Interview with Jeffrey R. Wilson, President & CEO OF Precipitate Gold Corp.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/precipitate-gold-tsxvprg-positions-for-discovery-in-de-risked-dominican-republic-9049Recording date: 1st March 2026Precipitate Gold Corp. (TSXV:PRG) is a junior gold and copper explorer focused on two projects in the Dominican Republic. Entering 2026, the company is better capitalised, better connected, and closer to meaningful exploration results than at any point in recent years. For investors evaluating the junior gold space, the setup warrants attention.The company closed a $6.5 million financing in January 2026, distinguishing itself not by the amount raised but by the source. Dominican Republic generational-wealth families with diversified business interests and decades of in-country influence anchored the round. They now hold more than 20% of the share registry. These are not speculative mining investors. They have also backed neighbouring Goldquest at successively higher price points, and they have expressed willingness to support future capital requirements if the exploration programmes deliver results. That kind of aligned, long-term, in-country capital is rare for a company at Precipitate's stage, and it materially changes the company's operational and regulatory posture in the Dominican Republic.The first drill programme begins at Pueblo Grande in March 2026. The project sits immediately adjacent to Barrick Gold's Pueblo Viejo open-pit mine, one of the largest gold operations on the planet. Barrick previously spent approximately $7 million exploring this ground before returning it to Precipitate. In reviewing that dataset, Precipitate's geologists identified a chargeability anomaly of geophysical indicator of potential sulphide mineralisation that appears to have been overlooked or deprioritised. The anomaly is substantial: approximately 800 by 400 metres, beginning at around 100 metres depth and extending to 350 metres, sitting roughly half a kilometre from the pit edge. Precipitate confirmed it with independent geophysical surveying. An initial programme of approximately 2,000 metres across four to five holes will determine whether the target contains meaningful mineralisation. Management has been clear: this is a binary event. Positive results will expand the programme; negative results shift focus entirely to Juan de Herrera.Juan de Herrera is the company's flagship project and sits adjacent to Goldquest's Romero deposit, a reported resource of approximately 3.5 million gold-equivalent ounces. Precipitate has assembled an extensive exploration database there over several years—surface geochemistry, geological mapping, and multiple rounds of ground geophysics—on ground that has never been drilled by any prior operator. A 10,000-metre campaign across four to five targets is planned to run from Q2 through year-end 2026. Goldquest's own 2026 drilling activity at and around Romero will independently generate news flow that draws attention to the belt, functioning as an additional catalyst that costs Precipitate nothing.The broader context matters. The Dominican Republic's regulatory environment has shifted. Community opposition that stalled permits for years has been addressed through structured engagement. Permits are being issued. Institutional interest in the jurisdiction is growing. And gold's macroeconomic backdrop—sustained elevated prices, constrained supply from ageing deposits, and continued central bank demand—provides the most supportive exploration environment in nearly a decade.Precipitate enters 2026 with a funded balance sheet, strategic assets, quality backers, and two imminent drill programmes. The risk profile is that of a junior explorer: binary outcomes are possible at Pueblo Grande, and first-pass drilling at Juan de Herrera carries inherent uncertainty. But the conditions supporting a positive outcome—geological, financial, jurisdictional, and macroeconomic—are as well aligned as they have been in the company's history. Investors with appropriate risk tolerance should be watching closely as results begin to flow from March onward.View Precipitate Gold's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/precipitate-gold-corpSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

California's housing crisis isn't a riddle; it's a chain reaction. We trace it from land policy and restrictive growth boundaries to code complexity, construction costs, and the quiet social fallout inside families, schools, synagogues, and neighborhoods. With demographers, advocates, and veteran builders around the table, we unpack why the median home price-to-income ratio ballooned, how the land share of a home soared past construction, and why four million people have left since 2000.We share the human side too. A sociologist reveals how rising housing costs cut synagogue membership nearly in half among families most likely to join, as tighter budgets crowd out camp and education. Advocates argue for choice—compact, walkable neighborhoods for those who want them and room for larger lots inland—while spotlighting how public meetings are dominated by a few voices. The call is direct: younger residents and employers must show up so councils hear the demand for attainable ownership and missing-middle homes.From the jobsite, developers explain what actually moves the needle. Modular manufacturing compresses timelines and slashes vertical costs, while disciplined preconstruction and fast pay keep trades engaged. We dig into how layered fire, structural, plumbing, and zoning codes shrink the set of buildable solutions, stalling adaptive reuse and office-to-housing conversions. The path forward blends targeted code modernization with strong enforcement, faster approvals, and a regional lens that points to the Inland Empire's scale, jobs pipeline, and remaining land as the state's most realistic release valve.We close with a grounded view on homelessness: build dedicated supportive options at lower cost per bed, and simultaneously build far more homes for everyone to prevent people from falling into homelessness in the first place. If you care about affordability, mobility, and the future of California's middle class, this conversation offers a practical playbook—align land policy, simplify codes, cut build times, and reclaim the civic microphone.If this episode resonates, follow the show, share it with a friend who cares about housing, and leave a review with the one change you'd make in your city.

Africa Highlights and Travel Lessons: Egypt Challenges, Gorilla Trekking, Vic Falls, and Cape TownTyler hosts Non Rev Lounge in Austin with returning guest Melissa and her husband Jay, longtime friends who first met Tyler on a Southwest flight and later traveled together to Hawaii. They discuss Melissa and Jay's multi-week Africa trip planned around Jay's 50th birthday, including missing Tyler's family by a few hours in South Africa due to itinerary timing. The conversation covers a difficult, budget-style stop in Egypt (Cairo) with a non-English-speaking driver, getting lost en route to the pyramids, frequent requests for money from vendors and even a police officer, confusion around museum pickup logistics, being taken to an underwhelming “bazaar,” disappointment about a cheaper-than-expected dinner cruise, and an unpleasant hotel dining payment incident; they conclude Egypt is better done via a prepaid guided tour or river cruise. They then describe traveling through Rwanda and Uganda, visiting the Kigali Genocide Museum (highly emotional and impactful, leading them to skip the planned city tour) and completing a gorilla trek in Uganda's Bwindi Impenetrable Forest They also recount activities around Victoria Falls such as the Devil's Pool experience on the Zambia side (swimming across, proximity to hippos/crocodiles, and fish nibbling feet), plus zip lining, lion walking (with safety rules and notes about controversy and the operator's reluctance), rafting, and a Botswana safari near Chobe National Park and the Chobe River with many elephants. They touch on flights and logistics—using miles for British Airways into Egypt, buying some intra-Africa flights for reliability (including Ethiopian and Kenya), concerns about weight-restricted flights returning to the U.S. (ultimately flying United to Newark and onward), using candy as a thank-you (sometimes refused as a “bribe”), and doing laundry via sink washing and local services. 00:00 Welcome to NonRev Lounge + Introducing Melissa & Jay01:56 How Tyler & Melissa Met: The Southwest Flight That Started It All02:53 Buddy Passes, Hawaii Trips, and Travel Style Differences04:59 Back to Austin: Texas Weather Whiplash & Catching Up06:07 Why Africa?

Some movies are about finally arriving somewhere. ‘Nirvanna The Band The Show The Movie' is about two people refusing to stop walking the same thankless path together. Built from decades‑old footage, rewritten realities, real stunts, and a running gag that has never paid off, the film disguises something deeply human inside its most absurd impulses. Beneath the time travel, the public stunts, and the escalating chaos sits a simple question the movie never stops asking: what does it mean to keep choosing the same collaborator, the same friend, long after logic says it would be easier to move on?That tension animates both the film and this conversation with Matt Johnson and Jay McCarrol, who have been in and building some version of Nirvanna The Band together for nearly twenty years. While the finished movie feels precise and inevitable, Johnson was clear that its existence was anything but. There was no groundswell of industry interest, no clean path from cult series to feature film. The only reason it exists is because of a blank check they received after the success of their film, "Blackberry."

The conversation is filled with personal stories, local event shout-outs, and lighthearted moments, showcasing the warmth and neighborly spirit that defines Grayslake. Listeners are encouraged to support local businesses, connect with Affordable Interiors, and spread kindness throughout the community.   Discovering Grayslake: Lessons in Remodeling, Community, and Connection with Affordable Interiors Grayslake, Illinois, is more than just a dot on the map—it's a vibrant community where local businesses, families, and leaders come together to create a hometown feel that's hard to find elsewhere. In a recent episode of the "Discovering Grayslake" podcast, host David Wolf sat down with Nick and Katelyn from Affordable Interiors, a beloved local business specializing in kitchen, bath, and home remodeling. Their conversation offers a treasure trove of insights for anyone considering a home renovation, as well as a heartfelt look at what makes Grayslake such a special place to live and work. Whether you're a homeowner thinking about a remodel, a business owner looking to deepen your community ties, or simply a Grayslake resident who loves supporting local, this episode is packed with actionable advice, expert perspectives, and a genuine sense of hometown pride. Table of Contents The Remodeling Process: What to Expect Personalized Design: Marrying Form and Function Managing Timelines and Expectations Navigating the Emotional Journey of Remodeling Community Roots: The Value of Local Connections Actionable Tips for Homeowners Supporting Local: Why It Matters Final Thoughts: Building Homes, Building Community 1. The Remodeling Process: What to Expect Nick and Katelyn demystify the remodeling process, emphasizing that a successful project is built on clear communication, careful planning, and a personalized approach. Step-by-Step Breakdown: Initial Consultation:**     The journey begins with a phone call to discuss your goals, needs, and vision. Don't worry about the current state of your home—Affordable Interiors prides itself on a judgment-free approach. In-Home Measurement:**     A team member visits your home to take precise measurements and assess the project's scope. This ensures that every detail is tailored to your space. Showroom Appointment:**     Clients are invited to the downtown Grayslake showroom to explore materials, finishes, and design options. This hands-on experience helps you visualize the possibilities and make informed choices. Detailed Estimate:**     After the initial meetings, you'll receive a comprehensive estimate that reflects your unique project, including materials, labor, and timelines. Permits and Inspections:**     Affordable Interiors handles all necessary permits and inspections, streamlining the process and ensuring compliance with local regulations. Project Execution:**     The team coordinates demo, prep work, and installation, keeping you informed at every stage. Expert Insight:   Nick highlights the importance of flexibility and transparency, noting that every project is unique and may require adjustments along the way. Their process is designed to minimize stress and maximize satisfaction. 2. Personalized Design: Marrying Form and Function Remodeling isn't just about following the latest trends—it's about creating a space that reflects your personality, lifestyle, and long-term needs. Key Principles: Timeless Over Trendy:**     While blue cabinets and bold islands have had their moment, Nick and Katelyn encourage clients to choose designs that will stand the test of time. Your home should feel like your home, not a showroom. Aging in Place:**     Many clients remodel with the intention of staying in their homes for years to come. Katelyn emphasizes the importance of functional layouts, accessible features, and durable materials that support aging in place. Client-Centered Approach:**     The design process is collaborative. Katelyn works closely with clients to understand their routines, preferences, and future plans, ensuring the final result is both beautiful and practical. Actionable Advice: Bring inspiration photos, but be open to professional guidance. Think about how you use your space daily—storage, lighting, and flow matter as much as aesthetics. Don't be afraid to express your personality through color, texture, and unique features. 3. Managing Timelines and Expectations One of the most common questions Nick and Katelyn hear is, "How soon can you start?" The answer depends on several factors, and setting realistic expectations is crucial for a smooth experience. Timeline Factors: Cabinet Lead Times:**     Some cabinet lines arrive in 2-3 weeks, while others may take up to 3 months. The team schedules demo and prep work accordingly to avoid unnecessary downtime. Permits and Inspections:**     Kitchens and bathrooms often require permits and inspections, which can add 4-6 weeks to the timeline. Scope of Work:**     Larger projects or those involving structural changes will naturally take longer. Pro Tips: Start planning early, especially if you have a specific deadline (e.g., holidays, family events). Communicate openly about your priorities and constraints. Trust the process—rushing can lead to mistakes or missed details. 4. Navigating the Emotional Journey of Remodeling Remodeling is as much an emotional journey as it is a logistical one. Katelyn and Nick are keenly aware of the vulnerability clients feel when their homes are in transition. Common Emotions: Anxiety:**     Seeing your kitchen or bathroom gutted can be unsettling, even if you know it's temporary. Excitement:**     Watching the transformation unfold—tile, flooring, cabinets—brings anticipation and joy. Relief and Pride:**     The final reveal is often met with relief, pride, and a renewed love for your home. How Affordable Interiors Supports Clients: Clear Communication:**     The team explains each step, so clients know what to expect and when. Empathy:**     They encourage clients to give themselves grace and not feel embarrassed about the "before" state of their home. Celebrating Progress:**     Milestones are acknowledged, and clients are kept in the loop, making the journey more enjoyable. 5. Community Roots: The Value of Local Connections Affordable Interiors isn't just a business—it's a neighbor. Nick and Katelyn live in Grayslake, their showroom is housed in a historic building, and they're active members of the Grayslake Chamber of Commerce. Community Involvement: Local Events:**     From the Festival of Lights parade to the Saint Patrick's Day parade, Nick and Katelyn love participating in community celebrations. Charity and Support:**     They regularly donate to local causes, such as the bachelorette auction benefiting a family in need. Showroom Dog, Cooper:**     Their trilingual cocker spaniel, Cooper, is a local celebrity and adds a welcoming touch to the showroom. Why It Matters: Local businesses reinvest in the community, creating jobs and supporting local causes. Familiar faces and personal relationships foster trust and accountability. Community pride is contagious—when businesses thrive, so does the town. 6. Actionable Tips for Homeowners Thinking about starting your own remodeling project? Here's what Nick and Katelyn recommend: Don't Wait for "Perfect" Conditions:**     Many clients put off remodeling because they're embarrassed by their home's current state. The team at Affordable Interiors has seen it all—no judgment, just solutions. Start with a Conversation:**     A simple phone call can clarify your options and set the process in motion. Be Honest About Your Needs:**     Whether you're planning to age in place, need more storage, or want a fresh look, share your goals openly. Plan for the Unexpected:**     Remodeling can uncover surprises (old wiring, plumbing issues). Build a little flexibility into your budget and timeline. Stay Engaged:**     Visit the showroom, ask questions, and stay involved in decisions. Your input is invaluable. 7. Supporting Local: Why It Matters The episode underscores the importance of supporting local businesses—not just for economic reasons, but for the sense of connection and pride it brings. How to Support Local: Shop and Hire Locally:**     Choose local businesses for your needs, from remodeling to dining and beyond. Spread the Word:**     Share positive experiences with friends, family, and on social media. Participate in Community Events:**     Attend parades, markets, and fundraisers to strengthen community bonds. Practice Kindness:**     As the podcast host suggests, perform random acts of kindness—smile, hold a door, thank a service worker. Small gestures make a big difference. 8. Final Thoughts: Building Homes, Building Community The story of Affordable Interiors is a testament to what makes Grayslake special: hard work, personal relationships, and a deep commitment to community. Nick and Katelyn's expertise, empathy, and local pride

How many times have you been invited to something and instantly thought “oh that sounds terrible - I don't want to do that”?  Come on.  Be honest.  Likely more often than you want to admit.  When I saw the three break-out groups of the SPEED Task Force, that's exactly what I thought…  But then it occurred to me that this service wasn't about me.  It was about the people who didn't have a voice or a seat at the table.  But I do.  That's when I knew I had to volunteer - against my inner voice - to serve on all three groups.  These are called PIGs, which is short for Permitted Interaction Groups, all in efforts to help simplify building permits in the State of Hawaii.  In today's episode, which is the second installment of a 3-part series, I screenshare what the PIGs are all about, what the Counties had to report about the building permit problems, and my 20 recommendations I put forward to help the awkward conversations.   Resource Links: Task Force Link SPEED Task Force Info Task Force Presentation from SHPD/Jessica Puff Preserving and Protecting Hawaii's Historic Identity through Architecture, Archaeology, and History and Culture Task Force Presentation from DOH/Jon N  2025_DOH_Wastewater_Branch.pdf Big Island Presentation  Hawaii County Building Permit Process.pdf Kauai Presentation  2025_Kauai_Permit_Process.pdf DPP link for Presentation  DBEDT Trends in Honolulu Building Permits 2005-2024.pdf Recommendation/SWOT 2025_STF_Recommendation_and_SWOT_Form.pdf Summary of my SWOTs - PDF attachment (View on Website Post) Hawaii Department of Health “Bedroom Guidance” - PDF Attachment (View on Website Post) Learn more about your ad choices.
