In this comprehensive training session from the symposium, Tony Gonzalez, Training Director at Fieldpiece, delivers an engaging and practical guide to combustion analysis for HVAC technicians. With 25 years of experience at Fieldpiece—from warehouse worker to training director—Tony brings both technical expertise and real-world application to this 50-minute interactive session focused on the company's CAT 85 combustion analyzer. Tony emphasizes that combustion analysis serves four critical purposes: safety, efficiency, equipment specification verification, and liability protection. He makes a compelling business case for investing in combustion analyzers, noting that preventing just two callbacks or one liability lawsuit can pay for the equipment ten times over. The training walks attendees through the complete process, from properly warming up the analyzer in fresh air (allowing sensors to calibrate to ambient oxygen and zero carbon monoxide) to generating professional PDF reports that can be shared with customers or integrated into work order management systems like ServiceTitan. The session provides detailed guidance on interpreting key measurements, including stack temperature, oxygen percentage, carbon monoxide levels, and draft pressure. Using design parameters from the National Comfort Institute, Tony demonstrates how to diagnose issues by comparing actual readings against acceptable ranges for different furnace types (atmospheric, 80% induced fan, and 90+ percent condensing). He walks through practical troubleshooting scenarios, showing how measurements like high oxygen combined with low stack temperature can point to specific problems like low gas pressure that technicians can then verify and correct. Throughout the presentation, Tony emphasizes proper technique and best practices, from creating test ports at least 12 inches above the inducer fan to the importance of plugging test ports after completion. He also highlights innovative features of Fieldpiece's analyzers, including the hydro cycle pump that eliminates traditional water traps, sensor vault technology that extends sensor life to four years, and built-in wireless connectivity allowing technicians to view measurements on their mobile devices through the Job Link app. Topics Covered: Why perform combustion analysis: Safety verification, efficiency optimization, OEM specification compliance, and liability protection Business benefits: Reducing callbacks, improving OEM relationships, enhancing professional image, and protecting against lawsuits Proper startup procedure: Warming up analyzers in fresh air for accurate oxygen and CO sensor calibration Ambient CO testing: Using combustion analyzers vs. dedicated walk-around detectors for carbon monoxide detection in living spaces Test port installation: Proper placement at least 12 inches above inducer fans and away from 90-degree elbows Key measurements explained: Stack temperature, oxygen percentage, CO PPM, CO air-free, draft pressure, and efficiency calculations Equipment type selection: Choosing correct settings for atmospheric, 80% induced fan, or 90+ percent condensing furnaces Diagnostic interpretation: Using National Comfort Institute parameters to identify issues like excess combustion air or low gas pressure Advanced features: Built-in dual port manometer for gas and static pressure, wireless Job Link app connectivity, and hydro cycle pump technology Report generation: Creating professional PDF reports with company branding for customer documentation and CYA protection Maintenance tips: Checking particle filters, understanding sensor vault technology, and the importance of annual calibration Sensor longevity: Four-year sensor life warranty and field-replaceable sensors without sending equipment for service   Have a question that you want us to answer on the podcast?

Original Release Date: November 17, 2025In the first of a two-part episode presenting our 2026 outlooks, Chief Global Cross-Asset Strategist Serena Tang has Chief Global Economist Seth Carpenter explain his thoughts on how economies around the world are expected to perform and how central banks may respond.Read more insights from Morgan Stanley.----- Transcript -----Serena Tang: Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Serena Tang, Morgan Stanley's Chief Global Cross-Asset Strategist. Seth Carpenter: And I'm Seth Carpenter, Morgan Stanley's Global Chief Economist. Serena Tang: Today, we'll focus on [the] all-important macroeconomic backdrop. Serena Tang: It's Monday, November 17th at 10am in New York. So, Seth, 2025 has been a year of transition. Global growth slowed under the weight of tariffs and policy uncertainty. Yet resilience in consumer spending and AI driven investments kept recession fears at bay. Your team has published its economic outlook for 2026. So, what's your view on global growth for the year ahead? Seth Carpenter: We really think next year is going to be the global economy slowing down a little bit more just like it did this year, settling into a slower growth rate. But at the same time, we think inflation is going to keep drifting down in most of the world. Now that anodyne view, though, masks some heterogeneity around the world; and importantly, some real uncertainty about different ways things could possibly go. Here in the U.S., we think there is more slowing to come in the near term, especially the fourth quarter of this year and the beginning of next year. But once the economy works its way through the tariffs, maybe some of the lagged effects of monetary policy, we'll start to see things pick up a bit in the second half of the year. China's a different story. We see the really tepid growth there pushed down by the deflationary spiral they've been in. We think that continues for next year, and so they're probably not quite going to get to their 5 percent growth target. And in Europe, there's this push and pull of fiscal policy across the continent. There's a central bank that thinks they've achieved their job in terms of inflation, but overall, we think growth there is, kind of, unremarkable, a little bit over 1 percent. Not bad, but nothing to write home about at all. So that's where we think things are going in general. But I have to say next year, may well be a year for surprises. Serena Tang: Right. So where do you see the biggest drivers of global growth in 2026, and what are some of the key downside risks? Seth Carpenter: That's a great question. I really do think that the U.S. is going to be a real key driver of the story here. And in fact – and maybe we'll talk about this later – if we're wrong, there's some upside scenarios, there's some downside scenarios. But most of them around the world are going to come from the U.S. Two things are going on right now in the U.S. We've had strong spending data. We've also had very, very weak employment data. That usually doesn't last for very long. And so that's why we think in the near term there's some slowdown in the U.S. and then over time things recover. We could be wrong in either direction. And so, if we're wrong and the labor market sending the real signal, then the downside risk to the U.S. economy – and by extension the global economy – really is a recession in the U.S. Now, given the starting point, given how low unemployment is, given the spending businesses are doing for AI, if we did get that recession, it would be mild. On the other hand, like I said, spending is strong. Business spending, especially CapEx for AI; household spending, especially at the top end of the income distribution where wealth is rising from stocks, where the liability side of the balance sheet is insulated with fixed rate mortgages. That spending could just stay strong, and we might see this upside surprise where the spending really dominates the scene. And again, that would spill over for the rest of the world. What I don't see is a lot of reason to suspect that you're going to get a big breakout next year to the upside or the downside from either Europe or China, relative to our baseline scenarios. It could happen, but I really think most of the story is going to be driven in the U.S. Serena Tang: So, Seth, markets have been focused on the Fed, as it should. What is the likely path in 2026 and how are you thinking about central bank policy in general in other regions? Seth Carpenter: Absolutely. The Fed is always of central importance to most people in markets. Our view – and the market's view, I have to say, has been evolving here. Our view is that the Fed's actually got a few more rate cuts to get through, and that by the time we get to the middle of next year, the middle of 2026, they're going to have their policy rate down just a little bit above 3 percent. So roughly where the committee thinks neutral is. Why do we think that? I think the slowing in the labor market that we talked about before, we think there's something kind of durable there. And now that the government shutdown has ended and we're going to start to get regular data prints again, we think the data are going to show that job creation has been below 50,000 per month on average, and maybe even a few of them are going to get to be negative over the next several months. In that situation, we think the Fed's going to get more inclination to guard against further deterioration in the labor market by keeping cutting rates and making sure that the central bank is not putting any restraint on the economy. That's similar, I would say, to a lot of other developed markets' central banks. But the tension for the ECB, for example, is that President Lagarde has said she thinks; she thinks the disinflationary process is over. She thinks sitting at 2 percent for the policy rate, which the ECB thinks of as neutral, then that's the right place for them to be. Our take though is that the data are going to push them in a different direction. We think there is clearly growth in Europe, but we think it's tepid. And as a result, the disinflationary process has really still got some more room to run and that inflation will undershoot their 2 percent target, and as a result, the ECB is probably going to cut again. And in our view, down to about 1.5 percent. Big difference is in Japan. Japan is the developed market central bank that's hiking. Now, when does that happen? Our best guess is next month in December at the policy meeting. We've seen this shift towards reflation. It hasn't been smooth, hasn't been perfectly linear. But the BoJ looks like they're set to raise rates again in December. But the path for inflation is going to be a bit rocky, and so, they're probably on hold for most of 2026. But we do think eventually, maybe not till 2027, they get back to hiking again – so that Governor Ueda can get the policy rate back close to neutral before he steps down. Serena Tang: So, one of the main investor debates is on AI. Whether it's CapEx, productivity, the future of work. How is that factoring into your team's view on growth and inflation for the next year? Seth Carpenter: Yeah, I mean that is absolutely a key question that we get all the time from investors around the world. When I think about AI and how it's affecting the economy, I think about the demand side of the economy, and that's where you think about this CapEx spending – building data centers, buying semiconductors, that sort of thing. That's demand in the economy. It's using up current resources in the economy, and it's got to be somewhat inflationary. It's part of what has kept the U.S. economy buoyant and resilient this year – is that CapEx spending. Now you also mentioned productivity, and for me, that's on the supply side of the economy. That's after the technology is in place. After firms have started to adopt the technology, they're able to produce either the same amount with fewer workers, or they're able to produce more with the same amount of workers. Either way, that's what productivity means, and it's on the supply side. It can mean faster growth and less inflation. I think where we are for 2026, and it's important that we focus it on the near term, is the demand side is much more important than the supply side. So, we think growth continues. It's supported by this business investment spending. But we still think inflation ends 2026, notably above the Fed's inflation target. And it's going to make five, five and a half years that we've been above target. Productivity should kick in. And we've written down something close to a quarter percentage point of extra productivity growth for 2026, but not enough to really be super disinflationary. We think that builds over time, probably takes a couple of years. And for example, if we think about some of the announcements about these data centers that are being built, where they're really going to unleash the potential of AI, those aren't going to be completed for a couple of years anyway. So, I think for now, AI is dominating the demand side of the economy. Over the next few years, it's going to be a real boost to the supply side of the economy. Serena Tang: So that makes a lot of sense to me, Seth. But can you put those into numbers? Seth Carpenter: Sure, Serena totally. In numbers, that's about 3 percent growth. A little bit more than that for global GDP growth on like a Q4-over-Q4 basis. But for the U.S. in particular, we've got about 1.75 percent. So that's not appreciably different from what we're looking for this year in 2025. But the number really, kind of, masks the evolution over time. We think the front part of the year is going to be much weaker. And only once we get into the second half of next year will things start to pick up. That said, compared to where we were when we did the midyear outlook, it's actually a notable upgrade. We've taken real signal from the fact that business spending, household spending have both been stronger than we think. And we've tried to add in just a little bit more in terms of productivity growth from AI. Layer on top of that, the Fed who's been clearly willing to start to ease interest rates sooner than we thought at the time of the mid-year outlook – all comes together for a little bit better outlook for growth for 2026 in the U.S. Serena Tang: Seth thanks so much for taking the time to talk. Seth Carpenter: Serena, it is always my pleasure to get to talk to you. Serena Tang: And thanks for listening. Please be sure to tune into the second half of our conversation tomorrow to hear how we're thinking about investment strategy in the year ahead.

On this week's episode of  The Business of Watches, we sit down with Ilaria Resta, the Chief Executive Officer of Audemars Piguet.  Among the strategically important years in the brand's 150-year history, 2025 may rank among the most significant. Not only did it mark a century-and-a-half anniversary, it demanded a strong and determined leader to navigate through a mille feuille of challenges. Amid U.S. tariffs, record prices for gold, an extremely strong Swiss franc, and an overall downturn in market demand, Resta and her team from Le Brassus grew sales by double-digits, up 12%, as of the end of October compared to the year before, according to the brand. That's more than CHF 2.3 billion in sales, according to analyst estimates. That's no small achievement considering the extraordinary headwinds facing the industry. Overall, Swiss watch exports are set to decline for the second year in a row in 2025. Under Resta's leadership, AP is bucking the trend and then some. In this episode, we talk about the notable product releases from AP this year, including its innovative perpetual calendar and the highly wearable, groundbreaking RD#5; how she intends to manage production; the evolution of the brand; and possible changes to model lines. A long-time senior executive in the consumer goods industry, Resta discusses what makes the watch industry unique and what it needs to do to appeal to the next generation of clients.Show Notes3:50 Audemars Piguet at Dubai Watch Week5:27 AP Perpetual Calendars in 38mm 7:50 Book round-up featuring Audemars Piguet The Watch 9:10 Swiss Watch Exports11:52 Royal Oak Offshore 15:30 Audemars Piguet says CEO Staying (BoF) 17:33 AP Certified Pre-Owned 19:30 Dubai Watch Week CEO Roundtable 22:25 A Plea For Proportionality (Hodinkee)

What do you do when doing the right thing gets you fired?That's the question at the center of this conversation with Keith Leverentz. Keith started his career as a high school science teacher before being recruited into a captive financial firm. He quickly became the number one producer in the organization—but he was doing something most advisors weren't. He was putting clients first, even when it meant recommending solutions that were less profitable for the company.In 2012, that decision cost him everything. He lost his business, his clients, his niche, and spent a season wondering if he'd ever get back on his feet.Keith didn't just bounce back. He rebuilt—this time with intention. Today, he leads a 25-person firm that's on pace for more than $65M in new assets this year. He's done it by building a real team, integrating his entire family into the business, and putting purpose, generosity, and client outcomes at the center of everything.If you're a founder who's been knocked down—or you're carrying a weight that feels heavier than it should—Keith's story is a powerful reminder of what's possible on the other side.3 of the biggest insights from Keith Leverentz…#1.)

Keith explains the ethical dilemma that forced him out, the fear and isolation that followed, and how starting over with nothing eventually led to building a 25-person firm. If you've ever felt tension between growth and integrity, this part will hit close to home.#2.) Why Most Advisors Feel Overwhelmed (And How to Fix It)Keith explains why hiring an Executive Assistant dropped his stress by 40% — and why this role is one of the most overlooked leverage points in advisory firms. He also breaks down a hard truth about his own business: the org chart was “a mile wide and an inch deep.” This section is a masterclass on why founders become bottlenecks, how poor structure slows growth, and what it actually takes to scale beyond yourself.#3.) Why Undercharging Holds Advisors BackKeith shares how he realized he was undercharging — and why raising fees actually improved client outcomes instead of hurting relationships. You'll hear how expanding planning capabilities, trusting a bigger team, and clearly communicating value allowed him to move up-market with confidence. If you're worried about fee pressure, higher-net-worth clients, or whether you're “ready” for the next level, this section reframes the entire conversation.SHOW NOTEShttps://bradleyjohnson.com/148FOLLOW BRAD JOHNSON ON SOCIALTwitterInstagramLinkedInFOLLOW DBDL ON SOCIAL:YouTubeTwitterInstagramLinkedInFacebookDISCLOSURE DBDL podcast episode conversations are intended to provide financial advisors with ideas, strategies, concepts and tools that could be incorporated into their business and their life.

Most people plan their lives in one-year increments. They set New Year's resolutions in January and forget them by February.But to build a lasting business and a successful life, you must think bigger. You need to plan by the decade. This approach lets you focus on reviewing priorities throughout the year.The twenties should be a time of extreme effort. People start this decade in stepping-stone jobs. These roles are essential for learning basic skills, but they usually lack time freedom and a sense of purpose.In this Diamond Life Mentor Uncut episode, Balazs W Kardos is back with another Accelerator call to recall what it's like to build a legacy as he designed his life by the decade.You will hear powerful insights and motivation around:Life from door-to-door sales to becoming a legacy at age 30Building a strong foundation in businessMaking resolutions more effective in the futureReflecting on yearly prioritiesBecoming consistent in reaching goalsBalazs shares a timeline in his life where he transitioned into business. At around age 27, he started taking it seriously, and by the age of 30, he became a psychopathic business builder. It means working all day, every day, without making excuses. During this phase, the answer to every meeting was yes, regardless of how tired he felt. This level of intensity is what made his financial independence possible to date.Once you reach your thirties, the goal changes from personal growth to building a foundation. If you worked hard in your twenties, your thirties are for stabilizing the areas of your life, whether you are getting married, buying a home, or starting a family.By the time you reach age 40, your goal should be to have all these areas secured. This stability ensures that you can handle the responsibilities and challenges that come in later years."At 30, I made a declaration, and it was all about building the foundation. I got married. I wanted to create a foundation for my home. Bought my first dream home. I wanted to establish my children and my family. My legacy. Had both of my kids, which has been amazing. So it has been a very foundational decade where certain things in my life I wanted to make sure were a good foundation." - Balazs W KardosAre you building a business or just a bank account?

Are you making decisions based on your standards, or are you unconsciously following the crowd?In this episode, Kevin and Alan examine how trend-driven behavior quietly undermines self-improvement, personal development, and long-term consistency. Using real coaching experience and patterns observed across thousands of conversations, they explain why decision-making rooted in external validation weakens self-trust and identity. This conversation breaks down the psychological cost of bandwagon thinking, the difference between perception and reality, and why accuracy matters more than certainty when building a disciplined life.If you care about sustainable success, clear thinking, and becoming someone who follows principles instead of popularity, this episode will recalibrate how you approach decisions, habits, and personal growth.Learn more about:Join our Next Level University Monthly Masterclass, "How to Set and Achieve Your Most Important Goals in 2026."

Send us a textThank you, Sabina Nawaz, for helping me find today's guest to finish up Season 6 on the Quarterback DadCast!So, what if the best leadership training happens at your dinner table? We sit down with Dane Groeneveld—dad of four, CEO of LEAD3R, and host of The Future of Teamwork—to explore how raising kids, facing anxiety head‑on, and choosing curiosity over control can transform both families and companies. From eight schools across Australian mining towns to a newborn and teens under one roof, Dane shares the practices that keep his home grounded and his teams energized.We dig into the messy middle: choosing therapy when a high‑achieving teen hits an anxious wall, stepping away from rugby to protect mental health, and having brave conversations about consent and sex without panic or shame. You'll hear why the “car ride home” is the most dangerous coaching moment, how IFS “parts” language reduces shame and opens learning, and why stoic patience beats heat‑of‑the‑moment reactions. Expect tangible tools: the “I love watching you play” reset, TED questions that unlock specifics, and permission‑based coaching that turns advice into collaboration.On the work front, Dane goes on offense against the myth of high performance at all costs. He lays out a model for healthy teams that still deliver results but no longer leave human wreckage behind. The three values guiding both his home and company—be human‑centered, be pioneering, and share in success—show up in simple, repeatable moves: assume positive intent, learn by building, and spread the win. We also trade stories about body language meltdowns on the golf course, 2 a.m. puppy chaos, and the quiet power of leaders who remove fear and instill confidence.If you're a parent, coach, or manager who wants stronger relationships and better outcomes without the burnout, this conversation is your playbook. Listen, share with a friend who needs a reframe on performance and parenting, and leave a quick review so more dads and leaders can find the show.Support the showPlease don't forget to leave us a review wherever you consume your podcasts! Please help us get more dads to listen weekly and become the ultimate leader of their homes!

Paulina also explains how a virtual compliance model can unlock real profits, why standard operating procedures (SOPs) are key to safe scaling, and how private equity firms view compliance during acquisitions.If you're growing a practice or planning an exit, this episode is a must-listen.

In this encore episode of Rapid Response, we revisit a scientific breakthrough that set the internet ablaze: The ‘de-extinction' of the dire wolf. While many celebrated Colossal Biosciences' announcement, the experiment also sparked controversy throughout the scientific community — namely the ethics of birthing and re-wilding extinct animals, and whether Colossal's dire wolf puppies are the real thing. Colossal's co-founder and CEO Ben Lamm joined host Bob Safian to take us inside the dire wolf journey, revealing how the startup attracted a roster of celebrity investors, and what the company's technology means for not only conservation and biodiversity, but potentially the future of human health.

Their conversation explores Melanie's unconventional career path, which began in the finance industry before she took the extraordinary leap into professional skydiving, amassing over twelve thousand jumps, and then eventually public speaking.Melanie opens up about the challenges she faced along the way, including imposter syndrome, persistent anxiety, and the internal doubts that can hold back even the most driven professionals. She reflects on why each stage of her journey was essential and shares the turning points that nudged her toward treating public speaking as a serious business, rather than a side endeavor.Throughout their discussion, you'll hear advice on finding your target audience, building meaningful connections in both women-centric organizations and male-dominated industries, and leveraging storytelling to transform your message.

Jayson Edwards is the founder of J-Dawgs, one of Utah's most iconic food brands. He started it as a BYU student with $600 from pawning his guitar to his dad, running a tiny shack near campus that somehow turned hot dogs into a full-blown movement. In this conversation, Jayson breaks down what actually made J-Dawgs explode early, the painful lessons that come with scaling a food business, and why focus, quality, and community matter more than hype. In this episode, we talk about:Starting J-Dawgs with $600 and no clue what he was doingHow the “shack” created crazy demand before social mediaWhy he stayed narrow instead of expanding into everythingSupply chain chaos, owning the IP, and protecting qualityWhat COVID was really like as a food business ownerHiring, culture, and the weight of 300+ employeesTemptation to sell, and how to make decisions without emotionContentment, family, and not chasing “happier than happy”Follow Jayson / J-Dawgs:Instagram: @jdawgs

He shares what worked, what didn't, and the mistakes he would avoid if he were starting over today.The conversation then dives deep into team building, operational systems, cash flow discipline, and why in-house management isn't a shortcut but a long-term strategic decision that requires patience, capital, and leadership.

Laith Palhawan, CEO and founder of OrangeCrew, has successfully transitioned his managed IT services company into the public sector by becoming GSA certified, allowing him to provide IT services to government agencies. This shift has required a deep understanding of compliance and security requirements that differ significantly from those in the private sector. In the public sector, clients expect adherence to strict standards and predefined solutions, which contrasts with the more flexible and responsive approach typically found in private business engagements.Pahlawan's experience highlights the challenges of profitability in the managed services landscape, particularly when working with government contracts that often yield lower margins of 10-15%. He emphasizes the importance of strategic partnerships and effective business analysis to maintain sustainable margins. By utilizing tools like Power BI and Kaseya, OrangeCrew can track time and resources spent on each client, allowing for informed decisions about which clients to prioritize and which to decline based on profitability and demand.The episode also delves into OrangeCrew's innovative use of artificial intelligence (AI) to enhance internal operations and client services. Pahlawan has developed a centralized database that integrates various data sources, enabling the use of AI to analyze client interactions and identify potential issues proactively. This system not only improves operational efficiency but also positions OrangeCrew as a forward-thinking MSP capable of offering advanced solutions to clients, particularly in the realm of AI.For MSPs and IT service leaders, the insights shared by Pahlawan underscore the necessity of adapting to evolving client needs, particularly regarding compliance and AI integration. As businesses increasingly rely on AI for operational efficiency, MSPs must enhance their understanding of data management and automation to remain competitive. The conversation serves as a reminder that embracing new technologies and strategic partnerships can lead to sustainable growth and improved service delivery in a challenging market.

Equity crowdfunding and angel investing have changed how capital is raised - but many founders and investors still misunderstand valuation, risk, and what it really takes to build long-term wealth. In this episode of Behind The Numbers With Dave Bookbinder, Dave Bookbinder is joined by Karen Rands, President of Cougar Capital Holdings, host of The Compassionate Capitalist Show, and author of two books on angel and crowdfunding investing. Karen shares her journey from corporate leadership at IBM to building and leading a nationally recognized angel investor group, and why she's dedicated her career to democratizing access to private investing. She explains how the JOBS Act opened the door to equity crowdfunding and why that shift matters for entrepreneurs, investors, and wealth creation beyond public markets. Dave and Karen unpack the differences between traditional venture capital and what Karen calls “compassionate capitalism,” along with the valuation mistakes founders commonly make when raising capital. They explore underutilized valuation metrics, realistic financial planning, and how misaligned expectations can derail otherwise promising capital raises. The conversation also breaks down the four primary types of equity crowdfunding - Reg CF, Reg D, Reg A+, and state exemptions - with practical guidance for both founders seeking capital and everyday investors looking to build diversified private-investment portfolios. Karen shares disciplined portfolio-building strategies and actionable first steps for newcomers interested in angel or crowdfund investing. This episode is a must-listen for business owners, founders, managers, and advisors who want a clearer understanding of valuation, capital formation, and smarter ways to participate in private markets.

Get the WRAP template and see an example hereIt's that time of year – when we start thinking about what went well, what didn't, and what we want to change. Successful people know that before planning the next year (or project, etc) you first need to review what happened in the past year. In this video I share a simple but powerful framework that will help make your reflection more meaningful (and actually useful).Ask yourself 4 simple questions:Wins - what went well and where did I win?Results - what happened with the goals I set?Alignment - am I living in a way that aligns with my values?Pivot or Progress - what do I need to do to make a great plan for next year?You might know WRAP as a weekly review method, but it works just as well for annual review. Here's how to use it to look back on your year and plan for 2026. Thanks for watching!01:27 - What is the WRAP?02:58 - Wins (what went well)08:43 - Results (of my 2025 goals)15:40 - Alignment (with who I want to be)20:36 - Pivot (to more success in 2026)28:26 - What I love about annual reviews

What if the real power in your life isn't what you know, but what you know that everyone else knows you know?Money only works because we all believe everyone else believes in it. Governments stand because we assume everyone else will follow the rules. Even love, status, trust, and cancel culture are driven by invisible social agreements that live in our shared mind.In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Steven Pinker, Harvard psychologist, cognitive scientist, bestselling author, and one of Time's “100 Most Influential People in the World Today,” to decode the science of common knowledge and how it shapes everything from money and power to social media, revolutions, and your daily relationships.We talk about why some ideas go viral and others don't, why cancel culture and public shaming are so effective, why dictators fear free speech, and how misinformation hijacks our “collective brain.” Steven also shares powerful tools from his books Rationality and When Everyone Knows That Everyone Knows to help you think more clearly, protect yourself from cognitive biases, and become a better learner and communicator in a noisy, hyper-connected world.If you've ever wondered why people follow the crowd, why markets boom and crash, why social norms feel so powerful, or how to stay rational when everyone is yelling online, this conversation will help you see the hidden architecture behind human behavior – and use that insight to upgrade your thinking, your learning, and your life./ / / Ready to upgrade your brain? / / /Choose your own adventure.
