Virtually every leader likes to talk about empowering their team. But if you were to ask 10 of them what empowerment actually means, you'd get 11 different answers. Over the years, the concept of empowerment has been dumbed down to make it vague and aspirational. True empowerment is neither of those things.

What do you know about Iran?This article was written by a 26-yr old college student by the name of Alyssa Ahlgren, who's in grad school for her MBA. What a GREAT perspectiveMy Generation Is Blind to the Prosperity Around Us!I'm sitting in a small coffee shop near Nokomis (Florida) trying to think of what to write about. I scroll through my newsfeed on my phone looking at the latest headlines of presidential candidates calling for policies to "fix" the so-called injustices of capitalism. I put my phone down and continue to look around.I see people talking freely, working on their MacBook's, ordering food they get in an instant, seeing cars go by outside, and it dawned on me. We live in the most privileged time in the most prosperous nation and we've become completely blind to it.Vehicles, food, technology, freedom to associate with whom we choose. These things are so ingrained in our American way of life we don't give them a second thought.We are so well off here in the United States that our poverty line begins 31 times above the global average. Thirty One Times!!!Virtually no one in the United States is considered poor by global standards. Yet, in a time where we can order a product off Amazon with one click and have it at our doorstep the next day, we are unappreciative, unsatisfied, and ungrateful. ??Our unappreciation is evident as the popularity of socialist policies among my generation continues to grow. Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez recently said to Newsweek talking about the millennial generation, "An entire generation, which is now becoming one of the largest electorates in America, came of age and never saw American prosperity."Never saw American prosperity! Let that sink in.When I first read that statement, I thought to myself, that was quite literally the most entitled and factually illiterate thing I've ever heard in my 26 years on this earth. Many young people agree with her, which is entirely misguided.My generation is being indoctrinated by a mainstream narrative to actually believe we have never seen prosperity. I know this first hand, I went to college, let's just say I didn't have the popular opinion, but I digress.Why then, with all of the overwhelming evidence around us, evidence that I can even see sitting at a coffee shop, do we not view this as prosperity? We have people who are dying to get into our country.People around the world destitute and truly impoverished. Yet, we have a young generation convinced they've never seen prosperity, and as a result, we elect some politicians who are dead set on taking steps towards abolishing capitalism.Why? The answer is this,?? my generation has only seen prosperity. We have no contrast. We didn't live in the great depression, or live through two world wars, the Korean War, The Vietnam War or we didn't see the rise and fall of socialism and communism.We don't know what it's like to live without the internet, without cars, without smartphones. We don't have a lack of prosperity problem. We have an entitlement problem, an ungratefulness problem, and it's spreading like a plague."See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

When a company proves it can see what others couldn't, the rules of drug development change overnight. Quantum BioPharma announced on May 18, 2026, that patient enrollment has reached the halfway mark in its collaborative imaging study with Massachusetts General Hospital, accompanied by encouraging preliminary results using a novel PET imaging technique capable of directly assessing demyelinated neurons with intact axons. The company's lead drug candidate, Lucid-MS, targets the underlying mechanism of multiple sclerosis—demyelination—rather than merely suppressing the immune system like most existing therapies. With an IND application submitted to the FDA on April 1, 2026, Quantum BioPharma is positioned at the intersection of breakthrough imaging science and first-in-class therapeutics.WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOWImaging Leap: PET scanning with [18F]3F4AP tracer provides up to 10x more accuracy than conventional MRI in measuring myelin damage and repair—potentially establishing a new FDA biomarker standard.Halfway Validated: First cohort successfully imaged at MGH showing robust signal in acute MS lesions; study completion expected within six months.First-in-Class: Lucid-MS targets PAD2 enzyme to prevent and reverse myelin breakdown—preclinical models demonstrated ability to help animals regain lost mobility.Commercial Scale: MS therapeutic market projected to exceed $38 billion by 2030, affecting 2.8 million patients worldwide with no current therapies addressing mobility restoration.STRATEGIC IMPLICATIONSThe MS treatment landscape is defined by what it cannot do. Virtually every approved therapy focuses on immune modulation—dampening the body's attack on its own myelin. But none address the underlying destruction happening to nerve fibers, and none restore lost mobility. Patients plateau on existing drugs, watching disease progression continue despite treatment. It's a multi-billion-dollar market built on managing symptoms, not reversing damage.Quantum BioPharma's approach disrupts that entire model. By targeting protein arginine deiminase 2 (PAD2)—the enzyme directly implicated in myelin degradation—Lucid-MS addresses neurodegeneration at its source. Phase 1 trials demonstrated a favorable safety profile. Preclinical models showed animals regaining the ability to walk. The oral formulation offers ease of administration versus injection-based competitors. And now, the MGH imaging partnership validates a tool that could measure myelin restoration in real time with unprecedented precision.CEO Zeeshan Saeed:“We've submitted the IND, we're at the halfway mark with MGH, and we're seeing preliminary imaging data that validates what we believed all along. This isn't about managing symptoms. It's about restoring what MS patients have lost. If this works—and we believe it will—we're talking about a fundamentally different standard of care.”INVESTOR TAKEAWAYQuantum BioPharma is executing on multiple fronts simultaneously: advancing a first-in-class therapeutic through FDA review, validating breakthrough imaging science with one of the world's premier hospitals, and preparing for Phase 2 initiation in a $38+ billion market with 2.8 million patients. The MGH study reaching its midpoint with encouraging preliminary results confirms the technical viability of precision myelin measurement. The IND submission positions Lucid-MS for near-term regulatory clarity. And the company's focus on demyelination—rather than immune suppression—addresses the core unmet need in MS: disease reversal, not just disease management. Quantum BioPharma offers investors exposure to a potentially transformative therapy at an inflection point in clinical and commercial validation.

Hey everybody! Welcome back to the second and final volume of The Loupe Guroo Musical Experience: The Collected Works! What does Loupe get up to in the second half of his WRYAT run, you ask? Welllllllllllllllllll... The King's crossing was the main attraction Dominoes falling in a chain reaction The scraping subject ruled by fear told me Whiskey works better than beer The judge is on vinyl, decisions are final And nobody gets a reprieve And every wave is tidal If you hang around you're going to get wet I can't prepare for death any more than I already have All you can do now is watch the shells The game looks easy that's why it sells Frustrated fireworks inside your head Are going to stand and deliver talk instead The method acting that pays my bills Keeps the fat man feeding in Beverly Hills I got a heavy metal mouth, it hurls obscenity And I get my check from the trash treasury Because I took my own insides out It don't matter 'cause I have no sex life And all I wanna do now is inject my ex-wife I've seen the movie And I know what happens It's Christmas time And the needles on the tree A skinny Santa is bringing something to me His voice is overwhelming But his speech is slurred And I only understand every other word Open your parachute and grab your gun Falling down like an omen, a setting sun Read the part and return at five It's a hell of a role if you can keep it alive But I don't care if I fuck up I'm going on a date With a rich wife lady Ain't life great? Give me one good reason not to do it (Because we love you) So do it This is the place where time reverses And dead men talk to all the pretty nurses Instruments shine on a silver tray Don't let me get carried away Don't let me get carried away Don't let me be carried away Alright everybody, thank y'a-woooooooolllllllllll for listenin' and loopin' with the guru of loops himself, Loupe Gooru, or Loupothy Albus Severus Gooru for long, or DJ Loupothy Albus Severus Gooru-Coyote for slightly longer! We hope you enjoyed your experience with The Loupe Gooru Musical Experience in its entirety, because this is literally all there is and all there'll ever be. It's too late for us to change anything now, so if you had notes this whole time, you shoulda listened to us and let us know back when we were still on the air sometime during, I dunno, THE PAST SEVEN YEARS?! Loupe would never say this to any one of you ungrateful motherfuckers but you pieces of shit don't deserve him, or any of WRYAT for that matter. Seven fucking years and you couldn't be fucking bothered. Seven fucking years. The reason you think we never have to put up with any of your bullshit is because we make it look like we're not. It's because we care, and we thought you felt the same way. Trust us, we have had to put up with so, so, so much more from you than you could ever, ever, ever know. Oh, don't try to explain yourself now. No excuses necssary. The goddamn show's over now anyway. And good news: you still never have to listen to it! Virtually nothing's changed for you, so sit back, relax and take a minute to just shut the fuck up. Just shut the fuck up. Shut the fuck up, and then howl, damn it! Howl and fuck off forever! (Unless, of course, you did actually listen to Loupe and WRYAT, in which case, thank you so much!)

Steve and Dave Jolliffee realized that driving ranges lacked feedback. Golfers need feedback to improve, so they created a way to get feedback. Dave Young: Welcome to the Empire Builders Podcast, teaching business owners the not so secret techniques that took famous businesses from mom and pop to major brands. Stephen Semple is a marketing consultant, story collector and storyteller. I’m Stephen’s sidekick and business partner, Dave Young. Before we get into today’s episode, a word from our sponsor, which is, but well, it’s us, but we’re highlighting ads we’ve written and produced for our clients. So here’s one of those. [Seaside Plumbing Ad] Dave Young: Welcome back to the Empire Builders Podcast. I’m Dave Young. I’m sitting here with Stephen Semple. Well, actually, I’m not sitting here with him. I see him. He’s on the screen. Stephen Semple: We’re virtually together. Virtually. Dave Young: This is an international podcast. Stephen Semple: It is, actually. It is actually very good. Dave Young: By the way, I know I think the He-Man episode has dropped. Stephen Semple: Yeah. Yeah. Dave Young: The artwork that Matt Burns or whoever did it for that one. Stephen Semple: Yes. Matthew did it. Dave Young: Yeah, that was great. He sent me that. Stephen Semple: Actually, the one that I really like was the one that he did for PT Barnum. I thought that that was fun, where you’re the guy hocking the tickets. Dave Young: I haven’t seen that either. He sent them all to me. For some reason, he sent that one to me. I should probably subscribe to this podcast and listen to it. Anywho, Steve. So, Stephen whispered in my ear the topic that we’re going to cover today, and it’s actually one that I sent him. Stephen Semple: You actually whispered in my ear. Dave Young: Yeah, I did. I kind of did. I was surprised that you were ready to do it. And it’s the story of Rose Blumpkin and Nebraska Furniture Mart. She’s one of my local heroes back in my home state in Nebraska. Stephen Semple: Sorry, that’s not the one we’re going to be talking about. Dave Young: Oh, sure. Stephen Semple: You sent me another idea. That one, I’m going to do, but I don’t have all the research on it. Dave Young: Okay. So we have to start all over. Stephen Semple: No, or we could just keep going with this, Topgolf. Dave Young: Oh, right. Yeah. Stephen Semple: You also sent me… You want to just keep going with this? Dave Young: So now people know that we’re going to talk about Rose Blumkin at some point. Stephen Semple: Yes. Yeah, sure. Dave Young: That’s a cool story. You just want to make me look as scatterbrained as I really am. So, Topgolf. Stephen Semple: Authenticity. We’re just going for authenticity here. Dave Young: Yeah. So, Topgolf. I just thought we were talking about this other thing that I sent you. So yeah, I’d love to talk about Topgolf. So both of these businesses, since we’re not talking about Rose Blumpkins, I’ve been to each of them one time. Stephen Semple: Okay. Dave Young: My experience level is X equals one. Sample equals one size. Stephen Semple: Okay. Dave Young: But I saw the story about Topgolf or it was a video, wasn’t it? Stephen Semple: It was a video that you sent me. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It was super interesting and so much so that I ended up, as soon as it was done that night I had some time. I did a bunch of research, wrote it up and said, “We’re going to cover it,” because it’s a very interesting story. Dave Young: To me, if you want the TLDR version of it, the guys that started Topgolf thought they were in the golf business. Stephen Semple: Yes. Dave Young: No, they weren’t. Stephen Semple: No, they weren’t. Dave Young: They had no idea what business they were in. Stephen Semple: And this is the reason why I wanted to talk about this. So this is an idea, Dave, that you suggested to me. And when I looked into the history, there’s a couple of twists in this that I thought were super interesting that every business could learn from. And yeah, the story of this is that they didn’t really understand what business they were in. And when they found out what business they were in, they became super successful. And then the company that bought them lost sight of what business they were in and failed. It’s this crazy thing. So before we get into that, I want to hear about your experience at Topgolf because you went there and you’re not a golfer. Dave Young: No, I’m trying to think of who we went… It was a work thing I think. Stephen Semple: Perfect. Dave Young: And that’s typical, right? It was a bunch of us from work. It was actually a super hot day here in Austin, but they have giant fans blowing on you. Stephen Semple: Yeah. Dave Young: They’re the kind of business where, I don’t know. There’s lots going on and they’re pulling money out of your pocket all different directions. Right? Stephen Semple: At their heart, they’re a driving range. And it was started. The first Topgolf was built in Watford, England in 2000 by two brothers, Steve and Dave Jolffi. And these guys were golfers, tinkers, problem solvers, but they were not backed by big money. They were not from the golf industry and they were not tech guys. They were just two guys went to a driving range and saw a problem. Dave Young: Yeah. They’re like, “I don’t know where my ball went.” Right? Stephen Semple: Right. Start off with the problem of golf lacks feedback. So when you go to the driving range, you’re practicing, yet you don’t know how far the ball went, how straight it went, nothing, no feedback. Dave Young: Yeah. Stephen Semple: So over the course of three years, they played around and figured out how to embed a chip inside the golf ball. Remember, this is pre 2000, pre iPhone, pre all of that. The whole idea of something being able to track the speed of something really new, right? Dave Young: Yeah. Stephen Semple: You got to remember that. So the goal was to track every shot. The other thing they needed to figure out was targets that could take impact and speed and a system that translate this and the scores and make it durable enough to do it outdoors. So, 2000, Watford, England, it was ahead of its time. It was kind of cool and no one cared. Dave Young: Sure. Stephen Semple: Traditional golfers didn’t see the point. Non-golfers were not drawn in. It was not quite a sport. It was not quite entertainment. It stood for nothing. Being different does not equate into being desired. Being cool doesn’t equate into being desired. So they had to ask themselves this question. Why is this not catching on? So here’s what they did. They reimagined the entire environment and experience. They created covered base, so the weather didn’t matter. They put in lounge style seating, driving range. You can kind of all sit together. Dave Young: You could go with your friends. Yeah. Stephen Semple: Make it social. They put food and drink in. So people stayed longer. They put music in energy. It now became fun. Suddenly, it was a place to hang out. It was a night out. People came in groups. Non-golfers like Dave Young came. Dave Young: That’s right. And so you think about a driving range and it’s like going fishing. That’s interesting. It’s solitary. It’s, I’m going to go hit a bucket of balls. And usually what that means is I’m not necessarily working on my game, I’m just going to get inside my own head and process and think. And if you just do that on a park bench, people think you’re stalking. It reminds me of Thomas Edison. He used to walk down to the end of a pier near his office and sit on a bench with a fishing pole and he never had a hook on it. He would just sit there with a fishing pole and people would leave him alone because he’s fishing. Stephen Semple: Because he’s fishing. That’s interesting. Dave Young: Versus if you go stand on the end of a pier without a fishing pole and you’re standing there for hours, people will start to wonder what you’re thinking about, what’s your plan there. So driving range versus going with a bunch of friends to a “driving range,” two different things. Stephen Semple: Well, and here’s the other thing is a non-golfer doesn’t want to go out on a golf course because that’s hit the ball six inches, hit the ball. But to a driving range, sure, because it doesn’t matter. It doesn’t go anywhere you sit down, the next person hits. Dave Young: Yeah. It’s just a new version of putt-putt, right? Stephen Semple: Exactly. So this created this environment where you didn’t really need to know how to swing the club to have a good time. It turned a driving range into a social outing. It became entertainment, not sport. So enter Eric Anderson from West River Group, private equity company. Eric came across this idea and thought it was perfect for the US market. They invested a bunch of money in the company, took it to a new level with high-end restaurants and bars. And then in 2005, they opened a location in Texas. And it was a crazy hit. When it opened, there was hours long lineup. It was nuts. By 2010, it was a cultural phenomena. It was a hit with millennials. And this is a big deal because in 2010, golf is in a decline and it’s not attracting a younger audience. So suddenly, you’ve got this driving range, which is attracting all these people and it’s attracting millennials. In an October of 2020, during the pandemic, Callaway who had been actually an early investor in this, Callaway announces they’re purchasing the remaining 86% for $2 billion. Dave Young: And so here’s the thing, Callaway’s in the golf business. Stephen Semple: Hold that thought. Dave Young: Yeah. Stephen Semple: Hold that thought. Hold that thought. Yeah. No, seriously, hold it because yes, you’re right. Callaway’s in the golf business and Callaway’s looking at this and going, oh my God- Dave Young: Here’s the future of golf. Stephen Semple: … the group that we’re trying to attract. Here’s the future of golf. Not only did they buy Topgolf, they rebranded Callaway to Topgolf Callaway. And initially, there was a bump in sales of Callaway stuff because they had to also supply the clubs and the balls to these venues. And they were expanding the venues like- Dave Young: Why would they have any other clubs? Stephen Semple: Right. And they were expanding the venues like crazy. And they launched new products like quantum drivers and Chrome tour balls, things that were fun, right? Fun. Because they would put those fun things into the driving range, into the Topgolf driving range, and people would love it. So they thought this would be a fun thing to take to a golf course. Dave Young: But? Stephen Semple: Here’s the core problem. Dave Young: Stay tuned. We’re going to wrap up this story and tell you how to apply this lesson to your business right after this. [Using Stories To Sell] Dave Young: Let’s pick up our story where we left off and trust me you haven’t missed a thing. Stephen Semple: Here’s the core problem. Callaway’s in the sports business and this was an entertainment venue. Dave Young: That’s right. That’s right. Just because I went to Topgolf once doesn’t mean I ever went back to a driving range. I used to golf. I used to golf. Stephen Semple: Right. Dave Young: And a driving range was always… It was a good introverted experience, but I wasn’t any good at golf. And I bowled for a while too, and I quit both sports the same year because my average was the same in both. Stephen Semple: So the bowling average was pretty good. Dave Young: You think about that, right? Low hundreds in both sports is no good. Stephen Semple: So the interesting thing, because again, initially, the numbers looked good, they launched all this stuff. It looked great, but beneath the surface, the synergy was actually a financial illusion because the core problem is Topgolf was an entertainment business. Topgolf was a restaurant and a bar with a driving range attached. Topgolf was not a driving range with a bar attached. Dave Young: I wouldn’t even- Stephen Semple: Millennials who came out… Yeah. The people who came out and swung a club, it did not convert into people going to the golf course and buying Callaway equipment. Dave Young: I think it’s a stretch calling it a driving range. I think it’s- Stephen Semple: Fair enough. Dave Young: It’s an electronic game that you use golf clubs and golf balls to try to score and win and play. Stephen Semple: Fair enough. Dave Young: I don’t think anybody… Well, maybe people- Stephen Semple: Would I’ve not been to one. I only saw pictures of it. Dave Young: Maybe people that go to Topgolf will go to a driving range to practice. I don’t know. I don’t know. The problem Callaway had was they weren’t converting people into actually going to a golf course. Stephen Semple: Correct. Dave Young: And buying golf clubs. Stephen Semple: Right, because they saw the business wrong. And what ended up happening, the business started actually declining because even the changes that they started making to the facility was through the eyes of a golfer and this being a sport, not this being entertainment. Now what ended up happening is when it all spun apart, Callaway ended up offloading the business to Leonard Green and Partners for basically a billion dollars. So they lost it. Dave Young: They lost a bit of dough. Stephen Semple: Well, they lost a billion on the purchase. And in addition, they had invested a ton of money in building these things out. This was a huge loss for Callaway. Dave Young: And so the thing that they misread was thinking that this was the future of golf and we’re going to sell a lot of clubs because of this. We’re going to sell a lot of clubs, all the things that we manufacture for the golf world. And I think of the golf world, and I think of almost like a white shoe law firm. I don’t think the people that spend big, big money playing golf or spending big, big money on Topgolf or vice versa. Stephen Semple: Well, there may be- Dave Young: If you’re a scratch golfer, you could go to Topgolf and clean up on your friends. Stephen Semple: Well, what I’m going to say is people who are already golfing would go to Topgolf because it’s fun. People who aren’t golfers who go to Topgolf are not going to suddenly become golfers. And that’s what Callaway thought was going to happen. All golfers will go to Topgolf, but not all Topgolf people will become golfers. And what I find that’s so interesting about this- Dave Young: Golf was the entry point for Topgolf, but Topgolf turns out is not the entry point for golf. Stephen Semple: Great. Dave Young: Yeah. Stephen Semple: So the thing I find that’s really interesting about this, Steve and Dave, the founders, initially failed and became successful when they changed how they looked at the business and said, “This is an entertainment business. This is not a golf business.” Then Callaway buys it thinking it’s a golf business, not an entertainment business, and the whole thing spun apart. And I sit there and I go, “This is where understanding a history of a company is so important.” If Callaway had asked Dave and Steve one question, “What was the insight you had that made this successful?” And they said, “This is not about golf, this is about entertainment.” And if they’d listened to it, the outcome of this would have been really different. The DNA of the business was that lesson that was then ignored by the acquirers. Dave Young: It was Margarita’s and hot wings. Stephen Semple: Yes. Dave Young: It was hanging with your friends. It was a different version of a pool hall. It was a different version of a bowling alley or- Stephen Semple: It’s a different version of David Busters. Dave Young: Yeah. Stephen Semple: Yes. It’s a different version of all those things. That is the environment in which they were operating. Dave Young: And I think if you take it just even at a slightly deeper level, it’s an extroverted golf experience. Stephen Semple: Yes. Yes. Dave Young: There are many, many golfers who golf to get away from everyone. Stephen Semple: Yes. Dave Young: Right? There are some that golf to be with their buddies or for business purposes or whatever. But I know so many people that will golf by themselves early in the morning. You couldn’t drag them into a Topgolf because just loud rock and roll and- Stephen Semple: Here’s where you could drag them into a Topgolf if you said, “Hey, let’s do a corporate retreat. Let’s do a team building thing. Let’s do something.” Because your choice is this. You can go to a restaurant, you can go to a bar or you can go to this thing where you do something together as a group of people. And frankly, that ended up being a lot of the Topgolf business was that exactly. Dave Young: Oh, sure. It might’ve been Julie’s work. I don’t think it was Wizard Academy. We thought about doing a Christmas party at Topgolf and then we just decided that’s too much money on stuff that none of us really like anyway. But it’s an outing. Stephen Semple: Right. But it’s an outing and it’s say you had an office where half the people were golfers and half weren’t. It was a way better outing than going to a golf course because everyone would now have fun. Dave Young: Yeah. Stephen Semple: So here’s the lesson. I want to leave our listeners with a lesson here because here’s what I think it is. If your business is struggling a little bit, sometimes you have to really understand what is your business. Jewelers who sell engagement rings are not in the diamond business. They’re in the connection, love, commitment business. If you are in the marriage business, you’re in the commitment business, you’re in the love business, you’re not in the sparkly diamond business. And to me, this was the most interesting example of looking at it going… And one could say, “Well, sports entertainment, kind of the same.” No, they aren’t. They live in different places in the human mind and are thought about differently. And when you’re considering doing something are in completely different worlds and you need to understand the business you’re in. Because that was the only thing that changed. The only thing that changed was that discovery that made them successful and the loss of that discovery that blew them apart was that one thing. Dave Young: And I think they’re still doing well, right? Stephen Semple: Oh, they’re actually doing well because the private equity company that bought them, guess what they knew? Dave Young: Entertainment. Stephen Semple: Like bought it from Callaway. What freaking business they were in. Dave Young: The two guys that invented it, right? A casino group would have been a better purchaser than Callaway. Stephen Semple: Well, yes. And if you actually take a look at- Dave Young: Callaway never should have bought it because they didn’t- Stephen Semple: Callaway should never bought it. And the company that bought it actually has a lot of entertainment businesses. So it’s going to do great. Dave Young: So the two guys that founded it, how much that Callaway money they walk away with? Stephen Semple: I was never able to figure out how much of the Callaway money that they walked away with other than they did very, very well and went on to invest in some other businesses. Dave Young: They’re doing fine. They’re doing fine. Stephen Semple: They’re doing fine. Dave Young: They’re living a good life. Stephen Semple: Rumors have it because I wasn’t able to find exact numbers, but rumor has it that… Because remember, they got two payouts. Payout number one was a private equity company bought them. I was never able to find out for how much. They still had ownership in the Callaway. Rumor has it that they walked away with a billion, something like that. Dave Young: I’d split a billion with you, Stephen. Stephen Semple: Yeah, there you go. That there’s some walking around cash. Yep. Dave Young: All right. I got an idea for us. All right. Are you in? Just say if you’re in, because this is a new business idea. Stephen Semple: Okay. There we go. Dave Young: Top bowling. You throw a bowling ball as far as you can and try to hit a target. Stephen Semple: Yeah. You know what? The targets would have to be really close. Dave Young: Yeah. There’s margaritas, there’s hot wings, burritos. Stephen Semple: Yeah. Alcohol and throwing bowling balls. I don’t know if should go together. Dave Young: I’m just saying. Live targets. Wait, that’s not a good idea. Well, next time you’re in Austin, maybe you and I should pop on over to Topgolf and have some hot wings. Stephen Semple: Done. Let’s do it. Dave Young: All right. Stephen Semple: Let’s do it. Awesome. Dave Young: Thanks for telling the story at Topgolf. I look forward to hearing what I have to say about Nebraska Furniture Mark at some point. Stephen Semple: All right. Awesome.

Do to some technical issues in the original file, this is a re-posting of Episode 405 Any debate about the best pitchers of all time includes Satchel Paige on everyone's shortlist. Virtually everyone who saw Paige pitch or hit against him thought he was at least in the discussion. But the nature of his career, taking place in the Negro Leagues, the Caribbean, and across America on barnstorming tours, renders much of it opaque and relegates so much of his story to the annals of legend, rather than fact. Former SABR President, Bob Davids Award and Henry Chadwick Award winner Mark Armour is trying to change that. His incredible work provides an interactive visual representation of Satchel's career for the first time, matching every confirmed game he pitched to points on a map. It's maybe the best way to cut through the myth and get to the essence of who Satch was, a man who almost did pitch forever, and almost every day. On the 100th anniversary of Satchel's pro debut, Mike and Bill talk with him about this remarkable project, which can be accessed here. Plus, happy birthday to Noodles Hahn and Amos Otis! And farewell to Ken Clay and Larry Stahl.
It's Thursday, April 30th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark Algerian authorities have shut down virtually all Protestant churches Muslim authorities in Algeria, Africa have shut down nearly all Protestant churches in the country since January 2025. The finding comes from a new report by the European Centre for Law and Justice. Algeria's Christian community has been steadily growing since the 1990s. Most of these believers are evangelical Protestants. However, the North African country imposed restrictions on non-Muslim worship in 2006. And most Protestant churches lost their legal status in 2012. These Christians now have little to no freedom of expression in the Muslim-majority nation. The report stated, “Any expression of Christian faith may be regarded as . . . an offence against the precepts of Islam, and may result in prosecution.” In Matthew 5:10, Jesus said, “Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of Heaven.” Kenyan court rejects abortion as a “right” A court of appeal in Kenya ruled against abortion last Friday. The court struck down a 2022 high court ruling that declared abortion was a constitutional right. However, the constitution of the East African nation states that every person has the right to life and that life begins at conception. Last week's ruling affirmed that abortion is not a fundamental right. Calum Miller, a pro-life doctor and ethicist, wrote on X, “This is a HUGE win in one of Africa's biggest legal cases ever.” United Arab Emirates wants exporting oil independence The United Arab Emirates, which borders Oman to the east and northeast, and Saudi Arabia to the southwest, is withdrawing from the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries, or OPEC. The major oil producer made the announcement Tuesday and plans to withdraw on May 1. OPEC has limited the United Arab Emirates' oil production to about three million barrels per day. The Emirates wants to reach five million barrels a day by next year as global demand increases. OPEC is led by Saudi Arabia. The group used to control over half of the world's oil production. Now, it controls less than a third of the production. The United States has become one of its biggest rivals in recent years. King Charles III emphasizes Christian faith before Congress Britain's King Charles III addressed the U.S. Congress in Washington, D.C. on Tuesday. It's the first time a British monarch addressed Congress since Queen Elizabeth II did so in 1991. King Charles emphasized international cooperation between the United States and the United Kingdom as well as the shared faith of the two nations. Listen. CHARLES: “Mr. Speaker, for many here, and for myself, the Christian faith is a firm anchor and daily inspiration that guides us, not only personally, (applause) guides us not only personally, but together as members of our community.” “So, to the United States of America, on your 250th birthday, let our two countries re-dedicate ourselves to each other, in the selfless service of our peoples, and of all the peoples of the world. God bless the United States and God bless the United Kingdom.” (applause and cheers) Psalm 33:12 reminds us, “Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD, the people He has chosen as His own inheritance.” Supreme Court ruled in favor of Christian pregnancy centers The U.S. Supreme Court ruled unanimously in favor of a group of Christian pregnancy centers yesterday. The ruling allows First Choice Women's Resource Centers to challenge the state of New Jersey in federal court. State officials hit the pro-life group with an unconstitutional, coercive subpoena. Attorney Erin Hawley with Alliance Defending Freedom said, “In this resounding victory, the Supreme Court held to its long-standing precedent of recognizing that the Constitution protects First Choice, and its donors, from demands by a hostile state official to disclose donor identities and contact information.” Protestantism's net gain in Latin America And finally, Pew Research released a report on how religious switching has affected Protestants and Catholics. Religious switching refers to when an adult identifies with a religion that is different from the one they were raised in. Catholicism has lost more people than it gained from religious switching in nearly all surveyed countries. People who leave Catholicism tend to become Protestant or religiously disaffiliated. Meanwhile, Protestantism has seen a net gain in about as many countries as it has seen a net loss. In particular, Protestantism has had a net gain in Latin America, which is comprised of 20 countries, primarily Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean, and South America.

Keith shows how simple buy-and-hold real estate can be a powerful path to long-term wealth. He explains how the tax system and inflation often reward property owners—especially those with fixed-rate debt and rental income—turning modest rent increases into outsized gains in cash flow. Keith also explores how broader economic forces and neighborhood trends shape real estate markets, and why even an extra $1,000 a month in passive income can meaningfully increase your freedom, reduce reliance on a single job, and move you closer to financial independence.

Keith Weinhold. Learn how rent inflation makes real estate investors wealthy. Do certain grocery stores in your neighborhood stoke real estate prices, then how just $1,000 of extra monthly cash flow can be surprisingly life changing. Today, on get rich education, Keith Weinhold 0:24 Let me ask you something, if you've worked hard to build wealth, is your money positioned to actually support your goals? A lot of accredited investors leave capital sitting in cash because it feels safe, but inflation and missed income opportunities can quietly erode its value. Freedom. Family investments offers freedom notes for investors seeking structured income backed by real estate. It's a straightforward approach built on real assets, not speculation and full disclosure. I'm an investor myself. What I like is that their team walks you through how it all works, so you can decide if it aligns with your portfolio and income goals. Every investment carries risk and nothing is guaranteed, but with a track record of consistent on time investor payouts, they built real credibility. Go to freedom.

You Chris, Keith Weinhold 1:44 Welcome to GRE I'm your host. Keith Weinhold, it's the show that coined the phrase real estate pays five ways. This is get rich education. You learned how to work at your job. The reason we're here is to make you aware that capital compounds labor doesn't, and that's almost why you have to be an investor today. A couple weeks ago, we had tax day in the USA, and that's not quite a holiday. Virtually no one celebrates it. Yes, here in our 250th year of existence as a nation that erstwhile mentioned semi quincentennial. How did America go from fighting a revolution over a 2% tax on a breakfast beverage at the Boston Tea Party to what we pay today? Have you really processed what this has come to now we're taxed when we earn money, taxed when we spend it, taxed when we save it, taxed when we invest it, even taxed when we die with it. And that's just the start. Think about your typical day, your routine. We commute to work in a car, were taxed to register driving on roads. Were taxed to build fueled by gas that's taxed again and then often paying tolls on top of that. Well, those taxes are supposed to maintain the infrastructure, like bridges, highways and tunnels, but yet, they already have billions of taxpayer dollars allocated to them. Then we arrive at an office that's taxed to exist inside a business that's taxed to operate that requires permits and licenses that act like other layers of taxation. When we finally get our paycheck, our employer matches payroll taxes on top of our wages, just incredible. And at the end of the day, we go home to a property we're taxed to own every single year, purchased with income that was already taxed in the first place, and somehow all of this is considered normal. Here's the turning point. Most people when they realize this, feel frustrated and saddened and even victimized. But instead, real estate investors flip the frame from victim to strategist, the same system that taxes seemingly everything quietly rewards those who own assets through depreciation, we report a loss even when the property produces real cash flow. Last week, I told you how you can specifically lower your property taxes step by step, then through mortgage interest and operating expenses, we can reduce that amount of our income that's even taxable at all through long term leverage, we're often repaying debt with inflated dollars, while our tax burden stays surprisingly low, and then it gets even more power. Powerful, more advanced real estate investors use a cost segregation and bonus depreciation to pull years of deductions forward into today. And it's something that's not really that sophisticated or tough to understand either. And then when we sell a property 1031, and 721, exchanges help us defer the capital gains tax. And when you start to think about it, could these turnabouts even get us patriotically excited for a dare I say, semi quincentennial. Keith Weinhold 5:36 our system of taxation, it can feel punitive. Some high earners lose more than 55% of their income to taxes, both federal and state. Real estate investors don't just earn gains in income. We reshape it. We continue to thrive in a tax system that rewards ownership. Not only is wealth built from owning things rather than having a high salary, tax breaks are gained by owning things rather than having a high salary. And now it's somewhat common knowledge that war leads to inflation. The latest Middle East conflict entails a lot of military spending, and it's been made worse by disrupting an energy producing region. Four weeks ago, I told you about why wars are inflationary and just how bad it can get. That is why the first major wartime inflation reading that we got was so telling. And wow, inflation grew at the fastest annual rate from one month to the next since the pandemic spike back in 2022 it went from 2.4% up to now 3.3% just like that. And with more inflation poised to come along, even if the war winds down, and I want to talk more about how this benefits you shortly. And yes, if you're a newer listener, you're not used to inflation benefiting you, but it benefits the educated and the aware. GRE listener. And first, here's what fewer people pay attention to. M2 money supply that's jumped 4.8% annually to a record of almost $23 trillion now the money supply, this is the 24th consecutive monthly increase the supply was only about $5 trillion back in 2000 10 trillion by 2012, 15 trillion in 2020, and then the pandemic made the money supply explode, and it's almost 23 trillion today. And what does this all mean that the US dollar is losing purchasing power at a historic pace, because, look, inflation is actually not rising prices. The thing that's now up to 3.3% the CPI. Rather, inflation is an expansion of the money supply. It inflates. That is the very etymology of the word people often overlook that. That's why I'm talking about the historic expansion rate of the money supply, and how that can show up in higher prices later. High prices are not inflation. Rather, they are a consequence of inflation. And I want to tell you more about what this means to you, and explain how this builds your wealth in a new way. But first, I mean, my gosh, have you been as flabbergasted about inflation as I am, just at the consumer shelf and aisle level in a store, and I'm a guy that likes to spend money, yet I've got to say sticker shock. It still gives me pause when I'm in a store, even on the cheapest of items, I recently went inside a gas station convenience store after I filled up a regular size York Peppermint Patty, 1.4 ounces cost $3.19 this consequence of inflation has left me slack jawed, but already was a Slack jaw however, has it left you slack jawed? All right, let me tell you about how the wildly overpriced York Peppermint Patty makes real estate investors rich in their sleep. Did you know that the classic economist, Milton Friedman, discussed the concept of get rich. Education's inflation, Triple Crown, essentially. Now we didn't call it that. In fact, he discussed it before GRE existed in 2014 let's listen into this. Friedman won a Nobel Prize in 1976 I'm going to guess that this is him speaking in about 1980 essentially, he. Discuss the first two crowns, which are also the ones that homeowners with a mortgage benefit from which are asset price, inflation and debt debasement. This is about two minutes in length. Speaker 3 10:11 If I ask people, are you in favor of inflation or not? Everybody is against inflation. But when I explore a little bit further, if I say to people, tell me, have you gained from inflation? Oh, no, you say I haven't gained. And yet, the fact is that a great many people have gained from inflation. There are many, many people who have benefited. Of course, the major gainer from inflation is the federal treasury, as I've already said, but almost everybody who has bought a home in the past 30 years has gained from inflation. He was able to borrow on a mortgage, which inflation has paid off, along with paying off the government debt, so that almost all homeowners in this country are beneficiaries from inflation. Indeed, one of the things that makes inflation such a bad social disease is precisely that it tends to be divisive, because some people do very well during an inflation period, and some people do very badly. And as a result, the population gets split into people who are seeming in great prosperity and people who are in great distress. When most people say they want to stop inflation, what they mean is that they want the prices of the things they buy to go down and the prices of the things they sell to go up. But since what one man sells is what another man buys, that's a neat trick, if you can do it. And as a result, people aren't really serious when they say they want to stop inflation, certainly not in the early stages, not before they fully understand, not before it's gotten to the point where it is really creating serious social problems. Everybody wants to stop inflation at somebody else's expense. Keith Weinhold 12:11 That was classical macro economist Milton Friedman discussing the rarely talked about benefits of inflation. He also served as an advisor to President Reagan and to British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher Friedman extolled the virtues of free markets and minimal government intervention. Well, yeah, he discussed the first two crowns of get rich, education's inflation, triple crown. So let me discuss the third one, because you benefit from this when you rent out property. And what's interesting about what I'm going to tell you is that this example is going to make it more apparent than it ever has to you, that rent inflation makes landlords rich in their sleep. In fact, the positive effect on you is even greater than I thought I double checked these numbers I'm about to share with you before I came on the air, because I didn't expect this high of a degree of cash flow enhancement. And also, I was talking about what I'm going to show you on YouTube earlier, and it generated a negative, biting comment from a viewer. I'll tell you about that, but yeah, I showed this to a guy that's been investing in real estate for 36 years, and he didn't even understand this. Here it is with general monetary inflation. Rent inflation is a consequence. So let's keep this simple. Say that you charge rent of $2,000 and that could very well be a realistic rent amount for a single family rental property that our GRE investment coaches help you find today, although the average is probably a little less than that. So in any case, $2,000 rent. When you subtract out your fixed rate mortgage payment of $1,000 and your operating expenses of $800 This leaves you with $200 of monthly cash flow. We'll say that's your scenario today. Next rents rise 3% This means you're getting $2,060 now. Doesn't sound so exciting, yet your mortgage payment stays locked in at $1,000 inflation can't touch it. That's the key to this. Your operating expenses also rise 3% up to $824 This leaves you with cash flow of 236 okay. So what happened there is your cash flow went from 200 up to 236 that's not a 3% gain, inflation gain 3% this is an 18% increase in your income. 200 up to 236, an 18% cash flow spike off just a tiny rent adjustment will extrapolate that effect. Right across your portfolio. I mean, this is like your annual income going from 100k up to 118k and then compounding like that every single year. That is power, because inflation couldn't touch your fixed mortgage payment. And this is something I've explained before. It's the third crown of get rich education's inflation Triple Crown called Cash Flow enhancement. But it's a better example than I've ever had for it, and it's a germane time to talk about it with inflation on the rise again. Now here's an angle. Does what I just explained feel wrong in any way. The thing is, you aren't fleecing your tenant. It's just an adjustment to inflation, a little 3% bump to them, a big 18% difference to you. You didn't get rich off your tenant. You got rich because, again, you're leveraging the bank's money, but you're doing it in a way that most people don't see or think about and of course, mortgage free owners lose this entire benefit. It is just another way that real estate investors get rich in their sleep. Yet few ever understand how. But like I said, I was talking about this on YouTube just a little bit ago, and a commenter simply wrote, this makes you a bad person. Keith Weinhold 16:27 Now, the viewer of GRE YouTube channel, sometimes it's you, but you know, sometimes it's someone that doesn't listen to this audio show here, where we do more learning, the casual or occasional YouTube viewer. They just probably don't understand all of what you do. But yes, like me, you have probably run into people out there that think that landlords are bad because they charge tenants rent and they adjust the rent as their expenses rise. And some of these people even say something like, I believe housing is a human right. I seem to hear that more and more, okay, that's one thing, but they imply that the taxpayer should pay for their housing. I mean, does that even work over time? You can see how often government provided housing fails and it ends up being exorbitantly expensive when the free market prevails. Instead, you know, I think that this sentiment has gotten a little worse because of the K shaped economy, more people having to sleep in their cars makes those people resentful. America, you know, we're in better shape when we have a strong middle class. What can really help you a lot is if you haven't yet. Finally, watch the three part video series, the inflation triple crown. The video really helps reinforce your learning well, because it's helpful to show numbers on screen, like you can in a video. You can watch that directly by going to get rich education. COMM, slash inflation, Triple Crown, or shorter. You can just go to the abbreviated get richeducation.com/itc, it takes you to the same place. It really shows you how to optimize your income increases and do it the right way. I mean, if someone thinks you're a bad person for raising the rent 3% commensurate with 3% inflation, well, you know what? Then if that person is an employee, should they also feel bad for getting a 3% pay raise at work? Well then they should, right, because they're charging their employer 3% more for their services as an employee. Well, of course, that's okay. So that sentiment doesn't make one bit of sense, all right. Well, let's temper the 3% rent inflation that I used in our example here. There's both bad news and good news around this, because today, rent increases are below average nationally. In fact, Zillow has forecast only a 1.1% rent increase in single family rentals this year. And then the good news is that the average rent increase since 2020 is 6% and we only used 3% in our example. The bottom line here is that few real estate investors ever have the epiphany that cashflow enhancement is yet another significant way that inflation makes them wealthy, and it's just another reason why carefully selected simple buy and hold. Residential real estate makes people wealthy. Just buy and hold you don't have to dig in and do a bunch of aggressive value add or get into a niche like self storage or short term rentals or assisted living homes that you sure can do those things. And there's nothing wrong with niching down. You just don't have to, and sometimes we even discuss those nichey vehicles here on the show. In fact, we've done four episodes on assisted living homes, but it's hard to beat the relative passivity and the durability of simple buy and hold residential not the latest hot thing, not speculation, but just what's proven. But you have to understand these forces and then act on them. I mean, I gave an example there of $200 in cash flow, and since that's only the most visible component of the five ways real estate pays. When you add it all up, you might be getting $1,500 of monthly benefit on a single family rental property that only costs 300k 1500 a month on a 300k property that you might have only put 20% down on. And for that 1500 a month, it might only take one hour per month of your asset managing of your property to get that $1,500 of benefits. So that is $1,500 an hour. That's great, but it's only one hour a month, and that's exactly what makes you want to scale with buy and hold property as soon as you get into a lot of real estate niches, which, again, it can be worthwhile, whether that's self storage or assisted living homes or something like that. Well, now it's more like an active business that you have to run, and you're probably going to spend substantially more hours there. But yes, a guy that's been investing in real estate for 36 years. Did not understand cash flow enhancement from Rent inflation until I showed this to him and watch it all. He watched the three part video series, which, again, you can watch for free at get rich education.com/inflation. Triple Crown or shortened simply, get rich education.com/itc.

Keith Weinhold, I'm here in Las Vegas today and staying at the Bellagio with a terrific fountain view room. Yes, the paradox of having a giant water show every 30 minutes in the middle of the Mojave Desert, as it is today, just up the street at the Venetian the big Bitcoin 2026, conference kicks off. I might attend some of the sessions, and I might not. While I'm here in Vegas, I'm more focused on spending time with my brother's family. I know I've mentioned to you before that they live in nearby Henderson, Nevada, and I come here pretty often. You could call me a real estate investor. That's crypto curious. I own a little Bitcoin because I think it has some compelling value propositions as well as a number of problems. I think, like a lot of people, I have more questions about Bitcoin than I do answers, and each time I get a new answer, it just prompts three new questions. Now I plan to shop at Trader Joe's shortly. I'm kind of a weirdo here in Vegas, in the sense that I don't gamble, and rather than eating every one of my meals out, I like to be a little healthy shop at a grocery store and bring good food back to the fridge in my room. Well, how? Do certain grocery store chains impact local real estate prices. And you might have heard about this before, but there's a good new study about it that just appeared in the USA Today. And I kind of like the USA Today, because you can easily find a USA Today article where a columnist wrote a story about me as well. But what happened is an analyst matched more than 32,000 store openings to property prices over 50 years. And one conclusion found that homes in the same zip code as a trader joe's saw their values rise about 6% faster than the national average over three years. Another study found that over five years, home prices near Trader Joe's rose by 49% compared with 45% for homes near Whole Foods and 58% near Aldi. I wouldn't have expected that Aldi is a low cost bargain grocery store. Now there are a couple twists here. First, a higher end grocery store, like Whole Foods, that might very well correlate with a good, more affluent neighborhood, sure, but it also might reflect the fact that home values are high, and that usually is not profitable for long term rentals. And the other takeaway is that grocery stores don't actually cause price appreciation. Instead, they reflect it. These grocery chains, they really invest heavily in site selection, so their presence signals that an area was already trending upward, even before a Trader Joe's arrives in an area, the median household income in a neighborhood hovers around $82,000 and that was the highest in the chains that were studied with a typical home value of 425k and the flip side is also pretty noteworthy, the study found that Walmarts tend to be built in neighborhoods with an average household income of only $49,000 and home values of under 200k plus the home price appreciation Proximus to a Walmart, it ends up trailing the national average by 4% over three years. So really, can we say then that the K shaped economy runs through the grocery aisle? I want to get back to discussing your wealth shortly, but first, let's have a checkup on the economy that you're invested inside every day. Over the past year, the US economy has continued to do well, which has surprised some people, some saying that the economy seems to defy gravity. I mean, look at this point. It has withstood chaotic tariff changes, labor supply shocks, swings to the stock market and then a kinetic war on top of that. And how is it pulling this off? Probably starting with AI investment, including all the data center building you see taking place technology innovation and a consumer that you know, it's funny all these consumer surveys where the consumer feels negative, probably because they keep seeing higher prices, but yet, even though they feel negative, oh, they just keep spending more anyway, the unemployment rate is still really low. The AI build out is significant, and that drives jobs and rents and incomes realize, though, this is a new infrastructure build out. This is substantial, just like railroads in the internet were, and companies racing not to fall behind in the AI boom, that's exactly what fuels the economy and productivity and therefore supports real estate. It's similar in spirit, to the.com boom, really, but this time, there's real revenue, and it ALL Fuels wage growth, which is an antecedent to rent growth. And by the way, have you ever noticed how economists and corporations, they're so addicted to growth in the notion of growth, that if something goes down in value, they call it negative growth. What is negative growth? That's always been a funny phrase to me. Don't you mean a decline? Negative growth? That's kind of like calling growth a positive decline. That's nonsense. Some people are allergic to saying that something is a dip or decline, so instead, they say that it's negative growth. That's sort of like how companies they don't want to say that they're undergoing a round of layoffs instead of layoffs. Oh, they say that we are right sizing. She should just tell it like it is. Now, when it comes to building your wealth, this. Say that you're more of a beginning real estate investor, say that your income from your job is 100k and you might wonder, if I add, say, five properties each with $200 a monthly cash flow, that equals $1,000 a month. That's an extra 12k per year. You know, that really isn't that much of a lifestyle difference. You know, even though there are four other ways real estate pays, let's just talk about this. That's only 12k per year, on top of 100k You know, I contend that that really does make quite a difference. Okay, if your real estate cash flow gets up to 1k a month, and you might only spend four hours a month managing that. It matters more than you think, because of your 100k of job income. All right, after all, your expenses are taken care of, like you pay for your housing, your transportation, your Trader Joe's, groceries, all of that stuff that you spend on. Well, what's left over your discretionary income? That might only be $2,000 per month. So if you add 1000 to that, that is a 50% increase in your discretionary income. What really matters? That's why real estate cash flow is actually a bigger deal than a lot of people think. You just bought back your time. This can help you replace a second job. This can let you cut back hours or even fund a sabbatical buffer for beginners. That's why even a kind of paltry sounding $1,000 a month in cash flow from, say, five rental doors that can actually be a life changer. When you get right down to it, it really starts to change your control over your time, and an extra $1,000 a month can, of course, help fuel your next investment, if you so choose. But that's not all. A psychological shift begins to happen inside you. You're no longer dependent on one income source. This is really the underrated one, because before $1,000 of real estate cash flow, a job loss that could mean stress and urgency and bad decisions, but afterward, now you have margin. Now you're making better decisions in life. You negotiate better you think longer term. That shift alone improves your entire life. And what else can just 1000 a month do for you an extra 1000, it can give you lifestyle upgrades without guilt. Let's say you do spend some of it that can fund travel without touching savings, that can give you better housing or a better location, that can give you experiences instead of a life of what feels like just bills. And here's the key, it does not cannibalize your future. Just $1,000 a month gives you options, like we say around here, don't live below your means. Grow your means. I mean, if you're a beginner, this is something that you could have in less than a year. That extra 1k that comes whether you work that day or not. And for a more advanced investor, you can imagine what multiples greater than 1k per month do. So can you see how everything compounds here? Capital compounds labor doesn't earlier, I discussed how even a 3% rent bump can increase your cash flow 18% all right, and then your cash flow has a greater impact than you thought, because it is discretionary income where a small change can make a world of difference in your life. And when you layer all these things together, it almost makes you wonder why more people aren't real estate investors. Well, most people just have not had it explained to them this way before, and then other people give up after starting in real estate because they don't buy the right property in the right market. Keith Weinhold 34:16 Here at GRE we really help you avoid those mistakes. And in fact, let me give you an example of what I mean. This can really help. Redfin reports that national home prices have jumped up again, rising 2.1% annually, but yet, a place like Florida, they still have year over year housing price declines, not negative growth declines, and that's due to a temporary overbuild, like I've talked about before. But Cape Coral, Florida homes that area has been hit harder than most with more building than most places, they're actually down in price 3.8% it looks like an opportunity, and people say they want an opportunity. What they really want is certainty, and once certainty arrives, the opportunity is gone. Winners often embrace the heterodox. They're willing to lean into the sort of uncomfortable, mildly contrarian, awkward moment right when others are hesitating, some Florida brand new property builders. They're getting creative, and the translation to creative is that they are motivated. They're offering to throw in the kitchen sink and the backsplash. Here's one example, a duplex in Cape Coral, Florida. The listing price is 550k it's in an A class neighborhood. The rent is 3890 both sides of the duplex are already leased, six beds, four baths. It's 2474 square feet. The down payment you can expect to make is 25% the projected cash flow is up to $1,096 per month. Yeah, you've potentially got your surprisingly life changing 1k in cash flow in one fell swoop here and here's where it gets interesting, a 3.75% mortgage rate, buy down and one year of free property management. They're either giving you that or take $25,000 cash instead and structure your own advantage. All right, that's what this certain builder is offering. Now, a reputable builder, in fact, they've been a guest on the show here before. You can push the envelope a little further than that. I encourage you to make an offer below the list price on these property types. Yes, offer lower than the 550k how much lower should you go? That's where a free chat with our investment coach gives you an inside edge, because, see, they know what other offer amounts were accepted previously by these sellers, so they know where the real flexibility is, and they've got all kinds of what I'll call specific deal knowledge like this that you're just not going to find anywhere else. Our coaches can also help you with other inventory, if it better meets your personal objectives than something like a Florida new build duplex. Usually, those places are in the Midwest and South, from Ohio out to Missouri and Georgia out to Texas. In full disclosure, what I just described is a better deal than any Florida properties that I personally own myself. Now it is clearly a buyer's market in Florida. We're in that fleeting window where long term demand is strong, short term supply is high, and builders are motivated. So take the free consult, or maybe no properties are right for you. Once our coach learns more, if you're interested, we can help you structure a smart offer. Talk to us. We can help you build an entire portfolio, if you so choose, and find the right markets and properties with a management solution, we've got the team and the contacts, you can make your process easier than guessing and figuring it out on your own. Often like to leave you with something actionable at the end of the show. I encourage you, if you think it's right for you, book time with a friendly GRE investment coach@greinvestmentcoach.com you can find an open slot on their calendar and book it again@greinvestmentcoach.com Until next week, I'm your host.

Interview with Michael Gentile, InvestorOur previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/capital-discipline-dilution-golds-next-bull-phase-mining-alpha-with-michael-gentile-ep1-8247Recording date: 26th March 2026Veteran resource investor Michael Gentile, the largest individual shareholder in over 30 junior mining companies and co-founder of Bastion Asset Management, argues that recent market turbulence masks improving fundamentals across the gold mining sector. Despite gold retreating from $5,500 to approximately $4,500, Gentile maintains this pullback represents healthy consolidation within an early-stage bull market rather than a warning sign of exhaustion.The violent selloff—marked by $11 billion in ETF outflows during March and collapsing investor sentiment—actually reinforces Gentile's bullish thesis. Unlike mature bull markets where every dip attracts eager buyers, precious metals continue exhibiting "wall of worry" characteristics where negative catalysts trigger aggressive selling. This suggests limited speculative excess and substantial room for broader market participation.Gentile's conviction rests on structural fiscal dynamics he believes will necessitate currency debasement. With $40 trillion in US debt generating $2 trillion in annual interest expense, and bond yields rising despite geopolitical tensions, the Federal Reserve faces mounting pressure to intervene. Yield curve control or quantitative easing would suppress rates while inflation accelerates, creating negative real rates historically favorable for gold.Meanwhile, gold producers have achieved unprecedented financial strength. Industry margins expanded from $100 per ounce post-COVID to approximately $2,000 currently, generating free cash flow yields of 10-25% compared to 3% for the S&P 500. Virtually every major producer now operates debt-free while initiating buybacks and dividends—a stark contrast to the empire-building mentality that destroyed value during the 2008-2012 cycle.For junior mining investors, Gentile emphasizes disciplined diversification across 30-35 positions focused on assets with existing resources, infrastructure proximity, favorable jurisdiction, and realistic paths to production. With quality ounces trading at 1-2% of spot gold prices in strategic acquisitions, current valuations offer compelling entry points for patient capital willing to accept that most juniors will never reach production while concentrated winners generate outsized returns.Sign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

For more than 40 years, Michael Rothman has made a career out of data-driven analysis of the global oil market. He has attended every meeting of OPEC since 1986. His clients are a roster of major industry players and governments. State of Tel Aviv and Beyond spoke with Rothman almost one week ago….just as the tensions over the Iranian chokehold over the Strait of Hormuz flared into a full-blown global crisis. Overnight, it seemed, everyone knew about the Strait of Hormuz and Kharg Island - the Iranian island about 400 miles (660 km) north of the shipping choke point controlled by Iran in the Persian Gulf. Virtually all critical infrastructure supporting the Iranian oil and gas industries are based on Kharg Island, making it a potential target for a U.S. military operation. Occupying Kharg - would be a highly complex adventure (which was discussed in our recent podcast with military analyst, Andrew Fox). Rothman, however, dismisses any talk of occupying Kharg as “fantasy.”Michael Rothman takes us through a series of slides and explains the fundamentals of the global oil market and why it is almost impossible to predict how high energy prices may go, when and for how long.This podcast is different from our usual work and will be of interest to those of you who have a business background, and a thing for numbers, graphs, economics, and uncertainty.Please note that all slides presented in this podcast are the proprietary work of Cornerstone Analytics and are reproduced in this podcast with permission from Cornerstone. These slides may not be reproduced and/or distributed without the permission of Cornerstone Analytics.Mike Rothman has researched the global energy markets for more than 40 years. He founded Cornerstone Analytics in 2009, serves as a consultant to government agencies, and has attended Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) meetings since 1986.In 1984, Mike joined Merrill Lynch and became Chief Energy Strategist and Co-Head of the Global Energy Equity Team, which was ranked #1 in the Global Research Survey by Institutional Investor Magazine. Mike was responsible for formulating the company's outlooks for the petroleum and natural gas markets, which were integrated into the firm's commodity, equity, debt, strategy, economic and emerging markets research.In 2005, Mike joined ISI and built the firm's energy research platform.

A few weeks ago, I followed my boys as they walked into the house, and one of them said, “Man, I love home.” And the other said, “Me, too. Home is pretty great.” I tried to play it cool and thankfully didn't cry because that would have embarrassed them so much. But it got me thinking - why do they love home? Why do any of us love being home? I was able to identify a couple of things that surprised me, and I'm excited to share those thoughts with you today.

Today's readings.. (Numbers4), (Proverbs 1), (Luke 15) Today we start reading “the proverbs of Solomon” [v.1] and the key verse that jumps out into our eyes is “The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge; fools despise wisdom and instruction.” [v.7]. Our minds should be filled with awe as to all that God must be!! It is the beginning or foundation of wise thinking. The plea of Solomon is, “”Hear my son, your father's instruction, and forsake not your mother's teaching.” [v.8] The acceptance and absorption into our minds of such teaching and instruction is like wearing “a graceful garland” – yet today how many parents are able and willing to teach true wisdom to their children? If they are able and willing – their children are surrounded by counter influences – but the need for “wisdom and instruction” has never been greater.The message contains a strong warning about the ‘opposite' to true wisdom, the attitude of those who have no time for God – so the blunt warning is made, “if sinners entice you do not consent” [v.10]. Virtually no one thinks of themselves as being a ‘sinner' these days, sin is an obsolete word! But there is no middle course; the book of Proverbs makes this plain, if you are not on God's side seeking his will and guidance in making your pathway in life, you are against him.Wisdom is personified and “cries aloud” – at the same time “scoffers delight in their scoffing.” [v.20,22] But ‘wisdom' says, “If you turn at my reproof, behold I will pour out my spirit to you; I will make my words known to you” [v.23] and we can see that God's Spirit has led to the Bible being written and preserved and our daily feeding on God's word will guide our lives. The chapter fittingly concludes, “the complacency of fools destroys them, but whoever listens to me will dwell secure and will be at ease, without dread of disaster.” May we help each other to have ears ready to listen.

Author Ethan Lohr shares how the four buckets retirement income strategy helps retirees behavior-proof their retirement. Many retirees face one similar problem that they struggle to name: the emotional shift from saving money to spending it. Retirement typically means going from “decades of saving to decades of retirement where you're spending,” and that transition creates real anxiety for people who want their money to last. Ethan Lohr's answer is not just a better spreadsheet. It's a “behavior-proof approach to reliable retirement income,” designed to help retirees make sound decisions even when fear, uncertainty, or market volatility show up. Retirement isn't just a financial transition. It's a psychological one. That mindset shift—from accumulation to distribution—creates anxiety for many retirees. So while the biggest risk retirees often fear is a market drop, oftentimes the greater risk is a struggle to change your behavior. The Real Risk in Retirement Markets fall. Headlines scream. Fear creeps in. Suddenly people make decisions they wouldn't normally make—selling investments, abandoning a plan, or withdrawing too little money because they're afraid to spend. That's why Ethan calls his framework a “behavior-proof approach to reliable retirement income.” The goal isn't just building a portfolio that works mathematically. The goal is building a system that still works when emotions show up. Because they always do. The Four Buckets of Retirement Income To help retirees think through their income strategy, Ethan uses a four-bucket framework. Most people are familiar with the idea of dividing money by time horizon. But Ethan's approach focuses more on the source of income rather than just the timing. The four buckets include: 1. Cash ReservesShort-term funds designed to cover near-term spending and provide stability during market fluctuations. 2. Earned IncomeSome retirees continue to work part-time, consult, or pursue a business venture. This income can reduce pressure on investment withdrawals. 3. Secure IncomeReliable income streams such as Social Security, pensions, or annuity payments. Ethan makes an interesting observation about this category. Many people say they dislike annuities, yet they happily accept Social Security each month. “Virtually every American has an annuity right now called Social Security,” he noted. 4. Growth and Legacy InvestmentsLong-term investments designed for growth, flexibility, and potentially leaving assets to heirs. The goal isn't to split assets evenly among these buckets. Instead, the framework helps retirees understand where their income will come from and whether their plan aligns with their comfort level. Why Frameworks Matter One of the most helpful parts of Ethan's approach is that it provides structure. Without structure, retirement decisions can feel overwhelming. Every market move, every headline, every conversation with a friend can trigger doubt. A framework helps retirees answer a simple question: Where is my income coming from? Once that question is clear, the rest of the planning process becomes easier. The Spending Gap Another interesting challenge Ethan discussed is what advisors often call the retirement spending gap. When retirees are surveyed, most say they want their money to help them live the life they want. But when you look at their actual withdrawals, many spend far less than they could comfortably afford. They say they want to enjoy retirement. But their behavior suggests they're afraid to. Ethan describes the solution as helping retirees “live fully.” In other words, the goal of retirement planning isn't just preserving wealth. It's helping people feel confident enough to actually use it. Retirement Is About More Than Math Retirement planning often focuses on investment returns, withdrawal rates, and tax strategies. Those are important. But they aren't the whole story. Retirement also involves psychology, identity, and the emotional shift from saving to spending. A plan that only works on paper isn't enough. The best retirement plans are designed to work with human behavior—not against it. That's what makes them truly durable. And that's what makes them behavior-proof.

Kyler Murray is in Minnesota today meeting with the Vikings, but before that, Murray met virtually with ‘multiple QB-needy' teams, including the Steelers. Steelers reporters are quickly putting the kibosh on the team signing Murray even if it's for the veteran minimum. Why are people so disgusted with the thought of Murray playing QB for the Steelers? Is Murray an option for more than 2026? The guys couldn't remember if there was this much backlash when the Steelers showed interest in Russell Wilson. A former Steelers QB3 just signed a deal worth $4M and Murray can be had for $1.3M.

A former Steelers QB3 just signed a deal worth $4M and Murray can be had for $1.3M. Are Steelers fans still strongly against Kyler Murray being the team's QB? Cardinals fan called in to tell us he's happy to see Murray go. Steelers insider Ray Fittipaldo from the PG joined the show. Ray doesn't think the Steelers were all that close to making a move for Malik Willis. Ray is unaware of the Steelers virtually meeting with Kyler Murray before he went to meet in-person with Minnesota. Is Aaron Rodgers really the best out there after showing what he can and can't do in his first season in Pittsburgh? Ray isn't buying into Kirk Cousins being a real option. Ray thinks the Steelers could even give Rodgers a raise if he comes back in 2026. Michael Pittman Jr. was Ray's choice of ‘best move' made by the Steelers so far in the new league year. Ray isn't ruling out a Calvin Austin return if he agrees to a deal for under $5M/year. Ray believes the next notable WR move is made in the draft. There was a report the other night that the Steelers signed Brock Hoffman to fill a void on the interior of the offensive line, but it was quickly scrubbed and there has been nothing since. Spencer Anderson is the leader in the clubhouse to be left guard, but Ray said there will be competition brought in via free agency or the draft. Ray will be at a dinner later with Mike Tomlin in attendance.
In 1677, the longtime residents of the old and remote county of Albemarle in northern Carolina, a collection of cranks and dissidents who had fled from Maryland and Virginia and were used to living free of interference from the Carolina proprietors and the Crown’s tax collectors, revolted against new attempts to collect duties on tobacco. Quite astonishingly, they succeeded! And not without some history comedy along the way. In the long history of the Americans, it is easy to ignore Culpeper's Rebellion. Virtually all surveys of American history do. Albemarle was small, a literal backwater, and not even the most important part of Carolina. Historians of North Carolina, however, see it as a truer reflection of the American Revolution, a century later, than the other colonial upheavals of the 1670s. The Albemarle rebels were an early example, in their democratic tax-avoiding free-trading don't-tread-on-me resistance, of ideas that would later be taken up throughout English North America.

A positive attitude isn't pretending life is easy. It's choosing how you respond — especially when it isn't.In this episode of The Impossible Life Podcast, Garrett Unclebach and Nick Surface break down why positive attitude is more than optimism — it's a leadership skill, a mindset discipline, and a decision that determines the direction of your life.Using the aviation idea that attitude determines altitude, the conversation explores how your internal orientation — your thoughts, focus, and emotional direction — influences where your life goes. A negative attitude points you downward. A positive attitude keeps you climbing.Garrett explains that positivity isn't about ignoring reality. It's about choosing what you focus on:Gratitude instead of complaintsPossibility instead of fearEncouragement instead of discouragementLeadership instead of emotional reactionThe episode also dives into how positive attitude transforms the three things everyone faces - pain, criticism, and failure.This episode isn't about fake positivity. It's about becoming the type of person who keeps their eyes up, their faith strong, and their direction forward — no matter what hits. Because attitude doesn't decide where you are.It decides where you're going.Join a group of likeminded Impossible Life listeners in our FREE Skool community by clicking here.Get the Purpose Playbook by clicking hereGet the FREE Basic Discipline Training 30 Day Program by clicking hereJoin us in Mindset Mastery by clicking hereIf you're a man that wants real accountability and training to be a leader, click here.Level up your nutrition with IDLife by clicking hereGET IN TOUCHSocial Media - @theimpossiblelifeEmail - info@theimpossible.life

Three months after Anna Kepner was found dead aboard the Carnival Horizon cruise ship — her body hidden under a bed, death ruled a homicide by mechanical asphyxiation — her sixteen-year-old stepbrother appeared in federal court in Miami facing multiple charges. According to the Daily Mail, the teenager was accompanied by his biological father Thomas Hudson for a closed-door hearing on at least two federal counts. The most striking revelation came from Anna's own father Christopher Kepner, who told the Daily Mail he was "unable to confirm or deny" that charges include both murder and rape — directly contradicting November preliminary findings that indicated no sexual assault.The FBI maintained complete silence for ninety days after the cruise ship death. Virtually everything the public knows came from a custody dispute between the suspect's parents — court filings that revealed text messages focused on damage control, the suspect's repeated claims that he couldn't remember anything, and behavioral history including obsession allegations and testimony about chokeholds in the household. Surveillance and key card data reportedly place the stepbrother as the only person entering and exiting the cabin. Anna's grandmother announced the surrender on Facebook and accused the suspect's father of interfering with the investigation. The hearing was sealed, but prosecutors reportedly plan to seek transfer to adult court — which would unseal the records and reveal the full scope of the federal case.#AnnaKepner #CarnivalHorizon #CruiseShipHomicide #FederalCharges #TrueCrime #TrueCrimeToday #CarnivalCruise #JusticeForAnna #FBIInvestigation #TrueCrimePodcastJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Virtually every issue preventing We The People from getting the responsive, honest government we want is foiled by America's ridiculous lack of term limits. Immigration. Medical fraud. Transnational schemes that steal from our children. All the trans stuff. Term limits require elected representatives to do their jobs in a limited window so they're not constantly running for re-election, and constantly looking for ways to pay for it. The Epstein stuff is backfiring on democrats as the Clintons agree to testify before Congress and Melinda Gates reacts to Bill Gates' liaisons with Epstein escorts.
This week on the MalloryBros. podcast the Bros are back to start the new year off VIRTUALLY as Terrell's son has come down with a small sickness. Nonetheless, the Bros kick it off with a Weekend Recap to recap how they brought in the New Year together with their fiancé's, free of the kids. A huge part of the podcast today was the recent between TDE Grammy Award winning Artist Doechii's brewing beef with popular Streamer Adin Ross. The Bros talk in detail about the history leading up to the alleged beef and how things have really gone overboard. The Bros don't agree with Adin Ross' disrespect and feel he's overstepping because he feels comfortable enough to do so. Next the Bros talk about Streaming and its future with Hip Hop as in recent hears it's been a platform within the community. Next the Bros talk about the Awards Season starting up with Critics Choice awards. They discuss some winners and moments and muddle over what exactly we can expect this Awards season. Lastly, the Bros finish by making picks for this years NFL Playoff's Picture and make their picks for who they think will take it far this years postseason.
