  • 2266 FBF: Improve Your Negotiating Skills with Stuart Diamond Author of ‘Getting More: How to Negotiate to Achieve Your Goals’
    Jan 31 2025

    This Flashback Friday is from episode 247, published last March 8, 2012.

    Whether you’re trying to get a raise at your job, solve a relationship problem, or deal with a stubborn child, negotiating is a daily part of our lives, and every human interaction is affected by emotion and logic or rationalization. Jason Hartman interviews Stuart Diamond, the author of "Getting More: How to Negotiate to Achieve Your Goals in the Real World" on improving negotiating skills and interactions with others in order to “get more.” Stuart stresses the importance of making the human connection and finding the pictures in people’s heads, knowing them better in order to better meet their needs, which gives a person a more competitive edge and adds tremendous wealth to any deal.

    Emotions play a huge part in all interactions. “Emotions destroy negotiations because they distract people from their goals,” says Stuart. When people get emotional, they stop listening, and it becomes a priority to find out a person’s emotional temperature before proceeding on any deal. Stuart talks about key points in how people should treat one another, stating how people today have a lack of trust in one another and have a tendency to demonize one another rather than using simple solutions to solve conflicts. “Fighting is the last choice; not the first choice,” explains Stuart.

    Stuart Diamond has taught and advised on negotiation and cultural diversity to corporate and government leaders in more than 40 countries, including in Eastern Europe, former Soviet Republics, China, Latin America, the Middle East, Canada, South Africa and the United States. He holds an M.B.A. with honors from Wharton Business School, ranked #1 globally by The Financial Times where he is currently a professor from practice. For more than 90% of the semesters over the past 15 years his negotiation course has been the most popular in the school based on the course auction, and he has won multiple teaching awards. He has taught negotiation at Harvard Law School, from which he holds a law degree and is a former Associate Director of the Harvard Negotiation Project. He has directed a negotiation consulting firm in Cambridge, MA.

  • 2265: The Hartman Risk Evaluator: Smart Investing in Packaged Commodities and Why Real Estate is the Best Hedge Against Inflation
    Jan 29 2025

    Jason invites you all to Empowered Investor LIVE this coming April for a great time of learning and fun! Get early bird rates today! https://empoweredinvestorlive.com/

    Given the recent tragedies in Los Angeles, North Carolina, Florida and others, and thus the tremendous need to build new houses across the country, Jason wanted to discusses the Hartman Risk Evaluator and the importance of packaged commodities investing for real estate investors.

    The Hartman Risk Evaluator highlights the benefits of investing in real estate as a means of gaining exposure to commodities, which have intrinsic value. Unlike fiat currencies that depreciate over time, commodities such as lumber, drywall, concrete, steel, and petroleum-based products are essential and globally traded.

    Rather than investing directly in raw commodities, real estate investors can leverage fixed-rate financing, tax benefits, and appreciation by purchasing "packaged commodities" in the form of homes and apartments. Rising costs of construction materials, driven by supply chain issues and inflation, further support real estate as a strong hedge against currency devaluation.

    The Hartman Risk Evaluator helps investors minimize downside risk by focusing on markets where the land-to-improvement ratio is lower, meaning more of the investment is in tangible commodities rather than volatile land values. Linear markets, characterized by stable appreciation and landlord-friendly laws, offer the best long-term returns, as opposed to risky cyclical markets with boom-and-bust cycles.

    Ultimately, investing in packaged commodities via real estate provides a safeguard against inflation while capitalizing on the global demand for essential building materials.

  • 2263 FBF: American Demography from Baby Boomers to Generation Y with Ken Gronbach Author of ‘Age Curve’
    Jan 24 2025

    This Flashback Friday is from episode 249 published last March 20, 2012.

    Many demographic changes are taking place, with the Baby Boomers, a large generation, retiring, and Generation Y, a larger generation than the Baby Boomers, consuming at record levels. Join Jason Hartman and demographer, Ken Gronbach, as they discuss this upcoming “storm.”

    Ken describes Generation Y as an exciting generation, where the United States is the only country with this large of a group at the present time, and that it is very important that businesses recognize and anticipate their markets as Generation Y grows up. Generation X is more of a mystery generation because of its smaller size, which makes it less of a valuable market. Ken believes that the United States’ best days are ahead as people bail out of the European Union. He also believes that China’s economic future is bleak due to artificial tampering with the population, with demographic numbers showing China in trouble economically within ten years, struggling to feed themselves within 15 years.

    Ken shows how the housing market is being held hostage by big bank foreclosures and why this log jam will soon correct and precipitate a restoration of the United States economy. Ken also talks about how manufacturing will return to the United States with a vengeance because the United States is the only industrialized nation with a huge young highly skilled workforce.
