The sound of community is getting louder again. We sit down with WEEU owner John Treese to unpack how a 1931 AM station found fresh purpose with modern tech, live local programming, and an unapologetic focus on Berks County and the surrounding 16 counties their signal reaches. From the decisive frequency move to 830 AM and a 20,000-watt daytime boost to the nuts and bolts of licenses, towers, and engineering, John explains how coverage becomes connection only when you pair it with relevance.

We walk through the overhaul that made the station feel alive: renovated studios that inspire confidence on camera, expanded streaming, and a new video-forward approach to high school football and basketball. Sports serve as a bridge across neighborhoods and generations, supported by a lively scoreboard show featuring coaches, reporters, and standout athletes. The commitment to free, no-paywall content keeps access open for families, fans, and advertisers who want reach without friction. Along the way, we touch on the hardest challenge—bringing back local radio news in a world with fewer radio journalists—and the practical steps WEEU is taking through call-in forums and clear pointers to trustworthy sources.

John’s path from college radio to station ownership adds heart to the strategy. He argues that radio lost ground when it stopped talking to people like they mattered; WEEU’s answer is to open the doors wide. That means internships, school partnerships, student performances in-studio, and series like Outstanding Student that put young voices on air. It also means inviting new hosts to pitch ideas, test their talent, and help build a daily lineup that’s live and local from early mornings into drive time. If you care about local media, community sports, and hearing your neighbors on the mic, this conversation will remind you why radio still matters.

Follow WEEU at 830weeu.com and on Facebook, Instagram, X, and TikTok. If this story resonated, share it with a friend in Berks County, leave a review, and subscribe for more conversations that put local voices first.

What if you could change your results by changing your state first? That’s the premise Shauna VanBogart brings to the table, blending personal branding roots with a deeper craft: shaping presence so your inner world and outer impact finally match. We dive into Resonance House, her immersive platform that uses cinematic, hypnosis-informed audio journeys to help you step into qualities like calm confidence, creative flow, intuitive clarity, and real capacity to receive support and money without flinching.
 
Shauna walks us through the “room” metaphor that makes growth feel tangible. The Receiving Parlor addresses a common high-performer blind spot: accepting help and praise without deflecting. The Velvet Library trains intuition as a practical skill you can strengthen. The Treasury reframes money as neutral energy and invites abundance without shame. Instead of information overload, each room delivers a felt experience that your mind and body can recall when it counts—on stage, in a negotiation, or during tough conversations at home.
 
We also get tactical about styling energy for the different roles we play in a day. The boardroom self doesn’t belong in bedtime routines, and creativity suffers when you attack it with a manager’s mindset. Shauna’s approach turns transitions into moments of agency: "decide who you need to be, then step into that identity with intention." For highly sensitive people, she offers a reframe: sensitivity is a precision instrument when you set boundaries and build recovery. Her photo energy reads show how naming emotional undercurrents can unlock momentum fast.
 
If you’re tired of pushing and ready to resonate, this conversation offers a refreshing path: train your state, and watch your decisions, relationships, and outcomes fall into place. Listen now, then share the room you’d walk into first. If the show resonates, follow, rate, and send this to someone who needs a state reset today.

What happens when spirituality meets ultra-luxury real estate? Adam Brawer, dubbed "The Spiritual Realtor," has created a niche by bringing energy work to high-end property sales in Los Angeles. With a morning practice that includes sage burning and meditation, Adam doesn't just sell homes—he transforms their energy.

When listing properties with challenging histories—divorce, death, or domestic violence—Adam brings in "home healers" who use sage, drums, and intuitive practices to clear negative energy. The results speak for themselves. After cleansing one home with a particularly violent history, potential buyers immediately commented on the property's positive feel. This spiritual approach addresses what many buyers unconsciously sense when touring homes. As Brad notes, "Everyone asks if someone died in the house, which shows we all care about energy."

Beyond energy work, Adam's business spans from $1 million "starter homes" to a $50 million Andalusian palace featuring what Mansion Global calls "America's best pool"—a water feature with multiple waterfalls, a grotto, lazy river, and infinity edge. He's even currently marketing a private island in French Polynesia for €15 million, complete with two homes, staff quarters, and a chef from a Michelin-starred restaurant. Marketing such properties requires sophisticated targeting, including geo-fencing around the world's top private airports to reach potential ultra-wealthy buyers.

Adam's philosophy is simple yet profound: "The buyer is not buying your house; they're buying their house." By creating neutral environments and positive energy, he allows buyers to project their own lifestyles onto properties. Whether you're spiritual or skeptical, his approach offers a fascinating glimpse into how energy and intention shape our most important purchasing decisions.

Curious about energy cleansing or just want to daydream about ultra-luxury properties? Follow Adam on Instagram @adambrower or reach out directly to learn more about his unique approach to real estate.

Special Christmas Episode

Brad invites his family into the studio for a Christmas Eve Special Edition, to chat about family traditions both old and new.  Some of the Christmas Traditions are negotiable and you'll hear that some are not, especially when it comes to the colored lights vs white lights!! 

- Real or Artificial TREE? 
- White Lights or Colored Lights (outside and on the tree)?
- When Do You Start Listening to Christmas Songs?
- What is Your Favorite Christmas Song

As the year winds down, we gather not just to celebrate, but to reflect and express gratitude for the year's blessings – the simple things that often go unnoticed.  Each family member shares a favorite Christmas Song that resonates with them, from timeless classics to the latest holiday hits that only seem to start playing earlier each year.  Whether you're decking the halls or just enjoying a quiet moment by the fire, this episode is a heartfelt mosaic of what makes this season special.  So pull up a chair, pour yourself some hot cocoa (or a glass of wine), and join us in sending off the year with joy and anticipation for what the new one holds.  #merrychristmas #thebradweismanshow #happynewyear #familytraditions #weismanfamilychristmas

Thanks so much for a great year!!  - Brad Weisman

Have you ever considered widening your search radius to find the perfect home? Join me with guest Pete Heim, in a thought-provoking discussion on the advantages of looking beyond your current geographic area, especially with the holiday-induced decline in the number of houses on the market.  However, it's not all doom and gloom; with interest rates hitting a four-month low, the potential for job growth and a bolstered economy is on the horizon.

In the spirit of keeping you informed, we take you on a journey through the world of real estate loans.  Ever thought about assuming a mortgage (only FHA) from a previous owner? We discuss why this could be a viable option for some.  We also compare the housing market data from this year with last year, emphasizing an increase in average prices and days on the market. To keep things light, we introduce a fascinating product called "Magic Mind," a drink that promises to slash stress levels and boost focus – we could all use a little of that magic, couldn't we? #magicmind

To cap things off, we delve into the future of home prices. While a report from Redfin predicts a dip in home prices in 2024, our perspective, based on a survey of 100 economists, investment strategists, and housing market analysts, is more optimistic. Although there may be a slight decrease in appreciation in 2024, home prices are projected to continue their upward trajectory through 2027.  After considering factors like unemployment rates and inflation, we conclude there's no time for despair in the real estate market. So, join us every Thursday at 7pm for your regular update on the real estate market. Isn't it time to stay ahead of the curve? #bradweisman #peteheim #realestate #thebradweismanshow

What if the key to unlocking your potential isn't learning new skills, but upgrading your internal operating system? In this profound conversation with Dr. Ryan Gottfredson, we explore the revolutionary concept that transformed his life and could change yours: the distinction between your "doing side" and your "being side."

While most personal and professional development focuses on acquiring knowledge and skills, Dr. Gottfredson, author of Becoming Better, reveals that true transformation happens when we elevate our "being side"—the quality of our internal operating system, including our mindsets, emotional regulation, and character. This isn't just abstract theory; it's supported by decades of research across four fundamental mindset pairs that determine whether we operate from self-protection or value creation.

The conversation takes a fascinating turn when Dr. Gottfredson shares how his own childhood wiring created an avoidant attachment style that kept his wife at arm's length for 12 years of their marriage. His personal journey of awareness and transformation illustrates how our survival mechanisms from childhood often become obstacles to our success as adults, parents, and leaders.

Perhaps most eye-opening is the revelation that 60% of leaders struggle with a fixed mindset—they're more focused on avoiding looking bad than on growth and learning. This ego-driven self-protection prevents them from adapting to increasing complexity, causing both personal and organizational stagnation.

Whether you're leading a team, building relationships, or simply trying to reach your potential, this episode offers practical insights into how healing your mind, body, and heart can elevate your "being side" and transform every aspect of your life. As Dr. Gottfredson puts it: "The wiring that we develop to survive our childhood is not the same wiring that we need to succeed as an adult."

Take the first step toward upgrading your internal operating system by visiting RyanGottfredson.com for free mindset assessments, and discover how becoming better at "being" might be the most important work you'll ever do.

Imagine if you could understand the real estate market better than ever before, unlocking the reality of rising interest rates and their impact. That's exactly what we're promising in this riveting exchange with my good friend, Pete Heim.  We'll shatter misconceptions about current rates versus the 3.5-5% rates and explore how a combination of low inventory and higher interest rates can dramatically shift the property market.  And if you're sitting on the fence about investing in real estate, waiting for lower rates, we have some compelling advice for you!!!

But we're not just focusing on the present.  We're also journeying back to revisit the 2008 financial crisis and its profound effects on the real estate market.  We recall some shocking tales of sellers coughing up $60,000 just to free themselves from their homes. Fast forward to today's scenario, we examine the current inventory levels, low foreclosure rates, and the role of new construction and investors in contributing to low inventory.  And to top it off, prepare to be amazed by a success story - a humble townhouse, initially listed at $154,900 with no kitchen, selling for OVER Full Price, with ten cash offers.  Join us for a conversation that offers invaluable insights and tips for anyone remotely interested in real estate.

Prepare to have your preconceived notions about AI shattered. We're not talking about Hollywood's sci-fi plotline, but the very real use of algorithms and data mimicking human behavior.  Our guest is none other than Craig Stonaha from Laughing Rock Technologies, who dissects the essence of what AI truly is.  Drawing parallels between the evolution of hardware companies like Nvidia and Intel and the rise of AI, Craig will take us on a fascinating journey to the heart of this groundbreaking technology.

Worry no more, because we're unraveling the intricacies of the current real estate trends with our regular guest and industry expert, Pete Heim.  We're looking at figures that haven't been seen in over half a century: an astounding 68.7% of homeowners with mortgages have a minimum of 50% equity.  Foreclosure rates are at an all-time low of 186,000, a steep decline from the 2010 peak of 1.7 million.

But there’s more! We’re examining the profound influence of home ownership on net worth, featuring the intriguing generational differences between renters and homeowners.  Generation Z is shattering norms by immediately buying homes after leaving their parents' nest, unlike their predecessors who typically opted to rent first. It's an eye-opening discussion about the importance of financial acumen in home buying and how the rise in home ownership has impacted net worth over time.  So, gear up for an episode packed with valuable insights to help you navigate the current real estate landscape!  #GenZ #Millennials #bradweisman #peteheim #foreclosures

We analyze the current real estate market conditions in locally and nationally, separating media hype from reality while examining foreclosure rates, price appreciation, and interest rate predictions.

• Berks County currently has 446 homes on the market, showing stability in the mid-four hundreds
• Foreclosure rates are up 7% nationally but represent only 1 in 758 homes compared to 1 in 45 during the 2008 crash
• National housing appreciation predictions average 1.6% for remainder of 2025, while Berks County is experiencing 5.4% appreciation
• Interest rates are stabilizing in the 6.4-6.6% range with little expectation of significant decreases
• Home prices are up 55% nationally compared to five years ago, with current market adjustments averaging only 3.5% downward in some regions
• The "five-year rule" suggests homebuyers will typically come out ahead if they hold property for five years regardless of market timing
• Tax exemptions on primary residence sales ($250,000 for singles, $500,000 for married couples) may be increased to reflect significant home appreciation
• Experts recommend focusing on personal housing needs rather than attempting to time the market

If you're thinking about buying or selling, don't make decisions based on headlines. Work with a real estate professional who understands the local market conditions and can help you navigate the current environment based on your personal situation.

Pete Heim is back with his numbers and stats to update us on the National and LOCAL markets! You'll be surpised when you hear about the values and days on market.

OH and guess what? Inventories are still LOW nationwide... will it get better soon? Rates are all over the place but we are seeing a trend... is up or down? You need to listen to the show if you want the answers. Don't worry there's NO TEST afterwards.

One more thing... what do you think of Pete's sweater?

I had the amazing priviliege of being able to interview, Lou Cinfici, a World War II Veteran on my podcast, and it was all possible because of the curosity and passion of Tyler Boland.  Tyler (19 years old) is on a quest to document via audio and video, the stories of 100 World War II Veterans.  What's funny is he's already past the 100 mark and he's NOT going to Stop! 

Tyler tells his story of what inspired him to do this and the passion he has for talking to as many WWII Vets as possible before the stories fade, along with the brave men and women that made up "The Greatest Generation".  Lou shares stories of his time serving our country, as he went on to also serve in the Korean War and Vietnam War.   Lou is one of 9 brothers and 2 sisters... amazingly enough all of his brothers served in WWII also.  

The friendship that has developed between Lou, almost 95 years old and Tyler at 19, gives hope, that even though they are generations apart, there's respect and admiration that goes both ways.   I'm proud of Tyler for what he's doing and of course I can't thank Lou enough for all the sacrifices he (and his family) has made for our country.

Mike Bower is back to talk about his new Company Affiliation at CMG Home Loans, and of course about RATES, RATES and RATES!!  Seriously though... It's NOT all about the RATES!! There so much more to think about and talk about.  OK we did talk about BUY-Downs (buying down your rate) and Adjustable Rates... the 2-1 Buy Down maybe something to take a look in some situations. 

Other Topics: 
- Consumer Credit Score Online vs Consumer Credit Score that the Lenders Pull.
- Should YOU Try to Time the Market for when the RATES Come Down? 
- What are the Experts Saying for Rates for the REST of 2023? 
- HUGO chimes in w/ some questions too!! :)

My guest this week is Tim Daley, Executive Director for our local Habitat for Humanity organization.

Their vision at Habitat for Humanity is to be among the major housing leaders in our community for neighborhood revitalization by providing affordable housing and home ownership opportunities.

They are gearing up for their largest fundraiser of the year... the Birdhouse Challenge. Birdhouse builders create unique and fun birdhouses to be auctioned live. Many of the birdhouses are truly incredible and bring in thousands of dollars.

They are recreating communities ONE home at a time... they believe if you want to purchase a home and you're willing to put in the effort to do so, they will make it happen!

It's not every day you get to chat with a Tennis Pro from Dominican Republic, that found a new passion as a real estate investor. 

Andres Bernal came to the United States in 2012 to pursue is dream to be a Tennis Pro.  He didn't care for the uncertaintity of renting and decided he was going to purchase a home, which he did, and now he owns 13 properties!! 

He turned his passion for tennis into teaching kids and young adults through his Tennis Academy called Evolve Tennis Training.  One of his more famous customers was Ewan McGregor of Star Wars fame.  

Andres has a great story to tell... you can come from outside the USA and still experience the "American Dream"!

Lucine Sihelnik, the First Female President and CEO of the Greater Reading Chamber Alliance (GRCA), discusses the economic development landscape and exciting future projects in Berks County. She shares insights about significant changes in the business community and explains how GRCA is breaking the traditional chamber (of commerce) model with 900 members while many chambers nationwide are struggling.

• GRCA formed eight years ago by combining three organizations: Greater Reading Chamber of Commerce, Greater Brooks Development Fund, and Greater Reading Economic Partnership
• Reading's housing crisis requires comprehensive solutions beyond first-time buyer incentives—new construction and creative repurposing of existing properties are needed
• Passenger rail service expected to return (Reading Railroad) within five years, with the station located at the original Franklin Station
• Reading, PA offers higher competitive wages than surrounding counties, especially in manufacturing
• Major employers include East Penn Manufacturing, Amazon, Reading Hospital, and Giant Food Stores
• Family-owned businesses like Redner's Markets (employee-owned) play significant roles in the local economy
• "Meet Greater Reading" campaign highlights individuals who relocated to Reading to help with workforce development and talent retention
• Downtown revitalization efforts focus on mixed-use development near the future train station

Pete Heim is back for his monthly UPDATE... he brings the NUMBERS and THE NUMBERS don't LIE!  Listen to this lastest episode and learn where the market is and where it's going.  OUR opinions after 30 plus years in the Real Estate Arena... and sometimes we actually get it right.  :) 

Are you waiting for 3.5% interest rates before you act on your HOME Goals?  Do you think HOME prices are going to drop in a big way this year?  I think you may be surprised that it's NOT near as BAD as the media makes it out to be.  Remember too, real estate is LOCAL... what is happening in California is completely different than what is happening here.  

Enjoy the show!

I like to have my partners at Keller Williams Platinum Realty come in to share their opinions on the market.  What are they seeing NOW and what do they think the rest of the year will look like.  The three of us are very active working with clients on both the buying and selling side, we like to share "What We See".   

We talk about interest rates of course, that's the hot topic right now.  Inventory is definitely still a very big challenge... is it getting better?  Do we see it getting better in 2023?  I invite you to listen to this short podcast with Susan McFadden, Mark Chaknos and myself (Brad Weisman).  Good content and a little bit of banter too. :) 

New shows every Thursday at 1pm!!  Follow me anywhere you listen to podcasts!

Wow this episode maybe should have been LEFT Behind Closed Doors... Haha! Katie Marinacci joins Brandon and I in the studio to talk about her Pineapple logo being misunderstood to mean something else. You will be surprised when you find out what an upside down Pineapple means to many in a certain Lifestyle Club. 

Sometimes when nature calls it just happens to be when you're looking at homes... as Realtors we get to witness people having some bathroom situations that don't go so well. You won't believe some of the stories you'll hear on this episode... not for the faint at heart.
