Axel sits down with Ryan Corcoran of Specialized Property Group for a new segment on the show. Ryan walks through a property he picked up for $1.325 million through an off-market agent relationship, with a simple business plan of renovating vacant units, pushing rents, and refinancing to hold long-term. What unfolded was a masterclass in staying opportunistic: an adjacent lot that the seller dismissed as worthless was taken through the zoning board, permitted for a three-unit development, and sold off for $250,000 — turning an already solid deal into an exceptional one. The episode doesn't just celebrate the wins. Ryan is candid about what went sideways — vacant units that sat for six months, the tension between maximizing rent rolls for a refinance versus filling units quickly, and a costly prepayment penalty that caught the team off guard when they pivoted from a hold to a sale. These are the kinds of real-world friction points that rarely make it into a highlight reel, and they're exactly what makes this episode worth listening to.Join us as we dive into:The adjacent lot play that nobody valued: how Ryan took an "unbuildable" lot through the zoning board, secured multiple variances, and sold it for $250,000 — a return entirely outside the original underwritingWhy three units sat vacant for six months despite a strong location near UMass Medical Center — and the hard lesson about rent-setting strategy when your goal is a refinance versus long-term holdThe sell vs. hold decision: why a $1.6M basis with a $2M exit made more sense than grinding for $20–30K per year in cash flow — and what that says about capital recycling and return on equityThe prepayment penalty trap: how a conventional commercial loan locked the team into a six-figure exit cost they hadn't fully accounted for — and how to negotiate 1-1-1 or step-down structures upfrontWhy having a licensed real estate agent as a partner (or spouse) is one of the biggest structural advantages in a transactional investing business — and how Ryan's team saved six figures in commissions last year aloneThe value creation hiding in oversized lots: why dedicating resources to subdivision and entitlement work on large parcels is one of the highest-leverage moves available to active investors todayConnect with Ryan:Follow him on InstagramConnect with him on LinkedinSubscribe to our YouTube channelLearn more about Specialized Property GroupAre you looking to invest in real estate, but don't want to deal with the hassle of finding great deals, signing on debt, and managing tenants?

In this episode of FYI, Brett Winton and Charles Roberts sit down with Michael Stewart of M12, Microsoft's venture fund, to examine how AI is reshaping software, infrastructure, and investment strategy. Michael explains how M12 identifies emerging signals across the AI ecosystem, from generative AI adoption to enterprise spending shifts. The conversation covers the evolution from SaaS (software as a service) to AI-driven models, pricing dynamics, and the growing importance of compute efficiency. They also discuss future opportunities in consumer AI, material science, and the need to rethink the data center as demand for AI accelerates.Key Points From This Episode: 00:00:00 Introduction to M12 and its role within Microsoft00:04:41 The current AI landscape and platform shift thesis00:09:47 The gap between technical capability and user adoption00:14:33 Compute constraints and the need for model efficiency00:20:55 The concept of “wholesale AI” and token-based enterprise models00:28:00 Uneven AI usage across users and organizations00:31:47 Capturing value: productivity gains vs. software pricing00:35:34 Investment themes: consumer AI and smart TV experiences00:38:58 AI in science and material discovery opportunities00:44:35 Introduction to the data center of the future00:51:35 Capital markets, AI demand, and infrastructure investment gaps00:55:53 Why current AI investment narratives may be backward-lookingEditing and post-production work for this episode was provided by The Podcast Consultant (https://thepodcastconsultant.com)

In this episode, Axel sits down once again with Ryan Corcoran of Specialized Property Group — a New England investor doing 60 to 80 deals per year across Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and New Hampshire through a relentless focus on direct-to-seller marketing. Ryan started out building a multifamily portfolio the traditional way, but pivoted to a high-volume transactional model when rates rose in 2022 — and hasn't looked back since.The conversation is one of the most tactical deep dives into off-market deal sourcing the podcast has ever featured. Ryan breaks down exactly how he builds motivated seller lists from public court records, why handwritten white letters outperform polished postcards, and how his team uses a CRM to automate follow-up for years at a time. This is a must-listen for any investor who wants to go direct to seller, build a sustainable deal-finding machine, and understand what it actually takes to operate at volume in today's market.Join us as we dive into:The evolution of SPG from a buy-and-hold multifamily portfolio to a 60–80 deal per year transactional operationThe three pillars of real estate investing — acquisitions, financing, and operations; and why finding the deal is the engine that drives everything elseWhy triggering-event lists (evictions, probate, divorce) require fewer touches than generic absentee owner lists — and how to find sellers who are already ready to moveThe anatomy of a winning direct mail piece: white letters, handwritten envelopes, first-name personalization, and a local, approachable toneHow to think about the Massachusetts market: why central Mass and New Hampshire behave similarly, while Greater Boston is a completely different ball gameRyan's honest take on multifamily in the current rate environment and why he's not advocating buy-and-hold at today's prices unless the deal is exceptionalWhy flipping and wholesaling at current rates may generate more wealth faster than traditional BRRRR strategiesPrevious Episodes:Ep239 - Direct-to-seller marketing for multifamily deals..Ep159 - Using direct mail to buy hundreds of units..Connect with Ryan:Follow him on InstagramConnect with him on LinkedinSubscribe to our YouTube channelLearn more about Specialized Property GroupAre you looking to invest in real estate, but don't want to deal with the hassle of finding great deals, signing on debt, and managing tenants?

Have you ever bought a stock, ETF, or fund because you heard about it on a podcast, saw it in a newsletter, or watched someone talk about it online? You're not alone—and you're not wrong for wanting to learn more about investing. But there's a hidden risk that most people don't realize: the problem usually isn't the investment itself. It's making financial decisions without a strategy built for your life. In this episode, Shari Rash, founder of GWA Wealth, breaks down the real danger of taking investment advice from podcasts, articles, social media, and talking heads. You'll hear why different fund names don't automatically mean diversification, how you might be buying the same investment over and over again without realizing it, and why performance chasing is one of the most expensive mistakes investors make. Shari also explains how financial media is designed to share information—not personalized advice—and why context matters more than any single investment recommendation. This episode will help you shift from reacting to headlines to building a clear, intentional strategy that supports your long-term goals. You'll learn how to spot duplication in your portfolio, how to evaluate investment ideas before acting on them, and why having a plan makes market ups and downs feel less stressful and more manageable. If you've ever felt overwhelmed by investment advice or unsure whether your portfolio actually makes sense, this episode will give you the clarity and confidence to move forward.

Episode 141: This week, Kyle Van Pelt talks with Erik Brenner, CEO, President, and Founding Partner at Hilltop Wealth and Tax Solutions. With more than 30 years of experience, Erik has assisted thousands of individuals in integrating retirement, tax, and estate strategies. At Hilltop, he blends leadership and client advisory responsibilities, shaping the firm's future vision and strategies while providing personalized financial guidance to select clients. Erik talks with Kyle about what happens when advisory firms stop treating tax and wealth management as separate conversations and start thinking holistically. He discusses the strategic decisions that helped transform Hilltop, including integrating in-house tax services, rethinking the client experience, and doubling down on education-driven growth. Erik also shares how to run great seminars and use technology to keep up with business complexities. In this episode: (00:00) - Intro (01:06) - Erik's money moment (03:30) - Hilltop's one-stop model: Integration of tax and wealth management (07:13) - How Hilltop manages large wealth with tax problems (09:35) - How the SECURE 2.0 Act impacts generational wealth (16:37) - Using seminars as a modern growth engine (20:28) - What makes a 5-star seminar experience (23:39) - Managing tech across multiple business lines (25:29) - Navigating the transition from being an advisor to a CEO (27:33) - Erik's outlook on the future of the financial industry (29:03) - Erik's Milemarker Minute Key Takeaways Don't outsource critical expertise that directly affects client outcomes. If a core part of your value—like tax strategy—is outside your control, alignment becomes difficult. Integrate tax and wealth management to deliver truly holistic advice. When strategy and execution live under one roof, decisions become more coordinated, proactive, and impactful for clients. For many retirees, taxes are their biggest expense. Plan accordingly. Investment returns matter, but unmanaged tax exposure can quietly erode wealth faster than most clients realize. Education builds trust faster than selling ever will. Whether it's seminars or client meetings, people lean in when they feel informed, not when they feel pitched. Teach first, and the business follows. Quotes "For most of our clients who are into retirement, taxes are their number one expense." ~ Erik Brenner "If you don't know the right questions to ask about how laws are changing, even the most powerful AI won't be able to help you." ~ Erik Brenner "Marketing is about getting the ball rolling. You want to get that ball rolling, but you do not want the snowball to melt." ~ Eric Brenner Links  Erik Brenner on LinkedIn Hilltop Wealth and Tax Solutions Holistiplan The Personal CFO Revolution Connect with our hosts Milemarker.co Kyle on LinkedIn Jud on LinkedIn Subscribe and stay in touch Apple Podcasts Spotify YouTube Produce game-changing content with Turncast Turncast helps your company grow by producing top-quality content and fostering transformative conversations.

Tamny critiques the federal government's "command economy" response, specifically the trillions of dollars in stimulus and the Payroll Protection Program. He argues that consumption does not drive growth — investment does — and that by "hoovering up" capital from those most capable of investing and redistributing it to consumers, the government delayed natural economic recovery. The PPP propped up "the past" and prevented the necessary "creative destruction" that allows a dynamic economy to evolve. Tamny ultimately advocates for freedom as the only sustainable answer to future crises, noting that private enterprise — not government mandates — produced the vaccines in record time.

Our Global Head of Thematic and Sustainability Research Stephen Byrd unpacks how major investment themes for 2026 are increasingly interconnected, generating gains for investors.Read more insights from Morgan Stanley.----- Transcript -----Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Stephen Byrd, Morgan Stanley's Global Head of Thematic and Sustainability Research. Today – how our 10 big thematic predictions are playing out and driving global markets. It's Monday, April 20th at 11:30am in New York. Back in January, we laid out four key themes – AI & Tech Diffusion, the Future of Energy, a Multipolar World, and Societal Shifts. And we laid out 10 specific thematic predictions about forces shaping 2026. It is really striking to me how quickly the landscape has shifted and how significant these trends have become in just a short period of time. Even more striking is how these mega secular themes are converging. AI is driving unprecedented demand for compute and energy. Energy is becoming a strategic priority for nations. And geopolitics is shaping access to both. So, let's start with the most important development: the acceleration of AI. Now we expected strong progress in terms of large language model development, but what we're seeing is really a step-change upward in capability. And this is driving an extraordinary surge in demand for compute. Global AI usage has jumped sharply with weekly usage; and we measure weekly usage in terms of how many tokens are used. Tokens are really a measure of small units of text. It's a fairly standard measure of demand for compute. That token usage has risen by about 250 percent just since early January, from 6.4 trillion tokens a week to 22.7 trillion; pushing us into a world where compute demand exceeds supply. This is one of the defining investment stories of 2026, and I see a lot of alpha generation, around this opportunity. Now, at the same time, AI is reshaping the labor market. We estimate that automation or augmentation will impact 90 percent of occupations; so almost every job will be affected. But the effect is not binary. So we recently assessed the impacts to employment in five sectors where we believe the impact of AI adoption could be the biggest. And on net we see a 4 percent job loss, driven by 11 percent of outright elimination of jobs. 12 percent of jobs that were not backfilled, partially offset by 18 percent of new hires. So the real story is transformation. AI is changing how work gets done, reshaping roles rather than simply replacing them. But AI does not operate in a vacuum. It runs on energy. And that's the second major shift since January. We now estimate global data center power demand could increase by nearly 130 gigawatts by 2028, with the U.S. potentially facing a 10–20 percent shortfall in power availability needed to support that growth. That's why the Future of Energy is such a central theme. AI growth is directly tied to energy availability, cost, and infrastructure, and increasingly, to national policy. And that brings us to the third major development: geopolitics. We certainly did not anticipate the Iran conflict, but it has had a significant impact on energy markets, including supply disruptions that have rippled across global energy systems. And more broadly, we're seeing a global push towards national self-sufficiency; this is a big driver for many years to come – in energy, critical minerals, and technology. And this clearly aligns with our Multipolar World theme, where countries are prioritizing control over key economic inputs. This shift is likely to be a major driver of markets not just this year, but well beyond. These big structural forces are already showing up in performance. The thematic categories that we developed that are aligned with our key themes were up 38 percent on average in 2025, outperforming the S&P 500 by 27 percentage points. And year-to-date in 2026, they're still ahead by 12 points. The strongest areas reflect exactly these dynamics: AI infrastructure, energy security, defense, healthcare, and emerging areas like humanoid robotics. So what's the takeaway from revisiting our predictions? The biggest changes in 2026 are not happening in isolation, but at the intersections of our key themes. AI, energy, and geopolitics are no longer separate stories. They are now deeply interconnected forces shaping the global economy. And understanding those intersections may be the key to understanding markets and generating alpha for years to come.Thanks for listening.

For years, some of the most consequential companies in technology have stayed private far longer than historical norms — growing to public-company scale without ever listing a share. Now, a significant pipeline of mega-cap private companies appears headed toward public markets, potentially reshaping the equity landscape when they arrive. The sheer scale of what may be coming is unprecedented: some of these individual offerings could dwarf the largest IPOs in history.   On this episode of Disruptive Forces, host Anu Rajakumar is joined by Renos Savvides, Head of Equity Capital Markets at Neuberger, and Paul Daggett, Managing Director on the Private Investment Portfolios and Co-Investments team, to discuss what's driving the private-to-public shift — and what it means across the investment ecosystem.   Together, they explore how private markets evolved to support companies at a scale that once required public listing, what the 2026 ECM environment actually looks like beneath the headline volatility, why some of the largest IPOs ever contemplated may need to tap non-traditional sources of demand including global retail and passive index flows, how AI is both fueling and complicating the IPO pipeline, what the sequencing of these deals could mean for VC exits and LP capital flows, and where the real access points sit for investors across public and private markets.     This communication is provided for informational and educational purposes only and nothing herein constitutes investment, legal, accounting or tax advice, or a recommendation to buy, sell or hold a security.

During his time as the UK's Special Representative for Trade and Investment, records tied to Prince Andrew's official trips, contacts, and activities were placed under long-term restriction, with key Foreign Office documents not scheduled for release until 2065—effectively sealing them for decades. Prince Andrew held the role from 2001 to 2011, a position that gave him access to sensitive government briefings, high-level business negotiations, and diplomatic communications. The decision to lock away those records has been tied to standard confidentiality rules around state business, but the sheer length of the embargo—spanning more than half a century—has raised serious questions about whether the intent is protection of national interests or insulation of a controversial figure from scrutiny.That decision has triggered significant blowback, especially as new revelations about his conduct as trade envoy have emerged, including allegations that he shared sensitive information with Jeffrey Epstein and blurred the lines between public duty and private relationships. Lawmakers and critics have argued that keeping those records sealed while investigations unfold only deepens suspicion and fuels the perception of institutional protection. Calls to release the documents have intensified, with political pressure mounting to end long-standing conventions that shield royals from accountability, as the secrecy surrounding Andrew's envoy years is now seen as a central obstacle to understanding the full scope of his actions and any potential misconduct.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Once you hear this, you'll never walk down a supermarket aisle the same way again.  A sensory scientist walks into a supermarket… and suddenly nothing you buy is accidental.  In this episode, Charles Spence breaks down how evolution, psychology, and a bit of brand mischief shape everything from what we crave to what we click “add to basket” on. From the savannah to the supermarket, your brain is still wired to hunt for energy-dense food — and brands are quietly exploiting that wiring with color, sound, texture, and even the weight of your cutlery.Expect mind-bending insights: why red means sweet (and blue used to mean danger), how a pink box can kill a product, why your brain processes food in a split second, and how something as simple as music can literally change how things taste. There's even a deep dive into “sonic seasoning,” where soundtracks can make food sweeter, saltier, or more intense.We get into the hidden levers of great branding — from Apérol's unmistakable orange glow to Coca-Cola's packaging illusions — and why the best brands aren't just tasted, they're felt. Plus: the science behind nostalgia, why Christmas songs hit like emotional freight trains, and how restaurants can learn from cinema to create unforgettable experiences.This is a masterclass in how humans actually perceive the world — and how the smartest brands design for it. ============================================== ♨️Still bloody HUNGRY?

This week, Dave Spano and Dr. Brian Jacobsen break down the political crosscurrents driving market anxiety, from the abrupt pause of Kevin Warsh's nomination hearing and a stunning regime change in Hungary to stalled U.S.–Iran talks and the ongoing issues with the Strait of Hormuz. They connect the dots to an economy showing strain: softer housing data, rattled small businesses, cautious hiring, rising input costs, and a Beige Book dominated by uncertainty. The picture isn't quite recessionary, but it's far from healthy. Plus, former Navy SEAL John Choate joins the show to share firsthand perspectives from overseas and how geopolitics looks when you've seen it up close.

What if the future of real estate, health, and human connection isn't about building more… but about restoring what we've already broken? Help restore 15,000 lost trees and protect a critical ecosystem: https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=5ARPGDXUKUK4C Every dollar goes directly to rebuilding this living forest and bringing the land back to life. In this powerful conversation, Darin sits down with Caroline Howell, CEO of Canopy Development Company, to explore a radically different vision for how we live, build, and relate to the natural world. From a high-performance career in investment banking to a full nervous system collapse, Caroline shares the deeply personal journey that led her to Panama, and ultimately to regenerating one of the most endangered ecosystems on Earth. This episode is a deep exploration of regenerative development, land stewardship, decentralization, and human sovereignty, and why the future may depend on our ability to rebuild both ecosystems and communities from the ground up.

In this debut episode of the podcast's new deal breakdown segment, Axel sits down with Sean LeBlanc of Mammoth Properties to dissect one of the most compelling deals they've done together — a 23-unit, three-property portfolio in New Hampshire that returned nearly all investor capital within 14 months, while still leaving two cash-flowing buildings on the books with solid long-term debt.Sean walks through the full lifecycle of the deal: how it was sourced off-market through a residential agent, how the joint venture was structured, the rough value-add conditions they inherited, what went better than expected (rents in Manchester), what went worse (the Farmington property), and how the decision to sell one building early unlocked a home run outcome for all investors involved.This episode is a masterclass in deal flexibility, portfolio loan structuring, and why scattered-site portfolios remain one of the last great opportunities to buy at a real discount in today's market.Join us as we dive into:How a 23-unit, three-property portfolio in New Hampshire was sourced entirely off-market through a residential agent relationshipHow Axel and Sean structured a simple joint venture to take down a deal that was at the ceiling of Sean's deal size at the timeThe value-add playbook: tackle vacant units first, assess inherited tenants for reliability, renovate quickly, and phase in rent increasesHow the Manchester properties outperformed projected rents — underwriting 3-beds at $1,800, achieving $2,100 on fully renovated downtown unitsThe decision to sell the Farmington property after one year: sale price of $1,210,000, net proceeds of $505,337 — nearly recovering the full $555,000 of invested equityHow a subsequent refinance of the remaining two Manchester buildings generated an additional $242,000 in proceeds, bringing total cash returned to $748,000 on $555,000 investedWhy partial release language in a portfolio loan is the single most important thing to negotiate before you closeWhy scattered-site portfolios remain one of the best places to find below-market deals — and why the big institutional buyers largely ignore themConnect with Sean LeBlanc:Follow him on InstagramLearn more about Mammoth PropertiesAre you looking to invest in real estate, but don't want to deal with the hassle of finding great deals, signing on debt, and managing tenants?

Episode overview In this episode of Investments Unplugged, hosts Kevin Headland and Macan Nia continue their timely dialogue around the geopolitical turmoil impacting today's markets. Now entering its 40th day (at the time of this recording), the ongoing conflict in the Middle East still commands center stage, so Kevin and Macan discuss how it's feeding through to energy prices, market volatility, and investor behavior. They examine why markets opened 2026 “priced for perfection” (leaving little margin for error), how the current oil price shock compares with 2022's macro environment (with important differences in inflation and interest-rate starting points), and why recent equity valuation compression—particularly in the technology sector—may be creating select opportunities for investors.     Key topics & insights 1. Oil: the conflict's key transmission channel “Higher-for-longer” oil price risk: Even if the Middle East conflict resolves, Kevin and Macan suggest that oil prices may remain structurally higher than pre-conflict levels due to supply impairment and perhaps an ongoing geopolitical risk premium. Tracking evolving dynamics: These could include higher shipping insurance rates and even increased transit/toll-like costs tied to safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz—factors that can embed into oil prices beyond an immediate shock. Macroeconomic watchpoints: One of the critical questions still facing economists and investors alike is how higher energy prices might affect global growth rates, the likelihood of a slowdown or recession, and broader inflation levels. 2. Market volatility regime shift (not capitulation) More choppiness in less time: Since the Middle East conflict began, Kevin and Macan have observed a sharp rise in large daily moves by the S&P 500 Index (+/- 1% days), underscoring the reality of a more “headline-driven” market environment. Putting the “fear gauge” in context: While they note the VIX moving up (near ~30 at points), they emphasize that a VIX >30 is historically infrequent and that >40 has typically signaled peak fear levels, seen only in major crisis-type episodes. Markets reacting to ceasefire signals: They describe a “buy-the-dip” tendency where markets rally quickly on any perceived positive news, potentially reflecting underlying market resilience (but also risk if the conflict escalates from here). 3. 2022 comparisons: what's similar vs. what's different The main similarity: Today's geopolitical tensions have pushed oil prices higher, combined with below-trend economic growth and still-sticky overall inflation. A key difference: The starting point for interest rates and bond yields is different now than in early 2022, which affects both bond math and the policy backdrop. Inflation framing (“three Cs”): Today's inflation setup isn't a direct replay of recent history, which was marked by multiple years of persistently elevated inflation. 4. Valuations: technology reset, select opportunities Technology premium compressed: Kevin and Macan highlight that the NASDAQ Composite Index's forward price/earnings (P/E) premium vs. the S&P 500 Index has narrowed considerably, reflecting a meaningful valuation reset in recent months. “Better earnings for a cheaper price”: The market's price (“P”) has come down, while earnings expectations (“E”) have been more resilient, implying that there may now be improved value and select opportunities in some areas of the market. Not all tech is created equal: It's important to break the broad technology sector down into its subsectors (semis, hardware, software/services) in an effort to identify potential winners, rather than just buying tech stocks indiscriminately.   Actionable takeaways for Canadian investors Treat volatility as part of the process, not a trigger to abandon it: With markets potentially “priced for perfection,” geopolitical and other surprises can spur outsized moves, so portfolios should be diversified and built to withstand volatility. Focus on the path of oil prices (level + duration): The big risk with regard to oil prices is not necessarily a short-term (e.g., one-week) spike, but rather a more sustained rise that filters into broader inflation expectations and economic growth. If sitting on cash, consider staged reentry into the market: Market uncertainty and volatility can potentially be harnessed to an investor's advantage, as they may spawn attractive opportunities to redeploy some idle cash back into the market. Reassess fixed income with today's yield cushion in mind: A bond's total return consists of both price appreciation and yield.Starting yields are higher today than in 2022, and price volatility may be offset over time by the income (yield) component. Selectively look for valuation-driven opportunities (especially in tech): Broad market sell-offs can sometimes leave no stocks unpunished, potentially offering opportunities to selectively buy high-quality companies at cheaper valuations.   Links & Resources Listen to the episode:Investments Unplugged Podcast Learn more about Manulife Investments:Manulife IM Canada Share & Subscribe If you enjoyed this episode, please share it with your network and subscribe for future insights on markets, investing, and portfolio strategy.   For informational purposes only.

According to the FBI, Americans lost nearly $21 billion to cyber-enabled fraud last year—a 26% increase from the year before. And the single largest category? Investment-related fraud, with more than $8.6 billion in losses. But what's most unsettling isn't the scale... it's how simple some of these scams really are. A retired couple recently lost thousands of dollars from their IRA after a scammer tricked them into sharing a single six-digit verification code over the phone. No hacking. No stolen password. Just one text message and one phone call. In this episode, I'm breaking down how "account takeover" scams work, why they're so effective, and the specific steps you can take to close the security gap. Here's what you'll learn: → The 3-step pattern behind most account takeover scams  → Why your personal information may already be compromised (and what that means for your account security) → What to do—and what not to do—when a financial institution contacts you about suspicious activity → 3 simple upgrades to better protect your accounts that most people overlook In a world where scammers only need a few seconds to strike, your ability to slow down and take back control of the moment may be the most valuable layer of protection you have. ***

In this episode, Axel records the first-ever live, in-studio episode of the Multifamily Wealth Podcast alongside good friend and fellow Southern New Hampshire investor Sean LeBlanc of Mammoth Properties. Sean runs a vertically integrated operation managing 262 units and roughly $60M in assets — and brings a uniquely hands-on, operator-first perspective to every aspect of buying and running multifamily real estate.The conversation covers Sean's journey from mortgage broker to full-time operator, the philosophical and practical differences between operator-first investors and spreadsheet-first investors, and how building a world-class in-house management team creates a genuine competitive edge when pursuing deals. Sean and Axel also get into the tactical mechanics of executing a value-add business plan — from what happens on day one post-close to how to sequence exterior improvements, rent increases, and tenant communication to maximize results.This episode is essential listening for operators who want to understand how in-house management creates acquisition advantages, and for investors at any stage who want a real, unfiltered look at what building a sustainable multifamily business actually requires.Join us as we dive into:How Sean built Mammoth Properties by selling his best-performing asset, parking $250K into an operating account, and hiring top-down from day oneThe "grow or die" phase every serious operator goes through early on — and why some risk-taking early in your career is necessaryThe operator-first vs. spreadsheet-first investor divide — and why Sean views every acquisition through a management lensWhy hiring a high-level COO (Troy) before hiring anyone else unlocked the foundation for long-term portfolio growthHow vertical integration — owning cleaning contracts, maintenance, and renovations under Mammoth — creates certainty in underwriting that third-party operators simply can't matchThe sequencing strategy for value-add takeovers: big exterior improvements first, phased rent increases over the first six months, and targeting bad-apple tenants earlyWhy common area renovations early in a heavy value-add can backfire — and what to focus on insteadThe role of goodwill and reputation in long-term vacancy performance — and why spending money that doesn't pencil on paper often pays off in the P&LCurrent challenges: market paranoia, the political climate around rent control, and the difficulty of making clean acquisition decisions as a more established operatorWhy New Hampshire remains one of the most compelling multifamily markets in New England — and what the Massachusetts rent control vote in November could signalConnect with Sean LeBlanc:Follow him on InstagramLearn more about Mammoth PropertiesConnect with Axel:Follow him on InstagramConnect with him on LinkedinSubscribe to our YouTube channelLearn more about Aligned Real Estate Partners

Link to Deal: https://passivepockets.com/directory/deals/aspen-industrial-growth-fund/ This Episode Aspen Funds' Ben Fraser and Ellis Hammond return to PassivePockets for an exclusive LP Deal Review on their Industrial Growth Fund—an industrial land + development strategy concentrated in Kansas City's “Golden Triangle” submarket. Chris, along with LP panelists Pascal Wagner and Christy Burakovsky, breaks down the thesis behind the fund: why Kansas City is positioned as a major industrial “supernode,” how onshoring and supply chain reshoring supports long-term demand, and why Aspen is focusing on smaller-bay industrial where vacancy has remained structurally tight. The discussion digs into how value is created before a building ever goes vertical, buying raw land, pushing it through entitlements, securing meaningful tax abatements, and turning it into shovel-ready inventory in a supply-constrained corridor. From there, Aspen has multiple paths to realize gains: sell parcels to owner-users and developers at a premium, develop spec/build-to-suit projects themselves, and/or structure JV partnerships where the fund contributes land into projects. The LP panel also pushes hard on the questions that matter to passive investors: how timelines and exits actually work in a multi-asset land fund, what “lumpy” distributions look like vs steady yield, how the cumulative preferred return accrues, and what happens if market conditions delay sales. Finally, Aspen outlines special PassivePockets terms, lower minimums and improved economics if the community hits a group investment threshold. Key Takeaways Why Aspen is concentrating in Kansas City's “Golden Triangle” and what makes the submarket supply-constrained How industrial tailwinds (onshoring/reshoring + logistics corridors) support long-term demand in KC The value creation stack: raw land → entitlements/tax abatements → shovel-ready uplift → land sales and/or vertical development Fund cash flow realities: event-driven distributions (land sales/refis/sales), not consistent monthly income PassivePockets community terms: lower minimum and improved pref/split if the group minimum is reached, plus a cumulative preferred return structure Disclaimer The content of this podcast is for informational purposes only.

Ferrari is the pinnacle of luxury scarcity — across its entire 79-year history, the company has sold just 330,000 cars at an average price today of $500,000. For context, Hermès sells that many Birkins and Kellys roughly every 2 years, and Rolex moves that many watches every 3 months. And yet this ultimate luxury product also lives under the same roof with a widely beloved professional sports team… one with 400 million rabid fans from all walks of life who live and die by the Scuderia's performance every F1 race weekend! How is it possible that these two seemingly contradictory customer bases can coexist within the same company? And far from destroying each other's value, only reinforce it? The answer, it turns out, is a beautiful, bloody, tragic and romantic opera that spans two families and three generations — and just might be one of the best tales we've ever told on Acquired.

2. Post-Tiananmen, China embraced “red capitalism,” where “princelings”—children of political leaders—controlled investment nodes and equity.
