In this week's episode, we're talking about our generations. After Justin's mini-generation was dubbed Geriatric Millennials, we decided to read two examples from Donald Hall's book Essays After Eighty. Also: a Uhaul story, teaching 9/11 essays to Gen Z, a little baseball talk about the "yips," times we biffed it in public, an old-themed lightning round, and lots & lots of old-person complaining about the kids these days. Essays After Eighty: https://bookshop.org/books/essays-after-eighty/9780544570313 “Out the Window” isn’t available in full online, but here’s a brief excerpt from the New Yorker: https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2012/01/23/out-the-window “Dr. Dr. Dr. Dr. Dr. Dr. Dr. Dr. Dr. Dr.” (account required): https://www.narrativemagazine.com/issues/stories-week-2014-2015/story-week/dr-dr-dr-dr-dr-dr-dr-dr-dr-dr-donald-hall A Fresh Air interview with Hall about “Out the Window”: https://freshairarchive.org/segments/donald-hall-poets-view-out-window Rick Ankiel getting the yips: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KDZX525CSvw
Episode Summary: In this episode, our good friend Justin Bowie of JMax Plumbing returns for his third appearance on the podcast where we pick his brain on some of the most commonly asked questions about his trade. After Justin was on the podcast for episode 109, he shared with us that he received several questions, many of which he gets on a regular basis. We got to talking and thought it would be great to have him answer them on the podcast so that they were available to everyone. We know how difficult this topic can be since we had some of these same curiosities back in the day. Listen in as Justin addresses YOUR questions and concerns around hydraulics and plumbing. Topics Discussed: 01:27 - A refresher on hydraulics and common terms that everyone should know 07:44 - Hydraulic calculations that everyone should know 09:42 - The most important thing to do to ensure you have good hydraulics on a pool 11:09 - Improving the hydraulics of an existing system if the pool cannot be replumbed 13:08 - Why so many pools have undersized pipes or a lackluster hydraulic process 16:11 - Hydraulic considerations when plumbing a negative edge or perimeter overflow 17:58 - Calculating the flow and size of the basin to ensure they spill over properly 19:59 - Is there a quick way to size a basin or storage tank? 23:48 - Is it possible to have too low of a velocity? 26:07 - The rule for a straight pipe length in front of a pump on the suction side 29:40 - Changing the orientation of the equipment to gain pipe length 30:15 - Why there are air bubbles in a pump when there is not a suction leak 33:08 - Why leaf canisters plumbed in front of a pump would have air bubbles 35:21 - The highest point a pump can be plumbed over a body of water and still work 39:24 - How detrimental it is to have the pool equipment plumbed far away from a pool? 43:35 - Why run large suction & return lines if they are reduced at the connection points anyway 45:22 - On a remodel with an existing main drain that is two inches, will it help if it is upgraded to two-and-a-half or three-inch plumbing? 46:31 - What is a true Hartford Loop? 48:48 - The difference between a venturi skimmer and a suction skimmer Sponsors: Pentair Lyon Financial Connect with Guest: Website Facebook Instagram Connect with Pool Chasers: Website Instagram Facebook Facebook Group Twitter YouTube Patreon Key Quotes from Episode: Hydraulics is basically the properties of water and their characteristics inside of a plumbing system. All the plumbing fittings, pipe, the sizes, the elevations of the equipment, the features—those all play a part in hydraulics. When you think of a pump in a plumbing system, the pump is not physically pulling water in. What it’s doing is creating a vacuum. It’s creating low pressure. The way that water moves in a plumbing system if it wants to move from high pressure to low pressure. It’s trying to equalize. The most important thing you can do to ensure you have good hydraulics on a pool is to look at the velocity of the system: Slow the water down as much as you can. Velocity is the biggest driving factor in how much friction loss you have in your plumbing system. A lot of the things that happen from having undersized plumbing are hidden to the eye. If you’ve ever seen a pool under construction with a spa, you’ll usually see a Hartford Loop in the spa. A Hartford Loop is a section of plumbing that rises higher than the water level in the spa.
In this week's episode of the Lindsey Elmore Show, Lindsey has a raw and real conversation with recovering alcoholic and real estate investor Justin Balunsat. He left his six figure income job to start Just Divine Properties, which is now a successful real estate company focusing on large scale luxury renovations and additions. But Justin's story is far from normal. He was raised in a military family, and survived sexual abuse from both men and women. He became a college athlete and survived addiction. He has now come to the understanding that one of the most important things we can do is protect our state of mind. After Justin's interview, we hear from his fiancée Devinne Bravoco who was with him during the days of his drinking, and even has stood by his side when she found him drunk on the streets of New York. She pours her heart into a letter to him, detailing their highs, and lows, and why she is grateful to have made it through their struggles together.
Justin and JR are together once again, in person, at Justin’s house in Arkansas. They talk about having their first live show since March and update everyone on all the live shows coming up as well as the new live album that just released. After Justin’s beloved dog, Hank, went over the rainbow bridge, he has adamantly disagreed with his wife’s about getting a new puppy. And for the first time ever, the guys play a round of music trivia game—"Stump the Handler.” Justin closes the show out with another acoustic cover that you won’t want to miss.
In this episode, I am excited to interview Justin Colby who is the Founder and President of The Science of Flipping and Phoenix Wealth Builders. The Science of Flipping is a top-ranked real estate investing podcast and Justin now has a second podcast called The Entrepreneur DNA for those going through the entrepreneurial journey. His real estate investment company, Phoenix Wealth Builders, specializes in purchasing, rehab, wholesaling, and wholetailing properties in the Metro Phoenix Area and they have flipped and wholesaled over 1500 properties to date. Justin has been called a master at finding deals in a market that many say is the most difficult market to be a real estate investor. Justin began by telling us that he started as a realtor in 2005 and then bought a brokerage with a friend. He talked about how it was almost impossible not to make a lot of money in real estate in the years before the market crash. Being really young at that time, he spent a ton of money, had a really expensive car and condo, which all went away in 2007. He shares how he lost everything and ended up sleeping on his buddy’s couch. Things started to turn around for Justin when he and a friend decided to begin investing in real estate. They ended up using transactional funding for their deals, which was popular at that time, where they would get a deal funded and closed basically simultaneously or same day. I asked if, at this time, he was doing any work on these properties and he said no, effectively what he was doing was wholetailing. Justin talked about setting a goal for himself of calling 100 realtors a day in order to find deals and people to work with, and it took a full nine months before they had their first deal. After Justin talked about his resilience and fortitude in getting some traction in his new business, I asked him to share how he gets his deals. He addressed several different marketing strategies, including pay per click advertising, direct mail, cold-calling and auto-texting, and driving for dollars. Justin also examined the level of seller motivation and relative cost for each, as well. I then asked Justin to describe how he is brokering deals by working with iBuyer companies such as Opendoor and Offerpad. If a deal isn’t attractive to his company for wholesaling, wholetailing, flipping, or even buy-and-hold, he will inquire with his realtor about the price one of these companies will offer the seller for their home and take a portion of the transaction fees if he can successfully hook them up. This is a really creative way of working with them instead of getting swallowed up by them as a smaller investor. We discussed how the COVID pandemic was affecting his business and how he has been able to adapt. Justin says he really prides himself on the ability to stay flexible and make adjustments, if necessary. He talks about how he had refocused his energy on his business after a partnership fell through, and when the pandemic hit, it was actually good timing for him. Justin was incredibly transparent in his business dealings and if you join us I know you will get a ton of actionable wisdom!

On this episode, I talk with Justin Gilchrist from Optimum Feedback. Show notes >> https://richardpatey.com/optimumfeedback Justin started Centurica back in 2012/13 with Bryan O’Neil (who is now over at the online website brokerage quietlightbrokerage.com) as they saw a need to protect people from fraud from unethical sellers who were misrepresenting their sites. Bryan was the original founder of FE International with Thomas who left to start Centurica. Justin & Joe set up Empire Flippers (then Adsense Flippers) around that time too. Bryan contacted Justin to help start Centurica to systemize due diligence. Justin started in online business as a graphic designer in 2003/4 when a lot of offline companies were working out that ecommerce would be big for them. He built sites for them but found that they expected traffic to just turn up so he reached out to a company who he built the site for and bought it back off him and added new content to top performing pages. We discuss how SaaS companies consider their asset price in terms of multiple of revenue rather than profit and ask for insane valuations. After Justin sold Centurica he also sold all of his portfolio sites apart from a supplement e-commerce site for cashflow, in order to focus on his SaaS Optimum Feedback.
