TranscriptHey thereSo I am walking the backside of this little meadow, forested area where my mom livesIt's on the edges of old farmland and I'm about to hop over a split rail fence, which is a little awkward, it's a little tallThere's some, a lot of native plants around here, and also some volunteers from elsewhereOregon ash and cottonwood, willow, aspenThere's a grove of hawthorn in full flowerThis is a place where deer hang outFloods in the winterIt's marshy where I am right nowI could probably set up a tent back hereIt's quietI've just come back from the far east side of the stateI was off grid, down in a canyon for four days, in some pretty crazy country, working on a project and just existing reallyI think it was probably the least I've interacted with screens and media in maybe a decadeI didn't really have cell phone signal for about a week and a half, pretty intentionallyI basically just didn't turn my phone on unless I needed navigationAnd then there were three nights and four days when I was down in the bottom of this canyon where I really didn't do anything at allI just kind of existed down thereAte food and had a little fire now and thenWatched the light changeAnd it was beautiful and hard, easy, lonely, quiet, all the thingsAnd I've been thinking a lot about why I do what I do, my work as an artist and personI don't want to think about it too much, but doing something like that made me really consider a lot about why I make things, share things, live the way I doThere's just a lot thereThere's a lot of assumptions, a lot of reasons I've been doing stuff for yearsA lot of time passed, a lot of habits, that kind of thingNow I'm in the Grove of CottonwoodsIt's kind of a flood groveSome reeds back in hereMaybe there's sedgesSo I don't have a lot of answers about why, but I think I discovered a new language of some kind down in that canyonDefinitely a new relationship with myselfThere wasn't much to hide down thereTurns out being alone for long periods of time is pretty toughI mean, I've done it before, but this was different somehowIt's really good to do, but it's not easy sometimesParts of it aren't easyParts of it are really incredibleIt's always funny to be alone in a place like that and run into a person once in a while and realize that pretty much everybody else is out there with other peopleIt really got me thinking about the reasons why people do things and why I do thingsFor me, a lot of it is to get away from loneliness, actuallyFrom being alone with my own thoughtsPartially because they can be boringPartially because it's really not maybe the healthiest long term to always just be alone with one's own thoughtsBut I think that there's something really deep thereAnd I don't consume much mediaI mean, maybe a podcast every two or three daysSometimes I don't listen to one for a week or soBut something I thought was really strange down there is I had songs that I hadn't listened to for many days just repeatedly looping in my headAnd it was almost like my mind was just spinning in neutral, trying to find something stimulating to remember or to latch on toOr maybe it was just digesting everythingMy friend Martin said metabolizing, which I really likeActually metabolizing the experiences that I've hadAnd I think it takes a really silent, open, empty space without any direction, honestlyNo structureNo one else aroundNo informationJust the sun rising and settingAnd sitting in places like that really makes me reconsider kind of my whole life.Why do I do what I do? Why do I want to share writing and recordings with people? What's really at the base of all that? What need of mine is being met? Am I doing it as a means to an end? Or am I doing it as an end in and of itself? And I've decided pretty conclusively that I want to do things in my life that are an end in and of themselvesI don't want to be chasing different activities for a lot of my life because they're giving me something that's not inside of the activity itselfAnd I think I do want to share what I make, but it's difficult to know whether that's worthwhile or not for othersAnd so I decided that I'll do it for my own joy and my own insightsAnd if others want to come along for the ride and see what's thereI mean, I've been doing it this way all along, but I think that there's always these shadow sides, like hidden unconscious sides of any activity or anything a person does that aren't fully available to them unless they sit and really delve into the whyAnd an activity I've been doing recently is asking myself why seven or eight times about something really gets down to the root of what's going onIt's hardI feel like my mind wants to squirm away from those kinds of inquiriesBut I think it's pretty necessary and helpful in the long runI'm leaning on a tree and there's moss on itIt's youngWhat happened is it fell overProbably got blown overThat happened a while agoThe original shoot has since been pruned off by the tree itselfIt's broken off and healed offAnd right above it, the tree is totally horizontal from where it fellAnd right above that crook, there's another strong, young stem coming out at a 90 degree angleAnd there is one back further, too, before this one was the main apical meristem, I think is what it's called, which I learned about in my pruning work over the last couple of monthsAnd that one's now 20 feet tall and the roots are still somehow connectedAnd in fact, the trees put down more roots to stabilize and this tree is probably going to be here a long time nowIt's nice to see that when things get knocked over, they can get up againThat's kind of how I felt this last yearLots of knocking over, getting up againI think I can hear seven different birds singing right nowThanks for listening.

How can the intersection of franchise growth, impact and love create a powerful force for good?Today's guest, Paul Blavin, is sharing his journey from a conventional money-minded career into a mission-driven path focused on love, service and his venture into the franchising space. Paul shares his realization that business success is not just about money but about the character and passion of the people at the helm. Because at the end of the day it's the grit, heart and a servant mindset who truly wins the day.Paul also shares about his work with the Blavin Scholars where he helps change the lives of youth who've aged out of the foster care system, and then dives into Beloved Brands where his goal is to break down barriers to franchising and have business leaders who are not defined by their bank account but by their quest to make a difference.Paul Blavin is a serial social venture entrepreneur. Most recently, he is the co-founder and Vice Chairman of Mercy BioAnalytics. He began his career in 1986 as an investment banker with Citibank and Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette. He then served as the President of First Mercury Financial Corporation, a publicly traded insurance company. He also co-founded and managed a private investment partnership – PWB Value Partners, L.P. – which began in 1995 with three investors and $3.2 million under management. Over 14 years, the business grew to more than 80 investors and approximately $2.0 billion, consistently outperforming the S&P 500 Index, net of all fees and expenses.Paul's primary philanthropic focus is youth life transformation for those who need it the most and are least able to help themselves. Paul and Amy, his wife of 32+ years, have immersed themselves in the following programs: Blavin Scholars; Transformational Prison Project; Freehab; Thrive Scholars; Anti-Recidivism Coalition; and Mully Children's Family.So, if you are ready to discover how Paul is changing lives one franchise at a time, fostering a legacy of love, support and service and answering the question of what happens when love becomes the cornerstone of driving impact and success then this episode is for you!Connect with PaulText at - (480 - 540 - 5566)Episode Highlights:Paul Blavin's experience and philosophyPaul's belief that character, dedication and service are key traits for successful entrepreneursPaul's personal turning point 16 years agoThe inception of Blavin Scholars to support youth from foster carePaul's entry into franchisingThe Beloved Brands conceptOverview of the Beloved Brands portfolio of brandsLong term goals for Beloved BrandsThe importance of character and perseverance for franchisees over financial prerequisitesThe impact of incorporating community service into business models.Connect with Tracy Personal LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tracy-panase/ JBF LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/jbfsale JBF Franchise System - https://jbfsalefranchise.com/ Email: podcast@jbfsale.com Connect with Shannon Personal LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/shannonwilburn/ JBF LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/jbfsale

What happens when an entire era of anti-corruption enforcement is put on pause? Is this a strategic move to bolster American businesses or a dangerous rollback of corporate accountability? In an unprecedented move, the Trump administration has hit the brakes on FCPA enforcement for at least 180 days, citing concerns over U.S. economic competitiveness and national security. In this episode of Corruption, Crime, and Compliance, Michael Volkov breaks down the implications of this game-changing executive order. The executive order claims that FCPA enforcement has been stretched beyond its original intent, harming American businesses while benefiting foreign competitors. With the Department of Justice now ordered to reassess its approach to anti-bribery enforcement, the business and legal communities are left wondering—what happens next? Will companies adjust their compliance strategies, or will global enforcement trends keep them in check?You'll hear him discuss:The Trump administration's rationale for halting FCPA enforcement and why the decision was both surprising and expectedThe executive order's directive to the Attorney General to reassess FCPA investigations and enforcement prioritiesThe shift in DOJ focus from corporate bribery cases to prosecuting cartels and transnational criminal organizationsThe potential impact on global anti-corruption efforts, as countries like the UK, France, and Brazil continue enforcing their own bribery lawsThe uncertainty surrounding DOJ's forthcoming guidance and what companies should anticipate in the next 180 daysThe broader implications for corporate compliance programs, risk assessments, and international business strategyThe historical context of past efforts to reform the FCPA and why similar arguments were made over a decade agoThe potential for companies to seek remedial measures for past FCPA enforcement actions and the challenges in implementing such a policyHow this shift in enforcement priorities may affect corporate ethics, internal investigations, and global compliance expectationsResourcesMichael Volkov on LinkedIn | TwitterThe Volkov Law Group

After distancing themselves from Trump during his first administration—and publicly rebuking him after the events of January 6, 2021—many Silicon Valley leaders are now taking a softer approach. Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg, and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman have each pledged, through their companies or their personal coffers, individual $1 million donations to Trump's inauguration fund. The Google co-founder Sergey Brin, who protested Trump's immigration policies in 2017, apparently dined at Mar-a-Lago with Trump and Google's CEO, Sundar Pichai, this month; Bezos, along with the the heads of TikTok and Netflix, are reportedly on the schedule there this week too. As Trump put it in a press conference today: “In the first term, everybody was fighting me. In this term, everybody wants to be my friend.”知识点：tussle v./ˈtʌsəl/If one person tussles with another, or if they tussle, they get hold of each other and struggle or fight. 扭打• They ended up ripping down perimeter fencing and tussling with the security staff.他们最终扯掉了周边的栅栏，并和保安⼈员扭打起来。• He grabbed my microphone and we tussled over that. 他抓住我的话筒，我们为此扭打起来。获取外刊的完整原文以及精讲笔记，请关注微信公众号「早安英文」，回复“外刊”即可。更多有意思的英语干货等着你！【节目介绍】《早安英文-每日外刊精读》，带你精读最新外刊，了解国际最热事件：分析语法结构，拆解长难句，最接地气的翻译，还有重点词汇讲解。所有选题均来自于《经济学人》《纽约时报》《华尔街日报》《华盛顿邮报》《大西洋月刊》《科学杂志》《国家地理》等国际一线外刊。【适合谁听】1、关注时事热点新闻，想要学习最新最潮流英文表达的英文学习者2、任何想通过地道英文提高听、说、读、写能力的英文学习者3、想快速掌握表达，有出国学习和旅游计划的英语爱好者4、参加各类英语考试的应试者（如大学英语四六级、托福雅思、考研等）【你将获得】1、超过1000篇外刊精读课程，拓展丰富语言表达和文化背景2、逐词、逐句精确讲解，系统掌握英语词汇、听力、阅读和语法3、每期内附学习笔记，包含全文注释、长难句解析、疑难语法点等，帮助扫除阅读障碍。

What happens when you pair the rich culinary culture of Kansas City with the traditional brewing methods of German beer? KC Bier Co. was founded by Steve Holle, whose love of German beer, his heritage, time spent in the country, and passion for craft brewing were the perfect recipe for starting a traditional German brewery in the heart of Kansas City. He joined this episode of Manufacturing Happy Hour as part of our MADE HERE series, created in partnership with ISN, the Industrial Solutions Network, which features stories from the region's most important industrial operations. Steve takes us on a journey through the history of German brewing techniques and why he adopts the same traditions that have served German beer lovers for centuries. While Steve wasn't always in the brewing business, he cultivated his passion for years before finally opening the doors to KC Bier Co. and explains why he decided to focus on the niche of German beer.We swap beer stories, discuss the most underrated German beers, and talk about the impact breweries like KC Bier Co. are having on the bustling culinary scene in Kansas City. There are some great insights in this episode for manufacturers on the power of specializing rather than trying to be everything to everyone, plus much more. In this episode, find out:Steve explains how he first fell in love with German beer due to his heritage and a semester spent in GermanyWhy KC Bier Co. follows “Reinheitsgebot” methods, the German beer purity law that meant beer could only be made with specific ingredients Steve explains what led up to his starting KC Bier Co. and how his plans to become a craft brewer started long agoThe most underrated styles of German beer and how they compare to American lagers How Kansas City's rich culinary scene ties perfectly into the growing brewery scene What the community interaction with competitor brewers and customers has been like for KC Bier Co.What Steve wished more people knew about KC's food and drinks cultureSteve shares his advice for starting a new venture later in lifeEnjoying the show? Please leave us a review here. Even one sentence helps. It's feedback from Manufacturing All-Stars like you that keeps us going!Tweetable Quotes:“Respect what you're doing and make sure you do it well rather than just thinking, ‘oh, that sounds like something fun I'd like to do.'”“I think craft brewing is not so much about being everything to everybody, but it's having a passion for something that you're doing and trying to be the best at that niche that you want to work in.”“Some people question why we don't make stouts and everything else. And I think by focusing on something so specific, we actually bring more variety to the beer drinkers in Kansas City because no one else really does what we do.”Links & mentions:KC Bier Co., Brewer of German-style bier using only water, yeast, and all-imported German malt and hops with a Bavarian-style bierhalle and biergarten in Kansas City, MOMake sure to visit http://manufacturinghappyhour.com for detailed show notes and a full list of resources mentioned in this episode.

William C. Dear - O.J. is Innocent and I Can Prove It2 days agoThe shocking truth about the murders of Nicole Simpson and Ron Goldman.Nicole Simpson and Ron Goldman were brutally murdered at Nicole's home on Bundy Drive in Brentwood, California, on the night of June 12, 1994. The weeks and months that followed were full of spectacle, including a much-watched car chase and the eventual arrest of O. J. Simpson for the murders. The televised trial that followed was unlike any that the nation had ever seen. Long convinced of O. J.'s guilt, the world was shocked when the jury of the "trial of the century" read the verdict of not guilty.To this day, the LAPD, Los Angeles District Attorney's office, mainstream media, and much of the world at large remain firmly convinced that O. J. Simpson literally got away with murder. According to private investigator William Dear, it is precisely this assuredness that has led both the police and public to overlook a far more likely suspect. Dear now compiles more than 16 years of investigation by his team of forensic experts and presents evidence that O. J. was not the killer.Audio BookBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.

229 – How often do you hear: "The blood of Jesus saves you from your sins," or something to that effect?The more I have pondered and prayed about all the Bible has to say about God's forgiveness of sins, Jesus's crucifixion, and more specifically, the blood of Jesus, I've come to the conclusion that there's more to forgiveness than just the fact that Jesus's blood was shed.Spoiler Alert:This may sound a little controversial at first, but when you listen to this episode, you'll understand what I'm talking about.What really got me to thinking is something Paul says in 1 Corinthians, Chapter 15, about the crucifixion, the resurrection, forgiveness of sins, and our faith.Too many Christians pass over this crucial passage of Scripture and miss the bigger picture of what Paul is saying about salvation and forgiveness.That's what this episode is all about, Getting a bigger picture of how and why our sins are forgivenThe blood of Jesus and why it's not just about the literal blood that flowed through his veins 2,000 years agoThe deeper spiritual meaning of what the blood of Jesus representsWhy the crucifixion of Jesus, along with his blood, are not enough to free us from sinLet me know your thoughts on this topic. I'd love to hear your thoughts, even if you disagree.

Level 3 Owning MediaZionist Jews are an ownership class . They get capital from us and they just buy up existing functional businesses. As owners they have real wealth created by others ideas and labor. A real parasite. Not only do they get foreign aid, they actually loan some of it back to us with interest. They didn't create the sports teams, the movie industry, music industry or anything else. They just own it with capital acquired through extortion. To extort you out of money then lend it to you at interest is the shifty things on the planet. These baby penis vampires run pedophile rings, steal organs, assist illegal immigration and want to mind-f**k your son into chopping his dick off. It is a Demonic pantheon. But no industry capture is more vital or important than grabbing the mass media and social media.“Give us 20 years and we will take over your media and destroy your country”. That was 23 years agoThe ownership class can now act to finance the bribing operation, the blackmail operation, as well as Israel affiliates whose job it is to smear dissenting voice, ruin their reputations, de-platform them or even jail them if they can. It is different than blackmail because it just relies on defamation. Ironically They also run the Anti-Defamation League, but in reality it is absolutely the defamation league. This dovetails with controlling the media. Not only do they filter the news you get to hear, they openly get to smear censor anyone who disagrees. The Origin This is a public episode.

You can mix and match these contrasting colors to create something that is so beautiful and uniquely you." - Aaronica B. Cole, Stitch Please, Episode #206"People think of clothing as something superficial... They don't dig deeper and understand the psychology behind fashion and behind the clothing choices that we make. Imagine walking around and only feeling good enough to wear a sack... as opposed to being able to see your body as being beautiful enough to actually adorn it." - Aaronica B. Cole, Stitch Please, Episode #206"I think what I've been thinking a lot about is a lot of the knowledge systems that have been developed for sewing in particular and for fashion by extension, were never made with black bodies in mind, period done. And it is, I think a flaw, a type of little flaw in the industry that started as something small in the 1940s but has never changed." - Lisa Woolfork, Stitch Please, Episode #206"And so it's become in my mind malignant. I find it malignant and I find it very negative, right? When we look at size charts, when we look at what proportions are supposed to be, but those were designed by, they looked only at the bodies of white women." - Lisa Woolfork, Stitch Please, Episode #206"Why should I look at this mainstream over here when, in fact, I am the mainstream." - Aaronica B. Cole, Stitch Please, Episode #206"I think that for too long marginalized people, the process of marginalization requires that we set aside what feels good and right to us because it's not what the majority does but that it's ridiculous. It's kind of like trying to make sure that you can fit in somebody else's clothes, right? We, we make our own clothes because we want things to fit us." - Lisa Woolfork, Stitch Please, Episode #206"I'm always talking about possibility models. It is important. It is hard for you to become that which you have never seen and you are visible out in the world doing amazing things and the victory is in the visibility and you have absolutely every right to be." - Lisa Woolfork, Stitch Please, Episode #206 Resources Mentioned:Patterns for PiratesBernina (Sewing machine brand)Afros & Audio (Organization)Black Podcasters AssociationBlack Podcast AwardsWomen of Color Podcast (Organization)Stay Connected:YouTube: Black Women StitchInstagram: Black Women StitchFacebook: Stitch Please PodcastLisa WoolforkInstagram: Lisa WoolforkTwitter: Lisa Woolfork Aaronica B.

Mike Tyson spoke from experience when he said “everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth”. 2022 was a punch in the mouth to investors everywhere and resulted in emotional volatility in markets according to Steven Andrew, manager of M&G Episode Income. Steven talks us about investor optimism — and pessimism — across a range of assets, notably UK equities and emerging market bonds. We also consider how human behaviour influences pricing behaviour and market data, ultimately causing continued emotional uncertainty as we head further into 2023. What's covered in this episode: Why investor optimism was high at the start of 2023Have investors moved to a period of complacency?Is doom and gloom a rational reaction to the UK market?Less structural appetite for UK equities on the global marketWhy Europe is currently “flavour of the month” for investorsInvestor behaviour and the banking sector — and how it compares to 15 years agoThe manager's views on Japanese equitiesTwo reasons why the M&G Episode Income doesn't currently hold any propertyWhy take the risk in emerging market and high yield bonds today?Being prepared to act amid volatilityWhy market — and human — shock has caused errors in market pricing dataEmotional uncertainty driving markets forwardWhy price behaviour is all about understanding the nature of the worldMore about the fund: The M&G Episode Income fund invests directly in individual stocks and bonds, while property exposure is gained by investing in property funds. The name “Episode” refers to those periods of time when investors' emotions cause them to act irrationally. The manager uses behavioural finance to find pockets of value and invest against the herd, rather than following it.Learn more on fundcalibre.comPlease remember, we've been discussing individual companies to bring investing to life for you.

No one becomes successful overnight. People around us simply seem to work and work. Eventually, they succeed. Consider Brecht Palombo, the man behind the investing weekly #AltReports. In business, he has achieved great success. But his life wasn't a smooth ascent into a trajectory of achievement; rather, it was marked by many twists and turns. Brecht always worked three jobs but was never good with money. He got to the point where he got eviction notices for not paying rent and had a car repossessed when he was 21. He was good at making money but had no idea how to manage it. Brecht then decided to get into real estate. In 2008, his traditional real estate sales went down from $220,000 to $19,000, doing the same amount of work. He had all different kinds of expenses and had tons of debts with no revenue at all for a couple of years. After a year and a half, he had nothing.He got to the point where he filed for bankruptcy and learned tremendous humility as he struggled through the ignominyof business debts and foreclosures. So much that he had no choice but to seek shelter from his mother and his wife and children to cope with the predicament he was in. To get out of the situation, Brecht looked for a way to earn moneyagain, where he learned to sell data. In 2009, he had his first software product even though he didn't have a technical background. Despite the company's success, there came a time when he lost interest in talking about the same topics, so he decided to sell the software as a service (SaaS) app he had spent the better part of a decade developing. His company was making $300,000 in the last couple of years before he sold the business. The best part was that he was spending very little time working in the business. After the exit, Brecht and his family drove off with no schedule and camped, helping him recenter his life and making him feel more worthy and successful.Brecht's journey as an entrepreneur and investor has not been without its share of obstacles, but he has met each one head-on and emerged stronger on the other side. This has encouraged him to take a more thoughtful approach to life and work in pursuit of what matters most. That despite any obstacles you encounter in life, like seeking shelter from your parents as an adult, it is fine as long as you know how to navigate yourself from there. Brecht engages Jamie in a conversation rich in anecdotes of business hardships and the lessons that may be learned from them. These include dealing with cash-flow issues, facing an unanticipated economic slump, and so on.Quotes:“Instead of just getting up and grinding away the computer every day, I have to be much more deliberate in what I was doing. I would have to only do the things that mattered. That allowed other people to do what they could to run the business, which was a major letting go period for me.” "I haven't been able to get over the feeling that now I have more money than I've ever had before, it could all disappear in a moment. It has never left me.”Brecht talks about his new business venture #AltReportsSelling the business, Distressed Pro, which he built 12 years agoThe defining moment that led Brecht to make a pivotal change of selling his businessDespite the success of his business, Brecht reflects that he struggled with depressionSelling everything they owned and unpacked into a van and trailer with three kids and a dog, and set off on a 15-month trip.The 15 month-trip that dramatically transformed his mindset and businessHitting a plateau in the businessMoving into his mother with his wife and kids to seek shelter from a business slumpSelling his business in 15 days for more than seven figuresMoney alone doesn't bring you happinessBrecht discusses his first business when he was 15 years old How Brecht's procrastination, which plagued him in his early 20s, was a source of greatdifficulty for himBrecht's poor financial management in his early 20s and how he overcame itThat time when Brecht got into the real estate businessThe ups and downs he experienced first-hand as a realtor How Brecht confronted enormous expenses and business debts with no income at all as a realtorConfronted with the prospect of insolvency and foreclosure, he thought back to the period when he relocated his family—wife and two children—into his mother's home.How The 4-Hour Workweek book by Timothy Ferriss led him to his AHA! momentHow Brecht transitioned from being an auctioneer to a full-time non-technical software entrepreneur.Brecht recalls the birth of his podcast and that time when he got his first paying sign-up for $80Getting hacked, which shut off the whole site The Hustle Culture The power of simple and clear systems that are easily duplicatedThe importance of having competent people who can execute the way you need things to be executedBrecht's system approach: Eliminate - Automate – Delegate – ImproveThe driving force of financial securityHow being present is the most effective thing you can doThe one thing most people misunderstand about BrechtA piece of advice for his 18-year-old self Sharing a cup of coffee with Ben FranklinThat one meal to eat for the rest of his lifeBusiness struggles or challenges in his business right now #AltReports: A fun, irreverent, daily newsletter for investors.Books and ResourcesThe 4-Hour Workweek by Timothy FerrissTurnaround Management Association: TMAAmerican Bankruptcy InstituteConnect with BrechtLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/brecht/Twitter: https://twitter.com/brechtifyWebsite: https://brechtpalombo.com/Podcast: https://bootstrappedwithkids.com/author/brecht/If you want to know more about #AltReports and the services they offer, you may visit https://altreports.com/Support Labrador LendingWEBSITE: https://labradorlending.com/LINKEDIN: https://www.linkedin.com/company/71512077/admin/FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/labradorlendingTWITTER: https://twitter.com/LabLendLLCINSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/labradorlendingllc/YOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UChYrpCUlqFYLy4HngRrmU9QTIKTOK: https://www.tiktok.com/@labradorlendingllc?lang=enConnect with JamieLINKEDIN: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jamie-bateman-5359a811/TWITTER: https://twitter.com/batemanjamesINSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/batemanjames11/Investment OpportunityAre you an accredited investor interested in monthly cash flow from an investment backed by physical real estate?Our income fund-- which is uncorrelated to publicly traded stocks and bonds--invests in first-lien mortgage notesdiversified by geography, property value, and borrower type.

“I was watching myself doing these behaviors and I thought: [...] ‘do I ever have to act like that? And who could I be, if I'm not acting like that? What could I create? How much energy am I expending?” In this episode of Power Presence Academy, I talk to Carita Walker, the Chief Legal Officer, General Counsel, and Head of Legal for Shell Recharge Solutions Americas and Asia. Carita shares some of the truly valuable lessons she has learned along her leadership journey.  She reminds us how stereotypes can make us feel diminished and hold us back.  Carita emphasizes the importance of expressing ourselves authentically to maximize our inner power.  She offers important lessons of experience relevant to all leaders seeking to find and express their voice.In this episode:Carita's path toward becoming General Counsel The advice Carita would give herself when she started out her leadership journey 15 years agoThe importance of authenticity and expressing all sides of yourselfOvercoming stereotypes that hold you backUnpacking the imposter phenomenon and why women face itFinding your leadership voiceAnd more!Power Presence Academy: Practical Wisdom for Leaders is the go-to podcast for anyone who leads.

She helps leaders ground themselves with confidence, connection, and purpose and learn to lead with Less Ego, More Soul.Noteworthy Quotes from This Episode“There have been moments where I've had to look at myself and say: ‘you know what? I'm not even sure what my authentic self is, because I've been trying to fit this particular mold and trying to be this particular thing, because that's what society says I should do, or how I should act.”“It's too much work to try to be someone else or to try to fit into a mold. I've just learned, and I'm seeing that the more authentic I am, the more authentic I see other people. I think that's a better formula for success.”“In my opinion, there's no reason why extraordinarily competent women, experienced women, accomplished women, should walk around feeling as if they don't belong.””I think people don't realize that as we move up in an organization, you're not just Carita, you're the role. And people are identifying us with that role and not as the person so much.”“I think that the roles that we are in as leaders are just conduits for bigger things for us to have an impact on the world, or even to what our true purpose is in life.”If you enjoyed this episode, please leave a review on Apple Podcasts.  Select “Listen in Apple Podcasts,” then choose the “Ratings & Reviews” tab to share what you think.  Connect with today's guest on LinkedIn: Carita Walker Connect with Janet Ioli:Website: janetioli.comLinkedin: Janet IoliInstagram: @janetioliJanet is the founder of Power Presence Academy.

The Real Estate News Brief - Week Ending April 30, 2022; Growing Demand for ARMs, The 7-Year Foreclosure, Top Complaints about NeighborsIn this Real Estate News Brief for the week ending April 30th, 2022... you'll hear about the surging demand for adjustable-rate mortgages, the years it takes to foreclose in some states, and the top reasons people dislike their neighbors.Hi, I'm Kathy Fettke and this is Real Estate News for Investors. Before we start, I want to let you know that we are hosting our first live event in over 2 1/2 years on May 21st in St Petersburg Florida. I'll be there giving my 2022 Housing Update, and we'll also have property teams from 10 different markets to update us on what's going on in their markets and share available income properties. We'll also have a tour of rental properties in St Pete on Sunday and then Jacksonville on Monday. Check it out at newsforinvestors.com Economic NewsWe begin with economic news from this past week, and more concerns about inflation. The Federal Reserve's preferred inflation index rose again in March to an annual rate of 6.6%. That's up from an annual rate of 6.4% in February. But there are signs that inflation may be hitting a peak because the core rate of inflation went down for the first time in a year. The core rate excludes food and energy and decreased from 5.3% to 5.2% in March. The Fed believes the PCE is more accurate than the consumer price index or CPI because it's more comprehensive. (1)Despite all the worries about inflation, the job market is going strong. Initial claims were down 5,000 to just 180,000 last week. Continuing claims were also down to their lowest level since 1970, at approximately 1.41 million. (2)Rising mortgage rates are putting a damper on new home sales. The Census Bureau says that sales dropped 8.6% in March to an annual rate of 763,000. High prices are also discouraging buyers. The median price for a new home was $436,700 in March. That's about $77,000 more than it was in March of last year. (3)Pending home sales for existing homes were also down in March. The National Association of Realtors says they dipped 1.2%. It is predicting that sales will be down a total of 9% for the year. NAR's chief economist Lawrence Yun expects multiple offers to disappear, and calmer, more normal conditions to replace the homebuying frenzy we've been witnessing. (4)Because demand remains high for housing, home prices continue to rise. The S&P CoreLogic Case-Shiller 20-city index was up 2.4% in February. That brought the annual rate up to 20.2%. At a national level, annual home price growth rose to 19.8%. The Federal Housing Finance Agency reported similar results. It shows that home prices rose 19.4% year-over-year in February which was a 2.1% increase from January. (5)There are mixed reports on consumer sentiment. A survey on consumer confidence shows it dipped slightly in April because of inflation. But it also shows that consumers are still spending money on big-ticket items, despite the high prices. (6) Meantime, the University of Michigan's consumer sentiment index jumped higher by several points. Consumers are reportedly happy that gas prices have gone back down a bit, and are feeling more optimistic about the future. (7)Mortgage RatesMortgage rates didn't move much, but the average 30-year fixed-rate mortgage remains above the 5% level. Freddie Mac says it was down just one basis point to 5.1%. The 15-year was up 2 points to 4.4%. (8)In other news making headlines…ARMs In High Demand as Fixed Rates RiseMore home buyers are choosing adjustable-rate loans to keep mortgage payments lower at the beginning of their loan term. The Mortgage Bankers Association says demand for ARMs has “doubled” compared to three months agoThe interest rate for an ARM was 3.78% last week, according to Freddie Mac. The Mortgage Bankers Association says the average rate for a 5-year ARM was 4.28%. Both are lower than the 30-year fixed rate, and that's driving up demand. (9)The Lengthy Process of ForeclosureBuying a foreclosure might get you a great price on a home, but in some places, the length of time it takes to foreclose could eclipse any monetary value. ATTOM Data Solutions published a report on the states with the longest average times to foreclose, and the winner was Hawaii, at 2,578 days. That's a little longer than 7 years. Louisiana, is second on the list with an average of about 2,000 days or 5.5 years. Other states on the top ten list include Kentucky, Nevada, Connecticut, New York, Florida, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and New Mexico. New Mexico was last on the list but foreclosures there still take more than 3.5 years. (10)At the other end of the spectrum are states with the fastest foreclosure process. Montana came out at the top of that list, at 133 days. Mississippi was second at 146 days, and West Virginia was third at 197 days.What's Up with the Neighbors?The last story I'd like to share with you is a report on the top reasons Americans don't like their neighbors. According to a Lending Tree survey, 28% of the participants said their neighbors “give off a weird vibe.” Other reasons include noise levels, rudeness, disruptive pets, being nosy, and unruly kids. Some people also said they don't like it when their neighbors have guests that park in front of their house, or their parking space. Smoking was listed by 11% of the people. 4% said they had issues with their neighbors' political views, and 3% said they were not happy that their neighbors were using their homes as short-term rentals. (11)It's interesting that so few people listed short-term rentals as a problem, given all the controversy about how much disruption they cause, or don't cause. Of course, it's often the case that people who are disgruntled about an issue will speak out more loudly than the ones who don't mind.That's it for today. Check the show notes for links.

Let me tell you a story about pricing a unique home in AustinIn November 2020 I listed a rare property in a neighborhood (off of Bee Caves Road & Cuernavaca Drive near Austin Lake Estates.  This small affordable section Called Lake Ridge Estates is located blocks from Lake Austin where hippies and lake enthusiasts hung out in their mobile homes in the 60's.  The important point is that  the city of Austin has grown and families moved in to be within 15-20 minutes of Downtown, located in the renowned Eanes School District. The neighborhood has matured but as folks have torn down and rebuilt homes the amount of turnover and recent comparable sales in that section peaked @ a price of $850k.  The home I marketed sits on about an acre land, with a custom pool and had been remodeled from the studs and a casita was added in 2019. How was I going to capture a fair price the home? Here's What happened.  I priced the main house with price per square foot adjusted it upwards due to for low number of days on the marketI priced the casita separately.  I priced recent lots that sold and added that to the value I added the price of a pool (50% of value)I adjusted for market conditions (nothing on the market) Nothing recently available in ANY part of town.The seller COMPLETELY prepared for resalePRICE - $1.25M several hundred thousand above the compsLOCATIONAustin's most desirable school districtOne of a kind OVERSIZED lot The setting was gated and privateCONDITIONThe main house was Vacant, freshly painted and ready for move in.It included features that are important to many buyer types including smart home technology, custom inground pool, a variety of decks and idillic vantage pointsAVAILABILITY OF SIMILAR PROPERTIESThe home had a casita built just over a year agoThe property was gated with a detached garage.Few properties like it existed in the area but none had sold in the past year so it was viewed as an anomalyWhat's the moral of the story?Pricing by dollar per square foot only just might leave money on the table that you deserve

Among the olive groves of Moria, on the Greek island of Lesbos, a makeshift city of tents and containers housed thousands of asylum seekers who had fled conflict and hardship in Africa, the Middle East and elsewhere.Already frustrated at the deplorable conditions, inhabitants’ anger was compounded by coronavirus lockdown restrictions. The situation reached a breaking point this month when fires were set, probably by a small group of irate asylum seekers, according to the authorities. The flames decimated the camp and stranded nearly 12,000 of its residents in the wild among tombstones in a nearby cemetery and on rural and coastal roads.We chart the European refugee crisis and the events that led up to the blaze at Moria.Guest: Matina Stevis-Gridneff, who covers the European Union for The New York Times.For more information on today’s episode, visit nytimes.com/thedaily Background reading: The fires at the Moria camp have intensified what was already a humanitarian disaster. Originally built to hold 3,000 newly arrived people, it held more than 20,000 refugees six months agoThe camp’s inhabitants had for years resented the squalid conditions and the endless delays in resolving their fates. Those frustrations collided with the restrictions imposed to combat the coronavirus, and the combination has proved explosive.

Over the past two years, I have highlighted how tight the credit (mortgage) market has become a couple of times. In the past, borrowing was simple. The bank would always offer you more than you wanted to borrow. You only had to provide a few documents and the money was yours!Things have changed dramatically. These days, banks spend most of their time trying to look for reasons to decline a loan rather than approve it. It’s as if they don’t want the business! The onus is on the borrower to prove why they should approve the loan – you are guilty until proven innocent.The other problem is that many bank employees are just too scared to use their discretion. As a result of closer scrutiny from the regulators and the Royal Commission, the banks significantly tightened credit policy. They also tightened their oversight of credit managers to the extent that they are now reluctant to move outside credit policy for fear being disciplined (e.g. loss of bonus or even job)! This creates perverse behaviour such as being highly pedantic, nonsensical and over-analysing due to fear of missing something.In this new environment, borrowers are beggars, not choosers.With this in mind I have listed 11 tactics you can employ to make you ‘loan ready’.1. Start preparing 3 to 6 months outMy first tip is to start preparing for a loan application a minimum of 3 to 6 months in advance. Consider all the tactics I have listed below. If you need to take corrective action, you will have enough time to make any changes. Leaving things to the last minute might reduce the pool of lenders available to you.2. Reduce discretionary spending three months outThe banks will not distinguish between discretionary and non-discretionary expenditure. They will trawl over your bank statements (3 months) to independently verify how much you spend each month and base the loan assessment on that number. Banks have asked questions about once-off transfers to family members, swimming lesson expenses, small charges by Uber Eats, ATM withdrawals at casinos, a Buck’s Night expense (!?) and so on. You would be flabbergasted by the detail they go into. They must spend hours looking at these things – inventing questions to ask! It is very pedantic and intrusive but unavoidable.Therefore, to make it easier on yourself, minimise expenditure three months prior to lodging an application. Reduce as many discretionary expenses as possible. There are two benefits of doing this. Firstly, you will make the loan approval process a lot easier for yourself. Secondly, you might find it enlightening – allowing you to reset your spending habits.If you have a high income, it might not be necessary to do this – consult with your mortgage broker (us) to ascertain how important this tactic is in your situation.3. Control information flowHaving all your accounts with one bank probably makes things simpler and cleaner. However, it also means that bank knows everything about you. When lodging a mortgage application, banks will typically want to review your last 3 months of bank transaction statements (see item # 2 above). However, if you are an existing customer, it means the bank is able to see whatever history it wants. Keep this in mind.If you want to control the information flow, then it’s wise to use a separate bank for your day-to-day transactions from the bank that holds your mortgages (or you plan to borrow from). Also refer to tip # 5 below.4. Consider shifting loans onto different securitiesLenders borrowing capacities can vary a lot. One way to extend your borrowing capacity in this very tight credit market (assuming you have enough equity) is to move your loans onto one or two securities (properties). This may the free up a property that you can take to a new lender that has a much higher borrowing capacity.Some lenders treat external debt (i.e. mortgages with other banks) differently to internal debt and this allows you to borrow more. Therefore, you can leave all your current borrowings with a lender that has a lower borrowing capacity and use a new lender with a higher borrowing capacity for your new loans.The same applies if you dispose of a property. Instead of repaying and discharging the loan, move it onto a different security (property) and reduce the balance to say $100 – so that you can redraw the loan in the future if you want to.5. Be careful with trust distributionsA discretionary family trust can be a good vehicle to assist with tax planning (minimisation) because it allows you to distribute income and capital gains to various beneficiaries at your discretion. This is particularly useful for self-employed persons. Such beneficiaries could include non-working parents and adult children. This helps spread the tax liability across multiple taxpayers. However, as a result of the tight credit environment, lenders are now disregarding some of this income – let me explain using an example.Rick and Karen are self-employed and have a family trust that has $200,000 of income. They have two adult children at university that do not earn any taxable income. Therefore, Rick and Karen decide (as trustees) to distribute $50,000 of income to each family member. However, when Rick and Karen approach a bank for a loan, some banks will only include Rick and Karen’s distribution (not the adult children as they are not loan applicants). This is the case even though distributions are completely discretionary. Again, this approach is completely nonsensical. Not all lenders will take this approach but many of the smaller lenders do. Therefore, you must be careful when dealing with distributions and/or selecting a lender.6. Having a transaction account and/or credit card with other institutionsI have written about credit scoring and the introduction of positive credit data here and here in the past. Whether you are regarded as an “existing customer” or not has a big impact on your credit score (existing customers attract a lower credit score). You can be considered an existing customer if you have a bank account or credit card with a bank (both is better). Therefore, for borrowing capacity purposes, it is wise to have a ‘relationship’ with multiple institutions. This widens your options – as you can eventually borrow from more institutions that consider you to be an existing customer.7. Consider changes in jobs or circumstancesChanging your employer may have an impact on your borrowing capacity. However, if your role and industry hasn’t changed (just your employer), then it’s less likely to be a concern. In any case, the bank will need a least one pay slip before it will unconditionally approve a loan. This has caused some stress for some clients recently in various situations i.e. they moved interstate or returned from maternity leave. We provided employment contracts, verbal employer checks, etc. – but the bank still wanted to see the pay slip (hence my comment about not moving outside of standard policy)! In the past, banks would typically give us a loan approval subject to us providing a pay slip before the loan is drawn – but not these days. So, if you are planning on changing your job, make sure it won’t negatively impact your borrowing capacity.8. Make sure you have perfect conductIt is important that you have perfect banking conduct. That is, all loan and credit cards are made on a timely basis. No late payments, accidental overdrawn accounts or any “administrative” issues.We had a situation recently where the bank would approve a loan for our client but not the bridging finance component simply because a banking administrative issue – where a loan was attempting to take a repayment from an account that was closed, and the client made manual transfers instead. Unfortunately, sometimes those transfers were a day late! The problem was that a higher level of ‘credit’ had to approve the bridging finance component and their credit policy stated that the customer must have perfect loan conduct. The credit manager wasn’t willing to apply any common-sense in this situation and make an exception to policy. Approving the bridging finance wouldn’t have created any additional risk to the bank as the client has already unconditionally sold his previous home.The lesson here is that seemingly inconsequential and administrative matters might come back to bite you. Therefore, pay extra attention to ensure all loans and credit cards are perfectly up to date.9. Property valuations are coming in lowThe number of properties being sold at the moment is 25% to 30% lower than it was 12 to 18 months ago. However, in Melbourne for example, $235 million of property transacted last weekend. At the peak of a boom market, over $1 billion of property could change hands in one weekend in Melbourne. This shows you how little property is selling at the moment – particularly higher value property.This negatively impacts on bank valuations because:1. there are far fewer comparable transactions for a valuer to rely on forcing them to be more conservative with their estimates; and2. the people that have decided to sell property in this market have typically been motivated sellers i.e. they needed to sell for a particular reason. Given the choice, most people would elect to not sell in this market and instead wait for it to pick up. A motivated seller in a soft market is often forced to drop their price in order to secure a sale. This affects comparable sales data and hence valuations.As such, it is commonplace for bank valuations to come in below client expectations. This must be considered when planning/estimating your borrowing capacity.10. Make sure tax is up-to-date and low credit card balancesThis is an obvious tip, but it is important that your taxation affairs are up to date (i.e. all tax is lodged and paid for). It is also best for any consumer debt, particular credits cards, to be as low as possible.11. Be realistic: It takes a lot longer than it did a few years agoThe final tip is to have realistic expectations. A few years ago, there have been times when we could have a loan move from application to unconditionally approval within 24 hours. Today, it takes two to three weeks, on average – sometime longer. We need to provide more documents, answer more questions and do a lot more work. There is no such thing as an easy loan application anymore. So, make sure you are prepared for it to take a lot longer and to be asked more questions.You need an experienced brokerI hope this blog hasn’t scared you too much.

Perhaps the greatest challenge of being a remote host is building a relationship with your guests when you can’t be there face to face. Airbnb was founded on the principal of personal connection, but when your listing is in the rural village of Dudeldorf, Germany, and you are a thousand miles away in Spain, how do you go about making the guests feel at home? Or providing personal recommendations for seasonal things to do?Niels Becker has designed a truly genius approach to remote hosting through a listing Facebook page. The page functions as a sort of interactive, continually updated guidebook, providing guests with timely information around events in the area, like the popular Christmas market. In addition, the Facebook page promotes Niels’ listing as his satisfied guests like and share the page with their contacts.Beyond his experience in the short-term rental market, Niels also manages several long-term rentals in Dudeldorf. Today on the podcast, he compares the revenue earned via Airbnb guests versus tenants. Niels explains how he secured public funds to restore his properties, why he chose to try Airbnb in one of those investment units, and how he finds information for his Facebook page. Listen in and learn his unique approach to remote hosting and why investing in rural communities is your safest bet.Topics CoveredNiels’ decision to try Airbnb•Rents several units long-term (near US airbase)•Had trouble renting small studio•Listed studio on Airbnb six months agoThe particulars of Niels’ investment property•Beautiful area near border with Luxembourg•Area losing residents to large cities•Working to preserve heritage•Provides funding to restore historic buildings (to modern standards)Niels’ Facebook page•Solves problem of being remote host•Shares interesting things going on in area, nearby villages to visit•Entries mined from local Facebook groups•Provides most current, updated infoHow the Facebook page promotes Niels’ listing•Guests ‘like’ the Facebook page•Guests contribute their own photos, reviews•Guests’ contacts exposed to listing•Book Now button links to AirbnbLong-term rental vs. Airbnb•Niels currently making 2X for studio•Going into low season, but bookings still coming•Comparable to long-term units (location, furnishings, architecture)How Niels manages his units from home in Spain•Relies on local cleaning, management services•Rest is automated (e.g.: lock box for entry)•Sends handwritten note as photo through Airbnb to welcome•Always available to guests through Airbnb messagingThe Airbnb-friendly regulations in rural Germany•Short-term rentals, tourism encouraged•Many empty units (opposite problem of cities)•Earns less revenue than cities, but property more affordable•Niels receiving very good ROIConnect with NielsLiving in History—Dudeldorf/EifelNiels’ Airbnb ListingConnect with JasperEmail: jasper@getpaidforyourpad.comTwitter: @GetPaidForUrPadInstagram: @GetPaidForYourPad Facebook: www.facebook.com/getpaidforyourpadThis episode is sponsored by Hostfully.com where you can create a custom digital guidebook for your guests!
