"I hate when people say that my life should be a movie. Can we just ban that phrase?" - Jeremy Read the transcript here: https://app.swellai.com/t/tp_01HV5M7AN2D7GP4H2P1NBVSNMQ   Episode Summary: In this episode of Unraveling Adoption, host Beth Syverson delves into the complexities of adoption alongside her guest, Jeremy, a 24-year-old adopted person from Texas. Jeremy shares his journey of struggling with various health issues and neurodivergence, only to discover the genetic roots of his challenges after reuniting with his birth family in 2022. Jeremy's adoption story unfolds as he recounts being adopted in Albuquerque, New Mexico, from a birth family in Denver. Raised in Texas by adoptive parents who were open about his adoption but painted a negative picture of his birth mother, Jeremy grew up questioning his identity and health issues without a clear genetic history. As Jeremy navigates his health challenges, including asthma, joint pain, and dysautonomia, he sheds light on the importance of knowing one's genetic background for proper diagnosis and treatment. With a recent diagnosis of hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS), Jeremy emphasizes the need for healthcare professionals to recognize and address invisible disabilities like EDS. Through his journey of self-discovery and reunion with his birth family, Jeremy finds validation and understanding in shared experiences with relatives who also have EDS. He highlights the significance of acceptance and support from adoptive families, healthcare providers, and the community in addressing the unique needs of adoptees with complex medical histories. Listeners are encouraged to reflect on the impact of closed adoptions, ableism, and stigma surrounding birth parents, as Beth and Jeremy advocate for a more inclusive and informed approach to adoption and healthcare. The episode concludes with a call to action for spreading awareness and support for adoptees facing health challenges and seeking reunion. To connect with Jeremy and explore more adoption-related content, visit his Instagram account, Borderline Adoptee. Additionally, listeners are invited to engage with Unraveling Adoption through their website and Patreon community to support ongoing discussions and resources for adoptive families and individuals impacted by adoption.

In the spring of 2020, Oregon REALTORS voted to have statewide forms administered by the state association as a member benefit—not for profit. To that end, the association made an offer to purchase the other two owners' interests in OREF. But that offer was rejected. Consequently, Oregon REALTORS developed its own forms library, which went live on Wednesday, February 22, 2023. Jeff Wiren, President of Premier Property Group, was President of Oregon REALTORS when the new forms were announced, and Jeremy Rogers serves as the Director of Legal Affairs for Oregon REALTORS. On this episode of The Portland Real Estate Podcast, Jeff and Jeremy join hosts Joe Fustolo and Steve Nassar to discuss the battle between OREF and Oregon REALTOR forms. Jeremy walks us through the simple steps agents can take to avoid legal liability based on choice of form, and Jeff shares some of the key differences between the OREF and Oregon REALTOR forms libraries. Listen in for insight on making Oregon REALTOR forms available to non-members and learn how to access the new forms library and where to send your feedback.  Key Takeaways  When Oregon REALTORS decided to include statewide forms as a member benefit Why Oregon REALTORS created separate forms vs. working with OREF to perfect the existing library PMAR's decision to retain ownership of OREF as a for-profit company 5 simple steps agents can take to avoid legal liability based on choice of form The panel's predictions on who will win the battle between OREF and Oregon REALTOR forms The likelihood that Oregon will go back to a single set of approved forms The expense associated with developing the Oregon REALTOR forms library (and the association's efforts to do so without raising dues) Jeff and Jeremy's insight on the advantages of using Oregon REALTOR forms The policy on making Oregon REALTOR forms available to non-members Joe's suggestion around using specific vs. calendar dates on Oregon REALTOR forms The potential to run Oregon REALTOR disclosure forms through SkySlope's Breeze platform Why Jeff encourages cooperation among REALTORS when it comes to form preference How both OREF and Oregon REALTORS form libraries create equity between buyers and sellers Who to reach out to at OREF or Oregon REALTORS with complaints or compliments How to access the new Oregon REALTORS forms library and its associated trainings Connect with Jeff Jeff at Premiere Property Group Jeff on LinkedIn  Connect with Jeremy Jeremy at Oregon REALTORS Jeremy on LinkedIn  Connect with Joe Soldera Properties Joe on LinkedIn Connect with Steve Steve's Team at Premiere Property Group Steve on LinkedIn Resources Masters in Real Estate Facebook Group Oregon REALTORS Oregon REALTOR Forms Library PMAR OREF ZipForms Dotloop SkySlope Breeze

After Hurricane Ian, Florida real estate took a huge hit. With multiple communities literally underwater and the entirety of Southwest Florida facing pricey home repairs, Florida went from being the Sunshine State to the “do we have enough insurance?” state overnight. And with more and more natural disasters taking shape across the US, how can homeowners, landlords, and renters prepare for what mother nature is throwing at us?Thanks to both heavy state and federal funding, Florida is well on its way to a successful recovery, but how did this happen? To learn more about the ins and outs of disaster recovery, we brought on Jeremy Edwards, Press Secretary at FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency), to share what the federal government is doing to aid in building back communities. Jeremy touches on storm tracking, pre-disaster preparedness, flood insurance coverage, and temporary housing programs landlords can use to help affected areas.We also take a detour to talk about the rising insurance costs in disaster-prone areas like the Gulf Coast and the flood mitigation assistance grants that FEMA has set up for local governments to lower their chances of a devastating event. Jeremy also talks about what private homeowners can do if they don't have enough insurance coverage, and how they can build back better so their own homes are protected when disaster strikes.Read More About Substantial Damage Determinations Here.

In today's episode, I interview podcast marketer and Star Wars fan Jeremy Enns, whose email newsletter, Creative Wayfinding, is one of the few I read religiously every week. We go in-depth into the particular format he landed on, an Easter Egg hidden in there, why he'd do it for no money at all, and what a newbie email marketer can do when they're just launching out. Some quotes from the interview: "I always welcome new subscribers to the newsletter every week. People want to be..they want to follow something that is popular." "One of the things I remember hearing around audience growth and engagement is…reward the behavior you want more of, essentially." "We don't have to have such high bars for ideas, they don't have to be some fully formed thing."  "Even when you don't have an idea, or your idea is, I don't have anything to write about, you sit down to write and suddenly something interesting can come from it. " “You *think* you don't have anything to write about, you start writing anyway and you'll land on something that comes out and you're like, oh, that's kind of an interesting thought. Your brain realizes sooner or later, oh, we're doing this, I better come up with ideas." “It's way easier to stand out by being different than being better.” "When you have something that is actually unique and original, the language doesn't necessarily exist to describe it well." More about Jeremy: Jeremy Enns is the founder of Podcast Marketing Academy, the only growth-focused podcast education platform for experienced creators, brands, and marketers looking to build long-term, sustainable audience growth systems. He loves any sport that involves a frisbee, used to co-host an explicit-rated ice cream podcast, once bicycled across Europe, and will always look back on the day he finally saved up enough money to buy the Millennium Falcon Lego set as one of his proudest achievements.

Beginning his entrepreneurial journey at age 19, Jeremy used his free time to interview hundreds of successful people across the country, learning from their expertise and acting on their advice.  As Jeremy's business development and sales expertise grew, he decided to write his first book in order to establish authority, generate leads, and increase his credibility.  The result?  His business exploded and Jeremy knew he had found his calling - empowering leaders to share their stories. Introducing Jeremy Brown What problem do you solve? I help people go from an idea in their head to a book in their hand. What three questions are you going to answer for us today? How important is your top goal? Your life is telling a story. What's that story telling? What questions are still in your mind from 2021 that you need to eliminate? Show Notes: How important is this to you? It's okay if it's not important. You need to identify that. It's not what can I do but what do I want to do. Your priorities may shift for a year, a season, or even a day. How we tell a story determines how we approach it and attempt to solve it. Stories often start with a loss or a leap. You want to know your story because it can help you connect with others. If we leave questions floating around in our mind and don't answer them, they can cause confusion and a lack of clarity. A lot of people struggle with their purpose. Decide: Am I going to answer this right now? Am I going to come to a conclusion soon? Or will I put it aside and answer it later? What's underneath this that's not letting me coming to a conclusion? Faith is a substance. It's a real, actual thing. If you listen to people well, they will tell you their story and discover their reason themselves. Jeremy Brown's Recharge Round What habit do you think has led to success in your life? Jeremy's habit is having a written habit that he keeps in his pocket. If you had one do-over, what would it be? He would put himself around the right people sooner. Getting yourself around the right people will make a big difference in your life.

Major Jeff Struecker is a retired U.S. Army Ranger who fought at the Battle of Mogadishu which was made famous in the movie, "Black Hawk Down". Due to his bravery in this, and many other combat tours, he finished his enlisted duty as a decorated soldier. He re-joined the Army as a chaplain where he served Rangers and Airborne soldiers. He now pastors minutes away from the base where he once trained as a soldier and Ranger. His story of bravery, as well as the faith that got him through battle, is an amazing testament to God's goodness. In this conversation, Major Struecker tells Jeremy the story of Black Hawk Down, the peace that got him through that horrible night, and the life of ministry that followed.

Brandon Handley 0:00 4321 Hey there spiritual dope. This is Brandon Handley, the voice of a generation. I am on with my good friend, Jeremy Todd from the positive side, you may ask yourself the positive side of what of everything. positive side of everything Jeremy Todd and I, we go way back. So you've got the podcast positive side, you've got your coaching, you know, just high level executive success coaching, that you've been running for years now. And I've loved watching you kind of grow that business and continue to grow yourself. And we're going to talk today a little bit about leading your life from a spiritual angle and doing it so that you're having a more fulfilling more successful life. How's that sound to you? Jeremy Todd 0:48 Oh, that sounds perfect. Thanks for letting me on your Brandon Handley 0:50 show. jacked up and fired up. Yeah. Yeah, I decided that Jeremy I think was my very first podcast and and man We couldn't GS Remember, we're trying to figure out how to even like talk to each other. I think you had to record on your side, I had to record on my side on a child, like the cast was terrible. But the conversation was magic. And the magic continues before before we get going, right, so the first thing I like to start us off with is, you and I were conduits for you know, the creative source energy of the universe, right? And when we when we put these podcasts together, when you and I are connecting, we're not connecting because you and I, like have a good conversation and we like each other. Yeah, it's because some type of message it's got to come out of this. And it's got to come through you by being here today. What's that message that the university Sangeeta? Jeremy Todd 1:44 Well, for me, it's, it's it's a message that I've been really resonated with recently. I've always been resonating with this message, but recently, it's more important than ever that you know, it's that authenticity and being comfortable with myself and really being with everybody out there. It's, you know, the spirituality part. to even be comfortable with that. I think there's so many obstacles in our way and so many negative things that pop up on a day to day basis in our life with craziness going on. And it takes away from who we truly are. And it takes away our message. It takes away our spiritual spirituality. And you know, I'm tired of it. I'm ready to go the other way. I'm ready to really double down on my spirituality and double down on the positivity. Yeah. Because dammit, I'm tired of the negativity. And the only way we're going to do it is we're going to lead from the other side. And, you know, that's the side I want to be on. I don't want to be on the negativity side. I want to just, you know, trust and believe in myself with thee with the powers that I have already within that, I think, and they've been clouded for years. They've been clouded in the now with the craziness. They're even more clouded. But not anymore. Dammit, I'm tired. I'm sick and tired of this stuff. And you know, we talked briefly before this started about one of the things and again, I'm going on tangent, so I apologize but Brandon Handley 2:54 other things as a message that somebody needs here. It's coming through you. Jeremy Todd 2:57 Yeah, you know, we talked about you know, I'm ready to That book and I'm not here to talk about the book, but really here I'm talking about is the exercise of writing. I've never done it. I've never wrote more than three pages in my entire life. And now that I'm actually trying to put ideas down on paper, it's allowing me to go through this process in my head that I've never really been able to truly, not only just understand, but comprehend. Because things happen in my life and things happen in your life and in everyone's life that they're so hard for us to understand. And I try my small little brain, try and figure it out. And then you know, you lose topics, you lose organization in your own mind, because you go off on tangents, you think about other things. But as this writing process happens, and this is I guess, the biggest thing for everybody listening is write down some of those ideas. I recently had a piece of paper and pen next to my bed. So when I'm sleeping, I get an idea, boom, I write it down. But it's just being more organized and then being able to revisit that same thought, when I will. When typically in the past, when I would have an idea. I would struggle my way through it or fight my way through it. And another Understand why is this thought in my head right now? And then I'd be done with it, I move on with it, and then it would come back. And then I wouldn't be as clear as I am. Right. So throughout this writing process process and writing these things down that I've gone through in my life, it's given me a better opportunity to understand, you know, what the meaning was, at the time in my life. Why was it brought to me at that time in my life? And what have I actually learned and where I can build from that at this point in my life? So, man, it's just in the last few weeks, last few months, I've just been really magical. And you know, that's why it just ties right into this podcast. I was excited to get on the show to really talk about these things and talk about the things that typically other people don't want to talk about it don't know how to talk about it, or they know how to talk about it, but they're scared to talk about it. And I think that's a bigger thing. How am I going to get judged? Are these Yeah, Brandon Handley 4:44 am I weird? You know, to me, this is a you know this. So first of all, thanks for sharing that message. To me. It sounds like a message of you know, trying to reacquaint yourself with yourself. Yeah, exactly. And it's also trying to capture Those images that you create in your mind when they're clear, and they're vivid, and they're fresh on a piece of paper so that at least when you come back to them, you capture the full essence of what that image was. And because those, those little flashes of insight are just so powerful. And if you don't write them down, like you're saying, when you come back to it, it's a faded version of what it was when you first saw Yeah, you're like, this doesn't seem nearly as potent as it was, like, 45 minutes ago, right? Yeah, Jeremy Todd 5:30 exactly. Or I could completely forget about it. And then I'm like, damn it. What was that idea that I have? It's so powerful, for sure. Now, I can't remember it. All right, Brandon Handley 5:38 that's Tammy. It's amazing. Like I'm just like little little short bursts of like, capacitor energy, like, you know, that's the I don't know what you know about electronics, right? But uh, so there's little capacitor there that the energy gets stored in so that when you take a picture with the flash, right, it's a high burst of energy in that capacitor. Okay. But then it dissipates. And it takes a while for it to fill back up. Jeremy Todd 6:03 Right? Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly. Exactly. Oh, this isn't. And, you know, I just think that the journey that I'm on now it's one of the most powerful and exciting journeys I've ever been on my entire life because this is exactly like that. It's those ideas that I've never been really, really processed throughout, in my own head. And I've also mentioned this a lot lately is that, you know, I believe I have all the right answers already within me. But when I'm clouded by the darkness, or the negativity or just being busy, or all the other bullshit excuses, I can put in my own head and give myself away out. It just I've never really had the opportunity to sit down and be within myself and work my way through this and discover the answers that are right there in front of me. You know, like meditation. Brandon Handley 6:44 You know, first of all my own throws out at you right? In this book. I love this book. It's called a more beautiful question, right? We have been taught to have answers, right. But one thing that we haven't really been taught well, and I haven't been taught well, right is how to ask better questions how to ask like those. Sure, deep questions. And if we don't ask those if we don't if we don't learn how to ask, we don't learn how to kind of do that deep seeking, right? I mean, that's part of coaching though, too, right? Like the reflective aspect of coaching. I want to I do want to lean back here for a second because you talked about being afraid to lead with like that. That's spirituality, right with that, because that could be perceived weird. And that was really kind of something I had held myself back with. Right. And I'm super glad to hear like that, you know, you you've been looking for a place to have that conversation. You've been looking for a place to have that kind of it's not necessarily exposed, but who can I talk to? That is going to understand where I'm coming from with this stuff. Unknown Speaker 7:49 Hey, Brittany Haley. Absolutely. Hundred Brandon Handley 7:51 percent. Right. Absolutely. And, and, and then like, you know, there's zero judgment from that, too. It's like, all right, yeah. I hear what you're saying. And I I agree with, you know, everything you're saying. And and the question becomes like, Okay, this is where you're at, just like coaching, right? Where do you want to go? What do you want to do with this knowledge? You know it, right? Yeah. Now it's, you know, that's what you want to do. So you're doing it through a process a book, right? Jeremy Todd 8:18 Yeah, you know, and I think it's also understanding and just really have the mental capacity of understanding that, and I love this quote is vulnerability. vulnerability is my strength. By being vulnerable, being who I am and being being weird and quirky, that's my strength. And I've always shied away from that, like, you know, it's, it's, it's maybe not what so and so thinks I am or I don't want to get judged and all those other bullshit things that come in your head, but at the end of the day, none of that matters. And actually, the more authentic you are with yourself, the more powerful you become. And it's taken me a long time to even understand that point of it because, gosh, I mean, all these answers that I'm thrown out there within my life, people are attracted to me more now than they've ever been because it is different. It's what people have always wanted to do but they can't they don't have the power now they see, you know, they see you and they see me doing it. They're like, you know what, maybe it's okay. Yeah, those conversations are awesome to Brandon Handley 9:08 know. It's always awesome to you know, and I know that even when I started on the father for the rest of us podcast, I was like, Alright man, step into your power. Yeah. Right. And, and but this is so when I met Jeremy guys, ladies and girls, ladies and ladies and gentlemen, I met Jeremy in person years ago at a, you know, a podcast meetup. And one of the things that stood out to me about Jeremy was, you know, you talked about having to have 100% faith in yourself, and belief in yourself. Sounds to me and you know, I'm not trying to be judged. You're not though it sounds to me like you kind of got disrupted with some of that, like over the past couple years, right. And that's been something that's kind of been eating you away, but now you're finding kind of a Marie Newell. of this. I'll call it you know, faith and self, you know, self belief. Is that what I'm here coming? Because I mean, you're bringing the energy so Jeremy Todd 10:08 well, there's no question about it. And I think the biggest thing is, you know, it's that old saying act as if, And hey, if I'm gonna be honest, completely honest with myself, I've always tried to just keep telling myself Hey, everything's gonna be fine. If it's gonna be good. I'm gonna be super positive, but I've never really dealt with the reality of what I'm actually dealing with in within my soul. So, yeah, yeah, hey, that's me. And yes, I strive to stay motivated to stay positive. But man, it's those darker things that I've never really faced in the past. And now I'm to a point in my life that I just don't give a shit. Now. I mean, I just the more and more I self analyze myself, the better I become, and the stronger I become, and the happier I am. I've had this realization recently to it, and I'm doing right, a lot of writing about fear. And one of my fears was always about fear of being alone. And I really analyzed that about, you know, there's two ways, the initial way I looked at that Was selfishly the eagle Tell me why don't want to be by myself physically, like, like, I always want to have a partner with me. You know, I want to have a girlfriend, I want to be married, I want to have all this stuff. So I always felt like ask me, who what am I gonna do if I'm alone? I mean, how can I take care of myself? So it was all physical. Really the hard part of that one of the what I've really understood now is it's not the physical part of being alone. It's the mental part of being alone. How can I be alone with myself my own thoughts, I've got more time than ever now I've actually got to face these things. face these things that have always been right in front of me. All these things that I you know, my self doubt myself. You know, I'm critical of myself constantly. I don't think I'm this or I don't think I'm good enough or smart enough. So all these things now that I've understood that the fear of being alone wasn't the physical part is the mental part. And now that I'm facing that part of it, it's allowed me to grow exponentially. Because as I go through these things, I become happier with myself. I'm becoming my own best friend. Sure. And I think That's so powerful that you know we always and again this is me, I always thought I had to have that person Sure. Instead of understanding that I'm good enough and I can be my best friend and that was Brandon Handley 12:10 that I think that there's a there's a huge there's a huge that that's how we're brought up man right we're brought up the chaser relationship once you've got that great relationship you become whole type of thing and you know two people complete each other and all this other jazz right but you know, that may be the end and then then the end result but those two people come together I love I think it's Wayne Dyer that talks about Thank you don't come together as two halves and create a whole you come together as two people. You're still two people. Right? With with Yeah, individuality is you got to come together as two whole people, right, loving yourself as for who you are and and before other people can love you. Correct. You Jeremy Todd 12:55 can't come in halfway. You got to come in 100% because no one's ever gonna fill that void. That's something that's taking me a long time to really just wrap my head around that concept because I don't know what it was. I don't know if it's just a switch one day. I'm like, you know what, that doesn't make any sense. I mean, I kind of enjoy being alone, actually. I mean, it's all good. But man, oh, man, the more you get, you know, alone and you start thinking your way through Why don't you like little stuff? Jeremy, why don't you know why don't you give yourself excuses for not going to the gym? I enjoy the gym. Brandon Handley 13:25 I heard you know, so here's what I mean. Let's talk a little bit about it. I know that I heard you kind of busting your balls on on your podcast about like, you know, setting up excuses for yourself and realizations and you know, your own but yeah, and weighs out more than anything. But let's talk about you know, endless I mean, that's, that's, that's, that's everybody, right? That's every human that's out there does this to a certain degree. What I want to talk about those like, you know, kind of what you're talking about is is kind of leading with spirituality where you you know, you've accepted the power within you, right? Yeah. And, and so let's talk about What that means to you? Jeremy Todd 14:02 Well, I mean, it's almost for accepting the power of me is is tough because I don't know if I've accepted all the power within me. It's almost like I'm hitting, you know, analogy. I'm going going down a big hill and I still hold my hands on the brakes, not willing to completely let go. I'm going fast. We talked about earlier, take the hands off the steering wheel and just let it go. Right, right. I am. I'm getting closer. I believe in myself more now than ever. And, you know, you know, just to say, you know, I wouldn't enjoy some wins, and not that I've never had wins in the past, but I want to enjoy a win on the spiritual journey that I'm on now. Maybe it is when I get that book out. That'd be a winner in the accomplishment. Maybe I don't even know what what will it be, but it's almost like I'm just, this is the path I need to go on. Yeah, I feel comfortable with this path. I don't know what the end result looks like. But I've never felt so good about this path that I'm on that I've ever been in my entire life. Brandon Handley 15:04 So let's talk. Like, let's talk a little about, like, so it's like you're kind of you're kind of shading your own light is what I'm hearing. Right? So you're kind of shading your own light. Because it's, it's a little scary to admit that what you feel inside is greater than anything that you've ever felt before. Jeremy Todd 15:21 So exactly, right. Right. It is it is. You know, it's the self, you know, then you have the self, where am I worthy enough? You know, and these things are just there. And again, I'm not trying to say who was me and but believe me, it's the positive side guy, you know, I'm all good. But you know, in a different space, right? You're just so you're feeling when you dial down deep into it. Mm hmm. start identifying different things. It doesn't change who I am as a motivational guy, inspirational guy, but it's this new journey that I love picking this part about just to get better. And I love it. And love is challenging. It's difficult. It's extremely hard. And it's the best challenge I've ever been on in my entire life and Because of the decisions I've made in my life, they all brought me to this exact point for a specific reason. And I'm excited about where this is gonna go. Brandon Handley 16:08 Would you call it the serve resurrection of Jeremy Todd? Jeremy Todd 16:11 I kind of feel like that man I really do. It's it's doing things that I enjoy doing. If I don't want to do something, I just don't do stuff. I don't know how to even explain it. Brandon Handley 16:20 But don't do things that don't bring you life. Right. Why would you? Unknown Speaker 16:22 Yeah, yeah, exactly. Brandon Handley 16:24 And I think that though, you know, there's also there's a precipice here, there's a there's a, there's definitely caveats to this message, right? This is once you kind of step into this space that you're in, because prior to that people would take that as meaning Well, I'm gonna go out and I'm gonna get wasted. I'm not going to do work yada, yada yada. That's not what we're talking about here. Correct. We're not talking about going out and doing whatever you want. I'm gonna go streak and I'm gonna windows and all this other stuff. You can do that. Don't get me wrong. I have a blast right there. Done that right. Don't be a jerk. Um, but talking about, you know, what are the things ones that are fulfilling you right and looking for those and then adding more of those moments in your life is that we're talking about here Jeremy Todd 17:07 is exactly what I'm talking about and it's doing little stuff that I want to do like I you know, I went on that trip to Ireland by myself. Yeah, man, that was the coolest thing in the world but no plans just hit said hey, I'm going by myself I don't know anything. I don't know anybody. I don't know where I'm going but I'm just gonna go do it I'm gonna handle and it was a blast. I'm trying to plan my next trip and this is totally totally off the wringer but I want to go hunting for some reason never been hunting in my entire life. Right. Well, my buddy Dustin bond working you know, Dustin. Yeah, so I'm gonna go out and see Dustin Vaughn warranty and he doesn't know it yet. But I'm sure to plan a trip down to go go down to Texas and go haul Connie. Nice. I mean, I've never shot a rifle before in my life. But it just sounds interesting to go out and and again, I'm not trying to sound horrible but kill an animal. But actually not just killing the same. See, let it like actually consume the animal. And again, you know, hey, I'm eating you know, we all eat hamburger and cheese. And we don't actually see the beginning process. I mean I'm excited about the the mental journey I go on when I physically kill another animal and then consume that animal. What does that do with my perspective on day to day life with what may go and do you know, whatever, go to the restaurant get a hamburger. No. Brandon Handley 18:18 It's a rite of passage for you is What is Jeremy Todd 18:21 it? Yeah, it's just something different that I've always thought about to see what that process is actually, like, instead of just Hey, I'll take a hamburger. The hamburger comes you don't ever see any of that you don't see the cow Walker? You don't see it as a baby cow. Come on. Oh my god. It's so pretty and it grows up and you don't see any of that. Yeah. And I'm just really trying to get in touch with everything into my life. And that's just one small area that I can do it and hey, let's see how it goes. I don't I Brandon Handley 18:45 mean, that can be that could that could very well turn you into a vegetarian you never know. Well, because I'll tell you I had an experience growing up as a kid I got the BB gun and there was sitting in the backyard of my grandparents house. There's a was like a little bird said On the mulberry tree, right? Yeah. And I shot it, but then when I shot it like there was this thing that kind of just went through me it was so weird, right? Like when you Yeah, you know you're ending something else's life that look, we all step on bugs, right? we all we all flesh ticks. But yeah, it has something to do with like this this this bird right and and you know other lives. So you know it's an interesting it is definitely an interesting experience to take another life and I mean, it's very different than fishing. Right fishing Yeah, sure, sure. Same thing, but you don't the same thing, right? You're taking something out. Take taking something that was natural element and eventually you're killing it and consuming it. Yeah, right. I mean, there's no, there's no way to sugarcoat that's exactly what you know. But at the same time, it's really, I think important. What it sounds like is you want to go on or that process and experience it for yourself. I mean, yeah, Unknown Speaker 19:59 exactly. And Brandon Handley 20:00 how's that any different than mine ground beef? Jeremy Todd 20:05 Yeah, exactly. Oh, yeah, I would never shoot an animal but I'm gonna go buy chicken or meat. Okay, I have a big have a big steak, okay, hey, I get all that but it's just something I've thought about and I'd be really interested about the spiritual part about that is in how emotional is it going to be for me because I'm a big, I'm a big nerd. I'm a big softy. I mean, I'll probably cry Brandon Handley 20:26 like a little baby. I think it's interesting. Um, Jeremy Todd 20:28 but you know, if I'm going to kill it, I'm going to consume it. And I'm not going to just leave it out there and just waste it. But I'm also a big believer of everything you eat that you take the spirit of that animal to so the garbage food you do take on that animal spirit and that soul in that process, so if I go out to an animal and kill it, I'm taking on that animal soul. And I'm interested to see how that's gonna make me feel a little bit differently when I actually eat the meat is gonna be a little bit different, like, the whole process is just something Brandon Handley 20:59 I'll never know. Doesn't, I'm definitely interested to see kind of how that turns out for you. Right. And and the thing is main thing is, is not everybody's journey is the same, right? Your journey is your journey. And like I said, I'm enjoying, I'm joined kind of the space that you're in. Because it sounds like you're kind of at this front end of it, exploring it more, you expose the, you know, call it the light, your spirit, whatever, within you accepted it. And again, now you're like, Jeremy Todd 21:29 now what? Yeah, yeah. And that, and that's, I don't know if there's a right or wrong answer or direct explanation. But you know, it's interesting, you know, and obviously, you don't be pretty well in full disclosure, you know, coming out of a long term marriage. And, you know, it's interesting when you're in a long term marriage, and again, my perspective, no one else's perspective, but you begin to and this isn't all marriages, this is again, I'm just being very vague with this, but you begin to not develop as the person that you truly Are you almost become two people into developing and as one not this isn't anything wrong with that totally cool. But I feel like I've went down that farce down the road for so many years and so long that I'd never really identify with who I actually am because getting married at a young age, you develop each other's lives through each other through through each other's experiences and preferences and opinions and, and again, not to say there's nothing wrong with because it's shaped me to who I am today. But going through that whole process and now being and again, go back to that fear of being alone. That's part of this process is figuring out who am I actually, what do I actually enjoy? What actually does scare me? I don't know those answers yet. And again, I'd love it that I don't know the answers. Yeah. And I don't know if I'll ever know the answers because part of that process of trying to figure it out, develops the person that I truly am going to become Sure. It's like chasing, you know, chasing the sunset. You're never going to get But it's always bright and always looks good and I'm all for it. Yeah, but I mean, but hey, man, I it's exciting Dude, I I couldn't be happier. I couldn't be more excited about the future scared about the future all at the same time. But, man, if anybody out there, listen to the show, it's just an opportunity to really dive down deep within yourself and figure out who you truly are. And there's and the other thing about that is not that I have to say, but there's no right or wrong answer to that. It's not about I'm the right person or this is the wrong person. I was right. No, right or wrong. It's Who am Brandon Handley 23:33 I? The important thing is what you're saying there is eliminate the judgment. Right? Don't judge don't judge who you are. Don't judge the experience. Just Unknown Speaker 23:45 be Brandon Handley 23:47 right and it's really and again, that's something that unless and until you do it, it's a very it's very, it's a that's a very interesting experience. Um, and I you know, I picked that up through headspace, right and meditation and it was like, Don't judge. It was like it was there was a I forget one of the meditations, but even at the very, very beginning, like, Don't judge XYZ don't judge this. And while I'm sure I never thought of myself as judging before, I recognize the difference between judging my thoughts and experiences versus not. And when you're not judging them either good or bad. There's like an elimination of like weight on attachment to that, because when you judge something as good or bad, you're investing emotional energy into that. And that's a hook. Jeremy Todd 24:33 Yeah, that's well said. I mean, you're exactly right. Because when you use explain to court exactly perfect, because when you do put those emotions on things, they are heavy, and you don't need to put any emotion on them. These are the things that have happened. These This is what the decisions I've made in my past. This is who I am not right, they're not wrong. And it's interesting when you talk about judging people because we're judging. The first thing you always automatically is thinking about judging other people, but the first person you can't judge yourself. And we always skip ourselves, you know, it's like, oh, man, I'm gonna judge that person. I won't judge that person. But this person, we got to not judge ourselves and what has brought us to this point in our life is all the good decisions and the quote unquote bad decisions. Brandon Handley 25:14 Well, I'll tell you, I'll tell you, you know, what I kind of what I kind of got it down to was, you know, I tried really hard and made a lot of stupid mistakes. Right, and, and growing up, and the things that I did the things that I put in my body, the experiences I put myself through, and if I'm still here today, yeah, there's a reason. Reason. Yeah. And so I'm exploring that my purpose changes. My purpose changes the month the meanings change, but I investigate that right. I investigate that and it sounds like again, this is kind of where you're at, right? You're investigating Jeremy's purpose. You're investigating Jeremy's self identity. And I'd like to, you know, separate those two words. myself right your yourself those are two separate words right those are two ways now when you separate those two words and you break down what is your self that's your inner being I mean you look up the dictionary self is like your inner being right yeah and and so that's the piece that gets so neglected man and you know we show up in our you know late later ages nothing is all beat the hell it's like it's like it's like you show up with a used car lot there's the one that's like got leftover because because they didn't even want to take this wasn't one it's another Unknown Speaker 26:33 is yeah Brandon Handley 26:36 nothing left on it right. And now we're like, I can resurrect this bitch. Yeah, Jeremy Todd 26:41 yeah hundred percent. Well I think one of the biggest things like you were talking about there is that when when you are 100% comfortable with yourself. It gives you the ability to when other people come into your area. If you have a high level of your you know, your energies are super high. And then they're clean too, because you can have a high energy and not even understand your high energy. So when you're high energy and you've cleaned you have got no clouds of your head, and then someone else comes, approaches you you can sense their energies in one second. You know exactly what's going on. Hey, I can tell you're going through some stuff What's up? No, I'm not. Yeah, er, because I can feel it. Unknown Speaker 27:19 Right, right. And then Jeremy Todd 27:20 all of a sudden it starts spewing all these things that's going on because when you're super, super clean, and you have that high energy, man, you just see life differently. That's a different perspective. There's a lot of things that come to you that you're Yeah, you're blank, your brain would block before but now it doesn't block cc more you're more aware you're more alert and you just see the world in different way. It's it's powerful. It's it's the same as Brandon Handley 27:45 saying the two is when you kind of release the fear and come at it with a clean energy. You're open and receptive things because you're you're not goes back to judgment. You're not cringing yourself. You're not afraid of that person. Because you're good with who you are Jeremy Todd 28:03 correct? Yeah, you know, it's so funny having conversations with people now that you male, female, whatever the case is, and they don't want to tell you a story. I don't want to tell you that because I don't want you to think of me as this. I truly would never think of any differently than what we have right here. Right? I don't care what you did in your past. I don't care what happened because hey, what the past what you brought you to me, and now we're having this conversation. I don't judge. But people don't people. You know, it's almost like Brandon Handley 28:30 if your story is funny and crazy, I'll tell you. Yeah. It was crazy, though. Yeah, but you did you did that. Exactly. Okay. Right. Jeremy Todd 28:39 But again, there's no reason to charge anybody anything because we're all of our spirits are completely different. But we're all here. Like you said, we're all here. Everything just bad decisions. I made, quote unquote, bad decision. This brought me to this point right now and I couldn't be any happier. Brandon Handley 28:52 Right? So I mean, talk to me how you feel, you know, a big part of this is leading with spirituality to for a more fulfilling life. Tell me how you feel like you're doing that now? Jeremy Todd 29:03 Well, I think it's direct reflection of, of, of my podcast. I mean, I and again, I'm not here to promote promote my podcast but that's that's really what I do is I really promote a peaceful spirit, a peaceful body peaceful soul and being authentic and be comfortable who I am and experiencing that and telling people, it's going to be okay. Hey, I've got this podcast that I tell people, the most honest, brutal stories in my life. But I don't expect any judgment from anybody. I don't judge myself for the experiences I've made. But I'm living from a spiritual peaceful place them coming out just to help others. And I can't tell you how many emails responses I get from people all over the world that just call me randomly email me randomly Jeremy changed my life. Thank you so much. That you know I was going through tough times with the COVID I had a young lady that's in Las Vegas she emailed me two weeks ago and said Jeremy changed my life. I was searching for a motivational podcasts. I searched positivity and yours came up. And I was blown away. I lost my job. You know, I have no money. I've got a young child at home. I don't know what to do, right? But just having that mental spirituality, that peacefulness well come over to you, man, I'm telling you just makes a big difference and we will talk about it enough. Brandon Handley 30:23 I think that um, you know, a piece a piece of that, right? Like, can talk to me like a little bit about what you're feeling when you say spirituality because here's another thing that, you know, I'm, I'm kind of tripping over the past few days, is when somebody says they're spiritual, but like, they don't believe in God or a higher source. There's like, I'm spiritual. I'm like, no, not. Because like that answers. It's void of weight and substance right sometimes. Sure. And so, you know, that's why, you know, I saved you. So when you're saying spiritual, to me, what do you what are you saying? Jeremy Todd 31:00 I have a secret question. I am agnostic at best. I believe there's a higher power that I believe there's a higher source. I believe everything in my life happens for a specific reason. This is why I'm here. I don't think my mind is or my brain is big enough to comprehend what all is going on. What I do know is that everything that's happened in my life has happened for a specific reason. Whether that being a higher being whether that being God, whether that be Butoh, I mean, I've studied every possible type of religion in the world. But I believe there is something else out there, there has to be. And and again, I don't know what that answer is it. It's hard for me to comprehend. It's hard for me to work my way through it. But what I do know is that I continue to do what I believe is the right thing to do. Everything always has worked its way out every single time in my life. It always has and always will. So when you talk about my spiritual for a specific, you know, white God on top of the cloud with a white beard, right, that's not my spirituality Brandon Handley 31:58 now, but it sounds like you've got a There's a grand design greater great. There's got to be like a universal intelligence that has kind of a design aspect. Otherwise you would have driven off the road that night. Otherwise you wouldn't have made it home safely that one time. Otherwise, you know, I mean, I do Jeremy Todd 32:17 know. Okay, so it's it's a tricky thing to think about. Because, you know, typically when you hear the word spiritual, you're on Jesus and God and then well, that's the thing is that my spirituality? I'm sorry. I mean, it's great. And I and I respect that. I respect all religions respect everybody, but it's just not what I believe I Brandon Handley 32:36 was just not the one that speaks to you right now. Right. So Jeremy Todd 32:40 yeah, no judgment, obviously. no judgment. Yeah. So Brandon Handley 32:42 so for me more and more recently, right. It's come to kind of my attention, right that this, every one of these religions is just kind of a framework to the place where you've gotten to right now place where I've gotten to right now. So we've got a set of have potential instructions. If we were to arrive at this point in our lives right now and be like, I'm freaking out, man, I know there's something inside me it's coming out. I liken it to like being a seed to write like, our bodies are spiritual seeds, right? This is this cell right here, right? And that you know sounds to me too like again I'm just I'm just coming pulling shit on my butt but like it sounds to me like you know that that spirit within you is starting to on fertile right just like a C correct and a show and there's no stopping it right it's like it's like asphalt doesn't stop like a grass seed from cracking through it, right? Yeah, exactly. And so you've got like this you've got like this life energy right now that is just unfolding, and you're letting it unfold within you right now. Jeremy Todd 33:49 Right? And you know, there I've also you know, looked into there's a lot of studies or a lot of free legends have said that, that there is no god we are all our own God. Our God is within ourselves. We have all greatness we all we are everything that we want to be in candy. We just have to access that and work our way through it. That's another thing that you know, again, maybe that's the answer. Brandon Handley 34:12 So so I can help you out with this one. Right and you just just from personal experience, right. So I'm in, But to your point earlier to what degree like you know, like I like you know, I'm holding the wheel just in case, right I actually got this number right, right, right. But it actually Joe dispenza Oh no, I think it was rah rah Robin Sharma or Joe dispenza. I've got 210 minute pieces that I listen to all the time from both of those guys to send them to me. Absolutely man. So one of his like you if you rise to your level of thinking, Okay, okay. So, if you rise to your level of thinking and your current level thinking is that you are a human being What's your maximum potential? Right here? maximum potential is your whom human being potential, which sometimes seems limited. Okay with that, well, if God is everything or you know, is it even within me then there's something godlike within me, right? At least I'm attached to God somehow and I'm a part of that. Now I've got a different level of thinking. Right? Because now my being has changed. Right? Or, you know, again, you know, we can you can play with like, which beingness are you right now? Yeah. hanging out in divine being right. I salute the Divinity within you right now. mistake. Sure, Unknown Speaker 35:40 sure. So, Brandon Handley 35:42 if you're a divine being, then you also are willing to accept grace, which is divine strength, outside strength, right, and kind of so that changes your level of thinking, I look at everybody as a divine being, right. So can we agree more, if we've got that and that's my level. Thinking, what's to stop me? Jeremy Todd 36:02 Nothing. So I mean yourself. I mean, your your, your ego? I mean, I don't know. I mean, Unknown Speaker 36:08 if you let that go, I mean, that's all stuff, you gotta let go. Jeremy Todd 36:11 There's no question. You know, I think it's all those things that that that continue to work on is letting that go. But it's not. It's not like hitting a switch. It's not like often, you know, it's a process. Yeah, it's, that's what I love about it. Brandon Handley 36:22 It's a slow build, you know, it's just like anything else. This is kind of a you know, and you can change again, you're like, Alright, well, you know, ratchet that different thinking, but if you rise to your level of thinking, What are you thinking about yourself? Right? Again, I'll separate those two words. Sure. What are you thinking about yourself? Is that is that an XYZ nature if it you know, what, what nature of the self? Are you sure? Yeah, Jeremy Todd 36:48 no, I get it. It's a tough topic to talk. I mean, I don't want to say it's even tough. It's just for me, it's just working my way through that mental process. And I think to myself, Well, imagine what you know, like Three years ago, you know where I'm at now versus three years ago, were just gonna be three years from now. I mean, man, it's just working your way through this and getting better and getting smarter and getting stronger, and getting more free. I just I just love I just love life, man. I love the love the journey. I love the conversations. I love the deep topics. I just miss what we're here for. Right? Bam. So, again, I Brandon Handley 37:22 feel like that's kind of where you're at. Right? you're you're you're working on this kind of determining, yeah, who the self is right? And then like, how are you harnessing it right, you're stepping into your power and making that determination for yourself every day? Yeah, I mean, tell me like I'll place you. Where's the practical application for this for yourself? Like where someplace you've applied this like way of thinking. Jeremy Todd 37:48 I did everything. I mean, literally, I literally I mean I go to work. I'm that weird guy. I do my podcast. I'm not different do as a parent. I think that's one of the most powerful places you can do. It is not get caught up with Like being you know, I'm not I'm not a guy that's gonna like, I guess parenting is different for me than a lot of other people that I see because I had these deep conversations with my kids. And I tell them that, hey, it doesn't matter what happened, you know, if you made a mistake, it's okay. It's not a mistake. It's a learning process. It's becoming the better person that you are. My kids are weird. And I love it. I love them for it weird to society. You know, they're weird. Yeah. But they're brilliant. They're smart. And we have these deep conversations. And that's probably the most important thing that I can push on to them is that you know that the power of who they are the power of what they look like the power of their, their selves. The more with kids getting beat down over social media, their friends, and we're talking to them about different stuff that other parents aren't talking to our kids about. They can deal with this every day and this is not an easy conversation for them either. But the more we have it, the more we understand that that is okay and the stronger they become at a younger age. I would you know, no disrespect to My parents, but I would never had these conversations with my kids when I was a kid. You know, it wasn't even thought Brandon Handley 39:04 of you never had that conversation. different times. Right? Jeremy Todd 39:07 Correct. But you know, hey imagine 30 years from now what are my kids gonna be look like by having these conversations now? Hopefully I'm around for but my kids are gonna be so much more well off more happier within themselves more comfortable with who they are, and not get caught up in the craziness. That is that is life. So, right. That's by far the number one thing by far Brandon Handley 39:29 your parenting so your planet, you know, and your parenting life. This is Jeremy Todd 39:32 weird parenting, though it's just different and not weird, or it's just different parenting different from what you grew up with. Right? Yeah, and as many people do, but man, I just think it's the most powerful thing you can do right now is to teach that to your children. about spirituality. What does it mean? What does it mean to them? What does it look like? What do they believe? And then not bashing them? Like, you know, I was born and raised Catholic. That's the that's the only way you thought was born, raised Catholic. Unknown Speaker 39:54 Sure. Jesus died on the cross God blah, blah, blah, Jeremy Todd 39:57 Heaven and Hell and all that good stuff. That was all Have you thought anything different? You were on Galston? Unknown Speaker 40:03 Yeah. But what literally? Jeremy Todd 40:05 Yeah, literally Yeah. Yeah. I mean, literally you were, I mean, kicked out of school, this kid, this kid's got something wrong with them. But in reality, that's not the case. And again, I think that's one of the most powerful things that that I'm doing right now. And, you know, the mother of my children does, we're on the same page for that, too. So it's great. I mean, it couldn't be any better right now. Brandon Handley 40:24 That's cool. So just integrating it with your daily life is kind of how you're applying it practically. And Jeremy Todd 40:30 yeah, you know, again, it's it's it's easier said than done. I know, but I'm doing so often. I love the reactions i get i give such different opinions on different topics in different situations that I don't care what anybody says, This is how I truly feel. This is my opinion. It's not right or wrong, right. But I may see something different than may open someone's up someone's eyes instead of falling in line. That's what we get to do. This is what this is, you know, going to church on Sunday. You're doing this you're doing it. Oh, I mean, I am and I support that to do your thing. Brandon Handley 40:59 Well, yeah. Yeah, look man, like, like we said, Yeah, everybody's path is their own path. Right. Yeah. I think that that's I think that you know, when they created this country that was the pursuit of happiness right the the freedom was a religion was those things right was you know, hey listen this is a true thing. A lot of us Christians here but uh you know Jeremy Todd 41:23 that now religion one of the greatest the constitution one of Brandon Handley 41:26 the greatest things ever and I love it Listen man I think there was a powerful document right and i think that that's just another one of those things that we take for granted. Jeremy Todd 41:33 Right? It is and it's freedom of speech freedom of I mean for women they carry handgun freedom, you name it freedom. I just love it because I can be who I am and we're very, very blessed. But what are the chances? This is another thing what are the chances of us being born in this country at this time out of any other country on any other planet in any other situation? I mean, how lucky and blessed are we? Brandon Handley 41:56 Well, I think that that's a huge part of the story. huge part of the entire outlook Jeremy, what you're saying right there is that, you know, if you look at where you are, and everything you do is what I'm here to say is like as a miracle, Unknown Speaker 42:11 it is miracle that we're blessed Brandon Handley 42:14 right then. And could you could you imagine a better time in the anytime to become yourself? Jeremy Todd 42:22 No, no. I mean, can you imagine me being born with a horse and carriage? I would have been dead 25 years ago. You could survive. You Brandon Handley 42:31 know, I'll tell you, man, I know. I know. Definitely growing up. I did a lot of like things that, you know, I should have gotten my ass kicked for. But I definitely would have gotten a shot for like an 1800s type of thing. Like, Jeremy Todd 42:42 I mean, exactly. I am so soft and so fragile. I would have no chance 100 years ago, but I wasn't I mean, but hey, even now, I could have been born in South America or North Korea or meat. I mean, you name the country. Well, you could be born anywhere but Unknown Speaker 42:59 here it is. Man, I'm just Brandon Handley 43:02 so blessed. I think it's a beautiful time, man. I think it's a beautiful time we're in so Brother, listen, I know. I mean, we always love catching up on loving hearing your journey and you know how you're just you know, loving on your spiritual self and you keep growing that right and you're leading with that. Tell me like yeah, listen, people never heard you before. So where should they go check you out? If you haven't heard me, Jeremy Todd 43:23 come on, come on rapidly for obviously, you remember the positive side podcast. It's the positive side podcast. You check out the positive side podcast calm, but more importantly, just hop on the show. And again, the intentions of the show truly, truly, truly are just to just tell my random stories through life, the stuff that I struggle with, to share those messages to understand that hey, if you are struggling, you are going through these tough times. You're not alone and we're all going to get to this together. We're all going to get better we're all gonna get stronger. So that's the biggest thing. Or you can always email Jeremy Jeremy at Jeremy Todd COMM But then, more importantly, Brandon, I love this show. Man. This is like the perfect show for you. It's this is like you wheelhouse bro. I've just been a long time ago. That's Unknown Speaker 44:04 right. I was afraid. Unknown Speaker 44:06 Sure. I get Brandon Handley 44:07 it. I was afraid. I was afraid. And but it's where I wanted to be, which is the funny thing, right. And so what's what's funny is that it is opened up but is blown up and opened up like the reception. Yeah. And so me just going and doing that thing that I was so afraid to do so many years ago. Self permission. Yeah. Yes. I mean, I think that you know, listen, if you made it to the end of the podcast, that was the message that you need to hear today, man, this is like, self permission. So Exactly. Alright guys. Thank you so much, Jeremy. And we'll chat next time. Oh, hell yeah, Jeremy Todd 44:45 brother. Thank you. Transcribed by https://otter.ai

He’s failing miserable at the patience part.This month in Pop-Culture History1975 Microsoft was formed by a partnership of Bill Gates and Paul Allen in Albuquerque, New Mexico1986 Geraldo Rivera hosted a live two-hour special titled The Mystery of Al Capone’s Vault.

The story is weird, somewhat unfamiliar and a little bit aggravating, but it’s a fresh take. How far they go with it and what is the outcome for the long haul of the X-Men is up in the air. However, the graphic design of the info dumps in the book are stunning and show attention to detail. It’s worth checking out if you’re an X-Men fan.Deep Dive Everybody has a strong opinion when it comes to their favorite portrayal of a hero, but none can compare to the tenacity of Batman.

Eve Picker: Hey, everyone, this is Eve Picker, and if you listen to this podcast series, you're going to learn how to make some change. Hi, there. Thanks so much for joining me today for the latest episode of Impact Real Estate Investing. My guest today is Eric Kronberg.   Eve Picker: Eric is a principal at Kronberg Wall, an architecture and urban design firm based in Atlanta. They describe their work as conscious urban placemaking, and they describe Eric as the firm's Zoning Whisperer. We'll unpack that in this podcast, along with Eric's belief that the revitalization of a neighborhood is perhaps the best way to advance the triple bottom line.   Eve Picker: Be sure to go to EvePicker.com to find out more about Eric on the Show Notes page for this episode and be sure to sign up for my newsletter so you can access information about impact real estate investing and get the latest news about the exciting projects on my crowdfunding platform, Small Change.   Eve Picker: Hi, Eric, how are you today?   Eric Kronberg: Doing well. Thanks for having me.   Eve Picker: Thanks for joining me. So, you're an architect, and you have a firm that focuses on conscious urban placemaking, which I really love. I sort of poked around your website a little bit and really enjoyed it. I especially enjoyed some quotes that just made me smile. The first one was, "Great public space is a kind of magical good. It never ceases to yield happiness. It's almost happiness, itself." Well, that's really true for me, but I wonder if most people are even aware of that?   Eric Kronberg: I would absolutely agree that they probably are not and that part of a lot of our work is to help raise awareness of really what makes great places, and inclusive places, and trying to break down the terminology and the components of that. So many folks are eager to advocate for better places, but they don't know the words to use; they don't know the things to advocate for. A lot of our work is to make it- to help give people tools, and knowledge to push themselves, developers, elected officials to make and create better places. A lot of our work, particularly on our blog, is written from that perspective to help everyone to advocate for better places, because it takes everybody pulling together to make that happen.   Eve Picker: The role of the architect/urban designer, then, is educator, right?   Eric Kronberg: That's a major component of it. At a sort of selfish basic level, we come at the vast majority of it from a standpoint - the vast majority of projects require some kind of governmental permission. In Atlanta, that means there's a zoning change, or this, or that, and we need the community to bless that change. If we want the community to go along with something that they think is a bit weird, or different, or outside the typical rules, we've got to make sure they're comfortable with why it's a good project. The more educated the neighborhoods are with what good urbanism entails, the more likely we are to get our projects approved and design great things for our developer clients, or nonprofits, or city officials, or whatever. We take an approach that the more educated and inspired citizens are, the better chance there is to do better work.   Eve Picker: Yeah, I would agree with that. Another personal favorite of mine on your site was this one: "When revitalization of our distressed neighborhoods is done well, it is almost unrivaled in the ability to advance simultaneously the triple bottom line goals of sustainability, improving the environment, the economy, and social equity." That's a really big statement, right? So, I wonder what you think is a really good example of a revitalization done well that advances that triple bottom line or one that you've done that you think best advances it?   Eric Kronberg: Well, sure, and before ... A couple of those quotes, we have borrowed from friends, too, so I want to make sure I give credit-   Eve Picker: No, I know. I thought about giving credit, and then I thought, no, that'll really slow things down. Let's just say this - if anyone wants to know who made the quote, go to Eric's website, which will be posted on this website, right?   Eric Kronberg: Yeah. Sounds great. One of our earlier projects that won a lot of awards - kind of surprising us a little bit but helping us understand that really honing in on how this work matters - was one we did in New Orleans over a series of years with a wonderful client, where he bought up a series of distressed, vacant single-family and duplex houses. This is all post-Katrina. He assembled 20 to 25 dwellings across 15-16 buildings and married that with a Low Income Housing Tax Credit project. He was able to take a really complicated government funding mechanism for affordable housing and work specifically on blight removal.   Eric Kronberg: But the blight removal wasn't tearing these things down and building new, by and large. We were doing historic preservation. We were taking historic, beaten-up old shotguns, and doubles and renovating them to be energy efficient and to come back as affordable housing. The neighborhoods we were working in were a range, but primarily Seventh Ward and Tremé in New Orleans. These are neighborhoods that now have just seen massive housing price appreciation. They're highly desirable; they're highly expensive. So many folks are facing challenges of displacement and trying to stay in the places they grew up.   Eric Kronberg: For us, I think, over five years in total, we did a hundred dwellings that are affordable housing for 30 to 35 years, depending on the specific project or time that this was done. Also, as the neighborhood was revitalizing, we would do sometimes two-three houses on a block, or over the course of a couple blocks scattered. Our client would specifically target the worst houses, the ones on the verge of collapse, for a variety of reasons.   Eric Kronberg: You cannot understand how powerful it is to take them as blighted structures on a block, and revitalize them, and renovate them to an amazingly high historic preservation standard, and HUD affordable housing standards, and have it be one of the best houses on the block, but not a shiny, blingy spaceship, landing from far away, but just the house that's been there for 200 years-   Eve Picker: That's pretty fabulous.   Eric Kronberg: We've done other great work, but sometimes it's really hard to beat that one-   Eve Picker: Those houses remain affordable for 35 years, and they're kind of woven into the fabric of a now very solid neighborhood that is mixed and everyone can enjoy.   Eric Kronberg: We could talk for an hour about this project, but it's a natural mixed income development, because these are inserted into, with other private homeowners who have seen appreciation. That's wonderful, but one of the most powerful things we've seen for the residents is, as highly energy efficient homes, some had to meet Energy Star; others had to meet Enterprise Green Community standards. These are homes where utility bills, in total, for water, gas, electric, may be about 80 or 90 bucks a month. These are residents, oftentimes, that were living in really substandard housing before, and they may be paying $400 to $500 a month in utilities, because [cross talk] and leaking windows. Not only is the rent exceedingly affordable, but the utility costs have been crushed.   Eve Picker: Their quality of life is changed radically.   Eric Kronberg: It really, really is. Also, for those that live around these houses, because these were the houses that were the absolute problems that attracted crime and other kinds of nuisances on the block. It's just such a great win, without a doubt. Our client's been asked about it and spoken about it a lot. We speak about it from time to time.   Eric Kronberg: The big cautionary tale we tell people, though, is that this was really possible because we were able to marry the Low Income Housing Tax Credits to the [Y Tech] with historic tax credits. That's an amazingly complicated legal tightrope to be able to do on the best of days. but applying state historic tax credits, and federal historic tax credits, and Low Income Housing Tax Credits; then there were some home funds here and some block grants there; NSP2 dollars for some of them. There was tremendous layering off capital stack to make this happen, but the outcome has been phenomenal.   Eve Picker: That's pretty great. I have to think about what's an example of revitalization that misses this completely and could do the same thing. I don't know if we can think of one.   Eric Kronberg: We do a lot of work in Atlanta, where we're taking often crappy 1960s warehouses and revitalizing them into restaurants, and loft office, and breweries, and other stuff. But one of the components of this is if the place you're starting with has blighted structures on it and you can reuse, and/or add to them, you're not displacing people typically, or generally with that endeavor. That is a starting point that makes it easier.   Eric Kronberg: That doesn't always happen. Sometimes people get kicked out of the building we're working with as clients, but usually we're starting with weird, blighted buildings that are empty. So, you're not displacing there, then, and to the degree that the outcomes of the uses benefit the community, that's great. Sometimes, it's affordable housing, and that's an easy win. Other times, it's market rate loft office, and sometimes, that's not exactly - you could argue - for all the community.   Eric Kronberg: Finding market uses for blighted buildings that can pay the rent to justify renovating them is a critical component to fixing up neighborhoods. We always take an approach that there's never enough federal subsidy to go around, or state or local subsidy. So, anything that we can do from a market rate perspective to help remove blight is something we're very, very interested in.   Eve Picker: Be sure to go to EvePicker.com and sign up for my free educational newsletter about impact real estate investing. You'll be among the first to hear about new projects you can invest in. That's EvePicker.com. Thanks so much.   Eve Picker: I think people don't realize the cost of building or renovating is so great that, often, developers are thought of as just greedy. But I think many of the developers I talk to are really just trying to make it work. They have enormous expenses in construction expenses, and they have to somehow find an income stream. It's very difficult, right?   Eric Kronberg: Well, yeah. Another area we spend a lot of time, which is definitely outside the realm of traditional architect, is we focus a lot on infrastructure costs. In our mind, infrastructure is everything other than the building. We look at all the costs based on parking requirements, which also trigger stormwater requirements, which waste land that doesn't produce rent. In Atlanta and other cities, we're required to put in a lot of streetscapes and street trees, which we love but are expensive.   Eric Kronberg: What we try to do is help people understand that every dollar that goes into those components takes away dollars from the building. As architects at heart, we would love as much budget to make our buildings as beautiful as possible. If we want our buildings to at least look decent, we've got to find ways to reduce all those costs. We work really, really hard on zoning and a whole other range of issues to find ways to minimize the costs of what we have to do.   Eric Kronberg: Sometimes, it's educating clients to look for places where sidewalk and street trees are already in place, so you don't have to redo those. It's reducing parking requirements, so you don't have to pave over half a lot and do a huge stormwater vault underground. There's a range of ways to tackle this.   Eric Kronberg: A lot of it comes down to showing clients where, if you start with an existing building, you can also often do partial conformance to energy codes and building codes and save a really cool old building and have it actually be more cost effective, because you're not having to necessarily renovate to the full standards of a new building.   Eric Kronberg: Energy nerds get mad at me, because it's not as great as a new building. I'm like, Yeah, sure, right, but we just saved that building, and it's back in productive use, and it didn't get torn down." We take a very global holistic view at all of these things and look to create the most good with the scarce resources we have at our disposal.   Eve Picker: I think that's the right approach to take. You mentioned zoning, and another comment that made me smile was - I read through your bio - you're described as a Zoning Whisperer. You specialize in examining and demystifying zoning ordinances to find ways to make great projects possible and help others navigate through the zoning swamp. That's a pretty big statement - zoning's a hot button at the moment. I'd love you to tell us a little bit about how you think about zoning.   Eric Kronberg: Zoning, to me, is this collection of legalese that is filled with good intentions, usually; sometimes discriminatory, awful intentions, but, usually, the hope is that there's good intentions with what they're writing this for. It produces typically amazingly awful outcomes. Most people don't understand the intent, or the why for zoning, and they absolutely don't understand the outcomes of what they've written for those who write the codes.   Eric Kronberg: So, it's our job to understand the how, and the why, and then to kind of re-manipulate what's going on to get to better projects. There's so many layers to the zoning, but what we find time and again in a range of jurisdictions is that the people enforcing the zoning understand the letter of the law, but they don't understand much beyond that, oftentimes. They may want something better, or hope for a better project, but they don't understand how the rules prevent those things from happening. Without that knowledge, they don't know how to change or modify the rules to encourage better behavior or better projects and outcomes.   Eric Kronberg: We do a lot of coaching in the zoning sphere from both teaching communities, but also elected officials, to help people understand: if these are the things we say we want in a community that's going to make for a better neighborhood, here are the specific rules that make that either specifically illegal, through zoning, or functionally illegal, through regulations that make it impossible to provide under any circumstances on the planet Earth.   Eric Kronberg: Most people are not able to connect the dots, because they're either planners, who work at 30,000 feet and don't really understand nuts and bolts of development, or they're architects who just can't look past the property lines to understand that there's more out there. So, it's our job to really go between these different realms and show not just design outcome goals, from the architecture side, but development necessity.   Eric Kronberg: We stress all the time that if you can't get the rent, you don't do the building. The building's got to pay for itself, or it's not going to happen. If the zoning mandates not- buildings that can't pay the rent, you're not going to get the buildings you want. It's design, to development, to urban planning, and city goals - to say: if these are your goals, your rules are in direct opposition to those goals and not just to complain, but to say: these are how the rules need to change, if you want better outcomes.   Eve Picker: This moment in time is a perfect storm for zoning, because many zoning laws around the country have been in place for quite a long time, maybe even 50 years, right? Right now, people are experimenting with new types of commercial uses, and new types of housing uses, and moving away from the very traditional suburban one-family-per-house model. I don't know what Atlanta is like, but I know other states are kind of playing with mixing single-family zoning, for example.   Eric Kronberg: Yeah, which we're super-excited about. Atlanta's actually been doing some great stuff. Some cities are getting splashier headlines. Hat tip to Minneapolis and the great work going on in Oregon. We really hope California can find a way to solve its housing crisis, because we know they need all the help they can get.   Eric Kronberg: We've been working quietly in the background with friends of ours that are on the code writing team to help Atlanta solve some problems. Atlanta's actually done some quiet- they're calling them 'quick fixes,' where they've tweaked some codes around the edges. The thing is, they've tackled really substantive components to make the city better, and it's usually in the geeky areas that you would never start with.   Eric Kronberg: We helped and had some great leadership on the city side, and the consultant side, but the city enacted some amazing parking reforms that you may not typically think of as a suburban developed city, like Atlanta, or as it's been pegged historically. Little things like stating that all buildings built before 1965 no longer have parking requirements. That's transformational for historic preservation of the city.   Eve Picker: That absolutely is, yeah.   Eric Kronberg: Then they also said all buildings within a half mile of transit no longer have parking requirements-   Eve Picker: That's fabulous.   Eric Kronberg: -that's for all uses other than alcohol, over a minimum size. That's kind of a weird twist, which we can kind of gloss over for now, but, on-street parking [cross talk]   Eve Picker: Why alcohol? Hold on a second-   Eric Kronberg: This is fun. So, the parking exceptions don't apply to any use with an alcohol license over 1,200 square feet. Everybody says, "Well, why should you drive to a bar?" The rationale - and this is sort of the twisted logic - is that uses with alcohol licenses can pay a lot more in rent than typical retail. They're trying to find a way to be flexible, but to protect smaller scale retail from getting priced out and having all of these places become entertainment districts, which is a very interesting balance and problem to try to wrestle with.   Eve Picker: Yes.   Eric Kronberg: There are always other ways to skin the cat and solve the problem, but that was the way that Atlanta landed upon to do that. The goal was that hopefully you could do a small neighborhood pub; that wouldn't have to have parking, if it was small enough. But once you got over a certain size, with alcohol, you might become more than just a neighborhood spot. You might become more of a- I wouldn't call it a regional attractor, but more of a multi-neighborhood attractor, attracting more traffic. Traffic is the bane of neighborhoods from a perceptional standpoint, so that was the compromise they used to pass. Nothing's ever perfect with zoning, so that's a reasonable compromise to get the great stuff we got passed. We deal with it. It's a lot better than what it was.   Yeah. I've always been fascinated by people who complain about not enough parking, and then they go to a place like New York, and say how fabulous it is. I want to say, "Well, we should be so lucky as not to need parking or to have as little of a place  New York, because it's economically vital, and vibrant, and you don't need to drive everywhere. There is some pretty big upheaval going on around zoning, and I really- I wonder how quickly that's going to continue. It just sort of started, and it's taking off.   Eric Kronberg: Well, I think that one of the one of the big areas that we focus on as a personal mission is to really demonize single-family zoning to the extent we possibly can. We know we're not going to change that everywhere, and it doesn't need to change everywhere, but one of the reasons we focus on that, and I think why it's becoming to the fore with a lot of places is that, fundamentally, in 99 percent of cities, single-family zoning, the development pattern does not produce nearly enough property taxes to pay for all the services needed for those places.   Eric Kronberg: By services, that's also infrastructure renovation, or replacement, along with police, and fire, and pensions, and trash, and everything else. Most single-family homeowners are mortified to hear that. They think they're carrying the weight for the whole city, but they're not. As city after city tends to go bankrupt or goes deep in the red trying to provide services for their citizens, a lot are finally starting to wake up and realize something's got to change.   Eric Kronberg: Then you also combine the city tax structure along with massive change in household makeup, and demographic. We've only got 20 percent of American households with three people or more living in them with nuclear families. I think it's over 76 to 80 percent of households are one or two people. Single-family housing, which makes up 65-66 percent of US housing stock, is a complete mismatch for most people living in America. Then you can layer on millennials and baby boomers, in particular, who wanted to live near a walkable amenity ... It's just a disaster from our housing stock to what we need. Then there's land use regulations that prevent us from building the stuff people want.   Eve Picker: Yeah. How do you get through all of that, Eric?   Eric Kronberg: The good news is the problems are endless. We're talking with a range of [inaudible] development folks in state of Georgia. We're working with a great nonprofit in from our development alliance, helping the state of Michigan and the state of Virginia. I was talking some great people in the state of Maine this morning. The thing is, everybody thinks their place is special and every town is unique, it has character ... That's great, but these are fundamental problems with the American development pattern that are pretty typical.   Eric Kronberg: Whether you're in Maine, Michigan, Montana, a lot of the problems these towns face are relatively similar. Since most zoning laws tend to be generally cut-and-paste from the '50s through the '80s, the land use regulations, generally speaking, tend to have a lot of similarities of the worst qualities. The repairs to these zoning codes always have to be calibrated to local conditions, but there's some pretty typical stuff places could do to make their places better.   Eve Picker: Absolutely. Your projects have a lovely, authentic, grounded feel to them. I can imagine myself living in them or using them. Nothing super-slick, and all of them are very beautiful. I think the word is approachable. Along with that, you have quite a list of achievements and awards. It looks to me like your firm is pretty young. I'm not sure when you put your firm together, but why do you think your projects are so well received?   Eric Kronberg: Well, thank you for the compliment. [inaudible] part of it's because we don't have any budgets. We have to help the developers scrimp and stretch every dollar as far as they possibly can. There's nothing superfluous. Everything has to matter. Any move we do, we need to get the triple benefit of fixing a facade with new windows; it's got to provide better natural light. We don't have projects with fat in them, so everything is just kind of stripped bare and as meaningful as it possibly can, often just due to necessity. In terms of awards, we've got an amazingly talented friend who works for us to write award submissions. The key to winning awards is having a writer-   Eve Picker: I don't believe that for a moment! It's not the writing of the award submissions.   Eric Kronberg: Yes, it is! You just invest in a great writer. Don't spend any money on PR, spend your money on great photography and a great award submission writer. That is the key to our architectural award success.   Eve Picker: I think why your projects resonate with me is it's pretty much what I had to do with my own development projects. It was absolutely no fat in them. You had to make the bones of the building beautiful, because that's all you could afford, right?   Eric Kronberg: Yep, yep.   Eve Picker: I like that authenticity in the projects. They don't feel like buildings that are covered in layers of granite and finishes that just speak to wealth. I think they feel like places for everyday people. That's very nice.   Eric Kronberg: Yeah, and part of that, where it kind of ... I went to Tulane, in New Orleans, so I had five years at school to learn a few things in between barhopping but have gone back and worked there a ton since. One of things that really hit home is that there's beauty in patina, and sometimes just elegant decay is amazing. You can't top it; just letting things be what they are. That's often just enough.   Eric Kronberg: Sometimes, it's a matter of convincing our clients to just ... "That brick wall - don't even worry about it. It's fine. It's good. It does what it needs to do. Don't waste your money here. Let's spend a little bit of money over there. Just let the building be what it's going to be and be comfortable with that." Sometimes it's just don't do stupid things and just kind of be confident that it is going to be okay with simplicity. Don't gussy it up or fuss too much about some of the stuff.   Eric Kronberg: If more architects had a little bit more restraint in those areas, that'd be great, but part of why we can have that approach or take that approach is we're looking at a really holistic approach to redevelopment. For us, it's a win, if we take an old building, get it back into productive use. We're not measuring our success from a project by how fancy we made the building. It's really kind of what did we start with, from a heap of junk to getting it productive and functioning, and that's enough for us.   Eric Kronberg: Our metric of success is directly in line with our clients, and it's not often in competition with our clients, as a lot of architects tend to be, by seeing how much fee they can extract and construction costs to make the building as spectacular as possible at the client's expense. That's another component of why we get hard to do what we do and makes things better.   Eve Picker: You make architects sound bad.   Eric Kronberg: They're not my favorite.   Eve Picker: You and I know that architects take many, many directions, just like in any other profession. What led you down the path of this conscious urban placemaking?   Eric Kronberg: All of us here at our office have a desire to do and get things done. We want to effect change. We want to make places better. We know that means that either laws have to change, buildings need to get renovated - things need to happen. Part of what gets us up in the morning is getting buildings put back into service. That matters a lot. We are a young firm with a young staff. Understanding that, as a priority, provides a lot of flexibility and freedom in how we approach problems.   Eric Kronberg: The other component of it is I do my own development. I teach development, training for Incremental Development Alliance. We also teach our staff, so they can understand the decision-making process, the developer clients, and the tradeoffs involved of where to emphasize and spend money, so that they can better respond with great solutions to making buildings better. So much of this, it gets back to not just putting yourself in the client's shoes, but understanding how pro forma works, and the returns, and where cash flow is going to come, and financing. The more folks understand about that process, the better we can help people do better things.   Eve Picker: Clearly, there's a lot of real estate that happens that isn't triple bottom line. How necessary do you think socially responsible real estate is in today's development landscape?   Eric Kronberg: Again, taking a sort of- I don't want to say cynical approach to this, but here's what we see, big picture - everybody is trying to move back into cities. There's a huge demand for interesting places with $2 coffee, tacos, and donuts; ideally with transit nearby and jobs close. Those are really important things to a lot of people.   Eric Kronberg: Construction costs are just too high, right now. We don't have the labor, tariffs, everything else. It's too expensive to build. What we explain to folks is you need to find sites where the infrastructure is in place, where the street trees, the curbs, the on-street parking, and all this stuff exists. That typically means in existing towns, and most of these towns have crappy zoning. If you're going to come in and do good stuff, you're going to have to get approvals from the townsfolk to do good stuff.   Eric Kronberg: The more triple bottom line development you do, the more of a reputation you can develop for doing good projects, the easier it is to gain trust with folks in these places because they know you're a credible designer or broker of making things happen. We tackle each project ... We've got 30 or 40 more years to go of doing stuff, and we're not going to burn a bridge with a community over a project, so it's our job to find the right clients, to find the right places, and make good things happen. All this to say that if you're not taking some kind of triple bottom line approach, your ability to effect change may be kind of short-lived.   Eve Picker: Interesting point of view. I'm going to just change track a little bit. I'm going to ask you if there are any current trends in real estate development that interest you a lot or that you think are really important for the future of our cities?   Eric Kronberg: The current drumbeat will beat some more with missing middle housing, that's definitely the hot buzzword, and it's well-deserved, and it's also critically needed. For folks that may not have heard this before, and I think, hopefully, a lot of people have, it's looking at more housing choice that you might ... Instead of the house you might build on a typical single-family lot, it's everything from a house with a guest cottage, or ADU behind, to a duplex, up to a 20-unit cottage-court development, or a 40-unit smaller three-story apartment building.   Eric Kronberg: What we continue to talk about with zoning change and development is that cities like  Atlanta, and Portland, and otherwise have anywhere between 65 to 85 percent of their land in their city constrained to single-family zoning. You can't have a great city with that kind of land-use pattern. It just doesn't work. You can't have enough density for it to support small business, to support transit. You're going to be a sprawled-out, car-based society. So many people want something else.   Eric Kronberg: We've got to change our land-use laws to allow more things to happen on these lots. It needs to be contextual. It needs to be well-designed. Atlanta just took a step in this direction by creating a new zoning designation that will allow for up to 12 units on a standard single-family lot. Now, you have to up-zone, or rezone your property to have that, which means you've got to convince the neighbors that this is a good idea. That is not an easy prospect in the best of days. Even having a category is a huge start, because Atlanta's never had a zoning category that's functional for small-scale multifamily infill. If you don't even have a zoning category to allow whatever, it makes it really hard to deliver anywhere in our city.   Eve Picker: Do you think it's right that it's up to the developer to convince neighbors?   Eric Kronberg: No, I think ... We've been talking a lot this week about this, because we're working on several projects and rezonings. Ultimately, my common, and Atlanta's process, which is a normal process, is if we want better housing, and better zoning like this, we've got to take the voting away from the city council members. I say that because city council members, by and large, understand the high-level needs that we need to do to change our city from a housing perspective. They also know that if they're on record voting for some of this stuff, they're going to get voted out.   Eric Kronberg: How do you give them political cover for large-scale, broad policy things, and then let staff provide a set criteria to allow these things to happen without putting council members on the hook? An example of this that we're talking about, internally, is if you have a lot that is in close proximity to a heavy-rail transit station that you're not going to take out any mature top-quality trees; that you're willing to provide a little bit of workforce housing in; that you're not going to do more than the parking minimums ... If you can check those key boxes, we would like to see a path to an automatic administrative up-zone that doesn't take city council blessing.   Eve Picker: Right.   Eric Kronberg: I think it's that kind of reorganization of the entitlement process that is going to be critical, or you take an approach like Minneapolis and up-zone the whole city and just roll with that, which is also another great way to do it.   Eve Picker: It's kind of like a checklist for good. If you do a whole bunch of things, you get something extra and [cross talk] don't do them, you don't get that extra thing.   Eric Kronberg: Absolutely.   Eve Picker: That's interesting. In Melbourne, Australia, which I visit a lot, I've been watching for years how they're really focused their zoning changes on transit corridors, because it's a really sprawly city, and also a very expensive one. They took the existing transit corridors and changed the density rules on those corridors to allow for much bigger projects. In other words, using the existing infrastructure in much the way you're talking about, but at a much bigger scale. It's been really interesting to watch.   Eric Kronberg: I'm trying to find it as we're talking ... There were some architects turned developers from Melbourne that we- they had a great TED Talk down there, where they were doing some of their own development that was just amazing. TED Talk was phenomenal. It was Jeremy McLeod-   Eve Picker: Oh, yes. Yes, I know Jeremy really well, and I hope to be interviewing him. His work is phenomenal; absolutely phenomenal. He's [cross talk]   Eric Kronberg: We were super-impressed with how they really kind of took ownership of the entire process and really rethought everything, top to bottom. That was a [cross talk]   Eve Picker: -Jeremy is my architect on a little project I'm doing in Australia. What's fascinating about that is there is an architect in the- a private architect who spun off a non-profit and is developing his own affordable housing policy in a country that really didn't have any. It's really stunning, and the architecture is astounding.   Eric Kronberg: Yeah, it looked really, really cool.   Eve Picker: Yeah. Yes, Jeremy is an interesting guy. So, that's fascinating.   Eric Kronberg: Well, we're fans, so, you can let him know that we think the work he's doing is wonderful.   Eve Picker: It's a very small world, isn't it?   Eric Kronberg: Yeah.   Eve Picker: Then, I suppose my big question is what's next for you?   Eric Kronberg: What's interesting ... We were asking that question ourselves, internally, and branding, and marketing folks, and everything else. One of the things that we are really working through now is understanding how to impact the most change. That's something that we ask ourselves every day here and understanding that doing individual architectural projects are really important, and we're committed to that. But also, when you have entire states that have state-level challenges and the cities within them, there's a lot of places to effect change.   Eric Kronberg: I think one of our special skill sets is that we can kind of swim between these different levels of three feet from the ground to 30,000 feet and understand the nuts and bolts of both of those. We're kind of getting our heads around how we help rethink, at both municipal and state levels, the kinds of policies and regulations to make better places.   Eric Kronberg: We had a really interesting discussion with some great folks in Michigan, where, even if you get the policies right, there's a lot of communities - this is true for Georgia, and Maine, and all across the board - where there's just not that much going on. In Michigan, we're talking specifically about really trying to reset expectations for folks that work for the local land bank; that the expectation is no longer that you just sit on property, and hold it, and try to sell it someday, but that you need to become a small developer as a land bank; start to think about incrementally renovating or redeveloping the land you have, because nobody else is coming to save you.   Eric Kronberg: We're also interested in helping places self-heal with the resources they have. Again, Michigan's problems are Ohio's problems are West Virginia's problems are Virginia's [cross talk] easy for me to speak about the Eastern Seaboard, or the East side of America, just cause I'm more familiar with that. But I know the whole Western half of the country has its own set of challenges, as well, that tend to be relatively similar.   Eve Picker: Yeah, that's true. The really big question is where do you think the future of real estate impact investing lies?   Eric Kronberg: I've made a note to make sure I get a plug in for this, but we were chatting before this interview started that all these really important incremental infill projects are really hard to finance. They tend to be ... Banks are not fans of them. They're a little bit more obscure, or they're not vanilla, and they're kind of scary to bankers who like things beige or tan, like their two favorite colors. Anything else is kind of weird.   Eric Kronberg: One of the things we spend a lot of time on is in the sphere of accessory dwelling units. Just for an example, to recognize how hard it is to finance those kinds of buildings and also how well they cash flow in most cities. Here's the thing that can either print money, if you rent it at market rate, or still be very reasonably profitable, if you run at workforce housing or affordable rate, but getting a loan to build those are so hard [cross talk]   Eve Picker: Oh, it's very difficult, yeah [cross talk] You have to be kind of cookie-cutter to get a loan. I hope no bankers are listening, but I really believe that the banking system, for whatever reason, is squashing the innovation out of our cities.   Eric Kronberg: They really are. It's probably unintentional between-   Eve Picker: Yeah.   Eric Kronberg: All it takes is a little bit of federal regulation and then some interpretation of that to scare bankers into doing nothing ever again, except sell the simplest of loans they possibly can. Financing these smaller-scale projects matters a ton. In terms of impact investing, when you want to talk about inclusive redevelopment, impact investing, this, almost by its very nature ... The best stuff is going to be the smaller scale. Taking that corner, or blighted building and getting it fixed up. Taking an old duplex and renovating it, living in half, and building a cottage behind.   Eric Kronberg: These are the kinds of incremental changes that are really powerful for neighborhoods that allow for gradual redevelopment, which can minimize displacement in that process. These are also projects that may not need as much capital to get done, but it sure needs some capital. These are not $10 million projects, but maybe $100,000 to $200,000, or $500,000 projects. So, impact investing, and crowdfunding, these are important opportunities, where are these new opportunities, like Small Change, can really have an impact.   Eric Kronberg: We generally see, in America, that we're massively over-retailed, in terms of square footage, and we're massively under-housed, in terms of square footage of the kind of housing we need in the kind of places we need it. We don't have good loan products for those types of housing. If you want to zoom in, or hone in on where is the lowest-hanging fruit and the greatest need, it's going to be small-scale residential infill.   Eve Picker: I think that's probably right. Well, this has been really fascinating. I have three sign up questions I'm going to ask you. Okay. What's the key factor that makes a real estate project impactful to you?   Eric Kronberg: Are we doing something good with a property, which is broad-based? Are we saving some cool buildings or even moderately crappy old buildings that could be cool when we're done with them? Are the uses, when we're done, going to add amenity to the neighborhood? And is it something we're going to be proud of, or, sometimes, it's not embarrassed about, but usually proud of? If we can feel pretty good about those things, that's an easy win. But we're also relatively malleable in what we feel proud about.   Eve Picker: Yes. We talked about crowdfunding- that it can benefit impact real estate developers with these small projects that most banks don't want to touch. Are there are other ways that involving a crowd of people might be of benefit to projects like this?   Eric Kronberg: One of the things we've talked about - and I'm stealing this idea from Monty Anderson - and this is more for the foundations, but this is another interesting way things can happen is called a tri-party loan agreement. Another way to think about it, in your realm would be low-cost mezzanine debt, where essentially a lot of projects we see, you may have a small developer with a lot of hustle and skill, but he can only wrangle together $30,000 or $40,000 of equity, and he may need $80,000 or $100,000 of equity to make a bank happy for traditional funding. We talk about looking at zero percent, or low interest percent loans that could help bridge that equity gap to help leverage conventional financing.   The reason I really like that is the lower-return money can really help unlock more lending to get more funding into projects. Other ways of kind of that bridge lending to leverage better good, as opposed to having to carry the whole lift from a crowdfunded source. If $30,000 of bridge loan can help unlock another $300,000 to $400,000, there's just more good that can be done that way.   Eve Picker: Yeah. Where do you get that? That's the question.   Eric Kronberg: Yeah. Any foundations listening to this podcast, we're talking to you.   Eve Picker: Yes! I think the big question is if there's one thing that you would change to make a real estate development better in the US, what would that be?   Eric Kronberg: Less white men doing it.   Eve Picker: That's very, very apt, yep.   Eric Kronberg: I say that as a white man, too, just to clarify to your listeners of your podcast.   Eve Picker: What makes you say that? I don't know if you noticed, but Jeremy- Jeremy's team, his architecture team, is almost completely female.   Eric Kronberg: Got it, yeah. We're about 50-percent female, and 50-percent male. Actually, I think we're at five women and four men, at this point, so we're outnumbered, which makes for a better, more thoughtful practice, to say the least. I think the more diverse you can be, the more inclusive you can be, the better the perspectives you can do. I also think that, on a range of levels, white men, like myself, tend to automatically assume we know the answer. That's always kind of a weakness, to grossly generalize across broad spectrums of folks.   Eric Kronberg: Also, when you're working in distressed communities, the more the design team, the development team can have a diverse group of people working on it, particularly folks that are of and like the community, the easier it is to connect and gain trust, and also to listen, and discuss, and find better solutions. That's not to say that a white guy can't come into an African-American neighborhood, and listen, and be thoughtful, and help, but the conversations can be a lot easier, faster, and trust can be built sooner, when it's a more inclusive group on all sides of the table.   Eve Picker: I think that makes absolute sense. This has been really delightful. I've enjoyed talking to you. I hope we'll will meet soon. Thank you, Eric.   Eric Kronberg: Eve, thanks so much for having me. It was my pleasure.   Eve Picker: That was Eric Kronberg. I thoroughly enjoyed our conversation. Here are just a few great takeaways that I'd like to remember. First, Eric wants to demonize single-family zoning everywhere. It's a zoning type that doesn't produce enough in taxes to cover the infrastructure costs, and only 20 percent of households are mom, dad and the kids looking for a house to live in. Second, don't be too quick to pull down an old building. Elegant decay can be valuable. Third, when you're developing affordable housing, or on a budget, you need to find sites that have infrastructure, such as sidewalks, in place.   Eve Picker: You can find out more about impact real estate investing and access the Show Notes for today's episode at my website, EvePicker.com.

Thank you so much for spending your time with me today, and thank you, Eric, for sharing your thoughts with me.

In today's show, we're going to flip the tables and take a completely different angle as we interview Passive Real Estate Investor, Jeremy Roll. You see, we usually have owners on the show who are active operators and which a good portion of them get their funding from silent or passive investors to fund their acquisitions. Well, Jeremy is one of those passive investors and has built quite the empire in strictly a passive role and he's here to tell you all about it A little bit about Jeremy: Jeremy has been an active real estate and business investor for over 13 years who left the corporate world in 2007 to become a full-time passive cash flow investor. He is currently an investor in more than 50 opportunities across almost $400 Million worth of real estate and business assets. As President of Roll Investment Group, Jeremy manages a group of over 850 investors in the US and Canada who seek passive/managed investments in real estate and businesses. Jeremy co-Founded public investor meetings under the name FIBI (For Investors By Investors) in 2007 with the goal of networking with, learning from, and helping other investors. FIBI is now the largest group of public investor meetings in Southern California, with over 15 monthly chapters and over 13,000 members. Jeremy is originally from Montreal, is a licensed California Real Estate Broker (for investing purposes only), has an MBA from The Wharton School, and is an Advisor for Realty Mogul, the largest online crowdfunding marketplace for real estate investors to invest in managed real estate opportunities. Jeremy has a diverse investor and fundraising network for real estate and business opportunities and has a large network of real estate and business contacts. In this interview with Jeremy you’re going to learn:            §  What it means to be a passive investor §  The types of returns Jeremy expects through his passive investments §  The process of performing due diligence on a passive opportunity §  The steps he takes to qualify the sponsor of investment opportunity §  Why he likes to diversify into multiple different asset classes §  The typical timeframe you can expect to have your capital tied up §  The responsibilities of a passive investor §  Jeremy's outlook for the next 5 years and why he's seeking out longer term investments   §  And much more…
