Spencer Hakimian says while Friday's PCE data was mostly in-line with expectations, he's concerned about the slow uptrend in year-over-year numbers that may make it harder to justify a rate cut if inflation is rising. He also points to the unusual pressure surrounding the Federal Reserve from the White House and as Jerome Powell's term as Fed Chair comes to a close next year. Spencer says tariffs can either be absorbed by consumers, companies or foreign producers and Americans should brace for higher prices passed down. He says the A.I. supercycle is "saving" this market right now and lifting spending among tech companies but he cautions that these cycles don't last forever.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – / schwabnetwork Follow us on Facebook – / schwabnetwork Follow us on LinkedIn - / schwab-network About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about

This episode is a repost of Jake's appearance on the Street Smart Success Podcast, hosted by Roger Becker. You can learn more about Street Smart Success here - https://www.streetsmartsuccess.com/ Jake shares his journey from working in his family's hotel business to building a portfolio of unique, experience-driven hotels. The conversation explores why commoditized limited-service hotels have become riskier assets, and why independent lifestyle hotels are now some of the most defensible real estate investments. Jake also explains DoveHill's current focus on preferred equity and bespoke equity investments, the operational insights that drive performance, and the long-term value of brand, location, and customer experience in the hospitality sector. We discuss: Why limited-service hotels are becoming riskier due to oversupply and commoditization How Jake evaluates hotel investments through revenue, profit, and guest satisfaction The value of great operators and how they can distinguish themselves with food and beverage, accounting, and margin control Why DoveHill is shifting away from new development and instead prioritizing preferred equity and opportunistic repositioning The importance of humility, persistence, and attention to detail in long-term success This episode is ideal for anyone investing in or operating within the hospitality space who wants a deeper understanding of today's market dynamics.

Fletcher and Chad dive deep into one of the most critical and often overlooked challenges in scaling a commercial construction business: taking the estimating hat off the owner's head. They explore: Why owners must eventually delegate estimating to scale effectively. The two main paths: grow an estimator internally vs. recruit one from a competitor. Growing your own estimators: Preferred degrees, expected timeline (3–5 years), and how to differentiate between technical estimating and executive pricing strategy. When to hold on to pricing and sales as an owner even after hiring an estimator. Outsourcing and offshoring estimating work: what works for trades, what doesn't for GCs, and how relationships remain key. How to attract experienced talent from competitors: understanding the top 3 gripes they have—compensation, lack of influence, and burnout in “bid factories.” Recruiting strategies: From warm outreach and pain-point probing to long-game relationship building with high ROI. Key Takeaways: Investing in the right estimator—whether a junior you train or a seasoned pro—can unlock millions in revenue growth. Don't confuse estimating with pricing or sales. Each has a distinct role and impact. Treat outsourced/offshored team members like internal staff: communicate, manage, and integrate them thoughtfully. Pay and empower your estimators—they're often your #1 revenue generator.

The Break Room (THURSDAY 7/3/25) 6am Hour 1) Why does it seem the East Side has taken over the Rochester bakery game 2) Bobcat season 3) An honest review

Ricochet Co-Founder Rob Long is in for Jim today. Join Rob and Greg for another round of the 3 Martini Lunch as they break down two major Supreme Court decisions, get Rob's thoughts as a longtime New York resident on the rise of Zohran Mamdani, and the one-year anniversary of the disastrous debate that ended Joe Biden's political career.First, they cheer a Supreme Court decision empowering parents to opt their children out of classroom instruction that promotes the LGBT agenda. The ruling affirms parental rights in education and sheds more light on activist agendas in public schools. Rob also offers a deal to teachers intent on pushing a progressive cultural agenda, but Greg isn't buying it. They also approve of the Supreme Court largely restraining federal district court judges from issuing orders that impact the entire nation.Next, Rob weighs in on New York City Democrats choosing Zohran Mamdani for mayor. As a longtime resident of the city, Rob says it's nothing new for voters there to choose "a crackpot, left-wing incompetent," but he is surprised they picked one so obvious. Rob explains how even parts of the Mamdani agenda would ruin the city and what his highest hopes for the next four years would be.Finally, they reflect upon the one-year anniversary of President Biden imploding any chances of re-election with his awful debate performance. Rob and Greg remember the most telling moments of the debate, the tumultuous aftermath, and how the White House and its media allies tried to cover up what more than two-thirds of Americans already knew. They also discuss the details of the Biden cover-up that we still need to know.Please visit our great sponsors:It's free, online, and easy to start—no strings attached.
