Did Bounty Hunters really exist in the Old West, or is that just another invention of Hollywood? The truth is a lot more complicated than the movies make it seem. Law enforcement in the Old West was patchwork at best, often made up of part-time sheriffs, underpaid marshals, and ramshackle jails. With courts just as unreliable, ordinary citizens and private companies like Wells Fargo began offering cash rewards for outlaws. These rewards gave rise to a system of bounties that blurred the line between justice and profit. But the iconic lone gunman chasing fugitives for money? That's mostly fiction. In reality, bounty collection was done mostly by deputy U.S. marshals, sheriffs, or detectives from agencies like the Pinkertons and Wells Fargo. Figures such as Charlie Siringo, Bass Reeves, and Pat Garrett did collect bounties, but as part of their official duties, not as freelance bounty hunters. Even the few who did, like Jack Duncan of Texas, earned little compared to the risks they faced.

This episode features Mike Zaccheo and Angie Sparks diving deep into the world of credit card statement credits and how to maximize them. The episode begins with a highlight post from member Karen, who detailed her inspiring solo round-the-world trip at age 60, showing how miles, points, and determination can unlock life-changing travel. In news, the hosts cover Flying Blue's November Promo Rewards offering discounted redemptions from North America to Europe, a 20% Capital One transfer bonus to British Airways, Wells Fargo adding JetBlue as a transfer partner, and a major announcement that Rove Miles will soon support Lufthansa's Miles & More—its first European transfer option.Angie shares her latest booking spree, spending 1.3 million points to plan a Switzerland and Istanbul trip, while Mike talks about arranging a Key West getaway for family. They also discuss their travel plans for Chicago Seminars weekend. The main topic focuses on using all available card credits—daily, monthly, quarterly, and annual—across popular cards like the Amex Platinum, Amex Gold, Hilton Aspire, and Chase Sapphire Reserve.

He robbed 28 stagecoaches without firing a single shot, left poetry at crime scenes, and vanished into legend—this is the strange tale of Black Bart, the gentleman bandit.IN THIS EPISODE: Black Bart – just the name conjures up an image of a rugged man willing to mow you down in a hail of bullets if you looked at him wrong, especially during one of his infamous stagecoach robberies. But legends can be wrong, and the real Black Bart might not have been so black in the heart as we've been led to believe. (Black Bart: The Poet Outlaw) *** In 1957, eleven-year-old twins Jacqueline and Joanna were killed in a car accident. But the next year, some people say they were "reincarnated". (The Perplexing Pollocks Problem) *** For over a century, reports of abuse and murder came pouring out of the Topeka Insane Asylum. The tortures that took place within are nothing short of grotesque, and it makes one wonder how anyone could have possibly thought the so-called “treatments” would do anything other than cause the patients terrible suffering and horrific nightmares. (Horrors of the Topeka Insane Asylum) *** A newlywed woman goes sightseeing in a new town while her husband attends a conference nearby. Completely normal behavior for a newly married couple – but nothing that happens after these events makes any sense at all. We'll look at the confusing case of Judy Smith.

Scott Wren, senior global market strategist at the Wells Fargo Investment Institute, says he wouldn't mind a small market setback or breather to calm the nerves, especially because he's used those kinds of moments this year to add to his equity positions, noting that his target for the Standard & Poor's 500 is 7,500 at the end of 2026, a modest but steady gain for next year. Wren favors financials currently for technical reasons, likes industrials for as long as the next decade, and made the strong case for utilities and energy providers as being the growth story for the next quarter century. Todd Rosenbluth, head of research at VettaFi changes things up with the ETF of the Week. Rather than focusing on one fund, he looks at ETF in-flows, which have surpassed a big landmark and will break records for the year. He looks at where all of that money has been flowing, which categories and funds have been the most popular and emerging and more. Tobias Carlisle of the Acquirers Funds — who was on the show last week doing the Market Call — returns to discuss his new book, "Soldier of Fortune: Warren Buffett, Sun Tzu and the Ancient Art of Risk-Taking," which in some ways equates deep-value investing to fighting a battle, but which also helps to explain why the investment style resonates with many individual investors.
In deze Leaders in Finance-aflevering spreken we opnieuw met Joris Krijger over een thema dat de financiële sector fundamenteel verandert: kunstmatige intelligentie en ethiek. Joris is Ethics & AI Officer bij ASN Bank en onderzoeker aan de Erasmus Universiteit en deelt inzichten uit zijn boek Onze Kunstmatige Toekomst. “AI kan ons iets vertellen over de wereld zoals die was, en misschien iets over de wereld zoals die is — maar het kan ons niks vertellen over de wereld zoals die zou moeten zijn.” Hoe verandert AI de manier waarop financiële instellingen tot besluiten komen? Wat gebeurt er wanneer algoritmes oude ongelijkheid uit data kopiëren naar nieuwe systemen? En wat betekent het voor een sector wanneer traditionele startersrollen verdwijnen terwijl ervaren professionals juist productiever worden door technologie? Joris verteld over de praktische vragen die nu op tafel liggen: welke uitgangspunten sturen het gebruik van AI, hoe wordt gecontroleerd of systemen recht doen aan mensen, en wie kan uitleggen waarom een beslissing zo is gevallen?

Are you showing up as your full, authentic self or just the version you think others expect?Authenticity isn't a matter of oversharing or saying whatever's on your mind. It's about honesty balanced with humility and vulnerability, the kind that builds genuine trust and stronger teams.Thankfully, today's guest brings both experience and expertise to this conversation. Mike Robbins is the author of five books, including Bring Your Whole Self to Work and his latest, We're All In This Together. For the past 25 years, Mike has been a sought-after keynote speaker and executive coach who delivers keynotes, workshops, and coaching programs for some of the top companies in the world. His clients include Google, Wells Fargo, Microsoft, Walmart, eBay, Schwab, and many more.In this episode, we delve into what it truly means to “bring your whole self to work,” examine why self-righteousness undermines connection, and explore how vulnerability cultivates trust and psychological safety. Mike shares his “authenticity equation” and practical ways managers can model openness without crossing professional boundaries.In the extended conversation, Mike delves deeper into the art of authentic appreciation, why most people are uncomfortable receiving praise, how to cultivate a culture of gratitude on your team, and the key distinction between appreciation and recognition. He also shares a powerful team practice, “the appreciation seat,” that helps managers cultivate belonging and empathy at work.Get FREE mini-episode guides with the big idea from the week's episode delivered to your inbox when you subscribe to my weekly email.Join the conversation now!Conversation Topics(00:00) Introduction: Why Authenticity Matters at Work(01:03) The Challenge of Showing Up Authentically(01:46) The Authenticity Equation Explained(03:14) Removing Self-Righteousness from Your Leadership(06:55) The Subtle Ways Self-Righteousness Shows Up in Coaching(10:21) Lowering the Waterline on the Iceberg(16:24) The Art of Appropriate Disclosure(18:53) Navigating Grief and Personal Struggles at Work(22:30) Authenticity, Identity, and Belonging(26:11) The Power of Sweaty Palm Conversations(30:18) Connect with Mike Robbins(31:07) [Extended Only] The art of appreciation: how to give and receive it authentically(37:38) [Extended Only] Recognition vs. appreciation—what every manager should know

In this episode of the Glowing Older podcast, host Nancy Griffin interviews Matt Thornhill, founder and CEO of Cozy Home Community and the advocacy movement Openly Gray. They discuss Matt's career journey from advertising to founding the Boomer Project and his insights into marketing to the 50+ demographic. Matt shares the inspiration behind Cozy Home Community, a middle-income housing solution for boomers, and the advocacy work of Openly Gray to combat ageism. The conversation highlights the importance of embracing aging positively and the innovative approaches to senior living.About MattBoomer Expert • Futurist • Founder of Openly Gray and Cozy Home CommunityMatt Thornhill is a nationally recognized expert on consumer behavior and the Boomer generation. After two decades in advertising on Madison Avenue and beyond, he founded a think tank devoted to understanding how Boomers are reshaping industries and society as they age.His insights have guided Fortune 500 companies and major organizations—from Google, Walmart, and AARP to State Farm, Wells Fargo, and the National Governors Association and have been featured on NBC, CBS, CNBC, TIME, The Wall Street Journal, and The New York Times.Co-author of the acclaimed business book Boomer Consumer, Matt now leads Openly Gray, a nonprofit advocacy grouptackling ageism by inspiring older adults to embrace aging as a privilege, not a problem. He's also founder and CEO of Cozy Home Community, developing innovative housing for active older adults.Key TakeawaysBoomers have become the next generation of older adults. Ranging from age 61 to 79, next year the first boomers will turn 80. They are going to transform what it means to grow old.The 50+ market holds significant economic power, oftenignored by marketers. It takes lived experience to speak to the 50+ market. A 50 or 60-year-old advertising copywriter and art director know best how to talk to a 50- or 60-year-old consumer.Forty percent of boomers don't have a spouse or partner – 25 years ago it was 25 percent. Twenty-eight million people live alone. Being single means less income and social security and no caregiver in the home. Cozy Home Community is an intentional community of modular-built homes for middle-income older adults. Ten hours a month of volunteer time to the community is a stipulation of the lease. Neighbors serve neighbors. An AI-driven voice matching system establishes connection points between community members.

In this episode Dr. Mike challenges conventional approaches to performance metrics by highlighting their limitations in a rapidly changing world. Using Nokia's dramatic fall from market dominance as a cautionary tale, he arguex that traditional business scorecards often measure the wrong things—relying too heavily on past performance to forecast what lies ahead. KPIs and automated scorecards reflect historical success but fail to anticipate emerging threats or shifts in customer sentiment. Examples like Wells Fargo, Blockbuster, and Kodak illustrate how companies can meet internal targets yet lose market trust or miss disruptive trends. To counter this, he proposes a four-dimensional framework that serves as a counterbalance to overdependence on business scorecards: Strategic Foresight – Leaders must scan the horizon for change, test assumptions, and prepare for volatility rather than merely optimize current operations. Cultural Resonance – Leaders must stay emotionally attuned to shifting preferences and purchasing trends among their customer community to assure that their brand still connects meaningfully. Trajectory of Trust – Leaders must view trust as a form of capital that is to be monitored as carefully as any physical asset. Declining trust—internally or externally—is a warning sign that demands attention. Adaptive Capacity – Leaders must develop organizations that learn, unlearn, and relearn quickly. The ability to pivot strategically and culturally is essential for survival. Dr. Mike closes the episode with a reminder that leadership effectiveness depends not just on tracking performance, but on cultivating clarity, trust, and adaptability in the face of uncertainty.

The transcript may contain errors and is not a substitute for listening to the episode. Christopher S. Penn – 00:00 In this week’s In Ear Insights, it’s almost redundant at this point to say it’s reporting season, but as we hit quarterly ends, yearly ends, things like that, people become reflective and say, “Hey, let’s do some reports.” One of the problems that we see the most with reporting—and I was guilty of this for the majority of my career, particularly the first half—is when you’re not confident about your reporting skills, what do you do? You back the truck up and you pour data all over somebody’s desk and you hope that it overwhelms them so that they don’t ask you any questions, which is the worst possible way to do reporting. So, Katie, as a senior executive, as a leader, when someone delivers reporting to you, what do you get and what do you want to get? Katie Robbert – 00:51 Well, I would start to say reports, like the ones that you were generating, hate to see me coming. Because guess what I do, Chris, I ask a bazillion questions, starting with so what? And I think that’s really the key. As the CEO of Trust Insights, I need a report that tells me exactly what the insights and actions are so that I can do those things. And that is a user story. A user story is a simple three-part sentence: As a Persona, I want so that. If someone is giving me a report and they haven’t asked me for a user story, that’s probably step one. So, Chris, if I say, “All right, if you can pull the monthly metrics, Chris, and put it into a report, I would appreciate it.” Katie Robbert – 01:47 If I haven’t given you a user story, you need to ask me what it is, because that’s the “so what?” Why are we doing this in the first place? We have no shortage of data points. We have no shortage of information about what happened, maybe even why it happened. And that’s a problem because it doesn’t tell a story. What happens is, if you just give me all of that data back, I don’t know what to do with it. And that’s on me, and that’s on you. And so, together, one of us needs to make sure there is a user story. Ideally, I would be providing it, but if I don’t provide it, your first step is to ask for it. That is Step zero. What is the user story? Why am I pulling this report in the first place? Katie Robbert – 02:33 What is it that you, the stakeholder, expect to get out of this report? What is it you need to do with this information? That is Step zero, before you even start looking at data. Christopher S. Penn – 02:44 I love user stories, and I love them, A, for the simplicity, but B, because of that warm and comforting feeling of having covered your ass. Because if I ask you for a user story and you give me one, I build a report for that. Then you come back and say, “But this is this.” Katie Robbert – 03:03 This. Christopher S. Penn – 03:03 I’m like, “You signed off on the user. You gave me the user story, you signed off on the user story. And what you’re asking for is not in the user story.” So I think we need to recalibrate and have you give me maybe some new user stories so you can get what you want. I’m not going to tell you to go F off—not my face. But I’m also going to push back and say, “This wasn’t in the user story.” Because the reason I love user stories is because they’re the simplest but most effective form of requirements gathering. Katie Robbert – 03:36 I would agree with that. When I was a product manager, user stories saved my sanity because my job was to get all of my stakeholders aligned on a single idea. And I’ve told this before, I’d literally go to their office and camp out and get a physical signature on a piece of paper saying, “Yes, this is exactly what you’re agreeing to.” Then, when we would sit in the meeting and the development team or the design team would present the thing, the second somebody would be like, “Well, wait,” I would just hold up the piece of paper and point to their signature. It’s such an effective way to get things done. Katie Robbert – 04:23 Because what happens if you don’t have a user story to start, or any kind of requirements to start, when you’re doing reporting is exactly what you’re talking about. You end up with spreadsheets of data that doesn’t really mean anything. You end up with 60-slide PowerPoint reports with all of these visuals, and every single slide has at least four or five charts on it and some kind of a label. But there’s no story. There’s no, “Why am I looking at this?” When I think about reporting, the very first thing I want to see is—and I would say even go ahead and do this, this is sort of the pro tip— Katie Robbert – 05:00 Whatever the user story was that I gave you, put that right at the top of the report so that when I look at it, I go, “Oh, that’s what I was looking for. Great.” Because chances are, the second you walk away, I’ve already forgotten the conversation—not because it’s not important, but because a million other things have crept up. Now, when you come back to me and say, “This is what I’m delivering,” this is what I need to be reminded of. A lot of stakeholders, people in general, we’re all forgetful. Over-communicate what it is that we’re doing here in the first place. And no one’s going to be mad at that. It’s like, “Oh, now I don’t have to ask questions.” The second thing I look for is sort of that big “So what?” Katie Robbert – 05:45 We call it an executive summary. You can call it the big takeaway, whatever it is. At the very top of the report, I personally look for, “What is the big thing I need to know?” Is everything great? That’s all I need to know. Is everything terrible? I definitely need to know that. Do I need to take six big actions? Great, let me know that. Or, it’s all business as usual. Just give me the 30-second, “Here are the three bullet points that you need to know.” If you have no other time to read this report, that should be the summary at the top. I am going to, even if it’s not right then, dig into the rest of the report. But I may only in that moment be able to look at the summary. Katie Robbert – 06:33 When I see these big slide decks that people present to their executive team or to their board or to whoever they report to, it’s such a missed opportunity to not have the key takeaways right there up front. If you’re asking someone to scroll, scroll, get through it—it’s all the way at the end—they’re not going to do it, and they’re going to start picking apart everything. Even if you’ve done the work to say, “But I already summarized all of that,” it’s not right there in front of them. Do yourself a favor. Whatever it is the person you’re presenting this to needs to know, put it right in front of their face immediately. Christopher S. Penn – 07:13 Back in the day, we came up with a framework called the SAINT framework, which stands for Summary, Analysis, Insights, Next Steps, Timeline. Where I’ve seen that go wrong is people try to do too much in the summary. From Analysis, Insights, Next Steps, and Timelines, there should be one to three bullets from each that become the summary. Katie Robbert – 07:34 And that’s it? Christopher S. Penn – 07:35 Yeah, that’s it. In terms of percentages, what we generally recommend to people is that Analysis should be 10% to 15% of the report. What happened? Data Insights should be 10% to 15% of the report. Why did those things happen? We did this, and this is what happened. Or this external factor occurred, and this has happened. The remaining 50% to 60% of the report should be equally split between Next Steps—what are you going to do about it?—and Timeline—when are you going to do it? Those next steps and timeline become the decisions that you need the stakeholder to make and when they need to do it so that you get done what you need to get done. Christopher S. Penn – 08:23 That’s the part we call the three “What’s”: What happened? So what? Now what? As you progress through any measurement framework, any reporting framework, the more time you spend on “Now what,” the better a stakeholder is likely to like the report. You should absolutely, if the stakeholder wants it, provide the appendix of the data itself if they want to pour through it. But at the highest level, it should be, “Hey Katie, our website traffic was down 15% last month. The reason for it was because it was a shorter month, a lot of holidays. What we need to do is we need to spin up a small paid campaign, $500 for the next month, to boost traffic back to our key pages. I need a decision from you by October 31st. Go, no go.” Christopher S. Penn – 09:18 And that would be the short summary because that fulfills your user story of, “As a CEO, I need to know what’s going on in marketing so that I can forecast and plan for the future.” Katie Robbert – 09:31 Yep. I would say the other thing that people get wrong is trying to do too much in one report. We talk about this when we talk about dashboard development or any kind of storytelling with data. If I give you three user stories, for example, what I don’t want to see is you trying to cram everything into one report to fulfill every single user story. That’s confusing. There is nothing wrong with—because you already have all the data anyway—just giving me three different stories that fulfill the question that I’m asking. You might be like, “Well, I’m only supposed to do one monthly report. Now you’re asking me to do three monthly reports.” No, I’m not. I’m asking you to take a look at the data and answer each individual question, which you should be doing anyway. Katie Robbert – 10:29 This is the thing that drives me nuts: the lack of consistency from top to bottom. If you think of where a report starts and where it ends, I’m the person who looks at the ending and goes back through and says, “Was there a consistent thread? Am I still looking at the same information at the end that I started with at the beginning?” If you’re telling me actions about my email marketing, but you started with data about my web traffic, my eyebrows are up and I’m like, “I don’t get how we got from A to B.” That’s a big thing that I personally look for—that consistent thread throughout the entire report. If you’re giving me data on web traffic, I then expect the next steps to be about web traffic, not about a different channel. Katie Robbert – 11:20 If you have things you need to tell me about the email marketing data, start with that, because I’m going to be looking for, “Why are we talking about email marketing when our social media was where you started?” That drives me nuts to no end because then it actually puts more work on me and you: “Okay, let’s backtrack, let’s do this over again. Let’s figure out the big thing.” What I was always taught as the person executing the reports is: anticipate the questions, get to know your stakeholder. Anyone who works for me knows me, they know I’m going to ask a million questions. So one of the expectations I have of someone doing a task that I’ve delegated is know that I’m going to ask a million questions about it. Katie Robbert – 12:21 I really want you to examine and think through, “What questions would Katie ask? How do I get her off my back? How do I get her to stop being a pain in the butt and ask me a million questions?” And you’re laughing, Chris, but it’s an effective way to think through a full, well-rounded approach to any kind of a deliverable. This is what we talk about when we talk about gathering business requirements. Have you thought of what happens if we don’t do it? Have you thought of the risks? Having that full set of requirements and questions answered saves you so much time in the execution. It’s very much the same thing. Katie Robbert – 13:01 If I’m delivering something to you, Chris, the way that I’m thinking about it is, “What’s the first question Chris is going to ask me about this? Okay, can I answer that? Great. What’s the second question Chris is going to ask me about this?” And I keep going until I’m out of questions. It occurs to me that you can use generative AI to do this exercise. One of the things, Chris, that you teach in prompt engineering is the magic trick is to have the system ask you one question at a time until it has everything it needs. If you have the time and the luxury to build a synthetic version of your stakeholder, you can do that same thing. Katie Robbert – 13:48 Put together your report, give it the user story, and say, “Ask me one question at a time until there are no questions left to ask.” Christopher S. Penn – 13:57 Exactly. And if you want a scratch way to do that, one of the fastest ways is for you to take past emails or past conference call or Zoom meeting transcripts or your stakeholder’s LinkedIn profile, put that all into a single system—a GPT, a GEM, a Claude project, whatever you want to do—and say, “Behave as the stakeholder, understand what’s important to them, and then ask me one question at a time about my report until there are no questions left.” It’s super valuable, very easy way to do it. I want to go back to the thing about dashboarding and reporting because I wanted to show this. For those who are just listening, this is the cockpit of the Airbus A220, which is a popular aircraft. Christopher S. Penn – 14:42 One of the things you’ll notice: at first it looks very overwhelming, but one of the things you’ll notice is that every screen here serves one function. The altitude and course screen on the far left serves just to tell the pilot where they’re going and where the plane is right now. The navigation screen shows you where the plane is and what’s nearby. Even the controls—when you look at the controls, every lever is a different shape so that you can feel what lever your hand is on. A lot of thought has gone into this to put only the essential things that a pilot needs to get their job done. There is nothing extraneous, there is nothing wasted. Christopher S. Penn – 15:30 Because any amount of waste, any amount of confusion in a very high-stakes situation, can literally result in everyone dying. From this, we could take lessons for our reporting to say, “Does this report serve a single user story and does it do that well? Is it focused on that?” Going back to what you’re saying earlier, if there are multiple user stories, there should be multiple reports, because you can’t make everything be everything to everyone. You could not put every function on this plane in one screen. You will die! You’ll fly straight into a mountain because you’re like, “Where’s my position? What’s my GPS? Where’s the nearby? Holy crap.” By the time you figure out what’s on the screen, you’ve run into a mountain. Christopher S. Penn – 16:13 That design lesson—it really is information architecture—and design is the heart and soul of good reporting. Now, here’s the question: Why don’t we teach that? Katie Robbert – 16:27 Well, you and I teach that, but. Christopher S. Penn – 16:29 Well, yes, Trust Insights. I mean, for people who are, when you look at, for example, courses taught in business school, things we’ve both been through, that we’ve both enjoyed the lovely experience of going through a business program, a master’s degree. Katie Robbert – 16:44 Program, our own projects, all the good stuff. Christopher S. Penn – 16:47 Yeah, none of that was ever taught. Katie Robbert – 16:49 I’m speculating, but honestly, what I was about to speculate is contradictory, so that’s not helpful. No, because I was going to say, because it’s taught from the perspective of the user, the person executing it, but that would argue that, okay, that’s what they should be teaching is how to put together that kind of reporting. I actually don’t remember any kind of course or any kind of discussion about putting together some kind of data storytelling, because that’s really what we’re talking about—telling a story with the data. In business school, you get a lot of, “Here are 12 case studies about global companies and why they either succeeded or failed.” But there’s nothing about the day-to-day in terms of how they actually got to where they are. Katie Robbert – 17:54 It’s, “Henry Ford was this guy who made decisions,” or “Here’s how Wells Fargo,” or “Here’s how an international clothing company, Zara, made all their money.” That’s all really helpful to know from a big picture standpoint. I feel like a lot of what’s taught in business school is big picture unless you take stats. But stats also doesn’t teach you how to do data storytelling; it just teaches you how to analyze the data. So I actually think that it’s just a big missing component because we don’t really think about it. We think that, “Oh, it’s just a marketing function.” And even in marketing classes, you don’t really get to the data storytelling part. You get to more case studies on Facebook or “Here’s how to set up something in Google Ads.” Katie Robbert – 18:46 But then it doesn’t really tell you what to do with the data afterwards. So it’s a huge missed opportunity. I think it’s just not taught in general. I could be mistaken. It’s been a hot second since I was in business school, but my assumption is that it’s not seen as an essential part of the degree. And yet, when you get into the real world, if you can’t tell a story with the data, then you’re at a disadvantage. If you’re asking me personally as a CEO, I am open to thoughts, I’m open to ideas, I’m open to opinions. I am not open to you winging it. I’m not open to vibes. I’m not open to, “Let me just experiment in a production environment.” I’m not open to any of that. Katie Robbert – 19:36 I am open to something where you’ve done the research and you said, “I had this thought, here’s the data that backs it up, and here’s the plan moving forward.” You can use the SAINT framework for a proposal for a new idea. You can use a SAINT framework for a business plan or a business case to say, “I think we should do something different.” I’m always going to look for the data that supports your opinions. Christopher S. Penn – 20:05 Reporting is kind of a horizontal function in that it spans every department. Finance has to do reporting, and sometimes they have regulatory reasons that reporting must be in this format to be compliant with the law. HR, sales, operations—everybody has reporting. I think it’s one of those cases, like the tragedy of the commons. I don’t know if that’s the right analogy or not, but because everybody has to do it, nobody teaches it. Everybody assumes, “Oh well, that’s somebody else’s job to do that.” As a result, you end up with hot salad when it comes to the quality of reports you get. Christopher S. Penn – 20:45 When we worked at the PR agency together, the teams would put together 84-page slide decks of “Here’s what we did,” and it was never connected to results; it was never connected to stakeholders’ user stories. To your point, the simplest thing that you could do as a business professional today is to take that user story from your stakeholder and put it into generative AI with your raw data. Use Google Colab—that would be a great choice—and say, “Here’s my stakeholder’s user story of all this data. Help me understand what data is directly connected to my user story, what data is not, what data is missing that I should have, and what data is unnecessary that I can just ignore.” Christopher S. Penn – 21:34 Then, help me plan out a dashboard of the top three things that I need my stakeholder to pay attention to. That’s where you use SAINT, putting the SAINT framework as a literal knowledge block that you drop right into the chat and say, “Help me write a SAINT framework report based on this data and my user’s user story.” I guarantee if you do that, you will take your stakeholder from mildly happy to deliriously happy in one report because they’ll look at it and go, “You understand what I need to do my job.” Katie Robbert – 22:12 I would say you don’t even have to use Google Colab for something like that, especially if you’re not even really sure where to start. Chris, you’re talking about a thorough understanding of what all of the data means. If you want to even take a step back and say, “This is my stakeholder’s user story. These are the platforms that I have to work with. Can I satisfy this user story with the data that I think I have access to? What should I use? What metrics would answer this question? What am I missing?” You can do the same exercise but just keep it a little bit more high level and be like, “I have Google Analytics 4, I have HubSpot, I have Mautic. Can I answer the question being asked?” And the answer might be no. Katie Robbert – 23:03 If the generative AI says no, you can’t answer the question being asked, make sure it tells you what you need to answer that question so that you can go back to your stakeholder. Be like, “This was your user story. This is what you wanted to know. I don’t have that information. Can you get it for me? Can you help me get it? What do we need to do? Or can you adjust your expectations?” Which is probably not the way to say it to a stakeholder because they never really enjoy that. We always like to think that we know best and we know everything and that we’re never wrong, which is true 99% of the time. Christopher S. Penn – 23:41 So, to recap, use user stories, please, to get validation of your reporting requirements first. Then use any good data storytelling framework, including the SAINT framework, including the 5 Ps—use whatever you’ve got for frameworks—and use generative AI as a thought partner to say, “Can I understand what’s good, what’s bad, what’s missing, and what’s unnecessary from my data to tell the story to my stakeholder?” If you got some thoughts about how you do reporting or how you could be doing reporting better, pop by our free Slack Group.

Keith Weinhold 1:49 Welcome to GRE from Milford, Delaware to Milford, Utah and across 188 nations worldwide. I'm Keith Weinhold, and this is get rich education, the voice of real estate investing since 2014 now, what do you think about a multi week government shutdown? That means there's a cut in your service level, but of course, oh geez, there's no commensurate cut in the amount of taxes that you pay. This is the government's version of charging rent on a vacant unit. That's what's happening. That's what we've been looking at in the biggest expense you'll ever pay in your life. It isn't housing, it's taxes. Before I get to how you can reduce the amount of taxes that you'll pay throughout the course of your life, which is huge. Let's pull back, and I guess it's a bit of a real estate geography riddle for you, imagine if there were a place that existed, and this place is within a 15 minute drive of a seacoast, 15 minutes of mountains, within 15 minutes of an urban core of about 300,000 people, and within 15 minutes of an international airport and a decent airport that has direct, non stop flights to Europe. Even, could that place exist all of that? I mean, it almost sounds too good to be true when I put it like that, yes, it does, and it's in the United States. On top of that, this same place with proximity, within 15 minutes of all four of those things, has zero state income tax and zero sales tax. Yes, all this is in the same place, and that's where I am coming to you from today, Anchorage, Alaska. I traveled a good bit, and I can't think of another place in the US quite like it. A quick check of Chad GPT corroborates this, saying that the US places that come closest are Honolulu, Juneau and Bellingham, Washington. They come the closest to that. Now, the biggest downside, in my opinion, is a long, dark, cold winter. Well, that's when I do more traveling, but I spend many months of the year right here in Anchorage. And my guest today, who you'll hear from later, I haven't had him on the show in years, where recently he I and his wife, Natasha, toured Anchorage. I drove them around. Keith Weinhold 4:29 first, let me tell you about a creative way to pay both a low property tax and a low income tax, and that is no matter what state or province that you live in now, the big three taxes that people pay throughout their lives are income tax, sales tax and a property tax. Those are the big three, and when you combine those to come up with the highest and lowest tax burdens by state, you'll notice that coastal states often pay the most. They generally have the biggest burden, because coasts attract people, and therefore those highly populated areas, they need infrastructure, say, for example, more bridges, and they often have more social services for people, and it costs tax money to maintain all of that. Now, look, will people move to an area specifically because they can get low taxes there? Like is that amenity in itself an attractant? Actually, not so much. No, you do get some people to move to Puerto Rico, predominantly for that reason. But interestingly, the two states with the lowest overall tax burden, that is, when you combine income, sales and property tax, the lowest are Alaska and Wyoming, and yet they have the fewest people living there, under 1 million people each. So the two states with the lowest tax burdens are also the two least populous states. So it is not making people flock there. So where you choose to live? Oh, that has more to do with your overall quality of life. And you know that's probably as it should be. Well, whether you own your home or you rent your home, you effectively do pay property tax, because tenants end up subsidizing the landlord's expenses. Most property tax maps that you see out there, those national property tax maps, they show the average tax bill that a household pays by state, regardless of real estate values. Well, that's not so useful. You might remember that a few weeks ago in our newsletter, I sent you the best and the smartest property tax map that I have by county. You'll remember that it showed the property tax paid as a percentage of the home value, so that relative basis is what matters more. When we look at property tax paid that way, we can more transparently see that the highest property taxes are generally paid in three US regions. Those three regions with the highest property taxes are the northeast, much of the Great Plains and Texas now a 1% property tax rate is, for example, when you have to pay 4000 bucks a year on a property value of 400k That's that 1% and the lowest are in the Western US and the nation's southeast quadrant, often under 1% we're just talking about the property taxes only here. Now out west, lower property taxes, they still rarely create investor cash flow, and that's because purchase prices are too high out west, and rents don't keep up with them proportionally. But low taxes, they do adequately sweeten the most investor advantaged areas, that is in the southeast Indiana, Missouri, Oklahoma, Hawaii, and a bunch of the Mid Atlantic states. All right, so they are the investor advantaged areas that also have low property tax. The nation's lowest property tax rate is in Alabama. Roll tide, I think I've mentioned that on the show before. All right, so that's property tax, but states have to get their revenue somewhere, so oftentimes, if their property tax is low, well then they have to make up for that. So therefore their income or sales tax can be high. Now as far as income tax, each state has their own of course, the high ones are New York, New Jersey, California and Hawaii. Those are many of the high ones. But there are nine states with zero, absolutely zero, state income tax, and those nine states that are free of income tax are the aforementioned, Alaska, Florida, Nevada, New Hampshire, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Washington and Wyoming and Washington gets somewhat of an asterisk that has a little wrinkle in it. That's one of the nine with the wrinkle, you'll pay zero income tax on your wages in Washington. It only applies to high earners, capital gains tax income there, all right. Well, all of that is true for everybody there, every US citizen. But here's the arbitrage that a real estate investor can create. If you live in one state and you own property in another state, you always pay property tax where the property is physically located, not where you live. I mean, any longtime out of state real estate investor knows that. So you can therefore live in a state with little or no income tax, for example, Texas, and then a Texas resident can skirt Texas's higher property tax by investing in a different state that has low property tax, like, say, Alabama or Tennessee. Oh, well, now both your property tax and your income tax are low this way. And congratulations, you have just legally exploited the tax system. Some examples of a low income tax home state where you live and a low property tax investor state where your investment property is, so that you get the best of both worlds. They are, Texas is your home state, and Alabama is your investment property state, like I just described, and then a few other scenarios, so that you can legally use the system to pay both a low income tax and low property tax. Are having Pennsylvania as your home state and Missouri as your investor property state, having New Hampshire as your home state and Tennessee is your investor property state. And then another example, having Washington as your home state and Arkansas as your investor state. Those are just some examples of combinations there about how you can live in a low income tax state and then also enjoy having your investment property in a low property tax state and see perhaps now you're doing this without having to move. Yes, investing in low property tax states. Now, of course, property taxes are set at the county or city level. They're not set federally, but just within one state. Sometimes property tax can vary dramatically, which you probably know, but two of the biggest examples of this are in Illinois, Cook County, which is Chicago, and also Miami, Dade County, Florida. I mean those jurisdictions, they have tax rates that can make wallets cry more than their surrounding counties do, and some states have maximums, legal limits ceilings on property taxes. California proposition 13 famously limits property tax to 1% of assessed value, and then the increases are capped as well. I mean this means the two California neighbors with identical homes can pay wildly different taxes, and Florida is still looking to completely eliminate the property tax. Can you imagine that? I mean, it seems doubtful that that will happen, but you can conceive of how much more desirable that would make Florida properties, and that would probably make all Florida housing values skyrocket now, just because a property has a high property tax rate that doesn't disqualify it as an investment property alone, it's just one consideration that'll show up in your proforma, your cash flow. So the bottom line is that as an income property owner, property tax is mostly passed on to your tenant, but paying a low rate still keeps you more flexible and profitable. So think of a map of states with low property taxes, sort of like a treasure map, but instead of x marking the spot, it marks where your money will go the furthest. Keith Weinhold 13:36 And if you want real estate maps like I'm talking about here, and stories and great charts and investment opportunities that I cannot fit onto the channel.

Get It At gre letter.com Again, that's gre letter.com Keith Weinhold 14:20 something interesting just happened when Wells Fargo released their housing forecast for the next two years. Let's discuss that between today and 2027 they expect the federal funds rate to drop by a full 1% but they don't expect mortgage rates to drop as much only about a quarter point drop over the next two years in the 30 year fixed rate. For next year, they expect home prices to rise three and a half percent, and then the year after 3.7%. looking down the road a couple years here, and this is sorced by Wells Fargo economics and the US Department of Labor and the FHFA and more. All right, so only a small reduction in mortgage rates and a pickup in home price appreciation, although still pretty moderate. Now you gotta take any interest rate prediction with a grain of salt, like I've told you here before. I personally, I do not forecast interest rates, and when you're looking at interest rate predictions, you are squarely looking at a waste of your time. Keith Weinhold 15:34 Now, a recent Gallup poll wanted to find out what Americans consider to be the best long term investment. That's the question that the pollsters asked, what is the best long term investment? And the findings were that 16% said stocks. I mean, despite the fact that stocks only seem to make insiders wealthy, still somehow 16% of Americans consider stocks to be the best long term investments, a higher share of Americans, 23% said gold. That actually surprises me, that nearly one quarter of Americans say that gold is the best long term investment, when only about 10% of Americans own gold in the physical form, like bars or coins. And part of this could be driven by the recent hype, where the gold price has more than doubled just since last year, and it broke above $4,000 an ounce for the first time in history this month. All right, so 16% said stocks, 23% said gold. And what's number one in the Gallup poll for what Americans believe is the best long term investment? It's real estate. Ah, well, they got that right. That actually gives me a little more faith than Americans there. Now, when it comes to real estate investment, you know, there's this long running mantra or catchphrase out there that I really disagree with. I mean, you've certainly heard this before, but it just does not resonate with me. And that is, appreciation is just the icing on the cake. That's the catchphrase I am not feeling the vibe there. How in the heck is appreciation just the icing on the cake? The presumption, the inference here, is that cash flow is the main driver of an investment philosophy, and then if you just happen to get appreciation too, oh, well, that's a little sweetener. Like the mantra would say cash flow is the cake, the majority piece, and then appreciation since the icing, oh, that's only a little thing. No, that's misleading. You usually get more of a return from appreciation than you do cash flow. Keith Weinhold 17:56 I mean, on, say, a 400k income property, what if you only get $200 of cash flow? That can happen? That's $2,400 a year. But instead, 5% appreciation on that property gives you $20,000 a year. That is almost 10x. I think what the icing on the cake, curious catchphrase means is that cash flow is important because it controls the mortgage. Well, then I think it's just better to say that appreciation is not an inconsequential thing. It's often the biggest thing. So is appreciation just the icing on the cake? No, it certainly is not. In fact, I'm going to talk more about that next week when I've got something special planned for you here on the show. What I'm going to do then is look at the ways real estate pays you five ways in a slow market, the real estate market is slow. If you look at it on a basis of transaction volume, say that you buy a property today and over the next year, you don't even get what Wells Fargo forecasts say you only get 2% appreciation and zero cash flow. Just break even on a monthly basis. I mean, there's surely some disappointing numbers, but just say that's what happens. Well, next week, I'm going to add up what your total rate of return would be even in this dour scenario, and I think that you are going to Marvel be flabbergasted at how profitable you are if you just got 2% appreciation and zero cash flow. That's next week. Keith Weinhold 19:36 As far as today, I'm about to bring in a super smart guest that hasn't been on the show here in a few years. He's usually a fellow faculty member on the real estate guys invest or summit at sea. But he wasn't there with me this year, so we met up in Anchorage. Instead, we're talking about changes to commercial real estate that market, and the opportunities that you might be able to find there from Industrial land, an activity that well generates noise, like Bitcoin mining operations and growing data centers with the increased use of AI. And as you listen, see if you know what I mean about how he feels professorial in his approach, and I mean that in the best possible way you can learn from him. He's from Ottawa, Canada, an international conversation coming up next. I'm Keith Weinhold. You're listening to Episode 577, of get rich education.

He's a senior partner at y street capital. He owns a development company that's active in nine US states and two Canadian provinces, and he's the host of the real estate espresso podcast. Hey, it's great to have back. It's been a few years. Victor Menasce, great to be here. Keith, well, you know what's different? I mean, we were together doing some sightseeing around Anchorage, Alaska. You I and your wife here just a few weeks ago. That was great to have you. And then you had a nice Alaskan cruise after that. It was lovely. It was great to spend time with you in person, where you and I have spent time together at conferences all around the nation. So thank you for that. Yeah, it was great to do some fun stuff and like, Oh, hey, this guy knows a world outside of just talking about cap rates all the time. So Victor, the commercial side is pretty dynamic, and it sure has been lately with all the changes that we've had in the world, really starting with the pandemic almost six years ago, now, that includes the industrial space and how the need for warehousing and storage has changed. So from a real estate perspective, tell us about what you're seeing there. Victor Menasce 23:41 We're seeing a lot of changes. Of course, there's a lot of uncertainty that's been injected by the current administration in Washington in terms of international trade. But even if you put that aside the flow of goods from wherever they're manufactured to the end customer, that flow is still there. It's one of these things that often creates inefficiencies, especially as you start to think about really optimizing the overall cost. You know, if you think about what inventory costs you to have on a retail floor where you might be renting that retail space at, I don't know, 55 $60 a square foot, and it's occupying very, very expensive real estate, if you can instead put that in a warehouse that's maybe at 10 to $15 a square foot. Oh, but wait a minute, you've got a 27 or a 35 or a 40 foot ceiling height, and you're stacking it seven to nine levels high. Really, the cost of that inventory has gone way, way down because you're putting it much less expensive real estate, right? Okay, so here is one of the efficiencies of a retailer doing e tail instead of brick and mortar retail, absolutely. And you know, we often see situations where the last mile, you know, we want to get that instant gratification as a consumer, but we don't necessarily want to be having to drive to that retail space. And we don't that's. Supplier doesn't necessarily want to pay Amazon for warehousing that particular product. So often, the fulfillment is done locally, that last mile Logistics is extremely important. That's putting a lot of pressure on this category of product that has traditionally been called Flex industrial. These are those places in the industrial park that you might see an electrician or a landscaping company or a plumber or anyone like that that has an office at the front of 14 or 18 foot Bay at the back and a bit of inventory. A lot of that product right now is being pulled off the market for many different reasons. Some of that's just disappearing and that land is getting repurposed for residential. Some of it's disappearing because people are putting gyms and pickleball courts and things like that and those types of products. Some of it's disappearing because people with exotic car collections want to use that space for a man cave. There's many different things that are demanding that particular product, and there's very little of it getting built. So that's another area right now that is under a lot of pressure. On the demand side, not a lot of new supply and rents are going up much, much faster than they otherwise should be. Talk to us more about the industrial space from the supplydemand perspective, what do people want and what do people need? It varies widely. There are companies that are in manufacturing, they will often look to refresh their investment in equipment. They may not have the capital, so they will sometimes do a sale, lease back of their building, of their facilities, so that they can then repurpose some of that capital onto into the equipment side, so that they can maybe modernize their manufacturing. That's another area where we see significant shifts happening. In industrial we also see a lot in logistics, where the most efficient way to move goods is a 200 year old technology called rail, and it's still alive and well. I mean, if you think about the cost of shipping a container across the country, you're going to spend about two cents per ton mile to move that by rail, or about 10 cents per ton mile to do it by truck. So that's a five times difference in price. That means a container from Los Angeles to New York is going to cost you about $1,400 if you're moving it by rail, or about $7,500 if you're moving it by truck. But if you're now part of the rail system, there's now logistics that you have to worry about at either end. And so if you want to make all of that work, those transfer hubs become extremely important, and there's just not a lot of them, Keith Weinhold 27:38 okay, so it might only cost 1/5 as much per ton mile to move a good over rail as it does road. But you're sort of talking about the logistical challenge of, oh, getting it that last mile from the rail Terminus to the end user. Victor Menasce 27:53 absolutely. And there can be a lot of cost associated with that last mile. So if you can solve that problem for the logistics companies and lower their cost for that last mile. That's got significant value, and that's another demand for industrial land. And very few cities are adding industrial land to their master plan. You know, warehouses don't vote, so they don't tend to take other land and zone industrial In fact, if anything, it goes the other way. There's a lot of pressure to take land that was zoned industrial and rezone it for commercial or for residential. In fact, we see that in a lot of cities. Keith Weinhold 28:30 Now, you the listener, if your entrepreneurial wheels are turning, you can see the opportunity for, Hey, can I get in and help solve the problem in that last mile demand creatively. How do I think I could get in? How do I think I could do that, as long as that demand is sustainable? Victor, when we talk about industrial real estate, like we are here as real estate investors, one of the things that we often think about is site selection. Tell us more about that through the industrial lens Victor Menasce 28:58 I think there's a couple things that matter. Number one, you can't pay too much for it. It's got to be at the right price. So you've got to be thinking about, you know, we always do what's called residual land value analysis and and that happens in residential, commercial, every single asset class, everyone works backwards from the answer to the question. So the answer is, here's how much profit I need to generate. Here's my capital cost. Here's, you know, you keep backing up and you say, well, now what's left over? That's what I can afford to pay for the land. So you always gotta be working backwards from the answer to the question. And this is no different. We do this in industrial as well. So you gotta make sure that that situation where the numbers work. Number two, you've gotta make sure that there is the right supply, demand dynamics. Got to make sure that the property itself is not contaminated. That can be a liability. If that was once a heavy industry site, then there could be contamination. You want to make sure that that's somebody else's problem, not yours, or if it is your problem, that you can mitigate it where the cost is bounded. So you got to. You know, look at all of these things together. And then, of course, there has to be good connectivity, good access to freeways, to major arterial roads, good access to rail. If you can get a Rails per on the property, even better. But even if you can't, as long as you have good access to major roads. You know, I always look at this through the lens of product design, where you're designing a product for a very specific customer. And so it's really, it starts with the end customers need in mind. And it's not a speculative process. It's really understanding who that customer is designing a product for them and making sure that you're delivering it at the right price. So it's always, always working backwards from the answer Keith Weinhold 29:43 nowwhen we think about site selection and geography of where we're putting this real estate cities are often located on a body of water, like a bay or a river, often runs through a city, but yet you think of industrial use. Land is not your priciest land, but yet you think of a city center as your priciest land. Oftentimes, where do you put the industrial real estate with regard to the city center? I usually think of it as far outside of that. But are there other trade offs or nuances there? Victor Menasce 31:11 it can be. You know, it's a question of whether you're doing a greenfield project or an infill project. If the land was previously zoned industrial and you're now just redeveloping it, that can make a lot of sense. If it is a greenfield project where you're looking to build new then, yeah, it's probably going to be in the outskirts, because that's where you're going to get the best land cost. And then, of course, you got to be thinking about what the end product is, and it what's it going to cost you to get it where it needs to be. Most of these projects are built slab on grade, which means that the surface has to be suitable for that sort of building. The land might be cheap, but if you've got to bring in half a million yards of gravel to get the site where it needs to be, it might not look cheap anymore, because you could import so much material. So you have to think of the cost of the land in a shovel ready context, because you can spend an awful lot of money moving dirt, moving gravel, things like that that will be necessary for an industrial project. So when we look at land for that product, we're always looking at it through the lens of, is it in a floodplain? Is it high enough ground? Is it drain? Well, all of those things that come into the cost of preparing the site to accept that kind of a building. Keith Weinhold 32:23 Now, when we think about what goes on in an industrial space in your mind's eye, you might think of an asphalt plant, or you might think of the noise in some rumbling concrete trucks. With regard to that, what are your thoughts about nimbyism? Do you see much, not in my backyardism among communities with industrial real estate. Victor Menasce 32:44 Oh, absolutely, without a doubt. And oftentimes that's one of the reasons why industrial land often gets pushed out away from those residential zones. So once you're outside the radius of people who can object, then there's no objection. So that's one way to solve it, and often a good way to solve it, by the way, but you also have to be mindful the fact that if there is potential contaminants coming off of that site, you don't want to be near a body of water that can carry it down into an aquifer and so on. So you've got to be thinking through containment issues. You've got to be thinking through noise propagation issues. There's been, in fact, a lot of issues with data centers, where the air handling and the the air conditioning systems right generate a lot of noise, and that noise often carries over very large distances. And you know, we're talking noise levels that would be very offensive to most homeowners. Some people have had to move because the noise levels have just been so continuous. Keith Weinhold 33:42 I like the way you put that Victor. It's sort of like, yes, industrial parks are built outside the radius of the loudest objectors. That's right where they're going to go. But that's really the way that it is sometimes when we think about more contemporary uses for how we use industrial real estate today. You touched on data centers, also Bitcoin miners, you know, these are some of the things that generate noise. So what are some of the considerations with those two? Victor Menasce 34:06 If you're looking at a data center, they consume a lot of power and they generate a lot of heat. The most efficient way to get rid of heat is with water. And that sounds a little bit strange, but you think about it this way, if you heat a molecule of water by one degree. I'm going to actually give you the textbook definition of a calorie. You take that water and you heat it by one degree, that'll consume one calorie of water. That's the definition of a calorie. And if you take it from the liquid state to the vapor state, just that phase change at 212 degrees Fahrenheit, or 100 degrees centigrade, that phase change is going to consume 500 calories. So you're getting rid of tremendous amount of heat by evaporating water, and that's why data centers consume so much water, is because they evaporate the water. That's the way they get rid of the heat. They evaporate it into the atmosphere. And that's how they get rid of the heat. It's the most efficient way to do it, but it consumes a lot of water resources. And then, of course, you've got to have the power to get into the data center, and a lot of places don't have the electric infrastructure to provide what's needed on a sustained basis. So you need not just good power, you need good power redundancy. So if there's a power failure here, you've got maybe redundant paths. So if one transmission line goes down, you've got alternate paths to keep the data center running. And you need the same thing also with communication, so multiple redundant fiber pathways in and out of the data center. So all of these things come into site selection. And then if you got all of that right, you got to overcome the neighborhood objections. Keith Weinhold 35:45 Yes, that's right. We're doing a little science here with Victor Menasce, experienced international developer, and Victor when we think about industrial real estate, and we're here on an investing show. You know, maybe an investor sees potential in data center real estate or something like that. So for the individual investor, what can they do? Can they do anything individually? Are there funds to invest in, to either avoid or be attracted, to tell us about how the investor can get in? Victor Menasce 36:15 We're not active in data centers. We're active more on the industrial side. I know the existence of data center funds. I know, for example, Kevin O'Leary, very famous Shark Tank, is a major investor in data centers. If you look him up, there might be some potentials there. Many of the major players in artificial intelligence, Oracle right now is taking on a boatload of debt to build data centers for open AI, so they're going to both build and operate those data centers. And I don't know where they're getting their capital, but they're getting a lot of it, or at least that's what's been announced publicly. Data centers require a lot of at least at that scale, require tremendous amount of infrastructure. We're talking hundreds of acres. We're not talking a small warehouse here that might be a million square feet. We're talking big, big acreage for those scale projects and for more localized projects. Yeah, there are smaller data centers, but they're not that economical to run. So it's usually the large ones that are the most cost efficient. Keith Weinhold 37:16 Well, two things Victor is there anything else about industrial real estate? Our listeners should know maybe something I did not think about asking you and then tell our audience how they can learn more about what you're doing. Victor Menasce 37:27 We see opportunity in particular. We think of it almost like a covered land play. We're very active in the industrial outdoor storage space where there is need for things to be stored outdoors. It might be landscaping companies that want to buy materials by the truckload. It might be car dealerships that have an excess of inventory. It might be boat and RV storage. There's many different uses for secured outdoor storage, and these are products that are designed very specifically for customers that have those needs. And as a covered land play, frankly, some of the best returns that are available in the marketplace. We've looked at a number of different things, and this is where we're placing majority of our energy right now as a development company is in that space, because we see it as an underserved segment of the market where there is not a lot of institutional money that's come into the play yet, so we're very active in that space. Keith Weinhold 38:22 And how can our audience learn more about what you're doing Victor Menasce 38:25 best is to reach out to us at y Street, capital com. Be happy to have if folks want to learn more about our projects. There's a place where they can sign up on the website to get more information. And love to have you as guests or as listeners to the real estate espresso podcast, and that's a daily show, seven days a week, so love to have you as a listener for that show as well. Keith Weinhold 38:46 And that's the letter Y, Y Street, capital.com,Victor Mesance, it's been enlightening as always. Thanks so much for coming back onto the show. Victor Menasce 38:55 Thank you so much. Keith Weinhold 39:02 Oh yeah, good stuff from Victor as always. Another thing that he, I and his wife did in Anchorage when he was here recently is visit, well, it was not an AI data center, but we went to a mint that sells gold bars, nuggets and bullion. I really just looked. It was fun to look with Victor and actually pick up and hold gold nuggets, something that you cannot do online. I didn't have any intent to buy anything with the run up in precious metals prices. I made my last purchase of those in the middle of last year. So a year and four months ago today, I hear about lots of people rushing to buy precious metals. Now, amidst this big price run up and the run up might still have a ways to go, but no, the time to buy was like a year and a half ago or more. It's not now getting caught up in the euphoria this sort of exhaltation where you're paying double the price. Keith Weinhold 40:03 next week here on the show, I've got more that I want to share with you on today's opportunity in new build rental property. How real estate pays five ways in a slow market, which is just fascinating. And I've got a GRE live event to tell you about next week as well, and more, lots of intriguing wealth building material here in future weeks, and then sometime after that, my own right hand assistant here at GRE is going to come out of the show and ask me some of your listener questions.

Dr Boyce talks about Wells Fargo doing fake interviews
Send us a textThe crew kicks things off with a hilariously chaotic debate about dogs, which somehow that turns into NFL and NBA hot takes from Marc G and Mr. Unlimited PTO that are either genius-level clairvoyance or sports delusion at its finest.Then it's all love and R&B vibes as they wish the one and only Ciara a Happy Birthday and hand her a well-deserved bouquet of flowers. But the peace doesn't last long—because next up is the Nicki Minaj vs. Keyshia Ka'oir situation that's got the timeline in shambles.The gang also debates the ultimate '90s Male Sitcom Mount Rushmore (expect strong opinions and pure nostalgia), unpacks Kevin McCall's latest claims, reacts to Keke Palmer's new show “Southern Fried Rice” on KeyTV, and breaks down Wells Fargo's $85 million lawsuit.They cap it all off with thoughts on Megan Thee Stallion's “Lover Girl” music video, Netflix's new true-crime doc “The Perfect Neighbor,” and Rod Wave's appearance on the Joe Budden Podcast—plus plenty more detours, laughs, and semi-reckless takes along the way.Welcome to Episode 186: “Anybody I Left, Wasn't Right”Support the showhttps://instagram.com/weaintdonepodcast?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=
The law is being broken, our country is being damaged, and there are foreign actors involved. It's a plan for both sponsoring and shaping civil disorder and unrest. Included are disruption of Federal facilities. We have the receipts. It's a conspiracy to defraud the United States and inhibit it's function. This is seditious conspiracy. Material support and training for terrorism is being whitewashed. Call it violent extremism, because that's what it is. Multi-national trainers sharing lessons and tactics. Car bombs were part of the orientation. Wells Fargo and Obama money moves. Go Fund Me is involved too. They are training people to train more people. Decentralization is their modus operandi. The goal is always to create civil unrest and make it seem organic. They are into the collapsing pillar theory. Simplistic thinking seems to work for them. Imagine if all that effort was used for good. Feeling frustrated or off to the side? Try to see the future you, and how today's actions reflect on your character.

On this episode of China Field Notes, host Scott Kennedy speaks with Han Shen Lin, China Managing Director for the Asia Group and Associate Professor of Practice in Finance at NYU Shanghai. Lin details his journey from serving in the U.S. Marines to working at Wells Fargo in China to teaching at NYU Shanghai. He explains why the original hopes of financial openness were not borne out and what this means for China's economy and foreign banks. He also unpacks data from AmCham China's 2025 Business Climate Survey, offering insight into why business optimism among American companies has waned. Finally, Lin and Kennedy discuss the outlook for a potential Trump-Xi meeting, the need for clear guardrails to stabilize U.S.-China relations, and why continued engagement in China remains vital for business competitiveness and mutual understanding.
Send us a textIn this episode of Navigating the Customer Experience, we sit down with Evan Siegel, Vice President of AI at eGain, where he leads the development of next-generation AI-powered conversational guidance. With a rich background that includes 16 years at Wells Fargo leading customer experience and contact center innovation, Evan brings deep insight into how technology can drive better service outcomes without losing the human touch.Evan's career journey began in entrepreneurship — running a successful residential painting business that grew to 300 employees before he sold it and pursued an MBA at Stanford. His experience at Wells Fargo honed his expertise in solving large-scale customer pain points and improving first-contact resolution in massive contact centers. Those experiences led him to eGain, a company dedicated to providing “the right answer to the right person at the right time, in the right channel.”Evan explains that eGain's AI-powered knowledge management platform helps companies clean, update, and centralize information so agents can quickly find accurate answers. This not only improves customer satisfaction but also transforms efficiency—some clients have seen up to 37% improvement in first-contact resolution, a 30-point rise in Net Promoter Score, and 50% reduction in training time. For instance, eGain supports the U.S. Veterans Administration, the country's largest healthcare provider, to deliver consistent, fast, and empathetic service across millions of interactions.A key theme in the discussion is balancing technology and empathy. Evan emphasizes that AI doesn't replace human connection—it enhances it by freeing up employees' mental space to focus on emotional intelligence and rapport-building. By handling the “how” of issue resolution, AI lets people focus on the “who.”He also shares how eGain builds knowledge bases for each company by analyzing customer inquiries, extracting top issues using AI, and rewriting existing materials to align with best practices for clarity and accessibility. This process—once lengthy and manual—can now be done in days or weeks.When asked about tools he can't live without, Evan points to AI assistants like ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity, which he uses daily as brainstorming and writing partners. His motto: “AI won't replace me, but someone who knows how to use AI better than me will.”Evan also discusses two books that shaped him: How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie, which taught him the power of genuine curiosity in relationships, and William Manchester's three-part biography of Winston Churchill, which inspired lessons in conviction, communication, and strategic thinking.Today, what excites Evan most is collaborative leadership—bringing teams together to brainstorm, check egos at the door, and make the best collective decisions. His guiding philosophy: “I don't need to be the smartest person in the room. I need to make the best decision coming out of the room.”He closes with another favorite quote: “You miss every shot you don't take.” For Evan, this embodies the spirit of innovation at eGain—experiment fast, learn fast, and keep improving.Listeners can connect with Evan on LinkedIn or email him at esiegel@egain.com to learn more about eGain's new AI self-service agent for small businesses, featuring reasoning capabilities, a free trial, and no-contract flexibility.Follow us on X @navigatingcx, and join our Navigating the Customer Experience Facebook community for more insights and resources.

This Day in Legal History: Saturday Night MassacreOn October 20, 1973, a pivotal event in American legal and political history unfolded: the “Saturday Night Massacre.” Special Prosecutor Archibald Cox was fired by Solicitor General Robert Bork at the direct order of President Richard Nixon. Nixon's decision came after both Attorney General Elliot Richardson and Deputy Attorney General William Ruckelshaus refused to carry out the order and instead chose to resign. Cox had insisted on obtaining White House tapes related to the Watergate break-in, and Nixon, citing executive privilege, ordered him removed.The dismissals plunged the Justice Department into chaos and sparked widespread public outrage. Nixon's actions were viewed by many as a blatant abuse of power and a threat to the independence of the justice system. Congress was inundated with demands for Nixon's impeachment, and confidence in the executive branch eroded further. Though Bork ultimately carried out the dismissal, he later stated he believed it was his duty to preserve the functioning of the Justice Department.The fallout from the Saturday Night Massacre significantly intensified the Watergate investigation. Within months, new Special Prosecutor Leon Jaworski was appointed, and he continued the push for the tapes. Eventually, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled unanimously in United States v. Nixon (1974) that Nixon had to turn them over. The tapes revealed evidence of a cover-up, which led directly to Nixon's resignation in August 1974.President Trump commuted the federal prison sentence of former U.S. Representative George Santos, ordering his immediate release. Santos, who had been sentenced in April to over seven years for fraud and identity theft, was serving time for falsifying donor information and inflating fundraising figures to gain support from the Republican Party during his 2022 campaign. His short and controversial congressional tenure ended in expulsion following numerous scandals, including false claims about his education, employment history, and family background.Trump announced the commutation on Truth Social, arguing that Santos had been “horribly mistreated” and drawing comparisons to other “rogues” in the country who do not face such lengthy prison terms. Earlier in the week, Santos had publicly pleaded for clemency, praising Trump and expressing remorse for his actions. The commutation fits into a broader pattern of Trump's second-term use of clemency powers, which included mass pardons of January 6 defendants and relief for political figures from both parties. The Constitution grants the president wide authority to issue pardons or commute sentences for federal offenses.Trump commutes prison sentence of former lawmaker George Santos, orders him released | ReutersA proposed class action lawsuit was filed in federal court in Connecticut, accusing eight major U.S. banks—including JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America, Wells Fargo, Citibank, and U.S. Bank—of conspiring to fix the U.S. prime interest rate for over three decades. The plaintiffs, representing potentially hundreds of thousands of borrowers, claim the banks coordinated to align their prime lending rates with the Wall Street Journal Prime Rate, which is typically set at three percentage points above the federal funds rate. This rate influences trillions of dollars in consumer and small-business loans, such as credit cards and home equity lines.The suit alleges that this coordination inflated borrowing costs for consumers and small businesses, who were led to believe the rates were set independently. It also asserts that up until 1992, the Wall Street Journal published a range of prime rates that reflected competitive differences among banks, but since then has moved to publishing a single rate derived from input by a select group of large banks. Although the Wall Street Journal and Dow Jones are not named as defendants, the lawsuit challenges the transparency and independence of the current rate-setting process.Plaintiffs argue that decades of nearly identical prime rate pricing among the banks defies the notion of independent rate-setting. The banks named in the case have not yet made court appearances and mostly declined to comment. The suit, Normandin et al v. JPMorgan Chase Bank N.A. et al, aims to hold the institutions accountable for what plaintiffs call a longstanding, anti-competitive scheme.Borrowers sue major US banks over alleged prime rate-fixing scheme | ReutersChief Judge Colm F. Connolly of the U.S. District Court for Delaware issued a ruling that could significantly alter how early-stage patent litigation is handled, particularly regarding willful infringement claims. Reversing his earlier stance, Connolly held that requests for enhanced damages due to willful patent infringement are not standalone claims subject to early dismissal if the underlying infringement claims proceed. The decision came in a case involving clot-removal device patents, Inari Medical Inc. v. Inquis Medical Inc.This shift may complicate early settlements by increasing uncertainty and widening the valuation gap between plaintiffs and defendants. Because Delaware is a leading venue for patent disputes, Connolly's ruling may influence how courts across the country handle similar motions, although it's uncertain whether other judges will adopt the same reasoning. Legal scholars and practitioners note the opinion could lead to more aggressive pre-suit tactics from patent holders, such as sending demand letters alleging willfulness, which could provoke accused companies to initiate preemptive litigation in favorable jurisdictions.Connolly's approach represents a sharp departure from his prior treatment of willfulness claims and, according to experts, effectively lets plaintiffs include such allegations in their complaints without risk of early dismissal. However, the ruling also reaffirmed that plaintiffs still need to establish pre-suit knowledge of the patents to succeed on claims of post-suit willfulness or indirect infringement.Connolly's Willfulness Ruling Risks Scuttling Patent Settlements This is a public episode.

In this week's episode of WSJ's Take On the Week, co-hosts Telis Demos is joined by Miriam Gottfried to tackle gold's continued rally.

After the break, Telis is joined by Chris Whalen, chairman of Whalen Global Advisors, and they get into this week's coming earnings from JPMorgan Chase, Citigroup, Wells Fargo, Goldman Sachs and more.

Welcome to episode 32 of Offshoot. My guest today is Tony Yousif, Executive Managing Director of SVN, where he's built a nationwide advisory and brokerage platform helping banks, receivers, and institutional capital allocators of all varieties navigate their most complex real estate situations.Born to Iraqi immigrants who fled to America and lived on welfare and Section 8 housing in the city of Chicago, Tony found himself working at a convenience store and borrowing a third of his now-wife's accounting salary just to survive. For 2.5 years he pulled 100-hour weeks before making his first $25,000 commission check. That grit was the foundation for building one of the most trusted names in distressed real estate.But, the genius here isn't just the grind, it's the deep investment Tony has made to relationship-building. He doesn't see himself as a broker; rather the "conductor of the orchestra" sitting between the lenders and local market experts, helping move distressed deals along to their highest and best use. Since 2008, he's helped the likes of Wells Fargo, Bank of America, Fannie Mae, Colony Capital, and Oaktree navigate their troubled assets. Last year alone, his team valued over 1,500 properties and managed 92 different assets across the country. The best part of this is that Tony hasn't asked for a piece of business in over 10 years and he's not likely someone you've heard a lot about. All of this comes from relationships.Tony's a farmer rather than a hunter in the world of real estate. While most brokers eat what they kill, moving from one deal to the next, Tony plants seeds, nurtures relationships, and harvests when the fruit is ripe. The proof of his success comes in the liberty he has to fire clients – walking away from $80,000 a month because one relationship wasn't mutually respectful. That takes serious cojones and is a luxury of only the successful.Listen into (and behind) what's said as we cover topics that include:How respect for his parents' vision and commitment served as a core motivationThe difference between being a relationship broker versus a transaction broker – and why one builds a business while the other may just pay billsWhy grading your clients and firing the toxic ones can free time for the relationships that matterThe wisdom in allocating time to create harmony across competing interestsThe benefits of striving to live as if you're about to dieThe Sabalers effect - how treating people right means they take you with them to their next employer and give you another clientThe art of saying no to opportunities and instead referring them to competitors without asking for a fee (and how that built his reputation)Why "a rolling loan takes no loss" and how banks' extending and pretending looked genius through the last crisisThe nightly practice with his kids that names three things they're each grateful forThe three circles of life (business, friends/family, self) and why deathbed advice about finding harmony, not balance, changed Tony's perspectiveTony's journey from welfare recipient to trusted advisor for institutions managing billions in distressed assets is a masterclass in patience, perseverance, and the compound value of genuine relationships. I hope you enjoy it.

We've got some huge international strikes and check-ins on some long running campaigns this week. We start with headlines from Iowa hospitals, Cornell University, Incheon International Airport, New Zealand primary schools, Doordash, and Amazon. Our first main story we discuss a Labor Notes piece updating us on the ongoing effort to organize one of the country's biggest banks, Wells Fargo. After the illegal seizure of the Global Sumud Flotilla, Italian workers made good on their threats to launch a massive general strike. Workers at the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette have been on strike for over 2 years, we discuss what's keeping them going after all this time and the importance of their struggle to a dire media landscape. Finally, a piece in the American Prospect from Sarah Lazare demonstrates clearly how the attacks on immigrants are attacks on all of us, and why the time is now for a unified fightback by organized labor.
