What if your journey to financial freedom began with a Craigslist roommate and a condo covered in shag carpet? In this episode, I had the pleasure of speaking with Jessie Lang, a woman who accidentally found her way into real estate and went on to build a thriving investment business. Jessie didn't come from wealth and didn't have a roadmap. But she took one intentional step at a time, starting with renting out a spare room, and that small move sparked everything. We talk about how she walked away from her W-2 job with no backup plan, built a portfolio of 75 rental doors, and now empowers others to build wealth through real estate. Jessie's story is honest, inspiring, and a powerful reminder that you don't need to have it all figured out to begin. You just need to take that first step. 00:00 How Jessie “accidentally” became a landlord 05:00 Childhood lessons & early money mindset 10:00 Buying her first property with $3K in savings 15:00 House hacking + quitting her job with no plan 20:00 From wholesaling to long-term rentals 25:00 Learning the BRRRR method & building systems 30:00 Managing properties + walking away from bad deals

Butter Town - 32 - More Tribes For Your Jigsaw Puzzle

In this kaleidoscopic episode of Butter Town, “More Tribes for Your Jigsaw Puzzle,” Jaysin and John crack open the existential piñata and let chaos, grief, and radical honesty rain down like confetti soaked in barbecue sauce and enlightenment. The conversation begins with a somber dive into grief—not the soft, cinematic kind, but the unpredictable, elbow-in-your-throat kind that shows up during cereal commercials or while yelling at a printer. Jaysin recounts his theory that mourning is actually a rogue time traveler, showing up at weird moments to rearrange your brain's furniture while wearing a poncho of unresolved emotions. John counters with his belief that all grief is just a cryptic escape room designed by your ancestors, and the only key is a mixtape of memories you swore you threw out in 2009. From there, things spiral gloriously into the absurd. The duo discusses the tribalism of modern thought—how everyone's building their own weird little cults like Pinterest boards with pitchforks. Jaysin claims that we've replaced religions with personality quizzes and vibes-based manifestos. John suggests that society is just one giant group project where no one agreed on the rubric, and half the class thinks the Earth is flat because they read it on a tote bag. They explore what it means to “belong” in an era where every algorithm wants to assign you a tribe—whether it's Mushroom Moms, Crypto Cowboys, or the aggressively neutral fans of beige décor. The metaphor of a jigsaw puzzle becomes the through-line, symbolizing identity as something being built in reverse, with new pieces that don't fit… unless you squint, chew on them, and lie to yourself a little. Midway through, the show detours into a heated debate about whether pigeons are actually sleeper agents from Atlantis and if buttered toast always landing face-down is proof of a cursed simulation. Jaysin insists he once saw a man argue with a goose and lose emotionally. John reads a Craigslist ad that may or may not be a coded transmission from the underground marsupial resistance. THIS EPISODE IS BROUGHT TO YOU BY: Pure force of will. Music: Sonic Ronin Records - https://www.youtube.com/@SonicRonin Book: How To Change Your Mind - https://amzn.to/3Z3qViT As always, Butter Town ends not with answers, but with more questions, more laughter, and one final truth bomb: You're not lost. You're just in the middle of a jigsaw puzzle… and someone added extra tribes.

The author, coach, influencer industry is on it's way out. Love it or hate it, it's the truth. Back in the early 2000s, the Nigerian prince emails started coming out. They were scamming people and soon after, Nigerians started getting arrested and the scam was exposed. Something simliar happened to EBay. Craigslist, same thing. When I started doing the online information business, I made videos. I'd purchase a camera. Editing services. And hosting services. Youtube only allowed for 8 minute videos, so I had to create an hour long training and sell it as a package. Over time, Youtube opened up the recording to 10 minutes and I was able to expand things and cut expenses. Back in 2020, this industry started to really explode. What I learned was those who couldn't or didn't know how to operate a business, started coaching people. That's what I did as a result of not being allowed to make loans in the mortgagge industry. But I was able to coach people on how to use social media and was able to make a living. Right now, all of the coaches, influencers, and authors are starting to be exposed. Marital challenges. Financial hardships. Everything was getting exposed. I'm the Kat Williams of this industry and I know all the secrets. I just store it and people are really struggling to sell event tickets. I'm having a hard time now selling tickets. But I'm okay with it. I don't want to be grouped in with the grifters, and reduced my prices by 80% in Apex. I'd feel like an asshole charging you $150K to coach with me. This is why I made the pivot into Closer Capital............ In a season of people asking for you to donate or fund their investment deals, I'm loaning it out and I've already crushed my 5 year plan. Lean in and listen.

Misstencil, Part 2 (S7E14)

Storied: San Francisco

Play Episode Listen Later May 20, 2025 30:55

In Part 2, we pick up where we left off in Part 1, with Misstencil at a new school half a world away from her home in China. Her time in Switzerland started off in business school, a topic that she admits she's not the best at today. Aside from school, she visited other parts of Europe. She got a job in Switzerland, but called her family back home as much as she could afford to. One call she had with them around the new year one year had her feeling like family members were passing the phone and no one wanted to talk with her. She then learned that her grandfather, the one who had raised her, had passed away days before this call. The family had kept the news of his illness from Misstencil, ostensibly to protect her. Her grandfather's death took her about a decade to get over. She was left with a sense of aimlessness and lack of purpose. Going back home felt out of the question, and she liked Switzerland. But her school there had a joint program with a school in the US, and so she applied for a visa. That school was in South Carolina. When her time in South Carolina came to an end, she had a choice—New York or San Francisco. She (correctly) chose The City. Misstencil had friends in SF already, and they let her stay with her. Those friends told her about a website, then only in the Bay Area, that she could use to find her own place. That site was Craigslist, and they were right. She soon found a place of her own. The year was 2000, and little did she know that she was beginning what would be a decades-long stay here. Her first job in The City was for a big company, one that had a dress code that put her in high heels. Looking back, Misstencil is so far removed from that corporate world that she cannot imagine wearing those shoes, or painting her nails, or other things that go along with corporate culture. But we'll get to that. She found herself meeting and befriending older hippies who encouraged her to pursue her art. She was broke, and they put her up. They helped her get art supplies. She had previously set aside any artistic ambitions while going to school and beginning what she thought would be a career. But summoning inspiration from the art her dad used to do and accepting the help of her friends in her new city, she decided to go for it. Misstencil (not known by that name just yet) began to show her art. She recounts the first time she sold a piece, and how that felt. She walked by the gallery and saw that red dot and knew she had to tell everybody about it. She says that art and San Francisco and those early friends she made here saved her. Looking back on her life and the emotional struggles she had endured, Misstencil came to realize that, as an adult and survivor of depression, she wanted to help kids going through that. She lived with roommates in a rent-controlled spot, thus allowing her to do side work of that nature. The person who today is Misstencil of course wasn't always known by that name. That started in 2022. She shares the origin story of her pseudonym. It all began with her simply wanting to beautify parts of The City that had lost their luster, so to speak—boarded-up storefronts and the like. She found herself all over town, talking to people, hearing their stories, hearing how much neighborhoods meant to people. This led Misstencil to conceive of her “San Francisco Lonely Hearts” project, which is how my life intersected with hers. It's a way for her to show her deep love for and appreciation of San Francisco. She shares how she settled on stencil art for her method lately. She never had any formal training or went to art school. She says that because she didn't have a very happy childhood, she wanted her art to help her feel like a kid again. Misstencil goes on a side story about the time she connected with SF icon Frank Chu and invited him to do Bay to Breakers with her. We also talk about the day we met, when she showed her SF Lonely Hearts work-in-progress canvas outside of Vesuvio. In addition to the 2D art that day in Jack Kerouac Alley, she had Frank Chu on a Roomba holding his infamous “12 Galaxies” sign, and a Golden Gate Bridge bench placed in front of the canvas. Before we wrap, I ask Misstencil about upcoming shows she has, and she humors me by plugging our “Keep It Local” show, which she's in. We end the episode with Misstencil's thoughts about our theme this season and the theme of the show this week: Keep it local. Photography by Nate Oliveira

And before that, she was actually practicing in a smaller law firm and where her story today is going to kind of have some some 02:47 lessons learned on why she chose to leave the firm and move into Greenberg, the Greenberg Lasker. But more importantly, you and I go back a couple years. are part of an informal group of women. We call ourselves Women and Wealth. We meet periodically to really refer business to each other for those women business owners that 03:16 are seeking perhaps an exit in the next three to five years. And through our skillset, some of us are CPAs, strategy advisors, yourself as counsel. A lot of these businesses are family owned. And so you and I and another, know, seven other ladies get to meet each other over lunch and discuss these opportunities. And we're all very passionate about helping women business owners. Aren't we, 03:44 We are Brenda, thank you so much for having me on the Founder's Sandbox. I am an avid listener, so I'm very excited that I get to be a guest. Thank you, thank you. you know, we've had many, conversations, obviously, but I wanted for my listeners to really dive into what you do today, right? Which is really purpose. 04:12 driven and it's preserving family wealth, right? And I know that you actually come from a background where your father owned his business. So tell us a bit, us down memory lane and that first story that you told me. Well, you know, growing up, I watched both of my parents. My mother was a career woman. My father, a financial planner. 04:38 running his own book. My mother, a buyer and then in fashion and then into real estate. I watched they were both very involved in the community. My mother sat on the Studio City Council, the Neighborhood Council. She was on many boards involved with the temple. My father as well sat on many boards involved with the 05:07 Boys and Girls Club, and involved with the Jewish Federation. So I watched as my parents really instilled the importance of being involved in community, being involved in family, being involved in the greater good and in purposeful and meaningful organizations. And I... 05:35 sort of learned a lot about that watching them both in their respective arenas being involved. And you know, they've, they've truly inspired me, not only in my career path, but in how I treat my clients in the arenas that I've become involved in. There's a specific story that I think I've shared with you, Brenda, about my father and how he sort of taught me 06:05 the value of wealth, the value of money, because as his career, that was what he did. He focused mainly on planning for retirement and financially setting yourself up and your family up to have generational wealth and what that looked like and how you could prepare for it when you were 10, 15, 20, 25 years old, preparing for family, preparing for children. 06:35 So when I turned 16, my father went into our QuickBooks. We had a family QuickBooks. Oh, wow. That was before it was actually. It was probably a hard disk, right? Not even on the internet. Oh, yeah. It was like a hard disk. had a full set up, massive computers, the whole thing, in our family office. And he went into his QuickBooks. And he took. 07:03 what he spent on me in a year. And he divided it by 12. And this included insurance. Mind you, I just turned 16. So my car insurance, my car lease, medical, entertainment, my tennis lessons, all of these things that were spent on me, what it cost for me to function. Children are expensive, you know. 07:32 I was very expensive because I will tell you that check was large that he cut me every month. And he laid out, these are the things that are monthly expenses for you that you need to pay with this money. And the rest you can use on entertainment, gifts, shopping, which I loved. But I had to learn to balance my checkbook and balance 08:01 this amount of money, because I wasn't able to get any more until the next month. And that really taught me how that money was never something that was readily expendable to me. even if I went to Starbucks and I bought a drink with my father's credit card, he'd ask me for the receipt. He'd want to know where the receipt was, always. 08:28 I was very meticulous in his record keeping which I am now very much meticulous in my record keeping and I enforce with my clients and make sure that record keeping is so important in your business as well. You know and so when I when I graduated high school my father said to me okay the checks are done. And you need to go get a job in college. 08:56 And what I will do is I will subsidize the paycheck that you bring home. So if you bring home $600, I will pay you 50 cents on the dollar for what you bring home, but only up to $300. So I could get a max of $300 every paycheck that he would subsidize. And then that was how I had money to live and to function. my parents, I was lucky enough that my parents would pay for my college. 09:24 in my housing, in my dorms, but it was still really teaching me the value of money. And my father required that a certain portion of those funds get put away in savings and invested. And he would tell me how to do that. And he would guide me. because my father was a financial planner, he would call me like a client and say, listen, 09:53 You're 70 % stocks, 30 % cash. I think you need to swap it. Let's talk about what that means. And of course, I'm like, you're my dad. Just do it. Why are we having this conversation? But it was so valuable because he wanted me to understand what he was doing and why he was doing it and how it really functioned. that I've also taken into how I guide and advise my clients. 10:22 I don't just do for them. understand, I want them to understand how we're doing it, why we're doing it, what the alternatives are and what it means if we do it this way or that way. You know, a lot of my discussions with my clients are about strategy and about structure and so they can make an informed decision. You know, I think that that's extremely important, especially in a family business. Working with your family is tough. So, 10:52 The way that you can make it that much easier is communication and understanding and knowledge. And I try to arm my clients with that. And that's something that my father really taught me. my mother as well, because my father managed our money and my mother would bring it home and hand my father a check and be like, here, I don't know what you do with it, but do something with it. 11:21 She also would, he would say, hold on a second. Like, I know you just sold a house and here's your commission check, but let me show you what we do with this and how we create generational wealth and how we invest it and what the best benefit for these funds are and how to use debt to our advantage. Um, you know, and that's all of these things were such a value add that I 11:51 I obtained understanding about and that I've now turned this value add to my clients and how they run their business. I'm not a financial advisor, I'm not a tax attorney. These are just really sort of general understandings and general guidance points for my clients to go out and have knowledgeable conversations with the appropriate 12:21 guidance, appropriate people, and the appropriate service providers that are going to help them accomplish those things. really, this is very loaded, but I really like the methods your father used. very, well, first of all, intentional and bespoke. And that's really, and he did communicate to your mother, right? To instill also in her an understanding 12:52 of although she's bringing the check home because many, many women business owners today oftentimes do not own a majority of their companies. Right. And that is a shocking statistic that I run into time and time again that women actually don't know how much equity they have in their own business. Right. So just the informing and, and you've translated that bespoke, you know, communicating 13:22 helping your clients understand, pardon me, and providing options as well as access to other professional service providers as your own bespoke offering to your clients. But it wasn't always like, yeah, go. That's sort of the benefit of the group that you and I met in and all of the networking opportunities that I've been involved in. Of course, networking is about building 13:51 um, your brand and your book and, um, but a majority of it and the real value there is meeting and learning and understanding, um, and really coming to know people that can help your clients where you can't, um, and having trustworthy referral sources to do that, because I'm not just going to tell my client, Oh, 14:18 this individual can help you with wealth management, call them without knowing how this person functions, without knowing how they run their clientele, how they do business. Those are really important things and to have trustworthy referral sources is really important. And that's sort of what our group is all about. That's right. And it wasn't always like this. 14:46 Right, you graduated from law school and started with a small, it was a, I think a female-led law firm. all female attorneys. Yeah, so what was your, this is right out of college, what were you doing and what then informed your decision at a very tender age to leave? So right out of law school, 15:17 had worked my way through law school. I worked in family law for about five or six years. during the day, I was at a law firm. And in the evening, I took classes from 5 to 10 PM, four days a week for four years. took me four years to get through law school. And when I graduated, unfortunately, I wasn't afforded 15:47 All of the opportunities in law school that most law students take advantage of, externships, fellowships, things like that, because I was working my way through. I had already been financially independent and I wanted to stay that way. So I didn't want to quit my job to go to school. I wanted to be able to do it all. 16:15 So as a result, I really didn't have the summer clerkships that turn into job offers. And I was a little lost because I had taken the bar exam and I was like, OK, I'm not an attorney yet. But in three months, if I pass the bar exam, I could be. Am I applying for law clerk positions? Am I applying for associate positions? Like, know, I was so lost. And I went on Craigslist. Oh my goodness. 16:44 And I found law firms that were hiring because I figured those people, you know, they're they're looking to hire somebody now, which is what I'm looking for. and hopefully those people, you know, will transition me into an associate role. If I pass the bar exam in a few months. And that was that was like my first sort of in. And I joined a very boutique law firm in West Hollywood. It was 17:13 By the time I left, we were three female attorneys. were all female for my entire tenure there. I was there for six and a half years. And it was in late 2019, early 2020 that I really decided I wanted more for my career and for my book of business. And I wanted to be able to provide my clients with a well-rounded 17:43 advice and guidance. I can't do it all, nor should I. I'm pretty sure my malpractice of insurance wouldn't like that. Not at all. But more and more, had clients that were asking me to help with litigation matters or employment matters. And those are arenas that I know just enough about to be dangerous. But I'm not going to run a full litigation. 18:13 I can't willfully and knowledgeably advise on employment matters. You know, especially to do justice by my client, do well by them. I'd like to be able to have somebody for them that they can speak to and trust and get the advice and counsel that they need. And that really stemmed my yearning to branch out. 18:42 and go to a firm where I had all of those resources at my fingertips. I wanted more for my career, but my biggest drive was I wanted more for my clients. I wanted really to be able to provide them with well-rounded, multidisciplinary counsel. And so I sought out full-service law firms. 19:11 I found my home at Greenberg Gloucester, which is a fantastic place to be. I'm very happy there and everybody is so fantastic and everybody is so good at what they do. We've got employment and tax and IP and litigation, environmental, entertainment, you name it. And it's been such a benefit not only to my career, 19:41 to my clients, but I've learned so much. And is it true? How would you characterize the typical clients without revealing, you know, confidential matters? Is it also a firm that's very oriented towards family owned businesses? Would you say that? Yeah, I would. You know, I'm a counsel in the corporate and tax department. 20:08 And you we don't have a ton of institutional clients. A lot of our clients are family owned businesses, mostly held entities, you know, which I love on a daily basis. I am working with two sisters that own a business together or a multi-generational company where, you know, senior is working with G2 and G3 or 20:37 were actually this morning I was working on assigning interests and reorganizing and restructuring a bunch of entities that own a bunch of real estate for clients. And that's also the kind of benefit that I get that I get to be pulled into real estate matters with my corporate expertise to help a family office restructure their ownership. 21:04 You know, and I love that stuff. We're extremely, the way that Greenberg provides advice and counsel is on a very personal level. The way that the firm and myself, especially, we're a lifestyle firm. You know, we understand that attorneys are people outside of 21:33 the walls of the office and that we all have lives. And we, you know, I translate that to my clients. My clients have lives. My clients have other things going on than their business. And especially when you deal with family offices and family businesses, there's a whole different dynamic of family interaction. Yes. You know, and, and I have now experienced that not only with my clients and sometimes I become 22:03 therapist in that regard, although I'm a very expensive therapist. I'm sure there people that are less per hour. But I'm experiencing it firsthand because my husband has his own business with his brother and I have become advice and counsel for them as well. And so I'm seeing it sort of from a different angle too, but I think that my clients truly appreciate 22:32 that when I talk to them, I talk to them as a person. It's not just as a business owner. It's not just as I'm guiding you with this legal advice. It has to make sense. And it has to be actually applicable. And sometimes what my advice and guidance would be in sort of this like legal box is not the best. 23:00 for my client and how their business is operating. And you've got to be sort of fluid with that. And bespoke. Yeah, so it's really beyond, it's not a transactional relationship. It is a trustworthy relationship based on the values of the family businesses that and their goals in preserving wealth or continuing to generate family wealth. Yeah, absolutely. This is a great segue because you know, I also 23:29 passionate and have often guests that are sitting on corporate boards. As counsel, have you observed any best practices and family governance structure? You talk about G1, G2, G3, Have you observed any best practices? We don't have to talk about bad practices, right? But any best practices that you would like to share here? Yeah, you know, I think that I've observed that 23:59 Some of the most effective family governance structures prioritize clear communication, well-defined roles, professionalized decision-making. I use this in a very loose sense of the word, but you could establish a family constitution. Creating a board of advisors is always really important. 24:28 having independent members in your board of advisors is so incredibly valuable to have a knowledgeable, independent person that can help through disputes. business disputes are one thing, but when you include a family dynamic in these disputes, emotions can get high and heated. And so having an independent third board 24:57 Third party board is extremely valuable. Somebody that can guide you, something that your family trusts. Those are some big things that I've seen as best practices. And I think that lastly, holding dedicated, regular meetings. 25:23 You'll talk about business, you know, at the dinner table or, you know, out and about you're at a kid, one of your niece's birthday parties and everyone's there and you're like, Hey, did you see that email from XYZ? We got to figure out how to handle that. But those are not the time and place and you're not going to have a productive conversation. And so you need to set aside and create boundaries between your family life and your business life and set aside regular times. 25:53 weekly, bi-weekly, to have an hour conversation about what's going on, any disputes that need to be discussed, any decisions that need to be made. And that's your time to solely be in your business mode. Because having these conversation piece meals, dinner on a Saturday night, or a family's birthday party, or a holiday party, 26:22 It's not effective for your business. And one of the biggest, best practices and the most, one of the most important goals is to preserve your family relationships. Beautiful. You heard it here on the founder's sandbox to preserve family. Absolutely. Cause if you don't have family, do you have? That's right. 26:52 Family first. really important. It's really important. And sometimes business can get in the middle of family relationships. And it hurts to see that. It hurts to see business tear between brothers, tear between father and son. And I've seen those things in it. There needs to be just a second to breathe. Yes. 27:21 and realize that there are bigger things than business and that they need to be resolved, but they can only be resolved if you have a good relationship with your business partner slash your family. They're your biggest support. 27:37 This has been immensely actionable in terms of governance, the best practice you've seen in family offices. So thank you. Thank you for that. It's not often that I do have a lawyer that works in this arena. Although family businesses just in the LA ecosystem is 28:05 It's very predominant. very, very, you know, third, actually third and fourth generation now. So very relevant to your business and mine. Let's switch gears. You are, I believe, sitting on the board of directors or one of the committees of the Association of Corporate Growth. Yes. And tell us a bit what why what is the Association of Corporate Growth and what committees do you serve on? 28:35 And how do you further your business there? Thank you. The Association of Corporate Growth or ACG is a national organization for professionals in the M &A sphere. So you've got members that are VCs, investment bankers, M &A attorneys, wealth managers, insurance specialists. You sort of name it. Anybody that's 29:03 has some sort of involvement in the purchase or sale of a business or just surround sort of just general business governance that either prepare for an exit. You know, those are the kind of people that are members of ACG. And I got involved a few years ago. And I think three years now, I've been sitting on the Women's Committee, which is a 29:31 Fantastic. We schedule and create women-focused programming within the confines of the ACG organization and really promote networking amongst women. More and more, I have had clients that have requested that they only work with women. 29:58 You know, and this sort of goes back to what I was talking about earlier about being able to provide trustworthy referrals. And I've met some incredible, incredible women in connection with ACJ. In fact, our group kind of came out of ACJ. This is how I met you, Brenda. And so it's been a fantastic, fantastic network to be a part of. You know, I love planning the programming, our programming. 30:28 ranges everywhere from talking about the state of the market to balancing family and career and what that looks like and mental health. I think I hate calling out a distinction that we are women in business because I think a 30:57 A business person is a business person. I don't think it needs to be defined as such, but there is something to be said about the fact that women have a different set of challenges in the workplace than men do. And a lot of those stem from family life. And that needs to be balanced. And so there's a lot of programming that the women's committee puts on that sort of 31:26 talks about that and gears us in that direction and gives us tools to be successful and to strive in the face of everything else that women just have to deal with and take care of. That's for another episode here. Yes, very much so. Very much so, yes, as we all have balanced our careers and family priorities, right? 31:56 Let's switch gears. How do my listeners contact you? How's the best way? Well, so I'm at again, I'm at Greenberg Gloucester. We're in Century City. They can email me. It's a Steinberg at gg firm.com. And on our Greenberg Gloucester website, if you search people, I've got my whole bio and all of my contact information as well. Excellent. 32:25 Well, that will appear in the show notes. All right. So we're coming into the final part of this podcast in which I actually enjoy asking my guests what the meaning is of certain terms that I actually practice with my clients. I'm working with purpose-driven companies, resilience. We work on resilience tactics and scalable business is sustainable. So I always love the opportunity to hear 32:55 firsthand from my guess. What does purpose-driven mean to you, Purpose-driven means a mission that goes beyond profit. It taps into creating meaningful value for your customers, for your employees, for the community that you operate in. It's sort of about building a company that 33:25 that stands for something. And I'm very pleased to say that we have seen so many more companies start out of a purpose-driven goal. There's a bunch of old companies and new companies. There's a lot of companies that have this sort of one-for-one model. You buy one, we donate one. 33:52 There are socks companies, there are eyeglass companies, there are shoe companies, there are cleaning product companies that sort of have this as their motto. And then you see additionally, know, products and companies that are committed to the environment or sustainability and cleanup efforts. You know, that's really what purpose-driven 34:21 means to me is that these companies have a goal. They want to accomplish something more than what they can show on their balance sheet. consumers of that product are helping them achieve that. Excellent. Excellent. You've touched on even other aspects like sustainable growth, right? Yeah. Right. What is resilience? You've been particularly resilient. 34:49 You having a father like your father, building life skills early. would resilience, what's the meaning to you? 35:00 Resilience is about navigating challenges with adaptability and with determination. It's about learning from your setbacks instead of being defined by them, having them be a fire to your growth and having them be the galvanization of your progress forward. 35:30 You know, and in business, it also can be about the ability to pivot while staying aligned with your long-term goals, about the ability to, you know, okay, there's a new regulatory, new regulation that's gonna affect the way we operate. Okay, how are we gonna pivot to continue doing what we do, but still can stay in compliance? You know, that's really, 35:59 what it's all beyond your toes. Excellent. And you're scalable. I'd like you to kind of share the meaning within the context of scaling the legal practice. What have you found to be particularly challenging or easy to do? Right. And scaling, right. Because it's a very bespoke practice. Is there any important, right? Scaling is absolutely important. Okay. 36:28 In my practice and in my business, number one goal and the biggest galvanization point of scaling my practice are my clients, my current clients. If you do a good job for them, they'll continue to come back. 36:59 and they'll continue to give you more business. Creating a network. I watched my parents in their, both of their practices. All of our family friends at this point have at one point or another been a client of my mother's or of my father's. They've swapped clients, referred to each other. And these individuals either started as friends and became clients. 37:29 or became friends because they were clients. And that is the way that both of my parents have built their practice and their brands. And that's how I want to do it too. It's a value add when, attorneys are scary to begin with. Nobody wants to talk to an attorney. It's expensive. Half the time you have no idea what they're talking about. It's language. 37:57 You know, but if you create this relationship of trust and of loyalty and friendship and when you feel like your attorney sees beyond just you as a dollar figure or you as a business, it goes such a long way. And that's my main value add to my clients. And in turn, they help me scale. 38:22 my business, clients continue to come back to me and I'm able to continue to grow that because I can satisfy all of their needs with the network that I'm creating through places like ACG. You know, so that's, that's what I see is as scalable in my industry. It's extremely important. And it goes to the heart of how I practice law and how, how I guide and advise my clients. Beautiful. 38:52 Thank you. heard it here on the Founder's Sandbox. Last question, Alexa. Did you have fun in the sandbox today? Oh, it was so fun. Brenda, thank you so much for having me.

Francis Scarcella - Miranda Barbour: Inside the Mind of a Teenage KillerJan 11, 2024The Satan worshiping teen charged with murdering a 42-year-old man she lured through Craigslist claims two other men responded to her ad but failed to show up.Miranda Barbour, 19, and her husband, Elytte Barbour, 22, are accused of stabbing and strangling Troy LaFerrara in Pennsylvania, after he responded to her ad for 'female companionship' in November.However Barbour now claims that two other unidentified men narrowly escaped death by failing to keep their appointments.'I tried it a few times but it never worked out,' Barbour told The Daily Item in her second jailhouse interview in six weeks.'I knew we (Elytte Barbour) were going to do this since the day we met, and we tried, but the others just didn't show up.'Barbour claimed in her first jailhouse interview on February 14 that she killed at least 22 other people over six years in a cross-country murder spree motivated by her satanic cult beliefs.During her second jailhouse interview at the State Correctional Institution in Muncy, a maximum security women's prison, Barbour repeated her claims and said the FBI have not questioned her.She said she was prepared to show authorities where she hid the bodies.'I said before I would talk to them (FBI) about all of this, but they never came to see me,' she told The Daily Item.'They are looking for full bodies. They won't find any. But they will find body parts.'The Daily Item reported that local investigators in three murder locations named by Barbour are taking the claims seriously, but said they have no unresolved homicides they know about.Barbour said she dumped some body parts in Big Lake, Alaska, and also in Mexico Beach, Florida where she worked as a 15-year-old go-go dancer.She also said she dumped a body off Interstate 95 near Raleigh, North Carolina.Barbour lived in Alaska, Florida and North Carolina before moving to Selinsgrove last fall with her husband.Sunbury police say the couple murdered LaFerrara the day of their three-week wedding anniversary and Elyette Babour's 22nd birthday.Elytte Barbour had allegedly told police he and his wife wanted to kill together.In her sensational first jailhouse interview in February, Barbour claimed she killed 22 people in the past six years in Alaska, Texas, North Carolina and California.Explaining that she adopted a murderous alter ego she dubbed 'Super Miranda' when she killed, Barbour said that she kept a favorite knife that had notches on - one for each of her victims.Speaking to TMZ about the horrifying admission from Barbour, Daily Item reporter, Francis Scarella said that he omitted the frightening and unsubstantiated number from his story.However, he confirmed that like the fictitious serial killer Dexter, Barbour said she only killed bad people - those who abused children or owed money and that her satanism controlled her murderous rages.Indeed, Scarella told TMZ he spoke with an ex-roomate of Barbour's who said that the abused teen possessed two vials of semen belonging to her husband and that she used them to masturbate in a satanic ritual.Claiming that she only killed 'bad people who do bad things' in her self-confessed nationwide murder-spree, Barbour has been compared to the fictitious 'moral' serial killer played by Michael C. Hall on the Showtime cable network.Amid these gruesome claims, the tiny Alaskan town of North Pole has become the center of the outlandish story about satanism and serial killers that Barbour claims began at the behest of a cult leader.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.

She talks about the challenges and benefits of running a remote agency, how she finds talent suited for remote work, and how implementing EOS in her agency operations improved her business' structure, communications, and employees accountability. In this episode, we'll discuss: How EOS gives structure and accountability. The traits she looks for when hiring remote talent How she keeps team culture strong with in-person retreats Why remote work isn't “easier”—but can be better with the right systems.

A Pivot Fueled by Adversity Lisa began her professional journey as a developer, then transitioned to freelance consulting. Seeing she had a knack for explaining technical processes, she took some writing courses and expanded her abilities into content writing. Lisa's freelance work soon attracted several major tech companies. The growing demand for her services prompted her to hire her first intern through Craigslist, initially viewing this expansion as an extension of her freelance business. However, when her husband fell seriously ill, Lisa's need to provide financial stability for her family motivated her to formalize and grow her operation into a proper agency. What had started as individual consulting work had evolved into a full-fledged business born of both opportunity and necessity. Why Lisa's Agency Thrives Remotely—And How Yours Can Too Since founding her agency, Lisa has maintained a primarily remote operation. She did try to run the team from an office a little before Covid restrictions came to send everyone home again, but was finding it tedious, with common complaints about people's choice of food or annoying habits. It seemed as though petty distractions disappeared once they returned to remote work. As the owner of a remote agency, Lisa admits this modality isn't easier—it's just a different kind of hard. To truly succeed, agency owners who want a remote team must take care to carefully choose people suited for this type of work. Some people really do need the presence of someone keeping them accountable. These people find that on-site work provides them a sense of structure and that the interaction with teammates helps improve their performance. Lisa looks for workers who are able to self-manage and are results-oriented. Her team always has access to managers through Slack, of course, but they mostly prefer to manage their work and their time to better fit their lifestyles. Remote teams can leverage technology to enhance collaboration and communication, using tools like video conferencing, project management software, and instant messaging platforms allow team members to work together seamlessly, regardless of their geographical location. Assessing Candidates' Adaptability to Remote Work Not everyone is suited for remote work, so after assessing a candidate's suitability for the role based on their skills and experience, Lisa also looks to identify whether or not they are suited to work in this modality. If you have struggled finding workers who thrive in a remote setting, try to use assessments and structured interview questions to gauge a candidate's suitability. For instance, asking about their strategies for maintaining accountability can reveal much about their potential success in a remote setting. Furthermore, candidates who have previously navigated remote roles often have the skills and mindset necessary to thrive in similar environments. This experience can translate into a more seamless integration into a remote team, as these individuals are likely already familiar with the challenges and best practices associated with this working style. How EOS Can Transform Your Remote Agency Operations The Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS) has helped many agencies create the sense of structure that some remote teams may be missing. In it, every worker has their goals, so they know what they're working towards, as well the agency's goals for the quarter, so everyone can grow in the same direction. It wasn't immediately easy or intuitive for Lisa to implement EOS into her agency processes. She read the book and tried to self-implement it unsuccessfully. It wasn't until she was introduced to an implementer who could help her with the process and keep her accountable that she felt she was on the right path with this system. With expert guidance, structured meetings became the cornerstone of Lisa's agency operations. These non-negotiable, regularly scheduled sessions ensure team alignment and individual accountability. Using Ninety software, Lisa's team conducts highly organized meetings with clear agendas and built-in timers that keep discussions focused on measurable outcomes and actionable tasks. This systematic approach eliminates wasted time while fostering a culture where team members understand their specific responsibilities. This framework helps Lisa establish high-level objectives aligned with her agency's vision, then break these down into manageable steps by working backward from desired outcomes. For instance, if an agency aims to achieve $20 million in top-line revenue and $10 million in net profit, how does this cascade down to individual team members? This clear linkage between daily activities and long-term objectives helps create a culture of accountability and proactive engagement. Structuring Professional Growth in Remote Agencies Part of the changes introduced with the use of EOS was establishing clear pathways for employee growth, something that employees themselves asked for. While tenure still influences senior positions, the agency's COO developed a three-stage framework that provides visual clarity for professional development. Seed: Your ground-level tasks for any particular role. Blossom: Demonstrating confident competence and Independence in that role. Bloom: Preparing for advancement to the next position. Interestingly, this framework is not necessarily linear recognizing that personal circumstances may cause employees to move between stages. If an employee shifts from "Blossom" back to "Seed," management initiates supportive conversations to discuss their situation and explore potential paths forward based on the employee's choices. This is an important initiative that all agency owners hoping to scale their agency should consider as it forces you to think about ways to scale your team and locate the leaders that will help take the pressure off you as you start to delegate responsibility to them. Furthermore, you'll be taking action to help your team take ownership of their roles, thus increasing retention as you motivate individuals who could get frustrated if they don't see growth opportunities. How In-Person Retreats Build Camaraderie in a Distributed Workforce Running a remote agency takes a lot of organization, structure, and also an appreciation for in-person connection. Lisa understands that while tech keeps teams connected, it can't replace the depth of real, in-person connection.. Hence, to encourage team bonding, she organizes a team retreat, that most recently took the team to Puerto Rico, for a few days of team building activities, but mostly to just be together in the same space. This is a great lesson for agency owners who want to run a remote agency. Building camaraderie through in-person connections will also have practical implications for agency growth. In-person retreats and gatherings can serve as platforms for discussing career aspirations, setting goals, and mapping out pathways for professional growth, as well as fostering stronger relationships, enhanced communication, and a more cohesive work environment.

He and Dan lament cable news' tired playbook, discuss Craigslist's indirect role in electing Donald Trump, and question whether broadcast news may be in the early stages of a kleptocracy. Then, turning to the Democratic Party, Chuck and Dan debate which fights Democrats should focus on, what voters will want from the party in 2028, and whether the right is exploiting President Biden's decline to undermine the left's faith in journalism.
