Anika sat down with Amir Berenjian to explore how a former investment banker transitioned from multi-million dollar M&A spreadsheets to founding an immersive technology company. The conversation revealed a profound truth: the most powerful way to sell a brand or cause isn't through data alone, but through deeply emotional, shared experiences. Amir shares how REM5 Studios leverages virtual reality (VR) to transport trade show attendees to a Wisconsin dairy farm and global policymakers to the frontlines of polio eradication in Zambia, proving that immersive tech is far more than just a novelty.   In This Episode   How 12 years in M&A investment banking prepared Amir for immersive storytelling The pivotal moment of trying the Oculus Rift in 2016 and seeing the future of human-computer interaction Using pizza and beer to overcome VR skepticism in the corporate world Why the ROI of immersive tech at trade shows vastly outperforms traditional marketing trinkets Transporting global policymakers to Zambia to fight polio via VR with the Gates Foundation How a premium cheese brand uses VR to tell the story of a 100-year-old family farm The surprising dual-use of VR for both external marketing and internal employee onboarding How to test out immersive tech for your brand without breaking the budget   Timestamps 00:00 Introduction: From investment banking to immersive tech  02:09 The surprising emotional throughline between M&A banking and VR storytelling  04:38 The Oculus Rift "Aha!" moment and democratizing the "magic school bus" experience  07:35 Overcoming the VR accessibility barrier and corporate skepticism  11:13 Transitioning from corporate events to purpose-driven storytelling and global causes  13:33 The economics of immersive tech and why it's cheaper than you think  15:08 Dominating trade shows: Why shared VR experiences beat traditional marketing flyers  17:29 Case Study 1: Transporting customers to a 3rd-generation Wisconsin dairy farm  19:38 Case Study 2: Putting policymakers on the frontlines of polio with the Gates Foundation  20:23 How immersive 3D video actually works (and the nostalgia of the View-Master)  25:13 The 9-month planning process and why distribution is the biggest hurdle in VR  29:39 The intersection of AI, implicit bias, and leveraging technology for good  31:47 Measuring the impact and ROI of immersive storytelling  34:33 How small businesses can test the waters of VR for under $500  38:33 The dual value of VR: Using marketing tools for internal employee onboarding  41:42 What's next for REM5 Studios and the convergence of AI and spatial computing   Key Insights & Takeaways   Insight 1: M&A and VR are Both About Selling Emotion    Even in investment banking, multi-million dollar deals are driven by the emotional story of a business. Amir realized VR is simply the ultimate tool for democratizing that story, allowing clients to "tour the factory" and meet the founders without ever leaving the boardroom.   Insight 2: Immersive Tech Solves the Trade Show ROI Problem    Trade shows are filled with expensive, easily discarded trinkets and flyers. Immersive tech completely steals the show by giving attendees a shared, memorable experience that re-energizes them. Because the experience can be reused across dozens of events, it proves to be far more cost-effective and impactful than traditional trade show marketing waste.   Insight 3: The Technology is the Conduit, Not the Message    People easily get caught up in buzzwords like AR, VR, and spatial computing. But the goal isn't to talk about the tech—it's to use the tech to tell a story so effectively that users forget they're wearing a headset. Whether it's understanding the reality of polio eradication or the care behind a premium cheese, the tech is just a vehicle for presence and empathy.   Insight 4: Marketing Assets Make Perfect Internal Training Tools    An immersive experience originally designed to sell a product to consumers can instantly be repurposed as an onboarding tool for HR and accounting teams. Giving new or remote employees a virtual factory tour accelerates learning, reduces training costs, and emotionally connects desk workers to the company's physical roots.   Insight 5: You Can Test VR for Your Business on a Budget    You don't need a massive corporate budget to start experimenting with immersive storytelling. With a $400 Meta Quest headset or a free 30-minute demo at an Apple Store, business owners can experience existing VR content, identify use cases, and understand the medium before ever committing to a custom build.   Resources & Links Mentioned   REM5 Studios Polio's Last Mile (VR Experience available on Meta Quest & Apple Vision Pro) Meta Quest 3 / Apple Vision Pro   About Amir Berenjian Amir Berenjian is the co-founder and CEO of REM5 Studios, an immersive technology company based in Minneapolis that builds virtual and augmented reality experiences for brands and causes. Before transitioning to spatial computing, Amir spent 12 years in investment banking, facilitating over 100 M&A transactions for companies ranging from $10 million to over $1 billion in revenue. Today, he helps organizations like the Gates Foundation, Rotary International, and Fortune 500 companies leverage the power of VR to foster profound empathy, connection, and real-world impact.   Connect with Amir LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/amir-berenjian-90738220/ Website: REM5Studios.com Like the show?

Taking a weekend course can make you see tongue posture, restricted movement, and mouth breathing everywhere you look. But recognizing a pattern is vastly different from truly understanding it.In this solo episode, Hallie Bulkin addresses "The Myo Gap" - the space between noticing an isolated anatomical finding and developing the clinical depth to understand how it fits into a child's connected, multi-system picture. She unpacks why a restricted frenulum or forward resting tongue is merely a data point rather than an automatic diagnosis or treatment plan, and explains how shallow understanding leads clinicians to jump directly to conclusions, quick referrals, or "cookbook" exercises.Hallie breaks down how to conduct a deeper assessment by analyzing real-time compensations, motor coordination, sensory processing, and overall physical development. You'll learn why true clinical competence often leads to making fewer but far more valuable referrals, how to navigate honest parent conversations without false certainty, and why real clinical judgment requires mentored practice over quick information.Key Topics & TakeawaysThe "Sensitization" Trap: How new clinical learning creates pattern-recognition bias where every finding looks like the primary root cause.Observation vs. Diagnosis: Why a restricted frenulum or forward tongue posture is an initial observation point, not an immediate reason to prescribe exercises or surgical releases.Reading the Connected System: How to evaluate tongue function relative to jaw mechanics, lip seals, nasal breathing, overall muscle tone, sensory processing, and motor coordination.Selective, Value-Driven Referrals: Why advanced clinical discernment leads to fewer automatic referrals for releases and results in clearer, function-based communication with ENTs, dentists, and surgeons.Honest Parent Conversations: The shift from presenting false certainty ("Your child has a tie, so they need a release") to leading transparent, nuanced clinical discussions.Soundbites"Recognizing a pattern can feel a lot like understanding it before the depth is actually there. An observation is not a diagnosis, and it's definitely not a treatment plan.""Structure matters, but function matters more. Context determines what the structure actually means.""Confidence isn't giving parents a quick, simple answer—it's being able to separate what you know from what you suspect."Timestamps 001:04 - The Gap Between Knowing and Understanding Myo 02:50 - Clinical Sensitization & Pattern Recognition 04:23 - Case Study: 3-Year-Old with Low Tone 06:23 - What Deeper Assessment Looks Like 07:35 - Assessing a 2-Year-Old for Feeding Concerns09:04 - Myo Does Not Replace the Rest of the Child 10:20 - Structure vs. Function & Better Referrals 12:03 - Assessing Infants & The Feeding Dyad 13:28 - Communicating Honestly with Parents 15:20 - Myo vs. Feeding Therapy & Multi-Disciplinary Care 16:26 - How to Build True Clinical Competence18:21 - The Myo Method & Closing Thoughts Links & ResourcesThe MYO Method: Elevate your clinical reasoning, bridge assessment gaps, and master orofacial patterns at TheMyoMethod.com.Fast Myo Screening Tool: Stop guessing during your intakes and download the checklist at FastMyoScreening.com.WORTH A LISTEN: CONTINUE YOUR JOURNEYEpisode 132: Feeding With A Twist of Myo with Hallie Bulkin, MA, CCC-SLP, COM.Episode 150: Where To Start And End With TOTS?.STAY CONNECTED

Zu unseren freien Stellen: https://join.com/companies/broes-media In dieser Folge des Onlineshop Geflüster Podcasts spreche ich mit Alexandra, der Gründerin von Sinchens. Ex-Juristin, ausgestiegen aus dem Referendariat, dann ein Wollladen in Fürth aus reiner Leidenschaft, knapp vor Corona eröffnet. Neun Monate später kam der Lockdown, und einen Onlineshop gab es noch nicht. Über 35.000 Euro im Monat sind Laden und Shop zusammen nie hinausgekommen, egal was sie probiert hat. Gelebt hat sie davon nicht, ihr Mann hat sie durchgefüttert. Der Wendepunkt war eine Entscheidung gegen das Bauchgefühl: Geld nicht in mehr Ware stecken, sondern ins eigene Wissen und in bezahlte Werbung. Vorher lief alles rein organisch über Instagram. Zwei Dinge haben den Sprung gebracht: Meta Ads, die von Anfang an liefen, und der Launch eines eigenen Strickmagazins zusammen mit einem großen Hersteller. Ein Produkt für rund zwölf Euro, also ein extrem niedriger Warenkorb, mit dem Performance Marketing normalerweise nicht funktioniert. Bei Sinchens schon: über 13.000 verkaufte Magazine allein über den eigenen Shop, getragen von Nische, Community und dem Momentum des Launches. Du erfährst, warum jahrelanges organisches Wachstum bei ihr an eine harte Decke gestoßen ist und was sich mit bezahlter Werbung verändert hat, warum ein Warenkorb unter 25 Euro fast immer zum Scheitern verurteilt ist und wann er trotzdem trägt, und was der Weg in sechsstellige Monate mental gekostet hat, bis hin zur kleinen Ehekrise.

In this episode of Allworth's Money Matters, Scott and Pat take a deep dive into two real-world case studies that highlight the critical difference between being sold a product and receiving fiduciary advice.

Then, they address a $1.4 million retirement dilemma involving inherited assets and the "liquidity gap." What you'll learn in this episode: The Whole Life Red Flag: Why insurance "leverage" strategies often benefit the advisor more than the client. Inherited IRA Mastery: How to manage large inherited accounts without triggering unnecessary taxes or penalties. The Truth About Bonds: Why your current bond allocation might be creating a "liquidity trap" for your early retirement. Fiduciary vs. Commission: How to tell if your advisor is building a plan or just making a sale.

Many tax firm owners struggle to charge what they are worth and find themselves trapped in low-fee compliance work. On this episode, host Michelle Weinstein welcomes Rachel Ratliff, owner and founder of Ratliff Accounting & Tax, to discuss strategies for firm growth and value-based pricing. Rachel shares how she doubled her practice revenue in a single year while taking her first work-free vacation. She breaks down the follow-up process that landed her a $50,000 client from a prospect who initially seemed like a "no." Adopting a CEO mindset and setting strict client boundaries allowed her to stop trading time for dollars. This interview details how shifting from transactional work to relationship-based selling empowers firm owners to command premium fees with confidence.

Carolyn Woodard talks with Joe Robbins, Chief Product Officer at Food Rescue US, about a real-world AI project built from the ground up: a predictive model that flags volunteer pickups at high risk of a last-minute cancellation.Food Rescue US connects volunteers with food donors and receiving agencies through an app similar to a delivery service, coordinating about 150,000 pickups a year across 27 states. When a volunteer cancels within 24 hours of a pickup, site coordinators scramble to cover it or risk the relationship with the donor. Joe and his team partnered with a supply chain researcher at Michigan State University to build an algorithm that predicts cancellation risk and flags pickups at high-risk for cancellation. Rather than automating any decisions outright, the AI triggers an alert to the site coordinator, who checks with the volunteer about confirming the pickup or cancelling early. During the pilot and rollout the AI tool  flagged thousands of rescues that would have been last minute cancellations. Joe shares the practical lessons from a project that took a full year to scope, pilot, and improve: why good data capture has to come before any AI project, how a tightly scoped pilot funded through a grant reduced risk, and why keeping a human in the loop kept the tool trustworthy for staff and volunteers alike. He also offers a framework for nonprofits without an in-house AI researcher or technical staff to get started using AI for more than productivity tools.Joe and Carolyn discuss:How a predictive model helps Food Rescue US flag volunteer pickups at high risk of last-minute cancellation, giving site coordinators three to eight days of notice instead of a same-day scramble.Why the project deliberately keeps a human in the loop: the algorithm surfaces a risk score, but a site coordinator decides whether to act on it.Why clean, well-understood data capture has to happen before any AI project, and how to audit what data your organization already has.How building a pilot into a grant proposal made it easier to test small before rolling out more broadly.A framework for nonprofits without an in-house AI researcher: start with free assistant tools, learn what context AI needs to be useful, then look for a tightly scoped, well-documented problem to solve where you already have the data to use.What's next for Food Rescue US: using AI to take logistical pressure off site coordinators so they can focus on building community relationships.Resources Mentioned:Food Rescue US: https://foodrescue.usTech Soup AI Impact Hour interview with Joe: https://engage.techsoup.org/c/upcoming-events/ai-impact-hour-for-nonprofits _______________________________Start a conversation :)Register to attend a webinar in real time, and find all past transcripts at https://communityit.com/webinars/email Carolyn at cwoodard@communityit.comon LinkedIn on reddit/r/nonprofitITmanagementon the Community IT websiteThanks for listening.

Guns Up, real estate investors! In this episode of The Note Closers Show, Scott Carson heads up to Lubbock, Texas, to analyze a unique non-performing first-lien note case study. This occupied 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home features significant recent exterior rehab (new roof, windows, and paint), 33% equity, and a surprisingly low $158/month principal and interest payment that has gone unpaid for nearly two years! Scott walks through the exact due diligence, valuation metrics, and multiple exit strategies—showing you how to navigate low interest rates, foreclosure options, and REO sales to target returns ranging from 25% to over 67%!Detailed Episode HighlightsProperty & Location: 3-bed, 2-bath, 1,881 sq. ft. single-family home (built in 1950) on a 7,900 sq. ft. lot in Lubbock, Texas. Loan Details & Peculiarities: Non-performing first lien with an estimated legal balance of $85,600 and a 3.25% interest rate. The original 2005 loan was $40,000, resulting in an unusually low $158.39/month payment. Property Condition & Transition: Recent Zillow imagery reveals major exterior upgrades (new roof, single-tone paint, new windows) compared to older bank BPOs from 2022 ($88K value). Current Zestimate sits conservatively at $129,000. Occupancy & Title Research: Tax rolls and deed records show the property was transferred from the original borrower to his daughter, who currently occupies the home. Exit Strategy #1 (Reinstatement Risk): Why requiring full reinstatement (36 months of payments in year 1) is mandatory—and why a low $158/month payment yields an unappealing 2.77% long-term return without foreclosure pressure. Exit Strategy #2 (Foreclosure Auction): Bidding at 80% of legal balance ($68,500) offers a $17,000 gross profit if sold at auction (~25% annualized ROI or 100% simple return on a 90-day timeline). Exit Strategy #3 (REO Retain & Retail Sale): Foreclosing and taking the property back to sell at $122,000 net proceeds yields a potential $41,300 profit (67%+ ROI). Key Risk Factors: Managing bankruptcy risks, unknown interior conditions, and evaluating servicing notes/right-party contacts.

Looking for a low-risk, high-yield opportunity to deploy your capital or retirement funds? In this episode of The Note Closers Show, Scott Carson breaks down a lucrative, short-term performing hard money loan right outside the thriving Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex in Mesquite, Texas! With a massive equity cushion, a strong 650-FICO borrower making 20% down, and a 49% Investment-to-Value (ITV) position, this short-term first lien note offers an incredible double-digit return over an 8-month hold period. Whether you're looking to get lazy money off the sidelines or want to see how real note investors calculate real returns and structure low-LTV deals, this case study is packed with practical numbers and actionable strategies!Detailed Episode Bullet PointsProperty & Location Profile: A 1,854 sq. ft., 3-bed/2-bath single-family home (built in 1998) located in Mesquite, Texas—a high-growth corridor just east of Dallas along I-30.

The unpaid principal balance (UPB) is just $156,800, placing your investment at a remarkably safe 49% Loan-to-Value/ITV.

In this week's episode, Casey sits down with Todd Miller, longtime BYU Golf coach, mentor, and son of golf legend Johnny Miller, for a conversation about leadership, faith, mentorship, and the principles that shape championship culture.Todd shares the lessons passed down through generations of his family, the mindset that has guided his life and career, and why developing people will always matter more than developing players. From growing up alongside one of golf's greatest champions to coaching All-Americans and PGA Tour professionals, Todd reflects on the importance of character, conviction, and creating an environment where people can reach their full potential.Together, Casey and Todd explore what separates great competitors from great leaders, the power of authentic mentorship, and why success is ultimately measured by the lives you influence, not the trophies you collect.[00:00] No success can compensate for failure at home[00:25] Welcome back to Case Studies[00:59] Coming to golf later in life[02:55] Growing up a Miller in golf's shadow[04:33] Time with Dad after the tour[06:00] Grandpa Miller building champions[08:46] Four brothers, four All-Americans[16:26] BYU golf as a family forever[20:30] Faith in the Miller household[34:23] Choosing a mission over golf[44:47] Building a coaching career on conviction[57:03] Twenty years building BYU golf[1:07:00] Caddying Carson's eagle at the US Am[1:12:56] The future of BYU golfThe information in this communication is provided for informational purposes only and does not constitute investment advice, a recommendation, or a solicitation to invest in any fund or security.

Welcome back, note investors! Scott Carson, "The Note Guy," is diving into a high-potential case study straight out of the hot Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex! In this breakdown, Scott walks through a vacant reverse mortgage (HECM) deal located in Grand Prairie, Texas. With an unpaid legal balance sitting far below the market value, this deal offers multiple exit strategies—whether you are looking for a quick 90-day foreclosure flip or taking it back as an REO for a massive profit margin. If you've been curious about how to analyze real estate debt, structure winning bids, and generate annualized returns ranging from 40% to over 80%, this episode is packed with numbers, strategy, and actionable steps! Key Highlights & Deal BreakdownProperty Overview: A 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom, 1,505 sq. ft. home built in 1969, sitting in the Grand Prairie (DFW) area. Loan Details: High Equity Convertible Mortgage (HECM / Reverse Mortgage) where the original borrower has passed away, leaving the home vacant. Valuation & Balance: Property value sits around $263,000 against a $176,000 total legal balance owed on the loan. Strategy #1 (Quick Foreclosure Flip): Bidding at 80%–90% of the legal balance allows investors to target a $18K to $35K gross profit directly at the 90-day foreclosure auction. Strategy #2 (REO Takeback & Rehab): Foreclosing, spending ~$30K in cosmetic interior cleanup/renovations, and reselling on the retail market yields a projected $49,000 net profit (a 52% annualized ROI). Due Diligence Steps: How to review interior photos/BPOs, double-check legal heirship notices, pull title work, and work alongside foreclosure attorneys. Episode ConclusionOpportunities like this Grand Prairie reverse mortgage showcase the true power of being the bank. Whether you have capital ready to deploy or want to partner on high-yield real estate notes, now is the time to take action!

A study of Matthew Chapter 8 by Dr. Darrell Tate.

In this episode, we explore the provocative art of Iranian modernist Bahman Mohassess and his unconventional approach to the human figure. Through his distorted and fragmented forms, we examine how art can challenge traditional ideas of beauty, identity, and physical perfection. Our discussion considers whether what appears to be "ugly" can communicate deeper truths about alienation, vulnerability, and the human condition. We also explore how cultural and political contexts can influence the way challenging artwork is created, viewed, censored, or remembered. Join us as we question whether distortion is simply a rejection of beauty—or a powerful new way of seeing and understanding ourselves.

Are you ready to stop chasing traditional real estate flips and start dominating the high-yield world of paper investing? In this episode of The Note Closers Show, Scott Carson breaks down a highly lucrative, real-world case study on a vacant, non-performing reverse mortgage (HECM) located in the booming market of Waco, Texas—home of Baylor University! This unique asset has been on the radar for nearly a year, and Scott shares exclusive details after personally driving the neighborhood and walking the exterior of this red-brick family home. When an elderly reverse mortgage borrower passes away, the family often walks away, leaving a property packed with hidden equity and a fast-track path to profitability for savvy note buyers. Scott pulls back the curtain on the asset's internal BPO, dissecting the interior condition, the layout of the property, and the exact foreclosure timeline in the state of Texas. You will learn how to analyze the legal balance against real-world comps, manage a cosmetic "lipstick on a pig" clean-out budget, and protect your capital from market devaluations. Whether your goal is a quick 90-day foreclosure auction exit that yields a staggering 40% to 80% annualized ROI, or taking the asset back as an REO to capture a $39,000 net profit, this episode delivers the exact step-by-step numbers you need to replicate this strategy. Scott also maps out the critical due diligence items every investor must verify, from pulling fresh title reports to utilizing a realtor walk-through before pulling the trigger.

The ceiling wasn't clinical ability, passion or effort…It was the business model.  What happens when two busy practice owners realize they've both become the biggest obstacle to their own growth? In this case study, Dr. Aaron Collins and Dr. Nathan Clem share how two thriving but plateaued practices became one scalable business by replacing personality-driven growth with leadership, systems, and shared vision.  After spending 15 years running independent practices, they partnered together, embraced the Chiropractic Operating System, nearly doubled their business with a smaller team, and created more freedom for both their families and their future. Their story proves that sustainable growth isn't about working harder. It's about building a business that can grow beyond the people who started it.   In This Case Study you will: See how two successful practices broke through years of stagnation by joining forces instead of continuing to grow alone.  Discover why replacing personality-driven leadership with systems became the turning point for sustainable growth.  Follow the evolution from owner/operators to CEOs who built a business instead of simply running one.  Hear what changed after implementing a partnership built on complementary strengths rather than overlapping responsibilities.  Gain insight into how doubling the business with a smaller team created greater freedom, profitability, and impact. Episode Highlights 03:14 - Two successful practices had both reached the same frustrating ceiling, proving that growth can stall even when a business appears successful. 04:13 - A New Year's Eve conversation between longtime friends became the unexpected beginning of a completely new business vision. 08:14 - The realization that a personality-driven practice could never outgrow the person leading it changed everything. 09:37 - One powerful distinction reframed growth forever: the greatest strength of a leader can eventually become the greatest weakness of the organization. 10:36 - Systems didn't replace leadership. They created the structure that allowed everyone on the team to perform at a higher level. 11:09 - Year after year, disciplined execution transformed one partnership into a business approaching twice its original size. 13:49 - Greater profitability became the vehicle for something even more valuable: more freedom, fewer clinical days, and a business designed around life. 17:41 - The biggest identity shift wasn't becoming a better clinician. It was letting go of being the center of the business. 21:19 - Building a "stop doing" list became just as important as building a to-do list for sustainable growth. 23:55 - The future belongs to practices that learn to build remarkable businesses, not just deliver remarkable care. 26:05 - A thriving practice deserves a financial strategy to match. Dr. Andrew welcomes Bel Gibbons from Success Partner Investorus Strategists to share how personalized financial planning, investment strategies, and long-term wealth creation help chiropractors turn today's success into tomorrow's legacy.   Resources Mentioned To learn more about the REM CEO Program, please visit:  http://www.theremarkablepractice.com/rem-ceo For more information about Investorus please visit: https://investorus.com.au  Book a Strategy Session with Dr. Pete - https://go.oncehub.com/PodcastPC Prefer to watch?

Are you tired of leaving your investment capital sitting on the sidelines, waiting for the "perfect" real estate deal to come along? In this episode of The Note Closers Show, Scott Carson delivers a massive shortcut to double-digit returns without the headaches of traditional property management, intensive due diligence, or multi-decade commitments. We are breaking down a high-yield, short-term case study on a performing Texas hard money loan located in the fast-growing market of Richardson, Texas—just north of Dallas. Discover how a seasoned, nationwide hard money lender is looking to recapitalize their growing business by selling off pieces of a $13 million performing paper portfolio. This featured asset is a true first lien secured by a vacant, four-bedroom red brick probate property undergoing a light cosmetic refresh by an experienced local rehabber. With $36,000 of the borrower's own skin in the game and a disciplined 70% loan-to-after-repair-value (ARV) cushion, this asset is built from the ground up to protect investor capital while kicking off serious cash flow. Scott walks you step-by-step through the underlying numbers, explaining how purchasing this note at par delivers a powerful 12.89% cash-on-cash ROI over a brief 11-to-12-month timeline. You will also learn about the "Rule of 72" and how securing a consistent 12% interest rate can put your retirement funds or self-directed IRA on the fast track to doubling every six years. Whether you want to step into an immediate monthly stream of $3,298, let the originating lender handle all ongoing servicing and rehab monitoring, or learn the exact steps to foreclose and capture a massive equity spread if things go sideways, this episode is your ultimate guide to truly passive real estate wealth. Key Topics Covered in This Episode:The Power of Short-Term Paper: Why a 1-year performing hard money loan is a perfect alternative to long-term 30-year notes for agile capital allocation. Richardson, TX Case Study: Detailed asset breakdown of a 4-bed, 2-bath probate property sitting in a highly desirable DFW submarket. Dissecting the Numbers: Understanding the math behind a $304,000 note balance yielding an impressive 12.89% ROI. Built-In Downside Protection: Why a 70% LTV, a strict lender escrow holdback, and $36,000 in borrower skin in the game keeps your investment secure. True Passive Investing: How the original lender retains servicing, monitors the rehab progress, and handles downside management on your behalf. The Rule of 72 Explained: How to implement a repeatable "rinse and repeat" model to double your investment capital every six years. Due Diligence and Legal Rights: Navigating first lien positions, reviewing credit/FICO profiles, and leveraging Texas's fast 30-day foreclosure process. Ready to stop waiting and start taking action?

So with that introduction, welcome to the show, Mario.Mario 00:00:58  Josh, thank you so much for having me on the show. I'm really excited, and I think you and I were going to have a powerful conversation filled with lots of value for your listeners.Josh 00:01:07  One of those inner thoughts in my mind, when I'm having to make either a difficult decision or I have to slow down in order to like create an SOP or to hire a team member because, you know, that's that's the next step. That's what needs to happen. My frustration is I think that those should what are the things I know I should be doing? And it's more along the lines of, I should have a $100 million business. I look at all the other successful e-commerce businesses. I feel like I'm just as capable as they are, but I'm doing something wrong. I'm spending too much time on these little tasks and I'm making this a little decision, like, why am I not at that $100 million already? And what what would you say to that? Like, I feel like that's what's kind of like deep down. Like I have this vision of I love my potential, but I'm not there yet, right? And so I beat myself up.Mario 00:02:07  Yeah. This is a classical one.Mario 00:02:09  And again, I want to honor you for stepping one step further out. And I think a lot of your listeners will be will resonate with that because they look at where they are and then they tell themselves, I'm not where I'm supposed to be. There's so much inside of me that can be brought up. And, you know, it's true. There is so much more inside of you that can be brought out. But the reason it's not already out is because actually, you do not want the 100 million. Because if you have the 100 million, you know that there's something that's going to increase. Often in a mental perspective, the amount of problems will increase, right? That's why they say biggie made the song. More money, more problems, more responsibility, more, more being on your own because, you know, you climb the mountain even higher and so. Less people to relate to. If you're the 100 million guy, maybe in your family, you're the only one. And so nobody really, truly knows how Josh feels when Josh is by himself.Mario 00:03:09  And so all of that is what I call a self-sabotaging mechanism, where you tell yourself consciously, yep, I want the $100 million business. But unconsciously you are scared of that. Because here's the thing what a self-sabotaging mechanism is. It's your conscious mind working against your unconscious mind. And if you've ever seen the picture of the iceberg where you know, you see the tiny peak above the water and the huge body underneath, your unconscious mind makes up about 95% of everything. So if you are like, yes, I want that $100 million business, your unconscious mind. No bro no no no no no, not gonna happen. That's way too much. So first of all, I would have you look at the reality of the way that you're showing up and divorce this idea that what you want is the $100 billion business. Because if your behavior shows the opposite, what you really want is you want to stay safe. You want to stay in control. You want to stay in your comfort zone. And there's nothing wrong with that.Mario 00:04:12  That's the first realization that I would bring in. And then second is to look at what is it that's missing for you if you truly want to get to that $100 million level, there are certain needs that you have that are currently not being fulfilled. It might be more of a support system. It might be someone like a coach or a...

Brian Murphy spent thirty years building Portfolio Advisors from a bare office with no furniture into a firm that raised roughly $90 billion and delivered an 18.4% compounded return to its clients. In this episode of Case Studies, Brian sits down with Casey to trace that arc, from selling bootleg fireworks as a kid to restructuring a broken $395 million portfolio at twenty-nine years old, and ultimately building one of the most creative fund structures in private equity.The conversation moves well beyond deal mechanics. Brian unpacks the mindset behind solving problems no one else would touch, the discipline of building partnerships instead of hierarchies, and why he and his wife, Louise, chose to fund college educations for the children of their employees rather than keep more for themselves.[00:00] Introducing Brian Murphy[02:15] Childhood hustles and mopeds[05:35] Born with the entrepreneurial bug[13:26] Painting crews and street credit[20:36] Landing at Columbia Business School[25:04] Restructuring, Blackstone, and Gibson Greetings[33:21] Founding Portfolio Advisors[43:09] Ninety billion and an 18.4% return[45:33] Sharing equity with employees[52:00] The scholarship gift to staff[1:13:31] The Murphy family bank[1:29:56] Lessons from every market crashThe information in this communication is provided for informational purposes only and does not constitute investment advice, a recommendation, or a solicitation to invest in any fund or security.

If you're a founder who has been trying to do everything, you're not alone, and it doesn't have to stay that way. In this episode, you'll go behind the scenes of a Ninety Five Media client journey to learn how strategic marketing transformed not only the brand's social media presence but their entire business. This case study highlights how one small business used social media strategy, weekly email marketing, consistent brand messaging, and quarterly content creation to grow from 15,000 to more than 30,000 followers and generate massive new business opportunities. You'll also learn about the power of outsourcing and the impact of having integrated marketing rather than chasing quick wins. This episode offers a practical look at how consistent systems create compounding business results over time, and they can for you too.  Listen in as Emma explains: How outsourcing creates space for founders to scale strategically Why social media works best within a multi-channel marketing strategy How strategic marketing creates opportunities far beyond follower growth   And much, much more!

What if the smartest retirement move isn't retiring at all?In this episode, I walk through a case study of a 59-year-old professional with more than $3 million saved who could retire tomorrow, but isn't sure he should.Instead of asking whether he can retire, we explore a different question:What if he simply stopped saving for retirement?By redirecting tens of thousands of dollars each year toward travel, family, hobbies, and experiences while continuing to work a few more years, he may actually improve both his financial confidence and his quality of life.In this episode we discuss:• What "coasting to retirement" really means• When saving more stops meaningfully improving your retirement• How delaying retirement changes your odds of success• How many high-income professionals oversave• How to know if you've already "won the game"• The emotional side of retirement planningEvery retirement plan is different, but if you're approaching retirement with $1 million, $2 million, or more saved, this may be one of the most important mindset shifts you'll ever hear.⛳ PFR Nation (Who This Is For)If you're over 50, have saved seven figures (or multiple seven figures), love golf and travel, and you want to make work optional while minimizing taxes… welcome to the community!-KevinConnect with me here:​⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Followthe podcast⁠​⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠JoinMy Company Newsletter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠This is for general education purposes only and shouldnot be considered as tax, legal or investment advice.

Sydney was in ministry. She was serving God, leading others, preaching His love and promises. But behind closed doors, she felt miles away from Him. She knew God's word. She could quote the promises. She believed they were true... for everyone else. But for her, they felt so far off. Like words on a page that didn't quite land in her heart. And on top of that, she was going through a breakup, questioning her job, unsure of her next steps, and secretly struggling with food in a way she'd never fully acknowledged before. She found comfort in food. She thought that was normal. But she didn't realize how much that comfort was masking a deeper disconnection from herself and from God. Sydney was stuck in a cycle of comparison, shame, and pressure. She put so much pressure on herself to have her walk with God look a certain way, to feel a certain way about Him. And when she didn't, the shame would creep in. She couldn't separate her circumstances from her view of God. And she couldn't separate the drama in her head from the truth. Everything felt true. The lies felt like facts. And she didn't know how to sift through it. In June 2025, at 26 years old, Sydney made a decision. She wasn't going to keep living like this. She wasn't going to let this be her narrative for the rest of her life. She was single, she had time, and she knew: why not now? In this powerful case study, Sydney shares how she finally learned to separate what she perceived to be her reality from what was actually true. How she got to the bottom of the iceberg instead of just trying to fix the tip. How she learned to feel her feelings without falling down the rabbit hole. How she stopped slapping positive affirmations and Scripture on top of pain that hadn't been processed. And how she finally invited God into the one area of her life she'd kept Him out of: her food, her body, her self-image. Today, Sydney is living from a place of freedom. She's comfortable being alone with herself and with God. She actually looks forward to journaling and praying. She's not turning to food for comfort anymore because she's found real comfort in God and in herself. And the sweetest part? She's now able to pass on what she's learned. She's helping her friends catch the lies they're believing. She's loving people better because she finally learned how to love herself. If you've ever felt like you know God's promises are true but they don't feel true for you, or if you've ever felt disconnected from God even while serving Him, Sydney's story is for you. Because healing isn't about trying harder or knowing more. It's about getting to the root. And it's about finally inviting God into the places you've kept Him out.

Her trigger moment was a combination of a few things: The 35-40 lbs she'd been carrying for two decades, since the birth of her two children, that simply wouldn't shift Reaching her early 50s and experiencing menopause, and seeing high cholesterol in her annual blood test Plantar fasciitis, which was starting to affect her ability to walk and her day-to-day life Since then, she's dropped 40 lbs and gone well beyond what she ever expected. Perhaps the biggest win of all: as a lifelong insomnia sufferer, she now falls asleep almost as soon as she hits the pillow, rather than the two to four hours she used to lie awake. She was also diagnosed with hypothyroidism many years ago, and as a result believed getting into shape was simply never going to be possible for her. But her journey with RNT over the past 18 months has completely changed that belief, and she's gone on to inspire many others to join RNT and take charge of their own health. At her daughter's wedding a few months ago, she was continuously mistaken for the bride's sister rather than her mother, which is surely the ultimate compliment. I'm excited for you to listen to this one.

Three low appraisals. Ten days. One Realtor who used to be an appraiser herself, with a dad and sister still in the field. If you've been hearing agents in your market say appraisals are coming in low right now, you're not imagining it. In this episode, Alissa walks us through three real, current transactions where the appraisal came in under contract price, and what she actually did about each one. From a $20,000 gap that took two hours of dispute writing to a $55,000 shortfall that made her question her entire career, this is a real look at what it takes to fight for your seller, or protect your buyer, when the number comes back low. We get into why appraisers are often behind the market, what actually goes into a strong appraisal dispute letter, why you should never let ChatGPT write the whole thing for you, and how to keep your sellers grounded without ever making promises you can't keep. Here's what we cover in this episode: Why appraisals are coming in low right now, and why appraisers are always a little behind the market Case Study #1: the $20,000 low appraisal that got resolved for a $13,000 gap Exactly how to start an appraisal dispute (and why you review before you call your seller) What actually goes in a dispute letter: facts only, no feeling words Why you can't rely on ChatGPT to write your dispute for you Buyer and seller options when an appraisal comes in low, and who really has to sign off Case Study #2: the small $3,000 gap where the seller chose not to dispute at all Case Study #3: the $55,000 appraisal gap that took two of the longest dispute letters of the week How to set your sellers' expectations at the listing appointment so a low number doesn't blindside them Why you're just the messenger with data, and how to keep that from feeling personal Key Quotes & Takeaways: "It needs to be written as factual. Only the facts." – Alissa "You have to know these houses. If the appraiser makes a mistake, the computer doesn't know it's a mistake." – Alissa "You're just a messenger with data." – Katy "It's not that I'm not confident. It's that I know a second appraisal could come in lower too." – Alissa Products, People & Previous Episodes Mentioned: ChatGPT / AI tools (referenced as a starting point for reviewing an appraisal, not a replacement for agent fact-checking) Got a toast for someone who's helped you in your business?

Dr. Heather and I just did something we've never done on this podcast before. Can two hormone practitioners actually guess a client's gut test results just from her symptoms alone?That's the game we played on this week's episode, and honestly, neither of us knew if we'd end up looking brilliant or completely humbled. We took a real client case, someone newer to us who we barely knew yet, and we called our shots on her labs before opening a single result: just her age, her symptoms, and a peek at how she eats.Then we pulled up her actual GI-MAP and Full Monty panel live and found out exactly how close we got.It's part detective game, part science breakdown, part two friends arguing over bacteria names we can barely pronounce. We nerded out for almost forty minutes on one test, and it's one of my favorite episodes we've ever recorded.Here's what we get into:Why a client eating clean, whole foods can still be bloated, exhausted, and moody for a full week before her periodThe gut bacteria and mood connection that had Heather and me both going Wait, say that againWhat a low SigA marker can tell you about immune function, gut lining, and even fertilityWhy a history of constipation is one of the first things we flag before we even look at a testHow H. pylori and low stomach acid quietly sabotage digestion without you ever knowing it's happeningWhether our predictions actually matched her real results, or if one of us had to eat some serious wordsIf you've ever sat there staring at labs that say normal while your body is screaming otherwise, I made this one for you. Normal doesn't mean thriving. It just means you landed somewhere inside a range built for the general population, not built for you.This client's story is honestly so relatable it's almost funny. She's doing everything "right." Four eggs, good fats, whole foods, eating at home most nights. And she's still dealing with a full week of PMS symptoms before her period even shows up. Low energy. Irritability. Some days that dip into sadness she can't explain. If you've been there, wondering why doing all the right things isn't fixing how you feel, this episode walks through the actual why behind it.What made this one so fun (and honestly a little vulnerable for both of us) is that Heather and I had to commit to our guesses out loud before we had any idea if we were right. She'd say something like "I think Morganella is going to be high" and I'm sitting there going, nothing crazy, and then we just had to wait and see who got humbled first. Turns out guessing is a lot easier when your name isn't on the test.We talk through her gut bacteria levels, what butyrate actually does for your mood (it's more connected to how you feel emotionally than people realize), and how low good bacteria can quietly wear down your gut lining without a single obvious symptom pointing you there. We also break down beta-glucuronidase, which sounds intimidating but is really just the marker that tells you whether your body is clearing estrogen properly or pulling it back in for a rerun nobody asked for.Then there's the SigA conversation, which might be my favorite part of the whole episode. That one marker says so much about whether your immune system has any fight left in it, and it matters even more if you're trying to conceive. We really go there.What I love most about this episode is the reminder that you don't have to have sixteen different problems to explain why you feel off. A lot of the time it really is one or two things: bile flow, mineral depletion, a gut lining that needs some love, quietly running the whole show behind the scenes. Once you can actually see what's happening, the fix is usually a lot less complicated than you'd expect.So if you've been staring at your own "normal" results, feeling confused about why your body doesn't feel normal at all, or if you just want to sit in on two practitioners guessing, bickering a little, and geeking out over gut bacteria in real time, hit play.Guess along with us. See if your gut instinct beats ours.CONNECT WITH DR. HEATHER:WebsiteIG: @drheatherrhodesNEED HELP FIXING YOUR HORMONES?

This one is personal. The belief "Whatever I do/try, it doesn't work for me" has been living rent free in my mind for way too long and I've spend the last 3 weeks doing the detective work to release it for good!In this episode, I go into detail on the process I use to release this belief by finding past specific events that keep supporting it.Spoiler alert: The way you felt rejected by people could be fuelling you being rejected by the things you want but aren't getting yet.

When a child walks into your clinic presenting with a tongue thrust, a high-arched palate, or a complex feeding delay, what is your immediate clinical instinct? Is it to reach for a specific exercise in your toolkit, or is it to zoom out and analyze how the entire system is functioning together?In this solo episode, Hallie Bulkin dives into the powerful paradigm shift of becoming an integrated therapist. She challenges the common trap of relying on isolated techniques and instead lays out a roadmap for evaluating children holistically.Hallie breaks down how to run multiple clinical lenses simultaneously - from airway and breathing considerations to structural vs. functional anatomy, neurological diagnoses, and the sensory-motor layers of feeding.Key Topics & TakeawaysThe Integrated Mindset: Why focusing too closely on a single tool or therapy protocol creates clinical blind spots, and how to zoom out to assess the whole child.Running the Airway Lens First: How structural issues (like mouth breathing and palate shape) directly impact downstream oral motor habits like a tongue thrust.Deconstructing the Feeding Layers: Organizing feeding challenges into clear mechanical, sensory, and behavioral tiers to know exactly where to begin treatment.Soundbites"Look at the whole connected system. If you only look at the mouth in a vacuum, you miss the structural foundation driving the compensation.""We have to ask: what is the whole system doing? When you treat a symptom without treating the root cause, you're just chasing shadows.""Find the fire, not just the smoke.

Lisé Kuecker and Alina Cooper break down how to build boutique fitness partnerships that actually pay in Episode 739: Turning Studio Partnerships Into Real Revenue. Start small and local: coffee shops, salons and restaurants make low-cost, high-return referral partners when you're early Get the timing right: you need steady memberships, solid SOPs and a ready team before partnerships become a distraction instead of a boost Stack the revenue tiers: move from goods-in-kind to big giveaways, affiliate profit-shares, in-house pop-ups and brand collabs Go where the real money is: corporate and real estate partnerships can drive 30% of revenue—or capital contributions in the hundreds of thousands Protect and nurture the relationship: align on values, track the data, build in exit clauses, and add one partnership at a time Every strong partnership starts with two questions: what do your clients actually need, and what can you genuinely do for the partner in return. Nail that alignment, invest in the relationship, and you build a revenue stream that compounds for years. Episode 739 shows you how. Catch you there.

While Pat is on vacation, Scott and partner advisor Richard Del Monte break down two high-stakes financial scenarios that highlight the difference between "good on paper" and "good in practice." Through two detailed caller case studies, they explore: Case Study 1: The $450k New Doctor. After 15 years of medical training, a 32-year-old is finally hitting a massive salary. But with multiple retirement options like 403(b)s and non-governmental 457 plans, her father is worried about "tying her hands" too early. Scott and Richard explain why some retirement plans are actually "traps" for young high-earners and how to use the "mega backdoor" Roth to maximize flexibility. Case Study 2: The $1.1M Retirement Reality Check. A couple plans to retire next year with just over $1 million, but they're facing $125k in immediate "one-time" expenses for a wedding and new vehicles. The duo discusses the "4% Rule," the danger of "confusing a bull market with brilliance," and why a 19% return today doesn't guarantee a stress-free tomorrow. The Philosophy of Work: Richard Del Monte shares his personal "25-year plan" at age 70 and discusses why the most successful people often choose engagement over a traditional retirement.   Join Money Matters:  Get your most pressing financial questions answered by Allworth's co-founders Scott Hanson and Pat McClain.
