Future Proof, which holds one of the industry's largest wealth conferences, invited me to hold a live podcast earlier this year with Blue Owl Co-President and Global Head of Real Assets Marc Zahr. Marc is a pioneer in the real estate space, building Blue Owl into a market leader in the triple net lease strategy, a commercial real estate investment strategy that is becoming increasingly popular for real estate investors, tenants (think large corporates like Amazon, Walgreens, Dollar General), and investors alike.Blue Owl's Real Assets business has over $67.1B AUM, owning over 5,600 assets and partnering with over 800 tenants. Marc founded Oak Street, the predecessor firm to Blue Owl, in 2009 with $17M AUM. Listening to Marc talk about the evolution of his career, building Oak Street, and running Blue Owl's Real Assets platform, it's no surprise to see why Marc and the firm have had success. His “myopic focus … perfecting his craft,” as he discussed in our conversation, his clarity of vision, and his ability to so clearly articulate his investment strategy and market opportunity have led to tremendous success for Oak Street, and now, Blue Owl.Marc and I had a fascinating and thought-provoking discussion that covered everything from the evolution of his firm, how and why he sold Oak Street to Blue Owl, the market opportunity in triple net lease real estate investing, why data center investing is a large market opportunity, how to build a high-performing investment culture, and much more.We discussed:The story of how Marc built Oak Street from a $17M real estate investment firm and grew it into Blue Owl's $67B AUM Real Assets platform.Breaking down the triple net lease real estate investment strategy.Why the industry “isn't even in the first inning” in the $20T addressable market in triple net lease real estate investing.Why data centers are a “once in a generation opportunity” due to capex supply / demand imbalance.How a bigger platform can help an asset manager scale its business.Why an evergreen structure can make sense and the story of how Blue Owl did so well with its triple net lease product on a private wealth platform that the private bank created their own product.The hardest part of educating the wealth channel on real estate and evergreen structures.Why private wealth is the biggest opportunity in the future. The advice Marc would give to someone trying to build the next great asset manager.Thanks Marc for sharing your wisdom, expertise, and thoughtful and nuanced perspectives on private markets and real estate.

In questo episodio: Le rotazioni settoriali stanno segnando una nuova fase nei mercati, con gli investitori che ribilanciano i portafogli in vista di possibili tagli dei tassi e benefici fiscali. Dopo un semestre dominato dal momentum, si cerca ora maggiore diversificazione e partecipazione più ampia.Le tensioni commerciali continuano a pesare sullo scenario globale, con l'inasprimento dei dazi da parte degli Stati Uniti che colpisce Europa, Canada, Brasile e anche le materie prime. L'incertezza sui tempi e sugli effetti concreti degli accordi genera instabilità, soprattutto in ambito industriale.Lo stimolo fiscale europeo, guidato dalla Germania, sta alimentando aspettative di ripresa. Nonostante le revisioni al ribasso sugli utili, i grandi piani di investimento pubblici e privati offrono una base solida per il futuro, soprattutto per le aziende capaci di trasmettere fiducia nei prossimi trimestri.In conclusione, il mercato rimane sospeso tra segnali positivi e rischi latenti. La forza degli indici non deve far dimenticare la complessità dello scenario, fatto di movimenti strutturali e politiche economiche in evoluzione. Per gli investitori, è un momento cruciale per rivalutare il proprio approccio, con una visione più attenta al medio termine e alla qualità delle scelte di portafoglio.

They emphasize the importance of flexibility in financial decisions, particularly regarding mortgage payments, and the role of life insurance in providing additional security and cash flow.

Check out our website: beerandmoney.net For a quick assessment of your current financial life go to: https://www.livingbalancesheet.com/lbsVision/lite/RyanBurklo Takeaways Overpaying a mortgage may not always be the best financial decision. Flexibility in financial planning allows for better management of cash flow. Life insurance can provide both security and cash value for retirement. Retirees often fear running out of money more than death. Strategic financial planning is essential for addressing unexpected expenses. Having liquid assets can provide more options in retirement.

In this episode of Absolute Trust Talk, host Kirsten Howe examines the estate complications following One Direction member Liam Payne's tragic death in Argentina in fall 2024. At just 30 years old, Payne left behind a $32 million estate—but no will. His complex assets include performance income, solo artist earnings, brand deals, music publishing rights, and venture investments. Without estate planning, his 8-year-old son Bear becomes the sole intestate heir, inheriting the full amount at age 18. Kirsten analyzes the cascading problems: massive probate fees (at least $376,000 in California), no designated asset management for the minor child, potential displacement of Payne's live-in girlfriend, substantial estate taxes on $18 million (a 40% rate), and no provisions for parents or siblings. This case illustrates how even young, successful individuals require comprehensive estate planning to safeguard their loved ones and preserve their wealth. The key lesson: don't die intestate—unexpected death can happen at any age, making proper planning essential for anyone with assets and people they care about. Time-stamped Show Notes: 0:00 Introduction 0:57 Listen as we discuss the untimely passing of Liam Payne and his $32 million estate with complex assets and no will 2:16 While Liam is a citizen of the UK, we're going to analyze his case as if it were under California law, and why probate is problematic for large estates 3:19 The massive cost of probate: $376,000+ in statutory fees alone for complex assets such as those like Liam's 4:33 Estate Planning Lesson #1: No chosen asset management for minor child - court appoints ex-girlfriend and music lawyer 5:52 Estate Planning Lesson #2: 18-year-old inheritance age - few parents think this is appropriate for $32 million 6:35 Estate Planning Lesson #3: No provisions for other family members - parents, siblings get nothing 7:24 Estate Planning Lesson #4: Live-in girlfriend faces potential eviction with no inheritance rights 8:16 Estate Planning Lesson #5: Massive estate tax liability - 40% on $18 million could have been minimized 9:16 Key takeaway: Estate planning is essential at any age when you have assets and loved ones
Many business owners purchase insurance without truly understanding what they're buying or what critical coverage they might be missing. Host Kirsten Howe addresses this knowledge gap by welcoming Dean Myers, owner of Core Insurance Agency, to reveal the fundamental insurance coverage every business owner needs before opening their doors. Dean, who specializes in errors and omissions insurance for lawyers, accountants, doctors, and professional trustees, breaks down the three critical pillars of business insurance: workers' compensation, general liability, and property insurance. As the first installment of a multi-part series, the focus centers on the absolute basics that form the foundation of any solid business insurance strategy. Dean demystifies workers' compensation requirements in California, explaining why it's legally mandatory even for part-time employees and how the no-fault system protects both employers and workers. The conversation explores the role of general liability insurance in protecting against third-party claims, encompassing a range of incidents, from slip-and-fall accidents to product liability issues. It explores the comprehensive coverage of property insurance, including business interruption and extra expense provisions. Whether you're a solo practitioner considering your first employee or an established business owner reviewing your coverage, the discussion provides crucial insights into protecting your business from day one. Time-stamped Show Notes: 0:00 Introduction 2:12 Meet Dean Myers, founder of Core Insurance Agency and specialist in professional liability coverage. 3:04 Listen in to learn about the three non-negotiable insurance pillars every business needs, plus why California law demands workers' comp coverage even for your first part-time employee. 5:04 Workers' comp is identical across all carriers by law, but the "no-fault" system means injured employees can never sue you. 7:06 Did you know? Injured workers typically receive only two-thirds of their salary because insurance companies aim to incentivize their return to work. 9:27 Office workers pay vastly different premiums than construction crews, and your claims history can earn you substantial discounts or painful penalties. Here's what you need to know. 10:02 Pro Tip: Insurance companies often offer free risk management consultations that many businesses overlook, potentially missing out on significant premium savings. 14:20 Next, Kirsten and Dean discuss understanding the difference between premises coverage and products liability, which can help you avoid accidentally choosing the wrong protection. 15:51 Property insurance covers everything from meteor strikes to water damage, but the real goldmine is business interruption coverage. 17:31 Business interruption pays your lost revenue and employees' salaries when disaster shuts you down, plus covers temporary facilities while you rebuild.
Born and raised in Fort Wayne, Indiana, Dave Barr moved to Washington State in his late 20s and is the Founder/CEO of Barr Asset Management. Dave started his career in the financial industry at age 24 working in an agency and then transitioned as an independent practitioner in his 30s. His entry into the field began with a desire to do proper planning & financial management for himself.

His professional acumen has led clients to describe him with words such as: “integrity”, “kind & caring”, “sound & timely advice” and “a man that I'd trust daily with my personal checking account”. Although a solo practitioner, Dave believes that Barr Asset Management must be bigger than, more than just himself. As a result, his professional development has been enhanced by a collaboration with other advisors across the United States:Dave is a Registered Investment Advisor representative holding a Series 65 license which allows him to manage investments and provide one-stop financial services to his clients across the Pacific Northwest and several other regions in the U.S. Early in his career, Dave received the Chartered Life Underwriter (CLU) designation conferred by The American College and is currently enrolled in studies for the Chartered Financial Consultant (ChFC) designation.Dave and his wife, Sarah have been married for 30 years, they have 10 children and, presently, 14 grandchildren.
