Is running a localized roofing business more profitable than traditional real estate wholesaling? In this segment, Ivan details his experience launching a zero-permit roofing company in North Carolina, scaling strictly through automated Facebook lead generation and subcontracted labor. The hosts explore the inner workings of construction margins, supplier lines of credit, and the terrifying legal realities of contractor liability when a site goes wrong. Ivan reveals his strategic framework for building an automated, low-human-intervention service business model and using low-ticket gutter maintenance to capture high-margin roof replacements.

Interview with Frederick H. Earnest, President & CEO of Vista GoldOur previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/vista-gold-nysevgz-undervalued-investment-series-with-frederick-h-earnest-9735Recording date: 4th June 2026Vista Gold is advancing its Mt Todd gold project in Australia's Northern Territory through a disciplined three-pillar strategy focused on permitting, people, and engineering, as it moves toward a definitive investment decision. The project, one of the largest undeveloped gold assets in the country, holds 5 million ounces in reserves and 10 million ounces in total resources. Recent efforts have centered on resizing operations from 50,000 to 15,000 tons per day to improve capital efficiency, prompting modifications to existing permits rather than entirely new approvals.Permitting remains the most time-sensitive component. Key steps include updates to mining and operating permits, engagement with Aboriginal stakeholders, and preparation for federal environmental approval under the EPBC Act. The application is expected in late 2026, with a decision timeline of six to nine months.At the same time, Vista Gold is strengthening its leadership team, hiring senior executives across technical, approvals, and external relations functions. The company is also recruiting an Australia-based Managing Director to oversee local development and support financing efforts, including a potential listing on the Australian Securities Exchange.Engineering optimization is a major value driver. Metallurgical testing aims to refine processing efficiency, while a geotechnical study on the Batman Pit could significantly reduce waste movement. If successful, this adjustment may lower mining costs by up to $200 million or unlock additional gold reserves.Project economics are highly sensitive to gold prices. At $3,300 per ounce, Mt Todd carries a net present value of $2.2 billion and an internal rate of return near 45%. With gold trading above $4,500, the project's upside is substantially greater. Despite this, Vista Gold's market valuation remains well below its estimated asset value, positioning the project as a leveraged play on strong gold market conditions.View Vista Gold's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/vista-gold-corporationSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com
Today we're talking about a chart that may quietly define Portland's apartment market over the next several years and almost nobody outside the industry is paying attention to it yet.
Send us Fan MailPermits feel like “just paperwork”, until they quietly become the biggest barrier to building, investing, and even basic economic growth. We use Chile's fight with “permisologia” to show how bureaucracy creates delay, uncertainty, and political risk even when the stated goal is safety or environmental protection. • permits as transaction costs that quietly tax projects and entrepreneurship • why bureaucracy is not the same thing as government and why it crowds out market coordination • “permisologia” in Chile and how a one-stop shop becomes many counters • parallels to India's license raj and the logic of rent seeking choke points • Dominga as a case study in shifting rules, scandal, and investment held hostage • documented GDP and jobs costs from permitting delay and collapsed processing capacity • Chile's LMAS reform plan including deadlines, digitization, and sworn declarations with sanctions • Parkinson's Law, bike shedding, and why committees obsess over trivial items • listener letter on commune life and how transaction costs show up inside “one big firm” Links:What is "Permisología"? https://comentarista.emol.com/2294117/27242033/Emol-Social-Facts.htmlFramework Law (LMAS): https://www.bluefieldresearch.com/research/chile-takes-another-step-towards-mining-reform/Parkinson's Law and the "Law of Triviality": https://fs.blog/parkinsons-law/Twin Oaks Community: https://www.twinoaks.org/If you have questions or comments, or want to suggest a future topic, email the show at taitc.email@gmail.com !You can follow Mike Munger on Twitter at @mungowitz

Depredation permits are one of the most misunderstood tools in wildlife management — especially here in the Southeast. In this episode, we sit down with two wildlife biologists to break down what depredation permits really are, why they exist, and how they impact landowners, farmers, hunters, and conservation efforts across the region. We cover: • The science behind wildlife population control • Feral hogs, predators, deer, and nuisance species • How permits are issued and regulated • Common misconceptions surrounding wildlife management • The balance between conservation and protecting property • Ethical questions surrounding depredation practices • The future of wildlife management in the Southeast Whether you're a hunter, landowner, outdoorsman, conservationist, or just curious about how wildlife policy actually works, this conversation offers a rare behind-the-scenes look at the realities biologists face every day.

Are ADUs the next real estate gold rush… or just another permit-powered headache? Accessory Dwelling Units are moving from California trend to national real estate play. Gil Vaisman of Go ADU breaks down why homeowners are turning garages, basements, and backyards into rental income, family housing, and long-term property value. But this is not just about tiny houses with cute countertops. It is about zoning laws, contractor cash flow, city delays, bad deposits, fair pricing, and why building anything still feels like wrestling a fax machine with a clipboard.
In today's episode, I'm speaking with Shao (Pat) Tsen, Deputy Executive Director for Consumer Policy, Transportation, and Enforcement at the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC). We start with an overview of the CPUC and Pat's role in it. We also break down the split between the CPUC and DMV, clarifying who regulates what, and what companies actually need to do to launch an autonomous vehicle service in California, including the different permit types required along the way. Pat explains the CPUC's technology-agnostic approach to AV regulation, and why Tesla's current robotaxi deployment isn't considered an autonomous vehicle service under CPUC jurisdiction. We then dig into what it really takes to secure an AV permit, and whether the approval process is more subjective or objective in practice. The conversation also covers enforcement, reporting, and data collection requirements for AV companies, including new stoppage event reporting rules and what data is ultimately made public. We also get into how the CPUC approaches transparency, accountability, and the balance between innovation and public safety—and where its regulatory oversight starts to reach its limits.

Ep 603 - More Permits, Less Talk Guest: Todd Stone, Association for Mineral Exploration BC By Stuart McNish It's taken two years of fast-talking about fast-tracking mining permits in British Columbia to get started. On April 1, 2026, the BC government promised to approve exploration permits within 40 to 140 days, depending on project complexity. If the permit isn't processed on time, it will be escalated to the chief permitting officer, who must make a decision within 14 days. It's a part of Premier Eby's response to economic uncertainty caused by US President Donald Trump. Eby stated, “It is time to build again and we don't have a moment to waste.” He continued, “We cannot allow slow permitting processes and bureaucratic processes to delay what we know has to happen.” It's a good start, says Todd Stone, the President of the Association for Mineral Exploration BC. However, Stone says, “Only 14.8% of mining exploration claims were processed within 120 days over the past year.” According to the AME, “BC's new Mineral Claim Staking System has created a growing backlog.” As of March 25, 2026, the AME says only 1,400 applications had been approved, while another four thousand and four hundred applications are pending. We invited Todd Stone, the President and CEO of the Association of Mineral Exploration BC, to join us for a Conversation That Matters about our ability to seize the moment in mining.

Coppernico Metals CEO Ivan Bebek provides an update on the Sombrero Project in Peru, focusing on the Tipicancha target, where trenching/channel samples returned 22 meters of 0.6% copper and recent test pits suggest the mineralized footprint extends kilometers south within a large hydrothermal system. Ivan says Sombrero now has 7 drill-ready targets and a minimum 65-hole program over 18 months, with drilling to begin at Fierrazo, then Tipicancha, and later Nioc, while awaiting a major drill permit that could allow a couple hundred holes. He discusses strong interest for a strategic financing, macro tailwinds from a tight copper market and disruptions like Grasberg, ongoing community programs, and limited impact expected from Peruvian elections, concluding with standard mining-risk disclaimers. 00:00 Intro 00:19 Sombrero Project Update 01:07 Tipicancha Target Breakthrough 03:35 Drill Plan Seven Targets 04:34 Copper Macro Tailwinds 06:10 Permits and Timeline 06:36 Marketing and Share Price 09:17 Financing Strategy 11:32 Peru Politics and Community 14:22 Upcoming Catalysts Recap Sponsor: https://coppernicometals.com/ TSX:COPR; OTCQB: CPPMF; FSE: 9I3 Press release discussed: https://coppernicometals.com/coppernico-advances-multi-kilometre-tipicancha-copper-gold-target-ahead-of-initial-drilling/ Sign up for our free newsletter and receive interview transcripts, stock profiles and investment ideas: http://eepurl.com/cHxJ39 Sponsor Coppernico Metals pays MSE a United States dollar seven thousand per month coverage fee.

Mike and Trey Farley host the Luxury Outdoor Living Podcast and interview Ontario-based deck designer Robert Hodichak (“Deck Da Vinci”), who designs complex outdoor structures and co-runs 33 North Design with contractor John Lee while also designing for Decks & Docks. Robert explains how remote design is enabled by photos, tools like Hover, SketchUp, and Lumion, and stresses that homeowners should prioritize proper space planning, flow, and understanding use cases (gatherings, dining, kitchens, hot tubs) before aesthetics. He recommends NADRA as a resource for finding qualified deck builders and highlights common mistakes from unqualified contractors, including code and waterproofing failures.

March 27, 2026- In 2022, Democratic state policymakers rushed through a gun control law following the mass shooting in Buffalo. Now the state is having to walk back a part of the law requiring the disclosure of social media accounts to apply for a concealed carry permit. We discuss the problems with this defunct initiative with Adam Scott Wandt, an associate professor of public policy at the John Jay College of Criminal Justice.

Temporary housing is a major issue across Maui, especially for residents trying to rebuild after the Lahaina fires. Maui County has expanded how it handles building permits for temporary dwellings, and created a new way to calculate water usage. Starting January 1, 2026, anyone applying for a building permit or new or additional water service must use a new water-use calculation method that estimates daily demand instead of just counting plumbing fixtures, which will change how meter sizes and impact fees are determined. There's a third tool that Maui agricultural landowners can use the agricultural exemption under HRS 46-88 for qualifying non-dwelling farm buildings, with required details, to avoid a full building permit. Today's episode explains the trifecta: temporary building permits, the new water usage form, and agriculture exemptions.

Daniel Banyai became one of the most controversial figures in Vermont after building a firearms training facility that quickly drew national attention and legal battles with local authorities. In this episode of Locked In with Ian Bick, Banyai shares his side of the story, explaining how the training compound started, why it became the center of intense controversy, and how the situation eventually escalated into court fights, manhunts, and prison time. He talks about life on the run as one of Vermont's most wanted fugitives, what really happened behind the headlines, and what it was like navigating the legal system while fighting for his freedom. _____________________________________________ #ianbick #lockedinpodcast #mostwanted #fugitive #truecrime #prisontalk #crimeinterview #excon _____________________________________________ Hosted, Executive Produced & Edited By Ian Bick: https://www.instagram.com/ian_bick/?hl=en https://ianbick.com/ _____________________________________________ Shop Locked In Merch: http://www.ianbick.com/shop _____________________________________________ Timestamps: 00:00 Media Sensation & “Most Wanted” Story 01:00 Early Life & Firearms Training Background 03:30 War on Terror & Private Military Contracting 07:00 Why Real-World Gun Training Matters 12:00 Building a Controversial Vermont Gun Compound 17:00 Permits, Regulations & Early Success 21:00 Community Backlash & Rising Controversy 28:00 Court Battles, Lawsuits & Environmental Issues 37:00 Permit Revoked & Ordered to Tear It Down 45:00 Defiance, Contempt & Becoming a Fugitive 52:00 Life on the Run & Media Attention 01:00:00 Arrest, Police Encounters & Corruption Claims 01:10:00 Inside Vermont Prison — Isolation & Survival 01:18:00 Prison Life, Respect & Daily Reality 01:27:00 The Justice System & Ongoing Legal Battles 01:32:00 Life Lessons, Advocacy & Final Thoughts Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode, host Zach Urness talks with Oregon State Representative Ken Helm, D-Beaverton, about landmark legislation to protect Oregon wildlife and a host of other legislative issues. Helm talked about passage of a bill to rise $38 million for wildlife programs through an increase in the state's transient lodging tax. He also touched on other issues from the recently completed 2026 session including a bill meant to save Oregon's outdoor recreation industry, a bill to halt any sell-off of public lands and the purchase of Abiqua Falls for a new park. Helm also spoke about a controversial bill he authored that requires all non-motorized boats to get a Waterway Access Permit, which cost $20 annually. Previously, it was only required for boats 10 feet and shorter. Money from the program will pay for boat inspection stations to halt spread of invasive mussels, but the bill prompted significant backlash.
Detroit's recently elected mayor, Mary Sheffield, says the city is done making people wait on the city a month or more for basic home repairs and new construction permits. In this episode, I take you inside the new four‑point "housing playbook" to speed up renovations and build more single‑family homes across Detroit. You'll hear how same‑day permits are supposed to work, why the city is betting on pre‑approved home design templates, and what that could mean for the hundreds of thousands of homes Detroit has lost over the decades. If you're interested in the city as a contractor, developer, official, or most importantly, resident or someone who'd like to live here some day... you'll want to tune in.

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

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?

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
