In the late 2000s, two movements emerged in Sao Paulo, each trying to make the city more humane and livable for its residents. On the one hand, green policy elites worked on a downtown revitalization plan that would model a moreintelligently dense, and hence lower-carbon, style of urbanism. On the other, the city's housing movement occupied vacant buildings to pressure state actors to build up affordable housing and democratize urban planning. These groupscould have been allies, but first, they ended up on opposite sides of a battle over the future of the city. What were the conditions for the climate and housing agenda to pull in the same direction?There is a line of argumentation that says: “working class people don't care about the environment or climate change; this is a privilege of the middle class or urban educated elites, that is incapable of accounting for the immediate necessities many families have”. And yet, this itself fails to recognize that many working class struggles already have a green agendaof sorts: they want good housing in central places; they want transit systems that work and access to urban amenities that the wealthy already have. In other words, what the environmentalist movement – and its critics - sometimes miss isthat some of the most important climate actors are not always the people who speak in the language of carbon emissions and bike lanes, but rather fight for the right to the city.Talking through this today is Daniel Aldana Cohen, who is not only Assistant Professor  of Sociology at UC Berkeley, but is also one of my models for public intellectual and leftist policynerds, particularly around working class politics and climate change. In this episode, we talk about Daniel's upcoming book, titled Street Fight: Climate Change and Inequality in the 21st Century City. We look at the case of Nova Luz, a downtown redevelopment project sold as a green and dense revitalization urbanism, but that was actually experienced by housing movements as a kind of displacement from above. But the framing that there is an intrinsic conflict between climate and social justice is a strawman – instead, we need to understand the distinction between luxury and democratic ecologies and who reaps the benefits or pays the costs of these different political projects. There is a critique, but also hope in this! The environmental movement is doomed to alienate working class people if it shifts the costs of changes onto the people already bearing the worst brunt of climate change and inequality.But by integrating working class needs – including appropriate measures – such as protecting housing security to avoid green gentrification, or creating affordable housing in central locations – then the power of both movements can reinforce each other. This isn't necessarily easy, and there are tensions tonavigate – but it's the only long-term strategy that can create a deep leftist project of public affluence and climate justice. Daniel Aldana Cohen is Assistant Professor of Sociology at the University of California, Berkeley, where he is Director of the Socio-Spatial Climate Collaborative, or (SC)2, and serves as a member of the Graduate Group of the Designated Emphasis in Political Economy. He is also Founding Co-Director of the Climate and Community Institute (CCI), a progressive climate and economy think tank. He has been a CIFAR Azrieli Global Scholar (2021-24), and Member of the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, NJ (2018-19). He is the co-author of A Planet to Win: Why We Need a Green New Deal (Verso 2019).

Scott Duffy's entrepreneurial journey is proof that success rarely follows a predictable roadmap. In this episode of Inventive Journey with Devin Miller, Scott shares an incredible story that spans hot dog stands, catastrophic setbacks, Tony Robbins, Silicon Valley startups, internet media companies, and the rise of artificial intelligence.Scott's story starts in Los Angeles where his father intentionally pushed him toward responsibility early in life. Working at hot dog stands and catering events taught him customer service, accountability, and work ethic before most teenagers even understand what taxes are. Eventually he found himself selling quiche at a food cart in Century City, which may be one of the least glamorous but most educational entrepreneurial beginnings imaginable.After graduating high school, Scott attended the University of San Diego where a simple piece of networking advice changed everything. He built relationships with the university's career counseling department early and that eventually opened the door to AAA Student Painters. There, Scott learned real entrepreneurial skills including hiring, operations, billing, customer service, inventory management, and leadership.Then came a life-changing tragedy.During a trip to Mexico in college, Scott was involved in a devastating car accident that left him with brain hemorrhages and forced him to leave school temporarily. Recovery became one of the hardest periods of his life. Unable to comfortably read or watch television, Scott spent his days listening to motivational audio programs from icons like Jim Rohn, Zig Ziglar, Brian Tracy, and Tony Robbins.That unexpected detour eventually led him to apply for an internship with Tony Robbins. Instead of an internship, he was offered a job.Working alongside Tony Robbins during the early growth years of the company transformed Scott's perspective on mindset, communication, sales psychology, and business development. One of the most valuable lessons he learned involved understanding customer psychology through deeper questioning. Scott explains why simply asking customers what they want is not enough and how businesses must understand how customers define value personally.The episode also dives into Scott's entrance into Silicon Valley during the earliest days of the commercial internet. At a time when most people barely understood what the internet even was, Scott recognized massive opportunity emerging in the Bay Area.With almost no money, he couch surfed throughout San Francisco trying to break into tech startups. Eventually he ran out of cash entirely and found himself sleeping in his car outside Oracle headquarters during a rainstorm while deciding whether to give up or keep pushing forward.Then came the legendary pizza-resume strategy.Scott used his last few dollars to buy discounted leftover pizzas, stuffed his resume underneath the cheese, and delivered them to startup offices. The unconventional approach worked because it stood out in a world already crowded with generic resumes and predictable networking tactics.That creative gamble helped launch Scott into internet startups that later became major media brands including CBSsports.com and other high-growth digital companies during the dot-com era.The conversation then shifts toward artificial intelligence and why Scott believes AI mirrors the early internet revolution. Having entered AI years before mainstream adoption accelerated, Scott now works with organizations around the world helping them become AI fluent and avoid falling behind technologically.One of the most powerful themes throughout the interview is focus.Scott shares his “hammers and nails” analogy to explain why entrepreneurs fail when they spread themselves too thin.To chat about this one-on-one, grab a free consult at strategymeeting.com

A 1983 LA Times article about Karen Bass training in "terrorist tactics and guerrilla warfare" with communists in Cuba just resurfaced — five days before the LA mayoral primary. Jake Tapper tried to grill Spencer Pratt about old 9/11 conspiracy comments while CNN's own Van Jones signed the exact same truther petition, and Jane Fonda endorsed Bass from her gated 7-bathroom compound in Century City.

This week, Sara surprises Kirbie with the ultimate LA luxury: a VIP valet parking card for Westfield Century City — because nothing says we've made it like avoiding the Century City parking structure. Then, we dive into the rise of “zombie filler,” aka injectable volume treatments made from donated cadaver fat, and unpack why clinics are suddenly obsessed with it, who's getting it (from faces to BBLs), and the ethical and medical concerns experts are already raising. Could this be the future of aesthetics or is the beauty industry moving wayyyy too fast? Plus, we discuss Olivia Jade's new beauty brand O.Piccola, why a single bronzer-highlight stick might actually make sense for her brand, and whether consumers are ready to separate the founder from the scandal that made her famous.Watch our episodes!Shop our episodesInstagram: @glossangelspod | TikTok: @glossangelespodEmail: glossangelespodcast@gmail.com Hosted on Acast.

In times of profound geopolitical turbulence - wars, trade shocks, energy insecurity, and climate breakdown - something unexpected is happening: while autocratic leaders double down on fossil fuels and climate denial, cities are stepping into the breach to create a different story. One of hope, resilience, and innovation.Like wildflowers pushing through concrete, cities around the world are experimenting with new economic models that challenge the old orthodoxy of endless growth. They're turning away from Gross Domestic Product (GDP) as the sole measure of success and asking different questions: Are people housed? Are they thriving?

On this episode of The Founder's Sandbox, Brenda speaks with Alexa Steinberg – a corporate and transactional attorney for middle-market companies and entrepreneurs. Acting as outside general counsel, Alexa represents privately held companies in a wide range of general corporate and transactional matters, including entity formation, structuring, and commercial transactions. With a focus on mergers and acquisitions, she offers clients guidance on structuring deals and ensuring compliance with relevant laws and regulations. Brenda and Alexa discuss her journey from working at a small, all-female law firm to joining a full-service firm to better support her clients. Alexa shares how her parents—both deeply involved in business and community service—shaped her values around financial literacy, record-keeping, and the importance of building generational wealth. They speak about family-owned businesses and best practices in family governance, such as setting clear roles, regular meetings, and involving independent board members. Alexa also emphasizes the importance of building trust with clients and maintaining a purpose-driven, relational legal practice. Brenda and Alexa explore what "purpose-driven," "resilience," and "scalable" mean within the context of business and legal practice. You can find out more about Alexa at: https://www.greenbergglusker.com/alexa-steinberg/         episode transcript: 00:04 Hi, I'm pleased to announce something very special to me, a new subscription-based service through Next Act Advisors that allows members exclusive access to personal industry insights and bespoke 00:32 corporate governance knowledge.

Thank you. 01:18 Welcome back to the Founders Sandbox. I am Brenda McCabe, your host of this monthly podcast where I have guests that are either founders, professional service providers, corporate  board directors  that actually share a mission with me, which is bringing change to the world through great corporate governance, but building resilient, scalable and purpose-driven companies.  On a monthly basis,  my guests are going to tell their origin stories and kind of how I've met them. 01:48 through the work they do.  And I've recreated a fun sandbox environment in which we do storytelling. And ultimately we will touch upon resilience, purpose-driven  and  scalable or sustainable growth in the  businesses that they are  working in or owners of.  02:17 l I'm absolutely delighted to have as my guest today, Alexa Steinberg, Alexa is counsel  at Greenberg, Glasgow.  And before that, she was actually practicing in a smaller law firm and where her story today is going to kind of have some some 02:47 lessons learned on  why she chose to leave the firm and move into Greenberg, the Greenberg Lasker. But more importantly, you and I go back a couple years. are part of an informal group of women. We call ourselves Women and Wealth.  We meet periodically to really refer business to each other for those women business owners that 03:16 are seeking perhaps an exit in the next three to five years.  And through our skillset, some of us are CPAs, strategy advisors, yourself as counsel. A lot of these businesses are family owned. And so you and I and another, know, seven other ladies  get to meet each other over lunch and discuss these opportunities. And we're all very passionate about helping women business owners. Aren't we, 03:44 We are Brenda, thank you so much for having me on the Founder's Sandbox.  I am an avid listener, so I'm very excited that I get to be a guest. Thank you, thank you.  you know,  we've had many, conversations, obviously,  but I wanted for my listeners  to really dive into  what you do today, right? Which is really  purpose. 04:12 driven and it's preserving family wealth, right?  And I know that you actually come from a background where your father owned his business. So tell us  a bit, us down memory lane and that first story that you told me.  Well, you know, growing up, I watched both of my parents. My mother was a career woman.  My father, a financial planner. 04:38 running his  own book.  My mother,  a buyer and then in fashion and then into real estate.  I watched they were both very involved in the community. My mother sat on  the Studio City Council,  the Neighborhood Council. She was on many boards involved with the temple. My father as well  sat on many boards involved with the 05:07 Boys and Girls Club,  and  involved with the Jewish Federation. So I watched as my parents  really instilled the importance of being involved in  community, being involved in family, being involved  in the greater good and in purposeful and meaningful  organizations.  And I... 05:35 sort of learned a lot about that watching them both in their respective arenas being involved. And you know, they've, they've truly inspired me,  not only in my career path, but in  how I treat my clients  in the arenas that I've become involved in.  There's a specific story that I think I've shared with you, Brenda, about my father and how he sort of taught me 06:05 the value of wealth, the value of money, because as his career, that was what he did. He focused mainly on planning for retirement and financially setting yourself up and your family up to have generational wealth and what that looked like and how you could prepare for it when you were 10, 15, 20, 25 years old, preparing for family, preparing for children. 06:35 So when I turned 16, my father went into our QuickBooks. We had a family QuickBooks.  Oh, wow. That was before it was actually.  It was probably  a hard disk, right? Not even on the internet. Oh, yeah. It was like a hard disk. had a full set up, massive computers, the whole thing,  in our family office.  And he went into his QuickBooks. And he took. 07:03 what he spent on me in a year.  And he divided it by 12. And this  included insurance. Mind you, I just turned 16. So my car insurance, my car lease,  medical, entertainment,  my tennis lessons, all of these things that  were spent on me, what it cost  for me to function.  Children are expensive, you know. 07:32 I was very expensive because I will tell you that check was large  that he cut me every month.  And he laid out, these are the things that are monthly expenses for you that you need to pay with this money. And the rest you can use on entertainment,  gifts,  shopping, which I loved.  But I had to learn to balance my checkbook and balance 08:01 this amount of money, because I wasn't able to get any more until the next month.  And  that really taught me how that  money  was never something that was readily expendable to me. even if I went to Starbucks and I bought a drink with my father's credit card, he'd ask me for the receipt. He'd want to know where the receipt was, always. 08:28 I was very meticulous in his record keeping which I am now very much meticulous in my record keeping  and  I enforce with my clients and  make sure that record keeping is so important in your business as well.  You know and so when I when I graduated high school my father said to me okay the checks are done.  And you need to go get a job in college. 08:56 And what I will do is I will subsidize the paycheck that you bring home. So if you bring home $600, I will pay you 50 cents on the dollar for what you bring home, but only up to $300. So I could get a max of $300 every paycheck that he would subsidize. And then that was  how  I had money to live and to function. my parents,  I was lucky enough that my parents would pay for my college. 09:24 in my housing, in my dorms,  but  it was still really teaching me the value  of money.  And my father required that a certain portion of those funds get put away in savings and invested. And he would tell me how to do that.  And he would guide me.  because my father was a financial planner,  he would call me like a client and say, listen, 09:53 You're 70 % stocks, 30 % cash. I think you need to swap it. Let's talk about what that means. And of course, I'm like, you're my dad. Just do it. Why are we having this conversation? But it was so valuable because he wanted me to understand what he was doing and why he was doing it and how it really functioned. that I've also taken into how I guide and advise my clients. 10:22 I don't just do for them. understand, I want them to understand  how we're doing it, why we're doing it, what the alternatives  are and what it means if we do it this way or that way.  You know, a lot of my discussions with my clients are about strategy and about structure and  so they can make an informed decision.  You know, I think that that's extremely important, especially in a family business.  Working with your family is tough. So, 10:52 The way that you can make it that much easier is communication and understanding and knowledge. And I try to arm my clients with that. And that's something that my father really taught me.  my mother as well,  because my father managed our money and my mother  would bring it home and hand my father a check and be like, here, I don't know what you do with it, but do something with it. 11:21 She also  would, he would say, hold on a second. Like, I know you just sold a house and here's your commission check, but let me show you what we do with this and how we create generational wealth and how we invest it and what the best benefit for these funds are and how to use debt to our advantage.  Um, you know, and that's all of these things were such a value add that  I 11:51 I obtained understanding about and that I've now turned this value add to my clients  and how they run their business.  I'm not a financial advisor, I'm not a tax attorney. These are just really sort of  general  understandings and general guidance points for my clients to go out and  have knowledgeable conversations with the appropriate 12:21 guidance, appropriate people,  and the appropriate service providers that are going to help them accomplish those things. really,  this is very loaded, but I really like  the methods your father used. very, well, first of all, intentional  and bespoke. And that's really, and he did communicate to your mother, right? To instill also in her an understanding 12:52 of although she's bringing the check home because many, many women business owners today oftentimes do not own a majority of their companies. Right. And that is a shocking  statistic that I run into time and time again that women actually don't know how much  equity they have in their own business. Right. So just the informing and,  and you've translated that bespoke, you know, communicating 13:22 helping your clients understand,  pardon me, and  providing options as well as access to other professional service providers as  your own bespoke  offering to your clients. But it wasn't always like, yeah, go. That's sort of the benefit of the group that you and I met in and all of the networking opportunities that I've been involved in.  Of course,  networking is about building 13:51 um, your brand and your book and,  um, but a majority of it and the real value there  is  meeting and learning and understanding, um, and really coming to know people that can help your clients  where you can't,  um, and having  trustworthy referral sources to do that, because I'm not just going to tell my client, Oh, 14:18 this individual can help you with wealth management, call them without knowing how this person functions, without knowing  how they run their clientele,  how they do business. Those are really important things and to have trustworthy referral sources  is really important. And that's sort of what our group is  all about. That's right.  And it wasn't always like this. 14:46 Right, you graduated from law school  and started with a small, it was a, I think  a female-led law firm.  all female attorneys. Yeah, so what was your, this is right out of college, what were you doing  and what then informed your decision at a very tender age to leave?  So  right out of law school, 15:17 had worked my way through law school. I worked in family law for about five or six years. during the day, I was at a law firm. And in the evening, I took classes from 5 to 10 PM, four days a week for four years. took me four years to get through law school. And when I graduated, unfortunately, I wasn't afforded 15:47 All of the opportunities in law school  that most law students take advantage of, externships,  fellowships, things like that, because I was working my way through. I  had already been financially independent and I  wanted to stay that way. So I didn't want to quit my job  to go to school. I  wanted to be able to do it all. 16:15 So as a result, I really didn't have  the summer clerkships  that turn into job offers.  And I was a little lost because I had taken the bar exam and I was like, OK,  I'm not an attorney yet. But in three months, if I pass the bar exam, I could be.  Am I applying for law clerk positions? Am I applying for associate positions? Like, know, I was so lost.  And I went on Craigslist.  Oh my goodness. 16:44 And I found law firms that were hiring because I figured those people, you know, they're they're looking to hire somebody now, which is what I'm looking for. and hopefully those people, you know, will transition me into an associate role. If I pass the bar exam in a few months. And that was that was like my first sort of in. And I joined a very boutique law firm in West Hollywood. It was 17:13 By the time I left, we were three female attorneys. were  all female  for my entire tenure there. I was there for six and a half years.  And it was  in  late 2019,  early 2020 that I really decided I wanted more for my career and for my book of business. And I wanted to be able to  provide my clients  with a well-rounded 17:43 advice and guidance. I can't do it all, nor should I. I'm pretty sure my malpractice of insurance wouldn't like that. Not at all. But more and more, had clients that were asking me to help with litigation matters or employment matters. And those are arenas that I know just enough about to be dangerous. But I'm not going to run a full litigation. 18:13 I can't willfully and knowledgeably advise on employment matters.  You know, especially to  do justice by my client, do well by them.  I'd like to be able to  have somebody for them that they can speak to and trust and get the advice and counsel that they need.  And that really stemmed  my yearning to  branch out. 18:42 and go to a firm where I had all of those resources at my fingertips. I wanted more for my career, but my biggest drive was I wanted more for my clients.  I wanted really to be able to provide them with well-rounded, multidisciplinary  counsel.  And so I sought out  full-service law firms. 19:11 I found my home at Greenberg Gloucester, which  is a fantastic place to be.  I'm very happy there and everybody is so fantastic and  everybody is so good at what they do.  We've got employment and tax and  IP and litigation,  environmental, entertainment,  you name it.  And it's been such a benefit not only to my career, 19:41 to my clients, but I've learned  so much.  And is it true?  How would you characterize the typical clients without revealing, you know, confidential matters? Is it  also a firm that's  very oriented towards family owned businesses? Would you say that? Yeah, I would. You know, I'm  a counsel in the corporate and tax department. 20:08 And you we don't have a ton of institutional clients.  A lot of our clients are family owned businesses, mostly held entities,  you know, which I love on a daily basis. I am working with  two sisters that own a business together or a multi-generational company where, you know, senior is working with G2 and  G3  or 20:37 were actually this morning I was working on  assigning interests and reorganizing and restructuring a bunch of entities that own a bunch of real estate for clients.  And that's also  the kind of benefit that I get that I get to be pulled into  real estate matters with my corporate expertise to help a family office restructure their ownership. 21:04 You know, and I  love that stuff. We're extremely,  the way that Greenberg  provides advice and counsel  is on a very personal level. The way that  the firm  and myself, especially, we're a lifestyle firm.  You know, we understand that attorneys are people outside of 21:33 the walls of the office and that we all have lives.  And we, you know, I translate that to my clients. My clients have lives. My clients have other things going on than their business.  And especially when you deal with family offices and family businesses, there's a whole different dynamic  of  family interaction. Yes. You know, and, and I have now experienced that  not only with my clients  and sometimes I become 22:03 therapist in that regard, although I'm a very expensive therapist. I'm sure there people that are less per hour.  But  I'm experiencing it firsthand because my husband  has his own business with his brother  and I have  become  advice and counsel for them  as well. And so I'm  seeing it sort of from a different angle too, but I think that my clients truly appreciate 22:32 that when I talk to them, I talk to them as a person. It's not just as a business owner. It's not just as  I'm guiding you with this  legal advice.  It has to make sense.  And it has to  be actually applicable.  And sometimes what my advice and guidance would be  in sort of this like legal  box  is not the best. 23:00 for my client and how their business is operating.  And you've got to be  sort of fluid with that. And bespoke.  Yeah, so it's really beyond, it's not a transactional relationship. It is a trustworthy relationship based on the values of the family businesses that and their goals in preserving wealth  or continuing to generate family wealth. Yeah, absolutely. This is a great segue because you know, I also 23:29 passionate and have often guests that are sitting on corporate boards.  As counsel, have you observed any best practices and family governance structure? You talk about G1,  G2, G3, Have you observed any  best practices? We don't have to talk about bad practices, right? But any best practices that you would like to share here?  Yeah, you know,  I think that  I've observed that 23:59 Some of the most effective family governance structures prioritize clear communication,  well-defined roles,  professionalized decision-making.  I use this in a very loose  sense of the word, but you could establish a family constitution. Creating a board of advisors is always really important. 24:28 having independent members  in your board of advisors  is so incredibly valuable to have a knowledgeable, independent  person that can help through disputes. business disputes are one thing, but when you include a family dynamic in these disputes,  emotions can get high and heated. And so having  an independent third board 24:57 Third party board is extremely valuable. Somebody that can guide you, something that your family trusts. Those are some big things that I've seen as best practices. And I think that lastly, holding dedicated, regular meetings. 25:23 You'll talk about business, you know, at the dinner table or, you know, out and about you're at a kid, one of your niece's birthday parties and everyone's there and you're like, Hey, did you see that email from XYZ? We got to figure out how to handle that.  But  those are not the time and place and you're not going to have a productive conversation. And so you need to set aside and create boundaries between your family life and your business life  and set aside regular times. 25:53 weekly, bi-weekly, to have an hour conversation about what's going on, any disputes that need to be discussed, any decisions that need to be made.  And that's your time to solely be in your business mode.  Because having these conversation piece meals,  dinner on a Saturday night,  or  a family's birthday party, or  a holiday party, 26:22 It's not effective  for your business. And one of the biggest,  best practices  and the most, one of the most important goals  is to preserve your family relationships. Beautiful. You heard it here on the founder's sandbox to preserve family.  Absolutely.  Cause if you don't have family, do you have? That's right. 26:52 Family first. really important.  It's really important. And sometimes business can get in the middle of family relationships.  And it hurts to see that. It hurts to see  business  tear between  brothers,  tear between  father and son.  And I've seen those things in it.  There needs to be just a second to breathe. Yes. 27:21 and realize that there are bigger things than business  and that they need to be resolved, but they can only be resolved if you have a good relationship with your business partner slash your family.  They're your biggest support. 27:37 This has been immensely  actionable  in terms of  governance, the best practice you've seen in family offices. So thank you. Thank you for that. It's not often that I do have  a  lawyer  that works in this  arena.  Although family businesses just in the LA  ecosystem is 28:05 It's very predominant. very, very, you know, third, actually third and fourth generation now. So very relevant to your business and mine. Let's switch gears. You are, I believe, sitting on the board of directors or one of the committees of the Association of Corporate Growth. Yes. And tell us a bit what why what is the Association of Corporate Growth and what committees do you serve on? 28:35 And how do you further your business there? Thank you. The Association of Corporate Growth or ACG is a national organization  for professionals in the M &A sphere. So  you've got members that are  VCs, investment bankers,  M &A attorneys, wealth managers,  insurance specialists.  You sort of name it. Anybody that's 29:03 has some sort of involvement  in the purchase or sale of a business  or just surround sort of just general business governance that either prepare for an exit. You know,  those are the kind of people that are members of ACG.  And I got involved a few years ago.  And I think three years now, I've been sitting  on the Women's Committee,  which is a 29:31 Fantastic. We schedule and create women-focused programming within the confines of the ACG organization and really promote networking amongst women. More and more, I have had clients that have requested that they only work with women. 29:58 You know, and this sort of goes back to what I was talking about earlier about being able to provide  trustworthy referrals.  And I've met some incredible, incredible women in connection with ACJ. In fact, our group kind of came out of ACJ. This is how I met you, Brenda. And so  it's been a fantastic, fantastic  network to be a part of.  You know, I love planning the programming, our programming. 30:28 ranges everywhere from  talking about the state of the market  to  balancing family and career and what that looks like and  mental health. I think  I hate calling out a distinction that we are women in business  because I think a 30:57 A business person is a business person. I don't think it needs to be defined as such, but there is something to be said about the fact that  women have a different set of challenges in the workplace  than men do.  And a lot of those stem from  family life.  And that needs to be  balanced. And so there's a lot of programming  that the women's committee puts on that sort of 31:26 talks about that and  gears us in that direction  and gives us tools to be successful and to strive  in the face  of everything else that women just have to  deal with and take care of. That's for another episode here. Yes, very much so. Very much so, yes, as we all have balanced our careers and family priorities, right? 31:56 Let's switch gears. How do my  listeners contact you? How's the best way?  Well,  so I'm at again, I'm at Greenberg Gloucester. We're in Century City.  They can email me. It's  a Steinberg at gg firm.com.  And on our Greenberg Gloucester website, if you search people, I've got my whole bio and all of my contact information as well. Excellent. 32:25 Well, that will appear in the show notes. All right. So we're coming into the final  part of this podcast in which I actually  enjoy asking my guests  what the meaning is of certain terms that I actually practice with my clients. I'm working with purpose-driven companies, resilience. We work on resilience tactics  and  scalable business is sustainable. So I  always love the opportunity to hear 32:55 firsthand from my guess. What does purpose-driven mean to you, Purpose-driven means  a mission that goes beyond profit.  It taps into creating meaningful value for your customers,  for your employees,  for the community that  you operate in.  It's sort of about  building a company that 33:25 that stands for something.  And I'm very pleased to say that we have seen so many more companies  start out of a purpose-driven  goal.  There's a bunch of old companies and new companies. There's  a lot of companies that have this sort of one-for-one model. You buy one, we donate one. 33:52 There are socks companies, there are eyeglass companies, there are shoe companies, there are cleaning product companies  that sort of have  this  as their motto. And  then you see  additionally,  know, products and companies that are committed to the environment or sustainability and cleanup efforts. You know, that's really what  purpose-driven 34:21 means to me is that  these companies have a goal.  They want to accomplish something more than what they can show on their balance sheet. consumers of that product are helping them achieve that.  Excellent. Excellent. You've touched on even other aspects like  sustainable growth, right? Yeah. Right. What is resilience? You've been particularly resilient. 34:49 You having a father like your father,  building life skills early. would resilience,  what's the meaning to you? 35:00 Resilience is about  navigating challenges  with adaptability and with determination. It's about learning from your setbacks  instead of being defined by them, having them be a fire to your growth and having them  be the galvanization of your progress forward. 35:30 You know, and in business, it also can be about the ability to  pivot while staying aligned with your long-term goals, about the ability to,  you know, okay, there's a new regulatory,  new regulation that's gonna affect the way we operate. Okay, how are we gonna pivot to continue doing what we do,  but still can  stay in compliance?  You know,  that's really, 35:59 what it's all beyond your toes.  Excellent. And you're scalable. I'd like you to kind of share the meaning within the context of scaling the legal practice. What have you found to be  particularly  challenging or easy to do? Right. And scaling, right. Because it's a very bespoke practice. Is there any important, right? Scaling is absolutely important. Okay. 36:28 In my practice and in my business,  number one  goal  and  the biggest  galvanization point of scaling my practice  are my clients, my current clients. If you do a good job for them, they'll continue to come back. 36:59 and they'll continue to give you more business.  Creating a network. I watched my parents in their, both of their practices. All of our family friends  at this point have at one point or another been a client of my mother's or of my father's.  They've swapped clients,  referred to each other. And these individuals either started as friends and became clients. 37:29 or  became friends because they were clients.  And  that is the way that both of my parents have built their practice and their brands.  And that's how I want to do it too. It's a value add when,  attorneys are scary to begin with.  Nobody wants to talk to an attorney. It's expensive. Half the time you have no idea what they're talking about. It's language. 37:57 You know, but if you create this relationship of trust and of loyalty and friendship  and when you feel like your attorney  sees beyond just you as a dollar figure or you as a business,  it goes such a long way. And that's my main value add to my clients.  And in turn, they help me scale. 38:22 my business, clients continue to come back to me  and I'm able to continue to grow that because I can satisfy all of their needs with the network that I'm creating through places like ACG. You know, so that's, that's what I see is as scalable in my industry. It's extremely important.  And it goes to the heart of how I practice law and how, how I guide and advise my clients. Beautiful. 38:52 Thank you. heard it here on the Founder's Sandbox. Last question, Alexa.  Did you have fun in the sandbox today?  Oh, it was so fun.  Brenda, thank you so much for having me.

Check it out below: Michael Wiener (00:00:00) - You sell $20 million of real estate that has $10 million of equity. You need to purchase at least $20 million of real estate with at least $10 million of equity, because you also see, some people will say, hey, well, I purchased the $20 million of real estate. I got a $12 million loan, and I just cashed out $2 million. And yeah, no, you did. That's great. But. It's taxable boot.   Intro (00:00:27) - Welcome to the how to Scale commercial real estate show. Whether you are an active or passive investor, we'll teach you how to scale your real estate investing business into something big.   Sam Wilson (00:00:40) - Michael Winer, a partner at Greenberg in Los Angeles, focuses his practice on structuring real estate transactions in a tax efficient manner and providing his clients with creative solutions to complex tax issues. Michael, welcome to the show.   Michael Wiener (00:00:54) - Thank you very much for having me, Sam. I'm really excited to be here.   Sam Wilson (00:00:58) - Absolutely. The pleasure is mine. Michael. There are three questions I ask every guest who comes on the show in 90s or less.   Sam Wilson (00:01:04) - Can you tell me where did you start? Where are you now? And how did you get there? Well.   Michael Wiener (00:01:10) - About ten years ago, I had my own firm. I was, uh, or just starting my own firm, um, doing some 1031 work, I. Wound up, uh, seeing an ad on the internet. I don't even remember what I was searching for. For an attorney to join a tax boutique in Century City here in LA. So I responded to the ad. Turned out it was a 1031 exchange specialty, um, firm. And, you know, basically based on my practice and some of the clients I was doing work for, we knew a number of people in common. Um, so I wound up joining that firm. It was a four person firm. A few years later, that firm was acquired by a slightly larger firm, and then that firm was in turn acquired by a larger firm. Um, and throughout it, I have to say, I'm really grateful my, uh, my traditional client base stuck with me throughout all the, uh, throughout all the firm uprisings.   Michael Wiener (00:02:15) - Um, and then from the larger firm, which was one of the largest firms in the world, um, I transitioned my practice with, uh, one of my partners and colleagues who have been with me since the, uh, since the smaller firm over here to Greenberg Luster, which was a, um, which was a better fit. I'd worked alongside Greenberg Lustgarten deals, both co-counsel and adverse for many years a phenomenal firm and, uh, and been here for about four and a half years. And I love every day of it.   Sam Wilson (00:02:45) - That's cool. And it's 1031. What you still focus on primarily?   Michael Wiener (00:02:51) - Um. Uh, I generally wind up dealing with tax issues related to the real estate industry, and obviously 1031 is a big part of that. The last, you know, four ish years, really, since 2018, qualified opportunity zones have, um, have become a bigger part of that. We also being here in California, we have to deal with prop 13, California property tax, um, and transfer tax issues and then also deal with um partnership partner, excuse me, partnership tax issues related to structuring um, joint ventures and and real estate investments.   Michael Wiener (00:03:35) - Um, and that then extends its way out to sort of syndicated tenancies of common and, you know, different ways of investing in real estate and being able to take advantage of all of the wonderful tax benefits of doing so.   Sam Wilson (00:03:51) - That gets really complicated really fast. For those of us that want to just go out and buy stuff and own and run real estate projects. You're a great complement to our to our team because the rest of us don't want to think about, you know, probably the things that you think about day in and day out, you know, specializing in this. I can only imagine. No, no, two days are the same would be my guess.   Michael Wiener (00:04:14) - Oh, no, two days are the same at all. Um.   Sam Wilson (00:04:18) - It's crazy.   Michael Wiener (00:04:19) - Every day is a unique challenge, and every day is another opportunity to learn. So what are some things?   Sam Wilson (00:04:27) - Let's talk. Let's talk. 1031 because you've touched on several things, and I know any one of these topics, we could probably burn the entire podcast, you know, going down that rabbit trail.   Sam Wilson (00:04:37) - But let's let's stay on 1031, because I would imagine that for the bulk of our listeners, that's probably something that is applicable. What what are some common challenges and what are some common misconceptions, maybe that you run into when executing a 1031?   Michael Wiener (00:04:55) - Well, the first thing that a lot of people forget about or just don't remember is that in addition to spending all of the money that you get from the sale of your relinquished property, you also have to replace your debt.   Sam Wilson (00:05:13) - And.   Michael Wiener (00:05:14) - You know, you see people from time to time who say, oh yeah, no, we completed our exchange. We sold a property for, you know, $20 million with $10 million of debt, about a $10 million, uh, property. This is very, let me say, very simplifying the facts. Fact pattern. Um. We bought a property with, um, with the $10 million. And, you know, we got this great deal. We only have to put $2 million, $3 million of debt on it.   Michael Wiener (00:05:42) - And we, you know, you know, huzzah! We, uh, we completed our exchange, and it's well known. Yeah. I mean, yes, you did complete an exchange, but you're going to have to. And it's very important to remember that that gets, um, especially tricky in a, uh, uh, tenancy and common context where you have multiple exchanges. Um, investing people, completing multiple exchanges, investing in the same property. And they have to, um, and they have to, you know, satisfy their debt replacement requirements, especially if they had different leverage ratios on their, um, on their up leg. And can wind up with a situation where you may need to invest some fresh cash in order to to equalize it.   Sam Wilson (00:06:34) - So let me let me see if if I can summarize what you said, you replace the one of the one of the things that's often overlooked is that you replace the debt and the equity. So if it's a $20 million property that you originally purchased and that was debt and equity, again, let's call it 10 million in debt and 10 million in equity.   Sam Wilson (00:06:53) - And then you sell that, you harvest, let's call it it was a breakeven deal. You harvest that 10 million in equity. You can't go out and buy a $12 million property with 10 million in equity and 2 million in debt. Exactly. You got to replace that debt.   Michael Wiener (00:07:07) - Well, you can you don't have to replace the debt per se, meaning you can add fresh cash. You have to go basically equal or up in value and equal or up in equity. Right. So, you know, if you you could put in $2 million of your own money, you know, not exchange cash or money that you raised from an investor and then just get an $8 million loan, and that's fine. But too many people overlook that, overlook that aspect of it.   Sam Wilson (00:07:38) - And that that is not an aspect of that. I even understood until right now. So not just to many people, but myself as well. Uh, so yeah, that, that that's really it has to be equal or greater.   Sam Wilson (00:07:49) - Price point.   Intro (00:07:50) - Period. Exactly.   Sam Wilson (00:07:51) - Then what you previously.   Michael Wiener (00:07:53) - Just if you sell, you know, using our fact pattern, if you sell $20 million of real estate that has $10 million of equity, you need to purchase at least $20 million of real estate with at least $10 million of equity. Because you also see, some people will say, hey, well, I purchased the $20 million of real estate. I got a $12 million loan, and I just cashed out $2 million. And yeah, no, you did. That's great. But. It's taxable boot.   Sam Wilson (00:08:25) - Right. And you call it boot b o o t.   Michael Wiener (00:08:28) - B o o t is what the term is generally called.   Sam Wilson (00:08:32) - Taxable boot. There's a new uh there's a new one. I'm going to put that in my newsletter.   Michael Wiener (00:08:37) - That's yeah called um generally defined as sort of money or other non like kind of property that you receive in a 1031 exchange.   Sam Wilson (00:08:48) - Right. And so you can do it, it's just you just have to know that whatever portion remains you're just going to get taxed on.   Michael Wiener (00:08:54) - Exactly.   Sam Wilson (00:08:55) - Right. Okay. And and maybe that's an acceptable, uh, you know, solution for some. You presented another wrinkle there that maybe um, just to again to, to hash it out again, you were talking about maybe, you know, let's use that $20 million example again. We'll see if I can if I can craft this correctly. But I sold that I owned it by myself. And then you sold another $20 million property. And together we were going to go in and buy a $40 million property. Right. But maybe your debt to equity ratio was different than mine was. And somehow you've got to get we can go in as tenants in common buying this now new $40 million property together both 1031 and into a bigger deal. But now we've got to figure out some sort of really complicated math as to how it's all got to work out.   Michael Wiener (00:09:42) - Well, like, you know, let's say, you know, we're going to go in and buy a, you know, a $40 million property with 20 million of debt.   Michael Wiener (00:09:50) - Um, and we're 50, 50 tenants in common. Right. But my. You know, leverage on my download property was, let's say it was very it was more highly leveraged. Let's say it was, you know, $15 million to just to take sort of an extreme example. Okay. When I go in. Um, to that, you know, $20 million property I have to figure out. Well, am I going to put in more cash? Um, if I do, I can put in cash to equalize it. Right. Uh, um, and, you know, that would be fine, but that requires me to come up with $5 million, you know, outside of, uh, you know, outside of the exchange, and, you know, maybe I can go shake the money tree or something, but, uh, you know, that's easier said than done.   Sam Wilson (00:10:42) - Right. And so you help clients when they get into these situations where especially I mean, 1 or 2 is complicated, but I imagine 810 on a much even bigger property than that.   Sam Wilson (00:10:51) - Yeah, it becomes a bit of a, uh, yeah, a bit of a process. You have some.   Michael Wiener (00:10:55) - Uh, pretty extensive Excel schedules, let's put it that way.   Sam Wilson (00:11:01) - Right?   Sam Wilson (00:11:01) - I bet you do. I bet you do. And when and when people get into these situations, like, do you find that they come to you at the 11th hour going, oh, crud, we didn't think through this and now we need help. Is that pretty common that happens.   Michael Wiener (00:11:16) - That's happened. Um, the you know, the good, the good clients, the, uh, the the clients who I've worked with for a long time, generally by now know to, uh, to get me involved early. But it is, let's just say, not uncommon for, uh, you know, people to come at the 11th hour. And, you know, we had one, you know, just. A year ago that I can think of where, you know, literally a week before closing, we had to restructure significantly the, uh, transaction.   Michael Wiener (00:11:52) - Um, the client scheduled it or structured it without tax advice. Um. With three tenants and or they had tax advice but not 1031 advice with three tenants in common. And you know, one was just a fresh cash tenant in common not exchanging one one with one or I guess the other two were exchanging and. Basically I, you know, took a look at it and within three minutes I said, oh, you're going to have, you know, $7 million of boot of taxable boot based off of not replacing your debt. And what we had to do was we wound up having to combine the fresh cash non exchange tenant and tenant in common, make that part of the exchanging tenant in common and that using those those numbers allowed it to uh allowed it to work and to get them to satisfy all the requirements. But you're talking about org charts already haven't been given to, um, to a lender. You're talking about documents already having been drafted and signed and having to go back to people and saying, well, you know, you were going to invest because for the people who are investing in the what I'm going to call fresh cash tenant and common.   Michael Wiener (00:13:15) - There are, you know, a set of expectations with regards to your depreciation and outside basis in your joint venture. And these are technical terms I know, but uh, but um, there are certain let's call it tax expectations that. You would expect to have when you are investing in, um, a non exchanging entity just in a straight real estate deal, in a straight real estate syndication. And those things change a bit when you're, uh, when you're coming into an entity, when you're coming into an existing partnership that is competing with 1031 exchange, there are different issues that you need to be mindful of. And and they can be worked out. But, you know, people need to be aware of them. And people need and, um, documents need to, you know, need to address them and reflect them. And, um, you know, doing all of that a week before closing is, you know, lots of fun. Uh.   Sam Wilson (00:14:20) - So is that what they call it?   Michael Wiener (00:14:22) - I would, um, I would strongly encourage people to, uh, to if you're doing a 1031 exchange, consult your tax advisors early.   Sam Wilson (00:14:34) - Consult them early. Absolutely.   Michael Wiener (00:14:35) - And especially early and early and often I would say. Right.   Sam Wilson (00:14:40) - And I would think, you know, on a single property, single investor, it's pretty it's pretty cookie cutter.   Michael Wiener (00:14:47) - Well, yeah, when.   Sam Wilson (00:14:48) - You get into stuff like this, the complication factor just rises, uh, you know, dramatically. So that's, that's really, really interesting. And how, how do you feel like when you're going back and dealing with legal? Because I mean, at this point, I imagine in this particular scenario, talking about like you're getting legal on the phone, you're getting everybody on the phone to go back and start redrafting all of this paperwork and making appropriate changes. How how is that interaction with, I guess, on the on the legal side of things like, is that a complicated or is that or is that a sticking point for you guys in your business, where sometimes the legal side doesn't understand what you guys understand on the tax side? Or how does that, uh, how does that work out for you?   Michael Wiener (00:15:29) - I mean, and that's an important, uh, an important point is that the clients need to have for these types of more, you know, sophisticated deals.   Michael Wiener (00:15:39) - You need to have a sophisticated team all around. And that means, you know, both tax and legal. So, so that when, you know, we go and we tell the legal team, well, this is what needs to be in the operating agreement. Um, and we get it back for review. That's actually in the operating agreement. They understand what we mean. They understand what concepts we're talking about, and they know how to draft those provisions. Um, and, you know, if need be, then I will go in and, you know, draft those provisions or correct them as necessary. Um, you know, as, as tax attorneys, we still do a lot of drafting.   Sam Wilson (00:16:21) - I bet you do. That's really cool. I love to hear the nuanced layers to things that are, I think, generally seen as pretty cut and dry, such as the 1031. It's generally like, oh, okay, well, we 1031, we bought one or we sold one, and then we bought another one and then we moved on down the line.   Sam Wilson (00:16:36) - But there's always, always another layer to, uh, to what it is we're working on. And it sounds like you, you go many layers deeper than what many of us oftentimes see. So anything else on the 1031 front, we should really highlight here that, uh, are things that either people get wrong, should be preparing for earlier, or are misconceptions anything else you want to hit on that front?   Michael Wiener (00:16:59) - Well, yeah. I mean, I think when people hold real estate through a legal entity, through an LLC, through a through a partnership, and if worse, through a corporation. Um, I'll get to that in a second. Uh, you need to people need to understand that it is that legal entity. It is the, you know, if you have a, um, so just by way of background, if you have a, a multi-member limited liability company, it is by default treated as a partnership for tax purposes. For tax purposes, if you have a single member LLC, it is by default treated as, um, treated as a disregarded entity for income tax purposes.   Michael Wiener (00:17:42) - In either case, you can elect to have that entity treated as a corporation for income tax purposes. That's very rare in the real estate, uh, industry. Um, but occasionally you see it. Um, and but the important thing is that it's that entity that is doing the exchange. So you have a concept called the same taxpayer principle, which I know, um, has been discussed on your show before. Uh. Which says that the. The legal, the tax entity, the entity for tax purposes. The taxpayer that sold the download property needs to acquire the uploaded property. And where that becomes tricky is where you have partners who want to go their separate ways. You know, they had a good run on the last deal, but now they say, well. We, um. We want to. We don't want to be together on the next deal. So to take, you know, the exact one or riff off of the example we were using. You know, you and I are 50, 50 members of an LLC that is taxed as a partnership.   Michael Wiener (00:18:59) - And, uh, we had a really good run, and we, you know, our our property did very well. And now we're going to sell it and say, okay, well what are we going to buy next? And, you know, I say, well, I want to go into industrial. You say, no, I want to go into multifamily or for any or, you know, occasionally you have people that just don't like each other. So I don't think that would happen with us. But, uh, um, uh, you know, for various reasons, there are any one of a number of reasons why, when they're selling the property, that people don't want to be committed to investing in the next property together and structuring those types of exchanges is very complicated. And it can be done. It can be done. There are several different structures and several different alternatives. Um, I can get into them if you'd like, but, uh, somewhat technical. Um. But that also requires consulting your tax advisors early and often.   Sam Wilson (00:20:03) - Right? No, I can only. And maybe even isn't for reasons. You know, it's not like the partnership fell apart. Maybe you, Michael, just don't want to. You don't like the property that we're 1030 running into or.   Michael Wiener (00:20:14) - Yeah, I mean. Exactly.   Sam Wilson (00:20:15) - You want to do something else, like. Well, you know that that was fun. We had a great run, but I really don't want to move on with the next ones. And now we got to figure out a way to, uh, for, say, or in.   Michael Wiener (00:20:24) - Some instances or in some instances, you know, let's say I had inherited my partnership interest in our thing and our LLC. And I say, well, because I inherited it, I have a stepped up tax basis. I'm not going to pay any tax on a sale. Right. I want to sell for cash. Right. Um hmm.   Sam Wilson (00:20:44) - Yeah. And that opportunity to get that stepped up cash out basis isn't going to happen once you 1031 to the next property.   Michael Wiener (00:20:52) - Exactly.   Sam Wilson (00:20:53) - It's got to happen now, right? That's interesting. I hadn't thought about that.   Michael Wiener (00:20:59) - I mean, so there are, you know, there are these situations which we deal with every day and there are about, you know, 20,000 different variations of these, uh, um, that we deal with every day. And, uh, and, um, you know, it's very, you know, it's very challenging. It requires a lot of cooperation. It's sort of like a, uh, you know, a three legged race, probably the ultimate three legged race you need to get, you know, you feel almost like a, uh, like a symphony, like conductor. You're like, okay, now I know you're doing this, now you're doing that. I know you're moving gear. Everybody needs to like, you know, move in concert. The documents. Um, and there are a lot of documents on these deals need to all be, you know, consistent. And then when it comes to filing the tax returns, tax returns need to be filed in a, uh, way.   Sam Wilson (00:22:00) - I didn't even think about that. So there's. I'll give you an example. I was I was a passive investor in a. This is probably more relevant to our listeners in a syndication. I was a passive investor in a syndication, and the deal went full cycle in like, I don't know, 12, 14 months. I mean, it was it was great. Everybody doubled their money, loads of fun. And so they said, hey, you know what? We should we should 1031 this entire syndication into the next deal. Except there were some of us that were like, ah, you know, I don't need to I don't like the Nick. And I in my case, I was one of those people said, I don't want to like the next deal, and I don't want a 1031. And I was an investor through a retirement account into that syndication. So I really don't care if I. 1031 it's it's a zero tactical advantage or tax advantage to me. And so that was really interesting.   Sam Wilson (00:22:50) - And again, I got to sit in the sidelines and kind of just watch it. You know, I just said, no, I don't want a 1031. And then of course, you know, I don't know the volumes of, of documents and paperwork and.   Michael Wiener (00:23:00) - No, but you know, what winds up, you know, what winds up happening as well there there are a few practical, uh, you know, points there. Most indications the syndicator is not going to give you the option. Right.   Sam Wilson (00:23:15) - They're going to say, you know, we are.   Michael Wiener (00:23:16) - Going to, uh, you know, we are going to. 1031 if it's something that you think you may want to do or may want to have the right to. It's important to start talking about that early, early, early, early in the process. Um, uh, because then you can negotiate things into your joint venture agreement. That will allow that. And the challenge, um, is that, you know, once the money, once the cash from the sale goes into the 1031 exchange accommodation account, and, you know, to some extent even before then, it's really in a lockbox.   Michael Wiener (00:23:59) - You can't use it to just, you know. I remember a one time appliance said, oh, and if we need more money for that, we'll just pull money out of the accommodate our accountant. I said, oh no, you won't.   Sam Wilson (00:24:11) - Um.   Michael Wiener (00:24:12) - Uh, first, most any accommodating that's, you know, really worth it won't let you. Right. Um. And even if they would. As your tax advisor, I wouldn't let you. Right.   Sam Wilson (00:24:27) - Right. No.   Sam Wilson (00:24:27) - Because then you negate all of the potential savings of even doing the 1031.   Michael Wiener (00:24:33) - You would blow your 1031 exchange. So you have to come up with a way. And there are ways of, um. You know, generating that cash. Sometimes it's they find another person to come and buy you out, and that person is going to take your place in the partnership. Uh, sometimes there is a, uh, a, um, a strategy that's used where the exchange of commentator will issue in a, in installment note, a promissory note to the partnership that is doing the, uh, the 1031 exchange.   Michael Wiener (00:25:10) - And the partnership can distribute that out to, um, to the investor that is being redeemed. If you're able to and you're able to do this on time, namely, before you really get into negotiating a purchase agreement, you can create a tenancy and common structure where the people who don't want to do their 1031 exchange get redeemed from the partnership in exchange for tenancy and common interest in the property. And they then sell the property, um, you know, in a taxable sale and, uh, and the, um, the people that are doing the exchange continue to just exchange.   Sam Wilson (00:25:47) - And I'm pretty sure that was what happened. It's been a few years, so I don't remember the specifics of it, but I'm pretty sure I do remember seeing something about ticks in there and some other things. And. It all worked out really well. Uh, but it was it was certainly interesting to see from the sidelines. We got about 60s left here. Michael. And I did want to get your thoughts on this real estate held in a corporation.   Sam Wilson (00:26:06) - You kind of gave a an indication that that was bad. Uh, break that one down for me if you can.   Michael Wiener (00:26:13) - Well, so first, there are just obviously two types of corporations for tax purposes. There's a C corporation and an S corporation. A C corporation is taxed as a separate person. So it pays a tax. And then when it distributes money, the investors or shareholders pay tax on what's called a dividend or a distribution. Um, an s corporation, the uh, the, the tax flows through to the shareholder. So you might say, well, how is an s corporation different than a tax partnership. That's also a flow through entity. And there are two primary differences. And that are important when it comes to real estate. The first is that. In, uh, in a tax partnership, let's say you and I put in $1 million into an LLC, and the LLC borrows, you know, $8 million, and we buy a $10 million property. We have a $10 million between us.   Michael Wiener (00:27:18) - Taxable basis each, a $5 million taxable basis. And we can take depreciation deductions on that for 5 million, including our share of the debt. If we were shareholders in an S corporation, we would not get basis for that share of the debt. So we would not be able to get deductions passed through to us on that 4 million, only on our 1 million. The second problem with corporations is that when you distribute appreciated property out of a corporation, it's treated as a taxable sale by that corporation. So these types of structures I'm talking about where people want to do different exchanges and create tenancy in common structures, or do or do anything that's really not possible with real estate held in a corporation. Because when you distribute that real estate out of the corporation, it's treated as though the corporation had a taxable sale of that real estate.   Sam Wilson (00:28:18) - That is interesting. I wish we had more time to dig into that. I've got lots of questions on that front. Michael, it has been a pleasure having you on the show today.   Sam Wilson (00:28:25) - If our listeners want to get in touch with you or learn more about you, what is the best way to do that?   Michael Wiener (00:28:29) - Go to Greenberg, glasgow.com. Um, you can email me at M Weiner. Weiner at gofundme.com or um, you can find my phone number on the website. I apologize, I don't remember what it is off the top of my head.   Sam Wilson (00:28:48) - No problem at all. We'll make sure we include all of that there in the show. Notes. Michael, thank you again for coming on today. I do appreciate it.   Sam Wilson (00:28:54) - Absolutely.

There's gotta be a better word for this... This week Nando, DJ, and Diggins go to visit the original depression filled hellscape, the Century City mall, and watch two movies about fashionable idiots who may have ruined the world, Oppenheimer and Barbie. They nitpick the bombs, the songs, and of course the portmanteaus.
