Passive solar design has been around since forever. It just means that a builder makes siting and design choices that use the sun and shade to keep a building warm or cool. What were these choices? In modern times, but pre-HVAC systems, they included locating windows for heat gain or cooling, creating opportunities for air flow, and using the natural environment to shade or shelter homes.Our modern and mid-century homes rely heavily on heating and cooling systems that require power, but we can still incorporate passive solar strategies to reduce our enery use and improve our comfort.   In Today's Episode You'll Hear:Why we stopped using passive solar design. How to get big wins from small changes. Key principles you can use right now to cool your home with less energy. Get the full show notes with all the trimmings at https://www.midmod-midwest.com/2108Want us to create your mid-century master plan?

In this Tax Tuesday episode, Anderson attorneys Amanda Wynalda, Esq., and Eliot Thomas, Esq., explore the limitations of renting home office space to yourself as a sole proprietor and explain superior alternatives through S and C corporations that unlock better deductions and reimbursement opportunities. The attorneys provide detailed guidance on properly paying children through family businesses to maximize tax benefits while avoiding employment taxes, and discuss the complexities of transferring real estate to children through gift strategies. They dive deep into syndication investments, explaining passive income treatment, cost segregation benefits, and how real estate professional status can transform passive losses into active deductions. Other key topics include the master lease strategy for short-term rental owners seeking to optimize tax benefits, the mechanics and restrictions of 1031 exchanges, medical expense reimbursements through C corporations (including controversial deductions for specialty foods and safety equipment), and the proper setup timeline for nonprofit organizations. Tune in for expert insights on these advanced tax strategies and more! Submit your tax question to taxtuesday@andersonadvisors.com Highlights/Topics: "Can I rent my home office to myself as a sole proprietor?" - No, use home office deduction instead. "I know an owner of a small business can pay their kids to work for their company. I've heard several different facts about how exactly to do that, which contradict one another. Can you please explain the proper steps?" - Pay kids W-2 from sole prop, avoid taxes. "We were advised to transfer real estate to our children up to a certain limit using the parent-child transfer provision form 709. Can you please discuss the advantages and disadvantages? Any limitations on the amount of equity transfer and any IRS requirements, etc.?" - Not recommended, complex bookkeeping, lose stepped-up basis. "I want to join a syndication as a limited partner. What tax implications do I face at the time of distribution of profits and how does it change if they do a cost segregation and bonus depreciation while I'm still part of this syndication? An additional fact is that this person has their own long-term rental." - Passive income, and cost segregation create offsetting losses. "Are you entitled to cost segregation benefits if you invest in a syndication with your IRA/401k funds?" - Yes allocated, but no tax benefit in retirement. "Please explain the C Corporation Master Lease strategy for short-term rental owners. I own a short-term rental but was unable to capitalize on the short-term rental loophole because I had used professional property management. Does this strategy provide any advantage to somebody in my situation or allow me to take advantage of the loophole in a different way? How would the tax breakdown work in this case if I created a management C corporation?" - C corp manages property, shifts income, enables reimbursements. "What is the downside of using a 1031 exchange to avoid taxes in a profit transaction? Are there any benefits?" - Strict deadlines, higher debt required, but defers taxes. "What are the medical expenses aside from doctor visits and out-of-pocket medications allowed as reimbursable from the C corp? A doctor has recommended including antioxidant foods in our diet to improve my spouse's diet due to a specific condition. Is it reimbursable if we buy foods that are not really on our regular grocery list? Only because our doctor suggested it. Additionally, the other day, my spouse slipped on one of the floor mats, so I had to buy rug grippers. Is this also reimbursable?" - Doctor's note rule applies, antioxidants questionable, grippers no. "I would like to know if I can start a business as a nonprofit before I begin doing the work. Or do I have to already be up and running?" - Set up a nonprofit entity first for protection.

Tackle Roth IRA strategies, dollar cost averaging, passive investing risks, strategic retirement withdrawals, and more. Whether you're planning early retirement or optimizing your current portfolio, Wes and Christa deliver actionable insights and answer listener questions, including: • Is Passive Investing Creating a Bubble? Are index funds inflating markets? Or do global diversification and ongoing price discovery demonstrate otherwise? Is it a mistake to dismiss all active strategies? • Roth IRA Allocation Roth IRAs often have the longest time horizon. Does that make them ideal for more aggressive, all-stock index fund investing? • How to Diversify an IRA After a Rollover Is it helpful to go beyond S&P 500 funds with mid- and small-caps? Treasuries? Corporates? REITs? Commodities? Energy pipeline investments? • Avoid Paying Roth Conversion Taxes from a Roth? Does it reduce long-term value to use Roth funds to pay taxes on a conversion? Is it okay to spread conversions over several years? • What Is Dollar Cost Averaging (DCA)? DCA can help reduce timing risk by investing consistently over time. Is it beneficial for large cash amounts and emotional ease? • Investing a Lump Sum? What About a 50/50 Split? Should you consider investing half up front and dollar cost averaging the rest over several months for balanced risk and reward? • Effective Withdrawal Strategy in Retirement Is it more strategic to pull from bonds/cash rather than stocks in down markets? • Should You Use Target Date Funds? They can be handy early in your career, but do some get too conservative by retirement age? • Is the Reverse Glide Path Worth It? Starting conservative and getting more aggressive later may look good on paper, but does its complexity overshoot its practicality in real life? Learn more about your ad choices.

SuperAnnotate is revolutionizing how companies manage their AI training data with a comprehensive infrastructure platform. Having raised over $53 million in funding, SuperAnnotate has evolved from a specialized algorithm for autonomous vehicles to a centralized data hub that enables enterprises to collaborate with multiple service providers and internal teams. In this episode of Category Visionaries, we spoke with Vahan Petrosyan, CEO and Co-Founder of SuperAnnotate, who shared his journey from PhD student to tech founder and unpacked his vision for creating what he describes as "a database for training data" - similar to Databricks but specialized for AI training data. Topics Discussed: SuperAnnotate's evolution from algorithm to comprehensive data labeling infrastructure The journey from academic research to founding a tech startup How an early contract with an autonomous driving company validated their solution The strategic pivot from competing with service providers to creating a collaborative ecosystem The transformation of their go-to-market strategy to create stickier enterprise relationships SuperAnnotate's focus on building a centralized training data platform for enterprise AI The importance of automation and "SuperAnnotate agents" for AI data operations How customizability has enabled SuperAnnotate to support diverse generative AI use cases GTM Lessons For B2B Founders: Recognize when to stop competing and start collaborating: Vahan's most important go-to-market decision was shifting from competing with service providers to creating an infrastructure that enables collaboration. "That's one of the mindset shifts... we are trying to build an ecosystem with our partners, not really trying to compete with them," he explains. B2B founders should consider whether creating an ecosystem platform might be more valuable than directly competing in fragmented service markets. Solution engineers are crucial for enterprise AI sales: Vahan emphasized that "solution engineering is super important because as you're touching enterprise AI, your solution engineers are more or less the core part of your team." Without proper technical enablement, enterprise customers won't be able to implement complex AI solutions. B2B founders selling sophisticated technology should invest heavily in solution engineering capabilities. Build for adaptability in rapidly evolving markets: SuperAnnotate achieved 3x growth by making their platform "fully customizable to any use case." Vahan noted, "If tomorrow there will be a new agentic workflow, then we'll be able to support it." Rather than offering point solutions, B2B founders in emerging technology spaces should build adaptable platforms that can evolve with changing market needs. Passive fundraising often yields better results than active campaigns: Vahan shared a counterintuitive fundraising insight: "Whenever I was actively fundraising, I was doing something wrong." His most successful raises came from casual coffees with investors who approached him, not from pitching dozens of VCs. B2B founders might benefit from focusing on building relationships and demonstrating value rather than running intensive fundraising campaigns. Enterprise AI is a long-term bet: Looking 3-5 years ahead, Vahan sees enterprise AI as the major opportunity. "Companies have datasets sitting in silos, but that dataset is gold," he explains. The ability to "transform that dataset to training data in a fast and accurate manner will define your moat moving forward." B2B founders should consider how their solutions can help enterprises unlock value from proprietary data.   //   Sponsors: Front Lines — We help B2B tech companies launch, manage, and grow podcasts that drive demand, awareness, and thought leadership. www.FrontLines.io The Global Talent Co. — We help tech startups find, vet, hire, pay, and retain amazing marketing talent that costs 50-70% less than the US & Europe.  www.GlobalTalent.co  

Discernment: Cruciformity is Active, Not Passive. On this episode of the Voxology podcast, Mike Erre and Tim Stafford focus on discernment in faith, the essence of Christian identity, and the importance of critiquing ideologies rather than individuals. They emphasize the need for community engagement and humanizing conversations across divides, particularly in the context of immigration and societal issues. Further, Tim and Mike explore the complexities of homelessness, systemic issues, and the role of faith in addressing societal challenges. They discuss the importance of understanding the root causes of homelessness, the church's responsibility in promoting human flourishing, and the significance of inclusivity at Jesus' table. The dialogue also delves into the church's political involvement, the concept of cruciformity, and the challenges of navigating emotional overload while advocating for justice. Ultimately, they emphasize the need for a Christ-like approach to engagement in the world. "Lean In" with Matthew Soerens and Mike Erre: RSVP Unless it sounds/acts like Jesus, it's not Christian Who is the real enemy?

Passive friendship vs Active friendship!

What if the volatility we're seeing is not a pause in the cycle, but the start of something lasting? In this episode, Cem Karsan sits down with Jim Bianco to unpack the forces reshaping the market and the political landscape around it. From the roots of labor unrest in 1880s Chicago to rising tariffs and inflation today, they trace how decades of policy widened inequality and fractured the middle. This is a conversation about debt, power, and the limits of the old playbook. The Fed may no longer be able to step in. Passive investing may no longer offer safety. If you are still positioned for the past, this episode is a clear signal to rethink what comes next.-----50 YEARS OF TREND FOLLOWING BOOK AND BEHIND-THE-SCENES VIDEO FOR ACCREDITED INVESTORS - CLICK HERE-----Follow Niels on Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube or via the TTU website.IT's TRUE ? – most CIO's read 50+ books each year – get your FREE copy of the Ultimate Guide to the Best Investment Books ever written here.And you can get a free copy of my latest book “Ten Reasons to Add Trend Following to Your Portfolio” here.Learn more about the Trend Barometer here.Send your questions to info@toptradersunplugged.comAnd please share this episode with a like-minded friend and leave an honest Rating & Review on iTunes or Spotify so more people can discover the podcast.Follow Cem on Twitter.Follow Jim on X.Episode TimeStamps: 02:01 - Introduction to Jim Bianco and Bianco Research06:36 - The big macro picture view16:02 - The financial inequality is at an all time high22:51 - The power of generational wealth24:07 - The imbalance of politics - something has to change27:47 - Why we will see a major shift in how we invest soon30:19 - How the economy is changing36:10 - What defines a strong economy?40:58 - What is Trump talking about?45:36 - The outlook of the economy53:33 - The core of the political problems in the US55:16 - How to benefit from the current market...

"Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice. Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you." Ephesians 4:31-32. This week I take a look at what it truly means to "gentle parent." I believe there is a big misunderstanding about what gentle parenting means, often leaving parents to believe that in order to be a gentle parent, we must never let our children get upset or disappointed. But my dear friends, gentle parenting does not mean passive parenting. No, we are called to train up our children in the way they should go, and with guidance, boundaries, and expectations, we can do this with a gentle love. Have an episode idea you want to hear about?

Does fear hold you back from the gifts of the Spirit? Do you care more about what people think of you or what God thinks? Rabbi Schneider shares that the same gifts that Jesus used are still ours today. The same annointing that was on Jesus is on us also. Believe God for more and break out of having a passive spirit that worries about what people think rather than what God thinks. God will open greater revelation, but we have to be bold in our faith. Speak faith to doubt. Ask God to help you to have more faith. Put God first.

Sandhya Seshadri is the founder of Engineered Capital, a firm focused on helping professionals grow their wealth through commercial real estate and alternative investments. With a background in engineering, an MBA in finance, and a successful career in stock trading, she became financially independent before shifting her focus to real estate. Since 2018, Sandhya has been an active multifamily syndicator and passive investor in multiple asset classes including oil & gas and tech funds, bringing her analytical skill set and passion for tax-efficient investing to her growing investor community.     Make sure to download our free guide, 7 Questions Every Passive Investor Should Ask, here. Key Takeaways Sandhya began investing in stocks but transitioned to real estate for better tax advantages and cash flow. She started as a passive investor in multifamily before becoming an active general partner. Rising interest rates reshaped her strategy, leading her to explore oil & gas and technology funds. Passive investing offers the ability to leverage other people's expertise while generating income and appreciation. Asset class diversification and risk tolerance should drive investment decisions, not just projected returns.     Topics From Engineering to Investing Started in corporate America but pursued investing to achieve financial independence. Learned to trade stocks and used that income to replace her W-2 job. Discovered real estate as a tax-advantaged strategy after hitting a tax ceiling with stock gains. Why Multifamily and Syndications Skipped single-family due to lack of appreciation and headaches from managing tenants and maintenance. Multifamily appealed due to professional property management, scalability, and the ability to raise capital from investors. Took the “passenger to pilot” approach—starting as an LP, then a co-GP, and finally a lead GP. Shifting the Strategy: From CRE to Alternatives Rising interest rates, property taxes, and insurance costs eroded multifamily cash flow. Pivoted to alternative investments that better suited current market conditions. Launched tech fund offerings for high-upside, long-term appreciation plays. Invested in oil & gas deals offering strong tax advantages and predictable cash flow backed by mineral rights. Carefully vets all deals personally before introducing them to investors. Oil & Gas Investing Explained Buys into mineral rights after oil is confirmed, reducing drilling risk. Returns often include 80% year-one depreciation via K-1 and cash flow within 24 months. No depreciation recapture and potential for 2.5–3x returns over a 7-year period. Great option for high-income professionals seeking tax relief and diversification. Investor Education and Risk Management Every asset class has its risks—invest small first, understand the model, and scale gradually. Focus on understanding the operator, the assumptions behind returns, and aligning with your personal goals. Diversify across asset types, hold periods, and cash flow profiles.

Passive investing in private offerings can yield above market returns, it can also be a complete disaster. Apart from evaluating proforma numbers, it's critical to evaluate the General Partner and the team. The numbers are generic, the intangibles, including the character of who you're investing with, are less quantifiable and therefore harder to vet. There are too many newer, and generally inexperienced operators, cutting their teeth on passive investor's life savings. Unfortunately, this often results in investors losing their money. Mike Arndorfer, Founder of A2 Passive Coaching, helps passive investors avoid losses and secure gains by vetting deals they're considering investing in. 

In this episode, I sit down with Kathleen Kobel, an Amazon expert and passive income strategist, for a practical and eye-opening conversation on building revenue streams beyond your art or services. From flipping textbooks to becoming a successful Amazon influencer, Kathleen walks us through how creators—yes, even without a huge following—can start earning commissions through Amazon's Influencer Program and create content that keeps working for them in the background. If you've been looking for ways to diversify your income, monetize the products you already use, or add something scalable to your creative business, this episode is full of insights you can take action on today. We talk about: How Kathleen got started by reselling textbooks—and why simplicity is key when beginning What the Amazon Influencer Program is and how it actually works Why you don't need a big following to earn commissions on Amazon How to create UGC (user-generated content) that Amazon loves The types of product videos that perform well (and how to start with what you already own) How much time it really takes to see results—and why it's still worth it Product selection strategies that can make or break your earnings Why Amazon does most of the heavy lifting when it comes to marketing How this can be a truly passive income stream with upfront effort Creative ways to repurpose content and save time This is a must-listen for anyone looking to add passive income streams to their creative business without burning out or starting from scratch. Tools and takeaways: You can earn commissions even with a small or no audience UGC sells—real content from real people builds trust Repurpose what you're already using and loving Time investment up front can lead to long-term income Diversifying income creates more freedom and stability Amazon's built-in audience means less pressure on you to “sell” Passive income = more space to be creative elsewhere Start messy—it doesn't have to be perfect to work Connect with Kathleen Kobel Website: https://kathleenkobel.com YouTube: Kathleen Kobel Book: The Unconventional Business Model    

Crappy Assets - #239 In this episode of The Real Estate Reserve Podcast, Jason and Ian dive deep into what makes a market — or specific deal — worth investing in today. They unpack the realities behind appreciation-based investing, why not all “affordable” markets are created equal, and the importance of timing, location, and long-term thinking. Whether you're navigating single-family rentals, value-add multifamily, or storage plays, this episode is packed with hard-earned insights on de-risking your portfolio and building toward the “perfect” asset. ✅ Key Takeaways: Why strong local ecosystems matter more than low prices alone Lessons from investing in areas like Cecil County, Joppa, and parts of Baltimore The role of strategy: Long-term vs. short-term investing in volatile areas How misjudging appreciation potential can crush returns Why it might be time to sell — and why that mindset shift matters The difference between a good deal and a good long-term investment The real cost of turnover in rental properties The dream asset: Passive income, low headache, high return

One of my clients has the dream setup: A solid YouTube following Tens of thousands of people visiting his site every month A clean, self-checkout flow for his freelance services Sounds awesome, right? But when we looked under the hood… He was making just $0.23 per visitor. Twenty. Three. Cents. Let that sink in. That's LESS than $5k/month from 20,000 website visitors. I nearly threw my laptop. That same traffic, with a real sales process? Could be worth $20k… even $50k. This is the myth of passive sales. It feels efficient. It looks scalable. But for service businesses? It's an income-killer. Passive sales feel great… until you realize you're leaving tens of thousands of dollars on the table. Every. Single. Month. Your income per website visitor is way more important than your total traffic. That single metric—earnings per visitor—exposes how effective (or broken) your sales process really is. Most freelancers think more eyeballs = more money. In this episode, I break down why you don't need more traffic. You need more $$$ per visitor. I'm talking: The full sales strategy spectrum (passive → async → real convos) How to balance your time and make more per visitor And how a small tweak to your sales flow can 10x your earnings per visitor If you're serious about hitting $100k, $250k, or beyond, this is the lever to pull.

Paul Shannon is a real estate investor, fund manager, and co-host of the PassivePockets podcast. After spending 15 years in medical device sales, Paul transitioned into full-time real estate in 2019. He has acquired over 200 residential units through creative strategies like BRRRR and joint ventures and is an LP in 40+ deals across multifamily, industrial, debt funds, and more. Today, he runs Invest Wise Collective, an opportunistic investment fund focused on delivering diversified returns through both GP and LP positions.     Make sure to download our free guide, 7 Questions Every Passive Investor Must Ask, here. Key Takeaways Paul left a successful sales career to pursue real estate full-time after realizing he wanted more purpose, freedom, and control. He failed as a property manager early on but used that lesson to scale through partnerships and better team delegation. Invest Wise Collective takes a capital-agnostic, asset-agnostic approach to investing—balancing risk, return, and diversification. Passive investors should focus on sponsor alignment, risk tolerance, and consistent underwriting inputs over flashy return metrics. Community and mentorship are essential for new and seasoned LPs alike—there's power in learning from others' experiences.     Topics From Medical Sales to Real Estate Freedom Paul started with single-family rentals and flips, managing properties himself while still in corporate sales. In 2019, he left his W2 job with a modest portfolio, savings runway, and a desire to build something meaningful. A pivotal moment came when he outsourced property management and focused on acquisitions, unlocking rapid growth. The Rise of Invest Wise Collective In 2023, Paul and partners launched a fund to pool capital and invest across asset classes. The fund focuses on both GP and LP positions, enabling flexible capital deployment based on risk-reward profiles. Their early strategy emphasized debt positions for income and capital preservation, later pivoting to multifamily as opportunities emerged. Lessons for New Passive Investors Focus on the sponsor first, then the deal—good operators can rescue average deals; bad ones can ruin great ones. Underwriting inputs matter more than IRR projections—don't get seduced by high returns without understanding the assumptions. Diversify across operators, asset types, and loan maturities to mitigate risks like market timing or interest rate exposure. Don't let FOMO drive decisions—there will always be more deals. Be intentional, not reactive. The Power of Community: Passive Pockets Paul is co-host of Passive Pockets, formerly Left Field Investors, now owned by BiggerPockets. The platform provides deal reviews, sponsor evaluations, educational content, and LP peer collaboration. It helps investors go from 100-level beginners to 500-level LPs through shared experience and due diligence transparency.

Marco Sammon joins Ben and Dan to unpack his latest paper, ‘Index Rebalancing and Stock Market Composition', beginning with how Marco's work (co-written by John Shim) compares to the Nobel Prize-winner Bill Sharpe's paper, ‘Arithmetic of Active Management.' We investigate the missing links in Sharpe's logic before defining “the market” and ascertaining the main objectives of index funds. Then, we dive deeper into the mechanics of Marco's paper, index and market tracking errors, why delayed rebalancing is more beneficial than instant rebalancing, and the role of technology in the modern tracking error obsession. We also assess the passive-active spectrum of index funds in portfolio management and learn how investors should choose their optimal excess return. To end, Marco shares practical applications for improving performance benchmarked against traditional indexes, and The Aftershow is all about bridging the gap between PWL Capital and you, our listeners.
