In today's episode, Dr. Killeen challenges you to do something most practice owners avoid—a year-end autopsy. Not the morbid kind, but an honest, third-person look at what worked, what fell short, and where your practice might be drifting without you noticing. He walks through the key questions to ask, why stepping back gives you better clarity, and how a simple 30-minute review can set you up for a stronger year ahead. Plus, he shares how communities like DSN can help you see your blind spots and move forward with confidence. A calm, practical episode to help you finish the year with intention.

Send us a textIn this episode, we dive into one of the most underestimated foundations of autoimmune healing and hair recovery: sleep.So many people insist they “function fine” on six hours, a midnight bedtime, or restless nights — but the body tells a very different story. When you finally experience restorative sleep, the kind that calms inflammation, regulates the immune system, stabilises cortisol, and gives hair follicles the safety signals they need to grow, everything begins to shift. Less shedding. Clearer skin. A calmer gut. A more resilient mood and nervous system. More stable energy.Sleep is not passive; it is a biologically active repair state. And it's during deep sleep and early-night slow-wave sleep that the body performs its most profound healing: detoxifying the brain via the glymphatic system, recalibrating immune cells, lowering inflammatory cytokines, and supporting the hair cycle's transition back into growth.In this Friday 5, I break down the five science-backed levers that make the biggest impact on sleep quality for those with autoimmune conditions or alopecia — from nervous-system nutrients like magnesium, L-theanine and phosphatidylserine, to vagal tone practices, to circadian alignment, blue-light protection, and the often-resisted but deeply transformative 10pm repair window, when most cellular, hormonal and follicular repair occurs.This episode is for you if you've been feeling wired-but-tired, waking at 3am, noticing seasonal shedding, or living in a constant state of “pushing through.”By the end, you'll understand not just what improves sleep, but why these strategies work — and how they support full-body repair on a physiological level.BodyBio Calm – magnesium and taurine formula to lower stress and support GABA balance

Microplastics are in most of the water we drink, but what does that mean for our health and wellbeing? In this episode of The Happier Life Project, host Gabby Sanderson sits down with Dr. Sherri “Sam” Mason, one of the world's leading researchers on plastic pollution, to uncover the truth about what's in our tap and bottled water.  Together they explore how microplastics affect our bodies and minds, and the small but powerful steps we can take to protect ourselves and the planet. If you've been noticing conversations around microplastics and wondering what they mean for your health, or if you're simply trying to make more informed, empowered choices; this episode will give you a grounded, hopeful place to start. Dr. Mason's groundbreaking research not only revealed the widespread presence of microplastics in freshwater systems but also helped shape legislation like the Microbeads-Free Water Act. Her work has been featured across major outlets including the BBC, The Guardian, and The New York Times, sparking global awareness about the hidden costs of plastic pollution. In this episode, she explains how science is catching up to the scale of the problem, and why understanding it is the first step toward change. Beyond the science, this conversation is about empowerment. You'll hear how reconnecting and protecting the environment can ease stress, restore a sense of agency, and inspire resilience in the face of overwhelming headlines. Most importantly, you'll walk away with practical, realistic steps to reduce your exposure and consumption of microplastics; proving that small, consistent actions really do add up to a healthier body, a clearer mind, and a happier life.

Singapore stocks fell today, triggered by declining expectations of a Federal Reserve rate cut. This follows a wider regional rout after markets tumbled earlier this week on fears of an artificial intelligence bubble. In terms of counters to watch, we have ComfortDelGro, after the transport operator yesterday announced senior leadership changes, which included the creation of a new “point-to-point mobility officer” role. Elsewhere, from what the latest US labour market data mean for the Federal Reserve, to how Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi’s Cabinet approved the largest round of extra spending since the pandemic, more international headlines remained in focus. Also on deck – comments by Foxconn chairman Liu Young that the company now had the capability to manufacture 1,000 artificial intelligence racks per week. On Market View, Money Matters’ finance presenter Chua Tian Tian unpacked the developments with Benjamin Goh, Head of Research and Investor Education, SIAS.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We are pleased to share an episode from the Clearer Thinking Podcast featuring Open to Debate Founder Robert Rosenkranz in conversation with Spencer Greenberg. About this episode: What makes a forum truly open-minded rather than performative? When does listening change minds instead of just hardening identities? Are we teaching citizens to separate facts from frames? Do the best debates surface values as well as evidence? How can we reward calm argument over outrage economics? What reforms reduce polarization without dulling real disagreement? Should any topic be off-limits in a free society? Is philanthropy giving back—or building what's missing? Should generosity optimize impact or express the values we want to grow? How much risk is acceptable when the upside is transformative? Robert Rosenkranz is a dedicated philanthropist, an advocate for intellectual engagement, and respected commentator on philanthropy. He founded Delphi Capital Management and championed the renowned Open to Debate debate series. Robert's latest book, The Stoic Capitalist, explores the intersection of ancient Stoic wisdom and modern capitalism. When he's not crafting ideas, Robert dedicates his time to supporting the arts, advancing education, and contributing to public policy through The Rosenkranz Foundation.

This week on Autonomy Markets, Grayson Brulte and Walter Piecyk discuss NVIDIA's ever expanding autonomy ambitions and the fracturing relationship between Waymo and Uber, which may signal the end of one of the industry's most-watched partnerships. Jensen Huang's latest GTC announcements further signaled that NVIDIA is moving beyond supplying compute to potentially building their own full autonomy stack and licensing it. Grayson and Walt trace this shift back to the early days NVIDIA's automotive division and the evolution of its Hyperion platform, which is now positioned not only to power OEMs but also to compete directly with the very companies that rely on its GPUs to enable autonomous driving systems.While NVIDIA appears poised to compete with its customers, Waymo and Uber's partnership is showing signs of unraveling after Uber announced plans to deploy Lucid/Nuro autonomous vehicles in San Francisco next year, directly challenging Waymo on in their home market.Grayson likens the move to “divorce court,” raising questions about how the companies will divide the Austin and Atlanta markets, where Waymo currently operates exclusively on Uber's platform. The episode closes with updates on Aurora's strategic pivot and the Foreign Autonomy Desk, covering Baidu's expansion in Hong Kong, Uber's European ambitions, and continued progress in Tesla's FSD rollout.Episode Chapters0:00 NVIDIA's Autonomy Ambitions 7:13 Waymo & Uber's Fracturing Relationship9:35 Nuro's Upcoming Launch on Uber in San Francisco 11:51 Gemini is Coming to Waymo14:05 Boston's Autonomous Vehicle Blunder15:43 Seattle's Challenging Political Environment 17:34 Political Coalitions 19:36 Aurora's Pivot25:32 Tesla Robotaxi / FSD 14 Updates30:04 Foreign Autonomy Desk33:08 Next WeekRecorded on Thursday, October 30, 2025--------About The Road to AutonomyThe Road to Autonomy provides market intelligence and strategic advisory services to institutional investors and companies, delivering insights needed to stay ahead of emerging trends in the autonomy economy™.

Michigan football just keeps taking care of business as its path to the College Football Playoff continues to solidify. Tony and Andrew open the show by discussing Michigan's win over Michigan State and how the Wolverines were able to beat the Spartans while not playing their best. Freshman quarterback Bryce Underwood didn't even crack 100 yards against MSU but the Wolverines still comfortably won. Is that cause for concern long-term? Then the guys discuss how more and more, it's looking like Michigan's entire season is going to come down to the final week of the season when they host Ohio State at the Big House. Tony and Andrew also preview the Purdue game and make predictions for the game before a quick look at the Michigan basketball program who is 1-1 in the exhibition slate. Are the expectations around this Michigan team the highest they've been in a decade? Read all about the Michigan Wolverines by heading to our website at freep.com/sports.

New research from the Karolinska Institutet in Sweden shows that your brain interprets certain aromas as taste, activating the same regions as sugar Retronasal smell — odor molecules rising from your mouth during eating — creates flavor, while orthonasal smell (sniffing) detects outside odors Functional MRI scans revealed that the insula, the brain's taste cortex, responds to sweet-associated aromas like vanilla or strawberry as if sugar were present Everyday experiences, such as food tasting bland during a cold, highlight the difference between taste vs. flavor and the role of retronasal airflow Sweet-linked aromas can help reduce added sugar in foods by enhancing perceived sweetness, though they do not change calorie or glucose content

A Research Council Podcast Roundtable: Michigan's 2025 Budget Breakdown In a first-ever roundtable edition of the #FactsMatter podcast, Guy Gordon recaps recent budget conversations and even more recent updates from the finally passed and long-overdue Michigan budget with the Research Council's Eric Lupher, president; Craig Thiel, research director; Bob Schneider, senior state affairs associate; and research associates Karley Abramson, health policy; and Eric Paul Dennis, infrastructure. First up — roads. Guy chats with Eric Paul Dennis on how nearly $2 billion in new funding should bump Michigan to about 15th in the nation for road spending, but the complicated Act 51 formula still means many local roads won't see major improvements. Transparency at the pump is better — but how those dollars are spent? Still murky. Karley Abramson explained how healthcare saw one of the biggest surprises: the Rx Kids program jumped from a $16 million pilot to $270 million statewide, offering direct cash assistance to new mothers. A rare bipartisan investment in babies and brain development. Craig Thiel explained how schools also got good news — universal free breakfast and lunch continue for all K–12 students, and funding for at-risk kids rose 25%, with hopes of boosting early literacy. Eric Lupher and Bob Schneider took on taxes in the budget, and how lawmakers avoided a $670 million hit by decoupling from the federal “One Big Beautiful Bill Act.” Businesses aren't thrilled, but it keeps the state budget stable. And transparency? Mixed. The state promised more, but much of the final deal was done behind closed doors — without final revenue estimates to guide spending. In short, Michigan's 2025 budget may be remembered for potholes and pot — big fixes on roads and kids, but still a few bumps ahead when it comes to accountability.

This Podcast Is Episode 642, And It's About How To Know If It's Time To Raise Your Rates Without Losing Clients A Practical Guide for Contractors Who Want to Stay Profitable—Without Scaring Off Business If you're like most small construction business owners, you've probably had this thought: "I'm working non-stop, but I'm still barely keeping up—should I raise my prices?" And then right after that, the fear kicks in: "What if I lose clients? What if no one can afford me anymore?" As construction bookkeeping specialists, we hear this frequently. Contractors are nervous to raise their rates because they worry it'll cost them jobs or damage their reputation. But here's the truth: Raising your rates isn't about greed—it's about survival. In this post, we'll guide you through understanding when it's time to increase your rates, how to do it without losing your best clients, and how your books can provide the data and confidence to price with clarity. Why Contractors Hesitate to Raise Rates Let's start with the everyday fears: "My clients won't pay more." "I'll lose out to cheaper competition." "What if I price myself out of the market?" These fears are common, but often based on assumptions rather than data. Low rates can hurt your business more than help it. They lead to: Burnout from overwork Poor-quality clients who expect a lot and pay late Inability to reinvest in tools, help, or marketing Projects that cost more than they bring in So let's flip the script. Instead of fearing a rate increase, let's explore how to raise with purpose—and use facts, not fear, to guide your pricing. 1. Start with Job Costing Before raising rates, you need to know one thing clearly: Are you actually making money on your jobs? Job costing is the process of tracking: Labor hours (including your own!) Material and supply costs Subcontractor fees Equipment and tool usage Permits, dump runs, gas, insurance A share of your overhead (office, truck, phone, software) Once you tally this up, compare it to what you charged. If you're seeing slim margins—or worse, negative ones—you're undercharging. Bookkeeper's Tip: Start by reviewing your last 5–10 jobs. Break them down into: Estimated vs. actual cost Hours quoted vs. hours worked Gross profit (before overhead) Net profit (after overhead) Even a simple spreadsheet can help you see which jobs are winners—and which ones need a pricing tune-up. 2. Watch for These Signs - It's Time to Raise Rates Still unsure? Here are seven signs it's time to raise your prices: 1. You're booked out for weeks (or months) This means demand is high, and your pricing may be too low. If people are lining up, a modest increase won't deter them. 2. You're working too hard for too little If you're exhausted, working weekends, and still not taking home enough, your rate is too low. Period. 3. You haven't raised your prices in over a year Material costs, fuel, insurance, and labor have all increased. If your rates haven't changed, you're likely absorbing the difference. 4. Your quality has improved Are you more skilled than when you started? Do you offer better results, smoother communication, or cleaner job sites? Then you should be charging for it. 5. You're attracting low-quality clients If you constantly deal with haggling, late payments, or poor communication, your pricing is attracting bargain hunters rather than quality clients. 6. Your tools, overhead, and team cost more Running a legit business costs money. If you're licensed, insured, and invest in quality, your rates should reflect that. 7. You're turning away work If you're saying no to jobs because you're too busy, that's a strong sign it's time to raise your prices and focus on higher-value projects. 3. How to Raise Rates Without Losing Good Clients You don't need to double your rates overnight or announce a price hike in bold letters. Here's how to do it strategically and professionally: A. Start with New Clients This is the easiest path. Quote your new price to new inquiries in the future. They won't know the old rate, so there's no resistance. B. Add Value, Not Just Cost When raising rates, remind clients of what they're getting: Better project management Faster turnaround Clearer communication Higher quality materials Insured and dependable work Frame your pricing as an investment, not just a fee. C. Offer Tiers or Packages For price-sensitive clients, offer a few levels of service: Basic (bare-bones scope) Standard (your usual full-service) Premium (extras like design, faster turnaround, etc.) This helps clients self-select based on budget without forcing you to underprice your work. D. Phase In Rate Increases If you work with repeat clients, give them a heads-up: "Due to rising material and labor costs, I'll be increasing my hourly/project rates starting [date]. I wanted to let you know in advance so we can plan accordingly." Most reasonable clients will understand, especially if you've consistently delivered value. 4. Use Pricing Psychology to Your Advantage Pricing is part math, part mindset. Here are a few tactics to make your price increases feel smoother: Avoid round numbers Instead of $1,000, say $1,175 or $3,950. It feels more calculated, not random. Anchor with options Show your higher price next to a more expensive (or less valuable) one. This frames your offer as the "just right" choice. Include a price breakdown. Show labor, materials, subs, overhead—so clients understand what goes into your rate. Be confident Clients can sense uncertainty. If you hesitate or over-explain, it creates doubt. Quote clearly and stand behind your values. 5. Track What Happens Next After you raise rates, keep an eye on: Win/loss rate (are fewer clients saying yes?) Job profitability (are you keeping more after costs?) Client satisfaction (any change in feedback or reviews?) Hours worked vs. income (are you earning more with less hustle?) Often, you'll find you're getting fewer clients, but better ones. And that's the goal: less chaos, more profit, and more control over your schedule. Final Thoughts You Deserve to Be Paid for What You're Worth You started your business to build freedom, not to be overworked and underpaid. Raising your rates isn't risky when data, systems, and experience back it. It's a sign of growth and professionalism. The right clients will respect it, and you'll finally start seeing the kind of income and balance your hard work deserves. Need Help Understanding Your Numbers Before You Raise Rates? As a construction bookkeeping specialist, we help contractors: Break down job costs Analyze profit margins Clean up financials Set pricing that actually works As we always say, Contractors like you deserve to be wealthy because you bring value to other people's lives. You don't need more jobs. You need the right jobs at the correct rate. Let's get you there.
