Part 2 of 2. Juan Leon Laureles was only 30 years old when he was shot execution style on the side of a small gravel road just east of Brownwood, Texas in May of 1996 – his 1988 Ford Thunderbird ablaze. Few theories have been floating around since that terrible, tragic day. The Brown County Sheriff's department has theirs but won't acknowledge that there might be a better one: a theory that actual makes sense and seems to better fit the known facts – that the slaying was an act of hate. But, of course, there are other plausible theories and some recent information that allows for even more speculation. Still though, with the climate of hate towards the gay and lesbian community, among other groups, in Brown County and the city of Brownwood, the possibility that Leon's murder was a hate crime is extremely possible and plausible. Did the Sheriff's Department investigation lag because Leon Laureles was gay? It certainly seems that way.If you have any information on the 1996 murder of Juan Leon Laureles, please contact the Brown County Sheriff's Office at 325-646-5510.You can support gone cold and listen to the show ad-free at patreon.com/gonecoldpodcastFind us at https://www.gonecold.comFor Gone Cold merch, visit https://gonecold.dashery.comFollow gone cold on Facebook, Instagram, Threads, TikTok, YouTube, and X.

Car enthusiasts, gather round! Automotive wisdom flows freely as the In Wheel Time team dives into the ever-evolving world of automobiles, from classic treasures to modern engineering marvels.The episode opens with a worrying trend in automotive recalls, where Mercedes and Ford once again take center stage. Particularly concerning is GM's recall of numerous 2021-2024 models—including Cadillac Escalades, Chevrolet Silverados, and GMC Yukons—for complete engine failures. The hosts reminisce about how such catastrophic failures were once rare occurrences, usually resulting from driver abuse rather than manufacturing defects.Lightening the mood, the team engages in their popular Hemmings Sold Car Roundup segment, attempting to guess selling prices of classics like a butternut yellow 1966 Pontiac GTO convertible clone ($19,425), a pristine 1966 Lincoln Continental convertible ($66,100), and even a 1929 American LaFrance fire truck ($40,425). Their wildly varied guesses highlight just how unpredictable the collector car market can be, even for seasoned professionals.Jeff's Car Culture segment delivers fascinating insights into classics that have unexpectedly lost value. From the elegant 1957 Ford Thunderbird (down from $40,000 to $29,400) to the ultra-rare Ferrari 250 California long wheelbase (which dropped from $12.5 million to $9 million), these depreciating treasures represent both cautionary tales and potential opportunities for budget-conscious collectors.The show concludes with a comprehensive review of the 2025 Ford Explorer. With its responsive 2.3-liter EcoBoost engine (300 horsepower, 310 pound-feet), comfortable road manners, and impressive tech including a 13.2-inch touchscreen, the Explorer makes a strong case in the competitive standard SUV segment. The reviewer's only critique? Perhaps Ford should have focused on making it an outstanding two-row vehicle rather than including a third row better suited for "smaller personnel."Ready to dive deeper into automotive culture with people who speak your language?

From the fabulous HEMI Hideout in Brookshire, Texas comes an automotive enthusiast's dream episode packed with car reviews, market insights, and plenty of automotive banter.We kick things off with a thorough examination of the 2025 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid, assembled right here in America at Georgetown, Kentucky. This small SUV delivers an impressive 41 mpg city while maintaining enough zip to keep driving enjoyable. With sporty handling reminiscent of more premium vehicles, it strikes a perfect balance between daily practicality and weekend adventure capability. At $37,560 for the base hybrid trim, it competes effectively against offerings from Hyundai, Honda, and Ford.The heart of our show features our beloved Hemmings Sold Car Roundup game, where we attempt to guess the actual selling prices of classic vehicles. The results were eye-opening – from a 1969 Chevelle commanding $73,500 to a pristine 1961 Ford Thunderbird selling for a surprisingly affordable $18,900. These market insights reveal which classics are appreciating and which might represent hidden value in today's collector market.Car owners won't want to miss our comprehensive recall roundup, covering everything from Ford's fuel injector issues to Tesla's problematic horn pads. We also explore automotive history milestones, including Chrysler's introduction of the legendary HEMI V8 in 1951 and Richard Petty's rise to NASCAR royalty.Perhaps most relevant to collectors is our discussion of the recent tariff announcement, which includes a crucial exemption for vehicles manufactured at least 25 years prior to import – welcome news for enthusiasts interested in classic international models.Join us for upcoming events including Tailpipes and Tacos at the Lupe' Tortilla on April 19th and follow our adventures on the Hot Rod Tour of Texas beginning April 24th.

Road-trip à travers les grands espaces du Sud-Ouest américain, à bord d'une antique Ford Thunderbird, en suivant la route empruntée par les deux héroïnes de ce film culte américain. Quand on part en virée entre amies aux États-Unis, on dit qu'on est « ready to Thelma and Louise », ce qui en dit long sur la postérité des deux héroïnes du film de Ridley Scott sorti en 1991. Ce road-movie, qui débute en virée joyeuse pour finir en cavale tragique et puissante, en aura pourtant envoyé plus d'une sur la route. C'est le cas de Marine Sanclemente et Catherine Faye, deux autrices françaises nomades qui ont décidé un jour de partir sur les traces de Thelma et Louise sur un coup de tête et de sang, puis d'accélérateur…De cette échappée américaine, à l'ombre tutélaire de Thelma et de Louise, en épousant le trajet fictionnel de ces deux personnages, de l'Arkansas à l'Arizona, elles en ont tiré un récit écrit à 4 mains : « À la vie, à la mort » publié en France, aux Éditions Paulsen. En chemin, Catherine et Marine croisent et convoquent d'autres femmes bien réelles cette fois : Kadena la pompiste, Jan la bimbo armée jusqu'aux dents, Sheida l'Iranienne de Tulsa, Gloria, Mabel, Daisy ou encore Sunny, rescapée de l'emprise d'un gourou charismatique et violeur. Échapper, réchapper au patriarcat et à l'emprise machiste pour mieux exister pleinement, librement sur la route, c'est la trame, le motif du film « Thelma et Louise » que viennent aussi interroger Marine et Catherine dans leur livre, dans une ère certes post #MeToo mais dans une réalité américaine à la sauce red-neck qui n'a décidément pas renoncé à Trump. Leur récit, émaillé de réflexions sur le consentement et les contraintes faites aux femmes et à leur corps, fait aussi office de serment d'amitié entre les deux voyageuses, d'ode au voyage et à ses vertus: la curiosité et l'émancipation en tête, quoiqu'il arrive…sur la route.Une émission initialement diffusée en février 2024À lire :- À la vie, à la mort, de Catherine Faye et Marine Sanclemente.

  In this episode, we are discussing the mysterious disappearance of Bob Wykel, a retired sheet metal worker from Washington with a passion for restoring classic cars. In February 1996, Bob went to check out a Ford Thunderbird he was interested in purchasing, but he never returned. The only person known to have been with him at the time was the man who helped facilitate the deal. Years later, this man was convicted of murdering Bob, but Bob's body was never found.  Get 3 bonus episodes a month plus more benefits at Patreon.com/momsandmysteriespodcast.

 Today's Bible Verse: "Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because, having stood the test, that person will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love him." - (James 1:12) Want to listen without ads?

I'm your host, Jessica VanRoekel. And after this short word from our sponsor, we'll dive into today's Bible verse James 1:12. Today's Bible verses, James 1:12. "Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial, because having stood the test, that person will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love him."  I needed both feet to drive my 1976 Ford Thunderbird. If I didn't keep one foot on the accelerator at a stoplight, the car died when the light turned green. I became adept at releasing the brake and knowing how much gas to give the car. So I drove through the intersection instead of leaping through it, or dying in the middle of it. I'm pretty sure I was the only high school student who drove a vintage car with two feet.  Today's verse talks about trials and what the reward is for perseverance. My reward for learning to drive with two feet meant I was able to get to school and work, I got my education and was able to pay my bills. And in a way, the trials that Thunderbird brought to my life helped me learn to persevere with a difficult situation. There are two sources of trials, temptations which are inner moral struggles and outside sources outside of our control. God uses these to strengthen our faith, develop perseverance, and to grow godly character. They are the means through which we become complete, and lacking in nothing. When we view our trials through this lens, we can respond to trials with joy, because we know the benefits they will produce if we remain faithful in our trust, and hope in God. trials do not indicate God is disappointed in us. They can indicate God recognizes our faith, and has confidence in our commitment to him. Job is our role model of someone who suffered much, yet never wavered in his faith and loyalty to God. The Greek definition for blessed is happy and within the context of this verse it reads, Happy is the one who perseveres. Have you ever put together a piece of furniture with only pictures or directions, it can be so frustrating, get the satisfaction of accomplishing the task results in a contented, happy feeling. We can experience this same type of happiness when we persevere through our trials, and come out the other side with genuine faith. In ancient times, people used metal to make money. This metal was soft, so people would shave it closely and then make more money from the shavings, which produced a counterfeit coin passing as the real deal.  One point in history, Athens had more than 80 laws to prevent the whittle down coins from going into circulation. Certain money changers called Toki. Most were men of integrity and only  distributed full weight genuine money into the economy. Having stood the test means to be proved and tried. The word "Adokimos" is used here in this verse. For the Christ follower who perseveres through the trials they experience and reveals genuine faith to those around him or her. This world needs a genuine reflection of our actions of faithfulness toward God, that match what we say about God's character. God is faithful, to help to guide and to provide what we need when we need it. Our steadfastness will be rewarded with a crown when the work of God is on display through our resistance to temptation.  The final phrase in James 1:12 Is this "to those who love Him," and reveals the motive behind the one who perseveres under trial. The passions for a passing temptation or an easy way out of a trial can only be overcome by a greater passion for the honor and glory and a relationship with God. Charles Spurgeon says this, "they cannot fall into sin because it would grieve Him who loves them so well, and whom they love with all their hearts. And this love for God involves affectionate reverence, prompt obedience and grateful recognition of benefits received as a child of God."  It's like driving with two feet, we keep one foot on the brake to say NO to temptation, or even to quitting on God because the trial is so much. The other foot stays on the gas and says, I love you, God and I will follow you through the outward struggles in life and through the inner wrestling between my sinful nature and my new life, surrender to you. Whatever you find yourself facing today, remember to persevere and you will receive the reward of a happy, contented heart because you gain the victory. And your steadfastness leads to a crown where God's glory shines through you.  Let's pray. Holy God, thank you, that you make away when there seems to be no way, Lord, that you call us to live a life of genuine faith in You, Lord, let us persevere. Let us stand the test. Let us say no to the inner temptations, let us say yes to trusting you. Let us say yes to that affection and reverence and prompt obedience. God we want more and more of you in our lives. Fill us with Your love and Your power. Fill us with Your glory so that the world may see you and want to you in Jesus name, Amen.

It was just after midnight 28 years ago, on May 10th, 1996, that police responded to the scene of the murder of Leon Laureles. Leon's co-workers got worried when he didn't show up for work. Police responded to a 911 call about a car on fire and discovered Leon's 1988 Ford Thunderbird engulfed in flames. His body was found not far from his car. Join Mike and Morf as they discuss the murder of Leon Laureles. Leon's niece, Arlene Harbison, joins us for this episode to discuss the murder of her uncle. She insists that the investigation was short-sighted from the start. Without any merit, the police claimed that Leon was involved with drugs and that his murder revolved around that.

No hay duda: Se ha puesto de moda recurrir a diseños no sé si clásicos o sencillamente antiguos para, retocados y modernizados, volverlos a usar. Es innegable que en algunos casos el experimento ha sido un éxito, como en los casos del Fiat 500 y del Mini. Tengo una duda, ¿no será que faltan ideas? Suelo ser optimista y positivo, pero en este caso me cuesta serlo: Sí, en mi opinión faltan ideas. Si me permitís voy a matizar esta opinión: Creo que hay diseñadores con ideas, pero que están dirigidos por gestores cobardes o, por ser menos duros, no muy atrevidos. Os voy a hablar de tres conceptos distintos. Diseño de autor. En el vídeo dedicado al Lamborghini Miura leía una frase nada menos que de Gandini revindicando el diseño de autor. Entre otras cosas decía “que los coches estaban comenzaron a perder su atractivo” … ¡y lo decía en los años 70! ¿El motivo? Que eran diseñados por un equipo muy numeroso de personas de gran talento, pero todas procedentes de las mismas escuelas, de los mismos profesores, con las mismas experiencias. Marcello diseñaba él mismo cada coche, asistido como mucho por dos o tres ayudantes, pero era un auténtico “diseño de autor”. Algo que se ha perdido. Si miráis en Wikipedia la mayoría de los coches que ya son clásicos tienen un “padre”, un diseñador, solo uno… y no un Centro de Estilo a las órdenes del comité de dirección de la empresa. “Committee design”.Porque, hablemos ahora de lo que los anglosajones llaman “committee design” o “diseño de comité”. Cuando lo cuento, lo siento, siempre pongo el mismo ejemplo: El Ford Scorpio de la segunda generación… lo siento…. ¡es que es muy feo! Juguemos a la historia ficción. Yo me lo imagino esa reunión de la siguiente forma: Los diseñadores presentan la idea en arcilla y unos cuantos señores muy jefes, todos muy conservadores y entrados en años dan no su opinión, sino su instrucción. “Computed Aided Design” que literalmente seria “diseño asistido por ordenador”. Una definición perfecta, porque el ordenador no diseña, sino que ayuda. Pero ayuda mucho. Demasiado. Y es que los diseñadores dan instrucciones al ordenador para diferentes propuestas de tamaño, habitabilidad y disposiciones mecánicas. Y los ordenadores que son muy listos, pero de momento poco creativos, a ver qué pasa con la IA, dan las mismas soluciones. Si tú le dices a un ordenador que quieres un SUV de determinado tamaño, con determinado numero de puertas, con habitabilidad para 5 personas, con motor delantero transversal, etc., etc., etc.… pues, va a responder a todos los fabricantes lo mismo… no hay más que salir a la calle y comprobar que esto es cierto. Así que, ante esta situación, muchas marcas han tratado de volver sus ojos al pasado y hacer reediciones, rediseños o “remakes” de coches antiguos con encanto. En algunos casos, como el Mini, con un verdadero éxito. En otros, como con el Escarabajo, con un verdadero fracaso. Os voy a confesar que la mayoría de estos coches me gustan mucho. O sea, que no me parece una mala idea. Pero no puedo olvidar que son una prueba de la falta de ideas o de valentía a la hora de diseñar coches. Estos coches tan bonitos deberían compartir las vías públicas son coches bonitos y diferentes, con una cohorte de SUV que parecen hermanos sino gemelos, al menos, mellizos. ¡Volvamos al diseño de autor y a los estudios de diseño! Mientras tanto trataré de consolaros con esta selección es la que, como de costumbre, no están todos los que son, pero son todos los que están… y, además, ¡con “bonus track”! 1. Alpine A110 (2017). 2. Chevrolet Camaro (2015). 3. Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat (2015). 4. Fiat 500 (2007). 5. Ford Mustang (2004). 6. Ford Thunderbird (2002). 7. Mini (2000). 8. Nissan Fígaro (1991). 9. Toyota Land Cruiser (2024). 10. Volkswagen ID. Buzz (2022). Bonus Track: Toyota Origin. Coche del día. Me quedaría con un Challenger Hellcat, pero como me gustan las rarezas, ¿Qué os parece si metemos en nuestro garaje al minoritario Toyota Origin? Como inversión, seguro que es mejor idea.

Road-trip à travers les grands espaces du Sud-Ouest américain, à bord d'une antique Ford Thunderbird, en suivant la route empruntée par les deux héroïnes de ce film culte américain.

C'est le cas de Marine Sanclemente et Catherine Faye, deux autrices françaises nomades qui ont décidé un jour de partir sur les traces de Thelma et Louise sur un coup de tête et de sang, puis d'accélérateur…De cette échappée américaine, à l'ombre tutélaire de Thelma et de Louise, en épousant le trajet fictionnel de ces deux personnages, de l'Arkansas à l'Arizona, elles en ont tiré un récit écrit à 4 mains : « À la vie, à la mort » publié en France, aux Éditions Paulsen.

En chemin, Catherine et Marine croisent et convoquent d'autres femmes bien réelles cette fois : Kadena la pompiste, Jan la bimbo armée jusqu'aux dents, Sheida l'Iranienne de Tulsa, Gloria, Mabel, Daisy ou encore Sunny, rescapée de l'emprise d'un gourou charismatique et violeur. Échapper, réchapper au patriarcat et à l'emprise machiste pour mieux exister pleinement, librement sur la route, c'est la trame, le motif du film « Thelma et Louise » que viennent aussi interroger Marine et Catherine dans leur livre, dans une ère certes post #MeToo mais dans une réalité américaine à la sauce red-neck qui n'a décidément pas renoncé à Trump. Leur récit, émaillé de réflexions sur le consentement et les contraintes faites aux femmes et à leur corps, fait aussi office de serment d'amitié entre les deux voyageuses, d'ode au voyage et à ses vertus: la curiosité et l'émancipation en tête, quoiqu'il arrive…sur la route.À lire :- « À la vie, à la mort », de Catherine Faye et Marine Sanclemente.

[TRANSCRIPT] [click, static] Breaker, breaker, this is WAR 1974 calling out from Los Feliz, Los Angeles.  Huh. Low-s Feliz. Loss Angeles. Is it Loss Feliz? Loss Fell-IS? Lows Fell-IS? Francis always said Low-s Feel-iz, but I have no idea if he was right. I know nothing about Spanish, so I'm pretty sure I'd butcher any pronunciation.  Anyway, it's a new day, I've made a shit ton of lemonade with all the lemons I picked in the neighborhood and I'm feeling…well, if not good. Motivated. I'm setting the gloves and Harry aside, the cryptic message and Birdie aside, and I'm ready to start anew.  Except…I don't actually know where to start. I've written down everything I know, gone through it over and over and none of it is clicking together in any kind of coherent way. The best lead I have is what happened in Estes Park and, by extension, whatever the deal is in Denver too.  That's as good a place to start as any. Circle back to Denver, danger be damned, and try to see if that city holds any answers.  But if there really is something there that could harm me…how do I prepare myself? What kind of danger am I looking at? I guess I could get some weapons, get a bigger, sturdier car— Oh yeah, I didn't mention the car I did settle on after the old one broke down. It is a thing of beauty—a 1965 Ford Thunderbird. Red and hardly driven based on the mileage. I picked the first car that worked on the 210 in order to get myself here but then when I saw this baby a few streets over I couldn't resist. It might not be the most practical—not a ton of storage space—but who needs stuff anyway, right? It can hold all the essentials. That's what matters.  But would it hold up in whatever…collision is in Denver? I don't know. I guess I'll just have to find out.  [click, static] [beeps] ---- .-. -. .- -.. --- / -. --- - / .- ..- - --- -- .- - . -.. Tornado not automated

The End of an Era: Farewell to the Two-Seat ThunderbirdOn this day, December 13,1957, automotive enthusiasts bid farewell to an iconic chapter in Americanautomotive history—the two-seat Ford Thunderbird. As production came to a closeon that fateful day, it marked the end of an era that had captivated the heartsof drivers across the nation.During its brief butimpactful run, the two-seat Thunderbird had major implications on theautomotive landscape. Introduced in 1955 as Ford's response to the ChevroletCorvette, the Thunderbird quickly gained a reputation for blending sportinesswith luxury. Over the course of its three-year production span, a total of53,166 units were manufactured.The two-seat Thunderbirdwas born into a market that would be shared with the Chevrolet Corvette, whichhad been introduced in 1953. While the Corvette leaned heavily into its sportscar image, the Thunderbird carved its niche as a "personal luxurycar," providing a more refined driving experience by offering a uniquecombination of performance and comfort.Performance-wise, in 1955 theThunderbird and Corvette were closely matched. Both cars boasted V8 engines,offering drivers a thrilling and powerful ride. The Thunderbird's 312cubic-inch V8 engine, producing 245 horsepower, provided a spirited performancethat rivaled the Corvette's capabilities. When it comes to these two icons onewould not exist without the other. The T-Bird was created to help fill the voidin its product line up that was caused by the Corvette. Ironically withextremely low sales by 1955 General Motors was considering canceling theCorvette. With the Thunderbird coming to market (and a little Zora Duntov) GMdecided to continue the Corvette. So Ford peep's thank the Vette guys, andVette guys show some respect for the Bird.Where the Thunderbirdtruly stood out was in its interior design and features. The Thunderbird wasequipped with amenities that were uncommon in sports cars of the era, such aspower windows, power seats, and a removable hardtop. This focus on comfort andconvenience made the Thunderbird an appealing option for those who sought bothperformance and sophistication.Despite its initialsuccess, the two-seat Thunderbird faced challenges in the market. Ford observeda shifting consumer preference towards larger, more family-oriented vehicles.In response to this trend, Ford made the strategic decision to discontinue thetwo-seat Thunderbird in favor of a new four-seat model that would debut in1958.Today, the two-seatThunderbird is a cherished classic among collectors and enthusiasts. Itslimited production run and distinctive design have contributed to itsdesirability. The Thunderbird'sdeparture from the market marked the end of an era but paved the way for newchapters in Ford's legacy. The two-seat Thunderbird remains a symbol of abygone era, a time when American automakers embraced innovation andcompetition, leaving an enduring impact on the automotive landscape.www.nodrivinggloves.com

C'est la route en Amérique du Nord. Un fantasme, qui s'écoule comme un ruban noir infini, posé sur une terre ocre, brulée par le soleil, et va se perdre là-bas dans le ciel bleu. Une petite ville de bord de route. Une station-service Texaco qui fait épicerie. La voiture est garée devant. C'est une Ford Thunderbird 1966, décapotable, verte. Une voiture de légende qui va bien avec le décor. On the road. Y a un vieux assis sur une chaise devant l'épicerie. Il a une chemise et un chapeau de cowboy. Une petite moustache grise. Il regarde le monde. Y a une musique derrière. La guitare blues de Hans Zimmer. Le vieux regarde le monde qui passe. Il regarde Thelma. Thelma est assise sur le siège passager de la Ford Thunderbird. Décapotée. Elle attend Louise qui est allée acheter des trucs à manger à l'épicerie. Elle s'essuie le front avec un mouchoir. Il fait chaud. Elle est belle Thelma. Des cheveux qui tirent sur le roux avec le soleil. Coiffés en bataille par le vent. Une bouche pulpeuse, des lèvres rouges. Des grands yeux inquiets. Elle n'est pas tranquille, elle est nerveuse. Elle se regarde dans le rétroviseur. Remet un peu d'ordre dans sa chevelure. Un peu de brillant à lèvre. Du mascara. Derrière elle, une silhouette floue. Un homme au bord de la route. Il fait du stop. Marche doucement. Jean clair. Chemise en jean . Chapeau de cowboy. Un sac de marin sur l'épaule. Thelma le repère du coin de l'œil. L'homme repère Thelma. Il s'approche. Thelma regarde dans le rétro. Nous aussi. L'homme s'approche. Il n'est plus flou. Il porte des lunettes de soleil, genre aviateur. Il a l'air sur de lui. Il s'approche encore. Parvient à côté de Thelma. Se penche. Il a enlevé ses lunettes. Il est beau. Jeune. Souriant. Charmeur. Brad Pitt arrive dans l'histoire. Un beau Gosse vient de naître à Hollywood.

A car that was pulled out of Lake Norman on Wednesday belongs to a woman who hasn't been seen for nearly 15 years, according to the Catawba County Sheriff's Office. Human remains were also found inside. Deputies said they were tipped off to the likelihood of a submerged vehicle on Monday, Feb. 6 in the Mountain Creek area of the lake. A fisherman reported seeing a shape consistent with a car while using a sonar device. Deputies said Sherills Ford-Terrell Fire Rescue deployed an underwater robot into the water, confirming the car was there. Crews were able to recover the car on Wednesday, further confirming that it was the 1996 Ford Thunderbird driven by Tina Martin. Martin went missing from her Catawba County home in Feb. 2008, and was 43 years old at the time. Deputies also confirmed human remains were found within, and have notified Martin's next of kin. DNA testing is now being sought; as of publication, the remains have not been positively identified. The circumstances surrounding Martin's disappearance still remain under investigation.

Some bipartisan support signals a potential override of any veto by Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper, who issued one that blocked similar legislation two years ago. Like the 2021 proposal, the new bill was spearheaded by Republican House Speaker Tim Moore, who has cited rioting and looting that he saw firsthand in downtown Raleigh in June 2020 amid otherwise peaceful protests as an impetus for the legislation. The bill, which has one House Democrat as a chief sponsor, cleared the chamber 75-43 with six Democrats and all Republicans present voting yes. It now heads to the Senate. Republican gains in both the House and Senate from elections this past November now give the GOP a veto-proof majority in the Senate and put it within one seat of a similar majority in the House.

Don Page, ME, MBA, is the Director of Engineering at Good Samaritan Hospital (GSH) in Vincennes, Indiana. Don has had the opportunity to fill this role for the past 12 years, the passion to be successful for the patients and their families keeps him inspired to do all he can for the communities we serves. Don's responsibilities at GSH include oversight of Bio-medical engineering, plant operations, general maintenance, and all renovation/construction projects. Most importantly He fills the role of being a “caregiver” to whoever needs assistance within the facility whether that is a patient, family member, or co-worker. His goal at work is pretty simple; “Make a Difference”, three little words that have a big impact. Whether it's construction of a multi-million dollar facility, working with problem solving teams, or simply giving someone directions in the hall, all contribute to the simple “Make a Difference” goal. This is something anyone can do without much effort and regardless of their position. Don had the opportunity to build the new 5 story patient tower (Gibault Memorial), along with renovations throughout much of the remaining space. Having completed many other projects of varying sizes throughout his career, working with department leaders and staff to ensure we are meeting their needs. One very exciting current project Don is working on is a “pre-fab” concept for the HVAC replacement in our main surgery suite, the goal is to minimize downtime and maximize revenue generation during the installation. Lastly, building a strong, cohesive engineering team has also been a priority to ensure we provide the best service possible to our patients and co-workers. The past 5 years Don has served on the ISHE (Indiana Society of Healthcare Engineers) board in various capacities, currently being in the position of past president, and ASHE Liaison. In 2020, received the “Engineer of the Year” award from ISHE, and in 2022 was honored to receive the “MAX” award. This award recognizes the recipient's dedication to ISHE and healthcare engineering. Prior to serving as president he was the “Midwest Healthcare Engineering Conference” committee chairperson for 2 years. As far as interests and hobbies it can be summed up as “all things outdoors”. Don enjoys running, golfing, pickleball, hiking, and hunting. For the past 6 years Don has also been refereeing high school basketball as a way to stay connected to the game he truly enjoyed playing for many years.

È un Don Pasquale divertente e frizzante quello in scena al Teatro Verdi di Trieste che strappa sorrisi e risate pur mantenendone elevata l'interpretazione lirica. Il regista Gianni Marras, con un attenta rilettura, ha scelto un registro ironico, a tratti caricaturale,  per questo bell'allestimento del Teatro Comunale di Bologna (2008) dell'opera buffa di Gaetano Doninzetti. Marras rende omaggio all'aspetto innovativo del compositore bergamasco e, forte anche della sua formazione nei musical, tinge l'opera di  colori vivaci e di ammiccamenti continui ai ruggenti Anni ‘50-60, sostenuto dagli allegri costumi di Davide Amadei. Si respira cosi un'atmosfera da Cinecittà in questa lettura registica piena di inventiva, leggera ma non superficiale. L'opera calca perfettamente e con equilibrio l'impronta della commedia all'italiana: propone citazioni che ricordano il clima e i film di quegli anni - grazie anche alle scene allusive, vere e proprie citazioni, ideate ancora assieme ad  Amadei e ispirate ai fumetti americani- sullo sfondo di una Roma monumentale- ricca  di simboli del boom economico del dopoguerra come la Vespa, o la lussuosa auto americana,   la mitica Ford Thunderbird, e pure il casco da parrucchiere per la bella Norina, interpretata dall'albanese Nina Muho (ancora in scena il 3,5,7 aprile), che ammicca alla Marisa Allasio di Poveri ma belli (1957) o alla  Audrey Hepburn di Vacanza romane (1953). Perfettamente calati nella parte anche gli altri protagonisti:  e così, con  il ciuffo e le movenze alla Elvis Presley, Antonino Siracusa dà vita ad  un gustoso Ernesto  perfettamente a suo agio nel registro ironico (splendida la gag in tuta  spaziale con il simbolo dell'Unione Sovietica a ricordare l' astronauta Yuri Gagarin o quella in cui novello Bobby Solo canta l'aria più celebre dell'opera). Questa modernizzazione funziona anche con tutti gli altri personaggi dallo spagnolo Pablo Ruiz ( per la prima volta a Trieste), che porta in scena un più che convincente Don Pasquale, al brillante Vincenzo Nizzardo nei panni del dottor Malatesta,  quasi dei papabili Totò e Peppino  Ottima la sintonia tra palcoscenico e orchestra grazie anche alla conduzione d'orchestra del maestro Roberto Gianolla, di ritorno sul podio del Verdi, che assieme al direttore artistico Paolo Rodda ha lavorato sapientemente sulla qualità del suono nonostante l'orchestra non sia ancora collocata nella  buca per l'emergenza sanitaria. Ne risulta un emissione orchestrale soffusa e presente che valorizza la linea melodica senza coprirla. Applausi anche per il bravo mimo Daniele Palumbo, che pur non cantando, con il suo trasformismo  alla Fregoli si pone protagonista della serata svolgendo funzione di collante tra le varie scene. Funziona dunque questa rilettura del  capolavoro di Donizetti che, senza alterare la storia, trasforma i personaggi negli antesignani di quelli che col tempo sarebbero diventati i comici e le soubrette dell'operetta e poi dell'avanspettacolo e  rende omaggio ad un periodo felice dello spettacolo italiano. Nel cast anche  César Cortés (2, 5, 9/IV), Elisa Verzier (2, 9 /IV), Michele Govi (2, 9 /IV)e Bruno Taddia (2, 9 /IV). Qui un approfondimento con il regista Gianni Marras ai microfoni di Monica Ferri per Teatralmente:

Hello Interactors,Our family hit a snag in the transportation department last week. Our routine was disrupted making us scramble for remedies — including possibly needing a new car. It all came at a time when the state of Washington released its 2021 figures on automobile related deaths. It made me wonder and reflect on car dependency, the Covid funk, and the psychology of cars. As interactors, you’re special individuals self-selected to be a part of an evolutionary journey. You’re also members of an attentive community so I welcome your participation.Please leave your comments below or email me directly.Now let’s go…CHITTY CHITTY BANG BANG“It’s making a strange noise, shifts awkwardly, and smells funny,” my son and daughter exclaimed. There had been similar reports previously, but things had worsened. “It seems ok on the straights, but sounds and feels worse going down hill,” they added. Then, as my daughter got in the car to go to swim practice, she soon came back inside and said, “I’m taking the other car. Uno is making an awful noise and smells even worse than before.”Our kids call our 2006 Audi A3, Uno. The Washington State Licensing authority named it when it was born. They even sent us two rectangular plates with its name stamped into it, along with a few appended random numbers. We mounted one on its nose and the other on its rear-end. Our kids use Uno to commute to school 12 miles away as well as other errands, appointments, and events. They both have a bit of an emotional attachment to this aging little black hatchback. Uno even becomes Dracula during Halloween when they affix dangling white fangs on each side of the license plate frame.I’ve had an emotional attachment to Audi’s since I was a kid. I saw my first Audi in the mid-70s. It was Audi’s first car sold in the United States – The Audi Fox. A guy down the street owned one. His name was Delbert Woody. I was drawn to Delbert. He was a World War II veteran who personified the post-war male mystique. He rode a dirt bike in the open field behind his house, was an avid hunter and fisherman, drove construction trucks for a living, was a life long Teamster Union member, and loved pecan pie and Pepsi. He, like so many other war veterans, got married after the war and settled in the suburbs. They were the first to move into one of Norwalk, Iowa’s first subdivisions in 1960. Their single story ranch house, nestled neatly in a line of others just like it, sat on a hill below the water tower at the edge of town on a street aptly named: Edgemont.Also in keeping with post-war tradition, he had a fascination with cars. I remember him owning more than one and this was during the 1970s gas crisis and recession. Audi entered the U.S. market selling the Fox as a ‘solution to the gas problem.’ The Fox was marketed as a sports sedan with a sporty suspicion, front-wheel drive, and an engine that could get 25 miles to the gallon. All for $3400. That’s roughly $20,000 today. I can see how a masculine blue collar gearhead like Delbert was attracted to this car, despite it being German.I’m not sure what I liked about it. Maybe it was the novelty of a foreign car in small Iowa town, the European styling, or maybe it was the cool fox emblem on the back. Probably all the above. The truth is, Delbert and I, and all auto-dependent motorists, share something in common. We all have brains that contain two separate modules that combine to form relationships with automobiles.One of these cranial circuits uses cool calculating rational thought that views a car as a utility – an appliance. It’s sensitive to numbers: miles per gallon, range, price, 0-60, reliance ratings, and a myriad of other self-justifying statistics. The other side of the brain tugs on our heart strings. Emotional affections warm our heart in the comfort of a climate controlled cocoon. It makes our heart go pitter patter with the status cars provide, or cause our pulse to quicken at the sudden and effortless acceleration through space.Both of these neuro-negotiators conspire to construct our comforting and sometimes conniving relationships with cars. And automakers have learned how to manipulate both of these brainy battles through design and marketing.Uno got its name from a random license plate generator, but automakers are less random. For Delbert Woody’s Audi Fox, Audi wanted to associate that car with a fox. A fox is agile, strong, fast…and cunning. Many animals are. Which is why it’s not hard to find cars named after animals. Here are just a few: Plymouth Barracuda, Mercury Sable, Buick Skylark, Corvette Stingray, Pontiac Sunbird, Ford Thunderbird, Dodge Viper, AMC Eagle, Chevrolet Impala, and who can forget the Ford Pinto.As you can see all of these are American made cars. U.S. automakers also like aggressive macho sounding names. Especially Dodge, with names like Challenger, Ram, and Avenger. Europe and Japan have a few examples like the Fiat Spider or Suzuki Samurai, but nothing like the U.S. You may be thinking to yourself, what about the iconic Volkswagen Beetle? Sorry, but that’s a nickname. It’s official name in Germany was Volkswagen Type 1. What about the Volkswagen Rabbit? It was the Volkswagen Golf in Europe. And Delbert’s Audi Fox would have been called the Audi 80 anywhere else but America.The design of vehicles are also expressive. When Uno dawns his fangs at Halloween, the gimmick only works because the headlights make the eyes and the grill its mouth. Different cars take on different personalities when viewed from the front, or more commonly, when viewed in your rear view mirror. There’s speculation by some psychologists that these personalities may even be reflected in the owners and their driving behavior. There is certainly evidence that some car design and some drivers have become more aggressive over time. But it’s equally true that some aggressive looking cars are sometimes driven by passive people. Or maybe they’re using the design of their vehicle to hide or express some other hidden or deep seeded emotion or personality trait.RAGE DISPENSED THE MACHINEStefan Gössling is a professor of social science at Lund University in Sweden. He researches and writes extensively on transportation. In 2017 he released a book called The Psychology of the Car. He says there are a wide range of emotions that relate to the power and dominance that play a central role in car culture. He cites research affirming “that driving powerful cars is generally understood as a means of expressing macho personalities.” Driving a powerful car exudes superiority and control.He lists different aspects and levels of control we have driving cars:Agency: To be able to decide when to leave at any point in time, and for any given destinationSemiotics: Being in charge: control of inside (music, temperature) and outside environment (navigation system, speed), and car physics (fuel levels, revolutions per minute)Haptics: Holding the steering wheel, pushing pedals, shifting gearsSmells and soundscapes: Choice of smell or music, interiorPhysics of movement: Being able to drive fast, to accelerateBut he also quotes the sociologist, John Urry. He too wrote extensively on the sociology of mobility, especially regarding the loss of control that can come with controlling a fast moving machine. The automobile, while offering us much control, can also rob us of critical experiences. He writes,“Dwelling at speed, car-drivers lose the ability to perceive local detail, to talk to strangers, to learn of local ways of life, to stop and sense each different place. Sights, sounds, tastes, temperatures and smells get reduced to the two-dimensional view through the car windscreen and through the rear mirror, the sensing of the world through the screen being the dominant mode of contemporary dwelling. The environment beyond that windscreen is an alien other, kept at bay through the diverse privatizing technologies incorporated within the car. These technologies ensure a consistent supply of information, a relatively protected environment, high quality sounds and increasingly sophisticated systems of monitoring. They enable the hybrid of the car-driver to negotiate conditions of intense riskiness on high-speed roads.”Our roads are designed to drive at high speeds. They even include optical illusions to put you at ease. For example, the length and distance between dashed lines on highways are designed to trick your brain into believing your body is moving slower than it really is. And while there have been many amazing safety advancements in the engineering of roads and cars for those inside the vehicle, they’ve inadvertently made them increasingly dangerous for those outside of the vehicle.Washington state ended 2021 with the highest number of road fatalities in 15 years. There were more than 540 fatal crashes killing over 600 people. One hundred and eighteen of whom were walking or riding their bike. An additional 2,411 crashes were estimated to have caused serious injury – a 16% rise over 2020. Thirty one people were killed in Seattle alone in 2021.While the design of our infrastructure and vehicles encourages speed, other factors are at play as well. Alcohol and drug related crashes have continued to climb 25% since 2019. Speed also was a major factor climbing 18% since 2020.There are a multitude of interrelated factors that lead to increasing numbers of motorists killing and injuring people – especially cyclists and pedestrians. But given the social malaise that has overcome us all over the last few years, anger and aggression are likely key factors. Whether it’s lockdown lunacy, income inequity insanity, racial reality, gender gut checks, or fights between the lefts and the rights there are ample reasons for us all to be disturbed.There are also threats to the status quo. Increasingly cities are seeing bike and bus lanes squeezing out car lanes, rising gas prices, and talk of congestion fees. Meanwhile, automakers are ditching the traditional internal combustion engine for progressive green machines. These are levels of social change that many welcome, while others reject – especially those adverse to change or who feel their individualism is threatened.So they take it out on others on the road. We’ve all witnessed, or are guilty of perpetrating, acts of aggression on the road: dodging and weaving through traffic, tailgating, flashing lights, running red lights, honking, flipping the bird, or yelling out the window. Worse yet, extreme forms of road rage where people take chase in a fit of anger to inflict harm or intimidation. There are more passive aggressive examples too, like parking in a bike lane, stopping in a cross walk, or failing to yield to a blinkering merging bus.In 1994, Jerry Deffenbacher, a Colorado State psychology professor who studies correlations of anger and anxiety with behavior, created a Driving Anger Scale that scientists have been using since. Results as recent as 2016 suggest personality traits like “impulsiveness, narcissism, and normlessness” confirm studies from 2013 that link narcissism to aggressive driving. One researcher concluded: “driving anger of narcissistic individuals may result out of threats to perceived power, control, and position rather than to image and attention seeking.”Results also vary by age, gender, driver experience, and culture. In a country who’s culture flaunts and breeds narcissism, individualism, and macho maleness – possibly even overly tolerant of outward expressions of anger as an acceptable emotional response – we should not be surprised to see increased aggression on the part of some motorists.Sometimes anger directed at strangers can take the form of contempt. The car then becomes a way to separate one’s self from others deemed inferior or from an anxiety inducing changing environment. Here’s how one geography researcher, Jason Henderson of San Francisco State University, described an SUV driver in a 2006 study looking at the politics of automobility in Atlanta, Georgia.  “After spitting into a toll collection device on the highway, the angry white male described his disdain at the possible alternatives to his SUV — a compact urban form with intensive transit infrastructure containing pedestrian and transit spaces where people would have physical proximity to ‘others’ of different racial, class, gender or sexual orientation. Seen in this context, his SUV was more than just an instrument for traveling through the city. It was an instrument of secession from what he scorned in contemporary American urban space.”WITH URBAN FRICTION COMES CAR ADDICTIONWe took Uno to the doctor. We had a sneaking suspicion it may be done for. When my wife pulled into the shop they said, “You best turn that off, it doesn’t sound good. You probably should have had it towed.” But after waiting a few days for the prognosis, it turned out to be a couple bad spark plugs, failing coils, and noise inducing broken catalytic converter.When my son heard this news, he said, “Let’s straight-pipe it!” Straight-piping is when you remove emission reducing mechanisms so that the sound, and pollution, from the engine goes straight out the tailpipe. Both my son and my daughter have an affinity for loud cars. My son can tell you the make and model of a car just from the sound of the exhaust. He’s a combusting carbon connoisseur. And lucky for him, there seems to be an increasing number of loud tailpipes these days.I’m more aghast at the uproarious racket. I grumble and mutter under my own exhaust as these cars rumble by, “There goes another UAS. Urban Attention Seeker.” And it seems I’m right. Overly loud modified exhausts, or even some motorcycles (I’m looking at you Harley Davidson), are symbols of rebellion. They signal to anyone in ear shot opposition to authority and social norms. They scream, “NOTICE ME!”In Gössling’s book he cites the research of Robert Merton who is regarded by many as the founder of modern sociology. He also studied criminology where he developed strain theory which says strain in an individual can come about in a society that pressures people to attain more than they can possibly achieve. So they seek forms of rebellion. More recent advances in this theory by the criminologist and social psychologist Robert Agnew point to three factors that lead to criminal acts of rebellion. They largely stem from childhood stress, trauma, victimization, and neglect:The inability to achieve positively valued stimuli (e.g., money, status, autonomy)The loss of positively valued stimuli (e.g., loss of romantic partners, property)The presentation of negatively valued or aversive stimuli (e.g., verbal and physical abuse)But loud cars, or motorcycles, can just as easily be driven by financially successful people at the top of the social status hierarchy. These are the cars my son most admires. They’re hyper or super cars made by companies like Lamborghini, Ferrari, or Mercedes Benz. One of his favorites is the throaty land yacht by Mercedes Benz – The G Wagon. These are less emblems of rebellion and more signals of status. Both are forms of attracting attention.And so is an Audi A3. Even though it was the cheapest car Audi sold at the time, it is still a luxury German automobile. And while it is a brand I dreamed of owning since childhood, I can’t deny my purchase also helped to signal my status. If my rational brain had one out, and I viewed the purchase of the car as an appliance for mobility, I could have easily put myself into a more affordable hatchback. As one friend put it, the A3 is really just a Volkswagen Golf for grown ups. Works for me.We decided to keep Uno in the family. And sorry, son, Uno won’t be straight-piped. It’s getting a new catalytic converter…even though replacing it will cost more than the car is worth. This is the last year our kids will be driving Uno to school together and they want that little car to be a part of it.Our kids could ride a public bus to school, but it takes an hour to go 12 miles and they have afterschool activities at locations far and wide. My son took the bus for a year and it left him exhausted with little time for homework. We chose to put them in this school, but we didn’t chose the car dependent design of our surrounding cities.When it comes to car dependency, it turns out there really are two sides of the brain at work; one rational and one emotional. Gössling breaks them down into ‘real’ and ‘perceived’ dependencies. ‘Real’ dependencies are like what I just described. There are aspects of urban planning and design that intentionally require people to have a car to live a modern, happy, healthy, and productive life. The car is an appliance that gets you to the doctor, practice facility, grocery store, or school on time – places that require a car and are practically inaccessible by anyone who cannot or choses not to drive a car.‘Perceived’ dependencies are rooted in fears and emotions where, as Gössling says, “alternative transport is considered ‘dysfunctional,’ i.e., creating anxieties related to complexity (buying tickets, finding ways), claustrophobic spaces, monitoring in ‘militarized’ environments (control, security), encounters with marginalized people (homeless, alcoholics, drug addicts), or specific smells and noises. Car use may also be related to status, fright-flight-fight responses, or other fears and phobias. In such situations, car reliance may be considered an addiction.”Automakers feed this addiction through advertising, marketing, and design. As Gössling summarizes in his list of car industry appeal strategies. I can imagine these being whispered seductively to the emotional side of our brain:The car will be good: The car is increasingly less polluting and safer in trafficThe car is your home: Home and car melt into one spaceThe car is your partner: You are a more capable person in cooperation with your carThe car will protect you: It is a dangerous worldYou need the car: Appeals directed at subconsciousBe aware of government: Someone is trying to take away your carI for one am ready to break the addiction. Who knows, once our kids leave the house for college, maybe it will be time for Uno to graduate too. That someone trying to take away the car may just be me. Unless, of course, Audi releases an electric retro Audi Fox!Thank you for reading Interplace. This post is public so feel free to share it. Subscribe at interplace.io

My name is Jesper galley. And on this show, we discuss all things real estate with investors and experts in a variety of industries that impact real estate. Whether you're looking at your first investment or raising your first fund, join me and let's build that portfolio one square foot at a time. Hey, my name is Jesper galley and you're listening to working capital the real estate podcast. We have a special guest today that is Brie Schmidt. Brie acquired her first investment property in 2011 and left the corporate world in 2014.   When she became a full-time real estate investor is the managing broker of second city real estate, a full service brokerage working with new investors and seasoned investors, looking to expand their knowledge of the industry and their portfolio. I had the special pleasure of being on a panel with Bree in new Orleans at the bigger pockets conference. Bree, how are you doing I'm   Brie (54s): Dan. Great. Thanks. How are you?   Jesse (56s): I'm doing fantastic. Well, I appreciate you coming on the show. I thought just, you know, we were talking before the show. I think it would be really interesting to have you on because we talked a lot, but you know, across that panel and I think it would be a treat for listeners to talk not just about multiple larger units when it comes to multi residential, but to talk about the mid and lower size units or smaller size units and kind of approach it from the perspective of the kind of unique markets that you're in. So maybe to kick us off, why don't you give us a little bit of a, of a background for yourself, for listeners, how you got into real estate?   Brie (1m 35s): So I always say I used to be a normal person. I used to have like a normal job and normal, you know, grind go to the grind kind of goals in life. So I used to work in advertising sales. I used to work in business development and advertising sales never really saw myself doing anything different. You know, it was really had aspirations of being a female CEO one day. So I live in the Chicago market, which we were talking about before show is a somewhat unique market, as far as housing stock.   There's very few cities in this country that have a large portion of two to four unit multi-units. So depending on the neighborhood in Chicago, it can be between 50 and 70% of our housing stock is two to four unit properties. And they're generally about a hundred thousand dollars, less than a single family home. So at the time I was think I was just getting engaged and my fiance and I were talking about, and you're like, what are our life plans? They're like, well, we want to, we want to buy a single family house, but like, we don't need, we don't need that sort of space right now.   So that was our plan was we bought a three unit property. We did a quote-unquote house hack, you know, standard FHA loan. And our plan was, you know, at some point we would need more space. We could, you know, take out a wall, move a staircase. Now we took up two of the three floors. And then at some other point we'll need the other space. We'll just, you know, get and take out a wall and move a staircase. And we'll eventually just take this house and convert it to a single family home. So that was our hundred, like end all be all goal with real estate investing. About three months after we bought the property, my father was diagnosed with a very aggressive form of cancer and he passed away a few months later.   And the thing is the day before he was supposed to retire is when he passed away and we already planned his retirement party and it now became his wake. And it really resonated with me as, because I would just think back of all the things my dad would say, like, when I retire, I'm going to go do this. When I retire, we're going to go to Thailand. You know, I'll retire after you get married or I'll retire when your brother had finished his PhD. And like, he always had all these dreams and goals that he never got to see because he never took action on it.   So here I am, 28 years old, you know, working 60 hours a week, traveling all over the country for somewhere else. And I'm like, this sucks. You know, like this is a terrible life. I've got, you know, 30 plus years till retirement. And I'm going to be in the same position as my dad. You know, I've always wanted to go to Italy. I've always wanted to go do these things and I've done nothing with them because I was too focused on work. So it really changed my perspective on life and decided to reorientate things.   And that's how I got into real estate investing. So you'll, you'll figure out, you know, I just go, I'm a bull in a China shop kind of person. So within the, we bought our first property in 2011, we bought another property in 2012. We did it again in 2013, that 2013 property was a renovation property. We bought like a 1960s house and completely renovated it, you know, pulled cash out. And that is when I found a website called BiggerPockets, which I'm sure you know about.   And it completely changed everything that I was doing. I had never talked with another investor. I had never read a book about investing. I was just kinda, you know, winging it. And it opened up this whole new world of possibilities. So we were sitting on a decent chunk of cash and now I had all these possibilities in front of me and opportunities to learn. So we went full forward ahead. So we looked at other markets to invest in while I love, love, love Chicago.   It's not really a cashflow based market. It's more of a balanced, you know, similar, not as expensive as California, but you know, similar sort of market, New York as well. You're just not going to be retiring off cashflow here. So I, I took some time. I looked at Milwaukee, Kansas city, Indianapolis spent some time in those markets, learning those markets and we decided to invest in Milwaukee. So for you guys that don't know it's about an hour and a half drive, so it's a, you know, easily commutable distance.   So in, let's see, 2015, we bought 10 properties and then 2016, I bought another eight. And then I had partners. I worked with that. I bought another 10 in 2016. So we went quite all in and fast growth trajectory on our acquisitions in those markets. So that's kind of my, and then I started a brokerage firm here in Chicago that was started in 2014. We are the largest boutique brokerage firm working with investors in the Chicago and market. And then I also do the Midwest real estate networking conference where the largest conference in the Midwest for real estate investors.   So everything, when I say I used to be a normal person with normal hobbies, that's what I mean. Like I used to be able to small talk and chit chat about sports or shopping. And now my whole life has become real estate, which is fantastic, but it's all I want to talk about. Cause it's all that meal. It's fun for me. So it was taken over my life in a very, very good way.   Jesse (6m 56s): Yeah. Well the, the energy didn't go out and I noticed when we were, we were at the conference and it's, that's great to hear it. When, when you made that transition, I'm always curious because it's not a dissimilar story where we have guests on that had a quote unquote, normal life or normal job, normal, whatever. And then they move into real estate investing. What, at what point in that kind of, you know, 20 11, 20 12 was the point where you said, okay, let's go in full time and, you know, get, you know, not, not continue to pursue the, the day job.   Brie (7m 26s): So it wasn't like a, it wasn't a pre-planned conscious decision. To be honest, the plan always was I was making great, you know, I had a great salary. I actually loved what I did. I had spent nine years building up my career. I did, it was not something that I wanted to walk away from. So the plan was never for me to leave my job and do real estate full time. Real estate was always going to be a hobby on the side. So it was when we were looking at doing our first set of properties in Milwaukee, that I started to realize like one day it was like, well, I always wanted to make sure that my real estate investing never got in the way of my day job.   And then one day woke up and realized that my day job was getting in the way of my real estate investing show. But I'll tell you this story. I used to travel a lot for work. And we were at the airport, it was a 6:00 AM flight to Atlanta. So it was like five 15 in the morning. I'm staying at the airport with my boss who just had a baby. She was like, I don't know, baby was like four months old. So we were flying down to Atlanta and then we had to get a car and rent a car to go to Columbus, Georgia, which was like a two hour drive for a two hour meeting.   And then drive back to Atlanta to take an airport plane ride home because she had to get home. She had a newborn and I remember sitting in the airport with her at like five 15 in the morning. It's like the butt crack of Dawn. And I get a travel alert on my phone. Like, so when it comes to travel, like Istanbul has been like my number one bucket list place. And there was a flight alert. It was like 400 bucks to go to Istanbul and I'm staring at us and I'm like, oh my God, I'm going to go to Istanbul. And she's like, what one? I'm like, I don't know, there's 400 bucks. Like I'm going to go whatever. And she started going through, like, this was April.   She starts going through my calendar while you can't go this month. Cause you've got this and then you've got this. And then like at the end, she's like by October, like, yeah, you can take a long weekend. And I was like, screw this. Like, this is not the life that I want. Like if I want to go to Istanbul, I want to go to Istanbul. So between it was around the same time that we were mid acquisition with our properties. Like I said, we were buying five properties. I remember calling my commercial lender and being like, Hey, if I quit my job, is that going to affect my ability to acquire more properties?   And as soon as you said, no, I was like, great. I'm giving my notice. And that was it. So it was like a two week, like, Hey, is this gonna, are we going to completely blow ourselves up by doing this? Or no? And the answer was no. So we just did it. I just did it.   Jesse (9m 51s): Yeah. I feel like the, there is this point where people, especially like yourself that have a job that has a good income. There's a beginning stage when you're investing where it is an asset. Obviously the W2 income, T4 in Canada, where, you know, lenders are looking at that. But you do get to a certain point where the assets are become more important than you as the individual. Did you experience?   Brie (10m 14s): Yeah, exactly. But if it wasn't, we were already past the point of doing residential loans. We were already well into like the commercial loan process and that was pretty much what we would be doing moving forward. So as if you don't know, as a us and Canada might be different, you know, those are two very different processes. So it was important for me to know that the commercial under that we were working with, I said, I've done, you know, 23 loans with him. You know, they, they were very strong as far as like backing me personally and financially, as long as he was okay with it, I was ready to go.   So I said like, this was probably mid April. I left my job at, and by the end of June, I was, I quit and done diminish doing real estate full-time ever since.   Jesse (10m 60s): Right on. So what take us up to 2021? What, what does the portfolio look like?   Brie (11m 5s): It's less so, yeah, I've actually sold, I didn't sell anything in 2020, but 20 18, 20 19. I sold some properties about half of my portfolio. So this is also a very interesting story. I was at a conference, very similar, like the bigger pockets conference we were at new Orleans. And I remember the first session, the first morning was an economist. I was actually in Philly with Dave Vanhorn's conference. So this economist is on stage. And he's saying a lot of big words. I don't know, you know, yield curves.   And I don't know, I'm writing things down. Like I should Google that later. So at the end of the conference, the, there was a charity event and the economist had had was the auction off three hours of his time. As for this charity fundraiser. I'm like, this is a perfect opportunity for me to learn, right. What he's talking about. Because while I understand like real estate economics, and while I understand the market economics that I'm in personally, I don't understand on a national or global level, right? How all these other things that are going on are going to affect my market.   That's why I wanted to learn. So I bought his time as part of the auction. And one of the things he did was he wanted to go through my entire portfolio with me five years back, right. Looking at my cashflow, my projections, something that I hadn't done. Like every year I would view my portfolio, right? Like we all do, but I never really like went back and looked at it from a high-level five-year perspective. And he put on all these different calculations and I don't even, I still don't even understand half of them that he did for me. But one of the things that we looked at is what was my three-year average cashflow and my five-year average cashflow, what would I get if I sold the property less than the fees and how does that, that profit relate to annual cashflow?   And I realized quite quickly there was some properties that like, there was just always something, right. There was always something going on with these properties. At the end of the day, if I sold the property, I will be getting like 15 years cashflow up front. I'm like, well, that makes stupid for me to keep these properties. So that has become for the last three years when I'm part of my process is every year I not only review my pre like in my, or what we did and what our numbers were this year.   I also look at my three-year, my five-year. And then since acquisition numbers and reevaluate my portfolio every year, I hire a local realtor in Milwaukee, even though I'm licensed there, I don't, I'm not super active there to do a CMA on my properties. And I rebalance things and I re reallocate things and see, Hey, is this the right? Is it keeping this property, the right thing to do? Or at what point does it make sense for me to sell? So that's, that was a learning experience I took from a med economist. Yeah.   Jesse (13m 54s): Yeah. And it's sometimes it's like, you get that second opinion or you just to get something that, not that you weren't accountable, but kind of high level taking a look at your portfolio. I found a very similar thing happened with me earlier in my career, where there was very similar to you just cap X that would happen. So, so technically your P and L looks good. It looks okay. But really at the end of the day, your cashflow statement is getting hit with these large expenses. And, you know, 1960 would have been a newer pro property. Like one of the first properties we bought was in the early 19 hundreds.   So, you know, stone foundation, knob and tube. And what I was finding was that there were particular properties that were just these cash, like just pits, because you'd just be dumping in. And, you know, even if you average out capital expenditures, if you pick properties that have, you know, a lot of maintenance, you really gotta be careful about how you're smoothing that out over the, the time that you hold. And, you know, sometimes there's an inflection point, whether that's five years in seven years in it's, like you said, it just makes so much more sense to sell it and redeploy somewhere else.   Brie (14m 56s): Absolutely. Yeah. It was a very interesting exercise for me because I always just looked at things. I said, like, I looked at things on an annual basis. I never went back and looked at things from the beginning or the last couple of years and was like, wow, you know, this property is not produce thing. Right. And since I bought it, the values have gone up, like I would make, I had one property. I was going to make like 33 years cashflow I'm like done sell it now. So it's become an interesting exercise.   Jesse (15m 27s): So I want to ask the, the question that so many investors are asking today is w we see it from sellers, but just in general, that number one, you know, where do you, if you do sell a property, where do you even deploy capital? Because the market is so competitive right now, I'm curious, was Chicago, Milwaukee, was this something where you did sell properties in Chicago and then Milwaukee kind of looked like a, a place where you deployed or were you guys doing it at the same time? How did that, how did those two locations come about?   Brie (15m 57s): Yeah. So everything in Chicago, we acquired from 2011 to 2013, and we have not sold any of those properties. Everything in Milwaukee was pretty much 2014 to 2016, and we've sold about half of those properties. And so like, our portfolio was about 31 properties before we started selling anything off. And our newest property was built in 1910. So when you talk about old, like that's just the market, you know, like these, these were older 1890s, 19 hundreds, 19 times are when the properties were generally built.   Jesse (16m 34s): So sorry, the, the property, like the, the move to actually continue investing. When you deploy that capital, wha what are their active investments that you wanted to put them in? Was it, was it the strategy to put it into the properties that you currently have? How did you deal with that once you had that windfall?   Brie (16m 51s): I'll let you know when I figure that out, it's been terrible.   Jesse (16m 56s): Well, we were just talking about this before the show. They're just talking about the inventory issue in all of north America.   Brie (17m 3s): Yeah. I think I'm like, I, this, you know, this may or may not be the right decision, but I really I've gotten this far in my investing career by trusting my gut and nothing. Nothing has been interesting to me since, you know, I've, I've looked at some like multi-family investments, but very few actually piqued my interest, mobile home as well. It's like, I'm dabbling into that stuff, but nothing that's been like, Hey, this, like the doors have opened, I see the light.   This is the path forward. So really put, put the cash in the market and let it sit until I decide what to do with it.   Jesse (17m 43s): Yeah. Fair enough. So, can we talk a little bit, like I said, at the outset, I think investors would get a lot from this, you know, two to five unit world that you live in, especially in these areas. Can you talk a little bit about why an investor would go into say a three, a triplex or a five unit as opposed to 25 30, even if they have the capital to do both   Brie (18m 4s): Same things like for us? Like, so when we, when we went into the Milwaukee market, we bought 18 properties in nine months, 67 units. It was, so we obviously had the capital to buy one big building if we wanted, but chose to do smaller buildings and said for a lot of different reasons, a, like we just talked about, you know, if some of the properties are underperforming, I could sell the ones that are underperforming and keep the ones that are performing without having to sell the entire property as a whole.   So that was part of the reason. And like I said, all of our properties are within like about a mile and a half radius. So it's not completely spread out. Like everything is within less than a 10 minute drive from each other. But one of the main reasons was the properties are like, obviously residential properties are valued differently right. Than commercial. So when I was looking at the, the cap rates and the returns that I could get, they were much higher on two to four unit properties. And they were on these multis. So again, the markets, Chicago and Milwaukee, you know, got the neighborhoods can be between 50 and 70% housing stock, at least two to four unit properties.   They're everywhere you drive down the street. Right? And like half the block is a small apartment buildings. So there's a lot of different options of different inventory. But the thing was when it comes to the small Maltese, at least in my markets, they learned pay is water. Everything else is separate to the tenants, right? So there's no common meters for anything. When you look at insurance, right? I'm getting homeowners insurance that, or my business, you're getting commercial policies. Your insurance rates are much higher than mine.   You generally pay corporate water. I pay residential water. You know, there's, there's like my taxes right. Are different than your taxes. So when I was looking at, you know, up to about, I would say about 20 units that evens out, because when you think about it, if you've got a 15 unit right next to my three unit, and at the same size, same condition, you know, two bedroom apartment, we're getting the same rent, right? Your 15 unit does not offer the amenities like the pool, the, you know, the doorman to increase runs, right? So we're getting the same sort of rent, but your expense ratios are much higher than mine.   So it came out, like I said, once you got to about 20 units, then your expenses ended up being closer to what my expenses were. And then the cap rates even doubt, but like anything on you, it's like Tanya properties. And we see this all the time in Chicago. Cause we get a lot of investors that come to us and say, Hey, you know, we want to get into like these, you know, small midsize. Multi-families like, great, I'll start running some numbers for you, but taking a consideration. I want to show you something else. And I'll show them side by side. Like here's, you know, here's 10 properties that, that are like between 10 and 30 units.   And here's, you know, 10 properties that are two to four unit properties. The cap rate is always higher. So the risk though, is that if the market, the real estate market changes, right, you're subject to comps, not at a Y in the residential world, but financing is also easier as well. We don't have, you know, you can get 30 year fixed on a two to four unit property. You're not getting a five or seven year arm.   Jesse (21m 14s): And in terms of the investors that you typically work with, or even yourself is for the most part, the strategy buy and hold with, with the size   Brie (21m 22s): Of units.   Jesse (21m 25s): And one of the things, you know, you'll hear people say, even at the 20 unit size, in terms of property management, you know, whether, you know, there, you have the economies of scale, how do you handle that?   Brie (21m 36s): It's a great question. So I think it depends on your market, right, Chicago, where at least where I work is more of an AB type market. So even, you know, even clients that I've had that live out of state, a lot of them can self-manage or we have a company here locally. I think they've expanded to, if you go to the markets now called nest egg. So it's not that I got rent, they do all the cart, property management. So like I've been using them since my maintenance, since I was pregnant with my first kid. But like, I don't use them for, I do my own run collection.   I do my own lease ups, but I have that option if I want to, but there's no monthly fee. So, you know, I just had an issue this morning, a tenant reported an issue, you know, it goes through their system, they diagnose it, they take pictures, whatever it is. And then they send me emails saying like, Hey, we think this is going to cost this amount of dollars and this many hours, who do you want to schedule the repair, the tenant, you know, then they call my tenant and they work it out. It's like, I have not been in my properties for repairs and years. And if no one makes a repair requests, I don't get charged anything.   There's no monthly fees. So that sort of product works really well in the Chicago market where, you know, it's not, it's not very high touch, right. Milwaukee on the other hand is more of a C class market is absolutely high-touch. You definitely need full-time property management services, but that's what it was. We grew so quickly said when we came to our, so by the, as after two years, we were at just under a hundred units, that's enough to be important to a property manager.   And in the beginning I had my own in-house team. I tried doing it myself. And it was terrible because you can't have one person. Right. It's what I learned. One of the learning lessons I had, you know, while the, the property manager that I chose was fantastic with my tenants. Right. He lived in the community, he actually owned some of the properties that I bought. My first properties were bought from him, you know, great relationship with the tenants, with service, with service workers, repairs, right. All that was handled, knew nothing about accounting, you know?   And like he would go to him and he'd go deposit like 10 grand in my bank account. And I'd be like, what's the spore? He's like, oh, you know, I've got the receipts in my pocket. I'm like, that's not. So I, like, I still had to do a large portion of the business. So one of the things, you know, property management is a terrible job. I would being a teacher or a property manager, like the two things I would never want to do in life.   But it takes to have a well-rounded property management team requires multiple skills, right. One person can not do it and do it well. So by outsourcing it, you're getting multiple people's positions and skillsets. So that was a life lesson that I learned. I thought I was smart by having my own in-house team. I could control things more. It was 20 times the work. It was terrible.   Jesse (24m 44s): Yeah. I find with property management, the, the companies that have been successful doing it, they, you really have to look at it as a full time full service business, and you need the personalities for that. And I think it was M zero Brian Berger, J Scott, we had on another bigger pockets contributors that I think w their, their point was 70, 75 unit pluses, where, you know, you can, you can afford to have your own super in the building. So like that, you know, even with the property management company, but also having that super in the building, you know, it is at that point where you can scale and you have a point of contact that's in addition to your property management company.   But I'm always curious, because I think, I think in the two to fives, it really is dependent on the market. Like when I got into real estate, I was in student residents. So a lot of them were like these boarding houses that had five tenants, or, you know, five students or eight students where those markets, yeah. You got some people shake the mouse a little, but you also have, what was nice is you actually have this little cottage industry of property management companies, at least back when I was in school that were local, that would manage, you know, houses.   And you had that ability to scale. And like you said, I think you've made a good point there, which I think oftentimes gets overlooked. It's that you're, you're still going to a property management company and still say, Hey, this is 80 units, or this is 40 units. It's just, they're spread out.   Brie (26m 11s): Yeah. It's one of the things I was at, like one of my biggest pieces of advice, when someone tells me, like, I want to invest in Milwaukee, Oregon, or cashflow market. Right. If your plan is to buy a small multi, and then like every year acquire another couple of units, you're going to sink, you know, it's, you're, you're not going to go well for you. So when I was buying our properties in Milwaukee, one of the things I did is after we sold the property, after we bought the property, I call the seller and ask them like, Hey, you know, deals done. Like what, any lessons you can teach me or things I can learn.   The best majority of them were like out of state investors who that was their problem. They only had one or two properties. I remember this one property we bought, we bought it December 1st. The guy told me, he's like, you know, the top unit has been vacant for like three months. We've dropped rent. Like I just can't do it anymore. I'm like, really? Because we bought it, we bought it on a Wednesday. And my property manager posted that night. We had like five showings this week on it. We got it rented out. It's like the property manager can make or break. Absolutely you return. And if you're only, if you've got like three properties or, you know, 10 units with one property manager, you aren't a priority.   The end of the day, I have a hundred units and you have ton. And we both have a vacancy. Gus, who's the priority. It's me. You know, and I don't do it very often, but whenever I have to, if I call my property manager and say, Hey, I need you to stop what you're doing right now and handle this. You better believe they're going to do it. Right. So that's where scale becomes incredibly important.   Jesse (27m 42s): Yeah. And it's nice that there are kind of companies like you mentioned, or even, even locally here where the technology is getting better, where you can actually have, you know, one off properties here and there. I know, not true for Chicago. I know Toronto, we have a huge condo market. Like it basically is our purpose built market. Rental markets are extended, but you know, it's challenging when you only have a few one-offs. Where are you? What do you, what did you think, would you say is the biggest difference between the Chicago and Milwaukee market   Brie (28m 14s): Price point? Number one, you know, Chicago is much more expensive, but again, like each market, whether it be Chicago, Milwaukee, Indianapolis, Kansas city, they all have different, you know, ABC markets. So it just so happens that I got my start in investing in Chicago, which was more of a lead type market. I, my cashflow play is Milwaukee, which is the, I invest in a C class area. You know, I've looked at investing in a, Milwaukee's a B class areas.   And they're very similar returns where I get in Chicago for my air AB class areas here. So it just depends on what your strategy is, you know, at the end of the day. So part of that economist evaluation was also taking into effect or taking into account what my property values were. Right. And what if I were to sell everything, what I would would be at again, like my, my cashflow in Milwaukee per dollar spent is like almost triple what it is in Chicago.   So the end of the day, like, I always assumed like my, my money came from Milwaukee, right? Like it pays my bills at the end of the day. It did it. When you, when you throw in the appreciation I got from Chicago, like that's where I made my money. So I was looking at it again. There's two different strategies. At least I have two different strategies. Chicago is my wealth building. Right. My, my tenants call me once a year. You know, like they're generally very easy. They stay for a few years. It's not a high touch market.   You know, my property is just, I sit and maintain. Right. And then I'll get my money when I sell Milwaukee. On the other hand is the cashflow based market. That's where I bring in my, my monthly paycheck. We'll call it, you know, two totally different strategies. I like having the balance personally, but there's no right or wrong answer. There's no, you know, this is the best option I like having both.   Jesse (30m 12s): Yeah. Yeah. It makes sense. I'm curious. The something that is unavailable to us connects is the 10 31 exchange in the states, the differing of taxes into a likened kind asset for, for any of the listeners that haven't heard us banter about it before, is it, is it applicable to investment properties that are purely residential? Can you use it for you can use it for both. Okay.   Brie (30m 37s): We do again, we do, we do a few times a year, 10 31 exchanges within our brokerage side of the business, but it sucks. I just had one, the, oh, this is terrible situation, terrible. Like, whoa. It was me. The guy sold the million dollar properties, but he was selling, he was selling a property in California, wanted to parlay that funds into Chicago. This was just in like October where our market started to get really slow. Inventory was terrible. He was from the time he was selling, he was then, you know, you've got 45 days and two weeks he was leaving for Germany for a month.   So he's like, listen, you know, we gotta find this property in two weeks. And then we're in Germany. You know, we've got things to do. And it just so happened. Like the day after closing, he called me, like, we actually need to leave for Germany tomorrow. So they were in Germany the whole time. And I was trying to find them a property. But like when we were looking, you know, between like one and 1.5 million, which for a two to four unit property is completely adequate budget for Chicago. We couldn't find anything for him. And he ended up taking the cap, gain tech, but at the end of the day, that's better than buying a bad investment.   Right. So, but it was a, it was a very stressful experience because I'd never met him in person. He was never going to be able to fly to Chicago and see the property. And I had 45 days to put something on a contract for him and try to guess what he wanted and what he would like, you know, like, so it was all like videos and it was just, it's just, it is what it is, but   Jesse (32m 10s): You know, it's our world,   Brie (32m 12s): But is her world   Jesse (32m 14s): Sabrina. I want to talk, but just one more thing before we get to some of the questions we ask every guest, I am just mindful of the time here. We could probably do a, another 45 minutes on just the second half of this story. But before we get there, I'm curious to know the regulatory environment from the landlord tenant board perspective. I have a, you know, we talked a little bit about this before. I have a suspicion that it's very similar to our market, very tenant friendly. How does that compare to Milwaukee?   You know, what's your experience been?   Brie (32m 48s): You could, I don't think you can find two different while California. You can't really find two different markets. And again, they're only an hour and a half drive from each other. So both offers similar returns. I would say, as far as the investment market, but yeah, Chicago has one of the strictest landlord-tenant ordinances in the country. I still invest here. You know, we've got plenty of clients that still invest here. It's really, to me, the landlord tenant ordinance is not, it's not super strict, but you have to know the rules, right. And that's where people get in trouble.   If they don't know the rules, everything is quite reasonable. Right. If you, you know, a general repair, you have 14 days to correct it. That's not an unreasonable request when it comes to like heat, hot water, electricity, like, you know, those sorts of things, you have 48 hours to correct. You know, got not in a reasonable request. It, but our eviction process is beyond terrible. I just had to summer my first eviction ever in Chicago, where, you know, I gave a ton of in 50 days and always I was not renewing his lease.   He started, he understood it. I rented out his unit. Like he let me do showings. And then like the week before it was like, I've got nowhere to go. I'm not leaving. Like, well, that's not really an option. Like I have someone moving in in like five days. So it was what we would consider a hold over tonight, which is still allowed to evict, even though we had the memorandum here, but it took, you know, two months before we even got him served through our court process. Milwaukee on the other hand is very landlord friendly.   I can get, let's see, when I give someone a five day notice the next day I can go and file in court. Typically I get a court date within seven to 10 days. And you go, when you show up to court, they pretty much ask you one question, which is, can you prove the rent you owe to this landlord is not what they say. And they'll start, you know, well, they were a shit landlord and all that. I don't care. She says, you owe this, do you have proof otherwise? And they're like, no, and they'll start ranting. And they're like, okay.   So what do you want to do? They'll go to me like that is, that is the only piece of information that they want to know. Right? They don't, they don't care about the other things. One of the other great things about Milwaukee's market as far as evictions is which we use. It's a tool we use quite often is they have a payment plan process within the court system. So again, a lot of times, you know, they fall behind, right? And they're, they're communicating. It's not like we want to evict them so we can work out a payment plan.   It's a court ordered payment plan. And as soon as they miss one payment, I just go straight to the court, show them document, signed an affidavit, boom. Sheriff comes. So it just there's no, I don't have to go back to court and we don't have to go back to, you know, like starting all of the process over again. It just picks up where we left off. If I were to do a normal eviction. So also a really win-win situation. Right? If they say that they can make these payments and they can get caught up, right. And they do that, then they don't get evicted. But if they fall behind, we have the option of just picking things up and not starting over again.   Milwaukee also has some really great rental assistance programs for tenants that do fall behind as well versus like Chicago. We, you know, we had a ton of apply for rental assistance back in June. I just got it now in December, you know? And luckily if I wasn't so accommodating, right. You know, it was five months of background. Like that's a lot of rent to, to go back, but Milwaukee just moves faster and they are a lot more, there's a lot more options within that market.   Port options or rental assistance options.   Jesse (36m 36s): Does Chicago have rent control?   Brie (36m 38s): No. Okay. Hey.   Jesse (36m 41s): Yeah. The gas. Yeah. W I would have been 50 50 on that. I know it's tenant friendly, but I don't, I didn't know if they went that far.   Brie (36m 52s): So luckily for us, it is part of our state constitution. And once you get out of the state or city of Chicago, it is a very, very red state. So to, to have rent control in Chicago, you have to have this state constitution amended and there's way too many conservatives to allow that to happen. So every year it happened, like every year someone brings it up, right. And every year it goes to the process and every year everyone freaks out about it. And every year it gets stopped quite quickly.   But if it wasn't, if it was up to the actual like cities or counties, we would absolutely have rent control here. But luckily it's on a state level.   Jesse (37m 35s): Yeah. I think if I think Jersey, what is a Jersey, California, New York Mahershala, Washington. I think, I think we're the opposite. If you can find a, like a pretty sure across country, we have some form of rent stabilization. But the big thing for us is that is when we have new tenants, we mark the mark to market the rents. So you kind of reset at market levels, but it's a bit of a different animal. That's great. I, I want to talk or let listeners know where they can go and kind of reach out to you. But before we get there, we've got four questions.   We ask every guest. So if you're ready, I'll, I'll send them over to ya. I agree with something, at least one thing that you know, now in your career, you wish you knew when you first started out,   Brie (38m 17s): Oh gosh, just one thing I can do a whole podcast and all the things, You know, again, I, I'm a big believer in trusting your intuition, right. And figuring out what works for you, what works for me doesn't necessarily work for you. So that takes time. That takes your own learning lessons. But as long as, like you said, I've made obvious mistakes. As long as I was confident in my decision, right. I have no one to blame, but myself and that makes me sleep at night, knowing that like, Hey, this is, this is just a bump in the path and it's going to be a learning lesson down the road.   So my advice would be, you know, really focusing on what you're doing, what your goals are, what your needs are, right. Where, where you can grow personally and then create your own path.   Jesse (39m 10s): Gotcha. Okay. In terms of, if one thing or a few things you could say to new investors, people getting into our industry regarding mentorship, what would that be?   Brie (39m 24s): I'm not a fan of a mentorship thing. You know, I don't think it's a gun. Your mentorship to me is you're, you're learning from someone, but you're trying to replicate what they're doing. Right. And that's not always, right. So I'd like, I get all the time, like, Hey, what, what neighborhoods do you buy in? Cause I want to buy there. I'm like, well, I have haven't I have a Nissan Pathfinder. Do you want to buy my car? Because I have that car. Like, you know, that doesn't mean like what I have my needs and goals are. So it was back to the first thing of, you know, mentorship, you know, isn't, shouldn't be a immediate goal for someone, I think, you know, utilizing sites like bigger pockets, bigger pockets, right?   Learning about your market, listening to podcasts, right? Take a little bit of information from everything that you're hearing and learning and figuring out what works best for you. That's what you need. And then once you're ready, right. Finding a good team, a good agent, right. A good brokerage, good, you know, lenders, lawyers, whatever that will help support you and what your goals are. But you should be the one dictating what your path is. Not someone else telling you what to do.   Jesse (40m 32s): Fair enough. What's a resource or book that you find yourself constantly recommending.   Brie (40m 37s): Oh, getting things done. I love that book. It has completely changed. Like you guys, like not only do I not want a landlord, but I own a brokerage firm. I also plan an event for real estate investors. I'm nine months pregnant and I've got a two year old right there. You know, there's, there's a lot of different things that come at me at different times through the day with so many different moving parts. Right. So having like an organizational prioritizing to do list right.   To, to be effective has really important. So I read the book, maybe I was actually too busy to read the book. So I bought the cliff notes to be perfectly honest, about five years ago. And I went from working, you know, 60 hours a week in my business to probably working 30. I, you know, cut out all the nonsense and really transformed my work-life balance because of that book. Yeah.   Jesse (41m 36s): And I think they've updated. We've had a guest before recommend this and I think they've updated some of the, the concepts. Cause I, I it's, it's like the book for, for like task management and organization. So I think it w I can't remember what the release date, but a lot has changed technologically, but I still love the, how they systematize everything in that book.   Brie (41m 57s): I am so full though. I have to write everything down. Like   Jesse (42m 1s): I remember like the bin you'd have to move things from the bin. Yeah.   Brie (42m 5s): I have to like physically write things down and like physically cross things off of my paper. I can't do like a word, you know, or technology just doesn't work for me. I'm too old.   Jesse (42m 14s): So speaking of Pathfinders, our last question, first car making.   Brie (42m 19s): Oh, Ford Thunderbird. Terrible bomb. Yeah. I was at, it was my dad's car that I bought off him. Right. I'm a terrible driver. Do you understand this? No, I think it was a V6 or a V8, whatever. I crashed it so many times. I'm just a terrible driver. I still am a terrible driver. My husband drives pretty much. He will not, my husband will not let me drive a car if he's in it.   Jesse (42m 48s): I will say this though. It is, it was an upgrade back then from the four tourists, which, which I spent my childhood,   Brie (42m 55s): It was a beast of a car though. You know, I said, I ran over curbs and ran into walls with that card and like never scrape on me, you know, but yeah. Thank you so much for having me on the show.   Jesse (43m 9s): I really appreciate it. If anybody's, you know, in your local area or would like to just reach out to you where, where would be the best place to, to go   Brie (43m 17s): I'm on BiggerPockets almost every single day. Some messaging me on bigger pockets, Brie Schmidt, or you can check out my website. It's a second city spelled out dash R e.com.   Jesse (43m 30s): Okay. We'll send them there.

On this week's episode of True Crime New England, Katie and Liz talk about the fateful evening of August 30th, 1990, where a road rage incident in Rhode Island left a young man dead, for no reason. 27-year-old Adam Emery was with his wife and another couple in his 1985 Ford Thunderbird when it was sideswiped. In a fit of hot rage, Emery chased the car he believed to have hit him, which was being driven by Jason Bass. After an intense altercation, Jason ends up dead with a stab wound, only for it to be discovered that he was not the person to hit Emery's car. Two year later Emery is sentenced for Jason's death, and that same night he goes missing, supposedly committing suicide with his wife. To this day, Adam Emery has never been seen again.

Juan Leon Laureles was only 30 years old when he was shot execution style on the side of a small gravel road just east of Brownwood, Texas in May of 1996 – his 1988 Ford Thunderbird ablaze. Few theories have been floating around since that terrible, tragic day. The Brown County Sheriff's department has theirs but won't acknowledge that there might be a better one: a theory that actual makes sense and seems to better fit the known facts – that the slaying was an act of hate. But, of course, there are other plausible theories and some recent information that allows for even more speculation. Still though, with the climate of hate towards the gay and lesbian community, among other groups, in Brown County and the city of Brownwood, the possibility that Leon's murder was a hate crime is extremely possible and plausible. Did the Sheriff's Department investigation lag because Leon Laureles was gay? It certainly seems that way. Part 2 of 2. If you have any information on the 1996 murder of Juan Leon Laureles, please contact the Brown County Sheriff's Office at 325-646-5510.Submit your DNA data from a consumer testing company to Othram's database, dnasolves.com.

Like many others around the world, Jose Villarruel has been struggling financially due to the coronavirus pandemic. The 77-year-old from California has been living out of his 1990s-era Ford Thunderbird for almost a year now. He decided to reign from his position as a substitute teacher after the pandemic forced his hours to be cut. Villarruel a.k.a “Mr. V” told Fox 11 Los Angeles, “I decided the school situation has changed completely and I believed that a job of a substitute was over. I managed to do all of the paperwork, all of the arrangements to get my pension. I got my check, but that check didn’t last long because I had debts already.” Steven Nava, a former student ran into Mr. V and knew he had to help. “Every day I’d go out to work around 5 a.m. and see him going through his trunk,” Nava told KCBS. “I just felt the need to do something about it.” Nava took to Twitter to bring awareness to his former teacher’s situation and to ask for help in raising money. He ended up starting a GoFundMe to help Mr. V and raised more than $27,000 in six days. Nava gifted the $27,000 check on Thursday, which just so happened to be Mr. V’s 77th birthday. “I’m still trying to digest the entire experience,” Villarruel told KCBS. “It’s extraordinary, totally unexpected.”   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Studebaker Avanti In this episode, I cover the Studebaker Avanti, and non-Studebaker Avanti's as the car outlasted its parent company. Originally designed to save Studebaker in the 1960s, the Avanti would compete with the Ford Thunderbird and the Chevy Corvette. Powered by a Studebaker made V8, this car was not only powerful but lightweight and looked amazing with a unique design that wasn't American, it looked like nothing else on the road. while the car did not manage to save Studebaker, other companies would be created to continue production of the Avanti. Several of these companies would go bankrupt themselves, but the torch would be passed on and the official end of Avanti production happened in 2006, 40 years after Studebaker closed.

Having just come off a smashing success at Mecum Auctions' 2020 Kissimmee Summer Special, hosts Matt Avery and John Kraman have a lot to touch on in this episode of On The Move. But, before they do, John gives a rundown of the rest of the Mecum events slated for 2020, including both the newly added Kansas City auction taking place November 19-21 and the Old Standard Auto Parts On Time auction slated for September 16-19. Next, the guys jump into one of the most surprising sales at the Summer Special: a 1989 Jeep Wagoneer "Hellwagon." The SUV appeared mild mannered, but under the hood it had a transplanted supercharged Hellcat 6.2L/707 HP V-8. Speaking of wild rides, Matt shares how Texas tuner Hennessey is offering the MAMMOTH 6x6. The monster truck is a modified 2021 Ram TRX that features a specially tuned 7.0L Hellephant engine delivering more than 1,200 HP. Just three are being built with a price tag of $500,000 each. John then turns to news that Toyota and Subaru will be building off their 86 and BRZ models, releasing a new car for 2021. Rumors are it’ll have a bump in horsepower (from 205 to 260) and now feature a 6-speed manual transmission as standard equipment. Matt keeps the sports car theme going, detailing how Nissan is unveiling its Z Proto on September 15. The guys banter over whether the model will keep to its retro roots or have a modern motif. Wrapping up Segment 1, John congratulates Matt on his recent accolade, being recognized as a rising star by SEMA and the organization’s 35 Under 35 award. Next in the studio is Mecum Auctions Consignment Director Frank Mecum, who shares his insights and observations into not only the recent success of the Summer Special, but also the intensive planning that has gone into the rest of the auction house’s fall schedule. Rounding out the show, Matt and John share some of their own recent fun car shopping. Matt goes into how he’s on the hunt for a sporty two-seater, eyeing candidates like the Mercedes-Benz SLK roadster, the retro-cool Ford Thunderbird and the iconic Porsche 911. And at long last, John drops a bombshell, announcing he has a 2020 Corvette C8 on order that he can’t wait to take delivery of later this fall.

Stinking Pause – the movie review podcast with Scott who this week is joined by Paul for a trip back to America in 1962 with hamburgers and milkshakes, drive-ins, fast cars and some of the best rock and roll music ever created. This episode we are joining Ron Howard and Richard Dreyfus with Wolfman Jack playing the tunes as we rock around the clock with American Graffiti (1973) – directed by George Lucas “You're the most beautiful, exciting thing I've ever seen in my life and I don't know anything about you” In the twilight of innocence, and against the backdrop of early-1960s Modesto, California, four school friends--Curt, Steve, John, and Terry--bid farewell to their carefree lives as teenagers, on the last evening of summer break. Over the course of one long and hot September night, the long-time companions on the brink of adulthood will take their first steps into the real life; experience the powerful feelings of desire, disappointment, and love--and, ultimately--see the world in a different light. Pivoting around Mel's bright Drive-In, and Wolfman Jack's non-stop Rock 'n' Roll disc-jockey show, the boys cruise the town's colourful streets in their beautiful cars, as an elusive blonde vision in a white 1956 Ford Thunderbird contributes to the excitement of this very special night. However, when morning comes, nothing will ever be the same again.

Author Michael Hurd joins the Texas Sports Hall of Fame Podcast to discuss his book Thursday Night Lights: The Story of Black High School in Texas, a book that celebrates the rich history of Prairie View Interscholastic League (PVIL) football -- a league that produced many pro and college football stars including Dick "Night Train" Lane, Bubba Smith, and Ken Houston. The PVIL stood as the governing body for black schools in Texas throughout the decades of segregation. The league provided a home for the biggest high school event in America in its heyday, the annual Turkey Day Classic between Houston Yates and Houston Wheatley.     Hurd shares with us the exciting history of PVIL football programs from the hardscrabble days of the 1940s when Joe Washington started his high school’s program while still a high school student in Rosenberg, Texas, and through the glory years in the 1960s when Charlton Pollard coach Willie Ray Smith, Sr. and Hebert coach Clifford Ozen seemed to produce football star after football star through their rivalry in Beaumont, Texas. Joe Washington’s son -- Joe Washington Jr. – wound up being the fourth-overall pick in the 1976 NFL draft. Three sons of Willie Ray Smith, Sr. were all major recruits coming out of high school, most notably future NFL legend Bubba Smith.  Hurd also conveys the excitement of Kansas City Chiefs star Otis Taylor showing off his new Ford Thunderbird to Hurd and his schoolmates as well as the tremendous athletic ability and ultimately tragic story of Eldridge Dickey, a man who earned the nickname, “The Lord’s Prayer” for his prayers before games and his accomplishments at quarterback. This episode Texas Sports Hall of Fame Podcast is presented by the Hampton Inn Waco. The show is written and produced by host Jackson Michael, author of The Game Before the Money: Voices of the Men Who Built the NFL.

The 1987 Daytona 500, the 29th running of the event, was held February 15 at Daytona International Speedway, in Daytona Beach, Florida. Driving his Coors/Melling #9 Ford Thunderbird, Bill Elliott had a dominant week, winning the pole with a record speed of 210.364 mph, winning the Busch Clash, and finishing second in a photo finish to Ken Schrader in his Twin 125 qualifier before winning his second Daytona 500. After numerous crashes in other races that week, the 1987 Daytona 500 was relatively incident free, with only 4 cautions for 15 laps, and no serious wrecks. For the final fifty laps of the race, Elliott, Earnhardt, Parsons, Baker, Bodine, Petty and Schrader put on a back and forth duel for the win, resulting in a near record average speed of 176.263 mph for race winner Elliott.

Tony Barthel and Jim Cherry discuss the beautiful 1964-66 Ford Thunderbird and its value as a collector car. Plus we also point the headlight at an incredible tribute El Camino crafted by Robert Luczun.

In 1991, Ridley Scott took a break from directing stuff like Alien and Blade Runner and allowed himself to be convinced to helm Thelma and Louise - and that was history. Joining Sid and James is a great friend and hilarious comedian, Holly Owens.  Thelma and Louise is an iconic feminist road movie. It's a slice of life on film that is beautifully shot, painfully realistic, and packed with great characters - even the car. The 1966 Ford Thunderbird driven by our protagonist gets refreshingly characterized, accompanying Thelma and Louise throughout their struggles.  Follow @ReelsandWheels on social media - subscribe on iTunes or Stitcher and leave feedback! Find Holly online (@HollyPoops) and catch her show, The Sunday Funnies, every Sunday at 8pm at Cozzy's Comedy Club. Don't forget to follow Sid (@SidBridgeComedy) and James (@S2KJames), too!

I veckans Stil Special ska vi göra några nedslag i vårt stora reportagearkiv och återigen få möta några av de personer som vi har träffat i våra program. Ämnena har, som alltid, skiftat mellan samtida och historiska personer, aktuella företeelser och fascinerande fenomen i tiden som har med stil att göra, på det ena eller andra viset. Och i reportagen har vi mött en stor samling människor som alla har något om just stil att berätta om, på olika vis.I programmet möter vi Kitty Karlsson, som kör en likadan bil som huvudpersonerna i filmen Thelma och Louise  en Ford Thunderbird. Vi pratar också med makeupartisten Birgitte Reiss-Andersen och AD:n Kurt Lundqvist, som båda har arbetat tillsammans med modefotografen Guy Bourdin en man som var känd för sin exentriska personlighet. Vi tar även en titt på historien om filmstjärnan James Deans mytomspunna Porsche den han kraschade och omkom i 1955. Många menar att det vilar en förbannelse över bilen. Och så möter vi två personer som var och en på sitt sitt representerar de två olika stilidealen maximalism och minimalism.Veckans programledare är Erik Sjölin.

Radarparet Thelma och Louise dök upp på vita duken för exakt tjugofem år sedan våren 1991 i en film som skrällde till ordentligt och gav upphov till en oändlig mängd diskussioner. Var Thelma & Louise en våldsam manshatarfilm? Var det en nyskapande feministfilm? Var det en komedi? Var det en tragedi? Var det en film som lurade unga kvinnor till att ta till vapen? Eller var det början på en ny tid för en annan sorts kvinnoroller på film? Klart stod i alla fall att det var en succé. Filmen drog inte bara en oväntat stor publik, och höstade in bra kritik. Den kammade även året därpå hem sex Oscarsnomineringar.  Båda huvudrollsinnehavarna Geena Davis och Susan Sarandon blev nominerade som bästa kvinnliga skådespelare och Ridley Scott som bäste regissör. Men Oscars-statyetten gick till bästa originalmanus. Callie Khouri heter manusförfattaren. Hon jobbade i början av 90-talet som producent av musikvideor till rockartister, men hon var less på att se lättklädda kvinnor åma och kråma sig framför kameran som en sorts levande accessoarer till manliga artister. På sin fritid började hon skriva på ett manus för att lätta på trycket. Hon började spinna på en historia om vänskapen mellan den unga, naiva och slarviga hemmafrun Thelma (spelad av Geena Davis) och den äldre, tillknäppta och luttrade servitrisen Louise (spelad av Susan Sarandon). Båda instängda i en småstad och tillsammans med män som inte gjorde dem särskild glada. För att pigga upp sig bestämmer de sig för att resa iväg med Louises bil för att tillbringa helgen i en lånad stuga. Dit kommer de emellertid aldrig... I veckans program berättar vi mer om Thelma & Louise, dess inflytande och tidsandan som rådde då filmen kom. Vi tittar också närmare på en av filmens manliga stjärnor: Brad Pitt. Vi undersöker också hur vägen och bilen har symboliserat frihet och rörlighet på film och i litteratur. Genom åren har det producerats många berättelser som skildrar människor i rörelse på vägarna. Men ganska få av dessa har varit kvinnor. Och så träffar vi Kitty Karlsson, som kör en likadan bil som Thelma och Louise  en Ford Thunderbird. Veckans gäst är Maaret Koskinen, professor i film vid Stockholms universitet.

Edición número 78 de La Gran Evasión, 29/3/2016. Nos subimos al coche de Nicolas Winding Refn en esta ocasión, nuestro conductor es el Driver, el chico que trabaja de mecánico y de especialista en escenas de conducción por el día y por las noches es el conductor, el que te saca del sitio que hayas robado, el profesional que elude a la policía, el mejor conductor para los bajos fondos...una película estrenada en el 2011 por este danés loco que ya es una obra de culto, una historia negra, de estética y de una brutalidad apabullante... Drive no es sólo la sangrienta venganza de un conductor sin nombre, es algo más, es un conflicto interior, es la imposibilidad de escapar del pasado, es la negra estrella que se cierne sobre un grupo de vidas solitarias, es una historia de robos y sus consecuencias, es el retrato clásico de unos perdedores, pero sobre todo es una historia de amor, es una vida que se escapa en un parpadeo, pues la vida es movimiento, cambio, agitación, ya sabemos que solo los afortunados olvidan...contada con estética y pausa, con amor por el cine y riesgo por fusionar nuevas formas de conmover, pues al final es eso, si una peli te conmueve, te deja dando vueltas a la historia, si tienes ganas de volverla a ver, es que es cine, con letras mayúsculas y para mi Drive lo es. Impecable elenco de actores, un frío y oscuro Ryan Gosling, la inocente y dulce Carey Mulligan, el asesino amable y cansado que hace Albert Brooks, el perdedor por excelencia que borda Bryan Cranston, en fin, Christina Hendricks, la voluptuosa pelirroja... Destacar la gran banda sonora, un trabajo exquisito de Cliff Martínez, recuperando temas ochenteros y creando el ambiente, la música es más que un acompañamiento, forma parte de la historia y de los protagonistas... Una atmósfera impecable, tempo pausado, un montaje lleno de elipsis, dejando que el espectador entre en la historia y la complete, una obra brutal y violenta, tan sublime y delicada a la vez, que la mezcla de dolor y belleza se vuelve arte, se vuelve cine. Escapamos esta noche acurrucados en el asiento trasero de un Ford Thunderbird trucado, mientras el Driver nos saca de la torre de Radiopolis que acabamos de desvalijar.....a la dirección José MIguél Moreno, contertulios Raúl Gallego, Gervi Navío y atrapado en el ascensor, con el rostro ensangrentado por Melville, Scorsese, Leone, Huston...con la cabeza despachurrada y pisoteada de David Lynch en un rincón..... nuestro crítico César Bardés.

Fall of 1993. I was beginning my second year at my third university, living at home, working for minimum wage at a used CD shop, driving my beat-to-hell 1984 black Ford Thunderbird. No girlfriend, my buddy Adam’s old driver’s license so I had a fake ID and I was living the high life. This is … Continue reading "#0103 – Run ’93"
