If you're watching this, whether you're a fan of fossil fuels or not, there's no denying that modern society is still immensely dependent on them -- particularly oil. Look around you -- practically everything you see required oil somewhere along the process of being mined, manufactured or transported to get to where you are. Even the food you ate today. Oil is still the lifeblood of the global economy. Yet after hitting $120/barrel a year ago, its price has since dropped nearly in half. For an update on what lies ahead with this essential fuel, as well as the global energy markets in general, we welcome petroleum geologist & energy industry analyst Art Berman back to the program. ************************************************* At Wealthion, we show you how to protect and build your wealth by learning from the world's top experts on finance and money. Each week we add new videos that provide you with access to the foremost specialists in investing, economics, the stock market, real estate and personal finance. We offer exceptional interviews and explainer videos that dive deep into the trends driving today's markets, the economy, and your own net worth. We give you strategies for financial security, practical answers to questions like “how to grow my investments?”, and effective solutions for wealth building tailored to 'regular' investors just like you. There's no doubt that it's a very challenging time right now for the average investor. Above and beyond the recent economic impacts of COVID, the new era of record low interest rates, runaway US debt and US deficits, and trillions of dollars in monetary and fiscal stimulus stimulus has changed the rules of investing by dangerously distorting the Dow index, the S&P 500, and nearly all other asset prices. Can prices keep rising, or is there a painful reckoning ahead? Let us help you prepare your portfolio just in case the future brings one or more of the following: inflation, deflation, a bull market, a bear market, a market correction, a stock market crash, a real estate bubble, a real estate crash, an economic boom, a recession, a depression, or another global financial crisis. Put the wisdom from the money & markets experts we feature on Wealthion into action by scheduling a free consultation with Wealthion's endorsed financial advisors, who will work with you to determine the right next steps for you to take in building your wealth.

We have some incredibly powerful information to share with you today on disruptive forces and trends that will be dramatically altering the course of real estate investing for the next ten years, and I'm so excited to have Neal Bawa back on the show to share it with us. For those of you who don't know Neal, he is considered the Mad Scientist of Multifamily, and I've been following Neal and his companies Grocapitus and Multifamily University for years because he takes data science, statistics, and technological advancements and in an amazing and exciting way forecasts trends that very few investors are paying attention to. So prepare yourself for a fascinating conversation, because Neal is going to take us through several disruptive trends that are going to change the way people live and invest.  We'll be discussing Hybrid Work and how we've only seen the tip of the iceberg in people working from home and companies allowing them to do so. You'll also learn about Tokenization and Smart Contracts, and how this will allow investors to buy and sell real estate much like they do stocks or cryptocurrency.  It will also lead to a dramatic decrease in the number of syndicators over the next 10 years. Neal also touches on several other powerful forces that will have a massive impact on investing, such as Suburbanization and the growth of tertiary markets outside Primary Metros, Augmented Reality, Staycations, and 15-minute cities. I know you're going to get huge value from today's episode.  You can find out more about Neal by googling “Neal Bawa”, or going to https://multifamilyu.com Today's episode is brought to you by Green Property Management, managing everything from single family homes to apartment complexes in the West Michigan area. https://www.livegreenlocal.com And RCB & Associates, helping Michigan-based real estate investors and small business owners navigate the complex world of health insurance and medicare benefits. https://www.rcbassociatesllc.com    

Market strategist Larry McDonald, creator of The Bear Traps Report, says that with inflation holding at a higher trajectory than the last 10 years, investors need to move away from growth stocks and head towards commodities and hard-asset companies plus value stocks moving forward. In another Big Interview segment, real estate expert Brian Icenhower of Icenhower Coaching and Consulting says the nation isn't facing a housing bubble -- which will burst and dissipate -- so much as a housing crisis, that will dramatically impact home prices for the foreseeable future. Also on the show, investment strategist Matt Harris of Aperture Research Partners talks technical analysis and the current range-bound market, and Sam Brothwell of Energy Income Partners discusses energy infrastructure investing and why renewable energy doesn't make legacy energy stocks a bad investment.

What better way to close out Pride Month than with the author of some of the most dynamic, queer-focused Golden Girls content out there! Dr. Thomas J. West III, TJ to his pals and confidantes, wrote a paper called “Thank You for Being a Friend:” The Politics, History, and Fandom of The Golden Girls and Its Feminist Message for the Coming Decade," and has since written extensively about The Golden Girls, television, politics, and more. He is the co-host of the Queens of the B's podcast and was kind enough to talk to us about queerness of Phil Petrillo, the controversy surrounding Mixed Blessings, and the underrated genius of Susan Harris.

Shift left. Continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD). Continuous deployment. DevOps. What is all this stuff and what does it mean for you as the tester? In this keynote, Rex Black will explain these concepts and their test implications. He’ll then describe the emerging role of the SDET (Software Development Engineering in Test, also called SET) and what SDETs do. Yes, being an SDET is about test automation, but it’s about a lot more than that, and Rex will give you some examples of things you can expect to do as an SDET in a shift left world over the coming decade. Don’t worry. Life as a tester in the SDET reality is gonna be fun and exciting, and Rex will give you some ideas how.

Jane Lo, Singapore Correspondent speaks with Professor Sean Smith, Director at National Computational Infrastructure (NCI) following SuperComputing Asia 2021. Professor Sean Smith commenced as Director of the NCI in January 2018 and is conjointly Professor of computational nanomaterials science and technology at the Australian National University. He has extensive theoretical and computational research experience in chemistry, nanomaterials and nano-bio science and technology. He returned to Australia in 2014 at UNSW Sydney, founding and directing the Integrated Materials Design Centre to drive an integrated program of materials design, discovery and characterization. Prior to this, he directed the US Department of Energy funded Center for Nanophase Materials Sciences (CNMS) at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, one of five major DOE nanoscience research and user facilities in the US, through its 2011-2013 triennial phase. During his earlier career, he joined The University of Queensland as junior faculty in 1993 after post-doctoral research at UC Berkeley (1991-1993) and Universität Göttingen (Humboldt Fellow 1989-1991); became Professor and Director of the Centre for Computational Molecular Science 2002-2011; and built up the computational nanobio science and technology laboratory the Australian Institute for Bioengineering and Nanotechnology (AIBN) at UQ 2006-2011. He worked with colleagues in the ARC (Australian Research Council) Center of Excellence for Functional Nanomaterials 2002-2011 as Program Leader (Computational Nanoscience) and Deputy Director (Internationalisation). Professor Smith has published over 330 refereed journal papers with more than 22,000 citations. In 1998 he was elected Fellow of the Royal Australian Chemical Institute. In 2006 he was recipient of a Bessel Research Award of the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation in Germany. In 2012 he was elected Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) and in 2015 he was elected Fellow of the Institution of Chemical Engineers (IChemE). He received his PhD in theoretical chemistry from the University of Canterbury, New Zealand, in 1989. In this podcast, Professor Smith discusses the evolution of Australian high performance computing (HPC) and its pivotal role in advancing science that delivers societal and economic value.  He introduces NCI’s supercomputer Gadi, and its architecture driving its processing capabilities, currently ranked as the most powerful in the southern hemisphere. Using the examples of the cyclone and bushfire that he presented at the SuperComputing Asia 2021 conference, Professor Smith explains how Gadi’s exascale compute tackles the challenges of building models at levels of complexity that were previously not possible.  He also highlights how big data and analytics is relied upon by big agency mission science (such as geoscience, earth and climate science), and decision makers in private sectors for more accurate and timely information. These aspects, he notes, are increasingly critical to enable, for examples, more effective disaster event responses and further practical applications of medical research.

Happy Tuesday! Bernadette gets deep today. Please, rethink dove hunting. The doves live behind Bernadette's house and she loves seeing them every morning! Please, rethink your hobby. If you kill for sport, please rethink your actions. As far as actions, our two guests are always in action! Jerry Yudelson and Lauren Herring will be joining One Life Radio today! So exciting! Jerry Yudelson Yudelson is a social activist, environmentalist, engineer and spiritual seeker. He’s chronicled his extensive 50-year career and spiritual journey in his book, “The Godfather of Green: An Eco-Spiritual Memoir.” Jerry’s environmental activism began with the inaugural Earth Day Celebration in 1970, when Jerry was a campus organizer at Caltech. He was a key player in California’s solar energy movement during the 70s and 80s, appointed by Governor Jerry Brown to run the state’s solar development program. Jerry has authored 12 books on green building, sustainable development, water conservation, green homes, building performance and green marketing. Fires, Floods, Coronavirus & Climate Change – The Real Challenges We Face in the Coming Decade. Jerry is here to tell us a little bit more about climate change. Currently, there are so many wildfires in California right now due to lightning! The influx of storms is directly due to climate change. Right now, we have more carbon dioxide in the universe than we have in 3 million years. We are heading into doubling and tripling the temperature rise than ever before. Let's look at hurricane Laura. Laura went from a category 1 to a category 4 in 24 hours. The increased heat in the Gulf of Mexico allowed for hurricane Laura to gain strength. We have changed a lot in the last 50 years since the first earth day in 1970. The United States need to be a good example for other countries around the world. We are taking advantage of our earth and planet. We must respect the planet we were given. There is no planet B! Lauren Herring Lauren Herring is CEO of IMPACT Group, the largest woman- owned career coaching company supporting over 200 Fortune 500 companies worldwide. Over the past 30 years, IMPACT Group has successfully helped hundreds of thousands of people find jobs. Additionally, Lauren has donated IMPACT Group’ s services to thousands of individuals in underserved communities, helping them to find jobs, dignity and economic independence. She has received the "Game Changer Award" by Workforce Magazine and has been published or quoted in the Wall Street Journal, Forbes, and Fast Company. Lauren’s passion for making a positive impact led her to write "Take Control of Your Job Search!" as well as  "This Side Up!" Lauren can also be found running the streets of St. Louis while training for a triathlon or spending time with her husband, Ted, and two young children. 10 Emotions To Master During Your Job Search So many people are out of work right now, so Lauren's book is a great read, and so timely! Networking is the #1 driver of jobs right now, especially now, more than ever. The saying "it's not about what you know, it's who you know" is a saying for a reason! Career IQ and EQ are important, but EQ can often be forgotten. Your emotional expertise matters too! Sometimes, not having a job is not the worst thing ever. Take time to get your game plan together. Take time to strengthen your skills. If you do not have connections, that's okay! Bernadette says that she respects people who want to work hard, more than those who just "sit" or know someone. You must master both the positive and negative emotions alike! Having a team of support behind you is critical during a job search. Think of it as a personal advisory board. Lauren says to the people that are desperate to find a job during COVID, do not be discouraged. Get out there and try! Focus on your personal branding and make your intentions clear. Show your value and what you can bring to the table! Have faith in yourself. Thank You!

Let's start today with next platforms, the scenarios for what the world will look like in 2029, 2030, around next platforms Section 1 - Next platforms & Structural Tech (02:30) Next platforms - Deep tech Bertrand:  So let's talk about deep tech and deep tech is a fantastic topic to start,   episode 13 today. There are of course, a lot of topics in deep tech and we cannot cover all of them, but let's start with space. I think what has been amazing was just a few days ago, SpaceX, sent humans to the space station and it worked,  they are in great shape. I believe it was nine years, since the last time astronauts have been sent to the ISS from the US, not needing a hitch from the Russians.  I must say it has been amazing. The last 10 years, what SpaceX has achieved, moving from... I'm not sure they had a single rocket working 10 years ago, to sending now humans, and not just sending humans to the ISS, but sending humans through a very, very cost-effective rocket with a state-of-the-art shuttle. It's really amazing. So when you think about 10 years from now, what could be there? Could we ready be on Mars? Nuno what's  Nuno: I don't know. everyone keeps saying it's the next frontier. There are certainly a lot of things that we can do in space, around low orbits, around communication, around infrastructure that helps us, for example, visualize what's happening earth, and making more powerful, our decision making processes here on earth. So there's certainly a lot of potential that I see in space. I'm not sure we're gonna start colonizing things by the end of the decade, so I'm not sure we'll have people in the moon or we will get to M...

In this episode, the second part of our discussion on the 2020s, we will use our scenario planning methodology to project forward into the latter part of the 2020 decade, so that we can deep-dive into the future of Energy & Climate Change, Healthcare, Education, Financial Services, Retail & Commerce, Leisure & Entertainment and Social & Communication.  Please also listen to our previous episode 11, where we started our time traveling and discussed the Macro landscape - both Governmental/Geopolitical and Non-Governmental, and also User Paradigms around Work, Home and Mobility. Join us for our next episode, episode 13, which will conclude our “Time Travel Trilogy” of the 2020 decade, by delving into Next Platforms & Tech, Venture capital & Start-ups and an overall framing of the 2020s.  Navigation: Introduction (01:24) Section 1 - Energy & Climate Change (02:03) Section 2 - Healthcare (06:30) Section 3 - Education (10:06) Section 4 - Financial Services (14:49) Section 5 - Retail & Commerce (18:13) Section 6 - Leisure & Entertainment (25:26) Section 7 - Social & Communication (41:18) Conclusion (47:13) Our co-hosts: Bertrand Schmitt, Tech Entrepreneur, co-founder and Chairman at App Annie, @bschmitt Nuno Goncalves Pedro, Investor, co-Founder and Managing Partner of Strive Capital, @ngpedro Our show: Tech DECIPHERED brings you the Entrepreneur and Investor views on Big Tech, VC and Start-up news, opinion pieces and research.

Subscribe To Our Podcast Full transcription: may contain unintentionally confusing, inaccurate and/or amusing transcription errors Intro (01:24) Bertrand: Welcome back to Tech Deciphered episode 12 on the 2020s.  If you remember our previous episode, episode 11, we started talking about the 2020s, our view about the next decade. Trying to do some scenario planning, trying to project what are the  possible scenarios in 10 years from now of where the world will be. Where some technologies will be. Where some consumer habits will be, and try to walk back from that perspective  and think carefully about what it means and how it could happen or not happen. And obviously, share our opinions of the most likely  scenarios. Section 1 - Energy & Climate Change (02:03) Nuno: And we will start today with energy and climate change. I'm generally optimistic about the discussion around climate change coming out of this shelter in place and lockdowns that we've had around the world. Where people are seeing the effects that we actually have on the environment, and those effects are very obvious. You know, we've taken a little bit of pause. There's a reduction in pollution, and we see the world changes around us. So the momentum, I believe for climate change after this will be a positive one. Just by the nature of what we're observing. There will be two negative levers to this. the first lever that will be negative is the fact that we need to have an economic recovery. And at this moment in time, that economic recovery needs to be fast. So we need to start moving and we need to start moving even faster. In some ways, that will generate probably the impetus for certain governments and certain corporations to more aggressive about manufacturing, logistics and things that we know are implicitly creating pollution. And then the second piece that is negative to this climate change agenda, and us obviously adopting more renewable energies, better technologies, and everything that would make this world that we're currently in, in lockdown, more sustainable into the future is the fact that obviously the price of oil has come down plummeting to levels never seen before. And so it's actually very, very cheap.  So those are the two forces that I believe we're having infighting on. There's many other forces we could have around this,

In this episode, we will start discussing the 2020s. We will introduce a unique and novel framework that we will follow around scenario planning, frame when exactly the 2020s start (hint: starts with a C and ends with 19), debate the macro landscape - both governmental/geopolitical and non-governmental and finalize with the user paradigms around Work, Home and Mobility. We will continue this discussion of the 2020s in the next episodes, including the second part of our analysis of the 2020s, in which we will delve into the future of Energy + Climate Change, Healthcare, Education, Financial, Retail & Commerce, Leisure & Entertainment and Social & Communication. Look out for episode 12.  Navigation: Introduction (01:24) Section 1 - When did the 2020s start? (02:41) Section 2 - Macro, World Governance, Geopolitics and Non-Governmental (03:24) Section 3 - User Paradigms (28:08) Conclusion (53:49) Our co-hosts: Bertrand Schmitt, Tech Entrepreneur, co-founder and Chairman at App Annie, @bschmitt Nuno Goncalves Pedro, Investor, co-Founder and Managing Partner of Strive Capital, @ngpedro Our show: Tech DECIPHERED brings you the Entrepreneur and Investor views on Big Tech, VC and Start-up news, opinion pieces and research.

Subscribe To Our Podcast Full transcription: may contain unintentionally confusing, inaccurate and/or amusing transcription errors Intro (01:24) Nuno: In today's episode, episode 11 we will start talking about the 2020s, the decade that we have ahead of us. We will drive this into different episodes and we will choose a framework that's a little bit different than those normally followed by people that we normally listen to. We will choose a scenario planning framework. The difference between a scenario planning framework and simply a forecast framework is in forecasting. We're trying to extrapolate the future from where we start today. In a scenario planning exercise, we really doing a little bit of time traveling to start with. We're moving ourselves into the future and to 2025, 2029 and we're trying to figure out, from there, what things would need to happen to give rise to those scenarios. In some cases, we will share very strong views, which we hope you're okay with, but in others we will really structure two or three potential scenarios for some of the elements that we will discuss. The objective is to start the discussion going and to the best of our knowledge, really frame what's ahead of us in the next five to 10 years. Section 1 - When did the 2020s started? (02:41) Bertrand:  We will start with, where does it start? When did the 2020s started? And I guess everyone will agree that right now under shelter in place we have a pretty momentous event with us. We're in the middle of COVID-19 emergency, we are in a new world, a brave new world, I guess, and that's how the 2020s started. Obviously it will be more difficult to guess exactly when this decade will be over, beyond, the digits, but more based on inflection points. Nuno: So we start with crisis. Bertrand: We start with crisis. Hopefully we don't end with crisis  Nuno: It seems like every decade has been defined by crisis. So the likelihood of that we shall see.   Bertrand: Indeed Section 2 - Macro, World Governance, Geopolitics, Non-Governmental (03:24) Nuno: We are gonna talk about scenarios for what the world will look like in 2029, 2030, from what I call the outlandish, to the predictable. And we're going to start with the macro space, world governance, geopolitical, and non-governmental elements. 2.1 Covid-19 impact So we'll start with coronavirus, which is obviously in our minds today, and we've already dedicated episode 9A and 9B to the discussion around coronavirus. So today we will not repeat what we discussed in that episode. So go back to episode 9A and 9B to really see our...

Guest overview Dr. Morgaine Gaye's path to being a leading thinker in Food Futurology was any but predictable. As an only child with a partying, Butcher for a mother and an ex-pat bodybuilding construction worker for a father, she grew up in a home with little money, love, attention, and direction. Self-parenting was her only option as she immersed herself in art, books, and a fantasy world. Leaving school at sixteen, she traveled to the middle east, spent a year at university in Wisconsin, and by 19 was working as a ‘weather girl' on Hong Kong TV. She discusses drifting through life until finding herself in the game-changing spiritual community at Findhorn and how serendipity led her to discover Quantum Philosophy and starting her PhD.Upon discovering she had always been seeking connection, she was drawn to the universal connector - food. Morgaine breaks down why she focuses on the future of food and we cover how we first met in 2007 working on the development of a raw chocolate bar. Morgaine explains the disruptive decade we have been living through and why we are moving from a phase of life ‘Having' to a phase of ‘knowing' and the seminal shifts that will occur in society, as we become more nature-focused, on an eco-future of biophilia, rewilding and experience the rise of hyper-local communities, and why our global economy will evolve, she observes how fast countries closed borders.Morgaine discusses her experience of suffering from Covid-19 and losing her sense of smell, which has been her superpower. We discuss her principles, her hard choices, how 9/11 led her to launch her own brand of superfood and her perspectives on diets, DNA, and genetics.I hope you enjoy the artistry, vision, and philosophy of Dr. Morgaine Gaye.

Ray Dalio argues that the market experiences paradigm shifts that roughly conform to each new decade and whose typical dominant characteristic tends to be opposite of the decade preceding it. This podcast (7:12) outlines Dalio’s arguments, and adds my own, particularly in support of gold, in anticipation of inflation and in identifying a corner of the stock market that may offer greater stability in what could be a challenging decade for equities.

Kenneth Gronbach | Predictive Demographics: 7 Top Trends That Will Shape the Coming Decade

In a world where the POTUS and Mega Millions jackpots are larger than life and equally unpredictable, being able to forecast the immediate future seems outrageous. So sitting down to predict how the A/E industry and the professionals in it will grow and change over the next decade? Tougher still — but crucial. Listen as PSMJ Founder and CEO Frank A. Stasiowski, FAIA, author of IMPACT 2030—Disruptions in The Design Industry for The Next 10 Years, examines where the A/E/C industry is headed and details changes to a design profession where … - Clients visit buildings not yet constructed - Mistake-free designs reduces liability to zero - Structures collapse and are thrown away—on purpose - And more… Frank explains how demographics, globalization, government expansion, and dramatic technological changes will benefit firms that plan — or seriously challenge firms that fail to map out their futures. You learn how in the A/E/C industry of the future: - Client relationships with their buildings will begin with the RFP - Integrated project delivery will include project and data management - New disciplines like coast engineering and other climate-integrated specialties will emerge as essential - Teams of professionals talk via blockchain - And so much more Frank made bold predictions in the ‘80s, ‘90s, and ‘00s. Nearly all have come true. Stretching the mind to grasp your inevitable future is a scary proposition, but holding onto the past results in certain failure. About Frank: In addition to founding and leading PSMJ Resources, the leading global provider of practice management and performance improvement information for the A/E/C industry, Frank Stasiowski is an adviser to CEOs and other leaders at many of the world’s top architecture and engineering firms.

Some of the ideas discussed in the last few episodes may raise a few eye-brows, as they force advisors and investors to venture outside of their comfort zones. But consider the alternative. At current valuation levels, US equities and bonds are unlikely to deliver meaningful (or even positive) returns in the coming years. What do we propose? Go global and let go of home-country bias. Diversify across asset-classes, factors and strategies. Embrace tracking-error. The key message on this 8th day is: get comfortable with being uncomfortable.

It’s Christmas Eve at the Houston City Auditorium, 1954, and Big Mama Thornton is belting out “Hound Dog,” her hit from the previous year. It’s the years just before Elvis, before rock and roll, when white and black musics were still segregated, officially at least. But the white kids were catching on to the Rhythm and Blues sounds of cats like Fats Domino, Bobby “Blue” Bland, and, up in his dressing room waiting for his turn on stage, Johnny Ace. Tragically, however, Ace wouldn’t make it to perform. A favorite hand-gun mixed with a tough-guy attitude, a couple of pretty women, and an arch-nemeses lead to death by his own hand; Johnny Ace shot himself this night in a game of Russian Roulette. In The Death of Johnny Ace (Dancing Traveler Publishing, 2012), Steve Bergsman gives a fictionalized account of the years leading up to Ace’s demise: his humble beginnings in Memphis, his mercurial rise to stardom on Duke-Peacock Records, and his final hours in Houston. Johnny Ace was a pre-rock ‘n’ roll star on the cusp of superstardom, Steve Bergsman tells us how he got there, and how it all ended. Steve Bergsman has contributed to a wide range of magazines and newspapers, including The New York Times, Global Finance, Chief Executive, and Investment Dealer’s Digest. He has contributed to the “Ground Floor” real estate column in Barron’s, written for most of the leading real estate industry publications, and published numerous books, including After the Fall: Opportunities and Strategies for Real Estate Investing in the Coming Decade and Growing up in Levittown: In a time of Conformity, Controversy and Cultural Crises.
