Kim Lisa Taylor and Krisha Young of Syndication Attorneys PLLC welcome Homero Cabello Jr., the Deputy Executive Director at the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs. Homero shares insights from his decades of experience managing affordable housing programs and tax credit compliance that can be applied to projects nationwide. We'll discuss what it takes to qualify for Low-Income Housing Tax Credits (LIHTC), what entity structures their deals need to qualify, and how LIHTC programs benefit syndicators, investors and low income tenants. This knowledge is perfect for sponsors looking to enter or scale in affordable housing, or looking to maximize cash flow and tax benefits for their existing and future deals. ChaptersIntroduction to LIHTC Programs and Types (00:04:40)Omero Cabello Jr. explained the two types of LIHTC programs: 9% program funding 70% of development costs, and 4% program with tax-exempt bonds funding about 80% of total development costs. He emphasized that each state must follow a qualified allocation plan dictating requirements and rules.Property Qualification and Requirements (00:07:28)Omero detailed that properties must maintain affordability for a minimum 30-year period. The program funds new construction, acquisition rehab, senior housing, and supportive housing for special needs populations. He emphasized their preference for mixed-income developments.Application Process and Common Challenges (00:08:18)Omero outlined that applications can be denied due to failure to meet threshold requirements, incomplete financial projections, and lack of local support. He emphasized the importance of securing resolutions from local government entities and state representatives.Sponsor Requirements and Team Composition (00:11:07)Omero detailed that sponsors must demonstrate experience, financial stability, and knowledge of compliance requirements. He highlighted the value of partnering with nonprofits or historically underutilized businesses.Compliance and Property Management (00:16:19)Omero stressed the importance of partnering with experienced property management companies that understand LIHTC programs and tenant qualification requirements. He mentioned Texas's robust compliance monitoring team overseeing 350,000 doors across 3,000 properties.
Why do most recruitment companies stall at 10 to 20 people, while others scale to 100+ across continents? In this episode, you'll hear directly from someone who's done it. STR Group is a family of specialist recruitment brands focused on STEM sectors. As co-founder, Clive Hutchings has spent over two decades growing the business to more than 120 staff across the UK, Europe, and the US—all while staying profitable, adaptable, and values-driven. In this interview, Clive breaks down what it really takes to build a multi-brand, international recruitment group, the leadership philosophy behind STR's culture, and the gritty truths behind scaling a business beyond yourself. Episode Outline and Highlights [3:05] The early days: how Clive started in recruitment and his story of practicing his pitch in front of a mirror in the office. [11:37] The operational and leadership shifts needed to grow from 10 to 100+ employees [19:19] Why many recruitment founders plateau—and how to avoid it [21:09] Discussion on the best approach to train a new recruiter. [27:33] The value of having a support network around you. [32:50] What is the formula for knowing when to make your next hire? [40:00] Impact of AI: “Sales people being more sustainable, resourcing people less so.” [41:45] Clive reveals their tech stack and how AI impacts their current operations. [45:00] The relevance of cold calling in the age of AI. [52:00] Big differences between hiring in the US and the UK. [1:02:10] Learnings on expanding globally. [1:07:00] Culture and mantra that work. Leadership That Scales One of the biggest takeaways from this conversation is the importance of evolving your role as a founder. Clive credits much of STR's growth to the fact that he didn't try to do everything himself. Instead, he and his co-founder took on complementary leadership roles, allowing each to focus on their strengths while building out a business that could scale beyond them. If you're stuck juggling billing, management, and strategy, this is your sign to rethink your leadership structure. Building a scalable firm means building scalable leadership, and that starts with letting go of being the bottleneck. He also elaborated on the following: 1. Multifaceted Leadership Structure 2. Team Composition and Talent Strategy 3. High Energy and Personal Drive 4. Resilience Through Early-Stage Challenges 5. Realistic Growth Mindset Clive's success as a leader came from building a balanced team, maintaining high personal energy, fostering a resilient and realistic culture, and adapting roles and structures to match the stage of the business. Decision Factors When to Make Your Next Hire With Clive's success in scaling his team globally, I wanted to pick his brains on his thought process when deciding to make a new hire. As a recruitment business owner, this is a critical decision to make, as doing it too slowly can impede your business's growth, while doing it too rapidly can lead to longer-term problems that cost more to fix. Clive shared the following decision factors: Strategic Forecasting & Business Planning - Hiring plans are based on quarterly forecasts developed by each brand's leadership. Critical Mass & Team Size Considerations - A certain headcount is needed to reach operational momentum, but hiring must be sustainable. Smaller teams (e.g.,

Dan and Ian discuss the different phases of bootstrapping a business and the common challenges that arise at each stage. They walk through three phases: Zero to $250k “Mindset”; $250k to 1 million "We're seeking a reliable/repeatable source of new customers"; and $1 million + "We need to hire, fire, improve/change team members more effectively”. They explore everything from adjusting the offer to the marketplace and developing a strong customer base to making a rule that the founder should be responsible for growth up to $5M. They also explore the crucial role that team composition plays in the professionalization of the company. Finally, they discuss the decision between maximizing profitability and scaling the business.

Introduction: In this episode of the Alamo City Sportscast, host Mike Jimenez delves into the ongoing controversies surrounding Draymond Green, touching upon his recent on-court conduct, the comparisons with Spurs' player Jeremy Sochan, and concerns about the Spurs' performance. Despite the rainy day in San Antonio, Texas, Mike brings a fervor to dissecting the latest in sports news, inviting audience engagement and offering a candid perspective on various issues. Main Points: 1. Draymond Green's On-Court Conduct Mike begins by dissecting Draymond Green's recent actions on the court, specifically highlighting an incident involving a violent hit on Yousef Nurcic. He emphasizes Green's history of ejections, suspensions, and the lack of remorse for his actions, labeling him as potentially the NBA's dirtiest player since past figures like Ron Artest. 2. Spurs' Performance and Coach's Responsibility Transitioning to the Spurs' performance, Mike delves into their current struggles, attributing some blame to Coach Gregg Popovich and the team management. He questions the impact of coaching decisions on player development, mentioning the case of Jeremy Sochan and his inconsistent performances. 3. Reflections on Jeremy Sochan and Team Dynamics Expanding on the Jeremy Sochan comparison to Draymond Green, Mike explores the overestimation of Sochan's defensive abilities and raises concerns about how the Spurs utilize such players within their team dynamic. 4. Evaluating Draymond Green's Role and Future Mike offers a critical perspective on Green's status as a potential Hall of Famer, examining whether his contributions to the Golden State Warriors are indeed on par with his reputation. He discusses the possible influence of the team's acceptance or fostering of Green's behavior. 5. Player Comparisons and Spurs' Defensive Strategies Drawing parallels between past Spurs players known for their defensive prowess, Mike navigates through the distinction between rough play and a player with malicious intent. He examines the defensive abilities of notable Spurs figures like Bruce Bowen and Robert Horry. 6. Concerns about Team Composition and Player Traits Touching on the Spurs' current challenges, Mike expresses doubts about Draymond Green's fit within the team's ethos. He emphasizes the importance of player character and suitability within the Spurs' organizational culture. 7. Audience Engagement and Personal Health Journey The episode also involves interactions with the audience, encompassing discussions on personal health journeys, intermittent fasting, and fitness regimens, showcasing a more personal side to the podcast.

“If you are building a talent strategy that's based on a sample you saw online or a great book you read, you will not match what your business needs and so I think whenever I'm doing any kind of talent strategy or when I was consulting I was always asking people “what're your business goals” and it was shocking to me where I would look then at the talent strategy and I couldn't see the business connect. I couldn't see the EVP (the employee value proposition) connect. And I'm like that's why you're struggling, because your programs probably aren't resonating with people and you're spending money where you shouldn't be spending money.”Have you ever asked yourself “what would have to be true for my company to get to 10 million, 25 million, 50 million, or even 100 million”?The people on your team are a huge factor.Amanda Gordon is currently the Vice President People at Rewind, a company with a mission to help businesses protect their SaaS and cloud data.

Area Control/Soakers 2. Frontline Damage 3. Main Support 4. Long Range Cover 5. Flanker 6. Utility/Flex The 4 Steps of Attack: Recon, Prep, Execute, Recoop *Reconnaissance: Scout Enemy heroes and positions. Take out out of place heroes and clear starting area. Send out flanker to scout and dispose of appropriate threats. *Preparation: Build up ultimates. Define an attack route and position the team. Define key Target(s). Neutralize key defenses and look for an OPENING. *Execution: Once the call has been made move to be point as a team. Focus key targets quick. Commit! Move as a team, die as a team. Continuous pressure is key! *Recuperation: Regroup after wiping, resist the urge to go solo. Reassess: what caused the wipe? Team Composition. Team positioning. Sloppy execution. Poor teamwork. Simply Outplayed. Back to preparation!

Understanding how to balance the different team attributes of personnel from different cultural backgrounds can unlock a broad range of potential synergies in a virtual team. Team members from individualistic cultures, where often teams are made up of specialists, are best suited to some work while those from more collective cultures, where teams tend to be built to get the best overall outcome from the group are stronger in other areas. This article considers how to go about establishing the right balance and introduces some of the factors to consider. The post Team Composition Diversity Between Cultures appeared first on ULFIRE.
In this episode, Bob and Josh respond to a listener question around assembling an agile team. The primary question centers around inclusion of team members that prefer to be told what to do. We dig into wheather or not we believe this can/should be done. After hearing our views, please let us know what you think in the comments below. Support this podcast
