Going where you're valued means understanding your worth and refusing to stay where you constantly have to prove yourself. You deserve to be around people who appreciate your presence, respect your time, recognize your effort, support your growth, encourage your dreams, and genuinely want to see you succeed. Stop forcing connections that no longer feel mutual. Stop chasing people who only notice you when they need something. Stop giving your energy to people who make you feel unwanted, ignored, or replaceable.Sometimes God allows you to outgrow certain people, relationships, friendships, jobs, and environments because your next chapter requires you to move differently. Walking away does not always mean giving up. Sometimes it means choosing peace, protecting your energy, respecting yourself, and making room for better opportunities.Go where your voice is heard, your effort is appreciated, and your presence matters. Go where communication is honest, loyalty is genuine, and respect goes both ways. Go where people celebrate your growth instead of feeling threatened by it. Go where you can be yourself without shrinking who you are to make others comfortable.Remember, your value does not decrease because someone failed to recognize it. Rejection does not mean you are worthless. Being overlooked does not mean you are incapable. Sometimes the lesson is realizing that you cannot convince everyone to appreciate you.Know your worth, protect your peace, trust God's direction, and keep becoming the best version of yourself. You do not need permission to grow. You do not need to chase people who have already shown you where you stand. Pay attention to actions, not promises. Choose genuine connections over temporary attention, purpose over validation, and peace over popularity.Go where you are respected. Go where you are appreciated. Go where you are supported. Go where you are loved. Go where you are growing. Go where your presence matters. Most importantly, go where you can become the person God created you to be.

Anyone can make money when property is booming, but building a portfolio that can keep performing through changing conditions takes a far more considered approach. Here is how to do it. On today's Built for Scale podcast, Liam Garman and Josh Crealy explore what it really takes to scale a property portfolio, from understanding market cycles to choosing the right assets and structuring an investment strategy for the long term. Crealy shares how his own experience with high-risk development projects pushed him towards a strategy focused on market cycles, with investments in markets including Townsville and Darwin showing the potential of getting the timing and location right. The conversation also turns to asset selection, with Crealy establishing Melbourne as an undervalued opportunity, particularly for units offering strong rental yields and sitting below replacement cost. The pair also examine the importance of having a clear investment thesis and understanding what is driving the decision to build a portfolio, whether that is financial security, passive income, or creating a legacy.

The grass is always greener until you get there and realize it comes with closures, sickness, and a whole new set of problems. I'm coming to you with a slightly scratchy voice and a very real story about childcare curveballs, jealousy, and the myth that one external change will magically hand us freedom, energy, and peace. If you have ever thought, “If only I had that job, that relationship, that schedule, that support… then I'd finally feel good,” you are going to feel seen.We dig into how social media comparison quietly trains us to believe everyone else has it figured out, while we're the only ones struggling. I share what I wish I understood sooner: the “answer” is rarely the thing you are chasing, and waiting for more time is a trap. Instead, we talk about taking small actions that actually build women's confidence and self-confidence, from regulating your nervous system with simple practices to sending the message, posting the imperfect first draft, or starting the project you keep delaying.Then we go deeper with a set of questions you can use right away: are you craving the physical thing, or the feeling you think it will give you? Valued. Loved. Calm. Free. That clarity changes everything. I also share a tough but important reminder after a day of estate planning: life is finite, and I don't want any of us reaching the end wishing we'd taken our shot.If you're ready to stop scrolling and start watering your own lawn, hit play, then share this with a friend who's stuck in “if only.” Subscribe, leave a review, and tell me what small step you're taking this week.Human Design Readings: https://jessclerke.com/programsJoin the Self(ish) Sisterhood: $33/month or $333/year.Sign up for the free Confidently You Mini Course!Thank you for listening to Self(ish) Confidence!

It's about learning from failure, understanding others, and having the courage to share what you've learned.

This episode is a full, unedited live call from inside the Coliving Cashflow Academy. No script, no polish, just Neil Gibb answering members' questions and then dropping something he only worked out in the last few weeks. The first half is open Q&A. A member is mid-purchase on a Subiaco conversion, so Neil pulls up the floor plan live and reworks it on screen: where the ensuites go, how to keep the natural light legal under the National Construction Code, why you run the sewer through the garage, and where the smoke alarms and evacuation lighting have to sit. There's a straight answer on Class 1B and universal access bathrooms (which councils actually ask for it, and what it costs you when they do), plus the hard-won rule on feasibilities: three quotes for every single trade, because the spread between them can be $15,000 on the same job. The second half is the one to sit up for. Neil walks through the REAP strategy (Recycle Equity, Assets Paid off) and how nine bedroom rooming houses in Melbourne are being valued on a 7% cap rate instead of comparable sales. Build for $1.5 million, valued at $1.9 million on completion, refinance and pull most of your cash straight back out. He shows a real JLL valuation on a Geelong block, breaks down a full deal line by line, and explains why every $10 a week you add to a room rate adds around $60,000 to the value of the property. He also covers what the negative gearing and CGT changes are quietly doing to rental supply, why investors leaving the market pushes room rates (and therefore valuations) up, and why he'd still underdevelop a Perth infill site to get better returns than a standard duplex. In this episode: Class 1B, universal access bathrooms, and which councils are really asking Getting feasibility numbers you can trust, and the three quote rule A live floor plan rework on a real Subiaco conversion Using AI to write a scope of works in 15 minutes Fire safety: hardwired interconnected alarms and evacuation lighting Why Melbourne, and why now, on market cycles Cap rate valuations explained, and how they work in reverse The full deal: $1.6M in, $182K gross rent, $1.85M valuation Debt free in 12 to 20 years on room rate growth alone Land tax exemption and planning exempt approvals in Victoria A real pre-construction valuation from JLL on a Geelong block Is subdivision still stacking up in Perth?

Most of us don't wake up one day and decide to run from ourselves. We learn to through pain, fear, and sometimes simply to survive. And over time, that escape can take many forms: another drink, another achievement, another scroll, another relationship, another reason to stay busy.In this episode, we talk with Shannan Kym, an internationally award-winning author, TEDx speaker, and transformational mentor, about the ways we escape ourselves and what we're really running from. Drawing from her own experience with childhood abuse, alcoholism, and an unhealthy relationship, Shannan shares how facing the parts of ourselves we've been avoiding can become the beginning of real change.Together, we explore why temporary relief isn't the same as healing, how stillness can reveal the patterns we've been trying to escape, and why awareness is the first step toward creating a different life. We also unpack identity, self-trust, and what it means to stop running from your pain and start becoming the person you truly want to be.Episode Resources✨ Grab Shannan's Self-Discovery Workbook — a resource to help you unravel your past, reconnect with the present, and create a brighter future.

Anna Vaughn was excited to begin a new chapter of her life - working in a new job running a ministry's internship program at just 19. Unfortunately, what ensued was several years of major spiritual abuse from the leadership of this church - an experience that has led her to where she is today: healed, whole, and transparent. Anna is now the founder of Stirred Up Ministries and the author of Caught in the Crossfire, a book that exposes spiritual abuse by recounting not just her experience, but also the experiences of others who have experienced the same abuse. Unforgiveness and bitterness hold us in bondage, but not the person who has hurt us, she shares. Anna is a testament to what it looks like to expose toxic leadership without being burdened by anger. TAKEAWAYS Unforgiveness does more damage to ourselves than anyone else Spiritual abuse signs may look like: fear, intimidation, and isolation Sometimes very charismatic leaders hide their red flags really well, but that shouldn't stop us from exposing the abuse Spiritual abuse often goes hand-in-hand with a cult-like culture at church

In this episode of Probate Weekly, Bill Gross talks with Edward Winslow of Crete Ventures about how commercial property actually gets valued, what a Broker Opinion of Value tells you that an appraisal might not, and why getting the number right early changes everything about how the estate gets settled.

Do you ever feel like the more people rely on you, the less anyone actually sees you?In this episode of the Building Resilience Podcast, Leah Davidson unpacks the subtle but powerful difference between being needed and being valued — and why this distinction becomes especially loud in midlife. When your identity has been built around usefulness, stepping back can leave you feeling unmoored instead of relieved. Leah explores why this happens at the nervous system level, how usefulness gets encoded as a survival strategy, and what it takes to shift from reflexive helping to genuine, chosen connection.You'll learn why appreciation isn't the same as being valued, how your nervous system tags usefulness as the reliable path to safety, and small, practical ways to interrupt the automatic drive to be needed so your relationships can rest on who you are — not just what you do.We'll explore:Being needed and being valued can feel identical from the inside but are very different.Midlife often exposes an identity that was quietly built around usefulness.Your nervous system encodes usefulness as a procedural strategy for safety and connection.Appreciation rewards output, while being valued honors your presence.Small, quiet interruptions of automatic helping create new nervous system patterns over time.Reciprocal relationships allow your needs to exist alongside everyone else's.LINKS AND RESOURCES:Advanced Training in Nervous System Resilience : https://leahdavidsonlifecoaching.com/coach-training-join COMMUNITYMIDLIFE NERVOUS SYSTEM REWIRE COMMUNITY

What does it actually take for an athlete to feel like they belong?In this episode, Edward Jones II continues the Belonging portion of the BEYOND Player Development Framework by breaking down three foundational elements every athletic program should consider:Seen. Valued. Heard.Being seen can be as simple as knowing an athlete's name, acknowledging them when they walk into the building, and recognizing progress that may never appear on the scoreboard.Being valued means athletes know they matter beyond their athletic performance. It means being honest with them, respecting their goals and backgrounds, and having difficult conversations when necessary because you genuinely care about their future.Being heard means creating opportunities for athletes to communicate what they are experiencing, what they need, and what they believe could improve their experience. Listening does not mean agreeing with every request, but athletes should know their voices matter.Edward shares real examples from his player development career, including difficult career conversations with athletes, advocating for players during fall camp, and how listening to a player during COVID helped create an experience that brought a team closer together.This episode challenges coaches, athletic directors, administrators, and player development professionals to ask:Are the athletes in your program truly seen?Do they know they are valued?Do they believe they are being heard?Belonging is not created through one team-building activity or one motivational speech. It is reinforced through everyday interactions that tell athletes, "You matter here."If you want to strengthen belonging in your program, start with these three areas:Seen. Valued. Heard.To learn more about the BEYOND Player Development Framework or get support implementing it in your program, complete the BEYOND Assessment using the link in the episode notes.Developing People.

Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with Wednesdays on Whidbey and your host, Diane Wyzga. Recently, my dear friend and fellow Camino pilgrim Dennis Pitocco posted an essay entitled Why Is Presence the Most Radical Act of Love? Click HERE to read that essay and HERE for more of his thought-provoking pieces on Exploring Our Shared Humanity, his Substack banner.    The gist of the essay is that our mindful attention to another is a radical gift—so rare as to be almost extinct. What does it cost us to be mindfully attentive to another? Nothing apart from putting aside our self-centeredness and shifting into whole-heartedness. This change in behavior cannot be legislated into practice, like requiring the wearing of seatbelts in a moving vehicle. It does require a shift in us, in a culture that has all too easily been swayed by the siren call of the swipe on a handy device.     Here's a favorite paired exercise I've used for decades while teaching my story skills courses. Each partner is asked to spend one minute talking about something neutral, like their name following a prompt. The listener's job is to listen—with appreciation. When asked, “How did it feel to be listened to uninterrupted, for 60 seconds?” the responses are universally the same: I felt seen, heard, understood, listened to, calm, present, significant, smiled upon, and valuable. All that from 60 seconds of presence. And the intention to Be. Here. Now. Imagine if we could make the time to offer another the gift of our whole-hearted presence. We might turn fear into love, conflict into solutions, isolation into relationship, and more as we can imagine it all taking shape in ourselves, our homes, our neighborhoods, our communities. My teacher, the Venerable Vietnamese Buddhist monk Thich Nhat Hanh taught four mantras to help change us and change others: 1. Dear one, I am here for you. 2. Darling, I know you are there, and I am so happy 3. Dear one, I know you are suffering; that is why I am here for you 4. Dear one, I am suffering. Please help. Imagine if someone said these words to you with the intention to Be. Here. Now. Imagine if you could ask for help from another—and receive it to ease your suffering. As I write this podcast episode I'm reminded of the song, Imagine by John Lennon. Click HERE to listen to him in 1975 Click HERE to read the lyrics of the song, Imagine CTA: Having been fortified to give it a go to Be. Here. Now. do so. First for yourself and then another. And another. And another.

Andy Heim's coaching journey is a powerful reminder that building a championship program takes time.In Episode 317 of the JAMODI Podcast, Belmont High School girls basketball coach Andy Heim shares the story of going from an early winless season to eventually winning an Indiana state championship.Coach Heim opens up about the mistakes he made early in his career, how his coaching philosophy evolved, and why relationships, adaptability, player leadership, and creating an enjoyable experience became essential pieces of Belmont's culture.We discuss how he learned to build his system around his players instead of forcing players into a system, why great players can become culture catalysts, how Belmont uses small “families” to strengthen relationships throughout the program, and why making basketball fun doesn't mean lowering your standards.Coach Heim also shares practical ideas coaches can use immediately—from player goal-setting and team dinners to music at practice, competitive games, leadership opportunities, and finding ways to make every player feel valued.In this episode:Going from a winless season to a state championshipBuilding culture when the wins aren't comingLearning from mistakes as a young head coachWhy Andy stopped forcing players into his systemMaking practice competitive and enjoyableCreating Belmont's basketball “families”Developing player-led accountabilityHelping every player feel valuedBalancing varsity privileges with whole-program connectionBuilding relationships beyond basketballMaintaining confidence during losing seasonsThe importance of supportive administratorsAdapting offense to your personnelCreating player ownershipWhy culture eventually begins to sustain itselfJAMODI stands for Just A Matter Of Doing It—conversations with coaches about culture, leadership, growth, and the lessons learned along the journey.

What is your short-term rental business really worth—and more importantly, what are buyers actually looking for right now? In this episode of The STR Data Lab, CEO of AirDNA Rohit Bezewada sits down with C2G Advisors' Managing Partner Jacobie Olin. They unpack the realities behind today's M&A market for property managers, cutting through the noise of tech buzzwords and surface-level metrics. If you've ever wondered how growth, profitability, and operations translate into valuation, this conversation brings clarity where it matters most.The truth is, buyers aren't chasing shiny tools or trendy “AI-native” claims—they're focused on fundamentals. Clean financials, predictable revenue trends, strong margins, and a capable team still win the day. But layered on top of that are evolving deal structures, shifting expectations around growth, and a competitive landscape where demand for quality operators continues to outpace supply. Whether you're planning to sell soon or just building with the end in mind, understanding these dynamics can shape smarter decisions today.Zooming out, they also explore where the STR industry is headed: continued consolidation at the top, rapid growth among mid-sized operators, and the role technology (including AI) may play in expanding margins—not valuations—over time. It's a grounded, data-driven look at how to build a business that performs now and positions you for future opportunities.You don't want to miss this episode!Key Takeaways:Clean financials matter more than anything else—buyers prioritize clarity, consistency, and reliable performance over flashy tools.Growth + profitability = premium valuations—steady portfolio expansion and strong EBITDA margins drive the most interest.Revenue mix impacts your bottom line—ancillary income (like cleaning fees) can significantly boost margins since it's not shared with homeowners.Deal structure is just as important as price—offers with higher cash upfront and simpler terms tend to win over complex, contingency-heavy deals.AI won't boost your valuation—yet—it only matters if it clearly improves revenue or margins in your financials.Sign up for AirDNA for FREE

In the first episode of our countdown to the Boss Lady Women's Leadership Conference, hosts Teresa Rand and Jennifer Roberts kick off a five-part series inspired by this year's Women in the Workplace survey and the conference theme, "Diving Into Your Potential." Rather than unpacking the full survey data here (that's saved for the conference), Teresa and Jennifer open up about a gap they noticed in the results: the difference between how confident women feel in their own leadership and how often they actually feel valued at work. Through honest personal stories, they explore what it  really means to feel seen, valued, and confident.  CONNECT WITH US:Connect with Teresa on LinkedIn: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/teresarand⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Back Porch Communications (Jennifer Roberts): ⁠⁠https://www.backporchcom.com/⁠⁠Learn more about Boss Lady events and coaching at Ladder Network:  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.laddernetwork.org

Wes grew up moving constantly — different states, different countries, new friends every few years. The one constant was story: books, movies, television. He wrote plays as a kid. He built a career in tech. And the whole time he watched the craft of storytelling get worse while he waited for someone to do something about it. Eventually he realized nobody was coming. So he built it himself: Brotherhood of the Wolf, an independent graphic novel series he describes as Berserk meets Black Hawk Down — published in print only, drawn by professors from one of Italy's serious comic schools, with fifteen issues mapped out and a video game in pre-production. In this conversation: •Why story reaches people emotionally when facts and figures never move the needle •The doorman story — how a consulting firm saved a hotel chain money and cost it customers, because nobody counted what the doorman actually did •What corporate structure does to creativity, and why skin in the game changes how you think •The case for print: first editions, resale value, and why digital ownership is really just renting •Media as diet — what you consume shapes you whether you're paying attention or not •Wes on Hollywood's long record with Muslim and Arab characters, and building the stories he wanted his kids to have •Quickfire round: dark fantasy, Berserk, and the most misunderstood villain in film The takeaway: the people and things a spreadsheet can't measure are usually the ones holding everything together. That's true of a doorman, and it's true of the stories you let into your house.

Being needed is not the same as being valued.

David Bailin argues that investors are overestimating earnings expectations and underestimating the long-term impact of AI. He explains why hyperscalers like Amazon (AMZN), Microsoft (MSFT), and Alphabet (GOOGL) remain attractively valued and why the AI buildout and adoption cycle still has plenty of room to run.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

The standard understanding of life insurance goes like this: you buy a policy, pay the premiums, file it away, and hope it never gets used. Protection for your family if you die. That's it. But that's not what wealthy families are doing. American dynasties, high-profile entrepreneurs, and the country's biggest banks have been using life insurance as an active wealth-building tool for generations. Not as a replacement for investing. Alongside it. Valued specifically for what it gives them that a brokerage account never can: liquidity, access to capital, and control. https://youtu.be/773_NczfBww What follows unpacks the actual mechanics and why none of it is reserved for people with a Rockefeller-sized net worth. Table of ContentsThe core ideas:How do the wealthy use life insurance?The Trust and Insurance CombinationThe Cascading EffectThe Problem: Sequence of Return RiskThe Buffer in PracticeDo rich people have life insurance?How do the wealthy use life insurance?What is the Rockefeller strategy with life insurance?Why do banks own so much life insurance?Is using life insurance to build wealth instead of investing?What is the volatility buffer strategy?What is a family bank, and how does it work?Do I have to be wealthy to use this strategy? The core ideas: Wealthy families treat life insurance as a managed asset, not a forgotten product The Rockefeller blueprint combines trusts and whole life to create a cascading, multi-generational capital system Banks hold roughly $250 billion in life insurance for the same reasons: liquidity and stability Walt Disney, Ray Kroc, and others borrowed against policy cash value to fund businesses banks wouldn't touch Dr. Wade Pfau's research shows that whole life as a volatility buffer outperforms the "just invest the premium" alternative A family bank isn't a metaphor. It's a functioning system anyone can build. How do the wealthy use life insurance? Wealthy families use whole life insurance as the foundational “before asset” — a private, liquid capital base that comes before investing and supports every other financial move. They value it for tax-advantaged cash value growth, accessible liquidity that isn't tied to market cycles, asset protection from creditors in most states, and above all, control over their capital.  Through a combination of policy loans and trusts, they fund businesses, protect assets across generations, and create a cascading system in which each death benefit replenishes the capital pool for the next generation. The same mechanics are available at any level of wealth with a properly designed policy. How the Wealthy Use Life Insurance Differently Than Everyone Else Wealthy families could absorb financial mistakes more easily than almost anyone. A bad investment, a failed business, a lawsuit. They'd survive. Yet they still put guardrails in place, specifically through whole life insurance. If the people who can most afford mistakes still protect themselves this way, what does that say for everyone else? For someone for whom a serious financial mistake isn't just painful but potentially devastating, the case is even stronger. The mindset shift is this: wealthy families don't see a life insurance policy as a product they bought and filed away. They see it as an asset they manage and deploy. The attributes they value aren't what most people focus on.  They care about accessible liquidity that isn't tied to market cycles, so a bad year in equities doesn't force their hand. They care about asset protection from creditors and lawsuits, which whole life provides in most states (not all). And above everything: privacy, flexibility, and access to capital. Life insurance is private. The only way to know someone owns a policy is if they tell you. That's part of why this strategy stays largely out of view.  Some of the U.S. presidents who have publicly disclosed their assets have shown whole life among them. That's notable, not because presidents are financial geniuses, but because they're disclosing what they actually have. The wealthy don't open with "what return does this get?" They open with control, access, and certainty. That order of questions matters. The Rockefeller Blueprint: Trusts, Policy Loans, and the Cascading Death Benefit The Rockefeller name comes up constantly in Infinite Banking conversations. Almost nobody explains what they're actually doing. The Trust and Insurance Combination Here's the mechanism. The Rockefeller family combines legal structure and whole life insurance. A family bank can be structured in many ways, depending on the family's goals, need for asset protection, and desired level of complexity. It may be as simple as outright policy ownership, or it may involve a trust, an LLC, a holding company, or a layered structure where a trust owns a holding company that owns an LLC designed to manage family capital. The structure can vary, but the purpose is the same: to create a private, liquid capital base using whole life insurance. That capital can then be accessed and directed toward productive uses, such as buying businesses, investing, funding education, or building assets that strengthen the next generation. The Cascading Effect When a family member dies, the death benefit doesn't just get handed out. It's held in trust and distributed according to the family's stated intentions, then refills the capital pool for the next generation, who repeat the same cycle. This is simultaneously a legacy strategy, a banking strategy, a liquidity strategy, and a values-transfer strategy. The trust and the insurance connected together are what make it continuous. Neither piece alone does what both pieces do together. One nuance worth flagging: trusts are not income-tax magic. In most cases, a trust does not eliminate income tax; it simply determines who reports and pays it, whether that is the trust, the grantor, or the beneficiaries. What trusts can do well is provide structure, accountability, estate-tax planning when properly designed, and a measure of asset protection depending on the type of trust, state law, and how much control is retained. That is real value, but it is a different kind of value than people sometimes imagine.  This isn't a strategy reserved for famous dynasties. It works at a personal level too, one generation funding policies for the next, death benefits flowing down to nieces, nephews, grandchildren. Generation One is the hardest. The message isn't that you need to do this at scale immediately. It's about thinking long-term and taking small, high-quality steps. How a Death Benefit Becomes the Next Generation's Foundation The generational laddering concept, developed by Nelson Nash, sits at the heart of any family banking formula. A life insurance policy pays a death benefit. That death benefit funds the premiums on the next generation's policy. That policy pays its own death benefit, which funds the generation after. You can even skip a generation, grandparents to grandchildren. Each cycle creates a larger pool of capital. It's a growing family bank, not a one-time inheritance. The contrast between the two paths is concrete. A $1 million death benefit split four ways gives each child $250,000 outright. No strings. No direction. That's cutting the cord of accountability. The money is gone from the system. Whatever you hoped they'd do with it is just a hope. Hold that same death benefit in a trust, with clear intentions that it continues purchasing life insurance, and you have something different. Accountability with guardrails. Clarity and protective measures built into the structure. Not mandating, not controlling from the grave, but providing guidance and continuity. The goal isn't to control what your children do. It's to give wealth a structure that keeps it circulating in the family rather than dissipating in a single generation. Why Banks Hold Hundreds of Billions in Life Insurance This is the part many have never heard. Banks need somewhere to park their Tier 1 capital. Tier 1 capital is the core equity capital that absorbs losses and prevents insolvency. Regulators require banks to hold it and demonstrate they can access it quickly. What banks have consistently chosen as one of those safe places is life insurance. Bank-Owned Life Insurance, or BOLI, is how it works. Banks take out policies on highly compensated employees and hold the cash value as a capital asset. They use whole life, universal life, and a product designed specifically for banks. As employees age out, they cycle policies onto new people. Regulators cap life insurance at roughly 25% of Tier 1 capital. The numbers, as of June 30, 2025, are not small: Bank of America: ~$25 billion JPMorgan Chase: ~$12 billion PNC Bank: ~$11 billion Truist Bank: ~$7 billion U.S. banks total: ~$250 billion These figures are publicly available via bank rankings at usbanklocations.com, presented here as illustration, not endorsement. The institutions whose entire job is managing capital and risk at the highest level have parked a quarter-trillion dollars here for liquidity and stability. That's worth paying attention to. Not because banks are infallible, but because the reason they use it is exactly the same reason the wealthy use it, and the same reason it's worth considering in a personal financial plan. How Famous Entrepreneurs Funded Their Dreams With Policy Loans Walt Disney wanted to build Disneyland, but the banks said no, so he borrowed against his life insurance cash value.  Capital he controlled, on his own timeline, repaid on his own terms. No restrictive bank covenants, no lost equity stake, no waiting for approval. He used it to help build what became a multi-billion-dollar empire. The key point: he borrowed from his own capital base while the policy kept doing its job....

Blue Origin raised outside capital in its first-ever funding round, valuing the company at $130 billion, according to multiple reports on Wednesday, as Jeff Bezos' rocket company seeks to challenge SpaceX. Blue Origin raised $10 billion in the funding round, $4 billion of which comes from Coatue Management and $2 billion from Bezos himself, while the remaining $4 billion is expected from other institutional investors, the New York Times reported. Several investors are expected to participate in the remaining $4 billion, drawing significant demand, according to CNBC, citing people familiar with the matter. Prospective investors are interested in Blue Origin's future projects, including TeraWave, the company's satellite communications network that was unveiled in January, according to the Times.

Ronald White, guest author, recounts how, in 1848, Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain, known as Lawrence, entered Bowdoin College after years of intensive home preparation in classics and Greek. Raised in Brewer, Maine, by parents who valued the "life of the mind," he grew up with a deep Christian faith and intellectual curiosity. His youth balanced physical activities like sailing and riding bareback with academic rigor, creating a dual nature that combined intellectual depth with rugged capability. After graduating from Bowdoin and the Bangor Theological Seminary—where he mastered nine languages including Arabic—he faced a crossroads between his mother's wish for him to enter the ministry and his father's desire for him to attend West Point. During these years, he fell in love with Fanny Adams, a clever but troubled woman who struggled with depression. Their courtship survived a three-year separation, setting the stage for his life as a scholar-soldier. On Great Fields: The Life and Unlikely Heroism of Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain (1)1863

Steven Dover, chief market strategist at Franklin Templeton, says there is still more upside to the market, based on earnings growth, noting that the economy and stock market have been resilient due to the "phenomenal" profits companies have been generating. Dover notes that the market is fully valued, but not expensive; "We think earnings this next year could be [up] 15 to 20 percent, so the market could follow that without being more expensive." Dover, who is also the head of the Franklin Templeton Institute, notes that the earnings growth has been greatest among small caps, which is why he is leaning in that direction, and he advocates for fixed income as ballast for portfolios now; ;he had previously lightened up on the Magnificent Seven and other market leaders, and he says that the market has relaxed on those stocks, which may create targeted buying opportunities. Kevin Dreyer, co-chief investment officer for value at Gabelli Asset Management — part of the team running Gabelli Equity Trust and other closed-end funds — discusses how he is finding value looking for names that are "differentiated and not highly correlated" to the stocks that have been leading the market's return to record levels. Specifically, Dreyer says he is looking for businesses that are "A.I. resilient" and able to withstand and/or benefit from the development of artificial intelligence. One area he cited as particularly attractive is sports and entertainment, because " You can't have an algorithm or chatbot replicate the New York Knicks … but you and I can go out and buy MSGS, which owns the Knicks."  Plus, Todd Rosenbluth, head of research at VettaFi, turns to a trending part of the market and makes an actively managed Fidelity small- and mid-cap fund his pick for "ETF of the Week."

What if building generational wealth wasn't about where you started—but about the decisions you make today? In this episode, Wendy Yee and Evon Mattison share how they grew from single-family investing into a multifamily portfolio of more than 600 doors valued at over $100 million. Drawing from over 40 years of combined real estate experience, they discuss their transition from LPs to GPs, the lessons learned from market downturns, the importance of transparency and credibility when raising capital, and why consistency, discipline, and taking action matter more than waiting until you're ready. They also reveal how they attract investors, build lasting relationships, leverage social media and education, and use multifamily investing as a vehicle to create freedom, stability, and a legacy that outlives them. If you're an investor or entrepreneur looking to scale your impact, strengthen your mindset, and build wealth with purpose, this conversation delivers practical insights you can apply immediately.5 Key takeaways from this episode1. Wealth Building Starts with Intention and Action Wendy and Evon emphasize that building generational wealth isn't about coming from wealth—it's about taking consistent action, staying disciplined, and committing to a long-term vision. 2. Credibility Is Earned Through Transparency Investors trust operators who openly share both wins and losses. The couple explains how honesty, transparency, and investing their own capital helped establish trust with investors. 3. Capital Raising Is a Skill That Can Be Learned Despite years of real estate experience, they initially felt uncomfortable raising capital. Through education, mentorship, and consistent practice, they learned how to confidently present opportunities and build investor relationships. 4. Strong Fundamentals Matter More Than Chasing Deals Their investing philosophy is rooted in conservative underwriting, risk management, and letting the asset speak for itself rather than pursuing deals simply to increase unit counts or transaction volume. 5. Relationships Drive Long-Term Success Whether with investors, partners, or tenants, genuine relationships are at the center of their business. Personal connection, consistent communication, and serving others create trust that compounds over time.About Tim MaiTim Mai is a real estate investor, fund manager, mentor, and founder of HERO Mastermind for REI coaches.He has helped many real estate investors and coaches become millionaires.

In this Mindfulness in Action episode, I'm exploring what it means to not only add value, but to let ourselves feel valued.So many of us are working hard to matter. We're trying to contribute, perform, improve, achieve, help, and show up for other people. But even when we are adding value, we may not actually let the feeling of mattering land. We move so quickly that we miss the evidence that we are seen, appreciated, and needed.This episode is deeply personal for me. I share a reflection on the loss of Isaac Prilleltensky, whose work on mattering has profoundly shaped my life, my research, and the book I'm writing. Isaac embodied mattering in the way he made people feel seen and valued, and his encouragement helped me keep going when I needed it most.From there, I guide you through a short mindfulness and reflection practice to help you remember a time when someone made you feel valued. We'll practice noticing not just the thought of that moment, but how it felt in the body. The warmth, lightness, relief, energy, or connection that can come when we allow ourselves to receive care, recognition, or support.Because mattering is not only about what we give, it's also about what we are willing to receive.Top 5 TakeawaysMattering has two sides: It includes both adding value and feeling valued.Many of us struggle to let feeling valued land: Compliments, help, encouragement, and recognition can be uncomfortable to receive.Feeling valued is embodied: It can show up as warmth, lightness, relief, energy, or a sense of connection.Accepting help allows others to add value too: Receiving is not a burden; it can deepen connection and mattering on both sides.What we focus on, we begin to notice: Practicing awareness of where we feel valued can help us see more evidence of mattering in everyday life.LINKSWhat It Really Means to MatterHow to Build a Life of Contribution with Tom RathOther Mindfulness in Action episodes--------------The Grow the Good Podcast is produced by Palm Tree Pod Co.
