This week on Inside the Economy, we address stock market performance, corporate America, current trade and tariff developments, and government debt. The S&P 500 posted its best May performance in 35 years, challenging the old saying, “Sell in May and go away.” Which companies led the index during this rally? How have capital expenditures evolved among large technology firms in recent years? We also explore how Asian economies have significantly increased their net purchases of U.S. bonds and stocks since 1997—a trend largely driven by their export relationships with the U.S. and subsequent investments in U.S. Treasuries. Has this pattern changed since the onset of trade tensions? Finally, as tariffs increase the cost of imported goods and services, could businesses begin passing those costs on to consumers? Tune in to learn more! Key Takeaways: • Unemployment at 4.2% • 30-year bond yield at 4.95% • U.S. Debt-to-GFP ratio is 123% as of April 2025

Have you ever caught yourself wondering, How did I get here? You're doing all the right things, checking off the to-do list, showing up for everyone else but somehow, your own joy feels like an afterthought. In this episode of the Total Health in Midlife Podcast, I sit down with Debbie Heiser, Chief Igniter of The Lit Up Life, to talk about what it really takes to build a business and a life that feels fully aligned and lit up from the inside out. Debbie and I talk about what it means to live in integrity with yourself while making good money doing work you love. We explore how so many of us, especially women, have been conditioned to downplay what we want, to stay small, and to avoid being "too much." Debbie shares how learning to own your desires, trust your decisions, and flip the script on guilt and second-guessing can completely transform not just your business, but your sense of freedom and purpose. I also loved diving into our relationship with money and productivity, how we're praised for being busy, and how we often sacrifice self-care in favor of checking things off the list. Debbie shares her personal story of replacing a goal to “lose weight” with a much more inspiring vision: skiing at age 80. That simple mindset shift led her to take action with joy, not dread something I know so many of us need to hear. If you've been feeling stuck, burned out, or unsure of what the next phase of your life or business should look like, this conversation will help you reconnect with your inner compass. It's not about hustling harder, it's about stepping into your clarity, honoring what lights you up, and creating a life that supports who you really are. About Debbie Heiser: Debbie Heiser is the Chief Igniter at The Lit Up Life; helping men and women make a lot of money, doing what they love without sacrificing what's important to them. She loves helping people transform so they can lead a juicy, lit up life. She also teaches leadership at Gonzaga University, drawing on her 20+ years as an executive in Corporate America. Get full show notes and more information here: https://elizabethsherman.com/226 WHAT YOU'LL LEARN How to identify what you truly want beyond the labels, roles, and people-pleasing, and design a business that supports the life you envision. Why busy doesn't equal productive, and how shifting to inspired, values-aligned action can create more freedom, joy, and financial success. How to reframe your relationship with money, trust your own decisions, and confidently take up space without guilt or apology.

The rainbows are still up, the hashtags still trending, but the joy feels a little quieter. Why? Because while we celebrate visibility, MAGA is waging an all-out war on it. Corporate America? Folding faster than a lawn chair. Companies once flaunting rainbows are now cowering in the face of backlash, choosing profit over principle. Because apparently, “inclusion” is only marketable when it's easy. So if you're angry, you're not alone. If you're scared, you're not alone. And if you're ready to fight back? You're exactly where you need to be.
What if cultural relevance isn't just a marketing strategy but a business imperative? In this episode, I speak with Hernan Tagliani, a multicultural marketing expert, award-winning strategist for Fortune 500 companies, and author of The Hispanic Market for Corporate America and Multicultural Mainstream, that explains how brands can drive lasting growth by truly understanding and serving Hispanic consumers. Born and raised in Buenos Aires, Hernan shares how he rebuilt his career from the ground up after moving to the U.S., started his agency with a single client, and went on to lead multicultural strategy for some of the world's most recognizable brands. His approach? Culture before language. Data before assumptions. And storytelling that builds trust, not just transactions. We explore: Why many brands are missing out on long-term growth by overlooking multicultural strategy The biggest myths corporate leaders still believe about U.S. Hispanic consumers Why translating a campaign isn't enough and how “transcreation” builds loyalty across generations How Hernan helped a national brand go from pilot campaign to national success by earning trust first What it takes to create a brand that reflects, and respects, the communities it serves How AI and digital media are reshaping what it means to be culturally relevant in real time Hernan also shares personal insights on leadership, reinvention, and why taking risks, even when it's uncomfortable, is key to becoming a purpose-driven entrepreneur. Whether you're building a brand, scaling a business, or trying to connect with today's fastest-growing consumer segment, this episode offers practical strategies and a powerful reframe on what it means to lead with culture, not just campaigns.

Changing Self-Limiting Beliefs/Self-Limiting Beliefs You are not alone if you feel frustrated and often befuddled about why you take actions and don't take actions that work against you achieving your goals and reaching your vision. This is a mysterious phenomenon many human beings experience. Moving from private practice in the mental health industry as a Licensed Clinical Marriage and Family Therapist into work as a business coach and consultant was not that far of a stretch. Business owners exhibit similar patterns as those on therapy coaches of engaging in behaviors that sabotage what they are trying to build. Many mental health therapists are equipped to recognize and address self-destructive patterns, but their limited industry-specific and general business knowledge handicaps them from being ideal resources for business leaders. Traditional business coaches and consultants often have a superficial understanding of self-limiting beliefs and the negative impact on effective goal achievement. But when the roots of those beliefs start to surface, these professionals are out of their zone of expertise with how to guide the business learners towards a successful resolution. Our speaker today has blended a background in business with a degree in Business Administration and Marketing Degree, five years working in Corporate America, and over twenty years as a small business owner in her Marriage and Family Therapy practice. She brings the right experience, expertise, and skills to go deeper with her business clients when situations warrant, which is more often than people realize. And much of the deeper work revolves around identifying and changing self-limiting beliefs. I am Christina Marie Weber, CEO, and Founder of Christian Biz Owners on Fire.

Is the water you drink every day silently poisoning you—and everyone else on the planet? As toxic “forever chemicals” (PFAS) force regulators and law firms into unprecedented environmental litigation, are we doing enough to protect public health and our communities? This isn't just an environmental debate—it's a real-world legal crisis with real implications. In this episode of Cut to the Chase: Podcast, Gregg welcomes Katrina McGowan, director and producer of the eye-opening documentary “How to Poison a Planet”. Katrina is on the front lines of uncovering global PFAS contamination and the corporate cover-ups behind it. We brought her on to expose how this environmental catastrophe is driving landmark litigation—and why legal professionals must pay attention. Did you know “forever chemicals” are now detected in 98% of human blood around the world—including newborns and even polar bears in the Arctic? And yet, many governments (and industries) are still pretending there's nothing to see here. Listen in as Katrina reveals the dramatic journey behind her film, real stories from legal battles with chemical giants, and exclusive insights on the urgent role lawyers play in environmental justice. What you'll learn in this episode: Why PFAS (“forever chemicals”) are everywhere—from firefighting foam to your drinking water The real story: Katrina's inspiration, research, and shocking revelations while making How to Poison a Planet The human impact: Uncovering health crises in contaminated communities like Wreck Bay, Australia Behind-the-scenes: How lawyers in the U.S. and Australia brought accountability to global corporations (3M and more) Corporate cover ups revealed—what internal documents finally showed about industry knowledge and intent Challenges faced: Government denial and resistance, public ignorance, and regulatory loopholes Screening the documentary for policymakers and its impact on pushing regulatory change Steps individuals and law firms can take to protect themselves and their clients now Key Takeaways: Spread Awareness: Most people don't know about PFAS risks. Help educate your community. Act Together: Collective efforts—legal, civic, or grassroots—can pressure companies and regulators to act. Demand Transparency: Exposing hidden information can lead to real change. Push for openness. Push for Reform: Public pressure can drive stronger environmental laws and enforcement. Get Ahead of the Risk: Learn your exposure, adopt safer practices, and prepare before harm occurs.

Summary: Muahaha! Cower in fear, dear listeners, as Holly and Devin discuss villains… who need a paycheck too. Whether you've worked in Corporate America or just like to imagine hell as an office building, these books will be a home run. Topics Discussed: The Dagger (3:26): Holly discussed Sign Here by Claudia Lux, a satirical exploration of morality and corporate offices following Peyote Trip, a caseworker in the Deals Department of the fifth floor of Hell. Responsible for securing soups by making deals with humans desperate enough to sign away their afterlives, Peyote is on the cusp of a promotion. If he can sign up one more member of the Harrison family he'll get a “Complete Set” - five souls from the same lineage. Holly's key takeaways were: Hell's depiction as a monotonous office environment serves as a critique of bureaucratic inefficiencies and the dehumanizing aspects of corporate life. Peyote's journey reflects a deeper quest for self-understanding and the possibility of redemption, even within the confines of Hell. The novel explores the gray areas of morality, questioning the binary notions of good and evil through its characters' choices and motivations. The Harrison family's dynamics highlight the impact of generational secrets and the lengths individuals go to protect or escape their lineage. For Holly, the premise of the story was stronger than the execution. While it was entertaining throughout, the two storylines of Peyote in Helly and the Harrison Family on Earth don't come together as strongly and clearly as they could have. The Heart (13:20): Devin discussed Assistant to the Villain by Hannah Nicole Maehrer, a BookTok-sourced Romantasy following Evie Sage, a young woman lying in the magical kingdom of Rennedawn who is in desperate need of a job. After an unfortunate firing and a spell of bad luck, she stumbles into a chance encounter with The Villain and ends up hired as his personal assistant. While yes, there are body parts swinging from the ceiling, his castle runs much like any business and Evie can handle the paperwork. Devin's key takeaways were: This novel highlights a recent publishing trend of storylines and authors becoming popular on social media sites like TikTok before they are published, then being signed by publishing companies to ride the wave of their popularity. Pros include increased diversity and a resurgence of popularity of reading in the zeitgeist, but Holly and Devin review cons like rushed editing and expected tropes as well. Maehrer explores the idea that even villains deserve loyalty, empathy, and maybe even a decent lunch break. It's a workplace comedy... if the workplace had torture chambers. The absurdity of running an evil empire like an office is what makes the “villainous job” theme shine. Capitalism meets chaos magic. While not spicy at all, there are romantic elements to the story. The push-pull between danger and attraction for Evie and The Villain is delicious, especially when the boss could literally smite someone - but instead just broods silently when Evie talks to another guy. Hot On the Shelf (35:54): Holly: My Friends by Fredrik Backman Devin: That Time I Got Drunk and Saved a Human by Kimberly Lemming What's Making Our Hearts Race (41:47): Holly: The Last of Us Season 2 on HBO Max Devin: Volunteering in her local community Instagram: @heartsanddaggerspod Website: www.heartsanddaggerspod.com If you like what you hear, please tell your friends and rate and review us on Apple Podcasts and Spotify so that we can find our perfect audience.

The details of the 2022 Ukraine/Russia conflict change minute by minute and hour by hour. What's difficult for my guest and her 80 year old mother, Mariyka, to understand is how shocking this event is. Here we are in the 21st century, and Ukraine is under attack. Certainly not plausible, but clearly possible. What makes this all the more difficult is the fact that Anya and her mom have many relatives still in the Ukraine today. They've set up group chats on their phones to make sure that they can all stay in touch with updates regarding their safety and where-a-bouts.The rich Ukrainian culture has played a significant role in my guest's life. She attended the Ukrainian Cultural Center of NJ in Whippany, as a child growing up. She and her sibling, studied the language, traditions, history, etc. Anya also raised her own children with the same ideation that their Ukrainian culture was very important and they too had to learn and understand the significance of these traditions. In 1949, Mariyka's family was sponsored by a German family and they were able to move to the US. However, they moved to Wisconsin. They often felt isolated. There was no family close by, yet they held on to their values, language and traditions. It was vital that they remember all that they had been through and because of their beliefs and strength they survived.On the contrary, Anya's father, as a child moved directly to the lower east side of Manhattan with his family and were immersed in a rich Ukrainian culture 24/7. They had full support from their neighbors and community which helped them overcome their longing for their homeland.The same patriotism still exists today as it did long ago, when both mom and dad arrived in the United States and held utmost respect and longing for Ukraine. That's why Anya says of her relatives still in Ukraine today, "they are scared but there is not a single doubt in their minds that they need to stay. They love their country and they will fight to defend it." They large family photo is from a 2011 trip to Ukraine with her mother and children to visit part of their immediate family still living there.After working decades in Corporate America, at JP Morgan, Anya now works at a benchmarking organization helping businesses grow at The Learning Forum. Currently, she is on the Board of Directors for the Ukrainian Cultural Center as well as fulfilling her role as Administrative Director at the School of Ukrainian Studies.The Ukrainian American Cultural Center just outside Morristown, NJ (https://uaccnj.org/)is accepting donations for their humanitarian drive to send much needed supplies to Ukraine. You can find the full list of goods, including nonperishable food, clothing, blankets, warm clothing, etc at the link above. Anya ended this episode with a phrase that Ukrainian's are repeatedly using "Glory to Ukraine. Glory to the heroes."Thank you for listening and thank you for contributing to aid the Ukrainians.

Transitioning from the military to business brings immense opportunities and new challenges. While you bring valuable skills from your service, focusing on personal well-being and the importance of self-care is crucial for effective leadership in your next career. In this podcast, I interview Sarah Draper about how learning to pause, meditate, and spending time in silence are tools for self-care. Dr. Adrian Popa, podcast guest from Episode 213, introduced me to Sarah through her 2024 TEDx talk. Sarah is a former FBI agent, a graduate of West Point, and an Army veteran. Today, she operates her own leadership and consulting practice. Sarah emphasizes that truly serving others as a leader requires taking care of yourself first. She notes a past belief in service-oriented cultures that self-care is selfish, but this leads to a cumulative negative impact of burnout. Burnout, characterized by exhaustion, lack of professional efficacy, and sometimes cynicism, is a real risk. When leaders neglect themselves, they can unintentionally push their stress onto their teams, hindering performance. Learning to recognize when something feels "off" internally is vital for adaptation and growth. Sarah shares tangible tools to build resilience and focus on the importance of self-care. Mindfulness meditation, even just 10-15 minutes daily, trains your mind to manage distractions and improves focus. A gratitude practice, like noting three good things, helps counteract our brain's negativity bias and fosters a more positive perspective. Intentional breath work offers quick techniques to manage stress and regulate your nervous system in challenging moments. Developing these "human skills" and fostering trusted relationships is key to continuous self-development and crucial for leaders navigating transitions. Prioritizing your well-being isn't selfish; it's essential for you to be your best leader in the business world. I am incredibly grateful to have met Sarah, and I appreciate her devoting her time and support to transitioning military officers and Cameron-Brooks.

Stan is the former commander of the nation's premier military counter-terrorism force, Joint Special Operations Command (also known as JSOC). His command included more than 150,000 troops from 45 allied countries. Since he retired from the Army, Stan has written multiple best-selling books including, Team of Teams, and most recently, On Character. The most crucial discipline is to think for yourself. To a sad degree, we're lazy. People comment on things they haven't watched or read, but have seen comments by others who align with their political party. They aren't thinking for themselves (this is why it's almost impossible to align completely with one political party for me). If you find yourself saying “I just do” or “that's what I heard,” that's not thinking. Being Obsessed – “I am convinced that few truly great achievements are reached by individuals with an impressive work-life balance, and the price of greatness, in a word, is great. In the end, I'm an advocate for obsession." The Ranger Effect – The value of unwavering standards.Created near the end of Vietnam when the Army had lowered its standards. They created 2 units of Rangers to raise the standard. It permeated the entire Army. How does a leader do this in Corporate America? Clearly establish expectations. You cannot have a “say-do” gap. The leader must demonstrate the values on a constant basis. BE what you want. Discipline to hold people accountable. “My major takeaway at almost 70 years old is conclusive. I wish I'd thought more, been more contemplative about my convictions, and been more deliberate about the person I sought to be.” Stan's mom — she died on New Year's Day 1971 at age 45. Stan was 16. Had 6 kids. Mary Bright McChrystal. Writes about her in the civil rights chapter. “I accept no belief or claim to truth automatically or unconditionally.” White Water Rafting – When the subject of America's involvement in Afghanistan arises, Stan is frequently asked, what he might do differently if given the chance to do it all over again. Answer: “Go white water rafting.” In Patient Pursuit of Greatness – In the spring of 2012, Stan was teaching a leadership class at Yale. That's when he met their football coach, Tony Reno: “Not many things materially affect my trajectory. But this time was different. What was different? Coach Reno.” Choosing to Lead – Leadership is not a title or position. It's a choice. “Embrace the suck” – “Why suck a little, when you can suck a lot?” Eat one meal a day. It's built on being undisciplined with food. If you only eat dinner, you can eat a lot for that one meal. Self-Discipline - Most important attribute for a leader. Wife Annie - Dependent on her. Kind, thoughtful, caring. Life/Career Advice: Have the discipline to decide want you want to be. Be intentional. LISTEN: Don't just talk. Be respectful. Don't be afraid to fail. Try it, get back up. Try again.
