PREVIEW — Brandon Weichert — Trump Administration Prioritizes Business Deals Over Military Strategy. Weichert predicts the incoming Trump administration will prioritize commercial business transactions and corporate profit objectives over rigorous military and geopolitical strategy, potentially authorizing high-end semiconductor chip sales to China despite critical American technological military advantage implications. Weichert warns that this approach, unchecked by a "compromised" Congress lacking geopolitical sophistication, suggests the administration may deliberately abandon strategic commitment to the "first island chain" (Japan, Taiwan, Philippines) to secure access to critical minerals and agricultural soybeans from Chinese-influenced suppliers. Weichert characterizes this as a fundamental erosion of American military dominance and regional security architecture in the Indo-Pacific.

Today on Wine After Work, I'm sitting down with someone whose work is unlike anything you've ever heard before — and exactly what so many women need: Michelle Boyde, Registered Master Hypnotist, subconscious expert, and the creator of The Alchemy Sequence™. Michelle specializes in helping visionary women who've walked away from "successful" careers — only to realize they're still operating from outdated identities and old rules that no longer fit. Through her transformational hypnotic work, she guides women through The Liminal Space — that electric, uncomfortable, deeply powerful territory between who you were and who you're becoming. In this conversation we dig into: ✨ What really happens in the liminal space (and why so many women get stuck there) ✨ Why your subconscious identity is the real bottleneck to stepping into your next-level life or business ✨ The truth about trying to recreate corporate success in "prettier packaging." ✨ How hypnosis dissolves old identities and clears the way for the truest version of you ✨ The moment Michelle knew she could never go back to her former career ✨ The surprising ways your body and mind sabotage expansion — and how to overcome it ✨ How The Alchemy Sequence™ works (and who it's for) ✨ Why your next evolution requires more than strategy — it requires a new identity Michelle has hypnotized over 1,000 people and brings a depth, clarity, and electric honesty that I know will land for so many of you. If you've ever felt like you left the job, but the job is still inside you — this episode is your invitation to shed the version of you that no longer fits. Connect with Michelle:

This episode explores the high-stakes balancing act logistics companies face as they navigate internal optimization against a backdrop of external chaos. We begin by analyzing the sharp drop in benchmark diesel prices as domestic refineries ramp up production, though experts warn of a potential oil super glut by 2026. In the cold chain sector, Lineage is combatting excess capacity by rolling out its LinOS system to generate $110 million in efficiency gains through automation. Meanwhile, the automotive logistics space sees strategic consolidation as RPM acquires PARS to create a comprehensive vehicle lifecycle platform that includes driveaway and titling services. Technological advancements continue as Daimler Truck and Torc Robotics integrate short-range LiDAR to bring autonomous freightliners to the North American market. However, carriers must remain vigilant on compliance, as the FMCSA has revoked 62% more ELDs this year, threatening immediate shutdowns for fleets using banned devices. Corporate governance takes center stage with the affirmed 20-year sentence for Slync.io's founder, serving as a stark reminder of the importance of fiduciary trust in freight tech. Finally, we examine the supply chain risks emerging from threatened tariffs on Mexico tied to a dispute over water deliveries that is already impacting Texas agriculture.

On one side of the world, a major corporate landlord is evicting tenants by jacking up rents by hundreds of dollars.On the other, its parent company is linked to Israeli bombs, genocide, and illegal settlements.This is the multibillion-dollar story of American Landmark — one of the country's most eviction-happy landlords — and Elco, a corporate powerhouse whose subsidiaries are tied to the Israeli military and far-right settler movements. It's even been cited by the UN for facilitating human rights violations.Thomas Birmingham spent months meeting the families at the mercy of American Landmark, interrogating the corporate landlords profiting off them, and examining the connection between one kind of displacement here in America and another thousands of miles away, in the West Bank and Gaza.His feature, "The Eviction Kings," is in the December issue of The Nation.

We explore how long-running global trends may be reversing, what that means for U.S. dominance, the future of international and emerging markets, the risks and opportunities created by AI and massive CapEx spending, the dollar's shifting role, and how investors should think about valuation, humility, and navigating a world where the economic “water” is changing.

Postgame show topics included: The third quarter doomed the Spurs, and there simply wasn't enough left in the tank to make any sort of real run Cleveland took 54 percent of its shots at the rim and scored 80 points in the paint. That's crazy, and a nearly impossible stat to overcome. The absence of Luke Kornet was obvious on the defensive end, but they badly missed his screening, rolling, passing and rebounding on the offensive end as well. This schedule is just nuts — basically like another Rodeo Road Trip — and San Antonio is going to have to take advantage of these two days off in New Orleans to refuel.

#EP322 Today on the Clean Power Hour, we dive into one of the biggest bottlenecks strangling the clean energy transition: the slow, messy world of zoning, permitting, and early-stage development. Our guests are Julia Wu and Anuj Saigal, co-founders of Spark AI, a Y Combinator-backed platform that has ingested and summarized nearly every zoning code, ordinance, and permitting pathway in the United States.Julia Wu is CEO and co-founder of Spark AI. She's a software engineer who cut her teeth at Microsoft, Apple (working on Siri), and Brex before founding Spark. Her background spans AI, natural language processing, and financial technology.Anuj Saigal is the co-founder of Spark AI and a veteran of the energy sector since 2010. He worked at the Department of Energy Loan Programs Office during the Obama administration, then moved through SunEdison, EVgo, and Natto (a video AI telematics company). Anuj has been a developer of utility-scale and distributed generation projects and understands the pain points of permitting and interconnection firsthand.Key Discussion Points:Spark AI uses large language models to aggregate zoning regulations, permitting requirements, local sentiment, and news articles for every jurisdiction in AmericaThree core use cases: early-stage greenfield site selection, monitoring projects in development for regulatory changes, and rapid acquisition due diligenceStandard Solar (Brookfield-owned) reduced acquisition diligence from months to one week, cutting time by 75%Dynamic Energy accelerated site screening while improving community sentiment risk assessmentUGE used Spark to assess a massive portfolio acquisition, determining which parcels had viable zoning pathsThe platform is LLM-neutral, easily swapping between OpenAI, Anthropic, DeepSeek, and other models to optimize for accuracy and speedUnlike off-the-shelf AI tools, Spark delivers consistency, accuracy, and citations developers need for trust-but-verify workflowsConnect with Anuj and Julia Julia Wu: https://www.linkedin.com/in/wu-julia/Anuj Saigal: https://www.linkedin.com/in/anujsaigal/Spark AI Website: https://www.sparkhq.ai/ Support the showConnect with Tim Clean Power Hour Clean Power Hour on YouTubeTim on TwitterTim on LinkedIn Email tim@cleanpowerhour.com Review Clean Power Hour on Apple PodcastsThe Clean Power Hour is produced by the Clean Power Consulting Group and created by Tim Montague.

#180: Pat sits down with Erik Owen, president and founder of Oak Hill Business Partners.  After 20 years in corporate roles at companies like M&I, Johnson Controls, and Rockwell, Owen realized the "corporate sweater" fit, but it was itchy as hell. That friction pushed him into entrepreneurship, where he launched Oak Hill and never looked back. Here's what you'll learn in this episode: How Owen positioned himself as a fractional CFO to get early traction How he evolved Oak Hill into a growth and exit advisory firm that helps owners build repeatable profits, sustainable growth, and ultimately a transferable business.  The Oak Hill business model – it operates like a design-build general contractor, owning the whole project and partnering with specialists to execute. His thoughts on marketing lead gen vs. general, brand building. Owen also shares his philosophy on real networking, the sacrifices behind his success, and what surprised him most about becoming an entrepreneur. Want to connect with Erik?

In this week's Gaslit Nation, Andrea and Kyiv-based journalist Terrell Starr discuss how American corporate oligarchs act like authoritarian regimes. It's a lot like Trump, Kushner, and their real estate buddy Steve Witkoff's plan to sell out Ukraine to Russia. Once again we're reminding you that the war against oligarchy here at home is global.  Amazon, one of the 37 donors who helped bankroll Trump's illegal and unnecessary ballroom, was exposed in an investigation by Rolling Stone for possibly causing a cancer cluster near one of its data centers in Oregon, an allegation the company denies, because they know, under Kremlin-backed mass-murdering Trump, escalating a war for oil in Venezuela, they will get away with it. This is the same Jeff Bezos who celebrated in the White House with Trump, Kushner, and the Saudis who murdered Washington Post writer and Saudi dissident Jamal Khashoggi. Democracy doesn't just die in darkness; it dies under cheap gold fixtures and chandeliers. We also discuss why both Trump and Putin need a war in Venezuela to distract from their corruption at home, how oligarch ownership of the press continues to hollow it out, and how much more Americans can take of this abuse and gaslighting. And yet, amid all this lawlessness, democracy defenders around the world are fighting back. Bolsonaro's escape plan got foiled as he faces 27 years in prison, New Yorkers joined other American cities and towns in shutting down Trump's gestapo, and MAGA continue to be punished for voting for him–with a recent poll showing one in four Trump voters are disappointed or regret their vote. Join us for Gaslit Nation's bonus show out Thursday as we debate whether America is ready for a woman president–and how to stop Kushner and Ivanka from winning the MAGA succession war to install Ivanka with the help of their dictator friends.

Corporate travel isn't easing back into old habits — it's reinventing itself, and hoteliers who cling to the past will lose business they didn't even know they were missing. I spoke with Lukasz Dabrowski, SVP of Global Supplier Relations at HRS Group, about why 2025 became the turning point for travel procurement and how 2026 will reward hotels that understand converged demand, Level 3 data, and real-time negotiation. On #NoVacancyNews, Lukasz breaks down why annual RFP cycles are disappearing, how "travel CEOs" use invoice-level data to renegotiate instantly, and what hotels must change to stay competitive as AI and real-time visibility reshape corporate buying behavior.

This week, another trip down memory lane as we revisit an episode from April with Dan Galpern, the CEO of DanceOne, who's managed to harness the explosion of interest in dance, into a thriving global brand. Summary:  We may not talk about them the same way we talk about basketball or baseball players, but make no mistake, dancers are elite athletes. Their training is intense, and the competition is fierce. And with Breakdancing at the Olympics, dance content flooding TikTok, and dance competition shows all over TV, there's never been more interest in the art-form. So how do you take that global phenomenon, and harness it into a global business?  Dan Galpern is the CEO of DanceOne. In 2023, the company was formed out of the merger between Break The Floor Productions and Star Dance Alliance, and it has become the premier producer of educational and competitive dance events, as well as the largest family of dance brands in the world.  Dan joins us to discuss DanceOne's plans for future expansion and growth, and how their global community is raising up the next generation of world-class dancers.  Highlights:The origins of DanceOne (3:48)Path from investor to CEO (5:41)DanceOne infrastructure (6:46)Building the DanceOne experience (8:11)The global appeal of dance (9:20)DanceOne event offerings (10:30)Growth opportunities (11:43)The power of dance (15:29)The DanceOne community (17:52)Goals for the future (20:00)Links:Dan Galpern LinkedInDanceOne LinkedInDanceOne WebsiteICR LinkedInICR TwitterICR Website Feedback:If you have questions about the show, or have a topic in mind you'd like discussed in future episodes, email our producer, joe@lowerstreet.co. 

On this week's episode of Wine After Work, I'm joined by someone whose heart, experience, and leadership style will resonate with so many of you Kelly Price, founder of ThriveHR, and a woman who built an entire career around empowering people to thrive at work. Kelly's journey started in hospitality at Marriott International, where she learned how to create meaningful experiences and make people feel seen. She carried that passion into the world of HR becoming a recruiter, Benefits Manager, Director of HR, and eventually a VP of HR. Along the way, she reduced turnover, strengthened cultures, and reshaped how companies took care of their people. But her biggest transformation came when she stopped molding herself to whatever company she worked for and instead discovered what she valued, believed, and wanted. Kelly calls it "figuring out my own flavor of Kool-Aid" and it changed everything: the clients she takes, the way she leads, the work she does, and the results she gets for the people and companies she supports. In this conversation, we dive into: ✨ How Kelly learned to lead from her values — not from corporate expectations ✨ The turning point that pushed her to step out and build ThriveHR ✨ Why so many women lose their identity in the workplace (and how to reclaim it) ✨ What she wishes every employee and every leader understood about people ✨ How HR has changed — and what companies must do differently to retain talent today ✨ The power of building a business that reflects who you actually are ✨ Why authenticity is the real ROI in leadership Kelly's energy is contagious, and her insights are a gift for anyone navigating career growth, leadership, or entrepreneurship. Whether you're building a business or defining a new chapter in your career, this episode will remind you that you don't need to fit anyone else's mold you only need to find your own flavor. About Kelly Price: Kelly Price is the founder of ThriveHR and a dynamic leader whose career reflects her deep passion for helping others succeed. After earning her Bachelor's degree in Hospitality Management from Kansas State University, she began her career at Marriott International, where her love for creating meaningful experiences was born. Kelly transitioned into Human Resources as a recruiter and quickly climbed the corporate ladder, serving as a Benefits Manager, Director of HR, and VP of HR. She has played a major role in reducing turnover, improving engagement, and reinventing people strategies across organizations. Today, as a small business owner, she uses her extensive HR background to help companies grow, engage, and retain their people with positivity, integrity, and heart.

Norman Solomon new book is The Blue Road to Trump Hell: How Corporate Democrats Paved the Way for Autocracy.

Starting a business after years in a traditional role can feel strangely uncomfortable, even when you're completely capable and deeply committed. The truth is, so much of what feels hard going from employee to entrepreneur has nothing to do with your ability or desire; it's about the patterns and habits those corporate roles unintentionally shaped in you over time. In this episode, you'll discover how to consciously grow into the CEO version of yourself, even if you're still in your nine-to-five. Through specific questions and practices, you'll learn to interrupt those old habits of urgency, perfectionism, and overworking. Most importantly, you'll understand that thinking like a CEO is what creates the business, not the other way around.

Crypto Winter vs. AI Substance — Elizabeth Peek — Peek argues that Bitcoin and cryptocurrency price fluctuations lack underlying economic valuation fundamentals, unlike equities where corporate earnings directly drive share valuations, rendering current market volatility economically inexplicable. Peek contrasts cryptocurrency speculation with artificial intelligence, which she characterizes not as speculative bubble but as a profound systemic transformation affecting how civilization functions at foundational levels. Peek emphasizes that despite elevated valuations for AIcompanies including Nvidia, the underlying technological transformation justifies substantial market capitalization, distinguishing AI from unsustainable cryptocurrency enthusiasm lacking intrinsic value generation mechanisms. 1910 NYC FINANCIALS

Corporate bond spreads, extra compensation that corporate bonds pay out compared to government bonds, have been narrowing this year, which means investors aren't demanding much additional money to account for additional credit risk. That could indicate that investors think economic growth could pick up in the near term. Also on the program: a trade deal regarding U.K. pharmaceuticals and OPEC's plans to keep oil production flat to start the new year.

Look out – the corporate cat is out of the bag!This particular “cat” is the fast-metastasizing software technology called “artificial intelligence.” A cadre of multibillion-dollar high-tech giants have surreptitiously been advancing AI for a couple of decades, literally creating a new, autonomous species of thinking beings. These are computer-powered humanoid bots, increasingly-able to do the intellectual, creative, managerial, and other complex jobs that millions of human beings now do.The billionaire pushers of this brave new bot economy know that this amounts to placing a neutron bomb in the American workplace, so they have intentionally lied about its job-obliterating impact. However, after years of hush-hush development, the AI technology is now so advanced and the corporate investment in it is so gargantuan that the perpetrators no longer care what the public thinks.This year, Amazon, Google, Meta, Microsoft, Oracle, and other Silicon Valley oligarchs have been feverishly dumping hundreds of billions of dollars each into a global corporate gold rush to supplant humans with AI bots in practically every economic sector. They expect to automate half of all entry-level white-collar jobs within five years. And one Silicon Valley outfit (bluntly named “Mechanize”) calculates that its plan “to fully automate work” can be acheived within 30 years. Indeed, BotWorld is now urging today's AI technology to create super-intelligent systems that can out-think humans. Yes – bots themselves are working to produce more powerful bots to speed up AI's bot takeover of work.This is Jim Hightower saying… If you think that, surely, this isn't really happening, note that Trump's GOP Congress recently imposed a 10-year ban on any state laws attempting to regulate AI. Just unleash the bots… and see what happens.Jim Hightower's Lowdown is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.
