Friday, 12 August 2022   So he was with them at Jerusalem, coming in and going out. Acts 9:28   The previous verse saw Barnabas defending Saul, noting how he had preached boldly at Damascus in the name of Jesus. Barnabas' words were obviously effective, because it next says of Saul, “So he was with them at Jerusalem.”   In other words, the word of Barnabas was sufficient to convince them that Paul was no longer a threat but rather a true brother in Christ and a defender of the faith. As such, Luke notes that Saul was “coming in and going out.”   The words mean he had freedom of access among the believers. As noted, only Peter was there as an apostle along with James the Lord's brother. Any disciples that were there came to accept that Paul was truly converted and so Paul's going out and coming in was as a member of a family. Also, Galatians 1:18 notes that this time in Jerusalem lasted for fifteen days. The reason for such a short visit will be explained in the verses to come.   Life application: Barnabas' words of recommendation for Paul were sufficient to convince Peter and James that he was converted. From there, he was accepted. On the other hand, if someone were to bring a charge against another, the Bible requires two or three witnesses. The testimony of one is not sufficient.   This is important to remember because people may have an agenda, they may get angry at others, hurt by others, or simply have a misunderstanding with others. In this, it is easy to make a charge against someone that is untrue. Accepting a false charge from one person can cause permanent damage and it can even divide an entire church. Remember this and never allow a root of bitterness to arise within the church. Be sure there is suitable proof of a matter before you accept the words of anyone.   Lord God, we pray for peace in our congregations as we come together to worship You. If there is someone with an ax to grind, we pray that their false charges not become a point of division. Help us to weed out that which is untrue so that we can fellowship in joy with those we meet together with. To Your glory, we pray. Amen.

Shaming was a way for people in the past to look at those with excess body fat. Excess body fat on people is now considered normal and accepted as a part of normal health and life. The same is happening with our horses. Today, most people want extra fat on their horses and consider this a sign of health. But is excess body fat healthy? Do we see excess body fat on healthy, thriving older people or horses? The excess body fat represents the body's efficiency in storing excess calorie consumption for use later when calories are not available. The mechanism for doing this is complex, but the efficiency comes from generations of improvement through genetics. However, what complicates this is the abundance of readily available food sources every day of the year. The consequence of this is the storage of overabundant fuel as body fat. Everything is working perfectly for the future ice age several thousand years from now when the thin horse will die sooner than the fat horse. As long as there isn't an ice age, the thin horse will survive and thrive longer than the fat horse because the downside of excess body fat is the propensity for unsoundness and illness. Fat horses don't thrive while the food remains available. In this podcast, I review why it is important to reduce body fat and increase protein intake to help our horses thrive in a human world.

Are you convinced that if you just accept your current body, you will never lose weight and you'll just keep gaining and gaining? Well this episode is for you because I am going to share with you how the sooner you can accept exactly how your body is, the more success you're going to have at being comfortable and at ease in that body.

Accepting Where You Are Acceptance of life and its ups and downs is hard. It's normal to want things in life. We all want to be successful, happy, and healthy. But what if we could learn how to accept ourselves and others? What if we could learn how to accept situations that don't go our way? It might sound like an impossible feat at first glance, but the truth is that accepting life as it comes is one of the most important aspects of being happy. If you can master this skill, you will discover a freedom unlike any other—and it starts with learning how to accept yourself. The Power Of Acceptance Acceptance is a process. It's not something you can just snap your fingers and do. For example, if you've been trying to quit smoking cigarettes for years, it's not going to happen overnight. You have to take one day at a time until you reach your goal. Acceptance is also a choice! In other words, when someone says they feel like they have no choice but to accept something or someone in their life that they don't like (whether it's their physical appearance or having an annoying neighbour), what they're really saying is that they don't want anything different than what already exists right. It doesn't mean that we should just put up with stuff at all, but we can accept things and look for a better way of seeing them – putting a positive spin on an otherwise difficult situation. This helps us live our lives free from worry or stress so we can focus more on enjoying ourselves instead of stressing out over things beyond our control such as traffic jams caused by construction sites everywhere!”

India Policy Watch #1: Futility Of Fighting Lies Insights on burning policy issues in India— RSJI have been following the case of Mohammed Zubair, the co-founder of the fact-checking site Alt News with interest. He was granted interim bail by the Supreme Court a couple of weeks back. You can read more about the story here. I border on free speech absolutism, so my opinion on this case, as with many other similar cases in India, is simple. No one should be jailed for any speech unless they are violating Mill’s harm principle. In his essay On Liberty, Mill wrote:“That principle is, that the sole end for which mankind is warranted, individually or collectively, in interfering with the liberty of action of any of their number, is self-protection. That the only purpose for which power can be rightfully exercised over any member of a civilized community, against his will, is to prevent harm to others. His own good, either physical or moral, is not a sufficient warrant.”But free speech is not the only reason I have brought up the case of Mohammed Zubair here. The case illustrates a point I have made before in this newsletter: while countering lies with fact checks is a noble, worthwhile endeavour, it means nothing in an environment where people are intoxicated with half-truths and grand illusions about a ‘real’ past or an ‘imagined’ future.A few years back, I came across this wonderful essay ‘Monopolize the Pretty Lies’ by Bryan Caplan. While I understood it back then, reading it again now is insightful. Caplan writes:What then is the primary purpose of censorship?  It’s not to suppress the truth – which has little mass appeal anyway.  The primary purpose of censorship is to monopolize the pretty lies.  Only the powers-that-be can freely make absurdly self-aggrandizing claims. Human beings like to say – and think – whatever superficially sounds good.  Strict censorship allows rulers to exploit this deep mental flaw.  If no one else can make absurd lies, a trite slogan like, “Let’s unite to fight for a fantastic future!” carries great force.  Truthful critics would have to make crowd-displeasing objections like, “Maybe competition will bring us a brighter future than unity,” “Who exactly are we fighting?,” or “Precisely how fantastic of a future are we talking about?”  A rather flaccid bid for power!  Existing rulers tremble far more when rebels bellow, “Join us to fight for a fantastic future!”This is why I think this case won’t go anywhere. It will fizzle out here because fact-checkers don’t really matter. What will matter is if there is a counter-narrative based on dubious claims of an equally fantastic future. It explains why AAP is seen as a credible threat by the BJP.Caplan ends his essay with a rather pessimistic view of free speech:Doesn’t this imply that free speech is overrated?  Yes; I’ve said so before.  While I’d like to believe that free speech leads naturally to the triumph of truth, I see little sign of this.  Instead, politics looks to me like a Great Liars’ War.  Viable politicians defy literal truth in virtually every sentence.  They defy it with hyperbole.  They defy it with overconfidence.  They defy it with wishful thinking.  Dictators try to make One Big Political Lie mandatory.  Free speech lets a Thousand Political Lies Bloom.Yes, freedom of speech lets me make these dour observations without fear. I’m grateful for that.  Yet outside my Bubble, dour observations fall on deaf ears.  Psychologically normal humans crave pretty lies, so the Great Liars’ War never ends.I guess once you’ve gotten into the chakravyuha of the Mahabharata of lies, there’s no way of getting out. You will only find an avalanche of prettier lies from all sides engulfing you in future. India Policy Watch #2: Nature Of Representation Insights on burning policy issues in India— RSJDroupadi Murmu, the NDA presidential nominee, was elected as the 15th President of India a couple of weeks back. Murmu, a tribal leader from Mayurbhanj, Odisha, had earlier served as the governor of Jharkhand. That a woman from a historically marginalised section of the society now occupies the highest constitutional post is a moment to celebrate in the 75th year of Indian independence. It shows a kind of deepening of democracy. This is because we associate democracy with representation. It was no surprise therefore that a lot of opinion pieces reflected this sentiment while talking about her. Here’s Aditi Narayani Paswan writing for the Indian Express:“Droupadi Murmu is not just a source of inspiration for us; her life and struggle, determination and success in the face of great odds represent the hope and promise of New India.Under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Indian democracy has become more representative and inclusive. The BJP represents the New India of prosperity, equality and socio-economic mobility, reflecting the true embodiment of samajik samarasta (social harmony). A tribal woman succeeding a Dalit to the highest constitutional post of the nation is a remarkable testimony to the deepening roots of Indian democracy.”And here’s a piece in Outlook:“What is really significant for us to understand here is that Murmu’s victory is not merely the victory of a specific party to power. Rather its implications can be drawn deep down to the very philosophy of what India as an independent nation has been striving to practically achieve. Whether or not her victory can bring goals of that philosophy to fruition is a matter of time to tell. But at the moment, from the point of view of a modern, multicultural, multi-ethnic nation-state, Murmu’s victory is the victory of representation.”Origin StorySince we are all talking about the victory of representation, I thought it would be useful to go deeper into the idea itself. What does representation mean in a democracy? How useful is it? Does an increasing emphasis on identity in society mean a greater opportunity for democracies to be truly representative? Is there such a thing as too much representation? To understand this, we will go back to the modern conception of the state and, therefore, to Hobbes. There are good reasons to go back to ancient history and the Roman republic or the Roman empire while talking about representation. But the political theory of the time concerned itself with the question of who was fit to rule us from among the people who should be ruling us. It didn’t answer the question of how we find who was fit to rule us. The process didn’t matter much then. So, we start with Hobbes again. This is a familiar territory for this newsletter so forgive me for going over it again. For Hobbes, human life in the state of nature is ‘solitary, poor, nasty, brutish and short’. We would be a ‘fractious multitude’ forever at war with each other for scarce resources because there would be no powerful force to keep us in order. The solution, Hobbes wrote, was for people to come together to form a pact, let’s call it the ‘commonwealth’, where they voluntarily give up some of their freedoms to a powerful entity called the ‘sovereign’ in exchange for protection against the violence that’s inevitable in the state of nature. So that’s how the State worked. There were the multitudes, a notion of the commonwealth, and then there was the sovereign. The sovereign was all-powerful but ruled because of the legitimacy of the commonwealth. If the sovereign itself became brutish, the multitudes might dismantle the commonwealth and look for another. Hobbes didn’t care much about how to search for the sovereign. It could be through a parliament, or it could be a monarch; it didn’t matter so long as it had absolute power to maintain order which was in turn voluntarily offered to them by the people. The enlightenment thinkers who followed Hobbes concerned themselves with two big ideas. One was individual liberty and how it should be protected and championed in the face of a powerful sovereign. The other was the separation of the ‘church’ from the State or how to ensure the sovereign doesn’t bow down to another power in the name of God. The revolutions and political reforms in the late 18th century Europe and North America were a result of the excesses of the sovereign and the propagation of these ideas within those societies. The primacy of individual liberty, the weakening of monarchy and the separation of the church led to the evolution of the modern, representative democracy where the people chose who would lead them. The people would be sovereign through the mode of representation. A system of checks and balances between the legislature, executive and judiciary would limit the concentration of power in any one person. This became the democratic model to emulate. The Problem Of RepresentationThe problem of representation wasn’t too difficult to solve in the early days of democracy. There was no universal suffrage, people lived in villages over generations, their representatives knew their issues well, and the people chose someone who presented the best option to address their concerns. There was very little information asymmetry. This model started fraying with increasing industrialisation and deepening of capitalism leading to greater social and geographic mobility. Cities with diverse populations, new professions, break down of the feudal structure in the countryside and universal suffrage followed. This meant it was difficult for any representative to know their people as well as before. Even the people couldn’t keep pace with all the information around them. Like Walter Lippman would write, there was a world outside, and there was a picture of it inside our heads. We make our decisions based on this picture which is a second-hand view of the world because we cannot see all of the world. Because of this, we search for an authentic messenger who can explain the real world to us. The elites use the media to present themselves as the authentic messengers and shape public opinion. It is this elite then who influence representation for the public. Once this model got established, we saw the elites dominate representation in democracies for most of the 20th century. This wheel turned in the last decade when the excesses of the financial system, the concentration of the benefits of globalisation, the proliferation of media and greater disparity in opportunities led to a populist backlash against the elites.The Three NarrativesThere are now three competing narratives on representation today. The first is the old Burkean point on the role of a representative of people. His speech to the electors of Bristol in 1774 is a classic on the role of a representative:“Certainly, gentlemen, it ought to be the happiness and glory of a representative to live in the strictest union, the closest correspondence, and the most unreserved communication with his constituents. Their wishes ought to have great weight with him; their opinion, high respect; their business, unremitted attention. It is his duty to sacrifice his repose, his pleasures, his satisfactions, to theirs; and above all, ever, and in all cases, to prefer their interest to his own. But his unbiased opinion, his mature judgment, his enlightened conscience, he ought not to sacrifice to you, to any man, or to any set of men living. These he does not derive from your pleasure; no, nor from the law and the constitution. They are a trust from Providence, for the abuse of which he is deeply answerable. Your representative owes you, not his industry only, but his judgment; and he betrays, instead of serving you, if he sacrifices it to your opinion.”This is the model of an independent representative with a mind of his own. They work with autonomy using their judgment to do what they think is best for their people.The second narrative is about the representative being either an expert or who will rely on experts for finding the best answers to the concerns of the public. This narrative strengthens when a nation is in crisis because of a war, economic failure or an emergency (health or environment, for instance). These don’t last long, and an expert eventually falls out of favour unless they reinvent themselves. The last narrative is that of a representative who is like you and me, the proverbial US politician who you could have a chat with over a beer. This is the literal interpretation of representation where fealty to someone is drawn because of how closely they resemble us. In a world where every expertise can be questioned, where independent thinking is viewed with suspicion, and tribal loyalty is the highest virtue, this literal view of representation is the strongest. Of course, this isn’t to say that these narratives of representation cannot come together in the shape of a single person who could satisfy all of them. But that looks increasingly rare around the world these days. What’s easier is for a representative to fashion themselves in closer affiliation to a particular identity among the people and use that to come to power. Over-indexing on any one of these narratives and choosing representatives on that basis is bad for democracy. It weakens the state. It is something we must keep in mind while celebrating representation.  Matsyanyaaya: A New East Asian TransitionBig fish eating small fish = Foreign Policy in action— Pranay KotasthaneThis week’s news was dominated by the Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, Nancy Pelosi’s visit to Taiwan. If you weren’t sleeping under a rock, you would have already read many views, claims, blames, and counter-claims around this event. Here’s another one, but from an Indian realist perspective.The dominant narrative sees this visit as another episode of the ongoing US-China great power rivalry. In this narrative, Taiwan by itself, is secondary. All that matters is to place the blame either on China or the US for the escalations. One framing is that this visit was unnecessary, provocative, and irresponsible. The argument goes that the US has worsened the security situation of China’s neighbours by inviting the latter’s aggression. The opposite framing suggests that the blame rests solely on China’s expansionist tendencies over the last five years. China’s response of activating a military response ahead of the upcoming 20th National Congress of the Chinese Communist Party only shows what this event is really about.Both frames of the dominant narrative are missing a crucial element: the choices of the Taiwanese people. The great power rivalry framing often ignores that other nation-states also have the agency to make their sovereign choices, even if doing so sometimes involves playing one great power against another. Ukraine’s case is similar. Some people blame NATO’s expansion on Russia’s borders, while others point out that an invasion has no justification (I share this view). But we forget that most Ukrainians themselves want to move away from Russia and get closer to the West. Any final analysis needs to take this factor into account. My colleague Nitin Pai made a critical argument in early March: ““NATO/EU shouldn’t have expanded” is an insult to the agency of countries that have willingly exercised their choice to join. Accepting their sovereign decisions is also realism. Pretty silly to call yourself a ‘realist’ while pretending sovereign states don’t exist/lack agency.”So is the case with Taiwan. Some analysts are stuck in the old times, believing that Taiwan is China’s “internal issue”. They haven’t been paying enough attention to Taiwan’s domestic polity. The Taiwanese “nation”—the imagined community in Benedict Anderson’s conception— has been carefully constructed over the last few years. Democracy, freedom, and deep connections with the broader world are key foundations of Taiwanese nationalism. This kind of nationalism is antithetical to the mainland’s nationalism. The two consecutive electoral victories of the ruling party—Tsai Ing-wen’s DPP—is a sign that this Taiwanese identity has taken shape. The DPP defeated the grand old Guomindang, a party that has been soft on China. This is what Taiwan’s foreign minister, Joseph Wu said in a BBC interview a couple of days ago:"We want to maintain the status quo, which is that Taiwan has no jurisdiction over mainland China and the People's Republic of China (CCP) has no jurisdiction over Taiwan. That is the reality… On the index of freedom Taiwan is ranked number one, on economic freedom Taiwan is also at the top. Taiwanese people enjoy democracy, freedom and the value of human rights, that put Taiwan in the democratic world…. We have the will and the capability. We need other countries to provide Taiwan with defensive articles, but defending Taiwan is our responsibility, we are not asking other countries to sacrifice their lives to protect Taiwan."Read the lines again. They are definitely not about a small internal issue or a minor historical, ideological tussle. What About Pelosi’s VisitHaving understood the categorical shift in Taiwan’s politics, we can better understand Ms Pelosi’s visit. The Taiwanese government knew what they were getting into. Taiwan orchestrated the visit precisely to clarify to the world that its differences with China are irreconcilable. Even the Guomindang came out in support of the visit. Having been under the threat of a mainland invasion for over 73 years, the Taiwanese know China’s intentions and actions better than most others.The visit, by itself, was just symbolic. It didn’t involve a leader from the Biden administration. Moreover, both Pelosi and the Biden administration made it clear that they are not reversing the “One China” principle. It was China that raised the stakes. China could’ve opted to let it pass by with a strong statement alone. But it chose to ratchet tensions, hoping that this tried-and-tested strategy would stare down Taiwan.But that was not to be. Taiwan and Pelosi called China’s bluff. And when that happened, China began conducting massive military drills, fired missiles and withdrew from important dialogue forums with the US. All this in response to just a symbolic visit by a legislators’ group! Just like the unsportsmanlike kid who walks away with his bat, ball and wickets after being adjudged out. (I know I’m breaking my injunction against anthropomorphising international relations.)How Should We in India Process This?Thus far, we have opted for our favourite position of taking a stance by not taking a stance. Foreign ministers of the US, Australia, and Japan jointly condemned China’s launch of missiles. The fourth Quad member was conspicuous by its absence.From an Indian perspective, Taiwan standing up to China’s expansionism is encouraging. India is familiar with China’s tantrums over visits by foreign diplomats. On every occasion a US Ambassador to India visits Arunachal Pradesh, the Chinese government gets riled up. Pelosi’s visit should be seen in the same context. China’s unreasonable demands and the disproportionate escalation when the demands aren’t heeded, deserve strong criticism short of any change in the “One China” formulation. At the same time, India should close the long-pending free-trade agreement with Taiwan. Its strategic value far outweighs the benefits of haggling over import duties.These words from Joseph Wu serve as a useful reminder to India and Indians:“Look at their[China’s] behaviour over Hong Kong, or claiming the East China Sea and the South China Sea. It is the typical expansionism of an authoritarian state.. Countries in this region need to watch out for what China is trying to do. Taiwan is not going to be the last piece in Chinese dream of expansionism.”Want to find out more about India and Taiwan?

At our core, we all have a desire both to know others and to be known by them. That is what a relationship is. Seeking and being sought. Knowing and being known. Accepting and being accepted. Loving and being loved. Pouring into someone else, having them pour into you.   We sometimes treat God in the same way. We approach seeking God like He is someone that we want to know, but we see Him as someone, who seems distant and disinterested in who we are.  We act as if we have to gain His attention or His approval. Other times we focus on the immensity of God because we are worried about putting God in a box. The truth is that all the great and powerful attributes of God sometimes lead us to forget His personal nature. We spend time focusing on the fact that He is the all-powerful, all-knowing, creator of the universe and therefore so much bigger than it.  The message of scripture is that God calls us into relationship. A chief attribute of being in relationship with God is, just like human relationships, knowing and being known. Galatians 4:9 says, “Now that you have come to know God, or rather to be known by God.” Psalm 139 praises God for His amazing power, but it does so by showing how that power is used by God to know us. The result is a psalm of praise for who God is, a psalm of love for being cared for by Him, and a psalm of devotion to God in response to His devotion to us. The whole psalm could be summarized by v17: “How precious are your thoughts to me, O God.”  God knows You Because He Sees You (v1-6) God Knows You Because He is Near You (v7-12) God Knows You Because He Made You (v13-18) Our Response to God's Knowledge (v19-24)

What does it mean to accept yourself? It means that you are okay with who you are, flaws and all. You don't need validation from others because you already have a high opinion of yourself. Sounds great, right? But accepting yourself is easier said than done. Most of us have a tough time accepting ourselves for who we are because we don't feel good enough. We think that if we could just change this one thing about ourselves, then we would finally be okay. But that's not how it works. You have to accept yourself for who you are, warts and all, in order to be truly happy. Here's why self worth is so important and how to start accepting yourself today.

We Get Deep Into The Thinking Process This Week!!

Wednesday Evening

Today, I interview Ann Hince whose story certainly has a unique beginning. She was adopted as a newborn into a family who had just had to give up a foster daughter, so in some ways she started her life by filling in another one's shoes. There was a lot of moving and traveling when Ann was a child, and somehow her birth mother kept track of her location all along. Ann experienced some traumatic experiences as a young child. She told her parents her room was on fire and they didn't believe her. So from day one her voice was quieted. Among many places they'd lived was Hong Kong, and while her family lived there she was sent away to England to attend her brother's boarding school-- a boys-only institution-- which would be yet another confusing and scary experience on a list of many that had suppressed her voice. Through the years her dad also tormented her. He made her record herself speaking on cassette, something to be mailed to the grandparents, but would also chime in, mocking and ridiculing her for how her voice sounded. He also repeated the same teasing that Ann said she was receiving from the boys at her school. So her fear grew and she continued to hide within herself, tired of the constant humiliation. When she reached 21, she left that life behind and headed for California, where she had a family and pursued a career in software engineering. She was confronted by some disagreement from some fellow coworkers and it absolutely tormented her. A few days later, she'd processed the incident and realized that she shouldn't have had such a strong reaction-- that there was unresolved trauma and she could do something about it. So she did. Ann went on an amazing journey and found emotional freedom. Today, she encourages others to allow themselves to fully experience what they're feeling and work through it, rather than suppressing it. She helps them to be present and acknowledge the moment so they can move past their fear and pain. ___________ When Ann was 19, she woke one morning to find her mother dead in her bathroom. Twenty years later the tears from that trauma were still just under the surface. Ann found a simple technique that helped her release these emotions - but she went further and can now put her awareness inside her body - and has changed the bone structure of her skull and grown ½ an inch at age 55. Ann has found that seeking out our truth, what we truly feel, and accepting those feelings, is the key to inner peace. Find Ann here: https://annhince.com/ https://www.facebook.com/AnnHinceWisdom https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCTc4hb7ZKvih1LlRHK0cUjg Book: A Pathway to Insight on Amazon___________I'm your podcast host, Dr. Doreen Downing, and I help people find their voice so they can overcome anxiety, be confident, and speak without fear. Get started now on your journey to your authentic voice by downloading my Free 7 Step Guide to Fearless Speaking: https://www.doreen7steps.com.

Within the deal, such that if something goes wrong, we still fall within our numbers or even better.  [00:00:12]  [00:00:24] Sam Wilsons: Leslie. Awasom is the director of operations and co-founder of X site capital investment LLC. He manages the company operations market and data analysis, cash flow and budget. Leslie, welcome to the show.  [00:00:36] Leslie Awasom: Hey, thanks Sam. Thank you so  [00:00:37] Sam Wilsons: much for having me. Hey man. The pleasure's mine, there are three questions. I ask every guest who comes on the show in 90 seconds or less. [00:00:43] Sam Wilsons: Can you tell me, where did you start? Where are you now? And how did you get there?  [00:00:46] Leslie Awasom: Yeah, absolutely. I started in real estate in 2017 after coming across one of Robert Kiyosaki book, second chance at your money in your life and just got interested in real estate and building um, more like a solid financial future for myself. [00:01:00] Leslie Awasom: Then along the way, discovered multifamily investing came in contact with my two amazing partners. We found that exec capital investment to focusing on multifamily investing in 2019. And we've been growing ever since. It's been an amazing journey for us, our company and our investors. [00:01:15] Leslie Awasom: Currently sitting on 125 million of assets under management it's growing investor community and have great, a great food that we've been able to help grow the minds of over 1500 people so far. And is that number, it keeps growing every day,  [00:01:29] Sam Wilsons: man. That's fantastic. When you say you've been helpful or grateful to grow the minds of 1500 people, what does that mean? [00:01:37] Leslie Awasom: So we have a monthly educational event. We provide a lot of educational content. We host every Tuesday evening on the writing class where we teach people interested in multi-family how to own the, write these properties, or how to evaluate these deals for themselves as investors. [00:01:51] Leslie Awasom: And we also have like monthly educational events where we bring in experts in the country from other aspects and finance and real estate to teach members of our community. And we provide a lot of educational content via email to our list as well. So, it's just something that we really enjoy doing and that's something that's part of our call mission. [00:02:08] Leslie Awasom: Gotcha,  [00:02:08] Sam Wilsons: man. That's really cool. So you guys have scaled to 125 million in assets, under management, and I guess that's five years that's pretty great. Did you have any investing history in real estate before you went into multifamily?  [00:02:20] Leslie Awasom: So we actually went into multifamily in 2019 Sam. [00:02:23] Leslie Awasom: So, so we scaled that in about two, in about three years. Yeah. Prior to that, we individually had experience in single family investing. Our CEO had some a long track record of investing in like, startups and angel investing and real estate as well. And I did some real estate and all the third partner had a financial service business. [00:02:42] Leslie Awasom: So that's the background we came into when we informed our.  [00:02:45] Sam Wilsons: Gotcha. That's really cool. Tell me what are some things you know, that you think about, I guess, in this now three year journey in multifamily? Like what are some things that you feel like you've done really well that other people should emulate? [00:02:58] Leslie Awasom: I think one thing we've done really well is it's like really. How was the right word really absorbing or like, really accepting the abundance mindset, right. Really adopting that philosophy of an abundance mindset and really understanding that we do not lose anything by providing value to others. [00:03:15] Leslie Awasom: And actually it's actually like kind. To some extent it's selfish mindset because the more you give to other people, you actually get way more in return. So that's something that has worked really well for us that we've done really well. We give a lot of our time and we give a lot more to members of our community. [00:03:30] Leslie Awasom: And because of that, our community has grown tremendously. We've also done a really good job at finding the right assets that, that keep our investors safe. Being very conservative and our, on the writing. That's one thing that we are very proud of how conservative we are on the deal that we bring to market so that our investors are safe when they come to invest with us. [00:03:50] Sam Wilsons: What are some things, when you say, the more you give the more it comes back to you, but like when you say that, what are, what would you say would be a standard, some something that you'd, or ordinarily have thought, man, I'm not gonna do that. I'm not gonna, I'm not gonna share that information or I'm not gonna give that. [00:04:04] Sam Wilsons: What are some things that come to mind that you feel like, Hey, you know what? We decided to be really liberal with this and share it as much as we can.  [00:04:10] Leslie Awasom: It's just for example, we have a lot of people that come to our platform that are looking to start their own, our multifamily company as well. [00:04:17] Leslie Awasom: Ordinarily some other person will look at this as some kind of competition. I'm not gonna show them exactly how we do stuff. We don't, however, whatever you want to learn, we show it to you, whatever resources we took to get over there, we share with. So is that another thing is like, for example, like the underwriting class we do, we've been doing that every Tuesday night going on to about a year now. [00:04:35] Leslie Awasom: It's something that take, and it's not something that we charge anybody for. And so, even people that are coming on board that are learning and going and doing this on their own as well, We really enjoyed doing it. And but, because we are given that much, we've met some really amazing partners that see that and value that. [00:04:51] Leslie Awasom: And that also share that kind of an energy. And they've also helped in our growth significantly.  [00:04:56] Sam Wilsons: Got it. That's really cool. What are some things maybe that if you could do it over, if you went back and said, man, let's rewind three years, something that would make maybe speed things up that would maybe save some heartache. [00:05:07] Sam Wilsons: What's something that you feel like was not, we'll called a mistake, but something that, that you said, man, I don't wanna repeat that.  [00:05:13] Leslie Awasom: I probably should have brought in a third partner, our CEO, Dr. Juda only much earlier than we did because bring in a what now our third partner, Dr. Juda only he came along in the process a little bit later. [00:05:24] Leslie Awasom: The company initially started with Tenny and I. We probably would've brought him in early because he just came in and just made like the final leg of the tripod and just brought in this amazing energy and and intelligence and integrity and tenacity that has really pushed us forward. [00:05:41] Leslie Awasom: So that's probably one thing I would've done differently, otherwise, everything else I'll keep it the same. My journey might not have been the fastest. we had some failures and struggles along the way, but it was it was perfect. It was perfectly designed to put us to where we are today. [00:05:55] Leslie Awasom: That's great.  [00:05:55]  [00:05:55] Sam Wilsons: Let me ask you this. Lastly, you said you brought your third partner on and it's all worked out. Great. What did you guys realize that you were missing? Like, what was it you're like, gosh, we just need a third person in this, to really make this thing. [00:06:08] Sam Wilsons: Hum. What were the components that were missing in, in, in that you guys realize you need to bring somebody on? What was that?  [00:06:14] Leslie Awasom: So we needed that somebody that had that vision that could keep us like aligned and focused in , on who we are the company we're trying to build and the community that we're trying to build. [00:06:24] Leslie Awasom: Because initially well, we just got really excited about the possibilities that multifamily presents for. For ourselves and members of our community. And we just went out running we didn't really have like a true identity as a company and focusing on what was really key to us. So we needed that person that had that kind of that, leadership aura, if that's the best way I could describe it. [00:06:45] Leslie Awasom: And Dr. Oney is, was a perfect person. And we are grateful that he came on board when he did.  [00:06:50] Sam Wilsons: That's that's really cool. And are you guys solely focused on acquiring multifamily? Yes. Right now what do you think about the multifamily market right now?  [00:07:00] Leslie Awasom: It still has it's a little bit riskier than it was a year ago because of the changes in interest rates and everything that's happening in the economy. [00:07:08] Leslie Awasom: But we think, I believe multifamily is still a very solid asset for long term wealth growth and world generat. We just have to be a little bit more conservative than we were before with some of the projections that we make on some of the growth and be more, selective in the markets that we're investing and the kind of assets that we're investing, just to decrease the amount of our risk exposure that might come along. [00:07:29] Leslie Awasom: If we have some significant changes to the  [00:07:31] Sam Wilsons: economy, when you say you're changing your growth projections, is that saying, Hey, we're gonna dial back what we think we can sell this for. Is that saying, Hey, we're gonna cut back on, what our rent projections are gonna be. I mean, is that even going so far as saying, Hey, what if we have a rent decrease? [00:07:47] Sam Wilsons: I mean, what do you mean when you say. Tweaking your growth projections.  [00:07:51] Leslie Awasom: Absolutely. It's a little bit of both. We project it, for example, if in the past we're projecting a 10 basis point increase in cap rates on on a yearly basis on exit, we might project a little bit higher depending on the market. [00:08:03] Leslie Awasom: Some markets we are doing even like a 15% annual in, increase 15 basis point increase in cap rates annually onto. Our rent growth. We are keeping our rent growth in some markets. Maybe the first year we have some in the other years we keep it flat. So, it just depends on what the kind of data we see from our data sources in each of the markets that we go into. [00:08:24] Leslie Awasom: So whatever like some of the tools that we use project, we kind of dial it down a little bit. And so that it keeps, we like to go into every deal, having enough cushion. Within the deal, such that if something goes wrong, we still fall within our numbers or even better.  [00:08:39] Sam Wilsons: Got it. Tell me about your role there inside of the company. [00:08:42] Sam Wilsons: What is it specifically that you handle?  [00:08:46] Leslie Awasom: So I handle the operations of the company on the company side. I make sure that we are meeting like we have the right systems in place to meet the goals that we set for ourself. Every year we meet and we come up with quarterly goals and we come up with annual goals as well. [00:08:59] Leslie Awasom: So, my role in there is to make sure that we are using the systems that we have created and other systems are working constantly evaluating constantly working with our employees to make sure that we can make our working process more efficient. And I'm also involved in the management of our assets. [00:09:15] Leslie Awasom: Manage the property managers making sure that they're keeping up with the KPIs that we set for each property, make sure that the properties are performing according to what we on the road or better. So, once our acquisition team, for example, finds an asset and they think that it's a good one for us to review and they've gone to the underwriting, I take that underwriting and I have to review it compared to what our business plan, what our typical business plans are and do some more. [00:09:38] Leslie Awasom: Checks and balances on it to make sure that it's a right asset for us to go into. So, I'm more of the, on the back side of things, just making sure that the numbers are right and everything is, functioning properly  [00:09:49] Sam Wilsons: What's the timeline. This is just a totally kinda left field question. Yes. [00:09:53] Sam Wilsons: What's the timeline from when you guys identify a potential asset on the acquisition side, get it through underwriting, get it to you, get you to review the underwriting and then say, Hey, yeah, this is a potential to make an offer. What's how long does that take? It usually  [00:10:06] Leslie Awasom: takes about three days. Because that Christian team is very busy and that's probably one of the most developed part of our business. [00:10:13] Leslie Awasom: We have a very solid team, so we have someone that goes in and finds the assets and stop to the brokers. Then pass it over to underwriting. They're underwrite it and they usually send it out to me. =, within three days after getting more information from our property managers, our debt brokers and our tax consultants. [00:10:29] Leslie Awasom: So within three days I get it and review everything and see if it makes sense to pursue any further or we pass. What is your  [00:10:36] Sam Wilsons: current, do you, I mean, if you don't know this, that's fine, but I bet you do. What is your current number of deals you underwrite to deals that you close what's that  [00:10:45] Leslie Awasom: ratio right now is about 134 to one. [00:10:49] Leslie Awasom: See, I knew you knew. And that asked to to best on final, not even close . Yeah.  [00:10:55] Sam Wilsons: What? Geez. So yeah. Okay. That's the best and final that's not even to  [00:10:58] Leslie Awasom: close. Yeah. Yeah. That's based on what we've done so far from the last from our last deal. So it's been crazy. We've been reviewing a ton of deals, but made a few best on finals, but it's not nothing is, has come through yet. [00:11:10] Leslie Awasom: Have you seen any  [00:11:10] Sam Wilsons: softening in the market or any I guess just any changes of note.  [00:11:16] Leslie Awasom: Yeah. Our feedback from our brokers is that there's a lot of re trading happening on some of the properties. So in the past we would talk to brokers and our underwriting might be a few millions below what they were asking. [00:11:27] Leslie Awasom: And we will ask if it could submit an offer and they tell us no, but this time around, it doesn't matter how low the offer is they actually to submit because , they want owners to see that things are changing with the interest rates. This deal still have to cash flow. Most owners still have expectations from when we were at a 2% interest rate in, and a 6% interest rate climate. [00:11:48] Leslie Awasom: So it's gonna take some time to adjust, but I do feel like it it is adjusting slowly.  [00:11:53] Sam Wilsons: It is. Yeah. And that's, there's lots of arguments, eight different directions on why interest rates won't affect cap rates, why interest rates and cap rates are completely, disconnected. [00:12:02] Sam Wilsons: And then you hear it the other way around. And I don't know which ways up to be honest in the end. But it is but just to confirm, you're confirming, what we've been hearing is that there are some re trading happen. We have, we are seeing some softening in the market as a whole and just, it is interesting to hear that, Hey, you know what, gimme your offer. [00:12:19] Sam Wilsons: So at least I can take it back. And that's been the word from the brokers too, is like, we need something to take back to our sellers, just so they understand that this is where the market is now. So yeah. Yeah. E even as you. As a buyer, you might feel like you're sending in an offensive bid, which is okay. [00:12:34] Sam Wilsons: Yeah. But. That's what they're asking for.  [00:12:36] Leslie Awasom: Yeah. Because if you think about it at the end of the deal, the deals still have to cash flow. Yeah. Maybe the cash flows might not be as, as robust as they were a few years back. But buyers would not buy deals that are doing a negative cash flow that are really that tight. [00:12:49] Leslie Awasom: So. It's just a higher risk. So, I do believe some softening would happen, but maybe not as drastic as as people think it might get, just because multifamily is still a very strong asset class with a lot of growth potential still.  [00:13:01] Sam Wilsons: Yep. Yep. Absolutely. I think that's really cool. [00:13:04] Sam Wilsons: Give me gimme one thing, one, one nugget on the asset management side that you say, man, here is something that. you just gotta have in order when you're the asset manager,  [00:13:15] Leslie Awasom: You like, you gotta stay on top of your numbers. You gotta Be able to trend everything on a monthly basis. Guys, stay on top of your numbers, understand what those numbers mean and how you could influence those numbers because that's where the key really that's where you have the power as an asset management to make these assets perform very well. [00:13:34] Leslie Awasom: So you really do have to understand the story behind those numbers and what role you could play to, to affect those.  [00:13:40] Sam Wilsons: Give me an example of a number you feel like that is something that you can directly influence that you should really be paying attention to.  [00:13:48] Leslie Awasom: I tend to look at it from a much bigger picture, but the simple things for example, just going into a property you might see a water bill that's been outrageous where as an asset management, you might come in and implement some kind of a water savings program, and you're able to decrease that and increase your NOI tremendously. [00:14:04] Leslie Awasom: And the other piece is like maintenance cost. Like, what I've found in some of our assets is like, by having a very good qualified maintenance personnel on staff that is well paid, but that has several skills. Right. You could provide a lot of tools for the, for that person front, and it's gonna save you a ton in maintenance upfront. [00:14:23] Leslie Awasom: And which is something that we're experiencing one of our assets, which is like finding the right qualified maintenance on site person that has those skills that you don't have to outsource a lot of the jobs that are involved in this assets that could save you a ton of money on your maintenance cost long. [00:14:40] Sam Wilsons: Yeah, absolutely. Do you guys help find that maintenance person or is that the property manager's job? It's the  [00:14:46] Leslie Awasom: property manager, but we try to kind of give a direction of of where we want to go. And our property management team has a lot of exposure. In the Southeast market. So they have a large footprint and they can kind of, it's just about giving some side sort of direction and then they go out and look for that person for you. [00:15:02] Leslie Awasom: So, so it's one of the things we talk about our property management team up front. When we taking over these assets. Yeah,  [00:15:08] Sam Wilsons: absolutely. What do you do when you aren't getting the numbers you want from the property management team? And I, what I mean by that is when, Hey, I need the last week's report on Monday morning, and then Monday comes and goes and you don't have those numbers. [00:15:20] Sam Wilsons: What do you do?  [00:15:21] Leslie Awasom: Well, you just have to remind them the importance , of getting those numbers on time. My, our approach has been to empower whoever we work with to take responsibility for what they're doing so that we don't have to sit on top of them every day. And and we promote good behavior. [00:15:37] Leslie Awasom: Right. So we focus in on what you're doing, right. And we promote that and we push that forward and we found that has really worked very well. And our property managers, our team members are ready to go above and beyond for us because they feel like they're part of the journey of this asset. [00:15:52] Leslie Awasom: They feel like they're part of the journey that are investors are joining us along. The way we, so, so, so far it has worked really well. And if there's something that is not done, right, like not getting a report out on time, we'll point it out to you and then hold you to the higher expectation, but make you feel like you are the one who is coming up with a much higher expectation. [00:16:09] Leslie Awasom: Like, so the property manager's gonna set the goal to have this on time by this time, then we'll hold you accountable.  [00:16:15] Sam Wilsons: Right. I love it. I love it. Lastly, thank you for taking the time to come on today and really give us the insight into what it means to be an asset manager. What it means on the underwriting side, how you guys are finding opportunity, what you guys are doing to stay competitive, your thoughts, really on the market. [00:16:31] Sam Wilsons: And then just talking about your, the way you educate. Your investors, your educational events that you put out. I think that's really cool what you guys are doing. Certainly appreciate you coming on. If our listeners wanna get in touch with you, learn more about you, your every Tuesday underwriting event, any of those things, what is the best way to do that?

Today I have a little bit of bad news for you.Accepting, surrendering, and tolerating are not things you can “almost” do. They are binary functions. Either on, or off. You either fully surrender, accept, and tolerate, or you are still hanging on to things that you think are saving you, but never really do.Someone in the comments section on YouTube today noted that her therapist is fond of saying that she can turn her “acceptance knob” up to 9, but she never allows it to go all the way to 10, which she needs to do. I love this analogy. I completely understand that you will likely start by turning the acceptance and surrender knob to level 2 or 3. That’s fine. Then you might go to level 5 or 6. When you’re feeling REALLY brave, you’ll go to level 9. But 9 isn’t 10. If we take the binary view, 9 still means OFF. You have to get to level 10 because only 10 is ON in this situation.Why am I being so strict about this?Because when you are still holding on and not fully letting go, you are still clinging to the mistaken idea that holding on is needed in order to be safe. If you continue to insist that you have to be safe from your own body and mind, then you will find yourself getting frustrated when “You’re doing the things but nothing is changing.” I know it sounds really cold when I tell you that 95% acceptance is not good enough, but I say that because that last 5% is going to make you think that you are incapable or more “broken” than people that get better. I am being harsh here because it is always heartbreaking to see people wind up blaming themselves and judging themselves so negatively for no reason.If you are always wondering HOW to accept, tolerate, or surrender, check out the seminar I’m doing with Joanna Hardis on distress tolerance!What does this look like in practice? We most often see it when people state that they have made progress in floating through or accepting certain situations, but can’t seem to do that in others. They will describe the “special” fears and challenges that are just too big for them to fully surrender to. They can’t seem to fully allow certain experiences, so they start to doubt themselves and ask for special tips and tricks to get them through. Does this sound familiar to you? Do you have situations, fears, and challenges that you just can’t bring yourself to “accept”? This also kinda speaks to the “acceptable bubble” concept I talk about so often. That thing where you recover to the point where you’re not crippled, but your life is still somewhat small and full of restrictions because you can’t do the “big things”. If you find yourself stuck in an acceptable bubble, you are probably refusing to turn your acceptance knob all the way up to 10.I did not want this to be true when I was going through recovery, but it was then, and it remains true now. Only FULL surrender, acceptance, tolerance, etc. get this job done all the way. That means allowing the surrender switch to flip to the ON position where there is nothing to hang on to or shield yourself with. It means cranking that knob all the way to level 10 even when you are sure that you should NEVER do that.Embrace the binary nature of acceptance, surrender, and tolerance. It’s a scary concept, but it also holds the key to real lasting freedom. It removes the bonds of self doubt and negative self judgment that you may be struggling with. Fully letting go is the way out, even when we don’t want it to be.That pesky leap of faith. It keeps popping up on us, doesn’t it?Have you listened to this week’s episode of The Anxious Truth podcast?

Today, on the Fat Murder Podcast, we wanted to talk about habit formation and how long it really takes to form a habit.   Unless you've been living under a rock, you've likely heard that it takes 21 days to form a habit, but is that true? And where did that number come from?   If you're anything like me, you learned it as if it was some kind of undisputed fact.   Life lesson: When a lot of people regurgitate the same thing over and over again, then everyone will start to believe it.   But when you think about it, it's understandable why people liked the idea of changing in 21 days.    The time frame is short enough to feel doable and long enough to be believable. And doesn't like the idea of improving their life in just three weeks?   That sounds great, but the reality is, based on witnessing over 2500 clients go through my habit-based program, Unstuffed, it will probably take you anywhere from 6 months to 18 months to become the kind of person who naturally waits until they're hungry to eat and stops before they're full. Not 21 days.   There's a reason why my program is 6 months and not a 30-day challenge. Change takes time. And behaviors you've been mindlessly executing for a lifetime take significantly longer.   Accepting that habit formation takes longer than 21 days can help you understand that habits aren't something you do, they're someone you become. They're a process, not an event.   Knowing this from the beginning makes it easier to manage your expectations and commit to making small, incremental improvements – rather than pressuring yourself into thinking you have to become this new person overnight.   To dig into this topic with us, listen to today's episode and take the time to identify which habits you'd like to master that will benefit you for the rest of your life.   We provide actionable steps and solutions how to turn this into not only a dream, but your reality.

Father takes today's feast day to show that taking correction can make you a saint.

Today I am catching up with Sasha to talk about our work in life as we enter the summer season. We talk a lot about the difference between having a hobby business and side hustle, and why that's not a bad thing, taking enjoyment seriously, monetising, freeing up the pressure and finally finally ditching the Instagram rules. We also talk about Sasha's summer of fun, and the commitment to be here enjoying life. This is the last episode for a couple of weeks as I take a break for August, but we will be back in September.Before launching into the episode, I have opened up a more affordable way to join The Cabin for those who want to immerse into the content without the pressure of 121 support. You can now join The Cabin at a reduced rate without 121 support included - you get access to the membership site and resources, the monthly content and can ask questions in the monthly Q&As there's just no 121 time with me (unless you want to add it later). You have two weeks left to join The Cabin and it won't reopen again until September 2023, so head to simpleandseason.com/thecabin to learn more and start making your life worth living.What I talk about in this episode:The difference between taking it seriously and being serious Embracing a hobby businessValuing our creativity Accepting the ‘for now'How we currently feel about Instagram Focusing on being ‘here' For links and resources discussed in the show, see the full show notes.Kayte on InstagramSasha on Instagram Subscribe to my newsletter!

One of the biggest struggles successful people will face is accepting. They deserve success to begin with. What you'll learn on this episode of Crushing the Day:  

Shay Mitchell joins Casey Scott and Dr. Matt Woolley to share her recovery journey that started early on in her childhood with a father who suffered from addiction, how she began to develop anxiety from unaddressed traumatic experiences growing up, and the relief she felt from the moment she tried alcohol for the first time. Shay also opens up about how her addiction began to flourish throughout various moments in her life during her early twenties, her decision to use alcohol as a bandaid for postpartum depression following the birth of her second child, and how the COVID-19 pandemic sent her to the deepest depths into her addiction. We also dive into Shay's admission to the fact that she was an alcohol addict, building connections with other people living in recovery that helped support her own sobriety, and the steps that she's taking to secure recovery in her own life. To learn more about Shay, you can find her on Instagram @ShaySober or on the web at shaysober.com. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today I want to ask you about the life you are living right now. Are you happy with where you are right now? When you look at your life, do you see God, hope and purpose? And if you look back at the major events that got you where you are, what is your emotion about those things?Accepting where we are is crucial to making the most out of today and tomorrow. Sure, we all want to grow. We want to get better. But not because we are not good now. God is good and so are we if we live in Him. What we need is a full glass of gratitude that gets excited about using today to build a better tomorrow.  Maybe looking back can help. How you accept and process what has happened shaped your attitude about your life today. And... Lord willing today and this week and month and year will soon be a part of your past, shaping who you become. Are you ready to make that amazing?- What is your attitude about where you are in your life right now?- With what emotion do you look back at the road that led you to your current life?- Where was God in all of that? Was He present and active? Then and now?- How does gratitude now make a difference in what happens next?- I shared a personal story today. Do you have a story like that? What does it tell you about God?
