FILE 7. SPHERES OF INFLUENCE AND FAILED NEGOTIATIONS. GUEST AUTHOR SEAN MCMEEKIN. During 1940 negotiations in Berlin, Hitler attempted to align the Soviets with the Axis powers, but talks failed due to Stalin's insistence on expanding influence into Finland and the Balkans. Consequently, Hitler decided to invade Russia to break their economic stranglehold, while Soviet leadership simultaneously began preparing their own military deployments for a future war with Germany,.1931

In this episode of the Source Clarity Podcast, I talk about something that quietly changes everything: space. I share how creating space in your mind, your body, your calendar, and your emotional world is one of the most powerful ways to align with your destiny. When we create space, we stop forcing, pushing, and overthinking — and we allow clarity, intuition, and right timing to meet us naturally.Space is where truth reveals itself. Space is where alignment happens. And space is often the missing ingredient between where you are and what you're meant for.If you've been feeling stuck, rushed, or disconnected from your deeper knowing, this episode will gently remind you that alignment doesn't come from doing more — it comes from allowing more room for what's already trying to find you.Ready to build the foundation of intuitive mastery? Join our free Access Your Intuition: Workshop | https://nicky-moriarty.mykajabi.com/accessyourintuitionworkshopJoin our early bird waitlist for Intuition Level One | https://nicky-moriarty.mykajabi.com/intuitionlevelonewaitlistSpecial Thank You Gift for ReviewsWe're so grateful for your reviews — they help this message reach the people who need it.

What if the reason your goals take so long isn't strategy, but identity? In this episode, I explain why goals are hard to reach when they do not match your identity. After more than 30 years of coaching financial advisors, I have seen that trying to change yourself usually fails. Creating a new version of yourself is easier and leads to faster results. When who you are lines up with what you want, progress feels more natural. I share how I built a clear 10-year personal and business vision during my sabbatical. By writing a story about my future self and defining that person's habits, beliefs, and standards, I gained clarity on who I needed to become and how to start acting that way now.

Kyleigh Tolman and Keaton Ross are the powerhouse sister duo behind Klever Kidz Academy in rural Southeast Oklahoma. With three centers and over 300 children served, Kyleigh and Keaton have built something deeply rooted in family, community, and intentional leadership.   During their chat with Kris, they share how they've infused fun, core values, and heart into their culture, from heart-shaped tattoos with their leadership team to parent survival kits and walkout-proof staff meetings. They also open up about enrollment challenges in rural areas, personal development routines, and how finding the right community has shaped their success. This episode is a playbook in purpose-driven leadership and the impact of building a strong internal culture in early education.   Key Takeaways: [4:48] Kyleigh started Klever Kidz Academy in 2011, and Keaton joined in 2023; together, they now lead three centers serving over 290 children. [6:32] As co-owners and sisters, they divide responsibilities based on strengths and have found a rhythm that balances business and family. [8:32] Kyleigh shares the origin of the Klever Kidz name and her early passion for creating a safe, loving environment for children. [11:10] The sisters share personal insights about their families and the importance of maintaining a supportive work-life balance.

Are you searching for a way to respond to these times that makes you feel empowered, without getting pulled into the mire? I have been praying about this myself, and guess who answered my prayer: St. Mary Magdalene! She reminded me that even during the darkest times, when all hope is lost, keep showing up and doing what is yours to do! In this episode, I share my own personal journey of navigating these times, and how connecting with Mary Magdalene has been like finding a Lighthouse in a storm. I also share how YOU can connect with this powerful saint for support and guidance during these turbulent times. And if you want to be mentored by Mary Magdalene during this year of change, click here to find out more about her Inner Circle Message & Mentoring Program.   Key Learnings: 1) I have been fasting from the news, mostly to guard my inner peace and nervous system, but the news of the murder of Renee Good found me anyway. I have good friends who live in Minneapolis, and this could have easily been them. In truth, it could have been me too. But how do I respond to this? I don't want to add to the fear, anger and despair already present. That is when a miracle happened. 2) Like a lightning bolt in my mind, Mary Magdalene made her presence known to me. It was then that I realized that HER energy was the one to follow during this dark time. Mary Magdalene witnessed the worst of the worst, a heartbreaking nightmare that none of us can imagine enduring…and yet she still showed up on Easter morning, willing to do whatever she could. THAT is the energy to follow this year. 3) When I realized how much Mary Magdalene could help ME, I knew I had to make her energy available to other women like me who wanted to feel empowered without falling into the narrative, who wanted to receive higher guidance about her path from Mary Magdalane herself. And that is why I created Mary Magdalene's Inner Circle Message & Mentoring Program. It is limited to just six women so that you receive in-depth messages and guidance each month.

AI in medicine is best understood as a powerful tool and a conditional partner that can enhance care when tightly supervised by clinicians, but it becomes a problem when used as a replacement, deployed without oversight, or embedded in biased and opaque systems. Whether it functions more as a partner or a problem depends on how health systems design, regulate, and integrate it into real clinical workflows.​ Where AI Works Well Decision support and diagnosis: AI can read imaging, ECGs, and lab patterns with very high accuracy, helping detect cancers, heart disease, and other conditions earlier and reducing some diagnostic errors.​ Workflow and documentation: Tools that draft visit notes, summarize records, and route messages can cut administrative burden and free up clinician time for patients.​ Patient monitoring and triage: Algorithms can watch vital signs or wearable data to flag deterioration, triage symptoms online, and guide patients through care pathways, which is especially valuable with clinician shortages.​ Risks and Problems Errors, over-reliance, and "automation bias": Studies show clinicians sometimes follow incorrect AI recommendations even when the errors are detectable, which can lead to worse decisions than if AI were not used.​ Bias and inequity: If training data underrepresent certain groups, AI can systematically misdiagnose or undertreat them, amplifying existing health disparities.​ Trust, explainability, and liability: Black-box systems can undermine shared decision-making when neither doctor nor patient can understand or challenge a recommendation, and they raise hard questions about who is responsible when harm occurs.​ Impact on the Doctor–Patient Relationship Potential partner: By handling routine documentation and data crunching, AI can give clinicians more time for conversation, empathy, and shared decisions, supporting more person-centered care.​ Potential barrier: If AI outputs dominate visits or generate long lists of differential diagnoses directly to patients, it can increase anxiety, fragment communication, and weaken relational trust.​ How To Keep AI a Partner, Not a Problem Keep humans in the loop: Use AI as a second reader or coach, not a final decision-maker; clinicians should retain authority to accept, modify, or reject suggestions.​ Demand transparency and evaluation: Health systems should validate tools locally, monitor performance across different populations, and disclose AI use to patients in clear language.​ Align incentives with patient interests: Regulation, reimbursement, and malpractice rules should reward safe, equitable use of AI—not just speed, volume, or commercial uptake.​ In practice, AI in medicine becomes a true partner when it augments human judgment, enhances relationships, and improves outcomes; it becomes a problem when it is opaque, biased, or allowed to replace clinical responsibility.​        

How do companies turn data into real enterprise value - not just dashboards, pilots, and AI theater? In this episode of Behind The Numbers With Dave Bookbinder, Dave speaks with Ritavan, author of the award-winning book Data Impact and creator of the SLASOG framework, about why so many data and AI initiatives fail - and what leaders should do differently if they actually want results. Rather than chasing buzzwords or “digital transformation” for its own sake, Ritavan challenges leadership teams to treat data as a strategic asset for value creation. He explains how different economic paradigms - from hunter-gatherers to industrial firms to digital natives - shape how organizations extract value, and why legacy companies often underestimate their proprietary advantages. The conversation explores: Why most data and AI programs collapse under groupthink and misaligned incentives How companies like Walmart leveraged physical assets, customer demand, and scale to build defensible data advantages The dangers of chasing “quick wins” instead of compounding value Why KPIs must be context-specific to strategy, not borrowed from competitors Ritavan also breaks down his six-step SLASOG framework - Save, Leverage, Align, Simplify, Optimize, Grow - and shares practical guidance for leadership teams on aligning talent, culture, and first-principles thinking around long-term value creation. If your data strategy feels like “spray and pray,” this episode will help you identify where to start, how to uncover asymmetric advantages, and how to think about data the way investors and buyers do. About Our Guest: Ritavan is an entrepreneurial technology leader and over the past decade he has built and scaled data-driven solutions that have impacted billions of euros. He has authored peer-reviewed papers, given invited keynotes & workshops at global conferences, and holds an international patent. Ritavan is known for his first principles approach to data-driven value creation across industries. https://ritavan.com/ https://www.amazon.com/Data-Impact-businesses-LEVERAGE-SIMPLIFY/dp/178133921X/ About the Host: Dave Bookbinder is known as an expert in business valuation and he is the person that business owners and entrepreneurs reach out to when they need to know what their most important assets are worth. Known as a collaborative adviser, Dave has served thousands of client companies of all sizes and industries.    Dave is the author of two #1 best-selling books about the impact of human capital (PEOPLE!) on the valuation of a business enterprise called The NEW ROI: Return On Individuals & The NEW ROI: Going Behind The Numbers.    He's on a mission to change the conversation about how the accounting world recognizes the value of people's contributions to a business enterprise, and to quantify what every CEO on the planet claims: “Our people are this company's most valuable asset.” Dave's book, A Valuation Toolbox for Business Owners and Their Advisors: Things Every Business Owner Should Know, was recognized as a top new release in Business and Valuation and is designed to provide practical insights and tools to help understand what really drives business value, how to prepare for an exit, and just make better decisions. He's also the host of the highly rated Behind The Numbers With Dave Bookbinder business podcast which is enjoyed in more than 100 countries.  

How does a clear sense of purpose turn good intentions into faithful forward movement? In this episode of Money Made Faithful, John explores the vital connection between vision and mission, and how to align your plans and progress to where God is leading.  Drawing from Scripture, practical wisdom, and the realities of life’s detours, John invites listeners to clarify their purpose, take intentional steps, and translate conviction into action. With tools like the SMART goal framework and the encouragement of trusted accountability, this conversation helps turn clear vision into faithful mission, movement and lasting progress. In this episode, John discusses:  The importance of aligning mission with vision so financial goals move from intention to action Why clarity and alignment matter more than speed when taking faithful financial steps How SMART goals help translate vision into specific, actionable, and time-bound progress The role of accountability and “truth tellers” in staying focused and faithful Learning to adapt when circumstances change while staying committed to God’s greater plan Key Takeaways: Vision shows where God is leading, but mission determines how we faithfully walk toward that future, one intentional step at a time. Alignment brings clarity to decisions, even when the process feels uncomfortable or outside familiar patterns. SMART goals provide a practical framework for turning prayerful intention into measurable, courageous action. Sharing your mission with a trusted, faith-filled person strengthens accountability, invites prayer, and guards against drifting off course. Detours and obstacles do not cancel the vision; they refine it and teach us to remain faithful, flexible, and focused on God’s direction. “This mission step is that set of faithful and intentional actions & directions that connect today and the actions you're taking to the future God's inviting you into.” CLICK ON THE LINKS BELOW FOR MORE MONEY MADE FAITHFUL!

In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Yusuf sits down with Larry Kesslin, author of The Joy Molecule, to unpack why joy is not something you chase, it's something you align with.

Meaningful. Beautiful. Intimate.Three simple words - yet they shaped an entire moment in time.In today's episode, “Three Words Shaped My Birthday Celebration; Here's Why They Matter For You,” Jacquette shares how these words became the foundation for her celebration. They weren't just a theme; they were an anchor; a beacon of clarity that guided every choice she made. And in the process, they did far more than help her plan a party. They made her life feel easier, more coherent, and more aligned.She invites listeners to choose their own guiding words, not to dictate what they should do, but to illuminate how they want to feel. When you get clear on that, your decisions begin to filter themselves in surprising and powerful ways.

Beloved,Are your affirmations not manifesting?

In this episode, I'm sharing the real story behind why I wrote Soulfire, what Spirit asked of me, what it took to birth it, and why this book feels bigger than anything I've ever created.   If you've ever felt called to something more… If you know you're here for a soul mission but traditional paths don't fit… If you've tried following the “right” strategies and still felt misaligned… This conversation is for you.   In this session, I open up about my journey as a spiritual entrepreneur, the gaps I saw in the business world for light leaders, and why Soulfire was co-created as a coded activation, not just a book. This work bridges spirituality and business, soul and strategy, inner alignment and outer success.   You'll hear how Spirit led every step, why fifth-dimensional business follows different rules, and how soul alignment, not hustle, became the foundation of everything I built.   This is an invitation to lead differently. To build differently. To remember why you came here. If Soulfire is calling you, trust that nudge.

Are you tired of your life looking good on paper, but not feeling good on the inside? Have you tried all the advice from all the experts, only to find yourself frustrated, exhausted, and STILL not where you want to be? If you are tired of feeling like you are pushing a boulder uphill and are ready for another way… this episode is for you! In this episode, I show you WHY striving is the exact opposite thing to do to create the life you want, and how the Sacred Success Method replaces striving with aligning! And if you are ready to align your goal with your soul, click here to schedule a Miracle Meeting to explore which type of support is right for you!     Key Learnings: 1) Women who lead tend to follow the advice of experts, which might be good advice, but not necessarily the right advice for them. This leads to feeling frustrated, confused and eventually exhausted. There IS a better way! 2) When you ALIGN your goal with your soul, your success becomes inevitable. The Universe no longer has any resistance from you and you start receiving the opportunities that were there all along. 3) The Sacred Success Method is a proven path that I use with my clients. It has helped them go from low six-figures to over seven figures in their business, go from wanting to write a book to being a best-selling author, and even being asked to speak on stages around the world!   "When you ALIGN your goal with your soul, success is inevitable!"

Without a guest, the conversation focuses on real experiences, observations, and lessons from working directly with finance teams, CFOs, and operators who are navigating AI adoption day to day.Paul and Glenn discuss how individuals have become far more comfortable using AI tools in their own work, while companies as a whole have moved much more slowly. Topics include ongoing data quality problems, hesitation around governance and security, and why many organizations still struggle to integrate AI into core systems and workflows. They also share their thoughts on notable developments from 2025, including OpenAI's shift toward consumer use, Microsoft Copilot's mixed results, Google Gemini's rapid improvement, and Nvidia's continued growth.In this episode, you will discover:How AI adoption differs between individuals and organizationsWhy poor data quality still limits many finance teamsWhat recent changes from OpenAI, Microsoft, Google, and Nvidia suggestWhere Microsoft Copilot works well today and where it falls shortWhy automation and basic app-building are becoming more importantPaul and Glenn share concrete examples from Excel, Outlook, reporting, and close processes. They also emphasize that banning AI use is no longer realistic and that clear guidelines matter more than strict restrictions.Join hosts Glenn and Paul as they unravel the complexities of AI in finance.Follow Glenn:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/gbhopperiiiFollow Paul:LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/thefpandaguyFollow QFlow.AI:Website - https://bit.ly/4i1EkjgFuture Finance is sponsored by QFlow.ai, the strategic finance platform solving the toughest part of planning and analysis: B2B revenue.

Recorded at: SGF's First Gathering at Polyface (2021) In this episode, Jordan Green shares the foundational mindset and practical decision-making required to become a true farm builder. Recorded at SGF's first-ever Gathering at Polyface, the conversation reflects on the realities of building a farm business through economic uncertainty, market shifts, and long-term growth challenges. Drawing from his experience as a Polyface apprentice, Marine Corps veteran, and diversified farmer alongside his wife Laura, Jordan explores how focus, simplification, and resilience shaped their farming journey—from the late-2000s economic crisis through the COVID-era disruptions. This episode emphasizes building systems that endure rather than chasing short-term wins.

Doing more, faster, better with less has become the permanent setting in modern business. Post-pandemic, with tighter budgets, higher customer expectations, and AI speeding up competitors, leaders can't rely on "the boss with the whiteboard marker" to magically produce genius ideas on demand. You need a repeatable innovation system that draws out creativity from the whole organisation—especially the people closest to customers. Below is a practical nine-step innovation process leaders can run again and again, so innovation becomes a habit—not a lucky accident.  How do leaders define "success" before trying to innovate? Innovation gets messy fast unless everyone is crystal clear on what "good" looks like. Step One is Visualisation: define the goal, the "should be" case, and what success looks like in concrete terms—customer outcomes, cost, quality, time, risk, or growth. In practice, this is where executives at firms like Toyota or Unilever would translate strategy into a shared target: "Reduce onboarding time from 14 days to 3," or "Increase repeat purchase by 10% in APAC by Q4." Compare that with many SMEs where the goal is vague ("be more innovative") and the team sprints hard in random directions. Do now (mini-summary): Write a one-sentence "should be" target and 3 measurable success indicators (KPI, timeline, customer impact). Align the team before you chase ideas. What's the fastest way to gather the right facts without killing creativity? Great ideas come from great inputs, and Step Two is Fact Finding—collect data before opinions. Leaders should separate "facts" from "feelings" by digging into who/what/when/where/why/how. This is where many organisations discover their measurement systems are weak—or worse, wrong. In the US, you might lean on product analytics, A/B testing, and voice-of-customer tools. In Japan, you'll often combine frontline observation (genba thinking) with structured reporting—useful, but sometimes filtered by hierarchy. Either way, don't judge yet. Just get the evidence: customer complaints, churn reasons, sales cycle delays, defect rates, staff turnover, and time wasted in approvals. Do now (mini-summary): Collect 10 hard facts (numbers, patterns, examples) and 10 "customer voice" quotes. No solutions yet—just reality. How do you frame the real problem so you don't solve the wrong thing? The way you state the problem determines the quality of the ideas you'll get. Step Three is Problem (or Opportunity) Finding: clarify what's actually holding you back, where resources leak, and what success constraints exist. This is harder than it sounds. Ask five people the main problem and you'll get eight opinions—especially in matrixed multinationals or fast-moving startups. Use smart problem framing techniques: "How might we…?", "What's the bottleneck?", "If we fixed one thing this quarter, what would move the needle?" Compare Japan vs the US here: US teams may jump to action quickly; Japan teams may seek consensus early. Both can miss the root cause if the framing is sloppy. Do now (mini-summary): Rewrite your problem three ways: customer-impact, process-bottleneck, and cost-leakage. Pick the clearest, most actionable version. How do you run ideation so the loud people don't crush the good ideas? Step Four is Idea Finding, and the golden rule is: no judgement, chase volume, and do it in silence. This is where most leaders accidentally sabotage innovation—someone blurts an idea, the "bolshie" confident voices start critiquing, and the timid thinkers shut down. Silent idea generation (think brainwriting rather than brainstorming) helps deeper thinkers contribute and reduces status bias—critical in hierarchical cultures and in teams where junior staff defer to seniority. If you want better ideas, ask the people closest to the coal face: new hires, customer support, frontline sales, and the group that best matches your buyers' profile. Often they see problems the C-suite never touches. Do now (mini-summary): Run 10 minutes of silent brainwriting: each person writes 10 ideas. No talking. Then collect and cluster ideas by theme. How do leaders choose the best ideas without politics or "rank wins"? Step Five is Solution Finding—now you're allowed to judge, but you must judge fairly. The risk here is predictable: seniority dominates, juniors defer, and the "easy consensus" becomes a polite rubber stamp. Use a structured selection method: score ideas against agreed criteria (impact, effort, speed, risk, customer value). Borrow from frameworks like Stage-Gate, Lean Startup (testable hypotheses), and even RICE scoring (Reach, Impact, Confidence, Effort). Compare sectors: in B2B, feasibility and implementation risk often weigh more; in consumer markets, speed and customer delight can dominate. The point is to remove the "who said it" factor. Do now (mini-summary): Build a simple 4-criteria scorecard and rank the top 10 ideas. Make scoring anonymous if hierarchy is distorting decisions. How do you get buy-in and actually execute innovation in the real world? Ideas don't win—execution wins, and Steps Six to Nine turn creativity into results. Step Six is Acceptance Finding: sell the idea internally for time, money, and people. Step Seven is Implementation: define who does what by when, with budget and resources. Step Eight is Follow Up: check progress early so you don't discover the team is zigging when you needed zagging. Step Nine is Evaluation: did it work, was it worth it, and what did we learn? In 2025-era organisations, this is also where AI can help: drafting business cases, mapping risks, creating implementation plans, and summarising learnings—without replacing leadership accountability. Startups might run faster experiments; conglomerates might need governance and change management. Either way, the process keeps you moving. Do now (mini-summary): Assign an owner, set a 30-day milestone, and define the success metric. Review weekly. Capture learnings as you go. Final wrap-up A surprising number of companies still have no shared system for generating ideas—so innovation depends on mood, meetings, or the loudest voice in the room. A repeatable nine-step process creates better ideation, stronger decision-making, and cleaner execution. Run it consistently, and innovation becomes part of your organisational DNA—not a once-a-year workshop. Quick next steps for leaders Pick one business pain point and run Steps 1–4 in a 60-minute session this week. Use silent idea generation to protect the deeper thinkers. Score ideas with a simple rubric to avoid politics. Pilot one idea in 30 days, then evaluate and repeat. FAQs Is brainstorming or brainwriting better for innovation? Brainwriting usually beats brainstorming because it reduces groupthink and status bias. Silent idea generation produces more ideas and more diverse ideas in most teams. How long does the nine-step innovation process take? You can run Steps 1–5 in a half-day and Steps 6–9 over 30–90 days. The timeline depends on complexity, risk, and resources. What if leadership won't support the idea? Treat Step Six like a sales process—build a business case and show trade-offs. If you can't win resources, scale the idea down into a testable pilot.   Author credentials Dr. Greg Story, Ph.D. in Japanese Decision-Making, is President of Dale Carnegie Tokyo Training and Adjunct Professor at Griffith University.

In this episode, Hemy Murugesan shares how her journey through the Isis Ka®️ Practitioner training awakened a level of soul alignment, power, and clarity she never imagined possible. Before joining the container, Hemy was already a trauma-informed spiritual coach, but something felt incomplete, like her soul was still waiting to be remembered. That call came through Goddess Isis herself… and it was undeniable. From healing deep visibility wounds, clearing past life blocks, and learning how to receive divine masculine support, Hemy's experience with the Isis Ka®️ lineage has radically transformed her relationships, business, health, and spiritual gifts. She now channels messages from Isis on the fly (even in the car or shower), offers multidimensional healing programs, and has created a clear, soul-aligned business model, guided every step of the way by the Divine Feminine.  

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services has finalized the 2026 Outpatient Perspective Payment System (OPPS) rule, with most policies taking effect on January 1, 2026. Jenna Stern, Vice President of Regulatory Affairs and Public Policy at Vizient, joins host Carolyn Liptak, Pharmacy Executive Director in Vizient's Center for Pharmacy Practice Excellence, to discuss key updates to payment policies, payment rates, and quality provisions affecting Medicare beneficiaries receiving care in hospital outpatient departments and ambulatory surgical centers.   Guest speaker:    Jenna Stern Vice President of Regulatory Affairs and Public Policy Vizient Host:   Carolyn Liptak, MBA, RPh  Pharmacy Executive Director Vizient  Verified Rx Host   Show Notes: 00:05 — Introduction Announcer welcomes listeners to VerifiedRx. Host Carolyn Liptak, Pharmacy Executive Director at Vizient, introduces the episode focus: the 2026 CMS Outpatient Prospective Payment System (OPPS) Final Rule. Guest: Jenna Stern, VP of Regulatory Affairs and Public Policy at Vizient.   01:12 — Overview of the OPPS Final Rule OPPS sets Medicare payment for most hospital outpatient services. Published annually (typically November), effective January 1. Covers payment rates, policies, quality programs, and compliance requirements. Note: CMS delayed enforcement of hospital price transparency requirements until April 1, 2026.   01:34 — Key Takeaways From the 2026 Final Rule Jenna's high-level insights: Hospitals will continue facing financial pressure in 2026. Modest payment rate increase combined with reimbursement-reducing policies. Expansion of site-neutral payment policies will be particularly impactful. Rule reflects emerging administration priorities shaping future policy.   02:21 — OPPS Payment Rate Update for 2026 CMS finalized a 2.6% OPPS schedule increase factor for hospitals meeting quality reporting requirements.   02:40 — What the 2.6% Increase means Based on: 3% market basket update –0.7% productivity adjustment Results in a modest net increase. Slightly better than the proposed 2.4% increase, though still viewed as inadequate. CMS estimates $8 billion increase in total OPPS payments compared to 2025.   03:37 — 340B Remedy Offset: Background From 2018–2022, CMS paid for 340B drugs at ASP –22.5%. Prior Supreme Court decision from 2022 found that CMS lacked authority to vary rates as finalized in prior rulemaking (e.g., without using drug acquisition cost surveys to inform policy).   04:13 — 340B Remedy Offset in the 2026 Final Rule CMS considered increasing the remedy offset from 0.5% to 2%. Stakeholders strongly opposed the increase due to hospital financial strain.   05:10 — Final Outcome CMS retained the 0.5% offset for 2026. CMS signaled that larger offsets may be proposed for 2027. This marks the first year the remedy offset takes effect,   06:00 — Site-Neutral Payment Policy: What It Is Concept: same service = same payment, regardless of site of care. Hospital concern: policy reduces hospital reimbursement without accounting for site of care differences, patient acuity, overhead, or service complexity.   06:15 — Site-Neutral Expansion in the 2026 Rule CMS expanded site-neutral payment to include drug administration services at excepted off-campus provider-based departments.   07:08 — Financial Impact Reimbursement aligns with Physician Fee Schedule rates. CMS estimates $290 million reduction in outpatient spending for 2026. $220 million of savings accrue directly to Medicare. Not implemented in a budget-neutral manner.   08:14 — Non-Opioid Pain Management Payments Temporary additional payments began January 1, 2025. Authorized under the NO PAIN Act (Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2023).   08:28 — What's New for 2026 CMS finalized the renewal of: 5 drugs 13 medical devices eligible for separate payment in HOPD and ASC settings. Per statue, payments available through December 31, 2027.   09:32 — Process Improvements CMS will allow more frequent consideration of new qualifying products (not limited to annual updates). Quality criteria unchanged; timing flexibility added. CMS released guidance on how stakeholders can engage for inclusion.   10:58 — OPPS Drug Acquisition Cost Survey CMS finalized plans to survey hospitals on acquisition costs for separately payable OPPS drugs.   11:21 — Why CMS Is Advancing the Survey Addresses Supreme Court requirements from prior 340B litigation. Aligns with White House Executive Order on lowering drug prices. Positions CMS to use survey data for 2027 rulemaking.   12:47 — OPPS Packaging Thresholds for 2026 Drugs and biologics: Threshold remains at $140. Diagnostic radiopharmaceuticals: Increased to $655 (from $630). Products below thresholds retain Status Indicator “N” (packaged payment).   13:26 — Why Billing Packaged Drugs Still Matters Even though not separately payable, hospitals must bill for packaged drugs. Billing data feeds cost reports used to calculate future bundled payments. Failure to bill can result in inaccurately low reimbursement.   14:14 — Elimination of the Inpatient-Only (IPO) List CMS finalized a three-year transition to eliminate the IPO list by January 1, 2029.   14:32 — Why This Change Is Significant IPO list historically ensured certain services were provided inpatient only. CMS emphasizes provider judgment in determining site of care. Raises concerns about: Patient safety Payer coverage changes Pressure to move services outpatient   16:28 — ASC Covered Procedure List Expansion CMS expanded the ASC Covered Procedure List. Enables more Medicare covered services to be performed in the ASC settings.   16:48 — Price Transparency: Still a Priority No major overhaul, but continued refinement. CMS exploring new uses of price transparency data beyond patient comparison.   17:46 — Most Critical Policies to Watch Jenna highlights: Modest OPPS payment increase Site-neutral payment expansion 340B remedy offset Drug acquisition cost survey Broader regulatory activity beyond OPPS   18:43 — Available Vizient Resources OPPS Final Rule Summary Government Relations & Public Policy Summaries  Advocacy   19:20 — Closing Carolyn thanks Jenna for her insights.

The new year doesn't require urgency: it requires alignment.In today's episode, I'm joined by Brooke Hemingway, founder of ALIGN Events and mother of six, for a deeply grounding conversation about starting the year with intention instead of pressure. She is one of the most inspirational mamas I know!We explore how giving yourself space in January, slowing down, and choosing the right environments can completely change the trajectory of your year... personally, spiritually, and professionally.This conversation is especially meaningful to me because ALIGN was one of the first rooms that helped shape my own journey. Attending this event years ago planted seeds that eventually transformed my confidence, my career, and my calling.Now, I'm incredibly honored to return to ALIGN as a teacher, leading two fitness experiences at this year's event.In this episode, we talk about:• Why rushing January can disconnect us from what really matters • How to build strong foundations for the year ahead • The power of community and intentional environments • Faith, motherhood, leadership, and alignment • Why ALIGN is more than an event — it's a catalyst✨ ALIGN Event | January 22–25

Our Global Head of Fixed Income Research Andrew Sheets takes a look at multiple indicators that are pointing on the same direction: strong growth for markets and the economy.Read more insights from Morgan Stanley.----- Transcript -----Andrew Sheets: Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Andrew Sheets, Global Head of Fixed Income Research at Morgan Stanley. Today I'm going to talk about an unusual alignment of signs of optimism for the global cyclical backdrop and why these are important to watch. It's Friday, January 9th at 2pm in London. 2026 is now well underway. Forecasting is difficult and a humbling exercise; and 2025 certainly showed that even in a good year for markets, you can have some serious twists and turns. But overall, Morgan Stanley Research still thinks the year ahead will be a positive one, with equities higher and bond yields modestly lower. It's off to an eventful start, certainly, but we think that core message remains in place. But instead of going back again to our forecasts through the year ahead, I wanted to focus instead on a wide variety of different assets that have long been viewed as leading indicators of the global cyclical environment. I think these are important, and what's notable is that they're all moving in the same direction – all indicating a stronger cyclical backdrop. While today's market certainly has some areas of speculative activity and excessive valuations, the alignment of these things suggests something more substantive may be going on. First, Copper prices, which tend to be volatile but economically sensitive, have been rising sharply up about 40 percent in the last year. A key index of non-traded industrial commodities for everything from Glass to Tin, which is useful because it means it's less likely to be influenced by investor activity, well, it's been up 10 percent over the last year. Korean equities, which tend to be highly cyclical and thus have long been viewed by investors as a proxy for global economic optimism, well, they were the best performing major market last year, up 80 percent. Smaller cap stocks, which again, tend to be more economically sensitive, well, they've been outperforming larger ones. And last but not least, Financial stocks in the U.S. and Europe. Again, a sector that tends to be quite economically sensitive. Well, they've been outperforming the broader market and to a pretty significant degree. These are different assets in different regions that all appear to be saying the same thing – that the outlook for global cyclical activity has been getting better and has now actually been doing so for some time. Now, any individual indicator can be wrong. But when multiple indicators all point in the same direction, that's pretty worthy of attention. And I think this ties in nicely with a key message from my colleague, Mike Wilson from Monday's episode; that the positive case for U.S. equities is very much linked to better fundamental activity. Specifically, our view that earnings growth may be stronger than appreciated. Of course, the data will have a say, and if these indicators turn down, it could suggest a weaker economic and cyclical backdrop. But for now, these various cyclical indicators are giving a positive read. If they continue to do so, it may raise more questions around central bank policy and to what extent further rate cuts are consistent with these signs of a stronger global growth backdrop. For now, we think they remain supporting evidence of our core view that this market cycle can still burn hotter before it burns out. Thank you as always, for your time. If you find Thoughts on the Market useful, let us know by leaving a review wherever you listen. And also, please tell a friend or colleague about us today.

January doesn't fail people, pressure does, and that's exactly why most New Year's resolutions crash and burn before February even hits. I've seen the stats, lived the cycle, and learned the lesson the hard way: January is not for domination, it's for direction. In this episode of The Happy Hustle Podcast, I'm breaking down how to build real momentum in the new year using a stupid-simple framework called C.A.L.M and why slow, aligned starts beat all-out sprints every single time.Here's the reality: nearly 80% of people quit their New Year's resolutions by mid-February, and almost half are out by January 19th. That's wild. Not because people are lazy, but because they confuse pressure with progress. January gets overhyped as a performance month when it should actually be about installing rhythms that can last all year. This episode is all about reframing January as a momentum month where you build habits, identity, and consistency that compound into massive results over time.I walk you through why habits beat goals, why systems outperform willpower, and how focusing on rhythm instead of rigid routines can change everything. We dig into the C.A.L.M framework—Create rhythms, Align expectations with reality, Lower the bar to raise consistency, and Measure what matters and how you can apply it immediately to your health, business, relationships, and personal growth. This isn't about doing more. It's about doing what actually sticks.One of the biggest takeaways from this episode is that pressure creates resistance, but rhythm creates results. When you lower the bar just enough to show up consistently, even at 70%, you build identity-based momentum. That momentum fuels confidence, clarity, and long-term discipline. We also talk about why tracking inputs instead of obsessing over outcomes is the real key to sustainable success, especially early in the year.You'll walk away with a practical 30-day operating system you can actually maintain, a new way to think about progress without burning out, and permission to stop comparing your chapter one to someone else's chapter twelve. January doesn't define your year; it programs it. And when you leave this month with momentum instead of exhaustion, everything else becomes easier.If you want to start the year feeling grounded, focused, and energized without burning yourself into the ground, this episode is for you.
