This episode of Inside the Vault with Ash Cash features entrepreneur, coach, and salon suite mogul Patrice “Sway the Pro” McKinney.Throughout the conversation, Patrice shares her journey from working behind the chair to becoming a multi-millionaire by building salon suites — a business model she describes as being a landlord in the hair and beauty industry. She explains why the “sexy route” in entrepreneurship is often the least profitable and how quiet, strategic positioning creates long-term wealth.Listeners will hear candid stories about setbacks, resilience, belief, and mindset — including moments where everything went wrong but quitting was not an option. Patrice also breaks down the salon suite business model, how leasing commercial property works, how to fill suites, common mistakes to avoid, and when franchising makes sense.This episode focuses on money mindset, smart business strategy, and the power of belief — especially for first-generation wealth builders.⏱️ Timestamps / Chapters0:00 – “Cigarette money” & being warned against barbering 0:10 – Seeing barbers living well in Atlanta & New York 0:17 – Why the “sexy route” is often the least lucrative 0:24 – Breakthroughs always come with quit moments 0:30 – Signing the lease & immediate setbacks 0:36 – Architect runs off with the money 0:42 – Permits, pressure, and breaking down emotionally 0:48 – Unexpected help clears the way 0:54 – “Everybody got ‘owner' in their bio” 1:00 – Do you need to own property to build salon suites? 1:06 – Leasing vs owning explained 1:13 – What it takes to cross into millionaire status 1:19 – Do you have to be delusional to succeed? 1:24 – Legacy and long-term impact2:36 – Official show intro: Inside the Vault with Ash Cash 2:50 – Patrice's business model overview 3:04 – Turning 95 sq ft into $1,500/month 3:16 – Risking everything to build the first location 3:22 – Selling the first location & still collecting royalties4:10 – Patrice introduces herself in her own words 4:48 – Coaching & mentoring in the beauty industry 5:32 – Falling in love with salon suites 6:03 – Barber shop vs salon suite comparison 6:15 – Why salon suites are hands-off and scalable7:27 – Why calm money is better than flashy money 7:52 – Working smarter, not harder8:22 – Upbringing, popularity, and mindset 9:55 – Basketball career & full scholarship 10:45 – Why she didn't pursue the WNBA 11:20 – Pivoting into music and entertainment12:34 – Music industry gatekeeping & rejection 13:38 – Being told to change who she was 14:33 – God's redirection and bigger purpose15:09 – Resilience through repeated setbacks 16:37 – Growing up without role models 17:03 – Deciding to break the cycle17:36 – Moving the family from Michigan to Georgia 18:01 – Crashing the U-Haul 18:46 – Losing housing at the last minute 19:17 – Laptop stolen before the move 19:52 – Choosing not to turn back20:26 – Carrying the weight for the family 21:09 – “Make it a good decision by doing whatever it takes”21:38 – Being the first millionaire in the family 22:03 – Belief as the real barrier 22:20 – Optimistic delusion explained23:49 – Every breakthrough comes with resistance 24:22 – Buildout stress & no mentorship 25:09 – Racism, permitting delays, and anxiety 25:55 – Why mentorship matters27:38 – What salon suites actually are 28:14 – Why the model works long-term 29:01 – Comparing salon suites to real estate 30:03 – Students making six figures from one location 30:33 – Big brands doing $70M+ annually31:57 – Leasing vs owning explained again 32:22 – Why “ownership” is misunderstood 33:08 – Using other people's money ethically 34:07 – Tenant improvement allowances (TI) 34:55 – Landlords funding buildouts36:10 – How many suites to start with 36:46 – Medical office spaces as ideal properties38:02 – How to fill salon suites 38:25 – Social media as the #1 marketing tool 39:10 – SEO vs paid ads40:35 – Biggest mistakes new owners make 41:10 – Wasting square footage 41:49 – Not understanding commercial leases42:46 – Franchising: when it makes sense 43:34 – Systems, SOPs, and FDDs 44:24 – How franchising accelerates growth48:09 – Why she wrote Sweet Victory 49:12 – Showing the full journey, not just success50:01 – Defining legacy and impact 51:24 – The importance of support systems 52:17 – Support helps but isn't required53:50 – Handling visibility, blogs, and virality 55:23 – What's next: real estate, investing, speaking57:47 – How to connect with Patrice “Sway the Pro” 58:22 – Free training information 58:56 – Closing the Vault with Ash CashAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

They share insights into their remodeling business, discuss the emotional journey of home renovations, and highlight their deep ties to the Grayslake community. 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

TALK TO ME, TEXT ITA stranger unknots a scarf and hands it over, and that small act of generosity becomes our compass for a week that's anything but simple. We start with intention and assumption—how a gift can feel both disarming and profound—then follow that thread through a media controversy around the DC pipe bomber suspect, where timing, accuracy, and edited clips collide. If trust is built one detail at a time, what happens when a single, confident detail is wrong?From there, we face a harder scene: a mob storms a Los Angeles synagogue, masked faces and shouted threats turning “rhetoric” into fear. We talk plainly about free speech, intimidation, and the responsibility to protect houses of worship without slipping into partisan reflexes. Permits, enforcement, and consistent standards matter, and so does language that doesn't sand down harm. Safety isn't a talking point; it's a promise communities feel or don't every time they open a door.Then we pivot to the sky, where a JetBlue flight's sudden drop brings a rare claim to the foreground: could cosmic rays flip a bit in an aircraft's systems? We unpack soft-error upsets, avionics redundancy, and why unlikely causes deserve scrutiny without becoming easy headlines. It's a reminder that science, like journalism, demands evidence, nuance, and updates when new facts arrive.Threaded through all of it is a call for discernment: slow down before you share, ask what was known and when, and hold space for complexity. We close on something human—a favorite Christmas song—because culture and memory knit us back together when the world feels sharp. If you're here for clear thinking, empathy, and a few good questions, you're in the right place.If the conversation moves you, follow the show, share this episode with a friend, and leave a quick review with your favorite holiday song.

#EP322 Today on the Clean Power Hour, we dive into one of the biggest bottlenecks strangling the clean energy transition: the slow, messy world of zoning, permitting, and early-stage development. Our guests are Julia Wu and Anuj Saigal, co-founders of Spark AI, a Y Combinator-backed platform that has ingested and summarized nearly every zoning code, ordinance, and permitting pathway in the United States.Julia Wu is CEO and co-founder of Spark AI. She's a software engineer who cut her teeth at Microsoft, Apple (working on Siri), and Brex before founding Spark. Her background spans AI, natural language processing, and financial technology.Anuj Saigal is the co-founder of Spark AI and a veteran of the energy sector since 2010. He worked at the Department of Energy Loan Programs Office during the Obama administration, then moved through SunEdison, EVgo, and Natto (a video AI telematics company). Anuj has been a developer of utility-scale and distributed generation projects and understands the pain points of permitting and interconnection firsthand.Key Discussion Points:Spark AI uses large language models to aggregate zoning regulations, permitting requirements, local sentiment, and news articles for every jurisdiction in AmericaThree core use cases: early-stage greenfield site selection, monitoring projects in development for regulatory changes, and rapid acquisition due diligenceStandard Solar (Brookfield-owned) reduced acquisition diligence from months to one week, cutting time by 75%Dynamic Energy accelerated site screening while improving community sentiment risk assessmentUGE used Spark to assess a massive portfolio acquisition, determining which parcels had viable zoning pathsThe platform is LLM-neutral, easily swapping between OpenAI, Anthropic, DeepSeek, and other models to optimize for accuracy and speedUnlike off-the-shelf AI tools, Spark delivers consistency, accuracy, and citations developers need for trust-but-verify workflowsConnect with Anuj and Julia Julia Wu: https://www.linkedin.com/in/wu-julia/Anuj Saigal: https://www.linkedin.com/in/anujsaigal/Spark AI Website: https://www.sparkhq.ai/ Support the showConnect with Tim Clean Power Hour Clean Power Hour on YouTubeTim on TwitterTim on LinkedIn Email tim@cleanpowerhour.com Review Clean Power Hour on Apple PodcastsThe Clean Power Hour is produced by the Clean Power Consulting Group and created by Tim Montague.

Tahoe National Forest Christmas tree permits are now available. KVMR News Director Cláudio Mendonça finds out more!Owner of Grass Valley Pasty Company arrested and booked into the Nevada County jail Friday evening, according to the Grass Valley Police Department. The Nevada County elections office has officially certified the results of Nov. 4th's Statewide Special Election. Nevada County's 66% voter participation rate dwarfs the state's 50% average and ranks it among the top 5 counties for voter turnout in this special election.
Gabe Goodson, a National Land Realty agent in Alabama, breaks down exactly how to design, build, and manage small duck impoundments that actually hold birds. We cover ideal water body size (start around 2 acres), target depths (12–16"), clay-based soils (plus when bentonite makes sense), drawdown timing, pump/ice strategies, and moist-soil management that feeds ducks all season. Gabe also outlines realistic acreage needs (often 10–15 acres to support ~2 acres of water), common permitting paths (NRCS, local water-rights holders), and current land costs in his part of Alabama ($8k–$11k/acre) to help buyers budget the full project, not just the dirt. If you're a landowner, buyer, or waterfowl hunter looking to add dependable duck habitat, this is a step-by-step playbook from soil test to first flights. Episode takeaways: Start with soils & water: Target clay subsoil to hold water; avoid sand. Bentonite is a Plan B, not the plan. Right-sized water: About 2 acres of water at 12–16 inches depth shows well from the air and is ideal for dabblers. Acreage math: Plan on 10–15 total acres to comfortably support a ~2-acre impoundment and buffers/blinds. Moist-soil > monoculture: Staggered drawdowns (e.g., pull boards every couple weeks) promote diverse natural feed; rotate light disking every ~3 years. Plant strategy: Use natural seedbank where possible; supplement with Japanese/browntop millet when needed. Don't mirror neighbors, be different if they all flood corn. Budget with eyes open: In Gabe's market, raw land often runs $8k–$11k/acre; clay on-site saves real money on levees and sealing. Permits & neighbors: Start with NRCS and local water-rights owners; place blinds/shot angles to avoid 6:15 a.m. neighbor conflicts. Timeline: A well-planned impoundment can be built over one summer if the site is dry enough for dirt work. Common failure: Skipping soil tests and design, then discovering the “pond” won't hold water.

The world is coming to Qing's doorstep, but it has a whole other set of problems along its own frontiers... Less chronologically tied-down than most of our episodes, today we look at two of the Qing Empire's four major "inner frontier zones" and how they - in spite of often getting upstaged by the "flashier" elements of the 1800s & Qings clashes with the wider world, many have played an even larger part in its imperial decay than the British East India Co. could've ever hoped to achieve.

In a shocking and swift move, the historic East Wing of the White House has been completely demolished as of October 2025. After standing for 123 years and housing the White House Theater, this iconic structure was leveled over several days to make way for a new, privately funded grand ballroom planned by the Trump administration. This monumental change has ignited a firestorm of controversy. Preservationists are in an uproar, mourning the loss of a significant piece of American architectural history. Critics are demanding answers about the unusual haste of the demolition and questioning the President's true motives for replacing a historic wing with a private-use ballroom. Independent media has never been more important.
