Ramit Sethi of I Will Teach You To Be Rich talks to Maria and Andre, a married couple in their 50s navigating a difficult retirement gap. Maria has built nearly $500K in net worth, a strong pension, and a clear path toward retirement. Andre, who moved from Brazil and only recently received his green card, is rebuilding his career in the United States with just $16K saved for retirement. They earn around $187K a year combined, but their financial tension is not really about the numbers. Andre feels ashamed that Maria earns twice what he does, while Maria worries that she will have to carry their future alone. Ramit helps them unpack the pressure Andre feels to be the provider, the cultural beliefs shaping their relationship, and how they can build a retirement plan that gives them more time together not less. In this episode we uncover: • Why Andre feels ashamed that Maria earns twice as much as him • How Andre's recent green card changed his ability to build a career • Why $16K in retirement savings feels so frightening at age 50 • Why Maria's pension could transform their retirement future • Why Andre believes a man should earn more than his wife • How their finances are combined, but still feel separate • Why Andre's business expenses are creating confusion and resentment • The hidden cost of working six days a week • Why Maria wants more time with Andre, not just more money • Why Andre keeps defaulting to “work harder” instead of building a plan • How Ramit reframes retirement from fear into options • Why their future may be much stronger than they realize • The importance of acting like a team rather than competing with each other • How Andre could double his income after getting his HVAC licence • Why their Rich Life includes time in Brazil, leisure, and being present together Chapters: (00:00:00) “What would you do if your partner had no retirement plan?” (00:00:48) Meet Maria and Andre (00:02:12) Andre's career, green card, and starting over (00:03:32) Andre has just $16K saved for retirement (00:04:48) Building their Conscious Spending Plan (00:05:54) Their $496K net worth revealed (00:07:35) “She makes double what I make” (00:10:11) How Maria increased her income as a teacher (00:12:05) Learning to spend consciously (00:14:16) Maria wants Andre to have a retirement plan (00:20:03) Their fixed costs and uneven financial burden (00:25:43) How long their savings would last (00:29:20) The reality of rebuilding your life in a new country (00:39:43) Andre's childhood beliefs about work and money (00:45:17) What if Andre never earns as much as Maria? (00:52:07) Ramit's message to Andre (00:58:33) Rebuilding their Conscious Spending Plan (01:07:15) What their retirement could actually look like (01:11:11) “None of this means Andre has to work until 80” (01:12:09) “It's not a competition.

Joey thinks the hummingbirds are boycotting him because he hasn’t seen any yet this year. He also still wants guinea pigs as pets. In honor of the anniversary of the movie Jaws, a screening is being held on the beach where the movie was filmed. Guests will watch the movie while in the ocean. Nerd Nerds: A purse made of lab-grown dinosaur skin was sold at an auction. Someone made a fully functional car out of Legos, and it hit 70mph. A new robot toilet can drive to your location in the house and go back to its docking station after you’re done. An ice cream place gave Joey and his family the wrong order, and his wife schemed to make sure they got to keep both the correct order and the wrong order. Then, they ate all of it. Hot Tea: Bailey Zimmerman is facing felony charges after trashing a hotel room and causing $16K in damage. Sources say that Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are calling people to invite them to the wedding and then sending them NDAs. Police used a drone with a magnet to take a knife out of a man’s hand. The Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders have to follow a lot of rules to keep their job. These include: no glitter eyeshadow, always saying “yes ma’am,” never being in a place that serves alcohol or at a party, and more.

In this episode of the ZenRUN Podcast, I chat with the wonderfully dry, very funny, and deeply embedded-in-the-Delirious-world Simon Poli. Simon is one of those people who seems to quietly sit behind the scenes making things happen - which is possibly a terrible description because he also has a habit of casually doing ridiculous things like 200 milers, running from Bunbury to the start of Delirious, drinking beers mid-ultra, and helping race direct some of the most loved Ultra Series events in WA. As you do. Simon grew up in Bunbury, spending weekends playing in the bush with his brother Felix, climbing through quarries, exploring trails, and somehow surviving childhood adventures that would probably cause modern parents to faint. Running wasn't really the plan at the start. There was soccer, hockey, speed skating, basketball, indoor soccer, obstacle racing, and eventually trail running - thanks partly to Felix inviting him to a night trail race called Moon Shadow. And that was it. Simon was hooked. We talk about his early life, becoming a dad young, building a long career in supermarkets, moving to Kalgoorlie, finding community, discovering trail running, and the deep friendships that have come through the ultra running world. Of course, we also talk about Delirious. Simon shares how he first got involved with Ultra Series, what it's like being part of the team behind the events, and why he loves seeing runners finish something they never thought they could do - whether that's a short trail race, a backyard lap, or a 200 miler. There are also some brilliant stories in this episode, including: his brother Felix and their very unique trail adventures the unofficial “16K ultra” idea at Lake Ballard meeting Peter through running getting married in Spain around a mountain race running 200 milers like moving picnics why 100 milers feel more like races why he does not understand the appeal of the beach his current ankle recovery after finally listening to the experts Star Wars Lego beer more beer and the joy of finding your people Simon's running story is funny, honest, very Aussie, and full of that beautiful ultra running truth - it's not always about the race result. Sometimes it's about the people, the ridiculous ideas, the stories, the community, and the places running takes you. Tips from Simon Simon shared a few simple but very useful reminders: If you roll your ankle - rest. Simon is currently recovering from ankle surgery after years of rolling, ignoring, strapping, and continuing on. His advice is very clear: don't keep running on something that needs time to heal. Find your why. If motivation is missing, Simon says it helps to come back to why you want to do it in the first place. And if running isn't the thing that lights you up right now, that's okay too. Find something that does. Get involved in the community. Running can open the door to incredible friendships, adventures, and support. Simon talks beautifully about how much the ultra community has given him. Volunteer at an event. Even if you're not running, volunteering can give you a huge buzz. Helping someone else reach their goal is pretty special. Don't overcomplicate it. Just get out there, enjoy it, and be part of it in whatever way you can. Pass the Baton Simon has also given us the first “Pass the Baton” question for the next runner interview: What's the one food you wouldn't share with someone, even if they were really struggling in an ultra? Which feels very Simon, honestly. Delirious WEST event website: https://deliriouswest200miler.com.au/ Interested in the 2027 DW?

You've been the parent yelling. Or you've been the parent watching the parent yelling and thinking thank God that's not me, also it's kind of me sometimes. That's where Jonathan Carone started Healthy Sports Parents — standing on a sideline watching a dad reduce his nine-year-old to tears, feeling sympathy for the girl and empathy for the dad.Eighteen months and 100K+ Instagram followers later, Jonathan joins Chad and Craig to talk about the part of youth sports nobody puts on a brochure: the way it holds a mirror up to the parts of you that haven't been processed. The pride that swells when your kid scores. The rage that flashes when they jog. The 13-year-old running at your kid in a corner kick, who somehow turns into the kid who slammed you into a wall in 1999.We go places this conversation usually doesn't:Why the dads who knew the game best left rec league — and why that left Jim the Accountant coaching your eight-year-old off YouTube tutorialsThe "self-love and self-glory" framework Jonathan teaches in module one of his course — and why it explains every parent meltdown you've ever witnessedThe middle-school cliff that nobody talks about (top 10 of 300 kids make the team — what about the other 290?)The Let Kids Play Act, private equity vs. venture capital in youth sports, and the line between earning a living and preying on parents' fearsWhy Jonathan's book agent told him the parents who need his book most won't be the ones who buy itThe honest conversation about money: Healthy Sports Parents is a $16K-this-year side hustle. He's figuring it out in real time.Chad's daughter on a winning team who came to him and said "this isn't fun anymore" — and what they did nextIf you're staring down summer camps, all-star season, club renewals, or just one more Saturday tournament — this is the one to listen to before the games start.Jonathan Carone is the creator of Healthy Sports Parents — a podcast, social platform, and forthcoming book (Fall 2027) helping parents raise great humans through youth sports.

What this episode is about I'm doing something a little different today. I started a Substack a while ago and I've not been completely consistent with it (more on that in the episode). One thing I've been doing with some of my Substack articles is recording the voiceover, so I figured why not share it here on the podcast too. This is the audio from a recent article called "I've been a bit crap. And that's the whole point." and it's about the messy middle of getting good at anything new. If you've started a podcast, a newsletter, a Substack, a YouTube channel, a sales process, or any new skill in your business and quit because it felt awkward, this episode is for you. What you'll learn Why I started Substack even though writing isn't my flow (and the workaround I'm using to stay consistent) What Anna Mackenzie taught me about the long game on Substack (7 hours per article, 16K subscribers, and where most of her clients now come from) The Fitts and Posner three-stage model of learning (1967 research that still holds today) and why stage one is supposed to feel like trash The driving metaphor that makes all of this click The Dunning-Kruger effect and why your confidence crashes right when you start to actually get good Why most people quit at the exact moment they're about to break through The challenge for you this week: pick one thing you've been avoiding because you're not good at it yet, and do it badly on purpose   If you're a female founder and service-based business owner who's ready to turn your invisible expertise into bold, profitable brand through identity-led positioning, content and sales strategy then let's connect! https://www.suzchadwick.com/amplify 

Chirag is back on Trade Legends, and this time he's revealing all, including how he went from recruitment and estate agency to qualifying as a gas engineer in just two weeks. We get into whether that's actually enough to be safe on the job, the real cowboys in the industry, growing a YouTube channel to 16K subscribers, why long-form content beats shorts every time, the customer comments that make every tradesperson's blood boil, and why consistency is the only thing that actually builds a career.

The latest episode of the Fantasy/Animation podcast marvels at the era of technologically-powered immersive experiences and high-tech live concert performances through a case study of the Sphere Las Vegas, whose 16K resolution/160,000-square-foot wraparound screen was announced via a series of 40 virtual reality concerts held by U2 between September 2023 to March 2024. Joining Chris and Alex as they navigate these new forms of concert illusion is Dr Tim Jones, an Assistant Professor of Media Arts at Robert Morris University who specialises in animation, film history, media production, and Virtual and Augmented Reality (VR/AR) experience design. Topics include fantastic environments and the aesthetic principles of immersion; the promise of limitlessness when liveness and animation collide, and the resultant spectacle of domed displays; site specificity, aura, and the scale of collective experiences; distinctions between contemplation and distraction; and how the Las Vegas Sphere operates as an expensive party trick that helps us understand animation's own sacred spaces and sensory overloads. **Fantasy/Animation theme tune composed by Francisca Araujo** **As featured on Feedspot's 25 Best London Education Podcasts** **As featured on MillionPodcast's Best 10 UK Animation Podcasts and Best 60 Movie Podcasts in the UK**

If I lost everything and had to do $5 million in 12 months starting from scratch — no list, no reputation, no brand — this is exactly what I'd do. Not what I did years ago when the market was different. What I'd do right now in 2026, knowing everything I know after nine figures in high-ticket sales. Why the Math Is Simpler Than You Think A $10K program means you need 10 clients to hit $100K/month. At a 25% close rate, that's 40 conversations. At $200 per booked call, you're spending about $16K to make $100K. You give Zuckerberg a dollar, he gives you five back. Then you just do it again. The 12-Month Breakdown Months 1-3: Build and validate. One offer, one presentation, one conversion mechanism. Get your first clients. They're not just revenue — they're research. Months 4-6: Systematize what's working. Refine the presentation, dial in your call process, start scaling traffic. Months 7-12: Listen to find out. What Separates People Who Hit Their Numbers Speed of implementation — Launch ugly. Improve as you go. Every week spent perfecting is a week you're not learning from real feedback. Obsession with client results — When your clients win, everything else follows. Testimonials, case studies, momentum. Emotional resilience — The path isn't a straight line. Ads will flop. Clients will refund. Team members will flame out. Treat setbacks as data, not disasters. "If you want to be heavyweight champion of the world, you're going to get punched in the face. The question is, are you going to get back up?"

Recorded February 6, 2026 ISE season is in full swing, and while much of the AV world is busy chasing booth demos and press releases from Europe, the AV SuperFriends are back doing what they do best: cutting through the hype. In this episode, the panel digs into the latest ISE announcements and trends, separating what's genuinely useful for higher ed from what looks great under trade-show lighting but falls apart in real classrooms. A major thread of the conversation focuses on rethinking camera deployments in teaching and meeting spaces. The crew challenges the default "one camera at the front of the room" mentality, unpacking how faculty behavior, room geometry, and instructional goals should drive camera placement, not product marketing. From multi-camera approaches to integrated camera bars and tracking features, the discussion centers on what actually improves teaching and learning versus what just checks a feature box. Naturally, the conversation eventually drifts into resolution arms races, with healthy skepticism about 8K's relevance and outright disbelief at the industry's eagerness to jump to 16K.

In this episode, he breaks down how algorithms have shifted from social media to interest media, meaning your audience is no longer the people who follow you–it's whoever the algorithm decides will care about your content.Sharran shares the real metrics that matter now (spoiler: it's not likes) and explains why saves and shares are the new currency of reach. You'll learn how to engineer viral growth by asking one simple question before hitting publish: “Why would someone share this?”This episode will completely change how you think about social media, virality, and growth in the creator economy.“No post goes viral without massive shares.”- Sharran SrivatsaaTimestamps:01:07 - Real examples: 16K followers, 2.3M views02:04 - Why your followers aren't your audience anymore04:09 - The only metrics that matter: saves and shares05:21 - The one question that drives virality06:22 - The psychology behind shareability08:05 - Why “interest media” is here to stay10:02 - The new rule of content creationResources:- The Next Billion by Sharran Srivatsaa - https://sharransrivatsaa.substack.com/- Acquisition.com - https://www.acquisition.com/- Board Member: ARC Multifamily Real Estate Investing - https://arcmf.com/- Board Member: The Real Brokerage - https://www.joinreal.com/Connect with Sharran:- Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/likesharran- Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/sharransrivatsaa/- X - https://x.com/sharran- LinkedIn - http://www.linkedin.com/in/sharran- YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzpl_gT1bVB1iNZl9yQbWuA?sub_confirmation=1- Threads -

Send us a textA simple plan to tackle Nevada's ET Highway turns into a cross-state quest for awe. We kick things off in Phoenix and climb toward Flagstaff, chasing a crisp horizon and a stop at a veterans memorial built to catch the sun at 11:11 on 11/11. The Grand Canyon delivers that familiar shock of scale from new South Rim overlooks, and then Route 66 starts pulling us back in time. Seligman feels like a living postcard, Kingman frames your car under an iconic sign, and Oatman steals the show with wooden storefronts, a daily shootout, and wild burros who wander the street like they own it.We veer into California for Joshua Tree National Park and watch the landscape morph into Dr. Seuss silhouettes and boulder gardens. Earthcaches push us off the road to touch geology, and the golden-hour light makes even the cholla glow. On the way back, a roadside cache under a giant Coke bottle and a plane casually landing for supplies remind us that desert highways never run out of surprises. Then it's Vegas for a quick reset, where budget-friendly beds come with steep fees and the food is pricey but memorable. We meet friends, pull the slot lever once, and wake up early for the main event.Nine cars. Thousands of caches. A system that replaces every container and turns a blank desert shoulder into a well-oiled route. The ET Highway demands patience, spare tires, and teamwork, but the payoff is huge: a full sweep logged and a convoy full of stories. Tonopah adds color with dinner at the Mizpah Hotel—said to be the most haunted in America—and a stroll past the Clown Motel and its neighboring historic cemetery, where hand-stamped plaques record how lives ended in stark detail. It's a raw counterpoint to the neon a few hours south.The finale is pure future: The Sphere and The Wizard of Oz in 16K. The tornado brings wind and cold across the seats. Snow drifts from the ceiling. Apples drop. And flying monkeys become drones circling overhead. It's the classic film, intact, surrounded by AI-extended worldbuilding that turns watching into inhabiting. If the Grand Canyon is a natural wonder that humbles, this is a man-made wonder that lifts your jaw and won't let go. Hit play for the full route, the geocaching tactics, the small-town gems, and a cinematic experience you'll be talking about for weeks.

What if you could turn a creative side gig into $16K photographing dogs—even if you've never charged for a portrait session before?

On this week's episode, Sonny Bunch, Alyssa Rosenberg, and Peter Suderman ask why The Wizard of Oz is being mutilated via the alchemy of AI to be shown on the enormous 16K-resolution screen at The Sphere … and why Sonny is, honestly, kind of into it. (You can watch the CBS Sunday Morning segment on Oz at The Sphere here.) Then they review The Naked Gun, a movie so funny it brought this episode to a screeching standstill when Alyssa couldn't keep it together while trying to recount one of the jokes. Funny movie! You should go see it! No bonus episode this week, but we'll be back Monday with a brand new one.

On this week's show we take a first look at the proposed HDMI 2.2 specification. We also read your emails and take a look at the week's news. News: YouTube Once Again Dominates TV Usage In May SunBrite Debuts Full Sun 4K Smart TV Series XGIMI Releases MoGo 4 Series Projectors Amazon to Shutter Freevee in September 2025, Merging Content into Prime Video HDMI 2.2 Specification The HDMI 2.2 specification, announced by the HDMI Forum at CES 2025, introduces several advanced features to support higher resolutions, refresh rates, and enhanced audio-visual performance. Below is a summary of the key features included in the HDMI 2.2 specification based on the information we have today: Increased Bandwidth (Up to 96 Gbps): HDMI 2.2 doubles the bandwidth of HDMI 2.1 (from 48 Gbps to 96 Gbps), enabling support for higher resolution and refresh rate combinations, as well as data-intensive applications.  This increased bandwidth supports uncompressed and compressed video formats, making it suitable for advanced applications like AR/VR, spatial reality, light field displays, medical imaging, and machine vision. Support for Higher Resolutions and Refresh Rates: Uncompressed Formats 4K at 240 Hz and 480 Hz (4:4:4 chroma sampling, 10-bit and 12-bit color). 8K at 60 Hz and 240 Hz (4:4:4 chroma sampling, 8-bit and 10-bit color). 10K at 120 Hz. 12K at 120 Hz. 16K at 60 Hz. Compressed Formats (using Display Stream Compression or similar): Supports higher refresh rates like 4K at 480 Hz, 8K at 240 Hz, and 10K at 120 Hz, which require compression to achieve these rates within the bandwidth constraints. Next-Generation Fixed Rate Link (FRL) Technology: HDMI 2.2 introduces an advanced version of Fixed Rate Link signaling technology, optimized for better support of uncompressed content at high resolutions and refresh rates, ensuring pristine image quality and low latency Ultra96 HDMI Cable: A new cable type, the Ultra96 HDMI Cable, is introduced to support the full 96 Gbps bandwidth and all HDMI 2.2 features. These cables are backward compatible with older HDMI devices but are required to fully utilize HDMI 2.2's capabilities. The Ultra96 cables are part of the HDMI Cable Certification Program, requiring testing and certification with a visible Ultra96 certification label to ensure compliance. Features low electromagnetic interference (EMI) for stable and reliable data transmission. Latency Indication Protocol (LIP): A new feature designed to improve audio and video “‘video synchronization, particularly in multi-hop setups involving devices like AV receivers or soundbars. LIP enhances synchronization over existing methods, reducing issues like lip-sync lag, especially for fast-paced content or gaming. Support for Advanced Color and Chroma Formats: Supports high-quality color spaces like BT.2020 with 10-bit, 12-bit, and 16-bit color depth. Enables uncompressed full chroma formats (e.g., 4:4:4) at high resolutions, ensuring richer colors and pristine image quality. Additional Notes Availability: The HDMI 2.2 specification was announced at CES 2025, with Ultra96 cables expected to be available in Q3/Q4 2025. HDMI 2.2-compliant devices (e.g., TVs, monitors, GPUs) are expected to appear in late 2025 or 2026 Optional Features: Like previous HDMI versions, features such as Variable Refresh Rate (VRR), Auto Low Latency Mode (ALLM), Quick Frame Transport (QFT), and Enhanced Audio Return Channel (eARC) remain optional and depend on device manufacturer implementation. Consumer Guidance: The Ultra96 feature name helps consumers identify cables and devices capable of supporting 64 Gbps, 80 Gbps, or 96 Gbps bandwidth, ensuring optimal performance.

It's already the heat of summer, and the news keeps coming. Nilay, David, and Jake start the show with a bunch of tech news, including the latest on Tesla's robotaxi launch, some updates on the Trump Phone, new devices from Fairphone and Unihertz, and Meta's shifting strategy for face computers. After that, The Verge's Adi Roberston joins the show to talk about two important AI lawsuits that were both decided this week — one involving Anthropic and the other involving Meta — and what this particular battle means for who will win the AI war. Finally, in the lightning round, it's time for another round of Brendan Carr is a Dummy, some huge news in the HDMI world, and the end of the Blue Screen of Death. Further reading: Tesla's robotaxis are operating in a regulatory vacuum  Here's a running list of all of Tesla's robotaxi mishaps so far The Trump Phone no longer promises it's made in America  The smaller Fairphone 6 introduces swappable accessories The Titan 2 is a modern BlackBerry with 5G, Android, and two screens  A week in Xbox VR with Microsoft and Meta's new $399 headset  Meta announces Oakley smart glasses that shoot 3K video  Anthropic wins a major fair use victory for AI — but it's still in trouble for stealing books Meta's AI copyright win comes with a warning about fair use Senate confirms Trump's FCC pick, Olivia Trusty FCC Seeks Public Comments on Changing Broadcast Ownership Rules Trump's FTC agrees to Omnicom merger — with a gift to X  Paramount Plus with Showtime is getting a rebrand  Paramount delays $35M settlement with Trump as media giant fears bribery backlash: sources The Paramount Risk in Settling Trump's Lawsuit: ‘Bribery'?

On this week's show we look at a technology that could end HDMI. We also read your emails and take a look at the week's news. News: Sony steps away from 8K TVs – for now Survey: Share of Homes With TV Antennas Falls to 19% DIRECTV unites streaming options under one name and price structure Peacock highlights cool features for mobile users Other: AUBESS Tuya WiFi 16A Mini Smart Switch Is GPMI the beginning of the end of HDMI?  Over 50 Chinese companies including Hisense and TCL have joined forces to back an HDMI alternative called GPMI (General Purpose Media Interface). This new wired communication standard is designed to integrate multiple functionalities into a single cable, aiming to rival HDMI, DisplayPort, and Thunderbolt. The following are some key features: High Bandwidth for Data Transmission - GPMI Type-B: Supports up to 192 Gbps bandwidth, significantly surpassing HDMI 2.1 (48 Gbps), HDMI 2.2 (96 Gbps), DisplayPort 2.1 (80 Gbps), and Thunderbolt 4 (40 Gbps). GPMI Type-C: Offers up to 96 Gbps, compatible with USB-C ports, doubling the 40 Gbps limit of USB4 with Extended Power Range (EPR) under USB PD 3.1. Enables ultra-high-definition video - including 8K at 120Hz or higher, suitable for next-generation displays, gaming, and professional applications. Power Delivery GPMI Type-B: Delivers up to 480W of power, far exceeding Thunderbolt 4 (100W) and USB4 (240W with EPR). GPMI Type-C: Provides up to 240W, matching USB4 EPR capabilities. This eliminates the need for separate power cables -  simplifying setups for devices like TVs, monitors, and gaming laptops. All-in-One Cable Solution - Combines video, audio, data transfer, network connectivity, and power delivery into a single cable, reducing cable clutter. Supports bidirectional data transfer - allowing devices to send and receive data simultaneously. Compatibility and Connectivity - GPMI Type-C: Licensed by the USB Implementers Forum ensuring compatibility with existing USB-C ecosystems for smartphones, PCs, and TVs. GPMI Type-B: Uses a proprietary connector, which may face adoption challenges unless widely licensed. Backward-compatible with USB-C and DisplayPort standards - easing transitions without requiring immediate hardware replacements. Universal Control and Device Management - Supports a universal control standard similar to HDMI-CEC, allowing a single remote to control multiple GPMI-connected devices  Security Features - Integrates the ADCP (Advanced Digital Content Protection) protocol for secure content transmission. Supports daisy-chaining -  similar to DisplayPort, for connecting multiple devices in series. Limitations and Notes While GPMI supports 8K video, HDMI 2.1 and DisplayPort 2.1 can handle higher resolutions (10K and 16K, respectively), though without power delivery. Adoption is currently limited to Chinese companies (e.g., Huawei, Hisense, TCL), and global traction depends on integration into mainstream devices and compatibility with non-Chinese brands like Sony, Intel, or NVIDIA. The proprietary Type-B connector may face adoption hurdles compared to the USB-C-based Type-C variant. Commercialization is planned for Q1 2025, with consumer products expected by early 2026. GPMI's combination of high bandwidth, power delivery, and multifunctionality positions it as a potential game-changer, particularly for 8K content and simplified connectivity, though its success hinges on widespread adoption and global market acceptance.

Cramer predicts that a Fed rate cut will ward off recession, the opposite is going to happen. Schumer folded and Trump confirms we are headed in a whole new direction. Economy is about to take off. Everything the [DS] projected onto we the people is now boomeranging on them. They called MAGA domestic terrorist but now we can see who the real domestic terrorists are. Sometime you have to show the people. Why did Trump start with fraud? This will build the narrative that everything that these people have done has to do with fraud. This will lead directly to the 2020 elections and that Biden was not the President of the US.   (function(w,d,s,i){w.ldAdInit=w.ldAdInit||[];w.ldAdInit.push({slot:13499335648425062,size:[0, 0],id:"ld-7164-1323"});if(!d.getElementById(i)){var j=d.createElement(s),p=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];j.async=true;j.src="//cdn2.customads.co/_js/ajs.js";j.id=i;p.parentNode.insertBefore(j,p);}})(window,document,"script","ld-ajs"); Economy CA down 16K fast food jobs amid $20 wage, debunking Newsom-cited study  Federal data now shows California fast food employment is down 16,000 jobs since the passage of the state's $20-per-hour fast food minimum wage last year. A fast food study from the Berkeley Research Group found California fast food prices increased 14.5% from September 2023 to October 2024, or double the national average. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics' quarterly employment survey covers 95% of American jobs, and is considered the gold standard for jobs and wage data.

This decision was made in retaliation to Canada's earlier imposition of tariffs on Chinese-made electric vehicles, steel, and aluminum products in October of the previous year. According to statements from China's Customs Tariff Commission of the State Council, effective March 20, 2025, China will apply a 100% tariff on Canadian rapeseed oil, oil cakes, and peas, as well as a 25% tariff on Canadian aquatic products and pork. This move is part of an escalating trade dispute, influenced in part by broader tensions involving U.S. trade policies under President Donald Trump, who has also imposed tariffs on Canada, Mexico, and China. China's commerce ministry has described Canada's actions as violating World Trade Organization rules and constituting protectionism, prompting this retaliatory response  Trump Effect: Gas Prices PLUMMET Below $3 in 31 States — A Stark Contrast to Biden's $5/Gallon Disaster Source: AAA https://twitter.com/RapidResponse47/status/1900529607129944543?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1900529607129944543%7Ctwgr%5Eb15a05fb480f65d2195faf46cde22bf1b8b17ed6%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.thegatewaypundit.com%2F2025%2F03%2Ftrump-effect-gas-prices-plummet-below-3-31%2F Source: thegatewaypundit.com

“They said the race is going to start at 16K – I have to stay patient for that to finish the race strong. That was true. I felt at 16K, ‘Okay, now I am racing.' This year, just knowing how it feels, was very helpful. I trusted my training and how well I've been doing in workouts. It was like, ‘Let's go out there and finish this race.'” My guest for today's episode is Weini Kelati, who's becoming synonymous with record breaking performances on the roads. Just last weekend at the 2025 Houston Half Marathon, Weini shattered her own American record, running 1:06:09 to take 16 seconds off the mark she set at the same race last year, battling cold temperatures, gusting winds, and a loaded international field. She delivered a gutsy performance, finishing second overall behind Ethiopia's Senayet Getachew. In this episode, we dive into Weini's journey over the past few months from setting personal bests on the track to her debut at the Paris Olympics. We hear about her mindset going into Houston, the tough moments she overcame during the race, and why she's curious about pushing herself to even faster times. Plus, we discuss how this record fits into her broader goals for 2025 and beyond. Yes, we also talk about her potential in the marathon. Weini continues to cement herself as one of the best distance runners in the country.
