Send us a textHey my beautiful friends! This week, we're taking a bit of a different trail on the Project Weight Loss path—same concept of losing the things weighing you down. And money, has a way of triggering us, but it can also be something that helps us and others. So, we are hiking not just a money trail, a brick-and-mortar trail; rather, a heart-led journey through real estate and finances.Through this process of prepping for my Pacific Crest Trail hike (yes! Cascade Locks, here I come), I've been reflecting on how much real estate and money choices have shaped my life—and how much they mirror the work we do on ourselves.In this episode, I share personal lessons from decades of experience—owning homes, duplexes, apartment buildings, and learning the art of investing with both strategy and soul. We talk about teams, trust, risk, opportunity cost, and why it's never about how much you have—but how I used it to improve my life and the lives of others. Whether you're just starting to think about buying a home, building wealth, or setting up your legacy, this episode is here to spark curiosity, courage, and clarity. Join me—and let's get financially fit, emotionally grounded, and purposefully wealthy. “An investment in knowledge always pays the best interest.” – Benjamin Franklin [Disclaimer]The content of this podcast is for educational and inspirational purposes only.

Jeff Ragauskis checks in after attending the 2025 Home Run Derby with thoughts on how to fix MLB's biggest showcase event. Then, it's a reality check in the NL Central—why are the Brewers so consistent, and what can the Cubs learn from their rival's success? It's a jam-packed midseason episode of Bricks Behind the Ivy, full of insight, frustration, and plenty of fan perspective.
When's a stack of bricks not merely a stack of bricks? In this episode, our art consulting team jumps into Equivalent VIII by Carl Andre—it's this minimalist sculpture composed of 120 firebricks that really shook things up in the art world and had everyone talking. We discuss its creation, what it's constructed of, what it really represents, and the energy surrounding it, as we determine if this way-too-hyped work of art merits a residing spot in some high-end museum. Relax with us as we dissect something that appears really plain.Music Credit (if used): Cocktail Club by Clipchamp, used with permission

Join Christal, Ethan, and Emily as they talk about whether this simple piece of art belongs in the Tate Gallery. We look at the effects, repercussions, and legacy of Andre's work, from public indignation to changes in how people think about art. Is it a work of art or just a pile of bricks? You make the choice.

Exploring the art of Carl Andre A Pile of Bricks.
In Podcast Task 3, Lorena Vazquez, Katherine Marino, and Alec Aguiar explored every aspect of Carl Andre's Equivalent VIII piece from 1966, often called the “Pile of Bricks.” Andre's piece is a minimalist sculpture made of 120 firebricks stacked side-by-side in a perfect rectangle. Andre's 1966 sculpture sparked national debate, as many people thought it wasn't real art; however over time, it became respected for challenging traditional ideas about materials, beauty, and meaning in modern art. Like other minimalist works, it uses industrial objects and focuses on shape, weight, and space rather than emotional intensity. Andre's goal wasn't to shock but to make people see familiar materials differently and to question what art can be. Since the Tate Gallery bought it, they've preserved it by following Andre's wishes for the piece. Since its creation, Andre's sculpture has influenced many artists by demostrating how a single art piece can change the art scene to think more critically and creatively.
In this special episode, More than Just Bricks, students take a dive into a seemingly unassuming pile of bricks, but a tumultuous history stands behind it. In this tell-all of Carl Andre's most notable work, the questionarises: What defines art? Listen along as we take apart this hotly debated topic, and dive into the story behind the work.
In this episode, we dive into Carl Andre's controversial sculpture Equivalent VIII, also known as Pile of Bricks. As art consultants pitching to a skeptical museum board, we explore the work's minimalist intent, public backlash, and what it says about the very nature of art. Is it groundbreaking or just construction material?

They explore the differences in property ownership and capital access between developed and developing countries, emphasizing the role of trust in legal systems. The conversation highlights how understanding and leveraging capital can lead to wealth generation, especially for passive real estate investors. The episode concludes with a call to action for listeners to take advantage of the opportunities available in the real estate market. Takeaways Understanding title law is crucial for real estate investors. The Western world benefits from a strong legal system. Home equity is a significant source of wealth for Americans. Capital allows for the trading of assets and wealth creation. Trust in the legal system is essential for economic growth. Investors should leverage their assets to maximize returns. The concept of capital is a blessing in a capitalist society. Title law protects property rights and encourages investment. The ability to trade assets increases their value.
