Penny Arcade—poet, actress, essayist, spoken word, video and theatre maker—discusses her trajectory from an immigrant family, originally from Basilicata, Italy, to her upbringing in a working-class Connecticut town to her entry into the art world of New York's East Village. Looking back on her life as a homeless teen in the Village, her discovery by Jamie Andrews who introduced her to John Vaccaro's Playhouse of The Ridiculous, becoming a Warhol Factory Superstar, and her departure to Amsterdam, Arcade narrates the story of how she set off for Formentera, in Spain's Balearic Islands, where she started a school for children there, some of whom were children of drug smugglers. Recounting her return to New York City in 1981 and her split from Vaccaro, which marked the beginning of her independent work, Arcade recollects the state of the various art scenes in New York City during the Reagan era, the loss of friends to AIDS, and the censorship of the era. She vituperates the class divisions within the art world and the Manhattan Downtown art scene into which she never fit neatly, while underscoring her desire to “create theatre for people who had no theatre,” a fact which made her extremely unpopular within academia and among arts administrators because her work challenges these very elite systems. Pondering the values she espouses in her art and the fact that her audience has always been unique in maintaining a shared investment in her performances, Arcade considers how the catharsis in reaction to her art takes place well beyond the theatre hall. As an outsider to the art scene, noting how she hasn't received institutional support and has operated without funding, legacy media coverage, or any form of academic sponsorship, Arcade criticises the state of art funding from even before the 1980s, when the Moral Majority took aim at the art world and at the NEA (National Endowment for the Arts) funding structures. Calling out the academic art world as a “pyramid scheme,” Arcade observes how the academic-produced genre of “emerging arts” has become a way for the elite class to ensure that their children would have a guaranteed “entry level position” post-graduation in the arts akin to the professional tracks for finance and law, proclaiming: “Art is not a profession—it's a vocation.” She also delves into the problems of identity politics that have permeated into arts funding and the art world and culture at large, remarking how these institutions recycle not only the same personas and narratives, ultimately limiting the “professionalised” scope of art. Responding to the recent “queering” of Marsha P Johnson, Arcade argues that Johnson was not transgender but was a drag queen, contending that the only reason why Johnson was recategorised as “trans” is because “Marsha is dead and black.” Get full access to Savage Minds at savageminds.substack.com/subscribe

In this episode, we chat with Anthony Vaccaro, President of The Northern Miner Group, which includes The Northern Miner, Canadian Mining Journal, and Mining.com, some of the most trusted voices in global mining media. We talk about a truly unique initiative; The Great Canadian Treasure Hunt, a nationwide adventure blending Canada's love of exploration with its rich mining heritage. Anthony will share how the idea came about, why it's captured the imagination of so many Canadians, and how it's helping reconnect the public with the importance of mining and its role in our modern economy. We also look at how this initiative highlights collaboration across Canada's mining and investment community and what participants can expect next as the hunt continues. KEY TAKEAWAYS The Great Canadian Treasure Hunt is a nationwide initiative created by the Northern Miner Group to reconnect the Canadian public with the importance and rich history of the mining industry. The hunt involves embedding clues within articles and stories about the mining sector's history and modern relevance, encouraging participants to learn while they search for hidden treasure chests containing gold coins. The top prize is a chest containing 217 gold coins (valued at over $1.1 million), and the hunt has already successfully engaged over 60,000 registered participants and reached over a million Canadians Beyond the treasure hunt for adults, the initiative includes a collaboration with Mining Matters to offer separate, age-appropriate puzzles and prizes BEST MOMENTS "The mining industry has a way of finding you... by far and away the mining sector was the most exciting sector to cover." "We said we're going to go with an emotional connector. People love treasure, people, when they're put in front of it, love gold... We strip that all the way." "This image that maybe I had growing up in Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver, that mining is all dirty and terrible, no... we want people to see that." "We are excited to hand it over to the winner. So, someone's going to find this treasure. We want it found. This wasn't hidden so that no one would find it."

In this episode, Dylan Vaccaro demonstrates Deal Queue, his AI-powered underwriting platform that transforms the grueling 2-3 hour underwriting process into a streamlined 10-15 minute workflow. Through a live demonstration, Dylan shows how the tool parses rent rolls, T-12s, and offering memorandums from PDFs and Excel files, automatically populating custom financial models while flagging common seller manipulations like miscategorized expenses. Angel emphasizes that underwriting should be treated as a living business plan rather than just an LOI tool, while both discuss the critical importance of human verification—AI assists but never replaces the underwriter's judgment. The conversation covers conservative underwriting assumptions, the difference between T-1, T-3, and T-12 statements, and why calculating cap rates on total invested capital matters more than purchase price alone.

What happens when NYC properties drop 30-50% in value and investors can buy buildings for less than the debt—and how do you know when a construction boom signals the market top? In this continuation episode, Dylan Vaccaro reveals how regulatory pressure and investor flight have created unprecedented opportunities in New York City real estate. He explains his "crane theory" for identifying market tops—when you see maximum construction activity in an established city, it's usually time to stop building and start preparing for the downturn. Dylan shares insights about buying properties in bank workout situations, why rent stabilization makes NYC attractive for contrarian investors, and discusses the role of luck versus skill in generational wealth building. The conversation shifts to Angel's mobile home community development in Waco, exploring exit strategies at various completion stages, before concluding with Dylan's AI-powered solution that reduces underwriting time from 2-3 hours to 10-15 minutes.

What happens when a building bought for $10,000 per door gets lost to foreclosure, returned by the bank for free, and eventually becomes worth $1.2 million per unit—and what does that teach us about staying power? In this episode, Angel Williams sits down with Dylan Vaccaro, a New York City multifamily investor who works alongside self-made real estate billionaire Francis Greenberger at Time Equities. Dylan shares his unconventional journey from architecture school to USC's real estate program, through lending and capital raising, to his current role managing acquisitions and operations for a $7+ billion portfolio. He reveals the three cardinal investing principles he learned from Greenberger: control your purchase price, control who makes decisions, and maintain staying power. This conversation explores why Time Equities never sells, how neighborhood gentrification creates massive wealth, and why positive cash flow from day one has returned to the NYC market for the first time in years. [00:01 - 08:00] From Architecture to Real Estate Operations Why Dylan switched from architecture after realizing "the pay of an artist" with engineering skills The three essential syndicator skills: finding deals, raising capital, understanding capital structure How working in BTR lending and private equity prepared him for operations [08:01 - 16:00] The Three Cardinal Principles of Real Estate Investing Why purchase price determines everything about a deal's success potential How control over decision-making separates winning deals from disasters The Clinton Hill story: $12M building lost to foreclosure, returned for free, now worth $1.8B [16:01 - 22:00] Why Buy and Hold Beats Value-Add Flips How time fixes most mistakes in real estate investing Why exit cap rate projections are "always gonna be wrong" The tax inefficiency of forced 1031 exchanges under time pressure [22:01 - 26:25] NYC Market Opportunities and Neighborhood Intelligence Why every deal Dylan underwrites now cash flows from day one (first time in 2-3 years) How Upper East Side demographics shifted from age 65-70 to 35-40 in just two years The art and science of understanding neighborhood gentrification patterns Connect with Dylan: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dylan-vaccaro-4450b9140/ Key Quotes: "The only one thing true about your proforma is it's always gonna be wrong." - Dylan Vaccaro Visit sponsorcloud.io/contact today and unlock $2,000 of free services exclusively for REI Rocks community members!
