In this week's episode of the Rich Habits Podcast, Robert Croak and Austin Hankwitz answer your questions!---
In this Christmas special, we reshare our conversation with Nicky Gumbel! Very occasionally one individual can have a disproportionately powerful impact on a collection of people, but very rarely does that person's impact grow in time and reach, and expand beyond anyone's expectations and for millions, be responsible for enhancing their lives. In this episode we explore a slightly different realm: religion. Our guest, the Reverend Nicky Gumbel, talks of his own odyssey from barrister to clergyman, before widening both awareness and access to Christianity to those outside the church via the Alpha Course. Alpha - a term which we usually employ in a very different context on the podcast - effectively rebranded and modernised Christianity for a new generation in the 1990s, with tens of thousands of courses being run by the end of the decade. The programme has now been translated into 112 different languages, and 30 million people have taken part. In this interview he explains his own pivot to faith, how he was asked to take charge of the Alpha Course development, and in the subsequent years how its reach was extended globally. He explains how he built it into a global brand, how charismatic leadership can be relevant to all fields, the changing relationship between faith and secularism, the role of religion for prisoner rehabilitation, as well as thoughts on morality, money and giving!

CannCon and Alpha Warrior work through a December 18 news cycle dominated by mixed signals, stalled narratives, and rising tension across multiple fronts. The show breaks down shifting rhetoric around national security, border enforcement, and cartel activity, alongside confusion created by competing media narratives and vague official statements. They examine geopolitical posturing, foreign policy signaling, and why certain stories appear amplified while others quietly disappear. Domestically, the discussion touches on crime, enforcement priorities, political accountability, and the ongoing struggle to separate real developments from psychological operations designed to provoke fear or complacency. Throughout the episode, CannCon and Alpha emphasize pattern recognition, timing, and restraint, arguing that the information battlefield is just as active as any physical one. A steady, analytical episode focused on staying grounded while narratives collide and pressure continues to build.

Parfüms boomen bei jungen Menschen. Beinflusst durch Social Media sind sie für die Gen Z Statussymbol und Statement zugleich. Wer sich teure Brands nicht leisten kann, setzt auf «Dupes», Duplikate, die gleich riechen aber viel billiger sind. Wie leicht kann «Einstein» einen Bestsellerduft kopieren? Parfüms: Wie uns die Duftindustrie an der Nase herumführt Parfüms boomen bei jungen Menschen. Für die Generationen Z und Alpha sind sie Statussymbol und Statement zugleich. Je teurer der ‹Brand›, desto exklusiver und kostbarer scheint der Duft zu sein. Doch die Realität ist sehr oft eine andere. Die Parfümindustrie ist ein intransparentes Milliardengeschäft, das seit jeher von einem Hauch Scharlatanerie begleitet wird. «Einstein» steckt die Nase tief in die Flacons und zeigt, weshalb in der Welt der Düfte längst nicht alles ‹dufte› ist. Wie leicht kann «Einstein» einen Bestsellerduft kopieren? Markenparfüms sind teuer. Wer sie sich nicht leisten kann oder will, setzt auf «Dupes», Duplikate, die gleich riechen aber viel billiger sind. Auch dank Influencing auf Social Media starten «Dupes» seit geraumer Zeit so richtig durch. Die Luxusbranche ruft «Diebstahl». Doch Fakt ist: Geschützt sind nur Markenname, Flacon und Kampagne. Das wichtigste Gut, der Duft, gehört niemandem. Ein paar Tropfen Parfüm in ein Gerät namens Gaschromatograph genügen, um die Moleküle und ihre Menge zu analysieren. Mithilfe eines Parfümeurs hat «Einstein» zwei Bestseller-Parfüms in nur 30 Minuten nachgemischt und Passanten unter die Nase gehalten. Ein Experiment mit überraschenden Antworten. Magisches Ambergris: Die Jagd nach dem «schwimmenden Gold» Sie werden in der Parfüm-Industrie nur noch marginal verwendet: Aber es gibt sie noch, die wertvollen und seltenen Düfte aus der Natur. Ambra oder Ambergris ist einer der Düfte, der Menschen seit der Antike die Sinne vernebelt und die Parfümiere bis heute inspiriert. Ambra ist eine wachsartige Substanz, die dann und wann an Strände angeschwemmt wird. Die Herkunft ist wenig appetitlich: Es handelt sich um Erbrochenes von Pottwalen. Wer Ambra findet, kann reich werden. Aber es braucht dazu Erfahrung, sehr viel Glück und einen Ort wie die wilde Atlantikküste im Westen Irlands. Dort hat «Einstein» einen professionellen Ambra-Jäger auf der Suche nach dem «schwimmenden Gold» begleitet. Mit Erfolg?

Our thoughts and condolences go to all victims affected in the shocking incident at Bondi Beach on Sunday. This was recorded on Monday. Get around your family and mates and stay strong. Our final normal episode of the year and it's a big focus around the big fellas recent knee surgery and the carry on that's come with it, including his refusal to shower and be a stinky goonah boy. Our final pub of the week takes us to another town Quinn can't pronounce before we cover the tragic events in Bondi during the news, followed by some light hearted stories as well and the final UFC card of the year and a preview of the Pimblett VS Justin card.

In this episode of Excess Returns, we sit down with David Wright, Head of Quantitative Investing at Pictet Asset Management, for a deep and practical conversation about how artificial intelligence and machine learning are actually being used in real-world investment strategies. Rather than focusing on hype or black-box promises, David walks through how systematic investors combine human judgment, economic intuition, and machine learning models to forecast stock returns, construct portfolios, and manage risk. The discussion covers what AI can and cannot do in investing today, how machine learning differs from traditional factor models and large language models like ChatGPT, and why interpretability and robustness still matter. This episode is a must-watch for investors interested in quantitative investing, AI-driven ETFs, and the future of systematic portfolio construction.Main topics covered:What artificial intelligence and machine learning really mean in an investing contextHow machine learning models are trained to forecast relative stock returnsThe role of features, signals, and decision trees in quantitative investingKey differences between machine learning models and large language models like ChatGPTWhy interpretability and stability matter more than hype in AI investingHow human judgment and machine learning complement each other in portfolio managementData selection, feature engineering, and the trade-offs between traditional and alternative dataOverfitting, data mining concerns, and how professional investors build guardrailsTime horizons, rebalancing frequency, and transaction cost considerationsHow AI-driven strategies are implemented in diversified portfolios and ETFsThe future of AI in investing and what it means for investorsTimestamps:00:00 Introduction and overview of AI and machine learning in investing03:00 Defining artificial intelligence vs machine learning in finance05:00 How machine learning models are trained using financial data07:00 Machine learning vs ChatGPT and large language models for stock selection09:45 Decision trees and how machine learning makes forecasts12:00 Choosing data inputs: traditional data vs alternative data14:40 The role of economic intuition and explainability in quant models18:00 Time horizons and why machine learning works better at shorter horizons22:00 Can machine learning improve traditional factor investing24:00 Data mining, overfitting, and model robustness26:00 What humans do better than AI and where machines excel30:00 Feature importance, conditioning effects, and model structure32:00 Model retraining, stability, and long-term persistence36:00 The future of automation and human oversight in investing40:00 Why ChatGPT-style models struggle with portfolio construction45:00 Portfolio construction, diversification, and ETF implementation51:00 Rebalancing, transaction costs, and practical execution56:00 Surprising insights from machine learning models59:00 Closing lessons on investing and avoiding overtrading

In Episode 022 of DEFCON ZERQ, Alpha Warrior and Josh Reid react in real time to President Trump's “My Fellow Americans” announcement and unpack the signals surrounding an imminent national address. The conversation dives into escalating global and domestic tensions, including suspected cartel activity, embassy corruption, terror incidents, and mounting pressure inside the Trump administration. Alpha and Josh analyze the Susie Wiles controversy, withheld intelligence, ambassador shakeups, and the possibility of a major internal realignment, while connecting dots between Q references, timing markers, and recent Truth Social posts. The episode also explores media manipulation, foreign influence, censorship pressure campaigns, and why multiple events appear to be converging at once. Fast paced, speculative, and deeply connective, this episode captures the sense that something significant may be approaching and why the hosts believe the next moves matter.

Bible StudyDon't just take our word for it . . . take His! We would encourage you to spend time examining the following Scriptures that shaped this sermon: .Sermon Notes:1. Why Did John Doubt?John is imprisoned after confronting Herod.From prison he hears Jesus' ministry reports.Jesus is not matching his expectations:John expected judgment (axe, winnowing fork).Jesus is healing, teaching mercy, loving enemies.Doubt often grows when God doesn't meet our expectations.We risk:Disbelief (walking away), orIdolatry (reshaping God into our image).2. What Did John Do With His Doubt?He brought his question directly to Jesus.The Psalms model honest questioning (“How long, Lord?”).Honest questions brought to God are themselves an act of faith.We bring our doubts to:Prayer,Scripture,Community (church, classes, Alpha).3. How Did Jesus Respond?Jesus doesn't condemn John.He points to evidence: “What you see and hear”—lives changed, people healed, good news preached.He points John back to Scripture (Isaiah).Jesus gently corrects John's expectations and strengthens his faith.God often strengthens us by showing us His work in others' lives.ConclusionThe final answer to our doubt is not an argument—but a person: Jesus.Discussion Questions:1. Is it surprising to you that great saints sometimes experience great doubt and discouragement?2. Can you think of a time when God didn't meet your expectations?3. Why is bringing our doubts to God itself an act of faith?4. What are the two things Jesus does in response to John's question? How might those also help us in times of doubt or discouragement?5. Do our doubts separate us from Jesus?Questions?Do you have a question about today's sermon? Email Randy Forrester ().

In this powerful episode of The Alpha Male Coach Podcast, Kevin takes brothers deep into the heart of awakened relationships - what he calls Alpha relationships - and reveals why most modern partnerships are built on misunderstanding, incompleteness, and unconscious need. Broadcasting from Tulum, Mexico, Kevin opens with reflections on the land, the energy, and the sense of peace that reconnects him to a timeless part of himself. From that grounded presence, he pivots into the core teaching of today's episode: what happens when two awakening beings encounter one another in relationship.Kevin explains the fundamental distinction between beta relationships - rooted in lack, need, codependency, and the ego's belief in incompleteness - and alpha relationships, which arise from wholeness, recognition, and conscious connection. Most people aren't falling in love, he explains; they're falling into need. They're entering relationships trying to fill a void within themselves. Two half-filled cups pouring into each other, emptying and refilling, never realizing the fullness must first come from within.But when two alphas meet - two awakening individuals who know who they are, who have remembered their true nature - everything changes. Alphas do not need each other. And it is the absence of need that creates the presence of true freedom, genuine intimacy, effortless communication, and deep mutual respect.Kevin reveals how awakened communication differs from ego communication: alphas aren't defending positions, playing games, or seeking validation. They're playing, exploring, listening, and learning from each other. They can fully disagree without conflict because neither identifies with the mind or its opinions. Silence becomes meaningful. Differences become invitations to expand. Mystery becomes celebrated rather than controlled.The episode dives into emotional mastery within awakened relationships - why alphas don't create drama, don't cling, don't possess, don't manipulate, and don't collapse into fear of abandonment. Kevin reminds us that only children and animals can be abandoned. Adults cannot. An alpha knows he is whole, complete, and unbroken - no matter what another person chooses.Kevin then explores physical intimacy, describing the spiritual and tantric depth that emerges when two alphas meet in sexual connection - not for validation, conquest, or escape, but as a conscious dance of awareness, play, and presence.He also speaks about conflict, growth, generosity, separation, and the natural rhythms of coming together and moving apart. In awakened relationships, there is no clinging. Space is not a threat. Change is not fear. Love is attraction and freedom, breath in and breath out.Ultimately, Kevin reminds brothers that after awakening, life still looks the same on the outside - chop wood, carry water - but the inner world transforms completely. Relationships don't change; the one who is in the relationship changes.This episode closes with the profound truth: when two alphas recognize each other, a field of consciousness is created that affects everyone around them. A relationship becomes not two separate beings in love, but love recognizing itself.Elevate your alpha, brothers.
The Bible tells us that Jesus Christ is the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. But what does that really mean? The truth is Jesus had no beginning and He will have no end. He always was and forever will be. Ron unpacks this idea for us next, as he continues his teaching series, “Knowing God by His Christmas Names.”
