In March of 2023, the National Cybersecurity Strategy was released. Lots of pundits opined a day or two after the release; rather than an immediate reaction, it seems best to wait for a news cycle or two to look at the strategy from a better perspective. Well, what better perspective than a person who has worked inside the government, is an attorney, and has some serious credentials in the tech world? Today, we sat down with Bill Wright, Global Head of Government Affairs at Elastic. The strategy document talks about the importance of infrastructure. Bill Wright comments that 80% of the critical infrastructure in the United States is privately held. One overarching purpose of the document is to try to fill in the security gaps in the private sector. Bill remarks that the third “pillar” of the document may present the biggest challenge. This is the call for federal privacy legislation. Americans are sensitive to any kind of federal control over-identification. This alone may take three to five years to pass legislation. What is new is a shift of security liability to the software makers. The Executive Order is trying to incentivize solutions providers to have basic security built into the offering, instead of the constant bolting on of software packaged to comply with a new initiative. Years of failure have shown how limited this after-the-fact approach is. Because Bill has decades of experience in technology policy, he can see how some industry groups may balk. The example he gives is members of industrial water systems were not consulted before this mandate. He ends the interview by stating the obvious:  computer networks are now part of the critical infrastructure of the United States. Many of the security recommendations are made with an understanding of the role of CISA in the entire endeavor. Listen to the interview to get a fresh, new perspective on the new federal mandate.   Follow John Gilroy on Twitter @RayGilray Follow John Gilroy on LinkedIn  https://www.linkedin.com/in/john-gilroy/ Listen to past episodes of Federal Tech Podcast  www.federaltechpodcast.com      

WHY did we host a spelling bee on the show today?  Because Bill's 7-year-old, Drew, is in a spelling bee today so he stopped by the studio to go head-to-head against Morgan!  We also did a lot of weekend recap, including Morgan doing some Black Friday shopping.  Anyone else want to share their Black Friday or Cyber Monday deals?  It was a good sports day yesterday, but not so much on Saturday for the Buckeyes fans.  Also, what happened over the weekend at the "Christmas Story" house that involved so much cursing?!?  Mia from Solon joined us again and we got the update on if there was more Thanksgiving family drama this year...and we were NOT expecting to hear that!!  Plus, Battle of the Burbs and another reason why you shouldn't play Monopoly on family game night, ever.  

Last Wednesday, Vladimir Putin announced that Russian civilians would be drafted to bolster forces in his unpopular war in Ukraine. Almost immediately, the Kremlin faced widespread opposition, including demonstrations. On Friday, the Russian Ministry of Defense announced that “citizens with higher education” would be exempt from the draft, especially those in telecommunications, information technology, banking and “systematically important” media companies.When I heard this news I flashed back to 1968. Tens of thousands of us then graduating from college were subject to being drafted and very possibly going to Vietnam. College students were deferred but local draft boards decided whether to continue deferments for graduate school. Many of us were not only afraid of being killed, but also thought the war insane and unjust. We demonstrated against it. Some burnt our draft cards. We did not want to be complicit in the immoral war. But what to do? Draft resistance meant going to prison or to Canada. The handful of us who had been awarded Rhodes Scholarships for study at Oxford negotiated with our draft boards. Bill Clinton got his extended deferment by signing a letter of intent to join the Reserve Officers Training Corps after Oxford. On December 3 of our second year there — after Bill drew a sufficiently high draft-lottery number to ensure he wouldn't be drafted — he wrote a letter to Colonel Eugene Holmes, the head of ROTC at the University of Arkansas, essentially withdrawing from the program. Because Bill's decision and letter would become controversial twenty-three years later when he ran for President, I'm reproducing the relevant portion here. (I can't help but wonder whether it expresses the sentiments of young Russians now facing Putin's draft.)Dear Colonel Holmes, First, I want to thank you, not just for saving me from the draft, but for being so kind and decent to me …. For years I have worked to prepare myself for a political life characterized by both practical political ability and concern for rapid social progress. It is a life I still feel compelled to try to lead. I do not think our system of government is by definition corrupt, however dangerous and inadequate it has been in recent years (the society may be corrupt, but that is not the same thing, and if that is true we are all finished anyway).When the draft came, despite political convictions, I was having a hard time facing the prospect of fighting a war I had been fighting against, and that is why I contacted you. ROTC was the one way left in which I could possibly, but not positively, avoid both Vietnam and resistance. … After I signed the ROTC letter of intent I began to wonder whether the compromise I had made with myself was not more objectionable than the draft would have been, because I had no interest in the ROTC program in itself and all I seemed to have done was to protect myself from physical harm. Also, I began to think I had deceived you, not by lies - there were none - but by failing to tell you all the things I'm writing now. I doubt that I had the mental coherence to articulate them then. At that time, after we had made our agreement and you had sent my 1-D deferment to my draft board, the anguish and loss of self-regard and self-confidence really set in. I hardly slept for weeks and kept going by eating compulsively and reading until exhaustion brought sleep. Finally on September 12th, I stayed up all night writing a letter to the chairman of my draft board … stating that I couldn't do the ROTC after all and would he please draft me as soon as possible.I never mailed the letter, but I did carry it on me every day until I got on the plane to return to England. I didn't mail the letter because I didn't see, in the end, how my going in the Army and maybe going to Vietnam would achieve anything except a feeling that I had punished myself and gotten what I deserved. So I came back to England to try to make something of this second year of my Rhodes scholarship.And that is where I am now, writing to you because you have been good to me and have a right to know what I think and feel. I am writing too in the hope that my telling this one story will help you to understand more clearly how so many fine people have come to find themselves still loving their country but loathing the military, to which you and other good men have devoted years, lifetimes, of the best service you could give. To many of us, it is no longer clear what is service and what is disservice, or if it is clear, the conclusion is likely to be illegal. Forgive the length of this letter. There was much to say. There is still a lot to be said, but it can wait. Please say hello to Colonel Jones for me. Merry Christmas.Sincerely, Bill Clinton ***As for me, I had read the Selective Service's physical requirements for being drafted, which clearly set the minimum height at five feet. So, at 4 foot 11 inches, I assumed I wouldn't make the grade. Just before setting sail for England, I decided to get the matter officially out of the way. I was working in Berkeley, California at the time, and went over to the Oakland Induction Center (which had been the scene of some violent anti-war protests) to receive my 4-F classification — “unfit for military service.” The Center was almost empty when I arrived. An examining sergeant sitting at a desk at the end of the corridor caught sight of me. “Hey!” he shouted, beckoning me. “Just what we've been waiting for!”“Sorry, sir?” I asked as I reached his desk, hoping I'd misheard. My heart raced. Was he joking?“You're perfect!” he said, smiling and standing up as if to give me a bear hug. “A tunnel rat!”“A … what?” “We need shorties like you to go into tunnels under the rice paddies! Smoke out the ‘Cong with grenades!” I saw my life pass in front of me. “Let's just measure you.” He asked me to strip down to my underwear and socks, and then ushered me to the measuring stand about ten feet away. He turned me so I was looking outward, away from the vertical measure. “Just stand up v-e-r-y straight,” he said in a somber tone as he slid the horizontal metal strip down to the top of my head. I couldn't see the measurement but I could hear my heart pounding. In his enthusiasm for tunnel rats, would he declare I was five feet regardless of my one inch deficiency? A long pause that seemed to last for eternity. His large hand came down on my shoulder as he ushered me off the platform. “I'm sorry, son,” he said solemnly. Sorry? Was he sorry I was heading under the rice paddies with hand grenades, or sorry I wasn't? OMG. Could it be that I was just over 4 feet 11 inches by enough of a fraction that he could claim I was 5 feet? I suddenly remembered that the Army height regulation allowed examining sergeants to round up or down:(1) If the height fraction is less than half an inch, round down to the nearest whole number in inches. (2) If the height fraction is half an inch or greater, round up to the next highest whole number in inches.If this sergeant rounded up, I'd be down under the rice paddies with grenades. Forget Oxford. Hell, forget life. “So,” I said, trying to hide the tremor in my voice, “Wha … what's the measure show?”He frowned. “You're just too short.”I was tempted to let out a yell but stopped myself for fear he'd take offense and draft me out of spite. So I simply nodded and said “okay,” trying my best to act disappointed. “But, son…” S**t. Was I too disappointed? Was he going to round up out of sympathy? “… Don't give up hope,” he smiled. “Maybe you'll grow!” I grinned. A second later he let out a loud guffaw, probably relieved I wasn't upset by his lame attempt at humor. Then I felt my own relief overwhelm me — the unmitigated joy of having my life back — and I laughed too. We both laughed and laughed and laughed, out of a sense of relief that both of us felt, for different reasons. That's the image I'm left with now, fifty-four years later: the two of us, the examining sergeant and me, doubled up there in the Oakland Induction Center, while tens of thousands of young Americans — most of them without college degrees — and hundreds of thousands of Vietnamese, were being slaughtered for no good reason.

I am thrilled to welcome my friend and colleague, Bill Allen, to the show today to talk about his new book! I point out that Bill is by far my most frequent guest and how he has shared his background story in other podcasts. He went from one flip in his first year to sixty-seven in his next year by joining the 7 Figure Flipping Mastermind, blowing up his real estate investing business in a manner very similar to my own path. Bill ended up buying the 7 Figure Flipping company in July of 2019 and has been super busy the past couple of years, but was convinced it was now or never for getting his thoughts and experiences down on paper. We deep dive into his first book, 7 Figure Flipping Underground, in the rest of the interview. Both of us get the same business-related questions all the time, and Bill expressed the need to have something to hand someone to say, “here is the answer.” The desire to leave something behind for his kids and others to reference was also a strong motivator for Bill to take on this project. We talked about how being part of the 7 Figure Flipping Mastermind group has a large pricetag and he was hoping to be able to share a lot of that type of mentoring with the masses very inexpensively. Bill also talked about writing the book and then feeling it wasn't quite what he wanted to deliver, so he ended up rewriting the entire manuscript! Because Bill had been inspired to write this book by his dad who is also a published author, I asked how his dad responded when he found out about Bill's book. Bill said he felt so gratified when his dad told him how proud he was of him. I was incredibly honored when Bill asked me to read the manuscript for the audio version of this book, so if you haven't had enough of my voice, you will have to check it out! We did something very cool with the audio version too - I had some questions after reading the book and basically interviewed Bill for some bonus content at the end of each chapter. Bill is basically giving the book away free on his website so check out the link below to get your copy by just paying for postage. Bill also adds that he heard some advice about reading a book while listening to it at the same time, so he has made it easy to get both versions on his website. I pointed out that Bill has built his company very recently, over the past several years, so that the information in the book is very current and timeless. He has also made some dramatic changes in his business structurally and I wanted him to describe the modifications he chose to make. Bill gave us some background of hiring his team and eventually a COO to basically take over for him of running the day-to-day operations. Then the pandemic changed everything. Bill is incredibly open and honest with the struggles he experienced and how it changed his outlook and goals. Make sure you don't miss this fantastic episode of the Just Start Real Estate Podcast with Bill Allen and get all of the inside scoop on not only his new book, but also his recent business challenges and changes!

Kirk” — took an 11-minute, life-changing rocket ride into outer space … How do we know it was “life-changing?” Because Bill has said so — repeatedly … on every network television show and podcast that would listen over the past week! Thus, successfully concluding an argument I began with Gene Roddenberry over a half-century ago …. That, somehow, Gene should deliberately bring “the mythical Star Trek Universe,” and the “reality of Americans one day inheriting the solar system” TOGETHER … even as the Enterprise was “boldly going where no television show had ever gone before ….” That — if done correctly — this could be the literal 20th Century Beginnings of [...]

This week Melissa brings forth another unnerving “unsolved” murder – this one from May of 1997 - that really isn’t unsolved at all; a case where the search for justice has been unrelenting for nearly a quarter of a century.  And despite the fact that the culprit is alive and in plain sight of God and everybody – no arrests have ever been made.   The victim – then 44 year-old Monika Luise Rizzo (nee McKinney) – had by all accounts grown up happy, well-adjusted and well-taken care of by her adoptive parents, dad Bill McKinney and mom (also named) Monika McKinney.  Because Bill was a career US Army officer, the family moved around a lot when Monika was young.  But no matter where she lived, Monika Luise was always known to be enterprising, hard-working and honest to a fault.  And Monika Luise maintained those traits for the remainder of her life, even though that life was never easy after she met Leonard “Lenny” Rizzo on a Honolulu beach in 1970 when she was just 17 and a senior in high school.  A beach bum, motorcycle enthusiast and overall ne’er-do-well, Lenny convinced Monika Luise to marry him as soon as she turned 18, which is exactly what happened – over the strong objections of the McKinneys and the strong warnings of others familiar with Lenny and his family.  And for 26 years, they stayed married.  Had two kids – both boys.  All seemed reasonably well…except that Lenny never really could hold down a job, drank, used drugs, belonged to a motorcycle gang and even ended up in jail on a narcotics charge for a couple of years.  Through all of it, Monika Luise held down the fort, earned the family income and was always known as the most reliable employee wherever she worked.  Throughout the marriage, there were signs that domestic violence may have been occurring – a black eye here, a burn or severe scratch there – but no one ever did anything, and Monika Luise never implicated Lenny in any of her injuries.  But by Christmastime 1996 and moving into early 1997, the signs were getting unmistakable.  Now living in San Antonio Texas, near her parents’ home where Bill McKinney had retired, Monika Luise had become one of the highest-regarded employees at the Texas Dept. of Human Resources – but trouble was obviously afoot.  Between January and May 1997, she began to show signs of distraction and lack of personal care – and she lost so much weight that by some accounts she was down to 85 pounds by May 5…when, in the middle of the work day, Lenny Rizzo made an urgent call to Monika Luise at the office.  And after she took that call, her coworkers saw her get up from her desk and – leaving all of her personal belongings behind – walk out of the room, never to be seen by them again.  To this day no one knows what that conversation was about.  But what is known is that completely shredded bone shards and skin and human body fluids found in Lenny Rizzo’s back yard were proven by DNA testing to be that of Moniika Luise McKinney Rizzo.  And Lenny?  Oh, he spent another few years in the joint for attempted murder of his new girlfriend – but he’s out now and the local DA still unbelievably claim that not enough evidence exists to indict him for the killing of Monika Luise.  Prepare yourself for a detailed look into the life and death of a remarkable young woman for whom justice seems to have been permanently denied.  That is, of course, unless YOU, brave Tip-Ster, know something that might close the door and result in an indictment – and if you do, call the San Antonio Police Department at (210) 207-7273.  Also – recommended reading is The Raw Truth! Bill McKinney’s compelling re-telling of his daughter Monika’s story.

Do you feel stuck in your business? You’re doing everything and doing nothing at the same time? And the little progress you do seem to make, ends up with more arguments and confusion in the end? Bill took over a company several years ago and the old leadership team was still there. No matter what Bill did, there would always be conflict within the leadership team. They couldn’t seem to get on the same page. Because Bill was a partner in this business, there was no way he could simply “just leave.” He had to make it work somehow. If your leadership is not aligned, you have to make some tough changes there. How do you get someone on the same page as you? Bill used a series of tools like defining a clear vision for the company, the brand’s promise, communication, building trust, and more to turn the ship around.   Resources: Scaling Up for Business Growth Workshop: Take the first step to mastering the Rockefeller Habits by attending one of our workshops.

That's right folks, on the 41-year anniversary of the actual 'Miracle On Ice', New York City got their own miracle on ice over the weekend. The vindictive and incompetent Bill de Blasio was going to put hundreds of people out of work and take away thousands of children's dreams by ending contracts on NYC's ice rinks owned by Donald Trump. Why you ask? Because Bill de Blasio is a feckless, reprobate and wanted to end the contracts for shear self-absorbed peace of mind. So petty. Nonetheless, Bernie and Sid let de Blasio hear it as well as get into the uptick in Asian hate crimes in de Blasios New York City, and more subway attacks in de Blasios New York City. Let' not forget how terrible this city has become under de Blasio's "leadership". Plus, a half black makeup artist is fired after a black actress overhears her singing a song with the 'N' word in it, Coca-Cola is telling you to check your whiteness, and the selfish teachers union refuses to go back to school. Congressman Lee Zeldin, the 'Pride of Shirley Long Island', stops by to weigh in on the ongoing scandal surrounding Andrew Cuomo's handling of the nursing homes during the coronavirus lockdown, and when asked about a potential gubernatorial run in 2022, Zeldin does not rule it out. It's Monday and that means the editor of National Review Rich Lowry joins the guys for a conversation that covered (brace yourself), geese poop, a Biden cabinet nominee threatening nuns, a wannabe mobster, domestic violence, and the New York Yankees. Owner of Red Apple Media John Catsimatidis talks with Bernie and Sid about his role in keeping the ice rinks under contract with Donald Trump open. And finally, Malia Shah, a rising pop star, stops by the studio to talk about her latest single.

Years of agriculture modification has destroyed our wheat supply, stripping it of its beneficial nutrients and increasing harmful elements. I’m joined by Dr. William Davis, author of Wheat Belly, to talk about how we can heal our chronic diseases likely caused by an overconsumption of wheat. About Dr. William Davis William Davis, MD is cardiologist and author of the New York Times #1 bestseller, Wheat Belly: Lose the Wheat, Lose the Weight and Find Your Path Back to Health, and several other books in the series. Most recently, he released his Revised and Expanded Edition of Wheat Belly with updated programs and strategies. His books have sold over 3 million copies in the North American market and are available in 40 countries.  National media appearances include the Dr. Oz Show, CBS This Morning, and Live with Kelly (Ripa), featured on Bill O’Reilly and the Colbert Report, and in print media including First for Women and Woman’s World magazines. Dr. Davis has a substantial online presence on his Wheat Belly Blog with 10 million visitors. More than a book, more than social media, the Wheat Belly phenomenon has proven to be a movement, growing over time and creating an audience eager for food solutions that are healthy, delicious, and empowering. About This Episode Bill joins me to talk about how modern agriculture has changed the core nutrition profile of wheat to actually make it indigestible by our bodies. This change came from good intentions - farmers modified wheat to increase yield for our growing population - but the lasting, negative impact on our bodies contributes to so many chronic and long-term diseases. Bill encourages you to cut wheat and sugar out of your diet so you can finally start to feel better. Don’t worry, he’s developed some delicious recipes that mean you can still enjoy your favorite foods without using these modern kinds of wheat and sugars! Because Bill also lets us know exactly how much wheat a person can consume before it disrupts their health. Bill also explains why he’s stopped prescribing statins to his patients with high cholesterol and heart disease. As he says, anything statins can do, diet and nutrition can do better. This includes taking supplements to improve your gut health. Small Intestinal Bacteria Overgrowth (SIBO) could actually contribute to many of our chronic health conditions. Bill recommends using an herbal antibiotic treatment alongside a change in your diet, including removing wheat and sugar, to treat this chronic problem.  Lastly, Bill shares some of his favorite recipes with us. He’s an advocate of fermented foods like kombucha and his own yogurt (which I’m developing a dairy-free version of). He also thinks everyone should drink magnesium water to improve their health! Do you have chronic gut health problems? What’s your favorite fermented food? As always, you can ask me anything and let me hear your thoughts in the comments on the episode page. If you have questions, team@drannacabeca.com.   In This Episode: What happened to humanity’s health when farming started increasing the yield of wheat How you can enjoy your favorite foods without using modern wheat and sugar How much wheat a person can eat without disrupting their health Why statins aren’t the best way to treat high cholesterol and heart disease Some supplements you can take to help cultivate a healthy microbiome What Small Intestinal Bacteria Overgrowth (SIBO) has to do with your chronic health conditions What role herbal antibiotic regiments have for your health How fermented food has a positive impact on your gut bacteria Why you should drink magnesium water   Quotes: “This is not a mystery, it’s not speculation.

Bill the bastard was arguably the toughest Australian Lighthorse in history. Good luck trying to ride him though. Today's episode I get a tad passionate about the plight of the Brumbies in the Victorian High Country , most of which have links to the heritage of Australian Lighthorse's . As I mention in the podcast , I am useless at legal jargon and politics ,  so I've decided to tell Bill's story instead. Because Bill is proof that these horses are not useless feral animals that need culling. A lot of the soldiers who attempted to stay on Bill for longer than a minute may have disagreed. But in the end Bill proved just because your a cranky bastard doesn't mean you don't have courage , strength .. and a massive heart.  I could not have told his story with out this website https://billthebastard.org/ definitely check it out for more on Bill and the Australian Lighthorse legacy To help Phil Maguire and find out more about the fight to save our Brumbies please join the Facebook page Rural Resistance https://www.facebook.com/groups/585289412322451/ To donate to the legal fight  https://www.paypal.me/loumag1061?fbclid=IwAR3UN0DrH_xkTu2206C2kBE_jfWKomCZs18edR4zqpitF483pBs4VAJ7J4I

Cynthia Marquez:            "Sometimes to begin a new story, you have to let the old one end." Author unknown. I am Cynthia Marquez and I am a Tri-City influencer. Paul Casey:                         Keep reinforcing that everyone must place the common good of the team above their own agenda. If one area wins, the whole team wins. Speaker 3:                           Raising the water level of leadership in the Tri-Cities of Eastern Washington, it's the Tri-Cities Influencer Podcast. Welcome to the TCI podcast, where local leadership and self leadership expert, Paul Casey interviews local CEO's, entrepreneurs, and nonprofit executives to hear how they lead themselves and their teams so we can all benefit from their wisdom and experience. Here's your host, Paul Casey of Growing Forward Services, coaching and equipping individuals and teams to spark breakthrough success. Paul Casey:                         Thanks for joining me for today's episode with Bob Wilkinson. He's the president of Mission Support Alliance and fun fact about you Bob is? Bob W.:                                Let's see,, I'll go with I'm a big fan of candy corn. So some people love that, some people hate it. I got requested to have some desserts from my family, so I brought some cupcakes that are candy corn cupcakes, much to the demise of my daughters, who were very unhappy with that. Paul Casey:                         I too am a candy corn fan. So we unite over that. Well we'll dive in after checking in with our Tri-City influencer sponsors. Neal Taylor:                        Hello, my name is Neal Taylor. I am the managing attorney for Gravis Law's Commercial Transactions team. The CT team helps business owners, investors, and entrepreneurs accelerate and protect their business value. Today we're talking about employment law and alcohol and cannabis licensing. Josh Bam and Derek Johnson are both here with me now to describe those practice areas. Take it Derek. Derek Johnson:                 Thanks Neal. I'm Derek Johnson, partner at Gravis Law. We find that many employers in Washington state simply don't have handbooks, employee policies, or any other written materials to protect themselves and their employees. Without having these types of policies in place, an employer can run into trouble by firing employees, even if the employee isn't properly performing or are causing issues at work. Even if an employer fire someone for performance issues, for example, but fails to take the proper steps, they may run into trouble by inadvertently exposing themselves to a wrongful termination suit. We build strong, predictable and protective employee policies to protect our client's business. Neal Taylor:                        That's true. Thanks Derek. And having employment policies in place when you're dealing with cannabis or alcohol licensing is especially important. We know that clean employment policies, clean corporate structure, and having an attorney that can work with the Washington State Liquor and Cannabis Board is critically important to protecting your business through licensing. The attorneys at Gravis Law have this experience. Visit us today www.gravislaw.com. Paul Casey:                         Thank you for your support of leadership development in the Tri-Cities. Well welcome Bob. I was privileged to meet you at a Leadership Tri-Cities conclusion. You had come in, you had mentioned Mission Support Alliance had supported Leadership Tri-Cities and the class and you came in on the last day and you shared some leadership tidbits. I'm like, I want to interview that guy. So I remember that day. Bob W.:                                I must have had some good notes given to me. Paul Casey:                         Yeah so take us back a little bit. What did you aspire to be when you grow up? What's been your journey along the way to the positions that you're in right now? Bob W.:                                It's interesting, I think my journey was a little bit by happenstance, but as I look back on it, it kind of ultimately fit where I really wanted to go in life. So my original career aspirations, like most kids my age at that time frame, was to play professional sports. And so- Paul Casey:                         Of course. Bob W.:                                Started off wanting to be a professional basketball player and height was a problem and had a significant influence in my life early by a high school football coach in a local community at Troxell, who really turned me on to football. And football became my passion. I went on to play collegiately and while I was in college, I was given the choice when I went from a scholarship to Montana State University, I met with the counselors about what career path to go and I said, "Oh I think I want to be an engineer." Bob W.:                                And they proceeded to write down on a piece of paper how much it would take, time to take to be an engineer, plus go to practice, plus do all those things. And summed me up to 26 hours in a 24 hour day and I hadn't slept yet. So ultimately I went into general studies and started general studies, went to business, took a couple of business classes, thought I wanted to be an educator. Started to take a couple of engineering courses and ultimately ended up getting an electrical engineering degree. But in that process, and one of the things that... The second part of that, that I really always wanted to do was coach. I wanted to be a football coach, wanted to be a basketball coach, wanted to coach at high school and maybe even on a college level. Bob W.:                                And ultimately I decided that money was more important to me than coaching at that time. Right, wrong, or indifferent. So my career started off in electrical engineering as a construction engineer. And slowly but surely kind of went from construction engineering, got thrown to the wolves right out of the gate, joined a group that had five or six project engineers that were running construction jobs and they all left in the first three months. So I was fresh out of college in charge of about $50 million in work scope that I really didn't know what I was doing. So I learned very quickly to rely upon a lot of people around me to be able to help me through that process, which was a big influence for the rest of my career to this point. And influenced a little bit from my dad. Bob W.:                                So long story short is, that went into operations management and supervising and then eventually becoming more of a little bit of in the management and general management. And at the core, the thing that I probably enjoy most about what I do is I've come to the conclusion I really like building teams. And allowing teams of individuals, whether those are engineers or managers, or anything else for that matter, kind of centered around a common focus and executing to that common focus. Paul Casey:                         The building teams part, was that from the sports or did you have some other lessons that sports sort of stayed with you and you bring to now leadership? Bob W.:                                I think it's a little bit of both. I take a great deal of pride in watching people succeed at whatever they're succeeding at. Not everybody has the same trajectory or wants in their lives and not everybody brings the same talents to the table. The nice thing is when you can put them together. And I'll use it in a football analogy, when you have linemen, defensive players, offensive players, quarterbacks, receivers, but everybody's working to a common goal, it's truly impressive to watch. And I take joy out of that and I take joy in watching people do things. Bob W.:                                It stems a little bit from me, my father told me when I was young and it has resonated with me for the rest of my life, is always try to get those around you that are smarter than you and more capable than you and let them be successful at what they are. And take every opportunity you can to learn from them. And so I've always attempted as best I can, no matter who I'm working with, for, or peers, or they report to me, to be able to find the highest, most talented people I can and help encourage them. And in the second time and then try to learn from them. Right? Paul Casey:                         Yeah that's fantastic. Along your journey, were you sort of summoned into positions or to did you aspire to be promoted as you made your way up the ladder? Bob W.:                                I would say I had interest in attaining the next level. I'm a highly hyper competitive person, so when I roll into a new role or opportunity, I'm always evaluating what it would take to be the person above me's role. I think that helps me provide them the service that they need to help manage up. But embedded in that, my opportunities in many cases stem from I've been a little bit young in my career in many cases into roles that I've moved into. And most of the roles I moved into for a period of time were roles that nobody else would take. They were troubled spots. I've had a couple of... One of my first plant manager roles that I was offered to take, the exiting plant manager that I was replacing, that he'd hired me into, told me I would be fired within a year. Not because I wasn't capable, because anybody that was in that role was not going to be successful. Bob W.:                                So part of my journey has always been along the roles of we have a problem here and this is going to be nasty. And I was more than willing I guess to kind of step into it to try and make a difference. And really that difference in many cases just had to do with, back to the point of I've been very fortunate to have a lot of very capable people around me that I either reported to, that worked for me, or that I worked with. Right? Paul Casey:                         I love that principle leading up that you said that you were always watching to see what does it take to do that job above you. And that's a great principle leading up for those that want to move up the ladder. Bob W.:                                Yeah. For me, it wasn't so much necessarily to move up the ladder, but in order for me... If your boss isn't successful, you're probably not going to be successful. Paul Casey:                         Very true. Bob W.:                                At the same time, in order to make sure that I could meet my expectations, part of what I always try to analyze is how do I give my boss whatever they need? And or, how do I help my boss in their weak areas in some cases, right? Everybody's got weaknesses and how do I supplement those weaknesses to where they're not weaknesses for them? They're strengths. And so that's just something that I've kind of always attempted to do. Sometimes better than others, but it's something I've always attempted. Paul Casey:                         Bosses love that. Bob W.:                                Yeah. Sometimes. Paul Casey:                         Well when you got in this position at MSA, what was your original vision and how has that morphed along your journey at the company? Bob W.:                                Well my current position as the president at MSA has been interesting. I've been there almost now two years and so a couple of years before that I was offered to become the COO and at the same time was with my predecessor, the president of the company, Bill Johnson at that time and came into Mission Support Alliance. The reason, frankly why I was selected for the COO role was I was there to supplement his weakness area in that he hadn't been a long-term Hanford person, so he didn't know the Hanford landscape. But he was considered to be a very good leader and he is and was and one of the best individuals I ever worked for. So together, really what we came in to do was Mission Support Alliance is there to really to enable the other Hanford contractors. We're the supporting role to do all the things behind the scenes to really to allow the other contractors that are doing that critical high risk work to do that. Bob W.:                                Being on the other side and being one of those other contractors at that time, one of the things that I think Mission Support Alliance was always struggling with was an understanding of truly what was needed on the other side to really truly enable them and be a true service provider. And what I mean by true service provider is not only give a service, but give a service in a way that they actually help them enable to do that. And so that was really what I aspired to initially as the COO and together as the president. And we made some adjustments, we brought some balance I think to people that actually spent time in the field and other venues with what I'll say, a kind of a commercialized approach to how to do that business and tried to meld those two together. Bob W.:                                And I think we had some success with that. So when I became the president, it was really to kind of continue the journey of really enabling and streamline in that part of the process and continue with some of that momentum that we built. I was able to bring in a lady by the name of Amy Basche that I've worked with before, that's from the business side of the house, where I'm really heavily strong in ops, back to pick the right person for the role around you. And she's been an incredible talent that we brought on that's helped us really start to shift into the next phases of this larger Hanford landscape as the mission continues to now kind of shift focus into eventually doing vitrification. Paul Casey:                         Yeah, I met Bill. Before I started doing this podcast, I did an old John Maxwell thing, which was take a leader to lunch and so I would do the same thing I'm doing now, asking questions to learn and grow myself. And Bill was the last one I think I had done that before I started the podcast and then the next month, he announced that he was leaving. And you were in that position of COO at that time. And he showed me in his office the... Was it an assessment that you guys took to what everybody's personality and strengths and weaknesses? Do you remember that? Bob W.:                                Yep. Oh yeah. We use an individual by the name of Luther Johnson that kind of came in and really kind of did an assessment that really told you, basically from about two years, two on, what you really are as an individual at your root base. So when you're on your high, high stress, you go back to that root base. It really is the phase you're acting in now, but also the base. And so it was interesting. So there's the thinker, the harmonizer, a rebel, and a couple of other ones. And it was interesting. So the harmonizer is one that's really highly tied to emotions. And the video they show is basically a couple of people up on screen crying. And sure enough, I'm a harmonizer. So I'm sitting there watching this thinking, wow, that doesn't look like me. I don't remember crying like that. Bob W.:                                But then we got into a little bit more depth about it's really about your emotions being kind of how you feel and what you do. And so anyways, Bill... Coupled with Bill, who's a strong thinker, who's a very logically based individual. And they start talking about the dynamics of how people interact when they have those different perspectives and they go on under stress. And so Bill and I were able to compliment each other very well there and it helped us give us insight on how to do that. Because Bill is very logical, very, very thinking, very smart. And of course I'm passionate about certain things, so we balance each other sometimes. And then sometimes we rotate it. So he'd always commonly joke that says, I just want everybody in the room to know that I'm the harmonizer today, not Bob. Right? So when he was being the nice guy in the room. Paul Casey:                         That's funny. Yeah. I'll still never forget the answer when I asked him, "How do you achieve work life balance?" And he said, "It's the team I put around me." Which it sounds like that's your philosophy too, from what you've already said a couple of times today, is I know that when I leave work I can shut off. Obviously I can get an emergency call or whatever, but for the most part I know all my people are carrying out the mission. And that is my best secret to work life balance. Bob W.:                                Yeah. And I think he's 100% right. I think in society we have a tendency to want to overload and within America, it's work till you drop. I think at some point you lose productivity if you don't have a fine balance of literally working and then having a balance of whatever your life is, to a degree, right? Whether it's your family, whether it's a hobby or whether there's having a balance. And I think a leader's responsibility is to ensure that they instill that culture by having the right amount of people and the right people in the right situations. And then making sure that you stay true to that. Paul Casey:                         Yeah. Well let's go there. You mentioned culture, you mentioned teams. So when you build a team, you create a culture. I know that starts with getting the right people on the bus. So what are you looking for when you're hiring? How do you assess everyone's on the right seat on the bus? What are the values you try to instill? All that stuff. Bob W.:                                Yeah so for me, I think it starts with when you go to hire somebody, you obviously need to make sure that somebody checks the blocks and has the skills that you're looking for. If it's an engineer, that they're an engineer. But that's really just I think a check in the blocks. For me, it's finding the right personality, the right type of individual that can interact and establish relationships and work in different cultures and climates and different people. And so to me, it's more the person, is who the person is, is more of a factor on whether they're going to succeed or not. From there I think it's when you get them on the bus, whatever the bus is that you're on. We all bring, even if we are a good relationship builders or good at working with other people and have a good skill set, we all have our natural tendencies, right? Bob W.:                                Some people are really hard pushers, some people really need to digest information for a period of time before they can do that. And then it's really identifying that and taking advantage of that from a team perspective that allows that person to be the most successful that they can in that environment. I once had an individual work for me that was a strong thinker, super, super intelligent guy, and I got frustrated when I first started working with him because when I was younger in my career because I'd ask him for something and I'm a quick decision maker. I make decisions pretty rapidly, but he's not. He's one of those ones that really had to digest information and it took me a little while to figure that out. Bob W.:                                But after I figured out that, okay, I can't give him something and ask him to give me an answer back in three seconds. It's not fair. He's not cut from that cloth. But if I give him something in advance and let him digest it and bring it back, usually what he always brought back to me was far better than anything I could have ever thought of. And so back to having the right people and then use them in the right situations. And that was a way to identify how to do that. Paul Casey:                         Yeah, studying your people so you know how to custom communicate with them. That's good. That's good. How do you keep your people affirmed, inspired over the long haul? Bob W.:                                That's a great question. I think that never ends. I think that's always ongoing. And I think that to a degree, it has to do with instilling value and purpose for everybody. Constantly evaluating that value and purpose, giving people a voice and allowing them to actually execute on that voice. So if you don't ask people for his opinions and don't allow people to act upon those opinions when you ask them and allow them to be successful, even though it might not be exactly what you wanted to do, you're probably not going to inspire them in a longer period of time to go off and achieve. And I think that is kind of an ever ongoing evolution that your kind of constantly evolving and constantly giving people opportunities and allow them to succeed in those opportunities. Paul Casey:                         Yeah. So Tri-City Influencer, it sounds like giving people a voice really is critical for their full engagement. No one wants to get stale in their leadership. So Bob, how do you stay relevant and on the cutting edge in your industry and how do you foster innovation in your organization? Bob W.:                                A couple of ways. That's a pretty round question or pretty large question. So I'll try to hit it in a couple of different areas. I'll start with the innovations. So we are in an ever evolving world right now that technology almost can't keep up with. We work in an industry that I work in with the department of energy industry that's highly regulated for a lot of reasons, right? There's a lot of hazards and you want to make sure to protect people. And those high regulations sometimes comes with a lot of hoops that you've got to jump through. Bob W.:                                So part of ours for innovations is to make sure that we have identified the right innovation that we need to bring to the table that has the right purpose because the effort to go put that innovation in place is quite a large lift. But if you've got high talented people, which we have some very, very innovative people, we just need to let them, once again, tell them what's the right one... Or ask them what the right one was and let them tell us and then give them the backing to actually go do it. And so that helps them with the inspiration part. Paul Casey:                         Yes. Bob W.:                                Right? So that was the first part of the question. I don't remember what the second part of the question was. Paul Casey:                         Staying relevant. Bob W.:                                Staying relevant for me, from a leadership perspective and to me is I have always... I do a lot of reflecting on myself, probably to the detriment of myself. So I do a lot of reflecting and look at myself and then try to adapt or modify myself to continue to enhance my capabilities. But I don't look for radical changes. I think at the core is you got to know who you are as an individual and stay true to that, who you are as an individual. And then I take obviously leadership opportunities. I take some leadership classes and from those you get something, right? There's a little bit of something. So I always just try to find that little something, then maybe I can go make a change. Bob W.:                                And then been back to the people around me, I learn a lot from those that I work around, watching how they do what they do well. Because frankly, I have leaders that work for me that are better leaders than me and in certain aspects and maybe all aspects. I have a great boss that I work with and I learn a lot from. So I take a lot of opportunity to try to learn from others and watch what they do well, as well as what they don't do well. Paul Casey:                         That was fantastic. Every person and every opportunity is a learning experience. I used to be a school principal in another life and I visited 52 other schools for that exact reason because there was something to learn in each one of those schools that I... What is it? The R and D, rip off and duplicate? I think that's what it's called. A little R and D on those visits to make my school the best it could be. So yeah, learning is awesome. Bob W.:                                The one thing I'd just like to add to that is I once went to a leadership seminar, it was women talking about leadership, inspiring leadership. And it was Carol Johnson from the local community that used to be a president of WCH back in the... Seven, eight years ago. And she said something that really resonated with me, is she said that she struggled to be a leader for a part of her career because she was trying to emulate her bosses. And her bosses were strong minded, strong willed- Paul Casey:                         Totally different style. Yeah. Bob W.:                                Yeah totally different style. And she just wasn't doing very well as a leader in that. And she finally realized that in order for her to be successful as a leader, she needed to be who she was. Which she's a very empathetic person, makes you feel very comfortable, very good with relationships. And she finally shifted to that. And she said that then she finally realized who she was and what her strengths were and stayed true to her strengths and tried not being somebody that she wasn't. And it worked well for her. She had a very good career and she was a really good leader and so that resonated with me a lot. Paul Casey:                         Yeah, authenticity and staying true to your strengths. Well hey, before we head into our next question, asking Bob what a good day is for him, a shout out to our sponsors. Paul Casey:                         When you purchase a new car, you hope that the warranty will be there if there are any problems. When men and women choose a life partner, there is no warranty and we're essentially committing to a relationship on an as is basis. That's great when the romance is high and the challenges are few. What about when the demands of career, finances and welcoming children into the mix happens? If it's a car, you know that regular service and maintenance can keep it running so that it lasts far after the warranty expires. Even the best model on the road however, will run down and begin to have problems if these crucial steps are not done. How is this like a longterm relationship? Do we just assume that it will last without periodic maintenance? Making certain that quality time together, staying connected physically, or communicating daily can support the ability of the relationship to last. Paul Casey:                         Just like anything of value, a committed relationship needs periodic maintenance and tune ups to keep it connected and exciting. When was the last time you considered a tuneup or engine check for your relationship? Sadly, many couples wait on an average of five years before they seek counseling or therapy to help them sort out what's not working. Don't wait. If communicating has become difficult, if trying to solve the smallest problem is leading to arguing or not speaking to one another or the challenges of parenting are driving each of you into different corners, be willing to seek help to get your relationship back on track. You know it can help you with that? Lynn Stedman, marriage and family therapist. Call (509) 366-1023. Paul Casey:                         So Bob, what makes it a good day for you personally? When you look back at the end of the day and you go, it was a good day. What kinds of things went on in that day to make it a good day for you? Bob W.:                                To me it was a good day is feeling like progress was made. I'm a very progress oriented person that I got to see something move forward. Sometimes that's a little nebulous on moving forward so and obviously finishing a project, making a progress on it. But to me, even more so is watching the excitement and folks being proud about what they do to deliver whatever that is. Watching the individual complete their task and in many cases watching a leader be successful with their group to show growth, to show accomplishment, back to that almost that coaching and that kind of that coaching, that teamwork part of it. Those are really important to me. Bob W.:                                And then probably one of my best days is finding out well after something's gone a long time ago to talk about legacy and leaving legacy, about seeing somebody be successful that you had some positive influence on that may have been years and years past that now you're watching them in their career and in their role do well. Or acknowledge, hey, I just did something that you told me I could have done a while ago and look, I just did it right there. That is... It's almost- Paul Casey:                         Like a proud papa. Bob W.:                                It's almost like a proud papa kind of to a degree, But it happens a lot. Right? And so you just never know the legacy that you leave behind with you. And I think to me, that's an important part is to make sure you left things better than when you came in. Paul Casey:                         Yeah. Because leadership is hard. So those moments where you get to relish in seeing someone in their sweet spot rock something with their team, is a very fulfilling leadership. Bob W.:                                Leadership is a very up and down heartbeat type of a role, right? There are highs and there are lows and there are everything in between. And so you got to focus on the highs when you have them and try to minimize those lows, whatever they happen. Paul Casey:                         All right, let's go behind the scenes in your life. Here are your best habits and your worst habits. Mr introspection. Bob W.:                                I don't know that I have a good habit. I'm not so sure. So I think my good habit is probably that I recognize to a degree that I am average. So I don't mean that in a bad way. I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed. I didn't get the best grades in school. I'd call myself a mediocre leader when it comes top to bottom. And I think I share the fact that I recognize that and use that to my leverage to allow other people to be better in those areas is something that I try to resonate and be proud of. Be humble about, to recognize that I'm not better than somebody else. Paul Casey:                         Yeah, I was going to say humility is what you're trying to define. Bob W.:                                Yeah. Yeah. And so my bad habits, some of my bad habits are... Geez, I've got a lot of them, right? I like to eat too much. I still eat like I'm a football player in college. I struggle with my weight. So my wife reminds me that I'm... She would define it as passionate about certain subjects that sometimes I really dig into and am hard to get off that subject. And I have a great wife and great daughters and great friends that remind me when I'm off center on something. With a baseball bat sometimes across the head to remind me that I should not be that way. So that's probably my worst habit I would say, minus my eating. Paul Casey:                         So since you're introspective, do you have your own personal growth plan that every year you either re-up or modify or anything like that? Bob W.:                                I don't know that I do. I don't have a written personal growth plan. I clearly have items that I am always striving to decide where I need to improve upon and evaluate. Being the reflective person that you called introspective, I think I drive my wife crazy in that I have a tendency when I know I have a big conversation coming up the next day with somebody that's going to be a potentially a controversial one, a hard conversation, I will play that conversation out in my mind before the conversation 55,000 different ways. Paul Casey:                         That's called rehearsing. Bob W.:                                It is to a degree. If this happens, this individual might react this way. I mean do they do that? And then on the backend of it is... And I drive some of my team nuts sometimes too is... And I'll do it off today too, is when I walk out of here after this podcast and this conversation with you, I will process this podcast and I will dissect it six ways to Sunday about where I did good, where I didn't do good, where I could've done something, said something different. I should've done that right. Oh I did this pretty well. And so my reflection is almost real time and never ending, which is I guess maybe a bad thing. Sometimes it's hard to get out of my own head when it becomes that. But that's just how I've always been. Paul Casey:                         Yeah. The good thing is everything's worth evaluating. Anything worth doing is worth evaluating. So that's the good part. The bad part is that rehearsing in your head- Bob W.:                                Stop the evaluation. Paul Casey:                         Yeah. At what point do you just go, all right, it's over? How about a favorite quote? Do you have a favorite quote? Bob W.:                                No, I don't know that I have quite a favorite quote. But I have up on my wall, one of the presidents, and I can't remember off the top of my head which one it is now, that really talked about the man in the arena. It's called the man in the arena if you look it up, right? Paul Casey:                         Roosevelt I think. Bob W.:                                Yeah I think it was Roosevelt. And in summary, it kind of goes along the lines of there is always those that are on the periphery of things, but not willing to step in the fight. But the man or in this case woman or person that's willing to step in the fight and have that move forward is really the true winner. And so to me is and it stems back to these roles that I've taken is, there are always those that are willing to sit on the periphery and throw rocks and stones at everything you do. But the people that I really admire are the ones that are willing to step in the middle of that arena and attempt to make it a difference. Right? To go off and try to do something to make things better. And so for me that's important and that quote resonates with me a lot. So I can't... It's about three paragraphs. Paul Casey:                         I think it's whose face is marred with dust and blood or something in that one. I'll have to put that in the show notes. I'll dig it up. How about a book that every leader should read? Bob W.:                                I like Maxwell books just because they're simple to read. Paul Casey:                         Me too. Bob W.:                                I like the 21 laws. Paul Casey:                         Classic. Bob W.:                                To me, I'm a simple digestive information and if you get things too technical, it just goes right on top of my head. And that one you can pick up, you can easy to resonate with, you can get your mind wrapped around it. For me, that one resonates well with me. I think every one of them you can learn from. It just really depends on what you like. Right now I got the General Mattis books, right? The Call to Chaos and I'm just getting into that. But I find him to be an incredible individual and somebody that I've always seen to be very forthright in how he talks to the point of being blunt, but in a way that doesn't offend. And so I think that establishing trust with people is willing to have a hard conversation and a hard dialogue to tell them the honest truth, which in society right now, today, in some cases people don't like, don't want to have honest truth conversations. Paul Casey:                         True. Bob W.:                                Or they can't have it in a way that doesn't completely offend the other person. Right? And so I'm kind of finding that one pretty intriguing and pretty interesting right now. Paul Casey:                         So if you left a letter on your desk for the leader who came after you, there's going to be a day. All of these contract renewal things, right? There's going to be a leader that comes after you. What would you put in that letter to that person? Bob W.:                                I think it would start with just trust yourself and trust the people around you. We in society sometimes have a tendency to not want to trust people around you or think that people are doing something with ill intentions. And I've said this and I say this to our company a lot and to our folks in leadership, that nobody comes to work or nobody does anything on a day with intentions of causing ill harm. Paul Casey:                         Right. Bob W.:                                They come to be successful and do something successful. So trust those around you, that they have a noble intention. Paul Casey:                         Some positive intent. Yeah I love that. Bob W.:                                Yeah they have a noble intention and then encourage them to attain that and give them the backing to allow them to do it and stand back and watch them do it. Paul Casey:                         Mm-hmm (affirmative) any other advice you'd give to new leaders or anyone that wants to keep growing and gaining more influence? Bob W.:                                I don't know that there's ever a new leader. I think you always in your life are always leading in some way or another. Whether you're trying to lead your sibling into a game or lead your parents into making a decision to give you McDonald's or whatever the case is. So my thing to new leaders is don't be afraid to be a leader. Don't be afraid to step up and take the assignments and don't be afraid to take the hard assignments. And then take every opportunity you can to learn. Paul Casey:                         Good stuff. How can our listeners best connect with you? Bob W.:                                Oh boy. Well I obviously am a Tri-Citian and I've been here most of my life. I work out at Mission Support Alliance. We're in both the Hanford system as well as in the Tri-Cities. You can hook up with me on Facebook or on LinkedIn. I'm a lot more active on LinkedIn than I am on Facebook. My wife, I let them do the Facebook stuff for me. I should probably do it more often, but I'm in both those LinkedIn and Facebook space. Paul Casey:                         Yes. Love LinkedIn. Well thanks Bob for all you do to make the Tri-Cities a great place and keep leading well. Let me wrap up our podcast today with a leadership resource to recommend. Started a new aspect of my business called leader launcher. Leader launcher is for emerging leaders and young professionals who want to go on a leadership development journey. And so it's a monthly, two hour workshop on one leadership proficiency and then in between the months seminars is a mastermind group where you get to apply what you have learned with other leaders here in the community. So you can go to leader-launcher.com to sign up and hope you'll be a part of that community. Paul Casey:                         Again, this is Paul Casey.

When he's not at work at the Urban Worker Project, Andrew Cash is a musician. On January 26th, he spoke to rabble podcast exec producer Victoria Fenner in Barrie, Ontario, between sound checks just before a tribute concert to the late Gordon Downey Jr. of the Tragically Hip. The concert was in support of the Gord Downie and Chanie Wenjack Fund. Andrew Cash is also a former member of parliament and one of the co-founders of the Urban Worker Project.   When he was a member of Parliament from 2011 to 2015, precarious work was one of Andrew's major issues of concern.  His National Urban Worker Strategy Bill was ground breaking legislation in Canada's Parliament dealing with precarious work and led to the first protections under federal labour laws for unpaid internships. The Urban Worker Project is an extension of that work.  Because Bill 148 only came into effect on January 1st of this year, Ontario is the focus of a lot of the discussion about labour changes, but changes are needed in other provinces too.  And changes are coming.  Does it go far enough?  Should it be a model for other provinces?

He moved 13 times in his 15 years of service (BILL - THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE!!!) Bill got his start in real estate as an accidental landlord in 2007 when he went on deployment and rented out his condo in San Diego. That continued in 2011 when he had to lead his primary That continued in 2011 when he had to leave his primary residence in Pensacola, FL and move overseas for the military. When he got back to the US, he was getting married and wanted to figure out a way to fully retire in his early 40's. Bill started buying rental houses and quickly realized that he was running out of money to build enough passive income to fully retire on. That's when he turned to house flipping to build the capital required to buy more rentals. Bill started a company called Blackjack Real Estate, LLC in 2015 and he enjoyed flipping houses so much that he has continued to use that strategy for the last three years in Pensacola, FL. In 2016, Bill committed to a large marketing plan and shifted to a wholesaling and flipping business. In 2016, he flipped 13 houses and wholesaled 54 others while having a demanding full time job. In April of 2017 he left active duty to pursue investing full time. Also in 2017, the company expanded into the Chattanooga,TN market did 170 deals and seven figures. Congrats on all your success Bill! IF SOMEONE ASKS YOU “WHAT DO YOU DO? WHAT IS YOUR ANSWER: “I day trade real estate from my house… that usually gets the conversation going because it makes them take a step back and say “What?” I used to struggle with that question...” MORNING ROUTINE: “The night before, when I leave the office, I write down my three biggest things I need to complete tomorrow and I check those off by 7AM. My son gets up at 7, I get him ready for school… we hang out as a family until 8 and then I take him to school… and then I like to go to the gym until about 930… and I usually start my day at around 930 or 10.” THIS IS GOLD… THIS IS WHAT FREEDOM LOOKS LIKE!!!! Because Bill set up the systems to basically run his business on auto pilot he can spend his mornings with his sons and wife … he can create the life he wants! MEMORABLE EXPERIENCE: “I saw my mentors… I remember the first few mastermind meetings that I went to… and they were sitting there without their computer open, with no phone, with their attention fully focused on us. Thats what they were doing. I was shocked at that. I was taking phone calls… everyone else in the room had their computers open responding to email … trying to listen but they were all in their companies… running their companies. And these other guys were sitting at the back of the room just paying attention to us. Just giving to us. I thought I would never get there… That was really eye-opening for me. And this “E-Myth” mentality… of how the company runs and building something and all these ideas of how you can work ON your business and not IN it… AND the fact that these were just normal guys and even though they run million dollar companies and they're not any different from you or me or anybody listening…” Bill is now one of those “regular guys” giving back to other investors. His company made over 1 Million last year. Bill is now a Mentor in House Flipping HQ with Justin Williams. He has helped dozens of beginning investors start their business right.

This week, Mike and Jay start off with a look at the North Korea summit, which President Trump canceled, but later suggested might be back on after all. The Guys discuss why the president canceled, what his plan is, and whether we're moving in the right direction. Then it's a domestic policy bonanza. First is a look at a rollback of the Dodd-Frank law passed in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis. Mike and Jay agree that smaller banks needed some regulatory relief, but Mike argues that the rollback does much more than that, and its loosened restrictions on larger banks put us in danger of another financial crisis. This is followed by discussion of the 'Right to Try' Act, which allows terminally ill patients to try largely unproven treatments, and a major VA bill that will give veterans more options for private care. Mike argues it goes too far down the road to privatization. Jay doesn't disagree, but he supports further privatization. Finally, Mike and Jay discuss the latest developments in the Robert Mueller investigation, particularly the 'Spygate' claims coming from President Trump and some of his supporters. *What Mike's Reading* The Hedges of the Garden of Liberty ( http://bit.ly/2xekrTL ). Why does Trump get away with corruption? Because Bill and Hillary Clinton normalized it ( https://read.bi/2xfQ2Et ). *Please help us out by taking this super-quick & easy survey*.
