Headline: Managing Snakes and Kangaroos During Extreme Heat Guest: Jeremy ZakisExtreme heat drives snakes into homes seeking cool air, hiding in shoes and behind furniture. Official advice for spotting dangerous snakes is to stay calm, "grab a beer," and call a professional catcher. Meanwhile, kangaroos conserve energy by resting under trees on golf courses, observing humans without reacting

Buyers just got even more in control, and it's excellent news for investors. Homes are now sitting on the market for the longest time in a decade, with sellers accepting thousands less than their original list price. For those who have been waiting to buy their first or next investment property, this could be the sign that it's time to get in the game. But, with mortgage rates (slowly) coming down, will this window of opportunity last months or mere weeks? We're back with our January 2026 housing market update! Dave is getting into it all—mortgage rates, inventory, demand, and why investors are becoming so bullish heading into this new year. Think there's a housing crash on the way? Dave does his favorite thing—looks at data instead of guessing—to show some clear signs that those hoping for a crash will (unfortunately for them) be waiting quite a while. Demand is growing (steadily), and hungry homebuyers are itching to get back into the market. How much time do we have before steady appreciation returns? Stick around, we're getting into it in this housing market update! In This Episode We Cover Sellers are accepting less: How much should you be bidding on houses?  The best (and worst) housing markets in America (updated) Growing buyer demand and signs that the housing market (probably) won't crash Why mortgage rates reversed after falling below 6% earlier this month  Why investors are getting so bullish about rental properties in 2026  And So Much More!

Gen X and Millennials are set to inherit nearly $2.4 trillion in U.S. real estate over the next decade, and the impact is already being felt—especially in luxury housing markets. A new report from Coldwell Banker Global Luxury reveals that Americans aged 60 and older now control nearly two-thirds of U.S. wealth, fueling what's being called the "Silver Tsunami." As this massive wealth transfer accelerates, high-end real estate markets are seeing shifting demand, rising price points, and more legacy properties coming to market. According to reporting first highlighted by The Wall Street Journal, wealthy families are buying properties earlier, restructuring ownership through LLCs, and favoring flexible luxury condominiums over traditional co-ops—particularly in markets like New York City and South Florida. In this episode, Kathy Fettke breaks down what this generational wealth transfer means for luxury housing, real estate investors, and long-term market trends as Millennials prepare to inherit the largest share over the next 25 years.

This could seriously shake up the US housing market. President Trump recently outlined plans to crack down on big corporations, Wall Street firms, and hedge funds that have been scooping up single-family homes at scale. In short, the idea is to ban or severely limit institutional investors from dominating the residential housing market.On this episode of Investing in Real Estate, we're diving into the politics and economics of this proposal and its potential effects.

A memo says Immigration enforcement agents have been given the green light to use "administrative warrants" to enter people's homes and search for people they believe are in the country illegally. However, those warrants are not signed by a judge. Greg breaks down the legal concerns.

The memo authorizes ICE officers to use force to enter a residence based solely on a more narrow administrative warrant to arrest someone with a final order of removal, a move that advocates say collides with Fourth Amendment protections and upends years of advice given to immigrant communities.

What is it truly like for children growing up in divorced families? In this episode, I sit down with Bella Duncan, creator of A Kid With Two Homes, who gives us a rare and honest perspective on divorce from the child's point of view. Now an adult, Bella reflects on her own experiences and sheds light on the challenges kids often navigate silently when moving between two households. We dive into the real, everyday experiences children face, including why birthdays and holidays can feel complicated, the pressure of loyalty conflicts, adjusting to different rules and routines, and how assumptions and resentment can quietly shape their feelings. Bella also shares the unexpected skills kids develop—like organization and decision-making—and how self-awareness and resilience can help them feel seen and supported. Whether you're a parent, co-parent, or professional working with children of divorce, this episode offers insight into what kids really wish adults understood and practical ways we can do better. Bella's reflections are honest, relatable, and ultimately hopeful—reminding us that even in the middle of family transitions, children's voices matter.

FIDO: Nancy Martin and the Power of Keeping Pets in Homes Host Laura Reeves is joined by longtime friend and icon of the dog world, Nancy Martin—legendary breeder, professional handler and now visionary founder of FIDO: Friends Involved Dog Outreach. This episode is a powerful reminder of what our community can accomplish when passion meets purpose. After decades of success in the show ring, Nancy's retirement from handling didn't slow her down—it redirected her energy. What began as a simple act of compassion through a veterinary clinic grew into a groundbreaking mission: addressing pet food insecurity as a way to keep dogs out of shelters and in the homes that love them. From that idea, FIDO was born, along with the National Pet Assistance Network and No Pet Hungry America. Nancy shares how food insecurity is a household issue that directly impacts pets, why “wraparound services” matter more than blame, and how keeping families fed can prevent surrender before crisis hits. The results are staggering: over 6,000 households supported and more than 1.2 million meals provided in a single year. This conversation also dives into Nancy's national recognition—including the Oregon Humane Society's Diamond Collar Award and a Community Hero Award from the Oregon Ducks—and why those honors represent a shift in how purebred dog people can be seen as part of the solution. From mentoring future veterinarians to challenging long-held narratives about breeders and rescue, Nancy Martin is redefining advocacy in dogs. This episode is a must-listen for anyone who cares about the future of purebred dogs, community responsibility and meaningful, practical change.

Newt talks with Homes for Our Troops, President and CEO Brigadier General, (USA, Retired) Tom Landwermeyer and Yancy Baer, Major, U.S. Army, (Retired). Homes for Our Troops is a nonprofit organization dedicated to building and donating specially adapted custom homes for severely injured post-9/11 veterans across the United States. These homes are designed to restore freedom and independence to veterans who have suffered injuries such as limb amputations, paralysis, blindness, severe burns, and traumatic brain injuries, allowing them to focus on family, recovery, and rebuilding their lives. Homes for Our Troops builds homes in locations chosen by the veterans and maintains a relationship with them post-delivery to assist in their life rebuilding process. The organization has built homes in 46 states and is approaching the milestone of 500 homes. The homes feature more than 40 special adaptations, such as automatic doors, accessible cabinets, and roll-under counters, to accommodate the needs of veterans. The organization also provides financial planning and homeownership education. Community involvement is a significant aspect of the program, with local communities actively participating in welcoming veterans into their new homes. The organization emphasizes that supporting veterans is a duty of our country, and it aims to repay a small portion of the debt owed to those who have served.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It is our honor and privilege to have Charles on the podcast with us today.  Many of you have maybe already spoken to Charles. He serves as one of our Clarity Advisors here at Delight Your Marriage and has done an incredible job of listening to your stories and giving you next steps, but most importantly, giving you hope. What you might not know about Charles is that he spent many years as a very successful businessman. I mean, he was (and is!) a force! And that's what people saw on the outside: 40 years in business, two homes, active in ministry, a wife of 3o years, two grown children. Everything looked perfect. But it wasn't the full picture. "On Paper, We Had Everything… But We Were Just Roommates" The full picture was that Charles was in pain.  His marriage was suffering. He felt like they had become roommates and the intimacy and connection wasn't there. His daughter, after watching her parents fight yet again, brought up to him that "all you and mom do is fight". She didn't feel safe and their relationship was strained, so much so that she even mentioned she would prefer he not be the one to solely walk her down the aisle when the day came. There was pain, true pain.  That moment with his daughter became a turning point.  He cried out to God. And God answered. Finding the Delight Your Marriage Podcast Charles found the Delight Your Marriage podcast—and after only two episodes, he booked a Clarity Call and jumped in. What followed wasn't easy. It required humility. Repentance. Unlearning cultural "norms" that were never biblical to begin with. But what he discovered was sobering and freeing all at once: Being a provider is not the same as being present Strength without gentleness hardens the heart Leadership without humility blocks intimacy—with your spouse and with God And slowly—steadily—everything began to change. When a Daughter Finally Feels Safe One of the most profound transformations wasn't just in Charles' marriage—it was in his relationship with his daughter. Years earlier, she had told him, "Why can't you be like my friend's dad?" Instead of defending himself, Charles did something radically different. He listened. He apologized and owned the pain he had caused. And he stayed emotionally present instead of shutting down, like he had done in the past. That conversation marked the beginning of healing. Fast forward to this past Christmas, two years after starting this program, his daughter handed him a card. Inside, she wrote: "Every day you bless me so abundantly with peace and security of knowing you have me… I hope my future husband is even half of what you are to me." That card became the most valuable gift Charles has ever received, and he saw, even more, how the changes he had made changed the trajectory of his family. A Marriage Built on The Rock Charles often says something that shocks people: "I would give it all away for a shack on a rock if it meant having what we have now." Why? Because before, his marriage was built on cardboard and duct tape, as he says. Cultural assumptions, pride, and survival mode. Now, it's built on the Rock. Biblical wisdom. Daily repentance. Practical tools. Accountability. Peace. Life Now as a Clarity Advisor Charles' story doesn't end with his own marriage. Today, he serves as a Clarity Advisor, walking alongside other men and women who feel stuck, hopeless, or unsure where to begin. He's seen: Wives move back into homes after separation Pornography addictions broken Years-long intimacy restored Homes transformed by peace And now, pastors are bringing Delight Your Marriage Academy into their churches—because the need is everywhere, including globally. Final Encouragement Now, two years later, Charles' marriage is completely transformed, his relationship with his daughter is completely transformed, and he, himself, is completely transformed. God has truly turned mourning into dancing. This is not a one-off event. This is the God we serve–who heals marriages and changes lives, who heals hearts and minds, who redeems families and generations. He cares. He cares deeply about Charles and answered his cry.  And He cares about you. If you are waiting for an answer from God, maybe this is the answer. Maybe calling and taking that next step is the answer. We are rooting for you and we love you. God bless you! Blessings, The Delight Your Marriage Team PS - If you want to take the next step and chat with our incredible Clarity Advisors, like Charles, schedule a free Clarity Call here. We would love to talk with you. PPS - Here is a quote from a recent DYM Academy graduate:  "I thought this was well presented and very comprehensive.  The clarity of what women need to be safe, known and wholeheartedly cherished was spot on. I understood the basics but seeing it formalized was really beneficial to me. The listening skills and the way they were presented cannot be overstated."

The U.S. House has passed the Affordable HOMES Act in a bipartisan vote, a move supporters say could lower the cost of manufactured homes by as much as $10,000 per unit. In this episode of Real Estate News for Investors, Kathy Fettke breaks down what the bill does, why manufactured housing is central to the plan, and how restoring HUD's authority over energy standards could reduce regulatory costs and speed up housing production. We'll also look at what this legislation could mean for housing supply, affordability, and real estate investors — and why the bill's next stop in the Senate will be critical for determining its real-world impact.

Pantone's Color of the Year is usually interesting… but rarely practical. This year is different. In this episode of fig & farm (at home), we're talking about Pantone's 2026 Color of the Year: Cloud Dancer—a softly warm white that finally makes sense in real homes, real budgets, and real life. Cloud Dancer isn't about trends for the sake of trends. It's about balance, contrast, and longevity—and it works beautifully whether your home leans neutral, bold, traditional, or eclectic. Inside this episode, you'll learn: Why Cloud Dancer is more usable than past Color of the Year picks How this slightly warm white creates contrast against bold patterns and statement pieces Why it's the perfect companion to warm earthen tones, natural woods, and organic textures How it helps honor heirloom pieces instead of competing with them Why designers are leaning into sustainable luxury—and how Cloud Dancer supports that shift How to use it to brighten dark corners without feeling stark or cold Ways to apply this color in both big and small ways—from walls and trim to textiles and accents We'll also talk about how Cloud Dancer fits into a cohesive color formula, helping you neutralize busy prints, ground dramatic furniture (yes, even bold couches), and create flow from room to room without starting over. If you've ever ignored Pantone's Color of the Year because it felt unrealistic, trendy, or too risky—this episode may change your mind.   // Links mentioned in show: // Become a Design Bestie by joining the newsletter: https://bit.ly/designbestie Email: hello@figandfarmathome.com Website: https://figandfarmathome.com Join The Collective (monthly membership): https://www.figandfarmathome.com/thecollective Book a Decorating SOS Coaching Call: https://www.figandfarmathome.com/decorating-sos Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/figandfarm/ FREE Facebook Community: https://www.bit.ly/design101group  

Eastern Correspondent, Samantha Libreri reports on the redesignation of land by Fingal County Council to develop a major urban quarter with capacity for thousands of new homes.

Interior designer Christine Vroom joins us to discuss the art and craft of creating timeless homes. In this conversation, Christine shares how she defines timeless design—yrooted in history and the evolution of color, materials, and architectural elements across eras—and how she protects her work from fleeting trends. She reveals the common misconceptions about interior design, particularly the "TV show myth" that beautiful spaces happen overnight. Behind every stunning room is meticulous planning, vendor coordination, tradesmen management, and countless unforeseen details that never make it to screen.Christine emphasizes her role as a storyteller and guide rather than simply a designer. She explains how she extracts client personality and lifestyle through intentional conversation and genuine connection, turning their stories into physical spaces that feel deeply personal. Her philosophy of honesty with clients—saying "no" gently but firmly when an idea doesn't serve the overall vision—has built trust and long-term relationships. She also discusses the inseparable relationship between indoor and outdoor design, how travel (particularly to Sevilla, Spain) has shaped her aesthetic, and the emotional sanctuary that painting provides as a counterbalance to client-focused design work.Throughout the interview, Christine reflects on a pivotal challenging project early in her career that taught her the importance of documentation, scope clarity, and "staying in her lane." Rather than seeing this as failure, she frames it as growth and now uses those hard-won lessons to mentor her team. Her approach to luxury is inspired by fine dining and hospitality: it's not just about beautiful objects, but about making clients feel special through attention, listening, and personalized touches. As she looks to the future, Christine is launching a tile product line inspired by her time in Sevilla—a testament to how inspiration, curiosity, and a willingness to evolve keeps her work fresh and her spirit engaged.

When Daniel Roselle stepped into the role of Executive Director at the Humane Society of Ventura County, he inherited more than a job title. He took on stewardship of a 93-year-old institution at a moment when animal welfare is rapidly evolving — shifting away from a shelter-only mindset toward community-based solutions that prioritize prevention, education, and long-term care.In this wide-ranging conversation, Roselle lays out his vision for the future of HSVC, including programs designed to remove barriers to adoption, expand training and outreach, and — most critically — keep pets in homes whenever possible. From behavioral support and access to veterinary care to humane education and community partnerships, his approach emphasizes systems that support both animals and the people who love them.Roselle's perspective is shaped by an unconventional life path. Having lived in multiple countries and not setting foot in the United States until age 20, he brings a global lens to questions of animal welfare — examining how different cultures relate to animals, how belief systems influence behavior, and why empathy must be paired with realism. That perspective leads the conversation into unexpected but thoughtful territory, including discussions of religious cults, invasive species, and the ethical complexities of conservation.We also talk about one of the most overlooked — and rewarding — acts of compassion: adopting senior and geriatric dogs, whose capacity for connection often deepens with age. Throughout, Roselle makes the case that animal welfare isn't just about rescue; it's about belonging, stability, and community responsibility.We did not talk about Hawaii's nene geese, English archers at Agincourt, or the New York Times cooking app.This episode is a thoughtful look at where animal welfare has been — and where it needs to go next.

Episode Description: What's the one superpower you need to survive in your family? That's the thought-provoking question that launches this episode of The JB and Sandy Show, where Sandy, JB, and Tricia invite listeners into their world of quirky household dynamics, Austin oddities, and unforgettable local stories.The episode kicks off with updates on Austin's iconic Butler Hike and Bike Trail, now sporting new mile markers and maps to help both seasoned locals and curious visitors navigate the city's scenic loops. JB shares insider tips on the best routes, while Sandy marvels at the trail's vibrant community—where you might spot everything from fencing enthusiasts to falconers. “You look like you're out here every single day and I'm just figuring my way to the Stevie Ray Vaughan statue,” Sandy jokes, capturing the spirit of Austin's outdoor scene.But the heart of the show is a hilarious and heartfelt roundtable: What superpower do you need to survive in the JB and Sandy household? Sandy claims invisibility until Tricia's had her morning coffee (“Otherwise, I might get eaten alive like a grizzly bear!”), JB reveals his role as the gatekeeper of all passwords and the family's food forager, and Tricia proudly owns her omniscience—knowing where every lost item is, from keys to purple pencils. “The ability for a mom's brain to know all the things is incredible,” she says, as JB compares her to a real-life Terminator, scanning and storing every detail.Memorable moments abound, from the relatable struggle of getting teens out the door (“When I say hurry, that means move your body faster!”) to the universal debate over the snooze button. The hosts share laughs, gentle ribbing, and genuine insight into the patience, organization, and humor it takes to keep a household running.The episode wraps with a celebration of Austin's enduring weirdness: the 37th Street neighborhood's election of a four-legged mayor, Mo Bamba—a pug-chihuahua mix with a snaggle tooth and a campaign slogan, “He won't just fight for you, he'll bark at you!” With over 12,000 votes cast, Mo Bamba joins a tradition of animal mayors, reminding everyone that Austin's spirit is alive and well. Notable quotes and moments:“To be invisible is a big one on mine.”“I am the gatekeeper of all schedules and all items. My superpower is omniscience.”“He won't just fight for you, he'll bark at you!”This episode is a joyful blend of family humor, local pride, and the kind of stories that make Austin—and the JB and Sandy Show—truly unique.Call to Action: Ready for a dose of laughter, local flavor, and relatable family chaos?

The Industry Relations Podcast is now available on your favorite podcast player! Overview Rob and Greg dive into a packed week in real estate: the Compass–Anywhere deal officially closes, CoStar announces major spending cuts for Homes.com, and the recently settled Top Agent Network lawsuit raises big questions about the future of Clear Cooperation. They debate what these moves mean for MLSs, brokers, and portals—and preview the industry shake-ups still to come. Key Takeaways MLS Reset is sold out, with Rob returning as a featured speaker. Compass–Anywhere deal closes, surprising some who expected DOJ interference. CoStar cuts Homes.com spending by 35%, signaling a shift in strategy but not an exit from residential. Debate over Homes.com's future: Will CoStar pivot, partner with brokerages, or rethink its model? Top Agent Network settlement surfaces new guidance from NAR, suggesting TAN may not violate Clear Cooperation—potentially reshaping private-listing practices. Rob and Greg strongly disagree on the long-term impact of the TAN news and the strength of private networks. Upcoming injunction ruling (Zillow vs. NAR/DOJ context) may matter less than expected depending on how Compass positions itself.

Your home might be polluting more than your car, and the fix is closer than you think. In this episode of Disruptive CEO Nation, I'm joined by Stephen Lake, co-founder and CEO of Jetson Home, a company making home electrification simpler and significantly more affordable. We talk about why heating and cooling is one of the biggest decarbonization opportunities, what's been holding heat pumps back in North America, and how Jetson Home is scaling fast across the U.S. and Canada. Stephen also shares the founder's lessons behind rapid growth, the importance of building scalable systems early, and why he's committed to mentoring the next generation of entrepreneurs. Here are the highlights: -The hidden emissions story: Why residential heating and cooling is a massive climate lever, and why most homeowners underestimate their home's footprint. -Why heat pumps haven't taken off here (yet): The “green premium,” confusing rebates, and an opaque contractor process that makes switching feel like a major project. -Jetson Home's “make it dead easy” model: Online, upfront pricing in minutes, a remote quoting process, and a streamlined install designed to get homes converted fast. -Scaling without breaking: How Stephen thinks about the tension between growth and chaos, and why the team prioritized systems, tools, and repeatable processes from day one. -Founder mindset + giving back: Lessons from building his first company North Inc. (and selling to Google), launching Jetson Home in a completely different industry, and the role mentorship programs played in shaping his leadership.   About the guest: Stephen Lake is the co-founder and CEO of Jetson Home, a home electrification company making the shift to all-electric systems more affordable and accessible. A mechatronics engineering graduate from the University of Waterloo, he previously co-founded North Inc. (formerly Thalmic Labs) and led the development of augmented-reality and wearable-tech products before the company was acquired by Google in 2020. In 2024, he turned his focus to climate tech and launched Jetson Home, which rapidly scaled with hubs in Vancouver, Colorado, and Massachusetts and has installed nearly 1,000 proprietary heat pump systems in homes. For his work advancing clean energy solutions, Lake was named to the 2025 TIME100 Climate list.   Connect with Stephen: Website: https://jetsonhome.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/slake/   Connect with Allison: Feedspot has named Disruptive CEO Nation as one of the Top 25 CEO Podcasts on the web.

What starts as a casual encounter ends in a shattered sense of safety, when an online date becomes the bait for a chilling crime spree in the heart of London. Two men used Grindr to get into gay men's homes, leaving victims robbed, violated, and forever changed.In a disturbing UK case of 2024–2025, 22-year-old Rahmat Khan Mohammadi and 21-year-old Mohammed Bilal Hotak built fake profiles on the gay dating app Grindr to target unsuspecting men, arranging meetups at their London homes and then tricking them into unlocking their phones to play music on YouTube before stealing phones, cash and personal data and mobile banking apps.. The Metropolitan Police uncovered a pattern of 35 burglaries and 20 related frauds affecting at least 22 victims, revealing how digital trust can be weaponized.

On January 7, 2025, the Palisades and Eaton Fires erupted, eventually burning down more than 16,000 structures and killing at least 31 people, becoming among the most destructive and deadly wildfires in California's history.  Two Wirecutter writers, Gregory Han and Mike Cohen, lived through the Eaton fire. Both lived in Altadena, just outside Los Angeles. Gregory's home was damaged, while Mike's burned to the ground. They collaborated on an article sharing their biggest lessons of recovery, which Wirecutter published last July, as part of our emergency preparation coverage.  Now, in a special podcast series, they are sharing the biggest lessons they've learned from the past year–—and what they can teach you about how to prepare for a disaster.  Unfortunately, climate change is making extreme weather events more frequent, more intense, and more unpredictable. In the last year alone, we've seen cataclysmic floods in the Texas Hill Country, deadly tornadoes in many parts of the U.S., and increasing flash floods across the country, just to name a few. No one is completely insulated from these types of events.  In this first episode, we'll introduce you to Gregory and Mike, and why they think it's imperative to invest in your community before a disaster.  You can listen to parts two and three of this series here. Part three will be published on Jan. 12. Actionable steps you can take from this episode:Invest in your community before a disaster. Information can be hard to come by during and in the immediate aftermath of a disaster. This is when knowing your neighbors can be invaluable. Both Gregory and Mike relied on neighbors and others in their community for information before, during, and after the fires. They've continued to share resources with this community as they've worked toward recovery over the past year.Create an easy way to communicate with your neighbors. This could be a text chain or a group chat–through something like WhatsApp or GroupMe. Maybe you're already involved with a group that may eventually help in an emergency. Mike's neighborhood thread started as a group of local dog owners before the fire.Join a volunteer organization in your community. After the fires, Gregory joined a group to do brush cleanup, which has helped deepen his connection with the people who live close to him. You can find out more about Gregory Han on his website and on Instagram @typefiend Additional reading:The LA Wildfires Devastated the Homes of Two Wirecutter Writers.
