Want one?” Simple static post with a clear link-in-bio CTA Saturday: Show Value + Build Connection Carousel showing what's inside the box Stories with behind-the-scenes clips, product shots, polls, or countdowns A quick “can't wait for these to go out” talking clip if you want Sunday: Urgency + Final Push Reel or story of boxes stacked or ready to ship Static post with a detail shot Clear urgency: “This box ships tomorrow.

So today, I'm hanging out with   Tim Baldwin, welcome Tim. Thank you, Jason. And Tim is with a company called Property Management Law Solutions. So Tim, give the audience a little bit of background about you and how you kind of got connected to property management, how you kind of started into entrepreneurism. Give us a little bit of your journey. Yeah.   Tim Baldwin (01:05) Thank you, Jason.   Yeah, so I   am an attorney in Florida. I've been licensed to practice law for almost 22 years. I started out as a prosecutor when I was just out of law school. And then in 2006, I started my own practice. And when I did that, I wanted to enter into an area of law that really there weren't a lot of attorneys practicing. And so that led me to property managers, property management itself, and to the landlord business.   Jason Hull (01:42) enter   Got it. Okay, cool. Yeah.   Tim Baldwin (01:54) Since 2006, I really have specialized primarily in this area of law. And so for the past 20 years, I have developed a clientele throughout the state of Florida with my law firm, which is Property Management Law Solutions. And we help landlords, property owners, apartments, and property management companies across the state of Florida.   Jason Hull (02:18) And Florida usually is right in line with all the new stuff going on. There's California and Florida. So I'm sure you see some of the new stuff that's probably headed your way from California eventually maybe.   Tim Baldwin (02:27) You   We're sort of on a different spectrum,   I guess you might say in California, but yeah.   Jason Hull (02:38) Yeah,   yeah, totally. So, okay, well, yeah, I'm really interested in getting into the topic at hand. we're gonna be talking about.   proactive strategies like scheduled inspections, maintenance plans, helping landlords stay ahead of costly problems, avoiding crisis mode, ensuring long-term property health, and several other things. There's a lot. So where should we begin?   Tim Baldwin (03:06) I think the place to begin really for property managers and landlords is making sure they have the foundations correct. And I think a huge part of that is the lease agreement. The lease agreement is the operations document essentially. And that's where every property manager really should start when it comes to managing property. if you want to head dive into that, I'd be glad to talk about that topic.   Jason Hull (03:12) sure they have the foundations correct.   Yeah, let's do it.   Tim Baldwin (03:30) Well, like I said, it is the foundational document, just the operational document you have with tenants. And Jason, what I've seen throughout the years is sort of this common theme that landlords, property managers don't quite understand the significance of the lease and how ⁓ to see it as their business document, as their operations document, because that document is what   Jason Hull (03:30) Well, like I said, it is the foundational.   you know this was seen throughout the years is sort of this common theme that landlords that you know property manager managers I don't quite understand the significance of the lease and how to how to see it as their business document as their operations document because that document is what   you know obligates the tenants to act or not act in a certain way.   Tim Baldwin (03:58) obligates the tenants to act or not act in a certain way. It   gives the landlords the enforcement mechanism to run their business the way that they want to run it, as long as it's in compliance with the statute, of course. And so that part of it is ⁓ just absolutely critical. And it should address all of the various topics and ⁓ parts of the property management business that property managers see   Jason Hull (04:03) It gives the landlords the enforcement mechanism to run their business the way that they want to run it as long as it's in compliance with the statute of course. Sure. And so that part of it is just absolutely critical and it should address all of the various topics and parts of the property management business that property managers   see not just from a day to day standpoint but also the   Tim Baldwin (04:27) not just from a day-to-day standpoint, but also the sort   of the more rare instances or the occasions where it are unusual, but yet the lease still addresses those topics.   Jason Hull (04:31) So are there more rare instances or the occasions where it are unusual but yet the lease still addresses those   topics? Yeah, so Tim, I totally agree with you. One of the challenges I see is that usually when it comes to contracts, lot of property management business owners view these contracts as just a protection that happens once you're legally at war with somebody. Instead of a proactive preemptive measure,   of setting boundaries and expectations that can create a healthier relationship. so a lot of times it doesn't even matter what is written in the contract, it matters what they think is in the contract, the tenant or the owner. And so this is why we coach our clients on making sure that you do a review through the entire agreement with them and you use that as, like you're saying, as a document to help change things operationally.   You go through with them and explain to the tenant, this is what we expect from you. This is when rents due. This is the consequence. Do you understand this? Because it matters what they understand is in the agreement if you want them to be a better tenant or better owner. Otherwise, the document's really just a tool to go to war with somebody once you're in complete chaos. And there's a major issue. And we don't want to be in those situations. We want agreements. And yes, we want to protect ourselves.   Tim Baldwin (05:39) Absolutely.   Yeah.   Jason Hull (05:52) But even better is if we use it as an onboarding tool.   Tim Baldwin (05:56) You know, you're exactly right. mean, the education part of this is critical so that tenants know what to expect and sort of preparing onboarding documents that of course reflect what the lease provides. And sort of in tandem with that is the property management agreement itself. So property managers, knowing what they want in their business, knowing how they're going to operate, you mentioned inspections, know, having the criteria of when it is that you're going to inspect the property.   Jason Hull (05:56) Yeah, we are.   sort of entanglement with that is   Tim Baldwin (06:24) You know, if there's ⁓ additional inspections that may come up, whether it's owner requested or maybe it's an incidental that requires you to go inspect. So the property management agreement is just as important on the owner's side of things. And the lease in the property management agreement need to align with each other because you don't want to obligate yourself sort of on one end with the property management agreement, but then not have those enforcement mechanisms on the tenant side of things within the lease agreement.   Jason Hull (06:24) ⁓ You know, there's additional inspections that may come up whether it's only requested or maybe it's an incidental that requires you to go expect so that the property management agreement is just as important important on the owner's side of things and the lease in the property management agreement needs to align with each other because you don't want to obviate yourself sort of on one end with the property management agreement but then not have those enforcement mechanisms on the tenant side of things within the lease   agreement.   Got it, yeah. So if it's important for the tenant and the owners agreements for them to be able to understand these, how important is it for these documents to be plain language versus legal speak?   Tim Baldwin (07:10) Well, I mean, it's hard to get away from some of the legal speak if you want to call it that just because it's just like whenever you go close on a property. mean, you know, probably your audience is very familiar with that. I mean, there's just document after document. know, so it obviously can be put in plain terms, but it's not even so much about whether it's going to put in plain terms versus legalese, but rather which subject matter is going to be addressed.   That's the more important part of either one of these agreements, the property management agreement or the lease agreement. And so really, ⁓ landlords out there need to make sure, property management companies need to make sure that both of those agreements really take their business from the beginning of how they operate to at the end of the tenancy and even the move out process and what governs those relationships.   Jason Hull (07:37) either one of these agreements, the property management agreement or the lease agreement. so really landlords out there need to make sure, property management companies need to make sure that both of those agreements really take their business from the beginning of how they operate to the end of the tenancy and even the move out process and what governs those relationships.   Got it. So if they've got these really great agreements in place, hopefully maybe the language is   easy enough for them to be able to read it and understand it a bit so it's not super thick like some of the business stuff I've signed in the past. And then, and it's got like all these proactive things like inspections, rent increases are built in and some of these things that it prevents later problems and later challenges.   so they don't run into these scenarios where now it's a battle or someone's upset or there's a new negotiation that has to happen. What are some of the most critical things that you're seeing that people need to be putting into these agreements?   Tim Baldwin (08:40) Well, aside from just what you might consider to be the typical areas of interest in a lease agreement, what we're seeing a lot nowadays and really for the past few years, a really significant increase in tenant complaints with regard to mold. It's a really, really hot issue. And so having a mold addendum that really...   provides the nuts and bolts of what is the obligation of the landlord and the tenant when it comes to a claim for mold. ⁓ It's kind of a fact I just did a podcast or a seminar, mean, a seminar on this ⁓ last week ⁓ on this issue. And because really this is a topic that for years attorneys did not, I don't think even myself included, didn't really properly...   Jason Hull (09:02) I   when it comes to a claim for more. It's kind of that type of just need a podcast or a seminar, mean a seminar on this last week on this issue. And because really this is a topic that for years, attorneys did not, don't think even myself included, didn't really properly   address to the fullest. But since we see it so regularly now, we have a motor venom that provides for what the...   Tim Baldwin (09:27) addressed to the fullest. But since we see it so regularly now, you know, we have a molded end of that provides for what the parties are to   do in that event. So that's, that's a really big one. You mentioned maintenance. That's another big win ⁓ to where landlords need to be able to put some of the minor maintenance obligations on tenants because what is what's happening. And I'm sure your audience has experienced this before.   Jason Hull (09:37) to in that event. So that's a really big one. You mentioned maintenance. That's another big one to where landlords need to be able to put some of the minor maintenance obligations on tenants because what's happening, and I'm sure your audience has experienced this   before, is that the tenants expect the landlords to just do everything, mean, down to changing out a light bulb. So if those things are not addressed in the lease, the landlords can really...   Tim Baldwin (09:54) is that the tenants expect the landlords to just do everything. I down to changing out a light bulb. And so if those things are not addressed in the lease, the landlords can really find   themselves spinning their wheels and just having a hard time with informing the tenants, no, this is your responsibility. But if they can't point to it in a lease, it becomes problematic for the landlord. So those are two big issues that we see a whole lot.   Jason Hull (10:05) So just making sure there's really strong clarity related to maintenance, clarity related to mold. Mold's got to be a big issue in Florida. You guys have crazy humidity there. ⁓   Tim Baldwin (10:31) Yeah. Yeah.   Jason Hull (10:34) Not as big a deal in California,   Tim Baldwin (10:34) It is.   Jason Hull (10:35) which is pretty dry, but yeah, still an issue. Anything else that you're seeing? What about maybe like, there's been a lot of push in the last several years for resident benefits packages and putting some additional fees onto the tenants?   Tim Baldwin (10:52) Yeah, yeah, the revenue   stream is very important, of course, for property management companies and they're trying to figure out ways of creating those additional revenue centers. And one of them is, of course, tenant benefit packages. There's a variety of vendors that try to sort of pull those together into one package so that whatever it is that they're providing to the tenants, you can sort of get it all in one place. Some property management companies are creating sort of ⁓   Jason Hull (11:07) Mm-hmm.   whatever it is that they're providing to the tenants, you can sort of keep it all in one place. Some popular companies are creating ⁓   Tim Baldwin (11:21) those incidentals on their own, whether it's insurance coverage, certain amenities, credit building,   Jason Hull (11:21) those incidentals on their own. Whether it's insurance coverage, I'm sorry. ⁓ Filters. Yeah, credit building. Yeah.   Tim Baldwin (11:35) online portals, and these types of things. sort of this bulk. And then, of course, you've got to price it out correctly to make sure you're not losing money.   Jason Hull (11:37) these types of things are sort of this ball. And then of course you gotta price it out correctly to make sure you're not losing money.   Tim Baldwin (11:44) Another thing that ⁓ is fairly common and popular nowadays is sort of having these legal services, not legal services, but they're helping to reduce the cost of legal expenses in the event you have an eviction, covering costs or if you want to cover rent that the tenant hasn't paid up to   Jason Hull (11:45) Another thing that is fairly common in popular nowadays is sort of having these legal service, they're not legal services, but they're helping to reduce the cost of legal expenses and eventually have an addiction covering costs or if you wanna cover rent that the tenant hasn't paid.   Tim Baldwin (12:05) a certain amount. There's all these types of things that are ⁓ becoming more more popular, but as I...   Jason Hull (12:06) up to a certain amount, know, all these types of things that are becoming more more popular.   as I say to everybody that comes to me in this regard, you really got to make sure you're punching the numbers properly. You don't want to be losing money. And sometimes it has to do with how many properties you manage because you can leverage the numbers to create a bigger and better benefit for the tenants as well as for the property owners.   Tim Baldwin (12:13) say to every client that comes to me in this regard, you really got to make sure you're crunching the numbers properly. You don't want to be losing money and sometimes it has to do with how many properties you manage because you can leverage the numbers to create a bigger and better benefit for the tenants as well as for the property owners.   Jason Hull (12:34) Yeah, that makes sense. Obviously, we don't want to just be adding more more bells and whistles and services if it's not actually going to be a profit center, if we're going to be losing money. Cool. So now you mentioned, you know, in preparation for this, you know, it says, Tim will also discuss how consistency, documentation, structured maintenance routines.   Tim Baldwin (12:43) Exactly.   Jason Hull (12:55) not only prevent maintenance, like prevent emergencies, but also build lasting value and trust with tenants. And so let's get into that a little bit.   Tim Baldwin (13:03) Yeah, well everything that the property manager does really needs to be mapped out. Again, starting from the very beginning of creating this tenancy all the way through to the end of it is that the property managers need to know, you know, here's what I'm going to inspect. These are the services that we're going to provide. This is how we're going to process towards end of the lease processes. For an example, requiring tenants who are already placed   Jason Hull (13:04) Yeah,   who are already   placed to apply again to make sure that they still qualify to renew that lease. So having all of these touchstones, if you will, throughout the tenancy, those things really need to be mapped out in advance, put into your calendar, having the proper forms that relate to whatever it is that you're doing so you can notify the tenant, hey, this is coming up, or hey, we're going to be here doing this, or hey, the end of your lease is coming up.   Tim Baldwin (13:28) to apply again, to make sure that they still qualify to renew that lease. So having all of these touchstones, if you will, throughout the tenancy, those things really need to be mapped out in advance, put into your calendar, having the proper forms that relate to whatever it is that you're doing so you can notify the tenant, hey, this is coming up, or hey, we're gonna be here doing this, ⁓ or hey, the end of your lease is coming up, we need   to know what you're going to do. ⁓   Jason Hull (13:55) We need to know what you're going to do.   Tim Baldwin (13:58) It really is, ⁓ the structure itself helps to reduce the amount of wasted time. It sort of seems oxymoronic to say, if I put more effort into the management, into the steps of the process, that's gonna take time. But in reality, when you make it a system and these things become automatic, and that it becomes part of what your team does on   Jason Hull (13:58) it really is the structure itself helps to reduce the amount of wasted time. It sort of seems oxymoronic to say, if I put more effort into the management, into the steps of the process, that's going to take time. But in reality, when you make it a system, these things become automatic in that it becomes part of what your team does.   Tim Baldwin (14:22) the routine, it does reduce a lot of time with confusion.   Jason Hull (14:22) on the routine, does reduce a lot of time with confusion,   Tim Baldwin (14:27) know, miscommunication, missing things that you should have caught, and then making sure that you know which tenants should be renewed and which ones shouldn't be renewed. So all these things work together to make management a more efficient system.   Jason Hull (14:27) miscommunication, missing things that you should have caught, and then making sure that you know which tenants should be renewed and which ones shouldn't be renewed. So all these things work together to make management a more efficient system. Got it. So a lot of property managers probably initially tried to do everything themselves. That's like what entrepreneurs do. They're like, I'll figure it out.   Tim Baldwin (14:48) Yeah. Yeah.   Yeah.   Jason Hull (14:51) I'll go   ask AI, I'll go watch some YouTube videos. I don't know if I need a lawyer. I don't know. And they try and figure this stuff out themselves. What are some of the challenges that you see that kind of reveal to you why your business exists? Obviously your business exists to solve some real problems. So why would they need PM Law Solutions?   Tim Baldwin (15:14) Well, it's kind of like   what you're doing in the sense that when you have a service that's servicing a need for property managers, you're the professional, you have the training, you have the experience, you have the knowledge to help managers deal with really what they shouldn't have to be dealing with on the day to day. So from my standpoint, of course, property managers are not lawyers. Well, it's more than just law.   Jason Hull (15:38) It's more than just   law. It's seeing the big picture, it's seeing the full scope of how you get from point A to point Z seamlessly, efficiently, with productivity. And so having the professionals to help you streamline what you're doing, make sure you're doing it properly, make sure you're doing it to reduce the risks of liability is all part of what a professional should be helping you with, whether it's an attorney or even somebody like yourself who says, you want to grow?   Tim Baldwin (15:39) It's seeing the big picture, it's seeing the full scope of how you get from point A to point Z seamlessly, efficiently, with productivity.

So any professional that's servicing that kind of a company, first of all, they should have something that they're providing that is the benefit and it has the value that they're paying for that service.   Jason Hull (16:08) you want more business, you want to be able to do it for a profit, and these are the steps you need to be taking. So any professional that's servicing that kind of a company, first of all, they should have something that they're providing that is the benefit and it has the value that they're paying for that   service. So what are some of the, I'd love you to tell the audience a little bit about property management law solutions and why they should maybe entertain a conversation with you.   why your company might be beneficial, how you could help them with some of the stuff we've been chatting about. Tell us a little bit about the business.   Tim Baldwin (16:44) Yeah, well, this is our specialty.

And so we can spot issues anytime you run into a situation where, hey, what do I do? This is what the tenant is saying. I'm not sure, you know, what is my standing here? What is my position here?

So when you're wasting time and you're spending money unnecessarily it really can eat into that profit margin.

So, in final words, like in wrapping up, what would you like to say to all the property management business owners out there that are maybe   relevant to your business, you only deal with Florida, correct? For now. For now, okay. Okay, so if they're Florida property manager, if they're not a Florida property manager currently, where would you send people? Like how do they find somebody that's gonna be a good resource similar to you in another state? Well, the association is...   Tim Baldwin (19:44) For now, we are expanding outside of Florida, but yes.   Well, the associations, ⁓ apartment   associations, residential property management association may have some referrals in that way. And so I would probably start there. You can look at the bar association websites in those states to see if there are attorneys who hold themselves out as experts or specialists in that area of law. Those are two common ways of doing it. Obviously you could do a Google search, but trying to find someone.   Jason Hull (20:11) Okay.   and hold.   you can do Google search but trying to   find someone and I would encourage your audience to find the right law firm that fits the way you like to do business, who fits your personality, that you can easily communicate with, that you're able to get in contact with them in fairly short order. Those are critical components of having a landlord attorney because in that business things can happen and do happen.   Tim Baldwin (20:27) I would encourage your audience to find the right law firm that fits the way you like to do business, who fits your personality, that you can easily communicate with, that you're able to get in contact with them in fairly short order. Those are critical components of having a landlord attorney because in that business, things can happen and do happen very quickly   and so having a timely response is important.   So you might reach out to other companies or other landlords that you know in your network, start asking for referrals, do an interview, contact the law firm, ask them if you can talk to them about what they can provide to you, what their cost is, obviously, and see if that is a good fit for you.   Jason Hull (21:13) Got it.

Ever feel like buying an engagement ring is a minefield? You're not alone. In this episode, Andy talks with Carter—a custom jeweler who's helped hundreds of guys get it right—about the biggest mistakes men make, how to actually get her the ring she wants, and why the "surprise" isn't what you think it is. What You'll Learn in This Episode: The #1 mistake guys make when buying a ring—and how to avoid it Why just "surprising her" is mostly dead (and what actually works now) How to figure out her style (even if she sends you a million new ideas after you buy) The right way to use family stones and heirlooms without losing meaning How to handle the money talk (and why the price is nobody's business but yours) Real-world advice for guys who feel lost or overwhelmed by the process Why finding "your jeweler" matters more than any brand or store Key Quotes from Carter: "The most common mistake guys make is thinking they know what she wants, instead of actually checking with her—or her mom, sister, or best friend." "Jewelry is personal. If it's not her style, she won't wear it, even if you love it." "Don't let anyone pressure you. Take your time, ask questions, and get educated." Why This Episode Matters for Guys Buying Rings: If you're worried about blowing it, or just want to get it right the first time, this episode gives you the real-world playbook: How to get her style right (even if she "changes her mind" halfway through) What to do with family rings and old gold How to set a budget you're actually comfortable with—no three-months-salary BS Why collaborating with a jeweler you trust makes the whole process easier (and way less stressful) Carter's Top Advice: Don't guess. Ask her, or ask her inner circle. If she says "surprise me," a classic round solitaire is your safest bet. Check her Pinterest or Instagram—the answer is probably there. Set your own budget—never go into debt for a ring. Find a jeweler who feels like "your guy"—someone you can text, call, and trust. Who Is Carter? Carter Eve is a custom jeweler, trained goldsmith, and owner of Carter Eve Jewelry, known for heirloom redesigns, value-driven sourcing, and an authentic approach to jewelry design.  She helps guys get the ring right—without the hype or pressure, which makes her a perfect guest for the show.  Resources Mentioned: Carter Eve Jewelry: https://carterevejewelry.com/ Andy's book: The Inappropriate Guide to Buying an Engagement Ring available on Amazon.

In this episode, I take a deep dive into I Don't Want to Talk About It by Terrence Real, a landmark work that changed how we understand depression in men.Male depression often doesn't look like sadness. It shows up as anger, withdrawal, numbness, overwork, or a quiet collapse of intimacy. Drawing from Real's insights and my own work as a psychotherapist, this episode explores how shame, emotional silence, and intergenerational legacies shape the inner lives of men—and why so many struggle without ever naming their pain as depression.I explore:Why male depression is so often hidden and misunderstoodHow shame becomes the core emotional wound for many menThe legacy of emotionally absent or unreachable fathersDepression as a relational injury rather than a personal failureWhat effective psychotherapy with men actually requiresWhy connection, dignity, and emotional safety matter more than “opening up”This episode is for therapists, clinicians, and anyone interested in men's mental health, masculinity, and the deeper emotional costs of silence. It's also for men who've felt disconnected, irritable, or unseen—but never quite “depressed” in the way the word is usually defined.If you've ever thought, “I don't want to talk about it,” this conversation is an invitation to understand why—and what healing can look like when men are met with respect, compassion, and real relational safety.

Does the word “budget” still make your shoulders tense? Same. And that reaction isn't a personal failing—it's a sign that most budgeting advice was never built for real life. In this rereleased episode, we throw out the guilt, the restriction, and the rules that don't stick, and replace them with a spending plan that actually works with how you live, earn, and decide. This conversation breaks down why traditional budgets tend to fall apart (hint: it's not because you lack discipline) and how to build a values-based spending plan that supports growth, security, and joy—at the same time. You'll learn how to identify what truly matters to you financially and how to align your spending with those priorities instead of fighting yourself every month. We walk through the Three-Bucket Spending Plan as a simpler, more human way to manage money without sacrificing the things you love or want to work toward. Shari also shares her own experience of breaking out of a scarcity mindset and why emotional spending has far more to do with unexamined beliefs and financial baggage than willpower. This episode reframes budgeting from something you “have to do” into a tool that helps you make intentional choices—so you can stop defaulting to “I can't afford that” and start saying, “I'm choosing this.” If you're tired of feeling guilty every time you spend, stuck in a cycle of overthinking your money, or ready to build wealth without burning out your nervous system, this episode is for you. Press play, rethink what a budget can be, and start creating a spending plan that finally feels supportive instead of suffocating. Talkin' Points → where your money gets smarter.

This could be the most encouraging sign for the housing market in years. It's the final month of 2025, and the housing market has flipped from this time last year. Real prices are down, mortgage rates are near a percent lower, inventory is stabilizing, and affordability…it's actually improving. But hints at a wave of underwater mortgages are making people nervous. With the number rising, is this the “distress” signal many have been waiting for? We're getting into it all: home price, mortgage rate, and inventory updates, plus a new seller trend that is causing serious confusion, and could be the final nail in the “housing market crash” coffin. With sellers doing what nobody expects, next year could get interesting. More homeowners are falling “underwater” on their mortgages. Is this a 2008 repeat or just a blip on the real estate radar? Some economists are worried about rising delinquencies, but a high-level view of the data could point to an entirely different conclusion. In This Episode We Cover Sellers do what nobody expects, and it's killing the “crash” narrative Underwater mortgages are surging, but are homeowners really in danger? The best news we've had in three years? A massive win for housing affordability Mortgage rate momentum and whether now is the right time to refinance The key affordability improvements we've seen since the start of 2025 And So Much More!

Rebranding a company is rarely neat, and James Clark makes that clear in this conversation. He talks through the pressure of changing a long established name, the internal tension that came with it and the need to build something that reflects future ambition rather than past comfort. His breakdown of stakeholder alignment, intellectual coherence and disciplined decision making gives founders a practical view of how to manage identity change at scale. It is a calm and honest look at the work behind a brand that now represents a fast growing venture capital firm with global reach.Guest note:James Clark is the Marketing Director at Molten Ventures, known for leading one of the most complex rebrands in European venture capital.Key TakeawaysA rebrand must reflect where the organisation is going, not where it has been.Stakeholder alignment matters more than visual design.Intellectual coherence gives a brand long term strength.Risk is part of the process but it must be managed with structure and clarity.

Send us a textWhat if “the last judgment” isn't a cosmic trial but a daily practice that restores your peace? We dive into the end of ACIM Chapter 2, Section 13, and flip an old fear on its head: judgment becomes discernment, the simple act of keeping what is loving and letting go of what isn't. When “last” means the end of illusion—not the end of life—you stop bracing for punishment and start walking through a doorway to real aliveness.We explore how fear shrinks awareness and makes survival thinking feel like reality. The shift is practical and immediate: notice the thought that contracts your energy, recognize it hurts, and release it. You can't judge your Self—because you didn't create your Self—but you can apply perfect judgment to what you made: stories, identities, and interpretations. Real memory keeps only what is good; it heals without erasing, so even painful scenes can be remembered without blame or victimhood. This is forgiveness that actually works.Time takes on a single purpose: a safe buffer for correction, moment by moment. Every minute is an invitation to choose again—love over fear, innocence over guilt, clarity over confusion. Perfect judgment isn't moral superiority; it's clean seeing that recognizes illusion as illusion. As you retain only the lovable, fear loses its foothold. Relationships soften, defensiveness drops, and you feel bigger than the problem—free to embrace whatever appears. That's your part in the atonement: keep what is loving, release what is not, and let perception be corrected now.If this resonates, follow the show, share it with a friend, and leave a thoughtful review. Tell us: what fearful story are you ready to stop keeping today?Support the show

It's a gift to our families and our neighbors. Solar and wind are now the cheapest power sources in history, yet too many politicians would rather toast billionaires by the fire than help working families keep their homes warm and their bills low. Real change begins when we stop letting the ultra - rich write our energy policy and run our government. Choose affordable, renewable power. Clean energy means lower costs, greater freedom, and a world that can still sing for future generations. Promote Celtic culture through music at http://celticmusicpodcast.com/.

Truth Be Told with Booker Scott – This nation stands at a crossroads where election integrity, civic duty, and accountability define our future. I reject shortcuts to power and demand transparency, lawful enforcement, and fair prosecution. Real change begins locally when citizens engage, volunteer, and vote. Protecting faith, family, and country requires vigilance, courage, and action from all of us...

I'm joined by Irina Vlada for an honest conversation about healing, nervous system regulation, and what real integration actually looks like when working with psychedelics and other therapeutic tools. Irina helps people navigate transformation at the intersection of psychedelics, spirituality, psychology, and wellness. I met her earlier this year at Rythmia, and after spending time with her and diving deeper into her work, I knew I had to bring her on the show. Irina has over a decade of experience as a coach and facilitator, and from 2020 to 2022, she worked as an Integration Coach with Mindbloom, guiding more than 200 clients through preparation and integration for ketamine-assisted therapy. In our conversation, she's clear about one thing: psychedelic medicine isn't the work itself. Real transformation happens afterward, through integration, embodiment, and taking actionable steps that rewire habits, thoughts, and the nervous system. Without that process, insight can fade just as quickly as it arrives. We also talk about why ancient practices like breathwork and meditation are such powerful tools for healing trauma, regulating the nervous system, and expanding awareness, often without needing altered states at all. And for anyone curious but skeptical about psychedelics, Irina emphasizes the importance of safety, education, preparation, and the willingness to surrender to the process. In this episode, you'll hear: How Irina bridges psychedelics, spirituality, psychology, and wellness through lived experience and ethical practice (4:05) Her personal path to self-awareness and healing, including trauma and the long road of recovery (5:47) What ketamine-assisted therapy involves, why integration matters, and how insight without action quickly fades (17:21) How meditation, breathwork, yoga, and nervous system regulation create real, lasting change without psychedelics (25:06) What Irina emphasizes for people who feel skeptical or unsure about psychedelics from a therapeutic standpoint (44:39) Resources from this episode:  Write Your Way Through It Come see me in Costa Rica at Rythmia Ayahuasca Retreat in January!

Send us a textPam Conboy joins Joey Pinz for a powerful conversation exploring the intersection of science, spirituality, and plant-based healing. As the co-founder of Setas Seminary, a federally recognized non-deity spiritual organization, Pam offers a grounded, evidence-informed look at how psilocybin can support emotional, cognitive, and spiritual growth.Together, they discuss how psilocybin increases neuroplasticity, balances neurotransmitters, reduces inflammation, and helps individuals reconnect with themselves on a deeper level. Pam explains why the Religious Freedom Restoration Act protects the seminary's work, how ceremonies are structured for safety, and why microdosing and macrodosing serve different needs.She also shares intimate stories of transformation — including trauma survivors rediscovering peace, veterans rebuilding their emotional centers, and individuals finding clarity, creativity, and renewed purpose.This episode blends hard science, compassionate storytelling, and practical insight, offering listeners a rare window into a world where modern neuroscience meets ancient healing practices.✨ Whether you're curious about microdosing, exploring spiritual wellness, or seeking new pathways for mental clarity, this conversation delivers depth, integrity, and hope. 

It's surprisingly hard to know what something is really worth until someone actually tries to buy it—and that problem is front and center in private funds. Don and Tom unpack why private equity, private real estate, and other “alternative” investments often look calm and stable on paper, only to suffer brutal price drops once they finally trade in public markets. From a Wall Street Journal example of a private real estate fund losing roughly 40% overnight, to Morningstar's troubling enthusiasm for expensive, speculative new ETFs, the episode reinforces a core principle: prices discovered by real markets beat internal estimates every time. Along the way, listeners call in with real-world retirement questions, inherited IRA rules, portfolio simplification strategies, and a healthy dose of holiday banter. 0:04 What something is “worth” versus what someone will actually pay 1:06 Defining private funds and why valuation is murky 2:27 Private fund pricing versus real market pricing 3:56 BlueRock fund haircut: paper value meets reality 4:24 Market pricing, efficiency, and the wisdom of crowds 5:42 The myth of private investments being “less volatile” 6:27 Real estate as the perfect valuation example 7:39 Listener call: inherited IRA and annuity distribution rules 12:42 Holiday humor, crypto annuity joke, and Kentucky bourbon 16:01 Moving assets from Edward Jones, loads, and simplification 19:41 DIY portfolios versus advisor value 21:08 Morningstar's “Best and Worst New ETFs” critique 22:21 Why most new ETFs exist (and why you don't need them) 24:43 Shockingly high ETF expense ratios 26:27 Leveraged crypto ETFs and financial absurdity 27:37 Seasonal podcast plug and ratings gripe 28:44 Listener call: Boeing retirement and rollover planning 34:40 Holiday reflections, gratitude, and comfort over riches Learn more about your ad choices.
