Pricing a federal services proposal correctly comes down to one document most new contractors never open, and in this clip, DOD contracting consultant Ryan Atencio walks through the mistake he made pricing his own proposal, and the fix. Atencio, a 12-year Army special operations veteran and former DOD contracting officer representative, explains what the Service Contract Act wage determination is, why he priced a Puerto Rico exercise-support proposal nearly $20,000 too high, and the exact percentage he now adds to get a competitive but profitable number. Key points discussed: - The Service Contract Act attaches a wage determination document to many federal solicitations, setting the legal minimum pay for each labor category by location - Atencio priced a DOD exercise-support proposal at $86,000 before referencing the wage determination, and brought it down to roughly $67,000 after - A level three helicopter mechanic in Puerto Rico has a legal minimum wage of about $27 an hour, far below what most contractors would assume - Atencio's rule of thumb: take the wage determination minimum and add roughly 35 percent to land on a fair and reasonable price - If a subcontractor quote comes in well above that adjusted number, it is a signal to negotiate or get a second quote - Never disqualify yourself from a small or short-notice opportunity, since low competition on these bids means an easy proposal can still win CHAPTERS 0:00 - Why every business should bid on every opportunity in scope 1:45 - The $86,000 proposal that was priced too high 3:30 - What the Service Contract Act wage determination actually is 5:15 - A helicopter mechanic's legal minimum wage in Puerto Rico 6:45 - The 35 percent rule for pricing off the wage determination 8:00 - Using the wage floor to catch an inflated subcontractor quote Mindy gives you the federal opportunities, agency signals, recompete intel, and pursuit briefs that tell you not just what contracts exist, but which ones to chase and how to win them.

Bass virtuoso, DJ, and producer Blu DeTiger joins Dr. Clara Latham, music scholar at The New School, for a conversation about groove, gender, and the work behind making music look effortless. Taking Blu's “SHOCK!” as a starting point, we explore her fluency in disco and funk, the coordination involved in DJing while playing bass, and the blurry line between music as work and music as play. Along the way, we consider why labor-saving technologies sometimes create more work, what makes a turntable an instrument rather than an appliance, and how women musicians challenge expectations about skill, sexuality, and who gets taken seriously.

Blxst joins the R&B Money Podcast to talk about his journey from South Central Los Angeles to becoming one of the defining voices of a new generation of West Coast R&B—and the personal evolution behind his new album, Labor of Love. Blxst takes us back to the early grind: teaching himself to produce, developing his sound, building independently, and creating the music that eventually led to No Love Lost and the Platinum-certified “Chosen.” Now, he's returning to his roots with Labor of Love—his first full-length album in two years and one of his most personal projects yet. The 13-track album is entirely written and produced by Blxst, with appearances from Sasha Keable, Cheyenne Wright, Big Sad 1900, and Love Rich TT.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Responsible growth requires more than opening new locations, increasing revenue, or expanding into new markets. Growth has to strengthen the business, not simply make it bigger. That distinction becomes increasingly important as a company moves beyond its original founders and locations. What worked when the business was small may become too expensive, too complicated, or simply ineffective at scale. Leaders have to recognize those changes early enough to adapt without abandoning the qualities that made the company successful. Don Varady, CEO and Co-Founder of Clean Eatz, understands that evolution firsthand. What began as a small healthy-food café eventually developed into a franchise organization with more than 120 locations. The path was anything but perfectly mapped out. It involved starting over, taking significant risks, entering franchising without years of industry experience, making mistakes, changing the model, and becoming increasingly disciplined about how the company grows. That experience points to an important reality for any entrepreneur: responsible growth is not about having every answer before you begin. It is about building the ability to make better decisions as the business becomes more complex. Build the Business Around What Customers Value Clean Eatz did not begin with a master plan to create a national franchise system. Don and his wife and co-founder, Yvonne, were initially focused on building a healthy-food concept that served their local community. As the business developed, they found additional ways to serve customers. Today, the Clean Eatz model includes dine-in and carryout business, third-party delivery, rotating weekly meal plans, grab-and-go meals, catering, and marketplace products. A sister company also provides shipped meals and serves additional accounts outside traditional franchise territories. Those revenue streams matter, but the larger business principle is even more valuable. Growth can come from understanding what customers already value and finding additional ways to provide it. The grab-and-go component is a good example. It originated as a practical solution for excess food. Instead of allowing usable ingredients to go to waste, meals were prepared and frozen. Over time, that simple operational solution became another revenue stream and an important source of variety and convenience for customers. Responsible growth often develops this way. Leaders pay attention to what is happening inside the business, identify opportunities that fit the customer, and turn successful ideas into repeatable parts of the model. The key is alignment. Adding revenue streams simply because they might produce additional sales can create unnecessary complexity. The strongest opportunities reinforce the value the company already provides. Be Willing to Change What Used to Work One of the more difficult responsibilities of leadership is recognizing when yesterday's successful model no longer fits today's business environment. Clean Eatz faced that challenge with its restaurant prototype. Don explained that a model the company had used successfully for years eventually became less attractive as construction costs increased and real estate became more expensive. Rather than continuing to force the existing approach, the company began moving toward a tighter, smaller footprint that could reduce equipment and development costs for franchisees. That is responsible growth in practice. A strategy does not have to be a failure before it deserves to be reconsidered. Economic conditions change. Customer expectations change. Technology changes. Labor markets change. Real estate changes. What produced strong results five years ago may create unnecessary friction today. Leaders can become emotionally attached to systems they created, particularly when those systems were once successful. But scaling requires separating the principle behind the business from the specific way it has always been executed. The goal is not to protect the old model. The goal is to protect the business. For Clean Eatz, that means continuing to evaluate how locations are developed and how franchisees are positioned for success. Don also emphasized the importance of site selection before a franchisee signs on the dotted line, along with using newer tools, including AI, to improve vetting and decision-making. Technology can make those decisions more informed, but the objective remains fundamentally human: put the right people into better situations where they have a stronger opportunity to succeed. Growth Depends on the Right People As organizations grow, leadership decisions become increasingly important because the founder can no longer personally execute every part of the business. Don acknowledged that choosing the right people around him has produced some significant lessons. Some hires worked extremely well. Others did not. Over time, those experiences helped clarify what to look for and what to avoid when building the team. This challenge is especially important in franchising. A growing franchise brand may be tempted to view every qualified candidate as another opportunity for expansion. But adding locations without properly evaluating the people responsible for operating them can create problems that affect the entire system. Ford pointed out during the interview that strong franchise organizations often think about awarding franchises rather than simply selling them. The distinction matters because the relationship should involve mutual evaluation. The franchisor needs to determine whether the candidate has the characteristics, commitment, resources, and willingness to follow the system required to succeed. Don's experience has made responsible franchisee vetting an increasingly important part of Clean Eatz's growth strategy. After years of seeing what works and making mistakes along the way, the company now has more experience and better tools available to evaluate prospective franchisees and potential locations. More growth is not automatically better growth. The wrong hire, franchisee, location, or expansion decision can consume resources that could have been invested in stronger opportunities. Responsible growth requires leaders to become increasingly selective as the stakes get higher. Keep Adapting Without Losing the Foundation There is a natural tension in a growing company. The organization needs consistency, but it also needs the ability to change. Too much change can make a business difficult to replicate. Too little change can leave it operating with systems and assumptions that no longer make sense. Clean Eatz's journey demonstrates how those two priorities can coexist. The company has evolved its restaurant model, developed multiple revenue streams, expanded its franchise system, and built a second business around meal distribution. At the same time, the underlying focus on healthy food, convenience, customer experience, and the fitness and wellness community has remained central to the brand. That balance is essential to responsible growth. Leaders need to understand which parts of the business are foundational and which are simply methods of delivering the result. Methods should evolve when better options become available. The foundation should remain clear enough that customers, employees, and partners still understand what the company stands for. The same principle applies to leadership itself. Experience should make leaders more confident, but it should also make them more aware of how much can go wrong. Don's advice to other entrepreneurs reflects that experience: "Trust your gut." He explained that mistakes will happen, but experience develops instincts that leaders should not ignore. Instinct should not replace information, due diligence, or accountability. It can, however, become an important signal when years of experience are telling a leader that something does not fit. Responsible growth combines both. Use better information. Build stronger systems. Ask harder questions. Surround yourself with capable people. Then be willing to act when experience tells you something needs to change.

This episode shares practical labor relaxation tips to help the pelvic floor soften so baby can navigate more easily, especially when contractions make it hard to drop into the parasympathetic “rest and digest” mode. It covers the jaw–pelvic floor connection (via fascia and the nervous system), using a soft jaw/open mouth, deep low vocalizations (instead of high “eee” tension), “horsey lips” and pursed-lip breathing, and a simple head-to-toe relaxation sequence partners can cue. It also highlights breathing options (box breathing or long exhales), comfort techniques that break the fear–tension–pain cycle (jiggling/massage, hip circles/shifts, hydrotherapy), and notes an epidural can sometimes help if tension won't release. Finally, it explains why the toilet can be the “dilation station”—unless it makes contractions too intense to cope.00:00 Pelvic Floor Relaxation01:22 Four Key Tips02:10 Jaw Pelvic Floor Link03:48 Vocal Sounds Practice05:41 Relaxation Sequence09:00 Breathing For Softening10:45 Fear Tension Pain Cycle11:46 Jiggling Massage Movement14:23 Hydrotherapy And Epidural16:17 Toilet Dilation Station19:03 Final Recap And Outro————

Good afternoon, I'm _ with today's episode of EZ News. Tai-Ex opening  The Tai-Ex opened up 135-points this morning from yesterday's close, at 47,767 on turnover of 10.4-billion N-T. The market lost ground on Tuesday as investors reacted to speculation (推測) that rising US Treasury yields (美國公債殖利率) and international crude oil prices could push America's central bank to hike interest rates as it seeks to battle inflation. Koo says America is showing "goodwill" over the late delivery of F-16Vs Defense Minister Wellington Koo says the United States is "showing goodwill (善意)" over the late delivery of F-16V Block 70 fighter jets and two sides are still in talks over the matter. The statement comes after the first two of the 66 F-16Vs Taiwan purchased departed from the U-S on August 17 and reportedly remain in Hawaii. According to Koo, the contract for the fighter jets did not include financial penalties (罰款) for late delivery - meaning Taiwan will not receive financial compensation (賠償). The Air Force spent 247.2-billion N-T between 2020 and 2026 to procure 66 new F-16V Block 70 jets from the U-S. The jets were originally scheduled to all be delivered to Taiwan by the end of this year. MOL to extend paid marriage leave to 14 days The Ministry of Labor will be extending paid marriage leave (有薪婚假) from eight to 14 days from tomorrow. According to the ministry's Department of Labor Standards and Equal Employment, the change was proposed through amendments to the Regulations of Leave-Taking of Workers and is has undergone a seven-day public notice period. The department says for the additional days - from the ninth to the 14th day employers are still required by law to pay wages (工資), and after making those payments, the employers can apply to the government for subsidies. The expanded leave will apply equally to Taiwanese and foreign nationals as long as they are covered by the Labor Standards Act. However, migrant domestic helpers and live-in caregivers are not be eligible because they are not covered by the Act. NKorea Rejects SKorean Findings on Mine Planting The sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has rejected South Korean findings that North Korea likely planted the land mines (地雷) that injured three South Korean soldiers last week. She threatened to retaliate if the South fires at North Korean troops conducting border fortification work. The statement by Kim Yo Jong came after South Korea's military on Monday announced a preliminary assessment that the blasts were caused by North Korean mines following a joint inspection with the U.S.-led United Nations Command. South Korean Defense Minister told lawmakers Tuesday that North Korea's placement of the mines likely violated the armistice agreement (停戰協定) that ended fighting in the 1950-53 Korean War. DRC ebola cases surpass 8,000 The number of confirmed Ebola cases in the Democratic Republic of Congo has surpassed (超過) eight thousand for the first time, with nearly four thousand deaths recorded — almost half of them outside health facilities. Chris Ocamringa in Kinshasa says the Health Ministry's latest assessment shows the outbreak has reached seven provinces, with three of the worst-affected areas also engulfed by the war between M23 rebels (叛軍) and government forces. C*OUTRO That was the I.C.R.T. EZ News, I'm _. -- Hosting provided by SoundOn

In the summer of 1928, Al Capone was back in Chicago and was still building his empire. Things like gambling, prostitution, and, of course, liquor, were still making up the bulk of his profits – but he knew that wasn't going to last forever. He knew that he needed to diversify, a lesson he learned from John Torrio, who knew that Prohibition would only last for so long. Capone's most profitable alternative to liquor was racketeering. A racketeer was defined as the boss of a supposedly legitimate business operation. Labor unions were the most common operations. Using violence and intimidation, he organized the union or pushed a group of businessmen into a “protective association.” A worker or merchant who didn't join or refused to stay in the union and pay tribute was bombed, beaten, or intimidated into changing his mind. He was making a fortune that way -- but he had problems, too. Even as the millions continued to roll in, he found the problems hampering his business over and over again. The North Side Gang, now led by George Moran, was just as relentless as it had been under the leadership of O'Banion, Weiss, and Drucci. It was time to take care of that problem once and for all and on February 14, 1929 -- a deadly plan was hatched.

Today “Luddite” is used as a derogatory term for someone who doesn’t understand technology. But the original Luddites weren’t behind. They were technical workers who were concerned about the impact that technology would have on people. This hour, we look at the history of Luddites, how their philosophy applies today, and ask what our present would look like if they had won. Could we all gain something from thinking more like a Luddite? GUESTS: Miriam A.

Author and journalist Garrison Lovely joins Nathan to discuss his book Obsolete and examine the motivations and beliefs of the leaders racing to build AGI. Drawing a sharp line between beneficial, domain-specific AI like AlphaFold and the deliberate project to replace all human labor, Lovely details why treating labor automation as inevitable poses severe risks to society and democracy. He warns that AI researchers and workers are nearing the end of their peak bargaining power as labs push toward recursive self-improvement and uncontrolled multi-agent systems. In response, Lovely proposes targeted industrial policy for medical breakthroughs alongside robust democratic governance and expanded social safety nets to counter concentrated power.

Today on Black Dragon Biker TV:Canberra / ACT. Chief Police Officer Scott Lee is publicly backing anti-consorting laws — the kind already used in most of Australia that let cops ban named people from associating. He says five outlaw motorcycle clubs are in the ACT now, about 45 members and 20 associates. Labor governments have blocked these laws as a clash with the Human Rights Act. Lee's pitch: disrupt public gatherings and national runs. Not a magic wand. Also on the table: colour/patch bans and warrantless firearm searches.

Farbedelsteine als Sachwert und Investment. „Die Anleger sind in diesen Zeiten sehr stark auf der Suche nach Sicherheit. Sie suchen nach Werten, die unvergänglich sind, die sich nicht einfach replizieren lassen in einem Labor“, sagt Chris Pampel. Der Geschäftsführer des Deutschen Edelstein Kontors erklärt, warum Farbedelsteine aus seiner Sicht als natürliche, seltene Werte interessant sind und warum Transparenz bei Herkunft und Wertschöpfungskette eine wichtige Rolle spielt. Pampel berichtet von seinen Reisen in die Herkunftsländer der Edelsteine – unter anderem nach Sri Lanka und Mosambik: „Wir suchen natürlich direkt den Weg zu den Minen, zu den Herkunftsstädten der wichtigsten Edelsteine.“ Dabei geht es auch um Arbeitsbedingungen, ESG-Standards und die Nachvollziehbarkeit der Herkunft. Doch ab wann wird ein Edelstein zum Investment? Beim Rubin findet Pampel klare Worte: „Ein Rubin für 5.000 Euro ist alles, aber kein Investment, egal was man Ihnen erzählt.“ Für Rubine sieht er den Einstieg in die Investmentqualität ungefähr ab einem Karat und 20.000 Euro, bei Saphiren und Smaragden ab etwa 12.000 Euro. Besonders eindrucksvoll: „Den teuersten Stein, den wir bisher gehandelt haben, hat einen Wert von 1,5 Millionen gehabt.“ Es war ein siebenkarätiger Rubin – ein Beispiel für die enorme Wertkonzentration auf kleinstem Raum. Welche Dokumente Anleger bei einem Edelstein unbedingt prüfen sollten, was es mit den vier Cs – Carat, Clarity, Color und Cut – auf sich hat und warum Pampel Edelsteine eher als „Familienschatz“ denn als Spekulationsobjekt sieht, erklärt er im Gespräch.

Bain estimates a $100 billion market for software that reduces cross-system labor, the manual work that links multiple applications. The opportunity spans integration platforms, workflow automation, robotic process automation, and AI assistants. Examples in the space include MuleSoft, Workato, Zapier, ServiceNow, UiPath, Automation Anywhere, Salesforce, Slack, and Atlassian. Adjacent data platforms like Snowflake and Databricks centralize analytics but do not execute operational actions, which remain in systems such as SAP, Oracle, Workday, NetSuite, HubSpot, and Zendesk. Buyers prioritize security, governance, auditability, and measurable ROI, with pricing models ranging from per seat to per workflow. Execution risks include brittle integrations and rate limits, pushing vendors to invest in observability, access control, and human-in-the-loop approvals.Learn more on this news by visiting us at: https://greyjournal.net/news/ Hosted on Acast.

This is Get Rich Education.   Keith Weinhold  1:50   Welcome to GRE from Wheeling, West Virginia, to Whiting, Indiana, and across 188 nations worldwide. I'm Keith Weinhold, and you're listening to Get Rich Education. Before I get into basically giving your rental property a raise with the top five ways to increase its income, first let's get the context of pulling back and understanding your compelling why for all of this. You may or may not like investment property itself-it's more likely rather that you love what it does for you. That's how it is for me. What do most people do? It's like they're training for the Grind Olympics. Are you doing this too? But you don't remember signing up? I mean, that's kind of what the day job is, society's vortex gradually pulls you into it. The investment property is what gradually tilts you out of it, or it gives you that option. For so many, the day job, it's sort of like this competition that really no one officially announces it yet. Millions enter it. Who can work the longest hours? Who can answer the most emails? Who can miss the most family dinners? Who can delay their life the longest? And at the end of it all, something we call retirement. If you're a winner, not a loser. The winner, you receive a gold-colored watch, lukewarm sheet cake, and a little party at age 65, and that's assuming that the finish line hasn't been moved to 70.   Keith Weinhold  3:40   This is especially bad and prevalent in the United States, where you start out with just two weeks vacation. That's about the worst grind in the developed world. I really myself started questioning this lifestyle when I was a teenager, and this is because my older friends, sort of those that were getting into their late teens, they were relatable to me, and they started going down this path and telling me about it. And suddenly, they couldn't play baseball or tennis with me during the day because they started working during their summers. Now that's not so bad in itself, but stay with me. I also looked at the adults around me and noticed that most traded the majority of their waking hours for work that they didn't even like. Now, my dad was a good worker. He worked 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. faithfully Monday to Friday, and despite being a good worker, he certainly didn't love his job. As a teen, then I found it confounding that so many people were working Monday through Friday, primarily why, primarily to reach the weekend. Wednesday was celebrated as. Day, this sort of strange admission that the work week was something to climb over and survive. You're surrendering 50 weeks to earn two weeks of vacation. You're repeating that very bargain for 40 years and hoping you still have enough money, energy, and health to enjoy retirement. And what puzzled me most was where this was happening. We are not some impoverished nation with paltry resources and limited opportunity. This is the United States, the most powerful and perhaps the most prosperous nation in the world.   Keith Weinhold  5:40   This is the part that I still can't work out in my head. Almost everybody falls into a narrow, rigid groove and grinds. Eventually, the groove becomes a rut. Then the rut gets a job title and a dental plan. Many even form their identity around this. Fear is the number one motivator that gets employees to show up at work. So then, do most people lead fear-based lives? It's almost insane. Sheesh! We have skyscrapers, interstate highways, world-class universities, abundant natural resources, advantageous geography, rule of law. We've got vast capital markets. We've got technology that sent people to the moon before I was born. Endless possibilities, but yet the standard life plan is to spend our most vivacious years doing something that we didn't even want to do. What a paradox! How could a nation create so much wealth while so many people have such little control over their own time? Even then, as a teenager, I remember thinking, "Gosh, there has got to be a better way than this system somehow. I didn't yet know the way, so I started going to college at age 18.   Keith Weinhold  7:16   But this path put me on that same trajectory of get good grades, land a job, max up my 401k, which would reduce my salary, and work for four decades, and then cross my fingers and just somehow hope that promotions, inflation, taxes, a stock market that I couldn't control, and life itself would cooperate. I mean, that plan could kind of work, but your time is still doing most of the work. Your employer rents your time usually one hour at a time, and if you stop supplying the hours, then soon enough your income stops too. Capital compound. labor doesn't. The better path is to gradually separate your income from your time. That's what I began doing when, while I was working full time, I bought my first income-producing rental property a few years later, a few years after college, in fact, doing that on the side, divergent, black sheep. I was stepping out of the groove. Now I own an asset that created leverage and income, whether I'm working, sleeping, camping, climbing a mountain, or spending time with my family. So the goal then it's not to avoid hard work entirely. I mean, meaningful work that can even provide some purpose and achievement and pride. But what provides wealth? What are you going to do for that? Wealth is what happens when you're not working. Wealth is what happens when you're sleeping. Labor produces income. Assets create wealth. Grinding should be a season, even your contribution to society, but not your primarily financial strategy. So the bottom line is that we don't want to win the grind Olympics, income-producing assets help us build a life that we don't have to postpone. The entire conventional life plan, the whole thing, just never felt right to me. Intuitively and rationally, deep down, you know, think to yourself: Doesn't at least some part of you feel that way too? Thank God that I found real estate. I don't love it. I love what it does for me. You've got to love what it does for you.   Keith Weinhold  9:54   One attribute that your income property gives you is control. So. With that in mind, I put together the top five ways to increase your rental property income countdown style from number five to number one. Since you do own an asset that you can control, so we're talking about giving your rental property a raise here, and you know your property does not even need to appreciate in order for you to make it more valuable, your property doesn't need to sit around waiting for the market to appreciate like it's waiting for a promotion from corporate or something, which always takes too long. You can manufacture more income yourself. So net operating income or NOI, it only has two moving parts. It is property income minus operating expenses. Push income up or pull expenses down, and you've effectively given yourself a raise. Better yet, on an income-valued property like a five-plus unit apartment building, every additional dollar of NOI can create far more than $1 of property value. So here are the top five ways to increase your property's income.   Keith Weinhold  11:10   The fifth best way is to add ancillary income, because monthly rent it's not the only asset inside your property. Now, depending on what property type you have and what the local laws are, you can charge for pets, parking, storage, laundry, furnishings. You can charge for internet packages, utility reimbursement, reserved garages, upgraded amenities, or you can even charge in some cases for application, administrative, or lease break fees. The best ancillary income it provides something that the resident genuinely values. We're here to serve and give value to others. Importantly, it should feel like an option for your tenant with these things, not some toll booth placed between the tenant and their front door. We know how annoying it is to have a tip screen swung around and placed in your face. Even an additional 25 or $50 per unit each month that can become meaningful across several properties. The fourth best way is to cut your controllable operating expenses, and you know what most investors do, and it is easy to fall into this, and I certainly have too at times. You know, most investors they carefully negotiate the property's purchase price at the beginning, and then they spend years casually accepting every recurring bill, audit your expenses rather than just accepting last year's cost plus inflation.   Keith Weinhold  12:49   So closely look at your property management fees, landscaping and snow removal, pest control, cleaning, trash service, water consumption, and any leaks that you might have. Common area electricity, repair labor and material markups, service contracts, and preventive maintenance. Gosh, I really lost a lot of money in pest control one time when the pest would just move from one apartment unit to the other, and we just couldn't get it trapped or stopped. Loyalty is admirable in marriage. It is less compelling when your landscaping company raises its price 14% every year. So solicit competing bids, consolidate your vendors where you can, install efficient fixtures where the payback period makes sense and where the break-even math works. But now, don't confuse expense reduction with maintenance neglect.   Keith Weinhold  13:53   That is one danger. So you know, if you delay a $300 repair until it becomes a $3,000 emergency, well, that really doesn't increase your NOI. It merely makes this month's numbers lie. Now, as I tell you about this list, you might think sometimes, "Oh, I've heard of that one before. Okay, but yeah, are you actually doing it? The third best way to increase your property's income is to challenge taxes and shop insurance because property taxes and insurance they are really among your property's largest operating expenses. So therefore, if you get good at this, you can both increase your net income and you will have gained a new skill that you can apply later and elsewhere. Yet you know a lot of owners they treat property tax and insurance sort of like the weather. They complain about them and then they just assume that nothing can be done. Possible moves that you can make are appealing in excessive property tax assessment, correct inaccurate property records. You can compare insurance carriers as often as annually. Adjust your deductibles when it's appropriate. Be sure you remove redundant coverage. Make sure that there's no overlap there. You can add safety or resilience improvements that qualify for insurance discounts, and then at the same time, sometimes that improves your property's value. You can check the property's classification and claims history for any errors there. So you know every legitimate dollar saved that flows directly into your NOI, your net operating income. Remember, mortgage payments though they do not factor into NOI. Neither do major capital expenditures. Refinancing can improve your cash flow, but that does not increase the property's NOI, and that's what we're talking about today. But when it comes to property tax appeals, you remember a while back on the show, perhaps a year ago, I went into detail on just how you can do that.   Keith Weinhold  16:00   Now we're up to number two. The second best way to increase your NOI is to raise rents intelligently, and really this is the most obvious strategy. But it isn't as simple as typing a larger number into your renewal letter and then just sort of hoping that your tenant doesn't notice. Bring rents closer to market without automatically chasing the absolute maximum. That can include gradual increases at renewal, premiums for upgraded units. How about a premium for the unit with the best view? If you have one of those, higher rent for furnished units, appropriate charges for garages or shorter lease terms. I mean, shorter lease terms, like a six month instead of a 12 month, that can get you a bump up in the rent. Be sure to eliminate any unnecessary concessions, like the first month's rent is free. Do you really have to continue to do that? And use better listing photos and copy to support higher rents. It's easy to have AI write some good snappy copy for you today. So the objective here is economic occupancy, not merely the highest advertised rent, because raising the rent $100, if that's going to create an extra month of vacancy that is stepping over dollars to pick up dimes. Know the market, understand the tenant, and make increases that improve NOI rather than merely improving the asking price for the REM. And the top way, the number one way to increase NOI is reduce vacancy and turnover. Yes, you might have heard that before, but it is still the most overlooked NOI lever, even though it's number one. An occupied unit at a sensible rent that often produces more income than an overpriced empty one.   Keith Weinhold  17:58   The way to improve your occupancy is by you starting renewal conversations 60 to 90 days before that lease comes due. Respond quickly to maintenance requests. I mean, few things frustrate a tenant more than a ceiling that is leaked for a month. Pre-market an upcoming vacancy that you have. Start that process early. Complete your turns faster, screen residents carefully, and unless you're in an especially hot market, consider offering renewal incentives when turnover would cost you substantially more than doing that. So there are a bunch of ideas for reducing vacancy and turnover. Another one, more of a modern-day one, is for you to buy and operate new build property because tenants tend to stay in new builds longer. They love that feeling that no one has ever lived there before. Suppose a unit rents for $1,800 a month. All right. Well, then one vacant month costs you $1,800 before cleaning, repairs, utilities, advertising, and leasing expenses. So the true cost of that turnover could easily be three or $4,000. And when you consider that, then giving a good resident a $250 one time renewal incentive that doesn't look generous that looks profitable for you. Keeping a responsible tenant, you know that might be the biggest quote unquote rent increase available. Just simply keeping a responsible tenant because occupied properties produce income, and empty properties produce invoices.   Keith Weinhold  19:48   Now that I've told you about the five ways to increase your property's income, let me give you some more motivation for this. It's about how $250 can become 50. $1,000. Suppose you select just a few of these five improvements, and say that that increases your NOI by just $250 per month. Okay, that's nice. That's cash in your pocket, and if you happen to apply it to a five-plus unit apartment building, since it's also valued on NOI. You take 250 bucks times 12. That is $3,000 a year at a 6% capitalization rate. Take 3000 divided by point 06. That is $50,000. You just created 50k of additional property value from only $250 of monthly NOI creation. Yeah, you are up 50k now, and here's the thing: you did not do anything that substantial. It's not like you added another story to a property, or you discovered oil underneath your parking lot, or you convinced a celebrity to move in. Okay, these are practical things that you can do in control. You simply operated the property better, and this forced appreciation relationship that applies most directly, though, to commercial and larger multifamily properties because those are the types that are valued based upon their income. A single-family rental or a duplex or a fourplex that is generally appraised primarily through comparable sales. So its higher NOI might not immediately produce the same increase in appraised value, but in either case, higher NOI it still means more cash flow for you, a stronger financial cushion, and a better performing investment. The bottom line here is that you can wait for the market to increase your property's value, or you can operate the property better and create value yourself, raise income, control expenses, and keep good residents. That is how you improve NOI without increasing your blood pressure.   Keith Weinhold  22:10   Coming up on the next few shows, we're going to speak with the original co-author of the book Rich Dad Poor Dad. Yes, we had Robert Kiyosaki on here earlier this year, but we're going to talk with the co-author alongside Robert Kiyosaki. A lot of people don't know who that is. That is going to be interesting on another upcoming episode. The man that wrote the book on the 8020 rule called the Pareto principle, he will be here. That's where 80% of the results come from. 20% of the effort. So here on GRE, there's a lot of education, strategy, and mindset coming up straight ahead today.

Listen to Get Rich Education with Keith Weinhold, and don't quit your daydream.   Keith Weinhold  24:49   Welcome back to Get Rich Education. I'm your host Keith Weinhold, and this is episode 625. AI songs are becoming more popular. Fortunately. AI podcast hosts-they really aren't that much of a thing yet, or else I might not be here. Thank goodness that listeners still want to hear from a real person. When stocks crash, what happens to home prices? Since 1980, there have been 10 or more major stock downturns. Guess how many of those cause national home prices to crash? Exactly zero. Now there was one pretty enormous housing decline, but that one started in housing. And what happens next? It reveals something that every real estate investor should understand a lot like real estate right now. Stocks are hovering near their all-time highs. Okay, both major assets, real estate and stocks, bumping up against all-time highs. There is a predictable rhythm about what happens to real estate when stocks crash. Now, when we look at stocks' seven big downturns that occurred just this century, as measured by the S&P 500, you know, first a lot of people think that stocks are overvalued here in the late 2020s. That is based on measures like the historic P/E ratio, the Shiller cape ratio, and the Buffett indicator. I mean, some investors are just disillusioned by how stocks' movement makes so little sense anymore. For example, when the latest labor number showed that 162,000 jobs were added in a month. That tripled expectations. I mean, people should have been like, "Hey, go USA! This is great. People are employed. All that. Nope. The stock market fell specifically in response to that. Why? Because strong employment increases the chances of higher interest rates, and sure enough, the Fed did then raise rates.   Keith Weinhold  27:09   Oh, geez, what? So a labor market collapse is then bad for America, and that's good for stocks. Yes, that is how it works. That is just stupid. So, with that context in mind, let's see what actually happened to national home prices this century during all the major stock market downturns that were not caused by housing, and then we'll get back to housings. Okay, during the dot-com bust in 9/11, that whole period about 25 years ago, stocks again. This is all per the S and p5 100 crashed 49% Home prices were up 23% during that time. We'll get back to the global financial crisis shortly. During the 2011 debt ceiling crisis, do you even remember that stocks went down 19 percent. Home prices went down just slightly, 1 percent. During the 2018 Fed tightening and trade war sell-off, stocks were down 20 percent, a classic bear market. Home prices were up 1 percent. Then came COVID. In barely a month, stocks plunged a jaw-dropping 34% This was in 2020. It was like a flash crash. What happened to home prices then? They were up 1% just a little. So, are you beginning to see a pattern, or perhaps a lack of one here during 2022's inflation peak and Fed tightening bear market stocks fell 25 percent. Home prices they were up 4% during that time period, and then during the 2025 tariff sell-off, you might remember Trump called that Liberation Day. Stocks were down 19 percent. Home prices. were essentially unchanged.   Keith Weinhold  29:06   All right, so there they were: six major stock market downturns this century, not one housing crash. All right, now let's turn the telescope around because 2008 was different since the crash was real estate induced, and it is the only time in the life of you or I or anyone alive today, even a 90-year-old, where national home prices took a significant fall. In fact, they were down 27 percent, and it took them a few years to fall that much. All right. Well, what did stocks do during this period? They fell even more, down 57% more than twice as much, 57% I mean, just imagine having a million-dollar stock portfolio and seeing its value cave in, down to 430k from a million. Okay, that's what really happened march 6, 2009, when the S and P hit its global financial crisis low, and that happened over a 17 month stock collapse. Okay, so what's really the summary? It is that in the six times that stocks led a price crash this century. Real estate held up, or it rose, and the one time real estate led the crash, stocks fell more than twice as much.   Keith Weinhold  30:31   It was 27 %versus 57%. All right. Well, that is what's happened this century. But you know this cause and effect relationship or lack thereof, that didn't just begin happening in 2000. When we stretch the history back to 1980, which is Jimmy Carter, almost Ronald Reagan era days, stocks had four more big downturns. We had the Volcker Bear Market, the famous 1987 Black Monday stock market crash, the Gulf War sell-off, and the LTCM crisis. During those four stock crashes, home prices also either stayed resilient or they rose. All right. Well, all of this is because homes and stocks, you know, they just aren't connected by some push and pull relationship. Stocks reprice in seconds. Fear spreads. Algorithms sell, and billions of dollars can disappear before lunch. Instead, housing moves more like a cargo ship that you're trying to turn around in the Mississippi River, it can take a long time. Housing transactions take months. Prices depend on local supply and local incomes, and mortgage availability, and whether homeowners are actually forced to sell. Housing provides something that every human actually needs and cannot be easily disrupted by AI. I mean, AI still cannot download a three-bedroom house onto a vacant lot. And of course, during any stock crash, what else happens with real estate? Your rent just keeps coming in as well. So the bottom line here is we're learning from history rather than having a hunch again. Home prices don't react to stock market crashes. Stock crashes and housing downturns are different events.   Keith Weinhold  32:32   A falling stock market it can eventually weaken consumer confidence. In in a severe recession, some of that can trickle in and affect housing, but history shows that a stock crash alone has not caused national home prices to fall. When stocks scream, real estate just kind of shrugs. Now, as we get back to talking about today, with real estate being cash flow challenged, you usually need a deal in order to make the numbers work. And as we know, for more than two years now, it has been wise to buy new build property and have that home builder buy down your mortgage rate rather than getting a property price discount. And do you realize that it actually works out better for you in almost every case for you to get your rate bought down than it is to get a discount. Yeah, it is often substantially better. Let's just think about an example. Say you're putting a 20% down payment on a 300k property at a seven and a half percent mortgage rate. Okay, let's compare your seller discounting the purchase price by 20k versus them instead using 20k to buy down your mortgage rate. All right, in the first scenario, let's call it then a purchase price reduction. The seller reduces it from 300k down to 280k. Your monthly payment would be 1566 $1,566. All right. Well, then your monthly savings from the price discount would be $112. You would also need 4k less for the down payment. Okay, 112 bucks a month is helpful to you.   Keith Weinhold  34:18   That might buy you dinner for two at the Olive Garden or something, at a wildly overpriced airport convenience store. By the way, this is a bottle of water and one almond, 112 bucks. Okay, but now let's compare it with the second option. If instead of a price discount, you pay the full 300k and use the 20k as a seller credit, a credit from the seller, and you use that to permanently buy the mortgage rate from seven and a half down to five and a half percent. In this case, even though it's a larger amount financed, your monthly payment is no longer 1566. It's just 1363, so your monthly savings is no longer 112 bucks. That Olive Garden dinner for two, it is 315 bucks. So therefore, using the seller credit instead of reducing the purchase price that ups your monthly cash flow by about 203 bucks. All right, and this was just an illustration. It's not a universal lender rate sheet carved into a stone tablet. But the larger lesson remains. Okay, terms are often more important than price. Negotiate the financing. That is the lesson. And of course, you can try to use this most anywhere with any seller, but it's been especially popular with American home builders for two plus years now.   Keith Weinhold  35:47   The bottom line is that the best deal isn't always the property with the lowest price; it is the one with the best financing, and it's one of the strategies that Mid South Homebuyers is going to offer on Wednesday night's webinar just two days away, and there's no negotiation needed. They are offering this, and it's where I'm going to be appearing live, and you're invited to join us from the comfort of your home or a coffee shop or wherever you are. So we're talking about properties in Memphis, Little Rock, and North Texas. New build properties for as little as about 200k, and some fully renovated resale properties for as little as 150k, and even less than that. Now, low price isn't reason enough to own an income property, but it's the fact that you get a strong rent in a stable market to support that, and they're offering what they call their triple five terms. They'll buy your mortgage rate down into the fives and provide property management for just a 5% fee for five years. And I just learned that for attendees of Wednesday night's event, they will even announce a promo code there, and you will get triple five terms for life on both financed and cash deals.   Keith Weinhold  37:12   And you know, I've got to say that when I began in real estate investing, I wish that any of this would have existed. Like when I began, I wish there even would have been new build property available. They just didn't even have that for income property when I started out. And the fact that it's managed for you from day one, I didn't know about that when I started out. I thought I had to invest only in my home market and then manage it myself. And here you get investor advantaged geographic markets, and then if that's not enough, you get that rate buy down into the fives and property management costs. It's basically cut in half to help improve your property's cash flow, and you can almost think of this as lifetime cash flow. You get to control a sustainable business model that's resistant to AI disruption, and yeah, it's sustainable. I mean, people will pay you to live there. That has happened for centuries. It's sort of the opposite of a cryptocurrency that will not exist in two years. It happens Wednesday night. You'll get to see me live along with the renowned providers from Mid South Homebuyers and their properties and their generous incentives and all the new AI investment that's acting as a tailwind coming into Memphis.

Jonathan Drake wraps up Proposition 4 of Spooner's poverty essay with a thought experiment that turns 1840s dollars into numbers modern listeners can actually feel. Person A borrows at 6% and hires Person B, while Person B, locked out of credit, watches the profit walk away with someone else. Jon then asks why governments can't regulate religion but can regulate financial contracts, using an image of guards posted at your gate. Along the way expect a real world banking headache involving Bitcoin, a general contractor model that lets every tradesman keep the full fruits of his labor, and a candid pushback on rights free, emotion driven arguments about voting. Burning Bright is sidelined with the man flu, so Jon flies solo again, with sponsor breaks, chat banter, and a gutter cleaning success story thrown in.  

In this episode, we're talking all about labor scares, false alarms, and the moments we were convinced it was finally time to have a baby… only to find out it wasn't quite happening yet. We share our own experiences with false labor, early labor, trips to the hospital, and the different signs that made us think things were getting started. Most importantly, we talk about how different labor can look for every woman, and even from one pregnancy to the next. Sometimes the signs are obvious, sometimes they're confusing, and sometimes you really just don't know until you get checked. We're sharing what happened to us, what we learned along the way, and hopefully giving you a little reassurance that there really is no one “right” way for labor to begin.

For this episode, let's revisit a strategy skills classic featuring an interview with the author of Behind the Startup: How Venture Capital Shapes Work, Innovation, and Inequality, Benjamin Shestakofsky. This book draws on nineteen months of participant-observation research inside a successful Silicon Valley startup, and examines how the company was organized to meet the needs of the venture capital investors who funded it. Investors push startups to scale as quickly as possible to inflate the value of their asset. Benjamin Shestakofsky shows how these demands create organizational problems that managers solve by combining high-tech systems with low-wage human labor. Behind the Startup explains how the gains generated by these companies are funneled into the pockets of a small cadre of elite investors and entrepreneurs. Shestakofsky compellingly argues that we must focus less on fixing the technology and more on changing the financial infrastructure that supports it. Benjamin Shestakofsky is Assistant Professor of Sociology at the University of Pennsylvania, where he is affiliated with AI at Wharton and the Center on Digital Culture and Society. He is the author of Behind the Startup: How Venture Capital Shapes Work, Innovation, and Inequality (on sale March 19, 2024, University of California Press). Shestakofsky's research centers on the relationship between work, technology, organizations, and political economy in the age of AI. Articles based on his research for Behind the Startup have been awarded the 2021 Star-Nelkin Paper Award from the American Sociological Association's (ASA) Section on Science, Knowledge, and Technology and the 2019 W.

TCRP COMING SOON I PROMISE! It's that part of law school but it's gonna get much better very soon. ENJOY! In Episode 173 of The Two Jacks, hosts Jack the Insider and Hong Kong Jack break down a confronting and wide-ranging week in Australian news, politics, and culture. The episode opens with an urgent discussion on Australia's domestic violence epidemic following three fatal incidents across regional and metropolitan communities, examining stubbornly high homicide rates, non-intimate familial violence, and the breakdown in enforcing intervention orders. Turning to Canberra, the Jacks assess Anthony Albanese's slump in Newspoll ratings, Siobhan McKenna's appointment as Consul-General in New York, and the persistent political headaches surrounding ministerial perks—headlined by Transport Minister Catherine King's lifetime Qantas Platinum status and the exclusive culture of the Chairman's Lounge. The conversation heats up around Pauline Hanson: her widely condemned remarks regarding First Nations Australians, the unprecedented united condemnation from Indigenous senators across party lines, and her targeted attacks on Albanese's late mother over historic public housing tenancy. The hosts also tackle the national immigration debate, contrasting One Nation's drastic visa-slashing platform with Labor's incremental policy adjustments against a backdrop of acute regional labour shortages. They explore border enforcement anomalies—including the arrest of convicted murderer Paul Offer in connection with a tracking device placed on former detective Gary Jubelin's car—and examine systemic child welfare failures in Port Hedland. Rounding out the program, the Jacks debate proposed legislation to introduce an opt-out switch for social media algorithms, answer listener mail on the future of the US Republican Party post-Trump and the legendary 1935 Sydney Shark Arm case, debunk birth-order IQ myths, and unpack the $100 million sale of Double Bay's Royal Oak Hotel. Finally, they deliver their verdicts on the AFL and NRL preliminary finals and share a laugh over a bizarre weekend in Australian cricket. Comprehensive Show Notes1. Australia's Domestic Violence Crisis & Systemic FailuresJack the Insider and Hong Kong Jack reflect on a harrowing weekend where three Australian women were killed in separate domestic violence incidents, including a 90-year-old grandmother in Sydney, a 23-year-old woman in Wagga Wagga, and a woman in northern New South Wales. The hosts analyse national homicide data, highlighting that domestic and family violence accounts for approximately 40% of all homicides in Australia, split evenly between intimate partner killings and broader familial homicides. The discussion covers the front-line pressures faced by police attending volatile call-outs, historical reporting shifts, and the frequent failure of Apprehended Violence Orders (AVOs) and Intervention Orders (ISOs) to deter determined offenders. Reference is made to the need for deeper cultural accountability and education among young men rather than relying solely on legal remedies. 2. Federal Politics, Polling Pressures & Diplomatic GigsAnthony Albanese faces a slump in public polling with Labor's primary vote falling to 27%, coinciding with his visit to the United Nations to receive a global citizen award. The appointment of Siobhan McKenna as Australian Consul-General in New York is examined, with Hong Kong Jack outlining the historical business and political ties between the Murdoch organisation and the prestigious posting. The hosts weigh upcoming electoral tests for both major parties in Victoria and New South Wales, alongside One Nation's polling gains. 3. The Qantas Perks Furor & The Chairman's LoungeScrutiny lands on Federal Transport Minister Catherine King after her parliamentary pecuniary interest register disclosed a lifetime Qantas Platinum status gift. Jack the Insider questions whether transparency around declared gifts should trigger public outrage, warning that relentless scrutiny over minor perks deters capable people from entering public life. Hong Kong Jack counters that Qantas's historic practice of handing out elite access and Chairman's Lounge memberships creates an undeniable perception of undue corporate influence across politics, the judiciary, and senior public service. 4. Pauline Hanson Controversies: Indigenous Remarks & Attacks on Maryanne AlbaneseIndigenous Affairs Minister Malarndirri McCarthy and all four Indigenous federal senators deliver a united cross-party condemnation of Pauline Hanson following her offensive description of First Nations Australians. The Jacks analyse Hanson's history of race-based political rhetoric, her qualified apologies, and whether such controversies place an electoral ceiling on One Nation's growing vote. Hanson's public criticism of Anthony Albanese regarding his late mother, Maryanne Albanese, remaining in her Camperdown public housing home until her death in 2002 is placed under factual review. Jack the Insider details the reality: Albanese was on a standard backbencher salary at the time, while his mother was an independent disability pensioner entitled to retain the home she had resided in for over six decades. 5. The National Migration Debate & Enforcement LogisticsOne Nation unrolls an aggressive migration strategy fronted by Barnaby Joyce, proposing to cut 750,000 temporary visas and enforce negative net migration before settling on a 130,000 annual intake. The hosts critique both One Nation's economically disruptive targets and the Albanese government's modest adjustments, noting strong pushback from the agricultural sector over backpacker reforms. Practical realities of border enforcement are weighed, questioning the feasibility of One Nation's plan to involuntarily deport 80,000 non-compliant visa holders annually. 6. Crime, Deportations & Child Welfare in Remote AustraliaThe hosts review the arrest of convicted murderer Paul Offer following the discovery of a tracking device attached to the private vehicle of former NSW homicide detective Gary Jubelin. Jack the Insider questions the administrative processes behind visa cancellations, contrasting Offer's circumstances with historical deportation appeals where national service exemptions were successfully argued in the High Court. Revelations from Port Hedland concerning vulnerable Indigenous children living unsupervised in squalid state housing prompt a discussion on caseworker burnout, state jurisdictional obligations, and the historical sensitivities of child welfare interventions. 7. Regulating Social Media & The Proposed Algorithm SwitchA look into legislative proposals aimed at curbing algorithm-driven content feeds on social media platforms, including proposals for an opt-out toggle. The hosts assess the risks of algorithm-driven radicalisation and anger loops on young users alongside concerns regarding censorship and government oversight of digital content. 8. Listener Inquiries, Science & Sydney FolkloreListener Lawrence asks what lies ahead for the US Republican Party post-Trump, prompting discussion on party fundraising capture and congressional dynamics. Listener Ray prompts a retelling of Sydney's infamous 1935 Shark Arm Case, where a captive tiger shark in Coogee coughed up a murdered boxer's tattooed arm, culminating in an acquittal based on the argument that an arm does not constitute proof of death. Debunking birth order stereotypes: a review of the 2015 study revealing that firstborns only average a negligible single IQ point advantage over subsequent siblings. Double Bay's Royal Oak Hotel commands a record $100 million sale price, sparking nostalgic yarns about Sydney identity John Singleton, underworld figure Stan "The Man" Smith, and colourful characters from decades past. 9. Sports Round-up: AFL, NRL & CricketAFL Preliminary Finals review: Hawthorn's contentious holding-the-ball finish, Brisbane's path forward without the suspended Lachie Neale, and Fremantle's push for a historic maiden premiership. Listener James's query regarding the Adelaide Crows' 2025 performance, assessing midfield deficiencies and trade rumours involving Chad Warner and Nick Blakey.
