What does it take to run a vertically integrated multifamily operation—and do it well? This week, we're joined by Michael Root, Co-Founder and Strategic Leader of Root Property Group, who breaks down the systems, strategies, and lessons behind managing nearly 1,000 doors in Chicago's north side.From understanding why “selling is a decision made before closing” to avoiding the trap of over-improving a property, Michael shares real, practical insights for investors who want to build long-term wealth the right way.Key Takeaways:3:07 – Michael's Core Roles: His three main hats are underwriting deals, asset management (executing strategies), and running the renovation crew.5:44 – Niche Strategy: Focusing on 10-unit, scattered-site buildings in core neighborhoods allows for hyper-accurate local data and pricing.10:26 – Tech for Efficiency: Software like ShowMojo automates scheduling and showings, eliminating phone tag and preventing lead loss.12:41 – Data-Driven Diligence: Use your own portfolio's data to accurately benchmark expenses against the seller's claims before touring the property.15:16 – Avoid Over-Improving: The worst mistake is over-investing in renovations, causing the property value to exceed what the local market can support ("meeting the market").17:02 – Legacy Transition: Buying the existing family business structure secured better lending credit and leverage for future acquisitions.19:55 – When to Sell: Consider selling if you've maximized value, plan no further capital investment, and wouldn't buy the asset back at the current market price.21:47 – Hindsight: Regrets include not networking more when younger and passing up "good deals" out of fear.Michael speaks Corwyn's "real estate dialect," diving deep into the world of multifamily acquisitions and the strategic vision needed to lead a multi-million dollar firm.Connect with Michael:Contact Number: 773 -904-1 383Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/michael-root-6242a6a/Website: https://www.rootrealty.com//Connect with Corwyn:Contact Number: 843-619-3005Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/exitstrategiesradioshow/FB Page: https://www.facebook.com/exitstrategiessc/Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxoSuynJd5c4qQ_eDXLJaZAWebsite: https://www.exitstrategiesradioshow.comLinkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/cmelette/Shoutout to our Sponsor: Mellifund Capital, LLCNeed funding for your next real estate flip or build?

The Haves & Have-Nots Of 2025 | Threshold Ventures Co-founder Emily MeltonThis week for our 2025 recap, we're joined by VC Emily Melton, co-founder of Threshold Ventures. Melton highlights her reflection of 2025, which splits the market into "haves and have-nots" with nothing in between, noting the concentration of venture dollars on "high flyers" and the indifference shown to established companies with respectable revenue.We cover:
What if you could test your business strategy in days instead of months? That's what Kate O'Keeffe, CEO and Co‑Founder of Heatseeker, makes possible. From building the first AI‑powered platform for market experimentation to helping companies validate strategy, positioning, and buyer demand at lightning speed, Kate's career is all about turning bold ideas into measurable results. Former BCG Partner and Silicon Valley innovator, she's here to show how AI is rewriting the rules of testing ideas — fast, smart, and with real data. What You'll Learn How AI and Heatseeker enable companies to validate strategy, positioning, and buyer demand in days instead of months Why traditional surveys and panels are unreliable and how real-time experimentation can replace them The importance of starting experimentation early in the funnel to uncover hidden customer desires How to balance speed and rigor when testing ideas and avoid misleading results Ways to foster a culture of experimentation where data informs thousands of daily marketing micro-decisions Episode Chapters (00:00) Intro (00:38) Why AI is changing brand strategy (01:41) Heatseeker explained and the problem with traditional surveys (05:17) Common mistakes in testing and the role of AI (10:23) Balancing speed with rigor in experiments (14:12) Creating a culture of experimentation without chaos (19:42) The future of AI-driven market experimentation (23:53) A brand that made Kate smile recently and how to connect Kate O'Keeffe is the CEO and Co-Founder of Heatseeker, the first AI-powered platform for market experimentation that helps companies validate strategy, positioning, and buyer demand in days instead of months. She spent a decade in Silicon Valley founding CHILL, Cisco's global co-innovation lab, and launching high-impact ventures for Fortune 100 companies at startup speed. A former Partner at BCG, Kate has advised executives and boards on innovation, growth, and digital transformation, delivering hundreds of millions in business value.

Send me a messageWhat if the biggest threat to your supply chain isn't a typhoon, strike, or cyberattack, but a mistyped HS code?This week I'm joined by Yeelen Knegtering, Co-Founder and CEO of Klippa, a company tackling one of the most underestimated risks in global trade: the explosion of paperwork, compliance demands, and manual processes that quietly delay planes, stall ships, burn carbon, and drain margin. With regulations tightening and documentation growing faster than teams can manage, this matters more than ever for anyone trying to build a resilient, low-risk, low-carbon supply chain.In this conversation, you'll hear how tiny admin errors cascade into multi-million-euro failures, and why most organisations still don't see the danger until it hits them. We break down why specialised AI (not generic LLMs) is starting to transform document-heavy workflows, cutting delays, cost, and emissions at the same time. You might be surprised to learn how many shipments are returned or destroyed simply because paperwork wasn't processed in time - and how automating even part of that work unlocks resilience far beyond compliance.We also dig into workforce impact, reskilling, and the uncomfortable truth: paperwork volumes are rising, not falling, and companies who ignore this layer of risk are already paying for it.
In this inspiring episode, Mike sits down with Adam Mizel, co-founder of US United, to explore how real national healing starts with one simple idea: choose positivity, then pass it on. After leaving a 20-year private equity career, Adam dedicated himself to bridging America's divides through service, storytelling, and connection. He shares how the Sheriff Unity Network, now active in over 100 counties, is quietly strengthening communities by addressing issues like mental health, addiction, homelessness, and everyday public trust—often in ways most people never see. Adam brings this mission to life through powerful stories of conversations with people across the political spectrum, revealing a truth often lost in headlines: most Americans want unity far more than conflict. He and Mike also spotlight National Unity Day (December 13th) and its two simple, transformative actions—Make the Call to reconnect with someone you've drifted from, and Change the Algorithm by flooding social media with positive content. This episode is more than a conversation—it's an invitation. If you want a more compassionate, connected America, start with one action today: reach out, lift someone up, and be the spark your community needs. IN THIS EPISODE:

In March 2022, Dr. Joseph Fraiman taped an internal call between FDA directors and physicians who were concerned about mRNA side effects in their patients – including the cardiac arrest and sudden death of a 7-year-old days after being injected with Pfizer's mRNA vaccine. “This was a top level meeting of directors,” Dr. Fraiman revealed to Ask Dr. Drew in Sept 2023. “This entire meeting terrified my entire work group.” The call – legally recorded by Dr. Fraiman – included FDA Director Dr. Peter Marks, Dr. Peter Doshi, Dr. Celia Witten, Dr. Sarah Walinsky, Dr. Lorrie McNeill, and many other experts. “What they're saying here is they're not doing statistical testing on adverse events. This is really insane to me,” Dr. Fraiman continued. “You know there's a problem if the vaccine group has a higher rate of them.” Dr. Joseph Fraiman, MD is an emergency physician and clinical researcher focused on harm-benefit analysis. He served as Medical Manager of Louisiana's Urban Search Rescue Disaster Task Force 1 and is lead author of a widely known re-analysis of mRNA vaccine serious harms.

Introduction In this episode, Robin Merttens is joined by Jack Miller, CEO and Co-founder of nettle, to explore how generative AI is being applied to one of insurance's most complex and resource-constrained challenges: risk engineering. Jack shares how his work at McKinsey, leading AI transformations for insurers, exposed him to the inefficiencies in assessing commercial property risks and how that inspired Nettle's founding. From mass retirements of risk engineers to the reality that most properties are never physically assessed, Jack outlines why the status quo is unsustainable and how AI can help underwriters make faster, more informed decisions without sacrificing depth or judgement. He explains how nettle is already working with insurers like Allianz to roll out configurable, production-ready tools that reduce manual burden, unlock previously inaccessible insights and integrate directly into existing underwriting platforms. In this conversation, Jack shares: Why risk engineering is facing a capacity crunch and how that affects underwriting quality The surprising statistic that sparked nettle's creation: 97.5% of properties are never visited How generative AI can enhance, not replace, expert judgement in high-value underwriting Why depth, not breadth, is the key to building meaningful AI solutions in insurance Lessons from building a product insurers can implement in weeks not years The importance of involving underwriters in AI adoption from day one What most insurers get wrong about pilots, procurement and “proper” GenAI strategies How nettle's partnership with Allianz helped shape a scalable, enterprise-ready product Why commercial P&C is the perfect proving ground for next-generation InsurTech If you like what you're hearing, please leave us a review on whichever platform you use or contact Jack Miller or Robin Merttens on LinkedIn.

John Casmon interviews Dani Lynn Robison, co-founder of a vertically integrated “Freedom Family” of nine real estate businesses, about how she moved from Ohio turnkey rentals into larger multifamily and fund management. Dani walks through why she brought renovations, property management, acquisitions, brokerage, and capital raising in-house, and how that 56-unit “drugs, thugs and bugs” deal became a $2M proof-of-concept for scaling apartments. She shares her hard-won lessons on hiring “Ferrari-level” leaders, structuring roles with profit sharing, and keeping a 100% payout track record by always making investors whole—even on bad deals. Dani also explains why many turnkey buyers don't actually want to be landlords, how she now focuses on truly passive vehicles like funds and syndications, and where she's seeing opportunities in Sun Belt multifamily, senior housing, self-storage, and build-to-rent as bridge loans come due over the next few years.

Lora Logic is a British punk and post-punk musician. In 1977, when she was 16, she became the saxophonist in Poly Styrene's seminal English punk band, X-Ray Spex. They had a hit with “Oh Bondage! Up Yours!”. She went on to form Essential Logic, a post-punk band with duelling saxophones that released one album in 1979. 43 years later she released a second Essential Logic album together with a box set of her back catalogue. Essential Logic plays a post-punk mix of punk, jazz, reggae and funk. Her life took a detour in the ‘80s when she joined a Krishna community, became a mother, and dropped out of music for 25 years. But she's back now.My featured song is “I Just Want To Love You” from the album Bobby M and the Paisley Parade.

This week on The Paragould Podcast, we sit down with Shawn Goodson and our own producer, Chris Collier, co-founders of the Paragould Run Company. What began in 2023 with a simple question: “Why not us? Why not now?” has quickly grown into one of the most exciting community-driven movements in NEA. In this episode, Shawn and Chris share how their desire for more local races turned into a vision to create true attractions for Paragould. Over the past two years, they've organized two editions of the Paraghoul 5K/10K and launched the inaugural Creek Trail Crusher Ultramarathon, drawing runners from as far away as Austin and Milwaukee. Along the way, they've also given $7,750 to local organizations through race proceeds. We talk about the early days of dreaming and planning, the challenges of stepping into something new, and how meaningful it is to see the community rally around these events. Whether you're a runner, a community builder, or someone who loves hearing the story behind local initiatives, this episode offers a thoughtful look at what can happen when ordinary people decide to contribute in extraordinary ways.

We confront the collision between AI's soaring compute needs and a grid unready for 50% peak expansions, then map a practical path to build clean, firm power fast without losing sight of affordability. Dan shares candid insights on markets, permitting, contracts, and how 3Degrees tackles Scope 3 at scale.• AI demand growth outpacing efficiency gains• Wartime mobilization mindset for energy buildout• All-the-above strategy across renewables, storage, and firm power• Price pressures from supply constraints and who pays• Additionality and siting clean power abroad• Permitting and transmission reform progress and limits• Financial governance: minimum revenue commitments and PPA design• Demand response and 24/7 carbon matching incentives• Scope 3 decarbonisation and supplier aggregations• Virtual power plants and flexible load orchestration• Leadership, governance, and resilience in volatile marketsPower isn't a footnote to the AI boom—it's the bottleneck. We sit down with 3Degrees co-founder and chairman Dan Kalafatas to untangle the thorniest question in tech and climate: how do we deliver massive new capacity, keep prices in check, and still cut emissions on an hourly, 24/7 basis? Dan makes the case for a wartime mobilization mindset and an all-of-the-above strategy, pairing solar and wind with storage and firm clean power like recommissioned nuclear and geothermal, while acknowledging the near-term role of natural gas. He explains why utilities are demanding minimum revenue commitments from hyperscalers, how demand response can unlock tens of gigawatts in the hours that matter most, and why temporal matching in carbon accounting will push buyers toward real around-the-clock decarbonization.We dig into additionality as Big Tech sites data centers in places with hydro and other low-carbon resources. What actually drives new clean energy build instead of reshuffling existing electrons? Dan shares pragmatic contract levers—from accelerated repayment clauses to renewable-only PPAs—that reduce stranded-asset risk and steer capital toward projects that cut emissions when the grid is dirtiest. He also unpacks the friction slowing progress: interconnection queues, permitting delays, water constraints, and a public already feeling price pressure before the big build even begins.On the enterprise side, we explore how 3Degrees approaches Scope 3 decarbonization and the rise of virtual power plants, where orchestration beats brute force. Thousands of suppliers, different load shapes, and new 24/7 reporting expectations create a data problem tailor-made for AI—if governance and audit trails come first. Expect candid takes on “green hushing,” the role of states when federal leadership zigzags, and why empathetic leadership belongs at the center of market design and execution.Dan Kalafatas: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dankalafatas/Dan Kalafatas is the Chairman and Co-Founder of 3Degrees, a leading global decarbonization solutions provider that has spent nearly two decades building the scalable systems necessary for businesses to tackle the existential threat of climate change.

All Home Care Matters and our host, Lance A. Slatton are honored to welcome Nancy Nelson & Kat Hartley as guests to the show. About Nancy Nelson "dangle" Co-Founder, dangle & dot: Diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer's in 2013, Nancy Nelson transformed fear into creativity and purpose. In the quiet hours following her diagnosis, she began writing words and phrases that seemed to "fall from the sky"—a healing practice that deepened her understanding of both her own and her father's dementia journeys. Following a second diagnosis of mild cognitive impairment in 2018, Nancy continued to embrace life with courage and grace plus a brain healthy lifestyle. She is the author of three acclaimed poetry collections—Blue. River. Apple.—which chronicles her personal experience with dementia. An Alzheimer's advocate and public speaker, Nancy shares her story at education and policy events, participates in dementia research, and leads support groups for individuals in the early stages of the disease.

In this episode, I sit down with Lauren Gropper, CEO & Co-Founder of Repurpose, whose purpose-driven mission truly inspired me. From surviving a life-changing moped accident to questioning why we use forever-lasting materials for five-minute products, she shares how her passion for sustainability has turned into a movement to redesign everyday essentials from plants rather than plastic.

Her story is a reminder that with the right design, intention, and team, we can create healthier products for our homes and the planet. Key Moments From the Episode: * A near-fatal accident that reshaped her purpose and commitment to impact. * The flawed logic behind single-use plastics and the question that sparked a new approach. * How everyday products can be made from sugarcane fiber, cassava, corn, and bamboo. * The hard truth about sustainable manufacturing and why affordability is still a hurdle. * Tracking impact: over 700 million pieces of plastic replaced.
