In the crucial Part 2 of our conversation with Mike Russell, founder of Hope for Hardship, we move beyond the hardship story and give you the specific legal blueprint for fighting foreclosure.

Stop hiding from your creditors and start learning the law today!Key Takeaways 0:27 The Right to Cure: Mike explains the crucial period (typically 90 days) granted to consumers to "cure the debt" after falling into default before the bank can proceed with formal foreclosure.1:07 The Foreclosure Timeline: Learn the approximate 150-day period from the last payment until the bank is ready to file a Notice of Intent to Foreclose (1:46).2:40 The Court Date Misconception: Mike clarifies the common mistake of confusing the Service Members Act court notice (2:01) with a required court date for non-military homeowners.4:09 The Woodwork Warning: The moment the foreclosure becomes public record, leading to a barrage of calls and solicitations from people seeking to "capitalize on the perceived misfortune of others."5:57 The Chapter 13 Trap: Mike, drawing from his experience, warns against filing Chapter 13 bankruptcy simply to get a temporary stay on an auction (6:35), explaining how this often fails and leaves the consumer with both a bankruptcy and a foreclosure on their record.9:44 A Triumph Story (The Soft Landing): Mike shares a powerful success story of helping a family execute a short sale (11:05), rebuild their credit, and eventually buy the rental property they moved into (11:56).12:25 Struggle is a Chapter: Mike offers his philosophy: "Struggle is just a chapter unless you make it permanent," emphasizing that a crisis is not the end of one's existence.14:39 Direct Contact & Resources: Mike shares his cell phone and website for anyone seeking immediate guidance.Connect with Mike:Contact Number: (508) 728-6465Website: Help4hardship.orgEmail Address: Mike@hope4hardship.orgLinkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mike-russell-3395baa/Connect with Corwyn:Contact Number: 843-619-3005Instagram:⁠ https://www.instagram.com/exitstrategiesradioshow/⁠FB Page:⁠ https://www.facebook.com/exitstrategiessc/⁠Youtube:⁠ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxoSuynJd5c4qQ_eDXLJaZA⁠Website:⁠ https://www.exitstrategiesradioshow.com⁠Linkedin:⁠ https://www.linkedin.com/in/cmelette/⁠Shoutout to our Sponsor: Mellifund Capital, LLCNeed funding for your next real estate flip or build?

This Day in Legal History: Social Security AmendmentsOn November 10, 1983, President Ronald Reagan signed into law the Social Security Amendments of 1983, a landmark piece of legislation aimed at addressing a looming fiscal crisis in the Social Security system. At the time, the program was projected to run out of funds within months, threatening benefits for millions of retirees. The bipartisan effort, led by a commission chaired by Alan Greenspan, produced a package of reforms that fundamentally altered the structure of Social Security and continue to shape its operation today. One of the most significant changes was the gradual increase in the full retirement age from 65 to 67, a shift that reflected growing life expectancies and was designed to reduce long-term benefit payouts.Another major provision subjected Social Security benefits to federal income tax for higher-income recipients, marking a departure from the program's previously tax-exempt status. These changes helped restore solvency to the system and underscored the evolving view of Social Security not merely as a safety net, but as part of a broader fiscal policy framework. The amendments also mandated that federal employees begin paying into Social Security and included temporary payroll tax increases.The 1983 reforms were notable for their rare bipartisan consensus, forged between a Republican president and a Democrat-controlled House. The political compromise demonstrated that major structural entitlement reform was possible when both parties shared a sense of urgency and responsibility. The law's legacy is complex—it shored up the system for decades but left future generations facing similar solvency questions. Legal scholars and policymakers still reference the 1983 amendments as a model of negotiated reform, even as the political climate has become more polarized. The taxation of benefits and the higher retirement age remain central to debates about equity and sustainability within the program.The Social Security Amendments of 1983 exemplify how statutory changes can recalibrate entitlement programs to respond to demographic and economic pressures, while raising ongoing questions about intergenerational fairness and fiscal responsibility.A federal appeals court has upheld a lower court's order requiring the Trump administration to fully fund Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits for November, despite the ongoing government shutdown. The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) had planned to rely solely on $4.65 billion in contingency funds, which would have resulted in reduced aid, but the court found this inadequate. The Rhode Island judge had ordered the USDA to tap into a separate $23.35 billion fund intended for child nutrition programs to cover the $4 billion shortfall and avoid widespread harm to the 42 million Americans who rely on SNAP.While the 1st Circuit declined to stay the lower court's ruling, Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson temporarily paused the order, creating ongoing uncertainty about benefit distribution. The USDA has since directed states to reverse any moves to issue full benefits made before the pause, warning of potential financial penalties. The administration argued that it couldn't be forced to reallocate funds during a shutdown, blaming Congress for the funding crisis. However, the appeals court emphasized the urgent need to prevent food insecurity during the winter. The case arose from a lawsuit brought by cities, nonprofits, a union, and a food retailer seeking full benefit payments.Trump administration cannot withhold full funding for food aid, US appeals court rules | ReutersLarge and midsized U.S. law firms experienced a strong increase in client demand during the third quarter of 2025, according to the Thomson Reuters Institute. Demand rose 3.9% year-over-year—marking one of the largest quarterly gains in two decades and the highest outside the 2021 post-pandemic rebound. Transactional practices drove much of this growth, particularly among midsized firms, with M&A work rising 6.7%, corporate work up 4.4%, and real estate and tax also showing solid gains.Litigation demand increased 4.9%, while labor and employment rose 4%. Bankruptcy, however, dipped slightly by 0.4%. Demand for countercyclical practices—those that tend to rise in downturns—was more modest, with larger firms seeing smaller gains compared to firms ranked 101–200. Midsized firms also saw a 3.9% rise in these areas. Analysts attribute part of the shift to corporate clients seeking cost control by reallocating work to more affordable firms.Billing rates were also up 7.4%, contributing to greater profitability despite a 7.5% increase in overhead expenses driven by tech investments. While current trends point to a strong 2025, the report warned of continued global economic and geopolitical instability that could reverse gains quickly.US law firms saw demand surge in third quarter - report | ReutersDemocrats ended a record-long government shutdown without securing their primary goal: the extension of health insurance tax credits under the Affordable Care Act. Despite initial unity, eight Senate Democrats broke ranks and voted with Republicans to advance a bill reopening the government on its 40th day, omitting the sought-after healthcare provisions. In return, they received only a vague promise of a future vote on the subsidies, a concession many in the party, including Senators Elizabeth Warren and leaders in the House, criticized as a strategic failure.The decision has sparked internal party conflict, especially after Democrats had recently seen electoral gains tied to their affordability messaging. Some Democrats believed holding out longer might have forced Republican concessions, but others, like Senator Jeanne Shaheen, argued prolonging the shutdown would only harm the public. The failed push is reminiscent of past shutdowns, including Trump's 2018-19 border wall standoff, where policy goals were ultimately abandoned after prolonged disruption.Air travel chaos and delayed food aid added pressure to end the shutdown, with more than 10,000 flights affected and warnings of a near-complete travel halt ahead of Thanksgiving. While public opinion largely blamed Republicans for the impasse, Democrats now hope to leverage the upcoming healthcare vote in their favor ahead of the 2026 midterms. The fate of the tax credits—and potentially rising premiums for 24 million Americans—will likely become a defining campaign issue. The shutdown technically continues as the Senate and House still need to finalize and pass the bill before President Trump can sign it.Democrats Concede Shutdown Fight Without Health Care Win in HandPresident Donald Trump has issued pardons to at least 77 individuals connected to efforts to overturn the 2020 election, including Rudy Giuliani, Mark Meadows, Sidney Powell, Jeffrey Clark, and other close allies. The pardons, outlined in a proclamation dated Friday, were framed by Trump as an attempt to end a “grave national injustice” and promote “national reconciliation.” These actions come amid ongoing investigations into the fake elector scheme that aimed to keep Trump in power after his 2020 loss to Joe Biden—a plan Trump and his allies continued to promote until his 2024 re-election.While Trump himself had been federally indicted in connection with the elector plot, that case was dismissed after his re-election, citing the Justice Department's policy against prosecuting a sitting president. The pardons only apply to federal charges and do not shield recipients from state-level prosecutions, which remain active in some jurisdictions. The White House has not publicly commented on the latest round of pardons, many of which were not formally announced.Included in the list of recipients are legal and political figures such as John Eastman, Christina Bobb, and Boris Epshteyn, all of whom played public roles in contesting the 2020 results. The full number of individuals pardoned could be even higher, as the list may include unnamed individuals.Trump pardons Giuliani and dozens of others accused of seeking to overturn his 2020 defeat | Reuters This is a public episode.

From Bankruptcy to 60 Million: The Systems Behind a Successful Exit with Jason Sisneros   Most business owners think success means more sales and more hustle. But Jason Sisneros discovered the opposite — freedom comes from systems, not speed.   After crashing three businesses and digging himself millions into debt, Jason rebuilt from scratch. Over time, he created, scaled, and sold 26 companies with 6,800 employees for more than $60 million — all without investors or partners. Today, through his company Built to Exit, he helps business owners do what he finally mastered: design a business that creates wealth and freedom instead of chaos and burnout.   5 Key Lessons from the Conversation:  Every Business Exits — It's Your Choice How. You'll leave your business one way or another. Build for a custom exit, not an involuntary one. Assess Honestly Before You Act. A turnaround begins with clarity — know your numbers, your relationships, and what truly drives value. Reignite Your "Why." Many entrepreneurs lose their original purpose. Rediscovering it reignites motivation and smart decision-making. Profit and Cash Flow Are Different Beasts. Jason uses the Profit First envelope system to separate profit, operating cash, and free cash flow — protecting the money that builds freedom. Systems Create Sellable Companies. Businesses that run on process, not personality, scale faster, stress less, and are worth more when it's time to exit.   Key Takeaway: Revenue looks impressive — but free cash flow buys freedom. Structure your money so it serves your life, not the other way around.   About Jason Sisneros: Jason Sisneros is a battle-tested Chairman obsessed with the game of business. His focus is consistently and predictably building 5% companies and 1% business owners. Renowned as one of the brightest minds in business and innovation, Jason has worked with Fortune 500 companies like Nike, Comcast, and Microsoft. His passion, however, is for the over 100 small—to mid-cap companies he has helped optimize for maximum cash flow or wealth-harvesting exits. Jason is sought after by business owners worldwide as a trusted resource for creating competitive advantages for their companies. His proprietary systems are called "Built To Exit" or B2X. He currently owns multiple businesses, has personally exited more than two dozen companies, and has spoken for hundreds of thousands of business owners on stages and podcasts around the world. Jason's commitment extends beyond business. He volunteers as an undercover operative and helps fund a child sex trafficking rescue unit called SERT Ministries. Actively involved in anti-domestic violence and food insecurity initiatives, Jason believes ethical capitalism improves the world. He champions that successful business owners are among the most generous, driving positive change globally. He considers a well-trained, robust small and mid-sized enterprise environment, where we all do business with each other, one of the most potent engines of freedom.   Links: YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@BuiltToExit Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jason.sisneros.1 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thejasonsisneros Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jason-sisneros/ X: https://twitter.com/thejsisneros?lang=en B2x Website: https://builttoexit.biz/about/   Conclusion: Jason's journey proves that even failure can become fuel when you apply the right systems. Whether you plan to sell someday or simply want a business that runs without you, start now: know your numbers, separate your accounts, and define your end game.   Because at the end of the day, every business exits — the smart ones are built to.   Richer Soul Ep. 459 From Drug Runner to 60 Million Exit: Jason Sisneros' Redemption Story: https://richersoul.com/ep-459-from-drug-runner-to-60m-exit-jason-sisneros-redemption-story/   #ProfitFirst #BusinessExit #CashFlow #EntrepreneurMindset #FinancialFreedom #BuiltToExit #ProfitAnswerMan #SmallBusinessGrowth #BusinessStrategy #WealthBuilding   Watch the full episode on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@profitanswerman Sign up to be notified when the next cohort of the Profit First Experience Course is available!

This first episode focuses on the first days after the shocking discovery that the Madoff multi-billion-dollar investment enterprise was a complete fraud. Unlike most Ponzi schemes, there were actually no investments at all in what on paper appeared to be a massive investment fund. Our guest, attorney David Sheehan of Baker & Hostetler LLP, is retained along with Irving Picard to begin the process of an orderly liquidation of the Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities LLC. The enormity of the case is unveiled as David and his team learn that $64 billion in supposed investments have in fact never existed despite years of reports to investors that the funds were returning up to 17% profits annually.

What happens when life throws you a curveball that threatens your home, your finances, and your future? This week, join your host Corwyn J. Melette as he dives deep into the story of survival, perseverance, and success with this week's guest, Mike Russell, founder of Hope 4 Hardship and Certified Distressed Property Expert. Mike shares his raw experience of corporate and personal bankruptcy, foreclosure, and family disputes, and reveals the critical steps to take before crisis hits. Whether you're navigating the aftermath of COVID-related payment struggles or just looking for a financial safety net, this two-part episode offers invaluable, tangible advice on controlling your reaction and securing your future.Key Takeaways:2:35 Mike Russell's Background: Mike shares his 30-year journey in real estate, including his personal experience with foreclosure, divorce, and multiple bankruptcies, which led him to start his non-profit.7:26 Control Your Reaction: The pivotal lesson: you have no control over how entities react, but you have control over how you react to their reaction. Mike admits his failure to do this led him to bury his head in the sand and ignore creditors.9:45 You Are in Sales Mode with the Bank: Mike outlines the need to put together an "outstanding application for assistance" to convince the lender you are a "viable bet" to resume normal payments.12:03 The Partial Claim Mortgage (FHA Loans): Mike details the "gold standard" retention option where HUD pays the arrearage and holds it as a 0% interest, silent second mortgage, allowing the consumer to keep their original, low-interest loan terms.14:49 Hardship Must Be Proven Over: Mike emphasizes that to be considered for assistance, you must not only prove hardship but, more importantly, prove that the financial hardship is over and your income is sufficient.17:58 The Frivolous Spending Warning: Mike stresses that if bank statements show frivolous spending (like trips while claiming hardship), the bank will not deem the applicant responsible, and the assistance application will likely be denied.Tune in next week for Part 2 as Corwyn J. Melette and Mike Russell continue the conversation, diving deeper into specific strategies and how to effectively navigate the retention and non-retention options offered by lenders.

The US Corporation is bankrupt, and has suspended the constitution since 1871. In this podcast I blend current events with research done by Karen Hudes (world bank lawyer & whistleblower) and Jordan Maxwell.  To understand the current US Government Shutdown, we have to understand the bankers who have been running the country, and what their goals are. In this episode of the Highway Diary podcast Eric goes through a history of debts of America, who holds them, and how the Deep State has gotten out of control.  At the end, Eric puts this in context of the No Kings protest, as the same players are involved in the organization of that.  Hint: The Freemasons, who are run by the British Royal Family.    www.EricHollerbach.com

In this episode of The Fact Hunter, we expose how America shifted from a constitutional republic into a corporate system that treats its citizens as collateral. We trace the redefinition of “people” into “persons,” the corporate charters that shaped our nation, the Organic Act of 1871, the Federal Reserve takeover of 1913, and the bankruptcy of 1933. We show how "elites" shield themselves while ordinary Americans carry the burden—and why true freedom can only be found by anchoring ourselves in God's Word, not man's corporate fiction.Email: thefacthunter@mail.com
