Because of increased regulations that have resulted in tighter lending standards, banks aren't making a lot of smaller loans against properties that aren't stabilized. This has created a sizeable gap in the market for “Micro balance” short-term bridge loans to operators borrowing $200,000 - $1,500,000 with value-add business plans, especially in secondary and tertiary markets.

You set a goal to work out three times a week. But after a few weeks of hitting maybe one or two sessions, you decide the answer is to raise the goal to five workouts a week. Sound familiar?In this episode, Coach JK breaks down what he calls the 'goal-setting paradox' the common behavior of setting even bigger goals after falling short of more realistic ones. He shares the concept of False Hope Syndrome, a cycle of overcommitting, underdelivering, and then repeating it with even higher expectations.JK explains how this cycle erodes self-trust, why it shows up even in experienced lifters, and how to break free from the "just try harder" mindset. You'll hear research-backed insights from psychologists Polivy and Herman, plus actionable strategies to shift from inflated goals to habits that actually stick.Want free weekly workouts and behind-the-scenes programming notes from Coach JK?

The Hidden 401(k) Costs You've Never Heard Of – And What To Do About Them

Retirement Revealed

Forensic consultant Paul Sippil explains little-known costs for business owners and plan participants and what you can do about them. When it comes to retirement planning, one of the most overlooked areas is the cost hiding within your 401(k) plan. I sat down with Paul Sippil, a forensic 401(k) consultant, in this week's episode of the Retirement Revealed podcast. For the last 20 years, Paul has been helping employers and plan participants understand the full picture of what a 401(k) really costs–and most importantly, what you can do about it. What we revealed may surprise you: many of the fees you could be paying are seemingly invisible, unspoken, and quietly leaving your retirement savings. Your 401(k) Isn't "Free" One of the most common phrases Paul hears when talking with business owners and plan participants is: “I'm not paying anything.” And technically, they're not—at least not directly. That's because 401(k) fees often don't show up on an invoice. Instead, they're extracted from participant accounts through asset-based fees, commissions, and revenue sharing agreements that most people never even notice. Here's the reality: if you're in a 401(k), especially with a small to mid-sized employer, you could be overpaying. And no one may be telling you. The Bigger the Balance, the Bigger the Fee Many 401(k) service providers charge asset-based fees, meaning the more money you have in the plan, the more you pay—even if the services don't change. That fee structure hits high-balance employees (often business owners or long-time participants) the hardest. For example, if your plan has $3 million in assets and your advisor is receiving 0.75% annually, that's $22,500 per year in compensation—whether or not they're actively helping you. Would you pay that if you received an invoice in the mail? However, when the fee is simply deducted from your account through share class expense ratios or revenue sharing, many people never realize it. Small Plans, Big Problems If you work at or own a small business with under 100 employees, your per-participant fees are likely much higher than those in larger plans. According to the U.S. Department of Labor, large plans (those with over $100 million) can be up to 50% cheaper in relative costs. Smaller plans are often stuck with higher costs and less transparency. How to Spot the Hidden Fees Finding these costs isn't easy, but there are tools: Form 5500: This publicly available tax form (found at www.efast.dol.gov) details plan costs and fund options for plans with over 100 participants. Review Share Classes: Funds come in multiple share classes. Some, like “R2,” may carry hefty embedded commissions. Ask your provider if lower-cost versions like “R6” are available. Watch for “Revenue Sharing”: This outdated and opaque compensation method allows brokers and recordkeepers to collect fees without ever issuing a bill. Why Transparency Matters Paul made an interesting point: if employers were required to write a check for 401(k) services as opposed to having the fees quietly and automatically withdrawn, he believes the plan-holders and business owners would actually negotiate those fees, thus resulting in lowered costs. But the industry thrives on invisibility—making it hard for both employers and employees to question or benchmark what they're paying. That's why we suggest a simple test: If your financial advisor can't clearly explain what they're being paid and what you're getting in return, it's time to ask better questions and evaluate your options. Self-Directed Brokerage Accounts (SDBA) If your current 401(k) doesn't offer the investment options you want, ask your employer about adding a Self-Directed Brokerage Account. This feature allows you to invest in a wider range of funds—including ETFs and commodities—that may not be available in your default menu. Not every provider offers this, but it's worth requesting.

The episode emphasizes that visibility requires purposeful posting, not just increased quantity; creators often feel invisible despite frequent posting due to ineffective strategies.Host Karena Calhoun experienced a breakthrough by realizing engagement and the right messaging were key after feeling overlooked in her content journey.A three-part Visibility Formula is introduced: Positioning (clarity in messaging), Engagement-Based Content (conversational posts), and Consistency Over Volume (focus on quality with 3-4 impactful posts).Positioning example illustrates specific messaging: 'I teach introverted entrepreneurs how to attract online clients without feeling drained' shows the power of niche targeting.Three myths are debunked: 1) Daily posting isn't essential for relevance; 2) Algorithms reward engagement, not mere presence; 3) Smaller followings can yield higher sales.Engagement is a two-way street; creators must initiate interaction to boost visibility and solve low engagement problems.Understanding the audience is crucial; creators should actively analyze DMs, comments, and competitors to better meet follower needs.The podcast stresses the importance of being visible on preferred platforms where the audience is most active, enhancing genuine engagement.Lastly, visibility requires smarter strategies rather than just harder work; immediate fixes are attainable for creators facing visibility challenges.

Small and mid-sized government contractors are quietly using AI to erase the advantage the big primes have long enjoyed. Budgets are tight, recompetes are fierce, and many large incumbents are still dabbling with AI pilot projects. Meanwhile, leaner firms that go “all in” on AI are winning bids by pricing sharper, forecasting resources better, and delivering results faster.One example is Saalex Corporation. CEO Travis Mack says his team already routes about 10 percent of business processes through an enterprise AI management system and plans to hit 50 percent by the end of 2026. Early gains include real-time contract analytics, quicker program decisions, and lower overhead - exactly the edge mid-tiers need to out-maneuver larger rivals still experimenting on the sidelines.

Eric Kronberg — Principal at Kronberg Urbanists + Architects — is in good traffic this week to talk about the mechanics of building better neighborhoods. Are family units have gotten smaller, while our home sizes have gotten larger. This means less supply, and less opportunity to build more.

In this encore presentation of Down the Garden Path, Joanne discusses some of the issues you may be experiencing with your hydrangeas this month and what you can do about them. Topics covered in this week's episode: Hydrangeas not blooming? Knowing what variety of hydrangea you have is the first step In Joanne's experience, if you have a nice large green bush but no or few flowers then you have a Macrophylla variety They bloom on old wood that is unfortunately susceptible to late spring frost damage The buds form on the old wood in early spring, and then a late frost comes and kills the buds The plant still grows nice and lush and you don't know anything is wrong until it doesn't flower. Extra water and fertilizer provide a nice full-leaved plant, but no blooms I have tried all the techniques to try and prevent this and protect the plant, but I gave up and replaced it with a hardier variety If you are in an area where you often get a late frost after a nice warm-up, then consider swapping to another variety Hydrangeas discussed: Macrophylla Paniculata Quercifolia Serrata Arborescence Which hydrangeas grow on old or new wood Hydrangeas getting too large/floppy? Preferred pruning practices  Smaller variety recommendations of each type to have a hydrangea that stays smaller: Munchkin Oakleaf Hydrangea Invincibelle Wee White Hydrangea Invincibelle Limetta Little Lime or Bobo Hydrangeas All are a great way to have more hydrangeas in a smaller space Related Episodes/Resources Mentioned in the Show: Tips To Extend The Blooming Season Of Your Endless Summer Hydrangea Hydrangeas Hydrangeas Part One Hydrangeas Part Two BLOG POST -- Hydrangeas: When They Don't Work And What You Can Do About It Are you a landscape or gardening expert?

In this Season 10 finale of The Remarkable Retail Podcast, Steve interviews Vuori CEO & Founder Joe Kudla live on-stage during the closing keynote of the CommerceNext Growth Show in New York. Steve and Michael also are on-stage for a session gleaning the top retail trends of the year so far and set the stage for what's most important to focus on the balance of the year.Instead of covering the week's headlines, Michael and Steve zoom out to examine the trends that have defined the year thus far. Tariff turbulence remains the dominant storyline, with the July 9th extension deadline looming and limited trade progress made—raising uncertainty about supply chains, pricing, and margins. Retailers are already grappling with rising costs and making difficult decisions about whether to absorb the impact through vendor, consumer, or margin adjustments.They spotlight a troubling acceleration in store closures, forecasting 2025 as a record year for retail contraction, particularly in drugstore and department store categories. Meanwhile, growth continues to concentrate, with Amazon, Walmart, and Costco accounting for over half of all incremental retail gains. Smaller out-performers, such as Vuori and Abercrombie, stand out, but the middle is collapsing through a combination of unremarkable business designs and lackluster execution.The hosts also analyze the contrasting fortunes of Walmart's soaring apparel success versus Target's continued slump and reflect on emerging disruption from agentic AI—potentially reshaping how consumers search, shop, and connect with brands. With luxury contraction predicted for the first time in 15 years and labor dynamics in flux, retailers face a complex and volatile landscape.Then, it's over to an on-stage interview with Vuori CEO & Founder Joe Kudla, who joins Steve live for the closing keynote at the CommerceNext Growth Show in New York City for a candid and inspirational conversation about scaling a lifestyle brand with purpose. Joe shares how Vuori—rooted in the beachside town of Encinitas, California—pivoted from a near-collapse to a $5.5 billion valuation last year, thanks to an obsessive focus on product quality, fabric innovation, and deep community connection.Kudla walks listeners through Vuori's growth strategy: starting with DTC success, expanding to wholesale, and now operating over 80 physical stores—each serving as a local brand hub. He discusses how in-person retail drives stronger omni-channel customers and why authenticity in influencer partnerships is more important than ever in a crowded media landscape.As Vuori expands globally with new stores in London, Shanghai, and Seoul, Joe remains grounded in his role as the brand's chief product evangelist and men's fit model. His leadership lesson? Stay vulnerable, stay curious, and always lead with great products. About UsSteve Dennis is a strategic advisor and keynote speaker focused on growth and innovation, who has also been named one of the world's top retail influencers.

The episode emphasizes the importance of enhancing key leadership skills and communication to drive successful outcomes. Sean discusses assessing organizational priorities, ensuring a clear understanding across all levels.

Smaller, more frequent strategy sessions can sustain energy, provide opportunities for course correction, and ensure consistent communication within the organization.

Michael Ware, with Institutional Property Advisors in Dallas, shares critical information in making smart apartment investing decisions. Michael believes that Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW) remains a top-performing multifamily market due to strong population and job growth. DFW multifamily trade volume has rebounded from $5 billion in 2023 to an expected $8–10 billion in 2024, to even higher in 2025 thus signaling recovery. Institutional capital is re-entering the market, focusing on Class A properties. Some of the challenges he saw were operational headwinds including oversupply, elevated concessions, and difficulties raising equity for deals over $10 million and workforce housing facing higher delinquency rates and vacancy issues, compounded by tenant-friendly eviction policies. Today, opportunities for institutional buyers are with Class A properties in prime locations, while B and C properties are offering better yields for private investors. Rent growth is expected to accelerate in 2025–2026 due to undersupply and affordability challenges in single-family housing. He offered advice to buyers: Smaller operators should focus on organization, transparency, and demonstrating financial readiness to compete with larger institutions, and well-located 1980s workforce housing offers strong potential for yield and long-term growth.

Today, I'm taking you through one of the most fundamental marketing principles that never goes out of style—getting hyper-specific with the problems you're solving in your business. When business isn't quite popping off like we envisioned, it's time to go back to basics, and this is where so many entrepreneurs get it wrong. Our brains try to convince us that bigger, broader problems will attract more clients, but the truth is that offers fail to convert when they're too vague or general. People don't pay for nice-sounding concepts like "helping creatives grow their business"—they pay to have real, down-to-earth problems solved.I break down what makes a problem truly hyper-specific and why it matters so much for your business success. I also share real examples from my own clients, including one who's tackling fear around raising prices and another helping newly diagnosed ADHD individuals find their ground, showing you exactly how pinpointing these issues can transform your messaging and results.This episode includes practical before-and-after examples that demonstrate the power of precise messaging, from transforming "I help women build businesses they love" into something that actually speaks to a specific audience with a tangible problem and solution. So, join me as we uncover how to help your hyper-specific ideal client solve their hyper-specific problem – with that magic, hyper-specific solution!Connect with Ellie: Apply for the Swiftmind Scaled Mastermind (the ONLY chance to be coached by me in 2025): https://ellieswift.com/mastermind Website:         https://www.ellieswift.com/Instagram:     @elliehswiftFacebook Group:     www.facebook.com/groups/shineonsocialellieswift/

He also talks about the challenges of convincing the attorneys you want to hire that your national law firm is committed to their hometown. "When the people are looking to move, they really want to understand the firm that you are," Doogal said.

In “Beyond LTL & Truckload: The Expedite All Approach to Smaller Truck Solutions”, Joe Lynch and Mike Ernst, the President of Expedite All, discuss how specialized small truck solutions, spearheaded by networks like Expedite All, deliver efficient, on-demand transportation for time-critical shipments, leveraging cargo vans, box trucks, and straight trucks to bypass the limitations of traditional LTL and Truckload. About Mike Ernst Mike Ernst, President of Expedite All, brings over 25 years of experience in the logistics industry to the company.

At Expedite All, he focuses on optimizing operations while ensuring safety and compliance.

Key Takeaways: Beyond LTL & Truckload: The Expedite All Approach to Smaller Truck Solutions In “Beyond LTL & Truckload: The Expedite All Approach to Smaller Truck Solutions”, Joe Lynch and Mike Ernst, the President of Expedite All, discuss how specialized small truck solutions provide efficient, on-demand transportation for time-critical shipments. The Emergence of Small Truck Solutions (STS) as a Distinct Mode: Beyond traditional LTL and Truckload, the podcast highlights the growing necessity and strategic importance of "smaller truck solutions" (cargo vans, box trucks, straight trucks) as a unique and vital transportation category. Optimizing Shipments for Speed, Cost, and Sustainability: Utilizing smaller trucks like cargo vans, box trucks, and straight trucks offers significant advantages over LTL, including lower costs, faster transit times, increased sustainability, and reduced freight damage due to less handling and stacking. Meeting the Demands of Modern Supply Chains: The shift by retailers and ecommerce companies to carry less inventory and position it closer to customers for same-day and next-day delivery makes smaller truck solutions the ideal choice for efficient, agile inventory movement. Flexibility and Reliability Beyond LTL's Constraints: While LTL serves many needs, smaller truck solutions provide unparalleled flexibility, speed, and security for freight that requires less handling, direct delivery, and adaptable pickup/delivery schedules. This includes temperature-controlled goods, further supported by specialized networks like Reefer Van Network. Expedite All's Specialized Network for Critical Freight: Expedite All, as America's Largest Small Truck Network, specializes in rapid, on-demand ground transportation for time-sensitive and specialized freight, leveraging an extensive network of over 9,000 vetted cargo vans, box trucks, and straight trucks.
