@nikitabier @moseskagan Great book where he was interviewed for about three hours and it’s one of the chapters in the book. I know the guy who wrote it!

@bethanyjbabcock Totally fine, thank you! I have a link to Amazon on that page too, most just feel more comfortable buying there.

@BobKnakal @bethanyjbabcock @moseskagan @matthews @kylematthewsceo @Bethazor1 @antonia_mdprjct @seandsweeney Yessir, thank you Bob! I can’t believe you haven’t gotten yours yet! I just checked tracking and they arrived in NY yesterday, so should be out to you hopefully today or tomorrow!

[Jake James @jakejames]

@bethanyjbabcock @BobKnakal @moseskagan @matthews @kylematthewsceo @Bethazor1 @antonia_mdprjct @seandsweeney Thank you @bethanyjbabcock! I really hope you all like it and that somebody out there finds it useful. It’s the type of book I had hoped was around when I was learning about CRE.

@Recalcitrant_1 @ItsHappeningRN @ATRightMovies Yeah, whenever a question is asked or posted about a movie that lingers with you a few days, that's easily the first movie that comes to mind.

[Jake James @jakejames]

@asheepatthewhee @ATRightMovies Totally!

@ItsHappeningRN @ATRightMovies Yeah, exactly, he was just amazing in this role. I was hesitant to even post that GIF because of how creepy his character was in that movie.

Awesome, thanks! Unfortunately, no lenders in this one. Was something I thought about but decided if I did more, another series would focus on banking and finance where I’d have some lenders. Once everything is set up I’ll shoot you a link with a discount code (will throw in some free ones for ya and the rest at cost).

[Jake James @jakejames]

Got the first test print of the hardcover a couple days ago, and it looks great! Should be available for sale on Amazon and my website and any other bookseller in the next 1-2 weeks!

@dtmorgan18 People are crazy. I see people here in DC just let their dog go right in the middle of the sidewalk. I never let my dog go in inappropriate places, like places I wouldn’t want other people’s dogs to go. She probably got so mad cause she knew she was wrong.

@FracSlap @FitFounder You may need to do a respin after the first run.

Great episode by @patrick_oshag and @FoundersPodcast

[Patrick OShaughnessy @patrick_oshag]

David Senra (@FoundersPodcast) and I have conversations like this one all the time.

Since our first episode, he’s gone from lesser known to among the most beloved teachers in the world (if you like business).

I turn to him all the time to remind myself of essential, persistent truths. He’s not a podcaster, he’s a preacher. This might be our best conversation.
