From a vandalized 4×8 roadside sign to a $17K third deal—and eventually 30+ purchases halfway through 2025—Josh Jarbo breaks down the real, unglamorous mechanics of finding, funding, and flipping in a picky-buyer, longer-DOM market. What you'll learn: From zero to proof of concept: Nine months to the first $3K wholesale check—and why that mattered more than later $50K+ wins. Marketing vs. selling: Billboards, big signs, texts (then), and why rapport at the kitchen table still closes the buy side. Margins that keep you alive: Why Josh targets $40–50K flip spreads and often wholesales anything that nets $40K+ now. When deals go sideways: A wrong-fit contractor that vaporized $30K—and the guardrails Josh uses today. Capital stacks that scale: Graduating from personal cash to private/hard money and simple rules to avoid sleepless nights. Owner-finance alchemy: Packaging multiple assets (warehouse, office, storage) with better-than-bank terms. Market snapshot (mid-2025): Under $400K still moves; plan for ~3 months on market; buyers are picky—buy right or get nicked on inspection. Going farther afield: A smooth Florida penthouse flip (4.5 hours away)—and why your first deal should be local. Who Should Listen:

In this episode of the Tough Girl Podcast, we're joined by Christine Reed—an American long-distance backpacker and award-winning author—whose life changed when she took her first steps on the Appalachian Trail in 2015. With no prior backpacking experience, Christine dove headfirst into the unknown, seeking healing, purpose, and a sense of identity. Since then, Christine has hiked thousands of miles, lived out of a van, and carved a creative path through storytelling. Her debut memoir, Alone in Wonderland, captured her raw and powerful journey of self-discovery, while her latest anthology Blood Sweat Tears amplifies the voices of women+ on trail—sharing unfiltered stories about periods, pain, perseverance, and everything in between. We talk about grief, growth, writing through discomfort, and the courage it takes to follow your passions even when they feel far outside your comfort zone. Christine's story reminds us that you don't have to be outdoorsy, athletic, or fearless to start—you just have to begin. ***  New episodes of the Tough Girl Podcast drop every Tuesday at 7 AM (UK time)! Make sure to subscribe so you never miss the inspiring journeys and incredible stories of tough women pushing boundaries.  Do you want to support the Tough Girl Mission to increase the amount of female role models in the media in the world of adventure and physical challenges? Support via Patreon!

On todays podcast, I speak with Australian Army Black Hawk and Chinook helicopter veteran Kevin Humphreys. Kevin is an inspiring and transformative international keynote speaker, mentor, and author. He's well-known for smashing stereotypes and transforming self-leadership. Graduating top of his pilot's course at just 21, Kevin went on to serve in the Army for 20 years flying Black Hawk and Chinook helicopters. He deployed on numerous overseas operations. In 2006, Kevin was one of the Chinook pilots who flew in under fire into a hot HLZ to pick up the Canadian Special forces in the battle of DA Nile. 24 Commandos were left on the ground facing 300 Taliban. Head back to listen to episode 100 with Craig Hamburger, he was one of the 24 Commandos on the ground that day, and speaks about the respect he has for Kev and the other Chinook pilots that day. Towards the peak of his career, Kevin contemplated suicide and suffered a breakdown due to a cocktail of mental illness, alcohol abuse, and a toxic culture. Kevin not only got back on his feet but also back in the air again, spending the next ten years as a Search and Rescue helicopter pilot, flight instructor/examiner, Chief Pilot, and Director of Operations.

The Robyn Engelson Podcast Ever wish you had a life mentor with over decades of experience whispering million dollar tips in your ear? That's exactly what you will get each week when you tune into The Robyn Engelson Podcast. I'm your host, a sought after burnout recovery coach for high-achieving women and help you heal from burnout and survival mode, so you can reclaim your energy, joy, and rediscover your voice. Each week, I bring you inspiring guests, insights, and tools to empower you to be energized, compress time, and start living instead of existing.   Episode Title: How Do You Rebuild After Losing Everything? Host: Robyn Engelson Guest: Rashmi Airan Episode Summary:  In this episode, we sit down with Rashmi Airan, former attorney, Wall Street investment banker, and now a speaker, leadership guide, and fierce advocate for redefining success. Rashmi's story is not about perfection. It's about truth, ownership, and rising with purpose. After being indicted for bank fraud and serving six months in federal prison, Rashmi faced the loss of everything she thought defined her: her career, her reputation, her status. But in the ashes, she discovered something far more powerful, her real self. Now, Rashmi uses her story to help others rise. Through her RISE Process: Reframe, Identify, Surrender, Evolve. She invites us to let go of shame, redefine our worth, and lead with authenticity. This conversation is for anyone who has ever felt like failure was the end. Rashmi is here to remind you: it might just be the beginning.    You'll learn: How did prison become the start of personal transformation? Why is letting go of ego the key to real growth? What the RISE Process looks like — and how to use it? How did gratitude journaling change Rashmi's life? Why do most women leaders set boundaries without guilt? What happens when you embrace vulnerability as strength?   Memorable Quotes: “I got eulogized before I died. And I realized people loved me… not for my success, but for me.” – Rashmi “Not doing something is still doing something wrong.” – Rashmi “It's not about the fall. It's about who you become when you rise.” – Robyn   Resources & Mentions: https://rashmiairan.com   Actionable Steps for Listeners: 1. Reflect on a Moment You Reframed Was there a time you turned pain into purpose? Write it down. Let it guide you. 2. Start a Gratitude Journal One line a day. Especially on hard days. It changes everything. 3. Identify Your Support Circle Who helps you stay grounded? Reach out. Tell them they matter. 4. Share Rashmi's Story Send this episode to someone who feels like they're in a low moment. Remind them they're not alone.   Final Thought: Your worth isn't defined by what you achieve, but by how you show up, even when everything falls apart. Like Rashmi says: “You can lose everything, and still find your purpose.”    What listeners have to say: “I cried when Rashmi said she thought no one would pick up her call. This episode is a must-listen.” – David M., entrepreneur “This is the most honest conversation I've heard on leadership and failure.” – Alisha T., executive coach “Gratitude journaling in prison? I'm rethinking everything I complain about.” – Marissa G., C-suite mom   These stories remind us:  Failure isn't the end. It's an invitation to evolve.  Success means nothing if you lose yourself in the process.  True connection comes from authenticity, not achievement.   Now it's your turn: Which part of Rashmi's journey resonated most with you? Have you ever felt like your worth was tied to your achievements? We'd love to hear. DM us, tag us, or share your story. You never know who it might inspire.   Loved this episode?

A keynote speaker, consultant, and unapologetic truth-teller, she shakes up rooms with her raw, riveting story. One that challenges everything you think you know about leadership, ethics, and the hidden traps of ambition. She doesn't just speak about resilience; she lives it, proving that even the most crushing failures can be transformed into a catalyst for growth, authenticity, and unshakable courage. As a first-generation Indian American, Rashmi was raised to chase excellence. She did just that. Graduating with honors from Columbia Law School, thriving in corporate America, and building her own law practice. But success has a dark side. During the housing boom, she made a decision that, at the time, seemed small, but had devastating consequences. A single ethical blind spot, fueled by the pressure to provide for her children, led to a federal prison sentence for bank fraud. Prison shattered everything she thought she knew about herself. And then? She rebuilt: stronger, bolder, and more awake than ever. Through six months behind bars, Rashmi stripped away the layers of ego, guilt, and fear that had defined her. She emerged with a powerful message: our worst mistakes don't define us, our responses to them does. Now a "recovering government, corporate, and real estate lawyer," Rashmi is a globally recognized speaker who fearlessly tackles the complexities of human behavior, decision-making, and ethical leadership. With 30+ years in business, law, and finance, she has a front-row seat to the pressures that push good people into bad decisions, and she's on a mission to wake up individuals and organizations before they fall into the same traps. Her insights are backed by cutting-edge research in behavioral psychology, ethics, and leadership, and she's partnered with global powerhouses like Coca-Cola, Cardinal Health, Merck, Comcast, Sotheby's, and Hershey's. Deloitte has recognized her transformational impact, and her story has been featured on ABC, PBS, The Washington Post, and The Wall Street Journal. Rashmi doesn't do surface-level inspiration. She sparks deep, uncomfortable, necessary conversations. She challenges Fortune 100 leaders, financial firms, legal teams, and women's groups to confront their blind spots, own their decisions, and rise through their struggles with integrity and courage. Beyond the stage, she's an avid hiker, globe-trotter, and proud mother of two. She serves on the Board of Directors for the Overtown Youth Center/Alonzo Mourning Foundation and is an Ambassador for The Key Clubhouse. Her message is simple but urgent: Life will break you. Your choices will define you. And no matter how hard you fall: you can RISE.   Connect with Robyn: Bring Robyn to Your Stage Get Robyn's #1 best selling book, Exhausted To Energized - 90 Days To Your Best Self Get Robyn's Free Back To You: From Chaos To Clarity Video Sign up for Robyn's Unapologetic Personal Letter   View Robyn's Website Follow Robyn on LinkedIn Watch Robyn on Instagram Robyn's Facebook

Ever heard the phrase “may you live in interesting times?” Seems applicable these days. And it's causing a lot of people to live with a constant feeling of anxiety that nags at you, sapping at your energy throughout the day, so by bedtime, you're exhausted but still can't sleep. Financial stress is a primary source. According to an April 2025 survey, fewer than 45% of Americans say they're in better than fair shape financially. Which means more than 50% are not ok. Well, there's a good chance that it's not your fault. Because many Americans did not grow up with the family support to develop financial literacy from a young age. Maybe you were told family finances were “none of your business.” Layer on top that often parents and grandparents didn't have a strong financial foundation of understanding to start with either. Anders Jones has been taking matters around this topic into his own hands ever since a series of twists and turns brought him into what he and his mother jokingly call "the family business", even though the family doesn't have a business and they never worked together.Growing up, Anders was fortunate to not really want for much of anything. His mom worked at Fidelity and helped millions of Americans prepare for retirement. His stepdad was a British guy who gifted him his first car, complete with a single CD disc changer and two requirements.Graduating college in 2009, at the height of a financial crisis, he didn't have a whole lot of prospects for becoming an investment banker or going into private equity. So he joined a Web 2.0 company owned by a serial entrepreneur whose method was to hire young, promising talent and empower them to figure things out. After a while, they sold the company. Since then, he's become involved with several ventures, including co-founding a financial planning firm called Facet.Now, Anders says that he feels so fortunate that if he were to die and be reincarnated, he'd want to come back as himself. That's not something many people would say. So at what moment did the boomerang whack him in the face and show him why Fine Is a 4-Letter Word?Well hang on, because when you meet Anders, you'll find out that this time, it's you, the listener, for whom things are not "fine". Up until now, you've been told that money is a taboo topic. Up until now, you've been told to trust your gut, then gotten lambasted when you did and things didn't work out as planned. It's time for new conversations on a lot of topics. Anders is going to get us started on three - gratitude, mindfulness, and financial literacy. There's a reason he picks three, which you'll also find out. Anders' hype song is “Riding With The King” by B.B. King & Eric Clapton.Resources:Anders Jones' website: https://facet.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/anders-jones/ Invitation from Lori:This episode is sponsored by Zen Rabbit. Smart business leaders know trust is the foundation of every great workplace. And in today's hybrid and fast-moving work culture, trust isn't built in quarterly town halls or the occasional Slack message. It's built through consistent, clear, and HUMAN communication. Companies and leaders TALK about the importance of connection and community. And it's easy to believe your organization is doing a great job of maintaining an awesome corporate culture.

Born to immigrant parents and raised in a motel in Alabama, she learned early what grit, sacrifice, and resilience really look like. After earning her MBA from Columbia, Shazi launched Happy Family with a homemade recipe and a bold idea to revolutionize baby food. She grew it into the #1 organic baby food brand in the U.S. and sold it to Groupe Danone but her story didn't stop there. When her son was diagnosed with autism, it shifted her entire worldview and became the spark behind her second company, HealthyBaby, which she built to support babies' neurodevelopment and protect their health from day one.In this week's episode, Shazi shares what it really means to lead with purpose - even when the path isn't clear. She opens up about how her upbringing shaped her view of business, why resilience matters more than confidence, and how she scaled Happy Family & had a successful exit despite the many roadblocks they faced.

Time and again, as you go through nearly 200 episodes of Fine Is a 4-Letter Word, you'll find stories from guests who found themselves disconnected from what's supposed to be a connected world.Your circle of close friends you see all the time - your "besties"? Go back two years and tell me how many of them are the same people.Your avid following on social media who hang on your every post? Delete your account and I bet maybe two of them even try to reach out somewhere else.Sometimes being disconnected is a lonely place to be. Other times, it gives you the advantage of not being indoctrinated into other people's beliefs.It could also mean your tribe is quietly forming behind you as you go through this journey called life - as Margaret Rogers discovered when her own journey became a giant a-ha moment.The daughter of Taiwanese immigrants, her parents' cultural way of showing love was to make sure she had the security that came with providing for her basic needs. She wanted for little materially, but the rest was up to her. Her parents told her two things: "We want you to be happy, healthy, and have a steady job" and "Money's easy to spend and very difficult to make".In school, she was the only Asian girl in class. There weren't the thriving, nuclear Asian communities that exist in almost every city today. In college, taking an engineering class filled almost entirely with white men, her professor interrupted his lecture and singled out the woman, asking her, "do you understand?" for no particular reason at all.Graduating with degrees in both electrical engineering and computer science, Margaret easily got a job during the dot-com boom. But then the bubble burst. She decided she really wanted to do "consulting" with only a vague notion of what that is. So she said "if you're laying people off, pick me" and started her own firm. This was all turning out just fine. Really. But Fine is a 4-Letter Word, as Margaret found out after another company acquired hers and she became an executive there. When it hit her that the acquirer had bought the company's technical skill but abandoned the culture she had built, she felt like she'd let down the team she'd nurtured and assured she'd take good care of.So, who had Margaret's back now?You'll discover that in a moment. You'll hear her story about the power of mentorship that began when she hired her first employee and recognized how that changed her own life forever. You'll also see how everybody from her Taiwanese grandmother to so many she's met along the way have come together behind her like a posse. Like she's Wonder Woman and they're her Avengers.Listen all the way through as it will hit you right at the end.Margaret's hype song is "Let's Get It Started" by The Black Eyed Peas.Resources:Margaret Rogers' website: https://parivedasolutions.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/margaretpengrogers/Invitation from Lori: This episode is sponsored by Zen Rabbit.

In 2012, Oregon Gov. John Kitzhaber announced a goal that by 2025, the state would achieve a 100% high school graduation rate. Although Oregon today graduates only about 4 out of 5 students, that aspiration sparked the creation of OPB’s “Class of 2025” project. Journalists at OPB began tracking 27 students starting in first grade at Earl Boyles Elementary School in Southeast Portland through their senior year. For the past 12 years, the production team has documented the students’ triumphs and setbacks, transitions to new schools and social dynamics, along with the family members, teachers and administrators who’ve been helping them reach this milestone. The first podcast episode featuring some of those students at David Douglas High navigating their senior year is now available and a TV documentary featuring other seniors will be released in November. Joining us to discuss “Class of 2025” are three students: Josh, Joel and Anais. OPB editor and “Class of 2025” executive producer Rob Manning and Elizabeth Miller, an OPB education reporter and the reporter, producer and host of the “Class of 2025” documentary, also join us to reflect on the project and what it reveals about Oregon’s education system.

In this episode of Experience Miracles, Dr. Tony Ebel interviews Ewelina Dalka, a mom and lifestyle blogger whose daughter Mya was born with BPES (Blepharophimosis Ptosis Epicanthus Inversus Syndrome) and developed low muscle tone. This powerful conversation reveals how early intervention, chiropractic care, physical therapy, and community support helped Mya not just meet her milestones—but dominate them. Ewelina shares her journey from those scary early days of uncertainty to watching Mya graduate from physical therapy ahead of schedule, and how she's now using social media to support other families facing similar challenges.Key Topics & Timestamps[00:05:00] Mya's Birth & The Early Red FlagsMya's birth story and the immediate concern: she wouldn't open her eyesMom gut vs. medical professionals saying "wait and see"BPES diagnosis: Blepharophimosis Ptosis Epicanthus Inversus Syndrome[00:10:00] Low Muscle Tone Discovery & Early InterventionWell-rooted pediatrician discovers low tone at 4 monthsThe "Perfect Storm" - BPES plus low tone challengesReferral to Dream Riders physical therapyPT immediately recommends Neurlogically-Focused Chiropractic Care at PWC Chiropractic[00:13:00] Starting Chiropractic Care at PWCEwelina's smart strategy: Gets adjusted herself firstPowerful moment: PWC staff treats Mya as a normal child, not her conditionThe power of co-regulation - parent nervous system affects child's healing[00:16:00] Mya's Incredible TransformationImmediate results: PT staff notice a difference after chiropracticMya starts "crushing" her milestones instead of being delayedEmotional victory: Graduating from PT early - "We didn't think we were going to get there"[00:18:00] The Healing Power of CommunityPWC's supportive environment beyond just treatmentNatural support networks forming among families[00:21:00] Using Social Media to Help OthersEwelina's decision to share Mya's story after finding no resources onlineReaching families worldwide with BPES and similar challengesThree-layer healing: See internet for impact, serve others, find personal healing[00:27:00] Advice for New Families & Mya's Surgery SuccessFirst recommendation: "Slow down and it's okay"Always consider nervous system care as the foundationMya's surgery at age 2 - amazing healing with daily chiropractic adjustmentsLearn more about Mya's story and get connected with Ewelina on socials:Instagram: @ewelinadalka-- Follow us on Socials: Instagram: @pxdocs Facebook: Dr. Tony Ebel & The PX Docs Network Youtube: The PX Docs For more information, visit PXDocs.com to read informative articles about the power of Neurologically-Focused Chiropractic Care.

For years, Payson has maintained that Nichole is the most talented athlete in their household, but it wasn't until this winter that she finally decided to add some structure to her riding and shoot for some concrete goals. It all came about during an unusual lull in her schedule shortly after she and Payson finished his crossing project in New Zealand and got married in Tasmania, and just after she completed her capstone project for her Master's Degree in Public Health from Johns Hopkins. Payson and Nichole sat down to talk about how her tentative request for a training plan turned into an increasingly busy racing schedule. She started out by jumping into the four-day Sahara Gravel stage race in Morocco in February before winning the Central Missouri Circuit, a 340-mile ultra race, earlier this month. This weekend, she'll be lining up for the Unbound 100 in preparation for the Vapor Trail, a high-country bikepacking race later this year. Nichole talks about surprising herself in Morocco by discovering a thrill for racing, dealing with the heat, mental exhaustion, and fueling headaches during the overnight Central Missouri Circuit, and what it's been like having Payson as a coach. They also catch up on her studies at Johns Hopkins and how they relate to her work at the biopsy clinic in Uganda. For a more in-depth conversation about her work in pathology, listen to our episode from last year: Nichole Baker on her eighth year in Uganda for Path of LogicInstagram: @withpacepodYouTube: Payson McElveen
