(15:16) Strategic Use of Caffeine: Caffeine can help you power through the day. Choose what works for you (coffee, soda, etc.) to stay alert when needed. (16:20) Sleep Smart on the Plane: Align your in-flight sleep with your destination's local time. Use sleep aids if necessary—but never try new medications for the first time mid-flight.

Jason Binks with Equity Real Estate discusses what type of home to look for if you are in the business of flipping, his experience growing up in a family that flipped homes, and how to get into flipping houses if you’re a beginner. Flipping a home is purchasing a house that often needs a bunch of work, doing the work, making just the right amount of updates, and selling the family for a profit. You can live in the home while fixing it up, but Jason prefers to live in his own home. Flipping a Home is Not for Everyone “There’s a lot of risks and research to make sure you get the right home. If you get the wrong home, it’s not going to turn out well.” If you pay too much and have other issues that you haven’t planned for, you can easily be upside down on a home. What You Need to Jump Into the House Flipping Business Jason recommends that you start with a large sum of money - whether it's your money or borrowed money, have a partner with real estate knowledge, and understand the market's value. Acquire a trustworthy title company, such as Title One, a good team of handymen for your work, and be flexible. A good line of credit and a good credit score are essential for the success of acquiring a new home on the market quickly before it hits the MLS listing. The post Jason Binks | The Truth About Flipping Homes appeared first on Utah Real Estate Podcast.

Noah Charney is an international best-selling author and professor of art history. He was born in Connecticut and studied in America whilst travelling on exchange trips to Europe. In London he studied at the Courtauld Institute and received a Masters for his work on seventeenth century sculpture in Rome. Later at St. John's College Cambridge he received a second Masters in the History of Art. In 2012, in Slovenia he was persuaded to write a thesis on the work of the Slovenian architect Jože Plečnik for which he received a PhD in Art History from the University of Ljubljana. From his research of art has also come an interest in art theft and in 2007 Noah published his first novel, "The Art Thief". Much travelled for both work and pleasure, he says they are both the same thing, he has settled in Kamnik with his Slovene wife and their two children. This conversation touches on all this as well as his love of music and many years of being part of the punk band, "The Jump Into".
Experiencing my grandmother's death has brought me to honor her in a very big way - in honoring her worth to me, and her worth to all those sharing a piece of her story, I must honor my own worth -- and this has brought me new levels of abundance and self-love. In this episode, I share my grandmother's story, and mine with her, explore some recent thoughts on death, and how I am integrating the wisdom I am gaining from her life. I jump into shadow work and how we can use loss to bring us to more wholeness, and we can use our imagination to empower us now. I share three ways in which one can explore death to breathe in life and to know oneself more deeply. To ignore death is to ignore life. So here's to embracing it to bring more and to know more of ourselves. Links, Article, and Resources All Show Notes for This Episode
