Those who hate the financial sector and demonize the activity of capital markets will never understand that beneath it all is the story of the human spirit. Dealing with the aspirations embedded in financial markets has to be avoided, because it gets in the way of their narrative of grievance and victimhood. On today's Capital Record, David has a highly personal story to tell that gets to the essence of all of this. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

What does it mean to break the mold when the world has already decided what success should look like? In postwar America, the dream was to build a comfortable life, but some chose to step outside those expectations, trading the American dream for a life devoted to following God's call wherever it led.Join Tracie and Abigail as they share the story of Laverne Rodgers, whose call to missions began while he was a young soldier during World War II. By 1950, he was in Japan, where he and his wife devoted their lives to evangelizing the country. For 72 years, Laverne faithfully served on the mission field, continuing until his death at 95. Their story reflects this season's theme, Breaking the Mold—choosing God's calling over the comforts and expectations of postwar America and discovering a life of purpose on the mission field.If you know of someone who can be helped by listening to the Abundant Living Podcast, please share this episode with them.

Your Mama's Kitchen is back! We're kicking off our new season with best-selling author Min Jin Lee (“Pachinko”), whose latest book, “American Hagwon,” hits shelves on Sept 29. In today's episode, Min Jin takes us inside the kitchen in Elmhurst, Queens where her family built a new life after immigrating from Korea. Around the table, food became a language for everything they were carrying: pride, sacrifice, exhaustion, and the weight of starting over in America. It's an intimate story of immigration, and how the kitchen table shaped her writing. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The leaders of Intersections for Our Lives — Christina Baal Owens, Regina Davis Moss, and Lupe Rodriguez — join The Margin to discuss a new national study examining the priorities, concerns, and political outlook of women of color. The survey found deep anxiety around affordability, healthcare, economic security, and the future of the American Dream. Among its findings: three in five women of color said politicians are not talking about the issues that matter in their daily lives, while many described the cost of raising a family, buying a home, accessing healthcare, and simply making ends meet as increasingly out of reach. The conversation explores what those findings reveal about political trust and belonging, as well as why reproductive justice extends far beyond abortion access — encompassing the ability to have children, not have children, and raise families safely and with dignity. The guests also discuss immigration as a reproductive justice issue, barriers to healthcare for immigrant communities, and the policy changes they want lawmakers to pursue. And with the midterms approaching, they examine the gap between asking women of color to show up at the ballot box and actually delivering meaningful change in their lives — and why solidarity across Black, Latina, and AANHPI communities remains central to their effort to build political power.

She also opens up about her Christian faith and the Bible study she leads with members of the Trump administration.

Alessandro Antezza is a fellow business broker in Tampa Bay, and an Italian immigrant who built his own version of the American Dream here before helping hundreds of others do the same. In this episode he and Vince talk shop: why selling a business is so much harder than selling real estate, and what it actually takes for someone abroad to buy a US business. In this episode we get into: - Why it's easier to sell a piece of real estate than a business, and why so much of a business's real value lives in the owner, not the numbers - Why 70 to 80% of businesses that go to market never sell, and about 50% of deals fall apart during due diligence after the offer is accepted - What it actually takes for someone abroad to buy a US business: the team, the visa process, and why $150,000 is the realistic starting number - The SBA test: why a business that can qualify for SBA financing is worth more, even if you're planning to sell 3 to 5 years from now - A deal that almost died: canceling a contract to protect a buyer, and getting the hardest signature of his career from a seller who took 3 months to trust him - Building a life and a business in the US after growing up in Italy, and what actually makes the American Dream real If you're a business owner thinking about selling, or an entrepreneur abroad thinking about buying a business in the US, this episode is for you.

Dr. Mark Hugo Lopez is Director of Race and Ethnicity Research at the Pew Research Center, where he coordinates the National Survey of Latinos. Both sides of his family worked the fields of Mexico during the Revolution before settling in California, where his father rose from meat packer to principal and his mother from bank teller to elite cosmetic sales director. A young Mark took notes on the evening news, a habit that sharpened his English. He chose Berkeley over Stanford and Yale, then went on to Princeton, where he nearly walked away in his first six weeks. He stayed, earned his Ph.D. in economics, and joined the University of Maryland faculty at twenty-eight. Today he is one of the country's most trusted voices on Latino public opinion. His newest work finds hope and doubt side by side: only one in five Latinos say they have fully achieved the American Dream, yet most say they already live better than their parents did.

About a year ago, the Future of Everything team was in New York taping a special episode on the innovation economy in front of a live audience, and today we're re-releasing it.

Anthony Scaramucci has led a life full of unexpected twists and turns. After building a successful career on Wall Street, he spent a memorable and famously brief 11 days as President Trump's White House communications director. Since then, he's become a bestselling author, co-host of the hit podcast The Rest Is Politics: US, and one of the president's most outspoken critics. His new book, All the Wrong Moves: How Three Catastrophic Decisions Led to the Rise of Trump, argues that today's political divisions didn't emerge overnight. Instead, Scaramucci traces them back to three bipartisan policy decisions that he believes fundamentally reshaped the American Dream and paved the way for our current political moment. In this conversation, Katie and Anthony discuss where he thinks America went wrong, what he's learned from his own unlikely journey, and why he believes understanding the past is the first step toward rebuilding the future.

Over the last few decades, many industries discovered they could grow their customer base and profits by selling a cheaper, inferior version of their product while degrading the experience for everyone. Air travel and theme parks are obvious examples. Both learned that the advantages of scale could outweigh the obligation to deliver a high-quality experience. That philosophy did not remain in the realm of economics. It spread slowly but surely into American public life. The United States government increasingly treats the country the same way: expand the customer base, maximize throughput, then sell people a tiered version of the American experience as the baseline crumbles.

What happens when you get the house, the car and the things you thought would make you happy, then realize your real dream was already at home? Ms. Pat joins Mick Hunt for a funny, candid conversation about family, authenticity and defining success for yourself. Discussing her memoir, Ms. American Dream, she explains why happiness has no price tag, how she prepared for Hollywood when she did not know the language, and why she thinks of fame as a job rather than an identity. They also explore the money lessons she wants younger generations to learn, the podcast appearances that helped open doors, and the legacy she hopes to leave: keep going and never let someone else tell you who you are. Explicit language. Discussion includes personal experiences with debt and credit, not individualized financial advice. Ms. Pat's purpose is bigger than getting a laugh. She wants people to know that their hardest experiences do not have to hold them down forever. In this episode: The Because: laughter, survival and moving forward after difficult experiences. The Unplugged Truth: why material success did not define her American dream. What home, family and being Patricia mean to her. Preparing for a table read through practice instead of pretending she already knew everything. Why treating people well matters more to her than acting famous. Hot Takes: the credit, interest-rate and saving lessons she shares with family and friends. The Room: trusting her instincts about podcasts before Hollywood called.  The Unplugged Five: food, Atlanta, comedy and the legacy of never giving up.

Donald Trump zette deze week CNN, MS NOW en Politico uit het Witte Huis. De rechter heeft gezegd dat de verbannen media weer toegang moeten krijgen, maar het Witte Huis legt dat oordeel naast zich neer. Andere media, waaronder Fox News, besloten daarop geen poolbeelden meer te maken. Trump heeft inmiddels een eigen oplossing: Trump TV. Hoever kan de president gaan in het schenden van het eerste amendement? Deze week was ook de algemene vergadering van de Verenigde Naties in New York. Bernard was erbij en zag hoe de wereld reageerde op Trumps toespraak, waarin onder meer Iran en Groenland voorbijkwamen. Trumps diplomatieke week zat er na de VN nog niet op. Want er stond ook een bezoek van de Chinese president Xi Jingping aan Washington op de agenda. Welke onderwerpen liggen op tafel en kunnen we echte. Over de Amerika Podcast In de Amerika Podcast nemen Bernard Hammelburg en Jan Postma je mee naar het Amerika van nu: een land dat onder Donald Trump opnieuw in rap tempo verandert. Wat betekent zijn beleid voor Amerikanen in rode én blauwe staten, voor de democratie? Wat is er nog over van the American Dream? Wat verandert Trumps koers voor ons in Europa? Hier hoor je de verhalen van de Amerikanen zelf. We nemen je mee naar het land van adembenemende landschappen, countrymuziek uit de autoradio en diners langs de highway. Maar natuurlijk ook juist naar de mavericks die deze clichés doorbreken. De Amerika Podcast zoekt naar de ziel van Amerika. Buitenlandcommentator Bernard Hammelburg vanuit New York en Amsterdam, correspondent Jan Postma vanuit Washington DC of ergens in een van de vijftig staten. Die zoektocht doen we samen met jou, want de Amerika Podcast is niet compleet zonder de vragen van onze luisteraars. Elke donderdag in je podcastfeed!

Joe Saul-Sehy, host of the Stacking Benjamins podcast, visits Money Life to catch Chuck up on the things he missed at FinCon 2026 — held last week in California — but also to discuss how the personal finance world is changing in the face of lingering inflation, rising interest rates, increased influence from artificial intelligence, Robert Kiyosaki's $1.2 billion debt problem and much more. Saul-Sehy also discusses so-called "safe withdrawal rates," and says the "4 percent rule" drives him crazy, because it puts the focus on accumulating wealth rather than "creating a fulfilling life." Author Renee Bryan discusses her book "The Morality of Money: Remove Fear and Discover Financial Freedom Through Simple Economic Principles and Universal Truths," and the intersection of faith and finance. Bryan talks about how economic principles can align with being a good person, and advocates for using moral principles to guide financial decisions, suggesting that a positive mindset can lead to personal prosperity. Plus, Carlo Versano, director of politics and culture at Newsweek, discusses their recently reached American Dream Index, which examines how Americans perceive their ability to achieve success, prosperity, and upward mobility, looking at the issue from perceptions for the whole country down into attitudes in cities and states. The overall scores indicated a struggle across the board and, in fact, no state achieved a score above 70 on a scale of 100. That doesn't mean the American Dream is dead — far from it, according to Versano — but it does mean that people may need to choose different paths and different locations to have the best chance of achieving it in their lives.

Mischa Fisher sees mortgage rates climbing into the low sevens and expects existing home sales to turn negative in the fourth quarter. He argues the Fed's hike could eventually help by restoring confidence that inflation is under control. Jeff Ostrowski says affordability remains the biggest obstacle for first time buyers, but Americans still view homeownership as the American dream deferred rather than abandoned.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – https://twitter.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/schwab-network/About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about

Interviews with Chinese immigrants suggest the allure of the U.S. is being put to the test by a torrent of immigration restrictions under President Trump, and the emergence of China as the world's second-largest economy. But for many, the core draw of America remains strong.

The American Dream used to be achieving financial stability by owning a home and having a good job, but that criteria is now changing. About three quarters of people, across all generations, now say they feel satisfied if they can just enjoy life! For more, KCBS' Jason Brooks spoke with Bloomberg News Reporter Michelle Amponsah.

This week on Hashtag History, we will be discussing the political ideology of America First. This is the concept that America needs to prioritize America—our domestic interests above those of other nations. And, in theory, that sounds like a good idea, right? Putting American families and the American economy first, not engaging in foreign conflicts are participating in international treaties that don't directly benefit the US. But this philosophy also comes with a lot of criticism too: It weakens international alliances. When we need help, who is coming to save us when we have burned all our bridges? Through tariffs and trade wars, depending solely on domestic goods becomes more expensive for the American people. And then, of course, there are the historical parallels to times in the past when the US – so focused on the US – made the decision to allow fascism to thrive abroad. And, when we exclude ourselves so much from foreign nations, what reason would they have to intervene in our affairs when we are being taken over by fascism? In a quote from Sarah Churchwell, author of the book Behold, America: The Entangled History of “America First” and “the American Dream” - she said, “What may seem at first glance merely a patriotic or nationalistic slogan – one that implies economic protectionism – in fact has a much longer and darker history in American political discourse than many people realize." And that is the history we will be getting into this week.While we will of course explore the philosophy of America First this week, our primary focus will be on that long and dark history behind the phrase. Its early roots in McKinley in the late-1800s and his tariff policy, in Wilson's reelection campaign in 1916 about keeping America out of World War I, in 1940 with the Founding of the America First Committee (which boasted prominent members like Charles Lindbergh and Henry Ford), and then, of course, in 2016 and again in 2024 with the Trump Administrations' focus on border security, foreign relations, tariffs, and burning our alliances with foreign nations.Follow Hashtag History on Instagram @hashtaghistory_podcast for all of the pictures mentioned in this episode.Citations for all sources can be located on our website at www.HashtagHistory-Pod.com.

With the midterms just 43 days away, Mike and Senator Rick Scott make the case that the central political choice facing voters is about more than personalities or campaign distractions—it’s about competing visions for the role of government and the American dream. Scott argues that Republicans need to focus relentlessly on affordability, jobs, education, public safety and opportunity, while Mike zeroes in on the growing influence of socialism within the Democratic Party. They also confront a problem Republicans can't ignore: even with accomplishments on the border, jobs and crime, voters are still feeling the squeeze of higher costs. The conversation ultimately turns to whether Republicans can make the case for freedom and opportunity strongly enough to cut through the noise and remind voters what they believe government should—and shouldn't—do.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Stewart Alsop sits down with Antoine Marcel, CEO and cofounder of Flourish, to explore the future of home robotics and what he calls "solarpunk" automation. Antoine discusses why Flourish is building wheeled robots with arms instead of following the humanoid hype, arguing that the expensive legs and teleoperation approach isn't practical for real consumers today. The conversation ranges from the philosophy of robots that disappear when you're home (rather than becoming constant companions) to the bureaucratic nightmares of modern life that robotics might actually solve. Antoine explains how their $3,500 robots can be trained in thirty minutes using just your phone to handle personalized household tasks, and why saving people two hours a day—not just ten minutes—is the threshold for consumer adoption. They also dig into whether Paris will become a solarpunk or cyberpunk city, why Apple represents solarpunk design principles, and how the first 50 Flourish units are about to ship worldwide at flourish-robots.com. Key Insights1. The core innovation behind Flourish is building mobile-based robots with arms but no legs, moving on wheels rather than attempting humanoid locomotion. This design choice stems from practical considerations since even humanoid robots cannot reliably handle stairs, and legs represent approximately twenty thousand dollars of the cost in humanoid platforms. By eliminating legs, the company can focus on delivering functional value to consumers today rather than developing research products. The founder emphasizes that accessibility and usefulness are paramount, rejecting the demonstration-focused approach that dominates the robotics industry where companies raise billions on teleoperated demos that never ship to actual consumers. 2. The founder's background in automation across logistics, software, and sales led him to recognize that the most painful tasks in life occur outside the computer. After automating digital work processes, he realized that returning home after a long workday to clean, cook, and tidy remained exhausting and unaddressed by existing technology. This insight, combined with advances in physical AI over the past three years, drove him to develop the first robot prototype that runs in his own home, constantly testing and iterating based on real-world use cases like navigating doorways and picking up scattered items from floors. 3. The company is building toward a solarpunk vision rather than cyberpunk future, where robots disappear from conscious awareness and operate silently in the background. The founder envisions robots emerging from closets when people leave home, performing cleaning and tidying tasks, then retreating before residents return. This approach contrasts sharply with the prevalent humanoid robot vision featuring teleoperated machines with cameras potentially monitored by remote operators. The goal is reducing technology's presence in daily life to create more time for family, creativity, and meaningful activities rather than introducing intrusive robotic presences into living spaces. 4. Consumer robotics faces fundamental challenges that explain why almost no companies successfully sell to end users despite massive investment in the sector. Industrial robotics offers clearer paths to revenue, while consumer products require extensive market education, safety certifications, and must genuinely change lives rather than provide marginal improvements. The founder argues that saving people ten or thirty minutes daily is insufficient and forgettable, but saving two hours daily creates transformative value that sustains product adoption. This high bar for meaningful impact explains why the consumer robotics market remains largely unaddressed despite technological capabilities. 5. The business model centers on teaching robots specific tasks through a thirty-minute training process using a smartphone, then fine-tuning AI models for those particular workflows. Rather than pursuing general physical AI that can handle any task, Flourish enables users to create custom automations for their specific needs, like retrieving items from the refrigerator or collecting clothes for the washer. This approach acknowledges that general physical AI is not yet ready while still delivering practical value through task-specific learning. The company plans to launch fifty units at thirty-five hundred dollars, shipping worldwide, with rapid sellout expected due to existing demand. 6. The robot extends vertically to reach from floor level to table height, enabling tasks like cleaning surfaces and accessing shelves while maintaining a compact mobile base that can navigate through doorways. Current limitations include lack of waterproofing, preventing dishwashing tasks, and challenges with delicate object manipulation requiring advanced tactile sensing. The founder uses first-generation prototypes in his own home, scheduling the robot to pick up scattered items like socks and trash throughout the day. This real-world testing revealed critical design issues like initial prototypes being too large to pass through standard doorways, problems only discoverable through actual home deployment rather than warehouse testing. 7. The rise of AI-powered robotics fundamentally transforms hardware development by enabling software engineers without traditional robotics expertise to launch robotics companies after just weeks of learning. This democratization stems from downloadable models from well-funded research companies like Physical Intelligence, whose work the founder incorporates into Flourish robots. This represents a shift from the industrial age's capital-intensive factory model to an information age paradigm where substantial capability can be rapidly deployed through software. However, this transformation raises questions about competition intensity, market education for skeptical consumers, and whether the benefits will broadly distribute or concentrate among those with will and intelligence to build while others remain excluded and fearful. Timestamps00:00 Stewart welcomes Antoine Marcel, CEO of Flourish, who explains they're building accessible home robots with wheeled bases and arms rather than expensive humanoid forms for practical domestic use. 05:00 Antoine discusses testing prototypes in his home for picking up clothes and trash, explaining how real-world testing revealed issues like doors being too narrow for early designs. 10:00 The conversation shifts to how AI hype enables useful research, with Antoine noting he uses physical intelligence models in his robots that wouldn't exist without funding bubbles. 15:00 Antoine emphasizes robots must save users two hours daily to matter, explaining why consumer robotics is harder than industrial applications due to certification requirements and market education needs. 20:00 Discussion of solarpunk philosophy versus cyberpunk futures, with Antoine envisioning robots that hide away when not needed, emerging only to clean and organize while families enjoy life. 25:00 They explore how different cities might adopt solarpunk or cyberpunk approaches, comparing bureaucracy as inherently cyberpunk while discussing Argentina's potential as a solarpunk capital. 30:00 Antoine positions Flourish like early Apple, making complex robotics simple and accessible, rejecting teleoperated solutions in favor of onboard AI that learns from users. 35:00 The business model discussion centers on unit economics, with Antoine arguing domestic robots should monetize time saved rather than attention captured like social media platforms. 40:00 Antoine advocates against robot screens and rental models, favoring voice control and ownership so robots learn individual routines and preferences through personalization. 45:00 They discuss robots disappearing from view when unneeded, contrasting home automation with dark factory models, before exploring robot aesthetics and art possibilities. 50:00 Antoine announces Flourish's launch of fifty units at $3,500 that users can train in thirty minutes using phones, teaching specific tasks the AI then fine-tunes for daily execution.

Derek and Jimmy are back to talk about one of the craziest weekends they've had as Killers fans: two nights with Brandon Flowers at The State Room in Salt Lake City. After completely striking out trying to get tickets to the warm-up shows, the guys thought they were going to miss out. But thanks to the generosity of fellow Killers fans, Derek and Jimmy somehow ended up making it to both nights. They talk about the experience of seeing Brandon perform in a venue with fewer than 300 people, the incredible energy inside the room, and the differences between the two nights. Between the two shows, they were able to hear all ten songs from Thrasher performed live, including several songs making their live debut. From Red Ground opening the first night to An American Dream closing it, the guys break down the songs, the setlists, Brandon's stories about growing up in Payson and Nephi, and what it meant to hear songs about their hometown performed in such an intimate setting. They also talk about Quiet Town, Pressure Machine, Sleepwalker, Tiger's Blood, The Clock Was Ticking, Tell Me, the debate over recording concerts on your phone, concert etiquette, and the incredible experience of being surrounded by fellow Killers fans. Plus, Brandon's brother Shane joins him onstage for Mr. Brightside at a private show, and Derek and Jimmy look ahead to the rest of the Thrasher tour. It was two nights that almost didn't happen—and two nights they'll never forget. SHOW NOTES

If there's one issue driving this election, it's affordability. With prices for everything from gas and groceries to healthcare and childcare rising, many Americans feel the American Dream is slipping out of reach. Meanwhile, Democrats think this could be the key to their comeback, while President Donald Trump calls affordability a “hoax” — but is still pitching $5,000 payments for every voter if Republicans maintain control of the House and the Senate.On Episode 2 of "Here's the Scoop, Election Edition," NBC News chief White House correspondent Garrett Haake brings together NBC News senior policy reporter Shannon Pettypiece, former Rep. Garret Graves, R-La., and NBC News contributor Ashley Etienne, a former adviser to President Joe Biden, to discuss where voters are feeling the squeeze, why they don't feel like the economy — or the government — is working for them and how the parties are responding on the campaign trail and beyond.

The Hidden Lightness with Jimmy Hinton – As home prices fall and inventory grows, buyers gain negotiating power, but affordability remains challenging. High mortgage rates strain budgets, while tiny homes, downsizing, and unconventional living arrangements offer alternatives. Creative housing choices help Americans reduce expenses, build savings, and pursue greater long-term financial freedom...
