In this episode of "Philosophy from the Front Line," hosts discuss the concept of the "En Route Rally Point" and its relevance to veterans transitioning to civilian life. They explore the impact of leadership decisions on morale and credibility, using examples from military experiences. As we continue with the show, we will tie the lessons learned from the uniforms and inform our listening audience on additional skills that are transferable into the corporate workforce. One story involves a battalion commander removing vending machines, which was met with resistance due to a lack of alternative food sources. Another example highlights the positive impact of a leader who implemented a sterile uniform policy and PT competitions to foster discipline and camaraderie.

Michael Hoffmann, also known as “Mr. Passive,” is a real estate investor, vending entrepreneur, and advocate for time freedom through smart investing. Starting from humble beginnings in rural Iowa and a 60-hour-a-week coaching job, Mike leveraged a $70,000 fixer-upper into a thriving portfolio—including real estate, vending machines, e-commerce, and Bitcoin mining. He now teaches others how to create scalable passive income using creativity, trends, and delegation.     Make sure to download our free guide, 7 Questions Every Passive Investor Should Ask, here. Key Takeaways Mike started his investing journey with a $1,200/month salary and turned a small rental into a life of financial flexibility. He follows a 30-60-90 rule to make every investment passive within the first 90 days. Vending routes and unattended retail offer high-margin, scalable passive income opportunities beyond traditional real estate. He uses trends and automation—like AI-based vending—to identify untapped markets. Asset flexibility and time buyback are central to his investment philosophy.     Topics From $1,200 a Month to Passive Investor Started in college athletics making just $1,200/month while working 60+ hours per week. Bought a $70K turnkey rental and later scaled through 1031 exchanges. Focused early on delegating property management to stay hands-off. Creative Wealth-Building with Real Estate Leveraged 1% rule and capital gains to buy a condo, then pivoted to short-term rentals in high-growth areas. Built and rented out an ADU in Oregon to double rental income from a single lot. Invested in land outside city limits and is developing duplexes permitted as townhomes for long-term flexibility. Unattended Retail: The 21st Century Lemonade Stand Owns 100+ vending machine locations generating $100K/month. Transitioned from old-school machines to smart, AI-enabled retail kiosks offering allergy meds, protein bars, and over-the-counter products. Hires route operators from the gig economy and uses GMs to stay completely passive in the business. Passive Income Across Asset Classes Invests in Bitcoin mining, e-commerce, and unattended markets. Believes in analyzing trends and entering where customer needs are evolving. Inspired by a vending machine experience at an airport that charged $3 for water—realized someone was profiting while he was grinding.

Metro Express : des ‘Automated Vending and Validation Machines' vandalisées et Rs 70 000 volées by TOPFM MAURITIUS

This is  Part 3 of the mini-series that covers the story of Bobby Baker. This mini-series is part of a larger series covering  Billy Sol Estes, Mac Wallace, Bobby Baker and other members of Johnson's Texas inner circle.  All of these  men  were quite intertwined around Johnson at the time of the assassination. They  were involved in circumstances that were closing in on Johnson too and that provided him great motive in the killing of the President.  The story is extraordinary.  Today's episode covers the civil lawsuit filed by Capitol Vending against Serv-U corporation. A lawsuit  whose allegations revealed a kickback scheme involving Baker, his law partner Ernest Tucker and lobbyist Fred Black.  The civil suit touched off a firestorm of press investigation that led to other allegations which surfaced. This led Senator John J. Williams of Delaware to begin his  own review, requesting that Baker address the matter with the Senate leadership. From Lyndon Johnson's vantage point, here was Bobby  Baker who was known as Little Lyndon and was perhaps the second most powerful man in the senate. He was  Bobby Baker the Secretary to the Majority, the right hand man of Lyndon Johnson in the senate....and just months before the assassination, allegations of wrong doing by Baker begin to surface. Baker declined to meet with Senators, and alternatively chose to resign his position as majority secretary of the  Senate. The abrupt resignation did not stave off the inevitable,as Williams and other republican senators called for a formal Senate investigation into the affairs of Bobby Baker. They got it. And thus began an eighteen month internal Senate investigation conducted by the Senate Rules and Administration Committee along with  investigations by the FBI, the IRS and  a grand jury investigation as well. Investigations that eventually became a prelude to  Baker's ultimate prosecution by federal authorities and a conviction and jail sentence.    Baker's resignation from one of the most powerful positions in the country happened just prior to the President's assassination and created a growing rumor that the scandal would lead back to Johnson and result in his political demise or more...  The Republicans smelled blood in the water.  Join us in this third   episode of what is sure to be a fascinating series on another  incredible story that envelopes around Lyndon Johnson at the time of the Kennedy assassination.  Rumors of Johnson's involvement began to swirl almost immediately after the President's assassination and there is a defined school of thought within the JFK assassination research community that staunchly believes in Johnson's involvement. His involvement  in both the assassination and its cover up. Join us in one of the most fascinating story tells of the Kennedy assassination and stick around as we will be returning to the Mexico City series right after we complete this min-series that was spawned by the recent release of the Billy Sol Estes and Cliff Carter tape that the two recorded in 1971. Folks, you just can't write this stuff. Even as early as 1964, rumors and serious concerns over  the lone gunman theory and the evidence that might contravene it,  were becoming a major concern for the government and the commission. Conspiracy theories were contrary to the government's stated narrative from the very beginning. This  real-life story is more fascinating than fiction.  No matter whether you are a serious researcher or a casual student, you will enjoy the fact filled narrative and story as  we relive one of the most shocking moments in American History. An event that changed the nation and changed the world forever.

El Mitos 2.0 de hoy parten de una historia de la redacción de la SER y la empresa Vending S.A. Durante los últimos 10 años, la máquina expendedora de café vending tenía un vídeo que se exhibía mientras se suministraba la bebida. Un vídeo en el que terminaban bailando dos personajes. Eran las primeras personas que los redactores de Hoy por Hoy veían cada mañana al sacar su primer café ¿Qué ha pasado? Que la máquina expendedora ha sido sustituida y la nueva ya no tiene vídeo.  Se acabó el baile y los redactores están tristes. Los protagonistas de ese corto formaban parte de la familia de todas las empresas y espacios públicos  donde Vending tiene máquinas de café. Y a raíz de esta pérdida hemos planteado el mito "personas que no conoces pero que forman parte de nuestra vida"  ¿Y quien ha sido nuestra invitada? La chica que baila en la máquina de café que se llama Julia Viejo y es escritora, editora y traductora. Todos tenemos una persona que forma parte de nuestro día a día  y desconocemos.
