Mike Davis of the Article III Project joins me on today's shows to unpack a variety of issues. The electoral college certified the election, making Donald Trump officially the 47th President of the United States. Mike is eagerly anticipating the incoming DOJ led by Pam Bondi. Bondi served as Florida's attorney general and has a rockstar team by her side in Todd Blanche, Emil Bove, John Sauer and Harmeet Dhillon to get the justice department back to delivering justice. More questions unfold about January 6th as it is confirmed that there were 26 FBI hired contractors at the capitol that day. Davis hopes Trump pardons those involved in non-violent incidents.

I'm your host, Mike Hingson, and we are glad that you're with us today for another episode of unstoppable mindset today. Our guest is Moustafa Hamwi and Moustafa is, well, he has an interesting thing that he says about himself. He says that he is a unique he has a unique lifestyle. He's an executive Nomad, and he will tell us about that, among other things, but he is a best selling author, a mindset coach, and a number of other kinds of things. So I'm not going to give it all away. It's more fun to let him describe it and and kind of lead our conversation. So Moustafa, welcome to unstoppable mindset. We're really glad you're here.   Moustafa Hamwi ** 02:10 Thank you, Michael, for having me. I'm really excited to be on your show.   Michael Hingson ** 02:14 Well, thank you. We really appreciate you being here. And because you are an executive Nomad, where are you nomading From today?   Moustafa Hamwi ** 02:23 In the moment I'm in Melbourne. So I use Melbourne as a satellite base for kind of Asia and Australia, New Zealand. And then I use Dubai as a satellite base for Europe and kind of the Middle East area.   Michael Hingson ** 02:39 So where is home base. If you are at home base ever   Moustafa Hamwi ** 02:42 see last year, I decided to give up everything I own, downsize my life into two bags, one bag that has my formal stuff, one bag that has my casual stuff, and I pretty much gave up everything else that I own, took a camper van and started driving around Australia. So since then, I'm pretty much an executive, no matter just that home is where the heart is. So that's why I have two bases I use just as a central area to move from there. But yeah, depends on the day. What   Michael Hingson ** 03:10 made you do that? What made you decide to down so down size and not only take up that kind of lifestyle, but live in in the way that you do   Moustafa Hamwi ** 03:22 beautiful question. I mean that that has a lot of layers to it. I'd say my journey start of pursuing my own passion in life started at about 2008 when I was in events and nightlife, having an externally very successful life, but feeling empty on the inside. I started reading, researching, yoga, meditation, all of these things. 2012 bought a one way ticket to India. 2013 came back to Dubai, started delivering inspirational talks, and people would say, You changed my life. And this is really when I knew that that's my passion and purpose. However, also I realized from that trip that me, including, yeah, and a lot of other people. We burden ourselves with a lot of belongings. The mind is a hoarder, and we like to hoard stuff. We like to have stuff, but these things were weighing me down and not enabling me to move as much as I wanted to, and to travel and to explore, and especially that the speaking brought me a lot of joy from seeing different parts of the world and different people and different cultures. So I started, I put a mission for myself since about 2000 and probably 14. I said, every year I'm going to give away half of everything I owned unconditionally. The only condition is half has to go. I love it. I it belongs. It has memories. There's always half that doesn't have that criteria. So every year, half and funny enough, it took me about 10 years to get rid of almost everything I have last year due to a lot of reasons, including a lot of stress, a lot of things, I've been procrastinating that dream. Yeah, and obviously, pandemic did not allow a lot of movement, but last year, I literally woke up on them like, you know what time to do it? What's left is not too much anyway now and let me downsize and live light, so that enables me to be anywhere I want in the world. Where   Michael Hingson ** 05:15 did you house yourself during the pandemic?   Moustafa Hamwi ** 05:20 Whoa. Well, pandemic was an interesting period. Very challenging. Yeah, very well. It was very challenging for everybody. For me, however, I found a big challenge brought a lot of opportunities. Which one of them is what we're talking about today is actually my my latest book is slingshot,   Michael Hingson ** 05:40 right? So where did you? Did you move around a lot during the pandemic? Or were you in one place just because it became a little bit of a challenge and an issue to travel?   Moustafa Hamwi ** 05:51 Well, I came out of a divorce looking for a fresh start. Came to Australia, Melbourne, particularly, looking for just the reset. And I arrived here at about 20 Marsh 2020, which is just two days before Melbourne lockdown, and it became the longest lockdown on the planet. So yeah, was an interesting period. There wasn't a lot of movement outside four walls.   Michael Hingson ** 06:20 So with the lockdown, I'm just curious about hearing how it went in other parts of the world. Do you think the lockdown worked and really helped keep the pandemic from spreading worse than it could have?   Moustafa Hamwi ** 06:34 That's a very complicated conversation. Yeah,   Michael Hingson ** 06:36 I know it's, you know, and I don't know the answer. I'm just sort of curious. But   Moustafa Hamwi ** 06:40 my my personal opinion is No, I totally disagree. I think if anything, it did more damage to people than it then it helped, because the mental health, that pressure that it brought on people, including me, this is one of the experiences I had, is the fact that I thought, if I am a speaker and a coach and an author, and I work on mindset, and I do all of this stuff, and I found it very challenging to handle the pressure that this lockdown brought on me, especially extended period of of lockdown just made life a lot more difficult than it needed to be. So yes, it might have, if you really think at micro level, helped a little bit on reducing spread of a virus, which I think still very difficult because it's an airborne virus. But on the other hand, in the grand scheme of things, it's like trying to shoot a small bird with a bazooka. Yes, you might get the bird, but you've caused so much collateral damage that I don't think it was worth it   Michael Hingson ** 07:37 well, and that's it. Yeah, go ahead. Sorry.   Moustafa Hamwi ** 07:39 And that included, actually, that my father caught covid in Dubai, and he was hospitalized, and I did not get the chance to see him before he passed away, simply because of the lockdown. So really, how they put a price tag on that? Well, my dad caught covid Anyway, even during lockdown, but the extended lockdown meant I couldn't see my father. And the question is, well, what did that benefit me and I eventually, somehow, I ended up catching covid With all the lockdowns and getting sick and all of that. So were   Michael Hingson ** 08:06 there mask mandates or requirements in Melbourne? And yeah,   Moustafa Hamwi ** 08:10 Melbourne, Australia, was one of the most locked down cities in the world. That's that's a topic of discussion by itself. It's quite a it wasn't a pleasant place, and developed a very bad rep of the politicians that were running this place at that time. What about   Michael Hingson ** 08:23 the whole idea, though, of wearing masks? Did you think that that helped slow down or prevent some of the disease spread and or, or at least catching the disease? Blocking down is one thing, but I'm thinking of just wholly, i the whole idea of wearing a mask,   Moustafa Hamwi ** 08:43 again, very debatable. And I can't speak medically, I can tell you, on the level of mental health, pressure that it put on people, you pretty much sure so that made made breathing more difficult for a lot of people, put pressure on a lot of people. And it was through all of these experiences that I feel, if you're talking about a mask, is that put the pressure, lockdown, pressure, masks, all of these things started pushing me further into a place where I needed to find a solution. And this is where the journey of me writing slingshot came from,   Michael Hingson ** 09:14 and we will definitely get to that. I know that when the lockdown happened here, I had just gotten out of New York, where I was delivering a speech before the lockdown happened. In fact, I left early on a day earlier on a day that I was scheduled to leave just because of that, and I'm glad that I did. And for me and my wife, our situation with the lockdown was that she was in a wheelchair her whole life, and she also had rheumatoid arthritis, so she had an autoimmune disease. And so I think the lockdown, or at least, let me rephrase it, us being locked down, was probably a good thing, and we chose. Was to not worry about it a whole lot at the same time, it did affect me as a speaker, also, because I wasn't able to travel and speak, so I did look at other opportunities, which eventually also led to this podcast. I did some things virtually, and some speaking virtually, but now with the fact that my wife passed away in November of 2022 and we actually did a podcast about that in January of 2023 and I had somebody interview me about it. But we with her passing, I'm now starting to ramp up speaking again and working to find engagement. So that's a process, but we'll get there.   Moustafa Hamwi ** 10:42 Condolences, and I know this was a tough period for everybody, and losing somebody loved, a loved person close to us is never easy, and especially when it happened during a lockdown and during a pandemic. So   Michael Hingson ** 10:54 Well, again, it happened in 2022 so supposedly a lot of the pandemic has lifted. But I agree with you, I think that it's a very complicated issue, and I am very concerned that while covid is airborne, and while there are things that we can do that help lower the potential for death, all it takes is another mutation that we don't catch right away For that to all change, and and covid is certainly not something that has gone away yet. I don't buy the conspiracy theorists who talk about the fact that they're just injecting into us, ways of tracking us and things like that. I'm really not sensitive to to a lot of that, but I also recognize that there are all sorts of challenges. And children clearly had a lot of challenges with it, because they couldn't go to school and they didn't do things virtually as well. I think also, parents are needing to help that mindset, but, but that's, that's where we are, and you know, it will all, it will all be something that we'll just deal with as we can. I'm sure. I'm sure, yeah, tell us about the early Moustafa, growing up and all that that eventually led to where we are. But tell us about your maybe a little bit about your childhood and growing up, and what you did and all that before you adopted the lifestyle you have now.   Moustafa Hamwi ** 12:26 Oh, how far do we want to go so?   Michael Hingson ** 12:30 Well, whatever. I'll   Moustafa Hamwi ** 12:31 give you a bit of background. My I'm Syrian by birth. I moved to Saudi when I was two years old, which is where I spent most of my primary school, went back to Syria for a bit, and then studied my first year of uni in Jordan, then finished my uni in Egypt. And uni is University, okay, right, IO in Alexandria and Cairo, and then I went to Dubai to start my career in 2000 so that, and from there, it's been pretty much a long stint of 20 plus years in Dubai.   Michael Hingson ** 13:12 So what was your career initially, when you started after after university.   Moustafa Hamwi ** 13:18 So after I started my uni, my first job was a telesales operator, because it was the only job I could get. Funny, I came out of uni, I'm the guy who didn't have holidays or weekends. I was always studying, doing courses, doing internships, with the promise that one day I'll end up getting jobs and everything. And it was a big disappointment, because I came into the job market with a big CV, and all my friends were like, Mustafa was going to be the first guy who gets a job. I didn't even get a job interview. And it was a friend of mine who got my dream job, which is to be a marketing researcher. And he ended up passing on his his side gig, which was a telesales operator, to me as a favor. So you can imagine how that was. You know, as happy as I am for him, the question to me was like, What did I do wrong? What was wrong with me? And that, funny enough, put a lot of pressure on me to perform and figure out a way around. So I said, in one year from now on, I'm going to be working in a multinational. Took me about 13 months from starting that job to end up working in a multinational ad and advertising and public relations agency handling the PR for Nokia and the Middle   Michael Hingson ** 14:31 East. So you were doing marketing and PR, as opposed to sales for Nokia? Yes.   Moustafa Hamwi ** 14:36 So that was my the start of my proper career. It was in public relations for Nokia Showtime, Cisco and many other multinationals, and that pretty much gave me a lot of exposure to a lot of nightlife and events, because back in the days, I'm guessing yourself and anybody watching the show would be old enough to remember a Nokia phone.   Michael Hingson ** 14:55 Well, that was I was actually going to say that there was a process. It. Are you familiar with Ray Kurzweil?   15:02 Yes, of course. Okay,   Michael Hingson ** 15:04 so Well, the singularity. But long before that, he was the developer of omnifont, optical character recognition. And he developed a a machine that read out loud for blind people. And in the late 2009 2010 well, 2009 by that time, the software technology had evolved and hardware had evolved that he was able to put his reading software on originally, I think it was a Nokia N 82 and then it went to a couple of other Nokia phones as well. So for probably about three or four years, the Nokia phone was the main platform because it had not only enough memory, it had a high enough resolution camera, and you could load the character recognition software as well as a screen reader, so it would verbalize whatever came across the screen. And actually, I was the major distributor for it, and I worked with others and signed them as distributors in the United States. So we sold a lot of the, what we're called KNFB Reader mobiles in the United States, a lot of Nokia phones. Amazing,   Moustafa Hamwi ** 16:20 amazing. Yeah. Well, well, I mean, yeah, you know how big Nokia was at that time. And, yeah, Ray Kurzweil is phenomenal in the tech space, and you're right now that you mentioned, I remember he did have a lot of technology enabling visually impaired people to, you know, to consume data and information from the world around them. Yeah,   Michael Hingson ** 16:39 he, he did some really good things for blind and low vision people. And then, of course, later, he developed the, probably, I haven't heard anyone disagree with this best music synthesizer, and it still is the most about the most natural sounding one I think I've heard. And then he also was involved in voice recognition, which is cool. So he did a lot of really useful things,   Moustafa Hamwi ** 17:05 yeah, amazing stuff, amazing stuff. And it was more amazing the fact that it was on a Nokia, on a Nokia handheld,   Michael Hingson ** 17:11 yeah, yeah. But then Symbian eventually went away, or the the iPhone came along and was a lot more powerful, and then everything sort of migrated, and Nokia was also, I don't know whether they were making bad decisions, but a lot of things were happening that made it much less popular than than it had been. Yeah, but so, so how long did you work for Nokia and the other companies like that?   Moustafa Hamwi ** 17:36 So I was handling the PR for Nokia in the Middle East for a couple of years, and during that period, I got exposed to all the nightlife and events because they were the sponsor for all these beautiful things, and that made me one of the most popular guys in Dubai, because I had backstage access to every single event that was happening. And that meant that I eventually started partying. More and more, started throwing after parties. And next thing I know, I decided to leave the company I'm working for and open up my own event agency. And that led me, that led me to go growing my business from four people, 45 people, multi million dollar turnover, and my life got crazier and crazier. Daytime, we're doing conferences, seminars, events and nighttime. We're sponsoring concerts and parties and things like that.   Michael Hingson ** 18:27 That must have been quite a challenge and tearing you in so many different directions.   Moustafa Hamwi ** 18:33 Well, it was, it was exciting for a young guy in his 20s to have that, you know, a video clip lifestyle, but Asher, while it did burn me out, and it made me reflect on a lot of things in life, first and foremost was, what am I doing with my life? What, like all of this fine is short term, short lived joys, but they're not fulfilling at all, and they don't make me feel better by the day, if anything, day by day, they start becoming less enjoyable, and they start making me feel emptier and emptier. And this eventually led me to leave everything behind and buy a one way ticket to India on a search, on a soul search journey finding passion and purpose.   Michael Hingson ** 19:17 Yeah. Well, you finally discovered was that all that nightlife stuff and all the other things that you were doing were great, but where was it really getting you? Mustafa,   Moustafa Hamwi ** 19:28 it was, I mean, look, I was making money, I was partying and everything, but it was fulfilling me. It wasn't getting me far. It wasn't getting me far. That's, that's really sometimes, sometimes the biggest challenges in life, side of the biggest blessings in hindsight, and when we're able to go through the experience, we realize that there's something in it for them that makes us ask deeper questions. And that's   Michael Hingson ** 19:50 the issue, and that's what I was getting at, is that in reality, all that other stuff, all that physical stuff and so on, was was fine, but. And as you said, Where does it really get you, and how is it really helping you emotionally and your your your inner self, the inner musafa, and it wasn't really helping that at all   20:11 100%   Michael Hingson ** 20:12 so you went to India. What did you do in India?   Moustafa Hamwi ** 20:17 Well, it was just, I remember what my mom called me. She's like, What are you doing? I said, I quit my job and I'm buying a one way ticket to India. She's like, are you crazy? What are you going to do in India? I said, I don't know. I'm going to go get lost. It was one of those things where I did not know, but I knew I had to go in that direction. It was an intuition to go to India, but I did not know exactly what I was looking for. I was looking for an answer. Obviously, yeah, no answer for what. And along the journey, I met by coincidence or a universal alignment, a guru or Swami, who had been in caves for 13 years. He had been meditating in solitude in caves for 13 years, and he had came out a few years before I met him, and in one of the interactions with him, I'm asking him about life, meaning of things, and so on. And he goes to me, he used to play with his beard. He goes, Hmm, do you know what you are thirsty for? Because if you do not know what you are thirsty for, you cannot quench your thirst. And that was a big aha for me, like I'm searching for an answer, but I never actually focused on what the question is. And a realization since then, till today, especially when I got into coaching, the real value is in the question. The best thing you can do is ask a question, because a well thought, well designed question gives you a valuable answer, and at that time, I did not know what I was looking for throughout my journey. Then a few months later, I end up, coincidentally, walking into a hospital getting myself checked up, and I discover I had a medical condition that was labeled non curable, and that freaked me out, because I had to reflect and ask myself, What if this was a cancer? What if this was something that was going to end my life? You know, what? What meaning that I have in my life? Did my life have any value? And reflecting on that, I realized that the answer to the question of, What am I thirsty for? The answer was, I'm thirsty for impact, to be able to know that I have left a positive impact on this planet. So then I 2013 I ended up buying a ticket back to Dubai, and I started delivering inspirational talks called Cavalli to Manali, which is talking about the journey of going from the Cavalli club nightlife in Dubai into Manali, where I met my Swami, and a few months later, a random person sees me sitting in a cafe in Dubai and just walks up to me, goes, Hey, you're that speaker guy. I said, Yeah. He goes, you did there talk about India? I said, Yeah, he goes, You changed my life. And that was an aha moment for me of ah, the answer to the question is, I am seeking impact in my life, and I know I can have impact by sharing my story, by doing inspirational talks and by doing coaching.   Michael Hingson ** 23:05 Yeah, I absolutely relate to what you're saying. Because as I tell people after September 11 and escaping from the World Trade Center, and people started asking me to come and tell my story, and they wanted to hire me to do it. As I say, I decided that selling life and philosophy was a whole lot more rewarding and a lot more fun than selling computer hardware. Yeah, I have to earn a living at it, and I had a wife who needed me to earn an income as well, and I still need to do that, but the rewards and when people tell you how you've changed their life, those kinds of comments really are what it's all about, as you well know, 100 100%   Moustafa Hamwi ** 23:54 and sometimes we feel we are as inspiring as We think we are, and until we meet the next inspiring person. So the reality is not that I am inspiring in the absolute is just that I've had an inspiring experience. However, since I got on this journey, I realized that there's so many more inspiring people, more than me, and literally, until we spoke last time before the episode and you told me your story, I'm like, Wow, here you go. There's one more. And what I love about this being in this industry is actually the amazing surroundings and people that you hang around and you communicate with. But this is not to say that someone who's not in the industry is not inspiring. I feel I've had so many experiences where I've been inspired by some of the most normal, average day experiences, because they also remind us to that the passion and purpose is a day to day pursuit. It's not just about a mission of changing someone's life, because a mother who's sacrificing and dedicating her life to her children is is as inspiring, if not more inspiring, absolutely   Michael Hingson ** 24:57 and um. You know, I think for me, the the issue is that I love to meet people. I think everyone inspires me to some degree, some more than others, and there are some that I don't need to ever meet, just observing them, if they inspire other people, that's that's fine. But I also think that it's important that as we inspire, as we speak, as we do, the things we do, all of those affect our lives. And so every inspiration, every time we meet someone, it affects us, and I think it helps us. I was going to say, codify, but it helps us more specifically understand what our philosophy is, and it helps clarify it, and helps us move forward. And I think that's very important,   Moustafa Hamwi ** 25:53 100% 100% it is. I there's a there's a saying in Arabic. I'll try to translate to English, but it says the wisdom is the PERS is the Holy Grail, and pursuit of the wise, wherever they might find it, they will grab it. So really, any any experiences that would help, any interactions that would help us as a person and as a human being grow is really the pursuit should be the pursuit of every, everyone,   Michael Hingson ** 26:24 yeah, and, and if we can contribute to that in one way or another, then that's great for For my part, I don't try to quantify how inspiring I am. My goal is to inspire where I can, and I know that not everyone who hears me necessarily goes away and will be as inspired as other people, but they're probably looking for other things. On the other hand, I know that I have contributed to inspiring some people. There was an article, oh well, I delivered a speech in 2014 and last year, somebody wrote an article about that talk and said some very positive and kind and nice things about my talk. And I love to say to people, how many times do you remember a speaker nine years later and decide to write about him so he must be doing something right, and what what I do right is what other people feel I'm doing right, and as long as as they feel that, then I'm going to continue to do what I can do. And certainly my message will evolve over time as your message evolves over time, as we learn more. That's very important in what it's all about,   Moustafa Hamwi ** 27:36 100% 100% and it is a journey, not a not a goal, I think, correct the whole conversation about mindset, you know, and kind of a beautiful segue into talking about mindset. Here is when I was talking to you last time, and then I, you know, was talking about my book and the mindset and everything, and you talked about your experience, you know, leaving the Trade Center during the 911 or escaping more, more than leaving, you know, and I asked you, how challenging was it for you? You actually gave me a huge mindset shift talking about that. Probably that was a more natural environment for you, not not being able to see, compared to someone like me, who's used to to external visual references, to be able to find my way, you probably had better chances and better mindset being able to deal with with everything that was going around you, which was very impressive, and a mindset shift for me just having that conversation with you. Well,   Michael Hingson ** 28:38 I think it's important, though. The the other part about that is, and as I think I explained a little bit, I spent a fair amount of time learning all that I could about the World Trade Center, what to do in an emergency, where all of the exits were, what the process was. And so, whereas sighted people typically want those visual cues. I knew that if I were ever in an emergency in the building, and what started that was that, of course, there was a bombing there in 1993 it wasn't something that caused a lot of damage, but it had happened, right? And so the bottom line is that being in that building now, right, there have now been something that happened, and there could be something else that happens. So I needed to know, and also I was the leader of that office, and so it was important for me to make sure I knew all I could, because it might very well be that we would find ourselves in a situation where there weren't visual cues for people smoke and other things like that, which we didn't really have in the building that day, but still we we could have, and it taught me how to be more observant. So for example, when we got into the stairwell, I began smelling an odor, and it took me about three or four floors to realize I was smelling the fumes from burn. Jet fuel. None of us had any idea what really happened. The airplane hit 18 floors above us on the other side of the building. And as I love to tell people, the last time I checked Superman and X ray vision were fictitious, so none of us knew what happened. And in fact, none of the people on the stairs from all the offices where we were and that we we and with the people we encountered, hundreds of people all the way down. No one knew, because we were all on the other side of the building. And so I smelled this odor, and it took me a while to suddenly realize I'm smelling the fumes from burning jet fuel. And I observed that to other people, and they said, Yeah, we were trying to figure out what that is. We must have been hit by an airplane, but we didn't know why. We didn't know any of the details, but again, it's learning to pay attention to the details, and it's really learning to have all the knowledge that we can possibly have. Visual cues are really lovely as far as they go, but that's visual cues that don't necessarily really point to the level of knowledge that we can have if we focus on maybe learning how to deal with an emergency as a blind person should. And I say it that way because I know of a lot of blind people who don't take the time to do what what I did, and so they might very well be in a fearful situation, but that was my makeup, and that's what I chose to do.   Moustafa Hamwi ** 31:21 Amazing.   Michael Hingson ** 31:23 And, you know, I think it's important, and I think in fact. And so the article talked about some of that, and I've given a number of speeches on emergency preparedness and safety, and talk about the fact that people need to learn about what to do in an emergency. Don't rely on reading science, because that may or may not work for you. And there have been a few situations where after giving a talk like that, people have come up to me like somebody who is involved in running a power company for a state, and he said, you raise a really good point. We're going to figure out, we want your help to figure out a way that the people can evacuate from our generating stations, our electric generating stations, if there's a fire and there's smoke, so that they can't see where the signs are, to tell them where the emergency exits are. And we figured that out.   Moustafa Hamwi ** 32:16 Wow, amazing.   Michael Hingson ** 32:18 It is. It is part of what, what we need to do. So again, I'll contribute where I can. I'm not an expert on electric generator plants, but I know what I did, and if I can help people and and inspire them that way, that's great. But you know, we all have our experiences, and hopefully we can contribute and and help other people. And that's what it's about, of course,   32:44 beautiful.   Michael Hingson ** 32:46 So for you, I want to go back to your Swami said, What are you thirsty for? Did you have an answer for him? Or how did you deal with that at the time?   Moustafa Hamwi ** 32:56 Well, at the time, I did not have an answer what. What ended up happening, obviously, is what I just mentioned earlier, is that my journey of first discovering I had a medical condition, and I had to ask myself, well, if this was a cancer, if it was undiscovered now and could have turned into a cancer, would have I been proud of my life and what that was? And the answer was, Well, what I was thirsty for is to have meaning and to have impact, but I did not know how I'm gonna do it. And eventually, the experience in Dubai of somebody saying, You changed my life made me understand that. The how, so, the what, the what was impact and the How was speaking, coaching and sharing my story. Did   Michael Hingson ** 33:40 you ever get to go back and tell your guru what you discovered?   Moustafa Hamwi ** 33:46 I actually not. I discovered I got to see him again on the same journey while I'm still in India. And actually, that's why I went back to him after I discovered I'm seeking purpose. At that time, I did not discuss that with him, because, remember, I was still dealing with my own medical condition. So my priority was me, because as much as Yes, of course, we want to help, but the reality is, I can't help anybody if I'm dead, so I my priority was healing and dealing with my own stuff and and I spent a lot of time with him, but that was not a, not a conversation I had with him, as much as reflecting deeper and deeper and a lot of other things in life with him. But   Michael Hingson ** 34:24 that question really did change your life in so many ways over time. 100% Yeah, which is, which is, of course, probably what, what he intended, as long as you were willing to think about it, and clearly you were so that was great, yep. So you know a lot of us, I believe that as we go through life, we make choices, and I love to realize that I can trace a lot of where I am. A day, back to choices that I made some time ago and the choices that brought me here, for example, whatever that is. But in dealing with our past and dealing with choices, is that an important thing to do, or do we just forget our past and we just live in the moment? Beautiful   Moustafa Hamwi ** 35:19 question, and what you're asking about is kind of the whole premise and trigger behind my book slingshot. And the analogy of Slingshot is that, yes, we do need to go and take a step back to deal with our past, but only enough to discover what is holding us back, but then we have to let go of that so we can slingshot into the future. So the answer is not an absolute yes or not an absolute no, it is a yes. And how do we move on after we take that step back? Otherwise, we get stuck in the past, which happened to me for a while, while I was stuck in the space of healing, and all the healing space does is dig deeper and deeper. And it's like peeling an onion. You take one layer out and there's another layer and another layer and another layer, and that alone becomes an addiction. So reality is, yes, take a step back, but let go so you can accelerate into the future. So   Michael Hingson ** 36:15 how does the healing process then actually work?   Moustafa Hamwi ** 36:20 One, of the biggest elements of healing and growth in life is actually awareness. So the first step is, is if we're if one is able to step back and face the reality of what happened. And one system I use in slingshot the book is actually we ask people to write their story first. So the way we do it, and I can do it here is with you, is ask, okay, if your life was a movie, what genre would it be? Okay? And then you'd put a name to that movie. So you say, okay, my the genre of my life is, I'll give you an example. The genre of my life was at a period when everything was not going well in my life, and losing my business and so on. The genre was a sad drama, and the title of my movie was dreams broken on the shores of reality. I mean, I say it now and I laugh at it, but at that time, I was very depressed, sitting in and staring into the horizon, at every sunset, going, Oh, my life, everything is not working. And then, and then, the story of my life was, I'm a failure because of my upbringing, because I didn't have a good English education. I didn't have a proper university education. I had a uni, but it wasn't a, you know, something that is inspiring, and all these stories that the outside world fills into our head. And I was looking for an excuse for any failed experience which is not failure in the ultimate and then reframe that story and through the exercises that go through the book. So what happened is, by reframing a lot of those stories, the genre of my movie changed from a sad drama into an adventure, and then the title of my movie was an adventure of a lifetime, a life to die for. So then suddenly that little mental shift and reframing of the story showed me the best side of the life that I'm living and allowed me to capitalize on the opportunities. Yeah,   Michael Hingson ** 38:15 I hear what you're saying. Well, go ahead,   Moustafa Hamwi ** 38:19 yeah. So I'd say this is a simple exercise we can give to any listeners to really start by asking yourself, if life, my life was a movie, what genre would it be? And be honest with yourself, because the healing element here does not work. So if I was to pretend that I'm in, that I'm positive about my life, I don't believe positivity works. It's a bunch of bollocks, because positivity, if you're not truly inspired from inside, is just putting makeup on something. It doesn't change the reality of what that thing is. We have to face, honor and acknowledge and understand that we are sad, that we are upset, that we are angry, that we are hurt. These are all natural emotions and the challenge is throughout now this industry, unfortunately, the self help industry, people are are feeding people. No, you got to be positive, and you got to be this, and you got to be that. You can only be what you are congruent with. And that has to come from genuineity, from authenticity and from truth. And if your truth and genuineity and authenticity in that moment is sadness, then honor it, because you can only resolve some emotions, or the emotions and emotions you have. You can only resolve them when you go through them, not over them. You know when they say, get over it. You cannot get over it. You have to get through it. And once you get through it, you dissolve it, and then healing can happen. It's like, if you have, if you have something under your skin that's a an infection that is so bad that it's starting to develop pus. The only way to heal it is to actually cut it open, clean it and then stitch it again. If you try to ignore it, it doesn't work. So really, awareness is a big element in any healing journey. Me.   Michael Hingson ** 40:01 For me, I kind of view positivity a little bit different than I think you're describing, and I appreciate what you're saying. I think that positivity is, in a sense, focusing on dealing with the things that are going to help you advance and trying to not focus so much on the negative things that you can leave behind you. Maybe another way to put it is so many of us worry about so many different things, and most of the time we don't have any control over them, if we would just focus on the things that we can control and leave the rest alone, we would be a lot more productive and a lot less stressful in our lives.   Moustafa Hamwi ** 40:48 I totally agree with you, however, I would still want to debate that the positivity conversation, and I'll ask you a simple question and to anybody who's listening, would you consider yourself a glass half empty or glass half full guy,   Michael Hingson ** 41:03 I guess I would probably view myself more as a glass half full guy than a glass half empty guy. Beautiful,   Moustafa Hamwi ** 41:09 and I'll tell you I personally disagree or and I would tell you you're probably not that, and I'll explain why. Okay, I'm I'm a guy who says the glass is half empty half full. And how can I fill the empty this is by that, yeah, so you are the guy who's practical. And practicality versus positivity are two different stories, because what happens sometimes people who are just focusing on the positivity never also understand where they need to develop and they they need to grow, and they become stale, right? And that it's just a labeling conversation that we're having. Of course, yes, it is attitude, and of course, you gotta look at the glass half full. And if you focus, if you focus on the negativity in your life, you'll never get, get get out of that. But also, equally, if you don't acknowledge and understand that these things require growth, then you also never grow there. So it's a, it's not a, it's not a black or white conversation. It's a conversation of totality, of looking at the half full and half empty. Otherwise people get mis eluded, and that's why I keep talking about the self help industry, because it it sells a lot better to talk about positivity. People don't want to hear about the hard work they have to do to fill in half of the glass. Nobody wants to talk about, okay, you talk about positivity, but nobody understands that the level of hard work, as you said, you had to go through to be prepared to deal with situation where you're not getting visual cues, because you had to depend on other things that took work that didn't happen by itself. So what I talk about here is not just the positivity, it's the totality of the approach of being truly realistic and honoring that the struggles in your life do bring their own opportunities, and they allow you to grow only when you own them rather than ignore them. Yeah,   Michael Hingson ** 42:51 and again, for me, and as I was describing, the whole concept of positivity is really dealing with the negativity that we focus on so much that we don't need to have around us if we choose to deal with it and we can, there are things that go on that are challenges to us, but we have the choice of dealing with those challenges, and I think that's the important thing, as I tell people we had no control over September 11 happening, and I am not convinced that all the communications between all the government agencies would have figured it out in the US having read the September 11 report. But what we all have control over, and all had control over, is how we deal with September 11, and we can choose to deal with it as a horrible thing, and it was a horrible thing, but we could choose to deal with it in a very negative way in our lives, or we can learn and grow from it. And I think that's the issue of making a choice that helps move us forward and get away from the negative stuff. And I met some people who are very negative after September 11, and I could see years later that they were locked in a mindset that wasn't ever going to help them be more productive and help them grow   Moustafa Hamwi ** 44:13 beautifully said. And it's that mindset conversation about how to really not get stuck in your past story. However, I only talk about the mindset mastery as a second stage to the healing. And the healing is what requires us to look at the half empty so we can acknowledge what needs to work and then work on the half full. And in that, we'll have a totality of a full glass that that is always serving us, and never get stuck in diving into negativity layer after layer after layer. So it's always a yin and yang approach. It's a coherent approach. So agree on that point.   Michael Hingson ** 44:50 Yeah, it's, you know, it still becomes an issue of of growth and of choice and and I would never say. You don't pay attention to the negativity part. You've got to know that it's there before you can deal with it. And it's it's more an issue of, again, the choices that we make, and I agree with you, mindset is a part of it. And you can talk about, oh, I got this mindset. Well, do you really, how is that helping you advance, do you really have it? And it's it's so often the case that people talk a good talk, but they're not really walking it, and which is part of the problem,   Moustafa Hamwi ** 45:29 100% and not just that. It's actually having the courage and the humility to acknowledge where we are now and then working towards where we want to be. Otherwise, it's fake. It's just all the Rura hooha motivational Yes, yes, yes. You can do it. You can do it. Yeah. Well, guess what? I do a lot of extreme sports, and one of them is skydiving. Skydiving means opening the airplane door at 13,000 feet and jumping out if I don't acknowledge that. One of the things is, I'm not a bird, and I don't have wings, and for me to do that, I have to have a parachute. So so in a way, it is a it is a weakness, not to have a wings, but then when I acknowledge it and I understand it, then the strength, there's the design and the engineering that goes behind the parachute that I have to make sure it's strapped onto me, that have to make sure it's ready. Allows me now to complete that picture of the glasses half empty, where I'm not a bird, but with the parachute, my glass becomes half full,   Michael Hingson ** 46:27 right? And and the joy of skydiving, I've never done it, that's okay, but the joy of skydiving and the experience and what you see when you're doing it and you land and so on. That fills up a lot of the rest of the glass, for the moment,   Moustafa Hamwi ** 46:46 100% it's a beautiful it's one of those amazing experiences that I'd highly recommend you do. I   Michael Hingson ** 46:51 want to do it someday. I just haven't. I haven't tried it. It is, it is a doable thing. I know some blind people who have done   Moustafa Hamwi ** 46:59 it. I mean, I mean, you do a tandem anyway, the first job. So maybe this is your cue. Somebody will be strapped onto you, and they will, yeah, yeah. And   Michael Hingson ** 47:05 the other blind people who I know did it in tandem, and that's fine. I'm I still get to experience it. And I I've done a number of things like that. I've flown an airplane and and flew it for about an hour. The trick is, as I tell people, you just stay high enough that you don't hit the mountains and you're good,   47:26 amazing, and it works. And   Michael Hingson ** 47:29 I've driven a car and some other things like that, although I had some directions, that's the technology is getting better, not autonomous vehicles, but literally, it is. It is possible. There is technology so that a blind person can drive a car. If you ever want to explore that, there's a website. It's called www dot Blind Driver challenge.org, and you can actually see a car that was developed with the technology so that a person who is blind can get behind the wheel and truly get the information to drive the car. And I, I did the simulator, but I haven't driven the car, but again, a lot of adventures. I've traveled to a number of countries, and I travel alone, and it's part of what I do, and I love doing it and inspiring people. And I've spent a number of days in countries where I don't speak the language, and we had to rely on an interpreter to help with doing a speech. But it, it's so fun and so rewarding when, again, people come up and say, we really appreciate what you say   Moustafa Hamwi ** 48:35 amazing.   Michael Hingson ** 48:37 So it's, it's, it's a lot of fun. Well, tell us a little bit more about slingshot and what makes slingshot and your methodology different than other things.   Moustafa Hamwi ** 48:49 A beautiful question. Michael, it's basically the practicality of it, as as you figured with this conversation about you know, half full or half empty. My my my approach is very pragmatic and practical. So I always like to have things that number one are coherent. So slingshot really offers the healing and the mindset mastery together, the schools of thought out there generally have been kind of, you know, unipolar in a way, where they're either they're either trying to talk about coaching, which is just go, go, go mentality. You can make it. You can do it. It's all in your mind, or other schools that are just healing. And let's dig into the past, and let's be in the feeling. But that is a never ending journey. You don't know how deep the rabbit hole goes. This book offers a coherent approach where you take a step back to heal, and then you release to mindset master. The second thing that makes the approach in the book slingshot special is that it is also results driven, because myself, I've struggled a lot throughout my journey with a lot of you know, self proclaimed goo. Gurus and coaches and things like that, that promise the sun, the moon and the sky, but don't deliver results. So I've always promised myself, whenever I deliver something, it'll be measurable results. So everything in the book is structured. You read on one page, but then the practical it's not just theory. The practice is on the other page. You fill in the blanks, and you yourself will get immediate results in that moment to understand it. And third thing is that it is actually a continuous journey. So the kind of books I offer are not just theory. They're practical, and they entice you to reuse them all the time. So what happens is, okay, you do one exercise at a certain point of time, but that doesn't mean it's not a one time transformation. You get immediate results. But I say in the last chapter of the book, I say, keep brushing your teeth, and that's an analogy of you can go to the doctor to get teeth whitening, but if you don't brush your teeth daily, you don't get the consistent results. And the same thing with the book that I offer, it's a companion that allows people to consistently keep working with the book at any stage of life when they're having challenges. And   Michael Hingson ** 51:01 that makes sense to have a way to keep being able to go back and re examine whatever it is that that is guiding you along the way. And you have to do that. I think that any decent book or any decent kind of instruction that we allow ourselves to do has to be something where we can continue to do it. It isn't just a one time thing, 100% so that that makes a lot of sense. Well, you know, we're always talking about mastering our destiny and and really becoming a whole lot better than than we are. And we've also talked about the mindset. Why is it important to master your mindset on the way to mastering your destiny? If that's a relevant question to ask   Moustafa Hamwi ** 51:48 amazing question, Michael and I'll give you a simple example. What what mindset does is minds. Our mindset impacts our behaviors, and our behaviors impact our actions, and our actions impact the results. And naturally, the results feed our mindset so and that becomes either a positive loop or a negative loop. When our mindset is inspired, using your terminology, positive, I'd like to call it more inspired, determined in a mastery state, then we behave in that way, and our probabilities of taking inspired actions increases, and as the actions increase, probability of success increase. And then the more we succeed, then we start reaffirming ourselves that we are really successful. But the same thing can happen in negative way, because if we're having a negative attitude, we will not do our best, and when we don't do our best, the results probably will not be the best, which then reaffirms that things do not work for us, and it becomes a negative feedback loop. And if you think about the importance of a mindset, it's like a car driver. Imagine a supercar. Okay, what's what's your favorite? Talking about cars, what would be your favorite supercar.   Michael Hingson ** 53:01 Oh, gosh, um, not me much of a driver. Um, oh, I'll just say a Cadillac. What the heck?   Moustafa Hamwi ** 53:11 Okay, let's, let's say a super Cadillac. Yeah, the racing Cadillac has, I think it's a scene.   Michael Hingson ** 53:15 Let's say a Ferrari. Okay, that's more racing. So we'll say a Ferrari. Let's   Moustafa Hamwi ** 53:19 take a Ferrari. Okay, let's take a red Ferrari. Typical, typical image in people's head is a red Ferrari. Yeah, okay, so take a Ferrari. Now imagine that Ferrari being driven by your average taxi driver. How much will he or she be able to get out of the Ferrari like an average taxi driver can get out of a taxi. Now imagine the same Ferrari, same red color, driven by Michael Schumacher, being a professional race driver, he will get 110% out of that car, same car, same color, same everything. Two different drivers, two different results.   Michael Hingson ** 53:55 I would only say if you're comparing it to New York tab drivers, some of those guys are pretty good, but I'm just being silly. Go ahead,   Moustafa Hamwi ** 54:02 yeah. I mean, yes, but still I hear what you're saying. No, I hear what you're saying nowhere near as good. I mean, they're probably get skidding with it and move fast, but they would never be as good as somebody who never seconds. And the reality is, in between those two, the driver is the mindset. So the same you split Mustafa into two, and you put a taxi driver in to drive this as driving a taxi, and you put then a professional Formula One driver, the driver of the Mustafa's, the one that's driving more professional, will get professional results. And that's how life goes on. So that's why it's very important for us, for us to master our mindset in the pursuit of mastering destiny. Now how I discovered that is when I was doing my work with passion, early on in my speaking career. So about 10 years back, with the live passionately book, I would help people discover their passion and. Would know with absolute certainty, this is it. What I want to do. I want to do this. I want to pursue that. It's going to make me fulfilled. But then self doubt kicks in, and anxiety, fear, limiting beliefs, and suddenly they would quit on their dream before they even start, because they're so scared of the outcome, and their mindset is not ready. So suddenly they've got a dream of a Ferrari but a mindset of a rickshaw or a tuk tuk or a small car, and then they're never able to accelerate their life. So without that mindset upgrade, people don't go very far in life, or even if they stay where they are and convince themselves I'm happy. Pandemic has taught us that nobody's immune to challenges in life, because even when everybody thought they're immune, everybody got it tough and during pandemic. So reality life is going to hit hard sooner or later, and the more our mindset is upgraded and prepared, the better for us.   Michael Hingson ** 55:55 And the other part about that, let's go back to the cab driver and Michael Schumacher, the reality is, with a mindset, you can develop and change your mindset and develop a different mindset. So it is certainly possible, depending on the drive of the cab driver and his motivations or her motivations, they might develop the skills to be a professional race car driver, but they have to work at it, 100%   Moustafa Hamwi ** 56:23 100% there's that that funny story of every overnight success takes 10 years. People only see the final outcome, but they don't see how much work it took that person to prepare and train. It's the 10,000 hours that we all have to put in. And people have that dream, have that aspiration, but don't have the mental tenacity to stay at it, day in day out, to reach their goal. And this is where mindset mastery becomes very important.   Michael Hingson ** 56:49 How do people develop this kind of mindset mastery methodology, and how do they develop the ability to master their mindset?   Moustafa Hamwi ** 56:59 Beautiful question, and that part of the second part of slingshot the book, answers with a lot of exercises. However, I will give a couple of exercises that would make it easy for anybody listening to apply a little bit of those. So first question I like to ask people is, actually, what would you regret if you did not pursue your passion. So what is that regret? So if you say, I'm dreaming of becoming a speaker, a coach and an author, because I struggled with that at the beginning, remember I didn't fly out of India to become who I am today. I struggled with that, with that self limiting beliefs. So if you ask yourself, what would I regret by not pursuing that dream or that passion that would   Michael Hingson ** 57:43 I would and my answer would be, I would regret not knowing how far I could take it and what I could do with it. Beautiful,   Moustafa Hamwi ** 57:50 beautiful. And then you keep going. So what you do is, I want a long list. I want at least 10 or 12, a list of 10 or 12 items. So you keep showing going, Okay, I'm not going to discover how far can I go? I I will, I will. I will be, I will be sad. I will lose my self confidence, because then, you know, I've doubted myself, and   Michael Hingson ** 58:09 I'll always wonder, what if, what is, which is that's me, but that's what I would do? Yeah, everybody,   Moustafa Hamwi ** 58:16 not just you, because that's where, that's what happens, is the regret for what we did not do is bigger than the regret, and then we   Michael Hingson ** 58:23 talk ourselves into having taken that position, well, I wouldn't have been able to succeed. How do you know,   Moustafa Hamwi ** 58:28 deep inside, we know this is yes, exactly right. People will when you question yourself, you will lose confidence in yourself, and that's the negative self limiting belief cycle that I talked about. So what happens is you put that list of what, what would I regret if I did not pursue my passion? And then that gives you a motivation away from so you run away from that ugly space of you know, regrets, right? Then I give another exercise, and I say, What's the best that could happen if you pursue that passion and that goal? So that gives you a motivation too. So one regret is I would never know how far I could go. So now if I ask you, what's the best scenario if you pursue that passion, I succeed. You succeed. And then deposit what are the positive outcomes there. People   Michael Hingson ** 59:21 ask me to speak. They tell me that I changed their life, beautiful.   Moustafa Hamwi ** 59:25 So you get to speak, you get to change people's lives. You get to travel. You get to explore the world. And then you put that list. So now you've got a motivation too. So you've got one motivation away from the regret, one motivation towards the aspiration. And typically, there's a blockage there of but what if this does not work? Then I ask people to write a list of what's the worst that could happen if you pursue that goal or passion. So let's say you decided to speak, what's the worst that could happen?   Michael Hingson ** 59:55 I didn't get many speaking engagements. I wasn't able to change. Change lives,   Moustafa Hamwi ** 1:00:00 and I and then I didn't charge as much as I could charge, and I didn't charge as much as I could have charged, right? And then you put that list, and then, then this is a list where I'd say, Well, get over it. What? So what? So what if you didn't get as many speaking gigs, you just keep marketing and promoting. So what if you couldn't charge as much as you want, you just keep working till you can raise your prices over time. So what if you did not inspire the millions that you thought you would? Well, guess what? Inspiring one person is as good as inspiring a million. It's still a life that you have changed. So once we put all of these stories that you know, that we tell ourselves, of why I don't want to do so that away from that, what am I? What would I lose by not pursuing the passion? And then what would I gain by pursuing that passion? And what's the worst that could happen if I pursue that passion or goal? Those three things are the simplest excerpts I could give from slingshot, the book that would help people mindset, master their life.   Michael Hingson ** 1:00:53 The other well, going back to the third thing, the other part about that is, and then maybe it's the physicist in me, or the way I look at things, if I don't succeed at it, then I need to also ask myself why, and I need to teach myself by learning what maybe I'm not doing right or or what I'm doing but I could do better and figuring out how to improve. So I'm a firm believer in the fact that people can learn how to overcome challenges like that. I do agree with you, but it is also important then to take it further and say, Well, why am I not succeeding? What is the deal? Go back and learn some more   Moustafa Hamwi ** 1:01:36 100% and that's but that you can only do that when you have developed that level of mindset mastery where you're not looking at limitation, you see the exit. And that's why, if you remember I said, this book is not a one time use. It's a manual that you keep using, because every time you use it, you slowly develop the habit of not paying too much attention to the negative outcomes and focusing more on the positive outcomes, and then building a bridge of what is needed for me to to get there. So one other exercise we use there, which is, you know, follows the methodology that you're talking about, is, is called Use what you have to get what you want. So it's about putting a list of what resources do I have. And I think you are an amazingly walking example of somebody who has done that, because if you were to focus on what you don't have, you're going to go, hold on. But I but I can't see so how am I on Earth going to be able to do podcast interviews? But you did not focus on what you did not have. You focused on what you had, and you capitalized on it. Your ability to ask deep into deep, deep, deep questions, deep, reflective questions, to be passionate about it, to figure out the technology around it, capitalize on your technology background, to be able to find the tech that supports your journey. That's a beautiful example on how you can master your

A ruling from a Texas federal court recently dismantled a mandate placed by the Biden administration on states and cities to tabulate and implement strategies for curbing greenhouse gas emissions associated with transport. Critics, primarily from the Republican fold, characterized the rule, proposed by the Federal Highway Administration (FHA), as an excessive reach of federal power. These critics suggested that this move was essentially the Biden administration imposing its climate-focused policy on more traditionally conservative states. This idea resulted in Texas taking legal action in December to invalidate the rule, a move which gained favor with the court this past Wednesday. The court noted that a federal administrative body does not have the ability to act without the sanction of Congress. The ruling stated that the FHA created a rule that imposed requirements on states to establish, report, and set progressively reducing goals for the carbon dioxide releases from vehicles using the interstate and national-highway systems. This was deemed as an overreach of their authority. Texas put the compliant forward, stating that the administrative agency did not have the authority to implement such a rule. The court concurred with this viewpoint, citing the statutory language and context that clearly demonstrated the lack of requisite authority. The Judge, James Hendrix, appointed by Trump, penned this decision in a 49-page file. Judge Hendrix stressed on the point that the Department of Transportation made unsuccessful attempts to override the clear legislative limit on approved performance measures. He noted these measures should be restricted to those that evaluate the physical state and efficacy of the national and interstate highway systems. Judge Hendrix emphasized that for any mandate from the federal government obliging states to undertake greenhouse gas assessments, an amendment to an existing law or the execution of entirely new legislation is mandatory. The law in question that might call for an amendment is the 23 U.S. Code Section 150, related to national-highways and interstates. The opinion of Hendrix was consistent with a popular understanding of governmental overreach. Earlier, Congressional authority would be required if the federal government were to oblige states to invest the necessary time and resources to determine and record emissions and to define gradually reducing emission goals, he said. Judge Hendrix stressed, 'If the citizens, through their elected representation in Congress, determine that states should allocate the resources toward monitoring and reporting on greenhouse gas emissions, and setting targets for their progressive reduction, then they may do so by changing Section 150 or passing a new legislation. It is not the place of an agency to make this judgement on behalf of the people.' The court's decision was hailed by Republican Congressional representatives. Significant among them were Sam Graves (R-MO), the Chairman of the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, and Rick Crawford (R-AR), the Chairman of the Highways and Transit Subcommittee. The celebration of the court's decision among these Republican leaders was due to their belief that this was an absolute example of overreach on part of the Biden administration. They commended the court for its affirmation that a 'federal administrative agency cannot act without congressional permission.' Graves and Crawford jointly stated, 'From the outset, this was clearly a case of the Biden Administration exceeding its remit, and we applaud the Court's ruling.' They noted that the agency acted without the requisite Congressional mandate, which makes the overreach even more egregious. They pointed out that the inclusion of a greenhouse gas performance measure prerequisite was explicitly declined when the infrastructure law was formulated. Thus, they argued that the Biden administration's rule-making was an unlawful attempt to sidestep Congress and impose this burden on every state and community in the nation, regardless of their unique circumstances. The sense of victory reverberated among the states that held similar views to the notions of the Republican leaders. Their belief was that the federal mandate, particularly without the prerequisite legal authority, constituted an undue imposition on the states. With this decision, those in agreement perceive it as a necessary check on the powers of the executive branch. For these states and cities, the ruling protects their sovereignty, allowing them to make decisions best suited to their specific circumstances rather than being subject to a one-size-fits-all requirement. Above all, this particular case offers an insightful study into the ongoing debate about federal overreach. The issue of greenhouse gas emissions and the related regulations are indeed crucial discussions for our time, but they ought not to be imposed in a way that overrides the necessary due processes set in place to ensure balance of power.

For businesses, tax season can be especially stressful, given the weight of information to prepare and consider, along with various changes coming from the IRS. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 amended Code Section 174, whereby requiring companies to capitalize and amortize costs for their R&D expenses starting in the 2022 tax year. Prior to this amendment, companies were able to fully deduct their qualified R&D expenses in a given tax year. What do companies need to know about their taxes regarding R&D expenses moving forward? In a new episode of “On the Shop Floor,” hosts Colby Horn and Jody Allred, both Partners-in-Charge of Manufacturing, Distribution, and Retail Services at Weaver, interviewed Nancy Imholte, Director of R&D Tax Credit Services, and Kurtis Dixon, Tax Services Partner. The group discussed steps they recommend to their clients to implement the changes to 174 and how it will affect this and future year's tax filings. The four also talked about …. The requirements of Code Section 174 and some of the uncertainty about what is and is not included; The impact on tax provision calculations for C-Corps; What this amendment now means for the future of expenses for R&D; and The need to keep clients informed about how Code Section 174 will impact the way they file taxes this year. Imholte explained the consequences of the changes, “It's just trying to figure out a way to show that at a minimum you've got to capitalize whatever you have qualified as R&D tax credit cost. But it's really broader than that [qualifying R&D tax credit cost] of what should be capitalized. It's important to make sure they are actually making the right change in their reporting. If we're not their tax preparer, their tax preparer needs to be made aware of that change and it needs to be reported on returns.” Imholte went on to mention that companies need to look at their R&D credits “a lot earlier to make sure that when they are filing their extensions that all of their payments are made to minimize any penalties…and then that if you have tax provision that you will need that information as well so that you can have all of that included in your [calculations].” With regards to the impact on tax provisions calculations, Dixon added, “In theory, you're going to pay more taxes on your tax return. You have this big expense that now, for tax purposes, is being amortized over this 5-year, maybe 15-year period, depending on what it is. So, you're going to have higher taxable income, lower expenses, and you're going to have this deferred tax asset that will flip. Nancy Imholte has 20 years of public accounting experience, 11 of which have been with Weaver, and currently leads research and development (R&D) tax credit services for Weaver. She works with clients to determine their eligibility for R&D credits and performs the necessary calculations. Nancy also provides tax planning consultation and helps clients resolve issues with federal and state authorities. Nancy earned a bachelor's degree in accounting from Texas Lutheran University. Kurtis Dixon has more than 15 years of experience in public accounting and focuses on providing tax compliance, planning and consulting services to Corporations, S Corporations, Partnerships and individuals. Kurtis also has experience with preparation and review of income tax provisions. He earned his bachelor's degree in accounting, master's degree in taxation and master of business administration degrees all from the University of Texas at Arlington.

We hardly ever focus on a particular Internal Revenue Code Section on the Wealth & Law Podcast, but we think that Section 2104(b) deserves to be special. In our opinion, this is one of the most nerve-racking sections in the Code for non-residents and non-citizens. Brent and Rachel dive into the perils of Section 2104(b) and how it could result in disastrous federal estate tax consequences.

This podcast is provided by Ben Glass and Steve Emmert www.BenGlassReferrals.com - www.Virginia-Appeals.com   Granted Appeal Summary Case FAIRFAX COUNTY POLICE DEPARTMENT, ET AL. v. HARRISON NEAL (Record Number 191129) From The Circuit Court of Fairfax County; R. Smith, Judge. Counsel Elizabeth D. Teare, Karen L. Gibbons, and Kimberly P. Baucom (Fairfax County Attorney’s Office); Stuart A. Raphael, Trevor S. Cox, and Matthew R. McGuire (Hunton Andrews Kurth LLP) for appellant. Edward S. Rosenthal, Lana M. Manitta, and David C. Rohrbach (Rich Rosenthal Brincefield Manitta Dzubin & Kroeger, PLLC); Eden Heilman and Jennifer Safstrom (American Civil Liberties Union Foundation of Virginia, Inc.) for appellee. Assignments of Error The circuit court erred in concluding that the Department’s ALPR system is an “information system” under the Data Act because the ALPR system does not itself contain “the name, personal number, or other identifying particulars of a data subject.” Va. Code Ann. § 2.2-3801. The ALPR system does not become “a record-keeping process” under the Data Act simply because police officers have the ability [to] take a license plate number stored in the ALPR system and manually enter it into other databases, not maintained by the Department, to discover the identity of the vehicle owner. If the ALPR system is construed to include information that the Department could potentially access through the NCIC, VCIN, and the DMV databases, which can only be accessed with a valid criminal justice purpose, then the Court should decide anew, based on the changed factual predicate, whether the ALPR system is exempt under Code § 2.2-3802(7) notwithstanding Neal I’s contrary conclusion. The circuit court erred in ruling that the Department’s creation of an “information system” consisting of passively acquired ALPR data violates the Data Act. The circuit court erred in enjoining the Department from creating and maintaining an information system that consists of information captured by ALPR cameras. http://www.courts.state.va.us/courts/scv/appeals/191129.pdf   Granted Appeal Summary Case HARRISON NEAL v. FAIRFAX COUNTY POLICE DEPARTMENT, ET AL. (Record Number 191127) From The Circuit Court of Fairfax County; R. Smith, Judge. Counsel Edward S. Rosenthal, Lana M. Manitta, and David C. Rohrbach (Rich Rosenthal Brincefield Manitta Dzubin & Kroeger, PLLC); Eden Heilman and Jennifer Safstrom (American Civil Liberties Union Foundation of Virginia, Inc.) for appellant. Elizabeth D. Teare, Karen L. Gibbons, and Kimberly P. Baucom (Fairfax County Attorney’s Office) for appellee. Assignments of Error The trial court abused its discretion under Code Section 2.2-3809 in awarding less than 11% of the reasonable and necessary attorneys’ fees and costs proven by detailed billing records and affidavits. The trial court erred by excluding the affidavit of Bernard J. DiMuro, Neal’s attorneys’ fees expert. Assignment of Cross-Error The trial court’s award of attorneys’ fees and costs was error because the circuit court erred in concluding that the Department violated the Data Act, and in issuing an injunction. http://www.courts.state.va.us/courts/scv/appeals/191127.pdf

Give your children a purpose, not money. Toby Mathis and Jeff Webb of Anderson Advisors answer tax questions related to passive versus active income reported on payroll for people of all ages to flipping properties and real estate investments. Do you have a tax question? Submit it to taxtuesday@andersonadvisors.   Highlights/Topics:  If I have a small business, do I need to make it an LLC to hire my children, or can I just be an independent contractor and hire them? LLC is not required for small businesses, but it is recommended for liability protection; your children’s wages should be run through payroll, even if they don’t have social security numbers I just bought a house, paid 30k in cash, and spent about $15k in rehab. What expenses of this deal can I write off, besides the rehab cost? Depends on whether you are flipping the property or using it as an investment property; capitalize all of it because you can’t write off the expenses as repairs If I am a real estate professional in 2020, can I offset previous years’ passive losses in this year? No, only for 2020 and only for years you were a real estate professional Can you put a primary residence into a land trust and/or LLC to maintain anonymity, if you have a commercial bank loan? If not, are there other options available? LLC or land trust is possible, but it’s not the best idea because it could impact homestead     For all questions/answers discussed, sign up to be a Platinum member to view the replay!   Go to iTunes to leave a review of the Tax Tuesday podcast.    Resources:   The Tax Toolbox (only $595; regularly $1,500) http://aba.link/ttb920 Tax-Wise Workshop https://andersonadvisors.com/tax-wise-workshop-for-businesses-investors/ 1031 Exchange https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-news/fs-08-18.pdf Real Estate Professional Requirements https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-utl/33-Real%20Estate%20Professionals.pdf Wills and Trusts https://andersonadvisors.com/living_trusts/ Opportunity Zones https://www.irs.gov/credits-deductions/opportunity-zones-frequently-asked-questions Qualified Opportunity Fund https://www.irs.gov/credits-deductions/businesses/invest-in-a-qualified-opportunity-fund Form 8996 https://www.irs.gov/forms-pubs/about-form-8996 Capital Gains Exclusion/Section 121 https://www.irs.gov/taxtopics/tc701 CARES Act https://www.sbc.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/guide-to-the-cares-act Individual Retirement Arrangements (IRAs)  https://www.irs.gov/retirement-plans/individual-retirement-arrangements-iras Traditional and Roth IRAs https://www.irs.gov/retirement-plans/traditional-and-roth-iras Small Business Administration (SBA) https://www.sba.gov/ 1099 Form https://www.irs.gov/businesses/small-businesses-self-employed/am-i-required-to-file-a-form-1099-or-other-information-return Form W-2 https://www.irs.gov/forms-pubs/about-form-w-2 Self-Employment Tax https://www.irs.gov/taxtopics/tc554 Bonus Depreciation https://www.irs.gov/newsroom/new-rules-and-limitations-for-depreciation-and-expensing-under-the-tax-cuts-and-jobs-act Depreciation Recapture https://www.investopedia.com/terms/d/depreciationrecapture.asp Cost Segregation https://www.irs.gov/businesses/cost-segregation-audit-techniques-guide-chapter-1-introduction Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) https://www.irs.gov/tax-reform Healthcare Reform (Affordable Care Act) https://www.healthcare.gov/ 26 U.S. Code Section 469(c)(7)  https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/26/469 26 U.S. Code Section 280A https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/26/280A MileIQ https://www.mileiq.com/ Mar-a-Lago https://www.maralagoclub.com/ Schedule A https://www.irs.gov/forms-pubs/about-schedule-a-form-1040 Schedule C https://www.irs.gov/forms-pubs/about-schedule-c-form-1040 Federal Reserve Economic Data https://fred.stlouisfed.org/ Memorandum on Deferring Payroll Tax Obligations in Light of the Ongoing COVID-19 Disaster https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/memorandum-deferring-payroll-tax-obligations-light-ongoing-covid-19-disaster/ Economic Injury Disaster Loan (EIDL) https://www.sba.gov/funding-programs/loans/coronavirus-relief-options/economic-injury-disaster-loan-emergency-advance Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) https://home.treasury.gov/system/files/136/PPP--Fact-Sheet.pdf Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) Flexibility Act https://www.investopedia.com/paycheck-protection-program-flexibility-act-of-2020-an-overview-4846944 Credits and Deductions https://www.irs.gov/credits-deductions-for-individuals Charitable Organizations https://www.irs.gov/charities-non-profits/charitable-organizations The Private Vault by Greg Boots https://www.amazon.com/Private-Vault-Gregory-J-Boots-ebook/dp/B00G71IKNA Toby Mathis http://tobymathis.com/about-toby-mathis/ Anderson Advisors https://andersonadvisors.com/ Anderson Advisors Events https://andersonadvisors.com/all-events/ Events@andersonadvisors.com Anderson Advisors Tax and Asset Protection Event https://andersonadvisors.com/asset-protection/ Anderson Advisors on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCX5nh607M8hSBLiMB9MgbIQ Anderson Advisors on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/AndersonBusinessAdvisors/ Anderson Advisors Podcast https://andersonadvisors.com/podcast/

Do you know everything there is to know about tangible property regulations? Did you know they even existed? You’re not alone because 90-95% of building owners and investors have never heard of them. In this episode, Toby Mathis of Anderson Advisors talks to Kevin Jerry, Executive Vice President of Sales at Cost Segregation Services, Inc. (CSSI). Kevin is a Master of Taxation (MST) and nationally recognized speaker on cost segregation and tangible property. Highlights/Topics:  What are tangible property regulations? Extremely taxpayer-friendly regulations that represent biggest tax change for industry since 1986 What’s the benefit of cost segregation for clients? Short depreciation life for many assets for a bigger tax deduction What is cost segregation? When you separate property that can be removed from a building, instead of the structure of the building How are new tangible property regulations different from those before 2014? For assets currently in service; when a repair/expenditure is made, if you take the expenditure, regulations determine if you spread it over 27.5 or 39 years, or expense it in first year What are some things you can write off right now? A lot of expenses by breaking a building into components What are the three safe harbors?  De Minimis: If an invoice has an item on it of less than $2,500, generally, it can be expensed. Small Taxpayer: If you take the cost of your building minus land and take the lesser of 2% of that cost for $10,000. Routine Maintenance: Based on experience levels, industry standards, and warranties, expense the repair/replacement of a component.  What if safe harbors don’t apply? There are three other rules: per property, component, or taxpayer; you can’t do both a safe harbor and rule, pick one or the other How do you know if your CPA knows what they're doing?

The rules surrounding insider trading and securities violations are extensive and can be complicated. In order to determine if an executive selling or buying stock in their own company or if a company member trading on information provided to them, either directly or indirectly, is acting appropriately, it’s important to become familiar with the securities rules. Joining me on the podcast to shed light on this topic is Sarah Aberg, an attorney in Sheppard Mullin’s New York office. Sarah’s practice encompasses securities regulation, compliance, and litigation as well as internal investigations and white collar defense. What We Discuss in this Episode: Who is considered an “insider” for insider trading purposes? The two key statutes to be aware of when it comes to securities fraud law How does a court determine if a person is engaged in insider trading? Why is there a restraint on executives trading on information that has not been disclosed to the public? What effect does that have on the market? Do insider trading rules only apply to public companies or do they apply to private companies as well? When a tippee receives insider information and acts on it, should he/she be liable for insider trading? How is that determination made by the court? What is 18 U.S. Code Section 1348 and how does it allow for criminal violations of insider trading rules? Along with knowing federal securities fraud statutes, it’s also important to be familiar with state statutes What happened in the Equifax data breach and what can executives learn from the incident? How can companies prevent and control for insider trading? What are short swings and how do they affect an insider’s ability to buy or sell shares within a certain time period? What are Rule 10b5-1 plans and how do they protect insiders? Resources Mentioned: Dirks v. SEC (1983)  United States v. Newman (2014)  United States v. Martoma (2018)  Salman v. United States (2016)  SEC Rule 10b-5  Contact Information: Sarah’s Sheppard Mulling attorney profile  Thank you for listening!

Demsystifying California Civil Code Section 1542 release agreements California litigation attorney Steve Vondran discusses the 1542 general release that pops up in business, real estate, personal injury and intellectual property settlements in CA.  From settling a wrongful foreclosure case to a copyright or breach of contract, a settlement agreement will normally ask you to "waive all your claims whether known or unknown, anticipated or unanticipated, and waive any and all rights under section 1542."  The Vondran Legal Hour podcast show discusses what the waiver of 1542 civil code is, and how to be careful in reviewing your settlement agreements.  You should contact us for a low flat rate fee legal consultation: 1.  Before you sign any settlement agreements; 2.  Before you think about filing a new state or federal lawsuit where you have previously waived section 1542 rights. It's very important to understand that there can be grounds to try to "break," "bust" or "invalidate" 1542 release including (fraud, economic duress, mistake, misapprehension, bad timing, financial elder abuse) and others.  Steve Vondran, the business and real estate lawyer touches on these in this litigation warrior podcast.

California Civil Code 2924.19 defined Attorney Steve Vondran explains what California Civil Code Section 2924.19 means.  This is a part of the California Homeowner's Bill of Rights ("HBOR") and is a remedy provision for dealing with "material" violations of the law.  There is a difference between whether or not you file suit before a non-judicial foreclosure sale (seek a TRO, Injunction, file lis pendens and seek attorney fees).  Post-sale, your rights might be limited to seeking damages, and attorney fees.  If you can show willful, reckless, or intentional misconduct you can seek triple (or "treble") actual damages (meaning three times whatever your damages are), or $50,000 in statutory damages, whichever is greater.   The HBOR is a very important law that could give you significant legal rights when you are facing the loss of your home.  If you are facing "dual tracking" problems, or violations of Cal. civ. code 2923.5 or believe you have robosigned documents (inaccurate and incomplete documents, or filing foreclosure documents where the documents are not based on competent and reliable evidence, and/or the right to foreclose is not property substantiated), these things can create grounds to file a state or federal lawsuit against your lender, loan servicer, beneficiary, or their authoritzed agents.
