ohn McNellis didn't set out to become one of Northern California's most respected retail developers - he set out to avoid a courtroom. After a journalism degree at UC Berkeley and a detour through law school, John landed at a prestigious San Francisco law firm, hated litigation, and started flipping small duplexes on nights and weekends just to stay sane. Over half a dozen years, that side hustle quietly became a real business. 43 years later, John and his partners at McNellis Partners have developed more than 100 properties, mostly supermarket-anchored shopping centers, and he's distilled every hard-won lesson into the bestselling book Making It in Real Estate - now in its third edition and required reading at universities nationwide. In this episode, John gets brutally honest about the arc of a four-decade career: the deals that built his reputation, the mistakes that nearly ended it, and why he believes "passive investment" in commercial real estate is one of the industry's biggest lies. We talk about what actually separates investors who last from those who flame out, why sticking to your "weight class" on deals matters more than chasing the big score, and how surviving - and winning - a down market comes down to discipline most people don't have. If you've ever wondered whether real estate is something you can realistically start on the side while keeping your W-2, this conversation is proof it's possible - and a clear-eyed look at what it actually costs to build something that lasts In this episode: Why John walked away from law to bet on real estate part-time The "Ten Great Ways to Lose Money" he's learned firsthand What separates investors who last 40+ years from those who don't Why "passive investment" in CRE is a myth Surviving — and winning — in a down market The politics of City Hall and why real estate is never just about the deal Download our new AI Rental Property Calculator Book your mentorship discovery call with Cory RESOURCESGet business funding - revenued.com/juice
Tune in here to this Friday’s edition of the Brett Winterble Show! Brett kicks off the program with Pete Kaliner for this edition of The Hangover as they discuss which high-profile leftists they would most want to interview, with Pete quickly choosing Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez because of the potential for a viral conversation. They also discuss James Talarico and the possibility of challenging his interpretations of Christianity and Scripture in a debate. The conversation then turns to political streamer Hasan Piker, with Brett and Pete joking about the possibility of a rap battle and imagining how they would challenge his political arguments. Later Brett discusses the maturity and resilience he sees in younger generations, pointing to Mr. Mendoza's response after a difficult loss as an example of taking responsibility, learning from setbacks, and continuing to grow. Brett reflects on how the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted the lives of young people, including missed graduations, proms, school experiences, family gatherings, and other milestones. He argues that despite those challenges, many young people have emerged more mature, hardworking, and determined than previous generations.

On the Uplevel Dairy Podcast, Peggy Coffeen visits with the family behind Golden E Dairy in Kewaskum, Wisconsin, where first-generation farmers Chris and Tracey Elbe describe building their dairy from a 64-stall stanchion barn and 250 acres into a self-sufficient enterprise milking 2,900 cows, raising calves, heifers, and steers on site, and operating grain handling and soybean roasting.Chris recounts starting at age nine with calves as pay, learning through hardship, and taking calculated risks to expand from tie-stalls to a parlor and freestalls, then a modern facility with a double-32. Tracey, a former X-ray tech, shares adapting from city life, raising four children who all stayed in the business, and the challenge of letting go during transition.

Send us Fan MailThe most candid segment of the panel. A private investment banker says the most expensive mistake he made was not paying for expert legal counsel — and explains why a cheap lawyer costs more on the back end than a good one does upfront. A family office CFO cites his first private investment loss to make a principle: founders must have skin in the game and LP capital must come back first, always — the Richest Man in Babylon principle applied to modern private investing. A serial entrepreneur says his most painful lesson was firing himself too late from his own company. And the banker closes with a real deal: a company that sold for $90 million where the founder walked away with $2 million — because of how capital was raised and what the terms looked like. Final note: if you're raising seed capital, your first check almost never comes from a stranger — it comes from your own network.https://familyoffices.com/
In this episode, Jen shares the hard-earned lessons she has learned over the years about working with freelancers — how to build better working relationships, what red flags to stop ignoring, and how to protect both your peace and your business. She talks candidly about wanting freelancers to feel valued, have fun, learn, and grow, while also realizing that too much blurred energy can become detrimental to the business.Jen walks through the patterns she has seen over time: unreliable communication, unclear expectations, blurred personal boundaries, talent without reliability, energy that shifts the whole tone of the studio, and the reality that not every freelancer is the right fit for every business. She explains why initial interactions matter, why common sense is not universal, why examples and SOPs can be game changers, and why treating every freelancer like family can backfire.This episode is not about becoming cold or harsh. It is about becoming clearer. Jen shares how to create a healthier freelancer culture where expectations are understood, honesty is encouraged, fit matters, and both sides feel valued.In this episode, Jen talks about:Why initial interactions tell you a lotWhy freelancers are not familyWhy you are running a business, not a sororityWhy not everyone will care about your business like you doWhy expectations need to be painfully clearWhy photos, samples, mockups, and SOPs are so helpfulWhy common sense is not commonWhy time expectations need to be spelled outWhy reliability matters more than raw talentWhy your energy sets the tone but cannot fix everythingWhy some people are simply not the right fit, and that is okayKey takeawayYou can care deeply about people and still run your business clearly.The healthiest freelancer relationships come from honesty, boundaries, clear expectations, and recognizing that not every talented person is the right fit for your studio.

Julio Almanza grew up in Chicago after his father walked out — and that loss set everything in motion. The streets became his family the Satan Disciples became his identity and the Mexican cartel became his employer. At just 17 years old he was caught smuggling drugs on the Mexico side of the border and spent the next four years locked up in a Mexican prison before being transferred to federal custody in the United States. When he got out he went straight back. Ten more years in federal prison followed. He left the Satan Disciples and joined the Latin Kings — and his former gang immediately put hits out on him. He survived moved to Arizona to start over ended up back inside and finally turned his life around completely. _____________________________________________ #cartel #prison #truecrimestories _____________________________________________ Thank you to GLD & FACTOR for sponsoring this episode: GLD: New customers get 40% Off with code LOCKEDIN at https://www.gld.com/ _____________________________________________ Factor: Head to http://factormeals.com/lockedin50off and use code lockedin50off to get 50 percent off and free daily greens per box, with new subscription only, while supplies last until 09/27/2026.

Snow | September 22 to 23, 2026 An in-person event built for snow leaders and their teams. Two days of snow-specific breakout sessions, a facility tour, and content designed to drive real change at your business. Details coming soon. Scott Lesak, President of Kasel Rocks Facility Services in Allentown, Pennsylvania, joins Phil to share his journey from professional track cyclist to firefighter to president of a mid-sized industrial snow operation. From starting a business with his dad at 15 while racing bicycles, to pivoting from high-end residential design build into recurring-revenue commercial snow, to running roughly 45 loaders across the entire eastern half of Pennsylvania, Scott shares hard-won lessons on communication, culture, and the personal transformation that reshaped how he leads. He also opens up about his firefighting years, his recovery from PTSD and alcohol, and why the change you want to see in your business starts within you. Connect with Scott on LinkedIn Key Learnings Hire for Attitude, Not Experience - Skills can be taught, but the willingness to learn and show up upbeat is what actually predicts whether someone will grow into a great team member. Recurring Revenue Multiplies Your Selling Effort - Selling $1.5M in one-time design build work every year gets you $1.5M, but selling $1.5M in three-year contracts stacks to $4.5M in revenue by year three. 12-Month Billing Reduces Snow Risk - Guaranteed 12-month billing on seasonal contracts is what makes it safe to invest in the loaders, plows, and equipment growth requires. Relationships Beat Production in Sales - Clients don't care how you plow snow or cut grass, they care that it's done, so the relationship side of the sales process matters more than showing off your production process. Not Everyone Thinks Like You Do - The older you get, the more you realize your thought process is unique, which means clarity and repetition in communication matter more than you think. Communication Is a True Competitive Advantage - Sending weather forecasts, game plan updates, and real-time production updates keeps clients informed and separates you from every other contractor claiming the same service.

Matthew Symonds grew up on a ranch in western Nebraska, started training barrel horses right out of high school, and recently added a real estate license to the list. He is new to land sales and not pretending otherwise. What he brings instead is a lifetime of working with horses, reading animals, and figuring out when to push and when to walk away, instincts that translate to land work in ways that are hard to manufacture. This conversation covers what it actually takes to train a barrel horse from scratch, why mental drive matters more than raw athletic ability, how the first horse you train teaches you things you carry for the rest of your career, and why putting a bigger bit on a hurting horse is the worst advice in the business. It also goes somewhere more serious. Western Nebraska is deep in drought right now. Hay hit $300 a ton. Farmers are being limited to 15 to 20 days of irrigation water. People who have never considered selling are being forced to make decisions about land that has been in their families for a hundred years. Matthew knows these people. He grew up with them. And he is watching it happen in real time. For anyone in western Nebraska navigating a drought-driven land decision, or anyone who just wants to hear a young horse trainer talk honestly about mastering a craft, this one is worth your time.

Keith O'Palick spent 24 years with the NYPD — rising from beat cop to plain clothes officer in Chinatown to detective handling murder investigations and high profile cases. In this episode of Locked In with Ian Bick, Keith pulls back the curtain on what it really looks like inside the NYPD — from stopping robberies undercover in Chinatown to working homicide investigations in Midtown before transitioning to the DA's office where he worked protective detail during the Trump trial. He breaks down the truth about New York City safety, why cops do perp walks and whether that will ever change, how detectives manage massive caseloads, and why Rikers Island will never close no matter what politicians say. _____________________________________________ #NYPD #TrueCrime #newyorkcity _____________________________________________ Connect with Keith O'Palick: Website: https://www.kopinvestigations.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/keith.opalick/ Book: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FLNM7RCG?ref=cm_sw_r_ffobk_cso_cp_apin_dp_2P37RZCM562NNWMBXTPZ&ref_=cm_sw_r_ffobk_cso_cp_apin_dp_2P37RZCM562NNWMBXTPZ&social_share=cm_sw_r_ffobk_cso_cp_apin_dp_2P37RZCM562NNWMBXTPZ&bestFormat=true&csmig=1&fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQPOTM2NjE5NzQzMzkyNDU5AAGn63jIRsGPGC4zobZdkhXB-SHKDcjFTYKdqG3saWzaiQ25l7-mRZ5W9bxxfAo_aem_eQi9Wpvz6EQIYg2i5R6Wrw&utm_content=link_in_bio&utm_medium=social&utm_source=ig _____________________________________________ Hosted, Executive Produced & Edited By Ian Bick: https://www.instagram.com/ian_bick/?hl=en https://ianbick.com/ _____________________________________________ Timestamps: 00:00 Meet Keith Opalik: 20+ Years NYPD 00:24 Growing Up in NYC & The Road to Policing 01:21 Why He Chose the NYPD 03:20 Family, Roots & Early Influences 04:44 What Pulled Him Into Law Enforcement 07:12 How His Parents Reacted to "I'm Becoming a Cop" 08:55 Should Future Cops Go to College? 10:26 Day One: His First Assignment on the Force 12:48 Going Plainclothes 15:00 Undercover: The Taxi Cab Sting Tactics 19:13 Policing a City That Never Stops Changing 22:01 The Admin Battles Nobody Warns You About 26:13 Promotions, Politics & Internal Affairs 29:36 First Detective Case (And the Media Circus) 32:01 Working the Media as a Detective 34:38 Leaks, Pressure & High-Profile Cases 38:08 Why Some Cases Go Viral 42:22 Midtown vs. Every Other Precinct 45:57 The Crimes That Made Headlines 51:39 Perp Walks: The Truth Behind the Cameras 01:00:04 Caseloads, Staffing & Cop Burnout 01:09:43 Can a Cop Actually Have a Family Life? 01:14:54 Leaving for the DA's Office & Executive Protection 01:21:50 Inside Trump Trial Security 01:25:12 America's Political Divide From the Inside 01:28:57 Is NYC Still Safe?

In this inaugural episode, he defines "winning" beyond visible results like the scoreboard, revenue, recognition, or busyness, arguing those metrics can mask weak culture and broken infrastructure. Drawing on 30 years of coaching experience and ownership of over 30 businesses, he explains how lessons from baseball - recruiting, team building, culture, and player development - translate directly to business and leadership. He shares contrasts from his college coaching career, including outperforming resources to finish fifth at the World Series, then later seeing how talented recruits who weren't a cultural fit exposed a weak foundation despite winning records. Rigsby emphasizes that marketing and sales fuel growth, but people and culture determine sustainability, fulfillment, and a life to be proud of, and he will share practical lessons and interviews with guests. 00:00 Welcome to the Show 00:12 Why the Scoreboard Lies 00:57 Mission Behind Winning Coach 02:09 Lessons from the Dugout 02:49 Early Coaching Struggles 03:21 Building a Championship Culture 04:11 When Culture Breaks 05:07 Turning Sports into Business 05:26 People Over Transactions 06:22 Wins and Hard Lessons 06:40 What Youll Learn Here 07:40 Guests and the Big Goal 08:06 Final Expectations

Most real estate investors never reach financial freedom. Not because they lack hustle. Not because they miss deals. They fail because they never build a real long-term strategy. In this episode, Brian sits down with Joel Kraut, a real estate investor with over 30 years of experience. Joel has flipped more than 100 homes, built rental portfolios across multiple states, operated through the 2008 crash, and rebuilt after losing $4.2M during the financial crisis. Today, he shares the framework behind his book Seven Steps to Financial Freedom and explains how investors can build portfolios that survive volatility and compound over time. In This Episode, You'll Learn: How Joel accidentally discovered the BRRRR method in the 1990s The biggest differences between real estate investing then vs. now Why today's financing options are more flexible than ever Where the BRRRR strategy still works in 2026 Why most investors fail because they treat real estate like transactions instead of a business How to build a team before you scale The importance of slowing down and creating a real financial foundation Why boring deals often outperform "home run" swings How Joel recovered after losing $4.2M in the 2008 crash The mindset required to survive big financial swings Why financial freedom is really about time freedom Joel also shares why new investors should focus on simple, structured deals instead of risky, high-leverage bets—and how discipline beats hype every time. About Joel Kraut Joel Kraut is a real estate investor, author, and operator with over 30 years of experience. He has flipped more than 100 homes, built rental portfolios across multiple states, and financed projects nationwide through his lending platform.

See what the team at The Successful Bookkeeper has on right now → Anne Napolitano started her firm a decade ago as a solopreneur with an accounting degree, a background as a controller for Hermès of Paris, and a stint as a personal chef. Today she runs a 10-person firm with a specialty niche in food and beverage — and she has learned, often the hard way, how to charge what her work is actually worth. This episode is a practical, honest conversation about building advisory services into a bookkeeping firm, pricing with confidence, and communicating value so clients never have to wonder what you do for them. Chapters [00:00] Anne's Background and Firm Journey [05:03] Early Mistakes and Hard Lessons [09:07] Building Advisory Into the Practice [12:24] Tools, Confidence, and Clean Data [14:33] Selling Advisory to Skeptical Clients [18:20] Segmenting Clients for Higher-Tier Work [20:42] Packaging and Proposals That Work [23:34] Pricing Courage and Recovering from Undercharging [28:19] Communicating Value Before Clients Leave [30:29] Pivotal Moments and What She'd Do Differently From Bookkeeping to Advisory: It Takes Time to Grow Into It Anne didn't launch as a full advisory firm on day one — the advisory side evolved as her confidence and team grew. She credits closing the books fast (her target is the 10th–15th of each month) as the foundation that makes advisory possible. "The faster we can get the bookkeeping done, that allows us 2 weeks at the end of the month to meet with clients and to do the advisory type of work that we really enjoy." Without clean, timely data, there's nothing to advise on. Selling Advisory When Clients Don't Know They Need It Many clients assume advisory is bundled into their basic bookkeeping fee. Anne's approach is to start with bookkeeping, build trust, and then show — not tell — what advisory can do. She uses dashboards, charts, and graphs in prospect calls, sometimes pulling analysis directly from a prospect's QuickBooks file before they've even signed. "We have found that that has been a game changer." Visual tools lower the barrier for clients who tune out a P&L but respond immediately to a trend line. Segmenting Clients for Higher-Tier Services Not every client is ready for advisory, and Anne stopped pretending otherwise. She segments roughly the top 15–30% of her client base into higher-tier engagements based on revenue size, reporting complexity, or multi-entity structures — not just headcount. Clients who don't start there often grow into it. "Some of the other clients move themselves into advisory over time. Either they grow or become more complex, or we've shown them what we can do for them — and by then we have a relationship, so they trust us." The Pricing Trap: Being a Recovering Underpricer Anne is direct about the pricing mistakes she's still working through. She uses value pricing (no hourly billing), offers three-tier proposal packages, and spells out scope precisely to avoid scope creep and client assumptions. But the real obstacle is internal. "I'm a recovering underpricer. You need to be willing and able for them to walk away. Because if they're not going to pay your price, it's not a good client for you." She also anchors pricing against the cost of a full-time hire — converting monthly fees to an annual figure so clients can compare apples to apples. Communicating Value Before Clients Drift Away Losing clients not because of bad work, but because clients didn't understand what was being done for them, was one of Anne's hardest lessons. Her fix: overcommunicate. Her team now sends monthly summaries through their client portal covering what was done, errors caught, fraud signals flagged, and money saved. "We don't always communicate to a client, and we found that that was a big mistake." She describes it as an iceberg — clients see the surface, but the firm's job is to make the work below the waterline visible. --- Links Mentioned Anne Napolitano on LinkedIn Anne Napolitano on Instagram: search Anne Napolitano The Balance Sheet — Anne's monthly newsletter (contact her via social media to subscribe) The Successful Bookkeeper Summit — this year's theme: Owning Your Authority PureBookkeeping.com — episode sponsor Woodard conferences and education (mentioned as a resource for advisory skill-building) --- About the Guest Anne Napolitano is the founder of Anne Napolitano Consulting, a modern accounting and advisory firm she has grown over 10 years from a solo practice to a 10-person team.

People. They’re the problem.
500 episodes of television is a number that stops people cold, and Jay Worth hit that milestone last year without slowing down. Worth came up through the pressure cooker of Digital Domain's commercial division, survived the 23-episode broadcast grind on J.J. Abrams' Bad Robot slate across Alias, Fringe, Lost, and Cloverfield, and helped define what prestige television VFX looks like on Westworld before most people knew what a volume stage was. Now co-producer on Fallout, he has spent three decades turning budget constraints and impossible schedules into a methodology that the biggest shows in streaming depend on. On Fallout Season 2, Worth breaks down how the show shot entirely in California, brought Raynault VFX in Montreal in for New Vegas, tackled the Deathclaw sequence using fire as the only light source on a volume stage packed with practical snow, and delivered 3,200 shots while staying laser-focused on world-building over spectacle. He also gets into his philosophy of getting into the writer's room on day one, why VFX diplomacy is a craft that needs to be taught, and how he thinks about AI as just another tool in the same way the industry once thought the volume stage would be a magic bullet.

To accomplish your dreams and your goals, you need courage. What holds us back from taking action isn't ability. It is fear rooted in limited beliefs. In this episode, Lisa explores why we shouldn't interpret fear as a time to stop, but as a time to keep going.

As Lisa watched the live stream of Alex's ascent, she was intrigued by his commentary on fear and courage. She outlines three important lessons she learned while watching. Lisa parallels Alex's ability to do things that scare most people to real-life situations, inspiring you to do what feels hard or uncertain. If you want to make changes in your life, but fear has you paralyzed, this episode is for you. Tune in to gain insights on releasing fear and letting courage take over so you can hit your goals.
