Janvier 1985, on commence cette année particulière mondialement dominée par des Simple Minds et U2, avec un troisième album solo, déjà, de Phil Collins. Et si les deux premiers, qui se sont vendus par paquets de millions, étaient particuliers, à l'image de son groupe Genesis, il n'en va pas de même de celui-ci qui est, vraiment, un pur produit pop des années 80. Et ce n'est pas un hasard car après deux disques hantés par son divorce, la séparation avec ses enfants et la paradoxale solitude d'une star du rock, Phil est pris cette fois par l'envie de produire un disque sympa, positif, et donc, années 80 obligent, dansant. Et même s'il ne peut s'empêcher de composer l'une ou l'autre chanson romantique, tout est fait pour vous emmener sur la piste le samedi soir. C'est d'ailleurs la raison pour laquelle son visage apparaît cette fois coloré de rouge, comme pris dans un projecteur de boîte de nuit, le front perlant de sueur après une bonne séance d'immersion sur la piste. C'est vrai que teenager, le jeune Anglais était un fan de la Motown, ce label noir américain qui produisait des titres dansant et sympas. Il ne manque pas d'y faire référence sur l'un ou l'autre titre de ses deux premiers disques. Et ça tranchait vachement avec les autres, c'est vrai, on a été étonné d'entendre ces cuivres clinquer sur des rythmes ronds. Ça sonne, hein ? Pas étonnant, ce sont les Phenix Horns, la section qui joue pour Earth Wind & Fire, le plus grand groupe funk de l'époque. Et qui sait à peine qui est Genesis. Ainsi, alors que Phil Collins est à New York et que justement, EWF est de passage à Madison Square Garden, il se pointe à leur hôtel avant le concert. Et le gars à qui il demande dans le hall si les Phenix Horns sont là, se trouve être le frère de Maurice White, le leader de Earth Wind & Fire. Et ce type qui ignore qui est Phil Collins, In the Air Tonight n'est pas encore sorti, le prend pour un dealer, alors il donne l'interdiction d'embarquer quiconque n'est pas du groupe. Mais allez savoir comment Collins passe entre les mailles du filet, il monte dans la limousine sous l'insistance des cuivres mais, une fois arrivé à Madsion Square Garden, est refoulé par la sécu et se retrouve bien seul. Imaginez le chanteur de Genesis interdit d'entrer dans une salle qu'il remplit habituellement. Heureusement que des régisseurs le reconnaissent et l'invitent dans leur cantine. Hé les mecs, j'le crois pas, vous avez viré Phil Collins des coulisses ! Qui ? Le chanteur de Genesis. Merde ! C'est ce soir que les gars des Phenix vont parler de Collins à Philip Bailey, la seconde voix d'Earth Wind & Fire, et de la qualité de son travail en studio. Le succès américain des deux premiers albums de Collins fera le reste quand, Earth Wind & Fire battant de l'aile, Bailey voudra voler des siennes, comme Michael Jackson. Une chanson pliée en un jour et demi, et hop ! Ça se passait comme ça avec Phil dans les années 80.

Anita a rejoint Daphni en juin dernier. Elle a toujours travaillé dans la finance et l'innovation. Depuis 10 ans, elle s'est focalisée sur les sujets d'innovation et de finance à impact, sous différentes formes. Elle a d'abord participé au lancement de Phenix une start-up de l'économie circulaire, spécialisée dans la revalorisation des invendus dans les domaines alimentaires et non alimentaires. Elle a ensuite rejoint Investir&+ un fonds d'impact investing, à un moment où l'impact n'était pas encore un mot à la mode. Le fonds investit uniquement dans des start-up ayant un impact environnemental ou social. Petit rappel : l'investissement à impact consiste à mettre de l'argent dans des boites ayant un modèle économique et qui visent la rentabilité, mais cherchent à apporter une réponse positive à un enjeu social ou environnemental, peu ou mal traité par les entreprises traditionnelles. Elles placent la recherche de l'impact au cœur de leur développement économique. Anita a ensuite rejoint l'univers académique en prenant la direction de l'innovation et de l'entrepreneuriat de CentraleSupélec. C'est là qu'elle a commencé à se frotter à l'innovation deeptech. Sa mission : accélérer la capacité à faire sortir des laboratoires des innovations de marché. Elle poursuit sa mission au sein de la société de gestion Daphni où elle a notamment participé à la fondation de Time4, une initiative rassemblant HEC Paris, Moussa Camara avec son association Les Déterminé, Live for Good de Jean-Philippe Courtois et le fonds Daphni. Son but : changer les pratiques dans le monde du venture pour aller chercher des entrepreneuses et entrepreneurs qui ont un background différent. Elle nous détaille cette initiative très revigorante et revient sur l'évolution de l'investissement à impact dans la French Tech. Hébergé par Acast.

Según cálculos de la aplicación de reciclaje de los alimentos no vendidos Too Good To Go, el desperdicio de alimentos comestibles equivale a una comida por semana por persona. En varios países industrializados, el desperdicio de alimentos sigue siendo una realidad pese a las leyes para evitarlo. Desde 2016, por ejemplo, los supermercados franceses tienen prohibido tirar o quemar los alimentos que quedaron sin vender. Como consecuencia de esta ley, las donaciones de supermercados a organizaciones caritativas han incrementado un 28% entre 2015 y 2017.Mientras los supermercados franceses van por buen camino para reducir el desperdicio de alimentos, las cifras aún siguen siendo altas a nivel de los consumidores. Se estima que cada francés tira cada año 25 kilos de comida comestible por año, según cálculos de la aplicación Too Good To Go.Incluyendo los alimentos no comestibles, los franceses generan anualmente en promedio 129 kilos de desechos alimentarios, según cifras de Eurostats. Una cifra cercana a la media de lo que se observa en la Unión Europea.Aplicaciones como Phenix o Too Good to Go surgieron precisamente para facilitar la venta de productos a puntos de caducar. y así evitar el despilfarro.La aplicación danesa Tood Good To Go por ejemplo ha ido ganando cada vez más adeptos en Europa. Permite a un usuario localizar los restaurantes, panadería o tienda de frutas y verduras que quieren deshacerse de productos a punto de caducar, a precio reducido.Amina Mohamed Abdou, directora adjunta de este supermercado parisino coloca cada día canastas de productos a punto de caducar a disposición de los consumidores, a través de esta aplicación."Retiramos de los estantes los alimentos que caducan hoy o al día siguiente porque sabemos que no los vamos a vender. Preparamos canastas con frutas, verduras, yogures, jugos. Nosotros no fijamos el precio, lo hace la aplicación. Una canasta puede llegar a costar 3 o 4 euros para mercancías que valen más de 10 euros. Me parece fantástico, porque así evitamos tirar alimentos", contó a Radio Francia Internacional.Ismaël, un estudiante parisino es un usuario frecuente de esta aplicación antidesplifarro alimenticio desde 2021. Recientemente adquirió una porción de suhis por unos 5 euros, por debajo del precio de venta en un restaurante.“Utilizo esta aplicación porque me preocupa el desperdicio de alimentos. La aplicación responde a este problema. Y también porque soy estudiante, entonces me permite ahorrar dinero”, explicó el estudiante.“Uso esta app de forma muy espontánea: al último minuto al final del día. A veces para recoger frutas y verduras y cocinar a partir de lo que sobró. O productos de panadería. Puede ser repostería que se tiene que consumir rápido, o panes que se conservan durante más tiempo. Y utilicé la aplicación en Italia cuando estaba de intercambio”, detalló a RFI.La aplicación reivindica 100 millones de usuarios en 19 países, y afirma haber evitado tirar 350 millones de comidas.Francia se ha fijado el objetivo de reducir a la mitad el desperdicio de alimentos de entre 2015 y 2025. Y la Unión Europea quiere reducirlo en un 30% de aquí a 2030.Entrevistas:Ismael, estudiante parisino y usuario de la aplicación Too good to gooAmina Mohamed Abdou, directora adjunta de un supermercado Carrefour City en París, entrevistada por Stefanie Schuller

We are talking about investing today. It's a big one; there are a lot of changes coming in the market and investing might just be something you need to look at.Be sure to check out Neal Bawa, he's giving away the answers to the top 10 irrational questions that investors ask and how you should answer them. ResourceCheck Out Neal's WebsiteReal Estate Marketing DudeThe Listing Advocate (Earn more listings!)REMD on YouTubeREMD on InstagramTranscript:So how do you attract new business? You constantly don't have to chase it. Hi, I'm Mike Webmaster Real Estate Marketing, and this podcast is all about building a strong personal brand. People have come to know like trust and most importantly, refer. But remember, it is not their job to remember what you do for a living. It's your job to remind them.00:01:24:15 - 00:01:36:16UnknownLet's get started.00:01:36:18 - 00:01:52:14UnknownWhat's up? Ladies and gentlemen, welcome. Another episode of the Real Estate Marketing Dude podcast. Folks, we're here with a rock star, a legend. You might have seen his name all over the damn place. This guy knows what he's talking about when it comes to investing in real estate. As a matter of fact, he already has invested and runs and maintains $1,000,000,000 fund.00:01:52:20 - 00:02:11:08UnknownSo I'm going to get right to it today because I have a lot of questions for him, mainly around which way the market is going. The reality is a lot of people listen to show are in real estate or in lending. 90% of y'all have never even seen a market that shifted in this capacity, in this way. And a lot of people don't know necessarily how to navigate that either.00:02:11:13 - 00:02:29:23UnknownBut where there's doom, there's gold, not gloom, because when you know how to shift and play, navigate these different types of waters and you listen to someone like who I'm going to introduce to you in just a minute, pay close attention and take notes, because when the market shift is often when people get really rich, I mean, I think this is.00:02:30:00 - 00:02:44:24UnknownWould you agree with that, Neal? I mean, that's why a lot of these that's is where a lot of the opportunity comes in. So let me go ahead and introduce our guests and let me give you a proper introduction. And I'm going to line up this because we got all kinds of questions for you today, right, Neal? Neal, want you to write himself, Who are you?00:02:44:24 - 00:03:06:19UnknownWhere are you from? What do you do? Let's go. I'm a technologist. I'm a data scientist. I come from the Silicon Valley culture, and it's my job to disrupt real estate, disrupt real estate development. We publish massive amounts of data for free on 323 metros in the United States, and we rank them for real estate investing. We give that data away for free.00:03:06:21 - 00:03:37:00UnknownThere's no subscription, there's no upsell. And as a result, we've managed to gather a bunch of nerdy, geeky, you know, folks, mostly in our doctors and engineers and technologists who believe that real estate investing should be data driven. And those folks have given us $300 million of their money, about a thousand investors to both buy and build various different kinds of real estate in the United States were hot on apartment student housing built around.00:03:37:02 - 00:03:54:24UnknownBut we also do self-storage and industrial a lot of it. I we've had a couple people on the show that the self-storage space and I my mind was blown at some of those just different conversations. But let's start with the data because I agree, data is where everything goes down. It never lies, the numbers never lie. And in general, I know you do a lot multifamily.00:03:54:24 - 00:04:22:12UnknownYou're doing a lot of stuff into the commercial market. Let's stick to residential just for this question and I'll go to the next one. But from residential, what does the data say? Because what I'm seeing, I subscribe to the capacity letter. I like reading their posts a lot right? And I'm seeing high loan defaults on cars. I'm seeing hi, I'm seeing in our data we're seeing a ton of stretched out credit card debt, missed payments just starting to happen.00:04:22:14 - 00:04:41:08UnknownA lot of people will be like, Hey, is this going to be 2007, 2008 all over again? And what do you say to the answer? What's the data say collectively speaking to then and now? Let's first do the economic piece and then I'll talk about real estate. Right? So the economics says that we are definitely on track for a soft landing.00:04:41:10 - 00:04:58:11UnknownI don't feel like this is 2007. I think it's fashionable to say it's like 2007 because you always want to be the person that said, Hey, five years ago, I told you so, I'm not going to go there. So I'm I'm looking at the data and I am absolutely amazed at the unemployment level. So we're at 3.9% unemployment.00:04:58:15 - 00:05:18:15UnknownWe produced 322,000 jobs in February. This is being recorded in March of 2024. And when I'm looking at that unemployment rate and I'm looking at the fact that inflation's come from 9% down to 3.1%, that shows us that the Fed has done its job and everyone likes to beat the Fed. And I'm actually no different. I love to beat the Fed.00:05:18:15 - 00:05:37:17UnknownBut in this case, I have to grudgingly admit that the Fed has actually been right. The Wall Street thought that we would have seven cuts this year. Then they thought we had six, then they thought we had four. And now they think that we have three. Yes. What, 18 months ago, the Fed was saying we would have three job cuts, two or three cuts into 2024.00:05:37:21 - 00:05:54:24UnknownSo for the moment, one has to grudgingly admit that the Fed has been right. The economy is moving towards a soft landing. A soft landing is not fun. Just the you know what the definition of a soft landing is. Yeah. Can you define that? Or a soft landing means that the growth of the U.S. falls to almost zero.00:05:55:05 - 00:06:11:16UnknownAnd that's going to happen in Q3. That's going to happen in Q4 of this year. So the second half of this year is going to feel really shitty. It's going to be like a recession. You're right. Now you're seeing if you go back and look at the last three months job growth, it's been near 200,000, 300,000. What you're going to start seeing that job growth fall to 100,000, 50,000, 80,000.00:06:11:16 - 00:06:32:15UnknownThose are very low numbers for a country of 330 million people. So when you're only growing 100,000 jobs, the economy is basically at a stall state and you're going to see that stalling happening in the second half of the year. And that's what the Fed wants, because as you get close to a stall date, demand dries up. If there's no new jobs being created or very few new jobs being created, who's going to create the demand?00:06:32:15 - 00:06:48:10UnknownWe're going to spend the money. Well, if you don't spend the money, what's going to create inflation? Because there's no competition for new goods when there's no competition, that brings inflation into the tooth. And that's the Fed's job to bring the inflation down into the twos, two and a half percent range so they can achieve their soft landing.00:06:48:15 - 00:07:08:16UnknownSo we're going to see some fairly shitty conditions in the second half of this year. But I don't expect the economy to go into a recession, which is negative growth, right? So the rest of the world is ahead of us. So at this point, Germany, the UK, Japan have already gone into recession. China is slowing, India being the bright spot of the world right now at 8% GDP.00:07:08:18 - 00:07:30:13UnknownBut when I'm looking at it, all of the other countries are ahead of us. The United States is actually the the primary shining spot with our stock market staying high and our job growth staying high. But that cannot last because people are like, Yeah, but the Fed is an increasing rate anymore. Imagine this when you've raised interest rates by more than 500 basis points or 5%.00:07:30:15 - 00:07:55:09UnknownImagine a £200 weight sitting on the chest of the economy. Well, that £200 weight has been sitting on the chest of the economy for a year and a half, and it was its heaviest for the last seven months. The Fed hasn't raised interest rates for the last seven months, but you still got a £200 set. You know, it weight sitting on the chest of the economy and that's dragging and slowing things down and it's slowing it down just right.00:07:55:11 - 00:08:20:18UnknownSo speaking of rates, what are we looking at? You just mentioned it. You know, we're supposed to have more cuts within it. We did. Or you know what? People don't really know what to expect. And I'm looking at the Fed chocolate and that shows three quarter point cuts, one in June, one in September, one in November. And I think that we're going to get those three rate cuts this year and then we will have an accelerating rate cut next year.00:08:20:18 - 00:08:40:22UnknownOnce once inflation's down to two and a half percent, then the Fed can accelerate because that's not interested in keeping rates this high. There's this nonsensical, very social media driven myth that the Fed, the rates are going to stay high. Why would you rates stay high? Have you seen how rapidly world growth is slowing? Population growth is slowing, the world is getting older.00:08:41:00 - 00:08:56:19UnknownAnd as the world gets older, it consumes less. People who are 65 years old consume a lot less than people who are 45 years old. So when you look at demographic trends, when you look at large scale trends in the world, all of these trends are leading towards deflation, none of them leading towards inflation. Perfect example, Japan, right?00:08:56:21 - 00:09:18:21UnknownTheir stock market last week hit the same number that it hit last in 1989, which meant that basically for the last 25 years. Right. It wasn't just 35 years. Their stock market has been down from where they are. Why? Because their population is getting older, right? They have a very, very low birth rate. Their population is falling. And so Japan's state a great country in those 35 years.00:09:18:21 - 00:09:36:09UnknownThere's still a magnificent economy, still number three in the world. So they they haven't crashed and burned, even though their debt to GDP is double that of the United States, double that of the U.S. They haven't crashed and burned, but it has meant deflation in their economy. They constantly have to create inflation in their economy to keep things going.00:09:36:13 - 00:09:57:19UnknownAnd so when people actually come in and say inflation will stay high, there's no data behind that at all. Interesting. This is good stuff, Neil. Very good stuff. I'm sure I know what our listeners are doing in two different directions, right? So like the Ukraine war was pulling in the direction of energy being expensive, which means inflation up.00:09:57:21 - 00:10:21:03UnknownBut the rest of the world, when you look at the world, maybe with the exception of the African continent, everywhere, birth rates are falling everywhere, growth is slowing everywhere, people are getting over everywhere, consumption trends are going downwards. Inflation is simply a factor of demand. And if in 90% of the world growth is slowing, demand is slowing, how do you create inflation?00:10:21:05 - 00:10:40:09UnknownI can predict that in two or three years we'll be trying to create inflation. And finally, I want to share a data point with you. Like forget forget what happened in the last 24 months, because we all know that this inflation was created by a break in supply chains and the ridiculous $4 trillion that be injected into the economy like idiots.00:10:40:11 - 00:10:58:17UnknownRight. If you hadn't done those two things, let's look at what happened to inflation ten years before that. All of the things that people scream and yell about were happening for those ten years. But inflation in the United States was under one and a half percent for the ten years before COVID. Right? So all the bad stuff that we're talking about, money printing, it was happening, right?00:10:58:21 - 00:11:23:24UnknownWe were doing quantitative easing. It was happening. Inflation was at one and a half percent. The Fed was struggling to get it up to 2%. Right. So look at the Fed struggle. Study those things, go out and stare at charts on the St Louis Fed website to understand that in the real world, right, economists have challenges and their biggest challenges are not supply chains because those are obviously fixed.00:11:24:01 - 00:11:46:12UnknownThose challenges are that we are not producing enough babies. That's a problem. How do you fix that problem when the world is 100 million baby short every year? Wow. So this is a big picture. And you opened up saying I'm a data scientist, which is interesting. I mean, anyone who should actually come on like that is like I'm an investor, I'm a data scientist, and I love that approach.00:11:46:17 - 00:12:08:09UnknownSo let's now I think we've got a good picture of the economy here. We got some good worldview here. What's going on overall or saying here, guys? So you're tracking at home. Consumption is down and with consumption down, demand's down with demand down, then, you know, this is how it all eases out into inflation. Now, in terms of real estate and investing and or whatnot, what are you guys doing right now?00:12:08:09 - 00:12:25:14UnknownWhat do you see based on your data, your brain? I don't know what the hell is going on up there, but there's all kinds of gears turning right here. What's happening? What are you where do you see the opportunity? Where are you going? Where are you advising your investors to go? So for the for the moment, the single family and multifamily markets have diverged.00:12:25:19 - 00:12:49:23UnknownSo single family and multifamily are the two largest asset classes in real estate. Nothing else comes close in terms of large after classes, right? They've diverged. And it's an interesting diversion since interest rates started rising, Single family homes in the United States are up about 3 to 4%. So they've gone up, right? So it's been slow growth because we are talking about a two year time frame where, you know, prices have gone up by two or 3%.00:12:49:23 - 00:13:11:15UnknownSo you're talking nationwide. You're doing nationwide. Nationwide, Right. So it varies. You know, the hot boom towns are down a few percent. And and the Midwest markets and the Northeast markets are up more like 6%. But the overall average in the U.S. is about 2% up in the same exact time frame. Multifamily prices in the United States are down 20 to 25%, once again varying by metros.00:13:11:15 - 00:13:38:03UnknownSome metros are down ten, 12%, other metros are down 25, 26, 27%, especially the Boomtown metros like Phenix, which have oversupply. But bottom line is normally single family and multi-family tracked together because they're dependent on the same sort of things, but because single family has something that multifamily doesn't have the lock in effect. Remember, what happened is with multifamily, we all were tied to addicted to bridge lending.00:13:38:03 - 00:13:59:00UnknownSo we were basically taking floating rates, whereas with single family, 99% of all homes that were purchased in the last four years were purchased with ultra low interest rate. 30 year fixed loans. That lock in effects means that 20 to 25 million American families like me, I have a 1.75% mortgage. If I go somewhere, my mortgage jumps from 6000 a month to 15,000 a month.00:13:59:00 - 00:14:18:01UnknownRight? I can't go. I'm locked in. You're locked. 25 million families are locked in. That's keeping supply ridiculously low. And that's put a floor under single family prices. They're not going up, but they're not going down. And they probably won't go down for a number of years, especially now that interest rates slowly over the next year will start to come down.00:14:18:06 - 00:14:35:07UnknownSo as they start coming down, affordability will actually improve on the single family side. And I think that the single family market geniuses here's my prediction for the next five years, just stays where it is. It's going to stay where it is. It might go up 1%, but it won't go up as fast as inflation application. 3%. Single family might go up 1%, 2%.00:14:35:12 - 00:14:53:08UnknownWhy? Because it was supposed to drop like multifamily. Multi-family dropped 25%. Single family didn't drop because of the lock in effect. And you take 100% for the lock in effect for at this point in time, it sort of it's hit a plateau. It stays near that plateau. It might go up a little bit, might go down a little, but it stays at that plateau.00:14:53:08 - 00:15:14:24UnknownSo over five years, the lock in problem is stalled because over five years we'll have maybe 15% inflation. If home prices stay the same. Well, in a way, they're coming down 15%, right, because they're supposed to go up with inflation and they didn't. So if if the price of a single family home in the United States five years from now is the same as it is today, well, then we fixed the issue of them being too expensive because of inflation.00:15:14:24 - 00:15:34:13UnknownThey should have gone up 15%. They didn't. Well, we've sort of fixed that issue, kind of fixed it. I'm in. Right. I'm in Southern California and I got here in 2017 and I literally seen the prices go up later because I watch this all time. I'm on Zillow. Like it's like, what's going on? You're going on your 40% all day in San Diego area and like a 40.00:15:34:13 - 00:15:57:20UnknownAnd it's hitting affordability ceilings, right? Yeah, big question. But they can't go up any further because the average mortgage in the U.S. has gone up 112% in the last three years. So once again, from the start of COVID to when we're recording this, the average mortgage in the United States is up 112%. The average salaries in the U.S. are up 19.7%.00:15:57:22 - 00:16:16:15UnknownHow do you reconcile those two things? How do you because the banks won't give you a loan. The banks lenders give you a loan based on your income. So your incomes up 19.7%, but your mortgage is up 112. Wouldn't that put a ceiling on what you can pay? And we're seeing that ceiling across the United States, not just in California.00:16:16:15 - 00:16:34:17UnknownWe're seeing it everywhere. Right. And and California is a market known for busting through those ceilings. And it's still just you know, it's like I can't get through. There's nowhere to go. Like literally and even I'm even seeing the opposite effect to even the people that have rented their houses are sort of like reconsidering, like, why would I sell this?00:16:34:17 - 00:17:06:18UnknownI have like a 1% rate, you know, why would I ever sell this? And yeah, there's no inventory. But do you think that some of these high areas like Southern California, Phenix, Austin, some of the areas are just really, really boom, Do you see a correction in these areas in residential? Then how about for multifamily? So the you know, when we look at, you know, and I've been researching this for single family, when we look at the risk in the marketplace, the risk is actually very tightly contained within certain very expensive markets.00:17:06:18 - 00:17:23:17UnknownThere's a number of them, three of them in California. And then you're looking at markets that are very expensive for their income, like Austin. Austin might be saved if its incomes shoot up all of a sudden because there's a lot of demand there. You know, you know, the population growth, home price growth, income growth in Austin is much higher than California.00:17:23:17 - 00:17:43:24UnknownSo maybe they work their way through that, maybe they muddle through it or they see a decline. But if the decline happens even in California, I do not expect it to be double digit. So in the San Francisco Bay area where I live, this is the most expensive metro in the United States. We are seeing a decline. But the decline, interestingly enough, and I would not have predicted this is happening mostly in the $2 million home.00:17:43:24 - 00:18:08:20UnknownSo what what in the Bay Area, million dollar home prices are still selling like hotcakes. I live in Fremont, California, and so I looked at three homes that were sold in the last 30 days. They were all above a million, 1.31.4, 1.6. And they had lots and lots of offers. But the homes that are above that $2 million range in the Bay Area and maybe above $1,000,000 in other metros in the United States, they are the ones that are likely to suffer be simply because people can't afford them.00:18:08:20 - 00:18:30:23UnknownThey can get a loan for those. Yeah, it's the same situation here. You buy you could buy the same house or rent the same house for the difference per month. It's probably like $8,000. Know, like I said, it's a shocking number, so it's crazy. I want to share that with you. The difference between the average rent and the average mortgage payment in the United States is the highest in history.00:18:31:04 - 00:18:53:05UnknownThere's a lot of people saying, well, the rental market is not going to do well. Right. How do you reconcile this statement? The difference between the average mortgage and the average rent is the highest in history. Three, it crushes 2007. How can this not be a good time to rent? How can this not be a good time to buy a land, be a landlord when that difference is the highest in history?00:18:53:11 - 00:19:11:02UnknownWe then in the last three years the United States way. That's a very good way to put it. You might say that one more time, just so people can hear that the difference between the average a mortgage payment, including especially if you include taxes and insurance and the average rent for the same property for the same exact property if you rent it.00:19:11:04 - 00:19:39:13UnknownThat gap is the highest in history by far. That gas gap is now over 1200 dollars a month nationwide, probably for a $6,000 in California. Right. So obviously, California is the worst case example of all of these things. And so in New York, yeah, nationwide, 1200 dollars is a huge number. The gap between rents and mortgages has typically been 200, $300.00:19:39:15 - 00:20:02:06UnknownIf you look at history, five years, ten years, 20 years, that gap between renting and buying is a couple hundred dollars. Now it's over $1,000. And that's an insane growth. And so that number will adjust over time as rates come down. Some mortgages will come down a little bit because of that, but rents will also go up. So a combination of two things will fix that rents going upwards and mortgages going downwards.00:20:02:06 - 00:20:22:23UnknownI'm not talking about home prices going down, I'm talking about mortgages going down because interest rates will come down over time. Yep. What about investing wise? What would you touch? I see. And then here's a question I have for you, because I didn't know these numbers, so I want to repeat some. You just said the single family home appreciation last 12 months has gone up 2 to 3%.00:20:22:23 - 00:20:45:17UnknownVery modest rate. But at the same time, the multifamily properties have depreciated 20 to 25%. And I remember just a couple of years ago, there's all kinds of gurus buying by this by this syndicate Syndicate syndicate, right. And how many people what's the exposure? How many people even call with their pants down? Because that's a big like if I'm a syndicator and I got into that bubble, how big is that issue?00:20:45:17 - 00:21:04:23UnknownAnd there must be a huge opportunity to go buy these assets that were born too high. It may not seem that correctly, or there are 3000 assets in the United States that are distressed at an average value of 30 million. The total distressed in multifamily is $90 billion. 3000 multiplied by 30 million is $90 billion of total distress.00:21:04:23 - 00:21:23:23UnknownNow, these properties are not worthless. This is in 2008, so they're probably worth about 65 to $0.70 on the dollar. And what were these purchased like? What do you see in this bubble from these properties that were purchased in the second half of 2020 and the first half of 2021 in the second half of 2021. So basically purchased over an 18 month time frame.00:21:24:03 - 00:21:53:17UnknownWhy are they in distress? Because they all have bridge loans right now. There's a huge number. I mean, multifamily is a very large market and there's no distress in the overall market. But in the syndication portion of the multifamily market, at least ten, 20% of all properties are distressed. And folks just see understand what what he's seeing. Just off your filings and alike as well as your listeners when you're in your treadmill or you're working out or whatnot, it's that when that bridge loan hits, they're locked into a low rate and that's going to adjust to whatever it's going to adjust or has already adjusted or is already in.00:21:53:17 - 00:22:10:15UnknownAnd now that that property that was cash flow is no longer cash flow. It's it's it's a right it's negative cash flowing and it's cost money. Therefore the value is not there. That's what we're talking about and that's driving the prices down 25%. So if you asked me, you know, what do I invest in? Well, I invest in two things.00:22:10:16 - 00:22:33:06UnknownNumber one, right now, I'm investing, I'm buying multifamily. Two years ago, I was on every podcast in America telling people, this is insanity. Do not buy, I'm not buying. I'm pencils down. My team hasn't underwritten anything in months. Nobody was listening. I mean, I was being made fun of on podcast like as the the the Dr. Roubini the gloom doom man of multifamily.00:22:33:06 - 00:22:55:14UnknownWell, you know, we saw how that worked out. So right now I don't have ten properties that are upside down. I want write I still bought some properties and so i1i dealt with that and I raised private equity too to make that property get a fixed loan. And so now it's cash flowing. So I fix that problem, but I don't have to deal with ten or 20 like many of my syndicate households have to deal with it.00:22:55:14 - 00:23:11:04UnknownYou saw it coming in to do it. Let them go. Yeah. To me, it just made it made sense to stay away from the frenzy that we saw two years ago. Right. So I was very lucky to have stayed away from it. Bottom line is, today I am on the hunt. Today, my investors are saying, Yeah, you saw this coming.00:23:11:04 - 00:23:31:11UnknownGood for you. And you send us all these emails and we didn't listen to you invested with seven different syndicators. Now we have six cashflow. And so we're coming back to you and now you're on the prowl. So right now I'm in predator mode. I'm going out making offers on dozens or hundreds of properties. I'm focused on the ones that have as zoomable low rate loans.00:23:31:11 - 00:23:53:10UnknownFor example, we just bought a property that had a 4% fixed rate because, you know, the 25% discount is only there because of one reason interest rate. So if I can get the discount but not have to deal with the interest rate because I'm buying an asset with a fixed loan, how can that be bad? That has to be an incredible deal.00:23:53:10 - 00:24:14:23UnknownSo I'm incentivizing my team to find assets that have a zoomable loans with a minimum of three years left on them and that are fixed loans. So I'm not buying $1,000,000 rate cap, so I'm not wasting money on these stupid rate caps. That is number one opportunity. And here's the second opportunity. And this is really for people that want to invest in, you know, maybe maybe don't want to invest with people like me.00:24:14:23 - 00:24:42:13UnknownThey want to invest themselves. People like the people who two years, three years ago paid too much for the properties. Those people are now having to recapitalize. Meaning put more equity into the properties to take them from a 10% bridge loan to a 5% fixed loan or five and a half percent fixed line. Right. Well, the best deal today, me as an investor, as a personal investor, is to put money into that.00:24:42:13 - 00:25:09:17UnknownIt's called equity. Rev equity is ahead of the common equity. So the property has six, seven, eight, $9 million of common equity. And if you do your underwriting right and this is a good property, so the property is good, it has done well, it's caught it the wrong time. Those properties putting money in at equity and making 15%, 14%, I will do that all frickin day long because that is that is like lending and lending is supposed to be lower risk than than investing in equity.00:25:09:17 - 00:25:32:03UnknownWell, equity is kind of like lending. So right now I have a three person team. I'm actually going to read this from my calendar on the left here, gather equity opportunities. 330 to 4:30 p.m. today my team will come in and present equity opportunity opportunities not for my company, for Neil Bawa, who invested like it. You're smart, dude, man.00:25:32:08 - 00:25:56:23UnknownThis guy is smart, sharp and follow him in really good stuff. This is, this is really interesting. So I didn't the thing I'm most shocked about is the multifamily. I'm not in that space. I don't know it very well. I just see what I see on social media in DC. Those numbers are insane. 25% is the largest discount we've seen in multifamily since the eighties.00:25:57:03 - 00:26:23:05UnknownAnd what's amazing is we're seeing this discount with an economy under 4% unemployment. So it's just the rates. I mean, I expect multifamily to bounce back very strongly. I listen to Blackstone today, so Blackstone's head of CRT, this is a company with a $100 billion asset. Yeah, there. Sit here. What are the words out of his mouth? He said this is a generational opportunity to buy commercial real estate.00:26:23:07 - 00:26:45:03UnknownIt's only cheap because of one reason, and that reason goes away in the next two years, he says. We see it as a general up or a generational opportunity. We were not engaged two years ago when everything was expensive. Now we think everything's cheap and so we're buying a lot. He's also doing things like they're also buying out office because office is going to go down 40 or 50%, down about 20 to 30%.00:26:45:03 - 00:27:03:17UnknownPlaces like New York, it's down more places like San Francisco is down more, though Blackstone saying I will happily buy offices at, you know, 40 to 50% off and I will hold them for a significant amount of time and then do adaptive reuse. Maybe we turn some of it into apartments or condos or things like that. Yeah, but we want to buy at a low basis.00:27:03:17 - 00:27:30:14UnknownSo I am very, very excited by the fact that investors are extremely disappointed right now. They're very fearful. The last two years have been bad for them. They've had cash calls. I love it. I love it because they're my competition. I don't want competition. I want to be able to make 50 lowball offers and have somebody accept a 30, 30% under market offer from me, which is what's happening all the time these days.00:27:30:16 - 00:27:47:05UnknownSo I love the fact that all of the investors out there are terrified. That's, you know, I read a lot of things. One that stands out, they say that is the quote Buffett said he zigzag, I zag. And they zig and honestly, everyone who's doing the opposite of what everyone else is doing are usually the ones that are always the ones winning.00:27:47:07 - 00:28:15:10UnknownNot at the current time. People probably don't think you're crazy like they did the first time, but obviously you've proven them wrong. Well, what I what I do is I mean, I have a group of about 25,000 people that are following me for data. So what I do is I release data every week or every month that gives them confidence that I'm following data, I'm following systems, I'm looking at the last five years, ten years, 50 years, and I'm understanding market trends.00:28:15:12 - 00:28:37:13UnknownThen when I bring out a project, they are still hesitant, they are shell shocked with what happened in the last 24 months, especially with multifamily. But eventually they realized this guy is taking advantage of it and so enough of them give me money. We just bought a $30 million property with a ZOOMABLE loan. It's down about 25 35% from, you know, peak value.00:28:37:15 - 00:28:59:19UnknownAnd I'm not saying that it's it's 35% discount. It's probably 15% discount, right. Because some of those values were too high anyway, that those were pretty crazy values there. You know, I'm not saying my property's 35% off of its value. It's probably 15% off of its value. But the beauty of it is there's no downside. It's already a locked in loan for five years.00:28:59:19 - 00:29:15:07UnknownIt's already interest only. I don't have a rate captive by. So I'm just getting a discount because the market's back. Right. And I love that. And we we did this raise and we thought this is going to be a really difficult race because it was $9.8 million. We had about 90 days to close and it just flew past.00:29:15:09 - 00:29:35:19UnknownPeople understand that this is a good time to be a predator. This is, you know, back then I was really big in those seven or eight short sale days in the single family market. And everything that you're saying right now is just feels like it's what's happening in the commercial in that it's happened to commercial like that whole wave because I, I in hindsight I was too young man.00:29:35:19 - 00:29:53:01UnknownI was like 27, you know, making too much money didn't even have the discipline to invest or even think about the future. No kids, you know, I was buying a property every month in 2008 and my family, when they realized what I was doing, they banned me from all of the family parties because they thought I would infect the other men in the family.00:29:53:06 - 00:30:09:07UnknownSo for 18 months, I was not allowed to go to a family party. You know, I live in a family with a big Don who's kind of the big, big shot. You know, he helped us come here from India. And so he was he was the guy that everyone kowtow to, including me, you know, because he made my life.00:30:09:09 - 00:30:27:03UnknownAnd he said, no, you're not showing up here because you're infecting these people with these stupid ideas. And by the time I had 18 of those properties in my pocket, everyone was listening. Man. The only way to do something to get people to pay attention to you folks, and this goes for you to listening is that Prove it and prove it with action.00:30:27:03 - 00:30:49:23UnknownTalk's cheap. Well said, Neal. This is a really excellent show. Why don't you tell our listeners where they can find you guys if you have anything for them? Any other closing thought you want to add? This is very insightful. Yeah, we published single family and multifamily data on an ongoing basis. It's highly entertaining, very interesting. We also published data about things like the nonsense around the dollar's demise.00:30:49:23 - 00:31:12:06UnknownWe publish data on how climate change is changing real estate. We publish data on how artificial intelligence is changing markets around the U.S.. This is all very, very entertaining. These are hour long webinars. They're data driven, lots of charts, lots of graphs, but also some fun. And 25,000, you know, slightly nerdy.

ResourceCheck Out Nick's WebsiteReal Estate Marketing DudeThe Listing Advocate (Earn more listings!)REMD on YouTubeREMD on InstagramTranscript:What's up? Ladies and gentlemen, welcome with our episode of the Real Estate Marketing Dude podcast. Folks, we're going to chat about today is the only thing you should be focused on in 2024, because I was like, What are you going to do in markets?00:04:04:08 - 00:04:21:19UnknownStrange thing. What new shiny objects coming out next? What kind of work? I buy more leads. Work? I do this. No, dude, just need to start being more of yourself. You you need to be authentic before you could ever start marketing or attract anybody online. If you have any bit of like fakeness or bullshit about yourself, you're in turn people off.00:04:21:19 - 00:04:41:24UnknownAnd today's entire show is going to be dedicated towards one thing Authenticity. How do you become more authentic? Authentic? How do you become more authenticity? How do you become more authentic? So I think Nick here reached out to me maybe on Instagram, if I'm not mistaken, or maybe it's Facebook, I forget which platform, but he's been listed in the show for quite a while.00:04:41:24 - 00:05:03:17UnknownAppreciate that. But you know what? He really massages like my ability to show for a while. And this guy's been an agent for 20 years in a bar was six or seven years ago. He says he stopped he stopped being that perfect, perfect like Barbie doll and all type of an age it right? Like the stereotypical fucking person.00:05:03:17 - 00:05:20:20UnknownHello. I'm here for real. Say you write your name tag and everything, right? Perfect. Suit. Your socks are perfect. You're driving the car. You might have rented it from a friend just for the day, just to do showings. Right. But you put on that front. We've all been there and he stopped caring. He just said, Fuck it. I'm going to go out and be myself.00:05:20:21 - 00:05:35:09UnknownAnd we're going to hear story today. We have have not dug into this or you to hear it live with me here. We haven't practice this or anything like that. And he said, Mike, once I stopped giving a shit, I started business, took off, I started being myself. So the first thing I do is I go to his website.00:05:35:09 - 00:05:55:18UnknownI want you guys, if you guys are online, go visit his website and keep him in mind for your referrals because you'll be in good hands. But without further ado, we want to go ahead and introduce Mr. Nick Woodard from Middle Tennessee. What's up, Nick Paton And dude, good to be on here. I'm a friend. Yeah, forever. Thanks for coming on.00:05:55:20 - 00:06:10:06UnknownDo people want to hear your the story? I like I love these shows because you take something and you actually run with it. And I want to just hear the whole story is like from start to finish. I think people are going to get a lot out of it and you guys have to learn how to connect with people online.00:06:10:06 - 00:06:29:02UnknownAnd it's just like you connect with your neighbor, you connect with people at church, restaurant bars, whatever you do, I don't care. The same way you connect with people one on one face to face and same way you connect with them online. But it's very difficult to do that when you're really not in your own true skin. And my first question I have for Nick is, Nick, how long were you in real estate?00:06:29:04 - 00:06:51:02UnknownAll you time. Overall, I've been in it for 20 years. It's now growing here just south of Nashville, Middle Tennessee. And I went to high school here, went to went to college at MTSU, and then got into real estate because it was kind of a family thing. And that's that's what I was going to do until I figured out what I wanted to do.00:06:51:04 - 00:07:07:20UnknownAnd here we are 20 years later. Yeah. So sort of a similar story, like, I actually took this, I need to graduate college. And I was like, in last three hour elective. Our teachers, like, you can make a lot of money in real estate. And I'm like, sweet guys. That's what I'll do. Now, the first half of your career because you made the switch, right?00:07:07:20 - 00:07:24:20UnknownI'm going to I'm going to explain if you guys were just listing visually what the switch means. So if you go on to Nick's website, Nick Twitter.com, first thing I see is a pair of boots and like a baseball type cap and it's a615. He's actually wearing a six foot five hat right now. I'm guessing six one fives is area code, right?00:07:24:21 - 00:07:44:24UnknownSo but he's he built a brand. Every single person has one thing right off the bat. When I landed on your website, I already saw 615 and I already had a different impression, a different connection with you than anybody else. And because when a consumer logs on typically real estate agents website, what do you expect to see like Nick, what do you expect to see if you log on to a real estate agent site?00:07:45:00 - 00:08:08:21UnknownBe honest, there's no holding back here. Yeah, I mean, you know, you get the stereotypical Sunset Strip stuff and, you know, flashy cars and, you know, fancy houses and suits and, you know, everybody playing the game, trying to be, you know, just uber professional, which, you know, I'm still very professional. I just I do it in jeans, boots and a hat.00:08:08:23 - 00:08:29:03UnknownAnd it's just when you become authentically you, the game changes. Yeah. And you put your beliefs if you guys been listening to showing and I appreciate this he doesn't he's not scared to claim the only name that means anything Jesus Christ, Lord and Savior. But he puts it on his site, not like something like that. People don't want to, like all the time.00:08:29:03 - 00:08:44:09UnknownShould I talk about religion? Should I talk about politics? Should I do this? I do that? And the right answer is, Well, do you do that when no one's watching? And if the answer is yes, then the answer is yes. You should be doing that on your site. Why do what? Hold you back so long? And we just, like, stuck like, No.00:08:44:09 - 00:09:09:09UnknownWell, I wasn't growing at the pace I wanted to grow. And to be honest with you, it was mainly the the online presence change. You know, the game's changed. You have to create content like you preach all the time. You have to brand yourself. You have to do those things that are different now compared to 15, 20 years ago.00:09:09:14 - 00:09:34:12UnknownYeah. And so when I started picking up on doing these additional, you know, new things, that's when I was like, you know what? It'd be a heck of a lot easier if I just take video of me being me. And, you know, that's kind of what started it all. You know, a lot of my videos are now, of course, you know, local updates and tours of homes and all that fun stuff.00:09:34:12 - 00:09:58:05UnknownBut, you know, I put in videos of I've got a 60 acre farm South of town here, and I'll go down there and shoot guns and fish and hide. And I'm an outdoorsman. And, you know, you put you put you being you. And people will gravitate to that, like you say all the time. You attract your tribe and his Instagram and on his Instagram page, he it's awesome.00:09:58:05 - 00:10:15:23UnknownLike he penned and I could just like, I'm just I'm on your Instagram right now on my phone. And the second pinned video he has there's him shooting was like Buccaneer 5040s and it looks like some kind of machine gun. But yeah, you're right, because people probably say that to you. Like, here's a question just from your Instagram handle.00:10:16:02 - 00:10:36:09UnknownI'm sure you does this generate your business? Instagram More business comes from Instagram than anything else. Now, how many people, when they reach out to you, mention something about the gun almost every single one of them. And most of my clients, you know. But wait, it's wait. I thought we're living in like a woke America where guns aren't cool.00:10:36:09 - 00:11:01:16UnknownAnd if you have a gun, like, you're like, bad news, man. You know, man, it's kind of one of those things that, you know, I want people to know me before they meet me. So, you know, I'm a devout Christian and unemployed, unapologetically conservative. I'm an outdoorsman, a dad. And I want you to know that on the front in I'm not for everybody.00:11:01:22 - 00:11:22:05UnknownAnd you know what? I've I've brought in more people that want to work with me because of showing who I really am. I would agree with that. I've seen I've done it like I've it was similar like when I did the do think so first real estate market to Chicago real estate dude then in turn in the real estate marketing dude.00:11:22:05 - 00:11:42:23UnknownBut it was a brand right It's a brand guys is the 615 thing I pretty sure I don't know this either, but do people ever call you like the 615 agent or the 615? God, you get that a lot. I don't. I don't get the names, but I do. Walking around town, I have people come up and introduce themselves, the agent with the hat, and they they put it together.00:11:43:03 - 00:12:05:02Unknownyour Nick. We watch your content and, you know, good job. And you're like, Watch that, bro. Like, you actually watch that video, right? Floored me the first time that happened. It just, you know, so there's eyeballs on you. You don't know. And if you stay consistent with it, you, you know, you can really build something. What how long did it take you to like?00:12:05:02 - 00:12:23:19UnknownBecause when you start creating content, it isn't like we make it sound easy. Like I make it sound easy. Guys, it's not all right because I do this every day. But of course it's going to be easy for me. But if you haven't done this before, throwing yourself out there for many people. Scary. You know, I just got done shooting a video with a guy yesterday.00:12:23:19 - 00:12:43:12UnknownThis guy makes, like millions of dollars a year. He's the most confident attorney I've seen in a long time. But when he gets on camera, like is he buckles at the knees and so many people get stuck like like who cares what other people think about you, right, Right, Right. Does everyone is everyone who comes your way like you realize that?00:12:43:12 - 00:13:12:09UnknownLike you feel like you're there, like your brother from another mother, sister from other business. You feel like, okay, I just get along with these people, you know, I feel completely connected with most people before they even get here, because I know most people, you know, we try to impress everybody and be everything for everybody. But in all reality, you're when you become you and show who you really are, you attract like minded people.00:13:12:11 - 00:13:43:03UnknownAnd so there's a there's an automatic connection before we even jump in the car. Where else are you, Tommy? Talk to me about your marketing, how you stay in front of people. First off, are you doing anything cold? Like buying leads? Anything cold at all? Like, anything for buying any type of advertising like that? No, I've actually, you know, not to, not to steal your stuff, but you know, I've been listening to you forever, and so I do, you know, snail mail.00:13:43:06 - 00:14:21:15UnknownI do the video emails, I do Instagram, I do just a whole wide, wide range of stuff. How big is your email list right now? It's not huge. Probably 800, 900 everyday. And these are relationships, correct? These are all people that I know somehow, someway. Not. Not. Wow. All right. Let's break the math down on this. This is great 800 relationship and you're using video email.00:14:21:17 - 00:14:42:06UnknownWhat's your. Let's do that. So let's I'm going to show you guys why this works mathematically right now. Let's dig deep on this. So you have 800 people open your emails. What is your open rate on those video emails and how often are you sending them out? I send them out probably every 2 to 3 weeks. Open rate is just south of 50%.00:14:42:08 - 00:15:02:20Unknownshit. Okay, so here's what this means, you guys in mathematical ways, because this this is what a traction is. I'm going to define it right here. Good job, dude. First off, congratulations on the 800 email is Will relationships mine at my peak was 400 half of that an average I only see. It's okay if you start out with 50 relationships because you didn't get this overnight.00:15:02:20 - 00:15:17:22UnknownRight? And everyone says, I don't have an email list, but everyone has a wedding list. So much. So how do you have a wedding list? But you don't have an email list because you're waiting List is your email list. If you know like entrust them, you're farming them in any which way you can. Video emails the best email strategy ever.00:15:17:24 - 00:15:41:16UnknownI haven't see anything work better. I'm averaging 40%. You're averaging to 50%. It's because you have a much better relationship with them. What? What are you sending them on? Video email. First, take it. You're getting a 50% open rate. What is that type of content? You're really it's it's more engaging stuff like, you know, I, I moved to Brentwood, Tennessee just happened that school when I was seven years old, 1988.00:15:41:18 - 00:16:15:10UnknownSo I do a lot of you know, this is what I saw growing up. Basically, the William, you know, is a county. I specialize in this like Brentwood. FRANKLIN No one's little Thompson Station, just just south of Nashville. So I like to tell stories of of the way it was. You know, I live right outside of an area called Cool Springs, which is, you know, a thriving you know, it's got mixed use homes, commercial, all that stuff.00:16:15:11 - 00:16:36:23UnknownAnd I like to tell stories about when I was in middle school, we couldn't get pizza delivered so far out in the country. People people engage with stuff like that. The key sad is stories. Guys like it. Pay attention to this like he's he's hitting on the head stories because if you make statements it's harder people know the difference like stories versus statements is a big thing.00:16:37:00 - 00:16:57:06UnknownYou make statements, you're telling someone something and no one likes to be told anything. Correct. But when you tell stories, you're like, I can I can relate to that. Now, whether you know it or not, you were one of the ones that taught me that be good at telling a story, be a good storyteller. I'm doing the math on this video emails.00:16:57:06 - 00:17:17:09UnknownHere you go. So let's look at the map. So 800 people open them at 50%. Open. Right? That's 400 people seen him. Looks like you're about one and a half times a month on email. This doesn't count social media or anything he's doing. If direct mail, branding, whatever else he's doing, he's just when someone takes acknowledgment of your existence, you're basically having a conversation.00:17:17:09 - 00:17:37:03UnknownThat's what I love about video email because they don't want to talk back to you. You just need to have that face time. Right? But here's the math, though. So 400 people a month are opening your emails and you're touching them about 18 times a year. So out of those 400 people a month, these are just the opens, 10 to 15% of them are moving.00:17:37:03 - 00:18:04:09UnknownSo you got about 40 to, what, 50 different people just they're moving. And then out of all 400 of these people, all of them know someone who's moving, especially to Tennessee. Most of them are coming from Chicago. I probably know like ten people moving to Tennessee right now. But dude, so on emails, how many people respond to your emails because no one responds to it?00:18:04:09 - 00:18:26:21UnknownTurn back the clock. Email No. One response to a just listed email. Guys. How many people? To be honest, it's a little bit hard to figure out what the return is because it's just a consistent. Then you just do it over and over and over. And then I add, you know, a lot of snail mail to it, and it's not boring either.00:18:26:21 - 00:18:51:22UnknownUsually it's a handwritten note, you know, I've got a database of probably 200, 300 people that are my close group that are also on that list. You direct mailing them. Yeah. And it's usually know a lot of times I'll sit down with a stack of thank you cards, put a $5 Starbucks gift card in there and just say, Hey, thinking about you, please remember me.00:18:51:22 - 00:19:15:20UnknownIf you know anybody that how many people do you send that to you that go to the 200? Yeah, they probably go back to I love it And it's a legal bribe. You guys like 200 people. It is. It's a legal bribe. All right. It's 200 to 300 people. That's that's going to cost you 1000 to 1. That's going to cost you 1200 dollars.00:19:15:20 - 00:19:43:16UnknownYou're going to spend 1200 Oscar database. All you need to know on deal. And you what? Go in there and buy all those gift cards at 8:00 in the morning at Starbucks. They love that. That's fun it when everybody's waiting behind you as they scan in a hundred. Get those now he saw some the second ago and if you guys caught it but it's very hard to track like the emails you know they're getting open right And you don't know where people will come from.00:19:43:19 - 00:20:00:08UnknownIt's tough. Like you're like, where do you see me? Unless you get you probably ask once in a while, but probably not every time. But it's like, yeah, you got to ask the same from now. The beauty about this is I'm going to guess at all out of the people that are on his direct mail list, 200 or 300 people.00:20:00:10 - 00:20:19:17UnknownAnd when you're direct mailing people, 100% of people have to engage with you unless they live at the wrong address. So if they throw the piece away, it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter what you direct mail and it just matters a direct mail him something because it's the only physical touch, right? His email is a virtual touch. And I'm guessing all the people on the direct mail address, they're on your email list, too, I'm assuming.00:20:19:19 - 00:20:44:21UnknownRight. And they're probably also friends with you on social media. Yeah. And I've actually gone you know, one thing that I started doing not too long ago is take all my contacts, find them on social media and engage with them on social media to try to trip, you know, trip that the algorithm to pull my stuff up in their feed and vice versa.00:20:44:23 - 00:21:03:16UnknownHave you tried to boost your Facebook from your personal profile yet, just to your friends? No, I actually no, not to. A lot of people haven't done it. Yeah, do it. Try it. I'm curious to know what will happen and if you guys are listening, you could do this with a brand account. You could actually you don't see a business page anymore.00:21:03:16 - 00:21:20:11UnknownIn other words, because what the hell is the point of a business page to run ads unless you're running like advanced ads? But if you're just trying to market your database, I would just pick the one or two best performing posts each month and I would put ten bucks behind them. Right. Because you're going to reach way more of those people just to pay to reach them.00:21:20:11 - 00:21:46:01UnknownAnd it's still worth it. Now, the only problem I've ever really had with with boosting in ads and everything is the, you know, the the firewall for the, you know, you can't really target exactly who you want to target. Are your friends. Yeah. Good call to all I want to target cause now I got duties to their land and sea approach to same it just you don't need a large like audience here.00:21:46:01 - 00:22:11:06UnknownWe're not talking about tens of thousands of people but you don't need. I mean, the average analyst does like 6 hours a year, dude. Like, I don't know what the average sales price is by you, but statistically and mathematically, like, you're you're crushing it. Do it. I'm I'm very blessed. But modest guy I'm average you know between 15 and 20 million a year probably but that's fantastic for that market.00:22:11:06 - 00:22:43:12UnknownWhat's the average salesperson? You know average 20 to 30 sides. So yeah, the math, it's changed drastically in the past ten years. But at that wonderful man, I love it. I love it. Tell me about so you guys, you heard his frequency. I just want to make sure everyone gets that. He's direct mailing people, he's emailing people, and he's constantly engaging on social media, airline and see get to do everything.00:22:43:14 - 00:23:05:03UnknownWhat do you see best? Are you anything on Facebook or are you strictly IG and you do tick tock? Are you doing anything else on social? I do some Facebook, of course. That's, you know, mainly I kind of, you know, cross them, take my Instagram stuff and put it on Facebook. You know, I think those are probably two of the platforms you can get away with that.00:23:05:05 - 00:23:35:15UnknownVery similar. Yeah, you know, I do a little more personal on Facebook and, you know, I don't do as much with my kids and stuff on Instagram because of Facebook, just for somewhat privacy reasons that I have in terms of like what what's working best in terms of getting engagement on social feed, Like what type of content is performing the best short form video of So what's the length of time, what's the subject matter?00:23:35:15 - 00:24:16:14UnknownAnd all the above real are doing really well. I do a lot of, you know, showing showing the area, showing, you know, new construction neighborhoods, showing the lifestyle. It's all about selling the live. So there's a lot of people moving to the Nashville area from, you know, California, Chicago, that type thing. And a lot of them are coming for, you know, political reasons or financial reasons or, you know, if you showcase that, hey, look, Tennessee, come on, now we shoot guns and fish and it's it's a great ad on your brother.00:24:16:19 - 00:24:46:21UnknownYeah yeah. I the the post you were talking about on on my IG that shows me shooting guns It's a whole just snapshots of me out in the outdoors and doing that type. I can pinpoint exactly three new clients I've picked up because of that video. Yeah. About now on the flip side of that, first, you may have turned some off too, but guess what?00:24:46:21 - 00:25:12:02UnknownYou wouldn't want to work with them anyways. You're absolutely right that, you know, that's kind of the the risk reward that you have to take. And I was very concerned with that on the front end. But then when you start seeing the results and not only the results, but you're attracting people that you enjoy working with. Yeah. You know, we don't agree on everything and that's fine.00:25:12:02 - 00:25:38:11UnknownI don't expect to agree on everything. It's my job to to take care of these people and serve them well no matter what they believe. That's different than me. However, when you do click with somebody that that's similar to you, it makes everything so much easier and more fun. Yeah, I agree. I agree. What else would you tell someone?00:25:38:11 - 00:25:59:09UnknownBecause I think here's a big problem is that people I think everyone wants to do what you're saying. You know, like it just makes sense. But I think people it is, you know, like I said it, guys, this is an easy you have to commit to it, but you got to make the time to do it right. And then you know how life gets better.00:25:59:14 - 00:26:19:23UnknownHave kids like that happens right then. Then you fall off track and like, gosh, it I'll get an accident tomorrow. And then I go, I go there. How long did it take you to start getting those results to keep you motivated? Well, you know, basically, first and foremost, find you a couple people in your given market that are successful.00:26:20:00 - 00:26:51:09UnknownFollow them on IG and see what they're doing. You know, whether you're in Chicago or you're, you know, Phenix, wherever you are, find those those people that are producing, get on their pages, see what they're doing. You know, a lot of times I even save, you know, if there's something that looks great, I'll save it. And then when I have some time, I'll go create a whole bunch of content, stick it in the hopper, and then leak it out as I go instead of going, my God, what do I got to do today?00:26:51:11 - 00:27:14:21UnknownAnd feeling that anxiety of having to get something, or I've got 40 or 50 pieces of content a little way that I can throw out there, you know, and like you say all the time, take something that's long form, break it up in a short form and leak it out there in bits and pieces, because consistency is more important than having something that's incredibly great.00:27:14:23 - 00:27:26:14UnknownYou don't have to like you don't have to post at the time you're getting the content either, right? Like you don't have to. Like that's what I think a lot of you. shit, I don't want you to because I'm supposed to write. no, you could just like you could build a library stuff in your phone and hold on to it.00:27:26:16 - 00:27:55:09UnknownAnd then, you know, when you're sitting in your bed at night and do it when you make all your posts, how are you doing it? I guess in dead time, you know that real I was that we were talking about on on this pandemic profile. Those are some snips of video over the course of probably two years. Yeah they're just I had in my phone and then one day sitting around, you know, got a glass of bourbon and you go, you know, all right, let's put some reels together.00:27:55:11 - 00:28:18:24UnknownYou come up with some ideas, put them together, save them in your drafts and Instagram, and when you want to stick them out there, stick them out there. Are you following a certain schedule? Not really a problem started. Yeah. Yeah. Just sort of roll with it. Yeah. I think it's a I think that that helps people a lot if they just like you got to just like cause you don't know I need to do a better job.00:28:18:24 - 00:28:36:18UnknownThat actually started doing a lot of that. It took like a year off content. I was pivoting this year and now like back in the content creation mode. So I got all these ideas and shit everywhere, like in my phone, but what it comes down to is you have to get the stuff right, you got to get the content and you got to tell me the difference, though.00:28:36:18 - 00:29:03:01UnknownAnd here's an important point about the content you're creating, whether it's a tour or whether it's a picture you in it, whether it's a picture or video versus you not in it, what's the difference? I'm in some of mine I'm not in and others, you know, I do some voiceovers as well. I will say one thing that I think is important is to get yourself a logo, you know, get something.00:29:03:01 - 00:29:25:23UnknownIf you look at all my stuff, my logo pretty much pops up on everything. You know, Of course, they use the 615 just to kind of, you know, it's catchy. It grabs the eye and it ties and ties it back to me. But I think it's it's a mixed bag of of a lot of different things. As long as it's consistent and it's well done.00:29:26:00 - 00:29:48:12UnknownDoes not have to be perfect, just has to be consistent. It has to show your your your true self, be authentic and show the mistakes as well. I had I've had a lot of engagement from you know, I like to tell stories of things that I totally screwed up. Yeah. Vulnerable. Totally. And you own it if you own it.00:29:48:12 - 00:30:09:10UnknownPeople are forgiving. Yeah, I've bought a couple refrigerators before, but yeah, but the people are scared and when they make a mistake. But it's honestly the most human thing you could do at any my volunteer poster, I was my most engaged. And I think a matter of fact, I think I made a vulnerable post on Instagram. I think that's when you probably reached out to me, if I'm not mistaken.00:30:09:12 - 00:30:24:14UnknownWhat was one was that I think it was something about I was telling a story about a hard time I went through or something, and I think that that might have been the post you actually reached out on. Now we're on the show together, but that's like a perfect example of like what we're talking about here. I forgot about that.00:30:24:16 - 00:30:44:06UnknownBut yeah, that's what we're talking about, me and my stuff. If it was boring, same old stuff. You're different. That's why. That's why you stick out. So this is awesome, dude. You guys don't overthink this process. Nick's nailing it like you just got to stay from the people, you know, in your way. You don't have to tell them you're in real estate.00:30:44:06 - 00:31:00:21UnknownYou got to remind them, like, he's really just a tour guide. Like you're talking about the community because like anything you show in the community reminds everyone you in real say otherwise. Like, why are you doing the students? You have no life. You're doing it for business, but you're not doing it in a sleazy way. You're doing it in a value added way, and that's why people are responding to it.00:31:00:23 - 00:31:27:21UnknownGood job, man. Well done. Appreciate it. Any final tips you want to give to anyone who's thinking about building a brand, creating content and doing what you're doing in the 615 just do it. Stop being scared. That's what a social media is. Nobody's perfect as long as you do it consistently and authentically, you will see results, I promise you.00:31:27:23 - 00:31:51:15UnknownLike you say all the time, stop being afraid of that little six inch device You have just, you know, use the technology we got though, yourself out there and you will benefit from it.

Former NFL Safety and Nasty Bunch Legend, Perry Phenix, shares some hard hitting stories. Also, fans comment on Saturday's football game at Mississippi State.

In early March 2022, the skies over Irpin, Ukraine, sizzled with Russian missiles and thundered with mortar shells. Under those skies in the first days of Russia's aggression, the lead software developer for a Chicago-based startup huddled in his parent's basement when the air raid sirens sounded.For a substantial investment of thousands of dollars, the leadership at that startup—Phenix Real Time Solutions—could hire an extraction team to relocate their Ukrainian-based developer and his parents to relative safety in the western Ukrainian city of Lviv."It didn't take any convincing for our CEO or our founder,” said Kyle Bank, BSBA 2014, and the COO at Phenix. “It was, 'What's it going to take? How do we do it?' Same thing with our board of directors. Not one word of hesitation.”It was a situation Bank never anticipated when he joined the video streaming company in 2016. Bank joined soon after Phenix found a Ukrainian software engineer through an outsourcing company and built an in-country development team around him.That programmer's harrowing ordeal with his parents, who are in their 70s, started with a walk through a Russian checkpoint and across a makeshift bridge to replace the bombed-out span. They had to hurry to the Ukrainian-occupied part of Irpin, where they could catch a ride with volunteers to neighboring Kyiv. A day later, the extraction team—actually, a single driver employed by an organization that arranges such things—would collect the threesome and their belongings.“The experience of getting out of Irpin to Kyiv was probably the most dangerous part of the story,” the programmer said as he described the ordeal, which included a 13-hour drive to Lviv through more checkpoints and around battle-damaged roads. Said Bank: "I was absolutely glued to the computer screen all day trying to find out if he'd made it. It was a nerve-wracking day."The programmer was the focus of this particular episode. But it wasn't the only thing Phenix did for its Ukraine-based team of developers in the early days following Russia's aggression.RELATED LINKSWebsite for Phenix Real-Time SolutionsKyle Bank on LinkedInStory on WashU Olin's website about Bank's story about the programmerVice News report from Irpin by Ben Solomon mentioning the Irpin BridgeMore about Kurt Dirks"Leadership in Dangerous Situations," a book referenced by Dirks, to which he contributedCREDITSThis podcast is a production of Olin Business School at Washington University in St. Louis.

Description:

Everybody has a story that will break your heart. We all have our own traumas and dog trainers are no exception. Working with dogs and their owners is deeply rewarding, but it is also often a difficult and emotionally grueling task that leaves trainers feeling burnt out and emotionally and mentally exhausted. While this is a real problem, there are few resources out there designed to help trainers and behaviorists who are struggling in this regard. Annie Phenix knows firsthand the stress and pressure that leads many dog trainers to leave the field they loved, feeling exhausted and frustrated. She joined me today to talk about her own journey in and out of dog training, and her mission to provide support and advocacy for struggling trainers.

Before cool fall days arrive, the first weeks of football practice and games come in the August heat. High-intensity drills beneath the hot sun can do serious harm to the body, even to those in excellent shape. This week, the team talks with Dr. Douglas Casa at the University of Connecticut's Korey Stringer Institute about how to manage the heat and recognize heat illness before it's too late. Casa also discusses the importance of high school teams having athletic trainers and weighs in on which is better: water or sports drinks like Gatorade.  Korey Stringer was an offensive lineman in the NFL for six seasons who died on Aug. 1, 2001, due to complications brought on by heat stroke during training camp with the Minnesota Vikings. We want to hear from you! Have a question for the meteorologists? Call 609-272-7099 and leave a message. You might hear your question and get an answer on a future episode! You can also email questions or comments to podcasts@lee.net. About the Across the Sky podcast The weekly weather podcast is hosted on a rotation by the Lee Weather team: Matt Holiner of Lee Enterprises' Midwest group in Chicago, Kirsten Lang of the Tulsa World in Oklahoma, Joe Martucci of the Press of Atlantic City, N.J., and Sean Sublette of the Richmond Times-Dispatch in Virginia. Episode transcript Note: The following transcript was created by Adobe Premiere and may contain misspellings and other inaccuracies as it was generated automatically: Hello, everyone. I'm meteorologist Sean Sublette and welcome to Across the Sky, our National Lee Enterprises weather podcast. Lee Enterprises has print and digital news operations in more than 70 locations across the country, including my home base in Richmond, Virginia. I'm joined by my meteorology colleagues from across the sky, Matt Holiner in Chicago, Kirsten Lang in Tulsa, and my buddy at the Jersey Shore, Joe Martucci, with the Press of Atlantic City. Our guest this week is Dr. Douglas Casa at the University of Connecticut's Korey Stringer Institute, where they research and advocate for athletes at all levels regarding safety and performance. Basically, we're talking about football practice in the heat this week. For those who not familiar, Korey Stringer was an offensive tackle for the Minnesota Vikings. He died from exertional heat stroke during the NFL training camp in August of oh one. He played in 93 regular season games in his family, worked directly with Dr. Casa to develop the institute in the years that followed. He'll talk more about that in just a little bit. But I want each one of us to briefly talk about what we liked. I kind of liked the end when we had the all important Gatorade versus water question. What are some of the things that that you really took home from from this discussion? We had. Let's start with you, Joe. The Gatorade versus water ones. Good. You didn't bring up Powerade, though, Sean. Should have, you know, power ranked the three. I'm of old school. There is there is lemon lime in orange and that is it. I am that Gen-X dude. Oh, I love and light. Good and lemon lime is good. So you're going to hear the word wet bulb globe temperature a couple of times here throughout the pod. So it's a measure of heat stress. I'll let him talk more about it. But it's very important. And, you know, if you're an athletic trainer, you probably know what it is if you're not. It's a newer concept that us meteorologists and those in the weather industry are trying to bring to light. Yeah. And I think for me, the thing that stands out about this is everyone can relate to this because there's so many people involved with football with especially early on in the season and are used to this. You know, if you're not an athlete, there's so many people, the bands that go to the games, the cheerleaders is the fans, and there are a lot of games I can think of some Texas football games in Austin, Texas. Usually that first game of the season, if it was a kickoff at 11 a.m. or 230, it's not just the players on the field that are feeling the heat, but the fans in the stands. So this is just so relevant to so many people in August and early September, because especially in the south and southeast, where a lot of these heat related deaths do occur. With football, I mean, you can still have some really hot days. And this summer is a great example with all of the heat advisories. And heat warnings has been hot summer. And so it's probably could be an extra hot start to the football season as well. And he talks to just about, you know, just the symptoms that you can expect if you are potentially coming on with heat exhaustion or heat stroke. But then he also goes into treatment and what they do on the field with some of these players, if they are starting to experience some of those symptoms. So be on the lookout for that as well. Yeah, very good information coming with that. Let's get right to our conversation with Dr. Douglas Costa at the Korey Stringer Institute up at the University of Connecticut. And Dr. Douglas Casa is a professor of kinesiology at the University of Connecticut and the CEO of the Korey Stringer Institute. And this time of year, August, with football practice, is underway ahead of the season. Heat, of course, is top of mind, causes passion for this line of research began in 1985 when he suffered exertional heat stroke while running a 10-K, thus motivating his career research. The study of exertional heat stroke, heat illnesses, hydration and prevention of sudden death in sports. Dr. Kaza, thank you for joining us on the Across the Sky podcast. Honored to be here. Thank you for having me. So let's get right into this. Talk to me about this time of year, the risks to heatstroke, specifically with football players, what happened with Korey and how this kind of worked into this this broader the institute that you develop. Very as many people know, Korey Stringer passed away in 2000, one from exertional heat stroke, the only NFL player to die during a practice or a conditioning session or a game in the hundred year history of the of the sport. And I assisted his widow during some legal proceedings that took place as an expert witness for the next eight years. And Commissioner Goodell and his widow, Kelsey Stringer, reached out in 2009, asked, and if we want to host a lasting legacy for Korey, because they knew my expertise and my passion for the topic and we open our doors. In 2010, we had three people and we opened our doors and now we have 80 people who work at KCI. There's 25 staff and 55 volunteers and we're focused on health and safety issues for the athlete warfighter and labor and, you know, conduct research, do a lot of public health initiatives, advocacy testing of individuals. So I've been able to, you know, serve a pretty wide audience. All right. So let's let's step back a little bit about what what conditions were like in this environment in terms of football practices and the like 20 years or so ago. Now, a lot of this stuff is kind of intuitive. It's hot. You need to take it slow, you need to hydrate. But what other kinds of things you know, we're missing, you know, 20 years ago and we still need to to improve on. I mean, there's I think you and I remember a time where we were just told it's hot, drink some water. Keep going. Obviously, that's not the right answer. So talk a little bit about those things. So we can put it into three buckets, things that prevent the heat stroke from happening in the first place, things you can do to recognize it as quickly as possible, and then things you would do to treat it affects each stroke does present itself. So first, from the realm of prevention, there are kind of five big ticket items. One is heat acclimatization. That's the phasing in of activity across time in the first week or two. So going a little lighter, doing, you know, single day sessions, having dawn, having successive days of two days phasing and equipment. It's important for your audience to know that almost all heat strokes, more than 80%, happened in the first week of activity. When people are returning or doing something, whether it be military training, a person at a job working in the heat or an athlete in football training. Second item is measuring the environmental conditions and making modifications to the work to rest ratios on more extreme days, having more breaks that are longer. Third item is cooling strategies, having cold wet towels available during breaks, having shade available during breaks or whatever else you can do to cool someone to limit the rise of their body temperature. Fourth is hydration having fluid available, not having to have official breaks to access fluid, accessing fluid anytime you need a fifth. This kind of individual factors when people are on certain medications. Supplements have had previous problems in the heat, recent illnesses or injuries where they've been away from sport, they put them at greater risk. So those are the buckets that kind of fall into the realm of prevention of heat stroke. Dr. Kaiser, I want to go back, if that's okay, and talk some about environmental factors, aside from what many would think, you know, just simple heat index, I spoke with some trainers here in the Tulsa area and and they said that the wet bulb temperature was really something that they went off of. When it goes to or when it comes to those environmental factors. Can you talk a little bit about that and what you might have saw it? Yeah, it's a great question. So we do something called the WBC, which is a wet bulb globe temperature, which factors in like a bunch of different key environmental considerations. One is obviously the ambient temperature, the relative humidity, the radiant heat load, which is key because heat index is really limiting and should never be used in sports because heat index by it's when it was originally developed, was done in the shade for people at rest. And that's just not relevant for an athlete who's exercising in the sun and doing intense exercise. So what about globe temperature? 75% of the thermal load is the humidity, about 20% is the radiant heat load. 10% is the ambient conditions. It also factors and wind speed to some of those calculations so that we always we set up the work to rest ratio guidelines best based on the web of temperature measures that we get. And it's also really important that you're measuring those on site and never, ever relying on weather station data that could be 20 miles away because the artificial turf or the black track with the pavement of a tennis court, all those surfaces are very, very, very different than what you would get from a local weather station. Hey, Dr. Costa, I'm going to follow up on this because I really like using the Whipple globe temperature. But and this is more of like from a societal perspective, the one issue I have with it and I reason why I don't know how far this is going to take off using this on a public basis is simply because a lot of these temperatures are lower than the heat index or even the air temperature, depending on what it is. I mean, you have I believe you would know better than I, but I believe when you're above 90, that's really significant. But someone might see 90 or 91 at the end. It's not that bad. So yeah, I see. I see you laughing a little bit over there. So how do you kind of blend those two together and, you know, go forward with this? Yeah, that's a great, great point. If I started things all over again, I would have done a plus 40 correction factor for web temperature that just magically makes it higher because you're totally right, 92 web of globe temperature. You have to cancel all training in the military like you'd be court martial that you continue activity and that's by a 92 a person Louisiana years and this is the most mild day of the whole summer I'm right so but yeah so people in the medical field the athletic trainers who are working at the high schools, they understand those measures and they're just there. They've proven to have great value for reducing heat illness load. And right now at the high school level, almost every high school in America now has a web temperature meter, which is really good in terms of progress. But I do get your what you're saying related to the numbers, not translating to the general society in terms of being as meaningful. Yeah. And Doug, I think it's also just confusing for people because when we issue heat advisories and the excessive heat warnings, which have become quite common, particularly this summer, those are based on the feels like come to the heat index, which is just looking at temperature and humidity. So that's what people are most used to. I mean, at first it was just getting people educated about what the fuels like temperature really means and remembering that you have to include humidity. And so then you add in other factors and people get real confused and it goes beyond even what the National Weather Service is warning for. So for people that are not used to dealing with wet bulb temperatures, it's good that people are, you know, especially those at high schools and at the training level, are educated on on what that means. But for the general public, is there a particular feels like temperature or air temperature that should really start to raise kind of those alarm bells, like, okay, this is a type of this is a temperature where I do need to actually take extra precautions when it comes to just looking at the feels like temperature, is there a threshold that people should really focus on for when it could be can actually become dangerous for athletes? Yeah, that's a it's a good question. It's tough because I don't really think there's a great metric really for the public necessarily because heat index is completely useless. I mean, I can't tell you how useless it is. It doesn't take into account sun or the radiant heat load. So if you're in Phenix in the middle of the day, and you know what that feels like, you feel like you're going to little cook or melt that sun factor is not factored into heat index unless you're doing that very arbitrary. Plus 15 Are that like, you know, oh, sure somebody puts on their website that you should add on a full sun to the heat index measure. But that's completely arbitrary. So it's not really an objective measure. So it's a tough call in terms of, you know, having these metrics because you didn't, like I said, is a shade measure at rest. And that's just not super useful for us. So we want something that really humidity and the radiant a fact of the sun directly are really the key factors that we want to have people consider. Yeah, I think that's one of the things that really needs to be ratcheted up in terms of environmental and weather communications. I think we remember a time where we always would talk about, well, what is it in a shade and what is it in the sun? And we've kind of lost that in a lot of aspects in weather and environmental communications that the sun matters and it matters a lot in that summer. The sun is higher up in the sky. Your skin itself is going to be heated by the sun way more than it is in a December or January day. Could you speak a little bit about that more in terms of it? When we look at what bulb globe temperature and we talk about the incoming solar or radiant, does that kind of fluctuate with seasonal ality in terms of sun angle? Yeah. With cloud cover at a little, could you dive a little bit more into that? Yeah. So the radiant heat load is not just the direct radiant heat load. It's also got remember how much we get from the reflection. You know, you're on a black surface or the turf surface, so a full sun versus a full cloud day could mean artificial turf being 150 degrees versus 115 degrees going to be very, very different in terms of what you're handling. And most people don't realize, I mean, you have four ways you can kill yourself infection, conduction, radiation and evaporation. Three of those are completely dictate on how it relates to your skin temperature. So your skin temperature rises around 93 degrees. If it's higher than 93 ambient outside, you're absorbing heat from the environment via radiation conduction and convection. And the only way to cool yourself is with evaporation. And that's what the sweat droplet evaporating. But if you're in humid conditions like in the southeast, where almost all of the heatstroke deaths take place in athletics, you have no ability to cool yourself because of the sweat drop. It doesn't evaporate then you don't actually cool yourself at all. You're only losing fluid. And so the radiant heat load is really, really critical because one, you can absorb heat, but you're also getting the reflection from the surface that you're playing on. And that's why full sun versus full cloud is has so much influence on on the measures that we have and what influence it has for risk of heat on us. Another thing about acclimatization, as you mentioned, most of these deaths in heat stroke, heat exhaustion, all of this tends to be in the southeast. How much in terms of acclimatization do we see with regard to people in relatively cooler climates, let's say in in coastal Oregon or Washington or northern New England, where it doesn't get as hot in general, but they do get a locally hotter day. Just talk about how the body reacts if you live in a different climate, if you live in a northern climate versus a southern climate, how much does does the body kind of acclimate over over time as this climate, illogically? I mean, it takes about 7 to 10 days to get about 90% of the physiological changes associated with heat acclimatization. And that can happen in Massachusetts or Oregon or Louisiana. I mean, you just need a football player practicing in August and it's 86 degrees in Massachusetts. Instead of like 102 on Louisiana, they're still going to get heat acclimatized. I mean, they're still going to make those changes, those physiological changes. You get to heat acclimatized if your body temperature is over 102 for about an hour of activity and if that happens for five, six, seven days out of a ten day stretch. So you need to have that trigger. And for a football player to practice, especially any linemen, they're going to be over one or two for a couple of hours of the practice session. So heat acclimatization can happen regardless of the climate you're in. It's happen a little bit faster if you're in a hot weather climate because obviously you're going to get a little more hypothermia because of the environmental conditions. But that's going to happen everywhere. And that's why we need we work for heat acclimatization guidelines in all 50 states. We work for WEP up temperature guidelines in all 50 states, because those are two separate things that people need to consider. The phasing in of activity across the first week is different than making modifications based on the environmental conditions. We're sure. All right. So when we come back on Across the Sky podcast, we're going to have more with Douglas Casa, specifically about football this time of year. So stay with us. And we're back with Dr. Douglas Costa from the University of Connecticut's Korey Stringer Institute, talking about heat, sports and especially football this time of year. The regular season kicking off very shortly, just another 2 to 3 weeks or so specifically August heat football practice this time of year. We talked earlier in the podcast today about kind of working your way into it, starting off slow in the first few days of practice and then kind of building up as time goes on to get kind of acclimatized to the conditions. Talk a little bit about how, you know, and some of this is intuitive, but, you know, extra padding, how much how much extra heat the body is generating when it is exerting itself versus taking it more slowly. One of the first checks we tell people is to get fit first before they worry about heat acclimatization. So if you can do conditioning, you know, through the weeks in July when you're in no gear and you're not specifically doing football practices, you can help your conditioning with them in the actual formal football practices start, We've made a lot of modifications to policy over the last 20 years. The NCAA has done at the NFL most state high school athletic associations have adopted it and that is the first five or six days. There's no two a day practices. You phase in the equipment. So the first three or four days you might only have a helmet on. Then after those periods of times you maybe add some shells and then you can go to full gear, maybe after a week and then after the first week you don't have to have two days on successive days. So there's all these modifications to intensity and duration and the general stress to the body over that first 7 to 10 days to really protect people. Because like I said, the first week, they're at the greatest risk. So what can we do to decrease risk in that first week? Again, you know, slowly enhancing increasing the stress is one thing you can do. About how much more body heat, if you can quantify this, is generally when you're exercising, you know, at a level where you're doing wind sprints, when you're doing drills, obviously, I mean, again, some of this is intuitive, but is there a way to quantify how much more heat the body is generating? It's a good question. So, I mean, that the biggest factor that dictates the rate of rise of your body temperature is the intensity of the activity. So, yes, if you can not do really intense conditioning sessions, having more breaks, that's going to decrease the intensity, especially in that first week. And the second biggest factor that drives your rate of rise of body temperature is the environmental conditions. So obviously on more extreme days, taking more breaks, trying to have practices during times of the day when it's not as extreme. I'm having availability of shade during break periods and those are just like kind of tools we have available to us to decrease that risk. Doug If someone wants, you know, they want information from you about how to reduce their heat risk, it's a let's say it's a I don't know, let's say it's professional team or we can even say it's a college team, you know, how do they go about reaching out to you? And, you know, what are your communications like with that? So, yeah, I mean, I've worked with all 32 NFL teams, hundreds of college teams, some of the top pro teams around the world. I mean, people reach out to us directly, a Class I, we consult with some of them. We give advice, you know, more, you know, quick advice, like in an hour of phone call with some others. So it all depends on the circumstances. We have a lot of people who have had problems in the heat in the past and they come to us for testing so we can figure out their sweat rate and their sweat electrolyte concentrations and give them strategies. We've had people who've had heat strokes and who are unfortunately not treated properly and who did not recover properly. And they need help, you know, maybe getting back to their sport or their job. So, yeah, we have a lot of interactions with, you know, organizations governing bodies. But also the athletes themselves. And it seems like a lot of people are reaching out to you and trying to become better informed about this. But my wonder is how many are really taking this seriously? I think a lot of you might be listening to podcasts like, Huh, I wonder if the school that my kids are going to are following these procedures. So how do you know if your school or your team is following these procedures? And how do we know that, you know, people are really adopting this because it seems like there could be something like, oh, I can I can take advantage. We'll start the two days a week earlier than all those other guys and feel like they get a competitive advantage that way. So I can also see this as a way it's like, oh, this is our this is the way we're going to get ahead. But that seems like that'll be, of course, a dangerous decision to make. So how could someone, you know, really find out if their school is really following these procedures and is sticking to this plan? Yeah, Matt, that's I'm so really happy you brought that up. So the biggest thing I would tell any parent America of a high school athlete is make sure their high school has an athletic trainer. That's the licensed medical professional that takes care of medical conditions. About two thirds of high schools in America right now have athletic trainers. But if their kid is playing a sport right now at a high school level, especially the higher risk sports like football, soccer, basketball, running and really any sport, they should be concerned if they don't have an athletic trainer because they don't have an athletic trainer, then the coach is going to decide if their kid lives or dies when there's a cardiac event, when there's a heat stroke, a cycling crisis, a head injury. And we don't want that coach deciding if your kid is going to live or die. So that's the most important thing I would tell any parent in America is make sure their high school has an athletic trainer there. During all the practices and games. And that would be a great start because that athletic trainer is going to make sure they have the way they're meeting the state regulations for heat acclimatization. Or what about globe temperature guidelines for work to rest ratio issues for, you know, pre participation physicals that that a trainer is the steward, you know, to make sure all those things are taking place. You don't want to rely on the athletic director or other coaches for medical care. And Dr. Corso, this might be very kind of elementary, just taking it back to basics. But if we have any students that are listening to this podcast right now, can you just give them some bullet points on things to be aware of that could be leading to heat exhaustion or heat stroke? Just a couple of things that they may start to notice. No, that's good. Yeah. About 50% of the cases of heatstroke have prodromal signs and symptoms, meaning they'll exhibit issues before the collapse. It's important for two things. One, you kind of notice things early, but two, sometimes you never notice things early. And the first indication is the problem is they're collapsed in front of you and we have to act quickly. But some common signs and symptoms, the biggest ones is for heatstroke. Two, to make it different than heat exhaustion. You know, one dies from heat exhaustion, people die from heatstroke. And the biggest difference between those two is central nervous system dysfunction, meaning, and heat stroke. They might have confusion, combativeness, agitation, a lot of just not paying attention. I'm saying irrational things. That's that's something that separates it from heat exhaustion. But then some of the common things would be like headache, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, lightheadedness. But those can exhibit themselves in both heat stroke and heat exhaustion. And so a central nervous system stop that separates that. And also extreme body temperature at the time of collapse is a big difference. Heat strokes are 105 or one of six or greater at the time of collapse, where heat exhaustion will be in the 102 to 104 range. But obviously that athletic trainer would be doing that. The accurate core body temperature measure too, to know that they're dealing with a heat stroke. About how long between the time that somebody starts to exhibit these symptoms of potential heat stroke before there is there is a you know, they collapse. So I'm assuming it runs the gamut that, you know, as soon as you recognize the symptoms, you need to act immediately. But have these symptoms been known to go on 20, 40, 60 Minutes before somebody collapses? I'm always trying to think in my head these are the signs. This is how long I have. These are the actions that need to be taken. Right? Yeah, it's a good question. I mean, when I say collapsed, it doesn't necessarily reach the point of collapse for everybody. It might be someone they walk back to the wrong huddle or they're screaming at the coach and they would never normally do that. Or they might be punching a teammate or they might be, I'm just going to sit near the bleachers and they're incoherent, you know, And they're still conscious, though. So anything that's off like that, if someone had been doing intense exercise in the heat and you've ruled out that it's a cardiac event, we always tell people to assume it's heat stroke until proven otherwise. You have from the moment it presents itself, we have 30 minutes to get their temperature under 100 for if we want to assure survivability without long term complications to damage to their organs. So if someone's starting a one hour wait or 129, which is typical, starts for a heat stroke and you want to get them under one of four. That's why almost every high school in America has cold water immersion tubs. Over 80% of high schools have them. All college football programs have them all. 32 NFL teams have them because cold water immersion has the best cooling rates. So if we can get someone in a tub after they show signs of heat stroke, you can get them under 104 within 15 to 20 minutes. And that's the window. And there's a concept called cool first transport Second, even if there's an ambulance there, you don't put them in the ambulance. You finish cooling in the tub because that has the best cooling rates and then you send them to the hospital. And Doug, I wonder if you have any numbers on the number of heat strokes that are associated with sports and then also the number of fatalities. Are there any specific numbers that are associated with it? Yeah. So the National Catastrophic Center for Sports Injury Research Center did UNC-Chapel Hill that we partner with them on the Exertional Division here at KCI. And we generally see for the high school level like four or five deaths a year on average if you took it over like a ten year stretch. But obviously there's many hundreds of heat stroke that happen every single year at the high school level. Most of them are in either cross-country running or football, with football being the leading sport. And the big thing is, like I mentioned before, someone can have a heat stroke and have permanent damage, like they can have damage to the liver, their kidneys, their brain, their heart. So they might survive the heat stroke so it doesn't get recorded as a death, but their life is never the same after. And that happens to most people who are not treated properly, have long term or permanent complications. Doug, we're going to wrap it on up and we really appreciate all the time, but I got one last question for you here on that question. So you got your master's degree from University of Florida and then you got your Ph.D. in exercise physiology from UConn. So who's going have more football wins this season, UConn or Florida? The trickier question if people might think it's so. It's a good question. My university of Florida, I'm going to guess, is going to have more obviously a little more of a football tradition. But UConn had a decent season last year, hoping to, you know, build back to where we were some years ago. But yeah, so UConn is my my basketball school and university of my my football school because. Area. That makes. Perfect sense up there for the fall in the winter. You're good until March. Yeah. My wife and I are alums of both schools so we we got to have an assortment of of teams to cheer for. That makes perfect sense. For sure. For sure. Oh, one more question for for we sum up Gatorade versus water. Man. I still hear this all the time. Does it really matter or is just water just fine, though? In most circumstances, water is fine. But if you're doing more than an hour of activity and it's intense exercise in the heat, I would always encourage you to have sodium in the beverage because it helps with retention of fluid and it encourages the thirst mechanisms to someone will voluntarily drink a little more to minimize their dehydration. So if it's intense exercise in the heat, it's going to be a few hours practice. It's a soldier labor or an athlete. I do encourage some people to have some sodium in the beverage and to get some calories in the beverage. Excellent. But I get that all the time. So it's great hearing it right from you. Anything else you wanted to to bring forward before we wrap up? No, I think it's been great. I really appreciate this opportunity to get to another audience. Thank you so much. Where can people online find out more about the work you're doing there at KFC? Yeah, it's simple. KFC, dot, UConn, dot, edu. They're UConn's Yuko and wonderful. Dr. Casa, thank you so much for joining us. Hope everybody stays safe. And remember, it's not just a little bit hot. It can be dangerous this time of year. All right. Thank you. No, guys, it's for me, it's really amazing to see how things have changed regarding heat and football and practices. You know, since the time I was in high school back in the eighties, showing my age and how things are handled now, especially as unfortunately, we do see the weather tending to turn a little bit hotter. August has always been hot for sure, but man, we're not seeing that the two days as much. We're not seeing full pads as much anymore because, yeah, it's you don't want to think about especially kids going out there and truly suffering or worse, dying from something that's very easily preventable. So very glad to have had Douglas on for today. Yeah, totally. You know, we did get to talk a lot about that wet bowl globe temperature, you know, and just how important it is for so many in sports and even in the military. I like how he brought that up, too. You know, at a certain time, military stops exercises as well, depending on the sunlight, you know, how strong the sun is, the dew point, temperatures, etc.. So, yeah, he's definitely done this before. You could tell he's he's very well versed in this and what they let people know. So it was a nice tape podcast. I hope you guys enjoyed it. You know, we try to keep this one short for you, but there's a lot of info in there. But it was a for podcast for us as well. But one thing that stands out to me is how he mentioned the importance of athletic trainers. And I do think they're a very overlooked person on these football teams because they have such an important role trying to look out for the athletes because the coaches are all about winning and the coach knows that he's going to lose his job if he doesn't win games. So he's all about, how can I make these guys better, How can we win games and might in the process of doing that, overlook the safety of the athletes? I mean, we certainly hope not, but we see how quickly a coach can be fired if they have one losing season. Even so, there's a lot of pressure on the coaches just to win. And so you need somebody there is a wait a minute. It's not all about when you need to make sure these guys are safe because this could impact the rest of their life. So I think the importance and one thing that's got a little bit scary is that there are a lot of high schools that still don't have athletic trainers. You only talk about two thirds of high schools, even having athletic trainers. I think there should be a real push to make sure that every school, even the small ones, have somebody who's really looking out for the safety of the athletes. Yeah, And he was able to, I guess, you know, for those who don't have those trainers, you know, to give a little insight on what, you know, you may be experiencing, if you are coming on with some symptoms you may be experiencing, if you are coming on with the heat stroke or heat exhaustion. So good to hear from somebody, you know, right from the source, I would say, because he sure is in the thick of it and he sure does know his stuff. Yeah. And I also like this idea that I become a little bit frustrated with with the heat index and the feels like temperature. And Joanne, with you, if I could just turn the switch and go back in time, I would love to introduce to what Bob Globe. But as you alluded to here in earlier, it's you know, you hear 90 it doesn't sound that bad, but, you know, a 90 wet bulb globe temperature, that's black flag conditions for the military, they're not going to have operations. And the other thing I did not know is that your skin temperature is 93, so that if you're outside and just a regular old temperature is 93, you're going to be taking on heat unless you were sweating like just crazy and losing heat that way. All right. With that, we'll wrap then for for this week in the coming few weeks, we've got some more really good topics. We're going to talk about the infamous bouncy houses and the weather. We're going to talk more about football and fantasy football. We're also going to talk a little bit more about the deep oceans and and the warming waters of the devotions as the climate warms, as we're getting into the into the course of hurricane season. But for all of my meteorology colleagues from across the sky, Kirsten Lange and Tulsa, Matt Holiner in Chicago and Joe Martucci at the New Jersey Shore, I'm meteorologist Sean Sublette at the Richmond Times Dispatch. We'll talk with you next week.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

You've heard the saying: At least it's a dry heat. That might be true when comparing 90 degree temperatures in Arizona to Texas or Florida, but when dealing with truly extreme heat, hot is hot. With more than two weeks with temperatures above 110 degrees, ABC Arizona meteorologist Jorge Torres talks with the team about the impacts of this record-breaking heat wave on the people, the power grid, and everyday life in Phoenix. We want to hear from you! Have a question for the meteorologists? Call 609-272-7099 and leave a message. You might hear your question and get an answer on a future episode!

Episode transcript Note: The following transcript was created by Adobe Premiere and may contain misspellings and other inaccuracies as it was generated automatically: Hello, everyone. I'm meteorologist Sean Sublette. And welcome to Across the Sky, our National Lee Enterprises weather podcast. Lee Enterprises has print and digital news operations in more than 70 locations across the country, including my home base in Richmond, Virginia. I'm joined by my meteorology colleagues from across the sky, Matt Holiner in Chicago, and Kirsten Lang in Tulsa. Our pal Joe Martucci, away from the office today, July 25th. And we bring that up we often don't talk about a specific day, but we bring that up because our guest this week is Jose Torres, a meteorologist at the ABC station in Phoenix, Arizona. They have have had more than two consecutive weeks with temperatures of 110 degrees or hotter. And we want to talk about how the city has been handling it, how the people have been handling it. And, you know, Matt, Kirsten, some of the things you talked about are things that we normally never have to think about here in the central United States or the eastern United States. And some of it was very eye opening. Yeah. Listen, when he starts to talk about what part of the hospital is actually seeing capacity during this time, because I think that was something that really was surprising to me. Yeah. And we got into the discussion because, you know, I've seen some people kind of dismiss the heat in Arizona and the Southwest, like, oh, it's just a dry heat and or he's from Texas, but I'm from Texas. So I was like, I want to talk to a guy who has experienced both the heat and humidity and the dry heat and really get an idea of which is worse. I just the same. So diving in and hearing his description, comparing Texas and Arizona, I really enjoyed that. Oh, yes, we hear that all the time. Oh, but it's a dry heat, so he'll get into that. I'll talk about power grid, I'll talk about water supply, infrastructure, all that stuff coming up. Or he is a native of Texas, as you alluded to, as a graduate of Texas A&M before he was in Phenix, he worked on the air in El Paso and Albuquerque. So let's get right to our conversation with Jorge Tourists. Meteorologist Abc15 in Phenix, Arizona. Jorge, thank you so much for joining us to talk about this brutal heat you've had in Arizona and in Phenix in particular. First off, I want to talk about Phenix. For people who aren't from around Phenix and Arizona and the Southwest, they had this idea. Well, of course, it's hot. It's Phenix. But but talk a little bit about how it is different this year, both in scope and how long this heat wave has been going on. Yeah, shot. So a lot of people outside of Phenix, the Valley in Arizona think of Phenix as a brutally place which for most the summer it is. The difference this year is the longevity of this excessive heat wave. Now, we actually have to start with the beginning of the year. What it was a cooler and wetter start across the west, including here in Arizona. We didn't really start seeing the one tens until late June. And we usually get them in mid-June. In fact, June tends to be on average the hottest month of the year in Phenix. But July of 2023 is going to beat that by a landslide. We have had now 25 consecutive days with highs at or above 110 degrees. That blows the all time record of 18 days that was set back in June of 1974. That's just one aspect. The other aspect is just how warm it stays even at night. That's the other thing we're noticing a lot more nights where lows don't even get below 90 degrees. We are now on 15 straight days with lows at or above 90. So the city and much of the valley doesn't even cool down at night. So that's what's made this particular stretch not just extreme, but also dangerous and unfortunately even deadly. So, George, you mentioned that it's been dangerous and it's been deadly. You know, working in the news business. I'm sure you've heard a lot of stories. You know what? How how are you seeing people cope with the heat in different ways than maybe they wouldn't have in the past just with this unrelenting heat wave that you've had. So one of the things here at ABC 13 that that we we promote is obviously people are trying to stay inside for as long as they possibly can safely between the hours of usually we would say from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., but it's already around 100 degrees by 9 a.m. here. So we're telling people to stay inside at from essentially 9:00 until six if they can. Obviously, not a lot of people can because you have to be outside their job makes them be outside. So another thing we always say obviously is stay hydrated, drink plenty of water, electrolyte drinks. But we are also encouraging people to go to their nearest cooling centers. So one thing that the city of Phenix and Maricopa County has done very well is provide cooling centers for people to find an adequate location, not only to stay cool if they can, for a long period of time, but also to get water. And that's one thing we're seeing a lot here is a lot of cooperation between government agencies and entities to keep people who don't really have the luxury or the necessity or to buy a shelter to find a cooler space. And it gives them that opportunity, along with obviously malls being open, movie theaters, large places where people can go in and stay cool and. HAURI I'm curious about how disruptive this has been on everyday life there. Have there been certain adjustments to workers who have to be outside adjustments in their hours or maybe more frequent breaks or more water provided? And have there been any outdoor activities? I mean, we're talking about summertime here when people want to be going out and doing stuff. Have there been any events that have been canceled because of the heat? There was one just recently. There was a concerts by the group Disturbed that was canceled as a result of the Heat because it was in an outdoor amphitheater that in July temperatures begin to cool down a bit usually. So it's okay for the most part. But obviously this July has been unprecedented when it comes to this relentless heat. So that is one event that was canceled as a result of the excessive heat. We've had a lot of other events where people have raised their concerns or voiced their concerns regarding temperatures with a few concerts, but they've still gone off as far as other events. Now we're starting to see more schools open back up because a lot of schools here in the valley, which will be referred to the Phenix metro area, are year round. So they're beginning to open up. They're still adding practices, but yes, they are. They're giving their players a more breaks for water, obviously, along with many crews who work outside. We're talking construction workers, we're talking landscapers. They're still in it, starting very early. A lot of these crews start before sunrise when it's obviously still hot, still temperatures in the nineties. But they, from what we're understanding, are getting the breaks in order to stay cool and still do the job that they've been tasked to do. Yeah, but the stuff that has to be done outside, I get that entirely. But also they get in this kind of heat. Are there things happening to infrastructure? I've heard, you know, you hear the horror stories about pavement starting to melt. When it gets a certain temperature threshold, it takes a lot longer or a lot more running room for aircraft to get going because the air density isn't sufficient to get lift on the wings. Any of that kind of stuff starting to happen. From what you've seen. Nothing that's widespread, at least from what we have been reporting. Now we heard of a lot more air conditioning units go out because they're all in for such a long time. So we're seeing a lot more of these air conditioning companies. The backs going to repair a lot of these residential areas that don't have AC working. And in a place like Phenix in the middle of summer, that can be dangerous and that can be deadly. So we are seeing that. Something else we're noticing not so much from the infrastructure standpoint, but from the public health standpoint. A lot more burn victims going to the Arizona birds that are as a result of falling on the pavement. So we're hearing reports of first degree, second degree, even third degree burns from just being on the pavement, not just falling on it, but for those who unfortunately don't have a home to go to, are sleeping on it at night and throughout the day. So some of the birds, the Arizona birds that are are at capacity, a lot of them due to, unfortunately, some of the burn victims as a result of just how hot the pavement and the asphalt can be in excess of 150, even 160 degrees. So that's something we're noticing a lot, too. All right. So as you mentioned before, as we get into July, that's normally when the temperatures tend to back off. And I'm assuming that's because it's about the time of year when when the monsoon circulation is expected to show up. Talk a little bit about that in terms of the Phenix climate, when when you oftentimes expect the worst, the heat to break and the latter part of the summer, talk about the monsoon circulation, why it's important. And and I'm imagining people are really itching for it to show up soon. Everyone here in Arizona is waiting for the monsoon to wrap up. And yes, for those of you who are watching outside of Arizona in the southwest, a part of the United States does have its own version of the monsoon. It's not as intense as the one you're used to hearing about, say, in India. But we do have our monsoon season. We have our seasonal. Winship that starts to occur mainly in July, specifically for Arizona, but the onset starts in June in northern Mexico. What happens is that once you start to get those temperatures in the southwest really beginning to heat up, which is around June, we start to see that wind shift from the south and we get more moisture coming in. And then by July, mid-July is when we really begin to see that monsoon flow really park itself over Arizona and the southwest. And that's when we start to see those thunderstorms in the afternoon producing some of those famous videos. You see it up walls of dust called haboob. So that we had, what, about a week ago, and then we start to see more storms develop. But that's when we get a lot of our rainfall that being said, because most of the early summer months were cooler than average, the monsoon was delayed. So that's why July has been one of the hottest months on record and may actually be the hottest month on record for Phenix because we really haven't had the monsoon moisture and the storms to go with it to really drop those temperatures. And we're still waiting. But there are signs here in the next week or two that finally we could start to see some signs of life with the monsoon statewide. Yeah, that was something that that I was looking at prior to talking with you. Is that that long term forecasting kind of, you know, when when relief was inside, there was a lot of promise. Yeah, of course, it can't last forever. But, you know, looking at that, how what is it looking like is you look like August is going to be a little bit better month for you guys there then. Yes. As of now, it does appear that August looks a little more promising as far as a if not a wetter than average red, at least a near normal, which we will take obviously starting off with July being bone dry. And actually when it comes to rainfall, we have already exceeded 120 days without measurable precipitation at Benue State Harbor, which is where the official observations are taken. And that's already about to approach the top five list as far as long as stretches without rape. Also, you add on the 110 degree days, we've had the 90 degree days we've had and no rain over a span of months. So everyone's already like we're we're tired of this. We want some relief. But it does appear that that August is looking, if not where we should be on in a given month for August during the monsoon, maybe above. Yeah. I'm imagining where you should be for this time of year will will be a welcome relief. We're going to take a quick break then we'll have more with George Torres from Abc15 in Phenix, Arizona. And the blistering heat wave they're going through on across the sky will be right back. And welcome back to the Across the Sky podcast. I'm meteorologist Sean Sublette along with Houston Lang and Matt Hollander and our guest this week as well, he tourists from Abc15 in Arizona, Phenix, Arizona, where they are in the midst of an absolutely brutal and record shattering heat wave already I know 25 days above 110 and counting. This heat wave so bad, so prolonged. How what is kind of the feeling on the street as we're in terms of how people are perceiving this? Do they kind of see this as like, you know what, maybe this climate change thing is starting to show up? Are they kind of seeing it as well? You know, it's just Arizona and we're used to it. What's kind of the feeling out there in the public as you kind of mingle around and and hear people talking about this heat wave? Well, I'm getting different reactions from from different people. You have those who are lifers here in Arizona, specifically here in the Phenix Metro, and they're like, it's Phenix in summer. It's going to be hot. It's going to be 110 degrees every now and then. The the issue is that it's so prolonged and we keep breaking these records essentially daily, not just during the afternoon works out or ten and 15 or hottest temperatures so far this year, 190. It's happened twice already, and that hasn't happened since about 2017. So a lot of these temperatures haven't happened in a very long time. And so you have those who are like, you know what, this in 2020, we thought that was bad, where we had to be three days that entire year with highs and above 110. That's still a record. But you're seeing this happening more frequently, especially since the early 2000s. So people are also taking notice like, you know, I don't remember it being like this for so long. And then the other group that some people tend to forget about are those that just moved here. The one thing about four years is it's a vastly growing community and we have people moving in from the Midwest, from California, from all parts of the country and the world. And for them, this is their first summer in Arizona and they are experiencing one of the worst on record. So for them is like, is it normally like this? And we're like, it's not normally like this, but it may be a new normal if we continue going the path we are worldwide In. HAURI, I want to talk about the kind of heat. So you're from Texas? I'm from Texas as well. And so we are used to the heat and then one of the arguments that comes up are people in Texas and the Southeast is like, well, we deal with the humidity. It's the heat and humidity out west. And Phenix and Arizona, it's a dry heat, so no big deal. So is that true? Is a dry heat really better? Does the humidity make a difference or is hot? Just hot? It's hot. It's hot everywhere. When it's 100 degrees with no humidity, obviously that feels way better than 100 degrees with so much humidity like in Texas, which I don't miss going up there and and the summers were just brutal. But when you get to 110, when you get to 115, even when there's little humidity, it hurts like you feel it. It's a you know, it's a dry heat. But so is an oven. So is a jet engine. You don't want that in your face all day long. As as much as I don't miss that humidity in Texas, 100 degrees or 95 degrees with humidity, I'll take that over 115 hundred and 1718 degrees, even close to 190. It's a different kind of heat and it's a heat that that no one wants to be in. But yeah, millions of people that are in it every day, myself included. And just to follow up on that, too, I'm curious about the wind situation in Phenix, because one thing that was I noticed a difference when I grew up in San Antonio for my three years living in the Rio Grande Valley in Texas, which is near the Texas coast and the valley compared to San Antonio, there was a lot more wind. We got a lot more sea breeze activity. So we had a lot of hot, humid days, but there were quite a few days where it was breezy and that did make a difference when there was a breeze and you could like at least below the sweat of your body, it seemed to make a difference. The wind can help too. So what is the wind situation like thing, especially during this heat? Well, during the summer, it doesn't really get super windy unless you have storms nearby. We we've had a couple here and there, but in the afternoons we do get some occasional breezes. Wind speeds around 10 to 15. Well, we have 10 to 50 mile an hour wind speeds from a dry place with temperatures at 110, 115 degrees. It feels like a furnace is blowing in your face. So it doesn't give you that cool feeling like you would on the on the Texas coast here. It's just like a furnace is on and it's blowing hot air in your face. So it's really not comfortable even though we do have breezy days. And something else I was just curious about was how are things going, I guess with the electric grid there? You guys seeing any sort of power outages due to the heat? We are seeing power outages here and there across the valley, but they're not really prolonged. It is not a major outage issue across the valley and we don't expect it to be. The grid here is is different than than there is the one people know about in Texas with ERCOT, where they've had their issues and their concerns regarding demand over the past few years. We don't really have that concern here. But we do have those occasional power outages in certain communities and they can go on for a couple of hours, which is concerning. But the local energy and utility groups here, APS or SRP, they are on top of it for the most part when it comes to getting the power back on for those communities that are dealing with the outage, whether it be short term or long term. One other question I had kind of kind of dovetails off of that going back to water supply. I mean, I know it was a little bit wetter at the beginning of the year. Water supply. Okay. You know, we hear a lot of the horror stories here in the United States about the West is in deep trouble running out of water. It was a wet winter, so I'm guessing that that's helped everybody out a fair bit, at least for for a summer or two. But how is the water situation this summer there in Arizona? You're right in that the winter it was a wet one across the west from California to Colorado, where a lot of Arizona's water supply comes from the Colorado River and the lake levels at Powell and Mead have gone up quite a bit over the past few months. So that is a welcome sight for us here in Arizona, where a lot of our water supply comes from the Colorado and also the Salt and Verde rivers, which are more local, and they haven't really been impacted as much, thankfully. The other concern, obviously, is our groundwater supply. And that's where we've had more concern because the majority of groundwater in the state of Arizona is unregulated and you have a do a few places, including Phenix, that has a regulated groundwater supply. In fact, earlier this year, the governor of Arizona, Hobbs, announced that within the Phenix AMA or active management area companies who are only going to use groundwater as far as the water supply for certain communities within the Phenix metro area have to show proof of another form of water. And it can't just be solely groundwater if not, and that they're building a large enough community residential or subdivision, then they cannot be approved to built. So that is something that is brand new as of this year, some companies will not be allowed to build if they are only showing groundwater as their only source of water for the project that they are building. So that's something that's new that our governor has imposed here. Yeah. I'm curious about what other long term discussions are happening since over the last few years we've seen these extended heat waves. This seems to be something that is going to be an issue moving forward. The heat situation getting worse, perhaps extended droughts. What are some of the other discussions that are going on as far as long term planning, preparing Phenix? Cause you're obviously not going to move the entire city of Phenix out of their population. It's just been going up. So what kind of long term discussions are happening about what can be done moving forward in the future to be. Better prepared for these heat? Well, one thing when it comes to the heat waves, City of Phenix is the first city in the country that has its own Office of Heat and Mitigation. It was put into place a couple of years ago, and it's looking at ways to mitigate the the extreme heat that we deal with here in Phenix, you know, one of the hottest metropolitan cities in the country. And so the office is coming up, ways to try to be resilient when it comes to allowing the valley to cool down a bit by making more parks with trees, things of that nature. So that is something that the city is really, really putting an emphasis on because the Phenix is growing and it's going to grow quite a bit. People for the most part, for the most part, love Phenix and Arizona. When it's not 100 to 115 degrees. You have the rest of the year where temperatures are very comfortable. And so our our weather conditions. But in the summer months, obviously, it can get dangerously hot like like this summer so far. So that's one thing that looking long term the city is working on, too, to find ways to make the city a bit cooler than it has been. Yeah, I understand that for sure, because I think we all know the planets in the cities are only getting hotter. We've got urban heat to contend with on top of the the planetary warming signals. So it's good that they're thinking ahead for for the long term planning or anything else you wanted to share before we turn you loose and let you get back to your day job. Mean one thing we're constantly doing here at Abc15 is is talking about these issues, whether it be extreme heat, whether it be air quality, whether it be, as you guys talked about or asked about the water concerns here in Arizona and across the west. And we are continuing to tell the public that, you know, this is something that we're going to have to deal with unless changes are made, not just at the local level or in your home, but also at the government level, higher up from state and federal. And, you know, the more report on it, the more people are understanding the issues and the more we could see some change. I mean, it's not stuff that we're asking for. We're just saying, you know, this doesn't happen. That's going to happen. But if this happens, that'll happen. So that's all we're doing here at ABC 15 is just talking about the important issues when it comes to climate specifically, but pertains to Phenix and Arizona and let the viewers know what's happening. Good man, good man. So sorry. Thank you so much for taking the time with us today. And do your best to stay cool to all of our all of your colleagues there at Abc15, too, to stay cool as well. And hopefully we'll talk with you again soon. All right. Looking forward to it. Hopefully by then, temperatures here will be much, much cooler. Yeah, we'll see. We'll see if we'll get a good haboob going for later this summer. Hit the fall. Take care, man. Hurry. I'll take care. Thank you. What a great conversation with Foray today in the midst of a heat wave that, frankly, is very hard for me to even imagine. And one of the things I'm glad you all brought up was the power situation, because it's really hard to imagine going without electricity, an air conditioner, air conditioning in a situation like this. I remember as a kid, you know, in the seventies and eighties, we didn't have air conditioning in the hot Virginia summers. And that was that was bad enough. I really can't fathom what it would be like to to be in a house without air conditioning in Phenix, Arizona, right about now. Well, it just got me thinking about, you know, beyond, you know, the southeast and southwest, where, you know, most folks at least have air conditioned. Now, there is the issue where the cost is so high this people are not running their air conditioners in this extreme, which is a scary thought. But to me, you know, we're seeing the heat expand to more places farther north. And these heat waves aren't just limited to the southwest, but they're happening in the Midwest. The northwest, the northeast, and places where some people don't even ever do this. And again, that was the biggest shock to me moving from Texas to Chicago. How there are apartments here, there are homes here that don't even have air conditioning. And I think moving forward, you're going to see less and less than that and a pivot where, you know, so much of the focus has been on the heat or the cold winters and making sure people have heat to a more of a shift that in the summer we got to make sure people have air conditioning and no longer is it okay to not have air conditioning in a lot of places. With the temperatures on the rise, that's becoming a necessity, not an option. Yeah, And you know, we have in Tulsa, whenever we have such hot conditions and I'm sure they have it there too, you have those cooling stations which, you know, you got to have those across the city when you have temperatures like this for some people who, you know, forget the the fact if they have it, their power is going out. Some of them, you know, may be homeless and don't have a spot at all to to receive any kind of AC. And so those cooling stations are really important as well in situations like this just to you know, just to stay healthy. It'll hit you hard and it'll hit you fast. That heat I visit out there quite often. I know I've talked about this before, but I've been was out there and it is different. You know, he described it as feeling like you're in an oven. And I think that was like spot on. Yeah, we're going to stay with heat as the theme there. Our next podcast. We've got Zeke House father coming up next time. He's a climate scientist who's written a lot extensively for both carbon brief and Berkeley Earth there on the West Coast in California. We're going to be talking about the hot ocean waters. You know, we've heard a lot about how how hot the oceans have been this season. We're going to talk a little bit about what's causing that. It's not just the the warming climate, but there are other things going on. He's he's really good at that. So looking forward to having our Zeke. And then we're going to a couple more more kind of ocean and and safety kind of things whether it's, you know, coastal safety or then returning to hurricanes before we get into we're getting close to football season, right? So we're going to have somebody from the Korey Stringer Institute or Korey Stringer Institute excuse me, Doug Kass of there to talk about heat and football practice. Because you put those pads on, you drawn the wind sprints and the August heat, and that puts you at risk as well. So now we're going to close up shop for this week. So for Kirsten Lang in Tulsa, Matt Holiner in Chicago, and our pal Joe Martucci in Atlantic City, I'm meteorologist Sean Sublette, thank you for listening to the Across the Sky podcast and we'll see you next time.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

He has over 25 years of financing, owning, operating, and developing franchise businesses all across the United States in both the salon and restaurant industries. Mr. Kelley currently leads the charge as the salon suite concept continues expanding its global and national footprint. Phenix is a salon suite rental concept that offers an opportunity for salon and lifestyle professionals to operate their own business in a private salon suite within a larger, well-located salon. The brand licenses individualized suites so professionals can service their clients in a safe and secure environment. Founded in 2007 by beauty expert and celebrity hairstylist Gina Rivera, the Phenix suites concept has reinvented the salon industry. The company began franchising in 2012 and today has more than 340 salons across 33 states with continued plans to expand internationally.
