Matt and Jim are joined by 4th-ranked UFC featherweight Brian Ortega and real-estate TV personality Tarek El Moussa on this episode of UFC Unfiltered. Today's show is one marked by a series of brief cameos — beginning with Mrs. Serra briefly joining her husband in the show's intro and shortly thereafter with Ortega hopping on the call alongside coach Rener Gracie. Looking to get back to his winning ways in his first fight since injuring his shoulder 19 months ago, Ortega reflects back on what went right for him in the cage against Yair Rodriguez in his last fight before the untimely injury put an unceremonious end to the contest. A proud Mexican American set to fight in his parents' home country for the first time in his career, Ortega gets candid about what it means to be in the co-main slot of Saturday's card in Mexico City against a Mexican-born fighter like Yair Rodriguez — especially now that there are added title implications with Ilia Topuria as the UFC's newly-crowned featherweight champion. Then, Jim and Matt are joined by real-estate TV star Tarek El Moussa, who begins his interview with a stroll down memory lane of how he became a UFC superfan before explaining the details of his incredible life story captured eloquently in his newly-released book titled: “FLIP YOUR LIFE: How to Find Opportunity in Distress - in Real Estate, Business, and Life”. When Tarek hops off the call, the guys wrap up the show with some picks for the two rematches atop Saturday's card, Ortega's fight against Yair Rodriguez in the co-main event and Brandon Moreno's rematch against Brandon Royval in the main event.

If you are feeling confused right now, you can rest easy knowing you are not alone. Since the beginning of the year, investors have been bombarded with a cacophony of conflicting market commentary on where best to invest. The indicators themselves, such as the VIX Index, the Coppock Indicator, and various sentiment surveys, also seem to be pointing in opposing directions. For equities-focused fund managers, there's plenty of opportunity hidden within the world's major indices. For fixed income investors, there's more opportunity than ever before in bonds. In the end, everyone is talking their own book. And who can blame them? How else are they meant to attract investors' hard-earned cash? This week's guest is different. She's completely independent and unrestricted by any investment management firm's mandate, compliance team, or asset class. She's nothing if not completely honest. And let's face it. That's really what we all need right now. Giselle Roux has 35 years of market experience. She's worked for the likes of Merrill Lynch, Citigroup, JBWere and Escala Partners. However, since 2019, she's been providing independent advice to a handful of advisory groups. In this podcast, Roux will be providing her unfettered opinion on markets, where there actually is true opportunity, as well as why she believes global growth looks challenged from here.

Doug Baker, head of preferred securities at Nuveen, says that while it is relatively common now to find preferreds with yields above 7 percent, the real opportunity for investors at the moment comes from looking beyond the yield. He says that preferred prices right now are at 'meaningful discounts' that are uncommon in the preferred industry, creating attractive entry points, particularly on preferreds with adjustable coupon rates. He also discusses how the banking crisis, interest rate environment and inflation picture are impacting the preferred market now.

In this episode, we talk about: Why business owners need to focus on the problem they are solving Learning how to grow from a difficult situation that already happened The 4 phases of change that we all go through Recognizing potential gain and then building on it The 5 skills a business owner needs to have success Why people focus on loss instead of gain Memorable Quotes “Our job isn't to keep doing the thing that used to work.

Leaders are Readers Learning and growing as a school leader through reflection, training, and experience is a professional choice. One powerful way to improve is through reading great books, which is why we feature a couple of books on a particular topic each month. These are books we enjoy and believe are worth reading. Our aim is to link great books to our theme for the month. This month we are focused on school leaders recognizing the opportunity within a crisis. We know how incredibly challenging this can be because every issue brings with it the fact that it also dominates everyone's mental energy, which means that looking for opportunity in the very moment that you're trying to solve a problem can be daunting. However, the crisis itself may be our only chance to think differently to not only solve the problem at hand but also determine what advantages may arise during the situation that can be applied in the future. Because this type of thinking is necessary during a crisis, we chose these two powerful books this month. Common with John Maxwell books, they offer sage advice coupled with practical skills. Great leaders don't just read books to gather tips and steps for how to lead but also the style of thinking required to lead better and grow faster. Great leaders are heavy readers and deep thinkers. Joe's Pick: Good Leaders Ask Great Questions Featured Author: John Maxwell If you're going to lead effectively, you have to be able to ask great questions. This book presents questions in two different ways. First, it starts with questions that the leader should ask in various situations. Maxwell lists great questions that can get a conversation started even if you don't know where or how to begin. We can't stress enough how important it is to have canned questions to lean on. Asking great questions to get to the root of a problem is hard, and this book offers several gems. Second, the book details many of the questions that Maxwell has been asked as a leader. The insight into his thinking is powerful and will help any leader consider the various ways to navigate difficult situations. T.J.'s Pick: Failing Forward: Turning Mistakes into Stepping Stones for Success Featured Author: John Maxwell This book confronts success head on and why some people achieve it and others don't. The difference between triumph and failure is a question that many people wonder about and Maxwell offers the answer--response to adversity. He starts the book with a compelling concept from J. Wallace Hamilton who argues that people generally train to be successful while they should be training for failure. And, in typical Maxwell fashion he illustrates his point through great stories, kicking it off with Mary Kay Ash. If you are going to lead you are going to have problems. It's inevitable. Effective leaders not only understand that conflict is necessary but they learn how to thrive amid the adversity as they seek to make a change. It means that great leaders are willing to fail forward as they make things better. It's what Seth Godin says about leadership: leaders are the ones who are willing to do something that might not work. This is a book that won't disappoint, and every school leader should read it. Enjoy both of these books to lead better and grow faster as school leaders. We always appreciate a like, a follow, a comment, or a share.

On Episode 6 of The King's Code, I interview John Barriga. John Barriga is the founder and owner of Intravenous Me, a popular IV therapy provider in Midtown Manhattan. I interview him about how he came to work with me, and what steps he has taken to turn his life around since we've worked together. He first contacted me through my application process. He was, at the time, filled with uncertainty about how to keep his business going during the pandemic, his marriage was suffering, and he knew he had to change something. He was able to turn his life around by taking control of his life rather than sitting back and hiring other people to do the hard work for him. His story proves the importance of hard work and dedication, and to never count yourself out.

Taking an offense means to get angry or upset by something another person has done. They are designed to distract and trap us. If we're not careful our feelings and emotions can take us into a tailspin. So what do we do?

Matt welcomes longtime Purple Patch athlete, Lars Tandrup, back to the podcast. In 2018, Lars and his wife lost everything in the Santa Rosa fires. He was left, quite literally, with only his pajamas - and even those were on fire as he escaped through acres of flames to safety. A few months after this tragedy, Lars came on the podcast to discuss how he hoped to emerge from this adversity. He sought purpose, clarity, and a fresh start with gratitude. Now, almost three years later, Lars returns. What actually happened in the aftermath? How did he do? How has his perspective changed, and how has he used adversity to help others, especially in a year when we've all faced the unthinkable? Lars did, in fact, set his lens forward and developed key elements for an arsenal of performance that he continues to share often in work presentations. This toolbox is paramount to his personal health and has certainly been a catalyst to growth for those he works with on a daily basis. What Are A Few of the Lessons He Carries With Him? Finding Purpose in Tragedy - Helping others by sharing your experience, being a lighthouse for those in need. Embracing Adversity as Opportunity - What can you learn from adapting to stress? Is this a chance to grow and learn? Adversity is not unique, but your response is critical to your path ahead. Developing Tools to Help Deal with Adversity - Learning to react to stress in a more productive way, getting to the root cause of problems, controlling negative self-talk Ultimately, says Lars, living the Purple Patch Pillars of Performance have helped him emerge stronger from this tragedy, and the integrated training, recovery, nutrition, and strength have provided him with the confidence and fortitude to help others. And, when you help others, you use adversity as an opportunity for good.

The question we ask today is -> is there an "end" to fulfillment? Is it black and white or is it a process? We explore the gray area of life, the act of doing. Doing is the means of reaching fulfillment. Even when you're doing things that are great for you, and joyful, you can feel burnout. Burnout comes from monotony, and it's also a phase. It comes and goes! This happens easily with things like diet and exercise, and then it's easy to fall off. If you work through the burnout and trust the process, you can come out on the other side with great new habits and the lifestyle you actually want!

On this episode of the Business Over Beer podcast, we are lucky enough to be at Loowit Brewing Company, speaking with Co-Owner, Thomas Poffenroth, Head Brewer, Landon Smith and Sales Manager, Jason Green. Thomas, and his longtime friend and Co-Owner, Devon Bray, were tired of going into Portland for great beer. So their idea was simple: 1. Open THE brewery serving the Washington side of the Columbia River, And 2. Brew great beer. Now, Vancouver and Southwest Washington have become its own unique beer destination, no longer standing in the shadow of its neighbor to the south, and frankly, where the best beer on the planet is being brewed. As one of the true OGs of the North Bank, Loowit has continued to operate out of the same location in Downtown Vancouver, WA since 2012. And, make no mistake, it was Loowit who was at the forefront of the craft beer movement in Southwest Washington. Prost! The right way to find opportunity in adversity In the 20+ years since the internet revolution, it seems there is nearly nothing that hasn't already been done before in some form or fashion. Try getting your first choice of an email address, a social media handle, or a website address if you want to know what I mean. In a growing industry like craft beer, with so many new products coming out constantly, and worldwide, imagine the challenge to create a new beer name that has never been done before. And if you do choose a product name that's been done before and it infringes on someone else's trademark, you got problems. That's what happened to Loowit Brewing Company with their flagship beer, Shadow Ninja, in 2015. This beer defined their brand and had become so much a part of their identity, even being called "The Ninja Brewery" by some of their super fans. So when Loowit received a cease and desist letter from another brewery stating that it was infringing on the other brewery's trademark, it was an understandably crushing feeling and, at first, they just couldn't see how they could move ahead without their flagship. They could have fought it, but as Co-Owner Thomas Poffenrock mentioned to us, when you have a trademark, it's your right and responsibility to defend the mark. Ultimately, fighting it would have been wasted energy that would be better spent on how to move forward. Interestingly, they certainly wouldn't have imagined back then that they'd actually be thankful that it happened. A blessing in disguise After the initial shock wore off, Loowit knew they had to try and turn this adversity into something positive. But how? What they know now, that they didn't know then, was that the beer was ready for a refresh. This "crushing blow" was actually an opportunity to upgrade their brand and make a splash with the a re-launch. Which they did. Their new flagship, Shadow Shinobi, was launched as "same beer, new name." They released a comic book about the experience, and as a result, sales of the beer increased and their brand was revitalized. The lesson here is twofold Number 1, when an apparent crushing blow is dealt to your business, do not fold under the adversity. Be careful not to waste your time, energy and money sulking, pointing fingers, or looking for someone else to blame. Instead, believe that it is happening for a reason. Do not use it as an excuse to show anything other than resiliency and look for the opportunity within that challenge to improve your business. Second, don't wait for a crushing blow before you look for ways to refresh your brand, your products or your business. Complacency is one of the great threats to any business, and it's an unseen threat, that oftentimes doesn't reveal itself until outside conditions bring it to the surface. So build into your normal practice ways you could blow things up a little that could reinvent the way you operate. Not that you should blow up your business on any kind of frequent basis, but thinking about, and discussing, new ways to look at your business can help you stay fresh, current, and relevant in a very crowded marketplace. And, it's way better that you have control of any explosions, instead of waiting for a cease and desist letter that forces your hand.

This time in history looks different for many of us. For some, it may be time to slow down, pause, and reflect on where you've been and where you want to go. For others, it may be the right time to step into a new idea, a new reality - one that matches with your dreams and career vision. For those of us who are embarking on a new phase, you may be faced with bringing up a new idea or innovation to your team or your boss. You may be afraid of hearing "We've tried that before." The truth is, during this pandemic, and amidst a great unlearning of social nothing has been done before that doesn't deserve a second chance. You can read the full version of the podcast in this email, but if you'd prefer to listen to the audio instead, you can do that here: https://letstalkparks.com/podcast/ In this article, Anthony Iracki dives into this topic and discusses why now is the time to rethink the way it's always been done. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/lets-talk-parks/message

It is exactly these types cataclysmic events that are not just disruptive but, potentially apocalyptic for how some industries conduct business and what types of information becomes transparent. These sorts of changes that are immediate and require a 180 degree shift in outlook are both phenomenally destructive to legacy infrastructure and ways of conducting business. Let me give you my rundown for this pandemic protest economic timeline---in the future ill refer to this as PPE moving forward. OK---let me try and briefly summarize the events and then get into how you can look at these changes to make a bunch of money. Here in San diego we have been fully quarantined since February 14. This first started as a virus and we as a nation reacted to this as a serious threat to human life. One by one large metro markets started to shut down business operations to curtail unnecessary human death. I cant help but, think that the stance on whether to shut down or not to shut down had more to do with politics than with the actual infection or death rates of the virus. On this note: I should probably note that China was only seeing something like a 4% death rate which is terrible but, a 4% death rate doesn’t sound very bad when sars and mers the last two pandemics had death rates of 10 and 30% Either way---- we were all looking at daily death rates and staying home to be on the safe side for a lot of people it started to feel like we were on summer vacation in high school. While everyone is napping and getting their unemployment checks ---that extra 600 bucks a week and a forebearance on your mortgage started to feel pretty good. That is until we started to see massive numbers in the unemployed ranks and for a lot of people when they see unemployment numbers like that its very easy to recall the financial crisis of 2008 Im recording this June 9 2020---the question on everyones mind right now is Are these changes to the employed rolls permanent When will these jobs come back Wheres the opportunity for me? How can I win in this environment? If your like me you want to talk about C. Where is the new opportunity? That’s what Im tyring to figure out. I would love to heqr your ideas –send me an email. On A) The massive and immediate unemployment numbers are due to two basic factors. The first is that it was mandated that non-essential workers stay home. Simple cause and effect. The 2 trillion dollar Cares act in principal was ideally a way to fund businesses to stay open by helping them pay their employees while juicing the actual enemployment payments 600 dollars a week. A lot of lower paid workers were making more than if they were actually working. Theres lots of money running through the veins of our economy so far so good---whats the problem? The problem that we all kinda forgot over the last few weeks is that the virus is going to be a problem until we get a vaccine and a typical vaccine can take a decade or more. The fastest vaccine ever produced is 4 years for the mumps. The good news is that there are 42 clinical trials underway so we could optimistically see something be developed within a year and we then need to mass produce it and mass distribute it. For the US government a year sounds ambitious-----Bill Gates and Jeff bezos are throwing in a billion trying to crack this problem. I have no doubt that private citizens can do this better than our federal government. If we assume the best case 1 year scenario---that means that we need to develop new ways of working within the bounds of covid 19 and social distancing. There will be markets like Texas that find themselves inclined to go completely open with no social distancing or a California that will open with timidly. Before last week I would have been watching the open markets to see if we get outbreaks like we saw in NYC, now im going to be watching the large metro markets with massive and prolonged protesting like Minneapolis , nyc, Miami and los angeles. If we see large swaths of new covid cases due to either the opening up of markets or recent large population events like protests. I want to note one quick but, crucial thing and that is that one of the main reasons that we went into lockdown and social distancing is that we knew that covid was airborne but, what we didn’t know is the disease Rnaught number. If you want to look this up just google r not but, the actual spelling is naught like naughty. An Rnaught number is a diseases infection rates----it can get complicated but, and R0 of 18 says that on average 1 sick person would infect 18 and that 18 would infect another 18 and so on. With an Rnaught of 18 it would only take 1 sick person to infect roughly 105,000 people on the 4 th row meaning . 1 infects 18 that 18 turn into 324 turns into 5800 which then turns into 105000 people. This can get pretty scary pretty quick and even now Im not aware that we know the non-social distancing Rvalue of this disease. As I was writing this Dr fauci was just reported in the new York times as saying that “we are at just the beginning of this”. I wanted to summarize where we have been and where we are mainly because I feel like a lot of people think this virus is nothing but, a different flu. Whether it is or it is not----I know the world is not going completely back to normal in the near future And that gap between our old reality and the new reality is where opportunity lies. If we try and see between those gaps we can find ways in which we can be of maximum service and create a maximum amount of wealth. Who was the famous hockey player that said---“I skate to where the puck is going instead of where it is” This is where we find the winners and losers in the game of getting ahead in life because the margin for error is very small. In order to make boatloads of cash we need to not only find the right lever to pull but, be able to pull that lever at the right time. So—I know we this is a podcast about real estate and we can certainly look at the gap between the old way of selling houses---very high touch and the possible new ways of llisting and selling houses. We can do that but, sometimes its easier to spot opportunities if we can get a little more elevated viewpoint. What I mean by that is that if we are going to talk about opportunities and where they lie we must first remove all the contstraints that you normally have. A lot of people will miss opportunities right in front of them because they often tell themselves why they cant do something. Most often people will say they cant do something –cant take advantage of an opportunity because they don’t have the resources specifically money What I will tell you is that if you want to actually see opportunity---you must find a way to remove those constraints in your mindset. OK—lets look at a somewhat obvious example of looking at something at a macro view and then trying to extrapolate where opportunity intersects that viewpoint. Lets look at education in this pandemic protest environment PPE Education—specifically higher education; lets take a Harvard or Stanford as an example. If classes cant resume on campus in fall----they must start educating online. If all classes are online---how can Harvard or Stanford charge 100K a year? If all classes are online why would entry into Harvard have such a high entry to barrier? You shouldn’t need a 4.3 gpa and a eillingness to get 300K in debt. Everybody should be able to access an online class for little to no money These institutions used to say that being on Stanford campus and having access to other really bright and connected people was worth the inflated tuition cost. With online classes that argument collapses on itself. One other thing is that if we have harvards library of content online why isnt higher education free or almost free? That’s for a different discussion but, those questions can give us a glimmer of how we can up our game. Im not sure exactly how they are going to justify charging 100K a year but, I know that they will It would be worthwhile to look at how these institutions will change their model. What can we implement in our businesses to follow these brands. If we are on this vein it would be instructive to look at fashion. In what way will the fashion industry cater to the high end and how will they change in addressing the midrange market. What are they doing that we can implement to make improve our value proposition in the market? The reality is that most of you listening right now will not have a clear and present value proposition. If I honestly asked you what is the real difference between you and the next guy down the block---most of you will make something up on the fly-----and more often than not its something like “Ill work harder than the next guy” The problem is that you cant exactly quantify that. I can guarantee that institutions like Harvard will have a very clear and concise answer to what is their value proposition. So—what is your value proposition? Don’t be afraid to change and this environment might be demanding we radically change right now. One thing I have seen in this pandemic is that being locked down has accelerated things that were already coming but, we have been very slow to implement. This lockdown has amplified the signals that were already in play and we see the world responding to them---we don’t have to look farther than the protests that then turned into riots. I literally witnessed the san diego la mesa riot------my house is literally 7 minutes away from the little town of la mesa----this is the san diego riot where we saw a chase bank and union bank and a few other businesses literally burnt to the ground. Again—Im not going to take a political stand here---all im going to say is that the market wanted something different than they were getting. How can you be a leader in your market or industry to effect some change even if its only in how you operate? One thing I have witnessed in this pandemic is that our technology is allowing us to work in a very different way than we ever have in history. Never in our history we us humans capable of earning a living and not having to live our homes. Our legacy systems demanded that we get in our car—go to the office and run our businesses onsite. It is at this juncture we might be able to look at human behavior and take a more granular look at where we can use this information and find opportunity. If we just look at the environment from a current pandemic viewpoint. A few things pop out at us---if we just consider pandemic and real estate its almost self evident that in the near term commercial or large spaces are going to have to find a new way to exist. Have you been inside a home depot during this pandemic? The lines are ridiculously long for a store with a giant footprint. Just to give you an idea---did you know that the average home depot store is 105K square feet? To put that in persepective a football field is only 57500 sq feet. If this covid situation persists large footprint stores will almost definitely need to find a more efficient way of serving its customers. Is there a giant opportunity here? Absolutely So if we now zero in on residential real estate where might we find an angle? Wheres the opportunity? If working at home becomes the new standard which I think it will just from a profit and loss viewpoint we will see properties in dense areas become less attractive and larger home spaces with office space will begin to be much more desirable. In many markets this alone could create hot zones within established municipal areas. We will also see cities begin to change zoning overlays to match consumer desires—here in California all residential properties could add a 1200 or 1250 granny flat regardless of the size of the primary home. We will see more of this ---- this will undoubtedly result in the need for underground fiber and super fast internet access. OK---so lot of opportunistic areas to think about just in the real estate vertical. How else m ight we look at this time in the environment and look for opportunity? We started off dealing with a virus and it has since grown into a protest movement. Again---I am in no way getting political or social. Im simply relaying what I see happening in the world and trying to extrapolate that into zones of economic opportunity. I feel its important to talk about all the factors that are changing the fabric of our economy and social life as we know it. We locked down because of the virus and as pointed out earlier that gave way to an unintended and unforeseen economic hit to the global economy. This economic punch to the gut hit the more unfortunate in our social system. People like me and hopefully you listening rolled with the punches of this lockdown…I stopped going out as much but, I continued to make money and working. That is not the case for a lot of people and the second unforeseen and unintended consequence is that people that were being marginalized in our social and economic system started standing up and calling for reform. The black lives matter movement has been aroud since 2013 when OK---hold up here---this whole time I promised not to get political and man I really don’t want to but, I absolutely hate people in authority abuse that authority. I hated it in teachers, I hated it in the kid that always told the teacher on me and I really dislike cops. As an adult----Ive never really had any runins with the cops but, when I was a kid growing up in my small town---ive been billy clubbed by cops as a 16 year old—I was maced as a 17 year old and ive wanted to get even ever since. So when I see a fat cop doing fat cop stuff like hassling people for the fun of it and only doing because they are wearing a badge I detest those type of people. I could go on and on about this but, I wont. I will say that theres no doubt that cops and teachers do bad things and they will get away with it because they can and if they do get caught their unions will protect them. Im angry about what happened to me as a white boy in central California---I cant imagine being a black guy in Detroit or LA and have to live with this kind of anger their whole life. I totally understand why people want these legacy systems defunded and rebuilt. I think we should---I say break the unions----rip away their pensions and start over. And to bring this back around to looking for opportunity----I think we could be on the brink of massive change. We are changing the way we work---we are changing the way we live and we seem to be on the verge of a cultural change and man this change is happening fast. Ive been writing this all day on June 10, 2020 and just in the last few hours---this is the last few hours there has been a call for the government to rename military bases like fort bragg and fort hood as those names are related to the confederacy. Nascar has banned the confederate flag from its events and properties. Amazon blocked the cops from using its facial recognition software and the show Cops was cancelled from being on the air. We are seeing massive change to the systems that have been in place and the norm for the last 100 years. Who knows what we will see tomorrow? It just takes one idea to make you a decamillionaire which is a net worth of 10M or more. We gotta keep our radar tuned to just start looking for high level patterns that are repeating or areas that must be rebuilt. I gotta end this or I will keep talking for hours. Let me end by sharing a few things I think I know for certain. A lot of us have put a massive amount of time into our careers. We have been trying to get ahead based on a relatively stable economic and social platform called the usa. That system, its rules and how it operates is now shifting below our feet----- I don’t know where we will end up. I do believe that these events and the short term and long term uncertainty these events have created have given many people a new lens with which to view the world. Some people will want to tear down legacy systems and others will simply opt out of trying to beat the system—a lot of people are opting for happiness today instead of a potential better life tomorrow. The people that will demand change are the people that have been left out of full participation in this upwardly mobile society and as we have seen this is not only people of color but, all people 18 years old and up. The late gen Xers were negatively impacted by the 2001 terror attacks---this is a time when we gave up civil liberty for safety. We got used to long lines at the airport. Millennials got dealt a 7/2 hand when the financial crisis of 2008 and the gen z graduating classes of 2018 to probably 2024 will come of age in probably the worst economy in modern America. There is no question the world is in for massive change---the real question is how will you carry yhourself into the rest of this year and into 2021? History has shown us that the easiest time to get rich is in times of economic or social upheaval---as for me—im going to try and keep the broadest mind in looking at events and looking for opportunity. I hope that you will join me If you think your business needs a fresh look-------I will be taking on 2 new coaching clients----with me------I don’t make anybody sign contracts-----use me for a month and if your not happy cancel at anytime. I only want to work with people that are serious about building wealth in this environment.

That’s for a different discussion but, those questions can give us a glimmer of how we can up our game. Im not sure exactly how they are going to justify charging 100K a year but, I know that they will It would be worthwhile to look at how these institutions will change their model. What can we implement in our businesses to follow these brands. If we are on this vein it would be instructive to look at fashion. In what way will the fashion industry cater to the high end and how will they change in addressing the midrange market. What are they doing that we can implement to make improve our value proposition in the market? The reality is that most of you listening right now will not have a clear and present value proposition. If I honestly asked you what is the real difference between you and the next guy down the block---most of you will make something up on the fly-----and more often than not its something like “Ill work harder than the next guy” The problem is that you cant exactly quantify that. I can guarantee that institutions like Harvard will have a very clear and concise answer to what is their value proposition. So—what is your value proposition? Don’t be afraid to change and this environment might be demanding we radically change right now. One thing I have seen in this pandemic is that being locked down has accelerated things that were already coming but, we have been very slow to implement. This lockdown has amplified the signals that were already in play and we see the world responding to them---we don’t have to look farther than the protests that then turned into riots. I literally witnessed the san diego la mesa riot------my house is literally 7 minutes away from the little town of la mesa----this is the san diego riot where we saw a chase bank and union bank and a few other businesses literally burnt to the ground. Again—Im not going to take a political stand here---all im going to say is that the market wanted something different than they were getting. How can you be a leader in your market or industry to effect some change even if its only in how you operate? One thing I have witnessed in this pandemic is that our technology is allowing us to work in a very different way than we ever have in history. Never in our history we us humans capable of earning a living and not having to live our homes. Our legacy systems demanded that we get in our car—go to the office and run our businesses onsite. It is at this juncture we might be able to look at human behavior and take a more granular look at where we can use this information and find opportunity. If we just look at the environment from a current pandemic viewpoint. A few things pop out at us---if we just consider pandemic and real estate its almost self evident that in the near term commercial or large spaces are going to have to find a new way to exist. Have you been inside a home depot during this pandemic? The lines are ridiculously long for a store with a giant footprint. Just to give you an idea---did you know that the average home depot store is 105K square feet? To put that in persepective a football field is only 57500 sq feet. If this covid situation persists large footprint stores will almost definitely need to find a more efficient way of serving its customers. Is there a giant opportunity here? Absolutely So if we now zero in on residential real estate where might we find an angle? Wheres the opportunity? If working at home becomes the new standard which I think it will just from a profit and loss viewpoint we will see properties in dense areas become less attractive and larger home spaces with office space will begin to be much more desirable. In many markets this alone could create hot zones within established municipal areas. We will also see cities begin to change zoning overlays to match consumer desires—here in California all residential properties could add a 1200 or 1250 granny flat regardless of the size of the primary home. We will see more of this ---- this will undoubtedly result in the need for underground fiber and super fast internet access. OK---so lot of opportunistic areas to think about just in the real estate vertical. How else m ight we look at this time in the environment and look for opportunity? We started off dealing with a virus and it has since grown into a protest movement. Again---I am in no way getting political or social. Im simply relaying what I see happening in the world and trying to extrapolate that into zones of economic opportunity. I feel its important to talk about all the factors that are changing the fabric of our economy and social life as we know it. We locked down because of the virus and as pointed out earlier that gave way to an unintended and unforeseen economic hit to the global economy. This economic punch to the gut hit the more unfortunate in our social system. People like me and hopefully you listening rolled with the punches of this lockdown…I stopped going out as much but, I continued to make money and working. That is not the case for a lot of people and the second unforeseen and unintended consequence is that people that were being marginalized in our social and economic system started standing up and calling for reform. The black lives matter movement has been aroud since 2013 when OK---hold up here---this whole time I promised not to get political and man I really don’t want to but, I absolutely hate people in authority abuse that authority. I hated it in teachers, I hated it in the kid that always told the teacher on me and I really dislike cops. As an adult----Ive never really had any runins with the cops but, when I was a kid growing up in my small town---ive been billy clubbed by cops as a 16 year old—I was maced as a 17 year old and ive wanted to get even ever since. So when I see a fat cop doing fat cop stuff like hassling people for the fun of it and only doing because they are wearing a badge I detest those type of people. I could go on and on about this but, I wont. I will say that theres no doubt that cops and teachers do bad things and they will get away with it because they can and if they do get caught their unions will protect them. Im angry about what happened to me as a white boy in central California---I cant imagine being a black guy in Detroit or LA and have to live with this kind of anger their whole life. I totally understand why people want these legacy systems defunded and rebuilt. I think we should---I say break the unions----rip away their pensions and start over. And to bring this back around to looking for opportunity----I think we could be on the brink of massive change. We are changing the way we work---we are changing the way we live and we seem to be on the verge of a cultural change and man this change is happening fast. Ive been writing this all day on June 10, 2020 and just in the last few hours---this is the last few hours there has been a call for the government to rename military bases like fort bragg and fort hood as those names are related to the confederacy. Nascar has banned the confederate flag from its events and properties. Amazon blocked the cops from using its facial recognition software and the show Cops was cancelled from being on the air. We are seeing massive change to the systems that have been in place and the norm for the last 100 years. Who knows what we will see tomorrow? It just takes one idea to make you a decamillionaire which is a net worth of 10M or more. We gotta keep our radar tuned to just start looking for high level patterns that are repeating or areas that must be rebuilt. I gotta end this or I will keep talking for hours. Let me end by sharing a few things I think I know for certain. A lot of us have put a massive amount of time into our careers. We have been trying to get ahead based on a relatively stable economic and social platform called the usa. That system, its rules and how it operates is now shifting below our feet----- I don’t know where we will end up. I do believe that these events and the short term and long term uncertainty these events have created have given many people a new lens with which to view the world. Some people will want to tear down legacy systems and others will simply opt out of trying to beat the system—a lot of people are opting for happiness today instead of a potential better life tomorrow. The people that will demand change are the people that have been left out of full participation in this upwardly mobile society and as we have seen this is not only people of color but, all people 18 years old and up. The late gen Xers were negatively impacted by the 2001 terror attacks---this is a time when we gave up civil liberty for safety. We got used to long lines at the airport. Millennials got dealt a 7/2 hand when the financial crisis of 2008 and the gen z graduating classes of 2018 to probably 2024 will come of age in probably the worst economy in modern America. There is no question the world is in for massive change---the real question is how will you carry yhourself into the rest of this year and into 2021? History has shown us that the easiest time to get rich is in times of economic or social upheaval---as for me—im going to try and keep the broadest mind in looking at events and looking for opportunity. I hope that you will join me If you think your business needs a fresh look-------I will be taking on 2 new coaching clients----with me------I don’t make anybody sign contracts-----use me for a month and if your not happy cancel at anytime. I only want to work with people that are serious about building wealth in this environment.

Opportunity and clarity may be two of the most important words you know as a visionary. Everyone who is building their vision is looking for that opportunity to be in the right place at the right time, doing the right thing, to make their dream turn into a reality. But the only way for that to even be a possibility is if you know WHAT you are building and WHY. This is much easier said than done. Most of our lives we operate outside of our subconscious, but most of the answers to our what and why questions reside in our subconscious. Seldom do we ask the right questions to give ourselves the clarity we need to move forward. This is why I brought John on the show. John Marty is what I call a positive opportunist. He puts himself in a position so that he has the greatest chance of opportunity coming to him. It only works because he has clarity on where he is going and what he wants. We know it works because John did something miraculous with his life. He went from a failed start-up and working for $12 an hour at Best Buy to the senior project manager at the wealthiest company in the world, Amazon. He shares his story and his advice for you to become a positive opportunist with clarity of your vision. Want some help finding more clarity in your vision? Schedule a FREE call with me!

It seems opportunity zones are a real hit, so today I'll share some more info on this.Welcome back, everyone! Because I received some excellent feedback from my recent message on opportunity zones, I’ve decided to explain how they work a little more and where they’re found in our local communities. Just to recap, opportunity zones are economically depressed areas that the government incentivizes investment in. Unlike a 1031 tax exchange where you have a mere 45 days to identify a property and 180 days to close on that desired property, you have a 31-month safe harbor to put your money into an opportunity fund. Additionally, you’re not locked into that fund—you’ll have the freedom to move assets from one fund to another for up to a year. Hopefully that answers one of the questions I was asked regarding the risk you’d be subjected to by investing in one of these zones. As far as Los Angeles is concerned, there are 274 opportunity zones within the area—all of Lincoln Heights and the area surrounding LA County and the USC Hospital are a few examples. Beyond that, some other zones lie in pockets of Santa Clarita, South LA, and Orange County. I could go on and on. Also, there are some marvelous neighborhoods in and around Riverside, and you might be surprised to learn that many of them are designated as opportunity zones. Keep that in mind if your son or daughter is an aspiring UC Riverside student and you’re considering a move. Today I just wanted to shed light on some local opportunity zones, but these are just a few of the thousands dispersed throughout the country. To see a full map, you can click here. And if you’re curious whether your home falls within an opportunity zone, all you have to do is click here and enter your zip code. If you have any additional questions or feedback for me, you’re welcome to reach out anytime. Until next time, stay safe and stay happy!
Imagine going to work today, a normal day, and then suddenly you are in the hospital for 7 months and your life is never the same again. That is what happened to Erin in his twenties when he was working on remodeling a Victorian home that caught on fire, while he was inside. He went from being a capable twenty something twenties to having 80% of his body burned and being completely dependent on others for a long time. BUT. There is always a “but” to great stories. Erin didn't let that define the rest of his life. On this week's podcast episode, Erin shares his story and how his business was actually birthed from that experience. He let the incredible challenges he faced shape him, rather than put him down.

When It’s Time To Pivot. How should a Business respond when there’s a tectonic shift in the market? Roland Frasier sits down with Perry Belcher - Marketing Specialist, Investor, and Co-Founder of Digital Marketer. After the election, one of Perry’s businesses (in the Survival space) fell about 60% and they went from a team of 50+ people to 8. But Perry Belcher was able to pivot and come out ahead. Listen to how Perry Knows his audience and made it his business to understand their mental shift. Perry looked at the historical parallels & transferred the same wisdom (and even sourced Ad copy!) to his business and market. Perry considered the Macro picture of what was happening in the market, instead of only looking at his products and his customer. Learned what people want when they feel safe, compared to what they want when they don’t. Pivoted their message (from a Survival message to a Patriotic message). Sold the same core products but replaced people’s entry point. Used his ‘Side-Ways List Building’ technique and set up smart Lead-Sale arrangements with other companies that shared his target audience.

Dave Lukas, The Misfit Entrepreneur_Breakthrough Entrepreneurship
This week’s Misfit Entrepreneur is Marcus Aurelius Anderson. Marcus is best-selling Author, TedX speaker, Entrepreneur, and coach who is best known for teaching people how to harness the gift of adversity. I have had the chance to meet and spend time with Marcus and I was blown away at his insight about life, business, and how to maximize potential. And the story of how Marcus came to be who he is and teach what he does is one of the most powerful that I have ever heard and I know that you will learn a tremendous amount from him. www.MarcusAureliusAnderson.com Marcus started out going to chiropractor school, was married, and following the typical life path. All at once, he got a divorce and lost a strong male role model in his uncle who was a special forces veteran. This caused Marcus to re-evaluate his life and do something he had always wanted to do deep down, join the special forces. The only problem the cutoff age was 35 and Marcus was older than that. But the recruiter spoke with him and saw his passion- and how good of shape he was in, so he signed a release to allow him to join. After the first two weeks of training, he could see that he could do it physically and new his mentality would carry him through. He got placed with the 10th Mountain group. He was having these symptoms that he was writing off to just the hard work he was doing, but in reality he had a C5 nerve root that was compressed in his spine and the disc exploded while he was sleeping leaving him waking up paralyzed from the neck down in his barrack bunk. He was bedridden, divorced, and had nothing. It was at this low point where everything started for him. To come back from things, Marcus had to be operated on and he flatlined on the operating table twice during the operation. After the surgery, they didn’t expect him to walk unless he could in just a few days or he wouldn’t ever walk. Days turned into weeks, then week’s to months. He was bedridden for 3 months and was full of anger. How did you recover? The realization that the anger was not helping him Being angry at himself, his circumstance and everyone around him was holding him back and not letting him be able to move forward. He looked for something to offsite the anger. For him that was gratitude. He took himself out of the equation and asked “Where is the opportunity in this adversity?” At the 11 min mark, Marcus talks about the realization and understanding of what would have happened had he been deployed with his team and his injury happened and how that gave him a very positive perspective and helped motivate him. In fact, he sees the whole experience as making him lucky. It was once he saw his adversity as a gift and found joy in his realization, he began to get feeling back in his fingers and toes. After a year of physical therapy, Marcus was able to walk again. Besides learning how use your mind and bend adversity to your will, what is the most important thing you learned about yourself and the human spirit? The human spirit, body, and mind is much stronger than we give it credit for. We are only as strong as the adversity we overcome, but most people never push themselves in any of those capacities and stay comfortable, so they never learn what they are capable of… We have to learn to stop our mind from shutting us down when we reach the unknown in our lives. We must ask and expect more from ourselves. How does someone push themselves to grow to their next level? It is difficult for us to push ourselves, we need help either in the form of others to push us or having a coach or trainer. Adversity is an adversary and fuel for finding out what you are made of in overcoming it. Pushing slightly past a limit is a little victory and every time you do, you grow. The little victories matter and we must discipline ourselves to seek them and relish in them. Seek micro-adversities Find the gratitude and joy in it all Can you expand on how people can put habits in their lives to push them and stretch them over their adversities? Create micro-adversities. For example, Marcus fasts twice per week to work on his willpower and control. At the end of the day, look back on your day and ask what adversities you ran into and what the opportunity is in them. Self-reflect while you brush your teeth. Push yourself to where you hear the little voice in your head want to quit…and then talk yourself through and power through it. Each time you do it, it gets easier. Use your fear to push you. How does someone get “unstuck?” Challenge your beliefs and ways of thinking Absorb what is useful, discard what is useless, and add what is specifically your own – Bruce Lee Seek wisdom for yourself and challenge yourself to execute in some way on it. Go out and find ways to be uncomfortable. The things you are avoiding are what will grow you and help you get unstuck. Taking some sort of action at all will make a difference vs. not doing anything. What do you see that consistently holds people back from reaching their potential? People are held back by their belief systems and their self-worth What you believe about yourself and your value directly impacts your potential and ability to get to their next level. People ask themselves, “What should I be allowed to do this? Or Why am I better than others in my area of value? They should be asking “Why the hell not me?” There are so many people out there that are not good at what they are doing, but have the audacity to fall on their face over and over again and end up succeeding where others give up. If you are going slow enough that you can control, you are not going fast enough. If everything is easy, you are not asking enough from yourself. How do you teach people to train and program their mind to become who they are meant to be? Using the Adversity Scale where 10 is the worst thing you’ve ever been through and 1 is heaven on earth. At some point, you’ve reached a 10 in your life You need to ask yourself about your 10’s and put it in perspective, is it really that hard or that bad? Could you push yourself even further? Most people operate in a zone 2-4 on the scale If you look at the value you deliver and how it can solve problems on the scale, you can re-evaluate the value for what it really provides and thus the worth of you for delivering it Focus on “quality” value. High standards for everything. At the 31 min mark, Marcus explains what the “Inner Warrior” is and what it means… It means having a mission, a set of objectives to accomplish It is the indomitable spirit to be great and succeed on the different missions in your life from your work to your family, relationships, etc. The mission is inevitable, it’s not if, but when, but more importantly for you, it’s how well and what level it is accomplished at. Focus – If everything is a priority, nothing is a priority There are 3 things that derail people: They don’t have urgency They don’t have a goal or objective worthy of pushing them forward They don’t have even idea of what they want to do Solving those 3 issues helps you to move forward It is about doing all the right things that allow you to be in the right place at the right time What are some topics from your book, the Gift of Adversity, that you don’t usually talk about, but feel are important? No matter how successful you get, there is still struggle, there is still adversity It’s not supposed to be easy. Adversity is the indicator of things being worth doing or not. Parkinson’s law is important to understand. The law states that the amount of time you have to get something done is the amount of time you will take – when in fact, you don’t have to take that time. If you have 2 weeks to get something done, you don’t have to take 2 weeks, it may be done in one day. This helps you to move exponentially faster on your objectives. At the 44 min mark, Marcus gives his 3 steps to help someone in their entrepreneurial journey... Know exactly what your goals and objectives are. Ask yourself repeatedly if what you are doing in the moment is helping you reach those goals or holding you back? If what you are doing is not helping your reach your goals and objectives, how can you course correct to put your energy and effort into something that is? Best Quote: “The body doesn’t tell the mind what to do, the mind tells the body what to do…” Marcus's Misfit 3: Urgency – you don’t need more time, you need a deadline. Have tunnel vision and focus on your mission or objective. Work to be present in everything you do – beware multi-tasking.
4 steps to finding and seizing opportunity in any situation.
In today's episode of The Art of Passive Income, Mark and Scott talk with Jeremy Roll—an active real estate and business investor for over 15 years. Jeremy is currently an investor in more than 70 opportunities across over $500 million worth of real estate and business assets. As Founder and President of Roll Investment Group, Jeremy manages a group of over 1000 investors in the US and Canada who seek passive managed investment solutions from real estate and businesses. Jeremy also co-founded For Investors By Investors (FIBI)—a nonprofit organization in 2007 with the goal of networking with, learning from, and helping other investors. FIBI is now the largest group of public real estate investor's with over 23,000 members. Jeremy is a licensed California real estate broker for investment purposes only, has an MBA from The Wharton School, and is an advisor for Realty Mogul the largest real estate crowdfunding website in the US. Between anticipating the economic downturn and not seeing eye-to-eye with management at the large company he worked for, Jeremy left the corporate world in 2007 to pursue passive cash flow investing full time which was a big step for a low-risk taker who is all about predictability! But, because he had spent the previous several years moving his money from stocks and bonds after the dotcom crash into passive cash flow, he had built up enough passive cash flow to live off of. Jeremy's focus is on low-risk, highly stabilized passive cash flow opportunities. He does not believe in putting all of his eggs in one basket and invests across multiple asset classes, including: Commercial and residential real estate ATM machines Cash flowing websites Startups Listen in as Jeremy shares his philosophy behind predictable cash flow, why he invests in syndications, and why his diversification is across these three components: Asset-Class Geography Operator Find out why each is critical when choosing an investment. Plus, find out the worst advice he has seen given in his area of expertise, and his best or most worthwhile investment. TIP OF THE WEEK Mark: Email Jeremy at jroll@rollinvestments.com. Get the details of how Jeremy does what he does. Scott: Read the book, Barking Up the Wrong Tree: The Surprising Science Behind Why Everything You Know About Success Is (Mostly) Wrong by Eric Barker. It challenges the conventional wisdom that you think you know and puts it to the test and is balanced back with science. Jeremy: Read the books, Rich Dad Poor Dad and Cash Flow Quadrant both written by Robert Kiyosaki. It is recommended to read them in that order. For those who are new to investing or new to general passive cash flow investing or just looking for a change of mindset over the stock market, these are two books to frame a change of mindset. ScheduleOnce - an online scheduler; they sink into your calendar real time, you're able to allocate certain times automatically to them, and it saves a tremendous amount of time. Isn't it time to create passive income so you can work where you want, when you want and with whomever you want?

Edge of the Web - An SEO Podcast for Today's Digital Marketer
Five years ago we started a radio show on the northside of Indianapolis. We broadcasted live at 8 a.m. and decided to save the show as a podcast. In those five years, we've added Douglas Karr to the show, moved to a different radio station, to now . Thank you to everyone who has listened in the last five years! On this special 5th anniversary episode, we are lucky to be joined by Dan Shure, Founder of Evolving SEO, and fellow podcaster - the host of Experts on the Wire. Dan and his wife Sarah run Evolving SEO together in Worcester, Massachusetts and he's also an associate at Moz. We had a great conversation with Dan about SEO which focused on how to find gaps in content, which he called "Opportunity Gaps." Plus, we discuss how branding/advertising and SEO can intersect and can you make improvements to your homepage's meta description? You bet you can! Listen to Dan talk about how Macy's fails at this but gives several examples of who has great meta descriptions! We also spend some time in the show discussing podcasting with Dan and talk about lessons we both have learned from doing our podcasts. Strangely enough, we also find out that the initials of both of our podcasts are "E-O-T-W." Weird... It was a fun conversation and we hope to have Dan on again in the near future! With Douglas Karr of MarTech, we talk about a recent blog post on their website in which they argued that lead forms are dead. Do you agree? Find out about these topics and more, today on the EDGE!
