  • Few if any projects will be built in South Florida’s urban core that are not mixed-use.
  • There is plenty of capital and plenty of solid sponsors but very few transactions.
  • Who can find a good job in real estate.
  • Where the best target markets are.

Jim will rock the show with #CRE info.

New Treatments for Brain Cancer and Sports Concussions

Ricardo Komotar, M.D., returns to the show thanks to UHealth. One of our most interesting guests, Dr. Komotar performs open, awake craniotomies, studies the impact of concussions in sports and has a new laser technique to assist with brain tumors. He also has an amazing sense of humor.

Our discussion on concussions in sports covers treatment of concussions, identification of concussions, prevention of concussions, symptoms of concussions and more. Make sure to be with us for this interview!

Walk In Lauren’s Shoes: A Look Back at Her Walk Across Florida

Lauren Book, founder of Lauren’s Kids, was a victim of childhood sexual abuse for six years at the hands of her nanny. Armed with the knowledge that 95 percent of sexual abuse is preventable through education, Lauren has worked to turn her horrific personal experience into a vehicle to prevent childhood sexual abuse and heal survivors by starting Lauren’s Kids. Lauren’s Kids encourages victims to “shine a light in dark places” and “shed the shame.” On March 19, Lauren embarked on her fourth annual 1,500-mile Walk in My Shoes education and awareness journey. This year’s Walk kicked off in the Florida Keys. Lauren will crisscross the state, traveling north and across the Panhandle, before concluding in Tallahassee for the Rally in Tally on the steps of Florida’s Historic Capitol on April 23, 2013. This year’s rally will be especially meaningful, as April is National Sexual Assault Awareness Month, and the national 2013 theme is focused on the prevention of child sexual abuse.

One of our first weekly themes was signs of abuse – things like nightmares, regression, sexualized behavior, mood swings, aggression, eating disorders – these are short-term effects of abuse. However, the effects of sexual abuse extend beyond childhood and into survivors’ adult lives. Many adult survivors of child sexual abuse experience low self-esteem, depression, self-injury, lack of trust, re-victimization in abusive adult relationships and flashbacks. Some adult survivors even get into drugs, alcohol dependence or prostitution.

Even as victims go through the healing process of becoming survivors, the abuse they suffered will stay with them for the rest of their lives. We know that prevention is key – 95% of abuse is preventable through awareness and education.

During the 2013 Walk, Lauren highlighted a different key aspect of child sexual abuse each week: Signs; Disclosure and Reporting; Predators: Grooming/Pedophile Tactics; Prevalence and Healing; Effects of Child Sexual Abuse; Youth-Serving Organizations; Education and Prevention. To learn more about Lauren and her annual statewide Walk in My Shoes, visit www.LaurensKids.org.

We talked to Lauren from the road every week. This week’s topic: Reflections From The Walk.

UF Real Estate Update

Jim attended the Annual UF Trends and Strategies Conference last week

He will tell you what he learned at the conference and he will speak with one of the Program's students:

Emme Benoit about why she choose the UF MSRE program and what she is learning.

*************************************

About Our Guests:

Emme Gisele-Louise Benoit 

Emme graduated from the University of Tennessee with a degree in Supply Chain Management, but deep down, always knew real estate was the path she was meant to take. So, she followed her heart and pursued that passion. Now, she is a Master of Science in Real Estate (MSRE) student at the University of Florida, a journey that was largely inspired by her father's successful career as a commercial real estate developer.
 Emme’s fascination with real estate isn't just about the industry itself; it's about the impact it has on communities and landscapes. She loves seeing how built spaces come to life, transforming areas and changing the skyline. It's about bringing a vision to reality and witnessing the profound changes that follow. This passion drives her every day and fuels her dedication to the field.
      Currently, she serve as the Co-President of the UF Women's Real Estate Society and as an MSRE ambassador. These roles have given her the incredible opportunity to lead, inspire, and connect with like-minded individuals who are as passionate about real estate as she is. Through these positions, she aims to empower women in the industry, foster a supportive community, and advocate for sustainable and innovative practices in real estate. 
      Emme’s journey in real estate is a testament to following one's passion and making a tangible impact on the world. She is committed to learning, growing, and contributing to the industry in meaningful ways, and she is excited to see where this path will take her.

About Our Guests:

I am Matthew Gold, better known as Med Matt. I am here to help you navigate the often confusing world of Medicare Supplements and Advantage plans, plus other insurance solutions. I will take the most complex components, terms and phrases and reduce them to bite size pieces. You will know exactly what your options are and how they work. I am here to give you the tools you need to get all your questions answered.

For me, this all began in 2012. I found myself looking for a new opportunity, changing my career in the mortgage industry for healthcare protection. As it turned out, a few years after my move, I had my own health issues that I had to deal with. This help me better understand what I needed to know as well as have a greater appreciation for healthcare insurance. Since then, my health is exceptionally good, my navigational skills through plans is spot on and I know, at a very personal level, the reasons why we all need insurance. Now you will too.
