Hey, investors! Scott Carson here, and I've got a juicy deal that's hotter than a Texas summer! If your lazy assets (and maybe your self-directed IRA) are sitting idle, this is your chance to put them to work on a prime piece of Georgetown, Texas real estate. This isn't some long-haul, snail-paced investment – we're talking a six-month or less turnaround, with conservative numbers figuring in a year!This beauty is one of 48 reverse mortgages we snagged from a hedge fund. The borrower's already passed, HUD's got it cleaned out, and we're looking at a clean, well-maintained property needing just a little lipstick and a fresh coat of paint. Texas foreclosures are fast, and we've got the team ready to rock and roll. This is a potential 10% (or more!) return on your money, secured with a first lien.Here's the breakdown on this Georgetown Goldmine:The Deceased HUD Gem: A clean, 3-bed, 2-bath, 1,348 sq ft home in Georgetown's hot 78628 ZIP code. Borrower deceased, heirs not fighting, property in good shape (interior inspection available!), needs cosmetic updates only – no structural nightmares.The Numbers Make Sense: Current legal balance: $185K. Conservative Fair Market Value: $297K. We're picking up the note for just $170K. Add back taxes and foreclosure costs, and we need $176K in funding. That's over $112K in built-in equity!Exit Strategy 1: Quick Auction Cash! With a 90-day Texas foreclosure and a $191K legal balance (after taxes), a quick auction sale is likely. You get a guaranteed 10% return on your $176K, paid out even if it sells faster than 90 days. We're talking $4,400+ interest in under three months!Exit Strategy 2: REO Flip for Bigger Bucks! If it doesn't sell at auction (our preferred scenario!), we take it back as an REO. An additional $20K for rehab (total $196K invested) for light cosmetic work. Potential net profit of $52K+ with ROI up to 20% if we're doing a one-year prepayment penalty.Due Diligence & Timeline: Full collateral file, realtor CMAs, title update, HUD interior inspection, and exterior video are all available. We're aiming for mid-December funding to kick off a February foreclosure and a March/June sale. Fast, efficient, and profitable!This isn't just another podcast episode; it's a real-time opportunity.

The ASX200 closed up about 0.7%, marking three consecutive days of gains and a weekly rise of roughly 2.2% after last week’s 2.5% slump. Hotter‑than‑expected inflation (headline 3.8%, core 3.3%) pushed RBA rate‑cut odds down to 24% for May. Materials, health and consumer stocks led the upswing while tech, telcos and utilities fell. Zip jumped 7% and DroneShield 8% after a European defence contract; Temple & Webster slumped 33% on a weak trading update. Looking ahead, US inflation, jobless claims and durable‑goods data, plus the RBNZ, UK budget and Beige Book, will shape market sentiment.

In this episode, Jack Cochran and Matthew James are joined by Hannah Bloking, and Allison Macalik, co-founders of 4Under3. They discuss the universal challenge of imposter syndrome in the pre-sales profession, exploring how it manifests, why it affects nearly everyone, and practical strategies to address it. Hannah and Allison share insights from their workshops, including powerful techniques like the "lighthouse speaker" mindset and the importance of naming your imposter to take control of those negative thoughts.

Key Topics Covered Understanding Imposter Syndrome The textbook definition: "The persistent inability to believe that one's success is deserved or has been legitimately achieved as a result of one's own efforts or skills" Why it's being reframed as "imposter phenomenon" rather than syndrome How it manifests differently for everyone The discovery that it affects people of all genders, levels, and backgrounds The Presales Connection Why imposter syndrome is particularly prevalent in pre-sales roles The challenge of being asked to be an expert when you're still learning Why internal demos to your own team are the hardest presentations to give The adrenaline rush of presenting and how it relates to imposter feelings Breaking the Silence Why people suffer in silence with imposter syndrome The power of creating space for vulnerability before major initiatives How company culture needs to embrace these conversations The importance of repeat workshops and ongoing dialogue Practical Techniques The Lighthouse Speaker vs. Spotlight Speaker: Thinking of yourself as lighting the way for others rather than being under scrutiny Naming Your Imposter: Giving your negative self-talk a name (like "Todd") to externalize and control it Reframing: Documenting what happens to realize most failures aren't actually about you Finding Your Person: Identifying someone who can hold you accountable when your imposter is talking The Workshop Impact Why companies become repeat customers How addressing imposter syndrome improves productivity and retention The connection between soft skills training and embracing new frameworks Creating internal communities (like AWS's "The Nest") for ongoing support Looking Forward The personal nature of addressing imposter syndrome The importance of daily practice and repetition How workshops facilitate conversations but individuals must do the work The evolving nature of imposter syndrome as AI and change management accelerate

What happens when a former evangelical-turned-atheist-who-prays sits down with a Catholic engineer–philosopher who nearly became a priest… and then founded a medical device company… and then wrote a book arguing that logic, science, and divinity aren't enemies but dance partners?Frank Schaeffer speaks with Brian Cranley, author of The Call of Wonder: How the God of Reason Created Science in His Image, about the Big Bang, Aquinas, Plato, Aristotle, cosmology, consciousness, mystery, logic, faith, doubt, and why wonder might be the deepest human instinct we share.A conversation that moves from cosmology to parenting, from quantum beginnings to spiritual hunger, from medical science to metaphysics, and straight into the heart of what it means to be human.Brian's book: The Call of Wonder: How the God of Reason Created Science in His Imagehttps://briancranley.comI have had the pleasure of talking to some of the leading authors, artists, activists, and change-makers of our time on this podcast, and I want to personally thank you for subscribing, listening, and sharing 100-plus episodes over 100,000 times.Please subscribe to this Podcast, In Conversation… with Frank Schaeffer, on your favorite platform, and to my Substack, It Has to Be Said.

If this season has stirred up those feelings of unsafety, you're not alone. Today's conversation speaks directly into that tender, vulnerable place.

She's joined by Colleen Montague, a licensed marriage and family therapist who works closely with parents and children in the aftermath of loss. Together, they offer a compassionate, grounded perspective on fear, faith, family grief, and why it's so normal to feel unsafe after someone you love dies. In this episode, you'll learn… why grief can make your whole body feel unsafe—and how God gently restores steadiness how children, teens, and adults experience grief differently inside the same family simple ways to stay grounded when fear pulls you into the past or the future why community matters more than ever when grief feels overwhelming Here are the resources mentioned in today's conversation: Book: When Grief Comes Home: A Gentle Guide for Living Through Loss While Supporting Your Child by Erin Nelson & Colleen Montague — available on Amazon: When Grief Comes Home Jessica's House (California) — a grief support center for children and families: https://www.jessicashouse.org NACG (National Alliance for Children's Grief) — search for a grief program near you by entering your ZIP code: https://nacg.org The Dougy Center — the first grief center for children in the U.S., offering nationwide resources: https://www.dougy.org As you listen, my prayer is that your heart feels met, seen, and steadied.

Send us a textLeads aren't dying. They're expiring while your team gets to them. We unpack a practical playbook for contractors to capture more jobs without buying more clicks, focusing on speed to lead across online scheduling, AI-enabled chat, and automated follow-ups that never sleep. Joined by Danielle from Contractor In Charge and OnePath, we talk through what actually converts: fewer fields, faster confirmations, wider time windows, and a frictionless path from “I have a problem” to “I've got a booked visit.”We start with the hard truth from the data: if you wait six hours on a weekday or forty-eight over the weekend to reply, the customer is gone and the lead looks “bad.” From there, we show how to strip obstacles out of your web experience—let customers describe the issue in their own words, enter a phone and ZIP, see availability, and book in four steps. Worried about routing or edge cases? Book first, optimize later. Then we dive into chat, where most visitors want simple answers fast. AI can greet, qualify, and schedule 24/7, but must offer a human-out at any time to build trust and handle nuance.Form fills still matter, but only with instant automation. We outline how to trigger same‑second replies via text and email, push to scheduling, and follow up on abandoned interactions without relying on a busy inbox. Danielle explains how OnePath brings all of this together—web scheduler, chat, text‑to‑book, and AI-driven, human-backed support—so every channel stays fast, familiar, and flexible. The result is higher conversion, better customer experience, and real protection when shoulder season softens demand.If this conversation helps you spot your slowest link, share it with a teammate, subscribe for more field-tested growth tactics, and leave a quick review to tell us where you're losing speed today.If you enjoyed this chat From the Yellow Chair, consider joining our newsletter, "Let's Sip Some Lemonade," where you can receive exclusive interviews, our bank of helpful downloadables, and updates on upcoming content.

David Clark sits down with Jessica Farr-Jones, Portfolio Manager at Regal Partners, one of Australia's most dynamic alternative investment firms now managing over $20 billion across hedge funds, private credit, real assets, and global equities. Jessica's journey from JP Morgan's investment-banking floors in Sydney & New York to launching her own $150 million Global Small Companies Fund inside Regal is a story of precision, discipline, and conviction. She reveals how her fascination with both maths and market psychology shaped her investment approach—one that blends the rigour of quantitative analysis with the intuition of great traders. Regal evolved from a billion-dollar boutique to a global powerhouse, and why its founder, Phil King, models the firm on the philosophy of Barcelona FC—attracting the world's best talent to perpetuate excellence. Jessica unpacks: * The anatomy of a 20 % p.a. strategy and what it takes to consistently generate alpha across private and listed markets. * How Regal's long-short framework creates “two times the opportunity to make money” without increasing net risk. * Why the rotation into small-caps could be the most powerful trade of the next market cycle. * And the lessons learned from early-stage investments in names like Life360, Zip, and Iris Energy, now a billion-dollar AI and Bitcoin infrastructure play.

Unpacking The Gospel with Christian Smith, PhDFrank Schaeffer joins sociologist Christian Smith, PhD, author of "Why Religion Went Obsolete" and "Moral Believing Animals", for a deep conversation about Frank's new book, "The Gospel of Zip."Together they explore the book's central themes: how dogs teach us humility, forgiveness, and connection; what Frank calls the “survival of the friendliest”; and how love, caregiving, and beauty offer a countercultural answer to division and loneliness.Frank reflects on growing up as the son of theologian Francis Schaeffer, the lessons of failure and forgiveness, and why he's giving away "The Gospel of Zip" for free on YouTube.Watch "The Gospel of Zip"https://youtu.be/IiYjrYmMWhAThey discuss faith, loss, and finding meaning beyond dogma—and how religion, evolution, and a sweet little brown dog named Zip all point toward the same truth: “Together is good.

Why am I giving my book away for free?I've been a writer my whole life, but this book—The Gospel of Zip—is different. It's about my dog, Zip. It's about my fifty-six-year relationship with my wife, Genie. It's about what I've learned really matters: love, caregiving, family, friendship. In a world that feels more divided than ever, I wanted to offer something honest and healing. That's why I'm not just selling this book. I'm giving it away for free.For the last seven years, I've poured myself into this project. No strings attached. No catch. Not because I don't value my work, but because I value the message even more. At seventy-three, I don't need to chase a publisher's advance or turn this into a fundraising campaign. What I want most is to share what I've discovered: that the secret to surviving hard times—Trump years, culture wars, political dysfunction—is the same secret that has kept Genie and me together for over half a century. Love. Care. Community. Or, as I put it in the book, “the survival of the friendliest.”We live in an era of echo chambers and algorithms that divide us. But history—and even a dog like Zip—teaches us something better. People have endured far darker times than these by leaning into cooperation, connection, and kindness. That's the lesson Zip lives out every day: greeting everyone as a friend, finding common ground where I might not, reminding me that forgiveness and joy are more powerful than resentment. If we can learn to live that way ourselves, there's no need to stay trapped in bitterness or fear.I have had the pleasure of talking to some of the leading authors, artists, activists, and change-makers of our time on this podcast, and I want to personally thank you for subscribing, listening, and sharing 100-plus episodes over 100,000 times.Please subscribe to this Podcast, In Conversation… with Frank Schaeffer, on your favorite platform, and to my Substack, It Has to Be Said.

In this special 50 Stars, 50 Stories edition of American Potential, host David From celebrates the great state of Nevada — the Battle Born State — and its enduring legacy of freedom, innovation, and resilience. Joining him is Wiz Rouzard, Deputy State Director for Americans for Prosperity–Nevada, whose passion for his adopted home shines through as he connects Nevada's remarkable history to its growing promise today. Wiz takes us back to 1864, when Nevada entered the Union in the midst of the Civil War, helping to secure President Abraham Lincoln's re-election and strengthen the cause of unity. Known for its rugged mountains, independent spirit, and the motto “All for Our Country,” Nevada's story is one of perseverance and bold self-determination. Fast forward 160 years, and that same Battle Born spirit is driving modern reforms. Wiz shares how his team helped make Nevada an open enrollment state, giving every family the freedom to choose the best public school for their child — no longer bound by ZIP code. He explains new legislation that opens doors for foreign-trained doctors to serve in Nevada communities, addressing healthcare shortages while keeping opportunity alive for skilled professionals. And when Hollywood came calling with a proposal for massive taxpayer-funded film subsidies, Wiz and his team stood firm, ensuring that Nevada remains a beacon for free enterprise — not a playground for corporate handouts. Their success in defeating the film tax plan was a major win for fiscal responsibility and local taxpayers. Throughout the conversation, Wiz also shares how Nevada's Battle Born Blueprint continues to guide their mission — expanding educational choice, championing small businesses, protecting donor privacy, and keeping the Silver State a national example of what's possible when people, not politics, lead the way. From silver mines and desert sunsets to new frontiers in opportunity, this episode celebrates Nevada's past, present, and future — one of America's brightest stars in the constellation of freedom.

So much depends on your ZIP code, even children's access to play. But an effort is growing to ensure the playground is where all kids can have fun, learn and heal.“It's where they learn, it's where they build connection, it's where they really establish their identity as a human being in this world,” says Lysa Ratliff, CEO for KABOOM! “And yet, there's extreme disparities in our parks and our schools and our cities and who has access to what.”In this sponsored episode, Ratliff explains how KABOOM! is working in cities such as Baltimore, Oakland and Uvalde in Texas to safeguard a generation's childhood and sense of belonging.KABOOM! is a national nonprofit organization known for building thousands of playgrounds over the past 30 years. Today, the organization is scaling up through its “25 in 5 Initiative” — a plan to partner with 25 cities over five years to end playspace inequity and close the “nature gap” that leaves millions of kids, especially in communities of color, without access to safe, quality green spaces.Ratliff highlights how data, partnerships and community-led design can end inequity.“We're trying to answer a very big question,” says Ratliff. “How can we make sure that every single kid in this country has a chance to grow up in a world that sees them, that values them, that gives them a sense of freedom and belonging and ultimately protects their childhood by any means?”Municipal partners interested in joining the 25 in 5 Initiative can complete an interest survey.

Everywhere you turn, someone's trying to fake something like an image, a voice, or even an entire identity. With AI tools now in almost anyone's hands, it takes minutes, not days, to create a convincing fake. That's changed the game for both sides. The fraudsters have new weapons, and the rest of us are scrambling to keep up. The real question now isn't just how to stop scams, but how to know who or what to trust online. My guest today, Bala Kumar, spends his days on the front lines of that battle. He's the Chief Product and Technology Officer at Jumio, a company working to make digital identity verification faster, smarter, and safer. Bala has more than twenty years in the industry, including leadership roles at TransUnion, and he's seen firsthand how the race between innovation and exploitation never really ends. It just keeps speeding up. In our conversation, Bala shares how generative AI has supercharged the fraud world, what makes identity such a fragile link in digital trust, and why biometrics may finally offer a way forward. We also dig into the psychology behind online risk, how convenience often wins over caution, and what small habits can help people protect themselves in an age where deception looks more real than ever. Show Notes: [01:04] Bala Kumar has a background in product management and fraud prevention from TransUnion to Jumio. [01:59] He describes how fraudsters constantly evolve, forcing companies to anticipate attacks instead of just reacting. [03:56] The quality of manipulated images has skyrocketed, making real vs. fake nearly indistinguishable. [05:17] Jumio's systems catch most fake IDs, but Bala admits even advanced systems must keep auditing for missed fraud. [07:16] Regular audits and rapid response cycles help Jumio identify attack spikes within 24–48 hours. [09:40] Generative AI has dramatically increased the speed and volume of fraud attempts across industries. [11:33] Jumio uses cross-transaction risk analysis to detect emerging fraud patterns and shut down attacks quickly. [13:00] Fraudsters move from one platform to another, always searching for weaker defenses and faster wins. [15:10] Bala explains how fraud prevention has expanded beyond banking into gaming, dating, and gig platforms. [16:38] Consumers crave low friction, which ironically makes them more vulnerable to scams. [17:20] Instant gratification culture pressures companies to reduce security steps, fueling greater risk. [19:52] New AI-driven fraud tactics include injected camera feeds and highly realistic deep fakes. [20:12] Old tricks like “send me a selfie with proof” no longer work—deepfakes can now mimic anything. [22:22] Bala sees biometrics as the next major safeguard for digital identity and real-time verification. [23:12] Facial recognition has become mainstream, paving the way for secure and low-friction identity checks. [26:19] Jumio is already deploying biometric check-ins for events and hotel registrations with great success. [27:30] Account recovery and payout systems now use liveness and device checks to confirm identity safely. [30:09] Bala critiques outdated knowledge-based questions like “What's your favorite food?” as unreliable security. [31:12] Consumers lack visibility into which apps use strong verification or multi-factor authentication. [33:56] He calls for an independent rating system to rank apps based on security and identity protection. [37:53] Bala urges users to question why companies ask for personal data like SSNs or ZIP codes. [39:29] Even a ZIP code and last name can expose personal records, highlighting the need for awareness. Thanks for joining us on Easy Prey.

Shoppers are researching harder and buying faster, and the old guesswork about what to stock is getting expensive. We sit down with Shannon Pinto, VP of Statistical Surveys at Trader Interactive, to pull back the curtain on how real DMV registrations and real-time marketplace behavior from RV Trader, Cycle Trader, and Boatline turn into a clear picture of demand—down to the ZIP code, make, model, and even RV configurations like slide-outs and sleeping capacity. If you run an RV, marine, or powersports dealership, this is a tactical map for smarter inventory, sharper marketing, and better show results.Shannon explains how their team blends DMV records with first-party search and click data to show what's actually selling and what shoppers are hunting for right now. We walk through concrete use cases: choosing which units to haul to a combined auto and boat show, balancing new versus pre-owned mix by neighborhood, and targeting local demographics with creative that speaks to real buyers. We also talk access and privacy—why Statistical Surveys serves businesses, how private info stays protected, and how a Carfax-like history layer is rolling out for marine listings to help reduce risk for buyers and sellers.Beyond the interview, we round out the episode with racing highlights, a tour through pivotal auto history moments—from early EV experiments and Ford's moving assembly line to OPEC's shock and Tesla's supercharger buildout—and timely industry news, including supply chain impacts to aluminum-bodied trucks and a major lending investigation. The throughline is simple: when you align registrations (what sold) with marketplace intent (what's about to sell), you make better calls, faster.

Dr. Wade Banner is a California-board-certified dentist and founder of In Motion Dentists, one of the few practices delivering comprehensive, in-home care—everything from cleanings to crowns and root canals—for seniors, homebound patients, and people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. He also operates a specialized brick-and-mortar clinic in La Verne built for accessibility and behavioral needs.In this episode, Dr. Banner breaks down how portable dentistry actually works (spoiler: a carry-on-sized unit and a 7-minute setup), how partnerships with Regional Centers and RDHAPs unlock access, and why treating isolated patients in urban ZIP codes can feel as “rural” as the farthest county. We dig into workflow, equipment, teledentistry collaboration, and the mindset shift new grads need to serve special healthcare needs—plus how any dentist can start with house calls on a limited basis.Subscribe for more conversations on practical solutions for rural and hard-to-reach care.

As she works toward obtaining accreditation for KIDmistry®, the school's set to officially launch in August 2025. Shartajeyé also encourages others to consider starting their own microschools or educational initiatives, advocating for fresh and creative approaches to learning. Join us for this enlightening discussion about the future of education and the exciting possibilities that lie ahead!Who is Shartajeyé Wright-Fitzhugh?Shartajeyé "Taji" Wright-Fitzhugh is a TEDx speaker, STEM educator, and founder of Kidmistry®, an educational consulting firm helping schools and teachers close opportunity gaps through innovation and equity.

professorjrod@gmail.comStorage didn't just get bigger; it got personal. We rewind to the late '90s and early 2000s to unpack the clash between Iomega's Zip drive and the laser-lit world of the CD—two formats that taught a generation how to back up, carry, and truly own their data. From the pain of 30‑floppy installs to the thrill of dropping a 700 MB burn into a jewel case, we dig into what made each medium take off, where they stumbled, and why their lessons still shape how we save files today.We start with the super floppy dreams behind Zip 100—engineering choices, bold “Click. Zip. Done.” marketing, and the way creatives, students, and IT teams built daily workflows around blue drives and rugged cartridges. Then we confront the trust crisis of the “click of death,” the lawsuits and lost archives, and how fast‑rising alternatives—CD‑ROM, cheaper external hard drives, and the first USB sticks—changed the game. Along the way, we share real‑world snapshots: college labs checking out Zip disks like library cards, E3 press kits living on cartridges, and NASA quietly slotting Zip into space for portable transfer.Next, lasers take center stage. We chart the CD's leap from digital audio to data with 650–700 MB per disc, the fall in drive costs, and the cultural surge fueled by Myst, Encarta, and Wing Commander. CD‑R and CD‑RW flipped the script by giving anyone the power to publish, archive, and share—burning playlists, handing off portfolios, and shipping software at scale. We revisit the AOL CD blitz, the DVD capacity boom, and the slow fade of optical drives as broadband, flash storage, and cloud sync took over. Through it all, a throughline emerges: good storage changes behavior. When saving is simple, people back up. When media is portable, they create and share more.By the end, you'll see why Zip and CD were more than formats—they were habits, rituals, and signals of identity in an era when data became a part of daily life. Hit play, ride the nostalgia, and take away practical lessons on redundancy, media reliability, and the tradeoffs behind every storage shift. If this brought back memories of your first burn or the dreaded click, subscribe, share with a friend, and leave a review to keep the conversation going.Support the showIf you want to help me with my research please e-mail me.Professorjrod@gmail.comIf you want to join my question/answer zoom class e-mail me at Professorjrod@gmail.comArt By Sarah/DesmondMusic by Joakim KarudLittle chacha ProductionsJuan Rodriguez can be reached atTikTok @ProfessorJrodProfessorJRod@gmail.com@Prof_JRodInstagram ProfessorJRod

Writing Imperfect Superhumans: The Story Behind Zip | USDN Interview with Mike ScraseHello Council Members!

In 2018, Brex made a defining decision: rather than rely on middleware providers like Stripe or Marqeta, it built its own payments infrastructure from the ground up. That move, Ben Gammell tells us, gave the company a direct integration with MasterCard and the ability to issue corporate cards in “over 50 plus local currencies.” The choice, he explains, was born of necessity at the time but has since become a structural advantage, offering customers greater control and global reach.That same principle of intentional investment extends to Brex's software strategy. The company designs its expense management platform to meet the demands of sophisticated, high-growth businesses such as Arm and Anthropic. The result, Gammell tells us, is a solution that not only competes with legacy providers like Concur but also improves accessibility for smaller firms “with aspirations of being the next DoorDash or Coinbase.”Partnerships further expand the ecosystem. Because Brex controls its processing stack internally, it can integrate with best-of-breed solutions—Navan in travel, Zip and Coupa in procurement—delivering the breadth that global enterprises require while keeping Brex at the center of the transaction.Looking outward, the company recently began expanding into Europe. Gammell tells us the first priority is to better serve U.S. multinationals with operations abroad. Only later will Brex pursue wholly foreign clients. Still, he emphasizes discipline: the U.S. remains “the largest market by a country mile,” and maintaining focus there is key to balancing growth ambitions with profitability and investor confidence.
