This Omni Talk Retail Fast Five segment reacts to Target's decision to name fashion icon Isaac Mizrahi as its first-ever Creative Director at Large, a brand new role in which Mizrahi will advise on product design, mentor Target designers, and help the retailer reclaim its iconic cheap chic identity. Chris Walton and Jenn Hahn aren't exactly wowed. While they agree that creativity never hurts, both question whether a lack of design vision is actually what's holding Target back right now or whether the real issues are operational, from store execution to service to merchandising. Chris draws on his Target background to push back on the nostalgia play, invoking the legendary Missoni sellout as a reminder that you can't go back to the well and expect the same magic twice. They also wonder aloud where Mizrahi's influence will begin and end across a portfolio this broad and whether this headline is more about buzz than genuine strategic direction. ⏩ Tune in for the full episode here: https://youtu.be/k2JviUlR0-Q

Ukrainian Drone Attacks Cripple Russian Oil Infrastructure. Guest: Michael Bernstam. Cheap Ukrainian drones have successfully targeted Russian refineries and fuel transport, causing significant shortages of gasoline, diesel, and aviation fuel. This technological warfare has forced Russia to ban exports and implement rationing, as traditional air defense systems struggle to counter swarms of small, maneuverable drones. 51900 MEXICO  CITY

The full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine. The U.S. and Israel's war in Iran. The Israel-Hamas war.Each of these conflicts of the last few years is rewriting how war is fought. Cheap drones are doing damage that once required far more expensive weapons. Battlefield information is now available at a distance in real time. And some of the biggest innovations are coming from countries with relatively small defense budgets.We sit down with a panel of experts and ask what these conflicts are teaching us – and how the U.S. is responding to these lessons.Find more of our programs online.

Krill oil improved knee pain, stiffness, and physical function in people with osteoarthritis, helping participants move more comfortably during daily activities like walking and climbing stairs Older adults taking krill oil for six months improved grip strength, knee strength, and muscle thickness, which helps protect against falls, weakness, and loss of independence with age Krill oil delivers omega-3 fats in a phospholipid form that blends efficiently into your cell membranes, while its natural astaxanthin content helps protect the oil from oxidation and inflammatory damage Cheap, oxidized fish oils and diets high in seed oils worsen inflammation and interfere with healthy cellular energy production, making it harder for your joints and muscles to recover Pairing krill oil or omega-3-rich seafood with regular movement, stable dietary fats, and enough protein creates a stronger foundation for preserving cartilage, muscle function, and long-term mobility

In this practical and convicting episode of Your Weekly Calling, Brad Lowe explores the story of Jacob and Esau and asks listeners a challenging question: What are you trading away for temporary satisfaction? Using a personal story about trading away a valuable Michael Jordan card as a kid, Brad dives into Genesis 25 and the moment Esau gave up his birthright for a simple bowl of stew.Brad explains that Esau's mistake wasn't hunger—it was impulsiveness. He traded something permanent for something temporary, a pattern that still shows up today when people exchange character for convenience, integrity for popularity, family for success, or purpose for comfort. The episode challenges listeners to recognize the small compromises that slowly shape the direction of their lives.To bring the lesson into the modern world, Brad shares the story of Ron Wayne, who sold his 10% stake in Apple for just $800—an ownership share that would eventually be worth tens of billions of dollars. While Ron Wayne has publicly said he doesn't regret the decision, the story serves as a powerful reminder that what feels urgent in the moment isn't always what's most valuable in the long run.Through humor, relatable examples, and practical application, Brad encourages listeners to become "legacy people" rather than "immediate people," making decisions based on long-term impact rather than short-term cravings.

Walter Murch, one of the greatest film editors who ever lived, doesn't fix bad footage. He decides what the film actually is, from hundreds of hours of raw material that could tell a dozen different stories. Rick Rubin, one of the most successful and iconic record producers in history, famously describes his role as just listening. He sits on a couch, hears what's true and what isn't, and tells the artist. Artists pay enormous sums for that. Your clients now have the camera. They have the recording equipment. AI is giving them raw material faster and cheaper than ever before. What they don't have is the ear and the eye. The judgment about what to do with all of it. In this episode, I make the case that this judgment is where your real value lives, and that it lives in two places: before the work starts, and after it's done. Both are underpriced by most writers. Both are in growing demand. What You'll Learn Why the film editor and record producer are the right mental models for where your value sits in an AI-shaped market What "upstream judgment" actually means and why writers have been giving it away for free for years The specific decisions that happen before content is created that AI genuinely cannot make well Why the demand for downstream editorial judgment is growing as AI content floods the market How to identify where your judgment is most needed inside your existing client relationships Key Ideas & Takeaways 1. Your clients have the raw material. They need the judgment. AI is making content production faster and cheaper than ever. What it's not providing is the editorial eye that decides what's worth making and what's worth keeping. That's the gap you can fill. 2. The most important decisions are made upstream. Before a word gets written, someone has to decide what's worth creating, for whom, with what angle, and why. Those decisions require context that doesn't exist in any dataset: the client's internal politics, their buyer psychology, the competitive landscape, what leadership will actually approve. That's where experienced writers have enormous value they rarely charge for. 3. You've been doing advisory work your whole career. Every time you asked a clarifying question that changed a project's direction, pushed back on a brief that didn't make sense, or flagged an angle that wouldn't land with the audience, that was advisory work. It was just embedded invisibly in your writing process. The move is to make it visible and price it separately. 4. Downstream judgment is in growing demand. The more content AI helps produce, the more critical it becomes to have someone with real editorial judgment reviewing it before it ships. Companies that skipped this step are learning the hard way what it costs to publish without a quality filter. That's a real and growing opportunity for writers who position themselves as that filter. 5. You don't have to stop writing. Moving into judgment-focused work doesn't mean giving up the craft. Most writers who've made this shift still write. They do it alongside upstream strategy work and downstream editorial review that puts them closer to the decisions where the real value lives. Action Steps Think of one current client and ask: what decisions are they making before they produce content that my experience gives me an opinion about? Ask the same client: what content are they shipping that nobody with real editorial judgment is reviewing first? Write down one upstream service you could offer this client based on what you know about their strategy, their audience, and their blind spots. Write down one downstream service based on the content quality issues you've noticed in their recent work. Pick one of those two and draft a one-paragraph description of what it would look like as a packaged offer.

Hosted by Michelle Martin, today's episode opens with a bold broker call: DBS sees 46% upside in Jardine Matheson and reckons the conglomerate's own targets are too modest. Closer to home, two SGX names to watch - Apac Realty and Lum Chang Creations. Then a genuine puzzle out of the US chip sector: Micron and SanDisk are having their best year ever, yet somehow screen cheaper than they did in February. In the daily UP or DOWN, Michelle runs through Intel's Trump-fuelled jump, Amazon's bid to take on Nvidia, SpaceX's bumpy market debut, and an Indian IPO that could hand early backers - Temasek among them - a 6,400-fold return.

Republicans are now arguing that their aggressive mid-decade redistricting campaign could preserve their House majority even in an environment where history is usually not on their side. According to a new memo from the National Republican Congressional Committee, newly redrawn maps have reduced the number of competitive districts and forced Democrats to compete in more Republican-leaning territory. Democrats dismiss that analysis, arguing that strong special election results and voter dissatisfaction with President Trump still favor a House takeover. My gut is still that Democrats will take the House. I do think it's going to be closer than people think, if just because we're in an intensely polarized country.Republicans are still looking for the why. That's what they haven't found yet. Why am I excited? Historically, at least in the Trump administration, it has been things like immigration. But you can't run the next election on the thing you solved in the last election. I know there are a lot of frustrated conservatives who say we should be talking about the fact that we closed the border. What have you done for me lately? That is the refrain from voters. Republicans are going to gin up the culture war, and they're going to point at Democrats and say they've learned none of their lessons. Turning the keys back over to them is not going to get you anything. It's going to get you more impeachments, more nonsense, and less of what you want. Democrats, meanwhile, will say we have an out-of-control oligarch president and we need some kind of emergency brake, so give us back control of the House.Politics Politics Politics is a reader-supported publication.

The national average fell below four dollars, according to AAA. A month ago it was around $4.50. We are looking at a collapsing gas price. We have been told throughout the history of commodities that gas shoots up like a rocket and falls like a feather. We are seeing it fall pretty quickly. If the price of a barrel returns to the levels we saw before the war, now that the memorandum of understanding has been signed and there is free flow of oil through the Strait of Hormuz, you're going to see lower gas prices. That's usually what people rely on, and it's also the hedge against inflation.Cheap gas had always been the Trump administration's hedge against tariff inflation. The argument was that while you might pay more on imports, gas would remain extraordinarily low. Obviously that promise was broken with the Iran war. Now it seems that we are at least in some phase of calm and negotiation, a controversial one. My point of view on any American activity in the Middle East—some may even say adventure in the Middle East—is that it almost always ends with America having to tell Israel no. Israel is usually very excited about having us in the region because, in general, we agree with Israel on most everything that happens in the Middle East. But they will always want us to do more, and eventually we usually have to tell them we are not going to do everything they want. That is just the way I understand the region.Is this memorandum of understanding wise? I read the text that was released yesterday. It's a pretty big give to allow Iran to sell oil. It's going to help the gas price, but it is a pretty big give. The carrots we are offering are big and juicy, but they are not promised up front. Everything is contingent on what happens from here. For Republicans, the best-case scenario is relative economic calm and Donald Trump being seen as a game-changing president that people might not always agree with but who is moving things forward. If we're talking about jobs numbers and things that are forward-facing, Republicans are probably winning the argument. If we're talking about side issues and distractions, Democrats are winning the argument. I still think it's going to be very, very, very hard for Republicans to keep the House. But again, this is a very polarized country, and the biggest thing Republicans need is a reason to get their people excited.Chapters00:00:00 - Intro00:01:57 - Republicans and the House00:12:19 - Obama00:15:51 - Thomas Kean Jr.00:19:36 - Iran00:24:43 - Kirk Bado on Primaries01:11:10 - Wrap-up This is a public episode.

Send us Fan MailIn this Thursday edition of Talking Pools, hosts Steve Sherwood and Wayne Ivusich dive into the realities of running a successful pool service company. From referral programs and pricing challenges to difficult customer interactions and the importance of building relationships with manufacturer representatives, this episode offers practical business advice for pool professionals. The conversation also includes an insurance-focused discussion on the growing topic of natural swimming pools and the unique risks they present. Topics CoveredWhy Referrals Are Still the Best Marketing ToolSteve explains why customer referrals continue to be one of the most effective ways to grow a pool service business. Rather than chasing online reviews or discount programs, he discusses building trust with existing clients and rewarding long-term customer relationships. The Reality of Pool Service PricingNot all pool companies charge the same rates. Steve shares a real-world example of a prospective client comparing prices and why competing solely on price often creates problems. The discussion highlights the importance of communicating value, professionalism, reliability, and service quality. Managing Difficult Customer ExpectationsFrom emergency requests to customers demanding specific service times, the hosts discuss how setting boundaries and maintaining clear expectations protects both the customer and the service company. They explain why not every client is the right fit for every business. Commercial vs Residential Pool CustomersWhy are commercial clients often easier to work with than residential customers? Steve shares his perspective on dealing with engineering departments, facility managers, and property owners versus individual homeowners with highly specific expectations. Insurance Interlude with Pat GranonCan Natural Swimming Pools Be Insured?Pat Granon from the California Pool Association joins the show to discuss insurance considerations surrounding natural swimming pools. The conversation explores whether natural pools are classified as pools for insurance purposes and what coverage options may be necessary for companies servicing them. Additional Risks of Natural PoolsThe discussion examines concerns involving: Communicable disease exposure  Pollution liability  Professional liability risks  Biological filtration systems  Potential legal exposure from waterborne illnesses Pat explains why standard general liability coverage may not always be enough and discusses additional policy options that service companies should consider when working with natural swimming pools. Is a Natural Pool Really a Pool?The hosts debate where natural pools fit within the industry and whether maintaining biology instead of traditional water chemistry creates a fundamentally different risk profile for operators and service providers.  Support the showThank you so much for listening!

Aussies love a bargain, and for many of us, whether it was right or wrong, the allure of a cheap knock-off of a big-name, big-ticket item was too compelling to ignore. 

Are we really ready? Hosted by Steve Nerlich. From Dec 1, 2025. Cheap Astronomy tries to stay sane on a trip to Mars? Dear Cheap Astronomy – Will we just go nuts on a two-year mission to Mars Well, we might if the space radiation doesn't kill us first. As we may have noted in previous episodes, current timelines for when we'll land on Mars seem to take little account of the fact that there are many mission components we don't even have conceptual solutions for let alone anything flight-tested or even prototyped. So current aspirations of having footprints on Mars in the 2030s are just aspirations.   Dear Cheap Astronomy – Will we just go nuts on a two-year mission to Mars, Part 2 In the last episode, we discussed the mental duress involved in sending a crew of up to five on a two year mission to Mars – which is 7 months each way with an extended stopover in the middle, with the whole experience involving relentless exposure to the risk of imminent death, and where radio delays with Earth may stretch out towards 20 minutes, enhancing the whole experience of isolation and helplessness.   We've added a new way to donate to 365 Days of Astronomy to support editing, hosting, and production costs.  Just visit: https://www.patreon.com/365DaysOfAstronomy and donate as much as you can!

Today, we return to the subject of oil and the impact of the Iran War. How have flows and demand changed and why are prices so relatively low? Is this a function of great PR work on behalf of the US Administration?  Or is something else happening? Why, contrary to all expectations, oil prices remain relatively subdued? And how long can this go on for? Here to answer those questions is David Wech, Chief Economist at Vortexa, the energy and shipping data and analytics firm.  For related content and to find out more about HC Group, a search firm dedicated to the energy & commodities sector, visit https://www.hcgroup.global

One of the most overlooked parts of building an insurance agency brand is the giveaways, promotional items, and marketing materials that represent your business long after you've left the room. We discuss why cheap giveaways can damage your brand, why most promotional items end up in the trash while a few stay on desks for years, and why "everyone is doing it" is a terrible marketing strategy.Because sometimes the best branding advice is simple: Don't put your logo on that.Learn more at IntegraPartnerNetwork.com.

For millions of people living with obesity, weight loss drugs have been hailed as a game changer.They're known as GLP-1s but are more commonly known by their trade names: Ozempic, Wegovy and Mounjaro. So far they've only been made by two companies in Denmark and the US and they're pretty expensive. But now the patents for these drugs have expired in China and India, which means pharmaceutical companies in those countries can now make cheaper copies. India has a reputation as the "pharmacy of the world" because of its ability to turn expensive medicines into affordable mass-market products. The country is the world's largest supplier of generic medicines. Indian companies are already starting to produce and sell these weight loss drugs. So what impact will this have on the cost and supply of weight loss drugs in India and around the world? Archana Shukla, the BBC's India business correspondent in Mumbai, tells us why the expiry of the patents is such a big deal. And BBC Health correspondent James Gallagher explains how these drugs work.

Is your accounting firm caught in a race to the bottom? With major tech players flooding the market with $97 automated tax plans, it's never been easier to feel like your professional expertise is being commoditized. Many firm owners are responding by lowering their prices to stay competitive, but here is the cold, hard reality: you cannot out-volume the giants, but you can—and must—out-value them. It is time to stop trading your sanity for high-volume, low-margin work.

Reconciliation isn't the same thing as forgiveness. We've probably been confusing the two for too long, and it's had real consequences for real people. In this episode, let's look honestly at what genuine repair actually requires, who's responsible for what, and why it's worth the hard work of getting it right.    LINKS: Book of Forgiving  |  Connect  |  YouTube  |  Coming Up TRANSCRIPT: Ian calls kids up and shares puppets (all the animal characters from Wally and Freya) Setup: We've been talking about Wally and Freya for a few weeks now. But there were other animals in this story— a whole community. And when something happens between two people, the whole community has to figure out how to respond. I need some helpers. Each of you gets a character. Facilitate a short, lively role play — you narrate, kids voice their characters: Wally did something that hurt Freya. Now everybody has to decide what to do.Name each option clearly as kids play them out: Get even — someone decides to do something mean back to Wally. Throw a tantrum — someone just explodes with feelings. Ask for help — someone goes to a trusted adult. Forgive — someone decides to let it go and move forward. Choose the relationship — someone decides whether they even want to keep being Wally's friend. Wally & Freya book Here's what I want you to notice: in any situation where someone gets hurt, everybody has choices. Not just one choice, but a whole menu of them. Some of those choices help. Some of them make things worse. And some of them are really, really hard. The hardest one (and the most interesting one) is what we're talking about today. The word you are going to hear me use is called “reconciliation,” and it means making a relationship better. It's not the same thing as forgiveness. They're related, but they're different. Here's the difference: Forgiveness is something YOU do, inside yourself. Reconciliation is something that happens BETWEEN PEOPLE. It takes both people showing up. Painting rocks… what are words we could use? The Distinction We Were Not Taught We have spent this whole series untangling forgiveness from the myths we inherited about it. Today we untangle one more, and it might be the most practically important one. Forgiveness and reconciliation are not the same thing. We use them interchangeably. We shouldn't. Collapsing them into one action creates real damage: It pressures the wounded person to restore a relationship before they feel safe. It lets the person who caused harm off the hook for the actual work of repair. It produces what we might call false reconciliation, a surface-level "we're fine" that buries the wound rather than healing it. The Tutus: "The preference is always to renew unless there is a question of safety." But — and this is important — reconciliation is the fourth step of the Fourfold Path, not the first. You cannot skip to it. And sometimes, honestly, you never get there. To be clear: not reaching reconciliation is not s sign of failure either. That's reality. Lessons from the TRC In 1995, Nelson Mandela appointed Archbishop Desmond Tutu to chair South Africa's Truth and Reconciliation Commission… a body tasked with the nearly impossible: helping a nation begin to heal from decades of apartheid-era atrocity. The TRC was empowered to grant amnesty to perpetrators who confessed their crimes truthfully and completely to the commission. Not automatically. Not cheaply. Truth first. Tutu's final remarks after submitting the report were: "We have looked the beast in the eye. Our past will no longer keep us hostage." Notice what the commission was called. Not the Reconciliation Commission. The Truth and Reconciliation Commission. Truth comes first. Always. What Archbishop Desmond Tutu and the TRC understood, and what we so often get backwards, is that healing actually does have an order. You cannot reconcile what you have not first actually named. You cannot repair what no one has acknowledged was broken. Skipping truth in the name of peace doesn't produce peace. It produces a ceasefire. Those are different things. The TRC also knew its limits. The commission's final report recommended prosecution in cases where amnesty was not sought or was denied. Reconciliation and accountability were held together, not traded against each other. That's the model. The Asymmetry of Reconciliation Here's something the Tutus make explicit that almost nobody else does: the person who was hurt and the person who caused harm have fundamentally different work to do in reconciliation. The path is not the same for both. For the person who was hurt: Your work is the Fourfold Path: telling the story, naming the hurt, granting forgiveness, and then deciding whether to renew or release the relationship. You do not owe anyone reconciliation. Forgiveness is yours to give on your own timeline. Reconciliation requires the other person to show up. The Tutus: "Ask for what you need from the perpetrator in order to renew or release the relationship." That's your right. An apology. An explanation. A changed behavior. To never see them again. All of these are legitimate. For the person who caused harm— the Tutus' framework from Chapter 8 is equally clear: ADMIT the wrong. Witness the ANGUISH Don't argue, don't cross-examine, don't justify. Just listen to what your actions cost the other person… APOLOGIZE genuinely… When you apologize, you are restoring the dignity that you have violated, and acknowledging that the offense has happened. ASK for forgiveness… and honor whatever answer you receive. Make AMENDS or restitution wherever possible. This asymmetry matters because we almost never name it. We treat reconciliation as if both parties are equally responsible for making it happen. But if someone caused harm and hasn't done their work— hasn't admitted it, hasn't witnessed the anguish, hasn't asked for forgiveness— placing the burden of reconciliation equally on the wounded person is just another form of harm. What Gets in teh Way Why is our culture so bad at this? A few honest reasons: Cheap accountability. "I said sorry, what more do you want?" An apology that doesn't include witnessing the other person's pain, or making any effort toward repair, isn't accountability. It's a bid to end the discomfort of being the one who caused harm. Forced and premature reconciliation. Especially in families, churches, and workplaces (read: systems with power dynamics!) pressure to reconcile before the wounded person is ready, or before the person who caused harm has done their work, is coercion masked as grace. No shared vocabulary or ritual. This is a distinctly American problem. We have almost no cultural practices around genuine repair. We have legal settlements. We have awkward apologies. We don't have a process. The Tutus give us one. Most of us were never taught it. The fear that accountability and restoration can't coexist. They can. The TRC proved it — imperfectly, controversially, but really. Truth and healing are not enemies. They need each other. Sometimes, Reconciliation isn't Possible or Appropriate. Some people may be carrying experiences of abuse, violence, or sustained harm Some relationships should not be restored. The Tutus themselves say the preference is always to renew… unless there is a question of safety. Safety is not a small caveat. It is the first question. Releasing a relationship— choosing not to restore it— is not a failure of forgiveness. It is sometimes the most brave thing a person can do. You can forgive someone and never speak to them again… it's totally not a contradiction. Reconciliation requires two willing, honest, accountable people. If only one person is doing the work, what you have is not reconciliation. It's one person carrying everything alone… again. The Reconciliation Map Here's a practice to take into this week... Think of a relationship in your life where there has been harm… either harm done to you, or harm you caused. Ask yourself honestly: Where are we actually in this process? Has the story been told — honestly, out loud, to someone? Has the hurt been named — the feelings underneath the facts? Has forgiveness been granted — or is it still in process? Has there been any movement toward renewing or releasing the relationship? You don't have to be further along than you are. This isn't a checklist for shame. It's just a snapshot, and an honest look at where you actually stand, so you can take the next step that's actually yours to take. Wrap-up Next week is our last week together in this series. We're going to flip the question one final time and ask: what does it mean to be forgivable? What's my role in the harm I've caused — and what does it look like to become someone who can be forgiven? This is hard, slow, important work. You're doing it!

We call grocery workers “essential” — right up until it's time to pay them. In this episode, Nicole sits down with journalist, activist, and author Ann Larson to unpack the hidden realities of low-wage labor, economic inequality, and the corporate systems keeping millions of workers struggling to survive. Drawing from her experience working as a grocery store cashier during the pandemic, Ann shares what most consumers never see: workers skipping meals, elderly employees unable to retire, women wearing diapers behind registers because breaks are denied, and employees lacking basic healthcare while generating billions for major corporations. Ann Larson is a journalist and activist whose work on education debt and low-wage labor has appeared in The New Republic, The Nation, Fast Company, and The Chronicle of Higher Education. She's the co-author of Can't Pay Won't Pay: The Case for Economic Disobedience and Debt Abolition and author of Clean Up on Aisle Five, a powerful look inside the realities of supermarket labor in America. In this episode, Nicole and Ann discuss: Why there's no such thing as “unskilled labor” The hidden emotional and technical skills required in grocery work How corporate consolidation impacts wages, communities, and poverty rates The connection between consumer spending and worker treatment Why unionization and antitrust laws matter more than most people realize How economic inequality affects all of us — not just low-wage workers What shoppers can do to support ethical labor practices Why voting with your dollars matters Because if people working full-time jobs still can't afford food, healthcare, or retirement, the system isn't broken — it's working exactly as designed. The question is whether we're willing to keep funding it. Thank you to our sponsors! Become a Fora Advisor today at Foratravel.com/WOMAN - and make sure to tell them we sent you!

In this episode of The Canadian Investor Podcast, Simon is joined by Daniel Foch to take a deep dive into Canadian REITs and the major forces reshaping the real estate market. They discuss why residential REITs are facing pressure from falling rents, rising vacancies, and slowing population growth, while retail REITs have been surprisingly resilient thanks to strong occupancy, rent increases, and valuable land redevelopment opportunities. They also cover the office sector, where return-to-office trends are helping at the margin but vacancy rates remain well above pre-pandemic levels, especially outside top-tier buildings. Simon and Daniel also look at industrial REITs, the impact of overbuilding, the role of higher interest rates, and whether areas like data centres could become an interesting opportunity for Canadian real estate investors. They wrap up with a discussion on office conversions, adaptive reuse, and what investors should watch before jumping into beaten-down REITs.

Today's story: Japan has millions of vacant homes, especially in rural areas where populations are shrinking. Some of these properties, known as akiya, are sold for surprisingly low prices or even given away for free. While they attract adventurous buyers from around the world, many require extensive repairs, complicated paperwork, and a willingness to adapt to life in rural Japan.

Free is not always free. Sometimes it costs you the most valuable asset you have. In this episode of The Level Up Podcast, Paul Alex breaks down why trying to do everything yourself just to save money can actually keep you broke. Let's be real… If you spend five hours trying to fix a problem just to save fifty dollars… You are valuing your time at ten dollars an hour. And if you are the CEO… That math does not work. In this episode, you'll learn: Why doing everything yourself can become a massive liability How low-level tasks steal time from high-value revenue work Why hiring experts is often cheaper than wasting your own hours How to buy back your time and focus on the vision The truth is simple: Your job is not to save every penny. Your job is to build wealth. That means knowing when to delegate. Knowing when to hire. Knowing when to pay for speed. And knowing when your time is too valuable for the task in front of you. Too many founders stay stuck trying to save money… While losing the hours they need to actually scale. Free can be expensive. Cheap can be slow. And doing it yourself can become the biggest bottleneck in your business. Protect your time. Deploy your capital. Hire the experts. And keep leveling up. Your Network is your NETWORTH!

Many real estate investors avoid C- and D-class neighborhoods due to crime, older housing stock, and management challenges. Mike Bonadies sees opportunity where others see problems.On this episode, Mike explains why he focuses on lower-income neighborhoods and how those properties have allowed him to build and scale a large portfolio. We look at the types of properties he's buying, what he's paying, how much rehab they're typically needing, and the numbers that make these deals work.With a lower barrier to entry and strong cash-flow potential, Mike believes these markets can offer opportunities difficult to find elsewhere.We also get into the realities of owning low-income housing. Mike talks about working with Section 8 and other government assistance programs, dealing with inspections, navigating government red tape, and why these properties are anything but passive investments.He shares some of the biggest challenges he's facing today, including applicants using AI-generated pay stubs and bank statements, as well as the steps he's taking to verify income and avoid costly mistakes. Finally, Mike reveals the key numbers he tracks and the one thing investors can do to increase their chances of success in low-income housing.https://rentalincomepodcast.com/episode576Thanks To Our Sponsors:Rentec Direct - Automate the day-to-day work and make property management easy.
