Featuring: Ammosart, Ashgar, Belghast, Kodra, and Thalen Hey Folks! We are down a Tam and a Grace this week but push through with a limited crew. Bel gets called out by Kodra for being entirely too comfortable with excessive grinds… this time specifically talking about World Completion in Guild Wars 2. Kirby Air Riders is a weird game and we talk a bout it. Bel shares his extended thoughts about Path of Exile II and its current state as well as the Demon Bear being pretty freaking great. Kodra has been trying to wrap up Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 and talks a bit about that. Ash is doing dumb things in Guild Wars 1 and apparently so is Kodra… so we talk about Guild Wars Reforged again. Ultimately Sheep Raccoon is the sequel to podcast favorite Ultimate Chicken Horse and we once again recommend it. Bel talks about the Paladin in Diablo IV and how it is almost as silly as the Last Epoch thorns build. Kodra talks a bit about Blitz Chess and Thalen is back in Warframe and talks about that. Topics Discussed: Bel's Grind Quotient Kirby Air Riders is Weird Path of Exile II Bear is Great Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Guild Wars 1 Nonsense Ultimate Sheep Raccoon Diablo IV Paladin is Silly Kodra and Blitz Chess Thalen back in Warframe
Ein Jahr der Extreme geht zu Ende: Der Dax stürmt trotz Trump-Zöllen und Gewinn-Flaute auf über 24.000 Punkte. Die beiden Wirtschaftsjournalisten Dietmar Deffner und Holger Zschäpitz streiten darüber, ob die teure Bewertung (KGV 18) das „neue Normal“ oder der Vorbote einer Korrektur oder Stagnation ist? Außerdem: Warum Silber mit einem Plus von 130 Prozent alle abhängt, wieso der Dollar in die Knie geht und ob jetzt noch die Weihnachtsrallye auf 25.000 Punkte folgt. DEFFNER & ZSCHÄPITZ sind wie das wahre Leben. Wie Optimist und Pessimist. Im wöchentlichen WELT-Podcast diskutieren und streiten die Journalisten Dietmar Deffner und Holger Zschäpitz über die wichtigen Wirtschaftsthemen des Alltags.

AI Unraveled: Latest AI News & Trends, Master GPT, Gemini, Generative AI, LLMs, Prompting, GPT Store
This week on the AI Unraveled Weekly Rundown, the numbers are staggering. We break down SoftBank's race to deploy $22.5 billion into OpenAI before the year ends, and the global record of $61 billion invested in data centers—a boom that is now causing land wars with farmers in Maryland.We also cover the 2026 roadmap, including Meta's leaked "Mango" and "Avocado" models, Google's delay in upgrading Assistant to Gemini, and the US government's probe into Nvidia H200 sales. Plus, ChatGPT hits $3 billion in mobile revenue, proving the consumer model works, even as developers struggle with "buggy" app stores.Key Topics:
Ohio State has landed a commitment from top North Carolina linebacker Quinton Cypher. In this breaking news episode of the Buckeye Weekly Podcast, Tony Gerdeman breaks down the news and what Cypher could bring to the Buckeyes.
Our industry is a mature one and because of that, growth stories are highly valuable. So today, we're looking deeply into the best growth opportunity for insurance in decades. And to that end we are going to examine an industry experiencing exponential growth and looking to multiply the amount of capital that it deploys tenfold over the next five years. We are of course talking about data centres. The huge demand for computer processing power unleashed by the boom in the application of artificial intelligence is a key driver of this new demand. On a recent results call, Aon CEO Greg Case said that this new phenomenon could generate over $10 billion in new premium volume in 2026 alone. But whilst the opportunity is enormous, so are the challenges. We won't get ten billion dollars in new premiums a year without taking on substantial new volumes of risk. The sheer scale of investment in new data infrastructure is staggering, putting immense pressure on traditional construction methods, supply chains, power grids, the environment, and of course the traditional insurance market that is being asked to provide insurance cover for this unprecedented surge in the construction of vast assets. To help us analyse this opportunity from all angles, we've convened four experts, each offering a unique perspective— from an investor owning and operating the centres, to the underwriters covering property, environmental, and renewable energy risks. So I'm delighted to be joined by Atul Roy, an investor in digital infrastructure at Cordiant Capital who is representing the customer in our discussions; Lindsay Shipper, Head of North American Commercial Property at Beazley; Ben Sheppard, a renewable energy underwriting expert; and Nicholas Pearson who is a specialist in environmental liability risk underwriting.

That speech wasn't just good — it was strategic. Tara breaks down why Donald Trump's tightly focused, 18-minute address may be one of the most important speeches heading into the midterms. From crushing prescription drug prices to exposing massive health care fraud tied to Obamacare, insurance companies, and illegal immigration, Trump finally said out loud what most Americans never hear — because if you don't listen to talk radio, you have no idea what was done to this country. This episode explains the corruption, the incentives, and why repeating this message every single day could change everything.

This is a recording from AMZ Innovate 2025 in New York City. Brett Curry breaks down why YouTube is a fundamentally different growth channel than Meta, TikTok, or Amazon ads, and why most brands struggle when they treat it like “just another social platform.” He explains the four key ways people use YouTube (searching, streaming, scrolling, shopping), shares a proven creative formula to keep viewers from skipping, and walks through an Arctic case study showing measurable lift in branded search and Walmart sales. Finally, he covers why YouTube measurement often understates true performance and what to track instead (search lift, sales lift, geo holdouts, Amazon + DTC combined impact).—Sponsored by OMG Commerce - go to (https://www.omgcommerce.com/contact) and request your FREE strategy session today!—Chapters: (00:12) Intro(01:11) YouTube is the missing piece for ecommerce growth(04:07) YouTube on CTV + why creative can't be a direct Meta/TikTok copy(06:50) Examples of YouTube-powered brand growth (Dr. Squash, Native, BOOM)(10:20) Creative strategy: length, formats, and what actually converts(11:12) The 5-part YouTube creative formula (hook → CTA)(14:34) Creative examples breakdown (RTIC durability, Native UGC montage, OPO Pop)(15:51) Sponsor Offer: Loop Subscriptions (21:18) What metrics matter for creative feedback loops (view rate, watch time, clicks, CVR)(26:01) Why YouTube under-measures + incrementality findings (House Analytics)(28:36) The “trifecta of lift”: Amazon baseline + search lift + overall sales trend(30:41) Sponsor: Fermat (AI-native commerce platform)—Connect With Brett: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/thebrettcurry/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@omgcommerce Website: https://www.omgcommerce.com/ Request a Free Strategy Session: https://www.omgcommerce.com/contact Relevant Links:Sponsor Offer | LOOP (Mention Ecommerce Evolution): https://www.loopwork.co/Sponsor Offer | Fermat (Mention Ecommerce Evolution): fermatcommerce.comPast guests on eCommerce Evolution include Ezra Firestone, Steve Chou, Drew Sanocki, Jacques Spitzer, Jeremy Horowitz, Ryan Moran, Sean Frank, Andrew Youderian, Ryan McKenzie, Joseph Wilkins, Cody Wittick, Miki Agrawal, Justin Brooke, Nish Samantray, Kurt Elster, John Parkes, Chris Mercer, Rabah Rahil, Bear Handlon, JC Hite, Frederick Vallaeys, Preston Rutherford, Anthony Mink, Bill D'Allessandro, Stephane Colleu, Jeff Oxford, Bryan Porter and more

Global spending on Artificial Intelligence (AI) is projected to reach $375 billion this year and and $500 billion by 2026, according to the UBS. That raises a fundamental question: is AI's value being driven by genuine technological progress, or by investor enthusiasm racing ahead of reality? Is the AI boom a bubble?

For years, crypto traders have lived and died by the halving clock. Boom. Bust. Rinse. Repeat.But what if that old rhythm doesn’t work anymore? In Episode 798 of The Bad Crypto Podcast, Joel and Travis make the case that Bitcoin has officially graduated from “speculative science experiment” to institutional-grade asset class — and that changes everything. We break down why this cycle looks nothing like the last ones, including: • Why banks that mocked crypto are now quietly building custody, trading, and ETF pipelines• How public companies, governments, and ETFs are soaking up Bitcoin supply• Why institutional buying is far “stickier” than retail panic selling• How regulation shifts (OCC, FDIC, Fed guidance) removed the biggest barriers between banks and Bitcoin• Why the classic 80% crash may no longer be the default outcome• What January and February could reveal about whether the cycle is truly broken• Why Gen Z asking for crypto for Christmas might be the most bullish signal of all We also dig into adoption curves, Bitcoin treasuries, ETF inflows, government holdings, and the uncomfortable reality that the market may have changed the rules while many traders are still playing the old game. If you’re waiting for the “inevitable crash” so you can say “told you so”…you might want to listen first. Because Bitcoin doesn’t look like it’s leaving.It looks like it’s settling in.
We look at the Air India Boeing 787 crash and the friction between investigators, Boom Supersonic's plan for stationary power generation, Spirit Airlines' new labor agreements, the canceled TSA labor contract, DHS purchase of Boeing 737s, ethics and the FAA Administrator, the V-22 Osprey accident rate, A-10 retirement postponement, return of PanAm, and fumes in the cabin. Aviation News Air India Boeing 787 Crash Probe Leads to Tussle Between Investigators India's Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB) and U.S. agencies, such as the NTSB and FAA, investigating the Air India crash have clashed over where and how to read out the flight recorders, access to evidence, and the overall pace and transparency of the investigation. U.S. officials reportedly feared a lack of openness, while Indian officials pushed back strongly against what they saw as outside interference and challenges to their competence. Boeing 787, courtesy Air India. Preliminary technical findings point toward the 787's fuel control switches being moved from “RUN” to “CUTOFF,” starving both engines of fuel shortly after takeoff. Some U.S. sources suspect deliberate pilot action, while Indian authorities have downplayed pilot culpability in public. Source article in the Wall Street Journal: Officials Clash in Investigation of Deadly Air India Crash Air India Admits Compliance Culture Needs Overhaul After Flying Airbus Without Permit, Document Shows An Air India investigation found that one of its Airbus planes conducted eight commercial flights without an airworthiness permit. “Systemic failures” were cited, and the airline admitted it needed to make compliance improvements. Boom Supersonic Secures Breakthrough AI Engine Deal Boom Supersonic is developing the Symphony propulsion system to power its Overture supersonic airliner. At the same time, AI data centers require enormous compute power, and they need energy to do that. Boom says that it will develop the land-based Superpower 42-megawatt natural gas turbine, based on the Symphony engine. If successful, the Superpower would generate a revenue stream and provide operating data. Crusoe Energy has 29 Superpower units on order, with delivery expected in 2027. Major aero‑derivative OEMs offering ground power generation include: General Electric, Siemens Energy, Mitsubishi Power, Rolls‑Royce, and Kawasaki Heavy Industries. AvWeek reports that Boom has closed a $300 million funding round, which the company says, together with the AI gas turbine deal, will be sufficient to complete development of the Symphony and initial Overture aircraft. Video: Introducing Superpower: The Supersonic Tech Powering AI Data Centers https://youtu.be/krweC0gvbhM?si=5F4EO-yBlbsjE196 JetBlue A320 narrowly avoids mid-air collision with USAF tanker over Caribbean On December 12, 2025, a JetBlue Airways A320-232 (Flight B61112) left Curaçao bound for JFK airport. Shortly after takeoff, the plane narrowly avoided a collision with a US Air Force refueling tanker. Spirit Airlines Reaches Another Milestone in its Restructuring as Pilots and Flight Attendants Ratify Agreements Spirit Airlines announced the ratification of labor agreements with pilots (represented by the Air Line Pilots Association) and flight attendants (represented by the Association of Flight Attendants-CWA). The two agreements are subject to court approval. 82% of the pilots voted in favor of the contract, which allows temporary reductions in pay rates and retirement contributions effective January 1, 2026. Pay rates are restored through guaranteed increases on August 1, 2028, and January 1, 2029. Company-funded retirement contributions will be fully restored by July 1, 2029. See ALPA Press Release: Spirit Airlines Pilots Ratify Restructuring Agreement. US invalidates union contract covering 47,000 TSA officers, AFGE vows to challenge The American Federation of Government Employees represents airport screening officers and plans to file a lawsuit after Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem terminated the collective bargaining agreement. DHS plans to implement a new labor framework on January 11, 2026, when the collection of union dues from TSA officers’ paychecks will cease. TSA said the new labor framework “will return the agency back into a security-focused framework that prioritizes workforce readiness, resource allocation and mission focus with an effective stewardship of taxpayer dollars.” US signs nearly $140m deal to purchase six Boeing 737s for use in deportations The Department of Homeland Security signed a contract with Arlington, Virginia-based Daedalus Aviation Corporation to purchase six Boeing 737 planes for deportation operations. DHS spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin said: “This new initiative will save $279m in taxpayer dollars by allowing ICE to operate more effectively, including by using more efficient flight patterns.” Daedalus Aviation Corporation focuses on turnkey flight operations and specialized charter services for government and high‑stakes commercial clients. They emphasize contingency, evacuation, and other critical missions. Senator says FAA administrator failed to sell multimillion-dollar airline stake as promised Sen. Maria Cantwell (D-Washington) says FAA Administrator Bryan Bedford promised to sell his multimillion-dollar stake in Republic Airways under his ethics agreement, but he has failed to do so. Bedford agreed to sell all his shares within 90 days of his confirmation, but 150 days have now passed. In a letter to Bedford, Sen. Cantwell writes, “It appears you continue to retain significant equity in this conflicting asset months past the deadline set to fully divest from Republic, which constitutes a clear violation of your ethics agreement. This is unacceptable and demands a full accounting.” New V-22 Mishap Reviews Find Material Issues with Osprey, Poor Communication Between Services Two new reports point to faulty parts, poorly understood maintenance procedures, and a lack of communication across the services. The result was a lack of safety and reliability across the Navy, Air Force, and Marine Corps. One report was from the Naval Air Systems Command, and the other was from the Government Accountability Office. Both had been in the works for two years. Twenty people were killed in V-22 Osprey accidents from 2022 to 2024. Congress Postpones A-10 Retirement The A-10 Thunderbolt II (the Warthog) close support aircraft has been on the verge of retirement for years. The National Defense Appropriations Act (NDAA) directs the Air Force to keep at least 103 A-10 aircraft in its inventory until a phaseout in 2029. The NDAA limits retirement plans for other aircraft: KC-10 tankers, the F-15E Strike Eagle, and the E-3 Sentry surveillance plane. Delays in supplying replacements are cited as the reason. Pan Am plans future Airbus A320neo operations as part of Miami launch The “new Pan Am” is a startup effort to revive the Pan American World Airways brand as a U.S. Part 121 scheduled airline. Pan American Global Holdings acquired the rights to the Pan Am brand in 2023. Pan Am intends to deploy Airbus A320neo aircraft as part of its future operations in Miami. There are few details about the executive team, but Ed Wegel is described as a Pan Am co-founder. He is also the founder of AVi8 Air Capital, a niche aviation-focused investment and advisory firm with headquarters in the Miami, Florida area. The company is active in the relaunch of Pan Am, and this year (2025), they completed a comprehensive Pan Am business plan. Boeing Sued By Law Professor After Allegedly Inhaling Toxic Fumes On Cross-Country Flight A law professor who flew on a Boeing 737 aircraft operated by Delta Air Lines last year is suing Boeing, alleging that he suffered serious health issues after being exposed to toxic fumes in the cabin.

In this episode of “The Business of Blueberries,” Kasey Cronquist, president of the U.S. Highbush Council (USHBC) and the North American Blueberry Council (NABC), is joined by Luis Vegas, general manager of Proarándanos, and Miguel Bentin, founder of Valle y Pampa. Vegas leads his organization's efforts to represent and promote Peru's blueberry industry worldwide, providing critical market data, industry insights and strategic direction for growers and exporters. Bentin serves as the general manager of the joint venture between Valle y Pampa, a Peruvian blueberry production and export company, and Family Tree Farms. He has extensive experience in fruit production and global markets, and shares firsthand knowledge of the challenges and opportunities facing growers. “I think 2023 was a wake-up call for all the industry. It was really a learning experience for all of us. … One of the things we learned was how the different varieties behaved under these conditions, and there was a clear difference between certain varieties.” – Luis Vegas“ As Peru starts improving the average quality of the crop, we'll have more, as exporters, better opportunities in China, which is a very highly demanding market that establishes a big difference between premium fruit, what they consider premium fruit and regular fruit.” – Miguel Bentin Topics covered include: An introduction to Vegas and Bentin, and their work. An exploration of Proarándanos global priorities and reach. The impact weather has had on the Peruvian blueberry production over the past year.Crop ReportThe Blueberry Crop Report is an update on crop conditions and markets throughout important blueberry growing areas. You'll hear from Luis Vegas in Peru. This was recorded on December 11, 2025.
Where do I start as to first thank everyone listening to the Faqs project in 2025. Today's Pod I talk about not only the Comics that moved me for 2025, but also some of the news stories that moved the needle on the industry. Creator owned comics may have not seen as much trickle down dollar wise as their mainstream predecessors, but there were many great stories to choose from whether you frequent Image, Boom, Mad Cave, Oni Press, Dark Horse, or even Kickstarter Indies. There are many standouts that I know I may have missed a few and they are substantial. There was so much to choose from as we look forward to 2026 as you take those meaningful trips to your local comic store and not just treat the comics as a collectable but read and enjoy these stories.Thank you from the Faqs ProjectSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/the-faqs-project-hosted-by-james-grandmaster-faqs-boyce/donations
Is an Acme-Gridley the mink coat of machine tools? A well made product that still does a great job, but nobody wants another one. In 2025? No. Not yet. On today's podcast, Lloyd and I talk about our used machinery business over the last year. We saw one customer drop 20 million for five INDEXs to replace every cam screw machine in their shop. At the same time we sold machines to a multinational automotive supplier who is buying hundreds of Davenport screw machines—many older than me—I'm 45 by the way. ************* Listen on your favorite podcast app using pod.link. .

Once worth $10,000, ChatGPT now values it at maybe $250 to a dealer. The discovery sparked an uncomfortable comparison to the cam screw machines in our stock. “Of course, mink means Acmes to me because Acmes helped pay for the mink,” Lloyd reflects. “These are very functional, valuable machines that were running good parts where we bought them and we feel they have value, however… we have to doubt ourselves.” He poses the question that haunts our business: “Let’s say it is 1-5/8” RB-8 Acme. How much money could somebody potentially make on that machine over the course of one year?” He figures $25,000 to $50,000, maybe more with the right job. “We would sell that machine in that price range. Yet we find no buyers. From an economic standpoint, to me that makes no sense.” A Brutal Year The machinery dealing business has been tough this year. While many of our customers’ businesses remained steady, indecision paralyzed buying decisions—particularly around tariffs. “One of the polls I did on LinkedIn asked if indecision because of tariffs caused them to not buy equipment this year.” Fifty percent said that was one reason why they had not bought equipment. And I will never forget this year's deal from hell. ”We bought a machine in Germany, sold it to a company in the United States, and then BOOM—tariff. We went from an amazing deal to… I’m amazed we didn’t lose money.” I hate tariffs for a lot of reasons. This one was extra personal. The $20 Million Paradox The market presents striking contradictions. One of our customers recently got rid of 30 cam screw machines, selling them for “$2,000, $3,000, $4,000, $5,000 a piece,” then spent over $3 million each on INDEX CNC multi-spindles—$20 million total to replace their entire shop floor. “I was shocked,” Lloyd admits. “The question was, are they that much better than a 1” Acme?” I explain the economics: “They make an entirely different kind of part. They make a part that you could make a dollar from where you make 10 cents from an Acme part. Or they’re making $10 on that part, and on the Acme, they were making a quarter.” The new machines can handle medical parts, complex geometries—the kinds of high-margin work that justifies the investment. The Davenport Bet Meanwhile, another customer is betting the opposite way, buying hundreds of Davenports for facilities in Mexico and China. Today's Davenports have a similar design to their original one from 115 years ago. The company is buying so many they’ve ordered Davenport’s entire production capacity for new machines while simultaneously buying used ones. Good ones, bad ones, anything they can find to rebuild. “There are many uses for small parts as bushings or as inserts or pins,” Lloyd explains. “And if you’re catering to a world market… they’re saying to themselves, we want to tremendously expand our capacity because we believe there is a market there and people have abandoned this market.” The China Question Lloyd sees a broader pattern: “The Chinese appear to be able to make good product, not maybe the quality of product being made in the United States or in Europe, but close to it at a fraction of the price.” He worries about Chinese companies producing chips “90 to 95% as good” as NVIDIA’s but selling for 30% less. “They’re able to make an electric car now in China and sell it in the Chinese market for under $10,000, and they’re selling them now in Germany for as low as $16,000.” “In my mind, we’re in a war with China—an economic war.” Gratitude We end where we began—with gratitude. “I get the privilege of working with you,” Lloyd tells me. And I tell him that I have a gratitude list every day in the morning, and he's on it. Readers, listeners out there—In an industry facing profound disruption, all I can say is adapt, keep picking up the phone and stay grateful. Even if you’re selling machines that might be the mink coats of manufacturing. Question: What machines did you purchase or get rid of in 2025?
In this episode of the Data Center Frontier Show, DCF Editor in Chief Matt Vincent speaks with Uptime Institute research analyst Max Smolaks about the infrastructure forces reshaping AI data centers from power and racks to cooling, economics, and the question of whether the boom is sustainable. Smolaks unpacks a surprising on-ramp to today's AI buildout: former cryptocurrency mining operators that “discovered” underutilized pockets of power in nontraditional locations—and are now pivoting into AI campuses as GPU demand strains conventional markets. The conversation then turns to what OCP 2025 revealed about rack-scale AI: heavier, taller, more specialized racks; disaggregated “compute/power/network” rack groupings; and a white space that increasingly looks purpose-built for extreme density. From there, Vincent and Smolaks explore why liquid cooling is both inevitable and still resisted by many operators—along with the software, digital twins, CFD modeling, and new commissioning approaches emerging to manage the added complexity. On the power side, they discuss the industry's growing alignment around 800V DC distribution and what it signals about Nvidia's outsized influence on next-gen data center design. Finally, the conversation widens into load volatility and the economics of AI infrastructure: why “spiky” AI power profiles are driving changes in UPS systems and rack-level smoothing, and why long-term growth may hinge less on demand (which remains strong) than on whether AI profits broaden beyond a few major buyers—especially as GPU hardware depreciates far faster than the long-lived fiber built during past tech booms. A sharp, grounded look at the AI factory era—and the engineering and business realities behind the headlines.
Hello, hello — and welcome back to Greedy Bitch, the podcast for groomers who are done apologizing for wanting more. I'm your host, River Lee, founder of The Savvy Groomer, and if you're new here — this show is where we talk about the real stuff behind running a grooming business. The money, the mindset, the boundaries — and all the messy middle that comes with it. And listen… we're hitting that time of year again. The holidays. When every human being on Earth seems to lose their mind just a little bit. Clients are calling last minute. Everyone suddenly “forgot” that Christmas comes the same day every year. People are cranky, tired, stressed — including you. But here's the truth, my friend: This isn't just about the holidays. This is the highlight reel of who people really are under pressure. So today, we're going to talk about recognizing the patterns we've been ignoring. Today's episode is “Data Don't Lie: Fix, Freeze, or Fire ” I'm going to help you decide how to tell when someone — a client, an employee, even a coworker — has crossed the line from stressful… to unacceptable. And even better — how to stop guessing, and start collecting data so that come January, you're making clear, confident decisions instead of emotional, exhausted ones. Alright — deep breath. Grab your notebook, grab your coffee, and let's get into it. Alright, so last podcast we talked about the patterns we may be been ignoring,from clients, the staff, the people who are testing your patience. Now we're going to flip the script — because this isn't just about them. It's also about you. You can't talk about red flags without looking at your own dashboard lights. Because burnout doesn't show up with a neon sign that says, “You're done.” It creeps in quietly. It starts small — and before you know it, you're running on caffeine, resentment, and survival mode. Let's be real: groomers are masters at pushing through. We'll skip lunch, ignore back pain, and say, “It's fine, I'll rest after Christmas.” But spoiler alert — “after Christmas” never actually comes, does it? Then suddenly it's March and you're wondering why you're crying in your van between grooms. Sound familiar? So, let's treat burnout like what it really is — data. It's feedback from your body, your brain, your business. Let's talk about your stress metrics. Here are a few I want you to start tracking this month. Nothing fancy — just awareness. How many meals did you skip this week? How many times did you vent about a client or coworker instead of celebrating a win? How many nights did you go home too tired to eat or shower? How many mornings did you wake up with dread instead of drive? If those numbers are creeping up — that's not weakness. That's information. We tend to think of data as spreadsheets and numbers — but this? This is emotional bookkeeping. Your skipped lunch is a data point. Your frustration is a data point. That Sunday night anxiety that makes your chest tight? Yep — that's data too. And if you're feeling “off,” you don't need to explain it away. You need to listen to it. Your mind and body are basically the employees that never stop working — and they've been filing complaints for months. You just keep ignoring HR. If your business had an HR department, you'd already have three write-ups from your own nervous system. So here's your wake-up call — start treating your burnout like a KPI. You track revenue, you track bookings, you track shampoo inventory — why not track your energy? Because if your stress is up 40% and your patience is down 80%, it doesn't matter what your profit margin looks like. You're not actually winning. Now, I know some of you are thinking, “River, it's the holidays — of course I'm tired!” Sure. But there's tired… and then there's tapped out. Tired is normal. You rest, you recover, you're fine. Tapped out is when you wake up and think, “I physically can't do this anymore.” Tapped out is when you start fantasizing about quitting grooming entirely, moving to a cabin, and living off grid with twelve cats. (And listen, I've been there.) That's why these stress metrics matter — because they help you catch it early. Here's the pattern I want you to start noticing: When you're at or near capacity, your behavior shifts. You start snapping at small things. You start resenting the clients you used to adore. You start dreading calls and messages that didn't used to bother you. And that's not you “being negative.” That's your energy account going into overdraft. You cannot keep writing checks from a balance that's already empty. So instead of powering through December like a martyr, I want you to start collecting proof. Proof that your business model might need adjusting. Proof that certain clients or staff members are draining more than they're contributing. Proof that you're not crazy — you're just overloaded. Maybe you've outgrown your current schedule. Maybe you need a buffer day each week. Maybe your prices don't actually reflect the level of effort you're giving. Whatever it is — your burnout is trying to tell you something. Let me give you an example. Let's say you find yourself venting about the same client every week — the one who constantly picks fights or questions your prices. That's not “just venting.” That's an alarm bell. Or you notice that every Friday, your body feels wrecked, your temper's short, and your employees avoid eye contact. That's not “holiday stress.” That's a system issue — maybe scheduling, maybe culture, maybe leadership load. Whatever it is — it's not a moral failure. It's a data point. Take your feelings seriously. They're not random. They're reporting. If you're venting more than you're grooming — it's time for a change. And that change doesn't have to be dramatic. It might just mean saying no to one extra dog a day. Or finally letting go of the client who's been emotionally exhausting you since 2018. Or maybe it's delegating — hiring that assistant you keep saying you can't “afford.” Because here's the truth — you can't afford not to. You can't grow a sustainable business on burnout. You can't build wealth when your health is tanking. And you sure as hell can't lead others if you're falling apart behind the table. So here's your assignment for this week: Keep tracking your external red flags — but add yourself to the list. Ask: Am I respecting my own boundaries as much as I expect clients to? Am I honoring my own needs as much as I demand others honor my policies? Because if you don't treat yourself like a valued employee, no one else will either. You can't attract respectful clients while disrespecting your own limits. You deserve a business that doesn't burn you alive every holiday season. You deserve to come home and still have enough energy left to eat dinner, to laugh, to actually live. So start using your burnout as a compass. If something keeps draining you — don't shame it, study it. Because that's where your next boundary belongs. Alright — you've been collecting data. You've tracked the red flags. You've been observing the patterns — not just in other people, but in yourself. Now what? It's time to make decisions. And not emotional, spur-of-the-moment, “I swear if she texts me one more time…” decisions. No — I'm talking about strategic, intentional decisions that protect your peace and your profit. And to do that, I want you to use my favorite end-of-year framework: Fix, Freeze, or Fire. This is the moment where you stop surviving the season and start designing the next one. FIX Let's start with the most hopeful one: Fix. This is for the relationships — clients, team members, even vendors — that are worth saving. Not every problem means someone's toxic. Sometimes it just means someone needs direction. If a client's late but apologetic, or a bather keeps forgetting to restock but genuinely wants to improve — that's fixable. You fix those situations with conversation, not confrontation. That means pulling them aside and saying something like, “Hey, I noticed you've been late a few times. I know it's a busy season, but I need you to plan to arrive ten minutes early so we stay on track.” It's calm, it's clear, and it's actionable. Or for clients, “I totally understand you're running behind, but I have to stay on schedule for everyone else. In January, I'll be enforcing my late policy again so I can protect everyone's time.” Boom. You've reestablished the boundary without turning it into a battle. Fixing is about leadership. It's choosing to teach, not tolerate. To redirect, not resent. Sometimes the people in your business don't even realize what they're doing until you show them. But — and this is key — once you've taught, once you've communicated clearly, once you've documented it… If it still keeps happening? You move to phase two. FREEZE Now, this one's my secret weapon. Freeze means pause, limit, or put a boundary in writing. Think of it like business probation — not punishment, but structure. You're saying, “Hey, something's not working here, and before I make a final decision, I need to see some change.” Maybe that means reducing how often you see that client. If they always flake on Saturdays, move them to a weekday. If they keep arguing about price, switch them to prepay only. Or for staff — maybe you take that bather off certain dogs until they're retrained. Maybe you limit how many big dogs your team handles per day to reduce burnout. It's not punitive — it's preventative. You're freezing the pattern before it becomes permanent. And listen, sometimes “freezing” just means putting your own damn self in timeout. You ever get so frustrated with someone that you think, “If I respond right now, I'm gonna say something I can't unsay”? Yeah. That's a self-freeze moment. Walk away. Breathe. Write it down. Then come back when you can lead from logic, not adrenaline. Freezing gives you time to see if someone's coachable — or just comfortable. Because if you freeze the relationship and they use that time to grow, awesome! You've salvaged something worth keeping. But if you freeze it and they just keep proving your point? Then you're ready for the last phase. FIRE You knew this one was coming. Sometimes you've given the grace, the guidance, the boundaries — and they still don't respect you. That's when it's time to bless and release. Now, I know that sounds easy, but I also know how hard it really is. Because firing — whether it's a client, an employee, or a friend in the grooming community — triggers all the people-pleaser guilt we've been trained to carry. You start thinking, “What if they badmouth me?” “What if I lose income?” “What if I'm overreacting?” But let me tell you something — You're not losing money when you fire a toxic client. You're reclaiming the emotional bandwidth that's been costing you far more than they ever paid you. You can't attract soulmate clients or healthy team members when your roster is full of energy vampires. And listen — “fire” doesn't always mean dramatic or nasty. It doesn't need to be a soap opera moment. It can sound like: “Hey, I think we've outgrown each other. I wish you the best.” Professional. Calm. Final. You don't have to light bridges on fire — but you also don't need to keep rebuilding ones that collapse every time someone walks across them. Sometimes the kindest thing you can do — for both of you — is let them go. Now, let's talk about the ripple effect of that decision. Because when you fire someone — client, staff, or even a process that's no longer serving you — you create space. Space for peace. Space for profit. Space for better people to find you. The universe doesn't reward tolerance; it rewards alignment. And when you release the wrong people, you make room for the right ones to show up. January isn't about resolutions — it's about realignment. The data you collect this month tells you who stays, who goes, and what needs to change so next year actually feels different. Because here's the truth — you can't fix what you refuse to face. And you can't scale what's secretly suffocating you. So as you go through your notes — all those little observations you've been writing down all December — ask yourself: Who's adding to my peace? Who's neutral? And who's constantly taking more than they give? That's your Fix, Freeze, Fire map right there. You know how we say, “Not every dog is a good fit for every groomer”? Well, not every human is a good fit for your business, either. And that's okay. That's not failure — that's discernment. This is the power of this process. It's not emotional — it's intentional. It's about reclaiming your authority as the leader of your business. You've spent too many years apologizing for wanting respect, for needing boundaries, for saying, “This isn't working.” But the truth is, your peace is profitable. And the sooner you start honoring it, the faster everything else falls into place. So take that notebook, take your red-yellow-green lists, and start deciding who and what gets to come with you into next year. Because you've earned the right to be selective. Alright, my friend — take a deep breath. This season will test you, no doubt. But remember: the chaos isn't here to destroy you. It's here to reveal you. You've worked too hard to build a business that makes you miserable. You deserve peace. You deserve profit. You deserve respect. Start collecting your data now, because come January, you're going to make moves — not excuses. And when you do? You'll be stepping into the next season of your business as the boss you were always meant to be. If this hit home, share it with a fellow groomer who needs permission to say “no” without guilt. And don't forget to grab your Free Holiday Boundaries Script at SavvyGroomer.com/HolidayBoundaries. Until next time, stay savvy, stay greedy — and never apologize for wanting more.
