Watch the full episode on our YouTube channel: youtube.com/@mreapodcastRyan Gillen built a $90M real estate business by flipping the script on lead generation, turning community into his greatest asset. Growing up in a real estate family, Ryan learned to hustle early and quickly realized cold calling and chasing FSBOs wasn't a long-term game. Instead, he leaned into what he loved: golf, country clubs, and connecting people.By starting small networking groups and masterminds, Ryan became “the mayor” of his circles, introducing like-minded professionals and solving problems together. That sense of community not only gave members real value, it also fueled millions of dollars worth of annual referrals to his team. In this episode, Ryan breaks down his simple but powerful model: find a problem, gather people who share it, and create consistent spaces to connect.If you've ever dreaded lead gen, this conversation is proof that it doesn't have to be painful. When you build groups around your passions, business flows naturally and relationships become your most profitable investment.Resources:The Millionaire Real Estate Agent (book by Gary Keller, Dave Jenks, and Jay Papasan)MAPS Coaching with Leah LembergKeller Williams Mega CampMREA Notes (weekly models & systems PDF)Millionaire Real Estate Agent Podcast NewsletterOrder the Millionaire Real Estate Agent Playbook | Volume 3Connect with Jason:LinkedinProduced by NOVAThis podcast is for general informational purposes only.

NPR asks, "could the next Scarlett Johansson or Natalie Portman" be Tilly Norwood? Here's the catch: Norwood isn't human; she is an artificial intelligence creation generated by a Dutch AI lab. Last week, the lab announced that their AI “actor” had received attention from multiple talent agents. They want their creation to become a household name, a mega-star. But some human performers are outraged, calling this story a threat to their livelihoods while asking who would want to watch AI avatars.

FRANKOPAN2.mp3 - Rise of Cities, Globalization, and Volcanic Effects (Thera and Okmok) Peter Frankopan | The Earth Transformed: An Untold History After 2200 BC, the rise of cities established long-range connections across Europe, Africa, and Asia, forming a globalized exchange system. Nomadic peoples were essential vectors for transporting goods, ideas, and technologies like bronze and cereals. Volcanic activity often caused major political consequences. The eruption of Thera may have triggered the variola virus (smallpox), killing millions. More critically, the Okmok eruption (43 BC) devastated the Nile floods essential for Egypt, causing famine and inflationary pressure. This ecological crisis fueled instability against Queen Cleopatra, enabling Octavian (Augustus) to conquer Egypt and establish the Roman Empire.

Today I have the honor of speaking with longtime activist Silky Shah, Executive Director of the Detention Watch Network, about her new, and extremely important book, Unbuild Walls: Why Immigrant Justice Needs Abolition. Shah provides a critical discussion about the intersection between detention, the prison industrial complex, and anti-immigrant racism. She explains how this relationship is hardly new, but stretches back at least to the Reagan presidency and through Clinton, Bush, Obama, and Biden.  Given the durability of this connection, Shah makes an altogether convincing case that reform does not work, and that abolition is called for. Her book and her activism give us inspirating examples of such work in the past and present, and for the future.Silky Shah is the Executive Director of Detention Watch Network, a national coalition building power to abolish immigration detention in the United States. She has worked as an organizer on issues related to immigration detention, the prison industrial complex, and racial and migrant justice for nearly 20 years.

Syracuse Hancock International Airport recently rejected a billboard advertising the services of attorney Megan Thomas. Those services include specialization in workplace discrimination and sexual harassment cases. The billboard read, “When HR called it ‘harmless flirting' … we called it exhibit A.” Airport officials told Syracuse.com that they rejected the sign because it was “unprofessional, inflammatory, and unnecessary.” Now Thomas is suing, and she wonders who the airport is trying to protect — or why the idea of advertising legal services for sexual harassment cases is "inflammatory" or "unnecessary." We'll discuss this unusual case, and we'll explore whether the efforts of the MeToo movement have stalled.Our guests: Megan Thomas, Esq., owner of Megan Thomas Law, PLLC Lauren Berger, local progressive activist and interim executive director of GLOW OUT!  ---Connections is supported by listeners like you.

It took decades in development hell for an adaptation of Stephen King's THE LONG WALK to trudge its way into theaters, and now that it has, we're of split opinions on how Francis Lawrence's film goes about distinguishing itself from its source material, particularly in its graphic depiction of violence. There's also the matter of the film's very different ending, which we dig into once we move into Connections to compare how THE LONG WALK's endurance contest compares to the one in Sydney Pollack's THEY SHOOT HORSES, DON'T THEY?, in terms of how voluntary they actually are, what spectators get out of watching participants suffer, and what passes for victory in a contest where no one really wins. Then, in Your Next Picture Show, we devote a little time to revisiting a film franchise that came up repeatedly in our discussions of both these films: THE HUNGER GAMES. Please share your thoughts about THEY SHOOT HORSES, DON'T THEY?, THE LONG WALK, or anything else in the world of film, by sending an email or voice memo to comments@nextpictureshow.net, or leaving a short voicemail at (773) 234-9730.

"The vegan experiment is over at Eleven Madison Park," says Eater New York. The high-end restaurant became the world's first three-Michelin-star vegan restaurant in 2021. In two weeks that will change, with meat and fish options returning to the menu. Predictably, meat lovers declared this to be a sign of a backlash to veganism. Is that over-stating it, or has the vegan movement stalled?

Send us a textWhat's the real cost of not growing your practice when the time is right? Spoiler alert: it's more than just lost revenue.Welcome to Medical Money Matters. Today's episode tackles something many practice leaders know they should think about—but often push to the bottom of the to-do list: when and how to scale your medical practice.Now, if you're a physician or practice administrator, your day is already full. You're seeing patients, solving staffing problems, reviewing financial reports, answering portal messages—and probably skipping lunch to do it. So when the topic of expansion comes up, it can feel overwhelming. Unnecessary. Even reckless.But here's the truth: in many cases, not growing when your practice needs to can be more damaging than growing too soon. And the impact goes beyond your bottom line. We're talking about team burnout, patient dissatisfaction, and even harm to your practice's reputation.The good news? There's a path to healthy, responsible growth. One that doesn't require overextending yourself or guessing your way through the process. That's what we're unpacking today.Please Follow or Subscribe to get new episodes delivered to you as soon as they drop!

Send us a textIn this episode of Deconstructing Comp, Yvonne and Rafael talk to Paolo Longo, a claimant attorney based in Florida, to explore the realities of representing injured workers, especially first responders. Paolo shares how his career path led him from the state attorney's office to becoming a dedicated advocate for employees navigating the workers' compensation system.He explains the unique legal protections and presumptions that apply to Florida's firefighters, police officers, and other first responders, particularly around heart disease, hypertension, and other conditions presumed to be job-related. Paolo also highlights the burden-shifting process that makes these cases unique, and why communication and education are at the heart of effective advocacy.A powerful part of the discussion centers on the fears and concerns first responders face after an injury. Paolo notes that the first question nearly every client asks is: “Am I going to lose my job?” Beyond that, they worry about whether they'll ever return to work, finish their careers, or continue providing for their families. These uncertainties, coupled with a lack of clear understanding of the claims process, make strong legal guidance and compassionate communication for injured workers essential.Another key legal point Paolo discusses is the “120-day rule.” While its meaning varies by state, in Florida, the focus of Paolo's practice, it sets the timeframe for an employer or insurance carrier to decide on a claim. Once an employer begins providing benefits, they have 120 days to either deny the claim or continue paying benefits. If they don't issue a denial within that period, the claim becomes compensable by law, unless the employer can later prove new “material facts” that weren't discoverable during the initial investigation.This rule is critical because it can determine the outcome of a case, whether benefits continue, or whether a carrier can still attempt to deny responsibility for an injury. Paolo explains how this plays out in practice and why it's such a pivotal part of representing injured workers in Florida.From candid reflections on the challenges of the system to insights on what truly makes a difference for injured workers, this conversation offers a rare look at the claimant's side of workers' compensation. ¡Muchas Gracias!

What if you could have a conversation with your great-grandmother? Not just read her diary or look at old photos, but actually ask her questions and hear her voice tell you stories about her life? This isn't science fiction—it's becoming reality through innovative storytelling technology that's preserving family legacies in remarkable new ways.Jeremy Horne joins us to share his passion for capturing family stories that might otherwise be lost forever. His journey began as a child in Perth, Australia, recording his grandparents on borrowed video equipment, and has evolved into creating Winnie, an app designed to facilitate meaningful conversations between generations. But he's not stopping there. His newest project, Forever You, uses those recorded stories to create digital avatars that future generations can actually interact with.The conversation takes us deep into why these connections matter so much. Jeremy explains the concept of "social health"—the third pillar of wellbeing alongside physical and mental health—and how genuine human connection nourishes us in ways that social media never can. He shares fascinating research showing that children who understand their family history develop greater resilience and confidence, giving them an anchor to their past that helps them navigate their future.What makes this episode particularly powerful is the practical advice for fostering these connections. Whether it's being intentional about scheduling time for meaningful conversations, learning the art of asking good questions, or simply giving people space to tell their stories, Jeremy offers tools anyone can use to strengthen their relationships and preserve their family legacy.As we navigate an increasingly digital world where we're simultaneously more connected yet lonelier than ever, this conversation reminds us of what truly matters. The technology Jeremy describes isn't about replacing human connection—it's about enhancing and preserving it across generations. His parting words offer both wisdom and urgency: "I'm yet to meet anyone who regrets interviewing their parents, but I've met plenty who wish they could do it and no longer have that choice."Ready to start capturing your family's stories?
