Good morning, afternoon, and evening, investors! Scott Carson here, ready to drop some serious knowledge bombs on your day-to-day investing strategies. Today, we're talking with a true titan of Texas real estate finance, Michael Hoffman, founder and CEO of Longhorn Investments! Since 2008, Mike and his team have funded over 10,000 loans and $2 billion, helping investors nationwide (with about 50% of that still right here in Texas!) turn fixer-uppers into cash-flowing dreams. If you're buying, fixing, and flipping, you're gonna want to grab a burnt orange pen, because Mike's insights are pure gold – and he's not afraid to tell you why HGTV is fictional!In this episode, you'll learn:Hard Money 101 & First-Time Investor Hacks: Mike demystifies hard money lending: it's asset-based, faster than banks (5-7 days!), and funds up to 100% of loan-to-cost (up to 70% ARV). Plus, hear how Longhorn empowers first-time fix-and-flippers by focusing on the deal's viability (hello, appraisals!), not just your experience level.The Truth About Deals & Rehabs (and why HGTV is Fiction!): Learn why Longhorn meticulously vets every deal – they want you to succeed, not foreclose! Mike stresses the vital importance of hiring a reputable contractor (not the cheapest, and definitely not you for wall-moving projects!) and the necessity of actively overseeing your rehabs to avoid "mucking up the machine."Lender Goals & Market Realities: Mike pulls back the curtain on what motivates a good hard money lender: they're in the note business, not the "loan-to-own" business! Discover why quick draw disbursements (48-72 hours!) are crucial for project success, and how to spot lenders who might be running on fumes. Plus, understand how current market conditions are affecting loan terms and borrower strategies.Property Preferences & Geographic Boundaries: Longhorn's sweet spot? Workforce housing (ARVs under $400k) and brick, 3-bed/2-bath homes built pre-1970s. Mike explains why they avoid mobile homes (unless they're real estate!), condos (those HOA assessments are no joke!), and "Podunkville" locations (you gotta sell it to someone!).Passive Investing Powerhouse: The Trident Fund: Get an exclusive peek behind the curtain at Trident Realty Investments, the $222 million evergreen fund that bankrolls Longhorn's loans. Discover how accredited investors can target a 10% return (with a 1-year lockup) by investing alongside Mike, who's always the first investor in. It's a transparent, stable way to put your lazy capital to work!This episode with Michael Hoffman is a masterclass in navigating the hard money landscape, offering candid advice and battle-tested strategies for investors at every level. Mike isn't just a lender; he's a partner in your success, even if that means telling you to walk away from a bad deal!Ready to get your next fix and flip funded without all the drama? Or maybe you're looking for a smarter way to invest passively? Head over to LonghornInvestments.com to connect with Mike's team, get pre-qualified, and turn those investment dreams into reality!

Headlines and 12th Man News with GREGG BELL (Tacoma News Tribune) We start with an injury update on Grey Zabel and we did get some good news! Should we expect Zabel to play against the Titans on Sunday and how big of a loss is it to not have him on the field? Was this one bad game for Darnold or further proof that he can't step up in a big game? Did Gregg leave LA feeling better about the Seahawks or having more doubts? Will the Seahawks finally get Ken Walker more involved in the run-game? :30- Michael Penix Jr appears to have suffered a season-ending knee injury and the Falcons will now rely on Kirk Cousins. If he were available before the season ends, should they sit him anyway and focus on their draft position and his health for next year? Is Raheem Morris the right guy to lead this Falcons team? He is a defensive coach, can he navigate this Falcons team that has focused so heavily on offensive weapons? :35- It's Fact or Fiction time! :45- Clearly the Josh Naylor love for Seattle runs as deep as Seattle's love for Jimmy Naylz!
Headlines and GREGG BELL (Tacoma News Tribune) Gregg brings us the latest 12th man news as we start looking ahead to Sunday's matchup with the Titans. What is the one thing the Seahawks need to do to get a W in Nashville? :30- Josh Naylor was the first big free agency signing of the offseason, will he get the Stove kickstarted? Hollander mentioned that the Mariners are still aiming to re-sign Polanco and Suarez as well. :35- Can Ashley get off the Fact or Fiction struggle bus? :45- It's time to get Reckless at Breakfast! What's up with college coaches seemingly being unhappy in great situations? Steve Sarkisian at Texas and Lane Kiffin at Ole Miss- those are two great situations and yet it seems like they're both looking elsewhere.

Ditch the Suits - Financial, Investment, & Retirement Planning
In this episode of Ditch the Suits, we are going to dive deep into the evolving story of the American middle class, exploring why it's shrinking, why that matters, and what you can actually do about it. You'll hear both sides of the debate: the familiar narrative that the middle class is disappearing as the rich get richer, and a counter-narrative that challenges those assumptions with fresh data and perspective. We'll break down arguments and examine whether the “shrinking middle class” is really a crisis or simply a sign of changing times. By the end, you'll have a clearer understanding of what's really happening, why it impacts you, and how you can take control of your financial future.

ACOFAE Podcast Presents: Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West. ACOFAE doesn't do things casually. When Laura Marie and Jessica Marie like something, they go all in and commit fully to the Fandom. So when Jessica Marie ended up loving Wicked pt1- it was only a matter of time before the broadway show was seen, part 2 songs memorized, and The Book read. The book, which details the life of Elphaba from birth to "death", is a different animal than the musical, and that is made known right away. Mostly politics, religious warring, and two or maybe three beings manipulating key characters, Wicked is source material at its finest. Details abound about the region, Shiz, the child monarch, and how and why the Wizard came to be in Oz. Galinda, Boq, Madam Moorible, Dorothy, the Lion, and more, are all here and they each have their own stories to tell in this hefty 400+ page book that sees Elphaba go from child to sister, student, friend, activist, Big T, Witch, and beyond.

When the polymorphous writer Ursula K. Le Guin died in 2018, she left behind novels, short stories, poetry, essays, manifestos and French and Chinese translations. The huge and loyal readership among children and older readers that she built during her lifetime has only grown since her death, as has recognition of her work as ‘serious' literature. Chafing against her confinement in genre fiction, she liberated sci-fi, fantasy and YA literature from the condescension to which they had long been subjected. In 2016, she joined the short list of authors to be published in their lifetime by the Library of America. For the final regular episode of Fiction and the Fantastic (though there will be one more special episode) Marina and Chloe read ‘The Left Hand of Darkness' and ‘The Dispossessed': works of exceptional imaginative power and intellectual range, passionate idealism and keen-eyed observation. Is Le Guin's status in both literary and ‘genre' canons a testament to the force and clear-sightedness of her radical – even prophetic – political vision? And what does it mean for the fantastic if we accept her self-characterisation as a ‘realist of a larger reality'? Non-subscribers will only hear an extract from this episode.

In this episode of The Writing Life Podcast, Singapore-based writer Clara Chow delves into the world of 'experimental fiction' and why she takes on projects that push against the grain. Clara Chow works across genres of fiction, non-fiction and poetry. Her strange experiments under Hermit Press include obscure prose chapbooks such as The Melancholy of Broken Bollards. She has been a resident at the University of Iowa, Toji Cultural Center, Asean Literary Festival and Shanghai Writers' Programme. Her residency in the Dragon Hall Cottage was supported by the National Arts Council of Singapore. She sits down with writer and mentor Megan Bradbury to discuss how she defines ‘experimental fiction', and the importance of prioritising fun with your creative writing. Together, they touch on her month-long residency in Norwich UNESCO City of Literature, writing as a collaborative project, and the role bilingualism plays in her creative work.
"If he feels talking about his favourite novel is politically disadvantageous, that's a sad state of affairs" - David Szalay on Keir Starmer's reading habits.--David Szalay is the winner of the 2025 Booker Prize for Fiction.He disputes claims that his novel, Flesh, is a tale of modern masculinity as reviewers have claimed. Though it certainly explores the male expression of emotion. In Flesh, Szalay's protagonist, István, navigates sexual grooming, violence and prison before rising to the ranks of the super-rich - narrating his story in economical, tightly packed sentences.Nicholas Harris met Szalay in London shortly after his win. They discuss the role of the novel, Szalay's "post-brexit" identity as a "European author", and why the Prime Minister should be reading more.LISTEN AD-FREE:

652. Part 1 of Kathleen DuVal's return to the podcast to talk about her book, Native Nations: A Millennium in North America. “Pulitzer Prize Winner - National Bestseller - A magisterial overview of a thousand years of Native American history (The New York Review of Books), from the rise of ancient cities more than a thousand years ago to fights for sovereignty that continue today. Winner of the Bancroft Prize, the Cundill History Prize, and the Mark Lynton History Prize. Long before the colonization of North America, Indigenous Americans built diverse civilizations and adapted to a changing world in ways that reverberated globally. And, as award-winning historian Kathleen DuVal vividly recounts, when Europeans did arrive, no civilization came to a halt because of a few wandering explorers, even when the strangers came well armed.” (Publisher's website), Now available: Liberty in Louisiana: A Comedy.

This week in the Louisiana Anthology. Chad Adams. How to Walk in the Marsh. I stood behind the center console of my dad's flatboat, tucked closely against him, prouder than any seven-year-old boy could be, riding along while he drove in the darkness of an early cold November morning. We slowly maneuvered through the salty marshes of southern Louisiana in eager pursuit of my very first duck hunt. As the blistering air seeped through the holes in my oversized camouflaged ski-mask, and the smell of the sputtering motor's exhaust made my nostrils flare, I worked a spotlight at my dad's command. The beam of light shined just over the head of our giddy black Labrador Retriever, past the bow of the boat, and onto the water in front of us. I was outright shivering, but not from the freezing weather. Instead, I was shaking from the icy adrenaline that ran through my veins and throughout all fifty-five pounds of me as I replayed in my head all the stories my dad told me leading up to this moment about the amazing experience of duck hunting.

What happens when the pursuit of belonging turns darkly funny, heartbreakingly real, and deeply human? Rebecca Greene sits down with Oxford PhD student and author Heather Colley to explore her brilliant debut novel The Gilded Butterfly Effect, a darkly observant look at campus life, beauty culture, and the messy search for belonging. Together they unpack how sorority life, loneliness, and female friendship collide in unexpected ways. Heather shares the inspiration behind her unforgettable characters Penny and Stella, the Shakespearean roots of her title, and why fiction helps us feel less alone. Through laughter and reflection, Rebecca and Heather explore why young women crave connection, how easily identity gets lost in the crowd, and why every generation faces its own version of the fitting in struggle. It's a raw, smart, and deeply relatable conversation about growing up, finding yourself, and learning that sometimes being different is the truest form of belonging. KEY TAKEAWAYS→ Belonging can bring both comfort and confusion→ Fiction helps readers feel less alone in their experiences→ Female friendships are often messy, layered, and deeply real→ Loneliness hides even in the most social places→ Finding your people takes time and self-awareness→ Parents can support young adults by listening, not judging Quote from Heather“Finding the right people is everything. The book is really about what happens when you're not with the right people and how easy it is to lose yourself trying to belong.” — Heather Colley Call to ActionFind The Gilded Butterfly Effect wherever books are sold and follow Heather at heathercolleyauthor.com or on Instagram @heathercolleyauthor Learn more about your ad choices.
