What about well-known spots you ended up leaving early?What were some of the biggest challenges you faced?Are there any common mistakes people make when they're just starting out?After a couple of years on the road, you decided to settle in one place again.

Commercial property isn’t just “resi with higher yields” — it’s a whole different game with its own language, rules, and risks. In this episode, we sit down with Helen Tarrant, founder of Unikorn Commercial Property, to unpack what investors really need to know before making the leap. Helen reveals why mindset is the first hurdle when moving from residential to commercial, and why too many investors skip the education that could save them from costly mistakes. We explore the key levers that drive a property’s value — lease term, location, tenant quality, and asset type — and why small changes in these can mean big shifts in price and yield. She also shares hard truths on price points, explaining where the “rats and mice” risks live, and why under $1.5 million can be a danger zone for serious investors. From syndicates that give smaller investors access to multimillion-dollar assets, to practical strategies for tenant risk management and value uplift, Helen covers the nuts and bolts of building what she calls a “unicorn portfolio” — one that balances cashflow, growth, and uplift potential. She doesn’t shy away from the mistakes she’s seen (and fixed), giving listeners a forthright look at what can go wrong and how to protect yourself. Whether you’re an experienced property buyer ready to diversify, or a first-time commercial investor keen to start smart, this conversation will equip you with the insights, questions, and strategies to play the commercial game — and win. Episode Highlights 00:00 – Welcome 01:07 – Meet Helen Tarrant: Commercial Property Expert 01:44 – Differences Between Residential and Commercial Investing 02:21 – Understanding Commercial Property Fundamentals 04:50 – Evaluating Commercial Property Investments 08:23 – Common Mistakes and Misconceptions 12:30 – Identifying the Right Commercial Property 16:47 – Navigating the Commercial Property Market 25:09 – Price Points and Investment Strategies 28:36 – Understanding Syndication in Real Estate 29:16 – Securing High-Value Properties 30:10 – Mechanics of Shareholding in Syndicates 31:42 – Common Mistakes in Commercial Property Investment 34:22 – Strategies for Flipping Commercial Properties 38:00 – Identifying and Fixing Problematic Properties 41:24 – The Importance of Due Diligence 45:32 – Case Study: Rescuing a Client's Investment 50:51 – Final Thoughts and Advice About the Guest Helen Tarrant is the Founder of Unikorn Commercial Property, a specialist buyer’s agency helping everyday Australians access and succeed in the commercial property market.

In this week's episode, Paul Andrews addresses a common challenge among beginner guitarists: learning and actually remembering songs. Paul shares a structured approach to not just learning new songs but maintaining and improving them over time. Whether you're struggling to recall previously learned tunes or looking to build a solid repertoire, this episode offers practical tips and actionable steps to level up your song practice routine.Key Topics CoveredCommunity Update:Paul announces a live Zoom Q&A taking place on Sunday, 31st August at 9 pm GMT for Beginner Guitar Academy members. He details how to join, submit questions, and access the recorded session if you can't attend live.Practicing Songs vs. Practicing Skills:Songs are a collection of different skills (chords, rhythms, techniques).Key tip: Break songs down into their skill components to assess if they're suitable for your current level.Avoid picking songs that are too far above your ability; focus on skills first, then songs.A System for Learning Songs Efficiently:Step One: Pick the Right Song:Choose a song that aligns with your current skillset.Listen to the original, identify sections (intro, verse, chorus), and loop those sections in practice.Start with simplified versions and play the song slowly. Only increase tempo as you gain confidence.Step 2: The 3 Ps System for Maintaining Songs:Practice – For new or challenging songs/sections. Loop and break down tricky parts.Playthrough – For songs you can mostly play but need to keep fresh.Perform – For songs you know inside out; these are gig-ready or can be played start to finish confidently.Rotate songs between these categories as your abilities improve.Step 3 - Balancing New Songs and Old Songs (The 50/50 Rule):Don't just chase new songs or only maintain old ones. Spend half your practice on new material and half on revisiting and maintaining what you already know.Common Mistakes (and How to Fix Them):Always starting at the beginning of a tune.Not listening to the original recording.Neglecting old songs.Not keeping a song log.Collecting snippets instead of completing full songs.Practicing without a clear goal.Action Plan for This Week:Make a list of every song you can (or almost can) play.Categorize each into Practice, Playthrough, or Perform.Schedule a setlist run-through (like a mini gig at home).Add a new, suitable song to your practice pile, balance new and old (50/50).Track your song practice and progress.TakeawaysFocus on skill-appropriate songs, break them down, and use a structured maintenance method to truly own your repertoire.Rotate between learning new material and refreshing old songs to keep your playing both exciting and reliable.Set clear intentions with every song practice session to avoid getting stuck or demotivated.Celebrate your progress as songs move from “Practice” to “Playthrough” and finally “Perform”.Resources MentionedBeginner Guitar Academy: Join for a structured, supportive approach to learning, with access to live Q&As, workshops, a song library, and two weeks of access for just $1.Next Steps:Ready to make progress with your song repertoire?

Send us a textStep 12 in recovery programs calls us to share the message of recovery with others and practice these principles in every part of our lives. This step is rooted in Matthew 28:19-20, where Jesus commands us to spread His teachings and baptize others, assuring us of His constant presence. This scripture highlights the importance of our actions in demonstrating genuine care and commitment to helping others overcome addiction.Instead of boasting about our recovery, we should use our experiences to encourage newcomers and share God's grace and goodness. True recovery involves walking alongside those in need, offering support, and embodying the principles we've learned, ensuring our actions match our words. Programs like the Lifestyle Champion Cohort help us continue this mission, significantly impacting others' lives and finding fulfillment in serving our community. This approach highlights the importance of demonstrating genuine care and encouragement rather than boasting as we share God's grace with those seeking recovery. In this podcast, we explore the five common mistakes people make when pursuing recovery and how to avoid them:Failure to Acknowledge a Problem: Only you can recognize and decide to confront your addiction. Avoid letting others overshadow your realization of the issue.Not Following Your Decision with Action: Don't let the initial decision to recover fade away. Act on your commitment and seek support actively.Allowing Denial to Hold You Back: Educate yourself and seek motivation from those who've succeeded in recovery. Take responsibility and avoid blaming others.Failing to Prepare to Live a Clean & Sober Lifestyle: Celebrate your progress but be cautious. Establish new habits and boundaries to prevent relapse.Becoming Lackadaisical: Continue working on your recovery and remain vigilant. Complacency can jeopardize your progress; stay committed to your journey.By avoiding these mistakes and embracing Step 12, you align your recovery with your faith, contributing to a fulfilling and transformative journey.Order the book here: https://godtookmetolasvegas.com The 21-question assessment is here: https://randymortensen.com Our podcast is here: https://godtookmetolasvegas.buzzsprout.com And our office number is: 321.757.HOPEacourageousrecovery.com

August 13, 2025: Eric Utzinger, Co-Founder and Chief Client Officer at Revuud, tackles the world of healthcare consulting. Drawing from 15 years in healthcare consulting, Eric reveals how the industry shifted around 2013, creating a system where traditional staffing firms often add little value beyond letterhead while charging substantial markups. What happens when technology enables direct access to pre-vetted talent pools? The conversation explores how marketplace platforms can eliminate intermediary costs while maintaining quality control, and why the assumption that higher costs equal better consultants may be costing health systems more than they realize. Eric addresses the critical balance between project success, talent vetting, and transparent pricing in an industry where finding the right IT expertise quickly can make or break major implementations.

Are you using popular migration reports to guide your multifamily investments? You might be relying on the wrong signals. In this episode, Jeannette Friedrich breaks down why the U-Haul data, while eye-catching, can be dangerously misleading if taken at face value. She reveals the common pitfalls investors fall into when interpreting these trends, and how to analyse migration data in a way that supports sound multifamily investment decisions. Key Takeaways: - Why high inbound moves do not guarantee population growth: The U-Haul report shows where people are moving to, but not who is moving out. This is a critical gap in understanding net migration. - The frequency vs. volume trap: Seeing states like California mentioned often does not mean they are losing large populations. The report lacks the necessary context investors need. - Correlation does not equal causation: A spike in moves from New York to Miami does not automatically mean rents in Miami will rise. Additional factors like job growth, wage trends, and housing supply must be considered. - The overlooked macro trend: New immigration and deportation policies could result in negative net migration in the US for the first time in 50 years. This may impact labour markets, GDP, and housing demand. - How to use migration data responsibly: Jeannette shares best practices for cross-referencing sources, analysing both inbound and outbound flows, and drilling into local submarket details. This episode is essential listening for investors who want to move beyond hype and headlines. Learn how to extract meaningful insights from migration data and avoid making costly mistakes based on incomplete information.  View U-Haul's 2025 Midyear Report: https://www.uhaul.com/Articles/About/U-Haul-2025-Midyear-Migration-Trends-35212/  Timestamps 00:00 Introduction to U-Haul's 2025 Migration Trends Report 01:16 Misleading Aspects of the Report 01:37 Common Mistakes in Interpreting Migration Data 03:23 Critical Macro Factors to Consider 04:20 Best Practices for Conducting Due Diligence 05:54 Conclusion and Final Thoughts Are you REady2Scale Your Multifamily Investments?
