Tim Street is a Marine Corps veteran, former Federal Air Marshal, tech startup operator and real estate professional who became a top-performing agent. His listings sold for 102% of list price, often going under contract the first weekend, while competing homes averaged 89% after 81 days. After seeing families pay what he calls the $30,000 Agent Tax for basic project management, Tim built FoolProof FSBO—the first homeowner-first system that helps sellers launch a professional listing in seven days with clarity and confidence. Combining military discipline, high-stakes operational experience and real estate marketing expertise, Tim now teaches homeowners the same proven sequence top agents use—without the bloated fees. His mission is to help families keep their equity while selling faster, safer and smarter.In this episode we discuss how realtors can work with FSBO clients by offering free guidance and genuine support. Tim shares his approach for helping sellers who choose to list their homes themselves, explaining how to provide value through education, operational systems and professional marketing so that FSBOs see the benefit of hiring an agent. We explore ways to build trust and relationships with homeowners, focusing on service-first strategies that ultimately encourage FSBO clients to partner with you for a successful sale.You Can Find Tim @:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/foolprooffsboWebsite: https://foolprooffsbo.com/Free Quiz: https://foolprooffsbo.com/quiz

In this episode, we sit down with Chad Henson, the new Chief of Police for the Paragould Police Department — a man whose journey has taken him from protecting the skies as a Federal Air Marshal to serving overseas in a UN mission, to leading drug task force operations across NEA. Chief Henson shares how those experiences shaped his philosophy of leadership and why he believes real change starts with character, humility, and a commitment to teaching. We talk about building healthy culture inside a department, why not everyone actually fears change, and how long-lasting cultural transformation happens from the inside out. He also outlines his vision for the future of PPD, including a major emphasis on officer development — increasing annual training requirements from 24 to 100 hours, equipping leaders at every level, and creating a department other agencies look to for instructors and best practices. We close by discussing the realities of drug trends in Arkansas, the importance of regional cooperation among agencies, and why “playing well with others” matters more than ever. If you care about leadership, community, or the direction of policing in Paragould, this is an episode you won't want to miss.

Today i discuss 988 suicide hotline. And i go over what it was like being a federal air marshal.

Author and trauma and disaster management specialist Jeffrey J. Denning returns to Relentlessly Resilient to discuss the importance of self-awareness and self-wellness. Over his long career as a US Army officer, Federal Air Marshal, police captain, turned counselor and therapist, Jeff has been interested in trauma-informed mental and spiritual health. Today, he discusses five steps to help individuals in crisis find resilience, which is really all of us as we face the stress and disappointments of life. These steps are adequate sleep, healthy nutrition, daily physical activity, positive socialization, and a grateful attitude. The key to active resilience is understanding your identity and purpose and, thus, understanding your worth.    If you or someone you know is struggling with thoughts of suicide, call 988 to connect with the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline and/or visit them online at www.suicidepreventionlifeline.org    Even though we live in challenging times, we can become 'Relentlessly Resilient' as we lean on and learn from one another’s experiences.

Episode page with video, transcript, and more My guest for Episode #252 of the My Favorite Mistake podcast is Russell K. Jack. He's a retired US Senior Federal Air Marshal, working in that role from 2002 to 2022. Russell previously served five years as a Federal Police Officer. And previously served five years in the Colorado Army National Guard and was deployed in Saudi Arabia (Desert Storm). He is also a first-time author — his book is titled, Is MAGA a Terrorist Movement?— available now. He hopes this book will promote critical thinking about protecting our democracy and just how precariously close we are to losing it forever. He writes this book out of a sense of duty to the American people.  In today's episode, Russell shares his favorite mistake story from his time working as a security officer for a major health system. Why did a Black man think he was being racially profiled by Russell? And what did Russell learn about that interaction? We also dive into important topics from his book — the lessons learned and the implications for 2024 and beyond. Questions and Topics: Did you get to share that lesson with others in law enforcement? How often do you think racial profiling does occur? What's the definition of “terrorist”? Death threats are an example of terrorism? Fascist? What does that mean and what's the implication if MAGA wins in 2024? It's a mistake that we don't have a clear definition of “Insurrectionist”? Who is the audience for the book? The already convinced, or the convincible?? Your hope for the book? You write you've never convinced anybody to stop being MAGA. Do you expect this book to help? Do you run across people who now think it was a mistake to previously support or vote for Trump? Does MAGA think they made mistakes in early 2021 that they wouldn't make again in early 2029?? If Trump were to die tomorrow, what happens to MAGA movement? 

Peter Johnson, a former Federal Air Marshal and founder of Archway Defense, joins me to talk about the most American principle of all: self-reliance. When it comes to safety for you and your family - you have a choice: prepare or repair.Preparing is more than buying a gun. It is a mindset and a recognition that you are ultimately responsible for your own best outcomes. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On November 13, 2022, four college students from the University of Idaho were stabbed to death in their home. Following weeks of investigations, police in Moscow, Idaho, charged 28-year-old Bryan Kohberger for the murders of Madison Mogen, Kaylee Goncalves, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin. Jonathan T. Gilliam – former US Navy SEAL, FBI Special Agent, author, speaker, and host of The Experts podcast – discusses the case LIVE on Ask Dr. Drew. Follow Gilliam at twitter.com/JGilliam_SEAL The allegations are startling: that Bryan Kohberger stalked his victims at restaurant Seven Sirens Brewery; that Kohberger had a past heroin addiction and may have been intoxicated when he committed the murders; that despite his degrees in Psychology and Criminal Justice, and attention to hiding traces of his crimes, Bryan made many “stupid” mistakes like leaving behind a knife sheath and DNA; that the killer's face was seen by a survivor as he was leaving the home.
