Dr. Jason Williams is the founder and CEO of Ironclad Underwriting, where he helps investors simplify and strengthen multifamily deal analysis. With a background as a PhD-level chemical engineer, Jason brings a systems-based approach to underwriting, having transitioned from single-family rentals to large-scale multifamily syndications. He now teaches investors how to build smarter models, avoid costly assumptions, and raise their underwriting IQ.     Make sure to download our free guide, 7 Questions Every Passive Investor Should Ask, here. Key Takeaways Jason transitioned from engineering to real estate, bringing over 15 years of data analysis experience into underwriting. Many investors make critical underwriting mistakes by misunderstanding Excel models or relying too heavily on templates without verification. His Ironclad Underwriting model is built for flexibility and clarity, especially helpful when dealing with creative financing. He emphasizes third-party validation for all assumptions—especially from stakeholders who will be executing the plan. Property management can make or break a deal. Vet thoroughly and don't underestimate their impact.     Topics From PhD to Real Estate Pro Jason started investing in 2003 while in grad school and held rentals throughout his career. In 2017, he discovered syndications through Joe Fairless and began scaling into larger multifamily deals. After being laid off, he used the opportunity to go full-time into real estate. Underwriting with Precision Took his R&D background to build underwriting models that minimize user error and reduce complexity. Developed Ironclad Underwriting to “dumb down” deal data without compromising accuracy. Emphasizes that many common models can be broken easily—triple dipping rent bumps, broken formulas, or overwritten cells. Common Mistakes Investors Make Trusting broker/owner numbers without verification. Over-projecting rent growth based on temporary trends. Blindly following a coach or a guru's assumptions without understanding the logic. Using inherited underwriting models that have dead or disconnected cells. How to Use an Underwriting Model the Right Way Breaks rent data into: current, property management estimate, and pro forma rent. Encourages using third-party consultants for accurate insurance, taxes, and property management costs. Property managers must be part of the business plan validation process. Navigating the Market Cycle Expects a wave of opportunities as more owners face distress or pre-foreclosure. Believes creative financing will play a larger role—models must be able to handle these deal structures. Warns that relying on outdated assumptions or models not built for flexibility can lead to catastrophic results.

Can you imagine having over 40 embryos  transferred? OR flying to do daily blood testing and ultrasounds? The woman you're about to hear is one of the most passionate fertility advocates I know. Experiencing 7 transfers & multiple IUI's nearly 3 1/2 decades ago, while aLSP  enduring treatment both in the U.S. and in the Philippines, Sue Johnston's story is remarkable. You'll learn about the impact RESOLVE has  had in her life, “RESOLVE was my lifeline.” Many of us can relate to how much fertility treatments can suck the life out of us. I hope you're inspired by Sue's story. May we continue to navigate life's detours while holding onto grief and joy at the same time.Learn more about Sue below! Connect with her at the infertilityadvocate.com.Sue's Bio: My name is Sue Johnston and I met my husband, a U.S. Naval Officer in 1984. We were married on May 3,1986. My husband Bob and I struggled for nearly a decade to have our one and only child, who was born on May 1, 1994. The Navy didn't make infertility treatment any easier either. We moved 14 times in the first 12 years of our marriage and Bob was frequently deployed overseas... often for 6 months at a time. We even had a 2-1/2-year tour in the Philippines in the midst of our battle with infertility.Although I didn't choose to have infertility, I eventually turned my pain into purpose after learning how to embrace my resolution. I am passionate about supporting RESOLVE: The National Infertility Association because the people I met through this organization were my lifeline when I was in the thick of my infertility battle. Since then, I have worn almost every “volunteer hat” for RESOLVE. I have been actively involved in RESOLVE's FederalAdvocacy Day State for 10 years in many leadership roles. I am the co-Founder of the Detroit, MI Walk of Hope and have helped extend it to a statewide event. I lead local and national RESOLVE support groups both virtually and in person. In January of 2021, I started my Pregnancy and Parenting After Infertility Support Group (PAIGES). In 2022, I created a monthly PAIGES PLAYGROUP where moms and their miracle babies can get together to socialize with each other. One of my favorite past time activities is to create custom designed nursery paintings for all members of my general infertility support group who have made it to the other side of infertility. In addition, I am a leadership board member of the Michigan Fertility Alliance and helped to create the first ever Michigan Infertility Advocacy Day (MIAD) in September of 2021.

Opening Paragraph In this solo episode, Amy Wheeler invites listeners into a conversation about the intersection of childhood religion and the lifelong path of yoga therapy. What happens when the grace-filled teachings of Lutheran Christianity (insert your belief structure here) meet the depth and systematization of Indian philosophy? Can we honor both? Amy explores her own journey—from growing up in a progressive Christian household to becoming a devoted student and teacher of Yoga—unpacking how these spiritual lineages can coexist with humility, respect, and a shared intention to reduce suffering. This episode encourages us all to ask: Can different belief systems lead us toward the same inner peace? And more importantly, can we stay grounded in ethical yoga practice while honoring both source and seeker?In This Episode, Amy Discusses:Her upbringing as a Lutheran minister's daughter and how values like grace, compassion, and service shaped her early views on faith and spirituality.The transformative moment of discovering Yoga philosophy, particularly the structure and clarity of Patañjali's Yoga Sūtra and the Bhagavad Gītā.Navigating cultural appreciation vs. cultural appropriation—especially as a Western Yoga Therapist working with ancient Indian teachings.Can someone be a Yoga Therapist and maintain their original religious identity? Amy dives into the conversation about pluralism, integrity, and therapeutic intention.Iśvara as a formless universal presence, and whether one's version of “God,” “Allah,” “Jesus,” or “Buddha” can reflect the same sattvic qualities in a yoga-based healing context.Amy reminds us that being a yoga therapist is not about spiritual perfection or ideological purity—it's about long-term dedication to learning, humility, and reducing human suffering. Whether your spiritual background includes religion, atheism, or a mix of philosophies, the invitation is to stay with the practice, keep questioning, and deepen your connection to the wholeness of yoga without abandoning your roots. As she says, “Maybe the real question is whether what you believe is helping you be a better, kinder human being.” Amy Wheeler's Contact Info: Website: www.TheOptimalState.com Email: amy@amywheeler.com Instagram: @optimalstate YouTube: Optimal State with Amy Wheeler LinkedIn: Amy Wheeler PhDInterested in Studying Yoga Therapy or Ayurveda?Master of Science in Yoga Therapy at Maryland University of Integrative Health A rigorous, accredited program rooted in both ancient wisdom and modern integrative health. https://muih.edu/academics/yoga-therapy/master-of-science-in-yoga-therapy/Therapeutic Yoga for Licensed Health Care Providers (LHCPs) Learn how to ethically and effectively integrate yoga into your existing healthcare profession. https://muih.edu/academics/yoga-therapy/post-masters-certificate-in-therapeutic-yoga-practices/Integrative Ayurvedic Wellness Program Study the sister science to yoga through the lens of modern wellness, offering tools for nutrition,

Danny Richter, a policy fellow for CCL, led a discussion on CCL's strategic approach to engaging with the newly configured Congress. He highlighted the organization's priorities, including defending the clean energy provisions of the Inflation Reduction Act, advocating for the Fix Our Forest Act, supporting Foreign Pollution Fees and cautiously entering the permitting reform space. Danny emphasized the shift in CCL's approach from playing offense to playing defense, as we now focus on defending a bill that has already been passed. He also noted the change in the balance of power, with Republicans holding a majority in both the Senate and the House, and the importance of understanding this new context for effective Congressional engagement. This discussion stresses the importance of thinking ahead, preparing for multiple swings of the political pendulum, and maintaining positive relationships with both Democratic and Republican members of Congress. Danny also highlighted the need for volunteer empowerment, focusing on climate issues, and being a science-based organization. He acknowledged the need for uncomfortable trade-offs in addressing climate change and the importance of diverse approaches to achieve change.

Coaches Justin and Amanda offer coaching and programming at this link.   In this episode, Ashley shares her transformative journey of overcoming obesity, mental health challenges, and the importance of mindset shifts in achieving a healthier lifestyle. She discusses her experiences with bariatric surgery, dietary changes, and the role of family support in her journey. The conversation emphasizes the significance of exercise, nutrition, and the psychological aspects of weight loss, while also addressing the pitfalls of relying solely on medical interventions. Ashley's story serves as an inspiration for those looking to make lasting changes in their lives.   Takeaways Ashley lost almost 200 pounds in three years through a combination of diet and exercise. Mental health plays a significant role in Ashley's relationship with food and her weight loss journey. Bariatric surgery was a turning point for Ashley, but it required a mindset shift for long-term success. Finding the right balance in nutrition is an ongoing process for Ashley, involving experimentation with different diets. Support from family is crucial in maintaining motivation and accountability during the weight loss journey. Coping with stress and impulsive eating remains a challenge for Ashley, requiring constant self-awareness. Exercise, particularly weightlifting, has helped Ashley regain control and build strength. Long-term health is about more than just weight loss; it's about sustainable lifestyle changes. Ashley aims to be a fun and active grandmother, motivating her to stay healthy for her future family. Navigating the medical system can be frustrating, and Ashley emphasizes the importance of self-advocacy in health.

Why was there a women's orchestra in Auschwitz, and what can that help us understand human resilience? In this deeply moving episode of the show, I speak with Anne Sebba — renowned biographer, historian, and journalist — about one of the Holocaust's most extraordinary and little-known stories: the Women's Orchestra of Auschwitz. Anne's latest book tells the story of how a group of female prisoners were forced to form an orchestra in one of the most brutal Nazi concentration camps. They played not for celebration or escape, but as part of the machinery of terror — and yet, through music, they found a way to survive. As Anne shares, her journey into this story began with a startling personal discovery: her father was present at Bergen-Belsen shortly after its liberation. That visceral connection led her to uncover the story of Alma Rosé, the orchestra's conductor and the niece of Gustav Mahler, who used discipline and musical brilliance to save lives. We talk about the complexities of human behaviour, the ethical dilemmas of survival, and the way music — even when twisted into a tool of torture — remained a powerful expression of the human spirit. We also explore how Anne approached telling this story as someone who is neither a survivor nor the child of survivors. She explains the challenges of working with conflicting testimonies, the emotional toll of researching this subject, and why she took piano lessons while writing the book. Above all, this episode is about the resilience of the women who played in the orchestra, and the importance of telling stories that allow us to see history not just in abstract terms, but through individual lives. 

Are we going in the right direction as communicators? In an era of dramatic policy shifts, cultural upheaval, and a fractured media landscape, how do we trudge onward through the muck without losing our way? Weighty questions indeed. In this episode of The Trending Communicator, host Dan Nestle sits down with Elie Jacobs, founding partner of Purposeful Advisors, to tackle the thorny issues facing today's communications professionals. With over two decades of experience in public policy and advocacy, Elie brings a wealth of insights to the table. From his early days in President Clinton's post-presidential office to his current role advising startups and mid-size companies, Elie has witnessed firsthand the evolution of the communications profession. This wide-ranging conversation covers critical topics like the impact of AI on truth and objectivity, the challenges of maintaining purpose in a "perma-crisis" environment, and the delicate balance between business imperatives and societal responsibilities. Elie and Dan discuss the pitfalls of chasing trends versus staying true to core business objectives, and debate the proper role of communicators in shaping corporate policies on contentious issues. Throughout the episode, Elie emphasizes the importance of critical thinking, curiosity, and maintaining perspective in an increasingly polarized world. He argues for a return to fundamentals - focusing on clear business purposes rather than getting caught up in the latest social media firestorms. The discussion also touches on generational divides in the workplace and how early career experiences shape communicators' approaches to risk and decision-making. Whether you're a seasoned PR pro or just starting out in the field, this episode offers valuable food for thought on the current state and future direction of strategic communications. Elie's candid insights and Dan's probing questions combine to create a thought-provoking exploration of our profession's most pressing challenges. Don't miss this opportunity to gain fresh perspective on navigating the complex waters of modern corporate communications. Listen in and hear about...  Navigating the perma-crisis era as a communications professional How early career experiences shape strategic advisory skills Balancing business imperatives with societal responsibilities Critical thinking's vital role in the age of AI-driven information Adapting communication strategies to rapid political shifts Purposeful advising: focusing on a company's core mission Nuanced approaches to diversity and inclusion in corporate settings Notable Quotes On Career Beginnings: "The way I got into this was, you know, just sheer dumb luck. I didn't know what I wanted to do when I finished school. And then 911 happened and I picked up with cliche duffel bag of clothes and a duffel bag of GMAT books and LSAT books and GRE books and went off to Israel to try to figure out what to do." - Elie Jacobs [2:30 - 3:57] On the Path to Communications: "I don't know that. You know, people talk about having a calling, right? Some people have calling calling to the pulpit, regardless of what religion it is. Other people have callings to be doctors, other people have callings to be teachers. I'm not sure I've met anybody who has a calling to be a lawyer. I don't think I've ever met somebody who has a calling to be a public relations or communications specialist." - Elie Jacobs [6:48 - 7:15] On Representing Important Figures: "The only thing that was really said to us was you represent him, which also means you're representing his wife, who was then the senator. So that kind of weighs on you a little bit." - Elie Jacobs [12:36 - 12:45] On Dealing with High-Pressure Situations: "Once Bill Clinton completely loses his temper at you, your perspective on things changes a great deal. He lost it at me because I happened to be. I. I was just in the way." - Elie Jacobs [13:40 - 13:50] On the Importance of Critical Thinking: "Critical thinking is something that we actually have to call out now as something that, okay, we, we really need. Critical thinkers used to be almost a given that, you know, you, one of the reasons why either you are hired for an important job or, or that, you know, when you come out of college or wherever you've been, that, you know, critical thinking is part of the resume." - Dan Nestle [18:56 - 19:19] On the Challenges of Objective Truth in Modern Times: "The concept of objective truth has been shattered over the last 10 years.
