This week, John Casmon breaks down the lessons behind Brandon Turner reportedly losing $15 million of investor capital, and why the headline misses the point. Rather than pile on or use the story as fuel for fear, John makes the case that apartments and syndications are not the problem. The real issue is understanding how to identify and manage risk. In this episode, John walks through the factors that actually sink deals, the questions every investor must ask before investing, and how to mitigate risk on both the active and passive side.   Make sure to download our free guide, 7 Questions Every Passive Investor Should Ask, here.   Key Takeaways Apartments and syndications are not the problem. The skill that protects you is knowing how to identify and manage risk, which is different for every deal The first question every investor must ask is "How can I lose money on this deal?" so you can uncover, mitigate, and get ahead of risk Interest rates were only part of the story. Insurance and tax increases, especially in Texas and Florida, did just as much damage The loan product has to match the business plan. Bridge debt itself was not the core issue You lose money when cash flow can't cover debt service, so underwrite conservatively and balance aggressive financing with lower leverage Don't assume the environment you buy in is the environment you'll sell in. Cap rates moved far more than the old rules of thumb accounted for Use a tough outcome as a lesson to sharpen your own investing philosophy, not as a reason to sit out Topics Why the $15 Million Headline Misses the Point John opens on the commentary around Brandon Turner reportedly losing $15 million of investor capital, and rejects the "I told you so" victory-lap energy as a loser mentality He acknowledges how hard this is for investors, who put money to work to help their families and reach their financial goals Real estate remains a tried and true wealth vehicle, proven over the last 80 to 100 years and second only to the stock market, with apartments offering scale that's hard to find in single family Apartment syndication as we know it is still relatively new, and the last four to five years brought historic low rates and a wave of new supply, creating a lot of moving pieces The Factors You Can't Control You can't control interest rates or supply, and several forces hit at once that few investors could have predicted Interest rates shot up faster and further than ever in the shortest window on record More supply came online in the last two years than in the previous 40 to 45 years The takeaway is not that apartments or syndications failed, but that investors have to understand the fundamentals well enough to identify and navigate risk, which looks different on every deal The First Question Every Investor Must Ask Before any investment, particularly for passive investors, ask "How can I lose money on this deal?" Asking it is how you uncover where the risk lives, how to mitigate it, how to recognize when things go awry, and how to cut bait if you absolutely have to This is one of the core questions in John's guide, 7 Questions You Must Ask Before Investing in Apartments If you skip this question, you leave yourself blind to the very exposure that takes deals down Why the Loan Has to Match the Business Plan Many of these deals were bought at low rates on variable-rate debt, and those loans repriced coming out of 2021 and 2022 A rate cap is one tool to soften that risk, and John's team used one, but caps got more expensive as rates rose and are not a cure-all John's contrarian take is that bridge debt itself was not the primary problem. The loan product simply has to match the business plan A value-add plan needs the option to refinance or exit, which is why bridge terms are attractive: there's no prepayment penalty, unlike fixed debt where a 2% prepay fee on an early sale could cost hundreds of thousands or millions Where the Real Damage Came From The business plan has to account for variable factors like tax increases, insurance increases, and rent growth, some of which investors could anticipate and some they could not Insurance and taxes spiked alongside rates, especially in markets like Texas and Florida, and likely did as much or more damage than interest rates alone Every investment carries risk, even bonds, and investors are always weighing what's likely against what's not This cycle delivered the unlikely, and that combination is what made these deals so difficult to navigate The Two Ways You Lose Money and How to Mitigate You lose money when there isn't enough cash flow to cover debt service, so build reserves and underwrite conservatively on tax reassessments, insurance, and rental income If you take on bridge debt, offset it by being conservative elsewhere, such as limiting leverage to 60% or even 50% loan to value instead of 80% Don't assume the environment you bought in will be the environment you sell in. The old habit of adding ten basis points to the exit cap broke when cap rates moved 100 to 200 basis points John's team favors markets like the Midwest where taxes, insurance, and claims risk are more predictable, and structures deals so the loan, the operations, and the exit all line up Don't Let One Deal Rewrite Your Game Plan Using a tough outcome to scare people away from passive investing is the wrong response, because for many it's the only practical path to real estate income The better move is to educate, learn from what went sideways, and become a better investor Every entrepreneur experiments, fails, adjusts, and comes back stronger, so define your own investing philosophy rather than abandoning the goal The end game for most people is financial freedom and the flexibility to spend time with the people they love, and the right lessons keep you moving toward it

Air New Zealand's CEO says the airline will trim more flights, with a forecast it'll be $390 million in the red this financial year. It's blaming the fuel cost hike lifting spending $240 million more than expected. The airline told NZX it's already reduced overall capacity three to five percent since the Iran war began. Nikhil Ravishankar says cuts may continue even after jet fuel prices ease, with cuts for August to October announced soon. "We either sort of roll over the changes that we've made into July - or we might have to go a bit further, depending on what fuel's doing."

They tell you feeling like crap is just “part of getting older.” That the brain fog, the belly fat, the rock-bottom energy, and the non-existent sex drive is just your “new normal” now that you're 40.

We dive deep into the psychology of belief, the power of storytelling over data, and why your team's resistance to change is a belief problem, not a technology problem. Jessica shares her bold predictions for the future of work, including the rise of the first AI CEO by 2026 and how AI clones will revolutionize leadership. If you're a leader feeling the pressure of the K-shaped economy, political instability, and technological disruption, this episode provides a radical yet practical roadmap to not just survive, but thrive. --Recommended Tools for GrowthOpusClip: #1 AI video clipping and editing tool: https://link.ryanhanley.com/opusRiverside: HD Podcast & Video Software | Free Recording & Editing: https://link.ryanhanley.com/riversideWhisperFlow: Never waste time typing on your keyboard again: https://link.ryanhanley.com/whisperflowCaptionsApp: One app for all your social media video creation: https://link.ryanhanley.com/captionsappGoHighLevel: It's time to take your business workflow to the Next Level: https://link.ryanhanley.com/gohighlevelPerspective.co: The #1 funnel builder for lead generation: https://link.ryanhanley.com/perspective--Episodes You Might Enjoy:From $2 Million Loss to World-Class Entrepreneur: https://lnk.to/delkFrom One Man Shop to $200M in Revenue: https://lnk.to/tommymelloIs Psilocybin the Gateway to Self-Mastery? https://lnk.to/80upZ9 Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

We explore why Gen Z views entrepreneurship as a career insurance policy, why they refuse to make work their entire identity, and why your attempts at control and surveillance are destined to fail. Forget everything you think you know about loyalty and motivation. This conversation provides a new framework for leading in an era of radical transparency and economic uncertainty. You'll learn the difference between "Least Generous" and "Most Generous" interpretations, why vulnerability is a leader's greatest asset, and how to build a culture of co-creation instead of compliance.

Go here: https://www.findingpeak.com Watch on YouTube: https://link.ryanhanley.com/youtube In this episode of Finding Peak, Ryan Hanley sits down with Mita Mallick, USA Today bestselling author of The Devil Emails at Midnight, to expose the leadership crisis driving the Great Resignation. The conversation cuts through the corporate BS to reveal why employees aren't just leaving for better pay—they're fleeing leaders who demand sacrifice while hoarding wealth and refusing to show basic human decency. Connect with Mita Millick The Devil Emails at Midnight: https://amzn.to/3Wjk2bw LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mita-mallick-2b165822/ Website: https://www.mitamallick.com/ Key Insights: The compensation hypocrisy is killing companies. CEOs making $50-70 million are laying off thousands of employees instead of taking reasonable pay cuts. Mallick and Hanley dissect how this wealth gap destroys trust and drives top talent out the door. When leaders won't sacrifice anything but expect employees to sacrifice everything, loyalty evaporates. Bad bosses are manufactured by broken systems. Mallick reveals the three moments that create toxic leaders: environmental stress (tariffs, economic uncertainty), leadership emulation (new managers copying bad behavior because it's all they know), and personal crises (grief, divorce, illness) that leaders try to compartmentalize but can't. The system creates these monsters, then acts surprised when employees quit. "Healthy vulnerability" vs. "toxic vulnerability" is the line between trust and manipulation. Leaders who admit they don't have all the answers build loyalty. Leaders who weaponize their personal problems to justify abusive behavior destroy teams. Mallick explains how to spot the difference and what to do when your boss crosses that line. Flexibility isn't charity—it's competitive advantage. Hanley shares how he built a powerhouse team by hiring talented mothers other companies threw away because they couldn't punch a time card from 8:30 to 4:30. These women outperformed everyone because they were given autonomy and trust. Meanwhile, rigid leaders are bleeding talent and wondering why. The Great Resignation is a leadership referendum. Employees aren't leaving jobs—they're leaving leaders who treat them like disposable resources while enriching themselves. The data is clear: people will tolerate a lot, but they won't tolerate hypocrisy and disrespect forever.

A lie we've been conditioned to believe by a society that rewards external validation above all else. My guest this week is Kendra Dahlstrom, a transformational leadership coach who works with top executives to help them lead with authenticity, imperfection, and truth. Connect with Kendra Dahlstrom Website: https://kendradahlstrom.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kendra.dahlstrom/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@theunworthyleaderpodcast After 25 years in the corporate world, Kendra realized she was "branding the lie, not the truth" by focusing on unworthiness. She now helps high-achievers recognize their patterns of chronic success-seeking and find a deeper sense of fulfillment. In this incredibly vulnerable conversation, Kendra and I go deep on: Why so many high-achievers feel like frauds and imposters. The surprising link between high achievement, dopamine, and addiction. How to process past trauma and use it as a source of strength. The one question Kendra asks herself every day to stay grounded: "Will this bring me closer to peace?" Practical tools for breaking free from the cycle of external validation and leading from the heart. This isn't your typical leadership podcast. We get real about the messy, human side of success. If you're ready to stop hiding, embrace your imperfections, and lead with your whole self, this episode is for you.

Brian breaks down his FOCUS framework—Follow One Course Until Successful—and explains how the same principles that govern the universe can help you harness your scattered energy into laser-focused execution. What You'll Learn: Why 99% of the universe is invisible (and what that teaches us about focus) The FOCUS method used by Nobel Prize winners to achieve breakthrough results How to turn ADHD "chaos" into your secret weapon for seeing opportunities others miss The "Dune" principle: How to see the one path through infinite possibilities Why losing can be the best thing that ever happens to your career Sponsors & Recommendations Stop paying $500/month for 8 different marketing tools.
