    How to Update Your Kitchen Cabinets
    Oct 10 2025
    Allen Curran - Curran Cabinetry and Design On the Knowing Your Users: "So if you have teenagers at home, it might come in really handy to be able to slow that down so they don't have the opportunity to slam things shut." We all live in homes with a few of the same types of rooms. We all have kitchens, bathrooms, bedrooms and a place to do laundry and maybe even a place to hold stuff in the garage. In almost all of these rooms we have cabinets. That is where the similarities deviate. Cabinets can be made of a variety of materials, and styles. How do you choose the best cabinets for your remodeling project. Allen Curran, owner of Curran Cabinetry and Design, knows a thing or two about cabinets. He has been in the industry for years and has seen designs come and go and come back again. Listen as Allen explains the nuances of cabinets, the different design options and even the things you don't see, but you actually feel when using the cabinets. It opens up a whole new world to making your house a much nicer home. Enjoy!

Gray, blue, and green are the other options. And if you look at the blues and the greens, they will tend to have a shade of gray in them. And the reason for that is so much easier to decorate with other colors. If you wanted cobalt blue cabinetry, certainly we can do it. We offer all the Sherwin Williams paint colors as standard, different colors to choose from. But if you want cobalt blue, my biggest concern and first question is going to be how long before you get tired of that color?

It's a beautiful sunny day. James Kademan [00:01:11]: Yeah. We're talking cabinetry here. Allen Curran [00:01:13]: We are. James Kademan [00:01:14]: So let's just start with the foundation. How do you get in the cabinetry business? Allen Curran [00:01:18]: Well, how I got into the cabinetry business is I applied for a job, having had experience selling to general contractors and found out a little bit later that I was the only one who applied and dressed in a suit. That's my claim to fame, is I wore a suit the right day. James Kademan [00:01:37]: You know, that is. That's funny. You say that side anecdote here. I'm hiring, I guess you've been doing some hiring. And I get people in Zoom meetings. You probably, I imagine, have people in person. Allen Curran [00:01:48]: A bit of both. James Kademan [00:01:49]:

  • The Elevator of Wealth

    The Elevator of Wealth
    Oct 4 2025
    Lane Kawaoka - The Wealth Elevator On the Reaching Higher Wealth Floors: "For some people out there, above a few million dollars net worth, time is more valuable than money. It's not the pursuit of money anymore, but it's the pursuit of trading in the money for the experiences." One of the most important things to know when building your wealth is to use the tools that are available to you. Interestingly, the tools available to you grow as your wealth increases. This means you need to build your awareness of opportunities, as you build your wealth. Lane Kawaoka, founder of The Wealth Elevator and a seasoned real estate investor, helps build that awareness to educate people that are in wealth building mode. Lane started out like most of us, as a young worker-bee, blindly following the traditional path—working a W-2 job, saving up for a house, and living frugally. Realizing he wanted more and more was out there, he moved to discovering the power of cash flow and passive income through real estate investing. Starting with a single rental property, Lane scaled his investment portfolio strategically and ultimately transitioned from hands-on property management to larger commercial deals and passive investments. Lane and James dive deep into the nuts and bolts of real estate, including how to evaluate a property with the rent-to-value ratio, why market selection and insider knowledge are critical, and how networking with the right crowd can redefine your investment trajectory. Lane breaks down key concepts like forced appreciation, the difference between Class A, B, and C properties, and the barriers to entry that can be both a curse and a blessing in the business. Listen as Lane explains the value of knowing what opportunities are available to you at the floor you are on in the wealth elevator. Enjoy!

Got a property manager started to rent it out. And that was kind of where I got this taste of cash flow. And that was back in 2009, 2010. And when I mean the numbers, you look at this thing called the rent to value ratio, where you take the monthly rents divided by the purchase price. If that is not anywhere near 1% or higher, it's not going to work. You know, like, it might be a great place to live, great school district, but, you know, we're trying to find good rental properties that cash flow. And that was kind of why I started to buy these turnkey rentals. Lane Kawaoka [00:00:32]: Out in Birmingham, Atlanta, Indianapolis.

  • How to Use AI for Video Shorts

    How to Use AI for Video Shorts
    Sep 26 2025
    Ibrahim Mohmed - Taja.ai On the Being Real: "The first element is you have to be authentic. So it's about what's authentic to you." The world of business gets moving with marketing, and marketing now happens via social media platforms. These platforms love short form video, to keep our attention spans short and our eyes on the next ad, err, video. But creating short form videos from long format videos takes time. Going through and editing down every bit of profound short video used to take hours. But the ever present question now is, can AI do this? Ibrahim Mohmed founded Taja.ai to solve this problem. A problem he was having with his marketing agency. After building out Taja with his partner, he now offers a robust and useful platform to create video shorts, along with many other useful bits of content, in minutes, rather than hours. Best of all, they aren't your minutes, the computer does the work and you can do other things. Listen as Ibrahim explains how the idea for Taja.ai came to him and his partner, how they built it, what they have learned and how they are continuously working on improving it. Enjoy! Visit Ibrahim at Taja.ai On Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/growwithtaja/ Podcast Overview: 00:00 "Taj's AI-Driven Transformation Journey" 06:23 "Transitioning to Software Products" 08:25 "Emotional Creative Entrepreneurs" 11:37 "Shifting Focus: Diversifying Platforms" 16:29 "Becoming an Authentic Influencer" 17:23 Maximizing Watch Time for Platforms 23:25 College Connection Sparks Startup Venture 24:14 ChatGPT's Role in Agency Launch 29:43 Content Creation Tools and Scheduling 33:35 Streamlined Video Content Expansion 36:19 Improving AI-Generated Video Shorts 39:31 Automated Video and Blog Creation 42:06 "Video-Based System Advantage" Podcast Transcription: Ibrahim Mohmed [00:00:00]: The first thing is these algorithms care about watch time more than anything. And what watch time is essentially how long is someone watching your piece of content? And if the. The higher the watch time of your content is, the higher the algorithm will pick it up and showcase it to more people. Because it's signaling to the algorithm that as a result of your video, people are staying on the platform longer. And so as a result, these platforms can serve more ads, these people, and then that platforms make more money as a result. So watch time is huge.

We create shorts with this software. So we're talking about, or talking to the founder of a guy that's you, that created a product that we're actually using. So that's kind of monumental in our world. So I'm excited. So, Ibrahim, how is it going today? Ibrahim Mohmed [00:01:37]: No, thanks for having me on. Yeah, I'm happy to hear that you guys are using Taj actively. And my day's going well. Weeks going well. It's crazy that we're in September, but mid September, that is.
