TESLA - Sales awful - Stock holdingup - BYD Co. outsold Tesla Inc. in Europe's two largest electric-vehicle markets last year as the Chinese automaker continues its global expansion. - BYD registered more than twice as many new vehicles in December as Tesla did in Germany, and outperformed Tesla in the UK with 51,422 registrations compared to Tesla's 45,513. - BYD delivered 2.26 million EVs in 2025 to Tesla's 1.64 million, and has made strong inroads in the UK where Chinese brands have been attracting consumers with cheaper sticker prices. - NVDA announced it is expanding autonomous driving sector INTERACTIVE BROKERS Check this out and find out more at: http://www.interactivebrokers.com/ Silver and Gold - As we predicted - Gold and silver prices fell Wednesday after exchange operator CME Group again hiked the margins on precious metal futures. - CME Group said in a statement Tuesday that the decision was made “as per the normal review of market volatility to ensure adequate collateral coverage.” - That caused some to sell positions to bring margin requirement in check - - Should be temporary until metals find their margin equilibrium Bitcoin - Starting the year off right - Up 7% in 2026 after a very poor 2025 - Crypto moving as well - Safe haven trade, catch up trade or who-knows-what-the-hell trade? January Effect - The January Effect is a market phenomenon where stock prices—especially small-cap stocks—tend to rise more in January than in other months. - Tax-loss selling in December: Investors often sell losing positions at year-end to offset capital gains for tax purposes. - Reinvestment in January: After the new year, they buy back stocks, creating upward pressure. - Bonus and cash inflows: Year-end bonuses and new investment allocations often hit the market in January. - Small-caps up almost 3% YTD Impressive - Investors fortunate enough to own Berkshire since 1965, when Buffett took over, realized a return of about 6,100,000%, far above the S&P 500's approximately 46,000% return including dividends. - Buffett is now officially retired - said to be one (or the) greatest investors of our time - Buffett, 95, will remain chairman and plans to keep going every day to Berkshire's office in Omaha, Nebraska, about 2 miles (3.2 km) east of his home, and help Abel. - They still have not completely figured out who will run the equity portfolio after Todd Combs left to join JPM Kitchen Cabinet Relief - Steep tariffs on upholstered furniture and kitchen cabinets and vanities have been delayed by the Trump administration. - It's the latest roller coaster of Trump's tariff wars since he returned to office last year. - The administration is also scaling back on a steep tariff proposed on Italian pasta that would have put the rate at 107%. Let's talk Venezuela - The idea that the US is just going to come in an turn everything rosy is dumb - overly simplistic thesis --- Sets up a bad global potential for overthrowing governments - where does it stop - The idea that US companies are going to go in there and drill and US is going to reimburse for costs? --- The country is allied with Russia and China - not US (at this time) - This is reminiscent of when we opened the doors to Cuba - we opened it up and no one benefited. Maybe this time will be different. - BUT Venezuela owns the largest proven oil reserves in the world, holding approximately 303 billion barrels as of the end of 2024, which is nearly 18–19% of global reserves. So, that is something.

The median of this year's price hikes is around 4% - in line with 2025. -Drugmakers also plan to cut the list prices on around nine drugs. That includes a more than 40% cut for Boehringer Ingelheim's diabetes drug Jardiance and three related treatments. Greenland - What are the odds????? (Prediction Markets are on it! https://forecasttrader.interactivebrokers.com/eventtrader/#/market-details?id=791099793%7C20290101%7C0%7C&detail=contract_details) - “Greenland belongs to its people. It is for Denmark and Greenland, and them only, to decide on matters concerning Denmark and Greenland.” In Closing - The "AI NOT LESS PEOPLE WORKING" - Scam - “I would say that we're actually not hiring fewer people,” AMDs Lisa Su told CNBC's Jon Fortt on Tuesday from the CES conference in Las Vegas. “Frankly, we're growing very significantly as a company, so we actually are hiring lots of people, but we're hiring different people.

I said what I said. In this episode, I go off on four creative hot takes I've been sitting on for way too long: why “last meeting theory” feels fake and often excuses a lack of effort in creative relationships, how the diamond paradox is wildly skewed when it comes to creative labor, and what it actually means to be betrayed in an industry that preaches collaboration while moving shady behind the scenes. This is a messy, honest rant about creativity, power, effort, and the myths we're told to accept if we want to “make it.”
In this powerful episode of the Cricket Fixes Podcast, I'm joined by my dear friend and collaborator, Dr. Jennifer Rossi – an allopathically trained ER physician turned longevity and women's health specialist – to introduce our dream program:Zero for Life: The Science-Meets-Soul Method to Alcohol Freedom.We kick things off with the very modern love story of how Jen slid into my DMs, how our dogs became instant besties, and how that one message turned into a life-changing collaboration. From there, Jen shares her journey from the chaos of the emergency room to helping women thrive through perimenopause and menopause, and why she could no longer ignore what alcohol was doing to people's bodies, brains, and lives.Inside this episode, we dive into:How alcohol impacts every major organ system in the bodyThe truth about alcohol as a Class I carcinogen and its links to dementia, gut health, liver damage, hormones, and sleepWhat's really going on with dopamine, GABA, and neurotransmitters when you “just have a glass of wine”Why cravings are not just a willpower issue – they're deeply biologicalMy own story of alcohol abuse, from stealing beer at 13 to drinking 7–8 drinks a day and losing myself completelyThe cultural backlash against women choosing alcohol-free lives (hi, Self Magazine
Are you being sold a lie about how to build your coaching business as a therapist? I'm calling out the BS I've been seeing online lately, especially from therapists who are literally running coaching programs while telling you coaching doesn't work. Yeah, you heard that right!In today's episode, I'm breaking down the real pros and cons of every path you're considering: private practice, group practice, intensives, and coaching. I've done them all, and I'm sharing why I walked away from some and doubled down on others. You'll hear my honest take on why intensives are just a bigger chunk of dollars for a bigger chunk of hours (spoiler: still burnout), what really happened when I had clinicians under me, and why a coaching business (when done right) gave me the freedom to voice memo my team while doing tummy time with my baby.If you're tired of back-to-back sessions draining your energy and capping your income, this episode will give you the clarity you need to decide your next move.Topics covered on Coaching Business Myths:Why therapists with "coach" in their Instagram handles are telling you coaching businesses don't work?Is running a group practice actually freedom, or just managing other people's problems?Why intensives sound amazing on paper but still leave you drained.How you can start a coaching business without fancy funnels, websites, or paid ads.The profit margins in my multi-7 figure business.Resources from this episode:Therapist to Coach Accelerator programEpisode 47: The Step-by-Step Guide to Marketing Funnels for CoachesEpisode 53: Paid Advertising Won't Save Your Broken Funnel - Fix This FirstEnter The Podcast Giveaway for the chance to win one of Carly's digital products: https://thethrivingtherapreneurpodcast.com/reviews ------

Claim your complimentary gift of my exclusive mini weight care guide today!Link: Weight Care Guide — Dr. Francavilla Show (thedrfrancavillashow.com)Have you ever been told that your weight is just a matter of willpower?Or that if you simply “tried harder,” you'd get the results you want? Maybe you've even heard that using medication or surgery is “cheating.” If so, you're far from alone, and it's time to call BS on that idea.If you've ever felt shame or guilt about your weight, know this: it's not your fault. Obesity is a complex, chronic disease shaped by biology, hormones, genetics, and environment, not a personal weakness. While healthy eating and exercise are always important, they are often not enough on their own. That's where medical tools like medications and surgery come in, not as shortcuts but as treatments grounded in evidence.Over the past few weeks, I've had experiences that reminded me why this conversation is still so important. Some were inspiring, like connecting with state leaders working to expand access to obesity care. Others were frustrating: clear signs that weight bias still exists in medicine and media alike.In this episode, I will share three stories that show how weight bias appears in everyday life and why challenging it matters. These examples might make you shake your head, but I hope they also give you the words to push back and remind yourself that your health deserves recognition at every step forward.Catch the full episode to hear all three stories and get practical ways to challenge weight bias in your own life.Article: Questioning the Cause of ObesityPodcast Episode: What Are Obesogens with Dr. YoungloveConnect with me:Instagram: doctorfrancavillaFacebook: Help Your Patients Lose Weight with Dr. FrancavillaWebsite: Dr. Francavilla ShowYoutube: The Doctor Francavilla ShowGLP Strong: glpstrong.com

Allyson with a Y. Ocean with two Ls. And zero chill when it comes to changing the face of cancer care. Dr. Allyson Ocean has been quietly—loudly—at the center of every major cancer breakthrough, nonprofit board, and science-backed gut punch you didn't know you needed to hear. In this episode, she joins me in-studio for a conversation two decades in the making. We talk twin life, genetics, mitochondrial disease, and why she skipped the Doublemint Twins commercial but still ended up as one of the most recognizable forces in oncology. We cover her nonprofit hits, from Michael's Mission to Let's Win Pancreatic Cancer to launching the American Jewish Medical Association—yes, that's a thing now. We get personal about compassion in medicine, burnout, bad food science, and microplastics in your blood. She also drops the kind of wisdom only someone with her résumé and sarcasm can. It's raw. It's real. It's the kind of conversation we should've had 20 years ago—but better late than never.RELATED LINKS:– Dr. Allyson Ocean on LinkedIn– Let's Win Pancreatic Cancer– NovoCure Leadership Page– Michael's Mission– American Jewish Medical Association– The POLG Foundation– Cancer Buddy App (Bone Marrow and Cancer Foundation)– Dr. Ocean at OncLiveFEEDBACK:Like this episode?

Scaling fast can cost a brand what matters most… Your connection to community. So, when a Founder cracks the code to growing both the bottom line & Brand Advocacy globally, learning from them becomes unmissable. In a world of trends, viral moments, and short-term wins, Colette Laxton (Co-Founder @ The Inkey List) is openly calling BS on the pace of the beauty industry. Her mission? To make skincare simple, accessible, and authentic – for everyone. This week on the podcast, Colette sits down with Paul to share how she and her team built a $100M+ skincare brand in just six years without sacrificing their core values. Colette's insights are gold for any brand builders who want to scale while staying true to their brand ethos. (Aka, all of you.) Hit play to discover how to: Build on Transparency, Not Tricks: When The Inkey List launched, ingredient lists were unheard of on beauty websites. Colette set out to empower consumers with straightforward education, not marketing magic. Learn how this no-BS approach created a fiercely loyal community. Turn Shortcuts Into Long-Term Wins: Fast growth can tempt brands to cut corners. Colette reveals what not to do, from outsourcing field teams to chasing fads, and why the real ROI comes from genuine human connections – like chatting with customers over a glass of wine on Instagram Live. Find The Right Advocates, Not Just The Loudest Ones: From gifting to nurturing grassroots Advocacy, Colette shares how The Inkey List has built a global community of creators, retail associates, and superfans. The key? Relentless focus on education and shared values. Educate Everywhere, At All Touchpoints: Whether it's a TikTok, packaging, or a QR code on a store shelf, Colette breaks down how to make every customer interaction a moment of learning; and why that builds enduring Brand Advocacy. This is your sign to stop chasing the next trend. Instead, scale with purpose. Build a community that believes in your brand. Nail the basics, to turn your mission into a movement.

"Calling BS on 'Taking the Family Out of Family Day Care" Welcome back to the Big Hearted Podcast! In this episode, I tackle a common statement circulating within the family day care community: “They're taking the family out of family day care.” I'm here to call BS on that. Together, let's explore why educators have far more autonomy and power over their business than they might think, and how we can reshape the narrative around family day care. In This Episode: Challenging the Narrative: I dive into the reasons why I believe the statement “they're taking the family out of family day care” doesn't hold up. We explore how much control you really have as an FDC educator, even within the frameworks of regulations and service policies. You're in Control: I talk about the autonomy you have in creating your environment, structuring your program, and designing the day to reflect your values and meet the needs of your families. From the colours on your walls to how you run your routines, you're the one in charge. Aligning with the Right Service: It's all about finding a service provider that aligns with your approach and values. I explain why it's important to collaborate with a service that supports your vision and how to manage regulations without compromising on your style. Creative Solutions to Common Challenges: Whether it's meeting regulatory requirements or handling things like excursions and sleep checks, I show how you can work within frameworks but still bring your unique approach to the table. It's about being innovative and flexible in your practice. Balancing Family Life and Wellbeing: I explore how you can find balance between running your family day care business and managing the demands of your personal life. You get to tailor your schedule and approach in a way that supports your wellbeing and honours your family's needs. Key Quotes: “You have the autonomy to make decisions that reflect your values – they aren't taking the family out of family day care.” “It's not about the regulations; it's about how you choose to respond to them. That's where your power lies.” Resources Mentioned: Essential Elements Membership Hub: Join the waitlist for the upcoming Essential Elements membership hub, launching on 14th October. It's packed with masterclasses, resources, and a supportive community to help you navigate family day care with confidence. ABCs to FDC Course: Get a taste of what it's like to work with me through the ABCs to FDC course, also launching on 14th October. Register now for this celebratory course designed to give you insights into running a successful family day care business. Join the Conversation: How do you approach your day in family day care? Do you feel you have autonomy over your business? Share your thoughts and join the discussion on our socials.

But as Andrew brilliantly points out, it's not about how many hours we fill; it's about the impact of what we do in those hours. That's a game-changer in the way we approach our work and life."Main Discussion:1. The Myth of Busy: - Mellen begins by challenging the common notion that being busy equates to being productive. He articulates how this misconception leads to a counterproductive cycle of stress and inefficiency. - Phil resonates with this, discussing how in the sales and consultancy field, the 'busy badge' is often mistakenly worn as a mark of success.2.

He discusses the challenges he faced in communicating with others, particularly in unfamiliar situations. - He highlights how introverts can effectively manage their energy and engage in meaningful interactions without feeling overwhelmed.3.

Implementing Mellen's Advice: - Mellen offers actionable steps from his book that listeners can implement to call out their own 'busy b******t'. - Phil reflects on these strategies, discussing how they can be integrated into daily routines for better personal and professional outcomes.Conclusion:The episode wraps up with Mellen providing a succinct summary of the key takeaways from his book and the discussion.

From directing actors on stage to directing people in their lives, Andrew Mellen just might be … although his client roster—which includes American Express, the New York Mets, the Metropolitan Museum of Arts, and Goldman Sachs—suggests he's hardly a secret at all. Speaking on such well-known stages as TEDx and SXSW, being named the Wall Street Journal and Audible best-selling author of Unstuff Your Life!, The Most Organized Man in America's Guide to Moving, and Calling Bullsh*t on Busy, Andrew attributes his wild success to his straightforward (read: no-B.S.) and fun approach. “Getting and staying organized is actually pretty simple—it's just not always easy because of the stories we tell ourselves. The good news is that with me, there are no metaphors to decode or breadcrumb trails you've got to follow or figure out to understand what I'm talking about. By changing the way you think about, feel about, and interact with stuff, you're going to change your mindset and then your behavior. And once you do that, everything else immediately transforms, too. You'll release clutter, gain back lost time, and say goodbye to every form of materialistic drama for good. Guaranteed.” For a taste of what working with him feels like, sign up for his De-Stress Your Mess Challenge, a 5-day challenge designed to address your mindset AND the biggest clutter hotspots most people struggle with. Those include papers and filing, clothes and closets, kitchens and pantries, sentimental objects, mental health, ADHD and other neurodivergencies, hoarding tendencies and all the subtle and not-so-subtle ways we all undermine our best efforts to change our lives for the better. And to make attending the Challenge even more compelling, the grand prize for participating in the De-Stress Your Mess Challenge is an all-expenses-paid trip by Andrew to your location, anywhere in the USA, for one free full day of onsite work.

We're not gonna sugarcoat it - this week, we're mad. We're mad that every episode, there's a new mass shooting to discuss, like some horrible version of Groundhog Day. We're mad that politicians, even Democratic ones, don't seem to be taking any action to fix it. We're mad that a few extremist parents have been controlling the narrative and taking away books, lessons, and conversations from mainstream moms… like the ones who host this podcast! So Red Wine & Blue is calling BS and launching a new initiative called “The Freedom to Parent 21st Century Kids.” We're joined by our very own Katie Paris, the founder of Red Wine & Blue, to tell us more about this Freedom to Parent program. It's going to involve fun events, opportunities to talk to other moms and ask questions, a Banned Bookmobile, and so much more. We can't wait for politicians to address these issues around “parents' rights”; as usual, it's up to moms themselves to advocate for their kids. As Katie says, the real world isn't gonna stop being real; it's just a matter of whether our kids are ready to thrive in it.After that, Jasmine chats with Chasten Buttigieg, our second-ever guest on the podcast! Chasten and Jasmine catch up about how they've been for the past two years, how much Chasten loves being a parent, and the new version of his memoir that he just released for young adult readers called “I Have Something To Tell You.” There are lots of ways to support LGBTQ kids in your community, like starting your own PFLAG chapter or just buying them a copy of Chasten's book! You can pre-order his book or buy a ticket for his in-person book tour at ChastenWrites.com.Finally, Amanda, Rachel and Jasmine raise a glass to the end of the semester, the future mayor of Akron Shammas Malik, and of course to women getting together to make change in this episode's “Toast to Joy.”This was the last regular episode before our 100th episode live event! If you haven't bought your tickets yet, you only have a few more days. The event will be happening on Monday May 15th and you can find tickets here. We also have a brand-new “I'm Part of The Suburban Women Problem” t-shirt for purchase! You can rep your love for the pod here. Thanks so much for joining us and we can't wait to celebrate 100 episodes with you.For a transcript of this episode, please email theswppod@redwine.blue.

Last March, the heat really got turned up on “98 Degrees” boy-bander Nick Lachey after he got in a pap-scrap with a photographer from TMZ. The “Love is Blind” host didn't appreciate being snapped while out with wife Vanessa Lachey, and he approached the paparazzo to make his feelings known. Things escalated from there, and charges were eventually filed against the singer. And now, almost a year later, the verdict is in…and it's time for Nick to face the music.Listen ad free with Wondery+. Join Wondery+ for exclusives, binges, early access, and ad free listening.
