Hassan Shah is an avid gamer and entrepreneur from Pakistan who is passionate about the intersection between connected fitness, sports, and gaming. He's set out to transform the fitness market with an innovative open world game, mixing Peloton and Zwift, which (among many other things) creates an all-encompassing experience with a unique monetization system. His company is called X-Originz and based in the UK. They're currently looking to raise £2.7m to order their first batch of 10,000 bikes and take them to market.  When it comes to starting a new business and the challenges it brings, Shah states, "Life is nothing without struggle. And that's always kind of stuck with me, and hopefully I'll pass that on to my children and we persevere and we keep going."  Hassan took note of the rise and fall of Peloton, some of the shortcomings of Zwift, and set out to create an app that combined the two, providing an engaging gaming experience. With his vision of a centralized data system and a bike costing next to nothing, he has the potential to reach a very large market (starting in the UK initially) and provide a solution for those struggling with fitness. In this episode, Pete and Hassan discuss:  1. How gaming has evolved from a young age to its current state. 2. The potential of the metaverse to connect different worlds and gaming experiences. 3. Creating an accessible and engaging bike fitness experience through monetization, data, and a kids version.

A lifelong love of prairie led sculptor and former architect BILL MCBRIDE to the rolling sea of grass and sunflowers that is Matfield Green, Kansas—population 45. Serendipitous introductions to fellow environmentalist, artists and conservation enthusiasts enabled Bill to find a home for his own work and his ongoing passion project, the Prairie Art Path.

In this Real Estate News Brief for the week ending September 3rd, 2022... why rate hikes might backfire, why economists are seeing a sharp increase in the housing supply, and what Elon Musk is saying about owning a tiny home in Texas.Hi, I'm Kathy Fettke and this is Real Estate News for Investors. If you like our podcast, please subscribe and leave us a review.Economic News We begin with economic news from this past week. A paper released at the Jackson Hole Summit argues that the central bank cannot control inflation by rate hikes alone. Researchers from Johns Hopkins University and the Chicago Fed authored the report, and say rate hikes could make matters worse without a reduction in government spending. The federal debt is currently at 123% of GDP which is down slightly from early 2020 during the beginning of the pandemic, but it's much higher than it has been since the mid-1940's. As interest rates rise, so does the cost of that debt. (1)The latest reports on the job market, and manufacturing, both show that the economy is still in good shape. It's still growing, but at a slower pace. A report from the Institute for Supply Management shows that new orders and employment increased, and that inflation was down slightly. It says there's one red flag – that some companies have bloated inventories which could put them in a tough spot if the economy slows down any more. (2)Meantime, initial jobless claims dropped to a nine-week low of 232,000 which means there's no sign of any big layoffs. Economists say this is one of the best barometers for economic health. (3) Job openings also expanded to 11.2 million in July. That's up from 11 million in June. The unemployment rate is currently at 3.5%. (4)Home price growth was down in July. The S&P CoreLogic Case-Shiller 20-city index deceased from 20.5% in May to 18.6% in June. The national index was up a seasonally adjusted .3%, but that's the smallest increase in two years. (5)Money spent on residential construction was down .4% in July. Economists expected it to fall because builders have been cutting back on their plans. Year-over-year, construction spending is still up 8.5%. (6)Consumers are feeling much better about the economy, now that gas prices have gone down. The consumer confidence index jumped from 95.7 to 103.2 in August. That's the first time it's gone up in four months. (7)Mortgage RatesMortgage rates are getting closer to the 6% level. Freddie Mac says the 30-year fixed-rate mortgage was up 11 basis points to an average of 5.66%. The 15-year was up 13 points to 3.98%. (8) Mortgage News Daily reports that the numbers from Freddie are way too low. It says the average is more like 6.23%. (9)In other news making headlines…Housing Supply to Increase SharplySome economists expect to see a big increase in housing completions in the coming months. The Calculated Risk blog says that even while housing starts slow down, builders will be finishing up many of the homes currently in the pipeline. That includes single-family and multi-family homes. (10)Bill McBride at Calculated Risk is estimating a 10% increase in completions this year to almost 1.6 million. That's because there's an unusually high number of housing units under construction due to supply chain issues.FSBO Is Not Very Popular Right NowA high number of home sellers have decided to go with an agent, instead of doing the deal on their own. The National Association of Realtors says that FSBOs, which stands for “for sale by owner,” typically rise during hot markets, but the latest Profile of Home Buyers and Sellers shows the opposite. FSBOs were just 7% of home sales last year. That's the lowest percentage in about 30 years. 15 years ago, 12% of sellers decided to go it alone. (11) The report says that sellers are finding value in the hiring of real estate professionals. Among the benefits is the competitive pricing of a home, help with marketing to potential buyers, and negotiating the deal.Elon Musk Does, In Fact, Own a Boxabl CasitaThere's been much speculation as to whether Tesla and SpaceX founder, Elon Musk, had downsized into a Boxabl Casita. We did a news story on this modular home several months ago, and there were rumors about Musk living in one near his SpaceX facility in Texas. In a recent interview, he confirmed the purchase of one of these homes, but said he uses it as a guest house, and not as his primary residence.The basic model is 375 square feet in size and folds up for delivery. It only takes a few hours to set up and costs about $50,000.That's it for today. Check the show notes for links.

It's not easy to predict the future. But when you're buying a house, it's nice to have an idea of what could happen. How can you interpret the real estate market data to accurately forecast what's to come? In this episode of the Top of Mind podcast, Mike Simonsen joins Bill McBride, housing market expert and author of the blog Calculated Risk, to discuss his 2022 real estate market predictions.

2005 Annual Report   Big Cat Rescue's Mission Statement:  To provide the best home we can for the animals in our care and to reduce the number of cats that suffer the fate of abuse, abandonment or extinction by teaching people about the plight of the cats, both in the wild and in captivity, and how they can help through their behavior and support of better laws to protect the cats.   Advances:  In 2005 the IRS reported that there are 964,000 registered charities in the U.S.  Only 81 of them qualify for and display the BBB Wise Giving Alliance Standards seal.  Big Cat Rescue is one of them. This seal confirms that the organization meets all 23 of the Standards for Charity Accountability. We have become so well known in the area, that our volunteers complain about wearing our logos in public because everyone loves us so much they just have to stop us and tell us so. Howie Baskin helped a Girl Scout troop organize our first Golf Tournament which netted 15,000.00. Invested in undercover surveillance equipment to shed light on the dirty truth behind the exhibition and exploitation of exotic cats.   Animal Care:  We added more whole prey to our cats' weekly diets and switched over to a prepared diet created by Natural Balance that improves their health via vitamin supplements. Faith the baby bobcat was upgraded to a much larger and more challenging Cat-a-tat where she had to learn to “out-fox” her food. Later, after completing her survival training, she was released onto 17,000 acres of pristine bobcat habitat.  President Jamie Veronica, and the interns track her weekly to insure that she is thriving on her own. We had to turn away 85 big cats that were no longer wanted by their owners but we rescued Snorkle the tiger from a circus owner and brought in tigers: India, Nyla, King, Princess and Narak from the circus. Rescued three baby mountain lions who were orphaned by a hunter in Idaho.  Their names are Artemis, Ares and Orion and they were neutered and spayed this year so that they can always stay together.   Staff and Volunteer Training:  Jamie Veronica got licensed by the state to be able to pick up injured or escaped wildlife.  In the past it had to be brought to us by someone who was so licensed .  Cathy Mayeski and Jen Rusczcyk completed the Clicker Training Expo in CA and now have 57 of our cats in the Operant Conditioning program. Jen organized and developed the Enrichment program making it one of the best in the country.   Jamie Veronica took the Intern Program to the next level and manages their housing, group activities and scheduling.  The Volunteer Committee re-wrote the Volunteer Program and the Intern Program and have updated ALL of our volunteers level of certification through testing. Some of our members attended the EARS training. (Emergency Animal Rescue Service) Hired green shirt Sharon Marszal to work filling orders for the gift shop and sent her to eBay training classes.  Read books on Non Profit Marketing, Adobe Photoshop, Dreamweaver and Flash to perfect our skills in these areas.   Education:  Our Education Director, Kathryn Quaas, is partnering with the Florida Aquarium to promote several joint efforts for schools and summer camps. We did legislative presentations to Stetson Law University on three occasions this year promoting a register to vote drive.  The Fur Ball CD of games, puzzles, screensavers and more were given to the 500 attendees with 300 extra being used as rewards for children who answer questions correctly during her presentations and field trips.   Howard began working with the Greenfund Network to create a joint venture in schools where kids turn in ink cartridges for recycling in bags that tell about Big Cat Rescue so that both their school and the sanctuary can benefit from the program.  Some kids may not care about raising money for scholarships, but they do care about saving tigers and this is a way to inspire them to keep these cartridges out of the landfills.   Filmed the rescue of three orphaned baby cougars with David Hurd Productions for use on the Animal Planet's new series that will be aired repeatedly, and thus help educate people about what is happening to their precious wildlife in the name of sport.  Six local libraries now stock our video, The Big Cat Picture in their documentary sections.   The portion of our web site that is devoted to education aimed at children through learning games has grown in leaps and bounds.  We added hundreds and hundreds of puzzles, free wallpapers, free screensavers and other educational activities that feature photos and drawings of the cats along with our message that “Exotic Animals Don't Make Good Pets!”  Began compiling worksheets and coloring pages for a educational handbook for students next year. Added FCAT lesson plans to our Teacher's Resource area. Used the Google grant to broadcast the availability of these teaching aids to students, their parents and teachers.  We participated in a study with Odd Cast that resulted in us being awarded 100,000 free streams for our Virtual Hosts.   Legislation:  Founder, Carole Baskin was unanimously elected to serve on the Board of the Humane USA Political Action Committee.  She was also appointed to the steering committee of the Florida Chapter of Humane USA. We enlisted the Florida Animal Control Association to help us approach the State of Florida in an effort to change the rules to better protect the animals and the public.  We were joined by HSUS and Humane USA in this endeavor and have asked the National Fraternity of Police Officers to join us as well. Carole was also appointed by Commissioner Brian Blair to serve on the Animal Advisory Committee and was elected secretary.  In November she was unanimously nominated to serve as Chair of the Animal Advisory Committee. We attended the Tampa Bay Partnership's Tampa Bay Day in Tallahassee and met with 25% of the state's legislators to ask for better animal protection laws.   We began promoting our Legislative portion of our web site that is dedicated to educating the public and legislators about animal welfare bills. 1,111,647 pages of bills were viewed by visitors.  We rallied support for the Federal bills to stop canned hunts with an aggressive online letter campaign to get people to ask their senators and representatives to co-sponsor this bill that would make it illegal to transport exotic animals across state lines for the purpose of injuring or killing them. We promoted hundreds of bills at the state and federal level. In just the first year we were responsible for 20,969 letters being sent to congress on behalf of the animals.   We launched our first online petitions and gathered 494 signatures on one to ban breeding and sale of exotic cats and 1878 signatures on 10 things we want legislators to know which includes the banning and breeding of exotic cats. We also launched our first online polls to see how people feel about issues such as animals in the circus, bobcats and cougars being hunted, exotic animal pets and more.  Response has been terrific and we are finding that roughly 85% of the public loves animals and want better laws to protect them and 90% do not want to see big cats being made to perform.   Attended AZA's Legislative session and Taking Action for Animals in Washington, DC.  Met with our Senators and Congressmen in D.C. and here locally to discuss the exotic animal issues. County Administrator, Pat Bean and Animal Services Director, Bill Armstrong both toured and interacted with the cats, learning about how we use operant conditioning for emergency preparedness.  We hosted tours for Hillsborough County Commissioners: Kathy Castor, Ronda Storms, Jim Norman, Ken Hagan, and for aids to Brian Blair and Mark Sharp.  We also toured Pinellas County Commissioners: Ronnie Duncan and Karen Seel.  We introduced these commissioners and State Representatives Kim Berfield and aids for Kevin Ambler along with team players for gubernatorial candidate Jim Davis so that they have a better understanding of why Florida needs laws to prevent the private ownership of dangerous exotic pets.   Requested that we be appointed to the state's Captive Wildlife Committee but were denied as the Florida Wildlife Conservation Commission decided to comprise the committee of exotic pet owners.  State Legislators made it known later that the Florida Wildlife Conservation Commission “had better fix this exotic animal problem or the legislature was going to get involved and FWCC was not going to like it.”  Began working on a memo with the help of former gubernatorial candidate Bill McBride's law firm that affirms a County's right to impose laws that do regulate exotic animal ownership as long as those laws do not single out exotic pet from other provisions that would apply to all.  In the past the Counties often thought they were helpless in the face of the constitutional amendment that had granted the Fish and Game agency the ability to act outside of the legislative process that all other states enjoy.   Fundraising and Marketing:  We had our first ever $10,000.00 day of tours and private tours in December.  Implemented our first direct mail campaign at Christmas with a request to support the three orphaned cougars.  We doubled the price of the Fur Ball tickets from 55.00 and 75.00 to 100.00 and 150.00 and raised a net of $60,000.00 (up from 40,465 last year) with only 500 attendees.  This enabled everyone to have a better time because there were no lines and our volunteers found it much easier to deal with 500 people at check out as opposed to 850 like we had last year at lower prices.  We discovered last year that at 55.00 we were just breaking even and for people for whom that was a lot of money we found that they did not spend money in the auctions so we had to evaluate whether the Fur Ball was a donor thank you party or a fundraiser and deciding it was the latter made the agonizing decision to double the price.   Opened an online store on eBay to reach a broader market with our logo's items and unique offerings. We tried MagFundraising.com for the first time and raised almost 3000.00 in magazine subscription commissions.  Our volunteers raised $3000.00 wrapping books at Borders Books.  Invested in Telosa's Donor Management software. We were given the front and back page of the Tampa Tribune's Commentary section and have been on several national programs including CNN, Fox, Animal Atlas on Discovery Channel and Animal Planet.   We purchased a second terminal for our Point of Sale system due to the overlap of tours beginning and ending in the gift shop.  In Jan our web site was averaging 170,000 hits per day and by the end of the year was reaching more than 300,000 hits per day with a surge to 744,000 hits per day thanks to a Google Adwords grant for unlimited advertising for three months. Cox radio gave us more than 100 on air spots to advertise the Valentine's Day wedding at Big Cat Rescue and gave us 300 more free advertising spots on air for our golf tournament on two stations. They also donated 300 spots for the Fur Ball.   Jamie Veronica's photos have been used in Biodiversity Magazine by Tropical Conservancy, and we created a Stock Photo portion of our website where featured artists donate their work and we sell the images online.  We set up Cafe Press and Zazzle sites to sell her images to raise money for the cats.  We were asked to apply for the WEDU's charity awards for our fundraising and marketing achievements.  The ink recycling program with Greenfund Network has succeeded far beyond our initial goals thanks to marketing the envelopes through our newsletter with now has a circulation of more than 35,000 homes.  We are candidates for the Webby Awards with the winner to be announced in 2006.   We created several video productions that tell viewers what we do including Orange Sky by Jamie Veronica and the Two Minute Tour by David Hurd.  In addition to this we created several new interactive slideshows including one called Born To Be Free that contrasts life in cages to life in the wild.  We started our first automatic direct deductions for banks and credit cards and a program with Albertson's where participating card carriers can have part of their purchases donated to us.  We created our first Big Cat Travel site that allows people to get the best Priceline prices on airfare, car and hotel rental, cruises and event tickets with the commissions paid to Big Cat Rescue.  Carole lost 17 more pounds with Matol and set up www.Matol-Diet.com so that others can lose weight, build their own home business and the commissions go to the cats as well. Volunteer Beth Stewart created and marketed a calendar of our sanctuary called Saving Big Cats.  This calendar was available at Amazon.com, Borders.com and BarnesAndNoble.com and we sold a number on site and on line as well.  The calendar was produced by TideMark Productions and featured photos of our cats for every month and their personal rescue stories.   With the help of Teasdale Worldwide Howard Baskin created our first formal Corporate Sponsorship program, both in general and for the Fur Ball.  We held special kid's tours after Thanksgiving and Christmas and were packed and got a lot of good press coverage for doing something for the kids.  We were in the press 48 times in 2005 and many of these were interviews with Scott Lope.  We were in Glamour Magazine twice, on CNN, The New York Times, The Washington Post, Inside Edition and were instrumental in providing background information for Parade Magazines' piece on the exotic pet trade and for ABC's Prime Time that should air next year.  We have a PSA that was made jointly with the Girl Scouts of America that is airing nationally to encourage young people to get involved and do something good in their community.  We ended the year with money in the bank to begin building our Big Cat Lodge.   Grounds Improvement:  Completed two more tiger Cat-a-tats for the circus tigers in case of emergency. New Cat-a-tats were built for cougars; Mack and Cleo along with hurricane proof dens for each of them.  Cages were reshaped and room additions built for Caracals; Rusty & Sassy and Cachinga & Cachanga.  The same was done for the Serval; Alpha, Bobcats; Alex & Windsong and Banshee.  In addition many of the cats got hammocks, swinging platforms, secondary dens just to play in and Alex & Windsong got a new fort.  Tonga was moved and his old roofless cage was turned into a temporary playground for the three orphaned cougars.   The E-Center was whimsically painted to look like a leopard and the Cabins were painted by volunteer Julie Hanan to look like a tiger.  Butterfly gardens were added by Kathryn Quaas and the kids of summer camp to the Cabin area.  We moved the cavies off the tour route to a much larger enclosure and tore down the old otter cages that they had lived in on the lake.  The area was cleared so that there is a beautiful view of the lake and the tigers and lions beyond now.   Brought in a new Intern home that is a 4BR/2BA and Vern built a deck that is perfect for socializing after a long day of cat chores. Cleared all Brazilian Peppers from the back forty and built a road around the cell tower to make the back parcel more accessible. This area required heavy clearing and then bush hogging of dog fennel and some fill over the concrete to turn it into a lovely park like area.  Stood falling wall back up. Weeded and planted ferns at the beach. Began massive clean up of Styrofoam from lake banks. Bought a new shed for the two new golf carts and a new riding mower.  Added lots of filing cabinets and storage cabinets to the gift shop and office. The fenced waiting area had a cola machine, waterfall and lots of landscaping and mulching added to create a nice place for guests to wait for their tours.  Donor recognition signs were added to this area.   Bought three more acres for alternate access and parking and cleared the land of dog fennel so that we can keep it mowed.  Took on debt for the first time in our history with the purchase of this land.  Began negotiations with Outback and the County on building a multi use Education and Conference Center called the Big Cat Lodge.  Unveiled the new conceptual drawings of this improvement created by Collman and Karsky with help from Genesis at the Fur Ball. Applied for a Planned Development for this additional 3 acres to give us cross access, parking and 6 more residences for interns and volunteers.   Helping Others:  We invited other animal welfare groups to use our Legislative tools in customized banners on their web sites so that they could encourage their visitors to write their representatives about important animal welfare issues. We hosted the Alzheimer's Memory Walk for 600 walkers who raised 50,000 for Alzheimer's victims. Worked with PAKT to help them negotiate a deal with the circus and AZA for promoting responsible, life time care for animals who have had to work for a living. Continued to help ACT by driving the Spay Day trailer each month so that 100-160 cats per month can be spayed.   Charities that we donated to this year in the form of Free Passes to our sanctuary:  100 passes to No More Homeless Pets Adopt-a-thon 30 passes and gift certificate for a Big Cat Expedition to Florida Voices for Animals, Donated a Big Cat Expedition, a Feeding Tour and more to Animal Coalition of Tampa for their Some Enchanted Evening fundraiser and the same again to their Stride For Strays walk-a-thon. Donated the use of our facility to the Humane Society of Tampa Bay for their Volunteer Appreciation party and to National Humane Society for their volunteer and donor recognition party at Christmas. Donated an Expedition and Two for One Passes to SPOT and worked with them to create a segment on Pinellas County's Public Access Channel. Hosted a party for a team of Florida Panther protectors.   We raised 1250.00 each for EARS and HSUS to aid the animal victims of Katrina and 1000.00 each for conservation programs to save the margay in Brazil, to help start an eco tourism lodge in Guyana and to assist Lewa in Africa.   Other:  Gave a private tour to Toronto Blue Jay's Shea Hillenbrand. Customized a golf cart for hurricane use by creating a cat-proof cage to drop down over the carriage so that we can access any part of the property in the event of a cat being loose.   In a year when tsunamis, earthquakes and hurricanes ravaged the globe and other sanctuaries, even good ones, found themselves considering the euthanasia of their animals rather than let them starve due to the drop in donations we were able to thrive.  We are thankful to our staff and volunteers who worked tirelessly to make this possible and to all of our donors and visitors who kept our cats fed in these worst of times.   The saddest news is that we now have to turn away nearly 100 exotic cats every year, because we cannot afford to take in all of them that are being bred and sold into the entertainment, pet and zoo industries.  The most common victims are Lions, Tigers, Cougars, Servals, Caracals and Bobcats.  We are now devoting more time to raising awareness and trying to get laws enacted that will protect these magnificent creatures from man.   The mission has evolved from just saving the cats that ended up in places like fur farms, hunting ranches and auctions, to making a difference on a global scale. People who come here and spend time with our cats are transformed.  I hear, over and over again, how people feel like their lives were changed forever by knowing these animals on such a personal level.  Many times I have heard visitors say, “I looked into that cat's eyes, and I saw God!”   For many of them, it is the first time that they have ever felt that they were intimately connected with the rest of creation.  It is a wake up call that we are all ONE.   It is my dream to integrate the beauty and majesty of the great cats with the inner awakening we can enhance in our visitors.  By making people more aware, we can make the world a better place.   Our Officers and Board of Directors • President Jamie Veronica (not compensated by BCR) • Vice President & BOD Cathy Mayeski (not compensated by BCR) • Secty/ Treasurer  Vernon C.

When asked about the digital "hybridization" of the industry, long time industry veteran Bill McBride states, "It's going to be like a swimming pool. Not all your members are going to use it, but when you sell a membership, everyone wants it! So you must have a strong virtual, digital program available, now more so then ever." This wide ranging discussion touches on the effects the pandemic had in our sector, the stronger footing we must gain in Washington to effect real change, the need for licensure and standards, thoughts on the next few months as things continue to open up, and more!

Muchas industrias han sido devastadas por el cierre económico causado por el virus COVID-19. Bienes raíces no es uno de ellos. Mark Fleming, Economista Principal de First American, acaba de informar: “Desde que alcanzó un punto bajo durante las etapas iniciales de la pandemia, la única industria mayor que muestra inmunidad a los impactos económicos del coronavirus es el mercado de la vivienda. La vivienda ha experimentado una fuerte recuperación en forma de V y ahora está superando los niveles pre-pandémicos”. La demanda de los compradores sigue siendo fuerte entrando en el otoño. ShowingTime, que realiza un seguimiento del número medio de exhibiciones a los compradores en propiedades residenciales, acaba de anunciar que las exhibiciones a los compradores aumentaron un 61.9 % en comparación con la misma época del año pasado. Ellos pasaron a decir: “Normalmente, la actividad en bienes raíces comienza a desacelerarse a finales del verano, pero este año alcanzó su punto máximo en julio, agosto y hasta septiembre”. Hay un gran desafío La demanda de los compradores es tan alta que el mercado se está quedando sin casas disponibles para la venta. La semana pasada, realtor.com informó: “Desde el comienzo de la pandemia COVID en marzo, casi 400,000 viviendas menos se han puesto para la venta en comparación con el año pasado, dejando un agujero en el inventario de las viviendas de los Estados Unidos”. La Asociación nacional de Realtors (NAR por sus siglas en inglés) reveló que, mientras que las ventas de las casas se disparan, el inventario de las casas existentes en venta está disminuyendo drásticamente. A continuación, se muestra una gráfica del inventario existente (los números de septiembre ) Los constructores de las viviendas están aumentando la construcción, pero no pueden mantenerse al día con la demanda alta. Bill McBride, Fundador del blog Calculated Risk, en el debate sobre el inventario de las casas nuevas en construcción, señala: “El suministro mensual disminuyó a 3.3 meses… Este es el récord más bajo del suministro mensual”. ¿Qué significa esto para los vendedores? Cualquier persona pensando en poner su casa en el mercado no debe esperar. Un vendedor siempre negociará la menor oferta cuando la demanda es alta y la oferta es limitada. Esa es exactamente la situación en el mercado actual de bienes raíces. El próximo año, cuando se espera que la pandemia esté detrás de nosotros, habrá muchas más propiedades llegando al mercado, no espere ese aumento en la competencia en su vecindario. Ahora es el momento de vender. En conclusión, Vamos a comunicarnos hoy para poner su casa en el mercado en este momento óptimo para la venta. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/alfredorosalesrealtor/support

"Nothing Replaces a Face to Face Conversation" About Today's Guest Chantal Brodrick worked for 15 years  in senior sales and marketing roles in the media industry before transitioning careers.  In 2008 she became a qualified Personal Trainer and Group Fitness Instructor.  Soon after she combined her corporate background with her love of fitness and became a Fitness Business Coach.  In 2015 Chantal became the host of The Fitness Business Podcast.  Now with over 217 shows and 350,000 downloads, it is the world's leading podcast for fitness business owners and managers. Chantal has interviewed over 250 fitness industry leaders, coaches, consultants and authors including Jim Worthington, Rick Caro, Bill McBride, Brent Darden, Derek Gallup, Alison Flatley, Mo Hagan, Carrie Kepple, Emma Barry, Ryan Holiday, Jeb Blount, Michelle Segar and hundreds more. In 2019 Chantal was recognized as 1 of 20 'Women Who Inspire' by IHRSA's Club Business International Magazine and this year she is a featured speaker and MC at industry events across the world including, IHRSA, FILEX, IDEA, Athletic Business Show and FITEX.   Show Notes We begin the show by talking about how Chantal’s first job began with a 15-year career in media and marketing roles. Fitness was her second career and even though she got a relatively late start in the industry, her marketing background made up for any time lost. After three years of juggling her media and fitness careers, she took the leap to move into fitness fulltime. Chantal shares that the first three years were a struggle, as despite having a business background she was finding herself piecing things together and was becoming too spread out over too many areas to make an impact and almost gave up. However, once she decided to tap into her past and utilize her media background in her present career she soared and she became determined to use her skills to help others in the industry who were also struggling and teach them the business skills necessary to turn their passion into a sustainable business. Chantal encourages everyone to really think strategically about any move that you want to make and invites you to keep your eye on the long game. She believes the strategy piece behind everything that she does is the key to her success. Chantal asks us to think not just about just selling our services, but focus on the overall blueprint of our business. In addition to providing a service, she invites us to think about the following when visioning your best future career: 1. Who is your target market? 2. What do they want? 3. What sort of products and services do you need to deliver to them? 4. What does your business look like - not only right now in this present moment, but what will it look like in six months, in 12 months and in three years? 5. What are the financial goals that you are setting for your business? 6. What's the vision that you have? 7. What's the mission that you are trying to achieve? We move to talk about the struggles that can arise when trying to balance our passion with the idea of making a profit from our passion. Chantal believes there are key areas that she feels are essential to turning passion into a profitable career. 1. Identify your passion and ask yourself is it a sustainable interest? 2. Can you stay in it for the long game? 3. Are you confident that there is enough content, products or services that you can provide to this market to make it sustainable? 4. Is this market big enough to make it sustainable? 5. Is it something that you can build a business around? Chantal reminds us that doing research around the needs of our target market is absolutely key. That will mean going out and talking to your customers, talking to the people who you feel are your target market. And in addition to researching your target market – research your competition. After looking at your competitors (for inspiration) find your unique point of difference or your unique selling point - what can you offer that nobody else can offer? Chantal also encourages to take the time to check back in every so often with the people we want to serve to make sure we stay on top of the changing needs of our customers. Chantal wants us all to remember that while it is important to collect that data, and stay on top of the research - that nothing will beat sitting down for face to face conversations with the people you want to help. Even if your business in online use the amazing technology like Skype and Zoom to look people in the eye as you connect and collaborate with your audience. “People don't care how much you know until they know how much you care.” Additional Takeaways: 1. Always be a student and always be learning, both inside and outside of your industry 2. Ask for help and find a mentor 3. If you go to conferences and events be sure to step outside of your circle and take the time to meet and connect with people you don’t know 4. Get your backend systems in place so you can run a great business on the front end/ 5. Make your business as efficient as possible 6. At first, try all things and then narrow down your market as you learn where you do your best work and who you enjoy working with the most 7. Put your learning time into the areas where you feel the least confident

What were the major changes made to the new tax code? I’ll break them down right here. Thinking of selling? Get a free home valuationThinking of buying? Search all homes for sale on the MLSAs you’ve more than likely heard by now, a new tax code was placed into law at the end of 2017. But what’s new about this tax code? What impact will it have on the real estate market?There were three major changes proposed to the tax code:1. Changing the requirements for the exclusion of gain on the sale of a principal residence. The original proposal was that owners would need to live in their house for at least five of the last eight years to claim this exemption, but the new tax code ended up foregoing this change; owners still only need to have lived in their house for at least two of the last five years. Because the change was avoided, this will have no impact on the market.2. The reduction on the limit of the mortgage interest deduction (MID). Originally, the proposal was to reduce the limit on the MID from $1 million to $500,000, but the limit on deductible debt was actually reduced to $750,000 for loans taken out after December 14, 2017. Assuming a 20% down payment, this will only impact buyers purchasing homes between $938,000 and $1,250,000.The elimination of SALT deductions would have been tremendously detrimental to real estate had it passed. There are two opposing opinions about how much this change will affect the market as a whole. Calculated Risk’s Bill McBride says that it will have very little impact on the housing market. However, Capital Economics suggests that “the impact on expensive homes could be detrimental, with a limit on the MID raising taxes for those that itemize.” 30% of all Americans itemize, so those who don’t will receive a big tax break.3. The elimination of the state and local tax deduction (SALT), which includes property taxes. This would have been tremendously detrimental to real estate had it passed. Instead, the new tax code allows an itemized deduction of up to $10,000 for SALT, so, while it wasn’t eliminated completely, it was still limited.Bill McBride says, “SALT will have an impact on housing in some areas. Some people might choose to live in one state over another based on taxation. This could impact demand in certain states.”So what does all of this mean to you? To understand how the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act will affect you personally, be sure to check with your accountant or tax advisor.Now that you have a better understanding of how these changes might impact housing, if you have any questions about buying or selling your home, consult with a local real estate expert like the Mitchell Group to get the answers you need and deserve.
