Are you graduating from the grind in 2026? You could go it alone and wing it. But here’s what one participant said about our small group coaching program: “It was fantastic! I got to work with other people and share ideas with others on what retirement could be. It gave me clarity and confidence.” New groups are starting on January 22 & 23. Let’s go. Learn more Join us “Challenged me to get out of the starting blocks and far down the path of really thinking about this next phase of my life in very different ways. I now feel like I have a solid road map.” “I wish I'd taken this program earlier.” _____________________________ What if everything you’ve planned for financially in retirement still leaves you feeling completely lost? Today’s guest knows this paradox intimately. Dan Haylett built his career as a financial planner, helping people achieve financial independence. But what he discovered shocked him: when money stops being the problem in retirement, and that’s when the real problems show up. Dan is a retirement transition specialist helping people navigate the psychological side of retirement that no financial plan can solve. He’s learned that people plan meticulously for financial independence but rarely prepare for psychological independence. The result? Three devastating losses hit early: loss of structure, loss of relevance, and loss of identity. In this conversation, Dan shares his framework for retirement well-being built on five human pillars that have nothing to do with your bank account. He challenges what you think you know about retirement as a “reward” and shows you why the most successful retirements aren’t built on bucket lists and endless travel, but on something far simpler and more profound. If you’ve ever wondered who you are when no one needs your output anymore, this episode will change how you see the next chapter of your life. Dan Haylett joins us from the UK. ______________________ Bio Dan Haylett, who's the author of The Retirement You Didn't See Coming: a guide to the human side of retirement nobody warns you about. Dan is a financial planner and head of growth for TFP Financial Planning based in the UK. Dan focuses on financial planning, retirement planning, and life planning for people 50+.

Money stops being the problem. And that’s when the real problems show up, right? So I think that’s kind of the biggest surprise for me. People expect relief. Instead, they probably feel quite disorientated. They’ve planned for financial independence, but not necessarily psychological independence. And so I think the three big shocks or surprises, I think, tend to hit quite early. You get this loss of structure. So there’s kind of no diary or no default rhythm. People get this loss of relevance. Nobody needs you at 9 a.m. anymore. And this loss of identity that job title that once explained you to the world has quietly disappeared. So I think that to me is probably the three big,money stops being the problem. And then the real problems of loss, particularly structure, relevance and identity, really start to take hold. I think one of the things that I really want to reframe when it comes to structure, structure doesn’t disappear in retirement. I think it just stops being imposed on us. For decades, work has  spoon-fed you your structure to a degree, right? Work gave us a reason to get up, a place to be, people to see, and problems to solve. And I think if you remove that overnight, your brain will just panic. And I think the mistake that people try to make, or sorry, the mistake people make is trying to recreate work this kind of same hours, same busyness, just without the meaning. And instead, what I encourage people to do is to build what I would describe as kind of light scaffolding, I suppose, something like that, not rigid schedules, just kind of what I would describe as anchors.” On Identity “The question is, who are you when no one needs your output? Let that breathe for a second. Who are you when no one needs your output? And then you start widening identity whilst you’re still working, right? Develop interests that don’t pay you. Spend time with people who don’t care what you do. And I think really importantly, notice what gives you energy outside of kind of performance and status. Because I do think if your entire sense of self is wrapped up in your role in your job, retirement will feel less like freedom and kind of more like redundancy, right? It’s that kind of instant, you’ve lost this thing and you didn’t want to lose it. So I do think it’s a massive challenge because it’s been, you know, our identity that we’ve had has given us so much, has given us status, has given us structure, it’s given us a sense of self-worth. It’s given us many things that provide us with joy and happiness. And, you know, for the first time, we’re free probably to explore with a really decent chunk of wisdom who we actually are as a person. I think the first question you ask is, what’s your name? Hopefully, if you want to kind of start building a bit of a rapport and bond with someone. And maybe the second question is, what do you do? And as we’ve just explored, you would typically answer that question with, I am a ___________. Or on a lot of occasions, someone still gives you a business card or now modern day, it’s like a QR code, right? That kind of gives you a little thing. But, if you give a business card and on that business card, it will have your name. And underneath your name, it will have your job title. It’s kind of, here you are. This is what I do. This is who I am. And my challenge I do to people, I say, well, if you didn’t have a business card, what would you give out or what would you say? And actually, let’s create a business card. Let’s think about what your business card would say. And you can be creative, you can be funny, you can be jovial, you can be serious, you can be whatever you want. But what if your business card said free to explore or, you know, just make up something creative? I’ve got a client who on his business card wrote, trying to play the top 100 golf courses in England before I die, right? That kind of thing. It’s kind of like, that was one of his missions. And you can have multiple business cards, multiple things that you want. So it’s just trying to kind of frame this thing where I think people will, because what I do see, Joe, which I think is actually quite sad, is when people hang on to past identities.”

We’re now on YouTube every week! Click here to subscribe. On our radar this week… There is a lot on our radar along with Santa's sleigh… The Justice Department is dipping into the National Black Toner Cartridge Strategic Reserve as it redacts tens-of-thousands of pages of the Epstein files. Even so, the scandal continues to grow in a way not seen since the days of Monica Lewinsky. Larry Nassar, the disgraced onetime MSU sports doctor, is now a part of the scandal. A note allegedly from Epstein celebrates their shared perverted interest in vulnerable teenage girls. The FBI says the letter is a fake – and we know that Kash Patel would never tell a lie. The newly released files also show Trump was an Epstein Frequent Flyer … after saying for months he never flew on Lolita Airlines. Attorneys General are increasingly in the political bullseye. Democrats in the U.S. House may be joined by some Republicans to impeach Pam Bondi over the Epstein files debacle, even as Bondi continues to fail in efforts to indict New York AG Leticia James. In Michigan, state House Republicans are mulling over an attempt to impeach Attorney General Dana Nessel, something that would be totally symbolic but make MAGA Republicans feel good. The MAGA movement may need to get some couples therapy after an unhinged verbal brawl at the Turning Point USA weekend conference. We'll be joined later in the podcast by Politico senior Adam Wren who's been covering Turning Point's efforts to be a major political force. The next key political battle in Michigan: a special election for the state Senate. The primary for replacing now-Congresswoman Kristen McDonald Rivet is set for February 3 … a swing district that will determine control of the state Senate for 2026. We'll take a look at the candidates on both sides. CBS News has gone from The Gold Standard for broadcast news to the toilet with Trump-favorable censorship of 60 Minutes. Murrow, Cronkite, Severeid, et. al. are spinning in their graves, and the very much alive Katie Couric calls it a “disgrace.” First it was the Donald Trump Institute for Peace, then the Kennedy Center, Trump Saving Accounts, Trump $1 coins. Now Donald Trump has decided an entire class of battleships will bear his name…and he'll play a role in designing them because, he says, “I'm a very aesthetic person.” Is the world's first gold-plated Navy fleet in our future? And will he continue his years-long business of licensing use of his name on other people's projects? Trump has raised the possibility of awarding himself a $1-billion settlement of the lawsuit he's filed against the government he runs…in effect, judge, jury and beneficiary. Why stop at a billion? Why not a trillion or gazillion? Of course he'll say tariffs will cover the check. We’re joined this week by Adam Wren, a national political correspondent for POLITICO, based in the Midwest. He is a contributor to POLITICO Magazine, Playbook and West Wing Playbook, focusing on Donald Trump's remaking of the federal government and the Democratic response to his return to power ahead of what could be a wide-open 2028 presidential contest. Wren previously served as a national politics features correspondent at Business Insider. He has also written for The New York Times and Washington Post. Originally from Ohio, Adam graduated from Indiana Wesleyan University and has a master's from Northwestern University's prestigious Medill School of Journalism.

Today's conversation is about second acts that arrive not quietly—but boldly. Kim Gottlieb-Walker published her debut novel at age 78 after a 50-year career as a photographer. She also leads the Vintage Writers, a lively weekly Zoom group of women authors over 70. Joining her is Roselyn Teukolsky, a former math and computer science educator who retired and now writes fiction. This conversation explores creative courage, identity shifts, the power of starting something new – and the value of community. Kim Gottlieb-Walker and Roselyn Teukolsky join us from California. _________________________ Planning for retirement? Check out our recommended Best Books for Retirement _________________________ Bios Kim Gottlieb-Walker's  career as a photographer covered a wide range of subjects, from classic rock and roll, reggae, and politics in the ‘60s and ‘70s to major motion pictures and television shows. Now in her late 70s, she has reinvented herself as a novelist. While still at UCLA (where she  received a BA in Motion Picture production) and shortly thereafter, she shot for underground LA newspapers and magazines including Crawdaddy, the Staff, and Music World. She  also shot the stills for John Carpenter's Halloween, The Fog, Christine and Escape from New York and worked at Paramount Pictures for nine years as the production photographer for Cheers, and five years for Family Ties. For three decades she  was an elected representative for still photographers on the National Executive Board of IATSE Local 600, the International Cinematographers Guild. Her coffee-table photo books Bob Marley and the Golden Age of Reggae and On Set with John Carpenter were published by Titan Press (UK) distributed by Random House (USA) and both are now in multiple printing. They have editions in Japanese, Russian and French. She's  had gallery shows in London, Los Angeles and New York. Her novels are  Lenswoman in Love – a novel of the 1960s & ‘70s (her debut) and the not-yet published historical novel Caterina by Moonlight, about a girl growing up in renaissance Florence in the late 15th century. Her short story “Summer of Love – 1967” appears in the multi-award-winning anthology Feisty Deeds. Former math and computer science teacher, Roselyn Teukolsky, is the author of A Reluctant Spy, an unconventional spy thriller, and The Fourth Woman, a cautionary tale about online dating. Teukolsky has long been intrigued by the dilemmas faced by smart women in male-dominated settings. Working as a computer science teacher has given her the familiarity to create an authentic female protagonist, a brilliant computer scientist, who, in the latest novel, must ward off a ransomware attack and an online-dating predator. Teukolsky has a B.Sc. in Math and Chemistry from the University of the Witwatersrand in Johannesburg, and an M.S. in Math Education from Cornell. She is the author of the Barron's review book for AP Computer Science, which is currently in its 12th edition. Roselyn's favorite pastime is tournament bridge. She wrote How to Play Bridge with Your Spouse … and Survive (Master Point Press) in 2002. She lives in Pasadena, CA, with her husband, Saul Teukolsky. ________________________ Have a Question You’d Like Answered on the Podcast?

And it keeps your brain alive. There’s so much you have to learn with the learning curve of writing a book that it keeps your brain cells going. It stimulates them. I think there are many people out there who, after having had very active careers that are now retired and are feeling at lost ends. Every person has met interesting people during their lives, has had things happen to them, have had tragedies, have had happiness. Everybody has experiences in them that they might want to communicate. And writing, even though it seems like a very solitary occupation, it gives you a chance to put all of your life experience out into the world and to then connect with other people, other writers, to get the support that you need and to learn all of the different aspects of it. So it’s a very satisfying way to spend your retirement. Oh, well, it’s an amazing group of women. They’re all over 70. They’ve all reinvented themselves as writers. Some were writers beforehand, but most have reinvented themselves. And they cover all different kinds of writing of every genre. There’s self-help, there’s romance, there’s mystery, there’s historical fiction, and they’re all very talented, alert, wonderful women. And we meet every Tuesday on Zoom and commiserate and celebrate and give advice. And it has been the most wonderful support group. So we’re not isolated in retirement. We have interactions with people who have similar goals and similar challenges. It’s a tremendous support group.” – Kim Gottlieb-Walker On Age as an Asset ” It is never too late to reinvent yourself. It’s totally within your reach. You don’t have to depend on anyone else. All you have to do is sit down and let your ideas flow. And I wouldn’t worry about ageism because now that we’re in an age where you can self-publish, it doesn’t matter how old you are. And the fact that we have had such rich lives and so many experiences informs the writing and gives the writing depth and gives it reality because it’s based on our real experiences. No matter what you’re writing, you’re bringing your life experiences into it, which is incredibly valuable. So don’t worry about ageism. Don’t worry about the publisher. Just get it out on paper. Do it yourself.” – Kim Gottlieb-Walker On Starting to Write “A lot of my friends have said to me, Oh, they would love to write a book. They would love to write a book. They’re going to write a book. But the point is, if you don’t sit down every day at the same time, backside in the desk, it doesn’t happen. It just doesn’t. Even if you sit and do nothing. I would ask, what are you going to do in the next 10 years? And I say, I don’t know what I’m going to do. And I say, Well, why not write in the next 10 years?” – Roselyn Teukolsky

Kick 2017 Video with Director Steve Hanft “Watch the world argue, argue with itself, who's going to teach me peace and happiness” (Dancing on the Jetty 1983)... Never have these words and lyrics been more appropriate as all Australians try to make sense of the abhorrent terrorism at Sydney's iconic Bondi Beach. A beach with so many INXS connections that we discuss on this episode. That aside, we dedicate this episode to every person affected by this horrible crime.   We are thrilled to have Steve Hanft, the famed Californian film clip Director and early YouTube content creator, join the INXS podcast family and talk about his iconic 2017 promotional video for the song Kick, the eponymous title track commemorating the 30th anniversary of this juggernaut album's release. Having grown up with and worked on Beck's 1994 Video of the Year track “Loser”, Steve has been a mainstay in the underground and alternative music scene, producing clips for The Cure, Primal Scream and Elliot Smith. Additionally, Steve was at the forefront of YouTube with his award-winning “Sunglasses Catch", which has been named one of “The 10 Most Important YouTube Videos” according to Business Insider.   With a video shot on the beaches and boardwalks of Los Angeles, Steve shares some fascinating insights into the production, cast, Garry Gary Beers cameo and the vision behind the first-ever film clip for this fantastic song, and the influence Chris Murphy had.

This segment of the Omni Talk Retail Fast Five, sponsored by the A&M Consumer and Retail Group, Mirakl, Ocampo Capital, Infios, and Quorso, explores Amazon's reported plans to launch a Rush pickup service enabling one-hour order collection at Amazon-owned stores. According to Business Insider, the service would let shoppers place unified orders from Amazon's marketplace and physical store inventory. Chris argues this is a road to nowhere given Whole Foods' operational constraints and Walmart's superior store network, while Anne sees potential if Amazon can solve the logistics puzzle. Is this Amazon's answer to Walmart's pickup dominance or an operational overreach? ⏩ Tune in for the full episode here: https://youtu.be/RjBUyfWgxzY #Amazon #AmazonRush #WholeFoods #retailpickup #lastmile #Walmart #omnichannel #retailoperations

On this episode of HALO Talks, host Pete Moore sits down with Johnny Hilbrant—SoulCycle instructor turned viral sensation, also known as "PE Guy." From his roots riding and teaching at Soul in Chicago and Boston, Johnny talks about his journey from fitness enthusiast to comedic creator, blending his knack for improv and sharp observational humor to lampoon a familiar character . . . the "private equity bro" you inevitably get cornered by at a wedding or some other event. The conversation gets into how Johnny developed his PE Guy persona, why the character resonates so widely (with both chuckling fans and the occasional real-life PE pro who's less amused), and how he manages authenticity even as brand partnerships and cameo requests start rolling in. Along the way, Johnny and Pete also discuss the importance of self-awareness, the ability to laugh at yourself, and the line between satire and selling out. Whether you're in the PE world, the HALO sector (Health, Active Lifestyle, Outdoor), or just love a good roast, this episode is packed with insights, behind-the-scenes stories, and plenty of laughs. On the private equity lifestyle Hilbrant states, "Some of these folks seem to be a little bit . . . haphazard, like a runaway train, because they're among other people who are buying watches and flying privately." Key themes discussed SoulCycle instructor journey and community. Industry changes and business model evolution. Creation and popularity of "PE Guy" character. Satire of private equity culture. Audience feedback and handling criticism. Brand partnerships and authenticity challenges. Creative process behind viral content. A Few Key Takeaways:  1.Journey Into SoulCycle & Fitness Industry Johnny shared how he began his SoulCycle journey in Chicago while searching for his next career move. After auditioning with 60 others and being one of only two selected, he trained with Soul before relocating to Boston, where he found both community and success as an instructor. 2. Evolution of SoulCycle Culture: The conversation also touched on the shifts in SoulCycle's energy and market position over the years. Hilbrandt acknowledged changes due to increased competition and tweaks to the business model, but emphasized that the unique, immersive studio experience and community still remain, even if the industry's "buzz" has faded a bit. 3. Viral Creation of "PE Guy": The "PE Guy" character began as a playful exaggeration of a certain type you meet at weddings—someone who talks at you endlessly. He used a filter to bring this persona to life, and after giving the character a private equity job, the videos quickly went viral. He credits the rapid rise to relatable satire and people recognizing the archetype. 4. Reception of Satire—Mostly Positive, Rare Backlash: Most of the audience, even those in private equity, really appreciate Hilbrandt's satire. He's largely received positive feedback, with a few exceptions (such as one in-person encounter with a Bain professional who took it personally.) He noted the importance of self-awareness and being able to laugh at oneself, a skill he thinks can foster humility and potentially even positive changes in the finance industry. 5. Creative Process & Brand Partnerships: Hilbrandt described his creative process as a mix of structured and spontaneous inspiration—sometimes scripting out ideas, other times improvising based on something he sees or hears. The success of "PE Guy" has led to lucrative partnerships, especially with B2B and tech brands, though luxury brands are often hesitant to be self-deprecating. He's committed to maintaining authenticity and resisting "selling out," balancing brand deals with staying true to the character's comedic roots.

Mr. Beast Biography Flash a weekly Biography.In the past few days Jimmy Donaldson, better known as Mr Beast, has been in that rare zone where every move is both a business story and a pop culture moment, and the biggest development is his quiet but very real pivot from superstar creator to would be financial and telecom mogul. At The New York Times DealBook Summit, in an onstage interview now posted on the Times YouTube channel, Donaldson and Beast Industries CEO Jeff Housenbold laid out plans for a new mobile phone service called Beast Mobile, positioned as a creator branded wireless carrier that leans on his more than 450 million YouTube subscribers. Housenbold said the company is also building a MrBeast Financial platform, with a trademark filing describing a banking and crypto enabled app, and he framed it as financial literacy plus access to services rather than just another sponsorship deal, a move that Business Insider reports would make him one of the first major creators to enter consumer finance at this scale. TechCrunch and Entrepreneur both highlight that these products sit inside Beast Industries, the holding company recently valued around 5 billion dollars, with Feastables chocolate still its most profitable line, and Housenbold openly floated the idea of a future IPO so that fans could own a slice of the empire, an idea echoed in coverage by TechCrunch and Unilad as a potential creator led public listing. Those DealBook remarks doubled as a rare long form public appearance, where Donaldson acknowledged that some recent YouTube uploads have not met his own standards and pledged to refocus on “great stories,” even as he juggles Beast Games on Amazon, an animation push, a creator brand marketplace and physical consumer products from toys to snacks. He also addressed the lawsuits from MrBeast Burger partner Virtual Dining Concepts and from a small group of Beast Games contestants; in the Times interview he characterized the show disputes as an inevitable risk when nearly 2,000 people compete, saying some people sue to “try to make money,” while Housenbold insisted the team is learning and that season two, due early next year, will be “a lot better.” There is online speculation, amplified by fan social media and tabloid style sites, that Beast Mobile and MrBeast Financial could evolve into a full scale “MrBeast bank” or that an IPO is imminent, but as of now reputable outlets like Business Insider and TechCrunch report only early stage plans and trademark groundwork rather than a firm launch date or listing timetable.

What does real leadership at home actually look like — and why do our daughters expose the gaps faster than anyone else? In this powerful episode of The Daughtered Podcast, Oscar sits down with Albert Butler for an honest, deeply personal conversation about fatherhood, marriage, emotional intelligence, and what it truly means to lead your family well. Albert Butler is a CPA, MBA, national accounting firm partner, published author, and a devoted father of four (three daughters and one son). With decades of leadership experience in business, Albert brings a rare perspective on how professional leadership principles must be refined — not replicated — at home. His work has been featured in outlets such as Forbes, Business Insider, and Yahoo Finance, but he proudly identifies first and foremost as a husband and girl dad. He shares how becoming a girl dad — starting with a life-altering NICU experience — reshaped the way he views responsibility, leadership, and presence. Together, they unpack why many fathers excel at leadership at work but struggle to translate those same principles at home, especially with their daughters. Albert also opens up about marriage, humility, and the mindset that has guided his life and fatherhood journey: “I can because I will.” Albert is the author of Life: Truth, Love, Loss, Success & Failure, a book inspired by fatherhood and legacy, written to pass wisdom down to future generations. If you’re a dad raising daughters, navigating marriage, or trying to become a more present and emotionally grounded leader at home, this conversation will challenge you — and equip you — to do better.

I was staring out the window and it was a foggy evening. And I wondered, we’re all asleep at night. And I was wondering, what happens at night? The coyotes are howling and no one is walking about. What really is going on? So I imagined in my own mind a short story evolving… I had something. Maybe four or five pages. And I showed it to Michelle. And she said, Jeez, Dad, it’s kind of an interesting story. Have you ever considered writing it into a novel? And I thought, well, I never gave it any thought. But now that you mention it, it might be a good idea.” – Neil On Intergenerational Collaboration “So this isn’t the first time we had worked together. We did work together professionally in commercial real estate, but this was the first time we had worked together on a creative project, more of a passion project. And what really struck me was how much we both loved writing and creativity. My dad had written things, as I mentioned, I have written things, but we’d never worked on something collaboratively together. So this to me was really surprising because it was so much fun.  And had I known it would be this much fun, I would have suggested something sooner. The work in this case is the fun. And another point in a professional setting, especially in real estate, my dad was the mentor and I was the mentee. Whereas this was new, this is new for both of us. The editing process, the literary world is a new discovery, which is fun equally on both sides. No one is the expert in this case. We’re learning together, which I found was really refreshing.” – Michelle On Transferable Skills “I found the process of writing a novel to be very similar to what I did for a living for about 50 years. Earlier on, as we were getting ready to build something, we would hire an architect, we would hire designers and planners and tradesmen. And I found myself ironically finding the same in script writers and editors and influencers that came to the party as well. And I found that writing a novel and building a building were very, very similar. And one of the characteristics in real estate development is the attitude of patience.” – Neil

Stijn Schmitz welcomes Lyn Alden to the show. Lyn Alden is founder of Lyn Alden Investment Strategy. In this comprehensive interview, Alden discusses her “gradual print thesis” and the current macroeconomic landscape, focusing on fiscal dominance and potential long-term economic challenges facing developed countries, particularly the United States. Alden argues that the United States is entering a period of sustained fiscal challenges, characterized by large structural deficits and a complex monetary environment. She suggests the country is transitioning from monetary tightening to monetary loosening, with significant implications for asset allocation. Unlike emerging markets that experience rapid currency debasement, developed countries like the US have more flexibility due to global demand for their currency and extensive international financial infrastructure. Find Out More About Palisades Goldcorp, Canada’s Leading Junior Resource Investment Company:► Website: https://palisades.ca Palisade Radio Links:► Website & Newsletter: https://palisadesradio.ca► Rumble: https://rumble.com/c/c-1586024 The discussion explores historical parallels, particularly drawing comparisons to the 1940s-1970s period. Alden emphasizes that while direct comparisons are impossible, certain patterns emerge, such as the importance of owning hard assets during periods of monetary expansion. She recommends diversifying across scarce assets like equities, real estate, precious metals, and select commodities, while being cautious of overvalued investments. Demographic challenges play a crucial role in Alden’s analysis. She challenges the notion that aging populations are inherently deflationary, arguing that extensive entitlement systems and continued consumption by older populations can actually drive inflationary pressures. This perspective suggests a more complex economic landscape than traditional models predict. Regarding potential investment opportunities, Alden highlights regions like Japan, Latin America, and parts of Southeast Asia as potentially attractive. She’s particularly bullish on assets that are currently undervalued and have long-term potential, such as regional banks, Bitcoin, energy infrastructure, and select international markets. Ultimately, Alden views the current economic environment as part of a broader “fourth turning” cycle, characterized by increasing political volatility and structural economic challenges. She anticipates a gradual process of economic adjustment rather than a sudden, dramatic collapse, advising investors to remain diversified and adaptable.

You don't need to budget to get ahead financially, you just need to change the way you think about money.   In this episode of the Registered Investment Advisor Podcast, Seth Greene interviews Lisa Chastain, Money Coach, Mentor, and Unshakeable Optimist, who shares her journey from a single mom struggling in a tough spot to building a six-figure business in just 10 months. Lisa talks about how emotions drive money decisions and why addressing your unconscious beliefs around money is crucial for success. She explains why traditional budgeting doesn't work, offering a transformative approach to managing finances that starts with shifting your mindset, not restricting your spending.   Key Takeaways: → How addressing emotional beliefs about money is the first step to financial success. → Why financial habits are often rooted in childhood experiences. → How it's important to uncover how early memories around money shape your decisions today. → How high net-worth individuals create and manage cash flow to allow for more freedom. → Why traditional budgeting restricts people and doesn't lead to long-term wealth.   Lisa Chastain is a Personal Finance Coach with over 20 years of experience offering independent financial advice to executives, professionals, and business owners. She has been featured in Cosmopolitan, CNBC, NBC News, MSN Money, O – The Oprah Magazine, Fortune, Forbes, Business Insider, Business Newsweek, and Entrepreneur Magazine, and is one of Las Vegas Women Magazine's people to watch. A best-selling author, Lisa is also the host of the Real Money radio show on VoiceAmerica, the second-largest online radio broadcaster in the nation, with over 3 million listeners. After burning through $100,000 and nearly going completely broke, Lisa was forced to reinvent herself. Her aspiration wasn't to own a mansion or drive a Ferrari; she wanted simple things, like so many of the women she now works with, such as savings, retirement funds, and a secure future for her family. Put plainly, she didn't want to have to stress about money any longer. In 2016, Lisa applied what she had learned and launched her business as a money coach, with a mission to help women manage their finances effectively without a budget, enabling them to live their best lives. She has now helped countless clients learn how to track their expenses without budgets, invest wisely, and make informed financial decisions, enabling them to escape the financial rollercoaster and achieve long-term stability.   Connect With Lisa:   Website: https://lisachastain.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/savvymoneywithlisa/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/savvymoneywithlisa LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lisachastain/ Learn more about your ad choices.

Justin Bieber BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Justin Bieber's been making headlines this week less for music and more for his fashion venture and a viral rant about iPhones. According to AOL and Business Insider, Bieber took to social media Friday to vent about Apple's iPhone dictation button, calling it “annoying” and joking he'd “find everyone at Apple and put them in a rear naked choke hold” if it keeps interrupting his music. His post drew thousands of likes and even an invite to OpenAI's design critiques from their head of design, Ian Silber.On the business side, Bieber's co‑founded fashion label SKYLRK, launched with Neima Khaila of Pink Dolphin and supported by his wife Hailey Bieber, just dropped its first 3D‑printed sneaker, the Earth Bender. 3D Printing Industry reports the Earth Bender is a fully 3D‑printed performance sneaker developed in collaboration with a specialist footwear tech partner, and Bieber heavily promoted it across his platforms.Musically, there's been no new music or tour announcement, but there was a live appearance. Setlist.fm confirms Bieber performed at the SKYLRK official after‑party at 1 OAK Tokyo in Japan on December 5, 2025, giving fans a rare live set and keeping his stage presence alive with intimate shows.As for a 2026 tour, the news is that there is no news. Rob Shuter's Naughty But Nice newsletter, echoed by Reality Tea, PopCrush, and Z93.9 WLQZ, reports that all conversations around a Justin Bieber 2026 world tour have gone “radio silent” and “stopped cold.” Insiders say Bieber is taking his time, being careful about commitments, and wants control over when and how he returns to big stages. While he's still set to headline Coachella 2026, a full‑scale tour after that is not currently in active planning.So right now, Bieber's focus seems to be on SKYLRK, his health, and selective appearances, not a global tour. For fans, it's still very much “Bieber time.”Thanks for tuning in. Come back next week for more.

Mike Baer is an award-winning business professor at Arizona State University, where he researches trust, justice, and impression management. Mike has published his research in top academic journals, including the Academy of Management Journal, Journal of Applied Psychology, and Personnel Psychology, and Mike is currently the Editor-in-Chief at one of the field's top journals—Organizational Behavior and Human Decision Processes.  Mike's research has been covered by media outlets such as Harvard Business Review, Financial Times, PBS, NPR, Business Insider, Men's Health, and New York Magazine among others. Prior to joining academia, Mike worked in the construction industry, at Hewlett Packard's Executive Leadership Development group, and in publishing and online education. He earned his undergraduate and graduate degrees from BYU, and his PHD from the University of Georgia. In this episode we discuss the following: Trust is both a gift and a burden. When we trust others, we can increase their pride and opportunities but can also overload them with responsibilities and pressure. Leaders routinely overload their most trusted people without taking anything off their plates, while under-investing in newer employees who could grow with smaller tasks. Trust shapes how we interpret behavior: trusted employees get the benefit of the doubt; less-trusted ones receive harsh judgments for the same mistakes, which can make early impressions disproportionately powerful. When people are forming those early impressions and deciding whether to trust us, they are thinking about three things: Are we competent? Do we care about them? Do we have good values? So if we do our job well and help other people without being asked, we will tend to make a good impression. About 25% of employees don't actually want more trust—they want stability, not responsibility.

Some people, most people in fact, never have the conversation with anybody that they’re caring for, their parents, aunt, uncle, whatever. Nobody knows how much money anybody has. Nobody knows what they’re spending their money on. Everybody keeps that information private. But even if you do step into the conversation, like my Mom and I stepped into it a little bit – big picture stuff. Can you afford two houses? No, we’re going to sell one. So you can’t have a summer place anymore kind of thing. When should Dad stop driving? Big picture stuff. But nobody ever gets down to the little stuff that you have to do when you fully take over for somebody. Like when I had to step in and take care of my Mom’s bills, it got down to such nitty gritty like, do you pay your electric bill on an automated schedule? Or how do you pay it otherwise? Do you mail in a check? Like nobody talks about that kind of stuff. But that is absolutely essential when you are a financial caregiver.” On Advocacy “One of the biggest things I did with my Mom and any care setting she was in was try to humanize her for the caregivers. They needed to see her as a person who was functional.  Now, because they all they saw was a little frail old lady who was out of it most of the time, they just assumed she had cognitive decline or dementia and they weren’t trying to get her back to any sort of baseline. And so what I did was primarily showed them like, Oh, isn’t this funny? I saw this video I took two weeks ago on my phone of my Mom playing Scrabble with us. You know my Mom was fine. And then she wasn’t and they just thought that she was always like she was in the hospital. And so to fight for services and fight for what you what you need out of them with an with a person who’s sick and aging is to constantly humanize them so that people in the medical industry want to help them.” On What To Do First “You need to make sure that you have the proper documents to help somebody. We are all legal adults and nobody can help us with certain things unless they have the proper authorization.  That’s a durable power of attorney, a healthcare proxy and some kind of will or trust for after the person dies plus beneficiary designations. You need to secure the person’s phone because so much today is run,  through our phones and if you don’t have the passcode, you’re going to hit a brick wall of no – and the brick wall of no is unmovable. So you need to secure that phone. You need two factor authentication. You need to know what banking apps, and you need to just know what’s in a person’s phone. Those are the two main important things. But the last thing is even more consequential. You need to know what the person wants. Their wishes matter. Having a conversation about what they want and what you’re able to do is absolutely essential both for your mental health, your wellbeing and for how much money you can spend on any particular thing. You just have to know what page everybody’s on.”

300,000 Black women have been pushed out of the workforce. The system labels them "aggressive" when they speak, "not a team player" when they set boundaries, "difficult" when they advocate for themselves. These aren't random incidents; they're the deliberate mechanisms that systematically remove Black women from positions of power and influence. Minda Harts has documented this structural violence across thousands of women's experiences and built a framework to navigate it with clarity. As a bestselling author, workplace consultant, and NYU professor, she created The Seven Trust Languages®, a system that gives women the precise vocabulary to identify where and how they're being strategically undermined at work in real time. She's the author of The Memo: What Women of Color Need to Know to Secure a Seat at the Table, Right Within: How to Heal from Racial Trauma in the Workplace, You Are More Than Magic, and Talk to Me Nice: The Seven Trust Languages for a Better Workplace. Recognized by LinkedIn as the #1 Top Voice for Equity in the Workplace and by Business Insider as one of the 100 People Transforming Business, Minda is the founder of The Memo LLC and Queen of Harts Productions. She works with Fortune 500 companies to rebuild trust and teaches the next generation of leaders at NYU's Wagner School of Public Service.

Hey girl,In this episode, I sit down with the brilliant Jereshia Hawke for a powerful conversation about what it truly means to descale your life. Jereshia, a former engineer turned business coach, opens up about her journey from burnout and self-abandonment to rediscovering her body, pleasure, and peace. We talk about her year-long sabbatical, the childhood patterns that shaped her survival mode, and how somatic work, breathwork, body awareness, stillness, and inner-child healing helped her reconnect with herself more deeply. Ultimately, descaling your life is about coming home to yourself. Jereshia reminds us that peace has a price, boundaries, identity shifts, and sometimes loneliness, but choosing yourself is always worth it.BIO:Jereshia Hawk is a Strategic Advisor and Business Coach, known as the "Millionaire Maker" for her expertise in helping high-earning CEOs scale with intention and precision.

What if planting trees could be not just good for the planet, but also a profitable business? In this episode, I'm talking with Ben Dell, the founder and CEO of Chestnut Carbon — a company that's raised nearly $400 million, including $250 million of that in 2025, to turn farmland back into thriving native forests across the United States. And he's already forging major carbon removal deals with the likes of Microsoft and Mercedes F1. Ben's journey is a fascinating one: he began his career in oil and gas private equity, helping fossil-fuel companies optimize their operations. But during the pandemic, he had what you might call a carbon epiphany. Seeing how few trustworthy carbon-removal projects existed, he decided to create his own — one that would make measurable, verifiable, and permanent carbon storage not just possible, but investable. In our conversation, Ben explains why carbon is a commodity, and how to prove you've really stored it. He talks about how Chestnut buys up marginal cattle-grazed land and restores it into biodiverse forests — with already more than 17 million trees planted. And he goes over why he proudly calls Chestnut "conservation for profit" — a business model that needs no subsidies, just land, good science, and a lot of patience. Ben also talks about the challenges of scaling a nature-based startup, the importance of grit over glamour, and why he believes restoring forests can be one of America's most investable climate solutions. So if you've ever wondered how capitalism might actually reverse deforestation — not cause it — this episode will give you a hopeful, grounded look at what that future could look like. Discussed in this episode Ben is a managing partner at Kimmeridge. Business Insider profile and a Wall Street Journal profile on Ben's work. Our past episode with author Mike Grunwald.

Jared is broadcasting from the porch of his new Delray Beach apartment for Pop Culture Thursday, thanks to a WiFi disaster he'll fully unravel on Coffee with JTrain. He kicks things off with a Business Insider piece about billionaire Bill Ackman giving the world's most awkward dating advice, and dives into why “May I meet you?” sounds more like something an alien would say in a human disguise. Jared then riffs on Zac Efron strategically showing up for his brother on Dancing with the Stars, Kim Kardashian's finger-piercing controversy, and Zach Bryan's dramatic “earth-shattering” mental health headline that turns out to be far more sincere than the title suggests. Finally, he breaks down Minka Kelly shutting down Jenna Bush Hager live on air and shares his own memories of feeling quietly judged on morning TV. It's headlines, riffs, porch recording energy, and plenty of pop culture chaos.Visit https://prizepicks.onelink.me/LME0/JTRAIN and use code JTRAIN and get $50 in lineups when you play your first $5 lineup!
