Investors should focus on the highest and best use of their time. Flipping houses can be tedious and may not be the best use of time for high-income earners. Transitioning to multifamily investments can provide more control and cash flow. Market conditions can significantly impact investment strategies and outcomes. Due diligence is crucial when vetting syndication sponsors and deals. Understanding the underwriting process is essential for passive investors. Building a strong team is vital for success in multifamily investments. Investors should seek to understand the risks associated with their investments. Passive income allows for a lifestyle centered around family and personal interests. Transcript: Seth Bradley (00:10.188) What's going on, law nation? Welcome to the Passive Income Attorney Podcast, your favorite place for learning about the world of alternative passive investments so that you can practice when you want to and not because you have to. Now, if you're ready to kick that billable out of the curb, start by going to attorneybydesign.com to download the Freedom Blueprint, which will also get you access to partner with us on one of our next passive real estate investments. All right, let's talk about   the highest and best use of your time. We've talked about active versus passive income and for good reason, they are completely different. They're on opposite sides of the spectrum. When we talk about active income, we're talking about your job as an attorney, as a doctor or a business owner, where you trade your time in for money out. Depending on your skill set, background, education, work ethic, et cetera,   You know, this could be a great use of your time or it could be a terrible one. But when most people think about getting into real estate investing, they're torn. Should you do a fix and flip like you saw on HGTV? Should you invest in a REIT like your financial advisor and Charles Schwab told you to do? Should you buy a single family rental or invest in a syndication? There are endless options so I can understand why it's so confusing. Well, start with this.   ask yourself, what's the highest and best use of my time? If you're thinking about doing an HGTV fix and flip and your partner at a big law firm, for example, is that flip really the best use of your time? And don't be mistaken, a flip is transactional and it is active. So will you make more per hour on that fix and flip than you would at your job?   After you factor in the learning curve, the deal sourcing, the headaches, what it takes away from your job and everything else, it's not even close. Unless you truly love doing it, which some people do, it just doesn't make sense for high income earners. You should be focusing on transforming the income you earn actively into passive income streams. At different levels on the passive scale, that could very well be a single family rental or an Airbnb.   Seth Bradley (02:34.26) or could be passive investments into commercial syndications. But if you truly want to obtain financial freedom as quickly as possible, don't create more time consuming activities that aren't as fruitful as the active income stream that you already have. Focus on passive investments until you are financially free. And then you will have the freedom to transition or not into any   active activity you have a passion for. Today, we have a very special guest, Mr. Jay Scott of Bigger Pocket fame. Jay is an entrepreneur, investor, advisor, and the co-host of the Bigger Pockets Business Podcast.

Attorney Seth Bradley will help you end the cycle of trading your time for money so you can make money while you sleep. Start living the good life on your own terms. Now, here's your host, Seth Bradley.   Jay Scott, what's going on, brother? Welcome to the show.   Scott (04:09.196) Thanks. Appreciate you having me here Seth.   Absolutely, man. Appreciate you taking the time out of your day, We've got a little bit of history, but let's jump into your history, man. What's your story? Tell us about your background. Take it back as far you'd like to.   Yeah, I'll keep it short because nobody really cares about what I used to do. So I'm a tech guy by education and former trade. I worked in Silicon Valley for a long time, spent about 15 years doing the engineering thing and the product management thing. 2008 decided to get married. My wife and I, she was in the tech world also. We decided to leave and do something different so we could start a family.   focus on our family. Basically, we were both working ridiculous hours and it just wasn't sustainable if we wanted to start a family. So put our jobs in 2008, moved to the East coast, ended up flipping houses. Long, boring story about how that started, just kind of serendipitous. We didn't really plan it, never really considered real estate, but fell into flipping houses. Over the next eight years or so, we flipped about 400, 450 houses, was great. It ended up being the,   next career we were looking for, it gave us the flexibility to kind of raise our kids and never have to miss a soccer game or a piano recital, which was fantastic. But then around 2017-ish really got burned out on flipping houses and that's when I started to look for some new stuff to do. and that kind of leads me into what I've been doing the last few years.   Seth Bradley (05:41.742) That's awesome, man. That's a ton of houses you flip, man. think that that's, know, a lot of the folks who've been in the game for a long time, they've heard you speak on, you know, on bigger pockets and all of that. So, you know, what attracted you originally to house flipping rather than, you know, buy it holds or anything like that?   So I'll be honest, I don't love real estate. I love business. I'm a business guy. like when I was even when I was in the tech world, I got my MBA and I did some business development and I moved from the engineering side to the product side where I could be more involved in the business stuff. And I'm a business guy by heart. And that's what I love doing. So when it came to flipping houses,   For me, was, I could have been buying and selling anything. It ended up being houses. And again, not an exciting story. mean, literally the story was my wife was watching a show on HGTV with some people flipping houses and she said, let's give that a try. Just as kind of like a fun thing to do on the side while we were waiting for our wedding to come up. So it wasn't something that I ever thought about or planned to do. It just kind of happened.   And so if it weren't flipping houses, it would have been buying and selling something else. would have opened a restaurant or I would have opened a retail store or who knows what I would have done. But for me, the challenge was in the business. It wasn't the real estate piece of it. And so I've always enjoyed the scaling part. So yeah, flipping a house is great. Flipping five houses is great. But I always wanted to know, how do I go from flipping five houses to flipping 50 houses in a year? What are the systems and processes I have to put in place?   how do I build that type of business? That to me is what's exciting. And so for me, it's always been about not the real estate part of it, but about the building the business part of it.   Seth Bradley (07:25.248) I love that man. I don't think I've heard anyone just come out and say that, even though a lot of people are probably in the same boat as you that, you know, you don't have to love real estate to recognize that it's a great business. Right. Yeah. So that that's awesome. So tell me a little bit about your, your transition and what you're doing now, your current business, how you kind of progressed from house living to what you're about to tell us about.   Yeah, so 2017, I just got really burned out on flipping houses. It was good to us financially. We got good at it. I wrote a bunch of books on it, but I'll be honest, it was never fun. And as the years went on, it just ended up getting more tedious. I felt like I wasn't learning anything new. It was revising processes and creating new systems. it was fun, but I needed some new challenges.   So 2017, I decided, okay, done with flipping, actually went and started doing some business stuff. So I do some advisory work for some tech companies. I do some angel investing. And so for a few months, I actually considered getting out of real estate altogether, focusing on other business pursuits. But I actually, what I realized was that I didn't like the nuts and bolts of real estate. I liked the mechanics of real estate.   I loved the negotiation piece. I loved the asset management piece. I loved the putting deals together piece and I was good at it. And so while I really didn't wanna be flipping houses, didn't want to be involved in the day-to-day aspects of managing the projects. I enjoyed the deal part of real estate. And so in addition to that, after I stopped flipping, I had all this cash.   And I was like, okay, what am I going to do with this cash? I was using it to flip houses. We were doing 50 houses a year. It's put a lot of cash to work. Now I had all this cash. I'm a control freak. do invest in other people's syndications, but I don't sleep well at night when all my money is being managed by other people. So I said, how do I kind of take back control of my own cash as well as kind of get back into real estate? What can I do in real estate that I would enjoy? And now I can also deploy a bunch of my own cash. And what I realized was multifamily.   Scott (09:38.648) That was a great opportunity. And I had been thinking about multifamily for a long time. But what I realized was from the syndication side of multifamily, could, one, I could have the control. could be a general partner. could control the deal. I could put the deal together. I could manage the deal. But also I could come in on the limited partner side as an investor. And it was a great place to deploy my capital. So I could deploy my capital in deals that I had full control over. So 2017, I decided I wanted to get into multifamily, probably wanted to get into syndication.   I reached out to a friend of mine, Ashley Wilson, who managed a company called Barred Down Investments. She and her husband had started the company a couple of years earlier. They were doing exactly what I wanted to do. And so I reached out to Ashley and I said, hey, I would love to learn multifamily. I don't expect you to like just take all this time and teach me so I can often be your competitor. But here's what I am willing to do if you're willing to do this. I will come work for you for a year.   And in that year, you've got all my time, you've got all my energy, you've got all my knowledge, you've got all my contacts, I'll put money into your deals, whatever it takes. You mentor me for a year, you've got my commitment for a year. After a year, we can figure out if like, there's a place for me on the team or if I'll go off and do my own thing. But basically, let's work together for a year. And she loved that idea. mean, I think she liked the fact that I was really good with the systems and the processes and the operation stuff.   And I obviously loved the fact that I could jump into a team that was high functioning, already owned a lot of properties and was doing deals. So for the next year, I worked with her team. It took about a year and a half before we finally did a deal. But 2020, just before COVID, we started putting together a deal. That deal went really well. Ashley and I realized that we were like, just we made a great team.   We had a bunch of complimentary skills, the things that she was really good at, I wasn't, the things I was really good at, she wasn't, it was just a good partnership. Around the same time, her husband decided that he didn't really want to be doing real estate anymore. He kind of wanted to be a stay at home dad. He liked helping with the business. He ran the underwriting team and he did a lot of the analytics, but he didn't want to be a partner in the business anymore. So about a year and a half ago, Ashley came to me and said, Hey, would you want to join me and be a partner in the business?   Scott (11:57.678) 2020, 2021-ish. Ashley and I joined forces. She and I now run bar down investments and we do value add multifamily all around the country.   That's great man, said you weren't having fun anymore, you having fun now?   I'm having a ton of fun. And I think the big difference between then and now is when you're flipping houses, flipping houses is a very, it's a solitary venture. Yeah, you have contractors around you and you have eight real estate agents and you have closing agents and lots of 1099 people, lots of vendors and people that come in to help you. But at the end of the day, you're running the show. You're doing the four big things that you do when you flip houses.   you're acquisitions or you're running acquisitions, you're doing the rehab or you're running the rehab, you're doing the disposition or managing the disposition and you're raising the money. mean, all four of those things, you don't generally have a big team to do those things because it's just hard to scale a big team when you're flipping houses. The profits aren't there, the margins aren't there. Unless you're doing real high-end houses, the deal size isn't there. But in multifamily, the thing I love about multifamily is it really is a team sport. When you're doing it,   $10 million deal or a $50 million deal, it's not something that I could ever do myself. It's not something anybody or very few people can do themselves. Typically you have to be part of a team because things are very specialized. mean, the acquisitions piece, you need some of the best acquisitions people in the world to be finding deals in this market. The renovation piece to be renovating a 200 or 400 or 600 unit apartment complex, it's not like flipping a house. You need to have really good systems and processes. need to...   Scott (13:36.448) really know the renovation side of things. Managing the property, I mean, you have to know the asset management side. You have to know how to carry out a business plan. You have to know how to increase and reposition rents. You have to know how to decrease expenses and improve the efficiency of the management. And then on the sales side, that's a whole other world where you have to really know the market and be able to work with the brokers and know how to position the company for sale. And then finally, there's that raising funds piece.   And that's a whole world by itself, whether you're dealing with raising debt through a broker and you're going like just typical, like getting loans, or you're going out to private investors or institutions and you're raising equity, people that come in as partners. And I mean, that's a full-time job in itself, those two things. So when you do multifamily, you really need to figure out what are you great at? And then you need to surround yourself with people who are great at everything else. And so that's what I loved about multifamily. It allowed me to focus on what I was really   and then bring in people who are literally the best in the world at all the other stuff. And now it becomes a team sport. It goes from playing tennis to playing basketball. It goes from being yourself reliant and you have to do everything and be the best versus you have to be able to put together the best team and manage that team in a way that not only is everybody fantastic, but working together, they're better than the sum of their parts.   Yeah, yeah, that's fantastic, man. The whole team game part of multifamily and commercial real estate. It's really interesting because when you get into other businesses, it feels more competitive and kind of like if you if you have the secret sauce, you keep it close to your vest. You don't you don't tell everybody about it. Whereas when you're in this commercial real estate world, everybody's sharing ideas. Everybody's trying to partner. Everybody's trying to see how they can help you rather than just looking about, well, how can you help me kind of?   I call it, I'm gonna get in trouble here, but the Hollywood mentality where it's like, what can you do for me? Oh, you just drive a three series, you probably can't help me. So it's a different attitude.   Scott (15:41.294) Absolutely. I like to refer to it as co-op petition. It's like there are deals that you're going to do with other people and then there deals you're going to do yourself and you may come back to those people later. You may never come back to them, but everybody kind of looks out for each other because you never know when you may end up in a deal with somebody that previously you were competing against. And so anytime that you're not in a deal with somebody, you're still treating them as if, the next deal we could end up being partners. And the deal after that, we could end up being partners.   because it really is, it's a small industry, everybody knows each other. we really, again, going back to the sum of the parts is greater than the parts themselves. mean, working together, we can really do a whole lot more than if we just are purely competitive and try and take each other down.   Yeah, absolutely. And I think kind of going back, there's a lesson to be learned about how you were transitioning from house flipping and you were the best at it. And then you're like, okay, I want to go into multifamily and a syndication. You went and you sought out someone that was already in the game that knew what they were doing, that had the experience. And you said, what can I do to help you? What value can I bring to you to help you so you can teach me what you've done? And there's a lot of value to be found in that lesson for folks that are trying to   you know, get into the active side. A lot of listeners out there are passive investors already and they're, you know, maybe thinking about, maybe I want to do in the active side. And they're like, well, what can I do? Cause a lot of attorneys, especially in doctors and folks like that, they think they have this one track mind. They're only trained to do one thing. And they're like, what value can I provide as somebody else? But there are a lot of skills that you've learned in your W2 profession that you can apply to help other folks that are already in the industry.   Absolutely. I mean, I talk about it a lot, but even outside of real estate, I do a lot of advisory work and I'm still pretty active in the tech world. And I find companies that kind of bridge that gap between technology and real estate. all know about the Zillows and the Airbnb type companies. There are a lot of startup companies in that space too called property technology type companies. so...   Scott (17:46.998) I love to use my experience, my knowledge, my relationships to go into those companies and help them grow their companies. In return, I'm not an employee. I'm not even a 1099 contractor. In return, I'm getting equity so that if I can help make them successful, ultimately my equity is gonna be worth something. I'm gonna be successful as well. And so what I like to tell everybody like figure out what you're good at and then figure out who needs that expertise.   and then figure out how you can offer that expertise in a way that isn't trading necessarily hours for dollars. Figure out how you can trade your expertise, your knowledge, your Rolodex, your whatever it is for equity or potentially passive income so that you can grow potentially many fold as opposed to I charge $200 an hour or $300 an hour. mean, everybody loves $300 an hour, but the minute you stop working, you stop making that money. But if you can get equity, that equity can work for you for a while.   Yeah, absolutely. And it's tough for a lot of the WTs out there listening, they're highly paid professionals. It's tough to get off of that treadmill. For some folks it's easier because they're not making as much money, but for the lawyers, the doctors out there that are making a good amount of money in their profession, it's tough to try to see, you know, to stop trading time for money. But you've got to kind of see through the weeds there.   Yeah, well, what I tell people is, there's two types of income. There's your active income. That's the stuff that you're trading your time for, whether you're a doctor or a lawyer or an engineer or you're a house flipper or you're a consultant or you're a small business owner, whatever it is, that thing that when you stop working, you stop making money. And then there's a passive income. It's the thing you trade money for money. So you put your money out there and hopefully it continues to come back to you for the rest of your life or at least the next several years.   And so what I like to tell people is don't think about those the same. Those are completely different. figure out for your active income, figure out what the highest and best use of your time is. If you're gonna make more money as an attorney than you are flipping houses, don't flip houses just because you eventually want to retire on real estate. You can always use real estate for the passive side of things, but if you're gonna make more dollars per hour as an attorney or a doctor or a consultant, then do that because you wanna get out of that active income as quickly as possible.   Scott (20:05.9) And the way you do that is you make as much as you can and you move it over to the passive side. So focus on whatever it is that's generating the most dollars per hour for a shorter period of time so that you can then start moving that money over to the passive side and start building up the passive side. don't, people ask me all the time, should I flip houses or should I buy rentals? And I'm constantly telling them that's not the right question. Flipping houses is your active income. Compare that to all the other.   potential active incomes you can have. And rentals is passive income. Compare that to all the other passive investments you can make. And so don't say flipping houses or rentals say, should I be flipping houses or should I be an attorney? And don't say, I be flipping houses or rentals say, should I be doing rentals or should I be investing in syndications or dividend generating stocks or something else? And think of them very differently. then secondly,   Make sure as much of that active income as you can, move it over the passive side so that you can start that snowball rolling. I compound interest is the key to financial freedom. And the sooner you can put more money to work, the faster it'll compound and the sooner you can start to live on.   Yeah, I love that man. mean, lot of folks, you know, calls that I take, they're like, hey, they're attorneys. Should I quit my job or how do I quit my job? I'm like, if you want to quit your job, don't be hasty about it. First of all, you're probably making a good amount of money in your active income. You just need to figure out a way to transition that active to passive income and don't just quit your job. It's very difficult to flip houses, to do an HGTV fix and flip while you're working at a big law firm or something like that full time.   I tried to do it, I didn't do it very well. You're not even gonna make it nearly as much money as you would as a doctor, as an attorney, unless you get to level like you did, Jay, but that takes time and that takes a buildup of accumulation of skills and money to be able to get to that level.   Scott (22:05.826) Yeah, I mean, at the end of the day, it's a math equation. mean, your passive income or your ability to build up enough income to be able to retire, whatever your number is, is based on how much can you put in per month into that wheel, that passive income growth machine? How much are you generating every year on what you're putting in? So what do your returns look like? And three, how long do you have to compound it?   And so everybody can go out into a compound interest calculator and say, okay, I have $5,000 a month that I can invest passively and I can return 12 % per year and I need $6 million to retire. Well, based on those three numbers, you can now figure out that fourth variable, is how long is it going to take? And so figure out how much do you have per month to put in? What's the rate of return you can generate and how much do you need? And that'll tell you how long it's going to take or   figure out how much you have to put in, how much your return is gonna be and how long you wanna spend. And that'll tell you how much you'll end up with at the end, either way you wanna look at it. But again, it's a pretty simple math equation, but too many people don't actually do that equation where they don't think about it until too late and they think, I wish I would have taken that $5,000 a month that I was spending on my second home in the Bahamas and put that into real estate so that I could have been.   compounding it and so now I could buy that home for cash five years or 10 years later.   Absolutely. Attorneys hate math, but I think they can handle that little equation. I want to take a step back for a minute because you got into house flipping in 2008, which is kind of like around the big crash. And now we're kind of at the height of a market. We don't know where that height is going to end, but we're definitely in it. Right. So can you maybe compare and contrast getting into, let's say,   Seth Bradley (24:01.652) one real estate venture in the middle of a crash compared to getting into another venture kind of towards, towards the upswing.   Yeah, so it's one of the reasons I like multifamily and I like commercial and I like syndication. Anytime you're doing purely transactional deals, buying something and then selling it, not generating any cashflow in between, you run a risk. If the market turns in the middle of the transaction, you're gonna lose money and you don't have a lot of ways to mitigate that risk.   Whereas if you're buying something like an apartment complex, or even if you're buying a rental property, or you're buying a self-storage complex, or you're buying anything that cash flows, the nice thing is if the market turns, you may not be in a great position. You may not be thrilled with what's happening with the value of your assets, but if you're still generating cash flow, you can weather that storm. Maybe it's gonna take, the average recession lasts about 18 months. And so if you can make enough income that you can keep yourself afloat for 18 months, or maybe   it's a horrible recession and it lasts three or four years. If you're still making income and you can keep yourself afloat for three or four years, the market's gonna come back. And so when we do our multifamily deals, yeah, we typically say we're planning to hold three to five years, but we also do all the underwriting to ensure that if we have to hold for six years or eight years or even nine or 10 years, that the numbers still work because.   Again, who knows what's gonna happen three years down the road, we could have a major recession that lasts four years and now we're seven years down the road. I wanna know that my multifamily investments in seven years, they're probably gonna be producing more cashflow. We're probably gonna see more growth in terms of population. We're probably gonna see more growth in terms of employment. Hopefully we're gonna see more wage growth once we come out of that recession. So all the economic indicators that kind of lead towards value growth in multifamily,   Scott (25:58.486) are going to happen over those seven years if I can just get my property seven years and not lose it. With a flip, well, I'm not generating any income. So if the bank calls the loan due or if my two-year loan comes due and I can't refinance, I'm screwed. But in a multifamily, I just waited an extra couple of years and I'm probably in a better position than I was anyway. So that's one of the reasons I love multifamily because we can't predict   what the economy is gonna do in the next couple of years. But I do know that whatever the economy does, it's probably gonna come back in the next five or 10, and I'm still gonna have the problem.   Yeah, yeah, that's great. That kind of rolls into this next question. How does a passive investor that's kind of vetting a sponsor, how do they check kind of the boxes to see if their sponsors are taking the extra measures to look into those risks that you just mentioned, to mitigating those risks, to taking those risks into account in their underwriting and things like that. How can they best vet the sponsor to make sure that they're thinking of those things?   So I invest in a lot of other people's syndications as well as my own. And so when I do that, I kind of look at five areas for due diligence anytime I invest in a syndication. Number one is the team. And that's probably the most important thing. For a lot of people, I have been pleasantly surprised that a lot of our investors have recognized that team is the most important aspect of the deal. I know in the flipping world, everybody was concerned about the deal. Nobody cared about   what was my experience, but in the multifamily world, a lot of investors recognize that the team has to be great. So number one is the team. Number two is location. Location is often overlooked, but at the end of the day, the thing that's gonna drive value for multifamily and for commercial real estate in general is gonna be population growth. So you want more people coming into an area, employment growth. So you want more employers coming into an area that will bring more people in. You want wage growth because that will ultimately drive rents up.   Scott (28:06.082) and you want employment diversity. You wanna know that if one industry takes a big hit, so for example, we invest in Houston, but we won't invest in the energy corridor of Houston because it's so reliant on oil and gas, that if the oil and gas industry took a big hit, the real estate around there would probably take a big hit. So we wanna see that there's good employment diversity. But at the end of the day, location is that next big thing. So team, location, number three is the deal itself.   So you need to know that the deal is gonna stand on its own. I wanna know that if I took a deal and I handed it to pretty much any other indicator, they couldn't mess it up too badly. Obviously, again, we're gonna go back to the team is super important, but I want the deal also to stand on its own. And I wanna know that the business plan for the deal, the hold period, the numbers and the underwriting, the pro forma for the property makes sense. So team location deal.   Number four is the returns. So obviously when I invest with somebody, I'm in it for the money. And so I wanna see that the returns are commensurate with the risk. I wanna know that the returns, if somebody tells me I'm gonna get 10 % returns in this deal versus 20 % returns in another deal, I wanna know, well, why am gonna settle for lower returns? I want the answer to be because it's a lot lower risk or because you're gonna get your money back a lot sooner, which is gonna allow you to compound it or whatever the answer is.   I want to know that the returns make sense given everything else. And then finally is the risks. At the end of the day, I'm always going to sit down with the syndicator and I'm going to say, what are you most concerned about here? Like where, if I'm going to lose money on this deal, where am I most likely going to lose money? They say, there's no shot of losing money. walk away because we all know every deal has risks and every syndicator knows what those risks are. And they're thinking about those risks. I just want them to tell me.   So if I'm gonna lose money on this deal, where am I most likely? Why am I most likely to lose money if I'm going to lose money? So those are the five things that I look for. Talking about each individually a little bit more. the team, I like to know that one, I wanna see how many deals the team has done together because again, like a basketball team, you can put the best basketball players in the world together. And if they've never played on the court together,   Scott (30:31.672) they're not gonna be necessarily the best team out there. You can find another team with five inferior players who have been playing together for 20 years and they're probably gonna be better because they know each other better. So I like to see teams that have worked together for a while. I like to see teams that have gone full cycle in deals. So it's easy to buy 10,000 units. It's hard to buy 10,000 units and also sell 10,000 units for a profit. So I wanna see that if a team has bought a lot of deals, they've at least sold some for a profit.   I wanna see a team that's putting their own money in the deals. So I want people that have skin in the game. If they don't have skin in the game, and I've seen plenty of syndicators that don't like to put money in the deals, well, they need to sweeten the pot for me somehow. So maybe they're saying, we're not gonna take any profits until at least year three, or we're gonna give you a better preferred return, a better split than you would get if we were putting money in the deal. I wanna know if you're not putting money in.   that you're at least giving me something that aligns our interests and ensures that you're gonna be working hard even though you might not have as much financial risk. So those are the types of things I like to see in the team. I like to see things like at least one or two people working full-time. If everybody's part-time, that's kind of a little bit scary. Obviously not everybody has to be full-time because there are a lot of jobs on a GP team that aren't full-time jobs. There are a lot of jobs that might stop the day you purchase the property. Like the person that's raising money, job's   pretty much done other than communicating status when the property's been purchased. But I do want to know that whoever's managing the asset is doing it full time. So that's kind of the team stuff. Location, again, population growth, employment growth, wage growth, and employment diversity. So those are the four big things I look for. Next is the business plan. So I want to see the biggest question when somebody goes in and...   does what I do, which is a value add multifamily. Basically they buy it, they raise the value of the property and then they sell it for a big profit. Where is that profit coming from? Generally the profits coming from raising the rents. There's also some lowering the expenses, but at the end of the day, raising the rents is kind of the big thing that's gonna generate the big profits in multifamily. And so I wanna know how are you raising the rents? And two, when you tell me that you're raising the rents from X to Y, where is Y coming from?   Scott (32:55.182) Show me the comps that tell me that why is a reasonable new rent, market rent for this property after you've done the renovation. So I wanna see the comps. So that's kind of the deal. The returns speaks for themselves. I wanna see like the structure of the deal. So when's the money coming back to me? Is it paid monthly? Is it paid quarterly? What are the returns look like? What's the preferred return? So is it a low preferred return, which means   that the syndicators are getting paid sooner, whereas at a higher preferred return, which means the syndicators have to do more for me before they take anything home. So that speaks for themselves. And then for the risks, I wanna know both the catastrophic risks. So what's the thing that's like going to make me lose all my money? Is there something out there that can cause me to lose all my money? Hopefully the answer is no, but there are probably some risks that are bigger than others. So we do a lot of deals in Houston. If somebody were to say to me, what's the biggest risk on your deals?   The answer is generally going to be weather. If we have a really bad hurricane, if we're in a flood zone, we probably have flood insurance and we have hurricane insurance. But if it's in a place that's never experienced the negative impacts of a flood or a hurricane, and we are not required to have flood insurance, but there's still a massive hurricane that wipes out that property, that's not going to be good. We're going to have to pay for that ourselves. So what's our mitigation there? We don't have a great one. Luckily.   the risk is really low. We don't buy in areas where there is that risk. And if there is, we're gonna get flood insurance. But I do want my investors to know that no matter where you invest, whether it's a risk and especially in Houston, if we see a storm bigger than anything we've seen the last 50 years, some of our properties could be at risk. And then there are the smaller risks. So maybe there's five other complexes being renovated all around us. Maybe there's class A, brand new class A being developed.   all around us. So basically our absorption of units is going to slow down because there's so many more units. Maybe there's one big employer in the area. Amazon just built a warehouse that's employing 8,000 people. Well, what happens if Amazon has a bad year and has to lay off 4,000 of those people? How's that going to affect us? So, so risks is the next thing. And the way I approach it is I literally sit down with the, with the syndicator and say,   Scott (35:15.554) What keeps you up at night? What are the biggest things you're concerned about? And so those are the things that I do. I have no problem basically saying to a syndicator, I need 15 or 30 minutes of your time to ask these questions. Typically the good ones will either find the times themselves or have somebody on their team that will sit down and answer these questions. If they're not willing to answer those questions, well, that's probably a good indication that that's not a good team.   Yeah. For our listeners out there, that breakdown was incredible. Rewind that, listen to those five items again. That's a quick, but thorough and awesome rundown of what you need to do. Just as at least the starting points for your due diligence. And that's, that's great that you said if they won't book a call with you either themselves or an investor relations person on their team, then it's time to, you can just walk away and look at the next, look at the next deal. One question I had on the deal.   So a lot of folks, it's kind of overwhelming to see an underwriting model or something like that. And being a passive investor, I don't know how much you even want to dive into it. Some people do, some people want to nerd out on it. Most people don't. And we don't generally have access to the T12 or the rent roll or anything like that. What are maybe some quick tips on how to maybe proof through that pro forma to make sure that the assumptions are reasonable and the pro forma is generally   a reasonable prediction of what we might expect from that investment.   Well, let me start, me take a step back before I answer that particular question and just say that even for you and me, mean, you know how to do an underwriting, I know how to do an underwriting. If you or I were gonna invest in somebody's deal, Joe Smith's deal, we're probably not gonna have enough information even though we know this business really well and we know the underwriting models really well, we're probably not gonna have enough information.   Scott (37:08.908) that we're going to be able to know for certain that Joe Smith's not trying to scam us out of money. So if Joe Smith is really smart and he could probably put together an underwriting that could fool us because we're just not gonna be putting in as many dozens of hours underwriting as he and his team are. So the number one thing I would say is make sure you trust your syndicate. This goes back to why team is so important.   because there's two types of things that Joe Smith can do. One, he could do a bad job of underwriting and come up with bad numbers. That's not good, but that's not nearly as bad as Joe Smith wanting to scam us out of money. So number one is make sure Joe Smith's not the kind of guy who wants to scam us out of money. And so work with people who are reputable. And that's why I would invest with you before I would invest with 95 % of syndicators out there because you're an attorney, you passed the bar.   you know that if you go and somebody finds out that you're trying to scam somebody, well, you're putting your entire career at risk. And so what I tell people is, so what do you have that really proves that this person is on the up and up? And maybe it's a track record. Maybe it's 10 or 15 years of doing deals. Maybe it's, I like to think with me, I've been doing this business for 15 years. I've done thousands of deals with hundreds or thousands of people.   And if you go out on the internet, nobody's gonna, you're not gonna find anything that's written negatively about me. So that's a good sign. But make sure that there's something out there that gives you faith in that syndicator, even if it's just somebody else that's invested in a couple of deals with them. So that's number one. So that's the way to rule out that catastrophic, they're trying to scam you risk. Then there's the more likely, what if they just didn't do a good job of underwriting risk?   And so for that, would say for people that have very little knowledge of how the underwriting works and how the numbers work, it can be really difficult. And so what I like to do is, or what I recommend people do is sit down and ask to do a Zoom call for 15 minutes with the investor relations person and say, hey, will you kind of walk me through the high level underwriting? And at least force them to go through and then just ask questions.   Scott (39:30.958) when they say something, even if you have no idea what you're talking about and they say, well, it looks like we're gonna be able to reduce expenses by implementing a rub system, blah, blah, blah. Oh, okay, well, what is rubs and how does that work? And at least make them explain it to you. At least then you'll get an idea that they're not making it up as they're going along, or at least you'll get that confidence that it sounds like they know what they're talking about. But the biggest thing that I would say is that whole comps thing.   And this is a question that a lot of people don't like to ask. But I actually, and when people ask me this question, it always makes me nervous because it's the hardest part of the business, but it impresses me when people do. to the underwriting or the investor relations person, what are the comps that you used for your post renovation market rents? So again, the thing that drives values in multifamily is after the renovation is completed, in theory, you should be able to bring your rents up higher.   and your rents, those higher rents, you should be able to figure out what they are by looking at other units that have already been renovated and seeing what their rents are. So if I buy one, two, three Main Street, and I know I'm going to put $8 million into it, well, now that property is going to comp out to 678 Main Street. And well, what are the rents at 678 Main Street? And so by asking, hey, so you're buying one, two, three Main Street, what are the comps for the rents after you renovate?   and they tell you, it's going to be 678 Main Street and 123 Smith Street, whatever it is, you can then go look up those properties and say, okay, well, it looks like a two bedroom at those properties is renting for 1200. Now I go back to the investor relations person or whatever information they gave me I see, oh, okay, after renovation, they have their rents at 1200. Makes sense. If that's a reasonable comp, they now have the rents at kind of where they should be.   If he says that six, seven, eight main streets, a comp, and you go look in a two bedroom at six, seven, eight main streets, 1200, but their underwriting tells you that after they do the renovation, they're going to be charging 1500. Well, why are you now $300 above this property that you said was a comp? And so that to me is kind of the first thing that I look at or the biggest thing I look at is what are the comps that they're using and does just a kind of first pass.   Scott (41:57.762) jumping on apartments.com or calling the complex and asking them what different things rent for. Does that coincide with what they're telling you their post renovation rents are gonna   Yeah, I love that man. I mean, it's not as simple as just going into an old dilapidated apartment building and saying, I'm to put granite countertops and hardwood flooring and stainless steel appliances in there. And then I'm going to triple the rent or double the rent. It's not that easy. If it's not in the right area that could support those, those market rents or that have potential tenants that want those types of things, it doesn't work. So that's why that's so important to check those comps to see what's around those apartments that you're going to be investing in to see if, they can achieve those.   those proforma rents. All right, man, before we jump into the freedom four, what's one last gold nugget for our listeners?   Absolutely.   Scott (42:45.634) Yeah, so again, what I would tell people is figure out your highest and best use on your active side. And then for the passive side, figure out how you're gonna scale. And I know a lot of people like to invest in a whole lot of different things, but I'm a big fan of doing some work so that you don't have to diversify as much. Diversification is great, but diversification,   is for people who aren't really an expert in anything. If you want to get your best returns, the way to get your highest level of returns is not to have to diversify. And the best way not to have to diversify is to get knowledgeable about whatever you're investing in. So if you decide you wanna invest in all your syndications, just cause that's what you and I do. So it's an easy example. If you want to invest in syndications and that's how you wanna grow your nest egg, my recommendation is,   get as much information about syndications as you can. Pick up a good book on syndications. Go find somebody that does syndications and say, hey, I'd to pay you a thousand bucks for five hours of your time. Or you just to walk me through what a typical deal looks like or what the underwriting looks like. Or go sit in on a hundred multifamily syndication investor videos, presentations. So you can see all the different things they're talking about and become as much of an expert there as you can. So that way you're reducing your risk without having to do a lot of the.   diversification. So focus on whatever your highest and best use of time is on your active income and then become as knowledgeable as you can for whatever you're investing in passively. What I like to say on the passive side is it's not truly passive. Nothing's truly passive. But the best investments are the one where all the work is done upfront. You do your due diligence and then it becomes passive.   Yeah, that's awesome, man. And then what you can do though is diversify within that strategy, right? Absolutely. Yeah, different asset types can have different business strategy, value add, or maybe you're dealing with just a class A where you're chasing yield or across different cities, different geographies, or across different sponsorship teams. There's other ways to diversify within that same type of investment strategy. Yep. All right, man, let's jump into the Freedom 4.   Scott (45:05.598) It's time for the Freedom Four.   What's the best thing you do to keep your mind and body healthy?   So for me, it's admitting when I need a break. I know so many people that it's a badge of honor to work 80 hours a week, 52 weeks a year, never take a vacation. I'm just the opposite. If I wake up one morning and I'm tired and I don't feel like working and I don't feel like I'm gonna be productive, I will grab a book. I might even turn on the TV. I might say to my wife, hey, let's go to breakfast or let's go spend the day, let's go to a movie.   And I have no qualms with just saying, I need a break today. Today's not gonna be a productive day. I don't need to pretend to work just so I can have that badge of honor that I work hard. And so, yeah, and that's one of the nice things about real estate. mean, I don't have a hundred percent flexible work-life balance. I can't do anything I want any time I want, but if I wanna take a couple hours off, I normally can. And so I'm not scared to do that.   Yeah, yeah, that's a great answer. With all your success, what is one limiting belief that you've crushed along the way and how did you get past it?   Scott (46:15.734) Yeah, I still have a lot of them. I think we all do. But I'd say the biggest one is that doing a big deal is not that much harder than doing a little deal. I'm not going to say a hundred million dollar deal is just as easy as a hundred thousand dollar deal. But if you're smart enough to do a hundred thousand dollar deal, you're smart enough to do a hundred million dollar deal. And the people that are out there doing those hundred million dollar deals, mean, we have, we now have a hundred million dollars assets under management.   I remember a couple of years ago, looking at the people that had nine figures under management and thinking, they're different. I can't do that. These are people, went to some school that I will never go to, or they were born into something that I was never born into, or they know people I don't know, or whatever it is. No, they're normal people. And the only difference between them and me was I wasn't thinking big enough.   and I wasn't willing to take some risks and I wasn't willing to acknowledge the fact that doing again, a hundred million dollar deal is certainly within my capabilities. So that to me has been probably the biggest one and it's made it a lot easier for me now to say, okay, $50 million deal, let's go do it, not think twice.   Yeah. I had a similar experience working in, in, big law, doing house flips, doing single family rentals, things like that. And even though my clients are doing 50, a hundred million dollar deals and I'm helping them close those deals, it was just like the mindset shift that, a minute, I can do those deals too. I'm actually giving them advice on how to, how to do this thing. I need to step up my game and, and, take some.   Exactly, it's the difference between people doing a hundred million, a hundred thousand, it's all mindset.   Seth Bradley (48:00.866) Yep, absolutely. What's one actual step our listeners can do right now to start creating more freedom.   take action. So the biggest thing that I see stopping people is just this fear to take the first step. And I know this doesn't apply to a lot of your listeners, but I talked to a lot of people who want to get into house flipping or they want to get into rentals and they've been thinking about it for years and they just never take that first step and then they end up giving up. One of the the few truisms I see in this business   is that there are two types of people I meet. Number one, I meet people that have never done a deal. They've done zero deals. And maybe they're still working on it. Maybe they've given up whatever it is, but they've done zero deals. And then the other type of people I meet in this business are people that have done a lot of deals. They've done five or 10 or 20 or 50 deals. There's one type of person I never ever meet in this business. And that's somebody that's done one deal. Because if you get that one deal, you're gonna get the second and the third and the fifth and the tenth.   Nobody does one deal and then says, okay, that's it, I'm done. can't do this. So what I like to tell people is, and that applies to a lot of things in life. If you can get over the hump and do it once, you're gonna get that snowball effect and it gets easier the second time. It gets even easier the third, it gets even easier the hundred. So don't give up until you achieve that first step or that first iteration of whatever it is you wanna achieve because that's gonna get that snowball rolling.   Yeah. Yeah. We preach that on their show all the time. Just like, you know, just do a deal, just invest in a deal so you can get that experience and it'll just kind of open up your mind to other opportunities. You'll just see opportunity all around you. Once you just do one deal last but not least, how it's passive income made your life better.   Scott (49:51.886) Passive income has given me the ability and the confidence to raise a family. Before this, my biggest concern with raising a family was I didn't want to be, I had, my parents were great, but my parents were always working. And I didn't want to be the same type of father that my parents were. Again, they were fantastic, but I wanted to always be there. I wanted to be at every soccer game, every piano recital.   I wanted to be able to go into school for the parent-teacher conferences. so passive income has really given me the ability to build my life around my family as opposed to building my life around   Love that, love that. It's been fantastic, brother. We're gonna listen and find out more about you.   Yeah, anybody wants to get more info, go to www.connectwithjscott, just letter J, Scott, connectwithjscott.com, and that'll link you out to everything you might wanna find.   Awesome man. Talk soon.   Scott (50:54.945) Awesome. Thanks,   All right, Mr. Jay Scott from Master House Flipper to multifamily syndicator. He's a master of creating profitable, well-oiled business machines. I've been reading Jay's bigger pockets books for years and it's awesome to have the opportunity to have him on the show today. Major key, focus.

Dan McConchie shattered expectations when he became the first paraplegic elected to the Illinois state legislature. His remarkable journey from military service to groundbreaking political advocacy unfolds in this raw, candid conversation recorded at the Abilities Expo in Chicago.McConchie's story begins with military service as Army infantry and military police from 1989 to 1998. Life changed dramatically when a hit-and-run motorcycle accident left him with a spinal cord injury in 2007. With extraordinary resilience, he rebuilt his life only to face another devastating setback—breaking his back a second time during adaptive skiing, which worsened his injury from T12 to T9. Rather than surrender to circumstance, McConchie channeled his experiences into public service.During eight and a half years in the Illinois Senate, McConchie transformed accessibility in government. Now leading a nonprofit focused on accessibility policy nationwide, McConchie continues fighting for practical solutions to everyday challenges faced by people with disabilities.The conversation delves into shared experiences of isolation and the profound importance of finding community among others who understand disability challenges. Through it all, McConchie's message resonates clearly: "How can I make the world a better place today with the powers that I've got?" His work proves that advocacy, education, and representation are powerful tools for creating a more accessible and inclusive society.

In this special bonus edition of Next on the Tee, I get to share time with two incredible guests who each taught me something game-changing—especially for those of us playing golf after 50. First up is fellow Yinzer and fan-favorite Rocco Mediate. Rocco was recently featured in the inspiring new documentary Steel Links, hosted by former Pirates star Neil Walker and featuring Pittsburgh icons like Charlie Batch and Carole Semple-Thompson. We talk about that project, but we also go deep into Rocco's memories of playing in the 1994 U.S. Open at Oakmont alongside Mr. Palmer during his final appearance in the championship. Despite needing back surgery, Rocco wasn't going to miss that moment. He shares what it was like inside the ropes with The King and what he said to him on the 18th green that sent Mr. Palmer's emotions over the edge. Rocco also shares his emotions following his recent victory at the Furyk & Friends event, plus he shares a tip he posted on Instagram that gave me 10 more yards and straighter shots—a true key to better golf after 50. Then I'm joined by PGA Tour veteran and elite instructor Larry Rinker. Larry opened my eyes to how much I still have to learn about the golf swing. He walks us through the Wright Balance system and its three swing models, explains what I was getting wrong, and provides clear insight that will help your game. We also reflect on his T12 finish at the 1992 Open at Muirfield, his Masters experience, including playing the Par 3 contest with Gary Player and Gay Brewer, and the pressure of surviving Q-School. He even shares a great tip for holing more downhill putts. It's a jam-packed, fun, and informative episode I know you'll enjoy.

Will Doctor gives you the sharpest card for the John Deere Classic. -Reviewing Detroit -Discussing top 8 favs on odds board -2 matchups -2 t20's -3 outrights (33/1, 80/1, 80/1) -Sleeper, 3 FRP -2 lineups, scoring, best bet Will Doctor opens his podcast with enthusiasm over Aldrich Potgieter's dramatic win at the Rocket Mortgage Classic. At just 20 years old, Potgieter emerged victorious in a five-hole playoff against Max Gray Sherman and Chris Kirk. Doctor notes he had picked Potgieter pre-tournament at 125-1 odds, resulting in a monumental gain of 125.8 units that flipped his season from -72.9 to +52.8 units. Potgieter's rounds of 62-70-65-69 highlighted both brilliance and resilience, especially his Saturday bogey-free 65 that earned him a two-shot lead. Despite criticism that most birdies came on the front nine, Doctor praises his short game, particularly ranking fifth in strokes gained around the greens in round three and gaining over a stroke total in that category. Chris Kirk, a six-time PGA Tour winner, had a promising start with back-to-back 65s. Despite dealing with recent game struggles and nearly withdrawing from the U.S. Open, he performed well and missed chances to win with two putts inside 16 feet on 18, in both regulation and the playoff. Max Gray Sherman impressed with birdies on two of his final three holes to make the playoff, including a 35-foot birdie on 16. Though he missed several putts in the playoff, Sherman's calm demeanor and improved ball striking stood out, crediting his caddy Adam Barmer. Doctor sees Sherman as a strong future contender. Doctor critiques Twitter pundits who downplayed Potgieter's Saturday round and emphasizes the significance of the playoff diversity: a 20-year-old, 30-year-old, and 40-year-old competing. He applauds CBS's emotional broadcast moments, such as shots of the players' fathers during the finale. Other notable performances included Will Gordon saving his PGA Tour card, Monday qualifier Brett White making the cut, and rising stars like Michael Thorbjornsen and Jackson Suber getting in the mix. He recaps bets: Potgieter's win was the headline; Champ and Sherman top-20 picks also cashed. Picks that failed included Stephen Jaeger, who struggled with his worst driving week in 25 starts, and Lee Hodges, who fell from contention with a poor third round. As he pivots to the John Deere Classic, Doctor emphasizes traits needed at TPC Deer Run—bombers off the tee, sharp wedge play inside 125 yards, and strong putting on bentgrass. He notes the course has the ninth-widest fairways on Tour, making driving accuracy less critical but not to be ignored. He analyzes top players: passes on Ben Griffin due to fatigue, but likes Jason Day for a top-10 finish citing strong approach stats from 125-150 yards. He dismisses Denny McCarthy at 28-1 due to recurring poor third rounds, weak approach metrics, and no PGA wins. JT Poston is faded for weak iron stats despite being a past Deere champion. Si Woo Kim is heavily criticized—missed cuts, poor putting, and negative recent stats. Doctor proposes betting Jason Day over Si Woo Kim and two other Kim fade matchups. Doctor's top pick is Michael Thorbjornsen at 33-1, citing elite driving (2nd on tour), strong recent finishes, and solid putting. Thriston Lawrence is his second outright at 80-1, noting improved ball striking and three top finishes in recent events, including T12 at Oakmont. Cam Champ, also at 80-1, rounds out the outrights. Champ has been positive in all stat categories the last two weeks and historically played well at Deer Run. Other bets include Jackson Koivun over Quade Cummins, Jason Day top 10 (+225), Champ top 20 (+320), and Thorbjornsen top 20 (+137) as the best bet. Doctor offers three first-round top-10 picks: Thorbjornsen, Pearson Cootie, and Champ. He concludes with two DFS lineups and predicts the winning score at -23.

Will Doctor gives you the sharpest card for the John Deere Classic. -Reviewing Detroit -Discussing top 8 favs on odds board -2 matchups -2 t20's -3 outrights (33/1, 80/1, 80/1) -Sleeper, 3 FRP -2 lineups, scoring, best bet Will Doctor opens his podcast with enthusiasm over Aldrich Potgieter's dramatic win at the Rocket Mortgage Classic. At just 20 years old, Potgieter emerged victorious in a five-hole playoff against Max Gray Sherman and Chris Kirk. Doctor notes he had picked Potgieter pre-tournament at 125-1 odds, resulting in a monumental gain of 125.8 units that flipped his season from -72.9 to +52.8 units. Potgieter's rounds of 62-70-65-69 highlighted both brilliance and resilience, especially his Saturday bogey-free 65 that earned him a two-shot lead. Despite criticism that most birdies came on the front nine, Doctor praises his short game, particularly ranking fifth in strokes gained around the greens in round three and gaining over a stroke total in that category. Chris Kirk, a six-time PGA Tour winner, had a promising start with back-to-back 65s. Despite dealing with recent game struggles and nearly withdrawing from the U.S. Open, he performed well and missed chances to win with two putts inside 16 feet on 18, in both regulation and the playoff. Max Gray Sherman impressed with birdies on two of his final three holes to make the playoff, including a 35-foot birdie on 16. Though he missed several putts in the playoff, Sherman's calm demeanor and improved ball striking stood out, crediting his caddy Adam Barmer. Doctor sees Sherman as a strong future contender. Doctor critiques Twitter pundits who downplayed Potgieter's Saturday round and emphasizes the significance of the playoff diversity: a 20-year-old, 30-year-old, and 40-year-old competing. He applauds CBS's emotional broadcast moments, such as shots of the players' fathers during the finale. Other notable performances included Will Gordon saving his PGA Tour card, Monday qualifier Brett White making the cut, and rising stars like Michael Thorbjornsen and Jackson Suber getting in the mix. He recaps bets: Potgieter's win was the headline; Champ and Sherman top-20 picks also cashed. Picks that failed included Stephen Jaeger, who struggled with his worst driving week in 25 starts, and Lee Hodges, who fell from contention with a poor third round. As he pivots to the John Deere Classic, Doctor emphasizes traits needed at TPC Deer Run—bombers off the tee, sharp wedge play inside 125 yards, and strong putting on bentgrass. He notes the course has the ninth-widest fairways on Tour, making driving accuracy less critical but not to be ignored. He analyzes top players: passes on Ben Griffin due to fatigue, but likes Jason Day for a top-10 finish citing strong approach stats from 125-150 yards.

It's been a massive month for Paralympian Jaryd Clifford. Fresh off breaking his own World Record in the T12 1500m, Jaryd joins Elise Beacom to talk about his race in Nice, France, where he ran 3:40.34 in a return to career-best form. Jaryd also speaks out about his competitor, Spanish athlete Yassine Ouhdadi who's recently been handed a three-year suspension after testing positive for banned anabolic steroid, Clostebol. Ouhdadi won gold in the T13 5000m at the Paris Paralympics and will forfeit his medal because the test sample was taken before the games. Ouhdadi beat Jaryd (who won silver) at both T13 5000m events at the Tokyo Paralympics in 2021 and the World Championships in Paris 2023.

  Summary In this Pain Exam Podcast episode, Dr. David Rosenblum discusses a journal club article on low volume neurolytic retrocrural celiac plexus blocks for visceral cancer pain. The study reviewed 507 patients with severe malignancy-related abdominal pain, with data retained for 455 patients at the 5-month mark. Dr. Rosenblum explains that the procedure involves injecting 3-5ml of 6% aqueous phenol at the T12-L1 level under fluoroscopic guidance, with an average procedure time of 16.3 minutes. The study found significant pain relief lasting up to six months, reduced opioid consumption, and improved quality of life for patients with primary abdominal cancer or metastatic disease. Dr. Rosenblum shares his personal experience with celiac plexus blocks, including the trans-aortic approach he trained on, and mentions his interest in ultrasound-guided approaches. He also announces upcoming teaching engagements at ASPN, Pain Week, and other conferences, as well as CME ultrasound courses available through nrappain.org. Additionally, he mentions a new community page on the website where users can share board preparation information, though he emphasizes that remembered board questions should not be posted as he is a board question writer himself.

He mentions teaching ultrasound at ASPN in July, attending Pain Week in September, and participating in the Latin American Pain Society conference. Dr. Rosenblum also promotes his CME ultrasound courses available at nrappain.org and mentions he's considering organizing another regenerative medicine course in fall or winter. He offers private training for those wanting more intensive ultrasound instruction. Board Prep Community Announcement Dr. Rosenblum announces a new community page on the nrappain.org website for board preparation. He explains that registered users can access free information and keywords relevant to board exams. He emphasizes that users should not post remembered questions as this would be inappropriate, noting that he himself is a board question writer for various pain boards. Dr. Rosenblum mentions that a post about phenol in this community inspired today's podcast topic. Journal Article Overview on Celiac Plexus Block Dr. Rosenblum introduces a journal article on low volume neurolytic retrocrural celiac plexus block for visceral cancer pain, a retrospective review of 507 patients with severe malignancy-related abdominal pain. He explains that the study assessed pain relief provided by this procedure, its duration, reduction in daily opioid consumption, and quality of life improvements. The patients received neurolytic blocks without previous diagnostic blocks due to multiple comorbidities, which Dr. Rosenblum acknowledges is sometimes necessary with very sick patients despite the typical preference for diagnostic blocks before neurolysis. Dr. Rosenblum's Personal Experience with Celiac Plexus Blocks Dr. Rosenblum shares his personal training experience with trans-aortic celiac plexus blocks, where a needle is inserted through the aorta after confirming no plaques or aneurysms are present. He describes it as a safe and effective procedure despite sounding intimidating. He mentions he's only performed a handful of these procedures and doesn't do many now as an outpatient pain doctor. Study Methods and Results Dr. Rosenblum details the study methods, noting that of 507 patients studied, data for 455 was retained at the end of the review. Patients were evaluated before and after the neurolytic retrocrural celiac plexus block under fluoroscopic guidance. Assessment included procedure duration, pain scores (0-10 scale), daily opioid consumption, and quality of life improvement. Follow-up was completed six months after the procedure, showing improved pain scores, reduced opioid consumption, and better quality of life throughout the study period. Some pain returned during months 4-6 due to disease progression and the anticipated duration of the neurolytic agent. The study noted a 6.7% initial vascular contrast uptake during the procedure while using digital subtraction angiography with fluoroscopy. Study Limitations and Conclusions Dr. Rosenblum discusses the study's limitations, including the need for a larger sample size and a prospective trial with a control group, though he acknowledges this is unrealistic given the patient population. He mentions that a proven quality of life questionnaire would be beneficial, and that comparing alcohol, phenol, and RF thermocoagulation would be interesting to evaluate duration effects and side effects. The study concluded that low volume neurolytic retrocrural celiac plexus block with phenol is safe, providing up to six months of pain relief for abdominal pain due to primary malignancy or metastatic spread. Detailed Procedure Technique Dr. Rosenblum explains the detailed procedure technique used in the study. The retrocrural celiac plexus was targeted at L1 level with aim towards T12. Anterior and posterior radiographic imaging aligning the spinous process of T12-L1 junction was used with 15-20 degree oblique rotation. Local anesthetic (1% lidocaine with sodium bicarbonate) was infiltrated along the injection path. A 22 or 25 gauge 3.5-7 inch curved spinal needle was used depending on patient body habitus. Dr. Rosenblum notes he typically uses a 6-inch Chiba needle or 25 gauge spinal needle for such procedures. Procedure Execution and Monitoring Dr. Rosenblum continues describing the procedure, noting that the needle was advanced to the anterior border of T12-L1 under multiple imaging views. Contrast dye studies verified spread and location, with digital subtraction angiography used to check for intravascular uptake. A test dose of 1ml of 0.5% bupivacaine with epinephrine per site was administered, which Dr. Rosenblum finds interesting as he typically doesn't mix bupivacaine with epinephrine. After confirming no vascular uptake, 3-5ml of 6% aqueous phenol was injected in 1ml aliquots while communicating with the patient. The average procedure time was 16.3 minutes with minimal or no sedation. Patients remained prone for 30 minutes afterward to avoid neuroforaminal spread, as phenol is heavier and more viscous than alcohol. Post-Procedure Care and Study Evaluation Dr. Rosenblum explains that patients were monitored in recovery for one hour for adverse events and their ability to eat and void easily. They were discharged once hospital post-anesthetic criteria were met and received a follow-up call 24 hours later. Dr. Rosenblum praises the study and notes that the procedure looks similar to a lumbar sympathetic plexus block, which is also a sympathetic block. Ultrasound Considerations and Alternative Approaches Dr. Rosenblum shares his interest in ultrasound-guided celiac plexus blocks but acknowledges concerns about bowel perforation. He mentions a conversation with an interventional radiology colleague who suggested a transhepatic approach. Dr. Rosenblum recalls scanning a very thin patient where the aorta was easily visible and close to the anterior abdominal wall, making the celiac plexus potentially accessible if bowel perforation, liver bleeding, or gallbladder perforation could be avoided. He shares an experience with a patient suffering from severe pancreatitis pain who received temporary relief from a paravertebral thoracic nerve block at T8-T10, noting that paravertebral blocks provide some sympathetic spread. Conclusion and Community Resource Reminder Dr. Rosenblum concludes by recommending the article, noting its well-written analysis and graphs showing morphine consumption dropping over months following the procedure. He suggests neurolytic procedures are underutilized because they sound intimidating. He again encourages listeners to check out the community he created with separate chat rooms for regenerative medicine, regional anesthesia, and pain boards, where users can share keywords but not specific board questions. Dr. Rosenblum reminds listeners about upcoming courses and his website resources, mentions an upcoming PRP lecture, and asks for five-star reviews if listeners enjoy the podcast. The episode ends with a standard medical disclaimer. Reference https://www.painphysicianjournal.com/current/pdf?article=NTQwOA%3D%3D&journal=113

Era el año 2006. Juan Carlos Cornejo Martínez tenía 22 años y trabajaba en una granja de cerdos. Una de las labores de aquel rockero de pelo largo, residente en la colonia Santa Rita de El Congo, en Santa Ana, era revisar los niveles de agua de las cisternas, colocadas a unos diez metros de altura. Aquel 7 de septiembre de 2006 había llovido. Juan Carlos subió hasta la cisterna como a la una de la tarde, pero cuando intentó pararse sobre el plástico resbaló y cayó de espalda contra el suelo. El accidente laboral lo dejó discapacitado de por vida debido a una lesión en la columna vertebral.El expediente del Seguro Social dice que “tiene barras HASH en la columna” y “un traumatismo a nivel de T12 y en múltiples ocasiones ha consultado por diversos dolores en la zona lumbar”. Pese a los terribles dolores y la necesidad diaria de medicinas (codeína, ampicilina y gabapentina), Juan Carlos siguió trabajando como auxiliar veterinario hasta 2013, cuando la empresa cerró. Entonces, montó un refugio de perros en su casa, algo que le permitió proyectarse y ganar clientes para atender animales en la zona donde vive con su esposa y sus dos hijas menores de edad.El 10 de enero de 2024, los policías Joel Alfonso Rivera Hernández y Guillermo Alfonso Linares Osorio le dijeron que necesitaban verificar unos datos del vehículo de su esposa y lo subieron a una patrulla policial. Ya en la delegación aparecieron pruebas de sus nexos con las pandillas como por arte de magia: primero, le dijeron que el sistema 123 registró en noviembre de 2023 una llamada anónima que lo acusaba de extorsionar y amenazar a negociantes de la colonia. Al siguiente día, apareció una ficha policial que lo etiquetaba como miembro activo de la pandilla Barrio 18, en la categoría de “homeboy”.“Tiene procesos abiertos por extorsionar, al menos cuatro víctimas lo denunciaron (...) Desde hoy, las familias estarán tranquilas y este homeboy pagará por sus delitos”, consigna un tuit de la cuenta oficial de la Policía en la red social X. La Policía mintió. Juan Carlos no tenía casos pendientes por extorsión y, luego de su captura, tampoco fue procesado por ese delito. Las autoridades usaron información falsa para justificar el arresto, como en otros casos documentados por este periódico. El albañil José Alfredo Grande Martínez fue acusado falsamente por el Ministro de Seguridad Gustavo Villatoro de colaborar con una pandilla; al rapero Nelson Vladimir Hernández Tobar, una ficha policial lo convirtió en pandillero de la noche a la mañana. La base del régimen de excepción son capturas sin investigación, basadas en criterios ambiguos de la Policía.Juan Carlos suplicó a la Policía y al Juez Uno del Tribunal Segundo Contra el Crimen Organizado de Santa Ana que no lo enviaran a un penal por su delicada condición de salud, pero nadie le escuchó. El juzgado pidió un informe al Seguro Social, pero se equivocó de correo electrónico. Por este error, Juan Carlos estuvo encarcelado en el penal de Izalco desde febrero hasta junio de 2024.Esta es la historia de cómo el régimen de excepción maltrató a un discapacitado. Esta es la historia paradójica de cómo alguien que sufrió el desplazamiento forzado de las pandillas hoy es acusado de formar parte de las pandillas. Esta es la historia de un hombre que entró al penal de Izalco con problemas para caminar, pero que al salir acumulaba otras enfermedades que no padecía antes de su arresto: diabetes, problemas cardíacos y gástricos, escabiosis y una infección con la bacteria Estafilococo Dorado, por la cual casi le amputan el pie izquierdo.

From Marine Corps infantry and firefighter-paramedic to building a $130 million multifamily empire, David Lilley shares his remarkable journey of raising over $38 million in capital and acquiring more than 1,000 units since 2018. In this compelling episode, Lilley reveals the critical lessons learned from his first challenging $450,000 raise, his strategic decision to focus on the Dallas-Fort Worth market, and how reaching his 10th deal marked a turning point where capital raising became significantly easier.Key Takeaways to Listen For:Building Your Track Record: The 10th deal is often a crucial milestone where capital raising becomes significantly easier. Conservative Underwriting in Current Market: For 2024, Lilley is underwriting deals with zero percent rent growth in Dallas-Fort Worth, despite third-party projections of 1-3%. Network Development Strategy: Success in capital raising comes through multiple channels - LinkedIn content creation, podcast appearances, and networking events. Market Entry Approach: When starting out, finding a mentor with experience is crucial. Lilley notes that he learned more from operating his first 6-unit property than from a year of studying and reading, emphasizing the value of guided, hands-on experience.Asset Management Reality: Operating older vintage properties (60s-80s) often involves significantly higher repair and maintenance costs than what appears in the seller's T12 statements. About Tim MaiTim Mai is a real estate investor, fund manager, mentor, and founder of HERO Mastermind for REI coaches.He has helped many real estate investors and coaches become millionaires.

Jaryd Clifford experienced one of the cruellest Paralympic Games you could imagine. First, he was disqualified in the 5000m after crossing the line in bronze medal position. To really rub salt in the wounds, he missed out on another bronze in the 1500m by 0.01 of a second. Ouch. In his first podcast appearance since his Paris heartbreak, Jaryd speaks about what went wrong, the lessons he learnt the hard way and how he's bouncing back with optimism and excitement for the future. We talk about the positives that can come from experiencing failure and why your inner circle is so important for helping you recover from disappointment. The lessons in resilience that Jaryd shares can honestly be applied to anyone in any situation. This is a must listen! At the age of 25, Jaryd Clifford has already achieved so much. He's a world champion, world record holder and three-time Paralympian for Australia in the category for vision impairment across multiple distances. He won two silver medals in the T13 5000m and the T12 marathon, and a bronze in the T13 1500m at the Paralympics in Tokyo. Jaryd is sponsored by Nike, has a Bachelor of Arts in International Relations and Politics/Criminology, and does public speaking in his spare time. -- Jaryd's Instagram: @jarydclifford Run With It Instagram: @runwithit.pod Intro/outro music by Dan Beacom Graphic design by Kate Scheer

Hablamos con Mia Carol, guía de la atleta Elena Congost, tras su descalificación en la maratón T12 de los juegos paralímpicos de París.

El atleta español declaró en el micrófono de COPE que es "un placer poder compartir estos momentos con toda la gente" y  se mostró "muy contento de conseguir esta medalla" aunque reconoció que tuvo momentos "muy bonitos dentro de la carrera, pero también de crisis físico y mental".En Londres 2012 se hizo con la medalla de oro en maratón T12, a la que sumó una plata en Río 2016. En Tokio alcanzó el diploma con un quinto puesto en la prueba de maratón. "Fue un momento agridulce. Conseguimos el diploma, que está muy bien, pero esa lesión no nos dejó competir", reflexionó sobre su participación en Tokio.En 2023, el atleta asturiano compitió en el maratón de Valencia y consiguió la mínima B con la que consiguió la clasificación para los Juegos Paralímpicos de París, evento al que "veníamos en un estado de forma perfecto para ser competitivos" y afirmó que "tuvimos un año perfecto, no podemos tener queja".El maratón, con salida en el Parque Georges Valbon-La ...

A comitiva cabo-verdiana nos Jogos Paralímpicos que decorrem em Paris, a capital francesa, conta com dois atletas: Marilson Fernandes Semedo no lançamento do dardo F57 e Heidilene Patricia Oliveira Lopes nos 100 e 200 metros T12. A final da prova de lançamento do dardo F57, categoria para pessoas com transtorno do movimento de baixo grau em uma das pernas, de grau moderado em ambos os pés ou com ausência de membros, decorreu no passado sábado 31 de Agosto no Stade de France, o estádio principal dos Jogos Paralímpicos.Onze atletas lutaram pelas medalhas, entre eles o cabo-verdiano Marilson Fernandes Semedo que foi o terceiro a lançar o dardo.Nesta modalidade do atletismo, cada atleta lança sucessivamente os seis lançamentos que tem. O terceiro a entrar em acção na prova foi o cabo-verdiano Marilson Fernandes Semedo.No primeiro lançamento, o atleta de Cabo Verde alcançou a marca de 39, 97 metros, novo recorde pessoal e novo recorde nacional.Marilson Fernandes Semedo não conseguiu melhorar nos cinco lançamentos seguintes, terminando no 9° lugar na prova.Cabo Verde tem um novo recorde nacional na prova de lançamento do dardo F57 com 39,97 metros, marca alcançada pelo atleta Marilson Fernandes Semedo.Recorde-se que em 2021, em Tóquio, no Japão, o atleta cabo-verdiano tinha alcançado o 10° lugar.Em declarações exclusivas à RFI, Marilson Fernandes Semedo estava satisfeito com a prova que realizou, bem como pelo novo recorde nacional. No entanto o atleta cabo-verdiano, amputado da perna direita, afirmou que poderia alcançar melhores resultados se tivesse melhores condições para a prática desta modalidade, sobretudo a nível financeiro.Marilson Fernandes Semedo, atleta cabo-verdiano, que terminou no 9° lugar na prova.De referir que o vencedor do concurso do lançamento do dardo foi Yorkinbek Odilov do Uzbequistão com 50,32 metros. A medalha de prata foi conquistada pelo turco Muhammet Khalvandi e a medalha de bronze pelo brasileiro Cícero Valdiran Lins Nobre.Quanto a atleta cabo-verdiana Heidilene Patricia Oliveira Lopes vai entrar em acção nesta quarta-feira nos 100 metros, e na sexta-feira nos 200 metros, sempre na categoria T12 para pessoas com deficiência visual.Os Jogos Paralímpicos decorrem em Paris, a capital francesa, até 08 de Setembro.

A delegação paralímpica moçambicana chegou a França há mais de um mês para fazer um estágio intensivo em Nueil-les-Aubiers. "A nossa expectativa é chegar à medalha. Estar numa final, ter um recorde africano e ter uma medalha paralímpica", descreve o chefe do Comité Paralímpico moçambicano, Luís Mouliaã. RFI: A delegação de Moçambique conta com uma atleta, Edmilsa Governo, que já ganhou um prémio paralímpico?Luís Mouliaã: De facto, a nossa atleta Edmilsa Governo já teve uma medalha paralímpica no Rio de Janeiro, ganhou o bronze nos 400 metros. Estamos muito esperançosos que se volte a repetir agora em Paris.Prepararam os Jogos Paralímpicos com um estágio intensivo em Nueil-les-Aubier. Como é que se organizou este estágio?Correu bem, tivemos este estágio com Cabo Verde, Angola, São Tomé e Príncipe e Guiné-Bissau. Começamos a falar deste estágio no princípio do ano e finalmente conseguimos vir para cá. Convidaram-nos e tivemos a sorte de poder fazer este estágio aqui em França, que foi muito produtivo.O que é que muda a fazer este estágio a três semanas dos Jogos Paralímpicos? Nesta altura em Moçambique está mais frio do que em França. Imagino que seja também uma fase transitória de preparação?De facto, nós estamos no Inverno em Moçambique, embora seja um Inverno muito suave, mas sobretudo os dias são muito curtos. O sol vai embora a partir das 17h30. Aqui em Paris temos sol até quase às 22 horas e isso muda também a percepção da competição porque uma das provas, a série dos 400 metros, a Edmilsa vai correr às 21 horas. O facto de estarmos cá antes, de nos podermos adaptar a este novo horário, embora estejamos no mesmo fuso horário, muda a percepção do dia e a temperatura.Faz muita diferença correr às 9 horas ou às 21 horas?Faz diferença sim, claro, sobretudo durante a preparação. A atleta tem que estar pronta para correr de manhã ou à noite. A série dos 400 metros vai decorrer às 21 horas, mas a final será de manhã, às 10 horas. A atleta tem que estar apta para correr de manhã e de tarde. Para além disso, outros dos benefícios em estar cá antes foi a concentração da atleta. Não é a mesma coisa estar em casa e sair para treinar no estádio, estar com os amigos, a família, do que estar apenas concentrada no treino. Tivemos acesso à piscina, ao ginásio, à pista. A atleta está bem concentrada e consciente do que vem cá fazer.A atleta moçambicana, Edmilson Governo, corre na serie dos 400 metros, na categoria T12?Na verdade, ela correu no Rio de Janeiro, na classe T12. T12 significa baixa visão e ela agora está correndo no T13.Temos três classes desportivas para a deficiência visual, para aqueles que correm em pista T11, são cegos totais ou quase totais. T12 tem um pouco de visão e os seus parâmetros de campo visual e acuidade visual e T13 que é o limite para ser elegível para ser atleta paralímpico.Nas classes 12 e 13, a classificação dos atletas pode mudar. Esta é uma questão bastante subjectiva da pessoa que classifica poder classificar como T12 ou T13. Existem parâmetros objectivos, mas também existe uma parte subjectiva nessa classificação.E qual é o processo para essa classificação?Existem competições internacionais pela World Athletics, que assume o processo de classificação, algumas têm todas as classificações física, visual, intelectual ou apenas física, intelectual. É preciso ir a uma competição internacional com especialistas na classificação para ter uma classe oficial que serve para competir em provas internacionais.O que é que espera destes Jogos Paralímpicos de Paris? Voltar a conquistar uma medalha, desta vez de prata ou de ouro?Essa nossa expectativa. De facto, seria o desejado. Não só a medalha de bronze, mas também ter uma final, ter um recorde africano e ter uma medalha paralímpica.Por que motivo é que os PALOP competem sobretudo na modalidade de atletismo. É uma coincidência?Nos países de África e, especificamente falando de Moçambique, o atletismo é uma das modalidades mais fáceis de praticar ou de investir porque não exige que a delegação seja grande. Não é a mesma coisa ter uma equipe de voleibol que precisa de 12, 15, 16 pessoas para viajar para a competição, do que ter um atleta e um treinador para ir a uma competição. O investimento é muito menor.Nos países como Moçambique, em que temos pouco apoio de parceiros nacionais, do governo especificamente e de parceiros privados, há que se focar muito bem na competição e na quantidade de pessoas que podem ir a essas competições. O atletismo é uma aposta, por ser uma modalidade individual.Estão presentes 4400 atletas, os melhores dos melhores atletas paralímpicos. Como é que descreve o dia-a-dia na vila paralímpica?Temos ouvido muitos comentários não muito bons por parte dos Olímpicos, com muitas publicações nas redes acerca das refeições ou da hospedagem. Acredito que dependa da expectativa que cada um. Pela nossa parte, a comida está muito bem. Não temos nenhuma queixa, é variada, e temos muito espaço nos quartos.Está tudo a correr bem, pelo menos onde a nossa delegação está instalada. O ambiente é muito bom, tem muitos espaços para diversão, treino, ginásio, para tudo o que o atleta precisa. O ambiente é muito agradável e não temos nenhuma queixa a fazer em relação à vila paralímpica.As acessibilidades são um dos pontos importantes na questão material, das infra-estruturas e dos transportes, mas também temos a questão imaterial que é dar a conhecer a realidade paralímpica e destruir os tabus que se criam em torno da diferença.Quanto à acessibilidade tem havido muito esforço em criar instalações acessíveis em todo o lado. Temos tantas pessoas em cadeiras de rodas e elas podem mexer-se à vontade e vão com facilidade a qualquer ponto da vila. Os transportes são acessíveis em todas as residências. Os refeitórios ou ginásios têm máquinas que são acessíveis, há  muitos voluntários para ajudar em qualquer momento e em qualquer situação.O ambiente é de festa?É um ambiente muito agradável, São todos muito simpáticos. O ambiente no refeitório, no ginásio, nos corredores com todos os países está a ser vivido com festa e acredito que que o ambiente perfeito.

"As deficiências físicas de muitos atletas são consequências de guerras, doenças ou acidentes e operações", afirma o presidente do comité paralímpico de Cabo Verde e membro do comité paralímpico internacional, José Rodrigo Bejarano. RFI: Cabo Verde tem dois atletas a participar nestes Jogos Paralímpicos. Pode descrever-nos a delegação de Cabo Verde?José Rodrigo Bejarano: Não vamos só participar. Antes utilizávamos esse termo e agora falamos em competição. Os nossos dois atletas têm resultados bastante interessantes. Começamos com o atleta feminina Heidilene Oliveira; ela é uma atleta com limitações visuais da categoria T12. Ela vai correr com o seu guia e vai fazer a competição de 100 e 200 metros. Depois temos o atleta Marilson Semedo; amputado de perna e vai fazer lançamento de dardo na categoria 57.São atletas que não estão aqui para participar, mas para competir. O que é que mudou para passarmos do verbo participar ao Competir?Eu acho que é o evento, isto não é uma passarela. O evento demonstra atletas de altíssimo nível. São pessoas que treinam igual, mais e têm muito mais desafios que os atletas convencionais, os olímpicos. Além dos já conhecidos obstáculos, desafios diários, têm as suas limitações físicas e sensoriais e isso acrescenta mais ao valor da competição. A terminologia não estava errada porque são participantes de um evento, mas eles estão aqui a competir e isso que nós queremos ver.Enumerou as categorias nos quais os atletas cabo-verdianos vão competir. Como é que se prepararam para estar aqui?A maioria dos atletas já tem um percurso. O Marilson, por exemplo, participou em Tóquio e é a segunda vez que vai participar. São atletas que já estão a preparar-se para a competição há muito tempo.A Heidilene também é uma atleta que está constantemente a treinar. Eles combinam as suas actividades normais escolares, na universidade e as coisas quotidianas com os treinos. Evidentemente que gostaríamos de ter melhores condições, recursos humanos que trabalharem com eles mais de perto. Só para te dar uma ideia, a treinadora de Marilson é cubana e ela treina-o a partir de Cuba para Cabo Verde.É o Presidente do Comité Paralímpico de Cabo Verde. O que é que espera destes dois atletas?Estou contente porque vamos ver a bandeira de Cabo Verde e mostramos, uma vez mais que somos um país inclusivo, resiliente. Temos outros desafios, outras situações, mas esta especificamente, desde o ano 1998, estamos presentes desde que fundamos o Comité. Sempre tivemos apoio de acordo com as possibilidades do nosso país. Lembro  que Cabo Verde é um país muito jovem, tinha os seus próprios desafios, tem seus próprios objectivos. Ver o desporto como uma ferramenta de inclusão é importante.Em Cabo Verde, já há uma inclusão no desporto massiva ou ainda há trabalho por fazer?Não sei se massiva, por exemplo, nas nove ilhas habitadas, todas têm uma instituição, um pequeno comité, uma associação regional de desporto. Isso já quer dizer alguma coisa, inclusive a mais pequena que é a ilha do Maio- onde há menos população. Há jogos escolares, incluíram algumas modalidades para os jovens com algumas limitações físicas, sensoriais, com deficiência. Isso já é algo muito. A lei de base do sistema desportivo cabo-verdiano inclui os atletas paralímpicos. Só para dar uma ideia, os prémios que ganham um ganhador de medalha olímpica têm o mesmo valor de medalha paralímpica, inclusive os nossos dois Comités Olímpicos e Paralímpicos têm uma visão de juntar os dois comités, como fazem os Estados Unidos, os Países Baixos, a África do Sul Queremos ser talvez o primeiro país pequeno em conseguir este. Hoje estamos pelo bom caminho.Por que motivo a maior parte dos países não o faz?Acredito que são vários factores. Eu trabalhei durante 12 anos como secretário-geral do Movimento paralímpico africano. Infelizmente, muitos comités estão de costas viradas, querem protagonismo. Outro motivo é que, talvez, não tenham capacidade e a visão ainda das coisas positivas que podem sair ao juntar as mesmas formações, as mesmas oportunidades, a mesma valorização.Foi secretário do Movimento Paralímpico africano. Como é que se posicionam os países africanos hoje nos Jogos Paralímpicos?O continente africano é a região do Comité Paralímpico Internacional maior. Em África temos 54 países, entre os quais  48 comités paralímpicos registados, ainda faltam uns quatro ou cinco. Temos diferentes níveis; se falarmos de África do Sul, Egipto, Marrocos, Argélia, Nigéria, estamos a falar de comités vencedores de medalhas, de recordes mundiais. Depois há os países médios como Angola, Ruanda, Quénia. Depois os mais pequenos, do nosso tamanho, com a nossa dimensão e capacidade financeira. Evidentemente que Cabo Verde nunca vai ter uma delegação como a que tem a Nigéria, um país com 200 milhões de pessoas, nós só temos meio milhão de habitantes. Mas esta região africana é a que deveria servir, talvez para mim, de exemplo para o mundo inteiro.A maioria dos atletas que participam no movimento paralímpico são produto de guerras tipo Ruanda, Angola, onde há muitos amputados ou algumas doenças que já foram erradicadas há 40 anos, como o pólio. Ainda há alguns casos em África e outras vítimas de acidentes e operações, fenómenos que já foram ultrapassados ou não existem noutros países, são os que fazem com que o continente tenha o desafio de se organizar para dar oportunidade a esta população. Há muitos países que não dão importância suficiente, não somente o desporto convencional, mas muito mais a desporto paralímpico.Há pouco falava das categorias dos atletas cabo-verdianos F57 e T12. Que categorias são estas? É muito interessante. Quando cheguei a primeira vez a umas competições, tive que aprender, eles começaram a perguntar-me que atletas tinha. Eles diziam; ‘tenho uma T12 50' e eu não entendia do que se tratava. As letras são para definir o desporto e o número, por exemplo, 5, quer  dizer que é amputado da perna. Se ele é amputado de perna abaixo de joelho, é um número, na altura do joelho é outro número.. 55, 56, 57. Se for de braço, seriam 40.A Heidilene tem uma deficiência visual. A deficiência visual corresponde aos números 11, 12 e 13. Como é ela corredora  é T de Track. 11 é totalmente cego, 12 vê umas luzes e 13 já tem uma mínima visão para poder competir com mais técnica. Esta terminologia é interessante porque agora é globalizada. Todos utilizam uma classificação para todo mundo geral.A atleta cabo-verdiana vai ser acompanhada por uma guia. A guia tem que treinar também. Como é que tudo acontece ?Eu costumo dizer que tenho três atletas, mas só dois vão competir. Os guias são muito importantes porque têm de acompanhar, tem que se preparar de igual forma que o atleta. Antes de chegar à meta, os guias não podem passar à frente na linha final e devem recuar um pouco. Para isso tem que prestar muita atenção porque se o guia passar primeiro na meta, a corrida é anulada.Têm de estar com muita atenção  para não tropeçar, ir ao mesmo ritmo, saber quando um atleta vai muito mais rápido. Às vezes ele está excitado e tem que acompanhar. São como uma sombra é nisso consiste ser um guia. Este é um trabalho muito louvável, muito profissional.Há três semanas, os Jogos Olímpicos foram vividos com euforia. Cabo Verde conquistou a primeira medalha olímpica. Espera que estes Jogos Paralímpicos também proporcionem esta sensação de euforia e de festa?Gostaríamos muito, seria um sonho. Não fizemos primeiro, vencemos a primeira medalha de uma competição da categoria dos Paralímpicos no Rio de Janeiro, em 2016, independentemente de ser olímpicos ou não. Foi uma alegria nacional, colocámos o nome de Cabo Verde no mapa dos medalhistas paralímpicos.Ficámos muito felizes com David, que ganhou a sua medalha também de bronze para Cabo Verde. Como dizem os brasileiros, tomara que se repita. Sabemos que é um desafio muito grande. O nível dos atletas é muito alto para cada classificação desportiva. Se a medalha vier, vai ser  uma alegria extra, mas também nós sabemos que os cabo-verdianos ficam muito felizes de ver nossa bandeira desfilar nos Campos Elísios, em Paris, onde temos em França uma comunidade muito grande.

In this episode, I had the privilege of speaking with Joci Scott, a multi-talented actress, singer, dancer, and content creator based in Los Angeles. At the age of 20, Joci's life took a dramatic turn when she became paralyzed due to a T12 spinal cord injury sustained in a plane crash. Despite the glaring absence of wheelchair users in her favorite movies and TV shows, Joci's determination to pursue her dream of acting never wavered. Her journey is one of resilience and unwavering commitment to advocating for equal and authentic representation of people with disabilities in the entertainment industry. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/lmbdl/message

In this episode I sit down with my dad Mike Kerr. We discuss the fire service back in the day and how it has changed. My dad tells his story about his love of the fire service as a kid and how he got started as a volunteer in Prince Georges County in Greenbelt, to becoming a career firefighter with the DCFD as a Tillerman at T12.  Our family moved from Prince Georges County to Montgomery County, where he became a volunteer with the Burtonsville Vol. Fire Dept. He moved through the volunteer ranks and eventually became the longest serving chief. He honed his leadership skills and became a respected Chief through the county.

Explore the changing landscape of storage rents, financial considerations when investing, and the benefits of single asset syndication and funds for LPs. Get ready for a deep dive into the self-storage sector with an experienced investor with Jacob Vanderslice, co-founder of Van West Partners. About Jacob VandersliceJacob Vanderslice is the co-founder of VanWest Partners, which focuses on commercial real estate, including adaptive reuse retail and multifamily properties. Since 2015, they have specialized in self-storage acquisitions and development, with Jacob leading the investor relations team and leveraging his 15+ years of experience in investing and operating self-storage facilities.Here are some power takeaways from today's conversation:[06:21] Self-storage performance during economic uncertainty[13:18] Considerations for acquisition or development decisions[26:07] Consider your financial goals when investing in storage and other fund vehicles[27:55] Why analysis for storage is complicated[29:07] The changing landscape of storage rents[31:56] The pros and cons of the fund to the LPEpisode Highlights:[26:07] Consider Your Financial Goals When Investing in Storage or Other Private Fund VehiclesWhen investing in storage or other private fund vehicles, consider your financial goals. Quick exits for high IRR and low multiples may be appealing, but relying on short-term exits in the current market conditions requires caution. The past trends of compressing cap rates, rising rents, and low cost of capital may not be sustainable. Instead, focus on long-term cash flow, depreciation benefits, and potential capital appreciation. Seize opportunities without banking on immediate sales and be prepared for a longer investment horizon. [29:07] The Changing Landscape of Storage Rents: A Cautionary TaleWhen evaluating storage investments, it's important to be cautious about relying on historical rental rates. Traditionally, investors would analyze T12 rental data, but with evolving consumer demand, this approach is no longer reliable. Acquisitions are now based on more recent data and current market conditions. For example, in Lakeland, Florida, there has been a softening in the market, leading to anticipated rent decreases. It's crucial to access up-to-date information and adjust expectations as historical benchmarks may not reflect the current landscape of storage rents.[32:56] Exploring the Pros and Cons of Single Asset Syndication and Funds for LPsSingle asset syndication provides control and focus for investors who prefer choosing specific deals and markets. However, if an investment underperforms, there are no other sources of value creation to offset the negative performance. Funds, on the other hand, offer geographic and cash flow diversification through multiple properties, balancing out underperforming investments with successful ones. LPs have limited say in deal selection and market decisions in funds and may face challenges such as filing multiple state tax returns. While single asset syndication allows for precise deal selection, it carries higher risk. LPs should consider their preferences and risk tolerance when deciding between these investment options.

Hello and welcome to another episode of the Think Multifamily podcast, where we break down the complexities of multifamily investing.  Today, we have a special treat for our listeners. We're joined by the master of multifamily himself, Mark Kenney, who will be providing us with exclusive insights into the benefits of coaching with Think Multifamily.   Have you ever wondered what happens when a Think Multifamily coaching client submits a multifamily deal for review?   Today, you get a sneak peek into that process. Mark will be discussing the crucial things he looks for in the deal analysis before making suggestions to the client about the acquisition. He'll discuss factors like the property's year, class, occupancy, and location to get a holistic view of the property. He'll evaluate the asking price and dig into CapEx - the money that will be spent on the property and how it's allocated between interior and exterior improvements.   Mark will walk us through the timeframe of the proposed rehab and the rent plan - is there potential to increase rents? He'll evaluate unit size because if units are too small, securing a loan could be challenging.   He'll also dive into the intricate details of loan information. He'll explore closing costs with different types of loans – conventional, bridge loan – and discuss the variations that come with different loan types. He'll examine other potential fees and the provision for working capital.   In addition, Mark will delve into T12 analysis, looking at factors like property taxes, insurance, industry standards, and utilities. Finally, he'll discuss how the member is structuring the deal and the splits between the general partner team and the passive investors.   Join us as we take a deep dive into the multifaceted world of deal analysis with Mark Kenney. This episode promises a wealth of knowledge for everyone, whether you're a seasoned investor or a newbie looking to break into the world of multifamily investing.   So stay tuned, Think Multifamily listeners. You won't want to miss this!   Let's listen in now.

Welcome to Wednesday Q&A, where you ask questions and we answer them!In this Wednesday Q&A, we answer your questions about what exercises are appropriate for during and after recovery from both slipped and herniated discs and the impacts a large belly can have on our spine and overall movement patterns. Your questions:My husband recently tried to move a heavy chair and within less than a second he collapsed forward and couldn't move. After visiting the E.R. and having an MRI, we now know that he has three herniated discs, one lower thoracic and two lumbar, and spinal degeneration. He loves exercise and in the past was a runner and loved high-intensity plyometrics. He feels as though he will never be able to do these things again. Do you have any thoughts on appropriate exercise for recovery - he loves a good sweat and core work he can do without causing back pain - and whether or not he will ever get back to where he once was? I've slipped a disc, L5-S1. Have started physio now. What exercises would you recommend?I have observed many men that get large bellies appear to have a high lumbar hinge. Is this similar to pregnant women who, during pregnancy, develop a higher lumbar hinge between T12 and L1? Is the large belly that some men develop similar to pregnancy and does it have the same effects that a pregnant belly would have?To learn more, and for the complete show notes, visit: lytyoga.com/blog/category/podcasts/Do you have a question?DM Lara on Instagram: @lara.heimannDM Kristin on Instagram: @kbwilliams99Email us at support@lytyoga.comSponsor:Visit almondcow.co/shop and use code LARA for a discount off your purchase!

Related Report: Failure to Follow a Consult Process Resulting in Undocumented Patient Care at the Chillicothe VA Medical Center in OhioThe VA OIG conducted a healthcare inspection for 10 allegations related to the quality and management of patient care and the availability of resources within the Urgent Care Center at the Chillicothe VA Medical Center in Ohio.One allegation involved an urgent care provider sending a patient with a T12 vertebrae compression fracture to have chiropractic care at the Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) clinic. The patient returned a week later with a T12 burst fracture and rib fractures.The OIG found that an urgent care provider verbally referred a patient for pain management and not for chiropractic care. However, the OIG found that the urgent care provider did not enter a CAM consult until eight days after seeing the patient. Due to this delay, the chiropractor and clinical massage therapist failed to review the consult prior to seeing the patient. Additionally, the chiropractor and massage therapist could not link documentation to the consult and had no other process to complete the documentation resulting in the failure to document care provided within the medical record.The patient returned to the Urgent Care Center eight days later where a computerized tomography scan showed an acute burst fracture and acute rib fractures. Because of the lack of documentation and provider recall, the OIG could not conclusively determine the relationship between the actions taken by the chiropractor and clinical massage therapist and the patient's bone fractures.The OIG found the nine additional allegations to be unsupported and lacked merit.The OIG made two recommendations to the Facility Director related to education of providers, chiropractors, and clinical massage therapists on the use of consults and timely documentation, and conducting an internal review of the CAM program processes related to patient care, reviewing consults, scheduling appointments, checking-in patients, and documentation.
