Summary Robert Gates (Website; Website) joins Andrew (Twitter; LinkedIn) to reflect on the 75th Anniversary of the CIA. He served 8 U.S. presidents.  What You'll Learn Intelligence His reflections on the CIA at 75 How the CIA's story intersected with his own   His take on the organization's strengths and weaknesses  The complex intl. environment the CIA must now help America navigate Reflections Twists of fate Identity and institutions  And much, much more… Episode Notes Robert M. Gates is the first career officer in the CIA's history to rise from entry level employee to Director. He spent 27 years at CIA, nine of those at the NSC. More recently, he was the first Secretary of Defense to be asked to remain in office by a newly elected president. In all, he served 8 presidents.  Wouldn't you love to know his take on the CIA at 75? Well, we've made that happen for you! He was born in Wichita, Kansas, served in the U.S.A.F. and he received his undergraduate education at William & Mary, his masters from Indiana University, and his doctorate from Georgetown University. He was formerly the President of Texas A&M University and the current Chancellor of William & Mary.  And… The academic institutions Dr. Gates has been associated with all have quite different capacities of football stadium: Georgetown University's Cooper Field can hold 3,750; William & Mary's Zable Stadium can hold 12,259; Indiana University's Memorial Stadium can hold 52,626; and Texas A&M's Kyle Stadium can hold a whopping 102,733. What could we infer about Dr. Gates, college sports, or the United States from this information? Well, that would be thinking like an intelligence analyst. Quote of the Week "I've led four very big, very different institutions and like all of them I always saw where places where CIA could be better. But I always loved the place, and I always was proud to work there and proud of the people that I knew…they were probably the smartest, most honest people I've ever met and worked with." – Robert Gates.

Saint Nicolas, figure emblématique du christianisme, naît en 264 en Lycie (actuelle Turquie) dans une famille aisée mais devient orphelin très jeune. Ascète et moine, il est appelé à succéder à son oncle comme évêque de Myre. Persécuté sous l'empereur romain Dioclétien, il est emprisonné avant de retrouver sa fonction religieuse après l'édit de Milan en 313. Connu pour sa lutte contre l'arianisme, il défend la divinité du Christ face à cette hérésie. Il meurt le 6 décembre vers 343 et est enterré dans une cathédrale de Myre, mais son tombeau, convoité, est brisé et ses reliques sont transférées à Bari en 1087 pour les protéger des Turcs. Ces événements alimentent la légende du saint, devenu patron des enfants, des écoliers, des prisonniers et des marins. Sa mémoire, célébrée chaque 6 décembre, inspire encore aujourd'hui fêtes et traditions dans le monde entier.

The Aedus elves of Watchtower 33 must investigate a nearby disturbance.  

  In our first sotry today, California ADU laws have been softening for several years in an effort to increase housing space and availability. ADUs are often used as rentals, which can help alleviate some of the pressure on rental supply. However, what it doesn't do, is increase general housing supply, as ADUs are considered a part of the primary residence, where only one person can own it. However, Assembly Bill 1033 was passed in California last October that changes everything, and presents investors a huge opportunity.   Our 2nd story highlights that rents were on the rise during the peak pandemic years, only to come back to normal growth trajectories over these last couple of years, with a few pockets of decreases and increases depending on the market. Spoiler alert: The same is going to continue, but at least we are confident enough to say it's guaranteed. At least according to Barry Sternlicht, CEO of Starwood Capital, who said that with widening supply gaps and a lack of construction, we're guaranteed to see rents continue to grow for the next two years Learn more about your ad choices.

It's that time of year when you're either super happy that your team made it to the big game, or you're frustrated with your team's performance throughout the season (such as my Panthers) or still recovering from a playoff blowout (I'm talking to you, Cowboy fans). Or you could be an Eagles fan and question your existence after what's happened over the last 365 days (much to my delight). At any rate, life goes on, and only one team can win the trophy. What we do have more control over, though, is where we place our money in real estate. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

A new report from Redfin finds that 26% of investor purchases in Q4 2023 were in “low-cost” properties, up significantly from previous years. The increase comes as housing prices remain elevated and mortgage rates stay locked around the 7% range.

In March 2021, Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell said, “[T]hese one-time increases in prices are likely to have only transient effects on inflation.” From then on, “transitory inflation” became the phrase of the year in economics, with high hopes that once the initial supply chain shocks and government stimulus after the onset of the pandemic wore off, inflation would return to its regular scheduled programming and maybe even deflate. It turns out, however, that trillions of new dollars in stimulus and slashing interest rates to near-zero for a prolonged period of time did not make inflation “transitory.” Instead, it became a new chapter for the economy.

If you've paid any attention to the news, it can seem like the world is turning upside down. The war in Ukraine still rages, Israel is now in a full-fledged conflict with Hamas, which is purportedly backed by Iran, and there's tremendous economic uncertainty still putting investors on edge. While some of these events can feel like they are a world away, one in particular will be felt right here at home and may directly impact your real estate portfolio. And that event is the recent removal of Kevin McCarthy as Speaker of the House. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
