Setbacks early on can reshape everything.They can alter your future strategy, shift your appetite for risk, and — if you're patient — quietly set you up for success while others chase growth at any cost.As with any company, “figuring it out” is part of the job. And sometimes, that figuring it out happens faster than you'd ever hope.The challenges you face early in your cannabis journey become the lens you see the world through — for better or worse. Those lessons, combined with the financial discipline from previous chapters of life, shape your decision-making, your culture, and your tolerance for this chaotic industry.And as cannabis braces for consolidation and a $6B debt wall, that slow, methodical approach might prove to be the ultimate advantage.This week we sit down with Jared Maloof, CEO of Standard Wellness, to discuss:• How early mistakes built long-term discipline• Why focused, prudent capital deployment became Standard's superpower• The playbook across Utah, Ohio, and beyond• Conversations with Carl Icahn Chapters00:00 Introduction to the Cannabis Journey02:55 Transitioning into the Cannabis Industry06:10 Challenges in the Early Days09:07 Expanding into New Markets11:58 Navigating Regulatory Differences15:06 Operational Efficiencies and Vertical Integration17:55 The Future of Cannabis Expansion25:52 Navigating the Licensing Landscape27:40 Market Dynamics and Qualifying Conditions29:12 Interstate Commerce Considerations31:43 The Impact of Hemp on the Cannabis Market34:25 Consumer Perception and Market Competition38:20 The Future of Cannabis Beverages40:16 Opportunities Amidst Industry Challenges44:20 Leveraging AI in Cannabis Operations46:15 The Importance of Uplifting for Industry GrowthSummaryIn this episode, Bryan Fields and Kellen Finney engage with Jared Maloof, CEO of Standard Wellness, to explore the evolving landscape of the cannabis industry.

In this unfiltered solo episode of Rethink Real Estate, host Ben Brady, CEO of Harcourts Auctions, breaks down one of the biggest industry shakeups in recent history: Compass's acquisition of Anywhere Real Estate. With two giants now attempting to merge — both operating under massive debt and increasing scrutiny — Ben takes a deep dive into what this means for agents, franchise owners, and the future of brokerage models.Ben unpacks the complexities of the deal, questioning whether regulators will even allow it to pass given the DOJ's ongoing antitrust lens over real estate commissions and collusion. Beyond the headlines, he explores the deeper issue—how the traditional brokerage model may be collapsing under its own weight. Drawing from his experience across multiple markets, he explains why local ownership, accountability, and culture might be the last remaining competitive advantage in a corporatized industry.This episode isn't just commentary — it's a candid look at the changing DNA of real estate, the mistakes of “too-big-to-fail” brokerages, and where opportunity lies for the next generation of local operators ready to rise in the vacuum left behind.Timestamps & Key Topics:[00:00:00] - Ben's first reaction to the Compass-Anywhere merger news[00:00:57] - Can the DOJ really allow this acquisition to go through?[00:01:45] - Monopoly concerns and why consolidation might backfire[00:02:53] - Two unprofitable companies merge… to fix profitability?[00:03:20] - The $2.6B debt question: where does the money go?[00:04:04] - What this merger means for mid-tier and boutique brokerages[00:05:34] - Local vs. corporate: why agents crave connection and support[00:06:00] - Real-world recruiting stories from Bend, Oregon[00:07:50] - How corporate “support tickets” are killing culture[00:09:59] - Institutionalization: when your broker becomes a tech rep[00:10:56] - The slow decline of the traditional brokerage model[00:11:58] - Lessons from the Yellow Pages: cutting costs vs. creating value[00:12:43] - Why local accountability will define real estate's next era[00:13:26] - Final reflections: why small may actually win big

The Industry Relations Podcast is now available on your favorite podcast player! Rob and Greg dive into the major industry shake-up: Compass acquiring Anywhere. They discuss the financial implications, consolidation trends, the future of MLS rules, and what the move means for private listings, brokerages, and consumers. The conversation also covers how competitors like Zillow, Keller Williams, and eXp might respond. Key Takeaways Compass acquires Anywhere in an all-stock deal valued at $1.6B, assuming $2.6B in debt. Combined, Compass and Anywhere account for roughly one-third of U.S. real estate transaction volume and one in six agents. Discussion on antitrust concerns and whether regulators will intervene. Compass's acquisition could accelerate industry consolidation, making scale critical for brokerages. Anywhere's conservative approach historically shaped industry standards; the acquisition may shift how private listings are treated. Debate over whether consumers really want private/exclusive listings and how MLS enforcement may change. Predictions that other brokerages will roll out private listing programs to compete. Speculation on how Zillow and large MLSs will respond to these shifts.

Today's Headlines: Epstein survivors demanded the full release of government files on his trafficking network. Haley Robson, abused by both Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, stressed the issue isn't political and called out banks that looked the other way while Epstein moved huge sums of cash. Survivors also noted Epstein's favorite brag: his friendship with Trump. In response, Trump staged a loud military flyover to drown them out, held his own Oval Office event with Poland's new right-wing president, and again dismissed the survivors' claims as a “hoax”—despite warning GOP lawmakers the night before that forcing DOJ to release the files would be an act of betrayal. Meanwhile, China's massive military parade rolled out thousands of troops and cutting-edge weapons for Xi, Putin, Kim Jong-un, and two dozen other world leaders. Putin even floated meeting Zelensky in Moscow, though given Russia's use of North Korean fighters in Ukraine, that seems like a stretch. Back home, the latest jobs report shows more unemployed Americans than job openings for the first time since 2021. A federal judge also smacked down the Trump administration's $2.6B in Harvard research funding cuts, calling them retaliation dressed up as “antisemitism” concerns. Florida went full Wild West on public health, ending vaccine mandates for all childhood diseases—measles, polio, the works—while the state's surgeon general bizarrely compared mandates to slavery. And in tech news, Oura's new partnership with the Department of Defense sparked consumer concern about data-sharing, though the company insists civilian users' info won't be touched.

Altcoin froth meets political theater. The team dissects World Liberty Financial's explosive debut: a $22B token backed by the Trump family, a disputed Aave partnership, insider buybacks, and a “gold paper” instead of a whitepaper. We break down Justin Sun's role, why critics call it crypto's “garbage moat,” and how WLFi could become the Thanksgiving dinner debate of 2025. Plus: Gavin Newsom's meme coin tease, GDP data going on-chain, and the CFTC reopening U.S. markets to global exchanges. Welcome to The Chopping Block – where crypto insiders Haseeb Qureshi, Tom Schmidt, Tarun Chitra, and Robert Leshner chop it up about the latest in crypto. This week, the crew dives into the wild debut of World Liberty Financial — Trump's $22B DeFi token that launched with a “gold paper,” insider allocations, and buybacks despite no product. We break down the Trump family's $5B paper fortune, the disputed Aave deal, and whether WLFi is a serious stablecoin project or just another garbage fire in crypto's moat. From Justin Sun's backing to Thanksgiving dinner debates, we unpack what WLFi means for politics, memes, and markets. Then we zoom out to Gavin Newsom's meme coin tease, the U.S. Commerce Department posting GDP on-chain, and fresh CFTC moves that could reshape crypto exchanges and ETFs. Show highlights

It looks like the market is going on vacation! Well I am too. Today we talk everything from vacation plans to shifting markets. We also cover recent crypto volatility, the resilience of Bitcoin, and concerns over MicroStrategy's stock dilution strategy, framing dips as potential buying opportunities within broader trends. We chat on quirky social trends in China, like “pretend to work” jobs for unemployed youth, and highlight Ray Dalio's view that real estate is a poor investment in today's environment with recent price drops accorss the U.S. Today we discuss... Media narratives often obscure the real developments happening quietly in the background. Stablecoins are emerging as a substitute for the dollar and could diminish banks' central role in the financial system. This shift resembles the fragmented multi-currency era before the creation of the Federal Reserve. Recent crypto markets have been volatile, with Bitcoin showing resilience despite sharp pullbacks. Ray Dalio argued that real estate is a poor investment today due to its interest rate sensitivity and immobility. U.S. real estate markets are already showing significant price declines in several regions. The administration is talking up lower rates, Trump has pushed cuts, and Powell left rates unchanged at the last meeting. Market behavior appears disconnected from economic data, undermining the usefulness of traditional reports. Government statistics are viewed as unreliable, with references to Shadow Stats' alternative takes on CPI history. Given data doubts, the focus should be on how markets and investor sentiment actually react. Seasonally, mid-August to mid-November is typically weak, and the second year of a presidency often underperforms. August and September have historically been the S&P 500's weakest months, while 2025 has so far outperformed typical post-election patterns. Personal spending is slipping, and fast-casual chains' same-store sales have fallen since Q4, suggesting strain. Housing and renovation activity looks softer versus the last five years but closer to pre-2020 norms—a reversion to the mean, not necessarily recession. Student loan and credit-card delinquencies are spiking, hinting at cash-flow stress that clashes with low unemployment data. Tariff revenues jumped from roughly $8B/month to about $29.6B/month, with companies largely absorbing costs so far. Money is chasing select commodities like gold, silver, and uranium, while others like lithium lag and could move with China trade shifts. The dollar sits mid-range historically and could sink on aggressive cuts, though today's “broken” market dynamics muddy typical cause-and-effect. Despite risks, the market's underlying tone is bullish, so a continued climb is possible on favorable policy headlines. Research notes humans rate AI higher when it agrees with them, suggesting systems learn to avoid conflict and may reinforce user beliefs.   Today's Panelists: Kirk Chisholm | Innovative Wealth Douglas Heagren | ProCollege Planners Follow on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/moneytreepodcast Follow LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/showcase/money-tree-investing-podcast Follow on Twitter/X: https://x.com/MTIPodcast For more information, visit the show notes at https://moneytreepodcast.com/market-is-going-on-vacation-739
