228: In this episode of the REtipster Podcast, I talk with David Hansen, Arturo Paturzo, and Emanuel Wijkhuisen, three real estate investors who teamed up to take on a high-stakes land entitlement project in Alabama.(Show Notes: REtipster.com/228)This deal was originally meant to be a simple land flip, but they quickly pivoted into a full-scale platted subdivision. They faced many challenges: a shady real estate agent, a ghosting engineer, hidden wetlands, last-minute developer surprises, sewer quotes jumping by $150K, and even a paved road that mysteriously appeared just before closing.We dive deep into their process, what they learned, and how they turned a risky $250K investment into nearly $600K in profit without building anything.If you're curious about how land entitlement deals work, how to work with builders and developers, or want to hear a wild real estate story packed with lessons, this one's for you!

Samantha Gee reports.
Love is mysterious, and the death of love even more so: it's complicated, sticky, and heart breaking. When there are children impacted, as was the case with Marvin and Anna Gaye, and Richard and Linda Thompson, the emotional brutality can resonate for generations. Is it worthy compensation if the anguish produces great art? Life is short - Art is long, and isn't that what every artist hopes for, that their art will endure beyond the grave? Who can weigh that balance?Today's cuts illuminate couples in crisis: In the case of the Thompsons, they were dissolving a recording and performing team; in Marvin's, he was being ousted by the sister of the man who gave him his break. Neither scenario is pretty, but the resultant music remains divine.HERE MY DEAR / MARVIN GAYEAnna Gordy Gaye wanted a million dollars as a divorce settlement from Marvin. She took out a warrant for his arrest for failing to pay alimony, and put a restraining order on him. Check. So, a deal was struck: in exchange for $600K (1/2 in advance; half to be taken out of royalties), Marvin would produce a new album to get her paid. Check mate.Initially intending to make a quick knock off, Marvin became fascinated with the project, devoting himself to making it a passionate sacrifice, detailing the death of love. It was a critical and commercial failure upon its release, but has since been reconsidered, and is now thought of as one of his finest achievements. The title cut that introduces the album disturbingly cuts off in mid-phrase - a distinctly telling gesture.WALL OF DEATH / RICHARD AND LINDA THOMPSONLinda was pregnant with Richard's third child when producer Joe Boyd got them into the studio to record the album “Shoot Out the Lights” - a record which Rolling Stone designated as #9 on its list of the “Best Albums of the 1980s”. They were supposed to tour immediately after to promote the record, but unfortunately, this had to be delayed to allow Linda to give birth. In the interim, Richard, who had fallen in love with another woman, dropped the bad news on her as they set out on tour.After being together for 10 years, and Linda converting to Sufi Islam for Richard, renouncing worldly pleasures, she was now trapped inside a loveless, commercial obligation, ironically, to promote their finest collaboration.Wall of Death, which closes the album, depicts love as a dangerous carnival ride in which you take your chances at calamity, but still want to go back to ride, again and again.
We just had our biggest financial leap ever, a $310,000 increase in our net worth in just one quarter. In this episode, I take you behind the curtain to reveal exactly how we did it. But this isn't just about our win—it's a blueprint for how you can do it too. I'm sharing the exact system we use (and teach inside Budget Dog Academy) that's changing lives and stacking net worth gains for hundreds of our students. I'll show you how simple financial tools—like a balance sheet, budget, and roadmap—when automated and aligned with your values, can completely transform your financial life. Whether you're in debt, overwhelmed, or just looking for next-level results, this is your episode. Timeline Summary: [0:00] – Introduction [0:41] – Our $310K Q2 net worth increase and why this framework is different [3:07] – Real-life student success stories and their massive net worth jumps [4:59] – Core drivers behind our growth: cash flow optimization, investing, and business valuations [5:26] – The 5-document system: balance sheet, budget, amortization schedule, roadmap, and cash flow goal worksheet [10:01] – How tracking quarterly net worth can change your mindset [13:01] – Why automation beats emotion when managing your finances [20:05] – Turning your goals into monthly cash flow targets [23:36] – The 3 pillars of financial fitness: education, automation, and community [27:39] – The myth of “more income equals clarity”—what really solves financial anxiety [29:34] – My personal “why” and how financial freedom saved our family 5 Key Takeaways: Automation is key. Your system should run itself with minimal input—30 minutes a month is all it takes. Clarity trumps income. You don't need more money—you need a better plan for the money you already have. Track it or lose it. A quarterly balance sheet is like stepping on the financial scale—you can't improve what you don't measure. Your roadmap should reflect your values. Build a system that funds your goals, not someone else's idea of success. Community and education drive momentum. Surrounding yourself with the right tools and people accelerates your financial journey. Quotables: “More income is speed—not clarity. If you're leaking at $60K, you'll be leaking at $600K.” “If you can't commit to 30 minutes a month, you're not ready to win financially.” “Automation eliminates the human limitations holding you back from wealth.” “Net worth is the scoreboard, but freedom is the real win.” “I don't just build systems—I build legacies.” Links & Resources: https://bookwithbudgetdog.com/ped If this episode gave you clarity or motivation, share it with someone who needs to hear it.

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1090: Toyota leads with heart in Texas, Redwood supercharges old EV batteries for AI, and deepfake fraud hits a chilling milestone. Show Notes with links:Following catastrophic flooding, Toyota is stepping up big for its home state, pledging over $600,000 in aid to support the Kerr County Flood Relief Fund and various on-the-ground recovery efforts.TMNA is joining forces with Toyota Financial Services, Gulf States Toyota, Southeast Toyota, and dealers nationwide.On top of the $600K, TMNA will match contributions up to $10,000 for eligible Toyota and Lexus dealers donating to flood relief charities and will double all U.S. team member contributions directed to disaster relief.Relief includes financial assistance, donation drives, and payment relief for impacted customers.“When disasters like this occur, it's important to help our neighbors and communities in their time of need,” said TMNA CEO Ted Ogawa.Redwood Materials, led by former Tesla co-founder JB Straubel, is giving EV batteries a second life—this time fueling the AI revolution with renewable power.In the Nevada desert, Redwood built a 12 MW/63 MWh microgrid from 792 repurposed EV battery packs from automakers like Toyota, GM, and VW, which is enough to power 4,000 homes continuously for about 5 hours.The system powers an AI data center using only a 33-acre solar array—no grid connection, no permits, no backup generators.With AI data centers projected to consume 12% of U.S. electricity by 2028, second-life batteries are gaining traction as scalable, fast-to-deploy storage.Redwood expects to deliver over 5 GWh of repurposed storage capacity in the next 12 months.“You can deploy this very fast,” said Straubel. “We'll absolutely see much larger deployments of this.”(Since they are powering an ai data center…speaking of ai)A new wave of AI voice cloning fraud has hit an alarming milestone: impersonating a U.S. Secretary of State. The attack duped global leaders—and required just seconds of audio.In June 2025, a cloned voice of Marco Rubio was used to contact five officials via Signal.Victims included a U.S. governor, a member of Congress, and three foreign ministers.FBI warnings have cited a surge in AI-driven impersonation scams since April.Past heists include $243K from a UK energy firm and $35M from a UAE bank.Deepfake losses could hit $40B by 2027. Humans detect fake voices only half the time.“It's not a matter of if, but when,” security experts warn.0:00 Intro with Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier1:22 Announcements3:05 Toyota Donates $600K To Texas Relief Efforts6:40 Redwood Materials Recycled EV Batteries Powers AI Data Centers11:26 MarcJoin Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/

That's bloat.You'll discover:✅ Why most producers plateau...and how to break through✅ How Alkeme built a Producer Portal that actually gets used✅ The single most important metric every producer should track (average account size)✅ How to design cross-sell and round-out into your operations✅ The real cost of service drag (and why it caps growth)✅ Why earnouts complicate scale—and how Alkeme is solving for it✅ What to do when producers resist systems, tools, and change

Ajay Prakash, Co-Founder & CEO of Rinse shares his story getting raising $70M and how they launched to hit product-market fit! 03:06 – Ajay explains how he wasted three months pitching Series A firms for a seed round. 05:03 – Don't try to predict who will write a check — talk to everyone qualified, but do it in a tight time frame to keep momentum and focus. 06:03 – Their first capital came from a rolling friends & family round — with no set close — raising ~$500–600K before institutional funding. 07:04 – Ajay's co-founder saw declining traffic at his parents' dry cleaning store — they tested an idea within two weeks and got paying customers. 09:02 – Rinse didn't solve one big issue — it solved many small ones. That made the case for building a better, end-to-end dry cleaning experience. 12:14 – Unlike Uber's urgent need, laundry is a chronic pain. Rinse focused on reliability and consistency, not instant gratification. 15:22 – They focused their launch in three SF zip codes to manage operational complexity and ensure quality service before scaling. 16:04 – Ajay and James only began paying themselves once the $2.5M seed round closed in December 2014. 20:07 – He spent Spring 2014 chasing Series A investors with no success — a misalignment that wasted valuable time and delayed their seed raise. 29:06 – Don't let VCs drag things out with vague interest. You need clarity to survive as an early-stage startup. Rinse is creating a seamless dry cleaning & laundry experience for our customers through a combination of technology, incredible customer service, and strong back-end partnerships. www.rinse.com

Business Growth Do's and Don'ts with Carolyn Lowe Scaling Smarter – How Carolyn Lowe Uses Profit First to Power High-Growth Amazon Brands Are your people profitable—or just payroll? In this episode of The Profit Answer Man, we're diving deep into the often-ignored truth of agency growth: labor isn't your biggest expense—it's your biggest risk. Carolyn Lowe, founder of ROI Swift and a fierce advocate for Profit First, reveals the real math behind scaling service businesses profitably and sustainably. Carolyn isn't just another agency owner. She's scaled brands from $30K to $600K/month profitably on Amazon, lived the corporate gauntlet at Dell, and now advises brands on how to grow without burning through their cash. From Fortune 100 boardrooms to scrappy startup trenches, she's seen it all—and she's here to break down what works. If you're serious about growing your business without losing your sanity or your margins, this is an episode you can't afford to miss. In This Episode, You'll Learn: Why overstaffing is the silent killer of service businesses—and how Carolyn avoids it with a simple ratio. How ROI Swift uses labor efficiency ratios to guide every hiring decision. The surprising connection between lean teams and explosive profit margins. Why Profit First is a must-have playbook in low-margin, high-volume industries like Amazon services. How Carolyn applies EOS-style thinking to team structure and profitability. Key Takeaways: 85% of expenses = people. In a service-based agency, margin management begins (and ends) with smart staffing. Labor Efficiency Ratio (LER) is Carolyn's north star. For every $1 in wages, her team must generate $2–$3 in revenue. Profit First is not optional. Even in hyper-growth, ROI Swift sticks to its allocations to avoid chaos and cash crunches. Growth ≠ headcount. Carolyn scaled a brand 20x by improving systems—not just hiring more people. If your profit is shrinking, look at your payroll first. Staffing bloat is the most common margin killer in scale-stage businesses. About Carolyn Lowe: Carolyn Lowe founded ROI Swift in 2015 after seeing too many small brands overpay for underwhelming agency results. Her mission? Help 500 emerging brands grow profitably on Amazon. With a track record of turning brands from red to roaring—in one case from $30K/mo unprofitable to $600K/mo profitably in under 2 years—Carolyn walks her talk. She's also the author of Business Do's and Absolute Don'ts, distilling wisdom from her work at Dell, Costco, Amazon, and multiple startups. Oh, and fun fact? She's a licensed pilot (though these days she's too busy helping brands take off). Conclusion: Growth is a Math Problem—So Do the Math Carolyn Lowe doesn't scale businesses by guessing. She uses math, metrics, and Profit First to create profitable growth without chaos. If you're tired of hiring ahead of revenue—or watching your payroll eat your profit—this episode gives you the blueprint.

In this powerful episode, I sit down with Tori Bolt to unpack how she and her husband transformed Airbnb listings into a luxury treehouse empire—without relying on OTAs. Tori shares the pivotal moment that changed everything—and how one bold decision led them to walk away from traditional booking platforms and build a direct-booking model that fuels every reservation they now receive.

This isn't just another marketing episode—it's a blueprint for breaking free from conventional business models and building a brand that's driven by purpose, not just profits.

Know your brand and your brand identity; your goal is not to make everybody happy.” “It's absolutely necessary to delegate. If you want to scale and if you want to grow your team, you cannot do everything yourself.” “As soon as you can build trust, you can get people to go direct; and just highlight the reasons why they should go direct.” “I truly believe that mindset is everything. It's the foundation for success. Because the only way that you can truly fail is if you quit.” “If you believe in yourself and believe in what you're looking to build, I believe one of the fastest and best ways to get there is to surround yourself with other people who have been there, because, again, you can plug right into them and not have to reinvent the wheel or live with the mistakes.” This episode is brought to you by StayFi — the easiest way to grow your direct bookings! http://stayfi.com/STRSisterhood Use the code “SISTERHOOD” at checkout for 50% off your first 3 months.

Stupid News 5-22-2025 6am ...Police Officer received over $600K for a Head Injury she didn't suffer from …Latest Online Trend that Could Kill You …"Spike" the Bearded Dragon is now a Fire Fighter
Episode Overview In this episode, John Kitchens sits down with seasoned investor Mark Zawaideh and strategic partner Curt Shewell to unpack what every real estate agent must understand about wealth, leverage, and building a portfolio that will lead you to true financial freedom. Mark shares how he scaled from broke agent to owning over 40 properties—and how one key mindset shift turned $600K in equity into $30M in assets. Together, they break down the dangerous myths agents believe about wealth, why owning a team is not a retirement plan, and how to start thinking like an investor starting today. Key Topics Covered The Scarcity Trap vs. Investor Mindset How Mark's early money beliefs kept him stuck (and how he broke free). The critical difference between “saving” and “scaling” through leverage. Why paying off properties early can actually kill your momentum. Using Real Estate As a Wealth Vehicle Why selling more homes won't build lasting wealth—and what will. How Mark scaled from 1 house to 43 rentals in under 10 years. Turning equity into cash flow: the power of 1031 exchanges and strategic refinancing. How to Make the Shift from Agent to Owner to Owning $100M Portfolio The real risk: owning just 1-2 rental properties and no game plan. Why scaling to 30, 50, or 100+ doors creates less risk, not more. How to use your real estate business to find deals, not just earn commissions. Building Wealth Through Depreciation & Tax Strategy Why depreciation alone could be worth six figures in tax savings. How Mark paid zero in taxes—and got a refund—while earning 7 figures. The difference between earning more… and keeping more. Scaling Beyond Single-Family into Commercial & Multifamily How Mark turned four homes into a 48-unit apartment complex. The mindset shift from “buy and hold” to “scale and grow.” Multifamily vs. single-family: pros, cons, and what most agents miss. Why Real Estate Teams Are Not an Exit Strategy The hard truth about brokerage valuations and “team” exits. Why most teams become burdens, not assets, without investment income. Using your team to unlock opportunity—not just production. The Investor Mastermind & What's Coming Next How Mark and Curt are creating a community for agents ready to build wealth. Why most agents don't lack opportunity—they lack strategy and proximity. What to expect from their upcoming course, community, and coaching framework.

The BRRRR strategy is arguably the fastest way to build wealth with real estate. Just ask Leka Devatha, a Seattle-based investor. She's got ONE BRRRR property this year that could make her $600,000 in profit. And that's ONE home, not an apartment complex. So what is the BRRRR strategy, and why do so many investors write it off instead of trying it in 2025? Are they missing out? Absolutely! BRRRR stands for buy, rehab, rent, refinance, repeat. The basic formula is this: buy a house that needs some improvement, renovate the home (to a scale you're comfortable with), rent out the home to tenants now that it's fixed up, and refinance it. Now that the property is worth more, you may be able to get the bank to pay YOU back your initial down payment and renovation costs due to the increase in equity. Then…repeat until you're financially free. How do you pull off a BRRRR in 2025 with high interest rates, high home prices, and rising renovation costs? Dave and Leka are walking through their own BRRRR deals, showing you how to successfully BRRRR and do it without using ANY of your own money (seriously!). In This Episode We Cover: The BRRRR strategy explained and whether it still works in 2025 Leka's BRRRR deals making her up to $600K! The best property types for BRRRRing to get more cash flow, higher appreciation, and bigger returns How to use other people's money (OPM) to fund your BRRRR investments The “DADU” strategy that could skyrocket your home price with one savvy addition And So Much More!
