Tailor your approach accordingly. Ask About Their Journey: Send an email upfront asking where they are in their learning process. This helps you position the conversation at the right level. Skip Basic Discovery for Vetted Prospects: If they already use a competitor, focus on their current solution's gaps and ideal outcomes instead of re-explaining the category.

On Monday, Bloomberg News broke the story that Chinese officials were considering allowing Elon Musk to buy TikTok—something that, if it happened, would be earth-shaking for a whole host of reasons (though Elon, Inc. listeners heard us discuss the possibility months ago). Host Max Chafkin talks to Bloomberg social media reporter Kurt Wagner about what a Musk-owned TikTok could mean for the US (and China). Then Bloomberg political writer Joshua Green joins Chafkin and Musk reporter Dana Hull to unpack the ongoing MAGA feud between two of America’s most famous far-right figures: Musk and Steve Bannon.

Patrick discusses the latest episode of Weaponized Podcast with Jeremy Corbell and George Knapp where they reveal what they are alleging is the first-of-its-kind Underwater UFO Video (USO). AND they give a special shout-out to Patrick & Vetted.

Today on Sense of Soul we have Huenu Solsona she is a spiritual seeker, mother, entrepreneur, and co founder of Orykl, the world's first digital platform connecting you to vetted spiritual practitioners.  In 2009, Huenu's brother, Pablo, died in a microlight accident. This loss shook her to the core, leaving an indelible mark on her soul. It was a moment that shattered her world, yet amidst the pain and grief, it sparked a spiritual journey that she is undoubtedly grateful for, and that equipped her with the power to manifest her dreams - making Huenu who she is today. Orykl came to Huenu during a meditation session - a "divine download" sent from a higher consciousness, if you will. The spiritual practitioners whose insights I adored often struggled to turn their passions into profitable careers. With a background in launching successful business ventures, I understood these struggles, and was compelled to create a marketplace for them – a platform allowing everyone access to gifted individuals.  Huenu invites you to join her on your own transformative journey through Orykl. With the expertise of their healers and therapists, you too can unlock the power of spirituality. It is her dream that everyone who engages in our community walks away with a genuine soul connection to the universe, and to each other. Together, igniting profound change, driving a ripple effect that touches every corner of our world.  Visit www.orkyl.com www.senseofsoulpodcast.com

SERIES 3 EPISODE 59: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:44) SPECIAL COMMENT: "GARBAGE" IS STICKING TO THE TEFLON DON AS SCANDAL WORSENS; 'COMEDIAN' WANTED TO CALL KAMALA HARRIS THE C-WORD:  The Madison Square Garden “Puerto Rico Is Garbage” disaster is not only NOT going away; it is still getting worse, with the news that Trump staffers VETTED that statement AND the tasteless reference to Latinos entering the country and the rest of the Tony Hinchcliffe comments and Hinchcliffe's script originally included a line in which he dropped a c-word in describing Kamala Harris. The news site “The Bulwark” is reporting that, and that Trump staffers directed Hinchcliffe to take it out… BUT that they missed the anti-Hispanic material or as they have now claimed Hinchcliffe ad libbed all that even though the video clearly shows him reading his material off the same teleprompter everybody else used. Day three of Trump's self-immolation among Hispanic voters who make up twelve percent of the electorate – one WEEK before the election and no sign that it – like every previous racist Trump controversy – is actually abating. STILL the lead story at the New York Times – at one point it had SIX front page stories – AND at the Washington Post – AND on the Fox News talk shows AND at the Wall Street Journal AND at the ultra-conservative Washington Examiner AND when the Trump campaign's defense is ‘well at least he didn't call her a rhymes-with-bunt like he planned' they have actually stepped neck high in it, especially since the pro-Trump PAC run by Elon Musk posted tweets based on the C-Word. Literally, says “The C- Word.” Even the fig leaf usually accepted by the bothsidesist media looking for a way – SOME way, ANY way – to avoid slamming Trump – has opened up a whole new line of stories: the disingenuous statement from the conveniently Latina spokesperson disavowing the jokes only served to spin off a series of reports on all the OTHER remarks Hinchcliffe and others made Sunday at Madison Square Garden: from the line about African-Americans and watermelons and the line calling the Vice President's staff “pimp handlers.” And the story is still expanding. Now Joe Rogan and Robert F. Kennedy Junior have been sucked under. AND AS THE VIBE KEEPS SHIFTING TOWARDS HARRIS there are plenty of different flavors of insurrection to worry about but a Contingent Election isn't one of them. B-Block (21:05) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: Trump has a "Sir" story. The Border Patrol agents said he was better on the border than Lincoln. The Don't-Cancel-Your-WaPo-Subscription crowd is missing the point: don't criticize angry ex-customers. If you can, join them. And it's not enough to bully reporters into sanewashing Trump, you must reward them. Thus CNN's embarrassment Dana Bash is profiled in The Wall Street Journal and we are told: This Is Her Moment. C-Block (33:20) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: If Trump ruined Giuliani's life, why was Rudy at Trump's self-immolation at Madison Square Garden? Well among other things I believe Rudy now lives in a hallway at Penn Station so it was a quick commute. Plus, you may not have known but Rudy's been nuts since at least the mid-90's, as I'll tell you.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What's going on in the current short-term rental market? Does it still make sense? And if it does, how do you choose the right market and the right property in a specific market?  Our guest today on the Real Wealth Show, Avery Carl, will answer those questions and others as she delves into an asset class that can be unpredictable, but very lucrative. She'll address how short-term rentals have evolved, where she likes to invest, how to deal with market saturation, what options you have for management, a few tax benefits, and how STRs compare to long-term rentals. Avery went from a $37,000 a year salary to a real estate portfolio of over 220 doors in just five years. That's given her some valuable experience with this asset class. She is also the author of Amazon bestseller: “Short-Term Rental, Long-Term Wealth” and the host of "The Short Term Show” podcast.  We offer property tours in markets that have proven worthy for our investors. And this November 2nd, we'll be hosting one in San Antonio, Texas. We'll be touring finished homes and presenting a new syndicated investment offering for a build-to-rent community. You can sign up for that or any of our other tours at realwealthshow.com, under the Connect tab. We'd love to see you there!  Thanks for listening, Kathy Fettke   LINKS

It's a tough housing market right now for most home buyers, but the age of the buyers having the most success might surprise you. Gen Zers are between the ages of 12 and 26, and research shows that the older Gen Zers between the ages of 19-26 are enthused about becoming homeowners and currently have a higher homeownership rate than earlier generations of the same age. So what's their secret? Hi I'm Kathy Fettke and this is Real Estate News for Investors. Just a quick mention… We are hosting a property tour in beautiful San Antonio, Texas, on Saturday, November 2nd.

While there's no guarantee that properties will increase in value, historically they have over time -- especially in high growth areas of the nation. But if you want faster appreciation, you have to create it. Real estate investors "force" appreciation by increasing the value of a property through updates, renovations, or development. In this episode, my guest Victor Menasce, shares how he forces appreciation on his properties. And he says it all starts with the right mindset.  Victor is a senior partner at Y Street Capital, the President of the Ottawa Real Estate investing Organization, and the host of The Real Estate Espresso Podcast. He's also the author of "Magnetic Capital." You'll also find a wealth of information about growing your real estate business with our new audiobook: “Scaling Smart: How to Design a Self-Managing Business.” You'll find it on Amazon.

A new proposition for rent control is on the ballot in California. Proposition 33, if it passes, would expand rent controls to include single-family homes and newer apartments. Many cities, including San Francisco and Los Angeles, already limit the amount a landlord can raise the rent each year — but for nearly 30 years, California has imposed limits on those limits, via a law known as Costa-Hawkins. That law states that cities cannot set rent control on single-family homes or apartments built after 1995. And landlords are free to set their own rental rates when new tenants move in.    Tenant advocates have been fighting Costa-Hawkins for years, but so far, without success. They tried to overturn it with ballot measures in 2018 and 2020. Lawmakers also tried with legislation. While those efforts failed, Gov. Gavin Newsom in 2019 signed a law limiting annual rent increases statewide to 5% plus inflation. According to the Public Policy Institute of California, nearly 30% of California renters spend more than half their income on rent — which is higher than in any other state except Florida and Louisiana.   But, is rent control the answer? There have been studies that show the negative side effects of rent control, but the Journal of Housing Economics recently published a review of 112 rent control studies, and the results are eye opening, or at least they should be.   Links:   ~~~~ JOIN RealWealth® FOR FREE

Do you have a rich brain? If you don't, you might not have a rich wallet either! It takes a certain mindset to be successful in business, and that includes real estate. If you don't have the right mind-money relationship, you may find yourself sabotaging your wealth-building efforts not just once, but over and over again.  In this episode, you'll hear from Bronson Hill. He's a managing member at Bronson Equity and a general partner in more than 2000 multifamily units worth more than $200 million. He's also the host of The Mailbox Money Show, has spoken with more than 1500 investors, and has raised more than $40 million for his Real Estate and ATM Machine Fund deals. Bronson authored the besting-selling book, “Fire Yourself: Replace Your Working Income with Passive Income in 3 Years or Less” and a new book that's about to be released called “Rich Brain.” Bronson loves to travel and has visited more than 30 countries. He's also a lifelong learner who loves to read and a singer/songwriter who's composed over 75 songs that he occasionally performs in the Los Angeles area. He likes to keep fit and runs every day, and hopes to help end modern day human slavery as a partner with the Dressember organization. Of course, he's able to do all this because he earns passive income from his real estate business. He says on his website: “I believe the goal of generating wealth is not swimming in piles of cash, but in allowing people to more effectively fulfill their purpose in life.” If you'd like to continue reading and expanding your mindset, go check out our new audiobook, “Scaling Smart: How to Design a Self -Managing Business,” so that you can have more freedom to live life on your own terms.

CEOs are predicting the end of remote work. More than a thousand global CEOs participated in a survey and some 8 in 10 of them said remote work would be dead in three years. Several big companies have already issued return-to-office mandates, including Amazon, which has led to an outcry among employees and some creativity in making it “look” like they're in the office when they're not.

How do you build a real estate portfolio when you already have a busy career that takes up most of your time? Former NFL star, Devon Kennard, can tell you exactly what it takes to do that. Devon played for the New York Giants and the Detroit Lions before he signed with the Arizona Cardinals. As a pro football player, he knew his career wouldn't last forever so he carved out just five hours a week to work on his real estate side hustle and turn it into a cash-flowing portfolio that would maintain his lifestyle after football. In today's episode, you'll hear the kind of discipline and dedication it took to put his plan into action, how he's created financial stability with four passive-income investing strategies, the mindset he needed to turn a side-hustle into a financial game plan, and how his efforts have turned out for him and his family. He's also passionate about sharing what he's learned and has written two books to help other people find financial freedom – “It All Adds Up: Designing Your Game Plan for Success” and his newly released “Real Estate Side Hustle: Four Passive Investing Strategies to Build Wealth Beyond Your Day Job.” And he says you don't need a football player's paycheck to do what he has done. You can also learn how to strategically build a self-managing business that's profitable by reading our new book, “Scaling Smart.” My husband Rich and I co-authored the book, which just went on sale September 10th. Bigger Pockets asked us to write it based on our decades of combined experience with our real estate investing company RealWealth. You'll find “Scaling Smart: How to Design a Self-Managing Business” on Amazon or click on the link in the show notes below! LINKS

Many consumers believe we have been in a recession for more than a year, but economists say that's not what the data is showing us. They say consumer's have mistakenly believed the economy is weaker than it is like a “bad vibe” or “vibecession.” But with inflation coming back down to earth and rate cuts on the horizon, those bad vibes are starting to disappear. A recent report on consumer sentiment shows that three out of five Americans mistakenly believe we have been in a recession for more than a year now. The survey was done by Affirm in June with responses from 2,000 adults. The biggest reasons for feeling this way boil down to higher prices and tougher times making ends meet.  Join us for our virtual book launch for "Scaling Smart" on September 21st.

Have you gotten a little dizzy trying to figure out today's multifamily market? Investors have faced significant challenges. In addition to loans that need refinancing at higher rates and higher costs for things like property insurance and real estate taxes, rents have been softening or even reversing because of a massive increase in supply. That's not an easy problem to overcome for many multi-family property owners.   In today's episode, you'll hear from the president of Break of Day Capital, Gary Lipsky. He'll be talking about how investors and syndicators are dealing with challenges like the cost of property management, maintenance, and renovations, what investors should be aware of as they buy into syndication deals and whether lower values are creating opportunities by offsetting higher costs.   Gary has more than 20 years of experience in the real estate industry that includes the founding of a multifamily syndication business with more than 3,200 apartment units. He's the author of “Best in Class” and his newly released “Invest Smart: Spotting Red Flags in Real Estate Syndications,” the founder of Asset Management Summit, and the host of the Real Estate Investor Podcast.    You can find out more about his books at Amazon, along with our new book, “Scaling Smart: How to Design a Self-Managing Business.” They are both at Amazon. “Scaling Smart” went on sale September 10th. My co-author husband, Rich, and I will be hosting a virtual launch party on September 21st, with special guests that are mentioned in the book and plenty of time to answer your questions. It's free to participate.

We are counting down the days until the release of our new book, “Scaling Smart: How to Design a Self-Managing Business.” My husband Rich and I co-authored the book to share what we have learned about business strategy as the co-founders of real estate investing company, RealWealth.  In this episode, we talk about some of those strategies with a woman we mention in the book – entrepreneur, real estate investor, and venture capitalist, Lisa Song Sutton. Before she launched and scaled several companies in various industries including real estate, she was a former litigation attorney in Las Vegas and a former Miss Nevada. She is currently a General Partner for a $20 million venture capital fund called The Veteran Fund which invests in veteran-led companies. You'll hear about some of the key concepts we focus on in our book and the real life experiences that have helped all three of us get clear on our life and business goals. Among the key concepts in this interview: how you choose the right business for profit, impact, and purpose, how you find a partner that shares your vision, how you can deal with shifting priorities, how to make it happen as a husband and wife team, and much much more! We did this interview during the 2024 Limitless Financial Freedom Expo in Dallas where we were also celebrating the release of our new book (September 10th). Bigger Pockets asked us to write the book based on Rich's 20 years of experience as a business coach and our combined 40 years of experience creating and scaling our own company.

Should you hold on to that long-time rental or trade it in for something else? Many people say you should hold forever, but is that always the best way to go? In this episode, you'll hear when it might make sense to break that rule for the sake of better cash flow or better appreciation. We call this process “portfolio rebalancing.” Among the topics we discuss are property performance reviews, portfolio diversification and risk management, the 1031 exchange, investing at different life stages, and when it might be best to sell or to hold on to your investment properties for the long-term. Joining me to discuss your options are two of our experienced and long-time RealWealth investment counselors, Joe Torre and Aristotle Kumpis. They are active investors who have been advising RealWealth investors for many years. Joe began investing in real estate in 2004 and has a track record of success in both up and down markets. Before he came on board with RealWealth he worked as a data analyst for tech companies in Silicon Valley and served in the U.S. Marine Corps. He has an MBA in Finance from Columbia University Business School in New York. He enjoys helping people create generational wealth. Aristotle got his real estate license in 2007 and has been helping investors find cash-flowing rental properties since then. He was inspired by his parents who owned rental properties in St. Louis, where he grew up. He attended the University of Missouri in Saint Louis and moved to Southern California in 2002. He also likes to write music and spend time outdoors, especially with his family. During the interview, we mentioned a recent webinar on real estate lending with Richard Advani of Guaranteed Rate.

San Francisco is now the first city in the nation to ban rent-setting technology such as that offered by RealPage.

Are you familiar with the book Rich Dad, Poor Dad? How about the investing game Cashflow Quadrant? If you know about either of these, you're probably also familiar with the legendary Robert Kiyosaki who wrote the book and created the game to teach people about wealth creation and real estate investing.    He was on our show many years ago at the very beginning of our podcast. Now, as we celebrate our 1,000th episode, he's come back on to our show to talk about the importance of financial literacy and the building of wealth through the responsible use of debt. He also discusses the transition from smaller deals to bigger ones for bigger financial results.   Kiyosaki encourages people to expand their financial horizons by attending events like the upcoming Limitless Expo. He will be a featured speaker at the event along with dozens of other entrepreneurs, investors, and educators. My husband Rich and I are among those participating and presenting at this Expo! So please join us! The Expo is taking place from August 29th through the 31st in the Dallas suburb of Grapevine.
