William Gibson famously observed. The future is already here. It's just not evenly distributed. If you are an irrigation professional, old or new, who designs, installs or maintains high end residential, commercial, or municipal properties, And you want to use technology to improve your business, to get a leg up on your competition, even if you're an old school irrigator from the days of hydraulic systems, this show is for you. This is Andy. Welcome back to the Sprinkler Nerd Show. This is episode one 19 and it's gonna be a kind of brief episode, but I'm actually excited to share what I've been thinking about the last couple days because I think I may have been wrong about something. Well, Maybe not wrong. I, I just may have changed my mind on something again based on new information. So if you've been listening to this podcast, you know that I love to question what I think I know and I love to hear. Maybe not other opinions, let's say. Well, sure you could say other opinions, but I love to look at different angles on things. And I want you to, if you haven't listened to episode 90, I want you to lip listen to episode 90 because it's about, My thoughts on becoming a pioneer and in episode 90 I talked about how I used to think that being a pioneer was the goal as an entrepreneur. The goal of an entrepreneur is to pioneer new territory, right? Go out there and pioneer something. And I heard a quote from Howard Schultz, who's the former, well, he may still be the ceo, the founder of Starbucks. And I talked about how Howard said he would not choose to be a pioneer. He would rather disrupt something. And I'm gonna play that quote for you. And my thoughts are back in episode 90. So take a listen to episode 90 and I will play the quote from Howard here in just a moment. But earlier this week I heard. A quote on the very same topic that totally contradict or countered what Howard Schultz was talking about. And uh, this person, Jim McKelvey, who was the, he co-founded Square. Uh, which I'm sure you guys know about, it's the card, you know, the little card swiper that, uh, can attach to a smartphone. He co-founded Square with Jack Dorsey, I don't know, way back in like 2006, and he wrote this book called The Innovation Stack. And if you are, Well, I, I'd say anybody would enjoy this book, but particularly if you are an entrepreneur and you were building a company, could be a service company, contracting company, could be software company. It could be product company. Really any company. This book, the innovation stack is phenomenal and. Jim McKelvey count contradicts what Howard was talking about, and Jim says that you don't ever disrupt, you don't want to disrupt the market. And so what I wanted to do today was play both of these quotes and kind of share that. I think I might have been wrong, or I'm still not sure, or maybe it depends. Maybe you could pioneer something, maybe you could disrupt something. Maybe there's another variable at play that makes both of these people right. So the first thing I want to do right now is play the quote from Howard Schultz on why you should not be a pioneer and instead be a disruptor. There's always this question about what's the best road to take? Uh, should I disrupt the category? Or should I create a new one? I would say on balance. I generally don't want to be in the pioneering business. And by that I mean it's so hard to change consumer behavior. It takes a long time, a lot of resources. And unless you have the most compelling story, idea and form factor and platform, uh, and I think. Are willing to run the long race of losing money, which is fine. Uh, I think the easier route is to disrupt a category that already exists. Uh, but there's an opportunity cuz the large companies feel as if they're entitled to it. And I love that opportunity. Where the entrepreneur can be disruptive, much more innovative than anyone else. Excellent. I hope you liked that. I hope it made sense. It probably did make sense. Now I'm gonna play the quote from Jim, which I heard just a couple days ago from the book, the Innovation Stack. If you like to listen to your books, like you listen to a podcast, go on Audible, download this book. It's so good. And the, the premise of the book, I'll just share it with you real quick, is that a company becomes, Let's say defensible and significant based on not one feature or one thing, but an entire stack of innovations that the company develops. And he uses great examples like Southwest Airlines that figured out how they could charge a rate at half the market. But in order to do that, They had to turn the plane around in 10 minutes, right? And so sometimes when you want to do something, you gotta figure out how to do something else entirely. And that that stack, that compound of innovations is called an innovation stack. And that stack of innovations is what is becomes really valuable over time. So when they started Square, there was just one innovation after another, after another, after another. That kept getting unlocked as they went to build the company, and that innovation stack is what allowed them to compete against Amazon. And Amazon rolled out a card reader shortly after they did that could certainly have put them outta business, but Amazon didn't realize all the pieces of the puzzle or all the pieces of the innovation stack that was going to be required in order to do what Square had already. Done. So I wanna share with you this quote from Jim so that you can see how it compares to what Howard just said about he'd rather be a disruptor. And what Jim says is the opposite of that. So I think this is fascinating and I hope you enjoy this Next quote, is disruption bad? Not by itself, but disruption has also never been the focus of good entrepreneurs. The entrepreneurs profiled in this book set out to build and not destroy. To focus on disruption is to look over one's shoulder into the past. But if you are trying to solve a perfect problem or expand a market, shouldn't you study that industry? No, you look at your customers, or I should say your potential customers for they do not even know your product or service is possible. William Gibson famously observed The future is already here. It's just not evenly distributed. Unfair as this situation sounds, Gibson's words contain a hopeful promise while only a few of us enjoy the latest cool thing. Eventually, the future will deliver it to us all. Who will make that delivery? Entrepreneurs distribute that future. The companies they build are not disruptors. They are market expanders for the people waiting for their slice of the future. If disruption occurs, it is merely a side effect. The focus of the entrepreneur is the people who cannot get a loan or travel or furnish their home or get paid. The focus of the entrepreneur is on the horizon beyond the wall. If we glance at the system, it is neither to copy it nor to destroy it, but simply to see how much more can be done. Holy cow. Did you guys not just hear what I heard? I'm going to read this again probably in my own words in just a moment because I also took some notes. But like I have, is it weird to say that I almost have like goosebumps or chills listening to that? It's much more compelling than, uh, than Howard's quote about being a disruptor. And I love how these, they don't really contradict each other and they might be coming from two different vantage points. So my sort of, my thought here today is not to say one is wrong or ru one is right, but to have you think. And to sort of portray or relay this information that, that I came across because I think it's super powerful. And just listening to the final part of that quote gave me kind of chills, honestly. Like the, the final quote there says, it is, this is crazy. If we glance at the system, it is neither to copy nor destroy it, but simply to see how much more can be done. Like that alone. Simply see how much more can be done. That's the goal. That's what entrepreneurs do. That's what you guys are probably doing in your own day, and if you're not, let's take a chance on it. See how much more could be. Done. And there's a, there's a middle part here that I really like also, and that is that, you know, essentially the entrepreneur's job is to distribute the future. Okay? So they start out by saying, well, only a few of us enjoy the latest cool thing. Eventually the future will deliver it to us All. Question then becomes who will make the delivery? Entrepreneurs distribute that future. The companies they build are not disruptors. Let me read that again. The companies they build are not disruptors. Take that. Howard Companies they build are not disruptors. They are market expanders for the people waiting for their slice of the future. I love that because it talks about the people, the customer. That's the most important thing, waiting for the customer, for the people waiting for their slice of the future. If disruption occurs, and this is key, it is merely a side effect. Disrupting was not the goal, it was just the side effect. Because the focus of the entrepreneur is on the people, the people that want it, the customer, the focus of the entrepreneur is on the horizon beyond. The wall man, that just gives me shivers. It's like, yeah, behind the wall. It's like as soon as you get somewhere, don't put a wall up. Let's go more. Let's go bigger. Let's figure this out. Let's see what could happen next beyond the wall. And that makes me think I should re-watch that kid's movie over the hedge. What? Hedge, what wall? It's why I can't stand the quote. You know, think outside the box because a true entrepreneur doesn't see a box. There is no box. Somebody had to say there was a box for there to be a box, but what if there was no damn box? So that's it. That's all I had today guys. I just wanted you to kind of see that I am on a daily basis, I think about what I think I know and try to understand and learn more. And back Last fall, episode number 90. I thought that disruption would be the better choice because I heard it from Howard s Schulz, and maybe he meant it through a different lens. I don't know. But now I think disruption is the byproduct. After, after listening to Jim. I think disruption is the byproduct and I think it's just at the end of the day fun to, fun to think all of these things and to see it and then to, you know, use that thought that you're maybe having right now and put it into perspective in our industry. How do the major brands, the major companies, from products to services, to software to contractors, how do they think. Right. How are they growing their business? And if you are one of them starting up, how can you position yourself with great technology, great people, a great innovation stack focused on what the customer wants and uh, yeah. That's what I have this week. Guys, thank you so much for listening. I appreciate all of you guys and uh, we'll catch you on the next episode. Happy sprinkling.

Mental health in aviation is a critical issue affecting pilots and the entire aviation ecosystem. The high-pressure environment, long hours, irregular schedules, and extended periods away from home can cause significant stress on pilots, leading to mental health issues such as anxiety, depression, and burnout.There is limited research on mental health issues among pilots, but studies suggest that pilots may be at higher risk than the general population. Here are some statistics based on available research:A survey of 1,848 commercial pilots in 2015 found that 4.1% of respondents reported having suicidal thoughts within the previous two weeks, compared to 3.7% of adults in the general population.The same survey found that 12.6% of pilots reported experiencing symptoms of depression, compared to 7.1% of adults in the general population.A 2017 study of 2,500 pilots in the United States found that 29% of respondents had experienced symptoms of depression within the previous two weeks, and 4.1% had experienced suicidal thoughts within the last two weeks.The same study found that 12.6% of respondents had been diagnosed with depression at some point, and 4.1% had been diagnosed with a personality disorder.It's important to note that these statistics are based on self-reported data and may not reflect the full extent of mental health issues among pilots.The industry has traditionally taken a reactive approach to mental health, addressing it only after an incident or accident. However, we do see improvements with airlines and aviation regulatory bodies implementing more proactive measures to prevent and manage mental health issues among pilots.One such measure is the implementation of peer-support programs that allow pilots to confidentially share their concerns with other pilots who have undergone similar experiences. Additionally, airlines provide mental health resources and training to pilots, including access to mental health professionals and stress management techniques.The FAA has also implemented regulations that require pilots to disclose their mental health status to their employers and undergo regular mental health assessments. These regulations aim to detect and manage mental health issues early and prevent them from escalating into more severe problems. But as pilots know, losing your medical can cost you a great deal of time, money, resources, and sometimes your job."Pilots believe that being vulnerable, and sharing feelings or struggles, such as anxiety, depression, and chronic stress, would be at best humiliating or embarrassing, and, at worst, the end of their flying career."Reyne O'Shaughnessy, a retired airline pilot and author of "This Is Your Captain Speaking," shared in a recent interview. Captain Reyne was featured on an AVIATE roundtable last year, focusing on mental health in aviation.Each season, I intentionally dedicate an episode to discussing mental health in aviation. When I read about Tammy Jo Shults, a retired Navy fighter pilot and commercial airline pilot who grew up on a ranch in Texas, I immediately knew she would be an influential guest on this podcast. When I further learned Tammie Jo's story and how she gained national recognition for safely landing Southwest Airlines Flight 1380 after an engine failure in April 2018, I invited her to share her story and anchor our conversation around mental health.Shults was one of the first female fighter pilots in the U.S. Navy and flew the F/A-18 Hornet in combat operations during Operation Desert Storm. She later became a commercial airline pilot and joined Southwest Airlines in 1993, where she continued to fly until her retirement in 2020. Shults' skill and composure during the emergency landing of Flight 1380 were widely praised and credited with saving the lives of the passengers and crew on board.Tammie Jo, welcome!

Jack Ji is my guest on the podcast today and his goal in life is to help us all find our soul purpose. Jack is a Destiny Shaman and utilizes Vedic Astrology and a simple deck of playing cards to determine each person's unique destiny.  Jack Ji was a former employee of Southwest Airlines when several events led him to change his life trajectory. He heard voices that told him to move over while he was driving, in order to avoid an accident. The first time he didn't listen, but the second time he did and his life changed when he started listening to his intuition.  Jack shares how every year we should think of our own birthday as New Year's Day – when the cycle of our life repeats itself. Every 52 days we enter a different cycle and Jack shares what each of these 52 day segments mean. For instance one of the 52 day cycles is when our intuition is highest, one is when we will make great friends, one is best for work, manifesting and more. Jack Ji shows people where they are in their exact cycle of life so that they can get the most out of life. He also tells us that we have one or two pinnacle years in our lifetime, which are years where we can accomplish almost anything. By knowing these years in advance, we can take full advantage of our year and achieve amazing things. We discuss aura photography and how this determines what is out of balance in our lives. Certain chakras that may be compromised can be healed with sound and light therapy which is another modality in Jack's toolkit. Lastly we go into a new healing technology that Jack Ji has received certification in. It is Firefly Light Therapy, the most powerful light therapy developed. Firefly Light Therapy™ is the latest in multi-spectrum LED light therapy for pain, neurological disorders, and pathogen issuesBy putting these lights directly on the body, intense healing occurs. Jack explains the technology a bit and I had the opportunity to experience this healing directly. I have more energy, am sleeping better and am in the process of healing my gut issues. It is incredible, but is only available in person. Wherever you are located you can search for Firefly Light Therapy and find your own practitioner. Remember though Jack does virtual Destiny Card Readings and more. Shine on and thanks for tuning in as always. Please share, rate and comment so more people can be inspired to Shine their own light.https://www.eastwestbooks.org/jack-jiKim:https://www.kimduffselby.com/https://www.instagram.com/kimduffselby/kimduffselby@gmail.com

This is Garrison Hardie with your CrossPolitic Daily News Brief for Tuesday, May 9th, 2023. Samaritan Ministries: Don’t be limited by restrictive networks. There’s another way. A Biblical way. Samaritan Ministries. Say you have a medical need. You don’t have to check and see what hospital is in your network, or be concerned about the doctor being in-network, too. No. You go to the hospital you choose, and don’t give a second thought as to what’s in-network and what’s not, because with Samaritan Ministries, you’re in control of your health care. Afterwards, fellow members pray for you, and send money directly to you to help you pay your medical bills. And when they have a medical need, you’ll do the same for them. That’s what Biblical health care sharing looks like. Check it out today at samaritan ministries dot org slash cross politic First, we start with the news of a coronation for our friends across the pond. https://www.cnn.com/2023/05/06/europe/coronation-king-charles-ckc-gbr-intl/index.html King Charles III is crowned in once-in-a-generation ceremony Britain’s King Charles III has been crowned in a once-in-a-generation royal event witnessed by hundreds of high-profile guests inside Westminster Abbey, as well as tens of thousands of well-wishers who gathered in central London despite the rain. While Charles became King on the death of his mother, Queen Elizabeth II last September, the coronation on Saturday was the formal crowning of the monarch. The service was a profoundly religious affair, reflecting the fact that aside from being head of state of the United Kingdom and 14 other countries, Charles is also the Supreme Governor of the Church of England. In the most significant moment of the day, Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby placed the 360-year-old St. Edward’s Crown on Charles’ head. The spiritual leader of the Anglican Church then declared: “God Save the King.” The intricate service lasted just over two hours – about an hour shorter than Elizabeth II’s coronation in 1953 – and followed a traditional template that has stayed much the same for more than 1,000 years. However, it has been modernized in certain key ways. The archbishop acknowledged the multiple faiths observed in the UK during the ceremony, saying the Church of England “will seek to foster an environment in which people of all faiths may live freely.” The King took the Coronation Oath and became the first monarch to pray aloud at his coronation. In his prayer he asked to “be a blessing” to people “of every faith and conviction.” In what is considered the most sacred part of the ceremony, the King was anointed with holy oil by the Archbishop of Canterbury. He was also presented with the coronation regalia, including the royal Robe and Stole, in what is known as the investiture part of the service. Then, for the first time in coronation history, the archbishop invited the British public, as well as those from “other Realms,” to recite a pledge of allegiance to the newly crowned monarch and his “heirs and successors.” Ahead of the event, some parts of the British media and public interpreted the invitation as a command, reporting that people had been “asked” and “called” to swear allegiance to the King. In the face of such criticism, the Church of England revised the text of the liturgy so that members of the public would be given a choice between saying simply “God save King Charles” or reciting the full pledge of allegiance. The ceremony also included a reading from the Bible by UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and, in another coronation first, gospel music. Once the King was crowned, his wife, Queen Camilla, was crowned in her own, shorter ceremony with Queen Mary’s Crown – marking the first time in recent history that a new crown wasn’t made specifically for this occasion. After the ceremony, the newly crowned King and Queen rode back to Buckingham Palace in a much larger parade, featuring 4,000 members of the armed forces, 250 horses and 19 military bands. The pomp and pageantry concluded with a royal salute and the customary balcony appearance by the King and family members. They and the crowds below watched a flypast of military aircraft, slimmed down because of the poor weather. Despite the splendor of the occasion, it has not been without controversy. Some have objected to millions of pounds of taxpayers’ money being spent on a lavish ceremony at a time when millions of Britons are suffering a severe cost-of-living crisis. Security is by far the most costly element of large events and the Met said ahead of time that Saturday would be the largest one-day policing operation in decades, with more than 11,500 officers on duty in London. The coronation has also attracted anti-monarchy demonstrations, with a small number of protesters arrested in central London on Saturday morning before the event began. Republic, a campaign group that calls for the abolition of the monarchy, said the idea of the “homage of the people” was “offensive, tone deaf and a gesture that holds the people in contempt.” Some eyebrows were also raised earlier this week when a controversial and widely criticized UK public order bill came into force. Since the death of Queen Elizabeth II last year, there have been a number of instances of anti-monarchists turning up at royal engagements to voice their grievances against the institution. The new rules, signed into law by the King on Tuesday, just days before the coronation, empower the police to take stronger action against peaceful protesters. https://thepostmillennial.com/biden-to-veto-house-remain-in-mexico-bill?utm_campaign=64487 Biden to veto House 'remain in Mexico' bill On Monday, the White House announced that Joe Biden would veto an immigration bill coming out of the House of Representatives that would reinstitute several Trump-era policies including construction of the border wall and the remain in Mexico policy, which stated that anyone seeking asylum had to wait in Mexico as their claim was processed. According to the Associated Press, the White House Office of Management and Budget said in a statement, "While we welcome Congress' engagement on meaningful steps to address immigration and the challenges at the border, this bill would make things worse, not better. Because this bill does very little to actually increase border security while doing a great deal to trample on the nation’s core values and international obligations, it should be rejected." On Thursday, the House is set to vote on the 213-page Secure the Border Act. Thursday also marks the expiration of Title 42, the Trump-era policy instituted under Covid that granted Border Patrol and Department of Homeland Security officials the ability to expel illegal immigrants over health concerns. The Secure the Border Act would also require employers to verify a worker's immigration status for employment and institute the E-Verify system House Majority Leader Steve Scalise said, "Joe Biden sent a message that America’s border is open, and millions of people answered that call and started coming across our border illegally. We’re going to show the president how to solve the problem." The Daily Mail reports, the Secure the Border Act would limit federal funds for NGOs (non-governmental organizations) that aid illegal immigrants crossing the border, would end Biden's expedited entry policy for Nicaraguans, Venezuelans, Haitians, and Cubans, and grant more money for hiring additional border agents. Joe Biden loosened restrictions along the southern border after he took office and HHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas made the announcement that migrants seeking asylum would be permitted entry into the US as would unaccompanied minors. US Border Patrol Chief Raul Ortiz said that over the weekend 26,382 apprehensions were made by border patrol and that 11 pounds of fentanyl and 83 pounds of meth were seized. Mexican cartels have exploited Biden's border crisis, with 2,378,944 illegal immigrant encounters reported in the 2022 fiscal year and 1,659,206 reported in FY 2021, by trafficking humans and drugs, especially fentanyl across the border in record numbers. https://www.dailywire.com/news/airlines-may-soon-be-on-the-hook-for-delayed-and-canceled-flights-transportation-dept-says Airlines May Soon Be On The Hook For Delayed And Canceled Flights, Transportation Dept Says Transportation Secretary Pete Boo-tuh-jeg announced on Monday that the agency introduced rules requiring airlines to reimburse customers who incur expenses due to certain delayed and canceled flights, a move which comes as the industry faces elevated demand and a constrained labor force. The proposed rules, which would apply when an airline delays a flight for more than three hours or cancels a flight for a “controllable” reason, would mandate that the firms offer compensation for stranded passengers, as well as a meal or meal voucher, overnight accommodations, and ground transportation between the airport and hotel. “When an airline causes a flight cancellation or delay, passengers should not foot the bill,” Buttigieg said in a statement, noting that the proposed reimbursement rules would be the first in American history. The move comes after Southwest Airlines experienced holiday travel disruptions last year due to extreme winter weather conditions, staff shortages, and an outdated computer system. The carrier canceled thousands of flights days after other carriers had resumed normal operations. Buttigieg told the company, which has since promised to compensate passengers for all expenses incurred during that time, that the disruptions were “unacceptable” and promised that his agency would exercise “the fullest extent of its investigative and enforcement powers” to ensure customers are reimbursed. The new proposals also occur as the sector faces a severely limited pool of available pilots and frontline staff. Carriers previously encouraged commercial pilots to retire as worldwide lockdowns caused demand for air travel to plummet in the spring of 2020, worsening a previous trend toward a lack of available pilots. Elevated prices for airline tickets and a rapid return in travel demand, however, are now prompting lawmakers to consider the problem. Regional Airline Association CEO Faye Malarkey Black told members of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee last month that more than 50% of current pilots would be forced to retire within the next 15 years because of federal rules mandating that pilots exit their positions once they reach 65 years of age, even as only 8% of pilots are below 30 years of age due to the high cost of flight education. Buttigieg has opposed legislation that would increase the retirement threshold to 67 years of age, contending that “the answer is to make sure we have as many and as good pilots ready to take their place, to have a stronger pipeline.” https://www.nbcnews.com/health/health-news/fecal-transplant-pill-fda-approval-rcna81779 FDA approves first pill for fecal transplants, made from healthy bacteria in human waste U.S. health officials on Wednesday approved the first pill made from healthy bacteria found in human waste to fight dangerous gut infections — an easier way of performing so-called fecal transplants. The new treatment from Seres Therapeutics provides a simpler, rigorously tested version of stool-based procedures that some medical specialists have used for more than a decade to help patients. The Food and Drug Administration cleared the capsules for adults 18 and older who face risks from repeat infections with Clostridium difficile, a bacteria that can cause severe nausea, cramping and diarrhea. diff is particularly dangerous when it reoccurs, leading to between 15,000 and 30,000 deaths per year. It can be killed with antibiotics but they also destroy good bacteria that live in the gut, leaving it more susceptible to future infections. The new capsules are approved for patients who have already received antibiotic treatment. More than 10 years ago, some doctors began reporting success with fecal transplants — using stool from a healthy donor — to restore the gut’s healthy balance and prevent reinfections. The FDA approved the first pharmaceutical-grade version of the treatment last year from a rival drugmaker, Ferring Pharmaceuticals. But that company’s product — like most of the original procedures — must be delivered via the rectum. Cambridge, Mass.-based Seres will market its drug as a less invasive option. The treatment will be sold under the brand name Vowst and comes as a regimen of four daily capsules taken for three consecutive days. Both of the recent FDA approvals are the product of years of pharmaceutical industry research into the microbiome, the community of bacteria, viruses and fungi that live in the gut. Currently most fecal transplants are provided by a network of stool banks that have popped up at medical institutions and hospitals across the country. While the availability of new FDA-approved options is expected to decrease demand for donations from stool banks, some plan to stay open. The FDA warned in its approval announcement that the drug “may carry a risk of transmitting infectious agents. It is also possible for Vowst to contain food allergens,” the agency noted. The FDA approved the treatment based on a 180-patient study in which nearly 88% of patients taking the capsules did not experience reinfection after 8 weeks, compared with 60% of those who received dummy pills.

This is Garrison Hardie with your CrossPolitic Daily News Brief for Tuesday, May 9th, 2023. Samaritan Ministries: Don’t be limited by restrictive networks. There’s another way. A Biblical way. Samaritan Ministries. Say you have a medical need. You don’t have to check and see what hospital is in your network, or be concerned about the doctor being in-network, too. No. You go to the hospital you choose, and don’t give a second thought as to what’s in-network and what’s not, because with Samaritan Ministries, you’re in control of your health care. Afterwards, fellow members pray for you, and send money directly to you to help you pay your medical bills. And when they have a medical need, you’ll do the same for them. That’s what Biblical health care sharing looks like. Check it out today at samaritan ministries dot org slash cross politic First, we start with the news of a coronation for our friends across the pond. https://www.cnn.com/2023/05/06/europe/coronation-king-charles-ckc-gbr-intl/index.html King Charles III is crowned in once-in-a-generation ceremony Britain’s King Charles III has been crowned in a once-in-a-generation royal event witnessed by hundreds of high-profile guests inside Westminster Abbey, as well as tens of thousands of well-wishers who gathered in central London despite the rain. While Charles became King on the death of his mother, Queen Elizabeth II last September, the coronation on Saturday was the formal crowning of the monarch. The service was a profoundly religious affair, reflecting the fact that aside from being head of state of the United Kingdom and 14 other countries, Charles is also the Supreme Governor of the Church of England. In the most significant moment of the day, Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby placed the 360-year-old St. Edward’s Crown on Charles’ head. The spiritual leader of the Anglican Church then declared: “God Save the King.” The intricate service lasted just over two hours – about an hour shorter than Elizabeth II’s coronation in 1953 – and followed a traditional template that has stayed much the same for more than 1,000 years. However, it has been modernized in certain key ways. The archbishop acknowledged the multiple faiths observed in the UK during the ceremony, saying the Church of England “will seek to foster an environment in which people of all faiths may live freely.” The King took the Coronation Oath and became the first monarch to pray aloud at his coronation. In his prayer he asked to “be a blessing” to people “of every faith and conviction.” In what is considered the most sacred part of the ceremony, the King was anointed with holy oil by the Archbishop of Canterbury. He was also presented with the coronation regalia, including the royal Robe and Stole, in what is known as the investiture part of the service. Then, for the first time in coronation history, the archbishop invited the British public, as well as those from “other Realms,” to recite a pledge of allegiance to the newly crowned monarch and his “heirs and successors.” Ahead of the event, some parts of the British media and public interpreted the invitation as a command, reporting that people had been “asked” and “called” to swear allegiance to the King. In the face of such criticism, the Church of England revised the text of the liturgy so that members of the public would be given a choice between saying simply “God save King Charles” or reciting the full pledge of allegiance. The ceremony also included a reading from the Bible by UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and, in another coronation first, gospel music. Once the King was crowned, his wife, Queen Camilla, was crowned in her own, shorter ceremony with Queen Mary’s Crown – marking the first time in recent history that a new crown wasn’t made specifically for this occasion. After the ceremony, the newly crowned King and Queen rode back to Buckingham Palace in a much larger parade, featuring 4,000 members of the armed forces, 250 horses and 19 military bands. The pomp and pageantry concluded with a royal salute and the customary balcony appearance by the King and family members. They and the crowds below watched a flypast of military aircraft, slimmed down because of the poor weather. Despite the splendor of the occasion, it has not been without controversy. Some have objected to millions of pounds of taxpayers’ money being spent on a lavish ceremony at a time when millions of Britons are suffering a severe cost-of-living crisis. Security is by far the most costly element of large events and the Met said ahead of time that Saturday would be the largest one-day policing operation in decades, with more than 11,500 officers on duty in London. The coronation has also attracted anti-monarchy demonstrations, with a small number of protesters arrested in central London on Saturday morning before the event began. Republic, a campaign group that calls for the abolition of the monarchy, said the idea of the “homage of the people” was “offensive, tone deaf and a gesture that holds the people in contempt.” Some eyebrows were also raised earlier this week when a controversial and widely criticized UK public order bill came into force. Since the death of Queen Elizabeth II last year, there have been a number of instances of anti-monarchists turning up at royal engagements to voice their grievances against the institution. The new rules, signed into law by the King on Tuesday, just days before the coronation, empower the police to take stronger action against peaceful protesters. https://thepostmillennial.com/biden-to-veto-house-remain-in-mexico-bill?utm_campaign=64487 Biden to veto House 'remain in Mexico' bill On Monday, the White House announced that Joe Biden would veto an immigration bill coming out of the House of Representatives that would reinstitute several Trump-era policies including construction of the border wall and the remain in Mexico policy, which stated that anyone seeking asylum had to wait in Mexico as their claim was processed. According to the Associated Press, the White House Office of Management and Budget said in a statement, "While we welcome Congress' engagement on meaningful steps to address immigration and the challenges at the border, this bill would make things worse, not better. Because this bill does very little to actually increase border security while doing a great deal to trample on the nation’s core values and international obligations, it should be rejected." On Thursday, the House is set to vote on the 213-page Secure the Border Act. Thursday also marks the expiration of Title 42, the Trump-era policy instituted under Covid that granted Border Patrol and Department of Homeland Security officials the ability to expel illegal immigrants over health concerns. The Secure the Border Act would also require employers to verify a worker's immigration status for employment and institute the E-Verify system House Majority Leader Steve Scalise said, "Joe Biden sent a message that America’s border is open, and millions of people answered that call and started coming across our border illegally. We’re going to show the president how to solve the problem." The Daily Mail reports, the Secure the Border Act would limit federal funds for NGOs (non-governmental organizations) that aid illegal immigrants crossing the border, would end Biden's expedited entry policy for Nicaraguans, Venezuelans, Haitians, and Cubans, and grant more money for hiring additional border agents. Joe Biden loosened restrictions along the southern border after he took office and HHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas made the announcement that migrants seeking asylum would be permitted entry into the US as would unaccompanied minors. US Border Patrol Chief Raul Ortiz said that over the weekend 26,382 apprehensions were made by border patrol and that 11 pounds of fentanyl and 83 pounds of meth were seized. Mexican cartels have exploited Biden's border crisis, with 2,378,944 illegal immigrant encounters reported in the 2022 fiscal year and 1,659,206 reported in FY 2021, by trafficking humans and drugs, especially fentanyl across the border in record numbers. https://www.dailywire.com/news/airlines-may-soon-be-on-the-hook-for-delayed-and-canceled-flights-transportation-dept-says Airlines May Soon Be On The Hook For Delayed And Canceled Flights, Transportation Dept Says Transportation Secretary Pete Boo-tuh-jeg announced on Monday that the agency introduced rules requiring airlines to reimburse customers who incur expenses due to certain delayed and canceled flights, a move which comes as the industry faces elevated demand and a constrained labor force. The proposed rules, which would apply when an airline delays a flight for more than three hours or cancels a flight for a “controllable” reason, would mandate that the firms offer compensation for stranded passengers, as well as a meal or meal voucher, overnight accommodations, and ground transportation between the airport and hotel. “When an airline causes a flight cancellation or delay, passengers should not foot the bill,” Buttigieg said in a statement, noting that the proposed reimbursement rules would be the first in American history. The move comes after Southwest Airlines experienced holiday travel disruptions last year due to extreme winter weather conditions, staff shortages, and an outdated computer system. The carrier canceled thousands of flights days after other carriers had resumed normal operations. Buttigieg told the company, which has since promised to compensate passengers for all expenses incurred during that time, that the disruptions were “unacceptable” and promised that his agency would exercise “the fullest extent of its investigative and enforcement powers” to ensure customers are reimbursed. The new proposals also occur as the sector faces a severely limited pool of available pilots and frontline staff. Carriers previously encouraged commercial pilots to retire as worldwide lockdowns caused demand for air travel to plummet in the spring of 2020, worsening a previous trend toward a lack of available pilots. Elevated prices for airline tickets and a rapid return in travel demand, however, are now prompting lawmakers to consider the problem. Regional Airline Association CEO Faye Malarkey Black told members of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee last month that more than 50% of current pilots would be forced to retire within the next 15 years because of federal rules mandating that pilots exit their positions once they reach 65 years of age, even as only 8% of pilots are below 30 years of age due to the high cost of flight education. Buttigieg has opposed legislation that would increase the retirement threshold to 67 years of age, contending that “the answer is to make sure we have as many and as good pilots ready to take their place, to have a stronger pipeline.” https://www.nbcnews.com/health/health-news/fecal-transplant-pill-fda-approval-rcna81779 FDA approves first pill for fecal transplants, made from healthy bacteria in human waste U.S. health officials on Wednesday approved the first pill made from healthy bacteria found in human waste to fight dangerous gut infections — an easier way of performing so-called fecal transplants. The new treatment from Seres Therapeutics provides a simpler, rigorously tested version of stool-based procedures that some medical specialists have used for more than a decade to help patients. The Food and Drug Administration cleared the capsules for adults 18 and older who face risks from repeat infections with Clostridium difficile, a bacteria that can cause severe nausea, cramping and diarrhea. diff is particularly dangerous when it reoccurs, leading to between 15,000 and 30,000 deaths per year. It can be killed with antibiotics but they also destroy good bacteria that live in the gut, leaving it more susceptible to future infections. The new capsules are approved for patients who have already received antibiotic treatment. More than 10 years ago, some doctors began reporting success with fecal transplants — using stool from a healthy donor — to restore the gut’s healthy balance and prevent reinfections. The FDA approved the first pharmaceutical-grade version of the treatment last year from a rival drugmaker, Ferring Pharmaceuticals. But that company’s product — like most of the original procedures — must be delivered via the rectum. Cambridge, Mass.-based Seres will market its drug as a less invasive option. The treatment will be sold under the brand name Vowst and comes as a regimen of four daily capsules taken for three consecutive days. Both of the recent FDA approvals are the product of years of pharmaceutical industry research into the microbiome, the community of bacteria, viruses and fungi that live in the gut.

Before you book your summer vacation, you'll want to hear this episode. What is going on at Southwest Airlines – a carrier known for efficiency and customer loyalty? The Dallas-based airline has had a rough go of it the last six months. The December meltdown cancelled more than 16,000 flights, impacting more than two-million passengers. Then in April, the failure of a computer firewall delayed 1,700 flights on a random Tuesday. Jason Whitely grabbed a seat next to CEO Bob Jordan on a recent flight to Hawaii as the airline marked four years of flights to the islands with a 737 sporting a newly painted Hawaiian-themed livery. Mr. Jordan took Jason's questions on all the recent problems, the fixes in place before next winter, getting phone calls from the U.S. Secretary of Transportation, a new contract for pilots and what he has learned in his first 14 months as the top executive at the airline. But if talking to the CEO isn't rare enough, Southwest also made the Chief Operating Officer, Andrew Watterson, available to Whitely. What destinations are Southwest considering next? Will you be able to get from A to B? This is the episode to download before you pack your bags for your summer vacation.   GUESTS: Bob Jordan, CEO, Southwest Airlines Andrew Watterson, COO, Southwest Airlines

There are three questions in the pleasure's mine, by the way, for having great guests like you on the show. You're the ones that make this actually go round. So thank you for coming on today. 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?   00:01:12:11 - 00:01:14:00 Sam Wilson Where are you now and how did you get there?   00:01:15:07 - 00:01:38:05 Larry Dorfman I started years ago on a family business that didn't work out. I learned a lot from a father who was very a personality. I was very a personality. So after about 11 years, I left there and started my own company in 1984, retired from that in 2019. And then one of my kids helped me fail at retirement and brought me into a new thing we're working on in the real estate business.   00:01:38:05 - 00:01:45:08 Larry Dorfman I've been investing in real estate for a lot of years, possibly with one of my kids, but now we are actively building something very special.   00:01:46:02 - 00:02:00:24 Sam Wilson That yeah, failed. I can only imagine. I mean, working that hard for that long. It's going to be tough for all of us. I mean, was there ever that grand vision of like actually retiring or was it just maybe slowing down that didn't work out?   00:02:02:07 - 00:02:19:09 Larry Dorfman Well, it worked out beautifully. I mean, if you retire in 19 year, then I had really planned on it, but I was traveling a couple of hundred days a year. It really worked out beautifully because this thing called the pandemic happened. Mm hmm. Well, I have to go see a shrink just to get on the guilt of how much fun I had.   00:02:19:14 - 00:02:37:01 Larry Dorfman Pandemic, which was sad because there's a lot of people die, and it was a terrible thing for sure. But I had the opportunity to have and it actually goes into our story. I have one of actually two of my kids, but this particular kid moving our house for nine months, he was under construction, redoing his property. He's the real estate guy.   00:02:37:16 - 00:02:57:20 Larry Dorfman And I had him and his wife and his two kids. So we had multi-generational living, which we don't get to experience anymore. And I had it for nine months. We had dinner together every single night. This idea that we're into now, which is called real roots, real estate investment community, was his and a friend of his, and he started talking to me about it.   00:02:57:20 - 00:03:12:10 Larry Dorfman And the next thing I know, he's dragged me out of retirement back into playing, but I don't think it's the slowing down. I had a great time slowing down. I still get to play at my own pace. That was my first question when he said, No, no, no, no, I don't want advice. I want to know if you want to do it with me.   00:03:13:05 - 00:03:30:09 Larry Dorfman And I said, you can go back to work. And he said, No, no, you could just work as much as you want. I just I just want you to play. I need three different minds in here. It has been a blast. It's an honor to be asked by one of your kids to participate. We had all stayed away from working with each other because of my background with my dad.   00:03:30:13 - 00:03:34:04 Larry Dorfman Not too well. So now we are enjoying it.   00:03:34:20 - 00:03:55:11 Sam Wilson That's really cool and I think that's extra special. Thanks for sharing that because there are myself included, you know, many of us that would probably, you know, avoid working with family just because we go. I know you and I know your quirks and I know my quirks and I know how those quirks may not work together so well.   00:03:56:06 - 00:04:18:19 Sam Wilson And I think having, again, just a testament of of what you said there in your bio, you know, building, I think it's the effect of focusing on family and businesses that I can't really how I read it. But anyway, it ties into what you were talking about just right there that your kids were able to move in with you, your grandkids were able to move in with you for nine months, and you look back on that time fondly.   00:04:18:19 - 00:04:29:05 Sam Wilson That's really, really cool. How does that how does that kind of approach to life impact or how has it impacted the way you do business entirely?   00:04:29:12 - 00:04:47:09 Larry Dorfman I mean, literally entirely. It's it's such a great question. I mean, what a great question. I don't we don't really look at business in person. You know, if I ever wrote a book, it would be called It's More Personal Than that because it's only business. It's not personal is probably the biggest load of you know what I mean?   00:04:47:09 - 00:05:12:12 Larry Dorfman History, because we live our lives and it's one life. And in the time that we have is, you know, it's all mixed together all the time. So it's not about balancing work life. It's just balancing life, right? And so about 12 or 15 years ago, you are very A-plus personality drive in a business from 1984 to call it 12 or 15 years ago, when I always stayed very engaged with my kids.   00:05:12:12 - 00:05:31:05 Larry Dorfman But when I started to realize that hammer and that nail all day long wasn't getting what we wanted, it was it was actually causing things to slow down in the business. You know, we became an org chart with almost 300 people on it, 280 people on it with me in the middle and everything going through it. And that really doesn't work.   00:05:31:05 - 00:05:53:24 Larry Dorfman And so I picked up a book suggested to me by a very dear friend and client of mine called Traction by Gino Whitman. And man, I'll tell you what, we took that thing it was intended to be for, you know, companies with 10 to 50 people. We tripled the business in about four years after starting it. And and it really gave us a process that mixed into our philosophy.   00:05:54:00 - 00:06:15:24 Larry Dorfman We had a really good culture already. We we believe in treating people well, but when someone died, we'd still be hammered, right? Well, it wasn't done because there was no process to execute. So once we got a really solid execution process in place, it just made being nicer to each other and having more compassion in our requests. Understanding when somebody failed, helping them succeed.   00:06:15:24 - 00:06:20:13 Larry Dorfman After that, it just turned into another thing. And we got we got bigger and bigger.   00:06:21:09 - 00:06:41:22 Sam Wilson That's amazing. That's amazing. Yeah. And that book certainly is at the top of the list of, you know, books recommended on this show for people, people looking to scale their businesses. I want to come back and talk more about the culture side of your business here in a little bit. But you had it sounded like I mean, a company with 300 plus people in it.   00:06:41:22 - 00:06:44:09 Sam Wilson That's it's a sizable operation.   00:06:44:23 - 00:07:13:21 Larry Dorfman You're lucky it had about 526 and 19. And today I think that probably together they just made an acquisition, maybe another 250. Wow. So, you know, it's a good sized company. It's been around a long time because anytime you stay more than five years, ten years, 20 now, 30 something at this point in the culture that business was was built on the basis of what's called an inverted pyramid, where a service organization where the CEO and the key team are at the bottom.   00:07:14:22 - 00:07:34:02 Larry Dorfman And instead of sitting at the top of this org chart looking down at people, you know, I can't even I can't even hear the term push it down through the organization. I just for a while, oh, I want to look up and help the next group of people above us have the resources and things they need right to do their job and get out their way.   00:07:34:03 - 00:07:49:03 Larry Dorfman And then they need to do the same thing because at the end, the big wide party is the one that's touching the customer. Yeah. That's who you need to listen to respect the most and and really get your feedback from to see how your business runs. And so that's sort of the kind of culture we built.   00:07:49:19 - 00:08:09:08 Sam Wilson Yeah. And that was something I got. I'll go back to a story I read on Southwest Airlines. Now, of course, they've had their fair share of trouble here recently, but this was maybe 30 years ago and it was kind of a revolutionary thing they did. They went out to the flight lines and they talked to all the baggage handlers, they talked to the mechanics, they talked to all the people going, Hey, how can we make this thing better?   00:08:09:08 - 00:08:29:15 Sam Wilson And then the treasure trove of information that they gleaned from that study really changed the trajectory of their business. So I like that idea of the inverted org chart. You've been in real estate all these years. You go into retirement and your son comes to you and he says, Hey, I got something cool. This is what I want your help with.   00:08:29:16 - 00:08:31:24 Sam Wilson How is it different and what is it?   00:08:32:21 - 00:08:37:19 Larry Dorfman Yeah. So first of all, I was in real estate. It was actually an automotive business. I was investing in real estate with Daniel.   00:08:38:05 - 00:08:38:15 Sam Wilson Got it.   00:08:38:18 - 00:08:59:02 Larry Dorfman Okay. Been doing syndicated deals. He Daniel 13, 14 years ago every dollar his wife would collect, they bought another one, another rental, the typical bill one at a time basis until they had a portfolio of 23 homes. He was trying to build, you know, passive income to where he wouldn't have to work at all. But he has a little fire in him.   00:08:59:02 - 00:09:20:13 Larry Dorfman So that didn't work out too well. He just kept on going. And then so when I stepped out, you know, we had I probably was involved with six or seven properties with them. So I watched and seen his particular extraordinary talent to buy property in a way that is a win for everybody. But still to buy back a market because like the U.S. car business, the real estate business is no different.   00:09:20:13 - 00:09:35:02 Larry Dorfman You make your money when you buy the property. Now, when you sell it right, you're going to sell it when you own it already, you can take your time and sell it to the person who wants it and you make the money. And it makes in most markets, if you have if your patient has some capital, you can stay longer, write songs, it's rented.   00:09:35:02 - 00:09:51:01 Larry Dorfman You're fine buying it, though. Too many people hurry to buy what they want because they just need to have out of the property. They got 60 grand. They want to make a down payment on. Hopefully they got that many people buy with too little and then they end up with a property that they didn't really evaluate and they end up stuck with that.   00:09:51:06 - 00:10:10:22 Larry Dorfman Right. So I watched Daniel do that. When he came to me with this idea, I thought, Wow, this is different. So I'll answer that question. What's different about it over the years? You know, we have some experience with a lot of residents living in our properties and what it's like to turn the property and the maintenance costs and all those pieces.   00:10:11:19 - 00:10:36:12 Larry Dorfman The Daniel's main theory at Root's investment community was, what if you actually engage the resident who lives in the property? I mean, people call them tenants, right? Yeah. Well, you call them tenants and you treat them like tenants. You're going to have a tenement when you get it back. And it's going to be you know, if you talk to workforce housing, people and ask them how often they get their security deposit back, it is almost zero.   00:10:37:23 - 00:10:58:23 Larry Dorfman Our our estimates are 81% of the time. They get nothing. And the other 19, maybe something or occasionally at all, they don't believe they're going to get it back. So they live in it like they're not going to get it back. Daniel's theory was, how do you increase the value of the asset for the investor? Well, bring the resident in and let them be an investor.   00:10:59:07 - 00:11:31:02 Larry Dorfman Let them actually own not just a piece of that property, but a piece of an entire real estate fund that happens at this point to be based in Atlanta, where take their security deposit instead of calling a security deposit from an investment deposit. And it's invested into the privately held right our roots investment community that is a reg fund registered with the SEC so that anybody non-accredited investors can invest as little as $100 and get in, let those people invest.   00:11:31:02 - 00:11:51:18 Larry Dorfman Let them start to make the same returns as the people who invested to buy the buildings, and you'll get a better return our cost return in our property. Same is one third, one third of what it used to be before residents were engaged. And so these residents literally live in the properties like they own it because they do, they take better care of it and therefore the assets worth.   00:11:53:06 - 00:12:09:24 Sam Wilson That's incredible. I would imagine there would be just some educational hurdles. I love the concept. Right. Because yeah, no, no one no one watches a rental car. Right. But you wash your own car off my own.   00:12:10:04 - 00:12:10:14 Larry Dorfman Lot.   00:12:12:08 - 00:12:37:06 Sam Wilson And it's like I've never washed a rental car. Now I think about it in the same thing for these, you know, residents that you have. But there needs to be some education component because a lot of I'm just, you know, projecting here. But I would imagine that this workforce housing resident doesn't have that typical mindset of how to invest in real estate, how to own part of a company, how to be an owner.   00:12:37:14 - 00:12:39:05 Sam Wilson How do you engage that.   00:12:39:15 - 00:13:07:05 Larry Dorfman You have even know how to own a property, right? So give me an example. The rules are really simple. Live it like you own it as a trademark we've got. And it means that you're going to pay your rent on time. You're going to be a good neighbor because we have duplexes, triplexes, etc. and once a quarter you're going to help us and be the eyes on the property, not as a police person, but as a helper, saying here's a video showing us the inside, the outside of your property.   00:13:07:05 - 00:13:13:22 Larry Dorfman If it's an apartment, it's just the inside, obviously. And you're going to show us anything you think needs work.   00:13:14:07 - 00:13:14:15 Sam Wilson Hmm.   00:13:15:04 - 00:13:28:11 Larry Dorfman By the way, at the same time, you're showing us that you're taking care of it right now. So in these works, so if you see a dark spot in the bathroom, don't ignore that. Don't, don't, don't, don't think. We don't want to know. We do want to know because that could be a water leak for about 150 bucks.   00:13:28:11 - 00:13:50:09 Larry Dorfman Right now, our mold abatement problem for 4000 later on. Right. So when Daniel first said to me, I'm going to do a video every quarter, I said, you're out of your mind, right? We're not going to do that. He says that it is about just what you just said, education. And if we communicate properly, they'll do it. Well, we are in our fourth, seventh.   00:13:50:09 - 00:14:21:05 Larry Dorfman We just finished our seventh quarter nor six quarter in the bond last quarter. First quarter of this year, we had the largest success rate, 83.7% of our residents is right out of 100 doors. Actually, did everything pay the rent on time. We're great neighbors and took the video. And when they do that, they not only get their their reserve that's been put away in their account, they get a $50 rebate rent put in their account every month.   00:14:21:14 - 00:14:42:03 Larry Dorfman Wow. So in a year, let's take a 1400 for a rental. And here they've got 6000 plus the lift of the quarterly dividends. They can either take those dividends in cash or put them back in their account. And the increase in the net asset value of the fund, which has averaged about ten or 11% in the first year and a half per year annually.   00:14:42:15 - 00:15:03:16 Larry Dorfman So in 2022, this fund made 16%, including dividends and that asset value. So we know you've got residents who are involved. Number one big winner story we got, we had a resident come to us. They live in a in a single family home. We're downstairs is is a basement unit. Upstairs is a three bedroom, two back there in the side door entrance, the basement unit.   00:15:03:17 - 00:15:27:09 Larry Dorfman And be honest with you, it wasn't looking that good. Yeah, right. Walk around the path is just a path to the basement. They asked if we would buy them some supplies. We'd reimburse them if they went out and bought the supplies and redid their entryway. I got the pictures yesterday and it's in 260 bucks worth of materials we gave them and they had to put three weekends of work into this thing.   00:15:27:16 - 00:15:57:21 Larry Dorfman Beautiful walkway to chairs, stones. I mean, just, you know, they improved our property. Sure. Right. And they're looking all of them are on a platform, a digital technical platform we built that they can see their growth and see their money. And yes, we're reminded every month and we are educating them. But when you can take a workforce housing person, a rental, a renter who makes 55,000, $60,000, their average savings in the United States, about $600 lifetime savings rate.   00:15:58:05 - 00:16:16:04 Larry Dorfman Our average resident savings over 2800 right now in less than a year and a half. Wow. We have made a shift in their lives and I think everybody that watches this show knows with the pride of ownership of real estate is a part of owning something. They may never own a home, but they own real estate. Right now that is theirs.   00:16:17:00 - 00:16:42:15 Sam Wilson That's really cool. Well, what motivation for those of you are listening to this show to go out and really rethink the way we do resident engagement? I mean, that's that's just a really cool success story. I've got several questions that kind of tie into that though. One of them was an automation question, which I think maybe you answered there, because part of me goes, okay, 100 people send a video every quarter.   00:16:42:15 - 00:16:48:18 Sam Wilson Like, I mean, I'm thinking, how do you track that? How do you tie the right that?   00:16:48:18 - 00:17:12:20 Larry Dorfman Yeah, we're building a technology stack, technology stack, which is critical to what we're doing because, look, we can't own property and do this all over the country. Right? But we can lay a piece of technology over any other landlord who wants to improve their landlord, resident relationship, who wants to have their property better take care of who's willing to not only make money, but make it with their residents.   00:17:12:20 - 00:17:40:17 Larry Dorfman And by the way, you make more when you include everybody. Yeah, right. And then and then there's there's just all we we foresee about a million people on this platform. That is our objective is to help a million people grow. Well, non-accredited investors who haven't been able to get into real estate and residents not only of our properties, but residents of other people's properties who can use this same implementation with the tools needed that we can assist right now.   00:17:40:17 - 00:18:05:14 Sam Wilson I like that because it because there was a here I hear what you're saying. I think you said there's roughly 100 doors right now that you're running this this program on and I kind of just not even back the napkin back of my head Matt said gosh 100 doors. I would think that the overhead of running a reggae fund of kind of doing all of the you know, the tenant where they can look on their phone and say, hey, this is the value of the value of my shares, blah, blah, blah.   00:18:05:16 - 00:18:10:09 Sam Wilson Keeping track of the accounting would become kind of really burdensome at that scale.   00:18:10:18 - 00:18:20:02 Larry Dorfman It is extremely expensive. Yeah, but the barrier to entry to other people who learn about what we're doing and want to do it, we want everybody to do it. We just want to use our technology.   00:18:20:10 - 00:18:31:23 Sam Wilson Right? So you're simultaneously building a you're building a PROPTECH platform, but also building a real estate holdings for you and your son and your family.   00:18:32:10 - 00:18:59:07 Larry Dorfman Well, there is there are over 400 members that have invested in this fund already. Wow. From all over the country, about 90% of them, maybe a little bit more. We raised $11 million since June 1st, of course. But when you talk about scaling, we went to market with no properties. We paid dividends from the first quarter and a 6% dividend rate annually because in a rate, you can make money either lending it as mortgage money or you can do it as is real estate investment.   00:18:59:18 - 00:19:34:22 Larry Dorfman So we took the money that we took in the first quarter, 2.1 million loaned it to our partner company seed, who goes out and buys this property for us, right wires. It fully optimizes. It gets a renter in, it starts gets it. Making money trains the residents because the right residence in his roots bond doesn't buy any properties are fully occupied and paying a 6% plus cash on cash so so that all happens and when you when you have a building that piece the real estate piece is really the the basis upon which we can build the technology to take elsewhere.   00:19:34:22 - 00:20:03:16 Larry Dorfman Because let's say a landlord has properties in in Texas. Right, right. They're not going to go spend the money to be a reggae and do it. We're doing it. It's just not going to happen. Right. But here's the deal. If they're 400 residents, we'll take care of the property they are living in and they can own a piece of a fund that is a nationally accessible fund, you know, under compliant, under SCC Regulation A and they can invest their reserve and earn rental rebates and build wealth.   00:20:03:21 - 00:20:23:19 Larry Dorfman Okay. It's Atlanta, Georgia, one of the best markets in the world. Right. So it's not any different. One of the things we like is it's not a single asset property. Right. I mean, one, asset properties are long holds, right. Can't ask non accredited investors to hold for 3 to 5 seven years. People who invest in roots invest as long as $100.   00:20:23:19 - 00:20:44:07 Larry Dorfman There's no fee to get in. There's no fee to get out unless if you come out in the first year, it's a 6% discount because you're getting paid dividends during that year. If you stay long enough to get capital gains one year, no fee to get out and every quarter you can redeem up to $100,000 any individual. So it's a pretty liquid real estate investment.   00:20:44:16 - 00:21:13:11 Sam Wilson Wow. That's really, really cool, Larry. You guys have put a ton of thought and a bet, a lot of late nights around the kitchen table figuring out how exactly to get this thing done. And I can't imagine the amount of work that's gone into this. What would you say are some of the some of the really things that are things that you feel like you've done really well that others people should emulate when taking on a monumental task of this size like, what's something you said from the outset?   00:21:13:11 - 00:21:15:15 Sam Wilson This is the way we're going to do this and actually get it done.   00:21:16:11 - 00:21:36:15 Larry Dorfman At number one, make your mistakes when you're small. So don't be in a hurry. You know, we we we just we're not going to go out. And this is where one of the problems of institutional investors buying a thousand homes and ended up with 500 of them they need to sell about right now. Right. Right. So for us, we didn't have that wherewithal anywhere, that capability.   00:21:36:15 - 00:21:56:11 Larry Dorfman So we were very, very focused on making all our mistakes while we're small. Yeah, we're still making some mistakes, but when you're writing a piece of technology that you're going to consider to be a fast product, it's going to go national. You got to get all that worked out. So that would be the number one thing. Number two, really build the team.   00:21:56:11 - 00:22:14:14 Larry Dorfman People are everything. They make all the difference. And and I believe very strongly in a friend of mine, Dave Anderson, he's a motivational speaker is also he says our our slowly in fact we haven't made every decision perfectly but when we meet somebody and talk about them coming on our team, they're going to read a couple of books we read.   00:22:14:14 - 00:22:43:05 Larry Dorfman They're going to read our core values, which stand very important for us. They all sit in our wallets. They on our desks. They're going to understand what's expected of them and they're going to tell us what they expect from us. And we're going to live by that together. And, you know, really basically people who will do what they say they're going to do and be accountable to themselves once you get the two things together that and they'll be in a rush to get it done, you can start to build something and a basis upon which you can scale from.   00:22:43:05 - 00:23:02:14 Sam Wilson Larry, I love it. Thank you for taking the time to come on the show today. I've learned so much from you. Certainly learned a ton from you on the examining the landlord and resident relationship, how you guys are tackling that how you guys are making residents part really of what it is that you're doing and making a meaningful difference in their lives, but also improving.   00:23:02:14 - 00:23:14:24 Sam Wilson I mean, just the return profiles of your own properties, I mean, that's just an exceptional win win and it's not something we get to hear about every single day. So that's really cool. I love what you're doing. If our listeners want to get in touch with you and learn more about you, what is the best way to do that?   00:23:15:16 - 00:23:42:05 Larry Dorfman Real simple.

Today's guest is healing workplaces through play and positive psychology. He believes fully embracing your nerdy genius gives you the power to make a difference and change lives. We already have many of the answers we seek, and by simply unleashing our inner child, we can find our purpose and, in turn, help to create a better world. He helps teams build psychological safety and assist individuals in addressing their most significant challenges by embracing a play-oriented approach to work.  He was selected by BambooHR & Engagedly as one of the Top 100 HR Influencers and has been featured in the NY Times, Mashable, Upworthy, Huffpost, Shondaland, & Wired. He has worked with Google, Microsoft, Southwest Airlines, Adobe, the NFL, Amazon, and Facebook, helping their staff infuse more play into their daily lives. As he says, “Work sucks, but it doesn't have to.” Please join me in welcoming Jeff Harry.  In this episode, we discuss: His thoughts on leadership: “The leader is the person everyone gravitates towards. They are the person you want to follow. Almost always, this is not the person with the leadership title.” Why he found trying to be cool exhausting and turned his life towards games and how that connected to his life today. Feeling unseen in the 7th and 8th grades. Starting a leftist magazine while in college at Tufts University. Creating mischief to inspire belonging. Being fully present was how he connected with others. His experience attending a party where he felt the loneliest he ever felt in his life even though he was in the space of acceptance. How he ended up working for a toy company in New York. Why he wants to heal the hardest situations through play, including how to heal your inner critic. How he tried to unionize the flagship Toys R Us store in Manhattan. How he found potential through a Craigslist ad job. Why his bowtie reminds him not to take things seriously. How he picked the different curriculums collaboratively. “We would listen to everyone's opinion.” His time spending five years travelling with Lego. How he started his TikTok during the pandemic and that led to him experimenting with pitching himself to podcasts. How he started getting paid for speaking gigs. How he nurtures and sustains the outer levels of his network. Listen, subscribe, and read show notes at www.OnTheSchmooze.com
