Recorded live at the 2025 KW Family Reunion during the KWBREN Fest, this episode dives into the real power of real estate—building generational wealth. While commissions provide income, true financial freedom comes from ownership and control of assets. Shifting from a short-term mindset to a long-term strategy is essential for breaking systemic barriers and creating lasting wealth.The conversation highlights personal journeys of overcoming financial setbacks, scaling businesses, and navigating an industry with few Black owners. From bouncing back after bankruptcy to flipping million-dollar homes and investing in rental properties, these stories emphasize persistence, strategy, and the importance of community. Ownership isn't just about personal success—it's about creating opportunities for future generations.Wealth-building is a combination of vision, mentorship, and smart financial moves. Surrounding yourself with the right people, diversifying income streams, and employing tax strategies can turn short-term wins into long-term security. This episode offers an inspiring look at what's possible when real estate is used as a tool not just to earn, but to build a lasting legacy.Resources:Learn more at The Color of MoneyBecome a real estate agent HEREConnect with Our HostsEmerick Peace:Instagram: @theemerickpeaceFacebook: facebook.com/emerickpeaceDaniel Dixon:Instagram: @dixonsolditFacebook: facebook.com/realdanieldixonLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/dixonsolditYouTube: @dixongroupcompaniesJulia Lashay:Instagram: @iamjulialashayFacebook: facebook.com/growwithjuliaLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/julialashay/YouTube: @JuliaLashayBo MenkitiInstagram: @bomenkitiFacebook: facebook.com/obiora.menkitiLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/bomenkiti/Produced by NOVAThis podcast is for general informational purposes only.

Join me as we navigate the vibrant atmosphere of Canoecopia, the world's largest paddle sports expo. Billed as the world's largest paddlesports expo, Canoecopia features more than 100,000 square feet of canoes, kayaks, kit, outfitters, everything you can imagine, plus more than 100 speakers on an incredible array of topics and I am honored to be one of those speakers. Thanks to Chris Hipgrave and the entire P&H Pyranha kayaks team for making space in their booth to record this episode, and of course for producing my favorite boats.  We've got a great lineup of guests for today's episode.  We'll hear from: Graham Mackereth, founder of Pyranha kayaks and owner of Pyranha and P&H Erika Rivers, Wilderness Inquiry, a non-profit dedicated to getting those of all ages and abilities into the wilderness Vincent Robichaud, founder of Trailtopia, shares how cooking meals for friends turned into cooking more meals for lots more friends Long time friend, Lenore Sobota, tells us about the return of one of the Great Lakes most revered events, Ladies of the Lakes Stig Larsson shares what's happening with the Paddlesports Trades Coalition and a new initiative to get more people on the water and, Darren Bush, the Chief Paddling Evangelist with Rutabaga Paddleports joins us to share his excitement for a great new event that I am personally excited about, Camp Rutabaga. The thumbnail image for today's episode is Darren Bush's annual tradition of gathering  with the crowd as the doors open and taking a selfie.  Canoecopia is so much more than a trade show. It's the friendships. It's a paddling family reunion of sorts. As we emerge from a long winter it's nice to get together with friends and talk about past and future adventures together.  It's things like this that remind you what a great community of paddlers we have around us.

There were so many things I didn't realize,” he said, turning to face Rina.Ja: 目には涙が浮かんでいました。En: Tears welled up in his eyes.Ja: 二人はその場で抱き合い、今までの重荷が消えたような気持ちになりました。En: The two hugged on the spot, feeling as if the burden they had been carrying was lifted.Ja: 「これからは、違うね。」リナが笑顔で言うと、タクミも笑顔で頷きました。En: “Things will be different from now on,” Rina said with a smile, to which Takumi nodded with a smile as well.Ja: 春の風が竹林をそよがせ、もう一度その静けさを返していました。En: The spring wind rustled through the bamboo grove, returning its tranquility once more.Ja: リナとタクミは竹の間を並んで歩き始め、過去を振り返りながらも、新しい未来に向けて一歩を踏み出しました。En: Rina and Takumi began to walk side by side between the bamboo, reflecting on the past while taking a step forward towards a new future.Ja: リナは安心しました。En: Rina felt at ease.Ja: コミュニケーションと許しの力を実感し、心が軽くなったのでした。En: She felt the power of communication and forgiveness, and her heart became lighter.Ja: 「これからは、ずっと仲良しでいようね。」リナは言いました。En: “From now on, let's always be close,” Rina said.Ja: 「そうだね、約束だよ。」タクミが答えました。En: “Yes, it's a promise,” Takumi replied.Ja: 二人の笑い声が、竹林の中に響き渡りました。En: Their laughter echoed through the bamboo grove.

Fluent Fiction - Hebrew: Unexpected Heroes at Ben Gurion Airport: An Unforgettable Reunion Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/he/episode/2025-03-11-22-34-00-he Story Transcript:He: שמש האביב נכנסה דרך חלונות ענקיים של נמל התעופה בן גוריון, מאירה את מסועי המזוודות בשמחה.En: The spring sun streamed through the giant windows of Ben Gurion Airport, joyfully illuminating the luggage carousels.He: האנרגיה בעיר התעופה היתה גבוהה, פני כולם מביעים תקווה או עייפות, ואוויר מלא בציפייה לחג הפורים המתקרב.En: The energy at the airport was high, faces expressing hope or fatigue, and the air filled with anticipation for the upcoming Purim holiday.He: ארי, גבר צעיר שחזר מנסיעת עסקים, עמד במתח בדרכו לאזור החזרת המזוודות.En: Ari, a young man returning from a business trip, stood tensely on his way to the baggage claim area.He: הוא רצה להחזיק בידיו את התיק האישי שלו כמה שיותר מהר כדי לחזור הביתה ולעשות שמחה עם משפחתו.En: He wanted to get his personal bag in his hands as quickly as possible to return home and celebrate with his family.He: בזמן שעמד שם, הסתכל מסביב ושם לב שמשהו לא בסדר.En: While standing there, he looked around and noticed something was amiss.He: מזוודה לא פתורה עמדה לבד, נטושה, ליד המסוע.En: An unclaimed suitcase stood alone, abandoned, near the carousel.He: טרמינל שלם היה בפאניקה שקטה, עיניים מסקרנות נשלחו לעבר המראה המוזר.En: The whole terminal was in quiet panic, curious eyes cast toward the strange sight.He: אנשים לחששו והתעסקו בטלפונים שלהם, מודאגים מהעיכוב האפשרי.En: People whispered and busied themselves with their phones, worried about a possible delay.He: תמר, מאבטחת רצינית וממוקדת, ניגשה לאריחים הרוטטים של המסוע והביטה על המזוודה בחשד.En: Tamar, a serious and focused security officer, approached the vibrating tiles of the carousel and eyed the suitcase suspiciously.He: היא שמה לב להססנות בעיניי הנוסעים שסביב ומיהרה להחליט.En: She noticed the hesitance in the eyes of the surrounding passengers and hurried to make a decision.He: היא הביטה על ארי, שעמד ליד המזוודות במבט עובר לעיתים קרובות בין המזוודה לשל המרננים.En: She looked at Ari, who stood near the luggage, his gaze flickering often between the suitcase and the murmuring crowd.He: "תסלח לי," קולה היה נחוש אך ידידותי, "ראית במקרה מי השאיר את המזוודה הזאת כאן?En: "Excuse me," her voice was determined yet friendly, "did you happen to see who left this suitcase here?"He: "ארי הכיר את המצבים האלה רק מהטלוויזיה, אך כעת, כשהיה במרכז הסיפור, הוא מצא את עצמו מהסס.En: Ari knew these situations only from television, but now, being at the center of the story, he found himself hesitating.He: מצד אחד, הוא רצה לעזור ולמנוע מצב מסוכן.En: On one hand, he wanted to help and prevent a dangerous situation.He: מצד אחר, עליו למהר הביתה.En: On the other hand, he needed to hurry home.He: בסופו של דבר, הוא החליט לעזור.En: Ultimately, he decided to help.He: "לא ראיתי בדיוק, אבל אני מוכן לעזור," אמר בהבנה כשחיוך חצי מתנונן מתפשט על עיניו.En: "I didn't see exactly, but I'm willing to help," he said understandingly as a half-smile spread in his eyes.He: ביחד, תמר וארי ניגשו אל המזוודה בזהירות.En: Together, Tamar and Ari carefully approached the suitcase.He: תמר התחילה לשאול אנשים בקרבת מקום שאלות, וארי עמד לצידה.En: Tamar began questioning nearby people, while Ari stood by her side.He: לפתע, נשמע קול בכי קטן מכיוון אחר של המסוע.En: Suddenly, a small cry was heard from another direction of the carousel.He: ילד קטן, מבולבל ומנותק ממשפחתו, בכה בפינת החדר.En: A small child, confused and separated from his family, was crying in the corner of the room.He: "תראה," אמר ארי והצביע לעבר הילד.En: "Look," said Ari and pointed toward the child.He: תמר הלכה בזריזות אל הילד וקראה לו.En: Tamar quickly went to the child and called to him.He: "זו המזוודה שלך?En: "Is this your suitcase?"He: " שאלה ברכות.En: she asked gently.He: הילד הנהן, עיניו עוד לחות מדמעות.En: The child nodded, his eyes still moist with tears.He: בשילוב חקירה ותמיכה, הם גילו שהמשפחה שלו המשיכה לאזור היציאה ללא לדעת שהילד נשאר מאחור.En: Through a combination of inquiry and support, they discovered that his family had proceeded to the exit area unaware that the child was left behind.He: תמר הרימה את הילד אל זרועותיה ויחד עם ארי, הם פנו לחפש את ההורים הדואגים.En: Tamar lifted the child into her arms, and together with Ari, they set out to find the worried parents.He: כאשר הם חזרו וביחד איחדו מחדש את המשפחה, ארי חש הקלה וסיפוק נובע מהעובדה שהסיפור נגמר בכי טוב.En: When they returned and reunited the family, Ari felt relief and satisfaction from the fact that the story ended well.He: "כמה טוב לעזור," הגה ארי בעדינות כלפי תמר, שהנהנה בחיוך חמים.En: "How good it is to help," muttered Ari gently towards Tamar, who nodded with a warm smile.He: הוא אולי פספס בתחנת הזמן מתושבה שלו, אך הניסיון הפך אותו לאדם קשוב ואסיר תודה לעבודתה המסורה של תמר ושל אחרים כמוה.En: He may have missed his transit, but the experience made him a more attentive person, grateful for the dedicated work of Tamar and others like her.

Félt a visszautasítástól.En: Árpád hesitated. He feared rejection.Hu: Félő volt, hogy a távolságot senki sem akarja áthidalni vele.En: He worried that no one would want to bridge the distance with him.Hu: Önkéntelenül vett egy mély levegőt, majd mégis elhatározta magát.En: He involuntarily took a deep breath, then made up his mind.Hu: Amikor mindenki leült, és az italok előttük gőzölögtek, Árpád felállt egy pohárral a kezében.En: When everyone had seated and their drinks steamed in front of them, Árpád stood up with a glass in his hand.Hu: Minden tekintet rászegeződött. Egy kis csend támadt köztük.En: All eyes turned to him. A small silence fell among them.Hu: Árpád hangja remegős volt, amikor megszólalt: "Szeretnék köszönetet mondani mindannyiótoknak, különösen a csodálatos nőknek az életünkben.En: Árpád's voice was shaky as he began: "I would like to thank all of you, especially the wonderful women in our lives.Hu: Bár sokszor úgy tűnhetett, hogy távol vagyok, mindig is itt voltatok a szívemben..."En: Though it may have often seemed that I was far away, you were always in my heart..."Hu: Ahogy beszélt, a szavak könnyebben jöttek.En: As he spoke, the words came more easily.Hu: Katalin szemében könny csillant meg, Zsolt bátorító pillantást vetett rá.En: A tear glistened in Katalin's eyes, and Zsolt gave him an encouraging look.Hu: Árpád folytatta: "Szeretném pótolni az elvesztegetett időt.En: Árpád continued: "I want to make up for the lost time.Hu: Szeretnék aktív része lenni az életeteknek, ha megengeditek."En: I wish to be an active part of your lives, if you allow me."Hu: A család tagjai szinte egyszerre emelték poharaikat egy melegszívű összekoccanásra.En: The family members raised their glasses almost simultaneously for a warm-hearted clink.Hu: Árpád ereje átsugárzott a többiekre is, amikor hallotta Katalin szavait: "Kezdetnek mi lenne, ha sétálnánk egyet a Duna partján?"En: Árpád's strength radiated to the others as he heard Katalin say: "As a start, how about we take a walk along the Danube's banks?"Hu: A tervet gyorsan alakították, és Árpád érezte, hogy az évek alatt épített falak kezdtek leomlani.En: They quickly formed the plan, and Árpád felt that the walls he had built over the years began to crumble.Hu: Meleg tavaszi fény ölelte körül őket, miközben sok év után először érezte, hogy hazaért.En: The warm spring light embraced them, and for the first time in many years, he felt he had come home.Hu: Az összetartozás érzése szívében eddig sosem tapasztalt erőt adott neki.En: The sense of belonging gave him a strength in his heart he had never experienced before.Hu: Budapest, az alatta elterülő város, csak fokozta ezt az újfajta életörömöt.En: Budapest, the city sprawling below, only intensified this newfound joy in life.

We always played under it," Ming said softly.Zh: 这一刻，梁的思绪回到了小时候的无忧无虑，过往的负担似乎轻了一些。En: In this moment, Liang's thoughts drifted back to the carefree days of childhood, and the burdens of the past seemed to lighten.Zh: “记得，那是我们最爱的地方。”梁终于放松下来，语气中透着怀念。En: "I remember, it was our favorite place," Liang finally relaxed, nostalgia in his voice.Zh: 慢慢地，他开始述说在国外的生活和经历。En: Slowly, he began to speak about his life and experiences abroad.Zh: 他的歉意逐渐化解成对兄长的感谢。En: His initial apology gradually turned into gratitude for his elder brother.Zh: 灯火通明的小路上，两兄弟漫步而行。En: On a brightly lit path, the two brothers strolled.Zh: 说着，笑着，兄弟俩之间的陌生感逐渐消融。En: Talking, laughing, the unfamiliarity between them gradually faded.Zh: 梁感谢明的包容和理解，而明则已经尝试接纳弟弟不同的经历。En: Liang thanked Ming for his understanding and acceptance, while Ming was trying to embrace his brother's different experiences.Zh: 回到老屋门前，他们相视一笑。En: Back at the door of the old house, they exchanged smiles.Zh: 明与梁都知道，尽管无法改变过去，但他们可以共同迎接新的开始。En: Ming and Liang both knew that, although they couldn't change the past, they could welcome a new beginning together.Zh: 灯笼的光芒照亮了他们的回家之路，也照亮了他们重新建立起来的纽带。En: The glow of the lanterns lit their way home and also illuminated the bond they were rebuilding.Zh: 故事在他们的笑声中结束，象征着新年的新开始，也代表着兄弟情谊的再次连接。En: The story ends with the sound of their laughter, symbolizing a new beginning of the new year and representing the reconnection of their brotherly bond.

Jean from Houston shares a deeply personal story about her great-grandfather, Hoppy, and his haunting presence after his death. Built on family history, this tale begins with Hoppy's mysterious axe, which was hidden from him before his sudden passing. Years later, the axe reappears under strange circumstances, leading to a series of paranormal events in the family home. Jean and her sister experience a terrifying yet touching visitation from Hoppy's spirit, where he appears to say a final goodbye. This is a daily EXTRA from The Grave Talks.
