A sensational number from Post Malone. A$AP Rocky's critically acclaimed crowd pleaser. And an unexpected hit from Kevin Hart. What may sound like a Spotify playlist is actually a trio of brands built and marketed by Global Brand Equities. Founded in 2019 by Irish expat James Morrissey, Global Brand Equities is focused on developing innovative and creator-led beverage alcohol brands. Morrissey's vision is to meet modern consumers where they live and drink via a contemporary approach to alcoholic beverages, one that lives at the intersection of media, entertainment and premium experiences. Global Brand Equities has aligned with the aforementioned Malone, Rocky and Hart to launch fast-growing brands Maison No 9 French Rosé, Mercer + Prince Canadian Whisky and Gran Coramino Tequila, respectively. The company also markets Sunny Vodka, a premium spirit co-founded by social media influencers Zack Bia and Stas Karanikolaou. In this episode, Morrissey spoke about how his prior experience in hospitality has shaped his perspective on novel consumer brands, the foundations for mutually beneficial celebrity partnerships, why it is critical to understand and operate within the traditional infrastructure for producing and distributing beverage alcohol brands and the effectiveness of its multi-pronged marketing strategy. Show notes: 0:46: Interview: James Morrissey, Founder, Global Brand Equities – Taste Radio editor Ray Latif met with Morrissey at Global Brand Equities' office in the Soho neighborhood of Manhattan where they riffed on the entrepreneur's familiar name and discussed how his background as a club and nightlife promoter in Ireland led him to New York City. He also explained his belief that the beverage alcohol industry had lacked an authentic connection to modern consumers and lacked the type of desirable innovation seen in other industries, why he saw the rosé wine category as ripe for a consumer-facing brand and how he first met and cultivated a relationship with Post Malone. Later, he explained how, despite a crowded space for celebrity-backed liquor brands, he saw opportunities to innovate in the categories of Canadian whiskey and premium tequila and why A$AP Rocky and Kevin Hart were the ideal partners for each, and why moving at “the speed of culture” is key to Global Brand Equities' marketing strategy. Brands in this episode: Maison No 9 French Rosé, Mercer + Prince Canadian Whisky, Gran Coramino Tequila, Sunny Vodka, Casamigos, Teramana Tequila
The DWSC team are back in Hannah's flat, sipping some drinks while solving a crime or two, and were delighted to be joined in their endeavours by the hilarious comedian, Ria Lina!Ria came armed with some sharp detective skills and a crime story in which redemption (of sorts) was let in through the back door and then marched straight back out again!The gang then set about solving a crime which perhaps inspired Meatloaf to declare that he 'would do anything for love, but I won't do that' ... to be fair I don't think any of us would do THAT...Lastly, we hear from a listener who is still smarting over an art attack which may (or may not) have been finally solved.Next live zoom for Patreons, 22nd May 2023, - patreon.com/drunkwomensolvingcrimeThe Drunk Women are LIVE in 2023, at their London Residency in , May, June, July and September at 21 Soho - for full details go to 21Soho (21-soho.com)AND at this year's Edinburgh Fringe from 4th - 13th August 2023 - Drunk Women Solving Crime | Comedy | Edinburgh Festival Fringe (edfringe.com) Hosted on Acast.

If Expo West and Whole Foods had a baby, it might look something like Pop Up Grocer. A non-traditional retailer in which brand discovery, not sales, is paramount, Pop Up Grocer is the brainchild of veteran CPG marketing executive Emily Schildt. Founded in 2019, the company has built nine limited-run stores in cities across the U.S., each designed to showcase trendy natural and organic brands, particularly those with limited retail distribution or sold primarily direct-to-consumer. In March, Pop Up Grocer opened its first permanent location in New York City's Soho neighborhood. The flagship store features a selection of 130 emerging brands that will be rotated on a quarterly basis. The shop also serves as a homebase for Pop Up Grocer, which will continue to open new short-term stores. In this episode, Schildt spoke about the inspiration behind Pop Up Grocer, its role as an “influencer retailer” and advertiser-first business model, how the company evaluates brand performance and why you might be surprised by its curation strategy. Show notes: 0:44: Emily Schildt, Founder & CEO, Pop-Up Grocer – Taste Radio editor Ray Latif met with Schildt at Pop Up Grocer in Manhattan where she spoke about her work-life balance (or lack thereof) in the weeks leading up to the store's opening, how her experience at Chobani provided her with a foundation for a career in CPG and how consulting with early-stage entrepreneurs gave way to the lightbulb moment for a pop up retail concept. She also discussed how Pop Up Grocer's first store proved her thesis about a lack of retail opportunity for small and emerging brands, why she describes the stores as “showcases, first and foremost,” how the company tracks consumer engagement and the selection criteria for adding brands to its shelves. Later, she explained Pop Up Grocer's influence on major chain retail buyers, how she views and incorporates trends into its business strategy, the retailer's aesthetic and target consumer, and plans for new short-term and permanent locations. Brands in this episode: Chobani, Lavva, Kind Snacks

Without the film After Hours, we wouldn't have many of Martin Scorsese's finer work. He was so frustrated about the delays in making The Last Temptation of Christ that he said that he was going to quick the filmmaking business altogether. Thankfully this film with it's quick filming schedule and on set vibe, he choose to keep making films. Whew! Thanks to the cast and crew of this film. The 1985 film stars Griffin Duane, Rosanna Arquette, Verna Bloom, Linda Florentino and Teri Garr. It is set in Manhattan over the course of one evening. Dunne plays an lowly word processor that has a difficult night after agreeing to meet a girl in SoHo but his night doesn't go as planned.

Barry and Julia take a death cab to SOHO, hang out a little too long with Rosanna Arquette and get pursued by an angry mob as they discuss Martin Scorsese's "After Hours" (1985). This is Barry's #2 favorite Scorsese film (yes, he owns up to the others), while Julia is NOT a fan. In fact, she's every bit as frustrated and outraged as Griffin Dunne becomes over the course of the movie. Also, Julia admits that this is her first Cheech and Chong movie, which is kind of sad.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: First clean water, now clean air, published by finm on April 30, 2023 on The Effective Altruism Forum. The excellent report from Rethink Priorities was my main source for this. Many of the substantial points I make are taken from it, though errors are my own. It's worth reading! The authors are Gavriel Kleinwaks, Alastair Fraser-Urquhart, Jam Kraprayoon, and Josh Morrison. Clean water In the mid 19th century, London had a sewage problem. It relied on a patchwork of a few hundred sewers, of brick and wood, and hundreds of thousands of cesspits. The Thames — Londoners' main source of drinking water — was near-opaque with waste. Here is Michael Faraday in an 1855 letter to The Times: Near the bridges the feculence rolled up in clouds so dense that they were visible at the surface even in water of this kind [.] The smell was very bad, and common to the whole of the water. It was the same as that which now comes up from the gully holes in the streets. The whole river was for the time a real sewer [.] If we neglect this subject, we cannot expect to do so with impunity; nor ought we to be surprised if, ere many years are over, a season give us sad proof of the folly of our carelessness. That “sad proof” arrived more than once. London saw around three outbreaks of cholera, killing upwards of 50,000 people in each outbreak. But early efforts to address the public health crisis were guided by the wrong theory about how diseases spread. On the prevailing view, epidemics were caused by ‘miasma' (bad air) — a kind of poisonous mist from decomposing matter. Parliament commissioned a report on the ‘Sanitary Condition of the Labouring Population', which showed a clear link between poverty and disease, and recommended a bunch of excellent and historically significant reforms. But one recommendation backfired because of this scientific misunderstanding: according to the miasma theory, it made sense to remove human waste through wastewater — but that water flowed into the Thames and contaminated it further. But in one of these outbreaks, the physician John Snow has spotted how incidence of cholera clustered around a single water pump in Soho, suggesting that unclean water was the major source of the outbreak. A few years later, the experiments of Louis Pasteur helped foster the germ theory of disease, sharpening the understanding of how and why to treat drinking water for public health. These were well-timed discoveries Because soon things got even worse. Heat exacerbated the smell; and the summer of 1858 was unusually hot. 1858 was the year of London's ‘Great Stink', and the Thames “a Stygian pool, reeking with ineffable and intolerable horrors” in Prime Minister Disraeli's words. The problem had become totally unignorable. Parliament turned to Joseph Bazalgette, chief engineer of London's Metropolitan Board of Works. Spurred by the Great Stink, he was given licence to oversee the construction of an ambitious plan to rebuild London's sewage system, to his own design. 1,800km of street sewers would feed into 132km of main interconnecting sewers. A network of pumping stations was built, to lift sewage from streets below the high water mark. 18 years later, the result was the kind of modern sewage system we mostly take for granted: a system to collect wastewater and dump it far from where it could contaminate food and drinking water; in this case a dozen miles eastwards to the Thames estuary. "The great sewer that runs beneath Londoners”, wrote Bazalgette's obituarist, “has added some 20 years to their chance of life”. Remarkably, most of the system remains in use. London's sewage system has obviously been expanded, and wastewater treatment is much better. Bazalgette's plan was built to last, and succeeded. As London built ways of expelling wastewater, it also built ways of channelling c...

From Jeremy Dyson & Andy Nyman, creators of the international smash-hit play and film Ghost Stories, comes a new novel: The Warlock Effect. Meet Louis Warlock. Man about town, denizen of Soho's nightclubs and cabaret bars - and the most skilled magician of his time... As a boy, Ludvik Weinschenk fled Nazi Germany to England with a pack of playing cards and three tricks to his name. Twelve years later, in 1950s London, having risen through the ranks of concert parties, night clubs and variety theatres, Ludvik - or Louis Warlock as he is now known - is the most famous magician in Britain. But after his talent for deception attracts the attention of the British secret service, Louis is thrown into the perilous world of espionage and finds himself sent across Europe with a dangerous mission to fulfil. When he comes face to face with a nemesis whose cunning rivals his own, Louis will need to use every trick in the book - or risk the most terrible consequences, both for the country and for himself. A highly entertaining, fiendishly clever thriller, The Warlock Effect offers a twist-filled, rollicking adventure - and a glimpse into the phenomenal mind of an extraordinary magician.

Jurandir Filho, Thiago Siqueira, Rogério Montanare e Fernanda Schmölz batem um papo divertido sobre 30 filmes que, apesar de serem considerados bons pela crítica e pelo público, acabaram fracassando nas bilheterias do cinema. Esses filmes podem ser vistos como verdadeiros tesouros escondidos que muitas vezes passam despercebidos pelo grande público, mas que merecem ser descobertos. Outros são grandes clássicos do cinema que acabaram ficando famosos por causa das exibições na TV ou por causa do home vídeo (VHS/DVD). Esses filmes, entre outros, são exemplos de como a bilheteria não é necessariamente o indicador definitivo de qualidade de um filme. Muitas vezes, um filme pode não fazer sucesso comercialmente, mas ainda assim ser uma obra de arte que merece ser vista e apreciada. Por isso, é importante dar uma chance a filmes que não tiveram sucesso nas bilheterias e descobrir esses tesouros escondidos que podem surpreender e encantar.

Check it out below: 00:00:00:07 - 00:00:49:06 Chris Okada If you're meeting the market. If rents, for example, were $10,000 a month for for a 1500 square foot just regular office space, and today they're at 7000 or it's a 30% drop. You got to you got to be able to meet what the tenant wants with a 30% discount. You got to have it designed the way they want it now because of work from home and because of co-working and all that stuff, when if they're going to leave their couch, if they're going to leave their living room, if you're going to leave your beautiful podcast room. What can I as a landlord offer you that would be equivalent to that? 00:00:49:06 - 00:01:12:14 Intro Welcome to the How To Scale Commercial Real Estate Show. Whether you are an active or passive investor, we'll teach you how to scale your real estate investing business into something big. Sam Wilson Chris Okada is a prolific dealmaker, entrepreneur and CEO of Okada and Company, a multifaceted commercial real estate development management and brokerage firm based in New York City. Chris, welcome to the show. 00:01:13:25 - 00:01:17:12 Chris Okada Thank you, Sam. I'm super excited. Thank you for having me. 00:01:17:13 - 00:01:26:11 Sam Wilson Absolutely. The pleasure's mine. Chris, 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? 00:01:27:23 - 00:02:13:11 Chris Okada Great. Starting with my father here in New York City, my family. This is our 54th year in commercial real estate in Manhattan, 1969. So it's a very different time. My father was very well known, and one of his key highlights was bringing over a Toyota motor company, Honda, Panasonic and Sony, and establishing their on US headquarters here in New York City as a commercial leasing broker representing, you know, the Fortune 500 of the Japanese manufacturers in the in the early stages of globalization in the seventies and eighties before it became what it is today. I started shortly after 911 and 12 and two, and I started as a leasing agent working for my father. And that's pretty much how it all started, you know, just started from the bottom. Now we're here. 00:02:31:27 - 00:02:37:07 Sam Wilson I love it. I absolutely love it. What is it that you focus on primarily today? 00:02:37:25 - 00:03:23:28 Chris Okada Great. So I am a very micro focused sandbox territorial person. That means that we focus on office leasing, investment sales and acquisition and development of properties in the Midtown Manhattan sandbox. Really, I would say from Soho to Rockefeller Center, right in the middle, mostly on the west side of Midtown, in midtown, south of Manhattan. So our portfolio of owned and third party at Avon Ivory is around 50 properties with total square footage about 2.6 2.7 million feet. So we eat, sleep, breathe New York City commercial, retail and New York City office. I would say that's 80%. However, in in markets like this and opportunistic times, we, of course, jump into multifamily and other sort of uses. But all in the sandbox, the midtown, midtown, south. 00:03:51:13 - 00:04:16:07 Sam Wilson I love it. I love it. Yeah. Being micro focused like that certainly allows you, I think probably, as you know, to get to know your investor or your investment profiles really, really well in what you know, what you guys focus on. It sounds like you get to know it intimately, but you do some opportunities that you're kind of seeing in some other maybe asset classes that haven't traditionally been what your core focus is. What do you see? 00:04:16:07 - 00:04:50:09 Chris Okada Yeah. All right. So in a post-pandemic world, we've seen so much sort of defaulting on mortgages, we've seen price prices come down 30 to 50% on on different asset classes. I have not and I was telling you briefly, I have not seen prices like this since 2009. I created a study called From Fear to Fortune Generational Opportunities in New York City Commercial Real Estate. 00:04:50:20 - 00:05:19:12 Chris Okada And it basically is a longitudinal study from 1993 to 2022 and a little bit, you know, a couple of months of 2023. And it basically outlines every decade New York City over the past 30 years and even further our 54 year history here in New York, prices really do come down every single decade, but you're only given two years in Manhattan. 00:05:19:20 - 00:05:50:24 Chris Okada On Manhattan Island, you're given two years where prices come down. And if you're able to acquire them and it really is timing. And, you know, there's two philosophies on now over time, the market or timing is everything. Right? So it's it's it's it's somewhere in there. But over the last 12 months, we've seen some real, real up price decline because of the interest rate environment. 00:05:51:07 - 00:06:30:28 Chris Okada And because of that, I think that people that are able to acquire at these 30, 40, 50% discounted price points, they're going to see some incredible ROI when the market recovers. And New York City, specifically every single decade from the past 100 years, has always rebounded and gotten more expensive than the last cycle. So, you know, the housing and real estate crisis of 2008 was supposed to be the worst crisis since 87 or 89, and if not that, then 1929, right? 00:06:31:06 - 00:07:08:28 Chris Okada So the financial crisis, but we're seeing pricing equivalent to 2009. And I do think that there is risk involved. I think that it is definitely a scary time for a lot of your listeners. If I were to zoom, you know, what about office? Would you jump into a 50% vacant office building work from home? But there's a reason it's priced 30, 40, 50% below 2019 levels, and that's because of that. 00:07:09:23 - 00:07:36:23 Chris Okada And for the very few that are able to jump in and seek, you know, these distressed assets and find a way to make them fully cash flowing at new risk at levels, I believe they're going to do extraordinarily, extraordinarily well this this decade towards when we're in a full recovery mode. So that's essentially the thesis. 00:07:36:28 - 00:07:55:16 Sam Wilson I love it. I love it. There's so many questions that come into that. One of one of the first ones, though, is when you say you've seen price levels reset for that 2008, 2009 time, is that is that an adjusted number based on inflation and other factors? Or is our straight dollar for dollar. 00:07:55:28 - 00:08:17:25 Chris Okada $3 per per square foot dollar? Wow. You know, so everything that I do in my world is on a price per foot because that's the only way I can assess a million square foot building in San Fran and a million square foot building in Dallas. And compare it to here in New York City is on a price per foot. 00:08:19:07 - 00:08:54:22 Chris Okada So looking at the price, the the price over the square foot of the property, we're seeing deals being done at $350 or $400 per square foot. The top was 1000, so or $900 per foot. So really we're seeing some, again, 50% discount. I mean, as a whole, our study shows that the peak of the market was broke, 900 to $950 per square foot in the last cycle in the 20 tens. 00:08:56:17 - 00:09:22:19 Chris Okada And if you're picking up a building, even if you got to do put $100 of putting construction and improvements or whatever it may be to improve it and rent it, and maybe another 50 to $100, if you're all in cost basis, is 40% below the last, you know, the heights of the market. And you have a fully cash flowing, turnkey, fully renovated property. 00:09:22:19 - 00:09:50:04 Chris Okada I believe the bet is that it's going to be a 2 to 3 x multiple by the end of the decade. Sure. And this is really based on on on just data. If New York recovers to anywhere in the 2013 to 2020 levels for pricing and you're buying at three, $400 a foot and it recovers back to five, six, $700, you know, you're doing all right. 00:09:50:04 - 00:10:25:11 Chris Okada If it hits the peaks of eight, $900 a foot and you're all in at 600 and you're at 5050, you know, 5050 on your LTV at two X, it breaks records like it does every single decade in history. The sky's the limit. Of course, it's scary. You know, you're borrowing it eight, nine, 10% money, you know. So interest rates are scary. 00:10:25:11 - 00:10:34:17 Chris Okada Vacancy and cash flow is scary. So there are risks in bonds and you have to sort of have a business plan around that. 00:10:35:19 - 00:11:02:16 Sam Wilson What you're doing, I feel like is is again, it's a it's a very local, I think, thing that you are able to see and capture maybe that the rest of us outside of the New York City markets don't necessarily see. Yes, we've seen, I think, you know, price levels in activity in other asset classes slowed down. I think we're like a 74% year over year decline in multifamily sales was a it was a statistic. 00:11:02:17 - 00:11:03:08 Chris Okada Yeah, we did. 00:11:03:08 - 00:11:17:19 Sam Wilson I had read yesterday we've also seen prices, you know, start to decline on the multifamily sale side. But I don't think we've come anywhere near on a national level from seeing them return to that 2829 pricing value. 00:11:17:21 - 00:11:58:14 Chris Okada Actually, I think inflation, I think multi-family is doing very, very well. It's sort of when you speak to we've probably spoken to 50 private equity real estate funds over the last couple of months. What are you asking them? What they're doing, what they're up to. Everyone wants multifamily, multifamily or fully leased. Industrial is the crown jewel. But then, you know, you're paying 5% yield and, you know, maybe even four or maybe maybe you can get to 6% cap on the capitalization rate, but you're at negative leverage, right? 00:11:58:17 - 00:12:36:07 Chris Okada So we're a contrarian investors. I do think that interest rates will come down. But for anyone and you and you saw there's a portfolio on the sun down in Texas, they had to give back the keys to 450 units. And that was I think that news broke yesterday. So it's not all Sunbelt, all multifamily. Lee is very strong, but for the most part, I do think that if you're cash flowing today and you don't have a refinance coming up in the next 12 to 24 months, you're doing really, really great. 00:12:36:07 - 00:13:02:29 Chris Okada If you if you locked in a ten year like mortgage at three and a half percent, you know, in 21 year you're the best. And it's multifamily. I mean, that at that point, you just, you know, clip coupons. And even if you bought a25 cap, you know, you're 150 basis points above your debt. You know, you can't go wrong. 00:13:03:06 - 00:13:48:01 Chris Okada It's really just the short term money that's causing all this agita, that's causing all the stress. And I think the best part and the best lesson for all of us in commercial real estate and in investing and people that want to grow regardless of where you are, is that you got to love the biz when it's good and you got to love the biz when it keeps you up at night and you know, this market, especially with with the interest rate environment, it really just weeds out people that may not, you know, that are in it just for the money and maybe not in it for the long haul, because it's hard. 00:13:48:06 - 00:14:19:27 Chris Okada It's tough. It's tough. And one one anecdote that I tell everyone is that a black swan event and New York City had many 911. I mean, you know, that's just one, you know, the Hurricane Sandy, that was a huge blow, the financial crisis and now the pandemic. We had a business plan that said if there is a million people outside in Times Square, our properties will never come down in value. 00:14:19:27 - 00:14:49:29 Chris Okada That was literally here. We, you know, three years ago. Exactly. In April of 2020, there was not a soul in sight. And everyone left Manhattan and everyone left the city. So, you know, you always have to try to prepare for the black one as best as possible. And really, that just means having a conservative savings for each one of your properties and having, you know, people say different things. 00:14:50:00 - 00:15:21:07 Chris Okada 12 months of mortgage and operating expenses in the bank account for the for the property. Some really conservative people say 24 months, but when times are good and the properties are well behaved, you're like, no, I'll keep two months, you know, two months in the end. And then that's when, you know, you need to be pretty conservative and have a strict cash flow policy and black swan policy of all the properties. 00:15:22:16 - 00:15:24:01 Chris Okada So for sure. 00:15:24:23 - 00:15:44:04 Sam Wilson Here is a question I want to we've got about 5 minutes left here on the show, and I really want to hear your kind of strategy that you guys are implementing behind this office space window that you're finding in New York City right now. How are you taking those down? I know you mentioned nine, 10% debt on them. 00:15:44:15 - 00:15:49:14 Sam Wilson How are you taking them down? How are you making them cash flow and how are you offsetting and or filling that vacancy? 00:15:51:07 - 00:16:18:18 Chris Okada That is the that's the big question, right? That's the big question, because the tenancy and the vacancy is the enemy along with it's a perfect storm. And but that's why the values are have been beaten up so much. So we are specialists in leasing. We lease we do corporate we've been doing corporate leasing and office leasing. We continue to do office leasing. 00:16:18:18 - 00:16:48:08 Chris Okada Our portfolio is 2.7 million feet. You know, when when times are good, there was less money to be made because there was less vacancy to be to be quite frank, year over year, office activity is up 76% as far as commission income and as far as square footage, I think it was I have to double check those numbers, Q1 23 versus Q1 22 and Q1 22. 00:16:48:08 - 00:17:08:11 Chris Okada We are coming out, I think December of 21 and January was all Micron and you know, we were not out of the woods in 21. So in 22 we were just starting. Now we're full blown. It's here in New York. It's 83 degrees. We're having a heat wave, you know, record highs of heat. You know, spring is in full swing. 00:17:08:17 - 00:17:36:23 Chris Okada And even though it's extremely challenging, if I turned off the news, I turned off CNBC. I didn't read Wall Street Journal. Our office leasing business is doing well, but we are super micro. We we, we have a, you know, an online strategy, social media strategy to really do whatever it takes to fill up our, our vacancies for our our own properties and others. 00:17:37:04 - 00:18:27:17 Chris Okada So it does take time if you're meeting the market. If rents, for example, were $10,000 a month for for a 1500 square foot just regular office space, and today they're at 7000 or it's a 30% drop. You got to you got to be able to meet what the tenant wants with a 30% discount. You got to have it designed the way they want it now because of work from home and because of co-working and all that stuff, when if they're going to leave their couch, if they're going to leave their living room, if you're going to leave your beautiful podcast room, what can I as a landlord offer you that would be equivalent to that? 00:18:27:17 - 00:18:52:12 Chris Okada And I have a we have a few ideas that were, number one, fully furnished, number two, fully designed, number three, turnkey. Like literally, I'm bringing your bringing your microphone in your laptop. If if that's what you've you're bringing a notepad, your phone and a laptop, and your eight employees will be there and the rest, the other ten will work from home. 00:18:53:15 - 00:19:19:09 Chris Okada And so we sort of have that down packed. It's it's not these large spaces it's no longer see is a great cubicles that's done. Everyone wants to feel comfortable. They they want a lounge sort of comfortable design, an upscale atmosphere. It doesn't have to be stuffy, but it does have to be thoughtful in design. That's what people want. 00:19:19:09 - 00:19:40:08 Chris Okada They like artwork. They they want to feel that it's that there's warm bodies and then they have to be well located. So they have to be in areas that it's it's kind of cool. You know, maybe there's a park a block away. I should go for a walk in the park. So the properties that are near the parks, they do better. 00:19:40:23 - 00:20:13:16 Chris Okada The properties that are near new, you know hotels we are just ad partners of ours are opening just open the Virgin Hotel with Richard Branson. That was last week and that was super fun and super cool. It was on the same day he opened a hotel. Now that he bankrupted one of his his space or subsidiaries, I'm not sure which one, but I do remember that. 00:20:13:16 - 00:20:44:00 Chris Okada Wow. This guy just read today breaking news that Richard Branson is be all one of his subsidiaries. And here he is laughing and smiling and cutting the ribbon for a $400 million hotel with his name on it. So, you know, I it's really about having a good plan, meeting the market and being a strong entrepreneur or to be able to take the pressure. 00:20:44:12 - 00:21:17:13 Chris Okada This whole education for me of this downturn, not even 21, was all right, 22 was scary. You know, the whole world was closed up, really. 23 And with the inflated interest rate environment, this is tested. Everything that I've been through and I and I believe that if and when you want to grow to the thousand dollar portfolio, ten that whatever ambitions you have as far as the real estate operator and owner, it will be tested. 00:21:17:22 - 00:21:41:28 Chris Okada And that's why I looked at Branson. I was like, Wow, how do you feel about having your New York? I interviewed him 2 seconds on the red carpet. How does it feel to have your own? And he's like sort of like giddy about it. But at the same time, he had a multi-hundred million, if not $1,000,000,000 venture, just go bankrupt. 00:21:42:09 - 00:22:17:28 Chris Okada And I and of course, I'm not going to ask him, oh, how did you know how to go with Virgin Galaxy or whatever, you know, whatever subsidiary it was. But that's it takes grit. It takes a lot of stress, it takes pressure. And being able to understand that pressure. And once you are put in that sort of situation where it's tough, you're not you're now ready for the next level, you will now be ready for the next level. 00:22:17:28 - 00:22:50:23 Chris Okada Whichever level that is. And for me, you know, working on and having, let's say, five, five properties here in midtown, of which maybe 75% are well-behaved, 25 are not well behaved, and the not well behaved ones are the ones that are keeping me up at night. The thought processes screw it. If, if, if, if a 30 of $30 million project could keep you up at night, why not just go for the gusto? 00:22:51:11 - 00:23:16:16 Chris Okada Go for it. Go for a hundred million? What does what difference does it make? Go for a billion? Because the amount of anxiety you get and if if worst case scenario, it all falls through, you fall flat on your face, you know, and it doesn't work out. It really just doesn't work out. And something happens. And now, you know, the Sun Belt is no longer interesting. 00:23:16:16 - 00:23:40:20 Chris Okada And, you know, rents are coming down and, you know, there's all kinds of, you know, interest rates are up and you're refinancing. You're at three and at 7%. Now you got to put up another $30 million. You don't have $30 million, whatever the story may be. And you come, you come and you and you come up and you survive that you're ready for the next level. 00:23:40:27 - 00:24:06:04 Chris Okada You've been you've you've been, you've walked the fire and now screw it. And I think Grant Cardone, who I'm sure you know, I think he is one guy and his story really that resonates with me is in oh eight, he owed $50 million to the bank. Now $50 million. That's a lot of pressure, you know, to personally have to cough up. 00:24:06:04 - 00:24:37:15 Chris Okada And if you don't have 50 mil in the bank, which most operators do not have. But let's just be clear then you got to liquidate everything. And if you don't got it past that, then, you know, Chapter 11 or Chapter seven, bankruptcy code. And so if he's going to go through all of that pain for 50 million bucks, why not just go for 500 million and then why not go for a billion? 00:24:37:20 - 00:25:03:18 Chris Okada And I think that that's that that resonates with me. But you got to walk that fire and you got to sort of feel that, you know, and all business plans are good. They are good. But you got a black swan event, No. One in 2020 because we are too busy worried about our toilet papers, you know, and, and, and the groceries and just survive in a pandemic. 00:25:04:15 - 00:25:50:23 Chris Okada No one thought about interest rates potentially growing 5% in 12 months. There's no way to have predicted in 2019 that in 2023 or 24 that the world was going to be the way it was. It's impossible to predict it. So all you can do is do your best with the information you have. And for us, we're pretty freaking good at leasing office space and we're doing whatever we can to buy low and get to cash flow as soon as as fast as humanly possible using all the the tools that we have, which is basically social media, networking, cold calls, you got to do whatever it takes to fill that tenant stack and fill that capital 00:25:50:23 - 00:26:09:25 Chris Okada stack, making. You got to reach out to you got to go on 50 podcasts. All right. You got to you got to go on 50 podcasts and let everyone know, hey, you know, like this is this is an incredible time. Maybe you're not maybe you're not there yet. Maybe you're not feeling it. But this is what we're doing. 00:26:10:12 - 00:26:32:08 Chris Okada And why don't you you know, come on our journey and say hello, and how do we make money together? That's essentially what we what we try to do. But the business plan is still the same. How many calls are you going to make today? How many presentations are you going to make to make this week or plan? How many luncheons do you have to go on? 00:26:32:08 - 00:27:07:20 Chris Okada How many email campaigns are you preparing? How many social media things are you, you know, is your social media calendar up? What is your PR up to? Have you been in the paper the same game in Brick, an investment group as Okada and Company? It's just the avatar. The target is different and that goes for any business, whether you're an insurance or an real estate or you're trying to raise $1,000,000,000 fund, you know. 00:27:08:13 - 00:27:09:19 Sam Wilson Indeed. I love. 00:27:09:19 - 00:27:10:07 Chris Okada It. That's it. 00:27:10:16 - 00:27:30:06 Sam Wilson I love it. Christopher, this has been a wealth of information. Thank you for taking the time here to come on the show today. I think what you're doing is really cool. I love the way you guys are taking down assets, how you are contrarian. I think that always speaks to me. Anybody who's looking look and laugh when everybody else is looking right is somebody that I want to get to know better. 00:27:30:06 - 00:27:45:26 Sam Wilson So thank you for taking the time to come on the show today and really share with us the opportunity that you guys are finding, especially in the office space, one that is, you know, kind of the estate is the dog. Everybody's kickin right now and you're going, hey, man, there's this. This is where you get paid. So I love I love how you're doing that. 00:27:45:26 - 00:27:50:09 Sam Wilson If our listeners want to get in touch with you and learn more about you, what is the best way to do that? 00:27:51:17 - 00:28:21:18 Chris Okada Oh yeah, for sure.

In this episode we return to our home turf of the Loft, as David Mancuso moves his venue (and his home) from 647 Broadway to Prince Street. Tim and Jeremy detail the shutdown of the first Loft space, how David found the new location, and the battle he had with the art scene residents of Soho to stay there. The Prince Street Loft was a much larger space, set over two floors, so we hear about the different configuration of the sound system, and how across all Loft settings a collection of principles helped guide and maintain the setup. Jeremy and Tim talk more broadly about audiophile aesthetics, the introduction of 'the prelude' to David's musical journey, and the slippery concept of 'jazziness'. Plus, a deep dive on the Dark Side of the Moon. Produced and edited by Matt Huxley. Tune in, Turn on, Get Down!

Women's workwear brand Argent is back in growth mode. The company first launched in 2016, and saw a precipitous rise over its first few years -- especially thanks to well-known fans of the brand like Hilary Clinton. But the pandemic changed everything -- with people no longer going to work in offices and overall demand plummeting. During that time, said Argent founder and CEO Sali Christeson, "it really became about survival and hunkering down and going lean and figuring out what our strategy was going to be." And while the company saw a loss in both 2020 and 2021, things are once again on the up and up. "We've never seen numbers the way that we're seeing now," said Christeson. She joined the Modern Retail Podcast this week and spoke about Argent's future plans, as well the overall state of workwear. Though Argent began as a digital brand, over the years it launched a few showrooms. And while many of those closed during the pandemic, Christeson said that in-store retail is a focus for this year. "I love stores," she said. "They've always been part of our story." With that, the brand has reopened its Soho store, and hopes to open more over the next year. But owned stores aren't the only area of growth for Argent. The brand recently began a wholesale partnership with Nordstrom. As Christeson described it, wholesale presents new opportunities when done right. "You have to recognize how much comes from whole partnerships, if you time it right," she said. "If it's a mutual fit, it's a win-win." And marketing is also a big push -- especially in some often-overlooked areas like catalogs. "Performance-driven catalogs… outperform digital," she said. "Catalogs crush for us." For now, the focus is on growing and keeping pace. "There's so much opportunity," she said. "We're trying to stay really focused on retail, wholesale team growth and then all the marketing to supplement it."

We discuss with Celeste Moore her experiences with coaching mid-life men on dating, how men and women approach sexual experiences, and the during and after of working in a strip club. I think the typical assumption is that different people experience dating in more or less the same way. But there's a pretty significant gender gap in how things get experienced. This is particularly true at younger ages, when young women might feel like they can "get away" with anything because there are plenty of fish in the sea, and young men are just trying to navigate the maze to get sex. But, as people age, the tables turn to a significant extent, and maybe what men and women are looking for even begins to look more similar. In my mind, they're both likely looking for membership into exclusive spaces, like the Soho House. Is such a place the same as sugar dating, or is there an important difference? Should people seek partners online or in person? Has dating gone awry? Which reminds me, I went to the Tesla factory the other day and noticed the rich(ish) tech workers all picking out which car they wanted to buy. On the other side of the parking lot were factory workers getting into busses to be transported back to the train station. I felt more kinship with the latter.

This is Part Ten of Ten of The Soho Strangler.At the crime-scene of ‘French Marie's murder, the culprit had left his fingerprints. At the pub and a nearby market, he was seen with the victim, just hours before ethe murder, by at least twenty eye-witnesses, some of whom he had spoken to, even giving them details about his life. As the case stalled, once again, a strangler had vanished into thin air, and the murders would stop……but only in Soho.300 miles north of London, another murder and an attempted murder or two prostitutes in very similar circumstances would lead the Police to a very likely suspect in the murder of French Marie.But was he The Soho Strangler?Murder Mile is researched, written and performed by Michael of Murder Mile Walks with the main musical themes written and performed by Erik Stein and Jon Boux of Cult With No Name and additional music, as used under the Creative Commons License 4.0.

The British "caff" - slang for café, and home of the breakfast fry up, or "full english" - is under threat. Many have closed, struggling to compete with changing tastes and the success of chains. Many of Britain's historic caffs opened in the 1940s and 50s, run by Italian migrants. Some of these original caffs are still trading, run by second and third generation Italian families. In this programme Ruth Alexander hears stories of the famous caffs that have closed for good, and goes in search of caffs still going. She's joined by actor Michael Simkins, who has relied on hearty caff fare during a 40-year career in the theatres of London's West End, and meets actor and director Mark Gatiss, who is finding it increasingly hard to find a good cup of tea in the capital. Ruth visits cafes that have been operating for decades – Bar Bruno in Soho, and Dino's Café in east London, to learn exactly what their customers love so much about the traditional British caff. Restaurant sector consultant James Hacon describes the changes seen in the hospitality industry in the last twenty years, and why caffs now face such stiff competition. If you would like to get in touch with the programme, email - thefoodchain@bbc.co.uk. Presented by Ruth Alexander. Produced by Beatrice Pickup.

In todays episode we're exploring a brand new way of working that's taking the best of both employment and freelance work and blending them together. Sounds interesting, right? Let's dive in! For this episode, we have brought back onto the show Ricky Walters, founder of the head turning SALON64 in Soho. Ricky is never afraid of breaking from tradition and coming up with original ideas. Something he is continually doing at SALON64. He is passionate about finding ways to combine the benefits of full-time employment and freelance work, and he believes that mentoring and growing is an essential part of making it work. For years, the only option was to become an employed assistant, hoping to grow into an employed hairdresser while building a client base. But now, some hairdressers are taking an innovative approach and pursuing freelance work instead. By doing something different, they can work on their own terms and explore new creative avenues, while building their reputation. But Ricky is to reveal in our conversation on why freelancers are discovering they're not quite as 'free' as they had first thought. Also he shares on when meeting and speaking with the freelance community he learned one of the main struggles and something they felt missing as a freelancer is a lack of a mentor. They were crying out for a mentorship style of working to motivate, inspire and drive results. Thats why SALON64 has created a brand new role by taking all the benefits of being employed, and the benefits of being freelance and blending them into the next age and the future of hairdressing. A future of providing mentoring and growing individuals. So, if you're looking for a new way of working that offers the best of both worlds, why not consider this brand new way of working? And remember, mentoring and growing is an essential part of making it work. Enjoy! A podcast produced by HOWTOCUT IT Media Network Thanks for Listening Leave a note in the comment section below.

In this episode I am joined by Justin Von Bujdoss, an American Buddhist teacher and chaplain. Justin recalls his upbringing in Soho, Manhattan as the son of a multi-generational family of painters, immersed in the New York art scene, attending a specialist high school, and engaging in study abroad programs across Europe and Asia. Justin recounts his childhood dreams of saints and spiritual masters, and his early fascination with Ancient Egypt and Western Occultism, which saw him transcribing magickal texts and engaging in rituals of evocation and divination. Justin explains why his conversion to Buddhism was inevitable, describes his meetings with great masters, and shares his passion for Vajrayogini practice and Mahamudra meditation. Justin also reveals why conducting dark retreat and studying Ati Yoga under Dr Nida Chenagtsang has brought him to an experience of the nature of mind so powerful that he has departed from many of the views expressed in his book ‘Modern Tantric Buddhism', as well as reduced his interest in propagating the Repa lineage in which he is ordained. … Video version: https://www.guruviking.com/podcast/ep196-modern-tantric-buddhism-justin-von-bujdoss Also available on Youtube, iTunes, & Spotify – search ‘Guru Viking Podcast'. … Topics Include: 00:00 - Intro 01:10 - Upbringing in Soho, New York 03:35 - Intense childhood spiritual interest 05:28 - Fascination with Ancient Egypt and Western Occultism 09:20 - From Western Occultism to Vajrayana 10:11 - Magickal ritual practice 13:41 - Practical success with Ancient Egyptian magick 16:37 - Childhood dreams of mahasiddhas 18:26 - Past life visions of connections with Tibetan Buddhism and early Indian Tantra 22:11 - Comments on the tulku tradition 24:34 - Attending a specialised high school and Antioch college 27:43 - Travels to India, meeting masters, 32:42 - Affinity with India and Tibet and converting to Buddhism 37:45 - Why Justin did not learn Tibetan or Sanskrit 39:52 - Learning Mahamudra from Tsunma Dechen Zangmo 41:56 - Passion for Vajrayogini practice 44:10 - Learning how to practice and juggling multiple lineages 52:19 - Signs of progress in Justin's practice 59:30 - Infantilisation of American students in Tibetan Buddhism 01:02:30 - Justin's critique of the Tibetan Buddhist culture and tradition 01:04:38 - Learning culture vs getting enlightened 01:06:05 - Why Justin ordained as a Repa 01:13:36 - Moving away from the Repa lineage 01:17:44 - Ordaining to make a point 01:19:30- To whom was Justin making a point? 01:23:50 - Losing interest in importing Buddhism to the USA 01:25:45 - Learning Ati Yoga from Dr Nida Chenagtsang 01:28:45 - How experiencing the nature of mind revolutionised Justin's religious life … To find our more about Justin Van Bujdoss, visit: - https://justinvonbujdoss.com/ For more interviews, videos, and more visit: - https://www.guruviking.com Music ‘Deva Dasi' by Steve James

On this week's Movies for Life, we're heading back to the swingin' 60s with two very different tales about women working in the world's oldest profession (ie sex work). Our first movie is Michele's pick of Luis Bunuel's BELLE DE JOUR from 1967, a fascinating and at times complex and complicated story of a woman's choice to secretly enter sex work as a way to work through her issue and explore her masochistic fantasies. Then we jump to the 2021 movie LAST NIGHT IN SOHO for Brian's choice. While dealing the same profession, the character in this film has a much different and darker story, wrapped up in an equally intriguing, colorful, and at times totally bonkers, tale about the dangers of nostalgia.
