Over three years after her first appearance (Episode 18), Kim Bryan returns to the Talent Intelligence Collective podcast to discuss her evolution from leading a global TI team of 120 at its peak to launching AMS's Research Lab. In this wide-ranging conversation, Kim shares insights from analysing around 400,000 hiring records spanning just under 100 countries from 2020 to 2025 and reveals what's really driving offer declines (spoiler: it's not always about money).What We CoverAI & Employment - Examining Stanford's "Canaries in the Coal Mine" study and why the "AI is replacing entry-level workers" narrative might be correlation, not causation. The real impact on software development and customer support roles, and why businesses still don't understand where to apply AI effectively.ONS Labour Force Survey Crisis - UK response rates dropped from under 50% in 2016 to around 20% now, whilst the US maintains 68%.

The shift to self-service models, introduction of Insights and Intelligence Partners, and the ongoing data literacy challenge.Offer Declines Research - Key findings: 15% increase in time-to-hire when offers are declined. Compensation wasn't the dominant reason—personal factors, hiring process issues, and flexibility matter more than expected.

#PacificWatch: #VegasReport: Canary in the coal mine @JCBliss 1901 CLARK COUNTY
Send us a textThis week, Kristen and Jen dive straight into the finance headlines with a M&A story: Perplexity, an AI startup valued at $18 billion, has made a $34 billion all-cash bid for Google Chrome. Kristen unpacks why this is virtually unprecedented in dealmaking, explaining how the size mismatch, lack of financing capacity, and Chrome's not-for-sale status make the offer so unusual. They revisit the AOL–Time Warner merger as the closest (though still imperfect) precedent and debate whether this might be the “canary in the coal mine” for overheated AI valuations.Jen follows with a contrarian take on the Federal Reserve: even if the Fed cuts rates in September as the market expects, long-term interest rates might actually rise. She explains how inflation pressures, market expectations, and a “cash trap” dynamic could lead to higher mortgage rates, an unintended consequence that would frustrate borrowers hoping for relief. The discussion also touches on softening labor market signals, political pressure on the Fed, and why rate policy in a high-inflation environment can move markets in unexpected ways.The episode then shifts to signs of stress in private credit markets, focusing on the rise of “PIK” (payment-in-kind) interest arrangements. Kristin explains how PIK structures work, why an uptick, especially in “bad PIK” where struggling borrowers opt to defer cash interest, can be an early warning for financial trouble, and how this fits into the broader credit cycle. They close with a debate on networking ethics after a viral Reddit thread about circulating analyst email lists, and the importance of genuine, trust-based connections in breaking into competitive industries.For a 14 day FREE Trial of Macabacus, click HERE For 20% off Deleteme, use the code TWSS or click the link HERE!

In the old days of coal mining one of the common practices was to bring a canary down in the mine. They did this because canaries are very sensitive to gases like methane. So if the canaries became sick or died the miners would know it was unsafe and leave, so it was a way for predicting dire consequences. Therefore the term "canary in the coal mine" refers to an indicator which proceeds disaster. Today Michael Ness joins me as we look at certain groups which have distanced themselves from the Adam-God Doctrine and where they stand now.
The Third Amendment.Maybe you've heard it as part of a punchline. It's the one about quartering troops — two words you probably haven't heard side by side since about the late 1700s.At first glance, it might not seem super relevant to modern life. But in fact, the U.S. government has gotten away with violating the Third Amendment several times since its ratification — and every time it's gone largely unnoticed.In a time of escalating political violence, police forces armed with military equipment, and more frequent and devastating natural disasters, why the Third Amendment deserves a closer look.

Japan is on the brink. With its annual COVID booster policy kicking in for the elderly and chronically ill, the country is facing growing public distrust, rising medical costs, and deepening economic instability. But this isn't just a Japanese crisis—it's a warning to the world.In this explosive episode, journalist and freedom fighter Masako Ganaha joins us from Okinawa to expose how vaccine policy, debt economics, and globalist pressure are colliding in real time. We draw shocking parallels to the U.S.—from inflation to health tyranny—and ask the tough question: Is Japan the beta test for the West's collapse?

Stock tickers may not immediately price in uncertainty during times of geopolitical volatility. Our Head of Corporate Credit Research Andrew Sheets suggests a different indicator to watch.Read more insights from Morgan Stanley.----- Transcript -----Andrew Sheets: Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Andrew Sheets, Head of Corporate Credit Research at Morgan Stanley.Today I'm going to talk about how we're trying to simplify the complicated questions of recent geopolitical events.It's Friday, June 27th at 2pm in London.Recent U.S. airstrikes against Iran and the ongoing conflict between Iran and Israel have dominated the headlines. The situation is complicated, uncertain, and ever changing. From the time that this episode is recorded to when you listen to it, conditions may very well have changed again.Geopolitical events such as this one often have a serious human, social and financial cost, but they do not consistently have an impact on markets. As analysis by my colleague, Michael Wilson and his team have shown, over a number of key geopolitical events over the last 30 years, the impact on the S&P 500 has often been either fleeting or somewhat non-existent. Other factors, in short, dominate markets.So how to deal with this conundrum? How to take current events seriously while respecting that historical precedent that they often can have more limited market impact? How to make a forecast when quite simply few investors feel like they have an edge in predicting where these events will go next?In our view, the best way to simplify the market's response is to watch oil prices. Oil remains an important input to the world economy, where changes in price are felt quickly by businesses and consumers.So when we look back at past geopolitical events that did move markets in a more sustained way, a large increase in oil prices often meaning a rise of more than 75 percent year-over-year was often part of the story. Such a rise in such an important economic input in such a short period of time increases the risk of recession; something that credit markets and many other markets need to care about. So how can we apply this today?Well, for all the seriousness and severity of the current conflict, oil prices are actually down about 20 percent relative to a year ago. This simply puts current conditions in a very different category than those other periods be they the 1970s or more recently, Russia's invasion of Ukraine that represented genuine oil price shocks. Why is oil down? Well, as my colleague Martin Rats referred to on an earlier episode of this program, oil markets do have very healthy levels of supply, which is helping to cushion these shocks.With oil prices actually lower than a year ago, we think the credit will focus on other things. To the positive, we see an alignment of a few short-term positive factors, specifically a pretty good balance of supply and demand in the credit market, low realized volatility, and a historically good window in the very near term for performance. Indeed, over the last 15 years, July has represented the best month of the year for returns in both investment grade and high yield credit in both the U.S. and in Europe.And what could disrupt this? Well, a significant spike in oil prices could be one culprit, but we think a more likely catalyst is a shift of those favorable conditions, which could happen from August and beyond. From here, Morgan Stanley economists' forecasts see a worsening mix of growth in inflation in the U.S., while seasonal return patterns to flip from good to bad.In the meantime, however, we will keep watching oil.Thank you as always for your time. If you find Thoughts the Market useful, let us know by leaving a review wherever you listen, and also tell a friend or colleague about us today.
Eddie Yoon says core PCE and consumer sentiment both raised signs of weakening wallets. That, on top of trans-Atlantic flights from Europe hitting pre-pandemic levels, worry Eddie that more softness will come. Layoffs in major firms like Microsoft (MSFT) and Amazon (AMZN) add to resistance against the job market. He also talks about the headwinds luxury brands like Lululemon (LULU) will face in a shifting macro environment.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

Peabody, founded in 1883, is one of the leading coal producers in the U.S., operating 17 surface and underground mines across the U.S. and Australia. We were thrilled to hear Jim's perspective on the evolving role of coal in both the U.S. and global energy markets. In our conversation, Jim shares background on his decision to join Peabody during a period of financial and market uncertainty and outlines the company's progress in recent years, including repayment of $1.5B in secured debt, reinstatement of a dividend and stock buyback program, and reinvestment in U.S. and Australian assets. We discuss how to motivate a coal workforce amid global anti-coal sentiment, Peabody's asset footprint, the strategic importance of the Powder River Basin (PRB) and the untapped potential to export PRB coal to Asia, the advantages of U.S. coal relative to coal in other parts of the world, and the vast abundance of U.S. coal, with U.S. coal reserves containing more energy than any other nation holds in any single energy resource. We explore the distinctions between thermal and metallurgical coal, global coal demand and outlook, the longevity of coal infrastructure with new plants expected to operate for 30-50 years, the improved environmental footprint of modern coal plants and outdated misconceptions, coal's role in poverty reduction and economic growth in developing nations, and the push to codify U.S. regulatory changes into legislation for permanence beyond changing administrations. Jim shares his perspective on coal's role in grid stability and delivering lower, more stable electricity prices, state-level legislative trends supporting reliability requirements for coal plants, the current status and underutilization of the U.S. coal fleet, and renewed interest from industrial users and datacenters seeking long-term, dependable power sources. We examine investor trends including the emerging investor focus on international coal markets, international market dynamics and growth opportunities across metallurgical and thermal coal, and much more. We close by asking Jim for his top takeaway, and he highlights the importance of being open-minded about coal's net benefits, particularly regarding its role in global energy access, industrial development, and improving standards of living. It was our pleasure to host Jim and we greatly enjoyed the discussion. Mike Bradley opened the discussion by noting that bond, commodity and equity markets have largely roundtripped to their June 12th closing levels (prior to the Israeli strike on Iran). From a bond market perspective, the 10-year bond yield (~4.3%) has essentially roundtripped and traders are now focused on upcoming economic data. In crude markets, WTI spiked to a high of ~$78.50/bbl on Monday following the U.S. strike over the weekend of Iranian nuclear sites, but has since pulled back to ~$65/bbl amid reports of a “proposed” Iranian/Israeli ceasefire, which is ~$3/bbl lower than June 12th price levels and ~$5/bbl above June trading lows. From an Energy equity standpoint, Energy has also roundtripped and is now trading modestly below (~2%) June 12th levels as energy investors begin refocusing their attention on the 2H'25/1H'26 global oil surplus. From a broader market standpoint, the S&P 500 is now ~0.5% higher than June 12th levels and within 1% of all-time highs. Broader markets are now in the process of transitioning away from Mideast conflict back towards U.S. domestic policy. Mike concluded by noting that investors are beginning to refocus on the odds of Trump'
In this episode of The Side Hustle Squad Podcast, Mike sits down with Matt Dickey of Plum Creek Lawncare out of Sparta, Illinois. Matt's story is a true testament to grit, hustle, and knowing when to pivot. He shares how he spent over a decade juggling a firewood business while operating heavy equipment in a coal mine—all while quietly building a lawn maintenance side hustle. After making the leap full-time into entrepreneurship, Matt realized that the debt from the firewood business was holding his lawn company back. His bold decision to sell off that side of the business and go all-in on lawn care paid off—and now he's leading a thriving 2 man crew that's becoming a staple in their small town of 5,000.

In this week's episode of the 222 Paranormal Podcast, we descend into the haunted hollows of Pennsylvania and Kentucky, where ghost stories aren't just legends — they're warnings etched into rock. In the coal-rich hills of Pennsylvania, mining towns were built on the backs of hardworking men, many of whom paid the ultimate price underground. Accidents, cave-ins, and explosions claimed lives without mercy. Now, decades later, locals and paranormal investigators report unsettling encounters in abandoned shafts and sealed tunnels. At the Number 9 Coal Mine, visitors describe the sounds of picks striking rock, ghostly footsteps, and cold spots where no draft should reach. The Eckley Miners' Village, once a bustling hub, is now a preserved ghost town — literally. Shadows flit between buildings, and residents report hearing men speaking in hushed tones late at night, though no one is there. We also head south to Kentucky, home to one of the largest and oldest cave systems in the world — Mammoth Cave. With over 400 miles of mapped passages, this underground labyrinth has seen its share of tragedy. During the 1800s, part of the cave was used as a tuberculosis hospital. Patients lived — and died — in the cold, damp darkness. Park rangers and visitors alike report seeing pale figures, hearing labored breathing, and even encountering a phantom guide who offers to lead tours before disappearing into the stone. We'll also explore the infamous story of Floyd Collins, a cave explorer who became trapped in Sand Cave in 1925. Despite a nationwide rescue effort, Collins died alone in the darkness. Since then, strange activity has been reported near the cave — from soft weeping sounds to flickering lights with no source And let's not forget the Tommyknockers — mischievous spirits said to dwell in the mines, sometimes blamed for accidents but also credited with warning miners of danger. Are they folklore? Or a real phenomenon witnessed by those who've worked in the belly of the earth? Whether carved by man or nature, caves and mines hold the energy of trauma, tragedy, and mystery — making them perfect breeding grounds for the paranormal. In this episode, we share true stories, chilling eyewitness accounts, and eerie folklore that prove: when you go underground, you never know what you might awaken.

The aging workforce gets a sympathetic nod as they dodge AI overlords and corporate curveballs, and the hosts toss in some cheeky political jabs about Canada-U.S. relations—because why not? Meanwhile, the tech world's a hot mess: companies rise and fall faster than a bad TikTok trend, return-to-office mandates have everyone grumbling, and UPS layoffs are waving red flags like an economic doomsday prophet. Gen Z and X'ers alike are sweating in this AI-driven, stagflation-looming job market, and the Deel-Rippling corporate soap opera keeps the drama juicier than a reality TV reunion. Grab your popcorn!

Guest Jon Waterman's immersive explorations of wilderness and environmental issues are distilled within his 17 books, in a mission to inspire readers to protect the planet's natural wonders. His book Into the Thaw: Witnessing Wonder Amid the Arctic Climate Crisis is drawn from some of his life's most profound journeys. By taking risks and tackling difficult issues, his work transcends traditional outdoor yarns and has garnered numerous awards, such as a Literary Fellowship from the National Endowment of the Arts. Summary In this episode, writer and Arctic explorer Jon Waterman shares insights from his decades-long journeys across Alaska's Arctic wilderness. He paints a sobering picture of climate change's accelerating impact—melting permafrost, vanishing sea ice, shifting wildlife patterns, and imperiled native villages. As the Arctic warms nearly four times faster than the rest of the planet, Jon calls it “the canary in the coal mine” and urges us to recognize the global implications—and take action. Three Important Takeaways The Arctic Is Warming Rapidly The region is experiencing climate change nearly four times faster than the rest of the globe, leading to permafrost melt, disrupted ecosystems, and rising sea levels. Local Impacts Have Global Consequences Thawing permafrost releases greenhouse gases like methane, while diminished sea ice alters ocean currents and contributes to extreme weather patterns far beyond the Arctic. Witnessing Wilderness Fuels Urgency and Hope Despite alarming trends, Jon emphasizes the importance of experiencing nature firsthand to foster a sense of wonder, connection, and responsibility to protect it.
The Pennsylvania House is broadening and advancing a consumer data privacy bill. WITF’s Jordan Wilkie reports it would allow Pennsylvanians to ask companies to not collect certain data and have them delete other data already on-hand. A Johnstown-based mining company has gotten the go-ahead to expand an underground coal mine in Westmoreland County. LCT Energy operates the 2800-acre Rustic Ridge “Number One” coal mine in Donegal, just south of the Pennsylvania Turnpike exit there. The company recently got approval from the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection to expand the mine northward, underneath the Turnpike. Reid Frazier, from our friends at the Allegheny Front, reports opponents of the project worry about the potential for environmental damage. Dauphin County officials admit a 911 dispatcher did not appropriately escalate a call in accordance with county policy, early Sunday morning, April 13th, an hour after an arson attack on the Governor's Residence. Campgrounds, boat ramps, welcome centers and other recreational facilities run by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in six states are being closed or seeing hours reduced due to funding cuts by the Trump administration. The cuts include Blue Marsh Lake located near Reading, in Berks County. Mike Sullivan’s nearly decade-long tenure running the Pittsburgh Penguins is over. The team announced Monday that it was parting ways with the two-time Stanley Cup winning coach just over a week after the Penguins missed out on the playoffs for a third straight season. And the Hershey Bears open their Calder Cup playoff run this week. Game one is Wednesday night in Hershey, versus the Lehigh Valley Phantoms in an Atlantic Division best-of-five semifinal series. Hershey is seeking its 14th AHL championship overall. Support WITF: https://www.witf.org/support/give-now/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
