Podcasts about travelers

This week, we welcome the cast of the Tabletop Journeys podcast to talk about their newest book on the DM's Guild, The Traveler's Guide to the Multiverse. Join us as we discuss siege weapons, items inspired by planar travel, and some preliminary speculation about Spelljammer. An apology before starting: we had some technical issues with recording - Ian's audio recorded through his webcam, not his microphone, so his audio sounds very muffled and echoic. We cleaned it up as best we could, and everyone else's audio came out fine. We will be sure to have our normal high-quality audio for next week's episode. You can find our guests on Twitter (@ttjourneys), or via their website, ttjourneys.com. You can also find their book on the DM's Guild here: https://www.dmsguild.com/browse.php?author=Tabletop%20Journeys We had a bunch of shoutouts this week, so here's the list: Jason Ward and Jason Percy (Accidental Cyclops), and their game, The Real Thing: @FunWithOneEye (Twitter) or accidentalcyclops.com 19 Hits the Dragon: @19HitstheDragon Thinking Critically: @ThinkCritDnD Dads with Nerdy Ambitions: redcircle.com/shows/dads-with-nerdy-ambitions Sean (McRoMusic): @seanmcro Beth the Bard: @ItsBethTheBard Sadie Lowry: @incandescaent   Find us on Facebook: facebook.com/UndercommonTaste Follow us on Twitter: twitter.com/ucthomebrew Join us on Instagram: instagram.com/undercommontaste Support us on Patreon: patreon.com/undercommontaste  Chat with us on Discord: https://discord.gg/64R7ze3fBV Watch us live on Twitch: twitch.tv/undercommontaste Find our shorts on Tiktok: tiktok.com/@undercommon_taste Our theme song is Massacre Anne, written and performed by Mary Crowell, and used with permission.

Today, I have the pleasure of interviewing Brett Riley. We'll be talking about his YA fantasy/thriller novel, Freaks.  Brett Riley is the author of The Subtle Dance of Impulse and Light (Ink Brush Press), Comanche (Imbrifex Books), Lord of Order (Imbrifex), Freaks (Imbrifex), and Travelers (2022). His short fiction has appeared in journals such as The Baltimore Review, F(r)iction, Solstice, Folio, The Evansville Review, and many others. His nonfiction has appeared in CrimeReads, Role Reboot, Broad River Review, Rougarou, Green Hills Literary Lantern, Literary Orphans, Under the Gum Tree, Wild Violet, and Foliate Oak Magazine. He lives in Henderson, NV.   In this episode Brett Riley and I discuss: How he portrayed and deepened the bond between his main characters. The double-sided nature of superhero powers and why he showed his characters' weaknesses. Why it's fascinating to let superheroes be bad and what that exploration reveals. Plus, his #1 tip for writers. For more info and show notes: diymfa.com/410

Take a moment to explore what comes up for you when you think about national parks. Are you seeing imagery of a specific place that you've been to or want to visit? Are memories scrolling across the screen in your mind of family vacations? Trips with friends? Solo adventures? Recalling the sights, smells, and experiences we've had exploring these incredible places can truly be a visceral experience, something that brings us back to our intrinsic connection with nature. It comes as no surprise that just like everywhere else, national parks are feeling the impacts of climate change. Join Jenna and her guest, Founder and Editor-in-Chief of National Parks Traveler, Kurt Repanshek, as the two explore how our changing climate is impacting some of the country's most treasured places, national parks.

This episode carries content warnings for insect infestation, spiders, bodily transformation, gun violence, threat of dissection/forced medical inspection, death. It has been a long journey for Duvall. He first came to the heartland from Aldomina years ago, in search of adventure and glory. But he found only questions of the most existential sort, and a city that would reshape him utterly. Now, years later, he upholds a promise he made to his cousin journeys heads home. This week on Sangfielle: Six Travelers: Duvall   The Almanac of the Heartland Rider Places The Sleeping City: Every 13 years, a metropolis wakes with the buzzing sound of life. Do not cross its borders uninvited, especially not when it and its inhabitants are at rest. Upon visiting the City,  Blackwick County: From the mines to the lake, the hills to the flats, the town once called Eastern Folly has felt a little more expansive now that it's out of the hard grip of the old curse. It's people aren't perfect, but they've made it through some dark times, and that's more than most can say. The First Canton, aka Aldomina the Throne of Dominion: Once a fledgling human empire but nearly 1900 years ago, a minor duke of some great hell led an effort to take it over. And once they did, they pushed what was an already spreading empire even further in that direction.  The Second Canton, aka The Pale Magistratum (ma-juh-strah-tuhm): The Second Canton has ordered itself. Concentus, the Ringed City (kun-CHEN-tus): A vast ringed city surrounding (and containing) Sangfielle. Covered in magical wards, filled with those eager to delve into the heartland or to push back its most fearsome creatures. The gaslit city of Concentus is now the most technologically advanced metropolis of the continent.  Facts and Figures The Red Zephyr: A train what takes on strange character under the moonlight. For a month, it's torn into not only Bell Metal Station, but also any passing train it could reach. But when the Blackwick Group investigated it, they found that the Zephyr was in fact the Shape Knight Fezh, transformed into this new horror by the person they trusted most of all. The Course: There is debate about the true nature of the Heartland's Truth, the power that turned Sangfielle into what it is today. But the Cleavers call it the Course. Part river, part lesson, part direction traveled. Entirely beyond the grasp of mortal minds.  Organizations Cleavers: Given how loose and fluid this collection of monster hunters, mystery solvers, and naturalists is, it's hard to call them “an organization.” But when the central belief system of a group is that everything is ever in flux, well, give them the credit of applying that particular ontology to themselves: Whether left to their own devices or joined to a commune of other cleavers, on a long enough timeline, they all become tremendous, monstrous angels. Aldomina (al-doh-mee-nah): What once stood as the name of the whole continent is now only the name of the Confederation that runs across the eastern half of the territory surrounding the Sangfielle, currently constituted by three sub-states called Cantons.  Hosted by Austin Walker (@austin_walker) Featuring Art Martinez-Tebbel (@atebbel) and Andrew Lee Swan (@swandre3000) Produced by Ali Acampora (@ali_west) Music by Jack de Quidt (available on bandcamp) Text by Austin Walker Cover Art by Craig Sheldon (@shoddyrobot)

In Episode 247, Jeff Belanger and Ray Auger try out stilts in Rye, New Hampshire, in search of a 19th-century eccentric legendary peddler known as Cling-Clang. Known to travel on stilts along the coast between New Hampshire, Maine, and even into Nova Scotia, this odd vagabond has some strange habits, he only slept outside, and left a mark behind that we can still see today. But who was this regional folk legend? Murderer on the run? Heartbroken noble? Something else?

For many players, Journey, created by Jenova Chen and That Game Company, was a life-changing experience, in no small part because of Austin Wintory's gorgeous soundtrack.

This episode is a bit different as we don't talk many veteran topics.  Jared runs Thrifty Traveler and knows how to travel the world without breaking the budget.  I always try and encourage people to plan some serious time off after the military and Jared can give you the tools to do it.

There are 66 State Parks in Minnesota, and each one has its own history, attractions, and character. Instead of choosing which one to visit this summer, one intrepid travel has set out to experience all of them. Yes, all of them. Luke Gorski, senior at South Dakota State University, has begun a summer-long journey to set foot in each of the Minnesota State Parks. Luke is adding Minnesota to his resume after hiking every state park in Iowa and South Dakota in recent years. To tell us more about his pilgrimage, Luke joined Heidi Holtan and John Lattimer on the KAXE/KBXE Morning. To listen to the full interview, click the player at the top of the page.

The return to travel has come back in nearly full force and for a media brand like Condé Nast Traveler, that's music to its editors' ears. Like any travel publication in March 2020, CNT needed to pivot its editorial output to include more news about travel restrictions and less about where in the world its readers should jet off to. Since then, however, the brand has been able to pivot back to a degree, only now it has two years' worth of organizational changes and international collaboration to add to its content. As one of the brands under Condé Nast International that has reorganized to link all of its seven global editions under one editorial director, CNT has created a number of editorial packages and initiatives that include contributions from the writers and editors in the United States, the United Kingdom, Italy, Spain, the Middle East, China and India. But the international collaboration has also changed how global editorial director Divia Thani, who is based in London, and deputy global editorial director Jesse Ashlock, who is based in New York City, run their teams and lead editorial direction across several time zones. In the latest episode of the Digiday Podcast, Thani and Ashlock discuss how they've been tracking the return of travel and how they've expanded their editorial strategy to pull from the whole Condé Nast Traveler ecosystem after their international reorg.

We are back for another finale as we discuss Star Trek Picard Season 2 Episode 10 Farewell as the band complete their mission in 2024. Star Trek Picard Season 2 Episode 10 Podcast Synopsis Executive Producers: Michael Chabon & Kirsten Beyer & Akiva Goldsman & Alex Kurtzman Episode Written by: Akiva Goldsman and Christopher Monfette Episode Directed By: Michael Weaver With time ticking down to the launch of the Europa Mission, Tallinn interprets the Borg Queen's message to mean that a sacrifice is required to save Renee. Despite Picard's protests, Tallinn uses a holographic disguise to thwart Soong's murder attempt on René. Tallinn is successful but dies in Picard's arms while Renée departs on the Europa mission. Meanwhile Rafi, Seven and Rios take out Soong's back up plan to cancel the Europa Mission using his drones. After his failure, Soong returns home to find that Kore has deleted his digital files of his research, destroying his life's work, but he still retains a physical back-up with the file, labeled "Project Khan". Kore, following an unexpected message about what is next, meets with a Traveler formerly known as Wesley Crusher and is recruited to join the Travelers to Watch and Observe, as she picks a path for herself that will place her in danger. With the Europa Mission safe, Rafi, Rios, and Seven are believed to be stranded in the past, but Q arrives to speak to his friend Picard about the trial. Its purpose was for Picard to accept the past, his fate as the Jean Luc he is so that he can forgive the past and accept the love that is in his life. Q then uses the last of his power to send Picard, Seven, and Raffi back to the Stargazer in their own timeline, where Elnor is alive. Rios decides to stay in the past with Teresa. On the Stargazer, with the self-destruct ticking down, Picard recognizes that this Borg Queen is Agnes, whose collective has detected the disruption in space. Canceling the self-destruct, the Borg and Federation join forces and shields to stop a system-wide destructive event from the tear in space. Succeeding a new trans-warp conduit is revealed, part of a puzzle that is linked to a threat. Borgatti is unsure of what threat is on the other side, and offers to monitor the conduit in return for provisional membership of the Federation. Back on earth, after reuniting with the older Guinan and learning about Rios's life in the 21st century, Picard returns to his chateau and asks Laris for a second chance.

Welcome to another episode of the remote real estate investor. I'm Michael album and today I'm joined by Matt and Alex, two of our agents as part of Roofstock Certified agent network down in South Carolina. And they're going to be talking to us today about the Greenville and Spartanburg markets and everything we as investors need to know about it. So let's get into it.   Matt Crawford, Alex Fisher, how are you guys?   Man? We're doing great Michael here. Thank you guys so much for having us. Good to be here.   I guess. Yeah, our pleasure. So I know you because I work with you guys regularly as part of our certified agent network with Roofstock. But for anyone who might not be familiar with who you are, give us a quick rundown who you are. Where do you live? What what markets do you operate in? And what is it that you're all doing in real estate?   Absolutely. So for everybody out there, you know, welcome to the Roofstock remote podcast as you guys know, Michael, he's a champion of the people he's the one in the van rockin. But for us, you know me now it's we're the greatest broker Team roofstock has ever seen. That lightly, but I do mean it. I think we're very passionate about we, that what we do, how we present the products to you guys, as consumers. And as the educational base, you know, we're very thankful for the opportunity. So we represent a couple of markets here in South Carolina. It's where Alex and I are born raised. Alex, you want to add two cents on top of that, sir?   Yeah, I mean, obviously, our hometown is Columbia, really anywhere in South Carolina. That's where we have most of our experience. And you know, we love doing nothing more than trying to get out here and make some people some money and find some good deals. So our obviously our go to is going to be South Carolina areas. Love it.   And why did you guys partner up? And how did you two meet?   That's such a long story. But it's been we've been kicking it for, like 12 years. And and you know, and we're both we're both 32. So I mean, we were we were young lads and our ladies at the time were like best friends. And you know, Alex's wife was always talking to my girl about meeting Alex and I thought he was strange because he was like, a financially adept teenager, like Alex had his first house and like nine years older, or like, 19, whatever. Don't none of those. And meet Alex just kept kicking it in. You know, Alex was working at one of the top four consultancy firms. PwC. And I was out in Denver, sort of so notes and Alex, you know, hats off to him. He'd call me like, every week, checking up on me, and it's like, Matt, you know, we got to get new real estate, we have the potential. He really convinced me to move back to South Carolina. And fast forward five years. We have our own companies now.   Love it. All right, you too. Well, let's talk about Greenville and Spartanburg, South Carolina. It's a market that I'm not very familiar with. And so we're going to, you know, talk to me, like I'm five years old walked me through. Why is are these markets? Interesting? Why should people be interested in investing in rental properties in these two markets? Yeah, so   I guess the main differences between, you know, the Upstate and Columbia is property values are a little bit higher. You know, Greenville is an incredibly cool city, especially compared to Columbia. So it's, it's pretty big, and it's owned, but there's a lot around Greenville, which would, you know, be the mountains, you know, it's convenient to the beach, which is maybe about two and a half, three hours away. But also, you've got the North Carolina, you've obviously got, you know, Clemson around the area. There's a lot of opportunities in regards to Reynolds because there are a lot of colleges around there. But you know, our biggest thing is pushing the appreciation, you're going to see that the rents are not keeping up as much with the property values are at least as quickly. But the good news is they are good opportunities for long term holds because of the appreciation and from what we've been seeing the appreciation there in the upstate in general is just much stronger than it is in Colombia, that the good thing about Colombia is the opportunity for rents because the rents are keeping up with the property values, but I think we're going to see a lot of that stuff slowly. You know, I guess level off a little Bit just based on how the market is kind of moving now. So then the rents will eventually kind of just end up evening out with what the appreciation is actually doing.   And Matt, who are some of the big employers, I know, Alex, you mentioned, Clemson and a lot of colleges around there, but are other than college students and college faculty. What are people moving to the area for for your typical jobs? I mean, are there big employers there?   Yeah, you know, I think Michael, you know, putting you in the frame of mind of like a new investor coming into South Carolina, and for all the investor, and whether you're 18 years old, looking for your first rental or a seasoned investor with 100 properties, I always like to sort of start at the origin story of the market. And Greenville upstate in general, is like the textile industry of the US. I mean, you got to look historically, in South Carolina and the South, you know, this is where a large majority of the cotton of the Indigo dies of anything the derivative of the textile industry, really was created. And that really set its roots into Greenville and to Spartanburg itself. So Greenville still has a ton of products from that era, which include huge textile mills. What that means from an investor's standpoint, is that you had all this workforce housing, you know, even my mom was from easily, which is about 25 minutes from downtown Greenville. They grew up on the Mill Hill. And so as you can imagine, it's perfect substance for the gentrification to happen, you know, and it's not 20 years ago, where we could buy a house for 75,000. And now it's worth 500. But you can still follow that development curve does molding out of Greenville into areas like easily fantastic market to look into. The biggest one, I think the all star of this podcast for everyone listening is going to be Travelers Rest. And I think Alex knows a lot about this as well. Because Greenville on the Clemson grab, right, Clemson, Clemson Tigers, you know, we're about 30 minutes past Greenville. And so I got to see this beautiful development happened in Greenville, which is just created a pretty high saturated market. So now for any investors and yourself, Michael, you know, I think pushing to the satellite markets that are still quite contingent to Greenville population and economic drivers makes the most sense. So that's really were trout interest is becoming an all stock market, low property purchase prices, you know, you're talking three twos 175,000 or less, the really good median rents, almost to the 1% rule. I don't think it's as sexy as here in Colombia. It is just because Greenville has already seen so much more maturation than here in the middle the state says Greenville, so biggest thing on Greenville. Here we go Pierre's driving in and if we drive in, travelers risks going to be you're looking at o'clock at 11 o'clock to us. So guys, if you're out there, you're wanting to see properties. I can guarantee if you Zillow, Greenville, you're gonna see stuff for like 300,000 400,000 that rinse 2500 or so now you go up to Travelers Rest, those economic numbers are totally going to flip flop. So please feel free to look at these kinds of products is the same MLS as Greenville. So Alex and I will be publishing properties. And then if we come back to the center of the city in Greenville, and look at nine o'clock on the clock hands, you're going to look at easily so it's directly to the left of Greenville. Sort of right in the left there to the screen. Thanks, Pierre. Also a great case study for what's happening in this market. As a lot of the renters, the investors and the development dollars are starting to bleed out of Greenville, which is sort of the cool analogy as Greenville really had its foothold in the indigo dye business. So if you can imagine this indigo dye starting to come out of this central geo easily is fantastic. You can still find great inventory. But even as Alex and I thought, Hey man, let's open up the upstate with roof stock ease these going to be just fish in a barrel. It's not the case. You know, it's still very, very saturated with investment and institutional dollars, which puts Traveler's Rest as my number one submarket   You heard it here first, ladies and gentlemen. I love it, Matt. And to give people kind of a frame of reference, what was the general population of Greenberg? MSA?   Yeah, I think it's almost like 500,000 Okay, so it's pretty massive city. definitely bigger than I think it's like the fifth or sixth largest city in South Carolina. I definitely Being a local think it's like, probably number two of like, most sought after livable millennial culture cities. I think it goes Charleston and probably Greenville. And you know, guys, if you're looking for Airbnbs, totally different ballgame, we're talking totally different set of data here. But the short term rental market in Greenville is off the charts. And I think that is, yeah, definitely is perfectly perfectly tied to the nightlife and the culture that Greenville has done. And even just to dig a little deeper here, you know, 25 years ago, there really wasn't a main street or a main vein in Greenville, in fact, what they call false Park, which is a main park, and mainstream Greenville was beautiful, natural waterfall, it was actually covered by an overpass right here appears on a false park on the reading. So the Reedy River cuts to the city, this used to be covered up. And now in the last 10 to 15 years, they've probably dumped 100 million or more into this gorgeous walkable facility that has these natural features are just a beautiful suspension bridge. And that is has created this really nice culture that is in Greenville. And I think that's why the short term rental market really works if you're looking for higher property purchase prices, but I think your Airbnb models will be rock star here.   That's really interesting that and so talk to me a little bit about property taxes, because I think that's something that's always on people's mind is one of the a big expense that can either make or break in investment. So how do those work in in South Carolina? Or maybe more specifically, in Greenville?   Yeah, so typically what we do, and a lot of people don't realize this from the get go, but everybody's looking at Zillow, you can go to any house, and you can see what the roughly what the what the taxes would be. However, with Columbia, South Carolina, in general, the property taxes are different, you know, there's two different types of property taxes, you got an owner occupied and the non owner occupied and people don't realize the non owner occupied is obviously, you know, the, these big investors that come in, these are the taxes that these guys are gonna have to pay the small guys, whatever. So when you live in the house, and you look into Zillow, you're gonna see one number, but in reality, that number can essentially be doubled, when you start to consider that you're actually going to put a renter in place, which is a huge buzzkill for a lot of investors. But at the same time, once you kind of understand that is the case, now you can kind of work your numbers around you can kind of you'll you'll look in a different direction for the opportunity, I guess you could say. But typically, what we tell people is when it comes to taxes, the non unoccupied rate is going to be roughly and again, this is just a rule of thumb, this is not exact, is about two and a half percent of the purchase price that will give you a good gauge on, you know what your monthly cash flow would be. And as you can imagine, you know, what I would say is, you know, the owner occupied tax rate is probably around one to, you know, one and a half percent. So as you can imagine, you do the math, it's almost double what the the owner occupied rate is, which is very unfortunate. And that's probably been our biggest hurdle for the South Carolina markets. But again, you know, it just allows us to kind of, you know, I guess stretch our fingers out and see what we can find in regards to more off market properties. Maybe some smaller homes, but it really does make it more difficult for investors to actually go out and find something just because it does, it does hurt the cash flow a good bit.   Yeah, that makes total sense. And we talked a lot about Greenville. What about Spartanburg? What Should folks be aware of and where should they be looking out there?   Okay, cool. Cool. Let's uh, so drive the car, probably about 45 minutes east. And now we're at Sparkle city baby, which is sort of just a local term slang for Spartanburg that I can give no context to. I have no idea why they call it sparkle city, but it makes for a fantastic nickname. Totally. So we're driving the sparkle city. Or we're laying it down and to me, and I think even to Alex's standpoint, I'm a bigger fan of Spartanburg than Greenville. Granted, you know, snagging the Airbnb downtown mainstream Greenville. Sounds awesome. I think if you're looking to build long term rental portfolios, maybe two or three a year you're wanting to be in Spartanburg. That's just because it's more like a It's not rural in the sense, but it's more workforce housing. I think Greenville, you're going to be playing with a lot of individuals that are potentially, you know, making 80 to 100 grand a year. Not necessarily looking for a true three two rental whereas in Spartanburg it's definitely labor force and I think you find that labor force In the biggest BMW plant in the southeast, so BMW Michelin all have one of their largest manufacturing plants, right outside of Spartanburg. I think all the x five series beamers in the world are made here in this BMW plant. Which is beautiful. Yeah. So like you drive by it as it's as gorgeous setup. So really, really cool. And I think that's driven, this workforce class of tenants that you would see, of course, there's 10 colleges in Spartanburg. And if you were to visit Greenville, you're like, oh, man, this place is poppin. Like, there's Michelin star restaurants. In a beautiful downtown, you go to Spartanburg, there's like, you know, mom and pops, Biscuit Company, you know. But what you want to see, and from an investor's perspective, which I think looks good, is right downtown, is this brand new five star hotel, super swanky, beautiful rooftop, you walk into it, and you're like, oh, there's money here. Something's happening. And so to me, that says that a lot of these development dollars that have been looking around different GEOS here in South Carolina, finally, have seen Oh, Spartanburg is a super viable market, I would say maybe it's like Greenville, 15 years ago. And talk quick numbers. Whereas if you were in Greenville, your three two is 250,000. Your three two here is going to be a buck 50. So I mean, we're talking about $100,000. And price changes now that is reflected in the rent rates. That three two in Greenville is definitely a 1550 1695 monthly rent products. That same three two here in Spartanburg, you know, you are going to be looking at like 900 to $1,200. And I think that's just positioned on the type of tenant that we're commonly seeing here. But inventory is easier, you're not going to have such a saturation of buyers unless bidding wars. So I'm big fan and pro tip, bing, bing, bing, for everybody out there listening, I think, I don't know if you're gonna make that a sound but I'll do my own AdWords. I think that you know, me and Alex like, you know, we're we're we have a large acquisition base for different companies. And we're last two years has been a gauntlet with interest rates at 2.3%. Back in January of 2021. As of this year, this month, I just checked really like 5.6. And what we're seeing when we're checking foreclosure lists, we're looking at so many different counties across about 30 Different in essays is things are doubling every single month as far as foreclosures, as far as the evictions that are actually being filed in process. So what that means for you guys, as investors in the audience of the podcast is you get your cash ready. I think the bidding wars are the are finally starting to water down. So whether it is green, or whether it is Spartanburg, you're gonna see a lot more inventory and I think you're gonna have a lot more purchasing power, especially if you're coming with some kind of liquid cash on the deal.   Okay, good to know and what areas of Spartanburg really excites you.   You know Spartanburg,   if you made your number one call for Greenville, what's your number one call for Spartanburg   easy shot right in the heart of Gaston. Gaffney is just a subset right out of Spartanburg, you know I think Spartanburg is old enough to where you can put a stake downtown, though a 30 mile radius around it, and go shopping. That's how I would look on Zillow. But Gaffney in particular, a sub market really great, right on.   And if someone is coming into the South Carolina Market, just in general, or maybe these two markets specifically, what things should they be aware of? What's kind of common practice par for the course, like as an example out in California, we have termites, and so if you see a little bit of termite damage, that's not the end of the world, you can get it fixed, depending of course, about where it is and how pervasive it is. But what are some things that people should expect to see that might be red flags in their home market, that they shouldn't be too worried about?   Let's see around here. One of the more common things that, you know, becomes concerning, I mean, it comes concerning to anybody, but it is pretty normal. It's just more foundational issues. You know, having cracks in the foundation, unfortunately, is normal. But you know, when and I don't know how it is in California, but I know the second somebody sees you know, foundation cracks and stuff like that. It's definitely it becomes something very worrying. But from our perspective, we're like, look, this is normal. You know, we there's plenty of companies don't get me wrong, there are expensive, but there are plenty of companies that can go and help remediate that. At However, even at that point, you know, it's pretty easy to gauge, especially on the inspection reports how severe it's going to be. As long as it's nothing that's like, overall, structurally is going to be concerning, then we don't see it being a big deal just because it is normal. But again, that's from our perspective, we've never seen anything major come up. And if we do, you know, we were able to read through the inspection report and say, you know, hey, maybe we should get one of these guys out here from you know, foundation companies go have a look. But outside of that, from our perspective, that's fairly normal on any house, you end up going under contract on.   Yeah, totally agree with Alex there, we get all the crazy questions to Michael. A lot from this, this Cali investors are coming in even New York people. I'd say like, every time we have a California guy or girl, which we love, y'all, and we've even had a couple of really amazing people come meet me and Alex, here in South Carolina, from the properties that we've helped acquire. So shout out to all those guys, but they're always like, doing the hurricane insurance or like Ardea tornadoes, which is a regular thing to ask the Dow none of that, you know, soccer right, super chill, you know, especially Columbia. We're landlocked, you know, Charleston, definitely, you're gonna have hurricanes. But Greenville, it's good. I think on average is like five inches of snow, which is hit or miss. So very mild climate, and even sort of changing that question of as globally for South Carolina as an outdoor investor, what I would say to make it interesting is like, follow football. It was just about, you know, football, I think is really important to the nature of these different cities. So you know, Clemson University, if you're paying attention to that college, when they were rockin, it created this huge investment opportunity like massive, I cannot express how big the in real estate investment opportunity that was created offset football program. And it's the same thing with the Charlotte Panthers. They're building a brand new practice stadium and Rock Hill, investors are looking at these different data metrics. And even in Columbia, South Carolina with the University of South Carolina's football program is I would just pay attention to those sorts of fun monikers. And that's just another lens to look at an investing and what is important to that specific Geo. And those are just one of the very relatable things here in the South Carolina Market.   Now, that makes total sense. I know one of our other coaches, Tom Schneider, he loves looking at sports teams, and where they're moving and where they're building stadiums, because that's a huge, huge indicator, like you mentioned about like the hotel, big money going into an area. That's great. That's great. I'm curious to know, from your guys's perspectives, what should buyers be aware of how can they be more competitive? And how can they work better with you all and your teams to be competitive and win offers?   Well, so I'll actually say from my perspective, just to kind of give my quick little two cents, because we do see this daily. But our biggest thing is, you know, we've got a team of people that are behind, you know, the whole coordination piece, our number one goal is to get offers out the door at this point is kind of like you got to unfortunately, this isn't like it was two years ago, maybe you can make an offer on a house. And you know, there's only two other offers on it. Now. It's like you make an offer on a house. And now there's about 20 to 30 other other offers on it when you consider in these bigger markets like Columbia, Greenville, and Spartanburg. This is where all the big institutional guys are. And so these big institutional guys are buying in cash, which means you know, if you're buying through financing, it's going to make it very, very difficult to be competitive, especially with a lot of these guys doing, you know, three day diligence, five day diligence, which is something we don't really recommend, mainly because you know, it's very difficult to even get anybody out there and then get a report back. So our biggest thing is and kind of what we we feel like we can control on our end is the amount of offers that actually do go out. So instead of just pinpointing and finding, like, Hey, this is my favorite property, I want to try to win just this one. Our goal is, look, you just got to start, you know, shooting out offers, which is what our team is capable of doing. And then just hope that one sticks in don't get me wrong, obviously, we want the offers to be calculated. But you know, if you kind of get this tunnel vision and try to purchase one house and try to win that one house, you're you're going to be disappointed. There's nothing wrong with just trying to shoot out some offers. That's what our team can do. And all you got to do is just let us know where you go. Obviously go to roofstock and just start clicking on. Hey, I want to make an offer here. I want to make an offer here. But to your point, I mean people are getting over bid. The market right now is kind of unfair just because of these institutional guys. So if there's anything we could at least just give somebody as a takeaway is just make offers. Right now it's a numbers game and hopefully one will stay Pick, but you'll be a lot more likely to stick something than you would if you just try to, you know, kind of become narrow, narrow vision and try to make one offer at a time. It's just going to make it very, very difficult which is with with the way the market is now.   Yeah, makes total sense. Well, sir, I agree. That's perfect. Yes. Awesome. Well, guys, any final thoughts, tips, tricks, tidbits for folks that are listening things you think you want people to be aware of, of South Carolina Market?   You know, I think the, you know, quick sentiment, you know, to leave with you guys out there is, you know, me and Alex have been doing this for quite some time. I know, we're, we're young in blood, but we're old and experience, we're, you know, probably pass or 25th 100, you know, transaction, we've been a part of all these have been investment base. So we're not a residential agent. We're both brokers. So we really have put this as our passion, and our our life loads to support our families. So I think being a resource for you guys, your boots on the ground, providing all of our resources, we do our own flips. And we know the headaches with the flips, you know, we've gone through several, many several Renaud teams, and we've had to create processes and procedures to make sure that we're hitting our numbers and our timelines, and all of that experience, and physical resource, all these teams will be more than happy to open up that toolbox for you guys. Same thing with lenders, you know, dealing with, you know, tons of roofstock, transactions and ELTs. And otherwise, you know, we've pinpointed the best of the best. So, that being said, you know, I'm really, really proud of the team, Alex has helped create, the toolbox that we pieced together, and the family that we met at roofstock. And we want you guys to dig in the toolbox. Come and play. And I think we do it a little different. And that's what makes us stand out. I think, not just selecting property by property like Alex's was saying, Look anywhere look on Craigslist, Zillow, you know, wherever you want to and send us five properties and we don't mind drafting up five offers going out fishing, and if one hits great if several hit, you know, buy them all or pick the best one and we can drop during due diligence. You know, the biggest thing and I will put this star on our chest is we've never lost earnest money in our entire career. And that's because that's pretty impressive. The systems and the communication, you know, that's, that's over 2000 deals we've gone we've never lost it once and I remember Alex was like, Dude, we're never going to because he's, he's come from that consultancy background he has processes and automations to protect you guys and so love to show you these features, talk shop Let's rock and roll and really appreciate everything   Right on. What's the best way for folks to get in touch with you guys?   It's gonna be acquisitions@evernest.co so evernest.co And how I would like to do it is just shoot us an email and the team will set you up a call with me and Alex if you want to just chit chat or if you just want to jump into the rain like email five properties and say hey, I want to run these through the byo P program we Russa heard your podcast It was very strange.   And and we'll hook you up man this is like getting smarter. So that's a you know that's a sale how easy it is and we'd love to show you South Carolina. Another quick thing as you know, me and Alex do this across about probably like 10 states now you know we're from Texas, to Florida and about the southeast coastline. And I still very much like South Carolina and the data shows it has a lot of fruit.

This episode carries content warnings for human sacrifice, knives, explosions, memory loss, death. When Hazard entered our story, they may have seemed like someone defined by what was missing. But in truth, they had something that the members of the Blackwick Group never did: A clear and obvious objective. Now, standing on the other side of vengeance, they have the freedom (and the burden) of deciding what comes next.   This week on Sangfielle: Six Travelers: Hazard   The Almanac of the Heartland Rider Places Zevunzolia: Who the hell knows. A miraculous city waiting to be built? A utopian dimension adjacent our own? "The Seventh Sun Itself," I think I heard one of those fools call it. All I know is, however prime and pristine it is in promise, the pricetag keeps going conveniently unmentioned... Facts and Figures The Sunken Empress Altapasqua (she/her): Around fifty years after the panic set in, Altapasqua told her people she would ride across this cursed land and purge it of its disease and danger. She only made it about three fourths of the way. And well, it's as expected. She was down there ever since.  Gandy Dancers: The strange little creatures that maintain the trains. The Knights of Virtue, fka The Toll Collectors: It is fair to say that this group is still made up of the devil Agdeline (she/her), drakkan Ettel (he/him), and human Larch (he/him), but it isn't right to simply call them a "trio" anymore. The former miners-turned-bandits-turned-thieves-turned-bodyguards have come into the employ of Queen Virtue, and have revealed their true nature: Once per month, three more of them appear from the depths of the Blackwick Mines, and soon join with the others in search of and profit and adventure.  Emma Serchilde (she/her): Once, Emma was known in Sapodilla as one of the most successful investigators of the Glim Macula. A brutal interrogator and competent captain, Emma was nevertheless more loyal to herself than to the Macula. When Virtue became the city's new queen, Emma was quick to sell out her allies and devote herself to the city's newest power. Calen fel Dynestia (he/him): Heir to a grim line, Calen has joined the Shape Knights in an effort to rehabilitate the fel Dynestia name. Eyes sunken, pasty purple face covered with stubble, and all the highest fashion of Sapodilla circa twenty years ago. Betrayed his lover, Fezh,  Fezh (they/them): Soft for a Shape Knight. Strong for a Shape Knight. The closest there was to everyone in Bell Metal, but Calen most of all. Now lives as the furious engine, Red Zephyr. Uno Riscano (he/him): The so-called “Count of Cards,” this devil was the leader of one of the “six suits” that make up the Wrights of the Seventh Sun. Now headless. Organizations Glim Macula: Until earlier this year, Sapodilla was marked by its white coated witch hunters, who terrorized the city's margins and invented new boogeymen when they could not find the ones they were certain to live in the shadows. Under Queen Virtue, they've been scattered to the wind.  The Caravan of the Coin:  Cursed by Ribbadon, Frog God of Wealth, these traveling merchant-clerics never arrive at a destination carrying what they expect.   Wrights of the Seventh Sun: A secret society dedicated to the construction of Zevunzolia, whatever the cost. Their motivations are many: Some believe that the Devils ought to have continued climbing whent hey escaped hell, that this was not the paradise earned. Others believe that Zevunzolia is telos of telos, the end-cause of all end-causes, and thus will inevitably bring itself into being. And given that, to do anything but aid it is to risk exclusion from it, or worse.  Hosted by Austin Walker (@austin_walker) Featuring Sylvi Clare (@sylvibullet) Produced by Ali Acampora (@ali_west) Music by Jack de Quidt (available on bandcamp) Text by Austin Walker Cover Art by Craig Sheldon (@shoddyrobot)

In this episode of Principles with Cory and Logan it is part 1 of our book series on the book "The Traveler's Gift" by Andy Andrews. In this discussion we see the 1st decision for success is: THE BUCK STOPS HERE! It is the decision to take personal responsibility. It's choosing that from "this moment forward I will take personal responsibility for my past. I understand that the beginning of wisdom is to accept responsibility for my own problems and that by accepting responsibility for my past, I free myself to move into bigger, brighter future of my own choosing" 3 phrases that we as leaders no longer get to use: -Because I say so. -Do as I say not as I do. -Why Me? -According to Acts 17 you my friend were made for such a time as this.

There is very little that the regions of the Universe can agree upon. The Northern Wilds has their monster-hunting furor, the Western Wastes are known for their scholars and scientists, and in the Southern Frosts survival against the elements dominates daily life. But in all three regions of the Universe, children are taught the same lesson: do not enter the Wayward East, for that way lies madness.But every region has its rebels. So here they stand, at the Eastern gates -- two Northerners, two Westerners, and a Southerner -- prepared to venture into madness themselves.The truth is worth a little madness, after all. Unfortunately, it won't be a little madness meeting them out there in the Mirrored Plains; it will be quite a lot.Welcome to the Penumbra, dear Traveler.

Everglades National Park very easily can be viewed as the poster child for invasive species. It's infested with non-native Burmese pythons, Argentine black and white tegus are making inroads, there is invasive vegetation like Melaleuca and Brazilian pepper, and nonnative fish are making their way into the park's ecosystems. Kurt Repanshek, editor of the National Parks Traveler, recently had a chance to sit down with Pedro Ramos, superintendent of Everglades National Park, to discuss the battles against these invasive species and look ahead to the park's 75th birthday this fall.

This episode carries content warnings for blood, memory loss, illusory reality, discussion of possible hallucination. You might wonder where the rest of the erstwhile Blackwick Group might be headed after their fracture in Blackwick. But deep down inside, you probably know exactly where Lye Lychen is headed, don't you? That man has unfinished business, and he is nothing if not someone committed to getting straight to the task at hand.   This week on Sangfielle: Six Travelers: Lyke   The Almanac of the Heartland Rider Places Blackwick County: From the mines to the lake, the hills to the flats, the town once called Eastern Folly has felt a little more expansive now that it's out of the hard grip of the old curse. It's people aren't perfect, but they've made it through some dark times, and that's more than most can say. Sapodilla: One of, if not the, largest city inside of the walls of Concentus. Sapodilla rests on the western shore of the vast lake that takes up much of southeastern Sangfielle. Not too much is known about how things are inside of its gates since Queen Virtue rolled into town. Marrowcreek: Quite a ways west of Blackwick, the maps say there is a town called Marrowcreek. Never been myself, but I've heard about it (often in the sort of hypotheticals people pose to you to “make conversations” at parties.) Lye Lychen, Chine, and Hazard visited it (or a Course-built facsimile) a few months back, when they hopped off the Jade Moon. Bluerock Quarry: Bluestone is what you might guess from the name, a quarry for digging up stones of various qualities and makes, but all of which is blue in nature. While slate and limestone and granite all serve their ends, the real find is welkin, a stone as light as air but tough as the hardest metal. Now who could be on the lookout for something like that? Unschola Republica, formerly the Third Canton (oon-skoh-la): For a millenia, the alchemists, mage-practitioners, and cryptotheological scholars of the Third Canton complained in secret about the leash kept on them by Aldomina's distant leaders. They've since slipped that leash, and whether that's for better or worse, time will tell. Sangfielle, the Heartland: Once, it was a breadbasket for the whole Dominion, now this is territory haunted twice: first by a bloody, buried past, and second by an uncanny, indifferent future. Facts and Figures Fendleton the Lake Skeletons: A boisterous skeleton that Lyke once met on the way to Last Rest (and Bell Metal Station beyond that). Loyal to Altapasqua? Or… loyal to unloyalty? Hard to pin down.  Dayward yon Vantzon-Estonbergh aka Dayward YVE (he/him): The moneyed scion of a minor Aldominan dynasty, Dayward YVE has traveled to the Heartland as both eager-apologist and curious explorer. Sensing opportunity, he settled in Blackwick County and has used it as a staging ground for an ever-growing industrial empire.   Uno Riscano (he/him): The so-called “Count of Cards,” this devil was the leader of one of the “six suits” that make up the Wrights of the Seventh Sun. Now headless. Aterika'Kaal (it/its): An ambivalent and ancient spirit. Offers the sweet smell and sublime beauty of roses and the sturdy foundation of a root structure. In exchange: Feed it. Karston Leberge (he/him): Sergeant of Bread inside of the Wrights of the Seventh Sun, Karston runs operations at the Bluerock Quarry. Alaway (currently he/him, varies historically): Was last seen as the waxy, vampiric minister of Yellowfield named Regan, whose generations-long study of technology led him to dream of (and work towards creating) "The City of Lights," a place of flameless fire, energetic implements, and the safety and freedom to live as one wants. Now, having somehow returned to the form that the Blackwick Group first met him as, he threatens to steal the very lifeblood of Blackwick itself. Organizations The Boundless Conclave: Less of an individual church, more of an association between hundreds of independent faiths. Small sects, nearly forgotten cults, and unjealous gods make up this vast pantheon.  Wrights of the Seventh Sun: A secret society dedicated to the construction of Zevunzolia, whatever the cost. Their motivations are many: Some believe that the Devils ought to have continued climbing whent hey escaped hell, that this was not the paradise earned. Otherse believe that Zevunzolia is telos of telos, the end-cause of all end-causes, and thus will inevitably bring itself into being. And given that, to do anything but aid it is to risk exclusion from it, or worse.  Hosted by Austin Walker (@austin_walker) Featuring Keith J Carberry (@keithjcarberry) Produced by Ali Acampora Music by Jack de Quidt (available on bandcamp) Text by Austin Walker Cover Art by Craig Sheldon (@shoddyrobot) You can purchase Ichor-Drowned at https://sillionl.itch.io/ichor-drowned You can purchase Anamnesis at https://blinkingbirchgames.itch.io/anamnesis

This episode carries content warnings for blood, illusory reality, discussion of possible hallucination. We're nearly at the end now, but there is nevertheless some way to go still. Six ways, in fact. First: the Keen Marn Ancura heads north along with the shape knight Bucho and a number of refugees who have finally, truly had enough of Blackwick and its curses.  This week on Sangfielle: Six Travelers: Marn The Almanac of the Heartland Rider Places Blackwick County: From the mines to the lake, the hills to the flats, the town once called Eastern Folly has felt a little more expansive now that it's out of the hard grip of the old curse. It's people aren't perfect, but they've made it through some dark times, and that's more than most can say. Sangfielle, the Heartland: Once, it was a breadbasket for the whole Dominion, now this is territory haunted twice: first by a bloody, buried past, and second by an uncanny, indifferent future. Zevunzolia: Who the hell knows. A miraculous city waiting to be built? A utopian dimension adjacent our own? "The Seventh Sun Itself," I think I heard one of those fools call it. All I know is, however prime and pristine it is in promise, the pricetag keeps going conveniently unmentioned... Facts and Figures Dyre Ode (he/they): When an agent of the almanac pressed this mysterious, masked figure for more information about him, they only repeated their name, as if to ensure we'd print it right, adding “Dyre with Y but Ode as you'd like, a poem said in praise or a debt gone unpaid. It bothers me little, how you spell that name.” Ana Berylia (she/her): Dayward YVE's maid, a somewhat overwhelmed Carpana who has not adjusted to life in the Heartland. Her body is covered in brown/black hair with little streaks of grey at her temples. Mostly seen in uniform, a grey dress with white apron. Mr. Kenson (he/him): Big Horn Ram Kaprak. White fur with brown and black spots. Personal valet. Copper wireframe glasses. Proper black suit. Organizations The Telluricist Union: Made up by a mix of peoples driven to the hills by Aldomina, this group of knife sharpeners, herbalists, geologists, and all around investigators have made it their job to keep their old wisdom and see it used to help those in need. The best among them are called Keen. Sisters of the Mother-Beast: A dedicated priory of worshippers, living in an eternal hymn, worshiping a god long dead. The Shape Knights: It took people with clear minds, great ingenuity, and implacable spirit to face down and defeat one of the living trains of Sangfielle. In the time since, they've crafted armor from their slain foe, and with that have come to be experts of all things train. They herd, they breach, they redirect. But they haven't yet killed a second. The Carnival of Moted Light: It announces itself with wind and furious sound, an invitation to partake in joys and curiosities. You may not leave. Not yet. Not until it's over. Unless, of course, you'd like to stay forever. Wrights of the Seventh Sun: A secret society dedicated to the construction of Zevunzolia, whatever the cost. Their motivations are many: Some believe that the Devils ought to have continued climbing whent hey escaped hell, that this was not the paradise earned. Otherse believe that Zevunzolia is telos of telos, the end-cause of all end-causes, and thus will inevitably bring itself into being.
