Whether you are an active or passive investor, we'll teach you how to scale your real estate investing business into something big.   Sam Wilson (00:00:36) - Todd Watkins is the c a multi-family real estate operator with 4,000 plus units. He's got over 30 years of experience in real estate from private law practice to Fannie Mae to currently being an operator. Todd, welcome to the show.   Todd Watkins (00:00:50) - Thank you.   Sam Wilson (00:00:52) - Absolutely Todd, the pleasure is mine. There are three questions I ask every guest who comes in the show in 90 seconds or less. Can you tell me where did you start? Where are you now and how did you get there?   Todd Watkins (00:01:03) - So, okay, it's interesting and where did I start? There are a couple answers to that, but I think the one I'd like to say is I, my earliest memory is, um, being told that for the summer of seventh grade I was going to go paint apartment units because my father owns 10 small apartment complexes in Philadelphia. And uh, that's, if he would tell you if he were god rest facility, he not around. But he would tell you that that is how he paid for me to go to college. Cuz he had worked for the public, Philadelphia public school system for, you know, decades. And it, you know, having a kid who he put into private school, it didn't, it didn't pay. So he went out and bought, um, apartment buildings. And so that's how I got my start in the apartment business. Um, what, how's, how I got my start? How'd I get to where I am? Was that the second part? Yeah.   Sam Wilson (00:01:48) - Where, where'd you start? Where are you now?   Todd Watkins (00:01:51) - Yeah, so now I am the Chief Operating Officer and a partner at Real Field Realty Partners. We have about, as you said, about just over 4,000 units. We're in nine markets from, uh, greater dc um, a couple of markets in Virginia, north and South Carolina. And then we flip over to the bigger markets in Texas, sorry, Houston. Um, we're in San Antonio, Austin, um, and Dallas. Mm-hmm. . And so, um, you know, we, we, I got there, you know, as when you, when you said a 30 years experience, all I could think of was, man, I'm old. Um,  and I got there, uh, the, the long way, um, I got there by virtue of being a private lawyer. Um, I got there by, um, half by being in, uh, a department that worked with, um, real estate, uh, developers, et cetera, but primarily did a lot of work with Fannie Mae.   Todd Watkins (00:02:42) - Um, and I was living in Los Angeles and, uh, you know, I'm from Philadelphia. Kids need their grandparents. All of a sudden I found myself back on the East coast with working for Fannie Mae. Um, and I had, I was up late doing a deal. Um, this is actually, I was still in private practice, but I was up late doing a deal with a guy from Goldman Sachs and he, you know, asked me a couple of questions. He went off, I asked me to add some numbers together. I did it, kicked back to him, uh, a couple days later, had to do the engagement letter for his firm. Found out that he was going to personally make more than my entire firm was, and I realized I was in the wrong part of the value chain  at that point. Uh, started off working my way over to the business side at Fannie Mae and then, uh, with a partner had left about, you know, 18 years ago. Um, and started a couple of things bef you know, we had a, uh, a real estate consulting practice before we finally joined up with somebody else and created rail field.   Sam Wilson (00:03:36) - Wow, that's really, really cool. I mean, there's so many, I wish this podcast were longer because I'm sure just the things that you, your kind of insider's knowledge, and I know things have probably changed since you've been there. Uh, but your insider's knowledge of how Fannie Mae works, how to get loans done, just kind of all of that Sure. Component is, has got to be some somewhat of an advantage, hopefully, uh, for you in what you guys are doing today. Having had that experience from the private law side, from being inside of Fannie Mae now to an operator with over 4,000 units, uh, under, under your ownership, like what, what are things, where are things going? What are some challenges you guys are are looking at right now? I mean, it's, there's trouble in the water. Yeah, I think, but you tell   Todd Watkins (00:04:24) - Me. Sure, sure. I mean, I think there are a lot of challenges, um, qual uh, I guess, uh, there're on, on the one hand, finding people, you know, the, I think the pandemic and times we've come out of the pandemic have made a lot of people change their ideas of what, how they want to spend their lives and what they wanna do and how hard they wanna work. And hasn't, um, unfortunately changed my investor's views of how much they want make and how much they want those people to work. And so, um, there, there has been, uh, a real tough time in getting quality staff. I mean, just, just bluntly putting, um, the turnover has been much greater. The numbers of people who are good are asking for a lot more, but they're also willing to leave much faster. So there was a time when we, it was sort of easier to have a, a team that you felt you could count on and, and they would be there for you at least for a little while.   Todd Watkins (00:05:18) - And now, you know, we fight for people every single day. Um, you know, the, the, the amount of time that people are spending in their units, what they're looking for in units has changed. So the, the product type and how quickly we have to keep things going, um, to, to make sure that people want to be there. But I guess maybe the greatest thing, and I'm, I see, you know, I know it's only 15 in podcast, but I'd say, um, to, to my mind, I think there's some measure of the philosophy has gotta change in that, or is changing and it needs to be changed. And that we used to sort of think of it as a, something of a commodity product, right? It's a, it's a box where people put their stuff. And now I think because it's a box where people put their stuff, you have to have so much more. And that's one of the things that real field is that we, we try and build communities. And so we're trying to create not just a place where someone can dump this stuff, because let's face it, as soon as I build, you know, the next, next door is gonna be something shinier and brighter and newer. So I've gotta create an atmosphere where people want to live, not just where, you know, the the cost of them moving is gonna be higher than staying at my place.   Sam Wilson (00:06:17) - Yeah, those are, those are all very, very, I think, um, interesting challenges that we're facing right now, especially on the staffing side of things. Are you, are you finding that across the board it's a staffing challenge? Are there certain entry level, mid-level executive level differences in   Todd Watkins (00:06:38) - ?   Sam Wilson (00:06:39) - No. Retentions.   Todd Watkins (00:06:40) - It's across the, it's, it's across the board. I mean, you know, it's, it's easy to say, it's hard to keep maintenance people. That's, you know, they're the, the, uh, piece that, that little bit of gold that everyone is searching for, you know, great maintenance people are just, you know, so few and far between. And when you, you get 'em, all you wanna do is make sure that, you know, their phone only takes your calls and doesn't take them from anybody else. Um, but you see it as sort of every level. And, you know, I think that, um, there has been a traditional path. This kind of goes to what I was saying before about the, the, the philosophy. But there's been a traditional path based on, also on a leasing side, where you go from, you know, you start up as a, an associate, you move up to be a leaser, you know, you have to be an assistant manager, you have to be a manager, um, and then a regional and potentially beyond.   Todd Watkins (00:07:27) - And I think that some of these, some of these properties and some of the numbers are getting to be so big that, you know, that path requires more than just having sat in the previous seat for, you know, at this point it could be six months. You know, that with the turnover so quickly. So there is, I think, um, there are, there are changes and differences and some of the expectations that people have that they're just gonna go to the next level doesn't necessarily meet our needs. When you actually get to the next level, it would've, they would've benefited by being in that previous seat a little bit longer in, in particular. But, um, but you know, between that technology, um, and, and the demand of tenants, um, or residents, uh, it's there at every level. There's a, there's a change and, um, it's, it's hard to hold on to people.   Sam Wilson (00:08:11) - Yeah, absolutely. Any tips or tricks, things that you guys are doing currently, uh, to kind of mitigate that problem?   Todd Watkins (00:08:20) - I mean, honestly, you know, we're paying more . I mean, you know, I think that's the, you know, I mean, we want to change the paradigm. Um, I'd really love to be able to have different entry points for different people and find a way to, to make them be contented where they are so that everyone's not just looking at their boss, we know to, as a way to get that next job. But the truth is, it's such a fragmented market, just so many owners and operators out there that everyone's trying to steal salad from somebody else. And so I get to, from what we're seeing right now is we just have to pay more.   Sam Wilson (00:08:53) - Right? Right.   Todd Watkins (00:08:54) - And any and for stars, we're willing to do it. And, and, you know, and, and I would just say, you know, it might be if I could make a commercial for us in, in the markets where we're, if you're a potential manager out there for stars, we are willing to do it. We're absolutely willing to pay more. And we, you know, we, we have to. But I mean, I think that, you know, these are, like I said, these are getting to be good sized businesses. You know, you buy property for 60 million, you don't just turn it over to anybody. So you know, the difference of six, eight, $10,000 in, in a manager's salary on a, on a business, that size means nothing. So, right. Yes. Oh yeah.   Sam Wilson (00:09:26) - No, it absolutely doesn't. Uh, you talked about how the philosophy kind of needs to change as it pertains to the tenants. Before we get to that, what outside of pay more, is there a philosophy that you guys have had to change as it pertains to your staff?   Todd Watkins (00:09:45) - Sure. Like I will say, like right now we are in the market for a concierge at a property in Dallas, right? The, the idea is it's no longer enough to have, you know, someone who calls when your toilet overflows or someone who's not, you know, we wanna become a part of the community. We wanna have, you know, if, and I can tell you the name of the property, it's Skyline Trinity, you know, I, I'm talking to the city about having, you know, a 5K start there, you know, or what can we do to get our name out in, in that way to have a concierge shoe sort of, you know, they know all the restaurants, they know the places to go. They're a real resource that, uh, that allows us to say, you know, yes, the property right next door has their pool is, you know, two meters longer or their, you know, whatever their, their store is open for 15 minutes longer than ours is. But you still wanna be here. Cause we're building a community of people of, you know, interesting people, interesting places. It's a, it's, it's a, you know, you're getting more for your rent and again, a a a commodity box where you can put yourself,   Sam Wilson (00:10:44) - Right? No, no, that, that's really, really cool. And I, and that, and that, again, you know, that, that plays to both, both staff and, uh, and to tenants where if you, so we've talked a little bit about the challenges that, that you're, that we're facing right now. You know, how people are living. We've talked about employment and staffing challenges. Have we talked about insurance and kind of the things that are, uh, challenges on that front, and then how you mitigating just the ever increasing cost of insurance?   Todd Watkins (00:11:11) - Yeah, that's a tough one. Honestly, that's what I'm dealing with right now. Um, the, there have been a lot more once in a thousand year events that seem to have hit, um, particularly in parts of Texas, um, along the coast. At the same time coming out pandemic, there are a bunch of insurance companies that have just left the market. And so the premium increases, renewal re increases, sorry, that we're seeing are, you know, a hundred percent, you know, I, I got one in April that was 80%, couldn't believe it. And then just recently got them was 120%. So I think that, you know, and I, I know some of your, um, viewers, listeners are, are smaller. I think there are, what we're trying to find is programs to help small people get together so we can get some of the hef to the, and, and the benefit of size that, that, you know, some of the enormous players in this business have, they can go out, they can create their own towers of insurance or even their own captive insurance companies, you know, but my fourth thousand means I can't do that, but I know, but, but that's sort of some of the things we're trying to look at is even combinations with other operators to see if there are ways to help us, you know, get some benefits of, of scale.   Todd Watkins (00:12:22) - Because I mean, I, I think, and you know, now I'm gonna demonstrate an entire industry I know nothing about, but I think the insurers are really looking for ways to just bring in more profit, more premiums than they're paying out in losses. So, you know, when they look, when they look at my portfolio and do their pricing, you know, it's, you know, I have to have it. And I don't bring a whole lot to the party  than, than my 4,000 units. So if I can find ways to help people, you know, I mean the, some of the things that, that have been offered of, you know, well take a, you know, an an enormously higher deductible, you know, there are, that's like part of what the insurers are coming back to me with renewals on. I'm already taking more risks than I wanna, so it's, it's finding some way to be creative, to get more people in to, to truly under or, or to have enough, a good enough relation with my, um, brokers so that they can really tell our individual story about some of our properties. So it's not just, you know, east of I 95 makes a coastal, and so jack up, jack up the premium, it's this property is here, there, or the other place. And it's not the same risk as you might generically think it is by just looking on a map.   Sam Wilson (00:13:28) - Right, man. Yeah. And that's a challenge. I mean, how absorbing that, absorbing that Indian, right? Yeah. Yeah.   Todd Watkins (00:13:37) - Well, so that's the thing, right? So we've talked, so what have we talked about? We've talked about competition, we've gotta pay staff more. I got a hundred percent insurance increase. Um, you know, I mean, I can tell you that the, the local municipalities are not looking for less on their property taxes. Um, you know, it's, it it's an ever bigger challenge, , I mean, it's fun, but it's never bigger challenge,   Sam Wilson (00:14:00) - Ever bigger challenge. But there's a reason you're still in it. So what are the   Todd Watkins (00:14:05) - Opportunities? You're saying I don't have any other skills, ,   Sam Wilson (00:14:08) - , I'm not saying that at all. I'm saying you can do anything you want, and yet you choose to stay, you're in it. So  no, clearly not. You have way more skills than, uh, than I do, I promise you that. But, but what are, what's the opportunity that you see right now?   Todd Watkins (00:14:27) - Oh, I mean, you know, look, commercial real estate is, and, and so we are in multifamily, right? That's, that's all we do. We, you know, we, one of my partners like to say, you know, we don't know a lot about a lot, but we know a lot about this, right? Um, , it's right. It's still, it's an incredibly fragmented industry. So, you know, the, the, you know, there're millions s and i, I should have known these numbers, but, you know, million management of, of apartment properties out there and, and, you know, hundreds of millions of units. And the largest operator, owner operator has about a hundred thousand hundred, something like that. So it's, it's an incredibly fragmented, um, uh, market. It, the, the challenge every day there's a challenge in each one of these businesses and coming up with strategy and figuring out how we can keep it best positioned to make the highest return.   Todd Watkins (00:15:12) - Um, you know, it's, it's tangible in a way that, you know, you get to go in and see, you know, say we should pay for something, and then six months later actually seeing it come to fruition. You know, you, you, you go to apartments and you actually see, you know, kids playing on, on swings that you decided to be there. You know, it's, it's a lot of fun actually. , I mean, you know, I suppose, um, you know, everybody finds the thing that they liked or everyone should find the thing that they like to do the most. And I guess for me, you know, at this stage of my life, certainly this is what I like to do the most.   Sam Wilson (00:15:46) - Right. Is there, is there any strategy or, um, anything, I guess when you think about the multi-family space holistically, is there something where you're like, Hey, this is where our niche is and this is why we're staying here?   Todd Watkins (00:16:02) - Yeah, so, um, you know, we don't develop, that's a whole different set of skills. So, you know, looking at a piece of dirt and, you know, turning it into a, a building, I mean, I, I could only pray to be that creative and, and to deal with all the headaches that, that go along with that. You know, we, um, we don't do like really high end stuff. And we have some stuff that, that we have, um, uh, bought that's relatively newly built, but, you know, not skyscrapers, um, you know, Manhattan and all that sort of stuff. We are, you know, and maybe it's, um, it goes back to our time at Fannie Mae, but we're sort of BC market buyers. Um, you know, we like, um, the solid part of the market. It's not, you know, I'm a brain surgeon, but I just feel like renting it's people who, you know, if they don't necessarily need to rent, they're on the cusp of it.   Todd Watkins (00:16:53) - You know, they, they, they wanna rent. Um, and we wanna provide great, um, homes for 'em. But it's, it's people who, um, you know, are not just, you know, having a, having a, a, you know, a pieta tear because their place at the Hamptons is being worked on. Um, so that's sort of the, the part of the market where we stay, we know it, we think it's the deepest part of the market. Um, having been lenders, it has proven to actually, um, provi perform the best in downturns. Hmm. And so, you know, once you're a lender, you know, you always sort of watch the downside, um, a lot more than the up. So yeah, that's, that's kind of where we've come from, where we're, we'll probably stay.   Sam Wilson (00:17:29) - What, what are you guys doing, uh, speaking of lending? Like what's an attractive, what are attractive terms? What are attractive loans that you guys are, are looking for and liking right now?   Todd Watkins (00:17:44) - So that's actually not my part of the business. Um, I have a partner, John Siegel, who, who runs that. But typically, you know, we've been getting, and, and I, I jumped over something quickly, which I should have forgotten. It's, it's not only did we come from Fannie Mae, but one of my partners, Ken Bacon, actually used to run Fannie Mae. He ran Fannie Mae multi-family for about 12 years. So, um, we have done pretty well with agency debt. Um, it's typically, you know, uh, seven to 10 years. Um, we get as much interest only as we can. Um, and, you know, it's a, it's a cashflow business in the collection business . So, but in terms of actual terms right now, that would be something John would've to you, you'd be better off talking to him. Gotcha. Say they've better off talking to him. ,   Sam Wilson (00:18:27) - . I doubt that. Here we go. Let's talk, uh, about underwriting assumptions. Maybe, uh, maybe you can talk to us about, cuz I think one of the things you mentioned earlier was that, you know, we have all these, we have all these rising costs from everywhere from staff Sure. Insurance to, you know, all those challenges coming at you, and yet you also have investors who are still wanting that amazing return that they were getting in 2019 and 2020. How are you changing those underwriting assumptions for 2023, and then how are you communicating that back to your investors?   Todd Watkins (00:18:58) - So it's, um, honestly, it's hard and, you know, they're not many deals are getting done. Um, we actually are just, have just circled our first deal for the year, um, just this past week. Um, and it's, it's difficult. Um, we actually, you know, it's, we have different investors who have different, um, requirements and so we can kind of, um, try to find a fit for them, but it's been very, very difficult. And in fact, I mean, I don't know who else you're talking to, but I haven't heard of many deals going off this year. I think volume is just way, way down. Um, so I think that there is a, how should say, a sort of a bid ask that is, or, or readjustment, um, that's gonna have to happen. Um, as truth be told, some of the sellers are gonna have to come and start to realize that, you know, some of the amounts that they thought they were going to get, you know, 15, 18 months ago, just aren't going to be there.   Todd Watkins (00:19:57) - Um, I mean it's, you know, it's, it's just a math. Um, you know, investors, you know, investors still do want some of those returns now. They're, you know, they also will have to at some point come to grips with the fact that, you know, uh, if if they're going to put money out, it's gonna have to, they're gonna end up having to do something at lower than the returns that they were, um, looking for as well. But that's, you know, how a market will be made, right, is people, both sides will have to give some,   Sam Wilson (00:20:22) - Right, right. Yeah. And I, I would think just, you know, from a, uh, outsider's perspective, we only have a couple multi-family properties in our portfolio, but from an outsider's perspective, those deals with agency debt, you know, that was acquired two, three years ago at two and 3% fixed for 30 years. I mean, those are the ones that I think will still trade at, you know, uh, you know, at a premium. Am I in, in incorrect in that assumption?   Todd Watkins (00:20:50) - Well, all, especially if it's a sum. Um, the, yeah, well that's, that's largely what we've, we've been trying to do is assume is a assume loan. Um, but, but again, remember agents, so just so we're clear, multi-family, um, tends not to have the 30 year death. A standard product that comes out of Fannie is like a 10 year product. Okay. Um, single family will go out, will go out to 30 years. But typically on multi-family it's, it's 10. Um, sometimes you might see something out of FHA that goes longer, but I think it's typically it is 10 as the horizon. But yeah, that's where, that's what, if you have, um, if you have loans that can be assumed that where the math works there, that's probably where the action's gonna be. Right? Or quite honestly, if you're, I mean, you know, I think, you know, back to my father, um, you know, and one of these things it's like, you know, there's always gonna be a deal because someone always gets divorced, dies, you know, has to sell for some, you know, has some cash requirement.   Todd Watkins (00:21:46) - Um, I think there were deals done a few years ago that had variable rate debt, um, where either the rates has gone up so much that they can't afford it, or the escrowing for the next cap has gotten to be so much that they can't afford to hold them anymore. And I would imagine that some of those, you know, there could be, that could be where some of the movement starts. Cause some of those people, I mean, you know, God bless 'em, I hope they're all doing, but, but I, I would imagine if they're not feeling it, feeling great right now,   Sam Wilson (00:22:17) - Right? No, no, they're not. I can, I, I can, I can only imagine as well. And having talked to some of the people on this show, uh, who have been in that exact and are, are in that exact predicament right now, where it is, um, yeah, they're feeling, they're feeling that pinch. Todd, I got one last question here for you. Rail Field, why that name for your company? What, what does that come from ?   Todd Watkins (00:22:41) - So, um, uh, you know, it's, uh, the short answer, along short answer was we were starting with a, uh, a program and investor who, you know, needed a name. And it was already written in the documents because my partner Ken had come from, when he had come over, he had a, he had a company called Refield. Um, so we just took it longer answer. Um, the, originally there were two partners, ones African American and one was Asian. And the Asian person said, when my family came over here in the mid, you know, 19th century, you know, they were probably working on the rails. And the, the African American guy said, well, at the same time, I'm probably working in the fields and you got rail and field . So   Sam Wilson (00:23:21) - There you go. There you go. Fantastic. I love, I love, I love both answers as short and the long. That explains it very, very clearly. Todd, if our listeners wanna get in touch with you, learn more about your firm, uh, what is the best way to do that?   Todd Watkins (00:23:35) - Rayfield realty.com. Um, it's the long name, but I think it's worth it. Uh, but yeah, look us upfield realty.com.   Sam Wilson (00:23:42) - Rayfield realty.com. Yeah, we'll make sure we put that there in the show notes.

Ten years before Sheree Warren disappeared, another young mother vanished from her workplace in the suburbs of Ogden, Utah. Nancy Perry Baird's case shares many similarities with Sheree Warren's. Both were young mothers, recently divorced, working to support themselves. Police in both cases theorized a serial killer might be responsible. To this day, many of Nancy Baird's own relatives believe Ted Bundy abducted and killed her; a claim Bundy denied. COLD has obtained exclusive access to the Nancy Baird case files. In this bonus episode of COLD season 3, journalist and host Dave Cawley uncovers new evidence that illuminates Ted Bundy's role in Nancy's disappearance.Season 3 of Cold includes descriptions of rape, sexual assault, murder and domestic violence.

On this week's episode, host Colbert Cannon sits down with Faith Rosenfeld, Chief Administrative Officer at HPS Investment Partners. Faith recounts the many roles she took on during her 15-year tenure at Goldman Sachs and how one of those roles led her to taking a “blank sheet of paper” approach. Then, Faith discusses her leap into entrepreneurship as a Founding Partner of The Beacon Group, a private equity and advisory firm later acquired by JP Morgan Chase. She shares how business ownership further broadened her unique set of skills and prepared her to join HPS, then Highbridge Principal Strategies, as one of its first-ever employees. We talk about the evolution of the firm to today – and look ahead to how it is integrating ESG strategies from a private credit perspective and fostering an entrepreneurial spirit in its talent.Learn more about Faith Rosenfeld's tenure at HPS here.

In 1999, a 911 call came into the Craig Co., Oklahoma Sheriff's Dept. - the Freeman family's mobile home was on fire. Found in the burning rubble were parents Danny and Kathy Freeman. But their 16-year-old daughter Ashley, and her best friend Lauria Bible, vanished. Despite intensive searches, the two teenage girls were never found. It would take authorities decades to learn what likely happened to them, because in this case fear and intimidation trumped justice.

Amy and Sheryl sit down with COLD host and investigative reporter Dave Cawley to ask him your burning questions about COLD season 3, The Search for Sheree Warren. What about the jacket Sheree was wearing? And why didn't police look harder at the last known person to see Sheree before she disappeared? Amy and Sheryl also discuss ethical questions with Associate Professor of Journalism at Weber State University, Dr. Jean Norman.Talking Cold is the after-show podcast that dives into the key issues raised in COLD.

Welcome to the middle of the second British Invasion!  John Howard Jones was born in Southampton, in southern England to Welsh parents.  He grew up in Wales, moved to Canada when he was a teenager, and returned to the UK in the mid 70's where he attended the Royal Northern College of Music in Manchester.  The was the oldest of four boys, all of which became musicians, and started piano at the age of 7.  Dream Into Action is Howard Jones' second studio album, and was released in this month.  It went to number 10 on the Billboard 200, and number 2 on the UK albums chart.  Rupert Hine was the producer, who also produced albums for Rush.  Howard's brother Martin Jones plays bass on this album, and he has the group Afrodiziak as backing vocals on a number of tracks.  Jones had a successful debut release in 1984 called "Human Lib," and "Dream Into Action" would be an even bigger hit.  Howard Jones has a piano and keyboards-driven sound, and his lyrics are quite positive.  Jones believes that his positivity and depth tends to create a negative perception in the media, stating that "what's 'cool' is often very shallow and transient." Jones is still putting out albums today.  He released an album called Transform in 2019, and one called Dialogue in 20222.Bruce brings this synth-heavy 80's album to the podcast. Like to Get to Know You WellThis track preceded the album by over six months.  It came out as a single in August of 1984 as the Summer Olympics were kicking off in Los Angeles, and was dedicated to "the original spirit of the Olympic Games."  It was included in a remix album called "the 12" Album" in November 1984 before being included in this studio album.Assault and BatteryThis is a deeper cut which was played on an episode of Miami Vice.  The lyrics are about the horrors of eating meat - Jones was a vegetarian at the time, and is a vegan today.  This songs reminds us of Styx and Elton John with the keyboard work.  Life In One DayThe third single from the album (or fourth, depending upon how you count "Like to Get to Know You Well") went to number 19 on the Billboard Hot 100.  The lyrics are about not rushing through life, but taking time to enjoy the place where you are.  The British vocal group Afrodiziak can be heard contributing backing vocals to this song. Things Can Only Get BetterThe first single from the album is the big hit.  It went to number 5 on the Billboard Hot 100.  Afrodiziak contributes backing vocals to this track as well.  It is a very deliberately positive song, encouraging the listener who is down on his luck to keep going, and to keep looking for better days ahead. ENTERTAINMENT TRACK:Theme to the from the television series "Moonlighting" by Al JarreauBruce Willis launched his career in this detective romance comedy that starred Willis and Cybill Shepherd. STAFF PICKS:Don't Come Around Here No More by Tom Petty & the HeartbreakersRob features a song written by Tom Petty and Dave Stewart (from the Eurythmics).  This was the main hit from the sixth studio album "Southern Accents."  It is a break-up song partially inspired by a conversation Stewart overheard between Joe Walsh and Stevie Nicks.  The Alice In Wonderland-themed video is a must-see.We Are the World by U.S.A. for AfricaLynch brings us the ultimate supergroup.  This was a benefit single for victims of famine in Africa, and raised over $60 million.  The song was written by Michael Jackson and Lionel Richie, and Quincey Jones produced it.  Musicians appearing in the band were a veritable "who's who" in the music world, including performers as diverse as Stevie Wonder, Bruce Springsteen, Willie Nelson, Steve Perry, and Ray Charles.White Lies by Jason & the Scorchers Wayne's staff pick is off the group's first full length album, "Lost and Found."  Jason & the Scorchers' high energy and country twang led them to be described as "cowpunk."  The lyrics describe a couple in a bad relationship.  "Take these chains and set me free, release me from this misery.  Now, don't you waste my time with your alibis 'cause your heart can't hide what I see in your eyes."One Night in Bangkok by Murray HeadBruce goes to the theater for his staff pick.  This song is from a concept album and musical called "Chess," written by Benny Andersson and  Bjorn Ulvaeus (formerly of ABBA).  The musical is about a Cold War-era chess tournament between two grandmasters, one American and one Soviet.  Murray Head performs the spoken verse and Anders Glenmark sings the chorus. COMEDY TRACK:I'm Kissin' You Goodbye by Ray StevensWe finish up this week's podcast with a break-up song in a style only Ray Stevens can deliver.

Join Dr. Holmes as she interviews researcher and clinician Dr. Will Carroll on the topic of Autism Female Phenotypes. The discussion includes why females may be missed, and the diagnoses females receive before a later autism identification. Dr. Carroll will discuss a missed opportunity of research, and that is information a sister can provide with insight into having a sister on the spectrum. Other topics covered in this discussion: are friendships, eating disorders, depression, and suicide, as well as passionate interests.From Dr. Carroll's Research:From my own research, I found two types of interests: shared and unique interests. In the shared category, the women with ASD shared their interests, specifically with their sisters. These shared interests included media like cartoons and sci-fi shows or entertainment, arts and crafts, and reading. This is in comparison to those interests that were unique to the woman with ASD, such as academics, including history, art, literature, foreign languages, and musical instrument playing.Consider the systemizable factor to these Special Interests. There was a noticeable overlap in the interests, including the woman with ASD enjoying TV shows both by herself and with her sister and the woman with ASD doing crafts or handy work both by herself and with her sister. When the woman with ASD had a trusted companion (sister, parent), they could let go of their Special Interest for a time and engage in hobbies that didn't involve collecting.Considering the Female Autism Phenotype, the theory is that traits of ASD in women are uniquely different from those of men. Though my research did not look at men with ASD and their brothers, research suggests that women with ASD are more likely to have Special Interests more closely aligned with neurotypical women (Harrop et al, 2018). In my own practice, I see a number of women with ASD. Their Special interests include drawing, small gardening, collecting small tokens from an internet or video game they like, and video gaming. These women report liking the video games for the social aspect as well as the story and the achievements they earn while playing the game (Genshin Impact, Animal Crossing).Bio:Dr. Will Carroll is a licensed professional counselor in the state of Georgia.

Wellness Wednesday.  One day a week on my one hour weekday radio show, I cover all things health and wellness related. Things I find important or interesting that I like to share with others who might benefit. If even one nugget of new knowledge helps one of you listening or reading here, my time has been well spent.  This Wellness Wednesday show podcast is just me talking. No guests. Just Me. (and occasionally my engineer Bob)  There was big news this week that we have a crisis of loneliness going on here in the U.S. Half of the U.S. Adults are feeling lonely every day? How horrible is that?  The U.S. Surgeon General released an advisory on Tuesday calling attention to the public health crisis of loneliness, isolation, and lack of connection in the United States.  Everyone should read the story from ABC News called ‘US Surgeon General calls for action regarding the ongoing 'epidemic of loneliness and isolation', by Emma Egan. The report highlights that a lack of social connection can present significant health risks, as loneliness can increase risk of premature death by 26% and social isolation by 29%. On the flip side…U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy was quoted as saying, "Social connection can reduce the health risks associated with isolation and loneliness.” “By taking small steps every day to strengthen our relationships, we can rise to meet this moment together… And we can ensure our country and the world are better posed than ever to take on the challenges that lay ahead.” I'm personally suggesting that everybody put a little more effort into stepping up your social connections for your own sake and for the good of us all. And check in with a friend, a family member or someone who you think might need a dose of caring…just because. Hey if parrots can do it we can do it. What? You missed the story about the parrots being taught to call each other to become less lonely? It's True. U.S. scientists got owners to train their pet parrots to contact other birds using a touchscreen tablet. Read the story in The Guardian Here. Other Topics I covered this episode include; Why are Teen Girls Suffering from Record Levels of Sadness and Suicidality? A very disturbing report from Amen CLINICS. Parents and caretakers of teenage girls really need to read this. World Password Day. Celebrated the first Thursday of May exists to raise awareness about the importance of password security. I say create passwords that makes you smile each time you type one in!  What Does a Kids Healthy Eating Plate Look Like? Just because I always have a stash of emergency lollipops and gummies in my car, doesn't mean I don't ‘try' and teach my little granddaughter about healthy eating. The Kid's Healthy Eating Plate featured on Harvard.edu  is a visual guide to help educate and encourage children to eat well and keep moving. Everyone and their mother is playing Pickleball. What's the draw — and is it really a workout? Found some good answers in this NY Times story here; I only tried Pickleball once but so far I don't think like the Pickleball ‘ball'. As a tennis player I'm not sure I can get used to what feels like a WIFFLE BALL.  While we're on the subject of Wiffle Balls (we weren't but who cares) did you know where the Wiffle Ball came from? It was Summer 1953, and a Dad was watching his kids play a game in their backyard in Fairfield Ct. using a perforated plastic gold ball and a broomstick handle. The rest of the story and family legacy is here on Wiffle.com Ever get an allergic reaction and freak out? Me too. That's relaxing, eh? It's why I always carry Benadryl with me especially when traveling. ‘Allergies in the sky: Airlines are pressed to treat severe reactions', was a report this week from NBC. The FAA is considering updates to their emergency kits including Epi Pens, pediatric doses of antihistamines and meds to reverse opioid overdoses. BTW: AN EpiPen® is an auto-injector that contains epinephrine, a medication that can help decrease your body's allergic reaction by: Relaxing the muscles in your airways to make breathing easier Helping to reverse the rapid and dangerous decrease in blood pressure Relaxing the muscles in the stomach, intestines, and bladder EpiPen® is for emergency treatment only and does not replace seeing a healthcare provider or going to the hospital.                

We discuss what we did at KubeCon, the recent VMware State of Kubernetes 2023 survey, and the smells of platform engineering maturity. Also, some tips on daily logging and to do list management. Here is the original video recording if you're into that kind of thing. As ever, with your three friends: @egrigson, @benbravo73, & @cote. Links and Notes The 2023 State of Kubernetes Survey is fully out. The new component is looking at the benefits of Kubernetes. Distro/service marketshare - VMware is steadily climbing up, yay! Coté's multi-cloud usage take. Including a great chart from IDC on where workloads are living. More: we need to start thinking of "multi-cloud" as just meaning "all the computers and stuff we run." Putting the word "cloud" in there makes it seem like magic cloud stuff, when all we are/should be talking about is the entire, heterogeneous IT estate. Something like 60% of people say it makes developer more productive, even more say there are operational benefits (64%). The developer productive part is confusing given the middling "shorten developer release cycle" figures over the years. But, whatever! 10% drop in developers owning and managing Kubernetes. Related, from McKinsey engineers: "As a rule of thumb, if developers spend more than, say, 10 to 20 percent of their coding time on container configuration, failover, security, or other infrastructure issues, it makes more sense to tackle these issues via CSP services instead, so that valuable time and skills can be reserved for functionality that serves the business." An idea for how many apps are running in Kubernetes, finally! While writing blog posts for the survey, I found this: Gartner estimates that "by 2027, 25% of all enterprise applications will run in containers, an increase from fewer than 10% in 2021." We're somewhere in between there in 2021, likely closer to 10% than 25%. KubeCon EU 2023 What's Ed's take - Edward Grigson actually did some work (unlike social loafers, like Coté)! E.g.: "FinOps for Platform Engineering – I spoke to their CEO at KubeconEU and got a demo. Looks good – very flexible and easy to use." Found three new vendors: Palantir Apollo, Mia.Platform, Port / Cortex. Jon Collins @ GigaOm: lines still being drawn around the components, WebAssembly. Best of breed vs. integrated platform. Robot: "The cloud-native world is maturing, and a multi-platform architecture will help build better manageability and governance in the future." And, Robot summarizing his platform engineering take: "Platforms are important, but the author argues for the need for multi-platform engineering (MPE) to understand and manage multiple clouds, stacks, and toolchains.The MPE group should be focused on empowering and enabling its users, acting as a product group for the entire organization." Daniel Bryant on dev stuff, full blog post. VMware schwag review: people love metal water bottles, not so much bottle openers. There are a lot of gambling service people in EU crowds. Software Defined Talk at/on KubeCon. Though I was one of the three people (t)here, I don't really remember what we talked about except the Dirk bread claw. So it goes with me and podcasts. Ben was not at KubeCon EU (sadface) but his YouTube picks are:Evolution of WASM: Past, Present, and Future - Bailey Hayes, Cosmonic The State of Backstage in 2023 - Ben Lambert & Patrik Oldsberg, Spotify Choose Your Own Adventure: The Treacherous Trek to Development - Whitney Lee & Viktor Farcic How to Blow up a Kubernetes Cluster - Felix Hoffmann, iteratec Platform Engineering Strategy stuff: Platform Maturity Model paper, draft here.

Links and Notes The 2023 State of Kubernetes Survey is fully out. The new component is looking at the benefits of Kubernetes. Distro/service marketshare - VMware is steadily climbing up, yay! Coté's multi-cloud usage take. Including a great chart from IDC on where workloads are living. More: we need to start thinking of "multi-cloud" as just meaning "all the computers and stuff we run." Putting the word "cloud" in there makes it seem like magic cloud stuff, when all we are/should be talking about is the entire, heterogeneous IT estate. Something like 60% of people say it makes developer more productive, even more say there are operational benefits (64%). The developer productive part is confusing given the middling "shorten developer release cycle" figures over the years. But, whatever! 10% drop in developers owning and managing Kubernetes. Related, from McKinsey engineers: "As a rule of thumb, if developers spend more than, say, 10 to 20 percent of their coding time on container configuration, failover, security, or other infrastructure issues, it makes more sense to tackle these issues via CSP services instead, so that valuable time and skills can be reserved for functionality that serves the business." An idea for how many apps are running in Kubernetes, finally! While writing blog posts for the survey, I found this: Gartner estimates that "by 2027, 25% of all enterprise applications will run in containers, an increase from fewer than 10% in 2021." We're somewhere in between there in 2021, likely closer to 10% than 25%. KubeCon EU 2023 What's Ed's take - Edward Grigson actually did some work (unlike social loafers, like Coté)! E.g.: "FinOps for Platform Engineering – I spoke to their CEO at KubeconEU and got a demo. Looks good – very flexible and easy to use." Found three new vendors: Palantir Apollo, Mia.Platform, Port / Cortex. Jon Collins @ GigaOm: lines still being drawn around the components, WebAssembly. Best of breed vs. integrated platform. Robot: "The cloud-native world is maturing, and a multi-platform architecture will help build better manageability and governance in the future." And, Robot summarizing his platform engineering take: "Platforms are important, but the author argues for the need for multi-platform engineering (MPE) to understand and manage multiple clouds, stacks, and toolchains.The MPE group should be focused on empowering and enabling its users, acting as a product group for the entire organization." Daniel Bryant on dev stuff, full blog post. VMware schwag review: people love metal water bottles, not so much bottle openers. There are a lot of gambling service people in EU crowds. Software Defined Talk at/on KubeCon. Though I was one of the three people (t)here, I don't really remember what we talked about except the Dirk bread claw. So it goes with me and podcasts. Ben was not at KubeCon EU (sadface) but his YouTube picks are:Evolution of WASM: Past, Present, and Future - Bailey Hayes, Cosmonic The State of Backstage in 2023 - Ben Lambert & Patrik Oldsberg, Spotify Choose Your Own Adventure: The Treacherous Trek to Development - Whitney Lee & Viktor Farcic How to Blow up a Kubernetes Cluster - Felix Hoffmann, iteratec Platform Engineering Strategy stuff: Platform Maturity Model paper, draft here.

Getting diagnosed with a learning disability or attention disorder is crucial to getting students the support they need to be successful in the classroom, however, the assessments are extremely cost and time prohibitive. This week on Found Darrell and Becca are talking with Stefan Bauer about how Marker Learning is cutting the cost of learning disability assessments by conducting them remotely, how they've successfully worked with school districts to help them test their required amount of students, and the potential to take Marker Learning into the prison system to assess incarcerated people and provide them with tools to learn in a way that's better suited to their abilities.We also say goodbye to Darrell as a regular host of Found this week, but don't worry you can still catch him every Friday on The TechCrunch Podcast! Subscribe to Found to hear more stories from founders each week.Connect with us:On TwitterOn InstagramVia email: found@techcrunch.com

Hey there, reader!  Happy small business week! (And teacher appreciation… and nurse appreciation..) What a travesty that all of these incredible people have to share a single week! This week on the Found podcast we are focusing on you, the small business owner. Or you the entrepreneur. Which is which? Can you be both? This solocast breaks it down. Key Takeaways If you, like me, identify as a creative, you might love the doing and creating in your business but maybe aren't as confident in making money decisions. My friend, Sheila Hansen CPA, is my secret weapon and is booking a limited number of Intensive Days in 2023. If you are considering outsourcing bookkeeping or financial services, this is THE way to get started. I have worked with Sheila in many capacities but especially valued our intensive day together back in October 2021. Learn more on Sheila's website on the services tab. (P.S. Sheila has been a guest on the podcast before!) I used to use the terms “small business owner” and “entrepreneur” interchangeably: “There isn't a better, there is only a different, and that is okay.” To describe the difference in the two titles I'm referencing an oldie-but-goodie 10-year-old article from Entrepreneur magazine. “Small business owners have a great idea, while entrepreneurs have big ideas.” Small business owners add their own flavor to a blueprint that is already in place, while entrepreneurs think bigger and take more risk and chance. Small business owners have a dependable, repeatable process with margin for profit, and with time and consistency that business will keep them employed and in the mix of the business dealings. Entrepreneurs like profit too but will often answer the little voice that says “what if we try it this way instead.” Small business owners are part of the day-to-day and have a direct hands-on role in making sure everything is completed. Entrepreneurs is thinking out far ahead and depending on a team to carry the weight of day-to-day tasks. Small business owners are sentimental with their business while entrepreneurs are focused on scaling and selling. A healthy economy needs both entrepreneurs and small business owners. Your own business sometimes needs you to be a mix of both. I started MKM as an entrepreneur when social media marketing wasn't a thing yet. I moved into the headspace of a small business owner to secure a dependable income and profit for my business. Now I'm enjoying a flow back to a more entrepreneurial mindset and enjoying the ride. I literally cried happy tears the first time I used Flodesk for my email list. Not only was it BY FAR the easiest platform I had tried, my emails were beautiful and matched my branding!

If you get an unsolicited sexual call or nude picture sent to you, is that a crime? You may be surprised by the answer. One of the suspects in the disappearance of Sheree Warren in 1985 was caught making lewd phone calls to women multiple times. Do these types of crimes often escalate to other, more aggressive behaviors?

Found this audio from the Opie and Anthony Show.  Comedian Bill Burr and Anthony Cumia having a heated debate about race.  Very interesting audio that does have a bunch of laughs.  Anthony would go off like this on a pretty regular basis on the later years and to be honest I didn't like to participate all that much in this crap.  IN this clip I'm basically wallpaper on my own show. Keep in mind that is feels relevant to put on my podcast feed cause of the confrontation Anthony And Bill hd recently at the Comedy Cellar here in nyc where Anthony ended up getting chest bumped out of the club by Clubsoda Kenny.  I gave my 2 cents on that incident here:  https://omny.fm/shows/opie-radio-1/anthony-vs-bill-burr Sponsored by Hello Fresh - Don't miss out on this amazing offer!
