In this episode, we continue our Lenten book study and focus on chapters 3 & 4. We discuss the Ten Commandments, how they teach us to say yes to true freedom, and why our voluntary yes helps us live in deeper communion with God and those around us. We also reflect on finding Eden in our Churches or homes, discovering our golden calves, and the significance of doing our daily duty well.

There are also bulk discounts available. Journal Questions: How is my experience of the Church being broken open and expanded throughout this study? Where have I been filling myself with things other than the Lord? Where have I been the unfaithful bride to the Lord? How do I rationalize your idols and areas of bondage in daily life? Do I allow myself to rest well and rest deeply? Discussion Questions: How can we create a space in our home for people to rest? How have you experienced authentic freedom and sanctity in the “no's” of Christianity and the Commandments? What external and internal structures in different areas of your life help to sustain your freedom? How are you tempted to replace the honest work of doing your daily duty well with other good things? Quote to Ponder: “But they lacked the garden-sanctuary of Eden. The Israelites were going to need a place where God could walk and talk with his children. Also, they had a long journey ahead through the desert to the Promised Land, a land flowing with milk and honey (an image of Eden), so their meeting-place with God had to be portable. Therefore, Moses went back up the mountain to get instructions for the tabernacle. The tabernacle would be a portable Eden, a place of communion and rest.” (Jesus and the Jubilee, John Bergsma, Page 38) Scripture for Lectio: “Every fifty years, the Day of Atonement also marked the beginning of the jubilee year. God commanded Moses on the day of atonement you shall send abroad the trumpet throughout all your land. And you shall hallow the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout the land to all its inhabitants; it shall be a jubilee for you, when each of you shall return to his property and each of you shall return to his family.” (Leviticus 25: 9–10) Sponsor - Camp Wojtyla: Are you looking for a transformative experience for your middle school or high school student?

The spotlight will be on Ohio State's defense as the Buckeyes begin spring practice next week.Yes, the quarterback competition will draw plenty of attention too, but it's the defense that we'll be watching most closely this spring as we seek to get an idea of what Ohio State's defense will look like in 2025 with eight new starters and a new defensive coordinator.While we know the defense will be built around Caleb Downs and that Sonny Styles and Davison Igbinosun will play major roles as returning starters, there are otherwise more questions than answers about Ohio State's new-look defense under Matt Patricia – even if the Buckeyes' defensive talent and what we heard last week from Patricia offer plenty of reasons for optimism.We spend more than half of this week's show talking about our expectations for Ohio State's defense entering spring before turning the conversation to what we're looking to see from Julian Sayin and the Buckeyes' offense over the next four weeks. We wrap up the show by discussing what Ohio State men's basketball needs to do in this week's Big Ten Tournament to make the NCAA Tournament.The full rundown for this week's show:0:00 Why This Spring Feels Different Than Last Spring at Ohio State5:57 Why Ohio State's Defense is the Biggest Thing We'll Be Watching This Spring15:19 Ohio State's Defensive Line is Its Biggest Question Mark, But There's Plenty of Promising Talent25:35 Lorenzo Styles Jr., Devin Sanchez, Safeties Could All Determine What Ohio State Does at Nickel34:25 Sonny Styles, Arvell Reese and Payton Pierce Lead A Strong Core at Linebacker38:23 What We Need to See From Julian Sayin This Spring to Feel Confident He's Ready to Start43:46 Offensive Line, Running Backs Among Other Offensive Positions to Watch This Spring51:08 What Ohio State Basketball Must Do in the Big Ten Tournament to Make the NCAA Tournament
Our guest, Sue McShane, is a valued member of The Aging Project Community whose personal journey shows the power of self-advocacy, self-awareness, and taking small, consistent steps toward better health. At 60, Sue is feeling stronger, healthier, and more empowered than ever, but it wasn't always that way. After years of struggling with mental health, trauma, and chronic health concerns, she discovered genetic testing, glucose monitoring, and strength training, which have helped her optimise her health and transition off antidepressants after 27 years. Sue shares how understanding her DNA has been the missing piece in her health puzzle, proving that health isn't just about how you feel—it's about knowing what's happening beneath the surface. Key Episode Highlights 1️⃣ Health is a life-long journey and there's always more to learn Sue thought she knew everything she needed about health—until she discovered The Aging Project Podcast and started learning about genetic testing and personalised health. Health is never “done.” It's a lifelong process of learning, adapting, and making informed choices. Symptoms of menopause including hot flashes, weight gain, cholesterol and anxiety were the calling cards that moved her into action. 2️⃣ From Trauma to Transformation Childhood trauma & long-term stress – Sue grew up in a violent home, which she believes triggered long-term health issues. Spent 27 years on antidepressants after being told by a GP that “everyone needs them.” Battled postnatal depression and chronic infections, leading to years of antibiotic use. Menopause became another turning point—when she sought medical help, she was offered more antidepressants and a statin. That's when she decided to take control of her health. 3️⃣ The Tools That Changed Everything Sue took inspiration from The Aging Project and began exploring: ✔ Fitgenes testing – Helped her understand her genetic predispositions and vitamin needs. ✔ Glucose monitoring (Vively) – Showed how her body responded to different foods. ✔ Strength training – Lifting heavy weights helped her build muscle and improve metabolism. ✔ Nutritional focus – Adjusting B12 and B6 levels played a key role in her transition off antidepressants. 4️⃣ What We Need to Know About Our Health Many GPs aren't trained in menopause, genetics or nutrition Genetic testing is no longer just for celebrities—it's an accessible, powerful tool for understanding your unique health risks. Health is like a jigsaw puzzle—you don't get the full picture all at once, but every piece helps. Your DNA is the missing piece—without it, you're guessing about what your body really needs. Key Takeaway Sue's story is proof that it's never too late to take charge of your health. Healing isn't a one-time fix—it's an ongoing journey, and small, intentional steps make all the difference. Understanding your DNA is a game-changer. It gives you the power to personalise your health, prevent disease, and make smarter choices for longevity. Want to Learn More?
In this episode, we hear from ‘Steve,' a DMM social media catalyst and practitioner who shared at the 2024 Nairobi Conference. Steve gives us insight into how social media can be used to find people of peace and transition from online engagement to real-life disciple-making. Steve's journey highlights both the potential and limitations of digital disciple-making. He emphasises the importance of on-the-ground disciple-makers. His message is clear: we should use media wisely—to catalyse movements, not replace real-life discipleship. Steve's Story & Lessons Learned “The faster that they can meet face to face, the more likely they are to multiply.” While caring for his terminally ill wife, Steve turned to social media to continue making disciples. He initially tried online Discovery Bible Studies (DBS) but soon realised that true disciple-making requires face-to-face relationships. This led him to experiment with running ads to connect with seekers and find persons of peace. One of the stories he shares is about Madonna, a young Muslim woman drawn to Jesus. However, she ultimately lacked a local disciple-maker to walk with her, underscoring the critical need for on-the-ground believers. Challenges in Using Social Media for Disciple-Making • Media doesn't make disciples—only disciples make disciples. “It's easier to teach a disciple-maker how to use social media than it is to teach a social media person how to make disciples.” • Broadcasting faith content isn't enough; engagement and relationship-building are key. • Online seekers need local, Spirit-filled believers to walk with them. How Social Media to Movement Works (Finding People of Peace Online) “Yes, social media is a dark place, but we need to be shining the light of Jesus into this darkness.” 1. Attracting Seekers – Media is used to attract spiritual seekers who are already on a spiritual journey. 2. Identifying Seekers – When engaging with people online, the goal isn't to convince them but to identify those who are genuinely seeking. 3. Filtering Responses – Digital filterers help discern legitimate seekers through relational engagement rather than debate. 4. Connecting to Face-to-Face Discipleship – Once seekers are identified, they should be connected with local disciple-makers as quickly as possible. The faster they meet in person, the more likely they are to multiply. Observations from the Most Fruitful Fields • Disciple-making happens face-to-face, not online. • Digital filterers should have bridge-building spiritual gifts. They focus on relational engagement rather than debating or convincing people. • Effective disciple-makers prioritise starting groups within existing networks of seekers. • Local, experienced, and proven disciple-makers are best suited for filtering seekers. • The focus should be on disciple-makers, not just hiring people for online or offline engagement. This is spiritual work—social media is only an access ministry. We are not making disciples online. • The most fruit often comes from the hardest places. Steve's Vision & Next Steps Steve's vision is to create systems, processes, and tools that anyone can use to find persons of peace online. The goal is to test, refine, and replicate these processes to train disciple-makers in DMM. The hope is to develop scalable systems that can be freely shared across the Kingdom of God. What We Need to Use Social Media for Disciple-Making • At least two committed disciple-making movement workers • Access to laptops, computers, reliable phones, and internet • A network of disciple-makers who can meet face-to-face with seekers Steve's Final Encouragement “Let's go and take everything we have learned to the ends of the earth.” This episode challenges us to see social media not as the end goal but as a tool—one that can help find seekers and connect them with real-life disciple-makers.

As the material that makes all living things what/who we are, DNA is the key to understanding and changing the world. British geneticist Bryan Sykes and Francis Collins, director of the Human Genome Project, explain how, through gene editing, scientists can better treat illnesses, eradicate diseases, and revolutionize personalized medicine. But existing and developing gene editing technologies are not without controversies. A major point of debate deals with the idea that gene editing is overstepping natural and ethical boundaries. Just because they can, does that mean that scientists should edit DNA? Harvard professor Glenn Cohen introduces another subcategory of gene experiments: mixing human and animal DNA. "The question is which are okay, which are not okay, why can we generate some principles," Cohen says of human-animal chimeras and arguments concerning improving human life versus morality. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TRANSCRIPT: 0:00 Intro 0:41 Bryan Sykes, What We Need to Know About Genes 3:24 Francis Collins, Linking Genes to Disease 8:39 Glenn Cohen, Crossing Human Genes With Animals BRYAN SYKES: Genetics and DNA does get to the central issue of what makes us tick. It's perhaps too determinist to say that your genes determine everything you do. They don't, but, if you like, it's like the deck of cards that you're dealt at birth. What you do with that deck, like any card game, depends a lot on your choices, but it is influenced by those cards, those genes that you got when you were born. What I've enjoyed about genetics is looking to see what it tells us about where we've come from because those pieces of DNA, they came from somewhere. They weren't just sort of plucked out of the air. They came from ancestors. And it's a very good way of finding out about your ancestors, not only who they are, but just imagining their lives. You're made up of DNA from thousands and millions of ancestors who've lived in the past, most of them now dead, but they've survived, they've got through, they've passed their DNA onto their children, and it's come down to you. It doesn't matter who you are. You could be the President. You could be the Prime Minister. You could be the head of a big corporation. You could be a taxi driver. You could be someone who lives on the street. But the same is true of everybody. I can see a time, long after I've gone but when, in fact, everyone will know their relationship to everybody else. It is possible, if anybody wants to do it or can afford it, you could actually, I think, draw the family tree of the entire world by linking up the segments of DNA. So you could find out in what way everyone was related to everybody else. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
When you feel overwhelmed without knowing what to do, the overwhelming feeling stays big and might get bigger which then feels like a problem. So here you are, overwhelmed, unsure of what to do about it; the feeling gets bigger, the problem, even though it's unnamed, also gets bigger, and so you start throwing big solutions at an unnamed problem that don't work, which then causes you to feel even more overwhelmed. Instead, today I want to share with you seven ways to meet overwhelm.

Eddin Khoo is a journalist, historian, author and poet. But perhaps his biggest contribution to society is his tireless work in protecting Malaysia's traditional performing arts like the Wayang Kulit and Mak Yong, through his cultural organisation, Pusaka. He rightly points out that Malaysia is a cosmopolis of races, cultures and traditions with a history older than most countries in the region. But its importance has been systematically erased in the interests of political self-preservation. This is his story, in his own words.

Episode Summary: In this episode of the Prescribing Lifestyle podcast, Dr. Avi Charlton sits down with the multi-talented Paul Taylor, a neuroscientist, physiologist, nutritionist, and former British Navy aircrew officer. Paul shares his fascinating journey from serving in the British Armed Forces to his current work in Australia, where he focuses on developing stress fitness programs. They delve into the concept of hardiness, exploring how we can harness stress to become stronger both mentally and physically. Paul also provides insights into his ongoing PhD research, the impact of modern comforts on our health, and practical tips for building resilience in everyday life. Key Takeaways: Paul Taylor's Background: Former British Navy aircrew officer with experience in anti-submarine warfare and search and rescue missions. Transitioned to becoming a neuroscientist, physiologist, and nutritionist in Australia. Currently completing a PhD in applied psychology with a focus on stress fitness. Understanding Hardiness: Hardiness involves control, challenge, and commitment orientations, helping individuals grow from stress rather than just bounce back. The importance of deliberately seeking discomfort to build resilience, both physically and psychologically. Stress Fitness and Resilience: Paul's research involves developing and evaluating training programs to improve psychological measures, fitness levels, and cognitive function. The concept of “stress inoculation training” and how it prepares individuals to handle stress more effectively. Impact of Modern Comforts: Paul's book, Death by Comfort, discusses how our hunter-gatherer physiology is mismatched with modern life, leading to health issues. The need to integrate more physical and psychological challenges into our lives to counteract the negative effects of too much comfort. Practical Tips for Building Resilience: Start small with challenges like cold showers or setting progressive physical goals. Focus on what you can control and use strategies to manage what you can't. Track progress to maintain motivation and cultivate a mindset that embraces challenges as opportunities for growth.

Mike Di Lorenzo has a history in music that is marked by passion, devotion, and an unwavering quest for musical brilliance. Di Lorenzo's musical foundation was established at an early age, within the context of the culturally diverse United States. His first musical instrument was the piano, which he soon found to be an extension of his own expression. The silky sounds of R&B, the emotional depth of jazz, and the emotive intensity of soul music had a profound effect on him as a young performer. Both Mike Di Lorenzo's musical prowess and his educational background are astounding. He refined his craft in esteemed universities, delving deeply into the theoretical and technical facets of music while ever losing sight of its fundamental emotional content. His reputation has grown over time as a creative and adaptable musician who can merge genres with ease and produce music that has a profound emotional impact. Throughout his career, Mike Di Lorenzo has collaborated with numerous talented artists, each partnership adding a new dimension to his musical repertoire. His collaborations with Anna Moore have been particularly noteworthy. They have collaborated to produce a number of songs that, with their combination of technical mastery and intense emotion, have mesmerized listeners. Their reputation as a formidable combination in the music business has been cemented by hits like “Holding All My Love,” “Play It Cool,” and “What We Need.” With the release of their single, “It Wasn't You,” on June 28th, 2024, Mike Di Lorenzo and Anna Moore have once again demonstrated their musical harmony.

Dr. Mark Levy delves into the fascinating world of Forensic Psychiatry, shedding light on the intriguing dynamics at play. Join us as we explore the riveting cases of The People vs. O.J. Simpson and The State of New York vs. Donald Trump. It's a fascinating discussion that will make you think!Dr. Mark Levy is a licensed clinical and forensic psychiatrist with over four decades of experience. He has degrees from Columbia University and the San Francisco Psychoanalytic Institute. He is certified by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology and the National Board of Physicians and Surgeons. He is an Associate Clinical Professor of Psychiatry at the University of California, San Francisco, and an Adjunct Associate Professor of Psychiatry at Stanford University School of Medicine.Dr. Levy and his team of 22 board-certified psychiatrists and 10 forensic neuropsychologists practice forensic psychiatry at Forensic Psychiatric Associates, L.P. (FPAMED.com). Dr. Levy has been retained as a forensic psychiatric expert in more than 500 civil lawsuits and related matters. He has published numerous articles and presented countless talks on forensic psychiatric topics, such as “Mental Illness In the Workplace” and “Shrink in the Courtroom: Forensic Psychiatry and Law.”I chose to discuss the O.J. Simpson and Donald Trump cases because they spontaneously came up in our conversation. Our legal system has loopholes that get exploited. In one case, someone is guilty but found innocent. In the other, the offender was found guilty of 34 counts of falsifying business records that kept a sordid extramarital affair from the public before the 2016 presidential election. The men accused in both cases committed the crimes.O.J. Simpson died earlier this year on the 30th anniversary of his yearslong 1994 criminal case, The People vs. O.J. Simpson. He was found not guilty by a Los Angeles jury of the gruesome murders of his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend, Ronald Goldman. Just because he was found not guilty doesn't mean he didn't commit the crime. We discuss the role of the prosecuting attorney, the broader cultural context, and the impact of societal influences on legal cases, which can blur the facts and conceal the truth.We taped this podcast conversation in the middle of The State of New York vs. Donald Trump trial. I asked Dr. Levy if he thinks Donald Trump is a psychopath. Dr. Levy explains the Gold Water Rule and the ethics of diagnosing people you haven't examined. Dr. Levy gives insights into Donald Trump's reactive and impulsive behavior and transactional focus in relationships regardless of norms or the law. Irrespective of the nation's needs or individuals in the country, Donald Trump is focused on what is in Donald Trump's best interest and projects onto others so whatever he accuses others of doing, it is really him who is doing it.

Mothers, Daughters & the Empty Nest What We Need From Each Other & What We Need to Offer With Dr. Helen McIntosh and Charlotte's Daughters, Kate and Cambri As empty nesting moms, we find ourselves in unique spaces and places. Many of us are doing life with our own parents and our adult daughters. Some of us have more time on our hands and some have less. As we pour out and love our families, we also must manage our own expectations and emotions. Listen in as Helen and Charlotte talk about: How healthy is our nest? And our relationships? How can we moms offer more than we expect to receive? How do we not set ourselves up for disappointment? How can we release our expectations, yet share our hopes? What do our girls need from us? Leaning in and looking to Jesus to lead our days is the answer to most of life's issue. Yet sometimes it is hard to surrender and let Him do so. How can we better do this? Seeing our daughters with the eyes of Christ certainly helps us understand their lives and needs. Charlotte likes to ask her girls, “How can I best love and support you these days? How can I be praying for you? What else can we do as moms to love our adult daughters as we empty nest? Thanks for joining us in this meaningful conversation, To reach Helen: Our Mended Hearts with Blythe Daniel & Dr. Helen McIntosh To reach Charlotte: https://charlotteguest.com

And it's so unique because not a lot of products these days really are doing that.” - Bo Mo, (6:04) “...What we need is the next generation of people coming up…to give back selflessly, without expecting anything in return and saying, ‘Hey, if I give back to this community, we're all better for it. I'm better for it.'” - Calvin Smith, (17:42) “...The constraints that you have on yourself [are]…only in your mind. If you let that go, anything is possible and you can achieve anything. And we're a prime example with the Razorbacks. But again, we're just scratching the surface. And that's motivation to people in the entrepreneurial world, and you can do anything, but don't just settle for scratching the surface - keep on grinding, keep on getting better.” - Ronnie Brewer, (26:05)

What We Need to Think About on 17th of Tammuz (5783)
Audio Recording Sermon OutlineSpeaker: Rev. Scott StrickmanSermon Series: John 1-12: Come, See, Live!John 12:34-50 (ESV) 34 So the crowd answered him, “We have heard from the Law that the Christ remains forever. How can you say that the Son of Man must be lifted up? Who is this Son of Man?” 35 So Jesus said to them, “The light is among you for a little while longer. Walk while you have the light, lest darkness overtake you. The one who walks in the darkness does not know where he is going. 36 While you have the light, believe in the light, that you may become sons of light.” When Jesus had said these things, he departed and hid himself from them. 37 Though he had done so many signs before them, they still did not believe in him, 38 so that the word spoken by the prophet Isaiah might be fulfilled: “Lord, who has believed what he heard from us, and to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?”39 Therefore they could not believe. For again Isaiah said, 40 “He has blinded their eyes and hardened their heart, lest they see with their eyes, and understand with their heart, and turn, and I would heal them.” 41 Isaiah said these things because he saw his glory and spoke of him. 42 Nevertheless, many even of the authorities believed in him, but for fear of the Pharisees they did not confess it, so that they would not be put out of the synagogue; 43 for they loved the glory that comes from man more than the glory that comes from God. 44 And Jesus cried out and said, “Whoever believes in me, believes not in me but in him who sent me. 45 And whoever sees me sees him who sent me. 46 I have come into the world as light, so that whoever believes in me may not remain in darkness. 47 If anyone hears my words and does not keep them, I do not judge him; for I did not come to judge the world but to save the world. 48 The one who rejects me and does not receive my words has a judge; the word that I have spoken will judge him on the last day. 49 For I have not spoken on my own authority, but the Father who sent me has himself given me a commandment—what to say and what to speak. 50 And I know that his commandment is eternal life. What I say, therefore, I say as the Father has told me.”Sermon OutlineJesus calls people who are lost (v35) to look to him and receive life (v46, 50).1.

We stray from you and get lost in darkness. Forgive us for loving glory that comes from people more than the glory that comes from you. Forgive us for hearts that are hardened to you. You are just and we need your forgiveness. Forgive all our sins. We thank you that Jesus was sent into the world so that we would not remain in darkness. We thank you that he faced the judgment we deserve. We receive life as a gift and pray for the grace to see and hear you. Amen.Questions for ReflectionReflect on a time you were lost. What did you experience? What aspects of that experience illuminates the Bible's picture of humans as lost in the world?Why is Jesus so misunderstood? What had you, or do you, have trouble understanding regarding who Jesus is or what he taught?What does Jesus mean when he says people love the glory of other people more than the glory of God? What does this look like in your life (what “glory” do you seek or desire)?Have you had any experience of the glory of God? What did you experience? If not, what would you hope to experience?What do you find most appealing about Jesus or Christianity? What is revealed in Jesus' crucifixion that is essential for us?How does Jesus help us to know God? What is unique about Jesus in connection with knowing God?How is Jesus a help to people experiencing dark and difficult times?The life Jesus offers begins to work in us when we believe. What do you need to do to cultivate growth or to deepen the experience of life in Christ?

"Procrastination is like a credit card: it's fun until you get the bill." --Christopher ParkerAre you like me and always saying that you don't need more time, you just need a deadline? Are you always intending to do something, but can't bring yourself to do it? Are you beating yourself up thinking you are lazy because you can't get things done? Stop right there. You are not lazy. You are not broken. You are procrastinating and we all do it. We procrastinate when we are trying to avoid things that are uncomfortable. We put off tasks when we don't have all the answers, when it requires us to do new things that are unfamiliar. We put off what's hard. It's natural. We are built for survival.

But it's, it's quite simple, really, it's are you a trustworthy person? Do you go above and beyond even when the chips are down? I mean, I've had deals that went south, but I did every, you know, I did everything under the sun to try to save those deals or hire attorneys at my own expense and try to, you know, do everything I can. And I think people know that. [00:00:41] Sam Wilson: Since 2007, Dave Vanhorn has served as president and CEO of PPR Note Co. It's a holding company that manages several real estate and mortgage investment funds. Dave, welcome to the show. [00:00:52] Dave Van Horn: Hey, how you doing Sam? [00:00:53] Sam Wilson: I'm great, sir. And yourself? [00:00:55] Dave Van Horn: I never had a bad day. [00:00:57] Sam Wilson: Wow. That's awesome. I love the positivity there, man. I don't hear that very often. I need, I need more of you in my life. I've never had a bad day. Tell me this, Dave, there are three questions. I ask every guest who comes to the show: in 90 seconds or less, can you tell me where did you start? Where are you now? And how did you get there? [00:01:13] Dave Van Horn: Where did I start? Well, I'm in Philadelphia. I've been here my whole life. So I guess I started and ended here. I started as an agent back in '86, '87 was I first, licensed. And then I bought my first rental property, which was a duplex that I built some commercial garages on. And I bought that in 1989. So that's where I started. And then I had gotten up to about 40, I had about 40 rentals. I was also, years ago, I've been investing like 35 years. So a lot of things happened in 35 years, but I was I had been a contractor, so I was a contractor for 22 years. So I was a realtor, a property manager. I owned a title company, you know, a lot of different things I did over the years, but I had accumulated quite a few properties. And then I managed a lot of properties for other investors as well. And that's pretty much it, but, you know, I just kept scaling that and then eventually got into raising capital and was started out raising capital for commercial real estate, and then started raising capital for notes. That's how I met my partner. I used to run a real estate event, pre-meet up, pre-all the technology you see today. It was really simple. We sat down, had a meal, got to know each other. That was, and you could bring your deals. That was how simple the meeting was. But the meeting actually grew from 12 people out of lunch. Over a six-year period, ended up being in five states, six cities from Baltimore to New York. And we had 8,000 people in our database. So it grew quite rapidly, this little, have a meal and talk about real estate thing. So that's kind of how that network actually became in a way my bank, you know, how I raised capital for other folks' deals, how I raised capital for myself and even PPR today, if you think about it, we're the, you know, we're kind of our own bank, so to speak with our private equity, right? [00:03:00] Sam Wilson: Tell me about what does PPR do today for the listeners that may not already be familiar with you? [00:03:07] Dave Van Horn: Well, we started out doing, believe it or not, we started out doing delinquent second mortgages, and we started as investors. So it was somewhat of an accidental business. In fact, we used to have a short sale company and that was the main business and that went out of business and the note company took off. So who knows, right? And then we went from junior liens, as we kept raising more and more capital and growing, we went into first mortgages and then, you know, have morphed into commercial notes as well. And now back into commercial real estate again, so the company's grown and diversified quite a bit, although we're relatively new to commercial real estate recently, I guess the last year and a half, two years, you know, we first started getting into short term business loans, commercial loans, construction loans, bridge loans. We actually aggregate those up. We buy them. We have an affiliate that does hard money lending and has an REO platform online that sells REO properties. And then we, you know, we also finance that stuff as well. So that's just some of the things we do. And a lot of that we do to regulate capital, but still, the majority of our business is in the non-performing loans space. We do like the commercial real estate though, because it gives us tax advantages, depreciation, things to offset the carried interest from our bulk of the business, in the loan side of the, of our company, you know. [00:04:26] Sam Wilson: You said the bulk of your business is nonperforming loans? [00:04:30] Dave Van Horn: Yes. I think last year we did about 325 million nonperforming loans. [00:04:34] Sam Wilson: And what's your strategy there? Get them to be reperforming loans and then sell those off or just reperforming and then hold them? [00:04:41] Dave Van Horn: Well there's a couple of strategies, but no, you know, we have a JV partner, we acquire a lot of assets. They have a trade desk in New York, so we can access their desk and acquire assets. It's kind of like dollar cost averaging as you purchase. So it's kind of like this, we hurry up and purchase assets and aggregate them over time and get them, you know, reperforming in a lot of cases, and then we do go to securitization. So it's a kind of a race to securitization, so to speak. And that usually takes like 15 to 18 months. And then once we securitize, which is another way of saying refinancing a pool of mortgages down to a lower rate, we kind of derisk our portfolio by doing that. Then we're often running to, you know, wind down that fund. It takes about, I guess 33 to 36 months is the typical timeframe there. And then you can turn around and you do it again. You know, you go out and you aggregate more assets. And we use a combination of our private equity with some institutional capital. That lowers our cost of capital by, you know, marrying the two together. [00:05:40] Sam Wilson: Right. Yeah, absolutely, absolutely. Do you see any risks or, I guess, any stormy weather on the horizon in the non-performing loan space? [00:05:49] Dave Van Horn: Oh, absolutely. So I'll give you an example. In the first quarter of this year, we didn't purchase any NPLs, but although last week we just purchased 73 million. So but that was intentional because of the market fluctuations and waiting for some things to settle down. But what we're seeing now is some things are loosening out right now. And you got to realize the last, gosh, 5 or 10 years almost, it's been an upmarket, so right. No prices are in direct correlation to real estate values. So the margins were actually thin. And then we tend to take off the most when it's a down market. So it's funny, some people are like, well, what happens if there's a recession? Normally that's beneficial for us because that increases, you know, the foreclosures, things like that. But usually the biggest economic indicator for us is unemployment. The thing that's strange right now where, you know, we may see what we call a technical review session, where you have two-quarters of negative GDP. Meanwhile, unemployment's still low, you know, so it's, never happened before. So that's what's different. Now if unemployment was high, yeah, we would probably be high five in a little bit and go in this, you know, not that we wish bad luck on anybody, but it's just the nature of that business. What'll happen in a down market is assets, just get, you know, cheaper pricing, wider margins. That's really what it means. We can make money in any market. What happens is your exits shift. You know, the way you exit your deals, the way you work your deals. Perfect example of that is deed in lieu. Usually, these are one to four family residential properties nationwide, right? So a deed in lieu is a good technique for an exit in an up market. It's not a good technique in a down market, right, does that make sense? Yeah. Cause you wouldn't have enough equity to, take the deed in lieu, right? So you could see how exits shift. That's just an easy example of that. And then when pricing shifts or the loan of value and, and the equity that's back in these assets shift the way you do your workout agreements, or, you know, what do you call it, loan modifications. They could vary, you know, so you just make adjustments, just like anything else in real estate, right? And, you know, you can make money in all markets. It's just you have to shift your strategy, right? [00:07:59] Sam Wilson: Yeah, absolutely, absolutely. I would imagine a lot of people, processes, procedures, you know, building the team around handling nonperforming loans has, has probably been a work of art. Can you talk about that a little bit? [00:08:13] Dave Van Horn: Yeah, it's funny you say that 'cause for many years we were asset managers. We used to do a lot of that in-house and there is a lot of compliance, but today we outsource a lot of that. So we're primarily capital allocators, more so than asset managers. And our JV partners on the West Coast actually have, you know, they have under a hundred people, but you're right. If we did all that in-house, at some point we would be a large firm like that. Whereas today, we're at like 27 people and we have considerable AUM, where like, we're just under hair, under 600 million under management. Now we recycle a lot of our money though. So it's a little different than if I said I was in multifamily and I had, you know, a billion dollars worth of property, usually that's with leverage or, but in our case, a lot of that private equity keeps moving and keeps turning. So it's a, it's a little bit different than that, where it's, you know, I bought an asset and parked the money, you know? [00:09:05] Sam Wilson: Right, right. Completely understand. As you rewind your 30, what'd you say? 35-year real estate... [00:09:12] Dave Van Horn: And growing, yeah. [00:09:13] Sam Wilson: 35? [00:09:14] Dave Van Horn: 30 something. I can't count that far back. [00:09:18] Sam Wilson: Says the numbers guy in real estate. I can't count that far back. Tell me this, Dave, what's one mistake that you can look back on that you said, man, I wish I hadn't done that, that you could help our listeners avoid? [00:09:30] Dave Van Horn: Wish I hadn't done that. Well, a lot of it is knowing who you're doing business with is definitely one 'cause we've had all had scenarios that didn't work out or lost money or whatever, bad partner. But I think really, I think the opportunity thing would be about leverage, about utilizing leverage sooner. And you know, even in, you know, I have a lot of coaches and mentors and, and that's one of the things that's a common theme with some of the coaches and mentors I've had where they'll ask the same question, which is what's the one thing that you could leverage that'll catapult you or your business in the next six to 12 months, you know, and that's an interesting question that I paid a lot of money to have asked of me. But it was good money, but the question sometimes would stay the same, and you go back with my coach six months later and he is asking me the same question, but things change, right? I could leverage technology. I could leverage people. I could leverage a lot of things, a JV partner. I could leverage capital. And that number one thing will shift for people based on where they're at with their business or their personal life. Oh, your personal life could be something else. What's the one thing, it's almost like the book, The One Thing, what's the one thing that I can do such that you know, everything else becomes easier or unnecessary that, you know, who's it, Gary Keller, right? So, you know, it's a great point. Great book. The other thing is, what's the one thing, what's the one goal, and by that, I mean, you know, I was a very ADHD type guy where I had shiny object syndrome, like a lot of real estate investors and control freak, and you know, all those things. But a friend of mine used to say this, you know, there's one goal in life and that is to get as much passive income as quickly as possible, by retirement age at the latest, and to have much, as much tax-deferred or tax-free as you can. It's an interesting goal, right? it doesn't really reflect your passion or what you're good at, but it does kind of sum it all up in a way because that's where we're all trying to get to with, you know, financial freedom or whatever that is, to get freedom of time, to get freedom to be able to go where you want when you want with who you want 'cause ultimately that's probably the bigger success. Now that could be different things for different people, but you get the idea. [00:11:50] Sam Wilson: Gotcha. So if I hear you correctly, are you saying that maybe earlier on you would've defined, I guess the one thing that you said, Hey, if I paid more attention earlier on to this, this is what will move my business forward. And then also the other thing I'm hearing is that, Hey, earlier on I would've said, look, I'm going to really hyper-focus on creating as much passive income as I can. Does that sound about right? [00:12:09] Dave Van Horn: Yes. And not 21 things, right? That's why, and then the other thing is, like, being willing to have utilized more leverage sooner. Like, I'll give you an example of that was I used to sell 75, 80 homes a year when I was a RE/MAX agent to fellow real estate investors. [00:12:26] Sam Wilson: Right. [00:12:27] Dave Van Horn: And looking back, I go, well, that was dumb. I had the capital. I had the hard money lenders. I was like reluctant to use hard money ' cause I thought it was too expensive. In reality, what did it cost me to give away 75, 80 deals? I was focused on the wrong thing. I'm focused on commission. I'm not focused on increasing building wealth or cash flow. Like, I was focused on commission. Think about that. That's ridiculous almost. And most people can't find 75, 80 deals. I'm selling 'em to other people and I'm going, why? I'm not thinking about I could have bought all of 'em. I should have been buying 75, 80 houses a year myself. That's a perfect example of me, like, can't see the forest from the trees kind of thing. It was all right in front of me. I had all the resources 'cause we don't, what's that saying? What Tony Robbins used say, we don't lack resources, we lack, you know... [00:13:20] Sam Wilson: Creativity. [00:13:21] Dave Van Horn: Yeah, it was all right there in front of me. And, you know, sometimes we just don't see that, you know. [00:13:28] Sam Wilson: It's funny you say that. I'm not quite to the same extent as painful of a lesson, but I go back to when I started in real estate in all the houses I flipped. I mean, dozens and dozens and dozens. It's like, why did I not just hold those again? Like, here I am 10 years later, I'm like, I'm an idiot. I should have just bought 'em and held 'em I was buying 'em right. Same idea. Same exact idea. Yeah, that's great. Thank you for sharing that. I certainly appreciate that. Tell me this. You know, what's one thing you feel like you've done really well? Something when you said, man, this has been a key to success that I feel like other people should be implementing. [00:14:00] Dave Van Horn: For me, you know, I was always a sales guy, and it was, you know, my unique ability is the ability to raise a lot of capital, a lot of equity very quickly, you know. Like, I've had cases where I raised 30 million in a month, you know, which is significant, right? And a lot of people can't really do that. But a lot of that, where that comes from, I think is probably from trust over a long period of time. So you're able to, you know, be able to connect with people, you know, you're authentic. It's just like having a, a large network, but it's more than having a large network, right? 'Cause you could buy a network, but if you have an organic network. And the other thing is like, the more you give, the more you get, for sure. And I just think it's being authentic and being yourself and being real, and, and being kind and being human,and all these things that people talk about today. But it's, it's quite simple, really, it's, are you a trustworthy person? Do you go above and beyond even when the chips are down? I mean, I've had deals that went south. But I did every, you know, I did everything under the sun to try to save those deals or hire attorneys at my own expense and try to, you know, do everything I can. And I think people know that. They know that I'm going to treat their capital like it's my own, or I'm going to go above and beyond to make sure everything's above board and can have a favorable outcome. Now things can happen. But I think a lot of it's how you handle it and how you communicate and things like that. [00:15:29] Sam Wilson: Excellent. Excellent. Appreciate that. Tell me this. When you look to the future and you say, Hey, in five years, this is where I want my companies to be, this is where I want to be. What does that look like? [00:15:40] Dave Van Horn: Well, I, I might be retired in five years. Now, retirement's a funny word. I don't see me stopping like in the traditional sense, let's leave it that. But now, I think my company, well, we already know. We already have a 10-year vision and things like that. In five years, we'll be at about 3 billion under management. We'll probably be at around a billion in private equity. And then hopefully we can build a lot of good as well along the way. So, you know, we do a lot of things to try to impact the community, whether it's affordable housing type things and, other programs that we're working on. So, hopefully, we will be able to give back more and, take care of our, all the stakeholders, our staff, our investors, and help others build wealth, really. It's that whole share, build, and preserve wealth concept. [00:16:26] Sam Wilson: Right. No, I like that. I like that. Dave, here's a question for you. When it comes to scaling or starting out or somebody that's saying, Hey, look, you know, in the name of the show is How to Scale Commercial Real Estate. So the idea, you know, is that somebody's going, I really want to grow into commercial assets. What's one piece of advice you would give to somebody if they said, Hey, I'm ready to go large. How do I do it? And they came to you. What would you say? [00:16:48] Dave Van Horn: Well, for one is you got to learn what you're doing to a point. So one of the things I did was I shadowed other people doing it. So when I first started raising capital, I actually went to work for a company in New Jersey and they hired me to help raise capital. But I learned a lot from them about not only raising capital, but commercial real estate, 'cause that was what the money was being used for. So you don't necessarily have to do everything yourself. You can shadow or mentor with someone who's already doing it, which makes a lot more sense than trying to go out and be the trailblazer or the first person with arrows in your back, so to speak. Success leaves clues. You can learn a lot from people that are really successful at doing it. And if it's an area that you're not familiar with build a team that is. I know the one outfit that I worked for, they were doing mobile home parks and they had never done 'em before. And they were doing storage as well. But they brought a crackerjack team together. You know, they had people on their board. I mean, the one guy was a, a mobile home developer for the last 35 years, you know, that, kind of thing. Same way with their attorney and their accountant were well versed in these areas, right? So they brought in experts. They also had a management company that was, you know, around forever. They also had a commercial broker who just specialized in mobile home parks in the Midwest. You know, it was like, they didn't just go, oh, well, we don't know what we're doing and we're going to wing it, you know? It was, yeah, it was a lot more than that. They went out and built a team that did, even though they didn't necessarily have all the skills, but most of these are commercial real estate especially, it's a team sport. You're not going to be good at everything anyway. And if you think you are, that's another problem, I think. We all like to think we're great at everything, but I know I'm not, right? I know I'm not an excellent underwriter. Does that mean I don't know anything about commercial real estate? No, I absolutely do. But there's people that like to sit in Excel all day and play around. That's not me, right? But it, that guy that's playing with Excel probably can't raise the capital either. It's a team sport just like property management, that's its own thing, right? Just like construction management, that's its own thing. 'Cause, you know, I've built a lot of stuff. And when I was a contractor, a lot of our customers had four to 600 units and we used to do the monthly turnovers, right, so I do have a strong sense of what that takes to turn over X number of units each month and things like that. So they're all different skill sets. They're all different things. And it is a team sport. It's just figure out what you're good at and bringing the folks that are good at the other parts. You know, some people are great at operations, right? Some people are great at managing people. Just because, you know, not all leaders are managers, right? [00:19:23] Sam Wilson: Yeah, like you said, you know, build the team around, you find the people that are really good at, you know, what it is that you're not, and build them around you. Yeah, that's critical. You mentioned a lot of things I'm not good at, underwriting, man. That's a tough one. I don't know, like, I'm just not great at it. So that's really, really cool. Dave, I thank you for coming on the show today. Is there any last piece of advice you'd like to share here with the listeners before we sign off? [00:19:45] Dave Van Horn: Piece of advice? Don't be afraid to get started. But I think a lot of it has to do with your, you know, it's always the same things. It's the sources of deals. It's the capital. It's the people, right? So it's networking. I think all those things help put the elements together and don't be afraid to do it. I mean, commercial is just bigger numbers, right? You know, I'm very comfortable doing commercial deals. It doesn't even phase me. I know a lot of people get nervous at that, but I think there's actually some advantages to it. The larger the loans get. You know, I was telling some of the people on my team that were newer, they were a little rambunctious about, you know, Hey, we're getting into commercial, it's bigger deals. But I go, Hey, guys, there's a professional appraisal done. There's a bank that's doing a lot more due diligence than us on this asset 'cause they wouldn't want to do that loan otherwise, right? So there's, there's other parties that can help out in some of these areas that give you a better comfort level. So that, you know, we don't have to be, like you said, experts in everything. There's other people that are coming along for the ride with us, whether it's our real estate broker, our lender, our, you know, title company, all these different things. They're there. If it was that crazy, they wouldn't do the loan, right? To a point, right? [00:20:59] Sam Wilson: That's awesome. Thank you, Dave, for sharing, certainly appreciate coming on the podcast today. It was an honor and privilege to have you on here. If our listeners want to get in touch with you or your PPR Note Co., what is the best way to do that? [00:21:10] Dave Van Horn: Probably the best way is pprnoteco.com. You could definitely sign up. We have all kinds of resources on there and definitely reach out to me. I'm also on BiggerPockets and LinkedIn. I have a distressed mortgage group on LinkedIn. You can seek me out there. On BiggerPockets, we answer a lot of questions in the forum. So anytime somebody has something, we're glad to help out, you know? [00:21:29] Sam Wilson: Awesome. Dave, thank you so much. Certainly appreciate it. [00:21:32] Dave Van Horn: My pleasure.

Next, Jeff talks with Calvin Smith, serial entrepreneur, businessman, and chairman of the Startup Junkie Foundation who learned from his mistakes and used those lessons to grow as an entrepreneur. Finally, Jeff chats with Ronnie Brewer, former Arkansas Razorback and NBA basketball player turned recruiting coordinator, about what it takes to be successful.

And it's so unique because not a lot of products these days really are doing that.” - Bo Mo, (6:04) “...What we need is the next generation of people coming up…to give back selflessly, without expecting anything in return and saying, ‘Hey, if I give back to this community, we're all better for it. I'm better for it.'” - Calvin Smith, (17:42) “...The constraints that you have on yourself [are]…only in your mind. If you let that go, anything is possible and you can achieve anything. And we're a prime example with the Razorbacks. But again, we're just scratching the surface. And that's motivation to people in the entrepreneurial world, and you can do anything, but don't just settle for scratching the surface - keep on grinding, keep on getting better.” - Ronnie Brewer, (26:05)
Jesus Tells Us of Eternal Reward . . . And the Reverse The Homily opens again with St James letter (not included within this audio). Scripture recounts someone who has stored up his treasures for the last days. Worldly goods are stored. Scripture says lets look at your wealth. You withheld wages from your workers. How will that help you in your last days?! You exploited others! That is not really going to help you in your last days! James does not say . . . if you are wealthy you are damned. No! There is a danger when one gives oneself over to profit or worldly goods. Hear more about what James tells us! In the Gospel, there is a similar theme that Jesus speaks to us! A simple thing . . . a simple act of giving someone a cup of water, because they are connected to the Lord. . . has a touch of eternity. Then Jesus continues the discussion. If one causes a little one to pull away from the Lord . . . Or, if one focuses only on worldly goods . . . He describes what will happen! Listen to what the Lord tells us about Eternal Reward . . . and What We Need to Do Now! Listen to this Meditation Media.
