What a $500M Tech Exit Taught Him About Building a Thriving Architecture FirmWhat does a $500 million tech exit have to do with building a thriving architecture firm? In this episode, Amos Peleg shares his incredible journey—from a young man determined not to follow in his architect father's footsteps, to building Pelleck Linehouse, a thriving 20-person architecture firm.After six years of study split between Israel and New York City, Amos graduated from City College in 1999 and was quickly swept into the world of tech, joining a rooftop loft startup that sold for $550 million just three months later. That experience sparked his passion for entrepreneurship, launching a years-long pursuit of starting his own business through repeated trial and error.Eventually, family needs brought Amos back to Israel, where he partnered with a close friend and rebuilt his father's struggling firm. Along the way, he learned what it really takes to build a sustainable architecture practice—hiring the right people, identifying profitable niches, and designing processes that free him from the daily grind while still leading as CEO.He reflects on lessons from architecture school under his father's critical eye, working under a Holocaust survivor, and navigating the tension between personal passion and professional success. Through it all, Amos champions the power of vision, strategy, and Ikigai—aligning what you love, what you're good at, and what the world needs.This week at EntreArchitect Podcast, What a $500M Tech Exit Taught Him About Building a Thriving Architecture Firm with Amos Peleg.Learn more about Amos Peleg and his work at Peleg Kleinhause, and connect with him on LinkedIn.Please Visit Our Platform SponsorsArcatemy is Arcat's Continuing Education Program.

Vision Will Break You (If You Let Fear Win)In this special solo session of the EntreArchitect Podcast, Mark R. LePage dives into the powerful intersection of vision, growth, and fear. Fear often shadows our boldest dreams, not as a warning sign, but as a companion to growth and transformation.Small firm architects can reframe fear—not as something to avoid, but as evidence that you're stepping into something meaningful. True vision isn't about checklists or goals, but that gut-level knowing of the life and business you're meant to build. Growth is messy, unpredictable, and uncomfortable—and that's exactly how you know it's working.Perfectionism might serve you in your design work, but in business, it can hold you back. Instead, let fear act as a compass pointing toward your edge.Tune in for an honest, empowering invitation to embrace discomfort, dream bigger, and lead with courage.

And here is the monologue for your benefit: Certa vez, Rubiana convidou seus amigos para uma noite de brincadeiras em sua casa, algo mais lúdico do que só se embriagar com leite de onça. Era um motivo para reunir-se com a turma, e manter o entretenimento durante o encontro. Ela dispôs na mesa vários jogos de tabuleiro e cartas, tudo para manter a bola rolando. Depois de algumas partidas, ela viu que a animação estava esfriando, e logo bolou um jogo. A regra era descobrir de qual parte do país era o colega, mas sem que o outro entregasse o ouro. Cada pessoa ia fazer um comentário, e pelo jeito de falar ia dar pra deduzir de onde a pessoa era. Sandrinha quis começar e logo disse: mano, eu venho da terra da garoa. A turma respondeu em coro: São Paulo. Clotilde murmurou que essa pista dava muito na cara, foi muito fácil e que ia complicar um pouco a vida do pessoal. Foi logo emendando: guria, eu vou te ensinar a… Jorge pegou e cortou logo, dizendo que não precisava nem continuar, que já sabia que ela era lá do sul. Inclusive ficou cantando de galo, que seria difícil descobrir sobre ele. “Mainha do céu, que bestagem é essa de vocês?” Disse Rute, chegando atrasada. A gargalhada foi geral, e ela ficou com cara de desentendida. Aí foram explicar que ela chegou no meio da conversa, que a brincadeira era de adivinhação. O Mário sinaliza que a Joana é carioca, imitando com deboche a amiga, enfatizando um arrastado e sonoro sh no fim de cada palavra. Lá pelas tantas, Rubiana cutuca Jorge e fala para ele parar de esconder o jogo. Ele responde com um “uai, minha gente, cês num descobriram é porque mineiro come quieto”. A estratégia dele foi ficar caladinho só observando o povo. Assim, ninguém descobria que ele era mineiro. Uma nova onda de risadas encheu o local. E todo mundo concordou que Jorge burlou as regras, ele tinha que falar. Isso porque, no fim das contas, era o reconhecimento do sotaque e das gírias que tornava possível descobrir a origem dos amigos.

And here is the monologue for your benefit: No mundo existe uma diversidade de pessoas, cada qual com seu jeito de ser. Não poderia ser diferente dentro da firma. Seja grande, seja pequena, pública, ou privada, em uma empresa pode-se encontrar um universo de personalidades. Tem aquele sujeito que é bom pra daná, ou seja, que faz tudo de forma eficiente. Resolve questões desde as mais simples, como providenciar um cafezinho, até algo bem complexo, como, quiçá, um planejamento estratégico. E melhor ainda, tem gosto por fazer o que faz. É quem acaba tocando o negócio e fazendo a empresa crescer. O cabra bom é diferente do workaholic, que também trabalha com eficiência, mas mais por ter um vício no trabalho. Esse tipo pode contaminar as relações interpessoais ao exigir que os outros atendam suas altas expectativas. Por outro lado, tem aquela pessoa que é o oposto, que adora fazer cera. Vai ao trabalho apenas para cumprir tabela. Se chega a faltar, não causa desfalque nenhum, uma vez que sua contribuição é imperceptível. É o famoso morcego. Pela rádio peão, tem-se notícia de todo mundo. Sempre vai ter um colega fofoqueiro. Aqui temos que fazer uma diferença: o fofoqueiro que comenta por hábito, que gosta de contar uma história, e o dedo-duro que vai caguetar para o chefe alguma mancada do colega pra ficar bem na fita, ou obter alguma vantagem. Mal sabe ele que o patrão tem pavor desse tipo de puxa-saco. Pior é o funcionário que gosta de botar banca, exaltar suas qualidades no trabalho, dizer que é o tal e que qualquer dia vai ficar no lugar do chefe. Se não ficar esperto, pode levar uma rasteira de algum invejoso por aí e ter que ir cantar em outra freguesia.

If you'd like to join us in the conversation workshops, go to the Continuing Education Program! https://portuguesewitheli.com/plg And here is the monologue for your benefit Hoje eu vou contar para vocês a história do meu amigo, Otávio. Uns anos atrás ele passou por uma crise de identidade. Um colega chamou ele de frango, e ele era meio franzino mesmo. Ele nunca tinha se importado com sua aparência, mas depois do comentário maldoso do amigo, Otávio decidiu que ia virar o jogo. A primeira coisa que ele fez foi buscar no Google “como crescer músculos rápido?”. E a gente sabe que tem muita coisa boa na internet, mas… temos que usar o bom senso né? Otávio estava meio com raiva, querendo mudar o corpo, ficar gigante, pra esfregar na cara do amigo que não era frango nada, que era bombadão. Ele comprou uns suplementos pra ganhar massa muscular, outros pra reconstruir músculo, outros pra ter resistência, essas coisas… Gastou uma grana nisso, e ficou esperando o resultado sentado no sofá. Todo dia ele fazia a maçaroca com os suplementos, e nada… Uns 3 meses nessa rotina, ele viu que estava era ficando barrigudo, sem entender a razão (ah Otávio, sem queimar as calorias? Queria o quê?). Daí resolveu apelar… Ele tinha ouvido falar sobre tomar bomba, com promessas de resultados praticamente imediatos. Começou a perguntar aqui e ali onde ele conseguia a injeção de trembo não sei o que, já que não era vendido abertamente. Parece que existe uma espécie de mercado negro para essas substâncias. Aí ele veio me perguntar se eu sabia de algum esquema. Eu, esperto que sou, logo abri o olho dele. Tirei ele de cabeça de tomar essas coisas, por conta dos efeitos colaterais. Dizem por aí que até brocha o cara… E apresentei pra ele a minha nutri. Ela avaliou o Otávio, prescreveu uma dieta balanceada, umas vitaminas, e até aproveitou alguns daqueles suplementos que ele já tinha, tipo Whey e creatina. E deu a dica de ouro pra ele: “Otávio, não adianta você ficar no sofá, você tem que malhar”. Ele meio descrente, meio resistente, aceitou os conselhos da nutricionista e se matriculou numa academia. Ia na força do ódio umas 3 vezes na semana. Com o tempo ele pegou gosto pela coisa. Com constância e disciplina, ele começou a ver os músculos se definirem. Ficou tão empolgado, que virou um rato de academia. E Otávio não liga mais quando alguém chama ele de frango. Ele aprendeu que não importa o que os outros dizem, mas sim como você se sente. Ele se olha no espelho (ainda miúdo), e diz para si mesmo: quem é o fortão que vai levantar 100kg hoje? --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/portuguesewitheli/message

Dizem que eu vivia nas nuvens, mas discordo: sempre tive tino para negócio e soube que era um empreendedor nato. Quando criança, vendia minha merendapara comprar brinquedo, e revendia o brinquedo para comprar mais comida, mas sempre acabava ficando sem brinquedo e sem comida. Na minha adolescência, encabeceium negócio de cuidados com cavalos. Sempre ouvi dizer que quem tinha cavalo era rico, então, com clientes ricos, eu ia arrebentar a boca do balão. Meu faro sempre foi muito aguçado. O problema com esse plano foi que ninguém tinha cavalo no meu bairro. Operei no vermelhopor um bom tempo e, sem clientes, o negócio degringolou. Então fui me metendo em furadaatrás de furada – abri uma loja de guarda-chuvas em Cabaceiras, minha cidade natal... era a cidade onde menos chovia no Brasil. Pensava: ninguém vai tentar a sorte e vender guarda-chuva aqui, então só vão poder comprar na minha mão. Vou vender pelo preço que quiser. Mas tinha uma falha no meu plano de negócios. Não levava em consideração que os clientes já podiam ter um guarda-chuva em casa. Meu estoque ficou todo encalhado e tive que vender tudo a preço de banana. É de amargar, viu? Depois abri uma locadorade patinete elétrico... em Salvador. Eu não contava que aqui tivesse tanta ladeira, então um cliente alugava um patinete hoje, se arrebentava ali na frente e depois vinha chiarno meu ouvido, dizendo que os patinetes eram ruins. Então, saindo desse ramo de mercadorias, deliberei sobre que caminho tomar, porque queria algo mais certo, para plantar e colher. Resolvi ingressarno mundo da educação. O público-alvo? Empreendedores de primeira viagem. Como eu já tinha feito minha lição de casa– fali vários negócios – sabia exatamente o que não fazer para ter sucesso. Ou seja, era como se eu tivesse uma bola de cristal. Com certeza, eu ia quebrar a banca. Só precisava de um investidor para abraçaressa ideia. Coloquei um anúncio na internet. Primeiro não apareceu ninguém. E os meus investimentos em publicidade só me amealhavamdívidas e mais dívidas, e você sabe como é que é com cartão: é uma bola de neve, basta você errar a mão uma vezinha só e lá se foi todo seu dinheiro. Mas não ia desistir. Não tinha fracassado tanto na vida para nadar e morrer na praia. Quando eu estava quase desistindo, um cara me mandou um email. Tinha se interessado pela ideia. A gente se reuniu e ele me deu as ideias: ele tinha um modelo de negócios diferente. Ele trabalhava numa empresa especializada em falências e queria abrir uma consultoria. E se tem alguém que entende de falências, esse alguém sou eu. Finalmente vou virar o jogo! --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/portuguesewitheli/message

É algo que me alegra muito, poder sair, soltar a franga, dançar as marchinhas de carnaval no bloco das Antigas e pular horas a fiocom os trios elétricos. Haja fôlego! Ainda posso assistir ao desfile das escolas de samba – o que é um privilégio – e conhecer gente nova nos camarotes e nas arquibancadas... Sim, conhecer gente nova é algo que também não faço há um tempão. E esse vai ser o meu primeiro carnaval solteiro, depois de quase quinze anos junto com minha ex, a Leonora. Lembro que, quando ela me deixou, eu fiquei fora de mim – o chão me faltou, eu não sabia o que fazer. Quis chorar a noite toda, mas não chorei, porque fiquei aturdido... Mas chega de lembrar de coisa ruim, não é mesmo? Agora estamos aqui, e mesmo não sendo mais jovem de corpo – já não aguento mais uma noitada como aguentava nos meus anos dourados – ainda sou jovem de espírito. Ainda dou para o gasto. Por isso, no carnaval, decidi que ia pintar e bordar. Fui a uma festa à fantasia que estavam organizando lá no condomínio. Sou um pouco retraído, mas pensei que era uma boa chance de mudar essa timidez arraigada na minha personalidade. Decidi me vestir de unicórnio. Duvidava que alguém mais tivesse cara de se vestir daquele jeito — nem eu mesmo sei como fiz aquilo, mas fui. E dei sorte. Conheci uma beldade fantasiada de galinha d'angola. Ela tinha pinta de artista ou coisa assim. Trocamos olhares, puxei conversa e logo estávamos agarradinhos. Depois de uns selinhos, ela pediu licença para ir ao banheiro. Minha nossa. Que mulher! Haja coração! Todo aquele meu amor represadodesde que minha ex tinha me deixado apareceu ali e acho que me apaixonei de imediato. Eu estava preparado para me declarar para ela. Fui procurá-la. Mas não devia ter ido. Aquele meu momento fugaz de alegria se tornou uma tristeza só: ela estava dando uns amassos num cara fantasiado de... unicórnio! É, parecia que eu não era o único unicórnio da festa... sai com a cara no chão, me lembrando só que no carnaval vale tudoe que ninguém é de ninguém. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/portuguesewitheli/message

In today's episode, we'll talk about some controversial opinions Brazilians have about Brazil. I use an imagined town in the episode without naming it, but you could say it of any big city in this country and it would fit. If you would like to get access to its learning guide when it's published, check this out: https://portuguesewitheli.com/school-invitation/ It's the Continuing Education Program, which gives you access to all learning guides. This wasn't an easy topic --- it's so complex, one episode won't do justice to it. That's why it's part one. You'll probably benefit from this article (school students in Brazil use it for research): https://brasilescola.uol.com.br/brasil/favela.htm If your Portuguese is a bit more advanced and you'd like to challenge yourself, watch this video about the history of the first favela in Brazil: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9fx9p-tvD0s *there are SUBTITLES in BR-PT! And here's the monologue for your benefit: Meu amigo de fora estava planejando passar uma temporada aqui no Brasil e me perguntou se minha cidade era segura. Aí complicou, eu disse. Complicou, porque a resposta vai depender da pessoa a quem ele pergunta. A meu ver, não é perigosa não. Mas isso porque já estou acostumado. Todos os dias, pego ônibus para o centro e me deparocom toda sorte de gente, de morador de rua a mandachuvasde empresas. Tem mendigo pedindo esmola nas esquinas, pinguço no boteco às dez da manhã e gente que vive ao deus-dará. Se você pergunta à Cláudia, que mora num bairro nobre desde pequenininha e que falta não pisar no chão, minha cidade está em pé de guerra. Ela acha que tem um traficante em cada esquina, segurando uma metralhadora, e que quem anda com uma roupinha meio assimé marginal. Aliás, ela nunca entrou num ônibus e talvez nem consiga imaginar o que é estar num veículo onde a “ralé” se aglomera. E se você for depender do que mostram os filmes ou a mídia... então ferrou. Infelizmente, esse tipo de coisa só propaga o preconceito que as pessoas têm contra pobreza. Eles sempre mostram que todo pobre mora na favela, e que lá as pessoas são tristes e depauperadas, que vivem em meio à violência o tempo todo, isso quando não estão em algum baile funk escutando as obscenidades de algum proibidão. A verdade é que é um pouquinho de tudo. O Brasil é um país muito desigual, complexo, e é mais fácil acreditar em estereótipos e hostilizar quem não conhecemos do que questionar a razão de tudo ser assim. Por isso, no final, disse a meu amigo que a única coisa que posso afirmar é que a gente daqui é dura na queda. O pessoal vai levando e tentando não deixar a peteca cair. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/portuguesewitheli/message

Mas faço isso porque sempre acabo tendo razão no final. E o ditado que eu mais uso é “Diz-me com quem tu andas e te direi quem és.” Um amigo meu, Pedro, começou assim. Primeiro, Pedro sempre foi um rapaz tímido, mas queria se entrosar com um grupinho de intelectuais da faculdade. Ele se enxergava como escritor. Os “intelectuais” — que para mim estavam mais para intelectualoides— bebiam feito gambás. Era para buscar inspiração, diziam. O Pedro começou a tomar umas para acompanhar os amigos... e também para buscar inspiração. Eu quis dissuadi-lo e disse a ele que cachaçaera quase sempre a porta de entrada para drogas mais pesadas. Mas quem disse que ele me deu ouvidos? E em pouco tempo saiu de um bebedor casual para um alcoólatra contumaz. Depois de dois meses, estava tão fissurado no álcool que mal frequentava o curso. Ou estava bêbado, ou estava de ressaca. Ainda tentei dar um conselho ou outro. Mas sempre que eu mencionava a palavra “vício”, ele retrucava: “Viciado? Quem aqui está viciado?” Entendo que é o barato é bom. A gente se esquece dos problemas. De repente pensa com maior clareza. Eu mesmo adorava a lombra que vinha depois de umas tragadas de maconha, mas sair daí para drogas mais pesadas é um pulo. Além do quê, usar drogas pega muito mal para o nome de alguém. Ganhar fama de “noiado” é o pior que pode acontecer para quem quer ser um profissional no futuro e ser levado a sério. Eu consegui largar as drogas, ainda que o desmametenha sido doloroso e os efeitos, perniciosos. E recente peguei o Pedro fumando maconha. Meu coração ficou apertado, porque sabia que dali em diante era só ladeira abaixo: depois ia para o craque, depois cocaínae quem sabe injetáveis. Meu Deus, só de imaginar que o Pedro deve estar frequentando bocas de fumo me dá medo do que pode acontecer. Sei que ele não tem um pingo de juízo – as drogas derreteram o cérebro dele – mas vou tentar fazer alguma coisa. É nas horas difíceis que se conhecem os amigos. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/portuguesewitheli/message

“Authors who are marginalized are writing to a marginalized audience. And I think it's time that they be given the voice to write to all audiences. I'm really making it a mission to do that.” – Jessica Faust, Principal Literary Agent and Founder of BookEnds Literary Abigail K. Perry sits down with Jessica Faust to talk about her mission to bring more marginalized voices into publishing. She also shares her goals as a leader, including how she mentors the team at BookEnds so that they can continue to make real change in publishing. Jessica's MSWL leans heavily towards Upmarket and Women's Fiction these days, although she has a variety of genres she's interested in (see below). On the craft of writing, Jessica discusses why every book needs a plot twist—but not in the way every writer thinks. Additionally, Jessica emphasizes how the author-agent relationship is a business partnership, and that communication is key to a long-lasting career. She sheds light on what success means to different authors, how she helps her clients and agents define and gain their definition of success, and why some of her proudest moments in agenting aren't bestsellers, but authors she's helped build a sustainable career in writing. About Jessica: As owner and President at BookEnds, Jessica Faust is honored to spend every day with some of the most talented authors and agents in the business. From BookEnds' inception in 1999, Jessica has always believed that her number one job is to be an author advocate. As BookEnds has grown, she now adds agent advocate to that responsibility. In addition to constantly growing BookEnds in new and innovative directions, Jessica represents many bestselling and award-winning authors. Her focus is on bringing more underrepresented and marginalized voices into publishing and her areas of expertise include mystery, suspense, upmarket, literary, and women's fiction. In nonfiction, she's seeking books and authors who will make her a better person and a better leader. Jessica began her career as an acquisitions editor at Berkley Publishing, Macmillan, and Wiley. In addition to nearly 15 years of blogging, Jessica has a regular role on the BookEnds YouTube channel, has taught at New York University's Continuing Education Program, written a publishing column, and has been honored by a number of different publishing organizations.

Não acredito que a empresa Rebimboca S/A precise focar neste momento na aquisição de novos clientes, quando o problema mesmo reside no fluxo de caixa. Não acham melhor rever esse plano? Ainda dá tempo. No aguardo de uma resposta. Patrício - Caro Patrício, Pode até ser que você tenha razão, mas não vejo a questão dessa maneira. Se você tiver observado bem, o valor médio de compras já está bem alto, não dá para tirar leite de pedra. Se apertar demais, pode ser que haja uma debandada dos clientes para os concorrentes que operam na mesma região numa faixa de preço mais acessível. É melhor vender para mais gente do que tentar arrancargrana de quem já deu o que tinha de dar. - Cleiton, Compreendo que esteja preocupado, mas a Rebimboca S/A estourou o orçamento que tinha disponível para a captaçãode novos negócios. A gente não pode ir nessa de “se a canoa não virar, eu chego lá”. Além de irresponsável, adotar essa atitude nos faz voltar à estaca zero do nosso planejamento inicial. - Patrício, Primeiro, “se a canoa não virar” é o cacete. Peço encarecidamente que pare de colocar palavras na minha boca. Já fizemos todas as pesquisas de mercado e avaliamos a capacidade de pagamento da clientela. Provamos por A mais B que, se a gente esticar muito a corda, os clientes vão embora. Se você concordar ou não, não dou a mínima. O que tenho são fatos. E contra fatos não há argumentos. - Cleiton, Pera lá, não é bem assim. Não precisa você rodar a baiana aqui. O que estou dizendo é que, se a gente for na sua onda, a Rebimboca S/A vai fechar as portas e o professor vai dar um zero para o nosso trabalho. Ou você já esqueceu que isso é só um projeto universitário? --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/portuguesewitheli/message

É porque a minha esposa me pediu para ajudar na limpeza de fim de ano. E o que ela não pede chorando que eu não faço sorrindo? Todo ano é a mesma coisa. Como a Ana não tem muque, ela pede para eu varrer o chão, passar o pano e limpar o rejunte. O problema do rejunte é que aquela sujeirinha se acumula por meses a fio, e quando a gente vai esfregaraquilo, para sair dá um trabalho do cão. Depois de fazer a parte pesada, eu tenho que ajudar a descongelar o freezer. Depois que o gelo derrete, fica uma poça enorme no chão, porque a borrachinha de vedação da geladeira já era, e depois preciso enxugar. Ano passado não enxuguei, a Ana levou um escorregão e levou um tombo violento. Aí então é a vez de trocar os lençóis– os antigos estão com cheiro de mofo. Precisam ser lavados. Depois vou colocá-los para pegar um solzinho. E agora só falta tirar o pó dos móveis – coisa fácil de fazer agora que a gente tem o aspirador de pó. Depois de um dia de faxina pesada, eu me sento na minha poltrona, abro minha cerva e vou charlarcom a Ana. Ver a casa limpa me dá gosto. >>> Shall we meet?

Quando a gente se casou, ela era muito mais comedida. Ela gostava de pintar, de cozinhar e de fazer crochê. Crochê, meu deus! Coisa de vovozinha. Mas dentro daquela senhorinha pacata morava – e ainda mora – uma leoa. Por que digo isso? Pois bem, te conto é agora. Ontem completei vinte e dois anos de casa numa empresa de logística. Pode parecer muito, mas vinte e dois anos passam num pulo. Hoje você se deita com vinte anos de idade e amanhã já se acorda com sessenta e se pergunta: o que aconteceu? Então, como disse, gosto da minha empresa – a comida é boa, o trabalho é pouco e a gente é tanto faz, tanto fez. Tem um ou outro que eu nãoconsigo engolir, mas é só baixar a cabeça e seguir em frente. Mas nem sempre foi assim. Quando comecei a trabalhar, vi uma possibilidade boa de subir na vida. Fazia uns cinco anos que eu trabalhava lá quando recebi uma proposta da gerência – quer investir na empresa? Eu era jovem, a empresa também, e tanto ela como eu estávamos mal das pernas. Mas a empresa queria correr riscos e precisava de capital. Se desse certo, maravilha, todo mundo ganhava, mas se não desse certo, todo mundo ia entrar pelo cano. Conversei com a minha esposa na época, em busca de algum direcionamento. Eu devia ter ficado calado – a mulher era porra-louca. Ela queria que eu pegasse o dinheiro da minha poupança, o dinheiro dela e ainda pegasse a reserva que tínhamos para pagar a casa... queria que eu pegasse toda essa dinheiramae investisse tudo na empresa. Ela disse que era uma manobra arriscada, mas mais arrojada e ousada. Para mim, isso era agir de maneira irrefletida e infantil. No fim das contas, ganhei eu a briga e não investimos. Então, com um golpe de sorte e muita ousadia, a empresa cresceu, cresceu e cresceu, bomboumesmo, e quem investiu naquela época, ficou montado na grana. E quem amarelou e não investiu... ficou a ver navios. Agora minha esposa veio com outra história. Ela ouviu falar de um negócio de Bitcoin e disse que essa é a bola da vez. Não quero nada com isso.

Where there is a skills gap there is an education gap. In this episode, we discuss the role of education in the Hello Careers model. Specifically, working with local school districts to build a sustainable program by cutting through the bureaucracy and implementing best practices.

We get feedback from all over the world. Some share their concerns with us while others seek answers to their questions. While there may be many other concerns that come to mind, today we are going to talk about some of the recurring topics and relevant matters that are being reiterated on our episodes.  Join me today as I go back to some of the things we previously talked about and as I determine the topics that we consistently hear from our guests. As I look back to the days when I started my career 13 years ago, it’s crystal clear that one of the things that has made an impression on everyone is the importance of having quality relationships. Other recurring topics include several ways to make money on claims and changing careers from being a contractor to an adjuster.    If you’re unhappy with where you’re at, and you don’t think your body of work is being properly represented through your company for who you’re working for, change companies. Just do it.    In This Episode of Adjuster Talk:  Significance of constantly developing relationships in your career  Average age of insurance adjusters  Where most of the insurance frauds take place  Your power as an independent adjuster  Most misrepresented items when others try to make money on claims  Working on your foundation as a person and keeping your morals  Why transparency is essential in any business  Considerations when we consider working with other companies  Reasons why you need to align and surround yourself with like-minded people  Encouragement to develop your skills and aim to get better     Join Us & Meet Your CE Requirements!     Come join Jason Heenan from 8A.M to 4P.M. at the Haag Engineering facility Irvine, TX on June 22 for our full-day Continuing Education Program for licensed adjusters.
