Richard McGirr interviews Mike Zlotnik, announcing a strategic shift toward more solo, educational monologue episodes while remaining highly selective about guest interviews. Richard explains why his deep-dive capital raising content has resonated with listeners and how it's sharpened his own thinking as a fund manager and marketer. He then introduces Mike Zlotnik as a long-time fund-of-funds investor and capital partner who has been active since 2009. The conversation reframes the value of fund-of-funds investing, moving beyond improved economics to focus on control rights, deal intervention, and protecting LPs when investments go sideways. This episode dives into advanced, 201–301 level insights on how experienced capital partners can materially improve outcomes for investors.

John Chang gives listeners a wide-ranging outlook on the 2026 commercial real estate landscape, drawing from recent industry webcasts, capital market data, and his upcoming conversations with investors at NMHC. He explains why rising cap rates and falling borrowing costs have reset real estate returns to some of the most attractive levels seen in over a decade, even as broader economic uncertainty grows. John breaks down how slowing job creation, shifting migration patterns, and heavy Sunbelt development are creating near-term pressure for multifamily—especially Class B and C assets—while lower-development markets continue to show resilience. He also explores why institutional capital is quietly flowing back into commercial real estate, what gold prices may be signaling about investor sentiment, and where he sees risks and opportunities across multifamily, retail, office, industrial, and self-storage heading into 2026.

John Casmon interviews Dusten Hendrickson about why he believes development can be less risky than acquisitions when executed with discipline, repetition, and a long-term mindset. Dusten explains how creating value at the ground-up stage provides more margin to weather interest rate shifts and market cycles, especially compared to buying stabilized assets at peak pricing. He breaks down why “cool” trophy projects often underperform, how his team focuses on scalable workforce housing, and the operational efficiencies that drive stronger cash flow and durability. The episode offers a detailed look at development strategy, vertical integration, and why boring, repeatable projects often outperform flashy builds over time.

Matt interviews Tim Bratz, breaking down why Tim has challenged “traditional” syndication norms—especially fee-heavy structures and LP/GP splits that can leave operators with too little skin in the game. Tim shares how his equity/preferred return approach evolved from his single-family/private money background, and how tighter cash flow post-pandemic has pushed him toward more creative capital stacks (assumable debt, seller carry, accrued pref, and depreciation levers). He also digs into why third-party property management misaligns incentives, why in-house management is a key common denominator among operators who aren't struggling right now, and how he's building an AI-powered, all-in-one property management platform to unify ops + accounting + payments + reporting.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for January 23, 2026 is: astrolabe A-struh-layb noun An astrolabe is a compact instrument used to observe and calculate the position of celestial bodies before the invention of the sextant. // The new astronomy exhibit featured various gadgets and instruments, including an extensive collection of astrolabes. See the entry > Examples: “‘Renaissance Treasures' includes two contemporary navigational devices, a planispheric astrolabe from Persia and a pocket compass (think of them as beta-version GPS), as well as two Mercator globes. One dates from 1541 and shows the surface of the Earth. The other dates from 1551 and shows the heavens ...” — Mark Feeney, The Boston Globe, 9 May 2025 Did you know? “Thyn Astrolabie hath a ring to putten on the thombe of thi right hond in taking the height of thinges.” Thus begins a description of an astrolabe in A Treatise on the Astrolabe, a medieval user's guide penned by an amateur astronomer by the name of Geoffrey Chaucer. Chaucer is best known for his Middle English poetic masterpiece The Canterbury Tales, but when his nose wasn't buried in his writing, Chaucer was stargazing, and some of his passion for the heavens rubbed off on his son Lewis, who had displayed a special “abilite to lerne sciences touching nombres and proporciouns.” Chaucer dedicated his treatise to the 10-year-old boy, setting his instructions not in the usual Latin, but in “naked wordes in Englissh” so that little Lewis could understand. When he got older, Lewis may have learned that the word astrolabe traces to the Late Greek name for the instrument, astrolábion.

La brújula es uno de los inventos más importantes de la historia. Aunque hoy nos parece algo simple frente a tecnologías como la del GPS, su capacidad para señalar una dirección fija revolucionó la navegación, la exploración y el comercio. Su funcionamiento es sencillo, se basa en el magnetismo. Desde antiguo se observó que ciertos metales como la magnetita atraía a otros generando un campo magnético propio. Tanto en Grecia como en China lo descubrieron en torno al siglo V a.C, pero fue en China donde a este fenómeno físico empezaron a darle un uso religioso que pronto se tornó en ciertos usos prácticos. Los antiguos chinos hacían flotar agujas en cuencos llenos de agua o las colgaban de hilos de seda. Servían tanto para saber como alinear correctamente un palacio como para que los viajeros y los navegantes las utilizasen. En la alta edad media estas primeras brújulas chinas ya se habían convertido en un artilugio muy utilizado. A Europa llegaron más tarde. En el mundo clásico para orientarse se valían del sol o de la posición de ciertas estrellas. También empleaban los vientos predominantes que en la cuenca mediterránea siempre soplan en la misma dirección. En las grandes ciudades había torres de los vientos que señalaban cada uno de ellos y eso permitía orientarse correctamente. Ya en el siglo IX Carlomagno redujo los puntos cardinales a cuatro, los cuatro que hoy conocemos con nombres de raíces indoeuropeas: norte, sur, este y oeste, pero siempre relacionados con el sol. La brújula llegó siglos después por la ruta de la seda o quizá por el mar Rojo, seguramente a bordo de navíos persas o caravanas árabes. Las primeras menciones europeas datan del siglo XII. Los europeos la adoptaron rápidamente en versión seca, es decir, la aguja imantada sobre un pivote dentro de una cajita. De ahí viene nuestro brújula, del italiano “bussola”, que significa cajita. A los europeos les fascinó el invento. En 1269 Petrus Peregrinus escribió "De Magnete", el primer estudio sistemático sobre el magnetismo. Luego llegaron los mapas portulanos que incorporaban una rosa de los vientos que llegó a tener hasta 32 direcciones y que permitía una navegación mucho más precisa. La brújula facilitó la expansión europea tardomedieval y permitió a portugueses y españoles aventurarse en el océano Atlántico. Fue en estos viajes cuando los navegantes europeos advirtieron que la brújula no señalaba al norte propiamente dicho, sino a un norte magnético que está ligeramente desviado. Eso les obligó durante siglos a hacer ajustes para las grandes travesías oceánicas compensando la declinación, es decir, la diferencia entre el norte verdadero y el magnético. Ya en el siglo XVII descubrieron la razón: la Tierra es un imán gigantesco porque tiene un núcleo de hierro fundido en constante movimiento. En el siglo XIX los barcos con cascos de hierro crearon un problema añadido ya que el metal del barco afectaba a la brújula. Eso llevó al desarrollo de brújulas compensadas con correctores magnéticos. El siglo XX trajo nuevas mejoras e inventos como el girocompás sobre un giroscopio que resultaría imprescindible para la navegación aérea y submarina. Hoy las brújulas son digitales y todos llevamos una en el bolsillo dentro de nuestro teléfono, pero funcionan con el mismo principio y también las mismas limitaciones. Sigue siendo útil para senderistas, para marinos y, sobre todo, como metáfora.

Today on Black Dragon Biker TV, we're covering a wide range of developing stories that highlight just how broad the biker world really is — from indictments and court cases to awareness, accountability, and prevention.We begin in Canada, where Hells Angels clubhouse owners in Surrey are pushing back against allegations of illegal activity. The B.C. government is seeking to seize a property allegedly linked to criminal enterprise, while the owner insists they knew nothing of any wrongdoing. We'll talk about civil forfeiture, burden of proof, and how these cases are increasingly being handled.Next, we head stateside.A violent daytime melee on Sunrise Highway in Suffolk County involving Pagans MC and Hells Angels has left multiple victims with life-threatening injuries. Prosecutors say five men used weapons during the clash, and those men have now been indicted. We'll discuss what's been reported, what charges mean, and how public incidents change the legal landscape.From there, we shift continents.A deadly Chinese manjha (glass-coated kite string) incident caught on camera in Varanasi, India, shows a biker narrowly escaping death when the string catches his neck, leaving a severe shoulder injury. We'll talk about the dangers of manjha, why it continues to be a threat, and what riders worldwide should know.We'll also highlight a positive development:Bikers Against Predators strikes again. An Indiana group's investigation has led to the arrest of a Baxter County man charged with sexual solicitation of minors. We'll discuss how these groups operate, why they're controversial to some, and why they continue to get results.And finally, a reminder that danger isn't always criminal:A navigation app led a biker straight into a 15-foot open well, raising serious questions about over-reliance on GPS and rider awareness.No hype.No sugarcoating.Just real conversation.This is one of those shows where:• Indictments get unpacked• Enforcement tactics get examined• Safety issues get highlighted• And the set talks to the set Call in.

Good movement has rhythm.Day 23 focuses on proprioceptive rhythm — the body's ability to sense position, timing, and movement in space, then respond smoothly and efficiently.Proprioception is your internal GPS. Rhythm is how that information gets expressed through movement. When both are dialled in, movement feels effortless, coordinated, and controlled. When they're off, everything feels clunky, rushed, or disconnected.This session is about refining that connection.You'll work through patterns that develop:Awareness of joint position and body orientationTiming and sequencing between limbs and trunkSmooth transitions between acceleration and controlThe ability to move with flow rather than forceProprioceptive rhythm improves balance, coordination, and adaptability. It allows you to react instead of think, adjust instead of brace, and stay organised when conditions change.This day also reinforces an important idea: not all progress comes from pushing harder. Sometimes it comes from moving better — with more awareness, better timing, and less unnecessary tension.Expect movements that feel subtle but revealing. Small changes in tempo, direction, or load will expose how well the system is communicating.Feel the position.Find the rhythm.Move with precision.Day 23 sharpens awareness and flow — essential skills for durable performance.Shaun Kober is a Mindset & Performance Specialist, with a unique skillset forged in the trenches, through the various stages of life."I shouldn't be in the position I am right now."

Pascal Wagner interviews Tony Davidow to unpack how institutional investors are thinking about private markets heading into 2026. Tony explains why recent headlines around private credit defaults are often misunderstood, breaking down the difference between CLOs, direct lending, and commercial real estate debt—and why he sees CRE debt, asset-based finance, and secondaries as early-cycle opportunities. The discussion dives into illiquidity as a feature (not a flaw), how institutions size long-term “patient capital,” and why diversified private market funds often outperform single-deal investing over time. Tony also shares his highest-conviction themes for 2026, including secondaries, industrial and multifamily real estate, and infrastructure tied to reshoring, digitization, and demographic shifts.

Has duck migration stopped making sense--or has it just stopped matching our assumptions? Dr. Bradley Cohen returns to break down what the latest-greatest GPS data, field observations and long-term research reveals about migrational timing, pre- and post-winter equinox movement, hunting pressure, planted food sources, sanctuary, and shifting waterfowl distribution. We dig deep into what hunters may misunderstand about weather, how pressure/disturbance really affects ducks, what refuges actually do in today's changing landscape, and how USFWS staffing and budget cuts may be reshaping waterfowl migration and distribution. The Number One thing that puts ducks on your tote? Yeah, that too.
From Corporate to Founder: Aya Kikimova on Fortune 500 Marketing, Small Business ROI, and Building Leap Engine Without FundingIn this episode of Uncomplicated, I sit down with Aya Kikimova, Founder of Leap Engine and former Microsoft marketing leader, to unpack what it really takes to leave “golden shackles,” build a business from referrals, and deliver growth that's rooted in data, margins, and real ROI, not hype.Born in Kazakhstan and arriving in the U.S. at 16 with no computer skills, Aya built her way to an MBA and a powerhouse corporate career. In 2021, she walked away from corporate life as a new mom and launched Leap Engine in the middle of the pandemic, no outside funding, no safety net, just skill, resilience, and a mission to make high-level marketing accessible to small businesses.Today, Leap Engine has generated $100M+ in revenue for 100+ clients, proving that small businesses can get Fortune 500 strategy without paying Fortune 500 prices.We cover:Aya's journey from Kazakhstan to the U.S. at 16 and how she rebuilt from zeroHow she broke into Microsoft and earned recognition in the top 0.01%What $50M/year in ad spend teaches you about accountability, testing, and ROIThe “golden shackles” moment: leaving corporate as a new mom with no fundingHow Leap Engine grew through referrals and why Aya didn't plan to start an agencyThe difference between enterprise strategy and what actually works for small businessesAya's GPS audit (Growth / Profit / Sales) and the numbers founders must knowWhen marketing isn't the answer yet (and why Aya turns businesses down)The role of social proof, conversion paths, and clean digital foundationsAI in marketing: why it's exciting, but not “set it and forget it”The myth Aya wants to bust forever: “Guaranteed results”Key Takeaways:Small business marketing fails when the math doesn't work not because “marketing doesn't work.”Strong growth starts with LTV, margins, and conversion paths before scaling spend.Data-driven testing beats guesswork especially with limited budgets.AI can enhance execution, but strategy still needs humans.Sustainable growth comes from clarity, not shiny tactics or promises.This is a grounded, tactical episode for founders who want to spend smarter, build stronger foundations, and grow in a way that actually supports their life not just their revenue.
In this episode of Tank Talks, Matt Cohen sits down with Timothy Chen, the sole General Partner at Essence VC. Tim shares his remarkable journey from being a “nerdy, geeky kid” who hacked open-source projects to becoming one of the most respected early-stage infrastructure investors, backing breakout companies like Tabular (acquired by Databricks for $2.2 billion). A former engineer at Microsoft and VMware, co-founder of Hyperpilot (acquired by Cloudera), and now a solo GP who quietly raised over $41 million for his latest fund, Tim offers a unique, no-BS perspective on spotting technical founders, navigating the idea maze, and rethinking sales and traction in the world of AI and infrastructure.We dive deep into his unconventional path into VC, rejected by traditional Sand Hill Road firms, only to build a powerhouse reputation through sheer technical credibility and founder empathy. Tim reveals the patterns behind disruptive infra companies, why most VCs can't help with product-market fit, and how he leverages his engineering background to win competitive deals.Whether you're a founder building the next foundational layer or an investor trying to understand the infra and AI boom, this conversation is packed with hard-won insights.The Open Source Resume (00:03:44)* How contributing to Apache projects (Drill, Cloud Foundry) built his career when a CS degree couldn't.* The moment he realized open source was a path to industry influence, not just a hobby.* Why the open source model is more “vertical than horizontal”, allowing deep contribution without corporate red tape.From Engineer to Founder: The Hyperpilot Journey (00:13:24)* Leaving Docker to start Hyperpilot and raising seed funding from NEA and Bessemer.* The harsh reality of founder responsibility: “It's not about the effort hard, it's about all the other things that has to go right.”* Learning from being “way too early to market” and the acquisition by Cloudera.The Unlikely Path into Venture Capital (00:26:07)* Rejected by top-tier VC firms for a job, then prompted to start his own fund via AngelList.* Starting with a $1M “Tim Chen Angel Fund” focused solely on infrastructure.* How Bain Capital's small anchor investment gave him the initial credibility.Building a Brand Through Focus & Reputation (00:30:42)* Why focusing exclusively on infrastructure was his “best blessing” creating a standout identity in a sparse field.* The reputation flywheel: Founders praising his help led to introductions from top-tier GPs and LPs.* StepStone reaching out for a commitment before he even had fund documents ready.The Essence VC Investment Philosophy (00:44:34)* Pattern Recognition: What he learned from witnessing the early days of Confluent, Databricks, and Docker.* Seeking Disruptors, Not Incrementalists: Backing founders who have a “non-common belief” that leads to a 10x better product (e.g., Modal Labs, Cursor, Warp).* Rethinking Sales & Traction: Why revenue-first playbooks don't apply in early-stage infra; comfort comes from technical co-building and roadmap planning.* The “Superpower”: Using his engineering background to pressure-test technical assumptions and timelines with founders.The Future of Infra & AI (00:52:09)* Infrastructure as an “enabler” for new application paradigms (real-time video, multimodal apps).* The coming democratization of building complex systems (the “next Netflix” built by smaller teams).* The shift from generalist backend engineers to specialists, enabled by new stacks and AI.Solo GP Life & Staying Relevant (00:54:55)* Why being a solo GP doesn't mean being a lone wolf; 20-30% of his time is spent syncing with other investors to learn.* The importance of continuous learning and adaptation in a fast-moving tech landscape.* His toolkit: Using portfolio company Clerky (a CRM) to manage workflow.About Timothy ChenFounder and Sole General Partner, Essence VCTimothy Chen is the Sole General Partner at Essence VC, a fund focused on early-stage infrastructure, AI, and open-source innovation. A three-time founder with an exit, his journey from Microsoft engineer to sought-after investor is a masterclass in building credibility through technical depth and founder-centric support. He has backed companies like Tabular, Iteratively, and Warp, and his insights are shaped by hundreds of conversations at the bleeding edge of infrastructure.Connect with Timothy Chen on LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/timchenVisit the Essence VC Website: https://www.essencevc.fund/Connect with Matt Cohen on LinkedIn: https://ca.linkedin.com/in/matt-cohen1Visit the Ripple Ventures website: https://www.rippleventures.com/ This is a public episode.

Discover why GPS accuracy for blind navigation is still a challenge, how AI-powered smart glasses like Meta Ray-Bans can help with daily tasks, and why libraries and fudge recipes unexpectedly steal the show. In this lively listener-driven episode, Steven Scott and Shaun Preece dig into your emails, starting with “Negative Julian” highlighting the frustrations of GPS inaccuracy for blind users. The discussion explores mapping data errors, smartphone limitations, and the potential of combining GPS, AI, and camera technology to solve the “last 10 yards” problem of finding doors and precise locations. They also field questions about Meta Ray-Ban smart glasses, including reading handwritten text, discreet audio features, and real-world use for navigation and object identification. The conversation expands into inclusive advertising, disability representation in media, and why talent—not tokenism—matters. In a lighter turn, Jane shares a no-cook fudge recipe and sparks a heartfelt chat about accessible baking, libraries, and the nostalgia of audiobooks on cassette.

Steve Blair is the Senior Privacy and Security Test Program Leader at Consumer Reports, where he evaluates connected devices and digital products to uncover privacy and security risks. With a background spanning early internet technology, mobile hardware, and product security, he helps consumers better understand how their data is collected, used, and protected, especially in emerging technologies designed for families and children. In this episode… Connected devices designed for kids play a growing role in how families stay connected and informed. GPS trackers, smartwatches, and other apps and tools often promise safety and convenience, yet they also raise questions about how children's data is collected, used, stored, and protected. The challenge is not whether these tools function as intended, but how they handle personal information once they are in use. How can parents gain confidence in the technology their children use every day while avoiding privacy and security risks? A practical starting point is to read privacy notices and product descriptions, then examine how devices and apps behave in practice. Reviewing default settings, questioning app permissions, and noting how easy privacy controls are to find can help parents manage risk and better understand how a company collects and handles kids' data. These considerations become especially important when children are required to use certain apps or connected devices to participate in school activities or other events. In this episode of She Said Privacy/He Said Security, Jodi and Justin Daniels talk with Steve Blair, Senior Privacy and Security Test Program Leader at Consumer Reports, about privacy and security risks in kids' GPS trackers, wearables, and apps. Steve explains what Consumer Reports found when testing GPS trackers and wearables designed for children, and how hands-on testing helps parents better understand device privacy controls. He shares practical ways parents can assess app privacy and security protections, even without deep technical expertise. And Steve also shares practical privacy and security tips parents can use every day, like keeping devices updated, removing apps when they are no longer needed, and requesting data deletion when app use ends.
Amanda Cruise and Ash Patel interview Darren Smith to explore why industrial real estate became his long-term focus after years in residential investing. Darren shares how flipping and wholesaling hundreds of homes pushed him toward simpler, scalable assets, and why warehouses—with fewer tenants, stronger cash flow, and less operational friction—fit his personality better than multifamily. He breaks down how he finds off-market industrial deals, uses relationship-driven seller financing, and adds value through demising space, rent resets, and creative lease structures like fixed CAM. The conversation also covers real-world headaches, leverage discipline, and why patience and downside stress-testing are critical in today's commercial market.

Amid ongoing discussions about the U.S.-Israel alliance, including recent commentary referencing questions raised by media personality Tucker Carlson about the benefits the United States derives from its relationship with Israel, a new interview highlights the extensive technological and humanitarian contributions Israel provides. Gedaliah Blum, Director of The Heartland Initiative in Israel, sat down for an interview with Alan Skorski. In a social media post on December 22, 2025, Blum addressed Carlson's recurring question — “What exactly does the United States get from Israel?” — by quickly listing more than 25 Israeli innovations that directly benefit the U.S. and its allies. These include advancements in aviation safety, missile defense systems protecting American bases, IED detection technology safeguarding U.S. soldiers in combat zones, battlefield medicine now standard in American emergency rooms, and enhanced airport security protocols used worldwide. During the conversation, Skorski expanded on this list, emphasizing Israel's role as a hub of innovation despite its small size and challenging security environment. Israel has pioneered several key technologies widely adopted in the U.S. and globally: The USB flash drive (originally known as Disk-on-Key), revolutionizing portable data storage. Waze, the real-time GPS navigation app acquired by Google and used by millions for traffic updates and efficient routing. Mobileye, providing advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) that enhance vehicle safety and serve as a foundation for autonomous driving technologies. ICQ, one of the earliest popular instant messaging platforms. Significant contributions to Intel processors through R&D by Israeli teams. Medical & Health Innovations Israeli developments have transformed diagnostics and treatment: PillCam (from Given Imaging), a swallowable camera capsule enabling non-invasive internal imaging for gastrointestinal diagnostics. Babysense infant breathing monitors for enhanced child safety. ReWalk bionic exoskeletons assisting individuals with lower-limb paralysis to regain mobility. Agriculture, Water & Other Fields In agriculture and resource management, Israel leads with drip irrigation systems from Netafim, which optimize water use in arid regions; the development of longer-lasting, sweeter cherry tomatoes; and advanced water desalination and purification technologies. Defense & Security Contributions Defense innovations include the Iron Dome missile defense system, advanced UAVs (drones), and cutting-edge cybersecurity solutions that bolster U.S. national security interests. These advancements “barely scratch the surface” of the mutual benefits in the U.S.-Israel partnership, Skorski noted, with many technologies co-developed or shared through joint efforts. Humanitarian Leadership Exemplified in Haiti Beyond technology, Israel's contributions extend to global humanitarian aid. A prominent example is the rapid response to the devastating January 2010 earthquake in Haiti. As detailed in a 2010 report in the New England Journal of Medicine, within 48 hours of the quake striking Port-au-Prince, Israel deployed a 230-person military task force — including 109 support and rescue personnel from the IDF Home Front Command and 121 medical staff from the IDF Medical Corps Field Hospital. The team arrived 15 hours after departing Tel Aviv and immediately began operations. In just 10 days, the field hospital treated over 1,100 patients. 16 babies were delivered in the hospital. IDF search and rescue forces assisted in rescuing or aiding 4 individuals. The swift deployment and high-impact care underscored Israel's commitment to international disaster relief, often arriving among the first responders in crises worldwide. -VIN News Alan Skorski Reports 21JAN2026 - PODCAST
People keep saying gravel is dead — not because it disappeared, but because it changed. In this video, Anthony sits down with pro gravel racer Nathan Haas for an honest conversation about how gravel racing became faster, more professional, and more competitive than ever, and how that evolution may have stripped away some of what made it special in the first place. This isn't about blame or nostalgia for the “good old days,” but about understanding what actually happened as gravel grew from a loose, community-driven scene into a serious racing discipline.Go to https://www.skool.com/roadman/about to sign up to our FREE community!

In this episode, recorded in the rugged beauty of West Texas, Larry Weishuhn is joined by a true icon of the outdoor industry: Fred Eichler. Known for his boundless energy and his show Everything Eichler, Fred sits down at the campfire to discuss the evolution of hunting, from traditional archery to the rise of technology. The two legends swap compliments and stories, discussing the art of getting close to game—whether with a recurve bow or a handgun—and the vital importance of "woodsmanship" in the modern era. The conversation concludes with a strong message about unity among hunters, the importance of firearms safety education, and the necessity of the NRA. [00:00] Intro & Sponsors: Larry welcomes listeners back to camp in West Texas. [01:15] Legends Collide: Fred and Larry discuss their mutual respect. Fred shares how Larry's writing and TV presence influenced him growing up, viewing Larry as the "Whitetail Guru." [03:30] The Evolution of a Hunter: Fred talks about starting with shotguns and .22s under his father's guidance before gravitating toward bowhunting for the challenge. [05:45] Handguns vs. Bows: A comparison of short-range hunting methods. Fred expresses his admiration for Larry's proficiency with a handgun, noting that it requires the same stalking skills as archery. [08:00] Woodsmanship: Larry laments the shift from relying on instinct ("what's between the ears") to relying on technology ("fingertips"), and the importance of knowing how to navigate the wild without GPS. [12:20] The Africa Connection: How Larry inspired Fred's dreams of hunting Africa. They share a laugh about the "weird stuff" they've eaten in bush camps, from snakes to "little dickey birds." [14:45] The Second Amendment: A serious look at the role of the NRA. Fred emphasizes that the NRA is the most significant organization protecting gun rights and stresses the importance of safety education for children. [18:00] Unity in the Field: The need for all gun owners—whether they hunt with bows, rifles, or handguns—to belong to the NRA to protect the future of the lifestyle. "I hate to say 'growing up,' but watching you handle yourself on TV, your articles, your books... you backed it with knowledge." — Fred Eichler to Larry Weishuhn "Years ago, we took what you had between this ear and this ear, and that's what you used. Now... we've put it at fingertips. Somewhere down the way, those buttons are not going to work." — Larry Weishuhn on modern technology vs. woodsmanship "A firearm has never hurt anybody... until it gets into somebody's hands and they determine what they're going to do with it." — Fred Eichler "The finest people in the world are out there, those who love the outdoors." — Larry Weishuhn This episode is brought to you by: DSC (Dallas Safari Club): Conservation, Education, and Advocacy.

Seth Bradley interviews Sam Silverman to break down fund-of-funds economics, common misconceptions, and why this structure has become a critical part of modern capital raising. Sam explains how fund-of-funds models create cleaner, more compliant alignment between sponsors, fund managers, and passive investors—without automatically eroding returns. The conversation walks through how margins are actually created, why share classes and underwriting decisions matter earlier than most sponsors realize, and how fund managers can structure compensation sustainably. Sam also shares practical guidance on when fund-of-funds make sense, how to explain layered economics to investors, and why long-term alignment matters more than short-term fee optimization.

We all need direction in our lives. Unfortunately, you can't buy a GPS for that. But Jesus says that He is the Way, if we're willing to follow Him. Charles Tapp shares his message, Jesus: The Way the Truth and The Life.
Staying on budget doesn't have to be complicated—or exhausting. A growing number of families are discovering that a simple, five-minute weekly check-in can make the difference between feeling reactive and feeling in control. On today's episode of Faith and Finance, Crystal Payne joins us to offer a practical rhythm for keeping your spending aligned with your priorities. Crystal is the founder of MoneySavingMom.com and the author of several bestselling books on frugal living and family budgeting. She writes extensively on financial stewardship in the latest issue of Faithful Steward magazine.Crystal's approach centers on six weekly questions—each one designed to build awareness, reduce stress, and encourage intentionality rather than guilt or perfectionism.1. What worked this week? Begin with the wins. Identifying progress reinforces good habits and motivates continued change.2. What didn't work this week? Honesty about drift or weak spots brings clarity. Patterns often emerge in categories such as dining out or impulse purchases. The goal isn't shame—it's information.3. What do I want to change? Awareness should lead to one small, actionable adjustment for the week ahead—rebalancing a category, revising expectations, or improving tracking.4. What surprised me? Looking for unexpected expenses, higher bills, or forgotten credits helps reduce future anxiety and highlights planning opportunities.5. Was I over budget anywhere? Overages aren't failures; they show where reality differs from assumptions. This is where Crystal recommends treating your budget like a GPS—when life takes a detour, simply recalculate.6. Any “aha” moments? These reflect where money, values, and emotions intersect. Many people recognize that a bit of planning reduces tension, that habits shape outcomes, or that spending aligns—or doesn't—with their priorities.At the heart of this rhythm is intentionality. Crystal notes that a budget isn't meant to sit in the background until there's a problem. When revisited consistently, it becomes a tool that works for you rather than a set of rules you feel pressured to obey.For married couples, Crystal suggests reviewing the budget together, approaching the conversation with curiosity rather than criticism. Shared visibility promotes unity and helps both spouses move their priorities forward without resentment or misunderstanding.A five-minute weekly review may sound small, but over time it transforms budgeting from crisis-management into stewardship. It helps families spend purposefully, adjust gracefully, and ensure their financial decisions reflect what they truly value.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:My husband and I are trying to decide how to handle our son's $6,500 student loan. He's in the military and hasn't made payments since 2015. Should we pay it off in full from our retirement or savings, or just pay the minimum $75 per month and put that amount into an emergency fund for him and his wife? Also, would paying monthly affect his credit score?I'm 36 and have a 401(k), but I contribute about $25 every two weeks. I'd like to invest more, but I don't fully understand the differences among NASDAQ, S&P, index funds, and other investment options. What's the best strategy for someone my age who can take some risk?I retired at 66 and have never touched my employer retirement account or my IRA. I just turned 73, so I have to start taking RMDs. How are RMDs calculated, and how can I use them in a way that still allows me to tithe, give, and leave money to my children?Resources Mentioned:Faithful Steward: FaithFi's Quarterly Magazine (Become a FaithFi Partner)MoneySavingMom.comHow Can I Keep My Budget On Track?

In today's episode of Backpacker Radio presented by The Trek, brought to you by Topo Athletic, we are joined yet again by our pal Andrew Skurka and wayyyyy back former guest and now co-director of Skurka Adventures, Katie Gerber aka "Salty". Today's episode covers a lot of ground. Today's conversation is part backpacking advice, part gear nerd chat, part a glimpse inside the operation at Skurka Adventures. We first dive into Katie's list of the five biggest mistakes she made as a beginner backpacker and her take on why she loves her alcohol stove- after a decade of use. Andrew gives us an overview of vapor barrier layers and moisture management for cold-weather backpacking, the Ursack versus bear canister debate, he gives a framework for deciding exactly when it's time to hit the SOS button on your satellite communicator, the ethics of publicizing GPS tracks in these high consequence and fragile regions, and he shares his two cents on one of the most detailed bear-safety questions we've ever received. The duo also give us some standout stories from their years of working together, including a nightmarish and somehow hilarious story of surviving a Mojave Desert traffic jam in triple-digit heat. We wrap the show with a call for Trail Correspondents, if setting up your tent in the airport makes you a genius or an A-hole, the triple crown of winter drinks, and some fun Ibex facts from a listener.

Richard McGirr interviews Brent Neely about how he quietly acquired over $25 million in real estate before ever formally raising outside capital—and why he's now preparing to bring investors into his deals. Brent shares how profits from multiple successful e-commerce businesses were rapidly redeployed into real estate, the advantages of leveraging an existing business-owner network, and why one-on-one conversations drove nearly $2M in soft commitments in just 45 days. The discussion dives deep into early-stage capital raising strategy, building trust through education and transparency, and why starting with smaller, oversubscribed raises creates long-term momentum. The episode offers a practical blueprint for operators transitioning from self-funded investing to scalable capital raising.

Fifty times in a single day. That's how often JP Miller allegedly contacted his estranged wife Mica, according to the federal indictment. He tracked her with GPS devices. Posted intimate photos of her online without consent. Sabotaged her car. Then lied to FBI investigators about it.Mica Miller died on April 27, 2024 — 48 hours after serving him divorce papers. Her death was ruled a suicide. Now JP Miller faces federal cyberstalking charges.He pleaded not guilty in a Florence, South Carolina courtroom, then slipped out a back door while over seventy people waited and protesters chanted outside. Bond was set at $100,000 with strict conditions: ankle monitor, no firearms, no contact with victims, surrender of passport.Former FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke — who ran the Bureau's Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program — breaks down what the indictment reveals about predatory behavior and coercive control. Sworn affidavits describe years of isolation, financial manipulation, threats, and surveillance. Mica told police JP had "groomed" her since she was ten years old.His first wife Alison filed an affidavit alleging he confessed to affairs, hiring prostitutes, and being "sexually inappropriate" with underage church members. She says she went to police in 2015. They told her no one would believe her. Two civil lawsuits now accuse Miller of sexually assaulting minors in the late 1990s.And then there's Chris Skinner — a quadriplegic Army veteran who drowned in 2021, two weeks after allegedly confronting Miller about an affair with his wife. That wife is now married to JP Miller. He officiated Chris's funeral.Robin Dreeke analyzes the behavioral patterns, the control tactics, and what it takes to stop someone like this.#JPMiller #MicaMiller #JusticeForMica #RobinDreeJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
Robin Dreeke ran the FBI's Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program. He's spent his career studying manipulation, deception, and how predators operate. When he looks at the JP Miller case, he sees a textbook pattern of coercive control — and an indictment that only scratches the surface.According to federal charges, Miller tracked his estranged wife Mica with GPS devices, contacted her more than 50 times in a single day, posted intimate photos of her online without consent, and sabotaged her car — then lied to FBI investigators about it. Mica Miller died on April 27, 2024, just 48 hours after serving him divorce papers.But the indictment doesn't capture the years that came before.Sworn affidavits describe isolation, financial manipulation, threats, and constant surveillance. Mica told police JP had "groomed" her since she was ten years old. His first wife Alison filed an affidavit alleging he confessed to affairs, hiring prostitutes, and being "sexually inappropriate" with underage church members. She says she went to police in 2015. They told her no one would believe her.Two civil lawsuits now accuse Miller of sexually assaulting minors in the late 1990s. Both name his father as a co-defendant and allege their churches enabled abuse for decades.And then there's Chris Skinner — a quadriplegic Army veteran who drowned in a Myrtle Beach pool on Labor Day 2021. His widow Suzie is now JP Miller's third wife. According to Alison's affidavit, Chris confronted JP about an alleged affair with Suzie just two weeks before he died. JP officiated Chris's funeral.Miller pleaded not guilty in federal court, then slipped out a back door while seventy people waited.

Secret Sasquatch Research Facility ReportThe report describes a classified U.S. military research program, initiated in 1987 after a Sasquatch was killed by a train, that has expanded over 37 years to involve over 100 personnel in a heavily secured underground facility inside a mountain. Specimens and Facility107 cadavers (various ages and subspecies) stored in freezers.13 living specimens, acquired at significant human cost (multiple helicopter crashes attributed to capture attempts, officially covered as training accidents).Access requires passing three checkpoints; an elevator descends over 100 feet to the research levels.Key Biological FindingsAnatomy: Larger and denser than humans, with two extra ribs forming natural armor capable of stopping 30-caliber rounds; extremely dense skull (vulnerable only via eye socket or base); consumes entire prey (including bones) every 3–4 days.Genetics: 48 chromosomes (like apes, two more than humans), indicating not a human subspecies.Camouflage: Generate electric current through hair to reflect surroundings (electric camouflage); believed to also power night vision (glowing eyes when active).Vocalization: Three sets of vocal cords produce infrasound. Males induce fear, anxiety, confusion, or temporary memory loss; females produce calming/confusing effects that pacify prey.Communication: Use clicks, grunts, hand signals, and infrasound; live in hierarchical groups led by one alpha male.Social and Reproductive BehaviorStrict hierarchy; adult males fight to the death if females are present but can coexist without females.Females breed only after prior offspring reach 3–4 years; usually single births; young cling to mother for first year.Different responses to staff: calm and accepting with female staff; cautious or aggressive with male, uniformed, or armed staff.Female specimens have projected vivid mental images (“waking dreams”) to female staff (capture, childbirth, food preferences); no such events with male staff.Tracking and ReleaseFour non-aggressive specimens released with GPS implants.Tracked individuals follow long migration routes (e.g., eastern Texas to northern Ontario) or move 40–50 miles per night, staying weeks in one area.Signals sometimes vanish for days, suggesting underground cave travel.Distinct musks emitted for breeding, threat, or other contexts.The program prioritizes military applications (survivability, camouflage, infrasound weapons) and maintains extreme secrecy to prevent technology theft or public disruption.Join my Supporters Club for $4.99 per month for exclusive stories:https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/what-if-it-s-true-podcast--5445587/support
John Chang interviews Ben Lapidus, host of the Best Ever Conference, to discuss how commercial real estate investors are repositioning after several challenging years. Ben explains that sentiment has shifted from survival to selective action, with opportunity emerging outside traditional Sun Belt multifamily and into niche strategies like industrial, neighborhood retail, and specialized development plays. They explore why many LPs are consolidating capital with a smaller group of trusted operators, how scale and platform size can now suppress returns, and why unique investment theses are outperforming generic value-add strategies. Ben also shares why his long-term bias favors real estate over equities, emphasizing tangible value, basis plays, and adaptability as markets reset heading into the next cycle.
