how you think about the healer-versus-salesperson tension that haunts new dentists.This episode is for every dentist who felt thrown into the deep end. And for every established dentist who has influence over what happens next.TIMESTAMPS:0:00 Intro and format overview 1:30 Why dental school has no time to teach insurance, and why that is a structural problem not a curriculum failure 6:43 Dr. House's first job, an HMO contract for 25% of collections, and what she did not know going in 8:02 The debt-to-income ratio is broken, and Dr. House goes on the record saying so 9:12 Dentists eating their young, why the profession struggles with mentorship compared to medicine 11:08 Is practice ownership still the gold standard, and why the honest answer is no 13:28 What passive income actually means for a dentist, and what sustainable wealth building looks like 15:53 The imaginary residency model that could fix early career dentistry if the profession had the will 18:18 Why you cannot just stay chairside and trust everyone else, your license is always on the line 20:26 The moral obligation to sell, and why the healer identity and the sales reality are not actually in conflict 22:28 Social media dentistry, both the luxury version and the burnout version are real, and most dentists live between them 24:19 Why the curated version of dentistry on social media is doing the profession a disservice 26:09 How to build rapport when you walk into an established team as the newest and youngest person in the room 28:36 The present-day liability problem, and why practice owners hesitate to invest in new associates 29:45 Dr. House worked for seven practices in her first two years 30:22 Why medicine's training systems are better, and what dentistry would need to change to catch upKEY TAKEAWAYS FROM THIS EPISODE:The structural problem with dental education is not that educators are failing. It is that four years is not enough to cover both clinical mastery and full business literacy. Something will always get cut, and business always gets cut.The one-to-one debt-to-income ratio that made ownership the obvious goal for older generations is gone. New graduates need to evaluate ownership honestly against their specific financial reality, not based on what the profession used to reward.Dentistry does not have medicine's residency infrastructure. That means new dentists are released into independent practice before they have the hand skills, leadership presence, or communication tools to do it well. That is a profession-level problem, not a personal failure.The discomfort around sales is a sign that your ethical instincts are working. The reframe that matters: if the treatment is in your patient's best interest and you would recommend it for your own family, presenting it clearly is not sales. It is patient advocacy.Social media shows you the curated versions of dentistry. Perfect preps, luxury buildouts, and crushing it captions. Most dentists are doing their best on complicated cases with difficult patients in practices that look nothing like that. Comparing your real practice to someone else's edited highlight reel is a direct path to dental burnout.ABOUT YOUR HOSTS:Dr. Allison House is a practicing dentist with over 25 years of clinical experience in Phoenix, Arizona. She has served in organizational leadership within state dental associations, mentored dozens of early-career dentists, and built a values-aligned practice from the ground up starting with two patients. She brings clinical expertise, ethical leadership, and the kind of honest perspective that only comes from actually doing the work for decades.Shawn Zajas is a dental marketing expert, brand strategist, and co-host of The Authentic Dentist Podcast. He works at the intersection of authentic leadership and dental practice growth, helping practitioners find the practice identity that is actually their own rather than a version of what the industry told them to want. He is the founder of Zana and a long-time advocate for authentic expression in dentistry.Together, Dr. House and Shawn bridge the clinical and business realities of dental practice in a way that most dental podcasts never attempt.CONNECT WITH US:The Authentic Dentist Podcast is for dentists who want to build practices and careers that are aligned with who they actually are.

We are joined by Theorem Development founders & owners Faizan & Suraj who break down their business for us. A real multiplex deal, broken down: Suraj walks through a recent East Vancouver fourplex project from start to finish — $2M land acquisition, $2M construction, $350K in soft costs, and $6M in total sales revenue, delivering roughly 40% annualized return on invested capital to their citizen developer client. The biggest roadblocks holding back supply: From BC Hydro transformer upgrades that can cost $120K+ and delay projects by over a year, to 6–10 month permitting timelines that add $60–100K in holding costs, Suraj and Faizan break down exactly where time and money get burned — and who ultimately pays for it (hint: the buyer). Why Vancouver's multiplex math favors build-to-sell over buy-and-hold: Unlike Toronto where CMHC MLI Select financing pushes developers toward rental, Vancouver's strata title system and strong end-user demand at the $1.5–1.9M price point make merchant building the more compelling strategy, with 20%+ returns on cost.

Over the weekend we got some pretty interesting tech news that validates everything we were assuming about the Pokemon Go craze from ten years ago; there was plenty to be said about the herd-like social behavior, but for which purpose was the augmented reality tech really being developed? The uninteresting Oscars were last night, and whereas I didn't watch a moment, I did take a look at the insane stuff that was included in the celebrity gift bags from this year. We'll make time for calls and questions from the audience, as another big week begins.

Most contractors are told to niche down—and then wonder why opportunities pass them by.

Emma Storey: How 2 part-time working mums billed £500K in their first 2 years!Emma Storey never thought she'd still be in recruitment after having kids.She'd never worked with a mum in the industry. Never had a role model who'd done it. The assumption was always the same: have a baby, and your recruitment career is over.But after successfully juggling recruitment and becoming a mum inside the pandemic, in 2023 she launched her own agency with colleague Nicola Morse, a fellow working mum.They launched Hera with the plan to both work part-time, and within months, Emma soon fell pregnant with baby number 2.Inside the first 2 years, working part-time around school runs, nursery pickups and a maternity leave, they have billed £500K.That's £150K in year one during one of the worst recruitment markets in a generation, and £350K in year two with Emma off for three months and working three days a week for the rest.But what makes Emma different isn't the revenue. It's the reason she built the business in the first place.Female candidates regularly tell Hera they're nervous about wearing their wedding ring to interviews because they know it signals they might want children. Hiring managers have told them directly: we don't want people from that age range.Emma lived it herself. In one agency, a mum who left at three o'clock was met with the same comment every single day: "Thanks for coming."So Emma and Nicola built Hera around a guarantee most agencies won't make: a diverse shortlist on every single role. They positioned diversity and inclusion not as a side project but as the commercial engine. And it worked. Every client they've won has bought into it.Their target is £500K this year. They have no plans to hire a team. No plans to scale beyond two. No plans to stop billing.Inside this unique story we cover:Why Emma assumed motherhood would end her recruitment careerThe "thanks for coming" culture that still exists in agenciesWhy female candidates hide their wedding rings in interviewsHow two part-time working mums billed £500K in their first two yearsThe diverse shortlist guarantee that wins every clientWhy they target £500K a year and have zero interest in scaling beyond thatHow shared parental leave changed everything for their familyThe co-founder relationship that started at kids' swimming lessonsThis isn't about scaling fast or building an empire.It's about two women who were told, directly and indirectly, that motherhood and recruitment don't mix. They billed half a million pounds in two years working part-time and proved it wrong. Without sacrificing bedtimes, school runs, or being present for their kids.If you're a female recruiter wondering whether you can have children, build a business, and still love what you do, this episode is your blueprint.__________________________________________Episode Sponsor: AtlasLet's be honest.

Money Follows Speed: How Wendy (& Sean) Turned 34 Seller Contacts Into a New Absentee Owner Listing AND $1.1M Off Market Deal!Watch the full video replay: https://youtu.be/JkkiKtjJBCwIn this episode, the host shares a win from Wendy, a Listing Sprint participant who previously joined the inaugural Deal Sprint and followed a three-step blueprint: find a deal to use as bait, use it to reach out to buyers, and make offers on the bait or on other transactions for those buyers. Wendy reached out to 34 sellers while also attending Closers Cafe and was sourcing for a $1.4M buyer she had obtained through social posting or a networking group. From those 34, one response led to a neighbor planning to move, resulting in a call with the seller and a showing set for a likely $1.1M property. Wendy also contacted a prior client—a cash buyer with a duplex—leading Sean to meet him quickly and secure a listing expected to be signed for $350K, with the seller also mentioning openness to offers on a $3M home. The host emphasizes the mindset “money follows speed and time kills all deals,” encouraging immediate action when someone is ready to move. Additional context explains Wendy's approach of using a specific reason to reach out—off-market properties she and Sean had available—resulting in “no match, but landed the listing,” plus a $400K buyer consult scheduled around Easter. The episode reinforces that Lead Deck, the Deal Sprint, and the Listing Sprint are designed to drive activity so agents spend more time matching existing relationships and less time cold prospecting, with a reminder that business ebbs and flows may require returning to cold outreach. The host previews a potential next-month sprint focused on building a pipeline of senior owners to help members quickly rebuild an empty pipeline through a proven plan and strong implementation.The MOST POWERFUL Motivated Seller & Cash Buyer Software!
