Taking Flight, Chapter 59: They Are Here, Part 4

Just outside the house, the others patiently wait for an update from the away team. Melony is tending to an anxious Shroomy while FM, Mario, and Meggy play a game of Cards.

FM: Got any threes?

Meggy: Go Fish. How about you, Red?

Mario: *mental windows startup noises*

Their game is interrupted when what can best be described as the LIGHT OF GOD erupts out of the second floor wall. The beam streaks across the sky, clips an airliner by the wing, passes over the Showgrounds, and lands directly onto Bowser's new Airship.

Bowser: Oh for God's sake, I JUST PAID THAT OFF!

The light fades and reveals a smoldering hole in the top floor. Inside, we see the smoldering remnants of the monster sizzle away into dust, leaving Tari and the Anti Spook Squad victorious. Tari falls onto her knees as she tries to get her bearings. Channeling all that energy into the gun has left her rather winded. She feels a large hand pull her back up to her feet.

Heavy: Little girl is credit to team!

Tari: Oh, um, thanks. It was nothing really.

Soldier pulls himself back up and dusts off some ascendant ash from his coat. He peers out of the blast hole and down to the rest of the group below, all of which are still rather shocked apart from Mario who holds up a random three of clubs.

Mario: UNO!

Bob's head peaks out of the stairwell.

Bob: Hey guys, did you find anything- holy s*** what the hell happened up here?

He comes up to see the massive hole, Tari being all wobbly, and Engi square dancing because why not.

Bob: Well, call everybody inside and get downstairs. Crabcakes found something in the basement. Something BIG.

The whole crew makes their way down the damp and chilly stairway. Shroomy is still shaking as he keeps his shotgun at the ready. At the bottom they see Lykoa waiting for them in what appears to be an underwater garage, complete with a small submarine docked above a moon pool.

FM: *whistles* Joe seriously spared no expense on this place, did he?

Lykoa: Here, friends.

Tari and Melony follow him into a room on the north side, with the Squad following closely behind. The sight was........ a sight, tp be sure. The room itself was made of polished black stone, and at its center was a large apparatus of rings within rings holding crystaline lenses. Bob is the next to arrive on the scene.

Bob: So, any ideas as to what all this is?

To the side of the room was a mass of green crystal cubes radiating with an emerald glow. Melony notices a note stuck to the pile.

Melony: Hm........ "Remember to say hi to your uncle for me. Safe travels...... Dad." Mr. Boopkins built this place?

Tari approaches the green mass. She could feel the immense energy radiating from its interconnecting facets.

Tari: What is this stuff?

Lykoa plucks a cube from the mass with the upmost care.

Lykoa: Ionic Crystals. It is said that a single one of these cubes contains enough energy to power a large Ketch........ and reduce a small moon to ash.

Tari: But why would Boopkins need...... ANY of this?

Boopkins: And how the hell did Joe even afford this crap?

Tari approaches the mechanism at the room's center. Whatever it was, there didn't seem to be any way of controlling this thing as far as she could tell. There did seem to be a point of power here, though. She pulls the Compass from her pocket. It began to hum and glow as she fiddled with the dials and pearls, until the lever on its side flicks out with an audible click. She takes a few steps back before facing the Compass forward....... and clicks the lever. A spectrum of light appears before her as an interweaving lattice of beams forms into a solid disc with an incandescent sheen. She looks back to see the others gathering behind her.

Tari: Only one way to find out.

Tari is the first to emerge on the other side of the portal. The rest follow suit as they all find themselves on a long black stone bridge. A monolithic triangular fortress stood before them, indescribably ancient and disturbingly titanic. Infernal patterns dotted its surface, seeming to almost glow beneath the two black suns hanging above in a caustic yellow sky.

Mario: Oooooooh nooooooo.

Spy: MY *sips wine* GOD.

Soldier: Sweet land of liberty.

Heavy: Heavy cannot believe eyes! Oh, this is bad!

Engi: ..........Cute.

The sense of dread was as pure and potent as sunshine soaking through your skin. Every instinct told Tari to run and not look back for the sake of her sanity, yet she finds herself petrified by the malefic sight before her. It's only when she notices Bob marching towards the citadel that she snaps out of her daze.

Tari: Bob!? What the hell are you doing!?

He looks back to the others. His gaze was as cold as steel.

Bob: I didn't come all this way just to s*** my pants and run.

Mario: You must be coo coo crazy!

Bob: Nobody asked for your opinion, Mario! If you're all too pissy to go forward, the door is right there.

He racks back the charging handle on his SMG.

Bob: My best friend is in there, and I'll turn this whole place inside out to get him back. Either help me or stay out of my way. I don't care.

His words rang true to Tari. This isn't just about fighting aliens and saving the world. It's about helping a friend in need. The oppressive atmosphere of this place suddenly had no sway over.

Tari: Bob is right. We didn't come all this way just to give up, now. These invaders made a big mistake coming into our home and taking our friends!

The sense of dread slowly receded from the crowd, giving way to a collective sense of determination as everybody readies their weapons and Engi brings out the Sniper from earlier. Again, we don't question it.

Sniper: Apples.

Tari looks back to Bob, and they both share a nod as she draws her glaive.

Tari: Let's get in there, and teach these freaks you don't mess with Earth!

The crowd roars into a frenzy as Tari charges forth.

Tari: LET'S DO THIS!!!!

And so the whole group charges across the monolithic bridge and towards the fortress. A chorus of valiant battle cries echo through the air like am anthem of war and determination as they charge forwards!

Tari: HANG ON BOOPKINS, WE'RE COMING!!!!

FM: OOH RAH!

Bob: LET'S POP SOME CAPS!

Melony: HYLIA IS WITH US!

Kaizo: YOSSHA IKU ZO!

Meggy: SPLETZER GOES FOR THE KNOCKOUT!

Jub Jub: JUB JUB!

Shroomy: RIP AND TEAR!

Mario: LET'S A F***ING GO!!!!

Lykoa: THE LIGHT PROVIDES!

Soldier: SCREAMING EAGLES!

Heavy: RAAAAAAAAH!!!!

Spy: FOR FRANCE!

Engi: YEEEEEEEEY!!!!

Sniper: Apples.

They come charging into the fortress, ready to fight whatever invaders may come their way. They storm through the monolithic halls until they come to a cavernous throne room. Atop the throne sat a titanic being clad in golden cloths, a pallid visage tilting down to see the defiant army that stood before the throne. Tari raises her Glaive to the figure with a defiant smirk and a fire in her eyes.

Tari: Listen here, creep! Either give us back our friend and leave our world alone, or face the might of humanity!

Lykoa: And Eliksni!

Shroomy: Don't forget the Mushrooms

Kaizo: And demons!

Bob: Yeah! Kiss my black Garo ass!

The figure examined the crowd before him. His voice echoed through the halls as he spoke.

??????: F I S H Y.

A door slides open on the side, and a friendly face comes into the room.

??????: Y O U R F R I E N D S A R E H E R E T O S E E Y O U.

Bob: BOOPKINS!

He immediately rushes to his little green friend.

Bob: THANK GOD YOU'RE OKAY!

Boopkins: What are you guys talking about? And who are those guys?

He points to the Anti Spook Squad.

Soldier: We are here to crap ass!

Engi: Yeah!

Tari: We're here to save you from the aliens!

Bob: Did the aliens hurt you!? Did they probe you!? I swear to God, if they probed my best friend!

Boopkins: Aliens?.........

Meggy: Yeah! We told their leader to either give you back or get their ass kicked.

She points to the figure on the throne. That's when it clicked for Boopkins.

Boopkins: You mean my Uncle Hastur?

Hastur: S U P?

A wave of confusion washes over the crowd.

Tari: That's.......your UNCLE?

Boopkins: Yeah! Come on, I'll introduce you to the other relatives! The family reunion is just getting started!

The surprise revelation hit everybody like a truck.

Everyone: RELATIVES!?

Sniper: Apples.

11:59 AM EDT July 3, 2024:

Wilde Flowers - "Just Where I Want" From the album The Wilde Flowers (1994)

Last song scrobbled from iTunes at Last.fm

So The Wilde Flowers were sort of the Canterbury ur-Group. Before making it big in Caravan or The Soft Machine, Robert Wyatt, Mike Ratledge, Hugh Hopper, Pye Hastings, Kevin Ayers, Richard Sinclair and others all played with The Wilde Flowers.

But their music remaineed unreleased until 1994, when Brian Hopper curated this compilation, which has since been reissued.

So encyclopedists and completists rejoiced. But here's the thing: the music's not that good. Far from being anything Canterbury, or prog, or psychedelic or even somewhat jazzy, this is primitive, even tribal, garage rock. One song sort of has a Bolton Iron Maiden feel, so a little heavy and OK, and another tune is Robert Wyatt solo at the piano, but even Jet Propelled Photographs, the early Gomelsky stuff, is light years beyond this.

This stuff will work when slipped in among my shuffled music as a curiosity and a topic of conversation, like, wow, look how much better these people got in just four years, but I really can't imagine listening to the album straight through again.

Final Fantasy VII Remake Advent Calendar — Dec. 22

Here we go — the climb up the Sector 7 wall was a prelude, but the Shinra Building is the final dungeon proper and consumes three entire chapters of an eighteen chapter game.

Cloud and company emerge onto the catwalks before the building. Security is tight, and Barret suggests a suicidal charge straight through the front. Cloud spies a rear entrance and the party slips aboard a cargo truck that slipped into the parking garage. They carve their way through the security in the garage and head up to ground level.

In the lobby the group is immediately stymied by doors requiring keycards. Cloud spies one in the reception desk — which is currently closed off by a force field except through the top. Tifa leaps and monkey-bars her way over to it and secures the card.

I went up the elevator, incurring a few combat encounters and a scene where Tifa watches a man who calls his mother to find somewhere safe given the danger in the city over the last few days. The group also scares a woman half to death.

The elevator lets out at floor 59 — six shy of Hojo's laboratory on floor 65. The group signs up for a self-guided tour up the next few floors. Floor 60 is a museum extolling the virtues of Shinra and displays images and exhibits about the various departments and the president.

Meanwhile, in a series of asides, we are introduced to the unfolding intrigue of Shinra. Scarlet, the domineering head of Shinra's Advanced Weaponry Development, is in the midst of overseeing the development of new materia when an experiment goes wrong. Hojo of the Research Division menaces Aerith. Reeve Tuesti, the head of Urban Development, displays his distaste for Shinra following the collapse of Sector 7. President Shinra and Heidegger of Public Security discuss their PR narrative tying the troubles in the city to AVALANCHE and further out to Wutai.

And finally, Palmer of the Space Program is enjoying a cup of tea in the hall when he is passed by a familiar man in a black cloak...

Cloud and company watch a video presentation discussing Shinra and their view of the Ancients, who apocryphally sought a "Promised Land". Shinra believes it is a place rich with mako energy. As the presentation wraps up, it glitches out to reveal—

A meteor hangs apocalyptically over Midgar, windstorms and tornados buffeting the town. People flee in terror.

And Sephiroth appears once more to menace Cloud.

The presentation wraps up and a man opens the door. His name is Hart and he leads the party up into the archives at the behest of the Mayor of Midgar, Domino. He reveals: He is AVALANCHE's man on the inside and has been hiding the party from the wider Shinra security intranet — and he can get the party up to the next couple floors, updating their keycard and pointing them towards another collaborator who will provide another keycard, should they respond with the proper countersign — "The Mayor is the best."

So they head up into the employee recreational area and find the collaborator beside the Shinra VR simulator. He tells them to fight a simulated fight in order to get the keycard which is definitely not the devs realizing there hasn't been a fight in like twenty or thirty minutes depending on if you chose the elevator or the emergency staircase.

You can stick around and fight for some armor and Gil Up and Exp Up materia. I did so and it took like an hour or so?

Cloud heads back to the stairs and is interrupted by a pair of infantrymen. One of them prepares to call intruders but the other says, no, this is Cloud, my old buddy from basic training. Cloud grasps his forehead in pain. The infantryman says wait here and he'll go grab Kunsel (applause from the Crisis Core players in the audience for mention of a side character).

Tifa shows concern and Cloud brushes it aside and sets off for the stairs.

My #1 post of 2022

@xxtc-96xx finally got me to draw babytwos guys. To be fair, when I found out Newts new twins are also named Lilac and Lavender, I had to draw them with my trainersonas.

the Bluegum twins would be very excited to meet some babytwos.

THANK YOU FOR LOVING ME a julie molina x luke patterson canon-compliant fic series based on the 100 ways to say ‘i love you’ prompts

all chapters are over 600 words and set in the canon-verse, taking place either during season one or after it. while not directly connected, most fics can be read as being in the same universe, with some details or the timeline being a little off at times. updates tend to be daily, at 5pm uk time (earlier than that on ao3).

you can also find the complete series on archive of our own, or under this tag.

links to the tumblr versions of the chapters are below the line.

100 ways to say ‘I love you’:

1. You are beautiful. Luke comes to give Julie words of encouragement before the garage concert.

2. I love your smile. Julie and Luke have a songwriting session, shortly after the events of the finale.

3. Here, let me get that for you. Julie and Luke go shopping. Set between Luke's birthday and the finale.

4. I love seeing you wake up in the morning. Julie wakes up in the garage/studio, with only Luke around. Takes place at around the same time as their songwriting session from drabble two. 5. You are amazing. Julie is ensuring her home doesn't erupt into chaos, and Luke can't get enough of seeing her do it. Set at some point after the finale. 6. I love (this) about you: Dealing with the first anniversary of her mum's death is hard for Julie. Thankfully, Luke's here to make things easier. 7. Stay safe. Text me when you get there. Flynn takes Julie on a trip, and Luke wants to let her know he's there if he needs her. Set at some point after the finale. 8. I love when you do (this): Luke's got an idea for their next big performance. Set shortly after the finale. 9. I think you’re beautiful when: Julie has her final performance of the year. Set at some point after the finale. 10. You’re too good for me. Luke and Julie talk about a quote from a tv series they're watching. Set further post canon, established relationship. 11. I don’t deserve you. Luke crashes a Molina siblings baking session, to everybody's delight. Set at some point before the finale. 12. I care about you. While making a setlist for the Orpheum concert, Luke notices a certain doodle of a birthday cake on Julie's microphone. 13. Don’t put yourself down like that. A few days after being saved by Julie, Luke is thinking about a relationship he'll never get to save. Set almost immediately after the finale.

14. I adore you. Luke wakes up next to Julie. Established Jukebox. 15. I can’t stop thinking about you. Luke and Julie talk through some things after an argument. Set at some point after the finale. 16. Seeing you makes me smile. Morning after the Orpheum, Julie can't find the boys (even if just for a moment). Set between the group hug and Nick's possession scene. 17. I need you by my side. Julie has a dream about Luke. Set before Julie goes to the Pattersons in Unsaid Emily. 18. I’m thankful for you. Luke is helping Julie work on a piano piece for school. Set at some point before the finale.

19. You make me a better person. Luke has thoughts after his and Julie's conversation about their songwriting. Set during Edge of Great, 1x07. 20. You complete me. 21. Have a good day at work! 22. You’re the light of my life. 23. Seeing you makes my day. 24. I get butterflies every time we talk. 25. I’m so lucky to have you; I don’t know how I got so lucky. 26. You set my heart on fire. 27. I’ll walk you home. 28. I love to make you happy. 29. You’re my soulmate. 30. You’re my best friend. 31. I can’t wait to see you (again). 32. You mean the world to me. 33. You’re my rock. 34. I value you. 35. I want to spend the rest of my life with you. 36. I love being around you. 37. Pull over and let me drive some. 38. Take my jacket, it’s cold outside. 39. I want you. 40. You complete me. 41. You’re my happiness. 42. Do you need anything? 43. I want to hold your hand and never let go. 44. You’re the only one for me. 45. You are my heaven on earth. 46. Every time I look at you I fall in love all over again. 47. Drive safe. 48. I don’t know what I’d do without you. 49. Forever isn’t too long, because I know I’ll be with you. 50. I’d rather argue with you than kiss someone else. 51. You look great today. 52. I love that _______ on you. 53. You look cute when you push your glasses up. 54. I’ll always be here; I’m here for you. 55. My heart hurts when you’re not around. 56. I can’t think of what my life would be like without you. 57. We’re perfect for each other. 58.

I feel so lucky to have you. 70. I’ll never let you go; I’ll never want to. 71. I hope this moment never ends. 72. You leave me breathless. 73. I’d do anything for you. 74. Seeing you happy makes me happy. 75. I’m sorry for hurting your feelings. 76. You always find a way to make me smile. 77. I can’t put what I feel for you into words; it’s too great. 78. I still get jealous even though I know you’re mine. 79. I’m listening to you. 80. I made this for you, I know it’s your favorite. 81. I’m excited and nervous for tonight with you. 82. I got you your favorite candy. 83. I’ll always care about you. 84. I made you breakfast. 85. I can never stay mad at you. 86. I love your eyes; they’re gorgeous. 87. I love that outfit on you. 88. You look so cute. 89. You’re the highlight of my day. 90. How’d you sleep? 91. Your smile makes my heart go crazy. 92. I hate seeing you cry. 93. It’s my job to make you happy. 94.

91 Quotes I Enjoyed From 2020

Below are my favorite quotes from 2020. Though most occurred throughout the year, some took place before but were encountered during.

1) “You don’t have to be new to make new.” - Rick Rubin

2) “He put the beat on and go to sleep then wake up with a verse.” - The Lox

3) “Every opinion is bad.” - Blink-155

(via Twitter)

5) “At the start of every disaster movie, there’s a scientist being ignored.”

6) “Be brave enough to suck at something new.”

7) “Comedy is the only job you can have where you can use everything you know” - Robin Williams via Dave Chappelle

8) “What’s the worst swear word where you live?” - Josiah Hughes

9) “Cookies are a really great way to get everybody to like you for a short period of time” - YSAC

10) “The worst dancer at a wedding is the one who’s not dancing.” - John Mulaney

11) “I never saw the end of the tunnel. I only saw myself running out of one." - Kobe Bryant

12) "A good movie begins as you're walking out of the theater" - Ethan Hawke

13) “When I was young and starting in cinema, there was a saying that I carved deep into my heart which is, 'The most personal is the most creative.’ That quote was from our great Martin Scorsese.” - Bong Joon-ho

14) “Run to the rescue with love, and peace will follow” - River Phoenix via Joaquin Phoenix

15) “Thank you -- I will drink until next morning.” - Bong Joon-ho

16) “Men will bury their emotions for decades and then take it all out on children tubing while they drive the boat.” - @krauter_

17) “They help you with the dumb face stuff, but they don’t tell you how to fix it” - Adam (Nate’s friend), on having older sisters

18) “We all had our connections, but it’s not the details themselves that matter, it’s the feeling behind them. There are a million coming-of-age tales. Lady Bird’s secret sauce is how deeply its creator gave a shit. The older I get, the less I care about anything but the sense of a filmmaker’s personal connection to the material. It doesn’t matter what it’s about, what genre it is, or whether it’s genre at all. I only really care that it feels like something the filmmaker had to tell me, and that it was that filmmaker in particular who had to tell it. It has to answer the ‘why are you telling me this’ question, and not just why are you telling me, but why are you telling me.

Lady Bird is a movie that feels like only Greta Gerwig could’ve made. And it’s only because it’s so specific to her that it can be so meaningful to so many people.” - Vince Mancini

20) “Ever hear a Beatles song you haven’t heard before?”

21) “Drinking is an emotional thing. It joggles you out of the standardism of everyday life, out of everything being the same. It yanks you out of your body and your mind and throws you against the wall. I have the feeling that drinking is a form of suicide where you're allowed to return to life and begin all over the next day. It's like killing yourself, and then you're reborn. I guess I've lived about ten or fifteen thousand lives now.” - Charles Bukowski

25) "Taken together, this is a massive failure in leadership that stems from a massive defect in character. Trump is such a habitual liar that he is incapable of being honest, even when being honest would serve his interests. He is so impulsive, shortsighted, and undisciplined that he is unable to plan or even think beyond the moment. He is such a divisive and polarizing figure that he long ago lost the ability to unite the nation under any circumstances and for any cause. And he is so narcissistic and unreflective that he is completely incapable of learning from his mistakes. The president’s disordered personality makes him as ill-equipped to deal with a crisis as any president has ever been. With few exceptions, what Trump has said is not just useless; it is downright injurious." - Peter Wehner

One afternoon, he’s the soundtrack as you clean the garage. On another night, he’s your bookmark for the game as you stand in line for churros or walk down the ramps at Sox Park to try for better seats in the 100 level. A voice like Farmer’s becomes so familiar that you only really notice when it’s no longer there.” - Kevin Kaduk, on the passing of Ed Farmer

420 Living Your Life By Design as an Investor - Interview with Chase Maher

https://moneyripples.com/2020/09/08/420-living-your-life-by-design-as-an-investor-interview-with-chase-maher/

Today, Chris Miles talks with Chase Maher. He started real estate investing in 2008, which is the time that everyone was running away from it. Chase ran towards it instead and was born out of the fire.

Chase also does wholesale, house flipping, he is an entrepreneur, and he is an investor.

So today, what we want to know is how can someone like Chase Maher who is into all these businesses, still have a life outside of it as well? And that’s the important part.

Listen to our Podcast here:

https://www.blogtalkradio.com/moneyripples/2020/07/24/420--living-your-life-by-design-as-an-investor--interview-with-chase-maher

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

And so guys, I’m proud to be a part of this group. To be a Rippler with you because man, I love what you guys are up to. I love hearing about the good that you’re up to. The results you’re creating, but I love also the fact that you guys are bingeing and sharing the show too. So I appreciate that so much.

It’ll take you like 15 minutes, but check that out as well as the other blogs that are being uploaded as well.

Chris Miles (01:22): Alright! Today, I’ve got a special guest here. Chase Maher. Now, Chase, you know, interesting thing with him, is that not only he is a podcast host, which I definitely recommend you guys go check out his show, but the thing that’s so cool about Chase is that he’s a real estate investor doing the very things. And he was born at a fire. Like he started investing in 2008, when everybody was saying run, he was running towards the fire. Right? So, I mean, Chase started doing real estate investing. He does things with San Diego. In Tucson. And even out East as well. And so he does wholesaling, fixing, flipping. He’s an entrepreneur and investor all together wrapped in one. And that’s primarily why I wanted to bring him on here today because you know what, how is it that someone can actually have a business. Like what he does, but still have a lifestyle. Just like we talked about in the show, right? It’s not just about making a lot of money. It’s about having a life too. And that’s the main thing I want to talk about to Chase about today. So, Chase, welcome to our show!

Chase Maher (02:17): Chris man. Thanks for having me. I’m excited. Just had you on my show. So a little swap here, man, and you dropped a lot of value, so hopefully I can return the favor.

Chris Miles (02:26): I guarantee it, man. Like I can already tell just from our conversation, that’s going to be easy, you know.

Chase Maher (02:30): For sure.

Chris Miles (02:31): So give us some background, like what even led you down that path. I mean, of all the things you could have done, why would you want to go and be crazy Investing real estate when everybody else said run, right?

Chase Maher (02:40): Yeah. Well, you know, I wish I waited two years and started in 2010, but Hey, I started in 2008. I’ll tell you the story. It’s actually pretty good. So I’m 30 years old now. I live in San Diego. And I grew up in Virginia Beach, Virginia and I grew up in the car dealership. My parents owned a couple car dealerships. I grew up, I learned the sales, used to pick-up cigarette butts, then wash the cars. Then I went to the auctions and eventually just kind of ran the show, working full time through college. And I always had discipline with money. I always had that entrepreneurial mindset where, you know, my dad taught me, put it away, put it away. I started buying gold when I was like 14 years old and, I had that mindset, but I never knew anything about real estate. My parents weren’t real estate investors. And when I was 18 moving out of my freshmen dorm and I saw like a lot of my buddies were going to go kinda split a house rental near our college, old dominion university, shout out to the monarchs. And I was like, man, I got like 25 grand in the bank. Why don’t I just like take 20K of that and go buy a house?

Chase Maher (03:45): And so I called up a real estate agent that I knew and I went and bought a house and I had no idea what I was doing. I did not know that we needed to check the market. I didn’t know the world was on fire with mortgages. I bought it June, 2008 and I basically house hacked it with buddies before house hacking was even like a buzzword. I rented out each bedrooms, four bedroom house. I rented out each bedroom for 500 bucks. Rented out the garage for 600 bucks. Covered my mortgage. Covered all my utilities and all throughout college, I lived rent-free, but you know, by July or by June, 2009, the house lost like 35% in value. But Hey, it recovered. I still have it to this day. And it’s a really good cash flow machine for me. And you know, after a couple of years I said, why don’t I do it again? And again, and again, and fast forward to now I live in San Diego. I fix and flip. I wholesale. I do some Realty stuff here and there. And I’m still invested in properties.

Chris Miles (04:37): Well, yeah, I think the cool thing that you did, whether you knew it or not, is that you still focused on the cash flow part, right? That’s the mistake I made during the last recession. I was buying property. So I thought, well, man, like if I can buy a hundred thousand property and appreciates 10%, that’s 10,000 bucks. But if you buy a 500,000 property, 10%, that’s 50,000. So let’s go big or go home. Right. And then I was like, no, I’m going home. You know, it was pretty bad, but I mean, you still, at least had roommates go into there. Or even after you probably moved out, you probably saw students in there paying rent. So even if it lost value, you were still getting paid.

Chase Maher (05:12): Yeah, absolutely. You know, the only appreciation that I bank on is forced appreciation. So, I don’t factor in any of my underwriting. Hey, hopefully the property value goes up 3% or 5% or here in San Diego sometimes 10% in the year, 2015, we went up like 20% in one year. So what I mean by that is forced appreciation. So actively figuring out ways that when I buy it, how can I increase the value of it by 10% 20% 30% within a 12 month period? Refinancing, getting my money back, redeploying it.

Chris Miles (05:42): I like that because you want to play it safe. Cause you’re not trying to bank on appreciation. You’re trying to bank on we’re going to do that actually, control the variables, right? Control the values versus just hoping that the values hold or whatever it might be.

Chase Maher (05:53): Yeah. I take the risk with my business and I play it safe with my investments. That’s kind of my philosophy.

Chris Miles (05:59): That’s great! I love it! So tell us more about that. Like, I mean you’re only 30, right?

Chase Maher (06:04): Yeah. I’m thirty.

Chris Miles (06:04): I mean, most people.

Chase Maher (06:06): Thanks for using the only!

Chris Miles (06:09): Yeah. I know. Coming from a guy who’s almost 13 years older than you. Yeah. So, you know, like for me it’s like, that’s incredible because when I was 30, I was trying to dig myself out of a hole. Right. Like I was going through the recession, you know, but I mean, you, I mean, you’ve actually been doing this, like you said, since you were 18 years old, you know, and again, it’s not something you just started doing a couple like three years ago. Like I always laugh with people that come by. They’re like, Oh yeah, I’m successful. I’ve been doing this for three years. And like, you haven’t seen anything yet. You know? So I mean, that being said, like, what do you feel is like been kind of a secret of success for you both, whether it be for your business and or even with your investing too?

Chase Maher (06:44): Yeah, man! I think discipline is like the most important thing. And just figuring out what’s your longterm goal, your longterm strategy and sort of reverse engineering it from there and it doesn’t have to be perfect. So if anybody’s out there and they’re listening, you’re trying to out like, what’s your life goals? What do you want to do? It doesn’t have to be perfect. Imperfect action is better than taking no action. So when I was 18, I bought that property. I thought to myself, man, you know, I’m going to school with some kids that are trust fund babies. They’re inheriting a bunch of money and they’re kind of blowing it and they’re blowing it because they don’t know what to do with it.

Chase Maher (07:18): And they don’t have any sort of education around it. So I started studying money and I didn’t inherit any crazy amount of money. I didn’t inherit anything. And I told myself, I want to be educated with money. I want to make sure that this mistake of a house that I just bought that, you know, fast forward, it’s not a mistake now, but at the time, imagine 12 months after you buy it. And the value is down 30%. You’re like, crap. What did I do? So that caused me to study markets that caused me to study, you know, market philosophy and what’s kinda going on. And like I said, I didn’t inherit any money. I wanted to be able to pass down money generations below me. I wanted to be that first one that when I have a great, great grandchild, they look at me and they think that’s the one that changed the path for our family forever.

Chase Maher (08:04): But I wanted to do it in a way that they were educated and they knew how to handle the funds that I passed down to them, the assets that I pass down to them so that they stay in families forever. You think about some of the wealthiest people in the world, the Rothschilds and a few others. It’s a family. And they run that family like a business. And I wanted to instill that. So I started studying the markets, studying books, listening to podcasts and just making the right decisions along the way. And like anything, those decisions compounded over time.

Chris Miles (08:31): That’s right. That’s like what? My, one of my old buddies, well, my old partners wrote the book. What would the Rockefellers do? Right. And it’s a big point, you know, it’s what can you actually pass on? And it goes beyond it really you’re creating your own ripple effect, right? Yeah. Not just for the people that you come in contact with, but really, I think one of the biggest ripple effects you could ever create is through your own family, creating that legacy.

Chase Maher (08:52): I couldn’t agree more.

Chris Miles (08:53): And the cool thing is too. I can already tell from what you said. You said it’s not just passing down the money, is it?

Chase Maher (08:59): No, it’s passing down the assets. So my philosophy is active income versus passive income. And so I like being an entrepreneur. I love being an entrepreneur. I haven’t had a job since high school. I really enjoy it. I’ve done a bunch of different things. So anybody that’s listening, if you think, Oh, here’s this 30 year old guy and he’s got it all figured out from 18 years old, that’s not true. From, you know, 18 to 22. I was selling cars and buying houses. And then from 22 to 26, I was kinda lost and just kind of living off my income from my assets. Blowing through my savings, traveling Southern California, you know, snowboarding, surfing all over the world. Kind of figuring out what I wanted to do. And then I ramped up the active income part again in my late twenties.

Chase Maher (09:43): And that instilled this like philosophy in me that if we can eliminate distractions and we can stay disciplined, we can have some strong, active income sources. We put it away, properly and passive income. And we live a lifestyle that is enjoyable to us. So I can do it for the long haul and not get burnt out. I saw my dad get burnt out when I was young and I saw him get overweight and get on healthy. And it, it made me think I don’t want that to happen to me. So I wrote down on paper, what’s important to me between health, wealth and relationships. And I just kind of live by that philosophy that if I’m not happy and I’m not able to do the things that I want to do, what the heck am I working this hard for anyways? So it’s really important to me. And I definitely, you know, I enjoy sharing that.

Chris Miles (10:29): There is a lot right there, man! Everybody, that’s a part you should probably go back and rewind a couple of times and re-listen to because there’s so many different tangents we could take with us. Right.

Chase Maher (10:39): Yeah. I know. Sometimes I’m valuable a little bit.

Chris Miles (10:39): Yeah. We can create like three shows that last comment you just made and we agreed create all these tangents from it. I think the thing that’s more valuable if I’m thinking from listener’s perspective here too is, youth aspects, right? I mean, one, I think will make a big point that you already said is, I love the clarity that you were having. Right? Like you’re writing this down. You’re saying, what is my life really about? And I think we even made this mentioned another time, you know, before we went on the air. Where that question of, you know, if money were no issue, what would you spend your time doing, right? Like kind of like, what do you want to be when you grow up? I know that there’s 60 and 70 year olds out there that have not asked this question with. What would I want to spend my time doing? Right? Like what would you do if you hit your financial goals? And what would that life look like? And it sounds like you really have to kind of create an architecture behind that life, didn’t you with that design?

Chase Maher (11:30): Absolutely. And it comes from repetition of constantly thinking over and over. And it, for anybody listening out there, if you like constantly have the same thought over and over, you should probably follow that instinct. And what I mean by if you’re constantly thinking I want to be in real estate, or if you’re constantly thinking, man, I want to be able to take a snowboard trip every year. Or if you’re constantly thinking, you know, I want live in this city, you should start crafting your lifestyle around, being able to do that. There’s a calling that you’re having that you should go after that. And I truly feel that the most depressed people in the world, they’re the ones that aren’t listening to that calling. They’re the ones that keep that thought in the back of their mind rather than in the front of their minds. So what that looks like to me is like purging out the things that, I’ll put it to you this way. There’s a lot of things that matter, but focus on the things that matter a lot.

Chase Maher (12:19): And what I mean by that is like, I would love to, you know, be a great golfer or a great tennis player or, you know, still play basketball twice a week. Like, you know, all these things. But what I love more is surfing. I love more is snowboarding. So I don’t waste any time, like trying to learn anything new. I just stay with what I know. I try to stay a fish when it comes to food. I’d love to learn how to cook this, this and this, but I just stay efficient because that mental space is better focused elsewhere. I’d rather go all in on the things that I know make me happy rather than trying to go discover a bunch of other thing. And the same applies with money. So that one core active income source and then pick a few streams of passive income for me, it’s hard assets and just stay focused and try not to lose sight of, you know, what you’ve written down and what you want to focus on because it will compound over time. You’ll get better and better and better.

Chris Miles (13:14): So true. Yeah. I want to go to both of those points. Man, you’re making this so hard on me, man. Cause you have, you’re testing my focus right now of how I can do this. But you know, when you mentioned about like the designing that life, right? Like really, you know, figuring out what is it you want? It took me back to four years ago when I asked my wife to marry me, you know, I said, Hey, I want to marry you. She says, all right, two conditions, one, no more kids. Cause eight is enough. Right. So we’re not having anymore. And then two, you need to make sure that every winter, she was like, I don’t care if you come or not. But every winter I got to leave, like I cannot do another Utah winter anymore. Like I’m done. I’m from the tropics. I can’t do it.

Chris Miles (13:57): And I said, all right, well, let’s do this. You know? And in my mind that was something that was impossible. Right. That seemed impossible. But when we really like mapped it out, like figured out how much would it really cost to do that? And you know, obviously, you know, of course with my business being virtual, I can do it anywhere anyways, but it was a whole mindset shift. And now I realize it’s freaking easy. It’s easy to do that. Like the hardest thing is now just, you know, trying to make it all work with children. You know, that’s the hardest part, but everything else is great, you know? And so I love that you did that. You can design that life. And once, you know, it’s easier to create.

Chase Maher (14:31): Chris, Gary Keller talks a lot about living a life by design. And if we don’t build a plan and then work towards that plan, we’re kind of just like living endlessly and just kind of wandering. And that’s a lifestyle that I didn’t really want for me. So I made that decision to live a life by design.

Chris Miles (14:49): I love it. So tell us, you mentioned about the income streams too, right? So you say you have one main income stream and you create other income streams. Tell us more about your philosophy on that.

Chase Maher (14:58): So active income figure out what’s that sweet spot that you can live off, you know, 50% or less of that active income and then invest the rest. And so for me, I figured out, you know, what’s that sweet spot and then I want to invest everything else. And so the active income that I like kind of sets up my passive income stream. So I realized that I wanted to have rental properties. I wanted to have buildings and assets. And so how can I build an active income that kind of sets that up? Well, it was lead generation for distressed properties, and then I can take those properties. I can fix and flip them. I can wholesale them. I can list them as an agent or I can refer them to a realtor. So those are four different streams of active income that are all built off of one marketing channel.

Chris Miles (15:44): Just one activity, yeah.

Chase Maher (15:45): One activity. We’re just, how do I simplify and dumb it down? Here’s another thing that I learned from Gary Keller when I was an agent is, what’s the one thing that you can do that makes everything simple or unnecessary? And so I focus on lead generation and then how can I maximize my use of that property? And then also what that does is I’m able to cherry pick the best ones for my portfolio. It kind of all builds off of that. And then from there, you know, some other income streams, passive that were sort of built off that and you know, just focusing on what that sweet spot is. So me personally, now I live off 30% of it and I invest the rest. And, you know, based off your investment philosophies, I learned from you and your show, we kind of have a lot of alignment there as well.

Chris Miles (16:33): Yeah. I love that! I love that! That basic philosophy of saying, all right, how do I get myself to have a lifestyle where I’m only at 50% of my income? That’s, for some people that’s a stretch, right. But it is kind of a core challenge.

Chase Maher (16:46): Yeah. You just got to make more than, you know, if your lifestyle is, is 10 grand, you need to figure out a way to make 20 grand. And actually you need to work, figure out a way to make like 30 grand cause of the taxes. So another reason why I love being an entrepreneur is, you know, tax saving strategies. So I’ve figured out how can I pay the least amount of taxes legally? And that’s by setting up, you know, an escorp paying myself a salary, profit distributions, owning assets that I can write off the interest. And so that sweet spot for me, I’m able to like focus in on it more and more and not have to go too high above that because I’m saving money on the taxes as well.

Chris Miles (17:25): That’s true. I get a lot of clients where, you know, like I get some of that. We can get them retire like this year, right. Others might take within five to seven years, 10 years. And I get some of those clients they’ll say, alright, like we got a couple deals, but they didn’t have a whole lot of cash. Like maybe they have 50 to a hundred grand. We’re like, alright, we’re making 500,000 passive a month, but we need 10,000 a month. Right. And it seems like there’s a big Hill to climb. We’re like, well, how do we do it faster, Chris? I’m like, well, other than just reinvesting the money you’re making, I’m like the best thing you can do is just find other ways to create more income or reduce your expenses and allow yourself to invest more faster. That is really the amplifier. Right? That’s the thing that multiplies it all is if you go from saying, Oh, I only got a thousand a month to build a, to put towards buying passive investments versus, Hey, I’ve now got 5,000 or 10,000 a month. I can put towards that. It’s a complete game changer. Like the numbers has become exponentially better. When you do that.

Chase Maher (18:24): Yeah. If you can think of a way to like productize yourself. And what that looks like is either sell it for more, make more money or reduce your costs, reduce your expenses. It’s pretty simple. I usually opt for, I like just trying to make more money because I still like, I like that 30% or 50% I focus on the 30%. I like to live a good lifestyle though. You know, like I’m not some Rice and Beans kind of guy. I do a lot of trips, a lot of traveling. I figure out what’s that sweet spot. So do you need that? You know, tier two or tier three above the current car you’re driving right now? Do you need that fifth surfboard? Do you need, you know, certain things like, do you really need them and you know, live your life a little bit above the needs so that you’re still happy and you’re still enjoying yourself, but ask yourself on your purchases. Like, are there certain things like, do I really need that? And then, you know, if you do buy it, try to match that towards an investment. So anything that’s a want, I buy it and it’s 500 bucks, all right. Then I need to commit to 500 bucks towards an investment. And so kind of simplified it like that.

Chris Miles (19:32): I think that’s the key is that, I mean, just like you said earlier, like when you can really know what you want, right? What’s really the priority. Yeah. You can still have a life that you love, but you can say, you know, all those rest of the stuff is distraction. It’s just extra clutter in my life. I don’t need it. Simplify on what I really want. Keep that simple life and create freedom from it. I love that.

Chase Maher (19:52): Yeah, man.

Chris Miles (19:53): Cool, man. Well, Hey, if people want to get to know your stuff or follow you or whatever, what’s the best way they can do that, Chase?

Chase Maher (19:59): So the best way is my podcast. The Life Worth Chasing Podcasts. We talk about real estate, money, wealth, business strategies, and pretty much every guest that I bring on like yourself, you were just on. I really want to make sure that they live, you know, a life by design that, you know, they’re not working until their eyes bleed. And so it’s the kind of show that you’re going to learn a lot, but you’re also going to be inspired. And then if you want to get ahold of me directly, the best place is probably on Twitter and it’s @iamchasemaher and yeah, I’m on Twitter a lot dropping knowledge. That’s how I communicate with a lot of people and can join me on there. And there’s a lot of good, useful information on that.

Chris Miles (20:35): Awesome! Chase, I really appreciate it. Like I said, there were so many nuggets on here. We could go like an hour long episode and have some fun with this, but man, the stuff you’ve given, I recommend people listen to show more than once just to pick up on these nuggets you’ve given us. So I really appreciate that.

Chase Maher (20:50): Hey, my pleasure, man. I appreciate you having me on.

Chris Miles (20:53): You bet! Everybody else, you know, we’ll put in the show notes, you know, Chase’s podcast as well as his Twitter handle. So check them out, check out his stuff. Great show.
