In this short Q&A podcast episode, Bryan answers a question from Evan, a licensed mold assessment consultant, about system oversizing: What can be done when an HVAC system is oversized to control humidity and keep occupants comfortable? The extent of the problem will depend on how badly the equipment is oversized, whether it has any turn-down or staging, and how the latent capacity is set up. To make the equipment work as best as it can, reducing the airflow to about 350 CFM per ton can help, as well as properly setting up dehumidification modes. The downside to slower airflow is a likely increase in cabinet and duct sweating. In brand-new houses, it may be possible to swap the condenser (though it may be unlikely with the recent refrigerant change) and then drop airflow at the air handler. You can use AHRI's data to look for a possible match and then check the manufacturer's expanded performance data to verify whether a new condenser is a match.  It's also possible to decouple the latent and sensible loads by installing a dehumidifier. However, completely decoupling the loads is not always practical, as a properly-sized HVAC system is the main source of dehumidification (and the dehumidifier fills in the gaps). Dehumidifiers need to be installed properly (with the supply ducted into the supply duct).  Intentionally derating the equipment's cooling capacity, such as via reheat, will turn it into a better dehumidifier, but you're still adding sensible BTUs and need to be aware of the consequences of that, including higher power bills. You can use electric reheat, remove insulation, or remove shades from windows. Using a smaller compressor until the system can be replaced and downsized would achieve a similar effect but comes with other negative consequences. Right-sizing equipment, load-matching, and managing air movement and heat transfer are ultimately the keys to preventing moisture problems.   Have a question that you want us to answer on the podcast?

Matthew 25:1-13 “Then the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went to meet the bridegroom. 2 Five of them were foolish, and five were wise. 3 For when the foolish took their lamps, they took no oil with them, 4 but the wise took flasks of oil with their lamps. 5 As the bridegroom was delayed, they all became drowsy and slept. 6 But at midnight there was a cry, ‘Here is the bridegroom! Come out to meet him.' 7 Then all those virgins rose and trimmed their lamps. 8 And the foolish said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.' 9 But the wise answered, saying, ‘Since there will not be enough for us and for you, go rather to the dealers and buy for yourselves.' 10 And while they were going to buy, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the marriage feast, and the door was shut. 11 Afterward the other virgins came also, saying, ‘Lord, lord, open to us.' 12 But he answered, ‘Truly, I say to you, I do not know you.' 13 Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour.   1 Peter 4:7-11 7 The end of all things is at hand; therefore be self-controlled and sober-minded for the sake of your prayers. 8 Above all, keep loving one another earnestly, since love covers a multitude of sins. 9 Show hospitality to one another without grumbling. 10 As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God's varied grace: 11 whoever speaks, as one who speaks oracles of God; whoever serves, as one who serves by the strength that God supplies—in order that in everything God may be glorified through Jesus Christ. To him belong glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.   Introduction: The Question That Remains              "How then shall we live?"   Live Watchfully (Matthew 25:1–13)   Live Intentionally (1 Peter 4:7)     Love Deeply (1 Peter 4:8–9)   Serve Faithfully (1 Peter 4:10–11)   Conclusion: Living in Light of His Return

Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Dr. Tiffany BusseyTitle: Director, Morehouse Innovation and Entrepreneurship Center (MIEC)Dr. Tiffany Bussey discusses how the Morehouse Innovation and Entrepreneurship Center works to scale Black- and Brown-owned businesses, close the racial wealth gap, and intentionally connect entrepreneurs and workers to capital, contracts, and emerging industries, particularly in sustainability. Purpose of the Interview The interview serves to: Educate listeners about the systemic barriers facing Black entrepreneurs beyond access to capital. Highlight practical solutions—programs, partnerships, and ecosystems—that create real economic outcomes. Shift mindsets around entrepreneurship, risk, and opportunity, especially in underserved communities. Expose listeners to emerging, high-growth industries (e.g., sustainability, EVs, renewable energy) instead of oversaturated traditional businesses. Promote community-based economic ecosystems, particularly the collaboration between Morehouse, Goodwill, and corporate partners. Key Themes & Takeaways 1. Entrepreneurship as a Tool for Closing the Wealth Gap Dr. Bussey positions entrepreneurship and business ownership as one of the most effective ways to generate long-term wealth in Black communities. The Center has supported 400+ scalable, mid-sized businesses, resulting in: 850+ jobs created $34M+ in new capital accessed $82M+ in new revenue generated Key insight: The problem isn’t a lack of capable Black businesses—it’s visibility, access, and opportunity. 2. “Access to Opportunity” Matters as Much as Capital While access to capital dominates the conversation, Dr. Bussey emphasizes access to contracts and decision-makers. MIEC programs are designed with opportunity partners (large corporations, general contractors, primes) so participants gain: Exposure to real contracts Understanding of supply chains Direct relationships with decision-makers Takeaway: Capital without revenue and customers won’t sustain a business. 3. The Three C’s of Business Growth Dr. Bussey outlines MIEC’s core framework: Capital – Funding and financial resources Connections – Two-way, relationship-based networks Contracts – Revenue-generating opportunities She stresses that connections only matter if relationships are mutual—it’s not enough to “know someone” unless they also understand your value. 4. Breaking Stereotypes About Black-Owned Businesses Dr. Bussey addresses harmful narratives around skill, readiness, and qualifications. She highlights intentional strategies to: Prepare businesses before opportunities arise Align training and recruitment with future industries Counter biases through performance, scale, and visibility Key idea: Preparation plus access dismantles bias. 5. Sustainability = One of the Largest Economic Opportunities Dr. Bussey reframes sustainability as an economic opportunity, not just an environmental issue: Electric Vehicles: ~$163B industry Green Construction: ~$324B industry Renewable Energy: ~$952B industry Sustainable Agriculture: ~$20B industry She urges listeners to stop defaulting to oversaturated businesses (e.g., nightclubs) and instead pursue industries that are expanding rapidly and globally. 6. Workforce Development + Business Development Must Align Goodwill provides free job training, certifications, and even stipends for individuals. Morehouse trains businesses that can hire those workers, creating a full economic loop. This ecosystem addresses two major barriers simultaneously: Human capital Business readiness Takeaway: Economic equity requires aligned systems, not isolated programs. 7. Entrepreneurship Is Rewarding—but Not Romantic Dr. Bussey demystifies entrepreneurship: It’s high-risk, exhausting, and statistically likely to fail early. Failure is part of the process, but historical and financial realities make risk harder for Black entrepreneurs. Ownership remains critical despite these challenges. Key message: Entrepreneurship is powerful, but it must be supported intentionally. Notable Quotes “Entrepreneurship and small businesses are one of the pathways to closing the racial income inequality gap.” “We don’t just provide technical assistance for technical assistance’s sake—this is about creating real opportunity.” “Capital dominates the conversation, but contracts are equally important.” “People don’t buy products or services. They buy solutions.” “We have to stop thinking only about what we feel we have access to.” “Sustainability is not one industry—it’s multiple trillion-dollar opportunities.” “Entrepreneurship is the most rewarding and the most fatiguing thing you’ll ever do.” Overall Impact The interview functions as both a masterclass and a call to action: For entrepreneurs: Think bigger, pursue scalable industries, and prepare for opportunity. For communities: Build ecosystems, not silos. For institutions and corporations: Inclusion requires intentional design. Dr. Tiffany Bussey presents a practical, data-backed roadmap for inclusive economic development—centered on ownership, access, and readiness. #STRAW #SHMS #BESTSteve Harvey Morning Show Online: http://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What is intentional creation and how do you do it? Intentionally creating something means focusing your thoughts, emotions and actions toward a specific outcome. Most of us operate on what is called “autopilot” or we react to the circumstances in our life rather than choosing our destiny through mindfulness and deliberate effort.Join Trey Malicoat and I as we discuss this concept and how your life can give you everything you want by defining what you desire and then taking consistent action. It also involves releasing limiting beliefs and practicing gratitude which shifts your focus in life.

Welcome to our Agile Tales as we continue our conversations with Rich Sheridan, founder, CEO, and chief storyteller at Menlo Innovations.Aside from founding and leading Menlo Innovations, Rich is also the author of the best-selling books Joy Inc. and Chief Joy Officer, which argue that joy is essential to productivity and profitability in the workplace. Rich recounts his journey from early programming success and a rapid rise to VP to feeling despondent amid chaotic, late, over-budget software delivery, which sparked a search for better ways to organize people. In this episode, Rich explains Menlo's “High Tech Anthropology,” a patented term for designers who study end users in their native environments to learn workflows and vocabulary, aiming to end “human suffering” caused by technology and create software that delights without manuals or training. He shares examples of widespread frustration with systems such as electronic medical records and ERP systems, then revisits the Langley vs. Wright brothers story to highlight purpose-driven discovery. He then presents an airplane model for organizations: lift of human energy over the weight of bureaucracy, and thrust of purpose over the drag of fear, emphasizing clarity, completing meaningful work, reducing meeting load, taking action through experiments, and eliminating fear-based management.00:00 Welcome to Our Agile Tales01:46 High Tech Anthropology Explained04:30 Designing for Real Users06:59 Why Software Causes Suffering09:14 Wright Brothers Purpose Story14:23 Airplane Model for Organizations16:44 Lift Human Energy at Work19:09 Meetings and Bureaucracy Trap22:17 Drag of Fear Leadership24:39 Closing and Next EpisodeAbout Rich SheridanRich Sheridan is the CEO and Chief Storyteller at Menlo Innovations and the best-selling author of Joy Inc. and Chief Joy Officer.

Send us Fan MailVanessa Lopez is the host of Intentionally Well, a podcast rooted in honest conversations about healing, wholeness, and what it really looks like to rebuild health from the inside out. She brings over two decades of experience across health, wellness, fitness, skincare, and education, along with a personal journey that has deeply reshaped how she understands the body, stress, and long-term healing.Much of Vanessa's work is informed by her own ongoing health journey, one that has required her to slow down, re-evaluate what wellness actually means, and face the reality that healing is rarely linear. Over time, she's developed a more nuanced perspective on the connection between the physical, emotional, and spiritual layers of health, with a focus on sustainability, nervous system awareness, and compassionate restoration rather than quick fixes.Through her podcast interviews, writing, and social media presence, Vanessa creates space for conversations that are honest and unpolished in the best way...where complexity is allowed, and where people can feel less alone in what they're navigating. She's especially drawn to the intersection of faith, chronic stress, identity, and the deeper emotional layers that often sit underneath physical symptoms.When she's not creating or sharing in those spaces, she's almost always with her two rescue dogs, Pearl and Tillie, and still walking through much of what she speaks about in real time.Find Vanessa at-Podcast- Intentionally WellIG- @well.with.vanessaSubstack- @intentionallywellreflectionsFind Boundless Body at-myboundlessbody.comBook a session with us here!

Laura Tribbett's evolutionary path into interior design had a remarkably early and structured beginning in the public school system of suburban Twin Cities, Minnesota. In the mid-1990s, a fourth-grade school assignment requiring graph paper and a scaled cardboard model house sparked a lifelong fascination with space planning. Growing up in a household with a one-story layout, a young Laura designed a two-story miniature cabin with a dramatic opening overlooking the main floor—an architectural element that represented the ultimate luxury in her eyes. This formative cardboard project established a clear lane that she would eagerly follow into adulthood.As the youngest of three siblings, Laura enjoyed a high degree of creative autonomy within her home. Her parents, who balanced careers as musicians and language and math teachers, gave her free rein to experiment, allowing her to constantly rearrange her furniture and explore 1990s trends like sponge painting and wallpaper borders. This self-directed exploration was heavily supplemented by consuming shelter magazines and racing home from school to absorb the transformative—and sometimes wildly chaotic—episodes of early home improvement television programs like TLC's Trading Spaces.While she pursued interior design as her core major in college, Laura candidly acknowledges that her real education only truly commenced upon stepping into professional high-stakes work environments. She sharpened her skills across the industry before taking the leap to launch her own firm. Intentionally naming the venture "Outline Interiors" rather than utilizing her own name, she aimed to establish a highly collaborative environment focused on collective, beautiful execution rather than individual vanity. Her path highlights how a blend of early public educational opportunities and a passion for spatial puzzle-solving can build a lasting legacy.

If you are looking to bring your congregation to be healthy and revitalized, first you need the gospel of Jesus Christ. Then there are five shifts that are needed in attitudes, assumptions and their related behaviors. The first shift may be found in the previous episode and the second shift as described here is shifting from the "I'll just do it myself" approach to intentionally involving others. The result is a healthy sharing of responsibility and leadership but even more than that a way in which people can participate and grow in their faith. Research and our own experience shows that those who are involved attend worship more often, invite people more often and give more faithfully.

Welcome back to Drummers on Drumming, powered by Big Fat Snare Drum. This episode is a new installment of The Drum Panel, and it's Part TWO of TWO of diving into Chick Corea's Cheap But Good Advice For Playing Music in a Group. I'm joined by good friend of mine ⁠Rafa Vidal⁠, who also plays with the band Almost Monday, who are currently killing it, and of course ⁠Eric Somers-Urrea ⁠is back on the panel. In Part One, we covered numbers 1 through 6. Today, we're finishing the list with numbers 7 through 16, which get into some really good stuff: balance, intention, taste, space, relaxation, ego, and what it actually means to serve the music. As always with The Drum Panel, we're not pretending to have all the answers. We're just using these ideas as a jumping-off point to talk about playing music, being in bands, staying creative, and trying to become better musicians without losing our minds. ——— Chick Corea's Cheap But Good Advice For Playing Music in a Group. Play only what you hear. If you don't hear anything, don't play anything. Don't let your fingers and limbs wander. Place them intentionally. Don't improvise on endlessly. Play something with intention, develop it or not, then end off and take a break. Leave space. Create space. Intentionally create places where you don't play. Make your sound blend. Listen to your sound and adjust it to the rest of the band and the room. If you play more than one instrument at a time, like a drum kit or multiple keyboards, make sure they are balanced with one another. Don't make any of your music mechanically or just through patterns of habit. Create each sound, phrase, and piece with choice, deliberately. Guide your choice of what to play by what you like, not by what someone else will think. Use contrast and balance the elements: high/low, fast/slow, loud/soft, tense/relaxed, dense/sparse. Play to make the other musicians sound good. Play things that will make the overall music sound good. Play with a relaxed body. Always release whatever tension you create. Create space. Begin, develop, and end phrases with intention. Never beat or pound your instrument. Play it easily and gracefully. Create space, then place something in it. Use mimicry sparsely. Mostly create phrases that contrast with and develop the phrases of the other players. We also get into a Rafa's new endeavor called Touch Grooves.

Intentionally triggering, offensive and outrageous videos about Australian migrant communities are proliferating online. But the videos aren't real — they're AI-generated — and the networks profiting off them are based overseas. - Avustralya'daki göçmen toplumlar hakkında kasıtlı olarak kışkırtıcı, saldırgan ve şok edici videolar internette hızla yayılıyor.

Welcome to our Agile Tales as we continue our conversations with Rich Sheridan, founder, CEO, and chief storyteller at Menlo Innovations.Aside from founding and leading Menlo Innovations, Rich is also the author of the best-selling books Joy Inc. and Chief Joy Officer, which argue that joy is essential to productivity and profitability in the workplace. Rich recounts his journey from early programming success and a rapid rise to VP to feeling despondent amid chaotic, late, over-budget software delivery, which sparked a search for better ways to organize people. In this episode, we asked Rich whether removing meetings changes culture, and he avoids a blanket “no meetings” rule and instead distinguishes unproductive meetings from structured rituals (kickoffs, estimation, show-and-tell, planning games) with clear roles, artifacts, decision capture, and visible system effects, drawing on systems thinking from Peter Senge's The Fifth Discipline. He argues disengagement reflects management's failure to create conditions and an intentional culture (at Menlo, defined by “joy” and expected behaviors like pairing and sharing). He urges an external focus that extends even to employees' families, citing Menlo's practice of allowing newborns at work. To overcome “that won't work here” drag from anyone, he advocates “Let's try it before we defeat it—run the experiment,” emphasizing small, low-risk experiments, trust, and purpose as a simple, memorable guide through tough times and culture shifts like mergers, reinforced through daily practices and HR processes (noting Menlo has no HR department).Key topics and timestamps:00:00 Welcome to Our Agile Tales01:37 Meetings vs Rituals03:58 Systems That Reduce Drag05:31 Intentional Culture Basics06:56 Beyond Customers Impact08:14 Babies at Work Story11:51 Try It Before Defeat15:39 Experiment Culture Spreads18:28 Measuring Experiments Trust19:56 Purpose That Endures Storms22:37 Transform Default Culture26:16 ClosingAbout Rich SheridanRich Sheridan is the CEO and Chief Storyteller at Menlo Innovations and the best-selling author of Joy Inc. and Chief Joy Officer.

Are heavy environments, old arguments, or stressful commutes taking over your peace of mind? In this guided Distance Reiki journey, Robyn Benelli leads you through a sacred exercise to scan, clear, bless, and seal your physical surroundings. Learn how to leverage the power of Reiki symbols to dissolve stagnant emotional residue and negative thought loops, restoring divine mind clarity and nervous system regulation to your home, office, or vehicle. Key Insights Environmental Maintenance for Your Authentic Self: Environments hold onto an energetic footprint of daily life, causing your emotional state to shift the moment you step into a compromised area—such as a kitchen sink, a car, or an office. Scanning your space allows you to identify where these fields drop, letting you purposefully restore the area back to a state that matches your authentic mind. Rooting Out the Source of the Imprint: Heavy energy often lingers because it's anchored to a past event or relationship. By deploying the distance symbol to the origin of the imprint, Reiki steps outside of time to clear the stagnation from its point of inception all the way forward to your present day, creating a permanent filter of light. Sealing Your Space for Ongoing Protection: Clearing an environment is only half the battle; structural boundaries must be established. Intentionally drawing or intending the power symbol (CKR) and mental-emotional symbol (SHK) over thresholds, mirrors, doors, and windows acts as a structural seal that protects the space from outside projections and helps the room continuously hold its high-frequency vibration. People Also Ask (FAQ) How can I do a space clearing if I don't know all the Reiki symbols? You do not need to be attuned to specific symbols to clear a space. Reiki energy responds entirely to your pure intention and higher self. Simply channeling pure Reiki love and light into a room while asking your spiritual guides to lift heavy densities will perfectly accomplish the clearing. What does it mean to "seal" a room after clearing it? Sealing a room means locking in the elevated frequency and protecting it against future attachments. You can do this by intending or drawing Reiki symbols over doors, windows, mirrors, and thresholds, effectively turning your structural boundaries into a divine filter that only permits love, peace, and clarity to reside there. Can you use Reiki to clear an entire commute or neighborhood? Yes. Because Reiki operates beyond physical boundaries, your intention can stretch the energy field across entire geographic lines. You can intend for Reiki to clear your entire commute path from home to work, clear an entire multi-unit apartment building, or anchor healing light into the very land your home rests upon.

You set up your 401(k) contributions years ago. They go out of your paycheck automatically, before you even see the money. You've been doing this for years. And you've been telling yourself you're saving for retirement. You're not saving. You're investing. Automatically, often without much thought, into a market-linked account where the value can drop without you withdrawing a single dollar. https://www.youtube.com/live/ISSLntYMpig That distinction isn't just semantic. It explains why so many high-earning, responsible people feel like they're not making real financial traction even when they're doing everything they were told to do. I've worked with clients across this exact transition for years. And what Bruce Wehner and I talked through on the podcast this week gets to the root of it. Not which products to use. The order. Save automatically. Invest intentionally. Get that order right and everything changes. Key TakeawaysThe Difference Between Saving and Investing (And Why Most People Get It Wrong)What About Inflation?The Language ProblemWhy the Default Financial Playbook Works Against YouThe Automatic Investing TrapThe Syndication Cautionary TaleThe Savings VoidHow the Wealthy Reverse the SequenceThe Personal Economic ModelThe Client Who Saved His Way to RetirementLifestyle Creep: The Silent UnderminerWhy You Save Automatically, and What That Frees You to DoThe Counterintuitive LogicWhat Gets Freed UpWhy Interrupting the Compounding Curve Costs More Than You ThinkWhat Interruption Actually CostsWhat It Means to Invest Intentionally, and How to Know If You AreInvestor DNAReal Due Diligence in the Current EnvironmentSafety, Liquidity, and GrowthThe Savings Vehicle That Bridges Both StagesHow It Works in PracticeThe Death Benefit BackstopWhere Saving and Investing Fit in the Wealth Creator's Cash Flow SystemChange the Order, Change the OutcomeBook A Strategy CallFrequently Asked QuestionsWhat is the difference between saving and investing?Why is automatic 401(k) investing not the same as saving for retirement?How do I start saving automatically?What does intentional investing actually mean?How does whole life insurance fit into saving automatically?Why do wealthy people save before they invest? Key Takeaways Saving and investing are not the same thing. Saving has a dollar-value floor - your $100 stays $100. Investing doesn't - the value can drop without you touching a cent. Most people have been calling one thing the other. The order you do them in determines your financial outcome. The default playbook is: invest automatically first, spend second, save whatever's left. The wealthy do it in reverse: save automatically first, spend from what remains, invest intentionally from the surplus. Automatic 401(k) contributions are investing, not saving - and doing them without due diligence, in a market-linked account you don't control, is a bet most people don't realize they're making. Automating saving is a cognitive strategy, not a cop-out. It removes a high-stakes decision from your mental queue, so your best thinking goes toward evaluating actual investments, where discernment genuinely matters. Interrupting the compounding curve is more costly than it looks. The exponential gains happen late in the cycle. Most people never get there because they restart the clock repeatedly by spending, redirecting, or skipping months. Intentional investing means deploying capital into things you understand, with control, sized to what you actually have, not automatically following historical performance into deals you don't fully understand. The Difference Between Saving and Investing (And Why Most People Get It Wrong) Let's start with a precise definition, because the confusion between these two things is where most of the problem lives. Saving is placing money somewhere it cannot lose dollar value. If you put $100 into a savings vehicle, those $100 will be there when you come back. The amount won't become $60 or $80 because of market conditions. You haven't taken the money out. No one stole it. It's just there, in full, because you put it there. Investing is different. When you invest, you're placing capital somewhere it has the potential to grow, but also to lose value. Not because you withdrew anything. Because the asset itself dropped. You can wake up to an account statement showing your $100 is worth $50, and that's investing. What About Inflation? This is where people push back, and it's a fair point. Inflation erodes the purchasing power of savings over time. That's real. But what often gets missed is that inflation erodes investments too. The same monetary forces that reduce what your saved dollars can buy are working on your invested dollars simultaneously. And an investment loss on top of inflation doesn't solve the inflation problem. It doubles it. Losing hundreds of thousands of dollars in a badly-timed deal isn't an inflation hedge. It's your money going backward at speed. The distinction we're drawing is about the dollar-value floor. Savings has one. Investing doesn't. That's it. The Language Problem The reason this gets so muddled is that the phrase "saving for retirement" has become the universal shorthand for 401(k) contributions, which are, by this definition, investing. Money in market-linked funds can drop. It has dropped. For many people, it's dropped dramatically at exactly the wrong moment. Calling that saving doesn't make it safer. It just makes it harder to think clearly about what you're actually doing. Why the Default Financial Playbook Works Against You Here's how most working Americans handle their money, in order: First, a payroll deduction flows automatically into a 401(k) or similar vehicle before the money arrives in their account. Then spending happens. Then, if anything is left at the end of the month, it might get saved. Maybe. The sequence is: invest first, spend second, save whatever remains. The problem isn't the investing. It's what that order produces in practice. The Automatic Investing Trap That first move, the automatic 401(k) contribution, is made without active due diligence, without specific knowledge of the underlying assets, and without meaningful control over timing or allocation. For most people, the decision is: pick a fund from a list, or accept the target date fund default. That's it. Target date funds are a genuine improvement over doing nothing. They diversify automatically and grow more conservative as you approach retirement. Financial advisors help take emotion out of the process, which matters more than most people realize. These are real improvements. But they don't solve the core problem. You've still lost control of that capital. You face future tax liability. And if you need access to it before retirement, the options are limited, costly, or both. The Syndication Cautionary Tale Bruce has been in over 6,000 client meetings. And one thing he's seen play out repeatedly in recent years is what happens when the "must always be invested" mindset runs into a changing economic environment. A lot of people deployed capital into real estate syndications because the historical performance looked strong and the tax benefits were real. What they didn't fully evaluate was what happens when interest rates rise sharply, and when deals structured around balloon-payment loans need to be refinanced. Rates went up. Sponsors couldn't refinance. Distributions stopped. In many cases, that capital is effectively gone. Not because real estate is a bad investment category. Because people committed capital without evaluating the current monetary environment, and instead relied almost entirely on historical performance as their due diligence. The people who pushed that money in because they felt they couldn't afford to leave it sitting somewhere safe are the ones who lost. Their money didn't just fail to outrun inflation. It evaporated. The Savings Void Because saving is residual in the default sequence, it often doesn't happen at all. By the time spending is done, there's nothing left to put aside. And that's the trap. When a genuinely good investment opportunity appears, there's no capital ready to move on it. The people who can act are the ones who built up savings first - liquid, available, usable cash that's safe and in their control. The others watch the opportunity pass. How the Wealthy Reverse the Sequence The pattern Bruce sees consistently across his wealthiest clients is the opposite of the default. They save automatically first. They determine spending second. They invest intentionally from what remains. The order of priority is reversed, and everything that follows is different because of it. The Personal Economic Model Think of your money as moving through a system. Income arrives. Taxes come out. Then every dollar faces a decision. The first and most important decision isn't to save or invest. It's: how much of this am I going to spend? Spending less than 100% of what you earn is the prerequisite for everything else. It sounds basic, but it's the step most people skip conceptually, even when they think they're doing it.  The Richest Man in Babylon put it plainly: set thy purse to fattening.  A part of all that you earn is yours to keep. Mike Michalowicz made the same argument for businesses in Profit First. If you wait to see what's left after spending, there won't be anything left. There never is. Once you've decided what you're keeping, the next question is the order. Save first, spend from what remains, then invest intentionally from the surplus you've built. The Client Who Saved His Way to Retirement Bruce shared a story that most financial commentators would dismiss as a cautionary tale, but it's actually the opposite. One of his clients kept his 401(k) in a money market account for his entire c

In this reflective and soul-soothing episode, Candace explores the powerful metaphor of “treading water” and how it applies to our everyday lives. Inspired by a story of an endurance swimmer who paused to tread water during a 48-hour swim, she shares how these moments of stillness aren't signs of weakness—but of wisdom. Candace invites listeners to reconsider the constant pressure to move forward, achieve, and push through. Instead, she offers a gentle reminder that pausing, resting, and simply staying afloat can be just as meaningful and necessary. Through personal reflection and grounded insight, she reframes “treading water” as an intentional, life-sustaining practice—one that allows us to breathe, reset, and trust where we are. This episode is a permission slip to slow down, to be present, and to honor the seasons where you're not sprinting toward something—but simply sustaining yourself with grace.
