POPULARITY
https://wels2.blob.core.windows.net/daily-devotions/20260717dev.mp3 Listen to Devotion Then he told them many things in parables, saying: “A farmer went out to sow his seed. . . Still other seed fell on good soil, where it produced a crop—a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown. . . But the seed falling on good soil refers to someone who hears the word and understands it. This is the one who produces a crop, yielding a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown.” Matthew 13:3,8,23 One Seed Multiplies The farmers where I live recently planted their corn crops for the year. At the time of writing this devotion, those corn kernels have sprouted and are about six inches tall. They don’t look like much. But by late summer, those little plants will stand taller than the farmer who planted them. From one kernel of corn, one stalk grows. On that stalk, an ear of corn forms. And on that ear, there may be hundreds of kernels. One seed can produce far more than itself. That is the picture Jesus gives us when he describes the seed that falls on good soil. It produces a crop that is one hundred, sixty, or thirty times what was sown. The seed is God’s Word. When God plants his Word in the heart, he produces what we could never grow on our own. First, God produces faith in Jesus. Through the gospel, the good news of what Jesus has done, God teaches us to trust that Jesus died for our sins, rose from the dead, and gives us forgiveness and life. But the Word doesn’t stop there. Where God gives faith, he also grows fruit. Love where there was selfishness. Joy where there was despair. Peace where there was anxiety. Patience where there was frustration. Kindness, goodness, gentleness, and self-control where sin had made the heart hard and tangled. And then the fruit multiplies. A person comforted by the Word speaks comfort to someone else. A forgiven sinner tells another sinner about forgiveness. A parent teaches a child. A friend shares a promise. A congregation supports a mission. The same seed that took root in one heart is scattered into another. One seed produces much fruit. That's what God's Word does. Prayer: Lord Jesus, plant your Word deeply in my heart. Grow faith and good fruit in me and use me to share your Word with others. Amen. Daily Devotions is brought to you by WELS.

"Diligent hands will rule, but laziness ends in forced labor." Proverbs 12:24 In the grand narrative of faith, the Parable of the Talents in Matthew 25:14-30 serves as a profound reminder of the intricate relationship between faith and diligence. Here, we witness a master entrusting his servants with different amounts of gold, each gift symbolizing opportunities bestowed upon us. "Faith sows; diligence multiplies." This truth echoes as a vibrant call to action — an assurance that our efforts, fueled by faith, can lead to divine multiplication. Proverbs 12:24 further enlightens us that “The hand of the diligent will rule.” When we commit to our tasks with tenacity and passion, we mirror the faithfulness of the servants who invested wisely in their master's resources. It is our diligence — our unwavering stewardship — that attracts increase, transforming our simple offerings into a harvest of blessings. Ecclesiastes 9:10 says, "Whatever you find to do with your hands, do it with all your might, for in Sheol, where you are going, there is no work or planning or knowledge or wisdom." As we endeavor to "work our wisdom," let us not shy away from the diligent labor that our faith demands. We are not merely passive recipients of God's gifts but active participants in a divine orchestration. Each small act of diligence, every moment spent nurturing our talents, brings us closer to God's plan. Reflecting on the journey of faith ignites an urgency within our souls — a burning desire to be faithful, fruitful, and fearless. God beckons us to utilize our gifts to their fullest potential. Just as the faithful servants who multiplied their talents, we too can amplify our faith through unwavering diligence. Amen. Colossians 3:23 says, "Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters." Amen. Prayer for the Day!Heavenly Father, I thank You for the gifts and opportunities You've bestowed upon me. Lord, make me faithful in my duties, fruitful in my endeavors, and fearless in my journey. Help me to take bold steps of action guided by Your wisdom, ever diligent in my stewardship. May my labor bring glory to Your name and multiply blessings for Your Kingdom. In Jesus' name, I pray, Amen. https://maglife.org

Episode Summary What if the answer to your breakthrough isn't what you've lost—but what you've overlooked? In this powerful teaching from 2 Kings 4, Dr. Chonta Haynes explores the story of the widow who believed she had nothing left, only to discover that God could multiply the very thing she nearly dismissed. If you're navigating divorce, grief, career transitions, financial struggles, or unexpected loss, this episode will help you shift your perspective from scarcity to stewardship and discover how God uses what remains to create your next chapter. You'll learn why God starts by asking "What do you have?" instead of focusing on what's missing, how to expand your expectations, and why your greatest breakthrough may already be in your hands. Key Takeaways Why focusing on loss keeps you stuck The hidden danger of taking the wrong inventory How God uses ordinary things for extraordinary results The real miracle in the Widow's Oil story Three principles for moving from survival to abundance Why expectation creates capacity The importance of private healing before public testimony How community plays a role in your next season Detailed Timestamps 00:00 The question that reveals your miracle 01:11 Recap of the transformation series 03:36 The dangerous moment after loss 05:43 The difference between the enemy's inventory and God's inventory 07:09 How God uses painful seasons for purpose 08:42 God wastes nothing in your life 10:25 The widow asked for survival, God planned abundance 11:03 Walking through 2 Kings 4 13:00 The God question: What do you have? 14:23 The real miracle wasn't the oil 16:01 From provision to payoff to surplus 18:00 Principle #1: Answer the God question honestly 20:15 Principle #2: Borrow boldly and expect more 23:41 Principle #3: Close the door and do the work privately 27:05 Three assignments for this week 29:11 Series recap and next week's lesson on community Join the CROWNed by Design Collective https://chontahaynes.com/collective Get Divinely Connected: Sister 2 Sister https://chontahaynes.com/sister Connect with Dr. Chonta Haynes Book a call https://chontahaynes.com/destiny YouTube: https://youtube.com/@ChontaHaynes Instagram: https://Instagram.com/ctahaynes LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/chonta-haynes Support the Mission Heart 2 Heart Truth Foundation Donate: https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=UZG5B9KX59U4S
Jesus looked at the crowds and saw people who were weary, burdened, and longing for hope. Rather than carrying the work alone, he sent ordinary people to share God's compassion with the world.Drawing on the story of Koinonia Farm and the witness of Clarence Jordan, this sermon explores what happens when Christians take Jesus' call seriously—living as neighbors, serving those in need, and trusting that God is already at work bringing healing and hope. The Kingdom of God often begins in small acts of faithfulness that grow into something far larger than we can imagine.
The expansion of power and infrastructure to support the energy transition is unfolding against a complex backdrop. Policy uncertainty, geopolitical tension, and shifting market forces are colliding with record investment and a rapidly evolving mix of technologies. Ralph Ibendahl, Global Head of Energy Transition and Co-head of Power Utilities for Europe, assesses the challenges and opportunities with expert colleagues from the U.S., Canada, and Australia.Key Points• Increasing global power demand is leading to growth across all power types and grids.• Policymakers need to balance affordability concerns with growth opportunities.• Recent deals include financing for a major nuclear project in Canada, and build-out of Germany's grid.• Companies are drawing on a full mix of funding types, including infrastructure equity, private credit, and structured capital.• Many companies are turning to the public markets, where valuations are stronger.• RBC Capital Markets is guiding clients through this volatile market.
Daily Scripture Readings and Reflection: Trusting God enables us to be generous even when we feel we have little to offer. Faith is not measured by how much we possess, but by our willingness to place what we have into God's hands. In today's reflection, Frank Pavone explores how God accomplishes extraordinary things through ordinary acts of trust. Whether in our personal lives, our service to others, or our commitment to defending human life, God multiplies what we surrender to Him. Every pro-life effort, prayer, sacrifice, and act of love becomes powerful when entrusted to the Lord.
The Bread and the Boy What if the thing you've been dismissing as too small is exactly what Jesus wants to use? In Episode 158 of 2 Minute Disciple, we meditate on John 6:1–13 and John's unique account of the feeding of the five thousand. While the miracle itself is familiar, John highlights a detail the other Gospel writers leave out: the five loaves and two fish belonged to a young boy. A child in the crowd becomes part of one of the greatest miracles Jesus ever performed. Andrew notices the boy and brings him to Jesus, but then immediately questions the value of the offering: “What good is that with this huge crowd?” His words reveal a struggle many of us know well. We bring what we have to God, but then we apologize for it. We assume our resources, talents, time, influence, or efforts are too small to matter. Yet Jesus never comments on the size of the gift. He simply takes it, gives thanks, and begins to distribute it. The miracle follows. This passage reminds us that Jesus does not ask us to determine whether our offering is enough. He asks us to place it in His hands. In this episode, you'll discover: • Why the boy's simple offering still speaks to us today • How self-doubt often disguises itself as realism • The danger of disqualifying our gifts before God can use them • What Jesus teaches us about gratitude, trust, and generosity • A practical habit for giving without qualification Scripture

Where does real joy come from? Not from comfort, not from isolation — but from the people God places around you. In this message from Philippians 1:1-11, Pastor Riley opens the summer series through Philippians by tackling one of the most honest questions we face: why do the people we love also drain us? Drawing from Paul's letter written from a Roman prison cell, we discover that lasting joy isn't circumstantial — it's relational. When we pray for people, partner together in purpose, and invest in each other's growth, joy doesn't just survive — it multiplies. As Paul wrote to the church at Philippi, "Jesus did not save you to isolate you. He saved you into a family, into a mission, into a gospel partnership." Stop spectating. Start participating. Real joy is waiting on the other side.
Muhammad Faris, author of “The Productive Muslim” and “The Baraka Effect”, returns to the Ansari Podcast at one of the most chaotic moments in modern history. Iran on the brink. Gaza still burning. AI wiping out entire industries overnight. Thousands of tech workers just got pink-slipped. A generation of college graduates can't find a single job. So what do you do when the whole system collapses around you? Is this punishment or a gift in disguise? Can you build Baraka when everything is on fire? Is the 9-to-5 corporate dream already dead?

What does it really mean to put Christ above all, including our finances? In Week 3 of Above All, Pastor John S. Dickerson teaches from Matthew 13:44 and 2 Corinthians 9 to show how Jesus changes the way we see money, generosity, security, and treasure. The kingdom of heaven is worth more than anything we own, and when Christ becomes our greatest treasure, our finances begin to reflect a deeper trust in God. This message explores what Scripture says about cheerful giving, sowing generously, trusting God to provide, and living with open hands. Generosity is not about pressure, guilt, or obligation. It is about joyfully responding to the God who supplies what we need and invites us to be part of His work. Join us as we learn how to honor God with our money, trust Him with what we have, and put Christ first in every area of life. #AboveAll #ConnectionPointe #JohnDickerson #ChristianSermon #BiblicalGenerosity #FaithAndFinances NEXT STEPSHave you made a decision to follow Jesus and now wondering what your next step is?

Carson and Michael sit down with Chris Moix, a co-laborer in the Brown to Green Disciple Making Network, and Derek Altom of D6 Family Ministries, a ministry focused on discipleship in both the church and the home.In this episode, they dive into the importance of making disciples who make disciples and what intentional disciple-making really looks like.

What if the dysfunction haunting your family doesn't have to define your future? Cain's explosive anger toward Abel's accepted sacrifice mirrors the unaddressed emotions simmering in many homes today—until one brother killed another in a field. Pastor Blake reveals how what Adam and Eve left unresolved in Genesis 3 multiplied into generational tragedy in Genesis 4, showing us the devastating cost of ignoring dysfunction. But where Cain asked "Am I my brother's keeper?" and answered with murder, Jesus answered the same question with his life, proving that cycles can be broken. Don't let another day pass—watch now and discover the five practical steps to defeat dysfunction before it defeats your family.
BY FAITH - God Multiplies & Devil Divides
www.longviewbaptistchurch.org 2 Kings 4:42-44 April 22, 2026 1. God uses what we have been given; not what is missing. 2. God asks what often defies human logic. 3. God does the extraordinary with the ordinary.
As the famine continues into the third year and beyond, even the residents of Egypt begin to run out of the food that they had stored for themselves. Through a series of stages, Joseph receives their livestock, their land, and their service into the possession of Pharaoh so that he can provide food for Egypt and keep the nation from death. Even as Egypt suffers during the famine, the family of Israel multiplies in Goshen. After living in Egypt seventeen years, Jacob prepares for his death by making Joseph swear to bury him in the same tomb as his fathers. Rev. David Vandercook, pastor at Bethlehem Evangelical Lutheran Church in Crawford, NE and Redeemer Evangelical Lutheran Church in Harrison, NE, joins host Rev. Timothy Appel to study Genesis 47:13-31. To learn more about Bethlehem and Redeemer Lutheran Churches, visit belccrawford.org and relcharrison.org. “In the Beginning” is a series on Sharper Iron that studies Genesis. The first book of Moses sets the stage for God's entire story of salvation. As we learn the beginning of the story, God prepares us to receive the fulfillment of the story: Jesus Christ, the Offspring of the woman who has crushed our enemy's head. Sharper Iron, hosted by Rev. Timothy Appel, looks at the text of Holy Scripture both in its broad context and its narrow detail, all for the sake of proclaiming Christ crucified and risen for sinners. Two pastors engage with God's Word to sharpen not only their own faith and knowledge, but the faith and knowledge of all who listen. Submit comments or questions to: listener@kfuo.org
In this episode of The 1000 Hours Outside Podcast with host Ginny Yurich, Jeff Dillon and Ty Dannenbring talk about what happens when you stop waiting for community and just start right where you live. It doesn't need to be big, impressive things. Pancakes in the driveway or popsicles from a cooler can go a long way in helping establish and build close relationships. Sitting out front instead of disappearing into the backyard works, too. They talk about how small shifts turn into real relationships, the kind people are missing more than we realize.

Smart Agency Masterclass with Jason Swenk: Podcast for Digital Marketing Agencies
Would you like access to our advanced agency training for FREE? https://www.agencymastery360.com/training What actually breaks an agency first, growth or the founder's inability to evolve with it? And at what point does hiring more people stop creating leverage… and start creating chaos? Today's featured guest dives into why he decided to close his first business, which he had grown to 22 employees, and start again solo. He needed to get away from the chaos of managing a large team, but what is the crucial mistake he can avoid if he ever wants to scale an agency team again? Beneath the tactics, it becomes clear that the role of a founder must grow if they want to build a business that doesn't collapse without them. Chris Seminatori is the founder of Get Geofencing, an advanced digital marketing technique that helps small and large-scale enterprises meet their sales target effectively and efficiently. Chris shared his journey from scaling a 20+ person operation in Beverly Hills to intentionally stepping away from team-heavy growth after experiencing the hidden cost: constant management chaos. He talks about the evolution of advertising, from geofencing to connected TV, and how emerging technologies like AI are reshaping both service delivery and agency efficiency.

The Trap: Hiring Only to Manage Chaos Chris's first business followed a familiar trajectory: start small, gain traction, hire quickly, and scale to over 20 employees. On paper, it looked like success, but it quickly became unsustainable. Each hire introduced new variables—different expectations, skill levels, and problems—until Chris found himself spending his days putting out fires instead of building the business. This is the inflection point many founders hit but don't anticipate. Growth creates complexity, and without structure, that complexity compounds. Instead of gaining leverage, Chris became the central node for every decision, issue, and escalation. The deeper issue wasn't the team itself. It was the absence of systems, clarity, and leadership infrastructure. Without those, hiring just amplifies chaos. Chris ultimately shut the business down, not because it lacked demand, but because it lacked structure. Why Most Founders Break When They Try to "Scale" Like many founders, Chris operated intuitively and ended up hiring before systemization. The "system" lived in his head, from how to deliver, solve problems, and serve clients. When he brought others in, they lacked the context and frameworks to operate independently. This created a loop: the team needed constant input, which pulled Chris deeper into operations, which prevented him from building the very systems that would free him. As a result, more hires led to more dependency, not less. Founders often misdiagnose the problem as "needing better people," when the real constraint is a lack of documented processes and clear direction. Without those, even great hires require heavy management. Scaling isn't about adding people. It's about reducing decision-making friction through structure. Without that, every new hire increases the founder's workload. The Alternative Model: Control vs. Dependency After shutting down his first agency, Chris rebuilt with a completely different model. This time it was lean, contractor-based, and highly controlled. This allowed him to maintain quality and ensure clients received the level of service he expected. The upside is clear: consistency, control, and alignment with his vision. There's no dilution of standards, no miscommunication layers, and no dependency on internal managers. For a founder who values craftsmanship and direct client impact, this model works. But the trade-off is equally clear. The business is entirely dependent on him. If Chris steps away, everything stops. Growth is capped by his capacity, and the business cannot function independently. This is the other side of the spectrum: instead of chaos from too many people, it's constraint from too much centralization. Both models reveal the same underlying truth: the founder's role has not evolved. The System Gap: What the Navy Got Right Looking back, Chris wishes he had implemented some of his Navy experience into his management. For instance, the military operates on clear objectives, defined processes, and structured decision-making. In that environment, the objective is explicit. Everyone understands the goal, the constraints, and their role in achieving it. Teams are encouraged to think and propose solutions, but within a defined framework. That balance creates both autonomy and alignment. Chris recognizes that he failed to bring this structure into his agency. Without clear objectives and documented processes, his team couldn't operate independently. Every deviation required his intervention. This highlights a critical shift: leadership is not about doing the work or even managing people, it's about designing systems that enable others to execute without constant oversight. The Future of Advertising: Precision, Data, and AI Chris also shares how his current agency is evolving alongside major shifts in advertising. Geofencing allows businesses to target users based on physical location, creating highly specific audience segments. Combined with connected TV (CTV), this enables precise ad delivery across devices, including household televisions. Traditional mass advertising is being replaced by targeted, data-driven distribution. Agencies that understand how to leverage this can deliver stronger results with lower spend, increasing their value to clients. Also layered on top of this is AI, which Chris used across the entire workflow, from creative development to campaign strategy. What once took hours or days can now be executed in minutes, often with better output. But while these tools increase efficiency, they don't solve the core structural problem. AI can enhance execution, but it doesn't replace the need for systems, positioning, or leadership evolution. The Real Constraint: Founder Dependency Across both versions of Chris's business, the 22-person team and the lean solo model, the same constraint appears: the business relies entirely on the founder. Whether that dependency comes from poor structure or intentional control, the outcome is the same: the business cannot grow or operate without the founder. This is the core challenge most agency owners face. It's not hiring, lead generation, or even service delivery. It's the inability to transition from operator to architect. Until that shift happens, every model, large team or solo, remains limited. Do You Want to Transform Your Agency from a Liability to an Asset? Looking to dig deeper into your agency's potential?

In this episode, Alex Dorr explores a powerful and often overlooked leadership question: does drama have an even bigger impact than we think? Building on Reality-Based Leadership's well-known 3X drama multiplier, Alex breaks down how drama doesn't just affect individual performance—it compounds across teams, cultures, and especially leadership levels. He introduces a simple but revealing equation for understanding the total value someone brings to a team: current performance + future potential – drama quotient. Through real-world examples, Alex highlights the danger of the "toxic high performer" and why technical skill alone isn't enough to define value. The conversation takes a deeper turn as he challenges leaders to consider how their own behavior—especially at higher levels—can amplify drama far beyond a 3X effect. Ultimately, this episode is a call to greater awareness: how leaders show up, respond, and communicate has a ripple effect that shapes the entire organization.

All right, so today's episode, I'm hanging out with Ryan Cadwell, managing partner at Resolute RDM. And we're gonna dive deep into how property managers can stop operating reactively and start thinking like true asset managers. So Ryan, welcome to the show. Ryan Cadwell, CPM (00:57) Thanks Jason for having us, we're glad to be here. Jason Hull (01:00) Awesome. So Ryan's going to break down. This is our notes, right? So Ryan's going to break down the critical difference between market value and investment value and why understanding that gap is the key to building long term wealth. And he's going to share why so many investors overpay, how to structure smarter deals that actually increase returns and the leadership habits that drive sustainable business growth. All right. Cool. So let's get into that. So, Ryan, I'd love people to get a little bit of background. on you, how you got into entrepreneurism and how you got into developing this business and maybe how this connects to property management and then we'll get into everything. Ryan Cadwell, CPM (01:40) Sure, background is we've been in the game for 18 years. ⁓ Wife and I started it and we started the overall ⁓ idea of it in 08. ⁓ Actually it was 06 when we were kicking it around and perfect time to get into all this, 08 right during the financial crisis. ⁓ Third generation entrepreneur, ⁓ both my dad and my grandfather on his side. were entrepreneurs. that's, mean, that's how it got drawn into that world. Originally was going to be just an investor. ⁓ but my dad had apartments with another business that he ran and I, I grew up around it. ⁓ I was cutting grass and I was around tenants, ⁓ that whole time. when, we were in the investment world and wanting to grow that, you know, in the ⁓ eight through Jason Hull (02:09) Yeah. Ryan Cadwell, CPM (02:36) 2012 market, I started looking for property managers. did some interviews, ultimately. mean, property management has come a long way since then. I know it's been a thing for a while, 30 or 40 years, but I think in the SFR space, it was kind of the Wild West for a while, at least in our market it was. ⁓ And we had done some... ⁓ Jason Hull (03:00) Yeah, it still might be, yeah, in most markets. Ryan Cadwell, CPM (03:06) And so when we had done some interviews with some property managers, turned out, I think, like, we were like, why don't we just build it? Like, we have enough experience. I grew up doing it. So that's what drew us into the property management world. And then it gradually grew, turned into a few hundred doors. And then we fluctuate. We fluctuate with market times. We're a boutique firm, and we really focus on adding investor value ⁓ and then we're adding additional components with ⁓ understanding market trends, understanding what overpayment is ⁓ and trying to help investors get ahead of that. we're not always helping investors that are in a reactive position try to. Weighed out time so that they're, know, the amount they paid for it can then finally start cash flowing in those kinds of positions. We try to come at it with a, with an eyes wide open, you know, if you buy it here, you're in negative leverage and what that means and how that's going to translate as far as cash flows. I mean, some investment perspectives, that's what they want. They don't necessarily mind the time. ⁓ If they've got cash flow from other things, that might be how they're going to get in. But, Yeah, that's how we got to where we are in the entrepreneurial world and then in owning and operating a real estate services firm. Jason Hull (04:38) Yeah, and you said we, meaning. Ryan Cadwell, CPM (04:41) We so I mean, I treat anything we do well is it's a team. It's our four brokers. It's our two managers. It's our, you know, contractors. It's all the guys that have helped us get and it's even some of my other partners on development deals. So there's always a we piece. I'd be remiss if I stood up here and acted like, you know, this was me. Yeah. Jason Hull (05:06) It's all Ryan, yeah. So, but this started as like kind of you're in the family business of entrepreneurism, it sounds like, so. Ryan Cadwell, CPM (05:14) Yeah, and we could talk about that too, how to work with your family. How to work with your family and how to get ahead of that too ⁓ so that you don't damage the relationships and those kinds of things. Jason Hull (05:18) Yeah, that could be a challenge. Cool. let's chat about this because property managers, they are a lot of times reactive. They're just reacting to everything. They feel like they're not going to react to everything that every tenant calls them, every owner calls them. They're just managing, putting out fires all the time. how do we start getting to think like true asset managers and get them out of this? Ryan Cadwell, CPM (05:38) Mm-hmm. It's a reactive business. I think the goal is to be an asset manager because at that point you're planning decisions ahead of time. Property management is always going to have a reactive piece to it. You're always going to have emergencies. You're always going to have things that need to be done day of. The real answer to that is a lot of those things don't need to be reactive. They could have been planned, proper expectations could have been set. ⁓ Having conversations like the way you onboard, the way you train, you educate and how you communicate in the time, know, the times that they're gonna receive statements or anything you get on a repeat basis, it just needs to be kind of be walked through. Now, if you haven't started your clients out in that, I mean, we're. We've learned that the hard way we've had to kind of modify some of some of the things when we onboard. So we've got, you know, we have clients that, that were raised in our old ways that we've had to kind of push out educational pieces, marketing pieces that are here's how we operate. Here's what we do and, send out reminders. Hey, you know, this is when stuff's happening. So to get proactive, you've got to start looking at all the things that you do, all the things that. Jason Hull (07:11) Yeah. Ryan Cadwell, CPM (07:21) they need and then start educating them ahead of time. And you educate them ahead of time, knowing that they're not going to read everything. They're not going to pay attention. ⁓ And then you just have a gentle reminder. the, and you know, our, ops staff is way better at this even than I am. I, I was way more reactive and figuring it out on the fly and Jason Hull (07:33) Yeah, people generally don't. Ryan Cadwell, CPM (07:48) And they were always like, there's no reason this is this stressful. How do we get ahead of this? How do we start educating? ⁓ Your statements will come out on this day. Your payments come out on this day. ⁓ Here's the way that our system works. If you've got an emergency, here's what to expect. and by the way, here's what qualifies as an emergency. That's another thing too. ⁓ But no matter what, it's still a people business. Jason Hull (08:11) Mm. Ryan Cadwell, CPM (08:16) It's still, you're still going to have people that aren't going to necessarily follow all of your patterns. And sometimes, sometimes you got to decide whether or not that means they stay as a client or, you know, you work on that relationship. See if you can't kind of get them in line. Other times you're going to part ways with that client just because it, it's going to be better for both of you to do that. Jason Hull (08:40) Yeah, so some of the things I'm hearing is like, you know, there's things that could have been planned. having good planning, setting expectations, having good onboarding, defining what emergencies are, setting boundaries. Right. And if they're not willing to play ball, then firing some clients for sure. Cool. So tell me about that. What's the difference between market value and investment value? For those listening, I'm doing air quotes. So. Ryan Cadwell, CPM (08:52) Go. Market value and investment value, think is the difference in those two terms is where money is made and lost every single time. The buyer wants to buy on investment value and then they want to sell on market value. That gap is truly where a lot of money can be made. Truly, Jason Hull (09:16) Okay. Ryan Cadwell, CPM (09:34) Investment value is different for every investor. have to know what your opportunity cost is. If you didn't put your money into here, where else, how much more can you make? And then evaluate whether or not this deal works for your portfolio. Everybody's money is different. Everybody's opportunities are different. So if you don't know those numbers, you typically just default to market value because Jason Hull (10:02) Hmm. Ryan Cadwell, CPM (10:03) Because appraisers, I mean, appraisers walk in and it's income approach, it's cost approach, and then it's comp approach, right? That's the most common three ways that they value it. And then brokers are gonna tell you what, if they're selling for the seller's agent, they're gonna tell you usually market value. This is what market is. Even on the bigger stuff, the multifamily stuff, they're always gonna be pushing whatever is gonna. generate the most value for their client. For you, you have to know in your underwriting, what can you financially absorb? One of the biggest things going on right now is if you're getting into the market right now, everybody's financial projections are this is gonna be long-term place. Like the fast money that we just came out of, that's most likely not gonna be in the next five years, the next five, 10, 15 years. Jason Hull (10:35) Right. Ryan Cadwell, CPM (11:02) You can't say always, because there will be some stuff that'll pop. There'll be a few home runs. Most of what's going to happen is going to be fundamentals. It's going to be operational, which means underwriting investment value is going to be key. Because if you're not doing that, you're most likely going to default to, well, if I want to put my money to work in this, I'm going to have to... I'm gonna have to overpay a little bit. And by overpay, I even mean in a negative leverage position where your desk costing you more than you're getting on your return. And if that's the case, you've got to have enough cash to weather the storm. And there are some people that are doing that. And that's their investment strategy and thesis. But if you don't... Jason Hull (11:47) Sure. Like you mean maybe like in the short term, it's not cash flowing, but as an asset or an investment in long term, it's a great play. Ryan Cadwell, CPM (12:01) Yeah, as long as you're in a position to be able to absorb that. I mean, we've run into some owners. We've, we've had, and I think this is the reason why I've come out more and started talking about this is, is a lot of the relationships where we were, where they're strained with our clients is usually when we're brought in after they bought it, we don't know how they underwrote it. They bring it to us and somebody else told them what it's going to rent for. We take it to market. It doesn't rent for that. They're in a negative cashflow position and they planned on being positive and having money for reserves. And now they're pulling money out of their paycheck to make sure everything gets paid. Jason Hull (12:34) Right. Right, because they were operating from the beginning with false assumptions or incorrect assumptions. And so the expectations are off and then you have to be the bearer bad news, but also you're the person that's finally giving them the truth and you know. Yeah. Ryan Cadwell, CPM (13:01) And that's hard to be in because it's like spent cost fallacy. It's where they spent the money on this. They bought into whatever the underwriting was and they were super excited. There was the emotional attachment. And then they get to where, no. And then with us. Jason Hull (13:24) Yeah, Spend cost analysis sums up, think, the whole state of California and how they spend money. So they're like, we bought this. They buy, they're like, they invest all this stuff into metros and buses and whatever. And everybody wants to drive cars. And yeah, like, but we put so much money into this. Yeah. Ryan Cadwell, CPM (13:31) You Right. Yep. Yep. And because we put money into it, therefore it's valid. Yeah. Jason Hull (13:50) Right. Yeah. Got it. So, ⁓ So. ⁓ So we need to understand the difference between market value and investment value. ⁓ Understand that gap is how we understand long term wealth, because if the gap's off, it's either profit or loss. That's what the gap is. So it could go either way. And so we want to make sure there's there's profitability there. And even if it's in the short term. Ryan Cadwell, CPM (14:09) And that's Jason Hull (14:19) Maybe it's loss. The long-term, it still could be profitable. Maybe it can make sense. okay, so a lot of investors, they're overpaying. You want to structure smarter deals to increase the returns. ⁓ And we're also going to chat about the leadership habits that drive sustainable business growth. So where do we go from here, you think? Ryan Cadwell, CPM (14:45) I mean, I love talking about habits because habits are what good habits and sound habits create sound fundamentals. And it helps avoid a lot of the, ⁓ the, well, it helps expose a lot more of the, of the mistakes that we can get into. ⁓ it helps maintain discipline. It helps, ⁓ it helps expose us. Like if you're, mean, if you're getting emotional about a deal, I'm in an investor group and Jason Hull (15:03) Yeah. Ryan Cadwell, CPM (15:14) And it's funny when, you know, one of the guys pitches the group a deal. We all kind of have this joke. it, if it feels emotional to the person, we always poke at that. We always bring that up. Are you emotionally attached to this deal? Like, are you okay walking away? ⁓ because you don't want to get your, like money is very emotional thing. And if you're not honest about it, when you're evaluating, ⁓ it's a good way to get. Jason Hull (15:30) Hmm. Ryan Cadwell, CPM (15:43) you know, to get into that. Jason Hull (15:44) So, so Ryan, what I'm hearing is like when you talk about habits, it sounds like you've got like some rules, some guidelines that you sort of have learned to follow when it comes to these to make sure this works. And one of these is, you know, reason over emotion is like, like making sure you're not making this, you know, taking a step back and questioning yourself. Am I emotionally too attached to this and why and. Ryan Cadwell, CPM (15:55) Mm-hmm. Jason Hull (16:12) I I think at the end of the day, every decision we make at some point connects to something that connects to emotion, right? Like why do you have investment properties? Well, I want to take care of my family. Cool. Well, you want to take care of family because I want to feel like a good provider. OK. And what is that? Why is it important to be a good provider? Because I want to feel like I'm doing good in the world, like I'm doing the right thing. So you want to feel good, you know? Ryan Cadwell, CPM (16:20) Right. Agreed. Yep. Yep. Jason Hull (16:40) So ultimately it always boils down to this feeling. We just got to make sure that we recognize the feeling because sometimes there's a totally different path to get to that feeling than having that rental property, for example. Ryan Cadwell, CPM (16:51) 100%. And I think that right there is probably the number one thing to always remember. It doesn't have to be a rental property to accomplish the same goal. ⁓ Jason Hull (17:01) Okay. Right. Yeah. So maybe just working it backwards to figure out, why do I think I want these investments? Well, I want to invest. Why do I want to invest? I want more money. Why do you think this is the best vehicle? So if we just question our assumptions all the way down, we'll eventually probably connect to some sort of feeling. Can I get this feeling another way? Can I invest another way? Is this the best vehicle for me to get what I'm trying to achieve? And sometimes it might be yes. Sometimes it might be no. Ryan Cadwell, CPM (17:33) And there's ways to diversify your portfolio with REIT stocks. Those are attached to the real estate market. have those diversify your portfolio too. Now I'm not licensed to sell those. So I'm not giving advice. I'm just saying there are. Jason Hull (17:48) Explain for newbie investors what restocks are. Ryan Cadwell, CPM (17:52) REIT stocks are ⁓ a REIT is a real estate investment trust. it is REIT stocks. Yeah. R-E-I-T. REIT stocks. Nope. Just REIT stocks. Just a different way for you to invest. It's more cash cash in and out because it's a stock you can Jason Hull (17:58) you said re-stocks. Okay. Okay. I thought you were making something totally new called re-stocks, like re-stocking a shelf. So was like, ⁓ well tell me about this. Ryan Cadwell, CPM (18:20) If the market's open, you can trade it, put your money in, get your money back out. It's not like sitting on a rental house or a rental apartment complex and you've got to wait on the market to show up. And then if you've got to sell fast, you got to take a bath. ⁓ All that happens within the entity, but yeah. Jason Hull (18:23) Yeah. you Mm-hmm. Got it. What are some other habits or rules you think are important in these scenarios to follow? Ryan Cadwell, CPM (18:49) ⁓ I think it's truly understand like starting from a place of really understanding your financial position. I mean, how much, what's your, you know, what's your tax percentage? I've, I've, I've asked some people, they don't, they don't actually know. If you don't know how much, if you don't, you know, how much you're paying annually in taxes, then it makes it harder to plan if you're going to sell and whether to do a 10 31 exchange for instance, or. Jason Hull (19:17) Yeah. Ryan Cadwell, CPM (19:18) whether to take the, you know, take the gain. Everybody would normally say, oh, you don't, you never want to pay the government. That's not always true. You got to run the numbers. Sometimes, sometimes if you sell, like for instance, when the market was super hot and 22, I would have told you, probably need to really reconsider at 1031, cause you might be buying peak of the market and you're going to lose way more money than you're, what you would have paid in a, in a game. Jason Hull (19:43) and you can make. Yeah. Ryan Cadwell, CPM (19:47) So if you don't know your true financial position, like what is your opportunity cost? If you were to take the same cash you're going to put down and you're going to put it into, whether it's savings, bonds, other investment vehicles, what is your average return on that money? And knowing those numbers, just in knowing them, and then when you look at your next investment, it starts to change the way you think about it because now it's... Jason Hull (20:03) Yeah. Ryan Cadwell, CPM (20:17) Not necessarily am I getting into real estate, you know, am I getting into real estate for the right reason to accomplish the right goal? Because at the end of the day, I think everybody wants real estate for the same reason, and that's to create the biggest pile of money. Jason Hull (20:33) Do you think, so you got to understand your financial position. Sometimes people see somebody else doing something investment wise, their friends doing it. They're like, maybe I should do it. But what makes sense for them might not make sense for you because your tax situation is different. Your tax liabilities are different. Your like the cash on hand is different. Your long-term goals might be different, right? Maybe they're at a completely different place than where you're at financially. and you're trying to play like the big boy, but maybe you're not there yet, right? And ⁓ there's also the factor, though, of you're talking about all these different investments. What do you think about the phrase people say, invest in what you know? Ryan Cadwell, CPM (21:16) I mean, I preach that all the time. If you don't know it, the only real way to get into it is to partner with somebody who does, ⁓ who knows it really well. ⁓ that usually means they've lost money in it in some way. ⁓ Jason Hull (21:37) Yeah, they've made some mistakes so you don't have to. Okay. Ryan Cadwell, CPM (21:47) So partner with somebody who does or I mean, the easiest example for me has always been something like Apple. Like, I think Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger taught the same thing. Like if you, if you already like something, you're going to naturally know, you're probably going to naturally know market cycles without realizing it. I mean, Apple's easy for me because they have their thing in September, they launch and sell all their new products in October and then As long as all that goes well, they usually have a price increase December, January. So if you want to go in and out of Apple, that's typically a pretty good up and down. Everything in real estate is very similar. If you like houses and you want to flip or you like hospitality and houses, that's Airbnb. There are things that are going to be where you're not. working as much or things you're naturally retaining information about the market. There's a lot of advantages right now for investors that know their local market and know where there's value. Cause some of the big boys are getting out of stuff that they can't run spreadsheets on from New York, California, Florida, wherever they're based. And you're sitting there in the local market. You see what's going on. There's advantages to Jason Hull (22:56) Mm-hmm. Ryan Cadwell, CPM (23:13) to pull in the trigger on stuff because you're in that market. that is a big thing right now for investors to see value that other people can't because a lot of the value that was clearly visible, it gets bought up by the people with cheaper money. I mean, to be honest. Jason Hull (23:36) Got it. Okay. Well, Ryan, sounds like you've made a few mistakes yourself over the years. You've learned some things.
