Podcasts about Collected

What if the very thing you've been apologizing for is actually your greatest advantage?Maybe you've changed industries. Switched directions. Collected experiences that don't seem to fit neatly together on a resume. While specialists often have a clear roadmap, many of us have careers that look more like a winding trail with unexpected turns along the way.In this episode of The Potentialist Podcast, I sit down with coach, leadership consultant and author Siobhán O'Riordan to explore why nonlinear career paths may be exactly what today's world needs. Drawing from her book, Reframe: How Generalists Thrive in a Changing World, Siobhán makes the case that generalists aren't scattered or unfocused. They're often the people connecting ideas, solving complex problems and helping organizations navigate change.In our conversation, you'll discover:• Why generalists make up nearly half the workforce, yet often feel invisible• How "looking around the corner" helps leaders spot opportunities others miss• How to tell your career story with confidence, even if your path doesn't look linear• What generalists need from managers, mentors and workplaces to do their best workIf you've ever wondered how to explain your twists, turns, pivots or unexpected detours, this conversation will help you see them through a completely different lens.Your career path may not be messy after all. It might just be evidence that you're built to connect dots others can't see.

According to the defense's appellate filings, a man connected to Abby Williams admitted in a police interview to practicing pagan rituals that included animal sacrifice and human bloodletting. He told them he owned a .40 caliber firearm. Officers never collected the weapon. The Delphi Police erased the only recording of his interview. His work alibi was based on a badge swipe that officers refused to confirm with video his employer offered to share. He was marked "cleared." For years afterward, tipsters called in reporting his social media posts — images of young girls appearing deceased with sticks over their bodies. An ISP Trooper found alarming similarities to the Delphi crime scene and urged his superiors to investigate further. They refused. The suspect's associate, a self-described leader of a local pagan group, told officers he knew the murder woods "very well." That interview was never recorded. His alibi went entirely unchecked for over six years. According to the defense filings, the first suspect told his wife in 2018 that his associate killed Abby "with others" and told her to keep quiet. Neither man has been charged with any crime connected to these murders. The trial court excluded all of this from the jury. This episode walks through every ignored lead, every destroyed record, and every decision that waved these suspects through while Abby and Libby waited for someone to do the work.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

This talk explores the culminating factor of the Eightfold Path—Right Concentration—and the profound power of a steady, unified mind. In a world of constant distraction and fragmented attention, we investigate how deep focus becomes a gateway to inner stillness, clarity, and freedom. Drawing from classical Buddhist teachings and lived experience, this talk reveals how training attention is not just about meditation, but about reclaiming the depth, presence, and aliveness of your entire life.   You'll learn how to strengthen and stabilize attention through practical, time-tested methods, how to work skillfully with common obstacles like restlessness and doubt, and how concentration naturally matures from effort into ease. You'll also discover how a steady mind supports insight, emotional resilience, and a deep sense of well-being—opening the door to a more fully lived and awakened life.

The City of Johannesburg says it has collected close to R100 million in a few months after clamping down on illegal outdoor advertising. This is a sharp rise from the roughly R4 million generated annually before enforcement began earlier this year. Officials say the campaign targets non-compliant billboards and aims to ensure businesses contribute fairly to service delivery. We spoke to Joburg Property Company CEO, Musah Makhunga.

I Ching · Book of Changes · Part 1 of 2 (Hexagrams 1-45) The Book of Changes (Traditional: 易經; Simplified: 易经; Legge: Yî King, Wade-Giles: I Ching; Pīnyīn: Yìjīng; Bopomofo: ㄧˋㄐㄧㄥ; Korean: 역경; Japanese: 易経; Vietnamese: Kinh Dịch) Fúxī (伏羲), King Tāng of Shāng (商湯), King Wén of Zhōu (周文王), his son the Duke of Zhōu (周公旦), and Confucius (孔子) have traditionally been credited as the originators of the trigrams (八卦 bāguà), hexagrams (卦 guà), hexagram statements (彖 tuàn), line statements (爻辭 yáocí), and Ten Wings (十翼) commentaries. "The I Ching does not offer itself with proofs and results; it does not vaunt itself, nor is it easy to approach. Like a part of nature, it waits until it is discovered." — Carl Jung Different combinations of three yang (⚊) and yin (⚋) lines create the eight trigrams, namely: ☰ (乾 Qián Heaven, the sky. S. Untiring strength; power.) or (Father. NW) ☱ (兌 Duì Lake, or marsh. Collected water. SE. Pleasure; complacent satisfaction.) or (Youngest daughter. W) ☲ (離 Lí Fire, as in lightning; the sun. E. Brightness; elegance.) or (Second daughter. S) ☳ (震 Zhèn Thunder. NE. Moving, exciting power.) or (Oldest son. E) ☴ (巽 Xùn Wind; wood. SW. Flexibility; penetration.) or (Oldest daughter. SE) ☵ (坎 Kǎn Water, as in rain, clouds, springs, streams, and defiles. The moon. NW. Peril; difficulty.) or (Second son. N) ☶ (艮 Gèn Hills, or mountains. NW. Resting; the act of arresting.) or (Youngest son. NE) ☷ (坤 Kūn The Earth. N. Capaciousness; submission.) or (Mother. SW) When three lines are added to a trigram the resultant pairs of trigrams constitute the sixty-four hexagrams. The lower trigram is called 'the inner,' and the one above 'the outer.' The lines are numbered from one to six, commencing with the lowest. To denote the number of it and of the sixth line, the terms for 'commencing' and 'topmost' are used. The intermediate lines are simply 'second,' 'third,' &c. As the lines must be either whole or divided, technically called strong and weak, yang and yin, this distinction is indicated by the application to them of the numbers nine and six. All whole lines are nine, all divided lines, six. The Book of Changes is included as one of the Five Classics (五經) of the Confucian canon and Confucius said, "If some years were added to my life, I would give fifty to the study of the Yì, and might then escape falling into great errors." (Analects, VII.16) Scottish translator James Legge was a Hong Kong missionary, Non-Conformist Pastor of the English Union Church, and the first professor of Chinese studies at Oxford University. The original manuscript of his translation was nearly destroyed after being soaked in the Red Sea for a month.

"I'm not suggesting that repression has lost its place as a fundamental defense mechanism. Repression remains central, coherent, and fundamental to the founding of the unconscious. It is what makes certain contents inaccessible to consciousness, and what we access as psychoanalysts through dreams, play, symptoms, and associations. That remains true. What I was observing, and I'm still observing more now, is something different. When I see children and adolescents that are more capable to work on a task while doing homework, and at the same time listening to music, and at the same time texting with somebody - I don't think that they are real. This is my point. I don't think they are real. This multitasking way of living is part of life today… The clinical question for us becomes this - when does this multiplicity become a symptom? When does it interfere with the capacity for depth, for intimacy, for a sustained emotional contact?  I think that this is what we need to see, to study and to differentiate in our consulting room."    Episode Description: We consider how changes in our culture may impact the individual's intrapsychic space and from that the nature of the psychoanalytic encounter. Virginia comments on the diminishing of the paternal symbolizing function and with that a change in the 'rites of passage' that adolescents traverse - now the rituals are "created by the young people themselves" as contrasted with those passed down by their elders. This, she feels, has resulted in "intimacy becoming spectacle" and for many, the analytic session is where "the construction of intimacy may begin."  She shares clinical material with us from 40 years ago and contrasts the nature of her interventions with her contemporary treatments. Now, "I appreciate the mystery in the process and that we create meaning with the patient." Virginia closes with seeing analytic treatment as "an invitation to a process of thinking that, to remain alive, must be rethought."   Our Guests: Virginia Ungar M.D., training analyst at the Buenos Aires Psychoanalytic Association (APdeBA). She specializes in child and adolescent analysis, was the Chair of the IPA's Child and Adolescent Psychoanalysis Committee (COCAP) and of the IPA Committee for Integrated Training.

Our Lang Fairy Tale episode for today is a double bill, The Enchanted Pig and The Norka.The Enchanted Pig is a very well known Romanian folk tale, which appears in many different forms, and it's a whole lot of fun! The story compares to East of the Sun and West of the Moon - and possibly wins out against it? Collected by the father of Romanian folklore Petre Ispirescu, we think it's one of the good ones.We follow that on with The Norka, which the Langs took from one of Alexander Afanasyev's many collections of Ukrainian and Russian tales. If you're wondering what a 'norka' is, you might not leave the story any the wiser, though it's an excellent adventure with palaces hidden in eggs, helpful birds, and quite possibly a polyamorous wedding at the end.As ever, we talk about the stories, their history and their tale types - and try out a few more silly voices for our collection!If you are unfamiliar with the Lang Fairy Tales, these seminal collections were assembled between 1889 and 1913 by a married couple, folklorists and translators Nora and Andrew Lang, with most of the work done to compile them completed by Nora, also known as Leonora Blanche Alleyne.Assembled and published in 12 colour-coded "Fairy Books," the corpus the Langs put together included 798 fairy tales from across cultures, many of which had never before been translated into English.They were amongst the most influential books of their time, changing the course of children's literature - although they're hardly just for children, and often deal with quite challenging concepts.Today, purchasing a complete set of the Lang Fairy Books in good condition costs over £4,000 ($5,000+).Thankfully, the collections are all out of copyright, meaning that we can now tell these stories, in podcast form, many for the first time, and share them with a global audience, for free.Our plan is to release the stories between main series of Three Ravens, performing them straight (though with plenty of silly voices) letting the tales speak for themselves in all their madcap, sharp-edged, often quite bizarre glory.The only edits we have made are to amend some culturally-insensitive epithets, which typically pertain to ethnicity, with any such edits made by Eleanor Conlon.Three Ravens is an English Myth and Folklore podcast hosted by award-winning writers Martin Vaux and Eleanor Conlon.Released on Mondays, each weekly episode focuses on one of England's 39 historic counties, exploring the history, folklore and traditions of the area, from ghosts and mermaids to mythical monsters, half-forgotten heroes, bloody legends, and much, much more. Then, and most importantly, the pair take turns to tell a new version of an ancient story from that county - all before discussing what that tale might mean, where it might have come from, and the truths it reveals about England's hidden past...Bonus Episodes are released on Thursdays plus Local Legends episodes on Saturdays - interviews with acclaimed authors, folklorists, podcasters and historians with unique perspectives on that week's county.With a range of exclusive content on Patreon, too, including audio ghost tours, the Three Ravens Newsletter, and monthly Three Ravens Film Club episodes about folk horror films from across the decades, why not join us around the campfire and listen in?REGISTER FOR THE TALES OF SOUTHERN ENGLAND TOURVisit our website Join our Patreon Social media channels and sponsors Hosted on Acast.

Lauren's Little Bedtime Stories High on Mount Fumble, where pine trees grow in crooked spirals and streams sing to themselves, lives a small, round bear named Bram with a very unusual hobby - collecting clouds in glass jars. His cave shelves hold everything from a grumbly little storm cloud to his most prized possession: a breathtaking jar of pink-and-gold sunset. But one morning, the sunset cloud is gone. Bram follows a trail of pink mist all the way to the mountain's peak - past a family of riddle-demanding geese, a wobbly log bridge, and a very enthusiastic marmot narrator - only to find his cloud floating free in the middle of the real sky at golden hour. What he discovers there is far more beautiful than anything he could ever fit in a jar. Every Lauren's Little Bedtime Story includes: Calming Relaxation: Gentle breathing exercises to help your body relax. Original Bedtime Lullaby: Wind-down time as Lauren sings you to sleep. A Full Original Bedtime Story: A whimsical story read aloud by Lauren.

Paul Tarantino is the CEO of Byte Federal, one of the largest Bitcoin ATM networks in the country. Eighteen months ago on this show he told us Bitcoin wins by default. That Bitcoin is the last currency standing. That AI-generated fraud would break the credit-based payment system. He was right on all three. Now legislators across the country are coming for Bitcoin ATMs and framing it as consumer protection. Paul has spent three years building the most comprehensive data-driven defense of this industry anyone has produced. He's here to show you what's actually going on. If you use a Bitcoin ATM — or know someone who does — this is the conversation to send them. We discuss: Why the FCC has collected $6,790 of $208 million in VoIP fraud fines — and why Bitcoin ATMs are being scapegoated The regulatory asymmetry nobody is talking about — 98.8% of ATM transactions are legitimate Why banning Bitcoin ATMs is a wealth transfer from the 24.6 million unbanked Americans who use them The exit door Wall Street is trying to close before you walk through it Subscribe so you never miss an episode. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Every public company's R&D number is a lie hiding in plain sight. Not because anyone falsified it. Because the number was never built to tell the truth. It was built to satisfy an accounting standard written in 1974. And for fifty years, boards, analysts, and CEOs have been making billion-dollar innovation decisions based on a number designed by accountants to solve a different problem entirely. Here's what makes this genuinely strange. The real number exists. The government has been collecting it from every major US company for decades. It would answer the question every innovation leader and investor actually needs answered. And it is locked away by federal law. Confidential. Never published. Never seen by the people who need it most. It's sitting in a federal database right now. And there's a way to estimate it for any public company, without asking anyone's permission. I know it exists because I spent years building it from the inside. Why the R&D Signal Was Blurry When I was running innovation at HP, we discovered this problem firsthand. We had a connection between R&D investment and gross margin that held up across decades of HP history. Better than anything Wall Street was using. But the signal was blurry. None of us could figure out why. The answer came from a question someone on the team asked almost as an aside. What if R&D isn't one thing? Research and Development Are Not the Same Thing Think about what actually lives inside a typical R&D budget. There's a team somewhere investigating whether a new approach could enable a capability that doesn't exist yet. No product defined. No spec written. Asking whether something is even possible. And there's a team building the next version of a product that ships in eighteen months. Spec locked. Timeline set. Engineering executing against a defined target. Both show up on the same line in the budget. Both get called R&D. Both count equally toward the number that gets reviewed every quarter. They are not the same thing. One is Research. The other is Development. Research is the work you do when you don't yet know what you're building. The output is understanding. New knowledge that might enable future products nobody has designed yet. You can't know exactly what you'll find. If you already knew, it wouldn't be research. Development is the work you do when you know exactly what you're building. The spec exists. The product is defined. The question isn't what to make. It's whether it can be made, on time, at cost, at quality. One creates the future. The other delivers the present. And for fifty years, every public company in America has been required to report them as one indistinguishable number. When we split the HP data along that line, Research on one side and Development on the other, the signal sharpened immediately. Research spend, measured against gross margin three to five years later, was a meaningfully stronger predictor than the combined number had ever been. The blur hadn't been in the gross margin data. It had been in the R&D number itself. Two fundamentally different things, averaged together, producing a number that looked precise and predicted almost nothing. But splitting R from D at the company level was only the beginning. The model was still lying to us. Just more quietly. Why Company-Level R&D Splits Still Mislead Even with the split, something was still soft. HP wasn't one business. It was dozens. Printers, PCs, servers, software, each running on different timelines, different technology cycles, different competitive dynamics. What if the R/D split meant something different depending on where it was applied? We pushed it to the product line level. Then further, to the platform level within product lines. Printers were the clearest example. HP's printer business wasn't one story. There were platforms built on established technology. Mature ink systems, proven print head chemistry, products that had been shipping for years. And there were platforms built on genuinely new core technology. New chemistry. New mechanisms. New approaches to fundamental problems that nobody had solved yet. Research investment by platform told a completely different story than Research investment by product category. The Research going into new technology platforms had a completely different relationship to future margin than Research going into mature platforms. Different time horizons. Different risk profiles. Different margin implications years down the road. Laptops told the same story. A traditional consumer laptop line and a high-performance portable workstation weren't the same investment. One was Development-heavy. Defined product, known market, engineering executing against spec. The other had genuine Research behind it. Unsolved thermal problems, new form factor constraints, and materials questions that hadn't been answered yet. When a single R&D assumption is applied across all of that, treating every dollar the same regardless of what it actually does, the signal disappears into the average. Peanut butter across the portfolio. The model only got honest when it got specific. Research by platform and Development by platform, matched against the margin performance of those specific platforms years later. Which platforms were building future margin? Which ones were running on margin that past Research had already bought? We could see it because we were inside the company. The question is whether anyone on the outside could ever see the same thing. The R&D Data the Government Collects and Won't Release Outside the internal budget process, everyone sees the same thing: a single line on the income statement. The US government recognized decades ago that the combined R&D number was analytically useless. So they built a system to collect the real one. The National Science Foundation runs a survey called the Business Enterprise Research and Development survey. The BERD survey. Every year, roughly 47,500 US companies are required to report their R&D spending broken into three categories: basic research, applied research, and experimental development. The split that every board and every investor needs to see. Mandatory. Collected. Verified. And then locked away. The firm-level data is confidential under federal law. The NSF publishes only industry-level aggregates. So every company fills out this survey and reports its real R/D split to the government. That data sits in a federal database. And the boards, investors, and analysts who need it most cannot access it. Researchers at Northwestern and Boston University were given rare access to that confidential data. What they found is striking. When companies face financial pressure and cut R&D, they don't cut Development. They cut Research. Almost entirely. Development barely moves. Every earnings squeeze. Every activist campaign. Every cost optimization program. Systematically targeting the one part of R&D that builds future margin. And because the combined number barely moves, nobody on the outside sees it happening. That's not a coincidence. That's the accounting standard doing exactly what it was designed to do: produce one clean number for the income statement. It was never asked to protect the future. How to Estimate the Research-to-Development Split Without Inside Access So what can actually be done without access to the locked data? More than most people realize. Step 1. Find the industry baseline. The aggregate BERD data is public at the sector level. Ask an AI tool for the Research-to-Development ratio for the relevant industry. That's the benchmark. Everything else gets measured against it. A company spending 8% of its R&D on Research in an industry where the average is 25% is telling you something the combined number never would. Step 2. Look at the gross margin trend compared to peers. Gross margin over time is the most honest external signal of Research health. A company with a declining margin relative to peers, while reporting flat or growing R&D spend, is almost certainly shifting the mix toward Development. The math works in the other direction, too. An AI tool can pull this comparison for any public company in minutes. This is exactly the signal that was invisible at HP until it was too late. Step 3. Look at patent trends compared to peers over time. Patents are an imperfect but useful directional indicator. Not because more patents always means more Research. It doesn't. But a sustained decline in patent output relative to peers, alongside flat R&D spend, suggests the investment is maintaining existing products rather than creating new knowledge. Combined with the gross margin trend, it starts to triangulate where the split actually sits. None of these three steps requires access to an internal budget. All of them can be done in an afternoon with public data and an AI tool. Together, they produce a working picture of the R/D split that the income statement was never designed to reveal. What the R&D Split Revealed at HP That No One Outside Could See When Hurd took over in 2005, HP was spending $3.5 billion on R&D. Roughly 4% of revenue. By 2009, his last full year as CEO, that had dropped to $2.8 billion. Revenue had grown significantly over that period, so the percentage had fallen further still, to under 2.5%. Both the dollar amount and the ratio were declining simultaneously while the company got larger. Wall Street tracked the combined number. The board reviewed it. Nobody raised a structural alarm. The Research component within that total was well below the industry average for comparable technology companies. Not slightly. Significantly. The margin consequences arrived years later. They always do. What Happens When the Definition of Research Doesn't Exist The R/D split gave us a real predictive signal. We ran with it. The conversations were sharper. But the team kept pulling on a thread that nobody expected. When we looked closely at what was actually being called Research, project by project and budget line by budget line, things that didn't feel the same kept appearing. Work aimed at fundamental discovery. Work aimed at solving a specific defined problem using entirely new methods. Both labeled Research. Up close, they behaved differently, predicted different things, and when budgets got tight, got treated very differently. So we went looking for the agreed definition. The official standard that would tell exactly where to draw the lines inside Research. It didn't exist. Not the way we needed it to. And without it, everything we'd built was sitting on sand. How do you build a predictive model on a definition that doesn't exist? That's the next episode. If this helped you see something you might have missed, subscribe wherever you listen to podcasts.

The moon lifts off the water and climbs the sky over Calabria. Two men sit on the stones of an old tower above the coast, sipping the local wine, basking in the warm dark. Below them, where the rock runs down toward the sea, there is a mound in the earth. One of them notices something in the gorge far below. He descends to look. The other sits, and watches, and says nothing. When the first man climbs back up, his companion turns to him quietly and asks: do you want to hear the story of what you saw there, and also what you didn't? First published in Collier's Weekly, 16 December 1905. Collected in Wandering Ghosts, 1911. F. Marion Crawford (1854–1909) lived most of his adult life in Italy. In his own time he was one of the most widely read novelists in the English language. He is less remembered now than he deserves.

Is Love Badness?An experiment in form: a work of sound composed through field recordings, voice messages, and an essay written from lived experience.Fragments of speech, ambient noise, and lived memory move together here. Composed from lived experience, the piece turns toward harm, desire, rage, and repair as forces felt in the body. Voices, weather, static, and thought sit beside each other as components of intra-action—where no sound stands alone and each is felt in the body of the listener through its relation to others.Therefore, this experiment challenges the listener to stay attentive within a post-essay structure, attuning themselves to new possibilities in listening and relation. This episode asks for patience with overlap and the willingness to stay in discomfort without avoiding it.

Key Takeaways: Why Retail Looks Attractive for 2026Retail is poised to outperform, especially vs. flex/industrial, due to:Very low new development (only ~30M sq ft projected in 2026, ~70% single-tenant).Steady demand and low vacancies (around 5% vacancy, which aligns with typical underwriting assumptions).The U.S. is overbuilt on retail overall, but the type of new retail has shifted:Less big-box expansion.More mixed-use and smaller retail footprints.Investor sentiment is bullish:Cap rates have stabilized.Transaction volume is above pre-pandemic levels.Example: A Blackstone affiliate bought a $432M grocery-anchored portfolio, signaling strong conviction in retail.Retail's Fundamentals & EvolutionE-commerce and Amazon did not kill physical retail, but forced:Some brands to adapt (e.g., Best Buy).Others to disappear (e.g., Circuit City).Successful retail is becoming more experiential:People still want to touch/try/see products in person.In-person shopping often beats the friction of returns from online purchases.Neighborhood Strip Centers: The Sweet SpotUnanchored / neighborhood strip centers (10k–50k sq ft) are increasingly attractive:High occupancy, steady rent growth, strong investor interest.Adaptive tenant mix and easier to manage turnover.Tyler's own portfolio of neighborhood retail:Collected ~92–93% of rents during the pandemic by working flexibly with tenants.Demonstrates resilience of well-located neighborhood retail.Market Data & Tenants to WatchStore openings (ex‑restaurants) projected to grow 1.4% in 2026.Restaurant openings projected to grow 1.8%.Tenants/brands to watch:H‑E‑B, Michaels, Walmart, Dillard's, Pop Mart, 7 Brew, Dave's Hot Chicken, HomeGoods, EOS Fitness, Chuck E. Cheese.Markets to watch (for retail strength and rent growth):Salt Lake City, Reno (NV), Indianapolis, Raleigh–Durham, Tampa–St. Pete.Forecast average rent growth ~1.5%, but value‑add deals can outperform this via:Under-market rents.Older centers with room for modernization and repositioning.How Tyler Analyzes a Retail Deal (Key Lessons)Using a Walmart shadow‑anchored strip center near Hopkinsville (~32.6k sq ft, asking $5.613M, ~7–9% cap depending on inputs):Quick back-of-the-napkin test:Purchase price per sq ft × 10% ≈ rent per sq ft needed for a 10% cap.At $171/sq ft, that's ~$17/sq ft NNN.Financials from the OM:Gross income ≈ $19.41/sq ft.NOI ≈ $15.47/sq ft → roughly $4/sq ft in expenses.Mix of NNN and gross/modified gross leases → value‑add by converting more to NNN.Modeling assumptions & challenges:Various scenarios on LTV (70–75%), interest rate (~6–6.5%), and rent bumps (1–5%/yr).With current pricing and debt costs, IRR initially comes out too low vs. a 15% target.To hit target returns, you either need:Lower purchase price, orStronger rent growth / re‑leasing at higher rates, orSome combination of both.But:Even at today's terms, the deal can cash flow reasonably:Around 6–7% cash‑on‑cash in year one at higher equity (e.g., 50% down).Debt service coverage can be acceptable (~1.2x+) at some leverage levels.With modest rent increases (e.g., ~$1/sq ft more), the value jump can be large when capitalized at market cap rates.Practical Investing TakeawaysRetail vs. Flex:Flex is “easy” and forgiving for beginners.Retail is more nuanced (demographics, visibility, traffic counts, parking).But if you buy existing, stabilized centers, much of that risk has already been “tested by the market.”Follow the big players:Watch where Chick‑fil‑A, Starbucks, major grocers, and big PE firms (e.g., Blackstone) are putting money.They've already paid for the best data and analysis—you can ride their coattails.Value-add retail playbook:Target existing strip centers, especially near strong anchors (or shadow‑anchored).Look for:Under‑market rents.Non‑NNN leases you can convert.Short‑term leases you can roll to higher rates.Small rent bumps across multiple tenants can dramatically increase property value.Tyler's Projects & Next StepsSalt Ranch boutique hotel in Nashville:Opening planned for April 1, 2026.He's currently working through fire inspections and final permits.He's written a six‑part blog series documenting the entire Salt Ranch journey (finding the deal, vendors, mistakes, etc.).Office Hours:He'll be live again next Tuesday, 8:30am Central, for Q&A on deals, breaking into CRE, and strategy.

Please take care of yourself and listen at your own discretion.He seemed like any other married man in 1960s Oregon — a job, a wife, a house in the suburbs. But behind closed doors, Jerry Brudos was keeping secrets that would make him one of the most disturbing serial killers in American history.In this episode of Hitched 2 Homicide, we dig into the case of Jerome Henry Brudos — the "Lust Killer" — a man whose obsession with women's shoes and clothing began in childhood and escalated into kidnapping, murder, and the unthinkable. What does it take for a husband and father to lead a double life this dark? And how did investigators finally catch up with him?We're covering it all: his deeply troubled childhood, his volatile marriage, the murders of at least four young women in the Salem, Oregon area, and the investigation that brought him down. Trigger warning: this episode contains graphic descriptions of violence, sexual sadism, and disturbing criminal behavior.

Got questions? Send Ericka a Text!Your insurance AR report can look perfect while your practice quietly bleeds money. I'm Erica Aguilar, and I'm pulling back the curtain on the uncomfortable truth: “clean” dental insurance accounts receivable can be manufactured, and the prettiest numbers on your aging report might be the biggest warning sign.We walk through a real-world story of “Biller Betty” and the fast moves that make an insurance AR cleanup look successful without improving collections at all. I explain the three biggest red flags I see in dental billing and revenue cycle management: heavy adjustments disguised as contractual write-offs, shifting denied balances to patient responsibility instead of appealing, and deleting then recreating claims to make them look fresh. That last one is especially dangerous because it wipes out your original claim submission date, weakens your prompt pay position, and can trigger timely filing problems.Then we get practical. I share the performance percentages I want you monitoring so you can run your billing department like a business: what healthy 0 to 30 day insurance AR can look like, how to keep older buckets from getting heavy, and how to audit any “cleanup” by separating what was actually collected from what was adjusted or shifted. We also talk denial strategy, appeals, when to involve the insurance commissioner, and the 24-hour, 48-hour, and seven-day follow-up system that prevents claims from aging just because they never truly landed on file.If this helped you, subscribe, share the episode with a practice owner or biller, and leave a review so more teams stop trusting “clean AR” and start measuring real performance.Would you like to set-up a billing consultation with Ericka?  She would love the opportunity to discuss your billing questions and see how Fortune Billing Solutions may help you. Schedule a call with Ericka:https://calendly.com/ericka-dentalbillingdoneright/30min Email Ericka:ericka@dentalbillingdoneright.comEmail Jen:jen@dentalbillingdoneright.comGrab the Hygiene Billing and Coding Playbook Here:https://stan.store/hygieneunlockedEmail Ed:ed@dentalbillingdoneright.comSchedule a demo with MaxAssist to unlock scheduleing potential here:https://maxassist.com/book-a-demo-fortune-billing/Perio performance formula: (D4341+D4342+D4346+D4355+D4910)/(D4341+D4342+D4346+D4355+D4910+D1110)Delta Dental Locum Tenens Form:https://www1.deltadentalins.com/content/dam/ddins/en/pdf/dentists/locum-tenens-form.pdf

3/8. Darwin's Finches: The Evolution Myth and the Speed of Adaptation — Steven Moss — Moss corrects widespread misconceptions regarding Darwin's Finches, noting that Charles Darwin collected the specimens but failed to properly label their specific island origins, and subsequently employed pigeons rather than finches to explain evolutionary mechanisms. Moss discusses researchers Peter and Rosemary Grant, who demonstrated that evolutionary adaptation can occur with extraordinary rapidity, occurring within single El Niño weather events. Moss explores Australian birds, including the Magpie, as examples of misnamed convergent evolution. Moss emphasizes that all bird species, including the frequently underestimated pigeon, possess sophisticated cognitive and intelligence capabilities. 1862
