This week we popped open a bottle of Sauvignon Blanc and took a walk down memory lane with Donna Abood, a true powerhouse in the real estate world. With over 40 years of experience, Donna's journey is as inspiring as it is impressive.Real estate runs in her veins—her father was a developer in St. Petersburg, but Donna carved her own path. After graduating from FSU, she made the bold move to Miami instead of joining her family's business. She quickly made waves in property management and brokerage, specializing in office leasing.Donna's entrepreneurial spirit led her to found Abood & Associates in 1989, where she served as the sole owner and acting principal. In 2002, she joined forces with Michael Fay to create Abood Wood-Fay Real Estate Group, which eventually became part of Avison Young in 2014. There, Donna made history as the first woman Managing Director of an Avison Young office, overseeing everything from business development to tenant and landlord representation across Miami-Dade County.With more than 80 million square feet of office leases under her belt and hundreds of tenant representation deals completed, Donna's track record speaks for itself. Now, as Vice Chairman and Co-Head of the Florida Region at Savills, she's leading the charge in expanding the firm's presence throughout the state.Join us as Donna shares lessons from her storied career, insights on navigating the ever-changing real estate market, and what it takes to be a trailblazer in a competitive industry.Connect with usLooking to dive deeper into the Miami commercial real estate scene?

Glioblastoma is a type of brain cancer that is very aggressive and difficult to treat. The current standard treatment involves surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy with a drug called temozolomide (TMZ). However, many glioblastoma cells can resist the DNA-damaging effects of TMZ and radiation by activating a mechanism called the DNA damage response (DDR). This mechanism, while beneficial in normal cells, is detrimental to cancer therapy because it allows cancer cells to repair damage and continue to grow and divide. There is a need to counteract this mechanism in glioblastoma cancer cells. In a new study, researchers Mathew Lozinski, Nikola A. Bowden, Moira C. Graves, Michael Fay, Bryan W. Day, Brett W. Stringer, and Paul A. Tooney from University of Newcastle, Hunter Medical Research Institute, GenesisCare, QIMR Berghofer Medical Research Institute, and Griffith University found that a drug called gartisertib may overcome this resistance by inhibiting a key protein involved in the DDR, called ataxia-telangiectasia and Rad3-Related protein (ATR). On January 16, 2024, the researchers published their new research paper in Oncotarget's Volume 15, entitled, “ATR inhibition using gartisertib enhances cell death and synergises with temozolomide and radiation in patient-derived glioblastoma cell lines.” Full blog - https://www.oncotarget.org/2024/01/25/new-drug-may-boost-effectiveness-of-glioblastoma-treatment/ Paper DOI - https://doi.org/10.18632/oncotarget.28551 Correspondence to - Paul A.

BUFFALO, NY- January 17, 2024 – A new #research paper was #published in Oncotarget's Volume 15 on January 16, 2024, entitled, “ATR inhibition using gartisertib enhances cell death and synergises with temozolomide and radiation in patient-derived glioblastoma cell lines.” Glioblastoma cells can restrict the DNA-damaging effects of temozolomide (TMZ) and radiation therapy (RT) using the DNA damage response (DDR) mechanism which activates cell cycle arrest and DNA repair pathways. Ataxia-telangiectasia and Rad3-Related protein (ATR) plays a pivotal role in the recognition of DNA damage induced by chemotherapy and radiation causing downstream DDR activation. In this new study, researchers Mathew Lozinski, Nikola A. Bowden, Moira C. Graves, Michael Fay, Bryan W. Day, Brett W. Stringer, and Paul A. Tooney from University of Newcastle, Hunter Medical Research Institute, GenesisCare, QIMR Berghofer Medical Research Institute, and Griffith University investigated the activity of the ATR inhibitor gartisertib alone, and in combination with TMZ and/or RT, in multiple patient-derived glioblastoma cell lines. “Using a panel of 12 patient-derived glioblastoma cell lines, we investigated the chemo- and radio-sensitizing effect of gartisertib, a potent and selective inhibitor of ATR [26] that was explored in a phase 1 clinical trial for patients with advanced solid tumors (NCT02278250).” The team showed that gartisertib alone potently reduced the cell viability of glioblastoma cell lines, where sensitivity was associated with the frequency of DDR mutations and higher expression of the G2 cell cycle pathway. ATR inhibition significantly enhanced cell death in combination with TMZ and RT and was shown to have higher synergy than TMZ+RT treatment. MGMT promoter unmethylated and TMZ+RT resistant glioblastoma cells were also more sensitive to gartisertib. Analysis of gene expression from gartisertib treated glioblastoma cells identified the upregulation of innate immune-related pathways. “Overall, this study identifies ATR inhibition as a strategy to enhance the DNA-damaging ability of glioblastoma standard treatment, while providing preliminary evidence that ATR inhibition induces an innate immune gene signature that warrants further investigation.” DOI - https://doi.org/10.18632/oncotarget.28551 Correspondence to - Paul A.

So what's interesting in what I'm hearing and what I'm starting to see is, yes, the foreclosures are coming in, but there's going to be, what I would say, a proverbial kicking the can down the road. What does that look like? 00:00:23:18 - 00:00:24:17 Michael T. Fay Welcome to the How. 00:00:24:17 - 00:00:47:14 Sam Wilson To Scale Commercial Real Estate Show.

Michael, there are three questions I ask every guest who comes on the show in 90 seconds or less. Can you tell me where did you start? Where are you now and how did you get there? 00:01:08:12 - 00:01:30:14 Michael T. Fay Started commercial real estate when I was 13 years old. Honestly, I was 13 was the time when I wanted to really think about real estate. It was a great way to watch. Watch. It happened with some friends of ours. I started in commercial real estate 20 when I was 20 years old, actually this month, July 20, 23. It's been 40 years, so 40 years in the business right now. 00:01:31:10 - 00:01:49:03 Michael T. Fay I reside in Miami, Florida and a couple other places. It's really it's been a great business. It was involved with a bank and some other really great entrepreneurial ventures in commercial real estate. Just allows such a purview into so many businesses and things going on. So that's why I feel blessed to be here. 00:01:49:07 - 00:02:07:00 Sam Wilson Yeah. My gosh, that's that's a heck of a career and a heck of a job. I mean, I'm thinking just the amount of change that you went through from 83 to 0 three. Right. Like that was that was incredible. And then to see that, then turn and then do it again for the next 20 years, that's a lot. 00:02:07:01 - 00:02:21:01 Sam Wilson That's a lot to compress here into a 15 minute podcast, and I'm sure we won't even begin to scratch the surface. Tell me, what are some things you know that you're working on right now that you said, hey, this is this is something I'm really excited about in the commercial real estate space. 00:02:22:24 - 00:02:46:20 Michael T. Fay So right now, just to go back to what you just said and these 20 year segments, I think I nine different downturns. So that was from the RTC days of the nineties to the Russian ruble crisis to the war and the Great Recession of oh eight and of course, the pandemic and today our great inflationary the so, you know, we see these and there's a couple more in between I think today. 00:02:47:04 - 00:03:20:13 Michael T. Fay What's exciting is that they're really a tale of many cities and it depends a lot for the country. There's all sorts of opportunity that goes on in different product types, whether it's office for a retail, multifamily development deals. You know, we do some of the largest, largest sales of development sites, especially down here in South Florida, out working on the $1.2 billion sale for Dante, the Malaysian gaming company, which we exclusive represent where the middle of several offers, all that which we're locking in on right now. 00:03:21:03 - 00:03:55:13 Michael T. Fay We have other larger development sites that we do work with the courts. We do work with the special servicers, which I'll get into in a moment on the curbside. But, you know, I would tell you, each area of the United States is got its own opportunities and weaknesses. But I think the biggest weakness that we're seeing across the whole country, South Florida being the exception or as the office for the office, the return to office, the amount of office buildings that are experiencing the distress, the higher vacancies of digital. 00:03:55:14 - 00:04:09:10 Michael T. Fay Right now, we're going to see one of the largest resets, I think all the office product that we've ever seen across the country. This goes for all the major metropolitan markets to CBDs as well as even tertiary markets. 00:04:11:00 - 00:04:16:20 Sam Wilson Major resets. What are some things that you're seeing when when you say major reset, what comes to mind? 00:04:18:00 - 00:04:37:23 Michael T. Fay So a major reset really is what's the office what is the office going to look like? What does office space look like for the next two years, five years, ten years, 20 years? How our employees work, how are people coming back to the office? So a lot of the work around the office, there's different, you know, different companies of work to work differently. 00:04:38:17 - 00:05:07:13 Michael T. Fay You know, a lot of groups have got a three day work week, a lot of groups are doing a full time. You got to come back to work. So some groups and companies are having a specified amount of days and weeks and vice versa. So I think each company is going through that. What's bad and what has been very tried is the owners of these office buildings are experiencing these companies say we don't know what we want. 00:05:07:16 - 00:05:31:10 Michael T. Fay So therefore there's a large amount of uncertainty. How much space am I going to be? What does the amenities look like? What what do what do employees want to come back to? Do they feel safe? Do they feel secure? Why? Why should people come back? I already said, you know, our biggest thing is camaraderie, communication, collaboration and partnership. 00:05:31:10 - 00:05:53:23 Michael T. Fay And so we kind of drive off of those four pieces of why we're back in the office and what we're doing in the office. But a lot of companies feel differently. So what, in my opinion, is as we go through these this thought process, you're now hitting on large vacancies. But look at New York, you're probably sitting at a 32% vacancy rate. 00:05:54:21 - 00:06:20:09 Michael T. Fay But this that's not uncommon. There's a lot of other areas you could go to Chicago, you go to Houston, you could go to L.A., you can go to all these other major markets or having resets, if you will. So that's that's the big reset. The second part of the reset is really what are the lenders doing all these large office portfolios and or individual assets across the country? 00:06:20:09 - 00:06:43:14 Michael T. Fay So when you sit there and have all these groups that are trying to figure out their load, so we've got rising inflation and rising interest rates, interest rates right now or at the top, as we've seen, that is put a major downward pressure on a lot of these groups that have got what we call maturing loans. These are loans that are maturing during this period of time, which is really creating, again, more downward pressure. 00:06:43:14 - 00:06:48:03 Michael T. Fay So we've got these two confluences coming in and really created this downward pressure. 00:06:49:08 - 00:07:10:07 Sam Wilson What so what are lenders let's talk about that for a minute. What are lenders doing and what are borrowers doing their own office space? I mean, we haven't and forgive me if I'm wrong, tell you. Tell me if I'm wrong, rather. But I don't know that we've seen mass foreclosure in the office space yet. Is that is that the case? 00:07:10:12 - 00:07:44:00 Michael T. Fay And so you're asking. Great question. So I'm going to break it down to basically two or three areas. So what what's happened is I wrote the asset resolution revisiting. We've got 140 different people across the US and the major market and tertiary markets and we are all hyper focused on helping lenders. That's is the special servicers, the banks, life insurance companies and even Bassetti lenders work through any issues that they have during this time. 00:07:44:00 - 00:08:07:00 Michael T. Fay And by the way, separating office for 1/2, it could be an issue of a shopping center, could be an issue on a mall. Right. These things. And by the way, it's also depends on what part of the market you're to see the market, the country. So we're seeing that under the scenario of the office buildings, I will tell you there's been some really large major national banks. 00:08:07:17 - 00:08:35:17 Michael T. Fay Those banks peeled back many, many borrowers after the 2008, 2009 crash. And they would have call it 90,000 borrowers. They scaled it down to 10,000 borrowers. The other 80,000 borrowers went up to community banks. They went off to regional banks. So they the large banks spread the risk. But what's happened is the call it the 10,000 customers they kept were the large ones. 00:08:35:17 - 00:09:03:03 Michael T. Fay Those were the 150, 253 or $400 million credit facilities. And there's an old saying, little kids, little probes, big kids, big problems. So we've got that big kid, big problem. That's affecting a lot of the servicers and the banks. So when we think about the office buildings themselves, that's where the resets come at it. So you've got maturity and you've got vacancy issues and you've got return to work and what does it look like? 00:09:03:20 - 00:09:31:15 Michael T. Fay So I read a statistic probably six months ago. All the office buildings, only about 15% of office buildings can really only be repurposed for multifamily or some other use outside of office. So what's interesting in what I'm hearing and what I'm starting to see is, yes, the foreclosures are coming in, but there's going to be, what I would say, a, the proverbial kicking the can down the road. 00:09:31:15 - 00:09:56:13 Michael T. Fay What does that look like? The kicking the can is really to say, okay, we're going to extend your load, we're going to reset the load. We're going to do a lot of different things. But it depends on your servicer that looks a little different than if you're a bank and so you've got these different ways. So I think the resetting is they're going to get creative and state listen, the property was worth $100 million. 00:09:56:13 - 00:10:17:00 Michael T. Fay The loan was 60 million. So now all of a sudden the property is worth 60 million. So does the bank want it back? The bank may say, listen, borrower put in 10 billion or let us work out a short sale. Effectively bring in a new buyer that's going to put in ten or 15 million. That will keep the of the 60 billion. 00:10:18:06 - 00:10:39:24 Michael T. Fay There's going to be a lot of creative ways. Now, the problem is banks handle it differently than servicers because you've got bondholders on the service side, you've got credit default swaps, you've got a lot of other what I would say pressure points in that as opposed to a bank which the banks making decisions based on their capital and their earnings for the actual quarter. 00:10:41:08 - 00:11:08:19 Sam Wilson I know that's a that's a really, really interesting scenario that you're painting there. So 85% of office space will forever be office space is what I'm hearing. You're saying we can only convert 15% of it if they're kicking the can down the road, trying to get creative, trying to work out strategies, or even doing cash in refinancing is I mean, how how are borrowers doing that? 00:11:08:19 - 00:11:17:09 Sam Wilson Hey, come up with ten or 15 million bucks for an office space maybe that's vacant or is already underperforming like get that. Well, million bucks from where? 00:11:18:02 - 00:11:43:04 Michael T. Fay So I will not name names, but you can figure out the names, the names of all the big investment houses and investment groups that have got all this product in their portfolios. They're either selling it the major discounts and getting out or to handing it back. Right. But they're giving it back. Now, what's interesting, those same groups are also creating new funds. 00:11:43:20 - 00:12:07:20 Michael T. Fay Okay. Investments, funds to go back and buy distressed office at a reset number. And that's what's going to end up happening because it's the only way to look when you when you think about offices and I'm talking about class A trophy assets were you and I don't care if you use New York City just because everybody's picking on New York City today. 00:12:07:20 - 00:12:35:07 Michael T. Fay You know, somebody said it was called New Glut City, you know, glut of office space. I read that an article somewhere, right. 88 with the imagination of having corporate tenants on long term leases forever. And it's very hard to move. And all of a sudden today it's changed, COVID changed that whole thing. So now these corporations, as I said, are working differently and their employees are working differently. 00:12:35:07 - 00:13:06:16 Michael T. Fay People are working differently. So therefore, that whole that whole system and that whole business plan has really changed. So it's forcing a reset, which I keep saying at it's forcing a different look. And the way to do that is, is to really get real with what the situation is and handle it. So, you know, all these groups are having properties back, but they're also figured out new funds, distressed funds or opportunistic funds to go back and say, how do we work on the reset and make this better? 00:13:06:24 - 00:13:15:19 Sam Wilson Absolutely. I mean, it's it's the it's the right time to buy. It just kind of seems like I mean, obviously, these large companies can pull this off. 00:13:16:06 - 00:13:45:14 Michael T. Fay But let me say one thing, which is really think you will find believe it or not, and I'm not suggesting that, but you will find some major metropolitan cities in the CBD, areas where you may say this office building will no longer be there. They're going to figure out either if they can't repurpose it, which is about 50%, you may see these buildings getting pulled down and then having a brand new build where we are seeing this in Miami or land values of Miami are continuing to increase all the time. 00:13:45:21 - 00:14:00:11 Michael T. Fay And, you know, we're bordered by Biscayne Bay and the Everglades. So the the amount of land I mean, you can look it doesn't matter if you're Chicago. It doesn't matter if you're a New York, L.A. It's it's really, you know, land constraints that drive everything. 00:14:00:16 - 00:14:17:23 Sam Wilson Yeah, absolutely. Absolutely. But on the buy side of things, I mean, I was talking to somebody else here on the show recently and they were saying, you know, hey, we're buying office space in New York City as fast as we can possibly get our hands on it simply because they're paying three or 400 bucks a square foot. When he goes two, three years ago, we're paying nine. 00:14:18:21 - 00:14:20:07 Michael T. Fay Or 1100. Right. 00:14:20:16 - 00:14:26:22 Sam Wilson Right, right. And he goes, even if we're just even if our plan is to buy it and sit on it, like, okay. 00:14:27:09 - 00:14:44:15 Michael T. Fay That's where you get to. But, you know, look, you get figure out today. So office buildings are very interesting. You have cost of capital, so you've got the interest rate, then you've got debt improvements and certainly a tenant rep, at least high commissions, those are all very, very big. The old adage was make it disappear, turn it off. 00:14:44:15 - 00:15:04:15 Michael T. Fay Owning an office building as you own it, but you make all your money off the sale, sign it. And that's what it was for years, you know. Right, because it's a cap asset class. It was also considered one of the safest asset classes for years. And and now, you know, multifamily, you know, it's paid carpet. Thank you very much. 00:15:04:22 - 00:15:29:14 Michael T. Fay You know, I can raise rents all year long as leases rule. So that's why multifamily continues to still be an asset class. No other asset class is just the back end of that industrial. You know, when you think about the pandemic pressing forward, the use of Internet retail sales, it went from that call it seven to 8% to 15% in a period of two years. 00:15:29:18 - 00:15:58:03 Michael T. Fay That was almost like 10 to 12 years of growth compounded into only two years. And when you think of the logistics that's going on and the distribution centers and everything else that happens, that's what you know, you look at great companies like Prologis and these other larger groups of these larger industrial groups that continue to build and service the retailers from that standpoint, but also the last mile logistics, which is really becoming interesting. 00:15:58:11 - 00:16:01:05 Michael T. Fay So Industrial Can has really got it. 00:16:01:05 - 00:16:22:23 Sam Wilson Absolutely does. Yeah. It's very, very, very interesting to watch kind of how all of these interplay and see which ones are really doing well and which ones are struggling or plateauing. And again, you know, I've heard it said since I got in real estate a decade ago, you know, that real estate is local. I mean, I think I think I'm hearing that from you in the South Florida market. 00:16:22:23 - 00:16:24:15 Sam Wilson You guys are having a. 00:16:25:15 - 00:16:50:13 Michael T. Fay It's it's it's local in a lot of ways. But when you start to look at industrial industrials more regionalized, if you will, only because of what your handling of retail is local. But it depends also what you're doing. But, you know, when you look at the Internet sales for certain retailers and that experience becomes a whole different game and how that's played. 00:16:50:13 - 00:17:14:08 Michael T. Fay So look, you know, I think, you know, good neighborhood retail you know anchored retail's good the malls we are having several malls right now we're in a couple of foreclosure malls. You know, we're image the malls like the Broward Mall here in Fort Lauderdale for Rialto. It's an incredible mall. And it's got such an unbelievable upside of development and a replay there. 00:17:14:08 - 00:17:37:20 Michael T. Fay So, you know, we're in the middle of doing that. We're going to have a call for offers here in the next call. It probably right after Labor Day weekend. But my point being is this is the transformation of malls and creating what I would say, urban urban centers, if you will, that will have residential redone, retail, destination, entertainment, things of that nature. 00:17:37:20 - 00:17:56:19 Sam Wilson Yeah, those are cool projects to to see come around. I mean, in malls, my gosh, the amount of land those take up and the redevelopment front there it's saying that sounds like that's an awesome opportunity. And I looked at a project here recently, I think it was in Cincinnati, similar idea. I mean, just an enormous undertaking. And it was. 00:17:56:19 - 00:17:57:08 Michael T. Fay Absolutely. 00:17:57:12 - 00:18:19:00 Sam Wilson All all the the the the redevelopment of an existing mall. What are some other opportunities do you really see right now? I mean, you get to see things from a lot of different angles. But when looking at the real estate, commercial real estate landscape kind of across the country, what's something you see is you say, hey, there's excellent opportunity in what. 00:18:20:15 - 00:18:45:06 Michael T. Fay I, I still think, you know, if you're looking at real estate, you can look a lot of these, right? Some of the reach of this public sector of the stocks. I think you could follow some of those groups and probably get some interesting buys from that standpoint as this reset is taking place, whether it's an office read or industrial read or a retail, whatever they may be or even a multifamily, I think you'll start to see some of those play. 00:18:45:06 - 00:19:09:09 Michael T. Fay So if you're not buying real estate, you could participate from that standpoint. I think also, you know, the crowd source funny continues to be some people are doing that. But you know, again, you've got to be careful with the sponsors. You've got to work with the right sponsors. You know, you've got to watch what's going on to see how they handle their assets or what they do. 00:19:09:23 - 00:19:32:17 Michael T. Fay You know, commercial real estate really for years and years and years, you know, those capital intensive, you will have a large slug of equity. You need to be able to apply your loans. So right now, the opportunity, I think, is going to be watching the interest rates. As for the next two years and the fallout, remember, stock market goes down the fast as it comes back, as fast as real estate goes down. 00:19:32:17 - 00:19:56:10 Michael T. Fay Really slow and it takes a while for it to come back. So right now we're on the downward slope in a lot of these areas that I think we might add some decent foreclosures or short sales or motivated sellers. What are the key components here that I think we are seeing for the first time in a long time was interest rates for the last call it since the Great Depression. 00:19:57:18 - 00:20:31:17 Michael T. Fay The Great Recession of 2000 ignited. Interest rates were low. So you had you couldn't really go to alternative investment, to the stock, to real estate. Right now, you're seeing banks pay 5%, 6%. Look at the treasuries. There's alternative investments that you can go into and get that call at four and a half to 6% without much benefit. So the interesting part is people maybe say, I've done I want to move into something else so you'll see some other sales happen from that standpoint as well. 00:20:31:17 - 00:20:42:03 Michael T. Fay So I think the alternative, because interest rates have gone up, it creates a different sliding economic opportunity on both sides for sale or buy. 00:20:42:10 - 00:20:59:10 Sam Wilson It really does. It really does. Let's talk about inflation for just a minute. I mean, it's one of those things, you know, what your thoughts around a a diverse portfolio that is inflation protected inside of commercial real estate. What's the what's a play you'd recommend? 00:21:00:16 - 00:21:20:00 Michael T. Fay Well, I think it's anything I mean, a lot of a lot of people were kind of going back, you know, for us, what we look for work with clients, you know, if it's a if it's a retail center, right, and and there's fixed there's fixed, Bob. So that without CPI increases, you know, you pretty much you're getting you're pretty much locked. 00:21:20:00 - 00:21:37:22 Michael T. Fay It it is what it is. So as inflation goes up and you're other things go up, you know, the value of the asset is either going to stay the same or go down. So I think, you know, looking for opportunities where there CPI increases or tenants rolling over, you can have these resets the by the way, that's got on industrial right now. 00:21:38:12 - 00:22:02:19 Michael T. Fay But a lot of these areas where they had all these leases or that industrial because it's become such a hot commodity, you can end up raising the rates that you're getting on your decimal space. And we've seen some increase, you know, increased unbelievable rates. Same thing with multifamily, multifamily, because it rolls every year. You can kind of catch up your rents to what your expense or inflation. 00:22:02:19 - 00:22:17:00 Michael T. Fay So, you know, I think, you know, there are several markets within the country that I've seen that 10 to 25, 27% multifamily rental rate increases over the last couple of years. 00:22:17:14 - 00:22:26:00 Sam Wilson Right. Yeah. It sounds like to summarize, you'd say anything that you can reprice in a shorter time frame than other things have. Maybe be the the. 00:22:26:00 - 00:22:36:20 Michael T. Fay Absolutely, absolutely. No, no. That was a problem with office buildings. Office buildings. They were locked in with certain fixed rates and weren't going anywhere while it was safe. Remember, high risk, high return, low risk, low return. 00:22:37:01 - 00:22:48:09 Sam Wilson Right, right. And it's funny because in in that even those office spaces were locked in. It was almost you thought it was lower risk, but now it looks like it was a higher risk in the end deal there. 00:22:48:09 - 00:23:09:18 Michael T. Fay Well, you know, but but but when you have two black swan events of the pandemic and then the global inflation that we had, which was pressed on by other global logistics and things of that nature, you know, you would have never thought that. I mean, you can look at the different the different graphs of each country and where it stands, where it is. 00:23:10:00 - 00:23:23:13 Michael T. Fay It's just interesting to see. I mean, it was totally a global pandemic, but it's been a global inflationary issue. So those are the two Black Swan events within a two year period, which is really what's at downward pressure. 00:23:23:19 - 00:23:43:06 Sam Wilson Absolutely. Absolutely. This has been great. Michael, thank you for taking the time to come on the show today. Certainly learned a lot from you. I love to get your current kind of state of the market insight.

It's April 30th. This day in 1994, an 18-year-old American named Michael Fay is awaiting his punishment in Singapore for acts of vandalism. That punishment included caning, which caused a media and diplomatic firestorm in the United States. Jody, Niki, and Kellie discuss the details of Faye's crime and punishment — and the way in which the incident revealed American's appetite for corporal punishment. Sign up for our newsletter!

Caning is a form of corporal punishment in Singapore that involves administering blows with a cane, typically on the bare buttocks. It has been described as unimaginably painful. Do you think that caning is an effective deterrent or a form of cruel and inhumane punishment? Michael Fay was an eighteen year old American teenager, sentenced to six strokes of the cane, four months in prison, and a $3500 fine. Why was the teenager so harshly punished? For possessing stolen road signs, stolen Singapore flags, and allegedly vandalizing over sixty cars...

Ostensibly designed to discuss three large news stories in the general vicinity of 1994 - Michael Fay's walloping adventure in Singapore, the epic showdown between Tonya Harding and Nancy Kerrigan at the Lillehammer Olympics, and the violent dissolution of John and Lorena Bobbitt's marriage - this entry in the IHOY catalog spends the most time gushing over the sheer genius of one "Weird Al" Yankovic, whose '94 song "Headline News" forms the basis of this discussion. Dial in as Sarah & Joe talk about their earliest memories of the famed parodist, his classic albums Bad Hair Day and Even Worse, his Christmas songs and polkas, and their personal favorites from his vast repertoire. Sarah's off-handed suggestion later to tag Weird Al on Twitter leads the hosts down the road of other random celebrity interactions they've had online, roping in such disparate notables as Nick News' Linda Ellerbee and former American Idol host Brian Dunkleman! And yes, loyal listeners, "Stuck in a Closet with Vanna White" makes another triumphant appearance on the show! Planned as a straight news episode, transformed into a Weird Al lovefest, intense media scrutiny and songs about lasagna are given equal time in this splashed-across-the-front-page thirty-eighth episode!

We're really only interested in planting chardonnay in high elevations, on Jory soils ... and using Dijon clones, which are early-ripening clones of chardonnay."

There are a few people you meet and interact with who will have such profound impact on your life. Rebecca Martin was for me one of those people. In 2004 she, as the director of the National Geographic Expeditions council decided to give their youngest ever expeditions grant to me for the Cordillera Traverse and this opportunity that was given to me had such a huge impact on my trajectory in life. It opened so many doors and endless possibilities. I was the first Guinea pig young explorer on earth and this opened up this same opportunity to almost a thousand others across the globe all doing such amazing projects in such varied fields including locally Hannah Reyes. And for all of us, Rebecca was our fairy godmother who often does not get the recognition for her contribution to creating so much new knowledge and funding practically every major expedition you have heard of over the last 20 years including for people like Alex Honnold, Jimmy Chin, and Conrad Anker not to mention the amazing mega transect of Africa by Michael Fay and the 14 highest peak quest of Ed Visteurs - many of those expeditions would not be possible without her. Rebecca has been instrumental in my career and the careers of so many scientists, explorers, adventurers and storytellers -many of the discoveries and even national parks over the last 20 years may not have been possible without Rebecca being the silent cheerleader and fairy godmother behind all of them. In 2011 she was named one of the most influential people in adventure by Outside Magazine. I would say that still holds true to this day.

Gum-chewers Unite! Alex Hastie, host of the popular "Ohio vs. The World" podcast joins the guys this week to discuss famous and infamous Ohioans, Michael Fay, vandalism, accidental huffing, elevator urine detection technology, caning, the death penalty and the downside to being an overly clean, crime-free country - or - "why you should avoid vacationing in Singapore if you like gum," the Scopes monkey trial and the early 20th century trend-setting party boy and America's greatest lawyer Clarence Darrow - and how sometimes awesome lawyers can seem very non-lawyerly. Why risk is the price of freedom, liquor law and pairing your podcast with the right beer, Elvis Juice and our favorite Scottish neighbor Brew Dog, fun with history, mis-tweeting, bocce ball and the best Italian restaurants in Ohio, "larping", and sneak peeks at upcoming Ohio v.

Our Christmas Eve sermon from our service on December 24, 2017 given by Pastor Michael Fay.
While I can be very critical of the actions of our current president, in this instance I happen to side with him. Not that I am condoning his childish responses on Twitter concerning the matter; however, I can understand where he is coming from. Truth be told, I would hope that Mr. Trump did not make the effort to free the young men from the Chinese prison just for praise, but out of truly being concerned for their well being as U.S.Citizens. I have traveled outside of the U.S. on multiple occasions throughout the years and I am always mindful to do a little bit of research about the customs and cultures of where I'm about to travel. I do this because the last thing that I would want to happen on my trip is to do something that is considered offensive or against that country's laws. The last I checked, stealing is wrong regardless of where you travel and shoplifting is a form of stealing. I don't care how valuable or valueless the article(s) may be, stealing is wrong and illegal no matter what country you are in. At the end of the day, those boys had absolutely no business whatsoever of even attempting to take anything without paying for it whether they were in the U.S. or abroad. Ironically, I was just in China in July. One would think history would have deterred those young men from even attempting to do anything out of line in a foreign country. Clearly, the names Michael Fay or Otto Warmbier meant nothing to LiAngelo Ball, Jalen Hill and Cody Riley because if they did, I doubt very seriously if they would have committed their act. The fact that we do not know our history, pay attention to, or learn from it is a topic for another blog post so let me not digress. Back to Elder Ball saying "Thank You." In Luke 17:11-19 we read the story of how Jesus heals ten lepers and only one of them came back after he was healed to give thanks. Jesus asked, “Were not all ten cleansed? Where are the other nine? Has no one returned to give praise to God except this foreigner?” Now unlike Trump, Jesus did not go on a rant or throw a Twitter fit; however, he did ask about the other nine. If you were to read the story, you would see that all ten asked to be healed in loud voices and yet only one said thank you when their request was answered in their favor. This is the problem I have with Mr. Ball not saying thank you to the president for whatever role he played in getting the boys out of that Chinese prison and back home. Whether it was a phone call, a text, a tweet or just the relationship that Trump has with the president of China if it played a part in getting those boys home than a thank you was indeed in order. The bottom line is, those boys could have still been sitting in that Chinese prison. In the Michael Fay case then-president, Bill Clinton was able to get the Singaporean government to lower Fay's penalty to four lashes from six; the caning was administered on May 5, 1994. Otto Warmbier passed away shrouded in mystery shortly after his return to the U.S. from North Korea. Think about it, is vandalizing property in Singapore, attempted theft of a poster from a hotel in North Korea, and taking items from three stores in China without paying for them worth the price these individuals had to pay? They all acted abroad as if they were on U.S. soil and did not expect the swift and harsh consequences. Presidents had to step in to get them back, so yes Mr. Ball a thank you was in order and no it ought not to be predicated on flying on Air Force One. Your son, as well as those other two boys, could still be sitting in that prison in China. There's a Chinese expression, “Kill the chicken to scare the monkey.” Other countries do not tolerate or take the posture that we take in the U.S. of being innocent until proven guilty. So the fact that the boys were able to come home is certainly worthy of a thank you. How big of a deal is it to say "Thank You?"

In the Michael Fay case then-president, Bill Clinton was able to get the Singaporean government to lower Fay's penalty to four lashes from six; the caning was administered on May 5, 1994. Otto Warmbier passed away shrouded in mystery shortly after his return to the U.S. from North Korea. Think about it, is vandalizing property in Singapore, attempted theft of a poster from a hotel in North Korea, and taking items from three stores in China without paying for them worth the price these individuals had to pay? They all acted abroad as if they were on U.S. soil and did not expect the swift and harsh consequences. Presidents had to step in to get them back, so yes Mr. Ball a thank you was in order and no it ought not to be predicated on flying on Air Force One. Your son, as well as those other two boys, could still be sitting in that prison in China. There's a Chinese expression, “Kill the chicken to scare the monkey.” Other countries do not tolerate or take the posture that we take in the U.S. of being innocent until proven guilty. So the fact that the boys were able to come home is certainly worthy of a thank you. How big of a deal is it to say "Thank You?"

In this week's CRE Elite, we visit Florida and talk to Michael Fay, Chairman & Founding Partner of Colliers International South Florida office in Miami. Mike has been a commercial broker for over 30 years and has closed over $4 billion (with a B!), in transactions. He specializes in investment sales and has an acute understanding and experience working with lenders and special servicers on REO and note sales. Mike is the definition of a "rainmaker" and during the course of our interview he stressed teamwork and collaboration as the key to his success. He says the lone-wolf broker is a dying breed and his energy, drive and talent was obvious during our talk. I really enjoyed talking with him and hope you enjoy listening.
