In this episode, Manna founder Bobby Healy explains how his company designs and operates autonomous electric delivery drones, achieving over 300,000 flights and 97% availability in harsh Irish weather by running operations like a low-cost airline focused on high utilization and efficiency. He discusses why a recent U.S. policy shift and forthcoming Part 108 regulations prompted Manna to go all-in on America, starting with a citywide drone delivery mesh in Tulsa, Oklahoma, chosen for its suburban density, aerospace ecosystem, and pro-drone stance. Bobby outlines why he sees players like Wing, Zipline, and Amazon more as fellow builders in a massive, non–winner-take-all market, and why partnering with aggregators such as DoorDash and Uber Eats is the most efficient go-to-market path. He also covers Manna's recent $50 million fundraise to scale manufacturing, operations, and R&D, and shares his 10-year vision in which drone delivery becomes the dominant, far cheaper, and faster last-mile solution for tens of millions of U.S. suburban homes. Highlights from their conversation include: Introducing Bobby Healy and Manna Overview (0:29) Making Drone Delivery Work Commercially Like a Low-Cost Airline (1:34) Why Now Is the Time for Manna To Enter the U.S. Market (3:28) Why Tulsa, Oklahoma Is Manna's U.S. Launch City (6:19) Competing With Wing, Zipline, Amazon, and Other Drone Players (8:04) Role of DoorDash, Uber Eats, and Aggregators in Manna's Strategy (11:24) Operational Playbook for Launching New Drone Cities (15:23) How Manna Will Use Its Recent $50 Million Fundraise (17:51) Ten-Year Vision for Drone-First Last-Mile Delivery in the U.S. (19:19) Final Thoughts and Takeaways (21:18) Dynamo Ventures is a venture firm backing founders upgrading the physical economy.

Most of us do not wake up intending to serve money. Yet financial pressures, ambitions, and fears can quietly begin shaping our choices. Before long, money may influence where we find security, how we measure success, and what we believe will bring us peace. Jesus speaks directly to this danger in Luke 16:13: “You cannot serve God and money.” Money was never meant to be our master. But when it is placed in its proper role, it can become a useful tool for serving God, caring for our families, and blessing others. So, what does a biblical approach to money look like? Money Is a Gift to Receive With Gratitude The Bible speaks frequently about wealth, possessions, generosity, and stewardship. One of its clearest principles is that money is not the goal. It is a resource entrusted to us by God. Ecclesiastes 5:19 says: “Everyone also to whom God has given wealth and possessions and power to enjoy them…this is the gift of God.” God is not opposed to provision or the appropriate enjoyment of what He provides. His gifts should be received with gratitude rather than guilt. We see a picture of God's abundant provision when Jesus feeds the five thousand in Matthew 14. Christ not only meets the immediate needs of the crowd, but the disciples also collect twelve baskets of leftovers. The point is not indulgence or excess. It is that God is a generous provider who delights in caring for His people. Everything we possess ultimately comes from Him. Recognizing that truth allows us to enjoy His provision without believing we own it independently of Him. Money Reveals What We Trust Although money can be a gift, it also carries spiritual significance because it reveals the condition of our hearts. 1 Timothy 6:10 warns that “the love of money is a root of all kinds of evils.” Paul does not say that money itself is evil. The danger arises when we love money or look to it for something only God can provide. Money cannot give us lasting security, establish our identity, or bring genuine peace. When we expect it to do those things, a useful tool begins to take the place of our faithful Provider. Every financial decision can reveal something about our trust. Our spending may expose what we value. Our saving may show whether we are preparing wisely or attempting to control an uncertain future. Our generosity may reveal whether we believe God will continue to provide. The question is not simply, “What am I doing with my money?” It is also, “What is my money doing to my heart?” Money Is Meant to Serve God's Purposes Ephesians 4:28 gives us a broader vision for our work and resources. Paul instructs believers to work honestly “so that he may have something to share with anyone in need.” We do not earn merely to accumulate. God enables us to work so that we can provide for our responsibilities, prepare wisely for the future, and share with others. That perspective transforms the purpose of our financial lives. Work becomes more than survival or personal advancement. It becomes one way we participate in God's generosity. Saving becomes thoughtful preparation rather than an attempt to eliminate every uncertainty. Investing can become an act of stewardship when it supports future responsibilities and generosity. This purpose often expresses itself through ordinary decisions: choosing to give even when the budget feels limited, avoiding unnecessary debt, setting aside money for future needs, or creating enough margin to respond when someone needs help. Those individual choices may feel small, but over time they shape both our finances and our hearts. Money becomes especially useful when it flows outward in service rather than being gathered inward as a source of identity or control. Money Must Remain a Servant When Jesus said we cannot serve both God and money, He was establishing the proper order of our allegiance. Money must remain a servant rather than becoming our master. In his sermon “The Use of Money,” John Wesley described money as a valuable gift when it is used in the hands of God's people. It can feed the hungry, provide clothing for those in need, and offer shelter to the traveler and stranger. That is a beautiful picture of money placed in its proper role. It is not worshiped, feared, or pursued as an end in itself. It is directed toward purposes that reflect God's love and generosity. Money may help us accomplish many good things, but it is never qualified to lead our lives. Only God deserves our trust, devotion, and obedience. Money Is Temporary, but Its Use Can Matter Eternally 1 Timothy 6:7 reminds us, “We brought nothing into the world, and we cannot take anything out of the world.” Every dollar we manage is temporary. Homes, accounts, investments, and possessions will eventually pass from our hands. Yet the way we use those temporary resources can have lasting significance. When we remember that money is temporary, we can begin to hold it more loosely. We can enjoy God's provision without being controlled by it. We can plan wisely without placing our hope in wealth. And we can give generously because we know that God—not our bank account—is our ultimate provider. Before your next decision about spending, saving, investing, or giving, consider asking a different question: Lord, how can this money serve You and others? Money is never the destination. It is simply a tool God places in our hands to accomplish purposes greater than ourselves. This is a central theme of Our Ultimate Treasure, a 21-day devotional designed to help you treat money as a tool rather than a treasure so that it can find its proper place in your life. You can order a copy—or copies for your church or small group—at FaithFi.com/Shop. On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions: My father gave me $75,000 after my mother passed away. My husband and I are nearing retirement with no emergency savings, about $140,000 in personal-loan debt from his failed business, plus a mortgage and car loan. We spend nearly $10,000 a month. After giving, should we use the money to build savings, pay down debt, or invest some of it? My husband and I are approaching 65, qualify for Social Security, and plan to keep working. I'm also eligible for a teacher pension. Should I claim Social Security now, delay it, or rely on my pension first? Would a Certified Kingdom Advisor® (CKA®) be the right person to help us evaluate our options? My father-in-law recently passed away, and I'm helping my mother-in-law with her finances. She has about $11,000 across six credit cards. Some issuers have offered to freeze the accounts and stop the interest while she repays them. Should she accept those arrangements or consolidate the balances into one loan? Her Social Security benefit is small, and my father-in-law's check has stopped. Could she qualify for a survivor benefit based on his record?

For a look into the numbers published by the CSO, Gail Conway from our Business Desk.

Plans for the development of a landbank providing eight serviced sites for new private homes in an East Clare village will be unveiled this evening. Clare County Council is holding an open public consultation event in Feakle Community Centre today from 6pm to 8pm. The development - which is the second of its kind in Clare - is funded by the Department of Housing's Ready to Build Scheme and will include a new service road with associated footpaths, public amenity open space and required site services. Maghera Fianna Fáil Councillor Pat Hayes has been telling Clare FM's Seán Lyons the project will serve people who've rarely been considered until now.

Recorded live at the Rocky Mountain Catholic Home Educators Conference (June 20, 2026)Our homes are not just places where we live—they are places where souls are formed.In this keynote from the 2026 Rocky Mountain Catholic Home Educators Conference, Samantha Stephenson invites parents to see their vocation with fresh eyes. In a culture saturated with anxiety, distraction, algorithms, and competing voices, mothers and fathers are called to become guardians of their homes—carefully discerning what enters their family's imagination, habits, and hearts.Drawing from Scripture, Catholic tradition, and practical wisdom for everyday family life, Samantha explores how we can cultivate homes rooted in truth, beauty, goodness, and peace. Rather than reacting to every cultural trend or technological advance, Christian families are called to become intentional communities that form children capable of recognizing the voice of the Good Shepherd.Whether you're homeschooling, raising young children, or simply longing for a more peaceful home, this talk offers encouragement and practical tools for reclaiming your family's attention, imagination, and mission.In this episode:Why parents are the primary formators of their children's hearts and mindsHow modern media and technology compete for our attentionLearning to recognize the difference between God's voice and the voices of fear, consumerism, and distractionBuilding a home centered on truth, beauty, and goodnessCreating habits that foster peace instead of anxietyPractical ways to cultivate silence, prayer, and wonder in family lifeWhy the culture of your home matters more than the culture around youIf this episode encouraged you, please consider subscribing, leaving a review, and sharing it with another parent who could use a little encouragement.Connect with Samantha

Alex White, Chairperson of the Climate Change Advisory Council, on the council's calls for faster retrofitting and greater investment in clean energy.

You'd think the dirtiest air you breathe all day is outside, but Mike Feldstein showed me it's the opposite. The average home is usually 5 to 10 times dirtier than the air outside, and since the 1970s we've built homes airtight for energy efficiency, so every new couch, rug, and coat of paint off-gasses right where you live. In a study of 150 people, just cleaning the bedroom air got them 25 more minutes of sleep a night and 18% more deep sleep. If you've been waking up tired, foggy, or congested and can't figure out why, don't start with your bloodwork. Start with the tank you're living in.

 New construction can create enormous opportunities for real estate professionals, but many agents avoid it entirely. The information is fragmented. Builders can be difficult to reach. Agents may spend hours researching communities, requesting availability, driving between developments, and assembling information for buyers. For agents interested in working with international clients, the barriers can be even greater. But what happens when agents have a simpler way to present those opportunities? In this Best Of episode, we revisit a conversation with Christian Calusa, a real estate professional and the founder of NEO. Christian explains why so many agents want to sell new construction or work globally but do not know where to begin. You'll also learn: Why many agents avoid selling new construction What prevents real estate professionals from pursuing international buyers How a new agent reportedly turned an Uber conversation into a $10.2 million sale Why a personalized landing page can become a lead-generation tool How agents can build a niche around relocation and new construction Why educating buyers before a property tour can save everyone time How technology can support relationships without replacing the REALTOR®     Guest Bio Christian Calusa is the CEO and Founder of NEO.

Send us Fan MailHe went from a foreclosed first home to negotiating $20M-plus deals in the Las Vegas luxury real estate market and he didn't get there by pretending it was easy. We sit down with Kamron, founder and CEO of Luxury Estates International (LEI), to unpack the setbacks that forced him to rebuild twice, the habits that kept him in the game, and the moments that reshaped his entire career trajectory. We get specific about what actually works when the market turns: how he moved from open houses and early struggle into the REO and bank-owned property wave, what it felt like to scale fast, and why losing that business exposed the risks of relying on one income stream. Kamron shares the money lessons most high earners learn too late, including taxes, saving, and why passive income matters if you want to survive real estate cycles without burning out. Then we shift into the world of high-end clients and multimillion-dollar listings. Kamron explains why luxury is not just a price point, it is language and credibility: understanding architects, materials, finishes, and smart home technology so you can speak with confidence in rooms full of accomplished people. We also talk about the Las Vegas luxury boom, feeder markets like California and Seattle, iconic communities like The Ridges and Summit Club, and why he built LEI as an independent boutique brokerage with a long-term vision for a trusted international network. If you care about entrepreneurship, sales, luxury branding, or the Las Vegas housing market, hit play and take notes.

Robert Howell turns $20K land deals into new manufactured homes for first-time buyers.Robert Howell runs a land home package business, buying raw land and putting brand new manufactured homes on it, structured to qualify for conventional HUD, VA, or USDA financing. He started with a $10,000 house in Memphis and no real estate background, and has grown to 50 deals last year with 100 planned this year. In this conversation, Robert breaks down how the land home model works, why he holds mobile home parks separately for long term, tax advantaged income through cost segregation, and how he thinks about profit and mission as the same goal rather than a trade-off.How land home packages generate $30K to $50K profit per dealHow mobile home parks and cost segregation build passive, tax sheltered incomeHow land pricing works in the $20K to $40K range, and what changes itThe two step process to find your first deal this weekWhy Robert believes profit and mission aren't in conflictGuest bio: Robert Howell is the founder of Howell and Sons and the Land Home League, focused on scaling affordable manufactured housing across the Carolinas, Georgia, and Tennessee.Links:Learn more about Robert's work at howellandsons.com#RealEstateInvesting #ManufacturedHousing #MobileHomeParks #AffordableHousing #LandInvesting #CostSegregation #PassiveIncome #RealDealChat #HUDFinancing #RealEstateInvestor #TaxStrategy #FirstTimeHomeownerWork With RealDealCrewIf you're already closing deals but your intake, follow-up, or visibility feels inconsistent, here are two ways to go deeper:Take the Deal Intake AssessmentSee how resilient your current operation actually is.→ https://assessment.realdealcrew.comBook a Fit CallIf you want to explore what a fully system-driven deal flow looks like, let's talk.→ https://realdealcrew.com/bookLIKE • SHARE • JOIN • REVIEWWebsiteApple PodcastsYouTubeYouTube MusicSpotifyAmazon MusicFacebookTwitterInstagram

Should families in El Zonte, El Salvador who've never owned anything pay their mortgage in Bitcoin, or does charity work better when it's free? New Story bet on the mortgage, and 122 families are about to become homeowners because of it. Mike Peterson sits down with Renato Salazar (@HolaIAmRenato) to talk about the project turning some of the most expensive land in El Salvador into first-time property ownership for families who've been living in shacks and on land they don't own.Renato explains why charging a small mortgage beats giving homes away. Paying every month builds financial education, and once families hit a payment, they start thinking about a motorcycle or a small pupuseria next to the house. The nonprofit has built almost 1,000 homes in El Salvador, and the pattern repeats: homeownership turns new neighbors into a community with its own local economy, and owning land in El Zonte means these families can build generational wealth for the first time.The payment rails are where maxis will lean in. Families scan a QR code from their phone or a K1 Bitcoin ATM and pay using tools built by Salvadoran companies Tianki and Blink, with WhatsApp notifications and a dashboard that shows New Story who's falling behind so they can help. Many of these families are learning to use email for the first time, so the project is driving a digital transformation in a community that started with voice notes.Then the conversation turns to legacy banking in Bitcoin country. A banker told Renato that any company with Bitcoin in its name goes to the blacklist, credit card payments stack up to 12% in fees while the Bitcoin page cost cents to run, and you still can't pay payroll taxes in Bitcoin in the nation that made it legal tender. They close with Stay at Bitcoin Beach, the vacation rentals running on a Bitcoin standard anyway: Punta Mango Villas open seven months and orange-pilling curious guests, plus the new Bitcoin Beach Suites in El Zonte, walking distance from the beach and priced for Bitcoiners who'd rather stack sats than splurge.If this episode made you want to pay a mortgage by scanning a QR code, or at least book a surf trip, subscribe, share it with a friend, and drop a comment.

We've reached the midway point of 2026, and with six months of housing market data to pull from, one thing is clear: the headlines don't match reality. The media is full of economic uncertainty, global conflict, and even housing crash predictions. But the actual data points to something else entirely. The 2026 housing market? It's surprisingly stable. No, there isn't a ton of activity. Interest rates remain elevated. We're still in the “Great Stall.” But things are more predictable. And that's all investors need to make informed decisions. Not to mention, there's a third factor—a silver lining—that not nearly enough real estate investors are paying attention to. You won't see it reflected in the data, but investors are scooping up real estate deals at massive discounts. To be clear, this isn't happening in every market. But if it's happening in yours—or a market you're targeting—the next six months could be your window to buy rental properties at prices we might not see again. In This Episode We Cover Why homes are selling for much less than the average sale price suggests The single biggest opportunity for real estate investors in 2026 The markets with the highest percentage of seller concessions right now Updated risk report: what's the likelihood of a housing crash? The often-overlooked benefits of buying in a “boring” housing market And So Much More!
