If your grocery spending feels like it's getting out of control, you are not alone. As my kids have grown, I've noticed just how much more food (and bigger portions!) we're going through every single week. Add inflation on top of that, and suddenly the grocery bill looks way higher than it used to.In this episode, I'm sharing the 3 rules my family lives by when it comes to grocery shopping. These three habits have saved us hundreds of dollars each month—and they've made grocery shopping way less stressful. My hope is that you'll hear at least one tip you can start using right away to spend less on food and feel more in control of your grocery budget.

In This Episode Many bank leaders are currently grappling with the same paradox: despite having access to more data than ever, it's increasingly difficult to discern what truly matters. Budgets are tight, initiatives are piling up, and the market sends conflicting signals, all while the imperative to remain relevant to customers persists. Breaking Banks did a show on VUCA (volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity) three weeks ago (if you missed it, take a listen when you get a chance!). When there's VUCA, the natural inclination is to add more—more dashboards, more projects, more committees—yet this rarely leads to clarity. This episode of Breaking Banks features Catherine Lynch from Citizens Bank and Greg Palmer, host of sister podcast Finovate. They discuss the importance of human-centered innovation. Catherine Lynch leads digital experience and human-centered design at Citizens, a super-regional bank with approximately 1,000 branches primarily in the Northeast and $220 billion in assets. With over 20 years in banking and prior experience at Accenture and various tech startups, Catherine has dedicated her career to leveraging technology to solve customer problems. At Citizens, she focuses on digital channel strategy and experience design for a diverse customer base, including consumers, commercial clients, and wealth management customers. Catherine explains that all banking clients share three fundamental needs: seeing their money, moving their money, and protecting their money. However, these needs have evolved as people navigate cognitive overload, economic stress, and reduced community connections, leading to a demand for simpler and easier banking experiences. To meet these changing expectations, Citizens employs a human-centered design approach, placing customer needs at the core of their problem-solving process through empathy, collaboration, iteration, and testing. Their innovation lab, part of Green Pixel Studios, enables them to observe customer interactions and rapidly develop solutions for pain points. With its human centered focus and work building the right kind of innovative community, the future looks bright for Citizens Bank as it continues to deliver exceptional customer experiences and help customers navigate today's information overload.

Gold has been surging this year—but what's behind the rise, and what should investors keep in mind before buying in?Precious metals, such as gold and silver, have long fascinated investors, particularly in times of economic uncertainty. But are they wise investments for today? If so, how should we approach them? Mark Biller joins us today to talk about investing in precious metals.Mark Biller is Executive Editor and Senior Portfolio Manager at Sound Mind Investing, an underwriter of Faith & Finance. The Surge in Gold and SilverGold's remarkable rise has captured headlines again, now up over $4,000 an ounce—up from about $2,600 at the start of 2025. That's a 50% gain this year on top of last year's 26% surge. Silver has jumped even higher, up roughly 60%, while gold mining stocks have more than doubled.What's behind this stunning rally? Several key forces are at play. Global central banks have been buying gold aggressively, a trend that accelerated after the U.S. froze Russia's dollar reserves in 2022. This event shook confidence in the U.S. dollar as a neutral reserve currency. Add in fears of currency debasement stemming from massive government spending since the COVID pandemic, and gold suddenly looks like a safer store of value.As investors around the world look for stability, gold—the “4,000-year-old alternative currency”—is once again shining.To understand today's prices, it helps to look at history. Adjusted for inflation, gold recently surpassed its all-time high from January 1980. Silver, meanwhile, is nearing $50 an ounce—the peak it hit in both 1980 and 2011—but still lags behind those highs when adjusted for inflation.These cycles remind investors that precious metals often move in waves—soaring during manias, then enduring long pullbacks. After its 1980 peak, silver prices dropped nearly 90%; after 2011, they fell by about 70%. Understanding those cycles helps set realistic expectations and temper “gold rush” enthusiasm.Gold as a Store of ValueUnlike stocks or bonds, gold doesn't produce income or dividends. That makes it tricky to value—but also unique. It's not a productive asset; it's a preservative one.For centuries, an ounce of gold could buy a fine men's suit. The same holds true today, illustrating its enduring purchasing power. Gold's real role isn't to generate profit—it's to store value when currencies lose theirs.Viewed this way, gold functions as an alternative currency to the world's paper money systems. As inflation rises and confidence in traditional currencies wavers, gold's relative stability stands out.Gold's appeal intensifies during uncertainty. Whether it's inflation, war, or financial instability, investors turn to gold as a hedge. While Americans rarely consider regime changes, history is filled with nations where financial systems collapsed, and gold helped preserve wealth across transitions.Even in less dramatic times, when governments respond to crises by printing more money, gold tends to perform well. As fear increases, so does the appetite for precious metals.Gold, Silver, and Mining Stocks: Knowing the DifferenceEach part of the precious metals market serves a different role:Gold is the foundation—a global monetary metal and store of value. It's what central banks buy, and it tends to be more stable.Silver is both a monetary and an industrial metal. Its demand fluctuates more with the economy, primarily due to uses in electronics and solar panels. That makes it more volatile—but also more accessible to smaller investors.Mining Stocks are speculative. While they can surge when gold prices rise, they're also risky. Over the long term, mining stocks have underperformed, so investors should approach them with caution.How to Invest Wisely in Precious MetalsWe recommend a balanced approach: Physical gold and silver provide direct ownership and long-term stability. However, storage and security are concerns, so it's best to keep this allocation small—around 5% of your portfolio.ETFs (Exchange-Traded Funds) offer convenience and liquidity. They're ideal for active management and diversification.Combining both approaches provides flexibility and peace of mind—anchoring part of your wealth in tangible assets while keeping another portion readily accessible for use.As with any investment, precious metals should be approached with discipline and perspective. They're best viewed as part of a long-term diversification strategy—not a get-rich-quick play.To learn more about investing wisely in gold and silver, Sound Mind Investing has released a free special report for Faith & Finance listeners.

It's well built but always needs work. Thankfully, I can handle many of the repairs myself, as I come from a family of electricians and real estate professionals. The issue is, I can't seem to deduct much of what I do on my taxes, even though I spend a lot of time maintaining the property. I also sometimes barter with family and friends, helping them with projects in exchange for their help. Is there a legal way for me to charge for some of my time or count this work toward deductions?I've got about $7,000 to $8,000 in credit card debt, and I'll be leaving my job soon. I have a 401(k) with a balance similar to mine, and I know that taking it out early means incurring taxes and penalties. Would it make sense to cash out my 401(k) to pay off my credit cards, or would you recommend an alternative approach?Resources Mentioned:Faithful Steward: FaithFi's New Quarterly Magazine (Become a FaithFi Partner)Sound Mind Investing (SMI)Inflation History: The Rise and Fall of the U.S. Dollar (Free Report by Sound Mind Investing)Christian Credit CounselorsWisdom Over Wealth: 12 Lessons from Ecclesiastes on MoneyLook At The Sparrows: A 21-Day Devotional on Financial Fear and AnxietyRich Toward God: A Study on the Parable of the Rich FoolFind a Certified Kingdom Advisor (CKA) or Certified Christian Financial Counselor (CertCFC)FaithFi App Remember, you can call in to ask your questions most days at (800) 525-7000.

C dans l'air l'invité du 15 octobre 2025 avec Olivier Blanchard, professeur émérite au MIT (Boston) et à la Paris School of economics, ancien économiste en chef du FMI.Sébastien Lecornu a annoncé mardi devant l'Assemblée nationale la suspension de la réforme des retraites, symbole de la présidence Macron. Lors de sa déclaration de politique générale, il a proposé la suspension de la réforme des retraites «jusqu'à l'élection présidentielle» de 2027, qui portera sur la mesure d'âge et la durée de cotisation, comme demandé par le PS, et proposé une conférence sociale sur «les retraites et le travail». «Aucun relèvement de l'âge n'interviendra à partir de maintenant jusqu'à janvier 2028, comme l'avait précisément demandé la CFDT. En complément, la durée d'assurance sera elle aussi suspendue et restera à 170 trimestres jusqu'à janvier 2028», a indiqué le Premier ministre. Selon Sébastien Lecornu, «le coût de la suspension pour notre système de retraite est de 400 millions d'euros en 2026 et de 1,8 milliard d'euros en 2027». Il a affirmé que «cette suspension bénéficiera à terme à 3,5 millions de Français».La réforme «devra donc être compensée financièrement, y compris par des mesures d'économies» et ne pourra «pas se faire au prix d'un déficit accru», a toutefois prévenu Sébastien Lecornu, qui a souligné sa volonté de préserver «la crédibilité de notre pays» aux yeux des «prêteurs sur les marchés financiers».Olivier Blanchard, ancien économiste en chef du FMI et professeur émérite au MIT, à Boston, et à la Paris School of economics, est notre invité. Il réagira à la suspension de la réforme des retraites, et analysera les conséquences pour le déficit, alors que le FMI annonce une prévision de croissance de 0,7% pour la France en 2025. Il nous donnera aussi ses préconisations en terme de justice fiscale et de taxation des plus riches, le jour où le socialiste Olivier Faure annonce qu'il souhaite proposer la taxe Zucman sous forme d'amendement au budget.

This week on "Off The Cuff," Melanie and Nalia provide an update on where things stand with funding for federal student aid programs due to the ongoing government shutdown. Nalia begins by debriefing listeners on what has happened with the government shutdown so far, which began on October 1. Melanie then discusses how the shutdown – now entering its third week – is impacting federal student aid, including concerns NASFAA has heard from members, and shares several resources to answer member questions. The team also highlights how the White House's most recent reduction in force (RIF) at the Department of Education (ED), where roughly 20% of staff were laid off, could impact higher education. Nalia also provides an overview of the current appropriations process, where Congress must work together to fund the government for fiscal year (FY) 2026.

Et finalement, il a tenu bon. Deux motions de censure repoussées, une Assemblée tendue, mais un cap maintenu : le gouvernement Lecornu II peut désormais gouverner, et surtout affronter son premier grand test politique : le budget.   Un budget présenté comme celui du courage et de la responsabilité : retour du déficit sous les 5%, 30 milliards d'euros d'effort, gel de crédits, coupes de fonctionnement, pause sur les retraites jusqu'en 2028, gel du barème de l'impôt sur le revenu, fin de l'abattement de 10% pour les retraités remplacé par une déduction fixe de 2000 euros, réduction des niches fiscales, contribution exceptionnelle sur les très hauts revenus, maintien de la surtaxe sur les grands groupes, tout cela sans toucher aux priorités régaliennes : Défense, Intérieur, Justice. Mais derrière ces chiffres, une question brûlante : ce budget peut-il vraiment faire reculer la dette ? La France peut-elle tenir ses engagements européens sans casser la croissance ? Et que veut dire, au fond, « réduire la dépense » quand l'État emprunte encore pour fonctionner ?    Pour en débattre - Henri Sterdyniak, économiste, co-fondateur de l'Observatoire des conjonctures économiques (OFCE) et membre du groupe des Économistes atterrés - Jean-Hervé Lorenzi, économiste, fondateur du Cercle des économistes.

You know how I always say that restriction doesn't work for weight loss? Well, it turns out it doesn't work for money either. Germaine and I jam on all the sneaky money traps we fall into as women and moms --- and how we can finally free ourselves from them. I sat down with my friend Germaine Foley, a total money queen who teaches women how to build wealth without restriction, deprivation, or overwhelm. You're going to be obsessed.Germaine used to have over $200K in debt, and now she's completely turned it around. She shares how she built wealth without giving up lattes, vacations, or joy (yes, please!). Her approach --- the Do Both Method --- is all about building wealth and enjoying life at the same time.Here's what we dive into:The invisible bars that keep us stuck in money cagesWhy "just make more money" isn't actually the solutionHow crash diets and strict budgets are basically the same trapThe mindset shift to do both --- live now and build for laterHow to align your spending with what actually matters to youMy favorite takeaway: money needs attention, but not obsession (like a good partner!)Germaine's 3-account system that makes managing money simple and funHow to stop ignoring your finances --- and start feeling empowered by themWhy spending on yourself isn't selfish --- it's smart, powerful, and necessaryI seriously got so fired up during this convo because the parallels between money and weight loss are wild. Both are about intention, not punishment. Attention, not restriction. Freedom, not perfection.If you're ready to change your relationship with money (and honestly, your whole life), go check out Germaine's free private podcastOr if you're like, "I need this woman in my life," book a consult with her.And mama --- don't forget to join the brand new Free the Moms Membership!

Could a reverse mortgage be a widow's best friend?Since women typically outlive men, many will one day carry the financial load alone. Today, Harlan Accola joins us to explain how reverse mortgages have changed and why they can offer widows stability, dignity, and confidence for the years ahead.Harlan Accola is the National Reverse Mortgage Director at Movement Mortgage, an underwriter of Faith and Finance. He is also the author of Home Equity and Reverse Mortgages: The Cinderella of the Baby Boomer Retirement.The Longevity ChallengeMany people still carry outdated assumptions about reverse mortgages. Some believe they're risky or predatory—especially for widows. However, over the years, these products have undergone significant evolution, incorporating new safeguards that make them a secure and compassionate option for many older adults, particularly surviving spouses.Women tend to outlive their husbands, often by several years. That creates what financial professionals call longevity risk—the challenge of stretching resources over a longer life. Couples frequently plan their finances assuming they'll live out retirement together, but the reality is that many widows face 2–10 years of life on their own, often with reduced income.For many, a reverse mortgage can bridge that gap. By allowing homeowners age 62 and older to access the equity in their homes without monthly payments, it provides a steady income—especially for those who want to remain in their homes.The reputation of reverse mortgages has improved dramatically since the early days. When the FHA introduced the program in 1988, some borrowers made unwise choices—like removing their spouse from the home title—which left surviving spouses vulnerable.Thankfully, that changed in 2013. Federal law now requires that both spouses be listed on the loan and protected by it. This safeguard ensures that a widow can remain in her home for as long as she wishes, without fear of foreclosure or forced sale.Dignity and Security for the Years AheadWhen a husband passes, household income often drops by around 40%. If a traditional mortgage payment remains, that financial burden can force a widow to sell her home. A reverse mortgage eliminates that risk by converting home equity into income—allowing her to stay in the place she loves, surrounded by memories, with dignity and financial stability.For widows, that security is invaluable. It turns a house into a lasting home, ensuring that the twilight years can be lived not in fear, but in peace.To learn more about whether a reverse mortgage could benefit your situation, visit Movement.com/Faith.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I'm trying to find information about a Christian savings and loan, but I haven't been able to get the contact details. Can you point me in the right direction?I don't feel like I have enough savings to handle a real emergency. I'm working both full-time and part-time jobs just to keep up with bills, plus I'm trying to pay off student loans and credit cards. I feel stretched thin and don't know what to do next.I called before about my advisor and wanted to give you an update. Now I have a question: I have a 401(k), a traditional IRA, and a Roth IRA—each with about $100,000. When I retire, do I need to withdraw from one before the others, or is there a better strategy for taking distributions?I recently changed jobs and left my 401(k) with my former employer, which is now closing its doors. Should I roll that money into my new job's plan or transfer it elsewhere? I'm not very familiar with managing investments myself.I currently have a moderate growth account with a steady income, but I'm considering withdrawing the funds. Would CDs be a safe place to move that money, or do you have other suggestions?I need help finding affordable health insurance on a limited income. I have some past health issues, and I'm worried about being penalized.

durée : 00:05:36 - La Revue de presse internationale - par : Catherine Duthu - Plus de 100 000 manifestants ont défilé mardi à Bruxelles pour contester le recul de l'âge de départ à la retraite à 67 ans et es coupes budgétaires "brutales" du gouvernement belge dirigé par le conservateur flamand Bart De Wever.

C dans l'air du 15 octobre 2025 - Lecornu : la censure s'éloigne... jusqu'à quand ? Sébastien Lecornu a-t-il sauvé sa peau ? Le Premier ministre a en tout cas convaincu les socialistes de ne pas voter la censure. Hier après-midi, dans son discours de politique générale, le chef du gouvernement a en effet répondu aux exigeances du PS en suspendant la réforme des retraites, et en confirmation la non-utilisation du 49.3.Sans les socialistes, la motion de censure déposée par les insoumis ne devrait donc pas être adoptée. Mais les dissidents, PS ou républicains (ceux-ci digèrent mal cette victoire de la gauche, même si leur parti appelle à ne pas censurer) pourraient permettre d'atteindre les 289 voix nécessaires pour faire tomber le gouvernement. Le compte sera donc serré. Réponse demain matin.En attendant, on en sait plus sur les mesures du budget 2026 proposé par Lecornu. La suppression de l'abattement de 10% sur les retraites est l'un des points principaux.Un abattement forfaitaire de 2000 euros devrait le remplacer et ce, dans l'objectif d'améliorer la situation des retraités les plus modestes, en mettant davantage à contribution les plus aisés. C dans l'air est allé à la rencontre de l'économiste Maxime Sbaihi, favorable à cette suppression. Selon lui, le système français souffre d'une iniquité générationnelle dont les actifs sont les grands perdants.Pendant ce temps, certains patrons de PME ont de plus en plus de difficultés. Prix de l'énergie, inflation, guerre commerciale… La multiplication des chocs conjoncturels menace l'activité de milliers d'entreprises. C dans l'air a suivi un plaquiste et cuisiniste de Troyes, dans l'Aube. Les deux ont parfois du mal à trouver des clients, et à augmenter le salaire de leurs employés...Alors, les motions de censure déposées ont-elles encore des chances d'être adoptées ? La suppression de l'abattement de 10% sur les retraites est-elle une mesure juste ? Comment les PME font-elles face au contexte économique tendu ?

We promise this isn't another boring budget breakdown! This week, we're asking a bigger question: what if taxation isn't really about raising money, but about changing behaviour? With Ireland awash in corporate tax revenue, the old logic of “tax to fund spending” doesn't quite hold. So, should we start using taxes to shape how people act, from derelict sites to carbon emissions, and borrow the money we need instead? We explore how Ireland's unique position in global finance could make it a testing ground for a new kind of economic thinking, one where the budget becomes less about arithmetic, and more about incentives, behaviour, and human nature.

What does it really take to help manufacturers grow? It's not just about cutting costs or chasing margins. It's about understanding how capital really moves through your business. In this episode, we're sitting down with Erik Skie, Jon Hughes, and Aaron Traut from CLA (CliftonLarsonAllen) for a roundtable chat over beers (in spirit, if not literally).We talk about why profitability is a decision, how to tell your story through your financials, and what manufacturers can do to attract capital and fuel real growth.We also discuss opportunities like bonus depreciation and the Made in America initiative, giving manufacturers timely insights they can act on right now.In this episode, find out:Why most manufacturers focus on price and cost but overlook capacity, and how filling unused capacity can unlock new profit.How profitability is a decision, not just an outcome, and how daily choices around people, machines, and space shape your results.Why you don't manage financial statements; you manage the shop floor activities that create strong financials.How staying financially organized builds lender confidence through accurate books and clear storytelling.Why looking inside your business before seeking outside funding can uncover hidden capital in cash flow and working capital.How telling a clear, confident financial story helps your company stand out to banks and investors.And why when you get the fundamentals right, opportunity finds you.

Investing isn't just about returns—it's about reflecting what we truly value.Our faith is meant to guide every area of life, including how we invest. When our hearts are set on God, our investing reflects His priorities—caring for creation, serving our neighbor, and letting what we treasure shape how we steward His resources. Tim Macready joins us today to talk about a “theology of investing.”Tim Macready is Head of Global Advisory at BrightLight, a division of EverSource Wealth Advisors. A Theology of Investing: Bringing Faith to Financial DecisionsMost people view investing as a financial act—an attempt to grow wealth, manage risk, or secure a comfortable future. Yet Scripture invites us to see investing as something much deeper: a spiritual act rooted in stewardship, love, and worship.A theology of investing reimagines financial activity not as separate from faith but as an expression of it. It calls believers to bring their heart, head, and hands together, transforming investing from a pursuit of profit into a practice of discipleship.Theology simply means the study of God and how what we learn about Him shapes the way we live. Applied to investing, it means aligning financial decisions with biblical truths about creation, stewardship, and love for neighbor.Faith is not only a matter of belief—it's a matter of lived action. When we view investing through this lens, we begin to see it as part of our calling to manage God's resources wisely and to use them in ways that bring about human flourishing and reflect His goodness.The Creation Mandate and the Purpose of InvestingThe story begins in Genesis 1–2. Out of His divine goodness, God creates a world filled with potential and beauty, then entrusts humanity with the task of cultivating and developing what He made.Investing participates in that same creation mandate. It takes the resources God has provided and reallocates them so that they become productive—fueling innovation, creating jobs, and contributing to the flourishing of communities. Financial returns become a byproduct of faithful stewardship rather than the sole objective.Through investing, believers join God in bringing order, beauty, and abundance to His creation.Some assume investing is little more than glorified gambling, but the two could not be more different. Gambling is speculation—a zero-sum pursuit driven by chance. Investing, on the other hand, is a form of stewardship. It seeks to grow what God has entrusted by putting resources to work productively in the service of others.Faithful investing recognizes that capital is not an end in itself but a tool for participating in God's creative and redemptive work in the world.Loving God and Neighbor Through InvestmentWhen Jesus summarized the law, He tied together two inseparable commands: love God and love your neighbor (Matthew 22:37–39). Investing offers a tangible way to live out both.By directing capital toward enterprises that meet real needs, create employment, and improve lives, investors can participate in the biblical call to love their neighbor. Investing becomes a form of generosity—an intentional choice to place capital at risk so that others may benefit and communities may thrive.When guided by love, investing ceases to be a self-focused pursuit and becomes a practice of service and shared flourishing.In Matthew 6, Jesus teaches that “where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” That truth reveals not only that our spending reflects what we love, but also that our hearts are shaped by where we invest.Our financial choices form us. Every investment helps build something—industries, technologies, and cultures. Those choices shape what we value and the kind of world we participate in creating.If the heart is anchored in Christ, investing becomes a means to align one's desires with discipleship, ensuring that financial growth serves God's purposes and the good of others.In modern markets, investing often feels impersonal. Index funds and digital platforms can make financial activity seem detached from real lives. Yet every investment still represents a relationship—people on both sides working, creating, and depending on one another.Recovering this relational awareness reminds believers that investing is not merely an economic transaction. It's a moral and spiritual act that affects individuals and communities made in God's image.From Portfolio to WorshipScripture consistently warns of wealth's dangers—not because money itself is evil, but because it so easily tempts us to trust it instead of God. As C.S. Lewis observed, the comforts wealth provides can dull our sense of dependence on the Lord.Greed, the Bible says, is a form of idolatry (Colossians 3:5). When money becomes our source of security, it quietly replaces the Provider Himself. Biblical investing begins with the opposite conviction: everything belongs to God, and we remain utterly dependent on Him for every good gift.A single strategy or product does not define faithful investing. It is marked by intent—by the desire to align financial decisions with God's purposes.That may mean avoiding investments that exploit others or harm creation, or seeking out opportunities that promote dignity, justice, and flourishing. Sometimes it might even mean accepting lower returns for the sake of love.Ultimately, profit is more than numbers on a page—it represents the fruit of faithful stewardship in a mutually beneficial exchange that honors God and blesses others.When believers see investing as part of their discipleship, it transforms the act itself. No longer about accumulation, it becomes about participation—joining God's ongoing work of renewal in the world.Faithful investing asks deeper questions:How does this investment serve my neighbor?How does it reflect the beauty and justice of God's Kingdom?How does it shape my heart toward or away from Christ?When those questions guide our portfolios, investing becomes more than a financial decision—it becomes an act of worship.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I'm looking to tap into my home's equity to cover some needed repairs. My roof is nearly 20 years old, and the house also needs painting. I owe approximately $167,000, and the home is valued at around $375,000.

durée : 00:15:30 - Journal de 8 h - Le Premier ministre Sébastien Lecornu doit envoyer sa copie au parlement ce mardi, avant sa déclaration de politique générale à l'Assemblée nationale.

The Trump administration pushed forward Friday with plans to fire federal employees amid the government shutdown, directing reductions-in-force at the Departments of Health and Human Services, Education, and Housing and Urban Development, among other agencies. Prior to and during the current shutdown, the White House repeatedly threatened to lay off additional federal workers in a bid to further its efforts to shrink the size of the government. The Trump administration maintains Democrats are to blame for the shutdown, though Democrats contend that a spending bill from Republicans — who control all levers of power — wouldn't adequately fund health care. Russ Vought, the director of the Office of Management and Budget, posted on X early Friday afternoon that the “RIFs have begun,” without offering additional details. An OMB spokesperson told FedScoop the RIFs began and are “substantial.” In a preview of his discussions with Vought last week, President Donald Trump said in a post to his social media platform that they would target “Democrat Agencies,” calling them “a political SCAM.” According to a court filing from the Trump administration late Friday, at least 4,100 federal workers across eight federal agencies may have been sent RIF notices, with the bulk of the staff reductions at HHS, with 1,100 to 1,200 workers impacted, and the Department of Treasury, with 1,446 workers impacted. Deploying artificial intelligence requires taking on the right amount of risk to achieve a desired end result, a National Institute of Standards and Technology official who worked on its risk management framework for the technology said on a panel last week. While federal agencies, and particularly IT functions, are generally risk averse, risks can't entirely be avoided with AI, Martin Stanley, an AI and cybersecurity researcher at the Commerce Department standards agency, said during a FedInsider panel on “Intelligent Government” last week. Stanley said: “You have to manage risks, number one,” adding that the benefits from the technology are compelling enough that “you have to go looking to achieve those.” Stanley's comments came in response to a question about how the federal government compares to other sectors that have been doing risk management for longer, such as financial services. On that point specifically, he said the NIST AI Risk Management Framework “shares a lot of DNA” with Federal Reserve guidance on algorithmic models in financial services. He said NIST attempted to leverage those approaches and the same plain, simple language. “We talk about risks, we talk about likelihoods, and we talk about impacts, both positive and negative, so that you can build this trade space where you are taking on the right amount of risk to achieve a benefit,” Stanley said.

As event planners, we know that food and beverage is rarely just a line item—it's an experience, a connector, and sometimes a challenge. In this week's Eating at a Meeting LIVE, I'm gathered a group of event planners — Janet C. Hoppenstein, CMP, Shannon Ryan, CMP, and Julie Wong, CMP — for an open conversation about how they navigate ordering F&B for their events: what guides their decisions, what concessions or compromises they make, and how they think about the attendee experience when planning menus. We'll talk about: ▶︎ How budget, inclusivity, sustainability, and logistics come into play ▶︎ What they wish venues and caterers understood better ▶︎ How attendee expectations are changing—and how planners are adapting Whether you're a planner yourself or part of a catering or venue team, this conversation will offer insights that can help you deliver better, more thoughtful food and beverage at your next event.
