Longevity, Cash PT, and the $8 Trillion Opportunity You Can't Ignore In this episode, Doc Danny Matta breaks down why the global shift toward longevity is one of the biggest opportunities cash-based physical therapists will see in their careers. He shares real-world examples from high-end longevity models, explains why proactive, long-term health programming is exploding, and shows how cash PTs are uniquely positioned to lead this space. Quick Ask If this episode gets your wheels turning about longevity and long-term care, share it with another clinician who needs to hear it—and tag @dannymattaPT so he can reshare it. Episode Summary Patient experience as an edge: While competitors step out mid-session to finish notes, you can stay fully engaged by using Clair, an AI scribe that handles documentation instantly. Operational advantage: Clair gives you more time for follow-ups, planning, and patient touchpoints—leading to better retention and more efficient operations. Danny's background: Staff PT, active duty military PT, cash practice founder, seller, and now founder of PT Biz, which has helped 1,000+ clinicians start, grow, and scale their own cash practices. The longevity trend: Patients are realizing they'll live longer and want to be proactive, not reactive, about their health and performance. 10x-style models: Peter Attia's "10x"/10 Squared-type gym in Austin employs performance clinicians doing assessments, hands-on care, and programming over months and years at premium pricing. Equinox Longevity: Equinox launched a longevity offering priced around $35,000–$45,000 per year, combining assessments, bloodwork, training, and bodywork. Market validation: Big brands like Equinox don't roll out programs like this without deep market research—there is clear demand. The $8 trillion forecast: A UBS report projects the global longevity market could reach roughly $8 trillion by 2030. High continuity, low volume: Danny's friend running a longevity-focused model only needs ~30–40 new patients per year because clients stay for years. LTV over churn: With long-term, continuity-based care, you don't need a constant flood of new patients—you need strong retention and deep relationships. What these programs include: Long-term programming, movement and performance assessments, VO2 max testing, force plate work, blood panel interpretation, and lifestyle coaching around sleep, nutrition, and stress. Why cash PT is perfect for this: No insurance rules; you can spend an hour on sleep, stress, or habit coaching if that's what the patient needs. Visual differentiation: Cash clinics often look and feel like a high-performance lab or gym—nothing like a crowded hospital outpatient clinic. Community and referrals: Patients in long-term programs naturally talk about what they're doing and pull friends and family into your ecosystem. Tech as a differentiator: Tools like force plates, VO2 testing, structured assessments, and periodic retests make progress visible and drive buy-in. Standardizing longevity in cash PT: Danny sees longevity as a pillar every successful cash practice will eventually integrate in some form. Not one-size-fits-all: You can build your own version—solo, with a functional medicine group, or as part of a broader performance ecosystem. Lessons & Takeaways Longevity is a macro trend: People know they're going to live longer and want to invest in staying active, capable, and independent. Continuity beats volume: A few dozen long-term clients can support a strong business if they stay with you for years. Cash PT has structural advantages: You're not limited by insurance codes, visit caps, or what a payer thinks is "medically necessary." Data builds trust: Objective testing plus retesting makes progress real and keeps clients engaged. Longevity is "sticky" business: Once people see value in long-term health, they're less price sensitive and more loyal. Early adopters benefit most: Clinics that build longevity offerings now get ahead of a trend that large systems are just starting to chase. Mindset & Motivation Think in decades, not visits: Stop viewing patients as "10-visit plans" and start thinking in 5–10 year relationships. See yourself as a guide, not a fixer: You're not just solving pain—you're guiding someone's health span and performance over time. Health is real wealth: For your patients and for you—longevity work aligns your business model with what truly matters. Don't wait for permission: You don't need a big brand or hospital system to validate this for you; the demand already exists. Pro Tips for Clinic Owners Start with what you know: Build a simple longevity track around your existing strengths: strength, mobility, running, or performance. Add one objective test: Integrate VO2 testing, force plate jumps, or standardized movement screens with baseline + retest cycles. Layer in basic lifestyle coaching: Learn enough about sleep, stress, and nutrition to guide your patients or partner with someone who can. Use tech wisely: Don't buy everything at once—choose tools you'll actually use and that support your specific model. Leverage an AI scribe: Implement Clair so documentation doesn't steal time from long, relationship-based care. Notable Quotes "People are realizing they're going to live longer—and they want to be proactive, not reactive." "If a giant like Equinox is rolling out a $40,000-a-year longevity program, they've done the research. The demand is there." "My buddy needs 30 to 40 new patients a year. That's it. What game do you want to play?" "Cash-based PTs are uniquely positioned to capitalize on this trend—we're not handcuffed by insurance." "Health is real wealth. If you're not healthy, it doesn't matter how much money you have." Action Items Audit your current services: where could you naturally extend into long-term, proactive care? Sketch a simple 6–12 month "longevity track" for your ideal client, including assessments and retests. Identify one piece of tech or testing you could add to make your results more objective and compelling. Look for local partners (functional medicine, labs, coaches) who could complement your skill set. Consider using Clair to free up time so you can deepen relationships instead of chasing notes.

There have been 21 U.S. military strikes against Venezuelan vessels since September, with a total of 83 casualties, all without Congressional approval or oversight. Meanwhile, President Donald Trump has recently cautioned airlines to avoid Venezuelan airspace, encouraged Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro to flee and said land strikes could “start very soon.” Is all of this really about combatting the drug trade or could the primary motivation even be more simply to get rid of Maduro?

What Security Congress Reveals About the State of CybersecurityThis discussion focuses on what ISC2 Security Congress represents for practitioners, leaders, and organizations navigating constant technological change. Jon France, Chief Information Security Officer at ISC2, shares how the event brings together thousands of cybersecurity practitioners, certification holders, chapter leaders, and future professionals to exchange ideas on the issues shaping the field today.  Themes That Stand OutAI remains a central point of attention. France notes that organizations are grappling not only with adoption but with the shift in speed it introduces. Sessions highlight how analysts are beginning to work alongside automated systems that sift through massive data sets and surface early indicators of compromise. Rather than replacing entry-level roles, AI changes how they operate and accelerates the decision-making path. Quantum computing receives a growing share of focus as well. Attendees hear about timelines, standards emerging from NIST, and what preparedness looks like as cryptographic models shift.  Identity-based attacks and authorization failures also surface throughout the program. With machine-driven compromises becoming easier to scale, the community explores new defenses, stronger controls, and the practical realities of machine-to-machine trust. Operational technology, zero trust, and machine-speed threats create additional urgency around modernizing security operations centers and rethinking human-to-machine workflows.  A Place for Every Stage of the CareerFrance describes Security Congress as a cross-section of the profession: entry-level newcomers, certification candidates, hands-on practitioners, and CISOs who attend for leadership development. Workshops explore communication, business alignment, and critical thinking skills that help professionals grow beyond technical execution and into more strategic responsibilities.  Looking Ahead to the Next CongressThe next ISC2 Security Congress will be held in October in the Denver/Aurora area. France expects AI and quantum to remain key themes, along with contributions shaped by the call-for-papers process. What keeps the event relevant each year is the mix of education, networking, community stories, and real-world problem-solving that attendees bring with them.The ISC2 Security Congress 2025 is a hybrid event taking place from October 28 to 30, 2025 Coverage provided by ITSPmagazineGUEST:Jon France, Chief Information Security Officer at ISC2 | On LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jonfrance/HOST:Sean Martin, Co-Founder, ITSPmagazine and Studio C60 | Website: https://www.seanmartin.comFollow our ISC2 Security Congress coverage: https://www.itspmagazine.com/cybersecurity-technology-society-events/isc2-security-congress-2025Catch all of our event coverage: https://www.itspmagazine.com/technology-and-cybersecurity-conference-coverageISC2 Security Congress: https://www.isc2.orgNIST Post-Quantum Cryptography Standards: https://csrc.nist.gov/projects/post-quantum-cryptographyISC2 Chapters: https://www.isc2.org/chaptersWant to share an Event Briefing as part of our event coverage?

Palestinian Islamic Jihad Presence in Syria and Iranian Ties — John Batchelor, Bill Roggio, Akmed Sharawari — Sharawari documents that Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) maintains operational presence in Syria, conducting activities from refugee camps adjacent to Damascus, maintaining historical organizational relationships with the Assadregime structure. Roggio emphasizes that PIJ functions as a crucial Iranian proxy organization, receiving weapons, financial resources, and operational guidance from Tehran's security apparatus. Batchelor notes that although PIJ was a major participant in the October 7th attacks on Israel, Shara's current government is reluctant to provide full institutional sponsorship due to significant associated political and security risks from Israeli retaliation. 1920 DAMASCUS

Show Notes: Disaster as a MirrorEpisode Summary:In this episode of the Emergency Management Network, hosts Todd DeVoe and Dan Scott explore one of the most revealing truths in our field: disasters don't introduce new problems—they expose the ones already there. A hurricane, a wildfire, a blackout, a pandemic: each becomes a mirror reflecting the strengths, weaknesses, inequities, and blind spots embedded in our communities long before impact.Todd and Dan trace this phenomenon through the research of Daniel Aldrich and others, connecting social vulnerability, infrastructure choices, governance failures, and community cohesion to the wildly different outcomes disasters produce. They discuss why disasters disproportionately affect specific populations, how historic policy decisions echo across decades, and what emergency managers must confront when the mirror shows us something we'd rather ignore.The conversation blends field experience, research, and a reflective “Garage Philosopher” edge—challenging listeners to consider what disasters reveal not just about our systems, but about ourselves.Topics Covered:Disasters as amplifiers: Hazards don't treat everyone equally; they magnify pre-existing inequities.Social vulnerability & history: How redlining, disinvestment, and infrastructure neglect play out during crisis.Daniel Aldrich's research: Why social capital predicts survival and recovery better than physical infrastructure alone.Systemic exposure: How disasters spotlight policy failures, brittle systems, and governance gaps we tolerate in “blue-sky” time.Operational implications: EM must acknowledge that preparedness and resilience are shaped by long-term societal conditions, not last-minute planning.Moral visibility: Disasters reveal whose voices get prioritized, whose neighborhoods get rebuilt, and who gets left waiting.Rebuilding with honesty: Using the mirror constructively—community engagement, equity-centered planning, and revisiting assumptions.Quotable Moment:“A disaster doesn't break a community—it shows where the cracks already were.” This is a public episode.

Struggling with low profitability? Here's the truth most business owners don't want to hear: it's rarely about selling more. It's about tightening operations, focusing on the right clients, and removing the stress that drains your team and your bottom line. Not every customer is a good fit - and that's okay. When you intentionally serve your most profitable and appreciative clients, your culture shifts from burnout and resentment to excellence and energy. Choose wisely whom you serve. In my latest episode of A Better HR Business, I sit down with Ben Hansen, CEO and Founder of Profit Doctor, to talk about how HR-related companies - and the entrepreneurs leading them - can double their profitability, regain control, and build the kind of business they originally dreamed of running. Ben knows the journey firsthand. He built an 8-figure consulting firm with 100 team members in just eight years, earning a spot on the Inc. Magazine fastest-growing companies list five years in a row. Today, he helps companies in the $5–50M range build healthier, stronger businesses. In this episode, Ben talks about: Why Not Every Client Is Worth Keeping: Some clients drain more than they contribute. Identifying and exiting these “profit killers” frees up resources for higher-value relationships. Growth ≠ Profitability: More sales don't automatically mean more profit. Sometimes the biggest gains come from tightening processes and prioritizing profitability - even for just a few focused months. Listen to Your Frontline Teams: Your staff often knows which clients, products, or workflows are hurting the business. When you involve them, you gain insights and boost engagement. If you're ready to reclaim the dream of entrepreneurship, it's time to optimize - not just grow for growth's sake.

Read the article - https://incident-prevention.com/blog/safety-by-design-human-and-organizational-performance/   In this installment of the Safety by Design podcast series, host Nick sits down with Pam Tompkins, President and CEO of SET Solutions, to explore the transformative philosophy of Human and Organizational Performance (HOP). Based on her latest article in Incident Prevention magazine, Pam breaks down why traditional, compliance-based safety programs often fall short in high-risk utility environments. Listeners will discover how shifting from a "blame culture" to a "learning culture" can drastically improve safety outcomes. Pam details the five core principles of HOP, offering actionable advice on how to identify predictable "error traps," why context matters in human decision-making, and how leadership's response to failure defines an organization's future. Whether you are a frontline leader or a safety executive, this episode provides the blueprint for building a resilient system that protects employees even when mistakes happen. Keywords: Safety by Design, Human and Organizational Performance, HOP Principles, Utility Safety, Safety Culture, Pam Tompkins, Incident Prevention, Error Traps, Operational Learning.   Key Takeaways   The "Blame" Trap vs. System Design: Traditional safety often assumes employees should be perfect 100% of the time. HOP accepts that people will make mistakes and focuses on fixing the systems (procedures, equipment, pressures) that support them, rather than trying to "fix" the people. The 5 Principles of HOP: The episode outlines five foundational principles: People will make mistakes. Error-likely situations are predictable. All human actions are influenced by context. Operational upsets can be avoided. How we respond to failure matters. Identifying Error Traps: Many incidents are preceded by "error traps"—predictable conditions like fatigue (working 16+ hours), unfamiliar tasks (e.g., a mobile sub not used in a year), or unclear switching orders. Identifying these early prevents errors from becoming accidents. The Critical Role of Leadership Response: A leader's reaction to a failure determines if an organization learns or hides. Asking "Who messed up?" creates fear, while asking "What conditions led to this?" builds trust and encourages the reporting of near-misses. Learning From Daily Work: You don't have to wait for a major accident to learn. Simple habits, like a two-minute "after-action review" at the tailgate or informal learning teams, can uncover operational gaps before they cause harm. Questions & Answers   Q1: What is the biggest misconception about adopting Human and Organizational Performance (HOP) in the workplace? A: The biggest misconception is that HOP ignores accountability. In reality, HOP shifts accountability from "who is to blame" to "how do we fix the system." It acknowledges that while individuals are responsible for their actions, they often work within flawed systems that set them up for failure. As Pam Tompkins explains, you cannot fix a human being, but you can fix the pressures, tools, and procedures that influence their decisions. Q2: What are some practical examples of "error traps" that utility crews face? A: "Error traps" are specific conditions that increase the probability of a mistake. Common examples discussed in the podcast include: Fatigue: Crews working long shifts during storm restoration. Infrequent Tasks: Performing a job or using equipment (like a mobile substation) that hasn't been touched in months. Poor Documentation: Switching orders that bundle multiple critical tasks into a single step without checks and balances. Production Pressure: Implicit or explicit messages from management prioritizing speed over safety protocols. Q3: How can a team start implementing HOP principles tomorrow without a massive administrative overhaul? A: Implementation can start with a simple question. Pam suggests that frontline leaders ask their crews daily: "What part of your job is most likely to hurt someone today, and what gets in the way of doing it safely?" Additionally, shifting the post-incident conversation from discipline to curiosity—asking "Walk me through what happened" instead of "Why didn't you follow the rule?"—immediately begins to build the trust necessary for a HOP culture.   Get in contact with Pam - https://setsolutionsllc.com/   #SafetyByDesign #UtilitySafety #SafetyManagementSystem #ProactiveSafety #LeadingIndicators #WorkplaceSafety #SafetyCulture   OSHA Power Electric Standards Course -  https://ip-institute.com/osha-electric-power-standards/ Subscribe to Incident Prevention Magazine - https://incident-prevention.com/subscribe-now/ Register for the iP Utility Safety Conference & Expo - https://utilitysafetyconference.com/ ________________________________ This podcast is sponsored by T&D Powerskills.

James Anderson, CEO of Guanajuato Silver (TSX.V:GSVR – OTCQX:GSVRF), joins me to highlight their recently announced transformational acquisition of the Bolanitos Gold-Silver Mine from Endeavour Silver, and to review the key takeaways from Q3 2025 operations and financials.  We also end the discussion getting his technical outlook on the recent price action, and supply/demand fundamentals for silver.     On November 24th Guanajuato Silver announced that it had entered into a definitive agreement to acquire the Bolanitos gold-silver located in Guanajuato, Mexico, from Endeavour Silver Corp. (TSX:EDR) for total consideration of up to US$50 million, consisting of (i) upfront consideration at closing of US$40, which is comprised of US$30 million in cash and US$10 million of Guanajuato Silver common at a deemed price of US$0.2709413 (Cdn$0.3815) per share. (ii) In addition to the Upfront Consideration, Guanajuato Silver will make two contingent payments to Endeavour, each being US$5 million, upon achieving production of two million ounces of silver-equivalent and four million ounces of silver-equivalent, respectively. Each Contingent Payment will be satisfied 50% in cash and 50% in Guanajuato Shares.   Bolanitos Acquisition Highlights   Bolanitos will be Guanajuato Silver's 5th producing precious metals mine in Mexico. Upon the completion of the Transaction, the Company will operate three primary silver mines (Topia, Valenciana, and El Cubo) and two primary gold mines (Bolanitos and San Ignacio). 2024 Production at Bolanitos totaled 2,471,027 silver-equivalent (AgEq) ounces from 427,646 tonnes grading 39 g/t silver and 1.98 g/t gold for 452,627 ounces of silver and 25,230 ounces of gold. Silver and gold recoveries were 84.4% and 92.7% respectively. AgEq calculated at 80:1 silver to gold ratio (see Endeavour MD&A for the year ended December 31, 2024). The acquisition of Bolanitos significantly increases Guanajuato Silver's resource base, adding in approximately 25 million silver equivalent ounces. The incorporation of the San Ignacio Mine into the Bolanitos Mines Complex is expected to rapidly generate improved economics and expanded mine life; mineralized material mined at San Ignacio will now be transported to the nearby 1,600 tonnes per day Bolanitos flotation plant; as Bolanitos and San Ignacio are contiguous to one another, this is expected to dramatically reduce transportation costs and increase utilization at the Bolanitos mill. The Transaction also includes the acquisition of the historic Cebada mine, which is located contiguous and to the north of theCompany's Valenciana Mines Complex (VMC). The Company intends to reactivate Cebada, which is currently on care and maintenance, as an important exploration and development project.   Selected Q3 2025 Operational and Financial Highlights:    Working capital improved over the quarter by $11.3M or 168% compared to Q2; working capital for Q3 2025 was $4.6M compared to negative $6.7M in Q2 2025. The Company reported positive operating cash flows of $3,065,567 for the first nine months of 2025; in Q3 the Company generated positive cash flow from mining operations of $712,271 with realized metal prices of $39.03 for Silver and $3,441 for gold. Production for the quarter of 457,525 silver-equivalent ounces (AgEq) comprising 245,369 ounces of silver, 2,025 ounces of gold, 597,269 pounds of lead and 741,595 pounds of zinc. Silver equivalents are calculated using an 87.70:1 (Ag/Au), 0.02:1 (Ag/Pb) and 0.03:1 (Ag/Zn) ratio for Q3 2025. Increased capital expenditures over the quarter are expected to generate improved efficiencies into 2026. Capital expenditures were 97% higher in Q3 over Q2. The investments included additions to the mining fleet, relining of Mill 3 at El Cubo, continued work to install a Falcon gravity concentrator at the Topia plant designed to further increase gold recoveries in concentrates, pre-development work at Pinguico, and dewatering programs at both Valenciana and El Cubo.   Wrapping up James and I discuss the continued bullish technical setup in the silver price, closing this last Friday at an all-time high, and breaking well above long-term resistance at $50, and even more intermediate-term resistance around $54.   James lays out the fundamental supply/demand environment for silver, and why the framework is there to keep seeing elevated silver prices moving forward.   James also gives listeners an update on the gold:silver ratio, putting current pricing in the context of historical patterns.       If you have any follow up questions for James on Guanajuato Silver, then please email them into me at Shad@kereport.com.   In full disclosure, Shad is a shareholder of Guanajuato Silver at the time of this recording and may choose to buy or sell shares at any time.   Click here to follow the latest news from Guanajuato Silver   For more market commentary & interview summaries, subscribe to our Substacks:   The KE Report: https://kereport.substack.com/ Shad's resource market commentary: https://excelsiorprosperity.substack.com/     Investment disclaimer: This content is for informational and educational purposes only and does not constitute investment advice, an offer, or a solicitation to buy or sell any security.

 In part two Chris Ward moves from the personal story into the practical blueprint. This is where the conversation shifts gears and gets straight into the habits, behaviours and systems firefighters need if they want to stay fit for the job for decades, not months. Chris opens up about the emotional toll of testing, the stigma around capability, and the reality that annual fitness fear is often a lifestyle problem not a treadmill problem. He breaks down how shift work, on call pressure, modern declarations, poor recovery, bad sleep, erratic training and even small daily choices stack up into long term decline. Chris digs deep into programming, nutrition, movement, strength, cardio, and the mindset shift from “training for the test” to building year round operational readiness. From menopause to chronic disease, from confidence issues to the mental health benefits of discipline and routine, this episode gives firefighters a clear, honest, and achievable path back to control. If part one was the wake up call, part two is the map. Find Chris HEREAccess all episodes, documents, GIVEAWAYS & debriefs HEREPodcast Apparel, Hoodies, Flags, Mugs HEREPODCAST GIFT - FREE subscription to essential Firefighting publications HERE A big thanks to our partners for supporting this episode.GORE-TEX Professional ClothingMSA The Safety CompanyIDEXFIRE & EVACUATION SERVICE LTD HAIX Footwear - Get offical podcast discount on HAIX HEREXendurance - to hunt performance & endurance 20% off HERE with code ffp20Lyfe Linez -  Get Functional Hydration FUEL for FIREFIGHTERS, Clean no sugar  for daily hydration. 80% of people live dehydratedSend us a textSupport the show***The views expressed in this episode are those of the individual speakers.

PREVIEW — Rick Fischer — Chinese Strategy to Break Out of the South China Sea and Defense Preparations in the Okinawa Chain. Fischer details potential Chinese operational plans for a breakout past Japan, which could involve deploying concealed tactical nuclear weapons to rapidly impose a blockade of regional shipping lanes. Japan and the U.S. are rapidly fortifying Yonaguni Island, located approximately 70 miles from Taiwan, into a forward air base. Both nations are conducting exercises establishing expeditionary refueling bases for F-35B fighters and plan to deploy THAAD missile systems to counter Chinese H-6 bombers. 1966

In part one Chris Ward goes deep on the truth about firefighter fitness, long term health, and the realities of staying operational into your sixties. From the early days of joining the service to the shock of pension changes, chronic illness, fear of capability tests and the uncomfortable slide from “fit at twenty eight” to “struggling at forty five”, Chris lays out why fitness for firefighters is no longer about passing a yearly treadmill minimum. It is about health span, resilience, and building a fitness pension that carries you through a forty year career and out the other side with a life still worth living. Raw, honest and full of lived experience, this episode cuts through the noise and gets to the heart of what the job now demands.Find Chris HEREAccess all episodes, documents, GIVEAWAYS & debriefs HEREPodcast Apparel, Hoodies, Flags, Mugs HEREPODCAST GIFT - FREE subscription to essential Firefighting publications HERE A big thanks to our partners for supporting this episode.GORE-TEX Professional ClothingMSA The Safety CompanyIDEXFIRE & EVACUATION SERVICE LTD HAIX Footwear - Get offical podcast discount on HAIX HEREXendurance - to hunt performance & endurance 20% off HERE with code ffp20Lyfe Linez -  Get Functional Hydration FUEL for FIREFIGHTERS, Clean no sugar  for daily hydration. 80% of people live dehydratedSend us a textSupport the show***The views expressed in this episode are those of the individual speakers.

Operators with 30 years of pattern recognition leave for competitors. Engineers carrying legacy system intelligence depart. Everyone understands the risk. Few solve the execution: Systematically extracting tacit intelligence that experts can't articulate because it operates below the conscious threshold.Dr. Refiloe Mabaso and Wisdom Ndashe architected what many struggle to build - knowledge-capture systems that function independently of voluntary participation. At ATNS, harvesting is mandated by policy and embedded in workflows. Their "Legends and Beneficiaries" program identifies critical expertise five years before departure, mapping tacit intelligence to next-generation operators through structured protocols. The execution breakthrough: embedding capture into SOPs makes retention automatic. Travel with Purpose demonstrates strategic reach - converting unaccounted expenditures into documented intelligence acquisition with measurable ROI. Cost centers become intelligence operations.Paradigm Shifts:

In this week's solo episode, John Casmon steps away from guest interviews to break down one of the most misunderstood topics in multifamily investing: underwriting. After speaking at the Big Deal Summit in Columbus, John shares the real-world framework he uses to analyze deals—not just in spreadsheets, but in practice. From setting clear investment criteria to identifying operational inefficiencies, John walks through how successful investors combine vision, market insight, and execution to drive lasting results.     Make sure to download our free guide, 7 Questions Every Passive Investor Should Ask, here.     Key Takeaways Underwriting isn't about the spreadsheet—it's about the vision, people, and execution Always define your buy box and end goals before analyzing numbers Focus on markets with both macro strength and micro-level renter desirability Investors don't pay premiums for plumbing or electric—focus on visible value Operational inefficiencies are gold if you know how to identify and fix them Don't assume you can operate better than a seasoned owner without proof Stress test your assumptions: What happens if the plan breaks?     Topics The Real Goal of Underwriting Spreadsheets don't reflect operations—real estate is about people, not numbers Get clarity on what kind of asset and community you're trying to build Defining Your Buy Box Understand your own criteria before chasing ROI or IRR Why Cincinnati and surrounding markets meet John's standards for long-term growth Macro and Micro Market Selection How renter desirability shapes submarket selection Population growth ≠ renter demand—context matters Value-Add the Right Way Tenants won't pay more for new pipes—focus on kitchens, lighting, appliances Target properties with updated mechanicals so your upgrades actually add value Operational Inefficiencies to Look For Low occupancy, slow turn times, bloated expenses, and misaligned staffing Why seasoned operators aren't always "mismanaging"—stay humble Creating vs. Assuming Value Ask questions before opening a spreadsheet—what is the business plan? Don't guess your way through the numbers; know what levers create value Stress Testing the Deal Underwrite break-even points and failure scenarios Real story: How one business plan unraveled when resident profiles clashed Final Thoughts on Strategy Vision before budget—start with what you want to create IRR matters, but timing and exit assumptions often fail Know your buyer—plan your renovations around future investor demand

Philippine Missile Deployment to Deter China. Captain Jim Fanell reports that the Philippines unveiled its first operational BrahMos anti-ship cruise missile battery in western Luzon to deter Chinese aggression. This supersonic missile system, part of the $7.2 billion Reorizon 3 modernization program, gives the Philippines "skin in the game" near disputed waters like Scarborough Shoal. The deployment signifies a strategy to turn the Philippines into a "porcupine," focusing defense on the West Philippine Sea. The systems are road-mobile, making them difficult to target. 1915 MANILA

John Dittar and Felipe share how refining supply paths, removing low-quality inventory, and layering intelligence into deals leads to cleaner, smarter buying. They explain how curation powers stronger brand safety, reduces pre-fraud exposure, and replaces guesswork with predictable, high-performing inventory. This conversation moves beyond CTRs and surface metrics to show how curated deals create meaningful engagement, improved conversions, and simpler workflows for traders. Here's What You'll Learn Curation as a Service, explained: how GDB cleans, classifies, and enhances every impression in real time. DSP to SSP evolution: why GDB shifted its focus to smarter supply and what that means for buyers. Beyond CTR: how removing low-quality inventory leads to real engagement and conversion gains. Operational simplicity: how curated deals reduce manual work while improving transparency and brand safety. Trader takeaways: how to use curation and clean supply paths to optimize faster, layer insights into DSP workflows, and focus on performance that actually matters.

2025-11-09 | Silicon Wafers 051 | DAILY UPDATES | Despite the profusion of stories we've covered, the battle for Pokrovsk, energy sanctions, and so on, the most important strategic angle on the war this winter is the attritional energy war. And it's unlike the Western attitude to the war throughout all these four years – to cede the escalation dominance to Russia, always pulling punches, in support for Ukraine, and never allowing its ally to land a decisive blow on Russia. Now Ukraine is takin off the gloves, because below the nuclear threshold, there is nothing holding back Russia's viciousness and violence. Ukraine is seeking to inflict greater costs on Russia in the energy war, than it can impose upon Ukraine. This ‘escalation' is the only way to make it clear to Putin he cannot win and is the only way to inflict economic and social costs that start to make Putin's brittle regime appear vulnerable to its internal audience. Nothing else will get through to Putin. Nothing at all. Ukraine's “doomsday lever”? Hitting the Yamal network — myth vs. math. There is an inescapable logic to the course of this existential escalation for Ukraine's existence. It starts with testing the theory of imposing blackouts and heating denial to smaller, non-strategic Russian towns. Belgorod, Vladimir, Voronezh. And this is happening now. The next stage is to test supporting infrastructure around Moscow – electricity substations, energy supply routes for fuel, gas and oil products. This is happening. Beyond that, are substantial and extended blackouts in smaller towns, then Moscow and St. Petersburg. But that's not the final arrow in Ukraine's quiver. It has a doomsday option – hitting Yamal Cross. If none of the other escalatory steps lead to an unconditional ceasefire, then I suggest it's a near certainly that we'll reach the doomsday stage for Moscow by end of this winter. ----------Partner on this video: KYIV OF MINE Watch the trailer now: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=arJUcE1rxY0'Kyiv of Mine' is a documentary series about Ukraine's beautiful capital, Kyiv. The film production began in 2018, and much has changed since then. It is now 2025, and this story is far from over.https://www.youtube.com/@UCz6UbVKfqutH-N7WXnC5Ykg https://www.kyivofmine.com/#theprojectKyiv of Mine is fast paced, beautifully filmed, humorous, fun, insightful, heartbreaking, moving, hopeful. The very antithesis in fact of a doom-laden and worthy wartime documentary. This is a work that is extraordinarily uplifting. My friend Operator Starsky says the film is “Made with so much love. The film series will make you laugh and cry.” ----------SOURCES: Ukrainian attacks in Russia's Belgorod, Kursk oblasts leave ≥20,000 without power — The Moscow Times/AFP, Nov. 9, 2025‘A powerful secondary detonation' — Donetsk airport Shahed hub strike — Kyiv Independent, Nov. 6, 2025Volgograd refinery halted after drone strike — Reuters, Nov. 6, 2025Crimea oil depot fire (Simferopol/Hvardiiske) after drone attacks — Ukrinform, Nov. 6, 2025Bashkortostan: Sterlitamak petrochemical plant struck — Kyiv Independent, Nov. 7, 2025Russian rebel group sabotages locomotives — Kyiv Post, Nov. 6, 2025ORLEN–Naftogaz: three U.S. LNG cargoes in Q1 2026 (≥300 mcm) — ORLEN press release; Naftogaz release; Polish Radio; Kyiv Independent, Nov. 7–8, 2025Energy attrition context: Reuters refinery capacity tally, Sept. 1, 2025.
