In this episode of Zen and the Art of Real Estate Investing, Jonathan speaks with Owen Barrett, founder and CEO of Shine, a solar company built by apartment owners for apartment owners. With a background in finance and clean energy, Owen brings a pragmatic and results-driven mindset to a traditionally misunderstood corner of multifamily investing—onsite solar energy. Owen shares how his first exposure to real estate came after achieving financial independence through his solar ventures. Instead of starting small, he jumped into a 64-unit building, testing how large-scale solar could be layered into multifamily investment. That experience, although imperfect, helped shape Shine's business model: targeting properties with 100+ units where solar not only benefits the environment but also boosts returns. Jonathan and Owen examine the financial mechanics of solar energy in multifamily properties, from cost segregation and tax credits to NOI increases and tenant retention. Owen explains how Shine's proprietary software allows solar installations to serve individually metered units, a longstanding challenge in the space. He also breaks down how syndicators and institutional investors approach solar differently, and why understanding your audience is key when pitching value-add improvements. Owen emphasizes that solar is not about selling environmental benefits. It's about improving the bottom line. But the secondary benefits, such as tenant retention, lower utility inflation, and greater resilience during energy volatility, add long-term value. For syndicators and operators seeking to future-proof their assets, this conversation is packed with strategic thinking, cost-saving tactics, and clear-eyed lessons from someone who installs what he owns. In this episode, you will hear: How Owen Barrett transitioned from solar to multifamily real estate Using solar to increase NOI and attract investors Cost segregation, tax credits, and depreciation benefits Why roof condition is a make-or-break factor for installations The difference in decision-making between syndicators and institutions Leveraging solar to reduce tenant utility costs and turnover The reason early due diligence makes or breaks solar ROI Follow and Review: We'd love for you to follow us if you haven't yet.

Host Dr. Bradley Block welcomes Dr. Jonathan Weinkle, for an in-depth discussion centered around his insightful book, ‘Illness to Exodus'. Drawing inspiration from the rich traditions of the Passover Seder, Dr. Weinkle has developed an innovative Healing Seder, a ritual designed to cultivate compassion and infuse a renewed sense of purpose into the daily lives of healthcare providers. Leveraging his deep Jewish heritage and his extensive experience teaching courses such as Death and the Healthcare Professions, he delves into the transformative potential of simple rituals, such as performing a morning Kiddush over a cup of coffee, which can elevate routine tasks into profoundly meaningful acts. This episode masterfully weaves together themes of faith, compelling storytelling, and actionable advice, providing physicians with valuable tools to rediscover their calling and maintain a purposeful approach to their practice, even amidst the monotony of repetitive patient care.Three Actionable Takeaways:Adopt a Daily Ritual – Use a morning Kiddush or similar practice (e.g., over coffee) to start your day with purpose and resilience.Embrace Patient Narratives – Listen to patients' unique stories, like a Seder tale, to reignite curiosity and care in repetitive care settings.Navigate Faith Conflicts with Empathy – Engage with patients' religious views openly to find common ground and tailor effective care plans.About the Show:PGD Physician's Guide to Doctoring covers patient interactions, burnout, career growth, personal finance, and more. If you're tired of dull medical lectures, tune in for real-world lessons we should have learned in med school!About the Guest:Dr. Jonathan Weinkle is an internist and pediatrician who practices primary care and serves as Chief Medical Officer at Squirrel Hill Health Center in Pittsburgh. A University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine graduate with a Med-Peds residency, he is a clinical assistant professor in Family Medicine and part-time instructor in Religious Studies and Conceptual Foundations of Medicine at Pitt. He teaches Death and the Healthcare Professions and Healing and Humanity, authored Healing People, Not Patients and Illness to Exodus, and runs ‘Healers Who Listen', where he blogs on healing and Jewish tradition. Once considering a rabbinical path, he now integrates faith and medicine to support physicians and patients.LinkedIn: http://linkedin.com/in/jonathan-weinkle-3440032awebsite: https://healerswholisten.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/healerswholisten?igsh=eXQ3a2QxMXZncTluAbout the host:Dr. Bradley Block – Dr. Bradley Block is a board-certified otolaryngologist at ENT and Allergy Associates in Garden City, NY.

As Sarah is preparing to leave the company, she tries in vain to get details of the ongoing harassment from her boss, Joel Kaplan, on record with the legal team.

The brilliant Tracy Otsuka is back on the show for another rich conversation about why ADHD so often gets misdiagnosed (or completely missed) in women, how trauma can mimic or amplify ADHD symptoms, and what you can actually do to function and advocate for yourself if you're dealing with either (or both) during divorce. We also dig into the very real challenges of trying to function while your brain is in a constant state of overwhelm: whether that's from trauma, ADHD, or the mental chaos that comes when the lines between them blur. Tracy breaks down the importance of understanding how your brain is wired, why traditional systems so often fail neurodivergent women, and how to build supports that actually work for you. Whether you're navigating ADHD or the aftermath of trauma, reclaiming your own narrative isn't just important, it's necessary, especially if someone else is trying to write it for you. Here's what else we discuss in this episode: How ADHD presents differently in women than men and why so many of us go undiagnosed (3:23) The difference between a trauma state and ADHD and why knowing the distinction matters (10:15) What to do when your ADHD diagnosis is used against you by your partner or ex in a weaponized or manipulative way (22:10) How gender roles and stereotypes create additional shame and pressure for neurodivergent women (26:16) Tracy's brilliant tip for using ChatGPT as a digital support tool in divorce (30:58) Learn more about Tracy Otsuka: Tracy Otsuka, JD, LLM, AACC, ACC, is a certified ADHD coach and the host of the ADHD for Smart Ass Women podcast.

Imagine building your business around what naturally energizes you instead of constantly trying to fix your weaknesses. What if that's actually the secret to sustainable success?In this illuminating conversation with Lindsay Schmit, Gallup-certified strengths coach and founder of Right Hand Consultants, we explore how self-awareness transforms from a personal development exercise into a powerful business strategy. Lindsay shares how the CliftonStrengths framework helps high-performing leaders identify their natural talents and leverage them for greater impact.We take a fascinating behind-the-scenes look at my own strengths profile, examining how talents like Relator, Significance, Focus, Achiever, and Futuristic shape my coaching approach and business decisions. Lindsay explains why certain strengths appear prominently in entrepreneurs and leaders and how they influence everything from goal-setting to scaling strategies.The research is compelling: people who focus on developing their strengths are three times more likely to report excellent quality of life and six times more likely to be engaged at work.

On this episode of Destination on the Left, Liza Graves shares her journey growing a 100% digital lifestyle publication that she started as a way to help small businesses through the recession. She talks about why it is important to find your North Star and how that can guide you through the ups and downs. We talk through some of the unique ways that StyleBlueprint helps DMOs and tourism businesses reach a traveling audience. What You Will Learn in This Episode: How Liza launched StyleBlueprint during the Great Recession to help support local businesses and why that mission has been the cornerstone of her company's growth Why it's essential to know your North Star as a business or destination, and how that core purpose can help you navigate challenges like economic downturns and the pandemic What it means to tell authentic, experience-driven stories about destinations and small businesses, and why origin stories resonate so powerfully with target audiences How StyleBlueprint partners with destinations and DMOs, and what makes a successful collaboration, including the role of co-ops and customized storytelling Why identifying your brand or destination's true story matters more than following trends, and Liza's tips for discovering and communicating those stories effectively How to break through the clutter when pitching stories to media outlets or digital publications, based on Liza's frontline advice for PR professionals and marketers What collaboration and community-building look like in practice, and why Liza believes working together leads to more sustainable, meaningful growth for destinations and businesses Finding Your North Star From the Great Recession to catastrophic floods and the uncertainty of the pandemic, Liza knows a thing or two about leading through adversity. Her advice is to have a clear North Star, your guiding purpose and values that keep you focused through turbulent times. During the pandemic, StyleBlueprint leaned deeply into its core mission: supporting local. Liza reached out personally to partners, offered flexible arrangements, and championed resources like PPP guidance. Because these actions were rooted in authentic care and community, her business not only weathered the storm but emerged stronger and with deeper trust. Her experience is a master class for tourism professionals: know your core, communicate gratitude, and adapt your offerings while never losing sight of the people and partners who make your destination or business possible. Finding and Telling Destination Stories That Resonate One of the signature advantages of StyleBlueprint is the way it dives deep, trading five-point “Top Things to Do” lists for rich, immersive lifestyle features. Liza advocates for destinations and businesses to invest time in uncovering their true stories, often starting with their own origin. Why did you open your restaurant, shop, or B&B? What local traditions or quirks define your town? It's not always easy to surface the stories closest to us—we're often “too close” to see what's special. Liza encourages hiring a professional storyteller if needed, or leveraging AI tools as a prompt to reflect on why your place or business exists and what personally resonates about its history or community role. These stories aren't just interesting, they magnetize your ideal visitor and forge lasting emotional connections. Strength in Partnerships A standout takeaway from the episode is Liza's embrace of “coopetition”—forming strategic, collaborative storytelling and marketing partnerships even among traditional competitors. StyleBlueprint's co-op articles group similar destinations, such as “guys' weekend getaways” or “mother-daughter retreats,” giving readers variety and context while offering participating locales a cost-effective, high-impact platform. These efforts enhance authenticity and make it easier for destinations to identify and communicate the unique experiences they offer. The key, as Liza notes, is partnering with platforms that “overdeliver,” know their audiences, and, most importantly, care.

I'm sitting down with Kent Kononoff, a seasoned B2B sales leader with over 25 years of experience in sales and sales leadership. Kent is known for his expertise in value-based selling, collaborative negotiation, and strategic planning to drive high-stakes deals. Kent shares his go-to collaborative approach, his favorite negotiation tactics like calibrated questioning and strategic silence, and reveals his top dos and don'ts for effective negotiations.    Plus, don't miss a real-world story that brings these concepts to life and a powerful reminder that everyone in your organization, including those outside of sales, can all uncover new opportunities. Outline of This Episode   [04:30] Kent's three favorite negotiation tactics—including collaborative questioning and strategic silences [07:43] Effective negotiation strategies include value-based selling and collaborative approaches. [09:38] How to spot aggressive tactics like unrealistic deadlines or extreme terms and stay calm under pressure  [14:24] Avoid undermining your own sales pitch [16:10] Leveraging strong customer relationships and market positioning to secure new opportunities    Confident, Collaborative, and Value-Driven Negotiation Kent frames strategy as the overarching plan—your big-picture approach to closing a deal, shaped by your objectives, the client relationship, your position in the marketplace, and how your company is perceived. Tactics are the actionable tools that help execute the strategy: the specific maneuvers, like deploying credibility-building testimonials or positioning yourself as a subject matter expert. Strategy provides direction; tactics are how you get there. When it comes to high-stakes negotiations, Kent prefers a collaborative strategy. Instead of pushing generic solutions, Kent concentrates on building rapport, understanding the customer's precise needs, and creating a solution that fits the individual circumstance. This approach sets the stage for trust and long-term partnership. We also discuss why not every negotioation counterpart will be cooperative—some may come in with a “win-lose” mentality. According to Kent the secret is to stay patient, ask calibrated questions, and gradually guide even competitive negotiators toward mutual understanding. Relationship-building and deep discovery remain essential, ensuring that you become more of a partner than just another vendor. Essential Negotiation Tactics for Difficult Deals Kent's negotiation toolkit is robust but centers on three tactics: Calibrated Questions: Asking calibrated questions, positions you and the customer as teammates working on a problem together. Examples are, “How can we solve this together?” or “What are the biggest challenges your team faces?” Strategic Silence: Sitting with silence can be uncomfortable, but Kent believes “sales are made in the silence and lost in the noise.” Pausing give clients space to share objections or hesitations they wouldn't otherwise have mentioned. Anchoring: Kent believes in anchoring expectations early on during discovery. By citing market trends or industry challenges, he helps shape a realistic frame of reference, making pricing discussions smoother down the road. The Irreplaceable Role of Planning Planning, Kent insists, is everything. Quoting Benjamin Franklin, he reminds us: “If you fail to plan, you are planning to fail.” Kent attributes 90% of success to diligent preparation, including knowing your customer, mapping out strategies and tactics, and setting clear objectives. Ad-hoc negotiation may result in occasional wins, but consistent, sustainable results only come with meticulous planning. Recognizing and Countering Aggressive Tactics In negotiations, especially with professional buyers, you'll inevitably encounter aggressive tactics—take-it-or-leave-it offers, last-minute demands, or anchoring at a very low price. Kent's advice? Stay calm, never react impulsively, and always use your rapport to bring the conversation back to shared goals and values. Ask clarifying questions to uncover the real motivations behind demands, and always know your own BATNA (Best Alternative To a Negotiated Agreement) so you're prepared to walk away if necessary. Sales isn't just the job of the “sales team.” Any team member, from operations to delivery drivers, can spot opportunities and bring them forward. It's a culture of service and curiosity that uncovers hidden value for both customer and company. Thoughtful negotiation transforms sales from a transactional contest into a platform for partnership and value creation. From strategy and planning to calibrated questions and collaborative tactics, Kent Kononov's wisdom offers B2B sales professionals a powerful toolkit for success in even the most challenging deals. Remember: Prepare, listen deeply, and always seek the win-win.   Connect with Kent Kononoff Linkedin Connect With Paul Watts  LinkedIn Twitter    Subscribe to SALES REINVENTED Audio Production and Show Notes by PODCAST FAST TRACK https://www.podcastfasttrack.com
