HAPPY THURSDAY!

I am preparing to launch a podcast, to be named "MIC Drops" (unless I decide to go all urban, and do "MIC Dropz" - or "MIC DropZ").

"MIC" stands for the three formats that it will employ - monologues, interviews, and conversations.

Monologues, obviously, will consist of just me speaking on a given topic.

In interviews, I will go back and forth with a single guest.

For conversations, I will have two or more guests engaging not just with me, but with each other.

One reason that I'm doing this is because I know a bunch of people that deserve to be known by a bunch of people - seriously cool and fascinating people, whom I look forward to bringing forward.

Another reason is because I want to make the world better. We will touch on a range of topics, but the purpose will always be to provide information and insight that help you to live more fully in an improving world.

I have not set a hard date for the launch - I want to have a least a dozen episodes ready to go before launching. If you'd like occasional updates on how it's going, or to learn in advance which people and topics will be featured in upcoming episodes, either DM me your email or drop it below.

Meanwhile, I solicit your prayers and positive vibrations.

THANKS!!

I am absolutely committed to creating value for my neighbors in , and to helping them prosper. If you are in , and you are not prospering five years from now, it will be because you didn't pay attention to what I shared with you on my own journey to .

That is not a boast about myself. It IS a boast about the value of the information that I am sharing RIGHT NOW, along the way. Like this, the latest video on Homewood Nation's YouTube channel.

Pay attention. Get rich. There's enough to go around, and won't mind.

Over the course of this year, I have been involved in a pair of mentorships that have changed, and are changing, my life.

I spent a total of $6500 for them, and consider it the best money I have ever spent.

The first mentorship, created by Dan Hughes, known on FB as Radikal Hughes , covers a range of topics around business development, YouTube content creation, and developing personal and business credit.

The second focuses exclusively on real estate investment, is run by Joe Reiter, a 30+year investor, who wants to build a group of people with whom he can work in the future.

They are both in a YouTube Live RIGHT NOW, in which they are doing two things:

1 - providing real estate investment training that, in and of itself, could help you build wealth, and
2 - offering a combined membership in both programs - buy Joe's program and get Dan's for free.

People who sign up will gain enrollment in a 21-day intensive in Joe will pour real estate knowledge into them like crazy. I say this as someone who has been under his teaching for months.

Today, Joe will focus on real estate syndication. I almost didn't tell you about this, bc I am going to do a syndicate myself. But you know what? There's enough to go around.

All of this is to say, if you want to end 2024 with a 6-figure income and a 7-figure real estate portfolio, jump into this YouTube Live RIGHT NOW:

I am in court.

More specifically, I am in Courtroom 5 of Allegheny County civil court, for a hearing regarding Rising Tide Paetners' request for conservatorship of a batch of real estate owned by a California-based LLC called RFS Investment.

The biggest chunk of RFS property is the group of rowhouses known as "Sterrett-Collier". The decades-long deterioration of that property led to Homewood being declared, at one point, "the most dangerous neighborhood in America."

Which in turn led to a 2-part appearance on Rachel Maddow's show.

Take a look. I will let you know how the hearing goes.

UPDATE, 11:00 AM - an hour after the scheduled start, we're still waiting. For what? For negotiations happening in the hall. RFS is trying to prevent the appointment. Y'all won't believe this...RFS LISTED STERRETT-COLLIER FOR SALE THIS MORNING.

The odds of them finding a buyer who is willing and able to invest, immediately, the millions needed to save Sterrett-Collier, and gain community support for their plan to do so? Slim to none.
