In this episode, we tackle a difficult but crucial topic: what to do when someone passes away. While it's not a conversation most people want to have, planning ahead can save significant stress and confusion for those left behind.We start with the immediate steps that need to be taken. First, a legal pronouncement of death is required, which is usually handled by hospital or hospice staff, but in cases of a home passing, 911 or hospice must be called. Then, notifying immediate family and close friends becomes a priority. This can be overwhelming, so enlisting help to spread the word is essential. Arranging transportation of the body, securing the deceased's home and belongings, and taking care of any pets are also critical early tasks.Next, we move into handling financial and legal matters. Obtaining multiple copies of the death certificate is key, as most financial institutions require them. Locating the will or estate documents helps determine whether probate is necessary. If the deceased's assets were solely in their name, probate is likely required. However, if assets were jointly owned or placed in a trust, probate may be avoided. It's important to notify key institutions—banks, investment custodians, mortgage lenders, pension providers, Social Security, and credit card companies—to avoid complications like continued payments that may need to be repaid.Probate can be a time-consuming and public legal process, so we discuss three common scenarios:If assets are solely owned, probate is required to legally transfer them.If assets are jointly owned, probate is not needed, and the co-owner retains full ownership.If a trust is in place, assets can be distributed per the trust's instructions without probate, saving time and legal fees.After probate (or if it's not required), the final steps include distributing personal belongings and assets, closing remaining accounts, and handling final taxes. Supporting family members emotionally and financially is also critical, as unexpected financial burdens can arise even with the best planning.The best way to ease this process is by planning ahead. Having an updated will or trust, maintaining a list of financial accounts and key documents, using a password vault, and discussing final wishes with loved ones can help ensure a smooth transition. Regularly reviewing beneficiary designations on accounts and property is also essential to prevent unintended complications.While this is a difficult conversation, taking steps now can relieve significant stress later.

Bio Moiz Doriwala is a seasoned professional with a diverse background spanning real estate finance, investment, and entrepreneurship .... Growing up in Naperville, Illinois, his interest in real estate was sparked by his father's career as a general contractor and developer. He pursued higher education, earning a Bachelor of Arts degree in Economics from the University of Chicago and an MBA in Finance and Management and Strategy from Northwestern University's Kellogg Graduate School of Management. His early career began in the finance sector with a unique rotational program at Bank One (later JP Morgan Chase), where he gained experience in asset-backed securities trading, commercial loan workouts, leveraged leasing, and even worked in a strategic group under Jamie Dimon. He further honed his investment banking skills in the Financial Sponsor Group of J.P. Morgan Securities in New York, focusing on M&A transactions and various financing activities. In 2005, Mr. Doriwala transitioned to the real estate industry, joining S&R Land Development, LLC in Reston, VA, where he was involved in the development of residential and commercial land. Leveraging his financial acumen and real estate exposure, he later became Vice President of Perseus Realty Capital, LLC, specializing in joint venture equity, preferred equity, and mezzanine financings. In 2008, Mr. Doriwala formed his own umbrella company, Stirling Realty Advisors, LLC, a boutique real estate investment bank that provides financial advisory services, primarily focusing on raising debt and equity capital for real estate developers and operators nationwide. While initially focused on capital raising, Stirling has evolved into a vehicle for his various investment activities. Under the Stirling umbrella, Mr. Doriwala manages and invests in several businesses, including: Bookhill Park: An entity that manages a series of small funds and operates as a finance company, providing opportunistic lending across various industries and geographies Investments in mental health and behavioral health businesses Investments in one off LPs in apartment projects His role as President of Superior Living Foundation Inc., a 501c3 non-profit focused on owning businesses in the healthcare region, such as senior housing and behavioral health facilities1 .... Mr. Doriwala also has experience in the senior housing sector, having served as Treasurer for Meridian Senior Living .... Additionally, he was involved in the mobile home park business for a number of years through BHP, building and eventually exiting a portfolio of parks.

[1:29:55] Priorities of family, work, and giving back: Family is paramount with a focus on spending time with his children. Strong emphasis on giving back in the education space, both domestically and internationally. [1:30:30] Supporting various educational organizations.

ISO consultancy isn't a field many aspire to enter, mostly because many don't know it exists until you're tasked with either managing an existing ISO Management System or implementing a brand new one. We're continuing with our latest mini-series where we introduce members of our team, to explore how they fell into the world of ISO and discuss the common challenges they face while helping clients achieve ISO certification. In this episode we introduce Sarah Ball, a Senior Isologist® at Blackmores, to learn about her journey towards becoming an ISO Consultant and what drives her to help clients on their ISO journey. You'll learn · What is Sarah's role at Blackmores? · What does Sarah enjoy outside of consultancy? · What path did Sarah take to become an ISO Consultant? · What is the biggest challenge she's faced when implementing ISO Standards? · What is Sarah's biggest achievement? Resources · Isologyhub · Productivity Ninja In this episode, we talk about: [00:30] Episode Summary – We introduce Sarah Ball, a Senior Isologist® here at Blackmores, to discuss her journey towards becoming an ISO consultant who specialises in ISO 9001, ISO 45001, ISO 14001 and ISO 27001. [03:45] What is Sarah's role at Blackmores? Sarah is a Senior Isologist® with Blackmores, supporting companies with maintaining systems, undertaking internal audits, and supporting with implementing new systems to gain certification utilising our Isology methodology. Sarah also coordinates the development of content of our online learning platform, the isologyhub. [04:50] What does Sarah enjoy doing outside of consultancy?: Sarah has a keen interest in history, having studied it at school, she like to travel to various locations of historical interest. She also spends a lot of time researching her own family tree, learning as much as she can about the far reaching members of the past. Sarah also likes to go jogging outside, as the gym environment didn't inspire much enjoyment, she instead prefers to be in nature while exercising. She has also participated in long distance running for charity, completing the 10k Race for Life. She's taking on the more daunting muddy 5K version this year, which includes a number of obstacles, so we're wishing her luck! One of the new hobbies she's like to take up this year include mountain climbing, with Mount Snowdon on her to-do list. [06:35] What was Sarah's path towards becoming an ISO Consultant?: Sarah initially started in Customer Services, working as a customer service advisor in a company and then got promoted to manager of a team. At that point, her role became more about understanding why they were getting certain complaints and what could be done to prevent them happening rather than just resolving them. She ended up spending more time with suppliers and other departments to help prevent some of the recurring issues, and along the line it lead onto being asked to implement an ISO 9001 Quality Management System. Which was a tall request considering the fact that at the time, Sarah knew nothing about ISO 9001 outside of it's designation and area of focus. As a result, she spent a lot of time researching it, and had the help of an external consultant to Implement the Management System. This was necessary, as knowing how to apply it to a business was something that she needed support with. 2 years later, the company asked Sarah to implement an ISO 45001 Health & Safety management system and an ISO 14001 environmental management system. These two she implemented herself after getting a feel for it during the initial quality management system implementation. For the next 10 years, Sarah worked in other companies, assisting with their integrated management systems. Along the way, she also picked up on ISO 27001 Information Security, before landing in Blackmores in 2020. [09:10] A path people fall onto – Most people don't actively plan to get into ISO consultancy, it's usually a result of being tasked with managing or implementing a management system while working in another role. [10:10] What is Sarah's favourite aspect of being a Consultant? – Sarah enjoys the variety, not just in the work and tasks but in the companies and industries that she gets to work with. Each have their own way of working, unique approaches and knowledge nuggets in the form of ways of working that can be cherry picked and applied elsewhere. She also likes to see how a management system develops and evolves overtime and how it can become part of a company's success, driving continual improvement. Sarah enjoys working with people that can see the real benefits of ISO management systems, rather than just focusing on the certificate on the wall. [13:40] Making a Management System your own – Sarah is a big proponent of making a Management system your own, giving it an identity so that it can be fully integrated into the way a business works. Businesses do it all the time, usually by naming large projects that everyone can reference by a common shorthand. A Management System can work in the same way, making it a part of the day-to-day running of the business. She's also a fan of not worrying about the terminology in Standards. Many of the terms used are meant to be general, this was due to the way international audiences referred to certain aspects of management, it wouldn't always translate correctly. So many Standards have some admittedly awkward terminology that can be applied to any business, and you by no means have to use their wording, as long as you can explain what relates to what in an audit then you're free to name things as appropriate to you. [16:55] What Standards does Sarah specilaise in and why? Starting with: · ISO 9001 Quality: This is the main standard that Sarah starting working with, and is one that touches on a lot of areas within other Standards. It's a great base to build off of, and is the starting point for many venturing into the world of ISO. · ISO 14001 Environmental: Sarah got experience with this Standard at her first company, it's also commonly implemented alongside ISO 9001. · ISO 45001 Health & Safety: Another one of the first Standards Sarah implemented, it's also a common one to see in integrated management systems. · ISO 27001 Information Security: Sarah got to grips with this Standard through years of working with other companies. Sarah's favourite Standard is ISO 9001, not only because it was her first experience with implementing ISO Standards, but because it create a blueprint for success. ISO Standards are setting the minimum requirement, not the maximum, they are designed get you started so you can make continual improvements. It also acts as a foundation to build onto, you can pick aspects of other Standards to integrate into your existing system. You don't necessarily have to certify to those additional Standards, but nothing is stopping you from strengthening your Management System with the best bits from other ISO's. [21:00] Sarah's favourite clause in ISO 9001: Sarah personally favors Clause 10 – non-conformity and corrective action. The reason behind that choice is due to that clauses' importance in driving continual improvement. It's about taking something negative being turned into a positive, which is what Quality Management is at it's core. [22:05] What is the biggest challenge Sarah had faced during a project and how did he overcome it?: Molding the Standard to the business. As a consultant, the biggest challenge is understanding how to make the requirements of a Standard fit the business, and not the other way round. It's all about trying to align the ISO Standard requirements to their values and mission, and then getting people on board with understanding the true benefits of management system implementation. At Blackmores, we ensure that each management system is unique to each business. We don't operate with a copy paste model. This is another reason why Sarah encourages naming your management system, by branding it you encourage engagement. Sarah highlights the fact that we run a lot of workshops in the initial part of a project, conducting a Gap Analysis, SWOT and PESTLE ect, this helps our consultants to really get a feel for how a business ticks. From that, we can help steer the delivery of the Management System to the wider business, by building it into their existing tools, such as an intranet. [25:45] Leading by example: We revamped our own ISO 9001 Management System a few years ago, with both Rachel Churchman and Sarah Ball leading the refresh. We gave it a name, H20 (How 2 Operate) and integrated it with our Microsoft Teams channels as we'd all swapped to mostly remote work following the COVID pandemic in 2020. As Sarah points out, there are many different ways to display and deliver your management system, including: · Microsoft Teams · Intranet · Google / Google Drive · SharePoint · CRM's such as Monday.com The key is building it into the day-to-day tools everyone uses. Make the Management System part of your processes, so adhering and maintaining it becomes part of everyone's way of working. [28:55] What is Sarah's proudest achievement? Obtaining her degree through the Open University while still working full time. It took Sarah 8 years of hard work to obtain her honours degree in History, which was one not required by her work or career development. It was simply something she wanted to do to prove to herself that she could achieve it. Many other members of Blackmores can attest to Sarah's level of determination, and organisation, as she shares many tips and techniques learned from her years of study and work. This includes: The Productivity Ninja – Learned from Graham Allcott's book, which seeks to help reduce procrastination, and tackle tasks with efficiency. The Second Brain – A tool to help keep track of ideas / tasks that aren't an immediate priority. These tools are now used by a number of the team, and we have no doubt Sarah will be schooling us on more techniques in future.

Dr. Jyotsna Shah, PhD, is the President and Laboratory Director of IGeneX, a leading Lyme disease testing laboratory. With over 40 years of research experience in immunology, molecular biology, and microbiology, she holds more than 20 patents. Dr. Shah's journey in Lyme disease research began at Harvard University, and she has since played a pivotal role in advancing diagnostic tools for tick-borne diseases. Under her leadership, IGeneX has developed innovative testing methods, including the first Fluorescent In Situ Hybridization (FISH) test for Babesia. Key Takeaways: IGeneX is considered the premier Lyme disease testing lab by the patient community due to the positive outcomes patients experience. Dr. Shah's early exposure to Lyme disease research at Harvard University and a personal connection through a colleague led her to focus her career on this field. The development of the Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization (FISH) technique was a crucial factor in Dr. Shah's decision to pursue Lyme disease research. Navigating the clinical lab management aspect of IGeneX was an unexpected challenge, but Dr. Shah worked closely with state inspectors to ensure the lab's safety and trustworthiness. Obtaining insurance coverage for IGeneX's specialized tests has been an ongoing challenge, but the lab's focus on patient outcomes has earned it the trust of the Lyme disease community.

It's not uncommon for successful high school students to get to college and find themselves hit with the reality that their former education wasn't nearly sufficient enough to help them feel confident and equipped for the rigorous academics that lay in front of them. For others, this process of pursuing a degree can be infinitely more daunting with any undiagnosed mental health conditions, as was the case for today's Success is Subjective guest, Dr. Bianca Busch. While Dr. Bianca is now an esteemed psychiatrist with many accomplishments under her belt - career, personal, and academic - she fought hard… harder than many to get to where she is now. After years of struggling through college, knowing she wanted to go to medical school but having a very difficult time with the sciences, Dr. Bianca was encouraged by a boss and mentor to get testing done. The test results helped Dr. Bianca understand herself better and gave her a confidence boost that encouraged her to continue her education. With a new understanding of how her brain works, a huge perspective shifted for her: she realized she wasn't stupid, as she once felt, but rather, she needed a different approach to her studies. Now as the founder of The College Psychiatrist, and author of Test Anxiety No More, Dr. Bianca Busch brings the desperately needed morale boost to college students and their families. This episode is deeply enriched with wisdom, perspective, and numerous resources for listeners to cling to.Dr. Bianca's Resources:The College Psychiatrist Test Anxiety No More Etsy Care Package for College Students Instagram: @collegepsychiatrist Facebook: The College Psychiatrist TikTok: @collegepsychiatristLinkedIn: The College Psychiatrist Connect with Joanna Lilley Therapeutic Consulting AssociationLilley Consulting WebsiteLilley Consulting on Facebook Lilley Consulting on YouTubeEmail joanna@lilleyconsulting.com#TherapeuticConsulting #LilleyConsulting #Successful #YoungAdults #TherapeuticPrograms #Therapy #MentalHealthMatters #Podcast #PodcastCommunity #StudentMentalHealth #TheJourney #SuccessIsSubjectivePodcast #TheUnpavedRoad #PFCAudioVideo #DrBiancaBusch #TestAnxietyNoMore #ADHD #Anxiety #TheCollegePsychiatrist #Procrastination #StudyTips #CollegeLife

Check your faith before you wreck your faith. God is calling us to refocus back on the Lord and what He would have you to be focused on. Rev 12:22 / Josh 1:1-9 / James 1:2-6 / Ps 34:16-19 / John 16:33 / 2Tim 1:3-14
Hebrews 4:14-16 So much of contemporary Christianity is built on hype, but the problem with hype is that it gets you nowhere because hype has no foundation. God has given us three-quarters of a million words of solid text upon which to base our confidence so that our faith is not found flapping in the wind. In this sermon, we consider Jesus as our High Priest and the promise that is given us to come boldly to the throne of grace to obtain mercy and find help in times of need.

"Obtaining an Honorable Biblical Title" | Luke 9:23-26 | Brother Mark Fennell

Today, a bit of a hypothetical that is really not hypothetical at all, though we'll withhold names with multiple court cases pending. But consider the scenario: You engage with a broker you feel you know is legitimate for a load of copper moving toward the Northeast. You drop that load for $1,600, you ultimately get paid, and you go on about your business to the next piece of freight. Meanwhile, though, the same load of copper is being rebooked by the same “broker” – note the scare quotes, certainly safe use them in this scenario. The “broker” contracts with yet another owner to move the copper west to the center of the country, whereupon that owner drops the cargo and goes along his own merry way. Yet again, the “broker” now has another owner-operator in his sites for the third move of the copper, this time with a destination in the Los Angeles area. The operator who picks this load up, though (promised a handsome rate for his work), along the way gets a good indication of just where the "broker" wants to send him. It's no kind of manufacturer who needs the coiled, finished copper for their products, rather the address for what looks to be the kind of place where old cars and trucks and scrap metal of various kinds are sent to die, to be reprocessed -- a salvage yard, in essence. This operator obeys his spidey senses and calls the cops, opening a case that then winds its way back to the origin of the copper in the rural Southeast, where a rural detective IDs and then orders you, the owner-operator who picked up the load to begin with, arrested. You land in jail in your home region, spending several nights locked up before being bonded out for $50K. The original crooks -- the “broker” on the load, likely impersonating a legitimate entity or otherwise part of a double-brokering ring of authorized entities -- meanwhile get to sit at their computers wherever they might be and keep up the "good" work. You and your leasing carrier face scheduled court dates that come and go, ongoing discussion amongst defense and prosecution, with no resolution to your charge. When we first learned of a particular case fitting these parameters back late last summer, the arrest had just happened, with a September court date scheduled, which was then pushed to October. None of those court dates held for the owner, and still, there's been no resolution as efforts to untangle the scheme continue. The charge? "Obtaining property by false pretenses in excess of $100,000," apparently for falling for a fake broker's representation of himself as legitimate as he schemes with an unknown number of actually knowing accomplices to steal the copper. How's that for personal risk? Today on the podcast, a conversation with cargo-theft security firm Overhaul's Danny Ramon about just what that company's seeing in the so-called “strategic theft” landscape around the nation. That's the kind of theft described in the scenario above, often with multiple layers of deception and misrepresentation involved to use entirely legitimate, unwitting operations to steal hot commodities. As mentioned in the podcast: **Alex Lockie's recent story about the FraudWatch system from Overhaul: https://overdriveonline.com/15737195 **Transportation attorney Hank Seaton's "Supply chain protocol": https://overdriveonline.com/15302784

Rochelle Thielen is the dynamic CEO of Traject Data, where she champions the vital role of data aggregation in driving transformative advancements in AI, machine learning, and software development. Obtaining clean, granular data is a major challenge for many companies, as data can be outdated, inconsistent, or siloed across different systems. This makes it difficult to make informed business decisions, especially when using AI and machine learning. Traject Data helps clients set up API feeds to get real-time data updates on things like product availability, pricing changes, and where their products are being sold across channels. This enables them to make faster, more accurate decisions. The data Traject provides can be used for a variety of use cases, like preventing fraud and unauthorized reselling, as well as optimizing SEO and marketing strategies as search and shopping behaviors evolve. Maintaining a consistent, high-quality customer experience across all touchpoints is critical for retention. Leveraging the right data can help brands predict customer needs and serve them more relevant content and offers. There is no one-size-fits-all approach, as brands need to balance data-driven personalization with respecting customer privacy. Ongoing testing and adjustment is required as consumer expectations continue to shift. Episode Timestamps: 2:00 - Rochelle's background and introduction to Traject Data 5:00 - The challenges of working with messy, outdated data 10:00 - Using real-time data to prevent issues like unfulfilled orders 15:00 - Leveraging data to combat fraud and unauthorized reselling 20:00 - How data and AI are changing SEO and marketing strategies 25:00 - Balancing data-driven personalization with customer privacy 30:00 - The importance of clean data for improving the customer journey
Key Takeaways:The commercial real estate job market is challenging, especially in sectors like development. Factors like high interest rates, construction costs, and cautious banks make new development projects difficult.Leasing and asset management roles may be relatively stronger than sales/brokerage, which has seen significant declines in transaction volume.Building relationships, especially with commercial real estate brokers, is crucial when trying to break into the industry. Networking and persistence are key.Obtaining specialized knowledge through courses, certifications, and mentorship can make you a more attractive candidate, but relationships are often more important than just credentials.Creative financing strategies like using investor capital, seller financing, and leveraging existing assets can help overcome the barrier of limited personal capital when getting started in commercial real estate.
