::Alese: Thank you. I love that introduction. Step boldly into your. It sounds like Star Trek.
6
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Yeah.
7
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: I don't know about you, but I love this level of my life. It's like I feel like I was.
8
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: I've gone through everything I've gone through in my life, all the trauma and all the drama. And just to get to this point because I feel like I've arrived.
9
::Alese: Excellent. Yes, I think that's true. I know it's true for me.
10
::Alese: I briefly post divorce, spent some time in therapy thinking about how did I fuck this up? And then I realized that all those things that had gone wrong in my life in the decades past had led me to where I am today. And I'm really pleased with that.
11
::Alese: I mean, we're not hanging out in the Bahamas on a beach, but, short of that, I'm real pleased with that.
12
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: I hate that to me. Hanging out on the Bahamas on the beach is kind of overrated for.
13
::Alese: One thing.
14
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: I'm really not a big fan of bathing suits these days.
15
::Alese: Gotcha. Well, as you can see, my face is all red today, because I spent the last hour sitting in a rocking chair in front of a water fountain, enjoying the Arkansas heat and that lovely water music, and but the sunshine, kinda you know, turns my skin a lovely red.
16
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Yeah, I did hear. And I'm going to share this with you first.st Heard here. If you put more copper in your diet
17
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: like a minor amount more copper it's supposed to help with sunburning.
18
::Alese: Really.
19
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: My husband is like pasty white pastey white, and he does not tan, and just like the a little bit of increase in copper, could
20
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: could make a difference.
21
::Alese: And.
22
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: I don't know. Let me know how it works for you. If you decide to implement this tick.
23
::Alese: Yeah.
24
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Please do not misconstrue this as medical advice. Anybody. Okay.
25
::Alese: No medical investing or legal advice. On this Podcast.
26
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Exactly exactly, though we may talk about investing opportunities.
27
::Alese: You might.
28
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: So
29
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: let me ask you the big question. I'm asking everybody this this season. What's the most significant thing in your opinion, as individuals we can do to make an impact on how the world is going.
30
::Alese: I don't I could oversimplify and say, Be kind but I I think
31
::Alese: for me the biggest thing you can do is be engaged and build community.
32
::Alese: I talk about that all the time. It's become a repeating theme for me. I I know so many people my age, and I'm very proudly 71
33
::Alese: have retired, taken to the rocking chairs, have no mission in life. Don't get out and have any fun.
34
::Alese: and that's not how we change the world.
35
::Alese: That's not how we change the ageist perspective that older people can't do anything.
36
::Alese: I mean not to brag. But since I turned 60 I wrote a book I started. Let's see, since I was 60 I've started 3 companies
37
::Alese: and I'm having the best time of my life.
38
::Alese: so I I don't understand. Like I go out to friends with my. I go out to Happy Hour with my friends just like we were in our twenties. We still have a lot to talk about. So I
39
::Alese: that's that's my advice. Have a mission.
40
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Yeah, get up and do stuff.
41
::Alese: New stuff. Yes.
42
::Alese: so you were kind enough to introduce Fabul 70. So as I was approaching my 70th birthday, I had read this article in Wall Street Journal
43
::Alese: by this lovely gentleman who was just turning 60, and he said.
44
::Alese: I realized one afternoon that my friends thought I was boring because I never had any new stories to tell. So
45
::Alese: he set out to fix that, and his mission was to do 60 new things that year, and
46
::Alese: he wanted to, you know, have new stories to talk about when he got together with his buds. And I thought,
47
::Alese: this I can do
48
::Alese: so on my 70th birthday I opened a blog I committed in public to my friends in the whole damn world to do 70 new things. That year before I turned 71
49
::Alese: and some weeks it got a little challenging. I mean, they're only 52 weeks in a year, so you gotta, you know, double up
50
::Alese: up a little bit.
51
::Alese: Yeah, so I I had some new stories to tell. It was fun. But
52
::Alese: yeah, just get out and do something new.
53
::Alese: Don't be bullshit.
54
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Things that I, you know, think back when you were a kid, the fun things that you did
55
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: when you were a kid, and go go, find a way to do it as an adult it'll be even more fun.
56
::Alese: Was the most fun thing you did as a kid.
57
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: We used to have a rock wars.
58
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: We had trash can lids, and back in the day, you know. Trash can lids were made out of metal.
59
::Alese: Yeah.
60
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: So fun we'd we'd use them as shields.
61
::Alese: Ha! That's fun!
62
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: It was fun.
63
::Alese: Yeah.
64
::Alese: we used to play football in the streets in my neighborhood, and so I went to my very 1st junior high school dance with giant bandages on both knees.
65
::Alese: It was majorly uncool, but you know we had fun.
66
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: It was so fun I used to get told I would ruin my femininity.
67
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Never mind, people used to think I was a boy until I was about 14,
68
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: had really short hair, and I looked like a little boy.
69
::Alese: I mean, I my body wasn't shaped like a little boy.
70
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Mine was the extra parts early, but I was always such a tomboy.
71
::Alese: And my mother always kept my hair short because she didn't want to mess with it being long. Yeah, I was really thankful when I finally got to the age where I can make my own hair choices and let it grow out.
72
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Yeah, that that was my problem is that my mom was.
73
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: you know, women that were raised in the forties and fifties. And I'm like they couldn't be bothered with hair. I don't. I don't know what their mothers did to them, or traumatized them with it. It's just like.
74
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Hello! I I want some hair on my head.
75
::Alese: Clearly dramatized. I tell you the other thing that I really really enjoy doing still, at this age is slides and swing sets.
76
::Alese: I don't know why everybody thinks those are for kids.
77
::Alese: cause I think that is the best way to spend a Sunday afternoon.
78
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: I spend my Thursdays that way. I take my grandsons to the Park, and there's a in this in the summer. There's a they call it a splash pad, but there's like water things you can run through and get cool. And there's 2 playgrounds on this park and a skate park that was actually put up by my daughter-in-law's parents. Their son.
79
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: one of their sons, died when my daughter-in-law was young, and they they built a skate park for the community out of the proceeds that came from his passing. I think even Tony Hawk came to our town in Preston to open it up. But.
80
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: this was maybe 25 years ago, I mean, it's been a minute, but it's so cool to me to see my grandson, who's
81
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: uncle, was responsible for this park, being here to be able to ride a scooter around on it, and he's only 4, but he's like
82
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: he gets in there with the big kids and messes it up, mix it up, mix it up, mixes it up.
83
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: So I agree with you. Parks are like the best place.
84
::Alese: Yes, ma'am, love having that. The wind flow through my hair act like a little kid.
85
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Yeah.
86
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Yeah. And the kids like to be played with, you know they love it. If you'll just come and help them and engage with them, instead of just like sitting there looking at them.
87
::Alese: Yeah.
88
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Don't!
89
::Alese: My grandson thinks it's a hoot that I'll get out and play.
90
::Alese: Yeah.
91
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Yeah, yeah.
92
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: So what other fun things have you done?
93
::Alese: Fun things. I went indoor skydiving last year. That was fun.
94
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: With the the kind, with the wind that blows up.
95
::Alese: Yeah.
96
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Oh, yeah, what's that?
97
::Alese: I don't know what I expected, but they got. They have this giant ass jet engine that's blowing straight up and kind of lean in this door and let go with your arms out. And that was that was a hoot.
98
::Alese: Wow! But it's real important to how you hold your head when you do that, because if you don't get it just right, you can't breathe.
99
::Alese: Oof yeah.
100
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: How do they? How do they stop you like? Are you on a leash?
101
::Alese: No, but the the tunnel itself is not
102
::Alese: so wide that they can't just reach in and grab. Yeah.
103
::Alese: And in my case, because I was a total rookie. They sent some really experienced guy in with me, and he held on to me till I got my shit together, basically. And then.
104
::Alese: But that was fun.
105
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Sounds really fun. So there's so many cool things you can do out there. It's like.
106
::Alese: Full of cool things you can do if you just kind of like, open your eyes and look for them.
107
::Alese: That was the biggest change that that year made for me was actually being aware of the possibilities
108
::Alese: like before that I was real bad to go. Oh, I'll do that next year when I'm not so busy, or that costs too much money, or it would take 5 h to drive there, you know some, some excuse.
109
::Alese: Why, I wasn't going to do whatever. And then, when I made this commitment, and it became a real focus to find something new to do, and my life has not been boring up to this point. So, finding things I had not honestly already done was
110
::Alese: it took some doing
111
::Alese: but it just made me more open. And now I don't count the time it takes to get there, or you know, within reason, the dollars that it takes to do whatever it is. I mean, I some things I would like to do like on the weekly but I don't. I I mean like flying lessons. That was a lot of fun.
112
::Alese: or I really enjoy doing hyperbaric sessions. But those are kind of extensive here in Arkansas. So I'm not going to do them every week, but I mean, you know, just doing it once is not a not a thing.
113
::Alese: And then you've got that story detail.
114
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Yeah. Then it becomes like, I'm not spoiling myself. I deserve this.
115
::Alese: You do absolutely you do, and it's good, for your brain keeps you from being stagnant.
116
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: You were talking about your friends, too, doing stuff in community and and helping your friends
117
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: see, possibilities is gotta be gold.
118
::Alese: Oh, there is so much scientific proof that people with a good friend base will live 50% longer
119
::Alese: than people who don't.
120
::Alese: And so I am greatly appreciative to every last one of my friends who humors me on this adventure and keeps it interesting.
121
::Alese: But we gift each other a longer life than we would have if we didn't have each other.
122
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: I have personal experience with that. My dad is 89 this year, and he has a girlfriend that lives across the street. Joy and they he! He cooks for every day.
123
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: and they do stuff. She's much younger than him. I think she's like 79.
124
::Alese: I love it.
125
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: But I they just they're always do. They live in this gated community. And there's like, always stuff to do that. Go
126
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: work out. My dad was. He's a sculptor and a woodworker, and he's done a lot of different projects, and he draws. And and so he's got that community of people that he still interacts with, and he's probably one of the older men there.
127
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: but he's always had like tons of friends. They just go to his house to visit, and somebody's always dropping by to say Hello, and and he's going out for walks, and
128
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: he still drives and has all those marbles. It's really.
129
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: it's it's amazing. But I think it is because he's got these connections with other human beings and obligations. They have the Singles Club that they go to, and he's in charge of telling jokes. So he's always got to be looking for jokes to tell at the Singles Club, and it's just like
130
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: the community is really important in
131
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: getting up and having something that you do every single day.
132
::Alese: Yes. Ma'am.
133
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: To look forward to.
134
::Alese: Our.
135
::Alese: you know. I don't know if your mama did, but my mama always used that argument about you. Turn into the 5 people you spend most time with as an excuse to keep me from hanging out with the kids smoked when I was in high school.
136
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: How'd that work out for you? I know how it works for me.
137
::Alese: That's fine. Thank you.
138
::Alese: I learned to smoke, anyway.
139
::Alese: Yeah, I tried because I wanted to be cool, you know, but I could never. It's like I. My cough reflex is too strong, so never, never acquired that skill.
140
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: I got pregnant, and I had to quit every time I was around anybody that was smoking.
141
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Oh, well,
142
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: What was the the times we lived in.
143
::Alese: It's so different.
144
::Alese: And so I think about my grandson, who has never had an unsupervised moment in his life.
145
::Alese: I mean.
146
::Alese: he can go hide in his own bedroom, and nobody's looking at him. But you know what I mean.
147
::Alese: and when I was the same age my parents would shoot me out the front door on Saturday morning and go be back in time for dinner, but otherwise don't. Don't come in this house.
148
::Alese: and so I could water. There was the hose in the backyard, you know, but otherwise don't. - do not show back. My parents had no idea where I was.
149
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Yeah.
150
::Alese: Neighborhood on my bicycle, and.
151
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: You and everybody else.
152
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: I had a train pass. We lived in Japan, and we lived on a naval base Atsugi Naval Base. I used to go to Tokyo.
153
::Alese: Hello!
154
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: On those days when my parents would shoo me out of the house.
155
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: It's like an hour and a half away.
156
::Alese: Oh, my!
157
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: And it was like, and they had no idea where I was. I mean, I was like
158
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: gone gone, and they no clue. I was like 1213, 14.
159
::Alese: Awesome.
160
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: And that there's so much freedom.
161
::Alese: Yeah, I worked in New York City for a while, and
162
::Alese: I would walk from the hotel where my client had me staying to the bank where I worked every morning right past the Jacqueline Kennedy School of Arts.
163
::Alese: and there would be these tiny human beings
164
::Alese: trotting themselves up out of the subway into school, their little backpacks on.
165
::Alese: And they were 6, 7, Ish and I.
166
::Alese: I don't know if I could wrap my brain around
167
::Alese: putting a tiny human like that on the subway.
168
::Alese: And they do that.
169
::Alese: It's like, here's Subway Pass.
170
::Alese: Don't be like school.
171
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: That's I went to an international school in Yokohama, and that's how I had the pass.
172
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: We've done a lot
173
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: allowed me to go pretty much anywhere I wanted to go. And so they they did that with lots of little kids.
174
::Alese: In Japan. It's just like that's how you get around. You just get on the train and you.
175
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Go wherever you're going.
176
::Alese: Yeah, they don't. Day and age, though it's like we.
177
::Alese: we know where our kids are. 24, 7. And they have a cell phone on them with a tracker. And
178
::Alese: it's a different kind of life.
179
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: It's kind of a sad in a lot of ways. You know, that the kids can't just go out. I I had 2 batches of kids I have. So I have kids in their forties. And I have kids in their twenties and the kids in their forties. They did grow up with the, you know, go outside and play. I do not sit here. And and I've never been really big on television because
180
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: I didn't have TV when I was growing up. So we didn't really have like.
181
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: you weren't going to sit around and watch television that just wasn't going to happen. And so they always went out and explored, and and as far as boys go, I have 5 children. 3 of them are male. You don't want to know what they're doing all the time.
182
::Alese: No, you don't like.
183
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Just don't bring the police home with you. I that was my hard, fast rule, and you know a couple of them.
184
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: They did it, anyway.
185
::Alese: Yeah.
186
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Down, number one.
187
::Alese: Don't bring the police home and don't get anyone pregnant. Otherwise.
188
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Yes, yes.
189
::Alese: Otherwise we're good.
190
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: I don't really care what you're doing, just, you know, don't do yourself or anybody else.
191
::Alese: Yeah, I got all of my daughter's a grill about something. I don't even remember what it was when she was a freshman in college, and she's she's kind of feisty for some reason. I don't know if she got that.
192
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Oh, really.
193
::Alese: And she got right in my face, and she said, I'm not pregnant, and I don't do drugs and anything beyond that. You can just get over all right. We're done.
194
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: True story, true story.
195
::Alese: She's gonna watch this and have kittens.
196
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Well, you know, I think we learn a lot from our kids.
197
::Alese: We do.
198
::Alese: It's funny how that works.
199
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Especially if you could just get out of the way of of thinking that you know it all. I mean, I had that problem for a long time. But when I when I just decided that
200
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: you know I have some hard, fast rules, but beyond that you're here to have an experience, too. Let's see what you got.
201
::Alese: Bring it.
202
::Alese: Yeah, I've had to. I've had to adopt that philosophy, watching my daughter become a parent
203
::Alese: because her parenting style is dramatically different from my own. And so it's been entertaining
204
::Alese: to just sit back and not provide advice, not tell them how to do things, let them find their own journey.
205
::Alese: Because it is, after all, their job and their journey.
206
::Alese: So.
207
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Yeah. And as a Nana, it's really kind of fun to be able to just like
208
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: you can spoil them because.
209
::Alese: Yes.
210
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: I don't care what we do. Yeah, we can have ice cream before we have dinner.
211
::Alese: Of course we can.
212
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Again. No rules here. It's Manna's apple.
213
::Alese: That's right.
214
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: There's 1.
215
::Alese: Rules at Nana's house are that we don't watch horror movies.
216
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Yeah, I know. I don't like those either.
217
::Alese: You're gonna find some other grandparent to do that mess with. So.
218
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Yeah.
219
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Yeah. Highlight.
220
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Yeah. I have one grandson that calls my husband Grandma, because me Nana, but he calls him Grandpa or Grandma.
221
::Alese: Oh, that's funny! So.
222
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Most hilarious thing he's he started out. I think
223
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: he was just confused about who he was, because, you know, people would say grandma. And then Nana, and then
224
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: he just got it all confused in his head. But now he knows that it's funny.
225
::Alese: Back.
226
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Anyway.
227
::Alese: I love it.
228
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Kids are often a lot smarter than we give them credit for.
229
::Alese: They are
230
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: So tell me about the investing thing that you're doing with the storage units. Yeah, right?
231
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: That it was like, I know somebody's doing this.
232
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: I totally want to talk to her about it.
233
::Alese: Storage trader is all about basically democratizing the ability to invest in self-storage facilities.
234
::Alese: I opened that with a friend of mine who's a finance, Guru? 3 years ago
235
::Alese: I had owned storage facilities personally for quite a while, and they were my favorite investment asset class.
236
::Alese: and every time I went to a social event people would corner me about, how can I invest in storage facilities? And I go well, feel like I didn't go buy one, and they go. Oh, no, I don't want to. That's that's like too much trouble. I don't want to own and manage the whole thing. I just want to invest in them.
237
::Alese: And
238
::Alese: that's kind of hard to do. You've got to know somebody who's in that space and make sure they think of you when they're putting a deal together.
239
::Alese: And what are the odds of that happening?
240
::Alese: It takes a lot of work. And now, on the flip side of that, people who are putting those deals together.
241
::Alese: It's a lot of work for them to go find people who want to make investments and are willing to write a check.
242
::Alese: you know. 1050, however, many 1,000 is appropriate for for that project.
243
::Alese: so we thought we could build an online platform that would kind of match. Make those 2 segments of the population and make it easy for everybody. So that's what we did. People
244
::Alese: come post their listings on storage trader, and if you want to invest in that asset class, you can just try it out there and take a look at what we've got online and indicate that you're interested, and you get to talk straight to the person who's putting the deal together. It's pretty easy and seamless.
245
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: That is, sounds really cool. I I don't know how my son does it, but I know he has a. They have this investment group. It's just him and his buddies, and they they each pull in like 10 or $20,000.
246
::Alese: Yeah.
247
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: When when they decide that they're gonna go into one of these investments and then
248
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: I think they own a couple of these storage units or portion of a couple of these storage units, and they hold on to them for a few years, and then they they turn around and sell them to somebody else, and take their profit and go do it again.
249
::Alese: Yes, kind of like it's done. Yes, ma'am.
250
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Yeah, so.
251
::Alese: Want to do a deal, and they don't quite have enough equity. Capital! Send them our way. We'll be happy to help them out.
252
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: I will send them your way. I'll let them know that your website does exist, and that, you know there's
253
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: there's opportunities there I don't like, I said. I don't know who they're using to find these deals. I was a little fuzzy on it. It was just like.
254
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: how often do you run across somebody that actually knows what you're talking about
255
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: when you talk about like do using storage units as an investment vehicle, or they're like.
256
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: And when I saw that on your your website, or wherever it was that we came across each other, was like.
257
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Oh, I've gotta talk to her about this.
258
::Alese: Absolutely. Yeah.
259
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: So so it's you you do profit taking when you sell, but.
260
::Alese: Thank you.
261
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: You can. It does when they set the deals up. Do they normally have, like parameters, for how long the deal is gonna be held for, or is. It's like there's some standard.
262
::Alese: There. Well, it's not necessarily standard. It's whatever makes sense for the deal. And we've seen everything come through from like a 2 year hold period to a 10 year. Hold period.
263
::Alese: It's hard to get investors to sign up for a 10 year. Hold period, but it's doable
264
::Alese: sometimes. That's for you know, if you're willing to let your money sit that long, you can make some good
265
::Alese: returns on it.
266
::Alese: It just. It varies.
267
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: So is it the way that the
268
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: the deal is structured. That determines how it goes so in my mind, the way it works is, you put this capital together, and you're you're actually providing the loan for
269
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: the financing of the storage unit as the investor. And then somebody actually owns the storage unit and manages it and collects the payments because it's an income producing asset and pays everybody off. But the people that are the investors just get paid by the terms of the loan, which is the the deal that was put together to fund it. Is that how it works, or is it? Does it.
270
::Alese: Kind of sort of
271
::Alese: most people will do a blended capital stack, and that's a finance. Geek word for how you blend the different kinds of money that you've got in your deal
272
::Alese: like you might have money that comes out of your own pocket.
273
::Alese: You've got money that you borrow from the bank, and you've got money that you take from private investors.
274
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Right.
275
::Alese: In equity in return for that.
276
::Alese: and how you pay for that, for those funds varies.
277
::Alese: But, generally speaking, it's not always true, but just.
278
::Alese: Full of them for the equity investors. They will get some agreed upon portion of the
279
::Alese: profits every year, and that might be paid out quarterly might be paid out annually.
280
::Alese: So you get a revenue stream all along the hold period.
281
::Alese: and then, when the asset is sold, they then get their equity percentage of the sales price.
282
::Alese: So that's when you get the big check is
283
::Alese: and get your original investment capital back.
284
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: So you actually you, you buy, you buy into it with the
285
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: the invest you buy into it, knowing that you're going to hold it for however long, until it will get sold. I mean being sold is.
286
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: and it could theoretically just be sold to whoever is owning or running and managing it, and the the main
287
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: person that.
288
::Alese: Yeah, they might recapitalize it in some fashion and buy you out. They might, you know, redo the bank loan, they might, you know, put more of their own money in lots of different ways to do that. But yes, it's
289
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Interesting.
290
::Alese: You need to read the deal docs up front and make sure that it specifies how the
291
::Alese: how that happens, like how the sales price is determined
292
::Alese: so that you you know what happens if the if the deal sponsor decides to just recapitalize and keep it, or if they actually sell it. How does
293
::Alese: you know what's an acceptable sales price for them to agree to?
294
::Alese: So always.
295
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Yeah, cause you could lose a lot of money if.
296
::Alese: You could is if I mean.
297
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: The market just like totally tanked on it.
298
::Alese: Risk in every asset, class and self storage, as recession, resistant as it is, is not without risk.
299
::Alese: I mean, if that.
300
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Even putting your money under the mattress is risky.
301
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Somebody can come and steal it.
302
::Alese: Very cool.
303
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Higher. So it's life is not without risk.
304
::Alese: Life is not without risk.
305
::Alese: and you know I I tend to advocate for people having a balance of different assets in their investment portfolio.
306
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Yep.
307
::Alese: And, generally speaking, you've got something really high risk, like Angel investing or the stock market. And then you've got a portion of these funds, and something that's really recession proof like self storage.
308
::Alese: to balance all those other high risk things out.
309
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Yeah, yeah. I totally hear you on that. I do a an AI arbitrage bot.
310
::Alese: Do you.
311
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Yeah, it. It's kind of crazy. It's like, literally, you push a button and direct the bot to go make trades. It has a crazy return on investment.
312
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: And there are people that are run around, and they're sure it's a scam. It's not. I mean, the company is actually making money, but it's just it's so new and so in it, because it has crypto in the name. It's.
313
::Alese: Like.
314
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: People come out of the woodwork. They're sure you're gonna scam them. It's like, it's just how it works. And you know, invest responsibly. We're not buying a lottery ticket here, and I'm not selling you anything. I'm showing you a tool
315
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: gives it.
316
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Did you build it?
317
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: I'm sorry.
318
::Alese: Did you build it?
319
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: No, it's a company in Singapore.
320
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: And it's a startup. They've been around for 6 years, but it's only been within the last year or so that they've opened it up to retail.
321
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: And it's and they're still developing it. And they've because it's in the cryptosphere. It's it's all run on stable coins like Usdt or Usdc, and they. They're the bot does the arbitrage. They pay 1.3% compounded daily.
322
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Mean? That's kind of like that that alone. Triggers people.
323
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Yeah, but it. It's it's done
324
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: kind of automatically. The company actually makes money when you push that trade button because it directs the bot to go out and find a trade that will return 1.3% plus 20% of the 1.3% to cover the affiliate commissions. And the 2% that the company gets, and then they also get money. When you withdraw it, they get money from the exchanges that they're doing
325
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: the the arbitrage on, and
326
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: I get money one more way. I can't remember how that is, but there's 4 ways that they make money so they're not a Ponzi scheme. They don't.
327
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Could they run away with your money? Yes, they could. I mean
328
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: the bank can run away with your money. I'm sorry to break the news to you, but.
329
::Alese: So after the podcast, you're gonna email, me there.
330
::Alese: I'll give you the information. Yeah.
331
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: And for listeners that are interested in investigating it, I actually do a call on Wednesdays. It's a Q&A, and just like
332
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: email me at support@heartlifecoach.com, and I'll
333
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: send you the the link to to do that for my listeners. But
334
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: you personally, Elise, I will send you the information.
335
::Alese: You're awesome.
336
::Alese: My Wednesdays tend to be pretty booked up.
337
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: I record them now so that people can go back and re-listen to them. I try to give information about what's happening with the company, because it's it's it's adapting so quickly right now, and things are changing so fast with it that you almost have to like
338
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: find out every day what's what's new and and then I also answer questions for new people that wanna learn more about it. And they're like totally new to the crypto world, or arbitrage, or trading, or investing at at all.
339
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: that it has a really low entry point. So there's sometimes people that get involved in it
340
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: because it's like $250.
341
::Alese: Are you serious?
342
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Yeah, I am serious. But you you can only imagine people that only have to put in $250. They're taking their money, and it's just like
343
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: in their mind it's just barely above like buying a lottery ticket, and they and expecting to win.
344
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: And they don't read the terms and conditions, and they screw stuff up, and then they get all mad. And
345
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: so there's all of these trustpilot reviews that are like.
346
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: oh, they stole my money. It's like well, you know.
347
::Alese: I mean it.
348
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Violated their terms and conditions. Sweetheart, it's
349
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: they told you they were. Gonna do this. If you did that.
350
::Alese: Hmm.
351
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: I'm sorry.
352
::Alese: Yeah.
353
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: But again it it is a startup, and you can lose all your money. So.
354
::Alese: Yeah, I do love startups. I I have a huge thing for investing in startups. I think that's where you can
355
::Alese: make some real money.
356
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Idea.
357
::Alese: And you. It's it's gambling in some respects. If you don't do your due diligence.
358
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Yeah.
359
::Alese: But you know, with good due diligence and investing in a good startup team.
360
::Alese: I think you can. Really, you can make some wealth that way.
361
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Google Apple Facebook. This is like
362
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Amazon. I just like all. All of these were startups at 1 point.
363
::Alese: They were all startups at 1 point, and everybody thought they were crazy until they weren't.
364
::Alese: so I would be in my bonnet about investing in women-led startups
365
::Alese: because they tend to get less than 2% of all of the venture capital investment every year. And yet there's so many statistics to prove that women-led startups are managed more responsibly
366
::Alese: over time and we'll they're less likely to lose money.
367
::Alese: So
368
::Alese: you know, I believe in putting my capital where my mouth is, and that's kind of important to me.
369
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: I I
370
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: agree with you. It's women supporting each other is is really important. And I've I've come across so many of us women that are leveling up in our game of life these days.
371
::Alese: I'm more powerful than we realize.
372
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Oh, yeah.
373
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: and we're waking up and realizing that, you know, we don't have to put up with this crap and.
374
::Alese: No, we don't.
375
::Alese: We're not required. We can, in fact, feed ourselves and make our own investment decisions. So there.
376
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Yeah, yeah, and we should be.
377
::Alese: Yes.
378
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: You know. Gone are the days when you didn't know what your husband was doing with the with the money. It was just his money, in fact.
379
::Alese: Yeah.
380
::Alese: So I found the most intriguing piece of paper. The other day I was cleaning out my closet and found this book that had my
381
::Alese: grandmother's paperwork, and I don't know how, after all these many moves, I still have any of it. But regardless. One thing I found was a love letter from one of her husbands, and it was a little racy for that day and age. So that was a lot of fun. But I kept digging, and I found a mortgage where she had bought a house
382
::Alese: with no cosigner.
383
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Wow!
384
::Alese: $40,000 in 1940.
385
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: I have goosebumps that was almost unheard of.
386
::Alese: Yes, I want to know the story behind that document. That's that just blows me away.
387
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: And at this point in 2025,
388
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: just to be able to to have this conversation. Most women, younger women, don't realize that
389
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: in the forties. Women could not get mortgages.
390
::Alese: Couldn't get a credit card. You couldn't buy car, you couldn't.
391
::Alese: You couldn't get any kind of loan. And yet my grandmother had a mortgage on her home.
392
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Interesting.
393
::Alese: Yeah.
394
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Stick.
395
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: I would love to know the story to that, too.
396
::Alese: I have so many questions, and no idea where to go, find answers.
397
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: But she was an interesting woman.
398
::Alese: My grandmother. Oh.
399
::Alese: we! We have stories for hours about Dorothy Church. She was amazing. She was a single mom in a day and age when that simply was not done.
400
::Alese: And it's like my grandfather hit her one too many times, and she said, I'm out of here. We're
401
::Alese: not. We're not doing that, and she went and got a job at the local electric company and ran their office for pretty much the rest of her life in this little tiny town, and she was interesting.
402
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Good for her.
403
::Alese: Yeah.
404
::Alese: She gave me my passion for coconut cake, because she made the best one in the world.
405
::Alese: and she always told me that I had to get my own education so that I could marry for love and not be dependent on someone else.
406
::Alese: I don't know that I followed that real well, but nonetheless it was really good advice that I remember to this day. She was. She was a smart woman.
407
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Used to be that women went to college to find a husband.
408
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Of
409
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: some caliber where? And that's why girls used to be encouraged to go to college. Now, when you go to college, it's mostly women.
410
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: It's predominantly women in schools, and they're not really educated. All that. Well, in my opinion, they're
411
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: propagandized, but they're not really given
412
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: information on how to learn. And I think
413
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: that learning journey is what we're all here for, and
414
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: you can't be taught that it's something you have to experience. And that's the education that I think
415
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: perhaps your grandmother was talking about. But I think it's the most important education you can get.
416
::Alese: Yeah, to learn how to learn
417
::Alese: as something I don't see in the educational system today. I don't see it in people who show up wanting jobs. They don't know how to learn a new skill.
418
::Alese: and.
419
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: And they're not given the parameters to be able to
420
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: to to look at something, as everybody knows, different things. But if you, if you show up and you're doing a job.
421
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: it's important that you learn how to do the job the way they want you to do it. But it's also really in the employer's best interest to look at the employees and say, Do you know a way to do this? Better, faster, more efficiently
422
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: safer.
423
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: because you're doing the job. And sometimes you may be surprised at what you learn from the people actually doing the job.
424
::Alese: If you ask him.
425
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: If you ask them.
426
::Alese: Often employers don't.
427
::Alese: And they're missing a powerful resource.
428
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Yep.
429
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Yeah.
430
::Alese: So I think you are talking all around. What is going to be the biggest challenge as AI becomes a predominant aspect of every company
431
::Alese: in the world.
432
::Alese: Like, if it doesn't matter what you personally know anymore.
433
::Alese: What I think matters is your ability to ask good questions and to question what you get back from the AI,
434
::Alese: and to continue to ask questions, good ones and drill down.
435
::Alese: And I think that's something we're not taught in schools how to ask good questions.
436
::Alese: So I see that being a problem.
437
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: And not only asking good questions, but looking at the answers and asking yourself, Does this make rational sense right?
438
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Is he?
439
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Is? Is this likely to be true? Because just because something tells you something.
440
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: AI, the government, whatever you read anywhere, it's just because it's been put out there doesn't make it
441
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: a fact, and there's a difference between truth and facts. Facts are repeatable, observable, attestable.
442
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: And you always get the same answer.
443
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Yes, whereas a truth.
444
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: truth has some fuzziness around its edges. What could be true for one person cannot be true for another person.
445
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Because of a variety of factors. But a fact is always a fact, and people aren't taught that difference
446
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: which leads to lots of confusion because language has meaning, and unless you're taught what the meaning of words are, and unless your vocabulary expands enough to be able to articulate what you want to get across to other people.
447
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: your society will collapse.
448
::Alese: You know, I've I've been having some really interesting conversations lately on spirituality with a friend of mine who's an author on that topic.
449
::Alese: and we get deep in the weeds and often find ourselves lacking language that adequately encompasses the thought we want to express.
450
::Alese: It's like language is such a handicap.
451
::Alese: If you're trying to communicate something that is not
452
::Alese: as obvious as saying, this cup is red.
453
::Alese: except for where it's silver, you know.
454
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: I have.
455
::Alese: Our language needs to grow.
456
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Yeah.
457
::Alese: Well, you know, back to the AI thing, I I caught
458
::Alese: the the Google search AI straight up lying to me this morning.
459
::Alese: Ask Google.
460
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: That will happen.
461
::Alese: And the AI said, Oh, absolutely, this is true. Here's how you do this thing. And then I go to the software's website
462
::Alese: and it goes. Oh, no, this is not possible. You cannot do this.
463
::Alese: and that happens all the time with Chat Gpt and
464
::Alese: any of the other ais that you know that we use it. So you've got to be able to discern truth from hallucination and be willing to drill down on instead of just taking the AI's word, for whatever.
465
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: I can give you even a different example.
466
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: a simpler example. It's people that work in like a fast food restaurant or any any
467
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: retail situation where they're punching things into their computer because it's just a computer and then they're given a total.
468
::Alese: That you're supposed to pay.
469
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: They don't think about. Does this make sense? And sometimes they push the wrong buttons, or they
470
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: and I actually caught somebody one time they're they're like, I I ordered a happy meal or something for a kid, and they wanted to charge me $10 for a $3 thing?
471
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: I said, does this make sense to you?
472
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: This total that you gave me versus what I ordered?
473
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: They're like, Oh, yeah, yeah. Yeah.
474
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Oh, honey, this is $3. They tried to tell me $6 was tax.
475
::Alese: So.
476
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: I'm like, Oh, my God, you you just don't even have any comprehension of.
477
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: and even more scary. And why people should just, you know, get over the fact. We're going to digital currency because kids today, they don't understand the value of coinage.
478
::Alese: Right like.
479
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: They don't understand what the difference is between a nickel and a quarter.
480
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: It's like, Oh, okay.
481
::Alese: Yeah, I went through this whole swivet on my grandson's birthday
482
::Alese: And like he gave me his wish list. But every time I order something off his wish list.
483
::Alese: It's the same thing that all the other grandparents and aunts and uncles picked, and so we get 6 of them. And I thought, I'm I'm not not going there this time.
484
::Alese: I'm giving the kid cash.
485
::Alese: And then it occurred to me I had no idea what he would do with cash, because he would want to order something off of Amazon, and I know he has a bank account.
486
::Alese: but he doesn't drive yet, so that means his parents would have to take him to the bank to, you know. Anyhow, it's this whole thing. So I had to go to a store that offered a gift card
487
::Alese: in. Well, it was Amazon where his wish was. Reg, so he could order what he wanted off of Amazon.
488
::Alese: Possibly because I couldn't figure out how to just do it off of Amazon and print it. But whatever it's like, they don't.
489
::Alese: Cash is hard.
490
::Alese: And how did that happen?
491
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: And it.
492
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: It's going away.
493
::Alese: Stuff. Yeah, it's going away. It definitely is.
494
::Alese: Did I tell you that my final 70th challenge was, I minted a meme coin.
495
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Fun.
496
::Alese: It was a learning experience is, it has just continued to give, because I offered some
497
::Alese: to friends, and they just all they had to do was give me their digital wallet.
498
::Alese: which doesn't seem like that would be hard
499
::Alese: to those of us who have one.
500
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Yes.
501
::Alese: I found out real quickly how many people do not have digital wallets.
502
::Alese: And so then they had to go set one up, and that was all challenging for them, and then they didn't know which number was the actual public key, so that I could transfer stuff to their wallet. So it was a.
503
::Alese: It was entertaining.
504
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: That's what I do with this AI arbitrage thing. When I it's like, 1st we learn how to open an exchange account, and we're gonna talk about wallet addresses and
505
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: how to move with wallet addresses, and we don't type wallet addresses. We copy and paste wallet addresses.
506
::Alese: God, they're so long, even.
507
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: They're long, and you don't know what O's and zeros are.
508
::Alese: Right? For starters. Yeah.
509
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Just for starters. So yeah, I totally get that.
510
::Alese: Really, I gotta watch the instructions and not just go out and do it.
511
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: It. It really is simple, and if you know, if you already are familiar with exchanges and wallets, this is like
512
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: it'll take you 5 min.
513
::Alese: Cool.
514
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: To set it up and fund it, and then every day it's like 5 min to go push the button.
515
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: which is kind of fun.
516
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: It has been so fun chatting with you, Elise.
517
::Alese: Oh, you're mute! We should more often awful on.
518
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Yeah, yeah, just catch up.
519
::Alese: Yeah.
520
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: So how can people find you to connect with you.
521
::Alese: you know you can reach out to me. We didn't even talk about my book, so let's not go with that address. You can find me at Elise, which is spelled a OESE.
522
::Alese: That fabulous 7 0.com.
523
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: And okay, there, you can.
524
::Alese: Breed my adventures for the last year, and give me some ideas for some new ones.
525
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Is that what your books about is your your adventure?
526
::Alese: Book is about storage.
527
::Alese: Okay, it's called beyond the Locks. And you know, you can reach out to me on that website as well. Same name.
528
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: The locks.com.
529
::Alese: name@beyondthelocks.com or you can buy my book on Amazon. But what it's about is
530
::Alese: everything you need to be aware of the 1st 90 days you own the storage facility.
531
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Basic business advice on how to not mess up your income stream.
532
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Very important information from somebody who's been there and done that which is.
533
::Alese: From somebody who's been there and done that. I wrote it because I
534
::Alese: sold one of my facilities to somebody who had its great national reputation, and
535
::Alese: I thought they would just turn it into something magic, and they pissed off every last one of the customers.
536
::Alese: And 2 weeks later, after they bought it, my office manager. They worked for me for 10 years, and knew all of our customers and their families, and, you know.
537
::Alese: couldn't even walk through Walmart without being accosted by customers who were pissed off the way they were being treated by the new owner, and I thought, Oh, no, you know. Did they do this out of ignorance or intent, or what?
538
::Alese: But I sat down and wrote the book just to help other people avoid that pain.
539
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Yeah, that's really sad.
540
::Alese: Sad. It was hard to watch.
541
::Alese: It was at that point. I couldn't do anything about it.
542
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Yeah, it's not yours anymore.
543
::Alese: Not my baby anymore, you know.
544
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: The circus.
545
::Alese: People spend so much time doing their due diligence before they acquire one of these lovely little facilities.
546
::Alese: Just turn around and not handle it properly once it's actually theirs, I thought. Well, maybe if I can, you know, give them a few suggestions about how to make that not be painful, then it's worth the time to sit down and write this book. So you're gonna buy a storage facility, go, you know, spend a few books and a few hours, and read my advice, and then do with it as you will.
547
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Probably goes for buying any sort of retail organization that
548
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: you're gonna have to deal with the public. And there's just like things that you do, and things you don't do.
549
::Alese: Yeah, you know, some of my reviewers made that comment that it was just good business advice, no matter what business you were buying. So.
550
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Yeah, so go and check her book out beyondthelocks.com.
