Jacque Jones grew up in San Diego and spent endless hours on the baseball diamond learning the fundamentals of baseball and foundational life lessons weaved into the game. His uncle encouraged Jacque play with the older, bigger kids at his local park which forced Jacque to toughen up and improve his skills. By the time he entered high school it was clear Jacque was an elite athlete with a future in baseball. Surprisingly he was looked by many college programs and not heavily recruited, until he was offered a full ride to USC by Frank Cruz and Mike Gillespie Jacque was in the starting line up as a true freshman and quickly established himself as one of the best players in the nation. In 1994 he hit legendary status after hitting 3 home runs against LSU in Baton Rouge in the NCAA regional finals. In 1995 he helped lead USC to a national championship where they were beat by Cal State Fullerton who had a kid named Mark Kotsay (currently the Oakland A’s Manager) who was the 1995 college player of the year and had a extraordinary 17 year major league career. Jacque was drafted in the 2nd round by the Minnesota Twins and selected to team USA in 1996 where he put up video game numbers hitting .404 with 15 home runs and 49 RBIs in 37 games.

Jacque had an impressive 10 year big league career with a career batting average of .277, with 165 homers, 630 RBI, .326 OBP and a .448 SLGs selected. A long with Torii Hunter and Shannon Stewart he made up what was known to be the best outfield in Major League Baseball. He was put on the Hall of Fame ballot in 2014 but did not receive enough votes. After retiring from Baseball he spent a few more years in the game as a hitting coach before moving on to other entrepreneurial and philanthropic pursuits.  His All Hands on Deck foundation (www.Allhandsondeck11.com) is a charity that mentors, supports and provides resources for underprivileged inner city teenagers in San Diego.  

In this episode Jacque takes us through his baseball journey starting as a kid in San Diego, his impactful college years and USC and his impressive big league career. This is an inside look on what it takes to become a major league baseball player and how to use the power of the platform to give back to your community. School is in session!

Holly Meyer Lucas is a powerhouse in every sense of the word.  In a short amount of time she has built one of the most dominating real estate teams in Jupiter Florida and Palm Beach county where she specializes in working with professional athletes and ultra high net worth clients.  Her husband Ed Lucas knows a little something about athletics as he was the Ivy League Baseball Player of the Year at Dartmouth and had a long professional career in baseball, making his major league debut with the Miami Marlins. Ed currently works in the San Francisco Giants organization but back in the day Holly accidentally stumbled into real estate by helping her husbands teammates and friends find short term housing during spring training.  The short term leases compounded into long term leases and the long term leases evolved into sales and referrals and the foundation for success in real estate was laid, 
A decade later Holly has a team of 30 agents who she pours into and a flourishing business.  Holly dedicates a large chunk of her day finding ways to inspire and educate her agents to grow their book of business.  She gets a lot done in a day and it starts early at 5AM where she makes time for her kids, husband, team, clients and a busy social life.  The struggle to keep work-life balance is real and it is an ever evolving work in progress.  This is real life, this is real business.  This is what it takes to have it all.  School is in session.

In late 2022 Los Angeles Voted in the ULA Mansion Tax to “force millionaires and billionaires to pay their fair share” on all real estate transactions over $5M which includes all residential, commercial, retail, industrial, office, land and multifamily real estate. The ULA initiative was sold as a new “Homelessness and Housing Solutions” tax to end homelessness and create affordable housing in Los Angeles. In reality, the ULA initiative was proposed by, among others, labor unions seeking to profit 4% on all sales over $5M and 5.5% on all sales over $10M regardless whether the seller made any net profit on the sale and/or whether the proceeds would be split among several, sometimes 10 - 20 family members, who are middle to low income earners. Instead of these funds being used to for the homeless crisis, the funds will actually be used to provide attorneys for tenants who are not paying rent to fight their landlords regardless whether they are employed and able to afford rent. The limited amount of homeless housing that will be built by the labor unions will cost at least $600,000 per unit which is about double the cost of building the same unit using large, professional building contractors that are non union. The narrative to help the homeless is an emotional trigger for all of us as we all want to help solve this horrendous crisis eating at the core of our beautiful city. Yet the city politics behind the narrative continue to cloud the facts and true intentions of the ULA initiative. All one needs to do is look at the amount of tax payers money collected for homeless and homeless housing and services over the past decade and reconcile that with what we see in our streets and on our sidewalks and parks everyday.

Today’s conversation is with Keith Fromm the lead attorney from Fight ULA (www.FIGHTULA.com) also known as the Newcastle Lawsuit which is one of the two lawsuits against the city of Los Angeles to overturn this unfair tax.  The second lawsuit is led by well known tax payer advocate by Howard Jarvis whose lawsuit hangs on a single argument compared to Fight ULA whose claim has 17 different argument including the Howard Jarvis argument  In this informative discussion, Keith and Danny shed light on the ULA landscape and the urgency to get behind FIGHT ULA so that Keith Fromm and his partners have the resources to continue to fight this case.  Up to this point, Keith and his partners have taken this case on spec and have not been paid for their time and work. The hearing October 23rd on ULA is only the beginning of the ULA fight as there will be several more rounds of appeals over the next year or two, and if successful eventually a trial that very well could end up in front the Supreme Court of the United States. It is now or never.
