If you've ever been rejected, felt insecure, underestimated, or unsure whether you're "good enough" to achieve your dreams, this conversation will show you how a positive mindset and betting on yourself can turn rejection into redirection that leads to an even better opportunity. In this powerful and inspirational episode, I'm sitting down with Hala Taha—an entrepreneur who hosts one of the top podcasts in the world (Young and Profiting) and built a media empire (YAP Media)—to uncover the story behind her rise from an unpaid intern to one of the most influential voices in podcasting and media.  Hala's journey to success certainly wasn't linear. She's been fired, rejected, overlooked, and discouraged, but with pure resilience and determination, she used each setback to sharpen her skills, build her brand, and expand her vision. You'll hear how she used manifestation and affirmations to break through imposter syndrome and continued stacking skills to build a thriving media empire. Whether you're an aspiring entrepreneur or simply ready for your next chapter, Hala's story proves that you don't have to wait for permission to succeed; you just need self-belief and a positive mindset to get started. KEY TAKEAWAYS Why Hala's Dad has been a huge inspiration in her life and many others A positive mindset can turn rejection into a new opportunity How to create your own lane when gatekeepers say “no” Making the shift from an imposter syndrome mindset to an empowered one The power of skill stacking to fuel long-term success Why self-belief and the pursuit of excellence are business superpowers Get The Full Show Notes To get full access to today's show notes, including audio, transcript, and links to all the resources mentioned, visit MiracleMorning.com/588 Subscribe, Rate & Review I would love if you could subscribe to the podcast and leave an honest rating & review.

Episode #206 In this Fasting Q&A episode, hosted by Coach Lisa Chance, Dr. Jason Fung answers questions from the TFM Community: Are there common strategies that help to avoid the common pitfalls of Ramadan, like late night eating, overeating, or accidentally doing OMAD for too long and slowing down the metabolic rate? [01:07] Concerns about off-label use of GLP-1s. Some medical professionals seem to be prescribing GLP-1 medications for anti-aging/longevity purposes in people who aren't overweight or diabetic. What do you think about the trend of “microdosing” GLP-1s as a preventative health measure? [02:36] Are there further short and long-term side effects of GLP-1s coming to light? [06:36] Are there ethical concerns around supply issues with GLP-1s due to increased demand from off-label use? [ 10:12] Are there bioethical concerns about GLP-1s that doctors should be discussing with patients? [12:03] Can you address how people with Type 1 diabetes can develop insulin resistance similar to those with Type 2, sometimes referred to as ‘double diabetes'? [16:21] How concerning is an elevated Lp(a) and how can you lower it? [20:47] Do you know of research or trials with fasting to reduce prostate size?  [26:28] Can someone who is considering kidney donation fast/fat fast? [29:08] I'm seeing many reputable sources saying that the claims against seed oils aren't actually based in the science. I'm curious whether Dr. Fung's opinion has evolved on this?

Vrijdag 16 mei Jazzpodium De Tor: een avond gewijd aan de presentatie van de LP (langspeelplaat) van Sebastian Altekamp(piano) en Ruud Ouwehand (contrabas). De plaat bevat een registratie van een Tor-concert van twee jaar terug. Acht stukken daarop, alle Ouwehand-composities. Het betreffende concert was meer een masterclass dan een opnames-sessie. Daarom in deze All That Jazzz niet alleen de stukken die toen werden gespeeld, maar ook de toelichtingen en uitleg van Ruud Ouwehand bij zijn composities. Het geheel werd opgenomen en geproduceerd door Bas Ouwehand.

Wayne Courreges III is a Marine Corps veteran and the founder of CRI Partners, a real estate investment firm focused on building generational wealth through multifamily and entrepreneurial assets. After a 16-year career in asset and property management with CBRE, Wayne transitioned full-time to real estate investing in 2023. He now leads a $50M portfolio that spans value-add multifamily, RV/boat storage development, and strategic commercial projects in Texas and the Southeast.     Make sure to download our free guide, 7 Questions Every Passive Investor Should Ask, here. Key Takeaways Wayne's journey from Marine Corps to CBRE to full-time real estate entrepreneur was fueled by long-term vision and layered income streams. Asset management and development experience allowed him to take calculated risks while building CRI Partners. His model includes multifamily investments (80%) and entrepreneurial projects like RV/boat storage and mixed-use developments (20%). For passive investors, education is key—ask the right questions, vet the sponsor, and understand the deal before wiring money. Taking action and surrounding yourself with experienced mentors are essential to building momentum and avoiding costly mistakes.     Topics From W-2 to Full-Time Investor Started investing while working in commercial real estate at CBRE. Created income through asset management fees, acquisition fees, and development work before making the leap. Made the switch when he realized he couldn't serve both CBRE clients and investors at the level they deserved. Why Multifamily Is Still the Foundation 80% of his portfolio is traditional value-add multifamily across Houston and San Antonio. Focuses on deals in strong, secondary markets with stable rent growth and access to workforce housing. Prioritizes transparency, conservative underwriting, and investor trust. Entrepreneurial Investments: RV, Boat & Business Storage Developed a 20x50 enclosed storage facility based on lessons from a successful Huntsville, AL deal. Business tenants include HVAC companies, disaster response teams, stagers, athletic companies, ranchers, and state agencies. Facility design and location (highway visibility, 100k+ population) drive demand and retention. Diversification Through Local Development Acquired and rezoned 12 acres for a 150-unit multifamily development and SpringHill Suites hotel in Bryan, TX. Emphasizes that high-risk projects like these are only pursued when they're local and manageable. Maintains a disciplined approach—stabilize one asset before scaling the next. Educating Passive Investors Created PassiveInvestorCoaching.com to help LPs learn how to vet sponsors, markets, and opportunities. Teaches how to assess underwriting, ask better questions, and avoid the most common mistakes. Encourages LPs to start small and grow confidence through informed investing.    

I've been so lucky this week to cross paths with several beloved friends and colleagues, in some cases for the first time in ages. One of those friends of many years' standing is the legendary countertenor Drew Minter, with whom I made my very first appearances on the New York concert stage… well, a few years back now! Seeing Drew made me think not only to his influence on me in my early years of singing, but also of the influence of the earliest (and still to my mind the greatest) of all American countertenors, Russell Oberlin. A few years ago, I dedicated a pair of episodes to him, and today I present to you the second of those episodes, originally fashioned exclusively for my Patreon subscribers, yet another “refurbished” Countermelody episode that now sees the light of day. I explore Oberlin's performances of medieval and renaissance music, both with the New York Pro Musica (The Play of Daniel, Dufay, and Dowland) and with the Experiences Anonymes record label (Byrd and 13th Century French Polyphony). I also offer examples of Oberlin's expertise in performance of baroque music, offering two Bach arias (one performed with Leonard Bernstein, the other with Glenn Gould), and several Handel selections, including a complete cantata from one of his rarer LP releases. In addition, we hear a live excerpt of his Oberon in Midsummer Night's Dream opposite the late British soprano Joan Carlyle, as well as a surprising outing as one of the commedia dell'arte players in Strauss's Ariadne auf Naxos, opposite the Zerbinetta of the great African American coloratura soprano Mattiwilda Dobbs. There are additional surprises along the way. The episode opens with a heartfelt tribute to Drew, my reunion with whom prompted this episode in the first place. Countermelody is a podcast devoted to the glory and the power of the human voice raised in song. Singer and vocal aficionado Daniel Gundlach explores great singers of the past and present focusing in particular on those who are less well-remembered today than they should be. Daniel's lifetime in music as a professional countertenor, pianist, vocal coach, voice teacher, and journalist yields an exciting array of anecdotes, impressions, and “inside stories.” At Countermelody's core is the celebration of great singers of all stripes, their instruments, and the connection they make to the words they sing. By clicking on the following link (https://linktr.ee/CountermelodyPodcast) you can find the dedicated Countermelody website which contains additional content including artist photos and episode setlists.

The sky overcast, the air a bit chilly and flecked with an occasional rain drop. Spring is looking a bit subdued at the moment here in Brooklyn. All being said, there is still an energetic feeling when walking through the city and seeing the evening come alive with the comings and goings of a million people. Like a perfect soundtrack to a night time ride through New York, Margaux Gazur's forth-coming LP on Smallville gives feelings of introspection albeit with a bit of a twist. Through deft use of softer melodic pads, and interesting percussive patterns, Margaux keeps things fresh and lends an edge to a familiar auditory locale. Su Phu, coming at C1 on the double vinyl release (digital as well, so don't worry there) starts as a dark, rolling affair, with crunching textured sounds panning around rhythmic bass lines that persist throughout. As the track progresses, bright melodies come into play to lighten the mood and even contribute to a dynamic, ever shifting groove that constantly keeps your attention pinned. Margaux Gazur's Blurred Memories LP will be released out into the world on May 23rd. @margauxgazur @smallville-records www.instagram.com/margauxgazur www.instagram.com/smallville_records/ Write up by @huedj Follow us on social media: @itsdelayed linktr.ee/delayed www.delayed.nyc www.facebook.com/itsdelayed www.instagram.com/_____delayed www.youtube.com/@_____delayed Contact us: info@delayed.nyc

One of the biggest contributors of stress that is impacting millions of Americans right now is financial anxiety and economic uncertainty. In fact, according to a recent survey, 70% of the population is feeling the impact of the current economy. Not just mentally, but there's also a physical toll when your overall health, diet, and sleep habits start to slip. With that in mind, I'm sharing tips on mastering your mindset and three (3) simple steps that helped me turn things around from one of the darkest periods of my life in 2008, when I was drowning in debt, to doubling my income in just two months, even as the recession got worse. How did I do it? I leaned into what would become the Miracle Morning and the S.A.V.E.R.S. to focus on improving my financial situation. In doing so, I was able to stop my suffering and depression, regain my peace of mind, and start building momentum again. Whether you're struggling with inflation and the rising costs of groceries and basic needs or simply feeling stuck, these three steps can help you take action today and improve your situation, starting from the inside out. And always remember that your peace of mind is not determined by your paycheck but by your perspective. KEY TAKEAWAYS 70% of Americans are currently dealing with financial anxiety How the Miracle Morning and S.A.V.E.R.S. were created during my own personal financial crisis  Why mastering your mindset is the first step to overcoming financial stress.

Momentum is building! In this episode, David Johnston, VP of AP and retail operations at the NRF, tells Stefanie Hoover about his May 14th trip to The Hill. A select group of retail LP executives partnered with the NRF to visit members of Congress and the Senate who can help get CORCA across the finish line. David tells us about the changes to the bill and how the NRF is supporting retailers. Timing is everything, and things look promising for this revised version of the bill, which has bicameral, bipartisan, and broad retail and supply chain industry support. David and Stefanie also talk about what attendees can look forward to at this year's NRF PROTECT conference in Dallas, Texas June 23-25.

Grammy-winners, Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductees, and big time hit-makers The Doobie Brothers have still got it. On June 6, they will release their 16th studio album Walk This Road. It’s the foursome’s first new record in over forty years, and it was produced right here in Los Angeles. Written by frontman Michael McDonald (as all of the songs on the new LP are), “Learn To Let Go” radiates the band’s core essence through that signature sound that we all know and love.

What recourse do limited partners have when their fund is being mismanaged? Do triple net leases (NNN) offer safety in an uncertain economy? In this episode, we're delving into a recent LP-led succession that underscores the latent power of passive investors and a low-risk investing strategy that delivers steady returns in volatile markets. Today, we're joined by Zane Schartz, president of Freedom CRE and a specialist in single-tenant, triple net investing. After a coalition of LPs called upon Zane to stabilize their private equity fund, he spent months navigating an uncooperative handoff and enduring personal attacks. In this episode, he reflects on invaluable lessons learned from the “hardest year” of his life and shares how he's now helping people build wealth through passive real estate investing. With institutional-grade tenants, long-term leases, and minimal operational requirements, NNN investments offer a rare blend of stability and simplicity. If you're an LP looking to understand your rights or explore recession-resistant strategies like NNN real estate, today's show delivers real-world insight from the front lines of a fund turnaround and its auspicious aftermath.

Maren Morris has spent her career bouncing between country and pop. Her latest album Dreamsicle embraces the latter more than her previous LP, without breaking away from her Nashville roots entirely. Morris joins us for a Listening Party.

We recently covered the topic of "all killer, no filler" albums, but what about the perfect single side of a record? If the physical time and space limitations of a vinyl LP or a cassette must exist, why not do something compelling? Is it all poppycock...or cockypop?!? You make the call! Our Third Lad for this exploration is frontman/saxophonist/multi-instrumentalist Dan Voznick, aka Alec Tension from underground '80s post-punk band Afterimage. Referred to in the Los Angeles Times as "LA's Joy Division" back in the day, Afterimage created a sound that was hypnotic, skittery and chilly, but is also adventurous, playful and complex. The original lineup of the band (Alec Tension, A Produce, Rich Evac and Holland DeNuzzio) only stayed together for a couple of years and released a scant discography of one single ("Strange Confession"/"The Long Walk") and an EP (Fade In), both in 1981. Those original recordings, plus a generous helping of unreleased demos and live tracks, are now available from Independent Project Records on the new retrospective compilation Faces to Hide. Out now on double LP (available in both black and opaque white), special edition CD and digital formats, Faces to Hide proves as scathing, urgent, taut, angular and gripping as Afterimage's scarce but unforgettable output must have sounded more than forty years ago. Packaged with extensive, career-spanning liner notes by noted journalist Richie Unterberger and previously unseen band photos, Faces to Hide also features Independent Project Records' signature hand letterpress-printed custom design for the vinyl and CD packaging.  Thanks to Josh Mills from It's Alive Media for the introduction and coordination!

We're back to discuss BÖC's third album Secret Treaties (1974). It's a lot of things: definitely their first gold LP, probably their weirdest, and possibly their most thematically consistent. Inarguably it is a creative triumph for Eric Bloom (while ironically also serving as a creative low point for Buck Dharma). This is a big one, folks.

Jonah shares the full arc of his real estate journey—from early value-add deals in Brooklyn to large-scale multifamily, hospitality, and international development in Portugal.

Welcome back to Tank Talks! In this episode, host Matt Cohen sits down with John Ruffolo to dissect the latest turbulence in venture capital, political uncertainty, and Canada's looming economic challenges. From shrinking VC deals to a controversial budget delay, this conversation cuts through the noise to reveal what's really happening beneath the headlines.* The steepest drop in Canadian VC deal count since 2020* Seed rounds oversubscribed by U.S. funds, while Series A bars skyrocket* Growth equity freezes as Canadian LPs hunker down* The “denominator effect” myth dies in a two-week market rally* Cabinet curveballs: Tim Hodgson calms resource markets, but policy vacuum lingers* Can Ottawa really cut taxes without a budget vote?* Why investors fear 18 months of fiscal radio silenceVenture Capital in Crisis: Deals Down, Dollars Up (00:00:02)Canada's VC market showed worrying signs in Q1 2025, with just 116 deals - the lowest since 2020 (seed) and 2021 (pre-seed). While total investment held at $1.26B, this was propped up by large late-stage rounds. U.S. investors retreated, forcing startups to rely on shaky domestic funding. AI deals masked deeper weakness - excluding them, the market looked "very, very low." The data reveals growing risk aversion, particularly at early stages, threatening Canada's innovation pipeline as capital becomes increasingly concentrated in fewer, later-stage companies.John's Take: If early-stage funding collapses, innovation dies with it. We're already seeing the warning signs - fewer deals mean fewer future companies getting to Series A and beyond. The government doesn't seem to grasp how critical this pipeline is.Risk Aversion: Canada vs. U.S. (00:02:00)The U.S. market is surging, stocks rally, IPOs soar (eToro jumps 40% on debut), and capital flows despite turbulence. Canada, meanwhile, pulls back as local investors freeze while Americans dive in. The denominator effect fades as rebounding public markets revive LP confidence, unlocking fresh venture funding. Optimism returns, but risks linger beneath the rally's glow. Will momentum hold, or will volatility resurface? For now, the bulls are running, and the world is watching.John's Take: This is classic Canadian risk aversion - we pull back exactly when we should be deploying. In the U.S., they see volatility as an opportunity. Here? We see it as a reason to hide. It's economic self-sabotage.Carney's New Cabinet Sends Mixed Signals (00:11:24)Carney's cabinet shuffle has drawn scrutiny, particularly with controversial picks like Evan Solomon overseeing AI compute. Meanwhile, the budget delay, now pushed to Fall, leaves Canada without a fiscal roadmap for 18 months since the disastrous April 2024 plan. Though the government promises middle-income tax relief, the lack of legislative details fuels skepticism. Is this genuine reform or mere political theater? With uncertainty looming, critics question whether Carney's agenda can deliver.John's Take: Kicking the budget down the road is disrespectful to businesses making investment decisions. You can't claim to be pro-market while operating in a policy vacuum. This isn't governance - it's negligence.Higher Bars, Shifting Tides in Startup Funding (00:06:50)Canadian startups now face tougher Series A requirements, with investors demanding Series B-level metrics like $3M+ revenue. Meanwhile, U.S. capital is pouring into seed rounds, oversubscribing deals as American funds seek early-stage bargains. Yet the later-stage market has frozen, with growth equity drying up amid rising risk aversion. The funding landscape is increasingly polarized, hot at the seed level, brutal for scaling companies. For founders, adaptability is now the ultimate test.John's Take: The U.S. is eating our lunch because they understand something we don't - downturns create winners. While our investors panic, theirs are backing the next generation of companies. We're being outplayed at every turn.The Bottom LineJohn's Final Warning: Canada is at a crossroads. Without urgent policy fixes and a cultural shift toward risk-taking, we'll wake up in five years wondering why all our best companies moved south. The time to act was yesterday.Connect with John Ruffolo on LinkedIn: https://ca.linkedin.com/in/joruffoloConnect with Matt Cohen on LinkedIn: https://ca.linkedin.com/in/matt-cohen1Visit the Ripple Ventures website: https://www.rippleventures.com/ This is a public episode.

In this chat, we get to meet Merrill Garbus of Tune-Yards. Garbus started Tune-Yards as a solo project, but quickly transformed into a duo with musical and life partner Nate Brenner, and they have now released their brand new LP, Better Dreaming, on 4AD. In this chat, Merrill and I go deep on the personal, global, emotional, and sociopolitical themes and inspirations behind the new record, as well as the production, writing, and composition process. We also touch a bit on Tune-Yards early years, and end up diving deep into the significance of art (both making it and having it in our lives), and of simply being alive, in this moment, now - and how radical that can be. Thank you for listening.

This week, we tackle the lofty, ambitious, sometimes bombastic topic of rock operas and concept albums. Most acknowledge that the rock opera was the outgrowth of the psychedelic era where, particularly in a post-Sgt. Pepper world, the rock n' roll album became an artistic statement. As musicians sought to expand and alter the fabric of pop music, “rock operas” with narratives, character development, and distinct movements were being explored on records like the Pretty Things' SF Sorrow (1968) and the Who's Tommy (1969). All rock operas are concept albums, but not all concept albums are rock operas. The concept album is a collection of songs that are tied together to present an overarching theme, going back as far as Woody Guthrie's Dust Bowl Ballads, a 1940 collection of 78 rpm records that stayed true to the title.  Joining us as our Third Lad for this discussion today is Dave Gebroe, the creator & host of the music obsessives' podcast Discograffiti. Dave dives into amazingly deep and immaculately researched discussions on the catalogues of a wide range of artists - if not with the artist themselves, then with a jaw-dropping roster of guests. Dave is also a filmmaker, writing, producing and directing the movies The Homeboy and Zombie Honeymoon. If that weren't enough, he's masterminded a 2 LP tribute to-slash-reimagining of Lou Reed's much maligned album Metal Machine Music, and I believe is working on a rock opera of his own.

Sandhya Seshadri is the founder of Engineered Capital, a firm focused on helping professionals grow their wealth through commercial real estate and alternative investments. With a background in engineering, an MBA in finance, and a successful career in stock trading, she became financially independent before shifting her focus to real estate. Since 2018, Sandhya has been an active multifamily syndicator and passive investor in multiple asset classes including oil & gas and tech funds, bringing her analytical skill set and passion for tax-efficient investing to her growing investor community.     Make sure to download our free guide, 7 Questions Every Passive Investor Should Ask, here. Key Takeaways Sandhya began investing in stocks but transitioned to real estate for better tax advantages and cash flow. She started as a passive investor in multifamily before becoming an active general partner. Rising interest rates reshaped her strategy, leading her to explore oil & gas and technology funds. Passive investing offers the ability to leverage other people's expertise while generating income and appreciation. Asset class diversification and risk tolerance should drive investment decisions, not just projected returns.     Topics From Engineering to Investing Started in corporate America but pursued investing to achieve financial independence. Learned to trade stocks and used that income to replace her W-2 job. Discovered real estate as a tax-advantaged strategy after hitting a tax ceiling with stock gains. Why Multifamily and Syndications Skipped single-family due to lack of appreciation and headaches from managing tenants and maintenance. Multifamily appealed due to professional property management, scalability, and the ability to raise capital from investors. Took the “passenger to pilot” approach—starting as an LP, then a co-GP, and finally a lead GP. Shifting the Strategy: From CRE to Alternatives Rising interest rates, property taxes, and insurance costs eroded multifamily cash flow. Pivoted to alternative investments that better suited current market conditions. Launched tech fund offerings for high-upside, long-term appreciation plays. Invested in oil & gas deals offering strong tax advantages and predictable cash flow backed by mineral rights. Carefully vets all deals personally before introducing them to investors. Oil & Gas Investing Explained Buys into mineral rights after oil is confirmed, reducing drilling risk. Returns often include 80% year-one depreciation via K-1 and cash flow within 24 months. No depreciation recapture and potential for 2.5–3x returns over a 7-year period. Great option for high-income professionals seeking tax relief and diversification. Investor Education and Risk Management Every asset class has its risks—invest small first, understand the model, and scale gradually. Focus on understanding the operator, the assumptions behind returns, and aligning with your personal goals. Diversify across asset types, hold periods, and cash flow profiles.    

Rising interest rates. Distressed deals. A frozen capital market… Sound familiar? Today I interviewed Randy Langenderfer, and he has been through it all—building 4,000+ units across Texas, Oklahoma, and Ohio.  You want to know what really sets him apart though?  His background in private equity at Carlyle, where he learned how to engineer cash flow like a Fortune 500 operator. In this episode, we unpack: The exact buy box Randy is targeting in 2025 (and why he's skipping certain markets) How Carlyle's approach to EBITDA growth directly applies to multifamily Why some distressed deals won't hit the market—and who gets first dibs The surprising reason he's sticking with single-asset syndications over funds Plus, Randy shares how hard lessons from the last cycle are shaping his new deals—and what every LP should look for before writing their next check.

This episode is incredibly long overdue but the stars aligned, and I had the chance to interview someone who has been instrumental in helping me become the man I am today. That person is none other than my mom, Julie Wilson. I can't wait for you to hear her story and mine from her perspective. You've heard me talk about many of the difficult chapters in my life—losing my sister, surviving a near-fatal car crash, battling cancer—but today, you'll hear those stories through the eyes of the woman who lived them right alongside me. And when I say literally, I mean literally beside me. My mom has been through more than most: the heartbreaking loss of a daughter (my sister), raising a rebellious teen (yep, that was me), watching me fight for my life multiple times, and most recently, surviving a serious fall that shattered her heel and broke her wrist. And yet, she remains one of the most joyful, optimistic, and resilient people I know. Her strength doesn't come from avoiding hardship—it comes from choosing laughter, faith, and service in the face of it. Whether you're a parent, a child, or someone simply navigating a tough season with life's curveballs, this episode is packed with love, wisdom, and great perspective. You'll learn how the positive mindset that I have today started when I was very young, why my family chooses to focus on the good things and not on the things that are out of our control, and how my mom lives with unshakable joy, even when life gets tough. KEY TAKEAWAYS How the words “Can't Change It” is more than a phrase—it's our way of life How my mom turned the loss of her daughter into a mission of healing for others Why giving tough love is necessary sometimes, especially when raising teenagers The positive mindset my mom had after a devastating fall from a ladder Her simple advice on true happiness and feeling young at heart That it's better to give than to receive and why my mom is compelled to help others Get The Full Show Notes To get full access to today's show notes, including audio, transcript, and links to all the resources mentioned, visit MiracleMorning.com/585 Subscribe, Rate & Review I would love if you could subscribe to the podcast and leave an honest rating & review.
