Thrivenomics

There may not be a more passionate evangelist for the benefits of Reverse Mortgages anywhere than our special guest, Loren Riddick.  Riddick, Thrive Mortgage's National Director of Reverse Lending, shares with James and Raul about his journey from college athlete to the world of residential finance.

Like most Loan Originators, many years ago, Loren entered into his mortgage career with very little knowledge of what distinguished a Reverse Mortgage from any other product.  Over time, Loren began to educate himself and see the value the Reverse product brought to Seniors.  How it opened up new opportunities for financial freedom.

In our interview, we cover several of the common myths associated with Reverse lending and uncover how it can actually transform retirement financing for so many homeowners.  Whether you are a Senior contemplating your financial situation, an estate or financial planner, a Realtor, or another real estate professional... we invite you to listen in to hear a great conversation about the work that Loren and his team are doing to educate so many about the benefits of Reverse Mortgages.

In this fascinating discussion, we interview Jeff Sandefer, Co-Founder of Acton Academy.  What he and his wife Laura have done, along with the support of hundreds of families across the globe, is create a revolution that has reignited a love of learning.  Not simply for the sake of "knowing", but for the joy of "becoming".

Acton Academy is focused on "equipping children to share learning with each other, in a close-knit community with extremely high standards of excellence."  The model for all academies is very unique but rooted in philosophies that have existed for centuries.  Calling upon the Socratic Method (starting with a great, overarching question and letting the learners grapple with the potential answers), the Guides at Acton introduce students to experiments, case studies, and resources that bring about a journey of discovery, rather than bell schedules and lectures.

Since its formation in 2010, Acton has grown to more than 270 campuses across the globe with more on the way.  We invite you to listen in and learn more about this amazing journey of two entrepreneurs who saw a need and found a way to provide children with a transformative experience in their education.

When you think of Texas, what comes to mind?  For many people, it's typically a  combination of cattle, cowboys, oil fields, and pumpjacks.  How about internationally acclaimed wineries? 

In Central Texas, along Highway 290 just west of Austin, Winemaking has been a rapidly growing industry for a number of years.  In this week's episode, James and Raul sat down in the studio with Henry Crowson, founder of Crowson Wines in Johnson City, Texas.

Henry and our hosts "poured" over a wide range of topics including the history of the wine trade in Texas, the Art and Science of Winemaking, as well as enjoying a tutorial on finding and enjoying your next glass.  We even had the pleasure of sampling two of Henry's newest releases coming out the weekend of June 5th, 2020.

Whether you are a complete wine novice or an oenophile, this week's episode has something for everyone.  Please join us as you grab your favorite vintage, someone to enjoy it with, pour a glass and listen in as we learn a thing or two about one of the oldest industries known to Man.  As Shakespeare wrote, "Good company, good wine, good welcome can make good people” (Henry VIII, Act 1 Scene 4).
