In this episode, I chat with psychoanalysts Avgi Saketopoulou and Ann Pellegrini about their new book, Gender Without Identity. We dig into how gender isn't some fixed core identity but something shaped by cultural interactions, and yeah, sometimes trauma. Avgi and Ann take apart the mainstream ideas of gender, questioning the whole "core identity" thing, and instead offer a way more nuanced take that dives into the messy complexities of gender in psychoanalysis. We also take a hard look at the bullshit legislative attacks on trans people and how transness gets framed as a problem by those in power. This is a deep dive into gender theory and trauma that anyone interested in real, meaningful inclusivity needs to hear. You can follow Ann and Avgi on their websites Ann Pellegrini's Websitehttps://annpellegrini.com Avgi Saketopoulou's Websitehttps://avgisaketopoulou.com Unconscious in Translation:https://www.uitbooks.com/shop/gender-without-identity  Little District Books:https://www.littledistrictbooks.com/products/gender-without-identity My thoughts on the bookThis book challenges the idea that gender is fixed or inherent, instead showing how it's shaped by trauma and cultural experiences. It's dense and complex, but it dives into important questions we need to be asking about how gender forms. Saketopoulou and Pellegrini do an excellent job of pushing beyond conventional thinking. It's not a light read, but for those who care about really understanding the intersection of gender and trauma, it's well worth the effort. The psychoanalytic approach might sometimes feel heavy, but the depth they go into pays off. If you're looking for a book that challenges the mainstream understanding of gender identity and forces you to confront the uncomfortable realities of how we construct gender, Gender Without Identity is one to pick up. It's thought-provoking and timely for anyone who's serious about moving these conversations forward.

In this week's episode, I am delighted to welcome Avgi Sakatopoulou and Ann Pelligrini to the podcast. Avgi and Ann, psychoanalysts and professors at NYU, tackle one of the most hot-button cultural/health issues raging in the United States of America—how one forms their gender identity—in a new book, GENDER WITHOUT IDENTITY.The award-winning psychoanalysts challenge the argument widely embraced by rights activists and members of the LGBTQ+ community that gender identity is innate and immutable. Dismissing the notion of core gender identity as simplistic, problematic, and potentially harmful to LGBTQ+ people, the authors propose instead that gender is something we all acquire—through our ongoing development, family history, and life experiences, which sometimes include trauma.      AVGI SAKETOPOULOU (she/her) trained as clinical psychologist in New York after emigrating from Greece and Cyprus, and subsequently completed training as a psychoanalyst at the New York University Postdoctoral Program in Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis, where she currently teaches. She also serves on the faculty of the William Alanson White Institute, the Stephen Mitchell Relational Center, and the National Institute for Psychotherapies, where she offers courses on psychosexuality and gender. Her interview on psychoanalysis is on the collection of the Freud Museum in Vienna and she is the 2022 recipient of the Scholarship Award from the American Psychological Association's Division of Psychoanalysis.  Dr. Saketopoulou is also the author of Sexuality Beyond Consent: Risk, Race, Traumatophilia (NYU Press, 2023).ANN PELLEGRINI (they/them; she/her) is Professor of Performance Studies & Social and Cultural Analysis at New York University, teaching classes on queer theory and psychoanalysis, among other topics, as well as a psychoanalyst in private practice. They are the author/co-author of three previous books, including “You Can Tell Just by Looking” and 20 Other Myths about LGBT Life and People, co-authored with Michael Bronski and Michael Amico (Beacon Press, 2013), which was a finalist for the 2014 Lambda Literary Award for Best LGBT Non-Fiction. Dr. Pellegrini has also co-edited two anthologies and is founding co-editor of the “Sexual Cultures” series at NYU Press. It has been my honor and pleasure to have Avgi and Ann join me, and I know, my listeners, that you will enjoy the episode. If you wish to connect with Avgi or Ann, check out his website and social media links below. Avgi SaketopoulouWebsite: https://www.avgisaketopoulou.com/Ann PellegriniLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ann-pellegrini-7030b6124/ A special thank you to my listeners for joining me on this journey.

Abby and Patrick welcome psychoanalyst Avgi Saketopoulou and psychoanalyst and academic Ann Pellegrini to discuss their new co-authored book, Gender Without Identity. They talk about the genesis of the manuscript, from its beginnings in a painful case of child analysis to its distressing reception by psychoanalytic gatekeepers and “repressive forces within psychoanalysis itself.” They explore the difficulties queer and trans patients have faced in seeking psychoanalytic treatment; the resistances of institutional psychoanalysis when it comes to theorizing queer subjectivities; the struggles of queer and trans analysts themselves; and the implication of psychoanalysis in broader moral panics and political mobilizations against trans people. They discuss how theory is never just abstract, but bears upon urgent questions of care; the power and fantasies of rhetorical appeals to “protect” children; and how to conceive of gender as an experiment rather than an essential given or a predetermined teleology. Finally, Avgi and Ann offer a provocative approach to thinking about what trauma is and does, including questions of “traumatophobia” and the challenging ways trauma can be theorized and experienced in relation to gendered formations of all sorts.Gender Without Identity is here: https://bookshop.org/p/books/gender-without-identity-ann-pellegrini/20606066Avgi's recent book Sexuality Beyond Consent: Risk, Race, Traumatophilia is here: https://bookshop.org/p/books/sexuality-beyond-consent-risk-race-traumatophilia-avgi-saketopoulou/18390655?ean=9781479820252Ann's book Performance Anxiety: Staging Psychoanalysis, Staging Race is here: https://bookshop.org/p/books/performance-anxieties-staging-psychoanalysis-staging-race-ann-pellegrini/9006711?ean=9780415916868Have you noticed that Freud is back?

With his ambitious goal of hitting a billion dollars in holdings before he turns 30, Allon is an inspiring testament to dreaming big and working hard. Allon shares his journey over the last 20 years, his successful real estate business, and the incredible New Year's eve bash he hosted, you might just find yourself inspired to dream a little bigger.Allon's success isn't by sheer luck, it's a result of calculated decisions and a knack for finding opportunities where others don't. He has honed his ability to identify distressed assets, turn them into profitable investments, and make a killing in markets like Arkansas and Houston, Texas. But the road to riches hasn't always been smooth. Listen as Allon opens up about his past chasing shiny objects, and how this journey has shaped him into the successful real estate investor he is today. Yet, Allon's vision goes beyond just making money.

Holy hell, do we have a PIPING HOT EPISODE for you! When previous guest Avgi Saketopoulou and her partner Ann Pellegrini (both practicing psychoanalysts and faculty members at NYU) received an award for an academic article they co-authored, they were thrilled to find out that their paper would be published in a prestigious journal. They spent the following year working closely with the editors to revise their article for publication...only to be told at the last minute that they would be required to remove parts that the journal deemed "too political." Instead of bowing to pressure, Avgi and Ann decided to expand upon their thesis and publish it as a book, thereby making their work accessible to laypeople as well as academics. In this riveting conversation, Avgi and Ann discuss their controversial argument: that queer and trans people are not, to quote Lady Gaga, "born this way," but rather that any number of outside factors (including trauma) *can* affect and inform our sexuality/gender. It's a truly liberating, paradigm-shifting discussion about how we as queer people police ourselves as a result of (justified) fear that our words will be weaponized against us. And most importantly, we finally get to the bottom of the eternal question: *did* seeing the movie Mannequin as a child make Lauren gay??Follow Avgi and Ann on Instagram at @avgolis98 and @apell168 respectively.

Given the failures of affirmative consent, how can we develop a better more nuanced framework that both embraces the messiness of sex and attends to the ways in which intimacy makes us uniquely vulnerable? What is the insatiable will that drives us to seek 'more and more' in our intimate encounters and aesthetic experiences? In what ways does play allow us to straddle the line between the real and the fictive so as to stir up the unconscious and trouble simplistic dualities such as normative understandings of Eros and Thanatos? How could a form of ethical sadism serve to guide our erotic relations so as to enable us to flirt with danger and play with limits?

Diving into our second segment in our series on Avgi Saketopoulou's “Sexuality Beyond Consent: Risk, Race, Traumatophilia”, we take you through the first chapter: "To Suffer Pleasure: Limit Experience and Transgression". What is the nature between desire and disgust? Where does perversity first arise, and what does it mean to seek experiences of overwhelm rather than shrink from them? Even more radically, what political potentialities can we find within the experience of self shattering as a force that detranslates the stubborn meanings of the ego? We hope you continue to enjoy delving into this difficult text with us to challenge even some of our most dearly held notions.

Today's guest is Dr Avgi Skatepolou, author of “Sexuality Beyond Consent; Risk, Race and Traumatophilia”. Avgi maintains that society has become overly focused on healing trauma and needs to reroute its attention to what subjects do with their trauma. She calls attention to a series of challenging questions: Why is sexuality beyond consent worth risking, and how does risk become a way of engaging with the opaque parts of ourselves? And in what ways does eliminating risk remove the potential for erotic transformation? Agvi draws unexpected links between ideas that are so often seen at odd within one another; cruelty and care, sadism and ethics, trauma and expansion, and perversion and purity. Avgi writes about ideas typically relegated to the morbid, dark and unspeakable and sheds light on their potentially transformative powers, something she refers to as ‘erotic astonishment.' Blending philosophy, queer theory, and race theory with her extensive experience in practice as an analyst, she proposes that accepting the strange within, not to master trauma but to rub against it, may open people up to encounters with the enigmatic, astounding and unique forms of care.

Have you ever had an experience that you did not consent to but that was enjoyable, transformational, or even pleasurable? This week Leigh (@lshfoster) and Ellie (@elliebrigida) hang out with Dr. Avgi Saketopoulou (@avgolis98), queer psychoanalyst and author of Sexuality Beyond Consent: Risk, Race, Traumatophilia, to discuss queering consent. As part of our discussion, Avgi shares stories of times when clients experienced events outside of their consent, including in sexual situations.  Consent is a very nuanced topic, but it tends not to be talked about that way. We do not live in a vacuum and as such consent can be messier than people tend to want to consider. For example, think about our favorite, Teenage Bounty Hunters. When Sterling gathers her courage and kisses April, she doesn't ask for her consent first, and knowing April it probably would not have gone over too well if she had. Even though April may not have consented to this kiss, she finds that she enjoys it. This is a transformational experience for the two of them, and it happens outside of the realm of consent.  As queer people, we have quite a good amount of experience of running opposite to societal norms. We step beyond our comfort zones just to exist in a heteronormative world. As such, we tend to better understand that many transformational experiences rely on our willingness to step beyond safety. Even so, we tend to still prize consent in a way that is more fantasy than reality. It is just not nearly as cut and dry when applied to real life situations.  Follow along on Twitter: Lez Hang Out (@lezhangoutpod) and answer our Q & Gay at the end of every episode.

We are thrilled to present our first episode of a series working through Avgi Saketopoulou's brilliant “Sexuality Beyond Consent: Risk, Race, Traumatophilia”—a text so meaty that this episode does not make it past its introduction. In the vein of Oliver Davis and Tim Dean's “Hatred of Sex” that we covered last season, “Sexuality Beyond Consent” speaks to a society that has become obsessed and terrified of trauma, rational subjects looking both to shield ourselves from any possible experiences that could create it and to heal and eliminate any of it that has already gotten inside us. Avgi Saketopoulou presents us with an alternative: subjects that are always opaque to ourselves and with trauma that is never inert or erased, for whom experiences of overwhelm can open ourselves up to confrontations with that opaqueness in us, and with them strange new possibilities. We could not be more excited to submit ourselves to this incredible work and see what arises from the encounter in the weeks to come.Grab a copy of “Sexuality Beyond Consent” for yourself from NYUPress to follow along!Into song is "Bless You" by "The Ink Spots" Get access to full bonus episodes, an exclusive RSS feed, and more by subscribing our Patreon!

We have a conversation with psychoanalyst Avgi Saketopoulou that is truly unlike *anything* we've ever broached before. Avgi's new book is called "Sexuality Beyond Consent," and if that title makes you a tad uncomfortable...that's kind of the point. Avgi's work gives new meaning to the idea of "risky" sex by exploring the eroticism around shame, humiliation, and objectification, with a particular focus on the controversial sexual roleplay fetish known as race play. She guides us through an incredibly nuanced conversation about "finding the erotic in the domain of the traumatic" (an experience that can be both frightening *and* exhilarating), and explains how, especially when it comes to queer sex, "we are both fenced in, and fencing ourselves in." Avgi is absolutely BRILLIANT, and we are so grateful that she was game to dive into this very complicated (but equally fascinating) territory!(TW: explicit sexual acts; discussion of race play, and accompanying discussion of Jeremy O. Harris' "Slave Play")Check out Avgi's website at https://www.avgisaketopoulou.com/, and follow her on Instagram at @avgolis98.

In this week's episode, I am thrilled to welcome to the podcast, the lovely Dr. Avgi Saketopoulou, PsyD, a Psychoanalyst, from her home in New York. NYU's Avgi Saketopoulou explores some riveting questions in her new book, Sexuality Beyond Consent. Rather than buy into the notion that trauma can be cured, she reroutes our attention to what traumatized subjects do with their pain. Concerned with forms of sexuality that lay beyond consent, Avgi discusses why such sexuality may be worth risking and explains how risk can become a way of soliciting the future. She argues that those who surrender to the fact that their pain cannot be eliminated can sometimes do things with trauma. Central to the transformational possibilities of trauma is a queer form of consent, limit consent, that is not about guarding the self but about risking experience.The erotics of racism offer a paradigmatic example of how what is proximal to a violation may become an unexpected site of flourishing. The book concludes by theorizing currents of sadism that, when pursued ethically, can animate unique forms of interpersonal and social care.It has been my pleasure to have Avgi join me, and I know, my listeners, that you will enjoy the episode. Enjoy the episode, and a special thank you to my listeners for joining me on this journey. If you wish to connect with Avgi, you can check out his website links below. Website: https://avgisaketopoulou.com/Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/avgolis98/Please, head to Amazon or Takealot at the link and get your copy of my E-book or paperback book edition, Ray of Light, and please leave me a rating and review.

Avgi Saketopoulou is a psychoanalyst and professor who works with transgender kids and their families. Rather than buy into the notion that trauma can be cured, she reroutes our attention to what traumatized subjects do with their pain. Those who surrender to the fact that their pain cannot be eliminated, she argues, are sometimes able to do things with trauma. In this radical alternative to thinking about racialization, consent, and trauma, Avgi dares us to step into a different territory, where we do not guard the self but risk experience. On her website, she describes her work in the following terms: "In my office, located in Union Square, I treat children -as young as age 3- adults, couples, and polycules. I work with a wide array of issues, such as trauma, anxiety, depression, and relationship difficulties, and have extensive experience with variant genders, in both children and adults, and queer sexualities. My practice includes a racially and ethnically diverse range of individuals. ​ I trained as a clinical psychologist in NY after having moved to the United States from Greece and Cyprus. I subsequently completed training as a psychoanalyst at the New York University Postdoctoral Program in Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis. ​As part of my academic work, I teach at the NYU PostDoctoral Program in Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis. I am also on the faculties of several other psychoanalytic institutes, such as the William Alanson White Institute, the New York Psychoanalytic Institute, the Stephen Mitchell Relational Center, and the National Institute for the Psychotherapies, where I offer intersectionally-informed courses on psyhosexuality and gender. I also contribute to my field by publishing my own research; by serving on the editorial boards of several academic journals; by leading study groups; and by supervising colleagues' clinical work. In October 2021, I co-chaired the inaugural conference "Laplanche in the States: the Sexual and the Cultural", the first US-based event dedicated to the work of Jean Laplanche (for more information, visit www.laplancheinthestates.com) I am also co-executor of the Muriel Dimen Literary Estate which administers Dr. Dimen's archive, as well as the Muriel Dimen Prize -through Div 39- and the Muriel Dimen Grant -through NYU Postdoc."

Check it out below:   00:00 Allon Avgi: As long as the deal is good, the money's out there. The market dictates whether you're going to do well or not with your deal, right? You can handle everything. You can handle to the best of your ability. Leasing, renovations, all that good stuff, right? Financing. But the market at the end of the day, dictates how well your product's going to do if you do everything else correctly. If you do everything else incorrectly, there's no question you're going to fail, right? That's not even a discussion. But if you do it all right, the market's going to tell you your feedback. 00:29 Intro: Welcome to the How to Scale Commercial Real Estate Show. Whether you are an active or passive investor, we'll teach you how to scale your real estate investing business into something big. 00:41 Sam Wilson: Allon Avgi is a 26-year-old entrepreneur buying and repositioning properties across the country. They currently have over 70 million in assets under management. Allon, welcome to the show. 00:52 Allon Avgi: Hey, man. Thanks for having me. 00:54 Sam Wilson: Absolutely. Allon, there's three questions I ask every question. Who comes to the show in 90 seconds or less? Can you tell me where did you start? Where are you now, and how did you get there? 01:02 Allon Avgi: I started at 21 years old. I was a student at Hofstra University in Long Island, New York. I started with a dollar and a dream, bought a house in Westbury hard money loan, 12% interest, two points going in. I just got started with that house started rolling from there. 01:19 Learned how seller financing worked. Ended up getting a couple owners to hold mortgages for me. Thereafter, I learned about syndications and raising. That was my like, big ticket item for my first bigger deal. I began getting into new developments, building the teams one brick at a time, baby. And now I've got 70 million AUM. 01:37 I've got a solid, fantastic team, 25 full-time people, and we're scaling rapid fire. It's a lot of people for the light amount of AUM we have. So I have the infrastructure to go to a billion dollars as we speak. 01:49 Sam Wilson: Wow, that's a lot of moving pieces. Did you grow up in an entrepreneurial family? Was there a mentor along the way that just kind of showed you the ropes? Or is this just something that just comes to you naturally? 02:00 Allon Avgi: So very entrepreneurial family is a great question because naturally that's what everyone would expect, right? It's you don't just roll like that. My parents came to America about twenty, twenty and eight years ago when I was a little boy, and my father didn't speak any English. 02:16 So when he got off the boat, he was just learning the trades. He started working as a construction guy. They used to pick him up daily and he would do day labor stuff. He used to deliver mattresses. My mom used to sell mattresses at a local furniture store. And one thing led to the next, they ended up saving up enough money to buy a van. 02:36 The van turned into a moving business. The moving business turned into a furniture store. And then my parents had a furniture store that I grew up watching them work and sell and be part of retail got crushed in '08 . And as Wayfair, Amazon, overstock got stronger and my parents wanted out. So when I built my real estate business, they ended up leaving and they both came to join me. 03:00 Sam Wilson: Wow. That's that's really cool. I love the hustle there. There's no, I mean, for, I guess for some people there's probably the golden ticket. But for anybody that, that's building something ground up, there's just no easy way to do it besides just grind it out. I mean, and you watched your parents do it. What were some of the things you felt like you learned growing up, watching them work a furniture store? 03:21 Allon Avgi: Well, I, I learned how to talk to people. That was a big one. Many people in this new era have a challenge talking to people and getting to the point or closing the deal. You know, it's like, what do you want from me? 03:32 Right? When people start talking to me and they're like I'm a New Yorker at this point, I'm a tough New Yorker. I love Memphis. But when I go to these places and people start talking to me and like trying to figure something out, I'm like, what do you want? Just tell me what you want and then we could see if we can get there, you know? 03:48 Sam Wilson: I like that. I like the learning to talk to people. Yeah. It's funny, man. The tough New Yorker you get in the south, you know, here in Memphis. And that is something that even for me, having a lot of family from the south when we moved down here, took me a little bit to get used to. Cause it will take eight to 10 minutes of... even when family calls me, they talk for 10 minutes before they actually tell you what they called you about. And I'm like, come on, what'd you call me for? But still figuring those nuances out, working in the furniture store is, I mean, you learn from an early age, like you said, how to close the deal. 04:17 That's a skill set that you now have ingrained. Just naturally that you know, , you'll never lose that. So that's really awesome. You bought a house, hard money loan, 12 points or 12%? Two, two points upfront. How did you convince the hard money lender that you were capable of making the deal happen? 04:37 Allon Avgi: Well, you know what? But before we go into that, back to the furniture store, there were a lot of nuances and tiny little things that I didn't realize back then that were so impactful today. 04:47 Sam Wilson: Please. 04:47 Allon Avgi: And for example, when I was a kid, my parents were like, you wanna make money? Sell furniture. That's the only way you're gonna make money, you know, through here cuz we don't have money to give you and we're not going to give you money, even if we did. So I used to go to the store, I used to talk to people as a 12, 13, 14 year old and try and pitch them on a bed frame, a mattress, a headboard. You know, a dresser and if I closed a deal, I would get 5% commission. So those are good times. And then I ended up figuring out, I'm a kid. It's tough to sell as a young guy because people don't take you as seriously so I built websites around furniture and I used to bring in the furniture from different manufacturers. Nobody knew how old I was back then. Right? Cause nobody knows how old you are behind a computer screen. And this was before the Wayfair era, so I used to bring in this furniture. I would repackage it at the store. I would end up putting it on a FedEx truck, a UPS truck. This was all hand delivered type of thing. Back then, I would call UPS, I'd order it online. Get the truck in the dimensions and everything. Now everything's much more streamlined. Back then it wasn't. And I would drop ship furniture across the country and the things I would learn is like, price better than your competition if you're offering the same product, right? So today, and I'm buying an apartment complex wherever, right? Let's say I bought 67 units in in Cabo, Arkansas. Right next door is an apartment complex. They're charging $850 for a mid grade product. I'm putting in higher end finishes, I'm charging $875. Small bump, almost irrelevant to the average renter, but $25 more than justifies high end finishes. 06:24 So it's like those were things I learned back then If something's much better quality you can force the appreciation. Right now in Long Island, there's major players here, like Fairfield Heatherwood. These guys that I can't compete with right this second. So what I do is when I buy complexes near theirs, I I put in the same, if not greater finishes, and I'm charging less, right? Even a hundred, $200 less, it draws people in. So I stay at full occupancy, regularly. 06:52 Sam Wilson: Wow, that's cool. What great lessons to learn early on. And I like the idea of no one knows how old you are behind a computer screen, so it's like, you know what if I can't sell it to you in person, I'll sell it to you over the internet. And like you said, it just doesn't matter at that point. They're not gonna judge you based on your age. So that's really cool. Do you wanna jump then into the conversation, talking about your first deal, how you got that done, and then kind of how you transition to bigger assets? 07:18 Allon Avgi: Yes that first deal, it was found through a friend of mine at Hofstra at the time. He found the deal. He wanted to be a broker. I I went out and looked for money and looked for money. I couldn't find money anywhere. And then I knew this guy. He saw what I was posting on social media. He found credibility through that and my history. He spoke to my parents. He knew my parents, and he ended up saying, you know what? I'll give this kid a chance. And he ended up lending me money. And and that was it, and it was history from there. 07:47 Sam Wilson: What did you do with that property? 07:50 Allon Avgi: I rented it out. I still have it till this day. I didn't know about the birth strategy back then, so I didn't refinance it right away. I just sat on it and I just paid down the loan as fast as possible through the income of the property and side hustles. That's why when people gimme excuses today "Oh, but I'm busy between this and this". I'm like: "So you don't wanna do what I do?" You know, cause when I was in your shoes, when I started, I found every mode of income possible. I dropped ship furniture, I knocked on people's doors, I managed their social media accounts. I ended up. I mean, God, I was babysitting dogs, you know, like I was dogsitting. I did everything under the sun to make a couple bucks to pay off this high interest loan. So I could take that and I could go into the next deal and do something else. 08:34 Sam Wilson: Right. Oh, that's cool. That's very cool. When did you decide to start doing bigger assets? 08:41 Allon Avgi: Well, I always wanted to do bigger deals. I just didn't know how. You know, looking back today, people asked me, what would you do differently? And what I would do differently is I'd start bigger. . You know, so that's probably the only thing I'd do differently if I went back. Start much bigger. 09:00 Sam Wilson: Start much bigger. No, that's great advice. I think people often struggle overcoming the mental hurdle of like, okay, we're going bigger, but how are we gonna find the money to do it? How did you do that? 09:11 Allon Avgi: Well, you find it, right? It starts with a deal. So as long as the deal is good, the money's out there. The market dictates whether you're going to do well or not with your deal, right? You can handle everything. You can handle to the best of your ability. Leasing, renovations, all that good stuff, right? Financing. But the market at the end of the day, dictates how well your product's going to do if you do everything else correctly. If you do everything else incorrectly, there's no question you're going to fail, right? That's not even a discussion. But if you do it all right, the market's going to tell you your feedback. 09:45 Sam Wilson: How did you go out and raise capital maybe for the first deal? Tell us about that and maybe how that's changed and how you guys handle capital raising now. 09:53 Allon Avgi: The first deal I already did five projects with hard money and seller financing, and now I'm sitting with this higher net worth guy, awesome guy. Shout out Mike, investor 'till this day and good friend of mine. And I'm sitting with him and he's like: "Show me what you're doing now, kid". And I'm like: "Here, I bought five houses. This is what I'm doing. This is how it looks". And he's like: "You're paying 14% interest. 12 and 2! What are you out of your mind?" And I'm like: "What do I know? You know, like this is a good deal to me. I thought this was a good deal". And he's like: "How about I give you a million dollars and we do a couple properties with no interest, just cash, and do your thing". If you could carry a 14% interest rate, you can definitely yield me much more. If you're still making money on 14% interest, how much can you make if we're partners?" And that's what we did. And that's how I raised my first round. 10:45 Sam Wilson: Wow, a million dollar check on your first raise. That's really an exceptional story. I know that's probably not the case for many people to have that type of investor, but I mean, what a cool thing for him to see the potential in you. " Hey, man, you know, here's an open checkbook. Let's go do this". 11:03 Allon Avgi: Well, one he's also... How do I put this in nice terms so I don't offend too many people, but I'm no bitch and he's no bitch, you know? And we're talking and he's like: "How much do you wanna start? You know, what do you want? And I'm like: "Well, I'm already doing these houses. I've got a couple million in real estate through hard money. Like, I wanna start with a mil, you know? And let's start with a million dollars. And he's like: "A million dollars I can do. That's a good start. Let's do it". You know? And.. 11:30 Sam Wilson: What'd you go buy? 11:32 Allon Avgi: Easiest that a couple houses all cash. Renovated. Refinanced in a year. Got him back all his money, rolled it into another deal. 11:40 That's awesome. 11:42 Sam Wilson: Tell me, I wanna talk about two things. How you guys are finding or where you're finding opportunity right now? I know you've graduated to a few different asset classes. It sounds like, multi-family some warehousing and things like that. But how are you finding opportunity in today's environment? I mean, 2022 has changed a lot of things for a lot of investors. What's your strategy now? 12:04 Allon Avgi: I mean, I am an aggressive deal junkie. I love doing deals, you know, and I love doing great deals. So the strategies transition to no floating rate debt, nothing with short term projections anymore. We're working strictly on five year projections, no liquidity events in the near term. And we're still doing just fantastic deals. I mean, we're retrading everybody that we're under contract with. And it's working of course, because everybody understands the economic climate. If they don't, we back out. Right? There was one deal that somebody didn't, we backed out. It was all right. We parted ways. So fantastic deals. No floating rate debt and no short term projections. 12:45 Sam Wilson: I like that. That sounds really good. And you say short term projections. Five years is... Five years tends to come around quick. Are you underwriting an exit in five years? Are you underwriting holding it in perpetuity? How does your exit strategy change? 13:00 Allon Avgi: It's looking like a five year liquidity event, whether it's a refi or a hold standard. Right. But we're going on a seven year, plus one it's called, so a seven year term plus one. If we have to extend plus one if we have to extend. 13:13 Sam Wilson: Got it. Got it. That's that's exceptional. What about team? That's something I want to hear about. You know, it sounds like you've figured out pretty fast. You're a fast learner. You certainly learn a lot faster than I do. You figured out pretty fast how to grow your assets,. How to, you know, partner and find money. But then talk about team building. What was that process like for you? Who were some of the first people you brought on? And then of course, having a 25 person team for a 70 million in assets under management. It's a lot of people. You know, I know you said you guys are poised, you're kind of positioning your team before you buy the assets. So give us kind of that full breakdown. When I say team, what does that mean to you? 13:48 Allon Avgi: Okay, well, I'm all about the team. Everybody says that. Everybody knows that. You know, but what I think that they don't really grasp is that you have to be quick to let people go. It takes me a while to bring somebody on. I'm very picky with my people. I'm very picky. Oh, it's almost crazy. It's almost insulting how picky I am with people that come around and I'm so fast to cut them off, and what's the word I'm looking for? Unapologetic. You know, so I've swapped maybe 10 people in my office like that. On the drop of a dime. You say something outta place, you act outta place. I feel a little bit of negativity out. Don't want it. I need positive. I need positive people around me. I need good energy. We're building a billion dollar company at the moment, multi-billion down the line. I need that kind of energy in the door and intelligent. 14:41 How do you go about vetting? You say you're super picky. What's your process for acquiring talent? I look for track record, I look for connections. I look for intelligence, right? I run disc tests on people, and then I run basically excel modeling tests on people. Now I have a really good infrastructure of people with me that are also absolutely brilliant. So they gauge who we bring through the door as well, and that's been instrumental in picking who we're taking on next because there's an environment and energy that we need to sustain. 15:14 Sam Wilson: What about positioning your team for growth? I know you said you're shooting to have a billion under assets under management by the time you're 30. Bringing on that team and positioning your team ahead of the growth curve, how do you hire for that? 15:30 Allon Avgi: Sam, that's probably the best question you've asked me. 15:32 Sam Wilson: Well, I'm sorry if all the rest of them sucked, but... 15:35 Allon Avgi: No, they weren't bad. But that is a great question and let me tell you why. Because as the operator, as the person that did it, it's hard for you to put in other people's eyes, right? For them to see your vision. It's hard for you to explain to them your vision and have them execute to go big, right? Cause a lot of people are scared of going big. 15:59 Sam Wilson: Sure. 16:01 Allon Avgi: How do you enable them to go big? And I can't answer that question. I'm still trying to figure that out. That's been one of my biggest struggles. My biggest pain points right now is we're at 70 million, we're about to put another 25 million under contract as we speak. How do we double that in the next quarter? And that's scary to other people cuz they're thinking, you know, it took you five years to get to 70. I have you know, zero. So, how are we gonna get to a hundred in, you know, one 15th of the timeframe? 16:34 Sam Wilson: Yeah. But momentum, momentum begets more momentum. It's like a snowball. It's like, you know, it takes a while to get the initial ball going. And then after that, it seems to go a lot faster. And it seems to happen suddenly, like, oh my gosh, this thing got really big, really fast. But that's part of the process, I think. But my question more was strategic in the sense that, hey, we're gonna go big. How do you know who to bring on the team ahead of that going big? 17:02 Allon Avgi: I mean, it's pretty easy, right? You want people that have been part of those environments before. So I've been poaching people and I don't know a better way to answer that question. You kind of gotta be rough around the edges. You gotta take people from places that have done it so they can do it with you. 17:19 Sam Wilson: Well, and there's nothing wrong with that. It's there's, we're launching a business right now and not that I poached them, but they were employees at another company. And it's a non-real estate related business, but I saw 'em and it said: "You guys are awesome at what you do. You're just employees here. Why don't you go start your own thing. I'll help you launch it". You know, and they're like: "Hey, cool, let's go do it". Nobody got poached. But at the same time, they're employees and it's like, you know, there's not a lifelong contract to work at a particular location. It's just, you're talented and the grass is greener over here. Come with us and join our team and let's go do something. 17:52 Allon Avgi: So how many people do you have on your team? 17:54 Sam Wilson: That's a great question. I don't even know cuz we're involved in so many different asset classes and different projects. I mean, every team is a little bit different. You know, we can get into that later though. Let's see, what else do I wanna ask you here? If I missed anything here, Alon that I should have asked you? Things that you say "Hey, you know, this is something really relevant that we're working on right now. That's cool, that's fun that I'd really love your listeners to". 18:18 Allon Avgi: I think you did great. I think you're awesome. I'm just doing deals, baby. I'm just rocking. 18:23 Sam Wilson: Rocking and rolling. I love it. Allon, thank you for taking the time to come on the show today. I certainly appreciate it. Learn so much from you. I love the hustle. I mean, learning the hustle at an early age speaks to my heart. It's something that I like you grew up with and I think learning the hustle at an early age is just an invaluable skill set that you'll carry the rest of your life. I love the momentum you develop. I mean, you're 26, obviously, you know, you've done great things and you've made it a lot further than a lot of other people have. And I just love the vision that you're carrying for with your company. So well done. Certainly appreciate coming on today, sharing your insights with us. 18:54 If our listeners wanna get in touch with you or learn more about you, what is the best way to do that? 18:59 Allon Avgi: Social media at Allon Avgi. I'm there. I always answer. 19:03 Sam Wilson: Fantastic. And for those of you who are listening, if you're curious, that's A L O N. A V G I. So @Allon Avgi. Alon, thank you again for coming on today.

What does a box of strawberries -at the Greeκ Nuclear Center "Demokritos" in 1986- have to do with a diplomatic bath in the cold waters of Palomares in 1966? They were both used by political leaders and scientists to manage the world's panic after two nuclear accidents; in Chernobyl and in Palomares. In both cases scientists and diplomats did not use scientific arguments. Instead they bet their own lives to persuade that radiation did not pose high risks.
