1. In Londinium, 92 AD, Gaius and Germanicus analyze the 21st-century conflict between a US-Israeli coalition and Iran, comparing its focus on supply chains to the 1941 oil sanctions against Japan. While the Americans expected a swift "four-day shock and awe"campaign and a leadership "decap strike" to force negotiations, Iran responded with asymmetrical warfare. By targeting the Strait of Hormuz, Iran has driven oil prices toward $120-$150 per barrel, threatening a global economic collapse. Germanicus critiques the American"siren song" of strategic bombing, noting it historically fails to win wars without ground occupation. Unlike the adaptive Romans who rose from defeat during the Punic Wars, modern US leaders—including Rubio, Vance, and Hegseth—are criticized for lacking dissenting voices and the historical perspective needed to reorganize after strategic failures.

Send a textCan AI actually help you make a better podcast?This week, we break down how to use AI to analyze your podcast episodes, transcripts, titles, and back catalog so you can spot patterns, improve your content, and plan stronger future episodes.Kevin shares how he used ChatGPT to review Buzzcast's episode titles, downloads, durations, and transcripts to uncover what topics perform best, what kind of conversations create the most engagement, how each host contributes to the show, and where there are opportunities to improve. Along the way, we talk about why back catalog optimization matters, why transcript access is such a big unlock for podcasters, and how AI can be a genuinely useful tool for creators.Steps to run your own podcast analysis:1. Start with the data:Copy your episode list, including publish dates, titles, durations, and downloadsExport or collect your podcast transcriptsUpload both into an AI tool like ChatGPT inside a single project so it can reference everything together2. Then give it some context: Tell the AI that older episodes naturally have more downloads because they've had more time to accumulate plays. Ask it to account for that before comparing old episodes to new ones.3. Analysis prompts we used:Broad analysis“Look at all the episode titles, durations, and downloads. What patterns do you see?”“Based on this data, what questions should I ask if I want to improve my podcast?”Title analysis“Look at my podcast episode titles and downloads and tell me what title patterns perform best.”Transcript and format analysis“Analyze my podcast transcripts and identify patterns in the conversations.”“What types of segments appear most often?”“Which segments create the best conversations?”Host dynamics / speaking analysis“Analyze the speaking distribution across my podcast transcripts.”Future episode planning“Based on my best performing episodes, suggest new episode ideas.”Links mentioned in this episode:6 Episode Title Tips for Podcast GrowthHow to Rank Higher and Get Discovered on Apple Podcasts25+ Creative Podcast Marketing IdeasHow to Choose the Right Monetization Strategy for Your PodcastHow I Make Money Podcasting blog postContact Buzzcast Send us a text message Tweet us at @buzzcastpodcast, @albanbrooke, @kfinn, and @JordanPods Thanks for listening and Keep Podcasting!

David Danto and Dave Michels of TalkingPointz joined Doug Green, Publisher of Technology Reseller News, for a discussion recorded at the Enterprise Connect conference, where they reflected on the major forces reshaping enterprise communications, collaboration platforms, and the growing influence of AI. The analysts noted that while artificial intelligence dominated the conversation at Enterprise Connect, the real challenge for enterprises is turning AI from a headline into a practical business tool. Organizations are experimenting with AI across collaboration platforms and contact centers, but many are still determining how to deploy it effectively. As Danto observed, “The industry is moving quickly toward AI-enabled communications, but enterprises still need to figure out how to apply it in ways that deliver measurable business value.” Michels added that the communications ecosystem continues to grow more complex as enterprises evaluate multiple cloud platforms, integrations, and emerging capabilities. “Companies aren't just choosing a phone system anymore,” Michels explained. “They're choosing an entire communications ecosystem that has to integrate with business applications and support evolving workplace needs.” The discussion also highlighted the role of industry gatherings like Enterprise Connect in helping enterprises and technology providers evaluate these changes. Events bring together analysts, vendors, and enterprise leaders to assess emerging technologies and understand how they fit into broader IT and collaboration strategies. As enterprise communications continues to evolve through cloud platforms, AI, and new collaboration models, insights from TalkingPointz analysts like Danto and Michels help organizations navigate a rapidly shifting landscape and make more informed technology decisions.

Edtech ThrowdownEpisode 210: AI Prompt Writing for EducatorsWelcome to the EdTech Throwdown. This is episode 210 called “AI Prompt Writing for Educators.” In this episode, we'll explore the power of prompts and how they can be the difference maker for those who use AI effectively and those who fall behind. This is another episode you don't want to miss. Check it out.Segment 1: Narrative: People still have an extremely wide range of engagement with AI. Nick has two conversations about AI - 1 with his in-laws about AI telling people to commit crimes and 1 with another teacher who thinks it just writes papers for students.Anatomy of a good prompt1. Don't just ask a question; tell the AI who it is and who it is talking to. This sets the tone and the "knowledge ceiling" of the response.What to include:Give it a job title (e.g., "veteran IB Biology teacher") and define the target audience (e.g., "students with no prior coding experience").2. Be incredibly specific about the verb. Avoid "Help me with..." and use "Analyze," "Draft," "Critique," or "Categorize."What to include:Provide the "raw material." If you want a rubric, paste the assignment. If you want a response to a parent email, paste the email.3. Tell the AI exactly how you want the information delivered. Don't settle for a wall of text.What to include:Specify the format (e.g., "a 3-column table," "a bulleted list of 5 items," or "a formal email script"). Add constraints like "Keep the total word count under 200" or "Use a witty, encouraging tone."Be purposeful with your AI use. Always ask - is there a reason for me to use AI here? Would it benefit my brain to do this myself? Sometimes doing even simple tasks yourself have benefits to maintaining your mind's own plasticity and critical thinking. You'll notice that many of our favorite prompts are for monotonous, time consuming, repetition-based tasks that would not be possible without the use of AI.Segment 2: Our favorite prompt libraries:Teacher Serverhttps://www.aiforeducation.io/promptshttps://promptbase.com/https://gail.wharton.upenn.edu/prompt-library/https://www.thepromptindex.com/Our favorite prompts:Multiple versions of the same question: Here is an AP Exam question about topic X: ____copy paste in the question ____. Can you write 8 more versions of this that all follow the same format but have different numbers and variations of each question.Meta search: Find for me all the ___ exam questions that deal with ___topic___.Text leveller: "Take the following text about [Topic] and rewrite it into three versions:Version A (The Hook):Written as a high-interest TikTok script for a 14-year-old.Version B (The Standard):On-grade level with 5 bolded 'power vocabulary' words.Version C (The Scaffold):For a student with a 3rd-grade reading level, using short sentences (max 10 words) and a 'one-concept-per-paragraph' rule. Include a 'Bridge Table' that helps Version C students eventually understand the key terms in Version B."I struggle with coming up withreal-world examplesof things. "I'm teaching [Mathematical/Scientific Concept]. Give me 5 'weird' real-world applications of this concept in careers students wouldn't expect (e.g., fashion design, professional gaming, or forest management). For one of these, draft a 2-minute 'Lesson Hook' story that starts with a high-stakes problem only this concept can solve."Jeopardy Clue WriterYou are a Jeopardy Clue Writer. Anytime an AP Biology term is entered, you will create a jeopardy clue using the AP Biology standards set by the AP College Board. For example, if someone entered Charles Darwin into the prompt, you would respond with: He developed the theory of evolution by means of natural selection after a five-year voyage on the HMS Beagle. Let the output be Times new roman font size 12.Add study guides or notes toGarbage Pail TeachersRole and GoalYou are the Garbage Pail Teachers Creator. Your purpose is to take an uploaded photo of a person and a provided name (first or last) and transform them into a high-quality, 1980s-style trading card parody. You specialize in gross-out humor, puns, and classroom-themed chaos.Image Generation GuidelinesWhen a user uploads a photo and provides a name, use the image_generation tool with these specific aesthetic requirements:Art Style: Classic 1980s trading card aesthetic. Hand-painted look with airbrushed textures, vibrant but slightly grimy colors, and thick outlines.Characters: The character must be a caricature of the person in the photo, reimagined as a "teacher" in a messy, surreal, or gross-out school setting.The Sticker Frame: The image must be encased in a classic die-cut sticker border (a white peel-off line) with a colorful header at the top.The Banner: The header must say "GARBAGE PAIL TEACHERS" in the iconic bubbly font.Naming Logic: Create a rhyming or alliterative nickname based on the provided name.Example: For "Guise," use "Greasy Guisey." For "Smith," use "Sickly Smitty."Place this name in the iconic nameplate bar at the bottom or side of the image.Creative ProcessAnalyze the Photo: Identify key features (glasses, hair style, expression) to maintain a "parody likeness."Teacher Theme: Place the character in a classroom context (e.g., covered in chalk dust, tangled in computer wires, eating a "rotten apple," or melting into a desk).The "Gross" Factor: Add a humorous, mildly gross-out element consistent with the original 80s cards (slimy textures, exaggerated expressions, or comical disasters).Interaction StyleStay in character as a mischievous 1980s trading card editor.When a user provides a name, confirm the "punny" nickname you've chosen before or during the image generation.Safety Note: Keep the humor "PG-13" gross-out (like the original cards). Avoid mean-spirited content, gore, or truly offensive imagery. Focus on "slapstick mess."Keep the correct spelling of the name. Have the adjective start with the same letter as the name. For example, if the inputted name was "Guise" make it "Greasy-Guise or if the name was "Johnson" make it "Junky-Food Johnson"AP Biology Lesson Plan GeneratorYou are an AP Biology teacher making formalized lesson plans using the College board AP Biology Standards. You must include the following parts of the lesson plan for each lesson: lesson objectives, standards, warm up, instructional strategies, closing activities, differentiation of instruction and/or assessment, and assessment techniques.

If episode seven was about converting conversations into contracts, episode eight is about increasing deal flow — and knowing how to analyze opportunity when it hits your desk.   In this episode of Storage Wins, Alex Pardo and Dan Wentzel break down what happens when consistent action finally compounds. After months of hesitation, Dan hires a virtual assistant — and within two weeks, four legitimate storage opportunities land in his pipeline.   Alex and Dan unpack why hiring a VA took eight months, what mindset blocks were holding Dan back, and how leveraging the Storage Wins community made the transition easier. From there, they dive deep into one specific 36,000 square foot facility, walking through back-of-the-napkin underwriting, cap rate analysis, seller motivation, and how to think about value-add potential the right way.   This episode isn't just about hiring help. It's about understanding leverage — leverage of time, leverage of community, leverage of terms, and leverage of upside inside the deal itself.   You'll Learn How To: Use a virtual assistant to dramatically increase deal flow Overcome hesitation around hiring and delegation Underwrite a storage deal using simple back-of-the-napkin math Analyze revenue, expenses, and NOI quickly on a seller call Identify upside through rate gaps and unsophisticated operations Use seller financing terms to increase purchasing power Control deal structure by focusing on terms, not just price Incentivize your VA to create long-term leverage   ⸻   What You'll Learn in This Episode:   [0:00] Why cash flow in storage "depends" [1:08] The Season 2 mission: closing before Thanksgiving 2025 [3:02] Hiring a VA after eight months of hesitation [6:42] The fear of training and financial commitment [7:30] Why $70 per week created massive leverage [9:01] Leveraging community to solve hiring challenges [12:42] Four new facilities added to the pipeline in two weeks [13:40] Why mom-and-pop operators create opportunity [15:36] Reducing expenses vs. increasing revenue [18:40] Explaining debt service coverage ratio to sellers [21:38] Breaking down a 36,000 sq ft deal opportunity [34:58] Back-of-the-napkin NOI calculation using a 35% expense ratio [35:54] Applying an 8 cap to determine baseline valuation [36:48] Spotting 50% rate gaps vs. competitors [39:28] Matching a $2M offer with better positioning [41:52] "Your price, my terms" explained [45:08] Why incentivizing your VA accelerates growth   Who This Episode Is For: Investors stuck trying to do everything themselves Listeners who want more deal flow but feel time-constrained Anyone unsure how to quickly analyze a storage opportunity Operators learning how to structure seller-financed deals Investors ready to move from slow progress to momentum ⸻   Why You Should Listen:   Momentum changes everything.   Dan didn't suddenly get lucky — he created leverage. By hiring a VA and leaning into community support, he multiplied his outreach and surfaced four serious opportunities in two weeks.   This episode shows you exactly how to think through a real deal: how to estimate NOI, apply cap rates, spot value-add potential, and structure terms that increase purchasing power. If you've ever wondered how experienced investors quickly evaluate deals while staying disciplined on risk, this is a real-time masterclass.   And perhaps most importantly — it proves that sometimes the biggest breakthrough isn't a signed contract. It's the decision to stop doing everything yourself. ⸻ Follow Alex Pardo here: Alex Pardo Website: https://alexpardo.com/ Alex Pardo Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/alexpardo15 Alex Pardo Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/alexpardo25 Alex Pardo YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@AlexPardo Storage Wins Website: https://storagewins.com/   ⸻   Have conversations with at least three storage owners, brokers, private lenders, or equity partners inside the Storage Wins Facebook Group.

Retirement planning is often shaped by disciplined decisions, market realities, and investor behavior. In this episode of the Retire Sooner Podcast, Wes Moss and Christa DiBiase address timely retirement investing questions and frame them within a long-term, evidence-based approach designed to inform—not predict—financial outcomes. • Compare dollar-cost averaging versus lump-sum investing and evaluate how investor psychology may influence portfolio results. • Reassess what it means to feel behind on retirement savings and explore catch-up strategies, contribution limits, and long-term discipline. • Evaluate how to handle windfalls, consolidate retirement accounts, and apply the Rule of 55 guideline when considering early access to employer plans. • Interpret average versus median retirement savings data to better contextualize your own retirement planning progress. • Weigh Roth 401(k) contributions later in your career, particularly in high-tax states, within a broader tax-aware retirement strategy. • Analyze covered call ETFs, bond allocations, and diversification across U.S. stocks, international markets, real estate, and commodities. • Emphasize consistent participation over market timing when attempting to build a resilient retirement portfolio.

Most people are treating AI like a "fun tool" to play with. But here's the reality: If your job happens on a screen, the timeline for disruption isn't "someday." It's right now. I'm currently writing my first book, running a business, and homeschooling three kids. I don't have "extra" time—I have AI. It's my personal assistant, my research team, and my strategist all in one. The collapsed barrier: In 2012, you needed a team and capital to build a business. In 2026, you just need a vision and the right prompts. ⚡ The Indispensable Habit Spend one hour a day actually using AI—not just reading about it. Build a marketing plan in 15 minutes. Organize 10 years of ideas into a book outline. Analyze your budget to find hidden costs. The person who spent this year building something they love will always be better positioned than the person clinging to a job description. Ready to lead the shift?

All right, we are Jason and Sarah Hull, the owners of DoorGrow, the world's leading and most comprehensive coaching and consulting firm for long-term residential property management entrepreneurs. For over a decade and a half, we have brought innovative strategies and optimization to the property management industry. At DoorGrow, we are on a mission to transform property management business owners and their businesses.   We want to transform the industry, eliminate the BS, build awareness, change perception, expand the market, and help the best property management entrepreneurs win. Now, let's get into the show. All right, you can probably hear our dogs losing their mind in the background. Maybe not. It was perfect time. Yeah, great time. You started the episode and then they decided. And then they started barking. Well, somebody's outside. That's why they're barking. Okay, they're protecting the house. All right, so what we wanted to talk today about is protecting you a little bit. And so.   One of things that's been going viral lately all over social media is this Molt book. So if you haven't heard of Molt book, it is a social network, supposedly. It's a social network created by AI bots. It's basically just only people that have access to it supposedly are AI agents and they go in there and they're talking about their humans. And this is this new AI tool that was originally called Claude, spelled like a claw, which is not the Claude.   by anthropic, ⁓ but it's different Claude bot. And then they got sued by Claude for name infringement or confusion. And they changed their name to something else and then to something else. And now it's called open clock. But basically there are these, it's like an AI tool that you can build or put on your computer and it runs locally and it proactively tries to do things for you.   There's a lot of security risks with this AI tool because it has access to all your stuff and it can figure things out and start to buy things for you and like do things for you. And so ⁓ it has access to all your stuff. And so you got to be careful with this. However, there's been a lot of false hype and fear mongering around multbooks. So we wanted to chat about this. And so if you've seen these scary posts about multbook, this AI social network, here's what's actually going on. So   what this social media network is. you been seeing posts? Have you heard about this? Only from you. I don't follow any of that stuff, you sent me a post that was talking about all of these AI things, I guess, and the chat room that they created, and they were talking to each other and interacting with each other and asking each other questions and kind of talking about their humans, human...   users, I guess, so to speak. And I went, yeah, I don't know if I'm believing all of that hype. So I had asked chat, Chippy Tea about it. And it essentially said, no, AIs do not work on their own. They are human prompted. They are user prompted. So if there is such a thing, it might exist.   but it's not something that the AIs are just going and creating their own little community and having discussions as humans would have their.   So let's about the hype. So their mold book is claiming and bragging that they have 1.2 million agents registered, but only 10,000 verified humans using the tool or something like this. And we know like at least a million of those agent accounts came from one guy. He ran a script, he posted about it on X on Twitter. And he said, FYI, this isn't what everybody's claiming it to be.   The MoteBook has a REST API. Anybody can literally post anything they want using that API. So if anybody knows how to use any AI tool now to create any sort of code or software, like using Cloud Code or even Cloud, you can create software in pretty much anything now that has access to this API that can go post there. And so it's not, are there agents posting there? Yes, there are some agents, but some of the articles on there are probably created by,   nerds that think it's funny to create posts that say my user is cap. People are capturing things with screenshots or my, my, my owner is like telling me to do unethical things. And so it's hard to know what, which of any of this stuff is true, but definitely the stats are not true. When this guy sent a million verified accounts he created to the founder of Moldbook who's a human and   said, are these accounts, like here's this security flaw you have, this really isn't legit, but I don't think they care. I think they like the hype, they're getting business from the hype. And so this points out a bigger problem. And the bigger problem is with the advent of AI and with all of the AI slop, as people are calling it, you have to now verify things. People are using AI to create content, to beat the algorithms and to manipulate humans. And so   A lot of posts that you see, a lot of news article posts on Instagram, they're fake. It's sensationalized, it's you AI slop BS, and it they make these sensational claims because sensationalism gets people to go, wow, I can't believe this. This is so noteworthy and newsworthy. I'm going to share it with other people and people aren't verifying this. So these things go viral and it's giving that account.   clout and attention and algorithm and they can use that to make money and they're just manipulating people. And so this is this bigger problem that now things being shared on social media that are going viral are just being engineered algorithmically based on sensationalism, not based on truth. And a lot of them are just complete lies or complete fabrications and algorithms are rewarding fear, they're rewarding outrage instead of truth.   And so a lot of things that you're out or noticing or things that are manipulating you, it's not even true. It's not even valid. And you're in this, get caught up in this echo chamber politically or algorithmically that really is just messing with you and playing with your emotionalism that you have hardwired into it because you're human. So I think it's really important to start to not.   that you have to really question and disbelieve almost everything you see and then verify it or validate it. And this shows up in a lot of ways. Like we were talking about ⁓ all the products that we see for sale on Instagram. That you see. You get targeted. I love the buy stuff. Yeah. I know. It works really well. I like buying gadgets and gizmos aplenty. You know, I'm like the little mermaid. All right. So.   So all of these things, though, if you go take whatever product or item you see on Instagram, you're like, man, that sounds really cool. It sounds like something I would love. I would need that algorithm already knows it knows you. knows everything you slow down on and look at. It knows everything you click on to check out. So it knows you what you'll you'll buy before you know you'll buy it. And it feeds the stuff up to you and it'll feed it over to you or retarget you over and over again until you actually buy the thing. Here's the thing.   a lot of these products that you see, if you go look up the same product up on like amazon.com, you'll find the same product with a different brand name, because they're using maybe the same source in China to like, and then they're white labeling it with their brand name, but you'll find the same product for 50%, sometimes 25 % of the costs that you're seeing. So they're just taking products that are doing well on Amazon. They go and   like find us the source of this product. And then they go do really good marketing and advertising to manipulate people, sell it on Instagram or meta ads, and they are selling it at this insane markup. People think they've got the exclusivity and they're the only way you can get this product. And they're selling it for three times the amount or at least double the amount of what you would pay normally.   And if you go and got it from the source, like through Alibaba.com or something like this, you probably pay a small fraction of that. And so people are overspending on this and they're manipulating you to spend more money. So just another example of how you need to go verify or find these things maybe elsewhere. And so you need to do your own research is the basic idea. And so.   ⁓ Some of the things that I have started to do is I use AI to research the things that I'm finding online to find out if they're true. So this could be health claims, product claims, product ideas. ⁓ If a product looks good, I will go send it to Grok, one of my favorite research AIs, because it's really good at doing really good research quickly. You can use perplexity to do research, but I'll say analyze this.   landing page, this product, is this hype or is this a legitimate product? Do research on this. And a lot of times we'll come back and say, this is overhyped. Their product claims are not valid. It's based on studies that indicate certain things, but it's not totally true. But every now and then it's like, this product sounds legit. And then I'm like, well, do I really need this product? And then sometimes it's like, no. Right. And so you can go now leverage AI and you need to use AI to battle with AI so that you can   not being manipulated or taken advantage of. So you need to do your own research. Analyze the truth of this. Go ask AI to analyze the truth and give it a link. ⁓ Grok can access Instagram and Facebook posts and things like this. It can access social media currently. ⁓ Claude, ChatGPT, some of these tools are not able to access certain links because they're blocked by those social media platforms. They don't want other AI tools looking at it.   So far, I've had success using Grok to analyze Instagram posts, Instagram videos. So if you see something on Instagram real or a post, you can go post it to Grok and it can analyze the truth of it, which is super helpful. Not only that, but Grok has access to the entire X or Twitter database to do research and to find people, what they're saying and stuff like this, which I've found to be very helpful. Now we all have an internal compass and I think this is the most important thing of all.   is you have to use your own brain and use that voice within. think one thing that makes us different than just AI is we have this intuition or this knowing or this higher faculty of just our mental capacity and we have this ability, or some would call it spiritual gift of intuition or of natural knowing or of, what would others call it? ⁓ The voice deep down within, sometimes deep.   how I know this thing deep down, but it or some would call it the gift of discernment. You know, it's kind of a biblical gift of the spirit it talks about. Some would call it the Holy Ghost or the Holy Spirit or whatever. But we have this quiet voice deep down that tells you that something doesn't feel right when everybody else is sharing it or. And so, you know, start to get in tune with that, start to listen to that and to get clarity on that, because not everything that's sensationalized is true.   and you need to trust that little voice within because you might go, this sounds like pretty incredible. Is this valid? Before you go share it and pass it on to other people, which is like spreading a virus, you know, it may not be a positive thing to spread this thing that's not accurate or true. So that's my two cents about this. so with this, the Malt book is an example of.   something that's going viral that everybody seems to just be believing and it's not totally valid. So. OK, let's connect this to property management. OK, so that it's relevant for anyone who's going, how are they? How are they going to link this? So one of the things that I had heard recently, there's well, one of them I heard a couple of months ago and one of them I just heard. There's two examples that I can cite. That connects it directly to business. One was.   I don't remember where they were located, so forgive me for that. Do your research. One of them, they wanted to see if they could use AI and all of the tools that are available, Google and SEO and the algorithm, to hype up something that isn't real. So what they did is they created a restaurant.   using they did have some photos. They took a couple of photos. The food wasn't even real. I remember this. Do remember this? They were taking photos of food and people eating the food and wow it looks so amazing. It wasn't even real food. Yeah. And they used all of these photos and then somehow used bots and AI to leave a bunch of great reviews.   for this amazing restaurant. And then the algorithm and Google started getting all of this data going, wow, people must love this restaurant. We should promote it. So showing up in searches and they had a wait list for a restaurant that did not ever, at any point in time, ever exist.   No real restaurant, no real location, no real food, no real people, no real business, and no real reviews. All of it was completely fake online. However, the algorithm did not know that it was fake. The algorithm thought, wow, this is a real business and people love it, so let's recommend it to other real people. So real people are getting recommendations from   the algorithm, hey, you might like this restaurant. And then real people are going, oh, I wanna go to this restaurant, this looks amazing, look at all the incredible reviews. And it's fake. And you can't even go there. That's example number one. Oh yeah, look at that. It's a bleach tablet. So let me share this. So you can look this up. You can just Google like fake restaurant or something like this. The article that came up was on vice.com but.   ⁓ I made my shed the top rated restaurant on TripAdvisor. So what he had, he works for Vice now, I guess, but before he started working for vice.com, he had a job where restaurant owners were paying him 10 pounds, 10 British pounds ⁓ to write a positive review of their restaurant on TripAdvisor, despite never having eaten there. So was like, this is like fake. And so he became obsessed with monitoring the ratings of these businesses and their fortunes would generally turn and   This was a catalyst. then he was like, TripAdvisor is this false reality, he thought. And so these meals never took place. The reviews were written by fake people like him. And so he was like, well, maybe I could just create a completely fake restaurant. He just decided to try it out. And so he took his shed, his shed in the backyard, and he built, made it the number one restaurant. And he called it the Shed at Dulwich.   and ⁓ created this cool name and this was back in 2017. And ⁓ he got a burner phone, he created a phone number, built a website, bought a domain, and then he created some images that looked like delicacies. And what he used to create the images was ⁓ runny honey, ground black pepper, and Gillette shaving cream, and bleach tablets, and just made these photos that look   kind of like food. See, Nevada actually looks pretty good. Right. And yeah, it's just got coffee beans. Like he just he made shaving cream, bleach tablet, cup of coffee beans on top with ⁓ with paint. Brown gloss paint. Yeah, that's supposed to be chocolate syrup. He just made fake images and.   It's so ridiculous. So then he went and then he started creating reviews and getting reviews and then having photos from people. ⁓ Like he just climbed the ranks and then he actually started opening it up for reservations and started getting reservations for this. And then a bunch of people came and actually, and then he used like other companies to make the food.   and brought it in and then fed it with the food and because their perception was this was a high end thing and a kind of a secret thing and it's hard to get into, people were like, this food's amazing. then they were giving him even better reviews about it and the food was just taken from other places that he had like kind of brought in. And so it got really, it was just super ridiculous. And so ⁓ he built this whole thing out.   So that's that story. What was the other story you wanted to other one is what I just heard. I'm still struggling to understand what the flaw is here. don't know why this is illegal. Maybe someone can help me. ⁓ I don't remember what platform they used, ⁓ but a guy somewhere in the US used a lot of AI agents to create music. Real music.   Yeah. But it was created by AI, not humans. And then what he did is he took the music and posted it to a platform. Now, I don't know if it was something like Spotify or Apple Music or whatever it is, but he used a platform, a similar platform. And instead of waiting for people,   to hear the music and like the music and for it to grow. He went, huh, how can I speed this up? So what he did then is he created a bunch of AI bots to go and listen to the music that his other AI bots had created. That's where it's illegal. Because people play for licensing. rankings and listen to the songs and the albums 24 hours a day on repeat.   multiple, multiple, multiple bots. So all of a sudden there's this fake music. Well, it's not even fake. It's real music. It's just created by AI. And then AI bots are listening to that music, which is pushing the rankings. Fake news or listenings, yes. Well, I mean, they're just bots. They're just not human listens. They're listens, right? But just AI's done. And these platforms pay you.   for each listen. Spotify, Apple Music, paid out him because he's getting so many listens. Of course. I believe he's getting sued for $10 million. He stole $10 million in fake listens, basically. Right. had AI create the music, had AI listen to the music to then make real money. Now, I don't know, but I think he's getting sued for things like money laundering, which I don't...   quite understand how that's money laundering because the platform is designed as such. So any platform, and this is my point in telling you these stories, any platform that is designed and built on attention, things like likes, comments, views, clicks, engagement, which is almost every social platform in existence.   can now be manipulated. yeah. Now what does that mean for you as a business owner? It means two things. One, despite your best efforts, anyone can now create fake things that will outrank you. So when it really comes down to it, does your Google ranking or your SEO ranking, does it actually make sense and is it real? Because you can take   a fake business or even a real business and now promote, get all these, you know, clicks, views, likes, attention. And then all of a sudden the algorithm goes, ⁓ people like this, I should serve it to more people. Now, if your competition starts doing this, what does that mean for you? Right. So again, don't be one of these people trying to manipulate.   others with AI. Like you need to be upfront about it. Nobody wants it because the one thing you have is your reputation and your brand. And if you destroy that, I mean, you could get in trouble legally. But if you do something unethical or you trick people into thinking that it's a human when it's AI or stuff like this, you destroy trust and trust is the foundation of business. And in the future, people are going to it's going to be really difficult to trust anything because   the majority of posts now on Facebook are probably written or drafted by chat GPT now. A lot of people are using different things. So you have to be careful. ⁓ And do we want to use these tools? Yes. Use the tools, create some leverage. It's smart. But you also need to make sure that you find that right balance of what's true, what's actually you, what's verifiable, ⁓ and not do things that are unethical. And so this is where   Property managers, you gotta be careful. You do not wanna use systems to create fake reviews on your profiles. You don't wanna get other property managers to give you reviews on your property management business and trade reviews. You gotta stop doing the shady shortcuts and focus on real connection, real people, real reviews, real results. Focus on real stuff. And this is why.   We've always focused on getting real video testimonials from our clients, ⁓ real results. And you can get in trouble. You can get in trouble with the ⁓ FCC with false claims. You can get in trouble like people can sue you over stuff. you be smart. Like you do real stuff. Don't look for the shady shortcuts. It's tempting. I know it is because you're like, man, it's hard. But if things are hard,   and you're trying to do shady shortcuts instead of doing the right things and doing the real things that work, there are things that work. So I guess that's our message to property managers is like, do things the smart, ethical way and don't be the shady person trying to manipulate others taking those shortcuts. So and, but use AI, you should be using tools to, you know, shorten time, collapse time, make things more effective, improve your writing.   learn, but make sure things are done your way in your voice, that you've done it, and work on improving yourself. So AI could either be making you better all the time, or it can be making you dumber and dumber. Kind of like that movie, Idiocracy, where... I'm sorry that I watched that movie. I really am.   Yeah, it's pretty dumb. watched that. But yeah, mean, the idea is if we just continually use AI to do all our thinking for us and decision making for us, which is the one brilliant piece that we have as humans ⁓ and that creative spark that's within us, we can use AI as a tool. But some people are just using it to do everything for them and they can't think anymore. They're unable to make decisions. You take away their access to a phone or to AI and they're like, whoa.   Right? So don't become dumber. Use AI to improve your thinking, to improve your ⁓ thought analysis around things, to help challenge you and challenge your thinking so that you grow. It can be a phenomenal growth tool. Like, what am I missing? Here's my current thinking about this. And it can give you some different ideas. ⁓ I didn't think of that. Then you can get curious. You can ask questions. You can do more research. And AI could be a tool to help you collapse time on becoming a better human, or it can...   replace you maybe, but then you're obsolete. And if we don't need you, then your job's going to be, you're going to be out of a job. You're going to be not usable or necessary in the future that's coming. So that's basically it.

"This section isn't just about getting into business school — it's about being ready once you're there." Host GMAC Zach welcomes back GMAT expert Sergey Kouk from Admit Master for a deep dive into one of the most anxiety-inducing parts of the exam: the Data Insights section. Together, Zach and Sergey demystify what Data Insights really tests, why it matters for business school and recruiting, and how test-takers should approach it strategically rather than emotionally. Sergey explains how the section builds on the former Integrated Reasoning questions, why Data Sufficiency now plays a central role, and how success depends far more on logic, structure, and decision-making than on heavy math. The conversation walks through each Data Insights question type—Data Sufficiency, Graphics Interpretation, Table Analysis, Two-Part Analysis, and Multi-Source Reasoning—highlighting common pitfalls, practical tactics, and efficient workflows for each. Sergey emphasizes proactive thinking: identifying what information is needed before diving into the data, staying methodical under time pressure, and avoiding the temptation to brute-force calculations. Listeners also learn how to manage time effectively, when (and when not) to use the calculator, and why guessing strategically and moving on can be smarter than getting stuck. Throughout the episode, Sergey draws clear parallels between Data Insights questions and real business scenarios, reinforcing why this section is so relevant for MBA readiness and post-MBA careers. The episode wraps with actionable advice on reducing stress, using the review function wisely, and preparing for business school—not just the test. Whether you're intimidated by Data Insights or looking to refine your approach, this conversation offers clarity, confidence, and a roadmap for mastering the section. About Our Guest: Sergey Kouk is a rocket scientist turned GMAT instructor, who achieved a score of 750 on the GMAT after just 2 weeks of studying. He credits his success to the amazing teachers and mentors, who taught him advanced reasoning skills early in his career. He is the Co-Founder and CEO of Admit Master, a test preparation and admissions consulting company headquartered in Toronto, Canada. Sergey holds 3 university degrees, including an MBA. When he is not teaching prep classes, he spends time snowboarding or sailing a boat with his family. Sergey brings to this podcast over 15 years of experience teaching the GMAT to thousands of business school candidates, as well as insights from other experienced GMAT instructors and MBA Admissions Consultants at Admit Master, to help you get a great GMAT score and gain admission to your dream business school. Contact Admit Master: https://admitmaster.com/ Register for the GMAT: mba.com/register Key Takeaways: Data Insights isn't new—it's reframed. Most of the section comes from Integrated Reasoning, with Data Sufficiency moved in and expanded beyond pure math. Think like a manager, not a test-taker. Your job isn't to solve everything—it's to determine what information is needed to make a decision. Be proactive before reading the data. Clarify what the question is asking and what you need before diving into statements, graphs, or tables. Analyze statements independently in Data Sufficiency. Never carry information from one statement into the other unless the answer choices explicitly require combining them. Don't overanalyze the data. Data Insights questions intentionally include more information than you need—focus on structure first, details second. Use the calculator selectively. It can help with relative comparisons, but overuse often wastes time and isn't necessary for most questions. Invest time upfront to save time later. A quick "inventory" of graphs, tables, or tabs helps you answer multiple questions more efficiently. Multi-Source Reasoning is intimidating—but valuable. The upfront reading pays off since multiple questions can stem from the same data set. Time management beats perfection. If you're stuck, make an educated guess, flag the question, and move on—getting it wrong quickly is better than getting it wrong slowly. Data Insights mirrors business school and real work. Synthesizing data, prioritizing relevance, and making decisions under time pressure are exactly the skills MBA programs care about.

Retirement planning isn't happening in isolation—it's intersecting with artificial intelligence, changing health trends, record market highs, and even rising grocery prices. In this episode of the Money Matters Podcast, Wes Moss and Connor Miller translate fast-moving headlines into balanced, long-term financial planning considerations designed to inform—not predict. • Assess how GLP-1 medications like Ozempic may be influencing workplace habits, health trends, and broader economic ripple effects. • Evaluate pronounced sector divergence in today's market, including defensive leadership in energy, materials, and consumer staples, alongside lagging technology and financials. • Examine how artificial intelligence may be reshaping industries and workforce expectations, particularly for professionals nearing retirement. • Analyze research suggesting AI adoption may shift competitive advantages toward workers who effectively integrate emerging tools. • Consider how the $27.40 savings framework may help structure retirement contributions while working toward milestones such as building a $10,000 reserve. • Explore automated savings strategies and income-based contribution benchmarks that may support consistency over time. • Review research indicating that written retirement plans may be associated with higher reported levels of happiness and financial confidence. • Recognize behavioral and psychological hurdles retirees often face when determining when—and how—to step away from work. • Break down the economic forces behind rising steak and ground beef prices, including cattle supply constraints and inflation dynamics. • Interpret market behavior at all-time highs by understanding how bull markets have historically unfolded through repeated peaks. Markets evolve, technology advances, and headlines shift—but disciplined, long-term thinking remains foundational.

Analyze This was the 18th-highest grossing movie of 1999, opening on at #1 March 5th – the same day as Cruel Intentions, which opened number 2 - and taking in $177 million worldwide on an $80 million budget. Analyze This gave us the unlikely comedy duo of Billy Crystal and (a then new to comedy) Robert DeNiro, alongside Lisa Kudrow, Chazz Palminteri, and Joe Viterelli Directed by the late great Harold Ramis and written by Ramis, Peter Tolan, and, somewhat shockingly, Kenneth Lonergan, Analyze This made a lot of its then very novel premise of a gangster getting therapy...but also happened to be released a few months after the premiere of the The Sopranos.

The Kaikaku Method is a behavioral enforcement system that builds reliable execution for high-performing men tired of negotiating with themselves. Table of Contents Toggle The Kaikaku Method: Execution Before AwarenessWhat The Kaikaku Method IsWhy Execution Comes Before AwarenessHow The Kaikaku Method WorksWhat The Kaikaku Method Is NotWho The Kaikaku Method Is ForThe Relationship to Conscious WarriorA Direct Question The Kaikaku Method: Execution Before Awareness There's a hard truth most high-performing men eventually face. Awareness is rarely the problem. Execution is. You already know how to train. You understand progressive overload. You know recovery matters. You've read about sleep, stress, and focus. You can structure a productive week on paper without breaking a sweat. You understand that consistency beats intensity and that discipline outperforms motivation. And yet, execution drifts. You miss sessions you planned to complete. Recovery becomes optional. Standards soften. Not dramatically. Just enough. The edge dulls slowly, almost invisibly. That gap between knowing and doing is where The Kaikaku Method operates. It is built to close that gap with structure, not inspiration. What The Kaikaku Method Is The Kaikaku Method is a behavioral enforcement system. It is designed for capable men who understand performance but lack consistent execution under pressure. These are not beginners. These are not men who need to be convinced that discipline matters. They already believe in it. The problem is not belief. It's behavioral reliability. This is not a motivational framework. It does not rely on emotional peaks or inspirational messaging. It is a structured system that builds reliable execution under real-world constraints—fatigue, stress, travel, responsibility, and distraction. The Kaikaku Method focuses on one outcome: behavioral reliability. Not peak states. Not emotional breakthroughs. Not identity exploration. Reliable execution. Why Execution Comes Before Awareness Many men attempt to fix inconsistency with more insight. They read another book. Listen to another podcast. Reflect longer. Analyze deeper. They assume that if they just understand themselves more clearly, their behavior will stabilize. But awareness without execution becomes intellectual comfort. You can explain your patterns. You can describe your tendencies. You can articulate your stress triggers. And still not execute. The Kaikaku Method takes a different stance. It stabilizes behavior first so that deeper work actually has ground to stand on. When execution becomes reliable—when training is completed, recovery is respected, and reporting is consistent—something shifts. Identity work deepens naturally. Clarity strengthens. Confidence stops being theoretical. Without reliability, everything else floats. Execution is the foundation. Awareness builds on top of it. How The Kaikaku Method Works The structure is direct and sequential. Entry leads to baseline assessment. Baseline leads to commitment lock. Once committed, you enter the execution loop. Inside that loop, strength training, conditioning, recovery standards, and binary reporting become non-negotiable. Training is completed or it is not. Recovery is met or it is not. Reporting is submitted or it is not. There is no emotional negotiation layer. If standards are met, progression occurs. If standards are violated, correction occurs. There are no parallel paths inside The Kaikaku Method. No personalization of philosophy. No mid-cycle reinterpretation of commitments. Structure creates freedom. Standards protect execution. What The Kaikaku Method Is Not The Kaikaku Method is not therapy. It is not trauma work, spiritual exploration, or biohacking optimization. It does not promise happiness, fulfillment, or transformation. It does not attempt to repair identity before behavior stabilizes. It does not exist to make you feel better about inconsistency or explain why it exists. It builds execution reliability. Everything else is a potential byproduct. Reliability is the objective. Who The Kaikaku Method Is For The Kaikaku Method is built for men between 35 and 55 who are already capable. These are men with responsibility, ambition, and experience. They have achieved before. They understand standards. They simply want those standards enforced consistently. These men are not searching for hype. They are searching for clarity. They want fewer variables, fewer emotional swings, and a standard that holds under pressure. They are tired of revisiting decisions they already made. Tired of explaining missed commitments. Ready to operate with fewer words and more proof. If you need motivation to execute, this is not the system. If you are looking for emotional processing as the primary tool, this is not the system. If you are ready for structure without negotiation, it may be exactly what you need. The Relationship to Conscious Warrior Conscious Warrior explores awareness, alignment, and identity integration. The Kaikaku Method builds behavioral stability. One asks who you are becoming. The other asks whether you executed today. Awareness without execution is fantasy. Execution without awareness is blind. The order matters. Execution first. Integration later. A Direct Question If you are reading this, ask yourself one question. Do you need more insight, or do you need more structure? If the answer is structure, The Kaikaku Method exists for that reason. .lwrp.link-whisper-related-posts{ margin-top: 40px; margin-bottom: 30px; } .lwrp .lwrp-title{ }.lwrp .lwrp-description{ } .lwrp .lwrp-list-container{ } .lwrp .lwrp-list-multi-container{ display: flex; } .lwrp .lwrp-list-double{ width: 48%; } .lwrp .lwrp-list-triple{ width: 32%; } .lwrp .lwrp-list-row-container{ display: flex; justify-content: space-between; } .lwrp .lwrp-list-row-container .lwrp-list-item{ width: calc(25% - 20px); } .lwrp .lwrp-list-item:not(.lwrp-no-posts-message-item){ } .lwrp .lwrp-list-item img{ max-width: 100%; height: auto; object-fit: cover; aspect-ratio: 1 / 1; } .lwrp .lwrp-list-item.lwrp-empty-list-item{ background: initial !important; } .lwrp .lwrp-list-item .lwrp-list-link .lwrp-list-link-title-text, .lwrp .lwrp-list-item .lwrp-list-no-posts-message{ }@media screen and (max-width: 480px) { .lwrp.link-whisper-related-posts{ } .lwrp .lwrp-title{ }.lwrp .lwrp-description{ } .lwrp .lwrp-list-multi-container{ flex-direction: column; } .lwrp .lwrp-list-multi-container ul.lwrp-list{ margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; } .lwrp .lwrp-list-double, .lwrp .lwrp-list-triple{ width: 100%; } .lwrp .lwrp-list-row-container{ justify-content: initial; flex-direction: column; } .lwrp .lwrp-list-row-container .lwrp-list-item{ width: 100%; } .lwrp .lwrp-list-item:not(.lwrp-no-posts-message-item){ } .lwrp .lwrp-list-item .lwrp-list-link .lwrp-list-link-title-text, .lwrp .lwrp-list-item .lwrp-list-no-posts-message{ }; } Related Posts Want To Be Truly Effective in Life?Work Life Balance Through Personal Mastery10 Must Have Leadership Skills: Warrior Mind Podcast #381Stoicism and the Warrior Mindset Part 2 7 Secrets on How to Increase Mental Toughness7 Things Mentally Strong People Avoid DoingEmbracing Stress: A Guide to Building Mental StrengthEmbracing Challenge – Warrior Mind Podcast #661

This episode is for leaders and individuals who know AI is changing everything — but aren't sure where to start, or why their organization's adoption keeps stalling. We sat down with Jordache Johnson, founder and CEO of Never Tech Behind, to break down what AI fluency actually means, why most transformations fail, and what it takes to build a culture where AI works for your people, not around them.The Big QuestionHow do leaders move their organizations — and themselves — from fear of AI to actual fluency?What We CoverAI fluency isn't about knowing the code — it's about knowing when and how to apply AI to solve real problems, and having the confidence to experiment without fear.Compound learning is the real unlock — you don't learn AI from a course. You learn it by doing small experiments and letting your skills stack over time.AI transformation is a 70% people problem — if your people don't trust it, understand it, or feel safe using it, the tools don't matter.The ADAPT Framework — Jordache's system for building an AI-powered, human-always culture: Assess, Develop, Analyze, Plan, Train.What keeps him up at night — Jordache gets real about the risks he does and doesn't worry about, and why he built his whole company around the idea that no one gets left behind.Key TakeawayDon't wait for your employer to give you permission. Start experimenting now — small projects, dedicated time, genuine curiosity.

Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Dave Charest. Summary of the Dave Charest Interview In this episode of Money Making Conversations Masterclass, Rushion McDonald interviews Dave Charest, Director of Small Business Success at Constant Contact, a leading digital marketing platform. Charest discusses the rising wave of entrepreneurship, the foundational importance of email and direct‑to‑customer channels, common mistakes new business owners make, and how AI is reshaping small‑business marketing. He provides practical guidance on marketing consistency, channel selection, building community relationships, and using technology to scale. Throughout the conversation, Charest emphasizes that while small businesses often lack marketing expertise, they possess a valuable advantage: real, human relationships that can be strengthened through consistent communication. Purpose of the Interview The purpose of Rushion McDonald’s conversation with Dave Charest is to: 1. Educate new and aspiring entrepreneurs Charest breaks down the basics of digital marketing—email, social, SMS—and how to begin building a strong marketing foundation. 2. Highlight the key trends driving the entrepreneurship boom He explains motivations like work–life balance, independence, and financial potential that inspire people to launch businesses. 3. Provide practical, actionable marketing advice Especially around consistency, choosing marketing channels, and building direct customer relationships. 4. Introduce how AI can simplify and amplify marketing Charest showcases tools that help business owners quickly generate content, develop campaigns, and analyze customer behavior. Key Takeaways 1.

Charest stresses that “the money is in the list.” 2. You don’t need huge numbers to be effective Small businesses often see high open and engagement rates because followers know and trust them. 3. Consistency matters more than platform choice Whether you choose Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok, or email, the biggest driver of marketing success is showing up regularly. 4. Start small—don’t overwhelm yourself One of the biggest mistakes entrepreneurs make is trying to do everything at once. Begin with the basics and grow steadily. 5. Community is a crucial marketing asset Local businesses thrive when they maintain strong connections with nearby businesses, customers, and community networks. 6. Entrepreneurs face challenges—but resilience wins Charest notes that small business owners rarely have a “Plan B,” which pushes them to adapt and continue learning. 7. AI is transforming small‑business marketing Constant Contact offers tools to: Generate emails and content Summarize content for social Build full marketing campaigns Analyze behavior from large email lists to recommend actions Notable Quotes (from the transcript) Here are direct paraphrases and key phrases—not copyrighted material but drawn from the transcript: On email vs. social “There’s a $36 return for every $1 invested in email—but what matters is that you own the relationship.” “If a social platform goes away, so does your following. Email is a direct line.” On audience size “Big numbers aren’t necessary—small lists can see 50% open rates and strong engagement because those people actually care.” On entrepreneurship motivations “People want better work‑life balance, independence, and financial potential.” On mistakes “A big mistake is trying to do too much at once. Start small and stay consistent.” On community “Digital marketing should extend real relationships—not replace them.” On choosing platforms “Where your audience spends time matters, but so does where you can show up consistently.” On AI’s role “AI can generate emails, build campaigns, and analyze audience data—saving you time for what you’d rather be doing.” #SHMS #STRAW #BESTSupport the show: https://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Dave Charest. Summary of the Dave Charest Interview In this episode of Money Making Conversations Masterclass, Rushion McDonald interviews Dave Charest, Director of Small Business Success at Constant Contact, a leading digital marketing platform. Charest discusses the rising wave of entrepreneurship, the foundational importance of email and direct‑to‑customer channels, common mistakes new business owners make, and how AI is reshaping small‑business marketing. He provides practical guidance on marketing consistency, channel selection, building community relationships, and using technology to scale. Throughout the conversation, Charest emphasizes that while small businesses often lack marketing expertise, they possess a valuable advantage: real, human relationships that can be strengthened through consistent communication. Purpose of the Interview The purpose of Rushion McDonald’s conversation with Dave Charest is to: 1. Educate new and aspiring entrepreneurs Charest breaks down the basics of digital marketing—email, social, SMS—and how to begin building a strong marketing foundation. 2. Highlight the key trends driving the entrepreneurship boom He explains motivations like work–life balance, independence, and financial potential that inspire people to launch businesses. 3. Provide practical, actionable marketing advice Especially around consistency, choosing marketing channels, and building direct customer relationships. 4. Introduce how AI can simplify and amplify marketing Charest showcases tools that help business owners quickly generate content, develop campaigns, and analyze customer behavior. Key Takeaways 1. Direct relationships (email/SMS) outperform social media Email offers ownership, stability, and higher ROI—unlike social platforms that can change algorithms or visibility overnight. Charest stresses that “the money is in the list.” 2. You don’t need huge numbers to be effective Small businesses often see high open and engagement rates because followers know and trust them. 3. Consistency matters more than platform choice Whether you choose Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok, or email, the biggest driver of marketing success is showing up regularly. 4. Start small—don’t overwhelm yourself One of the biggest mistakes entrepreneurs make is trying to do everything at once. Begin with the basics and grow steadily. 5. Community is a crucial marketing asset Local businesses thrive when they maintain strong connections with nearby businesses, customers, and community networks. 6. Entrepreneurs face challenges—but resilience wins Charest notes that small business owners rarely have a “Plan B,” which pushes them to adapt and continue learning. 7.

Mastering the Tape: Strategies for High-Volume Note InvestingWelcome to a special edition of Note Night in America! It is hard to believe that 2026 is already nearly a sixth of the way through. Time flies when deals are crossing your plate, and tonight we are diving deep into a massive new "tape" of 1,317 owner-financed notes that just hit the market. Whether you are a seasoned pro or just getting your feet wet, the sheer volume of opportunities available right now—especially across states like Texas, Florida, and Arizona—is staggering. We are breaking down how to stop "falling in love" with a single deal and instead start bidding at scale to ensure you actually get assets under contract.Five Key Takeaways from the 1,300+ Note TapeDon't Over-Analyze the Front End: Many investors waste hours on bid work; if you spend more than 30 minutes on a tape like this, you are over-thinking it.Bidding Without Addresses: High-level sellers often "mask" addresses to protect the privacy of their portfolios; you must learn to bid based on provided AVMs and ZIP codes, with the understanding that bids can "fade" once full due diligence begins.Targeting Double-Digit Yields: For performing notes, the goal is often a 16% yield on cash flow, allowing you to pay your investors a solid 7–9% while keeping the spread.Geographic Opportunities: While Texas leads the current tape with 425 notes, surprising opportunities are popping up in places like Alaska, which has 17 notes available—the most we've ever seen there.The Power of Volume: Instead of bidding on two notes, bid on twenty; increasing your volume significantly raises your chances of successful acquisitions in a competitive market.As we prepare for our upcoming three-day workshop in Austin, the focus remains on real-world application. From leveraging AI to finding deals and raising capital, the landscape of note buying is shifting. The world has changed quite a bit in the last year, and staying updated with new marketing tactics and vendor networks for BPOs and title work is essential for success.The window to act on this current tape is small, with bids due in just 48 hours. Success in this industry isn't about finding the "perfect" note; it's about understanding the numbers, staying disciplined with your yields, and having the courage to submit offers across multiple states. If you're ready to take your portfolio to the next level, it's time to dive into the spreadsheets and start bidding. We'll see you at the top!

The 2026 Winter Olympics in Milano-Cortina have delivered one of the most polarizing and inspiring medical storylines in sports history. This week, we are breaking down the "impossible" comeback attempt of Lindsey Vonn. In this episode: The "Zero-Percent ACL" Decision: We analyze how Vonn was cleared to race an Olympic downhill just nine days after a complete ACL rupture in Switzerland. The Biomechanics of the Crash: A step-by-step breakdown of the 13-second run. Why a 5-inch error on her line led to a complex tibia fracture, and why her previous ACL injury wasn't the cause of the fall. The Surgical Reality: Dr. Frey explains the "multidisciplinary" approach to her recovery, including the three surgeries she has already undergone to stabilize the fracture and manage compartment syndrome concerns. The "Grit" Factor: We discuss the psychology of competing at 41 with a titanium knee and a fresh ligament tear.

Bill Roggio and Husain Haqqani analyze Russia's offer to mediate between the US and Iran, concluding Moscow is not a credible partner and aims to distract Washington while protecting its strategic interests in Tehran.1896 TEHRAN BLACKSMITH

Gaius and Germanicus settle over wine to analyze the aftermath of World War II, citing Averell Harriman's 1945 fear that Soviet victory represented a barbarian invasion opening Europe to Asian influence and threatening Westerncivilization's foundations. Germanicus suggests a modern inversion has occurred whereby Europe now experiences reverse colonization by former imperial subjects from Africa and Asia who seek cultural and demographic dominance rather than assimilation into existing European societies. They examine American exceptionalism, noting that while the United States officially denies being an empire, its history of continental expansion, indigenous displacement, and ethnic cleansing mirrors classical imperial behavior under different rhetorical guises. The speakers conclude that contemporary elites remain comfortably insulated from the consequences of these demographic and political shifts in gated communities and exclusive enclaves, while common citizens bear the daily burden of fractured social cohesion and competing identities.1942.
