On this week of the Jay Pitts Show, we're kicking things off with a rant about UofL football after the Cardinals suffered a tough 30–27 loss to Wake Forest last weekend.Then we're diving into a debate happening in the real estate world: should Realtors start charging for showings and offering other services à la carte? We share our thoughts on where the industry could be headed, what clients should actually be paying for, and why the way agents carry themselves online matters more than ever.Finally, we break down what's happening with mortgage rates and discuss how the economy, government policy, and the broader political environment can influence where rates go next—and what all of it means for buyers, sellers, and Realtors trying to navigate today's market.Submit your questions for Jay and Ryan to answer on the podcast here!

With mortgage rates surpassing 7%, it's created a ripple effect within the housing market for buyers, sellers, and even the industries that are directly tied to housing such as bankers, builders, and insurance professionals. Host Gene Marks says it's not time to panic but it's time to plan and budget and be strategic. Switching to retirement, there should be a little panic, especially after a report came out that shows 76.2 million U.S. workers lack access to an employer-sponsored workplace retirement plan. Learn what Gene has to say about the benefits for owners and workers if a 401(k) plan is in place. In AI news, the tech struggled with a finance test as only 43% got answers right.

Porirua's mayor says she's grumpy on behalf of ratepayers, over a lawsuit around the Moa Point plant failure. Greater Wellington Council has pressed charges against Tiaki Wai water company and the city council - alleging illegal wastewater discharges. Anita Baker says ratepayers will get hit twice for the cost of repairs and lawsuits. She says it didn't have to go down this way. "Why couldn't we just get in a room? Tiaki Wai could have said - yes, we're responsible. They could have hit us with a wet bus ticket and stopped treating the ratepayers like a bank."

Matt Brown spent his career inside the national security world without ever wearing a uniform. He came up through grad school and think tank work in DC, earned a TS/SCI clearance, and landed in the Office of the Secretary of Defense for Policy working the counter-WMD mission. From there he moved to the State Department. In August 2023 he walked into a Senate committee, signed his real name, and became a whistleblower on UAP. His report on a program called Immaculate Constellation was later entered into the congressional record. Today he co-runs Vanguard Enterprise, a nonprofit built to support the people who came forward after him. This conversation covers what pushed him over the edge. He says he saw transcripts showing the director of the Pentagon's UAP office was not telling senators the truth. He explains how the counter-WMD mission gave him a legitimate reason to see collection on objects around nuclear assets, and what he saw on those systems, from small orbs going in and out of water to a large triangle and a boomerang that disappeared behind its own light.  We cover the reality of blowing the whistle inside the IC, the retaliation he describes, and the questions he thinks Congress should be asking now.  Today's Sponsors:  Toehold: https://www.shoptoehold.com Use code "Andy" for 15% off at checkout   Ethos:  Protect your family with life insurance from Ethos.

Mortgage rates have surged toward 7.5%, putting renewed pressure on housing affordability and buyer demand. Steven Thomas and Brennen Thomas examine rising price cuts, additional Federal Reserve rate hikes, and how elevated rates could affect the housing market through the end of 2026.

Rates just hit a 52-week high, and the 10-year Treasury yield jumped to its highest level since 2007. Transactions are down, but they don't go to zero. In this episode of Best Agent Hacks, Tom Toole shares the exact script his team uses to find the people who will move anyway. It's built on Phil Jones' Opening, Fact, Question (OFQ) framework. Here's the call: "Hey Brian, it's Tom Toole with RE/MAX. It's been about 90 days since we last spoke, and I was just curious, is making a move still something you're considering, or have you put that on pause?" Then stop talking. In this video, you'll learn: ✅ How to use your CRM to set up every follow-up call ✅ Why an A/B choice question gets people talking ✅ What to say when a lead says they've "paused" ✅ How to uncover motivation using the D's (death, divorce, relocation, default, diamonds, diapers, downsizing, dogs) ✅ Why you should raise your daily conversation goal from 15 to 20 or 25 in a high-rate market ✅ How to turn the same script into a text and a voicemail follow-up ⏱️ Chapters 0:00 Rates hit a 52-week high 0:21 Transactions don't go to zero 0:45 The OFQ script 1:41 When they say "we paused" 2:02 Qualifying questions and motivation 2:56 Why the OFQ works 3:23 Raise your conversation numbers 4:11 Text, voicemail, and property drips 4:41 The plan The best automation out there is still talking to people.

The 30-year mortgage went from 6.89% to 7.58% in three weeks. Everybody's blaming oil and the war in Iran — but oil dropped 4% the same day rates hit their high, and rates went up anyway. So something else is going on.This episode breaks down what's actually moving rates, why the Texas housing market is doing the opposite of what national headlines claim, and how to set up an AI project so you stop re-explaining your entire business every single morning.WHERE RATES ARE30-Year Fixed Conventional — 7.58%15-Year Fixed Conventional — 7.20%30-Year FHA — 7.24%30-Year VA — 7.25%30-Year Jumbo — 7.60%Market averages per the Mortgage News Daily index as of 9/29/26. Not a quote.Highest the 30-year has been since April 2024. A year ago it was under 6.40%. The last cycle peak, back in late 2023, was around 7.8% — so we're close.WHY IT'S HAPPENINGMortgage rates are built off the 10-year Treasury, currently around 5.25%, plus a spread of roughly 2%. From late February to mid-September the 30-year rose 0.97 points and the 10-year rose 0.97 points — identical to the basis point. The government is borrowing enormous sums and has to pay more to attract lenders. Your mortgage rides on top of that.Matthew Graham at Mortgage News Daily said this week that oil can't explain the move. It's strong economic data, expectations of more strength, and Treasury supply pressure. And that "strong" data is AI and data centers — a handful of companies that make up about a third of the entire stock market. Real growth, just not growth that shows up in anyone's paycheck.TEXAS HOUSING — THE NATIONAL STORY ISN'T OUR STORYTexas closed sales have been running ahead of last year for months. The Texas Real Estate Research Center at Texas A&M says the first half of 2026 gained momentum. Meanwhile:• Statewide median around $343,000, about 0.4% below a year ago• Prices softening 13 consecutive months — flat with a slow leak, not a crash• Inventory around 5.5 months (4–5 is balanced) — buyer territory for the first time since before the pandemic• Typical seller price cut: about $12,000, roughly 3% off list• Homes selling in about 62 days, only two days slower than last yearIS THIS 2008 AGAIN?Peak to trough in the last crisis, Dallas fell 10.5% and Austin fell 8.5%. Las Vegas fell 64%, Phoenix 56%, Miami 52%. Going in, Dallas was about 3% above fundamentals, Houston 5%, and Austin was actually undervalued. Texas never inflated, so there was nothing to give back. Boring lending laws and cheap land — still true today.BUYER TIP — THE PAYMENT ZILLOW SHOWS YOU IS WRONGThree reasons it's off in Texas: taxes pulled from the prior owner's bill (homestead exemptions and over-65 freezes don't transfer), an insurance estimate that's always low for a hail state, and mortgage insurance that depends on loan type, down payment and credit. Stack those and you're a few hundred a month off. Get pre-approved before falling in love with a house — and fully underwritten if the situation is complicated.SELLER TIP — A BETTER MOVE THAN CUTTING YOUR PRICECut $10,000 off a $400,000 house and the buyer's payment improves about $60 a month. It'd take that buyer almost 14 years of $60 to equal what you just handed over. Offer the same $10,000 as a closing cost credit instead — same money out of your pocket, but it lands the day the buyer actually needs it, and you keep your sale price for the appraisal and the comps. Seller credits are capped by loan type and down payment, so confirm the number with a lender before advertising it.MIKE'S MINDHurricane Polo and a possible foot of rain. Abbott's diesel disaster declaration at $5.86 a gallon. Household income falling from 78 ounces of gold in 1990 to 19 today. A record $32,461 for a three-year-old used car. Rent, oddly, behaving itself. The bond market pricing four more hikes by June 2027. And core drilling starting at the Noah's Ark formation in eastern Turkey.AGENT TIP — TURN SHOWING FEEDBACK INTO EVIDENCESixty seconds after every showing, talk it into your phone's AI voice button. One agent saying the kitchen is dated is an opinion. Nine agents saying it is a number you can put in front of your seller.BUILD A PROJECT — THE MAIN EVENTEvery major AI tool has this and most people scroll right past it. The six pieces: title, description, custom instructions, context documents, the SOP, and connectors. Plus the part that matters most — you don't write the procedure, you do the job with the AI open and then tell it to write down what you did. Walkthroughs for four setups: Listings, Buyers, Content, and your own business.THE BUYER PROJECT — FREEI built a project for Texas agents running a buyer through a transaction. TREC forms, the contract, timelines, deadlines, and email templates for every step.

Is trucking finally at the bottom...or are we still digging? Diesel is around $6.53 a gallon. Rates remain under pressure. Capacity keeps leaving. Cash is getting tighter. And trucking has been hearing the same promise for what feels like forever: “THE RECOVERY IS COMING.” Cool....WHEN? On this episode of Brake Check, Charles follows the money with two guests looking at the trucking market from completely different angles.First, John Larkin, Senior Investment Partner at Venture 53, brings decades of transportation and Wall Street experience to the questions every carrier wants answered: Are we finally at the bottom? How many more trucks have to disappear before rates move? Is freight volume or excess capacity the bigger problem? Who breaks first at $6.53 diesel? And when does buying another truck become an investment instead of a really expensive gamble? Then we put $1 MILLION on the table. Trucking capacity, Freight technology, Brokerage, Warehousing, or cash. Where would John Larkin put HIS money today? Then Jacob Thomas from AtoB joins us to attack the problem from the cab instead of Wall Street. At $6.53 diesel, fuel discounts aren't pocket change anymore. We're breaking down fuel-card savings, where discounts actually come from, hidden costs, fuel fraud, cash flow, working capital and the mistakes that make expensive diesel even MORE expensive. Because surviving this freight market isn't just about waiting for rates to recover. It's about having enough damn money left WHEN THEY DO.

September 29, 2026 — Interest rates have moved sharply higher, but the stock market still appears remarkably calm. Zach Abraham argues that underneath the headline indexes, the damage from higher borrowing costs is already showing up.Zach breaks down why higher rates matter far beyond the bond market — from housing and commercial real estate to refinancing costs, private equity, private credit and corporate cash flows. His concern isn't that every one of those areas is about to collapse. It's that higher financing costs mechanically reduce asset values and put pressure on businesses even when the stock market doesn't immediately reflect it.He also discusses weak market breadth, volatility, precious metals, energy and why he believes today's markets may be taking much longer than usual to incorporate major changes in the macro environment.FREE LIVE WEBINAR — THE GAME PLANJoin Zach Abraham live October 1 at 3:30 PM Pacific for The Game Plan — a free webinar on inflation, interest rates, energy, AI spending and the market risks investors should be watching next.Register free at KnowYourRiskPodcast.comSchedule your complimentary Know Your Risk Portfolio Review at KnowYourRiskRadio.com

Mortgage rates are at 7.5% today, up from 5.99% in March, and the housing market would need to fall about 14% to bring your payment back. I break down the Case-Shiller home price report, the PCE inflation number, and why I see a 70% chance the Federal Reserve raises rates at its next meeting.

In this episode of Must Read Research on Global Research Unlocked, Head of Global Research Candace Browning explores how markets are pricing the probabilities that matter most. We discuss why Treasury yields continue to track Federal Reserve expectations more closely than economic data, how tightening inventories and supply disruptions are supporting an emerging agricultural bull cycle, and why Korea's next growth phase may extend well beyond memory chips into infrastructure, consumer, and healthcare industries. We also examine the rapid evolution of prediction markets, where trading volumes have surged as platforms expand beyond politics into sports, crypto, and other event-driven markets.   "Bank of America" and “BofA Securities” are the marketing names for the global banking businesses and global markets businesses (which includes BofA Global Research) of Bank of America Corporation.

Dr Nicole Enlow: Mental health diagnoses in youth with CPAn important conversation and topic that needs much needed research. Dr Enlow joins us on the pod to talk about. her paper "Understanding Mental Health Diagnosis Rates and Referral Practices for Youth With Cerebral Palsy." This conversation highlights an area of emerging research on a critical topic that is of high importance for our young people with cerebral palsy.

The first time my therapist asked me to picture "little Rachel" on the playground, glasses and all, and offer her the comfort she needed, I thought it sounded so woo-woo. I went along with it, but I was skeptical that imagining my younger self could change anything about how I feel today. What I didn't know then is that there's real science behind exercises like that one. Our sense of worth is built on our memories, and researchers are finding that when we revisit those memories in the right way, we can actually change how they're stored in the brain.This week's guest is Dr. Marisa G. Franco, psychologist and author of Worth: The New Science of Self-Esteem and Secure Attachment. She explains that even though low self-esteem can feel permanent, the truth is much more hopeful: self-worth is a skill, and there are simple, research-backed practices that can help you build it at any age. In this episode, you'll learn:

What if the thing keeping your prices low isn't your client, it's you? In this episode, Nick breaks down why creatives so often undercharge, how pricing shapes the way clients perceive your value, and why your rates should evolve as your experience does. From raising prices with new clients to navigating those awkward conversations with longtime ones, this is a practical push to stop negotiating against yourself, get more comfortable saying the bigger number, and finally let your pricing catch up with the designer you've become.To listen to our “Double Your Rates” episode, click below:https://creators.spotify.com/pod/profile/deeplygraphic/episodes/TEST-PILOTS--Double-Your-Rates--DGDC-el0qua/a-a3hf631Our Website:https://deeply-graphic.netlify.app/

Rates spike, margins shrink, and every “simple” load turns into an exception at the worst possible time. That's why we sat down with Danny (Rapido) and Jack (Lean Solutions Group) to get brutally practical about what actually helps freight brokers and 3PLs scale right now: a human-in-the-loop model that blends nearshore logistics outsourcing, workflow automation, and real operational governance.We dig into the real story behind Lean and Rapido joining forces, including what it takes to build operations in Mexico, why “cheapest headcount” is a dead-end strategy, and how buyers should think about geography when the goal is consistent execution. Jack also lays out how Lean is pushing past commodity staff augmentation with digital transformation support, data assessments, dashboards, and a roadmap toward outcome-based pricing and gainshare models.Then we get specific about AI in logistics. We talk through what's working in production today (load building, quote automation, dispatch automation, appointment scheduling, document collection, POD retrieval, document verification) and why freight is a tough proving ground where the exception is the rule. Finally, we tackle the touchiest topic of all: carrier sales. Is it too “close to the wallet” to outsource, or can tech plus training create an “Iron Man suit” that scales relationships without sacrificing quality?If you care about freight brokerage operations, nearshore staffing, AI automation, and building a durable service edge, this episode is for you.Thanks to our sponsors:Cloneops.ai: Not just AI.

Every day, 17 veterans die by suicide. In fact, the V.A. says it's the second-highest cause of death for veterans under age 45. September is Suicide Prevention Month, and we talked quite a bit about that earlier this month. But as the month wraps up, we want to focus in on one group of people: our veterans. Why do veterans experience such high rates of suicide? What can be done to help them? For more on that, we turn to Lindsey Gray, Suicide Prevention Manager at the Wounded Warrior Project.

Scott Alter, founder and principal at Standard Communities, says the housing affordability crisis is fundamentally a supply problem worsened by rising interest rates, with the ten-year yield at levels not seen since 2007. He argues the federal government must lead on policy through programs like the Low Income Housing Tax Credit, while highlighting Austin, Texas as a market where added supply has actually brought rents down. Alter also points to a middle income squeeze where families earn too much for subsidized housing but can't afford market rate rents.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

Rates climbed again this week, and plenty of nervous buyers stepped off to the sidelines. Brian and David argue that's exactly why serious buyers should lean in. Fewer competitors, softer seller expectations, and a market that's cooling just enough to create opportunity.David breaks down the old mortgage maxim that people don't buy houses, they buy payments, and shows how a modest rate bump translates into real purchasing power. They also explain why every house is its own market, from a brand-new listing in Tosa to a pricey Mequon home that's lingered for two months. They unpack what's driving the rate run-up, why the Fed's recent move barely rattled mortgage rates, and what to watch when the PCE inflation reading lands Wednesday, September 30.Then come two client stories from Brian's desk. A northern Wisconsin family hits the brakes on a home equity line and uses a lightning-fast cash-out refinance to land their dream vacation home. And an Illinois buyer with a bruised credit score protects his cash, survives a low appraisal, and closes on his first home.Plus: a "no regrets" offer strategy, FHA financing, and one very questionable crossbow debate.
