The world presents us with infinite distractions to always keep us off-center, diverting our attention from our spiritual goals, seemingly never able to reach an oasis of peace and tranquility. And within as well, there are many obstacles intended to prevent the soul from making much spiritual progress during this life. This according to the Gnostics and the Masters is the great cosmic conspiracy of the ages to keep souls down, circling round and round on the wheel of transmigration with no apparent means of escape, no end in sight. And changing belief-systems, rituals and theologies, doctrines, or what icons are hanging on the wall won't help either, as these are all confined to the world of mortal minds and matter, just amounting to "rearranging the chairs on the deck of the Titanic", as they say. According to the Masters, the way of escape, liberation and redemption for the soul is not visiting yet more physical temples made of wood and stone, or swapping old religious doctrines for new ones, which still are confined to the same lower planes of creation, but rather to "rise above body-consciousness", to learn the almost lost mystic art of "death before dying", discovering how to transcend body and mind during contemplative meditation practice and connect with that missing element of our existence: what it's like to be a soul or spiritual being! By following the meditation guidance of the Masters we will reach the seat of the soul, the third eye center hidden within us, access the Inner Light and Sound, enter the spiritual realms here and now, and begin our journey back to God.    Friend? hope for the Guest while you are alive. Jump into experience while you are alive! Think... and think... while you are alive. What you call "salvation" belongs to the time             before death.   If you don't break your ropes while you're alive, do you think ghosts will do it after?   The idea that the soul will join with the ecstatic just because the body is rotten -- that is all fantasy. What is found now is found then. If you find nothing now, you will simply end up with an apartment in the           City of Death. If you make love with the Divine now, in the next life you will have the face of satisfied desire.   So plunge into the truth, find out who the Teacher is, Believe in the Great Sound!   Kabir says this: When the Guest is being searched for, it is the intensity of the longing for the Guest that does all the work.   Look at me, and you will see a slave of that intensity.   -- Says Kabir, one of the founding Satgurus of Sant Mat   Today during our satsang podcast: readings from Sant Kirpal Singh (Prayer: Its Nature and Technique); the Gospel of Philip (Nag Hammadi Library); Swami Sant Sevi Ji Maharaj on finding the Light in the darkness; a letter from Hazur Baba Sawan Singh; Spiritual Consciousness (published by Dayalbagh University, Agra); a mystic Sufi poem on dying while living by Hazrat Sultan Bahu; a Sant Mat glossary definition of the word "Simran" -- the sacred repetition of names of God; and a Satsang Discourse by Baba Ram Singh titled, "Surat Shabd Yoga [Inner Light and Sound Meditation] Is The Only Study That Teaches Us How To Die While We Are Living."   In Divine Love (Bhakti), Light, and Sound, At the Feet of the Masters, Radhaswami, James Bean Spiritual Awakening Radio Podcasts Sant Mat Satsang Podcasts Sant Mat Radhasoami https://www.SpiritualAwakeningRadio.com    

Baba Jaimal Singh, and other disciples of Soamiji Maharaj, were initiated in Soamiji's meditation room at his home in Panni Gali, Agra.    "Swami Ji then began to instruct him [Baba Jaimal Singh] into the theory and practice of Surat Shabd Yoga, and when the instructions were over, asking the youth of seventeen to sit down for meditation, he left the room.   "As soon as Jaimal Singh sat down for meditation, he got lost in samadhi. The night came and passed away, the day broke, but he continued motionless, lost in the inner bliss he had discovered. Another day saw itself swallowed by the night, and the night saw itself replaced by another day, and yet the youth sat lost to the world around him.   "When some forty-eight hours had thus gone by, Swami Ji asked some of the disciples if they knew where the visitor from the Punjab had disappeared. 'We saw him two days ago at the Satsang,' they said, 'but we have not seen him since.'   "Swami Ji smiled and proceeded straight to the little room where he had left his latest disciple and which none had entered for two days. He placed his hand on Jaimal Singh's head, and when the latter's soul returned to the normal physical consciousness and he opened his eyes, he saw his Guru beaming at him. 'Do you, my boy, still doubt if your Master be a true Sikh or not?' He asked with a twinkle in his eye."

EXPERTS FRÉDÉRIC DENHEZ Journaliste - Spécialiste des questions environnementales NICOLE OUVRARD Ingénieure agronome - Directrice déléguée de l'agence Agra, agence de presse spécialisée en agriculture MARION GUILLOU Ancienne présidente de l'INRAE Institut national de recherche pour l'agriculture, l'alimentation et l'environnement PHILIPPE DESSERTINE Directeur de la chaire Finagri à la Sorbonne C'est un exercice traditionnel, presque obligatoire pour tous les présidents de la République : le passage annuel au Salon de l'agriculture de Paris. Emmanuel Macron y a fait le déplacement toute une journée pour son ouverture aujourd'hui. Au contact des professionnels de l'élevage, de la pêche et de l'industrie agro-alimentaire, le chef de l'État profite de l'événement pour reprendre la main dans cette période marquée par le débat sur la réforme des retraites. Une tentative déjà amorcée mardi dernier, lors d'un déplacement à Rungis, où le locataire de l'Élysée a demandé aux Français de faire preuve de « bon sens » pour « travailler un peu plus longtemps ». Au parc des expositions de la Porte de Versailles ce matin, les déclarations ont donc ponctué la déambulation. Emmanuel Macron a tenté de rassurer les agriculteurs en interpellant les distributeurs, à qui il a demandé de « faire un effort sur les marges » dans ce contexte inflationniste. Sur les pesticides, le chef de l'État propose un « cadre pour une nouvelle approche », tandis qu'il annonce un « plan de sobriété » pour l'eau afin d'éviter tout gaspillage. Car la sécheresse refait bel et bien la une de l'actualité. Avec un record de trente-deux jours sans véritable pluie, la France métropolitaine est déjà en alerte en plein mois de février. L'inquiétude grandit dans le secteur agricole, surtout que l'épisode survient en hiver, période de recharge cruciale des nappes phréatiques. Après des canicules exceptionnelles en 2022, illustrant les conséquences du réchauffement climatique, l'année 2023 pourrait être pire encore pour les agriculteurs, déjà à bout de souffle avec la crise énergétique. La filière biologique est de ce fait en mauvaise passe. Avec la hausse des prix, les Français se détournent de ces produits qui alourdissent les factures. Une crise voit le jour dans ce secteur, si bien que certains agriculteurs font le choix radical de se dé-convertir. Alors, les annonces d'Emmanuel Macron suffiront-elles à aider le monde agricole ? Que peut faire l'État face à cette sécheresse record ? Allons-nous vers un retour en arrière sur la question du bio ?

Wood burns twice. The first burn takes wood to charcoal. The second phase takes charcoal to ash. Unless you remove oxygen. Josiah Hunt, Founder and CEO of Pacific Biochar Befit Corporation explains that Biochar is made at a high temperature in an oxygen-limited environment. Organic waste is taken through the first burn phase and by limiting the oxygen, remains charcoal. The final product is buried in the soil where it improves water retention and fertility. And you can do this at your own ranch. Listen in to hear Josiah's tips on how to make and incorporate Biochar into your vineyard.

And we're going to talk about guess what biochar. Josiah thanks for being on the podcast.   Josiah Hunt  0:09  Thank you.   Craig Macmillan  0:11  Let's just get right into it. And let's start with some basics. What exactly is biochar?   Josiah Hunt  0:15  Biochar is a funny word. First. biochar in its most basic terms is biomass charcoal, which is redundant because charcoal is from biomass and the generation like where the word came from is even funnier in my opinion, the word biochar was born out of the word Agra-char. But in the world first Agra-char conference in 2007, a company came forward and said, Sorry, we've already trademarked that back to the drawing board. And they came up with biochar. That's that's the origin story that I've heard. I think one of the really interesting questions is, why did we have to come up with a new word for charcoal, and the reason for that is climate change. So I think the key differentiator from where the word biochar came from is part of an idea, rather than a simple material. And that idea is wrapped up in waste organic material used to create biochar, a biomass charcoal, which is then buried in agricultural soils, where it serves two important purposes, carbon dioxide removal by sequestering that stable carbon into the ground and long term soil fertility. So this helping address climate change mitigation by removing carbon and climate change adaptation by facilitating food security. So it's a lot packed into that concept. So the word charcoal just couldn't hold it anymore.   Craig Macmillan  1:39  Just couldn't hold it off. We're talking about charcoal, which people have been making for millennia, essentially. So how is biochar made and are there multiple ways of this different materials, etc.?   Josiah Hunt  1:51  High temperature in an oxygen limited environment. So you're you're basically reaching these combustion temperatures, but you do so with an oxygen limited environment. So a woodchip brought up to 500 degrees Celsius would become a glowing ember. Its molecules so excited, they're shooting off photons. Now, if that woodchip came up to five degrees Celsius, and there's sufficient oxygen, you would have complete combustion first, that woodchip would volatilize off the gases become a chunk of charcoal, and then the oxygen would come in and destroy that charcoal, releasing all of its energy, and leaving only the ash mineral residue. If you have limited oxygen, that first part occurs pyrolysis part where you go from woodchip to charcoal, but that second phase of burning from charcoal to ash can only occur with the presence of oxygen, and thus, the limiting of oxygen is the key component to making the material.   Craig Macmillan  2:48  And then second phase is where the carbon is leaving into the environment?   Josiah Hunt  2:52  A better way to put this is that wood burns twice the first phase of combustion and the first phase of burning would be from woodchip to charcoal. And the second phase is from charcoal to ash. And that second phase can only occur in the presence of oxygen. Therefore, if you can limit the oxygen, you control, whether you're generating charcoal or ash.   Craig Macmillan  3:16  So controlling the oxygen is important. If you have a way of stopping that process midway. That's obviously the key to this, you have to be able to stop at the end of the process step not going any further. Is that right?   Josiah Hunt  3:29  That's correct.   Craig Macmillan  3:29  How do people do that?   Josiah Hunt  3:32  There's two kind of main ways one would be we're working with continuous flow machinery. So the woodchips come enter a system in which they experience incredibly high temperatures and limited oxygen environment where pyrolysis occurs, the gases leaving gases go off and they have their own work to do. And then that carbon flows out of that hot chamber into areas where we maintain that oxygen control. And we allow the temperature to begin to drop down to temperatures that are ambient, essentially. And once you get that charcoal material to ambient temperature, it is safe, it's recalcitrant, and will will last for a very, very long time. So that's how we do it in a continuous flow. And then generally at the tail end of the process, we're adding water for dust control and safety. And if you had a batch process, you would initiate a paralysis to occur you initiate process to create basically start big fire, it would be one way to do that, and then allow it to go through that first phase where you'd have you know pyrolysis carrying wood becoming charcoal and then extinguish it, you got to stop it, you got to either completely cut off the airflow and snuff it out or introduce so much water that you would quench it that's also snuffing it out so that would be kind of a batch process approach to stopping it.   Craig Macmillan  4:46  So that's the the key stopping and along the way there and having some way of doing that. And that's what makes this whole thing essentially work. Now I've got this stuff. What is this charcoal, it used to be wood now what is it chemically? How was it changed, what do I have here in my hands?   Josiah Hunt  5:02  Biochar differs from the plant biomass that it was made from in that it has undergone a thermal thermal chemical conversion, an irreversible process where the associations of the carbon and other elements in there become completely reassociated, you have a wood chip that goes into a temperature range of 500 degrees Celsius plus and becomes a glowing ember shooting off photons. And those carbon atoms realign themselves into a different form that is highly aromatic versus aliphatic, meaning you're basically tightening these carbon rings here. And that helps the material become highly recalcitrant, meaning that it will have a persistence. In the environment, an order of magnitude are orders of magnitude greater than the plant biomass that was made from lasting hundreds to 1000s of years in the soil, and also with some very interesting changes to the surface characteristics.   Craig Macmillan  6:09  So that leads into the next question there. So we're talking about something that will remain in the soil for a very, very long time, which is one of the reasons it's of interest to agriculture. What are some of the applications why are people using this in agriculture? And how are they using this in agriculture?   Josiah Hunt  6:25  The charcoal material has some really interesting attributes some some really interesting characteristics. Other than just being highly recalcitrant, charcoal is the oldest known filter material, maybe most widely used over a long period of historical time, it works great, it can hold nutrients, it can hold plant nutrients, in this case, against a gradient, and it can hold plant nutrients in such a way that they will be resistant to environmental loss yet still plant available or biologically available, I should say, because sometimes it's the microbes or fungi who would access the material off the charcoal surface and make it available to the plant. And so that filtration characteristic is an incredibly important part of, of how biochar helps plants grow is it can help keep nutrients in the topsoil and resistant to environmental loss in a way that plants can still access them.   Craig Macmillan  7:24  And the same is true for water, correct?   Josiah Hunt  7:26  Yes, biochar material is incredibly porous. So a lot of the vascular tissue of the plant body remains intact. So it's really interesting, because you have this, you have this like, just completely dramatic molecular change, where the woody cellulosic material becomes a target material. And on a molecular level, it's so incredibly different. But on a structural level, most of the plant body remains. And so you can take a small piece of charcoal, and oftentimes a botanist, would be able to identify the plant species, it was made from   Craig Macmillan  8:02  Really?   Josiah Hunt  8:02  Yeah, the vascular. And in fact, this is an important piece of archaeology. So this is like in archaeology, they'll, they'll find little bits of charcoal, because it's highly recalcitrant. And they'll be able to identify what species of plant it was, because of the vascular tissue. And it can be pretty evident sometimes, I mean, it's really easy to tell the difference between oak and pine, you've got to be a connoisseur to be able to tell whether it's a Valley oak or red oak, yes, the vascular tissue of the plant body remains primarily, you know, largely intact. And so this is really interesting, you have a material that, you know, on a very, very micro level is very porous, but then even on a macro level, you have this vascular tissue of the plant body. So a lot of the a lot of the capillary action that the plants were taking advantage of transfers over to this biochar material, which is really interesting because now you have this highly recalcitrant material with incredibly high surface area, a functional surface of that and, you know, just incredibly intricate porous design determined by the DNA, that plant material, you know, it's just riddled with tubes and tunnels and nooks and crannies that help hold water and provide habitat for microorganisms.   Craig Macmillan  9:16  Is there research that's been done other findings about what quantity or type or whatever of biochar and how that relates to increases in water holding capacity or increases in soil microbiome populations or things like that? It seems like that'd be a pretty straightforward idea.   Josiah Hunt  9:33  I think I was looking at a graph this morning and I don't remember where it came from, but I think since 2007, there's been 28,000 research articles about that, that are related to biochar not specifically focused on biochar, but have biochar as a key word or an aspect. So biochar is is a you know, part of about 28,000 research articles. And a lot of that is focused on water because it's such an important part of the puzzle the dynamics between application rate and expected response get really nuanced. It comes down to what are the characteristics of the biochar material? And in many cases, what is really important, what are the characteristics of the soil, so you can expect to see a quite quite a range of different response, depending on the characteristics of the biochar material and the native soil that it's being applied to, you know, without any research articles, we're now at the stage where we're they're doing systematic reviews of the meta analyses, which begins to give you a lot of really powerful data. Overall, the water use efficiency, or there's so many different ways to measure it. And again, I'm a little bit undergunned the difference between plant available water and, and water holding capacity, you know, become existentially important to tell us that I probably don't have the same level of experience with.   Craig Macmillan  11:01  You may not need to be the expert, but you probably are the expert on where to find this information that helps. So if you can, if you can connect us with some things, even just general stuff, we'll pass that along to our listeners. And it'd be greatly appreciated. Because again, this is an ID the reason I bring this up is that, you know, we were talking earlier about, you know, 2007 and whatnot. I remember the first time this was introduced to me, and it was probably around the year 2000. And it's from a college student. There was one of my students, and I was and they were like, Hey, that's a great idea. We should really try it. And I said, I don't know I don't get it. They're like that. And I said, Well, how much material do we need? And I'm thinking like tons per acre. They're like, Oh, no, no, we just use a little bit. We do this and I was like, Okay, that sounds like witchcraft to me. Show me the science. Well, now here we are 20 years later. And we do have a lot of science. This is not a story anymore.   Josiah Hunt  11:50  There's a lot of science and, you know, the water conservation part. I think that's just such a key component of of the value that biochar can provide, particularly when we're talking about vineyards in California. And so I think it's it's useful to spend some time on that. So a couple key points of, of biochar and, and water use efficiency or water conservation. One is just that the material itself holds immense amounts of water. I mean biochar alone, the biochar that we're working with, we usually hold about six, six times its weight in water. But then the real important thing is how does it affect the water holding capacity or plant available water in the soil, and in most all aspects, the results are positive pretty much across the board. And here's a few key metrics, I think that would be useful to mention and that I find valuable. A couple of key points of biochar and water use efficiency or water conservation. One is that one of the easiest ways to think about biochar is that it is pyrogenic organic matter. Perhaps that's a better word than biochar. It's a much more scientifically accurate word. And when we think about this material, it's not unique. Humans didn't invent charcoal, or biochar for that matter. In fact, it's been part of soil development, as long as plant life and fire have coexisted. And according to geologic records, about 350 or more years ago, biochar became a significant component of topsoil development. And that generally, soil organic matter is measured by loss on Ignition, which does not differentiate between charcoal organic matter pyrogenic organic matter and non charcoal organic and studies that have used some very expensive and kind of painstaking processes to identify the charcoal organic matter as separate from the non toxic organic matter have shown us that charcoal organic matter is prevalent in most all agriculturally important soils, and oftentimes greater than 10% of the total organic matter, and not uncommon to find it as much as 30 to 50% of the total organic matter. And in some of our most valuable soils such as the Midwest plains like in Iowa, some of those those those highly fertile molecules up there can be 30 to 50% of organic matter in the form of charcoal. So I probably went too long into that definition or that that that distinction. But one of the easy ways to to think about biochar is that biochar is part of organic matter is not separate from and so when we're thinking about how does biochar impact my soil? Usually, we can kind of just consider what are the impacts of organic matter and what are the impacts of increasing my organic matter, and then think of biochar as a stable portion of your organic matter. That will have a lot of water conservation and tilth benefits, but it will not be a significant source of nutrients. And that's one of the significant differences of charcoal organic matter versus non charcoal organic matter, but in so many other situations, that's an easy way to think about the effects of biochar. So With biochar, and water conservation, one of the really important elements would be the soil type in determining what the projected outcomes might be. And there's been some really interesting findings in this area. At first, the primary focus was in sandy soils, which have a very low water holding capacity. And it's an easy win small amounts of biochar can have large impact on coarse soils, large positive impact, improving the water holding capacity in coarse soils   Craig Macmillan  15:30  What's a small quantity, a small quantity?   Josiah Hunt  15:33  That's a great question. You opened up a big box there. Biochar is a three dimensional application not a two dimensional so like if you add nitrogen, your soil, it's going to disperse throughout your soil. So nitrogen is simply you know, pounds per acre, whereas biochar, it's not going to distribute itself through the soil on its own, it's wise to also consider the area cultivated. So for instance, two tons per acre cultivated only in the planting row is very different than two tons per acre, cultivated 100% of the acreage or two tons per acre and the top six inches versus two tons per acre, two feet down.   Craig Macmillan  16:11  Is the real metric, then like volume to volume may think in cubic yards to cubic yards,.I just use percent organic matter equivalent, what I've found the most useful and looking at Biochar application rates, and again, kind of going back to how I find it really valuable to just kind of consider biochar applications within the frame of I'm going to change my soil organic matter, I'm going to be adding some stable soil organic matter. How much do I want to add and why? And framing biochar applications in that I find very useful. And then also, when I'm looking at when we've seen successful applications, either through work that we've done, or in research articles, how do we translate that into another successful application that might have different cultivation practices. And what we found is the percent organic matter equivalent is the most transferable number. And so what that would mean is that the biochar is primarily organic matter, but some of it can have a lot of ash content. So that would reduce the organic matter content of the biochar. You know, most of biochar that we're working with 95% organic matter. So then you're looking at the effect of that biochar in the area cultivated, right, so let's say if we have 10 tons wet weight of biochar might be six ton dry weight of biochar, which might be you know, 5.5 or 7%, dry tons organic matter. And then if we're cultivating that in to an area of our soil, we measure the general area that we're cultivating into, and we can come up with an organic matter equivalent. So just as a rule of thumb, a number that I find useful is that if you were to cultivate nine tonnes per acre down to six inches, it would be equivalent to 1% organic matter.   Okay, yeah. So that gives us an idea that gives us that gives us a sense.   Josiah Hunt  17:55  If you're doing a quarter of your land, like say you're doing two, two foot wide planting rows, and they're eight foot on center. Now you're a quarter of your acreage and you're going down 24 inches, that's 1%. Nine dried tons per acre plowed to six inches depth would be equivalent to 1% organic matter.   Craig Macmillan  18:13  Now let's let's bring this back to the vineyards because I know that there have been some folks that have been doing trials and whatnot with this that I think you're familiar with, how would somebody apply this method? In a vineyard setting? We would want to get it close to the vine row. Can we do it in the middles? What what's kind of the strategy? Do you know?   Josiah Hunt  18:31  with vineyard applications, we've learned a lot over the past several years, and I want to, you know, provide a big shout out to Doug Beck with Monterey Pacific who has been instrumental in helping pilot you know, and pioneer, some some really successful applications of biochar and vineyards. In some of the early trials that we did. We found that with a pre plant, you know, with fresh plants going in the best utilization of biochar is in the planting row only Delve are plowed you know, right down the planting row only don't waste any the biochar on the surface broadcast. Keep it in the planting row only and take it to depth. That's one thing we learned. And so using biochar in pre plant has really shone as you're shown shown, shawn as past of shown I guess, is as a really successful way to utilize biochar, it helps get the plants up. And we've been seeing significant yield benefits, where the biochar has been plowed down the planting row. And the application rate in that we found to be quite successful is in the range of about a half percent organic matter equivalent in those field trials. Now, that doesn't mean that's the only successful application. That's just one that we identified early on as being quite successful.   Craig Macmillan  19:45  Are you familiar with or do you think there are ways to do things post planning?   Josiah Hunt  19:50  For post planting there's been a number of different approaches, and I can't say if I've seen any single approach rise to the top as being In the winner, and I think this might be due to how many different management practices there are after the vine's planted, which I think have a wider spectrum of variety than than the planting process itself. And so something that Monterey Pacific has been working on is applying it to existing. And I guess I'm not sure how much of this they've published and how much needs to keep quiet. So I better hold my tongue I'm getting describing exactly what they're doing.   Craig Macmillan  20:30  So here's an example. So one of the things that I've heard from other people but I haven't seen anything on is that they make biochar which when asked you about they make biochar and then they, they grind it essentially, or they break it up and then they mix it with compost, and then they they band that on in the vine or like they would have compost. Anyway, all they've done those, they've added some biochar to it, but it sounds like the incorporation is really crucial.   Josiah Hunt  20:53  Yes, you nailed it. That's it. That's how they're doing it. So basically, what what a lot of the folks are doing with compost applications in existing, they're simply just incorporating biochar as part of that. So rather than looking at doing compost, only, they're doing a biochar amended compost and applying the same method, and this works out really well.   Craig Macmillan  21:15  It does work out well. Okay, so I was gonna say it sounds like there may be some limitations there. But there are some benefits.   Josiah Hunt  21:20  Yeah, no, this works out really well, the biochar you blend it up with the compost, it flows through the equipment, no problem. And there's a lot of synergy to biochar and compost working take they work really well together. That that basically captures it however, using compost, you can consider including biochar as a portion of that. And then what portion becomes a really interesting question. A lot of people have been kind of in the range of between 10% to 30%. By weight when they're doing maintenance. That's the range that I most commonly see.   Craig Macmillan  21:52  So let's say I'm interested in this either as a pre plant or maybe as abandoned, I need to go with compost, can I make my own? And if so, what materials do I need? And what can I do? How hard is it to make biochar myself from a vineyard or winery? What do I what do I need to do this?   Josiah Hunt  22:06  Making biochar yourself by hand in the vineyard is it's hard work. But it's totally it's it's not rocket science, it can be done with some fairly rudimentary approaches. Commonly, what's done now is when a when a vineyard is gonna get ripped out, they'll go and they'll push all the piles up metal vines, the whole thing that push all the piles up right after harvest, and then they're gonna be aiming to replant by March, you know, replant several months later. Now, this is really tricky here, this is the biggest problem, because yes, you can make biochar to that material. But with that much moisture content in the biomass, it's gonna be really hard to do that. To do it in a rudimentary fashion, one of the easy ways to do this would just be push up those big piles, let them dry, which kind of requires that you fallow for a year, and then you come back the following year. And you can do what's called a conservation burn, essentially, it's the same thing. But instead of lighting the pile from the bottom on the inside, you just do a top lit pile. So you light it from the top, and then the flame starts at the top and the heat causes the wood underneath it to volatilize releasing its gases and the flame consumes all the gas is as it as it comes down. And it also kind of then works as a protector of the charcoal that's created. This conservation burn approach is cleaner burning. And if you quench it at the right time, you can get a significant amount of charcoal, but it does require that your vines have to be dry, which is in most cases that we've seen. It's going to take a year of fallow to get there.   Craig Macmillan  23:40  So I could do it with vine material.   Josiah Hunt  23:42  You can do it vine material, you can do it in the field without any fancy equipment other than just doing a top down burn, which just takes a little bit of a slightly different approach to it. And there's been some some farms that have really been doing a good job with this Kendall Jackson hosted a little workshop or something on this down in in the King City area a couple years ago, a lot of different vineyards that whose names are escaping me right now have been tinkering around with this method of biochar production, it's fairly easy, but it does require a fallow period and let that material dry. The other would be to potentially grind up that material and take it to another location where you could have a centralized biochar production facility. But the difficulty particularly in vineyards is is the metal content you just got you got a lot of of wires and steaks in there. And that makes that makes it tough.   Craig Macmillan  24:32  How would he do things need to be? Can I do this with landscaping waste? Can I do it with grasses? How much lignin do I need? How well would he do this step up to be?   Josiah Hunt  24:45  That's a great question. You know, you can make biochar with omega with biosolids, you know, which is not very woody. It'll just have very different characteristics. So woody biomass will have different characteristics than say grass biomass, the grassy based biochar can actually be really interesting materials, particularly because you have those monocots you have those really long, you know, the different type of vascular tissue. And so monocots makes some really interesting biochar, in my opinion. And you know, part of the question gets to what's the best use so if you have grass clippings, generally you have quite a bit of nitrogen content and grass clippings might be more beneficial in a composting pathway to because when you burn something to make biochar, it's hard to keep the nitrogen around a good chunk of that nitrogen is going to leave during the burning process. So sometimes you take your grassy materials and you manures and those can make good materials for anaerobic digestion and or composting, and then the materials that are kind of more woody content, harder to compost, and therefore, often prime candidates for biochar production, but you can use most any of it.   Craig Macmillan  25:48  That is fascinating and encouraging. I think there's a lot to be done here. It sounds like not only are we getting some science, we're getting some experience. And now we're also getting some application. I think that's really, really great. And that's a big part of any aspect of farming is people have to have some science to base it on, but then they have to try it. And it sounds like that trying is happening. And that's really, really exciting. Really, really encouraging. Is there one piece of advice or one thing that you would tell a grower related to biochar one thing say, Hey, that's a great idea. Here's either why or here's what you might want to do.   Josiah Hunt  26:17  No pressure, no pressure, no.   Craig Macmillan  26:21  I like putting you on the spot.   Josiah Hunt  26:24  The one thing Oh, my gosh.   Craig Macmillan  26:25  Career, take your entire career, boil it down to like two sentences.   Josiah Hunt  26:31  Biochar has shown to be an investment in your soil infrastructure, in that adding nitrogen is like fuel. You know, it's like putting fuel in the tank, whereas adding biochar is more akin to an infrastructure investment that is not necessarily putting fuel in the tank, but it's going to improve your fuel efficiency so that you can increase your ratio of output versus input with rising cost of fertilizer questions on the availability of water that becomes increasingly valuable. And I think those are the primary reasons why an investment in biochar would want to be considered.   Craig Macmillan  27:12  And I think that's great advice. And I think that's a really good way to look, we're not talking about a, an input the same way that we might think about something that, you know, goes away, this is an investment in infrastructure. And I think it's a really good way to think about it. Um, where can people find out more about you and what you do?   Josiah Hunt  27:27  The website for the company is Pacificbiochar.com. We've got a lot of information, I think we definitely have some room to improve how how well organized the information is, but there's quite a bit there. We've been working with vineyards for quite a number of years. And throughout the website, there are sprinkled different bits of information and case studies about some of the vendors that we've worked with.   Craig Macmillan  27:48  Yeah, and I want to underline that definitely, there's a lot of great information, including webinars and articles, the meta analysis that you've mentioned, it's a really great resource, and I encourage people to check it out.   Josiah Hunt  28:01  Yeah, we have a whole section on white papers and stuff that we've produced, you know, benefits of biochar and agriculture and, and other white papers that we've produced specifically to try and help provide these resources.   Craig Macmillan  28:11  Well, that's about all the time we've got. I want to thank Josiah Hunt, Founder and CEO of Pacific Biochar Benefit Corporation for being our guest today. Please check out their website, check out our website. They'll be more links and information, all kinds of resources there. As always, thank you for listening to Sustainable Winegrowing with Vineyard Team thanks Josiah.   Josiah Hunt  28:31  You bet Thank you Craig.   Can you hear my dog drinking water from the water bowl?

The Torah in Parashat Toldot tells the story of the blessings which Yishak Abinu wished to bestow upon his older son, Esav, but which were taken by the younger son, Yaakob. Yishak informed Esav of his desire to bless him, and instructed him to go out to the field, hunt an animal, and prepare the meat for him, so that in the merit of this Misva he would be worthy of his blessing. After Esav left, Ribka, who heard Yishak's commands to Esav, plotted to have Yaakob receive the Berachot, instead. As Yishak was blind, Ribka needed only to dress Yaakob in Esav's special garments so he would feel like his brother. The Torah says that Ribka dressed Yaakob in "Bigdeh Esav…Ha'hamudot" – Esav's "precious" garments. The Sages explain that these garments had been passed down since the time of Adam, and had the special power to attract animals. In fact, this is how Noah brought all the animals onto the ark – by attracting them through these garments. Esav received this clothing and would wear it when he went hunting. The animals would be drawn to him, and this is how Esav could easily catch them. Esav used this power for the sake of the Misva of Kibbud Ab – honoring his father, as he would quickly catch animals and prepare meat for Yishak. According to the Midrash, these were the garments in which Ribka dressed Yaakob when he came before Yishak disguised as Esav to receive the blessings. Rav Zalman Sorotzkin (1881-1966), in his Oznayim La'Torah commentary, notes the obvious question that arises from the Midrash's comments. If, indeed, the "Bigdeh Esav Ha'hamudot" were the garments which Esav wore while hunting to prepare meat for his father, so why wasn't Esav wearing them at this time? Yitshak had just commanded him to prepare meat; seemingly, this was precisely the time when Esav would wear his special garments to help him out in the hunt. Why were they at home? Rav Sorotzkin offers several answers, one of which is that Yitshak specifically asked Esav to hunt the animals naturally, without using his special garments, so that he would need to work hard and thereby earn reward. As the Mishna in Abot (5:23) famously teaches, "Le'fum Sa'ara Agra" – the harder one needs to work in fulfilling a Misva, the greater his reward is. Yishak wanted Esav to be worthy of the great blessings which he now wished to grant him, and so he told Esav to go out and hunt an animal without the miraculous power of the special garments, which made hunting quick and easy. When it comes to performing Misvot, we should not be looking for shortcuts, or for the easy way out. The quality of our Misvot depends, to a large extent, on the hard work and effort that we invest in them. And so we must not expect Misva observance to be easy, and we certainly must not despair when challenges and obstacles get in the way. We must remember that it is specifically through the exertion of effort that our Misvot become precious and valuable, and bring us immense rewards.

There is history-based evidence for a Sant Mat family tree dating back many centuries in India, a lineage of spiritual masters existing prior to the time of the Nineteenth Century guru Sant Tulsi Sahib of Hathras:    1) that are ideological soulmates teaching the familiar form of Sant Mat and Surat Shabd Yoga (Inner Light and Sound Meditation);    2) mention all five of the Five Names (sacred names, simran words used in many forms of contemporary Sant Mat);   3) have a special fondness of the term Kal Niranjan (negative power, an eastern term for the Gnostic demiurge);   4) see the Anurag Sagar (Kabir's Ocean of Love) as an essential or central scripture defining the Path during this Kali Yuga age;   5) and that have inherited a version of history that says "Sant Dharam Das was the successor of Kabir" (as opposed to someone else).   Solving the Mystery of Sant Tulsi Sahib's Guru   There was only one contemporary guru who was a living master during the time of Tulsi Sahib that Sant Tulsi Sahib actually named in his hymns and spiritual discourses: Sant Dariya Sahib of Bihar. Sant Dariya and Tulsi's teachings are almost identical, meeting the criteria of the five points listed above. They both even shared a similar physical appearance and manor of dress. So, as Sant Tulsi Sahib was the one contemporary guru named in the Sar Bachan of Soami Ji, and Baba Devi Sahib's name appears in the Padavali of Maharshi Mehi, the one conspicuous contemporary master named and quoted by Sant Tulsi Sahib was Sant Dariya Sahib of Bihar. And Sant Dariya Sahib's guru Sat Saheb was associated with -- branched out from -- the Sant Dharam Das/Kabir line of gurus embodying those five essential ingredients listed above, which I write about with more details in my booklet on the Origins of Sant Mat, The Five Names, and the Identity of Tulsi Sahib's Guru. My take is that most likely Sant Tulsi Sahib was initiated by Sant Dariya Sahib of Bihar or one of his successors, thus the Sant Mat family tree, the lineage of masters in earlier centuries comes more clearly into view, and we can know more about where this spiritual path called Sant Mat comes from, this Way of the Saints or Sants, the Mystics of the East.    As I've written, I perceive that the lineage goes back to Sant Dharam Das. So I would say an approximate description of the lineage of this Path of the Masters looks something close to this: Satguru Kabir to Sant Dharam Das to Churamani Naam (Dharam Das's son) to Sat Saheb to Dariya Sahib of Bihar (and/or to one of the immediate successors named by Dariya like Fakkar Das, Basti Das, Tika Das, or Guna Das) to Sant Tulsi Sahib of Hathras, to Sant Girdhari Sahib of Lucknow to his successors including Soamiji Maharaj in Agra... up to the living present.   And while not as conveniently organized into a single easy-to-find volume of banis and bhajans such as the Sikh scriptures (Adi Granth, Gurbani), there are writings from these earlier masters of the Sant Mat family tree that have survived, and that I wish to especially be mindful of and explore on future satsang editions of this podcast, spiritual classics such as: the Kabir Sagar volumes, The Bijak and other Kabir literature, Anurag Sagar, Dariya Sagar, Ratan Sagar, Padma Sagar, the Ghat Ramayan and several others.   In Divine Love, Light, and Sound, Naam Bhakti, James Bean Sant Mat Satsang Podcasts Spiritual Awakening Radio https://www.SpiritualAwakeningRadio.com

His 12 years of dedication to his clients and his strong work ethic have made him one of the TOP Realtors in California.Three Things You'll Learn in This EpisodeHow do you make sure everyone knows your name?How are top agents thriving during a recession?Why you need to be making content and developing a brand.ResourceLearn More About SuneetReal Estate Marketing DudeThe Listing Advocate (Earn more listings!)REMD on YouTubeREMD on InstagramTranscript:So how do you track new business, you constantly don't have to chase it. Hi, I'm Mike Cuevas to real estate marketing. And this podcast is all about building a strong personal brand people have come to know, like trust and most importantly, refer. But remember, it is not their job to remember what you do for a living. It's your job to remind them. Let's get startedWhat's up ladies and gentlemen, welcome to this episode of the real estate marketing dude, podcast, folks we're gonna get in today it is fourth quarter.A lot of people are going into hiding right now I'm gonna talk to someone who's not. As the market continues to retract, this guy gets louder and louder and louder. And in all honesty, that's what you need to do in this type of market. Look, I understand 90% of you have never seen a shift before in your industry. In this business. We've been spoiled for the last 12 to 14 years. But although some things may be a little slow right now, it's the stuff that you're going to do today that's going to pay off in the first quarter of next year. Because what's going to happen mark my words folks have been saying for the last four fucking months is that a lot of people are gonna go out of business and the ones who are still standing, they're going to wreak it all. And one of the ways that you're going to do that is by out branding everybody. And I saw a stat this morning this afternoon actually watch what a Jeff Pitzer his videos and his numbers are right on he goes, he goes look, Walston, 1% of people are actually like content creators. 9% of people slightly engaged and the 90% of people just fucking sit there and watch on social media. And it's like, which game do you want to play when you own the attention? And when people naturally just like you're everywhere all the time? Nothing but good happens. And that's what we're going to get into today? How do you take an omnipresent approach, specifically on video and be everywhere all the time? And then how do you use that to build your brand and build a business recruiting a client attraction, it's all the same thing. There's a reason why the most popular agents are always the ones who do the most businesses because they have the most eyeballs or attention. And that's the number one name in the game in real estate. Everyone's selling the same shit. So the one they think of first 85% of the time, that's who's gonna win the deal. So without further ado, we're going to introduce the number one or number two team in California.The top team in California this year, Sydney, it's just a neat Agra. Well, let's welcome back, dude. Yes, happy to friggin be here, man. Let's go. And I love the intro. And it's great. Like all that, like, whatever success I have, which may be something maybe that thing?Is my outlook on this comes from learning from you, brother. Appreciate that. Why don't you fucking send us some damn business, bro. Like, let's go. Alright, soI want to tee this up. Because I've known suneet Before he like, right when he got licensed like Sunnite is probably you know, you're on a lot of stages. Right now you're on you're doing getting called on a lot of events, because he's doing a very high volume. How many appointments did your isa team set last month was like 596? No, last month was down by a fucking lot last month was only like 660. And normally we're like, 7030. And these are appointments. So your agents are going on? And then you know, pitching the services and what not. So that's great. But we're gonna backtrack this because with the amount of success and neat has, you would assume that he's been doing this for 15 or 20 years? He hasn't. Okay. So neat. I remember meeting Sunnite for the first time in a club wealth event. I like to say it was in 2016. That's right. I think just about six years ago, and sunny corners me at the bar. Hey, Mike, how do you run these? How do you run these Facebook ads? Right? Tell me how I'm running all these Facebook ads and Sunnite was all bug big I'd big bug I'd like a little kid just brand new and a candidate.Since then, bro, you're just absolutely dominated. I'm really proud of what you've done and what you've built thanks up there in Sacramento. And I want to unpack it all.Because I you're creating a lot of video content. So I didn't let sneak talk yet. So let's go ahead and introduce a neat right here. And we're gonna lay this up because I want to get into specifically what's happened since you started creating a lot of content. And I want to talk about what's happened with brand and stage presence and all this other stuff. So can you tell everyone who's got your arms? They don't know yet. So I've been licensed for eight years, and I met you two years and my first real estate eventever. And it was really like pivotal. It was the night of the election and I met him and then like they're totally bug eyed and likelike I was hungry and I cornered everybody I said let me buy you a fucking drink beer for my Cuevas. You did let me buy you Let me buy you a beer dude. And let's sit down and talk about Dell or some shit. And let's let's sit there and talk through that journey. You know, like it's all the same stuff.that you always hear about. I listen to books, I immerse myself in education. You know, I was a labcoat agents like rat, you know really learned a lot there learned a lot from you, Mike. And you know, like, there was a time guys, I listened to every fucking podcast Mike had done at that point, back to back to back to back and I absorbed it all. And I did that every day. I quit listening to music. I started a team two years in my sixth year as a real as a licensed real estate agent. I was number fucking one in the state of California.Six years in, and now do I sound like I'm proud of that good, because I am. Right. Like, like, that was a big feat. And, you know, I was able to grow my business through relationships, something that Mike says all the time. Now I'm one of the you know, largest, or I have a huge coaching business. Now, I don't know where I rank, but top 10 For my coaching business, and I'm on a stage like, two times a month.Remember me on stage, bro is I get like nervous. And I used to be like, we used to ask me, Hey, do you want to speak like, for what? How am I gonna talk aboutthat. Now he's doing keynotes. But a lot of this is brand, right?Right. And people confuse what brand is like, Hey,folks, if you don't, you have to put yourself out there if you're gonna grow brand, and I don't believe you could grow brand without content or success. It's either one or the other, you either have something you've did, that's very impressive that everyone wants to know how you did it. Or you create a shitload of content. I don't care about your success or not. When you do a little bit of both, it just goes lights out, which is what's the needs doing. But let's start to the very beginning, I want to go through your recruiting quite a bit. You're building your team. You guys gotta remember when you're recruiting, you're also recruiting other buyers and sellers and clients too, because it's all the same thing. It's a giant popularity competition. Most people probably most of your clients probably don't even know you're creating recruiting content. They just see a real estate guy on video. And they're like, oh, shit, they for all? You know, for all they know, you're probably talking about interest rates.Yeah, well, I mean, we do have that content, too. I don't post that often. But yes, yes. I mean, it's just somebody sounding smart talking about something. Yep. And that's what video does, guys, it positions you as the expert whether or not you know what you're doing. Right. And the more of it you have, the more authority you grow. The more authority you have, the more people that listen to what the hell you say. And then the more people listen what you say the more conversations you're having them were compensated and more business leads to. So walk me through your strategy right now. What are you guys doing?What's your video strategy? Cuz I know you're cutting up a lot of short form, I want to go through short form and long form why short form right now?Sostrategy? Yeah, like, why are we? Why are you going so hard? It's short form right now. And what's it? Let's start. So you started off doing long form. And but you've adapted to know we still do long form we, I mean, we were doing remember five long form a week and it just brutal it just murdering everybody. And that's how I came into this. You were telling me to do content. And we did a years and years and content. And you showed me the ropes. Were sure and still helped us out still to this day. And we did do long form? five a week. And that's and you told me yo bro, that's up. And you're right. But I still did I go you're gonna burn yourself out on it. Yeah, well, I never got burned out. I don't know. But, but I want to go back to five days for the platform a week when nobody else does. So then, you know, shortform gets more and more popular. We started out with Instagram stories. We never fuck with Snapchat, tick tock and reels. And I saw a big opportunity with reels. And I mean, it's a bunch of talking heads with captions like it's getting messy. But you know what? Like, I got fucking what 2.5 million views on a video right now. What was the content on that? Talking about using Jasper? Interesting. Some don't You don't know like some people some videos that you would use the least the ones you expect? Go crazy. And the ones you think are gonna do? Well, don't you just don't know. You just gotta be consistent. What's it? How important is that?Oh, everything I post like, here's the thing. Do I have a big media team now? I have one due to the US. I work with my team. And I got it for vas. We also produce, you know, 20 to 30 pieces of content per day. I have probably 10 plus different platforms that we're pushing content to. I'm just about to start a whole nother brand for my mortgage company.For everything that's that we're doing so we're pushing all you know, like, so the team is producing that. I go to the gym every day, unless I'm traveling.Every day when I'm in between a setSo when I'm doing my warm up, do my warm up or walking over to the weights, I fucking grab one of my videos from my Monday board or my slack channel. And I personally write that little copy on my note bag, copy, paste, you know, sometimes I do it differently, but every morning from the gym, it's religious.Think before you go further doing enough, but go ahead. Before you go forward this is important is that so many people want you to post for me, I always tell them you can't outsource authenticity, you can't have someone post for you many times, it's a lot of times it's very hard to actually get track. Get success with that, because people know it's not you. Like you could just tell by the lead into the post and the content you're writing if you don't post your own stuff. I'm huge on that. Like, I hate when I can't have people post for me because it's like, I have some I'm one of them. I'm like my IG channel my gal will post for me, I'm like, What the fuck was that? I would never say that. Yeah, I mean, so for the, you know, for short form shore.Long Form I've let other people have some liberties with that sometimes. And on mybusiness pages across with four different brands, three different brands right now not Sunil Agarwal, but every other brand that we have instance for our Facebook pages forother people are doing those manual posts, which is fine because I mean, it's not necessarily my face, always but my personal page, which is by far my personal profile, my fucking normal Facebook page, folks, not some business page. When are people gonna get it through their mind? They got to spend money for anybody to see that shit. Right? Crazy 2022 Man, that's like, it's like, having a Facebook business page means absolutely nothing like congratulations.But like on my personal page 100% I turned my Instagram into a creator account. So I could have I could run ads off of it and get more insights. And I'm in my personal Instagram, too it's become a fucking goldmine.Now what what do youyour big pushes is building your team right now. Right? You got a lot of leverage. How is a recruiting play into this? And how do you attract other agents to come join you or see what you're doing and all the above? So, you know, I have I'm very fortunate to where you know, I have this tremendous coaching business with my mentor John Shep lac. So I'm very fortunate of that. And I also recruit and I want every agent in my MLS to hang their license under me in some capacity. Like that's the only goal are you doing it? All of them all of them not I want to present I want Bucky all of them right and coaching business because I really that's fulfilling for me.And how's recruiting going off ofhow is recruiting going on Instagram right now? Well, for people who are sitting at home, they may not be able to see this but I have a picture I have a picture from yesterday. Where is it? I don't know. There's a picture from yesterday that I have where my one of my recruiters says please send out these two contracts went through this one woman went to this one man we track the source guess what both sources were yesterday. IGInstagram Yeah.I like it. Now how are you reaching people though? Because like you just mentioned you have your organic reach and then you have your paid reach so for any broker owner that or team leader all you real and exp peoplelisten to what he's gonna say right like what he's gonna say right here so what why are you how are you getting these people? How are you reaching them? Are you running ads you uploading CSV list? Are you doing it?Soa bulk of all those results is organic, always from my consistency. So let me give everybody a little piece of free advice and you could always pay me if you want more advice I can send you the link after the call.We take American Express Visa and MasterCard yes gladly prefer not to take a max but I'll take it theYour first stepis organiccan consistently people always want to rush to spend money and hey, I used to be that guy and you know that there's still some money out there source of money at the organic will shit on the paid 99% of the time. Yep. The hard part is tell them why that is though. Before you go there tell them why that is organic will always outperform paid the vast majority time. Why is that? I think it's because people already know like and trust you and you're a celebritywellAll right and getting that out paid people see your little fucking sponsored ad in the left in the left corner. It still happens.Butorganic, always wins in every piece of business. And I kicked and screamed, always went for paid traffic always went for the paid solution.And organic. I'm finally realizing this now in my in my career, my history as a marketer. Novice to not pretty fucking professional, right? Is I always went paid fuck organic, I'll just cut I'll just cut the line. No, bro like organic wins. So paid strategy.As a matter of fact, depending on when this is published, I'm doing an event in two weeks where we talk about how to do our paid strategy, the growth mode mastermind.com, December 1 and second in Vegas, where we're going to sit in a workshop and actually build out all the campaigns that where I'm going next. And this is, this is the game changer for me. So if the listeners still aren't doing this, then I've stopped. I don't know what I'm telling you. So I pull every list.Everybody in my CRM, I use follow up boss.I think it's great. I transfer the people from follow up boss to through witley to Facebook Ads Manager, right Willie done that shout out to my boy grant wise.Regardless, I get the information, I get the data out of out of the CRM and enter Facebook. Right Whitley's, the easiest way to do that you do the manual should do if you got a bunch of time, I download the agent list.Right? And I also submitted a make that a Facebook audience. I have many other audiences. But I think those two is this where you start just to keep it easy for everybody. And then I'm going to run a couple of social media campaigns using Facebook Ads Manager, Instagram, and Facebook. And I am going to run them as engagement ads, optimizing for through plays. Andreally, you know, I might do like go to website but it's not a legion. Its engagement. Its brand awareness. It's actually video views. The trick with video views Mike and I wished we'd been doing this longer. And I'm sure you know, but for the good for the viewers.Back in the long form days, we would like water like retarget based on through plays, or somebody watched 25% of the video fucking amazing, right? But now when you got short form, like my amount of 2550 100% views is monstrous.So I need to build that audience. First is those video view audience at the same time at the same audience? I'm running static pictures. Like we're the best agents in town, that the best commission plans different ones for different campaigns. Are you are you running engagement on those two are that's a straight click decider conversion.engagement.Engagement, I want that that's the top of funnel shit which, right.And I'm also running another campaign, another two campaigns, testimonials for our consumers and testimonials bar. He doesn't do best 100% Those who do best but I want them in a different? Well, it's in a different ad set sometimes. Right? It's a different campaign sometimes. But I think it could be as the same. I just want there to be good mix. So what he's doing here, you guys he's he's creating content that gets more eyeballs on it, because he's he's setting up for the play action. So what's part two of this stunning? The part two? Is that conversion? Yep. So and I'd be curious to what what you think about this is now that we're running short form, and we're getting so many longer views? Do you still do 25%? Or do you go like, I could have a great audience of people who watch the whole fucking video sometimes on an 18 second video. So I'm I don't know what the what, here's where I get selfish on the podcast episode is what do you do for video views? Like what what likeI have, so it's a good point. So like, here's one of the things that that like I see on some on our videos, the shorter the video, the higher the view content just because of the watch time that gets pushed through the algorithm. So like it's like, against if you're going on short form, it's actuallymore likely not I won't say hurting all videos good, but it's hurting you more than if less if I were to post a 62nd video versus a 10 second video, I guarantee that 10 second video, just way outperforms the 62nd because it's all based on the consumption of the content. So what's the nits? doing here is these is where like explain this is like think of like football play action pass. Right and really what we're doing in actionbucking play action pass. Well, we gotta get we got it. We got it. I thought you said you're in the gym. I thought you know some of these analogies by now. Yes, yeah. Yeah, so play action. Let me let me just do get elementary here for Mr. Nan sporto here Sunnitea play action as you set up in football, they set up the run, they do a handoff, handoff, handoff, three in a row, and they run the same play just to set up the past so that the defense bites in on it. So it's no different. This is content marketing one on one guys, you create a lot of content, and the people that start watching it are raising their hands for you to sell them their shit. That's why it's like a one two approach. So in the play auction, you get them to bite on the run. So you could open up the paths in the same case with this is that we're creating a lot of content up front was creating a lot of engagement and he's doing it on consumption because the people that are consuming more of his content are more likely to engage in React to him. And what he's really doing is case that casting out a wide net of people raising their hands. Part two, he's going in for the killer the past and he's gonna score a touchdown. Now he can pitch them their stuff because they already have an idea what what he does for a living because that's sort of what you're getting so yes, but I'm so I'm curious as part to a lead magnet or schedule a call. It could be any of the above I've been having a lot of success running five different retargeting campaigns once testimonials once frequently asked questions, once pricing once how it works. And the ones that chose different ads in the same ad for different videos and the same ad set, all running and rotating in between. And they're just objection handlers. They're the same videos that should be on the core pages of your website. Andkeep going, Okay, well, no, then so then you're on, you're getting the video views off of those off of those ads. So there's, I have a couple trains of thought on this. I haven't been running, I'm running. I have a different here's, here's my personal opinion. I'm going to try. I'm not running engagement on my first run. I'm running website clicks. And the reason why I'm running website clicks is because people actually click off Facebook are more interested in what I have to say than not. Yes, I'll have a higher targeted list. No, the cold list. No, it's targeted.Hard good. We're getting really geeky on this. All right. Everyone's like oh, we might have to mastermind about this but after but here's the point guys is that you have to what's your building an audience right? And the more people whether they're agents or consumers that know it's a neat does, the more opportunities he's gonna have. That's I mean, that's it. It's a popularity contest at the end of the day. Now Sunday let's just go let's just retract this let's just pretend you never got on video before and mean you're having a one on one consultation right now and I'm trying to talk you into getting on video What do you think the difference is with your brand right now and your successwhat if you were let's say you never did video before how big of an impact has it made you think you're huge Are you kidding me? No, I wouldn't be anywhere recruiting business coaching none of it when firms someone first meet you what's the first impression? Oh I seem is Do you feel that different? I fucking see you everywhere dude. Yes. And what does that mean you were what there have soldmost times they already know like and trust me do like like they are they are ready when an agent comes in they just want to say oh well let you know that I see you everywhere I say I know you're supposed toquit clicking on my shitwhyI lost my train of thought let me think about let me think back about that. But when your agents are coming in to the office like that difference in like positioning is huge guys like I people like I've been running a lot of ads like I'm in middle in between some services and some recreation of my own but same thing like when people come in or do I see you everywhere it's the first thing that people say I see you ever I see you everywhere and it's such an easy attention getter but why why what struggles people from doing this because mean you talking about this like you hear your mentor Chuck black talk about it grant why he's talking about everyone in their mothers like get on video get on video, but less of like one or 2% of agents are actually doing it. What the hell's the whole day? What are your agents say?For me, too, it's so good. We'll be I'm Chris our content guy here. We're a look. You can count fucking film a video every day for free. Trust me, we don't have much left to say anymore. Right? Like, we're like past that.Oh, great. They even sign up but they don't show up. 100%And the biggest thing I went to people going How long did it take you to start seeing results cuz that's also the biggest hurdle is like people think that it's instant. Like instant credibility. It's like no, dude, this takes three to six months to start building but and that's if you're doing a pretty damn good job at it. But it's the long play you guys you have to work on your business, not necessarily in it. Why do real estate agents need Instagram?vacations so much. I have my own opinion. But why do they have to feel like they're getting leads? Because the reality is that a real estate agent would rather buy 300 leads that they'll never call, then start doing a bunch of videos that 300 of their friends commented on. And no one understood why I was that guy. You we had this conversation, folks, I always knew video was important. And I did little half assed and Mikesell Dude, what the fuck are you doing you guys, your listeners to this podcast? joining the club. Me too. But you got to start listening to what these people say. Like I don't know why why people need instant gratification. I remember my my my mom be explaining that to me when I probably did something bad, right? LikeI mean, he'll look. I want to make money now. I also want to make money tomorrow. And the more shit I can do today, that makes me money tomorrow, well, then a fuck. Good. I'm still making money now just have that mindset, bro. Like,I don't know, I don't think I don't think a lot of people know what it feels like to be cracked. When will when you be a lot of opportunities, I sure have come your way out of the content you're creating, like, that's the best part is like, when you start creating, we have people all the time that get picked up on the news. They get pitched forassaulting every fucking day to like I, you know, like six coaching calls today and get opened another business. And it got approached by another business with a seat with a route with a celebrity, like a TV star in real estate today, right. And we had other ships. So it's everything compounds. And it's just the you know, like I was listening to Hermoza yesterday. And he's all and I've been saying this to like, as the marketchanges. I want insulation. And attention is my fucking installation. And I can control the amount of Yes, I can control the amount of attention I get by doing the damn work. Do I spend money on it? Yeah, but not a lot. I don't have to I use the big view free app or a puppet VSL I did this week. With a big view in the corner. I don't give a fuck, right. And so what what her mosey said was attention is the new oil. Yes. And dude, he's he's right. Like, it's the, it is harder and harder to get. And there is a limited amount and you gotta fucking dig for it. Let's go through ROI on video. It's the biggest pet peeve like how's this gonna pay off? Like, let me just give you guys a real simple formula. Tell me if you agree with us? How's this video gonna pay off? Well, let's just not say let's do 100 videos this year, let's just say let's do eight videos a month, it's a lot more easier for us to get our head around that. Now, if you were to do eight videos a month and you're able to post all of those eight videos on IG Facebook reels, IG reels, tick tock YouTube shorts and just that's just short form content. And you were to do eight months and eat what would be the number of total views, you would anticipate me having to throw a number out there? It doesn't matter. It's irrelevant. Oh god. 40,000 Okay, now of those 40,000 views 20,000 college 20,000 I will say, let's say 20,000. So of those 20,000 views, okay, let's say that they're divided up between, let's say 800 people.Of those 800 people 10 to 15% of them are moving this year and 100% of them have a referral for you. Yeah, this is mathematical guys. This isn't theory that we're talking about. It's just that 80 plus percent of them are going to hire the first one they think of or meet with. I was doing a stat the other day and everyone's like, Oh, I'm gonna go up against so many agents in a listing presentation. Guess how many sellers actually interviewed more than two agentsdo like not a lot less than 1% Guess how many sellers interviewed it knows three or more. It was like 3% Enter interview two and over 80% of AD AD to any foreign in 79% of sellers at different age brackets hired the first day in person they met with so when sneetches said is gold guys he says attention is the new oil 100% It is because without that attention you don't get the opportunity to pitch your shit somebody else does. Yes and there's all that you can control like just get startedon a percent sunny love it dude, any closing thoughts you have for people that are contemplating because right now people are like dude, sales are down. I don't want to reinvest in my business. I'm just gonna go sit in a closet and hide what's your rebuttal? Go get another go. I mean, I'm sure that target is hiring for Christmas alpha at this point.They are. That's the reality of the situation in the market. You guys. This is the time to get loud just know that the majority of your competition is quiet. Mike, every time we log on social media do you see my face? Yeah, I see you on Tik Tok like I every morning when I post I do the same thing. You're at the gym. I'm like usually in between changing a diaper some but when I do that, I post my short in the morningAnd, and just that 15 minutes it takes me 1015 minutes a day and every time I do your faces the first damn thing I see.It's hilarious, but dude, you're fucking crushing it. Congrats on all your success and also like, something that I was missing out on when I wasn't making enough normal posts on Insta and Facebook. So this week I'm trying to do two or three a day. And I tell people omnipresence. Kristen asked me four years ago, what's your Word of the Year? I said fucking omnipresence. I know that Grant Cardone Bo book, and I want people to choke on my face, bro. Right? You got it. You can't escape me. Yeah, I want all that attention, all of it. And if you're not doing that, you better be good at something. I don't know.Yeah, my phone rings with opportunities, from the content that I make. Opportunities like getting to be on this great podcast was such a badass Mike Cuevas. I don't know if you guys need anything. Hit me up on Instagram, Sydney, underscore ADRA wall 916 my website. Sign up if you prefer my list, Sydney, Dagara wall.com We got a bunch of tools I use on there was some good deals. And, you know, catch me on social. Just engage with him any which way and he'll start following you around every place you freaking go. And then you'll see how it works. And then just a matter of you putting in an action, folks, thank you very much for listening to this week's episode. We'll see you guys next week. Don't overthink the content creation thing is very simple. Just start doing it. And you'll get better as you go. If I would have told you what Sydney looked like the first couple of videos that he shot, you would probably laugh.I almost want to get the very first one that you did out there because he wasn't nervous at first. But dude, this is how everybody knows it's not hard. It's new. But you just get used to it and become second nature. So Don't Quit letting your own self get in your own way. Start creating content. You should make a post of that first video.Actually, I think I might do that. That's a really good idea. Actually, we're gonna do that when we hang up this podcast. So thank you folks. Make it real.

It is for those who are not satisfied with the blind captivity of their Souls in this perishable cage that these few hints are given to enable them to realize the spiritual Path that is hidden from their physical eyes."

Daar heers groot opgewondenheid oor die Schumacher Bonsmara-veiling wat vanaand om ses-uur by die Bank Windhoek/Agra Ring plaasvind. Volgens Paul Klein, algemene bestuurder by Agra-veilings is daar 28 top-gehalte bulle en 120 vroulike diere op aanbod, ‘n uitstekende toevoeging vir enige boer se kudde.

Dit wil voorkom asof die twee arbeidsaktiviste, Michael Amushelelo en Dimbulukeni Nauyoma hul aanslag teenoor werkgewers in die hoofstad aangepas het. Die twee het met die bestuur van Agra ontmoet en blykbaar uiters produktiewe besprekings gehou in verband met die belangrikheid van landbou vir Namibië se ekonomie. Daar is ook melding gemaak van vennootskappe tussen die twee partye. Kosmos 94.1 Nuus het met die arbeidskenner Herbert Jauch gepraat oor die nuwe baadjie wat die twee aangetrek het.

Agra Auctions is trots om die stryd teen borskanker te ondersteun. Al Agra se Oktober-veilings sal Namibiese produsente die geleentheid bied om by te dra tot 'n uitstekende doel, waar fondse ingesamel word vir die Kankervereniging van Namibië. Paul Klein van Agra Auctions verduidelik aan Kosmos 94.1 Nuus hoe produsente hul skenkings aan die Kankervereniging kan maak.

Thanks to the innovations of Guru Arjan Dev, Sant Dariya Sahib of Bihar, Sant Tulsi Sahib of Hathras, and Soamiji Maharaj of Agra, the Path of Initiation into Inner Light and Sound Meditation (Surat Shabd Yoga) has gradually become progressively more and more available to an ever-growing percentage of humanity. "Satsang shall spread far and wide in future." (Last Words of Soamiji Maharaj) "After Swami Ji Maharaj, the floodgates of initiation opened up and many people would be able to get the initiation." (Baba Ram Singh) And the Sant Mat spiritual classic and scripture known as the Anurag Sagar (Kabir's Ocean of Love) predicts that as this Kali Yuga age continues to unfold, the Path of the Masters will be far more well-known and followed than it is at present. But at every step and in each generation of time, Masters have had to intervene and reboot the Path whenever it begins to go off course, "falls into the mouth of Kal", the negative power, the gnostic demiurge or false god, in other words, eaten by illusion. Soamiji Maharaj of Agra once said of spiritual paths: "Without Bhakti [love], they are all hollow and sham, outer husks without a kernel." It is the inner "kernel" or "seed" of Life we're really after, not developing attachments to institutions or organizations, or going through the motions of holidays, traditions, and rituals, well within the confines of the grinding wheel of transmigration.    "I will make the souls firm in the Shabda of the Gracious Forgiver, Sat Purush. Such souls will be Sahaj [on a natural path]: pure and content. They will do the devotion of the soul, and they will be the abode of pure qualities. By doing the Simran of Sat Purush they will sing the praise of the Immovable Naam. I will send the souls to Sat Lok... Spreading the Nectar of Naam I will awaken the souls. O Dharam Rai [negative power], listen carefully. I will humble your arrogance. By doing the practice of devotion, they will get the passport and I will connect them with the Naam of Sat Purush. The Negative Power can't come near such a soul, and he will bow down to them when he sees their union with Sat Purush." (Anurag Sagar, Kabir's Ocean of Love)     In Divine Light and Sound, Sat Naam Saheb, James Bean https://www.SpiritualAwakeningRadio.com    

As we continue to explore the 7 modern wonders of the world, we have decided to discuss the construction and history of what is likely the most iconic of the wonders: the Taj Mahal! King Jahangir, in Agra, India, had the Taj Mahal built for his "favorite wife," Mumtaz Mahal. It was built to be her final resting place, the fanciest mausoleum of all time. Romantic, right? What resulted is one of the most iconic buildings in the world! Thanks to tens of thousands of works, elephants galore, and more money than I care to think about, the Taj Mahal remains an unparalleled architectural feat.

The Golden Triangle is one of India's most famous road trips. From New Delhi, to Agra, to Jaipur, the voyage includes stops at the center of Jaipur's walled city, old monuments in Delhi city center, and, of course, the glorious Taj Mahal. In this episode, we visit these sites, hearing what it sounds like to be on the grounds of the Taj Mahal as well as inside. We talk to my guide Mahesh about his calling to be a cultural ambassador, but also his singing as we run through the rain. Kishore, a local Agra guide, tells us about the history of the Mughal Empire and his own lessons through a foray into social media and Youtube. This episode is marked by music from a local musician named Deepak Prabhakar, his Indian flute music as beautiful as his story. And finally, once back in Delhi, we speak with Arshiya and Aritra, two teenagers who have already lived on 4 continents before turning 18. With all that traveling, they have some great advice on what it means to be home.

"Hazur [Baba Sawan Singh] one day told Seth Vasdev, whose car is always at Hazur's disposal, that he should read Kabir Sahib's Anurag Sagar (The Ocean of Intense Love). Hazur said that without studying it, one cannot fully understand the difference between Kal (the negative power) and Dayal Mat (the Path of the true and Merciful God), nor can one fully grasp the teachings of Sant Mat." (Rai Sahib Munshi Ram quoted in the Introduction to, The Ocean of Love: The Anurag Sagar of Kabir, English translation, published by Sant Bani Ashram)   "First of all I salute the Satguru, Who showed me the Inconceivable God -- Who, lighting the lamp of the Master's Knowledge and opening the veil, made me have His darshan [vision]... Only the connoisseur, who will test the Shabda [Word] and listen to the teachings with full attention and within whom these teachings will dwell, only he will understand this. He within whom the Sun of Knowledge will manifest and remove the darkness of attachment -- only he will understand this. I am telling you this Anurag Sagar (Ocean of Love) -- only rare saints will understand... As long as the soul remains in the body, 0 brother, practice the Path of Shabda... The path of the Essential Shabda is subtle, easy and perfect; but only the brave can follow it... The Union of Surat [Soul] and Shabda -- when one gets Shabda, he reaches the realm of the saints. It is the play of the drop and the Ocean. What else can one say? After meeting the Satguru, one understands the play of Shabda and Surat. It is the union of the drop and the Ocean. What else can one say? Giving up the qualities of mind, one should follow the Path of the Master. Such a soul goes to Sat Lok and derives Happiness from the Ocean of Happiness... He who gets the Shabda becomes free of the dirt of birth after birth. The jiva [Soul] who gets the Naam and Simran goes to Sat Lok. The soul who accepts the Shabda of the Master with firmness becomes as valuable as nectar. He goes back to his home with the strength of Sat Naam and his soul sings in peace and happiness." (selections from, The Anurag Sagar)   The Anurag Sagar, Guru Kabir's Ocean of Love, is one of many sacred texts composed and used by the Dharamdasi branch of Kabir Panth, the Sant Dharam Das line of Masters (the People of the Anurag Sagar). The Anurag Sagar is but one of many volumes in a larger collection known as the Kabir Sagar (Ocean of Kabir) consisting of many scriptures with the same question and answer format of dialogues (catechism) between Kabir (the Master) and Sant Dharam Das (the disciple). The Anurag Sagar is an essential text of Sant Mat, the Path of the Masters in the guru lineage of Sant Dharam Das, in the satsangs of Sant Dariya Sahib of Bihar, and Sant Tulsi Sahib of Hathras. It remains popular with Radhasoami's as it was greatly valued by Soamiji Maharaj of Agra, Hazur Baba Sawan Singh, and is still considered essential reading by their spiritual successors up to the present time.     God is the Ocean of Love.   In Divine Love, Light and Sound, Radhasoami, Peace Be to You,   James Bean   Spiritual Awakening Radio Website: https://www.SpiritualAwakeningRadio.com   Introduction to Sant Mat Spirituality and Meditation -- Web Page: https://www.SpiritualAwakeningRadio.com/sant-mat    

On this auspicious day, Wednesday, July 13th, 2022 in India is Guru Purnima, Masters' Day, Teachers' Day. Devotees pay homage to their Spiritual Teacher (Sant Satguru) especially on this day. Today on this Sant Mat Satsang Podcast a Guru Purnima Message.    Thankfully, there have been honest, loving, radiant, Godly beings that have graced this planet with their enlightened compassion. They work with those who seek the Path of the Masters and successfully practice Surat Shabd Yoga (Inner Light and Sound meditation) in a way that is almost identical to the Ideal spiritual path described by Swami Ji Maharaj of Agra, Sant Tulsi Sahib of Hathras, and Sant Dariya Sahib of Bihar, with a rich mystical approach to meditation practice, travelling quite far along in their journey back to God. These initiates have very real experiences commencing with their meditation practice.   "The true gurus live a simple life and morally upright lifestyle; they stay away from the pomp and show of the display of power. For example, they do not have expensive cars and opulent ashrams. They do not show favoritism among their followers... They do not consume prohibited foods (alcohol, animal products, etc...), nor do they instruct their followers for their consumption... They do not pretend to be in Samadhi nor do they put on a public display of fasting. They do not cling to a particular caste and do not favor religious customs. They do not care about their appearance nor try to impress others through their outer appearance." (Swami Vyasanand)   "Another common misconception is that prophets, saints and mystics search for 'new' truth. Rather, what they do is to simply remove the layers of dirt -- of accumulated misinterpretations -- that have corrupted the truth. Then the living teacher will bring forth the very same truth in a new light. The original truth must repeatedly be presented to suit the current age." (Swami Santsevi Ji Maharaj)   "One wishing to reach one's home should seek the Satguru's shelter. This will help one pursue the pathway leading to one's true home." (Maharshi Mehi)    "Feed your heart in conversation with someone harmonious with it; seek spiritual advancement from one who is advanced. If you seek to know God, sit at the feet of the Saints." (Rumi)   "All Scriptures, Sages, Saints and Mahatmas have laid great emphasis on devotion to a Master, because without devotion all our spiritual practices take us only half-way and do not bring proper results." (Hazur Baba Sawan Singh)   "The teachings of all Saints are essentially the same. They speak of the 'Kingdom of Heaven' which is within. They show the path and impart instructions to attain it. They do not claim to teach something new or different from what other Saints have taught. Tulsi Sahab declared that he was giving the same teachings as those of Kabir Sahab, Nanak Sahab, Dadu Sahab and other Saints. Tulsi Sahab, for the first time, used the expression 'Sant Mat' or 'The Teachings of the Saints' to stress the basic unity of the teachings of all Saints."

How has Africa been affected by the growing food crisis sparked by Russia's invasion of Ukraine? In this podcast we hear from three experts, their analysis of the situation, and their solutions - both to the immediate challenge and to making Africa's food system more resilient in the face of challenges such as climate change and conflict. The podcast features Lawrence Haddad of GAIN, Ndidi Nwuneli of Sahel Consulting, and Assan Ngombe of AGRA, along with voices from Addis Ababa's food markets (thanks to Kalkidan Wondimu of the Food and Land Use Coalition) and UN Secretary General António Guterres (https://unsdg.un.org/latest/announcements/un-chiefs-remarks-launch-global-crisis-response-group-food-energy-and-finances). The podcast was presented and produced by Nicholas Walton.

This episode looks at the development of artillery doctrine leading up to 2nd Battle of El Alamein. 2nd Alamein was the apogee of Australian Artillery in the Second World War and we will look at the role that BRIG Ramsay from 9th Div Arty built a team and capability to support the 9th Div and MAJ GEN Morshead. The lessons learnt from Ex Bumper - the largest exercise ever conducted by the British Army in preparation for a German invasion of England. The required improvements in artillery C2 Centralisation at the Divisional and higher level. The lack of the AGRA - the Army Group Royal Artillery. Montgomery, who had fought in WW1, understood the impact that artillery can have and was keen to restore it's capability to delivery decisive effects on the battlefield.  How did he do this?

Soami Ji Maharaj was a mystic traveler of the Heavens and described his explorations of Inner Space in his writings. The out-of-this-world mystic poetry of Soamiji Maharaj today on Spiritual Awakening Radio, a Sant Mat Satsang Podcast. This program is all about the life, teachings and Sar Bachan Radhasoami poetry of Soamiji Maharaj (Seth Shiv Dayal Singh, Sant Radhasoami Saheb) of the Radhasoami Faith (Sant Mat, the Path of the Masters). Swami Ji's verses are quite intricate with layers of meaning, and contain numerous terms for the various heavenly regions, states of consciousness, visionary and auditory experiences he encountered as he was in communion with his Beloved Radhasoami, Supreme Being, The Lord of the Soul. The Sar Bachan Radhasoami Poetry (Nazm yaani Chhand bandh) is one of the most other-worldly spiritual classics of India, and is based upon Swami Ji's own inner travels, experiences and spiritual realizations during meditation practice (Surat Shabd Yoga, Inner Light and Sound Ascension, soul travel). Soami Ji even made use of some Persian or Sufi mystical terminology at times, and composed some ghazals in Persian. "Soami Ji's father and grand-father were Persian scholars." (The Biography of Soami Ji Maharaj) Soami Ji "acquired a working knowledge of Arabic and Sanskrit", earlier in his life for a time taught Persian, and even "wrote a book in Persian." (Radhasoami Faith -- A Historical Study) Swami Ji himself says, "How shall I openly speak of its process (the process of creation in Pinda: the material universes, And: the astral dimensions, and Brahmand: Universal Mind realms -- this best remains confidential), for none can comprehend its secrets and idioms which I will have to have to employ to reveal them."    "O Soul! Who are you and whence have you come? You are a ray from Purush (the Supreme Being) and an inhabitant of the purely Spiritual Region." "Always remember the Lord, and, knowing that He is always with you, imbue yourself with His love." (Swami Ji Maharaj)   "Such is the peculiar efficacy of the Path of Love and Devotion that if you adopt it, it will transport you to the Reservoir of Ambrosia. In the Source or Fountain, i.e., in Radhasoami Dham [the Eighth Heaven], there is absolutely no trace of maya [illusion]. There it is all love and love alone. It is an immense Reservoir of Love, having no beginning and no end."  (Soami Ji Maharaj, Sar Bachan Radhasoami Poetry, Volume One)   Soamiji's Cave-like Meditation Room-Within-A-Room: "From childhood Soamiji Maharaj used to shut himself up in a small room which is at the back of another room on the ground floor of his house. For light and air there is a small aperture, otherwise no noise can reach within. This room still exists in a renovated form and is considered as one of the most sacred and hallowed of places." (Biography of Babuji Maharaj) "For about fifteen years, Soami Ji Maharaj used to shut Himself up in a room which is within another room [a meditation room within a room of his home in Agra]. He was all the time absorbed in the bliss of Surat Shabd Yoga." (Huzur Maharaj Rai Saligram) After this period of deep exploration of the inner regions and union with his Beloved Radhasoami in Sach Khand (the Highest of the Heavens), Swami Ji emerged and began his Spiritual Mission of holding public satsang and initiating souls into the Mysteries of the Kingdom of the Heavens. "In January 1861, Soami Ji started publicly explaining the method of Saints (Sant Mat) to a few people who gathered at his home. This satsang [true association, association with Eternal Truth] continued for nearly seventeen years, during which period about four thousand persons  -- men and women  -- Hindus, Muslims, Jains, Sravagis, and a few Christians were initiated by him into Sant Mat (the Path of the Saints), i.e. Radhasoami Path (the Path of the Supreme Being). Most of these were householders; but some (about three hundred) were Sadhus also." (Encyclopaedia of Saints of India, Volume Nineteen: Radhasoami)   Radhasoami,   James Bean Spiritual Awakening Radio Sant Mat Satsang Podcasts https://www.SpiritualAwakeningRadio.com

The Taj Mahal is one of the most beautiful man-made structures in the world. It is a UNESCO world heritage site considered to be one of the modern wonders of the world. The story behind its construction is equally beautiful as it is a tale of love and devotion between Shah Jahan and his wife Mumtaz Mahal who passed away shortly after giving birth to their fourteenth child. The Taj Mahal has a massive dome stretching 240 feet covered in marble. The are four thin white marble minarets to mark the four corners. Of course without cranes, getting giant slabs of marble to such heights was no easy task. A ramp would be constructed to bring the pieces up, and to keep the incline manageable the ramp used for this construction had to be about 10 miles long.  Shah Jahan never really got over the loss of his wife. He remained in mourning for years before his position was usurped by his fourth son. He was imprisoned in a fort in Agra in 1658. He was forbidden to leave and spent the final 8 years of his life in the fort looking out the window at the Taj Mahal. When he died in 1666, Shah Jahan was reunited with his beloved wife Mumtaz Mahal in the crypt beneath the Taj Mahal. Who ARTed is an Airwave Media Podcast.

So in this scenario, with this, what we're getting ready to do, is going to more than double this person would have ever made by being part of the profit share. And it's like, it's their baby, they'll treat it like their own in that regard. So, and I explained that right up front, you know, if there's room to grow in the future, usually, it's such a life changing thing right off the bat, even at 10 to 15%. It's never been an issue.   Intro  00:34 Welcome to the How to Scale Commercial Real Estate Show. Whether you are an active or passive investor, we'll teach you how to scale your real estate investing business into something big.   Sam Wilson  00:45 Shane Torres became an agent in 2009, and joined the REMAX Concepts family. As his business began to flourish. He opened an office in Polk City and began adding office staff 2013, he saw an opportunity to become a mentor and became a broker and an owner and also owns several other businesses as well, Shane, welcome to the show.   Shane Torres  01:04 Thanks for having me on.   Sam Wilson  01:05 Hey, man, the pleasure is mine. There's three questions I ask every guest who comes on the show in 90 seconds or less? Can you tell me where do you start? Where are you now? And how did you get there?   Shane Torres  01:13 Started as a builder. Currently, today I am on multiple brokerages and other businesses affiliated with that in investing as well. And what was the third one?   Sam Wilson  01:23 Where do you start? Where are you now? And how did you get there?   Shane Torres  01:25 Oh, how did I get there? I just thought worked everybody.   Sam Wilson  01:29 I love that. That's a very succinct answer. Well, tell me so outside of the REMAX, you know, residential side of things? What are the other businesses you have that kind of help augment that business?   Shane Torres  01:40 Yeah, so we have an insurance company, a settlement company, a property management company, obviously, we have a commercial division, I now do commercial development, in financially backs and builders. So I have you know, that helps create inventory, and it's sidebar to investing tool. They're all somewhat affiliated, but they all stand on their own.   Sam Wilson  02:03 Right now, that's really intriguing. And I think that's everyone's goal, I think, is to have multiple businesses and multiple sources of income was that your initial goal setting out was saying, Alright, I'm just gonna build all these, they all continue to produce revenue for me,   Shane Torres  02:17 you know, honestly, my goal set now was just to survive, but as things that opportunities have presented themselves, and I've just looked at him and said, does it make sense? And can it someday stand on its own? And if so then we do it, knowing that they all kind of work together. So now, yes, that is my goal. And how I move forward is how does it fit into our current structure?   Sam Wilson  02:38 What did opportunity look like when it presented itself to grow?   Shane Torres  02:43 You know, someone mentioned, it could be a casual conversation of acquiring an office or another business or starting another business. And I look at it, you know, can have a good revenue, what's it going to cost to operate it? Any business that I have? Someone else runs it, we pay him a very nice salary plus some incentive, make sure that we don't have headaches? And after all that said and done, is there a good return there? And if so, they will do it?   Sam Wilson  03:09 Yeah, that's really intriguing. I mean, one of the things that, you know, as you grow, especially a new business is that you may not have your process maps done, you may not have all of that stuff dialed in, because it's a new line of business. How do you start a new line of business without adding to your personal administrative burden?   Shane Torres  03:27 You know, prime example, I'm getting ready to build a daycare. So we'll own and operate a daycare. I don't know anything about operating a daycare. So what I did in that scenario that I started, I know someone who's got a background in that. And so I approached them and asked them if they'd want to run it. If so, when it comes time, you know, obviously, I put up an initial investment to get the business going. But the company at that point will pay them a good salary, but you had a piece of the profit to treat it like their own. So it's worked out really well. I mean, that process started two years ago as a joke. When jokingly said you should build a daycare, and here we are,   Sam Wilson  04:03 that's really intriguing. When you're having those conversations, obviously, you've done an initial that on the person themselves. So maybe you already know them. But how do you make sure you structure it? I know, you said you give them a really nice salary plus a profit incentive. But how do you structure it such that you aren't giving away too much of the deal too early or too fast or such that it keeps people motivated?   Shane Torres  04:25 It's never that much of a it could be anywhere from 2% to 10%, meaning I can still control 90% of it. I've never given up more than 60 to 70% or I mean 30 to 40%. I retain 60 to 70%. Yeah, and in a lot of cases. So my goal has been you know, if I can do these things and be successful, but help other people become successful beyond anything they were going to accomplish on their own, then that's a win win to me. So in this scenario, with this what we're getting ready to do, is going to more than double this person's revenue. Right, by being part of the profit share, and it's like, it's their baby, they'll treat it like their own in that regard. So, and I explained that right up front, you know, if there's room to grow in the future, usually, it's such a life changing thing right off the bat, even at 10 to 15%. It's never been   Sam Wilson  05:19 an issue, right? That's really intriguing. Tell me about your commercial lines of business. I know, daycare probably falls in the commercial line of things. But tell me about your commercial. What you guys are building developing what you see in the future and why.   Shane Torres  05:32 Yep, so right now my focus has been like retail, a lot of it started with just places I wanted to put real estate offices, there was nothing there. So we would build and develop our own building. But while doing so why not just make it bigger, and lease it out to other people as well. So I get my biggest one, obviously, couple of years ago, started in 2019, went through 2020, which it still worked out really great. And my office filled half of that building. But I decided to once I got that completely fall, I would list it at a crazy price. And I did and I sold it. So then I was able to parlay that into other things. So currently looking at acquiring a 29,000 square foot building that we currently lease, and completely rehabbing that for our main office. I'm looking at a strip center right behind the building here that I'm sitting in. For that one will house the anchors will be a restaurant and a coffee shop, which I will also be a part of the ownership of those two entities, the daycare, and then the biggest one I'm working on is on a property that south of here that it will be a 15,000 square foot new build, that is going to be a restaurant bar Event Center real estate office on one, I got the idea from office in Scottsdale, that's done something similar. But what I decided is because we're also doing coffee shops slash real estate office, anything we do office wise, going forward will be dual purpose, meaning not necessarily specifically real estate. So the first example would be the coffee shop and real estate office that hadn't been done before, they will be open to the public, they will be able to have a membership to it. And then the same thing with this new one. It's more than dual purpose because it's an event center, restaurant and real estate office all in one that will be separated with glass walls, and those doors will open up. And basically you have seating for a bigger event or for the restaurant or whatever it may be. And that's in a development. I don't know if you've heard of them or not. They're called Agra hoods. So basically, there's only a couple of them in the country. It's basically a residential development in the middle of a working farm. So it's the only one in the Midwest. The other ones I think are out in Colorado and stuff like that very unique concept. It's like a 20 year project. We've got that land that we're working on designs and performance and things like that right now. So that will be the big one coming up. And then just constantly looking at what other projects are out there at 44 acres tied up to do some commercial and residential development ran into some bad soil. So I changed my mind trying to think of missing anything. Oh, revitalizing the church here in town. That's from my wife's business. That'll be a youth center game lounge, Community Room, but not like your normal Community Room be like inside of a house. So I think that's all for this year.   Sam Wilson  08:35 I think you got your hands full. That's a lot of moving pieces if someone wanted to emulate what you do. And I know we touched on this a little bit. Yeah. What are some tips or what are some things you would say to them? You said, Hey, you want to go out and have your hands and a dozen different things without I guess you and I are both bald. So I can't You can't sit without going bald. Brett, you know, without the proverbial going bald, what would you say to it?   Shane Torres  08:57 I just align myself with people who have done it before and willing to give advice. And along the way I don't try to reinvent the wheel. Anything I've done. I've got a good team of people around me. And I just rely on them to make sure that I'm making smart decisions.   Sam Wilson  09:12 How do you enforce or how do you manage quality control?   Shane Torres  09:16 I think it starts with that first key person you put in place to oversee everybody else. We've been fortunate and blessed in all of our entities that we've got a really good top level person that is all about quality control, just as we are and they're able to, you know, reflect that down to the others that they oversee.   Sam Wilson  09:36 Talk to me about funding is this something where you are at the point where everything is self funded,   Shane Torres  09:41 some of it to be completely honest. In 2009 I lost everything and had to start over so I don't like to completely sell fun. Some of them are self funded. If I know I'm gonna get it back quickly. But I have partnerships with a couple people when I first got started, did my first project ever I could have done it on my own. I didn't want to That one had four or five partners in it. I got to the point now I just I don't want any more than one, like there's some Class B shares, and we'll sell those for return, you know, investors. And that's about point I did. It's been brought up a few times. So I think we're going to start a syndication group for our brokerage and let our agents start to invest in that in that way, you know, they might not have the risk tolerance, but they might be willing to start building that generational wealth. And we can help them with that. So I do a combination of investors, myself and banks,   Sam Wilson  10:32 right. Yeah, that's interesting when it comes to   Shane Torres  10:36 income annuities, communities, cities, I mean, I don't know what it's like there. But around here, like the daycare, the city gave me a very nice tax rebate for up to 15 years. That's the equivalent of about $1.5 million. I know of another development that just got announced the city's kicking in $3 million to get that deal done. So that's what I'm referring to about cities and municipalities.   Sam Wilson  11:03 How do you discover City's willingness to participate?   Shane Torres  11:08 It's usually the level of need of the project going into the community. Not so my daycare, for example, there are no daycares in that community. There's been like 400 houses built in the last few years, there's another 200 coming. It's a dire need over there. Right. So it started as a joke, I jokingly said, they're like, come talk to us, you know, tell us what it would take, I told them and a year later, it came to fruition, they have to look at what it's going to do for them as well. And as long as you can show the value to that community, more often than not, they'll do it.   Sam Wilson  11:40 Hmm. Very cool. I love that. And I guess when it comes to want to explore this idea of setting up a fund, or your agents to invest in because one of the things that I have seen, and I'm sure anybody listening to the show can understand is that most real estate agents have no idea how to invest in real estate, how are you overcoming that with the people inside of your organization? I know, this is one of the methods, but what's that kind of full picture look like?   Shane Torres  12:06 It's actually one of the things we talk about train on regularly. So that's been one of the other things, we have our own real estate school as well. One of the classes that we have is how to create that what we call mailbox money or you know, wake up money or whatever. And a lot of them, you know, they know how to dabble in the residential side of stuff, you know, they can buy a rental hear there, but they don't know the scope of this type of stuff in these larger deals. So as these questions have come up, more and more, I decided to put it out there and be like, hey, who would be interested in something like this, you know, of our 310 agents, over about 115 said yes, they want more info. So that's a lot that could happen. You start looking at that kind of people, you go buy, you know, multi unit apartment building or apartment complexes. And I mean, the sky's the limit. And I'm actually I think, here at the end of the month, I have a class, not a class, just a presentation, I'm gonna go through and show them and explain how it all works, and educate them on you know, the risks and the rewards of what it would take to get into it and minimums things like that.   Sam Wilson  13:11 That is absolutely awesome. Good. I mean, you know, I got my license here in Tennessee, I don't do anything, really with it on the residential side used two years ago, but certainly that was a need that I saw in that space was like, it's amazing how little education exist around how to invest in real estate on the residential side and on the commercial side of the right side is just a complete mystery to most real estate agents. So that's absolutely fantastic. I love what you're doing there for the people on your team. Love what you're doing there in an Iowa so keep up the good work. Thank you for coming on today.

Hardcover. A panoramic history of the savage combat on the Western Front between 1914 and 1918 that came to define modern warfare. The Western Front evokes images of mud-spattered men in waterlogged trenches, shielded from artillery blasts and machine-gun fire by a few feet of dirt. This iconic setting was the most critical arena of the Great War, a 400-mile combat zone stretching from Belgium to Switzerland where more than three million Allied and German soldiers struggled during four years of almost continuous combat. It has persisted in our collective memory as a tragic waste of human life and a symbol of the horrors of industrialized warfare.
