In this episode, we dive deep into the evolving relationship between human creativity and artificial intelligence. Inspired by Ada Lovelace's early vision of creative machines, we explore how the boundaries between expertise and common sense have been reshaped by modern AI, from expert systems to today's generative models. We sit down with pioneers and practitioners—Vasant Dhar, a longtime AI researcher and author of Thinking With Machines; Christopher Mims, technology journalist and author of How To AI; and the creators of Tachi AI, Aden Bahadori and Brett Granstaff—to discover how AI is shifting not only what we make but how we make it.We unpack the promise and the pitfalls of treating AI as a true thinking partner, not just a tool for automation. Our guests share practical strategies for using AI to augment creative work, streamline tedious tasks, and enhance idea generation—while emphasizing the necessity of human framing, expertise, and judgment. Whether you're a leader, designer, marketer, or filmmaker, we reveal why using AI thoughtfully is the real competitive edge in creative fields and business.Five Key Learnings:AI's Compounding Edge: Utilizing AI consistently and benchmarking progress gives creatives and teams a multiplying advantage—not by replacing human originality, but by amplifying it through incremental improvements.Framing Questions Matter: The ability to ask the right, nuanced questions remains fundamentally human, and is essential when using AI as a partner in ideation, research, and strategy.Context and Expertise Are Critical: Experts benefit most from AI—leveraging their knowledge to dig deeper, validate outputs, and push beyond generic solutions, while ensuring originality in their work.AI as Scaffolding, Not a Substitute: The greatest value of AI today is in reducing friction and clearing time for creativity—whether it's summarizing information, managing knowledge, or prepping film edits—so humans can focus on what matters.Human-Centric, Supportive AI: Tools like Tachi AI demonstrate that supporting creativity is more transformative than automating it; AI as infrastructure enables faster iteration and more creative decision-making, not just higher productivity.Get full interviews and bonus content for free!

Are you looking to save time, make money, and start winning with less risk? Then head to https://www.ovtlyr.com.This video is all about one thing that decides whether trades work or fail: alignment between the market, the sector, and the stock. If those three are not pointing in the same direction, trading gets harder, drawdowns get deeper, and frustration ramps up fast. When they are aligned, trading feels cleaner, calmer, and far more consistent.A major point hammered home is how little control an individual stock actually has on its own. Roughly speaking, the market drives the biggest portion of price movement. The sector comes next. The stock itself is last. That means you can find what looks like a perfect setup, but if the market is weak or the sector is getting crushed, the odds are stacked against you before you even click buy.This is why cash is treated as a real position, not a failure. When the market is on a sell signal, the goal is not to be clever. The goal is to protect capital. Forcing trades in bad conditions is how accounts slowly bleed. Sitting in cash keeps risk low and leaves room to press when conditions improve.A lot of time is spent on options risk management, specifically rolling for credit. Rolling is not about trading more or being active for the sake of it. It is about reducing risk. Every roll for credit offsets the original cost of the trade, removes exposure, and locks in progress. Even if the trade completely collapses later, the damage is dramatically smaller than if nothing had been managed along the way.Another important concept is how winning streaks can actually be dangerous. After a run of good trades, many traders start sizing up, bending rules, or assuming the next trade will behave like the last one. That is usually when losses hit hardest. Each trade is independent. The market does not care what happened yesterday. Discipline matters most when confidence is high.Volatility and structure also matter, especially with options. Leveraged ETFs, wide bid ask spreads, low open interest, and volatility drag can all distort pricing. If you do not understand how these forces work, options can move against you even when the stock looks fine on the surface.Here are the key ideas covered in detail:✅ Market direction matters more than any single stock setup✅ Sector strength can amplify gains or completely cap them✅ Stock setups only work best when market and sector agree✅ Cash is a strategic position when conditions are poor✅ Rolling options for credit removes risk instead of chasing upside✅ Partial profits protect accounts during pullbacks✅ Winning streaks increase risk if discipline slips✅ Volatility drag impacts leveraged ETFs over time✅ Liquidity and spreads directly affect option performanceThe OVTLYR framework is used throughout to keep decisions objective. Signals are not predictions. They are filters. If alignment is missing, the answer is simple: do nothing. If alignment is present, risk can be taken with intention instead of hope.This approach strips trading down to its core. Protect capital first. Trade when conditions are favorable. Manage risk aggressively. Let winners run without getting emotional. The goal is not excitement. The goal is survival and consistency over time.Gain instant access to the AI-powered tools and behavioral insights top traders use to spot big moves before the crowd. Start trading smarter today

David Bach joins Steve Chen to discuss the evolution of The Automatic Millionaire and his newest idea, the IRA Flat Tax, which aims to rethink how Americans use their retirement savings. Bach explains that decades of automation have helped millions accumulate wealth, but most retirees now delay spending their money until required minimum distributions, leaving trillions of dollars idle. He proposes a limited window allowing early retirement withdrawals at a flat tax rate to encourage spending, improve retiree quality of life, and stimulate the economy. The conversation also explores the difficulty of shifting from saving to spending, the importance of enjoying wealth while health allows, and how AI is reshaping financial planning without replacing the need for human guidance, reinforcing Bach's long-held belief that money is ultimately a tool to support a better life.

Send us a textEpisode 3 of Inside the Family Office: Live Investor PanelReal family office practitioners and allocators share how they structure deals, protect families, and think about wealth:  John, who works inside a single family office's trust company, explains how they custody over $70B in assets with a focus on alternative assets inside self-directed IRAs, Roth IRAs, HSAs, and solo 401(k)s. He walks through real examples of using these vehicles to buy property and earn profits with zero tax, and why he's obsessed with Roth structures for families and principals. John also touches on recent policy interest in alternatives within retirement plans and the explosive growth in investors seeking non-correlated assets. Dr. Cook closes with her own experience allocating Roth capital into crypto and other alternatives.

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.theflyingfrisby.comThis has been for ages one of those things that has been going to happen that never actually happens.But on Monday there were signs it is actually going to happen.I'm talking about some kind of financial crisis in Japan, whether in its currency, its debt markets or a bit of both. Because it's so far away, we tend to overlook in Western Europe what a big deal Japan is: but it's the world's 4th largest economy - only the US, China and Germany have greater GDP.But its debt-to-GDP is 230% - 4 times Germany's (~63%), more than double the UK's (100%) and almost double the US's (~124%). But it has sustained these “unsustainable” levels for so long it's now normal. Shorting the yen has been the great widow maker.In addition to roughly $10 trillion of government debt, Japan also carries around $8 trillion of non-financial sector debt, including corporate and household borrowing. This is not new. What may be new is the market's willingness to continue absorbing it at the margin.On Monday Japan Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi called a snap election for February 8th, seeking a stronger mandate for her coalition government. She has high approval ratings, I read, and is looking to capitalise on them, restoring the Liberal Democratic Party's majority in the powerful lower house. Even so, though she is favourite, this is also a gamble.If you live in a third world country such as the UK, I urge you to own gold or silver. The pound will be further devalued. The bullion dealer I recommend is The Pure Gold Company. Pricing is competitive, quality of service is high. They deliver to the UK, the US, Canada and Europe or you can store your gold with them. More here.Takaichi will run on a platform of more stimulus. The worry is how she “pays” for her proposed cuts to food taxes. It's not totally unlike the Liz Truss situation, when she proposed tax cuts without material cuts to spending.How much is enough?I just don't get it with governments. Something doesn't have the desired effect. Instead of stopping and reassessing, they do more. Ooh, this petrol isn't putting out the fire. Let's add more petrol.But the result of her announcement was that Japanese borrowing costs rose sharply to all-time highs (again). 30-year yields posted their biggest daily jump since 2003, and 10-year yields surged 19 basis points. Not quite such a record breaking rise but the sharpest since 2022.Japan's bond market, long regarded as the safest and dullest corner of global finance, is suddenly being treated as risky. Compounding the problem is the fact that Japanese insurers, historically reliable buyers of long-dated bonds when yields rose, have become net sellers. That removes a key stabilising force.Charlie Morris monthly gold report, Atlas Pulse is, in my view, the best gold newsletter out there. Get your copy here. No pay nada.At some point the Bank of Japan may step in and buy bonds to calm things down. That's what usually happens. The risk, however, is that Japan is deemed even more fiscally permissive, the yen weakens further, and inflationary pressures stoke.If the yen carry trade unravels - that is the financial world borrowing Japanese yen at low rates and using the money to invest elsewhere - then everything unravels, and we get the 2020s version of 2008. It's been threatening to happen a long time, but it never quite does. But hot money - aka liquidity - will get sucked out of everything from gold and silver to the stock market to the bond markets to bitcoin, and the world gets a massive margin call. The bottom line is that this raises the risk of more global market volatility. If Japan, long the calmest corner of global finance, becomes unstable, everything priced on the assumption of low and stable interest rates needs to repice. Risk-on flips to risk-off. Speculative assets get hit.Add all the Greenland stuff to the mix and everything looks very shaky all of a sudden.Periods like this are not necessarily about bold calls. They're about deciding where you refuse to be sloppy. So I am taking some action.

Think your cash is safe sitting in a traditional bank? Think again. Centralized banks profit from your deposits while offering little protection or growth. Long before banks dominated the financial system, mutual whole life insurance companies provided unmatched stability, guaranteed growth, and security that will last generations.  In this episode of the Private Banking Strategies Podcast, Vance Lowe and Seth Hicks Esq., reveal why these policies beat IRAs and 401(k)s, how compounding growth will supercharge your cash, and why keeping your money in the right insurance policies—not banks—will give you true long-term financial control. Whether you're seeking true financial freedom, wealth preservation, or a smarter approach – this podcast reveals the strategies banks don't want you to know about. Seth and Vance discuss: Before centralized banks: the power of mutual whole life insurance companies Why these policies offer unmatched stability compared to IRAs and 401(k)s  How compounding growth accelerates your wealth over time The smart strategy: keeping your money in policies instead of banks Resources: To Schedule a Call with Vance, Click the Link Below: https://go.oncehub.com/VanceLowe To learn more about Private Banking Strategies®, download a copy of our E-book today: https://privatebankingstrategies.com/resources/free-e-book/

The darkness must be transmuted to light.Not avoided. Transmuted.My dad told me he was trapped in the prison of his own mind—one of the most torturous things humans put themselves through. But here's what nobody tells you: if you were handed everything you ever wanted right now, you'd enjoy it for six months, maybe a year, then realize it was handed to you. You didn't work for it. You wouldn't want your destiny handed to you. You wouldn't.When you're caught in a riptide, you can't force yourself back to shore. You swim horizontal, wait it out, be patient. Bamboo stays underground 10x longer than it grows visible. That's the transmutation—feeling the depths to convert stored energy. When forgotten trauma surfaces? That's a healthy sign. Keep doing what you're doing. Compounding works for and against you. Light compounds. Dark compounds.This episode reveals why forcing creates energetic blockages, how to transmute unconscious pain through integrity and presence, and the power of feeling the depths. The individual creates the world. You are another and another is you. Listen if you're ready to stop forcing and start transmuting.New episodes out every Monday and Thursday at 10 AM Eastern TimeGet The Book - https://go.justinegliskis.com/The Greek God Physique Strategy Session - https://calendly.com/egliskiscapital/greek-god-physique-strategy-callJoin 497+ https://signup.justinegliskis.com/Email egliskis@pm.me to get in contact with meDiscover a podcast designed for entrepreneurs and solopreneurs navigating the challenges of entrepreneurship, offering insights on stress management, health and wellness, and overcoming imposter syndrome, while emphasizing work-life balance, energy alignment, and inner peace; explore topics like burnout recovery, business automation, scaling a business, business growth strategies, client management, mental resilience, overcoming anxiety, and achieving clearer thinking for sustainable success, using the blade of awareness, solving emotional dysfunction and unveiling the trickster within.

Kiana Danial is a social media finance educator, personal finance expert, and the author of Triple Compounding For Dummies, as well as previous “For Dummies” books on forex and cryptocurrency. She went from accidentally making $10,000 trading forex during the 2008 crash to working on Wall Street, losing everything on one bad trade, and ultimately building a multi‑income‑stream business teaching people how to invest wisely without treating the markets like a casino. In this episode, she breaks down her “triple compounding” framework and why most traders and would‑be investors are skipping the most important step: investing in themselves first. On this episode we talk about: How Kiana accidentally made $10,000 during the 2008 market crash while studying electrical engineering in Japan Why she left forex trading after one over‑leveraged trade wiped out years of profits The truth about retail forex, “copy trading,” and why most people lose money What “triple compounding” really means: you, your business/income, then external assets Why investing in skills, identity, and income comes before stocks, crypto, or any market How entrepreneurs making seven figures can still end up broke if they don't compound correctly The trap of hoarding small nest eggs vs. using them to upgrade your earning potential Why saving $0.06 per gallon on gas matters less than learning a skill that adds $100k+ to your income Top 3 Takeaways The first and most important investment is you—your identity, skills, mindset, and financial literacy—because without that, you will misuse any strategy or asset class you touch. Triple compounding stacks three layers: invest in yourself, then in a controllable income engine (job or business), and only then in external assets you cannot control (stocks, crypto, real estate, etc.). If it took you years to save $10k, your problem is income, not portfolio allocation; focus on increasing your earning power before obsessing over whether to get 8% vs. 10% in the market. Notable Quotes “If this were truly an automatic 10–15% per month, why isn't Warren Buffett doing it?” “You can't make money you don't have work for you—you have to raise your income first.” “It took eight years of compounding skills to become an ‘overnight success.'” ✖️✖️✖️✖️

In this edition of Essential, we've got concerns about the FDA's revolving door, some issues with a new California law that might affects the whole country, and a new accreditation that might save a lot of headache. Then we take a deep dive into the once and future world of compounded peptides — where they are, and where they might be going … and why.

Are you looking to save time, make money, and start winning with less risk? Then head to https://www.ovtlyr.com.Let's be honest. Everyone has seen those YouTube videos that promise “buy these 10 stocks and you'll be rich” or “set it and forget it millionaire portfolio.” This video takes that idea and flips it on its head.Instead of sitting through a 40-minute sales pitch packed with stories and justifications, this breakdown gets straight to what actually matters if you want to make money in the market. Price. Trend. Fear and greed. That's it. No hype. No fantasy portfolios. Just a clear look at whether these so-called wide moat compounding stocks are actually worth touching right now.The video pulls a popular list of stocks straight from the comments and ranks them honestly, from Lambo to food stamps. Some names look decent. Some look stuck. Some are absolute traps if you're buying them for the wrong reasons. This isn't about whether a company is “great” or whether you like the story. It's about whether the stock is positioned to go up.One of the biggest takeaways is how much the market and sector matter. Roughly 40 percent of a stock's move comes from the overall market. About 30 percent comes from the sector. Only the last piece comes from the stock itself. That explains why amazing companies can still bleed money when the environment is wrong. If the wind isn't at your back, you're fighting uphill.You'll also see a deep dive into fear and greed, market breadth, buy and sell signals, and why overhead resistance keeps showing up in the same places again and again. These aren't random lines on a chart. They represent real people who are stuck, emotional, and ready to sell the moment they get back to breakeven.Here's what you'll walk away with after watching:✅ Why price is the only thing that actually pays you as an investor✅ How market, sector, and stock alignment creates easy trades✅ Why buying “cheap” stocks in downtrends usually ends badly✅ How fear turns into greed before big moves happen✅ What crashing up really looks like compared to crashing downThe video covers major names like ASML, Amazon, Visa, Mastercard, GE, Taiwan Semiconductor, Netflix, and more. One stock clearly stands out as the strongest setup. Others show exactly why patience matters and why forcing trades is expensive. Watching these side by side makes the difference between good setups and bad ones painfully obvious.Another big theme here is simplicity. You don't need to dig through financial statements, revenue models, or long-term stories to get paid. If price is rising and greed is increasing, that's where opportunity lives. If fear is rising and trends are breaking, that's when you step aside and protect capital.This is where OVTLYR fits in. The entire goal is to make these signals obvious so you can avoid major drawdowns and focus on stocks that actually want to move higher. Skipping a 20 percent loss can be just as powerful as catching a big winner.If you want trading to feel boring, repeatable, and stress-free, this video is worth your time. Watch how each stock is evaluated, compare the setups, and start thinking in probabilities instead of promises.Gain instant access to the AI-powered tools and behavioral insights top traders use to spot big moves before the crowd.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Stephen Parr and Louis R. Avallone. This is the full show for December 29, 2025. 0:30 The Trump administration is making it clear that nothing is off the table — including student loans. After years of COVID-era pauses and repeated promises of mass loan forgiveness under Democrats, the Department of Education is restarting enforcement in a big way. Beginning January 7, 2026, borrowers who have been in default for at least 270 days will start receiving wage-garnishment notices, with up to 15% of their pay withheld after a mandatory 30-day warning period. This move is about restoring accountability after Washington trained millions of borrowers to believe student loans would never have to be repaid. Federal control of student lending exploded college costs, trapped borrowers in debt they can’t discharge through bankruptcy, and unfairly shifted the burden onto taxpayers — especially working-class Americans who paid their loans responsibly, chose cheaper schools, or skipped college entirely. Critics warn it could anger some young voters, but others see it as long-overdue fairness: if you borrowed the money, you repay it. The larger message is unmistakable — consequences are back, and the federal government may finally be stepping out of the student loan business altogether. 9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know. The US struck a Venezuelan port over the weekend. The department of Justice says the suspect in the attempted bombings of both the Republican and Democratic National Headquarters in Washington D.C. on January 5th, 2021 has confessed. California has dropped its lawsuit against the Trump Administration for pulling funding from it's high speed train project. 12:30 Get Performlyte from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 13:00 An independent journalist’s reporting is putting a harsh spotlight on staggering incompetence and massive fraud inside Minnesota’s daycare subsidy system. YouTuber Nick Shirley released video showing dozens of state-funded daycare centers, primarily in Minneapolis’ Somali community, that are allegedly being paid to care for large numbers of children, in some cases as many as 95 per location, despite no children being visible on site. If accurate, the scale of the alleged fraud could total hundreds of millions of dollars. While some aspects of Shirley’s approach have drawn criticism for being overly sensational, the core reporting raises serious questions the state has yet to answer. Locked doors, blacked-out windows, and empty facilities don’t automatically prove wrongdoing, but the absence of clear evidence that these centers are operating as claimed is alarming. Compounding the issue is Governor Tim Walz’s shifting response — initially dismissing calls for scrutiny as racist, only for his office later to claim the state has been investigating the issue for years. The contradiction fuels concerns that political defensiveness, rather than transparency, has defined Minnesota’s handling of the situation. 16:00 American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson tackle a timeless and uncomfortable question: do people ever really grow out of being bullies? Drawing from personal experience, the Mamas reflect on how bullying doesn’t always disappear with age — it often just changes form. From middle school hallways to college campuses and even retirement communities, the same cliques, cruelty, and power plays can resurface decades later. The conversation explores the difference between “mean girls” and true bullying, and how time and perspective can turn anger into compassion — especially for those who do the work to grow and evolve. If you'd like to ask our American Mamas a question, go to our website, AmericanGroundRadio.com/mamas and click on the Ask the Mamas button. 23:00 Newly declassified documents confirm what many suspected about the 2022 FBI raid on Mar-a-Lago: even the FBI did not believe it had probable cause, but moved forward anyway under intense pressure from the Biden Justice Department. Agents raised concerns about the legality and optics of the raid, yet those objections were dismissed in a single-minded effort to “get Trump,” regardless of constitutional limits or institutional damage. 26:30 We Dig Deep into new data that challenges a long-standing talking point on the left about illegal immigrant crime. According to a New York Post column by Dr. John Lott Jr., Department of Homeland Security data shows that illegal immigrants make up roughly 14 percent of those incarcerated in New York—despite representing only a small fraction of the state’s population. That translates to conviction rates nearly three times higher than those of native New Yorkers, including serious violent and sexual offenses. Lax border enforcement sends a dangerous message that the law is optional—starting at the border and spreading everywhere else. Sanctuary policies shield criminals from ICE, driving up crime and forcing taxpayers to absorb massive costs for incarceration, healthcare, and welfare support. 32:00 Get Prodovite Plus from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 32:30 Activist groups are calling on AT&T to cut ties with federal agencies like DHS, ICE, and Customs and Border Protection, as if enforcing immigration law is a moral crime. These pressure campaigns have real-world consequences. AT&T has worked with the federal government for decades and severing those contracts would likely cost American jobs with no effect on immigration enforcement itself. 36:00 New research links the decline of religious participation in the United States to a rise in what researchers call “deaths of despair,” including suicides, drug overdoses, and alcohol-related disease. According to a study published in the Journal of the European Economic Association, these troubling mortality trends began increasing in the early 1990s, following a measurable drop in faith and religious engagement. Practices tied to religion—such as prayer, meditation, moral reflection, and community worship—help strengthen emotional regulation, resilience, and a sense of meaning. When those practices fade, they are often replaced by substitutes that offer stimulation without purpose, distraction without fulfillment, or treatment without addressing the deeper spiritual void. Faith is more than preparation for the next life. It is a source of comfort, connection, and stability in this one, and that's a Bright Spot. 39:30 We break down Nancy Pelosi’s decision to tear up President Trump’s State of the Union address. The act was not merely a political jab at Trump, but a direct insult to the institution of the presidency, Congress, and the American people. 41:30 And we finish off with a record-breaking kiss under the mistletoe that will make you say, "Whoa!"

Math doesn't lie — and it exposes why saving alone keeps you stuck.   In this powerful segment of The Abundance Mindset, Vinney Chopra and Gualter Amarelo break down the math behind wealth using one simple concept: the Rule of 72. Vinney shows how low returns stretch wealth-building timelines into decades, while strategic returns compress them into years. Gualter brings real-life examples, from education investments to seller financing, showing how intentional deployment changes everything.   Vinney Smile Chopra emphasizes that wealth is not about chasing risk — it's about understanding return, compounding, and positioning your capital wisely. Gualter shares how investing in education and mentorship produced exponential returns that no savings account could ever match. Together, they explain why wealthy people review their portfolios, reposition buckets, and allow money to work harder than they do.   What listeners will take away:

Global IT spending is projected to reach its highest level in 30 years, driven primarily by investments in artificial intelligence (AI) and cloud services. According to a report from the International Data Corporation, spending on hardware, software, and IT services is expected to rise by 14%, marking the fastest growth rate since 1996. However, the benefits of this spending surge are not being realized by Managed Service Providers (MSPs), as hyperscalers dominate the market by building extensive AI infrastructure and integrated platforms. This shift in control raises questions about the future value proposition for MSPs, who may find themselves increasingly marginalized.Small businesses are experiencing hiring challenges despite a reported increase in job growth plans. The National Federation of Independent Business Jobs report indicates that 33% of small business owners have unfilled job openings, with 19% planning to create new jobs in the next three months. However, 56% of these businesses attempted to hire in November, with half citing a lack of suitable candidates. Compounding this issue, federal statistical agencies are facing significant staffing and budget cuts, leading to a decline in the availability of reliable economic data. This erosion of data could hinder small businesses' ability to make informed hiring and investment decisions.In a notable leadership change, Jim Siders has been appointed CEO of Shield Technology Partners, an IT services platform focused on integrating AI with operational expertise. Siders aims to enhance service delivery through AI innovations, positioning Shield as a vital resource for businesses in sectors like construction and healthcare. This move reflects a broader trend of IT services being restructured as AI-driven platforms rather than traditional roll-ups, emphasizing the importance of operational discipline and clean data in leveraging AI effectively.The episode highlights a concerning trend in corporate spending on AI, where companies allocate 93% of their budgets to technology and only 7% to the people who will utilize it. This imbalance can lead to a decline in trust among employees and an increase in the use of unapproved AI tools, complicating compliance and operational efficiency. For MSPs and IT service leaders, the key takeaway is the necessity to shift focus from merely adopting technology to fostering a disciplined approach to AI integration, emphasizing governance, workflow redesign, and clear decision-making boundaries to ensure that clients can navigate the complexities of AI effectively. Four things to know today00:00 Global IT Spending Hits 30-Year High as AI and Cloud Investments Accelerate, IDC Reports05:24 Small Businesses Plan More Hiring but Still Can't Find Qualified Workers, NFIB Reports08:33 Shield Names Former Palantir CIO Jim Siders CEO as It Builds an AI-First IT Services Platform With OpenAI and Thrive11:19 Deloitte: Lopsided AI Spending, Declining Trust, and Shadow AI Signal a Growing Management Failure This is the Business of Tech.     Supported by:  https://saasalerts.com/mspradio/

Taiwan is home to numerous natural disasters and other threats, making civil defense a top priority. Compounding matters, many people don't know how to prepare, or understand what to do when calamity strikes. Meeting this challenge is the Resilience Roadmap, from longtime resident John Groot.

Stop hiding behind the glass screen. Your nervous system knows the difference between a pixel and a handshake, and so does your client's. In a world sedated by the comfort of remote work, we are seeing a massive System Error in how deals get done. You cannot test drive a private jet on Zoom. If you want the signature, you need to be in the room where the oxygen is. In this episode, we sit down with Glenn Poulos, a veteran operator who doesn't just play the game; he writes the code. With forty years of tenure and multiple eight-figure exits, Glenn isn't offering fluff. He is offering a masterclass in Biological Leverage and Operational Architecture. We strip away the "hustle" mythology to look at the physics of high performance, moving from the entropy of Chaos to the precision of EOS (Entrepreneurial Operating System). We are going to recode your approach to the deal. Glenn breaks down the lethal difference between "people first" and "structure first," and why getting that order wrong is a bankruptcy-level event. We also deploy the blueprints for integrating AI not as a replacement, but as a voltage multiplier for your bandwidth, allowing you to focus on the high-stakes human connection that actually moves the needle. Here is the Protocol Upgrade you will install today: Override the "Powers That Be": Why waiting for approval is a broken operating system, and how to physically map out and confront every decision-maker in the chain (the 24-hour Steel Mill case study). From Chaos to EOS: How to identify when your business is running on a System Error and the architectural changes needed to stabilize your revenue. The Somatic Truth of Sales: Why big tickets only get punched face-to-face, and why you need to get your boots on the ground to respect the biology of the deal. AI as Leverage: Using machine intelligence to handle the low-frequency noise so your nervous system can handle the high-frequency signal. The suit respects the arena, but the barefoot respects the biology. It's time to stop submitting tickets and start writing the software.   Find out more about Glenn here: https://glennpoulos.com/

In the years following Jeffrey Epstein's death, the value of his estate steadily eroded as it became the focal point of mounting legal pressure and survivor claims. Multiple lawsuits, including the U.S. Virgin Islands' civil action and a wave of individual suits brought by survivors, triggered enormous legal expenses that quickly began draining estate resources. At the same time, the creation of the Epstein Victims' Compensation Program authorized substantial payouts to hundreds of claimants, committing large sums of money early in the process. Although the estate was initially reported to hold hundreds of millions of dollars on paper, that figure proved highly misleading once legal fees, settlements, and administrative costs were factored in.Compounding the drain were asset liquidity problems and prolonged litigation that limited the estate's ability to convert property into cash without steep losses. High-profile assets such as Little St. James failed to sell at their initial inflated valuations, while ongoing disputes over financial disclosures further slowed the process. Critics noted that the estate repeatedly emphasized dwindling funds when resisting discovery or additional claims, even as significant sums continued flowing to lawyers, accountants, and administrators. By the time major litigation phases concluded, Epstein's once-massive fortune had been substantially reduced, leaving a bitter contrast between how aggressively the estate defended itself and how quickly its resources evaporated once forced to confront real accountability.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.
