"Cities across the globe have experienced urban blight, where districts that have seen a significant downturn in fortunes are abandoned, residential and business properties left vacant. Responding to this change in fortunes is becoming an industry in itself."What Causes Urban Blight -And What Can Be Done About it" ~ February 2023 blog.bluebeam.comMy Guest This Week Has Success in helping Real Estate Properties & Communities RevitalizeBlighted is a powerful narrative about the decades-long decay and remarkable two-year reinvention of Summerdale, an aging apartment community located in one of Atlanta's grittiest corridors. From burnt-out, mold-infested buildings to traumatized classrooms, Blighted unfolds in the voices of ruthless drug dealers, phantom tenants, fearless landlords, the working poor, educators, and visionary local leaders.After purchasing the property from an absentee overseas owner, Marjy Stagmeier and her partners methodically tackled the crisis festering inside the gated 244-unit apartment property. Two years of relentless work later, Stagmeier reveals how the team that she led built community from chaos. Through on-the-ground, in-the-moment interviews with a wide range of stakeholders, Stagmeier demonstrates how marginalized housing perpetuates intergenerational poverty and the collapse of nearby public schools while showing the multifaceted challenges of improving dire living conditions.Blighted offers a unique insider perspective of the political, human, and economic challenges of delivering equitable housing in a market fueled by inflationary prices, insatiable demand, and competing and often dubious agendas. Summerdale's success is a bright model of how affordable housing, education, healthcare, and social capital can interconnect to build vibrant, sustainable communities―affordable housing communities, nearby schools, and the community at large. From there, kids, families, working people, and neighborhoods can thrive.© 2025 Building Abundant Success!!2025 All Rights ReservedJoin Me on ~ iHeart Radio @ https://tinyurl.com/iHeartBASSpot Me on Spotify: https://tinyurl.com/yxuy23baAmazon Music ~ https://tinyurl.com/AmzBASAudacy: https://tinyurl.com/BASAud

Across the country, farmland and open land are being bulldozed for soulless private-equity apartment blocks and “affordable housing” boondoggles cooked up between politicians and developers.From Florida to New Jersey, the government isn't just rubber-stamping ugly growth — it's trying to seize private property to hand over to builders. But sometimes, people push back. A family farm in Cranbury, New Jersey just beat an eminent-domain takeover — a rare win for ordinary Americans who actually own and work their land.This isn't anti-growth. It's pro-sanity. Build where it makes sense. Revitalize cities. But don't bulldoze heritage, agriculture, and generational property just to slap up another copy-paste complex. Paradise is precious.

Hurray's Girl Beer isn't just another craft brand. It's a calculated rebellion against an industry stuck in the past. In this episode, Hurray's founder Ray Biebuyck joins Taste Radio editor Ray Latif and Brewbound managing editor Jess Infante to share her vision for a beer brand that doesn't just challenge convention, it openly mocks it. Witty, unapologetic, and intentionally unorthodox, Hurray's markets flavored light beers, including Pineapple Yuzu and Blueberry Lavender varieties, crafted not to honor tradition, but to disrupt it. The brand's satirical, female-forward positioning flips the script in a category that has long overlooked nearly a third of its audience: women. Ray discusses how Hurray's draws more from stand-up comedy than legacy brewing playbooks, using humor and irreverence as tools for connection, and conversion. She also reveals how this disruptive approach is translating into real-world traction, with Hurray's on track to reach over 3,000 retail locations, including Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, BevMo, Total Wine, Sprouts, and Walmart, by Q1 2026. Show notes: 0:25: Interview: Ray Biebuyck, Founder & CEO, Hurray's Girl Beer – Ray traces her roots back to New England and her early career in the corporate world, with stints at J.P. Morgan and WeWork after graduating from college in New York City. She discussed how, at the onset of the pandemic, she stepped in to support operations for a local beverage alcohol brand and recognized a gap in the market: a disconnect between male-dominated beer branding and female consumers. Ray eventually launched Hurray's Girl Beer in 2024 and shares the uphill journey of pitching a new beer brand in a male-dominated, slowing market, and how she carved out a niche by courting an underserved audience. She recalls self-distributing cases out of a Toyota Camry to landing shelf space in 200 retail doors across Los Angeles and Orange County and how Girl Beer secured distribution at Whole Foods, BevMo, and Total Wine. Ray also details the pivotal relationship with an Anheuser-Busch-aligned distributor, which accelerated growth and expanded reach and why she believes the brand is on track for a breakout year in 2026. Brands in this episode: Hurray's Girl Beer, Shacksbury Cider, Woodchuck Cider, Magic Hat, Ben & Jerry's, Seventh Generation, Green Mountain Coffee, Poppi, Olipop, Liquid Death, Garage Beer, Surfside, Budweiser, Bud Light, Golden Road, Elysian, Busch, Heineken, White Claw, Truly, Bud Light Seltzer, Michelob Ultra, Friday Beers

The Color of Money | Transformative Conversations for Wealth Building
From immigrant roots to transformative real estate projects, Rocio Hermosillo and Kuuku Saah are revitalizing the River Bend neighborhood in Des Moines, Iowa. Rocio—leader of Team Ella and one of NAHREP's top 100 Latino real estate professionals—built her career by prioritizing “work to learn” over “work to earn,” gaining mentorship, and using real estate as a tool for community impact. Kuuku, an immigrant from Ghana with a background in investment management, shifted from building wealth for corporations to creating lasting change in diverse urban neighborhoods.Together, they're restoring the historic North Des Moines Town Hall into affordable housing and a coffee shop, while adding a 24-unit apartment building with a food hall to help local food entrepreneurs thrive. In this episode, they share how aligning on values, engaging community voices, and navigating complex funding can turn vision into reality—and why reframing failure, staying disciplined, and acting on your mission are essential for making a lasting difference.Resources:Learn more at The Color of MoneyFollow Rocio Hermosillo on ZillowBecome a real estate agent HEREConnect with Our HostsEmerick Peace:Instagram: @theemerickpeaceFacebook: facebook.com/emerickpeaceDaniel Dixon:Instagram: @dixonsolditFacebook: facebook.com/realdanieldixonLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/dixonsolditYouTube: @dixongroupcompaniesJulia Lashay:Instagram: @iamjulialashayFacebook: facebook.com/growwithjuliaLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/julialashay/YouTube: @JuliaLashayBo MenkitiInstagram: @bomenkitiFacebook: facebook.com/obiora.menkitiLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/bomenkiti/Produced by NOVAThis podcast is for general informational purposes only.

What if that breakout isn't just hormonal—and that redness isn't rosacea? In this episode of ASCP Esty Talk, we discuss how big emotions like grief and anger can sneak onto the skin and masquerade as everyday conditions.

Plus, we're giving you home-care ideas that go way beyond “use this serum.” This one's for the esties ready to treat more than what meets the eye.

Edwards discusses the Metro Center Mall's proposed $875 million mixed-use redevelopment by Emerchant Capital, covering 70 acres with private and public funding. Skeptical, he recalls failed past plans like an amusement park, high-rise condos, a Randy Travis truck stop, and a movie studio, labeling them pipe dreams. He argues the location in West Jackson dooms retail or residential efforts, suggesting alternatives like a prison, Amazon hub, casino, or charter school to spur economic activity. Listeners propose ideas via texts, including a youth outreach center, solar farm, event hall, or flea market, but Edwards favors job-creating ventures over non-profits.
Skin care has been the reigning queen of beauty for years—but that crown may be slipping. Is this just a phase or a sign that consumer behavior is evolving? In this episode of ASCP Esty Talk, Maggie and Ella unpack the so-called “skin care recession,” a major industry shift showing a slowdown in skin care sales and a rise in fragrance and makeup. Tune in as we explore what's driving the trend, how it's showing up in the treatment room, and what estheticians need to know to stay ahead.
