THE SPLENDID BOHEMIANS PRESENT "DOUBLE TROUBLE." THE VIRTUES OF CYNICISM AS DEMONSTRATED BY MARSHALL CRENSHAW AND THE ORLONS. DOUBLE DOWN!!

Today we live in a cynical world. It's pervasive, this debilitating disbelief in our institutions, our once assured tenets of groundedness. Now we doubt, not only what we see, but what we hear, and even our own thoughts. Are they indeed our own? Or, have they been shaped by the unrelenting marketers and influencers? Back in the 80's - even earlier back in the 60's the attitudes of boredom and mistrust seemed exclusively the province of old school Europe, in particular the French, who invented the perfect word for it: Ennui. The great bon vivant, George Sanders, in his suicide note explained that he was leaving his life because he was bored. In the following offerings we celebrate a time when cynics could be appreciated as unique and exotic. CYNICAL GIRL by Marshall Crenshaw proclaims the lure of nihilism in a poppy, irresistible interpretation. And, THEM TERRIBLE BOOTS by the Orlons makes fun of a wannabe fashionista at the crossroads of burgeoning Mod style. MARSHALL CRENSHAWIn Marshall Crenshaw's 1982 eponymous debut album, CYNICAL GIRL chimed out so brightly it was a paused that refreshed. The singer wants a cynical girl who has no use for the real world, and this notion, wrapped in candy colored chords, invited us to embrace the “Debbie Downers” in our lives, and to realize there's something comforting in the dark side. Maybe we could save each other. Crenshaw, the latter-day, second coming of Buddy Holly even portrayed the Proto-Rock God in “La Bamba” and charmed the world with his unapologetic cheeriness. But the euphoria couldn't last. His debut outing achieved his highest chart position, but it was a bracing example of positivity while it lasted. THE ORLONSThis quartet of street-wise, Philly teens made the trsition from middlin' Doo-Wop practitioners to dance craze mega stars with their triple crown of chart toppers: Wah Watusi, Don't Hang Up, and South Street, evolving into one of Cameo-Parkway's hottest acts. THEM TERRIBLE BOOTS from 1962 was the B-side to South Street, and rode that comet's tail into recording history. It's an evocative glimpse into that time when the cultural landscape was in transition from the staid 50s to the super-charged 60s. The aforementioned cynicism is reflected in the mockery to which the dude who is wearing the mod clothes is subjected.  But, he was just probably a bit ahead of his time. When the only male member, (and survivor) of the group, Stephen Caldwell, repeats the title phrase in his basso profundo, the whole salty world view clicks into place.

There are “friends” who destroy each other, but a real friend sticks closer than a brother. (Proverbs 18:24 NLT)   Sociologists tell us that in the first stage of life, we are shaped mostly by our family. In the second stage of life—and for the rest of our lives—we are shaped largely by our friends. Show me your friends, and I'll show you your future. In ways big and small, we become like the people we spend time with. Our friends influence us for better or worse. They either elevate us and motivate us to be our best possible selves, or they take us down with them.   And we do the same for them. Some people bring joy wherever they go. Others bring joy whenever they go. Which one are you? Are you Bobby Buzzkill or Debbie Downer? Are you the one who lights up a room or turns the lights off? Are you the one who builds others up or the one who tears them down?   Proverbs 18:24 distinguishes between destructive “friends” and real friends. But in our lives, it's sometimes hard to tell the difference between friends “who destroy” and friends who stick “closer than a brother.” And if you don't have a lot of friends, it's hard to tell whether a friend who destroys is worse than no friend at all.   The Bible offers several tips for finding godly friends and avoiding ungodly ones. Proverbs 22:24 says, “Don't befriend angry people or associate with hot-tempered people” (NLT). Psalm 1:1–2 says, “Oh, the joys of those who do not follow the advice of the wicked, or stand around with sinners, or join in with mockers. But they delight in the law of the Lord, meditating on it day and night” (NLT).   The best places to find these potential friends are where God's people meet. Worshipping or serving together at church or in a ministry is ideal common ground on which to build a friendship.   If you already have godly friendships, treat them like the treasures they are. Give God thanks for them. Express your gratitude to your friends. Refuse to take them for granted. Respect their time, their opinions, their boundaries, their privacy, and their personal preferences.   Be the godly friend your friends need. Pray for them daily in a meaningful way. Stay informed about their needs and struggles so that you can take each one before God individually. Encourage them with words of comfort, motivation, and wisdom from Scripture. Put genuine effort into your friendship. Give it a place of priority in your life. Do the heavy lifting when necessary. Refuse to allow minor squabbles to grow into something bigger. Be quick to understand and forgive. Keep the lines of communication open.   Be the person who sticks closer than a brother no matter what happens. — Listen to the Greg Laurie Podcast Become a Harvest PartnerSupport the show: https://harvest.org/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

If you're human, there's a high liklihood that you've experienced pain and suffering in your life. Debbie Downer intro, but it's true! While we can't undo the pain each of us has experienced, what if we could harness that pain and use it for good? That's the call (and opportunity) we each have.

Driving for Your Success with Sheevaun Moran

Hey, everyone, Sheevaun here driving for your success, the heat of summer. And it's getting, it's getting hot with the energy for sure. But think about this, do you tend to be more positive in the way you speak, the way you behave, the way you plan, et cetera? Or are you having the tendency to be, um, more of like a Debbie Downer or, uh, something like that? Those two energies often sit with inside of us as one individual. And so if you tend more toward the positive, when things get a little wonky, you might find that you're actually canceling out the good with the less good. And rather than saying negative, it's more like less good. So I really believe that I can da, da, da, da, but the problem with that is I don't see how, and the numbers aren't gonna work out for me, and the, and the team isn't gonna work out for me and such like that. And so that's a positive and a negative inside of one being. And you could say that that's thoughts, but that's actually words. Those are words, and that's a way of being, and that's a behavior that is bubbling up from inside. And so you want to look at which one of those you're doing. If you have a tendency to be more positive, then great, let's work on not canceling out all of the positives so you can actually achieve the result with that you want, even though in the face of everything and the way you see everything is, it may not be what looks like is possible. So when businesses look at KPIs, um, you're gonna find that maybe they don't look like they're gonna play out, but that just means that there's opportunity. And where is the opportunity sitting? Um, I built a, uh, a multimillion dollar food company and I built it from the idea of where's the opportunity sitting, because we built it at a time that it was one of the most difficult times to build something like that. And so I got everybody to look at where is the opportunity. We found so many opportunities we could hardly keep up with them. And then, uh, the other part of it is, if you tend to be more negative, then start writing down your negativity and write down the opposite. The 180 opposite of that negativity, the opposite of the negativity is probably ludicrous in your mind, but if you don't give yourself a way forward, you're going to be depressed. You're going to find the negative and the negative will prove out better. So it doesn't take much more positive energy, meaning upward, uplifting, resilient, excited, enthusiastic, uh, Kind of energy in order to bring things forward. Now, I will say this, after having taught thousands of people to deal with their energy, if your entire energy field, meaning your windshield outside of you, your energy field is filled with poopy thoughts, it's gonna take a lot more of positive thoughts in order to achieve a goal. So what is it that you can do today to bring that upbeat, upward, uplifting, and forward momentum, energy, and things are looking up in my favor, things like that. Um, I feel fantastic. You know, screaming at the top of your lungs is going to release toxic old stuck energy because rarely, rarely do we scream at the top of our lungs and work to get that stuff outside of ourselves. We keep it inside our heads. We keep it imp prison inside of our mouths, and we keep it imprisoned inside of our stomachs. And no wonder we have mouth issues and health issues and stress issues. So the topic for today is where are you on the energy spectrum? My name's Shavonne Moran. Go to sheevaunmoran.com. S-H-E-E-V-A-U-N-M-O-R-A n.com.

Today, I'm here to close the loop on something I've promised to discuss. For those of you who have been following along, you know I've been going through some stuff lately, and I said I'd come back to talk about it. So here I am, ready to share why it's okay not to be okay and why we need to normalize it. When I was going through my rough patch, it was shocking how often people would ask how I was doing, and I'd automatically respond with, “I'm great, how are you?” even when I wasn't. It felt so inauthentic, and that's why I think we need to talk about it, not as a Debbie Downer, but to be honest and authentic and create genuine connections. It's essential to recognize that it's okay not to be okay. We all need help at some point, yet we often say we're fine when we're not. Over the past 12 weeks, I kept telling people I was fine when I wasn't, and it felt like a narrator in my head said, “She was not indeed fine.” every time I said those words, “I'm okay”. No one wants to dump their problems on a casual acquaintance, but with close ones, we should be truthful. It's important to admit when we're struggling, both to ourselves and to our loved ones. By pretending to be okay, we miss opportunities for genuine connection and support. When we say we're fine when we're not, we shame ourselves unnecessarily. I learned that lesson the hard way, feeling like I had always to be great. I wasn't being authentic, and it took a toll on me. It's essential to be honest and seek help when needed. Podsters, let's normalize not being okay. If someone asks how you are, be honest. You don't have to explain everything, but you can say, “I've been better.” Let's be real with ourselves and each other. It's okay not to be okay; acknowledging that is a step towards healing.

I'd much rather be around people that failed gloriously than the people that do the worksheets and fill in the fill in between the lines and they just live a safe, dull life. That's not what life's about. Life is meant to take risks.Lesley Logan 0:18  Welcome to the Be It Till You See It podcast where we talk about taking messy action, knowing that perfect is boring. I'm Lesley Logan, Pilates instructor and fitness business coach. I've trained thousands of people around the world and the number one thing I see stopping people from achieving anything is self-doubt. My friends, action brings clarity and it's the antidote to fear. Each week, my guest will bring bold, executable, intrinsic and targeted steps that you can use to put yourself first and Be It Till You See It. It's a practice, not a perfect. Let's get started.  Lesley Logan 1:00  All right, Be It Babe. Welcome back to the Be It Till You See It podcast. I have a great interview for you today. First of all, do you know that the reason why I call it Be It Till You See It is like you're acting as if you are the person you want to be already. And a lot of times we wait till we have the thing to be the thing. So you be the thing. And then you'll actually do the things that that person that your version of that person would have if they were already there, and then you'll have the thing. So be, do, have. Be it till you see it. Anyways, that's my little lesson for you. Because what's about to happen is you'll get a lot of amazing lessons. So my guest today is Danny Brassel. You're in here he's doing four frickin phenomenal things. I don't know how he's doing all four of them, but he's doing them and it's really cool. For my parents listening, there's some great things in here for your kiddos. For my nan and parents. Hi, I see you. I got so much out of this and I don't even have kids. So do not skip to the next one. This is absolutely what you want to listen to and really like, I hope you take any one of the action steps that he gives throughout and then also the one at the end. We've never heard it before. And I bet you you're going to use it starting today. So please let us know if you do make sure you reach out to Danny, reach out to the Be It Pod and let us know what your favorite takeaways are. Here is Danny. Lesley Logan 2:26  All right, Be It babe. I am so excited to chat with our guest today. Danny Brassel. He is here to rock your world for sure. I read his bio, the Jim Carrey, huh? I was like, oh my God, I had to talk to this man. So Danny, will you tell everyone who you are and what you rock at and maybe why they maybe assert Jim Carrey towards you and about what you do?Danny Brassell 2:48  Well, first of all, thank you so much for having me, Lesley, we need a lot more of you in the world, you're spreading joy and I appreciate that. We need you. My mission is to bring joy back into education in the workplace. And I do that in four different ways. First of all, I speak about 100 dates a year all around the world, primarily to schools and parent groups, but also to corporations reminding them take your job seriously. But don't take yourself too seriously. Because you ain't all that and neither am I. And if you think you're all that teach kindergarten for a week, they'll set you straight. Secondly, I've got the world's top reading engagement program for parents, which in just over two months shows parents how to get their kids to read more, read better, and most importantly, to love reading. I mean, I find that schools do an adequate job of teaching kids how to read. But the question I always ask people is what good is it teaching a kid how to read if they never want to read? I teach kids why to read because I've never had to tell a kid go watch TV. I've never had to tell a kid go play a video game. And I never want to have to tell a kid go read I want them to choose to do it on their own because they love it. Third, I work with entrepreneurs, small business owners and executives on how to create engaging presentations that get their audience to take the next step whether that's to purchase their product or to donate to their cause or even to invest in their ideas. And then fourth and finally, I'm the North American CEO of a company called CyberSmarties which was founded in 2015, in Ireland by a guy named Diarmuid Hudner, which is a social media platform for kids ages five to 12 and teaches kids how to use social media in a positive way. So the way it works is if you were to type in, Danny, I think you're fat and ugly. It wouldn't let you send the message instead says that's not nice thing to say to Danny. And our studies show that within three days, it frustrates kids so much that they can't send their message that they stopped sending negative messages altogether. And the programs basically completely eliminated cyber bullying in Ireland. Now it's in New Zealand, India, Turkey. I'm in charge of getting it here in North America. So all of these are all mission-oriented though. You know, I think life is too short. And we all have to smile a lot more. And so I listen to your podcast.Lesley Logan 2:48  Oh my God. Okay, so many amazing things I love. I love that you shared all of that, because I hope everyone heard like you can be multifaceted, and they don't all have to have the same facet. It's like, I would never have guessed the fourth one at all. And I know that all of the parents listening are like, how do we? Who do we need to call in our Congress? We'll put the Congress phone number in the shownotes, guys, I've got it memorized because it's on a sweatshirt. We have, who do we need to call to get that in because my goodness, even as an adult, I've been bullied online. So like, I can't even imagine what it's like for the kiddos. My first thing I have to ask you is, you know, so many people would have so many great ideas and then they don't know how to take that first next step, you do four incredibly humongous things that are mission-driven, and making massive impact. How did you, I guess the first one would be the hardest one but like, how did you make the steps because I'm sure people told you, Danny, you can't do all those things, you can't speak 100 dates a year and fix bullying and get kids to read like, I feel like that's a lot. So how are you able to make that happen with with all the obstacles that are out there? Danny Brassell 6:10  Well, I have OCD I have I mean, and I, ADHD and every other type of acronym, an abbreviation you want to give. Really, what I want everybody to know is that in order to do anything, you have to screw up a lot. And me when I work with, I was working with an entrepreneur the other day, and we put together what we call his stump speech or how to introduce yourself to new audiences. And I said, you got to practice, you got to go on tomorrow and deliver the speech he's like, but it's gonna stink, I'm like, exactly. And the day after that, I want you to give this speech and it's gonna stink, but it's going to stink a little bit less than the first time you did it. And by the 20th time, you'll start feeling comfortable, and you'll you'll start to get the hang of it. But most of us we fear things because we've never done them. And that's what all of this audience has to embrace is we got to get comfortable being uncomfortable. And there's always going to be it's amazing how many people are experts about things, they have no idea about. They've never traveled the world and yet, they're like, oh, you can't go there it's dangerous, and they've never started a business and oh, you can't do that you'll you're you're gonna do that everybody's an expert, but they haven't done anything. And so I gravitate towards people that are actually doing things I'd much rather be around people that failed gloriously than the people that do the worksheets and fill in the fill in between the lines, they just live a safe, dull life. That's not what life's about life is meant to take risks.Lesley Logan 7:39  Oh my gosh, it's like you've heard the intro to this podcast, we always take messy action, do it scare like, it's it is interesting, you know, I feel like people are people been raised to get the A, right? Like you talked about schools, and my mom's a teacher and she's listening. Hi, Mom, you do great work. My trainer is also a teacher for kindergarteners. That well not really does humble you. And so there's obviously they there's amazing people in the educational world. But there's this there at some point, you get to a point where like, we have to get the A's because the grades only matter because then you don't get to the next step. And like your whole life will be ruined if you don't get this. So then we become these perfectionist, because that's the only thing that matters. And it's like we don't take that risk. I feel like little kids take more risks than adults do.Danny Brassell 8:28  You're absolutely right. That's why I love being around kids is you know, I'll ask adults, what's two plus two and I get complete silence. I can ask little kids, what's two plus two, and they'll raise their hands to be like four, seven, I got a dog. And I love that, you know, they just play with things. It's really it takes until about third grade, where the kids are just like that adult audience. They're completely quiet. They stay in their seat because school taught them not to take risk. And it breaks my heart all the time. We need to encourage you know, I read biographies of successful people Lesley, all the time and there's one common element most successful people in these biographies have, most of them dropped out of school. And as an educator that appalls me, I'm like, what are we doing wrong? How do we make sure to nurture those passions inside of those kids? And you know, I'm still growing and learning all the time. And that's, that's, again, people listen to, I'm speaking to the wrong people right now. These are the people that want to actually improve themselves. But that's what you do is you constantly challenge yourself to get better, because every day you're not learning you're slowly dying.Lesley Logan 9:38  Yeah. Yeah, I am, I agree. And I think well, first of all, every single person listening to this, you know, they're seekers, but that's because there's people around them that can't give that like we're almost being the friend in their ear because the front in their actual ear is telling them you can't do that. You couldn't do three different jobs. You have kids, you have the how do we tell you all your stuff to do and it's like they need us in their ears to remind them that they're capable and it's going to be amazing. And it's going to suck the first 20 times. It's okay. Go listen to this podcast, the first 20 episodes, guys, take a listen. I'm sure it was fine. And I'm grateful for my amazing friends. But you get better over time we're, when this episode comes out, we'll have over 300 episodes out. So like, you just get better. Danny Brassell 10:21  Wow, congratulations, Lesley. That's wonderful.Lesley Logan 10:23  I know it's kind of insane that how fast that happens. But you just you get better. And you get you're less nervous when you talk to a stranger. Like, there's just so many things, you just have to get started. So yes, we are speaking, you maybe are speaking to the wrong audience. But I think maybe we're just reminding the people that they can do it and they don't have to be perfect at it. Danny Brassell 10:42  Well, at least we're speaking to an audience of people that are going gonna go out and do something, which is important. Lesley Logan 10:46  Yeah, yeah. No, it's so hard. I mean, like, I've talked about this on that, on the pod before but like, I've talked to, I called my grandpa, I'm like, hey, Grandpa, how you doing? It's like, well, I'm waiting to die. And it's like, awesome. Cool. And then I go, well, I'm gonna go to Cambodia, he's like, you should be really safe. Like, that's very dangerous there. And I'm like, so I've been seven times, we're doing great, like, feel safer than here. Just gonna say it.Danny Brassell 11:12  Yeah. You know, that's an important point you just made, Lesley, you need to surround yourself with positives. I mean, I was watching a show on television the other day it was horrible. It was called the news. And it totally depressed me. It showed all these horrible things happening. And one of the things I learned from my life, my wife, I don't even know if she knows who the president of the United States is, she has no time for that. She watches I Love Lucy and Friends and she's a much better person for it. I mean, I used to volunteer for the Special Olympics. If you ever feel down, you need to volunteer for the Special Olympics, those individuals are some of the most extraordinary people, I just think that they have a secret that the rest of us don't realize, which is life is to be lived and to be celebrated every day. Lesley Logan 11:59  Yeah. Yes, I agree to that. I mean, I mean, please also volunteer at your local dog shelter and you'll see that dogs don't judge you. They have no, they don't care if you're perfect and all those things, and it'll uplift your spirits. But that's really funny. Yeah, I know, the the news is the news is designed to make us scared to make us fearful and for us just to sit there for them to put up another ad in front of your face. Also, just so you know, that's what they're, that's why they do the clicky headlines and they repeat themselves all the time. It's so hard because there's FOMO I need to I don't want to miss out and you know this information and it's true, we do have to, there's got to be a balance there which is so hard to do. So I feel for the people who listen, who's like but I have to listen to news, Danny, but also I would like to just watch Friends and then you know, do my thing and stick with my idea. Lesley Logan 12:50  I want to go into something that you talked about helping kids want to read. A lot of our listeners, not children, they want to read even though they're not kiddos, can you, can we dive a little bit into like, what will help because they want to read but it's also like making the time, what should they read? Like, again, they're perfectionist, so then there's the new obstacle of like, well, I want to read but I don't know what to read. How? Do you have any advice for us on that? Danny Brassell 13:20  Absolutely. Well, I was that kid. I grew up hating reading. My father was a librarian. I always hated the library. It always smelled funny to me, the furniture was uncomfortable. There was always some elderly woman telling me to be quiet. There was always a freaky homeless guy hanging out by the shells, thought he was a vampire. I always hated the library. And it wasn't until I started teaching in the inner city in South Central Los Angeles where I saw a lot of my students didn't have a lot of the advantages I had growing up. I mean, I was very blessed Lesley, both of my parents were in the home. We weren't wealthy by any means. But we always had food on the table. And my parents always read in front of us kids, to us kids. And we always had plenty of access to great reading materials. And I basically said shame on me. It's my job to really expose my students to all kinds of ways to love reading. I mean, I was that kid I'll never forget in high school, I was forced to read The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne and no offense to people that love Nathaniel Hawthorne, I mean, I don't want to offend anybody but, basically the story is about Hester Prynne commits adultery, so she's forced to wear an A on her chest. And I raised my hand in class one day and I asked my teacher if I could wear a B on my chest because I was so bored reading that book. I absolutely hated it. And I think that's one of the most important things we have to understand is, you know, it has to be fun, like, make reading fun for you. And the research is very clear on this. It doesn't matter what you read. What matters is how much you read. It doesn't matter if you're reading James Joyce or James and the Giant Peach, people who read more read better. Danny Brassell 15:01  You know, when I got my Ph.D., my wife was looking at me because I had this huge grin on my face. And she's like, why are you so happy and like, because from now on, I pick the books. And I think that's what reading should be. You know, if you want to read, you know, a lot of the people in your audience are entrepreneurs, well, you don't have to read classic literature to be a good entrepreneur, you need to read about other entrepreneurs. What's their journey? You know, I get so many boys interested in reading because I find out what they're interested in. I mean, I use (inaudible) if the kids are talking about NASCAR, get on some NASCAR books, if they're talking about JLo, get a biography on Jennifer Lopez, you know, interest drives reading, and that's something that's going to be sustained all the time. I mean, I, I see things all the time. It's, America's crazy, like we'll say, oh, you know what, you should finish whatever you read. I'm like, well, that's stupid advice. I mean, think of think of reading a book, like eating a piece of food. You try a chapter. Oh, my gosh, that's disgusting. Well, maybe it gets better. Oh, no, it's disgusting. I mean, if you find a book, you don't like put it down. There's over 4 million books written in English last year alone. Some of them are pretty good. Don't waste your time on the lame ones. Danny Brassell 16:12  Here, I'll do something for your audience right now, Lesley, for all those people who have that large book on your bedside table that you started three years ago, I can do this because I'm a Ph.D. I absolve you of that book. Get another one. You know, I like reading. I have one of the top reading clubs online. It's called lazyreaders.com. If you go, it's a free subscription once a month for the rest of your life. I update it with 10 book recommendations, three or four adult level, three or four young adult level, and three or four children's level books all under 250 pages. So you have something to read when you're stuck in a boring meeting or at the doctor's office. You know, when I hear people say, oh, I don't have, I don't have time to read. I'm like, yeah, who has time to read after you watch the game on TV, have a couple of beers, go out shopping? I have a friend that's a time management expert. I always give him a hard time, Lesley, because I say there's no such thing as time management there's only priority management. Harvard did a study, whenever I say research, I would say Harvard did a study. Harvard did a study 100 years ago, they found out that people only had 24 hours in their days. Well, it's how are you using those minutes in your day? So the people that have a hard time getting interested, you know, I'll work with parents and they're trying to figure out how to get their kids into reading. So there's two numbers in my reading program. There's two numbers I have everybody focus on. The first number is 67. So a lot of people say it takes 21 days to change a habit. And to those people I say, show me the research on that it's a completely fabricated number. I know exactly where it comes from. It comes from, what's that?Lesley Logan 17:44  It's 100% fake, it doesn't work and we can talk about it. But I studied with BJ Fogg from Stanford. So you know, the West Coast. And you can actually create a habit in a moment, like you can it's all but an emotion. Your emotion derives things but that's...Danny Brassell 18:00  You can do a lot, yeah, well, so when they did a clinical study so the the number comes from there was a great book written in 1960 by Dr. Maxwell Maltz called Psycho-Cybernetics. I encourage everybody to read the book. But in the preface of the book, Dr. Maltz, who's a plastic surgeon and he flippantly said he noticed it took most of his patients about 21 days to get used to their new faces. Well, a lot of personal development gurus, a lot of people I respect by the way, started telling people it takes 21 days to change a habit, it's completely fabricated. So. Lesley Logan 18:33  It sounds really good.Danny Brassell 18:34  There was a study done by, Harvard did a study in 2009. It was actually University of London, it was a habit formation study and they determined it took anywhere from 18 to 254 days to change a habit and the average was 66 days. Well, I don't like the number 66. So I throw in a bonus day, 67 days to change a habit. And it really depends on the type of habit you're trying to form. So it can be a moment. Like if you want to drink a glass of water before breakfast every day, that might take 18 days to make that into a habit. But if you want to quit smoking, that can take 254 days. And here's why this is important, Lesley, let's say you go on a diet, you follow it religiously for 21 days, but on day 22 you fall off the wagon. Will you blame yourself? Well, research shows it takes three times longer than that to form most habits. So I just think it's very, I have a problem when I hear people throwing out these numbers and everybody, everybody's a little bit different. I was a teacher. I always say different strokes for different folks. Some kids get it in 10 minutes, some kids it takes them till April, but where there's a will there's a way. Danny Brassell 19:40  The other number I want people and this would be good for your audience to know, is, is the number is 20. So researchers were looking at patterns among successful students around the world. And they were looking for what are the characteristics what are the common characteristics they have? They stumble upon something which floored them. It was the number of minutes spent reading outside of school. So they looked at the low kids, the average kids and the high kids. So the first group was the low kids, the kids in the 20th percentile, some of your F students, they average less than a minute a day reading outside of school. Well, that didn't surprise anybody. It's probably why you're at the bottom of your class. But the next number did startle the researchers, the kids in the middle of the class, the 78th percentile, C students, they average 9.6 minutes a day reading outside of school. And so if I'm doing a live training with parents, this is when the room gets really quiet and the first hand raised is in the parents' side that says, wait a sec, are you saying if I can get my kid to read 10 minutes a day, I can take them from an F to a C? That's exactly what I'm saying. There's actually a lot of research to support this. But this next number really floored the researchers, the kids near the top of the class and 90th percentile A minus students. Do they spend three hours a day reading for fun outside of school? No. Do they spend an hour a day outside of school reading for fun? No. The average was just over 20 minutes a day. So my entire program is showing parents how can we find those 20 minutes every single day. And there's two things people have to understand. First of all, the number the minutes don't have to be consecutive. So you can do a minute here, five minutes here, three minutes there. And secondly, being read aloud to is just as good as reading on your own. So I work with a lot of dyslexic students. A lot of people don't realize over half of the Fortune 500 CEOs are dyslexic. Well, dyslexics, they process information really well with their ears. And so now I just say we'll turn on the audiobook, let somebody else read it to you. You don't have to read it. It's just as effective.Lesley Logan 21:43  I'm so excited. Because, first of all, I'm like, oh, so if I read 20 minutes a day, the overachiever in me is like, I'm gonna be an A student. I'm not even in school, but I feel like it's just gonna make me a better person. But also, I hope y'all heard that he said, audiobook works as well. And so like, guys, if you're got a 20-minute commute, instead of listening to your news podcast, you can listen to ours. But you then should listen to a book for 20 minutes. That's such a great thing. I love that. Also, there's this interesting thing. One, if you love to read, read BJ Fogg's Tiny Habits book, you will love it. Two, it's also emotions. So if you are trapped, like, first of all, we can all remember back during the pandemic, when we wore a mask everywhere, every single day, then they took us out a mask for like a week. And they're like, oh, hold on, actually, you said to wear the mask, at the grocery store, how many times you have to go back to the grocery store? Everyday, everyday, because you didn't like wearing the mask. So you never created the habit. So if you don't like the thing, it's not going to stick because the emotions around it are not exciting. So that's why the repetition doesn't work because it has to have an emotional pull that you'd actually like to do. And then second on the like breaking a habit or unwrap a, BJ will say unraveling a habit because habits are prompted by different things. If you are a smoker, there's a prompt that happens, if you eat a snack, if you eat candy at your desk, there's a prompt, you have to remove the prompt you have to figure what that is. And you can't have nothing there because it creates a vacuum. So you actually do have to find so that when those do take harder or if you're if your habit is to like emote, like beat yourself up, like if you're someone who just like, judges yourself has bad thoughts when someone says anything critical type of a thing, those habits are actually the hardest to break because you have to be really good at acknowledging like, oh, I'm doing the thing that I don't want to do. So that's why, that's why the numbers...Danny Brassell 23:40  Make sure you have him listen to this podcast, he'll be so proud of you. You're a great student, you learned a lot, you know.Lesley Logan 23:45  I know, BJ will love it.Danny Brassell 23:49  The other thing is Habit Stacking. So for example, like, I was watching too much TV, and I wasn't working out enough. And so now when I go on the bike, I, you know, I'm watching, I'm almost done. I've never watched The Sopranos when it came out. So now I'm on season six, I'm halfway through. But I only want Sopranos when I'm on the bike after I finished the Sopranos, I'll go to my next show. So it's really what you were talking about with the grocery store. It's amazing how primitive our brains really are.Lesley Logan 24:17  They really are. But it's that dopamine hit. And also like because you want to watch that show and you have really good boundaries and willpower. It's really so but it's so I just want to say I thank you for going over the reading thing. One, every parent in here is so excited. They just learned something about their kids. So I'm happy to give them that but two, you know, we've gotten questions from the audience before about like just wanting to have time to read. It's like you don't just like put the book in your bag or put like have the audiobook on your phone. And then instead of when you're on line at Starbucks, going on Facebook, you could hit play for a couple of minutes. So my husband. Danny Brassell 24:54  May I share another strategy with you, Lesley? This is for everybody in your audience. I'm not too sharp and I like to look like I'm sharp to people. And so before I go to parties, I'll go to either the bookstore or to the library and to the children's section. And I'll read like 10, 32-page picture biographies of famous people so that, you know, I can, oh, Elon Musk, did you know this about him? Well, I got it from a picture book. But you know, I've raised like, wow, he knows all these amazing things. I don't know why it is, as we get older, they take the pictures out of the books, I'm like, oh, I like picture books they're a lot easier to read. And you don't have to be judged. But I used to tutor athletes that were they had earned scholarships to universities, but they were, you know, academically ineligible. So I had one gentleman, and he had a full-ride scholarship, he was going to be a defensive lineman, who's six foot, nine inches tall, 325 pounds, he had a full ride, but he was the 12th grader reading at a first grade level. And so they gave him to me, and they're like, Danny, can you get him up to his sixth grade in six months? And I said, okay, I'll do it. And so I had to get him reading. But he wants, he wants to read this, but he's reading at a first grade level. Well, first grade level books are about like bunny rabbits and puppy dogs. Well, 12th graders don't want to read books about bunny rabbits and puppy dogs. But that was his reading ability at that point. And so what I said is, okay, what we're gonna do is we're going to write a book for a first grade class. But before we write the book, we got to figure out what do first graders like to read. Do you know? He's like, no, and I'm like, okay, so here, we'll start reading all these. You see what I just did. Now he has permission. So when his buddies see him reading first grade level books, now he has permission, because oh, because I'm writing a book for first grade class, you know, and we were able to get him up to a sixth grade level in six months, but it's just figuring out is, this is what every good teacher of anything, does. They figure out where you are, and then they take you to the next level, you know. The problem in most education systems, is we think every kid is at the same level. And I'm like, no, I mean, kids are entering at different levels, they have different interests. You know, having taught young children, I have no idea how men even evolved because you give me a six-year-old boy and a six year old girl and almost to the tee, I can tell you that girl's about three, three levels above that little boy, I mean, boys are nincompoops. They finally catch up eventually, at least most of them do. Some of them, maybe I shouldn't say most, some of them do. But it's fascinating. I just love looking at, well, what turns this kid on to learning? And you know, same thing with adults too. I'm when I'm working with adults I'm like wow, this is what proves effective with this person. I, to me, that's the fun part.Lesley Logan 27:41  Yeah, I know, my mom has a really good time, like coming up with different ways to teach different learning styles, but it makes you go, how can we aren't just letting the girls go in at kindergarten at this age? And why don't we just let the boys come in a year later, like, well, that the product I know, guys, we don't have childcare in this country. Sorry, we'll get it figured out. We'll figure that out. And then we could figure out because it is really funny that we almost hold one age group back and then we expect another, another person to like rise up. It's it's not fair to anyone, no one is actually having a good time. And then the teachers are exhausted. So and then the parents sorry, and then the parents are exhausted. Lesley Logan 28:15  So okay, I have one more topic I wanted to bring up with you because you have so many facets, you mentioned that one of the things you do is help people, like help people take an action like, right, okay. So, we do have a lot of entrepreneurs here who are hoping that people take an action. Also, there's a lot of people here who are hoping that they'll just take an action. So do you have anything for us, like, I'm sure it is a long journey to figuring that out. But like what is like a hot like simple tip to taking action or to getting people to take action?Danny Brassell 28:47  (Inaudible) I use, I'll do two-day seminars with entrepreneurs when we're creating a speech and I have a formula for it. And I'm like, once you learn the formula, you can use it for anything. But here's an action strategy for everybody that I tell them to do is tonight, get a libation of choice a pen and paper and I want you to write down every story that's ever happened in your life. And I don't mean the whole story just mean triggers. So like, the time I locked myself out of the car in front of Costco, the time dad spilled mustard on his tie in that fancy restaurant, and in an hour, you'll probably come up with about three to 400 stories like that. So that's the first part of the exercise. The second part is now you have to associate what's the teaching point here? So you're like, oh, well, this is really a story about loyalty. Oh, this is a story about taking responsibility. Oh, this is a leadership story. And then what you do is put them in folders on your computer. So the next time you have you're asked to speak anywhere and you need like oh, a story on love. Well, here's 20 stories on love I have right here at my disposal. Just a really easy and then, you know, I'll work with some people. They say, well, Danny, nothing's ever happened to me. I'm like, well, whatever. Everybody said, a million stories. But even for that Debbie Downer that has to be negative and say nothing's ever happened to them. Here's the next tip. I get that I'm no I'm I broke my rule. I don't give tips. I give tips to waiters not to people. I'm gonna give you a strategy. So the strategy is, if you look at personal development books, one of the most successful personal development books of all time is Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill, in which he includes no personal stories. Every story he includes is based on interviews he did with the millionaires that he interviewed, I mean, you can definitely just based on the 300 guests you've had on your podcast, you could easily create a whole big compendium of all these different stories you've gotten and all the different teaching points. And so if you have if you find you're completely boring, well, then you have to be a student of the world. And I mean, this is why I'm watching things all the time that helped me like, oh, I'm addicted to a show on History Channel called The Food That Built America where they tell you, they show you how different foods came about. I'm like, oh, this is amazing. And so I have stories about that. I watch sports all the time. And my wife's like, why do you love sports? And I'm like, because at any given moment, something extraordinary can happen and they happen all the time when you see like that one act of sportsmanship, you're like, wow, that's really neat story or you see somebody that's hurt and they play a part in it. Wow, that's endurance. And so that's why again, it's, and it's the same thing by listening to this podcast is, oh, I'm learning. I'm learning all the time. I'm hearing you know, you, BJ gave you all these great, I'm like, wow, you learned a lot. And he gave you some stories. But people they don't remember, you know, it was actually Stalin, who said a million dead is a statistic, one dead is a tragedy and he's right about that. It's the way you connect with people is through stories. I think one of the I think it was President Reagan was the very first president of the United States that during his State of the Union address before Congress, instead of talking about health care, which nobody understood, he'd say, yeah, hey, Joe, Joe, Joe, Joe Thompson, get up, stand up. And all of a sudden, this guy in the gallery waves, that's Joe Thompson. He's like, Joe works at the GM plant in Louisville, Kentucky, and Joe got injured on the job a couple of months ago, but he didn't have health insurance and its costs and he can't make his rent he can't, and so now, when we think health care, we think Joe, we've put a face to the problem. And now we're starting to understand it a lot better. This is, you know, into my, my biblical people out there, Jesus was like the greatest salesman ever. That's what he always did. Jesus didn't say, you know, four to five of my apostles have to do this. No, he would always give you absolute actual stories. I mean, that's how we remember things is from stories. And so, again, long answer to your short question, but those are a couple of action items for your audience to take right now.Lesley Logan 32:58  I love that because it's so true. I write I have to write, you know, at least two newsletters per week. And then I have all the social media content that goes out. And I don't care what people say about no one reads the captions. People read my captions. You want to know how I know, because I put an action step in there at the very end and they have to comment and it's always different. It's like drop your favorite color. Do what's your favorite number, whatever. And people do it all the time. I take up all 2200 characters on Instagram guys, they do but I need stories because no one wants to just hear, like, the facts are great, like the facts about why you should move why you should work out, the fact about habits is all fine. But if you don't tell a story, no one's really interested. And then when they when they read the story and they take an action because they I feel like they attach, that story can relate to them in some way. Or that you know, that's what you're saying. So anyways, I love that. Thank you for that one. Lesley Logan 33:49  Okay. You're amazing. You do so many things on this planet. Like love to have you back. I can't wait for Brad to listen to this because he is just really going to love because he's an a, I'm just gonna share this with y'all. He does this gentleman thing once a quarter and all the guys like read actual, like the biggest thick books. One of our friends has an entire library. He's like reading so many books at a time. And they all bring a book to talk about and Brad, it's like their book is like okay, we're gonna bring a book about America. We're gonna bring a book or whatever the theme is. And Brad's like, so I'm listening to this, like, I don't know, you guys. He's talked about so many times. Oops. Anyways, it's something about time and it's about a god, the author died a long time ago. And some other people are writing the books. There's like 15 in the series, and he's starting them all over, and he listens to them. And he loves to listen to a book because he can listen to it while he's walking the dog. He can listen to it in bed, like right before he goes to bed. And so I just really think he's gonna love that you said we can listen to the books. He doesn't have to read them. Danny Brassell 34:43  Awesome. Lesley Logan 34:45  So, thank you. Okay, we'll take a brief break, find out where people can find you, follow you, work with you, hear more of your stories.Lesley Logan 34:51  All right, Danny, where do you hang out? Where can people stalk you in a good way?Danny Brassell 34:56  Well as a thank you for you and your audience bearing with me, I wanted to give everybody a couple of freebies. So if you go to freegiftfromdanny.com again, freegiftfromdanny.com, I'm gonna give everybody a complimentary e-copy of my book, Read, Lead & Succeed. This is a book I wrote for a school principal who was trying to keep his faculty and staff positively engaged. So I said, okay, I'll write you a book. So every week I'll give you a concept, I'll give you an inspirational quote, an inspirational story, a book recommendation on a book you should read, but you're probably too lazy because you're an adult. So I also give you a children's picture book recommendation that demonstrates the same concept, you can read that in five minutes. I'm also gonna give everybody access to a five-day reading challenge I did online last summer for about 700 parents around the world, where every day for an hour for five consecutive days, I give you basic, basic strategies. These are the space the basis of my reading program online, where I show you how to get your kids to read more, read better, most importantly, to love reading. Again, you get those at freegiftfromdanny.com. And I just really want to thank you, Lesley, for having me today. You're making a positive difference. Every day everybody has a choice, you know, was what it was either Socrates or read in The Shawshank Redemption who says you can get busy living or you can get busy dying so everybody out there, get busy living and celebrate. Thank you, Lesley, for all that you do.Lesley Logan 36:25  Oh my goodness, thank you so much. Hilarious that you quoted Shawshank Redemption. My girlfriend and I in college had one DVD for about three months and it was the Shawshank Redemption watched it every day. (Inaudible) What are you gonna do? Anyways, before I let you go, you've given us so many amazing strategies. But we like to end the episode with a Be It Action Item. So bold, executable, intrinsic or targeted steps people can take to be it till they see it. What do you have for us today?Danny Brassell 36:56  Well, you know, I was telling you to get those 20 minutes a day reading every single day, whether you're a kid or an adult and people that they'll often tell me well I have nothing to read at home I'm like oh, but you do. President Bush Senior over 30 years ago signed a very important law in this country. It says every single television set sold in America has to have closed captioning. So here's the quick strategy. Turn on the closed captioning. People say well, wait a sec. If this shows in English, and the subtitles are in English, what does that do? I'm like, well, that's a fair point. But let me make this point. Have you ever watched a show with subtitles and not looked at the subtitles? It's very difficult to do. Your brain is directed towards the text. There's actual research that supports this. If you look at reading scores around the world, the more kids watch TV, the lower their reading scores are in every single country on the planet except for one. The country with the highest reading scores on the planet also watches the most TV on the planet. It's Finland. And people always say well, how can that be? I'm like, well, because Finland makes really bad TV shows. And so what they have to do is they import all these old American sitcoms like Happy Days and Gilligan's Island and Brady Bunch, they subtitle them in Finnish the kids are constantly reading. So this isn't just for kids. This is for adults as well. But you know, turn on the subtitles, you'll be amazed at how it will help progress and advance your reading.Lesley Logan 38:17  Oh my gosh, blown away. Never have had that as an action item. Love it also had to do it on a flight recently because I could not hear the show. So I put the subtitles on. And I was like, I am not even watching the show. I'm just reading this. Well, then, you know, I did two hours of reading that day. Wonderful. Danny, thank you so much. This has been so wonderful. Just a joy. I love what you're doing on this planet. You're making amazing things. You'll have to let us know when we can get this, this social media thing for kids to the U.S. and also what other countries my listeners are in those ones. If you have kids and you're there, guess what? There's something for you. So y'all take a look at the links below. Make sure you check out Danny's freebies. They're all in the show notes. And until next time, Be It Till You See It. Lesley Logan 39:03  That's all I got for this episode of the Be It Till You See It Podcast.

Yes, simply "five". The number "5" has remarkable symbolism on both real estate investing the GRE way, and elsewhere in your life pathway. See how real estate actually performed when compared to other asset classes in the past year: stocks, gold, bitcoin, and bonds. Everyone knows that some commercial real estate is sagging, like office. Industrial is steady. Retail is actually booming. Recession predictions were so bad. In the past year, we had low unemployment, rising GDP, solid corporate profits, and inflation fell.  I explain what an inverted yield curve means and why it matters to you. Not only does “Real Estate Pay 5 Ways”, but the number “five” often has significance in both symbolism and numerology. Using a $40K down payment on a $200K property, I add up how “Real Estate Pays 5 Ways” and sum a lofty 46% total rate of return with today's real-life numbers.  We have available inventory of income property.

From Johannesburg, South Africa, to Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania, and across 188 nations worldwide. I'm Keith Weinhold and you're listening to Get Rich Education. This is where your educational major is real estate investing. And your minors are in real estate economics and wealth mindset. That's what we do here. It all culminates with your doctorate in financial freedom. Before we talk about real estate, we recently had a year that just ended. And to know their real estate is the right place for you long term at times, especially after a year ends, we need to compare that to other asset classes. So what actually happened last year? Elsewhere in the investing world? Stocks, the S&P 500 was up 25%, even though for most of it invest in stocks, you're only paid one way, not five ways, but still 25%. That's a pretty healthy return on tech companies accounted for most of the gains, yes, what they call the Magnificent Seven that is putting the team on its back.   Speaker 1 (00:02:33) - Yeah, these are the seven tech mega caps Microsoft, Apple, alphabet, Nvidia, Tesla, meta and Amazon. They surged more than 75% last year, while the other 493 companies in the S&P 500 have gained just 12%. Yes, the Magnificent Seven now accounts for nearly 30% of the index's entire value. That's per the Wall Street Journal. And speaking of the S&P 500, it just added a prominent new member a few weeks ago, and that is Uber zooming outside, the United States, global stock markets had their best year since 2019. Bitcoin was up 157%. Yes, you heard that right. 157 as the crypto winter thawed out last year, the yield on the ten year Treasury note was up just eight basis points. That's virtually unchanged. Very little movement. And see, that's also why mortgage rates ended the year at the same level they started at, which is near 6.5%. That is because mortgage rates track that ten year note. Gold was up 11%. And here in residential real estate it was up 4%.   Speaker 1 (00:03:51) - That's on the median price of existing homes. But it's only through November, not the full calendar year. Yes, real estate is such a laggard with reporting statistics. So almost everywhere y'all look prices are up up, up. Yes. It's not just for those essentials on your last grocery store run where they're up okay. The value of your assets fortunately is up too. And really, one of the few places that pain was felt was in the commercial real estate market. I think you know that. But let me tell you how that pain is positioned to get even worse shortly here. All right. U.S. office vacancy rates hovered around 20% last year. Now, that's a rate that was actually worse than during the 2008 financial crisis. More companies told workers, hey, get back to your desk, okay? Calling workers back to the office at Salesforce, Amazon, Blackrock. But still, card swipe data in America showed that only about half as many people are making the trip into the office compared to pre-pandemic numbers.   Speaker 1 (00:05:03) - And you've got some companies like meta, the parent of Facebook and Instagram, they're getting creative and actually subleasing their office space to other tenants. But not all commercial real estate is struggling. The retail vacancy rate fell to just 4.8% last year. Retail is not dead, and that retail vacancy rate, that is actually the lowest in 18 years since the real estate firm CBRE started tracking it. And big box stores and malls, shockingly, are. So back. There's also a big real estate demand for warehouses, data centers and industrial space, thanks to the recent surge of AI and that pandemic induced e-commerce boom. But we probably haven't seen the worst of it yet because, okay, within the next four years, about two thirds of commercial real estate loans will likely be refinanced, with interest rates much higher than they were the first time around. The last thing that we have to recap for you that we learned from last year is all of those god awful, dreadfully wrong predictions. A recession. So many predictions were so wrong.   Speaker 1 (00:06:27) - Instead, we had historically low unemployment and solid corporate profits. Inflation fell. Now there is one prominent financial media platform, one of the nation's biggest. I won't mention their name, though you've surely heard of them. This agency gave zero room for any other outcome because they predicted a 100% chance of a recession last year. 100%. All right. They really look wrong. Although let's be mindful, technically, due to a statistical lag, we often don't know if we are in a recession until after the fact. But if you think that we were late last year, understand though, not absolutely everyone was a Debbie Downer, say back in late 2022, let's give some credit where it's due. Moody's Analytics chief economist Mark Zandi, he was one of the few experts who kept the faith for a soft landing. He pointed out the recessions typically come out of the blue, and that there was a good chance the fed would get inflation under control without taking the economy. Now, one condition that a lot of people pointed to saying that a recession should be here by now, is that dreaded condition that you probably heard of? Maybe.   Speaker 1 (00:07:47) - Maybe not. But that is known as an inverted yield curve, which is deemed as a harbinger of bad things to come, usually recession. Okay, now that phenomenon inverted yield curve. That sounds intimidating. I think when you hear that. Okay. And what that means in inverted yield curve is that the interest rate on long term bonds is lower than the interest rate on short term bonds. And that that right there is what's often a bad sign for the economy. Now, if what I just said right there kind of makes you scratch your head and say to yourself, what was all that gobbledygook again? And why does it matter? Why don't I give you a simple example of an inverted yield curve? Then you can actually remember. What I'll do is make this personal to you. A bond is just a fancy name for a loan. Let's say that you need a loan for $10,000, and you've got this great friend, a lifelong and trusted friend, and he will let you borrow the money from him.   Speaker 1 (00:08:56) - Now, if you take out the loan and tell him that you'll pay him back as quickly as next week, which is our short term bond. In this example where your friend might not charge you any interest on the loan at all, then just say that he wanted you to pay him a small 1% interest rate. Okay, see, your rate is low because there's not that much risk for him since you'll pay him back next week. That's not too long for him to wait. But say that you want to take the same $10,000 loan from that friend, but you're going to pay him back for ten years. An entire decade? Well, for him to want to make you that loan, he's going to need to get compensated more with a higher interest rate for the heightened risk in that long payback period. Okay, what if you move or if you aren't even alive in ten years? All right. That entails more risk for him, the lender. So therefore your loan comes with a 10% interest rate that you've got to pay your friend.   Speaker 1 (00:09:57) - This is analogous to the long term bond. All right right there I've just explained the normal yield curve condition right there. That's normal. The longer someone lends money out for to you, the more that they must get compensated. And that should make sense to you that that is a normal world. One week was 1% interest, one decade was 10% interest that you'd have to pay. That's normal. However, in inverted yield, curve simply flips that normal world upside down. It inverts it. It's the opposite of the arrangement that I just described with your friend. So this is where the shorter duration that one makes a loan for the higher interest rate they're compensated with. See, that's a weird world. That's an inverted yield curve. Because if your friend thinks that the world is going to crash soon with a recession or a depression, or Earth gets hit with an asteroid soon, well, then he'd want high compensation, even on a short term, week long loan, because freakish things are happening. And that's an inverted yield curve.   Speaker 1 (00:11:10) - And that's why having one like we have recently signals something dire, like a recession coming to many. Now, at the top of the show, I talked about the returns of various asset. Over the past year. Of course, that is only in terms of capital appreciation. That's all that most investors think about simply, did it go up or did it go down? It's an important question, but around here we know that real estate is a special asset class because when it's bought, right, it can pay you five ways at the same time. When it comes to the numbers, that number five, that is symbolic of why we do what we do here at gray. So let me talk about really, the existential and symbolic virtues that resonate with you across your life and the meaning behind that special number five. And it's about more than our real estate pays. Five ways, which is any listener knows is appreciation, cash flow, return on amortization, tax benefits, and then fifthly, inflation profiting.   Speaker 1 (00:12:18) - And I'm holding up five fingers right now, as I say this, according to numerology, the number five symbolizes freedom, curiosity and change, a desire to have adventures and explore new possibilities. But it signifies more than just high energy and excitement. In numerology, the five negative traits can include talking too much and overconfidence. Okay, that's what numerology says. Five ways real estate pays is a freedom formula. So that's actually numerology appropriate, I suppose. Now we don't do astrology or tarot cards here. Nothing hokey, concrete evidence though I will venture to guess that at least in some other facet of your life, five resonates with you. You've got five senses. Each one of your limbs has five fingers or five toes. In Christianity, there are the five wounds of Jesus Christ. If you're Muslim, there are the five pillars of Islam. Muslims pray to Allah five times a day. In Judaism, the Torah contains five books. Aristotle said that the universe is made up of five classical elements water, air, earth, fire, and ether.   Speaker 1 (00:13:41) - A lot of more popular folklore celebrates the five like Indiana Jones sort, the Sankara stones. They were five magical rocks. In music. Modern musical notation uses a musical staff made of five horizontal lines. Sports. The Olympic Games have five interlocked rings. When you shake hands to close your next real estate deal, you're each using those five fingers. In law, five is what renders a verdict. Five is the number of justices on the Supreme Court of the United States necessary to render a majority decision. There's a show on Fox called the Five and near the top of our Don't Quit Your day dream letter. We've got the five. Five is defensible in your investment fortress, just like the Pentagon is a five sided building in D.C. known for defense. Real estate pays five ways. And hey, even that phrase is five words. And it's a concept that was first introduced to the world right here on the Gerry podcast in 2015. So we're done with the touchy feely stuff, but look around five. It has a lot of meaning in your life.   Speaker 1 (00:15:02) - And in fact, the next time someone asks you why you're invested in real estate, hold up five fingers and confidently tell them that real estate pays five ways. What better way to affirm this than to come back with a concrete example shortly on how this helps you navigate toward financial freedom in your life, in ever changing real estate markets, we're going to use today's real life numbers in summing up the five. I hope you enjoyed me whipping around the asset classes in explaining what an inverted yield curve really means to you. More next, I'm Keith Reinhold. You're listening to get Rich education. Role under the specific expert with income property, you need Ridge Lending Group and MLS for 256. In gray history, from beginners to veterans, they provided our listeners with more mortgages than anyone. It's where I get my own loans for single family rentals up to four Plex's. Start your pre-qualification and chat with President Charlie Ridge personally. They'll even customize a plan tailored to you for growing your portfolio. Start at Ridge Lending group.com Ridge lending group.com.   Speaker 1 (00:16:23) - You know, I'll just tell you, for the most passive part of my real estate investing, personally, I put my own dollars with Freedom Family Investments because their funds pay me a stream of regular cash flow in returns are better than a bank savings account up to 12%. Their minimums are as low as 25 K. You don't even need to be accredited for some of them. It's all backed by real estate. And I kind of love how the tax benefit of doing this can offset capital gains in your W-2 jobs income. They've always given me exactly their stated return paid on time. So it's steady income, no surprises while I'm sleeping or just doing the things I love. For a little insider tip, I've invested in their power fund to get going on that text family to 66866. Oh, and this isn't a solicitation. If you want to invest where I do, just go ahead and text family to six, six eight, six, six.   Speaker 3 (00:17:26) - This is Rich dad advisor Ken McElroy. Listen to get Rich education with Keith White.   Speaker 3 (00:17:32) - Hold and don't quit your day dream.   Speaker 1 (00:17:44) - Welcome back to get Rich education. I'm your host, Keith Wayne. Hold. You've been with me here every single week since 2014. A lot of you have anyway. You're listening to episode 483, and I'm deeply appreciative for you, the listener, coming up here on the show and in house chat with one of our investment coaches, Doug Casey, on the Silent Depression. And like I told you last week, soon, a return of Tom. We write when we discuss whether the US can just completely do away with and delete the property tax. Wouldn't that be amazing? Around here? We like to say that when we provide good housing to people, we can help abolish the term slumlord. But your real estate investing venture isn't solely altruistic. There are generous profits, too. And, you know, it's incredible to me how more real estate investors don't even understand the answer to basic questions like how do I get paid in? How much do I get paid, and where the sources of where that money comes from.   Speaker 1 (00:18:49) - And really, these are all huge reasons for why you and I are even investing in real estate at all. So I love doing this. Let's add up the five ways and come up with a total ROI. And it's always a little awe inspiring to do this, even with conservative numbers, to see how high your return gets. And let's use the year 2024 sort of numbers. And it's kind of funny in a sense. I dislike real estate elements where down the outside tenants might get difficult to manage on the inside, and you're certainly going to have some problems, including some weird problems along the way in your investor journey. So although in a sense I dislike real estate, rather I like what real estate does, for me, it's largely about those giant returns. So let me demystify real estate returns with a quick breakdown. And I think you know that the five ways are not for fix and flip property. This is just with buy and hold investing on a property that's ready to go, ready to be moved into turnkey.   Speaker 1 (00:20:03) - Here's a simplified method the concrete numbers. Right. Let's say that you make a 20% down payment. In this case that is a 40 K initial investment on a 200 K income property in just a year. Here's what can happen. The first way appreciation. You've got that initial property value of 200 K and appreciation rate of just 5%. Where your new property's value is now 210 K, you just experienced an equity gain of ten K divided by your 40 K initial investment. That is a 25% return to you just from the first of five ways you're paid. That is due to the magic of leverage, because you got the gain on both your down payment and the money that you got to borrow from the bank. The second way is with cash flow. Let's say your rental income is $1,600 a month, but things are running a little thinner on this property, and your expenses are $1,500 a month with the mortgage and all the operating expenses, that gives you leftover cash flow of only 100 bucks a month. That's 1200 bucks a year that's still divided by that same 40 K initial investment you made.   Speaker 1 (00:21:13) - All right. That is another 3% return to you. The third way you're paid is that ROA return on amortization. Also known as principal pay down. All right. Will you have a 160 K loan on this property? We'll use an 8% interest rate. So all you got to do is search for a loan amortization table, bring it up, and you'll see that you have a monthly principal reduction of about $110 a month. That is $1,320 a year that your tenant paid down, not you. So right here, your $1,320 equity gain is still divided by your same 40 K skin in the game down payment. That is yet another 3% gain. Then the fourth of five ways are your tax benefits. All right. Your property value is 200 K. That's how much your property is worth on the day that you bought it. And your building value might be about 70% of that. And the other is in the value of the land. So therefore you're building value. Or that improved portion of the property is worth about 140 K will annual depreciation is about 3.6% of that.   Speaker 1 (00:22:30) - That gives you a $5,000 tax depreciation benefit. If you're at the 25% tax rate, that's 1250 bucks a year divided by your same 40 K initial investment, that is another 3% return to you just piling on. And then the fifth and final way is your inflation profiting you profit from inflation as your debt gets debased by inflation. This is the least understood of the five ways you've got that 160 K loan amount at a 3% inflation rate. That gives you an annual debt debasement of $4,800, again divided by your same 40 K initial investment. This is another 12% return to you. All right. There we go. Now let's add up all of those ROI from the five ways real estate pays. You had 25% from appreciation plus 3% from cash flow, plus 3% from your ROA, plus 3% from your tax benefit, plus 12% from your inflation profiting that equals a 46% total ROI that you have from this property. I mean that right there. That is exactly why you're a real estate investor. That is exactly why I'm a real estate investor.   Speaker 1 (00:23:56) - What do you think it was for to replace toilet flappers and spackle? Drywall? Hey, this stuff's important, but I don't personally do it myself. That's the kind of stuff I dislike because I'm not good at it. Now, at a number of steps when I went through that, you'll notice that I was conservative or rounded down. I used an 8% mortgage rate and 3% inflation. Although there are numerous tax benefits, the only one I considered is tax depreciation. Your seller can often help pay your closing costs if you make a full price offer. So to keep it simple, I did not roll closing costs into that. See, all these numbers are realistic. While paying a property manager is accounted for. And as a reminder, that was only in year one. Your subsequent years returns. They are going to gradually diminish as equity accumulates in your property. And of course, that's an example. You are real life numbers. You're really going to be better than that or worse than that. And yes, we could get more precise numbers if we like, discuss numbers from 20 spreadsheets and really made your head hurt.   Speaker 1 (00:25:09) - But we're not going to do that. And you do enough years of this, and you're going to have hordes of people lurking in the viewers of your Instagram story about your latest month long vacation in the Maldives islands. Okay, now, if you need to see what I just explained visually and your newer to our platform and you haven't seen that yet, I also explain the five ways in a free mini video course so that you can really get a good look at all those numbers and where they come from. And you can get that at get Rich education. Com slash course. The cool thing about real estate math like I just did there is it simplicity. All we did there was addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. It real estate. I've never had to do trigonometry, calculus or use exponents. Okay, it's not about complicated maths. All it is is knowing what numbers to use. And in fact, that's probably why I'd expected. My skills are pretty rusty in calculus and trigonometry right now. I don't need to use that stuff.   Speaker 1 (00:26:17) - You can do all this with a pen and a napkin at. Lunch. And that is a big part of the beauty of this. So here at gray, we brought the world in awareness to this for about nine years now, and shortly after show inception, we helped lead you to the actual property addresses that are conducive to this because you kept asking me, where can I actually find properties, where this works? And then more recently, we added free coaching to help get you started or to help you get your next income property. And by the way, if you've ever wondered, there are eight of us that are here on the team at gray, and we often recruit new team members. We do that through our newsletter subscribers like you, because you already understand abundantly minded concepts like financially free beats debt free. We are not owned by any parent company. So when you tell a friend about the show or you interact with our sponsors, you're really supporting an independent voice here. And that's not to disparage the big corporate in any way.   Speaker 1 (00:27:26) - That's just simply not who we are. It was recently reported that Warner Brothers and Paramount are in early merger discussions. Well, gray won't be facing scrutiny from antitrust regulators anytime soon. And our sponsors, like you hear on our ads here during the show, they are ones that I use myself. We don't produce AI generated material here either. This is organic, original content, and a number of people on our team here have been with us for a while. Our investment coach Andrea since 2020, nourish since 2021, and our podcast Sound Engineer and has helped produce this show that you're listening to right now, every single week since episode three, in 2014, almost since inception, nine plus years now, Gray Marketplace is where you'll find the income properties for almost two years now. To make it even easier for you, you can even find and select from our two investment coaches on that page in order to help you out. And since our coaching is truly free, please respect their time. They're not there just to chat.   Speaker 1 (00:28:40) - It is for action takers now. Seven weeks ago, we did an episode here on how the real estate market is slowing it down. And of course, when we're talking about slowing down, the slow real estate market is in terms of the number of sales or the sales volume, not as many homes are transacting as usual. For one thing, there's always a lag around the holidays, but there's also an overall lack of American housing inventory, as you probably know well, I am happy to tell you that we do have inventory at GRE marketplace and a good selection. Everything from an older, renovated Ohio single family income property for a sales price of, say, 110 K to Alabama and new build single families for 300 K to Florida. New build duplexes for 500 to 600 K to four plex's for upwards of $1 million. If you want to benefit from everything that we discuss here on the channel, the actionable way for you to do that is with our free coaching. Yes, I'm talking about you. Make yourself that long term.   Speaker 1 (00:29:51) - Five ways profiteer. By not focusing on getting your money to work for you. That is a fixed mindset paradigm shift to ethically getting other people's money to work for you. Like we discuss here. That is, you simply put a small down payment on an income producing property. I mean, that's most of the formula right there. That's it. We're talking about how you can start or grow your own portfolio of buy and hold property, not fixing flips. It's often entry level property which is what makes a good long term rental property that's either already renovated or it is brand new. Oftentimes it's single family homes. Up to four plex is sometimes some apartment buildings. They're now a great marketplace. You can either shop off market property yourself, or have the free help of one of our great investment coaches. And your coach learns your goals, guides you, and makes it easy for you. They help you shop. The great marketplace properties, tell you where the real deals are nationally, and sometimes they tell you how to get improbably low mortgage rates when new home builders make those available, and your coach if you don't have one already, they give you the insights, the news on the latest good deals.   Speaker 1 (00:31:13) - For about a year now, a lot of new home builders have got to keep building and they have to keep moving properties to stay in business. So that's why amidst. Higher mortgage rates. You can get an interest rate for income property in the fives now because the builder buys it down for you and or even get a year's worth of free property management. Yeah, builders are often able to buy down your mortgage rate for you, because what they do is that they buy big chunks of money from lenders in bulk, where instead, if a lender does it directly with you, they have more documentation that they have to do with each individual investor for their smaller loan sizes. That's how builders are buying down your rate. They buy money in bulk from lenders. Now you'll see that grey marketplace properties are often less expensive than you'll find elsewhere. For properties that are turnkey and ready to be tenant occupied. Like this. Now, how are these off market property prices so competitive? Really? Where's the advantage come from here? Well, first of all, there is no real estate agent that the seller has to compensate with a traditional 5 or 6% commission.   Speaker 1 (00:32:30) - Instead you get to buy direct. Secondly, investor advantage markets just intrinsically have lower prices than the national median. They tend to be in the Midwest, southeast and Inland Northeast, and they come with a property management solution. And thirdly, the providers in our network, they're not mom and pop flippers that provide investors like you with just 1 or 2 homes a year. Instead, these are builders and renovation companies in business to do this at scale. So they get to buy their materials in bulk, keeping the price down for you. And really a fourth reason that you tend to find good deals at Gray Market Place is that you aren't buying properties from owner occupants where their emotions get involved, and they sometimes expect irrationally high prices for some offbeat reason because the living room is where they open their Christmas stockings every year for a decade or something like that. Now, just like buying your own home to live in, these income properties come with a lot of the same safeguards when you buy. We suggest that once your coach helps you make an offer and you're under contract for a property, that you have an independent third party property inspection done, and then the seller typically fixes any inspection findings for you at their expense, the seller's expense, before you close the deal.   Speaker 1 (00:33:57) - And we're talking about anything from a window that doesn't close properly to a faucet that drips. You want to have those conditions cured and taken care of before you buy. Now, as a buyer, it's not legally required that you do an inspection, but I recommend it even if it slows down your purchase process a little. Inspection is like cheap insurance for you. Don't rush that part as a condition of your mortgage lender giving you the loan, there will be an independent lender appraisal of the property's value before you buy. That part is mandatory. And this appraisal? It's another safeguard to keep you from overpaying. If you don't have an investment coach yet, it is truly free. They're there to help you out. Read a few sentences about each coach and pick the coach that you think resonates with you. Or just pick the one that you think has the best smile over there on that page. Uh, they are really well qualified. They have their MBAs, but more importantly, the coaches are relatable because they're active real estate investors themselves, just like I am.   Speaker 1 (00:35:03) - Coaching is truly something that's free. We don't try to upsell you to some paid course or some fee based coaching program later. There's nothing like that. So just create one login one time and connect with them at Gray marketplace.com. And it's really helpful if you're financially ready. First check with your mortgage loan company and get pre-approved unless you're paying all cash. Really? Today, with inflation about as little as you'd want to spend on a rental property, they won't give you an inordinate amount of problems. Is your 20% down payment on a 100 to 150 K property? Well, you should find this most helpful. You can get started with investor advantaged off market deals and investment coaches at Gray marketplace.com I'm Keith Reinhold. I'll chat with you next week. Don't quit your day dream.   Speaker 4 (00:36:05) - Nothing on this show should be considered specific, personal or professional advice.
