He shares some of the benefits of doing it this way. [6:20] When does it make sense to join a team vs. being on your own? [8:00] What should agents be looking for before they join a team? [10:00] Does it make sense for more experienced real estate agents to join a team or is this a better move for a newbie? [14:45] Brandon shares some of his responsibilities as a team lead and how he helps support his staff. [21:20] How does financial compensation work when you're a part of a team? [22:15] No matter what deal you get yourself involved in, it has to be a win-win for everybody. [25:45] Brandon breaks down his team and how each member plays a critical role within the company.

In this audio interview, Fairfax County's Commonwealth Attorney Steve Descano (D) talks about everything happening in Virginia politics right now along with what is happening in the Republican recall movement against him and the status of that effort.Descano also talked about the recent statements from Attorney General-elect Jason Miyares when he expressed a desire to go into localities and intervene in cases when officials think a local prosecutor is mishandling a case. “My initial response was that it is silly,” Descano said. “It doesn't make any sense. Quite frankly what we have is Jason Miyares wants to cosplay as a prosecutor.” He also talks about what he would like to see from the Democratic Party moving forward. He believes one priority for the party should be to “focus on propelling our vision for the commonwealth, instead of presenting as counter to someone else.”  Descano finished by answering a question about whether or not he is considering running for attorney general in 2025.

A year and a half ago, a guy few people had ever heard of came on to this show's 44th episode to talk both about the business of police reform as well as his new book advocating plant-based eating. A former police officer, at the time of our interview he was the Borough President of Brooklyn and certainly had nearly no national profile. I mentioned in the episode that he was reportedly considering a run for New York City's mayor's office and that some people were even considering him a frontrunner. Well, those pundits turned out to be right, as Eric Adams eventually announced his mayoral candidacy, dispatched his Democratic rivals in the primary, including far better known candidates like Andrew Yang, and then overwhelmingly beat his Republican opponent on Election Day. Now, Adams is about to be inaugurated as the first vegan mayor of America's largest city, and his plant-based diet isn't incidental to his platform. He has big food policy plans, some of which he foreshadows in this interview, which we're re-releasing here as Episode 78 now that Eric is virtually a household name due to his successful mayoral bid. In this interview, Adams talks about how his experience of being beaten by the police while in custody as a black teenager led to him become a police officer himself for two decades, and then ultimately to a life in politics.  After serving in the police force, Adams was elected as a state senator in New York where he championed police reforms, including opposition to the then-stop-and-frisk policy, he served two terms as the chief executive of New York City's most populous borough, Brooklyn, and of course is now set to become mayor, with many pundits calling him the future of the Democratic party and even a potential future presidential contender.  In addition to discussing technologies from the private sector he believes could be helpful in preventing lethal use of force by police, we also discuss how Adams' adoption of a plant-based diet reversed his diabetes, gave him back his health, and what he thinks private businesses can do to advance public health. And yes, he talks about what he thinks government should be doing to promote better health outcomes through diet, so maybe this interview will serve as a nice foreshadowing of things to come as Adams prepares to take the reins of power in the Big Apple. Who knows, maybe they'll be eating more apples!

Matt called in and chatted about Sunday's Pats win.

Rabbi Jacobson will discuss the following topics: Chassidus applied to Tes Kislev What was the unique contribution of the Mitteler Rebbe and what can we learn from it? Where can I find more of your approach on applying the Torah to our personal lives? Lessons from Vayeitzei How do we apply Jacob's journey to our personal lives? Why were the matriarchs barren? What is the significance of dreams? Why was Jacob's marriage to Leah valid when it was a result of deception? Why do some people say Yankov and not Yaakov? Was it disrespectful for Yaakov to sleep on the holy ground that would house the Holy Temple? Who were Bilha and Zilpa? Should we support the new Mayor-elect Eric Adams? Toldos follow-up: Why was Yitzchak's prayer for children accepted and not Rivkah's? What right did Esau have to be angry at Yaakov? What should I do about my husband who no longer finds me appealing? How to navigate a difficult marriage? Chassidus question: Since gevuros will be higher than chasodim after Moshiach comes, should we be focusing today more on gevurah than on chesed?

Here's a question to ponder. “Can you love yourself in a hostile world?” This is the question Dr. Thema asks on this week's podcast. “We have to shift the individual, but we also have to shift the world in which the individual is living, so that we're not constantly having to push back against these messages but that we can change the larger story, that we're all worthy and deserving.” Dr. Thema Bryant-Davis is a psychologist, a professor at Pepperdine University, a minister, a dancer, and a slam poet. She is the director of the Culture and Trauma Research Lab, and has received numerous awards and recognition for her work in the fields of trauma, human trafficking, the psychology of women and anti-racism. She is also the President Elect of The American Psychological Association.  And the host of The Homecoming Podcast with Dr. Thema.  In this conversation Dr. Thema talks about the many plot twists in her personal and professional life. She delineates the intersection of ageism, sexism, and racism. She speaks about her calling to the ministry and her belief in the role of the arts in communal healing. Finally, she articulates her thoughts about the profession and practice of psychology. She even gifts us with a poem. Take a listen.  We were blown away.   Follow Dr. Thema Bryant-Davis on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter Connect with Dr. Thema Bryant-Davis on LinkedIn Learn more about Dr. Thema Bryant-Davis at drthema.com

Breast implants are a very popular surgery, especially for re-construction after breast cancer. Dr. Whitfield is an experienced, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon who specializes in oncologic breast reconstruction. But he was also the doctor to discover that some cases of autoimmunity, chronic fatigue, cognitive decline… start in contaminated breast implants! Dr. Whitfiled completed six years of surgical training at Indiana University Medical Center. Then a Plastic Surgery Residency. And then a Fellowship in Microsurgery and Aesthetic under Dr. William Zamboni. Dr. Whitfield began to have patients that were experiencing systemic illness, and when he removed their implants, called an “explant” procedure, he found identifiable pathogens in the tissue capsule. Treating these infections got rid of many of these systemic problems, such as chronic fatigue. This lead Dr. Whitfield to start to add more services for his clients, including nutritional and nutraceutical advice as well as personal genetic predisposition screening. Dr. Whitfield has completed over 4000 breast procedures since 2004 including over 500 implant removals.  He has the largest series of explant specimens with PCR testing. This tests the genetic sequences of pathogens, so is a highly sensitive test to identify “stealth” infections and find their appropriate medications to eradicate them. While serving as the President Elect of the Research Foundation Dr. Whitfiled also gave testimony at the FDA hearings in 2019 regarding Breast Implant iIlness (BII).

India Walton won the Democratic primary for Mayor of Buffalo, New York, in June. Her victory put her on track to become the first socialist mayor in the city's history, and the first nationwide in more than half a century. The only problem is, her opponent - current mayor Byron Brown - refuses to bow out, and is waging a well-funded write-in campaign in the hopes of keeping his post. How has a self-styled socialist gotten so close to running Buffalo? And why are some Democrats standing in her way?
