It may be time to finally change channels, or — if we really want better reception and perception — to trade in that old analogue transmitter and receiver for the best, state-of-the-art technology in the universe.We are referring, by analogy, to the most advanced radio set ever created: the human mind and network of finer, higher faculties — capable of tuning into any frequency, from humanmade, to planetary, to the deepest reaches of the cosmos. Its potential is vast and vital to our ongoing evolution and future.Much of our precious daily life is likely spent inside a narrow band of energy, often worrying about relationships, career or cultural and ecological crises. With awareness and training, it's possible to tune sensitive inner technology to transmit and receive on universal frequencies natural to the human design. It's activating a higher human operating system.It's also a development journey enhanced and quickened by our companions and communities. Mutual respect and trust can help heal pain and trauma, as we become the signal that enables the emergence of new possibility in one another, evolving together.We explore the realms of mutual transformation and the amazing human radio set in the latest of our Portalsseries Evolving Together, with Aviv Shahar and longtime Portalsfriends Nigel Geeves and Well. TWEETABLE QUOTES “One of the things I do in my development work with myself is I talk to myself. Why would you talk to yourself? We live in a time where people often seek to find a new feeling and a new experience as the first move they make. In my journey, I've discovered that actually you want to introduce a new frame of mind, a new way of thinking, and that then enables you to heal, transmogrify, metabolize, sublimate, and actually access new feelings and new experience.” (Aviv) “I think what you're talking about here is beginning to open up the profound realization that yes, we are universal beings. And, therefore, it's possible for us to develop a higher operating system, which literally operates at universal level as we live upon the planet. And via that higher operating system we can do something about the conditioning that's happened to the soul.” (Well) RESOURCES MENTIONED Portals of Perception WebsiteAviv's LinkedIn Aviv's TwitterAviv's WebsiteEvolving Together #4 - The Human Radio Set

Key Takeaways:-Inserting age into the conversation of success is an excuse.-Mistakes and struggles will happen regardless of age. -It's never too soon and it's never too late.Tweetable Quotes:"One of the best things about life is that it will always present choices to us." -Stacey O'Byrne"When you feel your knowledge is questioned, you can fall into self-doubt. Regardless of your age, that struggle is the same." -Kiana Langfeldt "You're never too young or too old. It's never too soon and it's never too late." -Stacey O'Byrne"I used to wonder why I was drawn to friendships with older people. I would chalk it up to being an 'old soul'... but I came to realize it wasn't about age, I was drawn to people who wanted the same things I want." -Kiana LangfeldtResources:Instagram: @pivotpointadvantageFree Strategy Session: text Success to 646.495.9867Schedule a 15 minute call with Stacey: http://pivotpointadvantage.com/talktostaceyIf you're ready to take yourself and your business to the next level and are interested in a coaching program that will get you there check out: http://pivotpointadvantage.com/iwantsuccess Join an interactive environment to help you build the success you've always wanted with other like-minded, success-driven entrepreneurs, business owners, and sales professionals: https://facebook.com/groups/sellwithoutselling

Sometimes it takes courage to heal. It's usually easy to see, feel, and know the pain and trauma from our own lives, our communities, and the cultural upheavals upending many parts of our world. Being able to perceive and register hurt or isolation and loneliness doesn't necessarily make the path to healing and wholeness any more visible, or smooth.How do we find and feel the inner strength to take the first step? One of the paths to healing and transformation begins in the special ecology or space that is created between people who share respect and value for what each life represents. It can be a simple conversation that brings a feeling of safety and trust — a special warmth that begins to melt whatever may be blocking us from connecting with who we really are and can be.A real mutuality not only dissolves the barriers between us, but also enables a shared support and elevation that can reveal the path to deeper emotional and mental healing. In the process, reconnecting us to a natural inner courage and resiliency that carries us forward.In this conversation, we explore further into the healing possibility enabled by a real human mutuality. Aviv Shahar is joined again by Alexander Love, acupuncturist, life coach, and cranial-sacral therapist, who took part in this conversation on approaches to healing. They are joined this time by Veronica Olalla Love, ontological coaching professional and CEO of the Newfield Network.Among their insights:We are not alone, even though we sense despair and loneliness at times. We can reactivate our connection with all dimensions of life, which modern technology can cause to recede and seem far away.We come together and learn both as an individual and a collective. In these curated spaces we invite a depth, safety, and love that don't just reveal personal pain, but show what is possible to do together.The unshakable commitment we're describing is not a mental or emotional muscle; it's a cellular reorientation of the living being that we are. It's a radical anchoring of the heart.The new human discovery emerging is the profound value in what is described as listening priests, the people that create the ecology and enable others to unfold the revelation they couldn't access in themselves before.What's required for a collective to be strong enough to hold shadows and darkness in a way that won't wobble or shake the space, so the darkness can arise and be safely explored?Seeing the different worlds we create in a group journey can help us deeply anchor, in our body, in our cells, what is actually possible; the level of trust people can have with each other is exquisite and profound.When you no longer shun, suppress, or pull outside of yourself the parts you dislike in favor of the parts you like, it becomes a fuller integration of the inner family; you are more relaxed and more yourself.This conversation is part of the continuing Portals discovery into what is emerging on the frontiers of human experience in this time of profound change.

And that something else is some kind of presence, some kind of unbroken radiance or dimension of being that allows us to know, beyond conceptual knowing, that it's okay to feel, that it's okay to explore little by little is probably what I might suggest little by little, opening our hearts to allow in just a little bit more of the whole and that includes the access to ecstasy, and it also includes the horrors. And all that it requires is a nervous system that's able to have some degree of regulation as these things stream in, because if we're honest, they are quite intense in all their faces.” (Alexander)“The essential element I'm experiencing in both of you and what you're describing, is a particular kind of courage. Because there is an invitation you're making to become more spacious, to unravel or bring to life what has been frozen and potentially grow the filaments of possibility beyond that. (Aviv)“The new, or the novel, or breaking patterns can seem dangerous. So there's a sense of, is this actually dangerous? And if so, how? Or is it simply a signal that this is actually new and I'm in the unknown? My sense is that these times require us to be quite a bit in the unknown. And so as we cultivate our capacity to be in the liminal space or in the uncertainty, the ambiguity, the nebulous zones, that is a huge learning. (Veronica)“As we do this process together there can be a recognition that not only am I doing an individual learning, but we're doing a collective learning, and that there's something that we are together that's growing up as a result of these curated spaces - that invites depth, that invites safety, that invites love. And so it doesn't only reveal my personal pain, my personal yearning - that's important - but it also creates an environment where who we are as people, what is possible for us to do together, just that is a beacon of light, a beacon of hope.” (Alexander) RESOURCES MENTIONED Portals of Perception WebsiteAviv's LinkedIn Aviv's TwitterAviv's WebsiteWhat is Healing? #2 - A New Togethering

How is the rise of AI and advanced technology reshaping the landscape of accounting? In this episode, Damien and Penny sit down with Jody Padar. Sharing her journey, Jody detailed her transition from joining her father's traditional firm to establishing her brand, "the Radical CPA", leveraging cutting-edge tech. She talks about April, an AI-powered tax software aiming to streamline the tax process by melding human expertise with AI's efficiency. While technology, especially AI, may seem intimidating, it stands as an aid rather than a threat. Professionals are encouraged to view AI as a tool for efficiency, much like how marketers have adapted to social media. Tune into this episode to uncover the nuances of AI in accounting and grasp the transformative impact of technology on modern accounting practices.[00:00 - 08:37] The Transitioning from Traditional to Cloud-based AccountingAccounting and bookkeeping professionals need to build practices with intention. This means taking a proactive approach to avoid common pitfalls and mistakes in the industry.Jodie shares her experience and early adaptation to technological shifts. Though initially seen as 'radical', her proactive embrace of cloud technology paved the way for her firm's success and influenced the broader accounting industry.[08:38 - 19:56] How April is Revolutionizing the Landscape of Tax FilingJody talks about how April represents the shift towards integrating AI in tax filing, making the process more efficient.April is primarily aimed at consumers but does so through a B2B2C model, highlighting the changing paradigms in software distribution.The use of AI allows GetApril to swiftly adapt to tax law changes, a vital aspect in the fast-paced tax environment.By automating mundane tasks, GetApril gives CPAs the chance to focus on providing more valuable advisory services to clients.[19:57 - 29:29] How is AI will Impact the Traditional Roles and Responsibilities of CPAsAI should be seen as an enabler, assisting in making tasks more efficient, not as a replacement for human jobs.Technology expenses should be seen as operational necessities, aligning them with labor costs for more effective financial management.Embracing AI can address the existing shortage in the accounting industry, offering solutions to high work demands.Firms have a choice in how they want to evolve – they can grow extensively or intensively.[29:30 - 40:52] How is AI will Impact the Traditional Roles and Responsibilities of CPAsHow middle managers justify productivity and efficiency over billable hoursTechnology in accounting is not about reducing billable hours but increasing overall efficiency and client reach.Successful adaptation to technological advances requires a shift in mindset, not necessarily in age.Humanizing the tax preparation process by using relatable language can enhance client engagement.The value of a CPA is not just in tax prep but also in advisory roles that tech cannot replace.Closing up!

The popular concept of emotional intelligence only begins to scratch the surface of understanding the true nature and power of the human emotion. Emotions can uplift and heal and transform a life or relationship. They can also inflict and become self-destructive; lead us to either our salvation or downfall. Some people believe the emotion plays a central role in human evolution. Why is an energy so powerful and personal often so unpredictable and seemingly hard to manage? A clue is in the word: “emotion” comes from a Latin derivative meaning “energy in motion”. Emotion isn't static; it creates energetic pathways connecting people with themselves, with one another, with their communities, and the universe. The real emotion problem is not emotion itself; it's how we use the most powerful energy naturally generated by our human design. In this new episode of “Current Openings: What the World Doesn't Quite Get Yet”, Aviv Sha har and David Price Francis delve deeper into the nature, mystery, and larger potential of human emotions. The conversation adds a new chapter to the unfolding story of the human predicament.Among their insights:A species guarantees its continuance more through tribal arrangements than just individual DNA. It's the logic of why human emotions are a self - preservation technology.The emotion that evolved in humans engenders the capacity to care, share, and bond — the qualities that nudge and lead us to collaborate and work together.There are dimensions in the universe that need higher human sensitivity and resonance. It's logical the universe would support the emergence of compassionate life that's more like itself than not.Summoning the emotion is engaging the most powerful energy we have access to. It can be overwhelming if not used wisely. The balance is found in living in harmony with the emotion.We're not victims of our emotions; we can elevate our understanding and use the emotions as objects of purpose inside the theater of our experience.Emotional energy can be very potent healing; seeking with our minds to harness the heart-centered energy and move together to a particular purpose, like healing another person.This conversation builds on concepts and insights first explored in The Energy Problem. It is part of the continuing Portals discovery into what is emerging on the frontiers of human experience in this time of profound change.

There are three major expressions: energy in, energy out, and we're always in process. So those are the three things I look at in us: we have mental energy; we have emotional energy, whatever that is, and we're going to get into it; and we have physical energy, which is inside the physical energy.” (David)“It's so when there's an empathy flow, there's very much that connection between the two people between whom the energy is flowing, and there's a very interesting difference there between the person whose energy primarily flows about themselves for themselves, which is more where we get these expressions like narcissistic c rage or narcissistic display, and so they're still emotions, but the emotions stay inside that person's field and are held for them, and this is where you get the person who's able to act emotionally.” (David) “So a compass is something that goes 360 degrees. So it's almost like you take the compass and you have your center point, and you can draw a circle, and the idea of real compassion is that it doesn't just go to a person who's your friend, or it doesn't go to a particular cause. But to release suffering in the world, it takes a 360-degree approach, like the sun shining on everybody at once. So that, to me, is very much the seat of that devotional practice, and we're both wearing what appears to be what looks like regulation blue.” (David) “So you can take your emotional fuel and burn it up very rapidly with a bout of hot anger, you can be in the car, and someone comes past you, and you start yelling, and you go into road rage. But then, is that the best use of that fuel? And I think that's a kind of wisdom about the person, so I have the right to it. Well, yes, you do. You have the right to eat coal. You have the right to do many things. With that permission, you can go for it. But just have that pause. Is it really the best thing to do for your life? Or is there a better way to use it?” (David) RESOURCES MENTIONED Portals of Perception WebsiteAviv's LinkedIn Aviv's TwitterAviv's WebsiteEnergy Worlds

In this episode of The Power Producers Podcast, David Carothers and co-host Kyle Houck discuss the different generations of insurance buyers and share how to effectively communicate and sell to each generation.  Episode Highlights: David mentions that generational differences in the insurance industry are often overlooked, but understanding and adapting to the needs of each generation can improve sales. (2:45) David explains the traits of the Silent Generation (1928-1945): trust in institutions, in-person interactions, risk aversion due to history, and value in low-deductible, cautious insurance. (6:33) David shares how Baby Boomers (1946-1964) prioritize security and loyalty to insurers but are skeptical of digital tools. (11:53) David mentions that Generation X (1965-1980) values both digital convenience and personal interaction, emphasizing family-focused insurance. (14:12) David discusses Millennials (1981-1996) prioritizing digital management, seeking alternatives, valuing experiences, and proactive health measures. (16:25) David shares about Gen Z's (1997-2012) focus on seamless online experiences, personalized insurance, and ethical companies, crucial in the gig economy. (22:02) David and Kyle discuss the importance of respecting and valuing the perspectives of older generations, and the need for sales professionals to adapt and stay ahead of changing trends in the industry. (25:11) Tweetable Quotes: “One of the things I think's interesting right now, with being in our industry is just the general number of people that are from different generations, like we're dealing with multiple generations of insurance buyers.” - David Carothers “All we're doing is fine tuning stuff that's pretty much already been invented. Yes, we're inventing new products. But the majority of those ideas are spawned from something else that already exists. I think that generation invented products to meet a need, and that's a big difference. They're inventing things to meet a need. We're inventing things for convenience.” - David Carothers “I think, obviously it's only going to keep changing so people have to get ahead of it and stay in tune with what's going on and not be reactionary as I think this industry has been for basically, its entire existence.” - Kyle Houck Resources Mentioned: David Carothers LinkedIn Kyle Houck LinkedIn Florida Risk Partners The Extra 2 Minutes

In today's episode of the “Inside the Plan with the 401(k) Brothers”, host Bill Bush and Andy Bush, advisors at Horizon Financial Group take a look at the anatomy of a Recession, define what it is, what causes it and what are some of the traits around it.     Episode Highlights 01:30 – Recessions are not identified until they have passed and they've started to pass and leave. So it's kind of a look back to see when, and what causes the recession. 03:15 - Recessions are not rare they can occur several times during your lifetime. 05:05 – As companies maximize things, employment improves, and so employment has been pretty darn good during the pandemic. 07:30 - Interest rates increase and so you see contraction on the credit side of things. 09:55 - When it comes to the market, views of the economic activity expansions and contractions are important because it affects your portfolio. 11:15 – One of the indicators of recession is unemployment. When unemployment rises, it can lead to a decline in consumption, people going out, buying things, and then that affects the business output. 12:30 - Another leading indicator of a recession is Housing depending on their clients. Housing stocks are growing but they're not growing at a bigger rate than they used to. 14:30 – In case of uncertainties the first thing is that these things happen, so recognize that throughout your life as it is part of life. 16:40 – Inside the 401k retirement plans they tell investors to look at rebalancing their portfolio, or perhaps increase their contribution.       Three Key Points The recession is when you see a declining gross domestic product over a period of a couple of quarters. When people lose their jobs, they're not spending as much, so then you start to see the revenues and earnings of companies coming down. There is a significant decline in economic activity that is spread out across the economy lasting more than a few months, and when you see the GDP drop real income, employment, industrial production, etc. So the most recent grant that came out on inflation was really some areas came down, but some of the more critical areas like food, that everybody needs, we're going up. It's good because typically, as profit margins peak and companies are not making as much profit, they start to in the very layman's sense trim the fat. They start to let some folks go who are not necessary or critical, and hence they lose their jobs. So what happens when the recession hits low economic activity? You start to see the slowdown and people start losing their jobs. When you look at the consumer's confidence in the economy when that bottoms out, there's a recession. Unemployment was about a little over five months ahead of a recession. So far, unemployment is at its nearly 50-year low. So on consumer confidence, it's really about three months before a recession, there has been an instance in the past where it had a double bottom so that could be something that we encounter this year.       Tweetable Quotes “One of the words we've heard a lot about is uncertain and recession.” – Bill Bush “So, we've already seen a couple of quarters of negative GDP.” - Bill Bush “The pandemic was a kind of a rare type of situation and in that, everything was halted in the sense for a good while.” – Andy Bush “So you start to see the labor market, start to tighten up, and then central bank policy starts to tighten too.” – Andy Bush “You start to see expansion GDP growth is positive so that gross domestic product is positive.” - Andy Bush “The leading Economic Index is also there when it's declined at least 1% from the previous year, about three and a half months later you start to see a potential of a recession.” - Andy Bush “Let's stay calm, especially if you're fairly young and have a long career ahead, you got to think of the long-term perspective.” – Bill Bush “Recessions are natural they happen and they happen every business cycle.” - Bill Bush “If you have some worries and fears, we always say worry with us, don't worry alone.” – Andy Bush     Resources Mentioned Horizon Financial Group: Website Contact Information:  Bill Bush          Andy Bush The Runway Decade: Website Podcast Editing

EV electric vehicle manufacturing is pretty hot, but who knows 10 years, 15 years from now might be different.   [12:01 - 17:59] How to Sell a Bed and Breakfast that's Already a Short-Term Rental How to sell a property, focusing on the idea of converting it into a short-term rental.

Those aiming for a worker that can never afford it, but doesn't mean that we're gonna take advantage of them, but we are trying to create a clean, safe, and affordable environment for them while we're still able to providing a good return for our investor as a partner.  [00:00:33] Sam WIlson: Hendra Tambunan has been involved in multiple multifamily projects with over 1500 doors as both a general and a limited partner. Additionally, he's involved in commercial grade shortterm rentals and he also leads the San Francisco chapter of multifamily and more Hendra. Welcome to the show. Thank you for having you Sam. Hey, the pleasure's mine Hendra. There are three questions. I ask every guest who comes in the show in 90 seconds, or last, can you tell me, where did you start? Where are you now? And how did you get.  [00:00:58] Hendra Tambunan: Well, for me, I started with like, everybody else started with single family home start seeing and realizing it's not scalable fast enough. Start looking into things to ways to scale up and always going back to commercial motel family, because that's a part of the force appreciation that I can go deeper later on. But that's what my main focus right now is basically focusing on. Commercial great multifamily. And in terms of the scaling up, well, it's a team sport. Well, the, you basically team up with people and that's how you scale up and that's make you scale up a lot faster in this kind of asset class.  [00:01:35] Sam WIlson: How long ago did you make, cuz I know, I think at one point you were investing in single family. Wh when did you make that switch from single to multifamily? That  [00:01:43] Hendra Tambunan: was like a three years ago. Okay.  [00:01:46] Sam WIlson: Yep. All right. And it's been a wild ride in multifamily, these last these last three years, we've seen incredible price appreciation. We've seen incredible rent growth. I mean, how are you guys finding opportunity in the midst of a very competitive environment?  [00:02:02] Hendra Tambunan: So in that kind of market cycle, that says a lot of thing that people don't realize that market SI we are in a different micro cycle. Given time of the year. You gotta employ a different strategy for me. I live in California. There's no way for me to find a deals. However, I have a lot of capital through my network. That's how I partner up with operator and that's how we find and partner up and then take down larger property that. And that's how we able to scale up going back again, a team up and working together.  [00:02:37] Sam WIlson: That's really interesting. So are you working with multiple operators in multiple markets?  [00:02:45] Hendra Tambunan: Not just any part, any market. The way I started, I pick one market that I know that is gonna be growing because of the fundamental of the population growth, job growth, multiple industries, and there's enough demand in that market. That's how I pick a market to begin with and work with operator over there. That's pretty stable and really ready to take it. That's how I able to get into Dallas corporate market three years ago.  [00:03:14] Sam WIlson: How so? So let's think about some really tactical steps someone could take if they wanted to follow in your footsteps. You tell me this, Hey, find a market that has the right demand features that has the right demographics that you want in. It has the right job growth, population growth, all those things. What's someone's next step. If they wanna break into a new market, how would you recommend someone going about finding and locating that operator partner?  [00:03:40] Hendra Tambunan: Yeah. Well, I do believe with the intentional relationship. Obviously a lot of people like networking and a lot of people, especially when they started in commercial multifamily space, they tend to attend every single meet up every single networking, zoom, everything like that. That's great. But be intentional though. Do your homework, what are you looking for? What kind of customer base for your multifamily investment gonna look. Because as that not every multifamily is created equally. Are you aiming for a blue collar worker? Are you looking for a lap star, renter be intentional? What you are aiming for now, if I'm saying that I'm looking for a lap star renter, but somewhere in the suburb of Montana, it will never gonna be working out because they don't really have anyone like. But if you do your homework, you understand what you're looking for during the networking meeting, you state your intention, like, Hey, I'm looking for an operator in such and such market. That's focusing in this kind of customer base. Then you are most likely someone you met not doing it, but they might know someone who might be doing it. That's how you create that relationship established over. Right,  [00:04:55] Sam WIlson: right. Yeah. I mean, cuz that's that's it is outta the gate, is it is networking, but then defining the criteria of what it is you're looking for, which brings yet the next question, which is how do we define that criteria? What did you do?  [00:05:08] Hendra Tambunan: Well, for me, I'm looking for my mission and when I invest in multifamily is always gonna be creating a clean and safe environment and affordable. Those aiming for a worker that can never afford it, but doesn't mean that we're gonna take advantage of them, but we are trying to create a clean, safe, and affordable environment for them while we're still able to providing a good return for our investor as a partner. So if you see it, this will be create like a win-win win solution for everyone. That's the intention of when I jump into commercial multifamily space. So with that kinda understanding, I know that I'm not gonna looking for like, Property in San Francisco or LA, because that's a little bit different market, but I'm looking for a bread and butter where there's a manufacturing heavy industry that people can never really, really afford a house, but they still can be provided with those quality of living. So that's kind of the market that I'm looking for. It could be the Sunbelt belt could be in the suburb, the Sunbelt belts, and then also looking for the population growth and job growth. Some people looking for MSA, like maybe like 400,000 and above or 250,000 above, that's something that you have to do your homework on because everybody criteria is gonna be different. And then looking in the sector of the industry that you're of your target market too. It's not gonna be one size fits all. Some area may be focusing on farming. Some area may be focused on manufacturing and again, that's part of the homework that you have to do. How stable is that industry? Cause like, just like, market cycle that we are in, everything is cyclical. Right now, EV electronic electric vehicles manufacturing is pretty hot, but who knows like 10 years, 15 years from now. Right. But farming for me is pretty stable. Right. But again, farming's also come with some, cycles too that who knows. So maybe lab food being created, like beyond meats or something like that down the road. I don't know. Right. But again, you gotta be, forward looking in some of industry that you're really focusing on.  [00:07:15] Sam WIlson: Yeah, absolutely. Absolutely. Tell me this. I know you and I talked about this a little bit off air. You guys are doing something outside of the syndication model. What are you guys currently doing? I know you're moving into markets. You're selecting your operators. You're involved in multifamily, but you're structuring the deals a little bit differently. What are you guys doing?  [00:07:34] Hendra Tambunan: well, my, my main focus has been shifting a little bit. I'm still doing some syndication, but also start shifting into joint venture joint ventures, little rather than like syndication, it's still taking on commercial multifamily but in the case like joint venture, you, everybody is participant is an active participant in the deals rather than just like passive and active, like typical syndication does. So in this case there's some opportunities in this current market cycle, given that higher interest rates, still that for smaller property that we can take it down. And the idea is just like everybody just chip in. And then that way that we can keep the property for a longer term. That's the only intention, rather than like looking for 5, 6, 7 years. Now, we are planning to keep it for a longer time and then eventually passing it to our next generat. Which is our kit. So that's the only reason that we, we do it that way rather than a syndication model.  [00:08:31] Sam WIlson: So I guess that requires, I would think, one high net worth investors, that can bring the capital to the table. Is there a deal size that you're working with that fits your buy box for a joint venture right now?  [00:08:45] Hendra Tambunan: That's correct. Yeah. There's gonna be some high network that could be acting. Like I said, KP there's also obviously. All the, your partners who dealt with the, in the syndication previously, they get some extra equity that they can put in together. So thing about it, look is shifting it from syndication, which is considered like a transactional. Now you moving it for interim, like the form of equity that you keep doing it, and then you can do cash refi at the property value grows. Right. And, but you keep the property for the, in meanwhile, up to that, do you guys  [00:09:17] Sam WIlson: structure the, Can find you can find the right word, but do you guys do this with a waterfall? Do you guys set it up like a typical preferred return with a 70, 30 split? Like, or is there are the terms of the deal very different with a joint venture?  [00:09:31] Hendra Tambunan: Typically there's gonna be some split for those who are gonna be in the beginning. Who's helping with the bringing the deals, but the rest is just gonna be Perada based on the equity that you put in. Got it.  [00:09:46] Sam WIlson: Got it. That's really interesting. Why did you guys decide to go to that model as opposed to syndications?  [00:09:53] Hendra Tambunan: Well, there's some opportunity there in the market right now, given the higher interest rate, they're still gonna be mid-size units that still able to give the return that you're looking for over a long. So for us that's what we are liking. And then plus we also like to keep it for a longer term that pass it to the next generation. Right? It's not the intention. Like it's not just like, Hey, a hundred unit, 200 units. It sounds good. But for me, you gotta balance that in portfolio, rather than like transactional. You also wanna keep the equity to grow. That's kind of, again, it's like rebalancing the portfolio. That's the intention. Got it.  [00:10:32] Sam WIlson: So, so more or less, this is for you guys an opportunity to say, Hey, look, we're not gonna do the typical five to seven year disposition. I wanna buy this, I wanna hold it. And so you have found some other like-minded investors that said, Hey, you know what? We wanna just hold this in perpetuity or as long as it makes sense, there's no point in, the proverbial, selling the milk cow. No point in doing that. So let's all just go in with a higher check amount per investor. You probably have fewer investors, I would imagine, right? Yeah.  [00:11:02] Hendra Tambunan: That's definitely what's happening. That's the, that's actually the disadvantage of joint venture, right? Because obviously rather than like, you're getting like X amount of investor that playing passively now you have only had limited pool number of partners that everybody have to work together. For a smaller project too. Right?  [00:11:20] Sam WIlson: How long from conception to actually getting a deal across the finish line? Did this idea kind of come into your head where you said, Hey, look, I wanna have a joint venture. I need four or five partners, higher net worth individuals. How did you get that done? [00:11:32] Hendra Tambunan: So actually this is happening like about a couple of years ago, we got a, our 44 units that we partner up together and we stopped looking at, and obviously everybody's still doing Sy syndication, but the more we look into it, like, Hey, it kind of makes sense right now because we kind of enjoy it. We do a full cycle on that one because we do a Casa app refi and we see the model already. And then say like, this is kind of nice. Because now you'll get refi cash out. You've got your cap capital back. Now it's still producing a cash value. You're looking for, imagine if you keep doing it again and again, hash and repeat, right? That's that's pretty much the model. That's something that you keep, like what you said. The golden goose is still there and keep producing golden egg for you on an annual basis while you ticking in out without killing the golden goose per se. And just do rinse and repeat. Right.  [00:12:25] Sam WIlson: That makes a lot of sense. And that's something I've often struggled with in the syndication model, which is, we're doing that in the RV resort space right now where it's like, my gosh, these are enormous cash on cash returns. Why are we discussing selling this? I don't understand when it produces an income. It's hard. It's really hard. And that's been probably a growth for me as an investor is shifting out of that transactional mindset, which even in a five to seven year old is still kind of a transactional mindset into getting into the cash flow. And that's Robert Kiyosaki's whole thing is, get the cashflow quadrants, like, get into the place where consistent income comes in every month. And that makes a that makes a huge difference. One thing that we had talked about maybe was even there in your bio. I don't remember. Yeah, it was com commercial grade, short term rentals. That's something else that you're involved in. What is a commercial grade short term rental?  [00:13:19] Hendra Tambunan: So one thing that we did my partners not our partners in Midwest they found an Airbnb, sorry, bed and breakfast. That for some reason, used to be operating as a bed and breakfast and somebody actually bought it and used it for personal residence. So it's a commercial great zone. It's a Victorian house, 1893 built. But obviously when they have an urgency, they become motivated to sell because of. Health situation. They cannot really sell it because number one is commercial zone. So when you wanna sell it, there's not really comp. And then if you wanna sell as a commercial, there's not really income because they use it for personal housing. But they, we end up doing though. We power up with people again, as a JV structure, we take it down as cash able to close according to the time that they're looking for. And. One thing that did down to us, like, Hey, why don't we make it a short term rental, but now becoming because we bought it cash. We can do whatever we want. We put a prototype with the 18 months. Pro profit model, then we can be cash out refi again. Cause that way now you have a substantial cash flow that you can use as a baseline to go to approaching a DSCR lender and cash out that way. So a lot of people are focusing so much on short term rental because of primary residents, but sometimes people forget. Maybe a motel that you can use it to become like a short term rental too. It doesn't have to be like a big, massive short term rental 20 units of hotel thing like that. Something you can be as like small, like 5, 6, 8, smaller motel that you can convert into commercial grade short term rental because. One thing that people forgot, what you wanna sell is the experience this Victorian home by the way, is by the lake site. So the moment you go out, you can see the lake, you can walk and then it's like sitting on a two acre lot. So you got a lot of green space over there that you can enjoy and then have an quite experience, a family for family gathering or even small wedding. [00:15:22] Sam WIlson: That's really cool. And that's something, I have heard where people are running into challenges, and I don't know if you ran into this with your project, but they've run into challenges in getting short term rentals zoned, or they may have short term rental restrictions in the area. A lot of municipalities are putting in short-term rental. Restrictions, but if you buy something like an existing bed and breakfast, it's already zoned. I mean, it's already a short term rental or to your point of motel, it's already a short term rental. You're just changing the way in which it operates. Exactly. Yeah, there's not the red tape. Oh, Hey, there's a short term rental movement in town. It's like, well, no, this is a bed and breakfast. It's been a short term rental for a long time. So I think that's really cool. What have been some unique challenges maybe that you guys faced and how did you overcome them in getting, cuz it sounded like the bed and breakfast. Was it still in, in business or had it closed? [00:16:13] Hendra Tambunan: It was closed way back then. Wow. And then it got convert to a single family residence. Now, when we, obviously we do have a pushback from neighboring because we tell they are afraid the typical, bad, Airbnb, typically like a party school party goers, right. It nuisance. Right. Noise problem. We bring it up to the hearing, by the way in this is located in an, in corporate area. So obviously already commercially zone. So we do have some upside on that one. We would do a hearing. However, we also be able to my partners going knocking door or neighboring to neighboring properties and tell 'em like, look, this is the model that we're looking for. We're not gonna be buying in just. A property just for our college kids come and party on a weekend. Right. But this is the intentions are gonna be like for corporate retreat family reunion thing like that. And then we also tell them, like, this is the price when they're looking for, we actually, our prospects, like about four figures. At night, right? Summertime. And then during wintertime, this is a Midwest Lakeside, as you imagine, the wintertime is very cold, but still gonna be less than a, , an higher triple digit. So we tell them like, look how many college kids can afford that kind of thing. Even though it's like eight bedroom, but still that's gonna be too massive for them. We're not gonna be letting any college kids coming in and have a party. Costing a lot of issue for you guys. So we are able to get buy in before even the hearing. So during the hearing, we just basically just stem up approval formals.  [00:17:46] Sam WIlson: Got it. Oh, that's really cool. How have you guys found an effect or what have you done to effectively manage that from a long or from a distance? [00:17:55] Hendra Tambunan: So my business model, again, I live in California, west coast. I was able to, I always invest out of state because I always pop and rock with peoples who is acting as an operator who is living over there as oppos on the ground. So that's our always our model working. I come in this, the position of it'll coming in from capital raise for the syn. prospective there, but I also come from the asset management and as well also deal structured. And some ideation, obviously in planning in some of the execution.  [00:18:27] Sam WIlson: Got it. That's really cool. I love that. So you said in 18 months, your plan was to buy that commercial grade short term rental. Turn it in actually get the business running and then do a cash out refi on that. Have you been able to implement  [00:18:41] Hendra Tambunan: that? No, we are still in, we are in about September right now. We are in nine months. We still have nine more months to go. But so far it's hitting on the dot what we are looking for this summer. We're probably gonna be exceeding. The plan.  [00:18:55] Sam WIlson: Gotcha. That's really cool. That is really cool. If you were to rewind, say I don't know how long again, I didn't get that maybe in the intro there, but how long you've been investing in commercial real estate, but if you were to rewind the tape, what is one thing maybe that you would do differently? If you could? [00:19:10] Hendra Tambunan: I would say that connect with people as many as you can. But not only just connecting, be intentional and see, how can you add value to people? Because that way you're gonna scale a lot faster, right? This podcast title help to scale in more commercial multifamily. But a lot of people are asking like, how do I scale up? How do I scale up? Well, you scale up when you scale yourself up first, by adding value to other people that you're gonna be getting a lot of opportunity and deals coming your. I love  [00:19:42] Sam WIlson: that. I love that if you were to rewind a tape and then say, here's something I did really well, what would you recommend that people do to follow in your footsteps? [00:19:52] Hendra Tambunan: I would always say that to me and my wife. We are doing this together. Get comfortable in being uncomfortable. I'm not an extrovert to begin with. I'm an introvert by nature, right. But now I started becoming an Ambivert. But he just basically got comfortable and asked people like, how can I add value to you? What are you looking for? And how can I help you to grow? Instead of me grow. Cause I want you to grow first, then we'll grow together. That's  [00:20:17] Sam WIlson: awesome. I love that. I love that Hendra. You've given us a lot of things here to think about. I like the way you're restructuring really the balancing of your portfolio and saying, Hey, look, we're going to do more joint ventures. We're gonna do things and hold 'em in perpetuity. We're gonna do stuff that we can then pass on to our kids if they want. I think that's really cool. It certainly speaks to my heart. I go, gosh, that's that's kind of the goal. I think for me as well is building that portfolio of things that we hold for a long period of time, as opposed to the transactional nature that we can certainly fall into on the syndication front. Commercial grade short term rentals. I hadn't heard that phrase before, but certainly like the way that you've put that, because again, taking things like a previous bread and breakfast and turning it into a short term rental, that's something that we've certainly seen a few people chip in here on the show and talk about, and the, in the ways they've taken that down. And I think that's a really unique opportunity as well, especially on the short term rental front, maybe that people aren't looking at. So you've given us plenty of things to think about. Is there anything else you'd like to share with our guests here before we sign. Yeah. Well,  [00:21:16] Hendra Tambunan: I, like I said, I'll always love to add value to people. If you are a season or even the beginner in commercial family space, if there's anything I can help you with, they can reach out to me. I can be reached at Facebook through Facebook Hendra Tambunan or I'll give you my phone number too. If you want to connect with me 5 1 0 2 7 0 2 9 2 0. And then just mention that hear us from this podcast and I'll be happy to schedule a time and connect and help them to  [00:21:45] Sam WIlson: grow. That's awesome. Yeah, we'll make sure we put all those things there in the show notes as well. Hendra, thank you for taking the time to come on the show today. I certainly appreciate    [00:21:54] Hendra Tambunan: Thank you Sam, for having me.

Jason talks to Laurent Bensemana, President of Ndex Systems. Ndex systems is a portfolio management software providing clean or scrubbed data for the industry. Ndex is a custodial-based company established in 1999. Laurent's original objective was to build the ideal assistant for the financial industry. They never saw a distinction between money managers for retail brokers, discounters, product manufacturers.Episode Highlights:3.11: To expand our coverage, we have to ingest data from any source because clients don't have all of their wealth with one firm, says Laurent.5.45: The client wants to pay for advice, but they don't want to pay for the data entry. So we started offering that to the accounting industry to help them quickly reconcile and normalize the data to feed it into their accounting systems, says Laurent.13.15: If you want to have the best in class for everything, it's not going to be one product. It's going to be something that integrates the best in class, says Jason17.25 The value that gets built off a platform is greater than the value of the cost of the platform itself.19.00: Ndex gives a firm commitment and puts it on paper that your data is your data. Laurent explains that they are not here to sell data to any other group. What they do with a user's data is they feed the application to capitalize on the Ndex tools and provide the data to whomever the user instructs them to.23.22: The financial industry, as the independent, believes in the human contact of the financial sector and how important it is in the comfort it brings to the investor. 26.52: Laurent says that they are not looking to compete with another technology platform. They are open and want to work with their competing technology platforms to alleviate their arduous tasks and focus on things that are much more interesting and unique to their offering. 3 Key PointsNdex has become a data bridge no matter where the data resides or what format it resides in. We can ingest the data, reconcile it, normalize it, and put it out to use either Ndex or peripheral tools that are best in their particular market segment, acclaims Laurent.Easily 50% of what we do, whether development or business orientation, is our colleague's and clients' feedback, says Laurent.The financial industry's competition is not the financial firm next door. The financial industry competition is with Apple, Microsoft, Google, Facebook, and Amazon.Tweetable Quotes“One of the greatest compliments we get from the custody industry is that they tell us clients who deal with Ndex seldomly call them for data issues because we clean up their data. However, we understand that their task is also complicated and demanding.” – Laurent“Plaid and other data aggregators have figured out how to tie into different bank accounts worldwide, cleanse that data and give someone a standard data format.” – JasonResources Mentioned:Facebook – Jason Pereira's FacebookLinkedIn – Jason Pereira's LinkedInWoodgate.com – SponsorLaurent Bensemana – Website See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

In this episode of The Power Producers Podcast, David Carothers and co-host Kyle Houck interview James Jenkins, CIC, CRM, CRIS, Chief Risk Officer at RiskWell. James talks about how he started in the insurance industry and his knowledge and expertise in the insurance business. Episode Highlights: David introduces James Jenkins. (1:32) James mentions that starting an insurance agency from scratch with no industry experience is completely irresponsible. (7:43) James mentions that from a technology and client experience perspective, everything that the carrier did was intentional. (12:16) James thinks that a lot of independent agents struggle with technology’s evolution. (12:50) James shares one of the hardest transitions for him was going from being a good insurance agent and a good salesman to being a good business owner. (16:24) In James’ opinion, the transition has not been the easiest. Not until almost a year into running the independent agency did he have a great relationship with his CPA and bookkeeper. (16:37) James shares that everything he does in his business is 100% P&C insurance and it has given him a big advantage in how he works. It has allowed him to have channel partners that are life only and health only agents. (17:29) James mentions that there's a lot of benefit to being able to focus and do a small number of tasks at a high level. (17:52) James mentions that he was fortunate enough to be able to sell the previous agency. Therefore, he had an infusion of capital at the beginning. (22:53) James shares the most insane 8 months of his life. (24:28) Tweetable Quotes: “One of the biggest advantages in the captive world is they take so many things off of your plate that allows you to focus on what really matters such as prospecting and closing deals.” - James Jenkins “Having that foresight on the front end to say, who are we going to be and what are we going to focus our effort on. In the captive world, everybody's trying to do everything. Nobody turns away any prospect they quote because they don't know any better.” - James Jenkins “I encourage you to figure out what you want your focus to be. Who do you want to be? You can't be everything to everybody. So if you're going to be great at anything, you have to stop doing some things.” - James Jenkins Resources Mentioned: David Carothers LinkedIn Kyle Houck LinkedIn Florida Risk Partners The Extra 2 Minutes James Jenkins LinkedIn RiskWell

In this episode of The Power Producers Podcast, David Carothers and co-host Kyle Houck interview Adam Czerwinski, the Owner of Sidebar Insurance Solutions, Inc. Adam talks about how he shifted his career from being a lawyer to being an insurance agency owner He shares what the Chicagoland Chats Podcast is all about. Episode Highlights: David introduces Adam Czerwinski. (1:30) Adam mentions that he started the agency from scratch about 4 years ago and before that he was an attorney and practiced law for 10 years. (4:58) Adam shares that giving people explanations of cases that he handled made him realize how the insurance came into play from a real-life perspective. (6:49) Adam shares that if your product is your intellectual property, you can deliver what you create. (9:02) Adam mentions that every “No” is another step closer to the “Yes.” Therefore, just accept that “No” and be persistent on how to work through it. (12:16) Adam shares that they’re probably around 75% personal lines but they do a lot now with focusing on professionals, doctors, dentists, lawyers and helping them understand all of the risks. (24:10) Adam mentions that the personal lines have been their bread and butter because they have been on it for the full four years. (25:03) Adam shares one of the things that they’re seeing with COVID-19 is a lot of movement to try and pull things out of the work comp and change it as a personal injury claim. (36:08) Adam thinks that the policies are going to be revamped. Issues are going on between landlords and tenants currently that we would never have expected before. (40:52) Adam shares how they started the Chicagoland Chats Podcast. (45:11) Adam mentions that the key to being humble is to remember where you were, and where you started. (1:02:14) Tweetable Quotes: “One thing I understand that most attorneys do not understand is they were never taught in law school how to be business owners. They understand the policies they litigate and the portion of the policy they litigate in, but the holistic approach is not necessarily always there.” - Adam Czerwinski “It’s an exciting time but it's a scary time as well. Being an entrepreneur and having that mentality of moving forward to figure it all out really comes through. This is what I signed up for when I launched this agency.” - Adam Czerwinski “Humility is really what I think allows you to keep going. It's that humility that allows people to bind together and ask for help.” - Adam Czerwinski Resources Mentioned: David Carothers LinkedIn Kyle Houck LinkedIn Florida Risk Partners The Extra 2 Minutes Adam Czerwinski LinkedIn Sidebar Insurance Solutions, Inc.

Episode Highlights: David shares that people who are starting to get into the middle market don't understand the difference between writing commercial insurance to small businesses and writing commercial insurance to non-small businesses. (1:45) David talks about managing expectations. (2:04) David shares that the carrier has to get an understanding of what risk looks like through your communication with them, and specifically your submission. (3:27) David mentions that he’s a big fan of including loss control, audit claims, and underwriting in an on-site visit to that client. (3:36) David shares that one of the best things you can do is put together a good narrative that tells the underwriter exactly what it is that they're looking at, don't make them do a bunch of guesswork. (4:10) David says that setting carrier expectations sometimes are having legitimate marketing meetings with them. (5:16) David realized that there are a lot of agencies that despise the marketing visit. (5:23) David mentions that when you're building out a niche product or a pipeline, one of the best ideas is to go to the underwriter or the marketing rep. (5:59) Kyle thinks that you need to have a good type of relationship with the underwriter to where you can pick up the phone and have a conversation with them. (6:42) Kyle shares a story about one of his payroll partners that were trying to pull them away from the PEO relationship. (7:16) Kyle explains why they think that the claims were manageable. (8:25) David says that you must have historical results of proving yourself right. (9:35) David mentions that you need to do something better than every other agent out there. (11:23) David shares that when setting an expectation standpoint with a carrier, you should understand how they are going to take claims data in, and then report it back to you. (12:41) David says that one of the significant details is that we need to have claims reported by location. (12:55) David mentions that one of his biggest pet peeves is getting loss runs that lack detail. (14:10) David talks about the baseline risk assessment. (16:00) Kyle mentions that there's nothing more disappointing than not following through with the expectations. (21:33) David shares a story about the time he went on a drive-thru at Taco Bell with his buddy, Lance Crawford. (21:55) David explains the two significant phases of setting expectations. (23:23) From a managing expectation standpoint, David thinks that sometimes people don't set the expectation at the beginning and formalize it because they don't want to have the pressure of having to follow through. (23:55)    Tweetable Quotes:   “One of the reasons why we're able to get things done with carriers that other agencies aren't sometimes is because they know that we're transparent in that process...There's no smoke and mirrors.” - David Carothers “That’s the type of relationship leveraging that you need to do to get some things across the finish line. If I just go and submit that online and we're not having any conversation, that gets shut down all day.” - Kyle Houck “Number one set the expectation, and then most importantly, hold them to it. Make sure that they actually stick to what they said they're going to do for you. If you do that, you're going to find that you make your life a whole lot easier.” - David Carothers “If you're truly going to be a partner, they should always know what's going on. That's a major deal in terms of managing the relationship, and if your goal is to hit it and quit it, and you write the account and walk away, you're going to lose the account just as fast as you got it because you're not doing anything to keep it on the books.” - David Carothers   Resources Mentioned: David Carothers LinkedIn Kyle Houck LinkedIn Florida Risk Partners The Extra 2 Minutes Lance Crawford LinkedIn

In today's episode, you’ll learn why you can’t just apply to jobs online if you want to have a productive job search. Hear important tips about how to invest your time wisely during a job search and more effective ways to find your next job.    Episode Highlights:  Many people think the best way to find a job is to apply to jobs online. This makes your job search harder! Applying for jobs online feels productive, but really you're checking a box and not being strategic. Applying to jobs on job boards can be one of the least productive things for job seekers to do. Make sure you are investing your time wisely. Preferably you have a list of target employers where you know you want to work. This will make it easier for you to customize your application. Focused targeting allows you to pay closer attention to what specific companies are looking for. Tweaking your resume will take less time when you're focusing on specific targets. Apply with tailored materials that will fully support your candidacy for the role you're applying for. Applications are stored in application tracking systems. If you don't use the right keywords in your resume, no one will ever see it. Application tracking systems pre-qualify candidates. Most of the time you'll find the right keywords in the job description itself. The most important keywords are the job title and location. Most employees prefer local candidates. The higher up you get in an organization, the more likely they are to be open to relocation. The best way to start this process is with some specific employers in mind. Employers tend to really appreciate internal referrals. Take a quick look at your LinkedIn network and see if anyone within your connections works there or knows someone who works there. The "spray and pray" approach is one of the worst approaches to job searches. There are many places where you don't have to apply for a specific job in order to post your resume. Many job seekers think it's a numbers game, but that's not the best strategy. Job boards can be useful for research. Look at how many jobs your target employer posts each week and do some tracking. You can get creative to find the information for the hiring manager. Once you do get a name you can try sending them an email to share your enthusiasm and qualifications for the role. If you are currently unemployed, spend an hour a day applying to jobs online. Spend the rest of your time networking. Employers love to be followed on social media. 40% of jobs are filled by employee referrals. Do some offensive Googling. Google your name every week. This allows you to see what employers find when they search for your name.   3 Key Points: Applying for jobs online is much less phttps://professionalsuccesscoacing.ck.page/roductive than many people think.  Try to connect with a contact or an employee referral whenever you find a job that you are really interested in.  Spend most of your time networking during your job search.    Tweetable Quotes: “One of the biggest mistakes I see is spending too much time on the computer clicking that apply button.” – Sheila Boysen-Rotelli “It is important to customize your resume and cover letter for each job application." – Sheila Boysen-Rotelli “Having a friend or an acquaintance that works at a target employer can often be the fast track to a new job." – Sheila Boysen-Rotelli “There's a lot of information you can collect when you look at a job board.” – Sheila Boysen-Rotelli “Try to make a personal connection with someone outside of just applying to jobs every single day.” – Sheila Boysen-Rotelli   Resources Mentioned: Fast Track Your Job Search Online Program Claim your free six-step job search success workbook here

Use this time to take breaks for recharging your energy and mindset.  Make time for socializing to cope with the isolation of working from home. This includes face-to-face engagement and during the new norm of coronavirus, you can utilize video via Zoom or FaceTime.   Get dressed every morning as if you were going into the office. Don’t stay in your pajamas!   Ketamine Academy and IV Therapy Academy are offering courses at a 50% discount.

Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner and Host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy Podcast invites Francis to return as guest host. In this episode, find out how to leverage stellar customer service to elevate your marketing and brand. Discover the three things you must do consistently to provide outstanding customer services and the value of having multiple touch points for customer conversations.      Episode Highlights: Within the healthcare industry, and across many other industries flooded with options, customer service is extremely important to stand out from the competition.  Francis shares two major brands that deliver outstanding customer service. One example is Amazon. By offering free two-day delivery, compared to others who charge high rates for a longer delivery time, Amazon has crushed the competition.     Another example is Zappos. They enhance customer service by not putting a time limit on phone calls when a customer service representative is speaking to a customer to troubleshoot problems and ensure satisfaction.  Customers calling in are important and valuable prospects because they’re taking an extra step to learn more about your product or service offering beyond using the internet.   Great customer service experiences provide positive advertising because they generate word-of-mouth. These experiences get customers talking about your business to their family and friends.  There are three things Francis recommends you must do to ensure stellar customer service. Answer your phone, provide a solid online or in-person experience and follow up.   If you encounter a negative customer experience, apologize. Listen to the complaint, provide empathy and ask what you can do to make it right.     3 Key Points: Answering your phones when they ring is a strong way to deliver great customer service because those customers are seeking immediate answers to their questions.    Having a process and system in place helps you greet customers properly when they enter your business and allows you to get to know your regular customers better.   Following up with customers after you’ve provided a product or service is a point of differentiation. Some examples include sending a thank you note or an email to check in to ensure their experience with your brand was positive.   Tweetable Quotes: “One of the biggest ways you can differentiate yourself and get a lot more people coming in talking about you is by providing really, really good customer service.” – Francis Waldecker “I know you don’t really think of Amazon as customer service. But, think about their two-day shipping. What better customer service could you give than getting people their online orders quicker and faster?” – Francis Waldecker “The number one way I see most businesses falling short is not answering their phones.” – Francis Waldecker   Resources Mentioned: Jason’s Website: JasonDuprat.com Jason’s Socials: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jasonduprat Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jasonaduprat Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy Facebook Group: https://www.jasonduprat.com/group Ketamine Academy Website: ketamineacademy.com Ketamine Academy Free Training Presentation: ketamineacademy.com/presentation   #HealthcareEntrepreneurAcademy #HealthcareBoss #healthcare #entrepreneur #entrepreneurship #bizstrategy #customerservice #marketing #branding #customerexperience #customersatisfaction
