In this episode of the Crisis Lab Podcast, host Kyle King speaks with Tom Sivak, Chief Emergency Manager at Emergency Management One, about the fundamental shift in the crisis management profession from a knowledge economy to an allocation economy. What it reveals: the unsustainable nature of manual information processing in an era of polycrisis and velocity. With emergency management agencies facing chronic understaffing and budgets that demand "more with less," the traditional model of the "Rolodex leader" who holds the entire plan in their head is failing. Sivak argues that trying to manually process the astronomical amount of data in modern crises is no longer a badge of honor, it is a strategic vulnerability. This conversation offers a pragmatic roadmap for operationalizing AI not as a tech trend, but as a survival mechanism. It reflects what modern leadership demands: moving from being the "writer" of every brief to the "editor" of intelligence, building "blue sky" muscle memory so tools work when the pressure mounts, and reclaiming the "gut intuition" that only a human can provide. Show Highlights [04:00] Why AI is the only scalable solution for the "do more with less" mandate [06:00] The "Forethought" Principle: Why using AI only during disasters guarantees failure [08:00] Parallels to 1994: How the industry feared the internet before it became essential [13:00] The maturity model shift: Moving leaders from "writers" to "editors" [17:00] Using efficiency to focus on community resilience and mental health [21:00] The Human Lever: Why algorithms can process data but cannot replace gut intuition [23:00] Why value now comes from directing resources, not retaining facts [25:00] Validating the Emergency Manager's role as the original "Allocation" leader

Hier après-midi, une vive protestation a eu lieu devant la mairie de Port-Louis. Plusieurs marchands ambulants, mécontents de ne pas avoir obtenu de stands pour participer au Night Market, ont exprimé leur colère. Ils ont exigé des explications de la part des autorités municipales et dénoncé de présumées irrégularités dans l'attribution des emplacements. Face à cette contestation, Fawzi Allymun, junior ministre au ministère des Administrations régionales, s'est exprimé. Il a affirmé comprendre l'amertume des marchands et a indiqué qu'il allait s'entretenir avec le lord-maire de Port-Louis. Selon lui, la priorité devait être accordée aux marchands ambulants de la capitale, afin de leur permettre de participer pleinement à cet événement nocturne.

A damning report by the South African Human Rights Commission has revealed systemic racial discrimination in the allocation of state-owned land in Hartbeespoort, North West province. The investigation found that black applicants were consistently sidelined for over a decade, with only one black male granted a lease out of 78 applications. The report states that white occupants retained and even expanded their access to prime land, violating black applicants' rights to equality and dignity.

Everyone wants better returns. Almost no one talks about where those returns should live.You can own all the right investments and still lose thousands a year if they sit in the wrong place.Asset location is one of those quiet advantages that doesn't make headlines but changes everything behind the scenes. It's how you line up your accounts so they work together instead of against each other. The difference isn't theoretical. It's real tax savings, smoother withdrawals, and more flexibility when life doesn't go according to plan.Ari Taublieb, CFP®, shares how investors nearing retirement can rearrange what they already own to keep more of what they've earned. It's not about being clever. It's about being coordinated — so your Roth, IRA, and brokerage accounts each play their role in funding your next chapter.This is the part of retirement planning most people never see, and that's why it matters. The right structure doesn't just build wealth. It buys time, peace, and choice.Listen now to see how small moves today can open more space to live tomorrow.-Advisory services are offered through Root Financial Partners, LLC, an SEC-registered investment adviser.

Markets rise and fall—but not all cycles tell the same story. What do those ups and downs really mean for your investments?Scripture reminds us in Ecclesiastes 3:1, “To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven.” Just as God designed natural cycles—the sun, the tides, the seasons—financial markets also move through cycles. While less predictable, these patterns help us understand where we are in the investing journey and how to prepare wisely for what's ahead.According to Mark Biller, Executive Editor at Sound Mind Investing (SMI), the two most common market cycles are known as bull markets (when prices rise) and bear markets (when prices fall). But within those categories lie two distinct types of trends: cyclical and secular.Cyclical vs. Secular: What's the Difference?“The terms might sound fancy,” says Biller, “but they really describe short-term versus long-term cycles.”Cyclical markets are the short-term ups and downs—periods that might last a few months to a few years.Secular markets are the broader, long-term trends that can span decades—often between 10 and 40 years.Think of it like waves on the ocean. Cyclical markets are the smaller waves that move in and out, while secular markets are the larger tides that shape the shoreline over time.Learning from History: Market ExamplesFrom 1968 to 1982, the S&P 500 was essentially flat—a 15-year stretch where inflation eroded nearly 60% of investors' purchasing power. That's what economists call a secular bear market—a long-term period of little to no progress.Yet within that broader season, there were multiple shorter-term bull and bear cycles. Investors who recognized those patterns could navigate the market with more perspective and less panic.The same was true from 2000 to 2009, another decade of overall stagnation in U.S. stocks. “But even then,” Biller notes, “we saw two cyclical bear markets with a five-year bull market sandwiched between them.”The takeaway? Even in long-term downturns, some shorter-term opportunities and recoveries keep markets moving forward over time.Why It Matters—Especially for Bond InvestorsUnderstanding these cycles isn't just an academic exercise. “It's actually more helpful when it comes to bonds than stocks,” Biller explains.That's because bond markets move in much longer secular cycles. From 1982 to 2021, the U.S. enjoyed a 40-year secular bull market in bonds as interest rates steadily declined from 15% to near zero. But since 2020, that trend has reversed. “Interest rates have been rising again,” Biller says, “and that's led to negative returns for many bond investors over the last five years.”This shift could signal the beginning of a secular bear market for bonds—a long period in which rising interest rates make it harder for bonds to perform well.Rethinking the Classic 60/40 PortfolioFor decades, the “60/40” portfolio—60% stocks and 40% bonds—was the gold standard for balanced investing. But in today's environment, that mix may need to evolve.“At Sound Mind Investing (SMI), we've reduced our bond allocation to around 30%,” Biller explains. “We haven't abandoned bonds altogether, but we're diversifying beyond them.”That diversification includes strategies like:Dynamic asset allocation—adjusting investments as market conditions shiftGold and commodities—as hedges against inflationReal estate and energy stocks—for long-term growth potentialAlternative assets like Bitcoin (in small doses), to add further varietyBuilding a Portfolio That Endures Every SeasonWhether markets are bullish or bearish, cyclical or secular, the goal remains the same: build a portfolio that's resilient and rooted in wisdom.Biller's encouragement for long-term investors is simple:“We're not advocating for dramatic changes, but rather thoughtful diversification. The goal is to build portfolios you can stick with through every kind of market season.”That perspective echoes a deeper truth for believers: our ultimate security isn't found in market trends but in God's unchanging character. Markets may rise and fall, but His promises endure forever.Faith, Patience, and PerspectiveUnderstanding both short- and long-term market cycles helps us invest with patience, discipline, and faith—trusting that God is sovereign over every season, financial or otherwise.As Proverbs 21:5 reminds us, “The plans of the diligent lead surely to abundance, but everyone who is hasty comes only to poverty.”In every bull and bear market, we're called to plan wisely, give generously, and trust deeply—knowing that the One who holds the future also holds us.For more practical investing insights and biblical wisdom, visit SoundMindInvesting.org.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I'm nearing retirement with no debt and some investment savings, but I don't have a pension.

On this episode, Kevin chats with Mark Roppolo of HFS Capital Partners about operating in the space between family office and traditional fund. Mark explains how this structure allows HFS to maintain unusual discipline—sometimes doing just two deals a year when market conditions don't warrant more. The conversation covers their approach to sourcing deals exclusively through operating partners rather than marketed opportunities, why they underwrite the sponsor as much as the asset itself, and how they've deployed $280MM across over 70 deals without a single failed capitalization. Mark shares his philosophy that success in real estate comes from tenacity and deal flow rather than being the smartest investor, discusses the accountability framework he learned at the Naval Academy, and explains why staying closely connected to operating partners through daily conversations drives better investment decisions than spreadsheet analysis alone.

In this episode of Dollars & Sense with Joel Garris, listeners are treated to an insider's perspective from a prestigious investment conference attended by just 100 select guests and hosted by one of the world's largest asset managers. Joel kicks off with a deep dive into the hottest topic in finance—Artificial Intelligence (AI). He explores AI's growing influence on investments, the labor market, and society, highlighting both its potential and the cautionary flags, such as possible overcapacity and the challenges it poses for younger generations. Joel then shifts focus to three major investment themes: the importance of national security in shaping investment decisions, the surge of private equity and private credit for everyday investors, and the need for careful portfolio allocation to avoid hidden overconcentration in growth stocks. Next, Joel breaks down everything you need to know about Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs)—from recent changes in age requirements to smart strategies for minimizing tax impact, including withholding and charitable giving. Whether you're nearing retirement or already enjoying it, this segment offers actionable advice to keep your finances on track. The episode also features a practical guide to Ladybird Deeds—an estate planning tool that helps homeowners transfer property to loved ones without the hassle of probate. Joel explains how Ladybird Deeds work, their advantages over traditional probate, and step-by-step instructions to implement this powerful tool. Rounding out the show, Joel reviews the latest market headlines, including a strong start to earnings season and how AI-driven efficiencies are helping corporate America outperform expectations. If you want to learn how AI is reshaping investments, the keys to managing your retirement withdrawals, and estate planning strategies that save time and money, this episode is packed with insights you won't want to miss.

In this episode of the InsuranceAUM.com podcast, host Stewart Foley, CFA, is joined by Frank Melaccio, CFA, CPA, FRM, Vice President, Finance and Treasurer at Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield of New Jersey, and Jason Young, Head of U.S. Corporate Private Placements and Private Structured Credit at MetLife Investment Management (MIM). The discussion explores the evolving role of investment-grade private credit and asset-based finance (ABF) in health insurance investment portfolios. Both guests share their career journeys, personal anecdotes, and their perspectives on strategic asset allocation within the unique cash flow structures of health insurers. Together, they dive into the diversification benefits, relative value opportunities, and liquidity considerations of IG private placements and ABF. Frank offers insights into how health insurers manage illiquidity risk while optimizing return on capital, and Jason sheds light on how the ABF market has matured with shorter durations and more investor interest. This episode is packed with expert perspectives on credit market dynamics, the future of private fixed income, and how health insurers can better position their portfolios in today's rapidly changing environment.

Climate change has been described as a “super wicked” policy problem. Policymakers face profound difficulties in assessing the magnitude of the risks, the costs of potential solutions, and the challenges of collective action. Because climate change is global in scope, the source of emissions is often seen as less important than their overall volume. Yet despite extensive efforts by many countries, including the United States at various times, worldwide carbon emissions continue to rise.Frustration with this state of affairs has led some state and local authorities to pursue climate litigation in addition to legislative or regulatory action. These lawsuits allege that energy producers are responsible for substantial monetary harms; and taken together, they seek many billions or even trillions of dollars in damages. Many recent cases focus on claims that companies misrepresented the effects of fossil fuels on the environment in violation of state consumer protection laws.On October 8, 2025, join us for a panel discussion examining the legal and policy issues raised by these cases, including: • Preemption under the Clean Air Act and federal common law; • Challenges in demonstrating causation and attribution; • Possible implications for First Amendment protections; • Allocation of damages among dozens of energy companies, including state-owned firms that may be shielded by sovereign immunity. • The contributing role of both plaintiffs and other beneficiaries of fossil fuels; and • Whether litigation is likely to help advance efforts to address climate change.Featuring:David Bookbinder, Director of Law & Policy, Environmental Integrity ProjectProfessor Michael Gerrard, Andrew Sabin Professor of Professional Practice and Founder and Faculty Director of the Sabin Center for Climate Change Law, Columbia Law SchoolProfessor Donald J.

The Mineral Rights Podcast: Mineral Rights | Royalties | Oil and Gas | Matt Sands
In this episode, we dive into one of the most unique and complex aspects of Texas oil and gas development: allocation wells and the state's unique approach to pooling mineral interests. Unlike most oil-producing states that have robust forced pooling statutes, Texas takes a different approach that gives mineral owners more control but creates significant complexity in how royalties are calculated and paid. As always, more information and links to the resources mentioned in this episode can be found in the show notes at mineralrightspodcast.com.
