Master character development with these five must-read books that transform static characters from boring to brilliant.You've created characters with compelling backstories, but somehow, they still feel... flat. They move through your plot but don't feel like real people.Here's the thing: character development is what makes readers fall in love with your story, not just read it. But it's also one of the trickiest parts of fiction writing.That's why today, I'm sharing five books that have completely transformed my approach to character development. And they've also helped hundreds of my students create characters readers are totally invested in. You'll hear me talk about things like:[01:17] Why most characters feel flat even when they have clear goals and motivations (and which book can help you unlock the missing piece)[06:22] My favorite resource for understanding character arcs, whether you're writing a positive arc, a negative arc, or a flat one[08:16] Which book can help you understand your villain's emotional wounds—and why this might be more important than perfecting your protagonist's backstory[10:35] A book that'll help you make readers feel your character's emotions without ever naming a single feeling on the page[00:00] My go-to resource for learning how to marry your plot with your characters (this one's especially good for pantsers who want a little more structure!)If your characters feel static despite having detailed backstories, or if you're struggling to show meaningful character growth throughout your story, this episode will give you the exact resources you need to create characters readers will never forget.

Visit https://tinyurl.com/mainstreetpatriot-getstarted - - - - - - - In this episode of the Real Estate Fast Pass podcast, Jimmy Vreeland discusses the misconceptions surrounding cash flow in real estate investing. He emphasizes that while real estate can create significant wealth, it often does not provide immediate cash flow. Vreeland introduces the concept of the 'Four Pillars of Wealth Creation' and explains how appreciation, equity pay down, tax savings, and cash flow contribute to long-term financial success. He encourages listeners to shift their focus from short-term cash flow to building wealth through strategic investments.About Jimmy Vreeland Jimmy graduated from the United States Military Academy at West Point, spent 5 years as an Army Ranger, and deployed three times twice to Iraq and once to Afghanistan. On his last deployment, he read Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki which led him down the path of real estate investing. As his own portfolio grew, eventually he started a real estate investing business. Since 2018 his team at Vreeland Capital has supplied over 100 houses a year to high performing, passive investors who want to work with his team and his team is now managing over 800 houses.

Six Months in Mexico, Flat-Fee Listings, and What Our Clients Are Teaching Us About the 2025 Real Estate Market In this episode of The Real Estate Education Podcast, we're covering three major topics—from expat life to evolving real estate models to real-time client case studies—all focused on helping you make smarter moves in today's U.S. housing market. Segment 1 – Six Months Living in Mexico: What We've Learned Thinking of a life change? Whether you're moving cities or countries, this honest reflection on six months of living in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico covers what it's really like to leave the U.S. in midlife. We discuss cost of living, healthcare, infrastructure, culture, and how this move unexpectedly changed our perspective on homeownership, pace of life, and housing decisions back home. Segment 2 – Flat-Fee Listings: Can They Save Sellers Thousands? Flat-fee MLS listings are becoming more attractive in a tight housing market. Erin explains why she's launching flat-fee services in Colorado, how it works, which properties are a good fit, and what most sellers misunderstand about traditional real estate commissions. If you're considering selling in 2025, this segment breaks down when not to pay 3% and what really sells a house (hint: it's not social media). Segment 3 – Real Client Case Studies: What Buyers and Investors Are Doing Right Now From midterm rental investors in Missouri, California, and Florida to traditional buyers in Denver and Castle Rock, we're sharing real strategies and outcomes from current clients. Learn what's working (and what's not) in markets across the U.S., including insurance stays, house hacking, FIRE movement buyers, and high-end midterm rental bookings in Portland. Topics Covered: Living abroad vs. U.S. housing stress Flat-fee real estate listings explained Midterm rental trends in 2025 How to sell a house without overpaying What makes a flat-fee listing successful FIRE movement and affordable home strategies How real estate technology is changing the agent model When full-service agents are still worth it Search terms optimized in this episode: real estate podcast 2025, flat fee MLS listing Colorado, midterm rental case study, selling a house without a realtor, moving to Mexico from the U.S., best cities for house hacking, FIRE movement real estate, Colorado housing market update 2025, Portland midterm rental demand, Mexico expat living 2025 Subscribe for real talk, no fluff, and actionable insight from two working real estate pros—who also happen to live in Mexico.

From the staggering price tag to the no-show allies to the contrast with the massive No Kings protests, this isn't the flex Trump hoped for.

Royal Ascot Day 3 – Ladies Day Betting Special Fresh off a winning Day 1, Emmet Kennedy, Adam Mills, and Andy Newton are back on the Final Furlong Podcast with your full betting guide to Thursday at Royal Ascot — better known as Ladies Day.
We interview Professor Christopher Summerfield from Oxford University about his new book "These Strange New Minds: How AI Learned to Talk and What It". AI learned to understand the world just by reading text - something scientists thought was impossible. You don't need to see a cat to know what one is; you can learn everything from words alone. This is "the most astonishing scientific discovery of the 21st century."People are split: some refuse to call what AI does "thinking" even when it outperforms humans, while others believe if it acts intelligent, it is intelligent. Summerfield takes the middle ground - AI does something genuinely like human reasoning, but that doesn't make it human.Sponsor messages:========Google Gemini: Google Gemini features Veo3, a state-of-the-art AI video generation model in the Gemini app. Sign up at https://gemini.google.comTufa AI Labs are hiring for ML Engineers and a Chief Scientist in Zurich/SF.

The team kicks off with the Queen Mary Stakes, where double-digit odds selections fly from all sides — and one blistering U.S. speedball could give America its fifth win in a decade. But Adam goes to bat for the rock-solid favourite Zelaina, with data to back it up. In the Queen's Vase, Aidan O'Brien's dominant record makes Shackleton and Scandinavia hard to ignore — but not everyone's on board. Sharp alternatives are pitched with tactical insights on pace, breeding, and late stamina. Tempers flare in the Duke Of Cambridge Stakes as the panel splits strongly over the right way to play the race — who's reading it right? Then it's time for fireworks in the Prince Of Wales's Stakes (Group 1):

Royal Ascot is here and The Front Page has you covered with all the key angles covered across five fantastic days of Flat racing. Host James Stevens asks panellists David Jennings and Liam Headd whether the St James's Palace Stakes, featuring three Guineas winners, is the race of 2025? The panel also look at the Gold Cup, the biggest race across the meeting, and share some of their best fancies across the week.

The Edmonton Oilers are officially on the ropes. Game 5 of the Stanley Cup Final was a tough one, as the Oilers were dominated from start to finish by the Florida Panthers, falling 5-2 and now trailing the series 3-2. Edmonton came out flat and never recovered — generating just three shots in the first period and going down 2-0 early. Florida suffocated them in every zone, and despite a brief push later in the game, the Oilers just couldn't solve the Panthers' defensive structure.Calvin Pickard got the start in goal after his heroics in Game 4, but his unbeaten run came to an end, allowing 4 goals on 18 shots. Now, the biggest question becomes: who starts Game 6 with the season on the line — Pickard or Skinner?We'll break down everything from Game 5 in our scoring summary, deliver our one big take, and ask the giant question ahead of the Oilers' do-or-die moment. Joining us on today's show is Sportsnet's Louie DeBrusk, giving his thoughts on what went wrong for Edmonton and how they can bounce back in Game 6. Plus, hockey historian and author Mike Commito stops by to share some historical context from Stanley Cup Finals past — and what this series could mean in the bigger picture.Website: https://oilersnation.com/ https://twitter.com/OilersNation/ https://www.youtube.com/@Oilersnationdotcom/ https://www.facebook.com/OilersNation/https://www.instagram.com/oilersnationdotcomhttps://www.tiktok.com/@oilersnation SHOUTOUT TO OUR SPONSORS!!
Mention financial independence and one of the first names that come up is JL Collins, author of the bestselling book 'The Simple Path to Wealth'. In fact, he is affectionately known as the Godfather of FI. One million copies and 10 years after its original publication, JL back with a shiny new, revised and expanded edition... and it just hit the New York Times Bestseller list!!! We know you've heard and seen JL all over the place because he is a BIG deal. But we uncovered some intriguing facts about his life and career that isn't often talked about (we're just curious like that). Here are five things you probably didn't know about JL Collins that we discuss in this episode: Before he ever started writing about financial independence, he worked in the magazine publishing industry. He was a job-hopper throughout his career to make more money and took lots of sabbaticals because he liked working, just not all the time. He started writing his blog to teach is daughter (Jessica) about investing, problem was… she wasn't listening when she was a kid. His daughter (Jessica) is now in her thirties and turns out, she has gained a deep understanding of his teachings (way more than he originally thought). She's now firmly on the path to FI and just left her corporate job. His daughter Jessica was part of his team in updating the new version of ‘The Simple to Wealth' and getting to work so closely with her was the most gratifying part for him as a dad.

Tax talk without the snooze-fest! This mid-week episode is the recording of a session done with the smart women of the WE (Women Empowered) Wealth Collective, titled: What Every Woman Should Know About Minimizing Taxes in Retirement. ‘Catching Up to FI' co-host and author of ‘F.I.R.E for Dummies' Jackie Cummings Koski, CFP®, AFC®, turns this insightful discussion into a masterclass on trimming Uncle Sam's tab at every phase of retirement. Jackie rewinds to her own FIRE (Financial Independence, Retire Early) journey: the divorce-day "401(k) gap" that lit her savings rocket, supersizing her HSA past $200,000, and hitting FI at 49 with a 40% savings rate. Expect plain-English breakdowns, plenty of ‘there are no dumb questions' crowd chat, and Jackie's trademark mix of CFP level and girlfriend realness. Topics for the series include: Age-band tax checklist (pre-55, 55-65, 65-75, 75+) Separating "macro" worry (markets, policy) from micro action (what you control) Early withdrawal strategies (Rule of 55/50, 72(t) / Equal Payments, HSAs, Affordable Care Act/Tax Credits, Brokerage Accounts, ect) Tax Minimizing tips during normal retirement (Social Security, Medicare Surcharge, Increased Standard Deduction, Balancing account types) Later in life considerations (RMDs, Qualified Charitable Distribution, Inheritances, ect) This is part one of a two-part series and the second part will be aired next Wednesday (6/18/25).
