In 2000, Hitman: Codename 47 introduced players to Agent 47 and a new breed of stealth gaming built on improvisation, experimentation, and precision. In this episode, we trace how a small team of Danish demoscene veterans formed IO Interactive, built the Glacier Engine from scratch, and turned a 'simple shooter' concept into one of the most influential stealth franchises in history. We follow the evolution from Codename 47's experimental beginnings to Silent Assassin's refinement and Contracts' atmospheric retelling, exploring how each installment shaped IO's design philosophy. Our conversation also touches on IO's roots, ragdoll physics innovation, and the World of Assassination era that followed. Join us as we slip into the shadows and revisit Hitman's origin story on today's trip down Memory Card Lane.Read transcript

From professional wakeboarder to CEO managing $250M+ in commercial real estate investments, Nick Jones shares proven strategies for building successful real estate businesses through strategic partnerships, effective capital raising, and protecting investor interests. In this episode of the DealQuest Podcast, host Corey Kupfer sits down with Nick Jones, CEO of Alakai Capital, who has underwritten and acquired over 70 commercial investments and developments representing more than $250 million in value. Nick currently oversees 800,000+ square feet of industrial, retail, office, and medical assets across multiple states. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN: In this episode, you'll discover how to raise outside capital for your first commercial real estate deal while protecting downside risk, why syndication can work better than funds when you can close deals quickly with trusted investors, and the surprising truth about "off-market" deals versus listed properties in today's transparent market. Nick shares how to build broker relationships that generate consistent deal flow without constantly hunting for opportunities, due diligence strategies when high-credit tenants won't share financial information, and why Covid flipped conventional wisdom about credit tenants versus mom and pop operators. You'll also learn about the strategic value of balancing consistent real estate returns with selective angel investments, how to navigate market trends including drive-through retail and efficiency-focused opportunities, and what freedom means beyond just financial independence. NICK'S JOURNEY: Nick's path wasn't linear. Growing up near Microsoft and Nintendo in Redmond, Washington, he found real estate "incredibly boring" until witnessing how it connected to fascinating industries. After his father and grandfather passed away during his senior year of high school, Nick moved to Florida to pursue professional wakeboarding, eventually earning a podium finish at the World Championships in 2011 while graduating summa cum laude from the University of Central Florida. The dean of UCF's real estate program, whose son was also a professional athlete, reignited Nick's interest in commercial real estate investment and development. Nick started in land brokerage during 2011-2012 when Florida land was worth less than the buildings next to it, learning through challenging cold calls to developers. FIRST DEAL LESSONS: Nick's entry into investing came through a vacant Taco Bell property. Working with a broker partner, they secured the building, signed a 10-year lease with a new tenant, and only had to replace the HVAC and roof. The timing proved fortunate - securing 80% loan to value at 2% interest on an interest-only basis during the post-financial crisis recovery. That first deal taught valuable lessons about protecting downside risk and building tenant relationships while delivering one of his strongest returns ever. CAPITAL RAISING EVOLUTION: For his first capital raise, Nick bought an old bank branch all cash with plans to tear it down and build a quick service restaurant. To protect downside risk as a new sponsor, he structured it with no debt and two years of interest and tax reserves. After approaching friends' parents, fellow brokers, and creating a detailed investment memorandum, a tenant approached wanting to lease the existing building as-is with a 10-year lease. Nick refinanced at 50% LTV, pulled equity out, and used those proceeds to buy a second deal. That snowball effect has grown to approximately 100 investors making about 500 investments with his company. KEY INSIGHTS: Nick continues syndicating individual deals instead of raising funds because his deals follow similar patterns with consistent return theses. This approach gives investors freedom to select which markets and property types align with their preferences while maintaining speed to close. Managing investor capital creates heightened responsibility that sharpens every aspect of deal execution. Nick approaches it similarly to personally guaranteeing loans - while losing your own capital is unfortunate, losing someone else's carries profound implications for relationships and reputation. The biggest lesson from deals that didn't go as planned: contracts matter, but people matter just as much. When tenants respond unusually quickly to lease documents without redlines for 10-15 year commitments, it raises red flags. During Covid, high-credit tenants had attorneys advising them to stop paying rent while small bay industrial mom and pop tenants maintained perfect payment records. BROKER RELATIONSHIPS: The majority of Nick's deals come through brokers he's built long-term relationships with over years. These relationships prove valuable because brokers trust Nick will maintain confidentiality, move quickly through underwriting, and they understand his investment criteria. After years of exchanging deals and feedback, brokers know which opportunities match his thesis. MARKET TRENDS: Interest rate movements create near-term positivity while inflation continues hitting sectors unevenly, creating inefficiencies and opportunities. The retail apocalypse predictions following Covid haven't materialized because people still crave experiences. Drive-throughs represent a clear trend as efficiency becomes paramount - almost every concept has figured out how to use them successfully, including Chipotle proving the model works for food types that seemed ill-suited initially. Perfect for real estate investors considering raising outside capital, operators building broker networks, and anyone interested in how successful commercial real estate investors structure deals and protect investor capital.FOR MORE ON THIS EPISODE: https://www.coreykupfer.com/blog/nickjones FOR MORE ON NICK JONES:https://www.alakai-capital.comhttps://www.linkedin.com/company/alakaicapital/https://www.linkedin.com/in/nickjonesrealestate/https://www.instagram.com/alakaicapital/ FOR MORE ON COREY KUPFERhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/coreykupfer/https://www.coreykupfer.com/ Corey Kupfer is an expert strategist, negotiator, and dealmaker.

ave you ever felt a silent tension in a relationship, or perhaps a persistent disappointment that you couldn't quite articulate? Chances are, you're experiencing the ripple effects of an emotional contract. These aren't legally binding documents, but rather unspoken, often unconscious agreements that govern our expected behaviors and emotional exchanges with others. They exist in every type of relationship – with partners, family, friends, and even colleagues – dictating how we perceive support, value, and understanding, and what we believe we owe in return.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/lets-talk-sex--5052038/support.

SOLID: Single-Responsibility, Open-Closed, Liskovsche Substitution, Interface-Segregation und Dependency-InversionSOLID klingt nach Fels in der Brandung, fühlt sich in der Praxis aber oft nach Abstraktionspyramide an. Brauchen wir die fünf Prinzipien heute noch oder bremsen sie uns beim Time-to-Market aus? In dieser Episode gehen wir genau dieser Frage nach und nehmen dich mit von der nicht ganz offiziellen SOLID-Entstehungsgeschichte über die wichtigsten Prinzipien bis hin zur ehrlichen Einordnung zwischen Clean Code, Teamrealität und AI-Overengineering.Wir starten mit dem S wie Single Responsibility und zerlegen den klassischen UserService: Was gehört rein, was raus, warum Utils-„Mülleimer“ gefährlich sind und wieso Komposition in der Praxis oft die bessere Wahl ist. Danach das O wie Open-Closed mit zwei greifbaren Beispielen: Rabattlogik ohne if-Hölle und Zahlungsanbieter-Design zwischen Switch Case und Strategie. Beim L wie Liskov Substitution wird es historisch und konkret: Barbara Liskov, Turing Award, Rechteck–Quadrat und die Frage, warum protected so oft Kapselung sprengt. Beim I wie Interface Segregation feiern wir kleine, fokussierte Interfaces, Duck Typing und die Go-Philosophie. Und beim D wie Dependency Inversion klären wir den Unterschied zu Dependency Injection, zeigen Injection-Varianten und warum Tests dadurch so viel leichter werden.Wir ordnen ein, wo SOLID glänzt und wo es Grenzen hat: Overengineering durch zu viele Klassen, DI-Container-Magic, ORMs, Microservices als Fehlinterpretation von SRP sowie der gesunde Trade-off zwischen sauberen Contracts und schneller Lieferung. Dazu Teamkultur statt Dogmatismus, Clean Code ohne Religion und die Erkenntnis, dass gute Architektur vor allem durch Datenflüsse, Domain-Zuschnitte und klare Systemgrenzen entsteht.Am Ende bleibt ein pragmatisches Playbook: Komposition über Vererbung, kleine Interfaces, klare Contracts, Injection wo es hilft und bewusstes Brechen von Regeln, wenn der Kontext es fordert.Bonus: Side Project-Idee aus der Community-Ecke.

Dragon Spacecraft Development and Reusability Focus. Eric Berger explains that SpaceX needed NASA contracts to fund its Mars ambition. NASA provided critical funding in 2006 and 2009 for the Dragon spacecraft to deliver cargo to the International Space Station, replacing retiring vehicles like the Space Shuttle. Dragon was designed for recoverability and reuse, incorporating propulsion into the capsule itself, which increased complexity. Under pressure from Musk's impatience, SpaceX combined two critical test missions, C2 and C3, in 2012, ultimately succeeding due to a brave decision by a NASA flight director to allow on-the-spot software changes. Guest: Eric Berger.

Today's guest has rewired modern hip-hop. His fingerprints live all over the last decade but the real story behind that success is far more human, painful, and transformative than the headlines ever show. In this conversation, he opens up about the highs and lows of being a producer in hip-hop: the pressure, the politics, the contracts, the moments that nearly broke him, and the breakthroughs that almost didn't happen. He also shares the lessons shaped by fatherhood, betrayal, and real perseverance — all while creating some of the most important and culture-defining music of our time. And The Writer Is... Hitboy!

She breaks down what actually happens when a lawsuit begins, how evidence is collected, and why putting pen to paper can be the difference between winning and losing a case.Margot also explains how business owners can avoid unnecessary legal trouble by setting realistic goals, avoiding unplanned expansions, and resisting the temptation to dabble in industries they do not fully understand. From mismanaged projects to bad investment advice, she walks through real situations that lead clients to her door and shares practical insight on how to avoid similar problems.

Are we being molded into servants for something we don't understand? God doesn't ask for silence, he asks for courage. Whispered in the routine was the forfeiting of our consent. Darkness wins thru exhaustion. Locke and Hobbs were on it. Rebelling against despair. The invisible agreement between power and the people. Obedience as virtue. We choose the chains we wear. Freedom requires maintenance. Do we owe those who no longer keep their promises? Democracy is staring at the corpse of it's promise. Who will speak the truth when it costs something? Evil always pushes back. Free the small voice buried beneath your fear. Who gets to define the truth? Demanding obedience without legitimacy. All three branches of our gov't have been corrupt. Awaken or withdrawal. BBC tactics and J6 evidence come together. Working for the people is a good model. Is it a collapse or correction? New evidence is incoming. The Judge is going to release Tina Peters. Standing for the truth when you are alone. Kash and his girlfriend get complicated. We face digital integration without consent. Love is the physics of the soul. Where are the ops called Antifa and the Proud Boys? What they are doing behind the scenes is very scary. Stay centered and be ready.

The freight market is living a double life. On one hand, the domestic market is hitting the brakes, defined by shrinking truckload capacity and regulatory friction. On the other, global players and specialized sectors are flooring the accelerator on massive investments.In this episode, we dissect this "market schizophrenia". We look at how a 32% drop in new tractor builds and stricter enforcement of driver language rules are tightening the screws on capacity. We also explore the massive strategic investments happening in global air cargo, AI-driven safety tech, and specialized healthcare logistics.But as fleets fight for volume, they're also battling a two-front war. Michael "Mike" Precia, President and CSO of Fleetworthy, joins the show to discuss the other crisis: the compounding rise in essential costs. With truck insurance premiums up 43% in five years and toll costs doubling in the last decade, Precia argues that survival in this cycle won't come from waiting for demand. It will be won by fleets that master "fleet readiness" and gain visibility over the costs they can control.Follow the Loaded and Rolling PodcastOther FreightWaves Shows Learn more about your ad choices.

When Dr. Taryn Fletcher walked away from her six-figure leadership career in education, it wasn't because she failed—it was because she outgrew it. Within just 90 days of starting her business, she turned her professional network and reputation into $100,000 in corporate contracts. Three years later, her business had generated over $1 million in revenue—all through organic visibility and relationships built long before she became an entrepreneur. Taryn calls this leveraging leadership equity—using the skills, credibility, and connections you've already built to create new opportunities. By positioning herself as a thought leader through her TEDx talk, bestselling book, and consistent visibility, she built trust that converted into demand. In this case study, you'll learn how Taryn turned her corporate influence into a seven-figure brand—and how you can use the same principles to power your own career or business pivot.

You can do a lot right in your business and still plant legal landmines without realizing it. We brought attorney-turned-founder Bobby Clink on to walk through the simple, practical steps that keep online businesses out of trouble—so you can grow without fear of rebrands, takedowns, or messy disputes. From naming a podcast or course to handling email consent across borders, we break down the exact checks ambitious creators should run before momentum builds.We start by separating copyright (your content) from trademarks (your brand) with real examples: why a five-minute trademark search saves a five-figure rebrand, what's worth registering with the Copyright Office, and how AI-generated content changes what you actually own. Then we move into email: GDPR consent done right with unchecked boxes, why CAN-SPAM is not a hall pass, and how to keep your list-building clean without tanking deliverability. We also tackle the overlooked risk of memes and GIFs in newsletters, the right way to license images, and the safe lane with Canva's terms.Contracts get the spotlight too. Bobby explains why written agreements protect relationships, not just revenue, and how to structure terms that match the reality of your offers—scope, IP ownership, refunds, termination, and more. To make this easier, we explore Bobby's Plainly Legal platform: a free Legal Manager that audits your business and prioritizes tasks, a powerful agreement generator with e‑signature, and Chat Legal for quick, vetted answers. The goal isn't to turn you into a lawyer—it's to give you the confidence to build, market, and sell without second-guessing every step.If you found this helpful, follow the show, share it with a founder who needs a legal tune‑up, and leave a quick review so more builders can find it.
