He's back! Nima Wedlake, Managing Director at ThomVest Ventures, about the current state of Proptech and the themes he is tracking for 2024. We focused on an essay Nima penned, covering several topics including control point software, AI's impact on construction productivity, and the rise of home services businesses. Nima discusses the challenges and opportunities in scaling tech-enabled service businesses and the potential of AI in the construction industry. The conversation also touches on the impact of COVID-19 on real estate tech investments and the future of venture capital in the space. We also explore the role of real estate agents in a changing market and the impact of technology on the industry (spoiler: uncertainty exists, but so will the agent). More about Nima and Thomvest VenturesNima has published his 2024 proptech themes and would love to discuss them with you. Here is the link to the full report: https://blog.thomvest.com/real-estate-technology-themes-were-tracking-in-2024-124a5280c3ddBelow is a very quick overview of the three key themes that will play a dominant role in 2024 for Nima.“Control point” software businesses in real estate: These crucial systems are core to how businesses operate and are difficult to displace. Three strategies for new entrants to compete in this space include targeting new customer segments, building value around existing control points, and selling complete tasks or processes instead of just software tools.AI's impact on construction productivity: There is growing excitement around startups focused on using AI in various aspects of construction, from pre-development analysis and permitting automation to design cycle shortening and physical robot automation on construction sites.Residential real estate in a post-NAR world: Following the NAR settlement on residential real estate, lower commissions may lead to agents seeking efficiency measures and could pose challenges for existing real estate companies, while also creating opportunities for innovation and competition in the industry.Nima Wedlake is a Managing Director at Thomvest Ventures, focusing on investment opportunities across the real estate & financial technology verticals. He spearheaded Thomvest's investments in Baselane, Blend, Glide (acquired by Compass), Keyway, Maxwell, Mynd, Obie, Pine & Tala. Thomvest Ventures is a San Francisco-based $750M evergreen venture capital fund by Peter Thomson (Thomson Reuters). Follow Nima on TwitterConnect with Nima on LinkedInCheck out Thomvest

Join me in retracing the footsteps of our ancestors, where every path holds tales of exploration and identity. Together, let's uncover how the great migrations of the past resonate in our personal stories today. Podcast Notes: https://ancestralfindings.com/migratory-patterns-and-ancestry  

In this episode, we interview Dr. Maria Coady, the Goodnight Distinguished Professor in Educational Equity from North Carolina State University. Dr. Coady's research examines multilingualism, multiliteracy development, bilingual education, teacher and leader education, and language policies. We discuss the current migratory patterns of immigrants to the United States, including the changing landscape of multilingual learners in rural education. Dr. Coady has noted that rural districts need more resources to address these changes. Moreover, she notes that multilingual learners vary in their needs. Many multilingual learners vary in their use of language based on where they are from. Many of these families have varied experiences and need educational leaders who understand the complexities of needs based on the diverse cultures and experiences of these families. We discuss how funding has changed and impacted these rural communities. Dr. Coady has suggested that there needs to be greater professional development for teachers and administrators around multilingual education in rural education. In her work, she worked with teachers to educate beyond online education, including weekend workshops and site visits to the industry where these families work. Dr. Coady noted that, as a case study, teachers implemented community teaching. They adapted their curriculum to meet the complex needs of these families, like having students start their work at school to accommodate the completing time needs of kids helping their families. Schools also assigned experienced teachers as part of their curricular plan and included bilingual teachers in the classroom. As a result, 62% in English language arts and 85% in Mathematics on state standardized test scores. This provided a community classroom learning model. We have noted her research in the podcast and have attached links below. The first National Conference on Rural English Learner Education and Research (CREER, which means "to believe" in Spanish).

Mike Shaw recently moved to Bali after eleven years in Beijing. So far, it has been a hard move. On this week's episode, he chats with Katy about why he decided to leave an adopted city he loves so much, and what he's discovered about himself in the process. He also talks about getting a clear “call” to move abroad, and how when he first arrived in China, everything seemed to just fall in to place, and it quickly became clear that he was exactly where he was supposed to be—synchronicity, perhaps? Flash forward to Bali, and although he loves it there too, he's not having the same experience this time around. Lastly, remarks upon the differences between digital nomads and settled expats, as well as what he considers to be the false distinctions made between expats and migrants. Check out Mike's podcast Migratory Patterns and listen to his recent episode in which he interviews Katy.

Welcome to Season 3 of Migratory Patterns! After dozens of conversations across 2 seasons I'm more passionate than ever about exploring the lives of international migrants. What drives us to move away from home? What makes us stay overseas? And how does it change us? As an expat myself, I'm exploring these ideas within my own life, and I'm thrilled to be able to share my conversations about them with a wide variety of people who are living outside of their places of origin. From two Sudanese-American sisters who shared a parallel bi-cultural upbringing, to a Chinese woman who followed her husband to New York City, to an Argentinian-Israeli in Boston who is breaking new ground in the field of mental health for migrant families, this season features the most diverse group of guests yet. I think that we raise more questions than answers, but they're questions that need asking, and I can't wait to share them with you!   Get in touch with comments, suggestions or interview recommendations:   Twitter: @zax2000 eMail: mike.shaw@migrationmedia.net   Check out Migration Media's Twitter feed, @MigrationMedia_, for more information about all of our shows and to join in the conversation online!   Please take a moment to "Like" us and leave a review on Apple Podcasts, Podbean or wherever you get your podcasts... and subscribe!

Season 2 of Migratory Patterns kicks off with a twist: On a trip back to my hometown of Boston in December for my BFF's wedding, she took the reins of the show when we sat down to talk about what life overseas is like for me. I've known Virginia Johnson since she started college, and we've been close friends for 20+ years (my wife calls her my "sister-friend," which we both love). In our discussion, we explore how I feel about my own #MigrationStory through the questions of a loved one who has been "left behind." What was it like to make the move? What does it feel like when you come back for a visit? And what can't you talk about because you don't know how to? It was a much more challenging conversation than I thought it would be.   Get in touch with comments, suggestions or interview recommendations:   Twitter: @zax2000 eMail: mike.shaw@migrationmedia.net   Check out all of the shows in the Migration Media network on the web: www.migrationmedia.net   Please take a moment to "Like" us and leave a review on Apple Podcasts, Podbean or wherever you get your podcasts... and subscribe!

To wrap us Season 1 of Migratory Patterns we end where we began: by welcoming my amazing wife & partner, Alisa (Margaret!) Rutherford-Fortunati, onto the show. A lot has changed since we recorded what was supposed to be a test interview in early April. Now, one move across town, a Masters degree, and 19 episodes later, we sit down to... well, I don't know, really. Alisa surprised me with the topic, which was supposed to be a rap session about which of our memories anchor us to our individual identities, and what sensory experiences go along with them. As we quickly discovered, my brain doesn't hang onto experiences the same way that hers does, and the resulting conversation that we have about this clash causes us to reflect on what makes us feel safe and "at home," and how we're able to blend our lives together while each processing the migration experience in our own way.   Get in touch with comments, suggestions or interview recommendations:   Twitter: @zax2000 eMail: migratorypatterns@migrationmedia.net    Check out all of the shows in the Migration Media network on the web: www.migrationmedia.net   Please take a moment to "Like" us and leave a review on iTunes... and subscribe!

We kick off the Migratory Patterns podcast with the most important expat in my life: my amazing wife, Alisa Rutherford-Fortunati! Far from an act of nepotism, I used this interview to have a long-overdue deep dive into what motivated her to leave home, drive across the US alone, move to New Zealand and eventually end up in Beijing... where she married me! Alisa's story is awesome and she spins a great yarn. So sit back and enjoy her tale of searching for a place to call home; its a journey that many international migrants are on.   Hear all f the details about how I began my own journey to the #ExpatLife, as well as the full story of how Alisa and I met on Episode #29 of the Big Fish In the Middle Kingdom podcast: http://bigfishmiddlekingdom.libsyn.com/029-from-boston-to-beijing-mike-shaw   Get in touch with comments, suggestions or interview recommendations: Twitter: @MigrationMedia_eMail: MigratoryPatterns@migrationmedia.net  Check out all of the shows in the Migration Media network on the web: www.migrationmedia.net    Please take a moment to "Like" us and leave a review on iTunes... and subscribe!
