0:00 - Sean Payton took the blame for the leveraging penalty FG debacle that cost the Broncos the game. That's admirable of him, but was it really his fault? Why would he fall on the sword for his special teams coordinator?15:57 - Deion Sanders still doesn't have a good answer at QB. Should he keep rolling with Ryan "Martin Luther Staub" Staub? Or...Brett has a different idea. CU's already 1-2 and struggling to find their footing. If Juju Lewis is truly the QB of the future, why not make him the permanent starter and let him learn/develop EVEN IF it essentially means punting on the season?34:16 - We've focused a lot on the negatives from Denver's loss to Indy, but let's dig deeper into the positives! What went well for the Broncos?

ESPN's Adam Schefter joined us to break down Denver's gut-wrenching loss to Indy. And maybe...just maybe...he can explain what the heck Leverage is? We shall see. 

0:00 - That leveraging penalty call on the Broncos felt so arbitrary. Look at every FG attempt. Someone's always putting their hands on someone else! Why call the penalty in that moment? It's like holding. You could absolutely call holding on every single play if you wanted to.14:53 - It's Monday at 8:20am, so let's take a look Around the NFL!32:19 - Which Broncos players are In the Groove right now? It wasn't all doom and gloom yesterday! There were plenty of bright spots. After that, CU lost to a very beatable Houston team. But a good amount. So it begs the question...where's Coach Prime's Louis? He said he was bringing it. Really? Where's the talent on this roster?

In this episode, Ryan Steuer of Magnify Learning details a five-year implementation plan for launching a Project-Based Learning (PBL) movement in a large district, specifically focusing on 13 middle schools. While the example is niche, the process is designed to be customizable and scalable for districts of any size. The episode emphasizes the importance of systematic, structural change, starting with district leadership, and leveraging the "innovation curve" to ensure widespread adoption and sustainability. Key Takeaways & Implementation Steps: Magnify Learning & PBL Networks Magnify Learning has over a decade of experience in PBL, stemming from a grassroots collaboration among educators. We are launching free PBL Networks in October to provide a safe space for educators to process ideas, collaborate, and share best practices across different PBL niches (e.g., PBL and CTE, PBL and STEM, PBL and Maker Spaces, PBL and SEL, PBL and UDL). Find more at pblnetworks.com. Collaboration is key: You should never do PBL alone. Foundation: District Leadership & Goals The implementation must start with district leadership, not a top-down mandate. Involve both secondary and elementary leaders from the outset to align mindsets and processes. Clearly define the goals of PBL for the district and individual middle schools, aligning them with the district's mission, vision, and "profile of a graduate". District leaders must model student-centered practices; principal meetings should be collaborative, not "sit and get". If district leadership isn't ready to collaborate, the initiative needs to pause and address that foundational work. Building the District PBL Team & Plan Establish a district PBL design team of 6-10 central office members. Dedicate two-day design sessions to develop the comprehensive 5-year implementation plan. Go "beyond the why" to articulate the district's collective purpose for this work. Leveraging the Innovation Curve Identify innovators: Map all 13 middle schools onto an innovation curve to identify which are "innovators," "early majority," and "late majority". This is crucial for guiding the timeline. Focus on "crossing the chasm": The biggest challenge is bridging the gap between early adopters/innovators and the early majority. This is why a 5-year plan is essential. Define roles for innovators: The initial 1-2 innovator schools will implement PBL first, transparently, and are tasked with creating resources (like group contracts, planning forms) for subsequent cohorts. This empowers them and provides tangible tools for others. Customized Implementation: While the process is systematic, each school's implementation will be customized based on their readiness (e.g., starting with a specific grade level, subject, or wall-to-wall). The "best way" is what the school's leadership and teachers are most ready for. Planned Supports & Training (Before Launch) Leadership Training: Innovator school leaders will receive training similar to the central office team, focusing on creating school-level leadership teams, structures, and processes for PBL sustainability. Teacher Training: Multi-day training, including coaching, to build a PBL mindset and culture, not just mechanics. This includes: Leadership: Design Days, Deeper Practice, Sustainability Days (over 3 years). Teachers: PBL Jump Start (theoretical unit creation), PBL Advanced (reflection, curriculum mapping), and PBL Certification (by end of Year 3 for sustainability). Pre-planning is paramount: All training, coaching, and support pathways must be planned out before the official launch to avoid "shooting from the hip" and to assure the early/late majority there's a clear plan. The 5-Year Implementation Timeline (Example for 13 Middle Schools): Year 1: District: Share vision and 5-year timeline with building leaders, have 1-on-1 conversations with innovators. Explain the "why" behind the phased approach. Cohort 1 (Innovators - e.g., 2 schools): Establish school leadership teams, build 3-year building-level plans, launch initial PBL units, and make work public through "exposes" (showcases) to invite other schools. Staff attends a PBL "jump start" over the summer. Year 2: District: Form a PBL advisory team, identify "bright spots," train principals on key leadership needs, and begin reviewing administrator evaluations and aspiring leadership pathways to align with PBL. Cohort 1: Leadership teams conduct "roses, buds, thorns" reflections, addressing teacher needs (e.g., schedule, PD, evaluations). Teachers continue public showcases and create district-wide tools (rubrics, contracts). Teachers attend "PBL Advanced" over the summer. Cohort 2 (Early Majority - e.g., 8 schools): Begin with leadership team design days and teacher "jump start" training, then implement and showcase work. Year 3: District: Invest in the PBL advisory team, train principals on evolving needs, continually share the vision, and introduce refined administrative evaluations and aspiring leadership pathways. Cohort 1: Leadership teams focus on "sustainability days" to ensure processes outlive individuals. Teachers collect data, share artifacts, publicize work through news and district channels, and achieve PBL Certification over the summer to train new hires. Cohort 2: In their second year of implementation. Cohort 3 (Late Majority - e.g., 3 schools): Begin with leadership team design days and teacher "jump start" training, having observed 10 other schools and gained insights. Year 4: District: Plan for sustaining the work beyond year five, including establishing PBL district coaches (ideally two for mentorship and continuity). Cohort 1: Lead and collaborate with other schools. Cohort 2: In their final year, getting PBL certified. Cohort 3: In their second year (PBL Advanced). Year 5 (Final Year of Initial Rollout): District: Administrative evaluations and aspiring leadership pathways are fully established. New "normals" are in place. All Middle Schools: Every middle school has a leadership team and PBL certified teachers, ensuring sustainable structures and processes. Schedules, evaluations, and PLCs are synergistic with PBL. Leaders: Continuously invest in their people and lead, rather than just manage. Community Partners: Integrated as a normal part of school, helping shape the school's positive narrative. Outcome: Middle schools become models of innovation, inspiring PBL adoption in elementary and high schools. Overarching Philosophy of Change "Go slow to go fast": Rushing implementation leads to foundational problems. Innovation starts at the top and must be modeled. Leaders must "cross the chasm" by meeting the early majority on their terms, providing clear plans and supports. This is a long game to fundamentally change mindsets, structures, and redefine educational norms, ultimately growing people and systems to achieve desired outcomes for learners. It is challenging but doable and totally worth it. Resources and links: pblnetworks.com

Trump and the people around him want to use the Kirk assassination to suppress their political opposition. And Trump is clearly laying the groundwork for cracking down on people he doesn't like—peaceful protesters, Dem fundraisers—while also offering rhetorical comfort to potential vigilantes on the right. Meanwhile, we are witnessing the danger of having an incompetent person atop the FBI, who alternates his time between posting for clicks and purging the bureau of highly qualified personnel for political cred. Plus, Vance is running for the 2028 nomination every day, the raid on the Georgia Hyundai plant shows the incoherence and stupidity of Trump's economic vision, and as Putin tests the resilience of NATO, the White House is playing politics in Poland.

Ep. 199 (Part 3 of 3) | Polarity management pioneer and author Barry Johnson and adult development expert Beena Sharma are masterful teachers on the subject of polarities and what polarity thinking can bring to the world, benefitting our well-being at every level. Together they explain what polarities are, why they matter, how to apply and leverage them, and the essence of polarity wisdom: pursuing the upsides of opposite poles. Barry is careful to explain that although either/or thinking is the root of our troubles, both/and thinking by itself isn't the answer either. Integrating either/or with both/and thinking and recognizing the interdependence of all things is the road to transformation and, Beena adds, the engine of human development, of human maturity.Barry explains the profound spiritual understanding foundational to polarity wisdom and Beena details how polarities shift according to our developmental stage. Each of the polarities discussed—justice/mercy, claiming power/sharing power, being/doing, to name a few—illuminates its sphere, whether it relates to democracy, social justice, or spiritual practice. Barry and Beena are passionate about the promise of polarity thinking and their excitement is contagious in this fast-paced, delightfully lucid dialogue, jam-packed with information that is practical, inspiring, and potentially life changing. Recorded May 22, 2025.“Universal interdependence is the most clear example of divine, unconditional love, and the polarity is the smallest element within universal interdependence—the interdependence of two.”Topics & Time Stamps – Part 3Back to stages: from self-interest to harmonizing, to independence, multiperspectivality, and oneness (00:35)We are born unique and we become more unique; we are born connected and appreciate being connected more and more (08:23)Applying polarity thinking to contemporary politics: immigration (09:29)The language of compassionate action (12:08)How polarity thinking can help us with the metacrisis (16:02)Leveraging polarities in everyday life, socially & culturally (20:11)How do we select what to do when faced by an overwhelming amount of choices?

In this episode, Steve Fretzin and Ral West discuss:The importance of measuring and tracking the right business metricsThe challenges and necessity of delegation for growthUsing automation and systems to save time and increase efficiencyIdentifying ideal clients and aligning business with long-term vision Key Takeaways:Profitability isn't guaranteed by high revenue alone; entrepreneurs must actively track expenses, understand their financial statements, and focus on the bottom line to ensure their business is truly making money rather than just looking successful.Delegation is not simply about handing off tasks but about providing clear instructions, defining the desired outcome, establishing feedback loops, and ensuring accountability so that the work supports long-term business growth without creating new inefficiencies.Leveraging automation, from bookkeeping software to AI tools that organize email, allows entrepreneurs to reclaim significant hours each week, reduce overwhelm, and free themselves to focus on higher-value activities that actually grow the business.Sustainable business growth requires entrepreneurs to deliberately define their ideal client persona, align services with long-term goals, and be disciplined enough to decline work that doesn't fit, so their time and resources are invested where they matter most. "You cannot grow your business if you don't learn to delegate, and if you don't learn to get some of these pieces off your shoulders." —  Ral WestCheck out my new show, Be That Lawyer Coaches Corner, and get the strategies I use with my clients to win more business and love your career again. Ready to go from good to GOAT in your legal marketing game?

In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Ivan Rusilko, DO, CSN, PT, a medical doctor who's redefining personalized care. We dive into the power of precision diagnostics and the urgent need for customized health protocols to optimize cellular function. You'll get an inside look at the latest strategies transforming patient care in South Beach, where every intervention is about maximizing your body's potential from the inside out. Dr. Rusilko walks us through a test-and-not-guess approach to health, showing how comprehensive lab panels reveal what's really happening at a cellular level. From peptides and NAD protocols to immune support and lifestyle interventions, this episode is packed with actionable insights that show how the right combination of cutting-edge medicine and daily habits can dramatically improve energy, immunity, and overall wellbeing. Key Takeaways: Emphasis on cellular health is crucial for aging, healing, and performance, with a focus on mitochondrial function and ATP production. Diagnostic testing is non-negotiable; understanding comprehensive blood markers can guide personalized treatment plans. Lifestyle factors, including sleep, nutrition, and hydration, are foundational for health optimization, underscoring the need for patient responsibility. Peptides and supplements, such as NAD and BPC-157, show significant promise for mitochondrial health and immune support. Strategies like intermittent fasting need nuance and moderation; extreme fasting may pose health risks by stressing the body.

One afternoon you decide to snub your responsibilities and go for a hike. You spend a few hours in the woods or the mountains. You study the bark of trees, you bathe in birdsong, you let your eyes roam along a distant ridgeline. And you come back feeling better, restored somehow—like you have more energy, more patience, more bandwidth. We've all, I'm guessing, had experiences like this. But what's behind these effects? Why would nature restore us? What's the evidence that it really does? And what is even being restored, actually? My guest today is Dr. Marc Berman. Marc is an Associate Professor in the Department of Psychology at the University of Chicago where he directs the Environmental Neuroscience Lab. Marc is also the author of a new book, Nature and the Mind: The Science of How Nature Improves Cognitive, Physical, and Social Well-Being. Here, Marc and I talk about Attention Restoration Theory—the idea that nature experiences restore our limited capacity for directed attention. We discuss the broader field of "environmental neuroscience," which Marc helped kickstart and continues to lead. We range across studies from Marc's lab that show nature's beneficial effects—on attention, on mood, and on health. We talk about what the active ingredients in nature seem to be. And we discuss the field's prospects for understanding how nature impacts not just the mind, but the brain itself. Along the way, Marc and I touch on: soft versus harsh fascination; the elusive concept of "mental energy"; trees, wood, fire, and rain; the architect and theorist Christopher Alexander; the value of fake plants; fractalness in space and time; curvature and spirituality; and how nature tends to steer our thoughts in certain directions. Needless to say, we're stoked to be kicking off a new season of Many Minds. If you're new to the show, welcome!

Before entering the automotive industry, Nena dedicated 18 years to law enforcement, spending nine of those years as a training manager within the prison system! Her extensive experience has equipped her with exceptional skills in communication, process integrity, and leadership. Nena has made a remarkable transition into automotive sales, where she consistently excels, often topping the sales chart and bringing a wealth of experience and a strategic mindset to her current role. Nena continues to break barriers and is an inspiration to everyone in the industry!    Mastering Automotive Sales: Leveraging Experience and Networks for Success   Key Takeaways Building strong, authentic relationships is a key to expanding your customer base and securing repeat business. Leveraging your unique background and network to establish niche markets can significantly boost your sales and reputation. A proactive approach to marketing and relationship-building, rather than waiting for prospects, leads to greater success in the automotive sales industry. Harnessing Your Past for Present Success In the realm of automotive sales, one of the most effective strategies involves drawing from your previous experiences and networks. This idea is brilliantly illustrated in the journey of Nena Gilmore Moss, a former law enforcement officer who transitioned seamlessly into automotive sales and achieved remarkable success. With almost two decades in law enforcement, she now thrives as a top-performing sales consultant at Bolivar Ford. Her story is a testament to the power of leveraging one's unique background to create a distinct value proposition. Having worked "18 years in a prison system," as Moss states, she drew upon her extensive experience in dealing with a wide range of people and situations to excel in automotive sales. The adaptability and communication skills she honed over the years have become invaluable assets. "What do you think your previous life helped you or prepared you with to be able to be successful in automotive?" Moss reflects, "Having a plan and following a process… because if we don't follow a process, it's chaos." Her law enforcement experience provided her with the unique ability to "build that relationship in the beginning and keep that [customer] relationship going," which contrasts with typical sales approaches that often emphasize immediate sales over long-term relationships. This tailored approach not only earns repeat business but also generates vast referrals, underscoring the importance of leveraging past networks to create a new client base. Strategies for Building a Referral Network Referral networks are gold mines in the sales industry, often untapped due to either a lack of awareness or an understanding of how to cultivate them. Moss's experience showcases the immense potential of tapping into pre-existing professional networks to foster business growth. She eloquently narrates her tactic of leveraging connections from her time in law enforcement to form a robust referral base in her sales career. "We have a program that's not open to the public. It is exclusive to law enforcement only because that's my background," she explains, demonstrating the significance of crafting a special, targeted program tailored to specific client groups. This strategy has been instrumental in driving referrals: "Probably 99% of my business is repeat and referral." Her proactive strategy extends even further, utilizing tools like LinkedIn to establish new contacts with police departments and other relevant organizations. The creation of a targeted lead generation process involving these connections exemplifies how combining traditional relationship-building with modern platforms can expand one's reach exponentially. The Art of Proactive Selling An overarching lesson from Moss's success story is the power of proactive selling—the art of creating opportunities rather than waiting for them to appear. Moss, a former training manager, understands discipline and execution and applies these principles to automotive sales to gain clear advantages over competitors. "In this business, you can't sit back and wait on ups. You can't sit and hope that somebody comes on the parking lot, you got to work." Through active community involvement and personalized outreach, she doesn't just wait for customers to walk through the door. Instead, Moss engages in activities like setting up booths at local events and diligently cultivating a positive reputation in her community. She also delves into untapped opportunities like becoming a certified car safety inspector, offering her services to parents and daycare centers. This niche service not only provides value but differentiates her from many others in the field. Moss emphasizes, "Once you build that relationship, you keep that relationship. And you're transparent about your process. You explain your process. You work hard in the beginning, it pays off." These diligently-nurtured relationships then serve as a reliable source of ongoing business, reinforcing the importance of investing in long-term customer engagement strategies. Looking at Moss's journey, it becomes clear that in automotive sales, success is within reach when employing tailored approaches that draw on personal expertise and networks. This is a lesson echoed through her narrative, where methodical planning, adaptability, and leveraging past experiences become the bedrock of a thriving sales career. By cultivating meaningful relationships and employing proactive, network-based strategies, sales professionals can significantly boost their impact and create a thriving business founded on trust and exceptional service.   Resources + Our Proud Sponsors: The Millionaire Car Salesman Facebook Group: Join the #1 Mastermind Group in the Automotive Industry with over 29,000 members worldwide.

Unlock Your True Potential by Asking This One Question   This episode of the Rich Mind Podcast poses a powerful question to kickstart your biggest goals: "If you knew you couldn't fail and wouldn't be judged, what's the one thing you would do today?" Randy and Greg use this thought experiment to dissect the self-doubt, limiting beliefs, and fear of judgment that paralyze us. The conversation evolves into a real-time coaching session where Greg shares his entrepreneurial dream of starting a coaching business and the internal resistance holding him back. Listeners will get a transparent look at how to identify limiting beliefs, the importance of taking small, initial steps to build momentum, and the power of aligning your actions with your authentic self to find true fulfillment.   Key Takeaways:   The question "What would you do if you couldn't fail?" is a powerful tool to bypass your inner critic and identify your true desires. Self-doubt and limiting beliefs (e.g., "Why would someone hire me?") are the primary obstacles preventing us from taking action, not a lack of resources or skill. You don't need to know every step of the journey to begin. The first step is to simply start and trust that the right people and resources will appear. To overcome the overwhelm of a big goal, break it down into the smallest possible action you can take today. The feeling of joy and fulfillment is a strong indicator that you are on the right path and aligned with your purpose. Leveraging your innate skills (like networking and listening) can provide a unique angle for a new venture you're passionate about. Sharing your goals with a trusted inner circle can provide clarity, encouragement, and the "kick in the butt" needed to get started.   Questions Answered in This Episode:   What is the most powerful question you can ask yourself to overcome fear and self-doubt? How do you identify the specific limiting beliefs that are holding you back? What is the first, smallest step you can take to start building a new business or pursuing a dream? How do you know if a new career path is truly aligned with your purpose? Why is it so important to have a support system or coach when chasing a big goal? How can you use free tools like AI to get started and build momentum? How do you overcome the fear of judgment from others when you start something new? What is the "ripple effect" and how can helping one person impact thousands?   Key People, Concepts, & Terms:   People: Randy Wilson, Greg Junge, Jim Rohn Concepts: No-Failure Mindset, Self-Doubt, Limiting Beliefs, Inner Critic, Imposter Syndrome, Taking Action, Momentum, Coaching, Purpose, Ripple Effect Tools: ChatGPT (AI) Key Episode Timestamps   00:00 - The Ultimate Question: What Would You Do If You Knew You Couldn't Fail? 01:35 - The Core Obstacle: The Power of Self-Belief vs. Self-Doubt 04:09 - A Real-Time Example: Greg's Dream of Starting a Coaching Business 07:00 - Unpacking the "Why": Identifying the Limiting Beliefs That Keep Us Stuck 08:06 - The Solution: What is the Smallest Action You Can Take Today? 09:30 - The Feeling of Fulfillment: How You Know You're on the Right Path 16:31 - A Key Insight: How to Use Your Natural Talents (Networking) in a New Way 21:06 - The "Kick in the Butt": The Power of Encouragement and Accountability 25:11 - Getting Over the Fear of Judgment and Hitting "Record" 31:42 - The Final Challenge: What ONE Thing Will You Do Today?

Create your board of directors. As a business owner, you shouldn't be the middleman between all of your advisors. Surround yourself with a trusted team of professionals, including attorneys and tax experts, and let them collaborate on your behalf. Educate the next generation. The great wealth transfer is happening now. Get the next generation involved in conversations about the family's financial history, values, and goals. Women are not a niche market. With women living longer and the rise of female breadwinners and business owners, the financial industry is overdue in adapting to serve women. Financial planning is about empathy and understanding the unique goals and concerns of every client, regardless of gender. Quotes "There are a lot of tools in our tool belt as advisors. We just have to remember to educate our clients and let them know what's available." ~ Tiffany Irving "Women are not a niche market. We're over 50% of the population. So, we're trying to make sure that both partners or spouses are engaged and involved in all of our financial discussions." ~ Tiffany Irving "Client demographics are evolving.

Eric Barstow graduated with an economics degree, seemingly destined for Wall Street. Instead, he stuck with the painting business he started in college—a side hustle that was already generating $110,000 a year while he worked only five to ten hours a week. Realizing the massive opportunity and low competition in the home service space, Eric leaned in. Today, he is the co-founder of National Painting Group, projecting $35 million this year, and runs Painting Business Pro. And guess what? He barely knows how to paint.Eric's entire model proves entrepreneurs don't need trade skills to build a multi-million dollar service business; they need systems. His strategy relies entirely on leveraging subcontractors—a method that fixes profit margins, eliminates liability, and perfectly manages seasonal slowdowns. He reveals his exact tactics for finding reliable subs (including his specific Craigslist and paint store strategies) and shares the "Phase Zero" marketing hustle needed to land your first customers, including his scripts for door-to-door marketing.He details his proven sales process, including how to use price anchoring and specific incentives to close deals on the spot, and breaks down the financial model required to maintain a 20% net profit margin. If you want to build a highly profitable business without ever picking up the tools, this episode is essential listening.Takeaways:- You do not need to be skilled in the trade to build a successful trade business; Eric is an awful painter, but he excels at building marketing, sales, and management systems. - Leveraging subcontractors instead of employees is the most efficient way to scale a service business, as it fixes your margins (fixed price per job), reduces liability, and allows you to scale up or down instantly with seasonal demand.- Find reliable subcontractors by posting ads twice daily in both the "general labor" and "skilled trades" sections of Craigslist, or by approaching painters in unmarked vans at local paint stores.- In "Phase Zero" (getting from $0 to stability), focus only on marketing that generates leads quickly, such as door-to-door sales and lawn signs. Avoid long-term plays like SEO or vehicle wraps.- A highly effective lawn sign strategy is placing them near high-traffic retail areas (like Costco or Whole Foods) on a Friday afternoon, as city workers are unlikely to remove them over the weekend.- Use "price anchoring" in your sales process. Before showing the contract, verbally tell the customer the typical price range for a job their size (e.g., "A house like this is usually about $6,000") to reset their expectations.- Create urgency and close deals on the spot by offering incentives that also benefit your business, such as a small dollar amount discount (never a percentage) if they sign that day or agree to take an urgent open spot on your schedule.- You should aim for a 20% net profit margin. A healthy budget allocates 50% to labor/materials, under 10% to marketing, 6-7% to sales, 6-7% to project management, and 7-8% to overhead.- The market size is irrelevant; success depends on implementation. Eric has clients doing millions in revenue in towns with populations as small as 27,000. - Build the business around your desired lifestyle from day one. By setting firm constraints (like working only 30 hours a week or never on weekends), you force yourself to build efficient systems rather than just working more hours.Tags:  Business Skills, Service & Consulting, Subcontracting, Marketing, Home ServiceResources:Grow your business today: https://links.upflip.com/the-business-startup-and-growth-blueprint-podcastConnect with Eric: https://paintingbusinesspro.com/

In this episode of Zen and the Art of Real Estate Investing, Jonathan welcomes Kent Ritter, CEO and founder of Hudson Investing. Kent's path into real estate began after selling his healthcare consulting business, which left him looking for ways to diversify his capital. Starting as a passive investor in multifamily syndications, he eventually transitioned into active investing, experimenting with house flipping and single-family rentals before fully committing to multifamily. In 2019, he launched Hudson Investing, a firm focused on building wealth through multifamily syndications with a strong presence in the Midwest. Jonathan and Kent explore the turning points in Kent's career, including his decision to bring property management in-house. Kent explains how frustration with third-party managers pushed him to create his own team, which improved operational control, reduced turnover costs, and allowed him to align company culture with resident experience. They also discuss renovation strategies, with Kent emphasizing the importance of investing in upgrades residents use every day, such as faucets, thermostats, and cabinet pulls, while balancing affordability and return on investment. The conversation also touches on the advantages of focusing on Midwest markets, where Hudson Investing has found consistent demand and steady fundamentals. Kent highlights the value of building a strong investor community, noting that transparency, education, and shared opportunities foster long-term success. For both passive and active investors, this episode shows how thoughtful leadership, strategic decisions, and multifamily real estate can create reliable, long-term growth. In this episode, you will hear: Kent's transition from healthcare consulting to real estate investing Lessons he gained as a passive investor before becoming an operator The benefits of bringing property management in-house Renovation strategies that balance affordability with meaningful upgrades How reducing turnover drives stronger property performance The value of curb appeal and amenities alongside interior finishes Opportunities found in Midwest multifamily markets The role of community and investor alignment in scaling a portfolio Tax strategies that can improve investment outcomes Follow and Review: We'd love for you to follow us if you haven't yet.

Colby Ward of Amazon Web Services talks about leveraging agentic AI for competitive advantage; navigating change management; data; & eliminating spreadsheets.  IN THIS EPISODE WE DISCUSS:   [04.04] An introduction to Colby, his background, and role at Amazon Web Services. [06.58] An overview of AWS – who they are, what they do, and how they help their customers. “Everybody knows the expression: ‘Garbage in, garbage out!' But no one seems to focus on that area enough. They seem to say: “Well, here's our solution, whatever your data is, we'll take it.” And nobody focuses on: “How can I connect your data in an easier way?” “Our goal is to eventually eliminate the spreadsheet on every supply chainers desktop!” [10.30] Where enterprise technology has focused over the last couple of decades, the positives and negatives, and how we've got to where we are today. [14.17] The problem with generic SaaS systems in supply chain, and how agentic AI can deliver improved orchestration and eliminate bias. “SaaS systems are designed to fit any customer need, not your specific needs…. It has to be built in a generic way, so they offer configurable options, different APIs, but you're molding a generic system. And the problem is: supply chain problems aren't generic. They're specific. When you translate the word supply chain, what you're really saying is business operations. So that's a big topic!” “Not conjecture, not just leaving it up to somebody's best instinct… When you're operating on data-driven decisions, you don't have to second guess.” [22.27] How businesses can tackle outdated processes and deal with dirty data to leverage agentic AI in the most effective ways. “People say that data is the new oil, and that's true. But, like oil, if it's unrefined, it's useless.” [29.17] Leveraging agentic AI for competitive advantage, and why businesses should be thinking about creating the most amount of outputs from the least amount of inputs. “Enterprise A that doesn't use AI will eventually be the lumber yard that never bothered with a chainsaw. There's a reason we moved from axes to chainsaws, and AI is your chainsaw!” [35.21] Whether or not agentic AI will level the playing field. [37.34] An overview of ontologies, process and knowledge graphs, and how they can guide agents to achieve next-level intelligence. [42.36] Change management, and how businesses should be thinking about people alongside technology to ensure the best chance of success. “If you visualize this as a tool to help you with your job, you're immediately going to be better off… Make sure you have an AI strategy in place. Don't be dismissive that this is the next new fad. It's not. It's transformative.” [45.00] Are we ready?

Dr. George Magrath, CEO of Opus Genetics, discusses the company's experience in obtaining non-dilutive funding for its ultra-rare inherited retinal disease program. He highlights the challenges and advantages of this funding source, as well as the importance of establishing relationships with patient advocacy groups and foundations to mitigate risk and increase their attractiveness to traditional investors. The drive for non-dilutive funding for ultra-rare diseases is expected to become increasingly important in helping to get drugs to clinical trials. George explains, "Opus Genetics is a gene therapy company for eye disorders that occur in children. And these disorders are ultra-rare. It's 200 patients, a thousand patients per indication, and it's really good science. It's from Gene Bennett, who was the inventor of Luxturna, which was the first approved genetic medicine. And it does require some non-conventional thought on the financing, though, because these are so rare. And what we've done at Opus Genetics and have been really fortunate to be a part of is non-diluted funding from external sources. And that comes in the form of partnerships with patient families and organizations, like we just announced last week with RDH 12 Alliance." " It also comes with the Foundation Fighting Blindness, which has given us a number of grants and non-dilutive funding deals. And so those have been really important to Opus and have really helped us progress the programs. The way we think about that is the first principle is the clinical data we typically generate using our equity dollars. The preclinical work we try to do with non-dilutive funding, and that way we're able to focus on spending in rare scenarios." #OpusGenetics #RareDiseases #UltraRareDiseases #EyeDiseases #GeneTherapy #NonDilutiveFunding #Blindness #Ophthalmology opusgtx.com Listen to the podcast here
