On this edition of The Federalist Radio Hour, Alvin Lui, President of Courage Is A Habit, joins Federalist Senior Elections Correspondent Matt Kittle to discuss how the left weaponizes the empathy of normal Americans to force inclusion through "affordable housing," even if it destroys thriving cities. They discuss how this affects the housing market, crime, and education, and how the same misguided empathy has led droves of American women to stand alongside a confessed murderer. You can find Lui's organization Courage Is A Habit here. The FDRLST Media Foundation is a nonprofit, and we depend entirely on our listeners and readers — not corporations.

Max Scott Returns: The €1.83m Dublin Deal – All Money Out & €3,486 Monthly Cash Flow Max Scott is back on Deals Deals Deals for the third time, having previously joined us on Episodes 64 and 103 back in 2022. A lot has happened since then. In this episode, we catch up with Max on how his property journey and business have developed over the last four years - including the publication of his book, Why Property, now available on Amazon - before getting into the numbers behind one of his latest Dublin deals. The focus is, 111 Seville Place, Dublin 1, an eight-studio residential block plus garage, purchased for €1,075,000 with approximately €75,000 spent on refurbishment.  Rather than carrying out a major refurbishment all at once, the work was completed on a phased, unit-by-unit basis. This meant rental income could continue while the studios were improved and rents increased towards full market levels.  Just six months after purchase, the property was refinanced at a valuation of €1,830,275, returning the investor funds in full and creating €564,053 of equity.  And the result isn't just equity on paper. The deal now produces €3,486 per month in cash flow - with no money left in the deal. The Deal at a Glance Purchase price: €1,075,000 Refurbishment: €75,000 Project turnaround: 6 months Refinance valuation: €1,830,275 Investor funds: Returned in full Money left in: €0 Equity created: €564,053 Annual rent roll: €159,600 Monthly cash flow: €3,486 Valuation yield: 8.72% Net yield on cost: 10.3%  We also talk about Max's wider journey, what's changed since his previous appearances on the podcast and why he decided to put his experience and thoughts on property into his book, Why Property. This is a great example of what effective capital recycling can look like: buy, improve, refinance, return all the money invested and retain a cash-flowing asset with substantial equity.

How does an agricultural idea go from someone's garage or university lab to something farmers actually want to use? AgLaunch's Margaret Oldham and North Central Iowa farmer Mark take Farm4Profit behind the scenes of a startup accelerator built around putting farmers directly into the innovation process. Through AgLaunch Farmers LLC and its partnership with AgVentures Alliance, farmers help select startups, conduct real-world trials, provide feedback, and determine whether a product actually delivers value. Instead of simply receiving a free product for their time and acres, participating farmers can earn equity tied to the startups they're helping develop. The group discusses why farmer involvement is so valuable, what causes startups to fail, bootstrapping versus venture capital, and a newly licensed $50 million Farmers Innovation Fund designed to help support agricultural startups while keeping farmers and rural America at the center of the mission. Mark also shares real examples from his own farm, including Grain Weevil and Spornado, and how emerging technology can address everything from grain-bin safety to earlier detection of crop diseases. Ultimately, the episode asks an important question: if farmers provide the land, equipment, time, data, and knowledge that help make new technology successful, shouldn't they have some skin in the game too?

NIC MAP CEO Arick Morton joins HECM World for Industry Leader Insights to unpack the scale of America's emerging senior housing challenge — and why housing equity may become a central part of the solution. NIC MAP estimates the senior housing sector could require more than $1 trillion in capital deployment through 2050, while annual development remains far below the level likely needed to keep pace with demand. In this first part of our conversation, Morton discusses: Why senior housing development has struggled to keep pace Where the capital for future growth could come from Why older senior housing stock may provide a short-term “pressure relief valve” Why affordability is a balance-sheet issue, not simply an income issue The role housing equity could play in funding senior housing How reverse mortgages and other home-equity solutions may help older Americans remain at home longer or fund a future housing transition Why timing and liquidity can become critical when a senior needs to move urgently Morton tells HECM World that housing equity is “the central piece of the story” for many older households — and says reverse mortgages and other home-equity solutions are “absolutely a part of the solution mix.” Read the full article: https://hecmworld.com/2026/08/31/industry-leader-insights-senior-housing-shortage-home-equity-retirement/ Access the NIC MAP report: https://info.nicmap.com/cp-mf-core-report-21aug26-shmarketoutlook.html 

Introduction:   Growth equity can open the door to the next stage of an MGA's growth. But the bigger question is how that capital can be used to strengthen underwriting, accelerate technology and build a delegated business that can compete at greater scale.  Joining Robin Merttens on the podcast, Rebecca Ince, Chief Operating Officer at Carbon Underwriting, and Mark Oldroyd, Chief Technology Officer at Carbon Underwriting, explain what comes next following Carbon's growth equity investment from FTV Capital.  Rebecca explains why finding the right investment partner was about more than funding. With Carbon growing from £150 million of premium in 2023 to £450 million this year, its next phase requires greater investment in technology alongside ambitions to expand further into the US. FTV's experience across financial technology and US insurance made both areas important factors in the decision.  The discussion explores how that investment could accelerate Carbon's technology strategy, particularly its proprietary Graphene analytics platform. Mark explains why centralised, structured data provides a strong foundation for AI and where the technology is already creating practical value, including claims matching. He also argues that MGAs need to distinguish between technology they should build themselves and capabilities they can buy, while protecting the underwriting expertise, workflows and intellectual property that differentiate them.  They also discuss why bordereaux are unlikely to disappear anytime soon, despite widespread appetite for richer and more frequent data exchange. Rather than waiting for the entire ecosystem to change, Mark explains why the opportunity is to remove friction from collecting and standardising data, allowing insurers to focus more attention on the insights and decisions that come from it.  Looking ahead, Rebecca explains why Carbon plans to remain focused on delegated underwriting while expanding into new classes and geographies, particularly the US. They also explore how analytics can help identify rate-adequate opportunities as conditions soften and what it takes to protect culture as a business rapidly scales beyond 100 people.  In this episode you'll learn:  Why Carbon chose growth equity and what it looked for beyond capital when selecting an investment partner  How centralised, structured data creates a stronger foundation for applying AI across underwriting and claims  Where AI is already delivering practical value within Carbon's insurance workflows  How MGAs can decide which technology capabilities to build and which to buy  Why proprietary underwriting expertise, workflows and data are becoming increasingly important sources of differentiation  Why bordereaux are unlikely to disappear from delegated underwriting in the next three to five years  What is preventing carriers and MGAs from exchanging richer, more frequent data  Why Carbon sees the US as its next major growth opportunity  How analytics can help underwriters find rate-adequate business as market conditions soften  What rapidly growing MGAs can do to protect their culture as they scale  Hear more from Carbon at The Golden Age of MGAs  Carbon is sponsoring InsTech's upcoming The Golden Age of MGAs? Building to win in any market cycle event on 24 September. Rebecca will moderate the Capital diversification and the resilient MGA panel, joined by Carbon Co-Founder and Managing Director Ben Laidlaw, CFC Underwriting's Philippa Berry and Gallagher Re's Jane Fenton. They'll explore practical approaches to multi-carrier strategies, long-term capacity agreements, fronting, reinsurance access and patient capital structures that can withstand a full market cycle.  Find out more and register here.

Equitable access to healthcare, and more specifically diagnostic testing, remains elusive globally, negatively impacting the health and wellbeing of all people. A not-so-distant illustration was access to testing during the COVID-19 pandemic, when testing sites globally, including here in the United States, underserved the very populations who bore a disproportionate burden of COVID-19 cases and deaths. There is a tremendous opportunity for research on diagnostic access, as well as the epidemiology and diseases that impact underrepresented groups, in clinical microbiology. In 2026, JCM launched a new section, entitled "Diagnostic Access and Equity". In today's episode of Editors in Conversation, I'm joined by the Editor overseeing this section, Dr. Ellie Theel, and one of our editorial board members, Dr. Shawn Lockhart of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, to discuss diagnostic access, equity and what the clinical microbiology community is doing to move the needle on these issues.

Cindy Weinstein was just twenty-five when her father, Jerry, was diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer's disease in his mid-fifties. Decades later, she returned to those memories in Finding the Right Words: A Story of Literature, Grief, and the Brain, written with renowned neurologist Dr. Bruce Miller. Cindy is the Eli and Edythe Broad Professor of English at the California Institute of Technology and an Atlantic Fellow for Equity in Brain Health. Her work brings together two worlds: the personal experience of loving a parent through dementia and the neuroscience that helps explain what is happening inside the brain. In this conversation, Cindy and Nicole talk about anticipatory grief, the moments in caregiving that stay frozen in time, and what it means to grieve someone who is still alive. Cindy shares how studying neuroscience changed the way she understood her father, why literature helped her make sense of experiences science alone couldn't explain, and how revisiting some of her most painful memories eventually allowed her to recover the joyful ones, too. They also explore a question at the heart of dementia caregiving: When memory, language, and recognition change, what happens to love? This is a conversation about Alzheimer's, but even more, it's about being a daughter. About grief that doesn't follow a timeline. About keeping each other company through experiences we cannot fix. And about remembering the whole person, not simply the disease that changed them.   To learn more about Cindy and her work at https://www.professorcindy.com/   We are not medical professionals and are not providing any medical advice.

Your work doesn't have to stay the same just because the version you've built has been successful. As your life, capacity, interests, and priorities change, the way you coach and the business you build can change right along with them.      In this episode of the Unfinished series, I'm joined by my friend, colleague, and mentor, Trudi Lebrón, for a wide-ranging conversation about her work and how she approaches coaching. We explore Trudi's expansive definition of coaching, what makes equity-centered coaching different, and how to hold a vision for your clients without deciding for them what that vision should be.                      For full show notes, transcript, and to submit your question, go to: lindsaydotzlafcoaching.com/304                    Learn more about The Complete Coach here: lindsaydotzlafcoaching.com/the-complete-coach                   Follow along over on Instagram: instagram.com/lindsaydotzlaf   Learn more about Trudi's work here: trudilebron.com

On today's episode, Alastair MacDonald joins Dr. Mark Costes during the Dental Success Summit 2026 for a powerful conversation on dental practice partnerships, equity, growth, and retention. Together, they unpack why many partnerships fail, especially when they are built from fear, scarcity, or a desire to retain an associate before that person is truly qualified for ownership.  Alastair explains the difference between giving equity as a reaction and designing a partnership with clear incentives, contribution, responsibility, authority, and long-term alignment. He also breaks down why high-producing associates are not always the best ownership candidates, how to think about qualification versus qualities, and why owners must use math, structure, and honest conversations to determine whether partnership, increased compensation, or another path makes the most sense.

El episodio 124 llegó con datos, estrategia y verdades incómodas.Arrancamos con turismo. La idea de "planificarte el viaje completo con AI" fue pitcheada 50 veces y nunca funcionó. La razón es simple: la gente disfruta planificar sus viajes. El consejo es claro — no te metas en turismo a menos que vengas de la industria o tengas una audiencia enorme. La excepción que confirma la regla: CookUnity, el argentino que factura 750 millones de dólares con viandas de chefs y duplicó su revenue año a año.Después, la pregunta que más llega de la audiencia: cómo vender tu startup sin anunciarlo. La respuesta es empezar desde el día uno. Hacerte amigo de tus compradores estratégicos antes de necesitarlos. Cuando llegue el momento, ya te conocen, ya vieron tu progreso y ya confían en vos.Luego el personaje de la semana: un congresista americano que quiere cobrarle impuestos al equity no realizado de los founders, invirtió 30 millones en Moderna un mes antes de que anunciara la vacuna de COVID y usa AI para responder sus mails públicos. Todo en el mismo señor.Cerramos con el estudio más interesante del episodio: Sequoia analizó 20 años de startups y descubrió que el hype de cada año casi nunca coincide con la compañía más valiosa de ese año. Cripto era el tema en 2016 y la compañía más valiosa fue Cerebras. La lección para founders e inversores es apostar a lo que viene, no a lo que está en boca de todos.

How do you protect a lifetime of savings when tax laws and changing life goals shift your priorities? In this episode of Money Matters, Scott and Pat explore wealth preservation, from managing concentrated stock positions and real estate decisions to sophisticated tax planning. In this episode: The $5.6M Property Test: Scott and Pat analyze a caller's plan to carry three homes in retirement. They discuss “carry risk” and why even a $5.6 million net worth doesn't automatically justify expanding a real estate portfolio. Savings Trade-Offs at 52: A caller asks how to balance college costs for two children with the long-term goal of maximizing 401(k) contributions and Roth IRA savings. Managing Concentrated Stock: Tom Kaiser, Allworth's Director of Equity and Option Management, explains how options strategies such as collars can help protect concentrated positions without immediately selling appreciated stock and realizing capital gains. Step-Up in Basis: Scott and Pat explain how this powerful tax provision can reduce or eliminate unrealized capital gains on inherited assets—and why it can play an important role in wealth preservation and estate planning. For investors who have accumulated significant assets, wealth preservation isn't simply about avoiding risk. It's about understanding the trade-offs between taxes, spending, investments, and the legacy you ultimately want to leave.

In a shocking turn of events, a prestigious professor's life came crashing down, leaving behind a trail of deceit and controversy. This episode delves into the story of Jason R. Day, a 41-year-old black professor at Cambridge University, who was accused of plagiarizing his academic work and lying about his achievements. His memoir, set to be published by Simon and Schuster, was riddled with outlandish claims that raised eyebrows and sparked a heated debate about the dangers of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) policies. The speaker discusses how DEI policies can lead to the dilution of exceptionalism and the promotion of individuals who may not be qualified for certain positions. They argue that this approach can be detrimental to individuals who are truly talented and deserving of recognition. The episode also touches on the role of institutions like Cambridge University and publishers like Simon and Schuster in perpetuating this culture of deceit. The speaker highlights the case of Jason R. Day, who was given a professorship despite his questionable credentials and a memoir that was later found to be riddled with lies. They argue that this is a prime example of how DEI policies can lead to the promotion of individuals who are not truly qualified for their positions. The episode also explores the consequences of this approach, including the devastating impact on individuals like Jason R. Day. Join us as we explore the darker side of DEI policies and the consequences of promoting individuals who may not be qualified for certain positions. Listen to this episode to hear the speaker's thought-provoking analysis and discussion on this timely and important topic.

In this episode of Ask Mike Mondays, Paul and Michael discuss improving apartment fundamentals, lender-driven sales, distressed opportunities, and why today's reset in values could create an attractive buying window. They also introduce the Old Capital Accelerator Program and Michael shares three simple rules he's learned from decades of multifamily investing. Old Capital Accelerator Program Paul introduces the Old Capital Accelerator, a hands-on multifamily education program designed to help investors move from learning about apartments to evaluating and pursuing real opportunities. Participants work with actual deals, learn underwriting and financing, understand due diligence and operations, and gain access to experienced owners and industry professionals. The focus is real-world education and experience—not promoting a particular sponsor or investment. Learn more: oldcapitalaccelerator.com What's Happening in Multifamily? The market remains unpredictable. Many sellers still have yesterday's pricing expectations, while buyers are underwriting based on today's higher interest rates, expenses, and required returns. Meanwhile, lenders are increasingly influencing which properties come to market—sometimes pushing over-leveraged borrowers toward a sale or foreclosure. Some properties are now trading near values last seen years ago, creating what Michael describes as a potential "lost decade" in apartment values for certain owners. Are Fundamentals Improving? Despite negative headlines, Michael is seeing encouraging signs across SPI Advisory's portfolio: • DFW properties are now 90%+ occupied • Portfolio-wide occupancy is approximately 95% • Apartment absorption remains strong across DFW, Austin, and San Antonio • New construction is slowing • Concessions could decline as excess supply is absorbed The key point: apartment values have fallen significantly, but renter demand remains strong. Is This a Buying Opportunity? Investor sentiment remains cautious, but fundamentals are beginning to stabilize. Today's buyers may benefit from lower valuations, less competition, improving occupancy, slowing new supply, available debt capital, and significant tax benefits. Equity remains difficult to raise, which could create an advantage for experienced investors with capital and the ability to execute. Michael believes today's risk-adjusted opportunities—particularly in workforce housing—may be among the most attractive in years. Michael Becker's 3 Rules of Multifamily Investing Rule #1: Don't buy in the hood. A cheap property isn't necessarily a good investment. Rule #2: The business isn't always fair. Track record, credibility, and relationships matter. Rule #3: Don't be a jerk. Multifamily is a relationship business. Your reputation follows you—and compounds over time. Key Takeaway The multifamily market isn't suddenly easy again. Distressed properties can be complicated, equity remains challenging, and buyers and sellers still don't always agree on value. But values have reset, occupancy is improving, new supply is slowing, and debt capital is available. For disciplined investors, this could create one of the more interesting acquisition windows we've seen in years.   Old Capital Accelerator: oldcapitalaccelerator.com SPI Advisory: spiadvisory.com

Bill Stone, Founder and CEO of SS&C How do you keep buying companies without eventually losing control of the company you built?  SS&C Technologies founder and CEO Bill Stone has spent four decades avoiding exactly that. Rather than treating each acquisition as an isolated transaction, SS&C built a system around protecting ownership, using debt when the economics make sense, paying it down quickly, and creating enough value after close to preserve capacity for the next deal. Bill walks through the decisions behind acquisitions including FMC, GlobeOp, and Blue Prism, his experience taking SS&C private with Carlyle, and the discipline that has allowed the company to keep acquiring across changing markets. What You'll Learn How Bill Stone kept 15% of SS&C through 100 acquisitions The exact revenue-per-head and EBITDA thresholds SS&C screens for Why strategic buyers almost always outbid private equity How to tell a motivated seller from one just fishing for a premium When rollover equity can help retain the management team How Carlyle overruled Stone's own unanimous board vote The one rule that makes Stone walk from a deal every time   Every financing decision changes what you can do on the next deal. If you're financing an acquisition and don't have a hard leverage ceiling you actually stick to, DealPilot, powered by M&A Science, has the deal guidance layer to help you set one before you're over-levered on the next deal. ____________________ This episode of M&A Science is presented by DealRoom.

In a shocking turn of events, a prestigious professor's life came crashing down, leaving behind a trail of deceit and controversy. This episode delves into the story of Jason R. Day, a 41-year-old black professor at Cambridge University, who was accused of plagiarizing his academic work and lying about his achievements. His memoir, set to be published by Simon and Schuster, was riddled with outlandish claims that raised eyebrows and sparked a heated debate about the dangers of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) policies. The speaker discusses how DEI policies can lead to the dilution of exceptionalism and the promotion of individuals who may not be qualified for certain positions. They argue that this approach can be detrimental to individuals who are truly talented and deserving of recognition. The episode also touches on the role of institutions like Cambridge University and publishers like Simon and Schuster in perpetuating this culture of deceit. The speaker highlights the case of Jason R. Day, who was given a professorship despite his questionable credentials and a memoir that was later found to be riddled with lies. They argue that this is a prime example of how DEI policies can lead to the promotion of individuals who are not truly qualified for their positions. The episode also explores the consequences of this approach, including the devastating impact on individuals like Jason R. Day. Join us as we explore the darker side of DEI policies and the consequences of promoting individuals who may not be qualified for certain positions.
