If you've been thinking about leaving corporate but the risk feels too big, this episode gives you a smarter way to look at it.Brett sits down with Alex Smereczniak, a former EY consultant who left corporate early, built a high-growth business in the laundry space, and later launched Franzy—a platform designed to make franchising easier to research and navigate.This conversation covers the mindset shift that helps people stop overestimating the risk of leaving, plus why franchising can be an underrated “business with guardrails” path for escapees who want ownership without building from scratch.What we cover • Alex's escape story: college entrepreneurship → EY → leaving after a year and change • The moment that validated his decision: an EY partner's biggest career regret • Why fear is often self-created—and how to get past it • A practical worst-case scenario exercise to reset your risk tolerance • Why franchising is a business model, not an industry • Franzy's concept: “Zillow for buying and selling franchise businesses” • How AI + coaching can narrow thousands of franchise options into a realistic short list • Underrated franchise categories and trends (senior care, home services, turf, and more) • The “corporate is one customer” reframe—and why ownership builds equityKey timestamps (approx.) • 00:00–03:30 – Alex's corporate stint + why he left fast • 03:30–08:30 – The EY exit interview story: “It wasn't my ladder” • 08:30–12:30 – Why making money outside corporate is more possible than people think • 12:30–20:30 – The worst-case scenario exercise (the fear-killer) • 20:30–28:30 – Alex's journey building a scaled laundry business + why franchising clicked • 28:30–33:30 – What franchising actually is (and what most people misunderstand) • 33:30–40:30 – Franchise categories you probably haven't considered • 40:30–46:30 – Equity, control, and why “owning” beats “leasing” your careerBig takeaways • Most people overestimate the risk of leaving corporate. The real risk is staying dependent on one employer. • You don't need a perfect plan. You need small wins and momentum—then you adjust. • Franchising can be a fast path to ownership because you start with a proven playbook, support, and guardrails. • Ownership builds equity. A job pays you, but it doesn't typically create an asset you can sell.Who this episode is for • Corporate pros who want out but feel stuck because of risk, family, or finances • Escapees who want a “business with guardrails” instead of starting from scratch • Anyone curious about franchising beyond the usual fast-food stereotypesResources + links • Franzy https://franzy.com/ • Alex on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/alex-smereczniak-40310329/

Equity portfolio manager Aline Avzaradel discusses her approach to building resilient portfolios, shaped by experiences ranging from growing up during Brazil's hyperinflation to investing through the 2008 global financial crisis. She shares how those moments influenced her focus on capital preservation, sustainable dividend growth, and fact-based decision-making, including why not all dividends are created equal.   Key takeaways: A focus on how capital preservation and sustainable dividend growth can support long-term resilience. Collaboration between equity and fixed income teams may help uncover early warning signals. Opportunities may be emerging in non-U.S. markets and among stable dividend growers amid shifting global dynamics.   #CapGroupGlobal This content is intended to highlight issues and be of a general nature.

Harris—researcher, educator, and Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DE&I) professional—who challenges us to rethink how research, data, and storytelling can be life-changing tools for impact.Dr. Harris shares how research can move beyond spreadsheets and reports to become a meaningful resource for individuals, nonprofits, and organizations seeking sustainable growth and mission alignment.

What does it take to rise after life tells you “you can't”? In this episode of The Health Disparities Podcast, we sit down with Grace Moore—Financial Empowerment Specialist, Founder, Speaker, and 2025 Movement Is Life Health Summit Speaker—whose journey is a powerful testament to resilience, faith, and the transformative force of mindset. At just 17, Grace was told she would never walk again. After waking from a nap with her left leg paralyzed, she faced a defining crossroads: accept limitation or choose possibility. She chose movement—of the body, the mind, and the spirit. Today, Grace speaks from the lens of the patient, sharing what it looks like to keep moving forward while living with daily pain. Her message is simple but profound: we can choose to be “up and able” rather than “down and defeated.” Grace also brings her expertise in financial wellness to the conversation, highlighting how financial empowerment—especially for seniors—directly connects to health equity, stability, and community well‑being. She breaks down the barriers people face, the myths that hold them back, and the power of language to either uplift or limit our lives. In this episode, Grace opens up about: • Her journey from paralysis to purpose • How mindset can shift the trajectory of your life • Why financial empowerment is a health equity issue • The importance of speaking life into yourself and others • Her upcoming journal, Graceful Movement, and how it helps readers embrace pain with compassion and courage Grace's story is a reminder that movement isn't just physical—it's emotional, mental, and deeply personal. Her voice is one of hope, empowerment, and unwavering belief in what's possible. Never miss an episode—subscribe to The Health Disparities Podcast on Apple Podcasts, YouTube, or wherever you listen.

In this special episode of Real Talk for Real Fundraisers, Jeff Schreifels is joined by Christopher Beck—Associate Director of Individual and Planned Giving at the High Museum of Art in Atlanta and a 20-year fundraising veteran—as a new co-host for an ongoing 2026 series centered on equity, inclusion, and the real-world challenges facing fundraisers of color. This conversation centers around the practical, financial, and strategic realities of a sector that is already changing faster than many organizations are prepared for. Together, Jeff and Christopher dig into five foundational questions that will guide the series ahead, from who actually holds decision-making power inside non-profit organizations to the measurable revenue impact of building a more diverse donor base. With the great wealth transfer underway, next-generation donors on the rise, and communities of color holding more philanthropic power than ever before, this episode offers a clear-eyed look at what's at stake and what's possible for organizations willing to adapt.  It's an honest, forward-looking conversation about where fundraising is headed and how leaders can meet the moment without losing sight of relationships, mission, or results. Show Highlights: In this episode, you'll learn about… The single biggest equity barrier limiting revenue potential in most fundraising offices, and why homogeneity in decision-making is a financial risk The business case for donor diversification, including why engaging Latinx, Asian American, African American, LGBTQ+, and next-gen donors is essential for long-term growth How inclusive internal culture directly impacts donor retention, staff turnover, and relationship continuity A five-year forecast comparing equity-embracing organizations with those that resist change, and why the gap between them will continue to widen  Veritus Group is passionate about partnering with you and your organization throughout your fundraising journey. We believe that the key to transformative fundraising is a disciplined system and structure, trusted accountability, persistence, and a bit of fun. We specialize in mid-level fundraising, major gifts, and planned giving, helping our clients to develop compelling donor offers and to focus on strategic leadership and organizational development.

Nobody is talking about this… but they will.In this powerful 100th episode of The Spiritual Psychiatrist Podcast, Dr. Samuel B. Lee, MD welcomes Andrew William Macdonald, a former firefighter-turned-global teacher of equity law, for a groundbreaking conversation about spiritual sovereignty, freedom from the matrix, and the bridge between God's law and man's systems.After losing everything fighting the government in what he calls “patriot warfare,” Andrew discovered a forgotten legal pathway known as equity—a frequency-based approach that honors natural law without fighting or resisting the system. Over the past 25+ years, he and his wife Sandra have walked this path, embodying a life of true sovereignty and teaching others around the world how to do the same.In this episode, Andrew shares how the power of your signature can bind or free you, how to live in peace without being walked on, and why equity is the law of honor, not resistance. Dr. Sam and Andrew unpack the energetic and legal layers of the matrix, helping you understand how to navigate the 3D system while staying anchored in the divine.This is more than a legal loophole—it's a spiritual frequency shift.Sacred Truths & Lessons from This Episode:• Equity is the bridge between natural law and man-made law• What you fight, you become—honor is the true path to sovereignty• Your signature is your most valuable asset in this system• Contracts often override your God-given rights—unless you know how to respond• Asking the right questions compels the right performance• Freedom is a frequency, not just a status

In this episode of Lead-Lag Live, I sit down with Kaitlyn Walsh, Wealth Advisor and Equity Analyst, to break down what employees actually own when they receive stock options and why misunderstanding equity compensation can lead to costly mistakes.From incentive stock options and vesting schedules to fair market value, AMT exposure, and record-keeping errors, Walsh explains the decisions that matter most before, during, and after an equity grant and why timing, taxes, and planning can make or break outcomes.In this episode:– Why stock options are not the same as owning shares– How strike price and fair market value really work– The biggest vesting and exercise mistakes employees make– When stock options can trigger unexpected tax bills– Why poor record keeping can cost real money years laterLead-Lag Live brings you inside conversations with the financial thinkers who shape markets.

Cleveland extends paid street parking hours and increases rates, city leaders discuss On January 1, the city of Cleveland implemented new rules for street parking Downtown and in Ohio City. Paid parking hours now run from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m., seven days a week. Formerly, street parking was free after 6 p.m. on weekdays and always free on weekends. Ohio City will follow the same schedule, though Sundays will remain free. The changes include higher standard rates, with additional increases possible in special event zones. City officials say the goal is to improve turnover and availability in high-demand areas. Some residents and business owners, however, have raised concerns about the added cost for evenings and weekends. The changes come as downtown activity continues to rebound from the COVID-19 pandemic. According to Downtown Cleveland Inc., foot traffic and visitor activity reached more than 90% of pre-pandemic levels in 2023. And while leisure travel has largely returned, business travel is gaining momentum too— up 7% last year and bringing nearly $200 million in revenue to Cuyahoga County. Wednesday on the "Sound of Ideas," we'll discuss how will these changes shape daily life downtown, and what might they mean for Cleveland's future economic development. Guests:- Matthew Moss, Senior Strategist, Thriving Communities, City of Cleveland- Lucas Reeve, Senior Advisor, City of Cleveland- Sam McNulty, Co-Founder & Owner, Market Garden Brewery Speaker revisits site of historic 1854 Frederick Douglass address Later in the hour, we will talk about a historic speech delivered by abolitionist Frederick Douglass at Western Reserve Academy in Hudson. Douglass' great-great-great-grandson Kenneth Morris Jr. will be at Western Reserve Academy on Jan. 23 as the capstone for the school's weeklong observance of the life and legacy of Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. Morris will be in the same space that Douglass delivered his historic commencement address in 1854 when the site was known as Western Reserve College. In the speech, Douglass debunked the faulty science that underpinned pro-slavery arguments. The commencement address was the subject of an award-winning documentary, “Just and Perfect” produced by Western Reserve Academy and featured present-day students reciting portions of the speech. We will talk to the film's writer and producer about the film and the speech. Guests:-CeCe Payne, Writer and Producer, “Just and Perfect,” Bicentennial Special Projects Manager, Western Reserve Academy-Iiyannaa Graham-Siphanoum, Associate Dean for Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging, Western Reserve Academy

Executives often focus on salary when evaluating offers. But real wealth (and potentially real risk) usually lives in the equity package. In this episode, Brian Dress and Noland Langford unpack how to evaluate job offers through a strategic lens, helping leaders avoid costly missteps and uncover long-term value. Key Topics: • Why equity comp is often misunderstood, even by seasoned execs • How to compare offers with RSUs, options, and performance shares • The biggest blind spots when changing jobs • Timing and tax insights few people catch

Born out of the 2020 lockdowns, Alts.co has grown into a unique platform offering access to unconventional asset classes, including tequila barrels, sports ventures, and K-pop music rights. But how do you promote alternative investments like these without getting lost in the hype?A conversation with Stefan von Imhof, CEO of Alts.co.We covered:* How to deal with the fact that you can't be an expert in everything* The power of community and decentralized due diligence* The right risk-return profile for Alts offeringWatch it on YouTube or listen on all podcast apps.A few quotes from our conversationTrust vs Fun Trust is earned slowly but surely, and you can lose it like that if you're not careful. But that's why we're careful. And so, it feels good. It feels really good to bring great deals to the community. And yeah, if we have stories to tell on top of it, fantastic.I've asked Stefan a few questions about what I call “investing beyond returns”, because investing is not multi-dimensional; topics for dinner conversation, status, learning, etc., all matter. But it turns out that the answer is more boring than I was hoping. Returns matter more than anything else, and trust is built on returns.That Tequila TripWe've been to Mexico twice now. We've been working with our tequila dealer, and yes, he's as cool as he sounds, but we've been working with Miguel for about a year before this. And then as we matured as a company and realized tequila really is a great investment. It has all the same appreciation as wine and whiskey, without the wait. Tequila goes from Blanco to Reposado, to Anejo, to extra Anejo in three and a half years, and you're out. I was a bit obsessed about something that sounded too much fun to be a sound investment: a tequila tasting and investing trip to Mexico. It turns out that meeting people, visiting locations, are just a normal part of a thorough due diligence, a topic that kept coming back in the conversation.The Right Risk-Profile It's tough to get our community excited for anything under like 12%, roughly. I would say the sweet spot is like 13 to 18%. The area above 20%, people just start   getting skeptical.  It sounds like b******t.And then it's got to have downside protection.Stefan also added that they don't offer startup investments and avoid Equity risk for the same reason. This brought me back to the issue I expressed with YieldStreet Willow Wealth: the most toxic offering for retail investors is a high headline yield, combined with a high level of risk (such as equity tranches) hidden in the footnotes.

Richard starts with the basics of salary, bonus and equity and branches out to compensation mix, the various types of equity, negotiating best practices, and the "other" elements of an offer. Key topics include: why the devil is in the details; when and how to discuss compensation; the difference between dumb luck and bad luck; and why everyone should do a "multi-year cash flow analysis."

Send us a textWhat comes to mind when you think about being “professional”? Fast, certain, composed, always ready with an answer. But those reflexes weren't born in today's world. They were forged in factories and on battlefields, where control, compliance, and speed kept systems running.In this episode, liminal coach, AI-enthusiast, and possibilitarian Mike Parker invites us to trace that origin story and ask whether those habits still help. We hold the past up to the present: modern work that depends on curiosity, synthesis, care, and the courage to say “I don't know.”Together we explore what shifts when we stop chasing certainty and start practising wisdom—protecting real thinking, letting not-knowing lead to better decisions, and using AI to widen possibilities without outsourcing judgment. More than a history lesson, this is an invitation to trade fear-polish for trust, presence, and purpose so people can create better, together.Find out about:How industrial-age rules still shape “professional” behavior—and what to keep, update, or retireWhy depth beats speed: the role of calm, daydreaming, and the default-mode network in insightCreating rooms where questions lead, learning is visible, and inclusion isn't performativeUsing AI as an expander for divergent options while keeping humans at the centerConnect with Mike:WebsiteLinkedInSubstackSupport the show✨✨✨You can now find the podcast on Substack, where your host Dr. Myriam Hadnes is building a club for you to find fellow listeners and peers: https://myriamhadnes.substack.com/

Reliable income is harder to find when markets shift, and traditional tools feel less predictable. Many investors are looking for new ways to generate cash flow without stepping away from equity exposure altogether. This week, Robert Curtiss welcomes Matt Kaufman, Head of ETFs at Calamos Investments, to explain how auto-callable strategies work and why they are gaining attention. They break down how equity-linked income differs from bonds, how coupons are generated, and where these tools may fit inside a portfolio. The conversation also covers risk considerations, tax treatment, and how ETFs are changing access to structured strategies. Key points: How equity markets can be used to generate consistent monthly income instead of relying on bonds Why auto callable strategies trade upside participation for predictable cash flow How downside barriers work and when coupons may pause or resume Tax treatment differences compared to traditional fixed income Where auto-callable ETFs may fit alongside equities, munis, or covered call strategies And more!

This week, I welcome David Glasgow and Kenji Yoshino, co-authors of the new book How Equality Wins: A New Vision for an Inclusive America. As leaders of the Meltzer Center for Diversity, Inclusion, and Belonging at NYU School of Law, David and Kenji discuss the legal and political landscape of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) following the 2023 Supreme Court decision on affirmative action. They provide a practical roadmap for leaders to advance equality while navigating legal risks and political backlash. My Key Takeaways The "Three Ps" of Legal Risk: A DEI program is generally only legally risky if it involves a Preference for a Protected group about a Palpable benefit. If any one of these elements is missing—such as a program that removes bias for everyone rather than creating a preference—it is likely legally permissible. Leveling vs. Lifting: While "lifting" strategies (like identity-based mentorship) are becoming more legally vulnerable, "leveling" strategies offer a safer and often more effective path. Leveling focuses on systemic changes, such as debiasing performance reviews and implementing objective hiring criteria, which benefit all employees while advancing equity. The Importance of Supporting Dissent: Effective DEI work requires creating psychological safety where dissenting views can be heard. Suppressing disagreement leads to "preference falsification," where people appear to agree but harbor quiet resentment. Engaging with counter-arguments ultimately builds stronger, more resilient support for inclusion.

UGC Regulations on Woke Equity Concept | A Saga of Clueless Govt and Negligent Indic Warriors

Chris Markowski delves into the deceptive practices of Wall Street, particularly focusing on hedge funds and private equity firms. He highlights how hedge funds often report inflated returns by excluding failed funds from their calculations, likening it to a baseball player omitting their worst games to boost their batting average. Markowski also critiques the private equity model, which he argues exploits companies by loading them with debt and extracting value, often leading to their decline. He shares a poignant example of how private equity negatively impacted the once-popular Sprinkles Cupcake brand, illustrating the broader consequences of these financial practices on American businesses and consumers. Markowski further discusses the implications of recent mergers and acquisitions, using Saks Fifth Avenue's bankruptcy as a case study to demonstrate how Wall Street's financialization leads to disastrous outcomes for companies. He emphasizes the disconnect between Wall Street's profit motives and the realities faced by everyday investors, warning listeners about the potential pitfalls of trusting financial advisors who may prioritize their own interests over those of their clients. The episode serves as a wake-up call for listeners to be vigilant about the financial narratives pushed by major institutions and to seek transparency in their investments.

The Readman Truth To Power Hour: School Equity, Broken Promises by WNHH Community Radio

The hidden cost of silence—and the power of speaking up Kae Kronthaler-Williams is a global software marketing executive, speaker, and unapologetic advocate for women who refuse to shrink at work. With three decades in tech, she's seen the system from the inside—and she's done playing nice with broken cultures. Through bold storytelling, public speaking, executive coaching, and nonprofit leadership, Kae calls out bias, confronts toxic workplaces, and helps women reclaim their power. Her mission is simple and radical: make sure every woman is seen, supported, and equipped to lead. Because when women rise, organizations—and entire industries—rise with them. Visibility. Equity. Leadership. Change. Not Made For You If you've ever felt overlooked, underestimated, or quietly pushed out of the room—this book is for you. Not Made For You pulls back the curtain on the unspoken realities women face in tech and corporate America: sexism, harassment, ageism, racism, microaggressions, and the subtle (and not-so-subtle) systems designed to keep power exactly where it is. But this isn't just a book about what's broken—it's a guide to surviving, navigating, and winning anyway. With unflinching honesty and hard-earned insight, Kae transforms lived experience into a practical, empowering playbook. She gives women the language to speak up, the tools to protect themselves, and the confidence to lead on their own terms. Silence becomes solidarity. Resistance becomes reform. It's time to rewrite who gets to lead, thrive, and succeed in tech. Inside the Book In her powerful debut, Kae chronicles her 30-year rise from telemarketer to tech executive—offering a rare, insider view of the exclusionary systems still shaping women's careers today. This is not theory. This is survival—and strategy. Readers will discover: Real-world scripts to respond to bias, exclusion, and workplace gaslighting Critical legal insights every woman in tech should know (but rarely does) A leadership framework built from lived experience, not corporate buzzwords Tools for self-advocacy, career longevity, burnout prevention, and systemic change Whether you've personally faced discrimination or want to be a more effective ally, Not Made For You equips readers with the clarity, courage, and leadership language needed to drive lasting change. women in tech, workplace bias, gender equity, leadership development, corporate culture, DEI, women's empowerment, career advancement, microaggressions, toxic workplaces, executive leadership #NotMadeForYou #WomenInTech #LeadershipMatters #EquityAtWork #BreakTheBias #CareerAdvocacy #WomenWhoLead #CorporateCulture #DEI #SystemicChange Connect with Kae Website: kaewilliams.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kaekronthalerwilliams/ Substack: https://substack.com/@kaekronthalerwilliams Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kaekwilliams/

Episode 4 of Doing Well with Diabetes Season 2 features Kerry Murphy, wife and mother to multiple people with type 1 diabetes and founder of Follow T1Ds, who explains how her long, layered exposure to T1D—from her sister-in-law and husband to her niece and daughter—pushed her from terrified observer to frontline advocate. She describes the collision between modern diabetes tech (CGMs, pumps, data-driven care) and school systems still operating on 1990s protocols, culminating in nurses refusing to follow CGM data during the school day.  After discovering Department of Justice rulings that treating CGM follow as a reasonable ADA accommodation applies nationwide, she built Follow T1Ds around three demands: follow T1D CGMs, follow parent input, and follow federal law. The conversation covers how parents can move from raw fear and frustration to strategic advocacy, why labeling kids “non-compliant” ignores context and equity, and why school nurses are often the only line of real safety for some students. Kerry's long-term aim is systems change so that parents don't have to become de facto lawyers and policy experts just to keep their kids safe at school.

If you're running multiple locations, growth alone isn't the flex anymore - value is. In this week's episode of the Group Practice Accelerator Podcast, Jamie brings back Partnership & Equity Solutions Executive, Mark Flock, for straight talk about what it really takes to be ready for 2026. From strategic partnerships to equity decisions that either multiply or quietly destroy value, this conversation is for owners who are thinking beyond “more locations” and toward leverage, optionality, and long-term payoff. If your practice is scaling, the question is no longer can you grow, it's whether your structure is making the business more valuable or more complicated. If you want a business that gives you leverage, options, and power (not just more responsibility), this episode will change how you think about growth.

In this episode, Rick shares his interview with Dr. Julie Lara, Multilingual Programs Director at Ensemble Learning, former Director of the Emergent Bilingual Support Division at the Texas Education Agency, and a leading advocate for educational equity. She reflects on her journey from special education teacher to statewide policy leader serving 1.3 million emergent bilingual students. Julie opens up about her identity as a first-generation Latina, how her family's story shaped her purpose, and why embracing students' home languages is essential for academic success and generational change. Julie shares the pivotal moments that fueled her passion for dual-language education, including the creation of the Texas Effective Dual Language Immersion Framework and her work influencing national conversations on multilingual policy. She explains how bilingualism is a superpower, why culturally responsive education matters, and how community members can advocate for more equitable schools. This inspiring conversation reveals the heart behind Julie's leadership and her mission to ensure every child—regardless of background, identity, or zip code—has access to an empowering education that honors who they are.This episode is a MUST-LISTEN!

A Conversation with Joe Santana; a DEI original Would you agree that most conversations about DEI today sound loud, polarized, and disconnected from the work itself? In this episode of Everyday Conversations on Race, I talk with Joe Santana—advisor, author, and long-time DEI consultant—about where Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion actually came from and how it was originally practiced inside organizations. What really is DEI, (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion)? Joe and I have both spent decades doing this work. We've watched DEI evolve, get renamed, repackaged, misunderstood, and in some cases quietly dismantled. What often gets lost is that DEI didn't start as a political position. It started as a business conversation—about how organizations function, how people are evaluated, and how talent is either used or ignored. What is the business case for DEI?  Why are people still talking about diversity, equity, and inclusion? The early thinking behind DEI and why it mattered to organizational performance How good intentions gave way to vague language and inconsistent practice What happens when leaders avoid difference instead of learning how to work with it Why "treating everyone the same" sounds fair but rarely works How Employee and Business Resource Groups can either matter—or miss the point entirely This is a grounded conversation between two practitioners reflecting on what we've learned, what we got wrong, and what still holds value—especially for leaders trying to make sense of the current moment. You'll learn more about the challenges, and strategic importance of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) in organizations. From the historical context provided by pioneers like Roosevelt Thomas to practical advice on optimizing business outcomes, Joe shares a wealth of knowledge on how DEI can drive both social good and financial success in companies. The episode also covers the vital role of Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) and what organizations can do to leverage them effectively. You'll gain valuable insights on turning DEI initiatives into strategic business tools. If you're looking for clarity instead of slogans, and experience instead of soundbites, you'll find it in this episode.   Guest Bio Joseph (Joe) Santana is a business strategy coach and futurist specializing in developing CDOs, ERG/BRG leaders, and Executive Sponsors who drive measurable business impact.

This week, Jason and Michael Zuber evaluate President Trump's recent executive actions and their potential consequences for the national housing market and broader economy. They highlights efforts to ban institutional investors from buying single-family homes, a move seen as politically popular but unlikely to trigger a significant price collapse. They also examine the implications of capping credit card interest rates at 10%, debating whether this will help struggling families or inadvertently cause a sharp contraction in available credit. They consider how government-backed mortgage securities and lower interest rates could stimulate housing turnover and GDP growth. Additionally, they cover the subpoena of Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell and the possibility of future federal incentives for first-time homebuyers and entry-level builders. Ultimately, they suggest that while some measures may face legal or economic hurdles, they signal a shift toward economic nationalism and prioritized affordability. #TrumpExecutiveOrders #HousingAffordability #SingleFamilyHomes #InstitutionalInvestors #WallStreetRealEstate #AtlantaHousing #JacksonvilleRealEstate #FairHousing #FannieMae #FreddieMac #MortgageRates #JeromePowell #FedSubpoena #FederalReserveRemodel #CreditCardInterestCap #ConsumerCredit #DebtReduction #FirstTimeHomeBuyers #FiftyYearMortgage #TaxCredits #HousingInventory #EntryLevelHousing #GIBuilderInitiative #GDPGrowth #EconomicFraud #InflationInducedDebtDestruction #RealEstateInvesting #PropertyTracker #MortgageLockInEffect #MidtermElections2026 #VenezuelaOil #EnergyCosts #SoundMoney #HousingEmergency #RentToValueRatio #AffordabilityImprovement   Key Takeaways: 0:00 Trump's Venezuela Strategy 2:47 Cotality data: small versus mega investors 7:28 Equity cushions 8:44 Mortgage rates drop and the effects it brings to the economy 14:35 The worse kind of debt 20:37 Jerome Powell subpoenaed 29:30 Program for the first-time home buyer and builders 36:00 Learning the Proforma https://propertytracker.com/ 39:30 What's coming in 2026     Follow Jason on TWITTER, INSTAGRAM & LINKEDIN Twitter.com/JasonHartmanROI Instagram.com/jasonhartman1/ Linkedin.com/in/jasonhartmaninvestor/ Call our Investment Counselors at: 1-800-HARTMAN (US) or visit: https://www.jasonhartman.com/ Free Class:  Easily get up to $250,000 in funding for real estate, business or anything else: http://JasonHartman.com/Fund CYA Protect Your Assets, Save Taxes & Estate Planning: http://JasonHartman.com/Protect Get wholesale real estate deals for investment or build a great business – Free Course: https://www.jasonhartman.com/deals Special Offer from Ron LeGrand: https://JasonHartman.com/Ron Free Mini-Book on Pandemic Investing: https://www.PandemicInvesting.com
