In this master's class episode of the Smart Real Estate Coach Podcast, I sit down with Lon Welsh for a timely, data-backed conversation on what is really happening in today's housing market and how smart investors should respond. Lon brings over 20 years of commercial real estate acquisition and development experience, and as the founder of Ironton Capital and CEO of Your Castle Real Estate, he has his finger on both the residential and investment side of the market in a serious way.     We unpack consumer confidence, mortgage rates, recession fears, rental demand, student loan delinquencies, buyer psychology, and what those factors mean for both active and passive investors. Lon explains why the media is missing some of the biggest drivers in today's market, why renters may stay renters longer, why rent-to-own operators could be in a position of strength, and why 2025 and 2026 may look a lot more attractive in hindsight than they feel in the moment.    If you want a clearer read on market timing, negotiation leverage, and where opportunity is building right now, this is one of those episodes you'll want to listen to twice.   Key Talking Points of the Episode   00:00 Introduction 01:55 Real Estate Market Update: Current trends and consumer sentiment 02:40 Why buyers and sellers feel frozen  04:12 Understanding mortgage rates and buyer opportunities 05:15 Should we expect a recession this year? 06:34 Challenges and trends for renters and landlords in today's market 07:09 Student loan delinquencies are a major hidden headwind 08:48 Why older renters want houses, not apartments 11:44 The softest residential markets in the country right now 12:35 Regional market comparison: Midwest/Northeast vs. Southwest/Southeast 14:20 Analyzing historical real estate downturns 16:48 Comparing previous market corrections to the current market 18:24 Home equity stability vs. the 2008 financial crisis 20:43 Passive investing and Lon Welsh's Passive Investing Book 22:21 Long-term outlook and understanding the importance of timing 23:01 Free Smart Real Estate Coach Resources 24:24 The 3 Paydays Live Event   Quotables   "Consumer confidence is probably actually the bigger thing.

In 2021, a breakthrough in sanitation technology – developed under the Gates Foundation's “Reinvent the Toilet” challenge – stood ready for commercialization. The Single User Reinvented Toilet (SURT) offered an off-grid, self-contained system capable of processing waste, generating water, and reducing environmental impact. Turning this technical success into a viable product, however, meant confronting intertwined challenges around behavior change, infrastructure compatibility, financing models, and stakeholder incentives. Harvard Business School Assistant Professor Maria Roche and SURT engineer Dr. Shannon Yee join Brian Kenny to discuss the case “Toilets for the Underserved: The SURT Commercialization Challenge” and the central question of how to launch and then scale a technology particularly important for underserved markets, but not a lucrative short term investment opportunity.

The AgNet News Hour featured a detailed conversation with Kings River Packing Vice President of Sales Jesse Silva, offering insight into California's citrus industry as growers navigate weather variability, market pressures, and evolving consumer demands. Silva said the citrus sector is entering the spring and summer season in a solid position overall, even after facing a warmer-than-normal winter that created some production challenges. “We're excited about where we're at right now and our position in the crop,” Silva said. “We just want to finish strong.” One of the key challenges this season has been weather. Warmer conditions during the winter months allowed fruit to continue growing, resulting in larger sizing that can complicate packing and marketing. “With the warmer weather, the fruit is more pliable,” Silva explained. “We've been working hard to manage quality in the field because that's where it all starts.” Despite those challenges, growers are optimistic about late-season citrus, including Valencias, lemons, and grapefruit. Spring rain events are expected to help improve fruit size and support tree health, while also slowing maturity to maintain quality deeper into the season. The conversation also highlighted the continued dominance of mandarins in the marketplace. Seedless varieties remain in high demand, driving growers to invest heavily in solutions like netting to prevent cross-pollination. “It's a big commitment… but that's what we need to do to achieve the right characteristics that consumers demand,” Silva said. Beyond production, Silva pointed to broader industry pressures, including rising input costs and supply chain challenges. Packaging, fuel, and labor all continue to impact profitability, often without corresponding increases in retail pricing. “Those costs are hard to capture,” he said. “Somebody has to absorb them.” At the same time, California citrus continues to benefit from strong domestic demand and a reputation for high-quality fruit. Compared to other regions like Florida, which primarily supplies juice markets, California growers focus on premium fresh fruit that appeals to consumers visually and in taste. “People buy with their eyes,” Silva noted, emphasizing the importance of appearance in retail sales. Looking ahead, Silva said the industry will continue to adapt through innovation, improved farming practices, and new technology. From precision pest management to soil monitoring, growers are finding ways to improve efficiency while maintaining sustainability. “Everything we do… we're trying to be good stewards of the land,” he said. Despite ongoing challenges, Silva remains confident in the long-term outlook for California citrus, driven by strong demand, family farming traditions, and continued investment in quality and innovation.

Do your one-on-one meetings feel awkward, inconsistent, or like a waste of time? In this episode of SoTellUs Time, Trevor and Troy Howard break down how to run better one-on-one meetings with your team so they actually improve communication, accountability, performance, and employee growth. If your meetings usually turn into shallow check-ins, uncomfortable conversations, or basic status updates, this episode will show you a simple structure that makes every one-on-one more productive and valuable. Great leaders know that one-on-one meetings are not just another task on the calendar. They are one of the most powerful tools for improving employee retention, team morale, leadership communication, workplace culture, accountability, and professional development. When employees feel heard, supported, and clear on expectations, they perform better, trust leadership more, and are more likely to stay engaged long term. In this episode, we talk about why one-on-one meetings matter more than most leaders realize, especially in businesses where trust, communication, customer experience, and consistency matter every day. Whether you lead a home service company, childcare center, sales team, office staff, field team, or growing small business, effective one-on-ones can help you reduce surprises, prevent burnout, improve execution, and build a stronger culture. We also break down the biggest mistakes leaders make in one-on-ones. Too many managers only meet when there is a problem, which makes the meeting feel negative from the start. Others turn the conversation into a status report instead of a development conversation. Some leaders dominate the conversation instead of listening, while others constantly cancel or reschedule, sending the message that the meeting is not important. These small habits quietly damage trust and make leadership less effective. That is why we share a simple 5-part structure for better one-on-one meetings that you can start using immediately: Personal Check-In – start human, not transactional Wins and Progress – reinforce what is working Challenges and Obstacles – coach through what is getting in the way Accountability and Priorities – get clear on the most important next steps Growth and Feedback – help team members improve and level up over time This structure helps leaders ask better questions, listen more effectively, create clarity, and make one-on-ones a place where trust and growth actually happen. Instead of just reviewing tasks, you will learn how to create a rhythm that improves performance without micromanaging. You will also learn how to use these meetings to strengthen field accountability, improve customer experience, celebrate wins like positive reviews or completed jobs, and help employees stay aligned with business goals. If you are trying to become a stronger leader, build a healthier team culture, improve employee performance, and create better communication with your staff, this episode is for you. In this episode, we cover: How to run better one-on-one meetings Why one-on-ones matter for leadership and culture Common one-on-one meeting mistakes A simple structure for productive employee meetings How to improve accountability without micromanaging How to help employees grow through better conversations How to build trust and retention with consistent leadership Better management habits for small business owners and team leaders Timestamps: 0:00 – Introduction and hook 1:30 – Why one-on-one meetings matter more than you think 3:30 – The biggest mistakes leaders make 4:30 – A simple 5-part structure for better one-on-ones 12:00 – Pro tips to make one-on-ones actually work 13:30 – Real-world impact of great one-on-one meetings 14:30 – Closing challenge and call to action If you enjoy conversations about leadership, business growth, customer experience, team accountability, marketing, and building better systems, subscribe to SoTellUs Time for more episodes designed to help you grow your business and lead at a higher level.

Our guests are Suzanne Christensen and Trisha Sqrow. As members of the RIMS Strategic and Enterprise Risk Management Council, they co-authored the new RIMS Executive Report, "Board Risk Reporting: How to Deliver Insights that Matter." [2:24] Co-authored by Joe Pugh of the AARP, a RIMS Strategic and Enterprise Risk Management Council member, the report provides practical insights and guidance to risk practitioners who report to their organization's board of directors or overarching governance committees. [2:38] The report provides guidance on aligning this reporting with the board's role and expectations, the steps that should be taken to sustain the alignment, and how to ensure reporting provides the board with the appropriate level of detail. [2:52] The link to the report is available in this episode's show notes. You can also visit the Risk Knowledge section of RIMS.org. If you like what you read and you like what you hear today, be sure to hear Patricia and Joe at RISKWORLD on May 6th at 11:30 a.m. in Room 119-AB. [3:11] They will extend the dialog with the session "From Risk Aware to Risk Savvy: Elevating Board-Level Risk Reporting and Engagement." It will undoubtedly be a fantastic session! [3:21] Let's talk about board reporting right now! [3:23] Interview! Suzanne Christensen and Trisha Sqrow, welcome back to RIMScast! [3:31] Suzanne Christensen and Trisha Sqrow have been carrying the torch for the Strategic and Enterprise Risk Management Council at RIMS for years. Now, they are rejoining us on RIMScast. It's a delight to welcome them both back. [3:57] The new RIMS Executive Report, "Board Risk Reporting: How to Deliver Insights that Matter," was co-authored by Suzanne Christensen and Trisha Sqrow, with Joe Pugh, who is also on the Strategic and Enterprise Risk Management Council. [4:15] This paper is available for a limited time exclusively to RIMS members. It will then be open to the public. There's a lot of great information in it, and it gets right to the point. [4:40] Research shows that while many risk professionals believe their reporting supports board decision-making, most boards are still asking for more information and deeper analysis. [4:47] Trisha says, boards are becoming more interested in understanding the risk profile of the organization, what's being done, and how leadership is managing risk, because we are in a complex time. There are so many risks that are not internal. [5:33] The board is asking: How do we look at this, how can we manage what we can, and prepare for and respond to those things that we can't manage, but that could come and hit us? [5:47] Boards are more interested. They have regulatory concerns and requirements, potential liability, and things of that nature. [6:07] Suzanne agrees with Trisha about the complexity in our post-COVID world with the interconnectedness of risks and the unexpected. Regarding the pace of change, Suzanne says hang onto your seats right now, particularly with AI! [6:30] Boards serve a lot of constituents and stakeholders, and they're feeling pressure. They're looking for more insightful analysis. The report gets into how to figure out what is insightful to a board. Justin notes that each board will have a different definition of insightful. [6:58] One board can change over time as different board members bring different dynamics and expectations to the board. The paper has a point about keeping pace with the board. [7:18] The paper makes the point that effective board reporting is not about what risk teams want to say but about what boards need to hear. [7:43] Suzanne breaks down the difference between the need that the board knows and understands, and articulates, and the things they should also know, to be good board members. That takes exploration. There are things the board might not know to ask. [8:10] Risk professionals have knowledge and context. They need to lean in and say, "You're asking for this, and that's super important, but in addition, here are some other things to be aware of." You need to start with a mutual understanding. There's a process to go through. [8:31] Trisha says the risk practitioner has the largest view of the risk profile of the organization. The board is thinking more of strategic goals and objectives, but they do want to know about the risk. Board risk reporting is a matter of working to connect strategy with risk management. [9:07] The risk practitioner can develop a culture of discussion and openness to discuss risks, mitigations, and possible blind spots. [9:26] Suzanne says one of the primary roles of the board is to make sure the firm has the right strategy and they're executing it appropriately. The biggest risk to the board is becoming irrelevant to constituents and clients. Not all key risks to the organization are equal to the board. [9:59] The board spends more time on the strategic risks. When reporting, you can't forget the operating risks. You can summarize them as "Here are some things to look at that we've got covered. So, let's spend more time over here." [10:46] If you don't first build alignment with executive management before engaging with the board, Suzanne says you'll end up with a modern-day Babylon. You won't end up with support from the key risk owners on the strategic side. The owners of the risk are the decision-makers. [11:02] The decision-makers are management and executive management. It has to be their story, and they have to buy in. Risk practitioners are the facilitators to create that alignment so those conversations can be robust, open, and transparent. [11:44] Trisha says the executive leadership team (ELT) is the liaison and connection to the board. Most risk practitioners may not be in all of the board meetings or interacting with the board regularly. The executive leaders probably are. [12:05] The ELT can bridge the gap. They have the relationships and know the personalities of the board members. They understand how the board likes to receive information and can help the risk practitioner develop reports in that way. They can open the line of communication more. [12:28] Trisha says that in her previous work for DFW Airport and others, they did this through the structure of the Enterprise Risk Management program, having a risk council report periodically to the ELT, so they have the information and can go forth with it. [13:17] Suzanne says the best practice is to spend some prep time to get some baseline knowledge and level-setting across, so when you go into those meetings, the conversations will be richer. You're not educating. You're getting right to what you want to focus on in your report. [13:58] There are different methods for doing that, depending on the organization, with its aptitude and appetite. You can do it in a pre-conversation setting, starting with the ELT, so that they're part of that conversation, helping to drive it. That is ideal. [14:21] A Quick Break! RISKWORLD 2026 will be held from May 3rd through the 6th in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. RISKWORLD attracts more than 10,000 risk professionals from across the globe. It's time to Connect, Cultivate, and Collaborate with them. [14:41] Public registration is open, and booth sales are still available.

Visit RIMSWesternRegional.com and the link in this episode's show notes for more information. [15:42] Let's Return to Our Interview with Suzanne Christensen and Trisha Sqrow! [16:10] Suzanne says you want to exude confidence when you initiate a risk dialogue with executive leaders and the board, but you don't want to look so buttoned-up that when something does go bump, they look at you and say they thought you had that covered. [16:42] Trisha says it's very important to build those relationships as you can, so you have direct knowledge of the primary stakeholders you are working with, and so you can communicate better with them and provide good, insightful tidbits of knowledge. [17:10] Boards are to maintain oversight and not get down into the management level. [17:22] Suzanne says good reputational risk management establishes credibility up front, without appearing confident that you can prevent every risk from happening. Something big could happen. You need a good business crisis plan. The board could be involved in a crisis. [18:26] Boards need to be risk savvy, not just risk-aware. The educational part is helping the board understand the organization and the key risks to it. Then they need to be actively engaged so they're asking better questions and leveraging that knowledge to make better decisions. [18:44] That's the evolution you're working on. It's ideal to do some of the educational work up front so you don't have to do it in real-time. It helps to get quickly to the risk-savvy, better decision-making piece. [19:12] Trisha explains the difference between being risk-informed and risk savvy. When you learn risk at the basic level, you know the nuts and bolts. Becoming risk savvy is understanding how it all integrates together. How do we start seeing what risks are interconnected? [19:40] Trisha asks how we see how the external factors that we face in the world could impact our strategic goals and initiatives. You need to mitigate risks, plan, and prepare for them, and think through your overarching organizational resiliency. [20:07] The risk practitioner doesn't just present a list of risks and mitigation plans. They say, here's what we're seeing and how this could impact that. Here are the systemic issues, and talk about what we are doing from that larger perspective. [20:32] Suzanne thinks it's important not to be backward-looking but to have foresight and look around the corner at what's ahead and ask how we can be more nimble as we charge forward. How can we adapt better to the new environment and manage risks in real-time? [20:53] That all helps to build foresight and the ability to think about what could go awry, or what new opportunity we need to take to achieve our goals. These are important points to being risk savvy. [21:29] Suzanne says in some organizations, board reporting is not happening. There is zero cadence. Some organizations report almost quarterly. In those cases, is the board providing oversight or management? [22:06] Consider how much information and what you are reporting; insights beat volume. What are the insights you need the board to know? Determine the level of information the executive team, the audit compliance committee, and the full board need. It's organization-specific. [22:47] Trisha addresses information overload. If you can get some pre-read out there, so that you can then have a conversation, that's ideal. Think about what decisions they need to make to know what information they will need to have in hand to make those decisions. [23:14] The decisions that are being made are different, depending on the group you are reporting to. Strategic decisions are going to need this information; operational decisions will need this other information. [23:39] Another Quick Break! The Spencer Educational Foundation's Risk Manager on Campus application period opened on April 1st, 2026, and it will close on June 30th. Grant awardees, colleges, and universities are typically notified in September. [24:00] The Course Development Grant application deadline for Interval Number 2 will be on June 15th, 2026. Award notifications will be sent out in late July. [24:15] General Grant applications will open on May 1st, 2026, and the application deadline is July 30th. Internship Grant applications open on August 15th and close on October 15th. [24:27] Links to each of these grants are in this episode's show notes. Visit SpencerEd.org for more information. [24:36] Let's Conclude Our Interview with Suzanne Christensen and Trisha Sqrow! [25:21] Justin asks about rightsizing, in terms of reporting. Suzanne says there is a set of goals or objectives behind right-sizing. When you get to the objectives, you can think about how you rightsize for those objectives. What do they need to know to make those decisions? [25:59] Trisha agrees. It goes back to understanding the audience and what they like to see, and saying, here are things that we need decisions on, or we need your thought process on. [26:21] Trisha has two sessions on Wednesday, May 6th, at RISKWORLD. The first one is with Katrina Gilbert from the DFW Chapter, "Kickoff to Resilience: A Case Study in Risk Management Strategies for Major Event Planning," from 10:15 a.m. to 11:15 a.m. [26:49] Fifteen minutes later, Trisha will present "From Risk Aware to Risk Savvy: Elevating Board Level Risk Reporting and Engagement," with co-author Joe Pugh from AARP. [27:12] Trisha says there's a responsibility on the board to know that the program is operating as it should, it's bubbling up information that should be bubbled up, they're getting exception reporting, and they have confidence that it's coming their way; it's not haphazard. [27:44] There is a little bit of time that has to be spent talking about the program and how the board can have confidence in it. It doesn't have to be a long story. It's "Here's what we're focused on. Here's how we know we're good. We've done a benchmark. We know we keep it current." [24:12] Suzanne says you want to enable informed oversight. You want to think through what they would need so that they can provide oversight to you. [28:18] You need forward thinking, looking at not only what's happening now, but also at what the potential emerging risks are. What are we watching for? How are we preparing for those things? Work to engage the board as you go forward. [28:33] Trisha says to get feedback on an ongoing basis. It's helpful to do annual surveys, but it's also asking in real-time, "Does this make sense; are you getting what you need?" [28:49] You can tell, based on the engagement, the level of discussion, and their questions. They should be asking insightful questions. That allows you to tell a deeper story because they're obviously interested in it. It's not a one-and-done. [29:30] Trisha says it's an honor to be able to speak at RISKWORLD or any RIMS event. She thanks the RIMS team, the SERMC, and others across the committees that selected the sessions. She is really excited to have the opportunity to do both sessions. [29:51] The "Large Event Planning" session will focus on what the DFW Airport has done to prepare for the FIFA World Cup, considering what it looks like to apply enterprise risk management to something of this magnitude and scale. [30:11] Katrina will do a case study, and Trisha will talk about higher-level issues. [30:17] The "Board Reporting" session will showcase the executive report just published that she co-authored. Trisha's excited. She understands her commute is just next door, which helps a lot since they are just 15 minutes apart. [30:43] Justin says we appreciate both of you for all the contributions you've made to RIMS through the years. I look forward to seeing you at RISKWORLD. Thank you for being such wonderful champions of the Strategic and Enterprise Risk Management Council here at RIMS!

Dr. Natalie Crawford, board-certified OB-GYN and REI, answers your fertility questions. I've been on the progesterone-only pill for three years due to other medical concerns, and I recently stopped taking it because my husband and I are ready to start trying to conceive. What should I expect when coming off this type of pill? Are there any body changes to look out for, and how long does it typically take for cycles to regulate after stopping? My husband and I have been trying to conceive for a year. I'm 30 and he's 32. He was diagnosed with a varicocele, and his only borderline parameter is motility at 36%. I've been diagnosed with mild PCOS and had an HSG that suggested possible adhesions in one tube. Our fertility doctor recommended holding off on varicocele surgery and starting a medicated cycle. In cases like this, is surgery worth pursuing, or are treatments like medicated cycles or IUI typically sufficient? I'm 38, have been trying to conceive for nearly two years, and have mild PCOS with regular cycles. I've had two chemical pregnancies and recently moved forward with IVF with PGT-A. I'm currently in the two-week wait after transfer but am experiencing brown spotting again during the luteal phase. With normal labs and no structural issues, what could be causing this recurring spotting? I'm 33 with a history of severe endometriosis and large fibroids. I've had surgery that resulted in the loss of one ovary and tube. My AMH is 0.38, and there may be tubal blockage, though I haven't had an HSG yet. I also froze eggs five years ago. How do you approach decision-making between continuing to try naturally, completing further testing, or moving directly to IVF in a case like mine? I'm 43 and hoping to have a child through IVF. I have regular cycles, a history of miscarriage, ovarian cysts, and fibroids—one of which protrudes into the uterine cavity. My doctor has recommended laparoscopic surgery with a six-month recovery. Would you recommend pursuing egg retrieval and fertilization before surgery? And what are your thoughts on PRP for ovarian or uterine rejuvenation after surgery?

Is radical change possible to solve some of today's most intractable problems? In Radio 4's weekly discussion programme, Tom Sutcliffe is joined by three journalists to discuss the challenges of trying to live differently. John Kampfner has travelled the world to find examples of places and people bravely and imaginatively confronting some of our most pressing problems – from climate change to health, housing and education. His book is called Braver New World: The Countries Daring to Do Things Others Won't.But Nicolas Niarchos questions how we live sustainably when the hidden costs of the green transition can be so devastating. In The Elements of Power he investigates the global supply of rare earth metals, essential for decarbonisation, and the terrible, bloody human cost for those involved in their extraction.Natasha Walter explores how activism is being reshaped in the era of climate emergency. In Feminism for a World on Fire, she reflects on the movements fighting for justice, and asks what forms of solidarity and resistance are needed when the planet itself is under threat.Together, the panel consider the innovations, compromises and moral dilemmas that come with trying to live well on a warming planet.Producer: Katy Hickman Assistant Producer: Natalia Fernandez

Ever wondered why some people burn out or quit activism despite caring deeply? Panu and Thomas spoke with Swedish Ph.D. researcher Britta Eklöf who explored this question. Many long-term activists face barriers like social disconnection, exhaustion, and doubts about their impact. Britta's research shows these obstacles are interconnected, and that small changes can make a huge difference. Creating social support, clear roles, and space for emotions can boost resilience and keep activists involved. It's not just about fighting for solutions, it's about sustaining ourselves while doing it. Join us for the conversation.
