Hollywood Score Composer and Film Producer Brian Ralston is one of the most well-informed and articulate people I've met during my 50 years in the music business. He's so clear-headed about so many aspects of the music and film industries that I did a solo interview with him at this year's Road Rally—our annual conference. Brian didn't disappoint! The people in the ballroom felt like they had learned something important. Things they normally don't think about because they're usually focused on the music much more than their career. Because he was so good, I've decided to do something I've rarely done after the Road Rally—I've invited Brian to reprise what we did on stage last month, but this time we're doing it live on TAXI TV!

Pascal Wagner interviews Bronson Hill, founder of Bronson Equity, about how LPs can invest confidently in today's noisy and divided market. Bronson shares how raising $50M+ across multifamily, oil & gas, and alternative real estate has shaped the way he vets operators, evaluates risk, and structures deals more conservatively after recent market challenges. He explains why understanding your true investment objective—cash flow, tax benefits, or equity growth—is the key to picking the right deal, and why due diligence should start with the market, then the operator, then the deal. Bronson also walks through his shift toward more control as a GP, including his Altadena modular housing redevelopment project after the California wildfires, and why debt funds and royalties are gaining traction with LPs seeking stability and monthly income.

Rising insurance costs have become a major challenge for real estate owners, investors, and developers, with some deals no longer penciling out as a result. Inflation, climate-related disasters, and broader market volatility have all contributed to premium increases and reduced coverage availability. At the same time, emerging factors such as social inflation and third-party litigation funding are adding further pressure to insurers and policyholders alike. In The Property Line's 75th episode, James O'Brien and Eric Greenberg are joined by Rebecca Woods, co-chair of Seyfarth's Commercial Litigation practice, to discuss what's driving today's insurance market and how property owners can manage costs through stronger risk management, creative coverage structures, and careful lease negotiation.

Michael Smerconish delivers a commentary from the Philadelphia suburbs discussing the gap between life perception and reality, particularly in the context of college education and the American Dream. He explores the realities most American college students face, emphasizing that a majority do not experience the 'traditional' four-year residential college experience. Smerconish connects this theme to political divides, noting how educational backgrounds correlate with political affiliations. Smerconish incorporates views from professionals like economist Neil Mahoney and politicians like Doug Sosnick, highlighting economic concerns and shifts in voter demographics. The narrative also brings in perspectives on America's strengths and optimism as expressed by figures like Jim Van Dehi and Tim Warrens, advocating that the American Dream, while challenged, is still alive. The script transitions into a conversation on modern childhood, discussing 'helicopter parenting' and advocating for greater childhood independence via insights from Lenore Skenazy, who promotes the 'Free Range Kids' movement. Finally, the segment touches on the poll question of whether the American Dream still holds true, revealing a more optimistic view from Smerconish's audience compared to a national survey.

Keys to the Future: Navigating Today's Housing Market Together In this Keep It Simple Podcast episode, host Joey Badinger joins advisors Adam Morse and Tommy Williams at AssetBuilder's Plano HQ to unpack what's really going on in today's housing market—and how families can work together to help Gen Z and Millennials become homeowners. They trace the arc from early 20th-century mortgages to post-WWII suburbia, the 1970s rate shock, 2000s subprime bubble, post-COVID surge, and today's challenging mix of higher rates, compressed affordability, insurance spikes, student debt, and constrained supply. What You'll Learn Housing history in a hurry: From 5-year loans and big down payments to the 30-year mortgage, GI Bill suburbs, the 1970s rate peak, the subprime crisis, and COVID-era price jumps. Why affordability is strained now: Home-price-to-income ratios, higher mortgage rates vs. locked-in low-rate owners, insurance costs, and student debt. Supply vs. demand realities: Aging-in-place, building restrictions, private investors in starter homes, and why listings can rise even as affordability falls. Programs that help first-time buyers: Where to look for down-payment assistance, reduced-rate programs (e.g., HomeReady, Home Possible), and local buyer education courses. Family strategies that work: How grandparents/parents can gift earlier, reframe big-ticket events (e.g., weddings) vs. down payments, and coach smart savings habits. Episode Highlights Rates matter—but so does the price base. A 6–7% mortgage is tough; the bigger problem is prices outpacing wages. Locked-in effect: Owners with 2–3% mortgages aren't moving—tightening the starter-home pipeline. Costs beyond the mortgage: Insurance premiums and maintenance have significantly outpaced wages. Education pays: City/county first-time buyer classes can prevent costly surprises (inspections, foundation/piping, etc.). Timing gifts can change trajectories: Front-loading support (within a plan) can beat waiting for inheritances.

Navigating Today's South Shore Market: Insights from Talk Real Estate Roundtable At Boston Connect Real Estate, our mission is to keep South Shore buyers, sellers, and homeowners informed about the ever-changing real estate landscape. In our latest Talk Real Estate Roundtable, we discussed timely topics shaping the market—from pricing strategies to navigating common myths—offering guidance to help you make confident decisions. Busting Common Real Estate Myths One of the most important conversations we had centered on real estate myths that continue to circulate: “Every home sells over asking.” While multiple-offer situations are still happening, especially in sought-after South Shore towns like Scituate, Marshfield, and Pembroke, not every property sells for more than its list price. Pricing strategy, location, and condition remain critical factors. “Waiving contingencies is the only way to win.” Waiving inspections or financing contingencies can expose buyers to unnecessary risks. A skilled buyer's agent can craft a competitive offer without jeopardizing protections that safeguard your investment. “Spring is the only good time to sell.” Life changes don't always align with the seasons—and neither do buyers. Families relocating, downsizers seeking condos, and first-time buyers entering the market keep demand strong year-round. The Importance of Representation We emphasized the value of hiring the right buyer's and seller's agents: A buyer's agent helps clients understand market value, negotiate effectively, and avoid pitfalls often encountered when browsing lead-generation websites. A seller's agent ensures your home is priced strategically, marketed locally and digitally, and guided through a smooth transaction to closing. Creating a real relationship with your Realtor—someone who knows both you and the local market—makes all the difference. Market Pulse: What We're Seeing Locally Inventory levels remain tight across the South Shore, but opportunities still exist for both buyers and sellers. New construction in towns like Plymouth and Kingston is providing options for families looking for modern layouts and energy efficiency. Meanwhile, established neighborhoods continue to attract buyers drawn to community feel and proximity to Boston. Takeaway for Buyers & Sellers Whether you're a first-time buyer, a growing family, or preparing to downsize, don't let myths or misinformation drive your decisions. The key is partnering with a trusted, local real estate professional who can provide clarity, advocate for your best interests, and guide you through today's competitive—but navigable—market.

Back in spring 2024, I recorded a handful of episodes with no idea they'd take the scenic route to your inbox. Life had other plans, but the conversations held up beautifully, maybe even better with a little time to breathe. This is the first in a short run of those spring episodes, and I think you'll find it worth the wait.In this episode of Technically Speaking, I'm joined by Jermaine Murray also known as The Jobfather. He's a career coach and founder of Jupiter HR, who's vision is to help 500 Black professionals land jobs in tech (he's currently at 448).We get into the state of today's job market from employer indifference toward DEI to the rise of AI, and what it actually takes to future-proof your career. Jermaine shares his approach to identifying green flags when evaluating companies, how to avoid burnout while doing meaningful work, and why now is the time to invest in yourself even when the odds feel stacked against many.This one's part motivation, part strategy, and packed with sharp insights for anyone navigating change. We also had a few moments of laugh out loud laughter from his stories.Key Takeaways* Leverage Your Past Skills: Don't abandon previous experience when transitioning to tech - assess what you're good at, what you like, and what you've had success with to find the right tech role* Job Market Reality Check: Current tech job searches take 9-18 months (vs. 2-3 months previously) due to increased competition and fewer opportunities - timing and referrals are crucial* DEI Shift: Companies have moved from active diversity requirements to "indifference" - focus on finding places where you're appreciated, not just tolerated* Embrace AI as a Tool: You won't be replaced by AI, but by someone leveraging AI better than you - adapt and use it as a productivity multiplier rather than fear it* Ask the Hard Questions: Always interview to know your market value, and directly ask about things that make you anxious (company stability, layoff history, diversity support) - how they respond matters more than what they sayNotable Quotes"Ask them the most awkward things. The things that make you feel anxious. Ask them... what happens with disruptions or new technologies.""Taking an interview is not the same as job hopping... you should always be interviewing so that you know what your real time value is and whatever decision that you make is an informed decision.""You can't be scared of AI... you will be replaced by somebody that is leveraging AI rather than AI itself.""Why do you think that your employer owns the skills that you carry with you in your body? They own the time that you work for them, but all the skills you carry with you."Resources* Follow Jermaine on LinkedIn, Twitter, Instagram, TikTok* JupiterHR* Harrison on LinkedIn, InstagramTimestamps00:00 Introduction00:30 Meet Jermaine Murray "The job father"00:47 Jermaine's mission and success stories02:05 Balancing work and health03:01 Gaming talk: from Final Fantasy to Nvidia04:30 Current obsessions: fitness journey07:41 Unusual jobs and memorable stories11:59 The origin of 'The job father'17:54 Defining tech and career advice24:29 Understanding career motivations25:10 Leveraging past skills in new roles27:35 Recruitment strategies and market trends30:51 The impact of DEI in the workplace35:02 Navigating AI and technological advancements40:18 Identifying green flags in job opportunities47:25 Final thoughts and contact information Get full access to Technically Speaking at technicallyspeakinghw.substack.com/subscribe

In this episode of The Smart Property Investment Show, host Phil Tarrant sits down with Theo Chambers, CEO of Shore Financial, to break down the forces shaping investor sentiment in 2025. From rate pause surprises to a dwindling investor pool, Phil shares his reflections on a market that's increasingly hard to read, before unpacking the state of advice in the property space, warning of the rise of unqualified buyer's agents steering investors into risky territory. The pair discuss why investor confidence is slipping, the risks of poor advice, and how policy settings, particularly in Victoria, are driving investors away from traditional hotspots. Phil also opens up about his own strategy: why diversification, timing, and market cycles matter more than ever, and how commercial property is reshaping what “smart investing” really looks like in 2025.

In this episode, we welcome Dr. Roger Herbert—retired Navy Captain, former SEAL commander, professor of ethics, and distinguished academic. Dr. Herbert's career spans from leading undersea special operations to teaching future naval officers at the U.S. Naval Academy. We explore Dr. Herbert's remarkable journey marked by leadership, ethics, and profound moral challenges. Dr. Herbert shares stories of combat, personal transformation, and the vital importance of principled leadership—even under the most extreme conditions. --- What We Discuss: * The intense process of becoming and leading Navy SEALs * How war can spark deep ethical reflection and personal evolution * What moral leadership looks like in combat zones—and classrooms * Why teaching ethics to future military leaders is more important than ever * How pivotal life decisions can stem from unexpected, even humorous, moments --- Featured Quotes: “The secret sauce of being a SEAL is learning how far you can really go—and it's always further than you think.” – Dr. Roger Herbert “We push candidates to what they *think* is their limit… and then some crazy few keep going. That's where we find the SEALs.” “Ethics isn't just theory—it's what helps you come home with honor.” “We don't swear loyalty to a person. We swear to a document. That's the power of the U.S. Constitution.” --- Resources Mentioned: * Dr. Roger Herbert's Substack - rogerherbert.substack.com * The Ethics of Special Ops: Raids, Recoveries, Reconnaissance, and Rebels - https://www.amazon.com/Ethics-Special-Ops-Recoveries-Reconnaissance-ebook/dp/B0CLGJK8R6?ref_=ast_author_dp&th=1&psc=1 * Ethics at War: How Should Military Personnel Make Ethical Decisions? - https://www.amazon.com/Ethics-War-Military-Personnel-Decisions-ebook/dp/B0CKFGDXQY?ref_=ast_author_dp&th=1&psc=1 ---

July 7, 2025 | Season 7 | Episode 26The financial landscape is shifting dramatically with President Trump's newly signed "Big Beautiful Bill" extending the 2017 tax cuts that were set to expire this December. This sweeping legislation keeps the top tax rate at 37% while expanding the estate tax exemption to a generous $15 million per person ($30 million per couple), providing substantial benefits for wealth transfer planning.For everyday Americans, the bill introduces tax exemptions on tips (up to $1,000) and overtime pay (capped at $12,500 for individuals), though these benefits won't apply to Social Security or Medicare taxes and come with income limitations. Seniors gain a new $6,000 tax deduction, while the SALT cap jumps from $10,000 to $40,000 until 2030—a major relief for residents of high-tax states.Perhaps most intriguing is the creation of "Trump IRAs," government-backed retirement accounts that will receive a one-time $1,000 deposit between 2025-2029. These accounts must invest in index-tracking funds composed primarily of US stocks, with employers able to contribute up to $2,500 without tax implications.Beyond domestic policy, international trade tensions continue brewing. Treasury Secretary Yellen has warned that countries failing to negotiate trade deals by August 1st will face restored April-level tariffs. Meanwhile, financial markets have shown remarkable resilience—the S&P 500 is up 5.5% year-to-date despite significant political polarization and major economic policy shifts.The Federal Reserve now navigates contradictory signals from June's jobs report: 147,000 nonfarm jobs added (above expectations), but with private payrolls increasing by only 74,000 and 130,000 people leaving the workforce entirely. These mixed indicators have markets anticipating a September rate cut rather than July action.As you consider your investment strategy, note the explosion of ETFs—now exceeding 4,000 on the NYSE compared to just 2,400 listed stocks. While offering advantages over traditional mutual funds, specialized ETF products demand careful scrutiny, particularly leveraged offerings that may not perform as expected over longer holding periods.

Navigating Today's Market: Real Estate, Retirement & the Reality of "Staying Put" At Boston Connect Real Estate, we know that buying or selling a home is only part of the story. That's why our Talk Real Estate Roundtable goes beyond listings and open houses—diving into the bigger conversations that shape our lives, our neighborhoods, and our futures. The May 3rd episode was no exception, featuring a special two-hour crossover with financial advisor Alyssa McNamara Reed of McNamara Financial, and plenty of insights for today's market. Real Talk: The Lock-In Effect and Aging in Place One major topic? The “lock-in effect.” With many homeowners locked into low mortgage rates from years past, the incentive to move has decreased—even when families have outgrown their current homes or want to downsize. Sharon McNamara emphasized that this challenge is especially tough for the Boomer generation, who often struggle to find affordable, appropriate housing alternatives. As a result, more people are choosing to age in place. But staying put doesn't mean standing still. We guide clients in making smart updates to their current homes and planning ahead for lifestyle changes—ensuring comfort, safety, and resale value. Financial Smarts: Supporting the Next Generation Alyssa McNamara Reed brought a valuable financial perspective to the conversation, especially when discussing the difficulties younger buyers face in today's competitive market. High interest rates, low inventory, and rising home prices have made it harder for first-time buyers—often requiring help from family, creative financing, or significant cash reserves. Many parents are asking: How can I help my adult children become homeowners without jeopardizing my retirement? Alyssa shared strategic options, including tax-efficient asset withdrawals and the importance of keeping savings diversified outside of retirement accounts. A Tale of Two Markets Sharon recently returned from Texas, where she helped her daughter house hunt. The contrast between Dallas and the South Shore was eye-opening: more land, more new construction, and significantly lower prices. But as Sharon pointed out, “We won't see that here.” With limited land and dense zoning regulations, Massachusetts simply can't build at the same scale. That makes our inventory even tighter—and our market even more nuanced. As a boutique brokerage, Boston Connect offers personalized guidance to help clients make the right move in this uniquely challenging landscape. Looking Ahead: What Buyers and Sellers Need to Know While the market may be “quiet” in terms of listings, it's still active beneath the surface. Homes priced correctly and presented well are still moving quickly. Sharon and Alyssa discussed the importance of preparation—whether that's staging a home for sale, structuring an offer creatively, or managing your finances for the long term. At Boston Connect, our mission is to provide that holistic support. Because every move should be a moving experience. Ready to Plan Your Next Chapter? Whether you're buying, selling, or simply preparing for the future, the Boston Connect team is here for you.

Jason talks about the current state of the housing market, emphasizing that there is no housing crash due to the low number of financially distressed homeowners. He shared updated statistics from the US Census Bureau, indicating that 39.8% of homeowners have no mortgage, and 65% have mortgages at or below 4%. Jason also highlighted the oversupply in the high-end market and encouraged potential buyers to reach out to his investment counselors for opportunities. Jason then finishes his talk with Vince of RE social as they discuss the advantages of single-family homes, highlighting their accessibility and historical stability. While scaling can seem challenging with multiple mortgages, blanket loans exist. Institutional investors demonstrate the scalability of single-family rentals. Diversification across 3-5 markets is recommended for single-family homes, offering a balance between wealth creation through concentration and preservation via diversification. Viewing tenants as "subscribers" in a sticky business model and leveraging financing and tax benefits further solidify single-family income property as a top asset class. #RealEstateInvesting #SingleFamilyHomes #IncomeProperty #RentalProperty #RealEstateTips #InvestmentStrategy #WealthBuilding #PassiveIncome #REI #RealEstateMarket #Diversification #SubscriptionBusiness #TaxBenefits #1031Exchange #HousingMarket #RealEstateExpert #InvestmentProperties #FinancialFreedom #RealEstateForBeginners #MultifamilyInvesting   Key Takeaways: Jason's editorial 2:32 Why there is housing crash YET 9:17 Join our FREE MASTERCLASS EVERY 2nd Wednesday of the month JasonHartman.com/Wednesday Jason's interview with Vince Rodriguez of RE Social part 2 10:11 Diversity 12:22 The best subscription model in the world 13:32 Share of income, income property and taxes 17:55 Buy or rent? 20:22 Market dynamics and unemployment insurance 28:53 "Everyone has a right to a home"- and you're renting it out!

The agricultural land market is defying conventional wisdom. Despite economic headwinds and rising interest rates, farmland values are reaching unprecedented levels across the Midwest, with premium soils commanding exceptional prices at recent auctions.A Clay County farm recently sold near $9,000 per acre while Lamoure County land exceeded $7,000 per crop acre - both representing some of the strongest results ever seen in their respective markets. What's driving these remarkable numbers? The answer lies primarily in soil quality. Properties featuring loam-based soils continue attracting intense competition from both neighboring farmers and outside investors who recognize the long-term productivity such land offers.Tax planning has become increasingly critical for landowners contemplating a sale. Many current sellers purchased their land decades ago for a fraction of today's values, creating potential tax liabilities that require careful consideration. Proactive strategies like 1031 tax-deferred exchanges can help manage these implications effectively. Without proper planning, tax obligations can substantially reduce net proceeds from even the most successful auction.On the rental front, rates have generally maintained stability across the Northern Plains despite some downward pressure from current commodity prices. The pastureland rental market has been particularly strong, supported by healthy cattle prices and continued demand for quality grazing opportunities. This rental stability further reinforces investor confidence in farmland as a reliable income-producing asset.Looking ahead to spring, an impressive lineup of equipment auctions features several notable retirement sales with exceptionally well-maintained machinery. These sales present valuable opportunities for producers looking to upgrade their operations without the premium costs of new equipment.Despite various challenges facing agriculture today, professionals remain cautiously optimistic about both land values and farming opportunities. Their advice: stay focused on operational excellence and long-term planning rather than becoming distracted by short-term market volatility or political noise. Those who approach the market with patience, prudence, and a commitment to quality management will likely continue to see farmland demonstrate its enduring value.Follow at www.americalandauctioneer.com and on Instagram & FacebookContact the team at Pifer's

Show Notes: Cara Natterson moved to New York City where she worked for a drug rehabilitation center, and later moved to Baltimore, where she studied at Johns Hopkins Medical School. She eventually returned to L.A. and practiced pediatrics there. Her writing career began at the age of 31 when a co-worker asked her to read his manuscript, which inspired her to write her own book about raising kids. The Body Book Series and Less Awkward Company In 2008, Cara decided to leave clinical medicine and become a full-time writer. In 2011, after speaking at Mattel, she was signed on to write for the Body Book series from American Girl, which has since sold millions of copies. Cara then started touring the country, focusing on puberty education. During this time, she discovered that there was nothing else available for kids whose bodies, brains, feelings, and friends were changing. She launched her own business, Less Awkward, a company that created direct-to-consumer products designed for comfort and health like bras and socks. Cara has since expanded the company to focus on content across social media, podcasting, newsletter, and school curriculum. Health and Sex Education Curriculum In the past year, she has rolled out two platforms: a health and sex education curriculum for schools, which is already implemented in three states, and a membership for parents and trusted adults. Cara talks about the importance of understanding and discussing puberty in young people. She highlights the slower pace of puberty, with girls entering puberty at an average age of 8-9, and boys at an average age of 9-10. She emphasizes the importance of discussing the first signs of puberty, such as breast budding or testicular growth. She also highlights the importance of discussing the issue of first porn exposure, which is a significant concern for parents, family members, coaches, mentors, healthcare providers, and educators. She emphasizes the need to educate children about free porn, which is generally violent and aggressive, and calls for a less awkward approach to discussing this topic. By engaging in conversations about this topic, adults can help their children navigate the challenges of puberty and promote healthier lifestyles. Launching a Direct-to-Consumer Product Cara talks about the shift from a pediatrician to writer to entrepreneur. She initially went to medical school but, although she found it interesting, she also realized that she was more of a creative type. However, her background combined with her creative mind led to the drive to develop comfortable and healthy products. After a chat with a friend about bras, she was convinced that there was a need for comfortable bras for young girls. The two women partnered with a sewer who made a comfortable and healthy bra for their daughters, and later pulled together a team that developed the product over many years. They patented the product and launched the company during the COVID-19 pandemic. It was initially launched as a mask company, focusing on distribution and production channels instead of bras to supply the then current demand. Six months later they launched their bra products. She talks about the journey from design and development to launching the product and what she learned along the way. Cara's business ethos has always been to do well and to do good at the same time, and she has found this to be a recipe for success. The This Is So Awkward Podcast The conversation turns to Cara's podcast which she started with her partner, Vanessa Kroll Bennett. The podcast addresses the confusion about the length of puberty. It features background episodes and guest appearances with experts from various fields. In October 2023, they published a book called This Is So Awkward: Modern Puberty Explained, which explores the changes in puberty and how to talk about them, and it includes essays by kids about their experiences with acne, first periods, and heartbreaks. The podcast has expanded along with content on Instagram and TikTok. All of this content is also available on the website LessAwkward.com. They also have a school-based health and sex education curriculum called That Health Class. Navigating Today's Cultural Complexities Cara emphasizes the importance of pediatricians in understanding and managing the changes in puberty. She explains that kids and their adults are overwhelmed by the complexity of the world and the increased access to a wide and diverse range of information. Pediatricians often lack the time or bandwidth to provide anticipatory guidance for children, an especially big issue given the mental health crisis among children. Cara mentions that pediatricians often turn to the LessAwkward website where they have trained an AI bot on their content. Pediatricians are starting to use it as a healthcare solution when they don't have the time to answer questions but their patients want to be able to anticipate what's coming. The bot is reliable, gated, and trained on good data, making it engaging and entertaining. The levity and warmth of the content make it a valuable tool for pediatricians to recommend. Factors that Contribute to Early Puberty The American Girl Body Book series launched just after a 1997 study showed that girls were entering puberty earlier. It stated that the average age has shifted from 11 to 10, and a follow-up study in 2010 found it to be between eight and nine. The reason for this change is under investigation, but it is believed to be due to a number of factors, including stress, adverse childhood experiences, and antibiotics. Stress causes cortisol surges, which can either trigger the release of hormones like LH and FSH, or cause sex hormones to surge. Adverse childhood experiences, such as witnessing trauma or drug abuse, can increase the risk of entering puberty early. Evolutionary theory suggests that the human body is meant to reproduce before life ends, and so it makes sense that the general stress response might drive earlier development. She mentions Louise Greenspan, a woman who has been researching puberty for decades, has written a book called The New Puberty which further explores this topic. The Male Side of the Story Cara's parenting podcast has a diverse audience, with nearly 20% male listenership. She shares her experiences with male listeners and the challenges they face in connecting with their children. She wrote Decoding Boys, and states, with a degree of jocularity, that there is no data on the connection between testosterone and silence, but it is common among males, especially in their tween years. She shares personal strategies to help connect with tween or teen boys, as they do want to talk and share their thoughts with trusted adults. In the book, Cara shares strategies she has used, and in this conversation, she shares a personal experience on how she encouraged her son to talk to her.  Influential Harvard Courses and Professors Cara's career highlights her interest in sociology and biological anthropology, which she combined at Harvard. She wrote a junior paper about female genital mutilation in Africa and a thesis about HIV prevention in teenagers in Boston suburbs. She had a vivid memory of her thesis advisor, Irven DeVore, who was an interesting thinker and helped her fit her thesis idea into the curriculum.
