Podcasts about Competition

AI data centers are expanding across America, but who pays the bill? While Washington frames artificial intelligence as a critical race with China, Big Tech companies push for new AI regulations as local communities confront rising electricity demand, grid expansion, water use, and massive infrastructure costs. In this episode of The P.A.S. Report Podcast, Professor Nick Giordano pulls back the digital curtain on the physical AI boom. Beyond consumer tools like ChatGPT, artificial intelligence is reshaping military power, intelligence, medicine, cybersecurity, and global competition. But the AI race also raises serious questions about regulatory capture, government surveillance, Fourth Amendment protections, and whether taxpayers and ratepayers will subsidize the infrastructure required by trillion-dollar technology companies. Discover why China's Communist Party fears AI-driven "cognitive warfare," why major AI companies are calling for greater federal regulation, and what a free-market framework could look like if hyperscale data centers had to finance their own energy needs while protecting local ratepayers and communities. What You'll Learn in This Episode: The U.S.-China AI Race: Why artificial intelligence now shapes military, economic, technological, and geopolitical power. The AI Regulation Battle: How regulatory capture could protect established Big Tech companies while making it harder for startups to compete. Government Surveillance and AI: How machine-speed analysis could expand government profiling and raise serious Fourth Amendment and due-process questions. AI Data Centers and Electricity Costs: Why hyperscale data centers could consume a major share of U.S. electricity and place new demands on local grids. A Free-Market Data Center Framework: How dedicated energy generation, SMRs, natural gas, water transparency, ratepayer protections, and enforceable community benefits could change the economics of the AI boom.

HYROX world champion, a 22-year-old from Australia, Joanna Wietrzyk has forfeited her first place finish at a race in Beijing and apologized to China as well as her fellow competitors. Wietrzyk has been facing significant backlash, even death threats, because she chose to continue competing after defecating on herself in the middle of the race. Race organizers have changed the rules because of the incident, admitting they made a mistake by letting her compete for another 30 minutes while putting other athletes at risk.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

GUEST: Fanny Heinonen EPISODE: Season 4, Episode 2 A PODCAST BY: Simon Kölle SEASON 4 IS PRODUCED IN COLLABORATION WITH Film-Nyheterna.se For the first English-language episode of Filmbranschpodden, we meet Fanny Heinonen, Program Director of Film Tampere at Business Tampere. Fanny works at the intersection of film, business and regional development. Film Tampere has supported more than 160 film and television productions, and Fanny also leads the international AV Growth accelerator, working to strengthen the business side of the Nordic audiovisual industry. But her own path into the industry has been anything but conventional. With a background spanning makeup design, casting, entrepreneurship and creative development, she has experienced the industry from several very different perspectives. In a wide-ranging and personal conversation, Simon and Fanny talk about what it takes to build a film ecosystem, why cities compete for productions and what actually makes international producers choose one region over another. They also explore the relationship between Finland and Sweden, public funding, entrepreneurship, leadership, AI and the balance between creativity and business. In this episode, we discuss: ◆ Fanny's journey into the film industry ◆ What Film Tampere actually does ◆ Why regions compete to attract film and television productions ◆ What international productions are looking for ◆ What makes Tampere and Finland attractive ◆ Film incentives, infrastructure and local talent ◆ What Sweden and Finland can learn from each other ◆ Competition and collaboration across the Nordic countries ◆ Why public investment in film can matter beyond the production itself ◆ Leadership, entrepreneurship and building successful partnerships ◆ The relationship between culture, creativity and business ◆ AI and the future of the audiovisual industry ◆ And, of course, Fanny's best and most challenging days in the film industry A conversation about the structures behind filmmaking, the people who build them and how a region can turn creativity into a sustainable industry.

https://teachhoops.com/ What happens to your team when the head coach has a bad day? In this episode, Coach Collins takes a deep dive into one of the most important responsibilities of leadership: managing the emotional temperature of your program. Coaches often spend enormous amounts of time thinking about strategy, practice planning, player development, and culture. But players and assistant coaches are also constantly reading something else—the emotional state of the person leading them. Coach Collins uses the idea of the thermostat versus the thermometer to explain the difference. A thermometer simply reflects the temperature around it. A thermostat helps set it. Athletes naturally react to what is happening around them. Coaches have a greater responsibility. Their frustration, confidence, fear, patience, body language, and emotional consistency can quickly spread throughout a team. This becomes especially important when circumstances change quickly. Winning streaks, great practices, injuries, difficult losses, parent problems, player issues, staff disagreements, and unexpected setbacks can all happen within days of each other. If a coach's emotional state rises and falls with every event, players begin experiencing leadership whiplash. The episode explores the idea that every coach has a leadership range. At the top end, coaches are clear, proactive, relational, confident, and able to see the big picture. At their baseline, they are steady and dependable. At the low end, fatigue and frustration can lead to emotional reactions, micromanaging, distance, impatience, or poor communication. The goal is not to pretend that great leaders never reach their low end. They do. The goal is to raise the floor. How do you behave when things go badly? Can you lose and still communicate clearly? Can you receive difficult news without bringing panic into the gym? Can you correct a player without turning your frustration into that athlete's shame? Can your assistant coaches concentrate on coaching instead of trying to figure out what mood you are in? Those questions reveal a great deal about leadership. Coach Collins also challenges coaches to separate their identity from the scoreboard. Winning matters. Competition matters. Championships matter. But when a coach needs winning to validate who they are, the entire culture begins riding the emotional roller coaster with them. A great night means everything is wonderful. One loss suddenly makes everything feel broken. That is not stability. Great programs need leaders who can compete intensely while remaining grounded through both success and adversity. The episode gives coaches three practical questions for evaluating themselves: Did I act as the thermostat or the thermometer this week? What did my low end cost the people around me? And what boundary can I create to protect my emotional baseline next week? Sometimes that boundary is waiting before speaking after a difficult loss. Sometimes it is refusing to send the emotional text. Sometimes it is sleep, time away, perspective, or simply recognizing that an important decision should not be made while angry. For coaches trying to build sustainable culture, this episode is a reminder that your emotional regulation is not just personal. It becomes organizational. Players feel it. Assistant coaches feel it. Your program eventually reflects it. The scoreboard can change your circumstances. It does not have to change your leadership. basketball leadership, coaching leadership, basketball coaching, team culture, emotional leadership, thermostat vs thermometer, coach emotional control, leadership under pressure, coaching adversity, basketball culture, mental toughness for coaches, emotional regulation, head coach leadership, coaching staff, player development, program culture, leadership consistency, handling losses, coaching confidence, basketball program, high school basketball coach, coaching mindset, team leadership, sustainable culture, basketball podcast, TeachHoops Keywords Learn more about your ad choices.

Competition. Security teams. Celebrity pastors. No accountability. No transparency where the money goes. Is this church? What went wrong and where do we go from here?

In the Consumer Finance Monitor podcast we are releasing today, Alan Kaplinsky, founder and former chair for 25 years and now Senior Counsel of the Consumer Financial Services Group, spoke with Professor Mark Bartholomew of the University at Buffalo School of Law, co-author with Professor Samuel Becher of "The End of Shopping," a forthcoming article in the William & Mary Law Review. The article explores how autonomous shopping agents could transform consumer commerce and raises fundamental questions concerning consumer autonomy, privacy, competition and consumer protection. The implications for financial services are especially significant. Consumers could use AI agents to select credit cards, auto loans, mortgages, insurance policies, bank accounts, certificates of deposit and investment products. An agent potentially could compare thousands of offerings in seconds and execute a transaction that a consumer might otherwise never undertake because of the time and complexity involved. For banks, lenders, insurers, credit-card issuers and investment firms, agentic AI could reduce customer-acquisition costs, increase switching and intensify competition. But it also could make technology companies the principal gatekeepers between financial institutions and their customers. The company controlling the agent could determine which products consumers see, how those products are compared and whether a particular provider receives the consumer's business. Agentic AI also presents difficult legal and policy questions. Who is responsible when an AI agent makes a mistake? What happens when an agent has a financial incentive to steer a consumer toward a particular provider? Are existing disclosure, fair-lending, privacy, advertising and investor-protection rules adequate when the "consumer" making the initial decision is effectively an algorithm? Key Topics Discussed: ·                 Why Financial Services May Be an Especially Attractive Use Case ·                 Implications for Banks, Lenders, Insurers and Investment Firms ·                 Who Is Making the Decision? ·                 Conflicts of Interest and Self-Dealing ·                 Consumer Protection Law May Have to Change ·                 Fair Lending, Insurance and Investment Concerns ·                 The Need for Guardrails ·                 Competition and Data Portability ·                 Privacy and Cybersecurity Risks Will Increase ·                 What Should Financial Institutions Do Now? ·                 Do We Need a New AI Regulator? ·                 Don't Lock in the Wrong Rules ·                 What Does the Future Hold? Consumer Finance Monitor is hosted by Alan Kaplinsky, Senior Counsel at Ballard Spahr, and the founder and former chair of the firm's Consumer Financial Services Group. We encourage listeners to subscribe to the podcast on their preferred platform for weekly insights into developments in the consumer finance industry.

Since July, Australia's competition regulator has had the power to examine the big supermarkets' books to see how much they are paying suppliers, and what they're charging customers. From there, it can assess whether a supermarket has excessive profit margins...if so, they could face a fine of up to A$10 million dollars. To explain how it's working in Australia, and what New Zealand can learn from it, Dr Meg Elkins spoke to Guyon Espiner. She's a cultural and behavioural economist, and an associate professor at Melbourne's R.M.I.T. University.

Donald Trump need not be. BRICS is nowhere near creating an alternative to the US-led world order, says our expert. Synopsis: Every third Friday of the month, The Straits Times gets its US Bureau Chief to analyse the hottest political and trending talking points. In this episode, US Bureau Chief Bhagyashree Garekar chats with Sarang Shidore, the director of the Global South Program at the Quincy Institute in Washington DC. In a conversation taking stock of the grouping’s annual meeting in New Delhi on Sept 12-13, he calls BRICS an “interesting experiment” that is worth studying. Like ASEAN, it operates on consensus but has no charter. BRICS has been on a membership drive and now covers nearly all the regions outside of the wealthy western world. BRICS comprises 11 members - Brazil, China, Egypt, Ethiopia, India, Indonesia, Iran, Russia, Saudi Arabia, South Africa and United Arab Emirates. It also has 'partner countries' including the likes of Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam. US President Donald Trump has blasted the grouping, suspecting it of wanting to supplant the US dollar, the world’s leading currency. But de-dollarisation is not on the horizon, Shidore says. Instead, the body is asking for “modest, not revolutionary” reforms in the world order. Highlights (click/tap above): 1:40 Why should Asean care about BRICS? 6:50 What the New Delhi summit achieved 11:50 What does Trump see in BRICS? 19:30 ‘Competition within cooperation’: The China-India dance 27:10 US vs China: Destined to clash over AI in BRICS nations? 33:15 What are Beijing’s goals when it chairs BRICS in 2027? 37:45 Is BRICS ever going to create an alternative world order?

James Talarico was asked one question at a Texas campaign stop: Who's your favorite drag queen in the state? He didn't hesitate. “Oh my gosh. Probably Alyssa Edwards.” Watch the clip. Then ask yourself if that's the reflex you want in a U.S. senator. Most Americans could not name a drag queen if you handed them a week. The Democratic Senate nominee in Texas had a name in under a second — and he smiled when he said it. The performer he picked, Alyssa Edwards, has described himself as a drag performer who works with children. That sits on top of Talarico's own 2023 line that Texas produces some of the best drag queens in the nation. Ken Paxton, his Republican opponent, asked the question a lot of regular people asked after the clip hit: What normal person can name his favorite drag queen this quickly? Paxton called him too weird and too radical for Texas. Pat also covered: McConnell was out three months — and he's missing again. Does he show up today for the farm bill? Talarico calls himself a Christian seminarian. He also said he's “a Christian who hates Christianity.” Judge Judy is giving up the gavel. The new Judge Judy is her son, Adam Levy. Ed Sheeran's tour debacle just got bigger — he dropped Macklemore, and now the openers are walking. There is news on the Clancy holdout juror: He's black, Haitian, and Catholic — and in hiding after her defenders came after him.

What happens when you do everything right and life still says no?You train. You sacrifice. You stay disciplined. You pray. You keep showing up when nobody is watching.And you still don't get the outcome you wanted.In this episode of ALLSMITH, Bryce sits down with Sydney Milani, former University of Alabama track athlete, Team USA bobsled pilot, performance coach, and founder of Peerless.Sydney spent years chasing an Olympic dream. The work was done. The sacrifices were made. But the dream didn't unfold the way she imagined.And that's where this conversation really begins.Because this isn't just about bobsled.It's about identity when the title gets taken away. Faith when the answer is no. The difference between discipline and obsession. Learning how to lose without becoming lost. And finding the courage to keep moving when life hands you a different map.We spend so much of our lives believing the outcome will validate the work.Maybe it doesn't have to.Maybe some dreams aren't only there to be achieved.Maybe they're there to forge us.KEY TAKEAWAYS• You are more than what you've done. Accomplishments can be part of your story without becoming your identity.• The work doesn't guarantee the result. You can prepare, sacrifice, pray, and give everything you have. Life still gets a vote. The work wasn't wasted.• Greatness is usually boring. The podium is built on ordinary days nobody sees.• Every dream has an invoice. Time. Money. Relationships. Comfort. Energy. Attention. Decide what you're willing to pay.• Failure is an event, not an identity. There's a massive difference between “I failed” and “I am a failure.”• Faith gets tested when the answer is no. Trust means something different when you can't see where the road is taking you.• Discipline should give you more life. Fitness is the vessel. The goal is to use it to play bigger in the world.• Confidence leaves receipts. It's built by doing difficult things and keeping promises to yourself.• Sometimes losing the plan reveals the purpose. The chapter you never wanted may introduce you to the work you were meant to do.• The pursuit changes you. The medal matters. The dream matters. But so does the person forged while chasing it.NUGGETS“Greatness is usually boring before it's impressive.”“Everybody wants the dream until they see the invoice.”“The work wasn't wasted just because the outcome changed.”“Falling short doesn't erase the person you became chasing it.”“Faith gets interesting when the answer is no.”“Confidence leaves receipts.”“Sometimes losing the plan is how you find the purpose.”“Most people don't need another hack. They need a longer relationship with the basics.”“Success is cool.

Manchester United 2-3 Brighton | Old Trafford Match Analysis & Reactions Another devastating night at Old Trafford as Manchester United collapse from 2-0 up to crash out of the Carabao Cup against Brighton. Despite early goals from wonderkid Shea Lacey and Mason Mount, Michael Carrick's side completely unravelled—exposing serious tactical flaws, defensive nightmares, and a concerning pattern against teams playing a back five.

Welcome to Separation Season. The fourth quarter of the real estate year has started, and most agents are already mentally checked out. They're talking about next year. They're planning December off. They've decided they earned it. That's the opportunity. Anything you put under contract after November 15 probably isn't closing this year, which means you have roughly 90 days to get real work done. On our team, September, October, and November account for as much as 31% of the business we close. Quitting now means walking away from nearly a third of your year. The core idea behind Separation Season is simple. Stay disciplined and focused while your competitors take their foot off the gas. You don't beat them by doing something clever, you beat them by still being in the game in December. Here's the whole system. Three numbers, tracked daily, posted somewhere you can see them: Daily conversations. How many people do you need to talk to every day? Weekly appointments. How many appointments are you going on in the next seven days? 90-day pending sales target. How many homes do you put under agreement in the next 90 days? Not closed, because closings aren't in your control. Under agreement. The first two are your lead indicators. The third is the lag indicator that follows from them. Nothing else matters over the next 90 days. That stretch is going to be noisy. Title company events, holiday parties, leaving early for trunk or treat. The agents who protect the daily conversation number through all of it come into January with momentum while everyone else is starting from zero. One more thing on goal setting: set a reasonable goal you know you can hit, then go after it with unreasonable effort.

Most nonprofits are taught to think of every other organization in their space as competition for the same limited pool of donors. Heather Ray, founder and CEO of Project Sanctuary, and her colleague Catherine Ganley say that mindset is exactly backwards, and it may be one reason so many organizations struggle to grow past their first few years. On a recent episode of the Charity Charge Show, they explained how a collaboration-first approach, paired with a genuinely specific niche, has kept Project Sanctuary operating for close to 20 years.Project Sanctuary provides therapeutic retreats and up to two years of follow-on support for military, veteran, and first responder families, treating the whole family unit rather than just the service member. Ray started the organization after recognizing that veterans returning home were getting help while their families were not, leaving a gap that no other organization at the time was filling. ---------------------------About Charity ChargeCharity Charge is a financial technology company serving the nonprofit sector.

Ep 257 One World in a New World with Nkechi EgonuWhat if the emotions we've been taught to suppress, manage or dismiss are actually data—signals revealing how our human systems really work?In this provocative and deeply personal episode of One World in a New World, Zen Benefiel welcomes Nkechi Egonu, human experience architect and African systems researcher, for an exploration of intuition, emotional intelligence, inherited patterns, self-trust and the possibility of designing systems that work with human nature rather than against it.Nkechi's journey began long before she had language for it.Growing up in Nigeria within a Christian environment, she experienced an active inner dialogue, intuition, lucid dreams and insights that didn't always fit comfortably within the structures around her. Rather than rejecting those experiences, she eventually began documenting them.Something remarkable emerged.She discovered patterns.That inquiry evolved into her work with human-centered systems architecture and a foundational insight: emotions aren't interference in a system. They're information about the system.What happens when anxiety, discomfort, resistance, competition, scarcity or even shame are treated not simply as personal problems, but as signals revealing something about the environments we've designed?Nkechi shares how this perspective exposed unintended patterns inside a women's development program she was creating. Although designed to encourage collaboration, deeper analysis revealed familiar structures of competition, exclusion and even humiliation hiding inside the model.So she redesigned it.Competition became competition with yesterday's self.Relationships became collaborative.Participants moved from being led toward leading themselves.And growth became less about imposing another program on people and more about creating conditions in which people could develop sustainable new patterns.Zen and Nkechi venture even deeper—into Ubuntu, African indigenous systems, self-love, ancestral patterns, intuition, archetypes, shadow work, questioning inherited beliefs, learning to receive, and the courage required to face what the mirror reveals.Perhaps one of Nkechi's simplest observations is also among the most powerful:If computers and phones continually update, why should human beings remain static?We can observe.We can question.We can recalibrate.We can update.And sometimes transformation begins with something incredibly small: saying what you're going to do—and then doing it.That tiny agreement begins rebuilding trust with yourself.Join us for an unusually candid exploration of what becomes possible when inner awareness meets systems thinking—and when we stop designing humans to fit our systems and begin designing systems that honor the complexity of being human.What signals might your emotions be revealing about the systems you're living within?Connect with Nkechi: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tessy-egonu/Websites: https://hernest.africa and https://Hernestsystems.org.__________Coherence Engine - https://AIUniversalEngine.comA different view of reality: https://youtu.be/uhhWJhwEtX8

A seven-time author and host of the Master Your Mindset podcast, his training has been used by organizations including Nike, Microsoft, Salesforce, Amazon, Zillow, and the Los Angeles Dodgers.Through his coaching, speaking, and writing, Collin helps people strengthen confidence, resilience, self-awareness, and the mental habits required for sustainable high performance.SHOW SUMMARYIn this episode of Selling from the Heart, Larry Levine and Darrell Amy welcome mental performance coach Collin Henderson to explore the psychology behind sales performance and why mastering your inner game is essential to sustainable success.Collin begins with a simple philosophy: “Never sell, serve.” He challenges sales professionals to move from an “I-centered” mindset to a “we-centered” approach focused on curiosity, value, and helping customers succeed.The conversation explores how limiting beliefs, self-image, confidence, resilience, and self-talk influence performance long before sales techniques are put into action. Collin also introduces The Oz Method, connecting the brain to belief and curiosity, the heart to emotional connection, the lion to courage and vulnerability, and the yellow brick road to the habits and systems that make success repeatable.Ultimately, Collin challenges sales professionals to examine the stories they repeatedly tell themselves. Your strategy matters. Your skills matter. Your market matters. But your biggest competition may still be you.KEY TAKEAWAYSNever sell—serve. Shift from an “I-centered” mindset to creating meaningful value for the customer.Psychology precedes strategy. Sales techniques are only as effective as the beliefs driving the person using them. You never outperform your beliefs. Assumptions about yourself, buyers, the market, or the economy can quietly limit your performance. Self-awareness creates change. You cannot challenge a limiting belief until you're willing to recognize it. Master The Oz Method. Combine belief and curiosity, emotional connection, courage and vulnerability, and disciplined processes. Train your self-talk. The way you narrate wins, losses, rejection, and opportunity directly influences confident action. Stop blaming external competition. Before looking at the market, examine the beliefs influencing how you're showing up.HIGHLIGHT QUOTESPsychology precedes strategy every single time.You never outperform your own beliefs.Our limits begin where our vision ends.Self-talk is the number one driver of confident action.The brain doesn't care what is true or false. The brain cares about what is repeatedADDITIONAL RESOURCESExplore the secrets of heart-centered leadership and thriving workplace cultures with Culture from the Heart Podcast!

How Are We Finding So Many Great Real Estate Deals? If great real estate deals really exist, why isn't everybody buying them? That was the question that came into the Canadian Real Estate Investing Morning Show today. A listener wanted to know how Wayne keeps finding strong deals, how REI Masters students keep buying cash-flowing properties, and why those opportunities seem almost invisible to everyone else. Wayne and Gabby's answer is simple: You don't know what you don't know. The properties are not hidden. The MLS is not secretly showing Wayne different listings. The opportunities are sitting in front of everybody. The difference is understanding what you are actually looking at. Today's episode also covers the growing infill controversy in Edmonton, a suspicious fire in Parkview following an anti-infill protest, the current Edmonton rental market, and several recent deals being completed by REI Masters students. "Something Seems Off" The listener's email asked: How can Wayne and his students keep finding all these great deals if everyone else can see the same properties? Wouldn't somebody else buy them first? Wayne's response is that most people are looking at real estate one-dimensionally. Experienced investors are looking at it from multiple angles. Two people can look at the exact same property. One sees: An old townhouse. A condo fee. A property that has been sitting on the market. Something that needs work. Another investor sees: Strong tenant demand. Cash flow. A below-market acquisition. A refinance opportunity. Long-term appreciation potential. A BRRRR. A wholesale assignment. Or simply a property that fits a very specific investment framework. The property did not change. The investor's knowledge changed. Buying the Property Is the Easy Part Wayne explains that even when he tells people exactly what type of property to buy, that does not guarantee success. He could say: Buy three-bedroom townhouses in Edmonton. He could narrow it down further. West end. South side. Certain neighbourhoods. Certain price ranges. But there are still plenty of ways to make a mistake. Which complex? What condo corporation? What reserve fund? What future repairs are coming? What tenant profile? What rent? What condition? What purchase price? What financing? What cash flow? What due diligence? And once you buy it, how will you manage it for the next 20 years? The purchase is only one piece of the puzzle. Why Education Changes What You See Wayne compares real estate knowledge to assembling a puzzle. The Morning Show gives investors pieces every weekday morning. Over time, listeners begin understanding how those pieces fit together. But somebody who hears only one episode may hear: "Buy an Edmonton townhouse." And think that is the entire strategy. It is not. The strategy is the complete framework surrounding the acquisition. Gabby summarizes the difference: Education. Someone who understands an industry will recognize opportunities that somebody without that education will completely miss. That principle applies far beyond real estate. The Deals Are Right in Front of You Wayne explains how his own acquisition process often works. Every month or two, he decides he is ready to buy. He messages his Edmonton realtor, Calvin Hexter, and tells him: I'm in buy mode. Then Wayne reviews the available inventory. He may look at seven properties. Write three offers. Get two accepted. And buy them. There is no secret inventory. There is no hidden database. The opportunities are already available. The key is recognizing which properties meet the framework and knowing how to evaluate them quickly enough to act. Wayne Has Already Locked Up Three Properties Wayne says he has already locked up three properties recently and still wants to purchase two more. The reason he has not bought the additional properties yet is not a lack of money or financing. He simply has not seen anything good enough. That is another important lesson. Being ready to buy does not mean forcing a deal. You wait until the property fits. Then you move. Opportunities Constantly Change A great real estate strategy today may not be a great strategy three years from now. Markets change. Prices change. Rents change. Interest rates change. Inventory changes. Investor competition changes. That means opportunities appear and disappear. Wayne says there are currently two particularly strong opportunities in Edmonton. Eventually, everybody may recognize them. Prices will increase. Competition will increase. Returns will compress. And the opportunity will disappear. Then investors need to recognize the next one. The Cost of Waiting for Proof One of Wayne's biggest warnings is waiting too long for proof that a strategy works. People often want to see everybody else doing it before they feel comfortable. But once everybody else is doing it, that creates the very competition that removes the opportunity. Wayne says his best deals often happen because he recognizes the opportunity before the broader market does. His students may then enter shortly afterward. Eventually everybody catches on. By that time, prices may already be 15%, 20% or 25% higher. Education allows investors to recognize opportunities earlier. REI Masters Student Deals Wayne and Gabby also highlight several deals currently happening inside the REI Masters community. Dennis Dennis recently took possession of another rental property generating approximately: $580 per month in cash flow. Wayne says Dennis and Andrea have acquired several properties during their first year and have added substantial monthly cash flow to their portfolio. Kyla and Fabian Kyla and Fabian found an off-market property through their We Buy Houses marketing. Instead of completing the flip themselves, they found another buyer and are assigning the opportunity for approximately: $10,000. Kane Kane recently locked up his first wholesale deal. Wayne describes it as an excellent potential Edmonton BRRRR opportunity. The property is a three-bedroom townhouse requiring approximately $15,000 to $20,000 in renovations. The potential strategy: Buy. Renovate. Refinance. Recover the invested capital. Keep the property. Cash flow approximately $300 per month afterward. Wayne says the property scored approximately 9% on the cash-flow test. Jas and Rupinder Jas and Rupinder recently acquired another property for approximately $30,000 to $40,000 below market value. They plan to complete renovations and may potentially use a BRRRR strategy. Anya Anya recently acquired a commercial property worth approximately: $2 million. Amanda Amanda has secured her first joint venture partner. Her challenge now is finding the right deal for the available capital. Additional Students Wayne also highlights several other students who have been acquiring properties, raising joint venture capital, building rent-to-own businesses and expanding their portfolios. The common thread is not luck. It is education followed by action. Edmonton's Infill Debate Gets Hotter The episode also covers a very different Edmonton real estate story. Residents in Edmonton's Parkview neighbourhood recently held a protest against increasing infill development. Residents have raised concerns about: Density Parking Traffic Garbage collection Snow removal Construction disruption Neighbourhood character Property values Shortly after the protest, a vacant house slated for redevelopment caught fire. The property reportedly had approval for a four-dwelling row house with four secondary suites. Fire officials considered the blaze suspicious, and Edmonton police began investigating. Wayne makes clear that nobody knows whether the fire had any connection to the protest. But the timing intensified an already heated debate around infill development in mature Edmonton neighbourhoods. Another Infill Fire Had a Different Cause Wayne also discusses another recent Edmonton infill-related fire. That fire was reportedly connected to a lithium-ion battery inside an electric scooter. Wayne says Edmonton fire officials reported numerous lithium-ion battery-related fires and millions of dollars in associated damage. The two fires were unrelated, but both highlight risks surrounding increasingly dense residential development. Wayne's Complicated View on Infill Wayne openly admits he has mixed feelings about Edmonton's infill boom. He participates in infill development. He believes new housing supply is necessary. He also understands why existing homeowners may be frustrated. Wayne believes Edmonton went too far in certain areas and added too much competing rental supply too quickly. That additional supply has created significant pressure on some segments of Edmonton's rental market. But not every property type is being affected equally. Edmonton Rents Are Down — But Not for Every Property Wayne says Edmonton rents overall have softened year over year. However, rents within his own portfolio have continued increasing. Why? Because he deliberately purchased properties that serve a different tenant profile than much of the new rental supply being built. This is another example of why understanding property type matters. Citywide averages do not tell you everything. You need to understand exactly who your tenant is, what alternatives they have and what type of property they actually want. The Main Lesson If you look at Wayne's deals or the deals being completed by REI Masters students and think: "Something seems off. Why don't I see these?" The better question may be: "What am I not seeing yet?" The listings are there. The opportunities are there. But opportunities only become obvious when you understand: The market. The numbers. The property type. The tenant. The risks. The financing. The exit. The operations. And how all of those pieces work together. Education changes what you see. Action determines what you do with it.

Welcome to Day 2946 of Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain and today is Day 2946 – Theology Thursday – Sirach and the Fight for Israel's Soul Wisdom-Trek Podcast Script - Day 2946 Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps!   I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day 2946 of our Trek.   The Purpose of Wisdom-Trek is to create a legacy of wisdom, to seek out discernment and insights, and to boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. Our current series of Theology Thursday lessons is written by theologian and teacher John Daniels. I have found that his lessons are short, easy to understand, doctrinally sound, and applicable to all who desire to learn more of God's Word. John's lessons are available on his website, theologyinfive.com.  Sirach and the Fight for Israel's Soul. The Book of Sirach stands at a turning point in the history of Israel. After the conquests of Alexander the Great, the ancient world changed forever. Greek culture, language, philosophy, and civic life spread across the Near East with remarkable speed. This cultural tide carried enormous pressure, because Hellenism was not simply a set of interesting ideas. It was a full identity system that sought to redefine what it meant to be human. In this environment, many Jews abandoned the covenant, believing that Greek customs offered a path to prosperity, prestige, and modernity. Sirach emerges from this crisis as a call to renewed loyalty to Yahweh. It confronts the seductive promises of Hellenism and offers a vision of wisdom anchored in the covenant rather than the philosophies of the nations. The first segment is: What Hellenism Was. Hellenism reshaped the world by promoting a single cultural framework grounded in the Greek language and the ideals of classical Greece. It elevated philosophical schools like the Stoics and Epicureans. It introduced gymnasiums that celebrated physical excellence, public honor, and the pursuit of fame. It established theaters that portrayed Greek mythology as the universal story of humanity. It encouraged participation in Greek civic life, which often required honoring Greek gods and adopting Greek moral values. This cultural system promised enlightenment and unity, presenting itself as the natural next step for any society wishing to progress. It was attractive because it offered social mobility and respect in a world where power had shifted decisively toward Greek norms. The second segment is: Why Hellenism Threatened Israel For Israel, the spread of Hellenism created a direct conflict with the covenant. Greek philosophy grounded virtue in human reason rather than in obedience to the God of Abraham. Greek athletics celebrated the human body in ways that clashed with Jewish modesty and purity laws. Greek civic rituals often involved sacrifices or festivals to the Greek gods. Even the Greek language and educational system encouraged a worldview that placed human achievement at the center rather than Yahweh. Many young Jews saw Hellenism as sophisticated and forward-looking. They wanted to join the gymnasium, study philosophy, adopt Greek names, and climb the social ladder. This was not a casual interest. It required abandoning parts of Jewish identity. Circumcision was mocked as barbaric. Loyalty to Yahweh was treated as narrow-minded. The pressure to assimilate was immense. The third segment is: The Jewish Conflict Under Hellenistic Pressure. This cultural tension fractured Jewish society. A group later known as the Hasidim resisted assimilation and insisted on faithfulness to the covenant. Other Jews, particularly those in positions of power, embraced Hellenism as the path to political and social advancement. Competition between these groups intensified until it eventually set the stage for the crisis under Antiochus IV. Even before that explosion, the conflict was already reshaping daily life in Jerusalem. The Book of Sirach comes from this period when assimilation was growing rapidly, and the faithful needed clear guidance to resist it. The fourth segment is: Sirach as Resistance Literature. Sirach is not merely a collection of sayings. It is a deliberate pushback against the cultural takeover of Hellenism. Ben Sira confronts the idea that wisdom can be defined by human intellect or philosophical speculation. He insists that the fear of Yahweh is the beginning of wisdom and that true understanding comes only through covenant obedience. This stands in sharp contrast with Greek philosophical traditions that grounded virtue in reason, logic, or the disciplined human will. Sirach places humility at the center of wisdom in a world that celebrated fame, glory, and self-elevation. Sirach counters Greek ideals by teaching that wisdom begins with awe before the Creator, not with human insight. He rebukes the pursuit of honor for its own sake, warns against the destructive power of pride, and emphasizes the holiness of marriage, family, and righteous speech in a culture that glorified pleasure, ambition, and the art of persuasive rhetoric. The fifth segment is: Sirach's Strategy for Preserving Israel. Ben Sira sought to form a community capable of resisting assimilation. He taught that honoring parents was not merely good manners but a foundation of covenant life. He linked generosity to trust in God rather than to Greek ideals of civic virtue. He rooted ethics in the commandments, not in philosophical debates. He warned against false friendships and manipulative speech, both of which characterized political life in Hellenistic cities. Every part of his instruction was aimed at creating a resilient identity grounded in Yahweh rather than the prestige of Greek culture. Sirach's approach was simple and profound. If Israel remained faithful in daily life, it would remain faithful in moments of crisis. If Israel treasured humility, purity, and obedience, the temptations of Hellenism would lose their appeal. His wisdom was not abstract. It was a way of life designed to protect the covenant community. The sixth segment is: The Praise of the Fathers as Cultural Warfare. Chapters 44 through 50 form one of the most deliberate acts of cultural resistance in ancient Jewish literature. Greek culture filled the world with heroic narratives that celebrated men who were born from unions between gods and human women. Figures like Achilles, Heracles, Perseus, and Helen were remembered as half divine beings whose power, stature, and physical prowess exceeded normal human limits. They were not described as towering giants like the Titans or the Gigantes, but ancient writers often portrayed them as unusually large, strong, or imposing when compared with ordinary people of their time. Their scale and abilities placed them within the same broad category of divine human hybrids that the Bible associates with the Nephilim, even if their size was not monstrous. Ben Sira understood what these stories represented. The Greek heroic tradition did not simply offer entertaining myths. It offered an identity system rooted in beings connected to the spiritual rebellion described in Genesis. Their greatness was measured through violence, pride, sensuality, and the pursuit of glory. Their stories shaped the imagination of those who admired them and encouraged the moral values at the heart of Hellenistic culture. Sirach responded by presenting a different lineage of greatness. Instead of exalting demigods, he lifted up Enoch, who walked with God, Abraham, who trusted God, Moses, who confronted empires, Aaro,n who guarded holiness, Phinehas, who defended purity, Davi,d who shepherded Israel, and Elija,h who opposed idolatry. These were faithful humans rather than hybrids born of rebellious spirits. They represented humility, obedience, covenant identity, and devotion to Yahweh. In doing this, Ben Sira declared that Israel did not need the myths of the nations to define true greatness. Israel already had a sacred history rooted in the work of the Most High. The Praise of the Fathers was therefore an act of cultural warfare. It rejected the spiritual corruption behind Greek heroic tradition and replaced it with a godly vision of strength and virtue. The seventh segment is: How Sirach Shaped the World of Jesus. When Jesus walked the hills of Galilee, the struggle between faithfulness and Hellenism was still shaping Jewish life. The moral vocabulary promoted by Sirach influenced the world in which Jesus taught. Many of His teachings on generosity, integrity, humility, and wise...

John Blank remains skeptical on Oracle's (ORCL) substantial weakness into Thursday's earnings even though the stock took a beating from last year's highs above $300. He weighs concerns on bullish expectations pointing to Oracle delivering on its massive backlog while it juggles ballooning CapEx. Another key concern John has: competition from already existing Big Tech giants that include names like Microsoft (MSFT), Alphabet (GOOGL), and Amazon (AMZN).======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.
