In this week's episode of A Toast to Life Podcast, we dive into Toxic Hope: Stop Falling in Love With Their Potential”*and talk about how holding onto who someone *could* become can keep you stuck in situations you've already outgrown. We also recap our unforgettable ¿Y Si Nos Conocemos? Chicago party, sharing some of our favorite moments and everything that went down in the Windy City. Of course, Spill the Tea is back with more juicy stories that lead to some real, unfiltered conversations about love, relationships, and knowing when enough is enough. Sometimes the hardest person to let go of isn't who they are—it's the person you keep hoping they'll become.Fit, Healthy & Happy Podcast Welcome to the Fit, Healthy and Happy Podcast hosted by Josh and Kyle from Colossus...Listen on: Apple Podcasts SpotifySupport the show

Send us Fan MailWhat happens when you've stopped drinking, but your brain still wants guarantees?Matt and Steve talk about the need to research, plan, anticipate, and control what happens next — from work and money to cooking dinner and doing projects around the house. Underneath it is a harder problem: uncertainty. If you can figure everything out ahead of time, maybe you can avoid getting it wrong, wasting your time, or feeling like you failed.Recovery doesn't make that instinct disappear. It gives you a different way to respond to it. This episode is about learning to tolerate not knowing, letting other people do things their way, and recognizing that progress can mean handling life differently even when the old thinking still shows up.Fit, Healthy & Happy Podcast Welcome to the Fit, Healthy and Happy Podcast hosted by Josh and Kyle from Colossus...Listen on: Apple Podcasts SpotifySupport the show

Paolo Pedercini is an Italian game designer, artist, educator, and activist whose work has spent more than two decades challenging assumptions about what video games are for, and what they are allowed to say. In 2003, he founded Molleindustria as a project dedicated to the "reappropriation of video games and the radicalisation of popular culture."Since then, he has created a remarkable body of short, provocative games about labour, capitalism, religion, technology, and political power, including McDonald's Videogame, Oiligarchy, Every Day the Same Dream, Phone Story, and Democratic Socialism Simulator. His games have often been satirical, often controversial, and always interested in using play as a way of thinking through systems and ideology. Now he is working on his most ambitious project yet: Future? No Thanks!, an open-world comedy adventure about a grumpy old man completing his bucket list in a solarpunk future.NOTES:Paolo Pedercini / MolleindustriaMolleindustria – official site (all Paolo's games)Paolo Pedercini – WikipediaPaolo Pedercini – Bluesky (@molleindustria.org)Future?

My guest today is Noah Shinn. Noah is the founder of Instinct, a personal assistant that you text, call, or email the same way you would a person. It has its own phone and its own computer, and it can do almost anything on your behalf that you would do yourself online. Instinct is about a year old, still invite-only, and growing roughly 10% day over day without any marketing spend. We discuss the surprising ways people are already using Instinct, the trusted network that lets two people's agents coordinate directly, and what Noah has learned about how long it takes users to trust an agent with their credit card, inbox, and calendar. He explains why he refuses to build an ad model and why he believes a personal agent should never influence users against their own interests. We also cover the take rate model behind the more than $1 billion a year now flowing through the platform, how travel and food delivery businesses should prepare for a world of agents, why he spends 40% of his time thinking about compute, and why he believes all of software will eventually collapse into one simple interface.

Sean flies solo this week for a deep dive into two of Marvel's biggest '80s crossover events: Marvel Super Heroes Secret Wars (1984) and Secret Wars II (1985). The toy deal that started it all, the editorial gamble that followed, and why one series is beloved while the other gets dragged — Sean's got opinions on all of it.Episode HighlightsA little show history — Sean traces the origin of the "Sean Geek" persona back to the Rum Powered Reviews channel and the Meet the Geeks webcomic.Why Secret Wars exists at all — The surprising, toy-driven business deal behind Marvel's first-ever massive crossover event, and the company Marvel was racing to compete with.The making of a maxi-series — Jim Shooter's hands-on approach as writer and editor-in-chief, the art team behind it, and why pulling together every major Marvel hero and villain was a bigger challenge than anyone expected.The highs and the misfires — Sean breaks down which characters got great moments, which got badly mishandled, and one lasting piece of Spider-Man costume history that came out of the series.Listener mailbag — Comic collector Tony Griggs sounds off on tie-in bloat, and School of Hip host Heath McCoy gives his unfiltered take on both series and how they stack up against a certain rival crossover from DC.Secret Wars II: ambition meets chaos — The sequel's infamous tie-in sprawl, its unconventional lead character, and why some of the best storytelling happened everywhere except the main series.Chris Claremont and John Byrne save the day — How a couple of Marvel's best writers turned a difficult crossover assignment into some genuinely great comics in their own titles.The Sean Geek rewrite — If he'd been in the room, here's how Sean would have restructured Secret Wars II from the ground up.Looking ahead — A teaser for a future episode on the very different, much more acclaimed 2015 Secret Wars event.Patreon thank-yous — Shoutouts to supporters including Ronald George Moore (Manitoba Money Shot Podcast), Sam Thompson (Witch Police Radio), Ruby (Living Through Extinction), Tony Griggs, Corey Morissette, Kevin Brown, Danny Pabst, Duane, and new patron Andrew (Head Full of Radio / Soupful of Radio).Comics ReferencedMarvel Super Heroes Secret Wars (1984)Secret Wars II (1985) and its many tie-in issues across the Marvel lineSecret Wars (2015)Crisis on Infinite Earths (DC, mentioned for comparison)Support the ShowBecome a Patreon supporter for early episode access, video versions, and the chance to pitch topics for future episodes.Have thoughts on Secret Wars or Secret Wars II?

I walk you through the origin story of the event: how Jim Shooter and Marvel teamed with Mattel to essentially build a 12-issue crossover whose primary job was to sell action figures. I explain what a "maxi-series" is (think a limited-run event with a defined beginning and end) and why having so many heavy-hitter characters in one place was innovative and risky back in 1984. I share my own personal memory of hunting down issues in Moncton, trading comics with friends, and the way certain character moments — like the Black Costume for Spider-Man, Galactus' motivations, and the Molecule Man's surprising emotional arc — stuck with me years later. Then I shift into critique mode: the good, the awkward, and the “what were they thinking?” moments. I point out how the series sold like gangbusters yet received mixed critical response because of uneven writing and jarring characterizations (ahem, Rhodey/Rhodes dialogue and odd turns for Colossus). I also explain why flashbacks were necessary in an era before the internet and ubiquitous comic shops, but how they became cumbersome in collected reads. Throughout, I zoom in on toy-line decisions, artistic highs (Mike Zeck, Bob Layton moments) and lows, and why Secret Wars I mattered beyond nostalgia — it changed how publishers approached crossover storytelling and merchandising, for better and worse. I throw in a few jokes about cheap action-figure bodies and He-Man deja vu, because nostalgia deserves a wink.Takeaways:I learned the original Secret Wars (1984) was essentially a big Marvel–Mattel marketing move — a 12‑issue maxi‑series built to sell action figures, where the comic was a massive hit but the toy line hilariously flopped.We talk about how Secret Wars essentially invented the modern crossover concept: jimmy‑rubbing top selling heroes and villains together into one eventful maxi‑series that changed how comics were published and marketed thereafter.I'll be honest — a lot of the character work felt inconsistent: questionable dialogue (looking at you, Rhodey), weird relationship choices like Colossus cheating, and endless flashbacks that made the story feel clunkier than it needed to be.Secret Wars II suffered from execution problems: the Beyonder was given human form and the plot got fragmented across roughly 35 tie‑in issues, meaning crucial scenes happened off‑panel and readers needed a PhD in crossovers to follow along.I absolutely loved Owen Reiss (Molecule Man) — his emotional growth and romance with Volcana are genuinely touching highlights, showing how grounding character moments can rescue a sprawling, messy event.We point out that some tie‑ins actually worked — great creators like Chris Claremont (X‑Men) and John Byrne (Fantastic Four) wove the Beyonder into their own arcs smartly, proving tie‑ins can shine when handled with purpose.If I were running the event, I'd slow the roll: hire a dedicated writer/artist team, keep the core emotional beats in the main series (not scattered off‑panel), and avoid tie‑in overload so the story reads like an event, not a scavenger hunt.

En god antagonist kan gjøre mye for spillopplevelsen, og i denne episoden trekker vi frem noen av våre personlige favoritter. Dessuten blir det en fin blanding av nytt og gammelt i hva vi har spilt-segmentet, og Ingar har vært på pressevisning av den nye Resident Evil-filmen for å se om den er bedre enn de tidligere spillefilmene (spoiler: det er den).

Alex Snider thinks our constant rushing, and our obsession with being on time, may be costing us more than we realize. For Live Long, this goes to the heart of a bigger question: if longevity is about living well, not simply living longer, are we actually giving enough attention to the life happening now?Alex, author of Sometimes You Should Be Late, spent more than 15 years in high-pressure government roles before a cycling accident forced him to rethink urgency, productivity and what it means to be fully present.I was skeptical.  In this interview we challenge each other on punctuality, hard deadlines, wasted time, ambition and whether slowing down really helps us live better.We also discuss the classic Good Samaritan experiment, the physical cost of constant rushing, Alex's idea of “emotional punctuality,” and my own habit of leaving “white space” in the day.This is a conversation about choice: how we use our time, how we show up for other people, and whether living longer also means learning to live more fully now.--DISCLOSURE: This podcast is supported by affiliate arrangements with a select number of companies.

A slice of football history is taking place next month, when South Melbourne take on Melbourne Victory in the Australia Cup Final.The showpiece fixture will mark the first all-Victorian Australia Cup Final of the modern era, bringing together two giants of Australian football representing different generations. SBS looks at the significance of the event and the unique histories of both clubs.

China está levantando una infraestructura energética y tecnológica a una escala difícil de imaginar. Ulanqab quiere convertirse en uno de los grandes centros mundiales para el desarrollo y entrenamiento de inteligencia artificial, con millones de chips, enormes centros de datos y una capacidad energética que rivaliza con el consumo de países enteros.Pero este vídeo comienza muy lejos de China.Desde las instalaciones de un proyecto que nunca llegó a completarse, analizamos dos formas radicalmente distintas de afrontar el futuro. Mientras China construye generación eléctrica, redes e infraestructuras para alimentar su industria y su carrera por la IA, España acumula proyectos paralizados, inversiones sin terminar y grandes dificultades para convertir sus ventajas energéticas en industria real.¿Por qué Ulanqab? Energía más barata, enormes extensiones de terreno, temperaturas extremadamente bajas que facilitan la refrigeración de los centros de datos y una planificación energética diseñada específicamente para soportar su crecimiento.La comparación con España resulta especialmente interesante.¿Tenemos realmente una estrategia para aprovechar la revolución de la inteligencia artificial, los centros de datos y la energía?En este vídeo hablamos de inteligencia artificial, Ulanqab, Mongolia Interior, China, DeepSeek, Huawei, Nvidia, Elon Musk y Colossus; pero también de energía nuclear, renovables, centros de datos y de las decisiones que pueden determinar qué países liderarán la próxima revolución tecnológica.Una historia sobre IA y energía que empieza en un camino que no lleva a ninguna parte, en mitad de Cuenca, y termina mirando hacia China.00:00 De Cuenca a China: dos formas de afrontar el futuro02:11 ¿Por qué los gigantes de la IA quieren pisar el freno?06:02 Ulanqab: el gigantesco proyecto de IA de China09:42 ¿Por qué China ha elegido Mongolia Interior?11:18 El gran proyecto español que nunca llegó13:12 China frente a España: energía, industria y centros de datosEnlace a mi nuevo canal vídeo blog “MANUAL”: https://www.youtube.com/@jfcaleroMANUALMis Aparatos y equipos imprescindibles para trabajar y vivir: https://www.amazon.es/shop/juanfranciscocalero-clubonmotorApóyame para hacer más y mejores vídeos en PATREON.

Gabe Stengel is the co-founder and CEO of Rogo, the AI platform for finance. He believes the best investors will spend the next several years reinventing their firms around AI, and Rogo is trying to build the infrastructure that allows them to do it. We discuss how Rogo evolved alongside the frontier models, why the last mile and the harness around the models matter so much, what happens when every portfolio manager can deploy thousands of agents against a problem, and how AI could transform the way capital is raised, assets are priced, and deals get done. We also cover which investing skills become more valuable as AI improves, the move from seat-based to outcome-based pricing, Rogo's internal company brain called Shrek, the 40 investor rejections Gabe received before his Series A, why building in applied AI requires extraordinary aggression, and what it takes to become a black hole for talent and capital.

In today's episode of A Toast to Life Podcast, we have a much-needed conversation about learning to choose yourself without carrying the guilt that sometimes comes with it. We talk about believing in yourself, recognizing your worth, and understanding that prioritizing your happiness doesn't mean you don't care about the people around you.We also dive into the importance of setting boundaries with family, friends, and significant others. Sometimes the people closest to us are the hardest people to set boundaries with, but protecting your peace may require having uncomfortable conversations and learning when to say no.Throughout the episode, we discuss self-love and giving yourself the same love, patience, and energy that you constantly give to everyone else. You can spend so much time showing up for other people that you forget to ask yourself when the last time was that you truly showed up for YOU.This episode is a reminder that choosing yourself isn't selfish—it's part of growing into the person you want to become. Stop feeling guilty for choosing yourself, protect your peace, believe in who you are, and remember: you deserve the same love you give everyone else. ❤️

This is Get Rich Education.   Keith Weinhold  1:49   Welcome to GRE from Davenport, Iowa, to Smethport, Pennsylvania, and across 188 nations worldwide. I'm Keith Weinhold. You're listening to Get Rich Education. Hey, near the end of today's episode, I'll announce where I'll be appearing live and inviting you to join me. But first, most real estate headlines that you see out there for quite a while now, they tend to focus on just how difficult buying a home has become amidst higher prices and mortgage rates-it's kind of an old story by now. But for investors, the other side of that story is what matters. When fewer people can buy homes, well, more people have to continue renting them. Only 6 million of America's 50 million renters can afford to buy the median home. In fact, so that means then that only 12 percent of America's renter households can afford the median home. That is just remarkable, and that's exactly why they have to keep renting, but you know what's more remarkable is the growth of this group of people itself. Last year, the U.S. added an estimated 898,000 renter households, but only 234,000 homeowner households. That's per the Census Bureau. All right. So then, renters accounted for nearly 80% of the nation's net household growth. Gosh, that is staggering. Well, let's look at the rent change and their factors in some of America's largest cities over the past three years, in Austin rents down 8% over the past three years, lowest anywhere. San Antonio minus 4% Denver minus 1% and then you got a couple cities, Phoenix and Dallas that are even no rent change the past three years because they've had some overbuilding. Raleigh, North Carolina, up 1% Nashville, Orlando, and Houston all with rents up 2% over the last three years. Still pretty modest. Jacksonville, Tampa, and Charlotte each up 3% Atlanta up 4% Miami also up 4% Los Angeles and Memphis both up 6% Seattle has had rent growth of 8% the past three years. Boston really with a lot of growth in tech jobs and not much new supply added. So Boston, Massachusetts, 10% rent growth. Philadelphia, 11% rent growth. New York City, famously not adding much supply. Rents are up 14% since 2023. San Francisco and Chicago leading the charge rents up 17% in both San Francisco and Chicago over the past three years. Now the biggest reason for the variability in rent change since this time it's largely the same reason for capital price change, for appreciation level, and that is the factor of supply. You know, remarkably, the eight cities that have built the least, they have the eight highest rent growth stories, and most of those are higher cost coastal markets that have high building regulation. I mean, sheesh. That's where approving new housing can take longer than choosing a speaker of the house, and that's how already expensive markets remained resilient.   Keith Weinhold  5:57   Namely, I'm talking about places like New York, Boston, Chicago, and San Francisco, and then you've got these pandemic-era magnets like Austin, Phoenix, Dallas, and Nashville. What these places did is they attracted residents and developers along with them, but yet they've all got really slow rent growth stories, like I just outlined. So what really happened here in these pandemic-era magnet places, again, Austin, Phoenix, Dallas, and Nashville, is that builders showed up like food trucks at a music carnival, and eventually the construction wave caught up with demand. Then you know we got to look at the Sun Belt. A lot of people talk about the Sun Belt like it's just one market or one place, and of course that's not true because I just told you about how Atlanta and Miami rents rose 4% the past three years. Well, a number of other places in the Sun Belt just stayed about even, but it's really the tech hubs like Boston and San Francisco, that are just surging, really soaring with rent growth amidst the AI boom, because they've really been the beneficiaries of that. So yes, apparently even the people building our robot replacements then need a place to live. The robots themselves don't pay rent yet. It's rarely been more apparent that real estate is local when there's this 25% Grand Canyon between Chicago and San Francisco's 17% rent growth, and then Austin's 8% loss. And again, I'm talking about that period just over the past three years. Now rent declines-that's something that really doesn't happen very often.   Keith Weinhold  7:48   They tend to be even more rare than a loss in overall home prices. But you know, rent declines-they can create buying opportunities. What happens is that softer rents-they pressure your current cash flows for sure, and that hurts, no doubt about it. But over the longer term, what that does is that discourages new construction, and then that sets the stage for tighter supply down the road. So that is really the rent growth story the past few years in the United States. We're going to discuss rents and prices some more, and then the excitement of the profound amount of new AI investment into a place where you might not be thinking about it in, and that is Memphis. Listen to what SpaceX, Anthropic, and Google are all in the process of doing there, and what that could do to rents. We'll talk to the premier provider of Memphis rental property, and they also place your tenant and they manage it for you, so that all you do is little more than collect the monthly rent check, and they also offer this in Little Rock, Arkansas, and more recently in North Texas, founded in 2002, Mid South Homebuyers they are one of America's original turnkey real estate providers, and you know they're quite possibly the oldest major provider that still operates today. We're going to talk to the man that actually sets the rents there, and in fact, Mid South is so renowned and respected that for a long time, if you wanted to own rental property from them, there was a waiting list that once reached 24 months, and frankly, in that scenario, investors would just kind of settle for the first property that became available-that doesn't happen anymore. There is no waiting list, and you actually have a choice now. Let's talk to this week's guests. Back on the show today, the Memphis-based team that has provided more. More income property to GRE listeners than anyone in history. They were first on the show with us almost 12 years ago on episode nine. It is Mid South Homebuyers founder Terry Kerr and director Matthew Vanhorn. It's a warm welcome back to the show.   Terry Kerr  10:18   Thank you so much, Keith. Always love being on your show, man.   Matthew Vanhorn  10:22   Yeah, so glad to be back, Keith.   Keith Weinhold  10:24   You know, I was talking with you earlier, and you had brought up something that struck me as interesting, and yet it could be true that when it comes to cash flow in real estate, we are living in the good old days. Now, nationally, cash flow has been challenged because purchase prices and mortgage rates are both up, and rents haven't quite kept up proportionally. But there, in the markets that you deal in, you can still get it with a small down payment because you do have a high ratio of rents in proportion to a low purchase price. Some of them still under 200k for a good rental single-family home, and incentives that get your mortgage rate into the fives. So tell us more about how we could be living in the good old days now.   Terry Kerr  11:09   Well, you know we're very fortunate to be working in some towns where the price to rent ratios are still super favorable comparatively. You know you mentioned that you can get into a house for under 200,000, we even have new construction houses that folks can get into for under 200,000. Yes, one of the other ways that we're able to make the deals pencil out and make it to where these are definitely the good old days is through a promotion that we've had going on for a bit called the Triple Five, where we buy the rate down into the fives and have a 5% management for five years. So these are definitely the good old days here at Mid South.   Matthew Vanhorn  11:51   One thing that you preach on your show, Keith, is about looking at history over hunches. Right, and when I look at the history, everyone. who comes to me now says, "Man, I wish I had bought 10 years ago. I've yet to hear anyone say, "Man, I wish I'd bought less 10 years ago. Never happens, you know. And 10 years ago, well, 10 years ago was 2016, and a lot of people say, "I wish I had bought more then, and the reality is, a lot of people were scared to buy then. You know, their times were uncertain then. We were unsure where things were headed then. Always, and maybe people looked at our prices back then as they started to hit $75,000 for a home, and thought, man, things are getting expensive. But my belief is truly, Keith, that 10 years from now, people will look back and say, man, I wish I had bought more 10 years ago. I mean, we're living at an incredible inflection point. I believe in history, you know, where we know that the world is changing with AI and with various factors that are happening. We're on very much the cutting edge of all of that. You know, I don't have a crystal ball, but I just believe that 10 years from now, people will say, "Man, you guys were so lucky to be able to invest in a time when AI was in its infancy, and like before prices had skyrocketed, like they are now in 2036. That's just my belief, Keith. Looking at history over hunches, there,   Keith Weinhold  13:31   I very well believe that could be true. The truth is, for you as an investor, when you buy a property, it's pretty likely you've paid more for that property than anyone has in history, and it's also pretty likely that when you sell that property down the road, you are going to sell it for more than anyone ever has in history. People always think that times are uncertain, and they're going to continue to feel that way because nobody can know the future, of course. And Terry, you talked about your incentives with the triple five. That's for someone that makes a small down payment where they can get their mortgage rate bought down into the fives. They get five years of property management at 5% and we're big fans of leverage here. However, if someone wants to pay all cash, you also have an incentive known as the Forever Five. Tell us about that.   Terry Kerr  14:26   Yeah, so the Forever Five for somebody who pays cash, they will get 5% property management forever because they are not getting the benefit of the interest rate buydown. So we want to treat our cash buyers fairly as well, and that's been very popular.   Keith Weinhold  14:43   And if you, as a cash buyer, participate in the Forever Five, and then you go on to refinance the property, maybe to pull cash out after you've closed, you still get those incentives for the duration of your ownership of the property.   Terry Kerr  14:56   Absolutely.   Keith Weinhold  14:58   Now, Matthew, interestingly. You talked about an inflection point. We'll get into that later. There is a clear inflection point with Memphis and with AI. But before we do that, why don't you talk about your core business and some of the markets that you serve and what the drivers are there?   Matthew Vanhorn  15:18   Yeah. Right now, when you invest in Memphis, you are investing in stability. We still have great cash-flowing assets in Memphis for as low as $100,000. We have great cash-flowing assets in Little Rock for as low as $120,000, and even Texas, we have assets there for as low as 215,000, which I don't expect you to see those kind of prices in the future. I think we're at a very lucky point where you can get into Texas for as low as 215. We're still seeing strong cash flow in our markets, especially with our triple five promotion. I mean, we've looked and listen. We realize it's harder to find cash flow than it used to be. That is true, and that is why we've rolled out this triple five promotion, where it really helps these deals pencil for our investors. It gives you five years of reduced property management. It gives you 30 years of a fantastic fixed rate on your interest, and my belief is that your rents will continue to grow faster than your expenses. So that five years from now, even if there is a property management adjustment in year six, which that would adjust to the normal rate of 10% or for investors who have more than six homes with us to 8% I believe that you're going to be in a much better place six years down the road because of the factors we know that rents increase, your resident pays down the mortgage, and I believe that this happens at a rate that's faster than your expenses grow.   Keith Weinhold  17:02   Talk to us about what you're doing as far as new build versus resale properties, because so many providers today are finding that they're doing more volume of new build than they are of resale properties, and this is really a good, important, fundamental thing that people like you are doing because amidst the national housing shortage, there's an even greater shortage of those entry-level properties. So now that you've been doing new build for a little while, tell us about that and what kind of effects that makes. How good that is for the investor. How much longer tenants are being retained for a longer duration in the new build property versus resale, and just more about that new build versus resale.   Terry Kerr  17:46   Sure, man. So we got into doing new construction, you know, out of necessity, and also because our investors were asking for it, our renters were asking for it, and so also we couldn't find as many rehabs, and you can't force a good deal to come onto the market to find for rehab. And so we went on a absolute tear for dirt. So within the last 12 months, we picked up over 400 vacant lots, and so we kind of have the dirt stacked up for the next while, and we're doing that in both Little Rock and in Memphis. And so, what we've seen on the leasing and on the acquisitions for our investor side is that our residents absolutely love it. We could ask more in rent than we're getting for these new construction properties, but we're tempering ourselves because we know that what makes a property cash flow for the long term is lease renewals for the residents. So in Memphis, as an example, our average rent for a brand new three-bedroom, two-bath, 1400 square foot house is 1450. And Matthew, what's the price point on that? Is it like 198,000 bucks? Is that it? That's right. And so they're just flying off the shelves from a rental standpoint. And like I said, we could get more in rent and still sell them at that 198 or maybe more. But we're wanting to make sure that we're leaving enough meat on the bone all the way around the horn, and to your question, Keith, about additional length of resident stay, we haven't been doing new construction long enough to really have good data points on that. But if the interest in the new construction product by our residents is an indicator of length of resident stay, it's going to be longer than our rehabs.   Matthew Vanhorn  19:42   Yeah, and another thing that I think that's interesting is that we are often building these new construction homes in the same neighborhoods where we have done our newly renovated homes, and so that continues to bring up the value of our renovated properties. Which I think is a beautiful thing that not all investors have connected the dots on yet with what we're doing in these neighborhoods. I think it's a beautiful thing because some residents are going to prefer that four-two new construction, like Terry mentioned, and other residents are going to prefer to pay a little bit less and get that three-one ranch-style home that we love so much here at Mid South,   Keith Weinhold  20:24   and you, the listener, you might be wondering about really properties, including new build income properties for under 200k. But I can attest to you that I have walked inside these properties myself with Mid South home buyers, several of them, so we're not just talking about the glossy brochure version of how a property looks. This is real with the low purchase prices in Memphis due to them being the transportation hub of the nation and an awful lot of other reasons. But the whole thing that makes this stick together for you, the investor is the property management, and you you never hear anyone rave about their property manager, seemingly. But with your management and making this hands-free for the investor, I have got to say I don't think I have ever heard one complaint about you guys's property management. So tell us about that. When someone gets sort of enamored with owning in one of your markets, Memphis, Little Rock, or with what you're doing in Texas, tell us about that handoff to the property manager and how important it is to have that in-house management. Because if there ends up being some construction or rehab problem, you know the manager isn't pointing fingers at somebody else because the renovation and the management is all done in house.   Terry Kerr  21:46   Yeah, absolutely. It's super important to have it all in one house, so no one's pointing fingers at someone else. And really, Keith, it all boils down to value. It's the biggest piece, and just how I mentioned a few minutes ago about how we could get more in rent for the properties than we do, but we know that the properties need to continue to stay occupied, and reducing turnover is the main thing that's going to make an asset perform. And so that's kind of the foundation of where we start as a turnkey outfit, and then it's just treating our residents, treating them with the respect that they deserve, answering the phone when the you know heating element goes out on a water heater and getting it fixed quick, and so delivering value from a rent to property ratio, if you will, and then also just giving really good customer service to the resident because if you do that, the property is going to perform.   Matthew Vanhorn  22:42   I was blessed to work on the management side of the business for 14 years before jumping into the sales seat. So I know firsthand, you know how important it is to make this work for the resident. So it's not like the residents have interests and the investors have interests that are misaligned. We have to make this work for the resident to make it work for the investors. And like Terry's saying, when we provide ultimate value to the resident, our investors thrive. And so, at its core, it's it's some very basic things that we do here, Keith. That I think make all the difference. And it's just spending the time is one of the biggest thing. It's literally just answering the phone when residents call. It's just the basics that I think we do so well. And to spend that time and to answer the phone, you have to have an actual staff, you know. And here, just down the street at our central office, you can walk right in, right up to Gabby's desk, and she can help you with any of your concerns if you're a resident. And I think that's becoming so rare today, Keith, to see that level of service on the property management side. So many property managers want to do just the bare minimum, and they're really just looking to extract value and to just move on. We, the most of the people who work here, Keith, we have, I think, about 120 employees, and a lot of them aren't necessarily thinking about sort of the sales side like I do. They're simply thinking about the mission they have for taking care of the residents of Memphis and Little Rock and Dallas, and that's really all they think about, and that's why this is successful.   Keith Weinhold  24:23   I was laughing earlier. I just find it funny how you put that. Like the bar is so low for property management that oh my gosh, this manager picked up the phone on the first try. I can't believe it. Like that's how low the bar is for property management, and your management there has been superb. We're going to talk more, including how Memphis could be on the precipice of being both the brains and brawn behind AI, including why data centers can be good for communities. More on that when we come back. You're listening to Get Rich Education. Our guests are Terry Kerr and Matthew Van Horn.

Listen to Get Rich Education with Keith Weinhold, and don't quit your daydream.   Keith Weinhold  26:53   Welcome back to Get Rich Education. We're talking with founder Terry Kerr and director Matthew Van Horn of Mid South Homebuyers, the provider that's provided our listeners with more income property than anyone else in history for years. That popularity created a wait list that was often several months long. I'm pleased to tell you that there is no longer a wait list, so you, the investor, can get a deal done in a pretty short period of time. One reason for that, to Terry's point, is the fact that more new construction has been brought on since they weren't able to buy rehabs at the pace that they wanted to. Since we are in a housing shortage, how do you stop the shortage? You build new. One thing that you're building new are duplexes as well. So tell us more about the duplexes that you offer because sometimes that interests investors to buy one income property and have one loan with two doors.   Terry Kerr  27:53   Sure, absolutely. And you know, Keith, actually, we just bought a whole street of duplexes. We bought 18 duplexes, and talk about forced depreciation brought the whole street up, and it's actually located. We have other duplexes besides these, but it's actually located just three minutes from here on the Green Line. Really coveted place to live. You can just hop on the Green Line and ride your bike all you know all the way. Well, goodness, about 100 miles or more. Yeah, duplexes are rare here in Memphis, and we've been fortunate to stumble across a good chunk of them.   Matthew Vanhorn  28:30   Actually, in Memphis, there was a moratorium on building duplexes for over 40 years, and so that's part of why they're rare. Wow, is that you just weren't allowed to build them for a long time, so when we're able to come across them, it's a great thing because we know investors love them. And the fact that we're able to grab 18 right here in Midtown on the Green Line, right by our huge library, which is is an awesome place, we're really excited for those as well as the other duplexes. Like Terry said, we have others available, but be looking out for those Waynoka duplexes. Yes,   Keith Weinhold  29:04   amidst the housing shortage, I have seen many U.S. cities these past few years with zoning changes allowing duplexes to exist where only single-family residential properties could previously. Tell us more about the duplex rents and prices.   Matthew Vanhorn  29:21   Yes. So Waynoka duplexes, as an example, these are 2121, so a two one on each side of the duplex. They're compact, so I think they're about 700 square feet on each side. They are priced on the rent side at 925 a month per side, so 1850 in total rent, and so those are going to be selling for around the 220 mark.   Keith Weinhold  29:50   Okay, those are some really attractive numbers. They are ratios that work. There inside Mid South, you've done an awful lot. More to help grow your team and help better serve investors on the investor side. Now, you know, frankly, I really never look at how you're marketing yourselves to buy rehab properties over there on that side with what you're doing. But actually, sat down and had lunch in person with your marketing director a few months ago. You've got a new website now, and so much of that is the interface with the investor in the white glove service that you offer them in order to make it easy for investors. Tell us more about that.   Matthew Vanhorn  30:34   Yes, we're really proud of the new website that we've rolled out. It really is designed to make buying as easy as possible for investors, and not just buying easy, but to understand the process as well as you can, to understand and do your due diligence as well as possible from the website. And so, one thing that you'll notice is that with each property now, you can click a run profit projection is a button on each property, and it brings out a detailed pro forma. You can get downright nerdy in there. Adjust different inputs on different down payments, different interest rates, different loan products. You can toggle back and forth to see the cap rates on cash versus leveraged, and like I said, you can get downright nerdy with it, which is nice. It's something we did not have before. The pictures are really crisp on our new website now. We have available homes on our website, which is a fantastic thing for investors. Previously, with the waitlist system. We would show our website, and investors would go on there, and they would say, "Hey, there's nothing available. Right, and so that was the biggest problem. We have different markets, different products. Texas, as an example, it's going to be more high growth. Memphis is going to be more high cash flow, and so different investors have different parameters. We can actually match you to what you need now.   Keith Weinhold  32:02   You guys have such a good reputation, and also you've been offering turnkey rental properties longer than any other provider I know of in all of the United States. But because your reputation preceded you in the past, I think some people would stay on your wait list for a few months, and then as soon as one property came available, they would just take it, regardless of what it was, and they still tended to rave about your service. But today, you actually have some choice.   Terry Kerr  32:31   We do, we do. In addition to providing extra properties through new construction, we've also been fortunate to, you know, continue to develop our banking relationship. So we would not have been able to to do what we've done by ramping up volume if it weren't for our good lender partners. So, cheers to that!   Keith Weinhold  32:49   Right, and these banking relationships are what allow you to offer interest rates in the fives to investors. Well, Matthew mentioned it earlier that we really are on this tipping point, this likely pivot point where AI has really-you could have long called it the brawn behind a lot of what moves America-that being Memphis, being that transportation hub that you are-but it's also now positioned to be the brains of AI as well. I mean, perhaps the biggest infrastructure story in America is now happening there in Memphis, the most affordable major castle market in America, and I don't know that anyone has connected these dots. So it's an exciting time. Tell us about that.   Matthew Vanhorn  33:37   It is an exciting time, and I think you're right. I think investors at large have not connected those dots, like you said, Keith. Right now, if you've ever used Grok, if you've ever used Claude from Anthropic, it's being powered right here in Memphis, Tennessee. I don't know if everyone knows that of how much money that Google is pouring in to Memphis, how much Anthropic is pouring into Memphis? How much SpaceX is pouring into Memphis? It's really phenomenal. It's dramatically raised the amount of tax revenue that we've been able to generate, and that tax revenue benefits the city. And so we're already an advantaged market when it comes to investors, and this AI infrastructure I think poises us to be even stronger of a play, especially for those who get in sooner rather than later. While it's the good old days, Keith.   Keith Weinhold  34:36   We have seen what AI can do to a rental market. Now, I'm certainly not projecting this on Memphis, but San Francisco has seen two-bedroom rents up 26% year over year due to this influx of AI money that you're talking about.   Matthew Vanhorn  34:56   Absolutely, and we have been seeing rent growth in. In Memphis, and I think that's interesting because I've heard investors as I go to different conferences, and they say, "Yeah, rent in Memphis has been kind of flat. And what a lot of people tend to do is they look at reports that talk about what has happened over the past, let's say, two years. And so a lot of investors they want to invest when they get that report, and it says, "Hey, rents are up 26%. Well, once you get the report, it may not be the most optimal time. I'm blessed to be on the cutting edge of the knowledge here, you know, because I'm part of the property management company. In fact, I set the rents personally still on these homes, and so I see them ticking up, Keith. I'm not saying it's necessarily San Francisco style here, but I do see the rents ticking up here after a little bit of a period where it was a little bit flat in 24 and 25.   Keith Weinhold  35:57   Yes, we are talking to the man that sets the rents on this huge collection of properties that we have here. Memphis is now home to the world's largest AI supercomputer. That's XAI's Colossus, the biggest single-site AI facility on the planet. You touched on it. Anthropic is paying 1.25 billion a month to run Claude on it. Google just signed a deal worth up to $30 billion starting october 1 in one year. Therefore, XAI became the second largest taxpayer in the city after FedEx. And sometimes you might wonder, okay, but will that translate to that community, to that local neighborhood, well, the city has committed 25% of the property tax revenue from those sites to infrastructure in the surrounding neighborhood. So this is a multiplier effect that we're talking about in Memphis.   Matthew Vanhorn  36:54   That's it exactly. So the neighborhood where SpaceX has built these facilities, and so they built Colossus, which alone was the largest supercomputer in the world. Then they built Colossus Two, which was even larger than the first one. And by the way, they're prospecting a third facility. Guess the Colossus Three. So already the biggest. Then they built a second. They're about to build a third. And these are in the communities where we're already investing, Keith. So these are communities that are already great neighborhoods where we have great blue-collar working-class renters who love their homes from mid south, take great care of them, and now they're going to get the benefit of that 25% of a huge number in tax revenue going into improve the infrastructure in their community. So you're talking better streets, you're talking water treatment, you're talking money going into schools, which is super important. It even goes into just cleaning up the community, which is directly helpful to our property values here, and so I'm really excited that we're seeing this growth here in areas where we already were investing, Keith. So we were lucky enough to already be ahead of this even before we recognized this growth headed to Memphis.   Terry Kerr  38:19   And one of the nice things about that is, is we've already got hundreds of houses that we're managing in these neighborhoods, and so all this new growth is just benefiting the investors who've owned in these neighborhoods for many, many years.   Keith Weinhold  38:33   There is clearly some momentum here, and at worst, it provides some real ballast under the greater Memphis economy. Before I ask you two, if you have any last thoughts, I would like to cordially invite you, the listener, to an exclusive free virtual event with all three of us live. It is next Wednesday, the 30th. The event is called Memphis: The New Brains and Brawn Behind AI. Why the smart money is moving now. Sign up is open now and is complimentary at getricheducation.com/midsouth. So therefore, the webinar takes place the night before the new Google money starts flowing in to Memphis on October 1, and at the event you'll see actual properties, real cost flow numbers, and Mid South's best deal terms ever. Like we touched on earlier, with those rates in the fives and five years of property management at just a 5% rate, and these incentives are all available exclusively to live attendees. It ought to be really cool. Again, it is next Wednesday the 30th. Sign up at getricheducation.com/midsouth. Any last thoughts, fellas?   Matthew Vanhorn  39:52   We run regular tours here in Memphis. You can come visit us on site, and most people don't come. Visit us on site, but we love it when you do. So, if you are interested in seeing us firsthand, want to put your boots on the ground here, please sign up for a investor tour where we'll show you the facility here where we're sitting, show you the warehouse, we'll show you the process of renovations, we'll show you a junker home that we just bought, we'll show you one midway. We'll show you the final product. We'll show you renovated homes. We'll show you new construction, and give you a great grasp on what we're doing here at Mid South.   Keith Weinhold  40:30   That website is midsouthhomebuyers.com. Yes, I have done that tour with you guys. Yeah, it's interesting that you take us into the Junker home first, and that way we can see chronologically how you go through the process until we're in a newly renovated one near the end that's beautifully done. I still remember how much those hardwood floors shined in your product there. Yes, you, the listener, are cordially invited to join us September of 30th, a live event, all three of us. That is getresuceducation.com/midsouth fellas. It's been great having you back on the show.   Terry Kerr  41:07   Thanks so much. Thank you.   Keith Weinhold  41:14   Earlier in the show, I mentioned Memphis's 6% rent growth over the past three years. When you break it down per Zillow, that's just up 2% for Memphis multifamily, and it's up 9% for Memphis single-family rentals. Besides all the good stuff happening in Memphis, it has excited some people when they recently extrapolated their mega successful model out to the Dallas-Fort Worth metro and surroundings. For example, in Princeton, Texas, where they offer brand new construction, a two-bed, two-bath single-family home renting for 1675 a month and selling for under 200k. It's 192k. In fact, next week on the show, I will discuss what happens to real estate when stocks crash, and I'll talk about a lot more. But September 30th-that is the day of our event. It's also the day before substantially more AI investment dollars start pouring into Memphis, and the good old days could very well be investing here before that happens. Join the three of us for an inside look at why billions in new investment might be creating a pretty rare window in Memphis real estate. You're going to see actual properties, real cash flow numbers in Mid South's best deal terms ever, followed by a live Q and A, and it's available exclusively to attendees. Again, you can sign up at getricheducation.com/midsouth. Until next week, I'm your host Keith Weinhold. Don't quit your daydream. daydream.   Speaker 3  43:04   Nothing on this show should be considered specific, personal, or professional advice.

What does it mean to be physically capable as we grow older?For Pilates coach and educator Peter Clerkin, it means developing the strength, cardiovascular fitness, balance, mobility and confidence to participate fully in life.A serious football injury at 15, followed by a long recovery and learning to walk again, changed Peter's relationship with movement. He later completed marathons and triathlons and built a career helping other people improve their physical capabilities.In this conversation, Peter explains why Pilates is only one part of a well-rounded physical life. He also discusses exercise after 40, the value of enjoyment and social connection, his decision to stop drinking alcohol and why our ambitions should not diminish as we grow older.--Bio: Peter Clerkin is an Irish Pilates teacher, coach and educator based in London. After graduating in Sport and Exercise Science, he coached soccer in Seattle before moving to London in 2013. Since then, he has completed more than 20,000 hours of teaching and coaching. Peter sees Pilates not as the complete answer, but as one part of a varied and active life. His approach to healthspan begins with what people want to keep doing, from travelling and playing sport to feeling confident trying something new. He is now developing Future Pilates.DISCLOSURE: This podcast is supported by affiliate arrangements with a select number of companies.

Michael Moritz led Sequoia Capital for nearly two decades and backed some of the defining companies of the internet era.  In his new memoir, Ausländer, he turns his attention to his own family, Jewish refugees who fled Nazi Germany and rebuilt their lives in Wales.  We discuss the imprint his parents left on him, the method he used for decades of asking founders about their childhoods and the Time profile that ended his relationship with Steve Jobs.  We also also cover Lee Iacocca, why Don Valentine hired him, Alex Ferguson's approach to managing players, Elon Musk, and why Mike still struggles to feel proud of anything he has done.

Michael Thomas is the founder and CEO of Cleanview, a data and research platform tracking more than 10,000 clean energy projects and thousands of data center projects across the country. Back for his third appearance on Inevitable, Thomas has spent the past year investigating the explosive growth of AI infrastructure and the increasingly extreme measures companies are taking to get power online.In this episode of Inevitable, Thomas explains how the AI boom has transformed the data center market and why companies are increasingly building their own power generation rather than waiting years for grid interconnection. He breaks down the rise of off-grid and “behind-the-meter” data centers, including xAI's Colossus, Meta's rapid-deployment data centers, and Amazon's massive natural gas project in Texas.The conversation also explores the economics driving the race to power, the environmental and political backlash against data centers, and whether building gas generation today will accelerate or undermine the transition to cleaner energy. Thomas shares what his research reveals about electricity prices, water use, local pollution, and the growing public distrust of Big Tech.Finally, Thomas discusses the tension between AI growth, U.S. competitiveness, and climate goals—and why he sees providing objective information about these projects as one of the most important roles he can play.Episode recorded on September 2, 2026 (Published on September 16, 2026) Enjoyed this episode?

The Star Wars: Resistance episodes “The Disappeared” and “Descent” take place right at the beginning of The Force Awakens, so we're detouring back into animated territory to cover the lead-up to the destruction of Hosnian Prime.In our coverage this week, we talk about the fascistic tendency of “disappearing” people and how it lines up (or doesn't) with the social contract on the Colossus. We also talk through the appeal of an Agent Tierney to a young person like Tam; why Doza might be continuing to submit to the First Order; and how Leia is activating new Resistance cells across the galaxy.Want more Growing Up Skywalker?

My guest today is Walter Russell Mead. Walter is a columnist at the Wall Street Journal and the author of Special Providence and God and Gold, two of the best books written on American power.  He has spent decades studying how the United States came to dominate the world, and our conversation is about whether it can keep doing so.  Walter lays out the five step playbook that carried the Dutch, then the British, then America to global leadership, and why the same pattern keeps beating centralized continental powers.  We discuss how Trump turned fame into power, the four schools of American foreign policy and the rise of the tech Hamiltonians, what the drone war in Ukraine means for the Pentagon, and why the erosion of deterrence is the deeper story in the Middle East.  Please enjoy my conversation with Walter Russell Mead.

Data centers can be built to add more water to a community than they draw, be powered in greener ways, avoid disturbing people with noise, and not increase local utility rates. But that's not happening right now. WSJ tech columnist Christopher Mims discusses how data centers can be built with people in mind. Plus, new smartglasses from Snap are weeks away. Journal deputy media editor Jessica Toonkel explains why the social-media company is making such a big gamble on the tech.

GrokBot donne à des agents autonomes un accès complet à vos outils, vos mails et ils bossent pendant que vous dormez. Ce n'est plus un assistant qu'on interroge, c'est une équipe qu'on dirige. Produit réel ou roadmap déguisée ? La stratégie d'Elon Musk est bien huilée : il contrôle le compute avec Colossus, le loue à ses propres rivaux, et a absorbé Cursor pour accélérer sa roadmap produit. Pendant ce temps, Sam Altman fait machine arrière sur la révolution IA au moment où il approche de son IPO. Le vrai basculement est là : le travail ne consiste plus à exécuter, mais à déléguer, superviser et arbitrer.

Despite its public image as a Sino-Russian answer to NATO, the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) is a very different beast. Each member state has its own reason for being part of such a vast organization. China uses it as a means of exerting influence, Russia uses it as a tribune for its foreign policy squabbles with the West, and Central Asian countries see it as a source of power and also a chance to portray themselves at home as important global players. As it turns 25, what has the SCO achieved? What are the stumbling blocks to increasing cooperation? Is the organization destined to be dominated by China?

My guest today is Sarah Guo, founder and managing partner of Conviction, the venture firm she built to back AI-native companies from their earliest days.  Sarah has become one of the most sought-after early-stage investors in AI, often the first check into the companies defining the frontier.  In this conversation, we go inside that frontier: what the small group of people actually building AI believe right now, why some of the field's best researchers are wrestling with their own sense of purpose, and how close we are to robots in the home and a genuine acceleration in scientific discovery.  At the center is Sarah's conviction that no single company will own the future of AI, and what that means for founders, investors, and anyone allocating their time and resources in a world moving this fast. Our managing editor Dom Cooke wrote a profile of Sarah for Colossus, "Sarah's Wager," on how she built the firm closest to the AI frontier and why she's now betting against its biggest companies.  Please enjoy this conversation with Sarah Guo.

My guest today is Neil Movva, founder of Sail. Sail is building what Neil calls a token factory, an inference company designed for a specific kind of future, one where AI agents run in the background for hours or days at a time rather than answering a human in real time.  In that world, latency matters less and cost matters more, and Neil has built the whole company around driving the cost of a token as low as it can possibly go. What makes this conversation special is that it is one of the most detailed tours I have ever done through the full stack of intelligence, the software, the chips, and the power, and how all three connect.  Along the way we cover the trade-off between speed and cost that lives inside every GPU, his scavenger strategy for buying the chips and power nobody else wants, his contrarian view on Nvidia, and why the premium the frontier labs charge for being three to six months ahead may not last.  Please enjoy my conversation with Neil Movva.

Get ready for some serious mutant madness on Super Hero Speak! Dave and Don are breaking down X-Men news, rumors, and jaw-dropping comic revelations. We kick things off with a deep dive into the comics: Did Peter Parker actually invent the mutant inhibitor in Spider-Man: Brand New Day? We look at the implications this has for the webslinger and the mutant community. Then, we shift focus to the MCU! Rumors are heavily pointing toward Marvel's X-Men reboot featuring the classic "Original 5" roster—Cyclops, Jean Grey, Beast, Angel, and Iceman. With Odessa A'Zion playing coy about taking on the role of Rogue as a student at Xavier's School, and Matt Wood's name constantly coming up as the next Wolverine, the mutant cinematic universe is rapidly taking shape. We'll discuss how these casting pieces fit together, whether this is the right direction for Marvel Studios, and if Don will ever get to see his all-time favorite, Colossus, join the MCU team! To top it all off, we're giving our full breakdown and spoiler review of the epic X-Men '97 Season 2 Finale. Join the conversation in the live chat, let us know who you want to see cast in the MCU!

This week we're covering two huge X-Men moments in one episode. First, we break down the back half of X-Men '97 Season 2 (episodes 5-9), Wolverine's Weapon X reunion, the Danger Room fallout, Colossus's turn to the Acolytes, Gambit's possession by Apocalypse, and that gut-punch finale where Nightcrawler sacrifices himself for Rogue. We also unpack the post-credits twist: Mystique replacing Val Cooper and Graydon Creed's election as President, and what that means for the Brotherhood of Mutants heading into Season 3. Then we shift gears to Marvel's live-action X-Men reboot, hitting theaters May 5, 2028. We react to the full cast reveal from D23:  Sadie Sink as Jean Grey, Kit Connor as Cyclops, Christopher Abbott as Professor X, Samara Weaving as Emma Frost, Inde Navarrette as Rogue, Maya Boyd as Storm, and Adam Driver as Mister Sinister — including the debate around finally casting Storm right and whether an unknown-actor bet like Maya Boyd's could be Marvel's next Hugh Jackman moment.

Ben is one of my favorite business thinkers and I love talking to him about everything happening in markets and technology.  We go through every important company, including OpenAI, Nvidia, Intel, Apple, Microsoft, Google, and Amazon. We also discuss why he thinks it would be dangerous for the United States to win the AI race outright, what container shipping and the railroads of the 1870s tell us about the buildout, and why the binding constraint on all of this may be capital rather than compute.  Please enjoy my conversation with Ben Thompson.

Keith explains why achieving scale rather than simply earning more is the key to long-term financial freedom and how income property uniquely delivers multiple forms of leverage.  He breaks down 25 years of inflation data to reveal which everyday costs have most outpaced wages and what that means for the real purchasing power of the dollar.  Keith also explains why markets like Memphis—combining strong cash flow fundamentals with a massive new AI infrastructure build-out—are positioned as compelling targets for long-term real estate investors.

This is Get Rich Education.   Keith Weinhold  1:49   Welcome to GRE from Livonia, Michigan, to Laconia, New Hampshire, and across 188 nations worldwide. You are listening to Get Rich Education. I'm your host, Keith Weinhold, heading up this slackjaw operation for another wealth-building week. But at least I'm just a slackjaw. If this slackjaw gets lockjaw, it would probably end the show. Now I've got to tell you, when I meet a 25-year-old, I soon tend to learn about their job because it takes a lot of their time, even if I don't ask them about it, and I find out that a 25-year-old is usually an employee of some sort. They're working for somebody else, depending on our conversational flow. I ask that person this question: Have you considered adding scale to your life? And they usually don't know what I mean. I ask that question because, sadly, today it's less common to live an economically vibrant life if you have a quote normal job like a teacher, engineer, retail manager, app developer, or other normal jobs like a firefighter, truck driver, physical therapist, or social media manager, that is not going to lead to an economically vibrant life with options and freedom. I mean, you used to be able to raise a family of four in New York City. That opportunity is just gone for anyone under a certain age. Well, what about say doctors, corporate executives, and attorneys, including some people that might be older than 25. I mean, professions like this can still pay exceptionally well. But even white-collar careers now have AI breathing down their necks. AI is drafting briefs, reading scans, and virtually attending meetings without pretending to enjoy them. Okay, well, what about the outcome for a 25-year-old that's gone along with the somewhat more nascent trend of rising AI sheltered trades like plumbing, electrical, HVAC, welding, carpentry, equipment repair, and these other types of jobs where ChatGPT can't crawl beneath your sink. Look, here's the thing: it doesn't matter whether you wear scrubs, a suit, or a tool belt. Employment has one stubborn limitation: even if you grind hard, even if your body holds up, even if promotions help you climb to the top of the corporate ladder, when you stop working, the income stops. That's the big problem, and yet people keep designing their life this way, employees lack scale. Now, what is scale? Scale is your ability to increase your wealth or income without increasing your personal time and effort at the same rate. Now, employees can find just a little scale. 401k contributions can compound for decades, sometimes with an employer match. Some employees receive stock compensation or bonuses, but employees generally sell one unit at a time. That unit is an hour. They're selling their hours for dollars, and here scale is limited, if not impossible. Real estate investors can stack several forms of scale simultaneously, and remarkably, doing it takes zero certification, zero qualification, no license, and no permission slip from the dean.   Keith Weinhold  6:05   The first way real estate investors have scale is through something that you already know so well: real estate pays five ways, leverage appreciation, 10 funded income, loan amortization, tax benefits on the entire asset, and inflation profiting on the bank's loan. Secondly, as a real estate investor, you have scale through operational leverage. Property managers, leasing agents, contractors, lenders, insurers, and software all allow just one investor, you, to control multiple properties. You don't personally collect every rent payment or replace every water heater. I mean, sheesh, that could be a plumbing career with less sleep. And this is all tenant funded. Thirdly, real estate investors have geographic leverage. An individual investor living in Los Angeles can own property in Atlanta, Tulsa, Cleveland, and Belize. Physical location does not limit where your capital works. Your body can only work in one city. Your capital can work the night shift in five. The fourth way real estate investors have scale is with replication. Once you learn how to buy and own one suitable rental, the process can be repeated. You buy, stabilize, finance, rent, and repeat. See, the first property is the hardest, and then your second property does not require learning an entirely new profession. It can be replicated. To review what you've learned so far, those are four dimensions where real estate investors achieve scale through real estate pays five ways: operational leverage, geographic leverage, and replication. Here's the important distinction: employees often mistake earning more with achieving scale.   Keith Weinhold  8:16   A surgeon making $900,000 a year earns a nice income, but see that surgeon has limited scale if the income stops when the surgeon stops working. But an investor earning just $150,000 from a portfolio possesses more scale because dozens of tenants, properties, loans, and operating systems continue functioning without your one-for-one labor. That's the distinction. That's why the $150K investor might or might not be living a better life than the 900K surgeon now, but they are set up to live a better life than the surgeon in the future. Now, your employer, the person who hires you, has scale with their many employees. But if you're an employee, you probably don't have scale. You cannot save your way to scale either. That's just stored labor. Savings become scalable only when you convert them into productive assets. Income is how much money comes in. Scale is how little your personal time needs to increase for more money to come in. You can work 20% more hours, but you cannot sustainably work 10 times more hours. Capital can be deployed across 10 assets without requiring 10 times more personal effort. And you know, once I realized this, at a certain point in my life, I was motivated to obtain loans for rental. This helped me scale and own more, replacing my active income with mostly passive income sooner. All right, so what should you do when you have this epiphany? It doesn't mean you should flip over the stupid copier machine as you storm out of work today and announce that you are now a real estate magnet. Not right away, at least employment that can be your launchpad, just like it was for me when I was a humble construction materials inspector for the state DOT. A job does provide you with some benefits like short-term advantages, seed capital, mortgage qualification.   Keith Weinhold  10:45   I'm talking about health insurance and some steady cash flow, and even some skills. But the mistake, whether you are aged 25 or 55, is allowing employment to remain the only economic engine for your entire life. Your job can fund your future, but having just one single linear income source that should not be your entire future. But you know, some people just stay on lazy cruise control at a slow speed and let their life unfurl that way. Others, you know, they merely haven't been exposed to thinking this way, and fortunately, now you have been. Really, the bottom line here is that labor won't scale; capital does scale; it compounds, and few, if any, investments offer more dimensions of scale than real estate. And you also get all kinds of other ancillary benefits by gradually tilting away from active income and toward passive income. Because increasingly, when it comes to taxes, you're going to pay lower capital gains tax rates instead of the higher ordinary income rates. The sooner you optimize this and get into as many properties as you can, you're also going to gain the ability to borrow against your assets tax-free, and so much more. Scale or fail-that's the lesson here, and most people fear change. It's why they stay stuck in relationships longer than they should, and why they stay stuck in jobs longer than they should. They keep settling for a B plus life. Don't settle for a B plus life. This is something that NYU professor Susie Welsh talks about: If you have a D life, oh, everything is lousy. You don't live where you want to live. You don't have reliable transportation. You don't have friends, and you're so very motivated to change that. If you have an A plus life, you've got it all. You get to do what you want to do, who you want to do it with, and you're tremendously incentivized to keep that. But having a B plus life like so many do, and being stuck in it, that is the most dangerous place to be. You could tread water for years and stay stuck in a life that you know you're not fully satisfied with, but it isn't so terrible that you feel compelled to change it. So the people that grow wealth know it means that sometimes you have to give up the good to have the great, and the K-shaped economic divergence that we've had in the past five years. This is really bringing things to a head, so get scale.   Keith Weinhold  13:43   Scale is the difference between grasping the financial abundance that's available to move you toward that A plus life, or staying on the treadmill, stuck and struggling. Two different people living a B plus life, you know, they have the same starting point, and making a plan is your difference maker. We help you with that here. If you're ready to add real estate scale to your financial life, drop a quick email to GRE Investment Coach Naresh for a complimentary strategy session at Naresh at getricheducation.com. You don't need any qualifications. It can take as little as a 20% down payment on a 200k to 400k rental property, and we have access so that you can buy directly from the builders and get a mortgage rate in the fives. And we are chasing the next hot thing here. Last week we discussed co-living on the show. We waited until that strategy was proven. I like strategies that have had some contact with reality. AI can compose a song, or summarize a meeting, or fabricate a photo of some. Wacky like Abraham Lincoln riding a dolphin, but it still cannot download an affordable bedroom, affordable housing. You're scaling into something sustainable that has a future and can't be easily disrupted by AI. Scale or fail. Stop settling for the B plus life. We can help right now at this moment. Drop a quick email to naresh@getricheducation.com. I should spell that out for you. It's n a r e s h@getricheducation.com.   Keith Weinhold  15:36   More straight ahead. I'm Keith Weinhold.

Listen to Get rich education with Keith Weinhold, and don't quit your daydream.   Keith Weinhold  17:33   Welcome back to Get Rich Education. I'm your host Keith Weinhold. Having residual income from real estate, it can make you more comfortable for sure, but for me, I like to primarily use it to buy back my time. I'll tell you how I just did this. It's a small thing, a small win. It is time for my car's annual routine maintenance. Boring. I really don't want to lose my time dropping it off at the dealership in the morning and then picking it up again. Those two boring round trips don't add anything to my life. But the dealership had the option of, for just 100 bucks, picking it up for me and dropping it off for me at the end of the day. Oh well, that is an opportunity for me to buy some time, so that's why I did that. Now, when it comes to flying, sometimes I fly coach and sometimes first class. I just booked a flight and I refused to pay six times as much for first class. It just wasn't really worth it this time because the experience isn't that much better, and it sure doesn't save me any time. I tend to do that if the price is just 3x more, so I'll pay to save time, but not always to borrow a wider seat for five hours. And you and I both make hundreds of time versus money decisions every day, most of them small.   Keith Weinhold  19:04   With the more residual income you have, you're gonna make better decisions where you can choose the time over the money. One thing's for sure: whatever we're doing with our money, and that is that our dollar does not go as far as it used to. Let's look at inflation during the first 25 years of this century. This is really interesting. We're going to see how the cost of goods and services has changed from 2000 to the end of 2025 on some select categories that you spend on, and then I've got some mind-bending takeaways for you once I describe this chart, and this is the same chart that I sent to you last Thursday. If you are one of my newsletter readers, but I can open up and talk about it more here than I can in the newsletter because I keep that short. Overall inflation is about. 93% during this time period. 93% over these 25 years. Now, here are the items that rose less than that much, meaning that they became then more affordable over this span. What fell the most is the price of televisions down more than 90% in the first 25 years of this century? Toys down 74% Computer software down 73% Cell phones down 44% By the way, this all uses the government's CPI inflation rate, clothing up just one and a half percent, and even though it's up, that's still more affordable because it's up less than the overall 93% CPI inflation rate over this span. Household furnishings up 21% and finally new cars up 26% So all those items became more affordable because they rose less than the general rate of inflation. All right, moving on up. Now we're going to go above the line. Items above the 93% overall inflation rate, food and beverages were up 106% housing up 111% average hourly wages up 131% All right, let's pause. Yes, wages then outpacing 93% inflation. but of course, since that 93% uses the government CPI, well, that's pretty understated. Probably, you know, the true dispersing power of the dollar is probably more than 93% So it's debatable about whether there are real wage gains from 2000 to the end of 2025, medical care services up 147% Next in the category that has become less affordable is childcare, up 159% And as I'm naming these, there are some common threads here where I think you're going to have a few epiphanies when I point them out. College textbooks up 177%. Sheesh, what a scam! College tuition and fees up 197%, and finally the major category that became less affordable here at the top is the worst of all: hospital services. They have soared the most, up over 281% All right, there they are.   Keith Weinhold  22:57   And what takeaways do we have here? The items that became less affordable tend to be where the government either provides subsidies or they heavily regulate and mandate the product or service, like education, child care, and medical care. The categories that have become more affordable-that's where there is little or minimal government intervention, like clothing and technology. The lesson is that free market competition kept prices low, and some of these categories that became more affordable-you know-they would have become even more affordable than that if it weren't for profligate dollar printing, sadly, the items that have become less affordable-and this could really upset you-the items whose price increases exceed the overall rate of inflation, like medical care and housing, these are life's necessities. They are not once the stuff you need most got harder to obtain, healthcare is the ultimate example of this. It's sad to say, but you'll either pay the fee or you'll die, and the price reflects this. With hospital services up 281% outpacing the overall rate of inflation by about 3x. Also, items that have become more affordable, they are then generally the more discretionary purchases like furnishings, toys, and televisions. You can live without that stuff. Items that have become less affordable. They also tend to be more in-sourced activity, while those more affordable are outsourced, like to China. If you've noticed the trend, then anything involving people in the United States will be expensive, like child. Care and medical care. It involves people in the United States, and then it just gets more and more expensive. And this is also why service prices increase more and goods prices increase less. People are expensive.   Keith Weinhold  25:18   Microchips don't ask for dental insurance, and microchips don't file sexual harassment lawsuits. Overall, inflation was just 2.66% per year during this time period. But when it's compounded for this long, that's how it got to 93% cumulatively. But of course, inflation is higher than this 2.66 rate here in the late 2020s, and inflation is poised to rise even more than the level that it's at now. The war in Iran has pushed up energy prices 24% and these costs seep into almost everything, all right. But you're probably aware of this already, so I'm not going to discuss it much more because I discussed that before, like on episode 606, nearly two months ago when I called it our most important message in years, all right. But few seem to understand that this is just one part of a new inflation triple whammy. First, you've got spiking energy prices, like I mentioned. Second, more U.S. tariffs, and third, you've got mushrooming AI spending, and as a result of all this, this new inflation triple whammy that most people aren't aware of, this has pushed up bond yields to their highest point since 2007, and pressure is mounting for the Fed to jack up rates. Mortgage rates are soaring right along with them, and they are now near 7% Could mortgage rates reach 8% This is a real question now. The bottom line here is that inflation made the dollar lose nearly half its purchasing power in the first quarter century. Real asset owners will win, especially leveraged income property owners. This raises the property's replacement costs, spikes rents, and erodes your mortgage's real burden. Nearly everyone else is going to lose, and I don't want to lose a learning moment for you here. Bond yields-they are closely tied to what future mortgage rates are going to be. It's not about what the Fed does, and this is not as esoteric as some people think. This correlation between inflation, bond yields, and mortgage rates. Bonds pay a fixed interest rate long term.   Keith Weinhold  28:01   For example, the 10-year Treasury bond right now pays about 4.7% each year for the next 10 years. That's what that means. Now, would you lock in your investment for 10 years in order to get a 4.7% return? Well, if you were a conservative investor, maybe you would if you knew that inflation was only going to be 2% because then you'd be making about a 2.7% real return on your investment each year risk free. But if you expect inflation was going to be 5% over the next 10 years, oh well, then locking in a return of 4.7% means that you would lose real purchasing power every year. Investors don't want to lose money, so if investors expect that inflation is going to be higher, they will only buy bonds if they're paying higher amounts. And the bond market is telling us that as of today, investors expect at least 4.7% inflation over the next 10 years. If things change and they expect inflation to be higher than that, well, then bond yields will go up. If they expect inflation to decrease, for example, from a recession, bond yields will go down. So therefore, Treasury bonds are a true representation of investor inflation expectations and the movement of that bond yield-that is the number one factor that moves mortgage rates in that same direction. There's your explanation. That wasn't so hard. The market does not believe we're going to escape the Middle East war without substantial inflation or energy supply chain issues. That's what that means. Now, what else is going on in this era is the continuation of a reduction in the volume. Of housing transactions, fewer deals are happening. It had its recent peak of 6 million existing homes changing hands back in 2021. In 2022, it was 5 million, and it's been about 4 million transactions every year since. Now, as far as investor activity, just looking at that, for big investors, activity that's been sideways to a little down these past few years. But let's look at ourselves for smaller investors, mom and pop types, defined as those doing 10 or fewer deals per year, which probably includes you. You know, each of the past three years, activity has been up for smaller investors like you. You have gradually been purchasing more property, and this is as reported by realtor.com. Okay, what are the reasons for this?   Keith Weinhold  30:55   Well, back during the pandemic, you had to compete with owner-occupied buyers, that's when open house lines stretch down the block, and today there are fewer bidders in the room, and small investors are buying because builders are buying down your mortgage rate for you. That's another reason, and the source analysis it found that investors are sticking to affordable Midwest and Sun Belt markets that have strong rental demand. In fact, they're buying at least one out of every five homes in Memphis, Kansas City, St. Louis, Birmingham, and Oklahoma City. Real estate providers know that some prospective owner-occupant homeowners and even some investors-they won't buy anything at today's market mortgage rates, even though you and I know that these rates are historically normal. But providers-they need to stay in business. They need to keep turning things over. They need to sell property. They need to keep their people busy. They're not running museums here, so they're making sure that mortgage rate buydowns happen. And one of the most lucrative sources that I know about for investors is Mid South Homebuyers because they have investment property where the numbers work in Tennessee, Arkansas, and Texas with mortgage rates in the fives and a conventional loan with 25% down. A lot of their income properties cost under 200k, and these are quality homes in decent neighborhoods. I've physically walked inside many of them myself, not by drone, not with a virtual tour, not by AI, and not through some glossy brochure with suspiciously perfect lighting. The reason I'm telling you about this now is that this mortgage rate is one part of their limited triple five program. Here's what else we get as investors: a mortgage rate near 5% like I mentioned, and a 5% property management fee for five years. Though leverage has its benefits, if you decide to pay all cash instead, they provide you with the 5% property management for life, even if you finance later. I think they call that their forever five. Frankly, it's just amazing how many investors rave about the quality of their rehabs and say that their property management never seems to mess up in this industry. I mean, that is about as common as a calm political debate, or perhaps an airline actually improving legroom, and I have helped recommend Mid Health Homebuyers to our listeners for over 11 years. I know some followers that have looked at their available properties and scooped up three properties on one phone call. In fact, where they're based and have a lot of their available properties, Memphis. You know, Memphis has a story where I don't know if any other market in America can tell it right now. Do you know what's happening? Memphis is developing into having both the new brains and the brawn behind AI, and you got more smart money moving there now. Memphis is now home to the world's largest AI supercomputer. It's XAI's Colossus. It's now part of SpaceX. It's the biggest single-site AI facility on the entire planet. Anthropic is paying over a billion dollars a month to run Claude on it. Google just signed a deal worth up to 30 billion starting october 1, and I look forward to announcing that I have got a live event that I am co-hosting for you the day before this happens on september 30.   Keith Weinhold  34:56   So yes, that's the night before Google's money starts flowing. Into Memphis in one year, XAI became the second largest taxpayer in Memphis after FedEx, and the city has committed 25% of the property tax revenue from those sites to infrastructure in the surrounding neighborhoods. And when you add in FedEx, because Memphis already moves more physical goods than anywhere else in the country, you can see how Memphis is increasingly becoming the brains of the digital economy, while it's already been the brawn of the physical one. In every other market, you know they showcase things like their population growth and the rent-to-price ratios, and those attributes certainly matter, but now the fact that perhaps the biggest infrastructure story in America is happening in the most affordable major cash flow market—I mean, this is something that almost nobody has connected the dots on. So join me and my two co-hosts that lead Mid South Home Buyers.   Keith Weinhold  36:01   We're going to discuss market fundamentals, the AI build out, what it means for jobs, rent in neighborhoods over the next decade, and then a heavy live Q and A on Mid South. You're invited to join me. This is happening again on Wednesday, September 30th. It's at 8p.m. Eastern. Yes, you will have me live. Sign up at getricheducation.com/midsouth. It's a special event as Memphis is positioning to become both the brawn and brains of AI and a property provider that already makes a lot of sense for investors.
