"It's been surprising to me how quiet things have been in the humanities. Maybe we're all just taking it in, but I also think that - and this really makes me sad - the tech leaders have been looked at by the media and probably by the politicians themselves as being the important voices at the table for the implications of technology. And there's been a lot of confusion about scientific development versus speculation. So you're seeing everybody wanting to interview the CEOs at the big tech companies or the big AI researchers. And then all of a sudden the idea that they somehow have a monopoly on ideas about conscious machines, for example, or merging with AI. Elon Musk never stops with philosophical claims, and a lot of times you have to wonder what they're supposed to be doing for his stock values as opposed to whether they're true or not. But people just take this, sadly, as what the scientists or AI companies say. You know, well, 'they know the science, so it's got to be true.' But that is not the case. That's where the humanities should be more involved. And it's been a slow plotting situation to see people really step up. I've just been sort of taking it all in, and I've been doing a lot of advising in Washington. So maybe we're all waiting to see where this all goes, right? But I think at this point, I finally achieved a sort of confidence about how I think it's going to play out."Will AI become conscious?

"I'm using ChatGPT Plus, and you can do much better research. I think the scientific possibilities are amazing, and it's a very good research assistant. There are plugins you can use to go through scientific papers quickly. And if you feed it the right sort of data, it has near instantaneous access to a range of facts that helps me in my field. And I think any system that has these kinds of capacities...it's a sort of crowdsourced brain if you will. So it's roughly like the neocortex, very roughly. And it's a neocortex without a limbic system. So it's just an association engine without necessarily emotions, but it's able to quickly access a range of materials that humans can't. So there should be intriguing scientific discoveries, drug discovery, and computations. And of course, involving climate change."Will AI become conscious?

“So it's hard to tell exactly what the dangers are, but that's certainly one thing that we need to track that beings that are vastly intellectually superior to other beings may not respect the weaker beings, given our own past. It's really hard to tell exactly what will happen. The first concern I have is with surveillance capitalism in this country. The constant surveillance of us because the US is a surveillance capitalist economy, and it's the same elsewhere in the world, right? With Facebook and all these social media companies, things have just been going deeply wrong. And so it leads me to worry about how the future is going to play out. These tech companies aren't going to be doing the right thing for humanity. And this gets to my second worry, which is how's all this going to work for humans exactly? It's not clear where humans will even be needed in the future.”Will AI become conscious?

"I am the type of person who's endlessly interested in different topics, and that can lead to really fun things. I'm also very worried about the future of humanity. Maybe that's an outgrowth of being a parent. I have three teenagers, and I worry about where AI is headed. We are at a really interesting point in technology, and it's sort of an honor to be alive right now to witness all this. But to go back to consciousness, this is a key aspect of my sense of life, and it always bothers me when people haven't thought about it. Like I asked my husband the other day: how can people go through life without really thinking about or appreciating the fact that they are conscious beings?"Will AI become conscious?

"I think people need to remember consciousness. I think it's the most central aspect of our existence. And I think we need to remember to appreciate that felt quality of experience and know what it is and know what it is not. So as we move forward and deliberate over the human future and grasp machine intelligence and see it increasing and improving, we need to understand what's distinctive about us. And I think having a better scientific and philosophical understanding of these questions is very important."Will AI become conscious?

A local library director in the US state of Idaho has been forced to quit her job, after coming under attack from Conservatives trying to ban books from the shelves. The prohibited list includes more than 400 titles - many young adult books with LGBTQ characters. And these books aren't even in the library's collection yet. Kimber Glidden, the director of Boundary County library, joins us now.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this week's episode of We Love Outdoors with Rich Davenport, your humble host remembers the upcoming anniversary of the sinking of the Edmond Fitzgerald, which occurred November 10, 1975 in Lake Superior. The power of the Great Lakes should always be respected and remembered. Crossbow season in NY's southern zone is in full swing now, with regular season fast approaching. Your host provides some reminders on firearms safety, as a hunter related shooting incident occurred in Erie County this past October 28 during a pheasant hunt. This hunter on hunter event did not seriously injure the victim, and the hunters did speak after the incident. However, the victim could not recall the name or contact info he got from the other hunter, and DEC is seeking anyone with information to help them find the responsible party. Contact DEC Law Enforcement at 716-851-7050, ext 5, with any information. November 1 marked the full release of the DEC's documentary Uninvited: The Spread of Invasive Species. Available for free on the DEC's youtube channel, the hour-long documentary provides good information and insight into the problem of invasives, and what we can do to help stem the spread. Turning to covid covid covid news, a propaganda piece appeared in the NY Times, and reported on in the NY Post, claiming that whitetail deer in Iowa show they had covid covid covid. Based on a paper that is not peer-reviewed, and even coming with disclaimers stating same, and for the press not to treat the paper as conclusive, the propagandists seeking to further the now well over emergency just couldn't help themselves. Detection of covid was done through antibody analysis, not actual genetic sequencing of the antigen. However, plenty of peer-reviewed science is published including in the US Library of Medicine, concerning Bovine Covids and deer, as cows spread coronavirus to wild whitetail deer, which do spread the malady responsible for causing diarrhea in wild cervids, and this has been going on for a long time. The National Academy of Science was working in 2020 on finding any potential intermediary responsible for spreading covid-19, using a list of animals susceptible to coronaviridae family viruses. The list included 252 species of mammals, 72 species of birds, 65 species of fish, 17 reptiles and 4 amphibians. None of these are human covids, but 2010 research indicates that genomes in even Bovine Covids show some genetic similarities to human covids, making the antigens nearly indistinguishable. Convenient for propaganda pushing. Although Albany DEC appears to believe this tripe, my anonymous sources at Cornell's School of Veterinary Medicine concurs with your humble host, that many coronaviruses exist, and the articles were highly slanted. Don't be fooled. Next we will hear we are giving covid covid covid to wild turkeys (yes, turkeys have covids, too). Your humble host also provides updates to some important dates, and expo season returns in 2022, with the Greater Niagara Fishing Expo and the WNY Outdoors and Travel expo both returning in 2022. State record fish continue to be set, as new records in NJ and PA have been reported. DEC has also codified new WMA regulations pertaining to permitted uses, taking effect January 1, 2022. NY voters passed the Environmental Rights Amendment, and all eyes are on what this may do to NYers through vigilante enforcement via lawsuits. Finally, the rush to jump off the renewables cliff continues, but bad news continues to plague the wind and solar industries as reliability, costs and even supply chain problems are quickly dampening the efforts. Remember, November 15 marks the hearing on Great Lakes wind turbines, hosted by Sothtowns Walleye Assn, starting at 6:30 PM at their club house on Southwestern Blvd in Hamburg, NY. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/rich-davenport/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/rich-davenport/support

In the 10th episode of Planet A, Dan Jørgensen talks with Barack Obama's former Secretary of Energy, Dr. Ernest Moniz. Dr. Moniz holds a doctoral degree in theoretical nuclear physics and made his first foray into Washington-politics as President Bill Clinton’s Under Secretary of Energy (1997-2001).He is widely recognized as one of the most knowledgeable people on the planet, when it comes to energy, science and politics. Thus, it should be no surprise that POLITICO ranks him as a leading contender to be President-elect Joe Biden’s next Secretary of EnergyDuring the conversation, Dr. Moniz shares his view on the future of American climate and energy politics, in the wake of the recent elections. He also speaks on the promise and pitfalls of specific technologies, including:Carbon capture, usage and storageTechnology enhanced natural processes such as “advanced mineralization”Advanced nuclearHydrogenRenewablesDr. Moniz also talks about his experience with directing governmental energy technology research and development. Furthermore, he speaks about the need for social equity in energy politics. Finally, he explains how his knowledge about politics and science came in handy as he negotiated both the Iran Nuclear Agreement and the Paris Agreement.He started his illustrious academic career at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (perhaps best known as the MIT) in 1973 and is currently serving as Director of their Energy Initiative, working to develop no-carbon and low-carbon solutions. A brief note on this episode: During the interview, Moniz and Jørgensen touch upon President Theodore Roosevelt’s friendship with the Danish immigrant, Jacob Riis. Riis became a prominent activist, documenting the deplorable social conditions of the poor in New York City and calling for social equity.You can learn more about Jacob Riis at the US Library of Congress homepage or at the homepage of the Danish “Jacob A. Riis Museum”.

In 1941 the German Navy commissioned its latest submarine, the U-134 and as it slid out of harbour to join the 5th U boat flotilla, Captain-Lieutenant Rudolf Schendel keenly anticipated the mission ahead. You may be wondering why this Type 7C U Boat should feature in a Plane Tale but bear with me as I introduce the K-74. Built a year after the U-134, the K 74 came from a company with an interesting origin, the Goodyear Zeppelin Corporation. This is their intriguing story.                                   Images under Creative Commons licence with thanks to NSA, UK National Archives, Darkone,  US Library of Congress, the Goodyear Zeppelin company, USN, Grossnick Roy A, Royal Navy and the US Naval Institute.

Positive tests are not cases.  A positive test for COVID does not mean someone is sick.  The only spikes we've had are positive tests.  Not cases.  Where's the epidemic? Where are the sick people?Anyone who dies these days is tested for COVID.  If that test comes out positive, COVID will be listed as the cause, no matter what they died of.  Facts like these are how the lockdown is being unnecessarily prolonged.  Irresponsible bureaucracy - whose only agenda is their own power.  The epitome of nonsensical science, as the world has never seen. Now banned from Facebook.  What is it they don't want you to know?References1.Faulty COVID-19 antibody tests   60 Minutes  28 Jun 2020     https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OZV_sRL403Q 2.

On the auspicious day of Hanuman Jayanthi (May 16th) I thought it would be appropriate to talk about the monkey mind which is a vata imbalanced mind per Ayurveda.  Recently I came across a very interesting research done by the US Library of Medicine on brain research done on vata brain, pitta brain, and kapha brain. I am sharing the result of this interesting article in this episode and how it accurately ties with Ayurveda which was told more than 10000 years back.  In this episode you will learn practical tips on balancing the monkey mind of vata - 1) How the age-old ghee called Purana Ghritha in Ayurveda helps with various mental issues? 2) How Ojas (the refined by-product of Kapha dosha) helps to bring security and stability to the vata mind?  3) What are tangible signs that give us clues that Ojas is not sufficient in life? 4) How reciting of vedic mantras and meditation help to calm and center the monkey mind? 5) I recite one paragraph of Hanuman Chalisa for you to get inspired to recite this mantra to pacify vata mind Jai Hanuman! Jai Guru! Want to incorporate diet guidelines to pacify your vata mind and body - please listen to my Vata episode called Fall into Ayurveda.  FREE GIFT FOR YOU!

I’m a Nerd and I’m okay, I play all night and I sleep all day, I read science journals, I eat my lunch I ride on the hover train (I wish). Welcome back to another exciting and fun filled episode from those whacky Nerds. First up this week we have a story about China influencing game studios to block any references to protests in Hong Kong. Obviously we weren’t approached, probably because of Buck’s rants. But this is kind of bad as it is enforcing the propaganda of a military regime. So please listen in and then go forth and show support for Hong Kong in its bid for democratic freedom from oppression. Viva la revolution!Next up we look at news of resorts and hotels being planned for space. That’s right, hotels in orbit! You will be able to play basketball in one if you are so inclined. There is even mention of accommodation available on the ISS for a price, but no airport transfers, sorry. So if you know anyone expecting a return visit from aliens and wanting to avoid those pesky immigration queues then this might be just the ticket.Then we look at the Emmy awards, particularly the creative side. They took place recently and there are some interesting winners to take a look at. There are the usual suspects that are to be expected, such as Game of Thrones, but also others such as “Age of Sail.” So take a look through the list and see who you like and also if there is something you like and we over looked it.As always we have the shout outs, remembrances, birthdays, and special events from this week in history. We are planning on being at Supanova again this year, if you are let us know and we will be happy to see you. Until next time stay safe, take care of each other and stay hydrated.EPISODE NOTES:Hong Kong protest references removed in game - https://www.reddit.com/r/Games/comments/d4brd7/mobile_game_second_galaxy_removing_guilds_with/A Space hotel experience - https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/technology/fake-gravity-and-supersized-basketball-a-look-inside-the-space-hotel-experience/ar-AAHhTCr2019 Creative Emmy Awards and the winners - https://deadline.com/2019/09/creative-arts-emmy-awards-2019-winners-list-1202734630/Games currently playingBuck– The Orville Fan experience - https://store.steampowered.com/app/1096200/The_Orville__Interactive_Fan_Experience/Professor– Creeper World : Anniversary Edition - https://store.steampowered.com/app/422910/Creeper_World_Anniversary_Edition/DJ– Warframe - https://store.steampowered.com/app/230410/Warframe/Other topics discussedWhite Chicks (2004 American comedy film directed by Keenen Ivory Wayans.)- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_ChicksForensic Firearm exam (forensic process of examining the characteristics of firearms as well as any cartridges or bullets left behind at a crime scene.)- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forensic_firearm_examinationSteam removes Devotion game- https://www.theverge.com/2019/2/25/18239937/taiwanese-horror-game-devotion-gone-steam-removed-winnie-the-pooh-meme-chinaUniversity of Queensland as students clashed over their views on China and pro-democracy protesters in Hong Kong.- https://www.abc.net.au/news/2019-07-24/uq-student-protest-anger-over-hong-kong-chinese-minorities/11343130Shenmue 3 undergoing slight changes- https://www.oneangrygamer.net/2019/09/shenmue-3-reportedly-undergoes-slight-alterations-for-chinese-localization/93134/?fbclid=IwAR3icI-5tQESFeT0-2G4i7Zgr_jhh89E8eJvjBQKaoA6eoGajwU7rIM1svMSony’s strict content censorship- https://boundingintocomics.com/2019/04/23/sony-confirms-existence-of-strict-content-censorship-policy-regarding-playstation-4-releases/AC/DC (Australian Band)- https://www.sonymusic.co.uk/artists/acdcVon Braun Station also known as Rotating wheel space station- https://gatewayspaceport.com/von-braun-station/- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotating_wheel_space_stationFly in Fly out (method of employing people in remote areas by flying them temporarily to the work site instead of relocating employees and their families permanently.)- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fly-in_fly-outLaunchbat (Bat hanging onto space shuttle)- https://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/shuttle/shuttlemissions/sts119/launchbat.htmlSpace Elevator (proposed type of planet-to-space transportation system.)- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_elevatorSpace Station V (Largest orbital structure ever built.

While jogging alongside Yerevan Lake with his brother Kamo, also a finswimmer, Karapetyan had just completed his usual distance of 20 km when he heard the sound of a crash and saw a sinking trolleybus which had gone out of control and fallen from a dam wall. The combined effect of cold water and the multiple lacerations from glass shards led to Karapetyan's hospitalization for 45 days, as he developed pneumonia and sepsis. Subsequent lung complications prevented Karapetyan from continuing his sports career. He was awarded the Medal "For the Salvation of the Drowning" and the Order of the Badge of Honor. - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shavarsh_Karapetyan16 Sept 2019 - Fisherman catches ‘alien’ fish with huge bulbous eyes off Norwegian island and ate it. Mr Oscar Lundahl, 19, was fishing for the blue halibut of Andoya in northern Norway, He nearly jumped out of his fishing boat when he saw the bizarre-looking species with bulbous eyes on the end of his line. The specimen is a ratfish, whose Latin name Chimeras Monstrosa Linnaeus is aptly derived from a Greek mythical monster that had the head of a lion and tail of a dragon. The fish — a relative of the shark that dates back 300 million years — live in deep water and are very rarely caught. Not wanting to waste it, he said he took the fish home and fried it up. Despite its ugly appearance, it was delicious. “It is a bit like cod but tastier,” he said. - https://www.news.com.au/technology/science/animals/fisherman-catches-alien-fish-with-huge-bulbous-eyes-off-norwegian-island/news-story/7bee99e9f22dd336031d40692636c008Remembrances16 Sept 1736 - Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit, a physicist,inventor, and scientific instrument maker. Fahrenheit was born in Danzig (now Gdańsk, Poland), then a predominantly German-speaking Hanseatic city in the Pomeranian Voivodeship of the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth, but lived most of his life in the Dutch Republic (1701–1736) and was one of the notable figures in the Golden Age of Dutch science and technology. A pioneer of exact thermometry, he helped lay the foundations for the era of precision thermometry by inventing the mercury-in-glass thermometer (first practical, accurate thermometer) and Fahrenheit scale (first standardized temperature scale to be widely used). In other words, Fahrenheit's inventions ushered in the first revolution in the history of thermometry (branch of physics concerned with methods of temperature measurement). From the early 1710s until the beginnings of the electronic era, mercury-in-glass thermometers were among the most reliable and accurate thermometers ever invented.

Rent it. Profit! Brian is a very successful multifamily real estate investor and syndicator. He's also considered to be a leader when it comes to multifamily investing. What I think is so special about him is that he started his career as a property manager and that's why his insights are always on point since he had seen this business through its core. So let's get started.    Welcome to the Real Estate Investing podcast with Don and Eden where we cover all aspects of real estate investing with special attention to multi-family apartment buildings and off-market strategies.    Hey Brian, welcome to the show. Thanks for having me. Good to be here.    So I've been wanting to have you on the show ever since I was listening to you in a different podcast. And I got to say that you're one of the experts that I've ever listened to when it comes to multifamily management and you're a very renowned speaker. The first thing I want us to do is, tell us a little bit about yourself and what you've been doing in the past year and what you're doing right now.    Oh, awesome. I'll be glad to. My background as is the multifamily industry I got started in this industry well over a decade ago - probably push closer to two decades now but first got into this industry just leasing. I started leasing apartments worked my way up from leasing into management to acquisition specialist. So really I've been around the multi-family industry from day one. I think when you were saying and I greatly appreciate the feedback that you heard me on other podcasts and gravitated toward my style or my brand I think that comes from really just living this and doing this for so long.  there's a lot of syndicators and there's a lot of outstanding guys out there getting involved with my multifamily. A lot of experts now offering classes in educational content which is awesome. I love it. We welcome it and I admire all those guys but very few have started like I have, which was almost 20 years ago leasing, management and working their way up through the multi-family industry a lot of them got in as syndicators and been blessed to have the opportunities to be able to raise money coming from other positions or jobs and creating these real estate investment firms where they're now acquiring multi-family but  there's very few of us who've actually lived and breathed and worked and got a W-9 from this industry so I feel like that is kind of what sets me apart is that as a practitioner this is what I do this is who I am. So it allows me to be able to really give great content great feedback what I feel is which makes the podcast so interesting is because I'm usually not regurgitating something I've heard I'm usually telling you something I know, so at the end of the day I think that why the viewers and individuals resonate with what I say on the podcast or in my lecture.    Yeah definitely. So when I was 18 I told my father I wanted to open a bar. And so my father told me ‘that if you want to open a bar -first you got to be a bartender. And I could totally relate. When I think about your story that you became a syndicator- right? you're syndicating deals right now. Yes. So you became a syndicator but you started from the bar. If we use that analogy and so I think that's terrific because you get the insights from firsthand. You really know what's going on the inside. And so I want to ask you how did that make you a better syndicator?    Really its fundamentals… experience. The one thing that no one can buy you can't acquire in books. You can't go to a four or five-day boot camp can't attend a mastermind and obtain experience. And I'll go a step further. Not only experience- but tested & evaluated experience. There's a ton of people out there who've gone through life or gone through some sort of experience but haven't really learned from it.  they've haven't mastered it. So for the experience of being in the industry and the multi-family industry allowed me to not only become trained and educated through the National Apartment Association and taking my certifications and then going on to teaching a lot of the courses through the camp certification but it allowed me to experience managing and operating thousands of units. And at the end of the day, that's the key. That's the great divider separator you want to just make sure that you're syndicator that you're dealing with has some sort of experience.   I know a lot of people say experience syndicating and that's good. I also like experience and that you have experience as a syndicator but you also have a hands-on experience at operating these properties because experience at the end of the day if all hell breaks loose- there's countless YouTube videos with me stepping foot on the property and releasing everybody on site going to work for a private equity firm and having to fire the staff at one hundred thirty three-unit apartment building and actually run in it for a week or so by myself with just me and my personal assistant until she was able to staff it and help me staff it. We’d close it down for lunch and did the interviews and then I spent two days training the new staff and then staffing the place so that at the end of the day to me if you're raising money and you're a syndicator you want to stay on top of your game you want to always continuously be educated and have as much experience hands-on operating experience as possible.  I think at the end of the day I think that's always for me is always a key fundamental or a key trait.    Yeah. I mean I think if you were raising money for me and I know that you were also a property manager and that's how you started and so it would have been a strong card so it would have been I would definitely consider. So thinking about giving you my money to work with because I know how to handle it. And so I'm pretty sure that helped you a lot. And I also know you wrote two books on multi families right? Property Management. So tell us a little bit about these books.    Yeah. Well, those books for there were social media before brands were created in and thought leaders were instantly created like a microwave label product.    There was me 15 years ago  and I had a book a manual I wrote out of the back of my car I was working in the multifamily industry at the time managing thousands of units and I decided I wanted to become ago and a real estate entrepreneur and I didn't have two nickels to rub together hand. So I decided that what I could do is write about the procedures manual and Operations Manual. And so I wrote this manual and selling it out of the trunk of my car and I was visiting various different real estate associations and I had no experience speaking. I actually sucked at it. I mean I had several people would put on the comment forms that I looked like a deer in the headlights. But I kept grinding and I kept going at it I kept doing it and eventually,  people would start to come in wanting to meet with me outside of these real groups. And so then I started to hold these little meetups before meetups were popular I started holding them at a Kinko's off of Dale Mayberry in South Tampa and they allowed me to use the broom closet. So I cleaned up the broom closet because the manager actually was a part of one of the groups, they let me come in. I cleaned up the broom closet, cleaned the boxes out and I put a table in there and started holding meetings and teaching individuals how to manage their properties properly. And then I would try to sell my two hundred dollar Procedures Manual that ran their entire business for them, give them all the forms everything they needed the procedures, how to do it, how to interact with prospect tenants, how to deal with them, how to move them in, how to move them out, how to evict them if they ever had to do an eviction. So the procedures manuals were the same manuals I was using pretty much operate thousands of rental units so it was kind of second nature to me.    Then,  that eventually became the distant relative to the books that are out there on the shelves now and I think one other thing that makes me unique is that these books are published and both are best sellers. One is, ‘Buy It, Rent It, Profit!’- the original is in the US Library of Congress. So it's not only a best seller and published by Simon Schuster but it's in the US Library of Congress so  I'm extremely proud of that but I'm probably more so proud of the humble beginnings. I wasn't born up social media age of being able to grab attention by doing YouTube videos I mean the content delivery I was doing was organic- I was living it day to day and now it's just sharing my knowledge with individuals and my experiences with individuals. I think again that falls back to where you ask me what makes me different. I think the big difference is just experience... tested & evaluated the experience  and so at the end of the day I think that experience came through to the training materials comes through to the books comes through my coaching programs and I believe that's really what gives not only myself but others the opportunity to succeed in this industry is being able to piggyback off of someone else's experience. That to me is is key because I've piggybacked off of my predecessors and most supervisors in the months our family industry who taught me getting and tons of others that I've worked for in the apartment industry I've learned from these individuals so it's  it's really passing it on and then passing it on through curriculum and design and training coaching programs. So I'm just really doing what I've naturally done from the very beginning.   Yeah, that's truly inspiring. And I want to talk about your book ‘Buy It. Rent It. Profit!’ So actually I read your book.  It was a long time ago as I think I was a year ago. I read a lot. I do a lot of reading and that's I think that's truly essential in today's world. I always talk about it here in the podcast. You're saying stuff about social media and the world the way it used to be. I think the world is very different right now and I think that there is access to so much information. So what is essentially what is a book? A book is the life study of a very smart man. Think about it. I mean isn't that what it is. I just said it on, I was hosted by this youtube channel and I just said it over there. It's called ‘One Rental At A Time’. If you guys want to see me over there. So yeah they asked me about books and reading and I said I read a lot. And the reason why I think it's so important to read is because, think about it, if you're not reading your competition is always reading and they are acquiring the life studies of very smart people. Right. What is it what does it cost? Ten dollars? I mean it's so cheap to get that critical knowledge for whatever it is you want to do so I have read your book and I want to talk about that book. I want to talk specifically about the ‘Five Phases of Stabilizing a Property’ because I think this is really getting down to the details without crunching too many numbers. But I think it's really what the audience needs to know. So I know the five phases are Acquisition and then Implementation, Stabilization, Growth, and Exit Strategy right. Exactly.    So I want us to talk on and dedicate the rest of this interview or the majority of this interview for these five phases. So could you please tell us shortly about each one of the steps and what are the most important things to look after or look for in these steps when you're buying and trying to stabilize a multifamily property.    Yeah. Acquisition. The number one phase of the five phases is understanding how to acquire a property from an income approach. And I think at the end of the day there are always challenges when you have an investment firm and your firm is thriving or you're syndication thrives for putting deals together. The idea is where do you find deals? I'm fortunate enough to live in Tampa, Florida area where there are deals for me and a great market is in my own backyard. However, the ability to find and evaluate these great markets are to use another process called the ‘SEOTA process’ if you read the book ‘Strategic Evaluation of Our Target Area’ and they wanted to identify your area through building permit activity demographics and graphs of your prospect tenant knowing really more about your prospect tenant than they know about themselves. Then you start looking for deals and then you back deals into that particular understanding that prospect tenants demographic- that's going to reveal the type of projects or deals that you can really go after like what type or class and asset classes you're going to kind of target.  Whether it be A or B or C asset classes and then obviously the price points you want to pay for those because those premiums there are premiums on A, B and C properties. A and B properties are obviously more and you can't build a Class B property out of the ground because of the cost of construction so knowing and identifying your assets once you've done that, then you will acquire it from an income approach and then understanding what does that income look like in the future not what you're acquiring and far the entry cap will put the exit cap may look like there's always a balancing act. For me, it's really understanding who that prospect tenant is.    I'm not gambling on the property itself.  I'm more so gambling on the prospect tenant at the end of the day, so I'm really the gamble is really not appropriate and that's something that should be stressed. It's on the market essentially. Well, it's on, that not only on the market but what makes up the market so you gotta keep drilling down. That's where again where you see a lot of the Internet gurus  they'll say ‘oh you focus on the property.’ Everybody is talking about underwriting properties and real estate is not about the property. Multi-family, in my opinion, is not so much about the property as much it is about the prospect tenant the demographic. I always say real estate is about people right.    Buildings don't pay rent. People pay rent. So at the end of the day if what's going to increase value over time you're increasing value by a periodic increase of rent and a periodic pay down the debt and that's how you create value. And at the end of the day this whole game that we're playing is predicated upon the prospect tenant and how they react and how do you react to market conditions. So you have to kind of forecast market conditions and then you have to kind of forecast how that's going to be how your prospect tenants going to react to those market conditions, therefore, i.e. no impact the value of your asset moving forward. So a lot more to it than just go into a five-day boot camp and thinking you're going to learn everything you need to learn about this industry by understanding how to underwrite property numbers can tell you a lot. One of my good friends the boxer, Winky Wright. Winky said ‘everybody looks good on paper. Everybody's a competitor on paper until you get in the ring and get hit in the mouth’ - everybody looks good and until you actually get hit. So at the end of the day, X's and O's and strategies and numbers, they can help predict. They can help evaluate but they don't run the property at the end of the day.  Someone's got to get in there from the operational level and know how to run this thing on Monday through Friday or Monday through Sunday. So that's extremely important for individuals to understand. I think that's where a lot of this is lost. This is really understanding how to evaluate investment properties from the acquisition level by really understanding who your prospective is and really identifying that demographic and forecasting them.  Then you move into the Implementation phase where most lose on the implementation phase because they don't know how to implement the right types of systems -there are two types of core systems hard systems and soft systems. The hard systems are your procedures & manuals. The manuals should identify the work that needs to be done Monday through Sunday. Then tell the user how to go about performing that work in a consistent manner like a franchise. So, if you have a franchise - your multifamily apartment building you're not running it like a franchise which means I could take it and put it in any kind of city or any state or anywhere in the country and it runs the exact same way, then you really don't have a business model. So, first of all, you have to implement the type of systems that will allow you to kind of franchise the way you're doing business which really means offer consistency because when you can offer consistency then you create profitability. So then you have the second system which is the soft systems which are your property management software. You have Appfolio, then newcomers that are disrupting like Uptop which is a free property management application. So if you're a real estate broker or agent you're trying to strike into the property management you probably want to look at those free platforms.    So, you systemize the apartment building and then you're in the implementation phase which brings you into Stabilization and then now you're focusing on stabilizing the property which is maximizing income and minimizing expenses. So you're maximizing income and you're minimizing expenses and that's the name of the game because typically you're buying a value add project. If you're syndicator like I am looking at the deals and you're looking to be able to add value and create value over a period of time and exit at a higher value. So that is done through stabilization and then of course then you're focusing on Growth.    From Growth, it's the Exit strategy and typically the exit strategy is to refi. And obviously, if what you're doing as an operator the ability to refi is all about having management in place, good numbers, good T-12’s is basically your accounting, your profit and loss statements for the past year just making sure you're on top of your game as an operator. So make sure that you're on top of your game as an operator allows you to refine that you can refine pay off your investors reposition and then you just keep them you keep the ball rolling. Really that's how you create wealth as a syndicator  because you're taking a percentage of each of these deals and obviously if you look at your IRR if you're only putting maybe zero to 5 percent into these deals and you're reaching your press and you're reaching your goals and structure I mean you're making 100 X obviously if you're putting zero when your ability to be able to create seven or eight-figure incomes for yourself based on your approach to this business is really obtainable.    I mean if I could do it. I mean to be told that anyone could do it.    Yes, I mean I think you could do it you're a very smart man.    But I really feel like the reason why I excel is like you I read and then go back to that reading and a lot of people, I think I've been criticized before - well someone said I know because I've mentioned to them that I didn't read a lot of books. However, they didn’t let me finish. I don't read a ton of books. What I do is I find four or five and I master them and I won't move to another book. It's like I master the three or four that I've read. And so I'm not big on consuming a ton of information or a ton of books as much as I am about consuming one book and mastering that book and implementing into my lifestyle. And for me, I can't speak on anyone else but for me, that takes time because I'm a bit of a knucklehead so to read a book like ‘The Book of Five Rings’ and to master that and implement it or read a book like ‘The Richest Man in Babylon’ take me a while to implement it and make it a day today. So for me, I'm not necessarily the smartest person I'm definitely not the smartest person on my team. But at the end of the day, I just think that while others are playing checkers I'm playing chess and not necessarily smarts but I think it’s strategy and that I leave it at that.    Yeah. Which for me, that's what I mean when I say smart. I also never went to college and I and I have a high school diploma and that's it. And I don't think I need more than that because I think being smart and successful is measured by society by being a good student which doesn't necessarily make you a successful man. Because I wasn't the best student in my class but I'm pretty sure I am one of the most successful ones.  if you look at my class I grew up in Israel and I know the situation of the people there. It's like they're doing okay. They're not bad. But I know they're not doing well right. I mean some students in my class they were so smart and they would get like A's on every test and I wasn't like that because I don't think that the things they teach you in schools are necessarily the things you need to be successful in today's society. I think it's a little bit outdated but that's a subject for that we could talk about for hours.    Absolutely. And it's funny because I have three coaching clients that are Israeli and they’re three of my favorite guys so I definitely understand that  I understand the school system, I understand the struggle because I'm helping them syndicate and a lot of it is what it is- the school system is a factory. You gotta get them in, you got to get them out and move them on- you get caught up in that because everyone learns differently. So, I think that's why again people resonate to my coaching programs and they resonate to my lectures, and podcast because I think I deliver it the way that obviously people had time in school.  it should be delivered but we have such imagination. So we feel like if they're not successful in the school that they can't. I mean look you can go to YouTube to you to see so many different places where you can grab education.     I knew nothing about private equity firms.  I just went on online research took a few classes online classes on private equity firms and start them and I didn't know much about the finance world took a few classes on finance so I'm always learning I'm always evolving. So at the end of the day if you're the same person you were even a week ago something's wrong you should always be constantly looking to evolve and push forward. So  I'll say no more than that.    Definitely. So I want to ask you as a property manager or somebody that started this as a property manager what would be the things you think are the most important things to look for when you hire one for your property that you're trying to stabilize?   That's a good question. Very good question as to what to look for property managers. Mostly as syndicators, you should be an asset manager. Every syndicator, every investor should start trying to start an asset management business and grow from there. And so as an asset manager, a syndicator you're really looking when you hire a property manager- you want a property manager to really understand how to navigate those five phases and you really want them to be able to sit at the table with you and look at your project and offer you a management plan. I mean how many property managers have you ever sat with? And I encourage anyone to think about this who or maybe bring it on property management or even interviewing property managers ask or find out how many have ever sat down and brought you a release a framework of a management plan for your project. So if there's a project and I'm bringing a 150 unit project to a property manager I'd want them to at least develop some sort of framework.    Well on that particular property do some research and bring me up to the beginnings of a framework of a management plan on their strategy for this particular property identifying the prospect and its demographic. What are we going to do to increase rents? I mean is that going to consist of changing units that can mean you can watch all my videos you can see what I've done at Park Plaza you can see where I know it's about changing fixtures and vanities and the type of ceiling fans you're putting in all that to attract a certain demographic. And then there's a price associated with that what does that cost? What is the recapture rate on that i.e. payback period on that? I’d like the property manager to be able to identify not just say ‘OK I just handle your headache for you, I'll handle the tenants I'll handle it.’ There's a strategy, people really think a property manager's job is just to kind of just manage it & keep an eye on the farm make sure the wolves stay away from the stable. But that's not property management that's stewardship. If you're a good property manager you're developing management plans. You have a plan on executing the prospect tenant, how to tap into that demographic, how to increase rents over a period of time, how to forecast market conditions by our competitors in the area. So you're sitting down to the table and you're articulating that to me, whether I already know it or not, it helps me, by knowing that my property managers can articulate that. So that's one of the first things that I'm doing when I'm looking in evaluating property managers.    So let me see if I got this right? You want to see that they've done their homework when they come to speak to you and that they're just trying to sell you themselves. Right? Right.    Yeah I mean I'm not interested, I'm looking here at a fancy brochure on my desk. I mean this is Nathan Johnson he’s the guy that handles all the marketing and branding. I mean you've got a nice fancy brochure, but a brochure won’t manage my property.  I mean, it’s great a brochure- it might open the door for you, might get you a sit, an interview or some sort of meeting for a cup of coffee. But at the end of the day, if I meet with you and we're talking about my property, I want you to come to the table, not with fancy brochures, or a business card I want you to come to tell me what the plan is for my particular property. I mean I'm already going to have one as a syndicator but I want to know that you've taken the time to come and let me know that you've done your homework as well.    Definitely. So I want to thank you for coming to the show today and dedicating your time. I know you're a very busy man and so let me ask you what are the best ways to connect with your audience. If anybody wants to reach out to you?   Cool. Great. Yeah.  we just launched our new BryanChavis.com - There you'll be able to find me. We're launching our new coaching programs I actually have a ‘Buy It. Rent It. Profit’ masterclass coming out. That's gonna be awesome. We have our designations, our certified real estate investment specialists and then we have our certified apartment syndicator which is a class designation so we have those two designations that are coming out within the next couple of months. I encourage everyone to go online definitely start with that master class to buy a property if you love the book. You going to love the course the ‘Buy It. Rent It. Profit.’ class should be ready in a couple of weeks and then the designations will follow in a few months. And if you're interested in coaching  I'm always here if you're a housing authority you're a private equity firm. If you're a wholesaler and you're looking to get into commercial, the coaching and consulting that I offer I highly recommend that and then the ability to also we offer templates and white labeling and licensing. So if you're a startup company you're looking for instant credibility you can license my brand and we can help you with your direct mail pieces in your sites and stuff like that so there's a ton of information if you're interested in actually investing please visit ChavisCapitalRE.com. My YouTube page is BrianChavis.com/YouTube and make sure you can always find me on Facebook and in our multi-family meetups, we do those. We'll be doing them twice a month. We got a next one I believe coming up soon it'll be announced on our Web site and come out to the multi-family meetups- meet other accredited investors and get to know your local investors and your influencers in your market.    Yeah, that's perfect. I got to start looking at your website right now. BrianChavis.com. And it's a beautiful website. It's designed meticulously.    I give credit to Nathan Johnson. He owns a company called Allison’s Alligator- he’s been with me since day one. Well, a really long time and he puts together an impeccable brand and we work together to help syndicators and wholesalers and individuals such as yourself develop their brands. And the idea is to be able to piggyback off- you're never going to be able to get 15 years of experience like I've got. So why not just piggyback off of my experience. Learn from standing on the shoulders of giants. So we definitely offer that to everyone so there is there's really no excuses at the end of the day.    Wonderful Bryan. Thank you for a great interview. And I hope you're going to have a beautiful rest of your day.    Well, thank you for having me. I greatly appreciate you. Continued blessings. Of course- Thank you. You too.    Thanks for listening to the real estate investing podcast with Don and Eden. Stay tuned for more episodes. Till next time.   

Today we take an amazing look at this nation's Christian Heritage as historian William Federer speaks about "The Declaration of Independence." Bill's knowledge of American History is unmatched and many of his books reside in the US Library of Congress!

The Veterans History Project (VHP) of the Library of Congress American Folklife Center collects and preserves the firsthand interviews and narratives of United States military veterans from World War I through the present. In addition to audio- and video-recorded oral history interviews, VHP accepts memoirs and collections of original photographs, letters, diaries, maps and other historical documents from veterans who served in the US armed services from World War I through the present. The Project makes accessible the materials that comprise this important national archive, which contains submissions from every state, and includes the US territories. VHP relies on volunteers, both individuals and organizations, throughout the nation to contribute veterans’ stories to VHP.  Jim Fausone interviews VHP  director Col Karen Lloyd (ret) US Army about how to provide and use the VHP.  

Like it or not, humans have become the dominant agent of change on the planet, and as we proceed further into the Anthropocene period, we have a responsibility to accept responsibility and find a way to gracefully integrate our presence. But what if we are not the only ones who have experienced this phenomenon? What if the process of inadvertent planetary change is universal? What if the climate challenges we face are a natural part of planetary evolution? David Grinspoon is an astrobiologist and award-winning author whose research focuses on the climate evolution of Earth-like planets and the potential for life elsewhere in the universe. David serves as a Senior Scientist at the Planetary Science Institute and Adjunct Professor of Astrophysical and Planetary Science at the University of Colorado, and he has received the Carl Sagan Medal for Public Communication of Planetary Science. He was also the inaugural Chair of Astrobiology at the US Library of Congress, where he studied human impact on Earth systems. David is the author many books, including the ground-breaking Earth in Human Hands: Shaping Our Planet’s Future. Today, David joins Ross, Christophe and Paul to discuss the significance of the study of space in understanding our own planet. He offers insight around our obligation to learn to work WITH the planet, the concept of Great Filter events, and the utility of viewing our current challenges in the context of planetary evolution. David also shares his take on the longevity of civilizations and the growing alignment of local self-interest and global interests when it comes to climate solutions. Listen in for David’s predictions of where we’ll be 100 years from now and learn about the spiritual aspect of his work in connecting us with something larger than ourselves.   Resources David Grinspoon Earth in Human Hands: Shaping Our Planet’s Future by David Grinspoon Chasing New Horizons: Inside the Epic First Mission to Plutoby Alan Stern and David Grinspoon Carl Sagan Pale Blue Dot: A Vision of the Human Future in Spaceby Carl Sagan SETI Institute Our Final Century: Will the Human Race Survive the Twenty-First Century? by Martin Rees Books by Carl Sagan   Connect with Nori Nori Nori’s Crowdfunding Campaign Nori on Facebook Nori on Twitter Nori on Medium Nori on YouTube Email hello@nori.com Nori White Paper Subscribe on iTunes   Key Takeaways [3:33] David’s path to reversing climate change Always been ‘space geek’ Rise of astrobiology in planetary science Influence of Carl Sagan, activism First Chair of Astrobiology (Library of Congress)  [7:13] The significance of the study of space Priceless info about own planet + how it works Other examples of planetary evolution  [10:08] The role of humans in running the planet We have agency, moral obligation to prevent catastrophe Knowledge of Earth gives us responsibility to act  [15:00] David’s insight on the Anthropocene New geological era, humanity as dominant agent of change Not realistic to stop changing planet without mass die-off Learn to work WITH planet, ‘gracefully integrate presence’ [21:12] The idea of Great Filter events (Fermi paradox) No evidence of other technological civilizations May mean most don’t make it through ‘tech adolescence’ Potential that others struggling with similar issues Inadvertent planetary change = stage of evolution Sign of maturity to realize impact, change behavior [28:52] David’s take on the longevity of civilizations Useful time scale of 10K years recorded human history Leverage technology to work for, not threaten survival Hopeful to imagine others have survived challenges  [34:53] The alignment of self-interest and global interests Money to be made in reversing climate change Examples of local innovation that impacts planet as whole [38:57] David’s view of the next 100 years Trends in right direction to minimize damage Equal parts foresight and tragedy (not worst case) Post-fossil fuel world, population will level off/decline [42:48] The spiritual aspect of David’s work Makes us feel connected to things larger than selves Redefining selves as species = spiritual challenge Tipping points in physical and social systems Daily activities informed by fact that global species

What you’ll hear in this episode: • How you can create a pause between your initial experience of an emotion and your reaction to it, and how doing so will allow you to cultivate more self-compassion and feel less out of control in your life. • About the differences between pain and suffering — and how our responses to our own internal experiences determine the extent to which we suffer. • The Buddhist metaphor of the two arrows, which illustrates this difference between pain and suffering. • How all of this might apply to the experience of struggling with adaptation to a new country/culture. Resources mentioned in this episode: • I mentioned a quote from Japanese author and marathon runner Haruki Murakami. This quote comes from his book, What I Talk About When I Talk About Running (which is far more about life philosophy than it is about running!). • I mentioned Viktor Frankl, the famous psychiatrist who invented logotherapy and who survived the concentration camps during WWII. To learn more about him, you can go here. The book that I mentioned (and the source of the quote that I cited from him) is Man’s Search for Meaning, which has been named by the US Library of Congress as one of the top 10 most influential books in the United States. • I also mentioned Jon Kabat-Zinn’s book, Wherever You Go There You Are, which provides a wonderful introduction to mindfulness. To learn more about Kabat-Zinn’s work in this area, you can go here. Stay in Touch!

On this week’s episode of A Taste of the Past, host Linda Pelaccio takes listeners on a vivid and far-ranging journey across time and space on the ancient spice trades with Dr. Gary Nabhan. Talking about his new book, “Cumin, Camels, and Caravans, A Spice Odyssey,” Gary draws on his own family’s history as spice traders, as well as travel narratives, historical accounts, and his expertise as an ethnobotanist, he describes the critical roles that Semitic peoples and desert floras had in setting the stage for globalized spice trade. Gary relays to Linda his travels along four prominent trade routes—the Silk Road, the Frankincense Trail, the Spice Route, and the Camino Real (for chiles and chocolate)—and follows the caravans of itinerant spice merchants from the frankincense-gathering grounds and ancient harbors of the Arabian Peninsula to the port of Zayton on the China Sea to Santa Fe in the southwest United States. His stories, recipes, and linguistic analyses of cultural diffusion routes reveal the extent to which aromatics such as cumin, cinnamon, saffron, and peppers became adopted worldwide as signature ingredients of diverse cuisines. With the idea that spices are viewed as political, religious, and cultural tools, Gary and Linda also touch upon how a more virtuous multicultural globalized society may be achieved in the future.
