Podcast appearances and mentions of Ross Hamilton

From the "First Voices Radio" archive. Host Tiokasin Ghosthorse catches up with Ross Hamilton in the first half-hour. Ross is the author of several books on Native American prehistory including: "The Mystery of the Serpent Mound," "A Tradition of Giants," and "Star Mounds: Legacy of a Native American Mystery." His research specialty is the lost and forgotten history of North America and her ancient legends that seem to revolve around a profoundly mysterious country that once dominated the landscape known from oral tradition as Turtle Island. In the second half-hour, Dr. Paulette Steeves, Ph.D. (Cree-Métis) is an Indigenous archaeologist with a focus on the Pleistocene history of the Western Hemisphere. In her research, Dr. Steeves argues that Indigenous peoples were present in the Western Hemisphere as early as 100,000 years ago, and possibly much earlier. She has created a database of hundreds of archaeology sites in both North and South America that date from 250,000 to 12,000 years before present, which challenges the Clovis First dogma of a post 12,000 year before present initial migrations to the Americas. During her doctoral studies, she worked with the Denver Museum of Nature and Science to carry out studies in the Great Plains on mammoth sites which contained evidence of human technology on the mammoth bone, thus showing that humans were present in Nebraska over 18,000 years ago. Dr. Steeves has taught Anthropology courses with a focus on Native American and First Nations histories and studies, and decolonization of academia and knowledge production at Binghamton University, Selkirk College Fort Peck Community College, the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, and Mount Allison University. She is an associate professor in Sociology and Anthropology at Algoma University in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, and a Canada Research Chair in Healing and Reconciliation. She is the author of "The Indigenous Paleolithic of the Americas," published in July 2021 by The University of Nebraska Press. Dr. Steeves has said that rewriting and un-erasing Indigenous histories becomes a part of healing and reconciliation, transforming public consciousness, and confronting and challenging racism.  Production Credits:  Tiokasin Ghosthorse (Lakota), Host and Executive Producer Liz Hill (Red Lake Ojibwe), Producer Orlando DuPont, Radio Kingston Studio Engineer Tiokasin Ghosthorse, Audio Editor  Music Selections:  1.

As an adoptee, Pam Korreng always wondered about her biological parents. In 2021, hoping for some answers, she used Ancestry DNA. What Pam discovered was that her dad, Dave Clark, was an immensely talented singer, musician, actor, comedian, karate expert, stripper and cosmic seeker, who, after pioneering Australian rock 'n' roll in the 1950s with Barry Crocker, became glam-rock shocker Count Copernicus in the 1970s. But her father's story runs deeper than that, beginning in the horrors of war during The Blitz and ending in the bliss of a peaceful NYC spiritual community in the 21st century.Patreon: patreon.com/forgottenaustraliaApple: apple.co/forgottenaustraliaThe Cosmic Clownhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Xc3vgPD4jk&t=3sCheck out Ross Hamilton's band Stringybarkhttps://stringybark.com/To buy They'll Never Hold Me:https://www.booktopia.com.au/they-ll-never-hold-me-michael-adams/book/9781923046474.htmlThe Murder Squad:https://www.booktopia.com.au/the-murder-squad-michael-adams/book/9781923046504.htmlHanging Ned Kelly:https://www.booktopia.com.au/hanging-ned-kelly-michael-adams/book/9781922992185.htmlAustralia's Sweetheart:https://www.booktopia.com.au/australia-s-sweetheart-michael-adams/book/9780733640292.htmlEmail: forgottenaustraliapodcast@gmail.com Hosted on Acast.

By Davy Crockett Sue Ellen Trapp was one of the elite women pioneer ultrarunners who burst into the sport in the 1970s. She was the fourth person to be inducted into The American Ultrarunning Hall of Fame. She quickly achieved world and American records and showed how fast and how far women could run. With a busy life including her dental practice and family, she rose to the top of the sport twice, after an eight-year ultrarunning retirement, setting world and American records in her 40s and 50s. Learn about the rich and long history of ultrarunning. There are now eleven books available in the Ultrarunning History series on Amazon, compiling podcast content and much more. Learn More. If you would like to order multiple books with a 30% discount, send me a message here. Sue Ellen (Hamilton) Trapp (1946-), of Fort Myers, Florida was born and raised in Chicago, Illinois. Her parents were Robert Roy Hamilton (1908-1971), a tool and die maker, and Marie Blanche (Festner) Hamilton (1910-1999). She had a brother, Ross Hamilton (1942-2014) of Chicago. Her ancestors were from Pennsylvania, Germany, Austria, and Denmark. Sue Ellen and Kristina In the late 1960s, Sue Ellen went to dental school and married Ronald Edward Trapp (1943-), of Minnesota, who was also a dentist and entered the navy in 1969. He had been a cross-country runner in college. In 1971, Ron was stationed in San Francisco, California, as Sue Ellen was finishing dental school at the University of Illinois Dental School in Chicago. She gave birth to her daughter Kristina Trapp (1971-)  in April while in California, and then graduated from dental school in June. Ron and Sue Ellen training in 1975 Trapp said that she thought the baby weight would melt off, but it never did, so she took up competitive tennis and swimming, with some running to help her get into shape. Her first road race came in 1971, San Francisco's 12 km Bay to Breakers. She said, “I thought I'd just try it, and it was awful.” Later that year, the family moved to Lehigh Acres, Florida, a suburb of Fort Myers. She and Ron set up a dental practice together and Ron took up running and tennis, too. Results of her tennis tournaments would appear in the paper and starting in 1975, she was doing well in running races, too. In 1975, Sue Ellen ran her first marathon at Gainesville, Florida, with 4:04, but gained speed quickly. She placed second in the 1976 AAU Marathon Championships in Crowley, Louisiana, with 3:10:32. The two of them won husband/wife division of that championship. That marathon finish qualified her to run the Boston Marathon by 20 minutes. Trapp won the 1975 and 1976 Melbourne Marathon, in a course record with 3:40:18 and 3:09:46. In 1976, the Trapps started the Rotary 5-miler for Lehigh Acres runners before there was even the Fort Myers Track Club. That race became a 5K and lasted for more than 40 years. Trapp was one of the very early women to run the Boston Marathon. She finished in 1977 with 3:52:33. She would run that prestigious marathon for several years and brought her time down to 3:00:42 in 1979. First Ultra Florida Space Coast 50 km After stacking up many wins during 1978 of distances from 5 miles to the half marathon, it was time for Trapp to try an ultramarathon. Her first ultra, held on December 30, 1978, was an unusual one. She ran with a field of 54 runners in the Florida Space Coast 50 km, thought to be the world's longest beach run. At age 32, she was the first woman finisher and the tenth overall, with a time of 4:09:42. That impressive time on such a rough surface, ranked her 5th in the world for the 50 km distance. 1979-1981 – World and American Records Lydi Pallares running the 100K In February 1979, Trapp went to run a road 100K in Miami, Florida, with a massive field of 88 runners. It was also the Road Runners Club of America (RRCA) National Championship. They ran a 3.3-mile loop in a park 19 times.

Ross Hamilton —  in drag known as Marjorie  — was born in Pugwash in 1889. He performed in shows for the troops during wartime and helped pioneer the drag scene that exists around the world today. Queer historian Sarah Worthman shares his story.

You need to constantly amp up your social game.   (7:50) Pace Morby Whatever profit you gain from your business you need to find a way to be able to use that profit to fund your life. If you cannot find a way to do this then your business is of no value to you.   (13:29) Brad Barrett Many great entrepreneurs are successful because of their love for creating something. The day you find yourself enjoying creating something rather than just consuming it, you will be able to become a successful entrepreneur one day.   (18:24) Dr Eric Holsapple A huge part of your journey will only consist of you searching for the one thing you are good at. Try to find this ability as soon as you can. You will find success if you can use this unique ability of yours to match your passion.   (22:57) Rylee Meek It's not wicked to have wealth.

Also, remember that the wealthier you are, the more you can help others.    (26:30) Cole Gordon Many people have the talent, but they fail to have the discipline.

Ross Hamilton is the author of several books and the founder of Connected Investors, an investment property marketplace and social network for real estate investors. As a young adult, Ross had a passion for BMX freestyling and trained with the renowned Dave Mirra, the "Michael Jordan" of the sport. Unfortunately, a severe injury forced him to retire from the sport, and he began looking for a new career. Inspired by his entrepreneurial family, Ross discovered real estate while browsing the self-help and investing sections of Barnes and Noble. He quickly amassed a portfolio of 50 residential properties in Wilmington, then sold some of them before the 2008 real estate crash, using the profits to establish Connected Investors. Eventually, Ross' tech company was sold to First American for approximately $100 million. Ross decided to retire at 40 and started an estate-based charity to help those in need.

Welcome back to Making Bank. On today's episode, we have a compilation of previous episodes with Jonathan Jay, Roland Fraiser, KC Chohan, Trevor Blake, Andre Swanston, Ross Hamilton & Antonio Garrido and in this episode you will hear tips and tricks from top entrepreneurs about how to successfully buy or sell a business.   Do not miss this compilation episode of the Best Of Making Bank Series. (2:10) Jonathan Jay The majority of businesses don't succeed past the first five years, so the best approach is to look for a business that's been running for at least five years that makes solid, reliable profits every single month and then once you've got the business, it will continue to make solid, reliable profits month after month for you.   (6:57) Roland Fraiser The best way to identify which business to get into is by using what is known as the acquisition wheel and this wheel consists of seven categories. They are competitors, media, resources, products, services, monthly recurring or annual recurring companies, suppliers, distributors, and ip. Now you need to know who are the primary companies that fit that description.   (15:11) KC Chohan You can save a lot on tax by changing the ownership structure of everything. So when the company is owned by the trust ahead of the sale, when the sale happens, the trust will receive those funds and that saves you all the taxes unless you make a distribution. If you distribute those funds to a beneficiary, they are taxable.   (17:11) Trevor Blake In this new world, you have to rely really on your intuition more than you ever had to before. Develop a strong connection to your intuition so that you can make instantaneous decisions that you feel are right, even though the world might be saying otherwise. This is because you do not have time to always ask for help for everything. You have to react really quickly and for that you need strong intuition.    (20:46) Andre Swanston The value of multi-year contracts was exponentially more in terms of the multiple you could get on revenue as opposed to one-off contracts. And so in terms of preparing to raise another round, you should note that 50 cents of a multi-year contract was worth 2$ to $3 of a one-time expense. So there are different ways that you have to think about growing it and valuation.    (22:47) Ross Hamilton There's a huge change when you remove the word problem and change it with the word project. So now you don't have a problem. You have a project and this mental shift in how you view problems will really help solve a lot of other things that may hinder your business into either growing or even when you want to buy or sell one.   (28:16) Antonio Garrido Leaders with a mindset of abundance as compared to scarcity tend to have a higher success rate. Think about what you're grateful for. You are in a tremendously blessed situation. Ask people how you can help and don't accept an “Everything's good” answer. Keep pushing and once they give you an answer, start following up on your commitments.   Links: @jonathanjay  @exitpathroland  @thetaxbloke  @trevorblake   @dreswan06  @antoniogarrido  @connectedinvestor  http://pix.joshfelber.com/LaKZF0cf

Welcome back to Making Bank. On today's episode, we have a compilation of previous episodes with David Nurse, Brian Will, Pace Morby, Matt Smith, Gary Brecka, Brad Barrett and Ross Hamilton and in this episode you will hear tips and tricks from top entrepreneurs that will ensure you great success.    Do not miss this compilation episode of the Best Of Making Bank Series.   (1:43) David Nurse If your morning routine becomes something that you have to do or the rest of your day is ruined if you don't, then you're losing the battle to that morning routine. It should just be like a supplement. It should be like a boost. That morning routine can help you, but you should not depend on it.   (4:04) Brian Will Who you are can get you to where you are. But if you want to go someplace else, then you're going to have to change who you are. And you need to make a conscious decision, not an emotional one. And that conscious decision is to recognize the fact that you can't get to the next level alone and you need to bring somebody in who's going to help you do that.   (7:30) Pace Morby Don't partner with anybody remotely close to your own personality style. Let people who are different from you handle your business so you can focus on other things. Secondly, never exchange time for money. Instead use your resources to be able to exchange your money for time because nothing is more precious than your time.   (18:16) Matt Smith Mentorship is absolutely a cheat code and anybody that's too stubborn to think that they can't learn from somebody else doesn't deserve to be an entrepreneur. You can't do much on your own and, and get whatever will help you out there and be willing to help others too. It's part of the journey.    (22:30) Gary Brecka The same process that governs a fight or flight response in human beings governs the waking in our minds. It's called catecholamines.This is a category of neurotransmitters that create a sense of wakefulness and if you can't down regulate those catecholamines, your environment will quiet and your mind will wake up.   (25:56) Brad Barrett Discipline is always better than motivation. It's important that you put some tools in place to help you in your business because it is very easy to get motivated for a time being but it takes discipline to actually commit to whatever plan you had going. So the best way to do this is by having a co-pilot. Learn to have a partner so they can be the strength to your weaknesses and help you be disciplined.   (29:51) Ross Hamilton Instead of figuring out so many processes for success, sometimes you just need to look in the mirror and examine your habits, where you're spending your time, your morning and evening routines. Getting your morning right and your evening right, the start and end of your day, can really add up to get you anywhere you want to be.   Links: @davidnursenba  @thedropoutmm  @pacemorby  @mattsmithpueblo  @garybrecka  @brad.barrett  @connectedinvestor

On today's episode, we have a compilation of previous episodes with David Nurse, Brian Will, Pace Morby, Matt Smith, Gary Brecka, Brad Barrett and Ross Hamilton and in this episode you will hear tips and tricks from top entrepreneurs that will ensure you great success.    Do not miss this compilation episode of the Best Of Making Bank Series.   (3:04) David Nurse If your morning routine becomes something that you have to do or the rest of your day is ruined if you don't, then you're losing the battle to that morning routine. It should just be like a supplement. It should be like a boost. That morning routine can help you, but you should not depend on it.   (5:35) Brian Will Who you are can get you to where you are. But if you want to go someplace else, then you're going to have to change who you are. And you need to make a conscious decision, not an emotional one. And that conscious decision is to recognize the fact that you can't get to the next level alone and you need to bring somebody in who's going to help you do that.   (8:52) Pace Morby Don't partner with anybody remotely close to your own personality style. Let people who are different from you handle your business so you can focus on other things. Secondly, never exchange time for money. Instead use your resources to be able to exchange your money for time because nothing is more precious than your time.   (19:33) Matt Smith Mentorship is absolutely a cheat code and anybody that's too stubborn to think that they can't learn from somebody else doesn't deserve to be an entrepreneur. You can't do much on your own and, and get whatever will help you out there and be willing to help others too. It's part of the journey.    (24:02) Gary Brecka The same process that governs a fight or flight response in human beings governs the waking in our minds. It's called catecholamines.This is a category of neurotransmitters that create a sense of wakefulness and if you can't down regulate those catecholamines, your environment will quiet and your mind will wake up.   (27:20) Brad Barrett Discipline is always better than motivation. It's important that you put some tools in place to help you in your business because it is very easy to get motivated for a time being but it takes discipline to actually commit to whatever plan you had going. So the best way to do this is by having a co-pilot. Learn to have a partner so they can be the strength to your weaknesses and help you be disciplined.   (31:22) Ross Hamilton Instead of figuring out so many processes for success, sometimes you just need to look in the mirror and examine your habits, where you're spending your time, your morning and evening routines. Getting your morning right and your evening right, the start and end of your day, can really add up to get you anywhere you want to be.   Links: @davidnursenba  @thedropoutmm  @pacemorby  @mattsmithpueblo  @garybrecka  @brad.barrett  @connectedinvestor

Welcome back to Making Bank. On today's episode, we have Ross Hamilton who is a highly successful entrepreneur, investor, and marketer, and best known for building, scaling, and selling connected investors to First American titles.   In his early years, Ross's passion for BMX led him to train under the legendary, Dave Mira, until an injury ended his BMX career. He then turned his focus on real estate making his first million in his early twenties. Now Ross used the profits from his flips to see the development of connected investors, the social network and investment property marketplace for real estate investors and private lenders.   Don't miss this episode of Ross Hamilton in Making bank.    (3:27) Background Ross started his career as a BMX rider and he trained under Dave Mira. He even found his own BMX clothing brand and he would drive around his Van sponsoring other riders. He then got injured and had to stop, so he turned to books to try to understand how to make a living. He then found out that most entrepreneurs do it through Real Estate and that was what kick started his business career.    (7:40) Real Estate Challenges The biggest challenges in Real Estate investing, can be clubbed into two questions. “Where do I get the money and where do I get the deals?” But the good thing is you can solve this with one answer because if you have a good deal, money is never an issue. But if you have a bad deal then it'll be hard to get money.    (9:22) Connected Investors In real estate, the more people you are connected with, the more money you could make. Find an event and go to it. Show up and something good might happen. It's important to find a group or community that does similar businesses who may have more experience so you can eventually learn more from it too.   (12:25) Ultimate Mind Hack A great hack for anyone who is into Real estate investing or any other business, is to take what you think is holding you back and then try to turn that into your biggest strength. Also, make sure you write down every step you take along your journey as an entrepreneur because then you will get to see not only your progress, but also flaws which you can then work on to become better.   (15:12) Growing A Business When you grow and scale a company, your greatest strength as a founder can become a weakness of an organization because you didn't do a good job building a team of people around you that can do the skill sets that you were really good at. So make sure you take the time to train people so you have a good support system otherwise your superpower can become their weakness.   (19:26) Selling A Business When you sell a business, there will always be challenges because now you are venturing into new territories. But one great mind trick you can do is change the word problem to project. Now you have a project instead of a problem and this shift in mindset will really help you be more positive and help you overcome more challenges that you will face.   (25:27) Habits For Success Instead of figuring out so many processes for success, sometimes you just need to look in the mirror and examine your habits, where you're spending your time, your morning and evening routines. Getting your morning right and your evening right, the start and end of your day, can really add up to get you anywhere you want to be.   Links: www.ross@successcap.com  Twitter: @cinvestors Instagram: @connectedinvestors LinkIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/cirosshamilton/
