In this episode of Pillars of Wealth Creation, Todd sits down with Brad Johnson to discuss the realities of mobile home park investing. Brad shares how he first tried managing parks from 2,000 miles away, only to realize the inefficiencies of remote operations. Today, he focuses on providing capital to local operators with the infrastructure and systems needed to manage these communities effectively. Mobile home parks are an operationally intensive asset class, essentially functioning like small cities for 100+ families. Success requires strong teams, reliable rent collection, and well-built systems to manage expenses and infrastructure. Brad emphasizes the importance of investing with experienced operators who understand how to grow NOI and sustain communities—rather than newcomers chasing an idea without a plan.

Reconnaissance Energy Africa or ReconAfrica CEO Brian Reinsborough joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce a transformational milestone for the company: the signing of a production sharing contract and joint venture agreement with the Republic of Gabon and the Gabon Oil Company (GOC) for the exploration, appraisal, development, and production of oil and gas on Offshore Block C-7, now officially renamed Ngulu. Under the terms of the agreement, ReconAfrica has been designated as operator with a 55% working interest. The Government of Gabon has emphasized its commitment to establishing a stable and attractive regulatory framework that supports investment and leverages the country's abundant hydrocarbon resources to create lasting economic growth for its citizens. Reinsborough highlighted that this partnership marks ReconAfrica's entry as an offshore operator in West Africa, a strategic shift that expands the company's growth potential. Block C-7 (Ngulu) spans 1,214 km² of shallow water acreage offshore central Gabon, situated on trend and offset to a series of prolific producing fields in the region, which range in size from 38 million to 250 million barrels. One of the block's key assets is the Loba oil discovery, drilled in 1976, which encountered 140 metres of gross hydrocarbon pay (70 metres net pay). This discovery provides low-risk appraisal and development opportunities and is estimated to hold the potential for ~20,000 barrels per day of production, comparable to nearby producing fields. Beyond near-term development, Ngulu offers significant exploration upside, with an inventory of 28 mapped prospects. These prospects are considered geologically analogous to successful Gulf of Mexico play types, opening the door to substantial resource additions. The company views Ngulu as a balanced project, combining short-cycle development potential with meaningful exploration upside—an alignment that could drive near-term cash flow while securing ReconAfrica's role in one of Africa's most prospective offshore basins. #proactiveinvestors #reconnaissanceenergyafricaltd #tsxv #reco #otcqx #recaf #NamibiaOil #ProspectI #OilExploration #EnergyUpdate #OnshoreDrilling #OilAndGasNews #AfricanEnergy #OilDiscovery #EnergyInvesting #OilExploration #NamibiaOil #EnergyInvesting #KavangoBasin #BrianReinsborough #OilAndGas #InvestorUpdate #ProactiveInvestors #AngolaEnergy #gabon #ngulu

In the third installment of our dive into game call makers, today we are joined by the co-owner of Black Label Game Calls. Russell Andrews is also a National Champion caller in many levels including the 2025 NWTF Gobbling Champion and the 2025 World Gobbling Champion. He also shares his testimony of how God has helped him through a trying time in his life.    Russell Andrews, Co-Owner and Operator of Black Label Game Calls, has been a consistent disrupter in the wild game call industry since July of 2022 when he and his partner, Jesse Martin, took their passion and transformed it into a product. When Russell's father was senselessly killed in May 2024 (article featured in “The Call” NWTF magazine), Russell's entire approach to cultivating his business shifted from being sales-focused to using turkey calling to spread the Gospel. Russell turned to his turkey calling family through all of the grief and anger, and poured his efforts into preparing for turkey calling contests, winning the Gobbling division of both the 2025 NWTF Grand National Calling Contest and the 2025 World Turkey Calling Contest. Russell's mission is very simple now — carry out the Great Commission using the platform that Black Label Game Calls has built.     www.blacklabelgamecalls.com www.taurususa.com www.cva.com www.himtnjerky.com www.murrelloptics.com www.jumpmedic.com www.christianoutdoors.org www.citrusafe.com www.elimishieldhunt.com www.mossyoak.com

What drives someone to board a helicopter on what might be a one-way mission to take down the world's most wanted terrorist? In this gripping conversation with Navy SEAL Rob O'Neill, we dive deep into the mind of the man who killed Osama bin Laden and explore the extraordinary journey that led him there.Rob's story begins unexpectedly in Butte, Montana, where a chance encounter with a Navy recruiter – and the absence of the Marine recruiter he'd actually come to see – set him on a path that would ultimately change history. With disarming honesty and unexpected humor, he reveals how he joined the Navy without even knowing how to swim properly, a decision that would lead him through the world's most grueling military training and eventually to SEAL Team 6.The psychological framework that carried Rob through countless missions resonates far beyond military applications. "Long-term goals are achieved through short-term goals," he explains, breaking down how SEALs compartmentalize seemingly impossible challenges. His philosophy on quitting – "Never quit right now. That's emotion. Quit tomorrow" – offers profound wisdom for anyone facing adversity.The heart of our conversation centers on the bin Laden raid – the 90-minute helicopter flight into Pakistan, the crash landing that threatened to derail the mission, and those fateful moments face-to-face with America's most notorious enemy. Rob's vivid recounting places you right beside him in that compound, experiencing the controlled chaos and split-second decisions that changed history.What stays with you longest isn't the tactical details, but the humanity behind the mission. These weren't supermen, but ordinary Americans with extraordinary training, willing to sacrifice everything not for glory, but for the victims of 9/11 who never chose to be in the fight. As Rob poignantly reflects, "We're going for the single mom who jumped to her death out of a skyscraper because that's a better alternative than whatever was happening at 2,500 degrees Fahrenheit."Listen now to hear one of the most consequential military operations in American history told by the man who lived it. Then ask yourself: What challenges in your own life might benefit from a SEAL's mindset?The Try That in a Small Town Podcast is powered by e|spaces!

Welcome back for the conclusion of my interview with Marine, FBI Special Agent, and HRT Operator Rob D’Amico. Rob D’Amico has over thirty-six years of federal government service—ten years in the United States Marine Corps and nearly twenty-seven with the Federal Bureau of Investigation. He is the founder and principal consultant for Sierra One Consulting.  Rob began a life of service when he enlisted as a US Marine during college at The Ohio State University in Columbus, Ohio, and, after obtaining his bachelor's degree, was commissioned as an officer and served his first overseas tour in the first Gulf War. His work on reconnaissance missions with the Marine Corps paved the way for Rob’s long and successful career with the FBI. After four years based out of the Bureau’s Miami, Florida field office, apprehending the most violent felons of South Florida as a member of a multi-agency violent crime fugitive task force, Rob transitioned into deep undercover work against the most notorious U.S. and Italian-based organized crime families. Rob was among the few selected to the FBI’s elite Hostage Rescue Team, in which he served as a sniper and was first deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan. Rob’s career with and beyond the HRT team placed him at each pivotal step in the resolution of kidnapping and hostile detention matters. He has worked on every facet of operations—negotiating hostage releases and exchanges, operating under the highest pressure against pirates, negotiators, warlords, leaders of terrorist networks, as well as with ambassadors, generals, foreign ministers, and non-government organizations.  From being deep undercover, going after the mob, to dealing with Somali pirates, Rob has had a career that movies are literally made of. Today’s episode, we go deep into a hostage rescue operation on the high seas, dealing with Somali pirates!   In today’s episode, we discuss: ·      The difference between HRT and SWAT in the FBI?  ·      What attributes should HRT operators have? ·      What does HRT training look like? ·      The hijacking of the American SV Quest by Somali pirates and Rob's mission as an FBI HRT operator embedded with Navy SEALs regarding this mission. ·      Four United States citizens on board and 19 pirates. ·      The ultimate conclusion to the kidnapping? ·      Jurisdiction issues and maintaining and processing a floating crime scene that was in danger of sinking. ·      Going onto Somali soil to investigate and make arrests? ·      The strain on his family during this and other operations like this. How did Rob deal with it? What is his advice to someone about to do something similar to this work? ·      Retirement, how difficult was it to walk away from all of this? How did he cope/adjust? All of this and more on today’s episode of the Cops and Writers podcast. Visit Rob at his website! Check out the new Cops and Writers YouTube channel!

On this episode of Next Level CRE, Matt Faircloth interviews Paul Moore. Paul shares his remarkable journey from selling his first company and chasing “shiny objects” that left him $2.5M in debt, to giving his way out during the 2008 crash, and eventually pivoting into real estate. He explains why multifamily wasn't the “perfect investment,” how Wellings Capital now focuses on fund-of-funds strategies using Pareto's principle to back only top-tier operators, and why diversification across operators, geographies, and asset classes is key. Paul also highlights how private equity firms vet operators, what passives should know about due diligence (including NOI audits), and how Wellings has raised over $800K to fight human trafficking through AIM Paul Moore Current role: Founder & Managing Partner, Wellings Capital Based in: Lynchburg, Virginia Say hi to them at: LinkedIn| Wellings Capital| AIM Free Get 50% Off Monarch Money, the all-in-one financial tool at www.monarchmoney.com with code BESTEVER Join the Best Ever Community  The Best Ever Community is live and growing - and we want serious commercial real estate investors like you inside.

With more than a quarter of Americans considering these medications, dining habits are changing fast, and restaurants are being forced to adapt.Ollie shares how quick-service brands can turn this disruption into opportunity by offering smaller portions, lower-sugar options, and smarter menus, without sacrificing profitability.TIMESTAMPS00:00 - Intro00:44 - The Impact of Appetite-Suppressing Drugs on Food Service06:59 - The Impact of Consumer Behavior on Food Service Trends19:44 - The Impact of AI on Customer Experience in Food Service22:23 - Optimizing Customer Engagement through Data29:47 - Future Innovations and Product StrategiesRESOURCESPortillo SalesCONTACT Nick: nick.portillo@portillosales.com

John Catsimatidis, Red Apple Media Owner & Operator, joins Sid for his weekly appearance on the program to discuss the upcoming Barrett Media Conference and his leadership award recognition. John reflects on the summer, the Tunnel to Towers Foundation, and the Police Athletic League being honored at the event. A major focus was Rudy Giuliani—Catsimatidis expressed relief after Giuliani's car accident, praised him as “America's Mayor,” and revealed that even President Trump agreed Rudy should return to WABC. John and Sid also discussed Trump's role as the event's honoree, his impact on America and the world, and global leaders' respect for him compared to President Biden. Catsimatidis criticized rising crime in cities like Chicago and New York, linking it to failed leadership, the decline of mental health institutions, and the influence of socialists in the Democratic Party. He emphasized Trump's strength, and his concern for New York's mayoral race. The conversation closed with a critique of fake news, praise for WABC's commitment to truth, and excitement about Friday's celebration honoring both Trump and WABC's growth under John, Margot, and Chad.

On today’s episode of the Cops and Writers Podcast, I have with me Rob D’Amico for this special two-part interview that will conclude next Sunday. Rob D’Amico has over thirty-six years of federal government service—ten years in the United States Marine Corps and nearly twenty-seven with the Federal Bureau of Investigation. He is the founder and principal consultant at Sierra One Consulting.  Rob began a life of service when he enlisted as a US Marine during college at The Ohio State University in Columbus, Ohio, and, after obtaining his bachelor's degree, was commissioned as an officer and served his first overseas tour in the first Gulf War. His work on reconnaissance missions with the Marine Corps opened the door to Rob’s long and successful career with the FBI. After four years based out of the Bureau’s Miami, Florida field office, apprehending the most violent felons of South Florida as a member of a multi-agency violent crime fugitive task force, Rob transitioned into deep undercover work against the most notorious U.S. and Italian-based organized crime families. Rob was among the few selected for the FBI’s elite Hostage Rescue Team, in which he served as a sniper and was first deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan. Rob’s career with and beyond the HRT team placed him at each pivotal step in the resolution of kidnapping and hostile detention matters. He has worked on every facet of operations—negotiating hostage releases and exchanges, operating under the highest pressure against pirates, negotiators, warlords, leaders of terrorist networks, as well as with ambassadors, generals, foreign ministers, and non-government organizations.  From being deep undercover, going after the mob, to dealing with Somali pirates, Rob has had a career that movies are literally made of.  Today’s episode, we do a deep dive into his beginnings and Marine career. We also dive into what goes on in the head of an FBI SWAT and HRT team member and brush on his undercover work. Next Sunday, we go deep into a hostage rescue operation on the high seas, dealing with Somali pirates!   In today’s episode, we discuss: ·      Thank you, Jerri Williams, over at the FBI File Review Podcast, for the intro. ·      What were Rob’s influences that led to his life of service to his country? ·      Marine Recon, the best of the best. Not just FBI, but high-risk undercover operations and HRT, high-speed operators, again, the best of the best. What instilled that in him? ·      What drove him to be the best of the best? What continues to drive him today?. ·      How does Rob deal with rejection? ·      What are the biggest misconceptions people have of the Marines and or combat? ·      What steered him towards the FBI? ·      When did he start doing undercover work? ·      What’s most important to the mob? ·      How soon into his career was he doing undercover work? ·      The difference between HRT and SWAT in the FBI. Who should be doing this work? What attributes should they have? All of this and more on today’s episode of the Cops and Writers podcast.

Richie Mashiko walks through how he took She's Birdie from a $3M loss and $6.5M in obligations to an operationally disciplined business paying down debt—without Meta ads. We break down the debt stack, negotiation order, cash-flow forecasting, and the exact operating changes that created free cash to service creditors.What you'll learn fast:- Debt triage that works: Prioritizing bank lines with personal guarantees, restructuring MCAs, sequencing suppliers and vendors, and why lawsuits are rarely the optimal path for counterparties.- Cash-flow clarity: How a weekly cash-flow model drives decisions and sets realistic paydown schedules.- Opex rightsizing: Cutting bloat from ~$500K/month to ~$75K, what to cut first, and how to preserve core capabilities.- Ad spend discipline: Turning off losing channels, operating with Amazon ads only, and rebuilding profitability before scale.- Unit economics that fund the plan: 90% landed margin before fulfillment, ~30% all-in cost of delivery, and why high margin + favorable terms enable rapid debt reduction.- Supplier terms that matter: 25% deposit, 75% net-120 after cargo-ready—how to negotiate (and keep) terms through a downturn.- Operator mindset: Replace vanity growth with durable free cash flow; define “winning” as consistent distributions, not fantasy exits.If you're feeling margin pressure, stuck in growth-at-all-costs habits, or unclear on your balance sheet, this episode gives you a concrete operating playbook you can adapt immediately.//CHAPTER TITLES:00:02:10 - The Rescue Mission Of She's Birdie 00:05:06 - Initial Growing Pains Post Covid (Product Development)00:11:49 - How We Almost Got Bought By Amazon00:16:55 - Breaking Down The Balance Sheet00:22:46 - Keeping The Bank From Freezing Assets00:24:05 - Operational Vs.

Today on TFB's Behind the Gun Podcast, we've brought back on Mr. Mike Slack from Engaged Industries to talk about some new developments, testing, and news he's got from his virtually brand new suppressor company. Mike's flagship suppressors, Operator 5.56 and Recon 7.62, use the unique VLB25 baffle system, which uses vacuum expansion design to help reduce the amount of gas coming back to the shooter. In addition, Mike's suppressors can also use his unique StealthLOK QD system, which eliminates carbon lock, is much quieter than other locking mechanisms, and also requires barely a ½ twist to be locked in tight. Today, Mike will share some of his latest developments from some testing he did with Pew Science, and also announce his huge 30% off sale for Military and Law Enforcement personnel, in addition to his already reduced prices on both of his flagship suppressors. Please give Mike a warm welcome back to the show!  https://engagedindustries.com/ Suppressor Engineer YouTube Channel https://www.instagram.com/engaged_ind/ https://rumble.com/c/EngagedIndustries https://www.youtube.com/@EngagedIndustries/videos

John Catsimatidis, Owner & Operator of Red Apple Media, calls into the program to discuss his concerns about the future of New York City, particularly under the potential leadership of mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani. He expresses unease from various communities, including the real estate, Italian, and Jewish sectors. Catsimatidis underscores the importance of the wealthy, who pay nearly half of the city's taxes, and the potential exodus if the new candidate is elected. He stresses the challenges facing the city's police force, with a significant number of officers leaving, and the ramifications on public safety. Reflecting on past mayoral administrations and current political dynamics, Catsimatidis also contemplates the regret of not having run for mayor himself. He emphasizes the need for New York City to collaborate with federal authorities to maintain safety and order. Additionally, he hints at a potential corporate move to New Jersey if Mamdani emerges as the winner of the Mayoral race come November. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
