This episode starts a little earlier than usual. I have to take my kid to school for a special trip they are taking. I get to my first Casino early. I turned $20 in free play into $100. Then I turn that $100 into almost a thousand. I met with four other advantage players. Played lots of blackjack and slots.

There is fast money and there is real money. Fast money means day traders and hedge funds, who jump in and out on the day's news. But the real money — that of governments and insurance and pension funds — moves much more slowly, and with greater effect. Today on the show, Katie Martin speaks with Ian Smith on what may be a slow turn of allocation out of the US and into Europe. Also they go short consumer confidence and long lepidoptery.

Für tagesaktuelle Vorstandsinterviews habe ich keine Zeit, weil ich tagsüber fremdbestimmt nicht arbeiten kann, ein Live-Einstieg in den Markt geht sich aber neben dem Schreiben, Sales und Handeln (u.a.

Die deutschen Kollegen Peter Heinrich und Andreas Gross machen das für die Wiener Börse gut und schnell.

Today on the podcast, we unravel the complexities of passive investing with Kurt Novak, an experienced investor who's navigated nearly 50 syndications and uncovered some surprising truths on his journey.   When Kurt sold his entire real estate portfolio - rental properties, a self-storage facility, and a thriving brokerage - he thought he was settling into early retirement. Instead, he found himself deep in the world of passive investing, syndications, and allocators.   What started with crowdfunding platforms like CrowdStreet quickly expanded into direct investments, allocator-led funds, and a portfolio spanning nearly 50 syndications. But along the way, he discovered something surprising - many passive investors (including himself at first) had no idea what an allocator really is… or how they make money.   Syndications, Allocators, and the Fine Print Kurt breaks down the differences between investing directly with sponsors and going through allocators (a.k.a. fund managers, middlemen, capital raisers - pick your term). Spoiler alert: it's not always as transparent as you'd hope. In fact, many allocators present deals in a way that makes them look like sponsors, leaving investors unaware of the extra layer of fees, the loss of direct ownership, and who's really calling the shots.   Where's the Real Money? With nearly five years in the passive investing game, Kurt has seen it all - stellar returns, underperforming projections, and even outright fraud. He shares which asset classes have been the biggest winners and which ones have fallen short. Plus, he reveals what happens when an allocator steps up and fights for investors after a deal goes sideways.   What Every Passive Investor Needs to Know This episode is a masterclass in cutting through the noise, avoiding common pitfalls, and making smarter investment decisions. Whether you're a seasoned investor or just dipping your toes into the syndication business, Kurt's insights will challenge the way you think about allocators, fund structures, and who's really working in your best interest. *** If you've ever wondered where your money actually goes in a syndicated deal—how the fees break down, who's making the decisions, and whether you're really getting the best deal possible—this episode is a must-listen. Kurt pulls back the curtain on the hidden layers of passive investing, helping you understand what to look for, what to avoid, and how to make sure your money is truly working for you. *** Explore the world of real estate capital allocators—a fresh approach to financing that's reshaping the industry.   In this series, I talk with allocators, investors, sponsors, and service providers to give you an inside look at this fast-growing space.   PLUS, subscribe to my free newsletter for real estate investors and gain access to: * Introductions to sponsors, allocators, and investment opportunities. * Insights drawn from my 30+ years of experience in real estate investing. * Hacks and tactics for raising capital to help you scale your real estate portfolio.   Visit GowerCrowd.com/subscribe

My Book: https://www.semperfryllc.com/store/p93/Priestcraft%3A_Beyond_Babylon_%28Signed_Copy%29.htmlGaddafi was a true Nationalist leader, and like Chavez, like Hitler, actually cared about his people and his country. Both Chavez and Gaddafi stated their grievances at the UN and the UN's lack of response proved their point. The member nations have no power, and there's only a handful of countries of the 193 who can impose their will upon the rest, and ignore any measure put forth against them by the other nations. This is of course a condition of its artificiality. It was set up as a smokescreen to mask the true power of the world finance moguls and the nation and armies they control. Other countries are monitored, and managed, as are their leaders should they choose to think for themselves.Toward the End, I stated something that was bothering me for awhile because I see an artificial element injecting itself into an honest cause like a poison that will only lead to horrible defeat.https://x.com/DisguiseLimitsPATREON Community to ChatGET AD-FREE and Exclusive Content: Become a Patron.https://Patreon.com/DisguisetheLimitsBEST HOT SAUCE of the Realm:https://SemperFryLLC.com to get Priestcraft: Beyond Babylon, AWESOME Hot Sauce and Creatine-HCL.

Crops and sustainable aviation fuel—probably not something you think about every day. Alice Henry, co-founder of Regenrate, took a deep dive into why cover crops, which provide amazing benefits to farmers and farmland, are not more widely used. No big surprise—it's about the money. Planting cover crops costs money, and the business model of carbon credits isn't enough to nudge farmers.Enter the Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) market, where there is both money and massive demand due to changing European and global regulations. That means working with big oil majors and helping fossil fuel giants decarbonize. But aviation, in particular, needs to decarbonize quickly. We're not flying any less—probably more—and electric aircraft are coming, but not fast enough and in too limited a capacity.Enter non-food and non-feed competing cover crops, grown on land that would otherwise be bare, keeping more living roots in the ground for much more of the year. Regenrate aims to turning cover cropping from a cost into a revenue-generating practice.More about this episode on https://investinginregenerativeagriculture.com/alice-henry.==========================In Investing in Regenerative Agriculture and Food podcast show we talk to the pioneers in the regenerative food and agriculture space to learn more on how to put our money to work to regenerate soil, people, local communities and ecosystems while making an appropriate and fair return.

Have you ever thought about what it feels like to be the client instead of the photographer? On this week's Joycast, I'm pulling back the curtain on a personal experience: my daughter's wedding.  For once, I wasn't the one behind the lens, and let me tell you… It gave me a whole new perspective on what we do as photographers. Here's a sneak peek: The whirlwind of planning a budget-friendly wedding in six months (Did I mention it was during hurricane season?!) What it was like to let go of my camera and savor every moment of the big day as a mom. The emotions of seeing the final photos and video (and how they became the most priceless part of the entire event!) Plus: A fresh perspective on what it's like on the client's side of photography. The truth about digital files and why printed albums and artwork become lifelong treasures. What this experience taught me about the emotional journey our clients go through when they invest in photography. This week's episode is a reminder of why what we do as photographers is so much bigger than just “taking pictures.” Photography is about love, legacy, and creating something people will treasure forever.
