Episode #151: Fresh off the whirlwind of a 16-day spring break adventure with my kids, I've emerged with a treasure trove of travel insights that promise to transform your family vacation experiences. Picture this: a last-minute decision to head to the JW Marriott Desert Springs in Phoenix, a hotel that came highly recommended by a friend. In navigating the chaos of high-season travel and family logistics, I've discovered that sometimes, cutting a trip short can actually enhance the joy and leave everyone wanting more. My years of globetrotting as a management consultant have truly shaped my approach to making family travel less about stress and more about seamless fun. Our stay at the luxury hotel was a blend of opulence and a few quirky setbacks. Imagine arriving at a vast multi-wing property, only to be greeted by the scent of smoke and a missing concierge. Yet, the allure of an upgraded suite and the joy it brought to my family of five quickly overshadowed these hiccups. With a lazy river and several pools, the hotel was a haven for our kids, even as we tackled the challenges of managing a toddler who needed floaties. From mastering the art of carrying large rafts on water slides to embracing the minor logistics of kid-friendly travel, there was plenty of fun to be had and stories to share. This episode is more than just tales of poolside escapades. Join me as I recount memorable moments like a spontaneous airport lounge upgrade and a kind stranger's compliment that moved me to tears. From unexpected adventures with a double ear infection to humorous encounters in airport lounges, this trip was a tapestry of family fun and learning. As we wrap up, I'm thrilled to introduce new segments focused on delivering consistent and engaging content, and I'm incredibly grateful for your support on this journey.

Property management isn't often at the top of a new investor's list when they're thinking about buying a piece of real estate. However, property management can be the ticket to a stress-free investing experience. On this episode of Zen and the Art of Real Estate Investing, Jonathan welcomes Mo Hashem, the visionary behind Flat Fee Landlord, one of the country's fastest-growing residential property management companies. He helps working professionals go from owning one primary residence into profitable real estate investments. Mo has worked across the real estate industry in investing, property management, managing and buying multifamily, selling homes, and training real estate professionals. He has more than 4,000 tenants and has worked with over 2,000 investors. Jonathan and Mo begin their discussion with Mo Hashem's introduction to real estate in college as a career and why he saw it as a vehicle to attain freedom. Mo outlines how he benefitted from a real estate license, the biggest misconception about single-family assets, and how hiring a competent property manager to do the work you don't want can aid your business. You'll hear how to find the right property manager, why scaling is important in real estate, and the importance of maintaining a day job–probably for longer than you thought you should. Finally, Mo shares why you need to be comfortable with your finances, how he started Flat Fee Landlord, and his advice for placing tenants and their pets in your properties. A great property manager can be a game-changer. Mo Hashem's tips make it easier to identify what you need in a property manager.

In today's episode, I'm sharing a simple yet powerful transition technique that can help you regain student attention without raising your voice or using unnecessary energy.Transitions can be one of the trickiest parts of classroom management. Picture this: students are engaged in a group task, there's movement, chatter, and productive chaos, but now you need to bring them back to whole-class instruction. Rather than calling for attention repeatedly, try this:Play transition music—a predetermined song that signals to students it's time to shift back.Project your laptop screen onto the board and type your instructions in big, bold font for students to follow.This method is non-verbal, calm, direct, and engaging. It saves your voice, adds a bit of novelty, and helps students smoothly transition without unnecessary disruption. Listen in for tips on making this work effectively in your classroom.Have a question, comment, or just want to say hello?
