Healing Codependency is a six-part deeply personal podcast series that will offer you an intimate look at how and why I am the woman I am today. In this episode, I'll tell the pivotal story of my relationship with my brother, and how letting go of a codependent relationship liberated both of us. This is the reason why I'm doing this work, and why this podcast exists.The origin of my codependency story began the day I saved my 2 year old brother from drowning in our childhood pool. From then on, I assigned myself my brother's keeper. I detail how my codependent relationship was a high priority throughout my life, from intervention and rehab to being his accountability partner, all the way to relapsing in my home… around my husband and children. I share how clarity from sobriety provided a level of reality I was willing to acknowledge and accept, including having to make an intensely painful decision before the holidays. There was intense grief involved, but ultimately I knew I did the most loving thing for him and me. When a death in the family brought us back together, I felt peace about the situation, whether there was accountability on his side or not. I illustrate markers of being in a codependent relationship and share the two gifts I received from this experience. I now know that every person is capable and in charge of themselves and their own life. The codependency was simply the relationship I created between myself and my brother's potential. Letting go of the cycle always outweighs the discomfort. Thank you for listening and thank you to my podcast producer Media Midwife Ahri Golden for helping me bring my story to life.

There is not much that the best mic in the world can do about recording in a really sound-unfriendly environment. And some of us live in sound-unfriendly environments.If you are currently looking at your location options for podcasting and only finding places that are loud, echoey, or filled with blank empty spaces, but having the best possible audio quality for your show is important to you, then you might want to consider booking time at an in-person studio.I'm personally quite lucky in that my home office is usually pretty quiet and I have enough fluffy stuff kicking around to minimize echo, but there have been days, I'm particularly thinking of last spring when my next-door neighbor was having their windows replaced - when I would have been delighted to be able to go somewhere quiet and just get my content out in peace.My guest today owns and operates just such a venue - and a production company to boot! JP Davidson is the creator of Pop Up Podcasting an Ottawa-based producer and studio.If you want to learn who should book studio time and why - and what kind of value a live-on-a-call producer can provide, listen to our conversation below, or continue reading the blog post!Tune in to the full episode to:Get a better understanding of in-person podcasting studiosLearn about the different recording options for businessesUnderstand the role of the remote podcast producerKnow what to look for in a podcasting studioLearn which processes should be outsourced vs done in-houseDon't forget to join us for our free monthly strategy calls on the third Thursday of every month!Pop Up Podcasting: A look into podcast recording studiosJP Davidson runs an in-person podcast recording studio where people can come and record their episodes. Here's JP's overview of what that entails:The shows that they serveWe're a production company as well as a physical studio space here in Ottawa, Canada. We're right downtown and close to all kinds of businesses, government associations, and parliament buildings, so lots of different clients come through our space.What's their setup?We have a four-person podcast studio with three cameras. We handle video, and we have some lighting for video as well, so we can do a video or audio. Then we handle a lot of the technical production as far as editing, setting up distribution for our clients, and that sort of thing.Other servicesWe also advise and consult on marketing and other associated things. Although mainly we're kind of a technical production house.Things to consider when thinking about recording options for businessesI work with a lot of companies that podcast. One of the big things at the beginning of the show is how am I going to capture the best audio to kind of give this project the best effort I can.So if someone's making the decision, should I set up my office to record, should I make a room in my house to record or should I book time with the professional studio?According to JP, here are the things you need to consider when making that decision:Can you do it in the long term?I think a lot of the early kind of conversations around show design and how are we going to record this and all that. I like to bring up sustainability because I think a lot of us in podcasting know it's a long game and doing a short burst and then running out of steam, and skipping the next six months of episodes doesn't do anybody any good.It's really about what you can do consistently over the long term. So that really comes into it. If somebody is like, I work from home, it's really hard for me to get downtown to record or over to a studio space, then for sure we work with a lot of clients who record at home, record from the office remotely.That sustainability question is like, can you get to a studio space or is it going to be way better for you to be recording from home or from the office?How much is your budget?The other question is cost. It's a bit more expensive to record from a studio. We do a hybrid approach where our producers will connect with people remotely and be a remote producer during the call.And that helps a lot of our clients because there is this scary factor of technology when we're recording in our own spaces, with our own microphone, on our own computer. And so having a producer on the line can help smooth those things over.The studio is definitely the highest quality, most reliable way to do it. We double-record everything and back up everything. We have a producer on-site to fix anything that might be going wrong, reposition the microphones, and all that stuff.But I totally recognize that a good number of our clients are remote because it can be the best solution for a lot of people.An additional benefit to physical podcast studiosAnother benefit of renting a physical space outside of your own workspace is there is an amount of accountability to that.I find, especially for the solopreneurs or the owner-operators of small businesses, it's really easy to backburner the marketing promotion work that podcasting often is.But if you're paying, you've got a monthly subscription, you've got three hours of podcast studio time, you're going to go there and you're going to use it and you're going to get your studio time filled.JP Davidson's take on this:Even just on that micro level. For example, I have an appointment at 11:00 a.m. on Thursday. I'm going to go and get my show done. That can be really helpful.And the remote production that we do kind of has that built in too, because my producer is waiting for me at that time. I should say too, that we do a lot of hybrid. So host in the studio, remote guest, or vice versa. Some shows kind of flip between the two, depending on people's availability.My philosophy is that the host should always sound the best. That's what we sort of have come to expect from listening to the radio and watching TV news and everything else. Whether the host is in the studio to sound great or they're at home and we set them up with a nice microphone and the rest of it, we want everyone to sound great.But the host is the one we can reliably control the most because they're the consistent factor every week or every two weeks on the show.Host vs guest audio quality: Who should sound better?I feel it's preferable to have the guest and the host sound a little more equal if there's a huge disparity.The question is, is it always better to make the host sound as good as possible? Or is there ever a case for making the host sound a little bit worse if it kind of decreases the gap between host and guest?JP's take:With so many things around this stuff, it's opinion and it's art more than science. It hurts my heart a little too much to on purpose reduce audio quality. It's never really occurred to me to do that to make them match up more.I mean, let's shoot high for everyone, but I wouldn't necessarily draw. We're used to that from radio. A host in a studio and a caller on a bad cell phone. We've heard it looking at you, CBC.Maybe NPR in the States pays for tape syncs and brings people into the studio more. But here in Canada, we don't do that. We're hearing phone audio pretty often on the radio.Considerations for audio qualityOne of the things I think about it is because we have sort of the different podcast archetypes that we work with, longtime listeners will be familiar with the Blueprints, so we've got shows that are forethought leadership for establishing the brand of the company.And then we've got shows that are more relationship-focused. And I'm just thinking of this now in that case, if it really is about building relationships with your guests, that's when I think I'd try to equalize the audio..The guest doesn't hear it, but if it is a thought leadership, IP-focused show, just make everyone sound as good as possible, but focus on that host.Because you don't want to dunk on your guests if they're right. If you're trying to make them the star of the show.What does a remote producer do in an in-person podcast studio?Here at One Stone Creative, we don't do live remote production. So our clients, they record their own audio with their own guests and they send it to us.For JP's podcast studio, it's a little bit different:It's largely on the technical side, although we'll also chime in often at the end of the conversation, we'll chime in and say the answer to that question was sort of muddled. Let's retake that. You used this acronym throughout and never defined it. Maybe let's define that.It's the stuff that I was producing podcasts as a freelancer for years. People would record on their own and send me audio and the stuff where I was like, I wish I could have been there to ask them to do this or change this.And it's the same thing. On the technical side, we've connected with clients before and they have the ATR2100x here, the classic podcast USB mic.But we've had so many people have this great mic in front of them, and then the laptop mic is selected or the webcam mic is selected and you're like, you had it right there. Why didn't you flip it on? Or the blue yeti that's tipped towards the mouth instead of the face towards the mouth and sounds terrible as a result.So we did a quick sound check at the beginning and just to make sure that everybody's kind of doing everything they can to sound great. And sometimes it's close the window, I can hear the traffic noise or whatever, where we shepherd people through the process. And it really just came out of my frustration with people's self-taped audio, to be honest.Related:Podcasting for Business Conference 2023Deep Dive Workshop: Audio Quick Fixes and Troubleshooting with Audra CasinoWith a little bit of knowledge and caring, people can do this stuff on their own.There's only so many things it can really be. If someone sounds off, it's going to be your input or your output or your environment for the most part, and occasionally something weird and distressing that no one has ever run into before.You're supposed to be the expert on the call and we're tearing our hair out. Like, what is that sound? Why don't you sound better for those listening?If you are kind of in the position where you're trying to make that decision, if the thought of having to deal with an extra tech thing horrifies you look for a production company that offers remote producer services because that does take the problem completely off of your desk.The tools and tech for remote podcast recordingElectro-Voice RE320They're a little bit different internally, but I really like them. And they were a little bit cheaper than SM7Bs when I was setting up the studio. And when you're buying four, the cost matters. But I think they sound just as good as the classic SM7B.My take on the Shure MV7I downgraded from the SM7B because, interestingly, I'm very podcast-affiliated. I'm not a gearhead, I'm not the audio engineer. I've got wonderful team members who do that. It was just too much mic for me. It had too many settings. The M7, I could plug it in and it would just work as a non-techie person. That's what I needed.JP Davidson uses a USB mic at home, too, because of the simplicity of it, if you only need one mic in the room and it's connected to a computer, you're all set with that.RiversideI've had a few headaches with Riverside, to be honest. I think if you use any piece of technology enough, you're going to run into things. But it's the best thing going for us so far.And every so often we'll do things via Zoom. If the guest really is having trouble with Riverside, we need simplicity and speed over quality. But Riverside is a great platform for that.Squadcast: A Riverside CompetitorWe used Descript and so we had access to it. It's really nice. There were a few little gotchas where I was like, I guess they have the waiting room feature.There was something where I was like, oh, it doesn't have this that Riverside has, but I'm definitely considering moving over to that.I got the sense and strategically, I can see why they'd make this choice, but they're trying to, I think, to make it foolproof, because I noticed some of the things that I can normally do in Riverside or even in ZoomOnce you were recording in the Squadcast, you couldn't change your mic, you couldn't start messing with your settings once the recording had been hit. And I was just like, okay, I see why you do that.But Riverside's Enterprise features bug me because I don't want to pay for Enterprise. $300 a month or something is so much.And then there are features like download all is an enterprise feature, or View and Change people's inputs and outputs is an Enterprise feature. So if Squadcast can do some of that stuff, it's looking pretty tempting.Especially for people who are doing their own editing, using Descript as their primary DAW is a no-brainer. You'll put up with anything for that level of convenience. Just kind of a general about podcast studio.What should you look for in an in-person podcasting studio?A dedicated producer for each clientOne of the things that we pride ourselves on is having a dedicated producer for every client. And that's not to say we don't work as a team. If somebody's sick, we can fill in and all the rest of it.But you're going to have one point of contact and that's more important than you might think because there are always little differences with each client. Like we know the host always likes to sit in this chair for this particular show and having that kind of personalization is a nice touch.Do they offer video podcasting?There's a lot of people offering podcast recording in studios now, and there are a lot of differences in the services provided. So I think looking at that video or no video is one thing, but then if you know you want video and more and more of our clients are at least recording like, you do video for clips, even if you're not.The data backs it up. You've got to have at least an MP4 version on YouTube at this point. It's best practice now.Does the studio have enough cameras?So do you have video but then are there multiple cameras? Our studio has three cameras, so we can make a more dynamic show for people. In some cases, you can go to somewhere that specializes in music recording, but they're like, we have a table, we have microphones, we have chairs, whatever it is, we can set you up.Is the environment right for you?Thinking about the environment, especially for business podcasters, the environment you're bringing your clients into and depending on the nature of your business, like a cool music recording space might be perfect, but it might not be the vibe everybody's going for.So somewhere that's going to be a professional space where you can kind of wow your guests and give them the experience of being in this professional podcast space that's dedicated to the task.Especially if you're using a relationship-building strategy, particularly if you don't have premises, if you don't have your own company office, having a really nice professional, well-prepared space to bring your guests who could be potential clients, who could be potential referral partners too.It can just be a small investment into a really good impression.Should you outsource or do it in-house?A lot of the clients we work with have a communications team or a marketing person or somebody who has some specialization in what we're trying to do. And I think the way that that division happens is going to be different for everyone and hopefully you can find a partner that has some flexibility as far as that goes.We do kind of try to customize that based on the client. But the techie nitty gritty stuff that we've talked about so far is probably best left to us unless you have a really capable internal AV person who can help with this stuff.But a lot of people outside of the podcasting industry don't know about Riverside and Squadcast and Descript and these kinds of things. So kind of leaving that to the pros, I think can be helpful and can be a huge time saver because podcast editing and video editing are slow, even for us.But it can be four times slower if you're learning the software as you're going and all the rest of it There's a non-zero chance you're going to hate it because it takes a special brain to be into audio-video editing.I think the podcast-specific stuff can be helpful. So you know that a marketing and communications professional is going to know how to get the word out about things in different ways, but maybe they're not going to know that we have these typical sort of intro outro scripts for podcasts and how those go together, and the fact that you shouldn't go on and on for three minutes in an intro is long.Then we have the distribution setup. I think is still tricky and specialized, and even for me, who's done it a lot.Podcast Distribution: A look into Apple PodcastsWhy does Apple hate podcasters so much? It seems like Apple actively doesn't want more podcasts to be submitted.This is the only thing you could take away from creating an Apple ID, and then you have to log in and put in your credit card, but they're never going to use the credit card, and that kind of activates your Apple ID. It's so frustrating.I got locked out of my own Apple account because my credit card expired, but because I didn't have a credit card, I couldn't log in. So that whole account is just gone forever.I can't think of a reason for it because they're still one of the biggest distribution platforms, but maybe it's just a “you need us more than we need you” kind of thing.They can't be bothered to make it easy.The stuff that should be done in-houseThe stuff that should be in-house is more around guest selection. A lot of major editorial decision-making. We work with our clients on that often, and sometimes it'll be the answer to question four is, like, way off base as far as the company line goes.That's got to go. That's a quick thing for the client to tell a producer or an editor, but stuff that we wouldn't know, right? Because we're not in that industry and we don't know every company policy or how we talk about things or don't talk about things.We found that's a big part of our onboarding process because we do a lot of written materials for the shows that we produce as well as we do show notes. We do often social shares and guest notifications, and if something needs to be cut, I always recommend the writing go first because we work with a lot of highly niched companies and there's only so much our writers can do.They're not compliance lawyers, nor financial services advisors, nor an author whose voice is their money maker. So that's always kind of the balance between we're going to do really good industry-level stuff. It's not going to be as good as if you wrote it yourself. It's not on the table.Probably not a great business decision, but I've dragged my feet on doing client show notes. There's a handful that we do that goes okay once you figure out the style and all the rest of it. But a lot of it, especially if they have anyone internally who can do a better job, will defer to them pretty quickly.Creating show notes for podcastsWhat's interesting, I don't know if you know what's up. We do the State of Business Podcasting Report every year, and one of the things we look at is what these top 100 business shows do for their show notes. A shocking number of them are single sentences.I think the style that we do that's the most popular is a really good descriptive paragraph, a couple of sentences, guest bio if they have one. It's almost always a relationship-building plan. Then just key quotes or highlights, some of the most interesting things, and then resources and it's simple enough that doesn't have to be super, super on-brand voice for a company.And it's easy enough for anyone who needs to do that writing to get it more or less correct. So much of it is about SEO, so you're getting those keywords in. You're halfway there.Relationship Building Through Podcast ProductionOne of our clients, the Business Council of Canada, is this association of Canada's biggest CEOs of Canada's biggest companies.Their podcast is called Speaking of Business and their CEO, Goldie Heider talks to these titans of Canadian business, and it's half about him building the relationship with his membership and half about informing the membership of here's who we are and where we are.But then it's not strictly internal because it's also like, I can be a fly on the wall for this candid conversation between the CEOs of some of the biggest companies in Canada. None of it is really breaking out of the mold, but they do a nice job of as much as everything being said often has to be lawyered at that level.It's candid enough and it's kind of enough of a twist on what you hear these people say on the evening news. It's interesting to the average listener, even if you're not a business magnate.A small downside of working with big businessesWhen we have clients and they've got this really great guest from this really huge company. On the outside, I'm going, “Yay, good for you!” On the inside, I'm going, “Oh no, we're going to have a three-month review process, aren't we?”The problem with scripted responsesWe've had guests come in with, like, their communications person, fully scripted their responses to every question. That's just not great audio.If you're not a professional voice actor, it's hard to sound off the cuff if you're reading right. That's one of the ones.Our clients are kind of all over the map. Care Canada, a large nonprofit does work in Africa, is a client, and they have a great show where their program is all about teaching young women sexual and reproductive health in these African countries.They have young women hosting it and kind of running the show. So it's a very youth-led project that's sharing information to the people that need it, but also building that link between Canada and Africa.Interested in Pop Up Podcasting?Visit their website, https://popuppodcasting.ca/They do remote production work with folks across Canada and beyond.You may also contact JP through jp@popuppodcasting.ca (he would be be happy to chat!)Key Quotes"It's really about what you can do consistently over the long term.” - JP DavidsonResourcesOne Stone Creative | LinkedIn | Twitter | Facebook | InstagramMake sure to check out our free Monthly Strategy Calls!Podcasting for Business Conference 2023Learn about what other business podcasters are doingState of Business Podcasting Report 2022JP Davidson Pop Up Podcasting | Personal Site | LinkedIn | TwitterRelated:Working with VAs for Your Podcast with Kristy YoderGetting the Best Sound From Your Home Studio (or Kitchen Table) with Junaid AhmedAchieving Business Goals with Podcast Managers | Ted CraggAcoustic Treatment for Your Home or Office StudioAbout JP Davidson“JP Davidson is the founding producer of Pop Up Podcasting.

Sage House is a dementia hub in Tangmere, West Sussex. Said to be the first of its kind in the UK, the hub is located in a light, airy building of dementia-friendly coloured zones, wide passageways, Daisy's café and numerous meeting rooms for everything from legal advice on drawing up wills and powers of attorney to hairdressing, from Citizens Advice Bureau sessions and dementia assessment clinics to Reiki. The hub provides a one-stop shop to give all the various services that someone diagnosed with dementia and his or her family might need. Crucially, they will also be allocated one person to help them navigate their way around the mind-boggling systems and choices they will now confront. Chief executive Sally Tabbner is passionate about what she does. She was recruited even before Sage House officially opened in 2018 and has taken her team from a staff of three to 36 employees and 66 volunteers who between them over the past 12 months have provided direct support to over seventeen hundred people affected by dementia. So successful has the hub proved that Chichester University is currently evaluating the model to see if it might be rolled out across the UK. Volunteer Ronnie Patmore, whose late wife Dolly used the hub until she died during the first Covid lockdown in 2020, initially felt guilty and doubtful about leaving his wife in the care of others. However, ably supported by Jackie, a dedicated, personal Wayfinder, Ronnie soon realised that the hub and its resources were just what the couple needed. And since Dolly died, he's volunteered at Sage House, helping in the café and, in his inimitable way, cheering up the customers. “I find myself chatting to people starting out on the same journey as I have had,” says Ronnie. “I know what it's like and I hope that if I speak to them I might brighten their day”.Find out more about Sage House at www. www.dementiasupport.org.uk/sage-houseThe book Pippa mentioned, by Peter Berry & Deb Bunt, is called Slow Puncture: Living Well With Dementia, and is available from Amazon.

THE THESIS: The second coup is being executed in advance. Liz Cheney and her dear, DEAR friend, Nancy Pelosi intend to hand the fraud J6 investigation over to the criminal DOJ. If President Trump secures the Republican nomination, they will charge him with the hopes of splitting the GOP. Mitch McConnell and Kevin McCarthy are fine with all of this. If the GOP actually gets out of its own way and lets the insanity of the Democrats deliver them an election win in the midterms, they will either go about investigating and then legally dismantling the criminal DOJ or the DOJ will dismantle the presidential election against conservatives. THE SCRIPTURE & SCRIPTURAL RESOURCES: James 4:1-3Submit Yourselves to God4 What causes fights and quarrels among you? Don't they come from your desires that battle within you? 2 You desire but do not have, so you kill. You covet but you cannot get what you want, so you quarrel and fight. You do not have because you do not ask God. 3 When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures.THE NEWS & COMMENT:Here is their planJan 6 Committee Finale: Handing Anti-MAGA Football To DOJ For Prosecutions After Dems Lose the HouseThe made-for-TV J6 show trial has concluded, but the endgame unfolds: Criminal referrals and a subpoena to Trump to hand the football to Merrick Garland and DOJ to keep up the attacks after Democrats lose the House.ABC “News” is feeling that familiar shiver in their thighs . . . of course, Liz Cheney's dear, DEAR friends, Nancy Pelosi and Mitch McConnell have never had to testify about why they refused extra security that day.

House hacking is one of the easiest ways to get into real estate investing. Thanks to its flexible financing options, low down payment loans, and ability to cut your rent in half (or eliminate it), house hacking is truly a phenomenal investing strategy.

Want to live with a bunch of friends? Buy a three or four-bedroom house and rent out the rooms. Want to have a private space for you and your family? Buy a small multifamily and rent out the other units. No matter what you choose to do, house hacking can help speed up your journey to financial freedom. This is done by reducing the amount of money you spend on rent/a mortgage while also giving you serious tax benefits, instant cash flow, and appreciation so you can build wealth in the background.In this how-to episode, Ashley and Tony give you everything you need to find, analyze, finance, and buy a house hack. They go over in-depth real estate analysis so you can confidently bring a deal to your lender, partner, or just have peace of mind that you're making a smart investment.

世界上第一条短信售出 成交价近15万美元︱World's first SMS sold as NFT for $150,000 at Paris auction houseThe world's first SMS has been sold as a non-fungible token (NFT) for $149,729 (€132,680) at auction in Paris, according to the auctioneer Aguttes.据法国奥古特拍卖行称,世界上第一条短信在巴黎的拍卖会以149729美元(约合人民币95.4万元)的价格作为非同质化代币(NFT)售出。Reading "Merry Christmas," the message was sent by British programmer Neil Papworth from his computer on December 3, 1992 to Richard Jarvis, the director of UK telecommunications company Vodafone.1992年12月3日,英国程序员尼尔·帕普沃思在电脑上向时任英国电信公司沃达丰总监的理查德·贾维斯发送了一条“圣诞快乐”的短信。Jarvis received the message on his Orbitel 901 cellphone during the company's Christmas function.贾维斯在Orbitel 901手机上收到了这条信息,当时该公司正在举行圣诞活动。The NFT is a replica of the original communication protocol that transmitted the SMS, the auction house said. The unknown buyer, who was to pay in the cryptocurrency Ether, will also receive a digital frame with a 3D animation of the message being received.奥古特拍卖行表示,这次拍卖的NFT是传输短信的原始通信协议复制品。拍下该NFT的匿名买家将以加密货币——以太币支付,他还将收到一个数码相框,其中包含这条短信的3D动画。 Papworth and his colleagues were trying to develop a type of communication whereby their client, Vodafone, could offer users the ability to send messages to each other's phones, Aguttes explained on its website.奥古特拍卖行在其网站上解释称,当时帕普沃思和他的同事想开发一种通信方式,让他们的客户沃达丰可以为用户提供用手机相互发送信息的功能。They eventually refined the code, and the transmission of texts via Vodafone's network became a reality.他们最终完善了代码,使在沃达丰的网络中传输文本成为现实。"In 1992, I had no idea just how popular texting would become, and that this would give rise to emojis and messaging apps used by millions," Papworth was quoted as saying by the auctioneer.拍卖行援引帕普沃思的话称:“1992年的时候,我不知道短信会变得这么流行,会促使数百万人使用表情符号和通讯软件。”Initially, texts could not be sent from cellphones because they did not have keyboards. However, by 1994, they were able to be transmitted from phones thanks to the arrival of the Nokia 210.起初,手机里不配有键盘,无法发送短信。而到了1994年,诺基亚210的出现使手机能够发短信了。Five years later, text messages could be sent on various telecommunications networks, giving rise to their popularity. Texting as a means of communication began to overtake the use of phone calls, according to the press release.五年后,各种电信网络都可以发送文字短信,短信大肆流行起来。据新闻报道,短信作为一种交流方式开始取代打电话。The 160-character limit of SMS -- which stands for "Short Message Service" -- has since been incorporated across digital platforms including Twitter.短信的长度限制为160个字符,此后推特等互联网平台都加入了这一限制。The way that users choose to express themselves has developed over time with the introduction of Internet acronyms and emojis.随着网络缩写词和表情符号的引入,用户表达自己的方式随着时间的推移而变化。Just as the world's first SMS revolutionized the way people communicate, NFTs are shaking up the art world.正如世界上第一条短信彻底改变了人们的交流方式,NFT也在撼动艺术界。Non-fungible tokens are a form of cryptocurrency that convert digital pieces of art into unique, verifiable goods that can be traded on the blockchain.NFT是一种加密货币形式,能把数字艺术品转换为独特的、可验证的商品,可在区块链上交易。Each NFT is one-of-a-kind, meaning that no two tokens are the same. Since March, when the first NFT artwork was sold for $69,346,250 during an online auction by Christie's, virtual art has broken into the mainstream.每个NFT代币都是独一无二的。自3月份佳士得拍卖行以69346250美元(约合人民币4.4亿元)的价格售出第一件NFT艺术品以来,虚拟艺术已经成为主流。Recently, Wikipedia co-founder Jimmy Wales sold an NFT of the first ever edit made on the website -- a testament to how virtual art can be used to commemorate moments in Internet culture history.最近,维基百科联合创始人吉米·威尔斯出售了该网站首次编辑词条的NFT——这证明了虚拟艺术可以用来纪念互联网文化史上的时刻。Speaking about the sale of the SMS NFT, Maximilien Aguttes, the development manager at Aguttes auction house, said, "The first printed book, the first phone call, the first email, all these inventions have changed our lives and communication in the world."在谈到出售首条短信NFT时,奥古特拍卖行的业务拓展经理马克西米利安·奥古特说:“第一本印刷书籍、第一个电话、第一封电子邮件,所有这些发明都改变了我们的生活和交流方式。”"This first text message received in 1992 is a historic testament to human and technological progress. It transmitted a message of joy, 'Merry Christmas'," Aguttes added.他补充说:“1992年收到的第一条短信是人类和技术进步的历史见证。它传递了一条溢满欢乐的信息——‘圣诞快乐'。”Vodafone said earlier this month that proceeds from the sale would be donated to the United Nations Refugee Agency.沃达丰本月早些时候表示,此次拍卖所得将捐赠给联合国难民署。fungible 英 ['fʌndʒɪbl];美['fʌndʒəbəl]adj.可代替的;可互换的n.(偿还债务时所用的)代替物cryptocurrency英 [ˈkrɪpto kʌrənsi];美[ˈkrɪptoʊ kɜːrənsi]n. 加密通货;加密货币auctioneer英 [ˌɔːkʃəˈnɪə(r)];美[ˌɔːkʃəˈnɪr] n. 拍卖人;拍卖商verifiable英 [ˈverɪfaɪəbl];美[ˈverɪfaɪəbl] adj. 可证实的

BIO: Jennifer Murtland is a licensed Real estate agent and investor in Ohio and Northern KY. She is the co-host of the Real Estate Fight Club podcast that focuses on battling through residential real estate topics. STORY: Jennifer bought a 200-year-old patchwork house on a whim, and it ended up sucking up all her money and time in renovations and repairs. LEARNING: Be careful when buying a patchwork house because it will cost you a lot more in the long run. Choose your tenants wisely to lower your risk and protect your return on investment. “Have different budgets for renovations based on the age of the house. The older the house, the more money you’ll need.” Jennifer Murtland Guest profilehttps://www.linkedin.com/in/jennifer-murtland-14583b4/ (Jennifer Murtland) is a licensed Real estate agent and investor in Ohio and Northern KY. She started her real estate career wholesaling pre-foreclosures and investing in rentals. She is the co-host of thehttps://toe2toepodcast.podbean.com/ ( Real Estate Fight Club podcast) that focuses on battling through residential real estate topics. She is a no bull shit, passionate professional who is committed to her client’s success and is currently looking for real estate agents to join her company. Worst investment everJennifer started wholesaling pre-foreclosures. In 2008 there were a lot of pre-foreclosures coming with good deals as houses were cheap then. The 200-year-old patchwork houseIn 2010 Jennifer came across a six-unit building that was almost 200 years old. The house was a patchwork house. Originally, it was a two-story house that probably started as a single house and then had two add ons built on, making it a six-unit apartment building. It literally looked like a patchwork quilt. Ignoring the facts right in front of herJennifer knew that buying a patchwork house was a considerable risk. She, however, believed that she is savvy and good with math, and this purchase seemed to make sense where numbers were concerned. So she bought this property. The domino effectAs expected of a 200-year-old home patched together when one tiny thing goes wrong, 100 other things go wrong. The repairs were not cheap either. Everything would cost like $3,000 to $10,000. But the average rents were about $500. As if that was not enough, the only tenants Jennifer could get were a pimp, a drug dealer, and a wife-beater; it was such a disaster. Getting rid of the patchworkFinally, the market turned, and about three years ago, Jennifer talked to her partner about the house, and they decided to sell the property. She found somebody and held the financing, and luckily the buyer paid Jennifer every month. Then the buyer sold it to somebody else, and Jennifer got her money back. Lessons learnedBe careful when buying a patchwork houseThe thing with old properties is when one thing goes wrong, 10 other things will go wrong, and it’s never cheap. So when doing your budget, keep age in mind. If it’s a newer home, you won’t need a lot of money for renovation, but the renovation budget could triple if it’s an older home. Andrew’s takeawaysDo your due diligence to preempt any trouble with your purchaseWhen you’re buying anything, keep in mind that the seller is probably hiding everything they possibly can on what’s wrong. So expect that the seller will hide stuff and do your due diligence to uncover what they are hiding. Investing in stocks is more straightforward than real estatehttps://myworstinvestmentever.com/ep229-nicholas-hinrichsen-if-you-arent-suited-for-picking-stocks-build-a-diversified-portfolio/ (Investing in stocks) is so easy compared to real estate. You just buy, if you don’t like it, you sell it the next day. Actionable adviceIf you’re going to invest in real estate, there’s a lot of ways that you can make money; being a landlord is just one of them. If you decide to be a landlord, be strategic about the tenants you target. This will dictate where you buy, which will...

You may hear of 20 year olds with $1,000,000 in real estate, or a novice flipper doing 50 flips a year, or even a wholesaler who made six figures on one deal. What about the everyday investor who slowly grinds and acquires a steady stream of passive income all while building hundreds of thousands in equity overtime? Those are the real people in real estate, and that is a success story worth sharing.Julie, software engineer and former BiggerPockets employee bought her first house after realizing that a mortgage would be cheaper than her rent. After getting together with her (then) boyfriend, they decided to buy a bigger house. As her first house sat on the market, she waited for an offer, and then made the decision to rent it out. A few months after buying her second home, she broke up with her boyfriend. Problem? They were both on the title and mortgage. Julie had enough money in her cash reserve to buy him out of the property. Now the property was all Julie’s and she rented out a room to help her pay off the mortgage.Now Julie has 7 properties, spread out across Iowa, Tennessee, and Kentucky. All with very interesting stories, and all pay her passive income, every month. Julie is proof that with some financial restraint, you can slowly build a real estate empire, without even trying to do so in the first place!In This Episode We CoverWhen you should own and when you should rent a houseThe dangers of buying a house with someone who may not be in your futureWhy you should borrow less than you’re approved forThe importance of keeping a substantial cash reserve available for investments Never rent to someone who has no credit, no references, and no jobDiving into real estate, even if you don’t know all the tips and tricks yetAnd So Much More!

Eileen Robertson Hamra is the author of the newly released Time to Fly: Life and Love After Loss, which immediately captivated me. Her honest vulnerability about the journey through a tragedy the likes of which I am blessed to not be able to imagine kept me riveted. Even though I've not experienced this degree of loss, I was able to incorporate her lessons of strength into my journey, and for that, I know I will be a better person. This is the magic of stories. We discussed:Her why, and how it morphed over the course of writing the bookThe realization that took the pressure off of "imposter syndrome" and needing to write the "perfect" bookHow to write without pressuring yourself to be a spokesperson or grief counselorWhat to look for in an independent publishing houseThe most surprising aspect of the writing process (hint: " whole book?!?!")The most freeing realization when writing that removes doubt and fear of others' reactionsHer biggest fear when it came to releasing the bookHer suggestion for those still in the writing phase to keep pushing through moments of doubtWhat she hopes for this book to allow in her professional life going forward CONNECT WITH EILEEN:Time to Fly: Life and Love After Loss:https://amzn.to/3lpyz0tWebsite:https://www.eileenrobertsonhamra.com/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/eileenrobertsonhamra/Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/eileenrhamra/Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/authors-creators-visionaries-podcast.

There are a lot of ways Rita Tucker Williams could define herself. Tellingly, she chose to kick off today’s conversation defining herself as “someone who thinks that her life belongs to the community.” Professionally, Rita is an attorney and CEO and CFO of the Law Firm of Williams & Associates, PC, based in downtown Decatur, Georgia. Rita graduated cum laude from Spelman College with a BA. She additionally holds an MA from University of Michigan, and a Juris Doctorate from Emory University School of Law.

Want to know what it takes to become a food and drink millionaire? Of course you do. That’s why you need to listen to Julian Hearn talking about how and why he founded the powdered food product Huel.Huel is marketed as a super convenient, nutritionally complete meal replacement. With sales of £14 million last year and a projection for 2019 at more than £40 million, this makes Huel one of Britain's fastest growing businesses - full stop.But Huel wasn’t Julian’s first foray into entrepreneurism - he sold his first venture, Promotional Codes, for £10m.“I had enough money to retire, but I get bored and I needed something to stay busy.”So his answer to staying busy was getting back into business. And after a few failed ventures he eventually founded Huel.So if you’re looking for inspiration, you won’t go far wrong tuning into Secret Leaders to hear how a guy who just wanted to find a way to spend time at home, not commuting, made millions in his pajamas.We chat about:How a failed entrepreneurial venture led him to founding HuelThe thinking behind Huel branding and how they picked their branding designerThe problems with finding a food manufacturerWhy he chose to hire in a CEO (thus remaining as CMO)Why he keeps all his recruitment in-houseThe potential to use Huel to solve world hungerHow Huel has been financed (and why they raised money when they didn’t need it)Links:https://huel.com/Want to receive our podcast on a weekly basis?

The Most Grateful TurkeyThere once was a turkey, His name was Victor Ray.He had a bad reputation,As he lived on day by day.Why did everyone hate him?Believe me, they should.He was the most ungrateful thingThat lived in Grateful Wood.One day, this Victor RayHad a thorn stuck to his wing.But when Doctor Camel plucked it out,He left without saying a thing.The turkey strolled on.He walked like the wind.He was going to watch a movieAt the cinema on Rooster End.He found that there were no tickets leftWhen he saw a long legged goat.The goat said, “The tickets have sold out.We're all in the same boat!But luckily, I ordered a few,Twenty-nine, at least!And I've got a spare one.I'll give it as a gift, to you, from me!”The turkey just nodded.He strode into the movie hall.But when he sat down, he found that he was surrounded By goats that were big and tall.He saw the long legged goatIn the middle of the others.The long legged goat told the others to sit down.No one even looked at the turkey (No one even bothered).For the long legged goat knew The turkey was a bad one.He was hired by several othersTo get the killing job done. The goats were just pretendingTo ignore the turkey that was now fast asleep.When Victor Ray watches movies, he takes a nap,It's a habit of his, thought the long legged goat, and it's gonna make him weep!In the twinkling of an eye,The goats got to work.They made a little rustling noiseThat really startled the clerk.The clerk leapt out of his seat.He pulled out something red.It was sleeping droughtAnd it put the goats to bed.Victor was wide awake.He had seen the whole thing.He found a sword close to his neckThat fell to the ground with a cling.He suddenly realized his sins.He was ungrateful all the time!He went to find the clerk, but all that was left in the clerk's placeWas a shiny silver dime.He picked the dime up. Then he read the words on it.“Go and apologize to everyone who's helped you.I'll give you a sign when you are done!”So Victor set off.He was going to say sorryTo everyone that ever helped him,And those people could fill a lorry!He went to Doctor Camel's first, And Mrs. Badger on Apple Lane.Then he went to Mr. Elephant,Who had helped him find drugs that would rid him of pain.Then to young Tommy Kangaroo's houseThe turkey did go.Then around old Professor Toad's burrow and Jim Cat's shelterHe hovered to and fro.Old Mr. Snake's log pile,Ms. Rabbit's hole.Soon, he had visited everyone,Excepting Harry Mole.He charged to the Mole's house,And thanked him as quick as a flash.But he suddenly remembered the clerk,So back to the cinema he did dash.He called in the cinema,“Oh! Savior! Thank you!I've thanked everyone,Grumpy Old Mr. Eagle, too!So please show me a sign,Oh, please!”He suddenly stopped calling,For he saw someone in the trees.He saw a turkey crestAnd a turkey beak,And two bright turkey eyes,Above his turkey cheek.Victor recognized him at once.It was his father that had disappeared!He hugged his father, who had hopped into the window.“Oh father! It's been so many years!”They got reunited,The happy couple.They really loved each other.They loved each other on the double!And Victor's dad was a warrior,As you've probably guessed.So he taught his son martial arts,In both ways, Victor was best.最懂得感恩的火鸡从前,有一只火鸡,他的名字叫维克多•雷。他的名声非常不好,游手好闲,一天到黑。人们为什么如此恨他?这种感觉不是没有道理。因为他是感恩林里最不知道感恩的东西。话说有那么一天,维克多•雷的翅膀上扎了一根刺,骆驼医生帮他拔了出来,他扭头便走,也没说个谢字。火鸡继续前行,渐渐地,他脚下生风,他要到公鸡巷影城去看一场电影。到了影院,票已售光,这时,他看到一只长腿山羊。山羊说道:“票已售罄!咱们是同一条船上的,我的老兄。好在我提前订了几张,二十九张,不多不少。”这里还有多余的一张,送给你吧,谁叫你命好!”火鸡只是点了点头,接过票就往影院里走。他刚一落座,就发现一种现象,四周站立的全是山羊。他看到了那只长腿山羊,不偏不倚站在了中央。长腿山羊让大家坐下,没人正眼看一下火鸡。长腿山羊肚明心知,这只火鸡不是个东西。有人雇山羊把火鸡做掉。山羊故意装作不理不睬,此时的火鸡却已经睡着。火鸡看电影前有个习惯,他要先小憩一会儿,养养精神。山羊想着,心中窃喜,待会让你欲哭无门。说时迟来那时快,山羊一齐动起来。他们的动静可不轻,惊动了旁边的服务生。服务生他一跃而起,怀里掏出了一样红东西。那是一包蒙汗药,山羊一下全睡着。维克多他很清醒,整个过程看得仔细。脖子边上的杀人剑咣铛一声落了地。他认识到自己很犯浑,从来不知道什么是感恩。他要去找服务生,只见一毛硬币,不见了人影。他弯腰把硬币捡起来,上面的文字跃入眼里:“向你的恩人一一道歉,道歉完了,我示意你。”维克多把身离,他要去说“对不起”。帮过他的人可真多,绝对不止一卡车。第一站是骆驼大夫家,接着去苹果巷把獾太太找。然后便是象先生,他帮他弄到了止痛药。火鸡来到小袋鼠汤米的家门。在蛤蟆教授的洞前,在吉姆猫的窝边,犹犹豫豫,徘徊不前。老蛇先生的柴垛前,兔子太太的洞穴里,只剩下鼹鼠哈利的窝,他没有前去躬身赔礼。于是,他飞身前去,对哈利感谢万般。忽然想起服务生,又箭一般地返回影院。他在影院大声呼喊,“谢谢,恩人。谢谢,恩人。我已经挨个把门登,包括脾气坏的老鹰先生。请示意我吧,快示意我吧。”他突然变得很安静,林子里晃动着人影。他看到了火鸡的羽冠,和两只放光的眼,他看到了火鸡的嘴,还有火鸡的脸。维克多一眼就认了出来,那是他失散多年的老父亲。父亲跳到窗口,和维克多相互拥抱。“噢,父亲,真的是好久好久不见!”至此,父子二人,终于团圆。昔日彼此关爱, 如今倍加关心。维克多的父亲是名武士,这个你可能早已耳闻。他教给维克多搏击技巧,维克多成了彬彬有礼的武术达人。
