Funding, not deals, is often the real bottleneck in real estate investing. If you've been relying on banks or hard money lenders, you already know how slow, expensive, and restrictive they can be. In this episode of Marketer of the Day, Jay Conner, who has flipped and rehabbed over 500 single-family properties in eastern North Carolina and automated his seven‑figure business down to less than 10 hours a week, shows you a different path: private money. Since 2009, Jay hasn't missed out on a single deal due to lack of funding. He breaks down exactly what private money is (and what it's not), how it differs from hard money and bank financing, and why working directly with individual private lenders can transform your speed, flexibility, and profit margins. You'll discover how everyday people, often using self-directed IRAs, can become your lenders, earning solid, secured returns while you gain fast, reliable funding for your flips, rehabs, and single-family projects. Jay walks through his relationship-first approach to finding and educating private lenders, including how he “diagnoses” whether someone has an investment problem before ever offering a solution. You'll hear why the old saying “get the deal and the money will show up” is dangerous, and how Jay instead lines up capital first, then uses his signature “good news phone call” to place his lenders' money, without ever “asking for money.” He also shares his preferred strategies for single-family deals, from flipping and MLS resales to lease options, rent-to-own, and work-for-equity exits. You'll learn his simple formula for not overpaying for properties, how he protects his lenders with conservative loan-to-value (LTV) limits, proper collateralization, and why he often gets paid to buy houses by borrowing up to 75% of the after-repaired value (ARV). Jay explains how strong relationships with attorneys, title companies, and lenders allow him to confidently offer seven-day closings that sellers love. https://youtu.be/LttbnLZFK8M?si=Sbsqi0MAtm0LPx45 Jay also highlights his national best-selling book, Where To Get The Money Now: How and Where to Get Money for Your Real Estate Deals Without Relying on Traditional (or Hard Money) Lenders, which lays out his full system for raising and structuring private money. Combined with his scripts, frameworks, and real-world examples, this episode shows that raising private capital doesn't have to be complicated or salesy; it can be a straightforward, repeatable system that fuels your deals and builds real wealth for both you and your lenders. Quotes: “One of the biggest lies in real estate is ‘get the deal under contract, and the money will show up.' That's the most stupid thing I ever heard in my life.” “I want my private lenders to think of themselves as the bank. They're secured by a note, a deed of trust, insurance, and title; just like the bank would be.” “Private money is a simple business once you understand the moving parts; most new investors fail because they overcomplicate it.” Contact Details: Visit Jay Conner's website and Discover Proven Private Money Strategies Secure your Seat at the Private Money Conference Connect with Jay Conner on LinkedIn for Expert Insights on Private Money Lending Follow Jay Conner on Facebook for Expert Tips on Private Money Apple Podcasts: Raising Private Money with Jay Conner Subscribe to Jay Conner's YouTube Channel to Start Learning Private Money Funding Tips Follow Jay Conner on Instagram for Insights on Private Money Grab your Copy of Jay Conner's Book Unlock Jay Conner's Proven Private Money Scripts by Downloading them for Free Today!

Previous episodes have explored the physical form and function of fascia and its interactions with the nervous and immune systems. Today's conversation ventures into more new territory, exploring the relationships between fascia, flow state, and embodied experience. Host Katja is joined by Fiona Rose Stout PhD, an interdisciplinary researcher, bodyworker, and movement therapist seeking to connect diverse perspectives from neuroscience, creative arts, bodywork, and yoga. Together, Katja and Fiona explore the fascinating relationship between fascia, movement, and nervous system regulation. They discuss why fascia may provide an important biological lens for understanding embodied awareness, how movement practices can cultivate greater adaptability and resilience, and why integrative thinking is essential when exploring trauma, healing, and the mind-body connection. They also unpack a recent opinion article challenging "The Body Keeps the Score," offering a nuanced discussion about predictive coding, fascia, and contemporary trauma science. "There's an experience that happens when you actually feel that connection and that integration." — Fiona Stout. — What You'll Learn: • Introducing Fiona [01:13] • Flow state and why it matters for embodied movement practitioners [04:40] • Fascial fluidity implications for flow state [11:48] • Connections between nervous system regulation, trauma and flow state [15:11] • Supporting fascia with curiosity, varied movement, bodywork, myofascial release [21:03] • A nuanced discussion of "The Body Keeps the Score" [29:05] • Predictive coding and recent article "The body does not keep the score" [37:05] • Why integration, not dualism, may better explain human experience [45:11] • "Different strokes for different folks": final takeaways [50:28] — Links Mentioned: Watch this episode on YouTube Kotler S, Mannino M, Fox G and Friston K (2026) The body does not keep the score: trauma, predictive coding, and the restoration of metastability.

In most workplaces, safety conversations jump straight to the scariest headlines, active shooters, and worst-case scenarios, while overlooking the everyday situations that are far more likely to cause harm. Yet the people who consistently stay safe aren't superheroes; they're ordinary individuals who've learned to notice early warning signs, trust their instincts, and take simple, proactive steps before trouble starts. Today's guest, Jerry McCormick, Marine Corps veteran, retired police captain, workplace safety expert, and author of Why Some People Don't Become Victims: What 10,000 Police Officers Reveal About Workplace Violence and Practical Prevention, is here to change how we think about personal and workplace safety.  In this episode of Marketer of the Day, Jerry shares what he learned from interviewing more than 10,000 police officers worldwide about why they rarely become victims of crime off duty, despite constantly being around danger. Instead of teaching fantasy heroics or fear-based “what if” scenarios, Jerry focuses on plain-language, practical safety habits that anyone can use at work, at home, and in public. He explains why most companies don't actually need “active shooter training” (which is designed for first responders), and why a holistic, everyday safety approach is far more effective and relevant. Jerry breaks down simple, high-impact actions, like knowing how to lock doors, use the office PA system, run basic lockdown and evacuation drills, and recognize when a situation is starting to turn bad so you can quietly leave before trouble starts. He also talks about the psychology of fear, how it hijacks your body in a crisis, and why rehearsed, step-by-step procedures help you act calmly when it matters most. Through real-world examples from offices, schools, industrial parks, and medical practices, he shows how small changes in preparation, communication, and team drills can massively increase safety without creating panic or disrupting operations. https://youtu.be/sJBTM-Yib1s?si=rnZDcrMW6l9Epnlf If you've ever wondered whether your organization is focusing on the wrong threats, or you want your family and team to be safer without living in constant anxiety, this conversation delivers a grounded, empowering perspective. You'll walk away with a clearer understanding of actual risks, simple ways to reduce them, and how to turn “safety” from a scary, technical topic into an everyday skill that everyone can understand and use. Quotes: "You don't need active shooter training; you need training that looks holistically at where you work, where you play, where you live, and how you can live safer without living in fear." "My suggestion is see danger, recognize it, and avoid it in the first place; you don't have to be the hero in every story to keep your family safe." "When you give employees safety, you give them value, and excellent security is actually excellent customer service."

Summary:RV air conditioners can be confusing, especially when they are not keeping up with the summer heat. In this episode, I sit down with Will Troyer from GE RV Appliances to explain how RV air conditioners actually work, what owners should realistically expect from them, and what to consider before purchasing a replacement unit.We discuss why an air conditioner does more than simply blow cold air, how BTU ratings and the RV's overall heat load affect performance, and why insulation, humidity, airflow, and outside temperature all play a role in how comfortable the RV feels.Will also shares practical maintenance advice that can help an air conditioner operate more efficiently and last longer. Whether you are troubleshooting poor cooling, preparing for hot-weather travel, or shopping for a new unit, this episode will help you make better decisions and get more from your RV air-conditioning system.Show Notes:In this episode of The Smart RVer Podcast, I talk with Will Troyer from GE RV Appliances about how RV air conditioners work, why they sometimes struggle in extreme heat, and what RV owners can do to improve cooling performance.One of the most important points Will explains is that an air conditioner does not simply create cold air. Its primary job is to remove heat and moisture from inside the RV. Understanding this process helps explain why cooling performance can vary depending on outside temperature, humidity, insulation, window area, sun exposure, airflow, and the size of the RV.We also discuss realistic expectations for RV air-conditioning performance. Many owners expect the thermostat setting to determine how cold the RV should become, but the temperatures of the air entering the unit and the air coming out of the vents provide a more useful picture of how well the system is operating. Even a properly functioning air conditioner may struggle when the RV has been sitting in direct sunlight, and the walls, furniture, cabinets, and flooring have absorbed heat throughout the day.Will shares several practical ways RVers can help their air conditioners perform better. Starting the AC earlier in the day can prevent the RV from becoming heat-soaked. Closing blinds, reducing direct sunlight, maintaining good airflow, and avoiding unnecessary heat inside the RV can also make a noticeable difference.Regular maintenance is another major part of keeping an RV air conditioner operating efficiently. Dirty air filters, clogged coils, restricted airflow, and debris around the rooftop unit can reduce cooling performance and place additional stress on the system. Inspecting and cleaning these areas can often improve performance before more complicated repairs are considered.The conversation also covers what RV owners should know before purchasing a replacement air conditioner. BTU ratings are important, but bigger is not always automatically better. The size of the RV, ductwork, ceiling assembly, electrical system, thermostat controls, installation requirements, and overall heat load should all be considered.Rather than choosing a unit based solely on a familiar name or advertised feature, RV owners should ask questions and ensure the air conditioner is appropriate for their specific RV and camping conditions.This episode provides practical information for both new and experienced RVers who want to better understand their air conditioner, improve cooling performance, avoid preventable problems, and make a more informed decision when replacement becomes necessary.TakeawaysIn this episode, we delve into the intricacies of RV air conditioners, particularly their operational mechanics and essential components.We highlight the significance of understanding the heat load and humidity removal, which are crucial for effective cooling performance.Our conversation emphasizes the importance of proper maintenance, specifically cleaning coils and filters to ensure optimal functionality of air conditioning units.We discuss common misconceptions among RV owners regarding air conditioner performance, particularly under extreme temperatures.The interview with Will Troyer provides invaluable insights into what buyers should consider when selecting an RV air conditioner.We conclude with advice on maintaining air conditioners to enhance their longevity and efficiency, both of which are crucial for any RV owner.GE RV AppliancesOur Online Resources: The Smart Rver YouTube Channel - Check Out Our No-Nonsense YouTube VideosSunpro Mfg - RV Sunshade, Windshield Covers & Slide Out Awning FabricsHot Boat Ropes - Marine Cordage- Anchor Lines, Dock Lines, Tow Lines, etc.Top Rated Podcast - The Smart RVer Podcast Website

Episode Show Notes: Real Estate Investment Expert Insights with Jay Patel In this episode, I sit down with real estate veteran Jay Patel, who brings over 30 years of hands-on experience across nearly every corner of the industry—from developing a 200-home gated community in Central Florida to investing in multi-family units, short-term rentals, mobile home parks, storage centers, and more. We unpack why he's currently doubling down on distressed properties like foreclosures, short sales, and tax deeds—and why he believes they offer predictable, consistent returns in uncertain markets. We also dive into one of the biggest long-term real estate opportunities tied to the aging baby boomer population: assisted residential living. With a growing shortage of healthcare beds and rising demand for care facilities, Jay shares why this sector could remain strong for decades. Plus, we get into retirement strategy, passive income, the flaws in the traditional 4% rule, and why Jay believes real estate can provide more stability than the stock market when it comes to building long-term wealth. If you've ever wondered how to create predictable income for retirement, when to start investing, or how professional investors think differently than amateurs—this episode is packed with insights you won't want to miss.   Links & Resources PropTex – Learn more about Jay Patel's real estate investment strategies and fund opportunities   If you enjoyed this episode, make sure to follow the show, leave a rating and review, and share it with someone who's thinking about investing in real estate or planning for retirement.

You have probably heard of the vagus nerve, and (whether you realize it or not) have been exposed to some of the concepts of Polyvagal Theory in yoga classes. In fact, we have discussed the theory in a previous episode of the podcast. In today's episode, host Rachel Land and Yoga Medicine Therapeutic Specialist Valerie Knopik, PhD, revisit Polyvagal Theory and explore the latest scientific debate it has generated. They break down the original framework, the newer criticisms, and the ways scientific ideas evolve over time.  The conversation stays grounded in real-world teaching, especially around stress response, breath, and the role of relationships in helping people feel safe enough to practice. It is a thoughtful reminder that research can shift while the practical value of awareness, connection, and regulation remains central to yoga.

How to turn latent motivation into fuel for change.If you want to be a changemaker, you'll have to convince others to join your cause. But according to Dan Heath, persuading your audience isn't about creating new motivation — it's about leveraging the motivation that's already there.“The most important fuel for any change effort is motivation,” says Heath, the number-one New York Times bestselling author of Reset: How to Change What's Not Working. Instead of struggling to persuade people to want what you want, Heath suggests finding where your goals overlap with the things they already desire. "Before you even get to persuasion, if you can just tap and unleash the energy that's already there, you've already catapulted yourself toward success,” he says.In this Rethinks episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Heath and host Matt Abrahams explore how to create more compelling communication using “leverage points,” or as Heath says, “where a little bit of effort yields a disproportionate return.” Whether getting buy-in from one teammate or achieving change across an entire organization, Heath shares practical tips for turning latent motivation into an engine for change.Episode Reference Links:Dan HeathDan's Books: Reset: How to Change What's Not WorkingDan's Podcast: What It's Like To Be Ep.190 Motivation Matters: How to Leverage What People Already WantEp.49 Make Numbers Count: How to Communicate Data Effectively  Connect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedInChapters:(00:00) - Introduction (03:59) - The Power of Storytelling (07:09) - Crafting Powerful Stories (12:08) - Finding Great Stories (15:27) - Leverage Points For Change (18:39) - Wasted Resources & Motivation (23:06) - Latent Desire in Systems (25:15) - The Role of Systems in Communication (29:04) - Communicating Progress (32:26) - Lessons from Hosting a Podcast (34:58) - The Final Three Questions (43:00) - Conclusion  ********Thank you to our sponsors.  These partnerships support the ongoing production of the podcast, allowing us to bring it to you at no cost.This episode is brought to you by Babbel.

Yoga can play a particularly powerful role in pain care, with the capacity to address both physical and psychological aspects of pain within a supportive social framework.  You'll hear these themes woven through today's conversation—between host Rachel and pain researcher and yoga teacher Jennifer Gewandter, PhD, MPH—as Jennifer shares the details of her upcoming pilot study on yoga for pain management. Jennifer outlines the biopyschosocial nature of pain, and the unpredictability of neuropathic pain in particular. She explains how nervous‑system‑informed yoga practices—paired with pain science education—can help reduce fear and build more easeful patterns of movement, and the role yoga can play in long‑term pain management. "Yoga targets your physical body, your psychological well‑being, and your social world all at once—and for pain, that combination can be powerful." — Jennifer Gewandter, PhD, MPH. — What You'll Learn: The origin of Jen's yoga for pain management pilot study [3:01] Barriers to accessing yoga for pain care [6:06] How yoga helps: through a biopyschosocial lens [12:15] Components of the pilot yoga program [16:19] Predictable sequences, trained teachers, planning for flare-ups, breath practices [27:18] The special challenge of neuropathic pain [38:27] Sharing pain science education is key [42:53] Sum up: movement & meditation, short & social [47:01] — Links Mentioned: Watch this episode on YouTube Yoga Medicine Nervous System & Restorative Yoga Teacher Training Yoga Medicine Podcast Episode 15: Shifting Persistent Pain with Dr. Marnie Hartman Connect with Jennifer Gewandter, PhD, MPH: URMC — Learn More: Find the full show notes at YogaMedicine.com/podcast-164.
