In episode #124, Kendra shares her personal story of loss. Before conceiving, she was told that she had low progesterone and estrogen dominance - a hormone imbalance that could result in miscarriage. With no other information or assistance offered, Kendra and her husband tried to get pregnant for 16 long months. Shortly after they finally conceived, Kendra began experiencing pain and spotting. Medical professionals advised that it could be an ectopic pregnancy, but it was too early to know for sure. It was not until after she miscarried, and then changed doctors, that Kendra regained her hope in one day becoming a mother. She was diagnosed with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), and conceived her son the first month her doctor put her on Clomid. Kendra had to do a lot of her own research on this journey, and it inspired her to support others going through similar experiences. She is studying to become an integrative wellness coach, specializing in grief, miscarriage, and hormones. She is also working toward becoming a bereavement doula. We discuss coping strategies, how to advocate for yourself, and the importance of listening to your inner voice.

Questions Covered: 01:21 – My question involves a Frankenstein' monster scenario. Let's suppose that the monster's body was created as provided in the original novel. Let's also suppose that the body parts were all gathered from baptized persons. After coming to life, would the monster need to be baptized in order to have the stain of original sin removed? 06:11 – Why do things fly off the shelf by themselves? Why do we hear heavy footsteps on our ceiling when we only have a one-story house? Why do our cats avoid a certain spot in the living room and spend hours alertly watching it? 13:16 – I believe in ghosts, or whatever it is that we call ghosts, because my daughter has seen them when she was younger and scared us all. What did she see? If ghosts are real, what are they? Why would someone be able to see them? 23:53 – If you lean too close when blowing out your Jack-o’-lantern, can the pumpkin suck out your soul? 30:02 – I know someone who died, and he was very possibly in mortal sin. His wife died a few years earlier, she was a good faithful Catholic. He spoke to two different relatives probably within an hour after he had just passed and revealed to them that he was not in the same place as his wife, he said that he could not see her. Both relatives didn’t even know he had passed away, he spoke to them in their dreams with the same message. How does that happen? 34:05 – Is Father Amorth fake and/or just a product of the Satanic Panic? If he is fake, is he sincere in his beliefs or is he some type of Satanic Panic Grifter like Mike Warnke and Zachary King? In the case of Father Amorth I still believe in exorcism, but Father Amorth's claims, and documentaries make me think that he is not a good exorcist. RESOURCE MENTIONED: http://www.canonlaw.info/a_amorth.htm 36:57 – Could a gateway to hell exist? Such as the legend of Stull, KS 40:42 – My daughter, Lauren, would like to know the history of the tradition of carving pumpkins and if it had any connection to the Catholic “All Hallows Eve” 43:16 – Is serving Candy Corn a mortal or venial sin? 44:11 – I hear demons are not able to reveal a person’s sins IF that person already went to Confession. And demons especially hate Latin. Are either true? 48:28 – Catholic Apologist Matt Fradd does a horror podcast called Sibling Horror… it can get pretty spooky. My question is, can someone listening or writing such stuff put them in any danger of even an occasion of sin since it could be entertaining thoughts and scenarios that could lead down a dark path? Or is that something that would change depending upon the inclination of the specific individual? …

Is there a gospel somewhere (small “g” because it’s not in the canon of Scripture) that attests to it? I believe it–I just would love to hear where it was written down what happened, and how everyone reacted, kind of like the Ascension narrative! 30:02 – After St. Peter died, what were the relative levels of authority between the subsequent popes and the remaining apostles? 34:17 – If through Adam's sin we all inherit original sin, and if Jesus is the new Adam, why do all of us after Jesus’ time who are children of baptized people still inherit original sin? 36:22 – How do we know (and explain) that the catechism doesn't contradict prior Church teaching about there being “No salvation outside of the Catholic Church”? 44:11 – In the book “Ten Popes who Shook the World,” Eamon Duffy wrote: “The most famous of all ‘papal' bible texts, Mathew 16:18 – ‘You are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my Church…and I will give to you the keys of the kingdom of heaven'—is quoted in no Roman source before the time of the Decian persecution in the middle of the third century, and the very roots of what may be called the foundation myth of the papacy are uncomfortably complicated.” True or not, what makes a “Roman” source definitive and what is the earliest/best source for this passage. 50:11 – Why do we kneel for prayer during Mass and yet we stand for The Lords Prayer?? 51:32 – Was Moe Berg really a spy? …

[00:01:27] Christine Hsu: So, if you go to the store on the shelves, there's a lot of manufactured foods behind all of that is the technical part of a food scientist that formulates those food products to make it scalable and can be mass produced. That's my background. [00:01:42] Christine Hsu: There's a lot of engineering, biology, chemistry behind that. And yeah, so my specialty, when in my career was actually a sensory. So I studied how people perceived how they experienced food through their five senses and measured it through statistics and research. So it was really interesting. [00:02:04] Sam Wilson: I'm sure. I'm sure it is. So you were part of the team responsible for making that awesome lime flavor on those todos lime chip. That probably has no lime in it. I'm assuming, but uh, certainly tastes like lime. [00:02:17] Christine Hsu: Yeah. It has lime flavors that are extracted from actual limes, but they put it into a powder and they spray it onto the chips. [00:02:24] Sam Wilson: Yes. That's just wild and crazy. I love it. Very cool. But you said, Hey, I'm not loving this, let's get into real estate. what gave you the real estate bug? [00:02:33] Christine Hsu: Yeah, so, I mean, I loved what I did. I just didn't like the corporate culture and, Just being in a corporate environment, it felt a little bit to me like stifling. [00:02:42] Christine Hsu: It was just you how to show up to work every day, eight to five, at least if not more, when you had projects that required more attention. And even on the slower days where there's less projects, you still had to show up eight to five. So, I feel like there wasn't as much flexibility and really what hit the nail on the head was when I had kids young kids, I was. [00:03:01] Christine Hsu: I would rather be at home watching my, six month old play than be here and do this stuff. So , I decided actually I asked my stuff. I was like, well, what can I do where I can still replace my income, bring home Bring home income to my family, but still have that flexibility and landed on real estate. [00:03:21] Christine Hsu: And actually a lot of arrows pointed to real estate as being an advantage, including tax benefits that also, brought a huge benefit to our family. So that's kind of how I landed [00:03:30] Sam Wilson: there. How long did it take you to go from single family to multifamily? [00:03:34] Christine Hsu: Yes. It took about, well, it was a little bit of both because when I became a single family investor, I did the birth strategy in parallel to that. [00:03:44] Christine Hsu: I was also investing as a limited partner alongside all the active stuff that I was doing with rehabs and leasing and all that stuff. I had set aside money to put, to work on the. Passive side as a limited partner so that, that can make me money too. So it was two, it was a parallel path. [00:04:00] Christine Hsu: I mean, I would say I was always involved in commercial and really I was had the intention of going that direction, but wanted to watch from the sidelines first to see the real, the big time experts how they run their show. And then it took about maybe a year. A year or two about a year and a half before I said, okay, I'm gonna go active into syndications in multifamily. [00:04:22] Sam Wilson: Gotcha. That's that's really cool. I love that. Tell me, if you have a background in, measuring how people perceive and taste food, right? Like that's yeah. That's a very nuanced skill. What are some parallels you see in between what you learned as a food scientist, doing what you did there to, how you approach your multifamily investments. [00:04:42] Sam Wilson: Are there any [00:04:42] Christine Hsu: parallels? There are definitely parallels because I think both meet the basic need of human beings. You've got food and you've got shelter. And I like to focus on those, you invest in things that will change lives. I think that was something that I heard recently, a quote. And they are things that we need. [00:05:00] Christine Hsu: So I feel like recently now I'm, I'm starting to raise some capital for some larger deals. It's all about meeting a need. And I feel like there are a lot of people out there who are, making decent incomes. They don't have time to be active investors, but they do wanna invest passively and all they know is the stock market. [00:05:23] Christine Hsu: So no one's really told them that they have other opportunities beyond that in alternative assets. And. I've met a lot of investors where, it's the need that's already inside of them. I said, Hey, look, you can invest in real estate and have all the advantages of real estate. And do it passively while you focus on your career still and not have to be so hands on, you don't have to be flipping houses. [00:05:43] Christine Hsu: And changing out toilets, you can do this on the side and still get really great returns. And I've had a lot of investors. Convert to being at an LP very, very quickly and just, a couple of meetings. These are people that I know personally who ask, what are you doing now? [00:05:59] Christine Hsu: And I tell them, I invest in real estate and I actually allow others to invest with me. And they're like, oh yeah, tell me more. So I feel like there's some parallels there because there's a need that is being met. Whether it's. Food housing, or just having additional investment opportunities to bring in passive income and even bring wealth generational wealth and a legacy to their families. [00:06:23] Sam Wilson: Yeah, absolutely. What are some challenges that you have faced in scaling a commercial real estate portfolio? [00:06:30] Christine Hsu: well I think I started in 2020 and the real estate world has seen a lot of. Very high ups and now we're kind of going on the downside. I, some of the challenges I face is just. The volatility of the market. [00:06:47] Christine Hsu: Just in the time that I started and I wouldn't say it's a challenge, you kind of just go with the flow. It's almost like you're in the Rocky rapids, like choppy rapids of the waters. You kind of just have to, clinging on and go with the waves. And so really, there's things that I feel like is a little bit. [00:07:06] Christine Hsu: Stable. Although real estate is still very stable asset, but just the ups and downs. It's been a little bit challenging for me. someone who started newer to kind of keep track of it, but it's also exciting too, because I get to see a lot happening. And really even. When the world is concerned, that's the best time is there's always opportunity in those kind of Rocky moments. [00:07:29] Christine Hsu: So I'm excited to be a part of it. And really it's all about making sure that you're taking measured risks with contingency. And building that into all of the underwriting. [00:07:39] Sam Wilson: When you say measured risk with contingency what is, what comes to mind when you say that. [00:07:43] Christine Hsu: so, the interest rates are going up substantially and very quickly. [00:07:48] Christine Hsu: So it's making sure that the numbers are writing in higher interest rates and having that sensitivity analyzer, really Making sure. If it goes like extremely high to like maybe 9%, 10%, what would that look like? And just being prepared for any scenario that happens. Like, I don't think that's going to happen really just based on historical data, but you know, if it does, you never know, it's like no one has that crystal ball. [00:08:14] Christine Hsu: But you have to be prepared for some, for something like that. [00:08:17] Sam Wilson: Absolutely. Absolutely. Tell me about when I say the words, how to scale, like, what advice would you give to somebody. Or what advice would you give to yourself two or three years ago that you would say, Hey, this is what I would do. [00:08:29] Sam Wilson: If I wanted to grow my commercial real estate portfolio as an active investor, what would you say? [00:08:35] Christine Hsu: Yeah. So for me, actually it's a little bit different. It's about mindset. Scaling is all about mindset. And for me, I have to sit down and be like, well, why do I want to scale? what is my goal at the end of the day? [00:08:47] Christine Hsu: So I really looked at those goals and kind of work back. And scaled, according to what that end goal is. So it could be anything like, okay, for myself and my family, I wanna cash flow $10,000 a month. Or I want to expand my portfolio to, a thousand units or 500 million dollars of real estate on assets, under management. [00:09:08] Christine Hsu: These are just goals. And I feel like once you have the final destination in sight, you can work backwards to really. Define what those milestones are. to get to that end goal. So for me, it's all scaling is all about mindset. I think it's easy to just, keep going, but really not know where you're going or I'm speaking for myself. [00:09:30] Christine Hsu: So I really had to be very clear on what that end goal [00:09:33] Sam Wilson: was. Got it. I love that when you set that end goal. So, so now you determined your, why was there anything inside of you that said that's not possible or I that's for somebody else? Not me. [00:09:46] Christine Hsu: Oh, of course. I mean, Limiting beliefs are just, it's natural. [00:09:50] Christine Hsu: We always have them. And I definitely did. But I feel like for me, it's like surrounding myself with people who are already there. Really helps me get there to say, I, yeah, it's daunting. I might just be starting out or new, newer in the business, but if they can do it and they're alongside kind of helping out and I'm asking them for advice, I could get there too. [00:10:14] Christine Hsu: And probably in a similar timeframe. Cause I've been surrounded by so many people, just really talented, smart people who have gotten to. Goals in just a few years and I'm like, wow, how do they do it? And so it's just not being shy and really reaching out to them being like, Hey, how can I bring you value? [00:10:33] Christine Hsu: And how can I just learn from you [00:10:35] Sam Wilson: too? Right. And that was my next question. How did you go and surround yourself with people? Just put a flag out. That's, I want myself with really cool, smart people that are. Picking button taking names in real estate. Obviously it's not [00:10:46] Christine Hsu: what you did. [00:10:47] Christine Hsu: What did you, yeah, no, I wish it was that easy, but these people don't have a lot of time to, you know, to talk to you if you just put out a flag. So for me as I mentioned earlier, I started off being a limited partner in their deals. Even if I didn't have a lot of one-on-one time to ask them like, small, silly questions, I just watched, I observed what they did, how they handled their business. [00:11:10] Christine Hsu: How they acquired real estate, how they work with their investors and learn from that. And of course, they have people on their team to, that are available, their investor relations team. You can ask them as many questions as you want. I feel like they're an open door because essentially they have to be so, just utilizing their resources that are available for their investors being one of their investors in learning from them was the easiest way that. [00:11:34] Christine Hsu: I was learning from them and [00:11:35] Sam Wilson: observing. Yeah. And it's funny you and I took a similar path on, on, to, to that. I CA I came into commercial real estate, like you did first as limited partner. Yeah. And I recommended that countless times of people, like, what would, what's the first thing you'd do was like, well, if you have the capital. [00:11:50] Sam Wilson: even if it's just 50 grand in one deal, mm-hmm, do that. Get a front row seat and see how someone else already in the industry is handling their business, how they put out their deal, decks, how they communicate, how they do webinars, how often they give, quarterly updates. If they do live calls, like what is their process and get a feel. [00:12:07] Sam Wilson: And you might find things in their process that are broken. You might be like, oh, I can do that better. If I become an active sponsor or that's a really cool thing, they did. Let me see if I can duplicate that. So that's I think that's really cool. After you were a limited partner, what did you do next? [00:12:20] Christine Hsu: Then it was a lot of networking. It was joining, meetup calls thanks to zoom. And even with the pandemic, everything went virtual. So everything is pretty much available. In LinkedIn, I was very active on LinkedIn. Really. If you're connected with one person you're connected with almost everyone in this industry. [00:12:38] Christine Hsu: So really just, reaching out to people that way through those channels, seeing if they have meetup groups online, that meet and then going from there once. In a meetup group and network there, then you meet so many others and it just keeps going. It's it's endless in terms of the possibilities of the people that you meet. [00:12:56] Christine Hsu: And then they become very close friends and part potential partners, too. And so that, that was kind of how I expanded my learnings and skilled really my network in real estate. [00:13:06] Sam Wilson: How'd you get your first deal done? [00:13:09] Christine Hsu: First real estate deal or first, [00:13:12] Sam Wilson: first commercial deal, first commercial real estate [00:13:14] Christine Hsu: deal. [00:13:15] Christine Hsu: Yes. So that was actually recent. We only just closed a month or so ago and it was through networking. I had met this This operator probably over a year ago, about a year and a half ago at a conference. And just kept in touch with her. And it was. So the lead sponsors, there's a couple groups, but one of the main lead sponsors is an all female group. [00:13:40] Christine Hsu: And so obviously we bonded being females in this industry and we just kept in touch. Like every quarter we would check in to see how we're doing, and if there's anything that we can help each other with almost became like pseudo accountability partners even. And then she she and her team had an opportunity that they were. [00:13:57] Christine Hsu: Under contract for, and also raising funds. And that I said, Hey, I'd be happy to help you out and raise some money with you and join your team and also help with other activities, anything that you need help with. So that's, that was the first deal that I joined as a co GP on. And, it's been great. And even from there, other team members and connecting with them kind of just expanded my network and my knowledge too. No, [00:14:22] Sam Wilson: that's really cool. I love that. And again, it goes back to those relationships. I think that you've been building, a year it's a good amount of time to know somebody, but it does take sometimes years, to where like, Hey, I actually. [00:14:33] Sam Wilson: We've known each other for a long time. Let's see if there's a chance for us to work together on something. So that's really fantastic. We're there. And I love the fact that this was just your first deal you got across the finish line. Cause this is very fresh for you. Yes, we'd get, we get all sorts of guests on this podcast or we get everybody from, you, Hey, I just closed my first commercial deal a month ago to, somebody else that might be like, Hey, I've got 3 billion in assets, under management. [00:14:56] Sam Wilson: I mean, they're all on here. So I love that we get to explore kind of both sides of this. journey. Tell me, was there, are there things that you would do differently on your next deal that you said, Hey, this is the lesson I learned. I'm gonna do it differently next time. [00:15:08] Sam Wilson: And then if so, why? [00:15:09] Christine Hsu: Yeah. I mean for us, we are just growing our networks, we're growing our investor list. And I think for the next deal, like we're growing and expanding our deals as well. So this first deal was a 5 0 6 B. We've done a couple others also in parallel. And now we're moving into the world of 5 0 6 CS where we can advertise. [00:15:32] Christine Hsu: So I. Think that, I would really do anything differently per se. I think it's just a journey and a progression. But definitely in terms of learning, it's there's some things that I could do better in terms of investor relations and even the process just to improve on, the entire process and the experience for investors going forward. [00:15:49] Christine Hsu: And I feel like with every deal you learn a little bit of something [00:15:52] new [00:15:52] Sam Wilson: Yeah. Absolutely. Is there a software, is there a platform, is there something that you are using when you're bringing investors on that you would recommend? [00:16:01] Christine Hsu: Yes. So, For most of my deals, they've been syndication pro it's been a very user friendly platform. [00:16:09] Christine Hsu: It's, aesthetically pleasing for both sides on the sponsor side and the, on the investor side, just to see everything clearly you can see your distributions whatever documents are housed, there is just very clean. And then we're also exploring with another group invest next. So just kind of comparing the different platforms. [00:16:29] Christine Hsu: I wouldn't say I have a lot of experience with invest next cause we're just starting out. But it's nice to kind of see, compare and contrast the different tools that are out there. [00:16:37] Sam Wilson: Absolutely. Absolutely. No, and that's great. I think it's one of the things that is, if you're listening to this and you don't. [00:16:43] Sam Wilson: And I'm not, we're not rec recommending one or another necessarily on this show, but if you don't have an investor platform, you gotta get one. I mean, it's something that, just, it really ups your game. They're not terribly expensive. Not com not relative compared to, the types of assets we're buying. [00:16:59] Sam Wilson: It's not an expensive investment. So that's certainly a cool thing. I'm glad really, to hear out of the gate you were launching launching with a good platform there. That's so cool. Last question for you. Is there anything else that you'd like to share with our listeners that you can think of? [00:17:12] Sam Wilson: You're like, Hey, here's something that has been meaningful to me in the last, I guess two years or so of your commercial real estate journey. [00:17:19] Christine Hsu: Yes, absolutely. For me, Just starting out in real estate. It looks, it seems like a very daunting thing, especially if, as you see everyone skilling at a hundred miles an hour and you're kind of a newbie like that was me. [00:17:31] Christine Hsu: Right. I'm just like, how did these people do it? And really what changed my mindset and perspective was the book called who not how so. It's very popular in our space. I think a lot of people recommend that book and I do as well. It's a whole mindset shift. It's not about how to do something because we're so limited in our knowledge I've I was very limited. [00:17:52] Christine Hsu: I didn't have the experience obviously, but leveraging people who do. So I feel like in syndications, the big keyword is leverage, right? Everyone's leveraging each other. It's a team sport everyone's working together. So for me, it was leveraging people who had more experience than me to get me where I wanted to be, as opposed to just figuring out how to do it. [00:18:14] Christine Hsu: It's just, finding the who's that can get me there. [00:18:17] Sam Wilson: I love it. Absolutely love it. Christine, thank you for taking the time to come on today. Certainly appreciate it. This was lots of fun. Learning about you, your journey thus far, getting your first deal done. Yeah. Kudos to you. Keep up to good work. [00:18:29] Sam Wilson: If our listeners wanna get in touch with you and learn more about you and what it is you're doing, what is the best way to do that? Yes. [00:18:34] Christine Hsu: You can check us out on our website at noblivest.com and also I'm pretty active on LinkedIn. You can find me on LinkedIn really looking forward to connecting with all of you. [00:18:45] Christine Hsu: Don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or just wanna network. I'm always open to that. [00:18:51] Sam Wilson: Awesome. And noble vest is N O B L I V E S T. If you're just listening to this, we will, of course include this all in the show notes as well. Christine, thank you so much. Do [00:19:01] Christine Hsu: appreciate. Awesome. Thank you so much, Sam.

Just focus on a solution [00:00:24] Sam Wilson: Glen Hansen is an entrepreneur. He started and funded 25 companies from plastics, manufacturing to aerospace, FinTech banking, medical, and real estate. [00:00:44] Sam Wilson: And today he's got multifamily real estate with 1.4 billion in transactions. Glen, welcome [00:00:50] Glenn Hanson: to the show. Hey, thanks for having me. Appreciate it. Sam pleasure is mine in [00:00:55] Sam Wilson: Every guest who comes in the show asks the same three questions, which are, where did you start? Where are you now? And how did you get there? [00:01:01] Glenn Hanson: Oh, wow. In terms of real estate or in terms of business. [00:01:05] Sam Wilson: Oh, and I left one part out in 90 seconds or less wherever [00:01:08] Glenn Hanson: you like. All right. So I started in a family business when I was, out, came outta high school and I latched onto that as a. Machine tool maker. And I grew that business with my brother from 73 and we sold it in 1999 and we grew it from nine employees to 400. [00:01:29] Glenn Hanson: Wow. So it was significant in size. As a result of that, I retired at 47, 2 years past my targeted retire. Goal and bought a bell jet ranger, helicopter flew around the country, got bored. And I called it my Winnebago in the sky. And, I got bored. So I started funding startup companies in 2001 and did that progressively for several years. [00:01:55] Glenn Hanson: And then. One of the companies I started was a roll up of pet cremator and that's where I was reintroduced with the concept of scaling a company and focusing on the segments of success that I found, which is that the company can't go to China, wildly profitable, scalable doesn't need skilled labor and is recession proof. [00:02:16] Glenn Hanson: Multi-family investing apartments. Real estate fit that formula. So that drove me into the real estate business on scale. We, my wife and I, we had bought two families for 20 years prior and never made any money at it, aggravated with investors. I mean, with intent with the tenants. So, we never saw that as a place to go in business. [00:02:40] Glenn Hanson: We, we learned about scale. We learned about the industry, my experience at, up till 2008, when we started gave me the skills I thought to dig in and grow the real estate company. So you [00:02:53] Sam Wilson: started investing in multifamily in 2008. [00:02:56] Glenn Hanson: Is that what I mean? Yes. [00:02:58] Sam Wilson: Yeah. and that of course was right when everything was just, going the markets were going south in, in, in a hurry. [00:03:03] Sam Wilson: I mean, what gave you the confidence then to say, Hey, look, I think this is an excellent place to be, and [00:03:07] Glenn Hanson: we need to be buying.. Yeah. So 2008 September when I launched the business, the Lehman brothers were still in business a few months later is when they fell apart and the world tumbled. and as a result I had, I was funding 25 startups. [00:03:23] Glenn Hanson: So I was feeding a lot of capital into multiple companies in different industries. So I recognize that I didn't have enough B. To maintain that. And so some of those would have to be jettisoned or find their way without me. And I had to find a source of significant capital to satisfy my lifestyle. [00:03:44] Glenn Hanson: And, the pet cremation business I mentioned earlier was ongoing and I had operators there. We sold that in 2016, but I was able to focus on the real estate business and what gave me the confidence was, the experience in the past, recognizing that recessions passed, I never anticipated that the downturn was going to be what it was. [00:04:06] Glenn Hanson: So it was three years from the date I started until we bought our first deal. And the first transaction was a 35 million dollar property. And, the irony there is we bought it out of, receivership from. General electric and they wouldn't even let me bid on it because I didn't have experience. [00:04:26] Glenn Hanson: So I said, I may not have experience, but I know how to run a balance sheet and the guy you took it from had experience and he failed. So, maybe you could gimme a shot. So they said, if I can, if I could show proof of funds, they would let me bid on it. So anyways, we did that and, we got a shot and we won the deal. [00:04:42] Glenn Hanson: Wow that got us started. Yeah, that's a heck, that's a big deal. Heck of a [00:04:46] Sam Wilson: first start. I mean, most people who are buying their first multi-family property, don't start with a 35,000,001, let alone one in receivership. obviously you got a significant experience in business, but how did you know, Hey, this is even a good deal. [00:04:59] Glenn Hanson: Yeah. So the first thing I did was I hire. A fellow he's still with me today and he is a partner now, but I hired a fellow that worked for a competitor in the area that had scaled a real estate empire to 25,000 units. And he was an acquisition person for them. And so he came on and he knew what to do. [00:05:16] Glenn Hanson: I hadn't, I did not know it was his doing that created our success for sure. [00:05:21] Sam Wilson: That's amazing. That's amazing. Yeah. You're bringing on talent from another another organization that has the industry experience to say, Hey, this is what we should be doing. [00:05:29] Glenn Hanson: Yeah. Yeah. And it's all about the team. [00:05:32] Glenn Hanson: Right. And even today what we do I guide the team, but I'm not the expert in any segment. They I've got people that have come from the industry and know what they're doing. [00:05:42] Sam Wilson: Right. That's amazing. Yeah. I think one of the words that you use, or two words that you used before we kick this off was something you said programmatic scale. [00:05:50] Sam Wilson: Can you give [00:05:50] Glenn Hanson: some more points to that? Sure. In my tool and dye business that I scaled to 400 people is statistically average size of the company. And that industry is 10, 10 people. Wow. And to give you an idea that what can happen and through the process and, The disciplines, when I say programmatic scale is that what you need to do is set the goals in place, get the team involved and then believe your own story that you're going to do it. [00:06:17] Glenn Hanson: And then you have to talk it up, share it with. Other people, tell people what you're going to do. And what happens is the dream becomes bigger than life or the people involved, including myself and you build momentum. But inside of that, building of scale, you need systems and procedures and that's the hard part. [00:06:36] Glenn Hanson: And we're struggling with that today. I mean, we're, we have, significant amount of properties under management and we use third party managers. We have to manage them tightly. it's for us, it's worked and we're in multiple states. So it, programmatic scale is what, that's all about. [00:06:55] Glenn Hanson: What I just described, keeping that into control. [00:07:00] Sam Wilson: Absolutely. Absolutely. Yeah. I've heard, somebody say that it, that problems never go away. They just change, [00:07:05] Glenn Hanson: actually. Yeah. It's all the same. Yeah. Right. Yeah. Right. [00:07:09] Sam Wilson: I think every entrepreneur wants to solve all the problems on their desk and then it's like, well, by the time you make it to, I guess you guys are at 1.4 billion in assets, under management, you're still going, oh wait, there's just [00:07:19] Glenn Hanson: different problems. [00:07:20] Glenn Hanson: Yeah. Yeah. Well, we don't have 1.4 billion under management. We've sold this. We've gone along. Okay. We have today we have about 500, probably 500 million. Okay. Under management, but, we've traded. And, like I mentioned, our average labor IRR is 37% on the portfolio, so that's and no losses. [00:07:40] Glenn Hanson: Yeah. [00:07:41] Sam Wilson: That's absolutely fantastic. I love that. You, you said earlier that, that you have. Really, it sounds like developed a formula for success. Can you talk to me [00:07:49] Glenn Hanson: about that? Yeah, I can. that started in 1991 when I read Steven Covey's book, seven habits of highly affected people. And I ran, I started running my company using those strategies. [00:08:04] Glenn Hanson: At that time, I had 27 direct reports and, I trained all of them, myself and the. Procedures and systems and provided the manuals and the books that we all carried every day. And we followed that discipline and that's the magic for me of being able to scale. [00:08:22] Sam Wilson: Got it. When you think about your, your, over the course of your business career, what are some things that maybe you didn't get right, or that you did wrong, that you could help other people avoid? [00:08:32] Sam Wilson: Repeating. [00:08:33] Glenn Hanson: Wow. I did a lot wrong. that's let me think of wrong [00:08:39] Sam Wilson: or a mistake you made, you said, man, I, I could have [00:08:42] Glenn Hanson: avoided that. Well, litigation. I've had litigation that I could have avoided. and I would say that when I started this business, my attorney told me he knows people in it. [00:08:51] Glenn Hanson: And the first thing they do is set aside a budget for litigation. and it's too easy to get caught in the ego of litigation. And I would. Today. My, my view is run from any litigation. Okay. It's just not, it's not worth the time, money or emotional stress. So that, that's probably the most current, I mean, What else? [00:09:12] Glenn Hanson: What else can I share? Well, yeah, I, [00:09:15] Sam Wilson: if you can give some color to that, I mean, cuz there are people, obviously they're scaling their portfolios and when you say, Hey, set aside a budget for litigation is there and I'm not asking for particulars necessarily, but is there a scenario or something that you think of when you say that you say, Hey, here's a way either to avoid it. [00:09:31] Sam Wilson: Something you could have set up differently. Was there was it just, some of the crazy stuff where we here, where somebody got shot on your property and then they, [00:09:38] Glenn Hanson: it ranges from property issues and more, more directly to the financial community. For instance, we had a closing that a property, didn't receive the. [00:09:50] Glenn Hanson: At close to pay the taxes from the seller. So lean was put on the property by the state and we had to go back and get the seller to. Give us the money. They wouldn't do it. So obviously that leads to litigation. Right. Got it. So how do you solve that without litigation? The first thing you might wanna do is be prepared to just write a check and be done with it and move on. [00:10:12] Glenn Hanson: But this was too big. We couldn't, we didn't have that kind of cash. Right. So we approached it from the standpoint of litigation, but . We don't do it with a vengeance or with anger. We just do it as a tool to get to a solution. same thing with issues on the property. Just focus on a solution. [00:10:28] Sam Wilson: yeah, that's great. That's great advice. Yeah. And those are things that, I mean, some of those you just can't avoid. It's like you [00:10:34] Glenn Hanson: can't yeah. [00:10:35] Sam Wilson: They show up. Yeah. And that's that's really interesting when you said, Hey, just start setting aside a budget for it. [00:10:40] Sam Wilson: Cuz it's, at some point when you get enough assets under management enough people, enough property it's probably just bound to happen is what it sounds [00:10:47] Glenn Hanson: like. Yeah. By the way, I didn't say set the budget aside. It was my attorney when I started the. Told me, that would be a good idea. And I'm, thinking my brother and I ran, we ran 38,000 contracts over 30 years, 35 years. [00:10:59] Glenn Hanson: And we have one Indi indication, one incident of litigation. And that was it. So I said, we're not gonna have any litigation. Well, the real estate industry seems to attract it for sure. Yeah. So, yeah, beware. [00:11:14] Sam Wilson: Absolutely. Absolutely. And there are things that are beyond your control. I mean, there are people I gave earlier, I've known some people who've had. [00:11:21] Sam Wilson: Violence that happen at one of their properties and suddenly yeah. They're being drag into court and it's like, wait, I didn't, I had nothing to do with this. And yet, here I am, how did this, how did I get here? This is great. Right. So, yeah, that's wild. You talk about talk to me about funds. You guys have multiple funds that you're running now. [00:11:38] Sam Wilson: And I think earlier we talked about what you called seven years of struggle. [00:11:42] Glenn Hanson: Maybe yeah, sure. we started out seven years ago to raise 150 million in an LP fund. And I hired a series seven employee that was, came from a large institution, had raised billions of dollars and, she was unsuccessful and, it was largely due to the fact that we were a first time. [00:12:05] Glenn Hanson: We couldn't get any traction and especially at 150 million dollars. So along the way, we tried different approaches and we failed. And then along the way we, we converted it to a GP fund and we lowered the amount that we wanted to raise to 10 million. we were able to get traction on the 10 million from our own family and friends to get started and break escrow so that we could go ahead and continue the raise. [00:12:31] Glenn Hanson: And we raised 20 million for our first fund and that 20 million, we bought 380 million worth of real estate. So there we were able to, as a GP, take a GP piece, right. That's what the fund was. We were able to leverage that money to a significant. Amount of, real estate. So fund two, which we're in the process of raising now is a $30 million fund, same model. [00:12:57] Glenn Hanson: And we're at, we'd launched in January and we're at $15 million raised so far. So, what I learned from that is start small and, make sure when you start, you can hit your target, even if it's 5 million. And then that gets, the confidence credibility out there. I also learned that they're very expensive to manage. [00:13:16] Glenn Hanson: There's a lot of regulation around the administration and accounting. So, that's perhaps why people don't wanna get involved with somebody doing the first time fund is you don't realize when you start how much work it is outside of running the real estate empire. It's almost its own. to keep the fun. [00:13:36] Glenn Hanson: Going [00:13:37] Sam Wilson: right. Tell me the transition. I just want some clarity around, you said you started it initially as an LP fund and then said, right. That's not working. Let's move it to a GP fund. Yes. Can you clarify [00:13:49] Glenn Hanson: that for me? Yeah. So LP would be a different part of the stack capital stack than the GP. So, the GP fund funds only the GPS, which has the higher risk and higher return. [00:14:02] Glenn Hanson: So our fund documents say that we're targeting a 20, 25% internal rate of return and an 8% cash on cash. So you can do that when you're in the GP stack. So when you [00:14:16] Sam Wilson: guys come in, you're coming in, cuz obviously, if you set aside, let's keep this easy numbers here and I'm sorry if I'm getting into the weeds on this, but let's say it's a million dollar raise. [00:14:24] Sam Wilson: And just again, make making this easy numbers. That is the limited partners equity, but then the general partners may be throwing in a half, a million dollars themselves. So that maybe they told. And so you guys are coming in and so the total raise, let's say it's 1.5. You guys are coming in as the $500,000 GP [00:14:40] Glenn Hanson: side. [00:14:40] Glenn Hanson: Yeah, we have to part. The fund is considered, liquidity. We can use, it's considered capital that we control, but they still, to this day, they still want, me and my partners to put money in the game. Absolutely. So. [00:14:57] Sam Wilson: with that fund, are you guys going out and acquiring your own assets or is it something where you're working with other general partners to go and find deals? [00:15:06] Glenn Hanson: No, that we own all the assets. Got it. Got it. [00:15:09] Sam Wilson: Okay. Okay. Yeah. Very cool. I like that. And then also, so, so I guess on that front then, how are you guys funding the limited partnership side? Is that something where you're just going out and just raising. One on investors, one, one at a time. [00:15:21] Glenn Hanson: Yeah. So prior to this interview you sent me a list of asking me what's the hardest thing I've ever done. [00:15:26] Glenn Hanson: Yeah. And it's raising tens and hundreds of millions of dollars worth of capital for what we're doing today. That is the hardest thing I've ever done. And we're, we're out there. We're hard on a deposit. We don't have all the money yet, and we've got to perform and out of 37 transactions, there's only one time we couldn't close. [00:15:46] Glenn Hanson: And, so we've, we've been successful, but it is not easy. Sam, it's hard. It is [00:15:53] Sam Wilson: absolutely hard. Yeah. I think people underestimate that. How difficult raising capital can be. I always just say it's like herding cats. It's getting everything done and across the finish line, everybody signed everybody's money and everybody wired. [00:16:05] Sam Wilson: It's like, man, this is, this is a lot like work. [00:16:07] Glenn Hanson: It is, it is real work it's, but yet after you get going, it's, it's, the easiest thing I've ever done once you're once it's operating. Right. I mean, try running a machine shop with 400 people and 1800 custom parts. That's pretty tough. this becomes easy, I guess, at [00:16:24] Sam Wilson: that point that's absolutely incredible. [00:16:26] Sam Wilson: Tell me about that one deal. I'm really curious. What did you learn from the deal? You couldn't get done? [00:16:31] Glenn Hanson: Yeah. So we were working with aggressive money, which we seemed to find occasionally not always they're disingenuous in terms of their, their approach to, you've probably heard loan to own. [00:16:42] Glenn Hanson: Yeah. So we've run into some of those kind of. Targets. And, we were short 1.8 million on a 36 million deal. And, the CapEx budget was 12 million. So it didn't matter that we were short 1.8, we could have continued raising the capital after. Sure. But they wouldn't let us, they, they said, if you don't have all the money, we're not closing. [00:17:05] Glenn Hanson: So, we couldn't close [00:17:07] Sam Wilson: can you clarify that? Who, who wouldn't let you close? I mean, [00:17:10] Glenn Hanson: certainly, yeah, the, the partner, the partner that was putting up the cash. Right? What happens is the game is once you sign with these guys, they're exclusive. So you can't go out and get competitive money while they're controlling your calendar. [00:17:25] Glenn Hanson: Right. Got it. So you get to the end, then if they decide they don't wanna fund, what are you going to do? You haven't talk, you haven't been able to talk to anybody else, so you either better have. 12 million bucks to. Take their place. If that's the number or yet you're forced to give up the deal. Wow. So, well, that's a [00:17:44] Sam Wilson: risk. [00:17:45] Sam Wilson: I think we should all listen and learn and [00:17:47] Glenn Hanson: avoid well that's the thing that, I wanted to share with everybody is be careful who you pick as your partner. When it comes to finance, I mean, you have to be sure they're genuine. Number one, number two are they are there Satan clauses inside their contracts that are gonna trip their are their trip levers where they're deliberately targeting, an opportunity for themselves. [00:18:09] Glenn Hanson: And you wanna watch for that. And as we scaled the business, we got exposed to a lot of people. And, many most are fine, but there's always somebody that's trying to take advantage of the new, the newbie coming into the game. [00:18:23] Sam Wilson: Yeah. That's, a painful lesson learned. I think, like, like I said, a painful lesson learned the hard way. [00:18:28] Sam Wilson: I mean that nobody wants to be in that position. How would you identify. That money partner like that. Now, how would you pick 'em out of a crowd? [00:18:37] Glenn Hanson: Yeah, you can see it in their term sheet. When they send the term sheet over, you can see the language will jump out at you. If it makes you cringe in your stomach. [00:18:45] Glenn Hanson: Feel upset then you found it , it shouldn't be that it shouldn't be hard. Right, right. It should be. It should be. They want to do a deal with you. They wanna make it work. Obviously, if you break certain rules or you can't pay your bills, they've gotta take over the property. We get that. Right. [00:19:02] Glenn Hanson: Right. [00:19:03] Sam Wilson: It'll be right there in the term sheet. I like [00:19:05] Glenn Hanson: that. Yeah. Yes. You can see it. You can see it right out of the blocks and then just guard yourself against it and don't accept exclusivity at that point, for sure. Absolutely what we've been able to do is write in a, breakup fee. [00:19:18] Glenn Hanson: And if we don't like it the way it feels as we get into it, we pay the fee and find another partner. [00:19:24] Sam Wilson: Interesting. A breakup fee. That's yeah, that, that's very cool. I love that. Thanks taking the time to share that with us. One last question here for you. The markets are crazy. Multifamily has experienced incredible cap rate compression. [00:19:37] Sam Wilson: We've seen prices going wild. Where do you see risk in the multifamily market right now, if you see any and then how are you protecting your guides yourselves against that? [00:19:47] Glenn Hanson: Yeah. I was a, during my stint of retirement, I traded my own book of business in commodities. So I traded the indices and everything else you can imagine. [00:19:57] Glenn Hanson: And I learned that nobody knows where it's going to go. Sure. So I think the biggest risk is by not continuing with your business plan. So we're still buyers. We've just found a better way to finance and it's, we couldn't do. The way we did three months ago, we had to change the way we looked at the capital stack. [00:20:13] Glenn Hanson: But the risk is that people are pulling in their horns, thinking the world is going to end. And, the reality is that people still need a place to live. The Democrats or Republicans support housing, and the interest rates will come down. And as long as we're buying cash, Which we are. So what, we just have to wait. [00:20:31] Sam Wilson: I like that. I like that. And that's that's what I keep hearing over and over right now is that as long as we're buying cash flow, who really cares. So that's absolutely fantastic. Glen, thank you for taking the time to come on the show today. Certainly learned a lot. It's been a, a very interesting interview just from your history in the, in the tool and dive business and growing that to, as you called it, programmatically scaling your real estate holdings. [00:20:55] Sam Wilson: You've done some really cool things and, and I think learned some hard lessons that you were, willing to share with us today. So thanks for helping us avoid those mistakes ourselves. Certainly appreciate it. If our listeners wanna get in touch with you and learn more about you, what is the best way [00:21:06] Glenn Hanson: to do that? [00:21:08] Glenn Hanson: Yeah. Reach out to colony Hills capital.com [00:21:11] Sam Wilson: colony Hills capital.com. We'll make sure we put that there in the show notes, Glen, thank you again for coming on. Certainly appreciate it. [00:21:18] Glenn Hanson: Yeah. Thanks for having me. I appreciate that too. Take care, Sam.

More Than a Song - Discovering the Truth of Scripture Hidden in Today's Popular Christian Music
For the first time in over 430 weekly episodes of More Than a Song, I will be taking a brief break from the podcast. I'll be diving back in with fresh episodes on August 15th using 90's Christian throwback song "Dive" by Steven Curtis Chapman. (See what I did there?) I'll also be over at Mixtape Theology (a fellow New Release Today Podcast Network member) for a partner episode on that same day. In the meantime, subscribe to my email list and follow me on social media platforms (specifically Instagram @michellenezat), as my daughter Emily will be highlighting a weekly featured episode from the archives you may have missed. We will also be producing a series of reels on my Bible Interaction Tool Exercises (BITEs) -- the exercises I use to keep my time in God's Word varied and effective. This way, you can keep reading God's Word for yourself and catch up on forgotten or missed episodes from the archives. Why take a break? In the past, if I've needed to take some time off, I've always played Encore Episodes, so why the break? In a nutshell? Obedience and a big assignment. Listen to this episode to hear a brief description of both. Why have I never done this before? My shiny reasons? I'm dedicated to creating fresh content each week, and God keeps meeting me in it! My not-so-shiny reasons? Fear and pride. Listen to this episode to hear my full confession. (I'm not the only one who struggles with this, right?) Until next time, take time to meditate on God's Word and consider His ways. Resource Mentioned in This Episode I mentioned Compel Training - a Proverbs31 membership site for writers. I am a volunteer leader in their Podcasting Community Group and have learned SO much from this community. Check it out if you are a writer or speaker (or want to become one).

In this episode, we will discuss termination of employees. Employees my be hired with the best intentions for the work relationship to work out. However, sometimes the relationship breaks down, and the employer and employee need to part ways.

( plastic free foundation website) That is mind blowing. Just think if you can contribute to this number to what a big impact that has on our planet 8.5 out of 10 people made changes that became lasting habits.( plastic free foundation website) And that's really what needs to happen here. 2. So why plastic free July? Well, virtually every piece of plastic ever manufactured still exists in some form today. Single use plastics are not being recycled effectively. And we're seeing the damaging effects on our environment, especially in our oceans and our wildlife. This will have catastrophic ramifications. ( Plastic Free Foundation 3. I love that the campaign really aims to empower us. And that reassures us that you don't need to strive for zero waste right off the get go. Because overwhelming us will just create a lot of stress. And if it's too difficult to sustain, it will make us feel like failures and cause us to give up. This is the last thing they want. Remember what I always say if you're feeling overwhelmed, start small. @MoyaaShea #StartSmall
Is it possible to obtain flawless skin? How do we age gracefully and take care of our skin to be optimal during the process? There are countless blogs and information about these topics and it can sometimes feel overwhelming. What if the solution was much simpler than it seems? Today we are joined by Abby Mason who is an Integrative Nutrition Health Coach, Advanced Skin Sequencing Practitioner, Certified Boutique Skincare Designer, and Author. She shares with us the ten pillars of skin health and timeless aging so we can self-heal from the inside out and outside in. We dig deep into nutrition and hydration and the importance of “fueling your body with the fuel that your skin loves”. She also shares with us why we need to understand the root cause of poor health (and skin) and simple self-healing tips like drinking half of your body weight in water because “timeless skin loves water.” We also discuss the best sleep routines for our skin and why we should understand our bio-individual absorption, being aware of our deficiencies so we can lovingly give our bodies what it needs. We ended the conversation talking about the importance of self-care, reducing stress, and allowing time each week to reset and find a flow state. These are simple tips that will enhance your journey not only towards flawless skin but also to truly self-heal.

As we enter into a brand new year, you may be like me and ready to recommit to living a more sustainable life. For me personally, I know several of the small steps I need to take, and it helps to take a moment to review the simple things we can do every day and just decide to recommit. In today's episode, I share with you a few things that I am going to work on in 2021, give you some valuable tips on small things we may easily overlook (that make a big difference!), and even share with you vulnerability about a few mistakes I've recently made and how I plan to correct them in the future. We dig into gardening ideas, how to have less food waste, the importance of pausing before you buy, and even how to make your home feel more peaceful by living and purchasing more intentionally. I hope this encourages you that I am not perfect and I do not expect you to be, but together we can make SMALL steps and make meaningful change in 2021.

This week's challenge may seem more difficult than it is. Zero waste is definitely a lifestyle but there are many SIMPLE things we can do that take no extra time that will have a big impact on our world. Many of us want to make a difference, but we get overwhelmed. Thinking about having “zero waste” may seem impossible, but as Anne Marie Bonneau once said, “We don't need a handful of people doing zero waste perfectly. We need millions of people doing it imperfectly.” What is zero waste? Is it even possible? The answer is YES! Today I share with you small steps you can take like looking at your personal care routines, saying ‘no' to small things like receiving fliers, and even simple ways to shop that make an impact. Our hope is to encourage you to not change everything overnight, or feel so overwhelmed you never begin, but instead to see the power you have and the impact in your small steps.
