Sie war der anmutige Part eines königlichen Glamour-Paars. Dabei hatte Königin Sirikit von Thailand nach dem ersten Treffen mit ihrem späteren Mann Bhumibol gestanden: "Es war Hass auf den ersten Blick".

The singer and songwriter known as Sirintip lives here in New York, but like many musicians who are here in New York, she came from somewhere else. She was raised in Thailand, and spent her teenage years in her mother's homeland of Sweden, before making her way to the city. Her debut LP called Tribus (due out Feb. 9) also seems to come from several places at once. There are jazz harmonies, Thai drums, electronics and singable pop all mixed together to often startling effect. Sirintip and her band play some of these songs live.

A translator and spy turned international arms dealer, Viktor Bout is to be part of a proposed prisoner swap between the US and Russia for the return of Americans Brittney Griner and Paul Whelan.Griner was found guilty on drug smuggling charges by a Russian court, and convicted to 9 years in a penal colony after 1 milligram of cannabis oil, prescribed by her American doctor, was found in her vaping pen in her luggage in Moscow. The charges are obviously a political play by Putin in response to Ukraine sanctions. If you like our content, please become a patron to get our extra premium episodes every month, as well as our public episodes ad-free. 1 Trevor Reed, a former marine who was also imprisoned in Russia after allegedly attacking a policeman, another Kremlin fabricated story, was recently released in a successful prisoner swap and he said that Brittney Griner will experience "serious threats" to her health if she is sent to a labor camp. Moscow asked for a second Russian to be added to the mix for this proposed swap, an FSB agent, Vadim Krasikov, a Russian spy / murderer, who was convicted in Germany for carrying out a killing on behalf of Russia, an act the judges called “state terrorism.” It is hard to separate fact from fiction in Bout's resume. He's believed to have been born in 1967 in then-Soviet Tajikistan. He studied as a linguist at  Moscow-based Soviet Military Institute for Foreign Languages, a training school for officers, diplomats, and in many cases, spies. He learned Portuguese and he then started his career with the Red Army as a translator in Angola. 2 When the Soviet Union broke up, arms were scattered across the 15 new nations created by the dissolution, especially Bulgaria. These countries had neither the money to pay an army nor the infrastructure to keep the weapons they'd inherited. Viktor saw an opportunity. He assembled a fleet of ex-Soviet cargo planes, massive Antonov and Ilyushin aircraft, and began shipping arms and other goods all over the world. He set up a freight charter in Sharjah, United Arab Emirates and soon became the inspiration for Lord of War, an exceptional movie featuring Eamonn Walker, Nicholas Cage, Jared Leto and Ethan Hawke. Bout kept company with African warlords and dictators such as Jean-Pierre Bemba, Masavenya and Jonas Savimbi. After 9/11, the US needed scapegoats and Bout fit the bill. By entrapment, he was captured in Bangkok, Thailand and extradited to the US where he was convicted of aiding terrorists. The judge's opinion coincides with ours: “Until DEA went after Bout, he had not committed a crime chargeable in an American court in all his years as an arms dealer. And but for the DEA approach made through this determined sting operation, there is no reason to believe that Bout would have ever committed the charges brought against him.” 3, 4 Merchant of Death DubiMiter – 9.5 1.

Sie war der anmutige Part eines königlichen Glamour-Paars. Dabei hatte Königin Sirikit von Thailand nach dem ersten Treffen mit ihrem späteren Mann Bhumibol gestanden: "Es war Hass auf den ersten Blick".

Ihr Sohn, der neue König, ist wegen seines schrillen Lebenswandels deutlich weniger beliebt als seine Eltern. Autorin: Christiane Kopka Von Christiane Kopka.

To portray the hero of the Thai cave rescue in the new film Thirteen Lives, the Hollywood star had to go deep—literally. Mortensen plays the part of Rick Stanton, the legendary British cave diver who helped lead the rescue of 12 boys and their soccer coach from the far reaches of a flooded cavern in northern Thailand. The actor's preparation included months of conversations with Stanton and a harrowing cave-diving adventure of his own. In this episode, producer Paddy O'Connell talks with both men about what it takes to endure the mental and physical challenges of swimming through dark, tight spaces, where just one mistake can kill you. This episode was brought to you by Costa Sunglasses, designed to help you make the most of your time on the water. Find the frame for your pursuit at costasunglasses.com.

In 2016, social media users in Thailand called out the Paris-based luxury fashion house Balenciaga for copying the popular Thai “rainbow bag,” using Balenciaga's hashtags to circulate memes revealing the source of the bags' design.  In Why We Can't Have Nice Things: Social Media's Influence on Fashion, Ethics, and Property (Duke UP, 2022), Minh-Ha T. Pham examines the way social media users monitor the fashion market for the appearance of knockoff fashion, design theft, and plagiarism. Tracing the history of fashion antipiracy efforts back to the 1930s, she foregrounds the work of policing that has been tacitly outsourced to social media. Despite the social media concern for ethical fashion and consumption and the good intentions behind design policing, Pham shows that it has ironically deepened forms of social and market inequality, as it relies on and reinforces racist and colonial norms and ideas about what constitutes copying and what counts as creativity. These struggles over ethical fashion and intellectual property, Pham demonstrates, constitute deeper struggles over the colonial legacies of cultural property in digital and global economies. Lakshita Malik is a doctoral student in the department of Anthropology at the University of Illinois at Chicago. Her work focuses on questions of intimacies, class, gender, and beauty in South Asia.

We here try not to take the words of someone who is basically Australia's Donald Trump seriously.

Coconuts Bali Managing Editor Amahl Azwar came on this week's episode to debunk Hanson's claims, while telling us what the cattle poop situation really is like in Bali. Tune in!

DJ Ruby on the Virtual Sessions presented by The DJ Sessions 8/10/22 About DJ Ruby - DJ Ruby is the most prolific underground dance music artist that loomed from the party island of Malta, amassing a huge fan base that follows him unconditionally, as well as an established name throughout the global dance music industry, mainly in the progressive scene. Renowned for delivering flawless journey sets and a positive party vibe wherever he performs, DJ Ruby is considered a true pioneer of his caliber, a hard-working and modest person that has always matured with the scene. He now boasts nearly 30 years of experience, which has obtained him countless achievements and acclaim which are impossible to mention all in a few lines. DJ Ruby is responsible for being a major force in starting and shaping Malta's elite dance music scene into what it is today. For many years, he hosted countless events under the Pure Promotions imprint, setting trends for various clubbing concepts on the island, and introducing multiple generations to electronic dance music. An active career that started in the early 90's, and still going strong to date, saw DJ Ruby being featured at Malta's most notable dance events, opening for many of the world's legendary names such as Faithless, The Prodigy, Sasha, John Digweed, Carl Cox, Paul Oakenfold, Hernan Cattaneo, Sven Vath, Nick Warren, Steve Lawler, and Dave Seaman, as well as holding residencies at a vast array of influential institutions in the country, including a billing at all Renaissance parties in Malta throughout the 2000's decade. Over the years, DJ Ruby's diary has formed to be more like an atlas, performing regularly in venues all over the world; India, Ibiza, Mexico, Russia, Germany, Egypt, Jordan, Netherlands, Thailand, Australia, Italy, Dubai, USA, UK & Hong Kong, just to name a very few. He was also included in the line-ups of notorious festivals such as Timewarp, Ozora, Transmission, Berlin's Love Parade, Creamfields Malta, and Tomorrowland Unite. As a music producer, DJ Ruby holds a vast discography of his own productions, remixes and 3 albums. Many of his tracks were supported by the planet's leading DJs, and also made it into the charts of multiple digital outlets such as Beatport and Traxsource. After a very long and successful time working in the local scene, in 2018 DJ Ruby went through a complete rebranding and preparation to break into the international scene. In just a few months he managed to make a name for himself, founding a firm place in the global progressive house stage, gaining worldwide recognition. His regular live video sets, streams, guest mixes, Progcast and the Prog On mix series for Proton are hugely followed online. All his sets tend to go viral instantly, making him a very influential body in the scene, receiving constant good feedback from clubbers, blogs, and artists. As a promoter, in recent years he managed to make the progressive house scene bloom again in Malta. This is mostly thanks to his yearly warehouse event project partnership with Guy J, the Secret Series concept, Open to Close shows, and the regular Ruby & Friends parties which already featured respected players such as Cid Inc, Stereo Underground, Jeremy Olander, Miss Monique, Subandrio, Golan Zocher & Emi Galvan.   With a very busy schedule consisting of running events, producing mixes, video sets, touring, and performing non-stop, finding time to do his own music was always very difficult. This changed during Covid-19 days. With no events happening, DJ Ruby spent these months on the studio's hot seat, producing his own tracks, doing collaborations, and taking on remix work. All the tracks produced during the pandemic are now currently being released back to back on various labels. A great milestone in 2021, was topping multiple Beatport charts with the album compilation ‘Constellations: Orion' for SLC-6 music.

As is tradition, Greg and Ed spend the first episode of the brand new season 6 (!) looking back, looking forward, and discussing podcasting as a whole.  When Greg and Tony first started speaking into their panty hose-covered mics (seriously) in 2010 they had no idea they'd be laying the groundwork for such a long-running show. From the days of hauling gear to a rented room to record face to face, to taking advantage of online recording and discovering new ways to streamline the workflow and work with new digital tools, it's been one big learning experience. The boys also discuss why they think season 6 will be a particularly interesting one, as Thailand comes face-to-face with some pretty big issues that can't be ignored, and the world (hopefully) starts to come back to spend money at bars, hotels, beaches and malls and help Thailand get back on its feet.  They also manage to complain about their lack of coverage by the New York Times and premier a new segment called Would You Rather. Here's to a brand new season! Don't forget that Patrons get the ad-free version of the show as well as swag and other perks. And we'll keep our Facebook, Twitter, and LINE accounts active so you can send us comments, questions, or whatever you want to share.

A few years ago, my wife and I visited Thailand. We spent a morning touring part of Bangkok, including a Buddhist temple. We were gawking tourists. We snuck into the back of one shrine crammed with people, some admiring the statue of Buddha, others worshipping it. The experience called to mind the second commandment. Exodus 20:4-6 says, “You shall not make for yourself an idol in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the fathers to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me, but showing love to a thousand[ generations] of those who love me and keep my commandments.” (NIV) Obviously, Buddha is not the god of the bible. God doesn't want his people worshipping images from other religions. But this command also forbids making an image of him. So, why is God so upset when people make an idol?  The answer is in Acts 17:29, “Therefore since we are God's offspring, we should not think that the divine being is like gold or silver or stone–an image made by man's design and skill.” God the creator is unlike anything in his creation. Be devoted to him, not to anything created.

This past summer was not the experience I was hoping for. What was to be outings and short visits around the country has turned into weeks of nursing colds, sinus infections, and now Covid. Fortunately I've been lucky to have only experienced cold symptoms with C19. But my isolation has taken me back to the feelings experienced a year ago when we were all under some form of lockdown here in Vietnam. My apologies for the lack of output of new content and episodes but I am hopeful going forward I will have many more stories to tell whether here or on my YouTube Channel but I do appreciate your patience. Good news this past month for Da Nang making in on Travel + Leisure's top 10 cities to visit in Southeast Asia. Vietnam's two biggest cities, Ho Chi Minh and Ha Noi both made it on the list as well. In this episode I'll also go back to the Batu Caves in Selangor, Malaysia from a 2019 visit.

Check it out below: [00:00:40] Sam Wilson:Matthew bald sell is the CEO and founder of elite podcast bookings, which helps real estate investors attract more capital and deal flow through podcasting. Matthew, welcome to the show, Sam. Pleasure to be here, man. The pleasure's mine, there are three questions. [00:00:53] Sam Wilson: I ask every guest who comes in the show in 90 seconds or less. You tell me, where did you start? Where are you now? And how did you get there?  [00:00:58] Matthew Baltzell: Yeah. So where did I start? I originally started in single family homes fast forward, about 10 years after that 2000 or eight years after that 2016, I left the United States failed, attempt to move to Germany. [00:01:10] Matthew Baltzell: Wound up in Thailand, got married, fell in love, had a kid got involved in commercial real estate. And now I'm currently here. What was the other part of the question? Start? How did I get there? Yeah, so I I started investing. All right. Basically I started a bigger pockets meetup group. And from there I was able to connect, getting involved in a private equity firm. [00:01:32] Matthew Baltzell: Asset management started a podcast. One thing led to another, and now I created a elite podcast booking to help real estate investors attract more capital deal flow, et cetera.  [00:01:41] Sam Wilson: That is, I love the journey. Like there's a lot of moving pieces there. And I like the fact that you said, Hey, there was a failed attempt at what was it failed attempt at moving to Germany. [00:01:50] Matthew Baltzell: Yeah. Failed attempt for sure.  [00:01:52] Sam Wilson: What do you think your secret is? I mean, that's a lot of like, go left turn, right? Uhoh this didn't work, but that did, but how did you keep on, like what was it that kept you moving forward?  [00:02:01] Matthew Baltzell: You hear people talk about like, I don't know, they're north star, you're basically your gut. [00:02:05] Matthew Baltzell: Right? Right. So if your gut says, like, you know something about this property, I really like, right. You can't put your finger on it, but you know, like you can make this work, right. You can always make something work. And for me, like, I kind of just let my gut dictate. Right. So I knew that I wanted to live in abroad and I wanted to go, I thought I wanted to live in Germany. [00:02:26] Matthew Baltzell: And then, just scratching that itch is like, if I'm not, if I don't scratch that itch, I don't know what's gonna become of it. Right. And like I said earlier, I got involved in private equity while I'm abroad. So, you would think if you live in Denver, Colorado, and you wanted to get a job in private equity, maybe you would go to like a bigger pockets meetup, or you'd go to your local meetup, et cetera. [00:02:46] Matthew Baltzell: And you'd kind of get your foot in that way. It doesn't necessarily make sense to move halfway around the world to Thailand, to back channel your way into commercial real estate. And so, doing that, pushing myself. Kind of leading myself to, always doing what I kind of wanted to do if I'm interested in something that I go after it, and I don't necessarily know what stems from it. [00:03:04] Matthew Baltzell: And I think a lot of people fear that of the unknown. Right. So when you fear something of the unknown, you just could become reserved. It's like, Hey, Sam, I wanna buy you a cup of coffee and I want you to walk me through this deal the whole time. So I feel safe and maybe we can make a little bit money, but I'm kind of too scared to do it on my own. [00:03:22] Matthew Baltzell: Right? Right. People are afraid to venture out from their comfort zone, but when you step farther out on the curve, that's where you make the biggest leaps and find the most success within, your personal self your finances, relationships, et C.  [00:03:35] Sam Wilson: Talk to me about the jump from commercial real estate. [00:03:37] Sam Wilson: So you're involved in a PE firm, which I think is hysterical. Like you said, who moves halfway around the world to go get into a PE firm. That's probably buying real estate here in the United States. I'm guessing. Yes.  [00:03:47] Matthew Baltzell: Yeah. So I. I created. So I was trying to reverse engineering. This was back in 2000 in 18 ish, like the beginning of 2018, everybody was talking about multi-family. [00:03:56] Matthew Baltzell: I was thinking of my next move. And I was like, okay, I wanna get involved in multi-family. How do I start? So I was trying to think outside the box and I started a meetup, through bigger pockets, right? So it was like six to eight members. And one of the pers one person that. Everybody else was back in the United States, by the way. [00:04:12] Matthew Baltzell: And one person that didn't join was like, Hey, I want to I'm following your progress. I wanna introduce you to somebody, which was the main principle of the private equity firm. That was just starting off. I started doing some underwriting. I started doing basically some advertisements, et cetera, basically leading with value. [00:04:29] Matthew Baltzell: Wasn't asking for anything in return. One thing LEDs to another, it was like, Hey, why don't we put you on the website? Hey da, da, da. And I'm like, so I'm working here. Okay. Like, alright. And so I got my foot in that way, started helping out with asset management and, it's just like, there's no difference if you're in Denver, Colorado, or Texas. [00:04:46] Matthew Baltzell: If you can show up to the meetings on time, look at the, financials, show up to the meetings, make sure projects are on time. I mean, that's all really, it is. So there's really no difference. So you're living in California. Investing in New York or you're living in Thailand and you're still acquiring properties in Atlanta, Georgia, and Florida, et cetera. [00:05:03] Sam Wilson: Right, right. That's cool. I love that. When did you figure out that you were onto something with podcasting?  [00:05:08] Matthew Baltzell: Yeah. So my original podcast that I had was it's called real estate journeys. It had about 114 episodes. And what I saw from podcasting then is one, it was a great networking tool. From my, just from my own show, I met some really cool people within the real estate industry that I still talk to this day over social media. [00:05:29] Matthew Baltzell: and it was just a great way to network. And then I saw people trying to pitch to get on my show, trying to get people onto other, or myself going onto other shows. And I kind of just saw this like, process of basically being kind of fragmented, right. People are trying to attract more deals or trying to do more podcasting, et cetera. [00:05:46] Matthew Baltzell: I mean, you look, or you look at Joe FRAs, right. He had the longest running single day podcast and then Whitney, so is like, okay, like I'm gonna do the exact same thing and now he's blowing up. And then everybody starts trying to. duplicate that process. But what you see is, yeah, there you go. You're point to yourself. [00:06:02] Matthew Baltzell: People can't see that, but what you see is the people that have the most consistency over time they have the most success right. And then you always have muddied waters in the beginning, whether it's the first couple episodes, the average podcast, doesn't make it past 13 episodes. [00:06:15] Matthew Baltzell: Wow. So if you continue to basically network like you're doing right now, you have a platform and over time, when you go to put out a deal, You've already developed your network and you can raise 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 million now for a deal, as opposed to like, oh, now I have a deal. Now I'm gonna go on podcast. Now I'm gonna post on link, LinkedIn, you should be doing all these things before they even start. [00:06:40] Matthew Baltzell: The time to start working out is two years before you have a heart attack. Not when you have a heart attack, the time to tell somebody you loved them is today, not when they're dead. You know what I'm saying? Right.  [00:06:50] Sam Wilson: Absolutely. Absolutely. No, I love that. And I think that's one of the things that people who don't podcast, probably don't see as a benefit is just the networking side of it. [00:06:58] Sam Wilson: I mean, it's been for me the single fastest way I've grown, my network is by podcasting. This is, again I'm copy and paste. There's no or, success leaves clues. So. I'm following Whitney, I'm following Joe and running a daily show. And it's like, okay, that's 365 new guests a year. [00:07:14] Sam Wilson: It's like, okay, this is really cool. Like I am learning and building. And again, like you said, I think that's something that people overlook. When, if they're if they're looking to start a podcast or looking to get into it, That's gonna be your primary benefit outta the gate is building your network and not necessarily, going out and while you do raise more money, I think that's the primary benefit you get is just building your network. [00:07:32] Sam Wilson: And that should be it.  [00:07:33] Matthew Baltzell: Yeah, for sure. And I think people make the mistake of like, Let's say you have a daily podcast or you do have a daily podcast or I, Joe fearless has a daily podcast and people think like, oh, who am I? Who am I to raise capital? Or who am I to have a podcast? Nobody's gonna wanna listen to me. [00:07:48] Matthew Baltzell: Right. Right. But you are an individual, right? Yes. It might be a copycat. A copy and paste method. Like everybody's having a podcast, but I wanna hear what you have to say about the market. I want to hear what you have to say about networking. I wanna hear what you have to say. So there's thousands of capital razors. [00:08:05] Matthew Baltzell: You can go with whoever you want. Right? Who do you like know and trust and people that have consistency, especially with the digital footprint. You're more likely to like no one trust them as opposed to somebody that's just starting their podcasts, something that's just starting to blog someone. That's just starting the newsletter, et cetera, et C. [00:08:20] Sam Wilson: Absolutely. Absolutely. So you launched a podcast company, you saw holes in the industry, you saw it was fragmented and you said, you know what? I think I can help real estate investors solve problem X, what is the problem you are solving?  [00:08:33] Matthew Baltzell: Yeah, so like I was, we're touching on briefly, right? So there's analog and then there's digital. [00:08:38] Matthew Baltzell: So the analog is basically the old school way. Right? Real estate is like traditionally like a good old boys club is the slow moving part, shake cans, kiss babies, go to conferences. How can you do that? Right. You can maybe go to Dallas. You could go to so many, there was C, right. But now as everything was digital, You go on one podcast, you have 365. [00:08:59] Matthew Baltzell: What? 365 episodes. Maybe you don't have 'em on the weekends. Let's say you have 300 episodes per year. Right? Right. And let's say your average downloads is a thousand. We'll just make that up. You have 300,000 listens downloads of people listening to you, right. That's astronomical. Right? So if somebody is going on two podcast, episodes of wi a. [00:09:21] Matthew Baltzell: Right. And we'll just say that the average podcast has a thousand downloads are going on two podcasts, 2000 downloads a month, 24,000 downloads a year you've already got your message across the 24,000 people. And American express says it takes seven different touchpoints for people to take action. [00:09:39] Matthew Baltzell: So as much as I like you, this is the first time you and I are talking, right. You can present me with a deal with a two X equity, multiple under red it within five years. Six to eight per et cetera, et cetera. And I can be like, like that seems pretty reasonable for the market, but why am I gonna invest with you as opposed to Joe FARs? [00:09:56] Matthew Baltzell: Right. I've never spoken with Joe far, but I've spoken to you. Maybe. I like you, maybe I don't, but maybe after I hear you, the third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh time. That's when you see results, that's when the lagging indicator comes. That's when you go to the gym, that's when you don't have the heart attack. [00:10:10] Matthew Baltzell: Right. But the people that just come in, right. And they try and do one rep and they tear their muscles and it's like, okay this podcasted thing. It wasn't for me. But the people that state, but the people that consistently are out there podcasting. They know, and they realize the value of being on podcasts. [00:10:27] Matthew Baltzell: And that's where we come in. One I've been on, I've been on a bunch of podcasts. I've leveraged my network. I had 114 podcast episodes. And so we helped real estate investors leverage our, my, our platform to help get on other industry, leading platforms, such as your podcast. And then it is just very synergistic. [00:10:45] Matthew Baltzell: Hopefully they raise more money, raise more capital, attract, more deal flow, et cetera. and That's where we come in  [00:10:51] Sam Wilson: that, yeah, that's really cool. I like that. And I think certainly I don't, at this point, don't handle my own bookings anymore. It's something where I've got a team member that takes care of getting everybody lined up and booked. [00:11:01] Sam Wilson: So, but I'm pretty sure you guys have sent some people our way, which I've certainly. Yeah, for sure. Always. Absolutely. Thank you again for that. absolutely, man. I know it's a great, it's a win-win and people. I think people overlook that. Like I know when the first podcast I went on two or three years ago as a guest. [00:11:16] Sam Wilson: It went back to that, probably the self doubt questions. Like why do I, why does anybody wanna have me on a podcast? Like, I'm just a guy doing deals. So is everybody else like, there's a lot of those things that, that I think people don't expect that they would make a great guest and, or yeah, for sure. [00:11:29] Sam Wilson: And, or they're so busy that they would make a phenomenal guest, but don't have time to go out and actually figure out how to go get on the shows cuz it's just like I got other things going on and figuring out which shows to get on is a a piece of work. Tell me about this. What do you say makes a great guest when someone comes on a podcast, do you guys do any sort of coaching or any sort of like, Hey, when you get on here's some things that be, preparing here's how to Accu adequately prepare for a show. [00:11:51] Matthew Baltzell: Yeah. So one of the, one of the biggest mistakes, I'll just start off with one of the biggest mistakes is when people go on a show, right. And they get to the end of the show and they say, Sam might say, Hey, Matthew, thanks dragon on what's the best place to find best place to find you, et cetera, et cetera. [00:12:06] Matthew Baltzell: Right? Most people say, oh, Sam, thanks for having me. I'm available on LinkedIn. I'm also available at Matthew xyz.com and I also have a free ebook. And here's my phone number and reach out to me and I love to talk real estate. It's like, okay, the person that listens to a podcast, it's a very intimate experience. [00:12:25] Matthew Baltzell: They listen to the whole thing all the way you typically through. It's not like a song, you just jump in the middle. Right, right. And so it's like, you got to the end, you almost want the reward. And it's like, okay, what's going to incentivize me to stop listening to this podcast. And what'd he say, he used to go to Instagram, LinkedIn. [00:12:42] Matthew Baltzell: Here's his email and he likes to talk real estate. Okay. So we encourage people to practice a clear and concise call to action, right. Something that has some scarcity. So you could say, Hey, for the first two people to go to my website or first two first two real estate investors to go to my website and click on the pro click. [00:12:59] Matthew Baltzell: And we're register a call with me and into the promo code. Sam will receive. 25% off my coaching program or something like that. Right. Right now, when they enter the promo code, Sam, where they came from. So if you 1500 people, et cetera, et cetera, entered it, then all of a sudden you're like, wow, I was on Sam's podcast. [00:13:17] Matthew Baltzell: And now we got a hundred leads from Sam's podcast. Now, you know where they're coming from. And the people that are listening to that are like, oh, there's only. They're only giving away this promotion to two people. I better get home as fast as possible because this episode just released at five o'clock from work and I'm driving home and I'm gonna go over this website and I'm gonna enter my information. [00:13:36] Matthew Baltzell: But if you just say, Hey, I'll talk to you when I talk to you, maybe I'll see you next year at the bigger pockets. A conference it's like, right. Okay. Whatever. So yeah, I would say that's one of the biggest mistakes that typically not only real estate investors make going on podcasts, but a lot of people that make going on podcasts. [00:13:53] Matthew Baltzell: And then the second thing I would say is like, know what you want to talk about. Right. And so whether whatever that topic is, feel somewhat comfortable with it and practice it over. Right. And when you are going on your first couple podcasts, you, no, you're not gonna be great. You're gonna muddle through it. [00:14:10] Matthew Baltzell: You hosted your podcast, you have a bunch of episodes. I'm sure it's painful to listen to the first 20 podcast episodes, as opposed to where you are now. Right? You're more, you're better at conversation. You were talking, we were talking earlier, like I was talking to an investor, BA Bing, BA boom. [00:14:24] Matthew Baltzell: You picked up the mic and here we are talking right. A year ago. You probably would've prepped like an hour for an interview. Like, oh my God, like, what is this person? It's insane. Right. Right. So. I mean, people should practice. Right. And realize that it's not gonna come necessarily, oh, some people are better at it than others, but you know, with more practice you become a better podcast guest and myself included. [00:14:45] Matthew Baltzell: Right. I just started recently going on the podcast in circuit talking about this business, I've been on other podcasts talking about, earlier, like. A year and a half ago talking about, real estate investment side, but it just takes time. And, people shouldn't beat themselves up, cuz everybody has an interesting story and people want to hear about your story, not just regurgitated information about. [00:15:05] Matthew Baltzell: Blah, blah, blah, blah,  [00:15:05] Sam Wilson: blah. right. I love that. Yeah. The idea of getting your reps in is you just have to do it, get your reps in, make your mistakes. If you're listening to this and go, gosh, we've never been on a show. Come on this one, if you're an experienced and, or on your way to an experienced commercial real estate investor, come on this show. [00:15:20] Sam Wilson: It's one of those things where it's less intimidating probably than what people think. But yeah, you're absolutely right. I look back on my first 20, 30, 50 episodes and I'm like Oh, like, are those still out there on the internet? They are CRI, but it's the way it is, man. It's just the way.  [00:15:33] Matthew Baltzell: Yeah. [00:15:34] Matthew Baltzell: But it, but that's the beauty of it, too. Cuz if you think about it, right, I mean, How easy is it to look at anything online, kind of, and semi duplicate it, right? You can you can Photoshop a photo. You can copy and paste a resume. But to say that you have, let's say 200 podcast episodes. [00:15:52] Matthew Baltzell: Like people concede the progression, they look, they can just jump to of 50, hear your intro and was like, ding, ding, ding, ding. And you're like, oh, Church bells, like what's going on. and then now you have a clear, concise mic. You have better audio, you have better visual. You're more natural. You're a better speaker. [00:16:10] Matthew Baltzell: And these things people wanna see progression, right? People wanna be on the upward spiral of the tornado. They don't wanna be on a plane that's going crashing and burning. Right? Like how often do you see in the headlines when something bad happens? Everybody just piles on, but when somebody's going up and up, they're like, oh yeah, like I was on Sam's podcast, like episode 55, like now there's 300. [00:16:29] Matthew Baltzell: Yeah. He's doing great. Oh man. They wanna be a part of greatness,  [00:16:32] Sam Wilson: Absolutely. Absolutely. No, man, I think that's absolutely great. Tell me what else. So you guys help people kind of, figure out how they wanna present themselves via podcast. You guys help people get book. [00:16:42] Sam Wilson: On other shows, what are some other things that you see people doing, maybe that they're doing the right doing correctly, you say, Hey man here's some things I see some of the best podcast guests doing, what are those  [00:16:52] Matthew Baltzell: things? Yeah. So I would say the people that are do that are the best podcast, guests are like modern day that have good audio and have good visuals. [00:17:03] Matthew Baltzell: And you'd be surprised like. Like you have a good microphone. I can see that I have a quality microphone. It definitely helps. Right, right. You don't want to hear like the echo chamber of like, somebody's down the hall in the closet. You sound very like, oh, this man's very soothing. He's in my ear. Then you ask me a course, like, oh, how are you doing? [00:17:20] Matthew Baltzell: Oh, good. Right. And so people that are. Having good audio, having good video audio. Yeah. Good audio and good video. Like that's something that's very very good to have. Especially now, like in today's modern world, your first representation of possibly seeing me or possibly seeing you is gonna be like, oh cool. [00:17:39] Matthew Baltzell: He has some books over there in the corner. Like maybe I, maybe we were late. I can't necessarily see those, but he has about 10 in the left hand corner. You have your logo in the upper left hand corner. You have. Your brand on your shirt, like, okay, this guy looks serious, but if you had a greeny camera and bad audio, it's like, I'm out. [00:17:58] Matthew Baltzell: I don't necessarily, he could be a good guy. I don't know. Maybe do I wanna invest? I don't know. He can't even buy a good microphone. We'll make some things. He can handle a hundred thousand dollars of my money.  [00:18:06] Sam Wilson: Ouch. There it is. There it is. I like that. I like the directness here. You're absolutely correct. [00:18:11] Sam Wilson: You're absolutely correct. And that's something that, that I've had to and again, we're just talking here, but I've had to ask a couple of guests. Hey, let's reschedule. Let's reschedule when you can get your camera or your mic or something, set up correctly because I've recorded episodes before in the past where I've allowed people to use sub quality or mics or cameras and things like that. [00:18:30] Sam Wilson: And then I get done with it. I'm like, gosh, that was a 30 minute waste of my time. Cuz. it just wasn't as good as it could be. And it's not even, I mean, gosh, you can get a decent setup for under a few hundred bucks, if you're yeah, just a, an amateur podcast guest, I mean a decent setup, a few hundred dollars. [00:18:45] Sam Wilson: I mean, mine, of course, I've got a lot more money than maybe but I do this daily, so that's a different. But it's your business  [00:18:51] Matthew Baltzell: for sure. Yeah, absolutely. Absolutely. That's the thing you should, you, you should be, didn't like your business, right? Right. I mean, think about it. If you were in the conference and you went up to somebody and they shook your hand and they had like, not a firm handshake and it was kind of limp and they. [00:19:01] Matthew Baltzell: Shook your watch and you're initially you're automatically thinking like, well, that was kinda weird. Does it mean you're not gonna like that person? Does it mean you're not gonna have a good relationship? No, but you're already starting off on the back foot. Right. And if somebody's coming to you and you're having a thousand downloads per episode, and you're having 300 episodes a year, you. [00:19:16] Matthew Baltzell: You wanna put the best foot forward and have a good representation or you're trying to raise capital, et cetera. Do you want have a grainy website? Do you want to have a broken down non-professional copy written newsletter? No. These are things that you don't want to have. You wanna have these buttoned up be this guy's a, an experienced sponsor who can handle capital and he can raise the deals and track deal flow, et cetera. [00:19:36] Sam Wilson: Right man. That's cool. That's absolutely cool. What do you like, like talk, talk me through the process when somebody comes on board with you, can you kind of break that down? Just so our guess that idea of what it is exactly that you guys do and how the process works. Yeah.  [00:19:49] Matthew Baltzell: So somebody would typically we'd schedule a sales call and, or not sales call, but we just basically have a conversation, right. [00:19:54] Matthew Baltzell: To see where you're at within your real estate investing. Journey. Right. And so typically, we work with capital razor sponsors. And then we see, where you're trying to go from there. What is your goal necessarily? Are you trying to raise $1 million? Are you trying to raise $500,000? [00:20:10] Matthew Baltzell: Are you trying to track more deals? And so we kind of figure it out from there. And then we construct a plan to determine if podcasting is going to be a good avenue for you to help promote your message. So if you're like, Hey, I want to do 15 deals or two deals next year. It's like, okay, like maybe that's possible. [00:20:29] Matthew Baltzell: How many deals have you done so far? And then if it's from there, it's like, okay, these are the podcasts we typically work with. I think we can get you this many impressions across the board over. X Y Z amount of time, if you're trying to go, if you think it's this episode, we're recording in July 5th. [00:20:48] Matthew Baltzell: Right? So if you're listening to this episode and you think you're gonna have a deal under contract end of October, early November, now's a good time to start promoting that message or, Hey, I'm traveling all summer. I'm not gonna be able to do this. Okay. Like maybe that's not gonna work out. [00:21:04] Matthew Baltzell: So then once you decide to come on board, from there, we basically looked at your marketing material. How experienced are you as a marketer? What are you using as a lead capture page help? You can construct your funnel. And then from there, we do a little bit of coaching as well to basically help you develop that and then link you up with the proper podcast that we see fit and then help you push out your material. [00:21:26] Matthew Baltzell: And then another thing we're working on, but we haven't released it is as far as the. Basically segmenting up your video and everything that you are when you go on a podcast and having that be micro content. So you can continuously, if let's say you were doing two podcast episodes a month and you have one, one hour long video, or one 30 minute video, you could break that up into three or four pieces plus the full 30 minute piece. [00:21:49] Matthew Baltzell: And now you have your newsletter. Now you post one piece of content on LinkedIn, and then now you're able to. Post three or four times weekly with your podcast, with your newsletter, with one pod or with one promotion or something on separately on, on LinkedIn. Now, all of a sudden, you're starting to say people's top of mind. [00:22:07] Matthew Baltzell: Now you have more content and it's especially, you don't have to generate the content. Right? People think like I gotta make content today. Like, oh my God, what do I do? It's like, go on a podcast, have somebody break it up for you. It's.  [00:22:18] Sam Wilson: Right. And that's and that's all from one episode. I think that's the cool part is that you've taken one episode, you've pulled out, 20, again, pieces of micro content and said, okay. [00:22:26] Sam Wilson: And again, for the busy professional, you having somebody like you come in and kind of handle that suite of services a to Z, cuz there's a lot to think about that you just mentioned in there. Yeah. Everything from what shows should you be on how to prepare for and building, building your funnels building, okay. So what's the call to actions? How are we gonna republish this content? There's a lot of moving pieces involved with podcasting and with being a good podcast guest and also even, from the host side is getting getting our guests to res. So even from, it's really great having guests come on the show, but if our guests aren't taking the stuff that we're giving them and then marketing it to their audience, it's kind of not completely wasted cuz obviously we pump it out on our end, but man, you won't get nearly the traction out of it. [00:23:07] Sam Wilson: So we even on this side are working really hard to get our guests, to use the content that we're providing. So that's really cool. What you guys  [00:23:13] Matthew Baltzell: do understandable. Yeah,  [00:23:14] Sam Wilson: for sure. Matthew I've really enjoyed having you come on the show today. Talk about podcasting. What's that? I was  [00:23:21] Matthew Baltzell: just gonna say, I enjoyed your style. [00:23:23] Matthew Baltzell: I liked it a lot. And it was a pleasure being here. Thank you for  [00:23:25] Sam Wilson: having me. Absolutely, man. I mean, and you gave some great, we haven't really done an episode like this that just talks about what it means to be a good podcast guest. What does it mean to come on a show and be absolutely prepared to to knock it outta the park? [00:23:37] Sam Wilson: And so you've given our listeners, I think some really cool things to think about. As it pertains to, one, one ha being good podcast guest, and also what it takes, to actually use the stuff that we create and get the most mileage out of it. So, thanks for doing that. [00:23:48] Sam Wilson: Certainly appreciate it. If our listeners wanna get in touch with you and learn more about you, what is the best way to do that?  [00:23:53] Matthew Baltzell: Yeah, so you can go to elite podcast, bookings.com and you can click on the homepage in the upper right hand corner.

Right? I'm just kidding you, man. Yeah, there we go there.  [00:24:16] Matthew Baltzell: Yeah, no, there we go. See it's. I gotta practice,  [00:24:19] Matthew Baltzell: gotta practice it every single time. [00:24:21] Sam Wilson: Absolutely. Matthew, thanks for coming on the show. Certainly appreciate it.  [00:24:25] Matthew Baltzell: Cheers. Thank you. [00:00:40] Sam Wilson:Matthew bald sell is the CEO and founder of elite podcast bookings, which helps real estate investors attract more capital and deal flow through podcasting. Matthew, welcome to the show, Sam. Pleasure to be here, man. The pleasure's mine, there are three questions. [00:00:53] Sam Wilson: I ask every guest who comes in the show in 90 seconds or less. You tell me, where did you start? Where are you now? And how did you get there?  [00:00:58] Matthew Baltzell: Yeah. So where did I start? I originally started in single family homes fast forward, about 10 years after that 2000 or eight years after that 2016, I left the United States failed, attempt to move to Germany. [00:01:10] Matthew Baltzell: Wound up in Thailand, got married, fell in love, had a kid got involved in commercial real estate. And now I'm currently here. What was the other part of the question? Start? How did I get there? Yeah, so I I started investing. All right. Basically I started a bigger pockets meetup group. And from there I was able to connect, getting involved in a private equity firm. [00:01:32] Matthew Baltzell: Asset management started a podcast. One thing led to another, and now I created a elite podcast booking to help real estate investors attract more capital deal flow, et cetera.  [00:01:41] Sam Wilson: That is, I love the journey. Like there's a lot of moving pieces there. And I like the fact that you said, Hey, there was a failed attempt at what was it failed attempt at moving to Germany. [00:01:50] Matthew Baltzell: Yeah. Failed attempt for sure.  [00:01:52] Sam Wilson: What do you think your secret is? I mean, that's a lot of like, go left turn, right? Uhoh this didn't work, but that did, but how did you keep on, like what was it that kept you moving forward?  [00:02:01] Matthew Baltzell: You hear people talk about like, I don't know, they're north star, you're basically your gut. [00:02:05] Matthew Baltzell: Right? Right. So if your gut says, like, you know something about this property, I really like, right. You can't put your finger on it, but you know, like you can make this work, right. You can always make something work. And for me, like, I kind of just let my gut dictate. Right. So I knew that I wanted to live in abroad and I wanted to go, I thought I wanted to live in Germany. [00:02:26] Matthew Baltzell: And then, just scratching that itch is like, if I'm not, if I don't scratch that itch, I don't know what's gonna become of it. Right. And like I said earlier, I got involved in private equity while I'm abroad. So, you would think if you live in Denver, Colorado, and you wanted to get a job in private equity, maybe you would go to like a bigger pockets meetup, or you'd go to your local meetup, et cetera. [00:02:46] Matthew Baltzell: And you'd kind of get your foot in that way. It doesn't necessarily make sense to move halfway around the world to Thailand, to back channel your way into commercial real estate. And so, doing that, pushing myself. Kind of leading myself to, always doing what I kind of wanted to do if I'm interested in something that I go after it, and I don't necessarily know what stems from it. [00:03:04] Matthew Baltzell: And I think a lot of people fear that of the unknown. Right. So when you fear something of the unknown, you just could become reserved. It's like, Hey, Sam, I wanna buy you a cup of coffee and I want you to walk me through this deal the whole time. So I feel safe and maybe we can make a little bit money, but I'm kind of too scared to do it on my own. [00:03:22] Matthew Baltzell: Right? Right. People are afraid to venture out from their comfort zone, but when you step farther out on the curve, that's where you make the biggest leaps and find the most success within, your personal self your finances, relationships, et C.  [00:03:35] Sam Wilson: Talk to me about the jump from commercial real estate. [00:03:37] Sam Wilson: So you're involved in a PE firm, which I think is hysterical. Like you said, who moves halfway around the world to go get into a PE firm. That's probably buying real estate here in the United States. I'm guessing. Yes.  [00:03:47] Matthew Baltzell: Yeah. So I. I created. So I was trying to reverse engineering. This was back in 2000 in 18 ish, like the beginning of 2018, everybody was talking about multi-family. [00:03:56] Matthew Baltzell: I was thinking of my next move. And I was like, okay, I wanna get involved in multi-family. How do I start? So I was trying to think outside the box and I started a meetup, through bigger pockets, right? So it was like six to eight members. And one of the pers one person that. Everybody else was back in the United States, by the way. [00:04:12] Matthew Baltzell: And one person that didn't join was like, Hey, I want to I'm following your progress. I wanna introduce you to somebody, which was the main principle of the private equity firm. That was just starting off. I started doing some underwriting. I started doing basically some advertisements, et cetera, basically leading with value. [00:04:29] Matthew Baltzell: Wasn't asking for anything in return. One thing LEDs to another, it was like, Hey, why don't we put you on the website? Hey da, da, da. And I'm like, so I'm working here. Okay. Like, alright. And so I got my foot in that way, started helping out with asset management and, it's just like, there's no difference if you're in Denver, Colorado, or Texas. [00:04:46] Matthew Baltzell: If you can show up to the meetings on time, look at the, financials, show up to the meetings, make sure projects are on time. I mean, that's all really, it is. So there's really no difference. So you're living in California. Investing in New York or you're living in Thailand and you're still acquiring properties in Atlanta, Georgia, and Florida, et cetera. [00:05:03] Sam Wilson: Right, right. That's cool. I love that. When did you figure out that you were onto something with podcasting?  [00:05:08] Matthew Baltzell: Yeah. So my original podcast that I had was it's called real estate journeys. It had about 114 episodes. And what I saw from podcasting then is one, it was a great networking tool. From my, just from my own show, I met some really cool people within the real estate industry that I still talk to this day over social media. [00:05:29] Matthew Baltzell: and it was just a great way to network. And then I saw people trying to pitch to get on my show, trying to get people onto other, or myself going onto other shows. And I kind of just saw this like, process of basically being kind of fragmented, right. People are trying to attract more deals or trying to do more podcasting, et cetera. [00:05:46] Matthew Baltzell: I mean, you look, or you look at Joe FRAs, right. He had the longest running single day podcast and then Whitney, so is like, okay, like I'm gonna do the exact same thing and now he's blowing up. And then everybody starts trying to. duplicate that process. But what you see is, yeah, there you go. You're point to yourself. [00:06:02] Matthew Baltzell: People can't see that, but what you see is the people that have the most consistency over time they have the most success right. And then you always have muddied waters in the beginning, whether it's the first couple episodes, the average podcast, doesn't make it past 13 episodes. [00:06:15] Matthew Baltzell: Wow. So if you continue to basically network like you're doing right now, you have a platform and over time, when you go to put out a deal, You've already developed your network and you can raise 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 million now for a deal, as opposed to like, oh, now I have a deal. Now I'm gonna go on podcast. Now I'm gonna post on link, LinkedIn, you should be doing all these things before they even start. [00:06:40] Matthew Baltzell: The time to start working out is two years before you have a heart attack. Not when you have a heart attack, the time to tell somebody you loved them is today, not when they're dead. You know what I'm saying? Right.  [00:06:50] Sam Wilson: Absolutely. Absolutely. No, I love that. And I think that's one of the things that people who don't podcast, probably don't see as a benefit is just the networking side of it. [00:06:58] Sam Wilson: I mean, it's been for me the single fastest way I've grown, my network is by podcasting. This is, again I'm copy and paste. There's no or, success leaves clues. So. I'm following Whitney, I'm following Joe and running a daily show. And it's like, okay, that's 365 new guests a year. [00:07:14] Sam Wilson: It's like, okay, this is really cool. Like I am learning and building. And again, like you said, I think that's something that people overlook. When, if they're if they're looking to start a podcast or looking to get into it, That's gonna be your primary benefit outta the gate is building your network and not necessarily, going out and while you do raise more money, I think that's the primary benefit you get is just building your network. [00:07:32] Sam Wilson: And that should be it.  [00:07:33] Matthew Baltzell: Yeah, for sure. And I think people make the mistake of like, Let's say you have a daily podcast or you do have a daily podcast or I, Joe fearless has a daily podcast and people think like, oh, who am I? Who am I to raise capital? Or who am I to have a podcast? Nobody's gonna wanna listen to me. [00:07:48] Matthew Baltzell: Right. Right. But you are an individual, right? Yes. It might be a copycat. A copy and paste method. Like everybody's having a podcast, but I wanna hear what you have to say about the market. I want to hear what you have to say about networking. I wanna hear what you have to say. So there's thousands of capital razors. [00:08:05] Matthew Baltzell: You can go with whoever you want. Right? Who do you like know and trust and people that have consistency, especially with the digital footprint. You're more likely to like no one trust them as opposed to somebody that's just starting their podcasts, something that's just starting to blog someone. That's just starting the newsletter, et cetera, et C. [00:08:20] Sam Wilson: Absolutely. Absolutely. So you launched a podcast company, you saw holes in the industry, you saw it was fragmented and you said, you know what? I think I can help real estate investors solve problem X, what is the problem you are solving?  [00:08:33] Matthew Baltzell: Yeah, so like I was, we're touching on briefly, right? So there's analog and then there's digital. [00:08:38] Matthew Baltzell: So the analog is basically the old school way. Right? Real estate is like traditionally like a good old boys club is the slow moving part, shake cans, kiss babies, go to conferences. How can you do that? Right. You can maybe go to Dallas. You could go to so many, there was C, right. But now as everything was digital, You go on one podcast, you have 365. [00:08:59] Matthew Baltzell: What? 365 episodes. Maybe you don't have 'em on the weekends. Let's say you have 300 episodes per year. Right? Right. And let's say your average downloads is a thousand. We'll just make that up. You have 300,000 listens downloads of people listening to you, right. That's astronomical. Right? So if somebody is going on two podcast, episodes of wi a. [00:09:21] Matthew Baltzell: Right. And we'll just say that the average podcast has a thousand downloads are going on two podcasts, 2000 downloads a month, 24,000 downloads a year you've already got your message across the 24,000 people. And American express says it takes seven different touchpoints for people to take action. [00:09:39] Matthew Baltzell: So as much as I like you, this is the first time you and I are talking, right. You can present me with a deal with a two X equity, multiple under red it within five years. Six to eight per et cetera, et cetera. And I can be like, like that seems pretty reasonable for the market, but why am I gonna invest with you as opposed to Joe FARs? [00:09:56] Matthew Baltzell: Right. I've never spoken with Joe far, but I've spoken to you. Maybe. I like you, maybe I don't, but maybe after I hear you, the third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh time. That's when you see results, that's when the lagging indicator comes. That's when you go to the gym, that's when you don't have the heart attack. [00:10:10] Matthew Baltzell: Right. But the people that just come in, right. And they try and do one rep and they tear their muscles and it's like, okay this podcasted thing. It wasn't for me. But the people that state, but the people that consistently are out there podcasting. They know, and they realize the value of being on podcasts. [00:10:27] Matthew Baltzell: And that's where we come in. One I've been on, I've been on a bunch of podcasts. I've leveraged my network. I had 114 podcast episodes. And so we helped real estate investors leverage our, my, our platform to help get on other industry, leading platforms, such as your podcast. And then it is just very synergistic. [00:10:45] Matthew Baltzell: Hopefully they raise more money, raise more capital, attract, more deal flow, et cetera. and That's where we come in  [00:10:51] Sam Wilson: that, yeah, that's really cool. I like that. And I think certainly I don't, at this point, don't handle my own bookings anymore. It's something where I've got a team member that takes care of getting everybody lined up and booked. [00:11:01] Sam Wilson: So, but I'm pretty sure you guys have sent some people our way, which I've certainly. Yeah, for sure. Always. Absolutely. Thank you again for that. absolutely, man. I know it's a great, it's a win-win and people. I think people overlook that. Like I know when the first podcast I went on two or three years ago as a guest. [00:11:16] Sam Wilson: It went back to that, probably the self doubt questions. Like why do I, why does anybody wanna have me on a podcast? Like, I'm just a guy doing deals. So is everybody else like, there's a lot of those things that, that I think people don't expect that they would make a great guest and, or yeah, for sure. [00:11:29] Sam Wilson: And, or they're so busy that they would make a phenomenal guest, but don't have time to go out and actually figure out how to go get on the shows cuz it's just like I got other things going on and figuring out which shows to get on is a a piece of work. Tell me about this. What do you say makes a great guest when someone comes on a podcast, do you guys do any sort of coaching or any sort of like, Hey, when you get on here's some things that be, preparing here's how to Accu adequately prepare for a show. [00:11:51] Matthew Baltzell: Yeah. So one of the, one of the biggest mistakes, I'll just start off with one of the biggest mistakes is when people go on a show, right. And they get to the end of the show and they say, Sam might say, Hey, Matthew, thanks dragon on what's the best place to find best place to find you, et cetera, et cetera. [00:12:06] Matthew Baltzell: Right? Most people say, oh, Sam, thanks for having me. I'm available on LinkedIn. I'm also available at Matthew xyz.com and I also have a free ebook. And here's my phone number and reach out to me and I love to talk real estate. It's like, okay, the person that listens to a podcast, it's a very intimate experience. [00:12:25] Matthew Baltzell: They listen to the whole thing all the way you typically through. It's not like a song, you just jump in the middle. Right, right. And so it's like, you got to the end, you almost want the reward. And it's like, okay, what's going to incentivize me to stop listening to this podcast. And what'd he say, he used to go to Instagram, LinkedIn. [00:12:42] Matthew Baltzell: Here's his email and he likes to talk real estate. Okay. So we encourage people to practice a clear and concise call to action, right. Something that has some scarcity. So you could say, Hey, for the first two people to go to my website or first two first two real estate investors to go to my website and click on the pro click. [00:12:59] Matthew Baltzell: And we're register a call with me and into the promo code. Sam will receive. 25% off my coaching program or something like that. Right. Right now, when they enter the promo code, Sam, where they came from. So if you 1500 people, et cetera, et cetera, entered it, then all of a sudden you're like, wow, I was on Sam's podcast. [00:13:17] Matthew Baltzell: And now we got a hundred leads from Sam's podcast. Now, you know where they're coming from. And the people that are listening to that are like, oh, there's only. They're only giving away this promotion to two people. I better get home as fast as possible because this episode just released at five o'clock from work and I'm driving home and I'm gonna go over this website and I'm gonna enter my information. [00:13:36] Matthew Baltzell: But if you just say, Hey, I'll talk to you when I talk to you, maybe I'll see you next year at the bigger pockets. A conference it's like, right. Okay. Whatever. So yeah, I would say that's one of the biggest mistakes that typically not only real estate investors make going on podcasts, but a lot of people that make going on podcasts. [00:13:53] Matthew Baltzell: And then the second thing I would say is like, know what you want to talk about. Right. And so whether whatever that topic is, feel somewhat comfortable with it and practice it over. Right. And when you are going on your first couple podcasts, you, no, you're not gonna be great. You're gonna muddle through it. [00:14:10] Matthew Baltzell: You hosted your podcast, you have a bunch of episodes. I'm sure it's painful to listen to the first 20 podcast episodes, as opposed to where you are now. Right? You're more, you're better at conversation. You were talking, we were talking earlier, like I was talking to an investor, BA Bing, BA boom. [00:14:24] Matthew Baltzell: You picked up the mic and here we are talking right. A year ago. You probably would've prepped like an hour for an interview. Like, oh my God, like, what is this person? It's insane. Right. Right. So. I mean, people should practice. Right. And realize that it's not gonna come necessarily, oh, some people are better at it than others, but you know, with more practice you become a better podcast guest and myself included. [00:14:45] Matthew Baltzell: Right. I just started recently going on the podcast in circuit talking about this business, I've been on other podcasts talking about, earlier, like. A year and a half ago talking about, real estate investment side, but it just takes time. And, people shouldn't beat themselves up, cuz everybody has an interesting story and people want to hear about your story, not just regurgitated information about. [00:15:05] Matthew Baltzell: Blah, blah, blah, blah,  [00:15:05] Sam Wilson: blah. right. I love that. Yeah. The idea of getting your reps in is you just have to do it, get your reps in, make your mistakes. If you're listening to this and go, gosh, we've never been on a show. Come on this one, if you're an experienced and, or on your way to an experienced commercial real estate investor, come on this show. [00:15:20] Sam Wilson: It's one of those things where it's less intimidating probably than what people think. But yeah, you're absolutely right. I look back on my first 20, 30, 50 episodes and I'm like Oh, like, are those still out there on the internet? They are CRI, but it's the way it is, man. It's just the way.  [00:15:33] Matthew Baltzell: Yeah. [00:15:34] Matthew Baltzell: But it, but that's the beauty of it, too. Cuz if you think about it, right, I mean, How easy is it to look at anything online, kind of, and semi duplicate it, right? You can you can Photoshop a photo. You can copy and paste a resume. But to say that you have, let's say 200 podcast episodes. [00:15:52] Matthew Baltzell: Like people concede the progression, they look, they can just jump to of 50, hear your intro and was like, ding, ding, ding, ding. And you're like, oh, Church bells, like what's going on. and then now you have a clear, concise mic. You have better audio, you have better visual. You're more natural. You're a better speaker. [00:16:10] Matthew Baltzell: And these things people wanna see progression, right? People wanna be on the upward spiral of the tornado. They don't wanna be on a plane that's going crashing and burning. Right? Like how often do you see in the headlines when something bad happens? Everybody just piles on, but when somebody's going up and up, they're like, oh yeah, like I was on Sam's podcast, like episode 55, like now there's 300. [00:16:29] Matthew Baltzell: Yeah. He's doing great. Oh man. They wanna be a part of greatness,  [00:16:32] Sam Wilson: Absolutely. Absolutely. No, man, I think that's absolutely great. Tell me what else. So you guys help people kind of, figure out how they wanna present themselves via podcast. You guys help people get book. [00:16:42] Sam Wilson: On other shows, what are some other things that you see people doing, maybe that they're doing the right doing correctly, you say, Hey man here's some things I see some of the best podcast guests doing, what are those  [00:16:52] Matthew Baltzell: things? Yeah. So I would say the people that are do that are the best podcast, guests are like modern day that have good audio and have good visuals. [00:17:03] Matthew Baltzell: And you'd be surprised like. Like you have a good microphone. I can see that I have a quality microphone. It definitely helps. Right, right. You don't want to hear like the echo chamber of like, somebody's down the hall in the closet. You sound very like, oh, this man's very soothing. He's in my ear. Then you ask me a course, like, oh, how are you doing? [00:17:20] Matthew Baltzell: Oh, good. Right. And so people that are. Having good audio, having good video audio. Yeah. Good audio and good video. Like that's something that's very very good to have. Especially now, like in today's modern world, your first representation of possibly seeing me or possibly seeing you is gonna be like, oh cool. [00:17:39] Matthew Baltzell: He has some books over there in the corner. Like maybe I, maybe we were late. I can't necessarily see those, but he has about 10 in the left hand corner. You have your logo in the upper left hand corner. You have. Your brand on your shirt, like, okay, this guy looks serious, but if you had a greeny camera and bad audio, it's like, I'm out. [00:17:58] Matthew Baltzell: I don't necessarily, he could be a good guy. I don't know. Maybe do I wanna invest? I don't know. He can't even buy a good microphone. We'll make some things. He can handle a hundred thousand dollars of my money.  [00:18:06] Sam Wilson: Ouch. There it is. There it is. I like that. I like the directness here. You're absolutely correct. [00:18:11] Sam Wilson: You're absolutely correct. And that's something that, that I've had to and again, we're just talking here, but I've had to ask a couple of guests. Hey, let's reschedule. Let's reschedule when you can get your camera or your mic or something, set up correctly because I've recorded episodes before in the past where I've allowed people to use sub quality or mics or cameras and things like that. [00:18:30] Sam Wilson: And then I get done with it. I'm like, gosh, that was a 30 minute waste of my time. Cuz. it just wasn't as good as it could be. And it's not even, I mean, gosh, you can get a decent setup for under a few hundred bucks, if you're yeah, just a, an amateur podcast guest, I mean a decent setup, a few hundred dollars. [00:18:45] Sam Wilson: I mean, mine, of course, I've got a lot more money than maybe but I do this daily, so that's a different. But it's your business  [00:18:51] Matthew Baltzell: for sure. Yeah, absolutely. Absolutely. That's the thing you should, you, you should be, didn't like your business, right? Right. I mean, think about it. If you were in the conference and you went up to somebody and they shook your hand and they had like, not a firm handshake and it was kind of limp and they. [00:19:01] Matthew Baltzell: Shook your watch and you're initially you're automatically thinking like, well, that was kinda weird. Does it mean you're not gonna like that person? Does it mean you're not gonna have a good relationship? No, but you're already starting off on the back foot. Right. And if somebody's coming to you and you're having a thousand downloads per episode, and you're having 300 episodes a year, you. [00:19:16] Matthew Baltzell: You wanna put the best foot forward and have a good representation or you're trying to raise capital, et cetera. Do you want have a grainy website? Do you want to have a broken down non-professional copy written newsletter? No. These are things that you don't want to have. You wanna have these buttoned up be this guy's a, an experienced sponsor who can handle capital and he can raise the deals and track deal flow, et cetera. [00:19:36] Sam Wilson: Right man. That's cool. That's absolutely cool. What do you like, like talk, talk me through the process when somebody comes on board with you, can you kind of break that down? Just so our guess that idea of what it is exactly that you guys do and how the process works. Yeah.  [00:19:49] Matthew Baltzell: So somebody would typically we'd schedule a sales call and, or not sales call, but we just basically have a conversation, right. [00:19:54] Matthew Baltzell: To see where you're at within your real estate investing. Journey. Right. And so typically, we work with capital razor sponsors. And then we see, where you're trying to go from there. What is your goal necessarily? Are you trying to raise $1 million? Are you trying to raise $500,000? [00:20:10] Matthew Baltzell: Are you trying to track more deals? And so we kind of figure it out from there. And then we construct a plan to determine if podcasting is going to be a good avenue for you to help promote your message. So if you're like, Hey, I want to do 15 deals or two deals next year. It's like, okay, like maybe that's possible. [00:20:29] Matthew Baltzell: How many deals have you done so far? And then if it's from there, it's like, okay, these are the podcasts we typically work with. I think we can get you this many impressions across the board over. X Y Z amount of time, if you're trying to go, if you think it's this episode, we're recording in July 5th. [00:20:48] Matthew Baltzell: Right? So if you're listening to this episode and you think you're gonna have a deal under contract end of October, early November, now's a good time to start promoting that message or, Hey, I'm traveling all summer. I'm not gonna be able to do this. Okay. Like maybe that's not gonna work out. [00:21:04] Matthew Baltzell: So then once you decide to come on board, from there, we basically looked at your marketing material. How experienced are you as a marketer? What are you using as a lead capture page help? You can construct your funnel. And then from there, we do a little bit of coaching as well to basically help you develop that and then link you up with the proper podcast that we see fit and then help you push out your material. [00:21:26] Matthew Baltzell: And then another thing we're working on, but we haven't released it is as far as the. Basically segmenting up your video and everything that you are when you go on a podcast and having that be micro content. So you can continuously, if let's say you were doing two podcast episodes a month and you have one, one hour long video, or one 30 minute video, you could break that up into three or four pieces plus the full 30 minute piece. [00:21:49] Matthew Baltzell: And now you have your newsletter. Now you post one piece of content on LinkedIn, and then now you're able to. Post three or four times weekly with your podcast, with your newsletter, with one pod or with one promotion or something on separately on, on LinkedIn. Now, all of a sudden, you're starting to say people's top of mind. [00:22:07] Matthew Baltzell: Now you have more content and it's especially, you don't have to generate the content. Right? People think like I gotta make content today. Like, oh my God, what do I do? It's like, go on a podcast, have somebody break it up for you. It's.  [00:22:18] Sam Wilson: Right. And that's and that's all from one episode. I think that's the cool part is that you've taken one episode, you've pulled out, 20, again, pieces of micro content and said, okay. [00:22:26] Sam Wilson: And again, for the busy professional, you having somebody like you come in and kind of handle that suite of services a to Z, cuz there's a lot to think about that you just mentioned in there. Yeah. Everything from what shows should you be on how to prepare for and building, building your funnels building, okay. So what's the call to actions? How are we gonna republish this content? There's a lot of moving pieces involved with podcasting and with being a good podcast guest and also even, from the host side is getting getting our guests to res. So even from, it's really great having guests come on the show, but if our guests aren't taking the stuff that we're giving them and then marketing it to their audience, it's kind of not completely wasted cuz obviously we pump it out on our end, but man, you won't get nearly the traction out of it. [00:23:07] Sam Wilson: So we even on this side are working really hard to get our guests, to use the content that we're providing. So that's really cool. What you guys  [00:23:13] Matthew Baltzell: do understandable. Yeah,  [00:23:14] Sam Wilson: for sure. Matthew I've really enjoyed having you come on the show today. Talk about podcasting. What's that? I was  [00:23:21] Matthew Baltzell: just gonna say, I enjoyed your style. [00:23:23] Matthew Baltzell: I liked it a lot. And it was a pleasure being here. Thank you for  [00:23:25] Sam Wilson: having me. Absolutely, man. I mean, and you gave some great, we haven't really done an episode like this that just talks about what it means to be a good podcast guest. What does it mean to come on a show and be absolutely prepared to to knock it outta the park? [00:23:37] Sam Wilson: And so you've given our listeners, I think some really cool things to think about. As it pertains to, one, one ha being good podcast guest, and also what it takes, to actually use th

There is a new animated film on Apple+ (Luck) and a documentary about the Father of Claymation (Claydream). Ron Howard turns a story that got the doc treatment last year about the Thailand cave rescue into a feature (Thirteen Lives) and stand-up comic Jo Koy stars in a film based on his life (Easter Sunday). The Predator franchise springs to new life in the 18th century (Prey) and Brad Pitt takes on a locomotive full of assassins (Bullet Train).
