Erika is joined by friend of the pod and special guest Ashton to react to a Reddit post from a woman who is absolutely DONE being pregnant — stretch marks in places she didn't know could stretch, a partner telling her "your body will be better than ever," and a mom who just keeps saying "focus on the baby." YIKES. We get into why pregnancy horror stories are kept so quiet, the evolutionary reason human childbirth is uniquely dangerous, why women's pain gets minimized the second there's a baby involved, and the man on Instagram who came home for 1-2 hours a day and considered himself a parenting expert.Also: Ashton makes a great case for Dinky trips.

FREE 5 Day Email Series to Turn Your Family Into a Team: https://familyteams.com/transform/ --- Is it better to get a PhD, or have a child? I found this wild interaction on the "child-free" subreddit, and had to comment on it from our pro-family point of view here at Family Teams. There's a huge lie in the undercurrent of our society that has convinced so many young women to become hyper-individualistic and focused on self at the expense of children and family, and it's so tragic. This is a good way to showcase that lie and remind everyone to start celebrating kids and family. On this episode, we talk about: 0:00 Intro 2:28 Surprising reaction 3:06 The value of a child 4:00 PhD vs Children 6:48 This was missing in feminism -- FREE 5 Day Email Series to Turn Your Family Into a Team: https://familyteams.com/transform/ -- Follow Family Teams: Facebook: https://facebook.com/famteams Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/familyteams Website: https://www.familyteams.com --- Hi, welcome to the Family Teams podcast!

But he wants to be understood! Who's right? Who's wrong? We did it. We made a T-shirt in honor of Patty's stunning poem, "The sky is blue / the grass is green / I love X-MEN / and I'm gay." With gorgeous art by Sonny Ross, this shirt is available for a limited time! You have until April 3 to get this tee for yourself or the queer, Marvel-loving person in your life!

On Monday, Cuba's electrical grid failed, causing a blackout that affected the island's nearly 11 million inhabitants. Cuba's Ministry of Energy and Mines confirmed that it was investigating a complete disconnect of the island's grid, which sparked both violent and non-violent protests. After 29 hours, power was restored to most of the island, although much of the country remains without service as of Wednesday morning. Cuba has been experiencing worsened power disruptions since the United States increased its economic pressure on the island. On January 11, President Donald Trump announced he would prevent Venezuelan oil from reaching Cuba, then announced heightened tariffs on any country selling oil to Cuba on January 29.

Taylor Frankie Paul is heading into a new season of the Bachelorette with drama around the domestic abuse allegations from her ex Dakota Mortensen hanging over her. She spoke out about it. Jack Fox applies Statement Investigation to what she said.The finding is straightforward. In an interview about one of the most serious situations of her life, Taylor Frankie Paul does not mention Dakota Mortensen once. She does not reference the allegations. Beyond a single mention of her children, every word is about her. Her struggle. Her timing. Her value. Her worth.Jack looks at what that pattern of language reveals, what it tells us about where her attention really is, and asks a question that the words themselves invite. Whether the level of self concern, the repeated focus on fun she is not having, and the language around money and worth are consistent with something more than just a difficult moment.Jack examines the language on its own terms. And the language raises questions.Want more from Never A Truer Word?

[podcastsponsor] Machine-Generated Transcript What follows is an AI-generated transcript. The transcript may contain errors and is not a substitute for listening to the episode. Christopher S. Penn: In this week’s In-Ear Insights, let’s talk about authenticity in the age of AI. One of the things that I do, Katie, as you know, is I do a daily video series. I actually batch do it on Sundays when I’m cooking dinner for my family, because I have two hours in the kitchen of otherwise spent time cooking. And I have seen this question asked more than any other question in the marketing channels of Reddit. And it drives me up a wall every time I see it. And so I thought I would give it to you just for fun, which is how can I use AI automation to automate my LinkedIn presence while still remaining authentic? Katie Robbert: You can’t. Christopher S. Penn: That’s what I said. No. Katie Robbert: All right, the podcast is over. You can’t. Next. I mean, here’s the thing. That’s an oxymoron, or whatever other way you want to say these two things are not aligned. You can’t automate your way into authenticity. I’m sorry, you just can’t. And I know, Chris, you are a huge fan of automating as much as humanly possible, but for you, there’s an authenticity in that. There is an expectation that Christopher S. Penn is going to be part cyborg, part robotic. And I mean that in all seriousness, as part of your professional brand. That’s authentic. People expect that if you were to open up your head, there would be a computer panel in there, and that’s just part of your brand that you’ve built for you. That’s authentic. But there’s still a stamp of you as the human and your take and your thoughts and your feelings about things that are a common thread across all of your content. If you haven’t built that as part of your professional brand, your personal brand, whatever brand you have as part cyborg, then automating yourself into authenticity isn’t going to happen. If I started doing that, people would think that I had probably—what do they say?—been unalived, and Chris was trying to put in the simulated version of Katie so that nobody knew. It’s not something that would work for someone like me because it’s not part of my brand. You can’t throw in automation and say, “But also keep it authentic.” Christopher S. Penn: And yet that is probably the top question in the marketing subreddit, in the social media marketing subreddit, et cetera. People want to phone it in. Katie Robbert: They do want to phone it in because you get so much more done. Now here’s the thing. I was telling you guys last week that I was using Claude Cowork to draft a bunch of articles that I’ve been posting on LinkedIn. I had one drop as of the time of this recording, my second one dropped. And it’s talking about the way in which we’re approaching training. Yes, I’ve used generative AI to help me pull that information together. But I, the human, still have to go through the article, I have to edit the article to make sure it’s my voice, things that I would say. What I’m doing with these automations that I’m building is I’m just expediting the data gathering from the exact same data that I, the human, would have been looking at. But instead, I’m letting the machine do the pattern matching faster and I’m saying, “Oh yeah, that is what I’m looking at,” or “No, that isn’t what I thought this was going to be.” So that’s really how I’m automating with AI, but I’m still keeping it authentic to me. I would like to believe, Chris, that you don’t read those articles and go, “Katie didn’t write that. That’s not her point of view. That’s not what she would say about this. She’s not saying put human first. That’s not her.” Christopher S. Penn: Here’s where I think a lot of the problems begin, is that people are automating, and you can see this by the sheer number of comments you get on your LinkedIn posts and things that are clearly phoned in by someone’s software. There are problems across the spectrum here. One of them, and this is a pretty obvious one, is that the people who create the software packages to do this are using the cheapest models possible because they want high speed, not high quality. And as a result, you get very weird language out of these bots that someone called “answer-shaped answers.” They don’t actually say anything; they just kind of look like answers. It’s like, “Great insight, Katie, that process,” and it just does a one-sentence summary of your post and doesn’t add anything and adds some weird emoji. So there’s a technological problem, but I think the bigger problem is—and if we go back to the 5P framework by Trust Insights—it feels like they don’t know why they’re doing it. They just know that they just need to make stuff, so there’s no purpose. And it’s unclear what the performance is in terms of an actual business outcome other than making stuff. Katie Robbert: This is interesting. It goes deeper than just AI technology. We as humans sort of—gosh, it is way too early for me to be trying to get this deep, but let me give it a shot anyway. I often think when you say we don’t know why we’re doing it, we’re just supposed to. That is a human condition. I think about people who enter into certain careers or enter into certain relationships and then you look and you go, “But they’re not happy. Why are they doing that?” Because they don’t know, because they’ve been told they have to. Because that’s how it goes. Because that’s what they are obligated to do for whatever reason. And I feel like if you take that human condition and then you apply this pressure of artificial intelligence, and everybody’s moving fast and everybody’s doing it, and if all of your friends jumped off the AI cliff, would you also jump off the AI cliff? And you’re like, “Yes, absolutely, because I don’t want to be left out.” That’s sort of where we’re at. And so people are struggling to figure out how they could and should be using artificial intelligence because everybody else is. I got a call yesterday from my mother-in-law, and she was asking me, “Do you think that this is going away?” And I was like, “Is what going away?” She goes, “AI.” And I was like, “It’s not. Unfortunately or fortunately, whatever side you’re on, it’s not going anywhere.” It’s only going to continue to advance. Now, I talk about it like it’s a piece of software. It is a piece of software. But this piece of software is different from other software in the sense that it is doing things for you that you previously had to do for yourself. And people are finding that convenience very handy. But back to your original question, Chris. It removes the authenticity from what you’re doing. So, oh, gosh, maybe a kitchen example, which is one that we like to go through. You can get takeout from a fancy restaurant, you can get the ingredients shipped to you from a meal packing company, or you can go to the store and buy all the stuff yourself and do your own measurements and spices. Each version of that, you’re going to create the same dish, but you’re going to get different results because of how it was created and the skill set that was used to create the dish. So let’s say it’s lasagna. Your lasagna may be a little more rustic, maybe a little less polished, but it’s authentic because you made it. The one you get from the meal kit is probably kind of mediocre because the ingredients are all weighed out and all precise and there’s really no wiggle room to add your own stamp into it. And then you get the expert level, which comes from the five-star restaurant. And they’re going to have their own stamp on it, but it’s the expertise level. And so it may taste outstanding, but you can’t recreate it because you’re not at that skill level. I sort of feel like people are trying to find which version of cooking a lasagna is going to work best for them, and they’re kind of mixing up some of the steps and some of the ingredients, and they’re getting those weird answer-shaped answers. Christopher S. Penn: And I think there’s the added layer of they want it to taste like the restaurant made, but they don’t want to pay for it. Katie Robbert: Right. Christopher S. Penn: And they don’t want to wait, and they don’t want to put the effort in. So they’re trying to do fast, cheap, and good, all three at the same time. And that typically is very difficult to do. You can use AI capably in an automated fashion, even on social media. However, it’s not a piece of software you buy off the shelf. It’s not something that, to your point when we started out, is always going to be on brand, nor is it going to have the background information necessary that you would need to generate stuff that’s going to be authentic in the sense of this is something that you would actually say. There’s a lot of stuff that sort of clanks around in our brains that is not going to be explicitly declared in a piece of software. So you and I have been working, for example, on a project to create sort of digital twins of ourselves, the co-CEO we’ve mentioned a number of times. These are good as decision-making assistants or a second set of eyes on things. But even with a tremendous amount of data, they still don’t capture a lot of who we are because a lot of the time, things like our failures don’t make it into those tools. I was writing my newsletter on Saturday, and the first draft sucked. I’m like, “Well, this sucks. And I’m not even sure what the point was. I forget what I was trying to write about.” I ended up going a completely different direction with mostly the same ideas, but totally reorganized. That failure is not recorded anymore. At no point is there a prompt that can encapsulate me going, “What the hell am I even doing? Why did I write this and pivot rapidly?” And so if we’re trying to create these automations in social media, that information is not there. Katie Robbert: Well, to expand upon that point about the digital twins and trying to find that authenticity within the automation, I look at something like the co-CEO, and we have given it a lot of my writing. We have given it a lot of the ways that I would make decisions in the 5P framework and that kind of thing. Nowhere in that background information do we give it the context of why I needed to create the 5P framework or why I manage people the way that I do, and the experiences that I’ve had of being managed poorly, or the trauma of working in a corporate environment and being reduced to fixing people’s billing hours to make sure that they all line up and you can bill the client exactly 40 hours or whatever it is they’ve contracted for. And that is all that you have the authority to do. That information doesn’t live in the co-CEO. My sarcasm doesn’t live in the co-CEO. My unhinged thinking or sometimes letting the thing that you’re not supposed to say out loud come out doesn’t live in the co-CEO. But those are things that make me authentic as a human. My messy background isn’t in the co-CEO. And the reason my background is messy is because I have a very large dog behind me that is actually the boss of everything. And so that’s her domain, but those things don’t make it in. And I think that’s what we’re forgetting. To your point, we’re giving these automated systems all of the positives, all of the things that work, because that’s how AI has to work. You can’t say, “All right, every few days build in a failure point and then figure out how to fix it and learn from that and grow from that and become a stronger automated version of Chris from that.” That’s just not how those systems work. That’s how the human works, and we have to learn from those things. You’re missing that whole layer of the human experience, and that’s the authenticity. Christopher S. Penn: Probably for another time, but what you just described does exist now. It is a very high technical bar to implement, but it does exist and people are using it. And believe me, they’re not using it for social media posting. Katie Robbert: But when I think about that technology existing, to your point, you said there’s a high technical bar. I’m speaking for the everyday person. Our expectation is we’re not going to open ChatGPT and say, “Do this task, but fail five times and then on the sixth time, get it right.” Christopher S. Penn: Yeah, that’s correct. These things are highly experimental and maybe that’s again a topic for another time about where the technology is going because some very interesting, kind of strange things are going on. So getting back to the idea of authenticity versus AI, when the 8,900th person asks me this question, there’s a couple different answers. One, if you want to automate something and have it be authentic, create a robot account. Create an account that says, “Hi, I’m an AI robot.” So that people are very clear that’s an AI robot answering. And there’s never a doubt in anyone’s mind that it’s masquerading as human. Because what we ultimately want to do is disclose this is a machine, so that you have a choice as the user if you want to take into account what the machine is having to say. And the second thing is using it as a companion, if you install Chrome’s new Web MCP or the variety of other new tools that have arrived in the automation ecosystem. So that you can say, “Here’s the comment I’m thinking about leaving on Katie’s new post on LinkedIn. What did I miss? Or what would make this comment stronger? Or what would provoke a more interesting discussion?” And using the tool not as the one doing the work, but as the second set of eyes as you’re interacting online to make you a smarter human. Katie Robbert: I know we’re using it as an example, but my first thought is, why do you need AI to do that in the first place? Why can’t you, the human, just read the article and leave your comment? And I guess that’s a whole other topic of, and we’ve talked about it in various contexts, but just because you can use AI doesn’t mean you should. And this is one of those instances where I’m just sort of baffled of why would you need AI to do this particular task? It should be—I’m not saying it is, but it should be strictly human. And your opinion. Christopher S. Penn: Ben Affleck has the answer for you. Katie Robbert: Oh boy. Christopher S. Penn: In a recent conversation—I think it was actually an interview with Matt Damon—it was about their new movie on Netflix. And one of the things that they said in filmmaking that has gotten very challenging for writers and directors to deal with is the directive from, in this case, Netflix, from the studio that said you must have a character actively restate the plot of the movie up to that point because people are not paying attention. They don’t watch, they don’t listen, they don’t read. And so you have to have a character literally say out loud, “Hey, here’s what’s happened so far.” So that when someone pulls their attention away from their phone for two minutes to tune into the movie, they know what’s going on. Like you published your article this morning on LinkedIn. It is a lengthy article. It is not a short, quippy piece. And the reality is people do not read in depth and retain in the same way that they used to. And this is not an AI thing. There was a very interesting study that came out a year and a half ago saying that short-form video, TikToks and Reels and stuff like that, causes bizarre rearrangement in the brain to the point where it materially damages memory. There’s another paper that came out last week. There was a first randomized controlled trial of ChatGPT in education that said it causes substantial cognitive deskilling. So to your question, why wouldn’t a human just read it and comment as a human? A fair number of people appear to be losing the— Katie Robbert: skill to do that, which is mind-boggling. But I guess that’s not for me to comment on or pass judgment on. But I feel like you’re describing two different things. One is, “Hey AI, summarize this longer article for me.” That’s one use case. The other use case is, “Hey AI, draft a response for me.” Summarizing that article, I think, is a fine use case for AI. But, “Hey AI, I didn’t read the article. Draft a response for me.” Don’t do that. Read the article. Even if you have to use that summarization, that’s fine. But don’t let AI speak for you. Christopher S. Penn: And yet. Katie Robbert: I know. I’ve often been called an idealist, and I get why people say that about me. But it is baffling to me. Maybe I’m in a unique position—I don’t think I am—to be saying that. But I don’t see how you can have AI do it for you and keep it authentic. I don’t think there’s enough from my point of view, and I could be wrong. I’m sure you’re going to tell me that I’m wrong. But from my point of view, there isn’t enough information that you could give one of these systems about yourself to ever have it truly be an authentic version of yourself. Because you’d have to upload things like your childhood memories, your patterns of thinking, which is something, Chris, we were talking about the other day, which is a whole other fascinating topic that we should dig into another time. First of all, you have to have self-awareness to be able to speak to those things in a coherent, credible way. And second, you have to have enough of that information. And I feel like all you would be doing is maintaining that machine as you live your life as a human and saying, “Okay, today I had this experience. This is how I felt and thought about this thing.” A lot of people don’t know how they feel and think about everything that’s happening to them. That’s why therapy exists. How are you going to put that into a machine? Christopher S. Penn: And yet people are. Katie Robbert: I know, but that’s what I mean. You can’t do it in such a way that you’re truly going to have an authentic version. Christopher S. Penn: Right. So I guess the question there is what is authentic enough? Clearly what most people are running now in terms of the software to do these automated comments is not enough. Katie Robbert: Right. Christopher S. Penn: When you get, “Hey Katie, great insights, rocket ship.” However, given the relatively low stakes of leaving random weird comments on places like LinkedIn, what is the bar of authenticity? Because we know obviously there’s the fully authentic experience, there’s the fully robotic, clearly machine-made experience, and then there’s this large gray zone in the middle. Where is that line, I guess, is the question. And then the secondary question is, is there a point where it is acceptable for the machine to reach that line? And it be a useful contribution to the conversation and discussion. As our friend Brook Sells likes to say, think conversation. Katie Robbert: Well, here’s the thing. It’s going to look different for everybody. Believe it or not, there are people who respond in that manner that sounds like AI because it’s what they’ve learned. It’s what they know. It’s a comfort zone for them. My recommendation is, if you are considering automating some of these things, is to do a little bit of AB testing outside of actually going live. So, for example, Chris, when some of the video tools and some of the graphics AI systems were coming about, you were experimenting with avatars of you speaking, and I immediately clocked it as, “Well, that’s not Chris Penn,” because I know you well enough. And so it’s a good AB test to give two pieces of content, short-form, long-form, whatever, to someone who knows you well and say, “Can you tell which of these I wrote and which of these the machine wrote?” And if they can’t tell, then you’ve gotten to a point of authenticity that is passable enough for you to put it on social media. But if it’s immediately, “Oh, yeah, that one’s AI,” then you’re not there yet. And I think that it’s going to look different for everybody. But it’s a good exercise to see, number one, where is that line for you? And number two, do you know yourself well enough to be able to program the machines in a way to say, “This is what I sound like. This isn’t what I sound like.” Christopher S. Penn: Yeah. Which is, if you want to do it well, is an extensive process, of course, not something you do in one paragraph. Katie Robbert: And I think that again, you sort of pick and choose those guardrails to say, “And this is where I will let AI speak for me. And this is not where I will let AI speak for me.” You have to make those choices, because the more control you give to the machine, the more risk you’re introducing into your brand, because machines go off the rails, they hallucinate, they say things that you may not have ever said in your entire life. And if you are not supervising them, if you are not QAing them, then how do you walk that back and be like, “Oh, the machine said that, not me.” Christopher S. Penn: Nobody’s going to believe you. The counterpoint to that—and this is again a topic for another time, but is worth thinking here—is what happens when the machine makes a better you than you are. We both know people who speak entirely in jargon. You can talk to them for 45 minutes. You’re like, “What the hell did that person just say? That was just babble. They were just stringing words together. Playing buzzword bingo.” I could see a case where an AI version of that person would actually be an improvement on that person. Then when you talk to the real person, you’re like, “You’re not the same person. You’re much dumber.” Katie Robbert: But I feel like that’s—now, to your point, that’s a different conversation. Because if you’re saying authenticity, then the bot version of a person better sound just as confused. It needs to be speaking in riddles and never getting to a point all the time. But yes, there’s probably a better version of me. A more focused, a more coherent, a more straight-to-the-point bot version of me that could be created. And I can see that’s sort of where we’re taking the co-CEO. It’s not to diminish what I bring to the table. And it’s not to say the bot is smarter, but the bot doesn’t have to be distracted by things like, “Oh, the dog needs to go out right now,” or “I’m hungry,” or “I have to take a phone call.” Those distractions don’t exist in that virtual world. And that already makes that bot version of me superior because they don’t have to have those human experiences that pull away from their core focus. So I would absolutely have that conversation about what a better version entails. And I think that when we say “better,” we need to put that in quotes because that doesn’t always mean that you, the human, are then diminished. Christopher S. Penn: Yeah, exactly.

The China Show's Laowhy86 reveals how millions of Chinese citizens disguise dissent as puns, memes, and mythical creatures to dodge censors.Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1299What We Discuss with Laowhy86:China's internet operates as a closed ecosystem where apps like WeChat handle everything from payments to communication — and the government monitors all of it. Citizens who default on debts, post the wrong opinion, or even discuss banned topics can lose access to trains, flights, and basic services overnight.Chinese citizens have built an ever-evolving coded language to dodge censorship — from "grass mud horse" (a pun on a profanity) to calling lockdowns "square cabins" and using "talk egg prices" to vent about the economy. What started as playful wordplay has become a high-stakes survival tool as punishments have escalated to years in prison.The government now deploys AI — through campaigns like "Clear and Bright" — to predict and pre-emptively ban future slang before it even catches on. Large language models scan for creative workarounds, making the cat-and-mouse game between citizens and censors increasingly lopsided.China's unwritten social contract — surrender your freedoms and we'll make you prosperous — is fracturing. Factory workers haven't been paid in months or years, youth unemployment data has been suppressed, and movements like "lying flat" reflect a generation that's checked out of a system that stopped holding up its end of the deal.Even under the most sophisticated censorship apparatus on the planet, human creativity keeps finding cracks — blank paper protests, "deep-fried" videos, emoji puzzles, and cross-strait livestream trolling all prove that when speech is compressed, it doesn't vanish — it adapts, and understanding how that works sharpens your ability to read between the lines anywhere.And much more...And if you're still game to support us, please leave a review here — even one sentence helps!

The red light therapy market is full of junk science and real breakthroughs. Recharge Health CEO Bjorn Ekeberg is here to separate scams from the science.Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1298What We Discuss with Bjorn Ekeberg:Red light therapy has real, evidence-backed benefits — particularly for musculoskeletal pain, inflammation, and recovery — but the market is flooded with junk products like LED toothbrushes and shower heads that can't deliver a meaningful dose, threatening to discredit the legitimate science behind it.The real power of light therapy lies in near-infrared wavelengths — not just visible red light. Red light works on the skin's surface, but near-infrared penetrates deeper into tissue, stimulating mitochondrial function and improving cellular efficiency — which is why the distinction matters more than most people realize.NASA research in the early 2000s showed that without exposure to red and near-infrared light, astronauts' healing processes slowed dramatically — confirming that our bodies depend on these wavelengths the way plants depend on sunlight, a connection modern indoor life has severed.The biohacking and wellness industry moves faster than the evidence, creating a cycle where legitimate therapies get buried under wild marketing claims — from hair regrowth caps to fat-melting irons — which trains consumers to dismiss everything as snake oil.Consistency and correct dosing are the keys to real results with red light therapy — whether for pain, gut health, or even deep sleep improvement — so start with a targeted protocol, track your progress, and treat it like any other health habit that compounds over time.And much more...And if you're still game to support us, please leave a review here — even one sentence helps!

Keith sits down with the youngest guest in show history—a 19-year-old college sophomore and student-athlete who's already deeply immersed in real estate and economics, Hunter Taddy. You'll hear a candid Gen Z perspective on money, debt, and the shifting social landscape, along with what's really being taught in today's real estate and econ classrooms.  They explore how young people are navigating college costs, work, and early investing decisions, and how hands-on property management education is shaping one student's path.  If you're curious about where the next generation of investors is headed—and what that might mean for your own strategy—this conversation offers a rare, on-the-ground look without the usual clichés.

This is get rich education.   Keith Weinhold  2:00   Welcome to GRE from Concord, New Hampshire to Concord, California and across 188 nations worldwide, you're listening to one of America's longest running and most listened to shows on real estate investing. I'm your host, Keith Weinhold, and this is get rich education. Increasingly, you know, people ask why even go to college? Is the value of higher education even worth it to drag yourself to an 8am American Lit class while living off of dining hall Breakfast Biscuits and chicken strips for $100,000 a year, it's been estimated that one in seven men are meats, n, e, e, t, that means not in education, employed or training. Why put on a suit and tie and show up at a job when you have a reasonable facsimile of life online and you have discord and Reddit and trade stocks on Robinhood and crypto on Coinbase. Now I don't think that's going to be good for you, and I still think that there are a lot of positives about attending college. At least 15 to 20 colleges close each year in the United States. And despite this, you know, most people that I talk to, they still seem to be mostly positive about college, or they have this expectation that their kids go to college. So anecdotally, this hasn't changed. I probably wouldn't even be as aware of this shift if I didn't read media like I do, if I just talked to people informally, I really wouldn't know. One thing that has not changed also is the notion of the broke college student. I used to be one of those. Now America is just a couple years removed from that wave of elevated inflation and war in Iran has positioned to stoke a second wave of inflation. Today's guest told me that he does pay credit card finance charges, even though he makes more than the minimum payment, just kind of like I did as a college student. The default state of teenage society today is different. It used to be boredom, and now that's been replaced with anxiety. That part has certainly changed, and often it tends to be teen anxiety over such nonsense things. I mean, I have a teenage niece. One example is the burden of maintaining your Snapchat streak? Oh my gosh, if you're a Gen Z or you know what I'm talking about, basically a snap streak where you've got to send a friend a photo or video every single day to keep your streak going, two people have to send it to each other, and people with long streaks, they even like send each other a photo of the floor, just. To keep the streak going. I mean, talk about anxiety over the wrong things.    Keith Weinhold  5:04   Well, today's team guest Hunter, he has a somewhat better grip on life. I haven't met his parents yet, but they've done an amazing job. In fact, Hunter's dad owns rental property, which kind of helps to fuel some of his interests and desire. But in order to cope with inflation and expenses, buy now pay later programs have really taken off. They're widely known, but less widely known. Our rent now pay later plans. They're booming. Platforms like livable, flex and affirm. They're used by lower income and lower credit score tenants that often live paycheck to paycheck. And how it works is that these tenants are extended money at the beginning of the month to pay the rent. They often pay a flat subscription fee plus 1% of the rent. And you know, hey, that could be better than the tenant paying late fees to the landlord. I learned from one tenant that had trouble paying his $1,850 in rent that flex charged him a $15 monthly subscription plus 1% of the total rent for providing the service. So his total fees for the app were around $33 a month rent. Now pay later. You're probably only going to hear more about it, but if you're a landlord, you probably do not know that your tenant is using a rent now, pay later plan, because you just received the full payment on time, and then your tenant pays back the service later. Remember, it is called rent. Now, pay later. Oh, before we bring in our guest, can I ask you for some quick help? Maybe you wanted to tell me what you think about the show. You could have been listening for years, but you don't think that you can reach me. If this show has helped you become a better investor, the best way to support the podcast is to leave a quick rating or review. It helps more investors discover the show. Just tap the five stars in your podcast app. It can take as little as 10 seconds, and I will read it myself. Thanks in advance for leaving a rating and review. Let's meet this week's guest.   Keith Weinhold  7:22   This week's guest is the youngest we've ever had in show history. He's a teenager, so he's about a generation younger than me, and it's his first time on a podcast. He is a sophomore student athlete at the University of Alaska Anchorage, where he competes in the 800 meters for the track and field team. He runs about a 155 his major is management, with a specialization in real estate and property management, and he's just into so many things beyond athletics and academics, he serves as an ambassador for the Widener property management and real estate program. He's also an officer of the real estate management and investment club from Wisconsin. He's 19 years old, a straight A student. He's also an RA that's a Resident Assistant there helping out students at the dorms. Welcome to GRE Hunter, toddy.    Hunter Taddy  8:18   Yeah, I'm happy to be here. Thanks for having me.   Keith Weinhold  8:20   Taddy is spelled T, A, D, D, Y. I met Hunter almost six months ago. A property manager introduced us just thinking that we might have some things in common, and she sure was right. We've gotten together a few times, including going running at one time where, well, I had more than a little trouble keeping up with an active college athlete. The last time we sat down for coffee, just last week, I looked at my watch. We were done, and we sat almost two and a half hours like how many teenagers could really hold my attention for that long? But he just understands the world and politics surprisingly well. For a 19 year old. He's confident and well thought out. He's read War and Peace. He even got some of his own cooking and avoids seed oils. And you know, Hunter being born in 2006 when GRE debuted in 2014 you were eight years old. So before we talk about you, let's talk about your generation, generation Z What do you think some of the markers of your generation are?   Keith Weinhold  9:28   Yeah, so it's as I've shared with you in the past. It's interesting, because especially at UA, I'm mostly surrounded by like, athletes. So athletes tend to be a lot more social, just like how they grown up, they're always around people that tend to be a lot more driven. But then when I talk to, like, non athletes, it's a little bit different. Like, my generation is definitely they're on their phone a lot. I mean, I've told you before, like, I avoid social media. Well, I wouldn't say like the flag, but I avoid it a lot, because I know, hey, how addicting it is. And B, just like, you know, the.The word of my generation is slop or brain rot, and which is most of the stuff on the internet, but Yeah, seems to be like, there's a lot of anxiety in my generation, a lot of, like, lack of accountability, which I've noticed a lot lot of, like, lack of responsibility. And it's almost like self indulgent in a way, where it's like, oh I'm so lazy, or Oh, I'm so this, or I'm so that, and it's just kind of weird. You don't really get that much with like the athletes. Back to the social aspect. I don't know if you've seen that headline recently, that's like, the alcohol industry has lost eight, $30 million over the past four years because he doesn't drink. The real story isn't about Gen Z not wanting to drink alcohol. It's about Gen Z, not like really being social, right? I mean, I don't see that many like, Hangouts as much as, like, when I hear from, like my parents, you know, every night you're going somewhere with your friends or your you know, you're going to the bar, you're going to a bonfire, or things like that. And it's just, you don't see it as much. A lot of people are just in their rooms or online and, you know, the online gaming, online gaming, I don't game a lot, but gaming with friends is actually really fun to do sometimes. But everything's a lot more digital, you know, from the communication to like the spaces, you know, where you hang out, whether it's video games or whether it's VR chat, and some people do that, or discord, or just like internet forums and things like that. Yeah, just lot more digital.    Keith Weinhold  11:24   Yeah, you use little or no social media. Personally, I know you manage the Instagram page for your real estate organization, but yeah, there is more of this perception of in person, social life, maybe not dead, but dying. I've learned that 51% of 18 to 24 year old men have never asked out a woman in person you were sharing with me at how you know people have anxiety just about ordering food in person at a restaurant in Gen Z.    Hunter Taddy  11:54   That's actually funny. So because of how that conversation escalated, I technically did ask her out in Snapchat, but then she was like, you have to ask me out in person. And then I did eventually ask her out in person.    Keith Weinhold  12:06   Now, when it comes to in person meetings, after a few meetings with you, I noticed something rare when it's about seeing people in person, you have virtues that I think are somewhat rare for Generation Z. I mean, you actually show up on time. This this chat we're having right now. It's the fourth time we've gotten together, and you actually showed up early each of the four times, which is something that I really notice and appreciate, which, even for people my age, it seems like it's a virtue that they've lost. I mean, showing up on time is just common decency. That's just doing what you said that you were going to do. I find that pretty interesting. But when it comes to your generation being in college now, I mean, college is tough. You know, when I went to college, I took on student loans. My parents and I each paid for half of the tuition, and also worked a part time job while I was there. So I mean, you hang out with a lot of athletes, but how is it with balancing, you know, the income and student loans? Because, you know, college kids are still pretty poor   Hunter Taddy  13:10   I wanted to run for a division two program, because you can get athletic scholarship. I came in as a walk on. I'm not on any athletic scholarship. I get free housing and free meals for being an RA. Yeah, with my RA position, I actually got the RA position my second semester. So I got it as a freshman, which was like, really, really clutch. So my dad was in the Air Force for 20 years, and I got the GI bill for like, I think, six months. So I got my two first semesters of tuition paid for, and then I got some, like, some money for, like, housing and stuff. I mean, I pocketed most of that just because, I mean, I got it for free already. I don't get any more help from the GI Bill, because I'm not in Wisconsin. But if I went to Wisconsin, I could go to any school for free, like, tuition free. So, I mean, sometimes I do think about that, but with my real estate program. I mean, oh my gosh, the scholarship deadline. Every year they give out like, $50,000 in scholarships. A lot of them are from Widener and then just other like local real estate companies in the area. Last year, I got a $2,500 scholarship to travel to the National Apartment Association's apartmentalized It's like, their yearly conference in Las Vegas, and that was pretty cool. So that stuff kind of went over my head, but a lot of the stuff about AI was, like, just really interesting to hear, especially just about property management. And it's crazy to me, because, like, AI is almost like, my generation's thing, since we're, like, growing up with it, yeah. And then hearing, like, a lot of like, the older people in the property management profession talk about, I mean, they're still talking about when they had to keep their records on pen and paper, or, like, files and stuff. And I'm like, This is crazy. So I have scholarships with the real estate program, if I'm lucky, I can get up to almost $10,000 after the spring. It's.That means I pay in state tuition because I live on campus. It was a deal they were running after covid. So that's only like $5,700 I mean, my scholarships will be able to cover that. This semester, I paid like 2000 of it or something, and then my parents were kind enough to cover the rest, and then I'm going to pay them back right away after the year ends once I get those scholarships. And then, yeah, I get $11 an hour for working desk at my RA job. It's tax free, so, I mean, it's not totally bad, but I don't working desk hours that much because we only have them at night. And then, you know, being an athlete, I don't like staying up until, you know, one o'clock sometimes. I mean, the other night, I had to work a nine to three desk shift, and that screwed my whole for an entire week. Yeah. Okay,    Keith Weinhold  15:48   so when you graduate college in a few years, you could very well come out with a lower student loan balance than a lot of others did, although you might still have an informal loan with dad in there as well. How do you and a lot of people of your generation see your financial future? They sure can be hard to predict, but a lot of people see this crushing debt with student loans, and I wonder, even though it could be far into the future if really Gen Z thinks that they're ever going to be able to afford a home. Now, when it comes to the student loans, I know I shared with you when we sat down for coffee that I had a balance. I think it was like a $20,000 balance when I graduated, because again, my parents paid half of it and I worked part time when I went to school, I shared with you that I just took that balance and paid very little interest on my student loan balance because I kept transferring it repeatedly onto these 0% APR credit cards, and when my introductory rate expired on one card, I would just transfer it onto another card. So I've long been comfortable with debt.    Hunter Taddy  16:52   So me, personally, I do not want to take out a loan from any entity. I'm very fortunate and privileged that my parents are able to, you know, front that money for me when I need it. When I need it, I try to pay them back right away. I do not want student loans like my goal is to get out of college, you know, without owing anybody any money. It's weird, because I'm from such a small town in Wisconsin, and I view trades a lot differently than, like a lot of my peers who grew up in the big cities, I know blue collar millionaires, right? People who just, you know, put their nose to the grindstone, pouring concrete. You know, working driving a semi. Only do that for maybe five or 10 years, like my cousins. My cousin pours concrete, and then the other one, I think, works for construction company, the Midwestern work ethic, they're sitting on 10s of 1000s of dollars in their savings account right now. You can make the argument. Well, their back is going to give out in a couple years. And some of that's true. But also, you know, you don't have to be the guy pouring concrete for how long. You could be the business owner, or you could be the guy who's the plumber for 510, years, and then, you know, start your own plumbing business. That's why I don't look at student loans as, like, I need this college degree to, like, make money or be successful. Like, I've met a lot of people who legitimately have that mindset. That's like, I understand that if you've grown up in that sort of, like sphere, you've grown up with those ideas. But to me, it's like, I know if I can't pay for college, or if I don't graduate college, I know I'm going to be fine. I could go, you know, work construction, or I could go, you know, mow lawns or something. I know, I guess I just view it differently. But a lot of people think they need those student loans. So, I mean, they sign up for them. And I looked it up the other day, the average time to pay off student loans is, like, 20 years or something like that. Yeah, I believe it. That is kind of sad. That's insane to me. I want my lawyers going to college. I want my doctors going to college. I want to college. I want all these people to have a good education. But I mean, like 100,000 to $200,000 I just see that, and it's like, oh, I don't know, man, I sign up for the fast flow every year, but I never get anything Free Application for Federal Student Aid, yeah, but I know some people get, like, Pell Grants. If I'm not wrong, I think the Pell Grants are just, I don't know they have to pay those back. It seemed like I was applying for the Stafford Loan. I was lower middle class. I don't think we quite qualified for the Pell grant. The grant being like, free money and a loan of stuff that you need to pay back. Yeah, of course. And of course, in addition to student loans, we regularly have students using credit cards and probably not being able to pay the full balance, is they make their way and try to pay their way through college. That's certainly one thing that I did.    Hunter Taddy  19:28   Here's something for you, DoorDash, my generation and DoorDash is so crazy. I mean, I look at some of these people we have like a desk, at some of the halls, and the amount of people who just DoorDash some of these people are doordashing every night. And that's not cheap, like, that's sometimes it's like 30 bucks just to get Taco Bell or, you know, Wingstop or something like that, and then Klarna, it's like, finance a pizza. Like, what are we doing here?    Keith Weinhold  19:54   Sure, yeah, you're making a down payment on a blooming onion and financing it and making the last payment on it. Years later or something. Yeah, crazy like that, 100% and yeah, I would imagine home ownership is just seen as something that's so far into the future, it's almost unfathomable.    Hunter Taddy  20:12   Yeah, it's funny to me, because, you know, I come from, again, very small town, the cost of living is, like, extremely low compared to the country. I'm pretty sure Green Bay was voted number one place to live by us, News and World Report couple years ago, number one place to live in the United States. But more of the people back home who work these jobs in the trades, like the thought of owning a home seems a lot more real to them than my friends who are in college. And a lot of that has to do with, you know, like we're in bigger cities. Again, people have more debt, but yeah, I mean, you look at those prices of homes, I think the median home price in Anchorage is like $426,000 and just, you know, looking at that numbers like, how am I ever going to afford that? One of my friends, he's in the real estate program. He's got $40,000 saved up. He's got his Roth IRA maxed out. It's weird, because this is one of the points I want to make. So in my generation, you have people who have all these resources, you know, especially with the internet, and they're doing very well with it. They're taking it and they're running with it. And then you have the other part of my generation who's doing the buy now, pay later option. It's almost like a upside down bell curve or something like that. The people who are good are getting so much better, and the people who are making the bad decisions are getting so much more worse.    Keith Weinhold  21:25   Ah, the K shaped economy starts young.   Hunter Taddy  21:27    It's just interesting to see sometimes, because you have some people like, I can't afford this, I can't afford that, and it's like, yeah, being college student is hard. But then it's like, you buy your $6 coffee every day, and it's, you know, I'm guilty of that too. My spending habits aren't the best. And then you look at like home ownership inflation is real. Cost of living is getting higher. But also my dad talks about this a lot like our standards are getting so much higher, too great. Our houses are getting bigger. Kids don't share bedrooms anymore. All our kids have to have our phone. All our kids have to have the newest thing or the newest coat. And you know, you want nice things for your family. I get that, you know, I don't have a family, so I can only talk about this so much. But I mean, our standards are getting a lot, a lot higher as well. I mean, you look at our grandparents houses, and they're like, these, just small, one story houses, one bathroom. You know, I look at the house that my dad grew up and he shared a room with his brother until he graduated, right? And then you look at all these families kids live in their bedroom, it's so weird to me that like siblings, they know each other, but they don't know each other because they're sitting in their rooms all day and they're looking at their phones.    Keith Weinhold  22:31   You surface a good and salient point hunter that a lot of people don't bring up because the K shaped economy that means a widening disparity between the haves and the have nots, but the entire K also keeps moving up, so standards of living continue to get better for both the haves and the have nots, even though the disparity between them continues to widen, and yes, a poor person today has Wi Fi and has Air Conditioning and a lot of minor conveniences that poor people didn't have 75 years ago. You're listening to get rich education. We're doing something different this week, talking to the youngest guest in GRE history. His name's Hunter toddy. We're going to talk more when we come back about what he's learning in classes, economics and real estate classes, because that is one thing that college students do. Remember, I'm your host. Keith Weinhold.    Keith Weinhold  23:24   Flock homes helps you retire from real estate and landlording, whether it's one problem property or your whole portfolio through a 721, exchange, deferring your capital gains tax and depreciation recapture.

Author Robert Kiyosaki, listen to get rich education with Keith Weinhold don't quit your daydream   Keith Weinhold  25:26   Welcome back to get rich Education. I'm your host. Keith winehill, we're talking with Gen Z and student athlete Hunter toddy. He's a sophomore college student, and he's got a management degree with a concentration in real estate investing. So yeah, Hunter, tell us some of the things that you've learned about in an economics class or two that you've taken there at UAA.    Hunter Taddy  25:51   So I had an economics class last semester, but the teacher is basically tenured, and he only posted YouTube videos and like three quizzes was like the entire grade. He made us great at 2000 wasn't gonna say and didn't even grade it. So I didn't learn anything about economics, but that was macro, and now I'm in micro. And this professor, he's fantastic. He talks to Anchorage and Alaska legislators all the time. He was on Meet the Press Like he's very, very, very, very smart and well spoken, one of my and professors, and he's also Yale educated, as I understand. Yeah, I always get crap from my cross country teammates because most of them are STEM majors. There's a lot of engineers, and then there's, you know, you have people who are in, like, kinesiology, and then a lot of aviation, but they always give me crap because, like, oh, business, it's supply and demand, blah, blah, blah. But then, like, legitimately, economics has been so fascinating for me, just like, you know, consumer behavior, opportunity cost, trade off. One of the things is rent control, right? Definitely a big conversation, especially in, like, my generation, you know, because of all these rising prices. And then, you know, the landlord always gets the negative connotation, right? Landlords are greedy. I wouldn't even as a college student. Well, you think about rent control is like as soon as you put that binding price ceiling on the rent prices in an area, that's why there's not enough housing on the West Coast. That's why landlords are painting over the light switches, or they're not fixing your toilet, or they're not fixing the leaky sink. There's just a lack of understanding general society about, like, just how markets work and why. You know, businesses make certain decisions that they do. That's one thing with, like, a lot of my generation, is a lot of them are almost anti business, in a sense, right? In a sense, but they love being consumers. What my dad talks about a lot is as the business owner, like when you work for a company, a lot of the times you can clock in, clock out, you go home and you lay your head on the pillow, and you don't have to worry about anything, right? But when you're the business owner, like my dad, and if you have a lot of anxiety, like he does, about certain things, and you stress a lot, you're up at 2am wondering if the LVP you put in someone's kitchen is going to buckle, well, then you're gonna have to go back and fix it all and all these things, and so I definitely have a lot more to say understanding for like business owners and like landlords. Yeah, the economics classes just broaden my understanding of how the world works. I think that's a class everyone should take, and it is a general ed but I think it's a class everyone should pay attention to as well.    Keith Weinhold  28:18   Sure, rent control gives landlords no incentive to make improvements to a property. So yeah, it's good that you're learning about this in econ class. Tell us about some of the other things that you've learned in economics or in your more real estate investor centric college courses.    Hunter Taddy  28:36   So I'll focus more on the real estate stuff. So Dean Widener, Widener apartment homes, one of the top five, I think, largest owners of apartment homes in terms of units like in the United States, right? He basically came to Anchorage, and he wanted to build the Widener program, basically like a farm for property managers, like, you know, give this education. And then they, you know, they come work for widener. They come work for, you know, whoever a lot of the education has to do with property management. So there's leasing, asset maintenance. Talk a lot about operating budgets, risk management. All students in the program memorize the cash flow performer by heart. So, you know, you have gross potential income loss to lease, vacancy, net revenue, other income, expense reimbursements. Maddie poo, which is maintenance, admin, taxes, insurance, payroll and utilities. Have you heard that acronym before? What is it? Yeah. Maddie poo, I pretty sure my professor, like, that's kind of like his thing. I didn't finish it all, but we have it all memorized, and then we do, like, a lot of fair housing and landlord tenant law. Yesterday, in my Real Estate Investment Finance course, we were analyzing loans, and we were making like amortization tables, yeah. And then so we were looking at like interest rates, how a balloon loan works, variable interest rates. I took real estate Maintenance and risk last semester, and that was really awesome. We got to visit buildings all across Anchorage and talk with the property managers, talk about maintenance systems, general maintenance of the property, property management, the day to day, things like that. And then leasing, we actually had us basically go undercover. We have to have three properties, and we go do a showing at all of them, and then we had to review them, and we did a presentation about them, and, like, we basically reviewed them and graded, like the leasing agent, and how they did that one was really cool.    Keith Weinhold  30:33   Okay, so the mock tenant, grading a leasing agent, yeah, then showing you amenities, explaining lease length, things like that,    Hunter Taddy  30:41   and then seeing if, you know, they violated any like Fair Housing things. He said, Don't necessarily try and bait them, but one of the questions that one of my classmates asked, so what kind of people live here? And then the good property manager, you know, it says we rent to anyone that fits our criteria. And then you have some people that's like, oh, you should have said that. Yeah, yeah, it's pretty touchy, age, race, family status, right? Yeah. So we definitely have that drilled in our heads as well, like landlord tenant law and then, like, fair housing, you    Keith Weinhold  31:11   told me something interesting when we got together, when you run the numbers for property, that the numbers always work better in one condition than they do in another.    Hunter Taddy  31:20   So we do cap rate. And so cap rate is noi over value, I believe, yep. So we analyze the cap rates for all the properties, and then we see what is our return if we pay cash or whatever is our return when we pay leverage. And sometimes it's better if you pay cash, or sometimes it's better if it's leveraged. But I always think even if you could pay cash, you pay, say, $3 million for the whole complex, well, you could put a $500,000 down payment on six other properties. So I always thought that was weird, because that's just, I read Rich Dad, Poor Dad, after my dad recommended it to me, and then it just talking to my dad about leveraged investments. Yeah, why don't you do that instead? Oh, he said,    Keith Weinhold  32:00   right, as long as you control your cash flow and pay the mortgage and the operating expenses. Yeah, we typically talk about getting the leverage here, because the appreciation grade has absolutely nothing to do with the amount of equity that's in the property. Is there anything else interesting that you learned from going out in the field and actually seeing some properties or talking to some managers? And I think this is really interesting, because a lot of times when people graduate college, they tend to broad brushstroke students or new graduates, and say, Yeah, but they haven't gotten out in the real world yet, but you actually are as a student.    Hunter Taddy  32:33   Yeah. So that's one thing I really love about our program, and I really love our professor. He owns properties himself. It's not like a pyramid scheme thing where, like, almost like, you're going to college to learn how to be a professor, and sometimes that we need those people for, like, research and stuff. But like, he's actually done the work. He knows what it's like. He can relate to things that we're talking about. Yeah, we get a lot of that real world experience, which is really awesome going about that, like the leasing experience. One of the things with, like, a lot of the managers, especially in Anchorage, because there's such a housing shortage, a lot of them didn't really like try, because they like, almost don't have to, because, I think a lot of them assume you're gonna lease someone anyways, no matter, because it's not necessarily really competitive. So because the vacancy rate is so small, yeah. So it's just like, here's the kitchen. You know, we're actually taught in leasing class, leasing strategies. And also, what's really good about our classes, we read, like, a lot of personal growth books in our classes. So like in our leasing class, our professor had us read The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People, Stephen Covey and yeah. And then I think for our real estate investment class, we're going to read the compounding effect. I don't know what it's about, but I mean, I really appreciate how our professor gives us, like, those books and that knowledge that's not just, you know, specific to real estate. It's like how to become like a better person, or how to become better at personal finance in general.    Keith Weinhold  33:58   All right, so some conceptual and some mindset stuff, along with more of the hands on and more of the numbers. Well, before I ask you, what's next for you, do you have any last thoughts with what you've learned in class, or just anything overall about your generation and lifestyle and getting along financially? For a college student,    Hunter Taddy  34:18   in April, I'm going down to Austin for the property con, which is Institute of real estate management, big conference. I think they have this one every year too. I think John Quinones, the guy from what would you do, is going to be like one of the keynote speakers. So looking forward to that, definitely looking forward to some of, like, learning more about, like AI, and how it's used in, like, the property management, like real estate sphere, and then I'm kind of interested in green building, because it almost seems to be like, Win win, right? Because better for the environment and then better for the investor most of the time, you know, like, through these retrofits, like you're just switching to LED light bulbs, we actually, we ran those numbers a lot in my.In its class. Like, you know, what would it be like if you switch from iridescent to LED light bulbs? And it's like, that's like, what are the things that all property managers should do? Because you're saving, sometimes 1000s of dollars and seven or 10 year period, or whatever it is, improve the cap rate, right there? Yeah, I want to definitely learn more about, like, the green building. And also, just because, you know, I'm a healthy person, when I build my house one day, I don't want to have, like, a lot of toxic materials and stuff as well. I have one friend. He's really, really dialed in his health. They're talked about him with you before, but he, like, he's not even have drywall in his house because there's some, like, toxic thing in drywall, or something, like, he's gonna build it out of brick and mud or something, I don't know.    Keith Weinhold  35:39   Oh, he can't just go live in any rental. Yeah, well, Hunter, this has been really good. Your dad owns rentals in Wisconsin, and like you mentioned, he's red, Rich Dad, Poor Dad himself. So that's kind of an influence on you. And you do have a management internship back in Wisconsin this summer. But before we go on, you mentioned to me that your dad owns a certain type of apartments in Wisconsin, and I've never heard of that type before. What are they called? And then, what does that mean?    Keith Weinhold  36:06   I think the name is local to the city itself in Manitowoc, Wisconsin. So they're called custerdales. I think there were homes built after World War Two, I believe, for like GIS and things like that so well. Just before he got in the Air Force, he was in Saudi Arabia for a year, and he was thinking about, you know, what am I going to do when I retire? Because he knew after the year was done, he was going to retire and come back to Wisconsin. And one of his friends got him into real estate, and he talked to my mom a little bit, and they just started buying properties. So that was in 2018 and now they own about 70 units, mostly duplexes, with their biggest being a five Plex. They also have a 18 bed assisted living facility. Most of the the 70 units are called custerdales. They're all like, cookie cutter, like, the same they're basically the same layout, you know, sometimes it's just flipped or whatever. And he basically did the same thing each time, a lot of them were, like, really run down ones that they purchased had someone with a chicken living on top of the refrigerator. And then when they locked the place up after they bought it, he broke back in and took stuff. And so they've really, actually, like, helped the community in a way, by remodeling a lot of these homes. And then my dad would refinance them, and then he would take that money and then invest it into another property. And he just kept doing that again and again and again. Yeah, so buy and hold we self manage, because there's not really a reputable property management service in the area. This is near Manitowoc, Wisconsin. Maybe you've heard that name before. Manitowoc, they make heavy construction equipment, and you are going back to Wisconsin this summer for a management related internship, yeah, well, Hunter, well, this has been great talking about what your generation's like, what you do in your classes, and the practical experience that you're already getting as a 19 year old. I mean, you're just substantially further ahead than I was as a geography degree student and major way back in the day, if anyone wants to reach out to you, see what you're doing, or contact you. What's the best way for them to do that? Hunter.    Hunter Taddy  38:09   So I don't have Instagram or Facebook, but I do have LinkedIn. So if you just search Hunter toddy again, T, A, D, D, y, on LinkedIn, you can find me there. Also just give my email. It's H hottie 007 at Gmail.    Keith Weinhold  38:26   All right, look that up if you want to reach out to Hunter. Yeah, it's been great having you here. Thanks so much for coming on to the show.    Hunter Taddy  38:32   Thanks forhaving me.    Keith Weinhold  38:40   Yeah, a fresh perspective from college student, Hunter toddy today. He has got his act together amazingly well for a teenager, and you know, talking to him made me think about something like I said when I graduated college, and it was just with a bachelor's degree. By the way, pretty humble bachelor's double major, geography and regional planning, I had that 20k in student loan debt, which I transferred onto 0% APR credit cards, over and over again and inflation adjusted terms, that might be 40k in today's dollars. I had no incentive to pay it down, let alone pay it off, since my finance charges were essentially zero, so that's why I probably carried that balance for close to 20 years. But this is the first time that I thought about the fact that that very habit was probably a benefit to me, not because it saved me from paying interest on student loans, but because it got me comfortable withholding debt for the long term and rationalizing that there would be an opportunity cost of paying off that debt, because a payoff would have meant that I would forego the opportunity of investing those dollars to get gains, that habit got me comfortable with prudently using debt and leverage as a real estate investor, and that helped me own and control more property sooner. So it was a somewhat autodidactic approach to good debt. Today, we talk with a young, likely soon to be investor, oppositely next week here on the show. We're talking about the book end, on the other side of the shelf, and that is when you're ready to retire from real estate, you can exchange your properties into a fund, pay zero capital gains tax or depreciation recapture. And unlike a 1031 exchange, what you've done is you have totally exited the direct real estate business with a 721, exchange, and you still get financial upside with zero management duties retired. Finally, if you've ever wanted to tell me what you think about the GRE podcast, if this show has given you some fresh perspective or helped you become a better investor.

Protests, missiles, and a regime on the ropes — Iran is at a turning point. Ryan McBeth explains the forces driving one of the world's most complex crises.Welcome to what we're calling our "Out of the Loop" episodes, where we dig a little deeper into fascinating current events that may only register as a blip on the media's news cycle and have conversations with the people who find themselves immersed in them.Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1297On This Episode of Out of the Loop:Iran is an ancient civilization stretching back 5,000 years — but most Americans only know the post-1979 version, which is like judging Rome entirely by the fall of its empire and missing the aqueducts, art, and architecture that came before.The 1953 CIA-backed coup that toppled Iran's democratically elected government planted the seeds for the 1979 Islamic Revolution — a theocratic regime that crushed dissent, built a proxy empire through Hezbollah, Hamas, and the Houthis, and turned the IRGC into its enforcer.Iran's proxy strategy is devastatingly cheap and effective — rather than build a navy, they fund groups like the Houthis to launch missiles based on Iranian targeting intel, giving Tehran plausible deniability while disrupting global shipping and oil markets.AI-generated war footage and disinformation are rapidly becoming a frontline weapon — fake videos of captured soldiers and fabricated attacks spread faster than fact-checkers can respond, and producing convincing deepfakes now costs as little as $12 per video.Despite decades of repression, Iranian citizens continue to protest and push for change — and experts suggest that if the regime falls, Iran's strong collective national identity makes a Libya-style collapse unlikely, offering real hope for a democratic future.And much more!Connect with Jordan on Twitter, on Instagram, and on YouTube.
