🎙️ New Podcast Episode – From Advocacy to Property
Featuring: Ethel Moran, CEO of Urban Evaluation Solution
In the latest episode of From Advocacy to Property, I had the pleasure of interviewing Ethel Moran, the President and CEO of Urban Evaluation Solution. We first connected through the Facebook group "Voucher, Section 8, CityFHEPS, and Similar Postings," where she discovered my petition to reform the Human Resources Administration (HRA).
Ethel brings decades of experience in social services and public health education but found that existing social welfare agencies couldn’t fully satisfy her mission to create real, lasting change. So, she founded Urban Evaluation Solution—a platform designed to identify challenges, develop real solutions, and follow through until individuals achieve long-term success. Her work focuses heavily on housing assistance programs like CityFHEPS, HASA, and Section 8 to ensure families find stability.
🏡 Housing & Financial Stability – How Urban Evaluation Solution helps individuals secure housing and build financial independence.
🧠 Behavioral Health & Wellness – Offering psychiatric evaluations, counseling, and substance dependence treatment.
🩺 Medical & Social Services – Providing care coordination, primary healthcare, and assistance with entitlements like Social Security.
🤝 Community Support & Advocacy – The importance of partnerships in creating sustainable change.
This episode is packed with insightful, engaging conversation, and you’ll hear how our energy shifts from formal to passionate as we dive deeper into Ethel’s mission. It’s a discussion you won’t want to miss!

Season 5 conversations kicked off today with Episode 2. My special guest Amrish Dias, a trilingual Mortgage Expert and industry veteran came to my show today so we can get to know one another more than just doing business together. On the business end, I'm the Real Estate Agent, and Amrish Dias is my business referral partner representing Cardinal Financial Company. On the personal end, him and I are both fathers, lovers, New Yorkers, Long Islander, and in our less than 40 minutes of conversation we talked so much. Originally I was going to have a much longer conversation but due to technical difficulties we were forced to cut our conversation shorter. Nevertheless we've overcame challenges and we pivoted and refocused our energy to bring you today another excellent Podcast conversation. I value your time to listen to our stories. Thank you my audience for being the big part of my Podcast Experience.

First of all, there was a little bit of technical difficulties and I was muted the first 30seconds.
In this 1 hour self podcasting episode which was recorded LIVE on my FABULOUSLY_TOURETTE Instagram I made update toward my now 4 month of Real Estate Agency journey and I shared my own personal evaluation, strategies, and outlook. I talked about my recent opportunity of doing some part-time work in my past career Ocean Import Freight Forwarding operations and how this experience enlightened me and boosted my confidence. I will be turning 44 soon by middle of this month of April. I am proud of my own personal and professional progress. I will keep up the good work. Thank you for listening.
This was my first podcast recorded while going Livestream on Instagram. I was flowing so well in my self-talks I actually went over the first 30 minutes segment without knowing the recording ended. This explains the gap you will hear but as always I improvised beautifully. In this episodes I spoke about my own personal journey integrating my work into my life and how things are intricately intertwined while maintaining harmony. I used this segment to address some Real Estate Market updates as well as sharing prospect strategy and tips. Thank you for your continuing participation and support toward my platform. As always I welcome guests to come to my show and our topics don't have to limit to just Tourette's, Mental Health, and Real Estate.
2 weeks after our initial conversation, Brooklyn based visual artist Elton Leonard returned for another episode. We started off episode 53 by talking about Martial Arts since Elton was a practitioner and I have been a long time enthusiast. We spoke about the importance of communication and how misunderstandings in our diverse city can spark into long time race tensions. We also discussed importance of mental health awareness and I invited Elton to be part of my future episodes because talks like this bring healing to both of us.
Thank you for your listening and supports.

Kicking off 2024 February Black History Month I am bringing you a fresh episode with fresh content on the 1st of February. I feel like time has been compressed over the past 4 years. While writing this episode description I realize I have a hard time retracing the past 4 years. Everything seemed like yesterday, yet 4 years have passed. But I also feel like 10 years have passed in the period of 4. Pandemic started January 2020 and so did the jumpstart of the COVID era Anti Asian hate crimes. Then May 25th 2020, George Floyd's brutal death and another direct reflection of an ongoing epidemic systematic racial injustice and brutality in this country. A 3 year long wave of BLM protests started. My partner was also assaulted because of COVID FEAR. My friend, Steve Lee AKA #AsianSerpico was running for office and it was around that time I met Elton through Facebook since he and Steve had a past together.
One of my initial conversations with Elton on the phone in 2020 was about race, equality, freedom, and misunderstandings. He confronted me with a question regarding how African immigrants were treated in China because at the time the SINO/US relation was already sour thanks to the Trump Trade War then COVID. As always I took my time and I thoroughly explained to Elton regarding my perspective on the situation. I spent time to explain China's history so I can frame my perspective and distinguish between facts and opinions. I felt Elton was pleasantly taken back my passionate speech to not only answer his question but I took my time to help him understand more. And my intention of this episode was to kick off a series of future stories surrounding the conversation between me, a naturalized American of Chinese descent and a Black Artist born in a historical civil rights neighborhood in NYC of an African American mother and Black immigrant father. And how we differ yet relate so much. At the end of the episode you will hear how the energy of our conversation changed from the beginning to the end. At one point, Elton expressed the importance of creating this link between the Asian and the Black communities in America and how much he appreciates the planning of future conversations like this.
I totally didn't want this episode to be another generic artist interview type of podcast where cliche questions were asked. But this episode really flowed like a conversation. I hope to engage in future podcast in this format. And look at how am I writing this episode intro. I am really enjoying this.
Elton Leonard is Brooklyn Based Artist, Illustrator, Art Teacher, Graphic Designer

In this episode I talked a great deal about the damaging effects of "self sabotaging" and I shared exciting life updates. It's been little more than a week since I signed with the broker that I want to partner with, Home Smart Premier Living Realty and I feel like I am already a month into the journey because so much has happened and so fast. But none of this can be achieved if I took the route of self sabotaging. My name is Peter Zhao, I am a licensed NY real state agent thanks for listening and I appreciate your supports.
