Gene Baur is the founder of Farm Sanctuary, a place of rescue, refuge, and adoption for hundreds of farm animals each year. Farm Sanctuary shelters enable visitors to connect with farm animals as emotional, intelligent individuals. Gene has also led campaigns to change laws about animal treatment and taken undercover photographs of farms, stockyards, and slaughterhouses, documenting deplorable conditions. His pictures and videos exposing factory farming cruelties have aired nationally and internationally, educating millions about the plight of modern farm animals, and his rescue work inspired an international farm sanctuary movement. Once called “the conscience of the food movement” by Time magazine, Gene walks the walk and talks the talk when it comes to food and animal rights. Jay and Gene discuss the political and cultural steps that will bring about the end of factory farming and a healthier approach to animals and food.

Dr. B thinks it's going to be creativity & innovation skills . COVID-19 is shakin up the global economy for real. Those that are most creative in adapting and innovating will take the cake. But we couldn't ignore the fact that years before, Dr. B rose through the ranks in the Chicago Police Department, ultimately working directly with the CPD superintendent as policy advisor. On her journey upwards, she saw A TON. Don't judge me for lingering on her stories as an undercover prostitute. Just tune in and listen to her amazing stories yourself!

What happens when a right-wing Jewish Trump supporter and a left-leaning Palestinian Bernie fan get into the same restaurant back stockroom? Fireworks, baby! Episode 93 of Business News and Other Sh!t. What's up, y'all? We had Howard Weitzman. This dude is a big-time real estate dude here in Chicago. Yeah, we talked a lot of good businesses. By the end of it, this dude walked us through one of his largest and wildest deals. He did a 320-unit building. It was an old freezer building that he converted into lofts, and he had to go through a whole lot of hoops, especially with the government, to make that happen. But before we got to that, this dude was talking some crazy-ass shit. What was he saying? I brought up the whole Tree of Life Pittsburgh synagogue shooting. I was like, "Yo, how can you support Trump, dude?" And he was blaming the synagogue and saying they should have had security. I'm like, "Dude, you're crazy, man." We didn't disagree on everything though. A lot of Palestine/Israel stuff we disagree on, of course, but we did agree on work ethic and how his dad raised him and how my dad raised me. We did agree on how politics is full of a bunch of bullsh!t. And we did agree on real estate and how to make smart moves. Ready for some fireworks? You're gonna enjoy this one. Then sit back, relax, and enjoy the episode y'all.

#92 CURING Major Depression + Anxiety Issues with ONE Ketamine Session w/ Bal Nandra, Owner of Chicago IV Solution 1:26:35

What up what up? Episode 92, listeners. How y’all doin’? BNOS, Business News, Other Shit. We are in the back stock room of Cedar’s. Rockin’ Out. Guy’s we have Dr. Bal Nandra (https://www.ketamineChicago.com) on the episode today. We also had Lancey Joe (https://www.instagram.com/lanceyjoe/), Comedian. Check him out at Chicago Joe’s, Thursdays and Fridays, 8 PM. This Dr. Bal is a serial entrepreneur. He’s also an anesthesiologist. So this guy is always runnin’ some kind of business. Right now, he’s a ketamine pro, running a ketamine shop out of River North. Supposedly--this is what he said, it’s hard to believe, but I think it’s true--with just one ketamine session, a person can be lifted out of their depression / anxiety. And this is for people who have really debilitating depression and anxiety. So it’s powerful stuff. Dr. Bal talked about his first entrepreneurial adventure, which was owning a company called “Haute Auto” in River North, where they would deck out Pimp-My-Ride kinda stuff. IT FAILED miserably. And he talks about that and what he learned and how much he lost. He talked about MJ (Michael Jordan) comin’ in there and becoming friends with him and never buying anything. Bal talked about nurturing relationships and how important that is. He’s saying even twenty or thirty years later, some of these relationships are coming back FULL CIRCLE. He also talked about other controlled substances like psilocybin a.k.a. Magic Mushrooms, that are being investigated as possible ways to help people heal from depression and other mental issues. You’re about to learn a lot about psychedelics from a pro. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the episode.

Former grain trader, economics pro, so kind of a different real estate sales guy, he knows his sh!t. This dude’s advice to us is: "if you’re gonna buy, wait until right before the election." Because he thinks real estate markets are gonna take a little bit of a dip around that time. Everyone gettin’ afraid and skittish ahead of time. So he goes into detail around that, listen in to make sure you understand why he’s making that prediction. This dude’s also a Certified Negotiation Expert, C-N-E. That’s right, if you get into a hostage situation, call James Sheehan, your Irish negotiation expert.

We had a couple guys on today besides our bad boy John Dolder, we had Quinton James, and Dan Baker, comedian and fellow improv teammate. Quinton James ( https://www.truementors.com/ ), this dude grew up in the wild, wild hundreds. And if you’re not from Chicago, let me tell you about the wild, wild hundreds. They are pretty wild. So this dude is kind of a wonderful story of coming up from a difficult background from where he grew up and now runs his own organization called True Mentors. This dude believes and explains how your network is your net worth. For real. He sets up mentors with mentees. Quinton James dropped some serious bombs on us. He distinguished between stress vs. pressure. It was super interesting and how stress is really driven by a negative mindset, while pressure’s actually a good thing, and you can use a positive mindset to really benefit from pressure. That was cool, make sure you tune in and listen to that. And don’t forget, we tape from the stockroom of Cedars ( http://www.eatcedars.com/ ), the restaurant I own. Come check us out y’all!

Come on by -- we’ve got some cool stuff, like Middle Eastern fried chicken and Middle Eastern fish and chips. You're going to love it. Say "What's up!" if you see me as well! Danielle Pierce -- she's cool. You don't need to be a real estate broker to make money in real estate. There are other ways, and she broke down for us how to make money by becoming a repair and maintenance person for foreclosed properties. She basically works from her computer, anywhere she wants to, by hiring contractors to go fix houses for banks that have foreclosed on houses. She also talked about making money through tax liens, and how she basically will buy properties on the cheap for $1,000 or $2,000, and then later on, sell them for double or triple, if not even more. The hardest part about all of this? Dealing with contractors. She's figured out some tricks and secrets after doing this for almost 10 years. She was super cool and super smart. She's based out of Texas now, but she is a coach for wealth strategy when it comes to real estate. She's going to walk you step-by-step through an eight-week course she runs so you can make money by managing contractors for repair maintenance on foreclosed houses. And she can coach you on being a tax lien investor, where you can simply use $1,000-$3,000 to buy a property that has been delinquent on its taxes and the government now owns. And man, she has some crazy stories about contractors and tax liens! You're going to learn a ton about how she does this and how you can do it too! So sit back, relax, and enjoy the episode.

No, the dude is like, yo, none of that stuff matters as much as you being happy and using money to build your contentment. And me and John admitted, we struggled with contentment. So Cory broke it down for us and explained how his approach at Sound Financial Group is different than your average broker at Morgan Stanley. How they actually charge a design fee to help you design your financial life as opposed to taking 1% of commissions each year. He is a very cool and smart guy. He really gets in depth on financial advising in this episode. Anyway sit back, relax.

What's up BNOS listeners! This is episode 85 the first one of 2020! That's right we just finished a decade with a stock market bull market for 10 straight years. Wow, hope y'all made some cash. Our guest today was Cory Shepherd, the president of Sound Financial Group ( www.sfgway.com ), and he runs a podcast called “Your business, Your wealth” ( www.yourbusinessyourwealth.com ). He is a very cool and smart guy. He really gets in depth on financial advising and you can catch our deeper conversation in Episode 86. Which comes out later in the week. But what we talked about besides that longest bull market was Carlos Golson. This is the dude that ran Nissan Mitsubishi. One of the biggest car companies in the world and then he gets arrested in Japan. Then this week the dude fled Japan somehow, some way without passports, the dude escaped the country. It's like some crazy TV shit. Then we get into this attack that Donald Trump approved. Basically, they killed a top General. I had previously talked about oil prices going up and they have been going up the last three months since I mentioned that. But I think oil prices are done. Anyway sit back, relax. Enjoy peace, y'all. 4:03 Quick rundown of Sound Financial 7:05 Holding a strategy: The Restaurant 11:38 Cory’s Growing up 19:18 Dubai 23:38 One of the longest bull markets 2010-2020 32:27 Carlos Ghosn, financial crimes, Nissan 41:20 Cultivating contentment 48:04 General Soleimani Attack Connect with Amer and BNOS: Visit the BNOS Website: http://amerabdullah.com/ Like BNOS on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/businessnewsandothershit Follow BNOS on Twitter: https://twitter.com/theamerabdullah Follow BNOS on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theamerabdullah Subscribe on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUV4hDV5i4o0wHHydh6RcCA?view_as=subscriber Sound Financial Inc. dba Sound Financial Group is a registered investment adviser.

Our guest was Brian Reed the comedian. I love this dude.

And he promised to come back in the new year and report to us what his results were. We also talked about Facebook. Are they a monopoly? What's a monopoly? How do you think about a monopoly? You know, these guys run the majority of social media in the world so yes they are a monopoly. We talked about China, we talked about Brexit, the world becoming less and less economically integrated. That's nothing to sneeze at y'all. It has big consequences. Short term it may be positive for the United States stock market.

J. J. Wenrich is a Certified Financial Planner and 20-year veteran of the investment world. He developed his fascination in the stock market as a child, watching business reports on PBS, one of the few stations available in his small-town Kansas home. During the freezing winters and blazing summers, he was inside learning about what he calls “the amazing world of stocks.” Despite his small-town upbringing, J.J. had progressive teachers along the way who included personal finance and stock-picking games in their curriculum. Later, his education continued at The University of Kansas, reigniting his love of the market. So much so that, while his buddies headed off to Mexico for spring break, he stayed on campus and spent all-nighters watching CNBC, geeking-out on stock charts and spreadsheets as he followed equity markets around the world. Since then, J.J. has built a 20-year career in financial planning and investments, working with some of the best investment professionals and financial advisors in the U.S. Along the way, he met his wife Jodie—also a financial professional—and together they built a family “portfolio” including Jodie’s son and another three children born within 30 months. It’s that family unit that is the basis of J.J.’s lessons on educating kids about healthy financial habits and Teaching Kids to Buy Stocks.

What up BNOS peeps, When all else fails, find heaven under your mother's feet. Our guest Kison Patel hit rock bottom and did just that with his mom - which then propelled him into the world of Subway sandwich franchises, then business brokerage, and finally becoming and M&A pro. Kison slapped us with a bad ass line: "Disrupt yourself or die." Though I personally practice that, I'm not gonna lie: sometimes I rather DIE! This dude Kison disrupts himself errryday - he now runs his own software company that makes M&A deals way more efficient (Founder and CEO of DealRoom & host of the podcast " M&A Science ") Kison & I exchanged brown kids war stories - he grew up running motels, I grew up fighting white power crazies at my uncle's gas station. Welcome to America! In the end, we both came out waaay stronger for it. Bottom line: owner's mentality is priceless. We finally broke down M&A - mergers & acquisitions - wtf are they REALLY?

We get into some of that and how their stock has been plummeting. Then we get into WeWork. The real issue here is SoftBank as they are the one that's really screwed. Those guys have a $100 billion vision fund that is totally at risk here with Uber Slack and WeWork shit in the bed. And finally, Facebook. Facebook's trying to do to the banking industry what they did to the newspaper industry up with their Libra cryptocurrency. They trying to take over banks and credit card so that everyone can kind of just use cryptocurrency on their website to do their business. Thank you for listening, enjoy the ep! Peace.

He showed us that he's willing to roll up his sleeves and clean some toilets and wash some dishes. That's right. Dude is VP of finance at Factor 75 . A company that makes food- organic, grass fed type of food- and then delivers it already cooked and chilled to your door. He's basically CFO for that company. We asked him, "yo, how do you make that chedda?" and he says it's all about work ethic in his opinion/experience. Noshod broke down some crazy stories from his time at military school and as a cross country runner- some depressing sh!t, but it was actually great because he ended up winning in the end. And, finally, Masroor, walks us through what it means to really have an owner's mentality. And how does that relate to the saying, "own your sh!t"? Yeah, Masroor told us some personal stories around that- really powerful. We finished off talking about something unexpected- the Chicago Public School situation- and some ideas we have to make things better (if CPS would ever listen to us, but why would they? No idea.) There's so much knowledge already out there with Khan Academy and other similar sites that maybe there's some wacky or otherwise outside-the-box solutions for CPS's problems. So anyway, sit back, relax. Enjoy the episode. Thanks for tuning in, ya'll. Peace.

Q: What do you get when China & the NBA go toe-to-toe? A: Yao Ming The Chinese LOVE basketball. The Chinese ADORE the NBA. The Chinese government HATES an outspoken NBA. It feels like a $4 billion NBA business in China was flushed down the toilet overnight with one tweet: "Fight for Freedom, Stand with Hong Kong" Is this bigger than the NBA? Yup. Do American companies have a spine when it comes to China? Nope. Is this really all Daryl Morey's fault? Daryl WHO? Episode #71, y'all. After breakin down the NBA and China, we gets to talkin to John Kennedy. Don't worry, his middle initial ain't "F." This dude is a brain coach. He runs a company called Combat Brain Training . He's a former corporate guy that developed a brain-training system for Marine Special Ops on how to sniff out an IED device (booby traps) in Afghanistan. Basically, it boils down to mental agility: can a Marine take in TONS of info in the moment and make a critical decision to save his/her own life? Spoiler alert: the Marine CAN. John taught them how. And now he's teaching athletes, business folks, and investors how to do the same thing. I did a demo of this technique - WHOA! It worked! Make sure you catch the full run-down of his interview in part 2 (released Thursday). Peace, Amer.
