653. Part 2 of our conversation with Kathleen DuVal about her book, Native Nations: A Millennium in North America. “Pulitzer Prize Winner - National Bestseller - A magisterial overview of a thousand years of Native American history” (The New York Review of Books), from the rise of ancient cities more than a thousand years ago to fights for sovereignty that continue today. Winner of the Bancroft Prize, the Cundill History Prize, and the Mark Lynton History Prize. Long before the colonization of North America, Indigenous Americans built diverse civilizations and adapted to a changing world in ways that reverberated globally. And, as award-winning historian Kathleen DuVal vividly recounts, when Europeans did arrive, no civilization came to a halt because of a few wandering explorers, even when the strangers came well armed. Now available: Liberty in Louisiana: A Comedy. The oldest play about Louisiana, author James Workman wrote it as a celebration of the Louisiana Purchase. Now it is back in print for the first time in 221 years. Order your copy today! This week in the Louisiana Anthology. Katie Bickham. "Widow's Walk, 1917." The word came that seven hundred thousand bodies had drawn their last breaths at Verdun, an earth-quaking number for those unacquainted with the greedy appetites of death. She had never been across the sea, but pictured the corpses laid in neat rows like chopped cane at harvest time. “Apologies, ma'am,” came Small John's voice from the rear stairs. “I'd'a sent Roberta, but she scared fiercely of high places. You got to come down. The sun will cook you through.” Five weeks her husband had been gone, and she hadn't even heaved a sigh until she'd tried to fasten her silver bracelet on her own, a task best suited to a second pair of hands. Sweating, she gripped the chain until the metal grew hot in her palm. “Ma'am?” Small John tried again. Without turning, she could feel him moving closer. Had he ever touched her once in these long years? “Roberta said you in a fury.” She turned from the iron railing and flung the bracelet at him hard. It hit his shoulder, tinkled as it fell onto the slate. He lifted it by one end like a snake and walked toward her. “I'd'a gone, too,” he said. “Over there to fight. ‘Cept I don't see like I ought to, and my knee ain't right.” He watched her as if she might bolt over the edge, body set to lunge. Her temper cooled quick, the way Louisiana afternoons went from sweltering to raising shivers on skin before a hurricane blew in from the gulf. “Small John?” she asked. She held her shaking wrist out to him, her jaw and throat and chest all gone hot and raw. She thought he might throw it back at her, but he looked at her straight on, barely glanced down as he slipped the tiny teeth of the clasp together around her wrist, never once touched her skin.

Today is day 326 and we are studying The Seventh Commandment. 326. Is divorce ever permitted? The New Testament permits divorce in some cases; however, out of love for his people, God hates divorce because it severs what he has joined, causes immeasurable pain, and destroys family life. (Matthew 5:31–32; 19:7–9; 1 Corinthians 7:10–16) We will conclude today by praying Prayer 42.For the Human Family found on page 659 of the Book of Common Prayer (2019).

Canada is home to thousands of Sikh truck drivers, crossing North America in cabs that double as kitchens, bedrooms and places to pray. In a single week, some will see more of the continent than most people will in a lifetime, from major cities to mountain ranges and endless miles of road. But the road can be a hard place to practise faith built on family, community, and a vegetarian diet. Journeys can be long, food options limited, and drivers say discrimination is rising. Yet many choose to respond with acts of kindness, carrying their faith with them. Megan Lawton travels to Ontario to join Sikh truckers on the road. She stops at a local Gurdwara, where drivers reconnect with community, and come together to instill the values of their faith in their children.

At Craft Beer & Brewing Magazine®, we obviously spend a lot of time thinking about beer—talking to brewers and others in the industry, digging into the details of process, and writing about what we learn. Best of all, though, we get to drink beer—and, like it or not, the taste of every drop flashes through these weird brains that have spent an unhealthy amount of time focused on the liquid and everything that goes into making it. In short, we have thoughts. In this episode, contributing editor Kate Bernot, prolific author and longtime contributor Stan Hieronymus, and executive editor Joe Stange take off their reporter hats to talk through their favorite things they tasted all year, from around the world—going deeper into their Critics' Lists from the annual Best in Beer issue—inevitably sharing thoughts on where craft beer both could and should be heading.

In this episode, I sit down with Davi Strazza, who leads Adyen's business in North America. Davi brings a fascinating global perspective on payments, having spent over a decade at Adyen working across Brazil and now the US market. We dive into how Adyen's banking license, which they've held since 2021, fundamentally changes what they can offer to marketplaces, digital businesses, and SaaS companies that need to embed payments and finance into their platforms.Our conversation explores the competitive dynamics of the payments landscape, the future of stablecoins as a payment rail, and the five critical boxes that payment companies need to check to scale successfully. We also examine what American fintech can learn from Brazil's Pix system, discuss whether pay by bank will gain meaningful traction in the US, and look at how AI is transforming everything from personalized customer experiences to fraud prevention. For anyone interested in the infrastructure powering modern commerce, this is a must-listen conversation about what may be the most exciting time to be in payments.In this podcast you will learn:Davi's journey in fintech from Brazil to here in North America.How he describes Adyen today.Why they decided to get their own banking licenses in the US, UK and EU.How the banking license helps make their payments business more attractive.What is driving their momentum in the US.What brands get by working with Adyen over the legacy payments platforms.Why they talk about “unified commerce” and what it means exactly.How Adyen is preparing for a world where agentic commerce is commonplace.Davi's view on the future of stablecoins as a payment mechanism.Whether pay-by-bank has a future in this country.What the US can learn from the rapid adoption of Pix in Brazil.What he is most excited about for the future of payments.Connect with Fintech One-on-One: Tweet me @PeterRenton Connect with me on LinkedIn Find previous Fintech One-on-One episodes

Anthony and Sarah are in the thick of winter training right now, pulling back the curtain on how the pros use the “off-season” to quietly level up. Is it really a slower time, or just a different kind of hard work? From how they structure their weeks to the sneaky habits that set up next season, this episode is about the details nobody posts on Instagram—and how you can steal them for your own winter.A BIG shoutout to our incredible sponsors - Parlee Cycles "Whether it's a tough day, a gruelling training session, an epic road trip or sitting on the side of the road, exhausted and wondering how you'll get to the top...

Send us a textWhile I was researching the history of California, the history of Florida and the Pacific Crest Trail, there was a common thread, atrocities done to the first people to inhabit North America.I've hiked to places where blood was shed and sometimes I've found a marker, but often not. This is a history we need to remember, a pain that should be looked at straight on, and a healing that can only happen if we are honest about this part of United States history.Feels like Thanksgiving is a good time to have this conversation.Let's get into it.***The dissemination of this history in no way makes up for what was done to First People. And no podcast episode can heal a hurt. As a woman born in North America, I respect whatever path to heal the First People take. It is simply my goal to keep the history alive and offer a hand and a bear hug to those that need it.I don't accept sponsors and paid advertisers. I choose people, podcasts and authors I believe in to highlight in the ad segment. That's why I've been shining a spotlight on Derek Condit at Mystical Wares. He is both talented and generous with those gifts. Please give his books a look on the Mystical Wares website.Curious Cat Crew on Socials:Curious Cat on Twitter (X)Curious Cat on InstagramCurious Cat on TikTokArt Director, Nora, has a handmade, ethically-sourced jewelry company!

Today's meditation is Psalm 65, verses 1-8. Neither day nor night has a voice yet each speaks of God and His power. The utter greatness of God is on display throughout creation – from the ocean waves pounding on the shore to the night sky bright with light from billions of years ago. As we discover more, we realize how little we know about God and how very little time we devote to getting to know Him, the one who knew us first. Who loved us before we were born. Father, forgive us our trespasses… may we slow down in order to be amazed by You. May we change course, in order to align ourselves with You.

Interview with Stephen Hanson, President & CEO of Surface Metals Inc.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/surface-metals-csesur-former-lithium-player-pivots-to-nevada-gold-with-walker-lane-project-7467Recording date: 21st November 2025Surface Metals Inc. (CSE: SUR) has strategically positioned itself across two commodity cycles through its April 2025 acquisition of the Cimarron gold project in Nevada whilst maintaining a diversified lithium portfolio anchored by a 300,000+ ton LCE resource at Clayton Valley, California. This dual-commodity approach provides investors with exposure to gold's current bull market and lithium's structural electrification demand.Following recent meetings on Wall Street and Bay Street, President and CEO Steve Hanson reports renewed institutional appetite for junior and mid-cap mining opportunities. Major banks including JP Morgan, Goldman Sachs, UBS, Deutsche Bank, and HSBC forecast gold reaching $5,000 per ounce in 2026, driven by central bank accumulation, interest rate dynamics, and geopolitical tensions. Simultaneously, lithium markets show stabilisation following the 2023-2024 correction, with institutional interest returning to quality projects.The Cimarron gold project, located in Nevada's prolific Walker Lane trend approximately 35 kilometres south of Kinross's Round Mountain mine, benefits from extensive historical work conducted by Newmont and Echo Bay during the 1980s-1990s. Surface Metals has digitised this historical database and created three-dimensional geological models, positioning the company to commence phase one drilling in early 2026 with clear targeting rationale. The programme aims to confirm historical high-grade intercepts, validate a non-43-101 compliant resource, and expand towards a million-ounce target. Shallow oxide mineralisation suggests potential heap leach processing economics - a lower-cost development pathway relevant for junior companies.Surface Metals' lithium portfolio demonstrates geographic and geological diversification across three projects. The Clayton Valley brine project sits immediately northwest of Albemarle's Silver Peak operation - North America's only producing lithium brine facility operational since 1966. The company targets a preliminary economic assessment in 2026, evaluating direct lithium extraction technology offering faster processing and higher recovery versus traditional evaporation ponds. Neighbouring operator SLB's 2025 demonstration facility successfully produced lithium from similar brine chemistry, de-risking technology application.Fish Lake Valley represents exposure to sedimentary claystone lithium mineralisation, sitting contiguous to Ioneer's Rhyolite Ridge project backed by Ford, Toyota, and Panasonic offtakes with 2026 construction commencement planned. Surface Metals actively seeks joint venture partners to fund initial drilling. In Manitoba, NASDAQ-listed Snow Lake Resources earns into the company's pegmatite project through funded exploration whilst Surface Metals maintains carried interest without capital outlay.Capital efficiency distinguishes Surface Metals' approach. The company has reduced operational costs whilst advancing projects through partnership structures and targeted technical work avoiding dilutive capital raises during unfavourable market conditions. Sector consolidation reduced lithium-focused companies from 200-250 to approximately 60, with Surface Metals amongst survivors maintaining intact portfolio positioning to capture recovery momentum.Management contemplates multiple value realisation pathways including asset sales, joint ventures, or corporate restructuring to separate gold and lithium portfolios. In market conditions where commodities experience distinct cycles, portfolio separation could unlock valuation disparities whilst providing shareholders direct exposure to preferred commodity themes.All projects benefit from tier-one North American jurisdictions with established infrastructure, proximity to operating mines, and relatively streamlined permitting. Nevada exploration permits typically achieved in 90-120 days. As gold supply deficits emerge from major producers exhausting high-grade reserves, and lithium supply security achieves strategic priority, Surface Metals' portfolio positioning addresses structural market dynamics favouring quality junior mining opportunities in premier jurisdictions.View Surface Metals' company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/acme-lithiumSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

In this engaging and wide-ranging episode of The Voice of Retail, Michael reconnects with Selwyn Crittendon, CEO and Chief Sustainability Officer for IKEA Canada, nearly two years after his arrival in the Canadian market. Selwyn reflects on his remarkable journey through IKEA over the past 23 years—from his early days in the Washington, D.C. store to leading Canadian operations—and offers an inside look at how the iconic retailer is transforming itself for the future.Selwyn begins by recounting his promise upon joining IKEA Canada: visit every unit in the country and meet the 7,000-plus coworkers who bring the brand to life. That coast-to-coast journey delivered deep insight into the business, its people and customers, the affordability crisis shaping Canadian retail, and the macro forces—tariffs, trade tensions, supply chain disruptions—reshaping global commerce. IKEA's response? A relentless focus on affordability and sustainability as its “new superpower.” Over the past two years, the company has invested over $130 million in price reductions, ensuring home furnishings remain accessible to the many, not the few.The conversation then turns to IKEA Canada's evolving footprint: 16 large-format stores, a nationwide omni-channel network, customer distribution centres, planning studios, pickup points and over 1,000 FedEx parcel locations. Selwyn lays out the strategy behind IKEA's multiformat expansion—why big blue boxes remain essential, and how plan-and-order points allow IKEA to flex into more communities. The brand's omni-channel transformation—accelerated through the pandemic—continues with major fulfilment investments in Toronto and Vancouver aimed at seamless, channel-agnostic shopping.Selwyn also breaks down the brand's thematic focus areas. Last year's theme, sleep, delivered new product development, education, and marketing storytelling. This year, IKEA shifts to cooking and eating, aligning with customer behaviour for an affordable, sustainable home and meaningful family connection. The company's food division is booming too—$143 million in sales, 70 million meatballs served—and evolving from “quirky add-on” to strategic growth engine.The duo explores customer behaviour, the integration of data and AI in retail operations, and the rising importance of trust amid an era of synthetic media. Selwyn reinforces IKEA's position: responsible data use, personalisation done properly, and maintaining IKEA Family loyalty as a driver of lifetime relationships.Finally, Selwyn shares his reflections as a new Canadian—embracing the country's diversity, culture, and warmth—and looks ahead to IKEA Canada's upcoming 50th anniversary celebrations. Authentic, inspiring, and forward-looking, this episode is a must-listen for anyone passionate about modern retail, leadership, culture, and the future of accessible, sustainable living. The Voice of Retail podcast is presented by Hale, a performance marketing partner trusted by brands like ASICS, Saje, and Orangetheory to scale with focus and impact.

One of the biggest reasons why affluent families and high-net-worth investors have lost trust in financial services and wealth management firms is that most of the advice they receive is biased and driven by incentives that serve institutions instead of clients.Imagine financial advice and strategies that truly align your wealth with conflict-free guidance. Most investors expect traditional wealth managers and RIAs to act in their best interests. Today's guest will reveal how the financial industry actually operates—and how they are disrupting the status quo.That's why I'm thrilled to welcome Mo Lidsky to the podcast. Mo is CEO and Partner at Prime Quadrant, one of North America's leading multi-family offices. With $26B+ in AUC (Assets Under Consultation™) and over 400 years of combined experience, they've cracked the code on providing financial services that aren't focused on selling products, and empower families to make better financial decisions.They believe that typical family offices with 7-figure net worths should have the same access to institutional-quality options that are enjoyed by billion-dollar corporations, offering aligned interests, a diversity of opportunities, exceptional planning, and predictable outcomes. In our conversation, Mo shares how Prime Quadrant designed a cost-effective family office model that bridges the gap between retail investors and institutions, giving clients access to institutional opportunities and advice tailored solely to their needs. We'll also discuss how their fee-only structure creates transparency and how focusing on your real goals leads to genuinely personalized financial advice.In this episode, you'll learn: 1.) How to identify misaligned incentives in traditional wealth management and avoid paying for biased advice.2.) How Prime Quadrant's family office model delivers institutional-quality access and advice for affluent families.3.) How to clarify what you truly want—and build your financial life around purpose, freedom, and alignment.Show Notes: LifestyleInvestor.com/265Tax Strategy MasterclassIf you're interested in learning more about Tax Strategy and how YOU can apply 28 of the best, most effective strategies right away, check out our BRAND NEW Tax Strategy Masterclass: www.lifestyleinvestor.com/taxStrategy Session For a limited time, my team is hosting free, personalized consultation calls to learn more about your goals and determine which of our courses or masterminds will get you to the next level.

Today is day 324 and we are studying The Seventh Commandment. 324. Why does God forbid adultery? Adultery is a sin against one's spouse or spouse-to-be; against the sexual partners with whom it is committed; against their children, family, and friends; against human society by undermining the institution of marriage; and against God, in whose Name marriage vows are made. (2 Samuel 11:2–12:14; Proverbs 5; Malachi 2:13–16) We will conclude today by praying Proper 6 found on page 616 of the Book of Common Prayer (2019).

#320Today on the Clean Power Hour, Brandon Wagoner, Vice President of Strategy at Middle Tennessee Electric, explains how the second largest cooperative in America manages explosive EV adoption, deploys 32 megawatts of battery storage, and builds 113 megawatts of solar arrays while keeping rates low. His secret weapon: load factor optimization.Middle Tennessee Electric (MTE) serves 350,000 meters south and east of Nashville and leads Tennessee utilities in electric vehicle adoption. As the largest co-op in the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) service territory, MTE operates through strategic partnerships rather than vertical integration, working directly with TVA to solve generation and distribution challenges together.Key Discussion Points:• Load factor optimization as the primary metric for grid infrastructure decisions and rate management• 32 megawatts of two-hour battery storage deployment scheduled for Q1 2026 across their service territory• 3.25 MW tracking solar array operational, with 110 MW TVA solar project launching in 2028• Night Flex rate program incentivizing EV charging during six six-hour overnight windows• Community solar programs serving renters and members without rooftop installation options• Pro Solar advisory team provides trusted third-party guidance for members evaluating solar developers• Strategic approach to serving diverse demographics from high-income first adopters to conservative rural members• Co-op structure enables focus on member service rather than shareholder profits• Partnership model with TVA replaces traditional utility customer relationship• Programmatic rebates, including $50 EV charger installation incentivesConnect with Brandon WagonerWebsite: https://mte.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/midtnelectric/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/charles-brandon-wagoner-pe-2822146/ Support the showConnect with Tim Clean Power Hour Clean Power Hour on YouTubeTim on TwitterTim on LinkedIn Email tim@cleanpowerhour.com Review Clean Power Hour on Apple PodcastsThe Clean Power Hour is produced by the Clean Power Consulting Group and created by Tim Montague.

Mike Acton, head of research and strategy for North America at global real estate asset manager AEW, joined the latest episode of the REIT Report. He discussed why commercial real estate provides an anchor amid today's tech-driven market boom, how many smaller and retail investors are under-allocated to the sector, and why now could be the best entry point in a decade for real estate investment.Acton noted that the largest, most sophisticated institutional investors typically have real estate allocations that are anywhere from 10% to 15% of their portfolio. Within that real estate allocation, 10% to 20% might be in the listed space.“There's a lot of evidence that the leading investors are doing something very different than what a lot of smaller investors, certainly what a lot of retail investors, are not doing and probably should be,” Acton said.

Today's meditation is taken from Psalm 42. We have a yearning for God, for being with God. We were made this way. Sometimes, we don't know why we're sad but our heart knows that God will comfort us in that sadness. Our memories of joy-filled times with others, draw us to seek Jesus and remind us that hope and praise and trust are the essential ingredients for turning our minds from discouragement toward hopefulness.Daylight Meditations is a daily podcast from CFO North America.

In this episode, host Bill Calkins is joined by Tom Van Wingerden from Van Wingerden Greenhouses in Blaine, Washington, to discuss a business angle that isn't new but like many things these days, rapidly-evolving tools and technology are increasingly available to take it to the next level. Tom is Sales Director at Van Wingerden Greenhouses in Blaine, Washington one of the 100 largest greenhouses in North America and a gold supplier for Ball Seed. He has a degree in business management, is a proud father of four and was a blueberry farmer in the past. Tom is an outside-the-box thinker who's always looking for ways to do bigger things with fewer resources. That comes across loud and clear in this podcast. The topic is fundraisers—which can be a love-hate topic for many and although some greenhouses businesses have found success with fundraisers over the years, many have not and thus given up the opportunity to create a profit center working with local organizations who are hungry for plants and ways to leverage plant sales to fund projects. Of course, greenhouses need to make money from these efforts because they require plenty of work but what Tom's team has developed has more than tripled the company's fundraiser sales while requiring fewer people to manage the segment. This isn't just an episode about how Tom and the Van Wingerden team have grown sales. They actually developed a software system called PlantBuy.com that's now available for other greenhouses who want to streamline the fundraiser process. It's a system developed specifically for the commercial horticulture industry that could (in the future) result in a network of greenhouses across the country fulfilling orders from organizations who want to raise money through plant sales. In the episode, Tom and Bill discuss the overall opportunity for fundraiser business, what is required by greenhouses and the organizations they partner with, how plantbuy.com simplifies marketing, ordering and fulfillment, as well as best practices Van Wingerden Greenhouses has picked up over the past 20+ years supplying fundraisers of all shapes and sizes. If you also have a garden center operation (like they do), the marketing potential alone might be worth the effort!

US Gold Corp (NASDAQ: USAU) represents an increasingly rare investment opportunity in the North American mining sector - a fully permitted, shovel-ready gold-copper development project approaching a critical inflection point. The company's CK Project in Wyoming is completing its Definitive Feasibility Study by mid-December 2025, with public release planned for January 2026, positioning investors ahead of formal project financing negotiations and potential strategic interest from consolidating producers.The project's fundamental advantages centre on infrastructure and operational simplicity. Located 20 miles from Cheyenne, Wyoming, the CK Project benefits from established power and water infrastructure, rail connectivity within three miles, and access to a skilled industrial workforce without requiring worker accommodation. Chairman Luke Norman emphasized this distinction: "If we were trying to build this up in the snow belts in Alaska or something, it would be an entirely different undertaking." These infrastructure advantages translate directly into reduced capital intensity and lower operating costs compared to remote mining developments.The operational approach further differentiates the project from conventional precious metals mining. Norman characterized it as "a glorified quarry just with a little more infrastructure to extract the minerals," utilizing straightforward crushing and flotation processes with no on-site smelting required. The geology enhances this simplicity, with mineralization exposed at surface and "the richest stuff at surface," eliminating extensive pre-stripping requirements and accelerating the timeline to cash flow generation.Project economics demonstrated sub-year payback potential in previous studies, an exceptional metric that speaks to rapid capital recovery. Whilst Norman acknowledged the forthcoming DFS will reflect increased capital costs for enhanced environmental measures, he maintained that "the margins on the project have just increased dramatically" due to gold and copper price appreciation. This economic robustness has attracted considerable financing interest, with Norman confirming "so many term sheet come across our desk in the last 12 months."The resource base comprises a 1.7 million ounce gold reserve supporting projected annual production exceeding 100,000 ounces over a minimum 10-year mine life. Importantly, management identifies potential for "another million ounces plus potential for harvesting within the pit," providing resource growth opportunity without requiring additional permitting or fundamental changes to the mining plan.The strategic context enhances the investment thesis. Norman characterized the project financing environment as "a lot of capital chasing very few projects that are permitted and ready to go," reflecting the scarcity of development-ready projects in North America. This dynamic creates both favourable financing terms and potential M&A premium, with Norman acknowledging the DFS completion "might even trigger some interest from an M&A perspective." Management's stated focus on equity value creation - "whatever is best for the stock" - aligns with shareholder interests across multiple potential value realisation pathways.For investors seeking exposure to North American gold and copper production development without the regulatory uncertainties that plague most junior mining investments, US Gold Corp offers a differentiated opportunity. The convergence of complete permitting, exceptional infrastructure advantages, robust project economics, secured financing interest, and imminent DFS completion positions the company for significant value creation as it enters what management anticipates will be "a really fast and furious 2026."

Discover an incredible story of survival and thriving on the Heal Yourself podcast as I interview 84-year-old John A. Brink, who went from surviving Nazi-occupied Holland to becoming a CEO, philanthropist and the oldest competitive bodybuilder in North America. John reveals his secrets to health, longevity and a powerful mindset, including the daily routines and diet that keep him thriving and why he considers his late-in-life ADHD diagnosis a "superpower." This is a must-listen for inspiration on resilience, health and aging without fear.Time Stamps 11:04 A Daily Gratitude Mindset: John starts every day at 5:30 AM by going outside and declaring, "I'm in paradise." He emphasizes that counting his blessings and maintaining a positive, grateful attitude is a critical part of his mental and emotional wellness.13:55 A Life-Threatening Wake-Up Call: A severe case of diverticulitis in 2008 became a major turning point for his health. The condition breached, causing toxins to spread and his doctor later told him he "came this close" to death. He took this as a "message" to get serious about his health.15:17 Proactive Diet Transformation: Following his health crisis, John became more proactive, adopting his wife's more vegetarian-focused lifestyle and moving from an "80/20" to a "90/10" approach to healthy eating.15:41 Embracing Fitness in His Late 60s: John became serious about personal fitness. He hired a trainer and began working out 3-4 times a week, proving it's never too late to start. This new passion eventually led him to bodybuilding.23:34 Finding His "Superpower" in ADHD: At age 62, John discovered a book called "Driven to Distraction" and realized he had ADHD. Instead of seeing it as a liability (which had caused him to fail school), he reframed it as his "superpower," crediting it for his strategic thinking and success.26:34 The Importance of Downtime: John schedules downtime and flies to Vancouver Island every Friday afternoon to spend the weekend relaxing with his wife and their seven horses, emphasizing that recovery is crucial.31:52 Overcoming Addiction: John shares that in 1992, his wife "hit him with a 2x4 across the head" (metaphorically) and "dumped him" as a wake-up call. This event prompted him to stop drinking, smoking and taking prescribed Xanax all within one week.36:48 John's tip for healthy ageing is to understand your body and have a good mindset.John's Bio Born in 1940 in Nazi-occupied Holland, John A. Brink survived war, hunger, and hardship before emigrating to Canada in 1965 with just $25.47. He founded Brink Forest Products in 1975, now North America's leading value-added wood manufacturer.

In this solo episode of the Smart Real Estate Coach Podcast, I pull back the curtain on my early days of investing and the messy transition from the 2008 crash into creative real estate. I walk you through the "dead zone" years, the IRS and creditor headaches, the move from a waterfront home into a 900-square-foot apartment, and how those experiences forced me to design what eventually became our Three Paydays™ system. If you're sitting in a W2 you don't love, stuck in analysis paralysis, or wondering how to actually replace your job with creative real estate deals, this one is for you. I'll share the exact sequence: hiring a coach when I had no money, raising $25K for a mastermind, doing my first 12+ deals out of a tiny office, building the team around me, and scaling from zero to 10 properties a month under contract. You'll hear the mindset shifts, the tactical steps, and the hard-won lessons that took me from "completely stuck in my head" to building a business and community that now has 95+ years of combined experience helping students all over North America. The goal is simple: shorten your learning curve, help you avoid my mistakes, and challenge you to ask, "Why not me?"
