CLOSING DAYS OF THE WORLD SERIES OF POKER FOR $10 MILLION FIRST PRIZE IN LAS VEGAS: 1/4: Seven Games: A Human History, by Oliver Roeder. https://www.amazon.com/Seven-Games-History-Oliver-Roeder/dp/1324003774 Checkers, backgammon, chess, and go. Poker, Scrabble, and bridge. These seven games, ancient and modern, fascinate millions of people worldwide. In Seven Games, Oliver Roeder charts their origins and historical importance, the delightful arcana of their rules, and the ways their design makes them pleasing. Roeder introduces thrilling competitors, such as the evangelical minister Marion Tinsley, who across forty years lost only three games of checkers; Shusai, the Master, the last gochampion of imperial Japan, defending tradition against “modern rationalism.” and an IBM engineer who created a backgammon program so capable at self-learning that NASA used it on the space shuttle. He delves into the history and lore of each game: backgammon boards in ancient Egypt, the Indian origins of chess, how certain shells from a particular beach in Japan make the finest white gostones. Beyond the cultural and personal stories, Roeder explores why games, seemingly trivial pastimes, speak so deeply to the human soul. He introduces an early philosopher of games, the aptly named Bernard Suits, and visits an Oxford cosmologist who has perfected a computer that can effectively play bridge, a game as complicated as human language, itself. 1904 KIEL RANCH

Most investors begin their careers with one asset class in mind but quickly find their niches as they progress. Today's guest is one such investor. On this episode of Zen and the Art of Real Estate Investing, Jonathan interviews Mike Roeder, co-founder and managing partner at Granite Towers Equity Group. Mike oversees operations, acquisitions, investor relations, and asset management. Additionally, he is the co-host of the podcast Keeping It Real-Estate and co-author of “4 Steps to Successful Passive Investing.” Jonathan and Mike begin their conversation by exploring the house hack Mike and his now-wife did in their early 20s that introduced him to real estate investing, how he landed in syndications through multifamily assets and scaling his portfolio, and why he decided to begin diversifying outside Minnesota. Mike shares how he slowly scaled, what his ideal value-add apartment complex and neighborhood look like, and how he caters to residents and offers access to amenities. Finally, Jonathan and Mike delve into what appealed to Mike about Nashville and Dallas-Fort Worth, the four steps to successful passive investing, and why passive investing still requires work. Creating long-term wealth takes time, but adding multifamily value-add syndications into your portfolio can help you get there a little bit faster. In this episode, you will hear: Mike Roeder's first investment property as a house hack in his early 20s that caused him to fall in love with real estate His path into syndications through multifamily assets and scaling the portfolio Diversifying outside of Minnesota into other markets in syndications Why Mike chose to scale slowly and now targets properties with 150+ units Getting over the humps to offer a deliverable that will be attractive to investors Mike's advice for finding the right mentor in your niche and who he chooses to help His ideal value-add apartment complex and neighborhood classification preferences Renovating apartments at lease turnover and the option he offers current residents Catering to your residents and offering access to amenities The factors that appealed to Mike about Nashville and Dallas-Fort Worth The four steps to successful passive investing Due diligence that must be performed on older properties Why passive investing still requires upfront work on your part Mike's advice for brand-new investors Follow and Review: We'd love for you to follow us if you haven't yet.

The system of educational apartheid that existed in the United States until the Brown v. Board of Education decision and its aftermath has affected every aspect of life for Black Americans.
