Can you truly change the world if you haven't first changed yourself? Gerard Powell was a CEO who took two companies public — and was quietly, persistently miserable. His journey from deep personal dissatisfaction and addiction to the discovery of plant medicine led to the founding of Rythmia Life Advancement Center in Costa Rica, the world's first medically licensed ayahuasca retreat. Nearly 24,000 guests later, with a 98.12% self-reported transformational success rate, Gerry joins Care More Be Better to make the case that the most powerful outward impact begins with the courageous work of inner transformation. He and host Corinna Bellizzi explore the soul fracture that no amount of success can heal, the arms dealers and billionaires who left Rythmia wanting to give their lives to helping others, and the message the medicine gave Gerry when he went to her crying about the state of the world: stop the war within yourself and the other wars will go away.

Yosemite is one of the most visited national parks in America, attracting more than 4 million visitors every year. But when it comes to short-term rentals, the opportunity may be even bigger than most investors realize. In this week's Monday Market Data Report, Mark Lumpkin breaks down the Yosemite STR market, including travel demand, regulations, seasonality, and the amenities that separate average properties from true standouts.Here's what the data shows: Fire Pits → 64% of listings  Hot Tubs → 61%  Pools → 13%  Home Gyms → 13%  Game Rooms → 10%  Saunas → 8%  Playgrounds → 6%  Waterfront → 4%  Pickleball Courts → 1% The takeaway?Most Yosemite rentals stop at a fire pit and hot tub. The investors who add game rooms, pools, saunas, or pickleball courts create true unicorn properties with very little competition.If you're looking for a mountain market where differentiation still matters, Yosemite deserves a closer look.

Students today aren't just evaluating colleges based on rankings, programs, or amenities — they're asking a much deeper question: Will I feel like I belong here? In this solo episode of Talking Tactics, Safaniya “Safy” Stevenson explores the growing connection between student loneliness, emotional wellness, and higher education marketing. From the rise of “third spaces” to the power of emotionally intelligent campus storytelling, Safy unpacks why the future of enrollment marketing may belong to the institutions that know how to market human connection, not just outcomes. If your campus tour, student experience, or brand messaging still feels transactional, this episode offers a fresh perspective on how to create more resonant, belonging-driven narratives that today's students are craving. - - - -Connect With Our Host:Safaniya Stevensonhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/safaniyastevenson/ About The Enrollify Podcast Network:Talking Tactics is a part of the Enrollify Podcast Network.

Saxum West's Nina Steiner on finding space for Hollywood studios, the LA office market, proof stacking, and why the riches are in the follow-up. The Crexi Podcast connects commercial real estate (CRE) professionals with industry insights built for smart decision-making. In each episode, we explore the latest trends, innovations and opportunities shaping commercial real estate, because we believe knowledge should move at the speed of ambition and every conversation should empower professionals to act with greater clarity and confidence.   Nina Steiner spent years in television production before finding her way into commercial real estate. Ten years later she is one of the only tenant reps in LA who specializes in entertainment: securing writers' rooms, production studio space, and flexible offices for showrunners, studios, and production companies. In this episode, Nina joins host Adam Siegel to talk about what makes entertainment real estate different, how she built her niche, why she chose proof stacking over cold calling, and what staying in the game looks like. Welcome to The Crexi Podcast Introducing Nina Steiner of Saxum West From TV production and internet new media to commercial real estate The Santa Monica meetup that started everything Getting licensed and choosing the tenant rep lane What surprised her most: rules, vetting, and learning on the fly Why having a previous career is an advantage in brokerage Storytelling as a trust-building tool How the stonecutter's creed changed her mindset Why she chose tenant rep over investment sales and landlord work Flexible workspace as a differentiator — volume where others saw small potatoes How the entertainment niche evolved without a business plan The showrunner rule: they want to be close to where they live Eight leases closed in Sherman Oaks in Q1 Why production people avoid managed flex: always in stealth mode What entertainment clients need: perimeter offices, bullpen, large conference room Working a UK writers' room placement across a 12-hour time difference Staying calm, offering options, and not deciding for the client Proof stacking: saying the same thing consistently even when there are crickets Be niche, narrow your market, know your lane Boutique versus big shop and why flexibility matters LA's entertainment real estate ebbs and flows with content cycles Amenities are now table stakes for landlords Lease terms getting shorter: startups taking 3 months, not 3 years Staying on the good side of both sides: communication first Act when a space hits 90% of the boxes — a LOI is non-binding Watching streaming as research for her next client LinkedIn, proof stacking, and posting even when nobody seems to be watching AI tools: Gamma for presentations, Claude for prompts and content Building referrals through warm calls and doing right by people The Vancouver referral: turning a cross-border deal into a handoff Advice for early-career brokers: interview tenured brokers, pick one lane The thrill of the hunt: what still gets her up in the morning The 10-minute walk to the beach and why balance matters Half a commission beats no commission     About Nina Steiner: Nina Steiner has over 10 years of experience as a commercial real estate tenant representative in Los Angeles, specializing in office and retail leasing. Her unique background as a former television line producer gives her an edge in understanding the entertainment industry's specific needs, from securing writers' rooms to finding the perfect space for production studios.

Wellness is one of the most talked-about ideas in real estate development right now — and one of the most misapplied. In this episode, I explore why wellness should be embedded in development strategy from day one, rather than treated as something to add in once the architecture is largely fixed. I look at what genuine wellness integration actually means across different asset types — residential, hospitality, offices and mixed-use — and why the distinction between wellness amenities and a real wellness strategy matters more than ever in an increasingly crowded market. If you work in development, design, investment or hospitality, this one is for you. greenhealthyplaces.com biofilico.com biofit.io

A hot tub is not your strategy. Neither is a game room. Or a pickleball court. Or checking every box on Airbnb. In this episode of Branded & Booked, I'm calling out one of the biggest mistakes short-term rental owners are making right now: confusing amenities with strategy. Because here's the truth… Amenities might help you compete, but they are not what positions your brand. And if your entire marketing strategy is built on what you have instead of how it makes people feel, you're going to stay stuck competing on price, copying competitors, and relying on OTAs to fill your calendar. Inside this episode, I'm breaking down what actually drives bookings in today's market, and it's not more "stuff." It's clear positioning, intentional storytelling, and a branded guest experience that creates real emotional connection. I walk through why "box checking" is hurting your bookings more than helping, how to turn your features into experiences your guests actually remember, and what it really takes to stand out in a saturated STR market. You'll also start to see why competing on price is a race to the bottom, and what it looks like to step out of it by building a brand people trust and come back to. Because the goal isn't just to get booked. It's to build a brand people choose, return to, and are willing to pay more for. If you've been adding amenities, tweaking your listing, and still not seeing the traction you want, this episode will completely shift how you think about your strategy. Ready to go deeper? STR Marketing Simplified kicked off today, April 7, but you can still join me. We're diving into how to build a brand that drives direct bookings, increases guest loyalty, and gives you more control over your business without relying on OTAs.

They're everything.Using data from STR Search, we break down what top-performing properties are doing differently — and why some homes generate $250K+ per year while others struggle to break even in the exact same location.Here's what the data shows:• Fire Pits (83%) → +$42,750/year • Hot Tubs (75%) → +$45,600/year • Game Rooms (71%) → +$41,100/year • Playgrounds (41%) → +$55,000/year • Saunas (19%) → +$21,000/year • Movie Theaters (13%) → +$58,000/yearThe takeaway is clear: amenity stacking drives revenue in the Poconos.Properties with multiple high-impact amenities consistently outperform — while under-amenitized homes fall far behind, even if they share the same location, views, and bedroom count.If you're investing in the Poconos, this episode gives you the blueprint to compete — and win.Subscribe for market data every Monday and expert guests every Friday.

John Casmon interviews Ben Kanner, founder of Three V Infrastructure, about the growing intersection between EV charging and multifamily real estate. Ben shares his journey from subprime mortgages to Deutsche Bank portfolio management and eventually into renewable infrastructure, where he identified a major financing gap in EV charging for commercial properties. He explains why EV charging should be viewed primarily as an amenity rather than a direct NOI driver and how operators can use it to attract higher-income renters, increase rents, and reduce turnover. Ben breaks down EV adoption trends, noting that while U.S. penetration still trails global markets, adoption continues to rise—especially with more affordable EV models and a wave of used Teslas entering the market. For multifamily owners, the key isn't just installation, but proper underwriting based on EV registration data, demographic trends, and projected utilization. Three V Infrastructure offers a no-upfront-cost model where they fund, install, own, and manage the chargers, taking utilization risk and only profit-sharing after recouping their capital and a threshold return.

I sit down with Frey Chu to go deep on how to use Claude Code to build AI-coded directories, specifically how to tackle the hardest part: getting valuable data. Frey walks us through three real-world directory examples (a funeral home directory, a senior living directory, and GasBuddy), we play a game guessing their traffic and monetization, and then he does a full live walkthrough of the seven-step process he used to build a luxury restroom trailer directory in four days for under $250. I also ask him about the future of directories in a world where LLMs are changing how people search. Timestamps 00:00 – Intro 02:15 – What you'll learn 03:00 – Directory Game:Parting(Funeral Home Directory) 05:42 – Directory Game: A Place for Mom (Senior Living Directory) 08:00 – Directory Game: GasBuddy (Crowdsourced Gas Price Directory) 12:32 – The Data Moat Thesis 14:02 – Luxury Restroom Trailers: The Niche Directory Demo 15:52 – Before & After: WordPress Directory vs. Claude Code Directory 19:04 – Cost Breakdown: Built in 4 Days for Under $250 21:23 – Step 1: Scraping Raw Data with Outscraper 22:25 – Step 2: Cleaning Data with Claude Code 23:27 – Step 3: Using Crawl4AI for Automated Website Verification 28:01 – Step 4: Enriching Trailer Inventory Data 31:33 – Step 5: Scraping & Verifying Images with Claude Vision 36:33 – Step 6: Amenities, Features & Filter Data 38:31 – Step 7: Service Areas 39:15 – Niche Directory Ideas: Dementia Care, ADA Bathrooms, Tap Water Quality 43:38 – For Naysayers: Is Building a Directory Worth It in 2026? 47:51 – LLMs, AI Search & the Future of Directories Links Mentioned: Outscraper: https://startup-ideas-pod.link/outscraper Crawl4AI: https://startup-ideas-pod.link/crawl4AI Key Points Data is the moat for any successful directory — and with Claude Code plus Crawl4AI, the hardest part (data cleaning and enrichment) is now dramatically faster and cheaper. Every successful directory helps people save time, save money, or make money — and price transparency is a massive, underserved opportunity across boring niches. Frey built a fully enriched luxury restroom trailer directory in four days for under $250, a process that would have taken 2,000+ hours of manual work. Monetization depends on the niche: lead generation, vertical SaaS, agency services, ads, debit cards, affiliate, and marketplace models all work. Directories remain strong in an AI search world because users browsing a directory are in the decision-making phase, especially in high-stakes niches like health, legal, finance, and senior living. Building a directory is one of the best playgrounds to learn Claude Code, SEO, and lead generation — even if the first one is just a learning exercise.

In this episode of HALO Talks, host Pete Moore reconnects with longtime friend and real estate industry veteran Jeff Roseman, Vice Chairman at Newmark and previous guest. (Podcast #151. Link below.) Together, they dive into the surging demand for fitness and wellness tenants in New York City, discussing how the HALO space has helped revitalize the retail and office markets.  Jeff shares insider perspectives on landlord-tenant dynamics, the nuances of leasing deals—including the New York-centric "good guy clause"—and the importance of understanding market economics. The conversation covers emerging concepts, evolving tenant rep strategies, and the exciting growth of new brands shaping the city's HALO landscape. Whether you're a seasoned operator, an aspiring entrepreneur, or just curious about what's driving NYC's commercial real estate trends, this episode is packed with practical insights, some fun anecdotes, and a bullish outlook on the future of in-person fitness and retail. On the good guy clause Roseman says, "The good guy guarantee is just you basically guaranteeing that you're going to stay in the space, you're guaranteeing that you're going to pay rent, and if business is terrible and you have to leave, you just hand back the keys . . . because getting the keys back from a delinquent tenant can take a year, if not longer. And that really screws everything up." Key themes discussed Surge in fitness/wellness tenants in NYC real estate. Landlord flexibility with new fitness concepts and brands. Importance and explanation of the Good Guy clause. Tenant support: Financial guidance and market understanding. Shifts in lease terms, rents, and office building resets. Notable fitness/wellness brands landlords favor recently. A Few Key Takeaways:  1.Fitness & Wellness Tenants Are Booming in NYC: Jeff mentions that fitness and wellness tenants in NYC surged by 40% year-over-year. The variety of brands—from Pilates to high-intensity and recovery concepts—highlights a vibrant, evolving landscape that's energizing the local commercial real estate market. 2. The HALO Sector Has Been a Lifeline for Commercial Real Estate: Fitness, wellness, and associated businesses have played a crucial role in making office buildings more attractive post-pandemic. Amenities like fitness centers, healthy cafes, and wellness offerings are now seen as vital for drawing people back to workspaces, not just traditional banks or drugstores. 3. Landlord-Tenant Dynamics & the Role of Good Guy Guarantees: Pete and Jeff also talk about the "unique" structure of New York City leases, especially the use of the "good guy" guarantee. This provision allows independent operators flexibility to exit a lease without ongoing liability if things don't work out, while big national chains with strong credit are typically held to stricter long-term obligations. 4. Site Selection Is About More than Just Rent and Buildout Costs: Roseman emphasizes the importance of understanding market dynamics, competition, and location history—not just the physical space or potential cost savings from a previous tenant's buildout. Success comes down to execution, market insight, and a thorough understanding of what makes a site (and business model) viable. 5. The Resilience of In-Person Retail and Fitness: Despite predictions that online shopping and the pandemic would devastate brick-and-mortar retail and fitness centers, Jeff Roseman is bullish on the future. In-person experiences—whether for workouts, wellness, or shopping—are proving essential, and new, creative concepts continue to drive the city's vibrancy.

In this Monday Market Data Report, co-host Mark Lumpkin kicks off a brand-new series focused on amenity-driven revenue — and we're starting in Austin.Instead of just bedroom count, this episode breaks down which amenities actually move the revenue needle in Austin, how rare they are among top performers, and what kind of annual income boost they deliver.Inside the data, you'll learn:Why pickleball courts are one of the highest-ROI amenities in AustinHow much hot tubs, pools, and game rooms increase annual revenueWhich luxury amenities are still extremely underutilizedWhy some amenities pay for themselves in months, not yearsHow to combine bedroom count + amenities to maximize performanceThe data shows that Austin is not heavily amenitized, which creates massive upside for operators who do it right. Some of the highest-performing amenities appear in less than 5% of top listings, yet deliver tens of thousands of dollars in additional annual revenue.If you're investing in Austin, planning a renovation, or trying to outcompete similar listings, this episode gives you the blueprint.Want us to break down amenities in another market? DM Mark and we'll bring the data.

With hybrid work raising expectations for the office, which is now judged against the comfort and convenience of home, organizations are increasingly prioritizing better amenities and services for their workplaces. In this In Case You Missed It (ICYMI) article-read episode of I Hear Design, based on the article, "Designing Workplace Amenities: Create Experiences That Attract and Retain Talent," we explore why amenities have become a defining factor in the competition for talent and why the real differentiator isn't simply adding a coffee bar, rooftop deck, or game room, but designing the experience around it.  You'll hear a practical framework for amenity planning that goes beyond trends starting with site, climate, and infrastructure; designing around user demographics and community synergies; planning for programming, operations, and partnerships;, and clarifying design intent and functionality. Whether you're a designer, owner, or workplace leader, this episode offers actionable questions to help amenities deliver lasting value, rather than simply another box to check on your workplace offerings.

Not financing packages, not incentive packages, but the literal boxes showing up at the front door every single day, and what they're quietly telling us about resident behavior, operational risk, and capital allocation in multifamily real estate.The data comes from Greystar's 2024 design survey, specifically focused on package delivery and handling inside apartment communities. On the surface, this looks like a narrow operational topic. But as with many things in real estate, when you zoom out, it reveals something much bigger about how people live and what they value.-------------**Real Estate Espresso Podcast:** Spotify: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](https://open.spotify.com/show/3GvtwRmTq4r3es8cbw8jW0?si=c75ea506a6694ef1)   iTunes: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/the-real-estate-espresso-podcast/id1340482613)   Website: [www.victorjm.com](http://www.victorjm.com)   LinkedIn: [Victor Menasce](http://www.linkedin.com/in/vmenasce)   YouTube: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](http://www.youtube.com/@victorjmenasce6734)   Facebook: [www.facebook.com/realestateespresso](http://www.facebook.com/realestateespresso)   Email: [podcast@victorjm.com](mailto:podcast@victorjm.com)  **Y Street Capital:** Website: [www.ystreetcapital.com](http://www.ystreetcapital.com)   Facebook: [www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital](https://www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital)   Instagram: [@ystreetcapital](http://www.instagram.com/ystreetcapital)

Last week we started a mini-series on Amenities. We took a short break from the mini-series to cover a few consequential items from the World Economic Forum which is still underway in Davos. They're probably still more that we could be covering from Davos, but there are only so many things you can cover in a daily show. After all, this is not my full-time job.The deep dive into amenities is was based on the outstanding work by apartment owner and operator Greystar, the largest operator of apartments in the US with over 100,000 apartments in their portfolio. We are working with Greystar on our own active adult project in Spokane Washington.

Today, I want to talk about amenities. Not in the abstract, not as a checklist, and not as a race to add more stuff, but as a lens into tenant psychology, capital allocation, and disciplined product design.Greystar recently published their latest amenities and apartment features market study, based on year-over-year survey data from 2023 to 2024. And while it's tempting to read this kind of report as a menu of “what to add,” that's exactly the wrong way to use it.This data is not a prescription. It's a diagnostic.The folks at Greystar are the largest owner and operator of apartments across the US. So with 100,000 units in almost every state they can speak on the topic with some level of authority. -------------**Real Estate Espresso Podcast:** Spotify: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](https://open.spotify.com/show/3GvtwRmTq4r3es8cbw8jW0?si=c75ea506a6694ef1)   iTunes: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/the-real-estate-espresso-podcast/id1340482613)   Website: [www.victorjm.com](http://www.victorjm.com)   LinkedIn: [Victor Menasce](http://www.linkedin.com/in/vmenasce)   YouTube: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](http://www.youtube.com/@victorjmenasce6734)   Facebook: [www.facebook.com/realestateespresso](http://www.facebook.com/realestateespresso)   Email: [podcast@victorjm.com](mailto:podcast@victorjm.com)  **Y Street Capital:** Website: [www.ystreetcapital.com](http://www.ystreetcapital.com)   Facebook: [www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital](https://www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital)   Instagram: [@ystreetcapital](http://www.instagram.com/ystreetcapital)  

Alex Mehran Jr., CEO of a third-generation family developer, walks us through the transformation of Bishop Ranch—a master-planned community in San Ramon, CA. Mehran shares valuable lessons on reinventing a suburban office park into a vibrant, mixed-use destination. Mixed-use suburban developments are gaining strong appeal.· Amenity-rich office space drives tenant demand and retention.· Short-term, flexible leases can dovetail well with corporate occupier's needs.· Residential conversions of obsolete suburban office parks can enhance long-term asset value.· Planned communities thrive with diverse housing and retail integration.
