Brad's Mortgage Agent JourneyBrad, a licensed mortgage agent in the GTA, shared his background, including being born in England and moving to Canada at age 4. He grew up in Scarborough and Markham, attended the University of Western Ontario, lived in Las Vegas for five years, and worked at a Big Five bank for 18 years before branching out on his own. Brad discussed his experience in the banking system and noted that the early years in any business are crucial for learning and making mistakes.Mortgage Market Challenges and OpportunitiesBrad discussed the current mortgage market, noting that while purchase and new construction activity has softened, there is significant demand for refinancing and renewal options due to rising interest rates. He highlighted that two-thirds of Canadians have mortgages coming up for renewal between 2025 and 2026, creating opportunities for brokers despite market challenges. Paul emphasized the importance of problem-solving skills and adaptability in the mortgage industry, sharing an example of requesting a 7-day condition period to expedite complex deals, which he noted is still met with resistance despite the evolving market conditions.Real Estate Transaction Timeline ManagementBrad and Paul discussed the challenges of managing real estate transactions in a buyer's market, emphasizing the importance of setting realistic timelines for condition assessments. Brad shared an example of requesting a 10-day period for a refinancing deal, highlighting the benefits of overestimating rather than underestimating the time needed. Paul agreed, stressing the need to avoid last-minute requests for extensions, as it causes unnecessary stress for sellers. Both agreed on the importance of clear communication and preparation to ensure smooth transactions.Real Estate Pre-Approval StrategiesBrad and Paul discussed the importance of pre-approval and early introductions of parties involved in real estate transactions to ensure a smoother process. They also talked about the current and future state of mortgage financing, including the potential impact of AI and blockchain technology, with Brad expressing optimism about the human element remaining crucial in their industry. Paul shared his vision for keeping conversations human through his podcast, and they agreed to promote the podcast and follow up on potential collaborations.

From fear-mongering content creators to social media experts peddling doom, Canada's housing market has become an anxiety-fueled echo chamber where clicks matter more than facts. Housing analyst Ben Myers sits down with Adam & Matt to dissect how social media has weaponized housing anxiety across Vancouver and Toronto, creating a toxic cycle where fear drives engagement and nuance gets drowned out by extremes. The conversation cuts deep into the psychology behind "performative real estate" content and how perma-bears profit from keeping Canadians angry and afraid. What makes "performative real estate" content so addictive to stressed Canadians? Why has being a real estate "doomer" become more popular than being accurate? And in a world where being negative sounds more honest than being balanced, how can buyers cut through the noise to make smart decisions? Don't miss this eye-opening conversation about the intersection of housing, media, and human psychology.

This episode of the REIT Report's ongoing series “Building to Zero” features Ben Myers, senior vice president of sustainability at BXP (NYSE: BXP) and continues to dig deeper into the real estate industry's journey to reduce emissions from the built environment.Myers shares his view on why it is so important to take a long term view on electrification, which refers to the replacement of fossil fuel equipment, like internal combustion engines and gas boilers, with electric motors or heat pumps.The common case for electrification is that building owners can decarbonize and utilize equipment that is significantly more efficient. “Electrification of everything is what I'm here to talk about today. And in particular, how to spread this religion around electrification. I am a believer that we need to electrify the built environment and I'll explain why, but I do think that we need to take some important steps to get there,” Myers says.

In today's episode, we delve into the continuing trial of neonatal nurse Lucy Letby, accused of murdering seven infants and attempting to murder ten others in the UK. We'll discuss the closing argument of her defense barrister, Ben Myers, who maintains that there's no direct evidence implicating Letby in the alleged acts. We'll explore the counter-narrative suggesting that the increase in fatalities at the hospital could be due to increased admissions and staffing pressures rather than Letby's actions. Finally, we'll ponder the weight of the prosecution's claims against Letby and question whether she is a silent killer or an unfortunate scapegoat of an overwhelmed system.

Ben Myers is an award-winning director, writer, and actor, whose work has premiered at Austin Film Festival, Catalyst Story Institute, and whose writing has been recognized by the Sundance Episode Labs. His films The Vanity (2017), Power Out (2018), and A Lone Star Love (2021) have screened at film festivals internationally, and as a producer he has worked with brands like The Hollywood Reporter, Billboard, and RTE. Hosted by Zef Cota
After Ben Myers tried to capture the attention of his family for a time of Biblical study and worship to no avail, the Lord inspired him to put his theater background to good use. Ben cast his children in the roles of Biblical characters and encouraged them to act out Bible stories, resulting in a three-year process of re-enacting the scriptures together! This journey launched the creation of ActorsBible, an immersive, app-based experience that enables families to act out the Bible from their living rooms. The app includes visuals, dramatic music, a teleprompter script, and even sing-along lyrics. Ben encourages dads to step into their special role of family leadership and “direct” their children and spouse closer to Jesus. TAKEAWAYS The ActorsBible leads participants through the Bible in 1-3 years Ben explains how they built a 360 projection dome to create a fully immersive Biblical environment for the app Bringing the Bible to life helps children learn about Jesus and their identity in Christ at a young age and memorize scripture more easily There are spiritual evaluations to assess what lessons families can learn at the end of each Bible story in the app
In this episode, you will learn about a unique and interactive app that will revolutionize your family's devotions while disciplining the family. My guest is Ben Myers, founder of the ActorsBible app. One hundred years ago, it was the norm for dads to wake up early to meet with God and have something called "family worship." This was time spent together praying and singing a worship song to God, followed by the reading of a portion from the Bible and a brief discussion about the text. Sadly, this does not happen in most homes today. The role fathers play in the spiritual formation of their children is at the core of this exciting new tool to help fathers play their part in family discipleship.
Most of the results from yesterday's elections are in, and it's time to break down the key results. Veteran political journalist from Talk Louisiana, Jim Engster, joins us for more on the biggest takeaways from last night. And while the polls have closed, they'll soon reopen as the race for New Orleans Public Service Commissioner has gone to a runoff. The Advocate's Sam Karlin joins us for more on what the race will look like between incumbent Lambert C. Boissiere III and challenger Davante Lewis. But it wasn't just candidates on the ballot. In New Orleans, voters supported an amendment to change how City Hall officials are appointed. The New Orleans Advocate's Ben Myers tells us how this will give council members more oversight into the mayor's office. And, in an election that had experts worried about vigilante poll monitors and the potential for danger for election workers, voting seems to have gone off without any major incidents. We listen to what NPR reporter Miles Parks had to say about the issue. Today's episode of Louisiana Considered was hosted by Patrick Madden.
