Before he was a MacArthur Genius or a Booker Prize-winner, George Saunders was a songwriter, an oil-field worker, and a slaughterhouse “knuckle-puller,” not to mention an MA student at what was then West Texas State University. In this in-depth interview, Amarillo College's Chris Hudson joins me, Ryan Brooks, as we speak with the author of Lincoln in the Bardo, Tenth of December, CivilWarLand in Bad Decline, and many other books. We chat with Saunders about his roots in the Texas Panhandle and how his fascination with Custer has stretched from his first published story (written in Amarillo) to his latest novella, “Liberation Day.” We also discuss his attitudes about work, capitalism, and ghosts; whether the Panhandle is best understood as Steinbeckian or Trumpian; his time as a young musician in the Amarillo Songwriters Association; which of his writing students we should be paying attention to next; Flannery O'Connor; Lucky Hank; and much more. At the end of the interview, Saunders describes the impact three WT English profs – Richard Moseley, Charmazel Dudt, and Sue Park – had on life and his career, including teaching him to have faith in his own responses to literature.  Cover Image: Michael Tomlinson, George Saunders, Pat Pacino, mid-1970s.

Jewish students at Cornell have voiced concern as the campus grapples with complex political allegiances, particularly after several left-wing student groups seemingly defended remarks made by a professor who described a Hamas attack in Southern Israel as "exhilarating."

Just outta college writing articles for the New York Times or Forbes or whatever, who you might be, or these internet things and uh, you know, or listening to people on social media who call themselves experts and they've been in the game for five years.You know, I think you have to really look to the economist. To the experts and really source that out and turn to the investors who've been there, done that.  [00:00:41] Sam Wilson: Rich Fete has a passion for helping people improve their businesses, grow their wealth, and live more fulfilling lives. He's the author of The Wise Investor Extreme Success in the Audio Program. Momentum Rich, welcome to the show.  [00:00:52] Rich Fettke: Thank you. Good to be here.  [00:00:54] Sam Wilson: Pleasure. Look forward to it. Absolutely. Thanks for coming on today, Rich.There are three questions I ask every guest who comes on the show in 90 seconds or less, can you tell me where did you start? Where are you now and how did you get there? [00:01:04] Rich Fettke: Oh man. 90 seconds or less. Okay, I'll do this quickly. My wife and I have a real estate investment group that we started when I was given six months to live., Kathy had to rally. She was a stay at home mom and uh, it was a mis uh, diagnosis. They call it a false positive. They. The melanoma that I had on my skin had spread to my liver. Um, but it was a false diagnosis, but it was that type of, that was the impetus really for Kathy to say, how am I gonna earn an income if Rich dies? So we started this small group that we thought would be, uh, you know, maybe a hundred investors. And that group called Real Wealth we started in 2003, has grown to over 67,000 members today. So we've helped a lot of people get into investment real estate around the country.   [00:01:49] Sam Wilson: Wow. 67,000 members. That's an astounding number. [00:01:56] Rich Fettke: Not, we're grateful .  [00:01:57] Sam Wilson: Absolutely. I mean, there's so many questions I would have from that, but maybe just if you can quickly give the background on what real wealth, what type of, uh, real estate you guys are investing in.  [00:02:09] Rich Fettke: Back then, back in 2003, we were helping people get into single family properties in different markets. Cathy actually had Robert Kiyosaki on her radio show way back when, and he said this was like 2003. He said he was selling all his high priced California properties and moving everything 10 31 exchanging into, uh, Texas. So we followed his advice. We did the same thing. We did a cash out refi on our property up in the San Francisco Bay area when we were living. And we invested in Texas and that's when we had listeners of Kathy's radio show, our friends, our family saying, how did you do this? Are you living here in the Bay Area and investing in Dallas? So we, that's when we started to help people just connect with property brokers, property teams with one to four units, uh, investment properties available. So that's how, that's what got us started. And so it was slow on those beginning years. We had a couple hundred members and I remember we had a thousand members and we were so stoked on that. Then we got to 10,000 members and all, and then we started to syndicate. So we syndicate as well, mostly for residential ground up development is our main focus there. [00:03:18] Sam Wilson: Gotcha. And is that what you guys, is that the main focus here today is ground up, residential? [00:03:24] Rich Fettke: Both. Um, yeah, so we syndicate ground up residential. That is a major focus. We also have a fund with single family properties in it. So, um, that's growing to be a 20 million fund for credit investors. And then we still today help a lot of people, especially first time investors, busy professionals who don't have the time to hunt and find properties. We connect them. Brokers and property teams in emerging markets that are really growing, where the population's moving there, where businesses are moving and we help a lot of them get into their first investment property, which as you know, can be a groundbreaking, you know, just groundbreaking and mindset shift. When you get that first Andre investment property, you kinda like, wait a minute, I'm an investor now. I get this, and then they go on and they'll buy, you know, 10 or they'll get 20 investor loans. Move on up into multi-family, whatever that might be.  [00:04:16] Sam Wilson: Right. Oh, that's really cool. , do you ever just pinch yourself and go, how? I never actually imagined I'd be here  [00:04:22] Rich Fettke: A hundred percent. Yeah. I never knew. Man. No, absolutely. I'm so grateful. You know, I do a lot of visioning. I was a coach for 15 years before we started real well. So I did a lot of visioning and future self and where I wanted to be. And so I'd write out what my future house looked like, who I was like, and this was work I was doing, you know, 25 years ago. So yeah, I'm really grateful I've become that future self. I'm living in Malibu, California in a beautiful home. I got an amazing wife, couple daughters, a grandson. Yeah, and the business that we've built, we're a conscious capitalism company, so we're always about giving back and making sure all of our stakeholders are supported and honored. So yeah, I do pinch myself consistently. See, remember to be grateful, rich. This is awesome. This is what you work for. [00:05:09] Sam Wilson: That's fantastic. What, what have been some of the, I . Guess, toughest. Lessons maybe that you've learned that you said, man, these are things that I would, I would tell anybody getting into real estate, involved in real estate avoid this or do it differently. [00:05:25] Rich Fettke: Yeah. On the real estate side of things, it is, uh, cuz Cathy and I went through 2008 and we got leveled, we got rocked, and we had foreclosures, we had short sales. It really hit us hard and so we recovered from that obviously, but it took some. So, I mean, real estate wise, it makes sure that any investment makes sense from day one. When you buy it, make sure it's a cash flowing property. Make sure you're not doing short term, um, bridge loans or any short term financing that you know you can't cover. If things turn cuz things can turn, you know, things can turn quick. We've seen it. So that's the main thing. Make sure everything makes sense from day one. Don't bet on appreciation. Don't bet. This is all gonna go well, you know, this is what they say. You're looking at a multi-family and you got this seller and they're saying, oh yeah, you can improve management. You can improve this. Assume that you can't, and make sure it still makes sense from there. Right. So that's on the real estate side. On the personal side, it is, honestly, it's work on yourself. What I've seen with the 67,000 members of real. Myself, the people that I network with, my colleagues in real estate. It's the people who work on themselves to be better humans, to be more focused, to be more effective. When you put that work in on yourself, that's when all the other stuff works so much better.  [00:06:41] Sam Wilson: Wow, that's great. That's great. Tell me about building a team. I mean, you can't possibly have 67,000 members in the Real Wealth Group without having an amazing team behind you. What's that process been like?   [00:06:57] Rich Fettke: That's so true though. It's so true. You know, one thing I'm always saying to my team is, the only thing more important than a great idea is the team that can see it through. And I just, I believe that on our core level, it is my unique ability. It's what I bring to real wealth. You know, my wife, Kathy, Is the co-founder of Real Wealth, and she is like the magic maker. She understands markets, she understands market cycles. That's why she's on, you know, bigger pockets on the market as a co-host on that. And just awesome. What I bring is being able to lead a team of amazing people, , to follow our purpose, our mission, and our goals. So for me, it's all about making sure people have autonomy, making sure that they have responsibility for their own part of the. It's really inspiring and to be about something bigger than just making money, you know, it's important. Money's really important. What we do is we donate 10% of our profits from real estate transactions to organizations that change the world, like Habitat for Humanity and Operations, smile Mentors International, and then that just rallies a team.So we're not just about let's hit this income goal, or let's sell this many properties, or whatever it might. Often it's, let's do this because we can continue to give back and we have a profit sharing plan. So everyone, the better the company does, the better everyone in the company does. Everyone's on our profit sharing plan. I think those are some of the keys to really inspire a team to everyone collectively work together and be in sync and have an awesome culture. All that good.   [00:08:27] Sam Wilson: And that's so true. And that's one of the things we were actually discussing, uh, at a meeting this morning, which was how, how do we break down, you know, I won't go into the details on it, but incentivize correctly and motivate. And I think you hit on it there with the, you know, having a profit sharing plan, having a, a part, a part of your company that gives back. Are there other things that you feel like, or some strategic shifts maybe you made that help define your culture in your company.  [00:08:52] Rich Fettke: setting core values, you know, you hear it all the time, but it's really important. Our core values spell atomic , which is, you know, a very small thing that has a big powerful impact. So we have accountability, we have, uh, transparency, which is a big one, making sure that. Share their feelings with each other that they speak up, that they don't hold things back. We have optimism is one of our core values. So always coming back to these core values. Mastery is another one. Integrity is another one. Connection is another one. So we're constantly reinforcing and talking about these core values. At a minimum quarterly, I do a state of the company address every quarter looking at how do we do profitability wise? How many people do. How many people filled out our real wealth assessment that have, we've helped them create real wealth in their lives, which is, like I said, it's more than just money. It's about living life on your own terms. So all these things constantly coming back to those core values and looking at how we're on purpose and just like a sports team, you know what I mean? When you're keeping score, everyone gets all stoked and they wanna win and they wanna move up the ladder to the championships. So it's kinda the way it is at real. [00:09:59] Sam Wilson: No, that's great. I love, I absolutely love that. Um, tell me this, if we can shift maybe just slightly and talk a little bit about maybe the market cycle and what you guys are seeing. I mean, you went through 2008, you said that was a super painful time. You guys, you know, you said, you mentioned the word foreclosure and short sales and all the dirty words that none of us enjoy . Um, You know, and so where, where are we now? What are you advising investors? What are, what, what's, what's the correct move if, if there is such a one for a podcast, you know, for everybody here today? [00:10:33] Rich Fettke: Mm. Yeah. I mean, we aren't, we're in crazy times. There's no doubt about it. When, you know, it's a completely different scenario than 2008, as you know, and I'm sure your listeners know and. . You know, it's, it's crazy times we're seeing it. There's, you know, a lot of investors are in freeze mode. Yeah. And that's the biggest thing that's impacting us as an organization where there's so many investors, especially new investors who are just like, oh my God, the mainstream media is telling me there's gonna be a crash and a recession, and interest rates are terrible and affordability's, you know, terrible and all this stuff. So there's a lot of investors sitting on the side. The experience. Investors are the ones who are diving in and negotiating and getting better deals and getting their property management to do free property management for a while. Or sellers will, they'll pay for that. Even, uh, sellers paying down interest rates and that's, I'm seeing that today, which you didn't see back then, but you know, we still have what, I think it's four. Homes shy right now that we need, we didn't have that in 2008, so there's still 4 million homes that we need because the rate of building has decreased so much. And then with the supply chain issues that we went through over the last couple years, it's had a huge impact on builders as well, so, It's just different. You know, back then there was too much inventory and people were on these, no income, no asset loans. And so it's a whole different world today. But I would say the best thing you could do as an investor in today's market and where we're heading, I don't think it's gonna be a crash. There is gonna be some softening, especially in the overpriced markets, the markets, and we need it. Honestly. You know, some of these markets need a correction. They need to lower it to be more affordable so people can have a home. But with that as an I. Really, I think it's about educating yourself. Really, really looking to experts who are not the mainstream media. Who are these kids? Just outta college writing articles for the New York Times or Forbes or whatever you might be, or these internet things. And you know, or listening to people on social media who call themselves experts and they've been in the game for five years. You know, I think you have to really look to the economy. To the experts and really source that out in turn to the investors who've been there, done that. You know, that's, that's what Cathy and I do. We really talk to the people who are in the game, who've been through 2008, who have a clear game plan and we learn from them.  [00:12:52] Sam Wilson: Love it. That's absolutely sage advice. Talk to me about the affordable housing crisis. People are calling it. What's, what's happened on that front? Is there an opportunity for investors? And I said this yesterday on a podcast. it was some of the effect of what we create serves the customer. Like it creates an awesome product for the customer and I am then in turn rewarded with profit. Like I'm not opposed to that, but is there [00:13:18] Rich Fettke: That's just capitalism, right?  [00:13:20] Sam Wilson: Right, right. I provide an awesome service and they reward me with profit. It's great. Is there a way in affordable housing or is there an opportunity in affordable housing for investors to make a difference and also turn a profit. [00:13:30] Rich Fettke: Absolutely, absolutely. You know, I've got some good friends. Um, you know, one of 'em is Ken McElroy, who owns 10,000 doors. You know, he does a lot with multifamily and property management. One thing he does is whenever he makes, uh, a rent increase, he always does something to improve his facilities, whatever it might be. So if someone at tenant's gonna get an rent, First he says, Hey, rent is going up and we're also gonna do, we're gonna put all new appliances for you, or you need new floors, we're gonna put in new hardwood floors, or replace your carpets, whatever it might be. So that's one way to create a win-win where you wanna just, you don't wanna put off the rent increase because then all of a sudden you, you start your, you're slipping behind. But to do something like that, there's, that's a one, a win-win that really benefits people. But you know, just provide. Affordable housing and not being a slum lord, and having people, you know, helping people get into quality properties, whether that be multifamily or single family, helping them do that as an investor, that's, that's really giving back. You know, Cathy was awarded, um, one of the top 100 intrigue, most intriguing entrepreneurs by Goldman Sachs for two years in a row. Wow. And she went up and she was talking to Lloyd Blankfein and she said, I don't get it. Why? I'm, I'm here. The founders of Uber and Method Soap and Elon Musk and, and all this stuff. What am I here for? And he said, be, and this is, this is probably about 20 12, 20 13, and he said, because you're changing the world. You are helping people. You're going into these neighborhoods with foreclosures. You're helping investors acquire these properties, fix 'em. And then helping, you know, creating affordable housing for people. That's a game changer. So you are an intriguing entrepreneur. So I think that's it. We do a service and we have to really remember that. That we are serving people, just like you said. So how can we serve people more effectively?    [00:15:24] Sam Wilson: Right. I love that. That's absolutely great. Before we sign off here, rich, I want to hear about your latest book. Can you tell me, uh, the name of it and then, you know, there's a lot of financial books out there. Can you tell me why is yours different? [00:15:39] Rich Fettke: Yeah, there are a lot of great financial books in, I just got this two days. It's called a Wise Investor. This is my hard cover. I just finally got, it's the real deal.That's awesome. I've been waiting for a while. Supply chain issues. Right. I had to wait seven months for this book to get printed because the paper mills are so shy on paper. [00:15:58] Sam Wilson: for a hardback book. It was seven months? [00:16:01] Rich Fettke: Seven months from which I wrote. I finished writing this book a year ago. Wow. So what makes it different? And that's why I'm so stoked to be able to hold it. What makes it different is it's a parable. So if you kind of think. Blending Rich Dad, poor Dad, and The Alchemist and the Richest Man in Babylon. If you blended those all into one book, that's kind of what The Wise Investor is. It's a parable about creating financial freedom and also about living your best life. So it's all about taking the lessons that I've learned over the last 20 years as a real estate investor and the lessons 15 years before that I, I gained as a coach working with hundreds of clients. Everything about how to be your best self, how to live a better life, how to live a more balanced life, but also how to create financial freedom. And of course it's with a focus on real estate investing. [00:16:47] Sam Wilson: Absolutely. I love it. If our listeners wanna get a copy of that, when and how do they do that? [00:16:53] Rich Fettke: Uh, they can do it right now. It's on Amazon. It's on all major book sellers. Uh, hard cover's gonna be shipping out in early December, so coming up really soon, the Audible, I mean the, um, Kindle version came out back in April. It's doing really well. And then the Audible, which I did the narration four, which was kind of fun cuz there's 10 different characters. Women, kids, . I had to do a little voice acting classes on that one. But, uh, that came out, um, August 30. And now the hard cover's coming out and it's, you can order it, you can pre-order it now on Amazon or wherever books are sold. [00:17:24] Sam Wilson: That is awesome. One last question for you. If it is like a Rich Dad, poor dad, or the richest man in Babylon, are the characters in the book based on real people?  [00:17:36] Rich Fettke: a great question. Yes, it's a fictional story, but definitely based on real world people and real world situations. Everything from, you know, Cathy and me and the lessons that we learned going through 2008. Uh, other friends of ours who, um, I'm sure a lot of what your listeners would know, you know, based on their story and what we've learned from them. And also honestly, a lot of the members in real. Kathy and I interviewed them on her podcast and we call it Real Well Story. So we find out where they were, what did they do, and where are they now. And so a lot of those lessons just inspired me, like, oh, I gotta, I have to weed this into this story. So it tells a story. The wise investor tells a story of this guy who's. Like a hard working family man. He's got a couple kids, a wife, um, but he works so many hours and he can't get ahead and he, so he doesn't have time for his wife or his kids. And then he meets this wise mentor who is an investor, and he teaches him a new way to financial security for himself or his family. And this guy, the main character's name's Ryan Brooks. He becomes wealthy in way more ways than he thought. [00:18:38] Sam Wilson: That's fantastic. Rich, thank you so much for coming on the show today. If listeners wanna get in touch with you or learn more about the Real Wealth Network, what is the best way to do?  [00:18:52] Rich Fettke: Super simple, just real wealth.com. real easy. [00:18:53] Sam Wilson: fantastic real wealth.com. We'll make sure you put that there in the show notes. Rich, thank you again for coming on today. I certainly appreciate it. Bye guys.

Today's Ritter On Real Estate guest is Rich Fettke. Twenty years ago, Rich was told he had six months to live at 37 years old. Thankfully, the doctor's diagnosis was wrong; the melanoma did not spread to his liver. However, that initial diagnosis caused his wife to find a way to make ends meet if he died. She found mentors who helped guide her and led her to learn about real estate investing. After he was healed, they began to invest and learned a way to financial freedom. They wanted to help their friends and family do the same, so they formed what they thought would be a small group of people to learn about investing together. Today that small group has grown to over 60,000 members. The company that Rich and Kathy built, RealWealth, has helped thousands of people create financial freedom in their own lives. Rich is also the author of Extreme Success (Simon & Schuster, 2002) and the audio program, Momentum.  Key Points From The Episode: Rich's life-shattering false positive diagnosis. How it changed his life.Rich's experience house hacking, seeing how real estate creates wealth. Buying 5 properties.Starting Real Wealth, how Rich and his team empower/teach investors. The importance of spending time to get quiet and think.How meditation benefits the brain. The importance of community.What separates Rich's book from other real estate books.Rich defines what a “Henry” Is. Getting clear about what you want in life. Understanding assets vs liabilities.The wealthy value time and education. About Rich's Book:The Wise Investor is an inspiring parable about building what author Rich Fettke calls Real Wealth, the foundation of financial freedom. It tells the story of Ryan Brooks, a husband, father, and CaptivSoft's hard-working lead coder who, with the help of a new friend and mentor, finds a different path to financial security for himself and his family and becomes wealthy in more ways than he thought possible. The foreword was written by Robert Kiyosaki (Author of Rich Dad Poor Dad) and the book has been endorsed by Brandon Turner (BiggerPockets Podcasts and Author of The Book on Rental Property Investing), Kristine Carlson (Co-Author of Don't Sweat the Small Stuff books), Ken McElroy (Author and Investor) and Jon Gordon (Author of The Carpenter and The Energy Bus).Websites & Social Mediahttps://www.thewiseinvestorbook.comhttps://www.fettke.comhttps://realwealth.comhttps://www.instagram.com/richfettkehttps://www.facebook.com/rich.fettkehttps://www.linkedin.com/in/fettke/Books Mentioned:The Wise Investor By Rich Fettke

I'm Michael Albaum and today I'm joined by Rich Fettke, who is an author, investor, coaching mentor, surfer, among many other things, and Rich is going to be talking to us today about some of the mistakes he seen investors make the value of having a coach and mentor as well as what you can expect to find in his book, which is soon to be released. So let's get into it.   Rich, what's going on, man? Welcome to the Remote Real Estate Investor. Thanks for hanging out with me.   Rich: Good to be here. Great hanging out with you.   Michael: Super excited. So before we hit record here, you and I were chatting a little bit about some sports where you both share in common, but I would love if you could give our listeners a little bit of insight into who you are, where you come from and what it is that you're doing in real estate today.   Rich: Sure, absolutely. My name is Rich Fettke and yeah, interesting. The way we got into real estate investing, I'm an I'm an investor and my wife and I also have a company that helps investors but that was what really got us into it was despair. It was about it was exactly 20 years ago, I was on top of my game, I had a book deal, just signed with Simon and Schuster. I was a business and personal coach had a thriving coaching practice, I was giving keynote speeches all over the country. It was like I was just crushing it and I felt so good. I was 37 years old and then I was diagnosed with melanoma, which is an advanced skin cancer but that's not the biggest deal is that they thought it spread to my liver.   So they had me do a CT scan and ultrasound and it kept showing these masses on my liver and so I met with an oncologist and he said, you know, it looks like you got about six months to live and we had a 10 year old daughter. Yeah, it just rocked my world, I had a 10 year old daughter, a three year old daughter. My wife is amazing but she was a stay at home mom and so she was freaking in the sense of what am I going to do financially if Rich dies and so she started to she had a as a coach, we were doing things together, she was also a trained coach and so she had this small radio station in San Francisco that she used to do a radio show on about all areas of life being your best self and personal development and all and she said I gotta figure this out. So she started to help people on that were financially successful, and was interviewing them about how do they create wealth and how do they create financial success and most of them turned out to be real estate investors. No surprise, so she came home all excited. One of them was a mortgage broker and he said, if you get your license, you can come become a mortgage broker. This is about 2003. So you know, things were still the mortgage world is pretty easy back then. So she went and did that. In the meantime, we figured out I had a PET scan, which is the most advanced scan for cancer, and it showed me cancer free. So it was just it was a false diagnosis. It was just hemangiomas little clusters of blood vessels on my liver but that was enough for me to go for those three months of not knowing if I was going to be alive, it was enough to give us the kick in the butt to get out and, and make things happen. So Kathy, and I see after that after I was healed, we started to invest together. We bought a bunch of properties in the Dallas, Texas area and it just took off from there and then Kathy started to help other investors with their mortgages. We had a bunch of friends and family saying, tell us how are you doing this? We you know, how are you doing this out of state investing and so we started we formed a group that we thought would be just a small group of family and friends and people that listen to the radio show. We thought it'd be a couple 100 people and today it's over 64,000 members now at real wealth that we're helping invest.   Michael: It's pretty amazing. Richard, good for you guys, so I I'm curious in your coaching business before you got diagnosed, did you ever come across real estate investors?   Rich: That I coached? Yes. Yeah and my mindset was, I want to invest in real estate someday when I have enough money and so and I was thinking I needed, you know, several $100,000 you know, to buy that first rental property or first investment, not realizing the power of leverage and how much banks love to lend money on real estate and so that was that was the eye opener for us.   Michael: Okay, I love it and what made you go remote? I mean, you're in California and your wife live in in San Francisco. Why did you pick to invest outside California?   Rich: Actually Robert Kiyosaki. It was she because Kathy was on the San Francisco radio station she was and it got bigger and bigger or she was able to attract some pretty big names and then this guy who had just written a book called Rich Dad, Poor Dad, not long before that, and he had this cashflow game that he was promoting and we had a friend who was his distributor for crypto cash flow game back in the day and so he was on the radio show, and he warned Kathy's listeners to sell their overpriced California properties and to invest in Texas and so we took his advice. Not we didn't sell all our expensive property, sadly, because 2008 crushed us with our California properties but it was, you know, he just saying for cash flow and what's going to happen, he was currently kind of calling out what was going to happen in 2008-2007. That's what sent us out of state.   Michael: Love it. So you also recently have written a book, haven't you?   Rich: Yeah, I just finished my second book. 20 years later, well, I have an audio program back then, too but yeah, it took me 20 years to write my second book and it's called the wise investor and it's a lot different than my first book that was mostly coaching focused. It was a nonfiction, basically a personal development book and this book is a modern parable. So it's story forum, and it tells a story of creating financial freedom and but also living your best life.   Michael: That's awesome and why did you decide to write it?   Rich: Interesting process, you know, I've had my own coach, to walk the talk to over the last 25 years now, I started coaching 25 years ago, and this coach that I that I still talk to every week, or every other week, now, he kept kind of he had read my first book, so he's always kind of knocking on me saying, when are you going to write your next book? When are you going to write your next book and I was like, I'm too busy running this company, you know, we have 27 employees and but then what we did is we applied story branding to our company. Are you familiar with that story branding?   It's a guy named Don Miller. He wrote a book called Building a story brand and it's all about basically telling the hero's journey, Joseph Campbell's work, using the hero's journey, just like great movies, do great books do weaving a story where your customer is the hero, and you are the guide. So the company is the guide, you help your customers and so we changed everything on our marketing around that, and how we served our members as being the heroes and I just got into this whole storytelling thing. I'm like, this is fascinating the structure of how to write a story, a compelling story that engages people that elicits an emotional change all that and so one day when in a coaching session, I said, you know, if I was going to write a book, I'd probably tell a story and then he heard that and you just like, What do you mean, tell me more and then that was the spark. So then then I get obsessed with it and I'm like, I could write a parable about what I've learned over the last 20 years as an investor, what I've learned in the last 25 years as a coach, yeah, and kind of weave them together into a story.   Michael: How cool and without giving away too much of the book. I mean, what could people what should people expect to find when they when they get a copy?   Rich: Basically, it's about this family, man, his name is Ryan Brooks and he's like a hard worker. He's got a wife, he's got a couple kids, and he's making a decent six figure income maxing out his 401k but he has no time for his wife or his kids or even his life and he's not investing. He's basically what we call today, Henry, right? A high earner, not rich yet. So he's…   Michael: I love it.   Rich: Yeah, they're out there does a lot of people you know, especially in California, where I'm based, and that make a lot of money, make a good income, but they're not rich, they're not wealthy, and they're not investing their money. They're spending it on things and so this guy is, is in that same trap. So he just starts to learn from he meets this new friend and mentor, who takes him out on adventures. Of course, it takes him out climbing takes him out mountain biking in in the sessions, when they're having fun together. He teaches him about investing about how wealthy people think, how rich people operate, and how and how poor people operate and think and he really goes over the difference between, you know, truly wealthy people, and people with a lot of money. He even says, you know, I know some people who are so poor, all they have is money and I see that in Malibu, you know, where I live there's a lot of has a lot of money and some of the people are really stoked and really happy and getting the most out of life and investing their money at some of the people are grumpy and miserable and, you know, that's rich in money but not in life.   So there's a lot of lessons about helping Ryan Brooks and his mentor walks them through this on how to invest how to how to really look at life through a different lens. One of my favorite things a mentor says to his mentor is about assets and he just kind of puts it in a different frame. He's like, you know, assets is are anything that will provide you income, or better health or happiness or two time and liability is anything that detracts from your income, or your health or your happiness or your time. So it's kind of a cool that type of perspective is this mentor is like, he's the me I hope to be in the future. He's that in that wise investor who's you know, he's got it all together, he's got this sage advice. He's very stoic, but he shares these lessons. So it covers the journey of five years of when they first met, and Ryan Brooks is struggling and just doesn't know what to do and it shows five years later, what happens and how he becomes wealthy in more ways than just money. I love it in money, too.   Michael: I love it. I love it enrich. Where can people find the book?   Rich: It's on Amazon, all major booksellers, published through Rich Dad advisors. So Robert Kiyosaki wrote the foreword for me, which I'm very grateful for… Come full, full circle, right.   Michael: Totally.   Rich: Yeah. So it's on Amazon. It's called the wise investor. Subtitle is a modern parable about creating financial freedom and living your best life. I got the cover right here. So it's out on eBook. This is what the cover looks like. Perfect. So it's out on eBook. But the printed version, the hardcover and the audio book won't be out until August and it's because of just like real estate supply chain issues. There's not enough paper at the printers, so it's a long wait six, seven months now to get a book printed.   Michael: Holy smokes…   Rich: Isn't it wild?   Michael: Yeah, okay. Well, I'm interested, get your order in now, because it might be a while.   Rich: Right, yeah. So hopefully it all comes out in August. Hopefully it comes out earlier in August but yeah, and the audio book was, that was a fun challenge for me. Big goal, because, you know, it's a story and there's 10 different characters, females, older people, young kids, so I had to become, I had to learn some voice acting skills over the period of a couple of months and really practice it. Oh, how can I think I pulled it off, we'll see how the reviews are.   Michael: Right on. That's great. Well, Rich, I'm curious to get your opinion on something because you're a coach, I will also work as a coach and there are folks out there that say you can take the horse to water, but you can't make him drink and so thinking about kind of the Henry's out there, and I think a lot of our listeners might find themselves in this boat, too. They have friends, family, folks around them that don't get real estate investing, right? I have a six figure job, I got a great job, why would I bother investing, I can make more money at my job. So what do you say to all those people and really, how do you position investing in general or real estate investing specifically to the people that think they haven't really good as things stand?   Rich: Yeah, I mean, first of all, you know, as a coach, I'm going to help point out what is good first, you know, this is the way I coach, the gratefulness piece and, you know, it's like, well, you know, be stoked on that six figure job, or whatever it is and it's about creating freedom and so many people don't have that freedom and that's what the Henry's don't have. If they have a short runway, if they stopped if they lost their job, which we've seen happen, they don't have many months left of cash flow, to be able to live their lifestyle, or any type of lifestyle. So that's the biggest thing would be that, do you want to create freedom for yourself, and not have the stress of losing your job, or wanting to move to a different job, if you're not loving what you're doing, a lot of people stay trapped, struggling, just trapped in their jobs, because it's like, this is my income, this is the way this is what I need to make ends meet. So that's the biggest thing, it's really about having your money, make money, so you can create freedom in the future freedom of time and everything. I think that's the biggest one and then so then flipping on the other side, there's something too about America, in the world that we are preprogrammed.   When we think invest, we think stock market and you know, I have nothing against it and Kathy and I are and my wife and I are invested in the stock market, but our major focus and the big aha, back through that story is, you know, we were doing that we were contributing to our IRAs and, you know, doing everything we were supposed to do investing in the stock market. But when we learned about leverage the power of leverage and how you can like 5x your money, just through the power of leverage. I mean, that's a standout and that's one of the lessons the mentor goes over in the book. He, he has Ryan compared to say, say you have $200,000 to invest and you invest 200,000, and gold, you put 200,000 and you buy, you buy maybe 400,000 in the stock market on that, you just leverage it and then you invest that same amount into real estate and then he kind of plays it out over five years, and over 10 years, sorry. So he's like 10 years later, and he said, so how much would the gold be worth at the same appreciation that's gold has been at and they look at that outcome and he said, oh, now let's look at your stocks and he looks at that. It's like good, he's got a decent return. Another investment, you know, he's got home and he's like, almost tripled his money but then the real estate, he looks at it, and he's 5x his money and more and then he's like, and that doesn't include the cash flow. It doesn't appreciate all the depreciation write offs and the tax benefits. So it's kind of like an eye opener to be like, oh, wait a minute. Now I see the, you know that the angels sing about investing in real estate and all those amazing, amazing benefits.   Michael: Totally, totally. Yeah, that makes that makes complete sense and curious, rich to get your thoughts on when looking for a coach because I think that that's something that some people have trouble wrapping their head around, it's like, oh, I you know, I don't have a coach in life and so I would never be inclined to go get a coach or pay for coaching and so if people are inclined to do so if people are okay, accepting that, what are some things they should be looking for when selecting a coach, or a mentor or whatever, you'd have someone to help walk them through their journey?   Rich: Yeah and that's a great question. It's like, I'd actually like to start step back a little bit, because you said what if they want to coach I would even go as far as there's a lot of people that I meet who say, Why do I need a coach, you know, I can hold myself accountable. I, I know how to set goals. I know how to go after what I want and everything in so why would I… Yeah, like you said, Why would I even pay someone or do anything like that and it's, you know, it's that age old metaphor or an analogy of an Olympic athlete, right? Did they get to the Olympics without a coach? No, you need someone to point things out. So for me, I know the power of coaching has been incredibly amazing because I have a coach to basically hold up the mirror to ask me the questions that I'm not asking myself, to help me look at myself and be like, you know, asking those tough questions. How are you operating? Are you being your best self? Are you, where are you getting in your own way? What's that inner Gremlin in your head saying to you? What's your limiting beliefs and what are you going to do here, what and look at new perspectives, new ideas. So there's a power in that, that it's called, I'm certified in CO active coaching, which is two people, you know, when you come together, you come up with ideas that you neither would have thought about their own? So that's another powerful piece of coaching. So that's, that's the first part of my answer and then the second part is, when you're looking for a coach, I think it's really what you're looking for.   So are you looking for a mentor, which is I think, different than a coach, a mentor has kind of been there, done that, just like the mentor, and in the book I wrote, he's been there and done that. So he can say, if you just do what I did, you will be where I am, which is awesome, and very valuable and that's a mentor and I think some people are looking for training and consulting, where they sign up for a coaching program. But it's more about teaching to learn a specific skill and that's very valuable to so and then the third one would be looking for a coach who's more like that coactive approach where it's someone who I first shared, and what I've gotten from coaching is someone to ask the most powerful questions, someone who's intuitive, someone who can really help you shift your mindset and be your best self and operate at your best self. So that would be a another type of coach or a peer coach in my eyes and sometimes it comes together, you know, I'll say to my clients, do you mind if I throw on my consulting hat right now or my mentoring hat? So they know that I'm stepping out of that coat peer coaching role and be like, you know, I've invested in real estate for a while I can give you some advice here, I'm not going to have you, you know, go and search it and try to learn it elsewhere when I've got it right here, and I can share it with you. So I think that's it, it's like looking for what is it that you want? What are you looking for and that would be the first thing and when I was interviewing for a coach and looking for I've had several coaches over the past 25 years, when I interview a coach, I'm always coming from the place of like, what's the vibe? What's it feel like to be coached by this person?   Do they? Do they ask powerful questions? Are they really hearing me and are they into my vision? You know, I think the biggest thing would be connecting with that coach, and really, really noticing, like, is this coach, really seeing my vision? Do they really get me who I am and what I want what's going to help me be fulfilled in my life, and in my career, and it's just a sense thing. So you can get that sometimes you you're talking to a coach, it's like, oh, this guy's or gals just coaching for the money, you know, just looking for another client. Sometimes you talk to a coach, it's like, wow, this person is really like, wants to coach me on their ideal client and so you can sense that   Michael: Interesting and how should people be thinking about it for themselves? If maybe they're not sure if someone is just getting started out in this journey, they know they want to invest in real estate, that's the goal but they don't know how to approach it to the to coaching and mentoring a consultant. I mean, what are some questions that they could be asking or things they could be thinking about, as they're starting?   Rich: That process gets great, I mean, experience, I would ask for experience and you know, I think it's great, you can find you can definitely find a coach, you know, or whatever they call themselves. They might call themselves a mentor, but it's like asking those questions. and talking to that person, just you know. So here are some of my goals. I know that you invest in real estate, can you tell me about your real estate background? What's your investment, investment philosophy? What have you invested in and I would even ask the coach, you know, what's been your biggest challenge your biggest failure as a real estate investor, you know, get see how vulnerable and real they are and if they're willing to, you know, to share that, and what's been your biggest, you know, what's been your biggest win as a real estate investor and what's your greatest strength? So I would ask some of those questions of a coach and then also like, what's, where do you I mean, real estate investing so broad, right and so it's like, what do you specialize in? What do you know best? When it comes to real estate investing?   Michael: Yeah, I love that. You mentioned tell me your biggest failure, biggest flop. I had a mentor back in the day, and he said, I don't trust anybody without a limp. Yeah, because like the people that have only had successes don't know how to do save no right to ship when things go sideways, and they will go sideways.   Rich: They will, they will. Yeah, I know that people who got into real estate in 2010-2015, who are just, you know, knock it out of the park, and they think they're, you know, superheroes. Sometimes I'm like, oh, careful, careful   Michael: We are all superheroes in this, you know, the last decade.   Rich: Exactly. Yeah, yeah.   Michael: So Rich, talk to us a little bit about what you've seen. Some of your coaching students or mentees get right and what have they gotten wrong because you really we have the beauty of hindsight now…   Rich: When it comes to investing, specifically?   Michael: When it comes to investing specifically…   Rich: Yeah, wrong and it's the same mistakes that Kathy and I made too. And it's that you try to talk people out of it and it's like buying an overpriced property in a non-landlord friendly state that is maybe slightly negative cashflow, or just breakeven, and they're looking at and say, but look at how this is appreciating in five years, it's going to be worth this much and it's like, no, so honestly, that's the biggest mistake I can see and I can see it in single family all the way up to multifamily. You know, just speaking at these conferences and meeting with a lot of people are doing multifamily. They think they're superheroes. They're doing this short term, short term lending short term loans, and bridge loans and really dangerous stuff at this time in the market because it's what's worked in the past and they think that they just like, Well, yeah, it's like, I know, this is a I know, it's only a you know, 2% cap rate, but that's okay because, yeah, just a one in three years… Yeah, exactly, so there's something there's something about, there's something about that. Yeah, it's just it's fundamentals, I think that's what it is, is comes down to investing fundamentals and that's what we preach at our company. It's how we help our investors, it's just really coming back to the fundamentals. Make sure you're doing it right.   Michael: Yeah, that makes sense and what about the other side of that coin for the folks that you've really just seen knock it out of the park? What are they doing and you can't say the fundamentals, you have to pick a different answer go?   Rich: That's great. I love that. Agreed, yeah, what value is that? Really, it's the people who, what I've seen, it's the people who take the long term game plan to the boring investors, the ones who are not trying to do this rapid growth, and trying to 10x their portfolio or 20, exit, or whatever it is. So it's keeping that long term perspective and just, you know, making sure that you can control the properties through any type of downturn and so the lessons learned that that, you know, being going through the whole recession, the Great Recession, and the whole mortgage meltdown, and all that big lessons came from that and so that it's the people who take out long term, continuously reinvesting to so it's like, you start this small, small portfolio, whether it's passive or active, and then you just start expanding and expanding and expanding it and I would say, it's the people who focus on the overall cash flow, not just I mean, brink weaving into appreciation, but looking at it, like five years from now, this is what my portfolio will most likely be doing based on everything, even if there's a recession, or whatever and then looking out 10 years and looking at it 15 years.   So it's that big picture and then reinvesting. The opposite of that would be someone who's I have some friends who were only flipping, so very transactional, and they had to find the properties either flip it and that's where their income was coming through into constantly flipping it and they adjusted the wise ones and the smart ones adjusted and switch to the bur stead strategy and so they started to find these properties, fix them up, but then they would hold them and rent them out and now they're the ones that have amassed a good amount of wealth, whereas the other people who are flipping are still in the transaction game.   Michael: Yeah. Ah, that makes sense, that makes sense. Okay. We've had a pretty good debate on the show over episodes about something called an alligator, which I don't know if you know Michael Zuber at all he's an author of one rental at a time. He's a good friend of the podcast, but in his definition alligators any property, that's negative cashflow, you have to feed it every month to keep continue owning it. So as you're talking about big picture, are you okay? If you say for instance, take out a cash out refinance a property to make that property a go negative, but to buy property B and now your global cumulative cash flow is greater than that a property a alone.   Rich: I'm in the camp of no, don't, do not no, no negative cashflow and negative cash flow and I'll be completely honest and transparent that the house at Kathy and I were in in Malibu before this, we bought it, we fix it up, we bought it for $747,000 in Malibu, which is rare, hard to find, it's like unheard of. Yeah, it was like it was a one bedroom, one bath built in 1927 and we had to completely gutted it and rehab and we put about 300,000 into it and then we didn't get permits. So we got busted in that process and now there's still a lien on title from LA county building department and so we can't sell that place and we can't even get a refi until we get those liens off title and get it all permanent everything which is a, that's a whole different stories…   Michael: Trying to get us to do an entire podcast series…     Rich: Coastal Commission and all that stuff. So oh my gosh, so we have a tenant in there and it's slightly cash negative cash flow. So that's like 150 to 200 a month negative cash flow.   So being completely honest, we do have a negative cash flow, it drives me crazy and that house has gone up probably $400,000 over the last couple of years in value. So we could look at it that way. But we can beyond that everything that we hold is positive cash flow, even if it's just like $100 a month positive. That's fine and if we're going to do a cash out refi we make sure that it's appreciated enough where we can do that cash out refi and not have the loan payment, PTI go over what we're gonna get for rental income.   Michael: Yeah, makes sense. Well, I appreciate you sharing the misstep and the vulnerability here on the show but it wasn't intentional, that was just a series of consequences. That hadn't be negative. You wouldn't you would intentionally do that.   Rich: Yeah, we did bring it on ourselves and but yeah, wasn't intentional. We didn't want to get caught.   Michael: I've played that game before, too. It's a risky one.   Rich: It is. Yeah, so you're always looking out the window and yeah…   Michael: Who is coming in, roday gonna be the day get caught o maybe tomorrow?   Rich: Exactly. When we were almost done. We were building the final deck in the back and all of a sudden, this building inspector shows I'm investigating you because one of your neighbors called…   Michael: I was gonna say but it's probably one of your neighbors.   Rich: Yeah, because it would make the cut and concrete and it was so loud or for the whole week. I think it just drove this neighbor crazy and so it is what it is.   Michael: As soon as a quick aside one of the other hosts on the show with me, Tom he, one of his neighbors called on him he was adding an offer a small prefab office in the backyard of his property. neighbor called he gets in trouble. Same thing didn't pull permits. So now he's going through that whole rigmarole. But the funny part is the neighbor that called Tom found out that their fence is on Tom's property, it's on the wrong side of the property. He's like, thanks for calling and alerting me to that little fact.   Michael: Unbelievable.   Rich: So he's, he's playing that game. How do I how do I want to you know, play my next hand?   Rich: The revenge game…   Michael: That's it, that's it, best served cold on ice. Okay, Rich. Let's wrap up here. I'm curious to get your thoughts. We are in this very unique time in our economy in our market in this country and I'm just curious to kind of get your thoughts on what are you doing, personally as an investor and what are you doing in your business and what are you telling your students to do, as well?   Rich: Absolutely, yeah. I have the benefit of being married to Kathy Fettke, who has been around for a while she's on the on the market podcast on Bigger Pockets and so she's constantly doing her market updates every year, she does predictions and has done that for the last 15 years and then at the every quarter, she doesn't investor update and at the end of the year, she puts herself on the line says okay, here's what I predicted back in January. Let's see how accurate I am and yeah, and she's been really good. She's like almost 95% on her predictions, which is awesome. So I just listened to her. You know, she's always interviewing experts and she's connected with like John Chang from Marcus and Millichap and so many just, you know, experts, as I said, with Kiyosaki and all that. So what she's saying I'll just speak, you know, because I get to hear through her office door when she's doing all her interviews and everything she think He said interest rates are not going to go up that much more, maybe even dip a tiny bit for mortgages, and then maybe level off.   But even though the Feds gonna keep raising the rate, the lender and great mortgage rates can't kind of withstand that going up too much. So she thinks mortgage rates are going to hold around where they are and then there's such a glut in such a need for properties and not enough inventory. It's like a whole different world than 2008-2009. So yeah, I think we're, it's estimates are between three and 5 million homes shy right now, for housing units. So inventory still low and also, there's that whole thing where people are locked into these amazing interest rates, so they don't want to sell. So they just, it doesn't make sense to sell something and when you got a 3% mortgage or lower and go into a higher mortgage, so the real estate is gonna hold strong is what she's predicting, it's even going to increase a little bit rents are even going to increase a little bit surprisingly, even with, with the economy and inflation, rents are still gonna go up a little bit, that's her prediction and then a recession will hit well, most likely, sometime around late 2023, early 2024 but it will be a mild one, just kind of more of a correction that that's needed.   Michael: Okay. Okay and does either her or you think that there will be any kind of pullback in demand as folks go back into the office or are we going to be seeing remote work kind of indefinitely, which I think was a big driver of that single family rental demand?   Rich: Yeah, that's a big one. Yeah and the cool thing is like, we have teams that are like the boots on the ground. So there's different 15 different property teams in our company that find properties and so and we just did a mastermind with them in Tampa, Florida and we spent two days and we really talked about all this exact same stuff. So it's, it's something around not like a big hit on it. There still will be some availability, but not much different than if you look at today's current market right now is not going to be a lot different than that over the next year and a half.   Michael: So for instance, we don't expect there to be much pullback in terms of demand. Dude, because we're expecting people to continue remote working basically…   Rich: There's definitely a return to the office. There's there are definitely companies that are saying no, it's time to come back now that we want to look over your shoulder, we want to hold you accountable and all that stuff. It's so funny, because it's like the surfing lineups are getting a little bit lighter thinning. So funny. Go Oh, it's like why are so many people surfing? Oh, they're supposed to be orange. They think they're working. Their bosses think they're at work right now. Yeah. So I'm seeing a pullback there. So that's my gauge.   Michael: So funny.   Rich: Yeah, but not as much. There's definitely, with so many people how they've learned to use Zoom and GoTo Meeting and being remote and all that stuff. It's we're in a new world, there's no doubt about it. So I think there's going to be a slight pullback on buyers and transactions and all that. As far as the rate, but it's still not going to it's not going to drop to like dismal levels.   Michael: Okay, sweet. Well, we will definitely have to stay in touch and see how you do how you and your wife do on those percentages. Rich, this has been so much fun, man. Thank you again, if people want to learn more about you want to learn more about real wealth, where can they do that?   Rich: For the book? Like I said, it's on Amazon or if people want to learn more, before they buy it, just go to https://realwealth.com/the-wise-investor-book/  and then our website is just simple, real wealth: https://realwealth.com/   Michael: Perfect. Alright, thank you again and I'm sure we'll be chatting soon.   Rich: All right, man. Thank you, it was fun.   Michael: All right, everyone a big thank you to Rich for coming on. Super, super insightful. I know I learned a ton as a coach myself in what to look for in a coach and mentor going forward as well. So as always, thank you so much for listening, and we look forward to seeing the next one. Happy investing…

Two weeks ago, Sunrise DC—a chapter of the climate action group Sunrise Movement—announced it would not participate in a voting rights rally because of the involvement of Zionist organizations, specifically naming three Jewish groups: the Jewish Council on Public Affairs, the National Council of Jewish Women, and the Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism. This decision prompted immediate backlash and provoked a heated discussion: Some critics accused Sunrise of antisemitism for singling out Jewish groups without remarking on the Israel politics of non-Jewish groups associated with the rally, while others argued that the move was not antisemitic but simply unstrategic. Five days later, Sunrise DC put out a new statement apologizing for having “fueled antisemitism,” while also reaffirming a commitment to anti-Zionism and Palestine solidarity. In this episode, editor-in-chief Arielle Angel, culture editor Ari M. Brostoff, assistant editor Mari Cohen, and Jewish Currents fellow Dylan Saba discuss the questions this incident raises about the politics of anti-normalization, the Jewish left's role in Palestine solidarity, and movement strategy more broadly.

Satanism vs. Insanity: The Case of Nathan Brooks

Unpopular Culture

On Sept. 30th, 1995 in Bellaire, Ohio -- 16 yr old Ryan Brooks was staying over at his friend Erik's house. Like most teenagers, Ryan and Erik were up late hanging out. Ryan was out so late that he decided to check in with his parents. Ryan calls home at approximately 1:30 AM and his older brother Nathan answers the phone. “Tell mom and dad that I'm staying with Erik tonight." His older brother Nathan responds: “No, I think mom and dad want you home." Believing that his parents want him to come home, Ryan only stays out for an hour or so longer before having Erik drive him back. It was a decision that probably saved his life. When Ryan came home, he walked into a scene that undoubtedly scarred him for the rest of his life. His parents had been murdered.  His mother, Marilyn, had been stabbed and mutilated with both an axe and a knife. His father, Terry, was shot in the head three times with a hunting rifle. His head was cut off with a hacksaw and placed in a punch bowl in the kitchen while his body still lay in his bed where he had been sleeping. Ryan's older brother Nathan had lied to him. His parents hadn't asked him to come home. Nathan had wanted him to come home so he could murder him along with the rest of the family. Even more, Nathan had created a kill list, and at the top of that list was Ryan. After Nathan killed his parents, he covered the house with satanic emblems and pentagrams. Many believed that Nathan had killed his parents as part of a satanic ritual, and had fallen into the dark world of Satanic Practice. But Nathan and his lawyers plead insanity, insinuating that Nathan was not in his right mind when he killed his parents and had not meant to kill them. Nathan claimed the murders were not premeditated. Was this a case of an impressionable teen falling into satanic ritualism? Or did something happen that night to mentally compromise Nathan's sanity?

You finally arrive home after the long evening and pull the front door of your house open and see your dad sitting in a chair, well part of him... Actually his head has been decapitated and placed in a bowl of punch which is sitting in the chair. This is what Ryan Brooks stumbled upon during the autumn season in Bellaire Ohio back in 1985. The gruesome act was the tipping point in a series of disturbing events that would lead to a small town canceling Halloween due to fears of a conspiracy that a cult of devil worshipping satanic maniacs were attempting to hunt them down. No one was safe, no one knew who the next target might be.

In the final installment of Colby’s anniversary series, Jeff and Lord Chandler sit down with local brewing legends Ryan Brooks, founder/brewmaster of SouthNorte Beer Co., and Jim Millea, head brewer at OB Brewery. These local brewing legends chat about the early homebrewing days that brought them together, their love of Baja, and share a story of the day how they almost died for beer... we’re not joking. Both Ryan and Jim talk about their connection to brewing in Mexico and discuss “business-as-unusual" in the days of COVID-19. Ryan Brooks: Ryan Brooks is the founder/brewmaster of SouthNorte Beer Co. He’s an internationally recognized beer judge and certified Cicerone. Brooks, formerly a touring metal drummer and award-winning homebrewer, worked at Malt Shovel Brewing Co. (Australia) and Black Market Brewing (Temecula) before starting at Coronado Brewing Co. in 2012. Eventually he worked his way up to brewmaster at Coronado. Under Brooks' leadership, Coronado won the extremely prestigious 2014 World Beer Cup Champion Mid-Size Brewery award. In 2017 Brooks founded SouthNorte at crossroads of Tijuana and San Diego bridging flavors of Mexico the San Diego craft. Jim Millea: Jim Millea is Head Brewer at OB Brewery in San Diego, CA and co-owner and brewer at Cerveceria El Destino in Valle de Guadelupe, Baja California, Mexico. Jim has been brewing professionally since 2014 when he was hired as assistant brewer at O'Sullivan Brothers Brewing Company. Before this, Jim was an avid home brewer and completed internships at Benchmark Brewing Company and Ballast Point Brewing Company. During his homebrewing days, Jim became a recognized beer judge through the Beer Judge Certification Program (BJCP) run by local San Diego homebrew club QUAFF (Quality Ale and Fermentation Fraternity). In 2015, Jim graduated from UCSD's Professional Certificate in Brewing Program. Originally from Massachusetts, Jim has been living in San Diego since 2000 and in Ocean Beach since 2008 where he currently resides. Since helping to build-out and now run OB Brewery, Jim has received several awards for his beers including bronze medals for both the Elevator Red IPA and Rooftop Saison at the 2018 San Diego International Beer Festival. At the Great American Beer Festival (GABF), Jim received a silver medal in 2017 for the Hidden Gem Dunkelweizen and a gold medal in 2018 for the B.Right.On Pale Ale. The 2018 gold medal win at GABF also scored Jim and OB Brewery the Small Brewpub Brewery and Small Brewpub Brewery of the year award.

This week, we’re going to talk about small business, and we’re going to talk about it from two sides: the nation-wide trends on how entrepreneurs are trying to survive the pandemic, and a unique local example from a small business owner who has loudly and publicly asked for more help as we’re entering this important recovery phase of the crisis. How's business? It's complicated.   If you’re an entrepreneur running your own small business, and especially if that business depends on the regular traffic into a bricks and mortar storefront, these are very tough times. Three quarters of all small businesses in Canada have been forced to carry some kind of debt because of COVID-19, and according to the Canadian Federation of Independent Business (CFIB), that debt now sits at $117 billion altogether. How are small businesses going to overcome this and other challenges?   We're going to get help answering that from two people this week. First, we will focus on the big picture with Ryan Mallough, the Ontario Director of Provincial Affairs for the CFIB. Mallough will talk about the worst case scenario for small business, the potential for a “second wave” of business closures in the fall as certain government measures expire, and the best ways that small businesses can overcome COVID challenges, especially in the digital realm.   After that, we will hear from Ryan Brooks, who is the CEO and founder of Ctrl V, a virtual reality arcade with nearly 20 different locations across North America. Brooks will talk about why he sent out an email to Ctrl V customers about getting more Federal and Provincial government action to support small businesses, and what those governments have done so far that’s been both helpful and unhelpful. Brooks will also talk about the effects of the pandemic on his own small business, and what factors will make or break some of the various Ctrl V franchises.   So let's talk about the challenges of small business, and the possible solutions, on this week's Guelph Politicast!   To learn more about the Canadian Federation of Independent Business click here, and to learn more about Ctrl V click here.

Die Offseason neigt sich dem Ende zu und die Preseason beginnt. Bei basketball.de ist weiterhin Podseason! Simon Linder diskutiert in der zehnten Folge mit Lukas Feldhaus und Jonathan Schmidt über die weiteren Transfers der letzten Woche. Simons Ludwigsburger haben sich gleich zweimal verstärkt und unter anderem Kerron Johnson zum dritten Mal nach Schwaben gelockt. Außerdem verliert das Patrick-Team einen hoch gehandelten Neuzugang durch eine Verletzung. Die WALTER Tigers Tübingen haben mit Ryan Brooks und die BG Göttingen mit Paul Watson ihre Kader vervollständigt. Die Meinungen wo die beiden Teams am Ende landen sind durchaus verschieden. Nichts zu hören ist quasi weiterhin von den Skyliners, doch Lukas hat sich das Frankfurter Facebook Live angesehen und kennt ihre Pläne. In Würzburg kommt vielleicht noch Andrej Mangold ins Team und wir blicken schon mal auf die Qualifikation für den Europe Cup. Während die BBL-Teams das Training aufnehmen ist die Nationalmannschaft schon in der heißen Phase zur EM. Ein kurzer Blick auf die bisherige Vorbereitung und ein echtes Statement von Simon zur Personalie Dennis Schröder.

A native of Philadelphia who grew up a Villanova fan, Ronald Moore has gone from under-recruited high school point guard to NCAA tournament hero to established overseas professional in 10 years. A two-time participant in TBT, Moore, along with former Siena College teammates Kenny Hasbrouck, Ryan Rossiter, and OD Anosike, is now looking to add TBT Champion to his ever-growing resume. With a squad that will feature former Sixer and NBA veteran John Salmons (Moore’s cousin), former St. Joe’s stars CJ Aiken and Garrett Williamson, as well as Temple standout Ryan Brooks, Moore and the Liberty Ballers look like a good bet to improve upon last year’s run to the round of 16, even in a loaded Northeast Region. With the support of the Liberty Ballers 76ers-focused blog and a legion of friends and family from the Philadelphia-area, Moore’s Liberty Ballers are sure to draw attention both online and on-site when TBT opens up play at Philadelphia University on July 9th and 10th.
