Award-winning singer, songwriter, guitar player who released a new single at the beginning of this month. A song of hers that she released at the end of March is up for GRAMMY Consideration. She is a CMA member and has made multiple appearances at CMA Fest. She is based in Nashville, but earlier this month the Texas Sounds International Country Music Awards honored her with the title of Female Rising Star. She has performed at venues and events nationally and internationally, including a story she has about performing with Carrie Underwood. She has a combined social media following of approximately 100 thousand and her top five songs on Spotify alone have a combined total of approximately 300 thousand streams.

This week on The Veterinary Viewfinder, hosts Dr. Ernie Ward and Beckie Mossor, MPA, RVT, examine the U.K. Competition and Markets Authority's (CMA) 2024 report—a document shaking up global veterinary medicine. The CMA's findings on pricing, ownership disclosure, and consumer trust have sparked heated debates across the profession. Ernie and Beckie explain how the CMA found clients often don't know who owns their vet clinic, leading to confusion about costs and care. They discuss the agency's recommendations for mandatory transparency, including requiring clinics to clearly display ownership and pricing for services such as cremation or after-hours care. Beckie highlights the public's growing frustration with hidden fees and the pressure this places on front-desk staff, while Ernie connects the dots to corporate consolidation trends in the U.S. and Australia, where similar oversight may be on the way. Both hosts agree that transparency shouldn't be feared—it's a chance to rebuild client trust and showcase the value of high-quality veterinary care. This episode challenges veterinary leaders to shift their mindset: transparency isn't a threat, it's an opportunity. If you're a clinic owner, technician, or manager wondering what this report could mean for your practice—or your clients—this is the episode to hear. #VeterinaryPodcast #VetMed #VetClinicLife #VeterinaryTransparency #CMAReport #PriceTransparency #CorporateVetMed #GlobalVetMed #VeterinaryLeadership #FutureOfVetMed

Ever wondered how real estate agents determine the right price for a home? It's not a guess, it starts with a Comparative Market Analysis (CMA). In this episode, Charles Carillo breaks down what a CMA is, how it's prepared, and how it differs from an appraisal. You'll learn exactly how agents use comparable properties, market data, and trends to estimate your home's real value and why every seller should understand this before listing their property. Here's what you'll learn: • What a Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) really means in real estate • How agents find and adjust comps to price homes accurately • The key differences between a CMA and an appraisal • How market trends and property characteristics influence pricing • Why CMAs are free tools that help sellers and buyers make smarter decisions Whether you're a homeowner planning to sell, or an investor looking to understand market value, this episode explains how to do a CMA in real estate step-by-step in plain language.   Links Referenced in Episode: SS123: What is a BPO in Real Estate - https://youtu.be/3EYuOftL8mI Connect with the Global Investors Show, Charles Carillo and Harborside Partners: ◾ Setup a FREE 30 Minute Strategy Call with Charles: http://ScheduleCharles.com ◾ Learn How To Invest In Real Estate: https://www.SyndicationSuperstars.com/  ◾ FREE Passive Investing Guide: http://www.HSPguide.com ◾ Join Our Weekly Email Newsletter: http://www.HSPsignup.com ◾ Passively Invest in Real Estate: http://www.InvestHSP.com ◾ Global Investors Web Page: http://GlobalInvestorsPodcast.com/

Tune in to our weekly LIVE Mastermind Q+A Podcast for expert advice, peer collaboration, and actionable insights on success in the Probate, Divorce, Late Mortgage/Pre-Foreclosure, and Aged Expired niches! Today's extended discussion centers on converting fresh ideas into repeatable results. We unpack a subscriber's late mortgage lead and outline an approach that widens our focus to agents, investors, and like-minded professionals who care about mortgage-backed opportunities. The team explains our refresh program, a process that re-runs older data to confirm if the deed is still in the owner's name and whether the property remains unsold, enabling you to re-prospect with confidence. We explore Habitat for Humanity partnerships, including how deed restrictions and zero-interest mortgages affect outcomes, how to engage the Habitat board, and why acting as a middleman can unlock favorable terms while protecting the client. We discuss practical tools such as PropStream, Matt's ability to call late-mortgage leads, Homebot's market-value reports and CMA-driven strategies, and the importance of keeping your name on every document. The group shares negotiation playbooks for tough divorce scenarios, from mediation-ready packages to neutral communications, and the value of data-backed conversations with attorneys and lenders. The central theme is action: consistent calling, thorough data, and smart collaboration to generate opportunities across probate, divorce, and pre-foreclosure niches while leveraging community programs to help homeowners stay in place and avoid unnecessary foreclosures. Tune in for real-world tactics, thoughtful analysis, and a community of peers ready to turn insights into deals. Key Takeaways:  - A broad audience including agents, investors, and like-minded professionals expand on opportunities in late mortgage niches.  - The refresh program revives older data to identify viable prospects and preserve value in aging leads.  - Habitat for Humanity partnerships offer pathways to retain homeowners through mortgage restructuring and board collaboration.  - Homebot and CMA tools enhance client communication and credibility, increasing close chances.  - Maintaining neutrality in divorce negotiations protects relationships and improves deal flow.  - Relentless follow-up and disciplined call monitoring yield meaningful opportunities with minimal waste.  - Data-driven, collaborative approaches unlock strategies across probate, divorce, and pre-foreclosure markets while leveraging community programs. https://www.AllTheLeads.com or call (844) 532-3369 to check how many leads are available in your market. #LateMortgageLeads #ProbateRealEstate #DivorceListings #RealEstateLeadsPrevious episodes: AllTheLeads.com/probate-mastermindInterested in Leads?

A real estate expert breaks down the confusing language of real estate so you can finally understand what lenders, agents, and lawyers are talking about. From pre-qualification to escrow, this episode is your cheat sheet to translating homebuying jargon into plain English.If you've ever felt like everyone in the homebuying process was speaking another language, this episode will be your turning point.David Sidoni, host of How to Buy a Home, demystifies the industry's most misunderstood terms — helping first-time buyers move from “What does that even mean?” to “Got it. Let's do this.”Listeners learn the real difference between being pre-qualified and pre-approved, what “escrow” actually means (and how it can mean ten different things depending on where you live), and why understanding your loan type matters more than you think.David also explains how the words “accepted offer” don't always mean you've sealed the deal — and how regional differences in terms like “under contract” or “option period” can trip you up if you don't know what to expect.By the end, you'll understand all the acronyms (DTI, FHA, VA, LTV, CMA, and more) that once made your head spin, and you'll feel confident speaking the language of homeownership.This episode isn't just about memorizing terms — it's about empowerment. Understanding the vocabulary means understanding the process, and that's how you stop feeling like an outsider and start acting like a confident future homeowner.“There's a colossal difference between being pre-qualified and pre-approved — and knowing that difference can make or break your homebuying plan.”HIGHLIGHTSThe difference between pre-qualified and pre-approved — why it's more than just paperwork.What escrow actually means (and why real estate pros use it like the word “aloha”).Loan lingo decoded: conventional, jumbo, fixed, variable, VA, FHA, and USDA.The truth about “accepted offers” — why it doesn't always mean you've got the house.Regional term differences that confuse first-time buyers — “under contract” vs. “in escrow.”Common acronyms explained: DTI, LTV, FHA, VA, CMA, ARM, and more.Why understanding this language gives you real control over your homebuying journey.Referenced EpisodesEpisode 94: Starts the Terms & Definitions SeriesConnect with me to find a trusted realtor in your area or to answer your burning questions!Subscribe to our YouTube Channel @HowToBuyaHomeInstagram @HowtoBuyAHomePodcastTik Tok @HowToBuyAHomeVisit our Resource Center to "Ask David" AND get your FREE Home Buying Starter Kit!David Sidoni, the "How to Buy a Home Guy," is a seasoned real estate professional and consumer advocate with two decades of experience helping first-time homebuyers navigate the real estate market.

CMA also provides third-party medical services for psychiatric and addiction treatment facilities, as well as clinical and business consulting services for mental health providers.  Originally founded over 20 years ago by Dr. Eugene Degner, one of the first board-certified addiction medicine doctors in Texas and a pioneer in the medical treatment of alcohol and drug addiction, CMA continues to honor Dr. Degner's legacy through compassionate, expert care.  Today, their doctors, nurses, and mental health professionals serve patients and families at every stage of addiction and recovery — providing a caring, non-judgmental environment where healing can truly begin.

Home sellers, just like buyers, have a specific set of concerns and questions they need answered to feel confident in the process. Their questions often revolve around pricing, timing, and what to expect during the transaction.Here are the top 10 questions home sellers have, based on common inquiries and market trends:What is my home really worth? This is the most fundamental question. Sellers want to know a realistic and accurate valuation of their property in the current market. They often seek a comparative market analysis (CMA) from their agent, which compares their home to similar properties recently sold in the area.How do we determine the best asking price? While related to the home's value, this question is about strategy. Sellers want to know if they should price it high to leave room for negotiation, or price it competitively to attract multiple offers and a bidding war. The answer depends heavily on local market conditions.What repairs or improvements should I make before listing? Sellers want to know what they can do to get the best return on their investment. They are looking for advice on whether to undertake major renovations or just focus on smaller, cosmetic fixes like a fresh coat of paint, decluttering, or enhancing curb appeal.What are the total costs involved in selling my home? Sellers are often surprised by the number of fees they are responsible for. They want a clear breakdown of all expenses, including real estate agent commissions, closing costs, title fees, transfer taxes, and any money they may need to spend on staging, photography, or repairs.How will you market my home to attract buyers? Sellers want to know their agent has a comprehensive marketing plan. This includes questions about professional photography, virtual tours, online listings (on MLS, Zillow, etc.), social media promotion, and open houses.How long will it take to sell my home? This is a question about a seller's timeline. They want to set realistic expectations for the process, from the time it is listed to when the transaction is closed. This timeline is crucial if they are also planning to buy a new home.Is now a good time to sell? Sellers are always trying to time the market. They want to know if it's a seller's market (fewer homes for sale, high demand) or a buyer's market (more homes, lower demand). Their agent should provide a clear picture of the current market climate in their specific neighborhood.What should I disclose to potential buyers? This is a key legal and ethical question. Sellers want to know what property issues or defects they are legally required to disclose to buyers to avoid future legal complications. The rules for disclosure vary by state and local laws.What if a buyer's offer comes with contingencies? Offers with contingencies (e.g., home inspection, appraisal, or financing) are common. Sellers want to understand what these mean, which ones are negotiable, and what the risks are of accepting an offer with certain conditions.How will you handle multiple offers? In a hot market, sellers may receive multiple offers. They want to know how their agent will organize and present these offers, and what strategies they can use to negotiate the best possible price and terms, not just the highest bid.Thank you to Brock Fletcher and the selling team of Keller Williams Realty for their continued support of our programming!'The Tom Matt Show' Heard on-The Michigan Talk NetworkWKAR Michigan State Universities AM 870 & 102.3 FMWJIM-AM 1240 LansingWYPV FM 94.5 Mackinac Citywww.tommattshow.com(podcasts)iTunesFor more information on past guests, Tom's published books, and how to get in touch, please visit our newly updated website at https://www.tommattshow.com#RFZ #radio #broadcasting #podcast #michiganradio #lansing #michiganradio #mab #refirementzone #successstory #humaninterestpodcast #selfhelppodcast

Un miembro del canal me dijo: “Tanto hablar de Saab y se os olvida Volvo” ¡Y tenía toda la razón! Si a una persona, aficionada o no, le pronuncias “Volvo”, piensan en Suecia, en seguridad y, probablemente, en un coche familiar cuadrado y robusto. Esta es la historia de una marca que convirtió la seguridad en su religión pero también fabricó coupés deportivos y que acabó teniendo los ojos rasgados… ¿se puede hablar de “final feliz”? La historia de muchas marcas comienza en un taller de coches, pero la de Volvo no. En Gotemburgo, Suecia, esta erradicada la empresa SKF era uno de los mayores fabricantes del mundo de rodamientos. Y dos de sus empleados, el economista Assar Gabrielsson y el ingeniero Gustaf Larson, compartían una pasión: los automóviles. La leyenda cuenta que sellaron su acuerdo en una cena en agosto de 1924, en el restaurante Sturehof de Estocolmo, comiendo cigalas. El 14 de abril de 1927, el primer Volvo salió de la fábrica. Era el ÖV 4, apodado "Jakob", un descapotable con un motor de 4 cilindros y 28 CV. Como en toda buena historia, el debut tuvo un problemilla. Hablar de Volvo es hablar de seguridad con propuestas concretos. Otras marcas en los años 40 y 50 se centraban en la potencia las prestaciones, pero Volvo ya pensaba en cómo sobrevivir a un accidente. En 1944, su modelo PV444 ya introdujo una jaula de seguridad y el parabrisas de vidrio laminado. En los 50, experimentaron con salpicaderos acolchados. Pero el momento que cambió todo el mundo del automóvil, llegó en 1959. Volvo contrató al ingeniero Nils Bohlin, que antes había diseñado asientos eyectables para aviones de combate en Saab. Sabía cómo mantener a un humano atado y a salvo. En menos de un año, Bohlin desarrolló y patentó el cinturón de seguridad de tres puntos de anclaje. Y aquí es donde Volvo hizo algo impensable. Tenían la patente de uno de los mayores inventos en la historia del automóvil. Podrían haber intentados cubrirse de oro, pero no, la liberaron. Dejaron que cualquier fabricante del mundo la usara, gratis. Entendieron que era un avance demasiado importante para la vida humana como para guardárselo. ¿Y las carreras? En los 80, Volvo cogió su sedán 240, con la aerodinámica de una nevera, le metió un turbo descomunal y lo apodó "El Ladrillo Volador". Ganó el Campeonato Europeo de Turismos en 1985, humillando a BMW y Jaguar. Pero la locura definitiva llegó en 1994, en el Campeonato Británico de Turismos. A finales del siglo XX, los fabricantes independientes como Volvo lo tenían difícil. Tras un intento de fusión fallido con Renault, Volvo acabó buscando un socio más grande. En 1999, Ford compró la división de coches de Volvo por 6.450 millones de dólares. Volvo pasó a formar parte del Premier Automotive Group de Ford, junto a Jaguar, Land Rover y Aston Martin… Desde donde nadie lo esperaba, llegó una oferta. Venía de China. De un fabricante relativamente desconocido llamado Geely. El pánico se apoderó de Suecia. ¿Una empresa china comprando el símbolo de la ingeniería sueca? Muchos vaticinaron el fin de Volvo, como ya había sucedido con Saab, pensando que robarían su tecnología y la calidad caería en picado. Pero el fundador de Geely, Li Shufu, era un admirador profundo de Volvo. En 2010, la venta se completó por 1.800 millones de dólares. Y Li Shufu cumplió su palabra. Geely hizo lo más inteligente que podía hacer: puso una cantidad ingente de dinero sobre la mesa y se apartó. Le dieron a Volvo la financiación y la independencia casi total para investigar y desarrollar. Liberaron al tigre. El resultado fue el renacimiento de Volvo. Con la inversión china, los ingenieros suecos desarrollaron desde cero dos nuevas plataformas modulares, SPA y CMA. Contrataron a un nuevo jefe de diseño, Thomas Ingenlath, que revolucionó la estética de la marca con señas de identidad como los faros en forma de "Martillo de Thor". El primer fruto de esta nueva era, el XC90 de 2015, fue una declaración de intenciones: lujoso, tecnológico, minimalista y, por supuesto, el coche más seguro del mundo. Fue un éxito rotundo y marcó el camino para una gama que ha devuelto a Volvo a lo más alto del segmento premium, reforzando su identidad sueca y apostando ahora por la electrificación total con su submarca Polestar.

The UK Competition and Markets Authority found that restrictive licensing costs UK cloud customers £500 million annually due to lack of competition, while US government agencies overspend by $750 million yearly because of Microsoft’s licensing tactics. Microsoft recently disclosed that forcing software customers to use Azure is one of three pillars driving its growth and is implementing new licensing changes preventing managed service providers from hosting certain workloads on Azure competitors. Multiple regulators globally including South Africa and the US FTC are now investigating Microsoft’s cloud licensing practices, with the CMA finding that Azure has gained customers at 2-3x the rate of competitors since implementing restrictive terms.

Financial leadership is more than numbers—it's the heartbeat of nonprofit sustainability. In this Nonprofit Power Week finale of The Nonprofit Show, Regional Director Ellie Hume of Your Part-Time Controller (YPTC) brings clarity and candor to some of the most frequently asked financial questions. With an “Ask and Answer” format, the conversation covers everything from roles and responsibilities in financial leadership to the evolving landscape of fractional CFOs.Ellie sets the stage by redefining how we see finance in nonprofits: “Finance is literally the thread that draws every piece of the organization together because without it, nothing works.” She dismantles silos by urging finance professionals to engage deeply with program, marketing, and development teams to ensure that data isn't just accurate but also meaningful for decision-making.The discussion takes a practical turn as Ellie differentiates between controllers, comptrollers, and CFOs. She outlines the transactional oversight of controllers, the governmental nuance of comptrollers, and the strategic future-focus of CFOs. She also digs into the importance of internal controls, noting their role in fraud prevention and audit readiness.The lively session shifts into the governance space. How often should boards review and sign Conflict of Interest (COI) policies? Ellie's answer is clear: annually at minimum, but immediately when new conflicts arise. She gives a relatable example: a contractor-board member bidding on a capital campaign project must disclose and recuse themselves. Transparency, she argues, isn't optional—it's fiduciary duty.Ellie also challenges assumptions about credentials. Do finance directors need to be CPAs? Her answer: “You truly just need great accounting skills and a strategic mindset to help the organization use financial information to make good business decisions.” Certifications like CPA or CMA add credibility but don't replace experience or practical skill.The conversation also explores the rise of fractional leadership. Ellie frames fractional CFOs as an efficient way to access high-level talent at a fraction of the time or cost, particularly useful during transitions or to prepare for a new hire. Fractional arrangements, she explains, can be both short-term bridges and long-term partnerships.The conversation wraps with a powerful reminder for board members: ask tough financial questions. Are resources aligned with mission? What risks are we facing? Do internal controls hold up? And crucially—what training do board members need to responsibly interpret financial statements?#TheNonprofitShow #NonprofitFinance #FractionalCFOFind us Live daily on YouTube!Find us Live daily on LinkedIn!Find us Live daily on X: @Nonprofit_ShowOur national co-hosts and amazing guests discuss management, money and missions of nonprofits! 12:30pm ET 11:30am CT 10:30am MT 9:30am PTSend us your ideas for Show Guests or Topics: HelpDesk@AmericanNonprofitAcademy.comVisit us on the web:The Nonprofit Show
