His path led him to the East Coast of Florida for 8th grade with the Carol City Chiefs, and then he attended St. Thomas Aquinas for his freshman and sophomore years, getting playing time and loads of recognition. Derrick made a major move, transferring to Milton High School in Georgia at the end of his sophomore year. Milton is a strong program with recent back-to-back state championships. He found the athletes there were immediately motivated to work. Now a 6'1", 225-pound quarterback, Derrick is known for his ability to both throw and run, with a 40-yard dash around 4.5 and speed hitting 21+ mph. He trains intensely for speed and mobility. A major influence is Cam Newton, with whom he built a relationship playing for the C1N 15U seven-on-seven program, now participating in C1N 18U with Cam. Derrick describes Cam as energetic, serious about winning, and a valuable mentor who is the same on or off camera. Derrick understands and is learning to navigate the evolving landscape of NIL, (having to work through recent deals) and complexities of the college transfer portal. Derrick currently holds over 20 college offers, from programs including Ohio State, Auburn, Miami, and Ole Miss. Auburn was the first to offer after his move to Georgia. Derrick is focused on building relationships with college coaches and sees playing high-level college football and potentially the NFL as a realistic plan.

Smith's exemplary leadership and strategic acumen paved the way for a successful career beyond the cockpit. In 1999, he retired as the executive vice president and chief operating officer of MidAmerican Energy, leaving an indelible mark on the industry. Now a resident of Naples, Capt. Smith has earned a well-deserved retirement, at times, humbling conveying the memories of a life lived to the fullest.

S3 Ep 102#102 | Real Estate - Why this market It’s not the crash of 2008, and here’s why! | Will this bubble break? | Should I sell my house? Should I buy my house? | Why is Inventory so low?

E

239 Uncensored host, Tim Guerrette, interviews Adam Vellano, a long time broker and Sales Manager and Compass Real Estate about the current real estate market and how it compares to the mid 2000s housing crash. What are the hard truths and what buyer's need to understand? If the buyer truly wants to have a chance to get there dream home in this market, they may have only hours to make a decision not days. Good, new, listings priced “right” are getting offers immediately. Comps are out. If your comparing the one house in a neighborhood for sale and trying to justify pricing, good luck. Comps can’t keep up. You have to be aggressive. Buyers must be willing to pay list or more to compete on new listings. Demand is so backed up that someone will pay. Days on the market are telling, many listings won’t make it more than 7 days before going pending. If inventory has more than 21 days on the market it’s safe to say it’s overpriced. Cash is still king. If you are getting financing, have all your paperwork submitted, many lenders will give a conditional approval. Repairs - don’t nickel and dime sellers on repairs. Seller's will walk, it happens everyday. Think long term, don't screw up a deal for a few bucks. Sellers will just relist and some cases end up with a better offer. Key Takeaways: There are opportunities in this market, new listings are coming on every day. You have to be prepared. Have your financing in order, know the neighborhood’s, make a quick, strong offer and don’t be petty with repairs. Most importantly, use a good agent that understands the complexities of navigating this market. FOMO is the theme of year. Agents and buyers are showing their frustrations.Just remember this isn’t the same market as in the 2008. Always be kind and professional.
