In this episode of the Smart Real Estate Coach Podcast, I'm hanging out with someone who's been in the trenches in some of the toughest rental markets and came out retired on a Florida beach — Ron Faraci. Ron has owned and managed several hundred low-income rentals, transformed ugly, problem portfolios into highly profitable ones, and ran CT REIA, the fifth-largest real estate investors association in the country. He's also the author of Confessions of a Landlord and creator of the now-famous 31-page "Bulletproof Lease."     We unpack how Ron quit his job, cashed out his 401(k), and went all-in on class C/D "ghetto-adjacent" properties, why he cares more about terms than price, and how he used forced appreciation and systems to retire in his mid-40s. He shares real-world landlording tactics—no garbage disposals, painted "magic handles," orange-coated copper, even canine-unit letters to chase off drug dealers—plus why he runs his business with "no mercy, no quarter" and a lease tenants initial 80+ times.   If you're a landlord, property manager, or aspiring buy-and-hold investor who wants cash flow, control, and fewer headaches, this conversation is a masterclass in how to make tough rentals profitable without losing your mind.   Key Talking Points of the Episode   00:00 Introduction 01:03 Who is Ron Faraci?  02:30 Semi-retired in St. Augustine, FL (and why the beach isn't "enough") 03:13 Blue-collar beginnings, LA sales job, and a fear of losing it all 04:34 Quitting the job, cashing in his 401K and burning the boats 05:05 Discovering creative financing early in his real estate career 06:02 Finding his tribe in CT REIA and buying it 07:11 Selling CT REIA and realizing that there's no finish line 08:45 Why joining your local REIA is key to getting started 10:20 Macro curveballs & building your "pivot muscle" 11:16 The pivot during COVID: Zoom meetings & over-delivering value 12:44 The money in tough, low-income areas 13:30 The million-dollar "worst two-family" example 14:02 No mercy, no quarter: If you want a friend, buy a puppy 15:16 The importance of knowing your fastball and letting someone else run your business 19:17 Appreciation vs. forcing NOI with cap rates as multipliers 20:38 What doesn't belong in low-income units 22:24 Magic handles, dirty copper & fly-free trash cans 25:30 Clearing out drug dealers with a single letter 27:57 The story behind The Bulletproof Lease 28:31 Where to find a copy of the Bulletproof Lease   Quotables   "You grow up with no money, you're stressed about having no money. Then you get a little bit, you're stressed about losing it."   "If I was playing poker, I pushed all the chips in. If you want to take the island, burn your boats."   "No mercy, no quarter… If you want a friend, buy a puppy… and if you want to eff around, you're going to find out."   Links   The Bulletproof Lease https://bulletprooflease.com   QLS 4.0 - Use coupon code for 50% off https://smartrealestatecoach.com/qls Coupon code: pod   Apprentice Program https://3paydaysapprentice.com Coupon code: Podcast   Masterclass https://smartrealestatecoach.com/masterspodcast   3 Paydays Books https://3paydaysbooks.com/podcast   Strategy Session https://smartrealestatecoach.com/actionpodcast   Partners https://smartrealestatecoach.com/podcastresources

Gallbladder pain is often blamed on diet, gallstones, or digestive issues… but for many people with thyroid conditions, the link runs deeper. In this episode, we explore how Hashimoto's and hypothyroidism may contribute to gallbladder dysfunction, why symptoms are often misattributed, and what you can do to get answers.In this episode you'll learn:How low thyroid function can impact bile production, digestion, and gallbladder health — and why so many patients are caught in a cycle of pain and frustration.The overlapping symptoms that get overlooked, including bloating, upper abdominal discomfort, nausea, and fatigue — and why they may be mistaken for “just digestive issues.”The role of inflammation, autoimmune triggers, and hormonal changes in gallbladder function for people with Hashimoto's.How thyroid medication, diet, and gut support can influence gallbladder health and improve treatment outcomes.Practical strategies to support digestion, reduce inflammation, and work with your healthcare provider to identify hidden contributors.What research tells us — and what remains unknown — about the thyroid-gallbladder connection.If you've experienced persistent digestive pain, bloating, or fatigue despite managing your thyroid, or if you've ever wondered why gallbladder issues seem harder to resolve with Hashimoto's, this episode sheds light on a connection few people talk about.

What if everything you thought about muscle building, fat loss, and strength training was backwards? In this episode of the Metabolic Freedom Podcast, host Ben Azadi sits down with Dr. John Jaquish, biomedical engineer, inventor, and author of Weight Lifting Is a Waste of Time, for a deep-dive conversation that challenges traditional fitness dogma. Dr. Jaquish explains why conventional weightlifting, bulking, and endless cardio are inefficient, unnecessary, and often counter-productive for real body recomposition. He shares the science behind variable resistance training, how high protein intake drives metabolism, why low carbohydrate thresholds matter, and how your body can build muscle and burn fat simultaneously without joint destruction or outdated exercise myths. Whether you lift weights regularly or you've ever felt stuck in your progress, this episode will flip your assumptions about muscle, fat loss, and strength gains — and give you a new framework to achieve both lean muscle and metabolic freedom. Key Topics Covered • Why body recomposition is possible at all fitness levels • How variable resistance training (like X3) outperforms traditional lifting • Why high protein consumption accelerates fat loss • The science behind low carbohydrate thresholds for muscle glycogen • Myths about how much protein the body can absorb • Why calories are a flawed measure for muscle growth • Essential amino acids, creatine, peptides — what works and when • How short, high-intensity training minimizes joint wear • Why traditional cardio rarely drives body recomposition Books Mentioned

Tick bites can leave more than a rash — for some, they may set off long-term immune changes, inflammation, and even autoimmune thyroid disease. In this episode, we unpack the debated but increasingly researched connection between Lyme disease, chronic infection, and thyroid dysfunction.In this episode you'll learn:How Lyme disease affects your immune system long after treatment in some individuals.Theories on why Lyme may contribute to Hashimoto's — and what science is still uncovering.Why symptoms of chronic Lyme and hypothyroidism overlap, from fatigue to brain fog to muscle pain.Why thyroid labs may fluctuate during infection or post-infection recovery.How inflammation, stress responses, and autoimmunity collide in persistent Lyme cases.Practical steps if you suspect Lyme is impacting your thyroid — including testing and timing of treatment.If you've dealt with Lyme, struggle with unexplained thyroid symptoms, or feel like your health changed after “one bite,” this episode offers clarity, nuance, and hope.

In this episode of the Smart Real Estate Coach Podcast, I'm finally pulling back the curtain on how we insure our own portfolio. For about 12 years, my family and I have insured all of our non-owner-occupied, investment properties through National Real Estate Insurance Group (NREIG), whether it's buy-and-hold rentals, multifamily, or creative subject-to deals.   I'm joined by Seth Markum, Executive VP of Sales at NREIG, with 20+ years in property and casualty insurance and a background in building one of the first national online commercial P&C agencies. We break down landlord insurance vs. homeowners insurance, why rental properties are treated as commercial exposure, and how NREIG structures real estate investor insurance across single-family, multifamily, short-term rentals, mobile homes, land, and creative strategies even if you're using multiple LLCs in multiple states.   Seth also walks you through their monthly reporting program, how one flexible policy can follow a property from occupied to vacant to renovation without gaps in coverage, and how they handle subject-to insurance the right way.   If you've ever wondered how to properly insure your rental properties and real estate investments, this episode will show you exactly what to ask for and how to get a proposal from NREIG.   Key Talking Points of the Episode: 00:00 Introduction 01:11 Who is Seth Markum? 03:19 Landlord vs. homeowner policies (and why homeowners "never works") 04:18 One company vs. multiple niches: why customization matters 05:08 No one-size-fits-all: mix forms, deductibles & locations 06:21 What makes NREIG different from other insurance companies 08:19 Why you don't want "agent Bob on the corner" for creative deals 09:01 Making insurance simple for real estate investors 10:02 Dealing with vacancies and fix and flips with NREIG 11:21 How to get a proposal from NREIG 13:10 The importance of understanding the kind of insurance you have   Quotables   "If you're not getting a customized policy… that may not be the scenario that you want to entertain."    "All phases of occupancy are contemplated on our single policy form."   "If you just want something that's going to be all encompassing, no matter what your strategy is, this is going to be the best solution for you."   Links   NREIG https://nreig.com/ sales@nreig.com   QLS 4.0 - Use coupon code for 50% off https://smartrealestatecoach.com/qls Coupon code: pod   Apprentice Program https://3paydaysapprentice.com Coupon code: Podcast   Masterclass https://smartrealestatecoach.com/masterspodcast   3 Paydays Books https://3paydaysbooks.com/podcast   Strategy Session https://smartrealestatecoach.com/actionpodcast   Partners https://smartrealestatecoach.com/podcastresources

Hypothyroidism in seniors is common — but frequently underdiagnosed, undertreated, or misunderstood. Aging bodies metabolize medications differently, symptoms can mimic other conditions, and “normal ranges” aren't always normal for older adults. In this episode, we dive into how thyroid care evolves in life's later chapters, and you'll learn:Why hypothyroidism rates increase with age — and which symptoms aren't “just getting older.”The difference between normal aging and thyroid-driven cognitive decline, depression, or fatigue.Why seniors may need different testing, dosing, and follow-up — especially with heart conditions or bone health in the picture.How untreated hypothyroidism impacts memory, falls, cholesterol, and independence.Medication tips for seniors, including absorption issues, polypharmacy, and brands vs generics.How to advocate — respectfully and effectively — for care beyond a TSH test.Whether you're managing your thyroid after 60, caring for a parent, or wondering if symptoms are being overlooked — this episode helps you navigate thyroid health with confidence.

Ever feel like you just can't get enough air, even when your oxygen levels are normal? For many people with hypothyroidism or Hashimoto's, shortness of breath and “air hunger” are confusing — often dismissed as anxiety, asthma, or “nothing to worry about.” In this episode, we unpack the lesser-known thyroid connection behind breathing difficulties.You'll learn:What air hunger actually is — and why it can feel like breathlessness without a measurable lung problem.How hypothyroidism slows respiratory muscle function — including the diaphragm.The surprising link between low thyroid levels and anxiety-like symptoms such as chest pressure, panic sensations, and air hunger.When shortness of breath means “thyroid,” not just “stress.”Red flags to discuss with your clinician, especially if symptoms worsen around medication timing, dosage shifts, or flare-ups.Simple strategies that can help — from improving breathing mechanics to ruling out other causes.If you've ever wondered, “Why does breathing feel harder when everything looks normal on paper?” — this episode gives you clarity, validation, and actionable steps.

In this episode of the Smart Real Estate Coach Podcast, I sit down with Alex Arguelles—CEO, co-founder, and operator who scaled from a two-man startup in a garage to 9,000+ units across multiple states by his early 30s. We unpack how he started buying distressed debt right out of college in 2007–2008, raised 100% investor capital, vertically integrated management, and navigated all the headaches that come with growing from 3 employees to 175 and working through 15,000 apartments over 13 years.     We talk about raising credibility when you're young and broke, hiring (and firing) your first key people, managing teams in multiple states, and why Alex believes your unfair advantage is your willingness to "just learn" by getting your hands dirty. Then we fast-forward to today and dive into his new national sale-leaseback platform, Sell2Rent, how it helps investors buy cash-flowing homes with prepaid rent, and why he thinks the people willing to take smart risks in this cycle will be the ones ahead in 2–3 years.   If you're trying to go from one or two deals to building something scalable, whether that's a lean portfolio or a full-blown company. This one's a real-world masterclass in cycles, capital, people, and mindset.   Key Talking Points of the Episode   00:00 Introduction 01:01 Meet Alex Arguelles: From 21-year-old founder to 9,000 units 02:16 Scaling from 3 people to 175 employees before exiting in 2020 03:24 Running toward the fire: distressed debt & vertical integration 05:03 No burn, no money, and desensitized to risk 06:48 The problems with building credibility as a young investor 08:02 Dealing with doubters and how pain tolerance plays into his success 09:06 Learning through Mortgage for Dummies and no YouTube  10:05 Lessons from scaling across states on culture, DNA & hiring remotely 11:20 The importance of hiring better people to avoid big, expensive mistakes 15:04 Where investors can find opportunities in real estate today 16:36 The Florida real estate market: valuations and rents holding (for now) 17:22 The differences between 2008 and 2025 18:30 How data access can help you collaborate with other investors in your area 20:08 The first step to getting involved in multifamily real estate 21:06 How you should navigate the single-family real estate market 22:37 Sell2Rent: A nationwide platform that connects investors with off-market properties 23:49 What makes Sell2Rent different from other similar platforms  25:02 How taking smarter risks today will put you ahead in 2-3 years 27:14 How to get in touch with Alex and his team   Quotables   "We started running towards the fire.

  Emotional Ownership: Understanding and Responding to Your Inner World Summary In this timely episode, Dr. Kevin Skinner and MaryAnn Michaelis explore one of the most essential—and most avoided—skills in relationships: emotional ownership. As the holiday season intensifies stress, loneliness, old family wounds, and relational tension, the ability to understand and take responsibility for our internal world becomes even more vital. Together, they break down what emotional ownership looks like and what it does not look like. Using real-life examples, including a vulnerable story from Dr. Skinner, the conversation highlights how quickly couples slip into blame, shame spirals, and reactive “hot” responses. MaryAnn emphasizes the role of tone, kindness, and Gottman's concept of positive sentiment override, while Dr. Skinner demonstrates how owning one's emotional experience opens the door to connection rather than conflict. Listeners will learn: Why people often don't know what they feel—and why that's okay How holiday dynamics intensify emotional triggers The difference between owning an emotion and shifting responsibility How tone and delivery change everything in difficult conversations How shame, avoidance, and catastrophizing block intimacy Why slowing down your internal experience leads to deeper connection How emotional ownership becomes the foundation of relational safety, trust, and maturity The episode ends with practical guidance on taking responsibility for your own emotions, choosing kindness, and knowing when deeper therapeutic work is needed. Dr. Skinner and MaryAnn invite listeners to reflect honestly on their emotional patterns and make conscious choices that lead to healthier, more intimate relationships. Resources Mentioned Books & Authors Desmond Tutu & Mpho Tutu — The Book of Forgiving Explores the fourfold path to forgiveness, including moving through anger, grief, and acceptance. John Gottman — Research on Bids for Connection & Positive Sentiment Override Essential relationship frameworks explaining how couples build or deplete emotional trust.

Sjögren's syndrome is often dismissed as “just dry eyes and dry mouth”… but the truth runs deeper. For many, it's part of a much larger autoimmune picture — especially when thyroid disease joins the story. In this episode, we uncover how Sjögren's and Hashimoto's share roots, risks, misunderstood symptoms, and why so many people are caught in the middle without answers.In this episode you'll learn:Why Sjögren's and Hashimoto's frequently show up together — and what that means for diagnosis, treatment, and long-term health.The overlapping symptoms that get missed, including fatigue, brain fog, joint pain, and digestive issues — and how many are mistakenly labeled as “just thyroid.”How autoimmune conditions evolve — and what current theories suggest about triggers, immune dysfunction, viral links, and genetics.Sjogren's, thyroid medication, and your eyes, mouth, and gut — surprising ways oral dryness, inflammation, and malabsorption may affect treatment success.Practical strategies to support your immune system, protect moisture, reduce flares, and advocate for complete testing (not just TSH).What the science knows — and what researchers are still trying to understand about autoimmunity, progression, and hope for targeted therapies.If you've been told your symptoms are “in your head,” if you're managing thyroid treatment but still don't feel well, or if you've wondered whether something bigger is going on — this episode shines a light on the autoimmune overlap almost no one talks about.

He does not currently use affiliate links for the products mentioned.] 00:00:00 Introduction and Writing Updates Hello, everyone. Welcome to Episode 280 of The Pulp Writer Show. My name is Jonathan Moeller. Today is a very snowy December 5th, 2025, and today I'm discussing six software tools that are useful for indie authors. Before we get into that, we will have Coupon of the Week and then an update on my current writing, publishing, and audiobook projects. So first up, Coupon of the Week. This week's coupon code will get you 50% off the audiobook of Cloak of Blades, Book #4 in the Cloak Mage series (as excellently narrated by Hollis McCarthy), at my Payhip store. And that is BLADES2025. And as always, the coupon code and the link to my Payhip store will be available in the show notes for this episode. This coupon code will be valid through December the 15th, 2025. So if you need a new audiobook for this winter or for your Christmas travels, we have got you covered. And now for an update on my current writing and publishing projects. As I mentioned last week, Blade of Shadows is out and it's available at Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Kobo, Google Play, Apple Books, Smashwords, and my Payhip store, and it's been doing quite well and gotten a good response from everyone. So thank you for that and I am looking forward to continuing that series. Now that Blade of Shadows is done, my main project is the fifth book in the Half-Elven Thief series, which is Wizard-Assassin. I had originally planned to name it Elven-Assassin, but decided Wizard-Assassin sounded a bit punchier, so I went with that instead. I am 46,000 words into it, which puts me on chapter 10 of 16. The final draft will have more chapters because one of the chapters is 11,000 words. I'm going to have to cut it up. I've also noticed that readers in general these days seem to prefer shorter chapters, so I've been trying to lean more into doing that and having books with shorter chapters. I think the rough draft is going to be about 70 to 75,000 words, give or take. So I'm hoping I can finish that next week, and I am cautiously optimistic I can have the book published before Christmas. If I can't get it published before Christmas, it is going to slip to my first book of 2026. But at the moment, and of course, barring our old unwelcome friend unexpected developments, I am cautiously optimistic I can have it out by Christmas 2025. So watch my website and listen to this space for additional news. My secondary project is Blade of Storms, which will be the third book in the Blades of Ruin series and the direct sequel to Blade of Shadows. I am about 6,000 words into that, and once Wizard-Assassin is done, that will be my main project. I'm hoping to have that out at the end of January, but if Wizard-Assassin slips to January, then Blade of Storms will [of necessity] slip to February. In audiobook news, Blade of Flames, the audiobook of the first book in the Blades of Ruin series, is now out and you can get that at Audible, Amazon, Apple, Kobo, Google Play, my own Payhip store, Spotify, and all the other usual audiobook stores. So if you're looking for something else to listen to during your Christmas travels this year, I suggest checking out Blade of Flames (as excellently narrated by Brad Wills). Cloak of the Embers, the 10th book in the Cloak Mage series (as excellently narrated by Hollis McCarthy)…the recording of that is done and it is being proofed right now, so I am hopeful we can hopefully have that out before Christmas (if all goes well). In fact, after I record this podcast episode, I'm going to have to convert the ebook cover of Cloak of Embers into an audiobook cover for Cloak of Embers. So that is where I'm at with my current writing and publishing projects. There is definitely a lot going on. 00:03:40 Main Topic: 6 Helpful Writing Tools for Indie Authors in 2025 [All Prices referenced are USD.] Now we're going to move on to our main topic this week, which is six helpful writing tools for indie authors in 2025. Last year in 2024, I did a roundup of popular software tools for writers and I thought I would give a quick update for it. Some of these tools like Calibre and LibreOffice I use, while others like Scrivener and Notion just aren't great fit for my workflow, I still want to talk about them anyways since just because I don't use them doesn't mean that they're not good and a lot of writers do in fact use them. Many writers also have complex systems for organizing their files and would benefit from tools like that. Without further ado, here are six pieces of software used for writing and writing adjacent tasks. I should mention before we get going as well that none of these tools are explicitly generative AI tools because as you know, if you've listened to the podcast over the years is my opinion of generative AI remains mostly negative. I have and continue to do some marketing experiments with generative AI elements, but I remain overall unimpressed by the technology. So with that in mind, none of these software tools I'm going to mention are explicitly AI tools. Some of them do have AI elements that you can plug in and use if you want to, but they aren't part of the core functionality of the application unless you specifically seek it out. With that in mind, let's get to it. #1: The first one we will talk about is Scrivener. Scrivener is of course essentially a word processor and project management system specifically designed for creative or nonfiction writing, unlike a traditional word processor like Microsoft Word, LibreOffice Writer, or Apple Pages. It features tools for outlining, for breaking documents into chapters, tracking word count goals and et cetera. One of the major benefits of it is a one-time cost instead of as a subscription because it seems like everything is a subscription nowadays, but Scrivener is still $60 a pop. They also offer a free trial and student discount and occasionally [it will] go on sale during peak times like the holidays. The downside of this is that Scrivener has a sharp learning curve. For myself when I write, I write either in Microsoft Word or Libre Office and I just sit down and write. When I write an outline, it's one Word document and the rough draft is another document that I write until I'm done. Scrivener is definitely a more complex software application, which I have to admit is funny to say because Microsoft Word is ridiculously complicated and has, in my opinion, far more functionality stuffed into it than it really needs. But Scrivener is a different kind of functionality and therefore the learning curve could be quite high for that. Additionally, this may not be the right software tool to work with your style of writing or how you organize your files. A couple extra thoughts with that is it's important to know yourself. Will you actually use the extra features included with Scrivener or do they just look cool and shiny? Scrivener probably is best for those who take extensive notes on their work, especially if trying to organize research based on chapters where it's needed. So if you're a nonfiction writer or if you're a historical fiction writer or a thriller writer who is very concerned about accuracy in your books, this may be useful for you so you can put in notes about the proper way to address a duke in 19th century England or what caliber of ammunition your thriller hero's preferred firearm takes. It's maybe the best for the kind of people who enjoy curating their Notion and Trello accounts and are able to think about their book in a very visual way without letting that process be an excuse to keep them from writing. I'd also say it's good for people who extensively revise blocks of text within a chapter and move chapters around a lot. #2: Canva. Canva has been around for a long time and it is a platform that makes it easy to create visual content using a drag and drop interface that provides a variety of templates, fonts, and designs to use for things like social media posts. They currently have two tiers for individuals, a limited free option, and Canva Pro, which is $12.99 a month. Some of the pros for Canva are it is well-suited for using templates for writers to create images for social media posts and book marketing material. The learning curve is not very steep, especially compared with something like Photoshop. If you've used PowerPoint before, you can definitely handle Canva. The cons: although some people use it to create book covers, many books have been flagged by Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP) and some of the other publishing platforms for doing so. I would advise you to avoid Canva for creating book covers because of the potential for issues that could keep your book out of ebook stores. At the very least, read Canva's terms of use and the rules of KDP and the other ebook publishers very, very carefully before you would even begin to consider using Canva for this purpose. Many of the free features have been folded into the pro version such as sharing template links. The editing and design features are basic compared to something like Photoshop, though that may change as we're going to discuss a little bit here. Because Canva is so popular, there's a certain amount of snobbery out there about using its designs without significant modification. You may have encountered on social media or the Internet people who react very negatively to the presence of AI generated images and this exists to a lesser extent with Canva templates. "Looks like it was made in Canva" is sometimes used as an insult. If you want a unique style and look for your images, you'll have to work a little more to achieve that using Canva. Canva is quick for great one-time things like Facebook or BookBub ads, but I wouldn't recommend using it for book creation or book covers at this time because of the potential problems that can arise from that. For myself, I don't usually use Canva. I've had enough practice with Photoshop that I'm pretty confident in making whatever I want in terms of ad images or book covers in Photoshop, and I use Photoshop for that. However, since I organized the notes for this episode, there is a major caveat to that. Recently, Canva acquired a program called Affinity Photo Editor, which is essentially a much lower cost alternative to Photoshop. When this happened, there was a great deal of negativity around it because people thought Canva was going to jack up the price or make it into an overpriced subscription. But what Canva did surprised a great many people in that they made Affinity totally free and essentially are using a freemium model with it where you can use Affinity Photo Editor for free. It used to be, I believe like $79, possibly $69, and then any of the other features like downloading additional content from Canva would cost part of your Canva subscription. So I have to admit, I'm sufficiently curious about this, that when I write the tie in short story for Wizard-Assassin, I may use Affinity Photo Editor to assemble the cover for it just to see if it would work for that or not, because as I've said, I use Photoshop, but Photoshop is very expensive, Adobe frequently does business practices that are a bit shifty, and the idea of a freemium alternative to Photoshop is not necessarily a bad idea. So when I write a tie in short story for Wizard-Assassin later this month, I think I will attempt to make the cover in Affinity Photo Editor and see if that is something that would be good for my workflow or not, and I will report on that later. #3: Number three is Notion, which can be used to organize information, links, calendars, and reminders into one central dashboard. They have two plans for individuals, a free plan and a Plus plan, which is currently $10 to $12 per month (depending on whether you want a monthly or an annual plan). The Plus version offers unlimited file uploads, greater customizations, and integrations with Slack and Google Drive. The pros for using Notion is that it is popular with writers and content creators for being able to have project planning tools, notes, lists, links, trackers, and reminders all in one dashboard. If you enjoy customization and getting something set up exactly the way you want, you might enjoy setting up your lists, calendars, trackers, and notes through Notion. You can add images and adjust the layout and colors for a more "aesthetic" experience. It is easy to find customized templates [online], especially for writers and for things like storyboarding, word counts, and keeping tracks of sources for nonfiction writing. These Notion templates are shared by individuals, not the company and can be free or paid. Now, some of the cons with Notion. It didn't used to use very much AI, but the company is leaning increasingly heavy into AI, both as a company and in its features on the boards, if that is a concern. The amount of customization options and detail can be absolutely overwhelming. Someone who gets decision fatigue easily or doesn't want to customize a lot and might not enjoy using it. Some people are increasingly complaining that the software is getting too overloaded with features and is slow. For people who value being organized and love having complex and highly visual systems, Notion might be helpful. The downside is that maintaining your Notion boards can easily turn into what I call a "writing-adjacent activity" that gives you the illusion of productivity because of the time you spend managing and updating it aside from the business of getting actual writing done. So once again, this is a good example of "know thyself." If this is something that would be helpful for you, go ahead and pursue it. But if it's something that could turn into a tool for procrastination, it's probably better to avoid it. For myself, I am old enough that when I need to make lists and keep track of things, I have a yellow legal pad on my desk that I write things down on. #4: The next piece of software we're going to look at is LibreOffice. It is an open source piece of software that closely matches Microsoft Office, including Microsoft Word. Pros: It's free and open source. There's a minimal learning curve for those already familiar with Microsoft Word. The interface is a little different, but it's pretty easy to figure things out if you're familiar with Word or Excel. Some swear that that LibreOffice is faster than Word. It depends on the kind of document you're working on and the kind of computer you're using. So that's an area where your mileage may vary. It is also the best word processing option for privacy advocates, especially for those who are concerned about Microsoft and Google storing their work and possibly harvesting it for AI because by default, LibreOffice doesn't work with any AI elements. If you want it to work with any AI elements, plugins are available but they are not included. It's great for the writer who doesn't want to support Microsoft for any reason but still wants to be able to easily save documents in Microsoft file formats like .docx. It works. I've written entire books using it. I wrote all of Soul of Serpents and Soul of Dragons in it, and that was 13 years ago now, and the software has only improved since then. I wrote Silent Order: Eclipse Hand [using it] in 2017 and was very happy with the results, and I still use it for various projects every week, and I found a couple times if something was screwed up in the formatting of Microsoft Word, if I opened it up in LibreOffice, I could fix it pretty easily and much easier than I could in Word. It does have a few cons. The user interface compared to Word or something like Apple Pages does look a bit dated, but it's still navigable. It doesn't have any cloud storage functionality. You would need to piece it together with another storage option if you want to be able to backup stuff to the cloud. But overall, if you can't afford the Microsoft Office Suite, don't want to support Microsoft, and value your privacy, this is your best bet for word processing. Some people may not like its interface, but it's still an extremely solid piece of free software. #5: And now let's move on to our fifth software tool, which is Calibre. Calibre is a tool for ebook management. It can be used for file formatting, changing your books' metadata, or changing file formats. Many use it to create a custom ebook library. Pros include: the product is free and open source. It is easy to generate different file formats for book publication. Do you want to categorize and organize your books in a very specific way? Calibre works for that. The cons: some people find the interface a little clunky and it comes with a bit of a learning curve. To be honest, the interface does look like it came from Windows 2000 and some of the features rely on knowledge of HTML and CSS. Editing and formatting of the book itself is better done using other software. Final thoughts on that? The software is trustworthy, reliable, and has been maintained over the years. It does exactly what it says it does, without any real style but plenty of substance. And I've been a regular Calibre user for like 15 years now, and whenever I get a new computer Calibre is usually one of the very first things I install on it. #6: And now for our sixth and final tool, Inkarnate. Inkarnate is a very useful piece of software that is designed for creating maps. I believe it was originally intended to create maps for role-playing games like Dungeons and Dragons and Pathfinder and so forth. But it's also very useful for creating maps for fantasy novels. As I may have mentioned on the podcast a few times before, I really don't like making maps. I find it constraining and it makes the writing feel a bit crabbed at times. That said, I write primarily in the fantasy genre and people in the fantasy genre love maps, so I'm kind of on the hook for making maps. I used to draw the maps by hand and then import it into Photoshop and add all the locations and add colors and so forth. But that is a lot of work, I have to admit. Inkarnate makes it a lot easier, and I've used it for the last couple of maps I've made. The map of the city of Tar-Carmatheion in the Half-Elven Thief books came from Inkarnate. The map of Owyllain for Blades of Ruin came from Inkarnate, and the map of New Kyre and adjoining regions for Ghost Armor also came from Inkarnate. It's very affordable too. The subscription, I believe, is only $30 a year, and I've been using for a few years now and have never regretted it. So I'd say all the pros are all the ones I've already listed. The cons are that the learning curve is a little bit sharp, but there are excellent YouTube videos and tutorials for that. So, final thoughts. If you find yourself needing to make maps and don't enjoy the process of making maps, then Inkarnate is the software product for you. So those are six tools, software tools for indie authors that I hope will make you more productive and make your work easier. So that is it for this week.

In Episode 285, I sit down with father–son jiu-jitsu black belts Jeff and Aaron Tiegs. It's wild how small the world is—Aaron and I first connected through jiu-jitsu, and I've had him up to train my athletes a couple of times because he's an exceptional grappler and instructor. Last week, when he came up to teach, he brought his father Jeff with him. Jeff and I quickly realized we were Rangers together back in 2000 at Alpha Company, 2/75. I was a private and he was the company Executive Officer. Obviously, with that rank gap, we didn't forge a friendship back then, but he was an exceptional Ranger who was respected by everyone. Connecting again all these years later was a real pleasure. The three of us sat down and talked about life, the military, jiu-jitsu, and more.

Fascia might be the most important system you've never heard of. This episode unpacks how this stretchy, sensory, hormone-responsive web inside your body shapes everything from flexibility and pain to thyroid symptoms, menopause changes, gut function, and weight loss.We dive into why stiff, dehydrated, or inflamed fascia can mimic hypothyroidism, intensify perimenopause and menopause symptoms, stall your metabolism, and magnify gut issues like bloating, constipation, and systemic inflammation.In this episode, you'll learn:What fascia actually is and why it's far more than “connective tissue”How thyroid conditions like Hashimoto's and hypothyroidism change fascia, leading to stiffness, pain, and slow healingHow estrogen loss in perimenopause and menopause affects fascia hydration and elasticity, and why that matters for mobility and weight gainThe surprising link between fascia and gut health, including lymphatic flow, inflammation, and IBS-like symptomsHow fascia influences metabolic function and why tight fascia can make weight loss harderThe most effective ways to support and heal fascia—from movement and manual therapies to nutrition, hydration, supplements, and stress reduction

In this masterclass episode of the Smart Real Estate Coach Podcast, I sit down with Trevor Mauch, founder and CEO of Carrot, a five-time Inc. 5000 company that's helped thousands of real estate investors and agents generate highly motivated seller leads online. Trevor's not just a "software guy" either—he's a buy-and-hold commercial investor himself, doing owner-carry deals and turning dead space into productive luxury apartments in his small town of Roseburg, Oregon. We start with something almost everyone asks me at bootcamps: lead gen. Trevor breaks down what he calls evergreen marketing, online lead systems that work for you 24/7 instead of keeping you on the hamster wheel of cold calling and direct mail. Then we go deep on AI search visibility, how Google's AI overviews and tools like ChatGPT are changing SEO, and what you can do right now to win in that new world. From there we shift into entrepreneur mindset: breaking through revenue "pain lines," designing your calendar around energy instead of just money, and building a business that actually funds your life vision instead of trapping you.  Trevor shares exactly how he scaled Carrot to an eight-figure company, the role coaching and masterminds played, and why your business should give you energy, income, and impact, not just revenue.  Key Talking Points of the Episode   00:00 Introduction 01:04 Who is Trevor Mauch? 03:02 Trevor's background: Growing Carrot and investing in real estate 04:55 The problem with "hamster wheel" marketing 06:56 How evergreen marketing generates inbound online leads 07:57 The impact of AI in how SEO works today 09:15 Practical AI SEO tips you can implement today 12:26 Taking advantage of hyperlocal links to build credibility online 15:56 Where to find Trevor and the AI Search Visibility Challenge 17:20 Business growth in 3s and 10s: The "Pain Lines" 19:50 Avoiding the "shiny object" churn through 12-month contracts 21:02 Optimizing for revenue vs optimizing for energy 22:01 The Quarterly Energy Audit: Identifying top energy-drainers 23:07 Redefining success and the purpose of being in business 27:09 Business game-changers: Coaching programs and masterminds 31:21 Fitness, faith, and proximity 34:04 What's next: EPIC Coaching, AI, and expanding Carrot   Quotables   "Business should give us work that interests and energizes us, it should fund our vision, and it should help us deliver an impact we're proud of."   "Evergreen marketing might take a little bit longer to get going, but it builds this foundation and it builds amazing momentum."   "You're the best person to mentor the person you used to be."   Links   Carrot https://carrot.com   Trevor Mauch https://instagram.com/trevor.mauch   QLS 4.0 - Use coupon code for 50% off https://smartrealestatecoach.com/qls Coupon code: pod   Apprentice Program https://3paydaysapprentice.com Coupon code: Podcast   Masterclass https://smartrealestatecoach.com/actionpodcast   3 Paydays Books https://3paydaysbooks.com/podcast   Strategy Session https://smartrealestatecoach.com/actionpodcast   Partners https://smartrealestatecoach.com/podcastresources

Happy December! Welcome we made it through the gauntlet that was Thanksgiving, Black Friday, Cyber Monday, and probably a few awkward family moments and conversations over the dinner table. We just got back from our first family trip out to DC for Thanksgiving, and we are so glad to be back home in warm, sunny CA.  So first - take a deep breath.  You did it! Now there's just Christmas and New Year's to get through, no big deal.  December can sometimes feel like this weird in-between - part celebration, part exhaustion, part busy, part vacation.  It's a crazy fun time!  But it's also the perfect time to slow down, reflect, look ahead and start dreaming about the new year - without the pressure, guilt, or unrealistic resolutions that seem to pop onto our to-do list come January 1st.  Today we're talking about how to start planning for 2026 without the overwhelm, how to create a rhythm and vision for your new year that actually fits your real life and gets you excited about the new year ahead.  Let's get started.    Reminder: If you grabbed the Rest & Reclaim Bundle during Black Friday - first of all amazing!

Think the microbes in your gut are just about digestion? Think again. In this episode, we dive into the under-the-radar role of probiotics and your gut microbiome — and how they may influence not just digestion, but hormones, immune function, metabolic health, and weight.In this episode you'll learn:What exactly probiotics are (and how they differ from general gut bacteria) — and why strain, dose, and context matter. How your gut health intersects with thyroid conditions, menopause or perimenopause, and hormonal changes.How a healthy gut — supported by the right probiotic foods or supplements — might help ease gut-related issues and support better nutrient absorption, immune balance, and overall well-being.What the current science says (and doesn't say) about probiotics and weight management. Practical tips: how to choose probiotic foods and supplements wisely, what to look for on a label , and how to combine them with fiber, nutrition, and lifestyle habits for the best results.If you're navigating thyroid health, hormone shifts, mid-life metabolism, or gut issues — or simply curious about whether probiotics deserve a place in your wellness toolkit — this episode will walk you through what works, what's speculative, and how to approach probiotics with clarity rather than hype. 

What does it look like to grow a thriving business without the hustle — one that honors God, your family, and your peace? In this powerful episode of The Journey to Becoming Podcast, I sit down with Stefanie Gass — Christian business and podcast coach, boy mom, seven-figure CEO, and host of the top 20 globally ranked show, Online Business for Christian Women. Stefanie shares her personal journey of surrendering her own plans and learning how to partner with God in business — creating impact and consistent income without sacrificing faith or family. From burnout and striving to building a purpose-led business rooted in obedience, her story is a reminder that success doesn't have to look like the world says it should. If you've ever felt torn between your calling and your responsibilities — or wondered how to grow what God's placed in your hands His way — this conversation will encourage you to slow down, seek His guidance, and trust that when you align your work with Heaven, fruitfulness will always follow.

In this solo episode of the Smart Real Estate Coach Podcast, I pull back the curtain on my early days of investing and the messy transition from the 2008 crash into creative real estate. I walk you through the "dead zone" years, the IRS and creditor headaches, the move from a waterfront home into a 900-square-foot apartment, and how those experiences forced me to design what eventually became our Three Paydays™ system.   If you're sitting in a W2 you don't love, stuck in analysis paralysis, or wondering how to actually replace your job with creative real estate deals, this one is for you. I'll share the exact sequence: hiring a coach when I had no money, raising $25K for a mastermind, doing my first 12+ deals out of a tiny office, building the team around me, and scaling from zero to 10 properties a month under contract.   You'll hear the mindset shifts, the tactical steps, and the hard-won lessons that took me from "completely stuck in my head" to building a business and community that now has 95+ years of combined experience helping students all over North America.    The goal is simple: shorten your learning curve, help you avoid my mistakes, and challenge you to ask, "Why not me?"   Key Talking Points of the Episode   00:00 Introduction 01:24 The value of getting "a decade worth of lessons" handed to you 03:05 The difference between knowing the path vs. walking it 04:24 30/60/120-second decisions & the cost of indecision 05:47 What your real risk is: Gut check for anyone with a W2 07:13 Goals vs. a real plan with accountability 08:17 Why you don't need the full "how" before you commit to a clear beacon 09:31 IRS, creditors, repossessions, and downsizing to a 900-square-foot apartment 10:10 The birth of the Three Paydays system 11:08 How that "you're done" moment forced me back into the trenches making calls 12:03 Lesson: doubters, weather, circumstances, and past failures can't stop you 14:10 The difference between "crap debt" for toys and investing in yourself 15:34 Proximity, association & eliminating money stress 16:31 How thinking about money 24/7 chokes your creativity 17:20 Why you only need a phone and leads—no fancy tech required 18:13 How 13 deals stacked up between August and December 2013 19:08 Building the team: VAs, Nick, and qualifying buyers 20:23 Why good team members create revenue, not expense 21:29 Lesson: everyone is bad at first—that's normal and fixable 23:53 Tax refund season & stacking big checks 25:05 Future pacing: who are you in 3–5 years? 26:41 Start/stop list & aligning your calendar 28:01 Free resources to help you get on the right track   Quotables   "There is an enormous difference between knowing the right path and walking it, actually doing it in the trenches."   "Only you can stop you."   "Good team members will create more revenue, not expense."   Links   QLS 4.0 - Use coupon code for 50% off https://smartrealestatecoach.com/qls Coupon code: pod   Apprentice Program https://3paydaysapprentice.com Coupon code: Podcast   Masterclass https://smartrealestatecoach.com/masterspodcast   3 Paydays Books 3paydaysbooks.com/podcast    Strategy Session https://smartrealestatecoach.com/actionpodcast   Partners https://smartrealestatecoach.com/podcastresources
