Jay Hatfield thinks optimism is “appropriate for the U.S., but not really Europe.” He explains how the attacks on Qatar's LNG facilities is “great” for Cheniere Energy (LNG) and other natural gas companies in the U.S., but will have major impacts abroad. He lays out his case for how the Fed can cut two or three times this year. He still thinks the S&P 500 can hit 8K before year-end, but hedges the narrative.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

If you've been hearing that live launches are dead, that nobody wants to invest in high-ticket offers anymore, and that the way you've been building your business just isn't working — this episode is going to feel like a relief. Because I just closed a high five-figure launch in February with a small audience selling high-ticket coaching, and I did it the same way I've done everything in my business: through genuine, real, human connection.Full disclosure — I was prompted to make this episode after seeing a well-known business coach declare his “brand new groundbreaking framework” that was going to be a game changer for coaches everywhere. And when it turned out to basically be "human connection," I wanted to cry. Because human connection is what I have been preaching and teaching for years. So naturally, I had to get on the mic and talk about it!In this episode I'm going back to my roots and talking about how being an actor, a yoga teacher, and a coach all have key things in common — they all have to do with human connection and even more so, human transformation. And that's really the heart of what I want you to understand: transformation isn't just what happens when someone becomes your client. It's what has to happen throughout the entire sales process. The way someone decides to invest in working with you, the moment they say yes, the trust they build with you before they ever hand over a dollar — all of that is transformation. And it only happens through real human connection. I'm making the full case for why that is your single biggest business advantage right now, getting specific about what genuinely high-touch looks like behind the scenes during a launch, and talking about the long game — why the person who didn't say yes at your last launch isn't a lost cause, why consistent human follow-up is where real revenue lives, and why treating your business like a series of transactions instead of a series of relationships is the thing that's actually killing results.In this episode, I talk about:Why live launching and high-ticket offers are far from dead — and what's actually driving results for the businesses that are thriving right nowWhy transformation doesn't begin when someone becomes your client — it begins the moment they enter your worldWhat genuinely high-touch looks like behind the scenes during a launch — and what I'm doing every single day while one is unfoldingWhy the person who didn't say yes at your last event or launch isn't gone — and how to stay in relationship with them until they're readyThe long game of human follow-up and why it's where real revenue livesThe crucial difference between cold outreach and warm human connection — and why one builds a business while the other doesn'tIf you're a coach, teacher, or service-based business owner who has been second-guessing your model because of all the noise out there, this episode is your permission slip to stop listening to it — and your roadmap for doubling down on what actually works.

In this episode, Alissa explores how highly sensitive people can keep their “channel clear” so they can access their intuition, creativity, and natural gifts.While sensitivity comes with powerful strengths—like empathy, intuition, and emotional intelligence—many HSPs feel disconnected from those gifts because their inner channel is cluttered by outside noise, old conditioning, and self-doubt.Alissa shares three ways to clear that channel so you can trust yourself more deeply, connect with your authentic perspective, and stop letting insecurity or comparison block your natural strengths.What You'll Learn:Why consuming too much outside input can disconnect you from your intuitionHow shadow patterns like overthinking, perfectionism, and people-pleasing block sensitive strengthsWhy doing deeper inner work helps highly sensitive people access their giftsHow to develop your own perspective instead of constantly outsourcing answersWhat it means to “keep your channel clear” so your authenticity and wisdom can come throughUncover your sneaky internal belief that's stopping you from being your most confident self TAKE The FREE Shadow Archetype Quiz NOWLearn my 6-step process for managing & neutralizing your triggers as an HSP in our FREE UN-Botherable Workshop!Join the Not Too Sensitive Club

How well do you really know yourself as a leader? And what might your team see that you simply cannot see on your own? In this episode of Becoming Unshakable, I sit down with pharmaceutical executive and entrepreneur Hope Mueller to explore the powerful role self-awareness plays in leadership, decision-making, and building a life that reflects who you truly are. Hope has spent more than twenty-five years in the pharmaceutical industry, working in a field driven by purpose, science, and the promise of improving patients' lives. Alongside that demanding career, she also built Hunter Street, her own publishing company, helping aspiring authors bring their ideas and stories into the world. Her journey reflects a deeper question many professionals eventually face: Who are we beyond our job titles? During our conversation, Hope shared the moment that pushed her to rethink the future. Watching several successful women in her network suddenly lose long-held executive roles forced her to confront a difficult truth. For many leaders, identity becomes tightly tied to the work they do. Hope made a conscious decision to build something beyond that identity so she would always have a next chapter waiting for her. We explore the idea that becoming unshakable is not a final destination. Hope describes it as a process of stepping into your full self, understanding what truly matters to you, and accepting the person you are becoming along the way. That kind of clarity often arrives slowly, through reflection, experience, and sometimes a few hard lessons. One of those lessons came when Hope realized she had pushed herself too far. After years of believing she had mastered work-life balance, she found herself dealing with an injury caused by overwork. That moment forced her to redesign her personal leadership toolkit. Today, she protects time for herself before the workday begins, whether that means journaling, calling her mom, or simply enjoying a quiet cup of coffee outside. Another powerful part of our discussion focuses on the limits of service leadership. Hope explains how being endlessly helpful can eventually backfire in senior leadership roles. When leaders take on too many operational tasks, others may stop seeing them as strategic thinkers. Learning where to step back and where to engage becomes an essential leadership skill. We discuss the role of support systems in building resilience. Hope credits both her husband and a trusted circle of colleagues for helping her maintain perspective and balance. Becoming unshakable, as we discuss in this episode, rarely happens in isolation. The people who challenge us, support us, and offer honest perspectives often make the biggest difference. By the end of this conversation, two powerful ideas stand out. First, every leader needs the courage to pause and reflect on where they are heading. Second, no one builds resilience alone. Whether through mentors, partners, or trusted friends, the voices around us help us see what we cannot see ourselves. So as you listen to this conversation, consider your own leadership journey. Are you creating space for reflection? And who are the people helping you see the blind spots that could shape your next chapter?

News about the United States always seems to be bad news, and that isn't random. But there's a lot of good news in the U.S. economy too, including incredible strengths and advantages that date back through the country's history. Dan Sullivan and Mark Young lay out the first five of ten positive facts about living in the U.S. and explain why the media sticks to negativity. Part two coming soon!  SHOW NOTES: The oldest part of our brains recognizes threats to life when we hear certain kinds of bad news. The U.S. is the only country that's been growing over the last 15 decades. Over the last 150 years, wars destroyed the economies of many countries. A lot of Americans don't realize just how dynamic and diversified the U.S. economy is.  Sixty percent of the Canadian economy is dependent upon trade with the United States. Donald Trump has proven that people will pay a price to get into the American economy. The U.S. has the biggest consumer market that's ever existed. How people buy things in the U.S. is completely different from how they buy things in other countries. Donald Trump generates patriotism in other countries. The academic and bureaucratic classes in the U.S. have more in common with people in other countries. RESOURCES: Driven by Douglas Brackmann "Geometry" For Staying Cool & Calm by Dan Sullivan

One of the biggest mistakes experienced entrepreneurs make is forgetting what it felt like to start from zero. In this episode of The Level Up Podcast, Paul Alex breaks down what he calls the beginner's advantage—and why great leaders never lose empathy for the people just starting their journey. As you gain experience, knowledge, and success, it becomes easy to overlook how intimidating the first steps can be for new entrepreneurs. But the leaders who truly change lives are the ones who remember the struggle, simplify the path, and guide others with patience. Mentorship isn't about showing how smart you are—it's about helping others take clear, actionable steps toward their first wins. In this episode, you'll learn: Why forgetting your early struggles can weaken your leadership How simplifying complex strategies helps beginners take action Why celebrating small foundational wins builds confidence and loyalty How patient mentorship creates long-term influence and legacy True leadership isn't just about your own success—it's about how many people you help rise along the way. Because when you guide others through the same path you once walked, you don't just build businesses—you change lives. Your Network is your NETWORTH!

This powerful exploration of Acts 26 reveals how God transforms our greatest obstacles into launching pads for His purposes. 

A @Christadelphians Video: [Inspiring] Have you ever wondered why there are so many different English versions of the Bible? Is it simply a matter of preference, or is there something more profound at work? In this thought-provoking and insightful exposition, we begin a new series exploring the wonderful, yet complex, world of Bible translation. This opening episode tackles the fundamental challenge: we often approach Scripture like a mathematical equation, seeking a single, definitive answer. However, language is far more nuanced and beautiful than that.Join us as we reveal why translation is so complicated and why this reality should inspire humility and a deeper appreciation for God's Word. We'll look at the Hebrew of Genesis 1:1, uncovering hidden details about "the heavens" and the significance of "a beginning." We'll also explore how comparing different translations can unlock powerful connections, like the revealing link between King Saul and the "pomegranate" in 1 Samuel. This is an outstanding foundation for anyone wanting to understand their Bible on a deeper level.**Chapters:**00:00 - Introduction: Why So Many Versions?01:55 - The Core Message: Translation is Complicated04:29 - The Big Idea: Math vs. Language08:07 - Why "I Have Hunger" Doesn't Work10:40 - Genesis 1:1: A Case Study in Complexity15:46 - The Mystery of the "Two Heavens"17:09 - "In a Beginning": The Grammar of Genesis 124:51 - A Translation is a Commentary26:51 - Wisdom from the King James Translators30:45 - The Advantage of Multiple Translations: King Saul's Pomegranate35:25 - Looking Ahead: Translation Philosophy36:53 - Conclusion**Bible Verses:**

Giving Satan the Advantage

What if the person who transformed your entire career is also someone you haven't spoken to in seven years? In this episode, Ryan Ellefsen shares how he helps businesses take credit cards, lower processing fees, and protect their revenue as VP of EasyPay Direct, a merchant services company he recently joined after 20 years in the industry. EasyPay serves coaches, consultants, speakers, and internet marketers,  processing payments for names like Tony Robbins, Grant Cardone, and Frank Kern across 34 US locations. Ryan built his career expertise under the mentorship of Steve Thorne, CEO of NMR (National Marketing Resources), eventually rising from Processing Manager to VP and co-building what became Platinum Payment Systems. Today, Ryan is known for his transparent, relationship-first approach to merchant services — always insisting on a face-to-face conversation before onboarding any client, no matter how small. Ryan honors Steve Thorne, the man who hired him at $70,000/year when he was making $23,400 as a Spanish teacher in Utah. Phil Smith introduced Ryan to Steve while both were in an MBA program, and Steve believed in Ryan enough to bring him into NMR, where Ryan spent 10 transformative years climbing from Processing Manager all the way to VP. Under Steve's roof, Ryan co-built a merchant processing company that eventually merged into Platinum Payment Systems.   [00:03:41] Reconnected Through a Mutual Friend Kevin and Ryan originally met years ago at Genius Network Recently reconnected via mutual friend Anthony Simon through an email introduction Neither realized in the intro email that they already knew each other [00:03:51] VP of EasyPay Direct: What He Does and Who He Serves Merchant services company helping businesses accept credit cards and get funding Specializes in the coach, consultant, speaker, author, and internet marketing space Serves major names like Tony Robbins, Grant Cardone, and Frank Kern Recently joined after 20 years in the industry; he and CEO Brad Weimert were friendly competitors for two decades [00:05:04] EasyPay vs. PayPal: The Key Difference PayPal is better for card-present transactions like retail stores EasyPay specializes in card-not-present, high-risk: coaching, big-ticket packages, phone sales High-risk means future fulfillment over time, high-ticket pricing, sold over the phone Premier company in the country for internet marketing and coaching businesses [00:07:55] What Inspires Ryan Most: Giving People a Fair Deal Has an affinity for the person being ripped off by hidden fees Philosophy: everybody can win — a 10-year relationship beats a 6-month windfall Sometimes helps small businesses where he makes almost nothing — and loves it Tries to learn something from every single conversation [00:13:02] How EasyPay Lowers Your Rates Over Time EasyPay has its own gateway to manage multiple banks from a single login Uses Level 3 Advantage and tokenization to lower interchange rates Can lower interchange by up to 75 basis points (0.75%) EasyPay's margin stays fixed; all savings go directly to the client [00:18:40] The Industry's Dirty Secret: Watch Your Statements Processors can legally raise your rates by burying notice in statement fine print Not calling to cancel is considered acceptance of new terms They raise rates 5 –10 basis points at a time. Visa changes rates every six months and they go up more often than down [00:26:15] Started as a Spanish Teacher Making $23,400 a Year Graduated college, went on a church mission to South America from 1991 to 1993 Came back, majored in Spanish teaching, played sports, had fun First teaching job in Utah in 1997 paid $23,400/year Started a carpet cleaning business in school that eventually made 10x his teaching salary [00:28:00] Phil Smith Introduces Ryan to Steve Thorne Met Phil Smith in his MBA cohort Phil introduced him to Steve Thorne, CEO of NMR (National Marketing Resources) in Kearney, Missouri Steve hired Ryan as Processing Manager at $70,000/year nearly triple his teaching salary His bonus in year two was bigger than his entire teaching salary [00:29:05] Ten Years at NMR: From Manager to VP Progressed from Processing Manager → Director → Managing Director → VP NMR and sister company PMI did infomercial production for Dean Graziosi, Anthony Morrison, and others Did hundreds of millions in coaching and big-ticket event sales Ryan pitched starting a merchant processing company; Steve challenged him to make it a million-dollar idea. [00:30:31] When a Great Relationship Fractures Ryan and Steve haven't spoken in seven years following a lawsuit Ended in a no-fault settlement — neither side got what they wanted Ryan still considers Steve one of the best, most honest people he's ever met "If he ever catches wind of this podcast… I would welcome that" [00:35:20] What Steve's Mentorship Still Looks Like Today After the split, became VP of a digital marketing company within 6 months Core lesson from Steve: how to treat people with genuine sincerity "Nobody who's ever met Steve Thorn dislikes Steve Thorn" Attributes his versatility and confidence across industries entirely to Steve's tutelage   KEY QUOTES "My philosophy is that everybody can win. If you can set up a relationship that makes some money for the next 10 years, that's way better than a relationship that makes you a whole bunch of money for six months." - Ryan Ellefsen "Steve Thorn transformed my life. If he hadn't given me that opportunity, I wouldn't be where I am today and I wouldn't have what I have today." - Ryan Ellefsen "Nobody who's ever met Steve Thorn dislikes Steve Thorn. He's sincere. He's a good guy and he just knows how to treat people. And so I learned a lot from him in that regard." - Ryan Ellefsen CONNECT WITH RYAN ELLEFSEN

The war in Iran has entered its second week, and the Trump administration is fighting on two fronts: the physical battlefield and the narrative one. Most Americans expected U.S. firepower to dominate, and it has. Seven American service members have died so far, but Iran has suffered far heavier losses in lives and materiel. Even those surprised by the damage Iran managed to inflict on U.S. allies can see the basic reality: Tehran is outmatched. The real question was never whether the United States had superior force. The question was whether the administration could sustain support long enough to translate force into victory.

AI is more than just another tool for lawyers. It may fundamentally change how law firms make money. In episode #607 of the Lawyerist Podcast, Stephanie Everett talks with legal industry analyst Jordan Furlong about the shifting economics of law practice and what happens as AI begins doing work lawyers once billed for.  Jordan explains why the traditional law firm model built on billable hours and human effort is starting to break down as legal workflows become automated. Together, they explore how AI may shift lawyers away from producing legal work and toward supervising systems, validating outcomes, and delivering the one thing machines cannot easily replicate: judgment under uncertainty.  The future of law practice may depend less on expertise and more on qualities machines struggle to replicate such as judgment, character, and the ability to guide clients through uncertainty. The conversation also explores why hourly billing may no longer make sense in an AI-driven world, how firms can rethink pricing around outcomes and client experience, and why smaller firms may adapt more quickly.  If the billable hour fades and AI begins handling the routine “widgets” of legal work, the real question becomes what a lawyer's value is now, and how firms should prepare for what comes next.  Listen to our previous episodes on Artificial Intelligence and the Future of Legal Practice.  #601 – Beyond Chatbots: Using Agentic AI in Law Firm Intake, with Matt Spiegel Apple | Spotify | LTN  #590 – Innovating Without Overwhelm: Practical AI Tips for Lawyers, with Graydon Trusler Apple | Spotify | LTN  #587 – Future-Proofing Your Firm in the Age of AI, with Jack Newton Apple | Spotify | LTN  #577 – Rethinking Law Firm Growth in the Age of AI, with Sam Harden Apple | Spotify | LTN   Links from the episode:  https://jordanfurlong.substack.com.    Have thoughts about today's episode?

A @Christadelphians Video: [Inspiring] Have you ever wondered why there are so many different English versions of the Bible? Is it simply a matter of preference, or is there something more profound at work? In this thought-provoking and insightful exposition, we begin a new series exploring the wonderful, yet complex, world of Bible translation. This opening episode tackles the fundamental challenge: we often approach Scripture like a mathematical equation, seeking a single, definitive answer. However, language is far more nuanced and beautiful than that.Join us as we reveal why translation is so complicated and why this reality should inspire humility and a deeper appreciation for God's Word. We'll look at the Hebrew of Genesis 1:1, uncovering hidden details about "the heavens" and the significance of "a beginning." We'll also explore how comparing different translations can unlock powerful connections, like the revealing link between King Saul and the "pomegranate" in 1 Samuel. This is an outstanding foundation for anyone wanting to understand their Bible on a deeper level.**Chapters:**00:00 - Introduction: Why So Many Versions?01:55 - The Core Message: Translation is Complicated04:29 - The Big Idea: Math vs. Language08:07 - Why "I Have Hunger" Doesn't Work10:40 - Genesis 1:1: A Case Study in Complexity15:46 - The Mystery of the "Two Heavens"17:09 - "In a Beginning": The Grammar of Genesis 124:51 - A Translation is a Commentary26:51 - Wisdom from the King James Translators30:45 - The Advantage of Multiple Translations: King Saul's Pomegranate35:25 - Looking Ahead: Translation Philosophy36:53 - Conclusion**Bible Verses:**

The firms that win with AI in this cycle won't be the ones with the best models. They'll be the ones with the best data.   My Demo Day podcast/YouTube guest today is Michael Mandel, co-founder and CEO of CompStak.   Key takeaway: clean data is the moat - AI is the multiplier.   CompStak spent 14 years crowdsourcing lease and sales comps from nearly 50,000 brokers and research professionals. That foundation is what makes their AI tools actually useful rather than just impressive.   The practical applications worth knowing about: natural language search across 1.3 million lease comps, AI-powered rent estimations weighted by hundreds of comparable deals, and dynamic market narratives that replace what used to take an analyst team days to produce.   For institutional players, the real value is portfolio benchmarking - seeing whether your rents, concessions, and lease positioning are above or below market. Not against your own assumptions, but against actual comp data.   Coming in 2026: enterprise clients will be able to plug CompStak data directly into their own internal platforms, and a new prospecting tool for tenant rep brokers that surfaces opportunities based on upcoming lease expirations and tenant growth patterns.   ***   At GowerCrowd, we are bringing the most advanced AI tools to our clients for both capital formation - but across other operational verticals too (like acquisitions).

In this gloriously unhinged deep‑dive into the Badlands of advantage play Blackjack, host Mike AP sits down with Chris and Steve for Part 3 of their marathon four‑hour blackjack saga. What starts as a chat about obscure deviations quickly spirals into a full‑blown AP therapy session: bankroll trauma, emotional damage, tribal‑casino war stories, Reddit bans, ploppy encounters, and the eternal truth that blackjack is basically a never‑ending boxing match where the casino is a heavyweight assassin and you're… well… you.The trio break down the real AP lifestyle — the wins, the losses, the “I just lost a house in one shoe” moments, the existential 2 a.m. parking‑lot stare‑downs, and the weird joy of using a deviation you practiced for months. They roast bad games, bad advice, bad risk‑of‑ruin math, and bad casino behavior. They also pitch a heartfelt recruitment ad for women APs (“please, for the love of God, email us”), share tales of side‑bet degeneracy, and explain why giving up your ID too early is the AP equivalent of tattooing your SSN on your forehead.If you love blackjack, advantage play, card counting, casino psychology, EV nerdery, and stories from the trenches, this episode is your buffet.
