The International group "The Salt Collective" are releasing the follow-up to their critically acclaimed 2023 album debut, Life. Their second full-length release "A Brief History of Blindness" is a widescreen exploration of hope, memory, and resilience that features contributions from Aimee Mann, Mike Mills (R.E.M.), Andy Partridge (XTC), and Matthew Caws (Nada Surf) among others (writing credits and list of featured performers below). A Brief History of Blindness is being released on 12" LP vinyl, CD, digital download and streaming services by Propeller Sound Recordings November 21. While the Salt Collective's first outing was recorded remotely with many vocalists and instrumentalists working separately on multiple continents at different times, A Brief History of Blindness features the core musicians gathered in the same space interacting together in real time. The bulk of the music was laid down by Rob Ladd (The Connells) on drums, Gene Holder (The dB's) on bass, Stéphane Schück on guitars & sound design, Mitch Easter (Let's Active) on guitars, and Wes Lachot on organ, piano, and Nord. These full-band sessions took place at the Fidelitorium (Kernersville, NC), with other work at Studio Ferber (Paris), and various home studios. The album was produced by Chris Stamey and mastered by Dave McNair. The first single, "In the Shadow of the Moon," followed up by the groups second single "Cloud To Cloud."

In June, I made the executive decision to do something bold (and maybe a little crazy) with my business.In the previous episode, I dug into how the business has evolved from being an agency to teaching and supporting agency owners as they implement the model we developed. And I talked about when and how I realized that No BS Agencies Mastery needed to make a bold move.In this episode, I dive into the details of our new offer, why we designed the way we did, and why anyone who's hustling to get more premium clients needs to come check out the No BS Clients Lab and join us.Tune into this episode to hear:The lightbulb moment when I realized I was teaching a process I wasn't using for myselfThe fears I had to overcome about this my business decisionWhy I took the leap to share the LP process more widelyWho the No BS Clients Lab is for, what it teaches, and what's includedHow this process builds skills and authority that AI can't compete withResources:No BS Clients LabNo BS Agencies MasteryThe Price to Freedom Calculator™No BS LaunchpadNo BS Agency Owners Free Facebook GroupStart reading the first chapter of my bookPiasilva.com

Do you ever find yourself going through life on autopilot—settling for routines, habits, and outcomes that fall short of what you truly want? Without even realizing it, we often accept mediocrity in our health, relationships, work, or personal growth by telling ourselves it's “good enough” or “better than most.” When we look back on our lives, the last thing anyone wants is to be overwhelmed with regret, wishing we had done things differently, that we hadn't settled for less, and instead lived in alignment with what mattered most. As a follow-up to last week's episode, today I'm sharing The Mediocrity Intervention: a five-step process to help you recognize where you're falling short of what matters most and how to rise above it. I'll walk you through the five (5) universal reasons we settle and give five simple steps to break free and realign with your highest potential. Mediocrity isn't an insult—it's a reality check. And my hope is that this episode will inspire you to raise your standards and take the first step by committing to stopping the pursuit of mediocrity and making excellence your baseline to live an extraordinary life. KEY TAKEAWAYS What mediocrity really means (and why it's not an insult) The five universal reasons we settle for less than we want How comfort zone addiction and short-term gratification keep us stuck Why lack of clarity leads to “good enough” instead of extraordinary The five-step Mediocrity Intervention to rise above settling Why courage is the antidote to mediocrity 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/606 Subscribe, Rate & Review I would love if you could subscribe to the podcast and leave an honest rating & review.

Host Chris Lopez sits down with Peter, an anesthesiologist who became an LP and then a GP, to unpack the career jolt that pushed him into real estate and the systems he built to bring more transparency and advocacy to LPs through Ascent Equity Group. Peter shares his first $5k crowdfunding check (and that unforgettable $47 distribution), lessons from launching in the tough 2021 vintage, and how his team handled rate/insurance shocks, lender work-outs, and communication when things got bumpy. We also dive into why he's been using preferred equity in today's market—including a 12.5–13.5% monthly-pay deal that returned capital in ~12 months and where he's hunting now (hospitality, selective retail, and medical office) with a likely recession window following the Fed's pivot. Key Takeaways: From OR to LP to GP: how a broken partnership promise sparked a plan for autonomy and passive income Preferred equity in practice: monthly pay, collateralized position, and why it's a “right now” tool—not forever 2021 lessons: short-term debt + fast-rising rates/insurance = humility, capital infusions, and relentless communication Macro setup: Fed pivot → typical recession lag (~10–11 months) → prepare capital/relationships for distressed opportunities What's next: multifamily fundamentals (supply pause, sticky demand), selective hospitality/retail, and a special eye on medical office Disclaimer The content of this podcast is for informational purposes only.

He may have only turned 40 this year, but Joshua Hedley figures he's already been gigging for 75% of his life. Infatuated with the fiddle and western swing from an early age, he began performing steadily at 12 and had released his first album by 15, before moving from Florida to Nashville, playing almost 60 hours a week up and down Lower Broadway. Ahead of the late-October release of All Hat -- his third LP, courtesy of New West Records -- Joshua chats today about failing in public, the similarities between pro wrestling and Music City's cutthroat country-western food chain, and why he's finally not nervous to put an album out. Pre-order All Hat from JoshuaHedley.com, and keep up with his weekly gigs in and around Nashville via @joshuahedley on Instagram.
How tough was it to pick our "album bookends" this week (that is, albums that have a great first and last track)? You could say that's impossible, that's im-poss-i-ble. But, fortunately, we're everywhere that you are! We're un-alone for this discussion, because (if you couldn't have guessed) we have guitarist/singer/songwriter Steve Barton and drummer Dave Scheff from one of the best American bands of the '80s, Translator! Translator released four excellent albums for 415/Columbia: Heartbeats and Triggers (1982), No Time Like Now (1983), Translator (1985), and Evening of the Harvest (1986). At the end of their initial run, they played a final gig at the Farm in their home base of San Francisco. Captured on a cassette, nearly 40 years later, that incendiary live set is out for the first time on download, LP, or CD as Beyond Today: Live at the Farm San Francisco: 1986. from Liberation Hall. https://translatorlive.bandcamp.com As an added treat for fans, Beyond Today also contains two brand new Translator songs, "These Days to Come" and "With Your Dreams", both wonderfully mixed by Ed Stasium.

Paul Riedl and Morris Kolontyrsky of Blood Incantation discuss the incredible 1st year of the album "Absolute Elsewhere", how it's transformed their lives and art, the creation of the record, the band's deep interest in vinyl collecting and lots more. Enter to win a signed vinyl copy of "Absolute Elsewhere" by becoming a sponsor at Patreon.com/VinylGuide Topics Include: Absolute Elsewhere transformed their lives: bigger venues, mainstream press, entirely new audiences. Album allows new stage production; band already writing faster than ever before. Now headlining shows in US; Europe tours were always headliners, just smaller. Forbes called it one of most important death metal records in history. Record serves as gateway, exposing listeners to extreme metal and progressive influences. Vinyl LP format is their artistic endpoint; last two albums are side-long tracks. Twenty-minute sides provide perfect breathing room for their narrative-driven compositions and riffs. Maxed out Pro Tools voices at Hansa Studios during Absolute Elsewhere recording sessions. First three records recorded live on analog tape; complete takes, minimal punch-ins. Absolute Elsewhere used hybrid approach: drums on tape, then built digitally with Arthur. Recording live on tape creates collective synergy and tension they want captured. Band uses Oblique Strategies cards; asks "what would Trey, Chuck, or Eno do?" Paul designs all layouts; collects test pressings and creates prototype covers himself. Searching for roughly 200 more records; has specific rare pressings in mind. Weakling's Dead as Dreams LP extremely rare; basement flood destroyed most copies. Double album versus double LP distinction: complementary discs versus interrupted single work. Songs start with riffs that suggest where to go; excitable band keeps moving. Timewave Zero was critical palate cleanser enabling more holistic collaborative approach forward. Tangerine Dream collaboration manifested unexpectedly; Thorsten used vintage Edgar Froese Mellotron samples. Future dreams include Brian Eno, Steve Roach; already have secret collaborations lined up.

What happens when a febrile infant presents at 61 days old? Are they suddenly low risk for invasive bacterial infections? In this episode, we explore the gray zone of managing febrile infants aged 61–90 days with the help of two new clinical prediction rules from PECARN. Joining us are two powerhouses in pediatric emergency medicine: Dr. Nate Kuppermann and Dr. Paul Aronson, who walk us through their recent study published in Pediatrics. We discuss why prior research has traditionally stopped at 60 days, what the new data shows about risk in this slightly older age group, and how these rules might help guide clinical decision-making. This study fills a long-standing gap—but should we start using the rules now? Tune in for a nuanced discussion on sensitivity, missed cases, practical application, and the future of risk stratification in young infants with fever. What is your practice in terms of work-up of 2-3 month old febrile infants? Will this change what you do?

Welcome back to the EUCVC Summit Talks, where we bring you candid conversations with Europe's leading founders, corporate leaders, and investors shaping the future of venture collaboration.In this session, Mette Hoberg Tønnesen, CEO of The Link, joins Jeppe Høier, EUVC Corporates, for a candid conversation moderated by Andreas Munk Holm. Together they explore how corporate venture networks can outlive the 3.7-year average lifespan of CVCs, bridge the gap between startups and corporates, and unlock Europe's full potential as an alternative to US and Chinese capital.From translating corporate complexity for startups to tackling “startup theater” and making CVCs real value creators, this is a roadmap for corporates who want to build networks that actually last.
If someone asked you if your family, health, or relationships are your top priorities, you'd likely say, “Of course!”. But would your calendar or eating habits tell a different story? Today, I'm going to walk you through a simple three-step process to help you identify, affirm, and live in alignment with what matters most to you. This idea was inspired by a speech I gave at a mastermind, where I felt called to speak not about books or business, but about life's most important priorities. I'll share some of my own struggles with being hyper-focused on work and the powerful lessons I learned during my battle with cancer that forced me to reevaluate everything. My hope is that this episode inspires you to pause and reflect on your own life. I encourage you to set aside 10 minutes today to write down what matters most to you, why it matters, and one small change you can make this week to align your schedule with your values. Taking these simple steps now will help to ensure that years from now, you can look back on your life with pride, not regret.

On this week's episode of Best Ever Show, Ash and Amanda interview Ian Noble. Ian shares how fourteen years of running a family dry cleaning business led to burnout, a brutal COVID revenue collapse, and the realization that passion and systems matter more than social media hype about “boring businesses.” He explains his pivot to real estate as both an LP and fund-to-funds syndicator, why he favors low-risk private lending and mobile home parks, and how he structures deals so investors get equal or better terms than going direct. Ian and the hosts dig into operator due diligence, red flags like wild equity multiples, the realities of depreciation benefits, and why walking every property and backing only trusted teams is non-negotiable.

Harrison Riley's journey into real estate is anything but traditional. After building a small multifamily portfolio, he realized he didn't enjoy the property management grind and decided to shift his focus toward raising capital and building partnerships.In this episode, Harrison shares the lessons he learned from painful contractor mistakes, why he ultimately divested from Pittsburgh to focus on larger deals in Cleveland, and how he approaches building long-term relationships with LPs.

Chris Lopez is joined by co-hosts Jim Pfeifer and Paul Shannon for the September PassivePockets Pulse Check, our monthly roundup of what's moving passive real estate, the shifts we're making in our own portfolios, and what we expect next. We unpack the Fed's recent 25 bps cut (what actually changes for fixed vs. floating debt), why many LPs are rotating toward private credit, and the rules-of-thumb we're using right now for debt funds, multifamily, and development. Paul opens the hood on a heavy value-add 22-unit (50% vacant) targeting an ~11% yield-on-cost in an ~8 cap market, while Jim and Chris break down current debt yields, LTV guardrails, and how to think about liquidity. We also debut the Tool Tip of the Month and have a candid conversation about LP accountability, fraud vs. operator error vs. market risk, and how to use community to get smarter.

小狸醫師和我說,最近在醫療前線又明顯感受到流感案例大為增加。而近來因為10月1日要開打公費疫苗,有些朋友問我日本的流行狀況,這裡就來簡單整理一下,並和台灣比較。請看這張圖是日本的流行狀況,紅線是新冠,藍線是流感。 1.日本流感在去年冬天極大流行創下1999年以來新高之後,很快就躺平,來得快去得也快,2月以後就是很低度的流行了,直到現在。 2.新冠病毒在日本維持大概半年就會有一個波峰,剛剛過去的這個夏天又有一波流行,主要流行株是NB.1.8.1,和台灣目前流行株相同。目前正在高點,高峰可能快要下去了。 3.台灣的話狀況不太一樣。我們的流感一整年都有一定程度的流行,只是原本和日本同樣流行H1N1,近期H3N2有逐漸增加的趨勢。 羅一鈞署長表示,目前國內流感疫情上升,同時也伴隨著「流行型別轉換」,最近幾周A型流感類別H3N2已要超車H1N1,符合世衛年初觀察到H3N2已變,也因此更換疫苗株,去年H3N2疫苗株是泰國株、今年換成克羅埃西亞株。 黃立民老師表示,夏季流感疫情至今並未完全結束,但預估今年秋冬流感還是會有一波不小的疫情,觀察指標是目前流行的H1N1病毒株轉變為H3N2時,即可能出現一波疫情。 因此,儘管你之前得過流感,或是去年打過流感疫苗,因為台灣這個冬天可能流行的是新的H3N2,還是建議可以打疫苗。 4.新冠方面,台灣和日本一樣夏天有個大流行,且台灣夏季新冠的重症還有死亡數甚至是超過去年冬天流感的!不要因為新聞沒怎麼報就以為不重要,新冠一直在,沒有離開我們。對重症高風險族群每個人來說,新冠的威脅可能還是比流感高。台灣的這波夏天新冠疫情比日本早結束,現在雖處於低點波動,但全球近期新冠病毒陽性率呈上升趨勢,除東南亞、非洲以外,各區皆呈上升趨勢;日本、韓國、美國、加拿大近期疫情處高點。全球流行變異株現以XFG占比最高,其次為NB.1.8.1;鄰近地區如中國、香港、日本、韓國則以NB.1.8.1占比為高。 5.今年開打的莫德納新冠疫苗選用LP.8.1,和去年的JN.1差了九個胺基酸,較能有效針對最新流行株NB.1.8.1產生抗體。建議重症高風險族群考慮施打。 6.來個簡單結論給近期要去日本的朋友:最近在日本流行新冠(趨勢向下),在台灣流行流感(趨勢向上),再久一點可能日本的流感也會高起來。給大家參考。當然也別忘了,有需要的朋友要保包括醫療的旅遊平安險喔。 今年初的文章,還是可以看一下 日本流感進入大流行期 要打流感疫苗嗎?可以和新冠疫苗一起打嗎?左流右新? https://linshibi.com/?p=48579 東京海上日動日本旅遊保險,醫藥費、住院費、手術費以及送回國的醫療搬運費100%理賠,傳染病滑雪意外都賠,理賠上限1000萬日幣。保費便宜,但這要到日本才能上網投保,大家也可以參考。 詳情請看:旅平險海外突發疾病 請注意有無給付法定傳染病 美商安達 臺灣產物保險 旺旺友聯 南山人壽 https://linshibi.com/?p=48622 日本旅遊時就醫的注意事項 搜尋醫院 看病流程 醫療費用 保險理賠 推薦旅人求診App https://linshibi.com/?p=49095
Karey Barker is Founder and Managing Director of Cross Creek, a late-stage venture capital firm headquartered in Salt Lake City, Utah. She has over 25 years of broad public and private investment experience and holds a number of Board roles, including ARUP Laboratories. Our conversation walks through Karey's career which saw the unusual move from analysis of public equities into venture capital investing, and we hear why they are more similar than we might think. We move then to the current opportunity set in venture investing - particularly at the late stage of venture investing (within 1-2 years of going public) which is the expertise of Cross Creek. Karey discusses some of the sectors where she sees the most compelling opportunity sets, including areas likely to impact the consumer, some of which have been overlooked in the current market hype.We end with a reflection on lessons learned and the industry as it is today, from an LP and allocator perspective.

Hello Friends! We're back in Hermits land this month with a look at the only LP issued by the group in true stereo from start to finish, Hold On! (Music from the Original Sound Track). Recorded as such for the titular motion picture, this meant that for the first time we got to hear Herman's Hermits in both mono and true stereo, and it is truly glorious. This is a stereo mix with a lot of care in it's execution, and while the mono likely takes the cake, the stereo is a very enjoyable listen, with a few nice little differences throughout, including muted studio noise, differing fade-outs, and variable vocal echo. A Must to Avoid, this is not! Happy Listening, Frederick Patreon Email Instagram - @hypnoticfred

TJB South of the Border OK…I was having Tijuana Brass withdrawals. While I did play plenty of his music in Volume 222: A TJB Concert Rewind earlier this year, that was a special episode shortly after I saw Herb and the gang in concert. It's been over a year since I've pulled out one of the 11 records my dad had of one of his favorite groups. Since I grew up listening to his music, and have now seen him in concert three times, Alpert has been one of MY favorite artists as well. So, get ready to hear from this group's third album that features music from south of the border in Volume 248: Down Mexico Way. For more information about this album, see the Discogs webpage for it.

Arcana Coelestia 7764 THE INTERNAL SENSE.Verses 1-3. And Jehovah said unto Moses, Yet one plague more will I bring upon Pharaoh, and upon Egypt; afterward he will let you go from hence; when he lets everything go, driving he shall drive you out from hence. Say now in the ears of the people, and let them ask a man from his companion, and a woman from her companion, vessels of silver and vessels of gold. And Jehovah gave the people favor in the eyes of the Egyptians. Moreover, the man Moses was very great in the land of Egypt, in the eyes of Pharaoh's servants, and in the eyes of the people. “And Jehovah said unto Moses,” signifies instruction; “Yet one plague more will I bring upon Pharaoh, and upon Egypt,” signifies the end of vastation, which is damnation; “afterward he will let you go from hence,” signifies that then they will be left; “when he lets everything go, driving he shall drive you out from hence,” signifies that they will leave them completely, and will hold them in aversion, and shun their presence; “say now in the ears of the people,” signifies instruction and obedience; “and let them ask a man from his companion, and a woman from her companion, vessels of silver and vessels of gold,” signifies that the memory-knowledges of truth and good taken away from the evil who have been of the church, will be bestowed upon the good who are of it; “and Jehovah gave the people favor in the eyes of the Egyptians,” signifies the fear of those who are in evils on account of those who are of the spiritual church, by reason of the plagues; “moreover, the man Moses was very great in the land of Egypt,” signifies respect now for truth Divine; “in the eyes of Pharaoh's servants, and in the eyes of the people,” signifies with those who were in subordination there. AC 6914... by “favor” is not meant favor, for they who are in falsities and evils never have any favor for anyone; but if they benefit anyone, or do not injure him, it is from fear of plagues; this is the source of their favor, and this is the “favor” which is here meant in the internal sense. The internal sense sets forth things such as they are, not such as they are presented in the letter; and applies each to the subject. That this is so, is plain also from what follows concerning the Egyptians, in that they did not let the sons of Israel go from any favor, but from fear on account of further plagues (Exodus 11:1; 12:33). Third Round posts are short audio clips taken from Round 3 comments in the online Logopraxis Life Group meetings. The aim is to maintain focus on understanding the Text's application to the inner life while reinforcing key LP principles highlighted in the exchanges.

Hey everyone, Cody Rich here from The Rich Outdoors, and man, do I have a banger of an episode for you today! I sat down with my buddy Dillon Dietz, the mastermind behind "Elk Don't Exist," and we dove deep into his epic Montana archery bull story after 12 years of grinding. We're talking solo pack-outs in hailstorms, finally tagging out early, and how ditching the over-calling game changed everything. Dillon shares the highs and lows – from freezing in thunderstorms to that heart-pounding 30-yard shot on a funky five-by-clubby freak. We geek out on early-season tactics, why getting into the "nucleus" of elk chaos is key, and lessons from my own tough private land hunt where blind calling saved the day. If you're chasing your first bull or just love those raw, real hunting yarns that fire you up for September, this one's packed with tips, laughs, and motivation to keep pushing. Let's dive in! Sponsored by Stone Glacier Today's episode is brought to you by Stone Glacier. I've been hauling with their packs for years, and this season I'm running the new Avro 6400 – big enough for a 10-day backcountry grind but streamlined for day hunts too.

Head over to stoneglacier.com and gear up. Sponsored by Treer Tripods This episode is also brought to you by Treer Tripods.

Show Notes 0:00 - Intro and Sponsors Kicking off with shoutouts to Stone Glacier and Treer Tripods, plus a quick hype on the episode's elk hunting vibes. 3:20 - Dillon's Early Tag-Out Blues Dillon shares the mixed feelings of tagging out after just six days, compared to last year's 35-day grind, and how he's itching to get back out. 9:45 - Hunting Mindset Shifts Discussing patience, ditching over-calling, and how focusing on glassing and finding elk first led to Dillon's success this season. 17:30 - The Hunt Breakdown: Day-by-Day Chaos Dillon recounts spotting elk, multiple close calls with a five-by-five, getting soaked in storms, and epic calf encounters that pulled bulls in. 26:15 - Early-Season Bull Dynamics Exploring why big bulls tolerate satellites early on, elk psychology, and how a giant 320-class bull judged reactions without spotting Dillon. 33:50 - The Kill Shot and Solo Pack-Out Dillon details the perfect blind setup, holding at full draw for a minute, nailing the bull at 30 yards, and shuttling meat in 80-degree heat amid a hailstorm. 41:20 - Cody's Private Land Lessons Cody shares his tough hunt on a ranch, emphasizing getting into the "nucleus" of elk activity, blind calling tactics, and why solo setups work. 48:40 - Blind Calling Strategies and Buglefests Breaking down setups for blind calling, firing up reluctant bulls, and how decoys and patience turn quiet mornings into action. 55:10 - Reflections and Future Hunts Wrapping up with takeaways on persistence, enjoying the process, and plans for rifle tags, backcountry trips, and more elk grinding. 1:02:00 - Outro and Plugs Dillon promotes his brand and podcast; final thoughts on believing in the hunt and tuning in next time. Key Takeaways Patience Over Pressure: Ditch over-calling and focus on glassing first – waiting for the right setup and going back to basics like soft cow-calf sequences can turn quiet elk into responsive ones, especially early season. Hunt the Nucleus: Get into the chaos of a herd or active group where satellites are easier to call in; chasing lone bulls is way harder than staying in the "party" where elk behavior creates opportunities. Learn from the Grind: It might take years (like Dillon's 12), but sticking to spots with consistent sign, adapting tactics mid-hunt, and enjoying the process without overthinking builds the skills for success – persistence pays off.
The gals of VIVIZ return to the States for a New Legacy with a brand tour & LP!
In this week's episode Ron walked through his track record of about $25M in partner-equity deals with no LP syndications, where he typically sells at a 2× equity multiple plus cash flow. After selling most of his holdings this year (three sold, one small buy), he's retooling with fewer partners, longer holds, higher-quality assets with durable leases, and sites that include optional land he can monetize later.The big takeaways match my playbook: be fast to underwrite and offer, but patient until a real opportunity appears. Tighten NNN leases and keep meticulous documentation because institutions turn diligence up to roughly 10x a normal deal. Ron's recent IOS example summed it up well: bought two buildings on roughly 4 acres for $2.35M, corrected overstated acreage, reset a tenant to market before closing, secured about 5% seller financing, re-leased quickly after a vacancy (plus a roof repair), then exited about 18 months later to Blackstone for $4M+ at roughly a 6.4 to 6.5% cap. Looking ahead, he is eyeing an 80,000 sf Laredo distribution play with two years of term left, comfortable with lease-up risk given a low basis and easy demisability. We both prefer clustering assets in one submarket to cross-shop tenants. Macro view: the economy feels fragile, cap-rate compression is a maybe, and selective small IOS, sometimes all cash, can be the resilient move--
What's the fundamental difference between losing $50,000 as an LP versus potentially losing much more as a GP when deals go sideways—and how do you manage the stress that comes with higher stakes? In this final episode with Sean, Angel and Sean dive into the psychological and financial realities of real estate investing at different levels. Sean explains the "lizard brain" reactions that cause panic over non-life-threatening situations and shares wisdom from habit-formation books like Atomic Habits. They discuss the critical risk difference between limited and general partners, why higher returns always come with higher risks, and how Angel's transparency during crisis moments provides rare GP insights to her LP investors. This conversation covers practical stress management, the value of continuous learning, and why the LP-to-GP pathway provides essential preparation for the increased responsibilities and liabilities of active investing. [00:01 - 07:00] The Lizard Brain and Stress Management How 2-million-year-old brain reactions cause unnecessary panic in modern investing Bobby Castro's concept of "non-refundable minutes" and choosing what deserves worry Using habit formation techniques to retrain automatic stress responses [07:01 - 12:00] Learning from LP Experience as Preparation for GP Role How Angel draws on her passive investment experiences during active challenges The value of Charles Lame's meticulous record-keeping as a "serial passive investor" Why experienced LPs represent an underutilized resource for new GPs [12:01 - 17:00] The Hidden Reality of GP Risk Why GPs can lose far more than their initial investment when deals go wrong The fundamental risk difference: LPs lose their investment, GPs face unlimited liability Why GP compensation reflects the additional risk and responsibility they assume [17:01 - 21:00] Transparency and Community Building How Angel's openness about struggles provides rare GP education to LP investors The importance of contingency planning and realistic risk assessment Sean's approach to sharing both successful and challenging investment experiences Connect with Sean: Website: twtmultifamily.com/book-a-call Upcoming Event: AIM Denton Meetup - Monday, October 15th at Houlihan's Panel featuring experienced GP, new GP, and veteran passive investor Charles Lame Key Quotes: "If there's more return, there's gonna be more risk... you always have to tell yourself, if I'm getting a much bigger return, there's a much bigger risk." - Sean Griffith Visit sponsorcloud.io/contact today and unlock $2,000 of free services exclusively for REI Rocks community members!

When most personal brands fail to achieve their full potential, it's not because the message isn't valuable; it's generally because the focus is diluted, the strategy is scattered, and the mission gets lost in the noise. Most entrepreneurs are trying to be everywhere at once, chasing multiple income streams, or mistake branding for self-promotion. The result? Limited results and a message that never reaches the people who need it most. And as you'll hear from today's guest, “The Best Form of Marketing Is A Changed Life.” Rory Vaden is a Hall of Fame keynote speaker, bestselling author of Wealthy and Well-Known (get the audiobook FREE here), and co-founder of Brand Builders Group. His clients include leaders such as Lewis Howes, Ed Mylett, Amy Porterfield, and John Maxwell, and his expertise helps mission-driven messengers turn their reputation into revenue without compromising their purpose. In our conversation, Rory shares why personal branding is first and foremost a spiritual mission, how service (not self-promotion) is the key to long-term success, and why multiple streams of income is the wrong strategy when you're starting out. You'll also learn the five proven ways to monetize a personal brand, why fear is a signal of self-centeredness, and how clarity of mission removes fear altogether.

Asher White is a multi-instrumentalist, producer, visual artist, and writer whose prolific creative practice began in her early teens. She started releasing music on Bandcamp at 14, and by her mid-20s, had self-released more than a dozen albums. Her pop vision marries disparate sounds—skittering noise with swooping strings, lively banjo with blasts of feedback—across genres including drone, folk, Tropicalia, noise rock, and chamber pop. Deeply informed by her trans identity, and Jewish spirituality, White's work is both intimate and expansive. White's 2024 album “Home Constellation Study” was praised by Pitchfork for its “imagination, complexity, and feeling.” Her sixteenth LP “8 Tips for Full Catastrophe Living“ was released in 2025 by the Indianapolis label Joyful Noise Recordings. White will perform at State Street Pub on October 1.

Visionary soul artist Curtis Harding shares new LP, Departures & Arrivals: Adventures of Captain Curt; an intriguing mix of space opera shimmying up alongside classic soul. “The Power,” from that very album, is a timeless disco anthem that would make you look good on the dance floor… Or a roller skating rink(!).
On this week's episode of Passive Income Playbook, Pascal Wagner interviews Sean Smith. They dig into the search fund landscape from traditional and self-funded models to independent sponsors, why the silver tsunami and SBA financing make now a compelling moment, and Sean's thesis of backing essential businesses serving attractive end markets. Sean also walks through his four-part diligence system and a 200+ point checklist, how he evaluates terms so LPs are actually protected, and what realistic deal flow looks like when you're only closing on roughly 2 percent of what you review. If you're curious how to be a sharper LP in small business acquisitions without running a company yourself, this one's your roadmap.
