No one gets wealthy from a high salary. Wealth is acquired by owning things. But how can you own MANY things without much money? I discuss it. Learn how to use major banks (Chase, Wells Fargo) to fuel your wealth and retirement when you're young.  Debt is like fire. Kids will burn down the house with fire. Adults will use fire (debt) to produce prudent leverage and outsized returns.  High salaries don't create wealth due to: lost time, no leverage, few tax benefits, and entrapment due to sunk education costs. I sat down with a conventional financial advisor. Things got interesting.  Learn why Western US homes cost more than Eastern US homes. This fact confounds most real estate pros. I break down 8 reasons.

I'm your host, Keith Weinhold. Don't make this giant wealth mistake - understand why a high salary does NOT create wealth. Learn what does instead.  See how to get deep pocketed-banks like Chase & Wells Fargo build wealth for YOU.  I recently sat down with a traditional financial advisor - this got interesting. Then, why do WESTERN US homes cost more than EASTERN us homes? All today, on Get Rich Education.   Welcome to GRE! From Port Jervis, NJ to the Port of Bellingham, WA and across 188 nations worldwide, I'm Keith Weinhold and you're listening to Get Rich Education. Welcome in!   When I grew up, I thought that people got wealthy from high salaries. I figured that I could get wealthy if I got a high salary too.   And then adulthood has proven to me that… they don't.    People don't get wealthy from high salaries. They get wealthy by OWNING THINGS.   Let's break this down.    People DON'T get wealthy from high salaries.    In fact, have you ever seen THIS happen? I haven't. I worked as an employee in both the public sector and the private sector, and I've been a longtime real estate investor and entrepreneur.    In fact, how would anyone even GET wealthy from a high salary?   If you've got a job… you're trading your time for dollars and selling your time for money.    I used to do that too… and I actually think that everyone might get some perspective by having a taste of that. Most get that taste.   And say you're even entrenched in the game of climbing the corporate ladder, to a higher and higher salary.   Well, first, in my experience, many job promotions get you perhaps 10 to 30% more in salary, but 2x to 4x the responsibility - that's 200% to 400% more responsibility.     Even if there's an edge case here, in your situation, in climbing the corporate ladder - where does that even get you in the end?   Look at your supervisor and their lifestyle. Is that what you want to be?   Look up higher at your supervisor's supervisor. What's their life like? Is that the life that you REALLY want?    Is that what you aspire to be - and expend so much of your most precious resources to get THERE - time, time away from your family, energy, skill, potential. Is that really it?    The answer is right in front of you!   People don't get wealthy from high salaries. People get wealthy from OWNING THINGS. We'll get more on how - if you have average means - on how you can OWN MANY THINGS shortly.    But first, let me address any more hangups you might have if you still think that high salaries can create wealth.    We won't even look at, sort of, common jobs like an IT specialist or a systems analyst or a plumber.    Let's take an edge case - a classically, high paid profession - a doctor, a surgeon, a specialist even. Highly compensated - several hundred thousand dollars in salary each year. I know some of them.    I also know a bunch of RESIDENT doctors too and I talk with them - they're basically, finished with their formal schooling and are doctors-in-training.    They are repaying loans deep into the six figures after undergrad pre-med and after a few more years at medical school - often it seems to be $300K to $400K in debt that they have to pay back in the case of these resident doctors.   But that's besides the point. It's common for these specialist physicians, once they start working, to work as a doctor for, say, 58 hours a week… or 71-and-a-half hours a week.    Now I said that high salaries don't create wealth. How wealthy are you, if after undergrad, med school, and three years of low paid residency, you finally get out, you're in your 30s or older, and you're working 60+ hours a week.    60+ hours a week is not MY idea of wealth and freedom at all.    You know what else, when you've pursued a specialty track like that, which often comes with loads of debt, you are in so deep - you've invested so much time & energy & chapters of your life… and DEBT into that field you CAN'T pivot to another career, even if you wanted to.    You're trapped. Entrapment is the very opposite of wealth and freedom.     Understand, I just went out and gave an example of perhaps the highest salary type of person that I can think of… to help prove my point. Where's that leave you?   And you've probably heard… the “end game” trope… about climbing the corporate ladder by now.    Yep, you spent the best years of your life climbing the corporate ladder… only to find at the end… at the top… that the ladder was leaning up against the wrong wall the whole time.   Because high salaries don't make people wealthy, then how do people get wealthy from OWNING THINGS?     There are two main ways:   #1 - You can launch and own a business. #2 - Real estate.   Now, launching and owning a business takes a ton of entrepreneurial ambition, risk, and you've got to have a novel idea - a NEW idea - that creates value for the world.   This can be a worthwhile venture… and successful entrepreneurs create value for the world with their own business. It's terrific! It's capitalistic! It's turning lower use resources into higher use resources.   But unless you have your own money, you're going to have to be scrappy and resilient for a long time. Because it's really hard to get loans for a new business.   If you hire anyone to help you, you need to quickly produce enough income to have leftover profit - paying your overhead expenses, software subscriptions, paying your help… and having enough leftover to fuel your own lifestyle.   Household names like Apple and Facebook are one-in-a-million. You don't have to be an Apple or Facebook. But it's tough.    The first way is by owning a business. The second way is by owning real estate.    New businesses are unproven. Real estate is proven. Like I say, wealthy people's money either starts out in RE or ends up in RE.   But how do you OWN much real estate? Because RE is expensive, and wealth is created by OWNING things.   With prudent loans. Because RE is proven, banks will GIVE you loans. Lots of them. Have good credit, be credit worthy.   And… being credit worthy should be an innate trait in any virtuous human being. Because it shows that you repay the debts that you owe.    I think that when it comes to debt, debt is like fire. Don't let a little kid play with fire. They'll burn down the house.    Leave fire to adults. They'll use it to HEAT the house.    Leave debt to the adults. Use debt to fuel your lifestyle, fuel your ambitions, and fuel your opportunities. To the scarcity mindset of “all debt is bad”, here at GRE we say, you're an adult. Grow up.    Learn… that debt is Leverage… and your debt isn't paid back by you at all. Tenants and inflation both RELENTLESSLY and INCESSANTLY pay it down for you, until they pay it OFF for you… if you want.     So then, who's really funding your wealth, enabling you to own things?    Who really funded my wealth from nothing, enabling me to own things?    Who funded my retirement? Leverage… from Chase Bank, Wells Fargo, Bank of America, and other banks. They all give you the opportunity to let THEM fund your wealth for you.    Now, I'm going to explain a core GRE principle here. But so that this isn't repetitive for the longtime listener, I'll use a NEW analogy for you, here.   Look, let's say that you're a kid. You don't know how to responsibly use fire or debt. In fact, you're still just 4' tall.    But learning about leverage is like… seeing the light.   Now, with the sunlight, a 4' tall kid can now cast a 20' tall shadow. You look like a giant now.   5-to-1 leverage made you, not just grow up, but grow into a giant. You suddenly wield the power of a financial giant thanks to the banks.    Because with your 20% down payment, you're only putting up one-fifth of the property price.   How then, do these big banks make you a giant?   Let's say that's your $40K down - on a $200K income property, when the property appreciates only 4% - like RE did last year per the NAR number - you just got a 20% return.    How? Because you got a 4% return on both your $40K down… and you got a 4% return on your $160K borrowed.    Yep, the return from that $160K of borrowed bank money didn't go to Wells Fargo, it won't go to Chase Bank, it won't go to Bank of America.   It ALL goes to you - because you leveraged them. That's how you beat the banks. That's how you build wealth.   Two years ago, when property appreciated 10% that year, you got a 50% leveraged return.   And it gets better than that. You can make income property down payments even lower than 20%, like I did when I began.   A 4' tall kid then, that sees the light, can cast an even taller shadow than 20 feet at 5:1 leverage. A bigger giant.     Any GRE devotee knows that leveraged appreciation is one of just 5 ways you're paid. We're only talking about ONE here.   Sounds amazing. Some think, “There's gotta be a catch.” There is, but it's manageable. Leverage amplifies losses, just like gains.   Though it doesn't happen often, RE can go down in value.    Even in a downturn, look at what happens. Between any ten-year period, nominally, you won't find any loss of RE value in modern history… and you must manage cash flows.   So, no. This is not a 6-month plan. It's to build wealth durably with a reliable vehicle in more like five to ten years.    It gets better. As your equity grows, harvesting it out through a cash-out refi maintains your… magnification into a financial giant, to stick with the analogy.   And every cash-out refinance that you do… is a tax-free event. Not tax-deferred. Tax-free.   You can make tax-free cash grabs, separating it out from your properties along the way, since the IRS doesn't classify debt windfalls as taxable income, and you have a pro PM handling all the day-to-day for you, if you prefer.   Now you really know WHY, wealth is not created from high salaries. It's created from owning things.     And you need to be more than creditworthy. You need to be strategic in building your portfolio with the right properties in the right markets.    Set up a time with one of our GRE Investment Coaches… and they help you do exactly that for free.   Either that or you can just keep believing that high SALARIES create wealth. Ha!    Now, a few weeks ago here on the show, I told you that I've had a sit-down meeting coming up with a conventional financial advisor - a retirement planner type of guy.    I've been getting their e-mails and dismissing them, for 8 or 10 years, but I always stayed subscribed.   This is from when I used to work at a State DOT - Department of Transportation.    So I finally responded & we set up a 1-hour sit-down. We did it virtually on web conferencing.    I prepared by having some things ready for him that he asked for - like my monthly cash flow statement, net worth worksheet, and he also asked I have my Soc. Sec. statement pulled up, so I had that ready.   Now, this is not the forum for espousing GRE's proven wealth-building formula to him. No PROS-il-uh-tie-zing. proselytizing.    And, he told me that… I'm in really good shape.   He didn't dig in with questions on my backstory, like, how were you able to retire at such a young age… or how did you amass all this?   And yes, I could retire now. I could have a while ago. I think you know that.    He was interested in knowing what the cash flow from the rental properties was. In fact, that was his first question about them. Good first question.    Interestingly, he really wanted to know how long I have to pay on my rentals. Like, when would the 30-year mortgages be paid off?    Well, gosh, they all have 20-some years to go. Most of them are clustered around 27 years to go.    He could see that I COULD pay many of them off quickly, now, if I wanted to. But he didn't tell me that I should. Of course, I wouldn't want to lose the leverage.   You know the most interesting question that this conventional financial advisor asked about these properties that I have all over the place, in different states and even nations?   He asked, “Do you plan to LIVE in any of these areas?”  No, I don't plan to live in those properties or even in those areas. I pick investor-advantaged areas for investments, and live where I want to live.   Now, he encouraged me to import my financial info into their retirement portal. When I say, they, he works for a private company that administers the DOT's retirement plan.   You know, I had previously been reluctant to do that and share all my financials with another party.    But, I've got to say, I've reconsidered and MIGHT enter it in there. It does some pretty impressive modeling and scenarios.    For the properties, you enter the address and they use Zillow estimated values.    It looks at how the graphs change when you get to the age of where any pensions and soc sec & all that enters your life.    All-in-all, maybe you thought I'd bust this guy's chops for being scarcity-minded or not about passive cash flow. But he was pretty good. It was an hour of my time well-spent, I would even say.    And again, the reason that I was able to be positioned this way comes down to… relying on compound LEVERAGE, not compound interest - casting the shadow of a 20-foot tall giant compared to when you're a 4-foot tall child.   BTW, I do NOT consider myself retired. I remote “asset manage” my REIs and I produce this show, produce videos for our YouTube channel, write our newsletter, and write for Forbes and more… on material that is interesting to me and helps others.   Coming up straight ahead, why do homes in Western US states cost more than homes in the East?   This fact makes zero sense to most people, because areas east of the Mississippi River are more densely populated.    In fact, nearly 2/3rds live on just over 1/3rd of the land, suggesting the East should clearly be pricier.    Then how could it be opposite? It might seem weird. That's coming up shortly.   You're listening to Get Rich Education podcast Episode 497. That means we're just three weeks away from a special, milestone, Episode 500.   I'll tell ya. I sure know how to put the performance pressure on myself, don't I? Ha!    Something here that we don't often talk about or offer the opportunity for…   … if you're a business owner or decision maker and would like to advertise on our platform, well, we'd like to check you out first.    Often, I use the product or service myself first.     Get Rich Education is ranked in the Top one-half of 1% of listened-to podcasts globally, per Listen Notes.    On air EVERY single week since 2014, some say that we were the first show to finally CLEARLY explain how RE makes ordinary people wealthy.    For advertising information and inquiries, visit, GetRichEducation.com/Ad. That's GetRichEducation.com/A-D   More next. I'm KW. You're listening to Get Rich Education.    A little tribute and melodic swan song to Russell Gray there.   Welcome back to Get Rich Education. I'm your host, KW.    Before returning to real estate, let's do a quick first quarter asset class review.   It's coming a little later than usual here. But it's good to see what the rest of the world is doing.    Almost everywhere you look, asset prices are up, up, up.   In real estate, as housing intelligence analyst Rick Sharga & I discussed in detail here in each of the last two weeks, prices & sales volume are both up.   The S&P had its best start to a year since 2019, up 11%   The yield on the 10-yr T-note was up 26 basis points. Remember that mortgage rates move closely along with that.    Gold was up 8% to an ATH over $2,200. And gold even touched $2,300 here in Q2.   In the first quarter, oil was up 15% to $83.   Bitcoin was up 68% to $70K   And the biggest beneficiary of AI hype, Nvidia was up 88% in just the first quarter.   And this is even wilder - a little wild card for you here - for the first time ever, cocoa prices briefly surpassed $10,000 per metric ton, making the confectionary commodity more valuable than copper.   That's what's goin' in the TOTAL investment world.   Why do homes out West cost more than homes in Eastern states?   This fact makes zero sense to most people, because the East is more densely populated.    According to the US Census Bureau, 64.4% of Americans live east of the Mississippi River. That's on land that's barely more than one-third of the US - because the Mississippi doesn't run right down the center, it's a little to the east of center in the contiguous states.   So this means that nearly 2/3rds of people live on just over 1/3rd of the land, suggesting the East has GOT be pricier.    Well, it's strange to many that it is, in fact, just the opposite. The West is pricier.   Now that pandemic migration and RE prices have settled, we've taken a fresh look at prices and this trend - which is curious to many - continues.   Let me demystify it for you.    And you saw a beautiful, colorful map that brilliantly demonstrates this. I sent it to you a few weeks ago if you're a DQYD Letter subscriber.    Now, there are some notable exceptions to "the West is pricier", like New England and south Florida. Housing is expensive in densely populated northeastern cities.   New Mexico is an outlier as a cheap western state.   No, the West is not pricier because The Kardashians' lavish $200M total portfolio of California real estate skews the entire nation.   Here's my more, I suppose, scholarly breakdown.    Yes, one of my degrees was in Geography before I became a real estate investor.   The first reason is - NEW: The west has more new-build homes.   Higher costs of land and labor, then, had to be priced in. Eastern homes are older because it's closer to Europe's (die-A-spruh) diaspora, where the US' early immigration was heaviest.   Then there's the factor of - the FEDS: No, not Jerome Powell's Fed.    It's that over 90% of federal land is located out West. No building is typically allowed here, and that makes developable land more scarce.   This helps explain why when you see huge swaths of undeveloped land when you fly over the West and think there's boundless room for growth and sprawl, often times, there… is… not.   3-D: Maps are 2-D. The world is 3-D. Western housing is expensive because you have scenarios like port cities surrounded by mountains and high desert.    So developable land is more scarce than it seems, making demand exceed supply in more places out West than what one might think.    San Fran is confined by the bay and hills. Seattle is confined to an isthmus. Salt Lake City is next to the Wasatch Range. Alaska looks enormous, but nearly half it's state's population lives in the biggest city of Anchorage, which is sandwiched between water, mountains, and that aforementioned federal land.   The fourth reason, is CALIFORNIA DREAMIN'. Despite recent domestic OUT migration and The Kardashians aside, California REALLY DOES help tilt the balance.    People are attracted to SoCal's Mediterranean climate such that nearly 1-in-8 Americans are still coolin' in Cali, with a median home price of $737,700. That climate desirability drives up prices.   Much of CA also has… these layers - just myriad - codes and limits and regulations like, for example, solar panels on new construction that can add $25K to a home's cost alone.   The next reason western homes cost more than Eastern home is, what I'll call…   DOWN BY THE RIVER:    [Play insert]   Ha! Famous classic comedy sketch there, with the late Chris Farley.    The East has the Great Lakes and more rivers.    It costs 1/12th as much to transport goods and housing materials over water than land.    That is a fact that has been stated on this show previously. It was first brought up a few years ago when we had geopolitical strategist Peter Zeihan here to discuss the “geography of real estate” with me.    A river city like Memphis is a GIGANTIC transportation hub, for example. This keeps down the costs for all kinds of consumer goods and building materials, making for a lower cost of living and, in turn, property prices.    QUAKIN': There's more seismicity out West. It costs more to BUILD to those construction standards.    For example, CA and WA are 20%+ more expensive to build than many Southeastern states. There are more fires in the Western US, tornadoes in the middle, and hurricanes in the East.   JOBS: It takes more high-paying jobs to attract new residents and get them to uproot and move to the faster-growing West. Higher incomes buy pricier homes.    The East has tons of jobs going for it too. In fact, the northeast might be the world's most productive region - NYC, Boston, Philly, DC.    But out in Appalachia and elsewhere, there are some waning business sectors like various heavy industries and coal. But most of the ones that were going to move out, already HAVE moved out, decades go. Much of that downdrain is overwith.   The last reason is…   I CAN SEE CLEARLY NOW: The West has mountain and desert VIEWS. These can be seen from farther away than Eastern… forest and flatter areas and piedmont landscapes. The East has a lot of lake and river view properties though… and…    There they are—8 reasons why Western homes cost more than Eastern homes.   Now you know why West Virginia has million dollar homes so big that you can get lost indoors.    And in coastal Cali, it seems like a million bucks gets you little more than a ramshackled pool house.   Of course, at times, I've had to make gross generalizations about such a vast nation of 340 million people and so many variables.    Otherwise, this episode could be a few hours long. As I discussed those, you sure could think to yourself at times, “I believe there's an EXCEPTION to that criterion.”   I want to tell you why this all MATTERS TO YOU shortly.    Yes, there is some irony here though. The western US has lands that are arid, inhospitable, and what some describe as wastelands, like four deserts.   Well, the invention of the air conditioner made those places more livable.    The West also has the most beautiful national parks, and hey, some find places in the East INhospitable, like Michigan's Upper Peninsula in March.   Now, I like a change in seasons, coming from Pennsylvania like I do, but some don't. You've got to serve real estate to where people want to own and rent.    Florida has not been thought of as a mosquito-infested swamp since last century. Today, it's livable and desirable to many.    Now, there are some other factors in addition to the main 8 reasons I've mentioned, on why Western US homes cost more than Eastern US homes, from a slavery legacy to unionization and more. I've been hitting the big ones here.   Real estate has made more ordinary people wealthy than anything else.    When you're on our website, GRE Marketplace, and hover over the blue "INVEST" button, you'll notice that most long-term rental investor markets are in the East.   There's a reason.   Rents are strong relative to this LOW PURCHASE PRICE that I've discussed here.   And now you know more of the “whys” behind the Eastern US' lower property prices. And maybe, today, I hope it's the BEST understanding you've ever had for why that's the case.    We buy in strategically chosen GROWTH areas that tend to be more East than West.    And, that's really part of the progression of this show. We began in 2014 with this podcast and other real estate investor education. We still lead with that.   But next, listeners wanted to know where they could FIND PROPERTIES conducive to our wealth-building strategy, and we added that at GRE Marketplace.    Yet, that still wasn't enough because I noticed that some of you that wanted to build your wealth with real estate, needed to make it easier to have your questions answered, or find a lender, or insurer, or find just the right property in the right market that fits your goals.   So starting more than two years ago, we added Investment Coaching - it's still free like everything else that we do here.    Our coaches are real people and real, direct, real estate investors just like you are… and just like I am. Our coaches simply have more EXPERIENCE doing it than most people do.   Because knowledge is not power, but knowledge plus action is power, I often like to leave you with something actionable… that's really going to help you at the close of the show.    If you didn't already know, you can find properties and a coach, at GREmarketplace.com   Until next week, I'm your host, KW. DQYD!

In this episode Judith Germain speaks to Roy Osing about his experience taking a startup company to $1 billion in revenue and his perspectives on differentiation and growth. Key Takeaways Focus on execution over planning - do just enough planning to start executing fast. Learn and adjust as you go. Create an actionable strategic plan in 48 hours focused on: how big, who to serve, what they crave. Differentiate with an "only" statement, not claims of being the "best". Hire for "goosebumps" - find people who love other people. Kill dumb rules that frustrate customers. Reduce friction, increase flow. Relentlessly translate strategy into line-of-sight actions for each employee In this conversation Roy emphasised executing strategies over talking about them. He created a planning process focused on immediate, measurable growth through defining goals and key actions within 24 months. Roy Osing is a former president, CMO and entrepreneur with over 40 years of successful and unmatched executive leadership experience in every aspect of business. He is the author of the no nonsense book series 'Be DiFFERENT or be dead', with 'The Audacious Unheard of Ways I took a Startup to A BILLION IN SALES' as his seventh'.

Packy McCormick is proof that writing online can attract real-world opportunities you never dreamed of. He went from 20 Substack subscribers to a $40 million venture fund — and he's still growing. In this episode, we dive into the three main “how's” of Packy's growth. First, he has a distinct, unforgettable style. His business-meets-memes newsletter, Not Boring, has amassed 220,000+ subscribers because his “funny finance guy” flair gives him an edge. Not to mention, it all started when he took the first-ever cohort of Write of Passage. (I may be biased, but seriously, that's when it started.) Next, Packy shares his domain expertise. He sees writing and investing as the perfect one-two punch. His goal? Share what he knows, and make a behind-the-scenes world accessible to the average audience. And finally, Packy adds value to his readers. Relentlessly. Not by telling them what to think, but by trying to change the way they think. In a world filled with Beta content — cheap entertainment that disappears in 24 hours — Packy creates Alpha content — quality work that has long-term relevance. Style. Expertise. Value.

Each experienced some form of global fame, as well as the consequences that come with too much attention. In TOXIC, Sarah writes, "…tearing these women to pieces was both a social activity and a form of divination. In the entrails of their reputations, we hunted for clues about what a woman ought to be…" We talk: teen magazines, blogs, promise rings, sex tapes, and Britney Spears' "cult of virginity", celebrity memoirs, Justin Timberlake's homemade shotgun, why Taylor Swift reminds me of Avril Lavigne, and what Donald Trump owes to WWE.

Relentlessly helpful® is his trademarked phrase, and I having known John for a while I know it's not just a trademark but his life's purpose! He's not only a LinkedIn nerd (his word not mine) but a speaker and now a conference organiser, too. Did you know that LinkedIn doesn't run its own conference? I think they're missing a trick, but luckily for us John has stepped up and with the help of Jeremy Freeman and Gus Bhandal has organised the LinkedIn focused Uplift Live event in Birmingham next month. So, I took the opportunity to ask John not just about speaking, video and showing up on LinkedIn but also how he went about choosing and booking speakers and what he thought it took to be a good speaker. He also gives some great advice on how to get picked to speak at an event. There are some fabulous questions from the audience and some wise and insightful take aways from John. I particularly liked his advice to make the biggest promise you can keep and use the smallest set of words to describe yourself.

In this interview, you'll learn about why emphasizing the importance of understanding audience problems and being relentlessly helpful is so important to success. Susan Baier is a marketing expert that focuses on helping business owners with research. One of my favorite parts of this interview is why it's so important to be relentlessly helpful. Highlights from the Interview Thought leadership and building trust with audiences Susan explained how research shows audiences want thought leaders addressing new, helpful perspectives from those they trust, advising focusing on problems audiences face rather than self-promotion. Developing a clear niche and problem-solving focus Susan stressed starting with the problems a niche solves before defining characteristics, advising focusing communication on problems while expanding offerings to problems on clients' journeys.  Focusing on the problem that they are struggling with. They will listen to you because they want to learn more. Being relentlessly helpful through consistent generosity Susan defined being relentlessly helpful as constantly asking "how else can I help?" within business parameters, advising generosity builds trust and differentiation for leaders, employees, and clients. Establishing organizational vision, values, and goals Susan shared that regularly revisiting goals with teams keep leaders accountable to stakeholders, advising transparency of motivations builds employee commitment to shared missions over profits. She explains that this isn't easy to do, but very important to keep everyone inspired to do great work. Showing gratitude for those who help us grow Susan thanked past leader Jay Baer for energizing their work through humor and fearlessness, advising gratitude routines remind people of leaders' positive influences and build connections.

Have you ever wondered what sets apart a thriving community from a stagnant one on professional platforms like LinkedIn? What secret ingredients are necessary to turn a disparate group of individuals into a vibrant paid community? In today's digital age, the concept of building exclusive communities on social media platforms has skyrocketed in popularity. LinkedIn, in particular, has emerged as a powerful space where professionals can connect, share knowledge, and unlock new opportunities. However, not every attempt at creating a paid community on LinkedIn succeeds. The real question is, what does it truly take to build a successful paid community on a platform like LinkedIn? In today's episode of the Insight Out podcast, I have the pleasure of sitting down with John Espirian. John is a content marketing expert and Espresso+ community founder on LinkedIn who specializes in helping small businesses and solopreneurs thrive online without resorting to ads or cringe-worthy sales tactics. With a commitment to genuine connections, he guides clients to build effective and authentic presences on LinkedIn and the web. In our conversation, we dive deep into John's journey of building a paid community and the ethos that has been the cornerstone of his success: being"relentlessly helpful," and the challenges faced along the way.

(If you prefer, you can watch this article in video form here)The youngster setting out on life in the west has a major problem. We live in a society that penalises hard work. Punitively and relentlessly.As Daylight Robbery readers will know, over the course of a life, half of everything a typical worker earns will be taken from him by the government. More if you factor in inflation. People think a house is the most expensive purchase you will ever make. It isn't. It is, by far and away, your government. And it's a forced purchase as well.Not only is the produce of your labour confiscated, it is spent on things on which you may often be philosophically opposed: wars, waste, masks, rainbow road crossings, corruption, human rights lawyers, Stonewall. I could go on.But that is the bind in which the western citizen finds himself. It is the price he must pay for a civilised society.So the typical worker finds himself working hour upon hour merely to stay afloat, his produce confiscated, week in week out. We can't all be Elon Musk, much as we would like to be. Unless you have a very well paid job indeed, this is your reality. It is very hard to get on. You are trapped.To make it worse, the money you are paid in also loses its value. Relentlessly. Thus what you got to keep is taken from you too.This will remain your reality, unless you change it.One solution, as I outline here, is to convert as much of your pay as possible into strong currency, but with 50% of your earnings constantly confiscated it is still a rough deal. (And don't say income taxes are lower than that, I know they are. There are many other taxes we must pay too.)So what to do?The answer is leave. Go somewhere where taxes are lower and the currency is stronger. Then you will be rewarded for your labour. And through your labour, you might actually be able to save and improve your lot.I have never been crazy about Dubai. I've always found the place a bit false. It lacks culture. I prefer places that are a bit more organic. I'd rather be in a quaint English village with an old pub and a beautiful church, wandering through the City with its mysterious, historical back alleys or lounging in some terracotta Mediterranean villa. What's more, the thought of the slave labour on which Dubai was built makes me feel very uncomfortable. In my stand-up act I sometimes do a joke: “as a stand-up you need some ready-made put-downs in case you have problem people in the audience, so I have been working on my put-downs, and the best I've been able to come up with is … You look like the sort of person that likes Dubai.” (Some audiences - usually cultured ones - love that joke, others are baffled by it)But all that said, every time I have been to Dubai I have had a good time. A very good time in fact. And I have always been well looked after.But here's the thing. There is no Income Tax in Dubai. VAT is just 5%. There is no Stamp Duty. There is no TV tax. There is no Council Tax. Petrol is cheap. Corporation tax is much lower. Booze, fags and sugary drinks face 50% excise duties. But who cares? You drink too much anyway.As for the money you are paid in, UAE dirham, well, that's pegged to the US dollar. It's not ideal, but it's better than the pound. So go the UAE, work, keep what you earn and, even in a relatively low-ranking job, in five years you will suddenly you'll find yourself in a very different, much stronger position than if you had stayed in UK, Europe or any high tax jurisdiction.Look at how crap our governments are.

Make friends. Be relentlessly helpful. It doesn't have to be any more complicated than that.” I believe it is simple, but we invest a lot of our resources piling up on that simplicity to see how complicated we can make it. As a homeschool mom of three boys (18 years, graduated two with the third back after a three-year break), I know that life will be full of interesting moments, so there is no need to make it more complicated than it has to be. With a focus on hope and encouragement through words, I've kept going even when a tornado dropped on our house. Words make a difference, and I put words to work to change the world – or just to change my attitude for the day (which is changing the world one attitude at a time). The power of words drives me to find more ways to share words. I put my words to work in a full-time freelance career in 2004. I have expanded my platform using words by penning books and eBooks. I invest with words in others by speaking at events, on podcasts, and through live streaming into others because it is all about relationships.

You see this kind of thing over and over again from Israel apologists.

That's what's happening when they tell you Israel is "defending itself" and "targeting Hamas" when they're mostly killing women and children and bombing entire city blocks into powder, and that's what's happening when they tell you over and over again that you hate Jews and love terrorists even when you know for a fact that you don't.

You want to make a difference to our democracy? Get more people registered to vote. Today we talk to Jason Berlin, the Executive Director of Field Team 6, which since its founding in 2019 has helped register almost 2.9 million Democratic voters, the vast majority in swing states. Jason and his team are a proudly “partisan voter registration” group looking to “track down every good hearted eligible voter and get them on the voter rolls where they belong”. Relentlessly optimistic, Jason and his army of volunteers have disproved the idea that you can't out organize cheating, and know that non-voters are actually the key to democratic victories across this country. So tuck in and listen to what you can personally do to turn the tide and shut these cheaters down in 2023, 2024, and beyond.

The secret of mastery (arguably) lives in a single word. Minimalism.I've been teaching this for two decades. Saying that “minimalism isn't just a design vibe. It's a lifestyle.” Encouraging human beings in fiery pursuit of their private Mount Everests to do less to achieve more. …To stop chasing complexity and obsess with simplicity. …To reject maximalism and filling their days with too many activities [and their closets with too many things].If you'd like so much more information like this to keep you focused on your mission in these trying times along with science-backed insights and daily practices to increase your happiness, performance and peacefulness......Go ahead and read my latest book The Everyday Hero Manifesto. It's become a worldwide phenomenon because it works. Period.FOLLOW ROBIN SHARMA:InstagramFacebookTwitterYouTube

Love Life And Lose Weight

Relational capacity, as I define it describes your ability to meet your expectations of what you know you need to think, feel, and do in order to lose weight. Weight loss will always involve noticing what level of performance you are at; especially when you notice you did not take the desired actions you are after. Understanding these letdown moments is so much more helpful if you frame the situation in terms of where your capacity level was at that moment. Noticing how you aren't doing what you know you want to do will be so much more fruitful if you frame that level of performance as a capacity issue and THEN commit to slowly building your capacity with a commitment to BUILDING that capacity. As a coach, I so often see my clients viewing their capacity limits, for example, when they overeat pizza again on Friday night as seeming PROOF of inability, and nothing could be further from the truth. Instead, you can approach your current level of performance and habits around weight loss in terms of optimizing your capacity and working at the edges of where you are at. Relentlessly notice your progress and wins, and never use your current capacity against yourself and your goals and dreams. Coach Homework: Write about what you think is in the way of you reaching your goals? Make a list. For each item, consider where you are with relational capacity for it. Can this area be optimized with focus and practice? How exactly can you work at the edges of your current level of performance? Describe what would that would look like. Then make a plan to start this week by writing it into your weekly and daily planner. To get a copy of these planners, join the list.  Support the showVisit me @thriveinmidlife on Instagram on the episode reel and comment with your ah-ha's, takeaways, homework, and/or questions from this episode, and let's keep the conversation going.Want all of the best tips and strategies from the podcast in one place to help you lose weight?

Join 10's of thousands of your fellow learning leaders and receive a carefully curated email from me each Monday morning to help you start your week off right... Full show notes at www.LearningLeader.com Twitter/IG: @RyanHawk12   https://twitter.com/RyanHawk12 Dr. Julie Gurner is a doctor of psychology and is a nationally recognized executive performance coach for individual and corporate clients primarily in finance and technology. Trusted by top percentile talent and their teams to help them achieve world-class performance in fast-paced, high-pressure, extremely competitive environments. She's been compared to Wendy Rhoades of "Billions" in The Wall Street Journal (2019), and named a “Game Changer” by IBM. Notes: High Standards: Holding a high bar is uncomfortable because it is "exclusionary," and most people want to make everyone around them happy & comfortable. If you hold a standard, it can't include everything... Figuring out your line & holding to it, will mean some tough conversations. “I think that there are two ways of looking at things that have happened to you. You can be a victim or you can be a survivor. Those are two very different cognitive positions." Balance: “People will tell you in books that you have to live a “balanced life,” but if we are completely honest, almost all great things are born from periods of imbalance.” Staying Small: A concept I believe, is that most people stay small, or don't go for what they truly want...because they believe that "imaginary rules" are true Be a Learner: The worst professionals, are the ones that stop learning the moment they graduate from school. And they are the majority. Being autodidactic - a self-learner - who also takes initiative, will have you in the top 10% of anything you take on. Goals: If your goals are "realistic," you are operating in a box. Check yourself. "If you want to be a game changer, you can't blend in." Know Yourself: When people are unable to commit to anything, it's because they don't know who they are. Shiny objects professionally (or personally) reflect a lack of certainty. When you get a genuine shot in the arm from what you do...of course, it's going to be hard to stop doing it. You're on fire. So many people are living their lives with the volume turned down. They don't get it. You don't have to live that way. Crank that energy up. "The people who rise aren't always the most talented or capable, but they are fueled by self-belief. Once you understand that, much of the business world makes sense." The difference between persistence and tenacious… persistent people stick to the plan to get to the goal. Tenacious people may change their plans altogether. A trait in the people who go on to do great things? Paul Graham defines it as being “relentlessly resourceful.” I see it all the time. Here's a practical zero-to-one process to be relentlessly resourceful, if you want to set yourself up for some big swings. Julie goes on a daily walk around her farm. She uses that walk to reflect, think, and be outside. It helps her synthesize information.  What makes a great executive coach? A sweet spot between talking and listening... A great executive coach gives their clients space to talk. They listen. They ask great follow-up questions. They help unlock people. They help them become multipliers.  How to deal with imposter syndrome? "You probably have the ability, but you're not understanding your own story." It's important to keep taking chances. To keep meeting the moment. Julie helps her clients tap in to and write their own stories.
