Become a member of Coffin Nation and support our work: www.coffinnation.com ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ “Amorous Leticia” is what my voice text recognition typed out once when I said, “Amoris Laetitia” (the 2016 Apostolic Exhortation by the man formerly known as Jorge Mario Bergoglio ) and it stuck. There is a lot of talk today about the German bishops as the culprits of false sexual liberation and the rejection of the Catholic sexual ethic. This week's guest, author John Gravino, says the Germans are simply representatives of the universal Church since the release of Amorous Leticia, which codifies the central errors of the infamous 1960s-70s dissenters. Many dots connected! In this Interview You Will Learn The names of the dissenters and what they held and rejected How AL, especially Section 8 and its footnotes, cannot be reconciled with Veritatis Splendor by St. John Paul II and other previous Catholic moral teachings How AL uses the term “irregular” as a proxy for accepting virtually any sexual sin by rejecting the notion of intrinsic evil Why “moral norms are exceptionless” cannot be reconciled with the teaching of Pope Francis How you can draw a straight line between the dissent establishment in seminaries and chanceries and the sexual abuse of minors. How Bishop Robert Barron of Los Angeles defends dissent with sophistry and glib denials and deflections How to level criticism of actual documents without bashing their authors.

Episode Summary:  Al Curtis and Sandi Maki are the creators of Ask the Pool Guy and Girl, a brand that began at the dawn of social media out of a sheer passion for the art and craft of building a pool.  Al, a lifelong member of the industry, is the face of the brand. He had his start at a summer job with a local pool company and never looked back. Sandi began working with Al in 2004 and used her cutting-edge marketing prowess to complement Al’s wealth of old-school industry expertise.  In the late 2000s, Al and Sandi began to host training sessions on how important it is for C-suite executives and company owners to embrace social media. Somewhere down the line, Al realized that he and Sandi had never actually applied these principles to their own business—at least not as well as they could be.  With nothing to lose, Sandi took a camera, pointed it at Al, and he began to talk all things pools. And he did it every day—whether or not he wanted to, whether or not he was out in the field, whether or not he looked “camera-ready”.  Listen in as Al and Sandi share their non-negotiable approach to securing great customers, how they turned the company into a family business, and how they have been able to create a beloved brand over the years by simply being their authentic selves and living legendary.  Topics Discussed:  02:17 - How the Al got into the pool industry  13:01 - How the Sandi got into the pool industry  16:23 - Al’s burnout and becoming partners  18:42 - Embracing and teaching social media  21:15 - The history of Ask the Pool Guy  26:54 - The backstory behind their office and company culture  32:00 - Al and Sandi’s approach to life and business  38:42 - The vision of Ask the Pool Guy coming to life  39:54 - How Al’s backflip landed a six-figure project  46:01 - How Al is actually an introvert  50:28 - Family business and “the construction girls”  1:01:40 - The evolution of Ask the Pool Guy and Ask the Pool Girl  1:12:21 - Why unfiltered authenticity is the way to go  1:23:58 - How to contact Al and Sandi        Sponsors:  Lyon Financial  LaMotte Company   Connect with Guest:  Ask the Pool Guy:  Website  Facebook  Instagram  Twitter  YouTube  Al LinkedIn  Sandi LinkedIn    Legendary Escapes:  Website  Facebook  Instagram  Pinterest  Houzz    Connect with Pool Chasers:  Website  Instagram  Facebook  Facebook Group  Twitter  YouTube  Patreon    Key Quotes from Episode:  Marketing is really about communication. ~Sandi  My goal, when we started proposing Ask the Pool Guy, was—other than just this YouTube channel that helped people learn about pools—how we could help other people in our industry—manufacturers and homeowners get answers. ~Al  If you can love every moment of your day and love what you're doing every day, you can’t help but love what you’re doing during the day. ~Al  The more than you hold onto your authentic self online and the more than you don’t try to play into what you think other people need you to be, the better it comes across because people can really relate to that. Don’t do it for the popularity. Do it for the purity of doing it. ~Sandi

If you're sick of competition and want to scale your Amazon business to another level, then bundling is for you. I hear you: you are worried that you won't find the right vendors or won't be able to sell your products, so you'd rather stick to retail arbitrage on Amazon. But while it can be scary to venture into the unknown, the success stories of doing bundles on Amazon are real. Meet Al Bereznay, an e-commerce veteran who has been running his online business since 1999. He started his online business on eBay as a side hustle for additional income.

He also shares his approach to research and bundling, how he leverages suppliers and vendors to increase business, and his advice to people who want to start bundling on Amazon.   “It doesn't matter how much we like the product; if we can't bundle it, we walk away from it.” - Al Bereznay   This week on the Amazon Files: Al's background and how he stumbled into Ecommerce Why Al switched from manufacturing management to selling on eBay full-time The “Midas' touch” days of Ecommerce Growing his business from a side hustle to his family's main source of income How Al realized that eBay wasn't enough and decided to explore other channels like Amazon Al's reluctance to start doing Amazon FBA and why he's now a solid believer of it How Al branched his Amazon business out to other products and the importance of diversification Al's first Amazon bundle and how he came up with the idea Why Al still does his bundling in-house and the benefits of outsourcing to a prep center Al's approach to bundling and his research process and framework The reason Al is a big fan of Merchant Words     Resources Mentioned: Helium10   Related Content: Merchant Words Amazon Files HUB Dream Big, Step Small by Kristin Ostrander     Want to Learn More?   It's time to discover our Wholesale Bundle System™ that is your roadmap to bundling success!

Real estate investors are cautious when it comes to implementing a short-term rental (STR) strategy because of the regulatory uncertainty in the space and the extra expense of hotel taxes. But what if we could enjoy the benefits of an Airbnb model WITHOUT the uncertainty or the extra expense? Al Williamson leverages an extended-stay strategy targeted at business travelers to 10X his net income on a small multifamily property. Al is a full-time real estate investor and Managing Partner of Easy Corporate Housing, an extended-stay STR housing solution for business travelers in Sacramento, California. He also serves as a speaker, author and mentor for investors through Leading Landlord, a platform designed to help landlords increase their income and equity. Al has developed creative strategies for growing NOI as much as 10X above a conventional landlord operation, and he shares those tactics in his books, Building Wealth with Inner City Rentals and 40 Ways to Increase the Net Income of Your Rental Property. Today, Al joins me to explain how he quit his job as a civil engineer with the cashflow from an 8-unit property in an inner-city neighborhood. He describes how he went about fixing the neighborhood and discusses what inspired him to experiment with a short-term rental strategy. Al also shares how to determine your target market and walks us through the six types of extended stay customers. Listen in for insight around the benefits of offering 30-day stays and learn how to identify an ideal property for the extended-stay STR model!    Key Takeaways How Al quit his job with an 8-unit class D property Reposition inner city neighborhood Leverage pay-day rent schedule Rent bicycles, coordinate internet How Al got started investing in real estate Started with house hack (3-unit building) Maintenance costs eating up cashflow Why Al purchased the 8-unit class D property Value of 3-unit quadrupled, ‘let’s do it again’ Remove blight (gangs, guns and prostitution) How Al went about fixing the neighborhood Exercise leadership + create sense of community Easy as calling in broken streetlights, parties Offer cash for keys as necessary What inspired Al to try a short-term rental strategy Travel for work himself, hated hotels Net income = 8 to 10X traditional model How Al implemented a short-term rental strategy Set aside single unit for business travelers Realized benefits of one-month threshold The best areas for an extended-stay, STR strategy Near Extended Stay America, Residence Inn Use Airbnb as backup plan Al’s advice for determining your target market List on Airbnb and see who comes Build relationships with local businesses The top 6 types of extended-stay customers Vacation travelers Medical Military Student housing Insurance Temporary Why Al only needs a few units to be successful Huge income per unit ($1800/month) Single unit covers cost of mortgage The ideal property for an extended-stay STR Margin far above market rent Furnish according to target guest Connect with Al Extended Stay Landlord Leading Landlord Al on BiggerPockets Al on LinkedIn Resources Mr. Landlord Building Wealth with Inner City Rentals: Success the Catalytic Landlord Way by Al Williamson 40 Ways to Increase the Net Income of Your Rental Property by Al Williamson Tim Hubbard on ABI EP111 Michael’s Mentorship Program Podcast Show Notes Review the Podcast on iTunes Michael’s Website Michael on Facebook Michael on Instagram Apartment Investor Network Facebook Group Financial Freedom with Real Estate Investing: The Blueprint to Quitting Your Job with Real Estate—Even Without Experience or Cash by Michael Blank

Businesses of any size, at some point, will need to create systems, especially if they have any intention of growing and scaling. Creating an operation manual and having an established organisational structure are fundamental steps to having the right systems in place with the right people you need. If you're interested in systems, operations, and other episodes with Al, you'll want to listen to these.

Unlike memos, manuals are a two-way conversation with your employees and serve as a more effective way to streamline the processes you have in place. For anything you have to do more than once, create a manual. Once you define and write your manual and adequately train your employees, there's little need to go over your processes and instructions repeatedly. Your team can quickly consult their manual. That's made even more accessible if it is in digital format because the copy they have is updated. Al also reminds everyone of the importance of improving your manuals as things change.

Our guest for this week’s show is Commercial Real estate Investment Expert, Al Klairmont.  Al has more than 38 years of industry experience and a long track record of success in the Chicago area. In today’s show, Al shares with us the core philosophies and investment strategies which have played a major role in getting him to where he is today. Al and his group currently own 100 Office, Retail, and Industrial properties in the Chicago area with more than 10 million square feet of leasable space. If that doesn’t impress you then how about if I told you that out of all 100 properties he only has very minimal leverage or debt and owns most of it free and clear with no outside equity partners.  In this show with Al you’re going to learn: How he got his start in the Real Estate business after college and the valuable lessons he learned by managing his father’s small commercial rental portfolio. Why he attributes a large piece of his success to the brilliant staff he has surrounded himself with at Imperial Realty. How Al has adapted over time to the changing real estate cycles which has allowed him and his company the ability to prosper both in up and down markets. The philosophy which he adopted from his father in which they implement an accelerated pay down plan to all properties they acquire and how this has proven a successful model through the numerous decades. Why his group caters towards distressed value-add commercial properties versus stabilized properties. The numerous reasons he feels that the office building sector is by far the most difficult to own and operate efficiently and is the exact reason why he and his team like distressed value-add office deals. Why he feels that you should never buy based on the current performance of a given property but more so how the property will perform in the future. Why he feels very strongly that if you want something done correctly then you need to supervise the person or persons responsible for completing the task or project. The reasons he suggests that all Real Estate professionals need to become masters at the art of sales and negotiation.

Good evening! Last week was rather busy with my root canal, 22 hour drive to Florida and graduation. I'm very happy to say that my family and I made it through everything with no problems, but last weeks episode had to be postponed. I'm still on vacation in Florida and just yesterday I had the privilege of attending the 4th Annual Mini-C conference in Boca Raton. I was initially invited by Tom of The Cool Kids of 9-1-1. He and I had been talking about promoting each others work and he mentioned this conference. It was promoted on Jabber Log and afterward he said it was too bad that Whitney and I couldn't be there during the conference. Well, it just so happened that I was going to be in Florida so I attended and recorded four great episodes.   This episode features Al, a 12 year volunteer with Boca Raton 9-1-1. He recently turned 95 years old and had much to say about 9-1-1. It was a great conversation! Episode topics - How Al became a volunteer The need for more 9-1-1 public education The need for more 9-1-1 training for dispatchers And much more! As always you can email the show at thejcast@thejabberlog.com and make sure to listen, share and visit The Cool Kids of 9-1-1 for more on the Mini-C!
