Planning to buy a condo in 2025? Don't just compare PSF and assume it's a good deal. In this episode of NOTG, Melvin Lim from PropertyLimBrothers defines 3 condo-buying frameworks that help condo-hunters make sense of why some new launch and resale prices.   Understand why some resale units are now asking north of $2,200 PSF—the same range as new launches—and what that really means when lease balance, renovation costs, and exit potential is factored in. With more OCR and RCR projects hitting the market, including first-mover launches like Springleaf Residence, it's becoming trickier to tell what's actually worth buying.   Sitting on the fence between resale and new launch? The difference lies in how each holds value over time—not what it costs today. Before making an offer, running it through these frameworks could reveal risks or upside that aren't immediately obvious—and potentially prevent costly mistakes.   00:00 Introduction 02:40 5 year cycle 05:30 TOP Effect 07:40 No COV 08:44 3rd Exit Audience 09:31 Popular with tenants 09:51 New Design & Low renovation cost 10:21 Progressive payment 11:11 SSD / Black out period 14:00 Brand new lease 16:00 1 year delayed installment 16:18 Defect Warranty 16:43 1st Mover Advantage 18:49 Caveat Emptor - What you see is what you get 19:10 Summary 19:36 2 Types of Disparity Effect Strategy 25:40 2025 | Abnormal inflation to future price expectations by resale sellers 27:00 2028 | Real estate market prediction 27:25 Closing words 28:00 Outtakes

I'm diving into a topic that's been on my mind lately: the idea of "time wealth"—and, just as importantly, "time debt." After coming off a busy stretch like tax season, I often find myself trying to catch up on everything I put on hold, only to realize I'm paying for it in stress, exhaustion, and those lost moments I wish I'd shared with my family. Inspired by insights from Greg McKeown and Ann Laure Lecomte, I reflect on the many faces of time anxiety—from the frantic rush of daily life to worries about the future to that existential feeling that time with my kids and wife is slipping away too fast.  Additionally, I share some perspectives on defining what "time well spent" really means. I hope this creates awareness to be more intentional about your own time, reduces the anxiety that comes with always feeling behind, and reminds you—and myself—that it's never too late to focus on what truly makes us happy.

Jill Locantore, Executive Director of the Denver Streets Partnership (DSP), joined co-hosts Divya Gandhi and Em Hall at the 2025 National Planning Conference in Denver to discuss how Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) can be a key tool for achieving Denver's Vision Zero goals. This Critical Conversation in Transportation Planning dives deep into the political, cultural, and social challenges inherent to transforming corridors from car-centric to bike and pedestrian-friendly. From traffic calming and street design to Denver's bold efforts to prioritize buses and pedestrian safety, Jill unpacks how a truly safe city starts with valuing people over cars. Under Jill's leadership, DSP has helped to advocate for and implement policies that promote a transit-centered approach to improving traffic safety. The organization has been instrumental in convening multiple community stakeholders with a common goal of transforming Colfax Avenue, the “longest, wickedest street in America,” into a major arterial that supports the city's ambitious Vision Zero goals of eliminating traffic fatalities and serious injuries by 2030.

In this episode of the REB Business Empowerment Showcase, host Liam Garman is joined by NAB professional services banking executive Donna Kosiek and Harcourts Property Centre managing director and principal Sam Devlin to explore one of the most important – yet often overlooked – drivers of sustainable growth in Australian real estate: succession planning. With a strategic approach and the right support, succession planning is transforming how real estate leaders future-proof their businesses while empowering the next generation of owners and operators. Donna shares how succession isn't just about stepping away from a business, rather it's about building something that lasts, using equity exchanges to bring in talent, reward loyalty, and drive expansion. For Sam, this approach has been a game changer. Since joining forces with Aaron Brooks, Harcourts Property Centre has grown from one office to operating across 12 locations, with a team of 200. He shares how the firm's clear cultural values have helped align shareholders and build a cohesive, high-performing team. The conversation dives deep into the practicalities of passing the baton, from financial governance and cultural fit to the mental shift required to move from rapid growth to sustainable profitability. With NAB's expert support, Sam's team has successfully navigated the complexities of succession while setting the business up for long-term success. Tune in now to discover why planning for tomorrow is one of the smartest moves a real estate leader can make today. Enjoy the podcast, The REB team

I have been a teacher for 19 years in the DeKalb County School District, with nine years in the middle school setting, teaching all sciences and ten years at the high school level, teaching general and accelerated chemistry, AP chemistry, and forensic science. I earned my B.S. in chemistry from Xavier University of Louisiana, master's from Keller Graduate School in information systems, and an M.Ed. and Ed.S. in instructional technology from Kennesaw State University. I am a firm believer in leveraging my technology expertise to support my fellow peers while developing my students' skills. I have facilitated various professional development initiatives over the past decade. I have also presented at multiple levels, including both instructional technology and educational research conferences, at the local, state, national, and international levels.   During my tenure in my local school district, I was named Star Teacher in 2019, Stephenson High School's Teacher of the Year 2023- 2024, and the DeKalb County School District's High School Teacher of the Year 2023-2024. I have been granted the Explore Learning Leadership Award for Implementation in 2015 and 2016. I also earned the KSU's Bagwell Scholar Award in Spring 2022 while earning my specialist degree. I was also honored in the Georgia Senate with a Resolution for Stephenson's Teacher of the Year in 2024. I am currently a doctoral candidate at Kennesaw State University, maintaining a 4.0 GPA throughout my studies.   In my free time, I enjoy reading, listening to an eclectic array of music, spending time with my family and friends, and traveling whenever possible.   I was affected by Hurricane Katrina and had to take my last semester classes at Spelman College and Georgia State University. I must give credit where it's due. I successfully completed my BS while navigating that bump in the road, and I also pursued a doctoral degree while experiencing the loss of my sister and, subsequently, my father within 18 months.   Chapters 00:00 Introduction and Setting the Stage 02:50 Meet Ashley Thomas: A Journey in Education 05:42 The Decision to Join the Program 10:28 The Value of Community and Support 15:04 Navigating Personal Challenges 19:01 Experiencing the Writing Retreat 24:02 Investing in Your Future 24:31 Investing in Yourself 25:22 The Power of Community and Support 27:28 Planning for Success 30:31 The Importance of Outcome-Driven Goals 32:03 The Value of Group Coaching 35:19 Embracing Support and Vulnerability 39:08 Commitment to the Process 42:55 Taking the Leap: Just Do It

What exactly is a trust, and do you really need one? Attorneys Haley Matson and Jane Dearwester tackle these questions head-on in our latest episode, breaking down complex legal concepts into practical, actionable information.Think of a trust as a private container for your assets with specific instructions attached. Unlike the common misconception that trusts are exclusively for the wealthy, they serve numerous practical purposes for everyday people. Single parents protecting inheritances for minor children, individuals with disabled family members, business owners safeguarding their enterprises, and property owners with real estate in multiple states all benefit significantly from trust planning.We explore how trusts offer superior asset protection compared to traditional wills, helping shield your hard-earned resources from creditors and providing controlled distribution to beneficiaries. For those concerned about potential long-term care needs, specialized trusts can help preserve assets while qualifying for government benefits. Most importantly, trusts give you remarkable control over your legacy - allowing you to specify not just who receives your assets, but how and when they receive them.Not everyone needs a trust, and that's okay too. The key is understanding your unique situation and planning accordingly. Whether you're concerned about protecting minor children, managing complex assets, or simply want to avoid probate, this episode provides the foundational knowledge you need to make informed decisions about your estate planning.

When you're navigating grief, job loss, divorce, or any major life disruption, the last thing you need is pressure to maintain your normal productivity levels. Yet so many women beat themselves up because they "just can't get it all done anymore" during these difficult seasons. The truth is, you're not supposed to be getting it all done right now, and it's time to completely rewrite the rules of how you manage your time during grief and major life changes.Society subtly tries to time-box our grief with limited bereavement policies and expectations to "bounce back" after a week or two. But grief doesn't work on anyone else's timeline, and your planning system needs to flex with your reality, not fight against it. In this episode, I share the simple three-step approach I used during my own season of profound grief, plus practical strategies for honoring your energy levels while letting go of perfectionist expectations.In This Episode, I'll Cover:Why you're not supposed to "get it all done" during griefThe three-step weekly planning process for difficult seasonsHow to assess commitments honestly without guiltWhy you can't go back to your "old normal" (and why that's okay)Practical ways to lower the bar and ask for help________________________________

There can't be many people in the world who've saved lives in hospital emergency rooms and also helped care for the wellbeing of astronauts in space – but Kevin Fong's career has followed a singular path: from astrophysics and trauma medicine, to working with NASA, to becoming an Air Ambulance doctor.Kevin is a consultant anaesthetist and professor of public engagement and innovation at University College London. He's worked on the front line in hospitals, dealing with major incidents and helping shape policy; but he's also stayed true to his childhood passion for space, working on multiple projects with NASA and even going through the astronaut application process himself. As if that wasn't enough, he's also become a well-known figure in science broadcasting through his various radio and TV shows.Speaking to Professor Jim Al-Khalili, Kevin admits it hasn't always been an easy path – but his passion for both space and medicine have got him through. And today, he's channelling his energies into ensuring we protect the NHS's most precious commodity: its staff.Presented by Jim Al-Khalili Produced by Lucy TaylorThis programme was a BBC Studios Audio prouction for Radio 4.
