A recent BANK OF AMERICA REPORT Found THAT HAPPY HOMEOWNERS WOULDN’T GO BACK TO RENTING.

Kathy Cummings, SVP, Homeownership Solutions & Affordable Housing Programs at Bank of America.

The 2019 Fall Homebuyer Insights Report confirms what we suspected: owning a home makes Americans happier by giving them the power to build personal wealth and make valuable memories! In fact, 93% of American homeowners say they are happier than when they rented and 83% wouldn’t go back to renting. Most credit their happiness to an emotional attachment to their home and believe that owning a home has changed them for the better.

79% say being a homeowner has made them a better person

More than three-quarters (76%) pursued new hobbies after buying a home, including landscaping/gardening (47%), cooking/baking/grilling (45%), interior design/remodeling (33%)

Compared to prospective homebuyers, current homeowners have higher levels of satisfaction with many aspects of life, including how much time they spend pursuing hobbies (82% of current homeowners vs. 63% of prospective homebuyers. The quality of their social life (78% of current homeowners vs. 58% of prospective homebuyers)

Counterintuitively, the financial wellbeing of homeowners is significantly higher than that of prospective homebuyers (77% vs. 42%)

Homeowners value emotional equity over financial investment 58% of homeowners believe a home is a place where you make memories, compared to 42% who believe it is a financial investment

Bank of America’s $5 Billion Commitment to Affordable Homeownership: In April, Bank of America announced a $5 billion affordable homeownership initiative that today is helping eligible homebuyers across the country with their down payments and closing costs, making homeownership a reality for those who may have thought they’d never own a home of their own.

About Banner Hospital

The Phoenix-based Banner Alzheimer’s Institute, known internationally as a leader in the fight against Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias, is building a multidisciplinary memory and research center in Tucson’s Catalina Foothills.

The 10,000-square-foot facility, which is set to open in the spring of 2020, will be named the Toole Family Memory Center at Banner Alzheimer’s Institute in Tucson. The institute was scheduled to break ground on the project Friday, June 28.

It will be located at the southeast corner of North Hacienda del Sol and East River roads, east of North Campbell Avenue.

The Toole family lives in Tucson and donated $5 million to the Banner Alzheimer’s Foundation to bring the institute to Southern Arizona, officials said.

The center will provide outpatient services related to the evaluation, diagnosis and medical management of both cognitive and non-cognitive behavior problems, according to the release. The center will also offer clinical trials where patients can learn about and gain access to promising investigational treatments and research.

The number of people living with Alzheimer’s in Arizona is expected to grow by 43% over the next seven years, the national Alzheimer’s Association says.

Among other findings in the association’s 2018 Alzheimer’s Disease Facts and Figures report:

An estimated 5.7 million Americans have Alzheimer’s dementia, including 140,000 in Arizona.
By 2025, the number of people ages 65 and older with Alzheimer’s dementia is estimated to reach 7.1 million. In Arizona, the number of individuals with Alzheimer’s is predicted to be 200,000.

The burden on Alzheimer’s caregivers continues to grow. In 2017, more than 16 million Americans provided about 18.4 billion hours of unpaid care in the form of physical, emotional and financial support — a contribution valued at $232.1 billion. In Arizona, 330,000 caregivers provided 376 million hours of unpaid care, valued at $4.7 billion.

We are dedicated to educating ourselves and the community about these issues and advocating for concrete solutions that serve our city. We offer a broad long-term vision of what development can look like in Tucson, in which developments can (and must) benefit the community, creating synergistic, cooperative relationships between developments and the neighborhoods they inhabit. The Coalition believes that the purpose of development is to bring measurable improvement to its community, and the way to ensure that is by demanding accountability and transparency. Furthermore, it is the role of the public sector, with citizen input, to guide urban growth so it is done in the wisest and most equitable manner. We see it as our function to present best practice information needed for government and community stakeholders to make informed choices, work positively and collaboratively to reach mutually agreeable outcomes, and raise the standard for future projects. This approach is critical, and by working together we believe we can build something superior to what any of us can achieve alone.

BRX Pro Tip: How to Choose the Right Intern Transcript

Stone Payton: [00:00:01] And we are back with BRX Pro Tips. Stone Payton and Lee Kantor here with you. Lee, we’ve really enjoyed some marvelous intern relationships. We’ve learned a thing or two along the way. What counsel, if any, do we have to offer in terms of how to choose the right intern?

Lee Kantor: [00:00:17] Yeah. This is important for all the studio partners out there or anybody kind of in business that is doing this kind of work. One of the—this is also one of the side benefits of doing work with the university’s entrepreneurship and incubators, right? You get kind of an insider view of-

Stone Payton: [00:00:33] Oh yeah.

Lee Kantor: [00:00:33] … the good interns are. So, that’s another reason to do work with the local universities in your market. But number one, there’s a pro tip when it comes to interns, you’re better off looking for an intern that’s a sophomore or junior, not a senior. The senior is looking for an opportunity to be hired right after this; where the sophomore in the junior is still in the learning stage and is just looking for any opportunity to get their foot in the door. And you’re gonna get to keep them for a year or two; whereas, that senior is looking to be with you, get knowledge, and then get a real job. So, if you’re not prepared to hire them, I would highly recommend getting a sophomore or a junior for the intern work.

Lee Kantor: [00:01:18] And then, I would look in the areas of the social media department, the PR department. You want good writers. You want good people with good people skills. And always hire for attitude. You want the person that is a go-getter, that can get things done. You can train for the specific skills. They don’t have to have any production skills. They don’t have to have any skills other than a good attitude, and wanting, and liking this, and coming to work everyday fired up. I mean, you can’t train that. That’s too hard to train.

Lee Kantor: [00:01:48] And you have to—the value you’re going to provide them, and this is something that has to be important for them, or it’s going to be a tricky fit is that they have to appreciate that you’re going to help them build their network and really get face time with a lot of executives, of people that can really benefit them down the road. So, if they don’t have that kind of attitude, if they think they’re just going to come in there, and either make a lot of money, or that they don’t care about building a network, that’s not going to be a good fit. And you can really help them because you can put them in the position to look good and be good by—we have our interns do a lot of times interviews from events, high-profile events.

Stone Payton: [00:02:32] Yeah, when we go outside, yeah.

Lee Kantor: [00:02:32] We introduce them to the leaders of different networks. This has led to a lot of speaking opportunities for interns. It has led to job opportunities and helping—a win for us is the intern leaves and has a job in the field that they desire. I mean, that’s a win for us. And that’s happened multiple times.

Stone Payton: [00:02:51] I think it’s happened every single time, actually. I think you’re being modest. But I do think one of the keys to remember, don’t feel like you’re confined to the school of journalism or the school of marketing and communications. There are some great kids out there that really are hungry, that are coachable, and they can bring a lot to the table, and there’s a lot that you can do for them.

Lee Kantor: [00:03:12] Right. If they like to learn about business and really want to learn from the horse’s mouth from all the people that we interview, we are a wonderful fit for these young people.

Co-Authoring the Show Concept

Stone Payton:
Welcome back to BRX Pro Tips. Lee Kantor, Stone Payton here with you. Lee, let’s talk a little bit about this idea of co-authoring the show concept and the big, heavy emphasis is on the co, right?

Lee Kantor:
That’s right. Co-authoring, collaboration, conversation. Those are all CO-words and they’re there for a reason. And that’s how we do what we do in here when we’re doing a show concept meeting. We’re not pitching somebody a show and asking them to pay for it. What we’re doing is building a show together with the prospect that’s going to help them achieve whatever objectives that they’re trying to achieve.

Lee Kantor:
And in order to sell it, it’s much more powerful for them to take ownership of it when they are actually creating it with us. And when they co-author it and they’re part of it, when they get on the board and they’re writing things down in terms of the perfect guest, the name of the show, when we’re going back and forth in brainstorming names and days, and times that it’s going to work best for them, and they’re on the board writing things down, they take ownership.

Lee Kantor:
Now, you have more leverage to take it away when it’s done. Then when that confirming release happens, it’s a lot more powerful because this is something they built. When you’re telling them, “Well, thanks. You know, sorry, it didn’t work out.” And then, “Yeah, but this is a great concept and we think someone’s going to like it.” How do you think they’re going to feel about that when the work that they did to co-create it now will be in the hands of their competitor?

Lee Kantor:
So, it’s very important by asking the clarifying questions, by digging deep, getting layers and layers deep, and creating a show that’s going to help them get the outcome they desire. And then, both of you are trying to determine if it’s a fit. You’re going back and forth and you’re vetting it, and you’re testing it, you’re poking at it, and you’re coming up with reasons why it wouldn’t work, and you’re coming up with reasons why it will work.

Lee Kantor:
And you dig deeper and deeper, and deeper, and you’re working together, and you’re really getting this very specific to help them achieve the goal that they’re trying to achieve. And then, if you do that in a collaborative manner, together, co-creating it, at the end of the day, they own it when they leave that room and they don’t want to give it up. So, it’s important to include them as part of the process and not just pitch them some show idea that you think will work for them.

Stone Payton:
And how often is the last 20 minutes of our show concept meetings them selling us, right? Because they’ve co-authored it, now, they’re invested in it. And it is a genuine collaboration. And coming out of that, you have such a much more solid show concept and you’ve got a foundation for real success and genuinely serving these folks.
