From $500 to an 8-Figure Portfolio with Andres Bernal In this powerful episode of the REIGN: Real Estate Investor Growth Network podcast, host Jen Josey sits down with Dominican-born investor and entrepreneur Andres Bernal. From landing in New York with just $500 to building a $12 million real estate portfolio, Andres shares the raw, unfiltered truth about what it takes to succeed in real estate investing. His journey from professional tennis player to full-time investor is packed with grit, resilience, and strategic growth. Andres dives deep into his early days of house hacking with an FHA loan, navigating immigration challenges, and learning hard lessons through tenant issues, failed flips, and even a $107,000 loss on a single deal. Rather than quitting, he used those setbacks as tuition in the "school of real estate." He explains how discipline from professional sports translated into business success—and why coaching, mentorship, and relationships are critical to long-term growth. The conversation covers multiple investing strategies, including Section 8 rentals, student housing near universities like Yale University and University of New Haven, and scaling a flipping business in a competitive market. Andres also shares why he's laser-focused on entry-level homes under $450K, how he flips 25–30 houses per year with zero marketing spend, and why predictable profits beat flashy luxury projects every time. 00:00 Welcome to REIGN: What to Expect From the Show 00:41 Jen's "Badassery Bestowment": 5 Time Management Hacks for Investors 03:49 Meet Andres Bernal: From $500 to an 8-Figure Portfolio 05:28 Starting Over in New York: The First Job Breakthrough 07:54 Legacy Pressure & Choosing Your Own Path 08:51 Tennis Lessons That Translate to Real Estate (and a $107K Loss) 10:48 Why Every Investor Needs a Coach (Even If It Pays Off Later) 12:18 First Deal in 2016: FHA House Hack, Tenant Stories, and Early Lessons 15:01 How to Buy Real Estate With Little/No Money: Creativity, Partners & Seller Finance 17:36 Immigrant Challenges, Visas, and Building Trust in Business 21:24 The Messy Middle: Cash-for-Keys, Contractor Stress, and Outworking the Market 24:21 Section 8 Reality Check: Inspections, Rent Growth, and Common Myths 27:40 How to Place Section 8 Tenants + The "More Bedrooms" Rent Hack 29:55 Student Housing 101: Leasing Cycles, Parents Co-Sign, and Maintenance Strategy 32:05 One Lease, One Team: Avoiding Room-by-Room Drama in Student Rentals 33:31 Student Rentals: Regulation Risks, Vacancy, and Why Demand Still Wins 35:39 How to Pick a Winning Student Rental: Walkability + Enrollment Growth Data 37:30 Scaling Up Flips: 25+ Deals a Year and Why Liquidity Matters 40:59 Finding Deals & Defining the Buy Box: MLS vs Wholesalers vs Relationships 42:16 Why Entry-Level Flips Beat Luxury: Faster Sales, Lower Holding Costs, "Hotel" Deals 47:42 The $107K Loss Breakdown: Auction Mistakes, Barn Decision, and High Water Table Hell 51:18 Where to Follow Andres + The "BADASS" Lightning Round (Books, Advice, Drive, Goals) 56:11 Systems, Success, and Closing: Morning Routine, Team Leverage, Book Plug & Farewell 5 Key Takeaways from This Episode Start Small, Think Big: Andres house hacked his first triplex using an FHA loan and a small family loan—proving you don't need massive capital to get started in real estate investing. Relationships Beat Marketing: He flips 25–30 properties per year with $0 in marketing by nurturing agent and wholesaler relationships and consistently submitting 20–25 offers per week. Section 8 Is Not "Guaranteed" Money: While Section 8 can provide steady rent and annual increases, landlords must pass inspections and adapt to evolving regulations to protect cash flow. Student Housing Is a Hidden Goldmine: By targeting universities with growing enrollment and staying within walking distance, Andres creates high-demand rentals with parent co-signers and predictable income. Predictable > Flashy: Entry-level homes under $450K generate more consistent profits and faster exits than luxury flips in today's higher-interest-rate market. Guest Bio: Andres Bernal Andres Bernal is a Dominican-born real estate investor, entrepreneur, and founder of Sky Circle Homes. A former professional tennis player, Andres immigrated to the United States with just $500 and built an 8-figure real estate portfolio through house hacking, strategic flipping, and long-term rental acquisitions. Since purchasing his first property in 2016, Andres has completed more than 50 flips, owns 60+ rental units across Section 8, student housing, and traditional rentals, and has grown a $12 million portfolio with over $5 million in net equity. He is passionate about helping first-time investors, immigrant entrepreneurs, and aspiring real estate professionals build wealth through smart, relationship-driven investing.

Everyone says, “Just be more confident.”...But no one tells you how confidence actually gets built—especially when you're a quiet leader in a high-stakes environment....In this Badass Debrief, I'm breaking down the real lesson from last week's conversation with leadership strategist Traci Austin—and translating it into something you can actually use.This episode isn't a recap....It's the reframe most women miss....We're talking about:Why confidence doesn't come before opportunity—it comes after evidenceHow self-doubt shows up when your brain forgets your winsThe hidden cost of waiting to “feel ready”Why awareness often feels like insecurity (but is actually executive-level thinking)How to start building confidence without changing who you are...If you've ever thought:“I know I'm capable… but I hesitate”“I freeze when it's time to speak up”“I need to feel more confident before I go for it”This episode will change how you see yourself—and how you move next....

291 - From Cubicles to Closings: Mike Doherty's Path to Real Estate Success   Jen Josey hosts the REIGN podcast and shares a "Badassery Bestowment" on why every listing needs a professional photographer, citing five reasons: more clicks and offers, selling a lifestyle, protecting price, standing out in a crowded market, and saving time and stress. She then interviews Mike Doherty, a Connecticut-based full-time real estate investor, realtor, entrepreneur, co-founder of Skytree Investments, and host of the Sky's the Limit Podcast. Mike describes his path from a finance job after graduating from the University of Connecticut in 2015 to real estate investing, including learning through BiggerPockets, house hacking a duplex, and scaling by using the BRRRR method after running out of capital. He discusses misconceptions new investors face, emphasizes taking action, using meetups to build confidence and connections, and explains creative financing strategies such as seller financing and subject-to deals, including an example with 10% down, 4% interest, 40-year amortization, and a 10-year balloon. Mike shares a favorite deal involving raising the full down payment, selling after one year, and completing a 1031 exchange into a seller-financed five-unit property. He explains OPM approaches, partnerships and joint ventures, friends-and-family capital, and the importance of track record and some skin in the game. Mike outlines his move from W2 work to becoming a full-time realtor by lowering living expenses through house hacking, and he shares his BADASS answers: key books (Rich Dad Poor Dad, Who Not How, Never Split the Difference), best advice (take action), his drive (generational wealth and financial freedom), a goal of reaching 200 doors before age 35 (currently at 100), systems (assistant/transaction coordinator, Follow Up Boss CRM, calendar, and morning routine), and his definition of success as enough passive income to support his lifestyle.    00:00 Welcome to REIGN: What to Expect on the Podcast 01:02 Badassery Tip: Why Pro Photos Sell Listings (5 Reasons) 03:24 Meet Mike Doherty: Investor, Realtor & Podcast Host 04:46 From Finance Cubicle to First House Hack Duplex 08:49 Early Landlord Lessons & Misconceptions to Unlearn 11:32 Take the First Step: Beating Analysis Paralysis with Action 14:17 Scaling Up: Running Out of Cash & Learning the BRRRR Method 16:59 Creative Financing Deep Dive: Seller Finance, Sub-to & Balloons 20:57 Favorite Deals & Partnering Up Using Other People's Money 21:33 Raising the Down Payment + 1031 Into Seller Financing (5-Unit Deal) 23:00 What He'd Do Differently: OPM Sooner & BRRRR After the First Duplex 24:18 Flip vs Hold: Wealth-Building Mindset, Leverage, and Today's Market Risk 25:36 OPM Playbook: Partners, Private Money Terms, JVs & Structuring Deals 27:21 Friends & Family Funding + Skin in the Game (Even Teachers Have Money) 29:16 His Business Today: Full-Time Realtor, Investor Niche, Flips/Wholesale to Buy Rentals 31:40 Sky's the Limit Podcast + The "BADASS" Rapid-Fire Segment Begins 32:39 Books & Advice: Rich Dad, Poor Dad, Who Not How, Never Split the Difference + Take Action 35:46 Drive, Goals & Systems: Generational Wealth, 200 Doors, Assistants, CRM, Morning Routine 39:46 Defining Success + Where to Find Mike (Podcast, IG, Website) 41:12 Wrap-Up & Show Outro: Subscribe, Follow, and Join REIGN

Travis Chappell delivers a solo masterclass on gaining influence—the essential skill for entrepreneurs, networkers, and anyone looking to close more deals or build authority. Drawing from Robert Cialdini's Influence, his podcast booking agency that hit $1M in 8 months, and years of relationship-building, Travis shares three proven paths to become undeniably influential without gimmicks or scams. On this episode we talk about: Why "be interested, not interesting" is half the networking equation—becoming a person of interest first "Badass bullets": How unique accomplishments (ultras, stadium tours, epic feats) make you a must-interview guest Value = influence: Give practical advice, entertainment, or insights to earn trust and obedience Examples from Gary Vee, MrBeast, and The Rock—how consistent value creation turns into massive business wins The power of frequency over volume: Short-form consistency builds long-term trust faster than you think Top 3 Takeaways Become a person of interest—stack unique life experiences (adventures, feats, stories) so others evangelize you naturally. Deliver value relentlessly; it doesn't have to be profound—entertainment or quick wins create loyal followers who act on your word. Stay consistent over time; frequency breeds trust, turning one-off interactions into lifelong influence. Notable Quotes "Value equals influence. The more value that you give, the more influence that you have." "People who do really interesting, cool things... become the evangelists for them just by very nature." "Be interested, not interesting... [but] being interesting is actually still a really valuable piece of the equation."

Think you need one more certification, one more year, or one more sign before you go after the role you want?Think again.In this episode of Ordinary to Badass, I'm joined by leadership coach and HR expert Traci Austin for a powerful conversation about confidence, self-doubt, and why so many high-performing women underestimate their own qualifications.This is real, practical career advice for women in predominantly male industries who are tired of playing small, waiting to feel “ready,” and talking themselves out of opportunities they've already earned.From a live coaching role-play to mindset shifts that change everything, Traci breaks down how to separate fear from facts—and start seeing your experience, skills, and leadership potential clearly.✨ Theme: Mindset Breakthroughs + Visibility & AdvocacyWe're talking confidence, self-trust, and using smart career advice to position yourself for growth without becoming someone you're not.You'll hear:

You chose this tribe. You opted in, because you’re a Badass Agile Leader. This is the call. Time to raise your voice. You have experience, you have something to say. Your wisdom is worth something. Rather than chill on social media and bark about how bad things suck…why not DO something with that passion? With that point of view? Before we start, I want to shine a light on someone who’s actually out there delivering on the promise of Agile. Kevin Sutherland works in perhaps the most challenging environment. Public Services, or government, are complex, siloed, and mired in legacy. Kevin is holding firm, bringing real Badass Agile Leadership to state-level teams (and the taxpayers they serve). Check out Kevin Sutherland and follow his path to insititutional/large enterprise agility: Check out His State systems modernization video. Check out Kevin Sutherland on YouTube How A Badass Agile Leaders Answer the Call As I was saying, time to use your voice to lift up the entire tribe. No one is out there painting a firm vision of the future. What was written 25 years ago needs some adjusting for a modern context. Lessons learned through failure inform a new reality. A Badass Agile Leader recognizes there’s a better way that defies the pedestrian chatter. They refuse to follow the herd, yet the know innately that wisdom lives within the herd. They hold no desire on being ‘the leader’ as much as they inspire the masses to organize, and sometimes, to wake up. That’s what I love talking about now. A Badass Agile Leader knows how to stand for something, and to stand up for something. Not everyone is comfortable being seen, much less rocking the status quo. But if you’ve been following this show for any amount of time, you KNOW that change requires courage. Maybe even sacrifice, and growth. Or maybe you’d just like to be part of a new movement, from the second row or further back. This is all good. But a Badass Agile Leader hears the call right now. It’s undeniable. The old days aren’t coming back. No more calls from recruiters, no more premium rates. Unless…we do our duty and make Agile relevant to our modern context. If Agile isn’t doing the job, I know you’ve noticed. You probably have an opinion about what should be done differently. That’s your asset right now.

Check out Rental Property Pro:  https://rentalproppro.com/booking?am_id=reign    290 - Scaling Real Estate Investments with Chandra Adduri   Jen Josey kicks off this REIGN "Past Project" episode with a Badassery Bestowment on turning family and friends into private money lenders—without wrecking relationships. She walks through how to lead with education, focus on safety and clarity, keep terms simple, use professional paperwork (title company/attorney), and communicate like a CEO so lenders feel protected and respected.   Jen then welcomes first-time podcast guest Chandra Adduri, a New Jersey-based tech professional and long-time investor with an 18-property, multi-state portfolio. Chandra shares how his upbringing in India shaped his "invest in land/assets" mindset, why mentorship matters (shoutout to Rental Property Pro and John Blackburn), and how buying out of state helped him avoid the "DIY trap" that kills scalability.   The featured project is Chandra's newest acquisition: a 3 bed/2 bath beach condo in a Myrtle Beach resort community, purchased to expand into short-term rentals (STRs) and leverage STR tax advantages. He breaks down why he likes HOA amenities for competitiveness and convenience, how he financed with a specialized "condotel" loan, what he changed to stand out (colorful furniture + crisp white linens), and what it really takes to self-manage STRs—systems, fast responses, and a reliable local team. The episode wraps with Jen's BADASS acronym segment, covering Chandra's favorite book, advice, goals (including acquiring a home services business), and his definition of success: buying back time.   00:00 Introduction to REIGN and Today's Episode 00:58 Badassery Bestowment: Turning Family and Friends into Private Money Lenders 03:44 Meet Today's Guest: Chandra Adduri 04:59 Chandra's Real Estate Journey and Background 09:56 Exploring Short-Term Rentals and HOA Benefits 15:19 Financing and Furnishing a Short-Term Rental 18:30 Coffee Maker Tips and Initial Advice 18:44 Breaking Down the Numbers 19:04 Cash Flow and Tax Benefits 20:38 Long-Term vs Short-Term Rentals 21:48 Managing Short-Term Rentals 22:48 Building a Reliable Team 25:40 Future Plans and Goals 27:49 BADASS Acronym Breakdown 34:32 Final Thoughts and Success 5 key takeaways Private money works best when you educate first, not pitch first—and you protect relationships with clarity, structure, and consistent communication. Out-of-state investing can be a "self-control strategy" if you're tempted to DIY every repair; distance forces you to build a team and scale. Resort/HOA STRs can be a competitive advantage because amenities (pools, lazy river, hot tubs) help you stand out without personally managing them. STRs are hospitality, not landlording—expect constant questions, fast messaging, local-area knowledge, and SOPs for cleaners/handymen. Chandra's Myrtle Beach deal shows how STRs can be bought for cash flow and tax strategy (cost segregation + bonus depreciation), especially for high W-2 earners.

Things are heating up in the Weekly Accountability Time Management Class, and this episode is all about one of the most important topics for any working actor: how to refresh your toolkit for 2026. I have five essential points to cover that will help you align your tools with the actor you are becoming. Let's get started. Align Your Tools with the Actor You Are Becoming Every piece of your toolkit should answer one question: What are the roles that I am calling in with my tools? Your headshots, your reels, your clips, your website, your resume—they aren't random. They are signals to casting directors. They are signals to producers. They are signals to writers and directors. If your tools reflect who you were five years ago, they can't sell who you are now and who you want to become. Think about 2026 by asking yourself: Does this material tell the story of the actor I want to be booked as today and in the future? As Marianne Williamson says, we are powerful beyond measure when we act with intention. And here's a PPR quote for you: Your tools are not decoration. They are direction. Audit Your Materials Without Drama This can be challenging, so I'm just going to warn you ahead of time. Most actors avoid looking at their tools because they attach their entire self-worth to a headshot or a clip. But you cannot update what you refuse to see. Do a calm, natural review: What's working here? What feels outdated? What is missing? Look at your materials like a business owner, not a wounded teenager. Jen Sincero, author of the Badass books, says: What you choose to focus on expands. So I don't want you focusing on that wounded teenager or that wounded child. I want you to be focusing on who you are today and who you want to become—the actor you are today and the actor you want to become. Update Your Target Lists with Precision We talk about this in the weekly accountability and time management class all the time, so listen up. Your career is not the industry as a whole. Your career is a specific group of casting directors, agents, managers, and creatives who are a fit for you. Just for you. Once a month, I want you to be cleaning up your list. Remove people who no longer make sense to you anymore. Add the new shows, offices, and companies that are a match of where you want to be heading. Precision makes your outreach more effective and less emotional. Again, Jen Sincero: You're going to have to push past your comfort zone if you want to change. You can't have the career you want being the person that you are. You need to change. A vague career plan creates vague results. We don't want to be vague. Simplify Your Marketing So You Can Actually Do It Hello? If you can't actually do it, it's not good time management. An overcomplicated system will die by February. Your marketing needs to be simple enough that you can maintain it on a busy week. A basic outreach schedule. A template email. A simple tracking sheet or a simple tracking system. These things are enough. The question is not how fancy is my system and how impressive is it. The question is: Will I be able to use this when I'm tired? Gabrielle Bernstein says: When you relax, you receive. And my quote is: If your system is exhausting, it's not a system, it's a stall tactic. Ooh, ouch. Did you just go, oof? Did you just go, oh, PPR, how could you? Yeah, that's a bit of a stab in the gut. And here's a bonus: Perfectionism leads to procrastination, leads to paralysis. Commit to One Improvement Each Month Instead of trying to overhaul everything all at once, pick one upgrade per month. Maybe in one month you update headshots and you choose the best ones. Or in February or March or April or May you clean up your reel. Or in another month you're refining your resume or a website. This is one of the things I talked about in my class—putting your business on a schedule for 2026. So important to do that. So important to do that. These focused upgrades in a year will move you much further than one frantic burst that burns you out. Remember that your career is built in layers. Join the Weekly Accountability & Time Management Class If you want help with any of this, I'd love to see you in the weekly accountability and time management class. It's super affordable. It's super fun. And guess what? You get a class for free.

In 1542, a teenage French noblewoman is marooned on a frozen island off the coast of Newfoundland - deliberately abandoned by her own family, left with a failing matchlock gun, a handful of supplies, and no hope of rescue. Over the next two years, Marguerite de la Rocque watches everyone she loves die, survives brutal winters, hunts seals, and kills polar bears with a weapon that takes minutes to reload - knowing one mistake means death. This week on Badass of the Week, Ben Thompson is joined by New York Times bestselling author Allegra Goodman, whose novel Isola resurrects one of the most insane survival stories in history: a woman written off as dead who endured the Island of Demons - and came back changed forever.

In this episode, I'm talking directly to the woman who feels like she's lost herself somewhere along the way.   If you've gone through a "soft girl era," burnout, or a season where rest quietly turned into stagnation… this conversation is for you. I unpack how high-performing women often overcorrect when they're exhausted, and how that pendulum swing can disconnect us from our drive, fire, and identity. I walk through the exact mental frameworks, identity questions, and personal audits I used to reconnect with my inner badass, without swinging back into hustle, burnout, or self-punishment.   We talk about why excellence is earned, why balance is often the wrong goal, how to use strategic imbalance, and why wanting more does not make you vain, selfish, or wrong.   This episode is an invitation to stop shrinking, stop numbing, and stop pretending you don't want the life you actually want, and to start living in alignment with the woman you know you're meant to be.   In this episode, we cover: Why "soft girl era" can become a trap for high-performing women How burnout makes shrinking feel attractive The difference between rest and self-abandonment Why excellence is not an accident, it's lived How identity (not motivation) drives lasting change Using strategic imbalance instead of chasing balance Being productively self-critical without shame Why guilt around wanting more blocks growth How to ruthlessly protect your vision and desires Reconnecting with ambition, standards, and self-trust   If this episode resonates, share it with a woman who's ready to stop playing small and start becoming "her" again.

In this episode of the Real Estate Investor Growth Network Podcast, host Jen Josey welcomes back her "work husband" and REIGN Coach, Bud Evans. Bud shares his journey from a career in the military and public service to building a multimillion-dollar real estate portfolio and leading a veteran-focused property management company. The conversation is packed with actionable strategies, real-world stories, and a healthy dose of humor as Bud and Jen dive into the systems and mindsets that drive success in real estate investing.   Bud details his rigorous tenant screening process, including his unique 100-point scoring system and the integration of AI tools to streamline and safeguard property management. He emphasizes the importance of consistency, documentation, and systems—not just for legal protection, but for scaling a successful rental business. Bud also shares tips for landlords on lease clauses, maintenance responsibilities, and how to create standard operating procedures using innovative tools.   The episode wraps up with Bud's "BADASS" insights, covering his favorite books, advice, systems, and what success means to him. He offers encouragement to take action, invest in education, and serve others—values that have shaped his own journey. Listeners are invited to connect with Bud for coaching, strategy sessions, or just to soak up more of his hard-earned wisdom.   00:00 Introduction to REIGN and Host Jen Josey 00:53 Badassery Bestowment: Finding Distressed Properties on Zillow 03:22 Guest Introduction: Meet Bud Evans 06:49 Bud Evans' Journey from Military to Real Estate 11:35 Tenant Screening: Importance and Strategies 15:35 The 100-Point Tenant Screening System 21:51 Incorporating AI in Tenant Screening 22:40 Privacy and Data Redaction in Tenant Management 23:29 AI in Financial Verification 24:30 Scoring and Approval Criteria for Tenants 25:09 AI Success Stories in Tenant Screening 27:00 Impact of AI on Vacancy Rates 27:36 Property Management and Self-Management Tips 29:11 Creating Effective Leases 34:47 Speaking Engagements and YouTube Channel 37:51 Personal Goals and Success Strategies 5 Key Takeaways Distressed Property Hunting: Use Zillow's keyword search (e.g., "fixer," "as is," "needs work"), filter by days on market, monitor price drops, scrutinize listing photos, and check public records to find hidden investment opportunities. Tenant Screening Systems: Implement a 100-point scoring system covering income stability, credit, criminal background, rental history, and file completeness. Consistency and documentation are essential to avoid legal pitfalls. Integrating AI: Utilize AI tools (like ChatGPT) for analyzing tenant applications, redacting sensitive info, and verifying income-to-expense ratios. AI can catch details humans might miss and streamline decision-making. Lease & Maintenance Tips: Customize leases to your market, include clauses for property showings before move-out, set a $250 repair threshold, and require proper documentation for pets. Use tools like Scribe to document your processes. Service and Systems Drive Success: Bud credits his achievements to serving others, investing in education, and leveraging systems like EOS (Entrepreneurial Operating System) for business growth and team alignment. Guest Bio: Bud Evans Bud Evans is a retired Air Force officer, former police officer, and mayor turned full-time real estate investor and business owner. He leads Second Street Property Management in South Jersey, managing hundreds of doors with a focus on affordability and service.

For five years, we’ve been following the work of Dollar For and its founder Jared Walker, watching them quickly scale up their efforts to help people crush medical debt by tapping into “charity care” — the financial assistance that hospitals are legally required to offer some patients. Their work represents what a small, scrappy, thoughtful group of people can do. Last year, their tiny staff helped wipe out more than $55 million in medical bills. As we kick off 2026, we thought it was time to check in again. After all, this will be a year when millions more people will have trouble covering their medical bills — when Dollar For’s work may become more important to more people, and when we’re hungry for more ways to help each other. As Jared tells it, 2025 proved to be a pivotal – yet rocky – period in the organization’s story. Both their successes and their challenges put into stark relief exactly what we’re all up against. So we go deep with Jared on what they achieved while they weathered the chaos, and what it might mean for their – and our collective – next moves. Here's a transcript of this episode. Check out our Starter Pack: How to wipe out your bill with charity care. And our previous coverage of Dollar For: Could billions in medical debt get zapped by the legal strategy from this 60-second video? (2021)We talked to Jared just weeks after Dollar For first went viral. The group’s early history — they’d been working locally for years — is fascinating. Badass volunteers help Jared level up, in the fight to crush medical debt (2021)Within six months, they’d recruited volunteers and built systems. The Medical Bill “Negotiation Lab” (2022)In an experiment aimed at scaling up impact, Dollar For tried a different approach in 2022. We sat in. One last tip before 2024 (2023)Why Jared thinks you should ask for “charity care” by name -- even though, let’s face it, asking for “charity” does not feel good to most of us. New lessons from the fight for charity care (2024)Dollar For spent 2024 focusing on the big picture and starting to focus on policy advocacy. Check out our history of charity care series (from 2021): A legendary lawyer sued hospitals for price-gouging their patients. And got his butt handed to him. Dickie Scruggs is the guy who beat Big Tobacco. But when he took on hospitals, he lost. The wild backstory of a tiny but crucial Obamacare provision (ft. David Axelrod)Charity care wasn’t part of federal law until the Affordable Care Act passed. A Republican senator made sure it was part of the ACA — before deciding he wouldn’t vote for the law. “We just kept right on pushing” … and laws changedIn New York, a grieving family’s story made headlines and helped advocates catch lawmakers’ attention. Wait, that was legal until now?!In 2021, Maryland barred hospitals from suing patients who qualified for charity care. Send your stories and questions. Or call 724 ARM-N-LEG.

In Everything Is Fine, I'll Just Work Harder: Confessions of A Former Badass (Street Noise Books, 2025), Professor Cara Gormally draws us into the familiar academic world of chronic busyness. In panel after panel, Cara brings us into a life numbed by overwork. Then, as this graphic memoir shows us, during an ordinary early-morning run, Cara's watch dings with a Facebook friend request. Their rapist wants to “friend” them. Cara always had a long to-do list; always had many projects; always was busy. But as their rapist continued to send friend requests and tried to reconnect with them, they began to lose their grip on their work, projects, and relationships. But then Cara connects with a therapist who guides them through a long but powerful process of healing. And Cara works to desensitize, reprocess, excavate and relive the old wounds in order to move past them and heal. This episode explores: Cara's path to academia; how she discovered her love of science; how art and writing can help us heal; the work of going to therapy; what radical self-acceptance is; why overwork can be a sign of a trauma response; the risks and rewards of changing; and the importance of writing communities.
