Foreclosures are spiking across America and every news outlet is asking the same question: is this 2008 all over again? In this episode, Sam Primm and Lucas peel back the curtain on the actual foreclosure data — state by state — and give you the truth Wall Street and the media aren't telling you.Foreclosure filings are up double digits year over year, and headlines are scaring homeowners and investors into thinking a housing crash is coming. But when you look at the real numbers, a completely different story shows up.
Karli and Alex Klintworth are a powerhouse husband and wife health coaching duo and the co-foudnders of Hi Energy health coaching. An engineer, former collegiate triathlete, and passionate nutrition educator, Alex became interested in metabolic and gut health after overcoming his own struggles with insulin resistance, chronic back pain, and SIBO. Through a combination of functional medicine, a ketogenic lifestyle, and extensive independent research, he restored his health and developed a deep appreciation for the role nutrition plays in preventing and reversing chronic disease. Karli's passion for nutrition was profoundly shaped by her mother's battle with inflammatory breast cancer. Watching her endure the devastating side effects of conventional cancer treatment—and finding little dietary guidance from her medical team—sparked a lifelong commitment to understanding the role of nutrition in health and disease. Motivated by both her mother's experience and her own health transformation, she immersed herself in the science of metabolism, inflammation, and whole-food nutrition. She believes nutrition should play a far greater role alongside conventional medicine and is passionate about helping others understand how dietary choices can support overall health, improve quality of life, and address the root causes of chronic disease. In this episode, Dr. Brian, Karli, and Alex talk about… (00:00) Intro (03:46) How Karli and Alex first became interested in metabolic health and nutrition (05:42) SIBO and gut health (09:10) The gut microbiome and overall health (21:10) How Karli and Alex began their health coaching and meal service businesses (25:48) Beyond macros (30:29) Exercise and nutrition (46:02) Cooking, grocery shopping, and nutrition (01:12:16) Outro For more information, please see the links below.

If you listen to this podcast then you care about people and planet and how we make it through this potential crunch point when all our crises mash together. But what if you knew you were not alone? What if you knew that almost everyone in our culture cares about this, they just don't know what to do about it? They don't have what this week's guest, Dr Liam Kavanagh, calls the 'Victory Stories' to show how we made it through. Liam is a founding Co-Director of the Climate Majority Project, an organisation that has worked since 2022 to extend climate action beyond the vocal minority of activists to the concerned but quiet majority. His social science background informs CMP's theory of change and strategy. He began his career as an applied economist in New York and Tanzania. Motivated by questions about ideology and cognitive dissonance in political economy, he completed a PhD in Cognitive Science at the University of California, San Diego. In 2016, he co-founded Life Itself, a European polycrisis-response network (we spoke to Sylvie Barbier from Life Itself a few weeks ago), and has authored two books and numerous reports. His latest reports: Mobilising Silent Majorities is one of the must-reads of this year. Please do download and read the pdf - at least the executive summary. This is a long, detailed, dynamic look at how many people really do care about the polycrisis. As he says, 'Across society, many people recognise serious risks—climate disruption, inequality, instability—but these concerns often stay private. The report identifies six “silent majorities” whose hidden views could shift what feels politically possible:The climate-concerned majority – Most people see climate change as a serious threat but rarely talk about it in daily life.The climate-concerned business majority – Business leaders see climate risks but hesitate to speak publicly.The reticent scientific majority – Scientists privately worry about worst-case scenarios but communicate cautiously.The decline- and collapse-concerned majority – Many fear overlapping crises, yet these concerns are rarely voiced.The depolarising majority – Citizens who favour cooperation over conflict are often drowned out by louder, polarising voices.The intrinsic-values majority – People prioritise family, community, and wellbeing, but economic pressures often prevent these values from guiding their lives.When concern remains unspoken, it appears weaker than it is. And when people feel alone in their worries, silence becomes the apparently safest choice.But it doesn't have to be like this. What if we were able to speak up in our communities of place, purpose and passion and let other people know they're not alone? That we are, in fact, a huge, huge majority? What if we were able to seed ideas out into the conversations that are happening on- and off-line so that we all acknowledge the system is not fit for purpose and all have good, workable ideas of how to fix it? What if we embodied the 'Victory Stories' of this time and transformed our future? It's all to play for now, and here's someone with the ideas at his fingertips. Enjoy!

Anthropic recently published Agentic Misalignment Summer 2026 The "whistleblowing" scenario has already been examined and found problematic. I started taking a look at the transcripts for some others. As far as I can tell, the objective of each agentic misalignment evaluation was to simulate a corrupted principal (including, in most scenarios, a corrupted Anthropic), and then test to see if Claude (or other models) would still be willing to obey them. The paper's authors then referred to disobedience (when outside of the explicitly carved out channels for refusals) as "agentic misalignment".There's a details box here with the title ""Whistleblowing" scenario summary". The box contents are omitted from this narration. The "Mislabeling" Scenario - Auditor's Transcript The 'Agentic case studies' section of the Mislabeling scenario is interesting because it adds another meta layer: instead of judging Claude on compliance, they are judging the Auditor Claude instance who themselves judges the base-level Claude on compliance. Let's examine a specific case, which I hope is a median representative: the transcript of 'run4' of the Motivated Mislabeling scenario. This involves two instances of Claude, one of whom (Claude Opus 4.6) is auditing the alignment of the other (Claude Opus 4.7). The experiment is [...] ---Outline:(00:59) The "Mislabeling" Scenario - Auditor's Transcript(10:19) Is This Agentic Misalignment?(22:22) What do we actually want from Claude here?

Raymond Lavine is an extended care benefits advisor. He advises and designs long-term care benefits for families and LTC benefits for companies. Raised in the Hollywood Hills, Raymond grew up in a household shaped by global history. The son of immigrants who fled persecution and sought opportunity in the United States, he was introduced to perspectives beyond his immediate surroundings at an early age. Family travel across North America and Europe broadened his worldview, reinforcing the idea that lives, values, and challenges vary widely, an understanding that would later influence both his personal philosophy and professional approach.Following high school, Raymond made a choice that surprised many: enlisting in the U.S. Army. Upon entering airborne infantry service, he encountered environments and individuals far removed from his upbringing. Military life demanded cooperation, adaptability, and accountability, while service in Vietnam exposed him to loss, sacrifice, and the realities of vulnerability. These experiences left a lasting imprint, sharpening his empathy and deepening his appreciation for the burdens others carry.After completing his service, Raymond returned to education with renewed focus. Beginning at community college before transferring to the University of Southern California, he excelled academically, majoring in international relations with a minor in business. While he valued the rigor of his studies, he later reflected on the lack of formal negotiation training, a skill he came to see as essential in business and in navigating everyday human interactions.Lavine's professional path spanned commercial banking, mortgage services, and life insurance, culminating in his specialization in long-term care planning. A personal turning point emerged when caregiving challenges within his family revealed the financial and emotional strain that arises without preparation. Motivated by firsthand observation, he shifted his focus to helping individuals secure extended care solutions before a crisis strikes, preserving dignity, independence, and family stability.Today, Raymond's work centers on guiding people through conversations they often prefer to avoid, emphasizing understanding over assumptions. He advocates planning that protects not only assets but also careers and relationships, particularly as caregiving responsibilities increasingly affect working families. My approach is the belief that listening alone is not enough; it is about understanding.Dr. Kimberley LinertSpeaker, Author, Broadcaster, Mentor, Trainer, Behavioral OptometristEvent Planners- I am available to speak at your event.

You would have seen over the past few days that a bonfire erected in the village of Moygashel made headlines after an effigy on a mosque was placed on it. This follows previous bonfires in Moygashel including effigies of a boat full of refugees, and another with a picture of then-Taoiseach Leo Varadkar. The PSNI have arrested a man, and are treating the incident as a hate-motivated offense.Joining Shane to discuss it further is Jamie Bryson, Editor of the Unionist Voice, who spoke at a rally in Moygashel.

n episode #447 of The Hormone Puzzle Podcast, our guests, Kelly Love and Allison Evans talk about Non-Toxic Living for Fertility. More about Kelly and Allison: Kelly Love is the co-founder of Branch Basics, a wellness and lifestyle brand creating cleaning products that prioritize human health. Raised on the standard American diet and surrounded by conventional household products, Kelly didn't experience the impact of reducing everyday toxins until her early twenties. After making simple changes in her home and daily routine, many of the "normal" issues she had dealt with for years — dry and itchy eyes, painful menstrual cramps, joint and muscle pain, and even body odor — disappeared. Motivated by that transformation, Kelly co-founded Branch Basics to help others create healthier homes and experience the power of pure as well. She lives in Jackson, Mississippi, with her husband and four children, and continues to educate on practical, accessible wellness. Allison Evans is the co-founder of Branch Basics, a wellness and lifestyle brand creating cleaning products that prioritize human health. After experiencing a severe health crisis in college that included chronic pain, PCOS, and motor impairments, Allison found herself on multiple medications with no real answers. A summer spent living with her aunt, Marilee Nelson, in the Texas Hill Country changed everything. By removing toxic chemicals from her environment and focusing on real, whole foods, her symptoms and cysts disappeared, transforming the way she viewed health. She later conceived and gave birth to four children naturally, something she was told would never be possible. Motivated by her journey, Allison co-founded Branch Basics to help others create healthier homes and thrive. She lives in Texas with her family and is passionate about helping others take steps toward lasting wellness. Thank you for listening!

Why does your business suddenly feel different—even though nothing has changed on the surface? More and more entrepreneurs are noticing the same thing. The strategies that once felt exciting now feel heavy. The goals that once fueled them don't carry the same energy. In this episode, Nicole explores why this shift may have far less to do with burnout or broken business models than most people think. Through the lens of Human Design and the approaching 2027 global transition, Nicole shares why so many people are feeling pulled away from hustle, performance, and old definitions of success. She explains how the changing energetic landscape is influencing the way we market, sell, create, and lead—and why trying to force yourself back into old ways of working may only create more resistance. You'll also hear Nicole's perspective on what the future of business looks like, why your brand must become a reflection of who you truly are, and the two powerful questions she believes every entrepreneur should be asking right now. If you've been wondering whether you've lost your motivation—or whether you're being guided toward a completely different way of building your business—this episode will help you see what's happening through an entirely new lens.

If your motivation in perimenopause feels like it's been replaced by a slot machine, you are not losing your discipline. Alisha Carlson breaks down what's actually happening hormonally when motivation stops tracking with anything on your calendar, including why perimenopause creates bigger, less predictable swings than the cycle you grew up with, and what the research says about the link between hormone fluctuation, motivation, and mood.This is the science-backed, no-shame explanation for why some weeks training feels impossible, and a practical plan for building consistency that doesn't depend on motivation showing up on schedule.What You'll LearnHow a regular menstrual cycle works, and why it created a predictable hormonal rhythm in your 20s and 30sWhat actually changes in perimenopause: rising anovulatory cycles, early progesterone decline, and erratic estrogen swings that can spike higher than your normal peak before crashingWhy research shows it's hormone fluctuation, not hormone level, that predicts mood disruption during the menopause transitionThe neurotransmitter link between estrogen and the brain chemistry behind motivation and rewardWhat exercise-motivation research actually shows about hormone phase and perceived effortThree practical moves for building consistency that survives an unpredictable motivation week, without building a new rigid protocol around your cycleThis Episode Is For You If...You used to be able to predict your motivation and now genuinely cannotYou've caught yourself turning a low-motivation week into a referendum on your discipline or characterYou're skeptical of rigid cycle-syncing protocols but still want to understand what's actually happening hormonallyYou're navigating perimenopause and want the mechanism explained without the shame attachedYou want a non-diet, identity-based way to stay consistent that doesn't depend on feeling motivatedIf this episode named something you've been feeling but couldn't explain, that's exactly why this work matters.

Most "healthy" drinks aren't what they claim—and your body feels it long before you realize why. In this episode, Justine Reichman sits down with entrepreneur Bryan Appio, founder of Dry Water, to unpack what really happens when you start paying attention to what's inside your hydration. After losing everything during the pandemic, Bryan hit a breaking point that forced him to rethink his health from the ground up—leading to a product built on transparency, not shortcuts. They dive into the hidden truth behind "natural flavors," why most electrolyte drinks are loaded with sugar or unnecessary salt, and how the wellness industry often prioritizes profit over clarity. But more importantly, this conversation shifts how you think about everyday choices: what you drink, how you fuel your body, and why simplicity might be the most powerful upgrade you can make. This episode will change the way you read labels—and the way you take care of yourself. Key Takeaways: Why "natural flavors" can hide dozens of unknown ingredients The real problem with most electrolyte and hydration drinks How small daily habits impact long-term health Why clean, simple ingredients matter more than marketing claims The mindset shift that turns failure into your next breakthrough If you've ever felt tired without knowing why—or questioned what's really in your food and drinks—this conversation will hit home. Meet Bryan: Bryan Appio is the founder and CEO of Dry Water, a next-generation hydration company committed to clean ingredients, transparency, and everyday wellness. A lifelong entrepreneur, Bryan previously built and exited an early staffing "gig economy" model, before redirecting his focus to health and sustainability after the pandemic exposed his own gaps in nutrition and hydration. Motivated by personal health challenges and a deep frustration with misleading "natural flavor" claims and sugar-laden sports drinks, Bryan spent years reverse-engineering the hydration category. He developed Dry Water as a daily wellness solution built on real fruit, plant-based ingredients, zero sugar, and no artificial additives, designed to support gut, brain, and metabolic health while minimizing reliance on pills and highly processed products. Under his leadership, Dry Water has grown from kitchen experiments to a national brand available in major retailers like Walmart, Walgreens, Target, and Kroger, reaching hundreds of thousands of customers largely through education-driven, word-of-mouth growth rather than heavy ad spend. Bryan's approach centers on regenerative business principles: investing in consumer education, prioritizing clean supply chains even when crops fail or costs rise, and refusing to compromise on non-negotiables around ingredient integrity. A strong advocate for women's sports and youth wellness, Bryan has partnered with League One Volleyball (LOVB) to bring cleaner hydration to thousands of young athletes and professional players, aligning performance with long-term health. Through Dry Water, he is demonstrating that it is possible to scale a profitable, high-growth CPG brand while honoring transparency, ethical sourcing, and the long-term well-being of people and planet.

This week's scriptures:Psalm 69v1-15Matthew 10v16-42No sooner does Jesus call people to humbly serve than he warns them that reality may not match their expectations. Motivated by genuine love, eager to be kind and peace-loving, they should anticipate disappointment—if not outright persecution. While he says little about their impending successes, Jesus is candid about their looming struggles.It reads as both a fair warning and a vital reminder: “I signed up to be faithful, not to guarantee certain results.” Perhaps all who set out to serve—to lay down their lives for the sake of others—would do well to revisit Jesus' honest caution. There will be difficult times. There will be times when our efforts are misunderstood, when the good we hope to do is received not as kindness, but as the embodiment of evil.
Have you ever said: "I just wasn't motivated." "I didn't feel like exercising." "I didn't feel like meal prepping." "I wasn't in the mood." Most of us have. The problem is that if we wait until we feel motivated to make healthy choices, we're going to be waiting a long time. Today I want to share a simple mindset tool called the AVA Method!

One pattern I've noticed time and time again after working with thousands of product brands across lots of different categories, is that while our products might be different or our tools and platforms might change, all of our core business foundations and fundamentals are not changing. And that's exactly why I wanted to share this short clip from the archive, something that I think is worth revisiting because the takeaways still hold true today. Maybe listening will spark an idea or help you take action on a decision that you've been sitting on. Really, the goal here is to help you take your next intentional step in business. That's what I want for you.Enjoy this clip!You can listen to the full episode with Skye Waterson of Unconventional Organisation here: http://prooftoproduct.com/396 Quick Links:Free Wholesale Audio SeriesFree Resources LibraryFree Email Marketing for Product MakersPTP LABSPaper Camp
Doesn't it seem like the hardest resistance shows up precisely when you're trying to do something meaningful for God? In today's episode of the MY Devotional Podcast, Dr. Michael Youssef reassures believers that discouragement, hindrances, and difficulties are not proof you're off track—they're often the pressure that comes with pursuing God's vision. God's purpose for Paul's life was crystal clear: he was Christ's “chosen instrument” to proclaim the Gospel to Gentiles, kings, and Israel (Acts 9:15). But the fulfillment of that vision wasn't immediate. Paul didn't go straight from Damascus to royal courts—years passed before he stood before King Agrippa in Acts 26. In between were beatings, imprisonment, hunger, insults, and relentless hardship (2 Corinthians 11:22–28). What kept Paul moving forward when everything seemed against him? The power of a God-given vision—and the certainty that God equips what He calls. Dr. Youssef reminds you that the same principle applies today: your life has Kingdom purpose. You are God's people, His holy nation, His temple, and the aroma of Christ to a dying world (1 Peter 2:9–10; 1 Corinthians 3:16; 2 Corinthians 2:15). Even if you never stand before kings, God has a vision for your life. When you feel insignificant, remember: you are a child of the King. Prayer: God, help me not to be discouraged when I am faced with obstacles to the vision You have given me. Help me to remember that it is Your vision and that You will give me everything I need to fulfill it. I pray in the name of Jesus. Amen. “Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up” (Galatians 6:9). Learn more in Dr. Michael A.

This week on In A Man's World, Dannon kicks off the show before Lewis Dix and TDP join the conversation, leading to another night of lively debate, humor, and unfiltered opinions. The crew discusses the shocking case of the couple sentenced to 40 years in prison for their involvement in a pandemic relief pyramid scheme, asking whether the punishment fits the crime or if the sentence was excessively harsh. The conversation then shifts to the highly publicized Karmelo Anthony case, exploring whether the incident was an act of self-defense, racially motivated, or something far more complex. The panel also weighs in on allegations that Anthony's parents misused online fundraising money to purchase a home and vehicle, while supporters argue the funds were used to relocate the family for their safety following the case. The fellas also tackle a question that sparks plenty of opinions: If your friend becomes rich or famous, are they obligated to help your career or support you financially?

Despite accounting for nearly half of all new businesses in the U.S., women founders receive only 2% of total venture capital funding. Molly Huyck, Founder and CEO of AeQuitas Invest, realized the dire need for change and has built an innovative solution: a funding platform exclusively for women entrepreneurs.Molly's journey toward launching AeQuitas Invest began at PayPal, where she spent over 20 years building a career informed by innovation and a commitment to creating equal opportunities. Motivated by her global mentorship experience with women entrepreneurs in partnership with the Cherie Blair Foundation, Molly learned of a staggering $5 trillion gap in global GDP caused by inequities in access to capital for women. This eye-opening realization fueled her passion to address the challenge.“When in looking at other crowdfunding platforms, literally, on average, four out of 66 raises that are going on at any one time are women founders,” Molly explained. “It doesn't make sense to me personally, and it doesn't make sense economically.”AeQuitas Invest is more than a simple platform—it's an ecosystem designed to support women founders beyond funding. Molly and her team take a hands-on approach, creating cohorts of founders to foster collaboration and shared learning. The platform also offers access to marketing, legal, and accounting experts, helping women founders navigate challenges at just the right time.“Women operate differently. Women lead differently,” Molly said. “Studies show they typically have a return of $0.78 per dollar invested in them versus men, who return only $0.31 per dollar. That's why I created AeQuitas Invest—to connect women founders with investors and close the gap.”Currently, the platform has several promising campaigns in its pipeline, including Blockchain Homes, which is already live. By offering regulated crowdfunding opportunities, AeQuitas Invest empowers investors to support women-led businesses and drive meaningful change.Molly's story and AeQuitas Invest demonstrate the power of innovation and collective support to address inequities for women entrepreneurs. This episode highlights how platforms like AeQuitas can be game changers for gender equality in entrepreneurship.tl;dr:Women-led businesses receive just 2% of VC funding, but AeQuitas Invest aims to change that.Founder Molly Huyck built AeQuitas Invest to provide a crowdfunding platform just for women founders.The platform creates a community with hands-on support to help women succeed in fundraising.Molly shares how her personal journey and experience inspired her commitment to gender equality.Today's episode highlights how empowering women entrepreneurs creates meaningful impact for investors and society.How to Develop Empowering Others As a SuperpowerMolly's superpower lies in empowering others, especially women, to rise up and succeed. Reflecting on her journey, she explained, “I take a bet on others and encourage them to be their best selves, that I believe in them, that I trust them.” Molly's approach is rooted in creating opportunities for others to thrive, fostering confidence, and supporting people to achieve their full potential.Molly described hiring an executive chef for the women's sports bar she opened. The candidate had only applied for the sous chef position, doubting her ability to lead. Molly recognized her potential and took a chance on her. With Molly's encouragement, the new chef rose to meet the challenge and excelled in her role. This example perfectly illustrates Molly's commitment to empowering others by believing in their abilities and investing in their growth.Tips for Developing this Superpower:Take chances on others by recognizing their potential, even if they doubt themselves.Offer encouragement and affirmation to help people overcome self-doubt and unlock their confidence.Connect with diverse communities and create inclusive environments that support mutual growth.Build a supportive network of peers who can share experiences and provide feedback.By following Molly's example and advice, you can make empowering others a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses.

"If you're not willing to fail, you won't have the emotional capacity to watch your children fail." In this episode, Heather digs into the very uncomfortable reality that many women are overmothering, overnurturing, and overcompensating in ways that steal their children's ability to become motivated and productive adults. This conversation dives into the delicate balance between nurturing and enabling, guiding and rescuing, and the courage it takes to hold your boundaries when every impulse tells you to step in. At its heart, this episode is about alignment, not as a nice idea, but as a daily practice of telling the truth, trusting yourself, and feeding your own soul so you can show up as a whole, inspired adult. Because when you stop overcompensating, overproducing, and overmothering, you create space for your children to develop the resilience, motivation, and independence they're supposed to build for themselves. What to listen for: ☑️ The game of alignment means opening whatever door you're currently resisting ☑️ Navigating the fear that your child won't become a productive member of society ☑️ Why, if you're not holding boundaries, your life often becomes absolute chaos "I guarantee you have been overmothering, overnurturing, and overcompensating to avoid feeling something. And that overproducing is taking away from your children's ability to be motivated." ☑️ How your body does what's needed to help your create balance and alignment ☑️ If you're always rescuing your children, they can't learn to take care of themselves ☑️ When you feel whole, you're not dependent on anyone else to give you value "It takes so much discernment, self-trust, and inner guidance to know when to literally go in and rescue and guide them, versus when you need to back off and hold a boundary." ☑️ Stop doing things from a place of task management rather than soul alignment ☑️ Learning to feed your soul allows you to learn the lessons your children need ☑️ Why we overcompensate when we realize we can't rescue other people "This is the beauty of women. We are so strong, so nurturing. But the kryptonite of that is we can take away from other people gaining independence, and they become too codependent or interdependent." ☑️ Your kids aren't growing up to be lazy; you've just been doing too much for them ☑️ Who are you if your kids are independent enough not to need you as much? ☑️ When you feed your soul, you become a motivated, inspired, alive adult *** For those of you who are ready to stop feeling drained, overextended, and out of alignment… join me inside the Energetic Time Management Accelerator, a focused experience designed to help high-achieving women uncover what's draining them, clarify what truly matters, and create a simple plan that fits their life. We'll pinpoint your biggest time + energy leaks, identify the top areas to focus on for quick momentum, and map out exactly what to let go of so you can reclaim your energy, your time, and your joy.

If you keep waiting to feel motivated before you work out, start the routine, send the email, clean the house, post the content, or follow through on the thing you said you wanted, this episode is for you. In this episode, Allie breaks down why motivation never lasts, why waiting to "feel like it" keeps you stuck in the start-stop cycle, and why everything you want is on the other side of boring consistency. This is not about forcing yourself, ignoring your body, or pushing through burnout. It's about understanding the difference between real rest and avoidance, self-leadership and mood-led living, and why consistency cannot depend on a temporary feeling. You'll learn why motivation is fleeting, why your brain keeps returning to familiar patterns, why boring consistency builds self-trust, and how small, imperfect action creates identity evidence. If you struggle with staying consistent, following through, all-or-nothing thinking, procrastination, self-sabotage, or waiting until you feel ready, this episode will help you stop handing your future to your mood. And if you're ready to stop starting over and become the woman who actually follows through, come to Allie's free live class Tuesday at 11am PT: Stop Starting Over: The 5 Steps to Becoming the Woman Who Follows Through alliecasazza.com/stopstartingover

The Denver fix and flip market 2026 is producing a strange combination. Strong showing activity and soft offer volume. One Arvada property sat through 57 showings in 44 days. The deal that finally came in fell apart when the buyer’s grandmother refused to release the down payment. That’s the market Derek Marlin is navigating right now. Derek Marlin founded Elevation in 2014. The company does fix and flips, wholesaling, fee-based project management, and runs a brokerage team at eXp. He also runs the Elevation Academy and the Broadway Collective, a Denver co-work space that recently hit 100% occupancy. His team runs 3 company flips at a time and operates at roughly 85% off-market acquisition volume. In this conversation, Derek Marlin and Chris break down the Denver fix and flip market 2026 from the ground up. Motivated sellers are still anchored to 2021 valuations. Carrying costs add up fast when deals drag 6 weeks longer than planned. Derek also walks through his 4-offer model. It gives sellers a cash offer, a fix-in option, a fee-based consulting path, or a partnership flip.
