In Episode 42 of Flow State Podcast, Harry settles into a new studio and reflects on the question, “Have I made it yet?” This episode's Moments of Flow clips feature Busta Rhymes and Ethan Hawke, resulting in discussions of writing bars ahead of time, and the value of art. Harry considers the balance between cleverness and technique when creating, and talks about the process of practicing new skills. Finally, he reacts to a fan-submitted freestyle, and closes the episode out with some bars of his own.Show Notes:The War of Art by Steven Pressfieldhttps://bookshop.org/a/102858/9781936891023The Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross: Freestyle Test Drivehttps://youtu.be/JUyVxA5ODaY?si=uUQZ_ku9uCzV-bumHow Busta Rhymes Turned 300 Unreleased J Dilla Beats Into His New Albumhttps://youtu.be/PoVmFkWEoX0?si=lwWfTGzaDzI4uB4AGive yourself permission to be creative | Ethan Hawke | TEDhttps://youtu.be/WRS9Gek4V5Q?si=N3q65AyiWoil-hB-Flow by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyihttps://bookshop.org/a/102858/9780061339202Effortless Mastery by Kenny Wernerhttps://www.amazon.com/Effortless-Mastery-Liberating-Master-Musician/dp/156224003X/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0Beau Tailleferhttps://www.youtube.com/@beautaillefermusicVyntage on Flow State Episode 1https://youtu.be/-KfFIh2PbjE?si=LAAB0lmqoIIRd6pS&t=380700:00:00 Intro00:06:24 “Making It”00:33:05 Pen to Paper - Moments of Flow: Busta Rhymes00:45:21 Art is Sustenance - Moments of Flow: Ethan Hawke00:52:13 Flow by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi00:55:55 Being Clever in Rap01:04:04 Avoiding Skill Bottlenecks01:14:59 Fan Freestyle Submission: Vyntage01:22:16 Closing Freestyle

What does it take to turn a lifetime of breeding experience into a library of respected reference books? In this episode, we sit down with poultry breeder, author, and publisher Jeff Duguay, the creator of the acclaimed Making It to Champion Row series. While Jeff is widely known for his expertise in exhibition poultry, this conversation goes beyond the birds and into the story behind the books. Jeff shares how a passion for raising chickens evolved into a mission to preserve knowledge, document breeding practices, and create resources for serious exhibition breeders. We explore the challenges of writing in a highly specialized niche, the research required to separate tradition from proven fact, and why authoritative books continue to matter in an age dominated by online information. From his breed-specific works on Modern Game Bantams, Old English Game Bantams, Silkies, Cochins, Belgian d'Uccles, Sebrights, Belgian d'Anvers, and Crested Breeds, Jeff discusses what judges really look for, how successful breeding programs are built, and the recurring patterns he has observed among champion birds. The conversation also examines the realities of publishing niche hobby books, the responsibility of preserving knowledge before it disappears, and the lessons Jeff has learned as both a breeder and an author. Along the way, he reflects on the books that challenged him most, the feedback that shaped his work, and what he hopes future generations of poultry breeders will gain from his writings. Whether you're an exhibition breeder, a poultry enthusiast, an aspiring author, or simply fascinated by how expertise is captured and passed on, this episode offers a rare look at the intersection of breeding, writing, and legacy. In this episode, you'll learn: How Jeff Duguay became an author and publisher The inspiration behind the Champion Row book series Why serious breeders still rely on books in the internet age The process of researching and documenting specialized poultry knowledge Common misconceptions about breeding and exhibition success What separates champion birds from the rest The challenges of publishing in a niche field Why preserving breeding knowledge matters for future generations The legacy Jeff hopes his work will leave behind Join us for a conversation about craftsmanship, documentation, and the enduring value of putting hard-earned knowledge into print. #JeffDuguay #ChampionRow #PoultryBreeding #ExhibitionPoultry #PoultryBooks #ChickenBreeding #HeritageBreeds #PoultryPodcast #LivestockPublishing #BreedingForExcellence #AuthorInterview #PreservingKnowledge Make sure to follow and watch our future shows.

Host Jesse Jackson thanks Patreon supporters, then welcomes returning guest Steve Rosen, a veteran music journalist and author. Rosen recounts growing up in Culver City, his early radio influences, discovering Jeff Beck through the Yardbirds, and seeing the Jeff Beck Group in 1969, calling Beck the most profoundly gifted and creative guitarist. He explains how learning guitar and a love of writing pushed him into journalism, from high school and UCLA papers to the LA Free Press and major magazines, and describes meeting Eddie Van Halen in 1977 and their 26-year friendship, later chronicled in Tone Chaser. Rosen discusses rewriting his Japan-only 1978 Jeff Beck biography into a new book released on Beck's birthday, why Beck remained underwritten, and stories about Beck's difficult bandleading. He also answers the “Thunder Road” question: Mary gets in the car. https://a.co/d/00mtOqXI 00:00 Patreon Thanks 01:28 Meet Steve Rosen 02:02 50 Years Writing Music 02:48 Rewriting the Jeff Beck Book 04:54 Growing Up in Culver City 05:37 Beach Boys and Early Radio 07:53 Discovering Jeff Beck 11:13 Deep Dive Into Guitar Heroes 14:25 First Byline Breakthrough 16:56 From School Papers to Creem 20:41 Meeting Eddie Van Halen 26:11 Why Write About Beck 29:09 Rewriting the Beck Book 29:47 Why Beck Stayed Underrated 32:27 Artists on Beck's Genius 33:05 Band Leader Chaos Tales 34:52 Making It in Music 37:31 Tech Changed Everything 40:02 YouTube as a Teacher 45:06 Does Mary Get In 50:07 Book Plug and Farewell 52:14 Listener Outro and Links Learn more about your ad choices.

My guest this week spent forty years studying death — first as a pathologist doing autopsies, later coaching people from inside her own pathology office. What she found in that work wasn't morbid. She found more life force in the morgue than she usually found walking around on an ordinary day, and that contradiction sent her looking for why. Sabine O'Laughlin calls what she found the mother line: the idea that everybody has one mother, whatever your relationship with her looks like, and that mother gave you exactly one thing — your life. Until you can accept that fully, Sabine says, you stay closed off to receiving — not just love, but money, health, and everything else too. This conversation is one I needed to hear myself, as someone who works in wealth consciousness all day and doesn't have a relationship with my own mother. This episode gets into where that shows up in your body, what giving too much can actually cost you, and what changes once you do this work. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN: The three principles that hold family systems together — belonging, order, and the balance of give and receive — and what happens when any of them is out of balance Why being "a little bit dead" isn't dramatic — it's any place you learned to hold back to keep your caretakers happy, and how it shows up in your posture, your jaw, and your voice Why the giver, not the taker, is usually the one who kills a relationship, and how over-giving can be a form of control dressed up as generosity What it might mean if you've always felt like the black sheep of your family, and why that role usually isn't random Why Sabine says money is an energy, not a thing, and why nothing you buy will work until you can take in the source of your own wealth What changed for Sabine the day her mother died, and how it turned into four decades of studying death for a living TAKE SABINE'S FREE ENERGY LEAK AUDIT Curious where your own energy might be leaking?

As the creator of the Health Matrix, she helps women uncover the hidden patterns draining their energy and limiting their potential. After spending decades studying death and disease, Sabine discovered what helps people truly live. Her own life changed when she was diagnosed with ADHD at age 62. Today, Sabine combines medical expertise, family systems work, and a deep understanding of neurodivergence to guide high-achieving women from burnout and self-doubt to greater clarity, vitality, and fulfillment.

Developer John McNellis says passive real estate investing doesn't exist, and he explains why.Summary:John McNellis has developed close to 100 properties over more than 45 years, shifting from a corporate lawyer to a shopping center developer to, today, a specialist in small quick-serve restaurant ground leases with tenants like Chick-fil-A. In this conversation he walks through the two mistakes that wipe out most beginning developers, the deal that nearly cost him everything, and why he thinks the phrase "passive real estate investment" is one of the biggest lies in the business. He also breaks down why commercial real estate is a weaker inflation hedge than most investors assume, and lays out a simple path for landing a first deal.Key topics:The two mistakes that wipe out beginning developers: overpaying and overleveragingWhy commercial real estate underperforms as an inflation hedge (3% inflation versus 1.37% appreciation)The shift from ground-up shopping centers to small Chick-fil-A ground leasesWhy "passive real estate investing" is a myth, and what daily ownership actually requiresThe get rich slow approach: less debt, more equity, patience over scaleAbout John McNellis:John McNellis is a real estate developer and the author of Making It in Real Estate: Thriving as a Developer, now in its third edition.

ohn McNellis didn't set out to become one of Northern California's most respected retail developers - he set out to avoid a courtroom. After a journalism degree at UC Berkeley and a detour through law school, John landed at a prestigious San Francisco law firm, hated litigation, and started flipping small duplexes on nights and weekends just to stay sane. Over half a dozen years, that side hustle quietly became a real business. 43 years later, John and his partners at McNellis Partners have developed more than 100 properties, mostly supermarket-anchored shopping centers, and he's distilled every hard-won lesson into the bestselling book Making It in Real Estate - now in its third edition and required reading at universities nationwide. In this episode, John gets brutally honest about the arc of a four-decade career: the deals that built his reputation, the mistakes that nearly ended it, and why he believes "passive investment" in commercial real estate is one of the industry's biggest lies. We talk about what actually separates investors who last from those who flame out, why sticking to your "weight class" on deals matters more than chasing the big score, and how surviving - and winning - a down market comes down to discipline most people don't have. If you've ever wondered whether real estate is something you can realistically start on the side while keeping your W-2, this conversation is proof it's possible - and a clear-eyed look at what it actually costs to build something that lasts In this episode: Why John walked away from law to bet on real estate part-time The "Ten Great Ways to Lose Money" he's learned firsthand What separates investors who last 40+ years from those who don't Why "passive investment" in CRE is a myth Surviving — and winning — in a down market The politics of City Hall and why real estate is never just about the deal Download our new AI Rental Property Calculator Book your mentorship discovery call with Cory RESOURCESGet business funding - revenued.com/juice

Target Market Insights: Multifamily Real Estate Marketing Tips
John McNellis is a veteran real estate developer and founding partner of McNellis Partners, where he has spent more than four decades developing over 100 properties across Northern California, primarily supermarket anchored shopping centers. He started as a journalism major, went to law school, and practiced litigation for less than a year before shifting into real estate law, where he learned to structure large transactions and met the people who would fund his first deals. John built his first shopping center in 1983 alongside an older developer client and has worked with the same two partners, Beth Walter and Mike Powers, ever since. He is the author of Making It in Real Estate: Thriving as a Developer, now in its third edition, and writes a monthly column for the San Francisco Business Times and The Registry. In this episode, John McNellis walks through 43 years of development, starting with a duplex he bought at 24 and ending with a firm that uses no outside capital at all. He explains how a law career gave him a shortcut into large deals, why he stopped raising money after his financial partners walked away during the early 1990s recession, and what he learned from losing a Sacramento shopping center in foreclosure. He also makes an argument most real estate podcasts avoid: keep your day job, because the failure rate in development is high and the cash flow takes years to arrive.

Key Takeaways Learn large deal mechanics on someone else's payroll before risking your own capital Partner for the skills you lack, and accept that good partnerships can still end Weigh the control you surrender before accepting outside capital Owning 100% of a small deal can beat owning 1% of a large one Do not overpay, over leverage, or over develop Topics From Journalism to Law to Development Practiced litigation for less than a year before moving to real estate law Legal work exposed him to eight figure deals, entity structures, and capital contacts Early Deals That Funded the Career Bought a duplex at 24 for $25,000 with roughly $1,500 down Traded up to a fourplex and turned $1,500 into $90,000 in about two years The First Shopping Center Partnered with a developer client who had construction expertise but could not sell John raised $1 million in equity at $25,000 per investor and handled the legal work Built in 1983, still owned today, mortgage paid off and renovated twice Why That Partnership Worked, and Why It Ended The partnership ran 5 or 6 years, until neither needed the other Beth Walter and Mike Powers joined in 1983 and remain his partners 43 years later The Developer as Conductor John says he still knows nothing about construction after 80 odd buildings Development requires an orchestra of partners, consultants, and contractors The Capital Ladder and Its Ceiling Friends and family money is a booster rocket, useful until you run out of friends Institutional capital costs more and carries total control over timing and exits What Non-Recourse Actually Means Deregulation of savings and loans pushed money into commercial real estate in the 1980s Financial partners walked away mid-project during the early 1990s recession Non-recourse protects you from them and protects them from you Moving to Their Own Capital Only John chose owning 100% of a small deal over a minority stake in a large one The firm buys junk, fixes it, sells it as antiques, and funds the next deal Why He Tells Developers to Keep Their Day Job Development can take three to six years before a property cash flows John practiced law through his first ten years of investing He cites a failure rate above 60% for development firms in their first decade

Returning guest Simon Dixon, co-founder of global brand and design agency DixonBaxi, sits down with Radim as the studio approaches its 25th birthday to talk about what actually holds up over a quarter of a century. ~ This is a conversation about comfort without complacency — how a body of work lets you meet the world with strength instead of fear, why Simon has never asked permission or had a mentor, and how "access" quietly determines who gets to be daring in the first place. They trace the throughline from permission to curiosity to gratitude, unpack the real difference between fear and doubt, and land on why taste, judgment, and care will matter more than ever in a world being reshaped by AI.TakeawaysTwenty-five years in, real confidence isn't settled or atrophied — it's comfort earned through scar tissue and decision-makingIt's easy to be daring once you can pay the rent — access and infrastructure quietly gatekeep who gets to take creative risksThere's no such thing as a dead end or a mistake; there's only information about what you've won or haven'tFear and doubt aren't the same thing — doubt is the ache of growth, not a threat to surviveGenerosity and mentoring don't wait for success; Simon took on interns from day one of his careerGrowth happens in layers, not stages — self-focus, collaboration, and generosity all coexist rather than replacing one anotherTaste isn't universal — it's conviction applied to your own work, which is why Hemingway and Jane Austen can both be rightAI won't be a tool bolted onto creativity — it will be the infrastructure everything else runs through Daring Creativity.

On this episode of Zen and the Art of Real Estate Investing, Jonathan Greene interviews John McNellis, a longtime developer, investor, writer, lecturer, and principal at McNellis Partners, as well as the author of Making It in Real Estate: Thriving as a Developer. Drawing from decades of experience in development and commercial real estate, John shares how he unexpectedly transitioned from practicing law into real estate and built a career developing shopping centers and navigating changing market cycles. John explains how his legal background gave him an early advantage by exposing him to larger deals, partnerships, financing structures, and the people behind major real estate projects. He reflects on starting with small residential investments before moving into industrial and eventually finding his niche in retail development. Throughout the conversation, he emphasizes that investors often overcomplicate deal analysis and argues that great opportunities should still make sense with simple back-of-the-napkin math rather than relying entirely on projections and complex models. The conversation also explores what makes retail real estate work and why location still matters more than ever. John shares insights into shopping center development, tenant relationships, traffic patterns, anchor tenants, and why concepts like "right in, right out" continue to influence successful projects. He explains how retailers think about demographics, parking, visibility, and customer behavior — and why understanding these details separates experienced operators from investors chasing surface-level opportunities. Jonathan and John also discuss why retail has proven more resilient than many predicted despite years of headlines claiming e-commerce would replace physical stores. John shares how successful retail operators adapted by combining physical locations with online fulfillment and explains why neighborhood shopping centers continue to perform well. Ultimately, the episode highlights that great real estate investing still comes down to relationships, understanding human behavior, and staying focused on fundamentals over trends. In this episode, you will hear: • How John McNellis transitioned from law into real estate development • Why simple underwriting often beats complicated financial models • What makes shopping centers succeed or fail over time • How traffic patterns, anchor tenants, and demographics drive retail performance • Why retail real estate continues to evolve rather than disappear • How experienced developers evaluate opportunities and avoid common mistakes • Why local knowledge and relationships create long-term investing advantages Follow and Review If you enjoy the show, please follow Zen and the Art of Real Estate Investing on Apple Podcasts and leave a rating and review.

Cody Boden grew up in Grand Junction Colorado, the son of an alcoholic father in a coal mining town. In this episode of Locked In with Ian Bick, Cody shares how he found his purpose in the U.S. Army — becoming a sniper with the 1st 40th Cavalry, earning two Purple Hearts from a bombing and a VBIED attack, and witnessing horrors overseas that would follow him home forever. When he returned from war the military forced him into medical retirement — leaving him without the only life he'd ever known. What followed was a bar altercation, drug dealing, a 15 year sentence he served 5 years of, and a battle with opiate addiction he finally won in June 2017. Now he faces his greatest fight yet — terminal liver failure connected to an illness contracted during deployment, waiting for a donor since May 2023.This is a story of war, trauma, addiction, prison, redemption, fatherhood and faith — and a man the system tried to throw away who refused to give up. _____________________________________________ #PurpleHeart #VeteranStory #TrueCrime _____________________________________________ Connect with Cody Boden: Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@onemoremission Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cody.boden/ Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@UCtFo-QFNRfa-_c4uZh0WKyg Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61580807506052 Donation: livingdonorreg.upmc.com _____________________________________________ Hosted, Executive Produced & Edited By Ian Bick: https://www.instagram.com/ian_bick/?hl=en https://ianbick.com/ _____________________________________________ Shop Locked In Merch: http://www.ianbick.com/shop _____________________________________________ Timestamps: 00:00 Purple Heart Army Sniper to Federal Prison — Cody's Full Story 00:21 Growing Up in a Coal Mining Family and the Childhood That Shaped Everything 04:13 High School Struggles and the First Time Drugs Entered His Life 07:07 The Family Coal Mining Business and How Everything Started to Change 11:28 His Father His Grandfather and the Discipline That Defined His Childhood 16:01 Losing His Grandfather and the Moment He Turned to Drugs to Cope 18:59 Joining the Army to Escape — The Decision That Changed Everything 21:31 Army Training and How He Fought His Way Through Early Addiction 28:35 Making It to Army Sniper School and What Life in Alaska Really Looked Like 37:18 Preparing for Deployment and Adapting to the Most Extreme Environments Imaginable 41:01 Life in Alaska — Brutal Weather Brutal Training and What It Built in Him 45:00 Deploying to Iraq — His First Combat Experience and What He Wasn't Ready For 51:40 The Toughest Missions and the Friends He Lost in Battle 54:00 Survivor's Guilt — What It Does to You When the People Next to You Don't Make It 01:00:43 Heavy Combat Devastating Losses and What Leadership in War Really Looks Like 01:11:04 Coming Home — Injuries Forced Retirement and the Painkillers That Started Everything 01:18:50 A Bar Fight An Arrest and His First Real Taste of Jail 01:27:49 How Addiction Took Over and What It Did to His Family 01:30:47 Fighting for Custody of His Kids While Fighting His Own Demons 01:39:10 Prison — The Legal Troubles the Politics and What Survival Really Looks Like Inside 01:46:35 Prison Life Racism and the Mental Health Programs That Started to Help 01:58:03 Therapy Childhood Trauma and the First Real Steps Toward Recovery 02:05:00 Life After Prison Meeting Katherine and Then the Hepatitis C Diagnosis 02:12:42 Building a New Life Staying Clean and Finding Professional Purpose 02:18:11 The Terminal Liver Disease Diagnosis and the Transplant Journey Nobody Prepares You For 02:26:26 Medical Hardships Finding Hope and the Faith That Kept Him Going 02:32:23 The Delays the Donors and the Nightmare of Navigating the Medical System 02:36:09 What His Family and Legacy Give Him the Will to Survive 02:43:17 Reflection Gratitude and What Moving Forward Really Looks Like _____________________________________________ To advertise on the show, contact sales@advertisecast.com or visit https://advertising.libsyn.com/LockedInWithIanBicka Learn more about your ad choices.
