In this episode of the It’s Going Down podcast, we present a recording from a recent speaking tour of the Pacific Northwest featuring authors Jarrod Shanahan and Zhandarka Kurti, who discuss their new book, States of Incarceration: Rebellion, Reform, and America’s Punishment System.

The study and analysis of Great Power Competition is all the vogue in international relations and foreign policy circles. And understandably so, the rise of China, the actions of Russia and America's approach to geo-politics are indeed setting the conditions in which some big global shifts are playing out. But that does not mean one should ignore the role that small states are playing in international politics. If you overlook small states, you are missing a complete picture of international relations today.  My guest today, Tom Long is author of the book  "A Small State's Guide to Influence in World Politics" and associate professor of international relations at the University of Warwick.  He studies how smaller states have successfully shaped internationally affairs to their advantage.

And as always, I am your host, Teresa Heath-Wareing. So how are you doing this week? I'm about to enter a very busy season in my business. I have a number of speaking gigs, both here in the UK and in the States. I have, a number of in-person events where I've put on the events and it's just gonna be a crazy few weeks. So I am hoping to batch my podcast so I get them all done ready for me not being around so much. Which is the beauty of having the business that I have, is that I can batch ahead. I can get things ready and I don't have to do so much while I'm away, which is less about taking time off and more about being able to focus on the things that I've gotta do. I dunno about you, but I always tell myself like if I'm at an event, oh, I can do that while I'm there. No, it's absolutely rubbish. I absolutely cannot do things while I'm there. I think I can. I can't. So it's just best if I plan to not actually be around or not actually have to do anything, and then I can do it. Just spend the time focusing on the event. So today I wanna talk about sales and coaching business owners and talking to business owners inevitably at some point most months it comes up that some of my members are struggling and they're struggling to get sales. And I think it's naive of us to think that that won't happen or never happens or isn't the case for most businesses because it is. There are points where...

Darkness Radio presents: Crop Circles: Exposing The Secret Language Of The Dragon with Paranormal Researcher/Author/Filmmaker, LA Marzulli! L.A. Marzulli is a frank super-naturalist who lectures on the subjects of UFOs, the Nephilim, and ancient prophetic texts, presenting his exhaustive research at conferences and churches, and through media appearances and interviews on numerous national and international radio and television programs.

States are central to climate and energy policy. After the failure of the Waxman-Markey climate bill in 2010, states carried the torch of climate policy during the long decade that Democrats were locked out of majority power in Washington, DC. Now that Dems have actually passed some federal policy — and they are unlikely to pass any more anytime soon — states are once again in the spotlight, tasked with implementing that legislation to maximize its effect.This raises the obvious question of whether states have the administrative capacity — the people, institutions, time, and money — necessary to implement ambitious federal legislation competently.They do not, says Sam Ricketts, but they could, and there are federal programs that can help them get there.Nobody is better positioned than Ricketts to address the issue of state readiness. He played a key role in Jay Inslee's pathbreaking presidential campaign, which was built off of successful policies in Washington and other states. Then, as senior strategist for Evergreen Action, a nonprofit he founded with other Inslee veterans, he helped shape the ambitious trio of bills the Democrats have passed in the last year and a half: the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, the CHIPS act, and the Inflation Reduction Act (or as advocates fondly refer to them, Uncles Bill, Chip, and Ira). Now he's working with Evergreen and the Center for American Progress to educate and prepare state and local lawmakers for the post-IRA world.I've known Ricketts for years, and there's nobody who better balances detailed knowledge of policy with a practical head for advocacy and activism. I'm excited to talk to him about the crucial role states will play in coming years, the kind of administrative capacity they will need, and the types of federal programs that can fund their capacity building.

This week's guest is Josh de Keijzer, PhD. Josh writes at After God's End: Fragments of a Post-Christian narrativeJosh grew up in an evangelical home in the Netherlands. He knew his family was “set apart,” different from the mainstream Dutch culture.“I realized…I had been brought up as an evangelical…We were always part of a minority.”As a teenager, Josh took his faith seriously, so he had a hard time with the adults in the church. Their actions did not line up with what they believed, and the hypocrisy was rampant.Josh always wanted to visit the US and was able to attend university and seminary in the States. In seminary, the questions really began. “[I was at] a solidly evangelical seminary but there were plenty of people who did a lot of questioning. I have to credit them for opening my eyes…”Josh's questions led him out of the Christian church, but he hasn't given up on spirituality. He gives meaning to his life by living with compassion and love for others, and what a beautiful thing to behold.LinksSubstackhttps://joshdekeyzer.substack.com/Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/aftergodsend/InteractFor quotes, recommendations, transcripts and more see the full episode show noteshttps://gracefulatheist.com/2023/05/14/josh-de-keijzer-after-gods-end/Join the Deconversion Anonymous Facebook grouphttps://www.facebook.com/groups/deconversionSupport the podcast on Patreonhttps://www.patreon.com/gracefulatheistSecular Gracehttps://gracefulatheist.com/2016/10/21/secular-grace/Deconversionhttps://gracefulatheist.com/2017/12/03/deconversion-how-to/Deconstructionhttps://gracefulatheist.com/2017/12/03/deconversion-how-to/#deconstruction/Attribution"Waves" track written and produced by Makaih Beatshttps://makaihbeats.net/

States and individuals can stop a CBDC. It's going to take hard work - and good strategy. The latter, we've got from the “father of the Constitution” - who gave us a four-step blueprint to stop federal programs without relying on the federal government to magically limit its own power. The post James Madison vs a Central Bank Digital Currency first appeared on Tenth Amendment Center.

States are pushing back against this radical agenda. Constitutional expert, lawyer, author, pastor, and founder of Liberty Counsel Mat Staver discusses the important topics of the day with co-hosts and guests that impact life, liberty, and family. To stay informed and get involved - visit LC.org

In this episode, Jeff and Brian discuss: The employment landscape in financial advising. Escaping a captive work model. The biggest benefits and risks in transitioning out of a firm. Managing compliance.   Key Takeaways: There is no indentured servitude. Anyone in a captive work model is able to leave, but you need to understand the risks and plan accordingly. States and firms will vary on what is allowed during an exit or transition. Have a plan and stick to that plan. People are the greatest risk to a plan because they are likely to deviate from those solid plans. You need someone objective to look at your business to avoid conflict of interest and close the risk gaps.   "As transitions get larger and more complex with more people involved, it's really important to ensure that everyone is operating in lockstep and in alignment with one another because the success or failure of these transitions is often determined by the weakest link." —  Brian Hamburger Connect with Brian Hamburger: Website: https://marketcounsel.com/Website: https://hamburgerlaw.com/Website: https://about.me/hdeluxLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/hamburger/Twitter: https://twitter.com/HDeluxTwitter: https://twitter.com/MarketCounsel  Connect with Jeffrey Concepcion: Website: https://www.stratoswealthpartners.comContact: https://www.stratoswealthpartners.com/contactTwitter: https://twitter.com/Stratos_WealthFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/stratoswealthpartnersLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeffconcepcion1/

On this Foundations of Freedom Thursday, we take some time to address listener questions- Is there anything in the constitution preventing states from printing their own currency? How can we consider letting each state set up their own policies, when there are big issues such as abortion and mutilation of children that should not be permitted in any situation? With such divisive issues at play, is civil war inevitable? People quote Jefferson as saying that Christianity cannot be a part of the common law. Is this accurate? And if so, what does it mean?

Before she was the 23rd U.S. Poet Laureate, Joy Harjo's journey as an artist began at a federal Indian boarding school. She reveals an unexpected perspective about her experience. Joy Harjo is an internationally renowned performer and writer of the Muscogee (Creek) Nation. She served three terms as the 23rd Poet Laureate of the United States from 2019-2022. Her new children's book, Remember (Penguin Random House, 2023), is an adaption of her famous poem by the same name. That poem was one of the first Joy ever wrote, almost 40 years ago. Today, her book invites readers to pause and reflect on the wonder of the world around us, and our place in it.  Joy joins host Kai Wright to discuss the poem and reflect on her own career and inspirations. Those inspirations include her fellow students at the Institute of American Indian Arts, a Bureau of Indian Affairs School. Her honesty reveals an unexpected perspective to the nuanced conversation about a difficult history.  Companion listening for this episode:  Tell Me Your Politics–But Do It In Verse (4/17/2023) In a world that feels divided, two storytellers invite people to share what shapes their politics through poetry, using the prompt “Where I'm From.” “Notes from America” airs live on Sunday evenings at 6pm ET.

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – As a fan of the Science Fiction genre for decades, I've read several books and seen several movies where the protagonist ends up in a parallel universe or another timeline where things look the same but are completely different. That's exactly how I feel when I look at America today, the buildings look the same, but...

Air Date 5/9/2023 Today, we take a look at the hyper-polarization of our era and the anti-democratic instincts of the right taking hold in state legislatures. Building on a decade of gerrymandering and voter suppression within a structurally undemocratic American system that has helped Republicans create minority rule in many places and unearned super-majorities in others, they have now turned to simply ejecting their elected political opponents from fully representing their constituents.

“Forwards” For more than 40 years the Welsh band the Alarm have been one of the most consistent acts on the planet, playing songs with conviction, heart and belief. With almost 20 studio albums under their belts, along with a discography that includes live albums, box sets and EPs, The Alarm are one of those bands where you pretty much want everything they put out. From albums like Declaration to Strength to their brand new one Forwards, The Alarm are a completist's band. Speaking of Forwards, it's a remarkable record—singer/songwriter Mike Peters has never sounded better, his voice alive with muscle and belief. The Welsh band have had a remarkable career that's filled with endless highlights-- they toured with U2 and Bob Dylan, played at Queen's Live at Wembley concert in 1986, been on IRS's the Cutting Edge and American Bandstand, had hit singles all over the world even cracking the Billboard Top 50 here in the States, and wrote a song that became the official Welsh anthem for Euro 2020. This is a band that's all about community, support and they remain as vital as ever. www.thealarm.com www.bombshellradio.com www.stereoembersmagazine.com www.alexgreenonline.com www.embersarts.com Stereo Embers: Twitter: @emberseditor IG: @emberspodcast Email: editor@stereoembersmagazine.com

Not so fun fact: there have been 200 mass shootings which have claimed over 11,000 lives in the United States this year. For those counting, we're at 130 days this year which means we're averaging more than one shooting a day. Those numbers ARE. NOT. O. K. Gun violence needs to end in this country and I feel something I can do is remind my listeners about the stories of survivors and victims. Brenda Spencer is known as the mother of school shootings. Hopefully by hearing her story, we do not forget the lives of the victims of Grover Cleveland Elementary School.

Check it out below: 00:00:00:02 - 00:00:18:02 Ben Pleat We really started building that into the software to enable residents to do that themselves. So for residents to create their own book clubs, for residents to create their own morgan groups, for residents to help other neighbors and do it in a way that was kind of crowdsourced. Right? That was organic. So our communities in Austin, Texas, are completely different than our communities in South Florida.   00:00:18:02 - 00:00:37:02 Ben Pleat Completely different. Our communities. And, you know, Georgia, every community is unique in that way. What's not unique is the kind of attributes and pillars to how community building happens. So that's kind of the same. Obviously, the platform that delivers it is the same, but the actual content, the actual groups, the actual ways that residents engage the neighbors. I mean, it couldn't be more unique.   00:00:37:11 - 00:01:00:21 Intro Welcome to the How to Scale Commercial Real Estate Show. Whether you are an active or passive investor, we'll teach you how to scale your real estate investing business into something big.    Sam Wilson Ben Pleat is the CEO and co-founder of Kaboom, a real estate technology company that is a leading community building platform for multifamily. Kaboom is over 85 cities and 36 states.   00:01:01:00 - 00:01:02:06 Sam Wilson Ben, welcome to the show.   00:01:02:18 - 00:01:04:16 Ben Pleat Thanks for having me. Appreciate you guys reaching out.   00:01:04:20 - 00:01:13:02 Sam Wilson Absolutely, Ben, the pleasure's mine. There are three questions I ask every guest who comes on the show in 90 seconds or less. Can you tell me, where did you start? Where are you now and how did you get there?   00:01:13:13 - 00:01:31:05 Ben Pleat Yeah, we started CBU in Massachusetts. My background is in multifamily. We were just in one city at one state for for about a year. And we expanded now to about, like I said, 36 states, about 85 cities. And a lot of that's been in growth with our current customers who brought us to more parts of their portfolio. And we're in far as wide as places as California.   00:01:31:14 - 00:01:41:13 Ben Pleat We were in Canada as well. We're in Texas and we're still based technically in Massachusetts. We have teammates all across the U.S. and eight states, so that's serving a good portion of the country.   00:01:42:00 - 00:01:58:09 Sam Wilson That's awesome. I want to hear the kind of that process, how you were able to scale that. Obviously, that's been very strong. Keeping with the show. Before we get there, I want to hear kind of the backstory on why what caused you to found Cobu?   00:01:58:23 - 00:02:17:07 Ben Pleat Yes, I'm one of the co-founders here at Kaboom. So Kaboom really came from more of a personal experience. My background in multifamily property management worked for a small mom and pop property manager in the New York area and really kind of learned the industry there. But I would say that the impetus or spark for Cobo came from more of a personal experience than what you you'll see my mom achieve her lifelong dream, which was to live in the city.   00:02:17:07 - 00:02:31:12 Ben Pleat She immigrated to the States in the eighties and finally she had this dream of living in the city, and the thinking of it all grew to a beautiful building with amazing roof deck. All the amenities that you'd expect, right? American dream come true, visit her and basically scooped up a loan. She couldn't be a single person and it took a really big talent.   00:02:31:12 - 00:02:49:08 Ben Pleat And she is like the most sociable, most gregarious, you know, extroverted, personal ever meet. And she couldn't do that in her home. And it looked as if she realized this was 61% of the U.S., according to Cigna, a bigger issue for younger people, for millennials and for Gen Z and frankly, kind of ironic, right, that we're more digitally connected than ever before.   00:02:49:08 - 00:03:06:02 Ben Pleat And yet as human beings more disconnected and cope, it obviously didn't make any of that better. We realized that this is something that we can help deliver and along the way we realized that actually can solve. One of the things that I struggle has a property manager which was losing 30 to 60% of my residents every year. So roughly half my properties would leave turnover wise.   00:03:06:18 - 00:03:30:00 Ben Pleat And the big issue and realized one of the best ways to build stickiness was to build more points of attachment. And we found that when you drive that struck me engagement is not just something that a resident wants. It's actually something that can help drive stronger a bunch of other ways. But retention being one key primary driver, and that was the kind of initial impetus for KO, which is all about empowering people to feel that sense of belonging and helping owners drive stronger engagement, retention and ultimately in a way.   00:03:30:15 - 00:03:31:09 Ben Pleat Yeah.   00:03:31:09 - 00:03:50:07 Sam Wilson Okay. So walk us through, I mean, because it's one thing to say, okay, here's how we as real estate investment firm acts are going to drive engagement. We're going to do these things. Here's our blueprint as we're going to go out to do to, you know, create community events, this and that. The other, I don't know. I mean, all the different things probably that you've already thought long through.   00:03:50:07 - 00:04:11:20 Sam Wilson But it's another thing, I think entirely to say we're going to create a model that then can be replicated across anyone's property. I think that's that's a different a different ball. Ball of wax. There's a tell me, you know, what are what are some of the things that you guys think through maybe from a more just just nuts and bolts level on that community engagement side of things?   00:04:12:19 - 00:04:35:20 Ben Pleat Yeah, absolutely. A lot of what we're trying to do is in a fully moderated, kind of fully safe environment, enable residents to to connect with their neighbors and create, you know, great community that drives that stickiness. So think of it as a running club, a mom group, a foodie group, marketplace buying, selling trading items, giving stuff away for free local recommendations, finding dog sitters, nearby cat sitters, very kind of common ways that you'll see residents use.   00:04:35:20 - 00:04:57:18 Ben Pleat Kaboom. We typically specialize in in typically larger properties that we're finding like size is important. So our average size is right above 300 units. We typically recommend, you know, 200 plus unit properties. But what we're trying to do is in a fully safe environment via technology, enable those types of connections and to moderate everything, right. To make sure that everyone's playing nice in the sandbox and right and make it easy for the property.   00:04:57:18 - 00:05:15:00 Ben Pleat So we kind of do it soup to nuts. And we know how much your property managers and teams you guys are working with are going through. So a lot of the lifting is on our end. We just have a couple small best practices that the properties do, but it's really kind of how do you put that on autopilot and make it actually happen in a way that you can scale across your portfolio?   00:05:15:09 - 00:05:28:11 Sam Wilson Yeah, so so let's talk about that. Like how how did you get this off the ground? Because it's one thing, again, to do it for yourself. It's another thing to say, hey, here's the product and I can then sell this product to other property managers. How did you do that?   00:05:29:11 - 00:05:46:10 Ben Pleat Yeah. So today we're in about 115,000 homes, give or take. We started at really just doing it manually, right. We wanted to learn how to build a community in these in these apartment properties. Right. So we literally would go to a property like do it ourselves. We'd hosted an event, we'd bring a bunch of residents together and we learned a couple of things.   00:05:46:10 - 00:06:05:16 Ben Pleat One is that residents definitely wanted to engage with their neighbors. Right, too. As we learned, we had to make it really easy for the property team involved and we had to do it in a way that can scale across the portfolio. Right. You don't want just one something on one property, you want it across your platform typically. So I would say once we got the learnings of how we actually built communes, a lot of science on this stuff as well.   00:06:05:16 - 00:06:25:22 Ben Pleat So we learned like we looked at the community science out there. What are the attributes of the strongest communities we found there? Four typical pillars I to go deeper into it if it's helpful. But we really started building that into the software to enable residents to do that themselves. So for residents to create their own book clubs, for residents to create their own board game groups, residents to help other neighbors in doing the way that was kind of crowdsourced.   00:06:25:22 - 00:06:51:01 Ben Pleat Right? That was organic. So our communities in Austin, Texas are completely different, that our communities in South Florida are completely different. Our communities and you know, Georgia, every community and cocoa is unique in that way. What's not unique is the kind of attributes and pillars to how community building happens. So that's kind of the same. Obviously, the platform that delivers it is the same, but the actual content, the actual groups, the actual ways that resident engage with the neighbors, I mean, it couldn't be more unique.   00:06:51:01 - 00:07:04:02 Ben Pleat Every property has a personality and every property you you likes to engage on particular subjects and sometimes it surprises you kind of what residents love engaging it. You know, you might find there's an active, you know, kitesurfing group in a place that you wouldn't probably expect, that.   00:07:05:11 - 00:07:23:07 Sam Wilson Kitesurfing group in a retirement community, something like that. You're like, Oh, all right, cool. That's awesome. Tell me, I think that's really, really cool. I mean, again, you're building the framework and then crowdsourcing the kind of the kind of the filling in of the of the, you know, the details, which is, I think, a brilliant way to scale your business.   00:07:23:07 - 00:07:33:07 Sam Wilson But I do want to hear what are those four pillars as someone's thinking about this just in general, what are those four pillars that you guys have found to be so instrumental?   00:07:33:07 - 00:07:47:16 Ben Pleat Yeah. So again, a lot of it comes from the community signs out there. So one is membership. This idea of I need to feel like I'm part of something so the more tight you can down that membership. So being part of a property great. So you live at one on Main Street, being part of the one on Main Street Foods or the one on Main Street book clubs.   00:07:48:00 - 00:08:02:23 Ben Pleat More boundaries you can kind of create that makes it specific. The higher the sense of membership through shared experiences. So this kind of you mentioned a couple of them earlier, like events you guys might be doing, just ways to engage, bringing people together could be something as simple as a grab and go. It's a type of shared experience.   00:08:03:03 - 00:08:21:01 Ben Pleat Yeah. Number two three is needs to fill a community has to fulfill a need for you. So obviously in the properties we're serving, there's, you know, shelter, right? That's being fulfilled. But even something as simple as, hey, I'm looking for a recommended tailor in the neighborhood and looking for a recommended place to take, you know, friends or loved ones that are visiting in town.   00:08:21:01 - 00:08:42:21 Ben Pleat So these a film, it is typically how most people start to engage with their community. And the fourth is mutual influence, which is I can make my community better, my community can make me better. So this is really enabling residents to to help shape their experience. So whether it's getting feedback that you guys are doing a value add, you know, CapEx project on a new amenity space or just soliciting ways to make the community stronger and a better resident experience.   00:08:42:21 - 00:08:45:00 Ben Pleat So those are typically the four that we'll focus on.   00:08:45:05 - 00:09:02:08 Sam Wilson Yeah. And I would think like you said on the, on the mutual influence side of things, that's a great way and correct me if I'm wrong here because I haven't actually used your platform, but it would be a great way for property owners to then find out what residents want, like you said, you know, kind of playing off.   00:09:02:08 - 00:09:15:17 Sam Wilson What I mean is that am I hearing that right where they can come back and say, hey, you know, we're going to put in I don't know, I'm just making stuff up here because this doesn't make any sense for most communities to put in. But but golf in a, you know, in a some other amenity and they're like, no, none of us like putt putt golf.   00:09:15:17 - 00:09:19:22 Sam Wilson And, you know, maybe a hot tub would be better. I don't know. I'm just throwing out ideas. Yeah, that's a great.   00:09:20:17 - 00:09:46:23 Ben Pleat Absolute it's a great way to validate CapEx projects and kind of validate that having to spend 5000, 10,000 on, you know, a covered dog park. Right. Which sounds like a great amenity, but do residents actually want something as cheap as some additional benches? Right. It's a great way to not only get that insight and helps you make a better, more informed investment decision, but on top of that, it also helps kind of, frankly, gain some some trust and kind of gain some some buy in from the property residents that, you know, call that place home.   00:09:46:23 - 00:09:49:24 Ben Pleat Right. So you kind of win both ways in that way.   00:09:50:06 - 00:09:56:15 Sam Wilson Right? Because maybe nobody wants to cover Dog Park, maybe they want to be able to sunlight when they're walking their dog. Another dog, who knows? Who knows?   00:09:56:15 - 00:10:02:02 Ben Pleat The more data information that you get, like what are people actually engaging around the more you're able to make informed decisions?   00:10:02:07 - 00:10:19:07 Sam Wilson Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, I think that's really, really cool. How, how do you guys even I mean, I wouldn't even know how to monetize this. Obviously I haven't because I know my business. But like you go to a community, say, like, how do you charge for it? How did how did you get your. Because it seemed like that would have been a big part of your kind of building.   00:10:19:07 - 00:10:25:17 Sam Wilson The platform dilemma is like what's this worth to a 300 unit apartment complex.   00:10:26:10 - 00:10:47:11 Ben Pleat Yeah. So typically, I mean like the main drivers of value, so to speak, are retention, right? So we're typically seeing resident engagement caboose or renewing at summer routine 10 to 17 percentage points higher renewal outcomes compared to those residents in the same property that don't. So there's kind of that retention benefit that you typically see. And time and time again, when we do that in stabilized communities and lease ups, we kind of see that outcome.   00:10:48:03 - 00:11:08:17 Ben Pleat The second piece is around driving Google reviews. So when we have a really strong, engaged community, obviously online reputation is really important to us or worsens our prospects or are looking before signing a lease. And often in your properties you can actually generate a pretty significant amount of Google reviews. And Google does that through a platform just by asking kind of the engaged, happy residents at the right moment in time.   00:11:09:00 - 00:11:25:11 Ben Pleat Mm. Those, those are kind of two of the three I would say components that we typically focus on. Obviously there are other ways to drive value in terms of information kind of giving kind of the data that we spoke about earlier. But in terms of like what the cost of the platform is, typically somewhere between 300 to about 600 per property per month.   00:11:25:11 - 00:11:32:17 Ben Pleat This is the rough average. It depends on the size of the portfolio. It obviously depends on the size of the property, but that's kind of the typical range that you see.   00:11:33:00 - 00:12:07:13 Sam Wilson Right, which is probably less than the cost of one turn turn over basically, correct? Yeah. Yeah. Right. And if you can, you can do to your property at 10% of that, you know, higher retention rate, that's 20 units a year that aren't turning over and make a lot of sense pretty quickly. So that's really, really cool. What have been some of the challenges maybe that you have faced and how have you overcome them as it pertains to growing Kobo and taking it really all across the country?   00:12:07:13 - 00:12:22:03 Ben Pleat Yeah, I would say like the first challenge is like how do we build community at scale, right? So we spoke a lot about kind of the early learning, like how do we actually do that? I would say that that's not easy, right? The second piece that we face is like how do we moderate community in a way that makes sense for residents?   00:12:22:03 - 00:12:39:05 Ben Pleat That's an experience that they're excited about, but also something that actually can exist in the context of of of where people live right there. Obviously, a bunch of hot button issues that residents might want to bring up. That code was obviously not meant for, right? Like, you know, code was not a space for residents to complain about. The property code was not a space to use profanity.   00:12:39:07 - 00:13:02:04 Ben Pleat It was not a place to, you know, have a rent rent revolt, if you will. All these things are clearly not like what we built the platform for. We've really built it to enable residents to kind of feel that sense of belonging and a sense of connection with their neighbors. And so that definitely took a lot of time for us to kind of develop and learn into and we've kind of developed this really sophisticated platform that uses air and natural language processing as well as a team of humans to do that.   00:13:02:04 - 00:13:29:18 Ben Pleat So I would say that that was definitely an important piece that was really important for multifamily context. In particular, how do how do we get the maturation rights? And that definitely took a lot of time and thought and process in terms of of expanding them. Most of our growth, you know, 60% plus has come from from current customers that bring us to to more parts of their portfolios that kind of like land expand model start with 3 to 5 properties, ten properties and then kind of continue growing within once you.   00:13:29:18 - 00:13:46:05 Ben Pleat So success has really been where we focus. So we really haven't spent a significant amount of resource and like marketing, a lot of it's really been, you know, internal growth with companies that we're working with as well as word of mouth. It's a very relationship driven industry. And we love we love kind of earning the business, showing the value and then kind of growing from there.   00:13:47:00 - 00:14:06:18 Sam Wilson How about scaling, scaling a team that there is not, you know, like it was like you've been talking all day long here. Golly, can't even think you're been but scaling a team is not you guys are aren't all right there in Boston you guys are across the country was the process been like for you like what's the word I'm looking for not scattered team had.   00:14:07:12 - 00:14:08:09 Ben Pleat Like a distributed team.   00:14:08:13 - 00:14:16:09 Sam Wilson Distributed thank you. Go live man. I can't think today. Like I said, yes. What's it been like, that process of scaling a distributed team? Thank you, Ben.   00:14:16:18 - 00:14:32:24 Ben Pleat Yeah, obviously it's interesting. Like, like we're we're kind of spread out across, I think, eight states at this point. I think a lot of it just forces you to be a lot more intentional around culture, around kind of hiring for the people that share your values with you, that will kind of add to your culture. We always think about that as more of a culture add than a culture fit.   00:14:32:24 - 00:14:52:24 Ben Pleat It's not like, Hey, who will fit our cultures? Hey will like push in advance and kind of make our culture stronger. I think a lot of us just being really thoughtful around having regular check ins, kind of frequency of interactions among among your team. We try to obviously spend time in person. We had inaugural event. This was around Labor Day, which was an amazing time just to come together in person.   00:14:52:24 - 00:15:08:20 Ben Pleat So obviously in-person is an important component of that. But look, we're a community building company. Our name Kaboom literally stands for community building. That's what we do for properties. But the most important to me that we're building is the one here at Google. So yeah, taking a bunch of process learning are always trying to get better at it.   00:15:08:20 - 00:15:17:14 Ben Pleat I would say by no means, Sam, are we perfect in that area, but that's the it's critical, right, cultural strategy for breakfast. So they say it's true.   00:15:18:02 - 00:15:29:05 Sam Wilson Yeah, no, I can absolutely believe that. What about you personally as a co-founder and then leader of the company, what are some things you feel like you've done really well that other people should emulate when they are looking to scale.   00:15:30:12 - 00:15:48:19 Ben Pleat The tough one? Sam I would say I think there's a lot that I could do it better, and I think I'm always trying to to grow and learn as a leader. I think kind of sticking true to the Northstar I think is really important. I think there are so many opportunities out there and there's always things that are presented to you and I can't tell you the amount of times that different types of, Hey, can you guys do this for that?   00:15:48:19 - 00:16:06:13 Ben Pleat Or Hey, can you guys do it for for this specific niche and segment? And it's always exciting, always want to help. But I think focus is definitely really important. And you know, especially for teams that are growing in teams that, you know, want to kind of be best in the world at what they're doing, I think focus and saying no to things is sometimes more important than what you say yes to.   00:16:06:13 - 00:16:13:08 Ben Pleat So I would say again, I don't think I've been perfect at that, but it's something I try to aspire to, to do better at. Hope is helpful to others too.   00:16:13:15 - 00:16:31:09 Sam Wilson Yeah, man, we hear that all the time here on this show and I think you're probably a fourth or fifth person today that's told me that it's like focus. You've got to focus. And because I think as entrepreneurs, our challenges that we just see everything is opportunity. It's like if that opportunity is like now, maybe that's just a distraction.   00:16:31:09 - 00:16:32:22 Sam Wilson Instead, it's a great.   00:16:32:22 - 00:16:47:21 Ben Pleat Framework, the good to great frame work that box about this idea of like the hedgehog principle, it's like what is what is something you can actually be uniquely best in the world that what drives your economic engine. And I think the question of like what can you actually be best in the world? That is an important one, right?   00:16:47:21 - 00:17:11:08 Ben Pleat Because if you can really excel and be best in the world at that, I think it's an important question to say, hey, should we focus elsewhere or should the focus be more narrow? Right. And I think sometimes a narrow focus gives you the opportunity to to go really deep and be really, really strong, kind of like a best in the world at something rather than like going really wide in a bunch of specific, you know, other areas that maybe you're not the best equipped to be to be in.   00:17:11:14 - 00:17:28:03 Sam Wilson Yeah. No, no, I love it. Absolutely love it. Ben, this has been incredibly insightful. I love the way you guys have thought through COBOL, how you're building it, the need that you're serving in the industry, how it benefits owners, it also benefits your residents. I think that's something that and I talked to somebody else about this again earlier today.   00:17:28:03 - 00:17:50:04 Sam Wilson It was just like, what is the right way to make the resident landlord property owner relationship you? How do you improve that? And it sounds like you guys are really working towards that in making it a more meaningful experience for the people that live in the communities that we own. So appreciate what you're doing and how you guys are putting that out there and really making a difference on that front.   00:17:50:04 - 00:17:56:01 Sam Wilson Certainly appreciate that. One of our listeners want to get in touch with you and or learn more about Kobi. What is the best way to do that?   00:17:56:18 - 00:18:10:15 Ben Pleat Yeah, absolutely.
