Podcasts about fixer uppers

This week, Scott sat down with his Lawfare colleagues Editor in Chief and co-host emeritus Benjamin Wittes and Senior Editors Anna Bower and Michael Feinberg to talk through the latest in national security news, including:“Humphrey's Executioner.” On June 29, the Supreme Court closed out its term with a trio of decisions on the president's power to fire officials at supposedly independent agencies. In Trump v. Slaughter, a 6–3 majority upheld Trump's firing of FTC Commissioner Rebecca Slaughter and overruled the 90-year-old precedent Humphrey's Executor, handing the president at-will removal power over roughly two dozen multimember agencies. The same day, in Trump v. Cook, the Court refused 5–4 to let Trump remove Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook, carving out a special exemption for the central bank. And a day later, in Blanche v. Perlmutter, the justices declined to let Trump oust Register of Copyrights Shira Perlmutter, whose office sits within the legislative branch. Taken together, what do these cases tell us about the unitary executive and the future of agency independence?“For Your Lies Only.” The Office of the Director of National Intelligence is in freefall. Since Bill Pulte—a housing-finance official with no intelligence background—took over as acting DNI on June 19, he has demanded a roster of every employee, fired the head of the office that oversees the President's Daily Brief, and all but liquidated the National Intelligence Council. The fight over his appointment has already cost the government its Section 702 surveillance authority, which lawmakers let lapse rather than leave in his hands, and Trump abruptly canceled the confirmation hearing for his own permanent nominee, Jay Clayton, to keep the “less shackled” Pulte in place. How did the nation's top intelligence coordinator get here—and how much damage can a politicized ODNI actually do?“Fixer Upper.” In one of the stranger turns of the Trump era, Michael Cohen—the former “fixer” whose testimony helped convict Trump of 34 felonies—says he and the president have reconciled. Cohen, who once vowed to flee the country if Trump won, said that the ice between them “didn't just melt, it broke,” and he is now taking a weekend slot on a conservative station with what he says was Trump's “glowing recommendation.” The thaw arrives as Trump's appeal of his New York conviction and related civil fraud judgment grind forward—and after Cohen publicly claimed he felt “pressured and coerced” to testify. What might Cohen's turn mean for that pending appeal?In object lessons, everyone is in a unifying mood. Ben demonstrates how RAGtime, his co-creation with AI overlord Claude to develop and analyze datasets, can find common cause between this week's co-hosts. Mike is enthusiastic about the new Criterion Collection bringing together all of Stanley Kubrick's works. Scott is reaching for perhaps humanity's greatest unifier—a certain beverage that can be enjoyed across political persuasions and coasts alike. And Anna is bringing us all to the world of personal essays with Jo Ann Beard's “The Fourth State of Matter.” To receive ad-free podcasts, become a Lawfare Material Supporter at www.patreon.com/lawfare.

Are there places in your life that you desperately hope nobody ever sees? Most of us have them. The messy storage spaces. The hidden habits. The rooms we keep closed and hope no one notices. The problem is that we often try to renovate those areas ourselves. We play “Fixer Upper” with our lives, knocking down walls and making changes, convinced we know what we're doing. But more often than not, we just create a bigger mess. The key to real change isn't trying harder—it's finally letting Jesus have full access to the messy parts. In this message from Colossians 3:16, we'll discover what it means to let the Word of Christ dwell in us richly and why lasting transformation happens when we stop trying to manage our own renovation project and allow Jesus to have the run of the house. If we're going to take off the old self and put on the new, we have to give Jesus access to every room, every door, and every part of our lives. We also have to allow God's people into our lives as we teach, encourage, and challenge one another with wisdom and love. In this message, we'll explore: • What Paul means by “the Word of Christ” • How spiritual growth happens from the inside out • Why Bible reading, meditation, and Scripture memory are essential for transformation • The role of Christian community in discipleship • What it means to teach and admonish one another with wisdom • How to move from surface-level faith to a deep, structurally sound life built on Scripture • The 3 M's of spiritual growth: Meet, Meditate, and Memorize If you've ever felt stuck spiritually, tired of trying to fix yourself, or hesitant to let others see the real you, this message is for you. This message is part of our Get Ready With Me series, where we're exploring what it looks like to get ready with Jesus every day and follow Him faithfully. Scripture List: Colossians 3.15-16

Most agents can sell a house. Far fewer can tell you whether the numbers actually work. In this episode I sit down with Rachel Kokosenski, an investor-focused agent with the Smallegan Real Estate team in Grand Rapids, Michigan, who has built a business where 90% of her clients are investors, and she did it by learning to speak their language fluently.Rachel breaks down the exact math behind short-term rentals, long-term rentals, and flips, and explains why agents who don't understand investor math are leaving deals on the table, pricing properties wrong, and losing clients they never even knew they had. She also shares a contractor partnership strategy that lets her package and pitch deals to investors before a single offer is written.Inside this episode:The ARV formula flippers actually use and why most listing agents are pricing renovation properties way too highHow to analyze short-term rentals like a business, including the 60% occupancy rule Rachel uses for seasonal Michigan marketsWhy multifamily properties should never be priced like single-family homes and what happens when they areThe Tuesday Zoom and contractor walkthrough system Rachel built to source, evaluate, and pitch deals to her investor clientsHow joining a free local investor group and showing up consistently became her primary source of new businessWant to connect with Rachel?Follow Rachel on Instagram: @rachel_kokosenski Email: rachel@smalleganrealestate.com Website: smalleganrealestate.comIf you want to future-proof your business by learning how the biggest buyer segment in today's market actually thinks, this episode is required listening.

In this episode, I sat down with 10-year mortgage industry veteran Sal Rizzolo, Branch Manager at New American Funding, to unpack what's really happening on the front lines of lending right now. We talked about how AI is rapidly automating cookie-cutter loans — and how companies like Freedom Mortgage and Better Mortgage are already racing to cut human loan officers out of the equation. But instead of treating that as a death sentence, Sal breaks down exactly how he and his team are future-proofing themselves by mastering the 203K renovation loan — an FHA product that lets buyers purchase and renovate a home simultaneously with as little as 3.5% down. We dove deep into how this product creates supply in markets starved for inventory, how realtors can use it to close deals they would have otherwise lost, how homeowners can renovate without selling their low-rate mortgage, and why the most complex, human-intensive deals will always need a skilled loan officer who knows what no AI ever will. Sal Rizzolo Sal Rizzolo is a Branch Manager and Senior Loan Officer at New American Funding, based in Long Island, New York, with a growing presence in Florida. With over 10 years in the mortgage industry, Sal got his start after leaving a career as a hairdresser and was mentored by industry veteran Frank, who introduced him to the business and shaped his client-first philosophy. Over the past decade, Sal has built a reputation as one of the go-to specialists in renovation lending — particularly FHA 203K loans — becoming a pioneer of what he calls "ending renovation discrimination" in real estate markets. He operates across nearly all 50 states and is known for working with complex borrower profiles that other lenders pass on: lower credit scores, higher debt-to-income ratios, and buyers with limited down payments. Sal has hosted seminars for real estate agents throughout Long Island, converting educational events into lasting referral partnerships.

We've all heard the age-old advice you should buy the worst house on the best street - but is that still the case? The divide between what's considered a 'good' or 'bad' street seems to be less obvious than what it once was, and the cost of building or renovating has skyrocketed in recent years. It's just not as easy these days to throw a little bit of cash and a few weekends of hard work at a run down house to bring it up to the level of neighbours.

The Brunch Bunch finishes their Fixer Upper series by discussing practical steps for soul care and what our “necks” have to do with it.Show Notes:Fight to Flourish by Jennie Luskohttps://bibleproject.com/videos/nephesh-soul/https://www.prestonwoodbookstore.comhttps://prestonwoodwomen.org

WHO'S WHO Honoree, Baby Boomer, Catholic schoolgirl (can readily identify any plaid ever used in a parochial uniform), and '70s Playboy Bunny (another uniform—not plaid—blue satin), Barbara Camp insists that “God writes the best fiction, known as non-fiction." Camp's short stories translate bulletproof, Biblical wisdom (both the Old and New Testaments) into everyman, everyday, modern metaphors. Cell phones (Tower of Babel); designer food (The Last Supper); feminism (Samson & Delilah); the Hudson River air strip (Jesus Walks on Water); DNA (The Creation of Adam); Christ's promise of provision (The Fish & Loaves of Bread), and many more. As we worship the created versus The Creator, our anorexic souls are brimming with wildly dubious flim-flam. Popular thought believes the natural can cure the natural, while virtually ignoring supernatural! Let not the herd mentality nor a cancel-happy culture hit “delete” on the ultimate VIP. If God is love, got God?

Vikings QB Options and the Jonathan Allen Fallout: Cash vs Cap and Rebuilding the DT Room — Tyler Forness and Luke Braun return with an “Xs and Skulls” breakdown focused on the Vikings' quarterback outlook while sharply criticizing the team's handling of Jonathan Allen. They argue Allen was a good player who didn't match his $17M AAV expectations, and that cutting him is driven more by ownership cash savings than cap efficiency, creating a major defensive tackle need and potentially forcing expensive replacements or a first-round DT pick. They discuss how scheme context affects grading, compare similar contract-driven fan reactions (including T.J. Hockenson), and note concerns about similar treatment of other veterans like Javon Hargrave and Aaron Jones. At quarterback, they debate vet-minimum opportunities (Kyler Murray, Geno Smith, Kirk Cousins), evaluate Malik Willis as a risky bet, and consider Anthony Richardson as a cheap “fixer-upper.” They announce a 10 PM Central Monday live show on the Locked On Vikings YouTube channel. 00:00 Show Intro Setup 00:54 Jonathan Allen Fallout 07:05 Cap Hits Versus Cash 13:18 Defense Cuts Concerns 18:21 Quarterback Market Shift 21:14 Malik Willis Breakdown 28:06 Anthony Richardson Idea 31:30 Richardson Flyer Bet 32:24 Upside vs Cap Hit 33:36 O'Connell Calls Shots 35:18 Kyler Fit Debate 39:34 Murray Mechanics Concerns 42:16 Fixer Upper vs Band Aid 44:19 Geno Bridge Option 48:57 Job Saving Culture Rant 50:36 McCarthy Still In Play 54:39 Announcements and Wrap Up ____________________________________________________________ ⭐️ Subscribe to us here! - https://www.youtube.com/@vikings1stskol92 ⭐️ Our Twitter can be found at @Vikings1stSKOL ⭐️ Our Discord at https://discord.com/invite/493z6mQXcN ⭐️ Tyler Forness can be read at A to Z Sports - https://atozsports.com/nfl/minnesota-vikings-news/ ⭐️ At Fans First Sports Network - https://www.ffsn.app/teams/minnesota-vikings/ ⭐️ On Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/vikings1standskol ⭐️ Watch the live show here: https://youtu.be/AOoH-tZ4aRM FAN WITH US!!!

In this episode of the Note Closer Show, host Scott Carson sits down with real estate veteran Felipe Soares to dissect the realities of the 2026 fix-and-flip market. With over 18 years of experience and more than 400 rehabs under his belt, Soares provides a masterclass in transitioning from wholesaling to high-volume rehabbing without using your own capital.The Anatomy of a Successful FlipSoares emphasizes that while the business is simple, it is far from easy. He argues that the biggest mistake investors make is failing to truly dial in their After Repair Value (ARV). In a market where values can fluctuate by 10% or more, Soares suggests that if you cannot accurately predict the ARV, you shouldn't touch the deal. He also stresses the importance of the 78% rule; paying more than 78 cents on the dollar (including repairs and holding costs) often leads to negative returns for short-term projects.Efficiency is the name of the game in 2026. Soares reveals his "rule of thumb" for timelines: every $10,000 in scope requires two weeks of work. To maintain this pace, he operates his own licensed construction umbrella, managing four dedicated general contracting crews that work exclusively for him. By purchasing materials directly and leveraging "Pro" relationships at major retailers, he maximizes margins while earning millions of travel points to fund a first-class lifestyle.Key Topics Covered:The Power of Persistence: Soares shared how it took him 18 months to close his first $3,000 wholesale deal, proving that "putting in the reps" is the only way to reach $60 million in transactional volume.Precision Underwriting: Why the ARV is the ultimate "deal killer" and why investors must account for the 90-day FHA anti-flip seasoning rule when projecting exit timelines.Leveraging Technology: The use of AI tools like CubiCasa for instant floor plans and Richer Values for AI-driven appraisal data even in non-disclosure states like Texas.Relationship-Based Contracting: Why treating contractors "like family" and keeping them busy year-round is better than always chasing the lowest bid.High-Impact Aesthetics: Focusing budget on "Say Yes to the Dress" moments—specifically kitchens and master suites—using quartz counters, heated floors, and strategic lighting to trigger emotional buys.Felipe Soares' journey from an underage investor trying to sneak into networking events to a "Stud Muffin-aire" educator proves that success in real estate isn't about luck—it's about systems. By combining conservative underwriting with modern AI tools and a "boots on the ground" approach to project management, investors can navigate even the toughest market cycles.

They also discuss PJ's grooming habits, and Kevin sings “boots, that's my ego boost” approximately 704 times. Then for the theme, the boys are covering something near and dear to their hearts: the TV talent show. They reminisce on everything from Cher Lloyd's iconic Halloween cover of Stay, to Ireland's best talent show, You're A Star. They also make some pretty big claims, including that Girls Aloud's discography is better than the Spice Girls. Fight amongst yourselves in the comments, girlies.

Every generation makes its share of real estate mistakes. Boomers often overpay for upgrades they could easily add. Gen X gets stuck chasing the “perfect” down payment. Millennials keep waiting for a 2008-style crash that never comes. And Gen Z? They fall in love with fixer-uppers they can't actually fix. This episode breaks down those common traps, what they cost, and how to avoid them—plus shares insights from a recent discussion with Congressman William Timmons on the ongoing government shutdown and its potential impact on housing. As always, if you have any questions or comments (or, of course, need a realtor), feel free to reach out to Stan McCune directly by phone/text at (973) 479-1267 or by email at smccune@cdanjoyner.com

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE! It was just another house. Or so Michelle McClane Woods thought when she and her husband purchased a fixer-upper in 2015. With dreams of turning the dated property into a warm, modern home, they began making changes—repairs, renovations, and fresh touches to give it new life. But as they worked, strange feelings began creeping in. It didn't take long before Michelle realized they weren't alone. The previous owner of the home—long since passed—seemed to still be there. And she wasn't exactly pleased with the young couple's vision for the property. From slamming doors to a heavy, oppressive atmosphere, it became clear that this spirit wasn't ready to give up her territory. Michelle began to sense that the ghost wanted things “her way”—the way they had always been, before anyone dared to alter the space she once called her own. Each change Michelle and her husband made seemed to stir up more unrest, as if the entity was fighting them every step of the way. Was this simply residual energy echoing through the walls? Or was it something more personal—a spirit still attached, unwilling to let go, and determined to keep the house exactly as she left it? This is more than a haunted house tale—it's a story about clashing wills, one of flesh and blood, the other from beyond the grave. #HauntedHouse #TrueGhostStories #RealHauntings #GhostPodcast #HauntedHome #RealGhostStories #Hauntings #TheGraveTalks #ParanormalStories #FixerUpperGoneWrong Love real ghost stories?

Queen, let's talk about the mindfuck breakup that's been keeping you stuck—the one with Mr. "Perfect on Paper" who left your soul starved despite checking every box society told you mattered. You know the type: well-dressed, well-traveled, well-paid, and wildly unavailable emotionally. This episode is your permission slip to finally name what you've been feeling and stop gaslighting yourself into believing something was wrong with you. It's time to get the closure you didn't get and claim the healing you absolutely deserve. Because when perfection masks a project, high-achieving Black women like you end up performing emotional triage instead of experiencing real partnership—and that ends today. What You'll Learn • Discover why your nervous system was screaming "something's off" even when everyone else thought you hit the jackpot. • Reclaim your reality by learning to identify "high presentation, low intimacy" men who look like prizes but function like emotional projects • Transform the cognitive dissonance that keeps you ruminating by naming the real problem: you weren't dating a high-value man, you were managing an undercover emotional fixer-upper. • Shift from self-blame to self-empowerment. • Notice how societal programming taught you to override your instincts and perform "low maintenance" just to keep the peace. • Repair what got damaged in the process: your trust in yourself, your joy, your hope, and your ability to love without shrinking.   This isn't just about one relationship—it's about breaking the cycle of self-abandonment that keeps high-achieving Black women trapped in situations that look good on paper but leave us emotionally starved. When you've been conditioned to prove your worthiness of love, your nervous system starts mistaking anxiety for attraction.    Take Action Take my free quiz to discover how your nervous system and survival patterns may be blocking your clarity:
