Podcasts about as jake

Jake's sleep was severely disrupted when the COVID pandemic forced him to work from home. He soon found himself working at all hours and during weekends. When he took a vacation he found it really hard to get any sleep at all and this led to a lot of sleep-related research, a lot of anxiety, and a lot of worry. As Jake learned more about sleep and insomnia he started to implement evidence-based techniques to help build sleep drive, strengthen his body clock, and weaken arousal. He started to spend less time in bed, he got out of bed during the night if being in bed didn't feel good, and — perhaps most importantly of all — he tried to live the kind of life he wanted to live during the day, independently of how he slept. Now, Jake's life doesn't revolve around sleep and he no longer tries to control sleep or put effort into sleep. As a result, he is sleeping a lot better and has regained confidence in his natural ability to sleep.

His family was on a rare vacation, taking a trip from Chicago to New York City to visit his mom's parents. It was the four of them, Jake, his little sister, Sarah, his father, Edward, and his mother, Karen, all jammed into a 12-year-old Volvo wagon. Jake remembered when his father, during breakfast a few days ago, could barely contain his excitement. “Kids, I was looking over my papers last night,” he said, pointing to a huge stack of papers that he poured over every moment that he wasn't driving, “and I found something exciting!” He looked wide-eyed at both of his children. Sara was using all of her concentration to draw on a coloring page that doubled as the kid's menu so Edward focused on his 11-year-old son. “Jake, how would you like to look for some witches!” Jake was swept away with his dad's excitement. They dropped the others off at his grandfather's house and jumped back on the road to a small town in New York called Stones Creek. Jake wondered what they needed to hunt witches. Do we need garlic or maybe silver bullets? What Jake didn't know, and soon found out, was the only things they needed was the local library and long walks in an old graveyard across the street from the Grinning Cat Inn, the bed and breakfast at which they would be staying. Jake was bored. He sighed, louder this time. “I heard you the first time.”, his dad said, without looking up from the papers he copied from the library. When he finished the page, he finally looked at Jake, removing his unlit pipe from his mouth and pointed at Jake with it. “Why don't you go outside and play?” he said, gesturing to the door with his pipe. “But, dad, I'm bored… ” Jake said, his shoulders slumping forward. “Look, once I get through these pages, we can take a walk. You can either go outside and play until then or sit there quietly and read a book.” His dad gave him one last stern look before turning his attention back to his stack of papers. ‘Read a book?' Jake thought. ‘Why is it always books with him?' Jake didn't want books, he wanted fun and adventure. Suppressing another sigh, he turned his attention back to the window. He was surprised to see a car on the road. He had only seen one other car all day. He was even more surprised, and excited, to see that car start to slow down. “Dad, dad, dad,” Jake said quickly, as he had always done when he grew excited. “There is a car turning into the parking lot.” “Really? That's interesting,” his dad mumbled. Jake watched intently as the car glided to a stop in front of the inn. The driver, a huge, bulky man, got out and opened the rear door. A well-dressed man stepped out of the backseat of the car, quickly followed by a young boy who looked around Jake's age. “Dad, dad, dad, dad…” Jake said getting louder with each word. “They have a kid. Can I go down and meet him? Come on, dad… Can I?” Jack started jumping back and forth from one foot to the other. “Okay, hang on,” his dad said, taking off his glasses and rubbing the bridge of his nose. “Alright, I guess I'm done here for now. I don't want you scaring the poor child with your… enthusiasm.” Edward set the stack of papers aside, “Let's go downstairs and greet the new arrivals.” The door to the Grinning Cat Inn flew open and the large man entered. He scanned the room before stepping aside, allowing the well-dressed man to enter. The reception room was lined with cedar panels and had a counter that ran along one wall. A large staircase, leading up, was right across from the front door. Two other doorways lead to a dining room and a large den with a roaring fire in the fireplace. Upon hearing the door, the owner of the inn, Mr. Jarvison, a tall, thin elderly man, moved to the counter. Good evening, how may I help you?” asked Mr. Jarvison. The well-dressed man walked over to the counter and, with a thick Slavic accent, said “I am Count Dmitry Romanova, I have reservation for two rooms.” “Yes, of course, your rooms are ready, mister… How should I address you?” Mr. Jarvison's asked. “Please, you may call me Count Romanova,” said the Count. “The title is largely symbolic at this point but,” he shrugged, “we do have our protocols.” “Yes, sir, I will show you to your rooms,” Mr. Jarvison said, half bowing. Count Romanova waved him off. “Ivan, my…. manservant, will look to the rooms and luggage. I wish to relax by the fire,” he said, pointing towards the den. He then looked at Ivan, who nodded and gestured at Mr. Jarvison to lead the way up the stairs. The Count turned towards the door and called out, “Come, Nikolai, let's rest before dinner.” A small-framed child, around ten years old, entered the inn. He silently followed his father into the den. Edward and Jake had to press themselves against the wall to allow Ivan to pass them on the stairway. Jake stared at the large man, shocked at the sheer size of him. Ivan stopped and turned, glaring at Jake, who quickly turned and ran to catch up with his father. Twenty minutes later, Jake was standing outside with Nikolai, trying to find a way to end the awkward silence that hung over them. It took his dad a few minutes to convince the Count to allow his son outside to play and now Jake was wishing that his father had failed. “So, uh…” Jake said. “Do you like to play ball?” “Sorry, I do not know this game, ball,” Nikolai replied, in broken English. “No, ball is not a game… Well, it's part of a game,” Jake thought that over for a few seconds. “Never mind, do you want to play… hide and seek?” Jake said, hopefully. “Hide and seek? What do we hide?” Nikolai asked. “No,” Jake said, frustrated, “You go hide and I try to find you.” Nikolai asked, “We are to be friends, correct?” Jake nodded. “Then why would I hide from you?” Nikolai asked. “Friends should trust each other and not need to hide.” “Huh, I never thought of it that way,” Jake said. “Okay, well... uh… we could…” Jake was stumped. He racked his brain for something to do and his face lit up when he finally thought of something that no kid could resist. “Do you want to see something scary?” Jake teased, with a big grin. The young foreign boy nodded slowly. Edward leaned forward on the overstuffed chair, tapping his pipe on the stone of the fireplace and sweeping the ashes into the fire. “What brings you to this little corner of nowhere, Count?” Edward asked, leaning back and refilling his pipe. He looked apologetically at Mr. Jarvison, “Sorry, no offense.” “None taken, this is a small town, very small,” Mr. Jarvison agreed. The Count took another puff on his cigar and slowly let the smoke escape his mouth, “I came to America on a diplomatic trip but I wanted to take some time to visit relatives.” Mr. Jarvison sat up, beaming, “You have relations living here?” Count Romanova slowly shook his head, “Living? No, sorry, I used the wrong word. I have… ” he waved his hand in the air causing ash to fall onto the arm of his chair, “ancestors here, in cemetery.” He pointed toward the graveyard. Jake led Nikolai across the street and into the old graveyard. They walked through the old gravestones, many of which were so weathered that you couldn't read the words engraved upon them. Jake spent many hours here the last few days walking the overgrown paths between the graves with his father. This place held little interest for Jake except for an ancient crypt that they were now approaching. It was a small stone building with vines growing up the walls towards the tiled roof. The most striking feature of this building was that along each wall there were a pair of statues that looked like they were emerging out of the stone surface. Each statue was of a creature with a bald head, pointy ears, and a mouth with razor-sharp teeth. His dad said they were ghouls, undead creatures that feast on the flesh of the living. “What do you think?” Jake asked as they approached the crypt. He snuck a sideways glance, hoping to have scared the other boy but, instead, he looked amazed. The smaller boy slowly walked around the building, admiring each statue in turn. He then walked along each wall, running his hand along the stone surface as he went. Nikolai turned to Jake and asked, “Where is the door?” “Yeah, my dad wondered the same thing, weird, huh?” Jake replied. Nikolai continued to walk around the building, examining each wall as he went. He finally stopped and waved at Jake, pointing at a brick in the wall. Jake walked over and bent close to discover that there were drawings etched into this brick, drawings his dad would have called runes. The more he looked, the more they seemed to shimmer. He began tracing them with his finger and he swore he felt them start to grow hot. Jake took a step back to ask Nikolai if he had spotted any other bricks like this when his head started to buzz. The buzzing turned into a voice, deep inside his head. The voice began whispering six words over and over again. Six words that he did not understand. These words got louder and louder until they finally burst from his lips in a booming voice. “Custos secreta, praedo malum, aperire ostium,” Jake was unable to stop himself from chanting. “Custos secreta, praedo malum, aperire ostium,” Jake heard a low hum coming from the wall in front of him. “Custos secreta, praedo malum, aperire ostium,” The runes started to glow brightly. “Custos secreta, praedo malum, aperire ostium!” Jake's voice roared and the wall opened. The Count tossed the remains of his cigar into the fireplace and looked over at Edward, “What brings you here?” Edward leaned forward excitedly as if he has been waiting to answer that question all evening, “Well, in my day job, I am a history professor at the University of Chicago but my real passion is writing about the occult, magic, and the supernatural.” He took a puff off of his pipe and continued. “I was researching the Salem witch trials, trying to see if I could bring anything new to the table, when I uncovered a series of correspondence between two sisters, both witches. One, sadly, was convicted of witchcraft and perished in Salem,” he shook his head, “the other one wrote about her coven moving here to help protect witches against persecution.” “Most intriguing,” said the Count. “Did they say how they would protect the witches?” “I haven't found many details on that,” Edward said, sounding annoyed, “except that it involved the undead.” Mr. Jarvison looked around uneasily. The secret door in the crypt's wall swung open, revealing an empty room except for a steep staircase leading down. The air smelled stale and musty and there was an eerie silence. Jake looked at Nikolai who stared back, wide-eyed. Both boys both started forward, Jake in the lead. The staircase ended in a stone door. Jake pushed against it until the door finally screeched open. The sound reverberated throughout the entire structure, sending chills down Jake's spine. The room it revealed was dark, the light from outside barely penetrating several feet. Jake hesitantly stepped forward and flames shot around the room as a dozen torches flared to life. They revealed a large, circular room with a dozen stone doors around the perimeter. The floor was made of white marble with black marble inlays, creating a large pentagram. In the center of the pentagram stood an altar with a large leather-bound book sitting atop it. “Wow… ” Jake exclaimed as he took in the sight. He looked back to check on Nikolai, who was a few steps behind him. Jake slowly moved forward, fascinated by the book. Almost without realizing it, he was standing in front of the altar, staring down at the large tome. He looked back and Nikolai was standing at the edge of the pentagram with one foot raised as if he was trying to decide if he wanted to cross over it or not. Jake turned back and reached out to touch the book. The room exploded in white light and Jake was blinded as he heard Nikolai cry out in pain. A series of loud thumps shook the ground as the stone doors fell open. He looked up and saw black shapes moving behind each doorway. Jake turned and started to run toward the stairs. Nikolai was on the ground at the edge of the pentagram, withering in pain. As Jake paused to help Nikolai, he glanced around the room. In each of the dozen doorways, a walking corpse emerged. Each dressed in filthy flowing white robes. Their skin was leathery and taunt across their face and hands. As they emerged from the darkness, they raised their heads as if they were searching for something, sniffing almost like dogs. Jake could hear the wet rattles of them inhaling deeply. The creatures didn't look like the ones from the movies but he knew what they were, zombies. Jake stood there, paralyzed with fear until the nearest zombie suddenly caught the scent of something in the air and whipped it heads around to stare at the two boys. A rune, carved into each of their foreheads, began to glow as they opened their mouths and moaned. Jake pulled Nikolai up and pushed him towards the stairs. Without taking another look behind him, he ran. “Are there any of these… witches… still around?” the Count asked. “That's what I've been trying to find out. I believe that most of the original settlers were witches. I've been looking at genealogy records and, as far as I can tell, the last of their living relatives perished in a fire back in the late 1950s,” Edward said somberly. “Yes, that was an awful thing,” Mr. Jarvison mused. “My family lived a few counties over when it happened. I was just a young child but I still remember the news accounts, very sad. Most of the town was attending some kind of meeting at the town hall when it caught on fire. Very few survived.” All three men fell silent. The two children burst from the crypt, sounds of heavy footsteps echoing from the darkness behind them. Jake paused a moment to try to get his bearings, the sun was going down and he was a bit confused on how to get back to the inn. Nikolai had kept running straight into the overgrown brush that had overtaken this part of the cemetery. Upon hearing footsteps at the top of the stairs behind him, Jake quickly followed. ‘Why did he have to run this way?' Jake wondered as a sticker bush tugged at his clothes. He finally gave a great pull and fell back into a clearing. Getting up, he saw that he was the stone path that followed the 10-foot tall stone wall that surrounded the cemetery. Jake recognized some of the tall monuments and he knew where he was. Jake turned toward the right and ran along the path. After a few minutes of running, Jake heard a scream coming from ahead of him. ‘They must have got Nikolai,' Jake thought. He began to run faster. The Count broke the silence suddenly, “Did you hear a noise? Something is not right.” The other two men shook their heads, looking around the room. “Ivan,” the count said quietly. The large man stepped forward out of the shadows, quiet as a mouse. “Go check on Nikolai”. Ivan nodded and glided off. “Something is not right,” Count Romanova repeated himself, looking out the window into the growing darkness. Jake ran faster than he had ever ran in his life. As the path turned toward the entrance, he tripped on a tree root and was sent flying. He hit the ground hard and rolled a few times before landing against a small tree. However, when he looked up, he realized that it wasn't a tree, it was the legs of a large zombie. The undead creature looked down at him and, surprisingly, turned away and shambled on. Jake was stunned but flew back into action when he heard Nikolai cry out again, this time very close. Jake looked around and saw Nikolai standing at the entrance to the cemetery, in the middle of a ring of five zombies. One had grabbed him by the arm and was lifting him up while the others reached out for him, the runes growing brightly on their forehead. Jake picked up a rotting tree branch for a weapon and started to move to help Nikolai. He stopped when he saw a huge shape come out of the darkness. He sighed with relief when he realized it was Ivan but the look of murderous rage on the big man's face almost as scared him as the zombies did. Ivan waded into the middle of the group of zombies with a ferocity that Jake had never seen before. Ivan tossed the zombies aside like they were rag dolls, striking them with thunderous blows that didn't seem to do any real damage to them. When a creature was knocked down, they would rise back up and continue their assault. When three more zombies stumbled into view, Ivan pushed the two nearest ones down, picked up Nikolai, and ran back toward the inn. Seeing the Ivan disappear back into the darkness jolted Jake into action and he ran after them. The door to the inn crashed open and Ivan charged inside, still carrying Nikolai. Ivan's suit was torn and his face and arms were covered with scratches. Jake ran in after them and slammed the door shut, locking it. “Dad! Zombies!” Jake yelled. “Uh, what?” Edward said leaping to his feet. Right then, the window behind Edward exploded inward. Undead hands clawed at the window sill, trying to pull themselves into the room. Another window was smashed and loud thumping shook the front door as the dead tried to break it down. “Oh my! What is going on?” yelled a terrified Mr. Jarvison. Ivan ran to hold the front door as Edward grabbed a lamp and started hitting at the arms reaching into the den. They could hear glass breaking in other rooms of the house. Mr. Jarvison finally snapped and ran out of the den. He let out a terrified scream as a zombie lurched out of the dining room in the reception area. It ignored Mr. Jarvison as it shambled toward the Count, the rune on its forehead glowing brighter with each step. “The runes!” Edward yelled, pointing at the glowing brand on a zombie's forehead. “Some powerful magic created these things.” “Can you stop them?” Jake said, fearing the answer. “Not without knowing the spell used to animate them,” Edward yelled back, using the lamp he to push a zombie off the window sill. “Jake, the book!” Nikolai yelled, trying to help his father who was struggling with the zombie from the dining room. “Yeah, dad, there is some kind of spell book or something in that weird crypt in the graveyard,” Jake said to his father. “That may be our only chance,” Edward shot back. “Count! We need to get to the crypt, now!” he yelled. The Count, who was holding his own against the zombie, yelled out, “Ivan, to me! We need to get to the graveyard.” Ivan rushed over and toss the zombie attacking the Count outside, through a broken window. Just as Ivan turned back to the front door, it burst open and three more zombies began to stumble in. Ivan ran and leaped, knocking them back outside. “Go, go!” yelled Edward as everyone ran toward the front door. The next ten minutes seemed like a nightmare to Jake. Ivan was an unstoppable tank, running through the dark, knocking over any creature in his way. The rest of the group followed in his wake, trying to keep up. Once in the graveyard, Edward pointed the way to the crypt. The small party entered the crypt and ran down the stairs to the large, marble room. Edward ran over to the book on the altar. Ivan stood with his back pressed up against the door, waiting for any sign of the undead creatures. The Count and his son stood just off to the side of Ivan, backs to the wall. Something felt off to Jake but he didn't know what it was. He watched his dad quickly flip through the book, struggling to understand the words on the pages. Jake tried to connect the pieces, there was something he couldn't put together. “Wait, I think I got it… ” Edward said, almost to himself. He began reading the words from the book in a loud, booming voice. The undead began pounding on the door and Ivan, muscles bulging, struggled to keep the door shut. The ground began to shake and a wind started to rip through the chamber. Howls of anger and pain roared from behind the door as the undead intensified their attack. Something finally clicked in Jake's mind. ‘The zombies ignored me and Mr. Jarvison. The runes grew brighter when they get closer to the Count and his son… ' “Dad, stop! The zombies aren't after us, they are after them!” Jake yelled, pointing at the Count, who looked back at Jake with a wide grin. Edward showed no sign of hearing his son. He kept chanting and as he chanted, his voice grew even louder and the tremors became more powerful. When Edward reached the end of the spell, the black marble of the pentagram burst into flames. The pounding on the door ceased as a silence descended over the room. Edward leaned against the altar, exhausted. Ivan opened the door and only empty robes littered the floor, no sign of the zombies. Jake started to run to his father when the ground began to vibrate. The white marble floor started to crack as clawed hands began digging their way out of the ground. “What?” Jake exclaimed, “more zombies?” “Oh no,” the Count remarked, “these are the relatives I spoke of earlier, my ancestors.” The Count laughed as he began to change. His face elongated while his teeth grew sharp. His hair disappeared while his ears grew larger and more pointed. He became one of the creatures from the statues on the outside of the crypt, he became a ghoul. Ivan and Nikolai also began to revert to their true selves. “Those meddling witches kept my family imprisoned for hundreds of years. When we discovered them, we took our revenge and burned them all but we needed someone pure of heart to open the crypt, someone like your son,” said the count, running his tongue over his razor-sharp teeth. “We also needed another fool to undue the spell of protection and destroy those pesky undead guardians of theirs,” he said, gesturing back towards the white robes. “It took a bit of planning but we were finally able to forge those letters to draw you here.” Dozens of ghouls were slowly extracting themselves from the ground, their shinning eyes looking hungrily at Jake and Edward. “I do hope you will join us for dinner,” the Count bellowed, laughing.

On this episode of MOVE, you'll hear an interview with Jake and Belle Crause, who are no strangers when it comes to being part of an elite, special and – most importantly -- winning team. The couple chatted with Mac Heffner to talk about how they joined The Alliance, and took advantage of the opportunity. The Crauses both had impressive military careers in the Army, where they couldn’t always tell people what they had done. Now, they can tell the world and invite them to join The Alliance too. Jake remembers the first time he saw Belle was right after finishing basic training in the Army in Huntsville, Ala. Jake, who served for 22 years before retiring in September of 2018, was in a break room when Belle walked in the room. “I was struck by her immediately,” Jake said of seeing his future wife. “She was pretty, she had a great smile, and she doesn’t remember meeting me but that was how we met.” If Belle had followed the path of most people in the small town where she grew up in southeastern Kentucky, she would never have met Jake. Belle was the first in her family to graduate from high school. Her family’s home didn’t have running water until she was a teenager. Most women in her town were married and had children before they turned 20. It was a poor town, where people don’t dream big and most never leave. Belle wanted more. She read about different places in the world. An army recruiter came to her school when she was 13 and told her she had options. That gave her the lifeline she needed to live a different life than the people she grew up around. Belle knew she was going to join the Army. “I couldn’t fathom staying where I was,” Belle said. “Once you get a taste of that freedom and get a taste that there could be more, you starve for it. You are always after the next level of how you can do more and how you can do better.” On the other side of the country, Jake grew up south of Seattle, Wash. in a town called Kent. As a young boy, Jake went to a state fair and saw an airplane show. He knew the sky was where he wanted to be when he grew up. While Jake had opportunities, he didn’t have enough money to attend college. Jake’s path was the Army. It was also his ticket to become a pilot. After meeting at basic training, the couple dated for about six months. They were married on a beach in Florida as they were finishing up Explosive Ordinance Disposal training. Jake deployed a week later. This was basically the routine during the next 22 years. Belle served for eight years in the Army but was badly injured during an explosion in June of 1996. The blast at the Khobar Towers in Al Khobar, Saudi Arabia killed 19 people and threw Belle across the room, injuring her back. “There’s days where she is down because of her back. She takes away my excuses and a lot of other people’s excuses by going out and still doing that,” Jake said. “Her military service was very significant, and I want everybody to know that.” As Jake continued deploying for months at a time, Belle raised the couple’s two children – Heidi and Jacob. Eventually, Jake joined a Special Operations Aviation Regiment called the Night Stalkers. He flew in more than 15 combat deployments, some of which movies have been made about. As Jake clearly had an identity with the military, Belle was losing her role as stay-at-home mom. Her kids were adults, and she need to find a new purpose.     “I was looking for something more when the opportunity of The Alliance came around,” Belle said. “The kids had gotten older, and I was getting into a new phase of life where it wasn’t so centered around raising the children and the home front as much. That’s when this opportunity came along.” In 2016, Jake was still in the military, but kept seeing fellow Night Stalker Brandon Bules talking to people on the phone or listening to conference calls. Jake finally asked Bules what he was doing. Jake wanted no part of sales or insurance, but he thought Belle would be great at it. Jake was right, and he eventually warmed up to the idea of working with The Alliance too. Jake said the culture attracted him, which was something he loved about the Army. “I don’t know where I got this negative perception about sales and insurance,” Jake said. “I knew Brandon was up to something. He’s always been business-minded, and I could just tell he was working on something. Now, looking back, I know he was listening to calls like The Wednesday Call. I finally asked him about it, and I initially rejected it. But, I knew Belle could do it. I pictured her being able to pick it up and run with it.” Belle got her license in June of 2016. Jake was deployed at the time, but she was able to run business one day each week on Saturday. She did that for six months, and soon realized she could sell life insurance. She also found a new family, and she said fell in love with the people at The Alliance. “Everything I had done for the last 10 years, the kids were outgrowing it,” Belle said. “I needed something else to identify with. I was grateful I had been a stay-at-home mom, but children grow up and they don’t need you as much. It was scary. I needed a next step. It was a crossroads I was at when I went to that first meeting in Seattle.” After initially not wanting any part of The Alliance, Jake changed his tune. “My negative view quickly changed once I met some of the people because I could see the joy in people’s eyes and see the dreams they had,” Jake said. “It changed quickly. I saw it as something we could do together. We had never really been able to work together toward the same goal and dream. This was something we could do together, and I didn’t’ have to leave for months at a time to do it.” After working part-time for the first six months, Belle increased the time she spent working and eventually moved to full time. The turning point for the Crauses came after attending a National Convention at The Alliance’s headquarters in Burlington, N.C. The next week Belle wrote almost $18,000. The fire was lit, and the couple hasn’t slowed down since. “We got nuggets at that convention that turned into belief,” Belle said. “I saw what people were achieving, and I knew we could do it too. I saw people just like me. They were new to insurance too, and they were doing it with a high level of success.” In the last three years, Jake Crause was able to retire from the Army and work with The Alliance full time. The Crauses have won trips to Hawaii and Paris. They’ve already won the Alaskan Cruise trip in 2022. While in Paris, the Crauses dined atop the Eiffel Tower with Tim and Nicky Long, another member of the Night Stalkers who also joined The Alliance. They documented the experience by taking a photo together. “Travel in The Alliance is way different than traveling in the Army,” Jake said. “They never left gifts on my bed in Iraq and Iran. It was a bit of a shock for us to travel like we do with The Alliance.” Beyond the trips and travel, the world of possibilities has opened for the Crauses. Jake says that is thanks to the vision of The Alliance’s President and CEO Andy Albright. “Andy Albright has expanded our whole thought process about what is possible,” Jake said. “We had very narrow ideas of what life was going to be like for us. We won the lottery when we found The Alliance.” The Crauses are excited about where they are now but are bullish about their future with The Alliance. They believe the best is yet to come, no matter what your goals and dreams are. “It is achievable if you just do the right things and put in the work,” Belle said. “When you start going on some of these trips, you start to see what is possible. If you work hard at it, it can be done. The entire country is like our backyard now. We used to have limiting factors, and now we don’t. It’s just a quick airplane ride away.” www.AndyAlbright.com @AndySAlbright www.NAALeads.com @NationalAgentsAlliance @NAALeadsTheWay #TheAlliance #DoTheDo #N247RU

In this dramatic series finale of Briarpatch, Allegra sets her plan in motion to take down Gene Colder and everyone else who had a role to play in the death of her sister, Felicity. This all leads to an intense showdown in Packing Town where Allegra and Jake meet with Clyde Brattle, and it is revealed that Chief Raytek was actually the second bomber, killing Strucker to cover her own tracks. A power struggle for the evidence against the senator ensues and results in the deaths of Clyde Brattle, Gene Colder, and Chief Raytek. As Jake walks away, the last man standing, it is revealed that Allegra had the real evidence hidden all along. The group was actually fighting over the wrong recording, the one of Felicity asking none other than Jake Spivey for help. With this shocking reveal, Jake confronts Allegra at her childhood home, unable to pull the trigger, as he lets her walk away victorious in vengeance. With the evidence against the senator in her back pocket, Allegra is relinquished from the clutches of Cyrus and leaves San Bonifacio as a free woman.Follow us on http://www.Twitter.com/AfterBuzzTV "Like" Us on http://www.Facebook.com/AfterBuzzTV For more After Shows for your favorite TV shows and the latest news in TV, Film, and exclusive celebrity interviews, visit http://www.AfterBuzzTV.com --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

Billy and Alison can't wait for Keith to go back to Seattle and leave them to resume their very happy relationship. Alison's just going to go out with him for one last dinner and drive him to the airport, no big deal. Billy has continued to look into stalking and its tendency to be visited by spurned lovers on their former partners, but Alison isn't trying to hear it, right up until she goes to Keith's hotel room and sees that, actually, he's delayed the flight she thought she was there to drive him to; when she declines the dinner he's ordered them instead, he pushes her onto the bed and threatens to sexually assault her. While Jane tries to excise Michael from her life, Michael can't stop scheming to avoid the consequences of his cheating: he asks her to call off her lawyer; he tries to cultivate a laid-off Matt by getting him an interview for a job at the hospital; and he even butters up Sydney -- who's ostensibly come to town to support Jane -- so that he can play Sydney off her sister. As Jake ramps up (get it) his motorcycle racing career, Amanda also revs up her engine for Jake, while Jo watches warily and tries to keep them apart.

Empower by Example Episode 12 Jake Goodman, Executive Director of The Opportunity Fund https://www.theopportunityfund.org     In our second episode with Jake Goodman from The Opportunity Fund, Jake and I talk openly about our personal struggle with imposter syndrome. As Jake states, in almost everything that we fund, people are going to do even if they don’t have access to the funds. We realize that the founders of these amazing programs and initiatives will run their programs without paying themselves. We become close with the people and programs we fund.   When Jake asks me what I have learned by coming back to Pittsburgh after 13 years, we begin discussing the disparities between the haves and the have nots in Pittsburgh. We frankly question the existence of foundations and ask if Pittsburgh is one of the most philanthropic regions in the nation, why are the disparities still so profound?   The Rock Family Foundation and The Opportunity Fund work together and parallel to each other in many ways. Our partnership is important because we amplify our impact and our message when we support the same programs and funding areas. We are both currently working on the renovations for Downtown Pittsburgh’s low barrier winter homeless shelter. If you have questions about where we fund and how we decide which projects to back, please email Laura at rockfamilyfoundation@gmail.com.   https://www.post-gazette.com/social-services/2019/11/12/Winter-homeless-shelter-Allegheny- County-Smithfield-United-Church-Christ-Pittsburgh-Mercy/stories/201911120096   Music by Buscrates (https://www.instagram.com/buscrates/?hl=de)

From banking to broking, Jake Biddle shares with us how he took 10 years of accumulated knowledge in the finance industry to setup Saint Finance.   And, though he's on Australia's west coast, it was his passion for the Saint Kilda football club that was the impetus behind the name.   Like most before him, though Jake initially relied on family & friends, he was able to reconnect with past clients and earn more referrals through the provision of outstanding service.   After several months, his long-term friend and former boss Chris joined him at Saint Finance where they are co-directors of the company.     As Jake shares, if you are going into business with someone, particularly as co-owners, you want to be certain that you can support each other and ride the bumps that can sometimes happen arise.   This is sage advice, as all too often, it can be easy to see the ‘upside' of going into business with another person without necessarily taking the time to review potential risks, threats and/or challenges that can come with having a business partner and the responsibilities herewith.

How are you doing today? I'm doing really good. Thanks for having me on. Of course, I'm honored. If anybody, I'm honored to have you on the show it's going to be you the person that helped me so much in my career and developing myself as a real estate investor. I've learned so much from you. So I'm very honored as I mentioned. Thank you for putting the time to do this. Thank you. Yes. So you are a very accomplished man, and it seems like your whole life is about doing and creating. So I want you to tell us a little bit about your career how it started and what currently drives you.  Well, my biggest accomplishment, I think, is being a father of six children.  That is by far the most important thing to me, and that's the reason, believe or not why I got into real estate because I was in a tough business. I was in the restaurant business, and it just took a lot of time.  It took a lot of energy, a lot of effort, a lot of long hours and a lot of long weekends working on the holidays- it was difficult, and I was the son of an immigrant. So that's what I thought everyone did. I mean, I was working hard, but I didn't feel fulfilled, and I seemed like I was always away missing those important things with my family. So I was back in 2008, the Great Recession came in, and I was making pretty good money. The restaurant and everything changed, and I said to myself I need to go on a different path. I need to find something different, and I already had a job. So I didn't get into a residential real estate. I didn't get into fixing flips. I tried to get to the multifamily, and I think that was the saving grace me.  Try and get into a multifamily business, buy properties still have the restaurant, but do this on the side and make some extra money because as to have a large family it's a lot of mouths to feed. That was my priority to do something where I can get a little bit of extra passive income on site. And over the years from 2008 to this point continue to buy. Continue to grow. I just got fortunate enough that back in 2016 of March I left the restaurant and I dedicated my life full time to real estate.     That's beautiful. So you decided to focus on multifamily whereas other investors typically when they start they try to focus on single families because they have the conception that this is the safest thing to do and that was our conception when we started doing business in real estate.   But you challenged that and so you tackled multifamily right from the beginning. So tell us a little bit about that? How was it? How difficult was it to get into that arena?   Well,  in the beginning, everyone believes what they think. If you believe it's easier to get into single families, that's what you're going to believe. It's a self-fulfilling prophecy. Everyone knows how to buy a home so they think, hey single family's easy I can get into it I've done it before.  Everyone hears the word multifamily commercial, and they start shaking their boots, and they think of commercial financing, and real estate is a team sport. And for me, I didn't want to have another job. I didn't want to fix and flip a home. I mean, I love that process, it's a lot of fun. But once you think about all the hours and the time that you need to do a house, the capital gains, the risk factor, and where you are in the market cycle. All of a sudden you've done all that work, and then you've got to go and repeat it; it didn't seem like it was a really good strategy for me. I wanted something that would have at least residual income. I wanted something more I built long term wealth. Yeah, I wanted something where I could have the capital gains to avoid tax benefits there. I want something where I could build a business where it was scalable. So if you're thinking about buying single-family homes take a step back and say to yourself, how is it going to be when I have ten or eleven or twelve houses spread out all over the city. They're all different. It's going to be harder to manage every single one of them if I've got ten homes and three of them are vacant. That's a big vacancy. As Jake and I started on our twenty-five-year property they were all in one location. I was working full time. I could manage these part-time at the very beginning, and it was easier because they're all in one location. There was one landscaping bill. There was one garbage bill. There was one utility bill. There was one roof there. So it was just easier for me. There was an economy a scale thing. There were scalability factors and all those other factors that I've mentioned. It just made more sense.  Yeah. Also when you flip a home it feels like a job.   you make good money. I mean I've done that before, and you make good money. I get a good day you're placing your time so that you can earn money. So it's a good job, but essentially it's a job. It doesn't create residual income for you as far as multifamily does. And also I mean you could get there it’s not scalable, but it's possible. I mean it's possible to hold 20 single families and make residual income, and welfare. But it's not as easy and as convenient so I can relate.  Well, I think the problem is most people like that don't mean effect. It's so much more rewarding to actually buy a house fix it and then flip it three months later and get paid. It's a great feeling right, that's a transaction. It's a lot harder.  using my immigrant background to be a farmer plant the seed water the seed weed the garden take care of it let it grow and wait six months and pray that it doesn't rain hardly ever hail. There's a lot of risks involved that's an entrepreneur's journey because you're holding on and you're delaying the gratification.  Whereas I think single-family homes you're fixing the flipping it's a different process it's a different mindset. You're going to get into multifamily think of yourself as an entrepreneur. You think of yourself as someone who's solving problems for tenants. And the more tenants and problems you can solve the bigger portfolio, the more money you are going to make and the more as you scale bigger and gains the more property and more units the more cost savings you're going to have the more revenue generator rate are you going to have and that's how you start becoming really successful in this business.  Yeah, I agree. So you've entered the multifamily business. I mean a few years back so it's not like you've been doing that for 30 years while you were in the restaurant business. So how did your life change ever since you got into multifamily.  Well I mean for me, the best thing was I went to coaching school. I became a life coach because I didn't know what I wanted right.  I mean, I think the most important thing that everyone on this call has to figure out is to keep becoming clear with our lives, what is the clarity in your life? I didn't want to work twelve hours a day doing more at a job that I didn't like anymore. Now I'm working just as hard, but I'm doing something that I feel fulfilled in, and to me, it's not a job.   I don't even know what day it is today, to be honest with you. I mean the weekends to me are just like any other day or whenever I want to. For me, it was hard because I was working and it was like you said every week the week is over you get paid you start the next week, and it was just boring, and it was not fulfilling. Also when we bought our first property it was exciting because it felt like we did something different. Then three months after that first property we bought our second property. So we had 60 units within the first three months of buying the first deal. It took us 18 months to get our first deal. I mean it was hard out there I had done some coaching I had gotten together with mentors I had gotten together with Jake as a partner. So Jake and I took 18 months to get that first deal. But that second deal came right after the first because we had the credibility. We had met the broker we had understood the market. We had chosen the market and focused, and we had built a team. And I mean things are changing. I started seeing real estate as a business which is what it is whether you're going to fix a flip whether you're going to wholesale whether you're going to master lease whether you going to buy commercially. It has to be treated as a business. And you want to take yourself out of the day to day operations and think more long term and think bigger picture and build a business. And if you can't if you're out there trying to buy a business you can't scale that business then it's not a business, it becomes a job. That's why when you're buying a couple of single-family homes that can't be scaled if that model can't be scaled and you can't pull yourself out of it then it's not a business it's a job.  Here’s some that I learned from you, is the famous scent as you always say that transactions pay equity bill make you rich. That's right. I've learned that pretty well, and that's what we are trying to establish as well. So I know you wrote two books two of which bestsellers. So let's talk about these books a little.  I know the first one is we'll get our profits, and then the other one is family food and the fairs. So just from the titles, I could understand that these are two completely different books. So what's special about these books for you? And how has the experience of writing them?   Well, the great thing about it was back in 2008, I was trying to do something in the restaurant that we call multifaceted.  I had seen back then it was a shift. I mean all of a sudden you have to see trends you have to see what's going on with demographics, and it's exploding now. If you understand the new demographics now we're where people are not going out to eat they want to have delivery they want to have stuff brought into their house. Whole Foods is taking over a lot of it. Trader Joe's a lot of prepackaged foods. I said to my brother we need to do something different here at the restaurant we need to create other streams of revenue whether that is writing a cookbook which is what I did. I wrote a cookbook called family food in the fryers, and I wrote it for a bunch of Catholic brothers where I would go down and do a lot of mission work for and they were terrible cooks. So I said that was the mission, I said let me write a cookbook for them. And I ended up branding the restaurant then we created the company called Geno's family where I wanted to have my family teach other families how to garden, how to grow vegetables, and how to bring it into the house how to cook with them and then what I did with that company as I was sourcing physical products from China where there was cutlery whether it was vertical garden bags whether it was e-books and all that kind of information. And I was creating a little business within the restaurant and career multiple brands or multiple revenue streams. I was also joined tomato sauce selling it.  Unfortunately, as I'm doing that, Jake and I find out while this real estate is pretty cool and my brother was not ready at the time to start transitioning; he didn't see what I saw so since my brother Mark I'm surprised it's real estate. So Jake and I start buying these properties and about at about a year and a half after we start buying. We wrote this book with all our profits. And the reason why I wrote the book is it makes you go in there and research and learn and become a much better investor because even though you're learning you never stop learning is always things changing in the market and I electric let's write this book just for fun. We sat down, and it took us about a year to write the book believe right. I mean we're not good writers, and we're not that smart. So it took us a lot longer than what it should have. But I mean it gave us the clarity on what our strategy was we were buying these deals from mom and pop owners, and we were using the simple buy right manage right and finance. That was our three-legged framework on how to buy a multifamily property. So it gave the clarity, OK this is it let's put it down on paper. And then from there, we said what. Let's start coaching people and teaching people how to do what we're doing. So from that book, came up the Jay congenial program.  Beautiful. So tell us about how you met Jay and the other half of the famous duo Jake and Gino? Well  I mean sometimes people they gravitate towards you. He was a pharmaceutical rep back in 2010-2011, and he was using a restaurant, and he was good friends with my brother.  My brother is handling all the outside of the restaurant his deal dealing with the pharmaceutical reps that he was getting catering from our restaurant going to doctor's offices and selling pharmaceuticals. And when the sunshine came in that all changed the whole health care model changed and he saw that as a threat. So he decided to move down to Knoxville Tennessee, and I said Jake when you get down there let me know, we'll start looking at deals.  I know what kind of person he is, and for anybody out there looking to get into partnership with other people, you have to stop and think of why you want to in partnership with people.  I saw Jake as someone similar to me; he works. Rick is a super hard worker; he's always working. He's always thinking about the next step. He's got value-based decision making where he's got a great core belief; core values are really powerful. He's got a lot of integrity. He's got a lot of ethics, and he does the right thing. So I gravitated towards all of that, and I liked the way he worked because I worked just as hard. So if you're going to partner with other people make sure you look at that make sure you look at the background make sure you look at them saying what. It's not my job, It's not in our vocabulary, It's all about helping each other out. So I met him he went down and like I said from 2011 to 2013 we're looking to buy a property. He ended up buying a house because his wife moved down and then we bought that first property. He is the property manager because he was in the market, so he brought value that way by managing the property. And I was the one who had the experience the education I knew how to read the deals I don't want to raise the money. So I had that experience between the two of us. We just hit it off. We had a great partnership, and we just decided to stick with it. And like I said once you started growing we're like what let's start a podcast. What's the worst they can have. We've just started the podcast, started meeting people, talking to people and just really learning the industry from the inside out.  That's beautiful. So how do you guys currently divide the workload between you two now that you've been in a partnership for quite a while?  each other well.   Well, what ends up happening is there are certain inflection points, in any business, I think after we got off two-hundred units all of sudden Jake said I need to property manager and I need to hire some property managers we had 60 units the third deal was one hundred thirty-six units. So when we had that third deal we started hiring full-time property managers full-time maintenance. So we did that. That was the first step. And then when we hit about six hundred fifty units we decided to hire a regional manager. We just needed more staff. As you start staffing up and at that point, I was doing. I was sold to the restaurant I left the restaurant. Jake was doing day to day in the property management, and I was pitching in.  I was helping out filling out quick books and doing all the reporting. And then when I said Jake I'm going to do the education day in a day full time, there's a lot of stuff involved in the very beginning creating lessons creating videos getting people to come on the podcast. The date you do day to day with the property management. And then from there, those were the two streams of revenue on top of the investment which was the third stream of revenue, so those three streams. A year and a half ago, we decided we've got about 900 investors on our database. Jake, I can't reach out to them and set up thirty-minute meetings and you can either one, or we create a syndication company gets another partner for that which we hired Dillon Obama. He's our third partner. We have another partner Mike on that so let's do that. You have these symbiotic relationships between a syndication company that is raising money in an education company that is teaching people and also fulfilling them over to our syndication company. If they have extra money they can they can invest with us a property management company that runs these investments and the investments themselves.  So as we started scaling up we saw that we'd rather share the pie with other people who felt our core beliefs then try to keep for ourselves because it's hard to start scaling up and picking out what you do what you don't like. I love the education aspect of it. Jake loves the property management aspect of it. Our partner loves to speak to investors. He loves to underwrite deals, so if we can all work on our strengths and grow the business and try to keep it as a multifaceted business where each entity is helping the other entity it works well, and you'll figure that as you start scaling.  That's the hardest thing for an entrepreneur when do you hire somebody else. I mean we hired our first sales guy for Jacob Gino about two years ago 18 months ago and then only three to four months ago we hired an operations manager. We should have hired sooner; we just didn't know you'll figure that out. As you see, you start yourself growing and, you start doing tasks that aren't necessary if you aren't there to generate revenue. That's why you say to yourself OK, I have to pull myself out of this task and hire somebody to do that. Does that make sense?  It does make a lot of sense especially because I'm also in a partnership and I know exactly how important that is to have a mastermind, and sometimes you're not sure about things, and you could talk to somebody about the way you say things, and then they see things differently. And then you come up with the best solution. So it only makes sense to me, and I think it's beautiful that you guys are so symbiotic as you mentioned and that's amazing.  So I'm going to see you be doing that very soon. Trust me because once you have a great system and a great business it's all a communication right. We have something that we call Level 10 meetings every week.  We are on meetings with every single one of our entities and then might take up five or six hours a week, but it's really important to have her be on board. We've done something called scaling up with Patrick coaches because as you start growing if you're going to be an educator you have to believe in your product. You have to go out there and invest in yourself and invest in your company. So for you to grow and you're doing something new you've never done it before you really to go out there and invest in yourself and invest in your company, so that's first and foremost.  But I see you guys doing the same thing? You've got a beautiful model. You already employ virtual assistants amazingly you have a system set up. You are going to be teaching your process and then from that money make what you do the money you make. You replicating put into other investments and you start multifaceted, and I can see the picture already being painted with you guys as well.  Yeah. I mean I think it's what's special about our motto is that we came from the background of being a residential wholesaler. So as a residential wholesaler, you like a multifamily investor on steroids.  That's the way I like it because you're able to do some things that other people are not doing since it's just not a part of the industry.  a lot of people say, hey talk to the brokers and an established broker they should ship which we're doing, and we're doing everything, but the off-market strategies that we are implying are getting us ahead. And I can already see that we're getting to sellers that otherwise, we have never sold the property because they never had even that idea. So you're essentially the broker when you're addressing the sellers directly then you're essentially the broker because you're getting them before other brokers do. And then you're also saving the commissions that they would pay for brokers.  So it makes sense, and that's the best so much value. You guys have so much value that model and what's great about it is that you're in a tough market right now.  Can you imagine when the market cycle resets, and you're going back to the buyer's market you guys are going to clean up? So continue to do what you're doing because everyone always says now's not the right time to get in the market. It's never the right time to get into the market. It's never the right time to have a child. It's never the right time to leave your job. It's never the right time to get married. It's only the right time when you decide is the right time and what you need to do is learn what strategy to employ in that specific market cycle. I mean the real estate comes out three pillars it comes down the market cycle, it comes out to debt, and it comes down to exit strategy. If you can employ all three of those who make a wise decision on all three of those you can buy in any market, you just need to know. So as you'll see as the market resets you guys are going to you're poised to crush it as this market is going down because you've created the relationships you've already spoken to the sellers three or four times so when they're ready what are they going to call they're going to call you because you're already in touch with them a couple of times.  Exactly. I could always see that coming, and what else. When we started doing residential wholesale then a lot of people told us not to do it in Miami. The Fort Lauderdale Miami area because this market is very competitive, and it's very difficult for beginners.  So it was competitive, and it was difficult to get in, but it was very rewarding when not the first deal. So it's the same thing, and in today's market and multifamily, it's hot. But if you get a deal then it's good for you because you couldn't so easily. So there are advantages to this as to every market. And if we're already talking about the market I wanted to ask you a question which I've already preferred. So what do you think are the adjustments that the investors that are trying to get into multifamily or investors that have already done a deal or two in multifamily? What do you think are the adjustments that they should make in today's market?  I have a couple of different ways to look at that question. The first thing is when Jake and I started all I knew was that I'm going to buy a deal on myself.  That's not the only way you need to buy multifamily nowadays. If you have a strong balance sheet and you can be a sponsor on a deal, you can get it into multifamily. If you have sweat equity and you live in a property you live in a market, and you find a deal you can run day to day you can get a deal that way. If you want to find a partner and partner up with somebody you can get a deal that way. If you want a syndicated deal and raise funds for your deal you can get the deal that way. If you want to raise funds for somebody else's deal you can get into a deal that way. There are so many different ways to get into multifamily as I said; it's a business, and everyone that's out there sees these hundred unique properties in two hundred unique properties, and you see all these syndicators out there saying I'm closing two-hundred-fifty units. Yes, they closed, but they had a lot of help from a lot of people raising money. It wasn't just them for the majority of the people. Jake and I raise our funds for our own deal we've had a couple of key people bringing down payments, or we've given them a little part of the general partnership, or for the most part, they are our investors. If we had problems raising the money we would go out and ask you or someone else, hey can you bring money toward deal raise money? You are compensating. That's one way for you to start. I think what people need to do more than anything else is they need to decide that multifamily is for them.  I think once they understand it multiplies for them. And that is the right business model to employ going forward. Because, I guess food water shelter, and those are three basic needs.  You can buy it on the internet yet it's very hard actually to replicate it; there's not enough affordable housing coming online. The demographics going forward whether it's the immigrant population, the millennials or the baby boomers, they're all going to rent more. That's just a fact. Read the book Big shift, a great book about demographics and what's going on if you can understand that you can see what's going on in the rest of the world as far as having negative interest rates as far as people wanting to park their capital in a viable asset. That's why multifold is hot right now, and I think going forward in the next five to 10 years you're going to see that trend continue. Now the important thing is I think you need to focus on a market and you should South Florida is very competitive red hot. Why is that? It's because there's a lot of jobs down there. There's job growth down there. People are moving to Florida I think a thousand people a day relocate to Florida all the baby boomers. That's right. It's the baby boomers coming down, and they're actually selling their houses in New York and California, and cashing out and coming down here buying a small condo or renting an apartment right. And jobs are coming down here that's why. So it's the quality of life. It's the actual tax savings. There's no state income tax, and it's just a great place to live. The people here are great. I moved from here two years ago from New York. I love it. I cut my tax property taxes in less than half — no state income tax. I love the weather. People are visiting me now. This is not the Florida that I knew ten years ago. It's not.  It's going to reach a different conclusion completely, and I think the other thing to finish that point, focus on a market.  That's why the Southeast is competitive because that's where people are flowing. Texas is going to continue for the next five to 10 years because they're leaving California they're going to Boise Idaho, they're going to Salt Lake City, they're going to Nevada, they're coming to Texas because of the tax savings and the quality of life. So focus on a market that you like that U.S. population and job growth continuing on and if we do get into recession those people are not going to buy homes they're going to have to rent. So if you can play buying a place that has enough supply and demand there you're going to have better chances of withstanding any recession.  Yes. So assuming there is a recession you think that the eight class properties are the first ones to get the impact by the big class and the secrets are safer? I think so.  it's really weird, my mom used to have a condo in Deerfield about four or five years ago, we're still going down there every year.  I was amazed at Boca on a ten; there all the new builds that were going on there; the old builds were vacant, and they were putting up new stuff like you couldn't believe especially the commercial. My fear is as we get a slowing down a recession will rebuild us continue to do. They continue to build through the slowdown because they have the permits and that's what they do. So any new stuff coming online. Just be careful in your market take a look at concessions as you see a concession is basically, hey let me give you microwave for free let me give you a month's rent for free. As you can see those concessions going up, that's when you're going to see that there can be softening made in the space. Now what might happen in that a space, it may trickle down into space and say,  what I can get an apartment and be a lot cheaper. I can be where we play in the B and C space, they're not going to be as effective as much because those tenants never really buy homes, and they're not really you can't compete with the 1970s and 1980s build with a brand new 2018 build that has a pool, clubhouse, café, and a fitness center. It doesn't they won't compete there's no competition with mine. So the strategy of buying right, if you can buy those assets right and you can weather the recession the downturn. The only thing that I want to that would worry about in a recession is you're hoping that rents don't decrease a lot. I mean you think occupancy is going to stay in the low to mid-90s but if your rents start decreasing and there's a lot of competition a lot of people fleeing that's where you're going to have problems. But I think space is the first one is going to get affected in the recession.  I agree.  I wanted to tell you about the deal that we've done in Hollywood since the area so well. So everybody is saying that it's so difficult to get a good deal in multifamily. So then there is another very efficient strategy, and we've started to implement it which is to buy lots that are zoned for multifamily based on the city that you live in.  Right, they currently have a single-family on them. Now what happens in that scenario is that it's not multifamily like syndication like the classic syndication, but your dancing with the developers. What happens is that a developer would come over and give you a quote to develop the land for you, and the land becomes the equity. So you bring in the equity, so if you could syndicate the money to buy the land. Right. It's sometimes expensive because some multifamily land that you could work with the developer to develop. That's another strategy that we are implementing currently we're going to build. I believe it's twenty-eight units, but some people say 36. We don't know yet, in Hollywood a lot that we bought. So we bought this thought. We bought it for I would say half the price than what it's worth. Even less so 30 cents on the dollar. And then now developers are coming over, and they want to develop it because the multifamily market is hot. So that's another strategy that I know is good for the market that we are at right now. So I know we've already discussed that, but I wanted to mention it since I love that strategy. So why? Because you're going to have a brand new building that has no deferred maintenance that's going to have nice rents and you're basically in it.  I don't want to see it for no money down, but you're basically in it for a little bit of money down, and your equity is that property, so you've created a ton of value. You're not the classic entrepreneur, or that is taking something you repurposed it; you've taken something, and you've made what we classically call a higher and better use. You've done that. You attract a lot of values from that. And it's market, that's worth something maybe ten years ago. It wasn't worth it because the land was a lot cheaper back five, six years ago but now the land is at a premium. These builders are looking for that so that they come in and they need to split some of the profits with you, but they get that land at a decent price per door they're willing to do that. So any author listening listens to that stretch don't do in Hollywood, don't do it in Miami. You can do it anywhere else in the country, but that's an awesome strategy. Great. Great idea.  Love it. So one of the best ways to connect with you in case anybody wants to invest with you or listen to your podcast go onto our website.  Jake and Gino come on there; we have all the podcasts we do for weekly podcasts.  We have the multifamily zone podcast with my wife and me, just talking about working with your spouse growing the family how to teach kids about money and all that.

“The fix to Public Service Loan Forgiveness hasn’t Helped very much”   More than 54,000 people have applied for their public service loan forgiveness, and only 1% (around 640) have had their loans forgiven. This forgiveness program was initiated a little over 10 years ago. The program would begin forgiving loans 10 years later, and that is where we are today. This means that the program will be receiving tens of thousands of more applicants in the near future. And if this problem persists, it will be a major issue. As Jake and Kirk discuss, this program has affected the lives of many people in our country. Maybe yours. Many people chose their majors under the auspices that their loans would be forgiven, if they followed the procedure. They may have been mistaken.   https://www.cnbc.com/2019/09/05/this-fix-to-public-service-loan-forgiveness-hasnt-helped-very-much.html   Have questions about managing your financial lifestyle?

"My first business did over a million in revenue and I don't think I ever took home more than 3 grand a month."Those are actual words from this week's guest, Jake Jorgovan, CEO of LeadCookie. We all push for revenue as our north star, but what good is revenue if you aren't actually making any money? Cash Flow is vitally important to running a healthy venture, and LeadCookie hit a point where 9 months in they had to layoff 6 people. As Jake admits, "It was largely due to me not knowing how to handle money in a growing business." That was the point when he decided to change things. Today LeadCookie is at it's most profitable point to date. As of when we recorded this episode, LeadCookie was at $60k MRR AND profitable.

Robert MacDonald's life changed in an instant, during a trip to Mexico, he fell 31 feet from his hotel balcony, landed on his back and had two immediate thoughts. "What have I done", and "I can't feel my legs"... What followed was a journey of resilience and an attitude of "I will" that has motivated a community of incredible people to make a positive impact on the world around them. Following Robert's accident, with nine broken vertebrae, a dislocated spine, 11 broken ribs, a fractured scapula, a punctured lung, a lacerated kidney, and no sensation below his waist, doctors gave Robert MacDonald a 5% chance of ever walking again. Two years later, he completed a half marathon and three years later he completed his first full marathon. Team "I Will" started with one man, a tragedy and is now one of Toronto’s fastest growing charities. The Toronto Rahab Foundation helped give MacDonald a second chance and three years later, he set out to complete a marathon and give back. Soon a dynamic community had rallied around his mantra and hundreds would challenge themselves to do the same, joining MacDonald in crossing the finish line at the Toronto Waterfront Marathon in 2015. ---------------------- The InnerVoice Audio experience wouldn't be possible without the support of Ikor Labs, who have sponsored this episode. iKOR is a natural hemp source of CBD that protects your body from stress, improves athletic recovery and helps you maintain a positive mental state.

Today’e episode is a Skype call I recently had with Australian professional Triathlete Jake Montgomery. Jake’s story is one that I am passionate about sharing. Prior to the 2016 70.3 Worlds Championships in Moolooloba on Australia’s Sunshine Coast, Jake was primed to have his breakout race, signaling his arrival on the world stage. Unfortunately he never made it to the startline and the course of his career and life was changed in an instant. A car turned in front of him and Jake collided with the car at 40km, causing traumatic brain bleeds and a chance that he would never race again. What followed was a mental battle to make it back to the sport he loves. His journey has been rocky and thanks to finding love by chance, his renewed passion has him gunning for an appearance at this year’s 70.3 Worlds in Nice. In Jake’s own words, he has unfinished business. InnerVoice was created to tell stories like Jake's, so I hope you enjoy his very human, very inspiring tale. I am extremely grateful that I get to meet and talk to the incredible people who make up the endurance sports industry, be it athletes, brands or you, the InnerVoice community. ---------------------- It wouldn’t be possible without the support of brands like Ikor Labs, who have really stepped up to help by sponsoring this episode of the Audio experience. iKOR is a natural hemp source of CBD that protects your body from stress, improves athletic recovery and helps you maintain a positive mental state.

In E002 I'm joined by a young and inspiring investor, Jake Campagnaro. Jake makes BIG returns and in this sessions he tells the story of how he did his first private mortgage investment at the age of 19. Jake turned a $50,000 investment into approximate $500/month and travelled the world. You won't want to miss this! Jake can be reached at jacob@reccanada.com for those who would like to connect with him direct. As Jake points out in the episode, there are pros and cons to this type of investing. Yes, cash flow is a selling point with private mortgage investing but the con is that you don't get the 'passive appreciation' that you get from owning a property. It is a tradeoff. I particularly found it interest how Jake told the story of borrowing a personal, unsecured, line of credit and using that to invest the banks money and make profit in an arbitrage situation. While Jake didn't specifically discuss it, this type of investment can be done with registered funds such as RRSPs, LIRAs, TFSA, RESPs and the like.

The ethereal sound of Jake Allen's music attaches to your heartbeat and reverberates through your veins with the warmth of a long-lost embrace.He moves around the acoustic guitar like he's been holding it for a lifetime, gliding from end to end and producing sounds that you'd normally expect from a full band. Although most audiences are introduced to Jake Allen through the spectacle of his solo acoustic performances, the scope of Allen's artistry runs much much deeper.At age five, Allen began exploring synthesizers and recording music in his father’s Northern Michigan studio. By fourteen, he had become proficient with a variety of instruments and he solidified his commitment to a life of producing and performing music. Allen has since gone on to produce several acclaimed solo records, playing every instrument himself, while tastefully complementing his smooth to soaring voice. In addition to drums, guitars, etc., Jake often stresses his belief in using the studio itself as a key instrument to create his massive productions and concept albums. His deep and detailed records lend themselves to the fleeting practice of sitting down and really listening to a record from start to finish.By his late teens, Jake found himself being drawn to the sounds of finger-style guitar trailblazers like Michael Hedges and Andy McKee. He started to pin point his focus on acoustic guitar, crafting his own breed of six string wizardry. On top of a two-hands on the neck, percussive tapping style, Jake employed an array of effects and live looping to create an engaging solo performance. Through the art of looping, he discovered a way to create a virtual clone-like backing band. With this sufficient bag of tricks, Jake took his solo show to the road in 2009, touring twice a year ever since.In addition to his solo endeavors, Jake has toured the U.S. several times with his backing band bringing his lush studio productions to life on stage. These live efforts have garnered endorsements from musical gear companies like Takamine, Fender and Gretsch guitars. Jake can often be found online and in the flesh showing off new guitars and other products made by these reputable companies.As Jake continues to write, produce albums and perform, his mission statement remains the same. "I observe, report and affirm my life through the act of making music. In turn I wish that act will enrich the lives of others and inspire them to be their own definition of great."Website:www.jakeallenmusic.comFollow Jake on Facebook at:https://www.facebook.com/jakeallenmusic

Niccolo Machiavelli   A special thanks to my friend, and Goal Getting Podcast listener, Nathan Pierce for Today's Goal Getting Quote of the Day AND for creating the graphic for our show today. You can find it on our show notes page at Goal Getting Podcast dot com / qod78. Nathan is also the host of Microbrewr Podcast (http://microbrewr.com/) If you are wanting to start your own brewery, I encourage you to go listen to Nathan's podcast. The link is on the show notes page as well. Nathan shared a quote from Machiavelli that goes: What remains to be done must be done by you. . . . God will not do everything himself. ~ Niccolo Machiavelli This quote reminds me of a story that I heard once. I think I heard it years ago before Hurricane Katrina, but the last time I heard it, or maybe I turned it into a lesson again after Katrina because it made a lot of sense and a good lesson. Jake lived in a house in the New Orleans. He heard the news one day saying that there was a massive hurricane coming toward New Orleans. His neighbors, as they were packing to leave, told him he should do the same.  Jake looked at them as they were driving off and said, "God will provide for me, I trust in God." The hurricane hit land fall and the rains came. Water started filling up the land around Jake's home. The police came by and told Jake he should leave. Jake told them, "I'll be OK, God will provide, I trust in God." The waters rose over the first floor and Jake had to move upstairs.  The National Guard came by in a boat to get Jake. Jake turned them away, saying all would be OK. "God will provide, I trust in God." The dikes broke and the the waters rose above the second floor and Jake had to move onto the roof. As Jake was sitting on the roof, praying, a helicopter came by to rescue Jake. He waved them off, "I'll be OK, God will provide, I trust in God." Later that day, Jake appeared at the Pearly Gates before God. Jake sadly said to God, "God why have you forsaken me? I trusted in you to provide for me, to save me." God looked at Jake and said, softly, "I sent you warning by the media, I sent the police for you,  I sent you a boat, I even sent you a helicopter.  The rest had to be done by you." The moral of that story and this quote, I believe is that God will not do everything for you. Don't just trust in God for him to provide everything for you. He gives us great things, like a brain, like intelligence, drive, passion and the abilities to do what we need to do to take care of ourselves. Machiavelli had it right - What remains to be done must be done by you. . . God will not do everything himself. Set your goals and then do what it takes to achieve those goals. It won't get done without you doing the actions needed to Get The Goals You Set. That's why I always say, Go Out And MAKE Today a Great Day.

Jake has been able to interview Hall of Famers, current and former players, and some of the most experienced broadcasters in the world of sports. Jake’s dream as a child was to talk sports for a living. As Jake says: “Getting behind the microphone isn't a job, it's a hobby and it's something that I want to do every day for the rest of my life.” As one of the most passionate young sports talk hosts in the country, Jake's work is defined by incredible work ethic and ambition. His ultimate goal: “not letting anything get in my way of becoming one of the top sports talk radio hosts in the world.” He hosts "The 5th Quarter in New York Sports" on 1240AM-WGBB in New York and has been on the WGBB airwaves for over two years. Some of his guests include: Tommy John, Jim Leyritz, Charles Jenkins, Shawn Green, Leonard Marshall, Anthony Becht, Ed Coleman, and more.  Jake has also been a guest on radio shows and podcasts around the country and always looking for additional invitations. At the time of this recording, Jake was the Program Manager at CBSSportsRadio.com. As Program Manager Jake handles all aspects of the digital side of CBS Sports Radio. Including having to copy edit, create headlines, and post all articles that go to the site, which features interviews from the various CBS Sports Radio shows and weekly columns from sports reporter John Feinstein and Damon Amendolara, host of The D.A. Show on CBS Sports Radio and also a host on NFL AM on NFL Network.

*This show is inspired by my interview with EndMyopia.org founder Jake Steiner, published on Nov 3, 2020. I was so inspired by Jake’s message that I ditched my glasses cold turkey after our interview, which took place on August 25, 2020. Five months down the road, I wanted to provide an update and give you some practical tips to start down the road of improving your vision naturally.* As Jake explained when he was on the podcast, not only did he cure himself from his own case of extreme myopia, he was able to do so entirely naturally. His recommended three steps for correcting vision are as follows: a little bit of blur, taking baby steps, and quantifying your results. Like I said, I personally went the cold turkey route when I ditched my computer glasses following recording my show with Jake back in August 2020. Going cold turkey was not necessarily the ideal strategy, but it’s actually been a revelation for me. If you want to learn about Jake’s movement and the scientific rationale to second guess the entire premise of lifelong dependency on reading glasses, listen to the episode ( https://www.bradkearns.com/2020/11/03/jake-steiner-rethinking-the-world-of-prescription-eyewear/ ). Jake offers a compelling premise: “Eyes are just fine” but are being traumatized by focusing on a near object for long periods of time. Computer screens, while not great, are actually better than the small(er) devices, which you look at from a much closer view. And this is happening because you are putting your ciliary muscle into spasm with extended focus on a close screen. Pseudo myopia is also not the same thing as real myopia, which is why it’s important to relax eye muscles by looking at distant objects. Putting on prescription glasses is like a crutch; you are putting the muscle in a constant contraction, so it atrophies. If you are game for a challenge and a path to improved vision, here’s how to play. Luke Storey, host of the Life Stylist podcast, is also going to manifest this shit! *1. Strive for a Lil Bit of Blur:* In my case, my correction is minimal. I just increase the zoom size on the screen and it looks fine. *2. Take baby steps:* Don’t make it too tough for yourself! I went cold turkey for a while, but now, I reach for my glasses when: I’m tired, it’s the evening, or there’s poor lighting. *3. Quantify:* Place an eye chart on the wall and tape on the ground. Or, try out Jake’s awesome app Meow-sure ( https://endmyopia.org/updated-smartphone-eye-measuring-apps-log-tools/ ) and get a baseline cm or diopter score for your eyesight. Do tests in the exact same lighting conditions to get correct baselines. Then, after testing after a long outdoor hike, test after three hours of looking at a screen, and you can see how you make your eyes WORSE quickly! When it’s real, it’s a real mindblower. *4. Take long breaks.* Short breaks are okay, but the 1-2 minute recovery is not long enough to get out of spasm. It’s better to go for long work periods if necessary, and then take a 30 minute break focusing on distant objects. Hopefully this show encourages you to strive for a little bit of blur and keep challenging your eyes, however, don’t go overboard because you will risk giving up because it’s too tough (like extreme exercise). I bought a book years ago about improving your vision without glasses that claimed ‘In just 40 minutes a day of eye exercises,’ you can improve your vision. It’s also extremely important to note that too much blur can mess with the brain to the point where it becomes your new normal, and the brain forgets what true clarity is like. And, amazingly, the visual cortex fixes even astigmatism (misshapen lens). With a little bit of blur, you can strive to improve by a 1/4 diopter in 3-4 months. So far, I’m at 4 months. My eyes are at R 0.5 and L 2.5 (yes, I have monovision; the doctor always reminds me, “Brad, people pay me big money to have your eyesight!). I’m looking forward to checking in a year from now, as my right eye should not need a prescription by then. *TIMESTAMPS:* If you are tired of wearing glasses, listen to these ideas. [01:34] Increase the zoom size on your computer screen or change your prescription. [04:25] Brad describes a good way to test your eyesight at home. [07:38] Most of the time, damage to the eyesight is because of our behaviors rather than a fixed medical diagnosis. [09:31] People don’t realize that if you wear glasses, it affects your posture, how you walk, and how you look, and your social behavior. [11:14] Strive for a bit of blur and take baby steps as you try this experiment.
