In this episode of the Note Closer Show, host Scott Carson sits down with real estate veteran Felipe Soares to dissect the realities of the 2026 fix-and-flip market. With over 18 years of experience and more than 400 rehabs under his belt, Soares provides a masterclass in transitioning from wholesaling to high-volume rehabbing without using your own capital.The Anatomy of a Successful FlipSoares emphasizes that while the business is simple, it is far from easy. He argues that the biggest mistake investors make is failing to truly dial in their After Repair Value (ARV). In a market where values can fluctuate by 10% or more, Soares suggests that if you cannot accurately predict the ARV, you shouldn't touch the deal. He also stresses the importance of the 78% rule; paying more than 78 cents on the dollar (including repairs and holding costs) often leads to negative returns for short-term projects.Efficiency is the name of the game in 2026. Soares reveals his "rule of thumb" for timelines: every $10,000 in scope requires two weeks of work. To maintain this pace, he operates his own licensed construction umbrella, managing four dedicated general contracting crews that work exclusively for him. By purchasing materials directly and leveraging "Pro" relationships at major retailers, he maximizes margins while earning millions of travel points to fund a first-class lifestyle.Key Topics Covered:The Power of Persistence: Soares shared how it took him 18 months to close his first $3,000 wholesale deal, proving that "putting in the reps" is the only way to reach $60 million in transactional volume.Precision Underwriting: Why the ARV is the ultimate "deal killer" and why investors must account for the 90-day FHA anti-flip seasoning rule when projecting exit timelines.Leveraging Technology: The use of AI tools like CubiCasa for instant floor plans and Richer Values for AI-driven appraisal data even in non-disclosure states like Texas.Relationship-Based Contracting: Why treating contractors "like family" and keeping them busy year-round is better than always chasing the lowest bid.High-Impact Aesthetics: Focusing budget on "Say Yes to the Dress" moments—specifically kitchens and master suites—using quartz counters, heated floors, and strategic lighting to trigger emotional buys.Felipe Soares' journey from an underage investor trying to sneak into networking events to a "Stud Muffin-aire" educator proves that success in real estate isn't about luck—it's about systems. By combining conservative underwriting with modern AI tools and a "boots on the ground" approach to project management, investors can navigate even the toughest market cycles. As Scott Carson notes, the only way to reach the top is to take these tactics and move into action.Watch the Original VIDEO HERE!Here is a list of websites and tools mentioned in this episode:CubiCasa: A free mobile app used to scan a house and generate a blueprint with actual measurements, CAD upgrades, and floor plans within minutes.Richer Values: An AI-powered tool that provides accurate After Repair Value (ARV) data and appraisal-level documentation, even in non-disclosure states like Texas.Real.Vision: A professional photography service used for high-end property marketing, providing interactive virtual tours, drone shots, and dedicated property mini-sites.Home Depot Pro & Managed Elite Account: Felipe leverages high-level "Pro" relationships and the "ProDesk" to get bulk discounts, special pricing on paint, and managed deliveries.Floor & Decor Pro: Used for interior design coordination and logistical management of flooring materials across multiple stores.REOLink: An LTE-based security camera system that runs on SIM cards and battery power, allowing for remote monitoring of job sites without Wi-Fi.Book a Call With Scott HERE!Sign up for the next FREE One-Day Note Class HERE!Sign up for the WCN Membership HERE!Sign up for the next Note Buying For Dummies Workshop HERE!

On the Glossy Podcast, senior fashion reporter Danny Parisi and international reporter Zofia Zwieglinska break down some of the biggest fashion news of the week. This week, Zwieglinska sat down with stylist Courtney Mays, who has styled some of the biggest names in the NBA, including LeBron James, Chris Paul and DeAndre Jordan. With the NBA All-Star Weekend around the corner and more attention than ever on players' style, Mays spoke about the convergence of sport and fashion and the work that goes into dressing an NBA player.

Hosts: Jake Lancaster MD, Chief Medical Information Officer and Amanda Comer DNP, System Director, Advanced Practice ProvidersGuest: Zachary Nahmias, MD, Dermatologist Summary:In this episode of Right Care Baptist, host Dr. Jake Lancaster (Chief Medical Officer, Baptist Medical Group) and Amanda Comer, NP (Chief Advanced Practice Officer) sit down with Dr. Zachary Nahmias, a board-certified dermatologist at NEA Baptist Clinic in Jonesboro, Arkansas, to discuss the most common dermatology referrals from primary care and how to manage them more effectively.Dr. Nahmias breaks down his top five referral categories — suspicious skin lesions, psoriasis, eczema/contact dermatitis, adult acne, and hard-to-place rashes — and offers practical guidance for each. The conversation covers red flags for skin cancer (flat irregular lesions, bleeding, pain, and the "ugly duckling" that stands out from surrounding spots), when and how to screen patients, and the importance of gathering UV exposure and family history before referring.The discussion then shifts to rashes, where Dr. Nahmias encourages primary care providers to treat confidently when they recognize common conditions like psoriasis, eczema, and seborrheic dermatitis rather than deferring to a 6-month dermatology wait. He highlights common pitfalls including diagnostic anchoring, the risk of topical steroids masking or feeding fungal infections, the dangers of systemic steroids for psoriasis causing a rebound "whiplash," and misusing high-potency topical steroids in sensitive skin fold areas. He walks through distinguishing tinea from eczema by looking for a leading scale with an erythematous base, and recommends Lotrisone as an underappreciated option when the diagnosis is unclear on the feet and lower legs.On drug-related rashes, Dr. Nahmias discusses the challenge of identifying culprit medications in patients on multiple drugs, common inpatient offenders like vancomycin and sulfa drugs, and serious reactions including Stevens-Johnson syndrome and DRESS syndrome.The episode wraps with advice on building relationships with local dermatology offices, taking clinical photos to share with referrals, knowing when to send a patient urgently (vasculitic rashes, sudden whole-body eruptions with systemic symptoms), and how the VisualDx diagnostic platform can help primary care providers narrow differentials and select first-line treatments.CME Credit Info:Link to complete brief survey and claim CME credit: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/C55LKSYCME credit is available for up to 3 years after the stated release dateContact CEOD@bmhcc.org if you have any questions about claiming credit.

Gage shares his best practices for attending Natural Products Expo West – the biggest trade show in the United States for the better-for-the-world product industry! Tune in to hear 10 tips for making the most of the show, based on Gage's ~15 years of experience attending Expo West as a brand, packaging, booth, and campaign designer who's helped some of the industry most beloved brands stand out at the show. Tune into the episode or read below for his top tips! You can also download a copy here for easy reference later. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1eBpd7dVhxB-30-yPrvQ8Mn8nAar5oYOUx6fX1B3Wevc/edit?usp=sharing. See you at Expo West!1. Define Your Target ROIHave a clear goal and outcomes in mind because the event is what you make it.Rightsize your investment. There's no shame in starting small, like a shared booth, table at StartUp CPG, sampling out of a backpack, etc. Even big brands need to be cautious of their spending because it adds up fast. But if you want to make a big splash, be willing to spend the money on the right opportunity.Aim to have your agenda 60% planned, but 40% flexible, because you never know who might pop up with some exciting and unexpected.2. Plan AheadBook your accommodations early, because everything near the Convention Center fills up quickly and gets very expensive.Find the sessions you want to attend, people you want to meet, and booths you want to visit through the app and social media posts, but also decide what's non-negotiable and what's optional for you, because you will get exhausted/overwhelmed.Make dinner reservations, book event venues, and meeting rooms in advance because there are a ton of competing groups looking for limited time slots.Order all your materials, swag, outfits, etc., well ahead of time because shipping delays happen, and you don't want to be caught empty-handed or paying the steep price to rush reprint in Anaheim.3. Be Clear & CompellingHave your 5-second pitch and main talking points ready, because there are way too many people and not enough time to stumble or be vague.Bring the energy, passion, and vibes because that attracts people to your booth, lifts everyone's spirits, and makes you memorable.Ask lots of questions to get to know people and how you can help each other. It can reveal incredibly powerful information for you both.4. Crush Your BoothMake sure it's clear what you're selling and what makes it special, otherwise your booth is likely to be missed (unless you're drawing attention, see below).Be unique but authentic, have a compelling story or theme for the show, and be engaging and fun as people walk up.Have events or activities at your booth that attract a crowd, and bring enough samples/goodies to go around. Tip: people are drawn to anything that's more than a tiny bite on a toothpick or a generic tote bag.Have a method for politely exiting conversations, like handing them off to an associate or introducing them to another guest, so you can be available when that critical retailer, investor, broker, or press badge arrives.5. Draw AttentionApply for a Nexty, participate in the Pitch Slam, or partner on an innovation with another popular brand. Do things that will make you more visible.Send out press releases, make announcements on social media, and offer the press a unique and exciting story to draw them to your booth.Invite an industry rockstar or celebrity to your booth for a meet and greet.Host a happy hour with a prominent group, like B Corp.6. Connect With Your CommunityAttend events hosted by your membership communities (B Corp, 1% for the Planet, Regenerative Organic, Upcycled, Non-GMO, Fair Trade, Climate Neutral, Climate Collaborative, Naturally Network, Purpose Pledge, Startup CPG, Project Potluck, :INCLUDED, etc.)Post updates in your preferred social channel (pictures, top finds, great insights, events, selfies, etc), tag people, and comment on others' posts! Wear your affiliations (shirts, hats, pins, stickers, lanyards, badges, etc).7. Take Care of YourselfHydrate and eat real food, or at least snack your way to well-balanced meals or your stomach and energy levels will regret it later.Dress comfortably and in layers. You'll be walking a lot, in and out of buildings, and the weather can change quickly. Bonus: dress memorably.Rest your feet and your back whenever you can. They will be sore.Get full nights of sleep when you can, and take some downtime in between things to recharge your batteries and brain.8. Be Brave, Be ActiveMeet people! That's why you're going. Don't just hide in your hotel, your booth, or in your co-worker/friend group. Get out there.Attend happy hours, events, and dinners even if you worked the booth all day, because that's the time to make real human connections.Go talk to that hero, buyer, investor, press, celebrity, etc because that's why they're here, and why you're here.9. Don't Try to Do it AllThe show is way too big to see every booth. Decide what's most important. It can help to pick a theme to focus, like a category, certification, stage of business, etc.There are too many sessions, events, and happy hours. Pick a focus and try to limit your FOMO. Divide and conquer with your team if you can.If you've been going as long as I have, you'll wish you could spend time with all your friends, collaborators, clients, podcast guests, and more… but it's best to be at peace with what you can do instead of worrying about what you can't.10. Follow Through Take notes on business cards, in an app, or wherever works for you because you won't remember every conversation, idea, or to-do item.Digest what you learned, who you met, and how you want to follow up each evening before that information gets too foggy.Make social posts each day, because you'll be too burned out and busy to catch up on social media after the show.Follow up with people during and after the show to solidify that new connection.Links:Natural Products Expo West: https://www.expowest.com/en/home.html10 Tips to Crush Expo West Download: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1eBpd7dVhxB-30-yPrvQ8Mn8nAar5oYOUx6fX1B3Wevc/edit?usp=sharing.

Chris Phillips, former head of the National Counter Terrorism Security Office, and Debbie Hayton, journalist and author, come on The Julia Hartley-Brewer Show to discuss two tragedies - a stabbing in London and a school shooting in Canada.Two boys, aged 12 and 13, have been left seriously injured after the attack in Brent, London. It is currently being investigated by a counter-terrorism unit. Chris Phillips discusses how to reduce knife crime, how to keep children safe, and how to improve policing to prevent incidents like this occurring again. Debbie Hayton discusses the Canadian school shooting, after the killer was described as a “gunperson” and an active shooter alert was described as a “female in a dress”. Nine people have died and twenty-five have been injured in the attack in a small village in British Columbia. The shooter was found dead with self-inflicted wounds. Rumours swirled about the perpetrator's sexual identity - which at the time of publishing was yet to be confirmed. Also: Chris Phillips on how pro-palestine protests are inhibiting officers from doing their job - as a report reveals that they are only on the beat for three days a week because of the demands of managing regular demonstrations. And Debbie Hayton on the Scottish National Party spending £1m on legal fees to defend gender self-identification in Scotland. Julia Hartley-Brewer broadcasts on Talk from Monday to Thursday, 10AM to 1PM. Available on YouTube and streaming platforms, along with DAB+ radio and your smart speaker. Hosted on Acast.

Cindy Esliger unpacks the reality about first impressions and how they can quietly make or break a professional trajectory at work. While we tell ourselves that what's on the inside is what matters, the uncomfortable truth about first impressions can't be ignored. In a work setting, the way we carry ourselves, our posture, expression, and even choice of clothing can all determine how seriously we are taken. Cindy explores the subtle cues we may send without realizing it, the consequences of neglecting our professional presence, and shares strategies for taking back control without acting.     It's simply a fact that it takes less than 30 seconds for people to form opinions about us based solely on a first glance. That's not enough time to say hello or learn anything about us. So neglecting how we present ourselves can have long-term consequences. Cindy outlines five of those consequences when we ignore how we are perceived: 1. We get underestimated, 2. We get overlooked, 3. We get misunderstood, 4. We send mixed signals, and 5. We miss our chance to connect if we're closed off. Everything from our posture and facial expressions contributes to first impressions. Body language is a key part of communication. We want to be authentic, but aware of how we are seen. Do we fidget? Avoid eye contact? Dress to hide? Cindy shares five strategies for refining our presence: 1. Start with one small change, 2. Let our clothes work for us, not against us, 3. Use eye contact, posture, and a smile as tools, 4. Use our hands with purpose, and 5. Don't perform confidence, build it. Resources discussed in this episode:Guide to Making A Powerful First ImpressionAstronomic AudioConfidence Collective—Contact Cindy Esliger Career Confidence Coaching: website | instagram | facebook | linkedin | email Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

An outdated theme (e.g., last updated in August 2025 when we're in 2026) can cost you visibility because the algorithm may perceive your site as less maintained and current.Q3: What is Theme Liquid in Shopify?A: Theme Liquid is Shopify's templating language that allows you to customize code within the closed-source platform. It's where you would add custom elements like pop-ups, tracking codes, or other modifications that aren't available through standard theme settings.Q4: Do I need to create a sitemap for my Shopify store?A: No. Shopify automatically generates and maintains your sitemap as soon as you publish pages, products, collections, and posts. This is a major advantage over WordPress, where you need to install and configure sitemap plugins and ensure there are no conflicts.Q5: What's the difference between Google Search Console and Google Analytics?A: Google Search Console is for submitting your sitemap and monitoring how search engines crawl and index your site, while Google Analytics tracks visitor behavior and traffic sources. Both are important, but they serve different purposes. You must submit your sitemap to Search Console for proper SEO.Q6: How do I fix the Wix tag indexing problem?A: Go to your Wix dashboard, click Settings (bottom left corner), navigate to SEO Settings, find the Blog Tags section, and disable the "no index" robots.txt setting that's enabled by default. This allows your blog tags to be indexed by search engines.Q7: Why should I update my footer copyright year?A: The footer copyright year (e.g., "© 2026") is on-page text that AI and search engines scan. An outdated year (like "© 2023") signals that your site may not be actively maintained, even if you've updated content elsewhere. It's a simple but important ranking signal.Q8: How should I structure product URLs for better SEO?A: Use strategic placement of descriptive words and numbers. For example, "red-roses-12-piece" is better than "12-piece-red-roses" because users scanning search results will see "red roses" first, then the number variants (6, 12, 36), creating pattern disruption that draws attention and improves pre-purchase clicks.Q9: What is Open Graph (OG) and why does it matter?A: Open Graph tags control how your content appears when shared on social media, messaging apps, and other platforms. When you send a link via WhatsApp or iMessage and see a preview with title and image, that's Open Graph data. Properly configured OG tags ensure your content looks professional when shared.Q10: Should I choose Shopify, Squarespace, or WordPress for my business?A: Choose Shopify if you're running a product-based e-commerce store and need robust selling features. Choose Squarespace if you need a quick, aesthetically pleasing site for content, portfolios, or small-scale selling. Choose WordPress if you need maximum customization, flexibility, and control (open-source), but be prepared for more technical management.Q11: What is NAP and why is it important?A: NAP stands for Name, Address, Phone number. For websites, "address" includes your domain (www address). Consistent NAP information across your website and online directories is crucial for local SEO and helps search engines verify your business legitimacy.Q12: Can I get a free website audit from Favour?A: Yes! Favour offers surface-level website audits to help identify issues like broken links, slow pages, and basic SEO problems. The audit supports multiple platforms including Shopify, Squarespace, WordPress, Webflow, Wix, Magento, Tilda, and Duda.

The world has tried to humble Kim, but she can't seem to bend the knee.In this episode, Kim defines confidence as believing the sh*t that comes out of your mouth by proving to yourself you're not full of it, closing the gap between who you say you are and who you actually are. Labeled “too confident” and “so full of herself,” she makes the case that every woman should be exactly that: full of her goals, dreams, and the life she's building. From being raised by a “don't let them see you sweat” mom to always feeling like an outsider, Kim breaks down how she builds and rebuilds confidence and why outliers, not insiders, are the ones who end up on top.Her biggest takeaway?

How a Story of Liberation Was Used to Exclude What if the Exodus wasn't just a story of freedom… but also a story of exclusion? Key Takeaways Redemption stories are rarely neutral—they are often weapons. The charge of being "left behind" usually says more about the accuser than the accused. A story about leaving becomes an excuse for not moving at all.

This one goes everywhere. We kick things off on MLK Day talking legacy, performative “holiday energy,” and why certain political commentators always find a way to make everything worse. From there, we get into comments about MLK, the internet's selective outrage machine, and why it feels like corporations (and the NFL) do PR calculus instead of having a conscience. Then we spiral (in the best way) into: the files, who would actually hurt to see on the list, whether the conspiracies are getting harder to dismiss, and why “when they start hiding it” is when everybody locks in. In the second half, Jordan breaks down getting called “Temu Drake” at Duckworth's, dealing with bots and hate comments, and we talk about professionalism in comedy after a local open mic debate goes sideways online. We wrap with thoughts on standup movies that don't feel real, Ryan Davis on Shannon Sharpe, and upcoming show dates — including Comics React Live at The Comedy Zone.  COMICS REACT LIVE — Feb 19 (Charlotte Comedy Zone) A standup + music video reaction experience inspired by the 2000s countdown era.

Germany holds the world's second biggest national gold reserves after the US, of which approximately €164bn (£122bn) worth – 1,236 tonnes – is stored in New York. Emanuel Mönch, a leading economist and former head of research at Germany's federal bank, the Bundesbank, called for the gold to be brought home, saying it was too “risky” for it to be kept in the US under the current administration.  “In the interest of greater strategic independence from the US, the Bundesbank would therefore be well advised to consider repatriating the gold.” Source: zerohedge.com Trump Suggests He Can Send $2,000 Tariff Rebate Checks Without Congress  Bessent has also suggested the $2,000 benefit might not take the form of direct cash disbursements.  the Treasury secretary said while he had not yet finalized details with Trump, the “dividend could come in lots of forms,” such as through tax reductions already under consideration—including exemptions for tips, overtime pay, and Social Security benefits, among other deductions.
