⚡ Flipping the Lender: How to Arbitrage Non-Performing Hard Money Notes for 42%+ Quick PaydaysWelcome back to the 50 Note Deals in 50 Days case study series! In this episode, Scott Carson—"The Note Guy"—uncovers an extraordinary, under-the-radar sector of the distressed debt market: buying non-performing hard money loans directly from institutional portfolios at massive discounts. When a fund broker dropped a list of 29 nationwide hard money defaults on his desk, Scott immediately hopped in his car to personally audit an incredible investment opportunity sitting right in the West Side of San Antonio, Texas. If you are a real estate investor who wants to learn how to transition from a traditional fix-and-flipper to an institutional "Lien Lord," this breakdown reveals the exact blueprint to intercepting foreclosure files. Discover the exact math behind snapping up a $150,500 legal unpaid balance for just $105,000, and how you can manipulate DSCR cash-out refinancing guidelines to print tax-free private wealth without ever lifting a hammer! Let's get into the data.

  Socrates, that wise philosopher of the 5th century BC, said: "The secret of happiness, you see, is not found in seeking more, but in developing the capacity to enjoy less." And the consensus across the centuries has always been clear: happiness isn't a destination you reach by wanting or accumulating more, but a state of mind achieved by reducing what you want. This week, I'm exploring the common problem of wanting to do more and more, yet never finding the time to do what you want.  Links: Email Me | Twitter | Facebook | Website | Linkedin   Learn more about the Perfect Week Calendar Learn more about the Quiet Productivity Method here Get Your Copy Of Your Time, Your Way: Time Well Managed, Life Well Lived   The Working With… Weekly Newsletter Carl Pullein Learning Centre Carl's YouTube Channel Carl Pullein Coaching Programmes Subscribe to my Substack  The Working With… Podcast Previous episodes page Script |424 Hello, and welcome to episode 424 of the Your Time, Your Way Podcast. A podcast to answer all your questions about productivity, time management, self-development, and goal planning. My name is Carl Pullein, and I am your host of this show.  One of the most common questions I get asked is: How do I find the time to do everything I want to do?  And as David Allen said in his book Getting Things Done, you can do anything you want, but not everything.  In other words, you can do all the things you want to do, just not all at once.  This is a problem all humans have faced since the dawn of time: we are limited by the number of hours we have each day.  And before we acknowledged time and dates, we were still limited by daylight hours and the need to sleep.  In many ways, truly understanding that we will always be limited by time is the first step to discovering peace and happiness.  I remember many years ago having an argument with a colleague about why the iPhone's constraints were better than Android's lack of constraints. This was back in the day when you really didn't have many options for what you could add to an iPhone's home screen. The date and time, design, and colours were fixed, and the apps you downloaded were presented as Apple allowed them to be.  Android phones, on the other hand, let you download widgets, move your app icons wherever you wanted, and install thousands of different themes.  What was interesting is that my colleague was always fiddling with his phone. Never being happy with the way his home screen looked.  I had no choice. Which meant I wasn't fiddling with my phone all the time, trying to find the perfect setup and design. I was therefore happy with what I had.  Funnily enough, now that Apple does give us more choice as to how our phone home screens look, I do waste a lot of time trying to find the right colour combinations and layouts. (And I'm still not happy with it!) So with that said, let me hand you over to the Mystery Podcast Voice for this week's question: This week's question comes from Scott. Scott asks: Hi Carl, I have a lot of things I want to do, such as learning to play the guitar, reading more books, and taking my kids out on the weekend. Yet I never have time to do any of these, and when I do, I'm so exhausted that all I want to do is sit and watch TV. It's so frustrating. Do you have any ideas on how to fit all these things into my week? Hi Scott, thank you for your question.  I'm not sure whether you have completed the “Perfect Week” calendar exercise yet, but I would recommend it.  This is an exercise where you take a blank weekly calendar and map out all the things you want to do each week by when you will do them.  Start with your personal life, then add your professional life. I will put a link in the show notes to a video I did on this.  This exercise tells you whether you are being overambitious. You will quickly see if what you want to do is realistic, impossible, or somewhere in between.  What most people find when they do this exercise is that they are being wildly unrealistic.  I'm currently reading Sir Alan Lascelles' diaries from 1940 to 1945. Sir Alan was the Private Secretary to King George VI at that time, and it's interesting to see how he spent his days. Sir Alan loved going to the theatre, gardening and reading books. Those were his main hobbies. However, being a senior member of the Royal Household, he was also in demand from the King and the government of the day.  Yet, what I learned is that even during the war, because his “interests” were small, he was able to maintain all of them.  Take gardening, for example; Sir Alan's home was outside London. So during the week when he was required to stay at Buckingham Palace, he could not attend to his garden. But at weekends, when he was not travelling with the King, he would spend his days pottering about in his garden.  During the week, when he was in London, he would combine lunches and dinners with meetings with government officials, and maintain his social life by going to the theatre with friends and family.  Now, in those days, people engaged in what we would call “knowledge work” today had much more flexible hours.  Most mornings were spent doing their most important work. The work that required focus.  One thing Sir Alan did each day was take a walk with the King for an hour, where they would discuss the affairs of state. In many ways, this was their daily meeting, though neither of them really considered it one.  This walk invariably took place just before lunch.  Lunch, again, was usually business, but occasionally it would be with his wife or son, or a friend.  Afternoons were often meetings, and they ran into dinners. From the diaries, it seemed that most evenings were spent meeting with a colleague or an official to discuss business.  If he didn't have a business meeting in the evening, he would go to the theatre with his wife or a friend.  What's interesting about this way of living is that there were no real-time barriers between work and personal life. Some of those evening meetings went on into the early hours of the morning; other times, if there were no meetings in the afternoon or evening, people would go shopping or take afternoon tea with a family member or friend.  There were instances where an important communique needed to be written, and Sir Alan would be up late at night writing it.  I would say that Sir Alan was working around 50 hours a week, but they were not evenly distributed. Some days he'd work 18 hours, the next maybe only 4.  Our obsession with the “work-life balance” has distorted our lives. Now we are trying to cram so much into our 8-hour work day that we leave ourselves exhausted at the end of it.  There's no energy left to do the things we want to do. All we are fit for is crashing on the sofa and watching TV or scrolling our social media feeds.  What people like Sir Alan did was to spread their work more evenly throughout the day. They would take a walk for an hour mid-morning, have long lunches with friends, have business meetings in the evening over dinner, and often work on an important piece of work late into the night.  Now, it's true that in the 1940s TV was not a thing. All people had for entertainment were the radio and record players. So reading books, going to the theatre with friends, and gardening were likely easy to do. Today, we do not have any more time than they had in the 1940s. We still have the same 24 hours a day.  What has changed is we have far more options than they had.  And that's where the problem is. It's not time. It's the options we have.  The activities you mention, Scott, should be entirely possible. Spending an hour or so each evening playing the guitar should not be a challenge; neither should reading a book for 30 minutes before bed.  If you were to get home around 7:00 pm, have dinner with your family, and then practice the guitar around 8:30, would that be impossible?  If not, what would you do instead after dinner?  Likewise, if you want to take your kids out at the weekend, what's stopping you? What are you doing instead?  One of the best things I've ever done was to strip out the artificial lines between doing my work and my personal life.  Now, I do my most important work in the mornings and, wherever I can, avoid meetings at that time. I keep the afternoons relatively free for chores and family outings and do some work between 8 and 10 pm. That could be meetings, project work, or dealing with my communications and admin. I've recently started reading books for 30 minutes or so after lunch. I find it refreshes me, and I'm ready for whatever's in store for me in the afternoons. I used to read the news or look at social media at that time, which often drained me mentally. Reading a book does the opposite.  I've noticed that with my team too.  We don't have any regulated work times in the company. People can work whenever they feel like it. My Marketing Manager likes to do her work early in the morning; my video editor prefers the evenings.  We work on timelines. For example, I supply my video editor with that week's videos on a Wednesday afternoon, and she has until Sunday evening to complete the edits.  As the boss, the only thing I care about is receiving the edited videos no later than Sunday evening.  The final issue most people face is wanting to do too much.  Reading Dorothy L. Sayers' Lord Peter Wimsey books, we learn that Lord Peter had two hobbies. Playing the piano and collecting books. When he's had an exhausting day or was stressed about something, he would either pick up a book or play the piano. They were his go-to relaxation methods.  What do we do today? We get ourselves stressed out because we want to learn to play the violin, take up pickleball, go to the movies with our friends or our partner, learn to cook, clean out the wardrobe, redecorate the bedroom, read more books, and write in a journal every day.  Well, you can do any of those things, just not all of them all at the same time.  The problem is when we are faced with too many choices, we end up doing none of them. Instead, we'll end up crashed in an armchair scrolling.  One thing you can do if you have multiple things you want to do is divide them into seasons.  For example, if gardening is something you want to do, you could spend your time gardening on longer, warmer days. On the colder, shorter days, you could switch to indoor activities.  So Scott, first I would suggest doing the “perfect Week” calendar. That will tell you how much time you actually have for all the things you want to do.  Then be a little more flexible with how you divide your time in the day. Squeezing all your work tasks into a single 8-hour slot is exhausting. Try to break up your day with longer breaks. I know not everyone can do that, but it is something worth trying if you can. You'll be a lot less exhausted in the evenings.  Finally, be realistic about what you want to do. Remember you can do anything, but you cannot do everything.  I hope that has helped. Thank you for your question, and thank you to you too for listening. It just remains for me now to wish you all a very, very productive week.   

Squeezing in “just one more patient.” It feels responsible. It feels like good service. But it quietly keeps you trapped trading time for money — and it steals the hours you need to fix the real problems in the business. I'll share a story from this week that proves it, then I'll break down the mindset behind it and give you a simple way to protect CEO time so your podiatry clinic can actually grow.

The World Cup has kicked off, with three red cards and a win for co-hosts Mexico while the USA face Paraguay later, but President Donald Trump is set not to attend America's opening game. Before a ball was even kicked, this tournament wasn't short of controversies, from strict border controls and eye-watering ticket prices to the prospect of two countries who are at war with each other playing a game of football. So, has the beautiful game's biggest tournament become impossible to separate from global politics? Is this simply the reality of staging a World Cup across borders in an increasingly divided world - or are the doubters right that this World Cup could be spoiled by the drama off the pitch?On this episode of The Fourcast, Krishnan Guru-Murthy was joined by our sports reporter Jordan Jarrett-Bryan, superfan Billy The Bee who is in Mexico right now and will head to America to follow England's games and journalist Marcela Mora y Araujo.

Fire up the grill and grab a fresh pistachio muffin, because the What's on Your Mind show is broadcasting live from the Petro Serve USA station in beautiful Harwood, North Dakota. Host Scott kicks off a packed Friday Talk Radio Town Hall with U.S. Senator Kevin Kramer, diving headfirst into the high-stakes chess match with Iran, the real motives keeping the Strait of Hormuz tight, and whether it's time to "finish the job". Scott also gets remarkably candid about his recent travels to Norway, sparking an evolutionary look at America's food supply and the growing "Make America Healthy Again" movement. Later in the hour, the studio turns into an international stage. We sit down with four legal Persian-Iranian student and employment visa holders who share harrowing, first-hand accounts of the murderous regime back home, detailing the absolute gravity of public executions, internet blackouts, and the unintended fallout of the administration's recent sweeping visa pause. Scott gives a passionate call to action, offering listeners the exact blueprint to bypass the gatekeepers and let their voices be heard in Congress. Plus, we recap world-class insights from the Williston Basin Petroleum Conference with American Petroleum Institute CEO Mike Sommers, who lays out why AI, natural gas, and Interior Secretary Doug Burgum are the key trifecta to winning the global tech race against China. Finally, we wrap up with an inspiring "Feel Good Friday" segment featuring Tracy Allen, founder of Amistad Worldwide, to explore how a grassroots North Dakota charity is rescuing castaway orphans and abandoned widows in India and Nepal through the power of clean water and local sewing centers. Standout Moments & Timestamps [00:01:25] Bullying the Globe for 50 Years: Senator Kevin Kramer breaks down the fundamental challenges of negotiating with a regime whose soldiers value dying more than living, exploring Trump's refusal to sign a weak, Obama-style nuclear clock-runner.

Live from the exhibit floor of the Williston Basin Petroleum Conference in beautiful Bismarck, North Dakota, this episode kicks off a massive three-day broadcast celebrating 75 years of the historic Bakken play. Host Scott Hennen balances his jet lag from a recent trip to Norway with full-throttle interviews featuring the absolute heaviest hitters in global energy, aerospace technology, and state legislation.   First, Bernie Bourgeois from Chevron details the multi-billion-dollar acquisition of Hess and breaks down how cutting-edge "chemical EOR" literally washes subterranean rock to maximize American energy prosperity. Then, legendary local public servant Lynn Helms uses a pizza analogy to explain why the U.S. is barely on "first base" when it comes to oil recovery. State Representative Mike Nathy takes us inside the legislative trenches to expose the real economic data surrounding data centers and look ahead to a critical upcoming Republican primary. Finally, we talk to UND aviation graduate Grayson Miller about real-world life-and-death drone warfare, tracking how elite Ukrainian "Spider Web" drone swarms managed to set the Russian military back by multiple decades.   Standout Moments & Timestamps [43:00] Squeezing the Shale: Bernie Bourgeois from Chevron explains the global integrated brand's massive production footprint, moving four million barrels of oil a day around the world.   [43:42] Washing the Subterranean Stone: Bourgeois delivers a fascinating technical breakdown of Chemical Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR), detailing how specialized solvents act just like hand soap to alter rock characteristics and make oil more "slippery".   [44:11] Unconventional Permeability: A masterclass in geology as Bernie describes tight rock unconventional formations, explaining that the microscopic pore spaces in shale are less permeable than a kitchen granite countertop.   [44:31] The Emerging Argentine Frontier: Chevron's shale general manager maps out the world's top shale assets, crowning West Texas's Permian Basin a behemoth while identifying Argentina as the next massive global resource destination.   [45:34] Seven Slices of Pizza: Former Director of Mineral Resources Lynn Helms stuns the hosts by revealing that current technology has only extracted a meager 15% of the oil trapped in the Bakken and Three Forks formations—declaring that nobody would buy a pizza, eat one slice, and throw the rest away.   [45:54] Geological Records vs. Extinction Climate: Helms cuts through standard political rhetoric to discuss real geological history, noting that the Earth's climate has constantly shifted across millennia and tracking how special interest groups managed to weaponize the education…

It's never funny when a worker is injured on the job, but some cases do raise eyebrows. In their annual look into some “unusual” Workers' Comp cases, Jud and Alan uncover some incidents that challenged the system, some by just being so weird. Where did my ladder go? A worker on a rooftop was stuck when others removed the ladder and left the job. Desperate to get down, he jumped, suffering back and foot injuries. Is the worker to be blamed for intentionally jumping, or was he left with no choice?  The falling clipboard case. From the Supreme Court of Idaho, a helicopter pilot died in a crash when a passenger dropped a clipboard that struck the tail rotor and damaged it. Who's liable? What's an accident, and where does civil liability intersect with Workers' Comp? A tryst in France, during a work trip, and the ensuing heart attack? Squeezing an oversized customer into a tiny mermaid-style wedding dress? Messing around with a flammable can of tire glue (at work)? Just as workers do unusual things, the courts also rule in unexpected ways. We can all learn from cases like these.

Rabobank's Head of Research for South America, Andy Duff, discusses the impact of rising diesel prices on sugar, grain, and soybean production. As Brazil relies heavily on long‑distance truck transport to move agricultural products inland, logistics costs can negatively impact Brazilian farm margins. Sugar prices have been on a roller-coaster ride in recent weeks, and Andy explains why the high probability of an El Niño event is a key price driver to watch.   Disclaimer: Please refer to our global RaboResearch disclaimer at https://www.rabobank.com/knowledge/disclaimer/011417027/disclaimer for information about the scope and limitations of the material published on the podcast.

“Mommy and daddy would always bring home boring notebooks, pens, and chargers with company names on them, but that would just go in the trash. But why not stuffies? You never throw stuffies away.” Quincy Fuller is 8 and already delivering that line like he spent too much time in pitch meetings. He and his 10-year-old brother, Jackson, are co-CEOs of Stuffers, a family-run business that makes custom stuffies, or plush toys, for corporate swag. Their customers include companies like Reddit and marketing agency New Engen. Their office is their play room. Their design team includes an AI model. Their first-year revenue: $100,000.  That makes the Fuller siblings a case study for the "AI-native" generation, one where the gap between a child's imagination and the finished product has effectively vanished. In previous decades, kids' entrepreneurship was limited by what they could do physically. Delivering newspapers. Squeezing lemons for lemonade. Mowing lawns. But with AI, the internet, and parents handling the adult work, the gap between a kid's idea and a manufacturable product has dramatically narrowed.

The U.S. blockade of Iranian ports in the Strait of Hormuz is aimed at squeezing Iran's economy by millions in daily oil imports and exports. As the blockade continues, the State Department hosted the first round of negotiations between Israel and Lebanon as senior Hezbollah officials announced they will not abide by any agreements made in the negotiations. Meanwhile, Pakistan has proposed hosting a second round of U.S.-Iran talks in Islamabad this week, just ahead of the current ceasefire expiring. FOX's John Saucier speaks with Behnam Ben Taleblu, Senior Fellow at the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies and Senior Director of FDD's Iran program, who says the actions taken in the Strait have been a possible bargaining tool against Tehran for a while, but only now has been a real option.

Article text: David Stokes Was Right: Property Tax Caps Are Squeezing Local Budgets Nationwide By Patrick Tuohey Property tax relief has become a rallying cry for state policymakers across the country. Frustration over rising home values and the cost of living has driven lawmakers in states including Indiana, Ohio, and Wyoming to enact sweeping property tax cuts in recent sessions. But while these measures may look attractive on the campaign trail, they are already putting real strain on local governments that depend on property taxes to fund schools, public safety, and other essential services. An article in the publication Governing titled “State Property Tax Relief Pushes Local Budgets to the Brink” highlights this emerging dynamic. Lawmakers in several states have pursued homeowner tax credits, rate caps, or other limitations without fully compensating counties, cities, and school districts for the revenue they lose. The result? Significant budget shortfalls, belt-tightening by local governments, and even more political pressure from local leaders to revisit state legislation cutting their revenue. These developments matter to Missouri because they illustrate the unintended consequences of well-meaning tax cuts. As my colleague David Stokes has written in testimony before the Missouri Legislature, Missouri depends on property taxes to fund local services efficiently, and ill-designed state interventions can do more harm than good. Stokes emphasized that “Missouri's property assessment and tax system needs reforms, but efforts to reduce it dramatically or eliminate it entirely go too far,” and that the state should not trade one revenue problem for another by hollowing out the tax base localities rely on. What's happening outside of Missouri mirrors Stokes' concerns. In Indiana, a roughly $1.2 billion homeowner tax relief package enacted in 2025 will cost local governments an estimated $1.5 billion over three years, forcing many towns and counties to cut services or revise budgets mid-cycle. Wyoming's 25 percent cut on assessed home value for tax purposes similarly leaves schools—which receive roughly 70 percent of property tax revenue—scrambling to balance their books. Stokes has warned that limiting property tax growth without careful policy design reduces the property tax base, shifting the burden to other, more distortionary taxes. He argues that property taxes—particularly on land and real estate—are among the least harmful taxes to economic growth compared with income or sales taxes. Wholesale caps or freezes discourage local fiscal responsibility. Missouri's recent property tax changes—including the creation of “zero percent” and “five percent” counties where valuations can't drive tax increases without voter approval—reflect a similar temptation to cut taxes without addressing the broader revenue implications. Stokes has noted that such approaches may do little to improve fairness while shrinking the tax base that supports schools and local services. If policymakers in the Show-Me State pay attention to the experience of other states, they'll proceed with caution. Cutting property taxes without sustainable alternate revenue exacerbates budget stress for counties and schools and shifts costs to taxes that are more damaging to growth, such as income or sales taxes. Ensuring that relief targets those most in need—as opposed to broad caps that change how local governments fund core services—preserves local autonomy and avoids the fiscal cliff other states are now confronting. Missouri's leaders should focus on reforms that improve fairness and economic efficiency—not simply reducing bills at the expense of services Missourians value. Produced by Show-Me Opportunity

Interesting Superbowl facts/ Laura's game.

Hey GIGI kids, Today we have a beautiful Bible story about a woman called Dorcas - you can find her story in the Bible in Acts 9:39-42. Here is a sneak peek.... Days passed, and Cyrus and his mother waited anxiously for Dorcas to send word that she had completed the dress. But the only news they got was that Dorcas was very sick. "Oh, no!" Cyrus' mother sobbed. "Poor Dorcas! She has done so much to help everyone in this village; there must be something we can do to help her." Cyrus and his mother walked through the city to Dorcas' house so that they could cheer her up with kind words and some flowers that Cyrus had picked from the garden. When they reached the house, Cyrus saw that Dorcas' small bedroom was already crowded with local people who had come to visit her and pray for her. Squeezing into the house, they found a spot where they could see Dorcas. She was lying very still on her bed. Her skin was burning up with fever, and she let out a dreadful cough. Her face looked thin and pale, and Cyrus could tell that she was very sick indeed. What happened next? To find out, find a comfortable spot and listen to the episode. _____________________________________________________ Story by: Ashlee Price  READ STORY ON THE BLOG VISIT OUR WEBSITES SHOP OUR BOOKS SHOP OUR AUDIOBOOKS Special effect editing: James Wagner  Music credit: http://www.purple-planet.com/  Email us: stories4gigi@gmail.com Write to us: GIGI KIDS STORIES PO BOX 6505 Upper Mt Gravatt Queensland Australia 4122

Find out how to improve blood sugar control and stop making common blood sugar mistakes! In this video, we'll cover 13 blood sugar mistakes to avoid, along with the best blood sugar management tips for healthy blood sugar levels. 0:00 Introduction: Stop making blood sugar mistakes!0:25 High blood sugar explained2:41 Insulin resistance and diabetes5:47 Common blood sugar regulation mistakes 12:22 How to lower blood sugar naturally14:05 More blood sugar management tips Did you know that all of the blood in your body should only contain a single teaspoon of sugar? Our bodies tightly regulate the amount of sugar in our blood at any given time. If you have prediabetes, that number rises to 1.5 teaspoons. With diabetes, the blood contains 2 teaspoons of sugar. The average person consumes between 50 and 100 teaspoons of sugar every day. Insulin removes the sugar from your blood and converts it to fat or stored sugar in the liver and muscles. The body only needs a tiny amount of sugar (which the liver can make on its own), so we don't actually need to consume any sugar at all. Chronic excessive sugar consumption can lead to the development of insulin resistance, which is at the root of many chronic diseases.Improve blood sugar control by avoiding these common mistakes when testing your blood sugar. 1. Not washing your hands2. Using alcohol wipes incorrectly 3. Using expired strips4. Hot sauna or cold plunge before testing5. Tylenol usage6. Taking vitamin C and other supplements 7. Squeezing fingers8. Using different fingers 9. Using continuous glucose monitors 10. Testing at high altitudes11. Drinking coffee 12. Checking glucose in the morning 13. DehydrationAn A1C test measures the average blood sugar over a period of 3 months. Several factors, including ethnicity, anemia, and diet, can affect these results. The liver is at the root of the problem when it comes to type 2 diabetes. Fortunately, a low-carb diet with intermittent fasting can quickly eliminate liver fat and correct insulin resistance and diabetes.To further support healthy blood sugar levels, try the following:•Consistent exercise •Apple cider vinegar diluted in water before meals•Morning walks•Berberine •Get plenty of sleep•Reduce stress levels•Increase sunlight exposureDr. Eric Berg DC Bio:Dr. Berg, age 60, is a chiropractor who specializes in Healthy Ketosis & Intermittent Fasting.

The fellas sat down with former NFL long snapper, Vanderbilt grad, PhD candidate, and full-time force of nature, Andrew East. Dave kicks things off by recounting his extremely awkward cornhole tournament experience, a moment of social anxiety where he suddenly found himself in a new "gauntlet" of gigantic, ripped athletes.Andrew then dives deep into the absurdity of competing on Special Forces: World's Toughest Test alongside his Olympic gold medalist wife, Shawn Johnson. He reveals the terror of backing out of shrinking tunnels and the grueling 15-hour interrogation where they were put in stress positions while listening to "pigs getting slaughtered."Andrew shares why the zero-to-one jump was the hardest identity shift, leading him and Shawn to intensive counseling after having their third child. Plus, hear Andrew's "free-range parenting" philosophy and why elite athletes often adopt a "relaxed posture" toward sports. It's a rollercoaster ride from awkward cornhole to the torture chamber!
