We're excited to have Blake Rose and Brian Price from Ola Beach Tennis on the episode. These childhood friends-turned-entrepreneurs share their journey of bringing the vibrant and accessible sport of beach tennis from Rio's shores to the sands of Southern California. Learn how they transformed a fun discovery abroad into a flourishing community-building sport that mixes play, wellness, and social interaction. Beach tennis isn't simply about the game. These guys have created a fantastic space where people can connect authentically, get some exercise, and be outside, all without the traditional pressures of the standard "networking over drinks."  Regarding the customer experience, they state, "We invest 100 percent of the profits back into the business. That's another thing to add is that because we're not drawing a paycheck from this, all the revenue we derive goes into the client experience, and it will in perpetuity while we're running it."  Key themes discussed Beach tennis: Competitive sport with growing popularity. Italian players growing the game, brand emergence. Beach tennis: Easy on the joints, fun for all. Instruction provided by professional Brazilian players. Flexible levels. Intentional, inclusive approach to growing beach tennis. Networking through sports builds stronger team morale. A few key takeaways: 1. One of the prominent themes is the focus on building a community around beach tennis. They emphasize inclusivity, ensuring that participants of all skill levels feel welcome and can engage with the sport. They've worked hard to create an environment where players of all levels can find a place, enhancing the social aspect and fostering connections among participants. 2. Another key takeaway is the idea of providing a healthier and engaging alternative to traditional social outings like bars. Events and games like beach tennis offer physical activity and fun while still facilitating networking and social interactions, arguably enriching connections more than standard social drinking settings. 3. The episode also delves into how beach tennis is growing as a sport globally, with roots in places like Italy and significant communities in Brazil, Miami, Osaka, and now in Southern California. This accessibility and growing popularity point towards it being an emerging trend in recreational and competitive sports. 4. The founders also discuss managing their day jobs while growing the beach tennis community. This balance allows them to reinvest profits back into their events, focusing on community and user experience over rapid financial growth. This model could inspire other entrepreneurs to pursue their passions even if they work full-time jobs. 5. The conversation also highlighted how sports like beach tennis might contribute to helping solve larger societal issues like loneliness, obesity, and general health by getting people actively engaged in enjoyable physical activities, not "just" the gym. The discussion encourages other communities and leaders to think about similar inclusive sports initiatives for substantial social impact.

The third panel from The Darkside of Brighton book festival held at the Old Ship Hotel in Brighton on 28th October 2023.    Featuring Chris Curran, Ann Bloxwich, FE Birch, and Brian Price 

Brian Price, head of investment management at Commonwealth Financial Network, says it's hard to make a case for risk assets like stocks to move much in either direction and the mixed signals extend to the economy, which he believes will avoid the extreme moves in either direction. As a result, he discounts the potential for an economic hard landing -- despite expecting below-average economic growth -- despite expecting lackluster performance as current conditions play out into next year. Similar sentiments were expressed by Thomas Winmill, manager of the Midas Fund, who notes that gold has been a better hedge for inflation of late than it was at the start of the interest rate-hike cycle, but who notes that the real potential in precious metals moving forward will be more about total return of the asset compared to stocks. Winmill, who also manages Dividend and Income Fund, says he expects a coming downturn to strengthen the many buys he currently sees for investors willing to look past the few stocks that have led the current rally. Also on the show, Jill Gonzalez discusses WalletHub's analysis that a small Federal Reserve rate hike will directly cost Americans billions of dollars in extra interest charges, Lester Jones talks the latest business conditions survey out this week from the National Association for Business Economics -- which shows surprising optimism among economists -- and Chuck answers a listener's question about investing for income.

Former convict and chef Brian Price has revealed that during his time in a Texas prison, he cooked for 218 inmates on death row prior, but there was one last meal he just could not bring himself to prepare. Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

In today’s episode of Leafy Podcast, our hosts sit down with Logan Freeman, Founder of LiveFree Investments. Logan Freeman began LiveFree Investments in early 2018 after the corporate world had let him down one too many times. Real estate has always been his passion and got kicked into full gear after completing his first live-in flip in 2013. Today, with over 80 successful real estate transactions and $13 million completed for investors annually, he has created a proven track record to provide his investment clients the confidence and security they desire. Logan feels there are two things that set him apart from other investor agents; his never ending hustle and is proactive communication. He is continually investing in himself so he can provide great value to his investors; making sure to pivot and listening to what the market is providing. A driving philosophy is, “What got you here, won’t get you there.” Logan tells us that  Kansas City, Phoenix and Indianapolis are great markets that are seeing rent growth during the pandemic. He advises to do your due diligence in the market you are looking for and find a broker that has the network necessary to understand and help you succeed.  To learn more about Logan Freeman, visit: https://www.livefreeinvestments.com/ Episode Transcript:Female Announcer  0:00  Welcome to the Leafy Podcast, helping real estate investors and entrepreneurs grow.

So I'll go ahead and pass it on over to them so we can get the show started. So hey, Jennifer. Hey, Brian, how you guys doing? Jennifer Gilgoric  5:21   Great.Well, I'm excited to talk to someone Our guest today has a philosophy of what got you here won't get you there, which I absolutely love. He is the founder of live free investments. they've raised over $15 million dollars worth capital. They've done over 120 some odd transactions completed $75 million worth of transaction volume back in 2008. Or, well, he got his kit he kind of got kicked in the real estate industry and kicked off for his first live in flip back in 2013. And he's been blowing and going ever since. So I really want to give A great big round of applause. And welcome to Logan Freeman with live free investments and lift free investments calm welcome Logan to the show. How are you? Logan Freeman  6:09  I'm energized thriving in focus. I'm just just just drawing off of your energy. So good work, guys. Yeah. Brain Price  6:16  Keeps us all going. That's fair. Yeah, that's Yeah. So why don't you tell us about live free investments, which you guys do and what makes you kind of special than a lot of other folks out there? Logan Freeman  6:26  Yeah. So, you know, kind of twofold here in Kansas City. That's our market is Kansas City, Missouri. You know, we're a real estate brokerage firm. So we typically help a lot of out of state clients with their 1031 exchanges. And I was the head of acquisitions for a $50 million fund here in Kansas City, and what I learned during that period of time, and those were all mostly on single family homes, mind you, and so what I learned during that time was that, you know, there's a big need for buyer representation in the transaction process. And so when I moved my license over and started buying brokering commercial and multifamily properties, I brought this idea to my my broker I said, Hey, you know, I'm curious, do folks really work with buyers? She said, No, we just go after listings. Nobody works with buyers. They're tire kickers, and don't waste your time and, and I said, okay, but what if I created a system that I could identify folks who are doing 1031 exchanges that needed deal flow, they needed a team, they needed, you know, attorneys, right? They need attorneys, they need all these different things. And let me help them across the to get across the finish line. And she's like, Look, you can try it. But I don't know if it's going to work. Well. 12 months later, I had outsold the rest of the whole company. And so she said, Well, I guess it does work. And we've been doing that ever since. So that's the first thing is helping out of state buyers, you know, purchase properties and be successful in this market. And then the second thing is really focusing on our own acquisitions. And so we'll be close to over 1000 units by the end of this year. And those are all on multifamily deals. We've done some hotels and some office buildings as well, but primarily market rate multifamily properties here in Kansas City. So basically helping upstate clients either actively or passively get involved with real estate. Yeah. Brain Price  8:16  Okay, that's awesome. Because I think that makes a lot of sense because I know a lot of people that are trying to get, especially with the pandemic, get out of the big cities and go somewhere and invest in something that actually has some future to it, where the big cities aren't really that way right now. Logan Freeman  8:32  Yeah, there's been some interesting studies or just market data about Kansas City in general recently, so we landed some really large industrial hubs here in Kansas City on the intermodal side, which is creating a lot of jobs and warehousing, which right now is obviously really good. And then we have the largest concentration of animal hospitals and animal you know, veterinarian clinics and teaching those folks to do that here in the in Kansas City metro area as well. So So healthcare it is big too and and so unemployment has been beating the national average. And believe it or not everybody else in the markets like Texas and other markets are seeing rent decreases. Phoenix, Kansas City and Indianapolis are three markets that have been above 3% on their rent increases over the past six months. And we're still seeing that happen on our-- Tammy Geerling  9:23  Can you say that again, for our listeners, because you are not the first guest we've had who has honed in on the Kansas City Market. So I want everyone to listen to this, who is looking for investments right now. So our clients anyone who's looking to invest Kansas City and what are the other two? Logan Freeman  9:42  It was Phoenix, Arizona, great market in Indianapolis. And I have connections in both of those markets that can can connect to it too. But those are all three really great markets that are seeing rent growth, not not stagnant rent growth, just I mean positive rent growth, beating inflation during the pandemic. Tammy Geerling  10:00  And that's absolutely unbelievable in this market, but it's really great. It really depends on where you at. So one of the good things about real estate investing and for us investors is that you can you were mobile, you can be mobile of where you do it once you have the right structure. And of course, you know, that's what we do is get the right structure, you can kind of do whatever you want. I do want to put put a little buzz, if any of you guys are living in California, or Commonwealth state, and you're utilizing an asset holding company, like a like a Delaware statutory trust us specifically, as an asset holding company. I want you to listen to him on this 1031 Exchange. I know that there's a lot of people who want to put on the brakes, they hear that and they're just like he because there's a lot of moving parts to that you need a Qualified Intermediary to be able to help you and you have a timeline and that stresses people out. You don't have to be stressed out with that if you have the right network. So can you talk to me a little bit about your 1031 Exchange and how you've been able to help buyers through that process, which can be quite stressful. Logan Freeman  11:05  Absolutely. And I think that it, it comes down to two things, it comes down to me having the best relationships and network in Kansas City. That's my job to know, the best attorneys, the best legal, you know, people, but also the best financing companies, title companies, property managers, contractors, when you think about that somebody coming in from out of state, you know, maybe California I mean, that's where 95% of our transactions come from, is California into into Missouri, or it's pretty similar. But anyways, you know, when you think about that, that's, that can get really, really stressful if you have to try to build all of those relationships. So finding a broker like myself, who has those connections that you can leverage is extremely, extremely important. So the relationships and with the vendors is one. The second is deal flow. It's my job to know what properties are trading, what properties are not trading, what areas you should be in And you know what you should pay. And so you need to find somebody that's very active in the transactions in that market that will allow you to, to leverage that network as well. And so, you know, I always tell folks, if you're thinking about selling a property, identify your markets before you put your property on the market, figure out which market you're interested in, and then find somebody like myself in that market that can guide you through that process, right. So get ahead of it be proactive instead of reactive, that would be my, that'd be my suggestion. Unknown Speaker  12:30  That is a very, very good suggestion. It's always better to do that. And of course, having a network is very important, but you don't have to start from scratch. You know, when you're doing it by yourself, you're gonna have overwhelm but if you can connect with the right people and vet them, because you know, there's more than one person that you can talk to and find someone you have a, you know, you really like vet them out, make sure you do your due diligence, and that just makes everything a lot easier for you especially on projects like that when you're having to do it. You also One of the questions you want to ask when you're vetting for someone like Logan is, tell me about your work with real estate investors, especially if you're an investor, there's going to be a very different mindset for someone who's 1030 exchanging for their estate plan, because they just want another buy and hold, they want something that's going to be a legacy product, you know, or asset for their children. And then someone who's looking at this as an income potential and they're having to do a 1031 exchange, right? So you really do want to work with someone like Logan and a broker who understands the mindset for that. So whatever you're trying to get out of it. Don't be shy to tell them this is what I'm trying to get out of it. Have you ever worked with someone like me before? How did that go and have a conversation so you can you can feel like if they really understand you, because it'll make it a lot better? Logan Freeman  13:53  Absolutely. Fantastic advice. I don't have anything to add to that. That's Brain Price  13:59  Awesome. So Let's talk about you know, how what are the deals looking like in in Kansas City? And what kind of things you're looking for when you are putting a deal together for sure. Actual investors? Logan Freeman  14:10  Well, I'll just talk about a deal that we're working on right now. So I mean, we've got, you know, a portfolio of properties in what's called Independence, Missouri, which is just about 15 minutes, just east of our downtown. And, you know, it's 426 units. And here's what's unique about this property, or these these three different properties is we we went under contract right around the end of February, right, so kind of before, or at the end of February, beginning of March COVID was kind of a thing, not really yet. But what we did, we did see was was scarce, you know, scarcity in the market from a competitive standpoint. So, we were able to and I broker deals in this sub market all the time, we're able to look at the comps that were in that area and say, okay, you know, stuff usually trades 5556 a door over here. We're going under contract at 49. And it crossed 400 plus units, that equals two or $3 million worth of equity on the front end of this. So we saw less competition on the pricing, which was really important, then we were very curious to see how, obviously, occupancy stayed and then collections, right. And so those are the two biggest things right now is, is, you know, what are the collections look like? And what type of debt Are you trying to accomplish and try to place on this property. Those are the two biggest things. And so the collections on this have stayed above 92%. And across 400 plus units, that's really, really good. And then actually, they started to continually, you know, implement their business plan. So their value add business plan, which was going through the renovations, and then placing tenants at higher rents, so our noi on this property across those units has already increased $52,000 while we were on track, so I mean, that's pretty cool, right?  Jennifer Gilgoric  15:56  That ain't too shabby. Logan Freeman  15:58  Yeah.  Jennifer Gilgoric  16:00  Didn't work with that. That's good enough for me. Wow. Logan Freeman  16:02  So you know, I mean, I think that we're still trading anywhere between a 6% and a 7% cap rate here in Kansas City, depending on location, obviously the asset type and what the business plan could be. Our cap rates are still pretty attractive, just when you think about when you can go get debt, maybe 3% three and a half percent. So there's a good spread between capitalization rates that you're buying properties at and the debt that you're putting on it. And so there's there's a good spread there to be able to make some some dollars and some cash flow here in Kansas City. The other thing I would say that we're seeing a big opportunity and nobody's looking at because obviously COVID but his neighborhood retail shopping centers, and what I mean by that is not your big box retailers like your TJ Maxx is your Kohl's and those things these are Dollar General being the the anchor Family Dollar being the anchor, and then you have a chiropractor, you have a dentist, you have all of these service Based e commerce resistant tenants in the in the building, and these things are trading between eight and 9% cap rates. And the interesting piece about that is that we're able to look back five or six months now to see what have what have collections look before COVID during COVID? And where are they at right now. So you have data that you can make intelligent decisions on. Brain Price  17:22  You know, it's really interesting because a lot of people talk about, you know, staying out of commercial real estate all together. They said, Don't even touch it. But yeah, with stuff like that. I mean, it is people got to go to the chiropractor, or the dentist and stuff, there's no way to be virtual with that, you know, it's got to find meaning. Logan Freeman  17:42  They gotta, they got to do that stuff. And, and I don't know where everybody's located, but I mean, I took my wife out for our four year engagement anniversary last night at dinner, you know, we're in Kansas City, you know, I mean, so, but like, like I said, I mean, you gotta be really careful with The locations in the tenant mix. But when you find the right type of properties, nobody else is looking at that. And that's where you want to, to really kind of hone in on is where there's less competition, because you're not going to overpay for something.  Jennifer Gilgoric  18:12  I think e commerce resistant is really a buzzword. But a lot of people didn't understand what that meant. And we're talking about like, that came out right at the beginning of COVID. And then people, you know, became this buzzword. And now it's like a real thing. Like, let's see what's going to happen, because at first it was like, well, this is gonna kill small business, but I actually see with supply line differences and people getting so angry, you know, for social issues and other things like that at big box realty retailers. And what they feel is maybe not the best practices for their towns, I think that that there is going to be a different wave that's going to push small businesses and towns that employ local people that don't work together, because that's really the backbone and it's the heart of our country too. So I See it's coming back, I see these things coming back in this push to want to localize. And I am like so for that, you know, you can be both expansive and local. And there's ethical wonderful ways to do that that actually helps the economy and helps your neighbor and is good for everyone. So I love that we're having these conversations and I think it's super cute that you celebrate your engagement anniversary Yes. Logan Freeman  19:26  When you have two small children we have a three week old we have a 17 month old anytime that I can get wow our one on one because my I always tell her my three week old boy has has stolen my wife away like all he does. So it was really nice to have a date night last night. Yeah, Jennifer Gilgoric  19:47  that's a big smile on your face. And that's really super sweet. If y'all don't see it y'all need y'all need to catch the video episode because he's got like the like the blush in his cheeks and he's staying on the planet. So that's just Sweet.  Logan Freeman  20:00  She's my everything. Tammy Geerling  20:04  So okay, so where do you see it? Okay, so now we're still involved in like the weirdest time of everybody's life. Right? But But businesses are still going investors are still investing and we still have all this that we're thinking about. So besides retail and e commerce resistant retail, is there any other trends that you're seeing in your little micro area, which is the Kansas City Metroplex area? Logan Freeman  20:28  Yeah, you know, I think a few things the The first being that I want to differentiate between the different types of multifamily real estate there's what I call RPN or renting by necessity, or RBC renting by choice, you know, when this all happened, all of the class a multifamily guys were shouting for joy, oh, we're gonna be fine. Our rents are going to be great. You know, our guys are white collar tenants. They can pay, you know, $3 a square foot for rent and they're all excited. Well as that has started to come down. They started those folks. But this pandemic has hit the white collar now as well, if you look at the trends, so what's happening is those folks are not paying their rents and they're educated enough to know that they might live in a market that they can lawyer up and say, Hey, I'm not paying my rent. So what's very interesting is the push from what are called class a multifamily back down to the B and C class multifamily properties because those folks are out there. They're essential workers, and they're still paying their rents. And so, you know, that's one trend I would say is my sister is moving back from Kennewick Washington or Yakima Washington right now. And she moved back and we have all of these new deliveries downtown, and they're all Class A and they're all highly amenitized. And guess what she got. She got an upgraded from a studio to a one bedroom. She got three months free rent, no amenity charge and free parking for three months. That is a Big indicator to me saying those guys are doing everything that they can just to get their rents up just to get their debt service, you know, cover. And so I think there's a big push now back to affordable and, you know, rents that are $1 $52 62 square foot here in our market, not 250 and $3. And people are starting to say, Man, I think I might want a little bit more space, you know. And so we've always focused on those larger units with garages, people love garages here, they got cars. And so we've always focused on that. So that's one big trend. I think the second trend that we're seeing right now is I don't know how to put this but it would be. We see folks that have traditionally been in the equities and the bond markets just from an investment standpoint, saying, Hmm, I wonder if there's something else right, especially folks that are 55 to 65. And they're saying oh my gosh, I just lost 33% of my portfolio, what can I do? That's not not going to be, you know, tangent on what the stock market is happening. So we've been educating, we've been doing a lot of work just talking about the different, you know, hedges against inflation, right? I mean, you think about that you think about the devaluation of the dollar with the Fed printing all of this money. So that's another thing to keep in mind. And we're, you're seeing, obviously, a lot of folks run to gold and precious metals right now. Because they're worried that the dollar is not going to be worth anything. I think the dollar is gonna be worth, you know, $1 for now, but at the same time, we've been seeing a lot of folks that maybe weren't interested in real estate, previously say, Hey, I didn't know I could invest in real estate passively. I thought I had to deal with toilets, tenants and trash. And I'm like, No, you don't. You can invest with somebody that deals with that stuff for you and get the same benefits. So I think the second trend that we're seeing is, that conversation is happening a lot more and more fully. are open to it as they they've seen kind of some of their their investments go to go to nothing to dust to fairy dust, Tammy Geerling  24:08  I heartily agree that there are many people now who are conservative by nature that, you know, they walked into to get their w two or you know, they're they said, Okay, you got these five phones. Here's the conservative one. Here's this, just pick one. And now they're hearing more about the things we talked about all the time solo 401k starting your own business, being able to be your own bank and aggressively make your money work for you. And they're like, Hey, I didn't even know I could do that. And then and then Is that legal? You know, it's weird how some there's this limiting belief that pushes back against being abundant or you letting the law work for you. Right? And that is a very limiting belief. So So get that out of your head and realize that there are laws that are there to help you. They want you to have a savings. The last thing we want is for people to have to live on. So security, it's not going to be there anymore. And the government does have programs for entrepreneurs and solopreneurs to be able to save into build a retirement because that person is is a benefit to society, you're a benefit to capitalism, or soda, or whatever we end up with, in this huge upheaval, people who are able to buy and add and keep themselves healthy because they have the income to do so and eat yummy, healthy food, because they can afford to do so are a lot more attractive than the people who lose everything in a public market. They thought they did well, and then they end up on some system, you know, and so utilize these things. This is where the pushes this is what the government's trying to do to help people educate yourself and then put these things into place. Yeah. Brain Price  25:45  And and also to note, the Fed actually is, you know, since 2008, they actually are investing in more distressed securities, which is part of what they their new thing that they have, they're not just printing money like they usually do so right on, so It's kind of another thing too in the Fed is kind of investing in real estate as well. So in that case, you know that it's a unique thing that they found in 2008. So that's kind of another thing as they print more and more money from this pandemic, you know, they're likely going to get into securities as well which will be having an impact on the real estate market. Logan Freeman  26:20  Now one last thought on that it's great point is that I just wrote an article on LinkedIn about this, the head of the SEC is pushing very hard for more flexibility for people with their solo 401 K's and they want them to be able to get into privatized investments like real estate, like businesses, all those things so you know, we're seeing some trends here especially during the COVID I mean, if the head of SEC is pushing for that I mean that's a that's a pretty interesting you know, what I call clue in the news right? The clues news Absolutely. Yep. Jennifer Gilgoric  26:53  Okay guys, so we've been talking to Logan Freeman Logan is with a Live Free Investments you You can go to live free investments calm just the way you spell it, no spaces and you can find out all about him. You can see him on another podcast. You can read his great quotes like one says knowledge alone is not power it is potential power knowledge plus massive strategic action equals power. Like Logan has like a lot of really good ones. Probably gonna end up stealing and not really stolen them. And, or, you know, at Logan, you're gonna hear someone say, Oh, I heard this girl Jennifer this great quote, you're gonna be like, that's my quote.  Logan Freeman  27:32  I love it. I love it. I grant you access to anything that's on there.  Jennifer Gilgoric  27:37  So don't, don't don't give me free rein loaded because I will take it and I will just run like a chicken with its head cut off. Anyway, so we're getting to the end of things. Can you think of anything else that maybe some potential investors whether or not they're brand new or they're just looking to diversify their already large portfolios might might get from what you're doing right now. They're in the Kansas City. area, you know, Logan Freeman  28:00  I would just say it's time to take control of your financial future. And, and that starts with education. So, you know, a lot of folks get really scared when we start to talk about economics, but you have to understand the fundamentals are what's going on, not only with the economy, but the financial system that backs our economy. So it's super important to know that those are not one in the same. And so macro trends that are happening, how those are affecting the micro markets that you live in, and that you can invest in. So find somebody that's an expert, some and then there's so much education out there, you guys do a great job, there's so many podcasts, you know, just Google and start instead of watching 400 episodes of Netflix, you know, start watching, you know, 399 and one podcasts a day, you know, I mean, so it's time to myself and make it make some really good financial decisions because it'll help you in the future. So that's all I would say. Jennifer Gilgoric  28:53  We've said a lot and I just actually love Logan, your spirit and you just have all this energy and I just wish you All the best of luck and I hope we have you on again. Thanks so much, Tammy. We're gonna have to end it before I just like grab him up and I adopt him in some way. This lovely family.

John founded Local SEO Search, where he helps small business owners grow and succeed, giving them a leg-up to compete with more established companies in SEO and being seen on the internet. John also has a podcast Local SEO Today, a tool for business owners and entrepreneurs to help them succeed. John tells us that understanding how Google works and being aware of what customers want and are looking for is how he begins with his customers. He tells us that to start, focus on running a business, the foundational components to operating a successful business and SEO and advertising on the internet is a secondary concern after creating a solid company.   John explains how to utilize certain online platforms for advertising by understanding the mode of communication and the purpose of each platform (Facebook, LinkedIn, etc.) , understanding what’s going on with the users and capitalizing on what is available.  John believes life is short, so embrace it and take on the adventure. You can run a business the way you want and do it well so that you can spend time with family and friends, which is what really matters. To learn more about John Vuong, visit: localseosearch.ca Episode Transcript: Female Announcer  0:00  Welcome to the leafy podcast, helping real estate investors and entrepreneurs grow.

And so his life has been this incredible journey. His parents were Vietnamese immigrants to Canada and then through his life. He as he went, he got a paper route. So he's always been an entrepreneur. So even as young, he had a job, he was an entrepreneur, he went on a paper route. Then he ended up doing finance classes there at the university in London on it, Ontario. So that's still Canada. Then he ends up going to England. Then he comes back to Canada gets involved with yellow pages and red pages, actually, which was a startup that was going to compete and they were going to do an actual written, they're going to print out website addresses, just like you had for the phone book. So yeah, this was back in the day. So it's like so cool. And then he managed to move that forward and move that forward. And now he's an SEO expert. So I want us to give a huge round of applause and welcome John Vuong to our show. And he's with local SEO H O Seo search.ca. So welcome, John. I just love your story. John Vuong  1:57  Thanks a lot, Jennifer. Yeah, that was a great Intro. Yeah, it's been a journey for sure. And I'm excited to share some insights along the way. Unknown Speaker  2:07  Yeah. So how did you kind of get through this? You know, going through these different avenues? How did you finally settle on SEO? And and once you walk us through us and I like to hear more about these red pages, I think that's pretty interesting. John Vuong  2:21  Yeah, definitely. So seven years ago, I started this agency, local SEO search. I had no clue about anything technical. So I'm not an SEO background expert by any means. I started my career actually in sales in advertising sales. And I studied business finance, so it was kind of different. But in order for me to get a real job, that was my first job, and I stuck with it, and over the course of many years, I refined my art of sales and marketing. And I got to really understand what my strengths are what I enjoy doing, and Yellow Pages where I was there for five years. The relationships is what really connected me with local business owners, and really wanting to help them grow and stand out because they were genuinely interested in the community, right, like real people supporting real community leaders, right, like computer people. But even before that read pages, so that was my first job actually, outside of university. It was the, it was a great concept. It was competing with the yellow pages. First directory ever going to every single business home office tower, but printed every website, so it was competing with Google, but Google wasn't like taking off at that time yet. Right? So it was called read to and it also came out with a directory read Toronto, but it didn't last it didn't survive. It was a great concept. So I sold a bunch of it because I was a true believer in it. But it just didn't. survive. Jennifer Gilgroic  4:01  I think it's an absolute scream that you are in finance and that you went into finances school, but you end up in sales and you're like a total sales he kind of, hey, let's talk because usually finance people are like, hey, let's not talk so I can like do this right here with these numbers that I love. And you're like completely opposite of that. So I always love it when the journey switches in in changes, and and that relationships are so important. And it is weird when we look back that there was a day before Google, you know that you had these books and everything like that. I have a house that's over 100 years old, and my son we we were we it still has stuff in it from the the lady who had owned it her entire life. She was like literally in her 90s when I bought that. I think it's always been like their house, you know? And we found the old rotary phones. And I was like, show me how you would make a call. You know when we found them and he was like, I had no idea Like whatsoever, and then he was like, so you had to do that for every single number. And I was like, yeah. And if you got the wrong number, you have to start all over again. He was like, wow, this is fascinating, fascinating to him. So it was really cool. So tell me a little bit about how you went from the Yellow Pages. You're doing all this relationship, marketing and relationship sales, because people you know, the biggest part, if you're in advertising sales is not just to sell one ad, you want the people to constantly, you know, be re re upping their subscriptions. And that's part of your compensation, with many advertising sales. It's why some advertising sales reps make really good money. They're good at keeping their people, you know, they're always checking in with them, you know, so tell us a little bit how you went from that in and where you're at now. John Vuong  5:50  Yeah, so at Yellow Pages, so I was there for five years and relationship sales was more of a I don't know Like, I was genuine, I was really like just authentic raw. So I always had a story. And where I was just letting people in on like my journey, right? Like, what I grew up doing, how I discovered like traveling like I love. I had a exchange experience, like going to school in London, England for a year. And I was amazing. For me that really opened up a lot of opportunity for me to see what's bigger and greater than just my local community of working in a small suburb of Toronto, right? That's where I grew up. So for me, it was more about like, just connecting with people and letting them in. And yes, I was able to not just renew people, but upsell, and then of course, it was all about listening to them asking the right questions and finding out what their true needs and desires were right because ultimately, a lot of people were frustrated. They were getting spending more money than ever but not getting the same sort of return. They used to get 10 1520 years ago. And when I hear that all the time, I'm like, so what is going on? Where are people shopping? How are they pivoting? Like, what is the user behavior, right? And as you know, the internet started to take off, Google started becoming more present. Email started to be the main mode of communication, no longer fax machines, no longer telephones, text messaging, like all these new innovative stuff that you hear today, like social media and content, video content, audio, all that is all new within the last 10 years, right. But before that, it was still traditional media, which was newspapers, flyers, magazines, trade shows, billboards, Radio Television, right. But today, it's now podcast, YouTube videos. There's Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, you name it, right? Like there's so many other new initiatives. that technology has allowed users to change their behavior. Being controlling in a different platform in different way, at their convenience, right? So it's just different. But there's still a lot of people consuming information. And you have to understand the users behavior to then gravitate on what is important for business owners. And that's where I shifted, because a lot of people were just frustrated spending so much money and didn't see a good return.  Jennifer Gilgroic  8:24  It's very frustrating because it's changed so quickly, you know, it was like 100 years ago, it was still well, we have this directory and local and you go to this guy, and he puts up a little sign, you know, and that's how it was for like, ever. And when I say forever generations, yes, just in our lifetime. It's been you know, going from paper to then television and now you have radio now you have internet now the internet's completely changed and you have this is like weariness to have to as soon as like every other year, there is some new hotness and what Did you know six months ago isn't the same? And I think that there's a lot of business owners, but also people who are frustrated, where do I go to get really what I need? And and oh, now I've got to learn a new app. It's just crazy. So it's amazing that you're on the on the edge of that. How do you not get tech weary? I mean, there's a lot that's in your head. Do you just dump it out as you are constantly knowing new stuff? John Vuong  9:28  Yeah, so I specialized now just on SEO because it's already fairly complex. Digital advertising comprises of email, social content creation in various forms. And then understanding like, what these different apps and software and technology can actually do for a business, right like to either scale and understand the process and efficiencies of it. So you have to really just focus on what you do best. And I continue doing that which is building relationships, meaningful ones with business owners that are I'm trying to help them grow and build a digital presence, right. And what we do is focus just on SEO, because I feel it being very similar to what Yellow Pages provided, which is the organic, natural listings on Google where the businesses are not pushing stuff at you, right? That's advertising, you know, trying to disrupt that user behavior to get someone to either click or call you at that given moment with a creative ad, right. But when you're appearing organically or naturally, someone else is seeking you out. So you're pulling people when and during control. And that's what Yellow Pages provide. So that was more directive advertising versus Creative Advertising. And that's why I feel SEO is still the dominant player for that same sort of medium that people used to spend a lot of money and yellow pages with. Unknown Speaker  10:53  Yeah, that's an interesting way of putting it because yeah, I mean, it is it is kind of like the new Yellow Pages is but You have to kind of put yourself out there and find different ways of attracting people. It's not like in one, one book. So how are you helping people to get in front of more people to get to those those folks that are that are searching for you. John Vuong  11:15  So understanding how Google works is very important. And I feel people overcomplicate things. I always tell people like run a really good business. What I mean by that is, take care of your customers, listen to them, provide an amazing product or service. Understand that value prop what unique selling proposition you're offering, like, understand foundationally what makes a really good business because over the course of many years, I've worked with thousands of business owners that operated for generations without technology. So imagine how did they survive? they relied on referrals and word of mouth, right and minimal advertising on maybe yellow pages or print media or flyers. Whatever may be right, so right, how did they survive? And what has dif different right? Like, the challenges? There's a lot going on today technology has advanced so quickly in the last five or 10 years that people are bombarded with this new app, this new software, this new social media feed, and they're looking for quick solutions, fast ways to expedite to make that hundred thousand dollars in a week because they saw an ad there, right? And they forget that well, maybe one in a million person actually receive that benefit. Everyone else is gonna lose a lot of money and get stressed and frustrated. So why not you do what everyone else used to do, which is grind it out, understand how to run a business and focus on the foundations right? So that's what I always boil things down to like SEO can really help advance a business Once they already know how to take care of the customer, and run a good business, but we cannot help someone that doesn't even know how to run a business because their reputations on the line, there's a lot of other foundational things that are missing. Jennifer Gilgroic  13:13  Yeah, well, that's kind of what we do we do the foundational things on the back end structure so that they don't take themselves before they even get started, because everybody wants to sales come in. But there's a lot of other things you have to put in place in order for that to happen. So I get that. And I'm gonna ask you a question. You know, you were all heavy Google, Google Google. But right now, you know, like, as the time we're taping this, Google and Facebook and Amazon are all in this, like, antitrust. People are willing to break them up. I mean, you know, Google is the Yellow Pages, but it is the everything. It's like the new source. It's like the thing. So do you. Do you think now like, Are you already building your plan for what if they break it up? Like what if they actually split up Google and now People have other products that they can do, you know, there's brave, there's DuckDuckGo there's all these other search engines, you know, Yahoo used to be the search engine. But But now I think Yahoo doesn't that piggyback off of Google Now. They're all like together. But do you have a plan? Like how do you think it's gonna go now that there is so much heat on these these mega monopolies? Which, you know, in my opinion, they all need to be broken up. But you know, I'm, that's just my opinion. But yeah. John Vuong  14:33  So, like every generation, always look at where people the users are going to gravitate towards. So understanding what what channel or what purpose Facebook has, right, like, Who do they target and what's the sole purpose when you go to Facebook? What's the sole person is when you go to LinkedIn or Twitter, right understanding that mode of communication and that platform and medium of choice. So think about zoom and Eventbrite and all those online platforms where you can now do presentations since the pandemic, it's really been elevated, where people are now spending more time in front of a computer pitching and doing a lot more conferences that way. So it's just understanding what's going on, right in terms of the users. And if Google is still and yes, Google's always pivoting, they're trying to find ways to monetize. They're trying to own the real estate, trying to alleviate and not get business owners who are ranking users to click on their website, they will either click on Google's properties right around the SERPs, because that's your prime real estate. They make money through ads, right and retargeted ads, I get it. So you have to understand the whole purpose of the medium. And then how do you capitalize on what's available? Right, right. And I still feel SEO is very powerful, because you can control and position yourself and optimize as that local player. On the map below, right? Because that's still free at this time, but you also have to be weary of what's going on. Right? Because same with Facebook. You know, before, once upon a time a couple years ago, you could organically get position, right? But today, every two times every time you scroll down, there's an ad that appears, right? There's always pushing stuff at you. And it's more like, you're bombarded with stuff that you don't really want to, you know, be there for right like, yeah, so you have to understand the channel and the different media's out there and understand what's going on within and I still feel Google is great, like duck, duck go. It's not like in terms of use.  Jennifer Gilgroic  16:45  Yeah, I mean.  John Vuong  16:45  1%. Jennifer Gilgroic  16:46  Put that on every single phone. You see, when you have an agreement that every single phone that comes out, it has to have your voice. Brain Price  16:54  if you own the operating system. Jennifer Gilgroic  16:57  Now it's like you can't infer some people. They do all their work. I mean, I know people who literally work off their phones now, you know, the phones are more expensive in some cases than computers, which is nuts. Right? But you do everything you're doing your banking your you have your password keepers, you've got all your things on your phone. And so, yeah, I mean, it's crazy to have it so embedded like Facebook, I mean, there's entire things you cannot do unless you have a Facebook account where you can log in, that are totally unrelated to Facebook. Right? So it's just interesting because there's so much interconnectivity, it can be confusing for people. Yeah, very much so to compete, you know, but that's good. I really love the fact that you still believe in your in this every single day that you can still use it for local people, because that means that local businesses still have a chance to get the people around them for free. And they have ways that they can utilize this technology. So that actually warms my Heart, a whole bunch for that. John Vuong  18:03  Understanding the space, right? Like it's always evolving, but looking for opportunities to capitalize because people get frustrated, spending too much money not getting good returns. So I want to help the little guys. Unknown Speaker  18:15  Yeah. So are there certain things that you always do know? You know, I know things change for hours, there's kind of some basis that you actually do and maybe some of the new stuff that you're looking into as well. John Vuong  18:26  Yeah. So for us, we always look at foundational stuff like understand your client, creating a content journey mapping, and really positioning yourself as the expert, right. So understanding who your ideal persona client is, and writing every piece of content, your website piece is directly driven to those type of people, right, from everything you produce. From video, podcasts, audio, you know, images or written depending on where they're at in terms of the journey, create that content piece for them, and then making sure that You're up to date in terms of like, what's going on what the users want, like they want fast, secure, easy to use navigation. Like, all these things are now behavior. If you don't have it, someone else is gonna, you're probably losing out right on an alternative because they're bouncing off your page to someone else. Right? So just staying current and what's going on, right? Because technology's moving so fast. And as much as you want to stay on top of it. It's kind of scary too, because there's so much going on, right? Like AI. What's going on there? Like they know too much about you already. Right? Is that Jennifer Gilgroic  19:40  right? Yes. I'm like terrified like I can have a conversation with a friend of mine. And then immediately I'll go on, you know, to look at something and ads for that pickup. And I'm like, How did my phone know I was, you know, talking to somebody you know that. Maybe it's time to get hair extensions. My entire timeline is nothing but a hair extension company. Whatever but yeah, yeah, it's weird man. I don't like it. I'm like stay in as much as I say that. I still have an Alexa. So if I  Brain Price  20:12  Don't say it.  Jennifer Gilgroic  20:16  Oh, yeah, people used to be what was that joke? They used to say, you know, don't say that over the telephone because you never know if the CIA is listening, and then it says 2020 CIA, how do I bake a pie? Like that coming back to? That's cool. Well, so Okay, so what else can you tell people? Right now if they have their own, like website and stuff like that? Is there anything anyone can do besides writing things in the in the tone of the voice for your target client? Like taking it down from I just want to tell everybody in the whole wide world to really knowing who your ideal client is, it's very important. Is there anything else that you can give us on on top of that? John Vuong  20:58  Yeah, so I focused On a lot of service based small, medium sized business owners, like the local dentist or plumber or lawyer or whatnot, Google My Business is a great opportunity. If you haven't verified it, optimize it, make sure you're in the right category, put in all the services that you offer, update it once a week, get good reviews onto the Google My Business Page, because people are checking you out before they call you. And they know so much before they even reach out to you. That's scary, right? They know, they checked out you on LinkedIn, they check out your reviews, case studies, Chapter all your blogs to see if you're credible, right. So as much as you want to put out information, make sure it's consistent along the lines, don't, you know, say one thing and do something else the other channel right? So it's more important than ever to make sure all your assets and all the properties that you own online is consistent has the same tone of voice and has the same good, you know? Good feel authentic feel rawness, right, because end of the day people are gonna check you all. And if Jennifer Gilgroic  22:11  I actually have a really good local thing, so I had a marketing company and I used to help people do this and there was an assisted living facility here in our town, and they did not go out and grab what you say their their property. So when he says that if for anyone who doesn't know what that means, it means like, go to your Yelp and claim your business claim your business on Google, there's actually a little thing when you you put it up, is this your business? You want to claim it because somebody else can claim it. So they had a Facebook page that actually wasn't theirs. It was a it was a well meaning former staff, and so nothing had been updated on it. And there were some like comments that weren't that great, but their Google business showed had a set of pictures, the first pictures that came up That had someone had made a cut is disgusting, but they had messed their bed. That's all I'm gonna say that it was very graphic. And that is the picture that came up for now this is one of the cleanest, nicest facilities. And that picture wasn't even of their facility. Because the flooring was they didn't have that flooring anywhere in any of their rooms. But that was the picture that pulled up. And it was actually a process to pull that listing away, and a verification from the person who had claimed it, who was a competitor of a very small unit to do it. So people wouldn't go to this very large one. I mean, they had hundreds of rooms, a skilled nursing or whatever. And they're like, how can businesses just dropped and we're not getting calls. We're not getting this? Well, as soon as I help them clean that up a little bit just because I knew enough to do that. I'm not an expert like john, who could have probably really maximized that all of a sudden, the phones started ringing. They started getting more residents again, because that false information wasn't out there. So you do want to do that not just for SEO, but also to protect the name and good reputation of your business. So add that to that. Yeah. So I didn't mean to hijack you there. I just had an actual thing I knew about what you were saying worked. Well, we've been talking to john Vong. Am I saying that correctly? I should, yes. Okay. Great. And he's with local SEO search.ca because he's Canadian. Right. So local SEO search.ca. And we're getting to almost getting close to the end. So Brain, did you have any? Some questions? Still? Yeah. Unknown Speaker  24:46  Well, I think that I noticed on your site, you have a free site audit. So why don't you tell us about how what that includes and how people can get and you know, get theirs, their site audited and how you can help? John Vuong  24:58  Yeah, so what we've been trying to do is give and help as many small medium sized businesses as possible. So usually with that someone inputs her website, usually it's a real business that's been in business for a while that is frustrated and need some more of a digital presence, right? Because we need to benchmark you, we need to figure out how we can help. And so we we kind of do a console, a phone conversation first, to see where you're at what you've done, and kind of analyze how we can help. Right? Yeah, because not only do we bring an SEO background and console, we actually go in a little bit deeper because of our business experience. Myself, yes, I have 10 plus years in sales and marketing working with thousands of businesses, but my VP of sales have worked with over you know, a couple thousand clients as well, but he was at Yellow Pages for 35 years. So his experience his insights in how to run a good Business is invaluable for a lot of business owners that are just starting, right. So we try to just help as much as possible. And that's what differentiates us from a lot of other competitors. Brain Price  26:11  Cool. Jennifer Gilgroic  26:12  Yeah, experience like that is really invaluable, especially when they've you've guys have seen it all. And really the best advertising is a good business. You know, you do what you say you're going to do, and you make people happy. And they tell their friends and I know there's the old adage, well, if they're unhappy, they'll tell everybody if they're happy, they're not gonna say word, but that's just being bitter. That's actually not true. People do talk about good experiences, and they do recommend, and even on Facebook, you have local here in Galveston, we have this Galveston is called Galveston gossip or something like that. There's like 60,000 people on it, and people gossip and they talk and they take pictures of things. And they even give shout outs but they also ask questions. Hey, guys, who do you know who can fix this? Or Who's your landscaper? My guys, not doing it anymore. I see that a lot. And people refer to that all the time. And that's just my little town. So you know, there's there's just running a good business and being good people will talk, they will talk and send you stuff. It's which is this. John Vuong  27:15  These are great forums and groups because once you are known and reputable, it's all about like cultivating more opportunity, right? So just do good end of the day, eventually things will come to you and be honest about it. Right? Like don't don't try to you know, do a fast one on people right? Or, you know me like they're so Jennifer Gilgroic  27:38  Basic but yeah. You're right. Don't pull a fast one on me but there's so much click and bead and there's so many people on social just trying to make it or hustle or whatever it is. Yeah, but are they real business owners like really? If you look at any athlete, pro athlete or any successful singer, they don't tell you what they've been doing for the last 20 years. yours. You see them at the pinnacle. So it's the same bit entrepreneurship like, no one sees me doing what I did for the last 20 years. They only see me at now. Right? But how many years of you know the grit and wrongness of hustling and door knocking cold calling and all those other things? sleepless nights and not paying for food? Like all these things, no one sees that, right?  Brain Price  28:26  Yeah, absolutely. Jennifer Gilgroic  28:29  Okay, so, as Connect, I'm going to set one more question before Tammy has to take us away but as Canadian who had to live in England, I want you to tell me what English food does there any English food that you particularly liked? Because, you know, back in the day, England was not known for its food. So I'm curious as what a Vietnamese Canadian living in England like for his food. I know that's off topic, but I just have to ask you. John Vuong  28:55  Know, I still love the chips there, which is fine. Yeah, but they were really greasy. They were like dripped in, you know, after you go to the local pub and uh huh. No, no. I mean, it was great. But because I was drunk, maybe but Jennifer Gilgroic  29:14  Man, you can't you can't beat it. Well, that's awesome. Well guys we've been talking to john von john is with local SEO search.ca.

Chris shares with us  his note investing knowledge of investing in first position performing and non-performing notes. He has been able to build his note investing portfolio to over $5M and his overall real estate portfolio to over $7M. Chris cautions us to make sure the paperwork is in order and properly transferred when the property was bought and sold before investing in the note. Also make sure you are buying occupied properties over vacant properties. If you have people in the house, you become the lender and not the owner to have to sell the vacant house.  Chris also explains the benefits of note buys; one perk is you don’t have to worry about tenants, since you are the mortgage company, you won’t be called on for maintenance issues and other property rental difficulties.  On the other hand, some pitfalls are that you don’t get to walk through a house before buying the note, and Chris tells us a few instances of the bizarre properties he’s invested. In parting, Chris tells us to network and get to know people in the note investing business and be patient, it is a long term game.  The first 2 years expect to reinvest in your note investing business, then it becomes good cash flow.  To find Chris Seveney, visit: Chris’s Website: 7einvestments.comChris’s Facebook group:  https://www.facebook.com/groups/101028197428726/Good Deeds Note Investing Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/good-deeds-note-investing-podcast/id1442697566 Episode Notes: Speaker 1  0:00  Welcome to the Leafy Podcast, helping real estate investors and entrepreneurs grow.

They're working as a director in a real estate development firm. But then they've also been building this really incredible, credible note business on the side. So I want us to give a great big round of applause to Chris Seveney. And Chris, welcome to the show. And it was seven, like the number seveneinvestments.com. Chris Seveney. Welcome to the show, Chris. Speaker 4  1:41  Thank you. Thank you for having me on. I'm excited to be on today and share a little bit of our story and let people know what we do.  Speaker 5  1:50  Awesome. Great. Yeah. Welcome, Chris. So yeah, why don't we get straight into it? It's like with note investing, you know, what is it and how did you get started? Speaker 4  1:58  Yeah, so most people don't even know this exists. That's the unique thing. And it's I was in real estate for close to 20 years, and I didn't know it existed. And in a nutshell, what it is, is you're buying loans from the bank. So many of us own a home. And many of us have mortgages on a home. And essentially, your mortgage gets sold off. And a lot of banks don't hold them, they sell them to government entities. But a lot of times, especially from a decade ago, these loans when people stopped paying, the government sold them off to hedge funds and eventually make their way down to main stream investors like myself, so we're not actually buying the property. We're buying the loans or we're like a lender is really how it works in a nutshell. Speaker 3  2:44  Do you have to get certified to do note investing or what do you have to do to be able to be a note investor? Speaker 4  2:49  So in certain states, you do need licensing. But what's interesting is, most of these states and government entities never envisioned that oans will get sold off like they do. So banks play by a completely different set of rules than us have investors do. Because also, it's our money and our debt. It's not like institutional money or government money, where you have to play by a lot of rules. So it's kind of like you lending you know, your cousin, 50 bucks. There's certain rules you got to follow. But, you know, we still have to follow a lot of the laws with like Dodd Frank, which came out a decade ago, but for most part, you know, certain states you need licensing other states. You don't it's really a state by state thing. Speaker 3  3:35  Well, but you said the people aren't paying on the note. So how are you going to make money if no one's paying on the note, like explain that for the people who are like what? Speaker 4  3:44  Yeah, that's kind of the first question is what is note investing the second person after they hear that is, why would you buy something somebody isn't paying on? And a great example would be, say there's a property worth, you know, $100,000 They owe $100,000 on the property as well, and it fluctuates. Sometimes they're underwater, meaning they owe more. And sometimes they may have some equity. Typically, you're buying it at a discount. So I'm buying, I may buy that loan anywhere from maybe 40 to $60,000. So you're paying, you know, 50% discount, and that person may be a year behind. And we've got a lot more flexibility. You know, if that person wants to stay in that property, it's always best to try and keep them in the property and work it out and be like, okay, you know, you've your $10,000 past, do you know what's modified alone, get you paying again, and then get that payment stream to get them back on track. And then once they're back on track, you know, you can turn around and maybe sell that to another investor at 70 cents on the dollar, for example, or 80 cents on the dollar. So, you know, it's really because you're buying it at a discount is where you can make that money. Unfortunately times you may have to foreclose on the asset. In those instances, you got to make sure that your acquisition plus all your legal expenses are less than what you can sell it for. So if it does sell, and you have to take the property and be a property owner, you're selling it for more than you happen to it. Speaker 5  5:19  Okay, so what if the note closes? Or the note defaults, then you actually own the asset? Speaker 4  5:25  If you take it through the legal process? Yes.  Speaker 5  5:29  Okay.  Speaker 4  5:29  Yeah. It's not something that we don't like to do. And I would say on typically it's under 10%, I'd say would be the amount of times we have to take it through fruition legal. Sometimes people may need a nudge by having the attorney send them a letter and then usually that brings them to the table. Speaker 5  5:49  Got it. And then when it comes to you'll finding these these notes and such you know, how do you know what what would be a good thing to look at versus something that is is likely not gonna, you know, is gonna foreclose you're gonna be underwater with? Speaker 4  6:04  Yeah, so it's very so first question is, you know where are you kind of find these things and it's about relationships with kind of hedge funds and people who sell these, there's it's not a, you know, it's not a big crowd, it's kind of like you know your high school click of people who are involved in the industry and everybody knows everybody. And you know, some people may bounce from one company to the other from some of the larger firms. But then knowing what to look at, there's really, you know, two, two paths you go down. One is, so I'll mention I invest in first mortgages because people can have lines of credit and so forth, which that's a whole we could spend hours talking about that but so, you know, with the first mortgage, you know, the first thing you're concerned about is the property its value and its condition because you don't want to pay for a note, that's, you know, paying more than what the property is worth because you're going to get yourself in trouble. So that's one is getting that understanding. But the challenge with it is the risk is, you know, if you can only drive by the property, you know, I can't go knock on your door and say, hey, let me in. I'm your lender, I want to see where you inside your house looks like, you know, you'll be like, get the hell out of here. And especially, you know, if somebody's not paying the mortgage, typically their house is not going to have you know, brand new flooring, kitchen appliances and going to look like Cinderella's castle. So you got to kind of weigh that aspect of it and kind of go from there. And the other is the loan itself and making sure that the paperwork is in order. Meaning that if it's been sold, I know many people have heard about the robo signers from like a decade ago. And so you need to make sure that it was properly transferred throughout selling because what happened decades ago, people are just signing for other people and stuff and it's fraud and you got to make sure kind of the path that it's been sold has been, it's like when you buy a house, you know, for title insurance, they would go back and check the history to make sure everything's okay. It's kind of that's what you're doing is I'm running a title search on the property to make sure everything was done properly. Speaker 3  8:15  So how did somebody with a civil engineering degree end up doing this? Which seems so heavy finance and mortgages and stuff like that? If you can do it, that means like, other people can do it, too. So what was the how did you stumble into this from what you were doing with your with your degree? And it's like you how did you even figure this one out? Speaker 4  8:36  Yeah, so my steps were, I went from civil engineer to working for a general contractor overseeing construction projects, to getting burnt out to working for a real estate development firm, who people are much more entrepreneurial and a lot of them have rentals and other properties. My wife and I, we built our primary residence. In perfect timing. We had a lot have equity in it because we act as a con the general contractor, then we went and bought two rentals that needed to be rehabbed. And after rehabbing two rentals, she looked at me and we looked at each other and said, Okay, that's enough. Speaker 3  9:14  Work. Yeah, Speaker 4  9:15  yeah. So we were spending, I mean, the weekends away from the kids, you know, and so forth, trying to make sure they're getting done and honestly, personally wasn't worth it. So she was like, okay, that's enough. So I'm like, okay, I gotta figure out something I can do. In my wife's in finance, and at the time, I started going back to school and getting a master's in real estate finance. And I stumbled upon this on a website called BiggerPockets. And basically somebody who's like, well, you can do this at night, you don't have to go visit the properties. You know, in Washington, DC, if you want to buy a property, it hits the market, like you have to be at that showing like in an hour or it's gone and working full time with kids. We'd never get to a property in time. With this type of investing. I can you know, I get list and then they give you like a week to put in indicative bids which are really just, you know throwing it at the dartboard. If everything pans out what you'd pay, then you'd spend the time to send somebody to look at it like a realtor. you order a title report, so I never I visited, you know, have probably 300 notes, iPhone Plus or minus, I think I visited one asset, actually, is what I personally driven by out of 300. Wow. You know, and most of them are in the Midwest. So, you know, I don't know, traveled to the Midwest, for the most part. So, you know, there's one in Maryland that had gone by, so out of give you an idea, it can be done anywhere, anytime, and I literally my wife goes to bed at 930 10 I'll be up from 10 o'clock to 1130 kind of doing my thing are in first thing in the morning. So that's how I juggle everything. Yeah, that's cool. Yeah. Speaker 5  10:58  It's interesting because yeah, it It allows you to kind of expand a lot easier without having to be just, you Speaker 4  11:05  No, it does and you're not, you know, when you're the lender to, you know, somebody toilet breaks, they're not calling the property manager or calling you, you know, if you're you own your house, your toilet breaks, you don't call your mortgage company, you know, you call someone else to fix it. So it's kind of from that sense, you know, you want to make sure property is in good condition, but you don't have to deal with, you know, as we say, in the business, tenants, toilets, termites, as landlords do, Speaker 5  11:29  Right, absolutely. And then, you know, how, what are some of the pitfalls and looking at, you know, notes and even, you know, people that provide these notes and such, you know, obviously, they're keeping the best ones for themselves. So how do you find the kind of the diamond in the rough that you're looking for? Speaker 4  11:47  Yeah, so typically, though, you know, they're usually lower valued assets. And the reason why is when you think about managing these $500,000 more Judge takes the same amount of work as a $50,000 mortgage. But you know, your risk is much higher on a $500,000 mortgage. So these firms that own them, typically will keep the half million and all the 50,000 and stuff, they toss it aside because it's too much work for them, you know, because they have, you know, payroll, you know, their entities, their full fledged funds, where people like myself, you know, kind of, you know, you know, single, you know, it's it's me myself and I, you know, I can you know, profit off of those were for them, they have too much overhead. So, that's one aspect of how I can get these. The pitfalls. are, you know, the risks involved, you know, I had a property that from the outside actually looked really really nice. We thought it was occupied the guy you know, the car parked in the driveway. Lo and behold, the guy actually was living next door renting because he had a plumbing leak or a plumbing drain in the basement clogged instead Calling roto rooter for 150 bucks come fix it. You at five feet of water accumulate in his basement. Speaker 3  13:06  Oh, it's not just regular water, it's sewage water in the basement. Speaker 4  13:11  Yeah. So this house which would have was, you know, worth we would have was probably worth about 100,000 in its previous condition ended up being worth about 30 grand. Wow. Because of it. I mean, it had so much mold in this place. I mean, the ceiling fan was like, covered in mold. I mean, that he left I mean the TV in there was still it was an old tube TV was covered in mold. I mean, it was like the guy literally just was like eh, screw it and then move next door Speaker 3  13:44  And just let it rot. You'd have to, I mean, you can't fix that. You just have to let bulldoze it right. Speaker 4  13:49  Actually a contractor that I was so glad somebody finally was able to get the water out of the basement once we figured it out, which that's a whole nother story. That took forever. Actually, a guy ended up buying it. And he ended up because he worked in like, mold-hygienists type work. So he was able to do it himself. But otherwise most people would have had to bulldoze the property. Yeah. Oh, yeah. The stories like you hear and, you know, there's always multiple sides of the stories where people I'd say, treat borrowers incorrectly. And on the same token, it's like anything, there's borrowers who play the system, and do things. I mean, some of these properties. I mean, I had one where a person had nine dogs living in a house all by itself. And it just, I mean, they weren't cleaning up after. I mean, it was I mean, Speaker 3  14:45  And they lived in the house with them. Speaker 4  14:46   What's that?  Speaker 3  14:47  No, they just let the dogs live there. Speaker 4  14:49  It was the dogs lived there. Yeah. Speaker 3  14:52  Well, that's dog abuse. That's horrible. And then you can't see the property. Okay, so guess that's scary. So if anybody wanted to know that's a little bit scary. How can people not get that?  Speaker 4  15:03  Well, and here's the other thing too like today in today's world, you'll have cases like that and you can't do anything because I'll evicting anybody in all these states and it's carte blanche it's you know, it's you know, stuff like that so you know, what are you Speaker 3  15:21  okay so why should someone get into notes if that's really scary that makes me go oh, I handle that you know, whatever. But really if you wanted to get into notes those are few and far between you know, you get those Yeah. But what do you need to do to get started for from what you're saying I'm listening to it and I'm like, wow, there's a bit of a learning curve with this. Right so so what do you think needs to happen for that? Like how long did it take you to get the education you needed just for free? You went on BiggerPockets, you know, we love BP here. And then you what, what did you have to do to really get your first deal and figure that one out. Speaker 4  16:02  Yeah, it took me about six months. And that is probably a little accelerated compared to some other people. Because I have the real estate background and had some finance background. People sometimes will rush it and be like, Oh, I'm just gonna buy it to learn. And usually, it's, you know, they pay that price, that heavy price. You know, the biggest aspect is first understanding the lingo. Like most people don't know the difference between a mortgage and a note, you know, it's like, oh, I have a mortgage on my house. Well, you actually have a mortgage and the note, which the note is basically the loan, it's like, Hey, I'm giving you 50 bucks here, sign this piece of paper. The mortgage is actually the ball and chain that ties to the house. So if they stopped paying the loan, the mortgage is that document that says, hey, your collateral is a house, that's what I can can take from you. So most people, you know, that's the first part is understanding But that component, and then when people sell these, there's a path that happens that you kind of just need to understand the process and the players involved. That's the first step that takes probably a month or two. And then the next is really understanding the costs that are involved because it's not a one size fits all where, you know, we place a roof for the most part costs, you know, certain markets a little higher than others. But, you know, here in different states that foreclosures are very different. There's judicial, which is you go in front of a judge, then there's non judicial, which is, Hey, you know, basically it's you file a paperwork and then it's sold off in a month or two, judicial can take 18 months and cost anywhere from five to 10,000. Non judicial might cost you 2500. So, you know, if you miscalculate your costs and all the costs involved, it can be an expensive learning curve. Well, so I tell people, typically, you'll want to start, you know, taking, you know, six to 12 months. And it's challenging too, because it's like rehabbing a house, there's not a book you can go read that tells you how to rehab a house, you can understand kind of the basics of how a house works. But until you dive in, is really where you're gonna really get the most experience. So that's why we recommend a lot of people kind of team with somebody more experienced early on, to kind of use their knowledge and learn and get some mentoring from them. Speaker 3  18:31  Do you do that? Do you? Do you mentor with someone? Or do you mentor people with 70 investments now? Speaker 4  18:37  We're actually going to be rolling that out. So we have teamed with a lot of people in the past and what I've done is a lot of people that wanted to learn kind of I brought them on and you know, showed them the ropes, but it was never formal. So one of the things actually I'm in the process of doing some rebranding with the website and other things is offering kind of a management flash mentoring program for investors. Speaker 3  19:03  Yeah, because I think that they would need to, you know, and I'm in this space and I do, you know, we here legally what we do complicated things with asset protection and using the power of anonymity and legal structures and how to set up businesses and taxes, right. But even I'm listening to this going, you know, what, okay. Because how do you get the list? You know, how do you know how to vet the list? Where are you getting this list from? How do you know if a property is going to have a judicial or non judicial foreclosure? You know, those are that's a lot of stuff you have to learn. Speaker 4  19:37  Yeah, and there's a lot of players involved because you know, first and foremost, you know, your that your two number one A's and one B's are your attorney. Absolutely. So you'll want an attorney in each state that you deal with so you can pick their brain and get an understanding and, you know, hopefully you can find an attorney that is a little more flexible. And not one that builds you buy that every 10 minutes, because it gets to be a very expensive learning curve. If you know that's your $450 attorney bills on a 10 minute basis versus one that when the drive in the car may be a little more flexible with you. And the other is they come servicing companies. So those are the companies that actually collect all the payments. So I never have anybody ever send me a payment. It's all done to a third party because, you know, you got calculate late fees and deferred interest and all this other stuff that they use sophisticated software for. That's not something you want to do, because if you screw it up and you get sued, then you're going to pay a very, very heavy penalty. And also it's something again, you need to be licensed that and trained professional that does that. And it's a lot of work and it's not something somebody should be taking on Iran. Speaker 3  20:55  So someone is interested in this, but they want to avoid some fall. So we know you have to get edge educating first. But what are some of the other biggest mistakes you've seen people people make that they probably need to avoid? Speaker 4  21:11  Yeah, one is buying a note on a vacant property. You know, I had somebody call me other day, hey, I want to buy this in their last time they paid was 2010 in the property's vacant, I'm like, what do you think a property has been sitting around vacant for 10 years looks like you know, and from, you know, from that perspective, you know, I don't care what they tell you, it looks like the place is probably gonna, you know, you might as well take a bulldozer or, you know, you're gonna own that property. And most of us who are in this business have no interest in owning the property because that's why we got out of being a tenant, you know, or landlord, I'm sorry, is we'd rather just be the lender. So that's one is you know, making sure you know, you a put eyes on the property when you go to buy it. That's absolutely you know, something you want to do. If it's vacant, typically now I just walk away from the vacant properties because you just end up owning them. And it's so much headache trying to find a realtor that deals with these types of properties because there's no money in it for them, you know, when they're making 3% on, you know, a vacant property that's probably going to sell for 30 40 grand. I mean, it's not worth 1,000 bucks to them. And no, they'd rather go, especially in today's markets, and I mean, real estate still selling right now. They'd rather go sell $150,000 houses that are updated, and they can put on their website. They don't want some boarded up rundown property that's, you know, been sitting there for 10 years. Speaker 3  22:37  Oh, yeah. Not with new mortgages or having mortgage rates that are rock bottom. I mean, even now, we were talking about refinancing and I was talking to a mortgage professional, and they said, I won't even feel comfortable as a professional even offer that product. Because in I said, So what you're saying is it actually be easier for some people to get a new house rather than refinance faster. And she said, yeah, you'd actually make more more money doing that was like that is interesting as well is it's crazy times we live in and it'll change again. But that's what we're dealing with right now. So yeah. Speaker 4  23:09  No, it is it is crazy that because we fortunately have a credit union that let us refi because most of the places won't refi like, oh, you go buy new we'll finance that all day long, but we don't want to deal with a reprice. And I think Wells Fargo just came out and mentioned something that if you have a jumbo loan, you have to have a million dollar net worth to refi. Speaker 3  23:31  Yeah, yeah. It's like it's like it's like crazy. Crazy. Crazy. Crazy. So what's your what's your advice for someone who wants to enter this in start this? Speaker 4  23:42  Yeah. So three things. Typically I tell people is network, network, network. You know, that's three right there. Because there's like I said, there's not a lot of people in the business and you want to just get started to get to know people talk to people. It is a business that the term that gets tossed around a lot called Co Op petition. And because most of us are smaller investors that you know, people might buy 10, 20, you know, hundred a year in a $30 trillion industry and you know, millions millions alones it's not really difficult to have inventory for people to buy. So typically it's never me verse you on an asset, you know, if I go after an asset, someone else's and they get it, okay, great, they got it. I'll go on to the next one. So we use the term coopertition because most people like to help each other in the business because we're all basically people working nine to five are just getting going in this and I'll try to make a better life for each other and for our families or whatever it may be. So there's never any negative connotations kind of like some fix and flippers are always like, you know, after each other competing for properties. Speaker 3  24:52  Oh, yeah, you watch HGTV and they even have a competition between flippers and they are just vicious vicious bees. [Inaudible]. Speaker 4  25:01  So it's so it's little opposite in this business where people are there to help. And, you know, I recommend network and find somebody that you can talk to and just don't talk to one person talk to several people just to learn their styles. Because I mean, you know, be good at one thing, and somebody else might be very good at something else. So you can kind of take bits and pieces from people to learn and be patient. You know, it's not a business. No matter what these training gurus tell you, in every real estate venture, you want to do it, whether you're wholesaling, you're gonna make a million dollars, your first month you're flipping you're gonna make a million dollars, your first month or notes, you're not going to make a million your first month is a long term game. You know, I've been in it for years, the first two years, I really didn't make any money because I was just taking it and reinvesting it in myself and in the business. But now I've gotten to a point where, you know, we've got some nice cash flow for the next you know, 10, 20 years coming in the door that from loans that people are paying on so that's kind of, you know, the advice like typical real estate, you know, take it slow walk before you can run.  Speaker 3  26:04  Yeah. Speaker 5  26:04  So it sounds like this, this kind of a investment is something that, you know, someone can do on a part time basis, even, they're just getting started that can actually scale because I know a lot of times, you know, especially coming like a flipper or something like that it becomes like a full time job pretty much from day one. So is that a fair assessment? Speaker 4  26:22  It is. And, you know, the other component to it as well is you don't need to have hundreds of thousands of dollars to get into this. You know, you can buy notes for you know, 10-20,000 you know, I recommend people about 20 grand to start getting in which, you know, in most locations, cross country that doesn't get you far, you know, or you need to go get alone, you know, to buy the property. We're here, you know, you might have, you know, a $50,000 property that maybe they owe 30,000 on it, and you can pick up that loan for maybe 13 or 15,000. And then you want to keep money of course, for legal earning, you know, some expenses usually around five to 7000 per loan. So, you know, it's something that there can be a lower barrier to entry and one place you'll see a lot of investors that come into this space are those who use their own self directed IRAs because they will invest in the notes because they can be passive and get the cash flow stream also they're not buying a property they're buying you a note where they can get in for a lower like said lower cost of entry. Speaker 3  27:30  Yeah, we have really good products that we use that are that are ours for SDRs and solo 401k is one that is very popular for our note investors and it's a smart tax strategy as well for that and so in addition to working all the time and then having a business at night that you do in the middle of night and all this you also have a podcast to the good deeds note investing pot podcast, correct, correct? Yes. Okay. Okay. So you have that okay. So if for people who are just coming in and the tail and you can of course listen to this on recordings. We have been talking to Chris Seveney. And that's S E V E N E Y. How to find him though is very easy. It is going to be seven the number seven, E like seven E, like his last name investments .com. Anyway, this is we're getting about the end of the show. Brian, did you have anything else you wanted to ask Chris? Speaker 5  28:23  About if if we were to start and you know, certain you you mentioned a number of times certain states have different laws and stuff. Are there certain states that you avoid or certain states that you try to go for when you're looking at these? notes?  Speaker 3  28:37  Good question. Yes, yes. And yes. Speaker 4  28:41  Typically, the Northeast New York, New Jersey you know, those states are very difficult because a few things one is their taxes are insanely high. And what you got to remember if you're going to take a property back and make a profit We have to foreclose on it. You know, when you get it back, you know, you're gonna have to keep paying those taxes during that time. So that's one but also the legal process in those states can take years. In Georgia, for example, I had a loan where we filed for foreclosure on November 30. And the foreclosure sale was February 1, they do it on like the first Tuesday of the following two following months or something like that. It is like you blink and it's over. You know, it's like, you know, LASIK if you ever had LASIK surgery, which I had a few months ago, you know, but, you know, the those states can, they're just very, you know, difficult. They're very borrower friendly. So, typically the states I like to tell people to start in are kind of in towards the southeast, Tennessee, Missouri, Mississippi. Those are non judicial, so you know, the foreclosure can be faster, plus property prices are, you know, they're not astronomical, in most in most of those areas, you know, three bedroom, two bath house could be anywhere from, you know, 50 to 250,000. You know, if you want to get that in while I'm Northern Virginia, you know, you're at 800,000. Or if you're in New York, probably 2 million, who knows? I'm not sure. And upstate New York. So those are kind of where I shift people to start because it's little, you know, less risk involved with the legal process. Plus, you can get in better value on properties.  Speaker 5  30:34  Okay. Speaker 3  30:36  Well, Chris, I want to thank you for answering all of our questions and for just bringing your expertise here.

Brian Price and Jennifer Gligoric are the founders and CEO/COO of Leafy Legal Services and hosts on Leafy Podcast.  This dynamic duo has been helping entrepreneurs and real estate investors get started for the last 20+ years individually, and together for the past 8 years. Both Brian and Jennifer have harrowing backstories.  Brian 'lost his shirt' in the 2008 recession, losing everything and filing bankruptcy before climbing back out and into success.  Jennifer found herself homeless as a teenager and managed to put herself through college and become a successful business owner despite the odds against her.  They both attribute their success to a mindset of abundance and paying it forward as the means to happiness.

No business owner has ever made it to the top without having to overcome hurdles along the way. That’s a lesson that Jennifer and Brian know all too well after having faced their own hardships before starting their own legal services firm. In today’s podcast, we’re covering the ideas that many people harbor in their minds that keep them from taking the next step in their career. Brian and Jennifer break down the various motivators in our lives, and how a simple shift in mindset could change millions of lives. Today’s a unique podcast because we have two special guests, the founders of Leafy Legal Services and hosts of The Leafy Podcast, Jennifer Gligoric and Brian Price. This duo has dedicated their careers for the last 20 years to helping business owners, including real estate investors. Their latest endeavor was built with a passion for protecting those business owners and their assets from the cutthroat industries that they operate in. Between Jennifer and Brian, we’ve got a lot to discuss, and there are many pearls of wisdom to take from each of them. Their goal is to inspire people who want to start a business to start now and for those who’ve done it and are struggling to use these trials to their advantage. Some of the highlights you won’t want to miss include: A poverty mindset vs. an opportunity mindset. Internal vs. External motivation and confidence. Staying positive, even through tragedy. Separating yourself from your business using an LLC. The best lawsuit is one that never happened. If you have something to give to the world, do it now.   “True confidence is actually an internal thing. You shouldn't really need anybody else’s approval...That’s very fleeting. Until you have your own internal confidence, you’re never going to be truly grateful...no matter how much you accumulate.” —Brian Price   “Your biggest mistakes are sometimes your biggest launchpads.” —Jennifer Gligoric   Podcast Summary: 2:25 - Brian discusses the tipping point in his real estate career: losing everything during the 2008 crash. 4:20 - Expectations vs. reality: what really happens when I “lose everything”? 6:04 - Jennifer’s inspirational story. From moldy bread to living fearlessly.  10:17 - Reaching for satisfaction instead of money. *Hint* the answer is gratitude. 11:38 - Do I generate confidence internally or externally? 14:48 - If you’ve ever wondered why some people just radiate positivity, here’s why. 16:40 - Asset protection: Brian covers the how and the why. 19:42 - Jennifer explains how Leafy Legal protects business owners from threats to their assets and operations. 23:55 - How “arms length” clauses can be applied to real estate. 26:43 - Brian’s first income hack: springboarding his career with affiliate marketing. 27:50 - Jennifer’s first income hack: investing her time into becoming a certified coach, plus writing a book. 30:26 - Jennifer and Brian talk about their biggest successes. 33:13 - Biggest piece of advice for income hackers: no contribution is too small toward your future goals. 34:47 - Even the most successful people started out where you are.  36:38 - “Overnight success” is really years of work behind the scenes. 38:24 - How can we share our financial knowledge with our posterity? 41:24 - Wrapping up questions with Brian and Jennifer.

Most business owners are afraid of being sued, but in the real estate industry it’s unfortunately far more common. What can we do to safeguard ourselves from the inevitable? Is there anything we can do to protect our assets in advance? On this episode, founders of Leafy Legal Services, Brian Price and Jennifer Gligoric share how to protect our businesses from legal action.    Three Things We Learned Being sued is inevitable - get used to itWhen most people hear they could be sued, the initial reaction is panic - but it pays to remain calm and in control. Anyone working in real estate needs to know that being sued is part of the business. The best thing we can do is have a strong legal team on hand when it happens.   Establish an operating companySet up an operating company and think of it as your ‘face to the world’. Operating LLCs should be used to hire contractors, pay property managers and collect rent. They can also be used to get financing. However, this operating LLC should be our parent company - not the place we keep our assets.   Set up a series LLCFrom our ‘parent’ company, we can set up ‘child’ LLCs. Each of these child LLCs are in an anonymous land trust, meaning they’re not available to the public. This is a great way to dissuade people from suing, because they don’t have visibility to the assets involved.      Guest Bio-  Brian Price and Jennifer Gligoric are the founders and CEO/COO of Leafy Legal Services and hosts on Leafy Podcast.

Asset Protection for Real Estate Investors & Entrepreneurs. Brian Price is the CEO & Co-Founder and Jennifer Gligoric is the COO & Co-Founder of Leafy Legal Services. Even the most experienced real estate investors put off protecting their assets because it's not as fun or sexy as booking that big family vacation. There is no reason for you to go it alone or get loaded up on legal structures that are so overly stacked they are cumbersome, complicated and have holes in the protection.  Leafy Legal Services helps you bridge the gap between where you are and where you want to be when it comes to protecting yourself. 

Asset protection is a notoriously murky field because people don't necessarily get the knowledge needed to do it properly, in a way that truly protects them. Estate planning is one of these lesser-known solutions that grant you high levels of security for your assets, especially if you've been able to acquire multiple throughout the years. Brian Price and Jennifer Gligoric of Leafy Legal Services come on to run the gamut of estate planning as a form of asset protection with host, Scott Carson. Despite not everyone seeing estate planning as a form of asset protection, Brian and Jennifer prove otherwise, backing up their knowledge with years of stories. You never know what's going to happen to you, so you may as well make sure your assets—and family—are set and secure. Love the show?

Boredom is a foreign concept to anyone in the live news industry. The nature of the industry means everyone, behind and in front of the camera, must be ready to change direction at any moment — right up to the 10-second count.

His previous experience includes several years as a producer at both CNBC and Bloomberg. Honestly though, he’s been on set since he was 10 years old, helping his filmmaker parents create documentaries on Rikers Island, dolphins in Australia, and police work. On this episode of On the DLPR, Brian shares what it’s like both on and off the camera when breaking news strikes.

Audio art piece created over distances by Marjorie Van Halteren (France) and Brian Price (USA) for the That Tuesday podcast. Mark Time Grandmaster Brian Price and his Great Northern Audio Theatre partner, Jerry Stearns, had a good year in 2017.  They won an APA Audie for their feature-length drama, IN THE EMBERS, and were awarded the Norman Corwin Award for a lifetime of Excellence in Audio Theatre.  Brian has written, directed and worked with audio theater groups across the country including Native Voices At the Autry, the Grist Mill, and the National Audio Theatre Festivals.  Most recently they released a live recording of his monologue, THE OLD CART WRANGLER’S SAGA, featuring David Ossman available on downpour.com.

Let's just say, Wick Terrell (@wickterrell) and the gang at Red Reporter have had a few things to write about this week.

Hollywood screenwriter and professional script doctor Brian Price, author of Classical Storytelling and Contemporary Screenwriting: Aristotle and the Modern Scriptwriter, found everything he needed to know about screenwriting in a 2,500-year-old text, Aristotle's Poetics. Brian and Jacke talk about how Aristotle’s study of Greek tragedy has unlocked the buried secrets of storytelling - and how those examples can be used to understand the storytelling secrets in everything from Casablanca to Spider-Man and Black Panther.

School Principals, Jenny Washington and Brian Price continue their discussion with their Hereora cluster facilitator, Rebbecca Sweeney about what it takes to build a future focused network of schools and early childhood services.

'It was a magnificent example of what moving to collaboration looks like. You've got to sit together; you've got to have difficult conversations; you've got to share information that's real. We walked away as a group' - Brian Price. Rebbecca Sweeney talks to Principals Brian Price and Jenny Washington about how they started working together and with others in their cluster.

This post was inspired by a conversation with Brian Price.He showed up first, and then I did.Or maybe it was the other way around.Whichever it was, the way he had showed up wasn't "right". I could hear it in his voice — feel it in his energy.But I hadn't yet seen it in myself.We meandered for a while. We settled in to the space.He, maybe with a gnawing desire to fix the things that weren't right. Me, definitely with a gnawing desire to take our conversation in the right direction.A coach doesn't have to be far in front of you. Sometimes it's all we need to have someone one step in front of us. Scrambling along the rocks together; excited, anxious, scared.But how can I be that if I'm three steps ahead of myself?I slow down.I let go of what I should be doing. I breathe.I get as present to him as I can.I breathe again.And then I realize that things seem pretty hard in this place he's in.It feels like floating in the sea, trying to grab any piece of floatsam you can to stay afloat. It's not an easy time to declare your course forward.I breathe into the heaviness, and I take on a piece of that burden — if only in my breathing.We're shouldering it together now.Suddenly everything shifts.We're breathing together.We're no longer doing a lot of hard work.We're just working. Together.At the end of our work, we connect again, and I ask him what I could acknowledge him for.He laughed, and shared:"For being a change-maker in the world"And that was how my next breakthrough in intimacy began..

Welcome to episode #28 where I am pleased to bring you a band that I wasn't sure I'd ever see on the LMP. When I saw that Cake was in the line-up for this year's Wakarusa festival I hoped there might be a chance that a taper would get their set. Fortunately for me Brian Price was able to pull off a great sounding recording and especially fortunate since I missed out on Wakarusa this year. Cake's catchy guitar riffs, blazing trumpet solos, and off the wall lyrics all make them a great band, but I don't know if they've gotten a lot of live attention. I've seen them a couple times in the past and take if from me if you are fan you will enjoy the show. You can't really argue with the statistics, 9 out of 10 German tourist interviewed agree that their songs rock even though they miss the rising action a little bit.

Iron Dragon, McKeed, Cardinal Richelieu, and of course Jefferson were all there.

Don't be nasty, or rude... this might not last as a segment idea, but we thought we'd give it a try. OG "guess the character in the envelope" ContestBryce had a great idea for a contest... (make sure to get your guesses in before Thursday morning... before we head out for AnimeNEXT) The cast has picked an anime character, wrote it down on a piece of paper, and sealed it up in an envelope. You the listener must figure out who the "character in the envelope" is... For this first week we just made the announcement of the contest. The prize will be a pack of goodies, a Lisa Ray CD, a T-Shirt from J-List, and maybe something more *hint*hint*cough*... So you ask what are the rules? Well they're pretty simple. First off, we will only accept one guess per email, once a week. If you put more than one guess, in an email, we will only take the first guess. You cannot enter more then once an week, and not more then once per email. Please pay attention to the use of the word "character", it could be a person, animal, car, mech, bryce, paul, a tree, a rock (assuming they are portrayed as "character" some how), almost anything. Each week will reveal a little more about the "character in the envelope" in an anime, until some one guesses it right, and wins.
