Real Money Talks

Steve Lemus has worked with Live Out Loud for the last five years. He finished the course Graphics and Journalism from the University of Nevada, Reno and currently plays a vital role in my live events as he makes sure that the audio and visual aspects of our productions are top notch.

Today, Steve talks about the basics of audio-visual production. He names some great brands he prefers to use for simple events of 100 people or less and the different scenarios when using hotel sound versus bringing your own equipment. He also provides some helpful tips on the equipment you need and the things you need to do once you know the location of your event.

“You really have to immerse yourself in the environment and just really get into it and sync with it.” - Steve Lemus

Are you an investor who’s looking for new ways to invest your money? Do you want to be known as one of the wise investors and not merely someone who makes money because of your high income? Do you want to know about the trend that is going to astound traditional banking and investment players?

In today’s episode, I talk about a way to make money and invest it with a team. This method is called equity crowdfunding. I explain the difference between donor crowdfunding and equity crowdfunding. I also explain what makes equity crowdfunding so attractive to investors and how it minimizes risks to investors through blended returns.

In real estate, equity crowdfunding is a way that consumers get to get to another consumer and not go through the financial institutes.

In This Episode of Real Money Talks: 

• Defining what a donor crowdfunding platform is
• Explaining equity crowdfunding
• List of some companies who do equity crowdfunding
• The big debate in the investors’ community about crowdfunding
• Reasons why being a high-income earner does not mean you’re a smart investor
• Top 25 Crowdfunding Platforms and its benefits to investors

What comes to your mind when you hear the word “cannabis”? Some associate it with words such as “prohibited” and “unlawful,” while others choose to look at the positive medical effects that this plant brings. Aside from what others claim as favorable medical results that cannabis produces, there are those who see this as a gold rush to the finish line.

In today’s episode, I talk about a very contentious conversation and a controversial investment about the cannabis business and share matters that would require an enormous amount of work in the marijuana industry should the legalization of this plant be approved in 2020. I discuss some questions that should be addressed in making marijuana legal concerning the legal side, ethical standpoint, and business outlook.

Tending plants is one thing. Nurturing an enterprise so that it can thrive, especially with the risk factors of the product and the business is an interesting and very critically untapped documented business.

In This Episode of Real Money Talks: 

• Who the cannabis experts are but without the capital to establish their business
• Three divisions of growth enterprises: lead generate, production, customers
• An approximation on the capital of and estimated profit in the cannabis business
• Doctors prescribing medical marijuana
• Amount of compliance at the local level if the prediction that medical marijuana would be legalized by the year 2020 happens

If you are an investor, especially if you’re a first-time investor, you probably have looked into your options. One of the choices you may have considered is being a shareholder of a company. Owning some shares of a company is also known as equity. Before jumping into any decision, it is best to know the pros and cons of your choices. Don't just go with the flow because most people want equity. Is equity the best possible course of action for you?

In today’s episode, I talk about the difference between equity and debt. I also discuss why I love being the “bank.” I also discuss why being in the lender position puts you in a more advantageous position than owning a share of the company. Being the bank is the smart and conservative way to invest. It’s not difficult to protect your assets. Let me show you how.

Debt trumps equity all the time.

In This Episode of Real Money Talks: 

• Defining equity
• Explaining convertible notes
• Benefits of being in the debt position
