Could mobile factories revolutionize homebuilding and solve the housing crisis? One company thinks they've cracked the code.In this episode of Bricks & Bytes, we sit down with Alex Gample, co-founder of Cuby, who's tackling America's housing shortage with a radical approach: containerized micro-factories that can be deployed anywhere to manufacture homes at $100-110 per square foot—significantly cheaper than traditional construction.Key topics discussed:How Cuby's mobile micro-factories work and why they chose a distributed model over gigafactoriesThe company's ambitious plan to deploy 275 factories over the next decadeWhy construction productivity hasn't improved in decades while other industries have transformedHow they're using unskilled labor with advanced software guidance to replace skilled construction workersThe regulatory challenges that have killed previous housing innovation attemptsTheir partnership model with local developers and the economics behind itWhy Eastern European engineering talent is giving them a 7-10x cost advantageThe three-phase master plan from factory deployment to vertical integration"For every seven folks that now retire from the construction industry, only one replaces them... nine out of 10 times no one even has in their immediate circle someone that swings a hammer."Discover how Cuby is reimagining homebuilding from the ground up, why their "antithesis" approach might succeed where others have failed, and what it could mean for making homeownership accessible again.

As a former FBI hostage negotiator, Voss brings street-smart tactics that work in real-world situations, not just theory.

Today we're talking about something that I hear so often from nonprofit leaders just freaks them the heck out, and that's negotiating. The truth is, nonprofit leaders are negotiating all the time. But many leaders tell me it is definitely not their favorite thing. For some it's super stressful. It can be really uncomfortable. But it can also be exhilarating and exciting and rewarding. So how do we get from stressful and uncomfortable to exhilarating, exciting and rewarding? We're going to talk about two of the most critical secrets for that shift to happen. There are a lot of ingredients to successful negotiation, and it's important that we become skilled at all aspects of it. But in my own negotiating experience and in working with my clients, it's clear to me that there are two things that seem to get in the way the most. And if we can master those two things, all the rest go a lot more smoothly. In this episode, we share:How to get completely clear on your bottom line(s) and deal breakersThe hidden costs you need to account for when determining your bottom lineHow to anticipate and prepare for counter offersThe mistake that will derail you from sticking to your bottom line in a negotiationHow to deal with discomfort around saying “no”The three core elements to focus on in your negotiation, and how to use them to your advantageThe faulty training many nonprofit leaders have internalized, and how to break free of itPractical strategies to help you if you have trouble saying no in a negotiationThe universal tool that will help you in every negotiationIf you found value in this episode, please share it with other progressive nonprofit leaders.  And I'd be grateful if you would leave a rating and review on Apple podcasts, which will help even more people find out about this podcast.Thanks!

Investing in rental properties can be challenging at first, which is why so many investors tend to take it slow. Tyler Madden had the luxury of NOT being able to do this, and it's worked out well in his favor. Just over a year ago, we interviewed Tyler on episode fifty-five of the Real Estate Rookie Podcast. At the time, Tyler was an “accidental landlord”, but a lot has changed since then.Tyler found himself in the position to purchase seven units, a mere $1,000,000 or so in real estate, right as his wife was due to deliver their first-born child. While he didn't necessarily want to handle a full rehab of so many units, he took a “why not?” approach and found a way to make both properties work. Through a lot of sweat equity, Tyler was able to rehab, rent, and refinance these units and come out with a crazy amount of monthly cash flow!If you want to expand your real estate portfolio as Tyler did, listen to this episode intently. Tyler dives deep into the numbers, work, and lessons he learned along the way as he turned seven underperforming rental units into a portfolio any investor would dream of!In This Episode We CoverRelying on data vs. emotions when buying your first rental propertyWhether or not now is the right time to buy real estate What's impacting today's housing market and using uncertainty to your advantageThe best investing moves to make if a recession (or crash) is on the horizonWhat rookies should look for in a real estate investing market Buying real estate with a long-term outlook (so you can handle the dips!)And So Much More!Links from the ShowAshley's InstagramTony's InstagramBiggerPocketsReal Estate Rookie Youtube ChannelReal Estate Rookie PodcastRookie Podcast 55: Combining House Hacking and Live in Flips with Tyler MaddenAirbnbAsanaMonday.comBiggerPockets BootcampZoomConnect with TylerTyler's InstagramTyler's WebsiteCheck out the full show notes here: https://biggerpockets.com/blog/rookie-173See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Standing out in the market is the most important thing facing the real estate industry. What's the easiest way to go about doing that? The answer is simple: Your brand. A lot of people think it's your license, or your broker, or your lender, but it all comes down to your brand. Your brand is your persona and it defines what your presence is whether that be online or in person. If people resonate with your brand then they are more likely to converse with you and ultimately hire you and use you for their transaction.In this episode of the podcast we are going to go through the two main reasons why the significance of your brand matters and how to use it to your advantage when it comes to attracting clients. What I want to do is break down this idea in several different ways to give you strategies to start attracting. Let's be honest, what is the difference between you and every other real estate agent or lender in your market? The truth is, you all have access to the same loan programs or interest rates depending on what side of the business you're in, meaning it all comes down to you and your brand.Three Things You'll Learn in This EpisodeHow to stand out in the market in today's real estate industryThe importance of your brand, how to find it, and then use it to your advantageThe idea of programs and how they can help your businessResourcesReal Estate Marketing DudeThe Listing Advocate (Earn more listings!)REMD on YouTubeREMD on Instagram

We all miss traveling, and this episode I get to speak with long-time, airline professional, Don Bunkenburg.  Don is the Senior Director in Japan for the Lufthansa Group. Which includes Swiss Airlines, Austrian Airlines, and Germany's Lufthansa. We talk about how Lufthansa competes in the Japan market renowned for its level of service and hospitality, the "No risk culture" similarities between Germany and Japan,  how each airline in the group tailors their service offering to reflect the culture of each country, the steps required to actually fill up an airplane day after day, how Lufthansa changed from a process driven service delivery to a personalized service offering to earn the only European airline ranking of "5 Star" airline, and why the definition of "On Time Departure" is a little more important in Japan than some "other" countries.

On this Feature Friday episode of the ROI Online Podcast, Steve talks with Brett Trembly, Esq. about the importance of knowing when to delegate in order to scale your business and spend more time doing what you love. Brett Trembly is a lawyer, entrepreneur, and future author, who runs GetStaffedUp.com and has his own law firm. The best way to figure out whether someone is a good fit for your company is to know your core values and make sure you hire people whose mission matches yours. The best, most successful businesses are those with leaders who make their values known and live by them. When your culture is clear and integrated into everything your company does, you attract people who want to be a part of that mission and your company grows stronger. That means, when someone doesn't fit into your culture, the most respectful thing you can do is to let them go so they can find the place they belong. Brett also helps staff other organizations with affordable, well-trained employees who help you achieve your goals by taking the non-creative work off your plate. Brett and Steve discuss:How focusing on your culture and getting it right is a huge competitive advantageThe importance of living and enforcing your core values What it's like to fire someone; how to do it well and why it's not as scary as it may seemWhy thinking “no one will do something as good as me” is dangerous and holding your business back (imagine trying to run a restaurant at the chef, waiter, hostess, and dishwasher all at once)Why starting a business is easy and how taking your business to the next level requires designing systems and hiring people to run themYou can learn more about Brett here:https://getstaffedup.com/VIP (enter "Steve Brown ROI Online Podcast" for a $250 discount on services)https://tremblylaw.com Read the books mentioned in this podcast:The Golden Toilet by Steve BrownVivid Vision by Cameron HeroldWhat Got You Here Won't Get You There by Marshall GoldsmithEnroll in the QuickStart Academy today to learn how to develop and implement a proven growth strategy that grows your ROI, your business, and your confidence.

Keeping ideas secret is fundamental to protecting them, this is the case the world over. When you have a new idea, you’ll need to carefully weigh up who you disclose it to and howTopics Discussed in this Episode:How to protect ideas against theft by competitors and othersThe importance of confidentialityHow the patent system worksThe rationale behind IPWhen to use a non-disclosure agreement (NDA)The case of Microsoft’s Tablet PC versus Apple’s iPadHow to maintain your competitive advantageThe use of confidentiality to keep methodologies and recipes a secret Key Takeaways:Keeping ideas secret is fundamental to protecting them. And in business, you need to be very, very aware of this. And it’s the same the world over.Confidentiality is one of the core three IP rights, and it’s a very important way in which ideas, systems, processes, and databases are protected.Every great innovation began simply as an idea in someone’s head, and the patent system will only grant a patent on innovations that are not in the public domain.The trade-off that the state gives us for revealing our ideas is a monopoly right, so keeping them secret initially is a vital way of protecting ideas.The state is constantly doing this balancing act. The rights that they give have to be strong enough to encourage the creation of intellectual goods and divulging of information in return for a patent, but not so strong as to stifle creativity or prevent the wider use of those ideas.If you’re coming up with something innovative, expect others to jump on the bandwagon and copy.Copyright does not protect the underlying ideas. It only protects the way you express them.The copying of ideas may pose a serious threat to your business. The more crucial your idea, the more steps you should probably take to protect it.It’s how an idea is implemented rather than the idea itself that determines how well it’s received in the market.Develop the skill of knowing what to reveal, how much to reveal, and what to keep confidential about your ideas.Keep your idea a secret if you think it might potentially be patentable. If information about it leaks out to the public domain, it is no longer protected.When you have new ideas, carefully weigh up who you’re going to disclose them to and how. That’s how you manage the bloody world of competition.There are huge commercial advantages to being first to market, but you need to constantly improve and refine your offering if you’re to maintain that advantage. Keep staying ahead of your competitors. Even though they copy you, make it so that you’ve already moved on and actually improved the product and learned new insights.

In this show, Patrick Donohue tells the story about going to Home Depot to buy a power drill. He emphasizes that he didn’t really want a power drill. But rather he wanted to make a hole in his wall. And actually, his purpose wasn’t truly the hole. Instead it was to install his family’s new Ring doorbell. At bottom, it wasn’t that Donohue wanted to buy a power drill. It was his wife who wanted a better system for making sure delivered groceries got brought inside in a timely manner.Product manager, Data Solutions Group at CUES Supplier member FIS, headquartered in Jacksonville, Florida, and the sponsor of this show, Donohue tells this story to underscore the idea that behind every data point is an intention, an intrinsic desire of an individual member. “The more we can use data to understand our customers’ stories—what’s going on in their life and what’s likely to happen next for them—the greater the chance we have to delight them and retain our members,” he explains.During the show, Donohue also talks about key trends impacting credit unions’ use of data today, including fintechs—both startups and big tech companies—and the uncertainty associated with the coronavirus pandemic and what that means for members’ transaction patterns. Next, Donohue provides specific tips on how to better use data that’s currently “left behind” and not leveraged to credit unions’ advantages. He suggests looking to the transaction ledger for the rich information contained there about members. He describes an example transaction that credit unions could mine. “We can spot that a user has made a purchase—let’s say at a golf shop,” he says. “The merchant name is a little bit cryptic. We think it’s a golf shop but we can use a merchant name database and know that it’s Golf Mart. Then we can look at the whole landscape. Is this a one-time purchase? Is it a present for his cousin Larry? No, this is someone that also has a subscription to a green fee app. We can also see that their college tuition expenses are increasing. We might be seeing some signals in the data that his life is changing a bit. He wants to keep his golf going but he also has some additional expenses he has to pay.“You begin to layer on data to better understand that unique customer’s story,” he adds. “It allows everyone in the value chain for that member to customize that experience from the personal banker who’s standing in front of John inside the branch to the digital experience that’s serving up insights in mobile banking … all the way to the customer service rep who’s talking to them via phone. We know more about John and what’s important to him.”The show also gets into:The backstory behind Donohue’s professional mantra: “Move the authority to where the information is”What is meant by “single-threaded” apps created by fintechs, and how credit unions’ more holistic strategy can be a competitive advantageThe top tough questions that credit unions should be asking themselves when it comes to making the most of their data to serve members on a personal levelHow FIS helps its clients with their data efforts

Monica talks about the early days of softball that did not go as you might think it might have. How she obtained her first pitching lesson and the challenges as a youth player. We talk about how it was at North Salinas HS and the mindset going into her junior year and why Monica felt she had to produce. What it meant to her being part of a 18U team that went to the Canada Cup, the different styles of play from teams that were there from other countries, her summer experience and the food she fell in love with from Canada. Monica reflects on the accomplishment of getting 500 strikeouts. She was the first pitcher to record this feat in all 4 years! She did it in her 33rd game. What it was like being in the zone when she recorded 22 strikeouts vs Florida which is the highest singe game record. Her fondest team achievement at U of Tennessee, being part of the United States National Team and playing for the USA at the Olympics. Monica talks about the first time she went into the game at the Olympics and the feelings that came with it. The process of becoming a professional in Japan and the decision that she almost did not make.

While giving can feel good, it doesn’t always impact those that need your donation the most. Today’s guest is Anya Marchenko, a research assistant at Berkeley’s Center for Effective Global Action with a passion for development economics. Anya joins us to talk about effective altruism, a powerful approach that uses evidence and reason to figure out how to benefit others as much as possible, and taking action on that basis. In our conversation, Anya breaks down the science of giving by explaining that there are different types of donating and why donating to international causes that deal with chronic problems results in the most impact. Anya explores the theory that guides development economics and effective altruism while highlighting how these cash transfers respect the agency of the people these interventions aim to help. After sharing with us the practical skills from her discipline that can benefit you in life, Anya talks about how thinking about competitive advantage can help you make better decisions about where you can do more good. Anya shares her transformative experiences of conducting field research in Kenya and how she got to see the impact of giving first-hand. Finally, Anya talks about COVID-19 silver-linings and how it’s changing the perception of giving. In this episode, Anya gives us clear examples of how small donations can do a massive amount of good in the world. Tune in at one of the links below to learn more!Listen on SpotifyListen on Google PodcastsListen on Apple PodcastsKey Points From This Episode:The different types of donations and which donations make the most impactAnya describes four different ways people donate. First, there can be local donations vs. non-local/international. Within these two categories, people can either donate to address an acute problem like an emergency relief fund, or donating to address a chronic problem such as donating to criminal justice reform, global poverty, or HIV Research.Why direct cash transfers are often the best form of donationsAnya and many other development economists argue that direct cash transfers are the best use of donations in terms of doing the most good for people in need. People know for themselves what their most immediate needs are, and research has shown that money given with no strings attached can significantly improve peoples’ day-to-day lives, often more cheaply and effectively than other forms of giving.How to find organizations that are worth donating toWhen donating money, Anya recommends charity evaluators like GiveWell, which has researchers look into the efficacy of the organizations you are looking to donate to. Another option is Animal Charity Evaluators. If you are going to do the research for yourself, try to figure out what the actual activity of the charity is, read research on the intervention or think pieces by sources like Vox or the NY Times, check if their financial information is transparent, and check who is funding them. All of these factors will help you determine where your dollar will have the most impact.How to make decisions based on comparative advantageThe economic principle of comparative advantage helps make decisions like what product is more effectively produced in what country. This can be applied to everyday life decisions too.

Key Resources Mentioned in Today's EpisodeToday's Webinar PowerPoint SlidesReviveHealth's Consumer Report Part ThreeAHA/ACS GuidelinesCMS GuidelinesKey TakeAwaysResults from Our Third Consumer Survey:Many individuals will not come back to health systems immediatelyPeople have delayed their care due to fear of going to hospitals and catching the coronavirus from other patientsAccording to our consumer survey, health systems should be thinking about promoting facility cleanliness because 56% have a lot of concern over a health system's cleanlinessRapid Recovery TimelineEvery market will be different due to multiple factors (Governor, hospital preparedness, larger v. smaller markets)Even if there isn't a 2nd wave of COVID-19, hospitals and health systems should be preparing for the flu in the fall and a possible resurgence of COVID-19 during the fall/winter.First-mover advantageThe 1st priority is protecting delayed or canceled surgeries.There's an opportunity to grow patient base through aggressive marketing.Protect and build market shareThose who move first will be able to avoid forced financial restructuringFirst mover's will have a buffer against future COVID-19 disruptionPlanning Assessment AreasBusiness PrioritiesService-line, profitability, prioritization by patient need, payor, statusOperational ReadinessFacility-by-facility, equipment/supply status, staff readinessMarket AssessmentImpact of COVID-19 on the community, consumer and brand sentimentMarketing CapabilityStatus of Staff, budget, available partnersRapid Recovery Marketing InitiativesConsumer targetingPatient RetentionPatient AcquisitionReputation Assessment & ActionStaff EngagementMeasurement & ROIQ&AQuestion: Can you give some examples of what we'd say or do to stay in front of a patientAnswer: Provide guidelines for how you're going to prioritize patients. Be proactive with telehealth (check-in with scheduled patients). Provide them with content to show that we value. Question: I think this reluctance/fear to engage might mean that our time to convert from initial outreach to actual patients/customers takes much longer than we're used to. How do we ensure that our leaders understand that and fund marketing efforts accordingly? What might have needed three months of funding in the past might require 6 to 12 months of funding.Answer: The planning process should show the value of this marketing initiative and should be prioritized. Question: What do you recommend as low hanging fruit - i.e., data to look at to inform rapid recovery? There is a lot of internal data in our organization, from delayed procedures to referral network patterns to virtual visit data. Any thoughts on the first steps to take?Answer: Personalized messaging will help retain patients we already have. We already have all of their information, so we should take advantage of the ability to talk to them on a personal level.

And that's sad because your home should be your sanctuary.The best remedy for a messy home is decluttering the items you no longer want, need, or use.
