In this episode of Momentum: A Race Forward Podcast, Glenn Harris, President of Race Forward, and Eric Ward, Executive Vice President, reflect on the state of racial justice just one week after the inauguration of Donald Trump as the 47th President of the United States. With only seven days of executive orders and surprising political developments, the federal government is already undergoing fundamental changes that threaten hard-won racial justice gains. Glenn and Eric emphasize the urgency of resilience and strategy in navigating these turbulent times, situating the challenges ahead within a broader historical context and calling for purposeful, unified action.The episode delves into the systemic impacts of Trump's executive orders and policies, which aim to destabilize vulnerable communities and erode democratic principles. Drawing on their own experiences in organizing and coalition building, Glenn and Eric discuss strategies that can fortify both local and national movements. They stress the importance of proactive engagement and collective power to disrupt regressive policies, even when the odds may feel overwhelming. Glenn and Eric also address the emotional and practical challenges faced by those committed to racial justice work. Acknowledging the fear and uncertainty many feel, they encourage listeners to channel those emotions into strategic preparation and advocacy. They spotlight several resources from Race Forward, including the organization's Strategic Plan, the report From Project 2025 to Project 2029: How We Resist an Authoritarian Takeover and Turn Public Administration into a Force for Equity and Justice, and the H.E.A.L. Together (Honest Education Action & Leadership) initiative. These tools serve as a foundation for resistance and resilience in the face of systemic oppression.Resources: Race Forward's Strategic Plan https://bit.ly/42xa3U8From Project 2025 to Project 2029: How We Resist an Authoritarian Takeover and Turn Public Administration into a Force for Equity and Justicehttps://bit.ly/4gkNHZtHEAL (Honest Education Action & Leadership)https://bit.ly/4aFqrnr

Check it out below: Clint Harris (00:00:00) - Traditionally, we'll buy a building for a couple million bucks, put a couple million into it, and then stabilize. Value is usually between 13 to $17 million, which means we're sitting at around 30 to 35% loan to value when we are stabilized. So we can refi to 5,560%, pay our investors and ourselves when we do that, and we're paying people out by way of a refinance, it's a nontaxable event because it's not a capital gain. We didn't sell anything, so they're getting a nice return. We keep some money, keep the lights on here at Nomad, and then that gives us the ability to continue the scale. Intro (00:00:32) - Welcome to the how to Scale commercial real Estate show. 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 (00:00:45) - Glenn Harris has 16 years in medical sales. He has built a short term rental portfolio to replace his income. He has a property management company and now he's doing self-storage conversion projects and syndications. He's also a general partner now with Nomad Capital and has over $120 million in assets under management. Sam Wilson (00:01:04) - Clint, welcome to the show. Clint Harris (00:01:05) - Thank you. Sam, great to be here. Great to see you again. Sam Wilson (00:01:08) - Absolutely. Always good to see you, Clint. There are three questions I ask every guest who comes on the show in 90s or less. Can you tell me where did you start? Where are you now and how did you get there? Clint Harris (00:01:18) - I started building in a career in medical sales. That is a short. It's a young man's game that will grind you up in terms of nights, calls, uh, working weekends, heart problems. I was implanting pacemakers and defibrillators. That is not a Monday through Friday, 9 to 5 kind of job. So that's where I started. Because of that, I actively focused on looking to build an off ramp from that lifestyle to stop trading time for money. Uh, and that got me into single family rentals, where I discovered that it's a very slow way to get ahead. That got me into, uh, buying small multifamily properties and converting them to short term rentals. Clint Harris (00:01:59) - And that taught me the value of multifamily and the value of asset class conversion that drastically increases the value of an asset, because you change the formula by which the asset is valued. And that led me to, again, a very active profile. It replaced my income. It gave me a level of financial freedom, but it did not give me time or location independence. So in the pursuit of time, location and financial independence, that led me to self-storage, which is where I am now, and general partner with Nomad Capital. We specifically focus on buying big box retail buildings like Kmart's, grocery stores and warehouses, and we convert them from one single big box into 6 or 700 class A climate controlled self-storage units. And it's taking those same lessons. It's it's one property that can be converted to a different asset, where you change the formula by which the value is created, and you create multiple tenants and putting them in place, you're buying for less than the replacement cost. Use vertical integration to leave as much value as you possibly can. Clint Harris (00:02:55) - And that's what changed my life in a meaningful way. And I left Cardiology behind in in 2022 and, uh, full time nomad and real estate investor. Sam Wilson (00:03:04) - Man, that's really cool. I love that you you've gone through several iterations of the business, and I guess in what and what year did you start investing in real estate? How long has that been? Clint Harris (00:03:16) - I started investing in real estate. Let's say I bought my first property as a duplex when I was in my early 20s. I'm okay. I'm 41 now. I would tell you this. I started investing in real estate when I was probably 2324. It was the post 2008 crash era. So between 2010 and 2013, I think my wife and I bought nine single family properties, I believe, um, the reality was there's a big difference between investing in real estate and doing it correctly. I'll tell you, I did it wrong for at least ten years. It wasn't until, uh, I relocated to Wilmington, North Carolina. My wife and I took a promotion. Clint Harris (00:03:56) - We moved to the beach, and I used a lot of road time to start listening to podcasts aggressively and educating. So I said, I've been doing real estate a long time. I've been doing real estate correctly, uh, since 2018. That was when we first got it right. And we started we unloaded some single family properties. We did some 1030 ones, and we started buying multifamily properties with bad long term tenants, converting them to Airbnbs. And that's really where it kind of took off. And the lesson I learned is, you know, you could have four condos at the beach with four mortgages, four sets of HOAs and four sets, utilities and break even. Or I could buy one quad plex, have one mortgage, one set of taxes and utilities, and net 80 grand a year. So the unit density in that lesson. So I think there's a big difference in investing and investing correctly. And I certainly was not doing it the right way for the first ten years or so. Sam Wilson (00:04:46) - Well, yeah. Sam Wilson (00:04:48) - And that I mean, that's kind of the thrust of the show is how to scale. Like it's it's one of those things where and you've made the, the, the progression. I think that so many investors make along the way, myself included, where it's like, oh, wait, like this, just this doesn't work at the single family level. Uh, what were some of the things, I guess, I mean, you because you developed a model, you said, okay, this model didn't work or isn't working the way we want it to. Like getting through those transitions is oftentimes tough. And or people can be accused of shiny object syndrome going, well, here's the next greatest and best thing. Like, how did you work your way through that without feeling like you're just chasing your own tail, trying to find the next iteration of what might work? Clint Harris (00:05:27) - Well, I did, I think that's a really, really good question. If I'm trying to give you the most condensed life experience that I can that's going to offer the most value to you and your listeners, I would say this with single family rentals. Clint Harris (00:05:38) - The lesson that I learned there is that if one property is 1 or 2 headaches a year, and then you multiply that by nine, it's it's a very slow way to get ahead. It does not scale very well. And ultimately like it's just not worth your time. The mistake that I made from there, not a mistake. As part of our journey moving into small multifamily properties. And we still own and we have 14 Airbnb properties and a property management company that manages another 80 listings. Which is why I keep talking to you about laundromats, because we got £40,000 of linens a month during the summer to deal with, um, the the issue when I made the jump from that first portfolio that we built and ultimately we took it apart and rebuilt it into something else, here's the important thing I think I was really focused on. The finances. And single families would just way too slow. So the financial independence and the goal that I had to reach in terms of financial independence and cash flow was there by jumping to a short term rental strategy, specifically with multifamily properties. Clint Harris (00:06:38) - However, when we built that portfolio out to the point where it replaced my income from surgical sales, we tried to turn it over to some property management companies. And the reality was, nobody's going to manage my business the way that I manage my business. Right. So our options were to either unpack that and go in another direction or do what we did, which is build a property management company around it. And it took us two years to do that. And now people look at it and they think that it's passive income. We've got checks rolling in and my properties are being managed at cost and it's passive income. The reality is it's residual income. We just frontloaded the work several years ago, and you don't see all the work that went involved. And now it just looks like mailbox money. And here's the issue that I ran into. Then the goalpost moved my goals for what I wanted to accomplish changed. And I suspect that throughout my life they're probably going to change again. So I'm trying to get ahead of that by talking to people farther down the road and learn. Clint Harris (00:07:38) - I was focusing on financial independence when I hit that level of financial independence. It did not come with time or location independence. We're all after financial independence, right? And everybody says that they love investing. The reality is, I don't think they love investing. I think they love what investing represents to them in terms of freedom of choice and freedom of purpose. But the way that you build out your portfolio, you could be painting yourself into a corner and pitching, pigeonholing yourself. I have properties, multifamily properties at the beach that cash flow like crazy. But instead of one tenant in each property, I have 8 to 10 tenants per month in each listing. They're paying a lot of money to be there, and they have high expectations and there's a lot of turnover and the messaging and communication and issues that pop up, even with just managing the people that are managing our property management company. It's on the weekends and it's during the summer, and it does not get you time or location independence because you have to stay on top of that. Clint Harris (00:08:43) - And it takes extra work to create the extra value from the multifamily properties there. And so for me, the goalpost moved because it wasn't really just financial freedom that I was after. It was time and location independence. So if you take a step back and you look at things in terms of scale, the same lessons from value add that were there with single family and leveraging and BR and using the money again is there with multifamily, the importance of residential density and more rental units than you have sets of fixed overhead. And the lesson of an asset class conversion that changes the value of the property? All those lessons are there. But then you factor in, okay, what's going to give me the time independence, the location independence and the financial freedom to get where I want to be. And ultimately, when I talk to the older guys that were farther down the road, for me, it was one of three things. But traditionally hard money lending and lending, uh, cell storage and mobile home parks. Clint Harris (00:09:39) - And I didn't have $1 million to lend anybody. I didn't have any interest in mobile home parks. I wasn't that thrilled with tenants at the moment because of who we'd been dealing with through our short term rentals and the 85 properties that our company managed. So that led to self storage. Then when I met my partners, Eric and Levi Hemingway, through local networking, they're doing asset class conversion. We went in and did a joint venture in 2021. We bought an old Kmart for 1.5 million. The replacement cost on the big box retail building was 6.5. We put 2.5 million into it. We're into it for 4 million. We converted it to 600 climate controlled self-storage units, and it's worth three times what we have into it, depending. Different projects vary, right. But that was the one that as a joint venture was like, okay, if we wanted to build this cinder block shell, it's going to cost us $6.5 million. But we can buy it because there's very little appetite for big box retail. Clint Harris (00:10:30) - But it's got the residential density and A1357 mile radius. It's got the vehicle count that created the value for us to be able to move on. And when you talk about scalability, if you buy an asset, no matter what it is, you fix it up and you make it nicer. You increase the rents. The value goes up by 30%. In order for you to a pay day, you either have to wait and get your cash on cash return through the cash flow, or you probably have to liquidate the asset for you and your investors to get a payday. The good thing about asset class conversion is that it can be such a swing in value that it leaves you sitting at a really low loan to value. Like traditionally, we'll buy a building for a couple million bucks, put a couple million into it, and the stabilized value is usually between 13 to $17 million, which means we're sitting at around 30 to 35% loan to value when we are stabilized. So we can refi to 55. 60% pay our investors and ourselves when we do that, and we're paying people out by way of a refinance. Clint Harris (00:11:30) - It's a nontaxable event because it's not a capital gain. We didn't sell anything, so they're getting a nice return. We keep some money, keep the lights on here at Nomad, and then that gives us the ability to continue the scale. So the lessons from everything I was doing earlier, it's the same thing. I think that's why the importance of people going through the steps of whatever it takes to get them, uh, through their career and learning, just understanding that it's significantly more likely that whatever you're doing right now is probably a stepping stone to where you want to be later versus the destination. And if you feel that way, I think it's easier to always be learning and networking, and that's typically how you're going to get ahead. Sam Wilson (00:12:09) - I love it, I love it, Clint. That's very, very insightful. I would say there's two thoughts that come to mind when you were talking. One is that real estate is a get rich, slow game. And I think that people oftentimes, myself included, probably, you know, in yester years they've thought, oh my gosh, we're going to do this and we're going to do that, and we're going to do one deal. Sam Wilson (00:12:26) - Like, you know, Clint is talking about right now, man, we're set. But it's like that's like you said, it's a stepping stone. I think it's a get rich slow game. And the second thought I had behind that was holding with three fingers when I'm already counting the two. The second thought I had behind it is that you were talking about, um, financial independence, then time and location independence. And I think one precedes the other. Like for a lot of people, you do have to initially find the financial independence so that you can then begin thinking about what time and location independence might look like. Talk to me about how you're doing, what you're doing right now, and how that plays into your set desire to be time and location independent. Clint Harris (00:13:07) - Yeah, that's a great point. I think it's not. You can't scale all of those things at once. You just traditionally you're going to reach a level of financial independence. And then what you do with that money determines whether or not you're going to be able to afford to get your time back and get your, your location independence. Clint Harris (00:13:22) - So what we're doing now in terms of scalability is last year we did six individual deals. We did two kmart's, three warehouses and a grocery store. This year we've converted to a fund model. So we've got a $10 million fund open right now for the purchase of $30 million worth of buildings that are going to be converted to $80 million worth of storage. So we get a scalability bump there. In terms of working with a portfolio. We just closed the first two properties. We got three more to go, and we can order the materials and get them a lot cheaper. We have different crews that are working at the same time, basically overlapping on different projects. So the overall fixed cost of the properties continues to get lower and lower, which just helps us with that loan to value with the stabilization and be able to refinance and move on. So in terms of that, like that, just we're just continuing to make those small tweaks and move forward. I think I heard something really recently that just impacted me. Clint Harris (00:14:14) - It was a statement somebody made in passing, and it just it gave me pause. And coming from someone that has an active real estate investment portfolio, small, but I mean, it does well for us. It's one of those things where I have to look on at the return of the property from the initial purchase price we were buying at the beach in 2018 and 2020. We've had massive appreciation, so I've got my return on the property, return on the initial investment, then I've got my return on the equity as to how much equity has grown in the property, and it might be lackluster there, but then there's also, you know, those are fairly active. And then I look at the returns that Nomad is paying out or that you can find across the alternative investing landscape, like if I invested in your, your, your laundromat funds or whatever it may be, you can choose your asset, your operator or anything else. But somebody said recently, you know, I've done a lot of active investing in the past, and I used to look at my return on investment now where I am in my life, I look at the return per hour that I have to spend worrying about it every year, and I can make 50% return on investment. Clint Harris (00:15:19) - But if I'm an active investor working on something, that's one thing. But if I'm making an 18 or a 20% return with a passive investment strategy and I spend two hours a year thinking about it, or reading the reports or reading the monthly updates or whatever it's like, for me, that is a significantly higher return based upon the amount of hours of my year that I spend thinking about it. And the dude that told me what this was in Colorado for two months, ice climbing up waterfalls and I was like, probably somebody I should listen to. So I thought that was a unique perspective of, at the end of the day, like, it's just it's a testament that goes to show that the older we get. I think our time becomes more and more valuable to us. And it's one thing that you're willing to sacrifice some of that to get your time back. And that can be a slippery slope, because if you built a portfolio of properties with the intention of managing them yourself, and that makes it a good deal, and then you haven't factored in the cost of management or for somebody else to handle those assets for you. Clint Harris (00:16:22) - When you do decide it's time for you to get your time back and you're trying to put management in place, there's a cost to that, and that's a line item. You have to pay for that management, and that can sometimes take a deal that was a good deal and turn it into not a great deal. And that means it can take an entire portfolio that you've built and turned it into something that it's not a great deal unless you're the one managing it. And now you've just got a job, right? And that's another scenario where maybe you get the financial independence, but you don't get the timer location independence. And without those three things together, you have to have all three to have any kind of independence of purpose where you choose what you want to do. Hopefully it's family or giving or building or whatever is important to you, and fishing or hiking or ministry or whatever it may be. But the ability to make that choice on your own has to have those three components, and sometimes you can scale out in a way that it's at the detriment you're giving one of those up to accomplish the other, and they can be mutually exclusive. Clint Harris (00:17:23) - And you don't know that until you get farther down the path of building out a portfolio. And then you have to either just lie in the bed that you've made or learn how to unpack it and shift. Sam Wilson (00:17:32) - That's absolutely right. And it's and I think there's no right answer here is the other other side of this where it's like, you got to figure out what works for you. I will I'm, I got a front row seat to, um, having made some investments personally, passive investments in some deals that just simply aren't working out. And it's, it's a painful like, oh, man. Like, hey, I was looking for passive investing. And instead I put in my, my money into some things that performed well for years. And suddenly they've gone poof. And it's like, oh my gosh, what happened there? So I think, you know, there's a lot of things we don't have time to unpack here, but it is figuring out what strategy I think works for you, which one you want to trade your time for, do you want to actively manage it? You know what? And knowing your operator to I mean, that's one we again, I'm going down a rabbit hole. Sam Wilson (00:18:17) - We probably don't want to or don't have time to really unpack, but it's something that, uh, you know, figuring out what the right path for you is. And do you want to be that active operator? And if so, just be going into it with your eyes wide open or it's like, hey, man, you know what? This is going to cost you? Time and location dependence is is a price you're going to pay. You have to stay here in order to make this work. So how let me ask you this one quick question. I know we're at the end of the end of the call time here, but you've built out a property management company and now you're working full time with Nomad Capital, you know, running the self-storage fund and everything else that you guys have going on. How do you manage all that? Clint Harris (00:18:52) - So it's similar to the smartest thing I did, honestly, there was was get out of the way. I'm a visionary and a big picture guy, and I have one of the strengths that I have is I can get people excited about a common goal and help people kind of see the vision of of what we're building. Clint Harris (00:19:09) - And I can tend to be a little bit heavy handed in terms of wanting to have control of that. The smartest thing I did with our company was, you know, build it out from scratch. The first 18, 24 months, I had an operating partner who's kind of, um, we're doing it together, but he's following my lead with some of the suggestions and softwares and directions that we went. And then we brought on another manager, and it didn't take me too long. It took me longer than it should, but it didn't take me too long to realize, you know what? These people are better operators than I am. So the one thing I will give myself credit for is having good judgment and character and abilities when choosing those partners. Uh, besides that, getting out of their way and let them do what they do, which is better than than what I do. Right? And so again, there's a cost to that. I get owners distribution, but I'm giving up income there to bring in a manager, but I'm bringing in a manager who's better at her job than I am at her job and letting her do what she does. Clint Harris (00:20:05) - And within Nomad Capital, same thing. I partnered with guys that have significantly better skill set than I do. They're GCS with 35 years of commercial construction experience like I do investor relations, capital raising, education, that kind of stuff. And that's my wheelhouse. That's my background because I was in medical sales for 16 years, and I can have that conversation. And a lot of our investors are white coat physicians that I used to work with. Right. So that's kind of my wheelhouse. But the best thing that I know how to do is identify people that I know, like, trust and respect, and then let them do what they do and try to look for any way that I can to provide value and help. So, um, I know that's not the answer that you're really looking for, but the reality is, like, I've just got other people that are better than I am, and they're people that I, I can trust and and I do. And I'll let them do what they do. Sam Wilson (00:20:53) - That's fantastic. Clint Harris, thank you for coming on the show today. I certainly appreciate it.

You can contact me here: email: rick@theoutdoorbizpodcast.com Or leave me a message on Speakpipe! Brought to you by Show Notes What was the adventure or outdoor experience that sparked you to work in the Outdoor Biz? Wow, that's a good banger to start with. I guess for me, it was probably when I did my first travel, and I got my first taste of a real culture shock. I flew from Darwin, Australia to East Timor, and that was back when it wasn't its own country as part of Indonesia. And then that just kind of hit me hard, and it was just like so awesome and so amazingly invigorating all at the same time and a bit scary. And it was just like, I was like, you know, 21 years old and, but that planted the seed of travel, which has been with me for the rest of, you know, for the rest of my life so far. And photography and storytelling, how did those come into your life? Yeah, so I was kind of at a crux in my life where I wanted to change what I was doing. I used to be a golf professional. Actually, I was a member of the Canadian Professional Golf Association. It was great because it was kind of one of those sports that you don't really, or careers that you don't really associate with the outdoors necessarily, but it kind of totally is. You're out there outside all the time. It kind of wasn't doing enough for my soul. Always when I traveled, I took photographs, you know, I had a little point and shoot, and then someone was looking at my photos, and they're like, oh, your, your photos are pretty good. They're like, way better than the normal stuff that we see from someone's travels or whatever. I was like, oh, thanks. And it kind of got the wheels spinning. So I enrolled in this program in Victoria, BC. It was called the Western Academy of Photography. It was like one of those 10-month intensive courses, and I was single at the time, and it was like, I'm a Pisces and apparently were creative. And before then, I didn't really have, there was no creative outlet for me, aside from maybe golf or whatever. But then when I got into photography, that was just like, it, I was bit, I was in, I was shooting every single day and just like shooting, and that's when we were like, this is back in early 2000, still Darkroom days. The dark room was open till midnight. We could go in there and just make our own prints and stuff. It was pretty cool. So I just let it go. Your bio says you believe in passion, diversity, and the search for freedom outside. I'm most curious about freedom outside. Tell us what inspires you about freedom outside. The freedom really comes from my brother, cuz he was such a, he wasn't your typical traveler. Like he was the kind of guy that would get in the rickshaw and tell Robert to sit down, and he was gonna take the rickshaw for a while, and then he would take the dude out for lunch. So he was that kind of guy, and he was just, he really like, as cliche as it sounds, he really did live like full on. He lived each moment like it was his last almost, and he was just like one of those full-on guys. So that came over into me. You are a busy guy, tell us about RISE Outdoor Innovation Inc. That is another labor of love. Um, so one day, I was. On an annual paddle trip, a bunch of us, 20 plus, maybe 30 of us that year, uh, on a paddle trip down the Thompson River here. So we carry all our camping gear and have a great old time. And you know how it goes, you're camping with your spouse, got the chores to do, and it was my chore to take down camp that day. So I had to deflate the mattresses, you kneel on it, and then you lay on it, and you fold it up, and then you roll it again, and you do that, and then you find the stuff sack. If you can find the stuff sack and put it in there, then take the tent down. It was kind of raining, and I was a little bit hungover to be honest. And you know, you're kind of swallowed in all these like mountains of fabric trying to stuff things in StuffSack. And I was like; there's gotta be another way. This idea was in my mind to create a better mouse trap. And this idea wouldn't go away, so I started to act on it. I'm trying to bring the world the first rapid inflatable and inflatable outdoor sleep system with an integrated mattress. So everything is just taking away the hassle of setting up and taking down a tent. Because it takes approximately 18 to 30 minutes, depending on how well you even know your gear. To get the tent out, blow up the mattress, and get everything ready. Yeah. And I hope to, you know, it's based on avalanche airbag technology. Oh, interesting. So I'm gonna trademark the term 'push-button-pitch'. So you push a button, and it's gonna inflate in a few seconds, minute, I dunno. So I'm deep in the prototyping stage right now, bootstrapping my own brand, trying to build the brand, just trying to build some community. Let's talk about the Rise and Sean Foundation. I love the outdoor field trips concept. What's Rise and Sean? Sean was my brother's name. So when Christina and I came back from our first major trip to Latin America, There was an incredible outpouring of help from people who help you daily. And there's no way in hell that you could, you know, pay everyone back or do something in return. So because my brother loved to travel and he loved kids. He didn't have kids, but he loved kids, and he loved to like goof around with them when he was traveling. So we're like, what can we do that would be educational but travel based? What we started back then was called the Sean Lawson Young Travelers Foundation, which is a bit of a mouthful. So what we do is we take kids from developing nations on extended Outdoor, Educationally based field trips where we take between 10 and 30 kids. We take teachers sometimes, principals, cooks, and bus drivers and take them off on an adventure and a road trip within their own country so they can see what it is like to travel and learn from travel. What travel does to your mind, your heart, and your soul. We've done three of them now. They're, they're always such a, like, mind-blowing success from, from the minds of these kids. Every kid has a, has a dream, right? Every kid should reserve the right to dream, have that dream, and be able to Dream. We just want to kind of fund and facilitate that and give them that spark to let 'em know that, you know, there is life beyond your village. And Mountain Life Media, you produce and publish a lot of content. How did that get started? I couldn't be more grateful for what that's provided to my life, just in general. But what we do, our whole motto and our tagline is connecting with people from all walks of life to the magic of the mountains. And mountain Life was started 20 years ago by my business partner Glenn Harris. It's been pretty cool to see what we've grown. We've been able to do this in the media landscape in Canada mainly. And, you know, in print, we've got a really successful formula in the sense that we have a regional model where we concentrate our entire distribution, editorial, stories, and photography into a hundred-kilometer region zone or radius. And it's free. It's been pretty cool to see what we've been able to do in the media landscape in Canada, mainly. We've grown, and we've prospered, and we've thrived, and we've gone through the ups and the downs and all that stuff. But Our mountain lifers, as we call 'em, the people that pick up mountain life every time, we're very lucky to have a 99% pickup rate. So because the magazine is free, we recycle any mags, and we just hold back 1% for marketing and mailouts and stuff like that. So, the demand is there, and it's always been there, and the demand has been there for 20 years. How about future Adventures? What exciting places are you going? The thing that was the biggest pain in the ass about this trip was the logistics. We had to ship our bikes from Vancouver to Dublin we actually shipped them on the plane, and that was pretty cool. It was expensive, but they were like right there when we arrived kind of thing. So then when we came back, our end point on this journey was Portugal and Lisbon. So, again, we had to go through that same nightmare. It's more expensive to ship things from Ireland to North America, so that was a more expensive bet. But they are almost in a container ship, and they'll be here in hopefully sometime in July. They take a long time. But as, yeah, so as for the next trip, we're like, well, we're never doing that again. The nice thing about being in North America is that you can point your wheels south and pretty much go as far as you want. Do you have any suggestions and/or advice for folks wanting to get into creative work? My motto in life is, go for it. So I would just say, look for an internship somewhere that you can be exposed to something every single day. The beautiful thing about photography and digital photography now is that you can shoot as much as you want. There's no like paying for film and developing like it was back in our day; it was like 20 bucks a roll or whatever. So you spend a lot of time editing behind the computer. I would just say find someone you want to mentor you and just like ask questions. Ask questions, ask as many questions as you can, and just act, just do. Just go out there and do it. If you were able to hang a huge banner at the front of one of the tradeshows, what would it say? Live it up. That's our mountain life tagline. Don't take life too seriously. Do what you wanna do. Do it well, share it with friends, and have a cold one after that. Do you have any daily routines you have to keep your sanity and health, like meditation, exercise, walking the dog, etc? It's my 20 20 20 routine in the morning. So I'll do 20 minutes of body weight exercises. Twenty minutes of yoga and 20 minutes of meditation. And then I also do 20 minutes of reading, so that happens before I even check my smartphone. I try to do that, it's not every day, but that's what I try. Like you said, that kind of keeps me focused, gets me ready and keeps me in shape, and keeps everything going. Do you have any favorite books or books you give as gifts? My favorite book of all time is called Jupiter's Travels. That's a book written by Ted Simon. He wasn't the first to ride his motorcycle around the world, but he was probably the first to write a really good, serious book on it. And that was a big motivation. In my life and, to continue on with these, these big motorcycle epics cuz he went around the world. What is your favorite outdoor gear purchase under $100? I have two. One of them is like a Stanley one-click mug. So you just click the button and drink hot, cold beverages. It's just like that thing has been with me for so many places. And the second one is a duct-tape-wrapped Bic lighter. If I'm going away on a trip with six guys, six people, or ten people or whatever, I'll buy 10 Bic lighters. And I'll pop 'em all in a bunch of duct tape. So that if you ever need duct tape, you can have it. And you also have the lighter, which also helps you not lose your lighter so much. Cause it's kinda got that grip on it, Is there anything else you want to say or ask of our audience? I would love your support in checking out my book, Inside the Belly of an Elephant.

November 17-19, 2022, thousands of people gathered for Facing Race: A National Conference, produced by Race Forward, to explore new and powerful ways to advance racial justice. It is, in a word, extraordinary in the way this conference offers advocates of all stripes to connect, to learn, and to love the work we all do, in our own ways, furthering the conversations of racial justice together.In the lead-up to the conference, we hosted our own forum with two very special people in our lives — and in the conference itself. What you're about to hear is a conversation with Glenn Harris, President of Race Forward and host of the Facing Race Conference, and Ashton Lattimore, editor-in-chief of Prism, a valued partner in this year's conference.This is a timely conversation, not just for its proximity to the conference itself, but for its resonance to the public discourse. We're in the run-up to another election in a contentious political environment. How do we find hope and possibility in the face of what we have lost through division and partisanship? How do we remember the value of speaking truth to power with love in the face of eroding rights in this country? How do we confront the disenfranchisement of public education and the inequality of our efforts in climate legislation with strength, compassion, and faith that people of good will, will do good things?We don't offer answers in this episode. But we hope that our efforts to showcase these voices and perspectives, voices of two people we believe offer good faith and goodwill in a marketplace of communication challenged by both, can give you a glimpse of how you might mount your own efforts for advocacy, and find a little hope in a brighter future, too.Our deepest thanks to Glenn Harris and Ashton Lattimore for joining us this week.

As we continue to work on centering equity in all that we do, and as the fight for racial justice and equity in the United States continues, we wanted to revisit a conversation we had last year about what equity in parks and recreation really means for today’s episode of the podcast. We were fortunate to have each one of the individuals you’ll hear from today on previous episodes of the podcast, and if you joined us at the 2020 NRPA Annual Conference: A Virtual Experience (NRPA Virtual) last October, you may have already heard this conversation — however, it’s never a bad time for a refresher on how we can build healthier, more equitable communities, and with Black History Month coming up in February, we thought it was a good time to reflect on this conversation. On today’s episode, we’re replaying our Coffee Talk, “Park Equity and Racial Justice” from NRPA Virtual, with Glenn Harris, president of Race Forward and last year’s NRPA Virtual keynote speaker, and Autumn Saxton-Ross, NRPA’s vice president of education and chief equity officer. We’ve already had the privilege of talking with Glenn on our October 2020 Bonus Episode, “Why Conversations About Racial Equity Matter for Parks and Recreation,” and Autumn on episode 76, “How to Center Equity in All That We Do” — and for this Coffee Talk, we were thrilled for them to come together to have a very powerful, insightful conversation. Tune in below to hear Autumn and Glenn’s full conversation from their Coffee Talk at NRPA Virtual and learn: What equity in parks and recreation looks like in practice. How park and recreation professionals can work towards meaningful change in forming a more just and equitable world. How we can take an objective look at the history of our parks and open spaces and apply that to creating a more equitable future. How a park and recreation department can create a framework like Race Forward’s that supports implementing racial equity. How park and recreation professionals can ensure racial equity is addressed in their agency’s master plans, and more!
In the aftermath of a nail-biting 2020 Presidential Election, Hiba and Chevon host their first (virtual) live show joined by our Facing Race audience! (recorded via the Hopin platform) Chevon and Hiba lift up the wins driven by Black women and BIPOC communities that were seen and felt across the nation and were instrumental to President-elect Biden and Vice President-elect Harris’ win. From Georgia flipping blue because of massive voter registration efforts to Arizona organizers’ unrelenting work, our hosts discuss how it all collectively came to fruition. Marc Morial, President of the National Urban League, joins Momentum to talk about the energy surrounding the presidential win, the recent lawsuit filed against President Trump’s Executive Order on Combating Race and Sex Stereotyping, which Marc refers to as a “manifesto on white supremacy” and how the new #TruthBeTold campaign is being used to fight back. Marc also talks about the Lost Cause movement from the 1800’s and its ties to censorship today, and why strategic partnerships/coalition building is so important to combat such efforts, such as the emerging partnerships with the NBA, NFL, and the NHL. Race Forward President Glenn Harris makes a special appearance to talk about Race Forward’s #BannedWords campaign, which also addresses the impacts of Executive Order 13950, the priorities the incoming Biden/Harris administration will need to take to reverse the damage from the outgoing administration, and how Momentum has become instrumental during this time in promoting voices and ongoing work from the racial justice movement. Thank you to everyone that helped make Facing Race 2020: A National Virtual Conference a success! Stay tuned for our bonus mid-season finale which will feature highlights from Hiba and Chevon having moderated the “Culture In the Time of the Uprisings” plenary, next time!

With NRPA’s 2021-2023 Strategic Plan, we made a commitment to centering equity in all that we do. And we talked about this with our president and CEO, Kristine Stratton, on episode 70. The vital importance of focusing on equity has been put into the spotlight, as this year has underscored the many systemic inequities that exist in our world. Whether through the lens of public health, criminal justice, climate change or who has safe, reliable access to a park in their community, equity is essential. And because it is so essential, NRPA established a leadership role central to this work and our efforts as an organization, and we’re so glad our guest today is officially part of the team. Autumn Saxton-Ross joined NRPA as the vice president of education and chief equity officer in early September of this year. She is a true park and rec kid, and before coming on board at NRPA, she served as the mid-Atlantic regional director and equity, inclusion and diversity lead for NatureBridge, the largest residential environmental education partner of the National Park Service. Autumn’s role at NRPA will increase our capacity and enable us to partner more holistically across the field, promote and scale up equity-centered practices, and ensure that our member engagement and educational programs are aligned and support our park and recreation professionals. Tune in to the full episode below to learn more about Autumn and her vision for NRPA and the field of parks and recreation, as well as: How her past experience working with park and recreation professionals will help in this role. What plans she has for park and recreation professionals who want to share information and support for others in the field who want to start addressing equity, inclusion and diversity issues. How she plans to advance conversations that can lead to agencies implementing practices and policies that are centered in equity. What NRPA Virtual attendees can look forward to in her Coffee Talk conversation with NRPA Virtual keynote speaker, Glenn Harris, on the evening of October 27 at 5:45 p.m. EDT, and more!
On this month’s bonus episode of Open Space Radio, we’re diving deeper into the cover story of the October issue of Parks & Recreation magazine, “Glenn Harris: An Advocate for Racial Equity and Social Justice.” In the article, NRPA’s executive editor, Vitisia Paynich, interviewed our keynote speaker for the 2020 NRPA Annual Conference: A Virtual Experience, Glenn Harris. Glenn is the president of Race Forward, a national nonprofit racial justice organization based in New York and Oakland, California, and publisher of Colorlines, a daily news site where race matters. Race Forward works to bring a systemic analysis and innovative approach to complex race issues that help people take action toward racial justice and true equity. We’re thrilled to be joined by Glenn on the show today to talk about his extensive experience working on racial and social justice issues and hope this conversation leaves you not only excited about his keynote presentation in October, but also inspired to have conversations about how park and recreation professionals can advance equitable practices in your own communities. On October 27, 2020, Glenn will speak during the Opening General Session at NRPA Virtual, but for now, tune in below to learn more about him, as well as: How COVID-19, natural disasters, economic turmoil and the massive social justice and civil rights movement happening right now are impacting Race Forward’s work. How people can embrace struggle and find healthy ways to not only deal with that struggle, but also work towards meaningful change. How to differentiate between diversity, equity and inclusion How Race Forward’s framework supports implementing racial equity How park and recreation professionals can have tough conversations and help build racial equity in their communities. What NRPA virtual attendees can anticipate taking away from his highly anticipated keynote presentation in October, and more!
Glenn Harris, President of Race Forward and Publisher of Colorlines, joins Hiba and Chevon for a timely conversation on “the moment” our nation is facing, and the disproportionate impacts COVID-19 has had on communities of color. Race Forward responded swiftly to the crisis, and they discuss the work being undertaken within the racial justice movement to safeguard our democracy in another tumultuous election year. We also include audio from last week’s Building a Movement: A Virtual Town Hall with Minneapolis Organizers, a powerful online event where we heard directly from long-time activists building a movement to end police violence and systemic racism in our communities. In recognition of Juneteeth, Chevon and Hiba discuss their personal efforts to learn and engage with the spirit of the holiday, and talk about the recent landmark Supreme Court Title VII ruling, which prohibits employment discrimination against LGBTQ people. –– Resources (by order of mention) The Time For Reparations Is Now [Op-Ed] by Yirssi Bergman, Shweta Moorthy, and Juell Stewart (via Colorlines)www.colorlines.com/articles/time-reparations-now-op-ed SCOTUS Says: The 1964 Civil Rights Act Protects LGBTQ+ People, Too (via Colorlines) www.colorlines.com/articles/scotus-says-1964-civil-rights-act-protects-lgbtq-people-too Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley on Ending “Qualified Immunity”www.twitter.com/RepPressley/status/1272575869400371200?s=20 Laverne Cox on the SCOTUS Title VII Ruling Prohibiting LGBTQ Employment Discriminationwww.twitter.com/AlexPattyy/status/1272567736707801091?s=20 Building a Movement: A Virtual Town Hall with Minneapolis Organizers (hosted by Race Forward)www.facebook.com/RaceForward/videos/209147303485329 Angela Davis Talks 'Orange is the New Black,' Prison Abolition (via Colorlines)www.colorlines.com/articles/angela-davis-talks-orange-new-black-prison-abolition Glenn Harris, President of Race Forward and Publisher of Colorlineswww.raceforward.org/about/staff/glenn-harris “What is systemic racism?

Dr. Glenn Harris talks about the benefits and challenges of implementing rapid media analysis in process development, including the bottleneck created by outsourcing samples to core labs. We also discussed an easy to implement, benchtop media analyzer that permits comprehensive media analysis in real-time, thus speeding process development efforts.
This week, we sat down with a dear friend of mine named Glenn Harris as he shared his testimony on coming to know Jesus after being raised in a secular Jewish family, and later dabbling in New Age and occult teachings until the Holy Spirit revealed the Truth of Jesus to him. Glenn is now a Messianic Jew, or a Jew who believes Jesus is the Messiah, and serves as an Associate Rabbi at Congregation Shema Yisrael in Bloomfield, Michigan. He lives out his testimony in fulfillment of Paul's words in Romans 1:16, "I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Jesus, for it is the power unto salvation; for the Jew first, and then the Gentile." Glenn's testimony is evidence that the Word of God is living and active and can cut to our very heart and soul to transform our lives (Hebrews 4:12).

We are constantly and fundamentally surrounded by racism in how our systems and public institutions have been structured and operate that it can be easy to not see it. To effectively revitalize a neighborhood, we need to look through a structural lens at our political, economic, social, and cultural history in order to fully understand the meaning of racism in America and how to address it in our institutions. Glenn Harris, president of Race Forward, led a session about racial equity in 2015 at the Purpose Built Communities annual conference in Fort Worth, Texas.

Join Host Timber Tucker as he talks with his guest Glenn Harris about canines in the workplace, being involved in the Bloomington Boys and Girls Club and what it takes to work at Harris Services. About Glenn Harris: Glenn Harris has been in the cleaning and restoration industry of over 27 years. He became passionate for customer service and watching his employees grow individually and in their talents and abilities. Married for 31 years Glenn has 2 kids Josh (27) and Ashley (22). He’s seen Josh develop into an amazing teacher. Ashley is finishing up college and will pursue a career in event planning. Glenn’s wife Beth stayed home with the kids and helped with the business until the kids went to school. She then worked at their school as an inclusion teacher for many years before coming on full time to Harris Services in 2006. Not going to college Glenn found that he had a deep Entrepreneurial type vision by taking on greater than normal financial risks to operate and grow a successful business. In 1995 he started Harris Carpet and Upholstery Cleaning. Two years later he sold it to a larger cleaning and restoration company. After 10 years of helping that company grow 3 locations with over 50 employees he separated and started Harris Services. Continuing with his passion for customer service and his employee’s individual growth he has seen Harris Services grow over the years to over 30 employees and a solid service provider in the Bloomington and surrounding area. Over the years Glenn has found that he has a great desire to see people reach their goals and achieve success they never thought possible with in themselves. He has been on many Board of Directors throughout his career but has found sitting on the Boys and Girls Club of Bloomington to be the most fulfilling. In his spare time Glenn loves to spend time with his wife and family and his 2 Golden Retrievers Judd and Zoey. http://www.callharrisservices.com
