A bitter end to a fun season for my beloved 49ers at the hands of the Seattle Seahawks. One of our most bitter rivals steamrolled the 49ers 41-6 en route the NFC Championship game. Denver eliminates Buffalo after Josh Allen committed 5 turnovers. Costly win for Denver as they lose Bo Nix for the season with a broken ankle. CJ Stroud throws the Texans out of the playoffs and the Rams had just enough to escape cold and snowy Chicago with a win on Sunday Night. s

Remodeling your home should make life easier—but for many homeowners, the overwhelm starts long before construction begins. Between endless choices, unclear priorities, Pinterest overload, and fear of costly mistakes, decision fatigue can take over before a single wall comes down. In this episode, I'm joined by Jen Orr, founder of Studio Red Interior Design and host of the podcast Preparing for Your Home Remodel. Jen specializes in helping homeowners slow down, plan intentionally, and design homes that truly support real life—especially in busy, family-heavy households. We talk about why starting with **function—not finishes—**is the key to a smoother, smarter renovation and how having the right systems in place can save time, money, and stress.

PREVIEW FOR LATER TODAY Guest: Joseph Sternberg. Sternberg discusses the conflict between the White Houseand Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell. While the President correctly argues that high interest rates make federal debt service costly, Sternberg contends that Powell previously compromised the Fed's independence by wading into fiscal policy debates during the 2020 pandemic.1927 FEDERAL RESERVE BOARD

Choosing an Ireland vacation package seems simple enough. You find a deal you like- be it self-drive or guided- and make the purchase. Done. Ireland vacation booked and ready. But it may not be so simple. Airline transfers, car rental, accommodations… they all play a role in the success of your vacation to Ireland. This article is also available as the Traveling in Ireland podcast, episode 324. Use the player below to listen or scroll to continue reading the article and get resource links. Ireland Vacation Packages Explained: What's Included, What's Not, and What Matters Ireland vacation deals are designed to be attractive – but what looks good at first glance may not be the vacation of your dreams. Step 1: Determine what attracted you to the deal Use the tips below to help you avoid Ireland vacation package purchase regret. Vacation packages are often marketed as ‘all or mostly inclusive' – but there are always additional costs. Were you attracted by the price? Cheap Ireland vacations may not be the best deal. You will be able to spot this as you break down the package. Were you attracted by the accommodations? A bit of research into the vacation package will reveal more about your lodging. Were you attracted by the images or description? Dig into the details and see if those places are included in the package or are just ‘suggestions'. Keep in mind what appealed to you as you dig into the deal. Step 2: Check the terms of the vacation package Review what is included in the package- and what is extra. Most vacation package deals show the lowest priced dates. If the dates can be changed how does that afftect the price? How is the vacation package priced? Most are based on 2 people, sharing. If you have a larger group how will you be accommodated (transportation, lodging, etc)? If you are a solo traveler are there extra charges? Be sure to read the terms and conditions! What is the cancellation policy? Might trip insurance be a good idea? (Don't purchase the travel insurance offered with the vacation package without doing your research! Read more about travel insurance for your Ireland vacation here.) Most importantly- who do you contact if you encounter a problem? Step 3: Know where the package will take you Does the package have a set itinerary? Does it take you to places you want to visit? If the package doesn't have an itinerary do you know how to plan what to see and do? (hint: I can help with that!)Free Itineraries – Vacation Coaching Calls – Bespoke Itinerary Creation Step 4: Review your transportation Where do flights depart? Can that be changed and, if so, how does that affect the cost? Can you get to the departure airport without further significant cost? Also note that many packages do not allow accrual of frequent flyer points and that children do not receive a special fare. Is car rental included? If so be aware that in most cases you will have to pay for insurance upon arrival in Ireland. Resource: Car Rental & Driving Guide. Pay close attention to Ireland Car Rental Insurance and Yes You Can Rent a Car if You are Over 70 (if applicable). If your tour is guided check all information on pick up, drop off, and how you will be transported. Also be aware that guided tours do not include a gratuity in the package cost. If your tour includes rail be sure to study a rail map and figure out how you will get from the city hubs into the country to visit the sites you want to see. Read more: Traveling Around Ireland: Trains, Buses, and Automobiles Step 5: Check the accommodations Will you be in a single location or will you be switching accommodation during your trip? Check the drive times to your first night's lodging from the airport and your final night's lodging to the airport. That 2 hour drive may not seem like a lot until you realize your flight from Dublin leaves at 9am and you need to arrive 3 hours prior to boarding to clear all the security points. If the accommodations are set are they near places you want to see and visit? For packages offering hotel stays check hotel ratings. Be sure to see if there is an ‘alternate' hotel in case the first hotel isn't available. (Trip Advisor is a great resource for this). If staying at a luxury property check to see if those great resort activities (like a Hawk Walk, horseback riding, or 5* dinner) are included in your package or if they will carry an additional charge. As you review the vacation package you'll easily see if it is as great a deal as it first appeared or if the tour is the right fit for you.

Chris explains why tapping retirement savings won't make housing more affordable and will likely do the opposite by inflating prices even further. As markets begin to cool and home values slowly correct, unlocking trillions in 401(k) capital would pour gasoline on the real estate fire, rewarding sellers and agents while setting buyers back years in retirement savings. It's another well-intentioned policy that misses basic economics—and risks keeping everyday Americans poorer, not better off.

Bobby and Eddie start by revisiting their weird Spurs game experience—where they somehow ended up in the middle of a bunch of kids high-fiving players, and it turned into one of those “how did we get here?” moments that still makes them laugh. Then they get into a real debate about the best athlete they’ve ever seen in person, and what stood out when you’re actually in the building versus watching on TV. Plus, Bobby tells the story about the time he was almost fired from his job and what led to it. And Eddie is still mad about his costly Disneyland dinner with “The Beast,” including what it set him back, what he thought he was paying for, and why he’s refusing to let it go.

Across parts of Appalachia, some people don't trust their water, or their water isn't safe to drink. So they turn to bottled water, even for cooking in some cases. But as a recent study points out, this is costing low-income families a lot of money, as Roxy Todd reports.

What happens to the house in a divorce? For many homeowners, divorce and real estate collide in painful and expensive ways. The home is often the biggest asset, the biggest debt, and the most emotionally charged part of the divorce process — and it's where people make the most costly mistakes. In this episode of State 48 Homeowner, host Scott Kooiman of Klaus Team Real Estate Solutions sits down with family law attorney Marco Brown, founder of Brown Family Law, to explain what homeowners need to understand about divorce and your house — before emotions and assumptions lead to years of financial fallout. We break down: What really happens to the house in a divorce Common misconceptions about keeping the house after divorce How Arizona community property law treats the marital home Divorce housing options: selling the home, one spouse keeping it, or deferred sale How equity, debt, and property division are handled Why co-ownership, nesting, and "we'll figure it out later" usually fail What happens when one spouse refuses to cooperate or move out Court-ordered home sales and forced resolutions Why walking away emotionally before finances are settled is dangerous You'll also hear a critical mortgage and lending reality check from Steve Farrington of Unity Home Loans, explaining: How divorce affects mortgage qualification Debt-to-income ratio issues during divorce Using spousal support as qualifying income Refinancing after divorce — and what happens when rates are higher Credit risks when you're still tied to the mortgage How missed payments impact both spouses How to protect yourself financially during a divorce Before you make a decision — especially in a moment of stress — it's critical to talk to professionals who understand how family law, divorce mortgages, and real estate intersect. This episode is part of our "When Things Go Wrong" series, covering what happens to your home during divorce, death, disability, and major life transitions — so homeowners can make informed, confident decisions when it matters most.

Send us a textA bright dashboard can feel like certainty, but certainty is often the first illusion. We sit down with Dr. Mike Orkin, a seasoned statistician who has advised casinos and Fortune 100 leaders, to explore why smart people make bad calls when the numbers look right—and how to prevent it. From margin of error to the myth of tidy causation, Mike breaks down the difference between patterns worth acting on and patterns that will quietly burn your budget.We dig into classic misreads—like soda sales “causing” polio or alcohol “causing” lung cancer—and show how hidden variables twist decisions. Then we step onto the casino floor to see probability without the storytelling: independent trials, house edge, and why betting limits protect profits. If you've ever heard of positive expected value, you'll hear why it still fails without disciplined sizing, and how the Kelly criterion turns winning odds into sustainable advantage. Along the way, we tackle lotteries, survivor bias, and the uncomfortable truth that winners often emerge because enough people played, not because someone discovered a secret.AI enters as both accelerant and trap. Large language models thrive on correlation and can hallucinate when the evidence runs dry. Mike shares practical guardrails for using AI in places like engineering and support—pairing models with domain expertise, testing for failure modes, and resisting the lure of overconfidence. We also zoom out to a leader's mental model: when to think deterministically, when to think probabilistically, and how to blend data with context, incentives, and human will.If you're steering strategy, allocating capital, or building with AI, this conversation offers a clear checklist: respect uncertainty, size your bets, interrogate correlations, and hire experts who can “think with other people's brains.” Subscribe, share with a data-loving friend, and leave a review with one insight you'll apply this quarter.Thanks for tuning in to this episode of Follow The Brand!

The new year is the right time to take a clear look at how taxes, required withdrawals, and income decisions can quietly shape the rest of your retirement. In this episode of Safer Retirement Radio, Brian Decker and Arrin Wray walk through the most common tax and planning issues retirees and near-retirees face—and why understanding them early can help you avoid unnecessary taxes, missed opportunities, and future stress. In this conversation, you'll hear about: How required withdrawals work later in retirement—and why misunderstanding them can create avoidable tax pressure Why the timing of tax decisions matters more than most people realize How portfolio changes can unintentionally trigger taxes if handled without a plan Ways charitable giving fits into an overall income and tax strategy The difference between decisions that must be made during the year and those that can be adjusted later What information your CPA and planning team actually need to help you make better decisions If you're within 5–10 years of retirement, or already retired, this episode provides clarity on how taxes, income, and planning decisions work together—and where many retirees unknowingly go wrong.

there's a reason scripture says to FLEE from the enemy. He's sneaky, he's a snake but he isn't dumb. He watches and sees how you react to circumstances and situations and if he's lucky he'll see how he can trigger you, how he can get you to slip up. You don't just FALL into sin you linger, it trickles, then ripples, then snowballs, and then catastrophe occurs. That's why instead of "bouncing" just once alongside his schemes its best to FLEE automatically, it can't be flirted with, you don't have it "under control" your will power will begin to NOT be enough. Thats where he wants you and thats where he'll get you IF you allow it!

Ash interviews Michael Cobb, exploring how Michael built an international real estate, lending, and development platform across Central and South America by identifying gaps in foreign buyer financing and leaning heavily into community-centric development. Michael shares why legal systems, zoning assumptions, and cultural norms differ dramatically outside the U.S., and how misunderstanding those nuances can derail overseas investments. He also explains his long-term strategy of creating purpose-built expat communities using New Urbanist design principles, why branded resort residences in markets like Belize sit in a “sweet spot” for appreciation, and how thoughtful diversification outside the U.S. can strengthen both lifestyle and portfolio outcomes.

Send us a textIf you've found yourself thinking, “We really need to communicate better,”but you also feel a quiet tightening inside when you say that…this one is for you.Most couples don't stop talking because they don't care.They stop because talking started to feel costly.Costly emotionally — it leads to reactions that stir more feelings.Costly energetically — you walk away drained, with nothing resolved.Costly relationally — it feels like every attempt pushes you further apart.So avoidance slowly becomes protection.And over time, that protection turns into distance.This week's podcast episode is an invitation to start again —not by pushing harder or having a big talk —but by making communication simpler and safer.

COSTLY MISTAKES OVERSPENDING IN RETIREMENT FROM BALTIMORE WASHINGTON FINANCIAL ADVISORS Tyler Kluge | CFP®, CPWA®, CDFA®, CEPS Financial Planner, BWFA Tessa Hall Media and Communications Specialist, BWFA Sandy Hornor | CEPS Managing Director, Wealth Management & Executive Manager, BWFA About This Episode Holding retirement savings in cash may feel safe, but over time inflation erodes purchasing power. In this episode, BWFA's Sandy Hornor, Jr. and Tyler Kluge explain why too much cash can become a costly mistake—and how to find the right balance for long-term security. You'll also learn why professional planning helps ensure that your money continues to grow, even as your needs and goals evolve. Full DescriptionMany retirees feel comfortable keeping large portions of their retirement plan in cash. It provides stability, avoids market swings, and seems like the safe choice. However, cash alone cannot keep up with inflation. Over the years, rising prices quietly reduce its value, leaving less to cover healthcare costs, everyday expenses, and the retirement lifestyle you planned. In this episode of Healthy, Wealthy & Wise, BWFA's Sandy Hornor, Jr., Tyler Kluge, and Tessa Hall explain why holding too much cash can be risky. While every plan needs liquidity for emergencies, relying on cash at the expense of growth may limit your long-term success. Together, they share insights on how to strike the right balance, ensuring you maintain flexibility today while protecting your future purchasing power. Listeners will also hear how professional financial planning can help determine the right mix of cash, bonds, and equities. With careful guidance, it is possible to feel secure while still allowing your portfolio to grow. At BWFA, we believe retirement is about more than safety—it's about sustainability. This episode offers practical guidance for making smarter decisions, avoiding common pitfalls, and staying on track for the future. By learning how to balance risk and reward, you can create a retirement strategy designed to last. For more retirement strategies, visit BWFA's Financial Planning Services.

In January 1998, freezing rain began to fall along the St. Lawrence River but instead of the system moving on, it hung around. It created one of the most costly natural disasters in Canadian history that is still remembered by many to this day. ORDER MY FIRST HISTORY BOOK!

In this episode of "The D.O. Show," host Dustin Owen—drawing on his two decades of expertise in the financial and mortgage industries—dives deep into the often misunderstood world of insurance. With his signature "321 format," Dustin breaks down the essentials of disability, term life, and whole life insurance, making complex topics accessible for listeners at every stage of their financial journey. Dustin kicks off the episode by answering real audience questions, addressing common concerns such as: "Do I really need disability insurance if I'm young and healthy?", "How much term life coverage is enough for my family?", and "Is whole life insurance a smart investment or just a sales pitch?" He then transitions into a discussion of recent headlines and trends in the insurance industry, highlighting regulatory changes, new product offerings, and shifts in consumer behavior that could impact listeners' decisions. Throughout the episode, Dustin offers an in-depth perspective on whole life insurance, explaining how it differs from term life, the mechanics of cash value accumulation, and the scenarios where it might make sense—or not—for different individuals. He emphasizes the importance of understanding the true purpose of each insurance product, dispelling myths such as "insurance is only for the wealthy" or "whole life is always a bad deal." Dustin also shares real-life stories from his career, illustrating how proper insurance planning has protected families and individuals during unexpected life events. Importantly, Dustin stresses that insurance should be viewed as a foundational element of a sound financial plan—not as an exciting investment or a way to chase returns. He encourages listeners to approach insurance decisions thoughtfully, focusing on protecting their income, loved ones, and long-term financial stability. By the end of the episode, listeners will have a clearer understanding of how disability, term life, and whole life insurance work, why they matter, and how to evaluate their own coverage needs. Dustin's practical advice and candid insights empower the audience to make informed, confident decisions about their insurance, ensuring they're prepared for whatever life may bring.

THE ATOMIC BOMB AND POST-WAR LEADERSHIP Colleague Craig Symonds. Nimitz and King believed a naval blockade could force Japan's surrender without a costly invasion, which they feared would result in millions of deaths. Nimitz was informed early about the atomic bomb to ensure it wouldn't interfere with operations. After the war, despite resistance from the aviation community and Secretary Forrestal, Nimitz served a two-year term as Chief of Naval Operations. Spruance, denied a fifth star in favor of Halsey, took the high road by leading the Naval War College, ensuring future officers learned from the Pacific war's lessons.

Got a question? Let us know!Made for Mondays | The Christmas PlaylistLight That Can't Be ManufacturedThis week on Made for Mondays, Heather is joined by Jamey, Tyler, and Doug as they lean into the heart of Christmas week and unpack Sunday's message about real joy and real light—the kind that doesn't come from a playlist, a purchase, or pretending everything is fine.After some weekend catch-up and reflections from Revelation 10–15, Psalms 145–157, and Proverbs 30, the conversation turns toward a timely and honest question:✨ What's the difference between manufactured cheer and received joy?As Christmas approaches, the group reflects on the ways we often try to produce joy—through nostalgia, noise, shopping, control, or even religious performance—when what we actually need is to receive joy as the fruit of abiding in Jesus. Jamey shares how Christmas music can sometimes feel like it's trying to convince our souls everything is wonderful, even when life feels dark.The discussion explores:• Chasing a mood vs. staying close to Jesus How do we tell when we're chasing a feeling instead of abiding in Christ? The group shares honest “litmus tests” that reveal when joy has become something we're forcing rather than receiving.• Darkness and light Jamey unpacks the idea that darkness isn't a thing—it's the absence of light. Spiritually, that shifts the battle. Instead of staring at darkness, we're invited to step toward the Light. What does that look like practically? The team offers simple, doable steps—like intentional prayer, confession, community, or a single act of obedience—that help move us closer to Jesus when gloom starts creeping back in.• Shining brighter in real life Rooted in Matthew 5, the BIG IDEA comes into focus: In a world getting darker, we need to shine brighter. Not performative faith—but quiet faithfulness. Reconciliation. Costly generosity. Staying at the table with people we disagree with. The group shares real-life examples of what that kind of light looks like when it shows up in everyday moments.• Light beyond our walls The conversation connects to The Gift and Believers' partners in Cuba, highlighting how faithful believers there are shining the Light of Jesus in powerful, practical ways—and why it's such a gift to be part of what God is doing through them.• Community in the dark seasons Jamey revisits a story from one of his darkest seasons, where isolation played a central role. Doug and Tyler reflect on how deeply they relate—and why community isn't optional for spiritual health. The group also points ahead to Steps and the importance of getting connected to a small group in the New Year.Join Us This Week

How should Christian faith shape work in an era of pluralism, fear, and systemic inequality? Sociologist Elaine Howard Ecklund (Rice University) is presenting new insights for faith at work through data, theology, and lived experience. "People love to talk about individual ethics … but what was really hard for them to think about was, what would it mean to make our workplace better as a whole?" In this episode, Ecklund joins Mark Labberton to reflect on moving from individual morality toward systemic responsibility, dignity, and other-centred Christian witness at work. Together they discuss faith and work, the gender and race gaps created by systemic injustice, fear and power, religious diversity, rest and human limits, gender and racial marginalization, and the cost of a credible Christian witness. Episode Highlights "People love to talk about individual ethics." "What would it mean to make our workplace better as a whole?" "People are much more apt to take us seriously if we first take them seriously." "Suppression of faith in particular is not the answer." "God is God and I am not." About Elaine Howard Ecklund Elaine Howard Ecklund is professor of sociology at Rice University and director of the Boniuk Institute for the Study and Advancement of Religious Tolerance. She is a leading sociologist of religion, science, and work whose research examines how faith operates in professional and institutional life. Ecklund has led large-scale empirical studies on religion in workplaces and scientific communities, supported by the National Science Foundation, Templeton Foundation, and Lilly Endowment.
