Do you think of your mid-century home as historic? Maybe you don't. After all, MCM stands for mid-century MODERN. But these houses are all 50 to 75 years old at this point. That's getting up there! Because of that, I am bringing you a conversation with my favorite expert on caring for historic homes, Scott Sidler, the historic window whisperer. In his opinion, mid-century homes and our original windows may or may not be obviously historic.And we are really on the same page about the intended permanence of mid-century houses and everything built before. They were meant to be repaired and maintained for long periods of time. As far as Scott and I are concerned, this is where historic and mid-century are perfectly aligned. I wasn't halfway through this conversation before I started to wonder to myself, did we just become best friends?In Today's Episode You'll Hear:How Scott went from Disney performer to historic window wizard. Why your windows might be experimental rather than historic. Where to find the right methods and materials to keep your original windows in service for years to come.

Michael Wear joins Mark Labberton to reframe politics through the kingdom logic of hope, agency, and practices of silence and solitude. As 2025 closes amid political discord, we might all ask whether joy can be real in public life—without denial, escapism, or contempt. "… Joy is a pervasive and constant sense of wellbeing." In this conversation, Michael Wear and Mark Labberton reflect on joy, hope, responsibility, and agency amid a reaction-driven politics. Together they discuss the realism of Advent; the limits of our control; how kingdom imagination reframes anger; hope beyond outcomes, dignity under threat, and practices (including silence and solitude) that restore clarity.

Hello! This is Episode 383, and in it, we’re getting an update from HOME Method members, Louise and Zane, about their renovation project. They’re currently under construction in their renovation and extension of a Californian Bungalow in Melbourne. [For all resources mentioned in this podcast and a free, downloadable PDF transcript, head to www.undercoverarchitect.com/383] If you haven’t heard the earlier parts of Louise and Zane’s journey, head back to Episodes 317 and 318, and then their most recent updates in Episodes 354 and 355. You’ll hear how they approached choosing their team, what they wanted to create with their Californian Bungalow renovation and extension in Melbourne, and the early preparation they did to set themselves up well. You can find those at: www.undercoverarchitect.com/317 www.undercoverarchitect.com/318 www.undercoverarchitect.com/354 www.undercoverarchitect.com/355 In this conversation, Louise and Zane share where the project is at now, and the great news is that construction is moving along smoothly and they’re getting to enjoy that shift where the house starts to feel like a home. They also talk candidly about the early challenges of bank finance and timing, and how, once that was resolved, they’ve been able to find a really solid rhythm with the build. We also dive into how they’ve used the PAC Process with their team, why their Design Brief (using the Brief Builder template from HOME Method) has been such an important anchor for decisions. They also discuss how having their architect also act as their interior designer helped bring forward key selections and reduce pressure during construction. Not all architects work this way, so it’s super interesting to hear how this helped Louise and Zane in their project. Plus, they share how and why they’ve staged parts of the project, including what they’ve done now to make stage two simpler when they’re ready. It’s a fantastic update that shows how the preparation, learning and work they did in the earlier parts of their project is now supporting a streamlined, confident and collaborative construction process overall. And if you’d like to grab a full transcript of this episode, you can find all of that by heading to www.undercoverarchitect.com/383. Now, let’s dive in!

285 - Silicon Valley to Mobile Home Rentals with Valentina Selskaya In this episode of the Real Estate Investor Growth Network Podcast, Jen Josey sits down with REIGN member Valentina Selskaya, a former Silicon Valley IT leader turned powerhouse real estate investor. Valentina shares the unfiltered story of her first mobile home project—a deal that started with skepticism and ended with a cash-flowing rental, offering up a treasure trove of lessons for investors at every stage. The conversation is packed with actionable tips, candid reflections, and a healthy dose of humor about the realities of flipping and holding unconventional properties. The episode opens with Jen's signature "Badassery Bestowment," highlighting the importance of keeping business and personal finances separate—a rookie mistake that can cause major headaches down the line. Valentina then takes listeners through her journey: from finding the deal through a wholesaler, to navigating a hoarder house filled with surprises (and fleas!), to overcoming financing hurdles and ultimately turning a challenge into a high-yield rental. Along the way, she shares the unexpected costs, the joys of working with great tenants, and the unique quirks of mobile home investing in Florida. The conversation wraps with Valentina's insights on mindset, systems, and the value of community. She discusses her approach to time management, the role of the REIGN Mastermind in her growth, and what success means to her now that she's achieved financial freedom. Whether you're new to real estate or looking for inspiration to tackle your next big project, this episode delivers practical takeaways and motivational wisdom in classic REIGN style. 5 Key Takeaways Keep Your Finances Separate: Mixing business and personal funds can lead to confusion, legal issues, and tax-time headaches. Open dedicated business accounts and track every transaction from day one. Expect the Unexpected: Flipping a hoarder mobile home brought surprises—like four dumpsters of trash, hidden structural issues, and a flea infestation. Always budget extra for the unknown and bring a flashlight! Mobile Homes Are Different (and Profitable!): While mobile homes come with unique challenges, they can offer strong cash flow and easier permitting—especially in markets like Florida. Just be prepared for stricter lending limits. Trust Your Gut with Tenants: Valentina's story highlights the value of trusting intuition when selecting renters. Her contractor tenant not only pays on time but improved the property, proving that good people make great investments. Community & Action Drive Success: Valentina credits her growth to taking action (not overthinking), leveraging mastermind support, and focusing on systems that fit her style. Financial freedom, for her, means spending time with loved ones and living life on her terms. Guest Bio: Valentina Selskaya Valentina Selskaya is a former IT leader from Silicon Valley who launched her real estate investing journey in 2017 as a weekend side hustle. In just four years, she achieved full financial independence, leaving the corporate world to build a thriving business focused on house flips and a diverse portfolio of long, mid, and short-term rentals. Based in Georgia, Valentina is known for her analytical mind, fearless approach to new challenges, and commitment to helping others succeed. She's a licensed real estate agent, a valued REIGN Mastermind member, and a passionate advocate for the power of mindset and community in transforming lives.

And so in our life of faith in Jesus, we have a similar choice to make as we did with the hypothetical violin. And if you're not into music, then picture getting a brand new set of golf clubs or a pair of snow skis or a new air fryer or whatever it is that captures that sense of new that goes, "Oh, wow. That'd be cool." Right? But we have the choice to make whether we are going to just pack this new life in Jesus that we've received, put it in a box marked religious stuff, and stuff it up in the closet, or are we going to learn how to live it?

Together they discuss the realism of Advent; the limits of our control; how kingdom imagination reframes anger; hope beyond outcomes, dignity under threat, and practices (including silence and solitude) that restore clarity. Episode Highlights "Joy is a pervasive and constant sense of wellbeing. … Joy is not a technique to then get people to do what you want them to do." "God's Kingdom is the range of his effective will." " Someone whose hope is rightly placed sees that a dignity denying culture does not have the final say." "Our will is effective and those things in which our will is not effective." "The pattern of domination and violence is an old one."

"Willard would say joy is a pervasive and constant sense of wellbeing." " It is very difficult to have joy if you are taking responsibility for things that are not your responsibility." Public life as joyless space; lacking imagination for joy amid provocation, antagonism, and constant political showmanship "If there are places in our life where we can't conceive of joy, it's a problem with our view of God." Misplaced responsibility, misplaced hope; joy collapses when taking on burdens that aren't ours and treating agency as ultimate "God's kingdom is the range of his effective will." "We each have our own little kingdoms … where what we say to be done is done." Politics reveals limits; a clarity about what we can do, what we can't do, and what we must import into the rest of life "Our will is effective, and there are things in which our will is not effective." "Faithfulness is not the ability to determine a righteous outcome … to everything in which our lives touch." False responsibility, obscured agency Are we taking charge of what isn't ours while ignoring the real choices we do have? "That's a recipe for joylessness." Poked and prodded by provocations; entertainment, antagonisms, and helplessness normalize reaction and justify complicity Anger as political fuel Many assume that raising your voice is the only faithful posture inside the public arena. "I've had people respond to me: 'How am I going to get anything done in politics without anger?'" "Political imagination has been taken over by a political logic as opposed to a kingdom logic." Relearning responsibility and agency; hope not grounded in our effectiveness, but in what God is doing beyond our reach. "Ultimate hope lies outside of the range of our effective will." "It is in that realm in which we are perfectly safe." Hope is for a life that pervades all things. "So when your hope is in the right place, you can hope for a whole range of things." " Someone whose hope is rightly placed sees that a dignity denying culture does not have the final say." Hope and joy "when your back is against the wall" Allen Temple Baptist Church: Joy at the margins of culture Fannie Lou Hamer Howard Thurman, Jesus and the Disinherited First Presbyterian Church in Evanston, IL Michael Wear, The Spirit of Our Politics Psalm 23 as distress-psalm: Enemies are still present, yet God leads beside still waters and cares most in greatest distress. "Take off the old self with its practices and put on the new self." "Put on Christ now in a way that will affect everything around us." Herod: The paranoid leader Advent into Christmastide—what it means to dwelling in Emmanuel "This is why the incarnation is such an extraordinarily important cornerstone: It's that God enters in through Jesus into our world, in a world in which, yes, there may be great praises in heaven and on earth from those who understand something at least of who he is and what he's there to do. But it also lands him in a world of immediate physical and familial vulnerability of political and social, if not military, violence." Are we protected from vulnerability, or living in precarity?

There's just something about love that feels too overwhelming, feels too vulnerable. It feels too simple, too easy. It feels even too good to be true. But if we do let it in, even just a little, it becomes the truth that gives us hope, that brings us peace, that fills us with mega joy. Just the fact that God loves us makes even the hardest things in life filled with light. But we, you and I, have to let it in. We have to allow it to count. We have to live in light of its truth. God has done everything. Not just Christmas, but literally everything that he has ever done. God has done it all out of love. But it is up to us to notice. It's up to us to believe it, to accept it, and let it transform our life.

What comes to mind when you hear the phrase the God of the Bible? What's the demeanor of the God who lives in your head? How does he feel about this world? Maybe more personally, how does he feel about you? Don't polish it up. Don't pretty it up when you think, "What does God think about me? How does God feel about me? Does God think about me? Does God feel anything for me?" If you could see his face and survive, what would his face tell you about how he feels about you? What expression is on his face at the mention of your name? Mad, disappointed, frustrated, pity. What emoji would God use when he hears your name; headshake, eye roll, laughter, frown. What adjectives immediately come to your mind when you hear the word God; maybe some of these: holy, distant, righteous, weak, annular, just, powerful, cheery, sinister, impotent, gracious, loving, kind. Question, how about joyous? Is that on the list? Does he laugh? Does his head, if he has a head, throw back when he laughs hard? Does he delight? Does God delight? Does God ever look upon the world? Does God ever look upon the oceans with some measure of, that was a good day. I delight in that. When he sees his cosmic masterpieces, and we've named only a few of them, but when he sees his cosmic masterpieces, is he bored by them now? Has he gotten tired of them? Is your God joyous? Is my God joyous?

David Moore joins Brandon Sedloff on The Distribution for a candid conversation about his unconventional path into real estate, the early grind of building Knightvest, and how his team has scaled into one of the country's most active multifamily owner operators. He reflects on growing up in an entrepreneurial household, navigating early career uncertainty, and stumbling into real estate through necessity rather than design. David walks through the chaotic early days of buying properties at auction, running them by hand, and slowly transforming that experience into a vertically integrated, disciplined, and highly scaled platform. He also shares his perspective on today's operating environment, how he thinks about acquisitions, and what it takes to sustain performance across cycles. They discuss: • The influence of David's upbringing and the entrepreneurial parallels he saw in his father's work • Knightvest's origin story, including buying its first apartments at a tax auction and learning the business on-site • How the firm evolved from survival mode to institutional partnerships and large-scale operations • The decision to adopt a fund model and what it means for long-term continuity • Knightvest's renovation philosophy, vertical integration, and localized acquisition strategy • Current portfolio trends, market pressures, and how the team is preparing for future opportunities Links: Knightvest Capital - https://knightvestcapital.com/ David on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/david-moore-03005a39/ Brandon on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/bsedloff/ Juniper Square - https://www.junipersquare.com/ Topics: (00:00:00) - Intro (00:01:53) - David's background and career (00:05:35) - Transition to real estate and founding Knightvest (00:09:22) - Early struggles and first investments (00:18:31) - Scaling the business and institutional partnerships (00:22:31) - Current state of Knightvest (00:26:43) - Challenges in fundraising (00:30:40) - Scaling (00:32:34) - Renovation philosophies (00:36:36) - Vertical integration pros and cons (00:41:15) - Market trends and portfolio insights (00:44:54) - Future strategies and acquisitions (00:48:29) - Choosing the right investment partner (00:52:56) - Conclusion and contact information

This week we continue our Christmas series. Join us as we learn that the Lord lifts up the humble, that God remembers the faithful, and our God offers generational blessings.
Jesus incarnated the way of shalom. He taught us about it. He showed us what it does and how it drastically differs from the ways of this world. See, in the way of shalom, in the way of peace, people love their enemies. They confront violence with love. In the way of shalom, the strong care for the weak. The forgotten are included. The marginalized are valued. The poor are fed. Power is used for good. Reconciliation and restoration replace division and discord. Forgiveness instead of payback. Hope instead of despair. Humility in place of pride, gentleness instead of anger. On and on and on we could go. The Sermon on the Mount is the way of shalom.
✨ Dreaming of your perfect renovation but feeling overwhelmed by choices? This episode is your blueprint for turning that swirl of ideas into a clear, practical renovation wish list. We'll walk through how to separate the “must-haves” from the “nice-to-haves,” how to spot the areas worth splurging on, and where you can save without sacrificing style or function. From the emotional side of creating a space you'll truly love to the practical realities of budgets and timelines, you'll discover how to bring clarity and confidence to your planning process. Think of this as your step-by-step guide to prioritizing wisely—so your finished renovation feels not only beautiful but deeply personal.
Peace is not the absence of chaos, it is the presence of a Savior. It's not the removal of trouble or the pain in our lives, but the presence of Jesus with us in it. What if true Peace (Shalom) is not something that happens to us, but something we pursue? This message includes a video from @wonderhuntco : https://www.wonderhunt.co/films/here-and-everywhere It is a great reminder that we can find peace in any situation.
Renovation, an urban renewal plan in Moscow that was announced in the spring of 2017, proposed to demolish thousands of socialist-era apartment buildings. In a country where it is rare under an authoritarian government, residents supported or opposed the redevelopment by mobilizing and organizing into local alliances. They were often shocked by their neighbors who were excited about the new housing or those suspicious of being displaced. Private Life, Public Action: How Housing Politics Mobilized Citizens in Moscow (Temple UP, 2025) by Dr. Anna Zhelnina traces how residents impacted by the relocation plan became activists despite having little to no experience organizing or even forming political affiliations and opinions. Dr. Zhelnina details the ways in which neighbors engaged in collective action, as well as the individual and structural changes these interactions caused. Dr. Zhelnina develops the concept of “housing strategies” to explain how residents' debates with their neighbors about housing were shaped by their private life strategies. She applies her findings about housing in Moscow to ongoing questions about political mobilization, demonstrating how public engagement is shaped by historical and social contexts. Examining the intersection of housing, politics, and citizenship in contemporary Russia, Private Life, Public Action offers a new way to look at urban change. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

I have to admit being a reluctant provider of gift guides. The “check your inbox”, “must have gift lists” and “buying guides” kind of give me the ick. Especially since we've just been hounded by all of this Black Friday Energy, all of this “buy right now energy”. Today I'm going to take a slightly different approach to the nature of a gift guide, and I'm going to go out on a limb here and say, that you already know you can gift someone more than an object.

Bureau of Meteorology Website Renovation Fails — Jeremy Zakis — Zakis reported on the Australian Bureau of Meteorology (BOM), which failed to accurately predict the La Niña weather cycle and subsequent rainfall patterns. A $96.5 million website renovation project resulted in a broken, non-intuitive digital platform that systematically downplayed rainfall severity in visual representations. The project's exorbitant cost, attributed partly to expensive consulting fees and extensive testing protocols, has prompted investigation by the Australian federal government regarding waste and contract oversight. 1913 BRISBANE
