1 And Jesus entered and passed through Jericho. 2 And, behold, there was a man named Zacchaeus, which was the chief among the publicans, and he was rich. 3 And he sought to see Jesus who he was; and could not for the press, because he was little of stature. 4 And he ran before, and climbed up into a sycomore tree to see him: for he was to pass that way. 5 And when Jesus came to the place, he looked up, and saw him, and said unto him, Zacchaeus, make haste, and come down; for to day I must abide at thy house. 6 And he made haste, and came down, and received him joyfully. 7 And when they saw it, they all murmured, saying, That he was gone to be guest with a man that is a sinner. 8 And Zacchaeus stood, and said unto the Lord; Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have taken any thing from any man by false accusation, I restore him fourfold. 9 And Jesus said unto him, This day is salvation come to this house, forsomuch as he also is a son of Abraham. 10 For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost. 11 And as they heard these things, he added and spake a parable, because he was nigh to Jerusalem, and because they thought that the kingdom of God should immediately appear. 12 He said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return. 13 And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them, Occupy till I come. 14 But his citizens hated him, and sent a message after him, saying, We will not have this man to reign over us. 15 And it came to pass, that when he was returned, having received the kingdom, then he commanded these servants to be called unto him, to whom he had given the money, that he might know how much every man had gained by trading. 16 Then came the first, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained ten pounds. 17 And he said unto him, Well, thou good servant: because thou hast been faithful in a very little, have thou authority over ten cities. 18 And the second came, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained five pounds. 19 And he said likewise to him, Be thou also over five cities. 20 And another came, saying, Lord, behold, here is thy pound, which I have kept laid up in a napkin: 21 For I feared thee, because thou art an austere man: thou takest up that thou layedst not down, and reapest that thou didst not sow. 22 And he saith unto him, Out of thine own mouth will I judge thee, thou wicked servant. Thou knewest that I was an austere man, taking up that I laid not down, and reaping that I did not sow: 23 Wherefore then gavest not thou my money into the bank, that at my coming I might have required mine own with usury? 24 And he said unto them that stood by, Take from him the pound, and give it to him that hath ten pounds. 25 (And they said unto him, Lord, he hath ten pounds.) 26 For I say unto you, That unto every one which hath shall be given; and from him that hath not, even that he hath shall be taken away from him. 27 But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me. 28 And when he had thus spoken, he went before, ascending up to Jerusalem. 29 And it came to pass, when he was come nigh to Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount called the mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples, 30 Saying, Go ye into the village over against you; in the which at your entering ye shall find a colt tied, whereon yet never man sat: loose him, and bring him hither. 31 And if any man ask you, Why do ye loose him? thus shall ye say unto him, Because the Lord hath need of him. 32 And they that were sent went their way, and found even as he had said unto them. 33 And as they were loosing the colt, the owners thereof said unto them, Why loose ye the colt? 34 And they said, The Lord hath need of him. 35 And they brought him to Jesus: and they cast their garments upon the colt, and they set Jesus thereon. 36 And as he went, they spread their clothes in the way. 37 And when he was come nigh, even now at the descent of the mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works that they had seen; 38 Saying, Blessed be the King that cometh in the name of the Lord: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest. 39 And some of the Pharisees from among the multitude said unto him, Master, rebuke thy disciples. 40 And he answered and said unto them, I tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out. 41 And when he was come near, he beheld the city, and wept over it, 42 Saying, If thou hadst known, even thou, at least in this thy day, the things which belong unto thy peace! but now they are hid from thine eyes. 43 For the days shall come upon thee, that thine enemies shall cast a trench about thee, and compass thee round, and keep thee in on every side, 44 And shall lay thee even with the ground, and thy children within thee; and they shall not leave in thee one stone upon another; because thou knewest not the time of thy visitation. 45 And he went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold therein, and them that bought; 46 Saying unto them, It is written, My house is the house of prayer: but ye have made it a den of thieves. 47 And he taught daily in the temple. But the chief priests and the scribes and the chief of the people sought to destroy him, 48 And could not find what they might do: for all the people were very attentive to hear him.

Latest episode from Spoken Label (Author / Artist / Spoken Word) Podcast features Peter Humphreys, author off "Hong Kong Rocks" and Podcast host off "First Impressions". Hong Kong Rocks is described as "Nick Powell, arriving in Hong Kong with his soon-to-be-ex-wife Lennox, finds himself drawn into the political machinations affecting the city as the Occupy movement takes root. A fatal accident exposes the factions vying for control of the SAR and gives Nick the second chance desired by many Hong Kong expats, but will he make the most of the opportunity, or find himself on the wrong side of history? Shifting between a variety of unique voices, HONG KONG ROCKS (a Proverse Prize 2018 finalist) is part thriller, part meditation on the challenges facing a special autonomous region punching above its weight. "'Hong Kong Rocks' is a story set in an alternative present; it is in part a whodunit, with the who and the it constantly in doubt. At the centre is a group of dissolute, middle-aged, expatriates, who are held more or less upright, or let fall by surer, stronger women. Dissolution, however, has its consequences, in conflict with either the newly introduced Deportation Act, or two cross-border goons, or both. And, as the tale reaches its finale, we cannot but agree with the narrator that Hong Kong is 'hotting up'."—Philip Chatting, author of "The Snow Bridge and Other Stories", Winner of the Proverse Prize 2014. "Funny and twisted, in Humphreys' spirited novel Nick and a garrulous band of expats are caught in the shifting societal landscape of Hong Kong. Nights drinking at the Brolly, missing friends, the Occupy movement, fear of deportation and the threat of discovery by Chinese agents, all loom large. As his freedom hangs on the edge of a precipice, Nick seizes on the absurdities, secrets and joys of a life lived with regret."—Maria Roberts, author of "Single Mother on the Verge", Penguin." Peter can be spoke to via https://www.instagram.com/theworddiver/ His Podcast 'First Impressions' can be found on all of the usual places. Hong Kong Rocks is available on amazon and all the usual places.

The period from 1992-2012 was the golden age of the anti-globalization left.

9/11/22 message from Pastor Ralph Royea We were told to... "Occupy till I come" That doesn't mean to rest on your Blessed Assurance. Join us, and... Together, we will work through what it really means to "Occupy" And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them, Occupy till I come.

An essential life skill of a Supercock is having total control over his ejaculation. He is a marathon f**ker who can go for hours if he chooses to. Being a man who knows how to separate orgasm from ejaculation? THIS is probably the ultimate Supercock achievement. Yes, it's totally possible. The Anami Guarantee states that:All men can have rock solid erections into their 90s, master their orgasmic control and be able to go for an hour, three hours and all night if they wish. And. All men can learn to separate orgasm from ejaculation. I guarantee it. This is something I teach in my Sexual Mastery for Men Salon. In today's All Star interview, we're speaking with Steve. Steve mastered this practice in two weeks. In today's episode:  Why does it matter? Ancient Taoist and Tantric wisdom, NoFap and “Don't have sex before the big game!” all add up to something.  How to feel energized after sex rather than needing a nap.  Steve talks about going from coming after 10 minutes of penetration to now having multiple orgasms, being able to have 10 to 15 orgasms in a row, and separating orgasms from ejaculation. Short sessions are now an hour and longer ones are 3+ hours on the weekends.  In my signature 8-week online salon Sexual Mastery for MEN, you can learn how to:  Achieve superstar stamina and be a marathon f**ker.  Learn to separate orgasm from ejaculation  Take that sexual creative power and manifest in your life with it  Give your woman multiple G-Spot, cervical and squirting orgasms  Build a Supercock with exercises to increase strength, length and girth  Occupy your alpha, dominant masculine power and take charge in bed and in life And much, much more!  You have weekly videos full of techniques and my well-f**ked secrets, homeplay for singles and couples and weekly live Q&A coaching calls with me!

The knowledge you rejected will hinder you from accessing the abundant life in Christ. The knowledge you don't have, you cannot engage it's potentials and benefits in your life the authority you never know existed, you cannot wield. Jesus meant whatever He says and says what He meant. If you don't take your responsibility at work, church and groups seriously, you are managing nothing but emptiness. Occupy till I come means, nothing must be lost but multiplied. Don't sleep off or get carried away, for the master is retuning very soon, to reward according to the value you have added. If you look at other people's assignment to carry out yours, you will lose and have nothing to manage.

Check it out below: [00:00:00] Chuck Swope: if you want to purchase a warehouse in Chester county, Pennsylvania, where we do a lot of our work suburban Philadelphia and we're all throughout the Mid-Atlantic region New Jersey, Maryland, Delaware, Pennsylvania but anywhere in that region it's very hard to find flex space, 5, 10, 20 5,000, 50,000 feet. It just doesn't exist. [00:00:31] Sam Wilson: Chuck Swope is a commercial real estate broker who focuses on the Mid-Atlantic region. Chuck, welcome to the.  [00:00:37] Chuck Swope: Thanks so much. Thanks for having me, Sam. Hey  [00:00:39] Sam Wilson: man. The pleasure's mine, there are three questions. I ask every guest who comes in the show in 90 seconds or less. Can you tell me, where did you start? Where are you now? And how did you get  [00:00:46] Chuck Swope: there? Sure. I like most people I got into real estate and commercial real estate by accident. I was in graduate school and had worked for a couple of developers. Doing commercial development also residential land acquisition in Philadelphia and the Philadelphia suburbs had an opportunity to get my real estate license. And my first assignment was selling industrial condominiums. That was going on 18 years ago. Give or take. Where am I now I think that was your next question. That's right. Sure. I I worked for a gentleman who I continue to have an immense amount of respect for and after about three and a half, four years, I said, I'm still pretty young. And I'd like to go out and do this on my own. And in 2009, when things were just rosy, as you recall, I took the big plunge and we're still here to talk. Whatever this is 13 or so years later,  [00:01:34] Sam Wilson: 2009, that's a heck of a time to take the plunge into  [00:01:38] Chuck Swope: I didn't have children. I didn't have a whole lot of responsibilities. So, coming outta the great recession, why not?  [00:01:44] Sam Wilson: Right. Take your risks early, man. Yeah. When the consequences are few, , I love that. How have you seen things change? Like have you thought about 2009 market, 2022 market? How are things different  [00:01:57] Chuck Swope: now? Sure. Well, I got into the business in 2005 and again, I had a period of time where I worked in another office 2009, I guess. I really didn't know what, I didn't know. One of the greatest investments I've made in myself is the C cm designation and the education that the CCM Institute offers that immediately catapulted me into a much better broker and a much better resource for my clients. I can't advocate that program enough. Things have absolutely changed the the pricing. I mean, I can't believe I'm even saying this, having, just shy of 20 years in the business. I mean, I've seen values, double flex and industrial buildings that we used to sell for 60, 70, 80 bucks. A foot are now trading $150 a foot. That was one of the things we had talked about early on is just kind of the appreciation that we've seen over the last couple of years, especially in industrial and flex. What else has changed? Technology's obviously changed. We've implemented a lot of technology and advancements, in our small boutique brokerage. We're about a half a dozen folks here. Not a big shop by any means, but we really embrace and invest and look for technology to, to make the client experience better and to make us better brokers. So the technology and ability to work pretty much anywhere and ability to gather information is huge. And we love it. And we're gonna continue to look for new and better and different ways to do things. When you  [00:03:13] Sam Wilson: say technology. Yeah. Remote work. I get that part of it. But when you say gather information, like what information are you guys gathering right now that you feel like maybe you didn't have access to previously? And then how are you leveraging that to make informed decisions?  [00:03:27] Chuck Swope: Sure. Obviously co-star is kind of a thousand pound gorilla in the in the industry. It's kind of a love, hate relationship with them. But they do a good job. They're not shy about their prices. Maybe even unfair. But CoStar has a ton of resources. Even just from a marketing standpoint and kind of the infrastructure we used to run our office. We've made some in updates and investments there. What we used to outsource in terms of marketing brochures and flyers, and all types of offering memorandum and those types of things we're able to within minutes assemble that in our office change things updated. There's a lot more integration on the marketing. side We've got a couple other resources that we really rely on depending on the assignment Remy has been a great resource for us as well. Even just, the advancement in with something as simple as your cell phone. The pictures, I think are second to none. We do hire third party professional photographers, but a lot of times we can just . Grab 'em on our phone and they're Pretty darn good.  [00:04:18] Sam Wilson: That's. That's exactly right. I was talking to somebody about that the other day. And again, all the photographers and people in that industry are probably gonna, delete my show and say, no, you're absolutely wrong. Which, I love what they do, but I was talking, my wife was like, this is. This is a, I mean, your phone takes amazing photos, like for  [00:04:32] Chuck Swope: something that's quick and dirty and kind of routine. Now. Now, like I said, we do outsource things. Yeah. But kind of the day to day is for what we do is perfectly acceptable to use your phone for sure. And I also through the pandemic had really shifted and embraced more of an online presence and I've got, I don't know, maybe 50 or a hundred LinkedIn videos out there. I'm constantly adding. And the technology that you carry around in your pocket, enables you to take a video, upload it to LinkedIn and really make an impact. And sure enough, when I put a video out the phone rings for the next couple days, I call it dumb luck or whatever, but it's and I've been told I have a face for radio. Just little kind of little tweaks like that. Just embrace technology. Technology's a mixed blessing. It's not everything right. But it certainly does enhance certain areas of the business without a doubt.  [00:05:18] Sam Wilson: Yep. Absolutely true. I love that. Thanks for giving some very tangible products and things that you  [00:05:22] Chuck Swope: guys are doing. One, one other thing I want to highlight for those of you who do use the iPhone. And I know it's kind of two different cultures, iPhone, and I guess Android. Yeah, I'm not I'm and by the way, I'm not much of a tech guy. If you go into the notes section of your iPhone, there is a part of that application that allows you to scan full size plans. I can't tell you how many times I've been in, in a building. Somebody says I have these plans, they're 30 years old and I will never let 'em out on my possession. I said, do you mind if I just roll 'em out, we're gonna put 'em right here on the floor, put a stapler, on either end to hold it. And you can take a scan of a full size plan, 24 by 36. I had no idea it's in the notes section of your if you use an iPhone, if you go into notes, that's a huge little tip. Just go to a new document and then take the picture and you can do scan documents. You can get pretty darn good quality without ever taking that, that hard copy out of that building.  [00:06:17] Sam Wilson: That's cool. There you go. That's an active tip and trick right there. Folks. I, had  [00:06:20] Chuck Swope: not heard that you can do that today. You can do that today.  [00:06:23] Sam Wilson: That is very cool. Let's transition here. Chuck, I got questions about where you see, I mean, you guys are active brokers in the MidAtlantic region. Tell me, where do you see opportunity and then where do you see risks in the market  [00:06:35] Chuck Swope: right now? Risks. I think in certain segments in certain sectors the prices are definitely getting frosty. That being said if you want to purchase a warehouse in Chester county, Pennsylvania, where we do a lot of our work suburban Philadelphia and we're all throughout the Mid-Atlantic region New Jersey, Maryland, Delaware, Pennsylvania but anywhere in that region it's very hard to find flex space, 5, 10, 20 5,000, 50,000 feet. It just doesn't exist. And the cost to create that is high and therefore the price to purchase a building like that, or even the price to lease it is on the high side. I think at some point there's gonna be a correction. I have no idea when but prices are up and that's just the reality of the market we're in right now. For somebody with a five plus year horizon who's going to consider purchasing a building. I don't know that matters a whole lot that interest rates have gone up, but they're still relatively low. I'm not old enough to remember, the 18 and 20% rates of the early eighties. I was alive then, but I was. In the business. But the, when I remember six, seven, 8% interest rates, not that long ago, and that was sustain. Yeah,  [00:07:41] Sam Wilson: well, that's really interesting.  [00:07:42] Chuck Swope: So, so I think just to kind of close that thought, I think that, real estate is a tool and it's a vehicle for somebody to conduct business, whether they're at a professional services, accounting law firm, doctor's office, or whether they're warehousing product it's one piece and it's a vehicle to conduct that business. And, I think it's important that. Occupy and utilizer that real estate, looks at it in a bigger picture. Yes. Prices are up, interest rates are up, but you need someplace to run your business.  [00:08:07] Sam Wilson: Right. Right. And there's that question out there is, do prices ever go back down or normalize maybe at, I think at best maybe normalizes what we get  [00:08:16] Chuck Swope: we've printed. I think you're gonna see some softening. I don't think you're gonna see the bottom fall out. I just fundamentally don't think that's something that's gonna. Right.  [00:08:25] Sam Wilson: Right. and I don't see how it could, I mean, we've printed so much money that, I mean, it's gonna chase yield and it's in the system at this point and it's like the money's gotta go somewhere. It's the likelihood that those prices go back down, I think is limited. Tell me this, we talked about this a little bit off off air before we kicked off this show. What is an asset class you see, picking up right now and why?  [00:08:47] Chuck Swope: We have interestingly and we're, we're a small boutique firm but we've seen some office deals. I don't wanna say I was surprise to see them happen, but we're definitely seeing life in the office market without a doubt. I think work from home is convenient. I think work from home has a place. But it's also very difficult to bring bring on a new associate, to build a culture, to build a team around work from home. It's certainly convenient for us. Being a couple hundred miles apart to have this zoom call. Right. But I wouldn't wanna work like this every single day. Right. Right. So, so I would say if anything I think office is proving to be interesting.  [00:09:20] Sam Wilson: Is there opportunities to buy there at a discount right now? [00:09:25] Chuck Swope: It all depends on which what size and sector and the motivation of the owner and or landlord or seller yes. There's opportunities, but they would. In, at least in my experience it's maybe not as ripe as you would think. Because there is a market there and there is activity and there is demand. Yeah. Yeah.  [00:09:42] Sam Wilson: No, you hit it on the head there. You said it's not as ripe as I might think. I'm not in the office sector or office space, but it's something where I would've. Thought that there might be some really low hanging fruit there. And you're saying that's maybe  [00:09:52] Chuck Swope: necessary, not the case, at least where we are. I would say there's opportunities there to lease or purchase office space. And I would still say that's, either the buyer or the tenants market. But that's slowly shifting. And there's just not a lot of new supply coming online and the supply that's out there has been picked over and you've got some well healed landlords that, expect to get a reasonable return and they're in a position. They can wait for that.  [00:10:14] Sam Wilson: What are you recommending? I know this is asset class. I'd probably borrow or specific question. So maybe it's an unfair one, but what are you recommending on the debt side of things? What do you see people doing? And then what do you guess recommended to your  [00:10:26] Chuck Swope: clients? So we do a tremendous amount of owner occupied real estate.  We, we do investment real estate as well, but we also work with a lot of owner occupy. I think anybody who occupies real estate should consider owning it. I'm not saying everybody should own it, but anybody who occupies real estate for their place of business should consider owning it. One of the biggest tools that we push as a company or advocate for, I shouldn't say push, but, bring that awareness to the table is the SBA loan program. Everybody hears SBA and they think government and a bunch of bureaucracy and red tape. And I'm not gonna say there's not any. However we do, I don't know how many, a couple dozen SBA loans a year through our office and the process is not that much worse than conventional bank financing. There's two big things. In my opinion, the SBA offers to borrowers and that is 90% loan to value. And that includes the real estate, the improvements, fixtures, kind of everything in one. So you're coming outta pocket less. You're keeping that money on your balance sheet. I think most cases, a responsible thing for a business owner to look at. The other thing is that the SBA loans are fixed for 25 years. Unfortunately the ship has sailed on the really great deals that they were having, but back during COVID and after COVID. You were getting fixed money for 25 years, three, three and a half percent, three in change. Now, keep in mind that SBA piece is a portion of that 90%. It's of the 90% your bank will do 50% and the SBA will be 40. So, but roughly half of our little less than half of that loan is fixed for 25 years, which is a gift. Right.  [00:12:04] Sam Wilson: Yeah, absolutely. Absolutely. Yeah. And is there a particular size of bank? I know I've I've dealt with this a little bit where the project size was either too big for the bank that I was talking to, or that maybe somebody else was talking to where they said, man, we could use the yes, but they just didn't understand. I guess the nuance,  [00:12:21] Chuck Swope: My father was a community banker here in Chester county and I just have a special place in my heart for community and regional banks. We work with the big banks. They certainly have their time in their place, but I would always encourage someone to speak with a local community bank as well. [00:12:35] Sam Wilson: Yeah, no, that's absolutely true. What about timing on the SBA loans? I've heard that they take longer to get across the finish line through an SBA loan. Is  [00:12:44] Chuck Swope: that not true? Not necessarily. Okay. It is important to understand that they are for intended for owner occupied real estate. So it's not investment real estate owner occupied, broadly defined by the SBAs occupying 51% of the building or more  the timing and the process is not much different. There's a couple extra steps I would say for kind of that much more work. You're getting that much more benefit. Right. Especially on the leverage and the term of the loan. So that's something the SBA has two primary commercial real estate loans. The 5 0 4 is more or less the flagship, the SBA 5 0 4. And then the seven a is also another real estate loan program that they have. But it's not anything more than what you would have to provide for a typical lender. Right,  [00:13:25] Sam Wilson: right. No, that's cool. I'm glad to dispel that myth. The gosh it's been for me the last time I used an SBA loan. Ooh. 15 years ago. So it's  [00:13:32] Chuck Swope: been a long time since so you wanna get familiar with the SBA lenders in your area and have these conversations front and, you want to air your concerns up front as well. Right,  [00:13:42] Sam Wilson: right. No, that's really that's. That's great. Absolutely great advice. We've talked a little bit about office picking up, we've talked about flex industrial. We've talked a little bit about risk. We've talked something some about financing and programs that are out there that maybe everybody's not utilizing, I guess. Is there anything else you see in the market or risks you see in the market or opportunities?  [00:14:00] Chuck Swope: Just, yeah, just one thing I wanna touch on. Yeah. And, rates of in, in this market, they've gone from you. Four and a quarter four and a half up to, five and a half, 5, 7, 5. Right. And some people have a very strong reaction to that, but I just wanna provide some context and some perspective if the deal was so tight that it doesn't work with a point difference or a point and change. If you can't make the deal work at 5.5%. But it works at four and a half percent. That was never a good deal to begin with. Right. It's just too tight. If you can't afford your mortgage or you can't make your numbers working as an investor. And you've got that, increase in interest rates, it was a deal that, that never should have happened in the first place. Yeah, , let's keep perspective and keep context. That's  [00:14:47] Sam Wilson: a great point. I like that a lot. I like that a lot because yeah, people are panicking. You hear like, oh my gosh, like we can't make this work. Or like you said, that's the deal was never a good deal in the  [00:14:57] Chuck Swope: first. It wasn't a good deal to begin with. [00:14:59] Sam Wilson: Right? Yeah. Yeah. And that's keep that. Yeah. That's keeping people probably out of trouble.  [00:15:03] Chuck Swope: So that's yeah. And that's fine. People shouldn't do deals that aren't good deals. Right, right. But if you're so light on your equity in the deal or. That change, in the mortgage payment makes that meaningful of a difference. It was never a good deal to begin with, in my opinion,  [00:15:18] Sam Wilson: if you were to give advice. Yeah. And I couldn't agree with you more last question here for you. If you were to give advice to someone who was just now scaling into commercial real estate, and they said, man, I'm really anxious to get it. Get in. What advice would you give them out of the gate  [00:15:34] Chuck Swope: as a broker or as an investor or as investor? I'll put myself out of business with this advice, but I would go take a couple CCIM classes. If I was a new investor, , you can start with the intro, which is two days or go through all four courses. The 1 0 1 is the flagship, but I would go sign up for cm class, do it online or in person, or I think there's hybrids as well. That's what I would do if I was giving advice.  [00:15:58] Sam Wilson: Wow. What would someone expect to benefit or get out of going through those classes?  [00:16:04] Chuck Swope: So I don't have a background in finance or I should say I came into the industry without a background in finance. I have a bachelor's degree and a master's in environmental studies. And I understood numbers. I understood mortgage payments and things like that. But the CCM program will allow you to take deals apart from front to back, back to front change all types of different variables and, manipulate your projections based on, more equity,  to me, it really just allows you to understand every single variable in the deal. That's  [00:16:31] Sam Wilson: really cool. That's not advice I've received yet here on the show. Certainly appreciate that.  [00:16:35] Chuck Swope: And if you don't have your C M Sam, I want you to go out and sign up today. I don't,  [00:16:40] Sam Wilson: I actually don't. I need to, I need to heed what you're telling me and go get that. Go get the  [00:16:44] Chuck Swope: education. The education is second to none. It's cheap. They should charge more for the courses. Right.  [00:16:50] Sam Wilson: right. That's awesome. I love that. Thanks for that. That that pointer there, that's something, actually, I was writing it down like, okay. One on one class CCIM. Doesn't just  [00:16:57] Chuck Swope: do, just start with the intro. It's two days. I don't know how they do it now, but when I took it, 15 years ago, it was two days. It's probably I do it online. You probably do it online. You can do it. Yeah, but how do you know if a deal's a good deal or not? Well, back up from there? It depends on the investor's objectives, right? But if somebody says I want cash on cash, or I want IRR, or I want, whatever it is that they want, I want to complete this exchange and then refinance in the future. It allows you to, to slice and dice all those different variables. That's awesome. I love that. I love that efficiently.  [00:17:31] Sam Wilson: That's yeah, there's the key point there's slice and dice them efficiently. Chuck certainly enjoyed having you on the show today. Thank you for coming on and just, yeah. Give us your thoughts on the market where op or opportunities are where risks are. We talked about the CCIM designation and going through the 1 0 1 class. You even taught us how to scan scan prints and things like that right there, right here, right there from your iPhone. So that's fantastic. Certainly appreciate it. If our listeners wanna get in touch with you, learn more about you or see what what you guys have in the pipeline. What is the best way  [00:17:58] Chuck Swope: to do that? SW lees.com S w O P E L E s.com or I'm Chuck at SW please, or find me on LinkedIn.  [00:18:08] Sam Wilson: Fantastic. Chuck, thank you again for your time today. I do appreciate  [00:18:11] Chuck Swope: it. Sounds good. Thank you so 

Pastor Ben explains Matthew 25 1:13 by showing us how a Jewish Wedding works. The wise bridesmaids had oil in their lamps when the Bridegroom came for His Bride. They were ready as we should be for our Lord's eminent return! Do you know what it means to "follow" Jesus? Due to social media, in today's society, the word "follow" means to simply press a button and "become a fan" of someone. But to "Follow Jesus" means something totally different. "Following Jesus" means to read and study the Word of God, and apply what we learn from the Word of God to our every day lives; to love people in the same manner that Jesus loves people.

SHOW SUMMARYThere will always be a price for innovation, and choosing the unbeaten path is risky, but fortune will always favor the bold. Such is the story of our guests, who started podcasting in 2016 and decided to find a niche that not many had occupied before: sales development. In this episode of the Salescast Podcast, our host Edward Purmalis talks to Tenbound CEO David Dulany and David Dember, the host of the Sales Development Podcast about finding an underserved sector, fill the need, and dominate it by setting a high standard for those who are bound to follow your example.  HIGHLIGHTSHow and Why Tenbound got startedAnybody can start a podcast, but it takes a lot more to keep it goingThe tech industry is experiencing a shakedownEverything is an ad now, it's tough to stand outPreparation meets opportunity QUOTESDavid Dulany on the state of podcasting when they started in 2016: "Even at that time, people were saying podcasting is over, podcasting is dead. There's too many podcasts and stuff like that. And this is like six years ago. It was interesting that, ‘No dude. Podcasting is not dead. It's actually an awesome medium for so many different things.'"David Dulany on the mission of the Sales Development podcast: "I always looked at it that there's a lot of super smart people that are doing this. They're doing it really really well. And you never talk to them because they're in the office or now with COVID. They're at home working remotely. They're heads down. They're not trying to become a guru or something in the market. But they have all this great information. It's like how can we surface this and share it and make it useful for people."David Dember's process on researching his guest: "Being a better host, it's once again understanding the individual. Not only understanding the role. So for example, I end up going to someone's LinkedIn page and I don't have much information about their actual day-to-day. Like someone could have the Head of Global Sales Development, there might not be much research on that. I'll take it a step further. I'll go into Indeed.com and I'll round up going to Jobs and typing on that search specifically to understand their KPIs. If I understand their KPIs that's going to be one bucket for me to really identify how we're going to have a conversation."You can connect with David Dulany and David Dember and in the links below:LinkedIn (David Dember) - https://www.linkedin.com/in/daviddember/LinkedIn (David Dulany) - https://www.linkedin.com/in/davidkdulany/The Sales Development Podcast - https://tenbound.com/podcast/If you're listening to the Salescast Podcast, please subscribe, share, and send us your feedback.

TODAY'S GUEST   Today, I'm speaking to Richard D. Bartlett, aka Rich Decibels.   During the Occupy movement in 2011, Rich caught a glimpse of a different way of being together — more compassionate, more intelligent, more creative, inclusive, and animating than he'd experienced as a student worker or citizen up to that point. Since then, he's been on a mission. In 2012 he co-founded Loomio, a digital tool for deliberation and decision-making in groups of 3-300 people.   In 2016 he co-founded The Hum, a management consultancy for organizations without managers. The Hum has recently published an online training course that shares what they know about working in highly decentralized organizations. Rich is also a Director and longstanding member of Enspiral — a network of people supporting each other to grow up and to get paid for doing meaningful work.   Rich has a daily writing practice. He writes about how people work together, at any scale, from relationships, to organizations, to social change, and he's prolific on Twitter and on Medium. His fascinating book (currently in beta) is called Patterns for Decentralized Organizing and can be downloaded from Leanpub.   EPISODE SUMMARY   In this conversation we talk about: How growing up in a strict fundamentalist Christian upbringing, and decoupling from that, shaped his outlook. His complex relationship with atheism and religion today. How he discovered love and solidarity in activism. Technologies of organizing. Forming decentralized decision-making processes. Nihilism in the face of dysfunction as a form of cowardice. Loomio, and collective decision-making software. Status and hierarchy. Shifting culture through fermentation. And the concept of stewardship.   We spoke in mid-June 2022, and I was excited to talk to Rich since he's been introduced to me by Daniel Thorson, whom I interviewed here in episode 10. I've been following his writing on Twitter and find the idea of decentralized work and collaboration fascinating, exciting, and challenging.   It's perhaps the greatest question of our time: now that we're all connected and have incredible tools of self-organization, how can we make better decisions together? How can we outcompete centralized organizations? And how can we benefit from the wonderful richness of so many brains without descending into chaos, nihilism and mob rule?   This conversation is one of a dozen or so weekly conversations that we already have lined up for you with thinkers, designers, makers, authors, entrepreneurs, and activists who are working to change our world for the better. So follow this podcast on your favorite podcast app, or head over to RemakePod.org to subscribe.   And now let's jump right in with Richard D. Bartlett.   TIMESTAMP CHAPTERS   [5:23] Life in the Present [8:07] Early Childhood Community [10:33] A Complex Religious Journey [18:37] The Occupy Movement [23:45] A Transformational Insight [28:21] Cowardice and Courage [30:40] Membership Groups [35:16] Intersecting Communities [41:06] Status and Hierarchy  [44:35] Fermenting the Right Culture [48:21] The Stewardship System [51:58] A Short Sermon   EPISODE LINKS Richard's Links

David Schultz joins Tommy to talk about the 2022 midterm election. 

People talk about "horseshoe theory," but where does it come from? The idea of a "red-brown alliance" has been part of political discourse for decades, and plays up on the notion that the very far left and very far right have common interests in countering the status quo. Alexander Reid Ross is a geographer and political historian who has written about this phenomenon extensively. Tracing it back to its roots, he also has documented instances of where he has observed this in his own activism — which has sometimes earned him criticism. Dave talks with Alex about the history of this phenomenon and what we can do about it going forward.

On this episode of SPS, our resident financial guru sits down with Pamela to discuss the so-called Great Resignation, or “Big Quit”. They take up the concerns over birth rates & mental illness, as well as how social democratic policies naturalize the crisis of capital. In the second half of the episode, Pamela interviews Andy Gittlitz, cohost of the Antifada podcast and author of I Want to Believe: Posadism, UFOs and Apocalypse Communism. They discuss the trajectory of the millennial left, from the anti-war movement, through Occupy to BLM; and the obstacles to building an independent political party on the left.

In today’s Sunday Letters essay, I’m taking a look at the Anarchist Communist philosophy of the Russian Prince and social activist, Petr Kropotkin. He envisioned a socialist revolution, a revolution of the people, but was his vision for society too idealistic to work? Is our society today any different from Kropotkin’s era? Most commentators suggest our working conditions and freedoms have improved one hundredfold. But large numbers of people are dissatisfied with work, still seeing it as a means to an end. So have things really improved? One hundred years after Kropotkin’s death, let’s examine his Anarchist philosophy and its parallels with today’s society.Become A Patron of Sunday LettersIf Socialism is a dirty word, Anarchism is outright filth. Where the former is a cynical means by which the lazy and inept in our society scheme to lie about all day doing little while hard-working citizens like you and me pay for it, the latter steals from our pockets and destroys everything we own. Of course, this is the Fox News or Daily Mirror version. The reality is very different. Anarchism, and by extension, Socialism, are not about you and I propping up wasters and wielding the wrecking ball on society. Rather, their fundamental premise was founded on equity and fairness for all and the removal of exploitation by dictators and bureaucrats of those in society who are weaker.Anarchism has its roots in the socialist movements of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, where its idealism centred upon ultra-democratic principles of fairness, economic equality, individual and collective freedom, the integrity of self-directed work, and non-hierarchical socially-led politics. Unfortunately, as it has been with most if not all social change through history, violence and destruction are never far away and served to taint the ideals that gave birth to those movements. Lenin’s version of socialism and corruption of Marxist ideas — the communist dictatorship of the proletariat—is a case in point.One of the modern era’s most recent Anarchist initiatives was the Occupy Wall Street movement post the 2008 global financial crash. People were irate with the boldness and arrogance of the political and financial elite that ran the show. These were and are the real pick-pockets of ordinary working people, not the unemployed and disadvantaged. However, in spite of the sympathy the movement received, its leftist ideology, which sought to address the imbalance, failed to drum up a long-lasting following. It was merely a flash of idealism that peered out from a gap in the capitalist fabric of US society. The reason to fight must become compelling and inevitable for real change to happen. It must be enduring too, and I wonder if most Americans, British, Europeans and others in the Global North, are simply too comfortable to fight even in spite of the raging inflation we’re currently experiencing.Anarchism’s 2011 display of rage against the machine of Capitalism and the inequality it breeds petered out, and people once again settled into their jobs (or their unemployment). Powerless to make a lasting change and alienated once again from the promise of work that might possibly bring about fulfilment and freedom, people got on with their lives. Although founded on the principle of freedom and liberty from the tyranny of hierarchical systems, some suggest that Anarchism may be too interested in making bold statements through violent action. It is argued that it has no lasting impact because it lacks the ability to think strategically about the change it wishes to see. As the populist idea goes, Anarchism is too interested in looting, burning, rioting and being a general nuisance to society to become a popular long-lasting movement for change.But perhaps this idea is too simple.The Sunday Letters Journal is a reader-supported publication.

History has shown that vast inequalities of wealth, institutions like slavery, debt peonage or wage labour, can only exist if backed up by armies, prisons, and police. Anarchists wish to see human relations that would not have to be backed up by armies, prisons and police. Anarchism envisions a society based on equality and solidarity, which could exist solely on the free consent of participants.”There is a long tradition of political and intellectual anarchist thought, one of the most astute being the nineteenth Century anarchist communist Petr Kropotkin. (For an extensive collection of political and intellectual writings from Kropotkin and others, see The Anarchist Library, the Monthly Review, and Freedom Press). Kropotkin was a blue-blood aristocrat born to an ancient noble family descendant from the Ninth Century Rurik Dynasty and the first rulers of Russia. Despite his privileged background, he railed against its imperial status and its abuse of power over the people. His father was, in his eyes, the embodiment of Tsarist Russia and its military-bureaucratic state, and although highly regarded in political and social circles, Kropotkin dedicated his life to activism. Petr’s home life was irrationally disciplinarian, and he viewed his father’s contempt and cruelty towards servants as despicable. As such, Petr developed a strong empathy for ordinary people. He wrote, “I do not know what would have become of us if we had not found in our house, amidst the serf servants, that atmosphere of love which children must have around them.”It was this childhood experience and the contrast between the cold imperialist attitude of his parents and the open and loving arms of the servents that laid the foundation for his later thought and writing, the most influential of which was The Conquest of Bread. The book is said to capture Kropotkin’s philosophy more than any other of his writings. His vision of the anarchist society was based on camaraderie rather than hierarchy and goodwill rather than coercion and was founded on a profound optimism about human nature. It is a system of society based on cooperation, fairness, collectivism, and the belief that these traits of being are natural and innate to human beings.Kropotkin on Work & CapitalismHowever, Kropotkin’s Anarchism wasn’t without its challenges. For example, how may Anarchism be made compatible with the modern technological society and growing consumerism? The Conquest of Bread was first published in a series of articles, then republished in a single volume in 1892 and was his attempt to address these concerns in simple terms. He started from the assumption that property must be collectively owned because, in the complex modern world where everything is interdependent, claiming a single origin for a product of industry was untenable. He also wrote that keeping the wage system unequal would only ensure the survival of competitiveness and selfishness. Wages would have to be distributed equally, and goods and services distributed freely by democratic bodies. The economy would then be organised according to the communist principle — from each according to their ability and to each according to their need.These ideas are so alien to a mind educated and raised in a Capitalist culture that they seem completely absurd and unworkable. But Kropotkin believed that this radical equality should govern all spheres of life. He argued that the normal division of labour that privileged intellectual, white-collar workers enjoyed over manual workers, consigned most people to monotonous and soul-destroying lives. Labour was to be shared, and “mental” and “manual” tasks integrated so that work would no longer be a curse, and instead, be the free exercise of all the faculties of humankind.His critique of specialisation and hierarchy was also applied to the global economy. An early critic of globalisation, Kropotkin argued that industry and agriculture must be integrated into all regions of the world, ensuring self-sufficiency. Developing countries were to be aided towards industrialisation and, therefore, rectify the growing gap between rich and poor.It [economics] should try to analyse how far the present means are expedient and satisfactory… [, and] should concern itself with the discovery of means for the satisfaction of these needs with the smallest possible waste of labour and with the greatest benefit to mankind in general.Kropotkin’s Anarchism was a rigorous and coherent application of radical democracy and equality to all areas of life. It did not, for example, require a central state body to distribute wages according to performance and so avoided the potential authoritarianism of other versions of Anarchism. However, it did show Kropotkin to be overly idealistic with a naive view of human nature. What about people who refused to work or those who behaved antisocially? Would eliminating market incentives not undermine a functioning economy bringing it to its knees? On the subject of production, Kropotkin insisted that collective organisation and participation were more efficient than the managerialism common in private firms. Enjoyable work, Kropotkin argued, and workers’ knowledge that they were working for the common good provided higher incentives than being compelled to work under the threat of starvation or punishment. It was the democratic organisation of work.Kropotkin also insisted that eliminating market capitalism would improve, not undermine, market efficiency and minimise waste. For instance, abolishing private banks, he suggested, would remove parasitic middlemen allowing resources to be directed to those parts of society that desperately needed them. Similarly, local economic self-sufficiency would remove the expense of transport systems and communications required by the increasingly specialised global economy. For Kropotkin, a more egalitarian society with fair patterns of consumption was possible, and at the root of this argument was his conviction that the economy already produced enough to provide everyone with a good standard of living. The problem, he insisted, was with distribution rather than production. In Fields, Factories and Workshops, Kropotkin demonstrated that humanity already possessed the technical means to produce healthy food abundantly for everyone with relatively little effort and expense. We know this today too, although the imperative to hoard wealth and resources remain in place. The precursors to today’s factory farms existed at this time, and which, Kropotkin noted, destroyed the soil for generations and displaced people who might otherwise obtain a comfortable living from the land.On the subject of wages, Kropotkin suggested that if people had the means to support themselves, to meet their daily requirements without the need to hire out their bodies for payment, no one would consent to work for wages. Which are, he insisted, inevitably a mere fraction of the value of the goods or services they produce. Even the independent artisan worker of Kropotkin’s time could barely do better than support his family, let alone save for his old age. Have Things Changed For The Better?Here we are today, just over one hundred years since Kropotkin’s death, and I wonder, are things fundamentally any different? Technology is a bit of a double-edged sword insofar as it has improved materially the lives of millions of people. But it has also worsened the lives of many more. African children still dig in mines for precious metals, Indian girls are forced into the sex trade in the slums of Mumbai, and illegal migrants in the US are forced to work in cramped rooms all day and night for meagre wages. Jason Hickel, economic anthropologist and author, writes extensively on globalisation and the damage it does to people in the global south. They are, he suggests, paying for the luxury that we in the north enjoy. In a recent article, Hickel says that extreme poverty is not natural; it’s created. Exploitation in the name of Capitalism carries on.Kropotkin sought a global revolution by working people over their capitalist overlords. It didn’t happen, and although there are brief flurries of anarchist activity, as we saw in the 2011 Occupy movement, they are short-lived. I sense that we have become too comfortable, too easily manipulated and made weak by the ease at which life comes to us. Yet, ironically, we are deeply dissatisfied and unhappy with work. We may wear different clothes, have access to a universe of information in our pockets, enjoy better healthcare, have access to endless “entertainment”, and the opportunity to satisfy our every whim, but are we really better off? And crucially, have we found a way to work free? I’m not so sure the conquest of bread has ever been satisfied and perhaps it never will.The Sunday Letters Journal is a reader-supported publication.
