Podcasts about borrowing

Our chapter instructs the Israelites to borrow objects of silver and gold from their neighbours. These were items that they were not intending to return. Why does God issue this strange command? Is it honest?

We explore how a 1950s Harvard rat study reveals the power of hope, then turn it into three practical strategies to build belief: borrow confidence, recall rebounds, and practice self-cheering. Stories from training and obstacle races bring the ideas down to earth with clear, usable steps.• Why hope extends endurance and effort• Borrowing belief from trusted people when confidence is low• Turning past “sinks” into a rebound archive• Using physical examples to train mental courage• Practicing your own cheer with specific, repeatable reps• Framing wins by completion and growth, not placement• Setting a small challenge to build belief todayTake something away from every single one of our conversations and put it into practicehttps://aarondegler.com/

Evan Barnett is the President of Pyek Group. Starting in the industry at 16 cleaning restrooms at Water World USA, he was quickly thrust into leadership, moved from park services to water safety, and grew under strong mentors who sharpened his view of people-first operations. Today, Evan leads Pyek Group across four parks in three markets under two brands, focusing on culture, clarity of mission, and what he calls the “un-water park” mindset: hyper-clean facilities, great food, and genuine hospitality. In this interview, Evan talks about cold, hard leadership, being unoffendable, and doing the basics really well. Cold, hard leadership “It's tough. It's cold, hard leadership is really what it is. And it's listening and understanding and just realizing, hey, give the other guy the benefit of the doubt.” Evan frames leadership as equal parts standards and empathy. Early in his career, he learned that perception is reality: a supervisor saw “slowness” while Evan was meticulously scrubbing grout with a toothbrush. That moment shaped how he equips teams by giving clear direction, the right tools, and assuming positive intent before judging outcomes. At Pyek Group, he translates this into over-communicating vision across varied brands and communities, aligning departments around a single mission so daily frictions become sparks that sharpen rather than burn. He also guards leaders' attention from getting hijacked by edge cases. Rather than orbit the “loud 20%,” he pours recognition and coaching into the 80% who show up wanting to do great work, using high-fives, momentum building, and consistent standards. For Evan, culture is “caught, not taught,” spread through a thousand conversations and modeled behavior that make accountability feel fair and human. Being unoffendable “The one core value I really want to hone in on that we have is called unoffendable… be unoffendable, man.” Unoffendable is a Pyek Group core value, not an aspiration. Evan wants feedback to flow fast and candidly without venom and without weaponizing “brutal honesty.” In practice, that means seeking to understand before being understood, extending grace because everyone, including leaders, will need it back tomorrow. He links unoffendable behavior to hospitality itself: when a guest complains about cold food or long lines, defensive walls only distract from fixing the day. Empathy and grace let teams remediate quickly and leave people feeling cared for. Internally, the same posture fuels agility. Teams “fire themselves” metaphorically, stepping out to reset their mindset and reenter discussions ready to solve problems together. Evan emphasizes that core values must be binary and lived. You are kind, or you are not. You are unoffendable, or you are not. Keeping feedback direct but non-weaponized preserves trust, speeds pivots, and keeps focus on the guest experience over ego. Doing the basics really well “Just do the basics really well.” Borrowing a line he admires from Troy Aikman, Evan centers Pyek Group on mastery of fundamentals: smiling welcomes, clean spaces, good food, frictionless transactions, and consistent delivery day after day. He calls it “power in the mundane,” resetting every morning so the thousandth “Where are the lockers?” gets the same warm response as the first. That dependable baseline becomes a brand personality guests can feel, and it cannot be copied by simply duplicating slides or lazy rivers. Basics evolve, though. Orientation remains essential, but how teams learn must fit how they consume information today, using short, bite-sized training and tools they can use immediately on Day One. Evan is unafraid to reverse course when basics are misread. The lesson, letting fans tell you what matters and then amplifying it, keeps “basic” tightly aligned with real expectations.

PREVIEW Anne Stevenson-Yang focuses on the decline of China's economic miracle, which was fueled by borrowing and falsehoods and is potentially headed toward japanification or worse. The idea that China was continuously rising and overtaking the United States is now largely disregarded. Although some asset investors hold hope that Asia, specifically China, will provide yield, few believe the downturn is temporary. Guest: Anne Stevenson-Yang. 1918 PEKING

"But God" In part three of this series, Pastor Josiah explores the transformative truth that what appears impossible in our lives becomes possible with God. Through the story of the widow and Elisha in 2 Kings 4, we discover how desperate situations can become miraculous testimonies when we step out in faith on God's word. The message reminds us that God's instructions often don't align with human logic, but when we act on His word, we move from impossibility into His possibilities.Join us for Thrive Church In person (more info here) or Online Sundays 2:30PM (MT) on Youtube Want to partner with Thrive Church:https://www.thrivecalgary.ca/give-online

Most people think policy loans mean "borrowing your own money." That's completely wrong, and it's costing them big. In this episode, Mary Jo breaks down exactly how policy loans work inside Infinite Banking and why understanding the difference can change how you build wealth.

In today's episode, Maryanne shares three real-life stories from the last few weeks where clients were struggling with low borrowing capacity — and how strategic planning, smart restructuring, and thinking outside the box helped them move from “I don't think I can buy yet” to “We're officially homeowners!” If you've been told your borrowing capacity isn't enough, this episode will help you see that you still have options — and that the dream might be closer than you think. ⭐ What You'll Learn in This Episode: 1. How clearing debt can completely change borrowing capacity Maryanne walks through a recent scenario where a client had a decent deposit but high credit card and personal loan balances holding them back.You'll hear:Why lenders heavily penalise debt in servicing calculationsHow using a portion of your deposit to clear debt can increase your borrowing capacityThe surprising before-and-after difference for this client2. How property share/co-buying helped two siblings get into the market sooner Buying alone wasn't possible — but buying together was.In this story, Maryanne shares:How combining borrowing power opened up more optionsWhy co-buying can be a smart stepping stone to your long-term goalsHow the pair structured the loan and made the purchase work for both incomes and lifestyles3. How investing instead of buying to live in unlocked a realistic entry point Some clients can't afford the suburb they want right now, but that doesn't mean they can't start building wealth.In this scenario, you'll learn:How “rent where you want, buy where you can afford” changed everythingHow purchasing a more affordable investment property created a strategic entry into the marketThe longer-term plan we set up so they can upgrade into a home they love later

Before Smylie Kaufman and Charlie Hulme get to golf's biggest news of the past week - LIV Golf moving from 54 to 72 holes - we begin by detailing Smylie's brutal onset of “dad back” that left him crawling around the house. Charlie then recounts his cathartic return to golf at Hidden Creek - from a rain-soaked finish to a well-deserved steam shower. From there, the guys dig into LIV's move to 72-hole events: does it help majors performance, OWGR hopes, or brand identity? They hit fan reactions, Rory's take, player pathways, and why 72 holes might help some stars while blurring what made LIV different. In the back half of the episode, they tackle the DP World Tour dilemma: Rahm and Hatton's appeals, Ryder Cup eligibility, the PGA Tour partnership, TV product realities, and whether “home games,” nations, or mixed-gender teams could make team golf click. Chapters: 00:00 On the road; off-season check-in 00:28 “Dad-back” hits: stairs, stroller, and full-body spasms 04:59 Crawling the house, bathroom saga, and the recovery plan 07:24 Dry needling, PT, and week-to-week swing timeline 07:50 Hidden Creek trip: first rounds back after surgery 09:51 Birdies in a downpour, finishing 18, and the steam-shower reward 12:50 News segue: DP World Tour wrap, Ben Griffin's win, LIV headlines 13:31 Main topic: LIV moves from 54 to 72—first reactions 14:16 OWGR reality vs format; the closed-shop and pathways problem 15:38 Preparing for majors versus blurring LIV's brand identity 17:02 Rory's comments and field-strength implications 18:05 What would actually move the needle: tee times, relegation, field size 18:49 Why 54 could create different winners vs 72's “truer” leaderboard 19:29 Shotgun starts, sleeping on leads, and pressure differences 21:22 Everyone backtracks sometimes: gear, coaches, and sports takes 25:06 “54” spin vs holes played; player-lens view on 72 vs 54 26:21 The game-within-the-game over 72 holes; form building before majors 27:16 Major-exemption math and why results at the majors are the judge 33:13 Expectation-setting for LIV at the Masters and beyond 34:19 Shift to DP World Tour: Rahm/Hatton appeals, fines, and Ryder Cup stakes 35:36 DPWT's position in the ecosystem: partner with PGA Tour or pivot toward LIV? 40:03 Funding realities, TV product challenges, and sustainability questions 41:12 What if DPWT had been the Saudi-backed “strong international tour”? 42:42 US TV windows vs international schedules; business trade-offs 45:20 Team-golf ideas: legends + current pros + LPGA, or nations-based squads 46:47 Nations/home-game model and why fans might care more 47:35 Make it a fun product, not an OWGR product; formats beyond 72-hole stroke play 50:05 Borrowing from what works in modern golf content without breaking broadcast logic 51:26 Tape delay vs betting/live; what matters for engagement and sponsors 53:14 Bottom line: does the 72-hole shift simply aim at better major results? 53:41 Has LIV created a star?

Nathan Caldwell is the Bestselling Author, Thought Leader, and Speaker of Empowering Kindness. A lifelong performer-turned-leadership coach, Nathan's early career on stage taught him how guest-facing energy is created (and depleted) every shift. He later guided culture and leadership through multiple corporate acquisitions, evolving his research and writing into the book Empowering Kindness and the practice behind it. Empowering Kindness supports organizations with practical, science-backed frameworks that lift performance by building trust, clarity, and courage. In this interview, Nathan talks about Empowering Kindness, developing leaders, and beating the calendar. Empowering Kindness “Kindness takes strength, bravery, and wisdom to execute upon.” Nathan pushes kindness far beyond “being nice.” Drawing on research and lived experience, he frames kindness as a disciplined leadership choice: seeing others' needs (empathy), stepping into the gap despite discomfort (bravery), and applying the right response at the right time (wisdom). He cites studies showing that environments rich in kindness elevate wellbeing and performance, arguing that people are literally built to respond to good. Leaders operationalize this by defining what kindness looks like in specific roles, training for it, and equipping teams to deliver it consistently—not hoping people will “just be kind.” Instead of the tired “compliment sandwich,” Nathan recommends an “Oreo” culture: clearly state what “good” and “excellent” look like, and call them out often. Doing so deposits trust so that hard feedback is welcomed rather than resisted. When leaders are known for recognizing excellence, coaching moments land as invitations to rejoin that standard, not as gotchas. The outcome is a reinforcing loop of clarity → recognition → trust → growth. Developing Leaders “They must be great at filling people up with energy.” Borrowing from his performer background, Nathan describes the “energy lifecycle” of guest-facing roles: guests draw energy all day; if leaders only pull, teams burn out. Great leaders replenish through coaching, recognition, and practical support. He also normalizes the loneliness of leadership and urges leaders to build peer networks, learn continuously (books, webinars, podcasts), and identify personal recharge rituals. The goal isn't endless cheerleading; it's deliberate energy management so people can show up strong for guests and each other. Nathan's prescription is both organizational and personal. Organizations should create forums and rhythms where leaders learn together and hold one another accountable. Individually, leaders must notice depletion, own recovery, and return to the floor refueled. That self-awareness is a kindness to the team: a recharged leader is capable of the courageous conversations and steady presence that growth requires. Beating the Calendar “You have to beat the calendar. You have to win against the calendar. Intentionality is the only way to do it.” Seasonality and turnover can't be excuses. Nathan warns against hoping people “pick up” experience during the busy months; that's how issues get swept under the rug until they become trip hazards. Instead, map the precise competencies leaders need (e.g., handling difficult conversations), then schedule training, role-plays, and practice reps before peak season. Treat these as must-run plays, not nice-to-haves. When intentionality leads, teams meet higher guest expectations without burning out. His approach centers on earlier, braver, better-prepared conversations. Define likely scenarios, script first lines, practice aloud, and debrief. Pair this with the “Oreo” culture so accountability sits inside an environment saturated with examples of “what right looks like.” The payoff: fewer surprises, faster course-corrections, and a leadership bench that returns each season stronger than it left.

Medicine teaches physicians to heal others, but without financial literacy, even the best doctors can find themselves adrift in a sea of debt. Financial literacy acts as that compass, guiding physicians toward stability and control. Understanding how to budget, invest, and repay debt is not merely about numbers, it is about creating freedom and security in a life that demands so much. Every smart financial decision made early in a career grows like a small seed into lasting wealth, giving physicians options and peace of mind they cannot afford to ignore. Moreover, financial literacy empowers physicians to plan beyond their clinical work. It opens the door to pursuing passions, starting families, or investing in new ventures without the constant fear of financial collapse.  In a profession defined by service and sacrifice, understanding money ensures that physicians can serve others without sacrificing their own well-being. Knowledge about loans, investments, and insurance transforms anxiety into action, turning what seems like an insurmountable burden into a manageable challenge. In this episode, we're revisiting some of the most impactful financial conversations from the past year, episodes that every physician, especially those early in their careers, should hear. From securing disability insurance and managing debt to building smart habits and multiple income streams these highlights are packed with lessons on how to protect your future while pursuing your passion for medicine. Featuring insights from Dr. Zwade Marshall, Raina Windham, and more, this episode is a must-listen for doctors ready to take control of their financial future.

In this series, we explore one of H2O's core values—Community—through the lens of the book of Ephesians. This letter paints a rich picture of who the people of God are and what it means to live as one body in Christ. Borrowing insights from Henri Nouwen's Life of the Beloved, we'll reflect on what it means to be Chosen, Blessed, Broken, and Given—not just as individuals, but as a unified people shaped by grace. From God's decision to form a community of blessing, to the call to love, serve, and stand together against the powers of this world, Ephesians tells the story of a people brought together in Christ for the sake of the world. Join us as we rediscover the beauty, challenge, and purpose of being the people of God—together.

According to the Transamerica Center for Retirement, more than one-third of workers have taken a loan, early withdrawal, or hardship withdrawal from their 401(k). It might feel like "borrowing from yourself," but as Peter with Richon Planning and Erin Kennedy explain, it can come with long-term consequences: missed market growth, double taxation, and a smaller nest egg when you need it most. In our latest conversation, we're breaking down the real cost of a 401(k) loan, including:

From God's decision to form a community of blessing, to the call to love, serve, and stand together against the powers of this world, Ephesians tells the story of a people brought together in Christ for the sake of the world. Join us as we rediscover the beauty, challenge, and purpose of being the people of God—together.

Molly and Clarissa get real about the spoken and unspoken "rules" we inherit—from family, culture, religion, peers, and recovery spaces—and how those rules can quietly run our lives. They explore when structure is protective (especially early recovery) and when rigidity shrinks our world. The invitation: notice the rule, name whose voice it is, examine its intention, and rewrite it as a flexible, values-aligned boundary (a loving guardrail) that serves your recovery today. What we cover Invisible operating systems: How covert rules ("Don't cry in public," "Finish your plate," "Don't upset Dad," "Work before rest") get encoded as truth and shape choices, identity, and self-worth. Where rules come from: Family modeling, culture/diet/purity narratives, religion & tradition, media comparison loops, and past painful moments that birthed survival strategies. When rules help vs. harm: The cast-to-brace metaphor—early structure can be lifesaving; never taking the brace off becomes its own injury. Food-recovery example: "The kitchen is closed after dinner." Helpful as temporary scaffolding; harmful if it overrides true hunger, fuels all-or-nothing thinking, or becomes punishment. Language that frees: Swap "I can't" for "I choose not to (right now)." Replace rules with loving guardrails anchored in values, not fear. Meeting the Rebel: How the inner rebel shows up when we feel controlled, and how flexibility + permission reduces backlash and binge risk. Compassion over condemnation: Seeing the origin story of a rule reveals it was protective, not defective—which softens shame and opens space to change. Support matters: Borrowing a "prosthetic prefrontal cortex" from trusted people (group, therapist, friend) to reality-check and practice flexibility safely. Try this: a simple Rule Audit Spot it: What's one rule you notice yourself following today? Name the voice: Whose rule is it (family, program, culture, scared younger you)? Intention check: What safety or benefit was it trying to create? Does that need still exist? Cost check: How does it limit you now (shame, rigidity, disconnection from body needs)? Rewrite it: Old: "I can't eat after dinner." New: "I stop after dinner unless I'm truly hungry—then I have a planned, recovery-friendly snack without shame." Make it safer: Pre-plan options, text a support person, add a brief grounding before eating, pre-portion, and debrief after. Nuggets & reframes "Rules kept me safe then; values-based guardrails grow me now." "Different doesn't equal dangerous. It's okay if new feels wobbly." "Recovery should make life bigger, not smaller." "Permission reduces rebellion." "Thank you, old rule, for what you protected. I'm choosing something kinder now." Reflection questions for listeners Which rule in your life feels most rigid right now? What would a kinder, values-aligned version look like? If you replaced one "I can't" with "I choose not to—for now," what changes in your body and nervous system? Who are your go-to people to borrow perspective from when your threat system is loud?

Send us a textA single line in Genesis 6 says the thoughts of the human heart were only evil continually—and that God was grieved. From that stark diagnosis, we open a candid journey through divine sorrow, human responsibility, and the fierce mercy that waits before judgment falls. We look at why Scripture sometimes says God “repents,” how that language reflects our change rather than His, and why that matters for anyone trying to live clean in a culture that normalizes compromise.We walk through Noah's world where patience stretched for years while an ark rose as a sermon in wood. That delay was not permissiveness; it was invitation. Drawing on Peter's letters, we connect past and future: a flood that once cleansed, and a coming fire that will unveil what endures. The thread stays practical. Evil deeds begin as tolerated thoughts, so we talk about passing sentence quickly on what creeps into the imagination. Borrowing from the operating room, we treat sin like a tumor—addressed early, completely, and without negotiation.To make that daily, we lean on two prayers that train the heart. Psalm 19 asks God to keep us from presumptuous sins and make our words and meditations acceptable. Psalm 139 invites God to search and expose hurtful ways. Used with honesty, those prayers become a rhythm of confession and repentance that clears the fog and restores joy. The goal isn't grim perfectionism; it's freedom under a holy God whose character does not shift, even as our choices shift our experience of Him. Along the way, we challenge each other with simple, probing questions: Are we grieving the heart of God, or preaching righteousness like Noah? Are we waiting for a better moment, or taking the one we have?If this conversation helps you think and live with greater clarity, subscribe, share it with a friend, and leave a review.

This week on the Squiggly Careers podcast, Helen and Sarah borrow brilliance from an unexpected source — the psychology of seats. Inspired by a conversation about how we choose where to sit, Helen talks about how your seating choices can shape the way you feel, behave, and influence others at work. From safe seats that help us feel in control to power positions in meetings and even virtual seating on video calls, this episode reveals how something as simple as your seat can affect confidence, inclusion, and collaboration. You'll leave with small, practical shifts to help you show up differently — and boost your impact and influence at work.Episode 506

What happens when two traditional "alpha males"—a former rugby league champion and an ex-infantryman—sit down for a raw, unfiltered conversation about modern masculinity? Prepare to be challenged. In this powerful episode from the archives, host Andy Lopata brings together Luke Ambler, founder of the transformative men's support network Andy's Man Club, and Dion Jensen, a New Zealand special forces veteran and mental health advocate. Born from environments where showing weakness was a liability, both men now champion vulnerability as the ultimate strength. This is not a comfortable, politically correct chat. It's a no-holds-barred exploration of the "toxic masculinity" debate, the role of men in a post-#MeToo world, and the crucial impact of leadership in shaping culture. From the changing rooms of professional sports to the front lines of conflict, Luke and Dion dissect why men struggle to open up and how leaders can create the psychological safety needed for genuine connection and high performance. This is the conversation every leader needs to hear about the unspoken dynamics in their teams. Key Takeaways Is the ultimate display of a leader's strength actually their willingness to be vulnerable first? What if "toxic masculinity" isn't a personality trait, but a product of the environments we fail to control? Why might the most effective champions for mental health be the very "alpha males" society often misunderstands? How can you create a culture of absolute safety where your team feels empowered to take off their "masks" and connect? Actionable Insights Lead with Vulnerability: In your next team meeting, be the first to share a professional challenge you're facing or a recent mistake you learned from. By modeling vulnerability, you grant permission for others to be open and build a foundation of trust. Define Your Environment's Rules: As a leader, you are the chief of your tribe. Explicitly define and communicate the non-negotiable cultural rules for your team (e.g., "We address conflict directly," "We celebrate each other's wins"). An undefined environment breeds toxicity. Engineer Hope into Your Check-ins: Borrowing from Andy's Man Club, don't just ask your team what's wrong. Make it a mandatory part of every one-on-one or team meeting to ask, “Tell me one positive from your week.” This actively builds a culture of hope and resilience.

In this episode of The Tech Trek, Amir sits down with Michi Kono, CTO of Garner Health, to unpack what it really takes to scale engineering leadership inside a fast growing startup. Michi shares how he balances structure and speed, why formalizing processes too early can slow innovation, and how “the Garner way” blends lessons from big tech with first principles thinking. This is a conversation about leadership maturity, cultural design, and building systems that evolve with your company's growth.Key Takeaways• Leadership scale comes from knowing when to formalize processes, not just how.• “Six months is never”: waiting on fixes usually means they will never happen.• Feedback is a gift, and it is on leaders to create the safety for it to flow upward.• Borrowing from big tech only works when you adapt the principles, not the playbook.• Engineering leaders should measure success by business outcomes, not just delivery speed.Timestamped Highlights01:46 The first signals Michi looked for when stepping into the CTO role03:49 Turning ad hoc collaboration into structured dependency management06:36 Why delaying operational fixes is a silent killer for scaling teams08:38 Building standards only when they solve real, visible problems12:13 The art of forecasting leadership hiring and team design14:54 Lessons borrowed from Meta, Stripe, and Capital One, and when not to use them17:31 Defining “the Garner way” through first principles20:59 Judging engineering performance through business impact25:00 Creating true psychological safety for feedback across all levelsA Line That Stuck“If we can't execute on the roadmap that lets us actually build a successful business, then I failed as a leader. There are no excuses.”Pro TipsWhen you inherit a growing engineering organization, start by mapping dependencies, not hierarchies.

Episode 3319: Julien Saunders challenges the long-held belief that homeownership is the ultimate symbol of financial success, revealing the hidden costs, inefficiencies, and limitations it often creates. By examining oversized houses, expensive mortgages, underutilized space, and geographic restrictions, he encourages a more intentional approach, buy smaller, avoid unnecessary debt, and prioritize flexibility over blind adherence to the “American Dream.” Read along with the original article(s) here: https://richandregular.com/the-fallacy-of-homeownership/ Quotes to ponder: "If homeownership was such a sure shot to building wealth, wouldn't we know more wealthy people?"

In this AMA episode of the Rational Reminder Podcast, Ben Felix and Dan Bortolotti return to answer listener questions across a wide range of topics—from covered call ETFs and dividend tax credits to currency hedging, bond mechanics, leverage, and career reflections. They open with a striking quote from Harvard economist John Campbell on how markets cater to perceived benefits rather than real ones—a perfect setup for their recent discussions on the rise of covered call ETFs.   Key Points From This Episode: (0:59) John Campbell's quote on capitalism's tendency to meet perceived rather than rational needs—and how that perfectly describes the financial industry. (3:44) Covered calls as the perfect example: products that respond to investor demand for yield, not what's actually in their best interest. (4:49) Dan compares income-chasing in covered call ETFs to Apple's marketing genius—except in finance, the benefits flow mostly to issuers, not investors. (5:48) Why dividend bias was relatively harmless, but the covered call craze is not—and how new ETFs “multiply like rabbits.” (7:46) Ben's analysis: in every example studied, covered call investors ended up with less wealth than those holding the underlying equities. (8:13) The hidden trade-off: holding covered call ETFs is like keeping 25–30% of your portfolio in cash for a decade. (9:33) Lighter interlude: Dan teases Ben about his lentil (and later cabbage) lunches. (9:59) First AMA question: Are domestic dividend tax credits already priced into stock valuations? (Short answer: partially, depending on investor composition.) (12:13) Why even if tax benefits are “priced in,” Canadians with favorable tax rates still come out ahead. (15:58) Hedging currencies in commodity economies like Canada and Australia—when it helps, when it hurts, and why there's no perfect answer. (18:48) Dan explains why unhedged portfolios can actually be less volatile for Canadians and why most hedging is imprecise and costly in practice. (20:03) Behavioral perspective: splitting the difference between hedged and unhedged can be the “strategy of least regret.” (21:06) Bonds demystified—why falling prices during rising rates affect funds and individual bonds equally. (22:22) Understanding duration: bond ETFs are designed to stay at a target maturity, while individual bonds age toward zero duration. (26:03) How rising yields actually improve financial plans by boosting future expected returns. (29:08) Choosing the right bond fund duration based on your time horizon and liabilities. (33:39) Are recent bond losses an anomaly? Ben and Dan explain how decades of falling rates created unrealistic expectations. (36:21) The role of unexpected rate changes in bond volatility—and why central banks don't control long-term yields. (38:01) Market-cap weighting: why it remains the most defensible way to allocate across countries and sectors. (41:48) What's changed their thinking after six years of Rational Reminder—from Scott Cederberg's asset allocation data to the behavioral power of homeownership. (45:13) The Horizons/Global X ETF debate: how swap-based, corporate-class structures create tax efficiency—and why that efficiency could vanish. (50:42) Why PWL avoids these products: potential hidden tax liabilities and lack of transparency for clients. (54:31) Borrowing to invest: Ben outlines why leverage works in theory—but Dan explains why most investors shouldn't touch it. (57:25) New “modest leverage” ETFs (125% exposure) as a more behavioral-friendly version of borrowing to invest. (1:00:36) Fulfillment and frustration in finance: helping people achieve peace of mind vs. seeing deception still rampant in the industry. (1:03:09) Five years of Vanguard's all-in-one ETFs (like VEQT): how they've delivered exactly what they promised and reshaped DIY investing in Canada. (1:07:47) Why these “one-ticket” portfolios remain the biggest innovation in Canadian investing—and why global diversification matters more than ever. (1:08:50) Revisiting bonds in retirement: what to expect when they don't offset stock volatility, and how to rethink risk management beyond yield-chasing.   Links From Today's Episode: Meet with PWL Capital: https://calendly.com/d/3vm-t2j-h3p Rational Reminder on iTunes — https://itunes.apple.com/ca/podcast/the-rational-reminder-podcast/id1426530582.

Cole Howe - Borrowing Your Faith by West Coast Baptist College

This week, Vee and Elle unpack everything couples should talk about before stepping into a shared play space—from emotional boundaries to desires, jealousy, and how to reconnect afterward, using a conversation framework they learned on an ISTA retreat.  From collars and rituals to new relationship energy (NRE), aka limerence, and the messy middle between fantasy and reality—Vee goes deep on her experience. Whether you're new to the lifestyle, playing with a new partner, or redefining your relationship agreements, this episode is packed with real talk, practical tools, and deeply personal moments.RDBSM (Relationship, Desires, Boundaries, Sexual Health, Meaning). (00:25)R: Relationship: Vee navigates a new Monogamish relationship with Mister A. Dom/sub dynamics and wearing collars to denote ownership and ritual. (6:13)Conscious Relating: redefining your relationships as they fit into your life. (7:26)D: Desires: playing together with another couple or a female unicorn. (13:31)B: Boundaries: the idea of men's cum as ownership leading to wanting to be there for your partner's orgasm. (13:57)NRE (New Relationship Energy) vs Love: WTF is limerence? And how do you know when it's evolved from new relationship energy to actual true romantic love? Instability vs stability. (17:14)Boundaries contd: Not playing separately, keeping play and connection in the container of the scene or the play party, and then “keep it in the group text”. Locking in and taking the performative aspect out of exhibitionism. (20:37)M: Meaning: creating a container to explore safely within the time boundaries of the party. (26:30)Traffic Light System: What to do in the moment if you're feeling activated or jealous? Borrowing from BDSM scenes to have a safe word or traffic light system in more traditional scenes. (29:15)A: Aftercare: going home together, reconnecting, and talking over breakfast? (33:13)Post-Party: Back to School theme and showing ownership by wearing a collar. (34:29)Wax Play experience: performing for your man when you know he's watching. (37:38)Connecting with your partner first: Vee cums for the first time at a play party! (42:44)Mixed feelings: Watching your partner fuck someone else. What a guy should say when the female is unsure about playing. (45:42)Popping their cherry: Vee and Mister A play with another couple for the first time. (51:08)Aftercare and debriefing the next day.

Is “just be yourself at work” really the best advice? In this 500th episode of the Squiggly Careers podcast, Helen and Sarah explore the tricky topic of authenticity — and why being 100% yourself at work might not always help you succeed.Borrowing brilliance from Dr. Tomas Chamorro-Premuzic, they discuss the difference between effective vs. ineffective authenticity, why trust often matters more than “being real,” and how to adapt without feeling fake. You'll learn three practical actions to help you show up authentically and intentionally in ways that work for you, your team, and your career.Episode 500

Humanism promises progress and freedom but ultimately repeats the rebellion that began in the Garden, placing faith in human potential while pushing God aside. It borrows values such as equality, justice, and dignity from Christianity, yet redefines them without His authority, resulting in shifting standards that cannot stand. Ray, E.Z., Mark, and Oscar emphasize that history shows every attempt to build utopia apart from God ends in destruction, no matter how noble the intentions. They warn that even conservatism can turn into humanism when policies or politics become the focus instead of Christ. Believers are called to remain grounded in God's Word, intentionally disciple their children, and live out the gospel daily. Ultimately, true freedom and security are not found in man-made ideals but only in surrendering to Christ, whose reign offers lasting hope.Send us a textThanks for listening!
