I think the risk that is front, and center is this new interest rate regime at a much higher level than what we're used to. That is the biggest risk.” - Peter Boockvar  💥 “It’s reading, reading, reading, and more reading and not just about what's going on in the US, but what's going on throughout the world. Because the world is one big cobweb with interrelationships that are where one thing happens on the eastern side of the world immediately affects the western hemisphere side of the world.” - Peter Boockvar  💥 “Not every story has the greatest situation ahead of it. Every business deals with challenges, but if the opportunities outweigh the risks, then and at the right price, it creates an opportunity from an investment standpoint.” - Peter Boockvar  💥 “It all comes down to time horizon because no one has enough information to know when the exact bottom is. But, over time, you can buy things dramatically more down. You should be okay.” - Peter Boockvar  💥 “Humility is important in this business, and you have to understand that you're going to make a mistake every single day. You just have to make less of them relative to the right decisions that you make.” - Peter Boockvar  💥 “If you're going to invest in markets or you're going to invest privately, it's important to be a student of history. It's important to learn about other periods of time, other recessions, other expansions.” - Peter Boockvar     ABOUT PETER  As the Chief Investment Officer of Bleakley Financial Group, an $8 billion wealth management firm, Peter is rich with experience in analyzing market trends and economic indicators.

You want the future to determine the present, not the present to determine the future.” - Dr. Ben Hardy  💥 “When you raise the standard to a new level, that's when it actually stops being a goal and it starts being a standard... I actually prefer standards over routines. I prefer setting a new standard and letting that standard dictate who you are and what you do.” - Dr. Ben Hardy  💥 “If you're not practicing or doing a routine towards something specific, you're actually not getting any better. You're doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result.” - Dr. Ben Hardy  💥 “In order to turn your life, you actually turn your identity, which involves going deep into the 20%, was deep in terms of focus and also deep in terms of recovery and processing and thinking things through. I just went so deep that my vision for my life transformed. My vision for what I could do transformed.” - Dr. Ben Hardy  💥 “If you're not willing to risk what you've got, then you have no chance of truly gaining the freedom. And if you're not willing to continue to transform through that freedom, you're just going to stay where you are, you're just going to be linear.” - Tyler Chesser  💥 “Just get better and better at clarifying what you're looking for and getting the right ‘who’ in place. So, there's no failure. It's just all learning.” - Dr. Ben Hardy  💥 “The true human condition is seeking transformation. So, let's be courageous. Let's continue to ask these type of questions. What do we want instead of what do we need? It opens up so many pathways to possibility.” - Tyler Chesser  💥 “You've got to go deeper in your unique ability to go 10x, you actually have to make it easier, but also it becomes easier and easier because you're letting go of the 80%, which is not only your old habits or your old security, it's your old stories, it's your past, it's your traumas. To go 10x, you’ve got to not only let the future dictate who you are in the present, you've got to continuously transform your past. All of those shackles that are holding you down, which is your 80%.” - Dr. Ben Hardy      About Dr. Benjamin Hardy  Dr. Benjamin Hardy is an organizational psychologist and is the world’s leading expert on the psychology of entrepreneurial leadership and exponential growth.

Despite cyclical headwinds such as rising interest rates and an inflationary economy, the real estate industry is taking a long-term approach to assets and displaying cautious optimism for sustained growth and strong returns. This raises the question – how can real estate investors reposition their businesses and investments to adapt to market changes and take advantage of current trends?   John Chang, head of Marcus & Millichap's Research Services team, joins us from the Best Ever Conference to discuss the current state and future of the commercial real estate industry. John shares his expertise in translating economic data into actionable insights for investors stressing the need to stay focused on long-term strategies and staying on top of the market to make informed decisions.

Why do suburban offices and medical offices make compelling buying opportunities now?

In March 2023, the biggest US bank failure since the 2008 global financial crisis happened as Silicon Valley Bank, a major lender to the tech industry collapsed from a bank run. The panic pushed two more US banks to fall over the edge while in the global banking stage, Credit Suisse, one of the world’s biggest financial institutions, had to be rescued by the Swiss central bank from collapse.

While healthcare professionals top the list of highest-paid occupations in the US with median salaries of $208,000 per year, research shows that physician burnout rate is at an all-time high. Overworked and stretched thin, some doctors end up disengaged from their careers and are looking for alternative ways to earn income so that they can gain back time for themselves and for things that matter most. This is true for many busy, career-oriented individuals across professions who are losing control of their lives and their time and have become enslaved to their jobs and duties.   Dr. Nancy Huynh of Clear Vision Investing joins us today to talk in detail about this predicament that many of her colleagues are facing.

While we set life goals and business objectives to achieve success, it is our behaviors and ultimately the habits that we form that help us to get there. The consistent, repeated behavior that becomes habits are the small, steady steps that will take us to success. Habits shape who we are - our attitudes, actions, decision-making, and other aspects of our lives. So, it is crucial to build good habits if we want to make a positive transformation in our lives.    We are joined in this episode by behavioral science expert Samuel Salzer to help us understand the science of behavior and the power of building positive habits in helping us achieve success in whatever goal we’ve set. Because forming positive habits isn’t always easy, Samuel gives us critical information on the science of building good habits, how they are formed, the strategies we can apply, and how we can set ourselves up for success by starting small. Let’s begin our journey of transformation from “thoughtful to thoughtless” and ultimately, to success!   Key Points from This Episode: Samuel’s backstory and upbringing What’s the catalyst that led to Samuel’s interest in behavioral economics while at the university in Australia? Samuel’s insights on the science behind behaviors and habits. Where should people start if they are looking to make transformations and changes in their lives? Samuel explains the process of building a habit. Proactive and reactive strategies to build the push in beginning a task and becoming productive. Samuel discusses the “thoughtful to thoughtless” journey and how this can be powerfully and effectively utilized. Why it is valuable to take inventory of your current habits if you want to change or build new ones. Cornerstone habits that can give investors one of their highest ROIs. Samuel answers the Rare-Air Questionnaire.   Tweetables:   “Intentions are not the same as actions.” - Samuel Salzer   “Try to make the world better one good habit at a time.” - Samuel Salzer   “The basic formula for behavioral science is the person plus situation equals behavior.” - Samuel Salzer   “Habit is the behavior done automatically.” - Samuel Salzer    “Everyone is different and every situation is different. So you have to approach things from a contextual lens.”  - Samuel Salzer    “The most successful thing to do is to start small, and then build momentum and then build on that momentum.” - Samuel Salzer   “It's a journey from thoughtful to thoughtless.” - Samuel Salzer   “Repetitions form habits if they're done in the same time, same place, same context.” - Samuel Salzer   “We have a lot to change in our lives. We're not going to climb that mountain in one day. And so start small and start simply and allow yourself to build momentum.” - Tyler Chesser   Links Mentioned: Samuel Salzer on LinkedIn Samuel Salzer website Habit Weekly Habit Coach Pro Start at the End: How to Build Products That Create Change by Matt Wallaert Good Habits, Bad Habits by Wendy Wood Mistakes Were Made (But Not by Me) by Elliot Aronson Carol Tavris Dark Matter by Blake Crouch Invest with CF Capital   About Samuel Salzer Samuel Salzer is an experienced applied behavioral scientist and advisor helping value-driven organizations around the world to use behavioral science and behavioral economics to build great digital products and services.

As we age and gain new experiences, our brain changes and it becomes evident that we can’t hold every piece of information and knowledge that we encounter at all times. More often, we only retain information that is immediately useful or relevant to our present needs. But, we also want to remember crucial information that we’ve read today at a time in the future when it is needed, right?   In this episode, CTPO, speaker, author, MIT instructor Mark Herschberg and I discuss this topic in more detail. As an author faced with the challenge of readers’ recall and retention, Mark created an app called Brain Bump designed to help users remember information, data, and materials from books, blogs, podcasts, classes, talks, and other resources whenever they are needed. If you are in the business of investing, or in any business for that matter, you’ll need access to as much information as you can to run your business efficiently and to have meaningful engagement with clients and investors. Listen until the end and you’ll learn invaluable tips to protect yourself and your business from cyberattacks.   Key Points from This Episode: What makes 21st-century learning different? Why did Mark create the Brain Bump app? Why do most people not retain what they read? How does the technique of “spaced repetition” help retain information? The two ways when most people need information. Mark discusses the Brain Bump app and how it helps users access information when they need them. How can we use media channels more efficiently? Where can the Brain Bump app be downloaded? Mark talks about cybersecurity and the persistent threat of cyberattacks. Measures that companies, businesses, and individuals should take to protect against cyberattacks. Safety tips against bank fraud or wire fraud.   Tweetables: “We live in the most abundant time in human history with regard to sharing information, and sharing perspectives and thoughts.”  - Tyler Chesser   “Even when a reader reads a book, a business book, a self-help book, something with advice, say, wow, there's great advice here. And then you forget it two weeks later. You forget 90%-95% of it. That is a problem. And so there's a problem for the author and a problem for the reader.” - Mark Herschberg   “Media is traditionally linear. We listen to this episode, front to back, first to last. We read a book from first to last. We watch a TV show from start to finish. Exceptions are encyclopedias or dictionaries, you generally don't read that first page to last, you jump in, you get what you need, and you leave. More of our media will shift in this direction.” - Mark Herschberg   “By chopping up the content from an episode, from a book and putting it in this nonlinear order, we make it more relevant. It's like a "choose your own adventure" that you grab what is right for you.” - Mark Herschberg   “The teacher is who learns the most.” - Tyler Chesser   “For any company or individual, it's not a matter of “if” but “when” you run into a cybersecurity issue.” - Mark Herschberg “You will be attacked, you will be hacked.
