In this episode, we delve into the concept of being "qualified" in the workplace, examining who gets labeled as such, who doesn't, and the underlying reasons. We explore "competency checking"—the practice of scrutinizing individuals' abilities—and how it disproportionately affects underrepresented groups, often going unnoticed or unchallenged. Our discussion aims to redefine qualifications in a fair, equitable, and actionable manner. Our guest, Shari Dunn , is an accomplished journalist, former attorney, news anchor, CEO, university professor, and sought-after speaker. She has been recognized as Executive of the Year and a Woman of Influence, with her work appearing in Fortune Magazine, The Wall Street Journal, Ad Age, and more. Her new book, Qualified: How Competency Checking and Race Collide at Work , unpacks what it truly means to be deserving and capable—and why systemic barriers, not personal deficits, are often the real problem. Her insights challenge the narratives that hold so many of us back and offer practical solutions for building a more equitable future. Together, we can build workplaces and communities that don’t just reflect the world we live in, but the one we want to create. A world where being qualified is about recognizing the talent and potential that’s been overlooked for far too long. It’s not just about getting a seat at the table—it’s about building an entirely new table, one designed with space for all of us.

Episode 81: Building Your Investor Identity: Finding the Right Strategy for You 32:21

9 weeks yang lalu32:21

32:21

In this week's episode of the "Live Life by Design" podcast, our hosts dive deep into the concept of finding your investment strategy within the real estate investment world. The discussion is framed around the idea that just as one finds their "investor ID," they must identify the market that aligns with their strengths, preferences, and financial goals. The episode touches on the importance of choosing the right strategy—whether it's flipping, holding long-term, or short-term rentals—and how different strategies will influence the criteria for selecting properties. Our hosts share personal stories to emphasize the process of discovery in real estate investment. They also stress the importance of patience and learning from each deal, recognizing that it’s okay not to have everything figured out at the beginning. Success in real estate, they argue, comes from continual learning, adaptation, and sticking to strategies that align with one's investor identity and market preferences. The hosts highlight how important it is to be honest with oneself about what works and doesn't work, as this clarity can significantly impact long-term success. They also emphasize the value of surrounding oneself with knowledgeable mentors and partners to learn and grow. - Links - To learn more about Become An Investor -- > www.BecomeAnInvestor.com To learn more about Foreclosures -- > www.fliphouseslivelife.com/foreclosureebook/ Follow on Social Media -- > @BecomeAnInvestor…

Episode 80: From Eviction Protections to Rent Relief: Understanding New California Rental Laws 36:40

10 weeks yang lalu36:40

36:40

In this week's episode of the "Live Life by Design" podcast our hosts discuss key legislative changes affecting tenants and landlords in California. They review various bills that have been passed in recent years, including those related to eviction protections, tenant rights, and the handling of security deposits. One major discussion point revolves around the "just cause" eviction protection, which requires landlords to provide a valid reason for terminating leases, complicating the eviction process. Our hosts share insights into how this impacts landlords, particularly when dealing with tenants who may damage property or fail to pay rent. Another significant topic covered is the protection against retaliatory evictions, where landlords are prohibited from evicting tenants for exercising their legal rights, such as reporting code violations. Throughout the episode, there is an undercurrent of frustration with the balance of power leaning too heavily in favor of tenants, especially since the COVID-19 pandemic. Our hosts share personal anecdotes and opinions on how these laws can sometimes put landlords in difficult positions, particularly with eviction freezes and rent relief programs. The episode closes with a call for better communication between tenants and landlords and an emphasis on being informed and respectful of the new legal requirements. - Links - To learn more about Become An Investor -- > www.BecomeAnInvestor.com To learn more about Foreclosures -- > www.fliphouseslivelife.com/foreclosureebook/ Follow on Social Media -- > @BecomeAnInvestor…

This week's episode of the "Live Life by Design" podcast explores the opportunities available to real estate investors through government-backed affordable housing programs. Our hosts focus on how banks are increasingly pressured to fund affordable housing projects, which opens doors for investors. They discuss the definition of affordable housing, which should cost no more than 30% of a person’s income, and how investors can capitalize on programs like Section 8, affordable housing tax credits, and guaranteed government payments to secure tenants and minimize vacancies. Throughout the episode, our hosts highlight the importance of having a strong work ethic and long-term commitment when entering the affordable housing market. They frequently return to the idea that success in this space doesn’t come from shortcuts but from diligent planning and execution. Investors are encouraged to explore various housing programs that go beyond Section 8, such as those for seniors, veterans, and people with disabilities, which provide additional incentives and income security. The episode also touches on the role of community banks and credit unions in financing affordable housing projects. These institutions are more likely to work with investors who don’t meet the high-net-worth criteria of larger banks, offering better loan accessibility and interest rates. Our hosts recommend these as viable alternatives for real estate investors seeking financing for affordable housing projects. - Links - To learn more about Become An Investor -- > www.BecomeAnInvestor.com To learn more about Foreclosures -- > www.fliphouseslivelife.com/foreclosureebook/ Follow on Social Media -- > @BecomeAnInvestor…

In this week's episode of the *Live by Design* podcast our hosts discuss the challenges and strategies of homeownership and real estate investing, with a particular focus on refinancing and managing fluctuating interest rates.

The conversation delves into how external factors such as the economy, inflation, employment rates, and geopolitical events can influence interest rates. Our hosts express skepticism about relying on interest rate fluctuations and encourage listeners to focus on financial readiness when buying property, rather than trying to time the market. They also reflect on the 2008 financial crisis, warning against over-leveraging and betting on market trends, which led many to lose everything during that period. Since we are based in California, our hosts discuss the growing challenges of homeownership, particularly in high-cost areas like California, where insurance costs, fire risks, and rising interest rates are making it increasingly difficult for average working people to sustain their homes. - Links - To learn more about Become An Investor -- > www.BecomeAnInvestor.com To learn more about Foreclosures -- > www.fliphouseslivelife.com/foreclosureebook/ Follow on Social Media -- > @BecomeAnInvestor…

Continuing an episode ritual, our hosts open with a quote by Maya Angelou, emphasizing the ripple effect of a woman standing up for herself, not only for her own sake but for the benefit of all women. A major discussion point in the episode is the balancing act many women face between personal responsibilities and professional aspirations. Our hosts speak candidly about the societal pressures on women to prioritize family over career, which often leads to feelings of guilt, frustration, and self-doubt. Often times men are given more leeway to focus on their careers, women are expected to manage both family and work seamlessly. Despite this, our female hosts emphasize the importance of pushing past these obstacles. The episode delves deeply into how women can balance business and family, with a focus on time management and consistency. Our hosts share their personal strategies for maintaining a routine, setting daily priorities, and making time for both family and professional commitments.
