Hit the trail with the stars of Stagecoach - John Ford's western classic that announced John Wayne as one of Hollywood's legendary leading men. The film follows a gang of passengers on a dangerous trip through Apache country, and we'll hear two of those riders - Claire Trevor and Thomas Mitchell - whose performance won him an Academy Award. Mitchell stars in "John Barbie and Son" (originally aired on CBS on February 22, 1945) and Ms. Trevor stars in "The Blue Hour" (originally aired on CBS on September 25, 1947) and "The Light Switch" (originally aired on CBS on May 12, 1949). Plus, Claire Trevor and the Duke himself reunite in a production of the film from Screen Directors' Assignment (originally aired on NBC on January 9, 1949).

It is a privilege to welcome recording artist Vince Montage to The Jake's Take with Jacob Elyachar Podcast. At just 20 years old, Vince has already written over 500 songs and collaborated with heavyweights like Polo G and Scott Storch (Credits include 50 Cent, Dr. Dre, and Beyoncé), but nothing he's made has been quite like this. On May 8th, he released "Fleeting," his debut single and the opening statement of a bold new era. Raw, introspective, and unflinchingly honest, the track confronts the emotional weight of impermanence in love and in the versions of ourselves we can't hold onto. “Fleeting” explores the ache of emotions that are impossible to hold onto: the moments, relationships, and feelings that slip away just as quickly as they arrive.Written during a period of rapid personal change, the song reflects Vince's desire to return to moments in time and the complexity of feeling deeply for something temporary. Vince's new era is marked by a desire for authenticity and emotional honesty, as he reminisces about moments that slip away as quickly as they appear. Vince's creative process stems from internal dialogue combined with a distinct talent for identifying complementary melodies.In the case of “Fleeting,” the melody came long before the final production, allowing the emotion of the record to take center stage. The track was produced by Pacific, with Vince operating as a co-producer alongside his longtime collaborator, Grammy Award-winning producer-engineer Mixx, with whom he has worked since his early teens and has collaborated with the likes of Teyana Taylor and French Montana. Together, the duo has crafted a soundscape that balances subtle percussion with emotional intensity.For Vince, authenticity is everything – “If you can reach a lot of people, you can have a big impact on other people's lives in a bunch of different ways.” Vince Montage's musical focus has now shifted from creating music that is an extension of pop culture to creating music rooted in authenticity. “When you're making music for the purpose of trying to catch a trend, you can make a song that becomes a hit, but it's not going to influence people in the same way that making music from your own personal experience does.” Originally from Columbus and now based in Miami, Vince began his music journey at just 13 years old. What began as a creative desire to collaborate with creatives Vince admired on SoundCloud quickly evolved into a legitimate, all-encompassing career and relentless creative pursuit for Vince, culminating in collaborations with influential artists. Over the past seven years, he's worked to refine an innovative style unique to him but shaped by influences ranging from some of his favorites: From Prince to Queen to contemporary innovator, Mk. Gee. On this edition of The Jake's Take with Jacob Elyachar Podcast, Vince Montage spoke about how SoundCloud has helped him,  the stories behind his most-streamed Spotify songs, including “Light Switch,” “Back 2 U” – his collaboration with Karri, and “Stuck in this Mood” with Polo G.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/jake-s-take-with-jacob-elyachar--4112003/support.

In this episode, Alex Pardo continues the raw, unfiltered coaching series with Storage Wins community member Dan, who is now under contract on a 28,000 square foot self-storage facility priced at $2.625 million. After the previous conversation surfaced a critical gap in Dan's deal analysis — specifically that revenue doesn't jump to projected levels overnight but ramps slowly over months — this episode picks up with Dan processing some mixed emotions and working through the real question every first-time storage investor eventually has to answer: is the juice worth the squeeze? Alex walks Dan through how to evaluate that question honestly, without just telling him what to do. They talk about what qualifies as a base hit versus a home run on a first deal, how to look at the deal through the conservative, likely, and best-case lenses without letting optimism drive the offer, and what it actually means to responsibly bring equity partners into a deal you still believe in. It's one of the most practical, unscripted conversations the show has aired — and if you're at a similar inflection point in your own storage journey, this one was made for you. You'll Learn How To: Determine whether a deal is a true base hit or just a deal you're forcing because you're hungry to close Evaluate a storage deal through conservative, likely, and best-case revenue scenarios without getting burned by optimism Understand why revenue ramp-up is a slow burn — not a light switch — and how to model it correctly Structure equity partner terms that are competitive with what active investors in the storage space are actually looking for Weigh the real value of getting into your first deal even when the returns aren't exceptional Recognize the orange flags in a deal's financing structure before they become red flags at closing Build the confidence and clarity needed to pull the trigger — or walk away — with a clear, defensible reason   What You'll Learn in This Episode [0:00] Alex previews the series and what Dan missed in the prior deal analysis — the revenue ramp-up problem [0:47] The 28,000 sq ft deal under contract: $2.625M purchase price and the cash flow math that surfaced some hard questions [2:32] Dan shares his mixed emotions after the last call — and Alex explains why they're recording it anyway [3:18] Dan's framing: the value of getting into a first deal, even knowing he'll give up 40% equity and an 8% preferred return [4:33] What Scott Speer and other coaches told Dan about what investors are actually looking for right now [5:31] Running the numbers: 9–11% cash on cash return over five years and a 17–18% annualized return — and why it's still short of the 12–15% benchmark [6:27] Alex's philosophy on first deals: it doesn't have to be a home run, but it does have to be a base hit with low risk [8:25] What Alex learned from his own early deals — buying in markets he wouldn't touch today — and the lesson about operations vs. market fundamentals [9:35] How to think about the juice-worth-the-squeeze question based on your season of life, your goals, and your risk profile [10:42] Why hunger to close a deal is not enough justification — and what separates discipline from paralysis [11:17] Dan makes the case for the facility: competitors with much higher rates and occupancy above 90% suggest meaningful room to push rates [13:12] Running the likely scenario vs. conservative: how higher confidence in the market changes the deal math [15:17] The revenue light-switch analogy — and why missing this detail is one of the most common first-deal mistakes [16:52] Potential paths forward: renegotiating terms with the seller, adjusting interest rate assumptions, or restructuring the equity split [19:19] Alex's reminder: always determine your exit before you enter — and what that means for this deal specifically [19:42] Alex wraps the series so far and challenges listeners following Dan's journey to keep showing up with the same persistence   Who This Episode Is For: First-time storage investors who are under contract or close to it and second-guessing the numbers Investors who know they want to do a deal but aren't sure where to draw the line on acceptable returns Anyone who has ever confused being hungry to close with being ready to close Students of the Storage Wins community looking for a real-time, unscripted deal review Operators who want to understand how to model revenue ramp-up correctly before making an offer Investors considering bringing on equity partners and not sure what terms are realistic right now   Why You Should Listen: Most podcasts show you what winning looks like. This episode shows you what the messy middle looks like — the moment after you've done all the right things, run your analysis, gotten the deal under contract, and then discovered there was one number you weren't modeling correctly. That's not a failure. That's the job. And how you respond to that moment is what separates investors who close deals from investors who talk about deals. Alex doesn't hand Dan the answer here. He helps him build the framework to find it himself. What's the conservative case? What's the likely case? What does the market data actually support? What would a responsible equity partner need to see? Those questions matter a lot more than any single deal outcome — because the investor who can answer them clearly will keep finding deals long after this one is resolved. If you're in a similar moment right now — wrestling with whether a deal clears the bar or not — the framework Alex lays out in this conversation is one you can apply immediately to whatever is sitting in your pipeline.   Follow Alex Pardo here: Website — https://www.alexpardonow.com Storage Wins — https://www.storagewins.com Schedule a call with Alex — https://www.storagewins.com/call Facebook — https://www.facebook.com/alexpardonow Instagram — https://www.instagram.com/alexpardonow YouTube — https://www.youtube.com/@alexpardonow   Join the Storage Wins Facebook community and connect with other investors working through deals just like this one at https://www.facebook.com/groups/storagewins.

Bujie – Tour Manager, Production Pro & All-Around Rockstar of HospitalityFrom skate shops to stadiums, Bujie has built an extraordinary life doing what she loves most — taking care of people and keeping the show running no matter what. Known for her tireless work ethic, organization, and infectious positivity, she's spent more than two decades behind the scenes of some of rock's biggest tours and events, making the impossible look easy.Her live event journey began unexpectedly — after years of running successful retail and skate park businesses in Michigan, she volunteered at a local music festival and quickly discovered her knack for advancing shows and managing artists. That led to a full-time career in live production and tour management, working with legends including Alice Cooper, Iron Maiden, Mötley Crüe, Deep Purple, Marilyn Manson, and The Guess Who.For nearly a decade, Bujie was a key part of Alice Cooper's touring family, overseeing every detail of hospitality, logistics, and VIP experiences — and even assisting Johnny Depp during Cooper's annual Christmas Pudding charity event in Phoenix. From private planes with holes mid-flight to backstage chaos and heartwarming moments with rock icons, she's seen it all — and handled it all with grace, humor, and a clipboard full of color-coded spreadsheets.When she's not on tour, you'll find her back home in Michigan working at her local metropark (she'll proudly tell you she's obsessed with mowing grass), hiking, or volunteering with charities close to her heart, including St. Jude Children's Research Hospital and Wounded Warrior Project.“I'm just an ordinary girl with an extraordinary life,” she says — but anyone who's worked with her knows there's nothing ordinary about her drive, heart, and hustle.Her motto? “Always be the hardest worker in the room.”This Episode is brought to you by Lightswitch

Louisiana counts nearly 2,000 foster homes across the state. There are more than 4,000 children in the foster care system.Right away, you can see the math doesn't work unless every foster family doubles up on the number of children they take — and of course, that's not feasible or even recommended in lots of cases.This week, we'll get the perspective of those involved in Louisiana's foster care system to see if and how the gaps can be filled.We'll hear from a faith-based group that's the state's go-to for therapeutic foster care.David Matlock, secretary of the Louisiana Department of Children and Family Services, the state agency in charge of foster care, will also join us.And we'll learn how people who were once in the system now get a say in how it operates.
