Oxford political scientist Ben Ansell discusses the meme-worthy but deeply explanatory concept of FAFO—f**k around and find out—and its subtler cousin FADFO, where reckless policy choices oddly fail to produce blowback. Why bad ideas often go unpunished, from Brexit to tariffs to defund-the-police slogans and MMT. Ansell argues that liberal democracies build buffers that delay "finding out," which populists and ideologues exploit. Plus, thoughts on the limits of idealism in higher ed diplomacy, especially when it comes to the assumed cultural benefits of hosting thousands of Chinese nationals at U.S. universities.

If you've ever felt unseen in your health journey—or want to better understand those who are—this is a conversation you don't want to miss.
Starting a business is a big decision, and people do it for different reasons. Maybe you have a passion you really care about, or you just want more freedom in how you spend your time. For some, it's about doing something different from the usual 9-to-5 job and having control over their own path. But what does it really take to start a business—and is passion enough to keep you going? In this episode, I have Clara Ansel, CEO and Founder of Business Powerhouse. Clara shares valuable insights into managing business growth sustainably without burning out. The conversation delves into the importance of having a clear destination or 'Point B,' the role of mindset in business success, and practical steps to avoid chaos and inefficiency. Clara also discusses the significance of decluttering one's mind and surroundings, actionable advice for aspiring entrepreneurs, and her personal journey from corporate consultancy to empowering small business owners. Tune in to learn more! --- Listen to the podcast here: Starting and Scaling up a Business with Claire Ansell Welcome to Action's Antidotes, your antidotes to the mindset that keeps you settling for less. Today, I want to talk to you all about starting and scaling up businesses. Now, perhaps you have your reasons for wanting to start a business and, usually, it's about passion that you have or just the desire to have a life where you have a little bit more autonomy over what you do and when you do it, something other than the corporate life, but maybe you're looking at these processes of starting a business and seeing how daunting the process is, how much it really goes on, especially if you do end up with an investor that expects you to scale or if you personally have the desire to scale because whatever mission you're serving, you're kind of wanting to bring to more or more people. My guest today is Claire Ansell, and she is the CEO and founder of Business Powerhouse and she has some good thoughts about how we could go about managing this whole process without kind of burning out, without kind of ending up doing too much in a more sustainable fashion. --- Claire, welcome to the program. Hey, Stephen. How are you? I'm doing pretty well today. It's actually a nice 70 degrees here. Nice. That's good. Summer is coming. It always feels nice at this time of year. How are you today? I'm pretty good. It's been an exciting day with doing lots of –– actually like in the same realm as what you're talking about. We launched a new kind of series in our hub called Awaken, which is all about mindset so it's pretty exciting to be jumping on here with you today and kind of continuing the conversation. Yeah, and that's a good place to start. We can talk a little bit about mindset because I'm assuming you work with a lot of people who are either starting businesses or have a business and they're just starting to become overwhelmed as their web traffic, their client base, something kind of picks up. Yeah, and I think it doesn't really matter what phase of business you're in, whether you're a startup or a ten-million-dollar business, the reality –– or a hundred-million-dollar business. I mean, I've seen it right up to 600 million. I mean, at some point, a business owner is overwhelmed in chaos and facing that burnout. It's just the reality of the way in which we structure and grow our businesses. Now, given your role in your business, is there any way to prevent that burnout? Is there any way someone that's starting a business now can adopt either a mindset or a set of operational practical you want to start a business but you don't want to burn yourself out? Yeah, 100 percent, and I think one of the biggest pieces the business owners really miss is they don't understand what their point B is. We talk about point A is where you are today and point B is where are you going in the future and that could be at ...

Half-year reporting continued, but it was the tariff movement by Donald Trump of steel & aluminium moving the market.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Wall St started the week in positive territory as investors looked past Trump's latest tariff talks about a blanket tariff on steel and aluminium imports, and bought into growth areas of the market. The Dow Jones rose 0.38%, the S&P500 added 0.67% and the tech-heavy Nasdaq led the gains with a near 1% rise.Strength in the US jobs market dampened investor hopes of a near-term rate cut as the latest unemployment data showed the jobless rate in the world's largest economy fell from 4.1% to 4% in January at the same time 143,000 jobs were added. The Fed has already cut the US cash rate once last year to 4.25% - 4.5%, however, with signals of a stronger labour market, a rise in the inflation rate for the last 3-months and strong retail sales growth, the US central bank is unlikely to cut rates again until these inflationary driver's ease.In Europe overnight markets in the region started the new trading week higher with the STOXX 600 gaining 0.58%, while Germany's DAX added 0.57%, the French CAC rose 0.42% and, in the UK, the FTSE100 ended the day up 0.77%.Across the APAC region on Monday, markets closed mixed as escalating tensions around Trump's tariff implications weighed on investor sentiment. Japan's Nikkei closed flat, South Korea's Kospi index also ended the day little unchanged, Hong Kong's Hang Seng rose 1.76% and China's CSI index rose 0.21% after China's consumer inflation rose to a 5-month high in January amid higher consumer spend in the lead up to the Lunar New Year.Locally on Monday, the ASX200 started the new trading week in the red with a 0.34% loss at the closing bell as a sharp sell-off in tech stocks weighed on the local key index. Reporting season continued on Monday with key names releasing first half results that surprised investors. Trump's new tariffs on aluminium and steel weighed on the local index early in the session before realising that less than 1% of China's steel exports went to the US in 2024, and China is Australia's largest buyer of iron ore which is a key ingredient used to make steel.JB Hi-Fi faced inflationary pressures and subdued demand in the first half but still posted strong results, with total sales rising 9.8% to $5.67bn, NPAT up 8% to $285.4m, and an interim dividend increase of 7.6% to 170cps. However, investors sold off shares, likely due to a 13.5% rise in inventory and a 9bps drop in inventory turnover. Payables also increased by 16% YoY in H1. CEO Terry Smart's cautious remarks about retail market uncertainty and heightened competition likely spooked investors yesterday.Ansell on the other hand had investors buying in on Monday after the global leading protective equipment producer released strong first half results including sales growth of 12.5%, EBIT up 20.9% and a dividend of 22 US cps.What to watch locally today:Ahead of Tuesday's trading session on the ASX the SPI futures are anticipating the ASX to open the day up 0.37% tracking Wall Street's positive start overnight.On the local reporting season calendar today, we will likely see investors react to results out of global healthcare giant, CSL.On the commodities front this morning, oil is trading 2.02% higher at US$72.44/barrel, gold is up 1.68% at US$2907.41/ounce and iron ore is up 0.13% at US$106.37/tonne.The AUD has strengthened against the greenback to buy US$0.62, 95.29 Japanese Yen, 50.73 British Pence and NZ$1.11.Trading Ideas:Bell Potter has downgraded the rating on JB Hi-Fi (ASX:JBH) from a buy to a hold and have increased the 12-month price target on the leading tech retail company from $98 to $99/share following the release of the company's results yesterday. The downgrade to a hold follows the analyst believing JB is currently well valued and limited earnings upgrades in the near-term are priced in at a current PE multiple of around 23x.And Trading Central has id

Chinese national Tingjun Cao has been found guilty of murdering Yanfei Bao. The Christchurch woman's body was found in a shallow grave this year - more than a year after going missing. Cao killed Bao after a private property viewing - before trying to dispose of evidence and leave the country. Newstalk ZB's Emily Ansell has been at court. She says the jury deliberated for just over an hour-and-a-half on Cao's guilt. "He left as he walked in this afternoon - with his hands behind his back, his head slightly down, he seemed silent, he seemed quiet throughout the jury reading out their verdict."

The High Court in Christchurch has heard the first evidence in the murder trial of Tingjun Cao. He's accused of killing estate agent Yanfei Bao. Newstalk ZB's Emily Ansell says Bao's partner, Paul Gooch, realised something was wrong when Bao hadn't picked up her daughter from after-school care. "He said when he got home, he checked the dishwasher to see if Bao's lunch dishes were there - as usually, she'd come home and eat. But they weren't." Court adjourned early today, for various reasons including translation issues. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Christchurch real estate agent, Yanfei Bao reportedly knew the man accused of murdering her.

Newstalk ZB's Emily Ansell is at the High Court. She says Cao was new to the country, and it appears Bao was helping him find a job.

Get ready to be inspired! In this captivating episode, we dive into the incredible story of Mary Ansell, founder of Open Heart Yoga, and her journey from dealing with scoliosis to becoming a visionary who has reshaped her community's wellness landscape is nothing short of awe-inspiring. As a young girl, Mary was diagnosed with scoliosis at age 12 and had to wear a brace that was not only challenging but also brought out her remarkable blend of grit and grace. This experience, however, set the stage for her eventual love affair with yoga, which offered her physical relief and a profound sense of connection and presence. The heart of Mary's mission with Open Heart Yoga is to make yoga accessible to everyone, regardless of age, gender, or socioeconomic status. Her studio has grown from a fledgling nonprofit to a thriving community sanctuary, and the innovative "practice and give" model ensures that every class not only supports personal growth but also the well-being of others in the local community. This episode is not just a story about yoga; it's a testament to the power of human resilience, the beauty of community support, and the transformative potential of pursuing one's passion. Mary Ansell's journey from overcoming personal challenges to inspiring a community through Open Heart Yoga is a compelling narrative that resonates with anyone looking to make a meaningful impact in their world.

David Ansell's book “The Death Gap: How Inequality Kills” was first published in 2017. In a foreword for the book updated in 2020, Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot wrote that “Three years before the COVID-19 crisis, Dr. David Ansell published The Death Gap, brilliantly synthesizing what he experienced in decades of practicing medicine in two utterly different medical worlds that were mere blocks apart. What makes this book so compelling is that rather than focusing exclusively on data and statistics, Dr. Ansell makes these gruesome numbers real. He tells the story of the disparities through the real-life experiences of patients with whom he had deep, committed relationships.” In today's discussion Dr. Ansell reflects on the collision between the ongoing epidemic of social and structural determinants of health, and the pandemic of COVID-19. He also shares recommendations for ways that healthcare providers can bring together quality, safety and equity in medicine. David A. Ansell, MD, MPH, is Senior Vice President for Community Health Equity for Rush University Medical Center and Associate Provost for Community Affairs for Rush University System for Health, Chicago. Dr. Carla Harwell is Medical Director, University Hospitals Otis Moss Jr. Health Center; Associate Professor of Medicine, CWRU School of Medicine, Division of Internal Medicine; and Vice Chair for the Board of Directors at Movement is Life.

Ansell, the ASX-listed glove maker, has warned its investors that a huge amount of unsold products post covid has now spread to other products. Burberry, the British luxury fashion behemoth, dropped some delightful news last week after a boom in Chinese buyers. Russia pulled out of the Black Sea grain deal last week, which may really hurt the the flow of critical food supplies. — Build the financial wellbeing of your team with Flux at Work: https://bit.ly/fluxatwork Download the free app (App Store): http://bit.ly/FluxAppStore Download the free app (Google Play): http://bit.ly/FluxappGooglePlay Daily newsletter: https://bit.ly/fluxnewsletter Flux on Instagram: http://bit.ly/fluxinsta Flux on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@flux.finance —- The content in this podcast reflects the views and opinions of the hosts, and is intended for personal and not commercial use.

As you may have noticed, modern democracies aren't doing so hot. In country after country, income inequality soars while solidarity plummets. Resentment simmers while national unity cools. In places like the US and the UK, beacons of liberal democracy, words like “autocracy” and “anarchy” are thrown around with alarming regularity. Meanwhile, our ability to take action on existential threats like AI and climate change is stymied by sniping politicians who are obsessed with point-scoring and eerily disinclined to agree on a shared set of facts. Given all this, it's not unreasonable to wonder: Are we doomed? This week, on the 247th anniversary of America's birthday — and the dawn of the modern democratic experiment — we'll get to the bottom of that unsettling question with Ben Ansell, professor of comparative democratic institutions at Oxford and author of “Why Politics Fail.”
Ben Ansell is Professor of Comparative Democratic Institutions at the University of Oxford and a Fellow of the British Academy. He is the author of Why Politics Fails. In this week's conversation, Yascha Mounk and Ben Ansell discuss the collective goods that we all desire (democracy, equality, solidarity, security and prosperity) and why political systems struggle to bring them about; the implicit trade-offs in democratic systems; and the institutions we need to create more just and prosperous societies.
