Don and Tom question a surprising Wall Street Journal column arguing that annuities should become the default option in 401(k) plans. They explore why the idea is gaining traction, where the logic breaks down, and how the insurance industry benefits when complexity outpaces understanding. Along the way, they dig into the real shortcomings of annuities—fees, opacity, inflation risk, liquidity traps—and why “guarantees” often mask the true cost. Listener questions follow, covering tax-efficient stock cleanup at Schwab, spouse disagreements over individual stock picking, automatic ETF withdrawals at Vanguard, and building Dimensional portfolios inside Aspire plans. 0:04 Don's rant: “What the world needs now is… more annuities?” 1:20 WSJ's argument: make annuities the 401(k) default 2:05 Why income complexity doesn't justify default annuities 3:01 Do annuities actually solve longevity risk? 3:29 Inflation, joint-life costs, and who really wins 4:20 Insurance industry reputation and the unanswered criticisms 5:15 High fees, opacity, and why mistrust is earned 5:59 Are annuity sales tactics the real barrier? 7:02 Should annuities be in 401(k)s at all?

Leadership isn't scripted...and neither is this conversation. In Episode 35 of Aspire Mailbag, Josh Stamper and Jeff Gargas tackle two listener questions that every leader has wrestled with (even if they won't admit it):
Dr. Monty Pal and Dr. Pauline Funchain discuss the latest efforts to diagnose, prevent, and treat the series of immune-related adverse events that have emerged in the era of immunotherapy. TRANSCRIPT Dr. Monty Pal: Hello, and welcome to the ASCO Daily News Podcast. I am Monty Pal, a medical oncologist, professor and vice chair of medical oncology at the City of Hope Comprehensive Cancer Center in Los Angeles, California. Now, it is probably no surprise to this audience that immunotherapy has transformed the treatment landscape for multiple cancer types. It remains a pillar of modern oncology. Having said that, I think we have all been baffled by certain toxicities that we run into in the clinic. Today, I am delighted to be joined by Dr Pauline Funchain to discuss some of the checkpoint inhibitor toxicities that people struggle with most. And we will also touch on some side effects of immunotherapy beyond checkpoint inhibitors: CAR-T cells, bispecifics, so on and so forth. Dr Funchain is a dear friend, and she is an associate professor and associate director of cancer research training and education at the Stanford Cancer Institute. She is co-director of the Immunotherapy Toxicity Program and the Skin Cancer Genomics Program at Stanford, where she also serves as associate program director of hematology and oncology fellowship. Dr. Funchain is also the co-founder of ASPIRE, and we are going to talk about that a little bit today, the Alliance for the Support and Prevention of Immune-Related Events. FYI for listeners, if you are interested in our disclosures, they are available at the transcript of this episode. Pauline, thanks so much for joining us today. Dr. Pauline Funchain: Monty, thank you for this invitation. It is always great to talk. Dr. Monty Pal: So, for the audience, Pauline and I know each other from my days as a fellow at City of Hope. She was a resident at Harbor UCLA and a stellar resident at that. It has just been amazing to sort of see your career grow and blossom and to witness all the cool things that you are doing. ASPIRE, in particular, sort of caught my eye. So again, for listeners, this is the Alliance for the Support and Prevention of Immune-Related Events. Can you tell us a little bit briefly about the genesis of that, how that came about? Dr. Pauline Funchain: So, there was a bunch of us who were really struggling, I mean, all of us have struggled with these immune-related adverse events, these irAEs. You know, they are new disease states, and even though they look like autoimmune diseases, they tend to need a whole lot more steroid than autoimmune diseases do and they do not totally present in the same way. And in fact, you know, Triple-M, or Triple-M overlap syndrome, is a completely new irAE, a new immune state that we have never had before the advent of checkpoint inhibitor. And so a Triple-M, for those of you who are not as familiar, that is the constellation of myocarditis, myositis, and myasthenia gravis, something that never occurs as a natural autoimmune disease. So we were starting to realize that there were some major differences with these irAEs and autoimmune diseases. We could not treat them the right way. We really needed to learn more about them. And a bunch of us who had interest in this said, "Look, we really need to be all in one space to talk about what we are doing," because all of our treatments were our own little homegrown brews, and we needed to really get together and understand how to treat these things, how to diagnose them, and then learn more about them. So, Dr. Alexa Meara from Ohio State, Dr. Kerry Reynolds from Mass Gen, we put together this research consortium, brought together all of our irAE friends, got our best subspecialists together in a research consortium, which is now only about a year and a half old. And we made this research consortium, the Alliance for Support of Prevention of Immune-Related Events, and we reached out to ASCO, and ASCO was so kind to grant us a [Alliance for Support and Prevention of Immune-Related adverse Events (ASPIRE)] Community of Practice. So we met for the first time as a Community of Practice at the ASCO Annual Meeting just this past June and really got an ASCO community together to really think about how to again, diagnose, prevent, treat irAEs. Dr Monty Pal: This is interesting to me. The ASCO Community of Practice phenomenon is something that I was not super familiar with. Can you explain to our listenership what is the ASCO Community of Practice model? If you have particular interests, how do you sort of get one started? Dr Pauline Funchain: Yeah, so ASCO has an entire page on their Community of Practice. There are multiple Community of Practice groups or COPs. There are ones for Supportive Oncology and Survivorship. There is Women in Oncology. There is a group for International Medical Graduates. And there is about, I think 10 or 12 now that have a physical presence at ASCO but also a virtual presence on the ASCO Community of Practice site. So, if you were interested in any one of these, and you can see them on the ASCO Communities of Practice sites, you would ask to become a member. Once granted membership, then there is a whole webpage of postings and conversations that people can have. You can get email digests of conversations that happen on the website, and then you can anchor it with in-person participation at the Annual Meeting. Dr Monty Pal: That is awesome, and I can think of so many different foci within oncology that really sort of deserve a Community of Practice. This definitely being one of them. You know, it strikes me as being so interesting. I mean, the checkpoint inhibitors have been around for a while now. I think when you and I were in training, gosh, back then, these were just a little bit of a pipe dream, right? But having said that, I would probably say that more than half of my kidney cancer practice is either on checkpoint inhibitors, and the vast majority have been on one at some point in their past, right? With that in mind, you know, we have all treated a lot of patients with these drugs. Why is it that we still struggle to manage the toxicities? And just to take that one step further, what are some of the toxicities that, perhaps through ASPIRE or through your experience, people struggle with the most? Dr Pauline Funchain: So, I think we are still struggling with these because again, they are new disease states, right? This is what we all experienced with COVID, a brand-new virus and a brand-new syndrome. We now have 20-plus of these as irAEs. And what we have realized about them is the immune activation that happens with these is so much more than what we have seen with autoimmune diseases. So for instance, if you have a Crohn's or ulcerative colitis, you will top out at 40 to 60 milligrams of prednisone if a Crohn's flare or ulcerative colitis flare happens. But for our severe IR colitises, you know, it is at least 1 mg per kg, often goes up to 2 mg per kg. We, in some cases, have done 1 gram pulses if we are worried that somebody is going to perforate. So that was sort of like the first 5 years of treating irAE, and then now in the sort of second 5 years of treating irAE, we have realized that that is a lot of immunosuppression, and we might be able to get away with less with the newer biologics that are on board. So, we are struggling to try to get the data for some of these irAEs that we knew, we have known for a while, but to try to get newer treatments that may immunosuppress less so that you may still be able to retain that tumor response. And in fact, some of the preclinical studies suggest that some of these biologics may actually synergize with the immunotherapy and actually make the immunotherapy more effective from a tumor perspective and calm down the irAE as sort of the bystander effect. So we are still trying to optimize those. Getting up trials in the space has been very difficult. That is one of the reasons for the genesis of ASPIRE because we realized we needed to band together to have a bigger voice in that realm. Then there are other things that are brand new. So we talked about Triple-M. So Triple-M, again, with Triple-M or any myocarditis or myasthenia, I mean, there is about a 50% chance of death from irAE based on the literature. I think we are getting better at recognizing this, and so at Stanford we have some data to say that if you serially follow troponin, that maybe your outcomes are better. You can potentially lower the percentage of cases that are fatal because you can catch them early. I mean, this is all preliminary data, but again, these are all things that are evolving, and we do not all have the right answer. I mean, even the serial troponin thing, I think, is pretty controversial. And in fact, at one of our quarterly Zoom meetings that we are doing in ASPIRE in December is going to sort of flush out that controversy about serial troponin measuring and what is the best thing to use? Would you use something like abatacept or would you use ruxolitinib? Which one is better? I think there is a lot of controversy still about these things. Dr Monty Pal: You have really piqued my curiosity here because you think about the cons of treating irAEs, right? And I worry exactly about what you had mentioned, right, which is, "Gosh, what is going on with this tumor in terms of immunosuppression?" But you think about some of the newer agents, you mentioned ruxolitinib, I have heard of dasatinib, for instance, in this setting. Frankly speaking, a lot of these, as you point out, are really thought of as being also anticancer drugs. So you have really got me thinking about the potential synergy between perhaps suppressing an irAE and augmenting antitumor activity, which I think is very interesting. Am I on the right track with that? Dr Pauline Funchain: I think so, but you will find that a lot of people will not even go there because they are worried about how much immunosuppression you are going to cause. I am at heart a geneticist, but I think an immunologist will happily tell you that the immune system is very complex. There are multiple pathways, and these drugs do not all target the same immune pathways. So if we understand a little bit more about the pathways we are targeting and pick apart the pathways that are really, really tumor relevant and the other pathways that are not tumor relevant, you may be able to piece together a better marriage of tumor response and irAE control. Dr Monty Pal: Kind of on this topic, and again, leaning on your background in genetics, where are we in terms of predicting these irAEs? I mean, you would think the holy grail would be picking out a snip or something of this for it, right, that could potentially identify that patient who is going to get Triple-M or, you know, at the very least a significant high-grade irAE event. Are we anywhere closer to that in 2025? Dr Pauline Funchain: There have been data published. There have been some big GWAS studies. All of the effect sizes are pretty small. So there are some prediction algorithms, but none of them are clinically useful. And I think when you look at the odds ratios, they will increase risk by maybe 20%. I think one of the things that we found in a very small series and supported anecdotally is something as easy as family history of autoimmune disease is probably more predictive at this point than any of those types of markers. I think we will get there, but we are not anywhere near where we would like to be. Things like TMB also, actually, there is some good data about higher TMB, higher risk of irAE too. Dr Monty Pal: Interesting. I see all this data coming through, IL-8 polymorphisms, etc. And I just wondered if any of that was ready for prime time. But I mean, this is a good message for the practicing clinician. Sounds like we are not quite there yet. And I could probably keep you on for another entire podcast to talk about this topic, but let us see if we can at least skim the surface. I never thought I would see the day when BiTEs and CAR-Ts were entering into my kidney cancer practice, but in fact, it is really become central to a lot of our clinical trials in RCC these days. I would be lying if I did not say that I was not struggling with the toxicities and so forth associated with these drugs. Can you give us a quick primer, maybe just good resources that people can go to for managing toxicity with BiTEs and with CAR and with some of these novel therapeutic modalities that we are using in the oncology clinics? Dr Pauline Funchain: I know there is a recently published toxicity manual for BiTEs in hematologic malignancies, I think it was in Blood. CAR-T is covered in many irAE guidelines. So ASCO guidelines actually has a CAR-T [cell therapy guideline], and I would be remiss not to point out that actually ASCO has a, I am a little biased, but a wonderful guideline on irAE that is actually being updated as we speak. We are hoping for publication next year. I find the format of that, there are many guidelines out there, actually. There is ASCO, SITC, ESMO has a guideline for irAE, but I find the formatting of the ASCO guideline to be much easier to flip through during clinic, just because of the visual format of the tables. But that is going to be updated next year. And with CAR-T, there is now multiple publications also in terms of guidelines. But what I will say about bispecifics and CAR-T, so they have very similar toxicities in terms of the cytokine release and also with the ICANS, so the neurotoxicity. But what we have been finding that is really interesting with BiTEs and CAR-T, and actually even with TIL, cytokine release is very similar to some of the IL-2 toxicities but not identical that we see with TIL treatment. But now we are starting to see overlap. So patients who have been treated with immunotherapy and then go on to get a bispecific or then go on to get TIL, so I have seen some colitises that have occurred after the fact. Some of the newer CAR-Ts without checkpoint have been causing some really interesting, probably not in a good way, but interesting biologically, colitises that are really refractory. So we are starting to see some overlap, and again, I think this field is just evolving constantly. Dr Monty Pal: Yeah, no, I almost think I need to go back to that fellowship that you and I did together 20 years ago and, you know, and see if I could repeat some coursework on CAR-T management. You know, Pauline, I could probably keep you on the horn for hours, but this has just been terrific. Thank you so much for sharing all of your insights with us today on the ASCO Daily News Podcast.

Think mental strength means hiding your feelings and pretending everything's fine while your life is falling apart? Think again. In this laugh-out-loud yet eye-opening episode, we dive into what mental strength really means — and spoiler alert, it's not about becoming some emotionless tough guy who never cries at Disney movies.We break down the myths, the mind traps, and the three pillars of real mental power — thoughts, behaviors, and emotions — all in plain, human language (with plenty of jokes along the way). You'll learn why “toughing it out” isn't strength, how to stop building anxiety igloos, and how to train your brain the same way you'd train a muscle… without needing a therapist in spandex.By the end, you'll walk away understanding that mental strength isn't about being unbreakable — it's about learning to bend, bounce back, and maybe even laugh through the chaos.
The fastest way to grow your business besides the operational part is through social media. And do you know what the craziest part is? It's completely free. Today's video is my keynote at the Aspire conference in San Diego, California. I talk about the importance of loving the game to be successful in business, the importance of self-awareness and accountability, and what holds most people back from making content. I also share practical advice on how to make winning content on social. Hope you enjoy!
n this explosive hearing clip, a Republican lawmaker goes off-script and lays out what he claims is the real motive behind the Democrat-led government shutdown. From accusations of taxpayer money being funneled to foreign causes to claims of fear-driven politics, his fiery speech pulls no punches.He says Democrats are “held hostage by the far-left” and more afraid of losing political power than helping American workers, families, and service members. Whether you agree or not, this moment is igniting fierce debate across social media.
What if behavior support wasn't a system to manage but a promise to keep? In this inspiring episode of Aspire to Lead, Joshua Stamper and guest Tim Grivois explore how leaders can transform traditional approaches to behavior into authentic commitments to student well-being and inclusion. Drawing from his experiences as a teacher, principal, and consultant, Tim challenges the norms of PBIS and “Check-In/Check-Out” systems, offering strategies that center relationships, trust, and belonging. Together, they unpack how to empower staff through meaningful professional learning, better support students with ADHD, and model true self-care that sustains both educators and school culture. About Tim Grivois: Dr. Tim Grivois believes professional development should feel like a conversation about something we are building together, not a compliance exercise. After more than twenty-two years as a teacher, school leader, and now the Executive Director of TGS Educational Consulting, Tim helps schools design learning experiences that respect how adults learn and make it easier to live the learning out loud in classrooms the next day. Through TGS, Tim partners with schools and districts across the country to simplify PBIS, Check-In/Check-Out (CICO), social-emotional learning, and ADHD-inclusive practices so they feel more human and less like paperwork. His sessions are known for being practical, relational, and fun, creating space for educators to laugh, connect, and try new ideas without fear of getting it wrong. A teacher once told him, “I was going to call out sick today, but I saw you on the calendar and decided not to.” That is the kind of PD Tim aims to create. Tim writes and speaks about adult learning, educator wellness, behavior support, and ADHD in ways that connect research to everyday realities. He believes that when educators feel safe, seen, and trusted, they learn better, and when professional learning feels relevant and collaborative, everyone wins. Tim lives in Tucson, Arizona, where he spends time cooking for his family, lifting heavy circles at the gym, and exploring the desert with his partner and kids. His guiding principle is simple: professional learning should honor the people doing the learning and invite everyone to live the learning out loud together.

One in four Irish women (24%) would like to start their own business, compared to 30% of men, according to new research conducted by Amárach Research on behalf of the Local Enterprise Offices (LEOs) to mark National Women's Enterprise Day (NWED), taking place nationwide today. The research highlights that while ambition among women remains strong, significant barriers continue to hold many back, particularly financial fear, confidence, and caring commitments. Almost half of women (45%) say fear of financial instability is stopping them from starting a business, compared with 35% of men. Meanwhile, three in ten women (30%) say a lack of confidence holds them back, and one in four (24%) report that caring commitments prevent them from pursuing their entrepreneurial ambitions - more than double the rate among men (10%). The research also shows that interest in starting a business among women varies significantly by age. Younger women are the most likely to aspire to start a business, with ambition highest among those aged 18-24 (36%), before gradually declining among those aged 25-44 (28%). This drops further among women aged 45-64 (18%) and is lowest among those aged 65 and over (8%). Niamh Smyth, T.D., Minister of State for Trade Promotion, Artificial Intelligence and Digital Transformation, said, "National Women's Enterprise Day (NWED) is not just for those women who currently own or run a business, it's for all women who have a business idea and need that encouragement to take that first step. I understand the barriers faced by Women in business and regularly meet advocacy groups that share ideas on how to address some of these barriers, including issues such as underrepresentation, access to networks, access to capital, and mentorship and role models. Tackling these barriers is what makes National Women's Enterprise Day so important, and I'm proud of the role the Local Enterprise Offices have played in this. The cumulative effect of NWED has been to cultivate an entire generation of female entrepreneurs empowered with the skills, belief and support to start and grow successful businesses. Today places a spotlight on women in enterprise and boosts the visibility of women in business. This is vitally important for the next generation of female Entrepreneurs to view themselves as businesswomen" Aileen McGrath, Chair of National Women's Enterprise Day, said: "This research shows there is real ambition among Irish women to start their own business, but for too many, barriers still stand in the way. Confidence, financial concerns, and caring commitments continue to feature strongly as barriers, and that's exactly what National Women's Enterprise Day and the Local Enterprise Offices are here to help address. "Through the Local Enterprise Office network, women can access practical supports, expert mentoring, and financial advice to help turn ideas into action. Whether it's hearing from another woman who's done it, building new skills, or learning where to find funding and support, National Women's Enterprise Day shows that starting a business is possible and that no woman must do it alone. "NWED is about empowerment and reminding women that supports are there in every local authority across the country and that the Local Enterprise Offices are ready to help on the journey. The ambition is clear, our role is to help remove the barriers and give women the confidence, tools, and encouragement to take that first step." Now in its 19th year, National Women's Enterprise Day is organised by the Local Enterprise Offices with 15 events taking place across the country, bringing together some of Ireland's most inspiring and successful female entrepreneurs. Some of those involved in the events across the country this year include broadcaster and entrepreneur, Norah Casey, international human rights lawyer Joanna Frivet, author and psychologist, Dr Katriona O'Sullivan, designer Helen Steele, entrepreneur Oonagh O'Hagan, home and food influenc...

Our guest on this week's episode is Amanda Hedberg, vice president of Strategic Initiatives at Aspire, a Chicago non-profit organization that works to place people with disabilities into the labor market. October is National Disability Employment Awareness Month.

We explained how the market got to that point and what is being done to better utilize the abundant space.Ben also shares about another session on the rise of the “synthetic workforce,” which is a term for increasing applications in artificial intelligence, and specifically agentic AI. Speakers stressed that the Synthetic Workforce is not just on the horizon but is already here.

Buckle up for a high-octane exploration of automotive industry trends and challenges that are reshaping the market landscape. We dive deep into the alarming rise of "credit bust out" scams targeting dealerships, where criminals orchestrate the purchase of multiple vehicles through falsified loan applications before credit reports can catch up.

Today’s hour of power is about being “ALL IN”. All in is about being fully committed, and ON FIRE, with Passion! Commitment and Passion are the real, difference makers. Mr. Black will ask listeners to consider are the FULLY COMMITTED or whether they are just participating. We are encouraged to live an examined life, as we seek to find the purpose of our existence. God is looking for people who are fully committed! On today’s Like It Matters Radio Mr. Black will use the book by Walter A. Henrichsen titled, “Many Aspire, few attain”. It is about being ALL IN for the Kingdom and our Lord, Jesus. When you're fully committed, distractions lose their grip. Your energy isn't scattered across competing priorities—it's channeled like a laser. That kind of focus breeds excellence. “All in” people don’t quit when it gets hard. They adapt, learn, and push through. Commitment creates emotional stamina, which is often the real currency of success. Join Mr. Black as he takes listeners on a journey of introspection and hope as he challenges them to BE ALL IN! Tune into this powerful hour as Mr. Black has listeners consider whether they are a chicken or a pig! Oink, oink!

Wall Street Journal, CNN, Fortune, Barrons, HGTV Frank McKinney is a true modern-day Renaissance man who has pushed the limits of success in his every endeavor. His early years were not very promising: upon attending his 4th high school in 4 years (he was asked to leave the first 3), and seven stints in juvenile detention, he earned his high school diploma with a 1.8 GPA. With $50 in his pocket and without the benefit of further education, he left his native Indiana for Florida in search of his life's highest calling. Today, Frank's life is a testament to the power of aspiration to create a completely new reality. As a real estate artist he has created and sold 44 oceanfront mansions on spec, with an average price of $14 million. Frank recently announced he was un-retiring and coming back to create more real estate artistry! See two short films that were just made about Frank's exciting comeback! As a philanthro-capitalist, Frank has built 30 self-sustaining villages over the last 20 years in Haiti, providing 13,600+ children and their families with homes, schools, clinics, community centers, churches, renewable food and clean water, and means to support themselves. A best-selling author, actor, and keynote speaker, Frank has written seven books in six genres, with the title, premise and cover for his 8th book in his 7th genre being revealed at an exciting stunt Frank will perform on Friday the 13th of January, 2023! Frank has starred in four movies, and keynoted before audiences of ten to ten thousand around the world. Physically, Frank has pushed the limit of his body by racing in the Badwater 135-mile Ultramarathon 12x in the scorching summer in Death Valley, California, a race referred to by National Geographic as “the world's toughest footrace.” As with all of his books, Frank wrote his latest bestseller Aspire! in his Delray Beach, Florida, oceanfront treehouse office that has spectacular views and includes a bamboo desk, shower, bathroom, sink, air-conditioning, hardwood floors, cedar walls, a loft with a king size bed, and a suspension bridge to the master bedroom in the main house—that's Frank's commute to and from work! Today Frank and Nilsa, his wife of 32 years, split their time between Delray Beach and their “glass cottage” in the mountains of Canton, North Carolina. They enjoy visiting their 24 year-old daughter, Laura, in New York City, where she started and runs StrataBrand, a brand strategy firm. © 2025 All Rights Reserved © 2025 Building Abundant Success!!

When Camryn's fearless 4-year-old suddenly became anxious, her gut said something deeper was wrong. Multiple “all clear” evaluations followed—until a post-virus crash at age 6 that led to a diagnosis under the PANS/PANDAS umbrella (autoimmune encephalitis). Camryn shares how a steadfast pediatrician, early referrals, and balancing clinical guidance with peer support helped her daughter reclaim everyday life—right down to summer swim league. She also opens up about protecting her child's privacy, supporting siblings, starting trauma therapy, and building margin for joy. This is a masterclass in parental advocacy, nervous-system care, and creating a trusted circle around your child. Y Resources mentioned PANDAS Parents (national Facebook community) — peer support and practical tips. ASPIRE (clinical education & navigation for PANS/PANDAS). MomBrain.com — anonymous Q&A platform for moms (Camryn is co-founder). School-based supports (counselor, principal, buddy programs) for siblings.
You might think, "Where do we go from here, where we are now, to there, somewhere near there?" Of course, we hold these subject matters high above our heads. We aspire, after first trying to deserve. This is the instruction Srila Prabhupada gave in Los Angeles. I remember 1976: "First deserve, then desire, never aspire." What does that mean? "First deserve," engage in Krishna's service, capture the attention of Krishna, capture the attention of Srimati Radharani, and then you can desire. Yes, "Let me serve them for their pleasure." But "never aspire." What does he mean, "never aspire?" "First deserve, then desire, never aspire." He explained, from your low position—he was quite graphic—"From your monkey position, don't jump to the top of the tree." First deserve, and then develop some genuine spiritual desire. But never, from your position on the ground, aspire that you want to jump to the top of the tree. So I wanted to share with you some realizations I've had about the mysticism, the Gauranga mysticism behind ISV.

This is the most motivational, eye-opening episode that you will ever hear, and it will give you the roadmap to become the person you've always wanted to be. Today, Mel is joined by Emma Grede.

She proves that anything is possible when you refuse to quit. Today, she has built 3 billion-dollar companies, became a Shark on Shark Tank, and is the host of Aspire with Emma Grede – in addition to being a mom of 4.In this conversation, Emma will give you the mindset, the strategy, and the motivation to bet on yourself when the world doubts you.
