Private equity is knocking on law firm doors but this conversation asks whether the legal industry is truly ready for the discipline control and long-term tradeoffs that outside capital demands.   Drawing on his background as a private equity executive with deep experience in investment banking and law firm operations, Adil Taha offers a clear-eyed look at what actually happens inside UK PE law firms. He questions whether private equity has delivered lasting value in legal or simply accelerated partner payouts and explains why many benefits remain theoretical until exit. Chris and Howard press on where PE can genuinely help and where it creates risk, from pricing discipline and data-driven decision making to cultural friction inside partnerships. Why do so many deals collapse late in the process? What changes when long-term enterprise building collides with short-term partner incentives?   The conversation also looks ahead. Adil explores whether building a PE-backed firm from scratch could outperform acquiring legacy firms and why minority investments may make more sense for larger practices that want capital without surrendering control. The result is a grounded look at power incentives and the future of UK PE law firms and a candid reminder that private equity is never neutral capital.   Episode Breakdown: 00:00 Private Equity and the Law Firm Landscape 06:31 Does Private Equity Actually Create Value in Law Firms? 22:19 The Hidden Risks of PE Ownership in Legal Businesses 30:09 The Future of Law Firms and Private Equity 40:30 Independent Law Firms vs Private Equity Pressure 52:20 What Managing Partners Need to Know Before Taking Capital Connect with Adil Taha: Connect with Adil on LinkedIn Taha & Watmough Website   Connect with Howard Rosenberg: Connect with Howard on LinkedIn Howard's Company Web Profile   Connect with Chris Batz: Connect with Chris on LinkedIn  Follow Columbus Street on LinkedIn Columbus Street Website  Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm

Referrals are no longer enough to secure patient volume, and healthcare marketers who ignore local trust signals are losing patients before the first appointment is ever booked. In this episode, Ashley Petrochenko, Cardinal's VP of Brand Marketing talks with Ashley Pollard, Practice Marketing Manager at United Digestive, a multi location, PE backed gastroenterology platform. With more than a decade inside a referral heavy specialty, Ashley shares how patient behavior has shifted and what growth focused teams must do to stay visible, credible, and chosen. This conversation makes it clear that modern patient acquisition is as much about reputation and access as it is about media. You will learn • Why referred patients still shop and how to win their trust locally • How to balance centralized marketing with hyperlocal credibility • Where AI driven search and reviews now influence patient choice • Which metrics actually connect marketing to kept appointments If you want your patient acquisition strategy to drive real visits and not just clicks, this is the episode to queue up next.

De ce îi este imposibil Curții Constituționale să accepte – decât cu riscul de a se umple de ridicol – cererea Liei Savonea de a sesiza Curtea de Justiție a UE (G4Media) - Noua ordine din AUR. Ce ascunde, de fapt, promovarea tandemului Dungaciu-Peiu: „Creează impresia de specializare” (Adevărul) - Cenaclul Flacăra: delir, dans, aplauze. Patrioți și suverani: „Ne vânează Liiceanu, Nicușor și Bolojan!” REPORTAJ (Libertatea) - Eutanasia ca afacere: zeci de mii de câini uciși pe milioane de euro, bani publici, sub ochii autorităților (Snoop) Ce speră președintele Nicușor Dan să obțină prin participarea la Consiliul Păcii condus de Donald Trump (PressOne) Președintele Nicușor Dan a anunțat participarea României în calitate de „observator” la prima reuniune a Consiliul Păcii organizată la Washington, pe 19 februarie, la care vor mai participa țări precum Ungaria, Kosovo și Belarus.  Există câteva probleme referitoare la decizia președintelui Dan, explică Marius Ghincea, specialist în relații internaționale și securitate.  Prima este că statutul de observator nu există. A doua problemă este legată de motivația oficială pentru care se duce: „pentru a reafirma sprijinul nostru ferm pentru eforturile internaționale de pace și deschiderea de a participa la procesul de reconstrucție din Fâșia Gaza” – asta în contextul în care, din carta care va sta la baza organizației conduse de Donald Trump, lipsește orice mențiune despre Fâșia Gaza.  Așadar, de ce merge Nicușor Dan la o întâlnire pe care unele dintre cele mai puternice state europene, precum Franța, au refuzat-o deja? Și ce înseamnă asta pentru România? Nicușor Dan vrea ca România să revină în grațiile Statelor Unite ale Americii, așa că îi onorează invitația lui Donald Trump într-o organizație internațională care „ridică semne de întrebare legate de viitorul ordinii internaționale”, spune Marius Ghincea pentru PressOne. Printre lucrurile pe care speră șeful statului să le obțină în urma întâlnirii din Washington se numără „o repornire a procesului Visa Waiver, promisiuni legate de menținerea forțelor americane din România și pentru ca administrația americană să uite sau să ignore toată povestea legată de anularea alegerilor din 2024”, adaugă expertul.  De ce se duce Nicușor Dan la Consiliul lui Trump? O decizie în interesul României, chiar dacă e percepută ca o eroare politică (SpotMedia) Din păcate, țara noastră e prea slabă și polarizată pentru ca liderii ei să poată refuza o invitație, de orice gen, venită din partea președintelui american.  SUA înseamnă mult mai mult decât mandatul controversat al lui Donald Trump, iar ușile diplomației nu trebuie închise niciodată. Puteți citi pe pagina SpotMedia articolul de opinie semnat de jurnalistul Emilian Isăilă. De ce îi este imposibil Curții Constituționale să accepte – decât cu riscul de a se umple de ridicol – cererea Liei Savonea de a sesiza Curtea de Justiție a UE (G4Media) Lia Savonea a depus cererea de sesizare a Curții de Justiție a Uniunii Europene cu o întrebare preliminară privind compatibilitatea cu dreptul UE a legii de ajustare a pensiilor magistraților. Documentul are 35 de pagini. G4Media a examinat cererea cu asistența unor experți în drept european. Legea pensiilor se află în control de constituționalitate înainte de promulgare, nu este în vigoare, nu produce efecte. Ea mai poate suferi modificări chiar dacă este aprobată de CCR, prin eventualele cereri de reexaminare formulate de președinte. A cere Curții de Justiție a UE să se pronunțe asupra ei ar echivala cu transformarea instanței de la Luxembourg în consultant juridic – ceea ce CJUE nu a acceptat niciodată. Toată jurisprudența pe care și-a construit cazul Lia Savonea – cu spețe din Spania, Portugația, Ungaria, Italia, Polonia și multe altele – se referă exclusiv la cazuri în care au fost reclamate la CJUE legi deja adoptate, nu legi viitoare. Experții în dreptul UE au fost clari: „Niciodată în istoria sa Curtea de Justiție a UE nu a acceptat întrebări preliminare privind legi care nu erau adoptate. Le-a respins pe toate ca fiind cazuri ipotetice”. Noua ordine din AUR. Ce ascunde, de fapt, promovarea tandemului Dungaciu-Peiu: „Creează impresia de specializare” (Adevărul) Dan Dungaciu și Petrișor Peiu au devenit principalii purtători de mesaj ai AUR după marginalizarea fondatorilor partidului, însă profilul lor conturează, în opinia politologului Cristian Pîrvulescu, o agendă revizionistă periculoasă. Într-o analiză pentru „Adevărul”, Pîrvulescu explică dedesubturile ascensiunii celor doi și mizele strategiei puse la cale de George Simion. Miza este aceea de a combate eticheta de partid lipsit de expertiză. Totuși, Pîrvulescu demontează mitul tehnocratului atașat noilor veniți. „Reproșul adus AUR este că nu are specialiști. Prin urmare, încearcă să creeze această impresie. Numai că, în realitate, cei doi nu sunt specialiști. Dungaciu este cunoscut de multă vreme ca militant de extremă dreaptă, provenit din zona universitară. Peiu a fost promovat ca specialist în economie, posibil prim-ministru, tehnocratul partidului. În realitate, nu are competențe speciale în acest domeniu, dar a fost recuperat și este util din acest punct de vedere”, punctează profesorul. Discursul lor, deși pare mai elitist, nu intră în conflict cu electoratul tradițional al AUR deoarece rolul lor nu este de a mobiliza masele, ci de a oferi o aparență de seriozitate. Analiza profesorului Pîrvulescu evidențiază traseul sinuos al construcției politice AUR. Partidul a pornit de la nucleul dur al galeriilor de fotbal, a absorbit rețelele religioase neoprotestante din Coaliția pentru Familie, pentru ca ulterior să capitalizeze frustrările pandemice. Cenaclul Flacăra: delir, dans, aplauze. Patrioți și suverani: „Ne vânează Liiceanu, Nicușor și Bolojan!” REPORTAJ (Libertatea) Cinci ore de Cenaclu Flacăra. Duminică seara, începând cu ora 6.00 până la 11 și ceva în noapte. Pe ecranul Sălii Palatului defilează imagini uriașe cu Adrian Păunescu. Sub acest uriaș, copleșit de umbra lui, pe scenă stă fiul lui, Andrei. Fără har, fără talent, fără spontaneitate. Are chitară. Și mai ales invocă nume și momente sacre ale Cenaclului Flacăra, din anii 1970 și 1980, apoi, din anii 2000. Andrei repetă „Tatăl nostru” când vorbește de Adrian. Și-și prezintă tatăl ca pe un disident.  Mircea Vintilă, Nicu Alifantis, Mircea Baniciu, Lipan Țăndărică, Gheorghe Gheorghiu au venit în trecere. Au zis o vorbă-două, au intonat imnuri și au plecat. Afișul Cenaclului avea înscrise numele lor mari și tari. Au cântat vreo jumătate de oră cu toții. Ore-n șir? Rudele lui Andrei. Aici e prezent. Nu e trecut. Sunt și spirite care vor să trăiască ce-au trăit odată. Nostalgie după „cultura națională” care se făcea odată. Nostalgie după „spectacolele de calitate, în care ne simțeam oameni în Dictatură, astăzi suntem câini”.  Reportajul integral în Libertatea. Eutanasia ca afacere: zeci de mii de câini uciși pe milioane de euro, bani publici, sub ochii autorităților (Snoop) Peste 64.000 de câini au fost eutanasiați în România în ultimii trei ani, iar jumătate dintre ei au ajuns în patru adăposturi ale unor veterinari care au transformat procedura într-o afacere. Cel puțin 9 milioane de euro din bani publici însumează contractele câștigate de firme și asociații implicate în prinderea și eutanasierea câinilor fără stăpân, inclusiv a celor sănătoși. Prin legea actuală se încurajează eutanasia câinilor la nivel național, susține societatea civilă. Snoop documentează de câteva luni eutanasia și maltratarea câinilor din adăposturile din țară.

Emisiunea Moldova Zoom, pe care o realizăm de jumătate de an la RFI România, a câștigat aseară premiul „Excelența în jurnalism”, categoria radio, oferit de Uniunea Ziariștilor Profesioniști din România (UZPR). Moldova Zoom este singura emisiune cotidiană din presa din România dedicată actualității din Republica Moldova. „Un proiect nou pentru spațiul informațional din România și o abordare foarte echilibrată din punctul de vedere al selectării și prezentării subiectelor”, așa a explicat opțiunea juriului pentru Moldova Zoom Dan Constantin, președintele UZPR. „RFI România va menține și pe viitor angajamentul pentru acest proiect de importanță publică în cadrul căruia construim poduri informaționale și un spațiu românesc unic”, declară redactorul-șef Ovidiu Nahoi. Temele ediției: - Republica Moldova ar putea trece din nou printr-un val de scumpiri a energiei. Asta după solicitarea operatorilor de energie. Bombardamentele din Ucraina se văd și în facturile cetățenilor moldoveni. De ce? Ne explică jurnalistul Vitalie Cojocari în ”Cronica lui Vitalie”. - Europa pleacă de la München fără ruptura transatlantică temută, dar și fără un răspuns clar la întrebarea-cheie: cum și când se termină războiul din Ucraina? La patru ani de la începutul războiului, există premise reale pentru o pace durabilă sau doar pentru o pauză fragilă? Liliana Barbăroșie a discutat subiectul cu Dumitru Mînzărari, expert în securitate și lector la Baltic Defence College. - La Chișinău are loc astăzi reuniunea Biroului Congresului Autorităților Locale și Regionale al Consiliului Europei. - Autoritățile din ministere și alte instituții moldovene vor efectua vizite în Statele Unite, după negocierile dintre președinta Maia Sandu și secretarul de stat al SUA, Marco Rubio, de la Munchen. - O nouă rundă de negocieri pentru pacea în Ucraina începe astăzi la Geneva între reprezentanții Rusiei, SUA și Ucrainei. - La Chișinău are loc, în premieră, extinderea celui mai amplu proiect dedicat sculpturii românești contemporane, „Luna Sculptorilor Români”. - Marți și miercuri în Republica Moldova sunt valabile un Cod Portocaliu și un Cod Galben de precipitații puternice și intensificări ale vântului. Știrile zilei: La Chișinău are loc marți reuniunea Biroului Congresului Autorităților Locale și Regionale al Consiliului Europei (CALRE). În cadrul reuniunii va fi efectuat un schimb de opinii privind reforma administrației publice locale, inițiată în Republica Moldova, anunță Guvernul de la Chișinău. Republica Moldova deține în această perioadă președinția prin rotație a Consiliului Europei. *** Autoritățile din ministere și unele instituții din Republica Moldova vor efectua o serie vizite în Statele Unite ale Americii, după negocierile dintre președinta Maia Sandu și secretarul de stat al SUA, Marco Rubio, de la Munchen. Inițiativa acestei întâlniri a venit din partea americană, a declarat ambasadorul Moldovei în SUA, Vladislav Kulminski, în cadrul unei emisiuni la TV8. „Întâlnirea este importantă și pentru că SUA continuă să joace un rol-cheie pentru Moldova în ceea ce privește asigurarea securității. Datorită acestei întâlniri, multe inițiative vor putea fi accelerate”.  Potrivit diplomatului, negocierile dintre Maia Sandu și Marco Rubio au fost pregătite din timp de serviciile diplomatice ale ambelor țări. Mai mult, inițiativa a venit din partea americană, ceea ce a reprezentat un semnal clar că Moldova continuă să se afle în atenția Washingtonului.  Diplomatul a subliniat că vizitele vor fi la nivel de ministere și instituții din domeniul energetic și economic și că negocierile sunt de o importanță majoră și „vor ajuta la deschiderea unui nou capitol” în relațiile bilaterale. *** O nouă rundă de negocieri pentru pacea în Ucraina începe astăzi la Geneva între reprezentanții Rusiei, SUA și Ucrainei. Negocierile vor fi unele dificile. Este puțin probabil ca războiul să se încheie prea curând, pentru că Putin va face totul pentru a-l prelungi, a declarat la RFI analistul politic Nicolae Țibrigan, cercetător la Academia Română. *** La Chișinău are loc, în premieră, extinderea celui mai amplu proiect dedicat sculpturii românești contemporane, „Luna Sculptorilor Români”, ajuns la cea de-a VI-a ediție. Evenimentul marchează sărbătorirea a 150 de ani de la nașterea lui Constantin Brâncuși și integrează capitala Republicii Moldova în circuitul internațional al acestui demers cultural, consolidând dialogul artistic dintre România și Republica Moldova. Expoziția este realizată în parteneriat cu Uniunea Artiștilor Plastici din Republica Moldova, în cadrul proiectului inițiat de Ateneul Național din Iași, cu sprijinul Primăriei Municipiului Iași, și desfășurat sub patronajul Comisiei Naționale a României pentru UNESCO, și include artiști plastici din ambele țări, notează TVR Moldova. *** În această dimineață, circulația pe drumurile publice din Republica Moldova se desfășoară în condiții de iarnă. Astăzi și mâine este valabil un Cod Portocaliu și Cod Galben de precipitații puternice și intensificări ale vântului. Potrivit meteorologilor, în zonele aflate de codul portocaliu se așteaptă ninsori și lapoviță abundentă, cu cantități între 20 și 35 de litri pe metru pătrat. Vântul va sufla cu rafale de până la 15-20 metri pe secundă. Va viscoli, se vor forma troiene, iar vizibilitatea va fi redusă. Pe drumuri este posibil să se formeze ghețuș, iar izolat se pot produce depuneri de lapoviță și polei. Agenția națională a drumurilor îndemnă șoferii să manifeste prudență sporită. În următoarele zile, temperaturile ar putea coborî până la -10 grade noaptea.

17/02/2026 - Verbum, a Palavra de DeusMeditação da Palavra do Senhor com o Pe. Matthew Didi, SVD

devocional Efésios Filhos, em nome da vossa fé no Senhor, obedeçam aos vossos pais, pois assim é que deve ser. O primeiro dos mandamentos acompanhado de uma promessa é: Honra o teu pai e a tua mãe. E a promessa é esta: Assim serás feliz e gozarás de uma longa vida sobre a terra. Pais, não irritem os vossos filhos. Mas eduquem-nos com disciplina e equilíbrio, em nome do Senhor. Efésios 6.1-4 Uma das incontáveis virtudes que o evangelho propõe é a excelência nos relacionamentos. Um dos destaques vai para a desejável elevação no trato entre pais e filhos. Uns e outros desafiados a promover a arte do respeito mútuo. A descendência pugnando pela obediência aos progenitores, de molde a fazer jus às directivas do Senhor. Sim, mais do que um desejo, Deus ordena que pai e mãe sejam honrados pela sua prole, seja por palavras ou actos. O amor quer-se dito e visto. Para lá de propagandeado, demonstrado. Espelhado na gentileza dos gestos. Transbordando gratidão por aqueles que foram canal de vida. Respeitando a beleza das suas cãs. Absorvendo conselhos. Interiorizando o alcance da promessa de Deus: “Para que te vá bem, e vivas muito tempo sobre a terra.” Abençoados pais que Deus me deu, pois sempre primaram por me educar segundo o pulsar do Seu coração. Peço a Deus igual porção de sabedoria para continuar a ensinar os meus filhos na “doutrina e admoestação do Senhor.” Também eu desejo perpassar às gerações futuras o encanto da firmeza fundada no amor. - Jónatas Figueiredo Oramos para que este tempo com Deus te encoraje e inspire. Dá a ti próprio espaço para processar as tuas notas e a tua oração e sai apenas quando te sentires preparado.

Królestwo Tonga – monarchia na PacyfikuKrólestwo Tonga leży w Polinezji, na południowym Pacyfiku – na wschód od Fidżi i na południe od Samoa. To archipelag 170 wysp, z czego około 36 jest zamieszkanych. Liczba mieszkańców wynosi około 110 tysięcy, a dominującą religią jest chrześcijaństwo – przede wszystkim metodyzm.Od 1900 roku Tonga pozostawała brytyjskim protektoratem, zachowując jednak własnego monarchę i autonomię w sprawach wewnętrznych. Pełną kontrolę nad polityką zagraniczną odzyskała 4 czerwca 1970 roku.Obecnym monarchą jest Tupou VI – wnuk legendarnej władczyni, Salote Tupou III.Królowa, która podbiła LondynSalote Tupou III panowała w latach 1918–1965 – łącznie 47 lat, najdłużej w historii Tonga. Podczas koronacji Elżbieta II w 1953 roku przeszła do historii.Gdy podczas londyńskiej procesji zaczął padać deszcz, inni monarchowie zaciągnęli daszki swoich powozów. Ona odmówiła. Zgodnie z tongijskim zwyczajem nie należy naśladować osoby, którą się w danej chwili honoruje. Jechała więc w ulewie w otwartym powozie, zdobywając sympatię Brytyjczyków.To właśnie za jej panowania Tonga wypowiedziała wojnę Niemcom i Japonii, oddając swoje zasoby do dyspozycji Wielkiej Brytanii i wspierając aliantów.Spitfire'y dla PolskiJednym z najbardziej niezwykłych gestów solidarności była zbiórka społeczna mieszkańców Tonga na zakup myśliwców Supermarine Spitfire.W 1939 roku, po niemieckiej inwazji na Polskę, Tonga jako jedno z pierwszych państw wypowiedziało wojnę Niemcom. W ramach publicznej kampanii sfinansowano dwa, a według niektórych źródeł – trzy samoloty Spitfire.Maszyny, w tym „Queen Salote”, miały trafić do dywizjonów walczących w Wielkiej Brytanii – wśród nich wymienia się m.in. 315. i 317. Dywizjon Myśliwski oraz 602. Dywizjon RAF, w którym latał as Brendan „Paddy” Finucane.Losy tych samolotów do dziś pozostają nie do końca jasne – wiadomo jednak, że zostały ufundowane przez mieszkańców małego państwa na Pacyfiku jako wyraz solidarności z Polską.Laka-laka i humbakiNarodowym tańcem Tonga jest laka-laka – połączenie choreografii, śpiewanych oracji i polifonii wokalno-instrumentalnej. Tradycja ta została wpisana na listę niematerialnego dziedzictwa ludzkości UNESCO. Występy mogą trwać nawet 30 minut i angażować setki wykonawców.Na wyspie Vavaʻu można natomiast pływać z humbakami – dorosłe osobniki osiągają 14–17 metrów długości i ważą do 45 ton. To jedno z najlepszych miejsc na świecie do obserwacji tych ssaków.

Corpul de Control al Ministerului Mediului a stabilit că drumul din Pădurea Băneasa a fost construit ilegal. Ce înseamnă asta, ce ar trebui să urmeze și cât a contat presiunea pusă de organizațiile de mediu? Invitat la emisiunea Planeta Verde este președintele Eco-Civica, Dan Trifu. Ce a descoperit de fapt Corpul de Control al Ministerului Mediului în privința drumului din Pădurea Băneasa? Dan Trifu: ”Corpul de Control a descoperit că acel drum forestier în realitate numai jumătare din el a fost cândva drum forestier, iar jumătate din el era de fapt linie parcelară, adică această categorie, pădure. Normal că linia parcelară este invadată de vegetație și atunci Direcția Silvică, în speță, sub oblăduirea Romsilva, s-au apucat să defrișeze acea parte care era categoria pădure, să construiască un drum nou, fără acte, fără nimic, în prelungirea celui existent de 700 de metri. Deci un total de un kilometru și jumătate, din care 720 de metri nu erau amenajați ca drum forestier și nici nu era prevăzut în vechile amenajamente silvice”. Romsilva susține că drumul din Pădurea Băneasa nu este ilegal și nu a fost construit recent, ci există de 50 de ani, potrivit Pro TV. Pe de altă parte, Dan Trifu vorbește la RFI despre faptul că Eco-Civica a depus o cerere de intervenție în instanță, pentru anularea a două dispoziții de retrocedare a Parcului IOR. Ce înseamnă asta? Între timp, pe suprafața retrocedată în Parcul IOR, proprietarul a tăiat cam tot ce se putea tăia. Ce mai poate fi salvat acolo? Cum de nici o instituție nu a fost capabilă să oprească tăierile din Parcul IOR?

Ever stalled on a “dream build” because you're afraid to mess it up? We went straight at those fear targets—perfectionism, PE jitters, bare‑metal dread, and the myth that pros are “just fast”—and came back with practical fixes that make the bench fun again. Kicked off by a wave of listener mail, we connect the dots between honest expectations and real skill barriers, then show how to shrink both: build your favorite subject twice (one OOB as recon, one for the opus), keep something always in paint to protect your airbrush touch, and use smart crutches—canopy masks, 3D prints, and layered decals—so your craft effort lands where it matters.Community kept shaping the journey. From clubs that outlive geography to vendor‑table conversations that compress months of trial and error, we heard how connection turns paralysis into progress. One modeler finally tackled a family B‑17 after years of hesitation and discovered the power of “a hundred little builds,” learning new techniques while honoring a story that mattered. Another shifted from failed journals to a public build log that doubles as a searchable memory. Along the way we swapped tips for taming CA, tested custom decals (plus an opacity workaround), and compared wet vs. dry color shifts on new AK Real Colors. Yes, we even found a French marine catapult and may have paid for it twice—worth it.Bench reports? The Hellcat is decaled and heading into gloss, the long‑parked T‑33 is back on the rails, and Moosaroo is heating up with a vignette twist and custom markings from a boutique printer. If you've been avoiding your favorite subject, this is your permission slip to jump: make a plan that fits your time, turn one big build into guided sprints, and let technology erase the chores that steal your mojo. Hit play, then tell us: what's the one fear you're finally tackling this month? If this resonated, subscribe, share with a modeling friend, and leave a quick review so more builders find the show.Model Paint SolutionsYour source for Harder & Steenbeck Airbrushes and David Union Power ToolsSQUADRON Adding to the stash since 1968Model PodcastsPlease check out the other pods in the modelsphere!Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

Ralph welcomes, Robert Weissman co-president of Public Citizen, to discuss his Senate testimony about the many ways the Trump Administration's assault on fraud is itself fraudulent. Plus, Ralph informs us of a report from Aljazeera about the MK-84 weapon the IDF is using in Gaza that is designed to generate so much heat it literally vaporizes people.Robert Weissman is a staunch public interest advocate and activist, as well as an expert on a wide variety of issues ranging from corporate accountability and government transparency, to trade and globalization, to economic and regulatory policy. As the president of Public Citizen, he has spearheaded the effort to loosen the chokehold corporations and the wealthy have over our democracy.Every American should be worried about fraud. So it's fine for the committee to be talking about fraud, but it should be based on actual facts and what's actually happening, which is not what's going on with this focus on Minnesota… And without a doubt, if the concern is about fraud in the public or the private economy right now, the number one problem with fraud is the Trump administration.Robert WeissmanThanks to the Supreme Court decision on Presidential immunity, Trump believes (correctly) that he will not be held criminally accountable for anything that he does while he's President. And that is true so long as that Supreme Court decision stands. And I think it's fair to say that basically everyone who's working for him right now—who I think are committing all kinds of crimes, including through the sale of pardons and through the outrageous use of ICE in Minnesota and around the country—I think they expect they're going to get pardoned before he goes. So I think they think they too will be (and they're probably not wrong in expecting it) that they too will be immune from criminal prosecution (at least federal criminal prosecution) for any crimes they commit while they're in the administration.Robert WeissmanIn Case You Haven't Heard with Francesco DeSantisNews 2/13/26* Our top stories this week concern the Jeffrey Epstein case. According to POLITICO, Democratic Congressman Ro Khanna, who, along with Republican Congressman Thomas Massie has led the charge to release the Epstein files, “took to the House floor Tuesday and read aloud the names of six ‘wealthy, powerful men' whose names were originally redacted,” in the files. These names include billionaire Victoria's Secret owner Leslie Wexner, Emirati shipping magnate Sultan Ahmed Bin Sulayem, and Italian politician Nicola Caputo, among other more mysterious figures like Salvatore Nuara and Leonic Leonov. Khanna used congressional representatives' unique power under the speech and debate clause to make these names public, after combing through the files personally along with Rep. Massie. Khanna added “if we found six men that they were hiding in two hours, imagine how many men they are covering up for in those 3 million files.”* Speaking of hiding names in the files, Axios reports that Representative Jamie Raskin stated that “when he searched President Trump's name in the unredacted Epstein files… it came up ‘more than a million times.'” The implication of this statement is clear: Trump's cronies in the Justice Department are covering up the extent of Trump's relationship and involvement with Jeffrey Epstein. Another member of the administration, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, admitted under Senate questioning that he had lunch with Epstein on his island, along with his family, claiming he “could not recall” why they did. The administration is allowing members of Congress to view the unredacted files within certain hours via a database they describe as confusing, unreliable, and clunky.* Another surprising revelation from the files is that House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries apparently solicited campaign donations from Epstein back in 2013. According to MSN, Epstein received a campaign solicitation via email from a fundraising firm touting Jeffries as “one of the rising stars in the New York Congressional delegation,” and offering Epstein “an opportunity to get to know Hakeem better.” Jeffries denies having any knowledge of this firm's outreach to Epstein and decried House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer's implication that he had any relationship with the late sexual predator and financier, calling Comer a “stone cold liar” and a “malignant clown.”* In non-Epstein related news from Capitol Hill, last week lawmakers held a hearing to probe the operations of autonomous taxi service Waymo. While Republicans chose to focus on Waymo's supposed ties to Chinese companies, Senator Ed Markey of Massachusetts grilled the chief safety officer, Mauricio Peña, on the company's reliance on workers abroad for key safety decisions. Peña admitted that while some operators are located in the US, others – who step in when robotaxis encounter “unusual situations” – work remotely from the Philippines. Markey called this “completely unacceptable,” emphasizing that these workers may need to react “in a split second” during dangerous scenarios. Waymo is just the latest company marketing its services as high tech and autonomous, but later revealed to be reliant on cheap foreign labor. This from Business Insider.* ICE lawlessness continues to roil Congress. Many Democrats are now sounding the alarm that Trump's immigration police – masked, armed, accountable directly to him and backed to the hilt by the administration – could be used as a tool to suppress voter turnout by conducting raids at or near polling locations, thereby scaring citizens into staying home. Senator Chris Murphy of Connecticut said “Trump is trying to create a pretext to rig the election.” Murphy, along with some Senate Democratic allies, pushed leadership to demand that ICE be banned from polling sites as a condition of government shutdown negotiations, but leadership balked, per POLITICO. While such a scenario can sound far-fetched, Trump has “falsely and repeatedly claimed for more than a decade that millions of illegal immigrants vote in the U.S., arguing that was one factor in his 2020 loss,” and, just before the 2020 election, he pledged to send “sheriffs” and “law enforcement” to polling places.* Drop Site News' Jacqueline Sweet reports 70 organizations, Jewish, Christian, Muslim, Hindu, and Unitarian, as well as civil rights, academic, legal, peace, and human rights groups, submitted a formal request to the National Security Division of the Justice Department seeking a “Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) investigation into Canary Mission.” Canary Mission is a shadowy, infamous group that tracks pro-Palestine activity on college campuses. In 2018, they appeared at the George Washington University wearing spooky masks in an attempt to intimidate the student government into voting down a BDS resolution. They failed. This latest letter comes on the heels of a Drop Site story from January that “showed among other things that Canary is operated in Israel by a large Israeli team.” As the letter notes, the Foreign Agent Registration Act “exists precisely to address this type of potential activity carried out in the United States for the benefit of a foreign country.”* In more news regarding pro-Palestine activism, last week, six defendants linked to Palestine Action, a direct action protest group in the United Kingdom, were acquitted of aggravated burglary in connection with an alleged break in at Elbit Systems, a defense firm with close ties to the Israeli military, in August 2024. The persecution of Palestine Action has gone far beyond normal law enforcement. Some activists have been in pre-trial detention for over 500 days, more than double the maximum limit set by the Crown Prosecution Service. The case of the Palestine Action protestors has drawn outcry from international human rights groups, including the United Nations and Human Rights Watch. As HRW notes, in July of last year, the British government declared Palestine Action a terrorist organization and have now detained over 2,700 protestors over infractions as minor as holding a sign reading “I oppose genocide, I support Palestine Action.” As of now, over 20 activists are still in detention awaiting trial, many beyond the legal limits, and the six acquitted activists may face retrial. But for now, the group has scored a major victory in the face of overwhelming odds.* Turning back to domestic news, New York Governor Kathy Hochul appears to have pulled off a fait accompli in her reelection campaign. Last year, former Representative Elise Stefanik dropped her bid for the Republican gubernatorial nomination and sitting Rep. Mike Lawler declined to run. Now, Hochul's main primary opponent – Lieutenant Governor Antonio Delgado – has dropped his bid after Hochul secured the endorsements of New York City Mayor and political superstar Zohran Mamdani as well as the entirety of the New York Democratic congressional delegation. This from the New York Times. This is a stunning political feat for a Governor who won the narrowest gubernatorial election in the state since 1994 when she was last up in 2022. It now seems that Hochul will square off against Bruce Blakeman, the Trump-endorsed Republican executive of Nassau County in November.* Meanwhile in Los Angeles, the dynamic of the Mayoral race was upended this week by the last-minute decision of Councilmember Nithya Raman to throw her hat into the ring against incumbent Mayor Karen Bass. Raman, an urban planner by trade, chairs the Council's Housing and Homelessness Committee and has “built her political identity around tenant protections, homelessness policy and efforts to accelerate housing production,” per the Los Angeles Daily News. Raman was the first of several Councilmembers elected with DSA support and she has maintained a strong relationship with the local branch despite tensions with the national organization, primarily over Israel/Palestine issues. Bass, who won a narrow election against billionaire developer Rick Caruso in 2022, has faced harsh criticism over her handling of the devastating fires in 2025 and her inability to make significant progress on the city's homelessness crisis. However, Bass maintains the support of much of the city's Democratic establishment, including the unions and much of the City Council and Raman's late entry will make it difficult for her to consolidate majority support across the sprawling western metropolis.* Finally, in a David-and-Goliath tale, we turn to TJ Sabula, the UAW Local 600 Ford factory line worker who called Trump a “pedophile protector.” Infamously, the president retorted by giving Sabula the finger and mouthing, “F--- you.” Ironically, Trump also trotted out his iconic catchphrase “You're fired.” Well, Sabula was not fired – and in fact “has no discipline on his record,” – because he was protected by his union, per the Detroit News. In a recent address, UAW Vice President Laura Dickerson said “TJ, we got your back,” adding “In that moment, we saw what the president really thinks about working people…As UAW members, we speak truth to power. We don't just protect rights, we exercise them.” UAW President Shawn Fain, who has emerged as a firebrand leader of the revitalized labor movement, commented “That's a union brother who spoke up…He put his constitutional rights to work. He put his union rights to work.”This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard. Get full access to Ralph Nader Radio Hour at www.ralphnaderradiohour.com/subscribe

For over a decade and a half, we've brought innovative strategies and optimization to the property management industry. At DoorGrow, we are on a mission to transform property management business owners and their businesses. We want to transform the industry.   eliminate the BS, build awareness, change perception, expand the market, and help the best property management entrepreneurs win. Now, let's get into the show. All right, so my guest today is Ashton Thomas. Welcome, Ashton. Ashton (00:43) Thank you for having me. Jason Hull (00:45) So Ashton is a client of ours, but she also is a badass. And so Ashen, I would love for people to get to know you a little bit, share a little bit of your background. How did you get into real estate and property management and all of this?   Ashton (01:02) Yeah, absolutely. So I'm actually a third generation real estate broker in central Florida. My granddad started in Orlando like way back in the 60s. ⁓ Both my dad and my granddad, a lot of my uncles, they're all builders. So just kind of grew up in that real estate world. I was on a job site from when I was very little. ⁓ And so I always just had a love for homes, real estate, just   the whole nine years. When I was wrapping up high school about to go to college, my parents suggested, I always had like an entrepreneurial spirit, and my parents suggested that I get my real estate license. And I was like, you know what, it can't hurt to have that. So I went ahead and took the class, got the licensing as soon as I graduated high school. So I was actually a licensed realtor already working before I started my freshman year of   college. ⁓ Real estate has been so fascinating because I've been able to see so many changes over the last 12 years since I got into the industry. I started with new home sales construction, actually working for my parents, ⁓ really learned about what it took to run a sales center. And then I switched to traditional real estate, like what you think of a realtor doing now. ⁓ From there, I ended up opening my own brokerage.   Jason Hull (02:03) Wow.   Ashton (02:28) ⁓ in February of 2019. And then property management really just fell into my lap. There was a company that was going out of business because the owner was embezzling funds. And their employees actually came to me and said, you know, we would like to work with you. We'd like to work for you. And we're bringing these clients. So   I had never written a lease, seen, really even put my eyes or hands on a lease, never. This was two years ago, roughly. ⁓ And like just didn't have any property management experience at all. Figured out that we needed to get some systems in place right out of the gate. And I really took the next year, year and a half.   Jason Hull (02:59) how long ago.   Okay.   Ashton (03:22) to develop those. And Jason, you've been so instrumental in helping us succeed in those systems. You helped us identify the holes in our business and really figure out what we needed to do. ⁓ So at the time that I had brought on the property management side, and when I say property management for us, we do both long-term property management and short-term vacation rental. So I two separate sister companies that operate.   Jason Hull (03:51) Yeah.   Ashton (03:51) So ⁓ at the time I had roughly about 25 realtors that worked for me under the brokerage. I had really developed that, grown that. We were one of the largest Zillow Premier agent teams in central Florida at that time.   Jason Hull (04:13) Wait, can I ask you question about that?   Not very many agents start their own brokerage. What? mean, how, do you mind me asking age here? How old were you you started your brokerage and what gave you the audacity to decide to do this big thing?   Ashton (04:19) Mm-hmm.   I was 23 when I started my brokerage and the funny part was is I actually wanted to buy a brokerage first and I had this is a wild story you'll love this so you know you look back and you say what was I thinking like I had some guts and one of those stories   Jason Hull (04:33) Okay, go ahead.   Okay.   Okay.   Yeah   Ashton (04:55) So I had initially gone to this guy's office, he had four branches, local real estate agent, or a local real estate brokerage. I'd ⁓ developed his brokerage over like 50 years, had over 200 agents working for him. And I walk in and I asked to speak with the broker. He was there, they put me in the conference room. He thought that I wanted to become an agent working for him. Yeah. And I said, no, sir, I want to buy your company.   Jason Hull (05:19) That's the default.   my god.   Ashton (05:25) And   like, this was a total cold call. Like I had never talked with him before, never met him before. I ended up negotiating a price for the company ended up getting securing SBA financing. Everything had lined up so perfectly. And then a couple of weeks before we were actually going to be making it official. He decided that he wanted to, to sell his brokerage to a family member and not go through with me. And so.   Jason Hull (05:53) Wow.   Ashton (05:55) Honestly, in hindsight, that was the best thing that could have happened. I had no business running that large of a brokerage at 23 years old with no experience. ⁓ Over 200. Yeah. And I had secured a price for 2.4 million for the company. So with an earn out and it was just, it was going to be an insane deal if I could have like actually done that. But ⁓ I was   Jason Hull (06:05) How large was it? How many Asians? Okay, yeah, I mean massive, yeah.   Ashton (06:24) You know, everything happens for a reason. coming off of like the adrenaline rush from that not happening, I was like, you know what? I'm just going to start my own. Why not? So that's how I started when I was 23.   Jason Hull (06:26) Yeah.   Yeah.   I mean,   starting your own brokerage at 23 doesn't sound as crazy if you were already trying to buy 200 agent brokerage. Like, I'll just, you know, step it back a little bit.   Ashton (06:49) Mm-hmm.   Yes,   let's like crawl before we run. Oh, so that was originally what I wanted to do was just build up a massive, brokerage with lots of agents. And I thought that in my head was the dream. No, for me, it was not. I had grown to about 25 agents, like roughly like steadily and kept that number for a while. I realized that I   Jason Hull (06:56) Yeah. ⁓   Yeah.   Mm-hmm.   Ashton (07:21) to not like dealing with realtors and their issues over and over and over again, every day in and day out. It became like kind of toxic to me at least. And I went through and slashed a lot of agents jobs here ⁓ because it was either performance issues, attitude issues, whatever it was, they just were not the right fit for us. I ended up keeping a core five. ⁓   Jason Hull (07:32) Yeah.   Ashton (07:47) and they are phenomenal people with good ethics and good business sense who care about their clients and represent me and my company very, very well.   Jason Hull (07:58) What do feel like gave you the clarity to make that transition? Like, did you just wake up one morning or like, I don't like a lot of these people? Or how did you get clarity on what you really want?   Ashton (08:09) ⁓ One of the things was I told my office manager, I was so frustrated one morning, I told her, said, if one more person asks me another stupid question, I am gonna lose my mind. So I was fed up, I just couldn't deal with it anymore.   Jason Hull (08:23) Okay, we're just fed up.   Yeah, yeah. So I know when, when did that fit with you joining DoorGrow? Because I know you had worked on culture and we'd helped you figure out kind of what mattered to you and like, that align with, was that before you came on board? Was that after? When did you let go of all the... Okay. You don't move slow on anything, it sounds like.   Ashton (08:45) I don't want the same time. Yeah.   I try not to. I try not to. Honestly, I feel like that's where things go to die is if you move slow.   Jason Hull (08:57) Got it, yeah, right. Okay, cool, quick action taker. So obviously a very driven personality type. ⁓ And I know the topic that we were planning to talk about today is the marriage of private equity and property management, capital meets operations. So let's get into that. Again, you have big goals, big crazy goals.   Ashton (09:05) Thank you.   Yes.   Jason Hull (09:27) that sound pretty insane to most people. But you know, the people that are bold, that have the audacity to go after these big things, achieve big things. So what are you up to now?   Ashton (09:39) Yeah, so there's actually a great book by Dr. Benjamin Hardy. He has he's written like several and I know you're a big fan of Dr. Hardy's as well. He talks about like those impossible goals and how you really should and actually that one of his latest books, The Science of Scaling, is ⁓ really spurred me to action and not just having like a 10 year time frame, but like a three year time frame. And I can condense these goals.   what I want to do kind of vaguely into really specifics and get it done now. ⁓ So yeah, I would highly recommend anybody listening to also read his books.   Jason Hull (10:20) Yeah, agreed. Phenomenal book. I got to hear him speak down in Mexico and he hadn't released his book yet. And I was with a bunch of entrepreneurs that spent a lot of money to be there. And he all just walked out of the room with their mind blown. We were all just like, ⁓ I've been thinking too small. That's why it's been so hard. And it actually gets easier to grow and scale your business when you start thinking outside of your current mental limitations, which means it has to be something unrealistic or impossible.   Ashton (10:36) Mm-hmm.   Jason Hull (10:49) So that's been a game changer. I've done some episodes talking about this, but same thing for us. Like we've got some big things we're doing this year that are probably a bit ridiculous. And I don't know if we can pull it off, but if we do, DoorGrow will be the dominant player in the industry. And I already feel like we're a leader or leader, but this will be a game changer, some of the stuff that we have planned. And I've talked about it on previous episodes, just a little bit, what we're thinking of doing.   But I think it's going to be some of these things are going to be game changer. and we've got so many irons in the fire right now, like we move fast and it's bit crazy, but that's where the fun is too, right? In business. So I'd rather be lit on fire with too many ideas than be stuck. And I've been that way before where I'm like, what should I do next? know, I work on.   Ashton (11:35) That's like   entrepreneurs worst nightmare is to be feeling stuck and feeling like I'm not moving and I'm not getting traction and I'm not accomplishing anything. That is like absolute hell for us, isn't it?   Jason Hull (11:45) Yeah.   Yeah, I usually joke that entrepreneurs don't care about being happy or sad. They care about whether they're in momentum or whether they're stuck. And when we're stuck, damned, blocked, frustrated, that is hell. That's like, that's hell for us. We're miserable. And yeah, and it kills our motivation, everything. But when we're in momentum, that's the drug we crave. We want to feel like we're making progress and moving forward. And so   I'm that drug dealer. That's what I give out to clients. Like I'm like, let's go. That's hopium. So got to give them some hope. And then they're excited and believe they can do it. But yeah, if you believe you can do something big and you've got a big vision, a big dream, yeah, you start to find new pathways. You start to find new ideas. And so you're working on some crazy stuff. So let's talk about capital meets operations. How do we marry private equity with property management? And could other property managers do this?   Ashton (12:21) You do.   Jason Hull (12:47) excited to hear.   Ashton (12:47) Yeah,   absolutely. So I started in the private equity world really recently. It was like January of this year. And I feel like I've just been drinking out of a fire hose, like learning and being in, I've just made sure to put myself in the right rooms where I'm just like absorbing knowledge and information and wisdom from people and family offices that have been doing this so much longer than I.   Jason Hull (13:13) You've been really focused on learning the private equity space, which a lot of people, that's like some crazy thing they don't really maybe even understand. They're like, oh, don't know how it works. And you decided, hey, want get in on this.   Ashton (13:25) Yeah. ⁓ go   ahead. What was that?   Jason Hull (13:30) You said, I want to get in on this and learn about this and started figuring it out. All right, I'm going to plug our sponsor real quick, who you use, Vendoroo. How's it going with Vendoroo?   Ashton (13:33) Yes. ⁓   And here's amazing. We love them. They they honestly they take care of everything. They're really good about communication. I think they're they're phenomenal. They've been a game changer for us for our day to day ops.   Jason Hull (13:54) Okay, cool. I mean, it's So let me read this and then we'll get back into the show.

All right, cool. So let's talk about this private equity stuff. Help me understand what it is. I'm fairly ignorant, so.   Ashton (14:59) Hmm   So basically, I mean, it's a very big term, private equity, and it can span over so many different asset classes. And I think that's one of, I'm sidetracking a little just a minute, but like, I think that's one of my favorite parts about the private equity and PE industry is because you can meet somebody in your same asset class and they're doing something totally different. Like for instance, you know, what you're teaching Jason with the property management and like these operators and entrepreneurs who are   owner operators really, you're teaching us the same framework and we're doing the same exact thing, which there's nothing wrong with that. That's great. That works. It's systemized. In private equity, it's all wild cards. There's a lot of structure to it, but at the same time, everybody can be doing something different. And you're not in competition truly because you all have your own unique spin on it. So it's cool. But what it means is that ⁓ if, so our firm,   we bring in investor capital, ⁓ either through debt or equity. And then our investors trust us. We let them know like what we're investing in. usually have like a it depends on the type of investment. So I try not to get too technical here. It depends on the type of investment, but we let them know, hey, we're investing in XYZ companies, or we're investing in hard assets with like purchasing real estate that meet these certain criteria. So instead of   these investors taking their money and putting it into the stock market, they are putting it with private firms because the stock market is the public equities. then private equity is these private individually owned firms ⁓ that I mean, you have really large ones like BlackRock and Blackstone and ⁓ all of those. And then you have a lot of small ones like myself who are just getting off the ground. We don't have a lot of assets under management yet.   But as we develop that investor base, we're just going to keep that ball rolling and continuing.   Jason Hull (17:04) Yeah, so there's booty   firms, there's gigantic ones, there's lots of different categories of asset classes that they might be involved or invested in. And so somebody can pick a private equity company or something to partner with or get involved with that kind of is involved with the asset classes that they feel comfortable.   Ashton (17:23) Yeah,   absolutely. like, there's some, ⁓ like for us, we're real estate based and specifically Florida based real estate. There's, have friends who own hedge funds and that's all they do is hedge funds and specifically in like just in gold or in like just in commodities. We, there's people who are running funds based on really specific short-term rentals or within a five mile radius of national parks. So it gets down really, really, really specific.   ⁓ Up until like you large firms with very large funds and they have a diversified asset class over You know, they have hedge funds. They they're doing running venture They're doing ⁓ you know Secondaries they're actually in like the private equity sphere there. So it just really depends on on the firm itself and you want to make sure as if there's any investors listening you want to make sure that ⁓ your you fit with   how that firm is treating your money and running your money, and that it aligns with your goals, obviously, not just monetarily, but also with what they're investing in.   Jason Hull (18:32) Right, got it. Okay. And so how can property managers start to get involved in this and create this marriage? What are you doing?   Ashton (18:43) Yeah, so we're kind of doing it a little bit backwards. Most private equity firms, they start with raising capital and then they're going out and buying the asset and then they're outsourcing their vendors. So one of those vendors being property management and that's really where the gains and losses are happening is in the daily management style there. Then they realize and typically restructure   that they could be making more money. They could be increasing their bottom lines and everything else with that management. Everything hinges on the management when you're talking like hard assets in real estate, whether that's multifamily commercial, you know, residence, whatever it is. ⁓ So when they bring it in-house, they are restructuring. And there's also been a huge problem with   Jason Hull (19:36) Yeah.   Ashton (19:41) And I've been hearing this lately, huge problem with investor capital really not being watched out for by these firms because they're outsourcing all their vendors. What we did instead is I had already have the acquisition engine through our brokerage. We've already got all the systems set up in place for our property management firms, both short and long. Now we added the private equity firm. I have a series 65. So we're actually a state registered   Jason Hull (19:51) Right.   Ashton (20:10) like investment advisory firm for true asset management on the back end, which a lot of private equity firms do not have that. And then we added the capital. So we literally just did it backwards. And now we're focused on acquiring not only hard assets with cash flowing tenant occupied portfolios that meet certain metrics. We have to have a certain   Jason Hull (20:12) Okay.   Okay.   .   Ashton (20:37) IRR, we have to have a certain cap rate and a certain cash on cash return to even peak our interest. The other thing that we're buying is property management businesses. So we are working on acquisitions right now. We just completed one last week and we've got two more in the hopper. So we are going in and offering these off-market portfolios, know, minimum 20 up to, you   We have no limit on how many we'll buy, like minimum 20 units and we want creative financing. So we want to structure the deal where the seller and the owner is holding the majority of that note. We're using investor capital for the down payment. We're saving some to hedge for ⁓ reserves and we're going in and buying these companies to add to our revenue and our to our bottom line.   Jason Hull (21:35) I love it.   Ashton (21:36) Roll   up. That's the name and the term that's used in the private equity space is roll up.   Jason Hull (21:42) Roll-up, got it. So I've seen some of these companies in the past. I had a client, he eventually exited and sold his business to Home River Group. He had like 2,000 doors. So then he was kind more of a partner in Home River Group, 30,000 eventually. And he became kind of a consultant that would come in and these roll-ups that were being done in some instances, because they did it the reverse way from what you did, they thought they could just throw money at the problem.   So they went and acquired a whole bunch of property management companies. Sometimes, like some companies would acquire like 10,000 doors. Then they would fire like 7,000 of them because they realized there was so much garbage and it was difficult to manage. And then they thought they could just put in or install a property manager in and then the business would just run. But no real leadership for the boots on the ground. And so they would bring him in as a consultant. He would go in, fire everybody.   Ashton (22:34) Mm.   Jason Hull (22:42) organize a team, build a business and act as an interim CEO till he got the thing healthy and running. And he would make a lot of money because they were losing a lot of money trying to make this work. And people don't realize how hard property management can be. And so I think, yes, property managers have an advantage because they have the hardest piece of this entire puzzle, it sounds like.   Ashton (23:05) Yeah, it definitely is because you're dealing with you're dealing with tenants, you're dealing with the day to day your you are the boots on the ground. So that is why it is so important before we started any of this, I wanted to make sure that we had the proper systems in place that we could scale 500 more doors without blinking an eye. That is where you have to have that mindset and like you have to know what's going on before adding because when you just add   doors and just think that exactly what you said add doors and thinking that that's just going to like solve your problem you're just multiplying your problem whatever problems you have at 20 doors is going to be 10 fold at a thousand doors or more so ⁓ and more just doesn't necessarily equal better and that is one reason like in our contracts we actually do have clawbacks so if we do end up getting rid of owners that just aren't a fit   our purchase price is reduced down from the seller. So it gives the seller an incentive to ensure that they're selling us a good.   Jason Hull (24:11) Got it, yeah, that's important to have all that's in any sort of acquisition deal. So for other property managers that are looking to get into private equity and they're looking at maybe starting to do this, because they're like, you know what, I've got a healthy property management company, we've got the systems in place, is there somebody that I can partner with on this that already knows how to do it or can I go and learn to do this?   What would you say between those two options and where would you send them?   Ashton (24:43) Really? It depends on the person. This isn't for everybody. know, you, what I would recommend, and this is honestly what I tell anybody, no matter what business they're in, if they're thinking about growing, where do you want to be in three years? And let's reverse engineer it from there. So if you want to, like for us, our, our plan is to roll up to about 5,500 doors and then exit. So   Jason Hull (24:45) Yeah.   Got it.   Ashton (25:12) I already knew where I wanted to be. And so like, I wanted to exit at a certain amount. So I was like, how do I get to this amount? And then I just backed it up from there. ⁓ but that's, everybody's going to have a different goal. So I would highly recommend just like starting with that initial goal. that's, if that goal is freedom, if it is like, you want to be able to exit, you want to have, you want to just run a massive company, whatever it is, start there and then figure it out backwards.   Jason Hull (25:21) Okay.   Ashton (25:41) As far as bringing on capital and investor capital, whether they want to partner with somebody or if they want to like bring on debt, that's also a comfort level thing. ⁓ And it also depends on like what you and that other person that's bringing in the capital agree to and what you both feel like is the optimal solution. But before doing that, definitely educate yourself and find someone ⁓ either as a consultant like   Right now I am doing a little bit of consulting work for ⁓ different ⁓ funds as well as like companies like, you know, like what we're doing ⁓ for, you know, to help them with what their goals are. Let's back it up and then let's go from there. And like just adding some advice and getting them in touch with the right people that they need as far as connections. Analysts, numbers are so important when you're talking with investors.   You can't just be like, I think it's going to make this an investor, especially a sophisticated one is not going to go for that. Maybe friends and family will what I call country club money, but ⁓ a sophisticated investor, absolutely not. They're going to want to see a pro forma. ⁓ So there's so many steps involved before you ever, ever, ever bring on a dime of investor capital. So.   Jason Hull (26:51) Yep.   Ashton (27:09) I'm sorry, that's not like a ⁓ space.   Jason Hull (27:10) So, well, it sounds like   the path is maybe this. Like if you're a property manager first, you got to get your side of the room clean. You got to get your business tight. You got to get operations working, maybe reach out to DoorGro, get a little help, but you got to get things really well dialed in because it doesn't make sense to go start playing with other people's money and be on the hook for other people's money and investors.   Ashton (27:20) Yes.   was not.   Jason Hull (27:36) if you don't really feel like you have the ability to scale, you don't really feel like you can handle stuff, because if once money starts flowing and doors start adding, then if your stuff is okay, it's going to be stress tested and probably not okay. So that's probably first. Next, they need to learn about private equity, figure out that game, and then even once you figure out how that all works, then you've got to get good at selling it, which you are already a natural, you know...   Ashton (27:51) Yeah, exactly.   Jason Hull (28:05) Salesperson, you've invested a lot towards figuring that out, but then you're going out and you have to raise the cap.   Ashton (28:11) Raising capital is literally one of the hardest jobs. It is insane because you want to build a relationship and you want someone to trust you, but you're also asking for a check. And so it's trying to balance the relationship aspect as well as the transactional aspect. And it's even harder as a woman because private equity is definitely, ⁓ there's not a lot of women in this field.   Jason Hull (28:32) Yeah.   Ashton (28:41) ⁓ so it's even harder being like of the opposite gender. ⁓ so there's a lot to balance there. so getting, getting comfortable asking, but not being pushy. It's that I've learned so much from.   Jason Hull (28:56) As a woman, you've had   to take maybe a more feminine approach or you go in hot the way most guys would.   Ashton (29:04) It depends on the person.   It depends on my audience. You have to sell the way somebody wants to buy. So I've learned not to, at the beginning, I was definitely very transactional. And I've learned ⁓ through a dear friend of mine that to be more relationship-based and then that will come a little bit later with the transaction. ⁓ But at the same time, because I'm like,   Jason Hull (29:11) Yeah.   Mm-hmm.   Ashton (29:32) I need to know now. Like, I don't want to waste my time. I don't want to waste their time. We just need to lay it out on the table right now. They need to know what I'm here for. ⁓ I've had to like roll that back a little bit. And since I have, the checks have been definitely coming in a little bit smoother. So it was a huge learning experience for me.   Jason Hull (29:51) Yeah.   Ashton, how old are you right now for those listening? All they've heard is 23.   Ashton (29:59) I'm 30 now.   Jason Hull (30:01) 30 now, okay, you're 30 years old, you're doing amazing things. What amount of capital are you raising right now? Like what's your goal?   Ashton (30:05) Yeah.   Yeah, so we do different like rounds or like tranches of raising and it right now we are raising for specific projects. So as the projects come up, then we go out to our current investors first and then to like new potential investors next. ⁓ So in the spring, we're about to start doing another raise for ⁓ one, a business and then two, a couple other. ⁓   real estate portfolios that I'm looking at. ⁓ So that is going to be around the $800,000 mark of capital. And typically we do like minimum commitments of 100 because when you get into smaller amounts, typically the investors that are, I just become a little bit more needy because they're only, they're not as sophisticated and we want to deal with the investors who are.   Jason Hull (31:06) Got it. Yeah, that makes sense. Very cool. Sounds like you're doing really cool things. So Ashton, for those that are listening and they're curious about you, they're curious about maybe getting into this, you mentioned you do some consulting, you mentioned there may be investors or maybe they want to get in on some of the investing stuff that you're doing. How can they get in touch with you?   Ashton (31:29) Yeah, so they can send us an email. That would be the best way to you can send it to info at FX to capital calm. ⁓ And we, you know, are one of our interns checks that email on the daily. ⁓ So then we can set up an investor call and go through really well what your goals are. What is your portfolio look like right now?   How are you diversifying yourself? And maybe we can talk about what we can do to help increase that, maybe rebalance you a little bit within the private space and in the private markets.   Jason Hull (32:06) Cool, well property managers, if you're listening, I think Ashton's definitely doing something that's very cool. A lot of you probably could get in on this or create some sort of alliance or relationships that could allow you to be part of something like this. Even if it's just you're getting doors from other people that are in the private equity space that are rolling up a bunch of investment properties, this would be easy doors for you to get on if you really could do a good job. And it sounds like that's the linchpin, that's the hardest piece of the puzzle.   And if you're a good property manager, you've got that down then. So you've got a competitive advantage. So Ashwin, I appreciate you coming on and sharing this here on the board.   Ashton (32:43) Thank you.   Yeah, that was so much fun. It was so great talking to you.   Jason Hull (32:48) Awesome, so we'll go ahead and wrap up.

Investors have short memories—until the talk of a “bubble” resurfaces. We take investors on a quick trip down memory lane, discussing the infamous dot-com bubble of the late ‘90s and early 2000s, as well as the housing bubbled that appeared a few years later. These bubbles were fueled by sky-high optimism and wild speculation about transformative technologies. In the dot-com era, investors rushed into any company with a “.com” at the end of its name, confident the internet would change the world. But not all of these companies survived. The lesson is that when a game-changing technology new technology appears, you still have to do your due diligence to come out on top. [bctt tweet="AI stocks are the new #investing gold rush…but are you panning for gold or about to hit a bust? I break down the REAL risks of betting big on #tech giants—and why most #investors miss what matters in a bubble" username="wellensscott"] The Age of AI: Bubble or Breakthrough? The “Magnificent Seven” (Google, Meta/Facebook, Apple, Amazon, Nvidia, Tesla, and Microsoft) are pouring billions into AI. Their 2025 returns, as catalogued by Scott Wellands, were impressive, with the group averaging over 20%, outperforming the S&P 500. Yet, such meteoric rises echo the euphoria of past bubbles. But excitement alone doesn't make a bubble—overvaluation does. Valuation: How Expensive is Too Expensive? A key measure is the price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio, a classic way to judge if a company's stock price is justified by its profits. Take Tesla, for example: at the end of 2025, it traded at roughly $450 per share but earned only $1.50 per share, putting its P/E near 304. Compared to Toyota's P/E of about 10, that's nosebleed territory. The S&P 500's long-term average P/E sits around 20—a point of reference emphasizing just how stretched AI-heavy stocks may be. The Magnificent Seven's average P/E now hovers around 68, more than triple the broader market's historic average and well above the S&P's “other 493” companies. While high valuations don't guarantee a crash, they signal that expectations are sky-high and that disappointment could be costly. Picking Winners, Dodging Losers You can't invest in AI itself; you invest in companies riding the AI wave. History shows many won't make it. That's why betting everything on a few horses is extremely risky, even if their role in AI seems promising today. Over-concentration lurks as a hidden threat. If you own a standard S&P 500 index fund, 35% of your portfolio sits in the Magnificent Seven. For tech-heavy indices like the Nasdaq, that figure climbs to 54%. A stumble for these stars—already started in early 2025—can spell big trouble for portfolios tied too closely to their fortunes. [bctt tweet="No one has a crystal ball for the next #AI bubble—but family stewards can stack the odds. I reveal three ways to build #wealth using AI safely—and why a diversified #portfolio is your family's best hope for lasting wealth" username="wellensscott"] The Case for Global Diversification So how can investors harness AI's upside without exposing themselves to catastrophic risk? In a portfolio spanning thousands of companies worldwide across different sectors and asset classes, your exposure to the Magnificent Seven (and thus to AI) drops to about 20%. This cushions your wealth from the fallout if today's leaders falter and gives you a stake in the next wave of winners, wherever they arise.

欢迎收听雪球出品的财经有深度,雪球,国内领先的集投资交流交易一体的综合财富管理平台,聪明的投资者都在这里。今天分享的内容叫如何与优秀公司长期同行？以瑞普生物为例讲讲我的筛股标准（下）,来自天下哀霜。今天咱们继续昨天筛股的话题，看看一些其他的筛股维度。7.公司管理层能力与人品如何？暂时来说，我觉得都还挺不错。能力上，李守军这个团队能连续在不同赛道都做出很好的成绩，足够证明了。我这里讲个小故事，天津新闻写的，说李守军几年前有次开会的时候，给南开大学计算机系某知名教授递纸条，问怎么看A I的发展。该教授从理论实践角度出发，认为A I为时尚早，而李守军则坚定地从企业发展角度出发，认为A I是未来，要大胆拥抱未来。后来瑞普确实是，非常早的就拥抱了A I。这个故事天津新闻是想衬托李守军眼光上的独特，我后来多次听李守军的各种讲话，嗯，他的眼光与意识确实很好，我个人很赞同。而人品，瑞普早期也有过一些财务上不规范，但看起来都还是小问题。这几次关联收购，不管是以五十亿估值收瑞派的股权，还是一亿多收中瑞股权，亦或零元收瑞合股权，给股东感觉还是非常有诚意。然后数据披露信息披露上，我一直都没发现有瞒报误报。也只是在给指引预期时，经常乐观过头，但是一般都会迅速在下一个季报财报的时候及时修正，也就还好。当然，身为小股东，时刻观察警惕大股东动向，评判大股东的公德，建立拉黑机制，这是长期价投的基本要求了。8.公司的安全边际与未来潜能如何？投资第一件事，是保证本金的安全，而本金的安全，就必须要学会拆解和分析目标公司的安全边际和估值压力在哪里。在充分了解安全边际后，我们再稍微乐观展望公司未来潜能，评估我们这笔投资的收益有机会落在哪个区间。以瑞普为例，瑞普的核心业务，分为三块：第一大块是经济类动物健康服务，这是瑞普业务与现金流的基石，其中禽类业务又是基石中的基石。所谓基石，就是不能出问题的，最好未来几年都能稳定的存在。当前经济类动保行业状态并不乐观，主要是行业本身内卷加剧，价格战持续，加上养殖业并不太景气所以降本增效需求很高，因此防疫上的支出在努力缩减导致动保行业定价权在逐步丢失。但是瑞普在这里，凸显了足够的韧性与护城河优势，以至于以前有不少人怀疑瑞普财务造假，因为其他友商都被养殖周期所拖累，为何瑞普主业持续稳定上升没看到影响？因为瑞普在禽类赛道的全生态体系打法一旦建立，护城河就会随着时间越来越加固。它是真正意义的，把自己目标和客户目标合二为一了：帮客户做好健康防疫同时降本增效。瑞普是这个赛道里每年监测和检测做的最多的选手，也是主动培训下游客户最多的选手，没有之一。所以在不打价格战依然市占率攀升同时，二零二五年禽类赛道瑞普依然实现了双位数的上升。猪这里持续承压，但如果自己的猪腹泻m R N A落地，市场增量就会很大，加上行业的非洲猪瘟进展不错，它通过和科前与华中农业的合作也很有机会分一杯纯增量的羹。反刍这几年都是100%以上增长，只是基础还比较低，暂时也就千万级营收，但未来可期。从纯安全边际来说，这块业务这几年依然能保证3亿到4亿的利润，乐观的话，未来很有机会5亿起步。按安全边际，15到20倍的P E可以给60亿的估值。按乐观推算，80亿加的估值。第二大块是宠物业务的健康服务，这是瑞普布局了十几年正在逐步落地的，当前最强成长引擎业务。这部分业务又可以拆成三部分：自研宠物疫苗药品，瑞派股权以及中瑞供应链业务。自研宠物疫苗药品当前压箱底的是喵瑞舒，这两年都是两百万头份销量四千万营收附近，它定价二十元一头份，在国产里价格偏高。瑞普自己希望随着供应链业务的渗透，和国产替代降价后疫苗率的进一步渗透，瑞普能占据六百万头份的市场规模。驱虫药业务随着内驱妙普净和外驱莫普欣，以及犬类超比欣的落地，今年增长非常快。然后新上的麻醉剂，干扰素也是千万级爆品，在随着各类益生菌保健产品的推出，宠物医药这里矩阵效应和品牌效应初具规模。按指引和新的电话交流会，二零二五年宠物自研药品是八千万加的营收规模，增速在40%以上，二六年增速应该会继续保持。这部分毛利率50%加，净利率估计30%附近。考虑高增速，可以给30以上P E，预期估值参考给10亿。公司自己的期望是这部分业务中短期做到两亿的规模，长期看，往5亿走。考虑到猫传腹m R N A疫苗在申请临床，猫四联，犬四联都在推进，再加上还有些炎症相关全球创新药业务，我个人其实是希望有机会看到这部分营收过10亿的，但这太远，先不考虑估值。瑞派股权这里，瑞普目前占了13%，I P O前最后一次股权相关交易瑞派的估值是按70亿附近算的，对应瑞普部分大概是9亿多。I P O后瑞普股权自然会被稀释，估计到10%，瑞派估值应该在一百亿相对合理，所以瑞派这部分，就是9到10亿附近合理价位。如果瑞派I P O能成，借助上市的扶持，瑞派全国的扩张与海外初步扩张都有了强力支撑，这对瑞普的战略价值会更深远。对瑞普来说，瑞派一是提供了最直接医药销售终端的保障，二是瑞派的各种宠物病例，为瑞普的医药研发提供了最直接的样本支持和数据支持。这种战略联动，是很难直接量化的。中瑞供应链在二五年继续维持了40%以上高增速，营收规模达到了9到10亿的级别，目前全国覆盖率渗透率大概是35%。这部分业务目前也是潜在战略价值远大于直接经济价值，因为它的毛利率15%多，当前属于大投入阶段，净利润估计在3%附近。公司的中期目标是两三年内把供应链营收做到二十亿，相信供应链业务稳定后，净利润率应该能大于5%，未来有机会为集团贡献一到两亿左右利润。不过公司只占中瑞60%的股份（加上派瑞部分的间接持股正好60%），所以说，单纯净利润贡献并不会太大。但是这其实是瑞普宠物业务未来最主要护城河之一，因为中瑞目标是打造全国第一，甚至具备全球影响力的纯粹宠物医疗供应链，它能接触这个行业几乎所有优质同行选手，也能即使掌握行业最新最全的动向，对瑞普的自研业务来说，它就不单单是纯粹的渠道本身了。不过考虑安全边际，我认为供应链业务，暂时算3亿估值差不多把。潜能的话，未来给个10亿也不是问题。加起来，宠物业务的安全边际，三项加起来保守算，20亿是没问题的。我不信给其他公司20亿的资金，他们能就做得起来瑞普宠物业务现在的程度。第三大块是合成生物业务，我们可以当做纯期权业务，先预期给零。当前它主要是两项，一是上市公司100%持股，和中科院合作的菌丝蛋白，投资近7亿，预期明年年中能开始产出。公司自己整了个财务模型：一年13亿营收，25%的税后净利润。如果符合公司预期，那就是增加3亿多净利润，考虑合成生物的成长属性，那60亿估值很合理吧。不过我们目前当这部分为零，等公司产品信息披露更多再说。二是瑞普和中科院天津工业生物技术研究所的合作骨化二醇项目，今年1月已经产品落地了。这部分放在了瑞合，是维生素的高端升级产品，国内市场主要在花园生物，估计对瑞普是几千万级别的产品，但胜在毛利率高。合成生物业务整体，其实并不是p p t了。国内在政策上也在不断推进，二零二五年11月，中国卫健委正式批准威尼斯镰刀菌为新食品原料，这标志着国内菌丝蛋白商业化进入了实质性的准入期。这意味着瑞普的菌丝蛋白在政策上的不确定性也消除了不少。不过我们保守嘛，保守就是先给零。于是合起来算，经济动物60亿加宠物20亿加合成生物零等于80亿。当前股价19，对应市值88亿，也就是说，顶多一个跌停，就是最保守的安全边际。哦，其实还有一个小版块，是出海，我没提。实际上二五年瑞普的海外增速大概是100%，但大部分是原料药业务，毛利率低，不给估值合理。然后毛利率高的药剂，出海目前5000万规模，也是100%单独增速，未来公司想把药剂出海拉高到两亿起步。不管怎样，我们先保守不给预期。至于潜能，稍微乐观状态，经济类动物做到5亿利润，宠物做到两亿利润，合成生物真的做到3亿，利润加一起是10亿，给20这样的成长股P E，两百亿市值是可以预期的。更乐观我就不写了，做梦可以随便做。于是边际80亿托底，上限先看一百五十到两百亿，这笔投资，我选择跟。9.身为股东，我们日常该如何关注公司变化？作为成长型公司，我们最应该关注的，是逻辑预期落地后的实际成绩。瑞普这只股最性感的地方，是战略联动，所以我们要优先看它战略联动的效果是真实的，还是虚伪的。比如说，宠物供应链的扩张，必然要带动自营宠物医药业务的放量，可能会有点滞后性，但趋势一定要在。所以我们每个财报出来，都优先算下供应链业务增速和自营医药业务增速的关系，看逻辑合不合理。单以二零二五年的数据，二者增速大概都会落在40%加，合理。再比如，瑞普的宠物产品矩阵效应，品牌效应是否是真实增长的，我们可以多关注电商平台瑞普旗舰店的销量变化，和榜单排名，看看线上业务的发展到底如何。目前来说，天猫淘宝，京东，抖音，拼多多等渠道在宠物行业整体市占率约为29%，9%，9%与10%。最好追的，还是天猫和京东。我个人没事就进去转转，至少从天猫的销量来看，放量增长迹象还是很好的。对了，我身在美国，但我们家两只猫的驱虫药，现在全部是从瑞普京东旗舰店下单的内驱外驱组合，让朋友家人从国内带过来，算是小股东尽的绵薄之力，而且我感觉驱虫效果确实很好。再就是我之前一直提的，国家兽药基础数据库，生产批号与签批次数等数据，全部一目了然，完全可以作为生产端景气程度的一个直接参照。如果各位股东所在城市还有瑞派连锁，家里也养宠物，那就更可以尝试去瑞派当个付费会员，体验下瑞派在宠物诊疗上到底服务能力和专业能力如何了。近期还可以重点关注下瑞派港股I P O进展。把以上部分做好，瑞普宠物业务的发展趋势，基本就都在各位股东的眼皮底下清晰了然了。其实做到这部分调研就够了，如果精力在旺盛又对人家经济动保有担心，那就再多关注下养殖行业的每周价格数据，以及兽药原料药的价格数据。除此外，瑞普自己有很多社交账号会不断发布公司新闻和视频，天津保税区也时常报道瑞普的宠物业务和合成生物业务的动向。如果大家搞了这么多，还是精力充沛，那就再多关注下m R N A等瑞普正在突破的技术平台的再学术界和商业界的验证，以此预判瑞普成功的难度，和商业化的潜力。 相信大家这么多方式跟踪下来，对公司就只会越来越熟悉。而熟悉，就是能长期拿的最关键条件之一。10.小结简而言之，就是守正出奇，如同瑞普这种可以靠经济动物业务稳定现金流并确立80亿安全边际，又可以靠宠物生态布局与合成生物期权博取一百五十到两百亿上行空间的股，他就是我想长期持有的优质标的。我并没那么在乎当前需要熬的时间成本，我只在乎我的调研，能否及时修正和改进我的投资模型与逻辑，为我这笔投资增加更多的确定性。

Se você conhece a Deus e tem uma relacionamento com ele, nao precisa sentir-se assim, pois pode pedir a ele que te oriente, que mostre qual caminho deve seguir. O Senhor nos orienta através de sua Palavra, a Bíblia. Você pode pedir ao Senhor que o oriente e precisa ler a Bíblia, pois ele a usará para responder à sua oração. Nao fique desnorteado, busque ao Senhor, leia a Palavra, ele te dirigirá. Peça orientação ao Senhor, ele não o deixará sem direção.

In this episode of The Boardroom Buzz, the Blue Collar Twins sit down with Gary Journeaux, founder of Competitive Pest Services (CPS) – the largest independent, 100% Australian‑owned pest company with national coverage and a 200% money‑back guarantee. Gary bought a tiny one‑man pest business at 24, with zero experience on the tools, and grew it into a 200‑person operation with teams across Australia and Myanmar, national commercial portfolios, and technicians who are some of the best paid in the industry. He did it without private equity, without big marketing budgets (zero AdWords for 5+ years), and without becoming “just another multinational.” Instead, he bet everything on customer experience, culture, and being the underdog that big clients actually like. You'll learn: How Gary went from ad-agency employee to buying a one‑man pest route at 24Why CPS is 95% commercial, 5% residential, and how that kills seasonality riskThe 200% money-back guarantee that forced competitors to copy himHow he scaled nationally (Australia + Myanmar) with no PE money and brutal cashflow constraintsWhy CPS pays techs top-of-market and still wins big national tendersHow “one tech, one child” and free work for Ronald McDonald House became recruiting superpowersWhy Gary is comfortable turning down multinationals and focused on doubling revenue by 2026 Ready for boardroom-level help with your own business? • Grow, sell, or exit your service company with Potomac: https://www.potomaccompany.com Connect with the hosts: • Blue Collar Twins – Jason & Jeremy Julio: https://bluecollartwins.com Connect with Paul: • Paul Giannamore – Managing Director & M&A advisor at Potomac: https://www.linkedin.com/in/paulgiannamore

Supercell's annual CEO blog post reads equal parts culture memo and a recruiting pitch. We break down what is behind the PR spin before zooming into Clash Royale's Lil Wayne halftime show as a case study in where “brand” ends and product-led fandom begins.From there, we triangulate the broader market: Newzoo's year-end PC/console recap as a reminder that attention is consolidating, not expanding; Roblox's growth story as it starts acknowledging gravity; and an update on Budge and PE as capital keeps rewriting the rules of what “good” looks like.

Omul care a dat Capitalei primul teatru nou construit în ultimii 80 de ani - Chris Simion – îi spune lui Mohai Morar cum poți învinge sistemul în timp ce lupți pentru viața ta!Pentru unii, Chris Simion este sinonimă cu Griviței 53. Primul teatru particular construit de la zero în Bucuresti din 1946! O realizare incredibilă, dacă ne gândim câte guverne și câți zeci de miniștri ai culturii au trecut în această perioadă fără sa aibă o realizare similară. O reușită care arată ce poate face determinarea dar și coeziunea, Griviței 53 fiind construit alături de 14.000 de bucureșteni, oameni simpli care au rezonat cu nevoile orașului lor și au donat pentru o nouă instituție de cultură.Însă în spatele acestui succes se află altul: povestea de viață a lui Chris, diagnosticată cu cancer. O boală pe care a învins-o. Iar atitudinea ei în lupta cu boala este cea mai frumoasă pildă pe care o putem urma toți, zi de zi. Pentru că povestea ei ne arată puterea pe care ne-o dau încrederea în bine, credința și dorința de a trăi!Omul care și-a vândut casa pentru a face artă fără compromis, care a ales să trăiască mai departe în timp ce lupta cu cancerul, ne propune acum un nou fel de a face cultură în România.Pe scena Fain & Simplu, Mihai Morar o prezintă pe Chris Simion în rolul propriei vieți: cum învingi cancerul în timp ce construiești un teatru, cărămidă cu cărămidă.

So who's really driving this machine?Today's guest, Paul Gamble, PhD, has spent his career preparing elite and international athletes. But after years inside professional sport, he started asking an uncomfortable question: Are we developing better athletes—or just burning kids out earlier?In his book, Sport Parenting, Paul introduces the idea of the Sport Parent, a powerful, often invisible force shaping sport more than governing bodies, or even coaches. Whether you're a parent, a former youth athlete or someone who still has emotional scars from PE class, this conversation hits close to home.We're talking about early specialization, the rise of “premature professionalism,” why modern kids are actually becoming less athletic, and how well-meaning adults may be trading their kids' long-term confidence and love of movement for short-term results.This isn't an episode about blaming parents. It's about unpacking how a culture obsessed with performance turns play into pressure—and what it costs kids, sport and, ultimately, all of us.Subscribe to The Shakeout Podcast feed on Apple, Spotify, YouTube or wherever you find your podcasts.Follow Paul on social media @PaulGamblePHD and check out his book, Sport Parenting

Texas wrestling is on the verge of a major shift — and Coach Grant Leath is right in the middle of it.In Episode 435 of Airey Bros Radio, we go belly-to-belly with Coach Grant Leath, head wrestling coach at Tarleton State and a key part of the Texas Collegiate Wrestling Foundation, to talk about building a program with national ambition — and what it could mean for the first NCAA Division I wrestling future in Texas history.We get into Grant's Missouri roots, how injuries shaped him as a coach, the culture of “Tiger Style” (and why he's adjusted training to protect athletes who are too motivated), and what it's really like fundraising from scratch — including the wild idea of a bull-riding fundraiser.We also spotlight what doesn't get enough love: the NCWA. Grant explains why the NCWA is one of the biggest opportunity-makers in wrestling, how it can function as a pipeline for roster caps, and why it may be the sport's best “insurance policy” in uncertain NCAA times.Plus: Grant's health-conscious dress shoe brand built for recovery (“running shoe disguised as a dress shoe”), recruiting angles, tuition hacks for out-of-state athletes, and why Texas is still massively under-tapped.Key topics: Tarleton State Wrestling, Texas D1 wrestling, NCWA, Tiger Style, Rob Cole, Stanford Wrestling, Missouri Wrestling, recruiting, fundraising, roster caps, NCAA uncertainty, in-state tuition waivers, Texas wrestling growth, Shreveport NCWA nationals.Show Notes With Timestamps0:00 ABR mission: spotlighting JUCO/NAIA/D2/D3/NCWA programs + getting Jersey kids everywhere2:26 Full ABR intro + guest intro: Coach Grant Leath (Tarleton State) + Texas Collegiate Wrestling Foundation5:20 Recruiting plugs + where to learn more (tsu wrestling site, updates, newsletter)6:11 Grant plugs his product: health-conscious dress shoes (recovery-focused), copper threading + Hoka-style outsole8:33 ABR pitch: “I'll run a marathon in your dress shoes” cross-promo (Leadville + 26.2 talk)10:23 Grant's origin story: tiny-town Missouri kid hears “wrestling” and thinks WWE11:50 First practice moment: coach tells dad “he's a natural” — and Grant can't quit after that13:13 Coaching starts in college: injuries, surgeries, and coaching teammates while sidelined14:47 Career impact: major injuries, peak ranking, nationals finish, and the hard stop16:07 The bitter taste + leaving wrestling… briefly (Florida job)17:08 Lessons from injuries: film study, mental reps, never guaranteed anything, gratitude for mat time18:50 Training philosophy shift: balancing “one more” with recovery for intrinsically motivated athletes21:20 Breaking down Tiger Style: identity, daily choices, culture pillars, “one more” mentality23:03 ABR adopting “one more” into coaching/PE culture24:03 Path to Stanford: missing wrestling, Tampa Jesuit help, Stanford storyline + Rob Cole connection25:54 The legendary Rob Cole reply: “not qualified” + equipment room joke → then the real invite27:39 Driving 44 hours to the Bay Area + first real coaching break30:47 Staff change → being let go + the Texas D1 opportunity emerges33:47 Fundraising rumor confirmed: bull riding fundraiser idea (Tarleton rodeo culture)36:20 Comedy fundraiser: Grant does 10 minutes opening for Greg Warren (sold-out event)41:18 Reality check: fundraising without alumni, room, or built-in base — “what am I fundraising for?”42:39 D1 timeline tease: conference acceptance + “major announcement soon” (careful not to overpromise)43:54 Season update: roster changes, ranked progress, D1 opponents, tournament placers, NCWA ranking46:22 Recruiting pitch: being first in Texas, trailblazer mindset, “do what Little Rock did — faster”49:34 Mike Moyer/NWCA goal: a D1 program in every state + Texas impact53:09 Why the NCWA matters: opportunities, roster caps pipeline, growth, and wrestling's safety net59:11 NCWA gripe: Club Cup duels restriction conflicts with “opportunity” mission1:00:52 Tarleton recruiting: in-state tuition waiver for out-of-state (GPA/SAT/class rank)1:03:00 Location + campus growth + Texas A&M system resources1:03:43 Tarleton majors: education, nursing, engineering, ag + job placement stats1:06:00 Roster makeup: mostly Texas kids + untapped recruiting market1:11:05 Texas wrestling participation growth + number of programs vs public schools1:13:13 Tarleton as new D1 athletic department + campus culture (clean campus, “don't walk on the grass”)1:15:03 “60% female population” note for the single wrestlers
