Rob Nelson welcomes the all-star panel of Larry Kendall (Ninja Selling founder), Jack Miller (T3 Sixty CEO), and coach Mike Staver to the podcast today for a lively discussion on real estate industry shifts in light of the recent Compass-Anywhere merger. This episode explores industry consolidation, the psychological impact of change, and the crucial role of relationships in today's evolving real estate landscape, offering vital insights for real estate professionals and leaders navigating these transformations. The discussion meticulously examines whether current real estate market upheaval is an "event" or a sustained "process" of fundamental transformation and industry consolidation. Our experts emphasize an adaptable mindset for agents and effective leadership in directing change management, urging focus on controllables amid uncertainty. Listeners will grasp how robust relationships remain the ultimate currency in real estate brokerage and how effective culture is vital for successful mergers and enduring business growth, equipping them with strategies to thrive in this new era. Episode Highlights: Understanding the nature of current real estate industry shifts: event vs. process. Navigating real estate market consolidation and its long-term implications. The psychological impact of change on real estate agents and leaders. Cultivating a resilient mindset and focusing on the controllable elements. The enduring power of relationships as the core currency in real estate. The critical role of culture in successful mergers and organizational stability. Effective leadership strategies for guiding teams through uncertainty. The importance of talent management and clarity in a transforming real estate industry. Key Takeaways: "This is a process, not an event." "The practitioner real estate will be the least impacted for a while." "The beginning of the disruption is the acceptance that fear is the only emotion we get to choose." "Relationships are the currency. At the end of the day, this acquisition was valued, and all real estate brokerages are valued by the relationships that the agents have with their clients." "Basically, buyers and sellers choose people, and they choose that relationship." "What is happening? Okay, what is my response to what is happening? What can I control, what can I influence? Let's focus on that." "I think the companies that nail it are companies that go in with questions and an opportunity to learn, to get better themselves…humility and a curious heart, and the desire to understand what our new partners are doing better than us, and then integrating that.” Links: Website: https://ninjaselling.com/ninja-podcast/ Email: TSW@NinjaSelling.com  Phone: 1-800-254-1650  Podcast Facebook Group: http://www.facebook.com/groups/TheNinjaSellingPodcast Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/NinjaSelling  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ninjasellingofficial/# LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/ninjaselling  Upcoming Public Ninja Installations: https://NinjaSelling.com/events/list/?tribe_eventcategory%5B0%5D=183&tribe__ecp_custom_2%5B0%5D=Public  Ninja Coaching: http://www.NinjaSelling.com/course/ninja-coaching/ Larry Kendall: https://www.linkedin.com/in/larry-kendall-1078b61/ Jack Miller: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jackcmiller/ Mike Staver: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mike-staver/  

For many children, going barefoot isn't a choice—it's a daily struggle that puts their health, safety, and future at risk. But one pair of shoes can change that story.Today, we'll hear how Buckner Shoes for Orphan Souls is bringing hope and dignity to vulnerable children around the world. Shawn Spurrier joins us to share how God is changing lives through something as ordinary—and extraordinary—as shoes.Shawn Spurrier is the Director of Buckner Shoes for Orphan Souls at Buckner International, an underwriter of Faith & Finance. A Mission That Began in DallasBuckner Shoes for Orphan Souls started in 1999 as a local effort in Dallas, Texas, to serve children in Russian orphanages. Over 25 years later, God has expanded this work into a global ministry. Today, more than 5 million children in 86 countries have received shoes through the generosity of churches, businesses, and believers across the U.S.What began as a small act of compassion has grown into a worldwide movement of hope.More Than Shoes: Health, Safety, and EducationAround 300 million children worldwide lack access to shoes. This barrier affects nearly every aspect of life:Health—Shoes prevent footborne diseases, many of which carry social stigma and long-term consequences.Education—In many countries, shoes are required for school attendance. Without them, children are forced to stay home, trapped in cycles of poverty.Hope—Receiving shoes as a gift in Jesus' name opens hearts to the Gospel and connects families with life-changing ministries.Shoes are more than fabric and rubber—they are a bridge to dignity, opportunity, and transformation.Restoring Dignity for FamiliesFor many of us, buying new shoes for back-to-school is routine. But in parts of the world where Buckner serves, parents may spend months saving to afford just one pair—or go without entirely. Some families must rotate a single pair of shoes between siblings, deciding who can attend school on a given day.The gift of shoes restores dignity to parents, enabling them to provide for their children and giving kids the confidence to learn, grow, and thrive.Global Reach and Local ImpactBuckner's ministry extends both globally and locally:United States—Shoe distributions in Texas, including for families affected by flooding.Latin America—Serving children in Guatemala, the Dominican Republic, Mexico, Honduras, and Peru.Africa—Programs in Ethiopia and Kenya.Beyond—Partnerships have extended Buckner's reach into 75+ additional countries.Every pair of shoes opens the door to broader ministry. Family Hope Centers offer resources, education, and Christ-centered training, bringing lasting transformation to entire communities.How You Can JoinTogether, we're striving to provide 1,000 children with shoes, socks, and the message of God's love.$15 provides one child with shoes and socks.$150 equips ten children.Visit GiveShoesToday.org to make your gift and bring hope to a child in need.Shoes may seem ordinary, but in the life of a child, they are extraordinary. They represent safety, opportunity, dignity, and above all, the love of Christ.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I'm 40 and have several old 401(k) accounts from past employers. One advisor suggests consolidating them for an expected return of 8–10%, while another recommends a hedge fund offering 15–17% returns.

Episode 3294: Jacob Lund Fisker critiques the traditional middle-class career path as a costly distraction from true self-actualization, arguing that blindly pursuing job titles and material rewards can rob us of a more meaningful life. He challenges listeners to reimagine work and productivity, suggesting that even a few years of strategic earning can unlock a life driven by curiosity, creativity, and personal growth. Read along with the original article(s) here: http://earlyretirementextreme.com/how-to-avoid-career-opportunity-costs.html Quotes to ponder: "People who work regular jobs, it is very hard to feel a sense of meaning of the work one does, unless you really believe in the 'vision'." "There is an easy alternative, which involves working for 5 years and then saying: No, stop. It is not the standard I measure myself by." "Productivity is but a fetish that whoever feeds off of the middle class have invented for their benefit." Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Jacob Shapiro reconnects with Chase Taylor (of Pinecone Macro) for a wide-ranging conversation on U.S. competitiveness. The two dig into why electricity costs, labor shortages, and weak industrial policy matter far more than endless chatter about tariffs or rate cuts. They trade scenarios on how soaring power demand, grid fragility, and demographic decline could shape America's future against China. Along the way, they touch on robots, nearshoring to Mexico, farm policy, and why simple, obvious analysis is often the most powerful--Timestamps:(00:00) - Introduction(00:43) - Contrarian Views on US Macroeconomics(02:51) - Competitiveness and Power Prices(08:10) - Energy Policy and Grid Reliability(18:31) - Labor Market and Automation Challenges(22:31) - Global Competitiveness and Future Outlook(35:45) - Global Capital Flows and Economic Risks(38:05) - The Role of Stable Coins and Agriculture Insights(38:54) - Challenges and Opportunities in Agriculture(43:50) - Bitcoin and Digital Assets Discussion(51:19) - Investment Strategies and Market Outlook(56:23) - Policy Impacts and Future Concerns--Referenced in the Show:https://www.pineconemacro.com/--Jacob Shapiro Site: jacobshapiro.comJacob Shapiro LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/jacob-l-s-a9337416Jacob Twitter: x.com/JacobShapJacob Shapiro Substack: jashap.substack.com/subscribe --The Jacob Shapiro Show is produced and edited by Audiographies LLC.

Israel is often in the headlines for conflict—but there's another story you need to hear.Beyond the headlines, Israel has emerged as a global innovation hub and a rising player in international markets. Today, Brian Mumbert joins us to share why investing in Israel could be a strategic opportunity worth considering.Brian Mumbert is Vice President and Regional Sales Executive at Timothy Plan, an underwriter of Faith & Finance.Why Invest in Israel?At first glance, investing in a nation experiencing conflict may seem counterintuitive. But economies often demonstrate resilience in times of war. Israel is no exception. With robust defense spending, a thriving entrepreneurial spirit, and a deeply ingrained culture of saving and financial discipline, the nation continues to grow.In fact, one of Israel's largest banks gave out piggy banks to families nationwide to encourage saving—a small example of the country's ingrained culture of stewardship and fiscal responsibility.For those wondering about safety, Israel offers a surprisingly secure environment for investment. The Tel Aviv 125 Index, which tracks the nation's 125 largest companies, operates much like the U.S. stock exchanges. Israel has transitioned from an emerging to a developed economy, putting it in the same global category as many European nations. Its GDP is forecasted to grow by 3.3% in 2025 and 4.6% in 2026, with inflation targeted at a steady 2%—numbers comparable to the U.S. outlook.The “Startup Nation” AdvantageIsrael's reputation as a hub of innovation is well-earned. In 2024 alone, U.S. giants invested billions in Israeli startups. Google acquired cloud security firm Wiz for $32 billion, while Palo Alto Networks purchased CyberArk, an identity management leader, for $25 billion. Everyday technologies like Apple's Face ID and SodaStream also trace their roots back to Israel.Large U.S. companies buying small Israeli firms is common since it's part of the fabric of their economy.While technology dominates headlines, Israel's economy is diverse. Financials, industrials, and defense sectors have also posted strong returns. In fact, nearly every sector reported double-digit growth in 2025. The Israeli shekel has also appreciated, further boosting investor confidence.International ties enhance Israel's economic opportunities. The Abraham Accords have opened new trade relationships across the Middle East, while defense partnerships with Europe have surged amid global conflicts. Recent agreements, such as a $35 billion natural gas export deal with Egypt, demonstrate the nation's expanding role in global energy markets.The Timothy Plan Israel Common Values FundFor investors who want exposure to Israel's growth while remaining true to their faith, Timothy Plan offers the Israel Common Values Fund. This actively managed fund holds 58 companies, giving broad diversification within the Israeli market.True to Timothy Plan's mission, the fund excludes companies that profit from abortion, pornography, or other activities inconsistent with biblical values. Even in Israel, they carefully screen companies to ensure they align with Christian principles.Faith-based investors increasingly want their portfolios to reflect their values. Advances in technology have made it easier to screen companies for alignment, though Timothy Plan has been doing it faithfully since 1994. They're not just avoiding harmful investments, they're enabling believers to steward their resources in ways that honor God.”Practical Advice for InvestorsIf you've never seen faith-based options in your portfolio, start by talking to your advisor. Share what you're passionate about—your church involvement, your giving priorities, your desire for biblical stewardship. When advisors know your values, they can help you align your investments with them.The Timothy Plan Israel Common Values Fund provides a practical way to support Israel and benefit from its dynamic economy—all while investing according to biblical principles. To explore this opportunity, visit TimothyPlan.com.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I'd like some biblical insight on the power of tithing. I've even heard of people practicing ‘reverse tithing,' living on 10% and giving away 90%. What benefits might there be if we increased our giving to 15% or even 20%?My grandfather has invested in a commemorative coin collection for years.

That may be a missed opportunity for restaurants. Cameron and I talk about that.We also talk about the growing influence of third-party delivery companies and the overall results from the study. And we talked about what restaurant companies can do to improve the delivery experience for customers. We're talking delivery on A Deeper Dive so please check it out.

In this episode, Casey explores the true power of compounding — how time, trust, and disciplined habits create outcomes far greater than the sum of their parts. He shares how two decades of relationship equity, balance sheet building, and pattern recognition came together in a real estate transaction that turned an empty Class A office into a 12 year cash-flowing asset while unlocking $25M in equity.He reframes compounding beyond money into skills, reputation, and momentum. Drawing on Tony Robbins' framework of recognizing, utilizing, and creating patterns, Casey shows how consistent daily inputs set the stage for exponential results when opportunity arises.For high performers, he offers a practical system: a morning routine of cold plunge, sauna, prayer, breathwork, and 100 daily burpees, followed by three focusing questions — Who am I, What are my biggest opportunities, and What fires me up. The lesson is clear: small, intentional actions compound into extraordinary advantages over time.Learn how to expand compounding beyond finance into habits, reputation, and opportunity design. See the real estate case study step-by-step: buying a $42M building for $15M, securing a long-term tenant, financing in a brutal office market, and returning 100% of investor principal in nine months. Steal Casey's daily system (cold plunge, sauna, prayer/meditation, breathwork, 100 burpees, and three focusing questions) to build compounding advantages in your own life.

Our Head of India Research Ridham Desai and leaders from Morgan Stanley Investment Management Arjun Saigal and Jitania Kandhari discuss how India's promising macroeconomic trajectory and robust capital markets are attracting more interest from global investors. Read more insights from Morgan Stanley.----- Transcript ----- Ridham Desai: Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Ridham Desai, Morgan Stanley's Head of India Equity Research and Chief India Equity Strategist. Today, the once in a generation investment opportunities Morgan Stanley sees in India. Joining me in the studio, Arjun Saigal, Co-Head of Morgan Stanley Investment Management at India Private Equity, and Jitania Khandari, Morgan Stanley Investment Management, Head of Macros and Thematic Research for EM Public Equity. It's Tuesday, September 23rd at 4pm in Mumbai. Jitania Kandhari: And 6:30am in New York. Ridham Desai: Right now, India is already the world's fourth largest economy, and we believe it's on track to becoming the third largest by the end of this decade. If you've been following our coverage, you know, Morgan Stanley has been optimistic about India's future for quite some time. It's really a perfect storm – in a good way. India has got a growing young workforce, steady inflation, and is benefiting from some big shifts in the global landscape. When you put all of that together, you get a country that's set up for long-term growth. Of course, India is also facing pressure from escalating tariffs with the U.S., which makes this conversation even more timely. Jitania, Arjun, what are the biggest public and private investment opportunities in India that you'd highlight. Jitania Kandhari: I'd say in public equities there are five broad thematic opportunities in India. Financialization of savings and structurally lower credit costs; consumption with an aspirational consumer and a growing middle-class; localization and supply chain benefits as a China +1 destination; digitization with the India stack that is helping to revolutionize digital services across industries; and CapEx revivals in real estate and industrials, especially defense and electrification. Arjun Saigal: I will just break down the private markets into three segments. The first being the venture capital segment. Here, it's generally been a bit of hit or miss; some great success stories, but there've also been a lot of challenges with scale and liquidity. Coming to the large cap segment, this is the hundred million dollars plus ticket size, which attracts the large U.S. buyout funds and sovereign wealth funds. Here target companies tend to be market leaders with scale, deep management strength, and can be pretty easily IPO-ed. And we have seen a host of successful PE-backed IPOs in the space. However, it has become extremely crowded given the number of new entrants into the space and the fact that regional Asia funds are allocating more of their dollars towards India as they shift away from China. The third space, which is the mid-market segment, the $50- to $100 million ticket size is where we believe lies the best risk reward. Here you're able to find mid-size assets that are profitable and have achieved market leadership in a region or product. These companies have obvious growth drivers, so it's pretty clear that your capital's able to help accelerate a company's growth path. In addition, the sourcing for these deals tends to be less process driven, creating the ability to have extended engagement periods, and not having to compete only on price. In general, it's not overly competitive, especially when it comes to control transactions. Overall, valuations are more reasonable versus the public markets and the large cap segment. There are multiple exit routes available through IPO or sale to large cap funds. We're obviously a bit biased given our mid-market strategy, but this is where we feel you find the best risk reward. Ridham Desai: Jitania, how do these India specific opportunities compare to other Emerging Markets and the developed world? Jitania Kandhari: I will answer this question from two perspectives. The macro and the markets. From a macro perspective, India, as you said, has better demographics, low GDP per capita with catchup potential, low external vulnerability, and relatively better fiscal dynamics than many other parts of the world.It is a domestic driven story with a domestic liquidity cycle to support that growth story. India has less export dependency compared to many other parts of the emerging and developed world, and is a net oil importer, which has been under pressure actually positively impacting commodity importers. Reforms beginning in 2017 from demonetization, GST, RERA and other measures to formalize the economy is another big difference. From a market standpoint, it is a sectorally diversified market. The top three sectors constitute 50 percent in India versus around 90 percent in Taiwan, 66 percent in Brazil, and 57 percent overall in EM. Aided by a long tail of sectors, India screens as a less concentrated market when compared to many emerging and developed markets. Ridham Desai: And how do tariffs play into all this? Jitania Kandhari: About 50 percent of exports to the U.S. are under the 50 percent tariff rate. Net-net, this could impact 30 to 80 basis points of GDP growth.Most impacted are labor intensive sectors like apparel, leather, gems and jewelry. And through tax cuts like GST and monetary policy, government is going to be able to counter the first order impacts. But having said that, India and U.S. are natural partners, and hence this could drag on and have second order impacts. So can't see how this really eases in the short term because neither party is too impacted by the first order impacts. U.S. can easily replace Indian imports, and India can take that 30 basis point to 50 basis points GDP impact. So, this is very unlike other trade deals where one party would have been severely impacted and thus parts were created for reversals. Ridham Desai: What other global themes are resonating strongly for India? And conversely, are there themes that are not relevant for investing in India? Jitania Kandhari: I think broadly three themes globally are resonating in India. One is demographics with the growing cohort of millennials and Gen Z, leading to their aspirations and consumption patterns. India is a large, young urbanizing population with a large share in these demographic cohorts. Supply chain diversification, friend-shoring, especially in areas like electronics, technology, defense, India is an integral part of that ecosystem. And industrials globally are seeing a revival, especially in areas like electrification with the increased usage of renewables. And India is also part of that story given its own energy demands. What are the themes not relevant for investing in India is the aging population, which is one of the key themes in markets like North Asia and Eastern Europe, where a lot of the aging population drivers are leading to investment and consumption patterns. And with the AI tech revolution, India has not really been part of the AI picks and shovels theme like other markets in North Asia, like Korea, Taiwan, and even the Chinese hardware and internet names. Globally, in selected markets, utilities are doing well, especially those that are linked to the AI data center energy demand; whereas in India, this sector is overregulated and under-indexed to growth. Ridham Desai: Arjun, how does India's macro backdrop impact the private equity market in particular? Arjun Saigal: So, today India has scale, growth, attractive return on capital and robust capital markets. And frankly, all of these are required for a conducive investment environment. I also note that from a risk lens, given India being a large, stable democracy with a reform-oriented government, this provides extra comfort of the country being an attractive place to invest. You know, we have about $3 billion of domestic money coming into the stock market each month through systematic investment plans. This tends to be very stable money, versus previously where we relied on foreign flows, which were a lot more volatile in nature. This, in turn, makes for some very attractive PE exits into the public markets. Ridham Desai: Are there some significant intersections between the public and private equity markets? Arjun Saigal: You know, it tends to be quite limited, but we do see two areas. The first being pre-IPO rounds, which have been taking place recently in India, where we do see listed public funds coming into these pre-IPO rounds in order to ensure a certain minimum allocation in a company. And secondly, we do see that in certain cases, PE investors have been selectively making pipe investments in sectors like financial services, which have multiple decade tailwinds and require regular capital for growth. Unlike developed markets, we've not seen too many take private deals being executed in India due to the complex regulatory framework. This is perhaps an area which can open up more in the future if the process is simplified. Ridham Desai: Finally, as a wrap up, what do you both think are the key developments and catalysts in India that investors should watch closely? Arjun Saigal: We believe there are a couple of factors, one being repeat depreciation. Historically this has been at 2.5 to 3 percent, and unfortunately, it's been quite expensive to hedge the repeat. So, the way to address this is to sort of price it in. The second is full valuations. India has never been a cheap market, but in certain pockets, valuations of listed players are becoming quite concerning and those valuations in turn immediately push up prices in the large ticket private market space. And lastly, I would just mention tariffs, which is an evolving situation. Jitania Kandhari: I would add a couple more things. Macro equilibrium in India should be sustained – as India has been in one of the best positions from a macroeconomic standpoint. Private sector CapEx is key to drive the next leg of growth higher. Opportunities for the youth to get productively employed is critical in development of an economy. And India has always been in a geopolitical sweet spot in the last few years, and with the tariff situation that needs some resolution and close monitoring. All of this is important for nominal growth, which ultimately drives nominal earnings growth in India that are needed to justify the high valuations. Ridham Desai: Arjun, Jitania, thank you both for your insights. Arjun Saigal: Great speaking with you Ridham. Jitania Kandhari: Thank you for having us on the show. Ridham Desai: And thanks for listening. If you enjoy Thoughts on the Market, please leave us a review wherever you listen and share the podcast with a friend or colleague today.

Health systems know they need to pull out all the stops when it comes to improving operational efficiency, given their financial climate. That doesn't necessarily mean they need entirely new strategies — but they do need to make the most of the tried-and-true tactics. Care variation reduction (CVR) has been part of the operational excellence playbook for years. The opportunity for efficiency and cost savings through CVR is massive—about $100B nationally — but the vast majority of health systems have not been able to unlock its full potential. This week, host Abby Burns invites Advisory Board provider operations expert Isis Monteiro to break down what's getting in the way of realizing that $100B, and how leaders can start to move the needle. We're here to help: Ep. 239: UNC Health: The care variation reduction story you need to hear Care Variation Reduction Assessment Identify your biggest opportunities for care variation reduction 6 strategies to improve your operating margins and financial resilience [Webinar] Care variation reduction: A $100B savings opportunity Learn from the 100+ health system finance leaders who participated in Advisory Board's capital spending survey — and find out how health systems are making capital decisions today.

In the wake of the Charlie Kirk tragedy, as I was reflecting on what unites us amidst intense political division, I thought who better to come on to discuss this than Aubrey Marcus - a visionary podcaster, writer, and poet. Aubrey and I delve deep into what shared values we can focus on that transcend politics, religious dogma, and cultural conventions. We explore the desensitization caused by social media, the importance of recognizing shared humanity, and the dangers of labeling individuals based on their political beliefs. The discussion emphasizes the need for open dialogue, the spectrum of values, and the potential for redemption and transformation in individuals. Ultimately, we advocate for finding common ground and uniting against anti-value ideologies while acknowledging the good intentions behind differing beliefs.The Illusion of Consensus is a reader-supported publication.

It sucks to lose a mural job. Period. It also sucks to see another artist land the job you really wanted. Let's just be real—it's easier said than done to feel happiness for someone who got the opportunity you were reaching for.In this week's Artist Academy Podcast, I'm sharing stories from my own career where I've been on both sides of that coin. I'll walk you through how I overcame those negative feelings and reframed them into something useful. Instead of dwelling on what I didn't get, I've learned to ask:• How can I stand out in a crowd?• How can I niche down even more?• How can I enjoy what I do daily, even more?• How am I already different from other muralists in my area?This episode is all about choosing community over competition, sticking to your value instead of lowering your prices, and finding your unique edge.And before I wrap up, I'll also give you details about the 2026 Costa Rica Mural Meetup —a week of mural painting, spray and latex training, sunrise yoga, and jungle adventures.

Amid evolving trade dynamics, CBRE experts reveal how nearshoring, supply chain reinvention and revitalized twin-plant models are reshaping industrial markets on both sides of the U.S.-Mexico border. Notably, demand for logistics space and construction activity is booming along the I-35 Corridor.Key takeaways on U.S.-Mexico Border Markets: · Port Laredo Surpasses Traditional Gateways: Currently the top U.S. import hub by value, Laredo's rise reflects a structural shift in trade flows. Demand for modern logistics facilities near the U.S.'s southern border continues to grow. · Kansas City Leads for Absorption and Connectivity: With 28% leasing growth and strategically situated along I-35 with access to a newly unified Canada–Mexico rail system, Kansas City is emerging as a central node for North–South supply chains—ideal for occupiers seeking scalable inland distribution. · 14M+ SF Under Construction in El Paso and Laredo. These border markets are seeing major development of automation-ready cold storage and FTZ-enabled facilities. This signals long-term confidence and presents opportunities for early investment in next-gen industrial assets. · Twin-Plant Models Resurge: The return of dual facilities operating on both sides of the border is fueling demand for more sophisticated manufacturing and distribution space t. Occupiers should evaluate cross-border strategies to optimize labor and logistics. · Keen Competition to Secure Labor Cost Advantages: Border markets offer up to 70% labor cost savings vs. most U.S. cities, and have a skilled workforce. However, occupiers must act strategically to secure talent in a highly competitive market.

Can you really invest in tax sales from anywhere in the world without ever stepping foot at an auction? The answer is yes, but not in the way social media makes it look.In this episode of The Tax Sale Podcast, I share the truth about remote tax sale investing. I explain why it's possible and how I've been doing it for more than twenty years, the hidden challenges of buying properties from afar, how to avoid the Instagram lifestyle trap that costs investors money, and the steps you need to research, scout, and succeed in remote markets.Remote tax sales aren't a shortcut...they're a business. But if you approach them seriously, they can open up opportunities across the entire country.

In this episode of Zen and the Art of Real Estate Investing, Jonathan welcomes Blake Rodgers, co-founder and principal at Steel Peak. Blake specializes in industrial outdoor storage (IOS). This niche asset class includes contractor yards, equipment rental facilities, and bulk material sites across the Western U.S. He shares how his early experiences in real estate shaped his career, why IOS presents such a compelling opportunity, and how his firm is building a portfolio designed for long-term value. Blake's journey from college football player to commercial broker and eventually principal investor highlights the power of mentorship, networking, and staying focused on a specific buy box. He explains how Steel Peak sources deals, why mom-and-pop owners often present the best opportunities, and how value is created through repositioning and leasing to long-term, sticky tenants. Jonathan and Blake also discuss the importance of partnerships, capital strategies, and building credibility with brokers in a specialized market. If you've ever wondered about the potential of IOS properties or how niching down can accelerate growth, this conversation will give you a look at a less familiar but highly scalable investment path. In this episode, you will hear: Blake's journey from college athlete to co-founding Steel Peak The influence of real estate clubs and internships on his career path Distinctions between industrial outdoor storage and traditional industrial assets Opportunities created by mom-and-pop ownership in this niche space Building teams and partnerships to support long-term growth Repositioning underutilized properties for national tenants Tenant demand driven by construction, transportation, and utility sectors Shifts from syndications to institutional capital as Steel Peak scales The credibility that comes with niching down in a specialized market Long-term value creation as the guiding principle for Steel Peak's portfolio Follow and Review: We'd love for you to follow us if you haven't yet.

Have you ever caught yourself thinking "the job market is impossible" and felt completely defeated? In this episode, I'm going on a passionate rant about why this mindset is keeping you stuck and what you should focus on instead to get faster results.I break down how thoughts like "the job market is a dumpster fire" create feelings of discouragement that lead to ineffective actions—like frantically applying to more jobs or going back to school for months. These scattered approaches don't address the real problem: you haven't learned to communicate your unique value effectively.Instead of following the crowd into scarcity thinking, I'll show you how to tap into the "current of opportunities" by identifying your hidden gifts and connecting with the right people. Learn why real value doesn't demand attention, how to stop seeking validation from employers, and why approaching your job search from a place of wholeness—not neediness—is what actually attracts opportunities.Get full show notes and more information here: https://www.nataliefishertraining.com/episode-250
