Recapturing Freedom and Scaling Past Growth Plateaus with John CavendishIn a recent episode of The Thoughtful Entrepreneur Podcast, host Josh Elledge sat down with John Cavendish, Strategic Advisor, serial entrepreneur, and founder performance consultant at johncavendish.com, to examine the distinct operational and psychological plateaus that emerge for experienced business leaders. John, a veteran agency builder and NLP master practitioner who has executed multiple successful exits, details how second-decade founders frequently become trapped by their own success—spread thin across competing income streams, complex service lines, and unrewarding hustle cycles. This conversation provides an essential strategic guide for seasoned business owners looking to eliminate operational friction, refine their core high-ticket offers, optimize founder-led sales pipelines, and build a conversion-ready digital ecosystem that restores genuine personal freedom.The Second-Decade Scaling Blueprint: Simplifying Complex Offer Structures and Reclaiming Founder FreedomThe primary bottleneck holding back experienced entrepreneurs who have been in business for a decade or more is rarely a lack of work ethic, but rather an accumulation of operational bloat and fractured strategic focus. John Cavendish explains that second-decade founders routinely default to managing multiple service lines, side ventures, or low-margin offers, which dilutes executive energy and caps overall business valuation. To overcome this plateau, business leaders must execute a ruthless focus audit—identifying the single core offer capable of scaling to high-net revenue and eliminating or delegating every non-essential project. Transitioning from fragmented, hourly, or low-tier consulting arrangements to high-ticket, retainer-based structures allows founders to dramatically increase monthly recurring revenue while working with a smaller, more manageable client roster.Building a predictable, high-converting growth engine requires replacing internal assumptions with a discovery-driven approach to product development and sales qualification. Founders often fall into the trap of designing complex service packages in isolation, only to find the market unresponsive to their messaging. By conducting structured discovery conversations with qualified prospective clients, executives can pinpoint precise pain points, refine offer positioning based on direct feedback, and establish clear buyer alignment before building backend delivery systems. Furthermore, tightening pre-call qualification filters ensures that founder-led sales calls are reserved strictly for high-intent prospects, improving conversion metrics and protecting executive bandwidth from low-probability sales conversations.Ultimately, turning media visibility into enterprise growth demands constructing a conversion-ready ecosystem that converts passive audience attention into owned lead infrastructure. Business leaders who participate in podcast guesting or executive media appearances must refrain from delivering complete, DIY instructional guides during interviews, focusing instead on building trust and offering clear calls-to-action that direct listeners to high-value lead magnets. Directing audience traffic into structured email nurture sequences creates a direct relationship with prospective clients, allowing the business to continuously educate and convert leads into core retainer offers. When simple offer structures, discovery-driven sales qualification, disciplined executive focus, and conversion-oriented media funnels are synthesized into a single operational architecture, founders successfully eliminate business plateaus, protect profit margins, and predictably scale enterprise value.About John CavendishJohn Cavendish is a Strategic Advisor, serial entrepreneur, NLP master practitioner, and elite performance coach for seasoned business owners. Drawing from extensive experience building and exiting multiple companies, as well as advanced training in executive performance and neuro-linguistic programming, John specializes in helping second-decade founders break through revenue plateaus. He is a recognized growth strategist dedicated to helping experienced leaders simplify their offer suites, optimize sales funnels, and design businesses that deliver financial and personal freedom.About John Cavendish Advisoryjohncavendish.com serves as the strategic advisory platform and executive consulting home for John Cavendish, engineered to support experienced founders and business owners seeking high-leverage growth.

By standardizing internal offer governance, refining sales qualification frameworks, and building structured media funnels, business leaders can transform an overwhelming, complex business into a highly profitable, self-sustaining growth engine.More from The Thoughtful Entrepreneur

A local real estate website says interest from Australian buyers has surged following tax changes across the Tasman.

Should You Invest in Vancouver, Montreal or Laval? Plus the 2 Numbers Wayne Uses to Analyze Deals Can you find a good rental property in Montreal or Laval? Should you invest in Vancouver? What numbers actually matter when analyzing a rental property? And if you already bought a bad deal, should you hold it and hope it recovers, or sell it and move on? Today's episode of the Canadian Real Estate Investing Morning Show is another investor Q&A covering exactly those questions. Wayne and Gabby break down how to evaluate a market, how borrowed down-payment funds affect cash flow, why Wayne would personally avoid certain provinces even when the numbers appear to work, and the two metrics he actually uses to compare real estate deals. The main message: Don't force a market to work. Find the market, property type and deal that actually fit your investment criteria. Can You Cash Flow in Montreal or Laval? A listener from Laval, Quebec asks whether it is realistic to find a property in Laval or Montreal that meets Wayne's cash-flow criteria. Wayne says it may be possible. But instead of starting with one predetermined property type, investors should study the entire market. Look at: Apartment condos Townhouse condos Duplexes Single-family houses Houses with secondary suites Small multifamily Larger multifamily Then compare purchase prices across different neighbourhoods with the rents those properties can realistically achieve. The goal is to become a master of the market. You need to know: What different property types cost. What different neighbourhoods cost. What tenants will pay. What areas attract stronger tenants. Which property types produce the best rent-to-price relationship. Only then can you determine which opportunities deserve deeper investigation. Don't Start With the Strategy and Force the Market The listener specifically mentions wanting to purchase a plex. Wayne's approach would be slightly different. Instead of deciding: "I want to buy a plex." Start with: "Which asset type in this city produces the best combination of cash flow, tenant profile, risk and long-term potential?" Maybe that is a plex. Maybe it is a townhouse. Maybe it is a suited house. Maybe it is something completely different. Do not force the property type. Follow the numbers. Borrowing Your Down Payment From Home Equity The listener is also considering borrowing against their existing home to fund the down payment. Wayne likes the concept of taking otherwise unused equity and redeploying it into another productive asset. But there is an obvious trade-off. Borrowing the down payment creates additional debt. Additional debt means additional monthly interest. That increases the risk. If the investment property itself produces $500 per month in cash flow but the borrowed down payment costs $300 per month to service, the investor's actual financial position is very different. That needs to be considered. Look at the Entire Portfolio When investors use equity from one property to fund another, Wayne sometimes prefers looking at the cash flow of the entire portfolio instead of judging only the new property in isolation. Maybe one property produces excellent cash flow. Another is tighter. Together, the portfolio may still be healthy. The question becomes: Does the entire portfolio still pass the cash-flow test and remain resilient? Borrowing money to scale increases potential profits. But it also increases risk. The goal is finding the right balance. Borrowed Investment Funds May Be Tax Deductible Gabby also points out an important tax consideration. When money is borrowed and used for qualifying investment purposes, the interest may be deductible. That can reduce the true after-tax cost of the borrowed funds. Investors should confirm the exact treatment with a qualified accountant based on their specific circumstances. Why Wayne Still Wouldn't Choose Quebec This is where Wayne's answer changes. Could somebody potentially find a property in Quebec that produces good cash flow? Yes. Would Wayne personally want to operate his rental-property business there? No. The issue is the landlord and tenant laws. Wayne views real estate as a business. And if the jurisdiction makes it unnecessarily difficult to operate that business, enforce agreements or manage risk, that becomes a major negative. Even if the numbers work. For Wayne, that can be enough to eliminate the market. A Great Deal in the Wrong Province Can Still Be the Wrong Deal Wayne compares Quebec with other provinces where investors have historically found strong deals. The purchase price might work. The rent might work. The appreciation potential might work. But if the operating environment creates significantly more landlord risk, the deal becomes less attractive. Wayne would rather invest in a market where: The property works. The cash flow works. The tenant profile works. The long-term fundamentals work. And the laws support the operation of the business. Wayne's "Ice Age" Theory Wayne again discusses the idea of real estate markets entering an "ice age." A market can become temporarily unattractive when prices rise faster than rents and household affordability. That does not mean the city is permanently bad. It means investors may need to wait. Calgary is one market Wayne currently describes this way. He believes Edmonton will eventually reach a similar stage. When that happens, he will look for the next market where the fundamentals work better. What Numbers Should Investors Actually Follow? Another listener asks which indicators they should use when analyzing deals. They currently look at: Cap rate Cash flow ROI DSCR The 1% rule Other rules of thumb Wayne simplifies it dramatically. He primarily focuses on two things: Return on Investment and The 5% Rule™ Cash Flow Test That is it. Metric #1: Return on Investment ROI tells Wayne how profitable the investment is. It allows him to compare completely different properties using one common measure. A townhouse. A suited house. A multifamily building. A condo. A garden-suite development. Whatever the property type, the question is: For every dollar I invest, how much profit am I receiving back? Wayne looks at total profits from: Cash flow Mortgage principal paydown Appreciation Then compares those profits with the initial investment. He generally prefers looking over longer holding periods rather than focusing only on year-one returns. Real estate is a long-term investment. Metric #2: The 5% Rule™ Cash Flow Test Profitability is only half the equation. The other half is risk. Wayne uses cash flow as his primary risk measure. The more cash flow a property produces, the greater its ability to absorb: Lower rents Higher mortgage payments Repairs Vacancy Increasing expenses Unexpected economic changes Imagine one property produces $500 per month. Rent falls by $200. You still have $300. Another property produces only $100. Rent falls by $200. Now you are losing money. Multiply that across a 20-property portfolio and suddenly a small monthly problem becomes a very large one. That is why Wayne created the 5% Rule. Profitability + Risk Wayne's approach is to balance: ROI = profitability with Cash flow = risk protection A property can have an incredible projected return but still be dangerously fragile. Another property can be extremely safe but produce disappointing returns. The goal is finding investments that score well in both areas. Wayne Doesn't Use the 1% Rule Wayne considers rules such as the 1% rule outdated and overly simplistic. The bigger question is: Why 1%? What exactly is it measuring? Profitability? Risk? Financing? There is often no clear reasoning behind the number. Wayne prefers metrics where he understands exactly what they are measuring and why they matter. A Listener Bought a Vancouver Condo and Regrets It Another listener writes in after purchasing a condo in the Greater Vancouver area. They say the property is losing several hundred dollars every month. They relied heavily on their realtor. They did not educate themselves first. And after finding the Morning Show, they realized they had done exactly what Wayne warns investors not to do. Their questions: Should they continue investing in Vancouver? Should they invest somewhere else? And how do they get out of the condo? Would Wayne Invest in Vancouver? Wayne's answer: No. He does not believe Vancouver currently fits the five fundamentals he uses when selecting markets and investments. His issue is not whether Vancouver real estate can appreciate. It obviously can. His problem is that Wayne does not buy properties primarily to speculate on appreciation. He wants to purchase a profitable rental business. If the rent cannot pay the operating costs and produce sufficient cash flow, he is not interested. Appreciation Is Not Enough Someone can buy a Vancouver condo and hope it goes up in value. That is a strategy. It is simply not Wayne's strategy. Wayne wants: Positive cash flow Mortgage paydown Long-term appreciation potential A strong tenant profile A supportive operating environment The property needs to make sense without requiring appreciation to rescue the investment. Should You Invest Outside Your Home City? Yes. Wayne believes investors should go where the fundamentals work. You do not need to live in the same city as your rental property. Wayne and Gabby already manage properties they rarely or never physically visit. The solution is building: The right team Communication systems Maintenance systems Inspection systems Contractor relationships Documentation systems Location matters far less once the management system works. How Do You Get Out of a Bad Vancouver Condo? Wayne's first answer is straightforward: Talk to your realtor and understand what the property can realistically sell for. Then calculate: Mortgage penalty Realtor fees Legal fees Current market value Remaining mortgage Potential loss Tax implications Net proceeds Then determine whether continuing to hold the property actually improves the situation. Wayne warns against holding a bad investment indefinitely simply because you want to "break even." Sometimes the best decision is to accept the loss, learn from it and redeploy the remaining capital into a better opportunity. Don't Make the Next Decision Based on the Last Mistake A bad deal does not mean real estate investing does not work. It means that particular deal did not work. The most important thing is learning from it. Get educated. Understand the market. Understand the numbers. Create proper criteria. Then try again with a stronger foundation. Ghost Listings for Rental Research Another viewer asks about posting a rental listing before the property is actually available to test the market rent. Wayne explains that investors sometimes use "ghost listings" to gauge demand at a particular price. But Gabby raises an important concern. If tenants currently occupy the property, posting their home for rent before it is actually available can create unnecessary problems. There is also a timing issue. If you post the listing in September to determine what rent you can get in December, you are collecting September data. Rental markets are seasonal. The information may not accurately reflect what tenants will pay months later. Ask the Right Professional Wayne closes the discussion with another important principle: Use professionals for what they actually specialize in. A realtor brokers real estate transactions. A mortgage broker arranges financing. A lawyer provides legal guidance. A contractor performs construction. That does not automatically make any of them qualified to provide investment strategy. Build a team of strong professionals. But remain the CEO of your own real estate business.

Join our host, Mr. Rahul Desai, CEO and MD of the International Institute of Gemology, who educates us on how a brand does not need a global footprint or an enormous marketing budget to think like a luxury house. Rahul breaks down how smaller and mid-sized jewelry brands can build distinction through a clear point of view, controlled scarcity, strong narratives and carefully designed customer experiences. In luxury, mindset and consistency often matter more than scale.Hosted by: Mr. Rahul Desai, CEO and MD of the International Institute of GemologyVisit the IIG website: www.iigindia.comFollow us on:LinkedIn @ iigofficialInstagram @ iigofficialFacebook @ iigofficialTwitter @ iigofficialYoutube @ iigofficialSubscribe & Like below Podcast Channels:Apple PodcastSpotify PodcastAmazon PodcastYoutube PodcastInquire about sponsoring and showcasing your business in our next podcast episode by the Loupe Insight: Delving with Rahul Desai:rahul@iigindia.comSponsors for this podcast episode: Sanghi Jewelers, our Jewellery Partner, precious gemstone jewellery; Finestar Diamonds, our Diamond Partner, bringing precision, brilliance and perfection to every diamond; Polygon, our Industry Partner, Helping jewelers grow their business since 1984; Jwero.ai, Our Tech Partner, Building Jewelry Rocketships; Svar Media Network, our Media Partner, The Voice of Jewellers.

Should they invest somewhere else? And how do they get out of the condo? Would Wayne Invest in Vancouver? Wayne's answer: No. He does not believe Vancouver currently fits the five fundamentals he uses when selecting markets and investments. His issue is not whether Vancouver real estate can appreciate. It obviously can. His problem is that Wayne does not buy properties primarily to speculate on appreciation. He wants to purchase a profitable rental business. If the rent cannot pay the operating costs and produce sufficient cash flow, he is not interested. Appreciation Is Not Enough Someone can buy a Vancouver condo and hope it goes up in value. That is a strategy. It is simply not Wayne's strategy. Wayne wants: Positive cash flow Mortgage paydown Long-term appreciation potential A strong tenant profile A supportive operating environment The property needs to make sense without requiring appreciation to rescue the investment. Should You Invest Outside Your Home City? Yes. Wayne believes investors should go where the fundamentals work. You do not need to live in the same city as your rental property. Wayne and Gabby already manage properties they rarely or never physically visit. The solution is building: The right team Communication systems Maintenance systems Inspection systems Contractor relationships Documentation systems Location matters far less once the management system works. How Do You Get Out of a Bad Vancouver Condo? Wayne's first answer is straightforward: Talk to your realtor and understand what the property can realistically sell for. Then calculate: Mortgage penalty Realtor fees Legal fees Current market value Remaining mortgage Potential loss Tax implications Net proceeds Then determine whether continuing to hold the property actually improves the situation. Wayne warns against holding a bad investment indefinitely simply because you want to "break even." Sometimes the best decision is to accept the loss, learn from it and redeploy the remaining capital into a better opportunity. Don't Make the Next Decision Based on the Last Mistake A bad deal does not mean real estate investing does not work. It means that particular deal did not work. The most important thing is learning from it. Get educated. Understand the market. Understand the numbers. Create proper criteria. Then try again with a stronger foundation. Ghost Listings for Rental Research Another viewer asks about posting a rental listing before the property is actually available to test the market rent. Wayne explains that investors sometimes use "ghost listings" to gauge demand at a particular price. But Gabby raises an important concern. If tenants currently occupy the property, posting their home for rent before it is actually available can create unnecessary problems. There is also a timing issue. If you post the listing in September to determine what rent you can get in December, you are collecting September data. Rental markets are seasonal. The information may not accurately reflect what tenants will pay months later. Ask the Right Professional Wayne closes the discussion with another important principle: Use professionals for what they actually specialize in. A realtor brokers real estate transactions. A mortgage broker arranges financing. A lawyer provides legal guidance. A contractor performs construction. That does not automatically make any of them qualified to provide investment strategy. Build a team of strong professionals. But remain the CEO of your own real estate business.

With football season back we are all invested in the Super Bowl and who will be playing the halftime show. There are some internet rumors so we break those down. Thor has taken a turn and going against a new government... the Chula Vista government. He has been vocal about his hate for outdoor dining, specifically covid style outdoor seating and it looks like it may be coming back to Thor's beloved 3rd avenue... Growing up we all fell in love with the houses in the shows we watched and wanted to live in them ourselves. Well we found a list that ranks the top houses in movies and TV that we would want to live in.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Why does everything seem to fall apart the minute we stop working on it?It started for me with a red towel.That towel reminded me of a brilliant organization system I created years ago for my seven kids. Everyone got their own color. No more missing towels. No more confusion.Except, of course, it didn't quite work that way.And that's what got me thinking about entropy.Things naturally move toward disorder. Dishes pile up. Laundry returns. Weeds grow. Houses need repairs. Our bodies need care. And somehow there is always another meal to make.It doesn't mean we're doing it wrong.In this episode, we're talking about what happens when you have too many plates spinning and why constantly trying harder may not be the answer.We'll talk about:• Why organization requires ongoing energy• The difference between falling behind and failing• How many invisible "plates" we're carrying around in our heads• Which responsibilities might need to be eliminated• What you can delegate to your children, spouse, or someone else• How simplifying routines can reduce the amount of maintenance your life requires• Why clutter creates another plate to manage• Giving yourself permission to rest when a plate fallsYou already know how to spin a lot of these plates.The question might not be, "How do I get better at keeping all of them spinning?"It might be, "Why am I spinning all of these plates in the first place?"Mentioned in this episode:Joyfully Prepared Library -https://www.joyfullypreparedlibrary.comMeal Planning Worksheet - https://joyfulprep.kartra.com/page/planningJoyfully Prepared Realtor - https://joyfullyprepared.com/realestate/Website - https://joyfullyprepared.comInstagram - https://instagram.com/joyfulprepperFacebook - https://www.joyfulprepgroup.comSafe Water Drop: SafeWaterDrop.com

Caitlyn is back from maternity leave (welcome, baby Clara!) and Steve and Lisa are just home from their annual Labor Day weekend at Universal Orlando, this year with a new addition: a full day at Epic Universe before Halloween Horror Nights. First up, an honest Epic Universe review now that the park has had time to settle in. Is Express Pass worth it? (Short version: if you're only there for one day, yes, and note that Epic's Express is a separate ticket that isn't included with the Universal hotel unlimited Express perk.) We talk about the jaw-dropping walk into Super Nintendo World, why Mine-Cart Madness and Ministry of Magic were down until the afternoon and what a Universal team member told us about ride safety sensors and reset times, how long the Express lines really were, and the difference between Stardust Racers green and yellow (think Slinky Dog on overdrive versus a lap-bar coaster that's more intense than VelociCoaster). Plus the food finds: the DK Crush float in the Donkey Kong barrel mug, pumpkin juice and quiche for breakfast in the Wizarding World, a hidden German restaurant down a back alley in Paris, and Burning Blade Tavern. And a warning about the stairs. So many stairs. Then it's on to Halloween Horror Nights: how the new Stay and Scream wristband setup works, why the gates opened late, whether HHN Express is worth paying more than the admission ticket (we did all 10 houses in about four hours), and our picks for the best houses this year, including the Ozzy Osbourne tribute, Sinners, Hellraiser, Stranger Things, Jack and Oddfellow, Madlands, and the delightfully corny H.R. Bloodengutz house. We also cover the scare zones (the Fortnite zone got so packed security was routing people around it), the improved food booths, the all-new closing show, and the annual tradition of buying $100 worth of Universal umbrellas. We wrap up with a surprise reunion with Bob from the original Mouse Chat crew and a story about the time Disney gave us a real recording studio to tape an episode. Mouse Chat is sponsored by Pixie Vacations. Ready to plan your Universal Orlando, Epic Universe, or Disney World vacation? Our agents plan it for free at PixieVacations.com.

In this week's episode of High on Home Grown, we dive into the biggest cannabis stories from around the world, with two very different UK cannabis factory stories, a look at the future of medical cannabis research, concerns over a proposed US hemp ban, and some promising research into medical cannabis and endometriosis. Macky starts things off with a rather unusual discovery in Slough, where Thames Valley Police uncovered a huge cannabis growing operation inside an abandoned former BHS store. Around 1,700 plants were found, with the crop estimated to have a potential yield of around 150kg and a street value of approximately £1.3 million. Two men involved in the operation have been jailed. Smee brings us another UK cannabis factory story, this time involving the director of an estate agency who used rental properties to set up cannabis grows. Several properties were used as part of the operation before police eventually caught up with him, resulting in a prison sentence. Billy looks towards the future of medical cannabis as Professor David Nutt prepares to explore the future of medical cannabis research at a symposium in London. We discuss where the science is heading and what questions researchers still need to answer as medical cannabis continues to gain attention. John takes us across the Atlantic for a look at the potential impact of the proposed US hemp ban. A new report suggests that as much as 68% of the US hemp industry could be affected, raising serious questions about what the legislation could mean for businesses, consumers and the wider hemp market. Finally, Margaret brings us some more encouraging medical cannabis research, with a study linking medical cannabis use to sustained improvements in endometriosis symptoms. We take a look at what the research found and what it could mean for people living with endometriosis. So we've got abandoned department stores, estate agents running grow houses, the future of medical cannabis research, a potentially huge shake-up of the US hemp industry and some promising medical research. Another busy week in the world of cannabis!

fWotD Episode 3418: Thomas Hardy (Royal Navy officer, died 1732) Welcome to featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia's finest articles.The featured article for Sunday, 13 September 2026, is Thomas Hardy (Royal Navy officer, died 1732).Rear-Admiral Sir Thomas Hardy (13 September 1666 – 16 August 1732) was a Royal Navy officer and politician. Having joined the navy sometime before 1688, Hardy's career was supported by George Churchill, whom he served as first lieutenant during the Battle of Barfleur in 1692. Promoted to captain in 1693, Hardy served in the Channel Islands and off the coast of England until 1702 when he was given command of HMS Pembroke off the coast of Spain. He fought at the Battle of Cádiz, and subsequently discovered the location of the Franco-Spanish fleet through the intervention of his chaplain, which resulted in the Battle of Vigo Bay. Hardy was knighted for his services.Having commanded several ships in the Mediterranean Fleet, in 1706 Hardy was given command of a small squadron in the west of the English Channel tasked with protecting arriving merchant ships. In 1707 Hardy was sent as escort to a 200-ship convoy sailing for Lisbon. While conveying the ships he met with the squadron of René Duguay-Trouin in late August, chasing him until dusk before returning to shepherd the convoy. Hardy returned to England in September and was court martialled in the following month for not fully engaging Duguay-Trouin. He was acquitted but was further investigated by a panel from the Admiralty and committees of the Houses of Commons and Lords, which again exonerated him.Hardy became first captain to Sir John Leake in the Mediterranean in 1708, assisting in the transport of Elisabeth Christine of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel to Spain for her marriage to the important British ally Archduke Charles, and participating in the capture of Cagliari and assault on Minorca. In 1711 he was promoted to rear-admiral and given command of a squadron to blockade Dunkirk. Pushed off station by a storm, he was unable to stop a force of privateers from escaping and destroying a British convoy. After briefly serving as commander-in-chief, the Nore, Thames and Medway Hardy commanded a squadron off Ushant where he failed to intercept the squadrons of Duguay-Trouin and Jean-Baptiste du Casse in 1712. In 1715 he was second-in-command of the Baltic Fleet sent to serve in the Great Northern War. He was dismissed in 1716 possibly because, as a Tory, he continued to support the deposed House of Stuart after the succession of the House of Hanover.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:33 UTC on Sunday, 13 September 2026.For the full current version of the article, see Thomas Hardy (Royal Navy officer, died 1732) on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm neural Emma.

Philip Louden calls it becoming the bank: you buy a cheap livable house in a small market, then resell it on seller financing to a family that wants to own instead of rent. He explains why this arbitrage works, how he finds and structures these deals, and where the financing comes from when you do not have cash. If you have been chasing assignment fees and want something that pays you every month, this is the model to study.

RHLSTP #626 - Maths is Sh*te - Rich is back at the Edinburgh Fringe, 39 years after his first appearance. His guest is fiery MP turned brilliant comic, Mhairi Black. They talk about how she became the youngest MP since 1667 (maybe), why the toxic, alcohol-sodden Houses of Parliament was not the place for her, her record breaking swearing, calling Rishi Sunak a dickhead (or not), impressing David Cameron and the media attention and death threats that come with it all. Plus thoughts on Farage, Scottish Independence and Brexit in Mhairi's usual uncompromising stance. Plus ghosts, ham hands, how Mhairi pivoted into acting and the ultimately doomed United Kingdom and its outdated parliament.

"In Italy I have fallen and dreamed and traveled on my own terms. My Italy is endless and a drop of pleasure each day"...Welcome to Episode #150:This week I am moved to share a story about my Italy and how it lives with me.  I am slightly challenged by social media yet I guess fall somewhere in the middle, not one way or the other…. I was thinking about pop culture, ‘la dolce vita' Italy and how my travel experiences have been quite different to that. So I wrote an article about this on substack At my Table and then realised later perhaps it is just my version of Italy, neither here nor there but a place forever at the heart of everything I do.Enjoy this episode,Michelle xImage captured in the city of Parma, Emilia RomagnaShownotes A Writer in Italy InstagramSubstack - At My TableMichelle's BooksA Writer in Italy is about travel and life.

Learn more or register here: https://stan.store/stefaniekateboucherIn this episode, I respond to a listener's question about what matters more when interpreting the Lunar Nodes: signs or houses. The short answer is both, but we'll look more closely at how the sign axis describes the underlying developmental story, while the house axis shows where that story tends to play out in your life. We'll also talk about what happens when your nodes change houses when you switch house systems, true vs. mean nodes, and why the South Node isn't necessarily something you're supposed to abandon.Want more astrology from me?

Maurine and I have been blessed to attend many temple dedications all over the world. There is nothing so joyful as seeing the Saints gather to see these beautiful Houses of the Lord dedicated and made available for the work of the dead and the living. No matter where we are or what language is spoken, the unifying feeling comes from the music that is sung both outside and inside the temple and the Spirit that follows. “High on the mountain top, A banner is unfurled, Ye nations now look up, it waves to all the world!” (Hymns, no. 5) a choir sings as the Prophet comes out of the building to set the coverstone and talk to the Saints. “We thank Thee, O God, for a Prophet to guide us in these latter days,” the Saints sing with all their hearts as tears are streaming down their faces. “On this day of joy and gladness, Lord, we praise thy holy name; In this sacred place of worship, We thy glories loud proclaim! Alleluia, Alleluia, Bright and clear our voices ring, Singing songs of exultation To our Maker, Lord, and King!” (Hymns, no. 64) You can all picture this, can't you? Well, in order to understand more clearly our study of the Psalms, you have to realize the Psalms were mostly sung, and most of the time at the Temple in ancient times!
