Podcasts about Man

In this thought-provoking interview, Jeremy Slate sits down with Seth Holhouse, host of "Man in America," to delve into the complex web of global power struggles and the battle between good and evil. They explore the question of who the real enemy is and how to navigate the confusing landscape of competing narratives. Seth sheds light on the influence of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its ties to the globalist agenda, while emphasizing the importance of understanding the specter of communism as a force that transcends borders. The conversation also touches on practical steps individuals can take to protect their freedom and resist control, such as becoming self-sufficient in food production, securing alternative sources of energy, and homeschooling. This eye-opening discussion offers valuable insights into the current state of affairs and provides a glimmer of hope for a future free from the clutches of tyranny. ___________________________________________________________________________ ⇩ SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS ⇩  BRAVE TV HEALTH: Parasites are one of the main reasons that so many of our health problems happen!

Creationtide III - Trees 1st Lesson: A Reading from the Book of Genesis (Gen. 2:4b-22) In the day that the LORD God made the earth and the heavens, when no plant of the field was yet in the earth and no vegetation of the field had yet sprung up—for the LORD God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was no one to till the ground, but a stream would rise from the earth and water the whole face of the ground— then the LORD God formed man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being. And the LORD God planted a garden in Eden, in the east, and there he put the man whom he had formed. Out of the ground the LORD God made to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight and good for food, the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. A river flows out of Eden to water the garden, and from there it divides and becomes four branches. The name of the first is Pishon; it is the one that flows around the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold, and the gold of that land is good; bdellium and onyx stone are there. The name of the second river is Gihon; it is the one that flows around the whole land of Cush. The name of the third river is Tigris, which flows east of Assyria And the fourth river is the Euphrates. The LORD God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to till it and keep it. And the LORD God commanded the man, “You may freely eat of every tree of the garden, but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall die.” Then the LORD God said, “It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper as his partner.” So out of the ground the LORD God formed every animal of the field and every bird of the air and brought them to the man to see what he would call them, and whatever the man called every living creature, that was its name. The man gave names to all cattle and to the birds of the air and to every animal of the field, but for the man there was not found a helper as his partner. So the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man, and he slept; then he took one of his ribs and closed up its place with flesh. And the rib that the LORD God had taken from the man he made into a woman and brought her to the man. 2nd Lesson: A Reading from the Acts of the Apostles (Acts 17:22-28 ) Then Paul stood in front of the Areopagus and said, “Athenians, I see how extremely spiritual you are in every way. For as I went through the city and looked carefully at the objects of your worship, I found among them an altar with the inscription, ‘To an unknown god.' What therefore you worship as unknown, this I proclaim to you. The God who made the world and everything in it, he who is Lord of heaven and earth, does not live in shrines made by human hands, nor is he served by human hands, as though he needed anything, since he himself gives to all mortals life and breath and all things. From one ancestor he made all peoples to inhabit the whole earth, and he allotted the times of their existence and the boundaries of the places where they would live, so that they would search for God and perhaps fumble about for him and find him—though indeed he is not far from each one of us. For ‘In him we live and move and have our being'; as even some of your own poets have said, ‘For we, too, are his offspring.' The Gospel Reading: John 3:1-16 Now there was a Pharisee named Nicodemus, a leader of the Jews. He came to Jesus by night and said to him, “Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher who has come from God, for no one can do these signs that you do unless God is with that person.” Jesus answered him, “Very truly, I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God without being born from above.” Nicodemus said to him, “How can anyone be born after having grown old? Can one enter a second time into the mother's womb and be born?” Jesus answered, “Very truly, I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God without being born of water and Spirit. What is born of the flesh is flesh, and what is born of the Spirit is spirit. Do not be astonished that I said to you, ‘You must be born from above.' The wind blows where it chooses, and you hear the sound of it, but you do not know where it comes from or where it goes. So it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit.” Nicodemus said to him, “How can these things be?” Jesus answered him, “Are you the teacher of Israel, and yet you do not understand these things? “Very truly, I tell you, we speak of what we know and testify to what we have seen, yet you do not receive our testimony. If I have told you about earthly things and you do not believe, how can you believe if I tell you about heavenly things? No one has ascended into heaven except the one who descended from heaven, the Son of Man. And just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of Man be lifted up, that whoever believes in him may have eternal life. “For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not perish but may have eternal life.”

Check it out below: Adam Gower (00:00:00) - And the way that people interact with sales materials and marketing materials hasn't changed the same exact triggers. Will will motivate somebody, an accredited investor, to want to learn more and then to actually act and invest with you. Nothing's changed. Even though it's online, the the techniques are the same. What's cool about the tech is figuring out how to how to read the data, right. And understand which ideas you have that you're testing are working better than others. But apart from that, nothing's really changed then. Welcome to the How to scale.   Sam Wilson (00:00:43) - Commercial real estate show. Whether you are an active or passive investor, we'll teach you how to scale your real estate investing business into something big.   Sam Wilson (00:00:55) - Adam Gower, PhD, is a 30 year real estate veteran with over $1.5 billion of commercial real estate investment and finance experience. Today, he builds digital marketing systems for real estate professionals. And for those of you that don't know, Dr. Adam Gower came back on the show. Oh gosh, it was earlier this year, April 10th, 2023.   Sam Wilson (00:01:15) - So we're catching you kind of right, mid quarter, first third of the year. Then we're catching the second quarter of the year. Adam. For those that didn't catch that first episode, there's three questions I ask every guest who comes on the show and I'm going to ask you to answer them again really quickly if you can, in 90s or less. Where did you start? Where are you now and how did you get there?   Adam Gower (00:01:34) - Right. First of all, thank you for having me on. And I always I love being on these shows where the you know, the pre conversation is really mellow and quiet. And then you go into the introduction. Adam Gower is like, like it's like the radio voice.   Sam Wilson (00:01:51) - Absolutely, man, we got it. We got to make it entertaining for those that are listening. Otherwise they're going to put everybody to sleep.   Adam Gower (00:01:58) - I need to I need to take notes from your book, Sam, because I always do my introductions afterwards. But anyway, to answer to answer your question, where did I start? Okay.   Adam Gower (00:02:08) - I started hundreds of years ago, actually in the early 1980s. It was very interesting time to start because in those days, mortgage rates I remember Sam, when I first put money in the bank in the early 80s, I got 12% interest on deposit. Imagine that, 12% zero risk guaranteed money and and mortgage rates were pushing 20%. It was a very different time. Remember that might that might figure in what we're going to talk about later today. So that's where I started. I started pulling wires for an electrician and then eventually started raising money for a ground up multi-family developer. Second question was, you got a room? I've got a I've got a memory of, you know, whatever, a steel trap, a memory like a steel trap can only hold one thing at a time.   Sam Wilson (00:03:02) - And it's very difficult to get anything out of that trap completely. Exactly.   Adam Gower (00:03:06) - Yeah. It just. Just sits there kind of dormant. Weird.   Sam Wilson (00:03:09) - You start. Question number two is, where are you now?   Adam Gower (00:03:11) - Ah, right.   Adam Gower (00:03:12) - So spinning forwards, however many years that is unfortunately 40 odd years. I don't like to admit that it makes me seem really old. But anyway, so today, so what we do is we build a digital marketing systems and help people build digital marketing systems so they can raise capital online. We've focused exclusively on commercial real estate. Our clients manage probably over 35 billion AUM and have raised over $1 billion using our systems over the last few years. So that's that's what we do now. I just I got addicted to the idea of digital online syndication when it became legal. I raised over half a billion myself and it would all been in-person, sitting with people, traveling, having people travel. To me, it's just brain damage. So when it became legalized, I'm like, Goodness, that you could do it online. I just decided to switch and and that's what we do. It's what we do now. Yeah. It's I really enjoy it. It's like a hobby. I enjoy it so much.   Adam Gower (00:04:20) - Like a hobby. It's like.   Sam Wilson (00:04:22) - A hobby. Good for you. Yeah. I don't know that. Going to work as a hobby for me yet. So maybe I need to take a page out of your book.   Adam Gower (00:04:29) - Well, you know, it's what I tell my boys. You know, you got to do you? I've got, you know, three sons, and I'd tell him, you got to do what you really enjoy If you if you do what you enjoy, you'll never work. Right? It'll always be just joyful. And, you know, you just look spring out of bed in the morning and look forward to the day ahead.   Sam Wilson (00:04:49) - Oh, that's for certain, man. I've always wondered that about about people that watch the clock. Like when when 430 or 5:00 happens and I know I got to go hang not don't have to, but I get to go play with the kids because I know I can't leave all the kids at home with just my wife. So it's like, okay, I've got to wrap up work, but like, how in the world is it 430 or 5:00 already? Like, I never look at a clock and say, Gosh, I wish it would speed up.   Sam Wilson (00:05:11) - I'm always going, I wish it would slow down.   Adam Gower (00:05:13) - I need more time in my life. Right?   Sam Wilson (00:05:16) - I've never gotten to Friday afternoon. I'm like, Man, thank goodness it's Friday afternoon. I'm like, Is it really?   Adam Gower (00:05:21) - I got everything done. Yeah. No way. It says.   Sam Wilson (00:05:24) - Right ever.   Adam Gower (00:05:26) - Exactly. All right. So what was a question?   Sam Wilson (00:05:28) - Three questions. You already answered it, which is, Where are you now?   Adam Gower (00:05:30) - Oh, so that was question. Okay, good.   Sam Wilson (00:05:33) - Start. Where are you now? Oh, no, that's a lie. See, I can't remember my own question.   Adam Gower (00:05:36) - Where do you start? Where are you now and where you're headed?   Sam Wilson (00:05:38) - How did you get there? Oh, how.   Adam Gower (00:05:39) - Did I get that? All right, I will tell you that. But I'll connect the dots between pulling wires for an electrician and raising money for multifamily and what we do now. So the simple story is like this. So during the and it's important. It's a good question that you ask and it's.   Adam Gower (00:05:54) - Probably since the last time we spoke because of where we are in the in the cycle in the commercial real estate cycle at the moment. So the last major downturn and this is a major one. This one we're going through now was 2007, really is when it really started with a vengeance. And I in in summer of 2007, I sold everything I had actually really liquidated everything, just got out. And I ended up working for East West Bank. And one of the major actually the biggest regional bank in California. And they were really they had some challenges because they had, they had done, um, a lot of real estate collateralized lending. And a lot of those real estate deals were all those those loans were non-performing, right? People had stopped paying. There was a lot of problems. And so they brought me in to help clean the balance sheet by selling the notes. I did some workouts and then subsequently I ended up at I'll cut out a couple of steps, but I ended up at Colony Capital working on a $7 billion loan loan portfolio or portfolio of non-performing loans, and that was a whole different cycle as well.   Adam Gower (00:07:14) - Um, and um, and then when the, then when the market started to pick up. And around 2012, I started doing seed investing. Totally different. You know, I've made some money. The downturn actually treated me very well, and I started looking at these little startups. It was like a different world. I moved into a interestingly, you know, a lot of these things kind of dovetail into what's going at the moment. It wasn't a we work, but it was similar to a we work, it was a startup incubator. It was like this huge warehouse with open desks and open seatings, and you could rent a desk permanently. So I had all my stuff on my desk, but it was basically working in a warehouse. Sam I absolutely loved it. It was fantastic. I was surrounded by these bright students, you know, half my age and more. And I did some teaching at the university as well. But it was just the vibe in there and the energy. And you could hear people talking and doing presentations and walking around.   Adam Gower (00:08:23) - It was just really high energy. And so when the Jobs Act and I was investing in some of their little startups, I wrote some checks like, that sounds kind of cool, but they were talking a different language. I'd never heard this language before SEO and SOS and Google Analytics and you name it website. That was like everything was brand new. It seemed like rocket science to me, like it was completely impenetrable. Um, but the Jobs Act passed in 2012. So you said 90s maybe 90 minutes if you don't stop me. But the jobs that passed and it suddenly allowed sponsors just allowed anybody to technically sell securities online. What that meant was that you could raise money online. I just saw that and thought, Oh gee, this like my entire life has been chasing around, trying to find good investor leads and then nurturing them in person. And now I can scale that like absolute scale, perfect scale, right? You can reach everybody all or to everywhere, all the time online, instead of having to knock on doors like kind of literally knock on doors, Hey, is there somebody's home? Right? Do you want to invest? And so I started to learn the the art of digital marketing, of marketing online.   Adam Gower (00:09:52) - And I forgot your question again already, but I'll just kind of wrap up anyway. How did I get to where I am? And it just went from one thing to the other. In fact, I started some interest and I started with a podcast and, and I taught myself how to produce a podcast, how to build, which isn't trivial. You know, you're sitting there with lots of 800, how many ever episodes you've got on a big you've got a gorgeous mic and, you know, nice background. But when you started, you scratch your head, right? What do I do? Oh my God, how am I going to record? I'm going to clean up the audio. Is it going to be video? How do I get it out? Where do I put it? What is libsyn? How do I distribute? It's like a million different questions. So it's actually. Go ahead. It's like you don't. So I figured this out just like you did. And then I built websites and then I built marketing funnels.   Adam Gower (00:10:44) - Then I started putting them all together for clients. And that's what we've been doing. That's basically how it started.   Sam Wilson (00:10:51) - That's really cool. I think one one word that you used that is it's a common feeling as especially here recently on gosh, because we have our hands in the laundry business and then we have our hands in the RV resort business and, and then setting up all the marketing campaigns for those various businesses and hiring third party ad agencies to handle all of that online. You said impenetrable. Like, I look at this and literally I got the the the the I don't know what the wrong the word for it. You use the right word for it, but basically said, here's the plan of action. And like you said, they're throwing out acronyms, they're talking geofencing, they're talking this and that and the other and how we're going to I'm just like, Uh huh, yeah, okay. Just where do I can I just mail you? Can I just give me the credit card and just.   Adam Gower (00:11:38) - That's right. All I want is more business. Get it, get it, get it for me.   Sam Wilson (00:11:44) - Needs to be there. That's it. It's like, yeah, you know, I don't care if it's ten grand a month.   Adam Gower (00:11:48) - I actually find the whole process really interesting, actually. You know, what's what's particularly interesting about it? I'm looking at my as I look up here, I have books that my entire room is books, by the way, apart from this whiteboard behind me. But you know what we're talking about actually. These are tactics and techniques and strategies for selling and marketing and selling that have been around for a very, very long time. The reason I'm looking up here is there's a couple of books. There's Robert Collier. Book. This is amazing. It was written in 1920, I think. And then there's my life in advertising, scientific advertising. What is it called? Scientific advertising by John Hopkins. And there's a bunch of books like that. What's cool about it? Applied Business correspondence.   Adam Gower (00:12:38) - What's cool about is this stuff was written 100 years ago about the way that they did marketing direct mail where they'd send out literally send out mail to sell some of the things, you know, three by three feet of books as well. One of the things that's the coolest idea by three feet, five pizza box for your bookshelves, you know, whatever and pay on the drip and here's a coupon or whatever. But the tactics and techniques are exactly the same online. Why? Because human psychology is not changed now. The way and the way that people interact with sales materials and marketing materials hasn't changed. The same exact triggers will will motivate somebody, an accredited investor, to want to learn more and then to actually act and invest with you. Nothing's changed. Even though it's online, the the techniques are the same. What's cool about the tech is figuring out how to how to read the data, right. And understand which ideas you have that you're testing are working better than others. But apart from that, nothing's really changed then.   Sam Wilson (00:13:52) - Right? No. And that's and that's it. I mean there comes. What do you recommend to people? I mean, because there comes a point where we we all can't be experts in everything. I can't, I cannot and I don't have the mental bandwidth to become an expert in online digital, you know, paperclip marketing. I really don't. It's I know it's not rocket science. You know, as you said, it's you got to figure it out. But I don't have the the cognitive bandwidth to absorb and understand that. Right. Is that the gap you are filling in your business? Yeah, we.   Adam Gower (00:14:24) - We do that. I mean, the way to decide whether or not it's worth doing. Right. Just talking to you, it's interesting that you bring this up so we can talk hypothetically. We can talk very specifically. So being specific about your comment. So the way to do this is to you've really got to look at how much money you're putting in to the process and how much money you're getting out at the back end.   Adam Gower (00:14:48) - It sounds kind of, you know, a bit silly to say it's because it's so obvious, right? But that is what you want to do. So let's say you've got a laundry, a laundromat somewhere, and I'm not that experienced in laundromats, to be honest with you. But I imagine that you still you can do what you can advertise and you can get contracts, you know, from local sports teams. And there's all kinds of things that you can do to, you know, kind of scale the thing up. But you also want local students to know about that. You do coupons, promos, I really don't know. You put in tech, there's all kinds of stuff that you want to do, but you also want people to know about that, right? So whatever your total cost of advertising is, you want to be looking at what is the return on that spend, and the acronym is return on ad spend. So that's going to include however much you're spending on the advertising. By the way, this applies 100% exactly the same to raising capital for for equity.   Adam Gower (00:15:45) - Well, actually doesn't it's actually more technically it's harder for equity because in your case, you would you would say, okay, I'm going to run a campaign. I'm going to pay the agency however much a month. We're going to actually invest, however much we're going to invest in this in the you know, in the paid ad itself. I love emotional spending that let's say you spend 10,000 and I'm pulling this out. My. I have no idea how much money you make in a laundromat at $0.25 a pop. I don't know how that works. But anyway, let's say you spend 10,000 or $1000 on your advertising and your agency. You know, pretty much if you have made that money back, if you do the campaign properly, right, you could do a coupon, right? You do a coupon for a certain period of time and you can see how many people actually use that coupon. Was it worth the ad spend or wasn't it Right. Was it worth it? You've also got to look at lifetime value, right? Somebody comes in for the first time, they might only spend $10.   Adam Gower (00:16:45) - I don't know. Again, I've no idea. But now, suddenly, if they buy a membership, I don't know if you have membership, if you've got a recurring membership model and they sign up now, you know you've got this lifetime value. So you can start looking at it in that context and determine whether or not the campaign worked. The key, though, with any kind of marketing these days, as it was or even 100 years ago, was to test ideas. Don't be afraid of trying something. You know, I've just pulled an ad campaign that we've got on Facebook. It wasn't doing very well. All right. Most of my campaigns, you know, they run positive. I make more money than the campaign we're running. Just kill the campaign this morning. There wasn't losing money. It's like, you know what? Let's kill the thing. Can't be bothered and actually don't even want to revamp it. I'm just going to stop the campaign. But the key is to test and the chances are that you will test multiple different ideas and ways of let's get back to raising money for real estate.   Adam Gower (00:17:44) - You will test all kinds of different ways of raising money, finding accredited investors, nurturing them and converting them. And probably nine out of ten, those of those ways won't work. You know, nine out of ten ways that we try don't work. Oh, my goodness. But the ones that do, we double down on. And those are the ones that we roll out to our clients. So actually invest a lot of money testing different ways of marketing. Most of them lose. I know that fails, but the ones that win, those are the ones that we take to our clients. And then we we we double down on those.   Sam Wilson (00:18:18) - Right, Right. And that's and that's having that patience, that kind of that that kind of iterative patience to go, okay, we're going to put this campaign out there. We're going to see how it does. Do we like it? Did it perform? Yes. No. Analyze it. Start back over. I mean, that that process sounds like it's ongoing for you.   Sam Wilson (00:18:39) - I mean, really for the life of however long you're doing this.   Adam Gower (00:18:41) - Well, yes. But I think life is like that, isn't it? I mean, I was I just was reading your some of the stuff on your website before we connected. And you did multifamily and you did forget not mobile homes, but something else. And now you're focused on laundromats. Well, that is the same process, right? It's a process of trial and error. You try something, you work. It either does well, it doesn't work well. It sucks up your time. It doesn't suck up your time. You find that you've got a niche, something. So you double down on that and you just focus on it because it's the one that really worked for you. And everybody's different. So it's not anything. It's kind of got a little bit more esoteric, I suppose. If we talk about life, the universe and everything, but it is life. That's how you kind of deal with life. You test ideas, you test stuff, you go on vacation.   Adam Gower (00:19:29) - Let's why don't we try such and such? Never going back there. Right? You try it didn't work or you go somewhere and it's amazing. And you book the minute you get back home for next year, right? As life is like that, you just try stuff. And if it works, you do more of it. And if it doesn't, you move on.   Sam Wilson (00:19:47) - You move on. That's exactly. Yeah. I've got one of those vacation memories in my book here.   Adam Gower (00:19:53) - The good ones are the bad ones.   Sam Wilson (00:19:54) - It was a bad one. Unfortunately. I was like, You were never doing that.   Adam Gower (00:19:58) - I'll tell you something. I'm going to tell you right now. I went to a hotel. My kids were just at camp. I took my wife. I like to go to the you know, we kind of splurge when the kids are right. We went to this supposedly fabulous four star hotel resort. I figured we'd go away. I treat my wife, we spend a lovely time, kind of a staycation here in California.   Adam Gower (00:20:18) - The bloody room had duct tape holding the thing I could not sweat. Whose duct tape on the floor instead of a I couldn't believe it. I was absolutely disgusted. And I know this business. I know the owners. I know the management companies like guys, this is not cool. I got out and you know what they offered me? They came back. The manager, the hotel manager wrote and complained about this thing she offered me. She said, We'll give you a free night. But no, wait a minute. I'm just complaining. It's like going to a restaurant saying the food is dreadful. And they say, All right, I'll tell you what. Why don't you come back again? We'll give you some more dreadful food.   Speaker 4 (00:21:00) - What?   Sam Wilson (00:21:01) - That's. Oh, man, that's a very, very. Yes, very. Through the way you live and learn, though it's an iterative process. Just Hey.   Adam Gower (00:21:08) - Listen, hang on. Sorry. We're kind of going off on a bit of a tangent because I'm a bit hyper caffeinated, but what your what are your listeners want to hear about raising capital at the moment? Let's give them something really tangible and, you know, something you can use when you leave the call today.   Sam Wilson (00:21:23) - That's absolutely I'm glad we're making this segue because there's there's two things I want to talk about. One is how you are changing your capital raising strategy because capital raising has become immeasurably harder, I think, for everyone. I'm certainly seeing that in what we're doing. People are sitting tight. They're holding on to their wallets. They're just kind of going, Oh, crud. Like you said, maybe it was you that said this or maybe the last podcast Guest I think it was maybe the last one. We were talking a seven on a multifamily deal. Just isn't that compelling when I can get five and a half at the credit union, right? Like what? What are you guys doing? What are some strategies you're taking right now that are and again, not that we want to convince people to invest, but we want to give them compelling reasons to invest. What are you guys doing differently?   Adam Gower (00:22:12) - Well, yeah, I would say that it's not that you want to convince people to invest. You want to give people a solutions to the problems that they have, and that is if you've got a good asset class and you are able to make money, then you have what investors want.   Adam Gower (00:22:28) - You've just got to be able to articulate what it is that you have. That's that's kind of the way I think about this business, is that really, you know, a successful real estate sponsor has exactly what everybody wants, right? We've got ongoing income, passive income, which is just an IRS term, but you're offering ongoing income on your investment and to build wealth. Who doesn't want that, Right? Everybody wants that, Right. The challenge is that investors, everybody is skeptical. So they hear about you the first time and you say, here, I'm going to give you a passive income and build your wealth. That's what they want. But they're skeptical. They don't trust you. They want to be sure that you're not, you know, in a basement somewhere, you know, putting it in your pocket and whatever, buying Rolls-Royces all the time with their money. Right. Right. So you've got to get over that hurdle. Now, during the good times, it's actually not difficult because people are making money hand over fist and they're just looking for alternatives.   Adam Gower (00:23:31) - They're less skeptical because there's less bad news and in the news. Right. About what's going on. So during a downturn and this is also true, in fact, during good times, but particularly during a downturn, there are two things that you have to do, right? So these are practical with underlying this podcast to this point, whatever minute we're at here right now, this is something you can actually take away and use immediately. The first thing that you have to do is address the concern that your prospects have immediately. So whatever that concern might be, don't hide away. Don't hide that and pretend it doesn't exist. Deal with it immediately. Because if you don't deal with it immediately, no matter what else you say, the conversation that your prospect is going to be having in their own mind is, Yes, but what about this? And today and we know this from the advertising campaigns, we run for clients and also from a multi sponsor investor sentiment survey that we ran recently. Investors, including you, probably you as in you, dear viewer or listener to this podcast, are concerned mostly about protecting your money.   Adam Gower (00:24:50) - You don't want to be losing all your money when values drop. And and you're seeing the commercial real estate really hitting some some choppy waters. So the first concern you have is not to lose money, right? So when you communicate with sponsors I'm sorry, with prospects at the moment, the language you want to be using, language patterns you want to be using or specifically protecting the investment, protecting your investment. Don't use clever terms like principle preservation. You and I know what that means, but investors use a different kind of language and you always want to use the same language your investors use because you want to be understood. So protecting the investment is very important. So in your communications, this can be on any kind of ad campaigns that you have or any kind of newsletter you put out, any kind of pitch that you put out. Start with how you protect the downside. What are you doing exactly? How much debt are you taking on? Is it fixed? Is it a variable? If it's variable, why are you choosing to do variable today? What kind of leverage have you got? Have you underwritten your deal? Do you want me to stop? I see you.   Sam Wilson (00:26:09) - We are. We are in the final 30s and we got it. We got to hang hang it up, unfortunately. But this is gold. So I want you to finish out this thought because I think I will do our investors, but our listeners are really going to get something out of it.   Adam Gower (00:26:22) - Yeah. So this is really important. So. So you want to be addressing how you're going to protect their investment. That's the first thing. And then you can start or at least that needs to be the bulk of what you of your communication. The second thing that you need to do, communicate regularly. Oh, my goodness. Don't just not pitch all the time. Educate, talk about what's going in the market, what are going on, what are you seeing? How are capital markets? What's going on with interest rates? How are you dealing with them? What are you doing at cetera? Be don't pitch educate about these key issues. Those are the two things that we should have started with that Sam.   Sam Wilson (00:27:00) - Now think it's been great. Dr. Adam Gower, thank you for taking the time to come back on the show today.

The best way to handle women who are rude, condescending & abusive to set healthy boundaries. In this video coaching newsletter I discuss an email from a viewer who is new to my work. He's been following me for several months and has read 3% Man, 3 times so far. His wife has really become abusive, snippy, condescending, sarcastic and loses her temper at the drop of a dime. It's clear she has totally lost respect for him. He's struggling to set and enforce healthy boundaries. She seems to avoid him most of the time and she is just simply unpleasant to be around. She has totally lost respect for him and they only have physical intimacy every few months. If you have not read my book, “How To Be A 3% Man” yet, that would be a good starting place for you.

On this installment of The Corner, we review Diddy's "The Love Album: Off The Grid". Man this album takes you all through 90's & 00's with the sounds from those times but it sounds fresh and pristine. Diddy called on some certified hit makers to help bring this project together and it was crafted damn well. Let us know if you checked out the project and what you thought!

Matthew 16:24-28 Then Jesus said to his disciples, “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me. For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will find it. What good will it be for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul? Or what can anyone give in exchange for their soul? For the Son of Man is going to come in his Father's glory with his angels, and then he will reward each person according to what they have done. “Truly I tell you, some who are standing here will not taste death before they see the Son of Man coming in his kingdom.”

I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Tuesday morning, the 19th of September, 2023, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today. We start in 2 Timothy 3 and I am reading from verse 16: "All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work." And then we go straight to the Book of Ephesians 6:17:"…and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God;…'" And then lastly the Gospel of John 1:1-3: "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made." We are talking about the Lord Jesus Christ of course. He is the Word. Now, some of us today have forgotten to use our swords. It's the only weapon that the Lord speaks about. All the other armour we put on, the helmet of salvation, the breastplate of righteousness, the belt - all for defence. The sword is the weapon that destroys the enemy. Now, come on, let's be honest, some of us haven't got our swords out for a very long time. They are rusty, they are blunt, you have even forgotten where you have put it! You know, I am laughing but it is not funny, is it?You see, the devil will not leave your family, will not leave your home if you are standing there shouting, ranting and raving. No, he is not concerned about that. It is only when we get out that sharp two-edged sword, the word of God, and we quote scripture, that's Jesus speaking. "Man shall not live by bread alone" - scripture; "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me" - scripture; "My God shall supply all of my needs according to His riches in glory" - scripture, that is when he backs off. This battle you and I are involved in is not physical. No, it's a spiritual battle that can only be won when we use spiritual weapons. "Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,' Says the Lord of hosts."Zachariah 4:6Have you ever seen those sword-fighters, those fencers? It is an Olympic sport. It started a thousand years ago in ancient Egypt. Those people practice, and they are disciplined. You and I need to get that sword out, sharpen it up and start using it systematically daily. We need to understand what we are reading. If you need help understanding the translation, get an easy one you can understand. Read the Old Testament and the New Testament every single day. Read it in the first person, e.g., Psalm 23 - "The Lord is Angus' shepherd, Angus shall not want." Then the Bible will come alive, and you can use it effectively.Have a wonderful day,Jesus bless you and goodbye.

The Son of Man came eating and drinking and you said, ‘Look, he is a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners.' But wisdom is vindicated by all her children.” Luke 7:32–35Ecclesiastes 3 is a very popular reading for funerals. It says, “There is an appointed time for everything, and a time for every affair under the heavens. A time to give birth, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to uproot the plant…A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance.” This reading is consoling to those who are mourning at a funeral because life is filled with many different emotions and experiences. When those at a funeral think about their loved one, they will recall both the good times and the bad, the sorrows and the joys. Doing so helps remind them that even though the funeral is a time of sorrow, joys will follow in the future. This is the natural rhythm of life.In our Gospel today, Jesus challenged those who failed to have the proper human response at the right time. “We played the flute for you, but you did not dance. We sang a dirge, but you did not weep.” The image of playing a flute and singing a dirge and the subsequent failure to dance and weep reveals a certain disconnect that many people had to John the Baptist and to Jesus Himself during their ministries. In commenting upon this passage, Saint Augustine says that John the Baptist's preaching was like a dirge that called people to the “weeping” of repentance. However, when he preached, there were many who failed to respond with the appropriate repentance. When Jesus came, He preached and gave witness to the new life of grace that He came to bestow. Though some listened and responded to Him, there were many who did not. Jesus' message was like the music of the flute that was to inspire people to “dance.” But many failed to respond with the joy that they were invited to experience and live through His transforming message and grace.There is, indeed, an appointed time for everything and for every affair under Heaven. The mission we have been given is to be attentive to that which God is speaking to us at each and every moment of our lives. At times we must “weep” by looking at our sins honestly, experience the horror of those sins, and passionately reject them. At other times we will “dance” when God invites us into His consoling grace and asks us to see clearly His merciful love. At those moments we are invited to be deeply grateful and to express that gratitude with our whole souls.Reflect, today, upon the calling you have been given to live in a well-ordered way. Do so by considering how attentive you are to the people around you. Does the attentiveness of your charity help you to see the hurt within the hearts of those who are suffering? Are you compelled to offer them a compassionate ear and merciful heart? When others are experiencing the joys of life, are you able to share that joy with them? Can you do so fully, without jealousy or envy of any kind? When God inspires you to some act of conversion and bestows some grace, do you listen and promptly obey, responding in the most appropriate way? Our souls must become sensitive to the promptings of grace and must respond accordingly. Seek to have a well-ordered soul so that you will live and experience the life that God places before you each day in accord with His perfect will.Lord, Your soul was perfectly ordered, always responding to the will of the Father with perfection. You were firm when love demanded it, courageous in the face of hardship, merciful to the repentant sinner, and joyful at the conversion of all. Please help me to always be attentive to the promptings of Your grace and to always respond to You in the way I am called. Jesus, I trust in You.

The media got the memo: Dump Biden. CNN did an entire segment on fabricated stories told by the Figurehead about his past. We also hear a statement from the Figurehead about how he thinks the media is attacking the economy. Today we discuss the state and future of the economy and how the media isn't attacking it; the American people are just waking up.What does God's Word say? Matthew 20:28 28 just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”John 13:1-17 Jesus Washes His Disciples' Feet13 It was just before the Passover Festival. Jesus knew that the hour had come for him to leave this world and go to the Father. Having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end.2 The evening meal was in progress, and the devil had already prompted Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot, to betray Jesus. 3 Jesus knew that the Father had put all things under his power, and that he had come from God and was returning to God; 4 so he got up from the meal, took off his outer clothing, and wrapped a towel around his waist. 5 After that, he poured water into a basin and began to wash his disciples' feet, drying them with the towel that was wrapped around him.6 He came to Simon Peter, who said to him, “Lord, are you going to wash my feet?”7 Jesus replied, “You do not realize now what I am doing, but later you will understand.”8 “No,” said Peter, “you shall never wash my feet.”Jesus answered, “Unless I wash you, you have no part with me.”9 “Then, Lord,” Simon Peter replied, “not just my feet but my hands and my head as well!”10 Jesus answered, “Those who have had a bath need only to wash their feet; their whole body is clean. And you are clean, though not every one of you.” 11 For he knew who was going to betray him, and that was why he said not every one was clean.12 When he had finished washing their feet, he put on his clothes and returned to his place. “Do you understand what I have done for you?” he asked them. 13 “You call me ‘Teacher' and ‘Lord,' and rightly so, for that is what I am. 14 Now that I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also should wash one another's feet. 15 I have set you an example that you should do as I have done for you. 16 Very truly I tell you, no servant is greater than his master, nor is a messenger greater than the one who sent him. 17 Now that you know these things, you will be blessed if you do them.Episode Links:BIDEN: "I hate the phrase 'public servants!'"@RepJerryNadler, @AOC and other democratic congress members' press conference in New York over illegal immigration turns chaotic with people shouting "close the freaking border" and pro-immigrant groups shouting back, saying everyone in the US came from another country but they have now forgotten, and should help immigrants like themselves and their parents and grandparents rather than demonize themAOC got the same treatment at the same event.

Austin Blake started his business, Stackd Brownies, while playing around in the kitchen with his family. “COVID hit and that's when everything kind of shut down,” Blake said. “Everything was not what was expected. So during that time, my parents were not doing much. I wasn't doing much during that time and during that time we were in the kitchen. We were playing and food was always in our background. We love food. Going through social media and seeing how viral other baked goods places were all over the country — we're like, ‘Man, it'd be cool to get in that world.'” As the family was looking for the best way to break into the bakery business, they discovered that brownies were under-represented online. “We took it a little bit further and made round crispy edge delicious brownies — because that's what is everyone's favorite — it was either ‘Hey, I want the crispy edge' or ‘I want the fudgy inside.' So we created a combo of both to create everyone's happy middle,” Blake said. Stackd specializes in brownies, but their menu doesn't stop there. “We make more than just brownies; brownie stuffed cannolis, brownie ice cream, brownie croissants — brownie, everything. So we're a full bakery of brownies, which makes it more exciting than just one brownie,” Blake said. Once they settled on a concept, Blake and his family dove in headfirst and opened a brick-and-mortar location. “Our first location in Lake Mary was kind of in like a building type place — if someone looks up, they'll see we were in an office building,” Blake said. “We were there purposely to prove the concept, to see if we had legs in the market to bring brownies into a retail setting.” It took a lot of hard work just to get people through the door of the first location. “It was in an office building. When we told people — because on social media we started posting and people like ‘Where's this place?' It's not like it's an easy ‘Hey, it's right next to Publix.' We're an office building. So we were outside. We were at the farmers market to start to tell people who we are and where we are — like we're actually a real company,” Blake said. The work paid off and the family business has now expanded to four locations around Central Florida. Two of the locations have since been sold as franchises. “We have great owners that were able to see the opportunity and want to be a part of it,” Blake said. “Things are going very well. We're actually turning our two other stores into franchises. We're going to sell those off as well. So then we can basically go full steam ahead into franchising and create a foundation to grow all over this state.” On the latest episode of Florida Foodie, Blake talks more about his plans to franchise Stackd Brownies. He also talks about the myriad of flavors available to customers and balancing his work while caring for a newborn. Please follow our Florida Foodie hosts on social media.

Psalms and Wisdom: Psalm 49 Psalm 49 (Listen) Why Should I Fear in Times of Trouble? To the choirmaster. A Psalm of the Sons of Korah. 49   Hear this, all peoples!    Give ear, all inhabitants of the world,2   both low and high,    rich and poor together!3   My mouth shall speak wisdom;    the meditation of my heart shall be understanding.4   I will incline my ear to a proverb;    I will solve my riddle to the music of the lyre. 5   Why should I fear in times of trouble,    when the iniquity of those who cheat me surrounds me,6   those who trust in their wealth    and boast of the abundance of their riches?7   Truly no man can ransom another,    or give to God the price of his life,8   for the ransom of their life is costly    and can never suffice,9   that he should live on forever    and never see the pit. 10   For he sees that even the wise die;    the fool and the stupid alike must perish    and leave their wealth to others.11   Their graves are their homes forever,1    their dwelling places to all generations,    though they called lands by their own names.12   Man in his pomp will not remain;    he is like the beasts that perish. 13   This is the path of those who have foolish confidence;    yet after them people approve of their boasts.2 Selah14   Like sheep they are appointed for Sheol;    death shall be their shepherd,  and the upright shall rule over them in the morning.    Their form shall be consumed in Sheol, with no place to dwell.15   But God will ransom my soul from the power of Sheol,    for he will receive me. Selah 16   Be not afraid when a man becomes rich,    when the glory of his house increases.17   For when he dies he will carry nothing away;    his glory will not go down after him.18   For though, while he lives, he counts himself blessed    —and though you get praise when you do well for yourself—19   his soul will go to the generation of his fathers,    who will never again see light.20   Man in his pomp yet without understanding is like the beasts that perish. Footnotes [1] 49:11 Septuagint, Syriac, Targum; Hebrew Their inward thought was that their homes were forever [2] 49:13 Or and of those after them who approve of their boasts (ESV) Pentateuch and History: 2 Samuel 9 2 Samuel 9 (Listen) David's Kindness to Mephibosheth 9 And David said, “Is there still anyone left of the house of Saul, that I may show him kindness for Jonathan's sake?” 2 Now there was a servant of the house of Saul whose name was Ziba, and they called him to David. And the king said to him, “Are you Ziba?” And he said, “I am your servant.” 3 And the king said, “Is there not still someone of the house of Saul, that I may show the kindness of God to him?” Ziba said to the king, “There is still a son of Jonathan; he is crippled in his feet.” 4 The king said to him, “Where is he?” And Ziba said to the king, “He is in the house of Machir the son of Ammiel, at Lo-debar.” 5 Then King David sent and brought him from the house of Machir the son of Ammiel, at Lo-debar. 6 And Mephibosheth the son of Jonathan, son of Saul, came to David and fell on his face and paid homage. And David said, “Mephibosheth!” And he answered, “Behold, I am your servant.” 7 And David said to him, “Do not fear, for I will show you kindness for the sake of your father Jonathan, and I will restore to you all the land of Saul your father, and you shall eat at my table always.” 8 And he paid homage and said, “What is your servant, that you should show regard for a dead dog such as I?” 9 Then the king called Ziba, Saul's servant, and said to him, “All that belonged to Saul and to all his house I have given to your master's grandson. 10 And you and your sons and your servants shall till the land for him and shall bring in the produce, that your master's grandson may have bread to eat. But Mephibosheth your master's grandson shall always eat at my table.” Now Ziba had fifteen sons and twenty servants. 11 Then Ziba said to the king, “According to all that my lord the king commands his servant, so will your servant do.” So Mephibosheth ate at David's1 table, like one of the king's sons. 12 And Mephibosheth had a young son, whose name was Mica. And all who lived in Ziba's house became Mephibosheth's servants. 13 So Mephibosheth lived in Jerusalem, for he ate always at the king's table. Now he was lame in both his feet. Footnotes [1] 9:11 Septuagint; Hebrew my (ESV) Chronicles and Prophets: Ezekiel 9 Ezekiel 9 (Listen) Idolaters Killed 9 Then he cried in my ears with a loud voice, saying, “Bring near the executioners of the city, each with his destroying weapon in his hand.” 2 And behold, six men came from the direction of the upper gate, which faces north, each with his weapon for slaughter in his hand, and with them was a man clothed in linen, with a writing case at his waist. And they went in and stood beside the bronze altar. 3 Now the glory of the God of Israel had gone up from the cherub on which it rested to the threshold of the house. And he called to the man clothed in linen, who had the writing case at his waist. 4 And the LORD said to him, “Pass through the city, through Jerusalem, and put a mark on the foreheads of the men who sigh and groan over all the abominations that are committed in it.” 5 And to the others he said in my hearing, “Pass through the city after him, and strike. Your eye shall not spare, and you shall show no pity. 6 Kill old men outright, young men and maidens, little children and women, but touch no one on whom is the mark. And begin at my sanctuary.” So they began with the elders who were before the house. 7 Then he said to them, “Defile the house, and fill the courts with the slain. Go out.” So they went out and struck in the city. 8 And while they were striking, and I was left alone, I fell upon my face, and cried, “Ah, Lord GOD! Will you destroy all the remnant of Israel in the outpouring of your wrath on Jerusalem?” 9 Then he said to me, “The guilt of the house of Israel and Judah is exceedingly great. The land is full of blood, and the city full of injustice. For they say, ‘The LORD has forsaken the land, and the LORD does not see.' 10 As for me, my eye will not spare, nor will I have pity; I will bring their deeds upon their heads.” 11 And behold, the man clothed in linen, with the writing case at his waist, brought back word, saying, “I have done as you commanded me.” (ESV) Gospels and Epistles: Luke 12:49–13:9 Luke 12:49–13:9 (Listen) Not Peace, but Division 49 “I came to cast fire on the earth, and would that it were already kindled! 50 I have a baptism to be baptized with, and how great is my distress until it is accomplished! 51 Do you think that I have come to give peace on earth? No, I tell you, but rather division. 52 For from now on in one house there will be five divided, three against two and two against three. 53 They will be divided, father against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law.” Interpreting the Time 54 He also said to the crowds, “When you see a cloud rising in the west, you say at once, ‘A shower is coming.' And so it happens. 55 And when you see the south wind blowing, you say, ‘There will be scorching heat,' and it happens. 56 You hypocrites! You know how to interpret the appearance of earth and sky, but why do you not know how to interpret the present time? Settle with Your Accuser 57 “And why do you not judge for yourselves what is right? 58 As you go with your accuser before the magistrate, make an effort to settle with him on the way, lest he drag you to the judge, and the judge hand you over to the officer, and the officer put you in prison. 59 I tell you, you will never get out until you have paid the very last penny.”1 Repent or Perish 13 There were some present at that very time who told him about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices. 2 And he answered them, “Do you think that these Galileans were worse sinners than all the other Galileans, because they suffered in this way? 3 No, I tell you; but unless you repent, you will all likewise perish. 4 Or those eighteen on whom the tower in Siloam fell and killed them: do you think that they were worse offenders than all the others who lived in Jerusalem? 5 No, I tell you; but unless you repent, you will all likewise perish.” The Parable of the Barren Fig Tree 6 And he told this parable: “A man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard, and he came seeking fruit on it and found none. 7 And he said to the vinedresser, ‘Look, for three years now I have come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and I find none. Cut it down. Why should it use up the ground?' 8 And he answered him, ‘Sir, let it alone this year also, until I dig around it and put on manure. 9 Then if it should bear fruit next year, well and good; but if not, you can cut it down.'” Footnotes [1] 12:59 Greek lepton, a Jewish bronze or copper coin worth about 1/128 of a denarius (which was a day's wage for a laborer) (ESV)

There have been a lot of special moments already this season, but Orlando City's three-goal rally from down 3-1 to up 4-3 at the death on Saturday night against the Columbus Crew was special. The Lions came roaring back behind Martin Ojeda, Facundo Torres, and Ramiro Enrique, who somehow found himself in the right place at the right time repeatedly against the Crew. We look back on the lineup changes, the big moments, and a crazy night that was reminiscent of "drunk OCB" at Exploria Stadium. We discuss the Lions who were honored for that performance, check back on our score predictions and make our selections for Man of the Match. Following our look back at Saturday's win, we welcome Andrew Leigh from Hudson River Blue to discuss Wednesday's road game against New York City FC. The Lions haven't always fared well on the baseball diamonds in the north, and Andrew was kind enough to give us an update on the state of the Pigeons. After our chat with Andrew, we discussed Orlando City B's playoff-clinching draw (followed by a shootout win) at Chicago Fire FC II. We honestly should have given this game more time but our Crew rewind and interview ran long (what else is new?), and the important thing is that the Young Lions are in the postseason. We also looked into our mailbagbox, where we were asked about numerous things and we had an answer for all of them, including our three worst Orlando City moments. Remember, if there's anything — and we do mean anything — you want us to address on the show, just ask us by tweeting it to us at @TheManeLand with the hashtag #AskTMLPC. Finally, we previewed Orlando City at New York City FC, giving you our key matchups and score predictions for the midweek match. Here's how No. 376 went down: 0:15 – Orlando City's massive comeback to down Columbus at the death. 34:09 – Andrew Leigh tells us all about New York City FC and playing on baseball fields. 59:05 – OCB in the MLS NEXT Pro playoffs, our mailbagbox, and our key matchups and predictions for the Lions' trip to play NYCFC on Wednesday.

Why masculinity is calm in the face of adversity and how this turns women on. In this video coaching newsletter I discuss an email success story that perfectly illustrates how masculinity is calm and really turns women on. He was in what looked like a really bad car accident, but he and the other driver were ok. He shares what he said to his girlfriend right after the accident and how this turned her on. The female cop was even impressed and admired how calm he was after such a traumatic event. If you have not read my book, “How To Be A 3% Man” yet, that would be a good starting place for you.

Man skal høre sandheden fra børn og fulde folk, det er sådan udtrykket går, men hvad så når børn begynder at tale med, eller om, de døde?

Welcome to another episode of our “Best Of” Series on The Literary Life with Angelina Stanford, Cindy Rollins, and Thomas Banks. Both this week and next, our hosts will be discussing J. R. R. Tolkien's short story “Leaf by Niggle“. Angelina sets the stage with a little historical background on Tolkien's writing of this story as well as some thoughts on allegory and how to read a fairy tale. She talks about this story as an exploration of the struggle of the ideals and demands of art against the demands of practical life and the question of whether or not art is useful. Cindy shares her ideas about the importance of the Inklings for Tolkien to get his work out into the world. Angelina shares about the type of journey on which the main character, Niggle, is called to go on in this story. As you read, we encourage you to look for how Tolkien harmonizes the different tensions within the story. Commonplace Quotes: Here are some of the points which make a story worth studying to tell to the nestling listeners in many a sweet “Children's Hour”;––graceful and artistic details; moral impulse of a high order, conveyed with a strong and delicate touch; sweet human affection; a tender, fanciful link between the children and the Nature-world; humour, pathos, righteous satire, and last, but not least, the fact that the story does not turn on children, and does not foster that self-consciousness, the dawn of which in the child is, perhaps, the individual “Fall of Man.” Charlotte Mason The essay began by noting that total war was underway, with fighting not only “in the field and on the sea and in the air,” but also in “the realm of ideas.” It said: “The mightiest single weapon this war has yet employed” was “not a plane, or a bomb or a juggernaut of tanks”–it was Mein Kampf. This single book caused an educated nation to “burn the great books that keep liberty fresh in the hearts of men.” If America's goal was victory and world peace, “all of us will have to know more and think better than our enemies think and know,” the council asserted. “This was is a war of books. . . Books are our weapons.” Molly Guptill Manning, quoting from the essay “Books and the War” In everything I have sought peace and not found it, save in a corner with a book. Thomas à Kempis Milton by Edward Muir Milton, his face set fair for Paradise, And knowing that he and Paradise were lost In separate desolation, bravely crossed Into his second night and paid his price. There towards the end he to the dark tower came Set square in the gate, a mass of blackened stone Crowned with vermilion fiends like streamers blown From a great funnel filled with roaring flame. Shut in his darkness, these he could not see, But heard the steely clamour known too well On Saturday nights in every street in Hell. Where, past the devilish din, could Paradise be? A footstep more, and his unblinded eyes Saw far and near the fields of Paradise.

We continue our talk on A Man's Place and I titled the show, Are We Having Fun Yet? How To Enjoy Life & Not Merely Survive It. My catalyst was Connor Beaton, founder of ManTalks, an international organization focused on men's wellness, success, and fulfillment, author of Mens Work: A Practical Guide To Face Your Darkness, End Self-Sabotage, And Find Freedom and host of the Man Talks podcast. Now I'm with Dr Randy James. Randy is truly my best friend and we've walked through life together for a good decade and a half. Randy and I started off discussing what the point is. When do we leave childhood and school and say, “Ok, I'm done having any fun and enjoying and experiencing this life, now I'll just be responsible and devote the rest of my days to the grind of life.?” That sounds exaggerated, but are we living lives that our kids or young people would be inspired to pursue? No wonder kids aren't leaving home soon these days. The point isn't just to have fun. I'd argue that pursuing great purpose and fulfillment eclipses mere fun. But should we truly enjoy our lives? Solomon in the Bible said, and I paraphrase, “I tried it all, all variations of life, and t's all vanity. Ultimately nothing is better for a man than that he should eat and drink, and that his soul should enjoy good in his labor. This also, I saw, was from the hand of God.” So Randy and I have a candid talk about work and family and responsibility and finding true joy and tending to our hearts and souls, as men, but the message is relevant to all.

Check it out below: Daniel Holmlund (00:00:00) - We went and raised a large chunk of money for them and negotiated with them for better terms, and then an individual would get coming in. And it really dawned on me this year that being able to find better terms is the name of the game. And the only way you can really do that is through scaling. Welcome to the How to Scale commercial real estate show.   Sam Wilson (00:00:23) - Whether you are an active or passive investor, we'll teach you how to scale your real estate investing business into something big. Daniel Hamlin started the Alternative Investing Club, which helps educate people in creating an ownership culture. And he's also an active commercial real estate investor in Daniel. I know that that bio just doesn't even remotely capture everything that you've done in commercial real estate, but either way, it's great to have you on the show.   Daniel Holmlund (00:00:53) - Hey Sam, it's great to be here. I love seeing that you put out a daily podcast and I know a little bit about the rigor that that entails. So congratulations to you too.   Sam Wilson (00:01:02) - Well, we have to I can't say it's daily anymore.   Sam Wilson (00:01:06) - Regrettably, we did seven. I don't know who is. We? We got a mouse in my pocket. I did. I do have a lot of help. So maybe it is we it is definitely a we. Podcasting is a wee wee sport, but we did 720 episodes. So two years straight daily and then we've moved to three days a week. So it yeah, we're only at three days a week now. I can't claim a daily real estate show anymore, but either way, Daniel, this show was about you, not me. There are three questions I ask every guest who comes on the show in 90s or less. Can you tell me where did you start? Where are you now and how did you get there?   Daniel Holmlund (00:01:38) - Sure. So when I was little, my grandparents bought a apartment complex. After my grandfather retired from International Harvester, it was only after he retired from his full time job and bought real estate that he actually amassed a new wealth. And that kind of struck me as a ten year old.   Daniel Holmlund (00:01:54) - So I started right out of college, buying properties in single family homes, usually adding a little value there, flipping them. That was in 2002. I invested as hard money lender from overseas, actually all during 2006 to 2008. I ended up through the 2008 with a couple of houses that hard money lenders didn't want to pay me back for. Kept those for a little while and then founded Good Samaritan Capital, which is a syndication and private equity real estate company in 2018. And I have been working on private equity commercial deals ever since.   Sam Wilson (00:02:34) - Okay, that is really cool. I mean, but you've also held a W-2 here until recently, if I'm not mistaken.   Daniel Holmlund (00:02:42) - Yeah. Yeah. So I until just this year, I was full time at Intel where I worked on video and and artificial intelligence was a trainer for these. So didn't actually write the software. But I trained people in how to use it. And I also started the real estate club at Intel, which has been going now strong for four years.   Daniel Holmlund (00:03:04) - It's just exited Intel and we rebranded ourselves the Alternative Investing Club. And it is we bring a speaker in every single Friday and just learn from great people who are out there doing it.   Sam Wilson (00:03:19) - Let's stay there for just a second because I think this is something really cool that you set up there at Intel. You guys, like you said, you had a weekly meeting. You brought in a speaker every Friday. I think you had, you know, parameters around it which make all the sense in the world. It's a no pitch educational only. And I actually got to present there for you.   Daniel Holmlund (00:03:36) - Yeah you did you it on syndicating parking lots.   Sam Wilson (00:03:38) - Yeah. This was three years ago.   Daniel Holmlund (00:03:40) - Three years ago. Yeah. Yeah.   Sam Wilson (00:03:41) - 3 or 3 and a half even. But it was fun. Yeah, it was great. It was great. It was great to be there. One. How did you build that club and then what advice would you give to somebody else thinking about that? Because, I mean, you guys are at Intel.   Sam Wilson (00:03:54) - You're not there to talk about real estate. You're talking, you know, microprocessors and all the other probably 800 billion things that Intel involved in.   Daniel Holmlund (00:04:00) - Yeah, Yeah. And you know, actually, I not only helped to build the club at Intel, but in 2021, I started just a small pro-bono mastermind helping other people start clubs. And we, we helped start the club with me over at Walmart, over at Netflix, at Cisco, at We revitalized the club over at Apple. We started one at Facebook. And so we we built a little bit of a network there and they're actually totally independent from me and off doing their own deals, starting their own clubs. But in Intel, I basically went into and said, I see you've got a stock company or a stock club. I see you've got a startup club and I want to run the real estate club. And my advice to people wanting to do that is figure out who to talk to at and make sure that you you frame it in terms of I am making this company a better place to be, right? You know, Intel needs to be a great place to work.   Daniel Holmlund (00:04:58) - And because of that, we're starting this club, which is purely educational and and also networking.   Sam Wilson (00:05:04) - Right, Right. That's cool. That's cool. Yeah. Love that. I mean, again, I've never spent a day in corporate America, so wouldn't even know where to start on that front. Like, oh.   Daniel Holmlund (00:05:14) - Hell, some corporations are. Ah love the idea that you have the enthusiasm, some are really conscientious and they'll put like the the compliance officers in the audience to, to monitor you, which, you know, you should be compliant. You should be running a purely educational club. Right. So, you know, just work with them and make sure that you keep the people happy and provide great speakers to your club members.   Sam Wilson (00:05:40) - Right. Right. No, I think that's great. How long did it take for you to get traction on that front?   Daniel Holmlund (00:05:45) - Oh, gosh. You know, my first four months running that club, I was embarrassed to go out to speakers. I was like, We're the Intel club.   Daniel Holmlund (00:05:53) - We've got like 12 people that are showing up. Yeah, but around what I did that actually grew the club is I went to other clubs and there's a, there's a 20 and 30 professional club called called Next Gen professionals at Intel. And I said to them, Hey, can I get on your calendar? And this is what we we do. So I went and networked with other clubs and that's actually what caused my my growth to explode. And you can see a very nice progression up over the last three and a half years. We're now at almost 1100 members.   Sam Wilson (00:06:29) - Wow. That's really, really impressive. And that's something I mean, I'm assuming you've done essentially with no marketing, no advertising.   Daniel Holmlund (00:06:39) - In fact, I was forbidden from doing that. It didn't sell. It was all word of mouth. Right.   Sam Wilson (00:06:43) - Right. Oh, that's really, really cool. I love that. And I think that's the other thing is I think even back to launching a podcast or it was like, you know, I don't know where we are 800 and 3050 episodes, somewhere in that range.   Sam Wilson (00:06:58) - It's like the first few episodes. It's like, Man, why am I doing this? Like I think I had? I think God bless the guy that came on with seven downloads, I think was on my first episode published like, Oh, after a week I had seven listens whoop de stinkin do. Why are we doing this? And obviously that's changed. But I think anybody starting out scaling what they're doing just has to note there's that incubation period, there's the embrace, the suck period of like, well, hey. Oh yeah, Pat in your hand, will you come talk to my 12 friends at Intel?   Daniel Holmlund (00:07:30) - Because our group is at the very beginning of the club, we actually used to reserve a room and physically go there. And I realized one particular time nobody showed up in the room, but there was like 15 people online. And I looked at them. They were all in the same building as I was in. They were just at their desks. And so you go through periods like that, right? Right.   Sam Wilson (00:07:51) - And did you go and did that change the model or the way that you did it from then on? Did you do it all remote after that?   Daniel Holmlund (00:07:56) - It's completely remote. Most of our most of our attendees, the number one spot is actually from Folsom, California. Number two is Portland, Oregon. Number three is is Phoenix, Arizona. So we're a lot of West Coasters. There's some Texas and Virginia and other places thrown in. But but, yeah.   Sam Wilson (00:08:13) - Got it. Oh, that's really, really cool. I love that. And so how did you how did you take that club out of Intel? I mean, did you just take all your email list and say, All right, guys, we're going to move this club? I'm not hosting it here at Intel anymore because I've stopped working for.   Daniel Holmlund (00:08:28) - Pretty much, yeah, over over about a eight week period. I said, first of all, we posted all of our videos internally at while the club was happening in Intel, only Intel employees were allowed to go there.   Daniel Holmlund (00:08:41) - So we posted our videos internally. We couldn't even send them to our speakers. Right? And well, actually, that's not true. We could send them to our speakers, but we asked they not share them. Right. And so and the reason why is because Intel wanted to protect the the privacy of their employees. And that was the policy that we had to abide by. Right. And so going out of Intel, it's been a big process. We basically told everybody, hey, if you want to continue coming to the group, sign up on this external emailing list in order to get on the group and we're going to go through all the videos and make sure that names are blurred out that you know, and anything that reveals any sort of employee name or data is taken out. And which was hard because we did question and answers where would say Bob is asking da da da da da da, right? And I realized actually early on that just using first names and not whole names was a good way to go because it meant a whole lot less editing.   Daniel Holmlund (00:09:40) - Right? But basically we just told the told the group that we were moving externally and we moved over to Alternative Investing Club. Com and that's where we're hosting now.   Sam Wilson (00:09:51) - That's really cool. Yeah. I love I love the idea of protecting the kind of the privacy of the people who are in the meeting. I made it here's a here's a rookie mistake I made the other day. Daniel I was doing a webinar and I didn't and I was using Zoom and I'm too cheap to pay for the, the like the webinar version of Zoom because it's like another, you know, I do like two webinars a year. So I was like and I pay for obviously.   Daniel Holmlund (00:10:15) - Like 400 bucks isn't it? It's something like that.   Sam Wilson (00:10:18) - But a.   Daniel Holmlund (00:10:19) - Month.   Sam Wilson (00:10:19) - It's high. When you tack on the webinar feature, I'm like, Man, I don't really care about that. And you can do speaker only view because none of that, none of the attendees in the webinar needed to be there. But I failed to do that.   Sam Wilson (00:10:30) - And so it had everybody. His name's who was attending obviously a webinar for our clean Laundry fund. And I'm like, Oh, crud, there's all the type of video editor get in there and blur everything out and like. But it just wasn't quite the same, same but same idea. Or it's like, Oh crud, everybody doesn't want to get advertised. Hey, I was in this meeting and none of my investors want to get advertised to the world that, hey, they were attending a webinar for a clean laundry fund. So it's just like you got to protect those things. So very, very cool. We've talked a lot about the club and how you started at Intel, what you've done to move it to taking it out of the corporate America structure. What are some things you're doing differently now inside of that club that maybe you couldn't do before at Intel?   Daniel Holmlund (00:11:12) - Uh, well, for one thing, we're beginning to bring in actual, you know, pitches to the club. So if people want to come in and talk about their clean laundry fund, we're doing more of that where it actually is listed to the attendees.   Daniel Holmlund (00:11:26) - This this is is a pitch for a particular fund. And this is, you know, this is not a non educational one. One thing that I want to back up and say, actually, is that the the real estate club for me was my launching platform for Starting Good Samaritan Capital. So it was a networking group and I did a ton of networking, never using company resources, always called on Zoom outside of company resources, never doing anything like that. But I built up my investor list that way, and Good Samaritan Capital over the last over the last five years now has participated in 12 syndication deals, um, and two of which we have sponsored and then two fund to fund deals, I'm sorry, three of which we've sponsored and two fund to fund deals. And so our goal was to bring a new high quality vetted investment out to the attendees or people, rather not the attendees, but the people on my investor list. There's actually a lot of people attending who were not on my investor list.   Daniel Holmlund (00:12:32) - Um, and bring it out once a quarter. So we've, we hit that goal every single quarter except for Q4 of 2022 where interest rates were starting to peak up really quickly and liquidity was drying in the market. This is still the current conditions that we're in and I'd love to talk about that as well too.   Sam Wilson (00:12:52) - Yeah, shoot, man. No, let's let's talk about I mean, that's a lot of deals to get done. And that's and you, you essentially what you just said, if I can recap it and clarify is that you built your investor list by hosting these events and by starting these clubs.   Daniel Holmlund (00:13:09) - Absolutely. Yeah, absolutely. You and it's straight out of, you know, the best ever real estate syndication book. Right? Create your thought leadership platform, create a thought leadership platform and become the expert to a group of people that you know and earn their trust through repeatedly being there. Our club has actually had for an average of 49 events on Friday for the past four years. So we we usually don't do the Friday after Thanksgiving and maybe 1 or 2 in December.   Daniel Holmlund (00:13:41) - But other than that, we're there like clockwork and that that's a way to create trust.   Sam Wilson (00:13:47) - Yeah, absolutely. Absolutely. Very, very cool. You wanted to talk about interest rates not getting a deal out in the last quarter. What what what has been your focus and where are you going now that we've kind of, you know.   Daniel Holmlund (00:14:02) - Things, things. Yeah. Yeah. So so it's interesting. I think that a lot of people that are in the real estate market right now are realizing and and actually in the club we've been warning for two years I was joking in back in 2021 about which is more transitory inflation or the Fed or the Fed's reputation. Uh, and and I think now it might be the Fed's reputation, right? And that's, that's actually what we thought back then too. Um, but the writing was on the wall for quite some time. And in fact, one of the reasons I started a real estate company is because I knew I needed to convert all my stock market funds into real estate and hard assets because we were going into an inflationary period.   Daniel Holmlund (00:14:45) - And my my thesis was always that inflation is starting to pick up. The way that governments are spending is going to necessitate that inflation picks up. But all it's going to take is a shock to the system to make it really jump up. Right. And we've seen lots of shocks to the system. Of course, nobody thought Covid would come around, but it only takes the shock to the system and shocks to the system happen a lot. The economy tends to position itself right on the knife's edge, right where, you know, we've borrowed just enough to make inflation. Not a problem if everything goes right. Well, what if everything doesn't go right? You want to be in assets that are tangible and that actually go up in value in inflationary environment. Since that was the core theme to my business, you know, five years ago and the writing was on the wall since, you know, 2013 where we anyway won't go down that route. So, so we, we now are in a period where inflation is kicking up, expenses are going up, the interest rates are going up.   Daniel Holmlund (00:15:50) - This is drying up a lot of liquidity in the market. A lot of lenders have drastically pulled back. I see deals right now that, you know, used to be underwriting for underwritten for 75% LTV loan to value and now they're doing 65 or 60%. And so syndicators are raising a lot more capital in
