Why Did Vinney Chopra Sell $750M in Multifamily—and What's He Betting on Next?Buckle up for an eye-opening conversation with the legendary Vinney "Smile" Chopra—a real estate titan who's built over $1 billion in assets. In this episode, Vinney reveals why he sold off $750M in multifamily real estate over the past four years, the critical market signals that led to his decision, and the asset class he's now going all-in on. From navigating market cycles to high-cash-flow investments in senior living and hospitality, Vinney shares his bold strategies, hard-won lessons, and the untapped opportunities savvy investors should be paying attention to. Key Takeaways to listen from:1. Timing the Market is EverythingVinney sold $750M in multifamily real estate over the past four years because he saw market signals indicating a peak—including aggressive bidding, over-leveraged deals, and unsustainable bridge loans. He emphasizes that successful investors know when to slow down and when to speed up, always leaving "meat on the bone" for the next buyer.2. Multifamily is Facing Major ChallengesVinney warns that the multifamily market has become oversaturated, with declining cash flow, rent stagnation, and increased incentives like four months of free rent just to attract tenants. While he thrived in multifamily for decades, he saw the writing on the wall and pivoted before it was too late.3. The Next Big Opportunity: Senior Living & Residential Assisted Living (RAL)With 10,000 baby boomers turning 65 every day, Vinney is now all-in on senior housing. He first built large-scale assisted living facilities but realized the high payroll costs (38+ employees per facility) were eating into profits. Now, he's focused on Residential Assisted Living (RAL)—smaller, high-cash-flow homes where each resident pays around $5,000–$10,000 per month, generating $10K–$15K in net cash flow per home.4. Scalable Wealth Through Smarter InvestingVinney's strategy isn't just about owning assets—it's about maximizing cash flow. He focuses on low-maintenance, high-demand assets and buys properties where major renovations have already been completed, avoiding unnecessary CapEx. 5. The Importance of Adaptability in InvestingThroughout his career, Vinney has pivoted multiple times—from multifamily to hospitality to senior living and RALs. His key message? Don't get emotionally attached to an asset class. Follow the data, follow the demand, and adapt to where the market is headed. About Tim MaiTim Mai is a real estate investor, fund manager, mentor, and founder of HERO Mastermind for REI coaches.He has helped many real estate investors and coaches become millionaires.

This week, I sit down with Andre Penha, co-founder of QuintoAndar and CEO of IBBX, for a brutally honest, founder-first conversation on building and scaling in Latin America.Andre built QuintoAndar into a $5B+ real estate giant, raised $750M from top investors, and is now betting on wireless electricity, aiming to make chargers, cables, and batteries obsolete with IBBX.Here's what we cover:♢ Why product—not storytelling—wins in fundraising and how investors went from doubting QuintoAndar to fighting to get in.♢ How QuintoAndar cracked real estate's biggest inefficiencies – and why transparency, speed, and reliability were non-negotiable for scale.♢ Scaling culture the hard way – Why Andre enforced a “No Assholes Allowed” rule and fired high performers who didn't align.♢ How to make high-stakes decisions – The Option A vs. Option B framework Andre used to allocate resources and bet on the right things.♢ Board governance done right – How to turn your board into a growth accelerator, not a time drain.♢ Why wireless power is the next trillion-dollar industry – And how IBBX is betting on the future of energy.If you're a founder, investor, or just obsessed with how to build game-changing companies, this episode is packed with unfiltered insights you won't hear anywhere else. Let's get into it.

California Governor Gavin Newsom's ambitious plan to deliver 1,200 tiny homes to address homelessness, announced in March 2023, has yet to materialize, despite the staggering projected cost of $625,000 per unit. Meanwhile, a Pennsylvania Amish community demonstrated the efficiency of private efforts, constructing 12 tiny homes in North Carolina for $25,000 each in just two days. Critics argue that California's bureaucratic "homeless industrial complex" is to blame for the lack of progress, with funds being absorbed by administrative overhead instead of tangible results. This stark contrast highlights the inefficiency of big-government solutions, reinforcing the need for streamlined, cost-effective private initiatives to tackle housing crises. With no homes built as of 2025, the project exemplifies the wastefulness and mismanagement often associated with expansive government programs.

On this week's show we look at whether we have seen peak streaming and we take an analytical look at the movie box office. We may have hit peak Hollywood in the 1990s and early 2000s. We also read your emails and take a look at the week's news. News: Netflix smashes records with NFL double-header and Beyoncé Bowl on Christmas Day LG's Transparent OLED TV Is Now On Sale Other: HONEST REVIEW - FREE TELLY TV - UNBOX ASSEMBLE REVIEW Telly MCINTOSH FACTORY TOUR Streaming Slows to a Trickle in 2025 An embarrassment of riches awaits television and film audiences in 2025, as projects that were delayed by a Hollywood strike in 2023 reach the small and big screens at last.

At home, viewers will settle down for more of “The White Lotus” and the final chapter of “Stranger Things”. Full article here (Subscription Required) Movie Box Office Receipts - An Analysis You may have heard us say that the movie theater business is in decline. With streaming services and short theatrical release windows people are not going to movie theaters. Here's a look at the Box Office Numbers and what has been driving them. These numbers and data were found on Box Office Mojo by IMDB and are for the original US release. For comparisons the dollars have been adjusted for inflation to 2024 dollars.  Top 5 Box Office Receipts: Year Box Office 2024 $ #1 Release 2018 $11.8B $14.8 Black Panther 2016 $11.4 $15.0 Finding Dory 2019 $11.4 $14.1 Avengers:Endgame 2015 $11.1 $14.8 Jurassic World 2017 $11.0 $14.2 Star Wars: Episode VIII - The Last Jedi Last Five Years Box Office Receipts: Year Box Office 2024 $ #1 Release 2024 $8.5 $8.5 Inside Out 2023 $8.9 $9.2 Barbie 2022 $7.4 $8.0 Top Gun: Maverick 2021 $4.5 $5.2 Spider-Man: No Way Home 2020 $2.1 $2.56 Bad Boys for Life   Highest Receipts when adjusted for Inflation:  Year Box Office 2024 $ #1 Release 2010 $10.6 $15.4 Avatar (Number 1 Grossing movie of all time) 2009 $10.6 $15.4 Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen   Original Star Wars: 1977 $443M $2.4B Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope 1980 $1,6 $6.1 Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back 1983 $2.7 $8.6 Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi   All Numbers below are for the original Release: Avatar - (2010) $750M  (2024)  $1.1B  Avatar (Worldwide) -  (2010) $2.7B (2024) $3.9B Top Gun: Maverick - (2022) $719M (2024) $775M Top Gun: Maverick (Worldwide) - (2022) $1.5B (2024) $1.6B Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope - (1977) 307M (2024) $1.6B Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope (Worldwide) - (1977) 775M* (2024) $4.0B Box Office Mojo did not have worldwide numbers. We used the-numbers for this value. Inflation Adjusted US Domestic Box Office for the last 25 years:  Summary: In the late 1990s and early 2000s, the box office experienced significant growth, with yearly receipts reaching new heights. For instance, in 2002, domestic box office revenues hit a peak of approximately $16 billion when adjusted for inflation.  Since then, total box office receipts have fluctuated, especially reacting to global events, such as the 2008 financial crisis, which led to a decrease in consumer spending on entertainment. The last two decades have seen a dominance of comic book adaptations and franchise films (e.g., Marvel Cinematic Universe, Star Wars, etc.) at the box office. These films often dominate annual box office charts, with some grossing over a billion dollars domestically. Sequels, remakes, and adaptations became staples as studios sought safe investments. The trend has been reinforced by the success of properties with established fan bases. The rise of streaming services (Netflix, Disney+, etc.) has changed how audiences consume films, often leading to decreased box office attendance for certain genres, particularly dramas and non-franchise films. The pandemic and writers strike severely impacted the film industry, with theaters closing and productions halting. The domestic box office fell dramatically in 2020. This decline prompted many studios to rethink release strategies, leading to more simultaneous releases on streaming platforms. Post-pandemic, there has been a gradual recovery, with some films performing exceptionally well, while smaller films continue to face challenges in recapturing pre-pandemic audience levels.

Follow our The Best Idea Yet, our 2nd podcast series, to get episodes like this every week:https://wondery.com/links/the-best-idea-yet/ Chances are you've got a bottle of Sriracha chilling in your fridge right now, but have no idea who invented it — and the spicy story of how he did it. Entrepreneur David Tran fled Vietnam in the late 70s, smuggling gold bars into the US to start his venture - selling hot sauce out of a van. Little did he know his thick, spicy red jalapeño concoction would make him the world's first hot sauce billionaire… without ever spending a single dollar on advertising (FYI: Kraft dropped $750M on marketing alone in 2023). For over 40 years, David's stayed laser-focused on making “a rich man's sauce at a poor man's price.” But when massive pepper shortages threatened the entire business, he faced a choice more painful than Tabasco on a paper cut. Find out how David puts “Co's before Pro's” (customers before profits)...and why Sriracha is the best idea yet.Spotify Poll:Best Dish to Spice Up With Sriracha?Pho, Scrambled Eggs, Fried Rice, Burritos, Pizza, Ice Cream, Sriracha… on SrirachaGET ON THE POD: Submit a shoutout or fact: https://tboypod.com/shoutouts FOR MORE NICK & JACK: Newsletter: https://tboypod.com/newsletter Connect with Nick: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nicolas-martell/ Connect with Jack: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jack-crivici-kramer/ SOCIALS:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tboypod TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@tboypodSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Then, the latest ‘Call of Duty' adds to its money-making franchise but this time, it's the first major game to test the success of Microsoft's acquisition of Activision Blizzard. Plus, California Governor Gavin Newsom proposes doubling its film tax incentive as it tries to win back Hollywood to make more productions at home.

He's back! Nima Wedlake, Managing Director at ThomVest Ventures, about the current state of Proptech and the themes he is tracking for 2024. We focused on an essay Nima penned, covering several topics including control point software, AI's impact on construction productivity, and the rise of home services businesses. Nima discusses the challenges and opportunities in scaling tech-enabled service businesses and the potential of AI in the construction industry. The conversation also touches on the impact of COVID-19 on real estate tech investments and the future of venture capital in the space. We also explore the role of real estate agents in a changing market and the impact of technology on the industry (spoiler: uncertainty exists, but so will the agent). More about Nima and Thomvest VenturesNima has published his 2024 proptech themes and would love to discuss them with you. Here is the link to the full report: https://blog.thomvest.com/real-estate-technology-themes-were-tracking-in-2024-124a5280c3ddBelow is a very quick overview of the three key themes that will play a dominant role in 2024 for Nima.“Control point” software businesses in real estate: These crucial systems are core to how businesses operate and are difficult to displace. Three strategies for new entrants to compete in this space include targeting new customer segments, building value around existing control points, and selling complete tasks or processes instead of just software tools.AI's impact on construction productivity: There is growing excitement around startups focused on using AI in various aspects of construction, from pre-development analysis and permitting automation to design cycle shortening and physical robot automation on construction sites.Residential real estate in a post-NAR world: Following the NAR settlement on residential real estate, lower commissions may lead to agents seeking efficiency measures and could pose challenges for existing real estate companies, while also creating opportunities for innovation and competition in the industry.Nima Wedlake is a Managing Director at Thomvest Ventures, focusing on investment opportunities across the real estate & financial technology verticals. He spearheaded Thomvest's investments in Baselane, Blend, Glide (acquired by Compass), Keyway, Maxwell, Mynd, Obie, Pine & Tala. Thomvest Ventures is a San Francisco-based $750M evergreen venture capital fund by Peter Thomson (Thomson Reuters). Follow Nima on TwitterConnect with Nima on LinkedInCheck out Thomvest

Like many organizations, Open Philanthropy has had multiple founding moments. Depending on how you count, we will be either seven, ten, or thirteen years old this year. Regardless of when you start the clock, it's possible that we've changed more in the last two years than over our full prior history. We've more than doubled the size of our team (to ~110), nearly doubled our annual giving (to >$750M), and added five new program areas. As our track record and volume of giving have grown, we are seeing more of our impact in the world. Across our focus areas, our funding played a (sometimes modest) role in some of 2023's most important developments: We were among the supporters of the clinical trials that led to the World Health Organization (WHO) officially recommending the R21 malaria vaccine.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Open Philanthropy: Our Progress in 2023 and Plans for 2024, published by Alexander Berger on March 27, 2024 on The Effective Altruism Forum. Like many organizations, Open Philanthropy has had multiple founding moments. Depending on how you count, we will be either seven, ten, or thirteen years old this year. Regardless of when you start the clock, it's possible that we've changed more in the last two years than over our full prior history. We've more than doubled the size of our team (to ~110), nearly doubled our annual giving (to >$750M), and added five new program areas. As our track record and volume of giving have grown, we are seeing more of our impact in the world. Across our focus areas, our funding played a (sometimes modest) role in some of 2023's most important developments: We were among the supporters of the clinical trials that led to the World Health Organization (WHO) officially recommending the R21 malaria vaccine. This is the second malaria vaccine recommended by WHO, which expects it to enable "sufficient vaccine supply to benefit all children living in areas where malaria is a public health risk." Although the late-stage clinical trial funding was Open Philanthropy's first involvement with R21 research, that isn't the case for our new global health R&D program officer, Katharine Collins, who invented R21 as a grad student. Our early commitment to AI safety has contributed to increased awareness of the associated risks and to early steps to reduce them. The Center for AI Safety, one of our AI grantees, made headlines across the globe with its statement calling for AI extinction risk to be a "global priority alongside other societal-scale risks," signed by many of the world's leading AI researchers and experts. Other grantees contributed to many of the year's other big AI policy events, including the UK's AI Safety Summit, the US executive order on AI, and the first International Dialogue on AI Safety, which brought together scientists from the US and China to lay the foundations for future cooperation on AI risk (à la the Pugwash Conferences in support of nuclear disarmament). The US Supreme Court upheld California's Proposition 12, the nation's strongest farm animal welfare law. We were major supporters of the original initiative and helped fund its successful legal defense. Our grantees in the YIMBY ("yes in my backyard") movement - which works to increase the supply of housing in order to lower prices and rents - helped drive major middle housing reforms in Washington state and California's legislation streamlining the production of affordable and mixed-income housing. We've been the largest national funder of the YIMBY movement since 2015. We've also encountered some notable challenges over the last couple of years. Our available assets fell by half and then recovered half their losses. The FTX Future Fund, a large funder in several of our focus areas, including pandemic prevention and AI risks, collapsed suddenly and left a sizable funding gap in those areas. And Holden Karnofsky - my friend, co-founder, and our former CEO stepped down to work full-time on AI safety. Throughout these changes, we've remained devoted to our mission of helping others as much as we can with the resources available to us. But it's a good time to step back and reflect. The rest of this post covers: Brief updates on grantmaking from each of our 12 programs. Our leadership changes over the past year. Our chaotic macro environment over the last couple of years. How that led us to revise our priorities, and specifically to expand our work to reduce global catastrophic risks. Other lessons we learned over the past year. Our plans for the rest of 2024. Because it feels like we have more to share this year, this post is longer and aims to share more than I have the last two...

This week, we're joined by Cheryl Kellond, a trailblazing serial entrepreneur and investor with a track record of success in Silicon Valley. Cheryl has shipped over $750M in Version 1 products at startups and brands before founding her first startup. Her 2nd startup was a healthcare fintech where she raised $17M in Venture Capital funding and grew to $10M in annual revenue before exiting in 2021.Her latest endeavor, Play Money, combines the addictive engagement of TikTok with the savvy investment opportunities of AngelList. It's a game-changer in the world of startup investing, democratizing access by empowering everyday people to invest in early-stage companies through the retirement investment accounts (IRA). Angel investing, Cheryl explains, isn't just for millionaires.Cheryl sees angel investing as a catalyst for learning, networking, and shaping the future. By bringing people together around shared investment opportunities, Play Money isn't just a platform—it's a community, empowering the next generation of investors to make their mark on the startup world.Cheryl's mission extends beyond financial gains. She's challenging outdated norms in entrepreneurship, urging us to rethink how we talk about gender and inclusion in the startup world. For Cheryl, women are not the exception—they're the norm, and it's time we start treating them as such.

Une fonctionnalité permettant de rédiger ses textes de statuts avec un assistant IA.Ca devait arriver.Comment ça marche ?

As power shifts from institutions to individuals, creators have a unique opportunity to build enterprise empires in their niches. To make this happen, creators often need the help of outside investors, including venture capital firms (VCs).  In this episode, Megan Lightcap, Principal at Slow Ventures, walks us through the thought process of VC investors, explaining the unique dynamics of funding creator businesses. She shares why VC investment firms are strategically investing in creator businesses. She also delves into the strategies, insights, and considerations that VCs have when evaluating and investing in the ever-evolving creator economy. Megan highlights the untapped possibilities for creators to identify and capitalize on white space opportunities. She shares how creators can leverage their loyal followings and insider knowledge to make substantial industry impacts with the help of VC investors. Show Notes: Here are the key takeaways from our conversation with Megan: Maximize Your Unique Industry Position:Megan spotlights the inherent advantages creators have in areas such as consumer product goods (CPGs). By having early retail distribution and avoiding the initial hurdles of brand awareness, creators can uniquely position themselves in the market. Megan emphasizes the significance of authentic audience engagement over merely securing endorsement deals. Creators have the unique ability to identify white space opportunities and pivot toward industries where they can leverage their embedded distribution and industry knowledge. Capitalize on Your Community: Megan discusses the power of creators to transform their loyal followings into thriving enterprises. By leveraging personal brands, creators have the unique opportunity to bypass traditional hurdles in pathways such as retail distribution. Megan shares how VC funding frees creators to strategically invest time and resources into their personal brand, enabling them to step back from day-to-day content creation without sacrificing their business's growth. Structure for Flexibility and Growth with the Top Co Model: Megan advocates for investing in top cos as a strategic way for creators to access funding while retaining flexibility. This approach, which involves creating a top holding company with various underlying projects, provides the benefit of separating the creative aspects from the business opportunities. Megan shares how creators and COOs interested in VC funding can position themselves for investment in a way that still allows for experimentation and growth.

Drumroll please…today's guest is Terence Reilly, president of TikTok's favorite water bottle brand, Stanley 1913. While the brand went mega-viral in November for replacing a woman's car after her Stanley cup survived a fire, it's enjoyed remarkable growth over the last few years, jumping from $70M in annual revenue in 2020 to $750M in 2023. We start the episode by unpacking Stanley's explosive growth in recent years, and Terence explains why he has a bias for action. Of course, we then dive into the brand's decision to buy Danielle a new car, and Terence shares why he believes more brands can—and should—take similar action. Next, we take a step back and discuss how the 110-year-old brand appealed to a new consumer base by repositioning from “male, green, and hot” to “female, colorful, and cold,” thanks largely to early endorsements from The Buy Guide and Terence's learnings from his time as CMO at Crocs. Terence then discusses the brand's increased investment in building out its community of consumers and social media advocates, and reveals how Stanley's rapid rise in popularity allowed the business to expand beyond DTC and take up entire walls of shelf-space at top retailers. We learn about Terence's approach to collaborations with other brands and creators, like Post Malone x Crocs and Stanley x Lainey Wilson, before hearing his guiding principles to brand building and leadership—and whether he wants to continue being the face of Stanley.
