So.... why'd Peri get assigned Dev as his first godchild?

Jorgen’s usually not the one in charge of assigning godchildren. There’s an entire department that weighs and classifies potentail Godkids to the right Fairy. Although it’s on strike at the moment.

So Jorgen has to do it by hand, until the union negotiations are resolved. Turns out trying to use paperclips is very hard. Itty bitty paperclips. Big muscular biceps. Not a good combo.

The Blueprint to Unleashing Citywide Takeovers for Real Estate Domination with Jason Palliser

Key Takeaways Jason Palliser built a 34-strategy lead generation system that allows investors to dominate their market without a marketing budget. His biggest lesson came from nearly losing tens of thousands on a flip, which he salvaged through lease option strategies and collaboration. His favorite technology is a custom automation tool that follows up with motivated leads and funnels them through specialized landing pages to increase conversion. United States Real Estate Investor Real Estate Investing Success Tampa with Jason Palliser https://youtu.be/h26h-NoBekY Follow and subscribe to Real Estate Investing Success worldwide on your favorite podcast platform. spotify apple amazon iheart pocket castbox overcast pandora United States Real Estate Investor United States Real Estate Investor Inside the Mind of a Real Estate Machine Builder In this explosive episode of Real Estate Investing Success, the spotlight lands on Jason Palliser—a man who doesn’t just play the real estate game. He redesigns the board entirely. Known for his powerful “Two-Day Investment Blueprint,” Jason brings an arsenal of 34 off-market lead strategies that overwhelm the competition and eliminate the need for traditional marketing budgets. He’s not just building a business. He’s crafting a system. One that transforms average investors into takeover artists capable of owning their city—deal after deal, lead after lead. Freedom, Not Fortune, Fuels the Mission Palliser doesn’t chase dollars. He chases freedom. After years in the funding world watching investors live a relaxed, wealth-driven lifestyle while he clocked hours as a banker, he decided to flip the script. His career pivot wasn’t about adding zeros—it was about escaping constraints. And through that shift, he built something few can match. From TV Fame to Tactical Warfare After working with household names like Rich Dad, Poor Dad and Flipping Boston, Jason had options. But he chose to walk away from the speaking circuit and tech support madness. Why? To go all in on what works—building complete, tactical investment machines for individual investors ready to scale. The result? His Two-Day Blueprint was born—a real estate battle plan tailored to dominate every niche, from absentee owners to junk removal leads. The Moment It All Nearly Fell Apart Behind the success, there's always a scar. Jason’s most painful stumble came from arrogance—a dangerous overconfidence in his funding access. He believed that because he had the capital, he could fix any flip gone sideways. But one wrong deal taught him a ruthless lesson. He bought a property expecting a hefty return, but as the market cooled, the offers shrank. He rejected a modest profit hoping for a better deal, only to be left holding a losing asset. Payments stacked. Options dwindled. The flip that was supposed to shine became a weight around his neck. And yet, it was through this exact struggle that Palliser discovered the power of lease options. By collaborating with other investors, he salvaged the deal, collected upfront payments, and eventually sold the property at a profit years later. It was a storm, but he navigated through—scarred but stronger. The Tech That Turns Leads Into Contracts Automatically Jason’s favorite technology isn’t flashy—it’s lethal. He’s built a custom system that automatically follows up with motivated leads, tailored to each of his 34 lead sources. Whether it’s a tax-delinquent homeowner or an expired listing, the system delivers the right message at the right time, without delay. This platform doesn’t just follow up. It houses dedicated websites for each type of distressed seller. When a property owner visits a tax-assistance landing page, it’s not just an offer—it’s a strategic ambush. One that converts skepticism into signed contracts. “When a lead shows up, we already know what they need—and we’re ready to solve it instantly.” Not Just Success—Predictable, Sustainable Success

What drives Jason today? Sustainability. He’s not interested in flashy wins or one-time flips. He’s obsessed with building machines that deliver predictable contracts, every single month. That’s what he calls success: knowing the machine will spin and produce, without fail. “Success is waking up with absolute clarity, knowing you’ll close multiple deals monthly—no guesswork, no stress.” Real Estate Reimagined Through Ruthless Precision Jason Palliser doesn’t teach investors to compete, he teaches them to dominate. His strategy isn’t about sending another postcard or dialing more numbers. It’s about flipping the game board, redefining the rules, and walking away with the prize before others even show up. With the tools, the tech, and the tenacity to back it up, Palliser proves that success in real estate isn’t just possible—it’s predictable. For those willing to build the blueprint, the city is theirs for the taking.

United States Real Estate Investor Contact Jason Palliser 2 Day Investment Blueprint United States Real Estate Investor Favorite Technology Jason Palliser’s Favorite Technology Jason’s favorite technology is his custom-built follow-up and lead conversion system. This internal platform does three powerful things: Automated Lead Follow-Up: Every lead from his 34 acquisition channels is immediately followed up with, using tailored messaging for that specific lead type. Niche-Specific Websites: For high-value leads like tax-delinquent owners, his system uses dedicated websites disguised as public assistance programs. This earns trust and triggers inbound contact from motivated sellers. Conversion Without Pressure: Because leads reach out willingly, the sales process feels less like persuasion and more like guidance. “The tech does the heavy lifting,” he explains. “It follows up, nurtures, and converts while I focus on strategy.” It’s not just tech—it’s a silent partner that turns leads into deals with ruthless consistency.

Awesome Okay, so before we get into the business part of things, how about you tell us a little bit about your personal life? Okay, so Born and raised in st. Louis kind of like you three four years ago said With my wife hey, I've been here 40-something years. I've seen the arch. I know what it looks like Let's move to someplace warm kind of like we talked about before we started today, right? Right right down in st. Pete St. Pete slash Tampa in Florida for the last three and a half years and it's wonderful and there's no state income tax. So That's what we love to do we love travel and We love being active tennis racquetball all the fun stuff. So On the personal side, that's kind of what we do my wife does National Pet Rescue and stuff like that for ASPCA vet tech stuff. And so that's really rewarding. I did my first foster because she Said hey you can do it I was nervous about fostering our first puppy and we did and Then I grew attached to her. So when it came time to somebody else to adopt her I had I had some

real feelings about that so That's what on the personal level it's kind of what we do love travel and Love supporting her taking care of any animal that needs help. Awesome. Awesome. That's good. That's good How many how many animals you got in the house so far? we have two that are we have a 14 year old which is her pride and joy named Monty and little pogo and then we have a Chihuahua who Feels like he's a 150 pound dog, even though he's six pounds. So that's Right now, right, right. Yeah. Yeah, my daughter. She loves loves loves pets. She's yeah, she's crazy about him So Jason you are the creator of the two-day investment blueprint. It is a blueprint that's designed to take investors To grow into a six to seven figure real estate investing business. Tell us a little bit about that and why you created it Oh, yeah, so I've been in this space for 23 years I've been investment banking for 26 specializing private money hard hard money lending and And also getting bank financing for investors strictly strictly work with investors on that. So about three years into that I Realized I would leave a closing as a banker and helping out an investor get funding, right? They would walk out and high-five me and they make 50 grand and I'm leaving the closing as a banker making two grand I'm like, wait a second. I got a degree in finance. This math doesn't work for me so I transitioned to what I call the dark side, which was investing myself for the last 23 years and So what happened is is a bigger companies like rich dad poor dad Flipping Boston TV show stuff like that. They started hiring me for my Funding expertise because I was top 100 in the nation for funding and I knew every investment program There was I could get funding on almost anything. But what quickly transition was they're like, wow, you're doing lots of deals They're like man. What are you doing to get to those deals? and I saw the value and just diving really deep into the marketing side of things like how do I How do I get to all the off-market properties first? So they started asking me to create these programs Centered around the front end of the business which is getting to everything first and From there I created a software called rei black book Some of your listeners may may know what that is. It's a real estate automation tool. It's used by Kiyosaki and some other people that private label it and gurus at private label it around the nation that Listeners would know and I'm so what happened where the blueprint came was that I got tired of speaking for all these places and hey go to Seattle and teach owner financing for the weekend or lead generation and so I canceled about 20 speaking contracts and Sold the software company so I didn't get 300 support emails a day anymore Which is a dream come true between me you and the listeners. Yeah, and so people for years said hey Can you hey that map that you're showing us that organized map where you attack a city 34 ways? so most investors know five or six ways to get an off-market property and we have 34 and the reason for that is that In the course of doing all the speaking and stuff some larger companies like what we call institutional money or hedge fund players Said hey, look, we need 40 homes a month. We need 50 homes a month. We need 4,000 homes in Dallas in 60 months it we heard you the guy that can put together an engine that'll do that Which I just simply called a blueprint It turned into the two-day blueprint because these companies like man in two days you literally lay out the blueprint So that's where the two-day blueprint came from and about five six years ago. I started doing it for individual investors So if you can imagine for years at the TV show stuff people raising their hand or when we go on a break They're like hey come here And you think you could build me that same map and then off-market attack and I said look I'm too busy Speaking doing 10 to 15 deals a month doing private money blah

blah blah And so once I sold all that stuff and canceled those speaking contracts I'm like, hey I will do an official off-market blueprint build out for you and literally attack the city 34 ways all the way down doing Direct mail for free if they do it exactly how we want them to do and be in 30,000 mailboxes Which took me 11 years to figure that out So that's where the two-day blueprint came from is that people are like man over two days You can literally take over a city and not do the same five things like a vacant list a high equity list and let's do some text messaging and and I'm so There's a better way to attack a marketplace So that's what the two-day blueprint came from and we do about nine or ten of those build outs a year, man That's incredible. That's that's awesome. That's I mean, there's no better word to use then awesome That's pretty that's pretty cool, man. I love hearing that and inspection is especially kind of Bringing it into the tech space which a lot of a lot of investors don't really thoroughly think that that's even an option You know, but you you did it. That's that's incredible. I love it. Well here's the people that are listening Antonio I've never wrote a line of code in my life. I'm not some Technical wizard. I just hired the people and said hey, can you make it do this? Which would save me a lot of time and energy. Hey, could you make this part of the? Investment machine, can you create a widget that does this and and pay them to do it and then put it all together that so Anybody can do it. So yeah. Yeah So you may actually have answered this next question. I'm gonna answer it asking anyway What's what's the one word or phrase that comes to mind for the reason you got into real estate investing? That's that's a good question you asked me a really good question So the reason I did is I freedom I saw I saw the freedom that you know I'm I was on the funding side creating freedom for all these investors and they're like, oh, I'm going golfing and this and that oh my gosh, I got I got any more mortgage appointments today And again, I was doing that at a high level and making a pretty good living But their their lifestyle just seems so much more Relaxed and laid-back and they had freedom. So that's when I said, you know, and I I need to dive into this real estate investment sandbox and Once I did I never looked back. It's the it's the best business decision I've ever made What's your favorite part about being a real estate investor? helping homeowners and while also creating a win for The investment side of the business so it's finding a way to be a solution for a homeowner that needs some help An off-market homeowner that has some level of motivation and then getting the back end Win-win, which is depositing a large sum of money or getting a good short-term rental and having Very good cash flow. So That's that's what I love about it Now there's no way that all this time. You've been doing real estate investing that everything's been so perfect and beautiful There's no way okay So what was the time throughout the journey that you've had so far when you felt most unsuccessful oh That's easy so And I in in The the problems arose because of me as a byproduct So I walked around and I would say probably two years into me doing some real estate investing I was just getting some properties and fixing and flipping them. I started doing a couple rentals and Where the most difficult time for me was is that I walked around going? Wow, I I have all the knowledge and all the funding which everybody comes to me for that and everybody wants it So I've got all the money. So I was like man, I can this is great I'm gonna invest and I can do anything because I got the money I got I got access to the money and So I figured I could do any deal and work my way out of it just because I could get funding where most people may struggle with that right but what happened was is My attitude was a little cavalier

about it And so I was like, oh I can get this and do that and move this around and and so what happened was the market started to turn just a little bit not a lot just a little bit and I had a flip and That flip took extra time and in this I'm sure will resonate with most people and if you've been doing it a while You've run into some variation of this It costs a little bit more than I thought and it took a little bit more time When we put it on the market, you know I was all in at 225 and was trying to get 265 out of it The market started getting a little tighter people are making a little bit lower offers I I had an offer like 232 like man, I'm not gonna make seven grand on this I'm gonna I'm gonna reject that offer and just wait market turned a little bit more Then I dropped the sales price ten grand then people are making lower offers and what I had into it So I was just like oh gosh, I'm gonna I'm gonna take my I'm gonna take my first real estate investment black eye here. I could feel it coming right and I'm so What happened? Was the people that I had helped throughout the years get funding where they? Perceived that they were stuck and I helped them out on that side with the funding side I went to a few of them that do lease options and I'm like, what do I do here? I'm like I had an offer on the table That's gone where I could make a little bit of money and I just didn't want to do it But now I'm in a pickle. And so what they did was they showed me how to lease option the property So I had real heartburn. I'm like, wow, I'm gonna I'm gonna probably end up and I was making payments over time So now I'm in a position to where even if I sold it at 230 You know a little bit above what I originally had into it I've already made payments to where I'm gonna lose 5 10 15 grand maybe even 20 grand So they said hey, let's advertise this out. There's a lease with an option to buy so I found a couple ladies who wanted to do a lease with an option to buy and Got some money down fast forward. I release option that property over a seven-year period because I Renewed with the ladies and took some more non-refundable money down They were about 15 grand into it and but ultimately they couldn't get financing I got it. I got one other person in there that was renting it did the same thing at least with an option and Fast forward like seven years. I ended up selling it I want to say for 265 270, but they paid down my note over time So what looked like a world-class punch in the face ended up because I relied on other people's expertise That I had helped through the years ended up coming out a little bit ahead at the at the end But it was that was stressful. That was a stressful. I'd be lying if I didn't say I walk around and it consumed me during the day I got all these other things going on, but that was consuming me because I was like, what am I gonna do with it? Yeah, yeah, that was my worst spot Yeah that's that's what I always say man relationships are almost everything if not everything because if you don't have them you don't know where to Go or don't know where to turn just like you did when something starts going wrong and the lease options That's that's always one of the better options that real estate investing provides. It's pretty cool Yeah, no, it was I'm glad they showed it to me and quite frankly since I know the funding side of things Yeah, like I knew I knew what that person needed to do or clear up to qualify with my banker head on so That that technique had real sex appeal to me when the investors like let's approach it this way Because I knew why that person couldn't buy today. So I put in place. Hey, you need to do these things Ultimately the ladies didn't they had to clear up a couple things and then one of them took a job where they were self-employed So then they had to wait two years all that good stuff, right? But but that's why that that technique had sex appeal to me because I knew what they would need

to do to qualify So do you feel that uh your previous employment doing mortgages and things like that? Do you think that gives you a personal advantage in this industry? Yeah for this reason Countless times over the years people come to me like hey, man I've done some investment deals and now the banks are telling me I got to put more money down and I Wasn't prepared for that. And I'm so I walk around knowing when I'm looking at a property or making an offer I know what I can and can't do on the funding side. I know how much I'm gonna have to put down I know how long it might take for this type of deal to get funding so I can write a I can write a really good contract With the right dates on it and I know how much I'm gonna have to put down and the rug is not getting yanked out From underneath me quite frankly on the banking side That's that's where my business kind of grew because I got to a point where I didn't take on a single client Unless they went through a 22 question checklist and anybody that hears this. I'm happy to send it to you So I built my career on this is a 22 question investment checklist. It's a non-negotiable You have to read this so that you know what credit scores required after five deals that you have financed How much do you have to put down on your fifth deal? Can you do commercial deal on a residential house? So all these things were the people make mistakes. I created a spreadsheet on that. That's that's how I kicked off the Investment funding banking side of my career and that's that's awesome. That's totally vital. That's excellent. I love that Wow Good good job, man You're the insider that everybody needs. You know that Wow cool What one positive goal are you focused on in your REI business today? On the helping people outside just helping people see a clear path to being free and And showing them how to do multiple deals a month without needing a real estate budget that's the number one reason people come to do a two-day blueprint build out what this is, let me show you how we attack a city 34 ways and 18 of those techniques are free. They don't cost anything. We just need to show you how we do it. So For me personally, it's the reason I still do this quite frankly is that showing a showing an investor how to run this like a machine and do multiple contracts a month without needing a budget and seeing them succeed and and Have the freedom that they deserve. That's that's the number one Back-end payoff and result from helping people. That's incredible Currently, what's your favorite technology you use in your business? Um, I would say that We have some tools built that that automatically follow up with a motivated lead. So when we're going through and Having these 34 different Investment leads and sandboxes to play in right those leads need to go somewhere. So we've built Remember, I built a technology company. So we We built some custom stuff that when the leads pour in they're automatically followed up for each type of lead the right way so so for me personally, it's um, just the The follow-up pieces in the in the end it also houses all of our websites for the different Types of leads we get like a tax delinquent person that comes in front of us is behind on their property taxes That's a top two or three lead source because we track every lead source one to thirty four It gets us when I say it's a top ten. You should pay attention because it's one of three metrics if not all three it's fastest conversation to contract Highest level of motivation or highest equity spread and payoff. So delinquent property tax homeowners are Comprised all three of those so it's a very very good lead I always tell people to go after a list of two years behind or more Because the bank they probably don't have a mortgage because the bank would have already foreclosed because I'm a banker I see. Yeah, because they would lose their lien position at a tax sale So now you're going after leads that are

free and clear which means you can do almost any type of back-end strategy so That so we have behind that technology websites in place where they don't get a letter from us saying Hey before you lose your house to tax that let me put cash in your pocket. They get a letter from us saying Hey, we noticed you're behind on your taxes We pull funders together to help pay those delinquent taxes for those who qualify for assistance reference tax assistance code TAC 4 2 4 0 0 1 they desperately want to reach out to us, but they also want to find us online So we have a website built around tax advocacy. So they come to us the right way They don't come to us and say make your local offer because of our technique. So the technology behind that so The follow-up and the technology to have those websites out there so they can find us and want to speak to us as is probably My biggest weapon. Yeah, that's incredible. That's you got everything in place. That's great, man What's the current portfolio look like you have these days? Well right now we have My wife does all of our Airbnb stuff, so she runs all of our cash flowing assets Um, so that's my favorite back-end strategy right now. We do fix and flips. We do wholesales stuff like that, but on the on the buy-and-hold side we do Vacation rentals because you can get two to three times the rent right now. We have 51 houses under contract so We we do 60 to 70 percent wholesale and then we cherry-pick flips and or vacation rental So so in my world on the personal side of of our business that we run. That's what we do So talking about Airbnb that you mentioned, what do you think about? Airbnb arbitrage, what is your opinion on that? I love it. It's the if you perfect that approach then Think about this Airbnb arbitrage if you're not familiar with it folks is where you talk to somebody who owns a property and say hey Can I lease the property from you? And then what you do is you re you release it out to people as a vacation rental, right? And I'm so landlords want to get their Monthly rent right? So the approach on that just to kind of teach everybody here a little bit the approach on that is this But hey, what if I send a some sex appeal versus a regular renter, right? If you're gonna try and approach a homeowner because the benefit is you don't have to buy the house and and furnish it to get It ready to be Rented out as an Airbnb, right? You can just sign a lease agreement put first and last month's rent and spend five or ten grand furnishing it and For 10 12 15 grand you're into a property now that may produce you on the Airbnb side with with bookings 4050 grand a year like literally 300% return on your money in one calendar year, right? But that but you have to approach since you asked me you have to approach the homeowner the right way The homeowners you sign in a lease agreement a year lease agreement and first and last month's rent So some things you can do that that have sex appeal you back. Look I'll sign a three-year lease I'll even pay a hundred dollars more a month than what you wanted to get you better cash flow But I want to release this out. Oh, by the way, I'll handle all the phone calls You don't have to handle phone call about the toilet. You don't have to handle anything with the property I'll do that and I'll furnish it and That's sexy and then you sound look I'll also have you a CH the payment for me every month You'll be directly connected to my bank account. You'll never have to go wonder if the rents coming So those are things that are sexy to the homeowner. You say hey, by the way every time somebody stays there's it There's a million dollar liability policy policy on every stay provided by Airbnb Yeah Property is protected. You don't have to take any headache phone calls You get automatic payments for me and I'll sign a three-year lease agreement at $100 above what you're what you're looking to rent it for I can't I can't even imagine a landlord saying no to that.

I mean, why would they say no to that? Coming in there having a party and kicking a whole million dollar liability policy exactly Anybody scuffs the wall? Fix it and I always tell them to You'll know real-time what your property looks like too because we have after each day we have professional cleaners go in there So we know what the property looks like all the time you rent it out to somebody for a calendar year You don't know if they're gonna put up family pictures all over the wall And then you're gonna have to fill a bunch of holes in the wall and repaint So we know real-time after each day that the properties in good working condition again, all those responsibilities fall on me so that's where you have the conversation and there's some sex appeal in there and you can get into a property really cheap and Reap the benefits if you do Airbnb, so hopefully that'll answer that question for you. Yeah, that was perfect. Perfect So Jason if people want to get in touch with you, how do they go about doing that? If you want to get in touch with me You can go to the number two day blueprint calm to day blueprint calm or you can just shoot me a text message 314 749 37 37 or you just find me on Facebook Jason Palser and shoot me a friend request or a message or whatever I'm happy to I'm happy to help you. I'm happy to talk to you like we can We can help you attack any city you want and bypass Most investors do the same five things when you have 34 It's literally not figuratively literally not a fair fight like we get in front of so many off-market opportunities People can't people can't stop us like what like it like one and again Doing things without a budget just doing it better than everyone else like as an example as a tip for everybody that hears this one of the things that we do out of 34 to grab good deals is we Go to Google type in junk removal st. Louis junk removal, Tampa Jumper junk removal Phoenix and we taught we we compile all the phone numbers for 15 20 junk removal companies and then we call them and create a Ongoing relationship co-op with them. So all we do is remember Cost you nothing to do this We call them on say hey, look you give lots of bids on property to remove junk. You don't win every bid I'd like to create an ongoing relationship with you. I'm Jason with allied property group If you would like to work with us what we'd like to do is every single time say hey I have a friend that would Literally pay cash for this house and you don't have to lift a finger if you're interested Every time you send us a homeowner and we buy the house, I'll give you two grand You don't win every bid but I guarantee you that if we buy the house you get two grand secondly, if we end up buying the house, I Guarantee you get the bid I'll put it in writing. I want to ongoing relationship with you and think about this folks When do you want to talk to a homeowner? Probably the time if they're looking to remove junk because people don't remove junk just for fun They remove junk when something's going to happen that is a motivated lead at the exact moment you want to talk to them so we show you how to do things differently and and I'm willing to bet if you've Been online and done research you're trying to find ways to do get investment deals and get good leads in front of you That you've never heard that before and think about this a lead is now coming to you where they said it's okay for you To call them. They expect your call and it's not hey, let's go to list and send a bunch of text messages And people say make you a little offer are I'm not selling we don't live in that world There's a better way to approach this That's just one way and just one relationship from one junk removal company is easily could get you easily five to ten deals a year coming to you that cost you nothing up front just as an example like Not a fair fight. We teach negotiations on the back end Joke and say it's irresponsible for us to show you how

to suffocate a city 34 ways and then Not teach you what we call a seller waltz on Informant a conversation that flips a difference in price into a contract. So we'll show you 14 different ways. We do that Man, you got you got it. You got all the tools man. You got the tools. You got the weapons. I love it I love it all love it all Since entering into the real estate investing world. What do you feel you're most grateful for? Oh without a doubt the collaboration between investors Like speaking for almost well right at 20 years, I guess in some fashion or form 20 23 years really The relationships that I created with other people where we collaborate and do deals together like it was fun for me I just did a blueprint for a client last month. They're brand new and I said look when you attack 34 ways You're getting for a deals One you didn't know existed to that, you know in the moment, there's no way you can close it. So the cool thing about us teaching people to be what we call blueprint assassins is that you'll get in front of good deals that We know it's your if it's your first go-around that you're not gonna know how to do So as an example, it's the collaboration and one example is we trained a guy named Chad last month He's brand new he uncovered a mobile home park a motivated mobile home park owner said I'm willing to own or finance it So nobody even needs to get a bank loan, which is great, right?

ILA stops negotiations with USMX

The labor deal between US East and Gulf Coast ports and the International Longshoreman’s Association (ILA) may be unraveling. The current agreement expires at the end of September. It was a six-year deal. The major issue at present is an Auto Gate system Maersk and APM Terminals are using that processes trucks autonomously, with no ILA labor. The union claims this directly contradicts what was…

What is contract negotiation and How to negotiate contract like a boss!

What is Contract Negotiation?

Contract negotiation is a process where two or more parties discuss and reach an agreement on the terms and conditions of a contract. The goal is to create a mutually beneficial arrangement that satisfies the needs and interests of all parties involved. Negotiating contracts requires effective communication, strategic thinking, and a keen understanding of the subject matter. It involves discussing and reconciling various aspects, such as pricing, deliverables, timelines, intellectual property rights, and dispute resolution mechanisms.

Preparing for Negotiation

Research and Gather Information: Start by understanding the industry standards, market trends, and legal requirements relevant to the contract. This knowledge will empower you to make informed decisions during the negotiation process.

Define Your Objectives: Clearly articulate your goals, priorities, and deal-breakers. Having a well-defined agenda will help you stay focused and avoid getting swayed during negotiations.

Identify Your Value Proposition: Highlight your unique selling points and emphasize the value you bring to the table. This will strengthen your position and increase your bargaining power.

The Art of Negotiation

Effective Communication: Maintain a professional and respectful tone throughout the negotiation. Active listening and empathy are essential to understanding the other party’s perspective.

Create Win-Win Solutions: Look for creative solutions that benefit all parties involved. Seek common ground and explore alternatives to reach a mutually satisfactory agreement.

Confidence and Assertiveness: Project confidence in your abilities and assertively advocate for your interests. However, avoid being overly aggressive or confrontational, as it can strain the negotiation process.

Know When to Compromise: While standing firm on your non-negotiables, be open to reasonable compromises that maintain the essence of the agreement. Recognize that negotiation is a give-and-take process.

Document Everything: Ensure all negotiated terms and conditions are accurately captured in writing. Contracts should be comprehensive, unambiguous, and legally binding.

Closing the Deal

Once an agreement is reached, review the final contract thoroughly to ensure it reflects the negotiated terms accurately. Seek legal advice if necessary. Once both parties are satisfied, sign the contract, and maintain a positive relationship for future collaborations.

Mastering the art of contract negotiation requires preparation, strategic thinking, and effective communication. By approaching negotiations with confidence, empathy, and a focus on win-win outcomes, you can negotiate contracts like a boss, securing favorable agreements that advance your professional goals and strengthen your business relationships.

Yesterday [April 30, 2024], a bipartisan collection of US Senators introduced the Fans First Act, which would help address flaws in the current live event ticketing system by increasing transparency in ticket sales, and protecting consumers from fake or dramatically overpriced tickets.

Today, the artists and Congressmen allege, buying a ticket to a concert or sporting event requires negotiating a minefield of predatory practices, such as speculative ticket buying and the use of automated programs to buy large numbers of tickets for resale at inflated prices.

The legislation would ban such practices, and include provisions for guaranteed refunds in the event of a cancellation.

The political campaign organizers, calling themselves “Fix the Tix” write that included among the supporters of the legislation is a coalition of live event industry organizations and professionals, who have formed to advocate on behalf of concertgoers.

This includes a steering committee led by Eventbrite [Note: lol, I'm assuming Eventbrite just signed on to undermine Ticketmaster and for PR purposes] and the National Independent Value Association that’s supported by dozens of artistic unions, independent ticket sellers, and of course, over 250 artists and bands, including Billie Eilish, Dave Matthews, Cyndi Lauper, Lorde, Sia, Train, Fall Out Boy, Green Day, and hundreds more which you can read here.

“Buying a ticket to see your favorite artist or team is out of reach for too many Americans,” said Senator Amy Klobuchar (D-MN).

“Bots, hidden fees, and predatory practices are hurting consumers whether they want to catch a home game, an up-and-coming artist, or a major headliner like Taylor Swift or Bad Bunny. From ensuring fans get refunds for canceled shows to banning speculative ticket sales, this bipartisan legislation will improve the ticketing experience.”

Senators Marsha Blackburn (R-TN), Ben Ray Luján (D-NM), Roger Wicker (R-MS), John Cornyn (R-TX) and Peter Welch (D-VT) also signed on to the Fan First Act.

In the House, parallel legislation was just passed through committee 45-0.

[Note: That's a really good sign. That kind of bipartisan support is basically unheard of these days, and rare even before that. This is strong enough that it's half the reason I'm posting this article - normally I wait until bills are passed, but this plus parallel legislation with such bipartisan cosponsors in the senate makes me think there's a very real chance this will pass and become law by the end of 2024.]

“We would like to thank our colleagues, both on and off committee, for their collaboration. This bipartisan achievement is the result of months and years of hard work by Members on both sides of the aisle,” said the chairs and subchairs of the Committee on Energy and Commerce.

“Our committee will continue to lead the way on this effort as we further our work to bring this solution to the House floor.”

“The relationship between artist and fan, which forms the backbone of the entire music industry, is severed,” the artists write. “When predatory resellers scoop up face value tickets in order to resell them at inflated prices on secondary markets, artists lose the ability to connect with their fans who can’t afford to attend.”

There are situations in which tariffs are a useful tool to address a trade deficit, or to protect key sectors of a country’s economy. Then there are situations where you accuse a bunch of penguins on an uninhabited island of currency manipulation. Guess which one we’re living in?

This is the takeaway of the manifold tariffs announced by President Donald Trump on Wednesday afternoon. In addition to the penguin-occupied Heard and McDonald Islands, the tariffs target the British Indian Ocean Territory, whose sole occupants live on a joint US-UK military base on Diego Garcia island. Yes, the United States is levying reciprocal tariffs against its own troops.

And then there are the tariffs against countries that have actual goods and services on which US consumers depend. China: 54 percent. Vietnam: 46 percent. Cambodia: 49 percent. South Korea: 25 percent. No corner of the US consumer economy will go untouched. Prices will rise. The stock market is spiraling. A recession looms. The tech industry will be turned upside down. Mark Cuban, noted billionaire, is encouraging people to stockpile consumables before it’s too late.

It’s reckless, it’s absurd, and it’s also everything Donald Trump said plainly he would do on the campaign trail. True, he didn’t telegraph how misguided the methodology would be—you can read about it more here, but suffice to say it’s thoroughly detached from the realities of international trade—but he loudly, repeatedly promised to tariff his way to glory.

The stated goal is to return manufacturing jobs to the United States, which is a bit like resurrecting the dodo. The US still manufactures plenty of goods; it’s second only to China in annual output, according to the World Bank. But many of the industry’s jobs have been replaced by automation, a bottle you can’t re-cork. And higher domestic labor costs mean US-made products will inherently be more expensive, a trade-off American consumers have consistently rejected. All of this was already true in Trump’s first term. It’s even more so now.

And let’s say a plurality of companies did decide to reshore or set up factories in the United States. The timeline for those decisions and implementation is measured in years, if not decades, and follow-through can be spotty. (Just ask Foxconn.) So what happens in the meantime?

The rationale has all the weight of a soap bubble. There isn’t a world where the US suddenly manufactures all the items the country has decided to target. There’s a 47 percent tariff on Madagascar now. Do you know why the US has a trade deficit with Madagascar? They produce vanilla; we don’t. Unless we’re suddenly setting up vanilla assembly lines in Ohio, that’s not changing.

But maybe Trump’s so-called Liberation Day is all just a master negotiating ploy. “Everybody sit back, take a deep breath. Don’t immediately retaliate. Let’s see where this goes,” said Treasury secretary Scott Bessent on CNN Wednesday. “Because if you retaliate, that’s how we get escalation.”

It’s an interesting tactic, to start a bar brawl and ask everyone not to punch back in case someone gets hurt. It’s not working. China has already vowed to retaliate; the EU suggested that it could as well. (New Zealand is officially chill.)

Set the economics of this aside for a moment, though. The insult on top of that looming injury is how sloppy this all is. It’s the same blunt-force destruction that DOGE has implemented within the US government, that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has imposed on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, now projected on a global scale. Yes, Elon Musk and DOGE have taken a blowtorch to federal agencies. But the tariffs are a helpful reminder that it's Trump who's fiddling while it all burns.

It’s the instinct to measure wins in units of pain and suffering. It’s an assumption that the only way to help yourself is to hurt other people. This is just what America is now.

The optimist’s case is that this is all a feint, that other countries will capitulate or at least make enough of a show of it that things will go back to normal. Seems unlikely. First of all, they’re already doing the opposite, all apologies to Bessent. But even if they weren’t, even if this is just posturing from the US, that posturing has consequences. Whatever equity the US has built up over the last century as a reputable trade partner has been largely wiped out by a businessman-president best known for his bankruptcies.

And then there’s the pessimist’s case, which also seems increasingly like the realist’s. The US is barreling toward a recession for no good reason, and dragging the world—and a few thousand penguins on remote Antarctic islands—down with it.

not mer Optimus having a one-night stand with the injured mer they're nursing back to health 💀

I imagine Megatron/D-16 is a shark mer, while Optimus is something smaller and flashier. When D-16, healed enough to start swimming again, starts swimming around Optimus and nipping at his back and sides and tail, Optimus doesn't really know what's happening.

They're out together, a decent way away from the other mers in Optimus' pod, and Optimus only realizes what D wants when he swims up under him and slides his belly up against the underside of Optimus' tail until their slits are pressing together. Optimus startles a bit, pulling away at first; but he hasn't interfaced for many lunar cycles and subsequent heats, and D-16's powerful frame did check a box he never knew existed in his processor

He gets some time to think about it as D-16 pulls away, beginning the entire process of nipping at him again. This time, though, Optimus waits until their slits are pressed together again and then twines his tail around D, holding him pressed against Optimus' frame. He looks down just in time to see D's grin before he's being spun and pressed into the sand, and D-16 shows him just how good a shark is at mating

I'm imagining Op as like a lionfish. And Megatron is a great white.

He's courting op even as he's injured. And Op takes them. Which is why he's very confident when he's healed enough to initiate breeding because he can smell Op getting very close to his breeding season. And transfluid can stay active in the forge for up to 7 days. And op would of gone into heat the very next day. But the moment he did. Megatrons transfluid went for the eggs, fertilizing them.

So it was like he never had a heat that season. Op was scared and went to Ratchet, who showed he had been sparked by the very same shark they had nursed back to health.

Op is scared of course. Mostly because he got sparked by another kingdoms residence. But hey at least he wasn't royalty,, right?

Megatron realizes he has a kid when he and his father goes to the automers for negotiations. And out of the carriage he saw the same mear he fucked last year. With a little bitty, she was most definitely a shark. But his lionfish colors painting her body.

But Megatron had a feeling that was his kid.

Humans are weird: The Long War

( Please come see me on my new patreon and support me for early access to stories and personal story requests :D https://www.patreon.com/NiqhtLord Every bit helps)

War’s often did not last long when fought between warring galactic powers. They often fell within one of two categories.

The first would be a short but brutal war in which one side had overwhelming superiority over their rival and would decimate them within a short period of time either resulting in the defeated offering concessions for peace or being incorporated into the victors realm as a new territory.

The second and less frequent of the two would be a drawn out conflict that would reach a stalemate at some point due to the near equal power of the opposing sides resulting in a peace treaty or more likely a cease fire that would last for a few years before resuming hostilities.

These two outcomes were the most frequent as with the age of space travel often came great leaps and bounds in other forms of technology; many times said technology being diverted to respective military industrial complexes.

Weapons that could carve up continents from orbit or snap starships in two like twigs left little in room for anything else.

Humans did not share this notion.

In quite a contrast to the standard norm human military planners also considered lengthier drawn out conflicts. Data sheets and computer banks were filled with projections for supply consumption, industrial production capacities, troop conscription rates, and even the designated planetary ration levels that would be acceptable before general population revolts within their own territory.

This practice was first demonstrated when conflict broke out between the Drumengi and the Terran Republic after a series of trade disputes resulted in the Drumengi seizing several dozen human trade vessels and demanding a ransom for their return. This was a grave insult and the Terran Republic responded the next day with an open declaration of war.

While the Drumengi did not have a sizable fleet, they had invested in a wide range of defensive orbital installations that dotted their territory in what was known as the “Halo of Iron”. No fleet had ever been able to breach the defenses of the Halo and so previous wars had gone for little more than a year before a peace treaty was negotiated. The Drumengi expected as much and planned to force humanity to the negotiation table.

It was unfortunate no one had informed the humans of this plan as the terran’s had already devised a plan to crack the halo.

 Establishing a vast network of relay stations, automated satellite weapons platforms, and mobile fleet waystation’s that were brought in and placed along key trade routes into Drumengi territory, humanity established an iron halo of their own. Once the human ring was completed warning beacons were activated and a message was broadcasted in every language declaring the territory an active warzone and refused passage for any ship to try and cross through it.

Initially the Drumengi were inclined this was the prelude to a massive invasion fleet and prepared themselves, but as the months turned to years still no attack came. Human fleets patrolled the surrounding systems and intercepted all ships that tried to breach their lines with the help of the relay stations that were constantly scanning the surrounding space for ships.

Three years passed and soon every ship learned to avoid Drumengi space for fear of human retaliation; and that is when the Drumengi learned the true plan of humanity.

They never intended to besiege their defensive ring in some full frontal do or die charge. Instead they had formed a blockade that now was choking the very life of the Drumengi economy month by month.

It was never intended for the war to last more than a year, two at max, but now humanity was still showing no signs of relenting as the war dragged on to the fourth year. Critical supplies had not been stored in sufficient quantities for an extended war and while the public was assured of an eventual victory, Drumengi planners were beginning to panic. Worlds within Drumengi space were reporting that their stockpiles had dropped 32% since the war began and were increasingly demanding to open negotiations with the humans.

With little offensive capabilities the Drumengi were forced to sit behind their iron halo and continue to wait out the humans. Several delegations had been sent to other powers to open up channels and begin laying the ground work for peace talks, but each time they were informed that the talks were stalled by human counterparts who proceeded to drag their feet over every minor detail. One delegation went so far to report that a human diplomat would not accept any document unless it was written with a “Ballpoint Pen, color blue”. No one had any idea what that was exactly and even after researching it the device took another three weeks to be shipped in only for the human to reject it again saying that they had imported red pens instead.

The war dragged into the fifth year and supply levels had reached critical across the entire Drumengi domain. Supply levels had decreased by 67% for most worlds while fuel levels now were at a critical 13%. Travel was limited to military personnel, government officials, and what limited transportation still remained. Food riots had broken out in several major metropolitan areas on numerous planets and were becoming increasingly difficult to put down. In some cases the magistrates sent to neutralize the riots switched sides and joined the rioters, beckoning the military to get involved as well. That did little to settle the matter however as then the government worried how long it would be until the military switched sides as well.

With heavy hearts and empty bellies the Drumengi leadership finally came to humanity directly and offered to surrender. No terms were asked for save the resumption of trade and the dismantling of the human ring of iron.

The humans agreed to the first measure, but denied the second. Their ring of iron would remain, as a reminder of how easily humanity could cripple them again should the Drumengi ever show their hand again. They also insisted on reparations for maintaining such an extensive grid and exacted a high sum of credits as well. The Drumengi were outraged at this. They were told not only to surrender but to also pay for their imprisonment? The government would be overthrown within a fortnight when the general population heard the news.

Their pleas fell on deaf ears as the humans reiterated their demands once more.

As they had planned ahead for their long war, so too had they planned for the end result. They had changed the nature of the war and had steered it to the point where either outcome would be in their benefit. If the Drumengi agreed to the terms the current government would collapse in on itself as the general population railed against humanities demands, but if they refused their supplies would run out at the general public would once again violently rise up across their entire domain and their territory would become nothing more than mere pocket kingdoms for despots and criminals.

Regardless of the choice, the long war would finally be at an end.

obviously i’m gonna ask about “A Day In The Life Of A Corrie” 👀 while also bracing myself~

@lesquatrechevrons, here you are! I’ll be tagging you in the other WIP as well.

This one’s an atmospheric study - another slice from the RepGA AU. There are quite a few scenes I’m omitting for spoilers.

In the AU, the Corries don’t stay isolated in the senate for long after they arrive. Fox and co. soon realize they’re working with selective information, and proceed to intel-gather like they’re in enemy territory, building infrastructure and hunting through the lower levels until they hit places most governing bodies have purposefully forgotten about or made completely automated.

Along the way they compete (and negotiate) with criminal syndicates, mostly-forgotten isolated slums, shipping markets, understaffed policing forces, media and news groups, and eventually establishing themselves as a multifaceted shadow-group growing like a foreign, invasive weed under M.C. Fox’s direct command.

It’s a grey war of information, subtle seizure of power, and ugly dilemmas.

LA County GET FUCKED

I got a jury summons earlier this year, but was in the middle of contract negotiations, so I post-poned to this week. I thought I knew where I'd put my jury summons for the portal registration. Get up this morning to call in and see if I actually have to report, can't find it.

No problem, the website lists this phone number you can call.

Note: it SPECIFICALLY says you can call if you've lost your JID or Pin #.

So I call. It's an automated line.

No problem, surely one of the options is "if you lost your juror ID."

No such luck. But the first option is "to call about reporting." So I select that. First thing it asks for: YOUR JUROR ID.

No problem. I'll try another option.

I'll try ALL THE FUCKING OPTIONS. THERE IS NO OPTION THAT DOES NOT REQUIRE YOUR ID #. THERE IS NO OPTION TO SPEAK TO A PERSON.

IF THE DAMN THING DOESN'T UNDERSTAND YOU, IT HANGS UP.

I'm cussing and swearing at the damn robot. I have to either leave for work or for summons, I don't know which. Maybe I left the summons at work - I think I maybe did the initial schedule change at work. I look up another number to try and get in the car.

I call the actual courthouse and reach a person, I'm honestly tearing up a bit with frustration as I tell her the issue and that I know it's not her problem, but can she please help. She gives me another number to try.

I call it. It's out of service.

I cry some more on my way into work. In the parking lot, I find another number for the general court of the county. I call a sweet angel of a human being, who apparently also recently got summons, but she's moving out of state, so she's just not going to go. What are they going to do? "track [her] down in South Carolina?" Anyway, she gives me another number to call, but tells me they're only available 11 am - 2pm, 3pm-5pm. USELESS as I need to call this morning. She tells me just to call when I can and explain the situation.

I get to work, done with crying, moving into pure rage at this point.

I search my whole desk. Can't find the summons. Decide to give the internet search one more go. Find a Reddit thread about this VERY ISSUE! It has a special work around for the first phone number: wait until you get to the list of options, then hit * 0.

I try this: it MAGICALLY UNLOCKS A QUEUE TO SPEAK TO A REAL PERSON!!! I'm now 53rd in line!!!

And before you think, oh this must be a symptom of all those recent government cuts:

THE REDDIT THREAD IS FROM 7 YEARS AGO!!!!!

FUCKING HELL. This is a KNOWN ISSUE!!!!

Wish I'd known there's already a known work around they could have fucking listed on the website so I could have added that to my complaint to the webmaster.

Guess I know what to tell them if/when they reply.

Reblog to save someone else in LA County from hell: Call (213) 972-0970 - wait for the list of options, then press * followed by 0 to get to the real person call line.

Almost forgot about the zombie apocalypse one

Whb angelfication infection AU

Based off of my zombie apocalypse poll

Lore:

Angelification has gotten far worse than anyone would have anticipated. Even the angels themselves trembled in fear when they realized that it was much more than a way to convert and kill devils as they saw what their own eyes, one of their own kind, becoming infected. Not even humans are safe as the barriers between humans hell and angels have fully broken. As numbers of demon and Angel and human alike begin to dwindle.

there was still hope since All Seven Kings were still alive. However negotiation with humans are very difficult... Most angels went into hiding drowning and guilt of what they've done

The seraphim realizing that this must be a punishment from God team up with the devil's helping to push back against the infection....

Many devils still stayed loyal to their kings, Though others became more and more dangerous seeking power, as all that's left is their will to survive.

You are somewhere in either the human world or hell they can still feel that you're alive. So they are racing to find you before something else does.

Satan

Gehenna is full of nasty demons twisted by the will to survive. Many demons that are doing okay are ones you shouldn't get your self involved with.

The Gehenna faction is still strong, their castle is turned into a makeshift stronghold. And it is considered the safest protected by bloodthirsty devil's wanting nothing more than to protect their last piece of home. Is also the biggest home to many survivors demons angels and humans alike. However tensions always arise.

Satan is actually scavenging in the human world and trying to find You; with their king gone the two devils in second command are Amy and Sitri. Gehenna is honestly your safest bet But it's not perfect. Everyone from the fraction are most helpful and sometimes even go out to help other groups or factions. And they are encouraged to do so.

Mammon

With their currency now useless you would think Tartaros would fall in an instant. But are also wealthy and resources being a gold mine of food, water and other supplies. However their trades always come at a cost since they too are also surviving on these very same supplies.

Money does very little for them at the moment But if there's anything else that catch their eye They will let you know. Devils from Tartaros are mostly merchants trying to trade.

Mammon has ways to find you without him lifting a finger, like using drones or paying people with the finest treasures to bring you. Right now they need to focus on more automation So they could grow more food in the long run They are practically reliant on machines since none of the survivors in Tartaros want to actually do physical labor.

Leviathan

Foras' invisibility ability comes in great handy since he is able to sneak past most if not all attention he could go and find you while Levi deals with Hades.

Hades is actually doing quite well with a strict regimen of fighters and devil so loyal to Levi it's practically brainwashing. Hades is usually self-reliant not relying on other countries or whatnot. No one can get in but no one can get out.

Leviathan however isn't doing so good. His psychee on the verge of a breakdown as he thinks about you every night His breath shaking after waking up from nightmares upon nightmares upon night terrors. He promised to keep you safe. This isn't safe. You are not safe. He will not rest He will not sleep until you're found and once you are found he will never let you go. His subordinates are also well aware of leviathan's mental decay.

Beelzebub Bael

He has no idea where Beel is He's worried sick He doesn't even know if his king is still alive. He hasn't stepped foot in abyssos since the outbreak. Hell he doesn't even know how to contact him anymore. Before he leave all he said was "I'm going to find them." And left.

Much of Abyssos had also taken the same idea as their king as they found that scavenging for more supplies as far easier than relying on wherever the fuck Tartaros is doing and they're acting king is sure to keep this place safe for when the people return with more supply.

Abyssos is a labyrinth of secret tunnels in passageways and passwords. But for good reason since they scavenge the most they tend to have the rarest items that even Mammons would love to get his hands on.

Lucifer

Lucifer is worried about you He is worried sick but he has far more pressing matters to tend to. His new rule in Paradise lost that Only doctors and the sick can reside here. Nothing else can get in so Paradise loss is the safest place if you can manage to make it there and even then if you're healthy they'll either put you to work or turn you away.

Lucifer himself is not tending anyone He's actually studying the process of angelification and the infection and trying to reverse it. His work is far more important since he could save many many lies He just... He just needs more time.

When Lucifer isn't researching He leaves with his two brothers trying to find either samples or trying to look for any leads to where you might be. In exchange for this information they will give their services.

Belphegor

He can't sleep, how can he in the same boat as Leviathan he experiences those same nightmares and night terrors and the only thing more hassle than being awake is having a nightmare. His body is not used to This little amount of sleep. If his narcolepsy isn't taking effect then he has not sleeping plain and simple.

Human world energy drinks are a lifesaver. So he would be awake for a week pass out and fall asleep for another week. With days of night terrors. He could just use his powers to find you but with so little energy he can't even control it at the moment. But Harumon So heartbroken and on the verge of tears at his friends takes up the mental to go find you himself. Thinking that if he did everything will go back to normal.

Niffleheim being the strict regimen is a very safe place if you're willing to put in a lot of work as soon as they let you in you are trained to fight in combat and either sent to protect niffleheim or sent out to kill as many of those motherfuckers as possible. If you're lucky you might also be sent to other countries in the human world or hell to help.

Asmodeus

These devils may serve asmodeus. But they also think that Asmodeus should be king of all hell... Asmodeus does not mind their way of thinking but does not make an effort to change So with a boiling over pressure cooker it just takes the right moment... The red prison has been destroyed...

Things are not always bad in Abaddon however. Asmodeus has a cult now. They're loyalty two asmodeus is terrifying as his subordinates and members of the red prison go far and wide to recruit more members or just you know having fun with their freedom....

Asmodeus... Doesn't give two shits. I mean technically he is helping... All he has to do is tell them what to do and they'll do it. He seems to be enjoying his life as the god of his new cult... Yes he could be actually helping, but he has greater plans. He might use threats and his cult as a bargaining chip to have you completely, But those are only his thoughts.

Asmodeus potential good guy or villain: Yes???
