Master technical SEO & backlinks safely with compliance. Learn do-follow vs no-follow vs sponsored vs UGC backlinks, internal linking tactics, and why websites need at least 6–24 months for positive return on investment.Favour Obasi-ike, MBA, MS demystifies the complex world of SEO backlinks, breaking down the critical differences between do-follow, no-follow, sponsored, and user-generated content (UGC) links. He highlights that do-follow links pass valuable "link juice" and authority to your site, while no-follow links act as essential brand signals.Favour stresses that earning backlinks requires high-quality content and a secure website, warning heavily against the trap of buying spammy, toxic links. Listeners will learn how to properly utilize Google Search Console, build smart internal link structures, and play the long game—focusing purely on creating high-quality, secure content for 6 to 24 months before worrying about external backlinks.Who is this for?This deep dive episode is essential listening for entrepreneurs, digital marketers, website owners, content creators, and SEO beginners who want to move beyond guesswork. If you need to understand technical SEO, safely build domain authority, and learn the exact mechanics of backlinks without risking a Google penalty, Favour Obasi-ike provides the definitive guide.Key Moments & Chronological Breakdown[Beginning] The Basics of Backlinks: Favour introduces backlinks as digital references, defining do-follow versus no-follow links and explaining how do-follow links transfer page rank signals, whereas no-follow links (like those from Wikipedia or Forbes) act as a brand citation or hint without passing equity.[Early Discussion] Tracking Your Success: A walkthrough on how to find your specific external backlinks using Google Search Console, moving from the bottom-left settings to the "Links" report.[Midway] The Danger of Toxic Links & Site Protection: A warning against spammy "toxic" backlinks that can result in Google penalties, why purchasing links ruins your reputation, and the absolute necessity of having a secure (HTTPS) website to build foundational trust.[Midway] Realistic Timelines for New Websites: Answering a question from Omar, Favour shares the hard truth that brand new websites generally take 6 to 24 months to rank on the first page of Google. New sites must focus on content marketing and indexing before attempting to acquire external backlinks.[Late Discussion] Internal Linking Masterclass: Favour explains to Jasmine and Tracy that internal links (linking pages within your own site) are automatically do-follow. He shares a brilliant, actionable tactic: always link old blog posts to newly published ones, and vice versa, to signal content freshness to search algorithms.[Conclusion] Leveraging Shared Media: Using platforms like Reddit, podcasts, Pinterest, and LinkedIn to post original content links, thereby generating legitimate user-generated content (UGC) backlinks and initial traffic.Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)What is the difference between a do-follow and a no-follow link?A do-follow link automatically passes "link juice" (page ranking authority) from one site to another, essentially telling search engines to endorse you. A no-follow link acts as a brand citation or hint but does not directly transfer link equity.Are all internal links do-follow?Yes. By default, when you link from one page on your website to another page on your same website, it acts as a do-follow link because you are moving traffic and authority within your own property.Are no-follow links bad for my SEO?No! You need a natural balance of both to avoid looking suspiciously like you are unethically acquiring links. Major platforms like Wikipedia and magazines use no-follow links by default, and they are vital for a healthy backlink profile.Should I buy backlinks?Absolutely not. Favour equates this to buying fake followers; you cannot buy trust. It often results in toxic backlinks that penalize your site's ranking rather than helping it.How long does it take a new website to rank on Google?It realistically takes between 6 to 24 months. New sites must focus on building a secure site, getting properly indexed by Google, and creating valuable, referenceable content first, rather than chasing external links immediately.How do I avoid toxic backlinks?You cannot entirely prevent people from linking to you, but you can protect yourself by maintaining a secure HTTPS website, earning your links organically rather than buying them, and focusing on quality content that naturally attracts reputable sources.Action Steps for ListenersSecure Your Website: Ensure your site uses HTTPS to provide a secure lock icon. This builds foundational trust so that visitors, search engines, and other sites view you as a trustworthy page.Audit Your Google Search Console: Verify your site is connected. Navigate to the bottom-left settings, click "Links," and check your "External Links" to accurately monitor which external domains are referencing your domain.Master Internal Linking: Every time you publish a new article, create a hyperlink back to a relevant older article, and immediately update that older post with a link pointing to the new one to ensure your site is interconnected and marked as "fresh".Adopt a "Give to Get" Content Strategy: Before asking for links, create high-quality, research-backed content on your own site that others will naturally want to reference.Leverage Shared Media for Early Links: Post your original content on your site first, then share those links on platforms like Reddit, Pinterest, LinkedIn, or in podcast show notes to build initial traffic and generate legitimate user-generated content (UGC) backlinks.Check Your Authority Over Time: Use the Ahrefs Website Authority Checker (ahrefs.com/website-authority-checker) to measure your site's current standing, monitor your domain's health, and track progress over time.Ready to Rank?

“One thing I have learned from my childhood til now is that when you fall, you get up, dust yourself off, and do it over and over again. I've had a lot of up and downs in my business life in America. I've had many failures and people only talk about successes, but failures in my mind are the foundation of success.”Rahul Tandon speaks to Iranian-American entrepreneur Isaac Larian.The 72-year-old billionaire is the founder and chief executive of US-based MGA Entertainment, one of the world's largest toy companies. Over the years, he's been involved in several high-profile toy launches, including the ‘Bratz' range of dolls back in 2001.But his success today, regularly appearing on rich lists compiled by the likes of Forbes, is a far cry from his early years growing up Tehran, where his family often struggled to put food on the table in a home without electricity or running water.His father ran a small textile shop that a young Larian would work in, buying and selling stock. And at the age of just 17, Larian took this business experience with him when he bought a one-way ticket to America to seek his fortune.Thank you to the Business Daily team for their help in making this programme.

Dana invited Katie Reed onto the show after reading just one of her emails — and this conversation did not disappoint. Katie is a Forbes-featured buyer psychologist and AI strategist who spent 20 years as a psychotherapist before turning her expertise toward why people buy (and why they don't). In this episode, Dana and Katie dig into the Castle Guard Framework — four core psychological guards that run every purchase decision — and why traditional objection-handling actually makes things worse. They also get into the "husband objection," how to use AI to understand your buyers at a deep level, and why your customers aren't objecting at all — they're protecting themselves. What We Cover IntroWhy Dana invited Katie on after just one email — and what that says about great messaging MindsetScars vs. wounds: the difference between vulnerability that builds connection and vulnerability that invites pity FrameworkBuyers don't object — they guard. The psychology behind why your sales tactics may be making things worse Guard 1Drive — emotional motivation, urgency, and whether someone has the energy to actually do something Guard 2Identity — current vs. aspirational identity, belonging vs. uniqueness, and why moms tend to nail this one Guard 3Risk — financial, functional, social, and self-blame risk (and why a money-back guarantee isn't enough) Guard 4Pattern — the most overlooked guard: daily habits, status quo bias, and how disruption stops people cold TacticsSupporting the defense: the therapy technique that works just as well in sales calls Real TalkThe "talk to my husband" objection — and Dana's conversion-boosting trick for handling it with integrity AIUsing AI to understand your buyers at scale — and Katie's "fetch" prompt trick for auditing your sales page BonusKids, entrepreneurship, and why we should stop making our children wait to create value Key Takeaways Buyers guard — they don't object. Meeting them where they are relaxes the guard; fighting it tightens it. Every purchase runs four internal scans: Drive, Identity, Risk, and Pattern. Your messaging needs to address all four. "Time and money" are almost never the real objection — they're surface-level stand-ins for something deeper in one of the four guards. Supporting the defense (a therapy technique) is one of the most powerful sales tools you're not using. AI is your best tool for understanding buyer psychology at scale — use it on your transcripts, reviews, and sales calls. Share from scars, not wounds. Your audience shouldn't have to be your therapist.

James Kim's Los Angeles-based cannabis company grew from a scrappy startup in 2017 to a legal unicorn worth $1.5 billion. Allegations of black-market activity and lawsuits be damned—Stiiizy aims to be the Nike of cannabis. Inside a warehouse in Downtown Los Angeles, next to a strip club, James Kim, the CEO and cofounder of the California-based cannabis brand Stiiizy opens the door to one of his grow rooms, revealing 972 pot plants, thriving three-foot-tall beauties two weeks from harvest. “This room is all money,” says Kim, who is 37 and has tattoos covering his arms, including a portrait of Ben Franklin and a rose made from a $100 bill. These days, Stiiizy is bringing in plenty of Benjamins. The company—which was founded in 2017 and grows cannabis, manufacturers vapes, pre-rolls, gummies and flower—has nearly 50 branded dispensaries across California and generates more than $800 million a year in revenue. Stiiizy, which is also California's biggest cannabis retailer, is the best-selling weed brand in the country, according to sales data firm Headset. A vertically integrated powerhouse that now operates in seven states, one out of every eight cannabis products sold in the United States is a Stiiizy product. The company, which Forbes estimates to be valued at $1.5 billion, is privately held, secretive and mysterious—out of four original co-founders, only Kim would agree to speak, and he would not confirm the names of his partners. Founded in the gray market days before California legalized recreational marijuana, Stiiizy has also been dogged by lawsuits, rumors of illicit activity (all of which the company denies) and scandals, but none of that has changed the fact that in the $32 billion regulated cannabis industry, Stiiizy is the brand to beat. “We're the number-one brand in the nation,” says Kim. “I always tell people, if we're number one in the nation, we're number one in the world.” A floor below the grow room, Kim walks through his production facility where dozens of employees in blue hairnets and facemasks brush mini blunts with a brown liquid and roll them into a half-pound of kief and put them into trays. In another room, a woman uses a machine to fill 100 Stiiizy vape pens at a time—by the end of the day, workers here will make nearly 100,000 of them. Every month, Stiiizy grows 15,000 pounds of weed and produces about $70 million worth (retail sales) of cannabis products in California, not including how much it produces in Nevada, Arizona, Michigan, Missouri, Illinois, and New York, where Stiiizy launched in February and rose to be among the top 10 best-selling brands within a month, according to Lit Alerts.  Kim walks out of his warehouse and jumps in the back of his black Cadillac Escalade and his driver takes him a few minutes down the road to Stiiizy's DTLA headquarters. “We always had dreams of the brand getting big,” says Kim, while Notorious BIG's “Juicy” plays over the car speakers. “But we didn't know it would be this big.”  Kim, who sports an Audemars Piguet Royal Oak chronograph on his wrist, grew up humbly in Cerritos, California. He shared a bed with his older sister so his parents, both immigrants from South Korea, could rent out the other bedroom to help make ends meet. His parents sold women's clothing at the local Santa Fe Springs Swap Meet and starting at six years old, young James was in charge of setting up the tent, manning the cash register and helping his mom set prices for clothes. (His mom taught him her strategy, which was to price each item at double her cost.)  “They put me to work,” he says. “That swap meet was my life.” Read the full story here: By Will Yakowicz https://www.forbes.com/sites/willyakowicz/2025/04/18/inside-stiiizy-the-worlds-best-selling-weed-brand/ Learn more about your ad choices.

U.S. airline executives say higher fares due to the Iran war have not dampened demand for tickets yet—but analysts say that could change with a protracted conflict in the Middle East. Key Facts Looking at ticket sales for the six largest U.S. airlines, the average transaction grew by 2% (American Airlines) to 16% (Delta Air Lines) for the week ending March 8 compared to the previous week, according to new data from Consumer Edge, a provider of consumer spending data. Speaking Tuesday at a J.P. Morgan investor conference, executives of major U.S. airlines agreed travel demand remained robust enough to offset much of the huge spike in jet fuel prices caused by the war in Iran.  Several executives suggested travelers are locking in summer airfares now before rates climb further. Jet fuel, which typically accounts for one fifth to one quarter of airlines' operating expenses, was $3.93 a gallon Tuesday on the Argus U.S. Jet Fuel Index—up 57% since the U.S. and Israel began airstrikes on Iran 18 days ago.  How Robust Is Travel Demand? The strong demand airlines are seeing now may be short-lived, as some of this strength “may reflect consumers booking trips ahead of potential fare increases tied to rising jet fuel costs,” Jeff Windau, senior analyst at Edward Jones, wrote in a note to investors, adding “tax refunds are likely to provide a short-term boost to discretionary travel spending.” A protracted war could make Americans less willing to spend on higher airfares. “If oil prices remain elevated for an extended period, travel demand could soften as inflation further constrains consumers' disposable income,” Windau wrote. One big factor that could dampen travel demand would be a drop in the stock market. “As long as the stock market goes up, higher-income people will feel more confident in a way that lower income people won't, and that impacts their discretionary spending,” Michael Gunther, senior vice president of research and market intelligence at Consumer Edge, told Forbes. Could Premium Passengers See Bigger Fare Hikes? Instead of raising airfare prices across the board, airlines may decide to hike some fare classes, such as premium and business class, before others. Generally speaking, the legacy airlines—American, Delta and United—attract higher-income customers who are less price sensitive than those who favor budget airlines. At the J.P. Morgan conference Tuesday, Delta Air Lines CEO Ed Bastian said the upper arm of the K-shaped economy, representing the most affluent Americans, was still strong “and we serve the top end of that K, and probably the highest end of that K,” noting the wealthiest demographic “is, candidly, a bit immune to what goes on with geopolitical events.” But while U.S. airlines “would like to charge more, they know they can't just go out and start charging 20% more, 30% more,” Katy Nastro, spokesperson for the flight-deal company Going, told Forbes this month. “I don't think we can assume premium travelers are just going to eat up this additional cost and lie down and take it.”  Will Airlines Cut Back Their Schedules? For now, U.S. airlines are operating with their schedules mainly intact from before the war. But if the Middle East conflict continues, domestic carriers may begin to rein in capacity to offset their increased costs from jet fuel prices. Around the world, some carriers have already begun cutting flights. Scandinavia's SAS said it plans to nix roughly 1,000 flights in March and April, Air New Zealand announced it would reduce capacity by 5% through early May and Vietnam Airlines warned it soon may have to scrub flights from its schedule What We Don't Know How long the war will continue. “The duration of the Iran conflict will be a key factor for the travel industry,” wrote Windau to investors. “Airport delays associated with the partial government shutdown, ongoing headlines about geopolitical tensions, and rising costs all have the potential to weigh on consumer sentiment and discretionary travel plans.” Read the full story on Forbes: By Suzanne Rowan Kelleher https://www.forbes.com/sites/suzannerowankelleher/2026/03/18/iran-war-airfares-climbing/ Learn more about your ad choices.

Federal Election Commission filings for the first quarter of 2026 showed that billionaires Miriam Adelson and George Soros were the biggest donors backing GOP and Democratic super PACs, respectively, ahead of this year's midterms, while billionaire Marc Andreessen's venture capital firm poured $25 million into a pro-artificial intelligence Super PAC. KEY FACTS According to the filings published on Wednesday night, GOP megadonor Adelson donated $30 million to the Senate Leadership Fund, the major super PAC backing Republican Senate candidates. Filings made by the GOP-aligned Congressional Leadership Fund—which backs GOP House candidates—showed Adelson had given the super PAC $10 million, bringing her overall contribution to $40 million so far this year. Billionaire George Soros, one of the biggest backers of Democratic candidates, donated $50 million to his Democracy PAC in January through an associated group, the Fund for Policy Reform. The Democracy PAC then donated $9 million to Senate Majority PAC—which backs Democratic Senate candidates. FORBES VALUATION According to Forbes' Real Time Billionaire's list, Adelson's total fortune is worth $37.3 billion, making her the 58th richest person in the world. In comparison Soros' net worth stands at $7.5 billion as of Thursday morning. WHAT DO WE KNOW ABOUT FUNDING FROM SILICON VALLEY ?Leaders from Silicon Valley launched the pro-AI super PAC Leading the Future in August last year, with venture-capital firm Andreessen Horowitz among its main backers. Wednesday's filings showed that the venture firm donated $25 million to the political action committee, with $12.5 million each coming from co-founders Benjamin Horowitz and billionaire Marc Andreessen. BIG NUMBER $27 million. That is how much Democratic Texas Senate Candidate James Talarico has raised in the first three months of the year so far, according to the New York Times. Talarico's strong numbers appear to reflect Democratic optimism about the race in deep-red Texas, as the GOP has been besieged by infighting among its top two candidates. SURPRISING FACT Filings for a Win for America, a super PAC backed by sports betting platforms, showed it raised more than $40 million in the first three months of the year. FanDuel contributed $19.5 million while DraftKings' holding company, DK Crown Holdings, donated 17.5 million. An additional $4 million came from Fanatics' subsidiary FBG Enterprises Opco.

During an all-hands meeting earlier this year at data labeling startup Mercor, its then 22-year-old billionaire CEO Brendan Foody pulled up a slide with a single word: fraud.  An employee had embezzled company funds, he told his staff of more than 200. The person had since been fired. There would be no tolerance for this behavior, Foody said, according to four people familiar with the meeting.  Foody didn't identify the employee or disclose the amount stolen at the meeting. But Forbes has learned that the culprit was an early hire and lead manager on the Anthropic account, one of the company's most important, where Mercor's contractors create training data to help build Claude. Multiple former Mercor employees said the manager had recruited his brother and father as “experts” and sent them hundreds of thousands of dollars in so-called bonus payments. He was reported in late December after it was discovered that contractors were paid more than the amount billed to Anthropic for multiple data generation projects, two sources said. Anthropic was not aware of the incident, they added.  Mercor eventually recovered the fraudulent bonus payments and it did not end up costing customers any money, Mercor spokesperson Heidi Hagberg told Forbes. The former Anthropic account lead, whom Forbes is not identifying, declined to comment for this story. Anthropic declined to comment. By Rashi Shrivastava, Writer Anna Tong, Forbes Staff.

From a childhood shaped by poverty in rural Pakistan to the calculated, high-stakes world of social mobility, Amna introduces us to Tara—a narrator who dares you to judge her even as she demands to be understood.

In this compelling conversation, we discuss:

A TEDx speaker and contributor to Forbes and Harvard Business Review, Daisy helps leaders and organizations build the clarity, steadiness, and systems to lead what's next without burning out in the process. In this episode… Burnout is an all-too-familiar experience in the workplace, especially for leaders balancing people management with high performance. As professional demands grow and organizational culture lags behind, how can leaders sustain their energy, lead with purpose, and inspire their teams without losing themselves in the process? Workplace strategist and leadership expert Daisy Auger-Domínguez has developed strategies for conquering burnout and leading with intention. To sustain energy and inspire others, she recommends beginning with self-awareness by using the Japanese ikigai framework to connect your strengths and passions with team needs and payment structures. Leaders can also set clear boundaries, reshape harmful narratives, and use scripted, compassionate conversations to address tension within teams.  In this episode of the Lead Like a Woman Show, Andrea Heuston interviews Daisy Auger-Domínguez, Founder and CEO of Auger-Domínguez Ventures, about creating sustainable leadership while avoiding burnout. Daisy explains how to dismantle racial bias and discrimination in the workplace, the role of storytelling and culture in leadership, and how to reignite your passion.

If workplace culture is failing, are we brave enough to use Gen Z as the prototype for what comes next?In this episode of Practice Disrupted, Amanda Schneider, the founder and president of ThinkLab, joins host Evelyn Lee to discuss her transition from a "designer by degree" to a leading researcher in the built environment. As the author of the upcoming book Work for What's Next, Amanda explores the uncomfortable truth that current workplace structures are struggling to keep up with the shifting expectations of the modern workforce. She shares insights from her viral research into Gen Z, explaining how this generation is not a "problem to manage," but a vital signal for the digital-first evolution that the architecture and design industry must undergo to remain relevant.The conversation delves into the "trust gap" currently widening between leadership and staff, and the specific role physical space plays in closing it. Amanda breaks down the findings from ThinkLab's latest research, challenging architects and designers to think beyond traditional ROI and consider how physical environments can foster psychological safety and authentic connection. She discusses the friction between "analog natives" and "digital natives," offering a roadmap for firms to move beyond describing industry problems and toward building a culture that prioritizes people as much as projects."Workplace culture is failing. Gen Z can see why. And if we're willing to use them as a prototype rather than a problem, they show us exactly where the profession needs to go." - Amanda SchneiderBeyond generational shifts, Amanda and Evelyn discuss the business of research itself and the importance of data in shaping the future of practice. From her journey of building and selling a company to her current focus on the "trust survey," Amanda emphasizes that the future of the profession belongs to those who can bridge the gap between digital-first thinking and the irreplaceable value of physical space.Guest:Amanda Schneider is the founder and president of ThinkLab, a premier market research company wholly focused on the built environment (now a part of Sandow). A designer, journalist, and researcher, her work on Gen Z and workplace culture has been featured in Forbes, MIT Sloan Management Review, and a TEDx talk with over half a million views. Her book, Work for What's Next, focuses on the evolution of professional culture.This episode is especially for you if:✅You want to understand why Gen Z is the "prototype" for the future of work rather than just a generational trend.✅You are a firm leader interested in closing the "trust gap" within your organization.✅You are an "analog native" looking for strategies to pivot toward a digital-first mindset in a design practice.✅You are curious about the evolving ROI of physical office space and how it impacts firm culture.✅You want to hear how market research can be a catalyst for meaningful change in the architecture and design industry.What have you done to take action lately?

Historically Black colleges and universities — known as HBCUs — are schools that were created to educate Black students at a time when most colleges would not admit them.While “HBCU” might not be a household name in Minnesota, students and graduates of these 107 schools represent a thriving culture and network, especially in the southern United States.And, their impact is significant. A recent report by Forbes magazine reveals that HBCUs have produced about 80 percent of Black judges, 70 percent of Black doctors and dentists, 50 percent of Black engineers, and 40 percent of Black lawyers. And about half of the nation's Black teachers graduated from an HBCU.MPR News host Angela Davis talks with several graduates of HBCUs and a leader from an organization that supports these schools.

Most people don't associate residential real estate investing with enjoyment. Between tenant issues, maintaining properties, and financing problems, it can really be a headache.  But the problem isn't the asset class; it's how you approach it. Because real estate, when done right, is actually one of the most forgiving businesses you can be in. What separates the people who enjoy real estate from the ones who burn out isn't intelligence or even experience. It's getting around the right people and getting the right education. What kind of information should you be consuming? How do you find a community that makes investing easier and even enjoyable? In this episode, real estate investor, lender, and author of "Build Real Estate Wealth: Enjoy the Journey of Rental Property Investment, "Joel Miller returns.  We break down why real estate is far more forgiving than people think, and how to structure your investing so it actually becomes sustainable. We talk about why getting around the right people might be the most underrated advantage in the entire business.   Things You'll Learn In This Episode  Real estate isn't risky; bad positioning is If real estate is so "dangerous," why do so many people still build long-term wealth from it? Is the risk actually in the asset, or in how most people enter the game? Time is the ultimate bailout strategy Why do some investors survive bad deals while others get wiped out? How does having the ability to "hold" completely change your outcomes? You don't need to know everything What's the minimum effective knowledge needed to get started without making catastrophic mistakes?  Network often beats strategy Why do the best deals, best contractors, and best insights rarely show up online? How does getting in the right rooms shortcut years of struggle?   Guest Bio Joel Miller is a real estate investor, entrepreneur, mentor, and author of Build Real Estate Wealth: Enjoy the Journey of Rental Property Investment.

What does it take to build the largest coffee company in an entire country from the ground up? Adam Jason spent years working in corporate America as a lawyer, grinding through the traditional path most people never question. It wasn't until a vacation to Colombia that everything changed. What started as a trip turned into a vision, and that vision turned into the Green Coffee Company. Adam joins the Wealth Juice Podcast to break down the entrepreneurial journey behind one of the most ambitious agribusiness stories in South America. With over 45 farms, 9 million coffee trees, and 350+ full-time employees spread across 10,000 acres in Colombia's Antioquia region, GCC didn't just enter the coffee industry, they rewrote the rules of it through full vertical integration and farm-direct supply chain control.   What makes Adam's story even more remarkable is how they funded it, not through traditional venture capital, but by raising money from individual investors in a model that Fortune Magazine called a blueprint for a "post-VC world." In this episode, Adam shares the real entrepreneurial lessons behind scaling a complex, multinational operation, landing partnerships with clients like the Chicago Cubs and LA Rams, securing $8M in sustainable financing, and building a brand that has been featured in Forbes, the Financial Times, and beyond.

If you’ve ever reached a goal and felt an unexpected emptiness, you’re not alone. Success has a way of delivering a moment, but not a lasting sense of meaning. In this REVERB conversation, Suzy Gray and Andy unpack why achievement alone falls short and what actually creates a meaningful life. Meaning isn’t found in what you accomplish, but in who you serve. When your life becomes a means to something beyond yourself, you trade the cycle of chasing the next win for something far more lasting. The challenge for every leader is to be intentional—because if you’re not, success can quietly drift into something that feels surprisingly empty.

Keith explores how long-running social and economic shifts are redefining the American Dream—especially for younger adults who are putting off milestones like moving out, starting families, and buying homes.  He connects these trends to today's housing scarcity, elongated renter stage, and what that means for long-term rental demand and real estate investors. Keith also zooms out to place the current moment in the sweep of American history, then welcomes Redfin Chief Economist Dr. Daryl Fairweather for a data-driven conversation on affordability, supply constraints, renting versus owning, and how demographic changes could shape the next wave of opportunities in both ownership and rental markets.

This is get rich education.   Keith Weinhold  1:54   Welcome to get rich Education. I'm your host. Keith Weinhold, the voice of real estate investing since 2014 almost nobody talks about a really important story going on in America today. And I find this really astonishing. I mean, you could almost never think of America the same way again, as you'll hear while you've got these other headlines out there, constantly sucking oxygen out of the room, like decisions from the White House and inflation and wars. One big story. It moves so slowly that it kind of creeps up on you. It is the jaw dropping change in American society over the last 40 years. And then we'll discuss its seismic changes for real estate. And this is sourced from a Census Bureau supplement. It's about how fewer us adults reach typical life milestones by age 30, and this is partly because more adults opt for college than in previous generations. Oh, well, college doesn't sound like such a bad thing. I'll get to that. And by the way, 30 is an age that has come and gone for me, so I've lived through it. We're looking at a period from 1985 to 2025 so 40 years first, it's those that live on their own. In 1985 it was 83% today it's just 67% so then the percentage that don't live on their own and probably live with their parents or roommates, that has doubled. You see even more drastic declines for other milestones since 1985 those that have ever married from 77% down to 45% those that live with a child and the responsibility that this entails that's fallen from 59% down to 36% and those that own a home 48 down to 29% and again, this is for all 30 year olds since 1985 this steady, sliding, relentless decline of those who live on their own, are married, have a child, or own a home, is pretty stunning, and this is inside the most powerful nation on Earth. And here's the thing, this pattern from about 40 years ago, it unabatedly crosses through booms and busts and bubbles and bailouts, sort of like it didn't even notice those things. Somewhat ironically, what's grown during this time is the percentage that have a bachelor's degree. It's gone from 25 up to 43% so therefore, here we. Are. We've got this generation that's better educated than ever, and yet more of them are stuck down on the launch pad. It's like we built better rockets yet we can't light the fuse. And before I help you make sense of this and tell you what I believe the main force behind it to be, you just got to consider what an unfathomable aberration this has all become. At age 25 James Madison was the key architect of the US Constitution. A lot of constitution signers were in their 20s and 30s. At age 21 Steve Jobs started Apple in a garage at 20 Bill Gates co founded Microsoft at 19 Mark Zuckerberg built Facebook in a dorm room. And sure, some of these are exceptional examples, but these people committed early, and then they figured it out on the fly.   Keith Weinhold  5:59   Well, what about women? The US birth rate has hit an all time record low, because today, nearly half of 30 year old women are still child free. Okay, so some of this is logical. You can connect a few dots here more time in school, yeah, all right, that means later marriages and later kids. Sure, student debt that equals financial Gravity Boots that keep you in place. Urban living means smaller spaces. But when you stack all this together, like I just laid out later, it's not just later anymore. It is really later. That is the huge change that really startles you when you put all of this together and again, remember, over this same time span, 1985 to today, I've mentioned before how the average age of the first time homebuyer has ballooned from 29 up to 40. I mean 40 that can really take some time to sink in. And again, that's just the average in high cost housing areas. This number could be 45 or higher. I mean, sheesh, the starter home is now like a midlife purchase, and it's made right around the time that your back starts to make decisions for you, consider where we are here now, the term home ownership that is increasingly linked to older people. Those things home ownership and older people are increasingly synonymous terms. Now, owning a home, it's like a luxury good for the already established. I mean, it is pretty jaw dropping. And one contributor to these friends is the lack of available housing supply, still a 60 to 70% collapse in some populous northeast states, but really something like that. That's just a small thing. When you amalgamate it all together, it's become cultural really. The bigger trend that underlies this decline in meeting life milestones at age 30 is that long term true inflation exceeds wage increases over the decades, but there are big social shifts too. And by the way, I left my parents home for good at age 23 and some surely do so younger than I did marriage and children, they are the classic triggers to buy a house, and the longer that these type of milestones get postponed, the more likely people are to favor then flexibility over committing to a mortgage, and this then means that there is an elongated renter stage of life. Renters are no longer just passing through they're no longer just graduated from college, renting a year or two and then buying a home. Instead, they are planting flags and really pounding in stakes. And there are countless surveys that show that renters value the ability of being able to relocate without the hassle of having to sell a house. And on top of all of these trends as America ages overall, something really interesting starts to happen. This is why single family rentals have really begun to shine over the past few years, and why you had this Advent and popularity of new build and build to rent rental properties coming onto the market because single families give people the feeling of home and space and privacy and a backyard for the dog, but yet at the same time, it's commitment light, a lighter version. Now apartments benefit too, of course, and for investors, this isn't just. The trend, this is a long term tailwind, fewer life transitions. It means more stable occupancy and longer renter life cycles that lead to fewer turnovers and vacancies and repairs, so less churn, more consistency and better predictability. So the bottom line here is that this delay of life milestones, it's not subtle. It is pretty seismic, and increasingly people say that the American dream no longer even includes home ownership. Demography is destiny, and they must rent from you. And here at GRE we invest like these trends are real, but I really want to emphasize that this elongated renter stage of life really is a long term, long tail phenomenon. And I want to emphasize that because, like I said last week, in the short term, we really aren't seeing any significant rent increases due to that affordability constraint. Now we're nearly five years after America had a big wave of consumer inflation, and that really hurt kind of people this age that I'm talking about, people in their 20s and 30s, that really hurt them the most because they don't own assets that compound with the concurrent asset price inflation, they only had to deal with the bad stuff, the consumer price inflation.    Keith Weinhold  11:30   And as America approaches its 250th birthday, let's think about how this era compares to other decades. And by the way, do you know what a 250th anniversary is called? I put a line about this in my newsletter that I sent you the other day. It is called a semiquincentennial, or, I guess, semi quincentennial. I don't think that anyone's going to be using that word after the fireworks. Semiquincentennial. That sounds like a word that an Economic Committee came up with during a recession to kind of mask a worse problem or something. I suppose that the etymology makes sense. If you break it down, quincentennial would be 500 and semi would be half of 500 in any case, as you try to compare this American era to others, listen to this from the parallel truth. This is about three minutes long, and then I'll come back to comment. It's America by decade, starting all the way back in the 1770s This is a decent summary here, although it can get unnecessarily gloomy at times.   Speaker 2  12:41   Imagine you could live in the United States one decade at a time, not the America you see in movies, not the America in textbooks, but the real America. Let's start with the 1770s the decade of independence. This is not a freedom story, yet. It's a war story. Most people are farmers, roads are mud, medicine is almost nothing. And if you're a young man, your future is simple, fight or starve. Then came the 1800s The decade of expansion. America is still small, but it's hungry, new land, new states, New promises, but there is also growing slavery. Native tribes are being pushed out, and the country is quietly building a conflict it can't avoid. Now it's the 1860s the decade America almost died. There is civil war, Brother versus brother. Cities are burning. If you lived here, you didn't watch history, you survived it. Next is the 1900s The decade of industrial America, factories, railroads, steel, oil. The country becomes a machine. Cities explode with workers, but life is brutal, long hours, dirty air, child labor, you might earn money, but you will pay with your health. It's the 1920s now, the decade of jazz and madness. This is America's first big party decade, cars, radio, Hollywood. Everyone thinks the future is unstoppable. Then came the 1930s the decade the party ended. The Great Depression happens, banks collapse and jobs disappear. People line up for bread. A man with a suit could be broke in one week. This decade teaches America one lesson, that money is not real until it's in your hand. It's the 1940s now the decade America became the world's boss. World War Two turns the US into the world's factory. While Europe is burning, America is building. And when the war ends, America comes out richer than anyone in history. It's the 1950s the decade of the American dream, suburbs, big houses, one salary supports a whole family, TV dinners, new cars, new highways. This is the decade America sells the world the idea of perfect life. Next came 1960s the decade of rebellion, civil rights, Vietnam assassinations, the country feels like it's splitting. You could be hopeful or terrified, sometimes both in the same week, 1970s was the decade the system started breaking, oil crisis, inflation, crime rate, and in 1971 America quietly changes money forever. The dollar stops being backed by gold. From this point onward, America runs on trust. It. The 1980s the decade of Wall Street, America, big business, big spending. The stock market becomes religion. America looks confident again, but the middle class starts weakening slowly. Then came the 1990s the decade America felt unstoppable. The Soviet Union has collapsed and the US feels untouchable. The internet is born. This is the decade where Americans truly believe that they have won. It's the 2000s now the decade of shock, 911, wars, fear, surveillance, then 2008 hits, banks crash, housing collapses, and America learns something painful. The people who caused the crisis don't pay for it. It's the 2000s and 10s, the decade of the digital trap. Social media becomes reality, politics becomes war. Everyone is online, but nobody feels connected. The economy recovers, but normal people don't. And finally, it's the 2020s. The decade, chaos became normal. Pandemic changes everything. Supply chains are collapsing, inflation returns, AI arrives and trust collapses. And by 2026 America is still rich, but it feels exhausted. People are working harder, owning less, and trusting nobody. And the strangest part is that America didn't collapse. It just slowly became a different country, not through invasion, not through revolution, but through decades of small changes that added up to a completely new reality. So the real question is, if you could choose one decade to live in? Which one would you pick?   Keith Weinhold  16:22    Yeah, which decade would you pick to live in? A lot of people say the 1950s where we had, like they touched on there the post war boom and how one salary could support an entire household. Some people say the 1990s because the Cold War ended, we had the start of Wide Internet use, and it's before you had these stark political divisions where people started to put party ahead of country. Now some people would probably say, Are you kidding me? I'd rather live in this decade right here. I can work from home more easily than I ever could have before. And I think you can make valid cases for all of those things. And speaking of this era, a quarter just ended, and we do this quarterly at most. It's our asset class rundown. Year over year, national home prices are only up about half of 1% per the nar 1% Case Shiller and totality, single family rent index shows just 1.3% rent growth. That's year over year. This quarter, the s, p5 100 was down 5% stocks of all types are down largely to the Iran war. The yield on the 10 year treasury note rose from 4.1 up to 4.3% due to higher inflation expectations. Why does that matter so much? That's what influences 30 year mortgage rates, which also rose from 6.2 up to 6.5% West Texas Intermediate oil prices soared from 59 bucks to over 100 last quarter. Gold hit an all time high of 5400 bucks in the quarter, and then fell to about 4600 by the end of the quarter. Other precious metals hit their all time peak. Bitcoin fell from 88k down to 68k That's the asset class rundown. I'll return with Redfin's chief economist, Dr Darrell fairweather and more. I'm Keith Weinhold. You're listening to get rich education.    Keith Weinhold  18:18   Let me throw out a simple idea. Sometimes doing nothing with your money is actually a decision. Leaving it parked might feel safe, but over time, purchasing power changes. So the conversation isn't about chasing returns, it's about intentionally placing money somewhere.

Welcome to GRE. Darrell fairweather,   Daryl Fairweather  21:06   thank you for having me.    Keith Weinhold  21:08   Hey, Daryl. I'd like to get to some of the statistics later in the things that Redfin does and compiles, but tell us about the behavioral side of the housing market that's often so interesting and evencounterintuitive   Daryl Fairweather  21:22   yeah, one of the most interesting things about the housing market is that people get really emotional when making this huge financial decision. It's something that people don't have a lot of practice with. Most people maybe buy a home once or twice in their whole life. There's so much social weight that's put on it. It's the American dream. There's a lot of family pressure, and there's a lot of hurting behavior that can happen. People get swept up in the moment. Maybe they overbid on a home, or maybe they miss out because other people are avoiding the housing market. So it's a really interesting place to both study psychology and economics.   Keith Weinhold  21:56   Sure, most homeowners are just inexperienced at this whole thing. Yeah, behavioral economics, it really has this strong gravity in real estate. Maybe something that you've said touches on what I call the Zestimate illusion. A lot of times, sellers anchor their price to not just the Zillow estimate, but sometimes even the peak sale price in the whole neighborhood, and that's what they think that they should get for their home?   Daryl Fairweather  22:21   Yeah, that does happen quite a bit. And I don't think a lot of people realize how much those estimates can move once a home is listed. The list price tends to move that estimate quite a lot. So it's not a fact. And those estimates don't really know many details about the home, like what upgrades might have happened, or what internally is happening within the home, like if people have gotten new appliances or gotten a new air conditioning system, it doesn't really take those things into account. So you shouldn't just anchor off of the Redfin estimate. You should definitely talk to an agent. Look at the comps. The comps can tell you a lot in terms of what homes have sold for recently, and then track your local market in terms of whether it is going up in value or down in value, because those comps might be a little bit stale, and you have to adjust for where the market is right now.   Keith Weinhold  23:06   There's some really good points there. And when I think of the behavioral side of economics in the real estate market, another nascent thing that comes to mind Darrell, is the rate shock paralysis that really set in in America in 2022 mortgage rates are still historically on the low side. But few people think about it that way. They're really swayed by the recency bias   Daryl Fairweather  23:31   yes. And one thing to take into account, though, is how much home prices have gone up since the last time rates were this high. So if you're looking at the monthly mortgage payment and how much that is compared to people's monthly incomes, it is quite expensive to buy a home. In most metros, you cannot afford to buy a home on the local median income. There's only maybe four metros that are in the middle of the country where it's still affordable to buy a home on a middle class salary. So combined the rate and the price those mortgage payments are still quite expensive, although they have gotten slightly more affordable since last year because rates are slightly lower than last year, they did come up a bit with, you know, oil prices coming up, but still, compared to last year, rates are a bit lower and a bit more affordable to get a home.   Keith Weinhold  24:13   And of course, all this is besides the point that those 2021, mortgage rates, they were born out of a collapsing economy, and I don't think that we really want that either. But yes, to your point about affordability, that's been such a buzzword in the housing market for quite a while, and for good reason. It wasn't very long ago that we reached a 40 year low in affordability. Can you tell us about what can improve affordability next? Darrell or what's most likely to happen? For example, it seems like insurance rate increases have really leveled off.   Daryl Fairweather  24:50   Yes, the reason why affordability is so bad, especially in coastal cities, the places that have the most opportunities, is because of a lack of supply. Existing homeowners, they are fine. They like when their home goes up in value, but it really is a problem for first time homebuyers, when prices just keep climbing and when new housing gets proposed, it's often the existing homeowners who are blocking that housing from getting built, and so supply is constrained. You can see this very clearly in a place like San Francisco, which had a huge economic boom in the 2010s yet housing did not keep up with all of the job opportunities that were coming to the area, and when you have all these people moving in with higher incomes, it drives up prices when there isn't adequate supply. You take Austin as another example. Austin had a huge boom during the pandemic, but supply responded. Builders built, there was a lot of development that happened, and as a result, prices came right back down. They're still above where they were pre pandemic, but nowhere near the heights that we saw back in 2021 so it just goes to show that when you allow supply to get built, it does help keep prices more moderate and keep things more affordable.   Keith Weinhold  25:59   Yes, and nimbyism is rampant, is consumer inflation or some of the other big forces out there, for sure, but yes, this national dearth of supply something that's existed even well before the pandemic, for example, it's bounced back somewhat, but still not quite enough, and it's really part of what, in my opinion, has helped support housing prices, even when mortgage rates tripled back in 2022 Can you tell us more what you believe about the future of housing supply with all the data that you do with there at Redfin Daryl,   Daryl Fairweather  26:37   housing supply improved a bit during the pandemic, but we're still far below What we need in order to make housing more accessible to middle class people. But there are new challenges that are coming. One that you mentioned is insurance. Insurance costs are going up. So even if you have a fixed rate mortgage and you've locked that in, you still have to worry about the rising cost of ownership because of insurance costs are going up. Property taxes are going up in many places, and maintenance costs are increasing. So that is going to make home ownership, and just the cost of ownership in general, whether you're an investor or an owner occupant, more expensive moving forward. And that's going to vary depending on where you are. There going to be some parts of the country where insurance goes up much faster, like in Florida, and other parts where insurance will probably be more stable like in the Midwest and Great Lakes region. So it's important now even more so to really research the neighborhood, research the home, and figure out how those expenses could increase in the future.   Keith Weinhold  27:32   Yeah, here we are in this housing market where, you know, Darrell, I think of it in a lot of ways, is, you know, maybe for three years now, we've largely been stuck in the mud, much of it due to lower supply, where we have a lower overall proportion of both buyers and sellers.   Daryl Fairweather  27:48   Yeah, what's happening right now is really an hangover from the pandemic, because so many people locked in 3% mortgage rates during the pandemic, and if those homeowners were to sell and buy again. Even if they bought the same priced home, they would end up paying more in their monthly mortgage payment because of how much higher mortgage rates are, and that's holding back supply quite significantly. It's the reason why prices have not come down despite rates going up, is because the higher rates are holding back both demand and supply at the same time, and contributing to the overall lack of inventory that's out there,   Keith Weinhold  28:24   this aberration where we have a big proportion of American homeowners living in homes where if they tried to repurchase that home at today's terms, they couldn't even do it. To your point about people not wanting to move, and that's a big reason why they almost can't. They might pay more in rent elsewhere for a like property if they were to sell what they own, if those still locked in terms and Darrell here, I think, you know, our audience is largely real estate investors, a lot of them investing in one to four unit properties. So with what you're seeing there at Redfin. And I think a lot of us know that, yeah, rent growth has been pretty slow as well. What do you see for rents in 2026 and perhaps 2027   Daryl Fairweather  29:08   originally, when we went to go do our predictions for 2026 we said that rents were going to increase this year. Now, I think that rents will continue to stay flat, and that's because there's still a lack of demand for for sale housing. People are staying in the rental market, but people are overall tightening their budgets because they're worried about the economy. They're worried about inflation. So if they can, you know, get roommates or live with family, they're going to choose to do that to keep their overall expenses lower, which will reduce demand for both for sale housing and for rental housing. And I think a lot of home sellers, they've tried to sell their homes. We saw many people try to sell their homes last year and then end up delisting their homes, and they're trying again. We saw more of those people come back in January, but I think those people are going to continue to kind of try to test the market, be a bit disappointed that there isn't enough demand, and then some of. Up for sale housing will end up as rental housing. Just driving around my neighborhood, I see so many rental signs on single family homes that I never saw before, almost more for rent signs, and I'm seeing for sale signs, so that added inventory from these accidental landlords who would like to move but don't want to give up their mortgage rate is going to increase the supply of single family rentals, and that will mean more competition for those investors that are trying to rent out the homes.   Keith Weinhold  30:27   Talk to us about rental occupancy. That's something that we're seeing at a historic low in apartment buildings, for one thing. But can you talk to us about what you see for future occupancy levels of both residential one to fours and apartments. Going forward,   Daryl Fairweather  30:43   a lot of new supply came online during the pandemic, especially in places that build a lot of condos. Many one bedroom or zero bedroom condos got built, and then those are really difficult to rent out, because, you know, they're just not that attractive. We really have more of a shortage of types of housing that's appropriate for families and those one bedroom units that are really targeted at like affluent young people. There aren't that many affluent people right now, so they're they're difficult to rent out. I think that trend is pretty much over. We're not seeing too many more condos being developed because the condos that were developed during the pandemic are still having trouble finding owners or finding renters in those apartment buildings. Now, I think we're going to start to see an uptick in single family rental vacancy, because I think a lot of those people who would like to sell their homes are having trouble selling their homes because of how mortgage rates are and how skittish people are about making a commitment to ownership right now, and they're going to alternatively try to rent out those and that will mean more availability of those rentals and not as much pressure on rents to go up in that segment of the market.   Keith Weinhold  31:51   Woe for the builder that targeted young, affluent types, they don't really exist so much anymore. That's really pretty interesting. Well, Darrell, do you have any last thoughts overall about the housing market? Maybe something I didn't think about asking you that's really important, whether that's for an investor or a prospective homeowner.    Daryl Fairweather  32:12   Yeah, I think if I was an investor right now, I would be paying attention to what economists and housing people call the silver tsunami that's older generations starting to sell their homes. We did a study recently that showed that people who are 70 years and above have as much wealth and housing as middle aged people, which is the first time that group has exceeded in terms of the wealth that they hold. And if you're 70 plus, there's definitely a clock ticking on how long you're going to stay in that home, which means that a lot of new inventory will become available in those homes. They probably need work. They probably need some renovations, and that could be a really great opportunity for an investor to buy a home that maybe has been neglected for a while because it's been a senior living in there who hasn't been really keeping it up to date. You can renovate it and perhaps sell it again to a younger buyer by doing some updates and make a nice profit there.    Speaker 3  33:03   Oh, well, Daryl, this has been a great update laced with plenty of practical things that someone can actually do. Do you have a resource you'd like to share in case our audience would like to connect?   Daryl Fairweather  33:16   Yes, you can find me basically on any social media channel. I'd recommend checking you out on YouTube to start. And then if you would like data on what's happening in your local housing market, you can check out the Redfin data center. Just Google Redfin data center, it'll bring you right there. And you can find lots of local data on your market,   Keith Weinhold  33:34   Daryl Fairweather. It's been great having you here on the show.   Daryl Fairweather  33:37    Thank you.   Keith Weinhold  33:44   Yeah, insightful material from Dr Darrell fairweather today, no end to the housing scarcity in sight. She says, rents continue to stay flat, partly due to this accidental landlord. They didn't plan to be a landlord, but they need to move and yet they don't want to sell the single family home that they got with a good owner occupied financing a few years ago. And the reason that's a headwind for single family investors, because it keeps more rental supply on the market. Last week, I touched on how you should not expect rent increases in the near term, I own a lot of single family rentals myself, and I am not getting rent increases. It's not so much that single family vacancies are high now, but apartment building vacancies are high. That fact alone that actually does hurt the single family rental market a little, because even though a renter might desire a single family, and maybe you think, Well, an apartment couldn't compete with that feeling. But yet, if an apartment is so much cheaper than the single family, and they often are now, well then that renter will go for the cheap apartment instead the one. You can think of Redfin is that they're part Zillow, part real estate agent, and part data company, and they can give you early signals on things like buyer demand and price direction and days on market, those types of indicators. So for the latest housing market research and news, you can do a search for the Redfin data center, and then for Daryl, start on YouTube. You can follow her on x at fairweather PhD, thanks to Dr Darrell fairweather today, until next week, I'm your host.

Chicago in the 1920s is often remembered for the rise of organized crime and it's larger than life leaders like Al Capone and Johnny Torrio. While these men and their organizations surely shaped the city's identity, their infamy and influence were, at least for a short time, rivaled by a group of young women whose murderous acts would dominate headlines in papers around the country throughout the decade. While Beulah Annan and Belva Gardner—the real-life inspiration for the musical Chicago—were arguably the most well known of the female murders from this era, their famous murders were preceded by the equally sensationalized murder spree of Tillie Klimek. Between 1914 and 1921, Klimek was believed to have killed as many as seven people including four husbands. While her crimes would ultimately land her in the Illinois State Penitentiary for the rest of her life, her exploits and criminal trial were sensational and occupied the front pages of city newspapers for years.
