With a background as a hedge fund manager and now one of the most influential voices in artificial intelligence, Imad is here to break down why he believes the global economy as we know it is on the verge of obsolescence. Drawing insights from his book "The Last Economy," Imad explains how AI is fundamentally rewriting the rules of work, value, capital, and meaning. In part one, Tom and Imad set the stage by unraveling Imad's “Last Economy” thesis: Why existing economic measures like GDP are outdated; why the next major economic disruption isn't just about automation, but about a full intelligence inversion powered by AI; and how his innovative "MIND" framework (Material, Intelligence, Network, Diversity) helps diagnose both progress and peril in this changing world. From practical economic mathematics to the looming negative value of human labor, this conversation delivers a sobering look at the shockwaves AI is about to send through society—and the critical need to redefine how we measure flourishing and prosperity.

On today's show we are looking to connect the dots between new home construction, demand for lumber, and home sales. We are answering the question, Is this a possible boom for new rental properties? So here we are going into the fourth quarter with several headwinds and a couple of tailwinds. If you are looking to start a construction project, this might be an excellent time. Construction labor are looking for work in many markets and will price their labor more aggressively. Labor has become the dominant cost in many projects. Material prices are falling in some segments. Lumber is a great example. We have falling interest rates. I say this irrespective of what the Federal Reserve may announce on Wednesday this week. The US 10 year Treasury is hovering around 4% and the Canadian 5 year commercial mortgage bond rate fell below 3%. It's now around 2.92%. All of this happened with no central bank announcements. So if your capital costs are falling and your material prices are falling, and you are going into a seasonal slower time period with lower demand for labor, these are significant tailwinds. The only headwinds that I can see are the tariffs. The other headwinds are falling prices for single family homes. But if you're building rental apartments, and your market has the right supply and demand dynamics for rentals, this might be one of the best times to build, starting in the 4th quarter and into the first quarter of next year. You might be thinking that you're building a commercial building and you don't use much lumber. What's happening to steel prices ?OK, Let's look at that. Steel prices seem to have mirrored the same dynamic as lumber, but to a smaller degree. Prices peaked at the end of July at $3333 per ton. On Sept 11, they were at $3006 per ton. Today they've rebounded a bit to $3070 per ton. We saw the same thing in copper. Prices were $5.80 per pound for copper and they fell in a matter of days to $4.36 per pound. Today the prices are hovering closer to what has been an average for the past year at $4.60 per pound. So this is not just a softwood lumber phenomenon. ---------**Real Estate Espresso Podcast:** Spotify: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](https://open.spotify.com/show/3GvtwRmTq4r3es8cbw8jW0?si=c75ea506a6694ef1)   iTunes: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/the-real-estate-espresso-podcast/id1340482613)   Website: [www.victorjm.com](http://www.victorjm.com)   LinkedIn: [Victor Menasce](http://www.linkedin.com/in/vmenasce)   YouTube: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](http://www.youtube.com/@victorjmenasce6734)   Facebook: [www.facebook.com/realestateespresso](http://www.facebook.com/realestateespresso)   Email: [podcast@victorjm.com](mailto:podcast@victorjm.com)  **Y Street Capital:** Website: [www.ystreetcapital.com](http://www.ystreetcapital.com)   Facebook: [www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital](https://www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital)   Instagram: [@ystreetcapital](http://www.instagram.com/ystreetcapital)

Hizo luego una petición que ningún ser humano hizo antes: "Te ruego que me muestres tu gloria". Éxodo 33:18. ¡Qué petición de parte de un ser mortal finito! Pero, ¿es rechazado'? ¿Lo reprende Dios por su pretensión? No; oímos las misericordiosas palabras: "Yo haré pasar todo mi bien delante de tu rostro". Éxodo 33:19. Ningún hombre podía ver la gloria revelada de Dios y sobrevivir; pero a Moisés se le asegura que él contemplará tanto de la gloria divina como puede soportar su estado mortal actual. Esa Mano que hizo el mundo, que sostiene las montañas en sus lugares toma a este hombre del polvo, este hombre de poderosa fe; y, misericordiosa, lo oculta en la hendidura de la peña, mientras la gloria de Dios y toda su benignidad pasan delante de él. ¿Podemos asombrarnos de que "la magnífica gloria" (2 Pedro 1:17) resplandeciera en el rostro de Moisés con tanto brillo que la gente no lo pudiera mirar? La marca de Dios estaba sobre él, haciéndolo aparecer como uno de los resplandecientes ángeles del trono. Este incidente, y sobre todo la seguridad de que Dios oiría su oración, y de que la presencia divina le acompañaría, eran de más valor para Moisés como caudillo, que el saber de Egipto, o todo lo que alcanzara en la ciencia militar. Ningún poder, habilidad o saber terrenales pueden reemplazar la inmediata presencia de Dios. En la historia de Moisés podemos ver cuán íntima comunión con Dios puede gozar el hombre. Para el transgresor es algo terrible caer en las manos del Dios viviente. Pero Moisés no tenía miedo de estar a solas con el Autor de aquella ley que había sido pronunciada con tan pavorosa sublimidad desde el monte Sinaí; porque su alma estaba en armonía con la voluntad de su Hacedor. Orar es el acto de abrir el corazón a Dios como a un amigo. El ojo de la fe discernirá a Dios muy cerca, y el suplicante puede obtener preciosa evidencia del amor y del cuidado que Dios manifiesta por él (Testimonios para la iglesia, t. 4, pp. 524, 525).Dad a conocer a Dios vuestras dificultades. Decidle como Moisés: "No puedo conducir a este pueblo a menos que tu presencia vaya conmigo". Luego pedid aún más; orad con Moisés: "Ruégote que me muestres tu gloria". Éxodo 33:18. ¿Qué es esta gloria? El carácter de Dios. Así lo proclamó el Señor a Moisés. Que el alma se aferre con fe viva a Dios. Cante la lengua sus alabanzas. Cuando os halléis reunidos dedicad vuestra mente con reverencia a la contemplación de las realidades eternas. Así os ayudaréis unos a otros a ser espirituales. Cuando vuestra voluntad esté en armonía con la divina, estaréis en armonía unos con otros; tendréis a Cristo a vuestro lado como consejero. Enoc anduvo con Dios. Así puede andar todo aquel que trabaja por Cristo. Podéis decir con el Salmista: "A Jehová he puesto siempre delante de mí: porque está a mi diestra no seré conmovido". Salmo 16:8. Mientras sintáis que no tenéis suficiencia propia, vuestra suficiencia estará en Jesús (Obreros evangélicos, pp. 431, 432).

Sus intercesiones ilustran el amor y la mediación de Cristo por la raza pecadora. Pero el Señor se negó a dejar que Moisés sufriera por los pecados de su pueblo apóstata; le dijo que aquellos que habían pecado contra él serían borrados de su libro que había escrito, porque los justos no deben sufrir por la culpa de los pecadores. El libro al cual se hace referencia aquí es el libro de los registros del cielo, en el cual está inscrito cada nombre y están registrados fielmente los actos de todos, sus pecados y su obediencia. Cuando los individuos cometen pecados que son demasiado atroces para que el Señor los perdone, sus nombres son borrados del libro y quedan destinados a la destrucción. Aunque Moisés comprendía el terrible destino de aquellos cuyos nombres debían ser borrados del libro de Dios, declaró claramente ante Dios que si los nombres de su descarriado Israel debían ser borrados, y no ser más recordados por él para bien, él deseaba que su nombre fuera borrado con el de ellos. No podía soportar que la plenitud de su ira cayera sobre el pueblo por el que había obrado tales maravillas (Spiritual Gifts, t. 3, p. 285; parcialmente en Comentarios de Elena G. de White en Comentario bíblico adventista del séptimo día, t. 7, p. 998). Después que el Señor hubo dado a Moisés todas estas garantías misericordiosas, ¿descansó satisfecho y se conformó? No; todavía deseaba algo del Señor; y oró: "Te ruego que me muestres tu gloria. 19 Y le respondió: Yo haré pasar todo mi bien delante de tu rostro, y proclamaré el nombre de Jehová delante de ti; y tendré misericordia del que tendré misericordia, y seré clemente para con el que seré clemente". La gloria de Dios fue revelada a Moisés, y será revelada a aquellos que la busquen tan fervientemente como lo hizo Moisés (The Review and Herald, 28 de julio, 1891, párr. 7). Debemos suplicar a Dios sus bendiciones, tal como Moisés le suplicó en el monte. No tenemos tiempo que esperar. Nuestro Señor viene, y es hora de poner nuestra casa en orden. Hay un gran trabajo que hacer, y si vas a tu prójimo con tu corazón todo lleno de calor y resplandeciente de amor, ¿no crees que puedes encontrar la llave para abrir el corazón de tu prójimo? El problema con nuestra obra ha sido que nos hemos contentado con presentar una teoría fría de la verdad. No hemos dejado que nuestros corazones se enternecen ante aquellos con quienes trabajamos. ¡Oh, que el Señor avivara nuestro entendimiento, y nos diera una comprensión del tiempo en que estamos viviendo! Muchos han caminado entre las chispas de su propia llama, pero nosotros debemos suplicar a Dios como lo hizo Moisés, avanzando paso a paso hasta que podamos decir: "Muéstrame tu gloria". Moisés era ferviente en cuanto al asunto, y el Señor lo puso en una hendidura de la peña, y dejó que su bondad pasara delante de él. ¿Has pensado en eso? Dejó que su bondad pasara delante de él. Hermanos míos, ¿qué no hará el Señor por nosotros si lo buscamos de todo corazón? (The Review and Herald, 28 de mayo, 1889, párr. 10).

Moisés, descorazonado por el descontento y la murmuración del pueblo, que guiaba hacia la tierra de la promesa, suplicó a Dios que le diera la seguridad de su presencia, diciendo: "Mira, tú me dices a mí: Saca este pueblo; y tú no me has declarado a quién enviarás conmigo. Sin embargo, tú dices: Yo te he conocido por tu nombre, y has hallado también gracia en mis ojos. Ahora, pues, si he hallado gracia en tus ojos, te ruego que me muestres ahora tu camino, para que te conozca, y halle gracia en tus ojos; y mira que esta gente es pueblo tuyo. Y él dijo: Mi presencia irá contigo, y te daré descanso". Fortalecido con la seguridad de la presencia de Dios, Moisés fue todavía más allá y se aventuró a solicitar aún más bendiciones. Dijo: "Te ruego que me muestres tu gloria". ¿Creéis que Dios reprobó la presunción de Moisés? ¡Claro que no! Moisés no hizo este pedido por vana curiosidad. Tenía un objetivo en vista. Comprendió que por su propia fuerza no podría realizar aceptablemente la obra de Dios. Sabía que si podía obtener una clara visión de la gloria de Dios, estaría capacitado para avanzar en su importante misión, no por su propia fuerza sino por la del Señor Dios Todopoderoso. Toda su alma se extendió hacia Dios. Anhelaba saber más de Dios, para poder sentir de cerca la divina presencia en cada emergencia o perplejidad. No fue egoísmo lo que impulsó a Moisés a pedir una visión de la gloria de Dios. Su único objetivo era el deseo de honrar mejor a su Hacedor. Dios conoce los pensamientos y las intenciones del corazón y comprendió los motivos que impulsaban la solicitud de su fiel servidor. Contestó a Moisés: "Yo haré pasar todo mi bien delante de tu rostro, y proclamaré el nombre de Jehová delante de ti; y tendré misericordia del que tendré misericordia, y seré clemente para con el que seré clemente. 20 Dijo más: No podrás ver mi rostro; porque no me verá hombre, y vivirá. 21 Y dijo aún Jehová: He aquí un lugar junto a mí, y tú estarás sobre la peña; 22 y cuando pase mi gloria, yo te pondré en una hendidura de la peña, y te cubriré con mi mano hasta que haya pasado". "Y Jehová descendió en la nube, y estuvo allí con él, proclamando el nombre de Jehová. Y pasando Jehová por delante de él, proclamó: ¡Jehová! ¡Jehová! fuerte, misericordioso y piadoso; tardo para la ira, y grande en misericordia y verdad". Moisés tenía genuina humildad y el Señor lo honró mostrándole su gloria. De la misma manera honrará a todo el que lo sirva como Moisés, con un corazón perfecto ... Imparte su sabiduría a los que tienen un espíritu humilde y contrito. La justicia de Cristo irá delante de ellos y la gloria del Señor será su retaguardia. Nada en este mundo puede hacer daño a aquellos que son así honrados por una estrecha conexión con Dios (The Review and Herald, 11 de mayo, 1897, párr 4-7; parcialmente en En los lugares celestiales, p. 241).

NOTAS DE ELENAMaterial complementario de la escuela Sabática para adultosNarrado por: Patty CuyanDesde: California, USAUna cortesía de DR'Ministries y Canaan Seventh-Day Adventist ChurchSÁBADO DE TARDE, 13 DE SEPTIEMBRE"TE RUEGO QUE ME MUESTRES TU GLORIA"Después de la transgresión de Israel, cuando este se hizo el becerro de oro, Moisés volvió a interceder ante Dios en favor de su pueblo. Él tenía cierto conocimiento de aquellos que habían sido confiados a su cuidado; conocía la perversidad del corazón humano, y comprendía las dificultades con que debía contender. Pero había aprendido por experiencia que a fin de tener influencia sobre el pueblo, debía tener primero poder con Dios. El Señor leyó la sinceridad y el propósito abnegado del corazón de su siervo, y condescendió en comunicarse con este débil mortal cara a cara, como un hombre habla con un amigo. Moisés se confió a Dios a sí mismo junto con todas sus cuitas, y abrió libremente su alma delante de él. El Señor no reprendió a su siervo, sino que condescendió en escuchar sus súplicas. Moisés tenía un profundo sentimiento de su indignidad y de su falta de capacidad para la gran obra a la cual Dios le había llamado. Suplicó con intenso fervor que el Señor fuese con él. La respuesta que recibió fue: "Mi presencia irá contigo, y te daré descanso" Éxodo 33:14. Pero Moisés no creía que podía conformarse con esto. Había ganado mucho, pero anhelaba acercarse más a Dios, y obtener mayor seguridad de su permanente presencia. Había llevado la carga de Israel; había soportado un peso abrumador de responsabilidad; cuando el pueblo pecaba, él sufría intenso remordimiento, como si él mismo fuese culpable; y ahora oprimía su alma un sentimiento de los terribles resultados que se producirían si Dios abandonaba a los hijos de Israel a la dureza e impenitencia de su corazón. No vacilarían en matar a Moisés, y por su propia temeridad y perversidad, no tardarían en caer presa de sus enemigos, y así deshonrarían el nombre de Dios ante los paganos. Moisés insistía en su petición con tanto fervor y sinceridad, que le llegó la respuesta: "También haré esto que has dicho, por cuanto has hallado gracia en mis ojos, y te he conocido por tu nombre". Éxodo 33:17 (Testimonios para la Iglesia, t. 4, pp. 523, 524). Pero Moisés vio una base de esperanza donde solo aparecían motivos de desaliento e ira. Las palabras de Dios: "Ahora pues, déjame", las entendió, no como una prohibición, sino como un aliciente a interceder; entendió que nada excepto sus oraciones podía salvar a Israel, y que si él lo pedía, Dios perdonaría a su pueblo... Mientras Moisés intercedía por Israel, perdió su timidez, movido por el profundo interés y amor que sentía hacia aquellos en cuyo favor él había hecho tanto como instrumento en las manos de Dios. El Señor escuchó sus súplicas, y otorgó lo que pedía tan desinteresadamente. Examinó a su siervo; probó su fidelidad y su amor hacia aquel pueblo ingrato, inclinado a errar, y Moisés soportó noblemente la prueba. Su interés por Israel no provenía de motivos egoístas. Apreciaba la prosperidad del pueblo escogido de Dios más que su honor personal, más que el privilegio de llegar a ser el padre de una nación poderosa. Dios se sintió complacido por la fidelidad de Moisés, por su sencillez de corazón y su integridad; y le dio, como a un fiel pastor, la gran misión de conducir a Israel a la tierra pro-metida (Historia de los patriarcas y profetas, pp. 329, 330).

Some people think being rich means owning a lot of things—when in reality, being “rich” often means a lot of things owning you. The signs of wealth are all around us: luxury cars, upscale neighborhoods, designer clothes, vacation homes. But do possessions really make people rich in a way that matters?It's hard to keep a Christ-centered perspective on wealth when our culture constantly pressures us to want more, buy more, and accumulate more. But this isn't a new problem. Jesus warned in Luke 12:15:“Take care, and be on your guard against all covetousness, for one's life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions.”Money and possessions aren't inherently bad, but they often tempt us toward greed, selfishness, and discontent. We need money to live, but when money becomes the main thing, it becomes a dangerous master.When Possessions Begin to Possess YouJesus doesn't just warn against greed—He offers us the key to true life: don't make your existence all about “the abundance of possessions,” or your possessions will start to possess you. Proverbs 23:4–5 echoes this wisdom:“Do not wear yourself out to get rich; do not trust your own cleverness. Cast but a glance at riches, and they are gone…”Material things can never give your heart what it truly craves.In Luke 12, Jesus tells the story of a wealthy man who tears down his barns to build bigger ones, dreaming of a long, comfortable retirement. But before he can enjoy it, God says:“You fool! This very night your life will be demanded from you. Then who will get what you have prepared for yourself?”Jesus concludes, “This is how it will be with whoever stores up things for themselves but is not rich toward God.”The man's tragedy wasn't just that his life ended suddenly—it was that he invested his soul in temporary abundance instead of eternal riches.Eternity Written on Our HeartsEcclesiastes 3:11 reminds us that God has “set eternity in the human heart.” Deep down, we long for meaning, purpose, and eternal life—not just more stuff. C. S. Lewis put it well:“Aim at Heaven and you will get Earth ‘thrown in': aim at Earth and you get neither.”True abundance is found in knowing God, walking with Him, and letting His love overflow into the way we love others.Jesus said in John 10:10, “I came that they may have life and have it abundantly.” And in John 15:5, He promised, “Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit.”The abundant life isn't about bigger barns or fuller closets—it's about abiding in Christ. When we do, our lives bear fruit that blesses others and glorifies God.Where Is Your Treasure?So ask yourself: What are you depending on to give your life meaning? Could some of those things be quietly taking God's place in your heart?Pray for the Lord to uproot those desires and refocus your attention on Him. Because true wealth isn't found in what you own—it's found in who owns you.That's why we created Rich Toward God—a 4-week study on the Parable of the Rich Fool. It unpacks what it means to live open-handed with your finances, showing how biblical wisdom doesn't just transform your bank account—it transforms your heart.You can order your copy—or place a bulk order for your group—by visiting FaithFi.com and clicking “Shop.”On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I'm unsure how to handle requests for financial help from my husband's son and his family. They face ongoing money struggles and sometimes ask us for assistance, but I'm concerned that giving could be enabling poor decisions, like spending on things that don't reflect our values. How can we approach this situation with wisdom and biblical discernment?I already have a financial advisor and some investments in place, but I want to make sure my money is supporting companies that align with my faith. Is there a tool or resource that can help me evaluate whether my investments are consistent with biblical values?I have a will, and all my investments already list beneficiaries. My advisor says a trust isn't necessary, but my children believe it's the best way to avoid probate. Do I really need a trust?

Read Online“But woe to you who are rich, for you have received your consolation. But woe to you who are filled now, for you will be hungry. Woe to you who laugh now, for you will grieve and weep. Woe to you when all speak well of you, for their ancestors treated the false prophets in this way.” Luke 6:24–26Is it dangerous to be rich, to be filled, to laugh, and to have all speak well of you? According to Jesus, it appears so. Why would Jesus warn against these things? And before that, why would He pronounce it blessed to be poor, hungry, weeping and insulted? Essentially, Jesus was condemning four common sins—greed, gluttony, intemperance, and vainglory—and promoting their opposite virtues.Poverty, in and of itself, is not sufficient for holiness. But in Luke's Gospel, Jesus declares it blessed to be poor, literally. This goes further than Matthew's Gospel which says it is blessed to be “poor in spirit.” To be poor in spirit is to be spiritually detached from the material things of this world so that you can be fully open to the riches of God. One common tendency among those with material wealth is to rationalize that even though they have many things, they are detached from them. Hopefully that is the case. However, in Luke's version of the Beatitudes, Jesus directly says, “Blessed are you who are poor” and “woe to you who are rich.” In this teaching, we discover a second blessing not found in Matthew's version. In addition to spiritual detachment (poverty of spirit) being identified as a blessing, literal poverty is proclaimed as the easier way to achieve this spiritual detachment. Material wealth, though not a sin in and of itself, brings with it many temptations toward attachment, self-reliance, and self-indulgence. Thus, spiritually speaking, it is easier to be detached when one is poor, rather than when one is rich. This is a hard truth for both the poor and the rich to accept. The poor often want to be rich, thinking that if they were, they would share their wealth with others and remain detached. The rich often enjoy being rich and believe that they are more spiritually detached than they actually are.Being “hungry” is also identified as a blessed state, whereas being “filled” is a dangerous state. When you are literally hungry, either from fasting or from lack of an abundance of food, it is easier to turn your hunger and thirst toward God so as to be filled by Him and to more easily trust in His providence. An abundance of food, especially fine food, tempts you with a gluttonous satisfaction that makes it difficult to hunger and thirst for God and His holy will in a complete way. Therefore, if you refrain from indulgence and experience hunger, you will be blessed to be free from gluttony and even the temptation toward it.“Laughing” and “weeping” in this case are not referring to joy and despair. Rather, they are referring to those who are always seeking fun and an indulgent life. Many people live for fun, entertainment, and momentary pleasures. Weeping refers to those who have discovered that the fleeting pleasures of the world can never satisfy. Constant entertainment, therefore, brings with it a real temptation, whereas the loss of that form of fleeting pleasure helps eliminate that temptation.Finally, Jesus declares it blessed to be hated, excluded, insulted, and denounced as evil on account of Him rather than being spoken well of by all. In this case, Jesus is referring to the praise that comes from things that mean nothing from an eternal perspective. When all speak well of us, praising qualities and accomplishments that are not true Christian virtues, we will be tempted to rely upon that praise for our satisfaction. But this form of satisfaction is nothing other than vainglory and never truly satisfies in the end. However, when one sees and praises the virtues of God within us, God is praised first and foremost, and we are blessed to share in God's glory. Reflect, today, upon whether you prefer to be rich, to indulge in the best of foods, to be constantly entertained and to be the envy of others, or whether you see the temptations this type of life brings. Reflect also upon the concrete spiritual blessings that come to those who are literally poor, hungry, temperate and humble. This is a very demanding teaching from Jesus. If it doesn't sit well with you, then know that it is a sign that you still have various attachments in life. Reflect, especially, upon the beatitude that is most difficult to embrace, and make that beatitude the source of reflection and prayer. Doing so with honesty and openness will result in you being among those who are truly blessed in the eyes of God. My blessed Lord, You were poor, hungry, temperate and humble to the perfect degree. For these reasons, You were filled with perfect virtue and were satisfied to the greatest degree. Please open my eyes to the deceptions of this world so that I can live with You a life of true holiness, experiencing the riches of the Kingdom of Heaven.

En este episodio nos encontramos con Ricardo del Búfalo, un colega muy cercano desde nuestros inicios en la comedia. Desde el primer minuto compartimos la reflexión sobre el miedo escénico: ese cosquilleo que nunca se va y que, según descubrimos juntos, se vuelve incluso necesario para mantener la adrenalina viva antes de subirnos al escenario. Nos reconocemos en esa sensación, porque no importa cuántos años pasen, el temor de olvidar un chiste o de no provocar risa siempre está ahí.A lo largo de la charla repasamos la trayectoria de Ricardo, desde sus inicios en Barquisimeto hasta su llegada a Madrid. Recordamos cómo, antes de ser comediante, se proyectaba como músico y soñaba con estudiar en Berklee. Sin embargo, se dio cuenta de que lo que realmente lo movía no era pasar ocho horas tocando la guitarra, sino comunicar ideas, analizar la realidad venezolana y transformarla en humor. Boston le dejó, además, una pasión inesperada: la fotografía de calle, ese gusto por observar la ciudad y atrapar momentos.En la conversación aparecen las influencias fundamentales: Andrés López y Laureano Márquez. Con Laureano se produjo un encuentro clave, porque fue él quien le confesó que incluso después de décadas sigue sintiendo miedo al subir al escenario. Esa honestidad se convirtió en un abrazo simbólico que lo acompañó en sus primeros pasos. Después vino el debut en Caracas, un show de quince minutos que salió fatal, pero que él celebró como una victoria porque logró recordar todo lo que había escrito. Entre risas entendimos que muchas veces el primer triunfo está en simplemente atreverse.Uno de los momentos más intensos fue recordar la anécdota del “sopapo” en Miss Universo. Ricardo confesó cómo un chiste mal planteado se convirtió en ola de odio y cómo de esa experiencia aprendió que no se puede hacer humor con el cuerpo de otra persona. La respuesta fue convertir la crisis en una canción humorística, un “homenaje” que transformó el hate en creatividad. Entre todos coincidimos en que esa resiliencia, esa capacidad de dar vuelta a lo negativo, es lo que sostiene a los artistas.Finalmente hablamos de migración. Ricardo lleva pocos meses en Madrid y todavía vive el duelo de dejar Venezuela. Lo más duro, nos dice, es la nostalgia; lo más liberador, caminar de noche sin miedo. Descubrimos con él que migrar sin voluntad es una especie de destierro emocional, pero también que en esa experiencia se abren nuevas búsquedas y nuevos públicos. El humor, concluimos, es nuestra manera de mirar y pensar la vida, y gracias a él seguimos construyendo puentes, dentro y fuera de nuestros países.

NOTAS DE ELENAMaterial complementario de la escuela Sabática para adultosNarrado por: Patty CuyanDesde: California, USAUna cortesía de DR'Ministries y Canaan Seventh-Day Adventist ChurchMIÉRCOLES, 10 DE SEPTIEMBRELA JUSTA IRA DE DIOSDios vio que los hijos de Israel, especialmente la multitud mixta, estaban continuamente dispuestos a rebelarse y, con sus obras, provocarlo para que los destruyera. Sabía que murmurarían contra Moisés cuando estuvieran en dificultades, y que lo contristarían con su continua rebelión. Propuso a Moisés consumirlos y hacer de él una gran nación. En esto el Señor probó a Moisés. Sabía que conducir a aquel pueblo rebelde hasta la tierra prometida sería un trabajo laborioso y que pondría a prueba su alma. Quería poner a prueba la perseverancia, la fidelidad y el amor de Moisés hacia un pueblo tan descarriado e ingrato. Pero Moisés no consintió en que Israel fuera destruido. Demostró por sus intercesiones ante Dios que valoraba más la prosperidad del pueblo elegido de Dios que un gran nombre, o ser llamado padre de una nación más grande que Israel. "Entonces Moisés oró en presencia de Jehová su Dios, y dijo: Oh Jehová, ¿por qué se encenderá tu furor contra tu pueblo, que tú sacaste de la tierra de Egipto con gran poder y con mano fuerte? ¿Por qué han de hablar los egipcios, diciendo: Para mal los sacó, para matarlos en los montes, y para raerlos de sobre la faz de la tierra? Vuélvete del ardor de tu ira, y arrepiéntete de este mal contra tu pueblo. Acuérdate de Abraham, de Isaac y de Israel tus siervos, a los cuales has jurado por ti mismo, y les has dicho: Yo multiplicaré vuestra descendencia como las estrellas del cielo; y daré a vuestra descendencia toda esta tierra de que he hablado, y la tomarán por heredad para siempre". La idea de que las naciones paganas, y especialmente los egipcios, triunfarían sobre Israel y reprocharían a Dios, era abrumadora para Moisés. No podía abandonar a Israel, a pesar de toda su rebelión y de sus repetidas murmuraciones contra él. ¿Cómo iba a renunciar a un pueblo por el que tanto se había hecho y que de una manera tan maravillosa había sido liberado de Egipto? La noticia de su liberación se había difundido entre todas las naciones, y todos los pueblos estaban atentos para ver lo que Dios haría por ellos. Y Moisés recordaba bien las palabras de los egipcios, que los conducía al desierto para que perecieran, y él quedarse con sus posesiones. Y ahora, si Dios destruyera a su pueblo, y lo exaltara para ser una nación más grande que Israel, ¿no triunfarían los paganos, y se burlarían del Dios de los hebreos, y dirían que no era capaz de conducirlos a la tierra que les había prometido? Cuando Moisés intercedió por Israel ante Dios, su timidez se perdió en su profundo amor e interés por aquel pueblo por el que él, en las manos de Dios, había sido el medio de hacer tantas maravillas. Presentó ante Dios la promesa hecha a Abraham, Isaac y Jacob. Oró a Dios con fe firme y propósito decidido.

La nube, dijeron ellos, que hasta ahora los guiara, se había posado permanentemente sobre el monte, y ya no dirigía más su peregrinación. Querían tener una imagen en su lugar; y si, como se había sugerido, decidían volver a Egipto, hallarían favor ante los egipcios si llevaban esa imagen ante ellos y la reconocían como su dios. Para hacer frente a semejante crisis, hacía falta un hombre de firmeza, decisión, y ánimo imperturbable, un hombre que considerara el honor de Dios por sobre el favor popular, por sobre su seguridad personal y su misma vida. Pero el jefe provisorio de Israel no tenía ese carácter. Aarón reconvino débilmente al pueblo, y su vacilación y timidez en el momento crítico solo sirvieron para hacerlos más decididos en su propósito. El tumulto creció. Un frenesí ciego e irrazonable pareció posesionarse de la multitud. Algunos permanecieron fieles a su pacto con Dios; pero la mayor parte del pueblo se unió a la apostasía. Unos pocos, que osaron denunciar la propuesta imagen como idolatría, fueron atacados y maltratados, y en la confusión y el alboroto perdieron finalmente la vida. Aarón temió por su propia seguridad; y en vez de ponerse noble-mente de parte del honor de Dios, cedió a las demandas de la multitud. Su primer acto fue ordenar que el pueblo quitara todos sus aretes de oro y se los trajera. Esperaba que el orgullo haría que rehusaran semejante sacrificio. Pero entregaron de buena gana sus adornos, con los cuales él fundió un becerro semejante a los dioses de Egipto. El pueblo exclamó: "Israel, estos son tus dioses, que te sacaron de la tierra de Egipto". Con vileza, Aarón permitió este insulto a Jehová. Y fue aún más lejos. Viendo la satisfacción con que se había recibido el becerro de oro, hizo construir un altar ante él e hizo proclamar: "Mañana será fiesta a Jehová". El anuncio fue proclamado por medio de trompetas de compañía en compañía por todo el campamento. "Y el día siguiente madrugaron, y ofrecieron holocaustos, y presentaron pacíficos: y sentóse el pueblo a comer y a beber, y levantáronse a regocijarse". Con el pretexto de celebrar una "fiesta a Jehová", se entregaron a la glotonería y la orgía licenciosa (Historia de los patriarcas y profetas, pp. 326, 327).

NOTAS DE ELENAMaterial complementario de la escuela Sabática para adultosNarrado por: Patty CuyanDesde: California, USAUna cortesía de DR'Ministries y Canaan Seventh-Day Adventist ChurchLUNES, 08 DE SEPTIEMBRELA IDOLATRÍA Y EL MALDurante este período de espera, tuvieron tiempo para meditar acerca de la ley de Dios que habían oído, y preparar sus corazones para recibir las futuras revelaciones que Moisés pudiera hacerles. Pero no dedicaron mucho tiempo a esta obra. Si se hubieran consagrado a buscar un entendimiento más claro de los requerimientos de Dios, y hubieran humillado sus corazones ante él, habrían sido escudados contra la tentación. Pero no obraron así y pronto se volvieron descuidados, desatentos y licenciosos. Esto ocurrió especialmente entre la "multitud mixta" (V.M.) Sentían impaciencia por seguir hacia la tierra prometida, que fluía leche y miel. Les había sido prometida a condición de que obedecieran; pero habían perdido de vista ese requisito. Algunos sugirieron el regreso a Egipto; pero ya fuera para seguir hacia Canaán o para volver a Egipto, la masa del pueblo resolvió no esperar más a Moisés. Sintiéndose desamparados debido a la ausencia de su jefe, volvieron a sus antiguas supersticiones. La "multitud mixta" fue la primera en entregarse a la murmuración y la impaciencia, y de su seno salieron los cabecillas de la apostasía que siguió. Entre los objetos considerados por los egipcios corno símbolos de la divinidad estaba el buey, o becerro; y por indicación de los que habían practicado esta forma de idolatría en Egipto, hicieron un becerro y lo adoraron. El pueblo deseaba alguna imagen que representara a Dios, y que ocupara ante ellos el lugar de Moisés. Dios no había revelado ninguna semejanza de sí mismo, y había prohibido toda representación material que se propusiera hacerlo. Los extraordinarios milagros hechos en Egipto y en el mar Rojo tenían por fin establecer la fe en Jehová como el invisible y todopoderoso Ayudador de Israel, como el único Dios verdadero. Y el deseo de alguna manifestación visible de su presencia había sido atendido con la columna de nube y fuego que había guiado al pueblo, y con la revelación de su gloria sobre el monte Sinaí. Pero estando la nube de la presencia divina todavía ante ellos, volvieron sus corazones hacia la idolatría de Egipto, y representaron la gloria del Dios invisible por "la imagen de un buey" (Historia de los patriarcas y profetas, pp. 325, 326). Tan solo unos días antes, la presencia del Señor se había manifestado con tal poder que estaban terriblemente asustados y pedían que Moisés escuchara las palabras de Dios y luego les hablara de lo mismo. Pero ahora querían algo visible en lo que pudieran confiar. Podrían haber aprovechado ese momento para aprender lecciones preciosas que el Señor estaba dispuesto a darles si hubieran confiado plenamente en él. Pero el resultado de sus murmuraciones e incredulidad fue que Aarón les hizo un becerro de oro para representar a Dios. Proclamó que este ídolo era Dios, y se creó un gran entusiasmo por este falso dios. Si en vez de hacer esto, les hubiera recordado la maravillosa liberación que Dios había obrado en su favor, y todas las mentes se hubieran sentido impulsadas a expresar gratitud a Dios por todas sus ricas misericordias al liberar a su pueblo de la esclavitud egipcia, se habrían colocado en terreno ventajoso para glorificar al Señor Dios que había obrado tan maravillosa liberación de la degradación y la esclavitud (The Review and Herald, 6 de septiembre, 1906, párr 12, 13).

NOTAS DE ELENAMaterial complementario de la escuela Sabática para adultosNarrado por: Patty CuyanDesde: California, USAUna cortesía de DR'Ministries y Canaan Seventh-Day Adventist ChurchDOMINGO, 07 DE SEPTIEMBRELIDERAZGO FALLIDOAarón trató de defenderse explicando los clamores del pueblo... Pero de nada le valieron sus excusas y subterfugios... El hecho de que Aarón había sido bendecido y honrado más que el pueblo, hacía tanto más odioso su pecado. Fue Aarón, "el santo de Jehová" (Salmo 106:16) el que había hecho el ídolo y anunciado la fiesta. Fue él, que había sido nombrado portavoz de Moisés y acerca de quien Dios mismo había manifestado: "Yo sé que él puede hablar bien" (Éxodo 4:14), el que no impidió a los idólatras que cumplieran su osado propósito contra el Cielo. Fue Aarón, por medio de quien Dios había obrado y enviado juicios sobre los egipcios y sus dioses, el que sin inmutarse oyó proclamar ante la imagen fundida: "Estos son tus dioses, que te sacaron de la tierra de Egipto". Fue él, que presenció la gloria del Señor cuando estuvo con Moisés en el monte y que no había visto nada en ella de lo cual pudiese hacerse una imagen, el que trocó aquella gloria en la semejanza de un becerro. Fue él, a quien Dios había con-fiado el gobierno del pueblo en ausencia de Moisés, el que sancionó la rebelión del pueblo por lo cual "contra Aarón también se enojó Jehová en gran manera para destruirlo". Deuteronomio 9:20. Pero en respuesta a la vehemente intercesión de Moisés, se le perdonó la vida; y porque se humilló y se arrepintió de su gran pecado fue restituido al favor de Dios. Si Aarón hubiera tenido valor para sostener lo recto, sin importarle las consecuencias, habría podido evitar aquella apostasía. Si hubiera mantenido inalterable su fidelidad a Dios, si hubiera recordado al pueblo los peligros del Sinaí y su pacto solemne con Dios, por el cual se habían comprometido a obedecer su ley, se habría impedido el mal. Pero su sumisión a los deseos del pueblo y la tranquila seguridad con la cual procedió a llevar a cabo los planes de ellos, los llevó a hundirse en el pecado más de lo que habían pensado... De todos los pecados que Dios castigará, ninguno es más grave ante sus ojos que el de aquellos que animan a otros a cometer el mal (Conflicto y valor, 2 de abril, p. 98). Aquí se ve la deficiencia de Aarón como dirigente o gobernante de Israel. El pueblo lo acosa para que les haga dioses que vayan delante de ellos a Egipto. Aquí Aarón tenía una oportunidad para mostrar su fe y confianza inamovible en Dios, y para enfrentar con firmeza y decisión la propuesta del pueblo. Pero su deseo natural de agradar y de ceder [ante la presión del] pueblo lo condujeron a sacrificar el honor de Dios. Les pidió que le trajeran sus ornamentos, y les hizo un becerro de oro y proclamó ante el pueblo: "Israel, estos son tus dioses, que te sacaron de la tierra de Egipto". Éxodo 32:4. Y él hizo un altar a este dios sin sentido y proclamó que el día siguiente sería un día de fiesta al Señor. Parecía que toda restricción había sido quitada del pueblo. Ofrecieron holocaustos al becerro de oro y se apoderó de ellos un espíritu de frivolidad. Cayeron en un desenfreno vergonzoso y en borrachera; comieron, bebieron y se levantaron a jugar (Testimonios para la Iglesia, t. 3, pp. 326, 327).

NOTAS DE ELENAMaterial complementario de la escuela Sabática para adultosNarrado por: Patty CuyanDesde: California, USAUna cortesía de DR'Ministries y Canaan Seventh-Day Adventist ChurchSÁBADO DE TARDE, 06 DE SEPTIEMBREAPOSTASÍA E INTERCESIÓNFue la multitud mixta que vino de Egipto con los israelitas la principal impulsora de este terrible alejamiento de Dios. Se les llamaba multitud mixta, porque los hebreos se habían casado con los egipcios. Los hijos de Israel habían visto a Moisés subir al monte y entrar en la nube mientras la cima de la montaña estaba en llamas. Esperaban su regreso todos los días, y como no volvía del monte tan pronto como esperaban, se impacientaron. Especialmente los egipcios creyentes, que salieron de Egipto con la hueste hebrea, se impacientaron y se rebelaron. Una gran multitud se reunió alrededor de la tienda de Aarón, y le dijeron que Moisés no volvería nunca, que la nube que hasta entonces los había guiado descansaba ahora sobre el monte, y que ya no dirigiría su ruta a través del desierto. Deseaban algo que pudieran contemplar y que se pareciera a Dios. Recordaban los dioses de los egipcios, y Satanás aprovechaba esta oportunidad, en ausencia de su líder designado, para tentarlos a imitar a los egipcios en su idolatría. Sugirieron que si Moisés no volvía nunca a ellos, podrían regresar a Egipto y ganarse el favor de los egipcios llevando esta imagen ante ellos, reconociéndola como su dios. Aarón se opuso a sus planes, hasta que consideró que el pueblo estaba decidido a llevar a cabo su propósito, y dejó de razonar con ellos. Los reclamos del pueblo hicieron que Aarón temiera por su vida. Y en vez de levantarse noblemente en defensa del honor de Dios, y confiar su vida en las manos de quien había obrado maravillas en favor de su pueblo, perdió su valor, su confianza en Dios, y cedió cobardemente a los deseos de un pueblo impaciente, y esto, además, en oposición directa a los mandamientos de Dios. Hizo un ídolo y construyó un altar en el que ofrecían sacrificios a ese ídolo. Y Aarón se resignó a oír al pueblo proclamar: "Israel, estos son tus dioses, que te sacaron de la tierra de Egipto". ¡Qué gran ofensa a Jehová! Hacía poco que habían escuchado la proclamación de la ley de Dios desde el Sinaí, en medio de las más sublimes demostraciones del poder divino, y cuando su fe fue puesta a prueba, al alejarse Moisés de ellos por algunas semanas, se dedicaron a la idolatría que había sido tan recientemente especificada, y expresamente prohibida por Jehová. Al hacerlo, transgredieron el primer mandamiento y el segundo. La ira de Dios se encendió contra ellos (Spiritual Gifts, t. 3, pp. 274-276). 

This Podcast Is Episode 644, And It's About Five Hidden Ways Contractors Lose Profits (And How To Stop It) Where did the money go? If you've ever looked at your bank account at the end of a busy month and thought, "I did all that work—so where did the money go?", you're not alone. This is one of the most common frustrations we hear from small business owners in the construction industry. You're booking jobs, staying busy, and delivering great work—but the profit doesn't seem to match the effort. As construction bookkeeping specialists, we've seen behind the numbers of dozens of small contractors. And time and again, we find the same hidden leaks draining their profits. The good news? Once you know what to look for, you can fix them—and finally start keeping more of what you earn. Here are five common ways contractors lose profits (without even realizing it)—and what you can do to stop the leaks. 1. Untracked Labor Hours: Working More Than You Billed Labor is often your most considerable cost. But for many small contractors, labor tracking is one of the weakest parts of their system. If you (or your crew) aren't logging actual hours worked on each job, you're likely underestimating how much time the project really took. That means you're effectively working for free on those "extra" hours. Real example: A contractor estimated a bathroom remodel at 40 hours of labor. The job actually took 55 hours. At $50/hour, that's $750 of lost profit—just from labor under-tracking. Multiply that across several jobs, and you can see how the profits evaporate. How to fix it: Use a simple time-tracking tool (like QuickBooks Time, or even a shared spreadsheet). Log hours daily—not at the end of the week when details are fuzzy. Compare estimated vs. actual hours after each job. This helps you improve future bids and spot inefficiencies. Bookkeeper's tip: If you track hours properly, I can show you job profitability in real time—and you'll see exactly which jobs (or crew members) are eating into your margin. 2. Unapproved Change Orders: Giving Away Work for Free Scope creep is the silent profit killer. A client asks, "Can you just add this?" and you say yes because it seems like a minor request. But those "little extras" add up quickly—and suddenly your margins are gone. Real example: A deck project initially included a standard railing. Midway through, the client asked for an upgraded design. The contractor agreed but never adjusted the invoice. The upgrade cost him $500 in materials and 10 extra labor hours—completely unpaid. How to fix it: Create a straightforward change order process. Stop work when clients request something new until the change is approved in writing. Even if it feels awkward, remember: change orders protect both you and the client by keeping expectations clear. Bookkeeper's tip: Keep a change order log for each job. We can help track approved vs. pending changes—so nothing slips through the cracks. 3. Material Waste and Overruns: Small Leaks, Big Losses Materials are another common leak. If you're not reconciling receipts against your estimates, you may be spending far more than you realize. It's not always theft or big mistakes—it's the little things: over-ordering, miscuts, lost supplies, or last-minute runs to the hardware store. Real example: A contractor estimated $5,000 in materials for a kitchen remodel. By the end, he had spent $5,800. That $800 didn't seem huge—but on a project with a $2,000 expected profit, it wiped out nearly half. How to fix it: Match every material receipt to the job. Track waste (e.g., lumber offcuts, unused drywall sheets). Build a small buffer into estimates (5–10%) to account for inevitable overruns. Do weekly check-ins: Are material costs still aligned with the budget? Bookkeeper's tip: If you send us your receipts consistently, we can flag when a job is trending over budget before it's too late. 4. Late Invoicing and Slow Collections: Cash Flow Gaps Many contractors do the work first and think about invoicing later. The problem is that late invoices result in late payments. And late payments can create cash flow crunches that force you to dip into savings, use credit, or delay your own bills. Worse, some clients "forget" to pay unless reminded. If you're not consistent about invoicing and follow-ups, you might never collect everything you've earned. Real example: A contractor finished a $10,000 basement project but didn't invoice until six weeks later. The client delayed payment for another four weeks. That's 10 weeks without income—while the contractor was already paying subs and suppliers. How to fix it: Invoice immediately at milestones—not weeks later. Use progress billing: collect deposits upfront, then bill at set phases. Set clear payment terms (Net 15, Net 30) in your contracts. Automate reminders using software like QuickBooks, Joist, or FreshBooks. Bookkeeper's tip: We can set up a system where invoices go out automatically and overdue payments are flagged—so you never have to chase clients down again. 5. Forgetting Overhead: Missing the True Cost of Running Your Business This is one of the biggest mistakes we see: contractors price jobs based only on direct costs (labor + materials) and forget to include overhead. Overhead is everything it takes to keep your business running, like: Truck payments and fuel Insurance and licenses Office supplies and software Marketing and advertising Your own salary! If you don't factor in overhead, you might think you made a profit—but really, you just broke even. Real example: A contractor charged $15,000 for a renovation. Materials and labor cost $11,000, so it looked like a $4,000 profit. However, once overhead was factored in (including fuel, insurance, phone, bookkeeping, etc.), the actual profit was closer to $1,200. How to fix it: Calculate your monthly overhead. Divide that into your billable hours or projects. Add it to every estimate. Bookkeeper's tip: We can calculate your overhead burden per job, so you'll know exactly how much to add to every quote to stay profitable. Recap: 5 Hidden Profit Leaks Untracked labor hours Unapproved change orders Material waste and overruns Late invoicing and slow collections Forgetting overhead Each of these may seem small, but together they can drain thousands of dollars from your business every year. The Bottom Line: You Don't Have to Keep Losing Money The difference between "busy and broke" and "busy and profitable" isn't more jobs—it's better control of your numbers. When you track your labor, materials, change orders, invoices, and overhead, you stop the leaks and keep more of the money you've already earned. And you don't have to do it alone.

This week on Material Concerns Hannah, Marcelle and Coach start with a sweet little check in, including Hannah's ideal way to start the day, a Pitt update from Marcelle, and some very exciting creative news from Coach. Then Coach leads a "Left on the Table" segment that turns into an impromptu Coach's Corner. And to finish off part one, the trio each gets a minute for their "Okay, Hear Me Out" segment, in which cases are made for: being nude around your friends, reading books written or set in the place you live, and that graphic novels should not be pulled from shelves in Alberta. Head to Patreon.com/ohwitchplease to listen to Part II. For as little as $54/year, you'll get ad-free episodes, bloopers, a backlog of content and part two of all Material Concerns episodes!
