Donald Trump verschärft seinen Zollkurs. Trotz eines Urteils des Supreme Court, das seine bisherige Praxis für unrechtmäßig erklärt. Statt einzulenken, kündigt er neue Zölle von zunächst 10, dann 15 Prozent auf Importe aus aller Welt an. Ein offener Machtkampf zwischen Justiz und Exekutive. Gordon Repinski darüber, wie das eine Chance für Europa sein kann. Im 200-Sekunden-Interview spricht Dirk Wiese, parlamentarischer Geschäftsführer der SPD-Fraktion, über eine mögliche deutsche Linie: Aussetzung des Ratifizierungsprozesses, mehr europäische Härte, mögliche Anwendung des Anti-Coercion-Act und ob Europa ein De-Risking gegenüber den USA braucht. Vier Jahre nach Beginn der Voll-Invasion steht die Unterstützung für die Ukraine erneut unter Druck. Ein 90-Milliarden-Euro-Kredit der EU gerät ins Stocken, während Bundeskanzler Friedrich Merz in Berlin Solidarität beschwört. Wie belastbar ist die europäische Einigkeit noch?

Today's episode is the third in a series of three that examine the potential consequences for China if a military operation against Taiwan were to fail. In each of these episodes, we're speaking with authors of a recently published German Marshall Fund study of the possible costs that China would incur across four different, but interrelated areas: the Chinese economy, the military, Chinese social stability, and international costs. The report is titled, “If China Attacks Taiwan” and it is posted on GMFUS.org.  Our podcast today focuses on the potential costs for the Chinese economy.To recap, the study considered two scenarios that could take place in the next five years. In the first scenario, a minor skirmish escalates into a multi-week maritime blockade of Taiwan by China. Although several dozen members of the Chinese and Taiwanese military are killed, U.S. intervention eventually forces China to de-escalate.  In the second scenario, a conflict escalates into a full-fledged invasion, with Chinese strikes on not only Taiwan but also U.S. forces in Japan and Guam. After several months of heavy fighting, Chinese forces are degraded and eventually withdraw after suffering many tens of thousands of casualties.Our guests today are Charlie Vest and Logan Wright, who co-authored the chapter on the implications for the Chinese economy of a failed operation against Taiwan. Logan is a partner at Rhodium Group and leads the firm's work on China's economy and its global impact. Charlie is an associate director at Rhodium Group, where he manages corporate research and advisory work on China.Timestamps:[00:00] Introduction[02:34] Key Takeaways: China's Ambitions vs. Economic Realities [05:41] The Escalation Dilemma in China's Decisionmaking[09:56] Immediate Disruptions to Trade and FDI[13:52] Gray-Zone Military Engagement and Political Pressures[16:48] Could Beijing Underestimate the Costs of US Intervention? [24:12] Policy Tools and Limitations for Economic Stabilization and Recovery[27:19] Long-Term Economic Effects[29:24] Impact of Social Instability

Kevin Green kicks off Thursday's market coverage with his eyes on the weakness in tech and comm. services on the heels of Alphabet (GOOGL) earnings. He says the ripple effects could impact other names, adding $170 "has to hold" for Nvidia (NVDA). For GOOGL, he says the re-rated "aggressively higher" capex spend was up sharply from market expectations, as Google Deepmind and its AI capabilities continue to spend heavily. KG also examines Qualcomm's (QCOM) downward post-earnings move and Bitcoin's (/BTC) continued fall so far this month. For the S&P 500 (SPX), KG says "keep your head on a swivel" while he projects a wide range today with 6750 to the downside and 6930 to the upside.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – / schwabnetwork Follow us on Facebook – / schwabnetwork Follow us on LinkedIn - / schwab-network About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about

You may think that seeking investments as an Expat in Ireland is as simple as finding the right advice. In practice, though, the conventional wisdom doesn't always mean the best results for you.In Part 2 of my conversation with Paddy Delaney of Informed Decisions, we get into some of the assumptions many people hold about investing as they move closer to retirement, particularly the idea that “de-risking” automatically means safety. Paddy explains why that conventional wisdom doesn't always stack up in practice, and why understanding volatility, time horizons, and having a proper plan matters far more than simply defaulting into a middle-of-the-road fund.We also spend time on something that comes up constantly in my work with expats: fees, transparency, and how to tell whether you're getting advice or being sold a product. We talk about commission, “free” financial plans, what questions you should be asking before you sign anything, and how easily costs can stay hidden in the background for years if you don't know where to look. This is particularly relevant if you've brought pensions or investments with you from another country and are trying to make sense of how everything fits together in Ireland.If you haven't yet, make sure you listen to Part 1 of my conversation with Paddy for all of his advice about financial planning, and to prepare you for this episode.Main Topics Discussed in this Episode:Challenging the “De-Risking” Myth Near Retirement: We unpack why automatically moving into lower-risk, middle-of-the-road funds as retirement approaches can actually reduce long-term outcomes, and why volatility isn't necessarily the enemy if you've planned properly.The Importance of Planning Beyond the Investment Product: This is one of those areas where having a real plan matters — we talk about thinking through “what could go wrong,” having other assets to draw on, and avoiding forced decisions at the worst possible time.Advice vs Product Sales: How to Tell the Difference: We explore the key signals that distinguish genuine financial planning from a transactional product sale, including how advisors are paid and why “free” plans are rarely free.Fees, Transparency, and Asking the Right Questions: From hidden charges to headline Annual Management Charges that don't tell the full story, we explain where fees really sit, why expats can get a nasty surprise, and the direct questions you should feel comfortable asking upfront.What Value for Money Actually Looks Like in Financial Advice: We discuss the wide spectrum of service levels in the market, what ongoing advice should include, and why paying more only makes sense if you're genuinely getting engagement, insight, and support in return.Get in touch with Paddy DelaneyWebsite: InformedDecisions.ieLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/paddy-delaney-qfa-rpa-apa-73778969/Podcast:

Don Burnette, Founder & CEO, Kodiak joined Grayson Brulte on The Road to Autonomy podcast to discuss taking Kodiak public and why the company's strategy has always been about de-risking autonomy with optionality. As part of their de-risking strategy, Kodiak has deployed an asset-light business model where partners including Atlas Energy Solutions own and operate the trucks, allowing Kodiak to focus on the AI software.During the episode, Grayson and Don discuss the strategic importance of Kodiak's partnership with Bosch to develop a redundant, OEM-agnostic platform that unlocks scale across multiple OEMs. With their partnerships and business model intact, Kodiak is preparing to launch driver-out commercial over-the-road operations in the second half of the year, setting the stage for a broader expansion into physical AI.Episode Chapters0:00 Taking Kodiak Public3:36 Asset-Light Autonomous Trucking Business 12:10 Unstructured Driving 14:31 Kodiak's Platform Agnostic Strategy 21:45 Bosch Partnership 27:47 Preparing for Driver-Out Over-The-Road Operations 34:10 Over-The-Road Business Model25:38 Future of KodiakRecorded on Monday, January 12, 2026--------About The Road to AutonomyThe Road to Autonomy provides market intelligence and strategic advisory services to institutional investors and companies, delivering insights needed to stay ahead of emerging trends in the autonomy economy™.

In this Crypto Town Hall episode, hosts Scott and Dave discuss Bitcoin's prolonged consolidation around $90K-$92K amid remarkably low volatility and volume, describing it as time-based capitulation with the market awaiting a major catalyst. Panelists explore macro factors including persistent fiscal spending, dollar dilution, booming precious metals (gold nearly doubled, silver more than doubled in 2025), institutional moves like Morgan Stanley's crypto push, and potential capital rotation from gold/silver into Bitcoin and alts. Optimism remains high for 2026 upside driven by liquidity, infrastructure demand, and regulatory clarity, while the group debates risk appetite, fraud cleanup, and the inevitability of higher nominal growth despite near-term sideways action.

How India Is De-Risking Oil Exploration One Well At A Time is the focus of this in-depth conversation on The Core Report with Govindraj Ethiraj. As India looks to secure its energy future, this episode explores how ONGC is changing the way it approaches oil exploration, reducing risk one well at a time while navigating geopolitics, technology shifts, and rising energy demand.In this discussion, Financial Journalist Govindraj Ethiraj speaks with Arun Kumar Singh, Chairman & CEO, ONGC, about how India is de-risking oil exploration through deep water and ultra-deep water drilling, global collaboration, and advanced digital and AI-driven seismic analysis. The conversation explains why India's biggest oil discoveries, if they come, are likely offshore and why patience, data, and repeated drilling matter more than quick wins.We look at how oil exploration economics have changed, why a single ultra-deep water well can cost many times more than traditional drilling, and how India is balancing risk, cost, and technology to improve success rates. The episode also unpacks how global oil markets, crude prices, geopolitics, and deglobalisation are shaping India's energy strategy and why domestic exploration has become even more critical.This episode of The Core Report also dives into India's broader energy transition, including renewables, solar power, energy storage, and why oil and gas will continue to play a central role in India's growth story for decades. From AI in drilling decisions to building global capability centres and attracting young engineering talent, this is a rare inside look at how India is de-risking oil exploration one well at a time.If you follow business news, world news, energy policy, or the future of India's economy, this conversation offers clarity on how oil exploration, technology, and energy security intersect at a crucial moment.Subscribe for more deep-dive conversations on business, energy, markets, and policyShare this episode with anyone tracking India's energy futureComment with your view on how India should balance oil exploration and renewables#OilExploration #IndiaEnergy #ONGC #EnergySecurity #TheCoreReport

This week on the Retirement Quick Tips podcast, I'm sharing with you my favorite topics that didn't quite make it to the podcast this year - mostly a collection of articles that I found interesting and wanted to cover on the podcast, but it never made it to the top of the heap. Today's episode is actually a comment from one of my YouTube videos that I think is an important one to address:  What is a good age to start de-risking in general, in your opinion? Retiring at 55 to 6

China ist Deutschlands wichtigster Handelspartner, die deutsche Abhängigkeit von Importen aus China ist groß. Das weiß auch Außenminister Johann Wadephul, der Anfang dieser Woche zu Gesprächen in Peking und Guangzhou war. Er wollte in China unter anderem über die scharfen Exportkontrollen für seltene Erden sprechen, die auch die deutsche Industrie unter Druck setzen. Denn in der Gewinnung und Verarbeitung seltener Erden, die für Wirtschaft und Energiewende unverzichtbar sind, hat China eine unangefochtene Vormachtstellung in der Welt. Kann Deutschland überhaupt ohne China? Wie groß Chinas wirtschaftliche Macht ist und warum Deutschland und Europa davon so abhängig sind, bespricht Anne Will in dieser Folge mit Janka Oertel, Asien-Expertin und Distinguished Policy Fellow beim European Council on Foreign Relations. Oertel ist eine der führenden China-Expertinnen Deutschlands und plädiert immer wieder dafür, sich möglichst schnell unabhängiger von China zu machen. Seit der Veröffentlichung der deutschen China-Strategie 2023 seien wir im De-Risking nicht weitergekommen, sagt sie, die Risiken seien sogar noch gestiegen. Es brauche nun echte Interventionen und alternative Lieferketten, auch EU-Zollerhöhungen könnten eine Option sein. In dieser Folge geht es außerdem darum, wie die EU da mit einem neuen Aktionsplan gegensteuern will und warum Chinas wirtschaftliche Lage jetzt ein Möglichkeitsfenster bietet, in den chinesisch-europäischen Beziehungen Druck aufzubauen. Redaktionsschluss für diese Folge war der 10.12.2025, 18:30 Uhr.

In this episode of Disruption/Interruption, host KJ sits down with Lukas Egger, VP of Product Strategy and Innovation at SAP Signavio. They discuss the realities of implementing AI in large enterprises, the pitfalls of treating AI as a plug-and-play solution, and the importance of re-engineering business systems to unlock true value. Lucas shares insights on innovation, the dangers of the "speed race," and how organizations can de-risk ambitious AI projects. Four Key Takeaways: The AI "Rat Race" Myth [2:00]Lukas explains why the biggest mistake in AI adoption is thinking it's a race to move the fastest, and why slowing down can actually lead to outsized value. The True Cost and Opportunity of AI [7:26]The conversation compares current AI investments to the Manhattan Project, highlighting the generational scale of today's infrastructure build-out and the unique opportunities it presents. Paradigm Shifts: Cheap Content, Expensive Trust [16:59]Lukas discusses how the abundance of cheap, AI-generated content shifts value creation from ownership to membership, and why trust and personalization are now critical. Re-engineering Business Systems for AI [24:29]Lukas argues that success with AI requires rethinking and redesigning entire business processes, not just swapping out old components for new technology. Quote of the Show (36:55):"The most important part is to claim agency about your strategy and what you want to achieve, and this will not come from giving into whatever the latest social media news might imply.” – Lukas Egger Join our Anti-PR newsletter where we’re keeping a watchful and clever eye on PR trends, PR fails, and interesting news in tech so you don't have to.

Amanda Cruise interviews Logan Fullmer, a Texas-based investor who specializes in distressed property acquisition and solving complex title problems. Logan shares his journey from blowing a seven-figure inheritance and getting sober, to rebuilding his life in the oil fields and then parlaying small, risk-adjusted land bets into a multi-division commercial real estate business. He breaks down how he finds “unsellable” properties with tax issues, messy heirship, and judgments, then uses common sense negotiation and targeted legal strategies to unlock huge spreads. Logan also explains how he's shortened his deal cycle, when he walks away from overly complicated files, and why he's built a team and education platform to help other investors tackle these “wacky” but lucrative deals at scale.

Key Takeaways: Tariffs, Typhoons, & Turmoil: Derisking the Supply Chain In "Tariffs, Typhoons, & Turmoil: Derisking the Supply Chain with Moody's Andrei Quinn-Barabanov ", Joe Lynch and Andrei Quinn-Barabanov, Moody's lead Supply Chain expert, discuss the need to leverage predictive data and holistic strategies to mitigate complex, interconnected global risks. Financial Resilience Vetting: Supply chain managers must vet the financial health of all partners, not just customers. Use financial services (like Moody's) to assess stability. A stressed supplier is a critical performance risk, especially for industries like automotive and pharma. Geopolitical Planning & Diversification: Geopolitical risk is now a core factor, tied to tariffs and compliance. Aerospace and defense require scenario planning for policy changes and conflicts. Diversify sourcing regions to mitigate sanctions and trade duties. Digital and Physical Security: Threats include both physical cargo theft/freight fraud and sophisticated cyber security breaches targeting operations (OT). An attack on a 3PL or tech supplier (common in high-tech) can halt the chain. Invest in protocols covering digital and physical movement. Ethical & Legal Due Diligence: Pressure is high to ensure clean supply chains. Avoiding companies involved in slavery and/or money laundering requires rigorous checks. Non-compliance is a massive reputational and legal risk for sectors like pharma and energy. Climate-Informed Logistics: Weather risk is rising; use climate science in network design. In regions prone to typhoons or earthquakes, pre-qualify alternative routes, hold strategic buffer stock, and invest in resilient infrastructure. Transparency is Compliance: Achieving transparency and traceability is vital for issues like corruption and ethical sourcing. Modern tools (AI) are essential to trace components. This guarantees provenance for high-tech and ensures regulatory adherence for energy firms. Proactive Risk Modeling: Move beyond reaction to proactive risk modeling. Synthesize data (financial, geopolitical, ethical) to create risk scores for partners. This allows sectors like defense to build resilience by dual-sourcing and stress-testing their networks.  Learn More About Tariffs, Typhoons, & Turmoil: Derisking the Supply Chain Andrei's LinkedIn Moody's Moody's Cyber Report Moody's Auto Report The Logistics of Logistics Podcast If you enjoy the podcast, please leave a positive review, subscribe, and share it with your friends and colleagues.

Brad Rourke, CEO and Director of Scottie Resources (TSX.V:SCOT – OTCQB:SCTSF), joins me to share his key takeaways after just marketing at 3 European conferences, the 2025 AME award just announced for Thomas Mumford, President of Scottie Resources, and a review of recent Company news.  We get into recent exploration results, an update on the bulk sample progress, details of the recent capital raise, and a review of all the feasibility-level workstreams underway at the Scottie Gold Mine Project; located in the Golden Triangle of British Columbia.   After attending the New Orleans Investment Conference earlier this month, Brad marketed at conferences in Zurich, Frankfurt, and London, and came away quite encouraged. Overall, there appears to be a shift taking place at a number of these conferences with regards to the quality and sincerity of engagement from retail and institutional attendees.   Scottie Resource was notified last week that company President, Thomas Mumford, will be the recipient of one of the AME Awards, to be presented on January 28, 2026 at the Vancouver Convention Centre West. Thomas Mumford is the recipient of the 2025 AME H.H. "Spud" Huestis Award for excellence in prospecting and mineral exploration in B.C. and/or Yukon for his leadership in the discovery of Scottie Resources' Blueberry Contact Zone in Northwest B.C.   Brad highlights how proud their team is of Thomas, and believe this illustrates the quality and sector significance of the growing deposit at the Blueberry Contact Zone.   Next we discussed some recent drill results, including 8.28 g/t Gold over 22.35 m at P-Zone at Scottie Gold Mine Project.   This is a newer area of mineralized discovery, but Brad outlines that the majority of the 27,000 meters drilled in the 2025 exploration program were infill holes with the purpose of tightening the spacing between prior holes drilled, and upgrading categories from inferred to measured and indicated.   This is important as the company moves towards a Feasibility Study, and Brad highlights other permitting and engineering workstreams building towards that next economic report.   We then touched on the completed10,000-tonne surface bulk sample program where that mineralized material was sourced from the outcropping Bend Vein located on the north end of the Scottie Gold Mine Project. The crushing and transportation of this material has been completed moving many truckloads of material down the Granduc road to the Stewart bulk shipping facility without any concerns or challenges. The ship has been ordered to take this material to China in early December over to their offtake party, Ocean Partners. This bulk sample will be quite a valuable proof-of-concept on the Project, informing the company and investors on average grade, recovery amounts, as well as bringing in non-dilutive capital.   Wrapping up we discussed the news releases November 17th, which announced a non-brokered financing of up to 10,981,308 charitable flow-through shares of the Company at a price of $2.14 per Charity FT Share for gross proceeds of up to $23.5 Million. When this is combined with the roughly $10million in funds on the company treasury, and the upcoming payment on the bulk sample material, the company is more than cashed up for the upcoming work initiatives for next year. *     If you have any questions for Brad regarding Scottie Resources, then please email them in to me at Shad@kereport.com.   In full disclosure, Shad is a shareholder of Scottie Resources at the time of this recording and may choose to buy or sell shares at any time.   Click here to follow the latest news from Scottie Resources     For more market commentary & interview summaries, subscribe to our Substacks:   The KE Report: https://kereport.substack.com/   Shad's resource market commentary: https://excelsiorprosperity.substack.com/       Investment disclaimer: This content is for informational and educational purposes only and does not constitute investment advice, an offer, or a solicitation to buy or sell any security.

Die USA versuchen seit der Gründung der Volksrepublik China, sie in ihren Expansionsbestrebungen einzuschränken. 'Contain China' lautet die Devise. Je schwächer der Westen mit seinen moralischen 'Werten' wird, um so schlechter gelingt ihm das.

Spinocerebellar ataxia is a group of inherited, heterogeneous neurodegenerative diseases affecting coordination, speech, and vision. There are currently no FDA approved therapies for the more than 50 known types of SCA​, but there is a growing pipeline of therapeutic candidates. We spoke to Andrew Rosen, CEO of the National Ataxia Foundation, about the challenges of developing therapies for spinocerebellar ataxia, the critical role of patient-led organizations in early-stage research and advocacy, and the recent surge of therapeutic activity targeting these neurodegenerative conditions.

Galen Nelson, Chief Climate Officer at the Massachusetts Clean Energy Center (MassCEC) explains how the state is helping accelerate climate innovation through early-stage grants, equity investments, and infrastructure support. Galen outlines how MassCEC targets “market failures” where private investors hesitate—such as pilot and demonstration projects—and how these public investments help attract follow-on capital, inform policy, and build economic resilience. Galen shares examples across climate tech verticals including energy efficiency, carbon-intensive materials like cement, and urban heat resilience. He also discusses how MassCEC is responding to the shifting federal policy landscape, its new authority to fund climate adaptation technologies, and how the agency's public-private model balances innovation with accountability.

Elaine Ellingham, President and CEO of Omai Gold Mines (TSX.V: OMG) (OTCQB: OMGGF), joined me live at the New Orleans Investment Conference last week on November 4th, for a comprehensive exploration update expanding upon the updated Resource Estimate of 6.5 million ounces of gold in all categories, from the combined Wenot and Gilt Creek Projects at the Company's 100%-owned Omai Gold Project in Guyana, South America.   The Omai Property hosts two orogenic gold deposits: the shear-hosted Wenot Deposit and the adjacent intrusive-hosted Gilt Creek Deposit, with a combined updated MRE of: 2,121,000 ounces of gold (Indicated MRE),  averaging 2.07 g/t Au in 31.9Mt & 4,382,000 ounces of gold (Inferred MRE), averaging 1.95 g/t Au in 69.6Mt   Multiple drills are still turning with 64 drill holes that have been completed to date this year on the Omai property; totaling 30,297 meters of the targeted 40,000 meters from the current exploration program.  All these coming drill assays will then factor into updated  project Resource Estimate that will be incorporated into the upcoming Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) in Q1 of 2026.     This updated Preliminary Economic Assessment will be building upon the prior PEA that was released in 2024, which was only on 45% of the mineral inventory focused on the open-pit at Wenot.  That prior PEA did not yet include rest of the resources there at Wenot, nor did it include the underground project economics Gilt Creek.  The updated PEA slated for early next year will be much more advanced and will factor in the combined economics of the open-pit at Wenot, and the underground at Gilt Creek, representing the value proposition of the total project more accurately.   Elaine also highlighted some recent regional drilling completed at two near-surface exploration targets that were identified from trenching, geophysics and historical data. Assays are reported for 11 drill holes totalling 2,615m with 6 holes on the BBH target and 5 holes from the Camp Zone.   Highlights from the recent exploration holes include:   BBH Target Hole 25ODD-131 - intercepted 20.33 g/t Au over 5.30m, including 35.61 g/t Au over 3m   Camp Zone Target Hole 25ODD-135 – intercepted 2.72 g/t Au over 16.30m, including 9.05 g/t Au over 4m Hole 25ODD-136 – intercepted 2.05 g/t Au over 7.50m, including 11.32 g/t Au over 1m Hole 25ODD-138 – intercepted 0.85 g/t Au over 12.70m, including 1.32 g/t Au over 6m   Next we reviewed the status on the very long hole, over 2,000 meters in length, that was drilled through the underground deposit at Gilt Creek over into the area deep under the Wenot deposit, where the geological thesis is that there could also be deep sheer resources well below the known mineralization.  We discuss how this hole did finally encounter ~260 meters of sheer mineralization at depth, proving the thesis, but that the hole was still being processed at the assay lab.    Wrapping up we discussed the metallurgical testing, permitting process, and other derisking work on the Project, gathering data to be utilized in the upcoming PEA.   If you have any questions for Elaine regarding Omai Gold Mines, then please email those to me at Shad@kereport.com.   Click here to see the latest news from Omai Gold Mines.   For more market commentary & interview summaries, subscribe to our Substacks:   The KE Report: https://kereport.substack.com/ Shad's resource market commentary: https://excelsiorprosperity.substack.com/     Investment disclaimer:  This content is for informational and educational purposes only and does not constitute investment advice, an offer, or a solicitation to buy or sell any security.

Imagine turning uncertainty into your biggest advantage. That's the power of risk. In this episode, we're joined by Susan Schramm to uncover why risks so often get overlooked early in projects, the blind spots that trip up teams, and how a clear “why” can keep you steady when challenges hit. Susan also reveals the costly mistake of waiting until things go wrong to talk about risk—and what smart organizations do instead.

In this episode of the TPR podcast, hosts Matthew Jarvis and Ted Jenkin discuss the current state of the financial advisory industry, focusing on mergers and acquisitions (M&A), business valuations, and the importance of de-risking practices. They explore the misconceptions around payouts, the risks associated with market fluctuations, and the necessity for advisors to understand their own financial planning and wealth gaps. The conversation emphasizes the value of selling practices and the potential for growth when leveraging talent effectively. Ted shares insights on how advisors can navigate their careers and make informed decisions about their practices.

On this episode of Multifamily Mastery, John Casmon interviews Zach Winner, a former attorney turned full-time real estate investor who shares how he transitioned from single-family rentals to large-scale commercial real estate. Zach breaks down his "Value Add Plus" strategy, which focuses on buying newer properties from developers and increasing NOI through underutilized revenue streams and advantageous tax incentives, rather than heavy capex renovations. He emphasizes the importance of landlord-friendly markets and reveals some of the 25 metrics his team uses to vet markets—like the presence of STEM jobs and evolving tenant laws.
