In today's episode, I share how to turn competition into a calling by shifting from comparison to purpose. Instead of measuring yourself against others, measure progress against your own potential through gratitude, service, and consistent action. I break down the AAA strategy—alignment, action, and adjustment—and explain why being a steward of your brand before monetizing it builds lasting trust and value. You'll learn how to transform attention into education, convert lessons into systems, and build a life stack rooted in faith, fundamentals, and financial literacy. When gratitude leads and service follows, pressure becomes a privilege, not a problem.

Competition in the Cash-Based PT world is rising—fast. If it feels like new Private-Pay practices are popping up every month in your area, you're not imagining it. Clinicians are leaving insurance jobs, jumping Out-of-Network, and launching Cash-Based practices at the fastest rate we've ever seen.

So in this episode, I walk a Mastermind member through how to stay confident, stay full, and stay ahead—without burning out or obsessing over competitors and the things they can't control or influence. What You'll Learn Today The 3 things every practice MUST excel at to outcompete in 2026 Why obsessing over new competitors only slows your growth The mindset shift that top owners use to stay motivated The #1 differentiator in a market full of long one-on-one sessions How to create a culture that patients never want to leave USEFUL INFORMATION: Check out our course: Cash-Based Practice Mastermind

Text us your questions!Is the drive to be better than others making us worse? We talk with theologian Miroslav Volf about his book The Cost of Ambition and explore why comparison-based striving saturates our schools, churches, workplaces, and politics. Volf separates healthy aspiration from superiority-seeking and makes a compelling case for excellence without domination, rooted in agape, i.e., unconditional love that affirms people beyond performance.We dig into the Christ hymn of Philippians 2 and why self-emptying is not weakness but a different kind of strength. Volf shows how resurrection and ascension empower humility rather than feed triumphalism and why honoring everyone is both a spiritual discipline and a democratic necessity. From the academy's “one-up” culture to the marketplace's imitation traps, he argues that obsessing over competitors blinds us to our unique gifts and corrodes joy. Even stalwart capitalists like Warren Buffett warn against competitor-fixation. Volf adds a deeper moral and theological critique as well, drawing on Paul's piercing question: What do you have that you did not receive?We also test his claims against Nietzsche's will to power, happiness research on social comparison, and the rise of Christian nationalism. Is Christ a moral stranger to our priorities? Volf challenges both sides of the aisle to recover mere humanity—Kierkegaard's vision of belovedness before achievement—and to practice agape toward others and ourselves. The result is a bracing, hopeful vision: strive for truth, craft, and contribution, not for status; pursue excellence as stewardship, not self-exaltation.If you're weary of the status treadmill yet still hungry to do meaningful work, this conversation will give you categories, language, and practices to recalibrate your aims.

In this week's episode of Bikinis After Babies, we welcome Brooklyn Goodsell, an IFBB Fit Model Pro, wife, mother and online coach.  Brooklyn's story is one that will truly resonate with so many women — especially mothers who have walked through the physical and emotional challenges that come after childbirth.  Brooklyn battled postpartum depression after the birth of her son 6 years ago— a mental health struggle that SO many women silently battle, yet so few openly talk about.  Brooklyn turned her deepest struggle into her greatest strength, using that pain as fuel for her transformation. Through relentless dedication, she rebuilt her body and mind, stepping on stage in the bikini division and eventually fit model this past year and earning her IFBB pro card at the 2025 Olympia Amateur after 10 years competing.Brooklyn shares how she navigated getting back on stage after having her son and working through the setbacks and obstacles that she faced along the way as well as making the switch to fit model in 2025 after a disappointing finish in her final bikini competition.  Brooklyn talks about the mental fortitude required to keep showing up as she battled for her pro card this season, eventually taking home that title and accomplishing her goal of becoming an IFBB pro!!  Brooklyn's story serves as a beacon of hope for women facing similar challenges, emphasizing that persistence and self-belief can lead to achieving one's goals.We hope that you enjoyed this episode and if so, we would LOVE it if you would rate, subscribe, and leave us reviews on how this podcast has helped you

Dr Yvonne Couch, narrates her blog written for the Dementia Researcher website. In this blog, Yvonne examines how competition influences scientific work, using research on tenure, prestige, field evolution, and the pressures created by short funding cycles. She outlines how incentives in academia shape behaviour at every career stage and explains how systems geared toward rapid output and visible productivity can reshape what counts as valuable or creative work. Find the original text, and narration here on our website. https://www.dementiaresearcher.nihr.ac.uk/blog-competition-in-science/ -- Dr Yvonne Couch is a Research Fellow and Associate Professor at the University of Oxford. Yvonne studies the role of extracellular vesicles and their role in changing the function of the vasculature after stroke, aiming to discover why the prevalence of dementia after stroke is three times higher than the average. It is her passion for problem solving and love of science that drives her, in advancing our knowledge of disease. Yvonne writes about her work, academic life, and careers as she takes a new road into independent research. -- Enjoy listening?

Allied AI Competition and Submarine Requests. Scott Harold examines the crucial role of allies Japan and South Korea in the AI competition against China. Japan is developing locally tailored AI models built on US technology for use in Southeast Asia. South Korea aims to become the third-largest AI power, offering reliable models to counter China's untrustworthy technology. Harold also discusses South Korea's surprising request for nuclear-powered, conventionally armed submarines to track Chinese and North Korean vessels, signaling a greater public willingness to contribute to China deterrence.

Scott Harold examines the crucial role of allies Japan and South Korea in the AI competition against China. Japan is developing locally tailored AI models built on US technology for use in Southeast Asia. South Korea aims to become the third-largest AI power, offering reliable models to counter China's untrustworthy technology. Harold also discusses South Korea's surprising request for nuclear-powered, conventionally armed submarines to track Chinese and North Korean vessels, signaling a greater public willingness to contribute to China deterrence. 915-930 Rare Earths Monopoly and US Strategy. General Blaine Holt discusses China's challenge to the US and its allies regarding rare earths, noting that China previously threatened to cut off supply. The US is securing deals with partners like Australia and is on track to replace China entirely, despite initial processing reliance on Chinese predatory practices. Holt suggests a two-year recovery is conservative, as technology for domestic processing exists. He also notes China's leadership is in turmoil, trying to buy time through trade deals. 930-945 Russian Economic Stagnation and War Finance. Michael Bernstam confirms that the Russian economy is stagnating, expecting no growth for years due to exhausted resources and reliance on military production. Oil and gas revenues are down significantly due to Western sanctions and high discounts, widening the budget deficit. Russia is increasing taxes, including the VAT, which drives inflation in staples. This economic pain damages the popularity of the war by hurting the low-income population—the primary source of military recruitment. 945-1000 Buckley, Fusionism, and Conservative Integrity. Peter Berkowitz explores William F. Buckley's consolidation of the conservative movement through "fusionism"—blending limited government and social conservatism. Buckley purged the movement of anti-Semites based on core principles. Berkowitz uses this historical context to analyze the controversy surrounding Tucker Carlson giving a platform to Nick Fuentes, who openly celebrates Stalin and Hitler. This incident caused division after the Heritage Foundation's president, Kevin Roberts, defended Carlson, prompting Roberts to issue an apology. SECOND HOUR 10-1015 Commodity Markets and UK Political Instability. Simon Constable analyzes rare earth markets, noting China's dominance is achieved through undercutting prices and buying out competitors. Prices for key industrial commodities like copper and aluminum are up, indicating high demand. Constable also discusses UK political instability, noting that Labour Prime Minister Keir Starmer lacks natural leadership and confidence. The major political driver for a potential leadership change is the party's broken promise regarding income taxes, which severely undermines public trust before the next election, 1015-1030 Commodity Markets and UK Political Instability.

Carola Binder discusses the Austrian School of Economics, highlighting its focus on free markets and Ludwig von Mises's opposition to government "interventionism," including rent and price controls. Mises argued these policies distort markets, leading to shortages and inefficiency. Binder emphasizes Mises's belief that economic literacy is a primary civic duty necessary for citizens to reject socialism and interventionist panaceas, especially as new generations are exposed to such ideas. 1045-1100 Austrian Economics, Von Mises, and the Fight Against Interventionism.

THIRD HOUR 1100-1115 Philippine Missile Deployment to Deter China. Captain Jim Fanell reports that the Philippines unveiled its first operational BrahMos anti-ship cruise missile battery in western Luzon to deter Chinese aggression. This supersonic missile system, part of the $7.2 billion Reorizon 3 modernization program, gives the Philippines "skin in the game" near disputed waters like Scarborough Shoal. The deployment signifies a strategy to turn the Philippines into a "porcupine," focusing defense on the West Philippine Sea. The systems are road-mobile, making them difficult to target. 1115-1130 AI, Cyber Attacks, and Nuclear Deterrence. Peter Huessy discusses the challenges to nuclear deterrence posed by AI and cyber intrusions. General Flynn highlighted that attacks on satellites, the backbone of deterrence, could prevent the US from confirming where a launch originated. Huessy emphasizes the need to improve deterrence, noting that the US likely requires presidential authorization for retaliation, unlike potential Russian "dead hand" systems. The biggest risk is misinformation delivered by cyber attacks, although the US maintains stringent protocols and would never launch based solely on a computer warning. 1130-1145 Sudan Civil War, Global Proxies, and Nigerian Violence. Caleb Weiss and Bill Roggio analyze the civil war in Sudan between the SAF and the RSF, noting both factions commit atrocities, including massacres after the capture of El Fasher. The conflict is fueled by opposing global coalitions: the UAE and Russia support the RSF, while Iran, Egypt, and Turkey back the SAF. The Islamic State has called for foreign jihadis to mobilize. Weiss also addresses the complicated violence in Nigeria, differentiating jihadist attacks on Christians from communal farmer-herder conflict. 1145-1200 Sudan Civil War, Global Proxies, and Nigerian Violence.

The conflict is fueled by opposing global coalitions: the UAE and Russia support the RSF, while Iran, Egypt, and Turkey back the SAF. The Islamic State has called for foreign jihadis to mobilize. Weiss also addresses the complicated violence in Nigeria, differentiating jihadist attacks on Christians from communal farmer-herder conflict. FOURTH HOUR 12-1215 Corruption, Chinese Influence, and Protests in Serbia. Ivana Stradner discusses protests in Serbia demanding accountability one year after a canopy collapse killed 16 people, with investigations linking the accident to high-level corruption involving a Chinese company. Leader Vučić suppresses discontent by alleging the West is plotting a "color revolution." Although Vučić aligns his heart with Russia and China, he needs EU money for political survival, prompting him to offer weapons to the West and claim Serbia is on the EU path. 1215-1230 The Muslim Brotherhood and Its Global Network. Cliff May discusses the Muslim Brotherhood (MB), the progenitor of Hamas, founded in 1928 after the Ottoman Caliphate's abolition. The MB's goal is to establish a new Islamic empire. Qatar is highly supportive, hosting Hamas leaders, while the UAE and Saudi Arabia have banned the MB. Turkish President Erdoğan is considered MB-adjacent and sympathetic, supporting Hamas and potentially viewing himself as a future Caliph, despite Turkey being a NATO member. 1230-1245 Commercial Space Records and Political Impacts on NASA. Bob Zimmerman covers new records in commercial space: SpaceX achieved 147 launches this year, and one booster tied the Space Shuttle Columbia for 28 reuses. China also set a record with 70 launches but had a failure. Commercial space faced temporary impacts, such as an FAA launch curfew due to a government shutdown and air traffic controller shortages.

This week marks the finale of The Art of SBA Lending podcast, and Ray Drew brings it home by reuniting with his original mentors and colleagues from the era that shaped his career: the Mercantile Capital team. Listen as they reminisce about the "good old days" of 2011–2013, an era defined by reinventing business after the 2008 crash. The panel discusses how Mercantile Capital was built around the niche business of 504 interim lending (an industry they essentially invented). They recall the unique office culture, characterized by healthy competition, daily in-person mentoring sessions, frequent celebration of birthdays, and bizarre marketing tactics (shiny envelopes and stress-ball brains). The alumni highlight the competitive, yet collaborative, environment where young talent was actively taught the business. The episode features hilarious and nostalgic stories, including the infamous "Find My iPhone" conference incident involving a police car and a hungover apartment owner. Tony shares lessons learned from the creative ways he structured deals, while Carolyn explains how she fell in love with SBA lending by serving small business owners.

Ethereum hasn't reached full speed yet. Now it might. Justin Drake of the Ethereum Foundation outlines Lean Ethereum, a plan to optimise the stack so validators stop executing and start verifying. With zk proofs in under 12 seconds and on-prem provers around 10 kW, the base layer can reach gigagas capacity and roughly 10,000 TPS while getting more decentralized. Add Fossil, seconds-level finality, and post-quantum signatures, and the changes stick. We unpack the EthProofs race, the four-phase path to mandatory proofs, the three-times-a-year gas target in EIP-7938, and why native rollups could remove gas ceilings for L2s. If you're wondering whether Ethereum can scale without turning into a data center chain, this is the roadmap. ---

Welcome to another episode of HALO Talks! In today's episode, Integrity Square Founder and host Pete Moore sits down with Steve Marchese, the founder of LightStim, to dig into the transformative power of LED light technology and its growing role in med spas and wellness centers across the country. Steve shares the LightStim origin story, which was born out of a personal mission to help his own son combat dangerously high blood pressure when traditional medicine offered no solutions. What started as a family "Hail Mary" turned into years of rigorous innovation, FDA collaboration, and breakthroughs in the science of light therapy. The conversation touches on how LightStim developed from handheld devices for skincare to pioneering full-body LED beds, navigating ongoing regulatory controversies of LED and red light therapy, and the persistence needed to create products that truly deliver results. After a few years, Steve saw an opportunity to expand, developing adjustable facial panels for the professional market. This new direction quickly gained traction, and soon, his company was supplying advanced skincare technology to nearly 50,000 spas, med spas, and doctors' offices across the country. Pete and Steve discuss not only the science and technology "backbone" of the products, but also the entrepreneurial journey, the realities of protecting intellectual property, and the future of wellness tech in the HALO sector. Plus, Steve relays a very cool story about how LightStim helped NFL star Saquon Barkley make an unlikely comeback. (Just one example of the real-world results this technology can achieve!)  When they made the decision to build an LED bed, Steve states, "There really weren't any beds on the market at that time. We didn't know what it would do, but it was kind of our Hail Mary. The bed ended up taking us six years working directly with the FDA and millions of dollars to actually perfect it before we put it on the market." Key themes discussed Development and innovation of LED light therapy beds. FDA clearance and regulatory challenges for medical devices. Family-run business and entrepreneurial journey. Scientific explanations: ATP and nitric oxide impacts. Industry competition and copycat products. Legal risks and class action lawsuits. Med spa and HALO sector expansion. A Few Key Takeaways:  1. Persistence in Innovation Leads to Breakthroughs: Steve shared the challenges of developing LightStim—what began with handheld LED devices for wrinkles, acne, and pain, evolved into a full-body LED bed. The driving force was personal: Helping his son with dangerously high blood pressure when traditional medicine couldn't. This persistence, trial and error, and working closely with the FDA led to a patented technology that now serves both home consumers and professionals in 50,000+ locations. 2. Understanding Science Behind Red Light Therapy: The effectiveness of their LED bed wasn't mere luck. Initially Steve thought the improvement was due to increased ATP production in mitochondria. Later, with input from Dr. Nathan Bryan, he realized the real impact was in the release of nitric oxide, which relaxes blood vessels and lowers blood pressure. 3. Navigating Regulatory and Legal Landscapes: Getting FDA "clearance" (not "approval"—that's for drugs), especially for a full-body device, is an extremely rigorous process requiring through technical testing and proof of efficacy. Steve explained (some of the many) specific FDA requirements that go into this, such as needing to heat the whole body to the right temperature. Few competitors can actually demonstrate passing these tests, despite what they claim, and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is now aggressively policing unsubstantiated wellness claims. 4. Dealing with Competition and Copycats: When asked how he handles rivals with copycat products, Marchese emphasized focusing on building a trustworthy brand and continuing to innovate, rather than spending resources on chasing down every infringer. He pointed out that regulatory and legal scrutiny (from both the FTC and class action law firms) is also helping to weed out companies making unsupported claims. 5. Growth and Family-First Business Approach: LightStim is a classic case of a family-run business that managed to scale. Steve mentioned his wife runs the company as President and his son is now COO—showing a strong family dynamic and a personal connection to the business's mission. The company supports large-scale franchise partners and offers both purchase and leasing options for its products.

Lightning Round: Top 10 Ways to Increase Your Sales Effectiveness Question: Peter asks, "As sales continues to shift from a traditional B2B supplier perspective (products focus) toward a more retail customer centric focus, I'm very interested to know if it would be more effective for field sales teams to understand their business partners' buyers or key decision makers' KPIs (excluding monetary incentives)? By doing so, they could better collaborate and align their strategies to help those buyers or decision makers achieve their KPIs, while also driving sustained growth for all involved."

Emmaline Aliff of Equifax joins Dr. Amy Crews Cutts, Chief Economist at AC Cutts & Associates, to unpack the real costs and competitive dynamics of mortgage credit reporting. They dig into what the data actually shows about tri-merge pricing, lender negotiation power, fallout loans, and the entry of VantageScore.In this episode:What is the true cost of pulling a credit report for a mortgage?The cost of a mortgage credit report usually falls within a wide range—from around $40 up to about $240 per file, depending on factors like the number of borrowers and the products included (such as trended data or monitoring services). While some lenders cite an average cost around $155, the actual cost is often driven by how many borrowers are on the application, how many times credit is pulled, and which ancillary services are added.Why do lenders say credit reports are “too expensive”?Many lenders feel credit reports are expensive not because of the unit price, but because of fallout—loans that never close. When a lender pulls credit and the borrower doesn't complete the loan, the lender usually eats that cost. Unlike appraisals, credit report fees are often not collected upfront, so unrecovered costs on fallout loans can make credit reporting feel disproportionately expensive.How much does a credit report actually matter in the total cost of a mortgage?In the context of a full mortgage transaction, the credit report fee is typically a small fraction of total closing costs and prepaid expenses. Even if a report costs $60–$150, that's minimal compared to items like taxes, insurance, and appraisal fees. The real financial impact often comes from how credit information influences interest rates and approvals, not just the report fee itself.What is a tri-merge credit report and why does it exist?A tri-merge credit report combines data from the three nationwide credit reporting agencies—Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion—into one consolidated file. This helps:Reduce blind spots by capturing regional and portfolio differences between bureausGive investors and GSEs (Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac) a more complete view of borrower riskSupport underwriting models that rely on rich, multi-bureau data rather than a single viewTri-merge helps maintain investor confidence in mortgage-backed securities by reducing data gaps and gaming risk.

Scott Devitt examines Instacart (CART) earnings and the consumer delivery space. He calls the report itself “decent” but thinks that longer term it will continue to have more competition, especially from Amazon (AMZN) and Walmart (WMT). He has an Underweight rating on the stock. He thinks growth has been juiced by temporary promotions and expects only single digit growth in 2026. Scott also notes that DoorDash (DASH) and Uber (UBER) are both moving more into product delivery.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.
