Well… Twitter rolls out plans 'to protect' US midterm elections and suppress 'misleading information' Twitter has rolled out some new terms and policies ahead of the 2022 midterm elections, during which the Republican Party is expected to overtake the Democrats to earn a majority in the US House. The election is seen as a barometer of how the Biden administration and their leadership has performed since taking office, and so far, the pressure is definitely on. These changes are in addition to those made in the lead-up to the 2020 presidential election, in which Twitter's suppression and censorship of information played a key role in misinforming the public. Twitter is stepping up to bolster their terms and prevent "misinformation," that catch-all concept for anything that goes against the Democrat-driven narrative. As such, they've announced "steps we're taking ahead of the US midterms to protect civic conversation on Twitter." As they've done in international elections, Twitter is now "activating enforcement" of their "Civic Integrity Policy for the 2022 US midterms." Twitter states that their Civic Integrity Policy "covers the most common types of harmful misleading information about elections and civic events," which include: false claims about how and where to vote, voter intimidation, and "misleading claims intended to undermine public confidence in an election," which includes "false information about the outcome of the election." When Twitter mods encounter information they believe comes under the "harmful misleading information" category, they will "not recommend or amplify this content," and will provide a "prompt prior to liking or sharing labeled tweets, and in cases where there is potential for harm associated with the false or misleading claim, the Tweet may not be liked or shared to precent the spread of the misleading information." In the lead up to the presidential election in 2020, Twitter suppressed and censored reporting by the New York Post that tied then candidate Joe Biden to his son Hunter's overseas business dealings, with insinuations and allegations of influence peddling. Twitter believed reports coming out of the Biden campaign, and other sources, that claimed the information had been obtained through hacking, a disallowable practice, or was "Russian disinformation." This suppression had an impact on the US presidential election, potentially skewing results in Biden's favor, as polls later indicated. https://thepostmillennial.com/breaking-merrick-garland-confirms-he-personally-approved-mar-a-lago-raid-refuses-to-take-questions?utm_campaign=64487 Merrick Garland confirms he personally approved Mar-a-Lago raid, refuses to take questions In a Thursday press briefing, United States Attorney General Merrick Garland confirmed that he "personally approved" of the FBI raid at former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence, and announced that the Justice Department has filed a motion to unseal the search warrant. Garland told the public that "I personally approved the decision to seek a search warrant in this matter," noting that the Justice Department "does not take such a decision lightly." https://rumble.com/v1fng2x-ag-merrick-garland-delivers-a-statement-about-the-fbi-raiding-trump.html - Play Video Garland has about as much spine as a jellyfish… and can I just ask, where were the FBI raids when Hillary Clinton deleted over 30,000 emails, and literally got an ambassador and numerous contractors killed in Benghazi… Where has the FBI been when all of the names and allegations came out about Jeffrey Epstein? Oh by the way, Bill Clinton was on that list… How about the Biden family? How about Hunter Biden’s lap top? How about him spending money on hookers? and their shady business dealings with China? Ladies and gentleman, we need to be praying that our Lord would continue to shine a light in the darkness of our wicked government, and tear down the high places. And before we move onto the next story, make sure you educate your kids away from our government schools… one way to do that would be Classical Conversations!

The revised guidance – released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Thursday – lifts the requirement to quarantine if exposed to the virus, deemphasizes screening people with no symptoms and updates COVID-19 protocols in schools, eliminating a recommendation for test-to-stay after potential exposure. "This guidance acknowledges that the pandemic is not over, but also helps us move to a point where COVID-19 no longer severely disrupts our daily lives," the CDC's Greta Massetti said in a statement. "We know that COVID 19 is here to stay," she added in comments during a briefing with reporters. The update isn't necessarily a huge overhaul of the existing guidance, but it does represent an increasing focus on individuals making their own decisions about their level of risk and how they want to mitigate that risk, said Dr. Marcus Plescia, chief medical officer for the Association of State and Territorial Health Officials. "That is consistent with where we are in the pandemic right now," he said. "I don't really think there are many state or local jurisdictions that are feeling they're going to need to start making mandates." It also brings the recommendations for unvaccinated people in line with people who are fully vaccinated – an acknowledgment of the high levels of population immunity in the U.S., due to vaccination, past COVID-19 infections or both. "Based on the latest ... data, it's around 95% of the population," Massetti said, "And so it really makes the most sense to not differentiate," since many people have some protection against severe disease. The changes could have some of the biggest impact in K-12 schools. The guidance eliminates the strategy known as "test-to-stay" – a schedule of testing for people that were exposed to the coronavirus but not up to date with their vaccinations – that allowed them to continue in-person learning, so long as they continued to test negative and showed no symptoms. The test-to-stay protocol has been an alternative to quarantine for school, so now "the practice of handling exposures would involve masking rather than a quarantine," Massetti said. You have no idea how frustrating that last article was to read ladies and gentleman. Now before we go… it’s time for my favorite topic… sports! I had an email sent into me by a Daily News Brief listener named Jeremiah Leidenfrost, titled Joe DiMaggio. The email reads: Hey Garrison, I found this newspaper in a house remodel from 1937 talking about Joe DiMaggio. The newspapers were stapled to the inside of the siding as insulation. I thought I would show you this since you like sports. Enjoy, Jeremiah Leidenfrost Now on the news paper, it reads: Joe DiMaggio, the sensational sophmore outfielder of the world champion New York Yankees, today came to terms for the 1937 season. Col. Jacob Ruppert, owner of the club announced that DiMaggio, had accepted the club’s offer, understood to call for a salary of $15,000, and an increase of pay of $6,500 over last tear’s pay to the youthful slugger. For those who don’t know about Joe DiMaggio, nicknamed "Joltin' Joe", "The Yankee Clipper" and "Joe D.", was an American baseball center fielder who played his entire 13-year career in Major League Baseball for the New York Yankees. Born to Italian Sicilian immigrants in California, he is widely considered one of the greatest baseball players of all time, and had a 56-game hitting streak (May 15 – July 16, 1941), a record that still stands. Off the field, Gabe told me he was also known for his marriage to Marilyn Monroe! It didn’t go well… The union was troubled from the start by DiMaggio's jealousy and controlling attitude; he was also physically abusive. A violent fight between the couple occurred immediately after the skirt-blowing scene in The Seven Year Itch that was filmed on September 14, 1954, in front of Manhattan's Trans-Lux 52nd Street Theater. Then 20th Century Fox's East Coast correspondent Bill Kobrin told the Palm Springs Desert Sun that it was director Billy Wilder's idea to turn the shoot into a media circus. The couple then had a "yelling battle" in the theater lobby.[49] After returning from New York City to Hollywood in October 1954, Monroe filed for divorce from DiMaggio after only nine months of marriage. Anyways the more ya know! Find yourselves a good man or woman to stand by you, and stand on God’s promises, otherwise, you’ll end up like them!

Fortunately, James has lots of stories to tell and insightful things to say about beer, community, and more. We also chat about his journey to City-State, from growing up in Manhattan, finishing college in Scotland, to a stint in the Peace Corps and spending nearly a decade working on energy and climate change issues in Washington. Plus, his experience homebrewing, a brief time at ChurchKey Beer Bar, then a beer distributor, before launching City-State. Do you love Beer Busters? Of course you do!

*) Trump invokes Fifth Amendment to evade questions over alleged fraud Former US president Donald Trump has invoked his Fifth Amendment protection against self-incrimination as he testified under oath in a NY civil investigation into his business dealings. The Fifth Amendment protects people from being compelled to become witnesses against themselves in a criminal case. Attorney General Letitia James said her office uncovered evidence that Trump's company misled lenders and tax authorities about the value of prized assets like golf courses and skyscrapers. Trump Organization even exaggerated the size of Trump's Manhattan penthouse, saying it was nearly three times its actual size — a difference in the value of about $200 million, James' office says. *) Sierra Leone imposes nationwide curfew after violent protests At least two police officers and a civilian have been killed after a protest descended into clashes between security forces and demonstrators who were demanding the president's resignation. "Two police officers, a male and female, were mobbed to death by protesters at the east end of Freetown," police spokesperson Brima Kamara said on Wednesday. In addition, Reuters reported that a civilian was also killed in the violence. A hospital worker in Freetown said that dozens more had been wounded. *) Ukraine shelling causes ammonia leak in Donetsk – separatists Pro-Russian separatists have accused Ukraine of shelling in the occupied eastern city of Donetsk, killing one person and triggering a leak of ammonia, Interfax news agency reported. The emergency ministry in the Russian-backed so-called Donetsk People's Republic said a shell had hit an ammonia line late at night. It sparked a fire that at one point covered 603 square metres. Pictures from the scene showed flames lighting the sky above one part of the city as well as firefighters donning masks. One picture appeared to show a corpse on the ground. *) Iraq's Sadr gives one-week deadline to judiciary to dissolve parliament Iraqi Shia cleric Muqtada al Sadr has called on the country's judiciary to dissolve parliament by the end of next week. The judiciary "must dissolve parliament by the end of next week... if not, the revolutionaries will take another stance," Sadr said in a statement on his Twitter account. The Iraqi Shia leader has helped inflame tensions in Iraq over the last two weeks by commanding thousands of followers to storm and occupy parliament. And finally… *) African football body launches new Super League to boost local clubs The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has launched a new lucrative $100 million Super League aimed at injecting financial muscle to the cash-strapped clubs on the continent. Twenty-four clubs, yet to be decided, will take part in the first edition, which has the backing of world governing body FIFA. It will take place between August 2023 and May 2024. CAF president Patrice Motsepe, who announced the new competition, did not say if it would replace CAF's existing Champions League and the second-tier Confederation Cup.

The MTA has released its environmental assessment of the proposal to toll cars entering Manhattan south of 60th St. ("congestion pricing"), adding details to the long-discussed plan. Stephen Nessen, transportation reporter for the WNYC Newsroom, reviews the report and the proposed toll amounts which range from $9 off-peak to $23 during rush hours.

There are ~1,800 public schools in NYC serving 1 million students. But even though school will start in a month, most schools don't know what their annual budget will be and whether they will have to lay off staff. The matter appeared to be settled on June 13 when Mayor Eric Adams pushed the City's annual budget through City Council with hundreds of millions of dollars in cuts to school funding. But on Friday New York Supreme Court Justice Lyle Frank ruled that the process upon which the Department of Education's budget was established violated state law and allowed City Hall a new vote. Earlier today, the Mayor appealed the decision to a higher court. We speak with Paul Trust, a father and teacher at P.S. 39 and one of the four plaintiffs in the lawsuit.

—There are ~1,800 public schools in NYC serving 1 million students. But even though school will start in a month, most schools don't know what their annual budget will be and whether they will have to lay off staff. The matter appeared to be settled on June 13 when Mayor Eric Adams pushed the City's annual budget through City Council with hundreds of millions of dollars in cuts to school funding. But on Friday New York Supreme Court Justice Lyle Frank ruled that the process upon which the Department of Education's budget was established violated state law and allowed City Hall a new vote. Earlier today, the Mayor appealed the decision to a higher court. We speak with Paul Trust, a father and teacher at P.S. 39 and one of the four plaintiffs in the lawsuit. We were also joined by Kaliris Salas Ramirez, another NYC public school parent and the Manhattan representative on the Panel for Education Policy, the New York City school board. —Then, in our second segment, we hear a bit from john about the upcoming state and national legislative elections from co-host John Tarleton. Tarleton is the Editor-in-Chief of The Indy and a keen observer of electoral politics. —Texas Governor Greg Abbott has been sending the asylum seekers to “sanctuary cities” Washington, DC, and NYC for months — without sufficient food, water and medical assistance, say those that are supporting the migrants as they arrive. Since Friday, two buses carrying asylum seekers have arrived from Texas, with a total of 68 passengers. 4,000 immigrants have come from Texas in the last few months. We are joined in our third segment by Adriana Phillips, founder of South Bronx Mutual Aid and a member of the NYC ICE watch network. She has been on-the-ground, greeting buses as they arrive from Texas.

Tanya Hansen has the top local stories from the WCBS newsroom, including emerging problems for residents in Manhattan and the Bronx, a new legislative package aimed at helping better address the Monkeypox outbreak in NYC, and a battle of the badges comes to Citi Field.

In this episode, Noah and Vivian answer questions they received on the JPEG2000 hotline voicemail. If you have questions or comments, you can always leave a message too at 845-377-3484. To kick off the episode, Noah and Vivian collect from a project called Dropicall, created by artist GOODNEWSFORBADGUYS through Mezannotte, a curated platform for NFT projects. The Dropicalls look like little phones, which is on theme for a show centered around phone call voicemails. The piece JPEG2000 collected looks like this. After collecting, Matt from Mezannotte left a voicemail on the hotline, quickly to talk about Dropicall and Mezannotte's upcoming project White Hearts. The first call Noah and Vivian respond to comes from Jonathan Mann, the song a day man and Digitally Rare podcast host, who calls to share his thoughts about how language that begins in cryptocurrency influences the language of NFT art. This leads to a random conversation about visiting the US Mint and $2 bills. Kristen Cabrera , Web Developer extraordinaire at Foundation calls in to ask about why it is common to deploy contracts from burner wallets. Noah and Vivian do not know they answer, and have Malone, developer at Context.app, explain the answer. This leads to a conversation about chickens for some reason. The conversation is interrupted by a call from JPEG2000 podcast editor, Paul O'Mara, with a question about how to mint nfts. Vivian goes to Paul's house to help him. They discuss many things, including what is a smart contract. Sam Mason de Caires, previously at Foundation but now at Rainbow, to explain smart contracts. Paul creates his own smart contract, and mints a photograph titled Nitehawks, which Noah and Vivian problematically collect. When Vivian returns back to recording the episode, Noah has aged from the amount of time Vivian was gone. Photographer Aleck Venegas calls in from the streets of Manhattan to ask a question about NFT editions and re-editioning. Noah and Vivian talk again about Sam King's project ICE64. Writer Emily Sundberg calls in to ask about JPEG2000's vision for shopping in the metaverse, and what are ways brands can participate without being corny. Noah and Vivian do not really answer the question, but talk about Charmin toilet paper nfts. They also discuss David Rudnick's project Tombs, which Noah and Vivian both minted. A final question came in from photographer David Fitt on the Desire Path discord server, about if it's possible to mint NFTs from your phone. Vivian was able to deploy a smart contract on Foundation from her phone. She later minted nfts from her phone onto the smart contract, called PHONE.  Noah forgot Vivian's birthday :(  

It's almost impossible to make a good podcast without listening to great podcasts. But it probably takes more than listening to get from good to great. The secret is learning those not-hidden secrets. I recently discovered the secrets to restaurant-quality eggplant parmesan and crave-able Manhattans. Only they weren't secrets. They were just things I'd overlooked or rushed through. Tiny things learned when I (finally) asked people who were better than me. One thing was clear with decades of hindsight: eating and drinking great examples of both wasn't the answer. No, I needed to learn secrets (that aren't secrets) from people better than me. The same is likely true if there are parts of your podcast you want to improve. You just don't know how to make them better. And listening to more great podcasts doesn't seem to be helping. So ask. Ask a podcaster you admire. Don't ask how you can become as good as they are. Share your specific, personal pain points. Don't say, "listen to this and see what you think." Tell them where YOU think you need to improve. And if you're going to Podcast Movement 2022, you'll have an excellent opportunity to ask for help from some of the best.

Mentioned in this episode: Support For Abortion Rights While Americans overwhelmingly support the right of an individual to make their own decisions about abortion, unfortunately, that right is no longer protected everywhere in the U.S. The Supreme Court overturned Roe v Wade on June 24th. Abortion is a basic healthcare need for the millions of people who can become pregnant. Everyone should have the freedom to decide what's best for themselves and their families, including when it comes to ending a pregnancy. This decision has dire consequences for individual health and safety, and could have harsh repercussions for other landmark decisions. Restricting access to comprehensive reproductive care, including abortion, threatens the health and independence of all Americans. Even if you live in a state where abortion rights are upheld, access to safe medical procedures shouldn't be determined by location, and it shouldn't be the privilege of a small few. You can help by donating to local abortion funds. To find out where to donate for each state, visit donations4abortion.com. If you or someone you know needs help, or if you want to get more involved, here are 5 resources: 1. ShoutYourAbortion.com is a campaign to normalize abortion. 2. DontBanEquality.com is a campaign for companies to take a stand against abortion restrictions. 3. Abortion.cafe has information about where to find clinics. 4.

In today's episode, I am really excited to be speaking with Costa Michailidis of Innovation Bound.  Costa shares that his journey to becoming an entrepreneur seems to have been in his blood, since he comes from a long line of entrepreneurs who got their start as builders in Greece before moving to New York, and then becoming well-recognized for their high-end renovations in some of Manhattan's finest apartments.   Costa helps people use creativity to solve problems, and reminds us that we need to learn how to cope with the rapidly changing environment thorough resilience and innovation. He defines innovation something uniquely new and valuable, or a process that results in something new and valuable. He says that entrepreneurs play a valuable role in bringing new technology to the masses, through innovative methods.  Costa teaches us that we need to test early and often, rather than, say, investing 4 years and $400K only to learn that the market is lukewarm to our brilliant idea or invention. We discussed how iterative development in our business and services not only creates more refined offerings in our business, but also builds resilience within the business in the form of adaptability, AND personal resilience and adaptability.  Costa focuses on 5 Innovation Habits: Test early and often Be ready to improvise and adapt Come up with lots of ideas to go beyond your regular thinking and problem solving Give and receive feedback as a way to improve your ideas Ask the right questions You won't want to miss when he takes the time to teach us about #3: come up with lots of ideas to go beyond your regular thinking and problem solving. He's sharing a reduced-priced resource in his Innovation 101 course, and for the time being, it's priced at $35, so if you're wanting to dive deeper into your own innovation, I strongly recommend you take advantage of this opportunity. Innovation 101 Course I know you'll enjoy learning from Costa today, and I suspect you'll want to scroll down and follow the links in the show notes so you can go down the rabbit hole of innovation. So, you know what to do: grab a beverage or a snack and settle-in to listen to Costa and his amazing journey. Find Costa: Website LinkedIn Twitter Instagram  Resources: Reimagining The Search For Life Beyond Earth With Professor Lee Cronin Lee Cronin: Origin of Life, Aliens, Complexity, and Consciousness | Lex Fridman Podcast Costa's Bio: Costa began life as a creative misfit, using his imagination to spur havoc, laughter, and the occasional unintended success. Come to think of it, he hasn't changed much over the years. Some of his recent adventures include working with NASA scientists to reimagine the search for life beyond Earth, designing innovation tournaments inside of Fortune 500 companies to seed innovation projects, speaking at the United Nations in New York as part of the first TEDx event there, working with a group of cyber security experts (including one of the original creators of the internet—not Al Gore) to make recommendations to the Obama Administration, and that's just the compulsory who's who. Some of the most impactful and beautiful work he's done has been with college students, young entrepreneurs, and nonprofit organizations. Costa's passion, and by some cosmic coincidence his job, is to help people be more creative, so they can solve new and meaningful problems in the world. He takes great joy and pride in skillfully priming the human brain, and the human heart, for creative breakthrough. He cofounded Innovation Bound, and has joined a team of academics, entrepreneurs, consultants, and other creativity & innovation experts just like him to help accelerate innovation efforts in science, business, and beyond. Costa grew up in the world of competitive gymnastics. To this day, he still chalks up to swing high bar on Wednesday nights. If you spend enough time with him, you're sure to catch a glimpse of him flying through the air or standing on his hands.

As the leader of Jacksonville commercial real estate firm Prime Realty, Tyler Saldutti has seen his company grow exponentially as the market has rebounded. In the past 18 months, Prime Realty has more than doubled its staff to meet client demand. Tyler is a fourth-generation real estate entrepreneur and, before starting Prime Realty, was a top producer working for a global commercial real estate firm. He has consulted real estate owners and users from a wide range of industries and built a reputation for finding the best real estate solutions through creative deal structures and a project approach to each assignment.    Let's hear from Tyler as he shares tips on how his company works and how to leverage the brokerage Community to scale your real estate business.    [00:00 - 07:00] Prime Realty: We Do Low Volume, High Quality   Tyler Saldutti is the founder of prime Realty, a commercial real estate firm in Jacksonville, Florida. Prime Realty is the leading or premier boutique brokerage doing over 250 transactions. Tyler started in New Jersey working construction and then moved to South Florida, where he worked as a consultant and learned to develop his two passions  helping people build wealth through real estate investment and supporting entrepreneurs. In 2008, when the economy was tough, Prime Realty reinvented itself as a boutique operation that services family offices and small businesses.   [07:01 - 13:51] Boutique Real Estate Firm Uses Exclusive Relationships and Nimble Marketing to Close More Projects   Tyler adds that a high-quantity low-quality business model can't be nimble and custom when it's big. How a boutique approach is different, and how it results in better quality work for the agent and higher closing rates. Tyler recommends that agents work hard to build relationships with brokers and not get sucked into a crony system. Agents should also stay in touch with their brokers to ensure they are always on top of new opportunities.   [13:52 - 20:46] Real Estate Broker Sourced and Assisted with Every Acquisition   There is a real estate broker that has been helpful in all of the acquisitions that the speaker has made, and he recommends staying in touch with the brokerage community to stay up-to-date on opportunities. The role of a broker is different than that of other professionals involved in a real estate transaction, and their goal is to maximize their sale price and return on investment. It is important to verify information about a property before making an offer, as there can be significant differences in how different buyers view it. A good business plan for a real estate project should include     [20:47 - 24:50] Closing Segment Reach out to Tyler  Links Below Final Words         Tweetable Quotes “Finding those exclusive relationships, meaning you may invest in property all over the country, but you may have somebody in Chicago that knows the industrial market there and You're dealing with them whenever you're in Chicago and dealing with the industrial market, that's going to be the only person you're going to work with.” - Tyler Saldutti ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Connect with Tyler visit their website at https://primerealtyinc.com/ Or call 9043730578     Connect with me:   I love helping others place money outside of traditional investments that both diversify a strategy and provide solid predictable returns.      Facebook   LinkedIn   Like, subscribe, and leave us a review on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, or whatever platform you listen on.

Check it out below: [00:00:38] Sam Wilson: Tyler Saldutti is the founder of Prime Realty in Jacksonville, Florida, where he is overseeing the funding acquisition development management and leasing of over 2000 retail office, industrial multifamily properties throughout Florida and Georgia. [00:00:52] Tyler Saldutti: Tyler. Welcome to the show. Thanks for  [00:00:54] Sam Wilson: having me. Hey man, the pleasure's mine and 90 seconds or less. Can you tell me, where did you start? Where are you now? And how did you get there?  [00:01:00] Tyler Saldutti: I started in New Jersey working construction, growing up, my father and uncles. And that was how I saw real estate. It was the physical production of space and there's something that's just very rewarding about seeing the. [00:01:16] Tyler Saldutti: The result of your labor growing up outside Manhattan. So many industries are dollars and cents. And something about seeing your end product got my blood in 2008, I started Prime Realty. We're a commercial real estate firm here in Jacksonville, Florida. And now we're the leading or premier boutique brokerage doing over 250 transactions. [00:01:37] Tyler Saldutti: Like you were.  [00:01:37] Sam Wilson: That is really cool. I love that. So when you were in the construction business, were you guys general contractors? Were you guys the owners developing the project? What  [00:01:48] Tyler Saldutti: was your role in that? Well, you may have picked up from the last name, style duty. I'm a Italian American from Jersey. [00:01:54] Tyler Saldutti: So you. Know, I had family members in all sorts of trades. Electricians, like I said, my father is a general contractor. I member working for an uncle that was a site works contractor. So, it was, exercise of getting to see a little bit of everything. Like I said, mostly from the. [00:02:12] Tyler Saldutti: Property improvement or construction side spending weekends winter breaks off of sports. Mostly it was in the summers working in the different trades. So, this way, as my career progressed, I have this vision and understanding of what's behind all the numbers and spreadsheets and what it takes to construct and develop and manage. [00:02:35] Tyler Saldutti: Manage office, industrial retail and multifamily property. So you see all the different colored logos. We have that. That's what that's all about. Those are our four main food groups and how we divide and conquer and commercial real estate.  [00:02:50] Sam Wilson: How did you make the jump from working in the trades? [00:02:53] Sam Wilson: Working as a GC to, I know I should go start a brokerage. That kind of seems a little disconnected  [00:02:59] Tyler Saldutti: there. Sure. After growing up in New Jersey, I traded commodities in south Florida, a very business development, intense environment. You might picture a large bullpen of financial advisors making. [00:03:18] Tyler Saldutti: Business calls and developing new relationships in the dozens of conversations today, sometimes hundreds from there, I worked for a small business consulting firm in London and really developed, my two passions are helping people build wealth through real estate investment and supporting entrepreneurs. [00:03:40] Tyler Saldutti: And. Working for mostly medium size companies in London and consulting, a lot of it was geared towards their marketing systems and operations. You developed an appreciation for that small and medium sized business owner that as you help them get results kind of back to you can, there's a transparency and, a visual when you help a business that. [00:04:06] Tyler Saldutti: Versus maybe a, the, when we consult bigger firms and bigger organizations maybe it's not as clear there. So all of that to say that the boutique operation, that services a lot of family offices or family groups, small businesses is where I've found my life and my passion and it's been a good fit ever since. [00:04:31] Sam Wilson: So let's talk about your brokerage then. So you launch a brokerage in Florida, you say, Hey, we're gonna do commercial brokerage in 2008. The timing seems a little rough. Tell me tell me how you guys made your way through that period. And kind of what, I guess, what lessons  [00:04:48] Tyler Saldutti: you learned along the way? [00:04:49] Tyler Saldutti: Well, 2008 was the great recession and it was very there was a lot of Turmo. And the economy at that time, I was working for the largest commercial real estate brokerage in the world doing investment sales, which meant I got to touch multiple different property types. And, you, I saw, I had to reinvent myself into more leasing and management in addition to the investment sales. [00:05:17] Tyler Saldutti: And it's what people needed at the time they needed. Their building's full so that they could cover their debt service. They needed property management that was finding ways to be more efficient and save money. And again, coming back into that from having a very deep understanding of the investment side, the ownership side, balancing that with the leasing and the management There was we did, I didn't complete a sale transaction for over a year after starting Prime. [00:05:52] Tyler Saldutti: So, we saw that there was a need for a boutique approach. We saw that. The quantity over quality of work model was not gonna work. In other words, 2007, you could put a sign in front of a property. Somebody's gonna call you. You're gonna get a transaction done. Let me tell you, in 2008 times were tough and you built a lot of good habits. [00:06:14] Tyler Saldutti: And this firm was built on those habits. So when things are let's say more normal we're really, hitting on all cylinders because we've been built with a very proactive and project oriented approach that truly is effective in the most difficult of times. Which. Which it, which was a very difficult process to do. [00:06:37] Tyler Saldutti: Right. But boy hasn't served us well ever since. So  [00:06:41] Sam Wilson: I'm really curious when you say the need for a boutique approach and the other phrase you said there was, you built a lot of good habits. What are the things that come to mind when you say that? Because obviously not being a broker on this side, I don't, can you paint a picture there for us that you said, Hey, here's the problem I saw? [00:06:58] Sam Wilson: And this is kind of how we decided we're gonna do  [00:07:00] Tyler Saldutti: it differently. Sure. So we turned the quantity over quality equation on its head, if you're at a big firm, you're gonna have different overhead, you're gonna have a corporate office that you're feeding constantly. And your business model is built to make that corporation money. [00:07:20] Tyler Saldutti: And it's very successful and you might need to have three dozen listings in order to, effectively close half of those transactions. And it works for the broker, right? And the broker makes money and the agent makes money. But it's high volume. Low quality, you're fitting everything into a system that has to be somewhat effective for a variety of different projects. [00:07:49] Tyler Saldutti: Right? You can't be nimble when you're big. You can't be custom when you're big. And the boutique approach is the opposite. So, we've got our systems, we test and measure. We've got all the same technology, all the same marketing platforms. All the gizmos that the big firms have, technology's been a great equalizer amongst all firms, but we do low volume, high quality. [00:08:13] Tyler Saldutti: So project approached with the unique business plan for each project. The critical non-essentials whether we're working with a buyer or a seller, a tenant or a landlord, we. Get to have a curiosity and get to know their business more so than you can if you're in a high volume business. So, it's the customization you can do. [00:08:37] Tyler Saldutti: It's the expertise you can develop and then it's just being proactive. So if we're on the marketing side, we, if we're working on maybe 20 deals instead, 40, it's not rocket science. It's picking up the phone. If you're trying to find a space where a dental practice, you're calling all the dentists in town, and you can do that on a boutique approach and be more pro project oriented. [00:09:00] Tyler Saldutti: We close, darn near a hundred percent of the projects we take on. And at a bigger high quantity firm you're doing between 30 and 50% closing. And that's a lifestyle. 50 to 70% of your clients being frustrated with, Hey, how come I don't hear from, Hey, what's going on? I don't see what you're doing. [00:09:20] Tyler Saldutti: And when you have lower quantities, you're able to do that kinda work. Got it. It's more enjoyable.  [00:09:26] Sam Wilson: No, that, that makes a lot of sense. Thank you for taking the time to, to clarify that, cuz that again, not being in your business, I go that, just needed some more deeper understanding of that. [00:09:37] Sam Wilson: So that's really cool. Thank you for sharing that with us. Tell me about this. The broker and call, let's say the broker and buyer and broker and seller relationships are they're unique and have their own, nuances to 'em. What are some things or some tips that you would give that you would say, Hey, here's the way that you should be effectively leveraging your broker relationships? [00:09:57] Tyler Saldutti: Well, there's three things that I think. Investor or just real estate entrepreneur should keep in mind when trying to leverage the brokerage community to help them build their business. And the first is to really work hard, to build those relationships in an exclusive manner. And it's always important to date before you get married. [00:10:25] Tyler Saldutti: As you're trying to engage a brokerage community, you can work with somebody quite a bit before. You're really like I said committing to them in any sense, but a commitment. It should be the end goal on both sides. The brokerage community is an E what you kill industry. They were not able to pay our bills, support our families. [00:10:50] Tyler Saldutti: Unless we get results. And so we have to be very disciplined at what we commit our time to. And we, as you can imagine in a market like today in 2022, there's a lot of buyers, right? So how do you as the buyer distinguish yourself and try to build that exclusive relationship, it goes both ways. We're the, broker's looking for an exclusive relat. [00:11:18] Tyler Saldutti: And the buyer wants to be the first one to get the call when a new, exciting opportunity becomes available. So, I don't think anybody ever expects a exclusive relationship. That's not logical, meaning, you're not gonna have one phone conversation with someone and say, gosh, you're the only broker I'm ever going to use on every deal I ever do. [00:11:39] Tyler Saldutti: But finding those exclusive relationships, meaning you may have somebody. And you may invest in property all over the country, but you may have somebody in Chicago that knows the industrial market there that you through. You're dealing with them whenever you're in Chicago and industrial market, that's gonna be the only person you're going to work with and so on and so forth. [00:12:05] Tyler Saldutti: So, that's the first. Main goal I'd say for any investor owner, entrepreneur is to try to build these exclusive relationships and they can be one, it can be one person, one that does and quarterbacks all your deals, but it can also be a, a group that you formed together. [00:12:23] Tyler Saldutti: The second thing is. I'd say don't get sucked into a crony system. So again, having been in corporate commercial real estate world, there is a crony system in a national platform that, a customer that works with X, Y, Z company. And that company has offices all over the country. You don't want to be dealing with somebody that just has the same logo on their business card because Hey everybody, you know what a nice logo, right? [00:12:56] Tyler Saldutti: If you're going into multiple markets and the way that we approach it, and most independent firms approach it you're able to be nimble and partner with the right brokers or agents in that market. In other words, no firm has the. Agent or broker in every single submarket in every single property type in every single market. [00:13:17] Tyler Saldutti: So you may find when you're in Boise that the CBR E broker on the west side of town for multifamily is the best and that's their niche. And you might find. It's the cushioning Wakefield broker. And you might find it's another independent firm. So I would say don't get sucked into a crony system that doesn't serve you and your goals don't align with you and your broker that way. [00:13:43] Tyler Saldutti: And the third I would just say is follow up and stay in touch. Like any good relationship. I can't tell you. I've been blessed to build a small real estate portfolio. There has been a real estate broker that has sourced and assisted with every acquisition I've made. And I can't tell you how many opportunities come from staying in touch with the brokerage community and the experts and the specialists. [00:14:06] Tyler Saldutti: And and they're given property types and marketplaces. And submarkets whether that's a phone call a few times a year with a lunch, And, I make a point to, to go to that lunch once a year, make a point to play around at golf or whatever it is. That you enjoy with that person and hopefully the broker's doing the same, but but if you are disciplined and scheduled about it, you'd be amazed by how much those once a quarter, once a month, touching base calls will lead to, to really profitable acquisitions. [00:14:38] Sam Wilson: I love that. Thank you for taking the time to break down those three really valuable points there. I wanna circle back to the first one. However, when you said to build relationships that are exclusive, my question is this, how do you know when a broker is someone who is worth building that exclusive relationship with  [00:14:57] Tyler Saldutti: they've made you, they've made you a lot of money, a broker. [00:15:01] Tyler Saldutti: Should be your most valuable tool in your toolbox? I've often been said throughout the years that the brokerage community is the grease that keeps the gears of the economy going, a broker's role, the way they're compensated and the value they add is different than everybody else in that transaction, whether it's the seller. [00:15:27] Tyler Saldutti: And their goal to maximize their sale price, the buyer, their goal, to limit the maybe limit the purchase price and achieve the highest returns or limit municipality. That's gotta help you with the zoning or the contractor. That's gotta do the property improvement. So the attorney that's gotta assess the risk. [00:15:46] Tyler Saldutti: Everybody has their role but even that entrepreneur that's importance is finding the value maximizing return and being creative. They are not playing the role and motivated to keep the transactions moving forward. Right. And bringing people together and finding ways the broker has got to achieve everybody's goal right. [00:16:13] Tyler Saldutti: In order for there to be a successful transaction. And so, how do you know when you've found that? Well, you've made a lot of money. That's truly it. I mean, the foundation of any broker relationship is, made, saved. Or achieved a great return on investment and at Prime Realty, we work with both sides. [00:16:34] Tyler Saldutti: So, making a lot of money on the buy side is obviously different than making a lot of money on the sell side. But you're looking for someone that's got that deep, specific niche specialization. You're looking for someone that's collaborative, right? That's not trying to force you into their, oh, don't worry. [00:16:54] Tyler Saldutti: I know all the buyers in the market, we're just gonna, market this off market. Don't worry about it. And so you're looking for somebody that. Goals or aligning with yours or being collaborative. They've got that specialty and they've proven to you that they're they're able to make you a lot of money. [00:17:10] Sam Wilson: I love that answer. That's great. I've got one final question here for you and this'll come off as harsh or as snarky. So I apologize in advance, but I guess we don't ever look at the broker brokers. PROFOR. Like they're all packaged up. They're put across and they're part of the shiny brochure. And the first thing we do is totally ignore 'em. [00:17:30] Sam Wilson: Why is that? Why is that the case? Well,  [00:17:34] Tyler Saldutti: Gosh, I know those brokers that you're talking about, and I know those packets you're talking about and I'm fighting a good fight here at Prime. For that, not to be the case. But I also believe everyone's doing the right thing in starting from scratch. [00:17:55] Tyler Saldutti: Right? So you take your, you take your secondary sources of information, but you verify and I would say. If I look at a property with three different buyers, there's going to be three different ways that they look at that. So it makes sense that everybody starts from a blank spreadsheet, ideally, truly a blank spreadsheet and takes everything I've been saying about a project approach and customization, and does that for each property. [00:18:30] Tyler Saldutti: So I, I think the idea that. Any marketing offering memorandum or any one spreadsheet is gonna be adequate in deciphering what an individual or an organization's unique business plan is for that property. That doesn't make sense. And, I don't think you understand our industry. if that. The way you approach it. [00:18:59] Tyler Saldutti: Well, well, here's my spreadsheet. It's a template and I, and I put this and this is how we, doing that is just as wrong as like you're saying, trying to take the offering memorandum and say, well, this is how this is this, if that's how that property was gonna perform. [00:19:13] Tyler Saldutti: The only thing anyone can tell you about their offering memorandum is the property will perform. Not to what I have in my offering. thatAnd right. This is a an estimated summary of what you might expect with the business plan that we've come up with. Right. and so I think it's more important to be able, like we touched on before, understand what's behind those numbers as you help your buyers. [00:19:41] Tyler Saldutti: evaluate an opportunity that nobody's spreadsheet can tell you what their unique resources are to add value. And then what their ability to access capital. So, nobody nobody's putting out offering memorandums. They might have some consumable debt assumptions, but. One of the, two criteria that nobody can do is what are your unique resources to add value, and what's your ability to acquire funding for it. [00:20:12] Tyler Saldutti: So what, you're, what you're able to source interest rate amortization fix time period, versus what I'm able to source. Is different and it's always gonna be difference between investor a, B, C, and D. So, I think everybody's doing the right thing by taking the summary analysis from the offering memorandums and then getting rolling their sleeves up and, and doing the work on their end to build the B the successful business plan that, that a good investment should include. [00:20:41] Sam Wilson: Tyler. Thank you so much for coming on the show today. I certainly appreciate it learned an absolute ton from you.

Of course the host is our tax attorney, Steve Moskowitz. Steve, I hope you're well. Steve Moskowitz: Doing fine Chip. Chip Franklin: It's a holiday weekend and we have a lot to talk about on the show today. Coming up a little bit later, we're going to talk about many people that are watching this, either are seniors, or they have parents that are either in nursing homes and or living with them. And a lot of that's changing. And we want to talk a little bit about later on the show about some of the tax advantages that you can take advantage of. Obviously some of the tax, just possibilities here that you can avoid. Also, if you're an entrepreneur or if you have side hustles, is a time to go long form. We'll talk about some of the tips for being self-employed in our Ask Steve segment. But first let's talk about, well, the painful part of divorce. Joining us right now is Simon Brody. He is from www.angliaadvisors.com. He's from London originally. He worked at the UN in Manhattan for quite a while as a Financial Advisor and a ETF specialist before going on to found Anglia Advisors. It's a fee for service advisor firm. We'll get to that in a few minutes as well, but they offer personal advice and consulting services to young people, couples and family, for nationals, and also suddenly single. Those are people that are coming out of divorce and in some cases, widower or widowhood, without the inevitable conflicts of interest that many times the commission compensated sales people deal with. And he's joining us right here on Practical Tax on again, our streaming network. Simon Brody, say hello to Steve Moskowitz. Simon Brady: Hi Steve, how are you? Steve Moskowitz: Hi Simon, how you doing? It's very impressive, the UN. Simon Brady: It's certainly an interesting place. I wouldn't say it moves along at the speed of sound. You're probably not astonished to hear that there's an intensely high level of bureaucracy there, but it was definitely interesting. Yeah, really. Chip Franklin: That'll give us all a little room to breathe here. Okay. Simon Brady: There we go. Chip Franklin: So let's just jump into this and talk about the suddenly single thing, because I know this is something that you both share. Steve deals with this all the time and as well as you. Can we start with you Simon? How do people and especially women begin and sustain a financial plan at that point in their lives? Simon Brady: Yeah, it is an extremely triggering event on all levels. A divorce or a widowhood, but sticking with divorce for the time being. Most relationships tend to have an imbalance when it comes to being the financial decision maker within the household, you very, very often have one person who is taking control of a very, very high amount of it. And therefore by definition, the other person is shut out. And that may be an arrangement they came to perfectly amicably. But what happens when the relationship ends for one reason or another is you very often have one person who ...

With the FBI and the DOJ in the mood to raid people's houses, I figured it would be the perfect time to toss a suggestion in their direction. Considering it's been decades, and nothing has been done though, I am not confident anyone over at the dumpster fire of a DOJ even cares at this point.

Where was Michelle Nijhuis all my life?She lived off the electric grid for fifteen years and I was about two months in, so we shared stories of the experiences. She did it much longer and her fiance had to assemble everything from scratch. I'm only two months in and can use off-the-shelf parts, but I'm in Manhattan, so can't set up a permanent system. Some similarities: connecting with nature, learning to respect power, living with less resulting in living more. Michelle shares her challenges of connecting with the human world when disconnected to a power grid, but I don't think you'll hear regret.I have to correct myself: I said kilowatt-hour when I meant watt-hour. My battery isn't 1,000 times bigger than I said.It's hard to put into words the benefits of living without electrical power at the touch of a button. I recommend turning off your power every now and then.

Regular listeners know I started an experiment disconnecting from the electric grid. I began May 22. Then on July 22, I posted an episode that the solar panel or battery broke, or both. I didn't see how I could continue so said that after I finished recording, I'd declare victory, reconnect to the grid, cook lunch, and move on.Regular listeners and readers of my blog know that I posted about keeping going. What gives? Did I stop or not?I'd meant to record an episode explaining that I kept going without even solar power, though still using my "cheat" of allowing plugging my computer and phone at NYU. Recording my second episode with Michelle Nijhuis, I got to share that story, so I'm posting it here. She lived off the grid for fifteen years, so had plenty of relevant experience.Past posts on the off-the-grid-in-Manhattan experiment:586: My Kitty Hawk moment, on the way to a Moon Shot584: Freedom, continual improvement, fun, and curiosity: day three only solar in Manhattan593: How I disconnected from the electric grid in Manhattan for 2 weeks (and counting)609: Finishing My Off-the-Grid-in-Manhattan Experiment in Month 3 See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Kindle Edition. by Patrick K. O'Donnell https://www.amazon.com/Indispensables-Diverse-Soldier-Mariners-Washington-Delaware-ebook/dp/B08M12FQ85 On the stormy night of August 29, 1776, the Continental Army faced annihilation after losing the Battle of Brooklyn. The British had trapped George Washington's army against the East River, and the fate of the Revolution rested upon the soldier-mariners from Marblehead, Massachusetts. One of the country's first diverse units, they pulled off an “American Dunkirk” and saved the army by navigating the treacherous river to Manhattan. At the right time in the right place, the Marbleheaders, a group of white, black, Hispanic, and Native American soldiers, repeatedly altered the course of events, and their story shines new light on our understanding of the American Revolution. As historian Patrick K. O'Donnell recounts, beginning nearly a decade before the war started, Marbleheaders such as Elbridge Gerry and Azor Orne spearheaded the break with Britain and helped shape the United States through governing, building alliances, seizing British ships, forging critical supply lines, and establishing the origins of the US Navy. The Marblehead Regiment, led by John Glover, became truly indispensable. Marbleheaders battled at Lexington and on Bunker Hill and formed the elite Guard that protected George Washington, foreshadowing today's Secret Service. Then the special operations–like regiment, against all odds, conveyed 2,400 of Washington's men across the ice-filled Delaware River on Christmas night of 1776, delivering the surprise attack on Trenton that changed the course of history . . . The Marbleheaders' story, never fully told before now, makes The Indispensables a vital addition to the literature of the American Revolution.
