Gain Control Over AI In Your Business
<p>Today I want to talk about artificial intelligence, not from the standpoint of hype, but from the standpoint of using it in your real business.</p><p>There’s no question AI is powerful. It can summarize documents, draft communications, analyze markets, answer customer questions, and automate tasks that used to consume hours of staff time. But there’s a dangerous mistake I see many businesses making right now. They are trying to use AI to paper over broken processes and disorganized data.</p><p>That is not a technology strategy. That is an accident waiting to happen.</p><p>Mo...
Why Rates Will Fall
<p>If you want to save a ton in taxes, visit The Cost Segregations Guys and learn how cost segregation can improve your tax situation.</p><p>--------------</p><p>On today’s show, we’re talking about weakness in the labor market, and why the headline unemployment rate is telling a much more optimistic story than what many people are feeling on the ground. Moreover, the surge in energy prices is causing some people to sound the inflation alarm bell which has led to a surge in yields on Treasuries. But this is not telling the whole story and fran...

Healthcare Could Drive Your Investment Thesis
<p>On today’s show, we’re talking about a real estate thesis that I believe deserves a lot more attention, and that is investing within a radius of major healthcare institutions.</p><p>When I say healthcare institutions, I’m talking about hospitals, regional medical centers, specialty clinics, research hospitals, cancer treatment centers, rehabilitation campuses, and large outpatient networks. These are not simply buildings where doctors work. They are economic engines. They create employment, they attract patients, they generate supporting businesses, and they create demand for housing.</p><p>Now, as real estate investors, we need to remember a very s...
Not Breaking News - Social Security Is Insolvent
<p>On March 25, 2026, the Senate Budget Committee held a hearing called, “Social Security: A Discussion on the Facts and the Path Forward.”</p><p>According to the testimony presented to the committee, the combined Social Security trust funds are projected to be depleted in 2034, and the retirement fund itself is projected to be depleted in 2033. At that point, absent changes in law, scheduled benefits would face an automatic reduction.</p><p>That's 7 to 8 years away. Everyone in that room understands the math. It's is not a mystery. This is not an ideological debate about whether arithmetic is real. The testimony was...

What Can AI Help You Stop Doing?
<p>On today’s show, we’re talking about the flurry of new capabilities being released in Claude, and more specifically, how these new tools can take real work off your plate as a real estate investor.</p><p>There’s a big difference between a technology that is interesting and a technology that is useful. For a long time, artificial intelligence sat in that interesting category. It could summarize an article, write a paragraph, maybe help brainstorm a marketing idea. But that’s not where the real leverage is. The real leverage comes when the technology stops being a novelty...
The Deflationary Economy
<p>Today we’re talking about the deflationary impact of an oil shock.</p><p>Now that might sound counterintuitive at first. After all, if oil prices spike, and if shortages appear in oil, aluminum, fertilizer, natural gas, and other key industrial inputs, most people’s first instinct is to call that inflationary. And at the consumer level, it certainly feels inflationary. You see it at the pump. You see it in groceries. You see it in utility bills. You see it in transportation and construction costs.</p><p>But that’s only the first-order effect.</p><p>The deeper questi...
