Your host, Lloyd Ross, The Millionaire Money Mentor dives into the depths of his personal connection with real estate.

Through these experiences, Your Millionaire Money Mentor has come to realize that real estate holds both tremendous potential and unexpected pitfalls. But here's the twist: Lloyd consciously chose to distance himself from traditional real estate investments at this stage of his life.

Quite the contrary, his extensive knowledge and understanding of the real estate market have shaped Your Millionaire Money Mentor's perspective on its advantages and challenges. In this episode, we'll delve into what Lloyd loves about real estate – its predictability, steady cash flows, and the leverage it offers for wealth creation. We'll also explore what he dislikes – the transacting costs, short-term unpredictability, and the responsibility it entails.

UPI or the Unified Payments Interface has revolutionised the way we use money. So much so that we don't think twice about freely accept financial connections with strangers. Since its launch seven years ago, 300 million users in India are on the UPI platform freely carrying out financial transactions.But did you know that your bank can block your account without a warning or any explanation? And what's worst, you could even come under the radar of law enforcement authorities like the cyber crime police.

This had led them to adopt a ‘block first, ask questions later' approach that's been making the lives of innocent victims even harder.Tune in to find out more.RecommendationOn the UPI social network, who do you ‘know'?

He's heavily focused on the world of NFTs and the metaverse and is known for putting together extremely punchy and thoughtful Twitter threads, thinking about the world from first principles. NFTs will represent every single digital non-fungible token that exists…and there are going to be a lot of them. Is Punk6529 the most bullish person in the world on NFTs? In this episode, 6529 shares the benefits of using an NFT-backed pseudonym instead of your state name, why the “freedom to transact” is an essential human liberty we'll lose without crypto, how the Metaverse is just a visualization layer of NFTs, and why NFTs are more important than DeFi…probably the most important thing crypto has produced. ------

Cold weather and the urge to pee [20:04] Michael B. says: Every year when the temperature drops I feel the need to urinate more often. It especially hits me the hardest when first going outside into the cold even if I just went. It also happens when I get cold water on my hands. I have been upping my salt content in an attempt to keep the fluids in my body longer. The urge does slowly lesson as winter progresses. My diet is Paleo around 100grams of carbs a day. I do have a meal or two a week that isn't, my job keeps me on my feet and active exercise consists of mt biking once a week and chasing my five year old daily. I'm 43 6'2” and 220lbs. Definitely a so called dad bod. So what is up with all the peeing? What's my body doing and is there something I can do rather then just waiting for my body to adjust to the weather? Thanks, been listening and reading your stuff since the very beginning. https://www.accuweather.com/en/health-wellness/why-does-cold-weather-make-me-need-to-pee/647306#:~:text=Cold%20weather%20will%20result%20in,having%20to%20pee%20more%20often.   2. Zone 2 Exercise / LMNT through Amazon [23:57] BJ David says: Hi Robb & Nicki.  Long time listener.  You have answered a couple of my questions over the last few years through your podcast.  Thanks.  Feels like we're besties.  Can't wait to get your Christmas card this year!  Ha. Ok, so we live very close to a major Amazon hub in Greater Cincinnati, on the KY side of the river.  To my horror yesterday morning I opened the pantry to get an LMNT pack and there were none.  Zero.  Zilch.  My lovely bride had used the last one apparently.  Moving swiftly into action, I jumped on the Amazon app and ordered a box.  Honest to goodness, it was at my front door in a couple hours.  Didn't even have to wait a whole day.  That's some magic right there.  Woohoo!  Side note, I went ahead and clicked the box to get it auto-shipped monthly.  It really is that good. So, my question is about Zone 2 exercise.  My integrative Dr told me to use Zone 2 if I was still interested in losing/maintaining weight...that it is the best fat burning zone.  Over recent episodes I've heard you repeatedly mention getting in your Zone 2 workouts and that you've been paying more attention to them lately.  I'm pretty sure you've even mentioned that you really don't want to get any leaner.  Soooo, why are you recently so committed to Zone 2 exercise?  What are the benefits you're after? Thanks to you both.  Keep up the great work. BJ David   3. BJJ training and bruising [30:04] Jason says: I've been training 12 years and over time I've realized my body has built up a great tolerance to bruising, to the point you'd have to beat me with a stick to abuse a bruise. However @ the last 5 years I get bruising on my face almost every training session. Not like a black and blue bruise, more like a strawberry color like a brush burn, and it goes away in 24-48hrs. Healthy 51 years old, no meds, mostly ancestral diet, moderate alcohol consumption. 1/2-3/4 bottle of wine per day.   Bonus question for fun! About twice per year my wife will make a awesome homemade apple pie and we have this argument every time. Her philosophy is eat just a little piece every day until it's gone. Mine is have a grueling workout then sit down with 1/2 gallon of ice cream and do my best to kill it all at one sitting so I'm not tempted to eat it again for months. Who's side are you on? Ps i don't care the answer because I'm still eating the whole damn thing lol! Sponsor: The Healthy Rebellion Radio is sponsored by our electrolyte company, LMNT.

The traditional approach to banking is transactional. Customers need to make a deposit or move money, so they interact with their bank to get the job done. Once the transaction is complete, the relationship stalls until the next time customers need help. But in today's connected world—buoyed by the growth of fintech startups—customers are looking for brands to be strategic advisors. It's more about building a lasting relationship and providing continual value than checking off a transactional box. And although this trend is evident in the world of finance, the principle applies to every industry. ________ Blake Morgan is a customer experience futurist, keynote speaker, and author of the bestselling book The Customer Of The Future. For regular updates on customer experience, sign up for her weekly newsletter here. 

This week on The Defiant podcast we speak to Zooko, the founder of Zcash. Privacy remains one of the hottest issues in crypto after the U.S. Treasury's recent move to sanction Tornado Cash. Zooko believes the ability to consent to what information is made public is more about freedom than privacy and he thinks that eventually, this will be expected in the blockchain space. We explore what a private transaction using ZEC actually looks like, with shielded addresses visible only to the sender and receiver. Finally, Zooko talks about The Electric Coin Company's future plans, which include moving Zcash from proof-of-work to proof-of-stake and a standalone wallet.

I'm writing today specifically to give you permission to transact. If you've met with your family and your financial advisor and you've collectively decided that it makes sense for your financial plan to acquire a new property - do it. If you've met with your family and your financial advisor and you've collectively decided that it makes sense for your financial plan to sell a property you currently own - do it. I'm seeing too much concern/anxiety out there about where real estate markets will go from here and how to best “time” one's next real estate transaction. I don't see a lot of value in speculating or prognosticating about where your gut (or my gut) is telling us about the direction of real estate prices. My encouragement today will be on the importance of patience and how fear and greed typically cause the most damage. Note, the focal point for me today is more on one's primary residence or second home. There is a different type of analysis when discussing investment properties. For investment properties, we'd most likely be juxtaposing multiple opportunities and concluding which poses the optimal risk/reward outcome. The acquisition or sale of a residence - your home specifically - will have more qualitative factors that need to be weighed, assessed, and considered.

Your government is a Ponzi scheme. Yes, we're talking about all governments. Think of all the money being printed out by the central bank just to cover all the debt that's being incurred, while they're simultaneously encouraging more investors to enter the system. It's a long cycle of paying earlier investors with funds from recent investors, and all that debt gets transferred to the shoulders of the general public. Yes, people like you. So much social engineering goes into making sure that you are controlled by money. The truth is it's just a piece of paper. “It's no longer actual, like a certificate to trade it back in for gold or something else. It's a note. It's debt. We're just, we're throwing debt around, you work so someone else can print more and make your work worth less,” Alexander explained. As the system grows, more people join, earn debt, and pay back into it. The people issuing are the ones who get more funds. The ones at the top are earning big. The one thing that the government cannot regulate, no matter how hard they try, is trade. Trade is incredibly dynamic and grows alongside humans. It adapts and comes from all different areas. It's a core human activity—one that TARTLE is passionate about preserving. Here's the Key. Unlock Your Cage. Your existence is highly improbable. Imagine the long list of successful choices your ancestors make so that you could become a living, breathing, and thinking being.  Going through the daily motions of working, eating, and sleeping can make it difficult to think of the bigger picture. But you deserve to have opportunities where you can connect, find meaning, and explore the world around you. No false sense of scarcity. No limits. TARTLE was made to allow that sense of independence and connection. On this platform, all transactions occur exclusively between a buyer and a seller. Everything on the platform comes with no strings attached and was made because someone worked hard to create it. Conversely, everything you bring to the platform is borne out of your own efforts. You will get paid for your hard work and no one else. Transact in truth. Act with power. It's time to step out of that cage. Sign up for TARTLE through this link here.

What is the main reason you decided to invest in a smartphone or a laptop? For many of us, it's the utility and convenience that comes with being able to connect with multiple people in just a few taps that seals the deal for us. For others, it's a hobby to follow the latest tech developments and invest in new releases. Regardless of why you choose to invest in new gadgets, technology has definitely enhanced our quality of living and made it easier to network. But we question: at what cost? Covert Surveillance and Data Collection In this episode, Alexander McCaig and Jason Rigby use an analogy of a gold bar to drive their point home.  Let's say that you've been storing one for years. You saved up for it and you know that it's yours, it's a property that you've worked hard to obtain. But what if someone just grabs it and claims it as theirs? This is what big tech does to you every day. Big data has become the automation of oppression. We are being farmed for our information, which in turn is being analyzed and used for a variety of purposes. For example, we give social media companies the power to control our perspective of the world when they have the data to refine the algorithms used in deciding top posts in our feed.  We give away our location, consumer preferences, and contact details, and connections without understanding the full impact of our inaction. It's not just a lost opportunity to profit off of what is rightfully ours. It is an infringement on our basic human rights and freedom. Bring Back Big Tech to You With TARTLE, we want to bring the focus back to your rights. Our platform is an effort to remind you that technology is supposed to be a tool for empowerment and emancipation. It is designed for that evolution, for that upbringing, uplifting of the human being. To be clear, big tech is not the enemy. We've only been placed in a difficult situation because for years, corporations have had free reign over the development of technologies—and the regulations that come with it. We did not have the perception, tools, and resources that could engineer a solution against exploiting the data sharing features. That changes with TARTLE.

Soraya Darabi is redefining venture capital by investing in undervalued, nonobvious founders who have something to prove and will make the world a better place because of it.Virginie Raphael is redefining venture capital by capitalizing on an emerging trend in fund structure innovation to better align founders and investors.Heather Hartnett is redefining venture capital by building a firm that resonates with a new wave of exceptional entrepreneurs.Learn more about Transact Global ›When Soraya Darabi, Virginie Raphael, and Heather Hartnett first met each other in 2018, they connected over their shared experiences of raising first-time funds as women in an industry that has long been dominated by men. All three women were emerging managers at their own respective funds: Soraya is a co-founder and general partner of TMV, an early-stage venture fund; Virginie is founder and managing partner of FullCircle, a preseed and seed-stage fund; and Heather is CEO and general partner of Human Ventures, a venture studio and fund.Alongside Alexia Bonatsos, founder of venture fund Dream Machine, and Marina Hadjipateras, Soraya's partner at TMV, the women began conducting weekly calls together that they jokingly referred to as “Transact” because of how transactional these meetings felt. They suspected that other women who were trying to raise their first funds would benefit from calls like these, and they soon formalized the conversations to include others who were interested.And just like that, Transact Global was born. Today, Transact is nearly 200 members strong and growing, with emerging managers from over 15 countries meeting together on a bi-weekly basis to share best practices, discover which LPs are allocating capital, and help each other move further and faster together. The women of Transact stay connected through a weekly newsletter, a Slack channel, a Whatsapp group chat, and fundraising pods.Learn more about TMV ›Learn more about FullCircle ›Learn more about Human Ventures ›

Today's podcast guest, Stephen Freitas (Executive Advisor to the OAAA and Partner in OOH Capital) says the out of home industry needs to make it easier to transact.  He also tells a great story about Malcolm Gladwell. Is the out of home industry doing a good job marketing itself? Yes....If you take a step back and look at what the industry has been doing over the last decade and look at where the industry was before the great recession in 2009 and where the industry is today I think that transformation has really been like night and day…there's been consolidation in the industry in terms of how it thinks and how it presents itself... Stephen Freitas, Partner, OOH Capital If you could magically change one thing about the way out of home is bought and sold, what would that be? ...I think the magic comes from making the medium simpler to transact.  Easier to buy and sell…The data piece is only part of the equation.  The other part is simplification.  Because you want the buyer seller relationship to be streamlined as much as possible…We need to as an industry think bigger and think about ourselves as a channel…Yes it might be true that one media company has a streamlined buy/sell process in place.  But brands and agencies want to evaluate the total out of home ecosystem for all formats that are in the market…we have to step away from those walled gardens that some of the larger media companies have and think about the total media landscape and all that out of home can offer… OOH Capital We want to help cities understand how out of home can be integrated into their long term thinking about smart cities, franchises and planning and how out of home can be part of successful smart city buildouts.  We want to help real estate developers understand more about out of home.  We want to help companies that are investing in the space to better understand out of home… Sponsor of this Billboard Insider Podcast. Reach potential customers where they live work and play with AdWatch Media's Digital Marketing Services. The top OOH story for 2021 The top story is the rebound after the covid lockdown.  Vaccines are going in arms now and communities and businesses are opening…and summer is coming…I have no doubt out of home is going to thrive.  I thing we're going to see a strong rebound…The recovery was very slow after the great recession.  The industry was down in 2009 about 18%.  It actually took…until 2015 before the industry passed it's pre-recession levels.  I think we're in a better shape this time with the pandemic.  We could certainly see a rebound to pre-pandemic levels by the end of 2022 or early 2023… You've attended lots and lots of OAAA conferences and events. Any fun stories? It's a fun story now but I was having high blood pressure at the time.  We had booked Malcolm Gladwell, the famous author of the Tipping Point and other books…He was very very expensive…He's very low key.  A nice guy.  We always have the hotel tell us when the speakers check in so we know they are on-site.  I tried to reach out to him that night, “Hey Malcolm do you want dinner.  I'm happy to buy your dinner.”  “No, no, I'll just eat in my room.”  He's very quiet.  He likes to stay to himself…The next morning he was the keynote speaker.  He was going to lead things off…We always want the speakers there at least 30 minutes early.  He wasn't there.  Where's Malcolm?  No answer in his room.  Where's Malcolm?…The clock strikes.  The house lights go down.  "Please welcome Malcolm Gladwell"…I'm backstage going oh, my gosh, what are we going to do?  And here he comes sauntering up the aisle from the back of the theater and he just took the stage and took over and spoke and mesmerized everybody… Please enable JavaScript in your browser to complete this form.Never miss a Billboard Insider article.

#53 - How We Use Stories to Sell Humans are storytellers. For thousands of years we've used stories to communicate things to each other. It's ingrained in us, and woven through just about every aspect of what we do… most especially in how we conduct commerce. By that I mean, how we TRANSACT… how merchants sell things, and how consumers make decisions about what products to buy. So then how exactly do we use stories to sell? I think they fall into one of 5 categories.
