Jeremy Lee, Joe Poirot, Ryan Veres of Burbank Sports Cards, and later Leighton Sheldon of Just Collect, moving from shop philosophy into what the market feels like right now in real time. Ryan explains why Southern California is, in his view, the best sports card market in the world, how Burbank became what it is through family roots that go back generations, and why the West Coast Card Show matters beyond revenue: it gives the region a true destination event that pulls collectors and dealers from all over. From there, we get into how a massive operation stays tight. Ryan talks checks and balances, logging purchases, accounting flow, and a core principle that sellers should get paid instantly. He also shares a behind-the-scenes experiment he's building: real time wax pricing using electronic signage that can update like a gas station, with the goal of transparency and keeping prices fair as markets move. The conversation also tackles the “priced out of the hobby” narrative. Ryan breaks down how Rob constantly builds value sections like vintage boxes, $10-and-under, and $100-and-under showcases so collectors can still walk out happy without needing big money. Then the guys get into dealer reality: how “percentage” buying questions miss the point, when a dealer might pay what looks like full market on the right card, and why having a small, controlled high end vault can help facilitate major trade ups for customers. We close with what's hot right now. Leighton shares what he's seeing at the Philly Show, from the usual heavy hitters like Mantle, Jackie, Old Judge, and Jordan, to the truth that even seven copies of the same card still might not be the right copy for one buyer. Ryan talks modern demand for rare, high eye appeal cards that do not surface often, some hockey pickup momentum with Cup season, and what actually sells fast in a shop like Burbank. And one more collector nuance that matters: faded autos. Ryan explains why shops treat them as damaged, Leighton explains why he often avoids them entirely, and Joe adds the collector perspective on curating out anything that does not hold up visually.

In this episode of The MHP Broker's Tips and Tricks Closing Cocktail podcast, Maxwell Baker, president of The Mobile Home Park Broker, interviewed The MHP Broker Eric Wanck about his Shell Way Mobile Home Park transaction near Knoxville. As with every Tips and Tricks podcast episode, this one is brought to you by The MHP Broker's proprietary Community Price Maximizer. Use this four-step system to get the highest price possible for your mobile home park or RV community when you sell it through The MHP Broker. Guaranteed. Call Max for details. Here are the Show Highlights This deal was a smaller transaction than what the team typically takes to market, and with the park needing a heavy lift, Eric wasn't sure what to expect. But within just two weeks of launching, multiple offers came in over asking price, driven by the property's location, upside, and city utilities. (Max & Eric, 01:17) The park sat outside the Knoxville MSA but still drew strong interest due to its proximity to the Gatlinburg area and its overall desirability. Investors saw strong value despite the park's size and condition. (Eric, 01:51) There was no fallout after the bidding process. The first buyer who went under contract made it all the way to closing thanks to proper buyer qualification and a smooth due diligence period. (Eric, 02:24) The deal ultimately closed all cash, prompting Max's callback that it closed "caaaash money, y'all," reflecting The MHP Broker's ability to attract serious, ready-to-close buyers. (Max, 03:02) Investor demand is so strong in this Knoxville/Gatlinburg corridor that Eric joked he wished he could find "six more" parks just like it for eager buyers. (Eric, 03:49) From launch to close, the deal moved quickly—closing in just 45 days—showing the surprising strength of the market's response. (Eric, 04:08) Max wrapped up the episode by highlighting The MHP Broker's 86% first-to-contract close ratio, driven by impeccable upfront due diligence. "Problems don't kill deals; surprises do." (Max, 04:59) Power Quotes "This deal… was surprisingly really, really sexy." (Max, 0:22) "Within two weeks we had multiple offers above asking… location and upside were everything." (Eric, 01:52) "The first buyer closed—smooth as butter." (Eric, 02:24) "It closed straight up… 'caaaash money, y'all." (Max, 03:02) "I just wish I could find six more of these up there." (Eric, 03:49) "We get deals sold—fast, the first time." (Max, 04:59) "Problems don't kill deals. Surprises do." (Max, 04:59) 00:00 Hello and welcome to the Mobile Home Park Brokers' tips and tricks. This is the podcast where we talk about mobile home park investing because that's what we've been involved in for the last decade. Let's dive into today's episode. Here is your host, Maxwell Baker. 00:22 Maxwell Baker Hey y'all. Welcome to another beautiful episode of the Mobile Home Park Brokers Tips and tricks podcast. As always, this episode is brought to you by the Community Price Maximizer. No pun intended there, it just actually happened to be named that. It is your proprietary system that will guarantee you a higher price when you exclusively list with us. Call us (678) 932-0200 and we will get you that price that you have dreamed of. Especially right now. The market is booming here at the end of 2025. But we are here to celebrate that Eric Wank just closed this deal, Shell Way, right outside Knoxville. Eric, welcome to the show. Congrats again on a closing, but damn, dude, this deal like was surprisingly real, really, really sexy. You had a tonne of people really getting into this deal, right? 01:17 Eric Wanck Yeah, yeah, no, thank you. One of my favourite things to get on here and talk about closing, closing property, and you're right, you know, this was an interesting deal from the start, a little bit of a smaller transaction size than we typically take to market repeat client though on our end and we said, hey, sure, no problem, we'll take this on for you and it was outside the Knoxville MSA probably certainly within a couple hour drive of the Gatlinburg area, very beautiful area of the country, and to be honest, taking this out to market, I wasn't sure what to expect. 01:51 Maxwell Baker Yeah 01:52 Eric Wanck Just given how much of a heavy lift this park needed and the size of the park, but within, I would say within 2 weeks we had multiple offers above asking price… 02:06 Maxwell Baker Yeah 02:07 Eric Wanck …which just showed that location, upside, two real big things right there, and it was on city water and sewer, which of course always helps when investors are looking at parks. 02:20 Maxwell Baker Yeah, man, tell us about the first time you put it under contract, we closed on it, right? 02:25 Eric Wanck That's right 02:24 Maxwell Baker There wasn't a fallout or anything? 02:26 Eric Wanck Yeah, no, we, we went through the bidding process with the highest and best, and, and those folks ended up closing. So, very smooth in that aspect, and that's what we want to see is qualifying, who we're bringing to the table and, and making sure that they get to the finish line the first time so we're not having to do it over and over but yeah, no, it was very smooth. 02:45 Maxwell Baker Yeah, man and it closed caaaash money. I remember some of these guys that I've worked with in the past. I think it was Frank Roth that mentioned it. He's like this guy in this mobile home park that he owned, said that, he would sell him his mobile home for 4000 caaash money. 03:02 Eric Wanck (laughs) 03:03 Maxwell Baker And, this deal closed, to quote that guy, caaaash money, y'all. So, if you need; if you've got a deal and you're looking for that cash money. That's, that's what happened here. Eric was able to pull, to pull from another podcast we just did, another rabbit out of the hat. We have a whole stable of rabbits here, because of all the magicians we have, AKA Eric Wank, pulling rabbits out of the hat and this deal was one of those. I mean, he got it done all cash, got it. Priced competitively, had it bid above market what we took it out, yeah, the seller was happy! Buyer was happy! Dude, any closing comments on this? 03:49 Eric Wanck Hey, I just wish I could find 6 more up there and I; 03:52 Maxwell Baker Oh, I know, seriously, right? (laughs) 03:54 Eric Wanck Probably some people listening that are, that are saying, yeah, no problem, Eric, send them my way, and I'm happy to do so as well, you know, that's, we are targeting a lot of these MSA areas, and that is obviously a pretty hot one given the activity we had on it, so. 04:07 Maxwell Baker Yeah 04:08 Eric Wanck But yeah, no, it's a very surprising deal from the, the onset, putting it to market. I really, I thought we were gonna be sitting, to be honest with you, but here we go, 45 days later, we were closed. 04:20 Maxwell Baker Let's go, baby. All right, y'all. Eric, thanks for jumping on the podcast with us here. Congrats on the closing! and y'all give him a call. He is the All-Star magician so far this year, top producer. You can reach him at (678) 932-0200. You've got deals, you've got beautiful deals, you got hairy deals, you've got development deals. We are the organisation that will get it sold and usually we get it sold really quickly and then the first time we don't fall. Most of our competition falls in and out of contract 10 times before they actually sell your park. 04:59 We have a high first to contract close ratio of 86%. That means when we put your park under contract, 86% of the time with the first buyer that we bring you, when you exclusively list with us, is going to close on your deal. No other competitors can, can tout that. We are the biggest firm that can do that, and Eric is a shining example here that was able to do that is because we do impeccable due diligence upfront on all of our exclusive listings. That way, you know, problems don't kill deals, but surprises do and we figure out what all The variables are so that way when we do put it on a contract, we've already got answers to all the problems. So, give us a call 678-932-0200. Happy to chat. Happy to talk high level. Ask for Eric Wanck. He is the man here at the firm and Eric, thanks for being here, buddy. Let's keep moving forward!

Determining value has always been subjective, but as price discovery transitions into the digital world, society faces a future of constantly adjusting prices. The evolution of commerce from bartering to coinage to digital has pushed society further away from each other and into a reality where prices could be controlled by artificial intelligence.As talk of a new 50-year mortgage is making waves, people are being squeezed beyond their means just to attempt to catch the “American Dream” as it passes them by. Private equity groups are buying blue-collar companies that cash flow, then jacking up prices as they rent-seek in a world of diminishing returns. It won't be long until the torches & pitchforks are no longer available at a reasonable price.—Watch the video version on one of the Macroaggressions Channels:Rumble: https://rumble.com/c/Macroaggressions YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@MacroaggressionsPodcast—MACRO & Charlie Robinson LinksHypocrazy Audiobook: https://amzn.to/4aogwmsThe Octopus of Global Control Audiobook: https://amzn.to/3xu0rMmWebsite: www.Macroaggressions.io Merch Store: https://macroaggressions.dashery.com/ Link Tree: https://linktr.ee/macroaggressionspodcast—Activist Post FamilyActivist Post: www.ActivistPost.com Natural Blaze: www.NaturalBlaze.com —Support Our SponsorsC60 Power: https://go.shopc60.com/PBGRT/KMKS9/ | Promo Code: MACROChemical Free Body: https://chemicalfreebody.com/macro/ | Promo Code: MACROWise Wolf Gold & Silver: https://macroaggressions.gold/ | (800) 426-1836LegalShield: www.DontGetPushedAround.com EMP Shield: www.EMPShield.com | Promo Code: MACROChristian Yordanov's Health Program: www.LiveLongerFormula.com/macro Above Phone: https://abovephone.com/macro/Van Man: https://vanman.shop/?ref=MACRO | Promo Code: MACROThe Dollar Vigilante: https://dollarvigilante.spiffy.co/a/O3wCWenlXN/4471 Nesa's Hemp: www.NesasHemp.com | Promo Code: MACROAugason Farms: https://augasonfarms.com/MACRO —

7/8. The Snowy Egret, The Emperor Penguin, and the Climate Canary — Steven Moss — Moss describes the beautiful Snowy Egret, nearly driven to extinction during 19th-century "plumage wars," when its feathers, priced equivalently to gold, were harvested for women's millinery fashion. Moss emphasizes that the resulting systemic cruelty toward birds catalyzed women to establish conservation organizations including the Audubon Society. Moss identifies climate change as the current existential threat, exemplified by the Emperor Penguin, facing projected 98% extinction by 2100 due to habitat loss from sea ice decline. Moss characterizes the penguin, alongside migratory warblers affected by phenological mismatches with earlier insect emergence, as a "miner's canary" providing early warning of impending ecological and climate catastrophe confronting humanity. 1914

Send us a textGood morning from Pharma Daily: the podcast that brings you the most important developments in the pharmaceutical and biotech world. Today, we're diving into a landscape rich with scientific innovation, regulatory scrutiny, and strategic business decisions shaping the future of healthcare.Let's begin with Novartis, which has achieved a significant milestone by securing FDA approval for Itvisma. This is an intrathecal formulation of its gene therapy Zolgensma, designed to treat older patients with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA). Priced at $2.59 million, this approval is a critical advancement in gene therapy for SMA, broadening the treatment horizon for a wider patient demographic. Gene therapies are increasingly crucial in addressing rare genetic disorders, offering transformative potential in patient care. Novartis's SMA market expansion post-FDA approval of Itvisma not only enhances its SMA portfolio but also signifies growing acceptance towards gene therapies as viable treatment options for genetic disorders. Meanwhile, Novartis is strategically restructuring, planning to cut 550 jobs at a Swiss plant by 2027 while expanding its workforce in North Carolina. This move reflects broader industry trends toward optimizing global operations and investing in regions with strategic manufacturing capabilities.In the sphere of regulatory scrutiny, lawmakers are questioning the FDA's National Priority Voucher Program amid concerns about corruption and expedited reviews. This situation highlights ongoing challenges within regulatory frameworks to balance innovation speed with rigorous safety assessments. An investigation into the FDA's new priority review voucher program has been initiated due to concerns over corruption and expedited review processes potentially compromising drug safety. This inquiry could influence future regulatory frameworks and underscores balancing accelerated drug approvals with rigorous safety standards. Richard Pazdur expressed concerns about expedited drug approval programs' safety and legality as he takes on his new role as director of the FDA's Center for Drug Evaluation and Research. These initiatives aim to accelerate drug reviews but spark debate over patient safety implications—underscoring an ongoing tension between innovation speed and regulatory diligence.Turning to Novo Nordisk, their expansion of the Amycretin program demonstrates a commitment to tackling chronic conditions like diabetes. Following promising Phase 2 data showcasing dual agonist capabilities, Novo Nordisk is advancing pivotal trials focused on obesity. This strategic pivot aligns with market needs and scientific discoveries that could significantly enhance diabetes management options. Further emphasizing Novo Nordisk's commitment to diabetes management, their expansion of the amycretin program after promising Phase 2 results demonstrates the efficacy of a dual agonist originally focused on obesity. This underscores a trend toward multifunctional biologics addressing metabolic disorders by targeting multiple pathways—indicative of broader industry shifts towards integrated therapeutic approaches. Novo Nordisk's recent mid-stage clinical trial results for Amycretin—a weight loss treatment—are noteworthy as they demonstrated sustained efficacy over 36 weeks in type 2 diabetes patients without a plateau in weight loss. Analysts highlight its potential as a superior therapeutic option in the burgeoning weight loss market due to its durable solution for weight management.On a contrasting note, SK Life Science encounters regulatory hurdles as the FDA scrutinizes advertising practices related to its antiseizure medication Xcopri. This scenario underscores the complex interplay between marketing strategies and regulatory compliance within the pharmaceuticSupport the show
Adam Negri believes real estate is the easiest business in the world. In his view, anyone can do it. There is no get-rich-quick angle, just a simple formula: buy a few solid properties each year, stay patient, and before long you'll own a few million dollars' worth of real estate.On this episode, Adam walks through exactly how he built his portfolio following that approach. He explains why he focuses on straightforward residential rentals in working-class neighborhoods, why he avoids office and retail, and why he only invests within a short drive of home.Adam also shares why patience is one of the most important skills for investors, why buying too many properties at once can backfire, and why he is very cautious with leverage.https://rentalincomepodcast.com/episode549Thanks To Our Sponsors:Ridge Lending Group - Making investment Mortgage process simple and stress-free.MidSouth HomeBuyers – Turnkey Rentals In Memphis & Little Rock.

Peso Pluma BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.In the past few days Peso Pluma has been everywhere, making headlines across music news and social media thanks to a trio of impactful developments. The most widely circulated and potentially career-defining news concerns his role as a top-billed performer at the 2026 College Football Playoff National Championship weekend in Miami. According to a College Football Playoff press release and further reported by Pollstar, Peso Pluma was announced as the headlining Latin act at the AT&T Playoff Playlist Live concert on January 18, sharing the spotlight with global music stars Calvin Harris, John Summit, Latin Mafia, and Greeicy. The highly publicized weekend of free concerts on Miami Beach positions Peso Pluma not just as a musical force but a cultural icon on the world stage—a fact amplified as the event will draw massive national and Latin American media exposure.Social media reaction to the College Football Playoff news has been swift and exuberant. Fans on Instagram, X, and TikTok have begun posting anticipation videos, outfit planning reels, and tribute dances using event hashtags like CFBPlayoff and ATTPlaylistLive. In both English and Spanish-speaking fan circles Peso Pluma is being touted as the Latin artist to watch, with users speculating about possible surprise collaborations during his Miami Beach performance. Alongside this public appearance news Peso Pluma also made waves with a high-profile music release. As Hola! and Uproxx report, on November 20 he dropped a dramatic new single and music video titled Intro—a collaboration with his cousin Tito Double P. This track, praised for returning to musica Mexicana roots, arrives with a cinematic visual narrative featuring acclaimed Mexican actress Kate del Castillo. Critics and outlets alike have called it one of Pluma's most striking works, both for its artistic scope and cultural messaging. On the business front Peso Pluma expanded his brand with a limited edition hoodie, as reported by phc.com.kw. Priced affordably and selling briskly, the drop was intentionally timed with his headline-grabbing week, proving that he understands both music and merchandising as engines for his growing mogul status.There were no verified reports of major controversies or negative news in the past week. Speculation briefly circulated on fan channels about a possible surprise guest at Miami and about his recovery since the summer's foot injury at Governors Ball, but these remain rumors with no official statements.All signs point to Peso Pluma locking in his run as both a music innovator and Latin cultural ambassador, further cementing his legacy during one of the most pivotal periods of his young career.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

It's a long list and can be tedious to listen to. So this year we decided to search out what we thought were the best deals on various items for your Home Theater and Smart Home. This year many retailers are not releasing their sales until the last minute and since we are recording one week before Black Friday our list may be missing a few items that pop up later. But here is our early list of things we think you will be interested in: The standout deal for the largest screen size at the lowest price is the 98-inch TCL Q Series 4K QLED Google TV at Walmart for $998 (down from $1,798, saving $800).

Hisense has a slightly more expensive model that hits that magic 100" mark. The 100-inch Hisense QLEDs (priced between $1,000–$1,200) delivers the biggest diagonal size for the cheapest absolute dollar amount right now.

SECOND HOUR 10-1015 Charles Burton Charles Burton discusses his book, The Beaver and the Dragon, illustrating China's fundamental untrustworthiness and statistical manipulation, which has intensified under centralized leadership, noting Canada's past cooperation with China's National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) failed as officials often falsely reported data, and despite historical deception and security risks, there is a push in Canada to increase trade with China to offset trade issues with the United States, with Burton cautioning that trusting the Chinese Communist Party has always "gone badly wrong." 1015-1030 CONTINUED. 1030-1045 Jonathan Schanzer Jonathan Schanzer discusses Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MBS), calling him a deeply flawed but essential leader driving Saudi modernization and normalization with Israel, with a "pathway to a Palestinian state" as the current diplomatic objective, emphasizing that resolving the Gaza situation and achieving broader peace hinges on eliminating Hamas, while the region faces long-term challenges from Iran and Turkey, the latter complicating Israel's security operations in chaotic Syria, with the UN endorsement of the Trump 20-point plan for Gaza reconstruction considered a landmark win. 1045-1100 CONTINUED CONTINUED KING CHARLES THIRD HOUR 1100-1115 Gregory Copley Gregory Copley discusses the US military presence off Venezuela, noting President Trump seeks a negotiated outcome with Maduro to avoid long-term intervention, covers Mohammed bin Salman's influence in the Abraham Accords and the challenge posed by Turkey-backed Hamas, analyzes the symbolic rail sabotage in Poland questioning Russian involvement, and addresses the declining viability of NATO's Article 5 and the potential for King Charles III to intervene in UK political chaos. 1115-1130 CONTINUED MBS 1130-1145 CONTINUED KING CHARLES 1145-1200 CONTINUED FOURTH HOUR 12-1215 Mary Kissel Mary Kissel addresses three foreign policy dilemmas: regarding Venezuela, the US military buildup is seen as leverage to force dialogue with Maduro following a successful playbook used against North Korea; in Europe, she notes a dichotomy between committed Eastern European states and "weaker lazier" Western powers regarding support for Ukraine; and the China dilemma involves whether to treat Beijing as a legitimate trading partner or an enemy narco-terrorist state responsible for exporting fentanyl precursors, with Kissel suggesting current US policy is confused and benefits the CCP. 1215-1230 1230-1245 oseph Sternberg Joseph Sternberg analyzes the BBC political bias scandal, which is significant because the BBC is "omnipresent" and arranges the "mental furniture for British society," noting the BBC, funded largely by a mandatory license fee, faced allegations ranging from deceptive editing of President Trump's remarks to the Arabic service pushing Hamas propaganda potentially fueling anti-Semitism, while domestically discussing the UK Labour Party's dilemma over controversial immigration policies to control illegal channel crossings, a crisis that has strengthened Nigel Farage's Reform party. 1245-100 AM

Join Here: https://ow.ly/msoH50WCu0KJoin Analytic Dreamz as he unpacks DISPATCH, the breakout 2025 episodic superhero comedy that sold over 1 million copies in its first 10 days and instantly became a GOTY contender. Developed by AdHoc Studio (ex-Telltale and Ubisoft talent), this anime-styled interactive series follows depowered hero Robert “Mecha Man” Robertson III (Aaron Paul) running the Superhero Dispatch Network in an alternate LA, assigning reformed villains to crises via real-time strategy dispatching and high-stakes hacking minigames.After a brutal 7-year development filled with COVID shutdowns, layoffs, skipped paychecks, and a near-death collapse, Critical Role Productions swooped in mid-2025 to fund Season 1, merch, comics, and future Exandria projects. Launched October 22, 2025 across PC (Steam) and PS5 with weekly two-episode drops, the complete 8-episode season wrapped November 12. Priced at $29.99 (Deluxe with artbook + comics), it peaked at 131K concurrent players, hit Steam global #1, and smashed its 3-year “bull case” sales goal in just three months.Analytic Dreamz breaks down the innovative AFK-able dispatch system, branching dialogue, hero synergies and rivalries, the star-packed voice cast (Laura Bailey, Travis Willingham, Jacksepticeye, MoistCr1TiKaL, Alanah Pearce, Yung Gravy + Matthew Mercer as Shroud), stunning pre-rendered animation by Igloo Studio, 19 accessibility options, and why the “interactive TV” pacing feels like peak Arcane meets The Boys.Despite minor launch bugs (quickly patched) and criticisms around episode length and illusion-of-choice moments, DISPATCH earned 89–90 Metacritic, 97% Steam positive (50K+ reviews), and universal praise for writing, emotional depth, comedy, and revitalizing the Telltale episodic formula. Community hype, influencer cast virality, and Critical Role crossover fueled massive weekly discourse and “Invisigal cleared” memes.With developers openly teasing Season 2 and Aaron Paul leaving the door “definitely ajar,” Analytic Dreamz analyzes if DISPATCH just saved and redefined narrative gaming in 2025.

What happens when life throws you a curveball that threatens your home, your finances, and your future? This week, join your host Corwyn J. Melette as he dives deep into the story of survival, perseverance, and success with this week's guest, Mike Russell, founder of Hope 4 Hardship and Certified Distressed Property Expert. Mike shares his raw experience of corporate and personal bankruptcy, foreclosure, and family disputes, and reveals the critical steps to take before crisis hits. Whether you're navigating the aftermath of COVID-related payment struggles or just looking for a financial safety net, this two-part episode offers invaluable, tangible advice on controlling your reaction and securing your future.Key Takeaways:2:35 Mike Russell's Background: Mike shares his 30-year journey in real estate, including his personal experience with foreclosure, divorce, and multiple bankruptcies, which led him to start his non-profit.7:26 Control Your Reaction: The pivotal lesson: you have no control over how entities react, but you have control over how you react to their reaction. Mike admits his failure to do this led him to bury his head in the sand and ignore creditors.9:45 You Are in Sales Mode with the Bank: Mike outlines the need to put together an "outstanding application for assistance" to convince the lender you are a "viable bet" to resume normal payments.12:03 The Partial Claim Mortgage (FHA Loans): Mike details the "gold standard" retention option where HUD pays the arrearage and holds it as a 0% interest, silent second mortgage, allowing the consumer to keep their original, low-interest loan terms.14:49 Hardship Must Be Proven Over: Mike emphasizes that to be considered for assistance, you must not only prove hardship but, more importantly, prove that the financial hardship is over and your income is sufficient.17:58 The Frivolous Spending Warning: Mike stresses that if bank statements show frivolous spending (like trips while claiming hardship), the bank will not deem the applicant responsible, and the assistance application will likely be denied.Tune in next week for Part 2 as Corwyn J. Melette and Mike Russell continue the conversation, diving deeper into specific strategies and how to effectively navigate the retention and non-retention options offered by lenders. Mike will walk you step-by-step through the legal timeline and pitfalls of foreclosure.Connect with Mike:Contact Number: (508) 728-6465Website: Help4hardship.orgEmail Address: Mike@hope4hardship.orgLinkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mike-russell-3395baa/Connect with Corwyn:Contact Number: 843-619-3005Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/exitstrategiesradioshow/FB Page: https://www.facebook.com/exitstrategiessc/Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxoSuynJd5c4qQ_eDXLJaZAWebsite: https://www.exitstrategiesradioshow.comLinkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/cmelette/Shoutout to our Sponsor: Country Boy HomesDo you remember your grandma's front porch?
