What Happens When Strong Consumers, Limited Supply, and Leasing Demand Collide?Retail real estate is not just stable — it is entering a meaningfully better phase of the cycle.Drawing on recent conversations with owners, brokers, tenants, architects, engineers, and contractors, Chris Ressa challenges the prevailing narrative that 2026 will simply mirror a solid 2025. Instead, he outlines why the year ahead could outperform expectations across leasing, rents, and long-term fundamentals.At the center of his thesis is sustained leasing velocity. Across categories and markets, tenant demand continues to outpace available supply, even as headlines focus on isolated retailer struggles. Chris explains why those failures do not define the health of retail — and why today's winners are expanding with conviction.He also breaks down why early-2025 disruptions, including an unusually high number of store closures and tariff uncertainty, are unlikely to repeat in 2026. With bankruptcies moderating, new construction still muted, and many signed tenants yet to open, available retail space is tightening further.Layer in a U.S. consumer expected to gain discretionary spending power, and the result is a collision of forces that may finally unlock meaningful rent growth. Chris argues this is the early innings of a retail pricing cycle — and 2026 could be the year it clearly shows up.What You'll HearWhy 2026 could outperform already-strong 2025 resultsHow leasing velocity is signaling a tighter retail marketThe impact of fewer bankruptcies on available retail spaceWhy muted new construction matters more than headlines suggestHow rising consumer discretionary income supports rent growthWhat the next retail pricing cycle may look like for landlords and investorsChapters00:12 – Welcome to 2026Chris sets the stage with early sentiment from across the retail real estate industry.01:58 – Leasing Velocity Tells the Real StoryDemand for retail space continues to outpace supply across most categories.03:28 – Winners, Losers, and Retail RealityWhy retailer failures don't equal a weak retail sector.05:32 – Bankruptcies, Tariffs, and a Reset MarketHow 2025 disruptions slowed leasing—and why 2026 looks different.07:26 – The Consumer Comes Back Into FocusRising discretionary income and its impact on physical retail demand.08:18 – Rent Growth vs. Landlord CapExHow economics are shifting tenant and landlord cost burdens.09:03 – The Early Innings of a Pricing CycleWhy multiple forces are colliding to push rents higher.10:55 – What's Next for Retail Retold

Emily went from living the "picture-perfect" life with four kids and a 6,000-square-foot house to nursing her baby in a bankruptcy lawyer's office, only to discover her marriage would crumble under the weight of financial chaos years later. After bankruptcy, a divorce, and her ex-husband becoming homeless, this fierce single mom clawed her way to earning $100K annually while raising kids —completely on her own financially. In a breakthrough moment, she laid bare every bank account to her 16-year-old son, teaching him what "save your money" really means through radical transparency that brought him to tears and transformed his spending habits forever. This is the story every woman needs to hear about breaking free from financial trauma, having the hard money conversations before marriage, and building generational wealth through honest, actionable lessons—not just empty words.

On this episode of MOJO: The Meaning of Life and Business, Jennifer Glass sits down with Florida attorney Shawn Yesner, founder of Yesner Law and host of the Crushing Debt podcast. Together, they tackle the complex topic of debt—discussing the differences between “good” and “bad” debt, debunking common myths about bankruptcy, and exploring how financial setbacks don't have to mean the end of your journey.Drawing from Shawn Yesner's decades of experience helping clients overcome financial challenges, the conversation dives into the realities behind bankruptcy law, the importance of seeking professional guidance, and how most people who file bankruptcy are simply seeking a fresh start after unexpected life events. Along the way, Shawn Yesner shares his personal story of building his own law firm, how his background shaped his passion for empowering others, and why the “phoenix” is a central symbol in his practice.If you're facing financial pressure or just want honest insight into what happens when debt becomes overwhelming, this episode offers practical advice, reassurance, and real-life strategies for moving forward—whether you're an individual, entrepreneur, or family needing that crucial second chance.About my guest: Shawn M. Yesner is a Florida native dedicated to empowering homeowners and consumers to overcome financial challenges.

While big corporations and AI-driven investments dominate GDP numbers, small businesses are being crushed by rising costs, regulations, tariffs, taxes, and energy prices they simply can't absorb.Drawing on what bankruptcy attorneys are seeing firsthand, Chris argues this is a classic recession signal that's being ignored by media cheerleaders and political spin. Small businesses have always been America's job engine, and when they start failing, the broader economy follows. No matter what politicians are celebrating—from foreign policy wins to market highs—voters will stay focused on the same thing they always do: the economy.

Now there's hope of a free Cuba for our long lost family there and hope of making past wrongs right once again. I'm with President Trump all the way. Cuba should be a rich, island paradise and it can be as a US territory. It's a strategic asset for our safety too as a base of operations to defend our homeland in the mainland US. There's no downside to toppling the communists who've only stayed in power by killing and jailing Cubans for decades. Now is the time. It can also serve as a helpful spot to run any US/Venezuela operations that benefits America instead of a narco pass through entity used by our enemies as a constant threat to American safety. Russia, China, Venezuela and many others have used Cuba to threaten us for long enough. It's time we take control and empower the Cuban people. No American blood needs to be spilled. This can be a massive win for the future of both Cuba and more importantly, for America.

And the Department of War — and the American people — expect justice. Therefore, in response to Senator Mark Kelly's seditious statements — and his pattern of reckless misconduct — the Department of War is taking administrative action against Captain Mark E. Kelly, USN (Ret). The department has initiated retirement grade determination proceedings under 10 U.S.C. § 1370(f), with reduction in his retired grade resulting in a corresponding reduction in retired pay. To ensure this action, the Secretary of War has also issued a formal Letter of Censure, which outlines the totality of Captain (for now) Kelly's reckless misconduct. This Censure is a necessary process step, and will be placed in Captain Kelly's official and permanent military personnel file. Captain Kelly has been provided notice of the basis for this action and has thirty days to submit a response. The retirement grade determination process directed by Secretary Hegseth will be completed within forty five days. Captain Kelly's status as a sitting United States Senator does not exempt him from accountability, and further violations could result in further action. These actions are based on Captain Kelly’s public statements from June through December 2025 in which he characterized lawful military operations as illegal and counseled members of the Armed Forces to refuse lawful orders. This conduct was seditious in nature and violated Articles 133 and 134 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice, to which Captain Kelly remains subject as a retired officer receiving pay. https://twitter.com/TonySeruga/status/2008201370458075286?s=20  energy, and corporatism, all are reliant on the narcos for dark funding.

President Trump shut down a fake news reporter who was trying to create a wedge between Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio.   A legacy media reporter tried to stir up a little trouble and President Trump promptly shut her down. “What you say that Marco Rubio has your ear more than the Vice President right now?” a reporter asked President Trump. Trump shut it down. “No! They both do. JD is very smart and doing a great job and so is Marco! I would say they're equal,” Trump said.

This is apparently the overture of what is to come – The Secret Dominion/Huawei Data Center in Belgrade, Serbia – that emphatically and officially did not exist – DID exist and was disabled by U.S. gov employees just days prior to the 2024 election. It has now been dismantled, which may disappoint former CIA Director John Brennan, who reportedly financed half of it from the CIA ‘Black Budget.’ The other half of the funding was from our dear friends in China. That’s right, the theft of The US Presidency and multiple other elections worldwide was co-financed by our own CIA – Top Venezuelan engineers who reportedly designed and executed multiple foreign based election frauds in America using Dominion and Smartmatic systems are in America under U.S. gov protection and have provided sworn testimony. They include an engineer who personally helped illegally install Joe Biden as President in 2020 – These engineers are also joined by General Hugo Carvjal, former Head of Venezuelan Intelligence, now in jail in New York (his cellmate is Diddy Combs) and he is cooperating with Fed authorities (see below) – Another Venezuelan General has now also joined General Carvjal in providing 1st person testimony – Official state and court adduced evidence of 2020 election fraud has been compiled for every one of the battleground states. Cowardice and corruption within the American judiciary has scuttled any real progress – Georgia corruption came into better focus last month as Fulton County admitted not following the law concerning over 300K ‘votes’ and then their most corrupt state judge agreed to unseal the 2020 ‘warehouse ballots,’ many of which are officially sworn to be likely counterfeit. What a sad crooked bunch – The DOJ is suing multiple states to require compliance with Federal election laws including HAVA – Georgia is among them – and @AAGDhillon is leading the charge – President Trump pardoned Tina Peters but corrupt Colorado officials refuse to release her from prison. Colorado wants to litigate her role as a Federal officer in their elections while her health declines due to their horrible conditions.

If the US MIL are going to conduct mass arrests, the public will need to trust them and trust Trump. So for those asking why Trump is arresting Maduro before arresting treasonous actors in the US, I think there is method to the madness. The high-profile US arrests will likely be towards the end, after more of the public are fully bought in on the operation to dismantle the Deep State. Arresting people is the easy part. Convincing billions of people that high-profile individuals, including former heads of state, need to be arrested… that's the tricky part. https://twitter.com/RapidResponse47/status/2008033626294792665?s=20 https://twitter.com/USDOL/status/2007933111729021305?s=20 (function(w,d,s,i){w.ldAdInit=w.ldAdInit||[];w.ldAdInit.push({slot:13499335648425062,size:[0, 0],id:"ld-7164-1323"});if(!d.getElementById(i)){var j=d.createElement(s),p=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];j.async=true;j.src="//cdn2.customads.co/_js/ajs.js";j.id=i;p.parentNode.insertBefore(j,p);}})(window,document,"script","ld-ajs");

Jill Ford never expected to find herself in prison. Entrepreneurial from a young age, she built a successful business fueled by ambition and growth — but overspending and financial pressure during the pandemic led her to fraudulently use pandemic relief loans, ultimately resulting in federal charges and prison time in Texas. In this episode of Locked In with Ian Bick, Jill opens up about the decisions that changed her life, what federal prison was really like, and how incarceration forced a complete reset. She also shares firsthand insight into serving time alongside Elizabeth Holmes and Jen Shah, offering a raw, cautionary story about ambition, consequences, and rebuilding after prison. _____________________________________________ #TrueCrime #FederalPrison #Fraud #PrisonStory #CrimeAndPunishment #ExCon #PrisonLife #truecrimestory _____________________________________________ Thank you to FRONTLINE HEALING FOUNDATION for sponsoring this episode: Visit https://frontlinehealingfoundation.org/ to donate or share their mission.

This week, iRobot, the pioneering American robotics company behind the Roomba, filed for bankruptcy and announced that it would be taken over by its Chinese creditor.

This podcast episode elucidates the intricate developments surrounding American Signature's Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings, wherein the U.S. Trustee has articulated significant objections regarding potential conflicts of interest. Specifically, the Trustee asserts that the affiliations among American Signature, SB360 Capital Partners, and other associated entities, all linked to the Schottenstein family, necessitate a thorough scrutiny to safeguard the bankruptcy estate's integrity. As the dialogue unfolds, we explore the implications of these proceedings on the broader furniture industry, particularly in light of the recent slowdown in sales momentum, as evidenced by the Department of Commerce's latest report. Furthermore, I will delve into the optimistic forecasts for manufacturing revenues in 2026, juxtaposed against the persistent challenges posed by rising raw material and labor costs. Lastly, we shall examine emerging trends within the market, including the burgeoning popularity of gaming furniture that reflects contemporary consumer behaviors, thereby providing a comprehensive overview of the current state of the industry.Takeaways: The bankruptcy proceedings of American Signature are under scrutiny due to potential conflicts of interest involving the Schottenstein family. Sales data indicates a troubling trend in the furniture industry, with only a minimal increase over the previous year's October figures. Manufacturers anticipate a promising financial outlook for 2026, expecting a revenue growth of approximately 4.4%. The introduction of multifunctional gaming furniture at the High Point market reflects evolving consumer lifestyles and preferences. Brandhouse Collective's disappointing sales figures underscore the challenges faced by retailers during the transition to Bed, Bath and Beyond. The ongoing rise in raw material and labor costs continues to challenge margin stability within the furniture manufacturing sector.

As a bankruptcy attorney, I know that getting that discharge and fresh start in your financial life can be liberating. No longer having the stress of carrying debt is great, but the next question is: where do you go from there? To answer that question, I talk to fellow bankruptcy attorney Barry Levine about the steps you can take to rebuild your financial life. In this episode you will learn: What you can do to make sure that your fresh start lasts About the bad money habits you see that prevent some people from achieving financial freedom post-bankruptcy About what they can do to change that What you can do to rebuild your credit

Everything successful starts with heart — even the most pragmatic business plan, says Sharon Price John, CEO of Build-A-Bear. She shares how she led a purpose-centered approach to save the beloved teddy bear company from bankruptcy and get it back to global profitability, all by asking one powerful question. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

John is joined by David Proman, Co-Founder and Managing Partner of Atlas Grove Partners and long-time Quinn Emanuel client.  They discuss David's extensive experience working with elite law firms, including Quinn Emanuel, on high stakes matters involving structured finance, digital assets, and complex bankruptcies.  At Atlas Grove and its subsidiary, GXD Labs, David has built an investment platform that identifies legal claims as investment opportunities.   One example of such an opportunity was David's early and aggressive pursuit of RMBS claims.  In 2010, David was at fund called Furry Partners that was the most activist fund manager in the RMBS space.  They pursued cases against the world's largest banks for breaches of warranties, which led to recovering almost $4 billion for Furry Partners' investors.  David worked with Quinn Emanuel partner Sasha Rand on many of these cases adding “we have great thanks and gratitude to Quinn Emanuel for working on this with us for over a decade against some of the world's most significant counterparties.” Another example was the Celsius bankruptcy.  Celsius was a crypto lending platform with 600,000 customers.  At its peak, it had almost $20 billion in liabilities.  Celsius's customers stored their Bitcoin, their Ethereum, or their digital tokens using deposits, similar to bank deposits.  When Bitcoin dropped dramatically in 2022, the company became insolvent and filed for bankruptcy.  Bankruptcy proceedings revealed numerous legal issues, including fraud. David's Blockchain Recovery Investment Consortium (BRIC) won the role of litigation administrator and crafted a plan focused on returning value to defrauded customers.  Working closely with Quinn Emanuel partner Ben Finestone, BRIC's strategy involved bringing claims against counterparties across the world who had harmed Celsius before it went bankrupt.  One of BRIC's biggest recoveries resulted from a $300 million settlement with Tether.  David credits Ben with bringing strong legal claims and strategies to defeat “issues that I don't think have ever been litigated before in crypto.” When working with law firms, success depends on aligning the incentives of the firm and the client, maintaining open communication, and active client involvement in developing legal strategies, especially in complex or novel sectors like cryptocurrencies.  Counsel should be both strategically creative and brutally honest about risks.  As David said, “that's part of the reason why I love you guys: because you always give me honest feedback.”  David also believes that fee structures should prioritize results over billable hours.  After the case, all parties should reflect on both wins and losses to continuously improve decision-making.   Finally, David and John discuss the evolving legal risk in AI infrastructure, where opaque contracts and fast-changing technology may spark future waves of litigation.Podcast Link: Law-disrupted.fmHost: John B.
