Why is zoning so opaque, and what if making it more accessible could unlock the future of our cities?Quang Truong, architect and founder of UrbanForm, joins Most Podern to unpack how zoning works, why it became so complex, and what it will take to make it transparent, legible, and collaborative. From trophy architecture in New York to building tools in Portland, Quang shares his journey from chasing prestige to reshaping the systems that shape our neighborhoods. He explains why zoning isn't neutral, how bad actors weaponize complexity, and why he believes the built environment needs a new alliance between architects, planners, and developers.Subscribe to Most Podern on:Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/3zYvX2lRZOpHcZW41WGVrpApple Podcasts - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/most-podern-podcast/id1725756164Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/@MostPodernInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/most.podernLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/most-podernKeywordszoning, urban development, architecture, community, Urban Form, zoning codes, housing, city planning, collaboration, urban planning,Chapters00:00 The Journey from New York to Portland09:24 Understanding Zoning and Its Impact on Architecture12:25 The Evolution of Client Relationships in Architecture15:26 Navigating the Challenges of Urban Development18:34 The Role of Technology in Modern Architecture24:30 The Shift in Development Dynamics27:33 Zoning as a Common Language30:41 Understanding the Complexity of Zoning35:05 The Power Dynamics in Zoning37:36 Urban Form: Decoding Zoning42:21 Who Benefits from Zoning?45:36 Opening Zoning to the Public49:41 The Ideal Zoning System55:41 Navigating Zoning Challenges57:56 The Role of Zoning in Community Development01:01:30 Architects and the Design Conversation01:06:55 The Complexity of Zoning Regulations01:10:55 The Future of Urban Development01:25:00 A Post-Rational Era in Urban PlanningLinksUrbanFormQuang Truong, AIADiller Scofidio + Renfro (DSR)The BroadNBCUniversalThe Economics of Zoning Laws - William A.

In this episode of the Admittedly Podcast, host Thomas Caleel takes a deep dive into one of the most important questions in the college admissions process: What's the difference between a school counselor and an independent college counselor? Thomas explores when and why families may want to seek outside help, how to ensure school and independent counselors work in harmony, and the key advantages of taking a proactive approach to admissions guidance.  Key Takeaways:  The Role of School Counselors: School counselors work hard and care deeply about student success. Any work with an independent counselor should complement—not replace—the guidance of your school counselor. Respect and collaboration with your school counselor are essential. A strong relationship can lead to a great recommendation letter and additional support in the admissions process.  The Different Kinds of School Counseling: In large public schools, counselors often have overwhelming caseloads, making outside help invaluable in the admissions process. In smaller public, charter, and private schools, counselors tend to have dedicated staff for the admissions counseling process, making it easier to access guidance. However, they still balance multiple responsibilities, large caseloads, and often conflicting priorities.  Limitations of School Counselors: Counselors must serve entire student populations, balance school relationships with universities, and often don't have the bandwidth for deep, personalized strategy work.  Strategic College Planning: Outside counselors can help with detailed aspects of the application process, including essays, recommenders, extracurricular strategy, and overall positioning for top schools.  Why Some Schools Disapprove of Private Counselors: Certain schools may discourage outside counselors for various reasons. Families should understand their school's stance and decide what's best for their specific situation.  Who Benefits the Most From Outside Counselors?: Students aiming for competitive schools, students without strong school counselor support, and those needing additional advocacy may benefit most from outside counseling. Counseling can make a huge difference in the college admissions process. While school counselors are dedicated and doing their best, their priorities and responsibilities extend beyond just one student's success. That's why it's crucial for families to take control of their child's college journey. If you have the resources, consider investing in outside counseling or dedicating time to independent research and strategic planning. Don't rely solely on your school counselor—proactively seek the best guidance to maximize opportunities. Most importantly, keep pushing forward! Every student's journey is unique, and learning from others' experiences can be incredibly valuable.  We invite you to share what has worked (or hasn't) for your family on Instagram and TikTok at @admittedlyco—your insights could help others navigate the same challenges.

Should private equity be allowed in your 401(k)? 70 million Americans have roughly $12 trillion in retirement accounts and the high fee private equity firms want a piece of that. Private equity comes with higher risk than traditional stocks and bonds that are found in retirement accounts. The big difference with private equity is they are generally illiquid investments in companies that are too small or risky to issue publicly traded shares. The businesses they invest in don't issue quarterly reports on earnings and the valuations can at best be called questionable. It should be noted that private funds can tie up investors' money for years and may give you some type of loose valuation of what your investment is worth. The fees that these funds charge is around 2 1/2%, which is well above the average fund of a half percent or so in current 401(k)s. Private equity tries to claim their investments far outperform the stock and bond markets, but a study from Boston College in 2024 found that long-term returns for pension funds, which allow alternatives, generated about the same investment return as a 60/40 split of stocks and bonds. Wall Street and the owners of these private equity funds just want to generate more fees even if it means putting your 401(k) in danger with high-risk investments with little to no liquidity. I'm in hopes that private equity's pursuit of trying to get their hands on your retirement accounts hits a brick wall and the regulators protect your retirement plan.    A bitcoin strategic reserve is a terrible idea Last week there was an executive order signed to create a strategic bitcoin reserve for the United States. Crypto enthusiasts were pleased by the action, but disappointed that the order did not specify a buying schedule or clear strategy to buy more bitcoin. In the current fashion, the reserve will include coins that are already owned by the government that it seized from past law enforcement actions. The US currently owns more than 198,000 bitcoins that are worth about $17 billion. Given our large debt and the current deficit, I think it is just silly to borrow money and buy a volatile asset like bitcoin. The government is not here to make investment profits with our taxpayer dollars, if that were the case why wouldn't they also buy individual stocks? Something like the Strategic Petroleum Reserve makes sense as that commodity plays such an important part in our day to day lives. Bitcoin has no impact on our day to day lives and I just can't see what the strategic benefit would be outside of shooting for investment gains. We should be focused on paying down debt and reducing deficits rather than trying to generate investment returns with taxpayer money. I think even the action of keeping seized bitcoin is a mistake as that could be used to reduce debt. As for the price of bitcoin, I believe it could keep falling. There seems to have been a lot of catalysts that took place last year including the launch of ETFs and a more crypto friendly administration taking office. I don't see many new catalysts in the near future, which could lead to steeper declines. For me, I don't want my own dollars or my tax dollars in bitcoin or any other cryptocurrency for that matter.   Inflation report puts stagflation risks at ease The headline Consumer Price Index (CPI) for February came in at 2.8%, which was below the estimate of 2.9% and less than January's reading of 3%. Core CPI, which excludes food and energy came in at 3.1%, which was also below the estimate of 3.2%. This reading was less than January's reading of 3.3% and it marked the lowest increase since April of 2021 when we saw inflation rise 3%. That was really the beginning of the inflation problems as the March 2021 core CPI rate was 1.6%. I've said it before, but with inflation at these levels I really don't see it as a problem. There are some areas like eggs that increased 59% compared to last year, but outside of that most categories are quite tame. Shelter also continues to lift the inflation numbers as the index rose 4.2% in the month of February. This was the smallest increase for the shelter index since December 2021, but it still remains above both the headline and core numbers, which means it is putting upwards pressure on those reports. This report would have shown limited impact from the recent tariffs, so it will be interesting to see in the coming months what the numbers look like as the tariffs work their way through supply chains. I still believe inflation will not be a problem in 2025 and that the Fed will be able to cut rates a few times this year.   Another win on the inflation front The February Producer Price Index (PPI) showed no change in the pricing level when compared to January. For the 12-month period it rose 3.2%, which was much better than last month's reading of 3.7%. Core PPI, which excludes food and energy actually fell 0.1% from January and the annual increase of 3.4% was down from last month's reading of 3.8%. This report helps us breathe a sigh of relief as December and January produced hotter readings. As we've been saying, inflation will not go down in a straight line and month to month the readings will be bumpy, but the general trend should be lower. As we said with CPI, it will be interesting to see how the tariffs impact these inflation reports in the coming months. One thing that does not get much coverage is that we had tariffs back in 2018 and inflation did not see a major spike. Hopefully that will be the case again and we can move on from this battle against inflation that has lasted a few years now.   Who Benefits from Repealing the “SALT” limit? One of the more controversial changes in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 was the $10,000 limit placed on the State and Local Tax (SALT) itemized deduction.  Prior to 2018, those who itemized could deduct the full amount of state income taxes and property taxes on their federal tax returns.  Under current law through the end of this year, only the first cumulative $10,000 of these taxes is deductible.  This obviously hurts high earners in states like California.  Someone making half a million dollars per year and paying $40,000 in California income taxes only receives a deduction on the first $10,000 and receives no additional deduction for any property taxes they pay. While there isn't as much public sympathy for high-income earners paying more tax, this limit also impacted California homeowners, especially first-time homebuyers.  When buying a home in California, property taxes are about 1.2% of the purchase price of that home. Thanks to Prop 13, property taxes increase minimally after purchase and generally much less than the property value increases. This means the longer you own a home, the lower your property taxes are relative to the fair market value of the property.  This also means that property taxes are most expensive when first buying a home.  In California, home values are high, mortgage rates are high, insurance costs are high, utilities are high, and because of the high value of homes, property taxes are also high. Virtually everything about homeownership in California is expensive, so it's no wonder people are struggling to afford a house. This phenomenon has gotten worse in recent years, but it's not new.  Regarding the SALT deduction, it is common for homeowners to have state income taxes and property taxes that exceed the $10,000 limit even if they're not really “high-earners” because of the income needed to simply afford a home and its corresponding property taxes.  A young family could easily be looking at $20,000 to $25,000 just in state and local taxes, most of which would not be deductible due to the SALT limit.  While the SALT deduction is mainly thought of as a high-earner issue, a lot of normal people in California would benefit from its repeal, especially if federal tax rates do not increase back to their pre-2018 levels.   Companies Discussed: DoorDash, Inc (DASH), Rocket Companies, Inc.

In today's episode Alex Dolesky, founder of Uranium Digital, explains why a commodity powering 10% of global electricity still trades through phone calls and decade-long contracts. After discovering he couldn't express a bullish view on uranium like other commodities, Alex set out to build the first institutional-grade spot market on Solana, bringing transparency and efficiency to one of the world's most archaic markets. Today's conversation explores uranium's critical role in powering AI data centers, why traditional institutions are finally embracing crypto infrastructure, and how modernizing markets could accelerate nuclear's renaissance.

Therefore this joy of mine is now complete. 30 He must increase, but I must decrease.”31 He who comes from above is above all. He who is of the earth belongs to the earth and speaks in an earthly way. He who comes from heaven is above all. 32 He bears witness to what he has seen and heard, yet no one receives his testimony. 33 Whoever receives his testimony sets his seal to this, that God is true. 34 For he whom God has sent utters the words of God, for he gives the Spirit without measure. 35 The Father loves the Son and has given all things into his hand. 36 Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life; whoever does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him.

Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) serves as a powerful framework for self-improvement and effective communication, distinct from traditional therapy. It functions as a coaching tool that reprograms thought patterns, enabling individuals to achieve personal and professional goals. By shifting mindsets, NLP cultivates positivity, enhances relationships, and provides practical tools to address limiting beliefs. It focuses on empowering individuals to uncover their potential and create meaningful change in how they perceive and interact with their environment.NLP has proven effective in a range of scenarios, from managing corporate negotiations to improving family dynamics. It helps individuals alleviate stress, identify subconscious barriers, and gain clarity around their goals. Its adaptability makes it valuable for young adults seeking direction, professionals refining their interpersonal skills, and anyone striving for personal growth. By fostering self-awareness and a proactive mindset, NLP equips individuals to overcome obstacles and align their actions with their aspirations.Highlights of the Podcast00:11 - Introduction to NLP01:04 - NLP vs. Talk Therapy01:51 - Explanation of NLP02:49 - Reprogramming Mindset for Positivity06:08 - Understanding Perception and Reality07:56 - High-Stakes Negotiation Background14:22 - Application of NLP in Parenting and Relationships18:12 - Self-Improvement through NLP20:58 - Reducing Stress and Emotional Triggers25:04 - Open Loop and Gratitude Practice30:15 - Breaking Negative Patterns and Programing38:56 - Who Benefits from NLP40:46 - NLP's Role in Marriages and Partnerships43:29 - Empowering Youth with NLP47:24 - Cultural and Individual Perspectives54:05 - Closing Thoughts

I believe that this is an important cause both for its practical and symbolic impacts.The Jones Act is the ultimate embodiment of our failures as a nation.After 100 years, we do almost no trade between our ports via the oceans, and we build almost no oceangoing ships.Everything the Jones Act supposedly set out to protect, it has destroyed.

Topic: Archons and their Manipulative ControlIn this episode, we are diving deep into the conspiracy of the Archons, a force that manipulates humanity on every level, from emotions to political power structures. These are the ultimate antagonists of human freedom. Derived from Gnostic teachings, Archons are described as formless, energetic entities that hijack human consciousness, twisting it with fear, anxiety, and ignorance. Their control extends to the political elite, media, and corporations, essentially the "powers that be"—who operate as their human puppets.GET THE BOOK OF SACRET SECRETShttps://www.whythebigsecret.com/merchSubscribe to Youtubehttps://www.youtube.com/@whythebigsecretAntagonist: The Archons and Their Human PuppetsThe Archons are rulers in a cosmic hierarchy designed to keep humanity enslaved within a false reality, sometimes described as the Demiurge's prison. They can't create, only manipulate what already exists, twisting reality into an inverted version of the true cosmos. These entities use political leaders, corporations, and media empires as their foot soldiers, who consciously or subconsciously spread fear, misinformation, and division to maintain control .Protagonist: The Symbolizer (Roderick Martin )Standing against this vast, hidden system is Roderick Martin, the Symbolizer, a seeker exposing these hidden layers of manipulation and deception.

Your mission is to reveal the true nature of the world and tear down the veil that blinds people to the deeper, spiritual truth.Key Facts Exposing the Antagonist's Control:Emotional Manipulation: Archons feed on fear and anxiety. They use these negative emotions to keep humans trapped in a lower vibrational state. This feeds their power​.Perception Control: They manipulate human perceptions, ensuring we view the world through a distorted lens. This keeps the masses ignorant of their true potential .Political and Corporate Power: The Archons have infiltrated world governments and corporations, creating a one-percent elite who perpetuate wars, economic slavery, and environmental destruction to benefit from the chaos​.Layers of Deception to Uncover:The Illusion of Reality: Human society is structured like a prison, one that ensures people remain ignorant of their true spiritual nature.

The Elite, their human counterparts, maintain their wealth, status, and power by keeping the world in a constant state of division, ensuring that no one questions the system​.What's at Stake?The stakes are high: the very freedom of human consciousness. If left unchecked, the Archons will continue to push humanity deeper into fear, division, and ignorance, ensuring their endless control over reality.

Who Benefits from Lifting Sanctions on Buying Venezuelan Bonds? Banning U.S. parties from buying Venezuelan bonds was probably a bad idea. But was it a good idea to lift the ban last fall? Investors apparently sold the Biden administration on the idea that lifting the ban would yield big benefits: bonds had migrated into the hands of parties acting as proxies for U.S. adversaries like Russia. Lifting the ban would cause the bonds to migrate back to U.S. investors, giving them (and, indirectly, the U.S. government) a seat at the table when a restructuring eventually happens. That was the story, anyway. But does it make sense? Or were investors selling the Biden administration a bill of goods, advocating for a policy change that would enrich them without doing squat to change the geopolitics of Venezuelan debt? Kejal Vyas (Wall Street Journal) has covered the machinations behind the policy shift, and he enlightens us about all things Venezuela. Producer: Leanna Doty

The importance of proper polishing and correction before applying DOS is emphasized, as well as the need for regular care and maintenance to keep the coating looking its best. The episode concludes with a reminder of the dependability and convenience of DOS for car enthusiasts and professionals alike.

In this episode, you'll also hear:The only two things your readers actually care aboutHow to write a book that your ideal reader is guaranteed to loveQuestions to ask yourself to determine who you are writing for and what they want to readYour greatest qualification as an author — and how to use it effectivelyIf you missed the previous episodes in this series, be sure to check them out here!Zig Ziglar says it well: “You can have everything in life you want, if you will just help enough other people get what they want.” And that's exactly what you want, isn't it? As an aspiring author, you want to change lives. Every aspiring author does! But for some reason, the most important person in the book-writing process often gets left out in the cold. You see, most aspiring authors write for themselves instead of for the marketplace that's going to buy their book. This is a big mistake, because it ends up robbing them of the influence and impact they need to actually change lives. What Do Readers Actually Care About?Here's the hard truth: No one but your parents — and maybe other family members — actually cares about the book you are writing. Yes, the people who love you are happy that you want to write a book. But the end reader only wants two things:Answers to their questionsSolutions to their problemsThat means the end reader will only be interested in your book if, and only if, it does those two things. So the big question is: Who are you writing for? If you can figure that out before you start writing your book, then you will have a book that your ideal reader will love. Why? Because you will literally be catering the book to them. If you have a value proposition, then the value your book delivers to your ideal reader will make them want to choose your book above all others. So you've got to determine who you are called to help and settle on the problem you are called to solve. And most likely, this is a problem that you have already solved for yourself or others. You can't sell to everyone — instead, you need to get clear on a specific niche audience that you want to reach. Who Benefits from Your Book?Most aspiring authors try to sell to everyone, because it seems like everyone can benefit from their book. And while this may be true for some, the majority of the time this ends up sabotaging your results. So, to keep that from happening, you've got to get clear on the exact type of person that will benefit from your book. Ask yourself:What is keeping that person up at night? What is disrupting their ideal life? What does the presence of this problem look and feel like? How can you position your book as the answer and/or solution? If you can connect your book to the pain and problems that your ideal reader is encountering, then you will become the expert. Your qualification is more than just your credentials and the letters behind your name — it's in your relatability.Your ideal audience will connect with your book's message because what you write (and what you say when you speak) feels right to them. Because you speak their language, and you've connected with them in such a way that they feel connected to you emotionally. Because they see themselves benefitting from buying your book and joining your tribe. So you've got to pick your persona. Don't try to boil the ocean and serve everyone. Instead, get crystal clear on who you're called to serve, and write from their point of view.  BIO:My name is Tamara "Coach Tam" Jackson and I am a published author, Facebook© Certified Digital Marketer, host of the Top 100 Publishing Secrets podcast, and founder of The Christian Authors Network (C.A.N.)

In the episode, Thorsten explains that multi-cloud adoption can be challenging due to the many moving parts involved. However, he emphasizes that the biggest challenge lies in ensuring compliance and governance across multiple clouds, especially in highly regulated industries. To achieve compliance, companies need to document every aspect of their operations, including security, networking, legal compliance, and risk mitigation strategies. Creating documentation for each cloud provider can be time-consuming and costly and this can be a major hurdle for companies looking to adopt multi-cloud solutions. However, he also points out that multi-cloud adoption is often driven by cloud vendors and software providers who want to provide services across diverse infrastructures. While the benefits of multi-cloud adoption can be significant, companies must be prepared to invest time and resources in ensuring that they are compliant with all relevant regulations. ...

In Welcome to the Masquerade: Prelude to the Coming Reset, geopolitical authors and researchers John Hamer and Shannon Rowan team-up to expose a massive hoax, second to none in human history.   Welcome to the Masquerade takes the reader on a journey deep down the rabbit hole while exploring a wide variety of political and esoteric topics—unmasking the main players and their control agendas at the heart of the world's great masquerade of 2020-2022. No subject will be sacrosanct for this discussion, as this epic roundtable will traverse into everything from the Big Tech and Big Pharma partnerships, social-engineering programs, the orchestrated financial resets of the fraudulent world-wide monetary and banking systems, WiFi warfare, and the many fronts of world-wide eugenics. John's vast, encyclopedic knowledge of geopolitics and control agendas coupled with Shannon's in-depth medical and technical expertise alongside her original illustrations make for an astounding collaboration, as they pose the critical question “Cui Bono?” or “Who Benefits" from these unrelenting crimes against humanity. Shannon Rowan is a "WiFi refugee," social critic, freethinking fine artist, writer, geopolitical author and researcher, photographer, dancer, children's book author/illustrator and EMF-awareness activist.  She lives in the wilds of Northern California with her partner and their two cats and is an outdoor enthusiast, avid surfer and sea kayaker.  She had a career as a photojournalist and contributed to major national and international news and travel magazines as photographer and writer.   John Hamer was born and raised in a small village in the Pennine hills in ‘Last of the Summer Wine country' in rural West Yorkshire in the north of England, but now lives on the beautiful North Yorkshire coast, overlooking the North Sea. He spent most of his working life as a corporate slave to the IT industry, before ‘seeing the light' and finally escaping from the dreary, soul-destroying confines of the corporatocracy over twenty years ago. Since then he has been a full-time professional, geopolitical researcher, analyst, public speaker and author, having written and had published eight books to date.  His first, The Falsification of History was, and continues to be, a great success and established his reputation as a writer of ‘real' history, as opposed to the usual lies we are fed by the corporate media in all its forms, on a daily basis.

In this week's episode, host Daniel Raimi talks with Elaine Hill, an associate professor at the University of Rochester, about a recent study that examines the effects of hazardous-waste cleanup on local communities. Hill discusses whether a particular federal cleanup program—the Corrective Action Program established under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act—benefits the residents it intends to help, or if it instead may lead to higher housing prices that could push lower-income residents out of their communities.

It is hard to believe but it is a fact that they organized the blasts on the Nord Stream international gas pipelines, which run along the bottom of the Baltic Sea … It is clear to everyone who benefits from this.”Western imperialism“The West … began its colonial policy back in the Middle Ages, and then followed the slave trade, the genocide of Indian [Indigenous] tribes in America, the plunder of India, of Africa, the wars of England and France against China“What they did was hooking entire nations on drugs, deliberately exterminating entire ethnic groups.

This is a challenge to all. This is a complete denial of humanity, the overthrow of faith and traditional values. Indeed, the suppression of freedom itself has taken on the features of a religion: outright Satanism.”“Do we really want, here, in our country, in Russia, instead of ‘mum' and ‘dad', to have ‘parent number one', ‘parent number two', ‘number three'?

Much like the Girl with No Name from Game of Thrones, this week is a Niche with No Search Volume. After talking about indexation and the next phase of the indexation testing threshold (and who might be the first to learn what I find) - I talk about this niche thing and what it got me thinking and why we charge for keyword research. If you're a business owner, I get it. But there's a lot behind search research. Yes, we know what YOU are but do you know what your clientele needs or wants - that's where you can shine. Matching up your service with a need - is going to make you more complete in the digital world. You're way more than just a "fill in the blank". When SEO's Fight With Their Words, Who Benefits?

Conversations about Information Architecture Dan Brown talks with Andy Vitale about the Lens of Who Benefits

The entire world is confused, helpless, and living in fear over the last 18 months, as the hype over the Covid-19 virus mounts. Why is this happening? And, most importantly, WHO BENEFITS?

How to Master Your Sales with Cold CallingCold Calling· John Molyneux is the bestselling author of Sales Samurai Master. He believes and promotes cold calling as a way to drive sales. People don't like the idea of selling and much less cold calling, which is why it doesn't work for them. Cold calling is a numbers game and still an efficient way of finding new clients and leads.· The fear of rejection. Many people including you are afraid of the rejection you're likely to receive, but once you get used to it and focus, it will become easy. The secret is to speak to as many people as you can to make money.Change Your Mindset· Society instills in us that we don't want to be rejected. Rejection from a cold-calling prospect is not personal, it's about the product and it not being the right fit for the prospect. New salespeople don't want to be told NO and have the goal of selling to everybody, which makes the idea of cold calling challenging.· Relax and be yourself. Be honest with your prospects by being brief, going straight to the point, and taking as little time as you can. Is cold calling marketing?Who Benefits from Leveraging Cold Calling?· Majority of businesses. John suggests business owners be ready to cold call and lead by example so your salespeople can learn from you.· People fail due to the fear of not doing it. You have to get used to cold calling consistently to get used to the rejection. Cold calling has been given a bad name when it's being done every day without people even realizing it. What Sales Experts Do That Others Don't· Seasoned sales professionals have accepted sales as part of their makeup. John advises new salespeople to be authentic; selling without selling by being yourself and providing the needed help. You have to set sales to become great at sales, instead of thinking of it as a job.· Be your own best friend or your own worst enemy. If you tell yourself, you can't sell then you can't sell and if you tell yourself you can sell, then you will sell. Sales is a learnable skill that you have to perfect over a period of time.Time of a Sales Cycle· The length of a sales cycle varies, but the techniques are exactly the same. John uses the same sales techniques he uses to close a $20 offer as he uses closing a 6k offer. You have to present value to your client for them to see it and buy no matter the amount of money they spend. How to Cold Outreach and Cold Call· John shares a step-by-step framework of how he approaches prospects online by first following them, then engaging with their content, and then reaching out and adding value before starting to sell to them. You apply the same principles when cold calling but by being in the zone.LinkedIn Opportunities as They Relate to Leveraging Cold Calling· LinkedIn is always going to be a good platform for business-related stuff and lead generation, especially if you have an expert on the side of lead generation.· John is currently utilizing Clubhouse to promote what he does and has been getting quality connections. He's been hosting a small community that has more value than he can get with a huge community.Why Cold Calling· John describes how he fell into cold calling after doing door to door which built him the sales foundation he enjoys today. He was driven and had the momentum to keep pushing with cold calling, especially because he's passionate about martial arts.· Martial arts carry the same qualities, teachings, and techniques used in the sales cycle, making the two subjects to largely relate.Follow-Up in Sales· Follow-up is vital and you have to have a system in place where you treat your prospect like a human being by pursuing them while still giving them the option to take their time. John suggests you strike thrice with a prospect if they don't respond the first time before you move on to the next one. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

We've talked a lot about the importance of eating a minimally-processed, whole-foods diet for optimal nutrition. But the truth is, eating this way can be very expensive. So we experimented ourselves to see if it's even possible to eat healthy on a food budget of $30 per week, the average U.S. SNAP benefit (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program).

TWIFO 160: All The Research You Could Ever Need HOST: MARK LONGO, OPTIONS INSIDER MEDIA GROUP CME HOTSEAT GUEST: ERIK NORLAND - EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR AND SENIOR ECONOMIST, CME GROUP FX Brexit: Pound Set For Volatile Fall after Calm Summer? Options traders see a calm summer but volatile fall for GBPUSD. Implied volatility is far below 2016 levels. Options skewness is negative, especially for this fall, but not exceptionally so. A great deal of bad news has been priced into the pound. SONIA futures have abandoned hopes for the BoE rate hike, now suggest a cut is more likely. If U.S. Dollar Weakens, Who Benefits? The U.S. dollar could weaken because of bigger deficits, lower rates and slower growth. British pound may be undervalued because of Brexit and susceptible to a long-term rally. It may be hard for central banks to further devalue Euro, Swiss franc and Yen. Among emerging market currencies, the low-debt, not-commodity-dependent Indian rupee may be a winner. The Renminbi might follow USD downward. Iron ore and coal cast a dark cloud over the future of the Australian dollar. CRUDE OIL Oil: Three Signs of Prices Hitting Bottom - 6/19/19 Oil prices have fallen out of bed again, with WTI crude oil tumbling 24% between April 23 and June 5. Refined products experienced similar declines, with gasoline and ultra-low sulfur diesel off 21% and 18%, respectively, over the same period. Not even attacks on shipping through the Strait of Hormuz appear to be enough to spark a sustained rally in either crude oil or refined markets. In April, when oil prices hit their high for the year, three factors gave warning signals that a decline was becoming more likely: Soybean oil prices, often a leading indicator of crude, had been falling for months (Figure 1). Out-of-the-money (OTM) crude oil options skewness became less negative than usual. OTM options on refined products had achieved extreme positive skewness. Oil: Are Options Skews Reliable Price Indicators? 21 May 2019 By Erik Norland Topics: Energy Off The Charts! examines the pertinent economic issues of the day, providing a deeper dive into complex topics and framing the issues in a way that can lead to a better understanding of the financial and commodities markets. EQUITIES RALLY TAKING A BIT OF A BREATHER TODAY VIX 14.25 - UP 1.5 FROM LAST SHOW VVIX: 86.5 - UNCHD FROM LAST SHOW RVX: 16.40 - UP .4 PTS VIX/RVX SPREAD - 2.15 - TIGHTER BY MORE THAN A POINT FROM LAST WEEK Portfolios and Investing: If/When “Winter” is Coming? The Fed may have overtightened monetary policy. The economic cycle may be gradually turning towards a wintry downturn. In past “winters,” equities have usually underperformed. Short-term bonds could soar because of the Fed's policies. If the Fed doesn't ease policy soon, brace for a surge in volatility. Forces That Drive Equity Select Sectors   GOLD Gold: Impact from U.S. and Chinese Policies Gold has earned broadly similar returns for Chinese and U.S. investors since 2000. The divergence in returns could grow as US and Chinese monetary policy part ways. Growing Chinese debt and a rising U.S. budget deficit could be globally bullish for gold. Fed rate cuts, if they happen, might also be bullish for gold. If the Fed stands firm and does not cut rates, gold prices might suffer. SOYBEANS China, Brazil and the Soybean Crush Chinese growth exerts a strong, positive correlation to soy oil. Chinese growth has a weaker and even inverse relationship with soy meal prices. Soy oil is typically about 2-2.5x more expensive than soy meal per pound. Soy oil has a stronger influence on planting decisions than less valuable soy meal. Soy oil moves in lockstep with the Brazilian real. Soy meal has a much weaker relationship with Brazilian growth.

Welcome to Episode 7 of No Wall They Can Build, the Ex-Worker Podcast's serialized audiobook exploring borders and migration across North America. The Border Patrol, with its swollen budget and lavish technologies, clearly has the technical capacity to stop most, if not all, traffic across the border, yet their behavior seems to be at odds with their stated objective. This installment investigates the actual goal of border policy—which is not to end “illegal immigration,” but to control and manage it. While preventing this migration altogether would have catastrophic effects on the US economy, using selective enforcement to funnel traffic into increasingly remote areas while militarizing and hyper-policing certain areas maintains the labor supply while ratcheting up the profits to be made at every step in the process. A variety of stories—some heartbreaking, some hilarious—illustrate how this approach to enforcement impacts the lives of everyday people as they attempt to travel north into the United States. This episode identifies the various parties—both Republicans and Democrats, private prison and tech corporations, Mexican officials and cartels—who benefit from this counter-intuitive and cruel border policy… while reminding us of its horrific cost in human lives. {May 15, 2019}   -------SHOW NOTES------   Table of Contents: “Answer the Question of Who Benefits or Profits Most…” {0:01} Introduction {0:24} Designed to Kill: Who Benefits? {0:53} Story #1: Lost in the Desert {3:01} The Real Objective of the Border Patrol {4:27} Why No One Really Wants to Stop “Illegal Immigration” {6:20} The Politics and Economics of Border Policy {10:03} Story #2: Desperation {20:00} The Profits of Border Militarization {23:35} Dangers Along the Trail {28:00} Story #3: Good Guides and Bad Guides {30:59} The Unholy Trinity: Governments, Corporations, Cartels {33:07} Story #3: Nacho, Chucho, and Don Bigotes {35:32} Conclusion {42:54} Important Action Alert: No More Deaths is asking that supporters around the US take a moment this week and next week to call the US Attorney's office in Arizona to demand that the government drop all charges against volunteer Scott Warren, who faces felony charges for humanitarian aid work in the desert. Please follow this link for contact information and a script to follow when you call. It will only take a moment, but will be an important gesture of solidarity. Please do it! Content advisory: in the section “Dangers Along the Trail,” beginning around 28:00, there is a brief discussion of the forms of violence, including sexual assault, to which migrants are vulnerable when crossing through the desert. For this audiobook, we will not provide full transcripts of the text of each episode as we do for The Ex-Worker or The Hotwire. If you want to read along, you can find the book in PDF. This week's episode covers pages 115 to 140. Episodes 7 and 8 comprise Designed to Kill, which was originally released as a ‘zine in 2011. You can read or print the zine version here. You can check out our poster diagramming the North American border regime and immigrant solidarity stickers. Stay tuned next week for Episode 8: Designed to Kill, Part II – The Border Patrol, The Game, and The Desert.  

The US-Mexico border is often in the news. But what's usually missing is the cost of the border, both in human terms, and in terms of the political economy of the region itself — the deep entanglement of the livelihoods of people who live in places like Douglas, Arizona with the border industrial complex. Scholar Aaron Bobrow-Strain discusses the militarization of the border and its connection to deindustrialization and economic abandonment.

This is Jerry Bowyer of Townhall Finance for Townhall.com. Let’s remember what all the Mueller, memo and FBI hubbub is about—the accusation that Trump colluded with Russia to get himself elected. One of the rules for determining who did something is to ask cui bono? Who benefits from the election of Trump? Not Russia, that’s for sure. The Trump trade has been terrible for Russia. We just published analysis at Townhall Finance which shows that Russia was the worst performing of the world’s 40 investible markets during Trumps 1st year in office. Poland—the Russian rival—was one of the best. Trump policies have been highly detrimental to Putin’s interests. Most notable is Trump’s pro-energy stance, which Putin mouthpieces like cable outlet RT have been denouncing. If Trump really was elected by Russian money, it’s one of the worst investments any nation has ever made in human history.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Market Rallies on News of Passing Tax Cuts Act Late Friday night, or I guess early Saturday morning, the Senate passed its version of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.  Last week the market, as it became more apparent that the Senate was in fact going to pass the bill, the market was rallying, and continued to rally and, in fact rallied again today.  This was the first chance the market had to react to the Senate actually passing their version of the bill. DJIA Up, NASDAQ Down At one point today: the DJIA was at 24,534, that's the new record high.  It had surrendered most, if not all the gains by the close.  The Dow closed up only about 58 points - still, a new record close at 24,290.  The NASDAQ, on the other hand was down as the correction, and maybe the beginning of a bear market (we don''t know yet).  The correction in the technology sector continues. The NASDAQ was down 72 points today.  Although, even when the Dow was up 250 points earlier this morning, the NASDAQ was still down about 50 points.  So the tech stocks are weak. The S&P ended up negative on the day, although it hit a record high intra-day. Who Benefits? Part of the justification for the markets rallying is the tax cuts. If corporate taxes are going down, then your after tax earnings are going up, and since stocks' value is in theory a function of their after tax earnings, if your after tax earnings goes up, then all else being equal the stock is going to be more valuable. But clearly taxes that are not earning money will not benefit from lower taxes. Republicans Abandon Any Pretense of Smaller Government I wanted to get into an analysis of the Senate version of these tax cuts. There was one Republican senator who voted the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, of course all the Democrats voted against it, but Senator Bob Corker, who voted against it on the principle of   adding to the debt.  There were some interesting rumors floating around last week that in order to get Corker to vote yes, they considered adding an automatic trigger (implementation  seemed crazy to me, and that's why they did not do it) that if the tax cuts did not pay for themselves or the deficit got bigger, an automatic tax increase would be implemented.  What disturbed me the most about this, is:  Why would there be automatic tax increases, why not automatic spending cuts? Why not say that if the tax cuts don't pay for themselves, we'll cut spending in order to pay for the tax cuts?  If this doesn't tell you that the Republican party has completely abandoned any pretense of wanting smaller government, I don't know what does.

Bicycling and the Law Richard L. Duquette EP68 Fairly Defining the Legal Risk of Bicycling   On this episode of Bicycling and the Law, Richard Duquette talks about fairly defining the legal risk of bicycling. A valid perspective requires we discuss bicyclists personal responsibility and protecting the business entities involved in bicycling. What makes a risk legal and what are some of the ways an insurance company can use to escape responsibility? Tune in! Written Release as a Way of Escape There are a couple of ways for an insurance company to escape responsibility. Three ways are; a written release, primary assumption of the risk, and secondary assumption of the risk.   The written release expressly identifies the risk associated with bicycling. For example, it includes a collision with other bicyclists in a race or sliding out while turning a corner. What Makes a Risk Invalid It is important to be clear and accurate when defining the risk. Otherwise, it will be considered an invalid release. Risks that are not associated with bicycling usually won’t be released.   How about in a controlled race course? In such cases, the government or the police are hired to manage the risk. Some argue that the validity of the release depends upon the scope of responsibilities.   There is a need to consider the totality of the circumstances. Who Benefits from a Written Release There are situations that are not covered by the release. One of which could be in the case of defective equipment.   Insurance companies do not need a written release to argue that a bicyclist assumed the risk of injury. Written releases are helpful for event sponsors, directors, organizers and clubs.   References for Fairly Defining the Legal Risk of Bicycling:   CA Civil Code Section 1654   To hear about other ways that an insurance company seek to escape responsibility, download and listen to Fairly Defining the Legal Risk of Bicycling.   Don’t forget to leave us a 5-star rating and review if you enjoyed the show.

The Culture, Media and Sport Committee has begun an inquiry into the Future of the BBC, ahead of the corporations current Royal Charter ending in December 2016. It will look at the role of the organisation, how it's funded, and discuss alternatives to the present licence fee. Steve Hewlett speaks to the Chairman of the Committee, Conservative MP John Whittingdale about the scope of the inquiry and what he's hoping to achieve. Also in the studio is John Tate who, as a former Head of Strategy of the organisation, was instrumental in the last licence fee settlement. He tells Steve why the independence of the BBC needs even greater safeguarding in the course of Charter renewal and licence fee negotiationCritics of Benefits Street have called it, 'poverty porn' that reinforces harmful stereotypes; Channel 4 describes it as a, 'series that reveals the reality of life on benefits'. Since it's airing last week, the programme about residents of James Turner Street has induced an online petition, protests outside the production office, and a question in parliament. So, what did Channel 4 have in mind when it commissioned the series? And is the programme really representing benefit claimants? Steve Hewlett discusses with Ralph Lee, Head of Factual at Channel 4, Executive Producer of Benefits Street Keiran Smith, and Katharine Sacks-Jones from the Who Benefits? campaign.Producer: Katy Takatsuki.
