The Defeat of Verres Through Storytelling. Guest Author: Josiah Osgood. In 70 BCE, Cicero prosecuted Verres in a trial that showcased his masterful use of storytelling and emotional appeal. Rather than overwhelming the jury with complex financial data about embezzlement, Cicero created a vivid image of Verres as a negligent leader. He recounted how Verres ignored his duties during a pirate raid on Syracuse, choosing instead to party with local women in seaside tents. This narrative portrayed Verres as living large at the expense of the Roman citizens he was meant to defend. Overwhelmed by the evidence and the public outcry, Verres defaulted mid-trial and fled Rome. Although he was found guilty, his punishment was merely exile to Marseilles, where he was allowed to keep much of his stolen art. For the Romans, losing citizenship and political rights was considered a severe fate, though it seems mild by modern standards. This victory propelled Cicero's political career as he sought the office of consul. The election process of the time mirrors modern participation, with citizens urged to vote on the Field of Mars. 3CARTHAGE

Candice Van Dertholen did not arrive at her work in energy healing by reading about it. She lived through it.In this episode of Fine is a 4-Letter Word, host Lori Saitz sits down with energy practitioner Candice Van Dertholen for an unflinching conversation about single parenthood at 22, a Texas maximum security prison career she stumbled into out of financial desperation, an abusive marriage that escalated into a violent car ride with her children in the backseat, and the night she nearly took her own life — waking up in a hospital bed furious that she was still alive.From Joyce Meyer's Battlefield of the Mind on a hospital nightstand to affirmations she wrote thousands of times before she even knew what affirmations were, Candice traces the slow, unglamorous, piece-by-piece rebuilding that took two years before she felt like herself again. She also shares the complicated grief of finding out both ex-husbands had died within the same year, and why disenfranchised grief rarely gets the space it deserves.Now a practitioner who holds space for others in those same pivotal moments, Candice talks about why self-sabotage is almost always a story, why money in alignment multiplies, and what happens when we finally stop running from the relationship with ourselves.Listen on all platforms:Search "Fine is a 4-Letter Word" on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your shows.

We talk a lot about people-pleasing, perfectionism, overachieving, anxiety, and self-doubt. But what if those aren't actually the root problem? What if they're symptoms of something deeper, heavier, and far more hidden? In this episode, Nicole sits down with Dr. Zoe Shaw — licensed psychotherapist, relationship coach, speaker, podcast host, and author of Stronger in the Difficult Places — to unpack the uncomfortable but life-changing topic of complex shame. Not the fleeting embarrassment kind. The deep, identity-level shame that quietly shapes how we see ourselves, what we believe we deserve, and how small or safe we allow ourselves to play in life. Dr. Zoe shares her own deeply personal story and explains how shame develops, how it disguises itself as “normal” behavior, and why healing requires more than just positive affirmations and surface-level self-help. This conversation dives into trauma, self-worth, people-pleasing, boundaries, vulnerability, confirmation bias, and the stories we carry about ourselves — often without realizing it. In This Episode, We Explore: The difference between guilt, shame, and complex shame Why people-pleasing and perfectionism may actually be rooted in shame How shame shapes identity, relationships, and self-worth The hidden ways women learn to hide themselves Why overachieving can become a coping mechanism The “phantom critic” vs. the “courageous truth teller” Why healing starts with honesty, not toxic positivity Practical first steps for untangling deep shame patterns How vulnerability helps shame lose its power Thank you to our sponsors!

Senior technicians are often built for the big stuff.Transmissions. Heavy line. Diagnostics. Complex repairs. The jobs that take skill, patience, and experience. But what happens when the shop needs those same technicians to take on more general service?Oil changes. Inspections. Same-day work. Smaller jobs. Gravy work.In Episode 2 of Earned Influence, Jami Alexander brings a real shop leadership question to the panel:How do you get senior specialized technicians to buy into gravy work when they're used to heavier, more complex repair?Mindy Williams, Racheal Bright, and Joshua Taylor talk through the real issue.It's not about forcing techs to do the work.It's about helping them understand why the work matters.It's about customer expectations.It's about shop flow.It's about using apprentices properly.It's about showing experienced technicians that smaller work can still create value for the customer, the technician, and the business.And maybe most importantly, it's about reminding senior technicians that the way they handle the simple work teaches the next generation how to care for customers when they're gone.Earned Influence is a panel series built around real conversations with women in automotive, fixed ops, service, leadership, and the trades.Featuring:Jami Alexanderhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/jami-a-4075a9271/Mindy Williamshttps://www.linkedin.com/in/mindy-williams-700b791b7/Racheal Brighthttps://www.linkedin.com/in/racheal-bright-08281262/⚠️ Disclaimer:I'm a licensed mechanic.

Most people choose a perfume. Elise Wilson chooses a version of herself. As a beauty editor and lifelong fragrance lover, Elise has built a scent wardrobe for every part of her life. There's a fragrance for work, a fragrance for date night, a fragrance for the gym, and even fragrances that are now permanently tied to specific chapters, relationships and memories. In this episode, Bahar and Elise explore the role perfume plays in confidence, self-expression and daily rituals. From growing up watching her mother apply Chanel and Estée Lauder fragrances, to discovering the scents that make her feel powerful, attractive, joyful or completely herself, Elise shares the deeply personal ways fragrance has shaped her life. Together they discuss scent wardrobes, layering rituals, fragrance compliments, luxury versus dupes, and the perfumes they continue to treasure long after trends have come and gone. This is a conversation about perfume not as a beauty product, but as a daily act of becoming. Key Takeaways Fragrance is often our strongest connection to memory and emotion. Many of our earliest beauty memories are linked to the scents worn by our mothers and grandmothers. Building a fragrance wardrobe allows scent to support different moods, occasions and identities. Fragrance can become a powerful confidence ritual before stepping into the world. Nostalgia can be triggered instantly through scent, both positively and negatively. Signature fragrances become part of how others remember us. Luxury fragrance remains one of the most personal forms of self-expression.

We're back with a whole new season of On the Scent Podcast!While we had a break on the main pod, we've still been recording our Patreon exclusive episodes every week, which you can catch up with on patreon.com https://www.patreon.com/u84518038Meanwhile, we've been busy attending some incredible new launches, many of which you'll hear about in this episode, and Nicola and her husband, Chris, got to have bespoke fragrances made for them by Nicola Pozzani, the Global Fragrance Ambassador and Bespoke Perfumer for Floris London! She's talking us through the entire process here, and you'll hear some recordings she made in the historic Jermyn Street perfumer's office on the day.Suzy also got to experience something rather wonderful, visiting the newly appointed Chanel salon in Harrods for a ‘Grand Parfumeur' session revealing the fascinating symbolism present in Chanel's life, aesthetics, and the new Extrait perfumes. She also attended the jaw-dropping launch of BDK's three new fragrances, each inspired by spectacular fabrics.After talking about the celeb-filled celebrations of The Fragrance Foundation Awards, with more being more, there's much talk of what's on the current ‘can't stop wearing list' (which includes a latex and lipstick scent Nicola adores, a mushroom fragrance Suzy's obsessed by, and a reconnection with a past perfume love).On this week's episode…Floris London Bespoke Experience:https://tinyurl.com/florisbespokeBDK Stellar Silk‘Stellar Silk unfolds around the milky, textured richness of a creamy, precious sandalwood. At the top, a spicy spark of ginger and cinnamon bark is delicately dusted with saffron. Then, the floral heart of iris unfolds, echoing the intimate caress of fabric against the skin, enveloped in vanilla, tonka bean, and the profound warmth of benzoin tears. In the base, sandalwood and musks carry and extend the trail with gentle intensity. Like a precious thread of silk, Stellar Silk lays a veil of sensuality across the skin. A fragrance of passion, it radiates as a luminous halo, balancing depth and lightness to create an enduring, timeless elegance. Around the silk, a universe of luxury emerges, defined by a noble material exploring with subtlety the porous boundaries between masculine and feminine wardrobes. The softness and delicacy of the fabric flirt with the sensuality of evening gowns, evoking Haute Couture silhouettes where creative freedom blurs boundaries, reminiscent of designs by Yves Saint Laurent or Valentino Garavani. In the airy, whispering rustle of muslin, an ode rises to the preciousness of a millennia-old material, noble and treasured.'BDK Silver Ceremony‘Silver Ceremony is conceived in resonance with the precious radiance of sequins. At the top, bergamot, green mandarin, and lemon illuminate the fragrance as light strikes metal, sparkling with a crystalline, vibrant, almost icy freshness, heightened by the spicy brilliance of ginger and pink pepper. In the base, woody notes unfold, dominated by cedar, set with patchouli and oud, and faceted with the amber nuances of labdanum. A textured creation, rich in energy and vibration, where freshness accentuates depth and warmth anchors luminosity. Constructed like an architectural masterpiece in which movement and stillness coexist, it is at once solid and fluid. Like a luminous, shimmering, ethereal garment, Silver Ceremony reveals itself as a fragrance with an electric, magnetic, incisive, and radiant signature. In the 1960s, when Paco Rabanne was celebrated as a metallurgist, he boldly wove metal into his creations, sculpting dresses with the precision of an architect. Thierry Mugler conjured robotized silhouettes, evoking a visionary, almost cosmic futurism. As for sequins, with their meticulous artisanal craftsmanship, they endure as a luminous and precious signature of Haute Couture, illuminating the most sophisticated ensembles with a radiant brilliance.'BDK Oud Paradiso‘Oud Paradisio unveils itself: a fragrance at once powerful, captivating, opulent, and audacious. Dominating with majesty is a dark, enveloping oud wood. At the top, the fresh, citrusy brightness of bergamot is enlivened by the juicy, succulent sweetness of frosted pineapple, while a subtle veil of incense and saffron whispers through the composition. The exquisite floral heart unfolds as a precious trio of roses, two essences and an absolute, imbuing the composition with elegance and depth. The warm base marries shadowy oud with cocoa, creating an arrangement rich in intensity and sumptuous voluptuousness. Sensuality blossoms among a woody warmth, nuanced with subtle restraint. Its assertive character is sculpted by the animalic accents revealed through the potent olfactory presence of oud essence. Complex and surprising, Oud Paradisio is a nocturnal perfume steeped in mystery. In fashion, leather claims its nobility without forsaking its innate animality, which imparts strength and commanding presence. Designers have challenged leather, shaping it into a second skin, Claude Montana in the 1980s with exaggerated shoulders crafted for fearless, audacious personalities. More recently, Rick Owens has celebrated this material with brilliance, transgressing its codes with boldness, even a hint of provocation. Animalistic by nature, leather embodies strength, power, and confidence.'Atelier Rebul Istanbul‘Discover the hidden scents of Istanbul with this eau de parfum. The glittering notes of bergamot is blended with spicy notes of cinnamon, saffron and clove, as well as floral and woody notes. The fragrance of our Istanbul collection is truly striking and unique.' Vyrao Ludatrix‘Naughty notes of lipstick and latex entwine with powdery rose, energising sichuan pepper and courage-enhancing orris to cast Ludatrix's enticing and empowered spell. Tantalising ambrette for igniting arousal is layered with voluptuous cedarwood, sandalwood and olibanum for positivity and protection, while a potent blend of ambrox and musk sparks sensuality. Bold and boundless desire, bottled.'Nasomatto MicrodelirioAll we're told is ‘The fragrance is the result of a natural vital delirium, evoking a flourishing ecosystem of organic disobedience.' Suzy senses ultra-realistic petrichor (rain soaked earth), creamy mushrooms, leaf-mulchy forest floor, vetiver, perhaps some beetroot fruitiness (?) and bags of patchouli earthiness. Lush Ginger‘A fragrance of the sensation of tasting ginger for the first time and feel it warming your body. Ginger is combined with flowers – mimosa, geranium, rose, ylang ylang and jasmine. A touch of juniper berry makes the composition vivid and fruity.'Goldfield & Banks Ingenious Ginger‘Ingenious Ginger is a floral amber perfume inspired by the lush Atherton Tablelands. red back ginger blends with bergamot, mandarin, magnolia, vanilla, amber and australian sandalwood.A world-first exploration of Australian Red Back Ginger, this best-selling Eau De Parfum offers an instant sense of nature in a blissful and sultry destination.'Buy issue 1 of On The Scent magazine and feast your eyes on the fabulous fragrant features, news and reviews in print!

If you're tired of being told to "just patch," we understand. The threat landscape is evolving at breakneck speed, with AI-driven tools enabling adversaries to uncover and exploit vulnerabilities before defenders even know they exist. In this episode of Talos Takes, Amy sits down with Threat Intelligence Lead Pierre Cadieux to discuss how to defend against these unknown threats. We move past the simplified advice of "just patch everything" to explore the logistical, technical, and business realities that make patching a complex, high-stakes operation rather than a simple button click.From the necessity of testing your patches to the importance of building strong partnerships between security teams and business leadership, this episode breaks down the things defenders often miss that build true resilience in organizations.

Finding a good real estate deal isn't about looking for perfect properties; it's about looking for massive problems that other people are too tired, scared, or inexperienced to solve. In this episode, I break down exactly how my partners and I acquired a 108-unit apartment complex in Houma, Louisiana for $3.5 million from a distressed seller. The property was decent, but it had a fatal flaw: skyrocketing non-recourse insurance premiums post-Hurricane Ida that were completely wiping out the cash flow. I take you behind the scenes of the value-add strategy—including how we literally moved the flood plain line to cut our insurance premiums by more than half, replaced electrical panels to secure better debt, and executed a full BRRRR (Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance, Repeat) on a commercial scale. If you want to make real money in commercial real estate, stop looking for turnkey assets and start looking for problems to solve. Thanks for listening!

In today's Cloud Wars Minute, I break down how DynaTech Systems enabled Solmax to turn operational complexity into global efficiency with D365, Power BI, and Microsoft Fabric. Highlights 00:03 — Today I want to take a bit of a dive into a specific case study: the story about the impact of digital transformation enabled by one company on the business outcomes of another. I love having the opportunity to explore stories like this because, as important as it is to discuss the technology itself, how it's implemented and what that implementation can lead to is just as critical. 00:41 — Solmax is a leading geosynthetics manufacturer focused on civil and environmental infrastructure, operating across four continents through 32 legal entities. This broad reach, although great from a growth perspective, was creating challenges such as data silos, inconsistent processes, and a lack of standardized reporting, which affected financial and operational insights. 01:08 — Beyond this, manual processes led to inefficiencies. Complex sales price calculations hindered productivity, and reliance on outdated Microsoft systems resulted in slower Power BI report refresh times. To address these challenges, Solmax had a core goal: the One Organization, One Data, One Reporting initiative. 01:52 — DynaTech has a number of solutions it will tailor to suit the outcomes of an individual client. In the case of Solmax, the company opted for its finance optimization solution. After process consulting, DynaTech enabled a greenfield implementation of D365 Finance and Supply Chain Management with unified processes across 32 entities. 03:17 — Beyond this, unified real-time dashboards enhanced global reporting, supported faster decision-making, and improved the company's audit readiness. Solmax was able to reduce freight costs, accelerate delivery cycles, improve truck utilization, minimize penalties, and shorten accounts payable and receivable processing times. Less manual intervention meant fewer errors. Visit Cloud Wars for more.

The challenging field of family law is a vital part of the litigation profession, demanding an understanding of both the law and the psychological trauma that can dramatically affect the well-being of children and others caught in the middle. Guest Ashish Joshi is a Michigan attorney and author who has devoted his career to helping those struggling through the most difficult situations imaginable. Family violence, coercion, and control are, unfortunately, a huge and often under recognized part of our legal reality. The field of family law can include issues including parental alienation, child abduction, the weaponization of children and their relationships with sparring parents, gaslighting and manipulation, and even complicated adjacent areas of law such as hidden assets, stalking, and pet abuse. Family law litigation requires a complex skill set and mental toughness, but it's a vital part of our lives. Joshi shares how practicing in the field involves working with people going through the worst period of their lives, the protection of innocent and powerless victims, and the field of psychology and human behavior. Looking for a challenge and the opportunity to make a difference in someone's life? Family law litigation is a demanding and rewarding field. Also in this episode, quick tips from Erin Clifford, managing director at Clifford Law Offices, about avoiding legal burnout. Have a question, comment, or suggestion for an upcoming episode?

John Medina's short film, The Cure Complex, explores the epidemic of drug addiction in prison and the systemic failures that perpetuate Substance Use Disorder (SUD) in the prison system. "Recovery is an industry, and industries need customers. Rehabs don't succeed when people move on, they succeed when people stay," says Medina, whose own journey through addiction and incarceration motivated him to be an agent of change. His film highlights the importance of addressing the root causes of substance use — including trauma, poverty and isolation. Nationally, approximately 58% of the US prison population has active SUD. In California, where Medina's film is based, it's 65%. Yet, treatment behind bars is limited, inconsistent and often deadly. Only 15% of those assessed as needing help actually receive it. "True recovery isn't about quitting something, it's about building something,” says Medina. By investing in people, not just prescriptions, we can build more humane and effective pathways to healing addiction and staying clean, so that people can move onto meaningful and productive lives. Sadly, the current system, through ineffective, "evidence-based" practices, actually keeps people dependent on substances from which Big Pharma extracts enormous profit. Medina's raw and touching film uncovers how these profit-driven systems trap individuals in cycles of dependency through fear and control instead of empowering them to rebuild their lives. The film champions new and humane healing models that prioritize promoting self worth and purpose to manifest  healing and dignity. Medina is a proud Film Ambassador with Represent Justice, and The Cure Complex was selected to be one of five Represent Justice films streamed on Tubi to 100 million viewers. Watch The Cure Complex here!Have a Swan Dive to share?

Drawing on 20 years observing attorney behavior, Hon. Stuart M. Rice (ret.) now at JAMS, speaks freely. This episode is a rare candid debrief from the other side of the bench.Key topics:What incivility actually costs you in court: Judge Rice served on the statewide civility task force and watched uncivil conduct for two decades. His diagnosis: it's not the screamer at deposition—it's the subtler patterns that quietly erode a lawyer's credibility with the bench.The task force secured a new oath provision requiring lawyers admitted since 2014 to attest to treating others with "dignity, respect, and courtesy"—but how much does an oath really change behavior?Show up in person—especially when you can lose: Remote appearances transformed California courtrooms post-COVID, and not for the better. Judge Rice's rule from the bench: if you can win or lose at a hearing, you will do better work in the room.And that's true in mediation, too.Complex mediation is a strategy problem, not just a settlement problem: As the judge who presided over all of the 2025 Palisades Fire consolidated cases and California's Johnson & Johnson ovarian cancer litigation, Judge Rice brings a systems view to large multi-plaintiff matters. He recently wrote in the Daily Journal on what it takes to succeed in complex mediations—and his JAMS practice is built around exactly these cases.Pupillage groups and the civility dividend: As president of the Benjamin Aranda III Inn of Court, Judge Rice restructured pupillage groups to require two new members per group who were law students or lawyers within five years of practice—successfully shifting the Inn's demographics and, he argues, its culture.The Adam Z. Rice Memorial Scholarship: Judge Rice is in his fourth consecutive year as president of the California Judges Foundation, which funds needs-based scholarships for law students from disadvantaged backgrounds. The scholarship is named for his late son. This year's award included an offer of free mentoring until the recipient's first legal job.

What is one small commitment your clients can make that will move them in the right direction? In this solocast episode of the IRH Clinician's Corner, Margaret Floyd Barry highlights a powerful strategy shared during the recent Clinical Success Showcase. As more clients consider or begin GLP1 agonist medications, practitioners face new challenges around compliance and client readiness.  Drawing from both current research and firsthand clinical insights, this episode explores how setting clear, client-driven minimum commitments (like prioritizing protein, strength training, and escalating medications responsibly) can boost compliance and long-term outcomes, not only for those on GLP1s but for all clients engaged in transformative health work.

The Champion's PantryHow to stock your kitchen like an athlete — and why everything on that shelf mattersLet me tell you something that took me a long time to understand, even after decades of cooking professionally and working with athletes at every level of sport. The most important meal you will ever eat is not the one you have the night before a big game. It is not the recovery shake you drink after training. It is the meal you eat on an ordinary Tuesday, when there is no competition coming, and you are simply trying to get through school, show up to practice, and feel like yourself. And that ordinary Tuesday meal — more than almost anything else — depends entirely on what is sitting in your pantry. A pantry stocked with the right ingredients is not a luxury reserved for professional athletes or families with unlimited grocery budgets. It is a strategy. It is, in fact, the most fundamental athletic strategy there is, because it removes one of the biggest obstacles standing between a young athlete and great nutrition: the moment when you are tired, hungry, and standing in an empty kitchen trying to figure out what to eat. When the pantry is right, that problem disappears. The answer is always there. The raw materials for good performance are already in the building. All you have to do is cook.A well-stocked pantry is not about perfection. It is about preparation. Champions prepare.The Foundation: Complex CarbohydratesThen, whole-grain. Your muscles run on glycogen — a form of stored energy that your body builds from the carbohydrates you eat. If you are training seriously, your glycogen stores are being depleted every single session. The quality of carbohydrate you use to replenish them matters enormously. Complex carbohydrates — those that come packaged with fiber, vitamins, and minerals — release energy steadily and keep you fueled for hours. Simple, refined carbohydrates spike your blood sugar and crash in, leaving you sluggish and foggy exactly when you need to be sharp.Your pantry should hold whole grain pasta, brown rice, rolled oats, quinoa, and whole grain bread or crackers. These are not glamorous ingredients. They are workhorses — the kind of reliable, consistent fuel that builds real athletic endurance over months and years. Oats in the morning before school means your brain and muscles have steady energy through the morning session. Brown rice with dinner means your glycogen stores begin refilling for tomorrow's training before you fall asleep. Stock these. Never run out of them.The Builders: Protein SourcesProtein is how your body repairs the microscopic damage that intense training causes to your muscle fibers — and turns that damage into growth, strength, and speed. Without adequate protein, training hard breaks you down without building you back up. Most young athletes significantly underestimate how much protein they need on heavy training days, and they pay for it in slow recovery, persistent fatigue, and performance plateaus.Among the pantry proteins I recommend to every young athlete I have ever worked with are: canned tuna, canned salmon, canned chickpeas, canned black beans, red lentils, and dried cannellini beans. These are inexpensive, shelf-stable, fast to prepare, and nutritionally exceptional. Lentils, for example, are one of the most protein-dense plant foods on the planet and cook from dry in under twenty minutes, with no soaking required. A can of tuna stirred into pasta with olive oil and lemon is a complete, high-protein, anti-inflammatory meal that takes ten minutes to make. These are not compromise foods. These are champion foods. The fact that they are affordable makes them even better.More Podcast Flavors + Knowledge Newsletter

What if your deepest expertise is the very thing making you harder to understand? British music producer turned strategic story producer Rob D. Willis joins Park Howell on the Business of Story to explain why complexity kills communication — and how story structure gives your audience exactly the right combination of connections to get you, what you're about, and what you're asking them to do. Rob has spent years helping tech founders, corporate leaders, and change-makers in Berlin and beyond simplify their most complex ideas into stories that move people to act. In this episode, he brings the frameworks, the neuroscience, and the real-world case studies to prove it. What you'll discover: Why the curse of expertise turns your knowledge into noise — and how story is the antidote The four audience types (friendly, adversarial, apathetic, uneducated) that should reshape every high-stakes conversation How the Downing Street communication grid turns your story into a replicable action plan The three types of complexity — intrinsic, extraneous, and germane — and which one you actually control Why your brain runs on narrative, not logic (and what dopamine, cortisol, and oxytocin have to do with it) How a bank board member's "sand vs. stones" story changed the way Rob thinks about strategic communication About Rob D. Willis: Rob D. Willis is a British music producer turned strategic story producer based in Berlin.

Silvana Konermann and the team at Arc Institute are trying to crack one of science's most difficult problems: why complex diseases like Alzheimer's and cancer remain so stubbornly unsolvable, even as research advances. Her solution is a universal “virtual cell” — an AI model trained on a billion biological experiments that can read the language of human cells, predict what's going wrong and reveal how to fix it. In conversation with TED's Chris Anderson, Konermann explores how this work could fundamentally change the way we discover drugs and treat disease. (This ambitious idea is part of The Audacious Project, TED's initiative to inspire and fund global change.) Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In this deal segment episode with Pat Carino we break down one of the most unique deals featured on the podcast to date: a 300-unit, five-building ground-up development on Cape Cod, Massachusetts, acquired through the state's 40B affordable housing program on a 20+ acre site.Pat walks through how the deal first surfaced through a social media message, how it came back to market through a broker four months later, and how NRP Group ultimately won the deal in a competitive process. The conversation covers the mechanics of 40B entitlements, why the Cape Cod market is more compelling than it looks on paper, how the town's own incentives aligned perfectly with the project's approval, and how the team is navigating the Massachusetts rent control uncertainty heading into November.This episode is essential listening for any investor curious about how institutional ground-up development deals actually work — from 40B entitlements to construction type to exit planning — and what the Massachusetts legislative landscape means for multifamily development in 2025 and beyond.Join us as we dive into:A clear explanation of Massachusetts 40B: what it is, how it works, why towns strategically support "friendly 40B" projects, and how crossing the 10% affordable housing threshold removes the tool from future developersWhy wood-frame, surface-parking construction is Pat's preferred method — and how construction type, affordability requirements, and tax environment are the four key variables in any development site evaluationHow NRP prices development deals: per approved/entitled unit — and why that structure protects both buyer and seller when final unit counts are still in fluxHow the capital stack works at NRP: traditional bank construction debt combined with institutional equity from pension funds and family officesWhy Cape Cod is a stronger demand market than it appears: a large workforce commutes onto the Cape daily with almost no rental housing options — and this project fills that gapPat's honest assessment of Massachusetts rent control: how NRP has stress-tested their underwriting against worst-case scenarios, and why a 10-year new construction exemption is at least partially reassuringState-level tailwinds: a proposed sales tax exemption on building materials and a fast-track provision for the MEPA environmental review process for qualifying projectsSign up for the DealNav CRM HEREConnect with Pat Carino:Follow him on Twitter/XConnect with him on LinkedinLearn more about DealNavAre you looking to invest in real estate, but don't want to deal with the hassle of finding great deals, signing on debt, and managing tenants?

Send us Fan MailThis week, I'm joined by Dr. Nicole Cain for a conversation about anxiety, panic, stress, and what our symptoms might be trying to tell us. We talk about the difference between fear, anxiety, and panic, why anxiety may be more of a signal than a problem, and how chronic stress can quietly build beneath the surface long before we recognize it. Dr. Nicole shares her perspective on complex trauma, nervous system regulation, and the ways modern life constantly pulls us into reactivity without us even realizing it. We also explore why awareness is often the first step toward healing, how nature can help bring us back into balance, and why anxiety isn't necessarily something you have to live with forever.Check out Dr. Nicole's Free Gifts here: https://drnicolecain.com/free-gifts/KEY TAKEAWAYS: Anxiety may be a signal rather than the problem itself  Panic often builds long before it feels like it comes out of nowhere  Chronic stress can become invisible when it feels normal  Complex trauma develops through repeated experiences over time  Nature and nervous system regulation can support healingABOUT GUEST:Dr. Nicole Cain is a naturopathic physician, EMDR-trained clinician, author, and expert in trauma-informed mental health care, holistic anxiety treatment, and panic recovery.
