Join us on this jam-packed episode of Off the Screen, where the crew reunites after a two‑week break and dives into everything from bucket‑list vacations to NBA playoff drama. First, Mike transports us to the sun‑drenched shores of Grand Cayman, recounting days spent swimming with stingrays, marveling at bioluminescent plankton and starfish, followed by pure relaxation with tropical drinks. We contrast that with another host's whirlwind weekend at the final Dreamville Festival, complete with unforgettably electric performances from Lil Wayne, J. Cole, and J.I.D., plus a pit stop at Congaree National Park. The gang debates the toll of music festivals on the over‑30 set (“first time I fell asleep standing up!”) and shares plans for upcoming adventures—from knocking out national parks (four down, fifty‑nine to go!) to birthday getaways in Dallas.On the work front, one co‑host celebrates landing his first tech‑sector role with steady 8–4 hours, while another teases vlog‑camera upgrades to chronicle every trip. We discuss tips for “Shot on iPhone” credits and whether the Gateway Arch truly deserves its National Park status.Then, we shift into full-court press on the NBA's play‑in games and seeding battles: the Orlando Magic's decisive win over the Hawks, Trae Young's fiery ejection, and the Warriors edging out the Grizzlies for the No. 7 seed. Tune in for hot takes on game‑winning streaks—Steph Curry's late‑game barrage versus Desmond Bane's rookie‑rebound heroics—and a lively debate over phantom fouls on Butler and Poole. We preview Round 1 matchups (Magic vs. Celtics, Warriors vs. Rockets), assess Cinderella potential, and share insider betting stories (sorry, Jordan!).Whether you're chasing sun, stats, or slam dunks, this episode has something for every Off the Screen fan. Don't miss the banter, the travel envy, and the insider hoops breakdown—it's our most eclectic catch‑up yet!

Tom welcomes Jeff Clark back to the show! Jeff is the Founder of TheGoldAdvisor.com and author of the new book "Paydirt.". Jeff discusses the current state of the mining industry. He emphasizes that while gold is in a bull market, mining stocks have lagged behind, creating an opportunity for investors and highlights historical trends where mining stocks eventually outperform gold and expressed optimism about future gains. Clark discussed the financial health of major producers, noting significant increases in earnings and free cash flow due to rising gold prices. This cash influx could lead to increased M&A activity, benefiting juniors and explorers. However, he cautions investors to expect pullbacks in the market and advised maintaining a diversified portfolio with a mix of seniors, developers, and juniors. Jeff also touches on uranium and copper, noting their bullish fundamentals despite recent price corrections. He encourages investors to focus on companies with strong management, favorable jurisdictions, and strategic growth plans. Additionally, he shares his insights on portfolio management, advising readers to take profits at key milestones while maintaining core positions in promising stocks. He wraps up by expressing confidence in the mining sector's future, urging metals investors to stay informed and prepared for upcoming opportunities.

This month, we head to the tropics and meet the Blue Iguana of the Cayman Islands! This endangered lizard is found nowhere else on the globe save for the island of Grand Cayman in the Caribbean, and just two decades ago, it's likely there were fewer than 25 animals remaining in the wild. This was a species that was functionally extinct, but thanks to the herculean efforts of a dedicated group of people, the Blue Iguana (Cyclura lewisi) has been brought back from the brink, with over 1000 iguanas now roaming the dry, rocky forests of Grand Cayman. In July of 2024 Bill traveled there to interview Fred Burton, the man many people credit as the main driver behind the effort to save this endemic species.This episode was recorded on July 25, 2024 at the Queen Elizabeth II Botanic Park, North Side, Grand CaymanEpisode Notes and LinksFind ourt more about conservation of the Blue Iguana by visiting the National Trust for the Cayman Islands.If you want to support efforts to help the Blue Iguana, you can donate here.Check out Fred's book, The Little Blue Book: A Short History of the Grand Cayman Blue IguanaIf you ever find yourself in Grand Cayman, we can't recommend enough that you visit the Queen Elizabeth II Botanic Park, home to the Blue Iguana captive breeding program.Sponsors and Ways to Support UsGumleaf Boots, USA (free shipping for patrons)Thank you to Always Wandering Art (Website and Etsy Shop) for providing the artwork for this episode.Support us on Patreon.Check out the Field Guides merch at our Teespring store.

11 years ago I attended my first Engage. It was like a roller coaster. At first I was scared to got, but then once I was on it was the time of my life. And when I was done, I wanted to jump in line and go again. Engage has been a big part of my life since that first one in Scottsdale, Arizona. I met my wife, Katy, at my 3rd Engage, in Grand Cayman. I got a job running Todd Fiscus's companies at that same one in Grand Cayman. Katy and I got engaged on a birthday trip we piggybacked on to an Engage in 2017. And later that year I spoke at a breakout session for the first time. Engage Amelia Island was my 17th Engage and 6th time speaking. My topic was about how to educate your clients the right way. Earlier this year, I hosted my annual State of the Industry panel, where we discussed what's happening in the industry and what business owners should be focused on for success. This year's theme was “educating” your clients. Everyone talked about it multiple times. In fact, I ran a 14-second clip at Engage showing all the times one of the panelists said “education.” But what does it mean to “educate” your clients? How do you do it well? And when in the buyer's journey? And what's the best way to do it? These were the questions I answered in my talk last week, and I'll share some highlights with you on my podcast today. But I'll also include what I picked up from others who shared the stage over the week, because there was so much to think about based on the content I heard. I've done this Engage wrap-up after every one I've attended since 2017. I hope you get as many takeaways from this summary as I did from the summit itself.
This Flashback Friday is from episode 1193 published last May 14, 2019. Jason Hartman and Adam start today's episode by answering a listener question from Amina, who wants to know what her options are after she maxes out her Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac loans. Surely there are options out there, but what are they? Then Jason has a client case study with David Nelson, who, along with his wife, has amassed a real estate portfolio that has allowed her to retire early to focus on their holdings. David discusses how his cockiness led him into a bad deal, why continual education is important and where his journey is heading.
