Can a single decision rewrite the story of your life—and everyone else you're meant to impact?Christy Keeton didn't come from wealth. She came from grit, prayer, and an unshakable belief that life could be different. Her path took her from poverty and a rigid corporate job to becoming a multifamily investor with nearly 1,000 units—and more importantly, a woman using her resources to change lives.In this powerful conversation, Christy shares how she went from flipping houses in debt to funding safe homes for recovering addicts and sponsoring young girls in India to become teachers, doctors, and leaders.

This podcast episode features the fourth panel session of the day at our Artemis ILS NYC 2025 conference, which was held on February 7th in New York City. ILS NYC 2025 was Artemis' eighth catastrophe bond and insurance-linked securities (ILS) conference held in-person in New York and saw more than 425 registered attendees enjoying insightful debates from our expert speakers, as well as valuable networking opportunities throughout the day. Attendees from across the globe assembled to hear thought-provoking insights from insurance-linked securities (ILS) market leaders, all under the theme of "Capturing opportunities (established & new)." Our next audio from the ILS NYC 2025 conference features the fourth panel discussion of the day, which was focused on the emerging casualty insurance-linked securities (ILS) market where investors are accessing the returns of longer-tailed casualty insurance risks. The panel discussion was moderated by John Seo, Co-Founder, Managing Director, Fermat Capital Management. He was joined by: David Ni, Chief Strategy Officer, Enstar Group; Andras Bohm, Head of U.S. Capital Solutions & Advisory, BMS Group; Amy Stern, Chief Executive, Reinsurance, Ledger Investing; and Bob Forness, CEO, MultiStrat Group. While casualty insurance-linked securities (ILS) may seem nascent to some, the market has been in development for a number of years now. The panellists set the scene and explained what this segment of the ILS asset class is, as well as why casualty risks can be attractive investments. This panel discussed the evolution and potential of the casualty insurance-linked securities (ILS) market, forecasting an opportunity to grow the segment from an estimated $3-4 billion current base to potentially exceeding $10 billion by 2026. Key points in the discussion included the shift from catastrophe-focused ILS to casualty ILS, driven by improvements to the infrastructure of the ILS market, as well as investor interest in accessing new classes of insurance risk.  The casualty ILS market's growth is largely attributed to risk sourced through whole account quota shares, which the panel said enable stable, diversified portfolios to be constructed for investors.  The discussion also highlighted the importance of exit solutions to provide investor certainty of liquidity, the need for strong partnerships, and that underwriting discipline is key to manage risks and ensure sustainable growth of the casualty ILS space. Listen to the full podcast episode of this casualty insurance-linked securities (ILS) focused panel discussion at ILS NYC 2025, for unique insights into the developing casualty ILS market, what investors need to know about this asset class, and how cedents can benefit from access to efficient capacity from the capital markets.

Ryan shares his fascinating journey from the airline industry to managing a self-storage empire valued at over $800 million.  The two discuss how speed, adaptability, and vertical integration are the engines behind Spartan's exponential growth, and why partnering with REITs (rather than competing with them) is a game-changing move.  They dig into how current market dynamics—from inflation to sluggish home sales—are reshaping investment strategies, and why a flat market isn't necessarily a bad thing.  Watch For2:24 Why Speed Is the New Currency in Storage3:28 Vertical Integration Meets Strategic Agility8:46 The REIT Pivot: Strategy or Survival?13:56 The Built-In REIT Exit Strategy19:13 How REITs Use Third-Party Management as an Acquisition Funnel21:03 Building REIT-Ready Properties for Premium Exits22:56 Are REIT-Managed Deals Lower Return? 32:51 Where Spartan Is Buying Now: Growth Markets with No Pipeline  Leave a positive rating for this podcast with one click Connect with Guest: Ryan GibsonWebsite | LinkedIn CONNECT WITH USWebsite | You Tube | Facebook | X | LinkedIn | Instagram Follow so you never miss a NEW episode!

Jason talks about the current state of the housing market, emphasizing that there is no housing crash due to the low number of financially distressed homeowners. He shared updated statistics from the US Census Bureau, indicating that 39.8% of homeowners have no mortgage, and 65% have mortgages at or below 4%. Jason also highlighted the oversupply in the high-end market and encouraged potential buyers to reach out to his investment counselors for opportunities. Jason then finishes his talk with Vince of RE social as they discuss the advantages of single-family homes, highlighting their accessibility and historical stability. While scaling can seem challenging with multiple mortgages, blanket loans exist. Institutional investors demonstrate the scalability of single-family rentals. Diversification across 3-5 markets is recommended for single-family homes, offering a balance between wealth creation through concentration and preservation via diversification. Viewing tenants as "subscribers" in a sticky business model and leveraging financing and tax benefits further solidify single-family income property as a top asset class. #RealEstateInvesting #SingleFamilyHomes #IncomeProperty #RentalProperty #RealEstateTips #InvestmentStrategy #WealthBuilding #PassiveIncome #REI #RealEstateMarket #Diversification #SubscriptionBusiness #TaxBenefits #1031Exchange #HousingMarket #RealEstateExpert #InvestmentProperties #FinancialFreedom #RealEstateForBeginners #MultifamilyInvesting   Key Takeaways: Jason's editorial 2:32 Why there is housing crash YET 9:17 Join our FREE MASTERCLASS EVERY 2nd Wednesday of the month JasonHartman.com/Wednesday Jason's interview with Vince Rodriguez of RE Social part 2 10:11 Diversity 12:22 The best subscription model in the world 13:32 Share of income, income property and taxes 17:55 Buy or rent? 20:22 Market dynamics and unemployment insurance 28:53 "Everyone has a right to a home"- and you're renting it out!

My guest today is Cliff Sosin. Cliff is the founder of CAS Investment Partners, a fund he started with $5 million in 2012 and has grown to $1.7 billion as of the last reported numbers at the end of 2024. At the time, CAS had only four positions. This conversation is different to our typical episodes. We start by talking about Cliff's investing philosophy but the bulk of this long discussion is a case study into his remarkable investment in Carvana. Cliff is one of the biggest investors in the business, which had a market cap over $60 billion in 2021, then fell 99%, survived, and now has a market cap approaching $50 billion again. While I hosted Carvana's CEO, Ernie Garcia, last year to get the inside perspective on managing through such turbulence, today we hear the investor's side of this extraordinary story. It is a singular episode and there are so many lessons in this rare opportunity to hear a major investor describe his decision-making process at every stage of the journey. Please enjoy my great conversation with Cliff Sosin.

Chase Taylor of Pine Cone Macro is back to break down the mess that is U.S. trade policy and what it means for markets. We talk about whether Trump's tariffs are pushing us toward recession, why China's fiscal discipline might actually be a strength, and where smart investors should be looking outside the U.S. Chase walks through opportunities in Greece, Brazil, and Chile, and we take a step back to talk about how capital flows and political risk are reshaping global investing. Plus, we nerd out about frontier markets—and yes, a little bit about NBA playoffs too.--Timestamps:(00:00) - Intro(00:32) - NBA Playoffs and Initial Discussion(01:18) - Tariff Vice and Economic Concerns(02:07) - Impact of Tariffs on US Economy(07:34) - Recession Fears and Employment Data(09:58) - Trump's Trade Policies and Market Reactions(17:38) - China's Economic Strategies and Stimulus(28:29) - Investment Opportunities in Europe(30:00) - Investment Opportunities in Europe and Brazil(30:51) - Challenges and Risks in Brazil and Turkey(32:19) - Overseas Investing: Macro Tailwinds and Policy(33:32) - Turnaround Stories in Emerging Markets(34:44) - The Potential of Frontier Markets(38:08) - Geopolitical Insights and North Korea(45:34) - Agricultural Commodities and Market Trends(49:43) - The Dollar's Impact on Trade and Investments(52:03) - NBA Trades and the Cleveland Cavaliers(55:46) - Podcast Conclusion and Contact Information--Referenced: Pine Cone Macro: https://www.pineconemacro.com/--Jacob Shapiro Site: jacobshapiro.comJacob Twitter: x.com/JacobShapSubscribe to the Newsletter: bit.ly/weekly-sitrep--The Jacob Shapiro Show is produced and edited by Audiographies LLC.

Recently, stocks closed out their worst quarter since 2022. The S&P 500 and the Nasdaq logged their worst performance since Russia's invasion of Ukraine. While these headlines can be upsetting, as Peter with Richon Planning explains to Erin Kennedy, the market downturn can also provide some very specific opportunities for smart investors, including: Put Your Cash to Work – Lower valuations let you buy quality investments at a discount for long-term gains. Consider Tax Loss Harvesting – Selling at a loss can offset taxes now or in the future, turning dips into tax savings. Roth Conversions – Converting in a down market means paying less tax now and maximizing future tax-free growth. If you'd like to learn how to take advantage of this market downturn, please feel free to give Peter a call at (919) 300-5886 or visit www.RichonPlanning.com

Mike Rode isn't surprised to see market weakness in 2025's first quarter, even without considering the tariff volatility. He points to high valuations and signs of a slowing consumer ending 2024 as harbingers. However, Mike urges investors to stay on their toes and watch for investment opportunities amid continuing volatility. He believes small and mid-cap companies can rally big as volatility cools. Mike also points to high-dividend stocks as defensive plays.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

In this episode, we discuss the defense industry's evolution with equity analyst Joshua Samuel. He highlights the historical underinvestment in European defense, the recent increase in defense spending, particularly Germany's program, and the strategic importance of land systems. The conversation highlights how the current geopolitical environment has transformed defense from an underperforming sector to an investment opportunity, though valuations for companies like Rheinmetall now reflect much of this potential. Key Takeaways: Historical Underinvestment: European military spending dropped dramatically from 2.75% of GDP during the Cold War to approximately 1.3% over the last decade. This resulted in significant inventory reduction (77% fewer tanks, 57% fewer aircraft) and industry consolidation. Germany's Leadership: Germany's substantial defense spending package has garnered attention, though not all European countries have the same fiscal capacity to increase military budgets at the same rate. Supply Chain Constraints: Decades of underinvestment created production bottlenecks that can't be solved quickly. Companies like Rheinmetall, which maintained investment during lean periods, are well-positioned with superior production technology and cost structures. Investment Perspective: European defense companies offer potentially higher growth opportunities than U.S. counterparts due to the lower baseline of European defense spending and greater headroom for increases. Companies with established platforms typically present lower investment risk than those developing new technologies. Strategic Autonomy: With the U.S. potentially reducing its global security role, European nations are recognizing the need for self-sufficiency in defense capabilities to protect their interests and sovereignty.

Send us a textThis is a FEED DROP of an episode of the Commercial Real Estate Investing From A-Z  Podcast that Scott was a guest on. How is self-storage doing today? What are the benefits of joining a mastermind? Scott Meyers, founder and CEO of Self Storage Investing , shares his knowledge with us.Read this entire interview here: https://tinyurl.com/rt4pvac2You have been doing self-storage for 20 years, how is self-storage doing today?We're bullish on storage. It doesn't matter what the economy's doing, because our asset classes are largely unaffected by what's happening when things are good, people buy more stuff and there's a need for storage so we do well. When there's a contraction in the economy and people are losing their jobs or businesses, it is going a little slower. They have to put their inventory in storage, or they sublease their office or whatever their business looks like and we benefit from that, as well. We are heading into a time that we've been preparing for years, which is kind of the intersection of all that. Interest rates are a little higher and the cost of capital is higher but we are seeing a contraction in the market, which is causing people to downsize businesses.I heard this morning that in Austin, Texas 20% of the workforce is unemployed right now. Some of these companies are laying their people off. But there is a pullback right now, and the jobless rate is a little higher than even what the government statistics would show because we're seeing it and feeling it in the marketplace.Do you think self-storage is being overbuilt in places?You can't say that the industry is overbuilt. If everybody's rates all across the country, were going down and everybody was at 50% occupancy, maybe, but I don't think that we would ever get to that standpoint. There are lots of safeguards in our industry and we do know what it takes to do our homework and understand as developers, what makes this successful self-storage development project. With today's very difficult capital markets: appraisers, lenders, and private equity partners, they are not just throwing money at us, assuming it's going to win, they are forcing and they want to see our feasibility studies and the demand studies that we're doing in the marketplace to understand what a deal looks like before they're going to grant us a loan or loan us our limited partners that are going to come alongside of us or the hedge funds and invest with us. We shouldn't be coming forward if we didn't have that, and we really wouldn't get it anyway.What are some things that you have seen happen at your mastermind?A lot of the things that we've seen are things that we've built in an environment in which all the good things that we see in a mastermind can occur and some of that is true. As we take a step back, we recognize that following the Napoleon Hills model, which is when like-minded people come together and operate at a certain level, good things happen. They share best business practices, they can do business together and so from the beginning, that's the way we designed it. And we see other masterminds out there where they'll just accept anybody into the group, as long as they can write a check. We have an interview process, and it's an exclusive group that we've put into place in the mastermind.Scott Meyerswww.selfstorageinvesting.com
