The temptation to cling to what's worked in the past is strong, especially in a business built on consistency, relationships, and routine. But what if your current “normal” is holding you back from your next level of growth? In this episode of From Busy To Rich, host Wes Young and co-host Justin Lakin unpack the power and danger of habit. Through the lens of a cautionary tale about Blockbuster's downfall and Netflix's rise, they explore why financial advisors must actively challenge their status quo to stay relevant and fulfilled. Wes offers a powerful framework for navigating the tension between tradition and innovation, showing that real growth doesn't come from starting over, but from constant reinvention. What to expect from this episode: Why defending “the way we've always done it” can silently kill momentum How to spot fear and fatigue as enemies of growth A simple 4-part framework to define your current operating model Why periodic reinvention is the key to sustained profitability and human potential And more!

What's the secret to keeping your balance? The ear does more than hear: it helps us stay stable by perceiving movements and gravity. Elegant sensors deep within the skull detect every twist, turn, and tumble, powering swift reflexes that keep vision and balance steady. This is the vestibular system. It's primordial and ubiquitous: every animal has one, and even plants have a rudimentary version. It works so well that we take it for granted--until it fails. How does this remarkable system function? What happens when it goes haywire? How can modern medicine treat vestibular disease? The Great Balancing Act: An Insider's Guide to the Human Vestibular System (Columbia UP, 2025) tells the story of the vestibular system, from T. rex hearing organs to cochlear implants, and from the unsung power of hair cells to inner-ear problems in outer space. Combining neuroscience, history, and medicine, Jeffrey D. Sharon--a vestibular doctor and researcher--explains the sense of balance using accessible language and wry humor. He recounts how pioneering scientists solved the mysteries of the vestibular system and shows why it is necessary for spatial reasoning and abstract thought. Sharon explores the devastating consequences of vestibular problems such as vertigo, dizziness, and imbalance, offering an expert, patient-friendly look at emerging and future treatments. Engaging and entertaining, this book invites readers to discover a little-known yet vital part of ourselves. Learn more about your ad choices.

There's a moment every HR professional remembers — that first email, that first conversation, that first tremor in the air when “return to office” stopped being a policy discussion and started being personal. Three years ago, the message was simple: Stay home, stay safe. Now it's: Come back. And in between, everything about how we work — and what we value — has changed.In this episode of Human Solutions, Pete Wright sits down with AIM HR Solutions' Tom Jones and Annette Dupree to explore the strange, often uneasy middle ground between flexibility and structure, empathy and compliance. It's a story about the quiet negotiations happening in every workplace — between leaders trying to rebuild culture and employees trying to preserve the balance they finally found.Annette starts with something deceptively simple: mindset. What if return-to-office isn't about control, but reconnection? What if the message isn't we need you here, but we miss you here? From that shift, a thousand possibilities open up — from reimagining flexibility to reframing belonging.Tom, meanwhile, brings the legal lens: what happens when compassion meets compliance? When a doctor's note becomes a line in the sand? He explains the fine print of the interactive dialogue — that delicate conversation between employee, manager, and HR that determines what's possible and what isn't. It's the kind of process that sounds bureaucratic but, done right, can restore trust instead of eroding it.And then there's the harder truth: sometimes, it isn't about coming back. It's about who comes back. Reductions in force test the soul of an organization. Tom and Annette walk through how to make those decisions — how to document criteria, avoid bias, and resist the all-too-human temptation to let frustration drive strategy. Because when layoffs happen, the work doesn't end. It shifts.This is an episode about the messy, necessary work of being human at work — and the leaders who try, every day, to get it right.

In Episode 69, Frank invites Chris Krueger, Strategist with TD Cowen's Washington Research Group, to join the pod to help navigate the fast-moving developments in Washington including the government work stoppage, Canada-US trade negotiations, and the postmortem of President Trump's recent Whitehouse meeting with Ukraine President Zelensky. Frank describes trade negotiations as slogging along given that the two countries have incredibly inter-twined economies, and a complex trade and security relationship. Pipelines are back in the news and Frank weighs the pros and cons of a Keystone restart or pipeline to the Northern BC Coast with continued expansion of existing infrastructure. Chris provides our mostly Canadian audience with a 101 on gerrymandering, and its impact on mid-term elections. The two geopolitical experts finish up discussing the merits of a Nobel Peace Prize for Trump and potential end to the war in Ukraine. This podcast was recorded on October 20, 2025 Chapter Times:01:31 - Slogging Through Canada-US Trade Negotiations13:39 - Carney's Balancing Act with Canada's Premiers17:09 - Setting the Record Straight on Tariff Revenues22:20 - Pipelines Back in the News in Canada29:07 - Explaining Washington's Work Stoppage33:53 - Is Stellantis's Brampton Plant Closure the Canary?38:33 - Gerrymandering Gone Wild43:41 - Peace Negotiations in Middle East and Ukraine  For relevant disclosures, visit: tdsecurities.com/ca/en/legal#PodcastDisclosure.

Can Taipei maintain stability amid great power competition? Taiwan is facing rising Chinese pressure and increasingly uncertain US backing. As cross-strait tensions intensify, the central question for Taipei is whether it can maintain its delicate status quo. In this episode of Global Security Briefing, Neil Melvin is joined by Dr Philip Shetler-Jones, Senior Research Fellow for Indo-Pacific Security at RUSI, to discuss Taiwan's strategic outlook following the Taipei Security Dialogue. - The discussion explores: - China's evolving strategy towards Taiwan, from military build-up to grey zone coercion. - The state of US policy under President Trump and its implications for deterrence. - How Taiwan's government and society are responding to growing uncertainty. - The prospects for maintaining the cross-strait status quo amid intensifying geopolitical rivalry.

Joanne Jean is a first-generation American whose parents emigrated from Haiti in the early 1990's. In this first episode of our special series, Voices from Haiti, Joanne shares personal details about her journey being raised in a Haitian household and how she challenged the traditions along the way. As the first-born child and the eldest daughter, the responsibilities were heavy at times, and required her to be an “adult” a bit earlier than her peers. She often had to translate English and interpret financial statements, and while her friends were having sleepovers, she wasn't allowed to go. Nevertheless, at the core of her upbringing, her parents raised her with connections to her Haitian culture deeply rooted in church, education and love for family. Joanne opens up about correcting culture while attempting to educate her parents about U.S. customs, and the various feelings and reactions that often accompanied her perceived defiance. As a proud graduate of Quinnipiac University, Joanne speaks about her education journey and the high expectations from her parents while they gently supported her along the way. Currently, she is a small business consultant and Program Coordinator, and it's her upbringing and cultural awareness, along with her intercultural competence, that guide her impactful work. She credits her parents and family for her deep love and appreciation for the Haitian community she has successfully grown up in.

The polls continue to show a narrow, but diminishing, advantage for Mark Carney's Liberals. But the polls also show that Canadians hold some complicated, and at terms contradictory, views when it comes to the United States and the prime minister's relationship with Donald Trump. It's a delicate balancing act for Carney — one that could easily go badly for the Liberals if they risked (or were forced into) an election in the fall.The week on The Numbers, we talk about the federal polling landscape and what it shows about Canadians' views on our relations with the United States. We also take one last look at the Newfoundland and Labrador provincial election, as well as what the polls are showing ahead of next week's mayoral elections in Calgary and Edmonton. Then, we close with a Quiz.Looking for even more of The Numbers?

This week on the Payne Points of Wealth, Bob, Ryan, Chris, and Courtney are joined by Washington Examiner columnist and sharp political commentator Tiana Lowe-Doescher for a deep dive into the complex intersection of politics and financial markets. We explore the Trump administration's push to lower interest rates — and why the Federal Reserve no longer dictates long-term yields like mortgage rates. Instead, it's the bond market calling the shots, driven by the sheer scale of our national debt. With 31% of the $29.7 trillion in marketable debt maturing within the next year, every 1% rise in interest rates could cost taxpayers nearly $100 billion — roughly the annual budget of the entire Department of Homeland Security. So, who really holds the reins on our national debt? Investor confidence has been shaken by the Trump administration's attempts to remove Fed Chair Jerome Powell. Meanwhile, we are headed to unknown territory as the government attempts to manage the US's $2 trillion annual deficit. We also break down how markets are responding to the Trump administration's aggressive tariff strategy. Despite implementing the steepest tariff regime in nearly a century, President Trump has defied economists' dire expectations — inflation hasn't surged, and economic growth remains resilient. Why? In part, thanks to tens of billions in savings from sweeping deregulation. Tiana helps us unpack the nuanced market reactions: investors are increasingly distinguishing between tariffs used to offset new debt issuance — which markets favor — and those aimed at shrinking trade deficits, which can disrupt the current account surplus and push Treasury yields higher. It's never easy! It's a timely, thought-provoking conversation on monetary policy, fiscal discipline, and the political forces shaping America's economic future. Don't miss it.

Mireia, més contemplativa, admirava el coratge del seu pare.En: Laia was smiling, curious, with a special interest in the sea; Mireia, more contemplative, admired her father's courage.Ca: "Pare, estàs preparat?" va preguntar Laia, amb energia.En: "Dad, are you ready?" asked Laia energetically.Ca: "Sí, filla", va respondre Oriol, amb un mig somriure.En: "Yes, daughter," replied Oriol, with a half-smile.Ca: Sabia que el futur de les noies depenia de les decisions que prenia avui.En: He knew the girls' future depended on the decisions he made today.Ca: Oriol s'enfrontava a un dilema: continuar amb els mètodes tradicionals de pesca o modernitzar-se, cosa que podria ser més sostenible per al futur.En: Oriol faced a dilemma: continue with traditional fishing methods or modernize, which could be more sustainable for the future.Ca: Aquella sortida podria canviar tot.En: That outing could change everything.Ca: Amb decisió, va salpar.En: With determination, he set sail.Ca: A l'aigua oberta, mentre les onades bressolaven el vaixell, Oriol pensava en el llegat de la seva família.En: In the open water, as the waves cradled the boat, Oriol thought about his family's legacy.Ca: Recordava les històries del seu avi, parlant de com la mar era font de vida, però també de respecte.En: He remembered his grandfather's stories, talking about how the sea was a source of life but also of respect.Ca: Imagineu el dolor de veure com la seva estimada mar canviava per sempre.En: Imagine the pain of seeing his beloved sea change forever.Ca: De sobte, un banc de peixos va aparèixer.En: Suddenly, a school of fish appeared.Ca: Oriol va notar que eren pocs, no com abans.En: Oriol noticed they were few, not like before.Ca: Aquell moment va ser una revelació.En: That moment was a revelation.Ca: Si no canviaven, el seu llegat podria desaparèixer en el temps.En: If they didn't change, their legacy could disappear over time.Ca: Va ser com si el mar li parlés directament.En: It was as if the sea were speaking directly to him.Ca: Després de tornar a port, amb Laia i Mireia amb ell, Oriol va prendre una decisió.En: After returning to port, with Laia and Mireia with him, Oriol made a decision.Ca: Modernitzaria algunes pràctiques per protegir aquelles aigües, però mai no abandonaria les lliçons del passat.En: He would modernize some practices to protect those waters, but he would never abandon the lessons of the past.Ca: Això seria el seu equilibri, la seva manera de preservar la tradició i alhora mirar cap al futur.En: This would be his balance, his way of preserving tradition while looking to the future.Ca: I així, Oriol va complir el seu objectiu: garantir un món marí per a la seva família i promoure respecte pel nostre entorn.En: And so, Oriol fulfilled his goal: to ensure a marine world for his family and to promote respect for our environment.Ca: Aquella tardor va marcar el començament d'una nova època en la qual les onades portaven amb elles l'esperança d'un futur més brillant, tant per a ells com per a la mar que tant estimaven.En: That autumn marked the beginning of a new era in which the waves brought with them the hope of a brighter future, both for them and for the sea they so loved.

Balancing school and sports as a Division I athlete requires discipline, mental fortitude, and often, late nights with little rest. Student-athletes at the University of Nevada say the workload both on the field and in the classroom can be overwhelming. For junior women's soccer forward Charlotte Bonney, one of the hardest parts is staying mentally present in class after long training days. “You end up being so drained physically and mentally that it's hard to focus sometimes,” Bonney said. She added that frequent travel for away games makes it easy to fall behind academically. Building strong communication with professors and classmates, she said, has become essential to keeping up. Junior forward Olivia Loomis faces a similar challenge. Majoring in public health, Loomis said the science heavy coursework can be difficult to balance with soccer's demanding schedule. “I try to finish assignments early so I can actually relax at night,” she said. Staying organized and creating daily to do lists, she explained, helps her manage the stress. Defender Natalie Borba said the experience of being a Division I athlete is both rewarding and exhausting. “It's taught me time management,” Borba said. “But it can definitely get overwhelming.” For Nevada athletes, the demands extend far beyond the field. Between classes, practices, film sessions, and travel, the mental strain often rivals the physical one. Still, many say the experience teaches resilience and balance, skills that will last long after their college careers end. Reporting by Ally Larkin

We're diving into one of those questions that every homeschooler wrestles with at some point: how much of learning should be fun, and how much should just be… work? In this episode, we tease apart what “fun” even means in the context of education, how it intersects with engagement and rigor, and where we've personally struggled with that balance. Expect our usual mix of keeping it real, laughing at ourselves, and challenging some of the assumptions we were raised with. We may not hand out a neat formula for getting it “right,” but we do have a lot to say about what's possible when joy and perseverance meet in homeschooling.Enter our October giveaway here:  http://bit.ly/3KBPTBt Let's continue the conversation on Patreon!

Universal has reopened Stardust Racers at Epic Universe, following a fatal incident earlier this year, and introduced new signage and stricter accessibility requirements. The latest safety guide now warns guests with weakened bones, limited mobility, or difficulty maintaining an upright position not to ride—and the “must walk independently” clause now extends across multiple attractions. Philip and Scott unpack what this means for operators who must balance guest safety, accessibility, and legal liability.

In this episode, Fixed Income Portfolio Manager Crista Caughlin breaks down the macro forces driving bond markets in 2025. From trade uncertainty to central bank policy shifts, Crista explains how these themes are shaping Canadian fixed income performance and where she sees opportunities ahead.   Key highlights: Trade policy uncertainty, fiscal stimulus, and tighter financial conditions have been key macroeconomic themes shaping global and Canadian bond markets, with U.S. trade actions and paused tariffs reducing some volatility but still weighing on Canadian growth and exports. Central banks, including the Bank of Canada and the U.S. Federal Reserve, have shifted from a wait-and-see approach to resuming rate cuts as growth slows and inflation pressures moderate, though questions about central bank independence and timing of policy moves remain. Canadian bond market performance has been driven by both falling interest rates—especially at the short end of the curve—and tightening credit spreads, with shorter maturities and lower-quality credits outperforming, while longer-dated bonds have lagged due to concerns about persistent inflation. The current strategy emphasizes a steepening yield curve, overweight positions in shorter-dated, higher-quality corporate bonds, and caution on longer maturities, reflecting expectations for continued central bank easing and ongoing risks from inflation and credit fundamentals. Despite recent headlines about rising bond-equity correlations and market risks, fixed income remains a valuable portfolio diversifier, offering higher yields than in recent years and providing a cushion against volatility and modest rate increases.   Host: Kevin Minas, CFA– Institutional Portfolio Manager Guest: Christa Caughlin, CFA– Portfolio Manager   This episode is available for download anywhere you get your podcasts.
