On this episode of Next Level CRE, Matt Faircloth interviews Paul Moore. Paul shares his remarkable journey from selling his first company and chasing “shiny objects” that left him $2.5M in debt, to giving his way out during the 2008 crash, and eventually pivoting into real estate. He explains why multifamily wasn't the “perfect investment,” how Wellings Capital now focuses on fund-of-funds strategies using Pareto's principle to back only top-tier operators, and why diversification across operators, geographies, and asset classes is key. Paul also highlights how private equity firms vet operators, what passives should know about due diligence (including NOI audits), and how Wellings has raised over $800K to fight human trafficking through AIM Paul Moore Current role: Founder & Managing Partner, Wellings Capital Based in: Lynchburg, Virginia Say hi to them at: LinkedIn| Wellings Capital| AIM Free Get 50% Off Monarch Money, the all-in-one financial tool at www.monarchmoney.com with code BESTEVER Join the Best Ever Community The Best Ever Community is live and growing - and we want serious commercial real estate investors like you inside.

Meghan Markle's loser show returns to Netflix, Minnesota mass shooting, Will Smith's AI failure, the return of Borgwardt, evil Ellen DeGeneres, and Corey Feldman v. Monster Trucks. The Kelce brothers New Heights show is now the #1 podcast in the world following Taylor Swift's appearance. BranDon declares Travis ‘played out'. The prenup will be interesting. Kayla Nicole is clapping her trap. She's busy cleaning up dog diarrhea. List – The 25 most influential creators of 2025. How many do you know? There was another mass shooting today, this time at a Catholic School Mass in Minnesota. Robin (formally Robert) Westman was the perpetrator. We watch Meghan Markle pretend to like Chrissy Teigen on her show “With Love, Meghan”. We laugh at more Corey Feldman antics. He was once almost killed by monster trucks. He also made Dana Plato's death all about him. Ellen DeGeneres remains a bully. Mickey Rourke is unrecognizable and living in a small, sloppy house. Where is Matt Dillon? Brad Pitt finally speaks. Hugh Jackman vs Deborra-Lee Furness. BranDon's neighbor is back in the news and really wants some of billionaire David Geffen's money. Kilmar Ábrego García remains a political pawn. Cracker Barrel admits failure. Fast food is getting pretty damn expensive. Lyla eats hamburgers. India is slapped with tariffs because of Russia Elton John and Celine Dion serenade a frail Neil Diamond. Will Smith is using AI to make it look like people like his music. The Minnesota woman who dropped n-bombs at an 8-year-old is charged with misdemeanors. Maybe she'll raise another $800K. Ryan Borgwardt gets 3 months in jail for faking his death and being a borgwardt.

In this episode, we kick things off with the hidden cost of friendship — turns out, staying social could be costing you over $250 a month in brunches, happy hours, and birthday dinners. Then we get into dating finances, where new data shows men are spending $15,000 more per year in relationships, largely driven by lingering provider expectations. How much is your man spending on you? Dex brings us a shocking story out of Brooklyn: a man lost his fully paid-off $800K home over a $5K water bill. She also shares a personal horror story about the hidden traps and predatory fines cities can hit you with as a property owner. Carla wraps things up with the story of Khloé Kardashian stepping in as primary caregiver for Tristan Thompson's younger brother, Amari.

Max Keiser just dropped his boldest Bitcoin projection yet: $800,000 this cycle is guaranteed. “Bitcoin has no ceiling because fiat has no floor. In US dollar terms, the price of Bitcoin, because it's demonetizing gold, is headed for $800,000 in this cycle. Wall Street needs Bitcoin. Bitcoin doesn't need Wall Street.” With nation-states like the Philippines and Brazil drafting Bitcoin reserve bills, and institutions quietly stacking BTC at record pace, Keiser's call may be the most accurate blueprint for hyperbitcoinization yet.

Quote of the Day: "I was 41, unemployed, we'd lost $800,000.

TJ Romans didn't just sell $800,000 in plumbing work last year—he installed it, too. That kind of performance doesn't come from pressure tactics or slick sales lines. It comes from trust, education, and a clear process that empowers homeowners to say yes with confidence. In this episode, TJ breaks down exactly how he earns that trust—and consistently turns routine calls into big-ticket installs. You'll learn how he: Sold and installed $800K in plumbing by keeping it simple and putting the homeowner first Navigates high-risk stoppage calls with a single sentence that protects both him and the company Uses inspections as an educational moment—not a scare tactic—and builds options around what homeowners care about Handles objections with empathy, especially on calls involving remodeled bathrooms or builder-grade fixtures Structures his calls by focusing first on what the customer noticed—then smoothly introduces additional value Builds urgency the right way—backed by visuals, facts, and clear explanations Avoids chasing every potential upgrade and instead controls the call with purpose TJ also shares how he mentally resets after tough calls, stays consistent with his approach, and trains newer techs to focus on the long game—not the quick close. This isn't a high-pressure sales training—it's a real conversation with a high-performing technician who genuinely wants to help people. And that mindset? It sells. If you're in plumbing sales—or manage people who are—this is the kind of episode that can change your approach for the better.

It suggests that by avoiding direct confrontation in areas where the enemy expects you and instead striking where they are unprepared, you can gain a significant advantage. This, combined with swift action, allows for the element of surprise and can overwhelm the opponent. Avoiding predictable patterns and exploiting the enemy's weaknesses. It means understanding their deployments, intentions, and potential vulnerabilities, then positioning your forces to attack where they are least prepared.

Today we dive into the incredible journey of our guest, who has managed to secure over $800,000 in government contracts within just six months. Our guest, who's already a successful entrepreneur, highlights the importance of understanding your target audience's needs, and shares how the federal government provided invaluable insights into what they want and how they want it. The journey began with a commitment to consistency – waking up at 7 AM every day, putting in 40-hour weeks, and treating contract hunting as a full-time job.

Throughout this episode, we uncover the power of consistency and discipline, drawing parallels to the mindset of legends like Kobe Bryant, who put in extra hours of practice to excel. From pre-work to post-award success, our guest's story reveals the importance of knowing your audience, seizing government contracts, and maintaining a disciplined work ethic. So, whether you're an aspiring entrepreneur or looking to expand your business, join us as we unpack the lessons from this remarkable journey.

We're running another ACX Grants round! If you already know what this is and just want to apply for a grant, use the form here (should take 15 - 30 minutes), deadline August 15. If you already know what this is and want to help as a funder, VC, partner charity, evaluator, or friendly professional, click the link for the relevant form, same deadline. Otherwise see below for more information. What is ACX Grants? ACX Grants is a microgrants program that helps fund ACX readers' charitable or scientific projects. Click the links to see the 2022 and 2024 cohorts. The program is conducted in partnership with Manifund, a charity spinoff of Manifold Markets, who handle the administrative/infrastructure side of things. How much money is involved? I plan to contribute $200K. I expect (but cannot guarantee) an additional $800K from other donors, for a total of about $1 million. Most grants will probably be between $5,000 and $50,000, with a rare few up to $100,000. Depending on how much external donor interest there is, we will probably give between 10 and 50 grants. What's the catch? There's no catch, but this year we plan to experiment with replacing some grants with SAFEs, and others with convertible grants. That means that if you're a startup, we (ACX Grants as an nonprofit institution, not me personally) get some claim to future equity if you succeed. If you're not a startup, you'll sign an agreement saying that if your project ever becomes a startup, then we'll get the equity claim. We're still working on the exact details of this agreement, but we intend to have pretty standard terms and err in the favorable-to-you direction; obviously we'll show you the final agreement before you sign anything. We're doing this because some of our previous grantees became valuable companies, and it seems foolish to leave that money on the table when we could be capturing it and reinvesting it into future grants rounds. Please don't let this affect your decision to apply. Our top priority remains charity, and we'll continue to select grantees based on their philanthropic value and not on their likelihood of making us money. If you're not a startup and don't plan to become one, none of this should affect you. And if you have a good reason not to want to sign these agreements - including “I'm not savvy enough to know what this means and it makes me nervous” - then we're happy to opt you out of them. What's the timeline? We'd like to have grants awarded by October 1 and money in your hands by November 1. This is a goal, not a promise. What will the application process be like? You fill out a form that should take 15 - 30 minutes. If we have questions, an evaluator might email or call you, in a way that hopefully won't take more than another 15 - 30 minutes of your time to answer. If you win a grant, Manifund will send you the money, probably by bank wire. Every few years, we might ask you to fill out another 15 - 30 minute form letting us know how your project is doing. What kind of projects might you fund? There are already lots of good charities that help people directly at scale, for example Against Malaria Foundation (which distributes malaria-preventing bed nets) and GiveDirectly (which gives money directly to very poor people in Africa). These are hard to beat. We're most interested in charities that pursue novel ways to change complex systems, either through technological breakthroughs, new social institutions, or targeted political change. Among the projects we've funded in the past were: Development of oxfendazole, a drug for treating parasitic worms in developing countries. A platform that lets people create prediction markets on topics of their choice A trip to Nigeria for college students researching lead poisoning prevention. A group of lawyers who sue factory farms under animal cruelty laws. Development of software that helps the FDA run better drug trials. A startup building anti-mosquito drones to fight tropical disease A guide for would-be parents on which IVF clinics have the highest successful rate of successful implantation. A university lab working on artificial kidneys You can read the full list here and here, and the most recent updates from each project here. Is there anything good about winning an ACX Grant other than getting money? You'll get my support, which is mostly useful in getting me to blog about your project. For example, I can put out updates or requests for help on Open Threads. I can also try to help connect you to people I know. Some people who won ACX Grants last year were able to leverage the attention to attract larger grantmakers or VCs. You can try to pitch me guest posts about your project. This could be a description of what you're doing and why, or just a narrative about your experience and what you learned from it. Warning that I'm terrible to pitch guest posts to, I almost never go through with this, and I'm very nitpicky when I do. Still, you can try. We're working on gathering a network of friendly professionals who agree to provide pro bono or heavily discounted support (eg legal, accounting, business advice, cloud compute) to ACX grantees. We've only just begun this process and it might not actually materialize. There are occasional virtual and physical meetups of ACX grantees; these don't always result in Important Professional Connections, but are pretty interesting. What if I want those nonfinancial benefits for my project, but don't need money? Apply for a grant of $1. But we're pretty nervous about giving very-low-cost grants because it's too easy to accept all of them and dilute our signaling value; for this reason, it might be harder to get a grant of $1 than a grant of $5,000, and we expect these to make up only 0 - 10% of our cohort. You might be better off coming up with some expansion of your project that takes $5,000 and applying for that. What are the tax implications of an ACX Grant? Consult your accountant, especially if you live outside the US. If you live inside the US, we think it's ordinary taxable income. If you're an individual, you'll have to pay taxes on it at your usual tax rate. If you're a 501(c), you'll get your normal level of tax exemption. I want to fund you, how can I help? For bureaucratic reasons, we're currently looking for donations mostly in the $5,000+ range. If that's you, fill out the Funder Application Form. If we've already talked about this over email, you don't need to fill out the form, but we encourage you to do so anyway so we know more about your interests and needs. What's the story behind why you have $200K to spend on grants every year, but are still asking for more funding? Some generous readers sent me crypto during the crypto boom, or advised me on buying crypto, or asked to purchase NFTs of my post for crypto. Some of the crypto went up. Then I reinvested it into AI stocks, and those went up too. I think of this as unearned money and want to give some of it back to the community, hence this grants program. I have a lot of it but not an unlimited amount. At the current rate, I can probably afford another ~5 ACX Grants rounds. When it runs out, I‘ll just be a normal person with normal amounts of money (Substack is great, but not great enough for me to afford this level of donation consistently). My hope is that I can keep making these medium-sized donations, other people can add more to the pot, and we'll be able to drag this out at least five more rounds, after which point maybe we'll come up with another plan. I'm a VC, how can I help? Some of our applicants are potentially-profitable startups, and we decide they're a better match for VC funding than for our grants. If you're willing to look these over and get in touch with any that seem interesting, fill out the VC Application Form. It will ask for more information on what kind of opportunities you're interested in funding. I'm a philanthropist or work at a philanthropic foundation; how can I help? Some of our applicants are good projects, but not a good match for us, and we want to shop them around to other philanthropists and charities who might have different strengths or be able to work with larger amounts of money. If that's you, please fill out the Partner Charity Application Form I'm good at evaluating grants, or an expert in some specific field; how can I help? If you have experience as a grantmaker or VC, or you're an expert in some technical field, you might be able to help us evaluate proposals. Fill out the Evaluator Application Form. By default we expect you'll want us to send you one or two grants in your area of expertise, but if you want a challenge you can request more. If we've already talked about this over email, you don't need to fill out the form, but we encourage you to do so anyway so I know more about your interests and needs. We expect to get more volunteers than we need, and most people who fill in the evaluator form won't get contacted unless we need someone from their specific field. I'm a professional who wants to do pro bono work for cool charities, how can I help? Fill out the Friendly Professional Application Form. If we get enough applicants, we'll compile them into a directory for our grantees. I participated in the Impact Certificate Market last year, did you forget about me? Yes until Austin Chen reminded me last month No! Request final oracular funding by filling in the Impact Applicant Form. Sorry, I forgot, where do I go to apply for a grant again? See form here. Please apply by 11:59 PM on August 15th. https://www.astralcodexten.com/p/apply-for-an-acx-grant-2025

Smart Agency Masterclass with Jason Swenk: Podcast for Digital Marketing Agencies
Would you like access to our advanced agency training for FREE? https://www.agencymastery360.com/training Let's get real. If you're stacking your agency's foundation on $20/month AI tools, congrats—you're in the honeymoon phase. But don't confuse cheap for stable. This ain't gonna last. We're in the Uber moment of AI. Remember those $3 rides in 2015? Promo codes flying like candy? Everyone thought, “This is amazing.” Then BOOM—same ride today costs $30, and you don't blink. Why? Because they normalized the spend. AI is doing the same damn thing right now. The Calm Before the Price Surge I was chatting with an agency owner the other week—four-person team doing the work of twenty. She's saving close to $800K in salary using AI. Impressive? Hell yeah. But also? Fragile. Because when AI replaces two full-time employees, it's not going to stay cheaper than lunch forever. These platforms are buying loyalty today so they can raise rates tomorrow. And when they do, the agencies who built real systems will survive while the rest scrambles. Automation Without Documentation = Fragile AF Here's the trap I see all over the place: Agencies getting lean and mean with automation… but not documenting jack. So when a tool changes, prices spike, or a platform shifts—what happens? They're rebuilding from scratch. Again. Smart operators are using AI to build leverage, not just save time. And they're documenting the whole playbook outside the tools. Prompts. Logic. Decisions. Workflows. Everything. Because they know when OpenAI changes the rules (and they will), they'll just pivot—without panic. 3-Phase AI Survival Plan (That Actually Makes You Money) Phase 1: Audit + Adapt List every AI tool you use. Ask: “If this cost 10x tomorrow, what breaks?” Document your workflows without AI. Don't skip this. You're looking for landmines now, so you're not surprised later. Phase 2: Build AI-Augmented IP Productize one service using AI—but don't lean on it 100%. Build templates based on your brain, not just the bot's. Train your agents and save the training outside the tool. Think like a software company, not a freelancer with ChatGPT. Phase 3: Future-Proof Your Value Sharpen your skills. AI is smart, but notstrategic. Build one offer that works with zero automation. Stay close to smart operators. This is a gold rush. Don't go it solo. This Isn't Anti-AI. It's Pro-Sanity. AI is a tool. It's not your team. It's not your strategy. And it's definitely not your moat. Use it. Document it. But don't depend on it. Because when the rules change—and they will—the agencies that built real systems and resilient IP will still be standing. Want a plan to build smarter leverage in your agency? Check out the Agency Playbook. It's the 8-system framework we've used to help agency owners like Derek Champagne scale from 7- to 8-figures in under a year.

This past week Senator Lindsey Graham made an $800,000 trip to Ukraine, by some reports his ninth such trip in the last decade. In this trip, as in others, Graham has promised continued US support for Ukraine in its now 11th year of war with Russia. Graham's arrival came during a period in which the United States was actively attempting to broker a ceasefire between the two warring nations. Contrary to the purpose of a ceasefire, the day after his arrival in Ukraine, that nation launched a massive drone attack on Russia, destroying at least 7 and perhaps as many 40 of Russia's long-range strategic bombers (their version of America's B-52s).Is Graham committing violations of the Logan Act, first made law in 1799, and looking at three years in federal prison? Or is Graham merely supporting the “good guys” in the Ukraine-Russia war? What's the proper filter through which the average American citizen should view his nation's involvement in this never-ending warfare on the other side of the world?

If you've ever asked, “What kind of support do I actually need right now?” you're not alone. In this episode, I walk through the key differences between coaching, courses, masterminds, and membership sites. You'll learn how to choose what fits your business stage, learning style, and goals as a nonprofit consultant. Here's what to expect: • When 1:1 coaching, group coaching, or subcontracting makes the most sense • Why I don't recommend masterminds for beginners, and when they truly work • The difference between learning and implementing • How to think about ROI in three ways: immediate, compounding, and future • Why sometimes the smartest investment isn't a program at all You don't need more noise. You need support that fits.
This one's for the marketers, brand builders, and business leaders still clinging to yesterday's playbook. In this high-energy keynote and raw Q&A from the POSSIBLE conference, I'm throwing punches—at outdated marketing models, bloated ad budgets, and the creative delusion plaguing our industry.We're in the Interest Media era now. Organic creative IS the strategy. If you're not over-investing in social content, you're being outflanked by companies that didn't exist a year ago.No more disguising bad creative with fat media buys. In 2025, if it doesn't hit organically, you don't spend a dollar promoting it. Period.
