In this episode, Guy welcomed returning guest White Eagle Medicine Woman Suraj Holzwarth to discuss the Crystal Skull Method (CSM), a hands-on energy modality described as a next-level, "quantum" evolution of cranial sacral therapy synthesizing ancient practices and working with 32 skull points and 32 body points. The method aims to activate the pineal, pituitary, thalamus, and hypothalamus for total health, longevity, and expanded consciousness, emphasizing intention, trauma integration, and ethical readiness as more "light" activates. Suraj explained the pineal gland's role in serotonin/melatonin, intuition, and spiritual connection, and describes CSM's use of dual-hand electromagnetic holding, breathwork to "decalcify" and expand "beams of light," grounding to regulate intensity, and practitioner finger/element techniques to balance heat and coolness. They also explored sacred geometry—especially the Sri Yantra and torus field—as a grid CSM builds around the skull and body. The episode included information about a nine-day CSM training in Port Macquarie, Australia (Nov 20–28, 2026) and directs listeners to whirlingrainbow.com.

#416 In this podcast episode, Guy talked with White Eagle Medicine Woman about a collective awakening framed as "emergency" versus "emergence," describing current global pressure as a birthing canal for a new consciousness. They discussed the collapse of old third-dimensional identity into embodied presence, emphasizing that outer conflict mirrors inner polarity and that reconciliation of opposites is required to ascend. White Eagle explained "neutralizing polarity" using relationship examples and a figure-eight harmonization, linking intention plus attention to manifestation and calling for declaration as embodiment. They explored body-based spiritual adaptation, meditation, lineage and ancestral clearing, and asking divinity for help when stuck in fear, blame, or reaction. They also described the Crystal Skull Method as a structured, participatory practice to activate and ground light, support pineal intention, and integrate higher frequencies, and noted an upcoming nine-day teacher training in Port Macquarie in November.

Suraj Bhakta doesn't sugarcoat the moment. He sees a strong Q1, then watches geopolitics and travel costs squeeze demand again. No Vacancy is the official podcast of AAHOACON, and I talked with Suraj Bhakta of New Gen Advisory on the show floor about how owners react when the Fed shifts, travel gets expensive, and buyers and sellers hit pause.

We are joined by Theorem Development founders & owners Faizan & Suraj who break down their business for us. A real multiplex deal, broken down: Suraj walks through a recent East Vancouver fourplex project from start to finish — $2M land acquisition, $2M construction, $350K in soft costs, and $6M in total sales revenue, delivering roughly 40% annualized return on invested capital to their citizen developer client. The biggest roadblocks holding back supply: From BC Hydro transformer upgrades that can cost $120K+ and delay projects by over a year, to 6–10 month permitting timelines that add $60–100K in holding costs, Suraj and Faizan break down exactly where time and money get burned — and who ultimately pays for it (hint: the buyer). Why Vancouver's multiplex math favors build-to-sell over buy-and-hold: Unlike Toronto where CMHC MLI Select financing pushes developers toward rental, Vancouver's strata title system and strong end-user demand at the $1.5–1.9M price point make merchant building the more compelling strategy, with 20%+ returns on cost.

The gap between luxury hotels and everyone else keeps getting wider — and ignoring it won't make it shrink. Suraj Bhakta, CEO & Chief Legal Officer of NewGen Advisory, and I spoke on #NoVacancyNews about what's driving that divide. More important, we talked through actionable insights owners outside the luxury segment can actually implement. Suraj and I get into why upper upscale and #luxury continue to separate from the pack, how price sensitivity hits other segments harder, and why relying on rate alone only goes so far. We also talk through practical ways owners are looking beyond RevPAR and starting to think about total revenue without taking on massive capital projects. We cover:
Attend the 2026 Summit Conference: https://get.biggerpockets.com/passivepocketssummit2026/ This Episode Hotels for passive investors: what actually matters and how it's different from multifamily. Chris Lopez digs in with Jay Desai and Suraj Reddy on the underwriting stack (ADR, occupancy, RevPAR and RevPAR penetration), why brand fit and comp sets (STAR reports) drive the thesis, and how operations (daily pricing, sales/RFPs, third-party management aligned on expenses) move the needle. They walk through break-even occupancy math (often far lower than MF), margins, bonus depreciation via FF&E/capex, fixed-rate/community-bank capital stacks, and their “no capital calls” policy. Includes a Columbus case study and the macro outlook across business/leisure/extended-stay demand—and what Airbnbs really compete for. Key Takeaways Hotels 101: ADR × occupancy = RevPAR; low RevPAR penetration in a strong comp set = value-add target Break-even is different: hotels can pencil at ~35–60% occupancy vs. ~70–75% in multifamily Operations > brand alone: daily revenue management, sales/RFPs, and expense discipline drive NOI STAR reports: how pros build comp sets and gauge RevPAR share before/after capex Depreciation edge: large year-one bonus depreciation from FF&E and renovations (consult your CPA) Disclaimer The content of this podcast is for informational purposes only.
