The deal’s numbers seemed solid to Rick Ginn from Flip with Rick from the start. The house’s PITI was $960, and the rents in the area were between $1400-$1500. It had great cash flow and the seller didn’t want to make another mortgage payment. Because she didn’t have enough equity, Rick did a subject-to on the house.Rick does not love being a landlord. He has a hard time saying no to tenants, and he’s inclined to believe their stories. So he turned to someone else to help him get his new property rented out. And when a buyer offered to pay a year’s rent upfront, Rick was just thrilled.The first inkling he had that something was going down at the house was when he saw his company’s name and a picture of the house on the front page of his town’s newspaper. The next clue was when the FBI called him up to talk about his role in their newest drug bust.It’s hard to decide which was more stressful for Rick: the potential damage to his reputation or the real damage he had to repair on the property. With six HVAC systems and a massive gun safe to get rid of, Rick spent months and months trying to get the property back into a liveable condition. And of course, reconnecting the electricity to the power grid was incredibly hard when the power company was ticked off at him.This deal took a lot of confidence out of Rick, and he generously shares how he changed his real estate strategies to make up for the weaknesses this whole experience exposed in his business. Pull up a chair and listen closely so that you can avoid the litigation nightmare that proceeds a drug bust.What's Inside:—As the self-proclaimed, “worst landlord in America”, listen to Rick’s advice about how to avoid wrecking your properties by outsourcing your weakness.—Great cash flow can potentially blind you to other problems in a subject-to.—How Rick vets tenants and property management companies today to protect himself from himself.

Rick Haney is a renowned researcher at the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the creator of the Haney Soil Analysis, an innovative extraction procedure to assess overall soil health and plant mineral availability. Today, John sits down with Rick to hear his story and discuss a future of agriculture centered around agronomic realities and biological processes. Throughout the episode, John and Rick cover a wide array of topics: The journey Rick took to discover an improved system for analyzing soil health, eventually leading to the development of his namesake soil assay. How Rick’s work and an emphasis on data can help growers save an average of $20 per acre in nitrogen applications. Over-fertilization and what soil respiration says about the fertility of a field. Rick’s battle with calibrations and the industry’s collective leaps in agronomic understanding since the 60’s. The work of Dr. Richard Mulvaney, namely the Illinois Soil Test, and how it compares to Haney’s soil nitrogen report.  The shortcomings of mainstream agronomic research and the power of “listening to nature.” The importance of using water and biological activity as the gauge of soil mineral release rather than acids and extractants to judge soil mineral content. Why many growers are routinely able to reduce Nitrogen and Phosphorus inputs. The importance of looking at real yields rather than soil test data as the sign of a well-functioning fertility program. The power of  embracing new developments in ag research and the future of in-field sensors.

Rick Pedley-Smith is a good man.  And, through his selfless work in developing and running the Rite of Passage Boys' Program, he's helping to make more good men.  Rick began his career in 1997 as a classroom teacher in Sydney before heading to the UK where he worked as a classroom teacher and outdoor education coordinator for an ‘Emotional & Behavioural Disorder Unit' in West London. Then for the past 16 years, Rick has worked at one of Sydney's largest high schools. The Rite of Passage Boys' Program is Rick's initiative which aims to re-engage and support boys who are considered ‘at-risk'.  Through the program, the team conducts overnight camps, treks and challenges to help develop resilience, self-esteem and a culture of positive masculinity. His program utilises physical as well as social and emotional challenges to develop self-awareness and a sense of purpose in the boys. As part of this, Rick has implemented numerous wellbeing initiatives that have led the community to raise over $19,000 for the Commando Welfare Trust and for villages along the Kokoda Track.   In this chat, Ben and Tim explore how Rick came to start Rite of Passage, and his intent to re-appropriate the concept of initiation into manhood.  He describes the development of the program, tells some amazing stories of the successful outcomes that have been achieved and talks to the very deliberate steps they have put in place to avoid the program creating an exclusionary ‘boys club'.

Joining us on the show today is Rick Caballo. Rick is a full reflection of art and creativity as a full-time passion and career. Now based in Nashville, Rick was born and raised in Wollongong, Sydney, Australia. Being a musical artist, Rick has played for audiences across Australia, the USA, and Europe. As a songwriter, he's won numerous accolades and has been nominated for several more. He has a natural passion for artistic creativity, and can easily multi-task multiple projects as a musician, photographer, fashion designer, graphic, and web designer. Getting into design Growing up as a little kid, Rick was always in love with the design. He found himself drawn to anything that involved creativity as a working process. While still performing as a music artist, Rick started a screen-printing and branding company in Australia that grew to be a massive source of income for him. Despite having a deep passion rooted in music and striving to be a major rockstar in Australia, Rick's constant struggles to make it big eventually led him to accept that he was just as talented and blessed in working as a branding creative as a musician. With time, he learned to accept and embrace this reality, and this has in turn led him into a successful career working as a branding principle in this successful company alongside his wife Melissa Core. Rick's working experience as a branding manager. As the co-founder and manager of Deadhorse branding. Rick has had the pleasure of working with several top producers, singers, and songwriters. He finds joy in working with a diverse group of artists in the entertainment scene and helping them establish their brand and find their identity. He, however, notes that despite being so talented, some of the current young generations of artists are setback by poor work ethic which is characterized by lack of consistency, hard work, and persistence. Social media has influenced so many of the young artists into subconsciously being demotivated and only shooting for short term gratification. Recently a Dad, Rick enjoys the experience of being a father to his newly born daughter, Felix Rose, who is a cornerstone and source of joy for him and his wife. As a creative brand manager, Rick finds joy and fulfillment in helping artists find and live by a brand identity that suits them. In return, Rick has also learned so much about music, song-writing, and fashion through the numerous clients who reciprocate their knowledge with Rick. Stay tuned and find out why staying focused on one particular niche and branding yourself is the key to any successful career.

What is it like to work in a friendly, growth-minded office culture? And, how does that affect everything you do? This conversation between Rick and Sarah is a deep dive into what works — and what doesn’t — in the relationship between a company’s “captain,” and its crew. Plus, the difference between what college taught her about marketing, and what she’s learned in the field.   Today we hear the truth about: How “Rick is a weirdo” (inside scoop from Sarah) The 3 ways to get people to follow you: paying, using fear, or inspiring them Why Rick had to withdraw himself from the majority of the hiring process for new team members The “Wine & Whiskey Wednesdays” tradition that brings joy to their work week How Sarah’s marketing major didn’t give her all the tools needed to be effective; but studying in the business world did   The Straight Truth: If you hold someone’s employment over their head to get them to perform, you’re a sucky leader.   The One Thing: People dig themselves into a hole and assume they need help to get out. You may need that help; but you have every capability to take the action to get yourself out (and, to not fall back in…).   Sarah’s One Thing: Surrounding yourself with others who have a constructive mindset is the key to supporting your own. (And! Keep company culture in mind when looking for a job; and take every opportunity you’re given at work to learn new tools.)    Episode References: All In Growth Conference: World-class speakers, next-level networking, grow your abundance & fulfillment.

I was trying to run a very large company as if it was a small company.” “Being more deliberate with different parts of the company...finding people who could be owners of those parts of the company was a huge shift.” “Once you get to a certain level, you can’t survive and lead a healthy lifestyle without learning how to rely on other people.” “I’m a big proponent of hiring within. If you have a structure to progress people into higher leadership positions, then I think that’s a great thing.” ------------------------ HIGHLIGHTS: [1:40] How was HJ Holtz & Sons started?

  Today I’m bringing back one of my favorites, Facebook ads guru, Rick Mulready. The difference is today I’ve got him nervous—because he’s here to share with you what he’s NEVER shared before…he’s taking you behind the scenes and letting you in on his process of how he got to a million dollars in just one year (!). He’s also talking about how he reached that number with a decent (but not monster-sized) list of 17,000 (which once upon a time was 30,000). You know I love to talk tips, tricks, and strategies, but I also think it’s important to look at how you are thinking, how you are feeling, what motivates you to make certain decisions and how they actually work for you… which is what Rick is sharing today. Tips and tricks will only get you so far unless you learn to get your head on straight around everything you’re working on in your business. And Rick is ready to get raw and honest and show you the shifts he made during 2017 and the results these changes had on his life and business. Let’s get all of the scoop. Check out these highlights: Random moment of the episode: my new sauna (I didn’t bring this up myself, but it’s a fun tidbit to hear). [4:40] The offers Rick made in 2017 to get to a million bucks. [8:20] The issue of quantity vs. quality for your business model. [10:46] How Rick changed the way he was thinking about his own email list size. [13:38] Shifting your mindset from a lack to abundance as it relates to your team. [27:55] Let’s get honest: Are you not growing your team because you’re scared to spend money? [32:29] At some point, you might not make it without a team… [37:55] Rick’s awesome email list re-engagement campaign.

One area where transformation has the potential for high impact that improves lives is Public Safety.

Our conversation explores how government has the unique opportunity to improve lives and protect citizens through technology as part of their "smart cities" initiatives. Microsoft has it's own smart city program known as City Next. It’s a really great conversation for partners looking to learn more about this market, how the perception of Cloud has changed, and how Microsoft Gov Cloud drives transformation in this market. In this episode we explore: How Microsoft serves the law enforcement and public safety community. How this evolved from core infrastructure to supporting the transformative capabilities of the cloud. How Rick ended up focused on this specific vertical. Three areas where the cloud opens up transformation. How the perception of "cloud" has changed in the Law Enforcement market. Solutions he is seeing in this market from ISV's - Independent Solution Vendors. The opportunity for partners to take their core competencies from other sectors and markets into public sector. How IoT - Internet of Things - devices and sensors are changing the conversation. Characteristics of a great partner, advice for partners that struggle and the work he does to help partners along their transformational journey to the cloud.

[rev_slider alias="episode-8-rick-lopez-showrunner-assistant"][/rev_slider] On this episode of Career Closeup, we meet Rick Lopez.  Rick works on the set of Fox’s hit series Lucifer as the assistant to the Showrunner(s).  While many of us have heard about the executive producer, producer, and directors associated with television shows and in big screen movies, who truly runs everything in a production? The “CEO” of the set on any given television series is the Showrunner.  The Showrunner hires the producers, directors, actors and staff for a series.  This incredibly busy individual gets the praise as well as the blame for the success or failure of a show.  As one of the showrunner's assistants to two showrunners, Rick keeps "the train on the tracks." Rick is the gatekeeper that coordinates everything at his level as assistant, allowing the show runners the time to focus on "a billion decisions a day."  It's not a job for everybody, but it offers insight and contact with many areas involved in getting ideas turned into scenes on TV.  It is an ideal job to gain experience and access if one wants to become a writer.   Links: About the show: Lucifer Link to documentary on Showrunners Blog about a showrunner's assistant Showrunner's Assistant interview on Any Possibility Shownotes: 0:00    Introduction to Rick and summary of show Lucifer 4:00    Description/responsibilities of showrunner 7:51    What the cast and crew/the team is like 11:00 Favorite thing to do and the most challenging part of your job 16:01 How Rick heard about job/became interested in it 17:00 What is common to all writer’s rooms 19:23  An average day and things Rick loves most about his job 25:55  Competitiveness and what can make you stand out 32:47  Tips for college students wanting to go into writing or working on a show 42:59 Qualities that would be beneficial as a showrunner’s assistant 47:08  Summary

This week's episode of Talking TV With Liz and Lindi breaks down The Walking Dead 7x10, "New Best Friends." We met a hipster-looking crew that lives in a middle of a trash dump, a medieval-looking Walker, and we also get the reunion our feels have been waiting for.

There’s a lot of momentum around teams and scalability right now, but is this conversation giving enough attention to relevance? Are you building a real estate business on the right foundation? On this episode, Century21 CEO, Rick Davidson shares valuable insights on real estate teams, leadership at a global scale, and why everything comes down to relevance to the consumer.   How do we stay nimble enough as a really big company, in order to respond to the speed of the market, at the speed of the customer? -Rick Davidson Takeaways + Tactics If you're not relevant to your customer, you're not going to be able to scale. If you're a broker, keep an eye on the consumer and helping the agent be more relevant to them. Agent teams have to understand that brokers have to be profitable. You cannot build a team model that doesn't allow the broker to make a profit. Many people talk about scaling, growing and developing multiple streams of income - they forget that they actually have to execute. At the start of the show, Rick shared how he helps the team keep their eyes on the summit. “You have to understand where your organization is going in the long-term, and ensure you have frequent and consistent messaging.” He also shared how the organization keeps itself nimble to move with the market. Next, we talked about scalability, and how it relates to relevancy. We went on to talk about teams, “you as an individual, need to be as strong a member of that team as everyone else.” Towards the end of the show we discussed how market disruptions can be prevented by being more relevant, and getting ahead of the needs of the consumer. Rick also shared insights on: Getting agents focused in the right direction Establishing goals to achieve the overall vision How the agent’s relevance to a consumer connects to the broker’s relevance to the agent The proliferation of teams in real estate How value takes care of the compensation conversation How brokers can be more relevant to agents How Rick stays energized and maintains his enthusiasm for life and work The importance of doing good and doing good business The market is ripe for external disruption, and that only happens when the market gives room for it. We must anticipate disruptors, and understand what’s needed to be relevant to the consumer. We must position ourselves to provide a distinct and unique service by building the right structures for win-win scenarios for the broker, agent and consumer. The agent has to be relevant to the consumer. The broker has to be relevant to the agent by providing the culture, platform, tools and resources to flourish.

The current established level for Arsenic is 10mcg/day. Why Labdoor decided to use a never approved or accepted proposal in unclear. In regards to the Natural Calm supplement, here is Natural Vitality's official statement on it: "The simple truth is that Natural Calm both meets its potency label claim and is well within the No Significant Risk Levels for arsenic and in fact is less than 10 percent of California’s Prop 65 stringent safe threshold levels. This has been consistently scientifically validated by third party test results from top American testing labs as part of standard Good Manufacturing Practices. While testing results commissioned by Labdoor, when correctly interpreted, align perfectly with our results, their report contains a number of distortions which provide both a highly inaccurate picture and a disservice to consumers. We believe Labdoor is attempting to use our well-deserved, award-winning reputation to inflate their importance. Apparently their business model involves casting themselves as a “trusted source” by creating sensationalized stories to drive traffic to their website with the objective of creating profit from advertising sales and, interestingly, sales of supplements. Factual Flaws Labdoor’s Natural Calm test size was over two and a half times our recommended serving size but they did not factor that into their analysis. When correctly interpreted our results read: Magnesium was 346 mg, about a 1% variance from our label claim of 350 mg. Arsenic was .7992 of a microgram. Less than 8% of the California Prop 65 No Significant Risk safe threshold. Labdoor was approached regarding their misinterpretation of the results and asked to retract their press release, send out a corrected press release and update their website. However, Labdoor refused to admit wrong doing of any kind and continues to assert the virtue of their inaccurate position. At this point, both through the correct interpretation of the assay provided to us from Labdoor and our retest of the lot in question, Natural Calm has been clearly shown to be accurate both in terms of label claim and in following California’s Prop 65. The laboratory used by both Labdoor and Natural Vitality was the highly regarded Covance laboratories. Covance’s interpretation of test results (both Labdoors and ours) validates our position in terms of label claim and purity. Additional information is available at Natural Vitality customer service if desired (info@naturalvitality.com). Having cleared the record with scientific facts, we now consider this matter closed."

  TODAY'S GUEST: Rick Simpson is a retired power engineer who worked for 25 years in the medical system in Canada.  After suffering a severe head injury in 1997 he took all the medications that the doctors prescribed, but their side effects did nothing but harm.  So in desperation he turned to the use of cannabis extracts, which he produced himself and quickly found that he had discovered the greatest natural medicine on earth.  After learning the truth about the amazing healing abilities of these extracts, he then went to everyone in authority to have its use recognized once more,  but found that in reality those who control our lives, wanted to keep the truth hidden from public view.  Having nowhere else to turn, he then made this knowledge public and since that time countless individuals worldwide have used his information to cure or control illnesses for which our current medical systems have no solution. Rick Simpson was giving the oil away for free, since he was growing plants in his own backyard, while he was still in Canada, until 2009, when the Royal Canadian Mounted Police did the final raid at his home. Rick was always talking about THC oil, and not CBD oil. The oil that he was giving away for free had a very high percentage of THC and it also contained low levels of CBD and other cannabinoids.  Today these extracts are usually called RSO or Rick Simpson Oil and it was the previous leader of the hemp movement Jack Herer himself who coined this phrase. Since 2013 Rick no longer lives in Canada. "I want people to know how to heal themselves."  -  Rick Simpson NOTE: Rick Simpson does not want to be connected with any company that is producing hemp oil. We need to get your confirmation that you are not going to use the interview with Rick, to promote such organisations.   Connect With Today's guest: RICK SIMPSON Website: http://phoenixtears.ca/ On YouTube On Facebook IN THIS EPISODE: My conversation with Rick Simpson continues on this episode of Vidal Speaks. He's a fount of knowledge when it comes to the growing of cannabis for medicinal purposes and gives some detailed information on this episode about the species he grows, how he creates the extracts and oils from the plant, and even gives some non-solvent based solutions to extracting the medicinal properties of the cannabis. That makes me feel a lot safer doing this myself and I think it will for my of you. Rick Simpson's feeling about traditional medicine is not good. With the experiences he's had with the wonders of medicinal cannabis I can see why. If you want to know the wide variety of treatments that can be addressed and even totally healed by using cannabis extracts, Rick shares a handful of stories of the things he's seen on this episode. I hope you'll listen with an open mind. Medicinal cannabis has been applied to a variety of ailments thousands of years and today's guest, Rick Simpson, believes that there has been clear proof that it can be used to cure cancer for at least 150 years. Why haven't we heard about it sooner? Rick believes that both the medical establishment and the pharmaceutical companies have far too much to lose in terms of profit to allow the medicinal use of cannabis to be clearly revealed. That's why he's been so outspoken about this wonderful healing plant over the years. What kind of ailments do you suffer from? Would you do anything to experience true healing? If that's the case you'll want to hear what my guest, Rick Simpson has to say - but you'll need to come with an open mind. He's a proponent of the medicinal uses of the cannabis plant, which has been demonized under the term “marijuana.” On this episode Rick gives clear data that shows how cannabis has been used to treat and cure many diseases that the medical establishment continues to throw addictive drugs at. I bring this conversation to you in hopes that you can find the healing you truly need. If you know someone who is suffering from cancer of any kind, skin ailments, breathing issues, or some unknown condition, please allow your care for them to motivate you to action. Rick Simpson's generous sharing in this conversation could be the answer they've been looking for. Medicinal cannabis is not an addictive drug or a terrible thing only “potheads” use. When made and used responsibly, like any medicine cannabis can have tremendous benefits that defy explanation. Please, take the time to listen and share this episode with those you love who need this information.

Connect With Today's guest: RICK SIMPSON Website: http://phoenixtears.ca/ On YouTube On Facebook IN THIS EPISODE ABOUT THE MEDICAL USES OF CANNABIS: Today's conversation is one that I'm especially happy to bring to you because it has to do with the real ways that people who are currently suffering from terrible diseases like cancer can take control of their own health, remediating the pain and even curing their illness through the use of a controversial but proven treatment - medical cannabis. As you can see from Rick Simpson's bio above, he's one of the people on the front lines - not only of the use of cannabis as a legitimate medical treatment but also in leading the charge to repeal the ridiculous laws worldwide that keep people from being their own best physician. This conversation about the medical uses of cannabis ranges widely - from how Rick Simpson began his own experimentation with distilling essential oils from the cannabis plant, to the legal threats he's experienced as a result, to many of the details about what the cannabis plant actually does in the body and how it gives relief not only to pain in the actual healing of many diseases people are suffering from all over the world. I want to encourage you to open your mind… to think about cannabis differently. Neither my guest, Rick Simpson, nor I are encouraging anyone to spend their lives high from smoking marijuana. What we're imploring people to consider is that this plant, though controversial because of its use as a drug in some contexts, is also endowed with the ability to be a truly helpful medicine for many who suffer needlessly. What can we do to make the way easier for those who suffer to manage their own pain and set their lives on a better pathway toward health? Rick Simpson is a man who is willing to ask those difficult questions and lead the charge toward legalization of cannabis for medical uses and to educate people how they can use the plant for its medicinal properties in safe and effective ways. You will get so much from listening to this conversation so I encourage you to do it - and to do so with an open mind.
