NBA – National Basketball Association Last Night Portland Trailblazers 110, Detroit Pistons 104 Philadelphia 76ers 147, Indiana Pacers 143 Blazers 110, Pistons 104 – Lillard’s triple-double helps Blazers beat Pistons 110-104 Damian Lillard had 31 points, 13 rebounds and 12 assists, securing his second triple-double of the season before the end of the third quarter, and the Portland Trail Blazers beat the Detroit Pistons 110-104. The dynamic guard scored 16 points in the first quarter to give the Trail Blazers a 31-18 lead, and they had little trouble keeping a comfortable margin against a banged-up and slumping team for most of the night. Detroit pulled within six points with 1:39 left to fire up the previously quiet fans, and Jerami Grant quieted them with a 3-pointer on the ensuing possession. Grant finished with 26 points against his former team.  Former Kalamazoo Central and University of Michigan player Isaiah Livers matched a career high with 17 points for the Pistons, who have lost a season-high eight straight games. The Pistons were without injured starters Bojan Bogdanovic, Isaiah Stewart and rookie center Jalen Duran, along with key reserve Killian Hayes. Sixers 147, Pacers 143 – Embiid scores 42, Sixers beat Pacers 147-143 without much D Joel Embiid scored 42 points, James Harden added 14 points, 20 assists and nine rebounds, and the Philadelphia 76ers pulled away late for a 147-143 victory over the Indiana Pacers in a game virtually devoid of defense. Embiid made 11 of 16 field goals and all 19 free-throw attempts. Tyrese Maxey scored 24 points and Jalen McDaniels added 20 for the 76ers, who have won two straight. Tyrese Haliburton led the Pacers with 40 points and 16 assists. Neither team led by more than six points through the first three quarters. The Sixers finally took control with a late 10-0 run. Tonight Washington Wizards at Detroit Pistons, 7:00 p.m. NHL – National Hockey League Last Night Chicago Blackhawks 5, Ottawa Senators 0 Blackhawks 5, Senators 0 – Seth Jones scores twice as Blackhawks beat Senators 5-0 Seth Jones scored two of Chicago's three second-period goals, and the Blackhawks stopped Ottawa's five-game win streak with a 5-0 victory over the Senators. Anders Bjork had three primary assists, and Alex Stalock made 35 saves in his 11th career shutout. Lukas Reichel, Phillipp Kurashev and Jason Dickinson also scored as last-place Chicago snapped a four-game losing streak. Ottawa remained three points back of idle Pittsburgh for the second wild card in the Eastern Conference, wasting a prime opportunity to gain ground in the playoff race. MLB – Major League Baseball – Spring Training Yesterday Boston Red Sox 7, Detroit Tigers 1 Chicago Cubs 6, Seattle Mariners 2 White Sox were off Today St. Louis Cardinals at Detroit Tigers, 1:05 p.m. Chicago Cubs at Texas Rangers, 3:05 p.m. Milwaukee Brewers at Chicago White Sox, 3:05 p.m. MLB – Red Sox infielder Justin Turner hit in face by pitch Boston Red Sox infielder Justin Turner needed 16 stitches after he was hit in the face by a pitch during a spring training game against the Detroit Tigers. The 38-year-old Turner fell to the ground after getting drilled by right-hander Matt Manning. Turner's wife, Kourtney, posted to Instagram that the infielder had “16 stitches and a lot of swelling but we are thanking God for no fractures & clear scans.” MLB – MLB shift limits raising batter spirits and averages so far Major League Baseball’s new limits on infield shifts are raising batter spirits this spring. They might be bosltering batting averages, too. Batting averages across the league are up slightly from last spring training, from .259 to .263. Left-handed hitters seem to be benefitting most, with their collected average up from .255 to .274. Sluggers like the New York Yankees’ Anthony Rizzo are enjoying taking at-bats without a wall of defenders in shallow right field. Rizzo says that “young left-handed hitters will be introduced to the 3-4 hole that's been gone for about seven to eight years.” NFL – Ex-Raider Derek Carr agrees to 4-year contract with Saints The New Orleans Saints say former Raiders quarterback Derek Carr has agreed to a four-year contract. A person familiar with the situation said the deal could be worth up to $150 million. The person spoke to The Associated Press about the contract's value on condition of anonymity because financial terms were not released. Carr turns 32 this month. He played nine seasons for the Raiders and holds team records for yards and touchdowns passing. Saints coach Dennis Allen was the Raiders' coach when the team selected Carr in the second round of the 2014 draft. Las Vegas released Carr on Feb. 14 to avoid guaranteeing him $40.4 million of his contract over the next two years. NFL – Ex-Raider Ruggs’ felony DUI case stalled by fight over judge A Nevada judge will again be asked to decide which justice of the peace should handle a preliminary hearing in the case against former Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Henry Ruggs III, who is accused of killing a woman in drunken car crash in 2021. Las Vegas Justice of the Peace Harmony Letizia told Ruggs and his attorneys on Monday that she lacks the authority to decide whether she or another judge should preside over the hearing to decide if there is enough evidence to warrant that Ruggs stand trial on charges of reckless driving and driving under the influence causing death. Ruggs' attorneys said they will again take the issue to Clark County District Court. NFL – NFL reinstates Jaguars WR Ridley after gambling suspension The NFL reinstated suspended receiver Calvin Ridley and cleared the way for him to join his new team in Jacksonville. The league says Ridley is eligible to participate in all team activities beginning immediately. He had been suspended indefinitely since March 2022 for violating the NFL's gambling policy. He is expected to join the Jaguars for offseason workouts beginning April 17. The Jaguars traded a fifth-round pick in 2023 and a conditional fourth-rounder in 2024 to get Ridley from Atlanta at the trading deadline in November. NCAAMBKB – Houston, UCLA, Kansas top latest AP Top 25; Duke back in UCLA has climbed to No. 2 behind Houston in the latest Associated Press men’s college basketball poll. The Cougars earned 58 first-place votes to remain on top for a third straight weekl. The Bruins’ move to No. 2 represented their highest ranking this season. They received the other three first-place votes. Kansas, Alabama and Purdue rounded out the top five. Texas A&M climbed six spots to No. 18 for the week’s biggest jump. No. 21 Duke, No. 24 Creighton and No. 25 Missouri were this week’s new additions. Providence, Pittsburgh and Maryland fell out. NCAAWBKB – South Carolina No. 1 for 37th straight week, Iowa now No. 2 South Carolina remains No. 1 in The Associated Press women’s basketball poll for a 37th consecutive week. That breaks a second-place tie with Louisiana Tech for the longest streak all time. Only UConn has a longer run atop the poll with 51 consecutive weeks. Big Ten Tournament champion Iowa moved up five spots to No. 2, its highest ranking since 1994. Indiana, Virginia Tech and Stanford round out the top five. Washington State jumped in at No. 22 after winning the Pac-12 Tournament. Tennessee also joined the poll at No. 24. South Florida and Iowa State fell out.

Detroit pulled within six points with 1:39 left to fire up the previously quiet fans, and Jerami Grant quieted them with a 3-pointer on the ensuing possession. Grant finished with 26 points against his former team.  Former Kalamazoo Central and University of Michigan player Isaiah Livers matched a career high with 17 points for the Pistons, who have lost a season-high eight straight games. The Pistons were without injured starters Bojan Bogdanovic, Isaiah Stewart and rookie center Jalen Duran, along with key reserve Killian Hayes.

The 38-year-old Turner fell to the ground after getting drilled by right-hander Matt Manning. Turner’s wife, Kourtney, posted to Instagram that the infielder had “16 stitches and a lot of swelling but we are thanking God for no fractures & clear scans.” MLB – MLB shift limits raising batter spirits and averages so far Major League Baseball’s new limits on infield shifts are raising batter spirits this spring. They might be bosltering batting averages, too. Batting averages across the league are up slightly from last spring training, from .259 to .263. Left-handed hitters seem to be benefitting most, with their collected average up from .255 to .274. Sluggers like the New York Yankees’ Anthony Rizzo are enjoying taking at-bats without a wall of defenders in shallow right field. Rizzo says that "young left-handed hitters will be introduced to the 3-4 hole that’s been gone for about seven to eight years.” NFL – Ex-Raider Derek Carr agrees to 4-year contract with Saints The New Orleans Saints say former Raiders quarterback Derek Carr has agreed to a four-year contract. A person familiar with the situation said the deal could be worth up to $150 million. The person spoke to The Associated Press about the contract’s value on condition of anonymity because financial terms were not released. Carr turns 32 this month. He played nine seasons for the Raiders and holds team records for yards and touchdowns passing. Saints coach Dennis Allen was the Raiders’ coach when the team selected Carr in the second round of the 2014 draft. Las Vegas released Carr on Feb. 14 to avoid guaranteeing him $40.4 million of his contract over the next two years. NFL – Ex-Raider Ruggs’ felony DUI case stalled by fight over judge A Nevada judge will again be asked to decide which justice of the peace should handle a preliminary hearing in the case against former Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Henry Ruggs III, who is accused of killing a woman in drunken car crash in 2021. Las Vegas Justice of the Peace Harmony Letizia told Ruggs and his attorneys on Monday that she lacks the authority to decide whether she or another judge should preside over the hearing to decide if there is enough evidence to warrant that Ruggs stand trial on charges of reckless driving and driving under the influence causing death. Ruggs’ attorneys said they will again take the issue to Clark County District Court. NFL – NFL reinstates Jaguars WR Ridley after gambling suspension The NFL reinstated suspended receiver Calvin Ridley and cleared the way for him to join his new team in Jacksonville. The league says Ridley is eligible to participate in all team activities beginning immediately. He had been suspended indefinitely since March 2022 for violating the NFL’s gambling policy. He is expected to join the Jaguars for offseason workouts beginning April 17. The Jaguars traded a fifth-round pick in 2023 and a conditional fourth-rounder in 2024 to get Ridley from Atlanta at the trading deadline in November.

Turner's wife, Kourtney, posted to Instagram that the infielder had “16 stitches and a lot of swelling but we are thanking God for no fractures & clear scans.” MLB – MLB shift limits raising batter spirits and averages so far Major League Baseball’s new limits on infield shifts are raising batter spirits this spring. They might be bosltering batting averages, too. Batting averages across the league are up slightly from last spring training, from .259 to .263. Left-handed hitters seem to be benefitting most, with their collected average up from .255 to .274. Sluggers like the New York Yankees’ Anthony Rizzo are enjoying taking at-bats without a wall of defenders in shallow right field. Rizzo says that “young left-handed hitters will be introduced to the 3-4 hole that's been gone for about seven to eight years.” NFL – Ex-Raider Derek Carr agrees to 4-year contract with Saints The New Orleans Saints say former Raiders quarterback Derek Carr has agreed to a four-year contract. A person familiar with the situation said the deal could be worth up to $150 million. The person spoke to The Associated Press about the contract's value on condition of anonymity because financial terms were not released. Carr turns 32 this month. He played nine seasons for the Raiders and holds team records for yards and touchdowns passing. Saints coach Dennis Allen was the Raiders' coach when the team selected Carr in the second round of the 2014 draft. Las Vegas released Carr on Feb. 14 to avoid guaranteeing him $40.4 million of his contract over the next two years. NFL – Ex-Raider Ruggs’ felony DUI case stalled by fight over judge A Nevada judge will again be asked to decide which justice of the peace should handle a preliminary hearing in the case against former Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Henry Ruggs III, who is accused of killing a woman in drunken car crash in 2021. Las Vegas Justice of the Peace Harmony Letizia told Ruggs and his attorneys on Monday that she lacks the authority to decide whether she or another judge should preside over the hearing to decide if there is enough evidence to warrant that Ruggs stand trial on charges of reckless driving and driving under the influence causing death. Ruggs' attorneys said they will again take the issue to Clark County District Court. NFL – NFL reinstates Jaguars WR Ridley after gambling suspension The NFL reinstated suspended receiver Calvin Ridley and cleared the way for him to join his new team in Jacksonville. The league says Ridley is eligible to participate in all team activities beginning immediately. He had been suspended indefinitely since March 2022 for violating the NFL's gambling policy. He is expected to join the Jaguars for offseason workouts beginning April 17. The Jaguars traded a fifth-round pick in 2023 and a conditional fourth-rounder in 2024 to get Ridley from Atlanta at the trading deadline in November.

NBA – National Basketball Association Last Night Portland Trailblazers 110, Detroit Pistons 104 Philadelphia 76ers 147, Indiana Pacers 143 Blazers 110, Pistons 104 – Lillard’s triple-double helps Blazers beat Pistons 110-104 Damian Lillard had 31 points, 13 rebounds and 12 assists, securing his second triple-double of the season before the end of the third quarter, and the Portland Trail Blazers beat the Detroit Pistons 110-104. The dynamic guard scored 16 points in the first quarter to give the Trail Blazers a 31-18 lead, and they had little trouble keeping a comfortable margin against a banged-up and slumping team for most of the night. Detroit pulled within six points with 1:39 left to fire up the previously quiet fans, and Jerami Grant quieted them with a 3-pointer on the ensuing possession. Grant finished with 26 points against his former team.  Former Kalamazoo Central and University of Michigan player Isaiah Livers matched a career high with 17 points for the Pistons, who have lost a season-high eight straight games. The Pistons were without injured starters Bojan Bogdanovic, Isaiah Stewart and rookie center Jalen Duran, along with key reserve Killian Hayes. Sixers 147, Pacers 143 – Embiid scores 42, Sixers beat Pacers 147-143 without much D Joel Embiid scored 42 points, James Harden added 14 points, 20 assists and nine rebounds, and the Philadelphia 76ers pulled away late for a 147-143 victory over the Indiana Pacers in a game virtually devoid of defense. Embiid made 11 of 16 field goals and all 19 free-throw attempts. Tyrese Maxey scored 24 points and Jalen McDaniels added 20 for the 76ers, who have won two straight. Tyrese Haliburton led the Pacers with 40 points and 16 assists. Neither team led by more than six points through the first three quarters. The Sixers finally took control with a late 10-0 run. Tonight Washington Wizards at Detroit Pistons, 7:00 p.m. NHL – National Hockey League Last Night Chicago Blackhawks 5, Ottawa Senators 0 Blackhawks 5, Senators 0 – Seth Jones scores twice as Blackhawks beat Senators 5-0 Seth Jones scored two of Chicago’s three second-period goals, and the Blackhawks stopped Ottawa’s five-game win streak with a 5-0 victory over the Senators. Anders Bjork had three primary assists, and Alex Stalock made 35 saves in his 11th career shutout. Lukas Reichel, Phillipp Kurashev and Jason Dickinson also scored as last-place Chicago snapped a four-game losing streak. Ottawa remained three points back of idle Pittsburgh for the second wild card in the Eastern Conference, wasting a prime opportunity to gain ground in the playoff race.

Dr. Nathan Long, President, Saybrook University joins Brad Johnson and JP Novin! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/plexuss/message

It's tough not to adore Nathan Long, the restaurateur behind Nate's on Marsh in San Luis Obispo. He is warm, welcoming, and personable. You know how restaurants always say that they treat their guests like family? That really is the case at Nate's. I interviewed him at the restaurant because the interior of the place is just remarkable. Picture a cross between a 70s-era country club, a spaghetti Western and a Ralph Lauren ad — all covered in emerald colored wallpaper. I know, I know: it makes no sense and yet when you see it, it works indisputably well. We talked about Nathan's upbringing here in San Luis Obispo, his background in agriculture, and his affinity for a meatball and a Manhattan. Website: natesonmarsh.com Instagram: @natesonmarsh

Dr. Nathan Long is the president of Saybrook University. With 25 years of experience in higher education, Dr. Long oversees all strategic and operational aspects of the university. He holds a Doctorate and Masters of Education in interdisciplinary studies. Saybrook University is an online, private, non-profit graduate university and the premier institution for humanistic scholarship and practice. Founded by luminary psychologists, for 50 years, Saybrook has offered advanced degrees, currently offering programs in psychology, integrative medicine and health sciences, business administration, counseling, and transformative social change. The institution is committed to helping students develop as whole individuals– mind, body, and spirit – and to relentlessly pursuing a more socially just and sustainable world. With low residency requirements for master's and doctoral degrees, students can earn an online graduate degree and meet their personal and professional needs as adult learners servicing their communities. Highlights: “We are a humanistically focused institution of higher learning with an emphasis on social justice and sustainability.” [10:55] Dr. Long talked a bit about Saybrook's mission and how the university uses love to support its students and alumni. This all stems from a desire to help, and you can hear the passion in Dr. Long's voice.  “The humanistic psychologist is not saying ‘here's what I'm going to do to fix you'.” [17:23] We discussed humanistic psychology and how Saybrook puts that methodology at the core of its operations. According to the humanistic approach, the therapist doesn't just label the patient and try to change them. Instead, the therapist and the individual are on a journey together. Each person is different, so applying labels isn't entirely helpful. According to Dr. Long, the principles of humanistic psychology thread through almost every other discipline. Alumni can take lessons learned from Saybrook into virtually any career they choose.  Dr. Long went on to discuss a few alumni success stories. He talked about how Saybrook's humanistic ideas and philosophy can be applied to executive and leadership success.  As Dr. Long says: “We're not here to judge you.” Saybrook teaches that the therapist's mission is to help the individual, not judge them. Leaders and therapists alike should identify what a person wants out of life, rather than label them with a disorder or diagnosis.  We talked a little bit about leadership, and Dr. Long made the point that “if you're not present, you're going to be less effective as a leader.” [32:33] One of the top qualities of being an effective leader is simply being present.  Dr. Long also stressed the importance of being “open to the journey, the possibility, and the prospects.” [36:28] It's critical to approach situations or leadership roles with an open mind.   “I lead with love… by celebrating our team here at Saybrook.” [37:45] We finished with these words by Dr. Long. He talked about how he puts love in action at Saybrook.  Resources Saybrook University: https://www.saybrook.edu/

Financial resilience is about how well adapted and prepared people are to deal with the financial challenges that life throws at them. It's a really important issue at both a personal and at a societal level.

What are the best ways REALTORS® can be planning for their financial futures? President of Quest Trust Company Nathan Long joins Alex and Jeff in the studio to talk about investing and planning for retirement.

  Finding success alone in real estate is not how it works, most especially in this time and age of connectivity. That is why coming together in one place to network and, at the same time, learn is a beneficial opportunity to grab. One great example of that is an expo, and Nathan Long, the President of Quest Trust Company, shares in this episode their Self-Directed IRA Expo. Bringing in investors, lenders, and borrowers in this event, Nathan talks about the value of having a venue to separate your obligations and duties and just build relationships with others in the industry. He shares some great investing, laying down the problem most people do in self-directing. Don't miss out on more wealth-building insights and stories about private leading and cross-collateralization as Keith Baker and Nathan start you up on some education. — Listen to the podcast here: Nathan Long on Self-Directed IRA Expo, Private Lending, And More I have the distinct pleasure of interviewing the President of https://www.questtrustcompany.com/ (Quest Trust Company), Mr. Nathan Long. Speaking of the Quest Trust Company, they are the sponsor of this episode and we’re a few days away from their Self-Directed IRA Expo. It’s an extravaganza. 2018 was a top-notch event held in Dallas, about 500 attendees came in and attended two days. This 2019, they're going to do three days and they’re expecting about 1,000 if not more. I know tickets are going fast. If you do want to get your tickets and get a 25% discount, go to http://privatelenderpodcast.com/expo (PrivateLenderPodcast.com/expo). There will be a promo code and a link that you can get a 25% off your ticket, your admission, if they still have them. Go check that out. I know they were selling like hotcakes. Back to Nathan Long. He’s the President of Quest Trust and has put on a great expo. We’re going to talk about that here. I do want to forewarn warn you that I had this great interview already mapped out and bullet-pointed and all this stuff that I was going to talk to Nathan about. All of that went out the window and we ended up shooting the breeze so to speak. Let’s get down to the brass tacks and get to the interview with Nathan Long. — I’m honored to have Nathan Long. He’s the President of https://www.questtrustcompany.com/ (Quest Trust Company). Nathan, welcome to the Private Lender Podcast. Thanks for coming on. I appreciate you having me. You’re going to be the last interview episode before the big Quest Expo. Let’s go ahead and talk about the 800-pound gorilla in the room and what a great event the https://www.questtrustcompany.com/events/quest-expo-2019-houston/ (Self-Directed IRA Expo) is. It’s so cool to hear that. When the girls came to me and said, “We want to hold one of these expos.” I told them, “No. We’re not doing that. We’re not in the expo business. That’s not what we do. We help other educators. I don’t want to feel like I’m in competition with people that are selling coaching or education.” They looked at me and said, “We’re doing it.” I said, “If you want to do this, then I have one rule. Every ticket you get, every vendor money that you get goes back into the expo. It’s a zero-profit point for Quest,” and then so many people showed up. They're so happy. I think it's because it got this momentum and the speakers got better and they got so excited. More people come and then they would add another thing or add this, they’ve constantly kept it exciting right up to the end. I know they had a little app that people were still on that app communicating months afterwards about deals and stuff and making deals on it. It was cool. I’m proud of them. They did a bang-up job last 2018. I consider myself lucky having had a table and being on a panel and being able to talk. That was fun. It was a lot bigger than I expected. I got a...
