I want to alert you, so you don’t miss out on expert analysis and insider perspectives from my guests who provide tips that can help you uplift the community, improve your financial planning, motivation, or advice on how to be a successful entrepreneur. Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Attorney S. Diane Clair. A Georgia-based attorney, real estate law professor at Kennesaw State University, and founder of a law practice specializing in real estate, estate planning, probate, business, and contract law. The discussion focuses on wealth building through real estate investing, asset protection, and estate planning strategies for generational wealth. Purpose of the Interview The primary purpose of the interview was to: Educate listeners about real estate investing opportunities, including lesser-known strategies such as tax liens and tax deeds. [ Stress the importance of working with qualified legal professionals instead of relying on Google, social media, AI tools, or generic legal templates. [ Promote wealth preservation through estate planning, particularly trusts and business structures. [ Encourage minority communities to create estate plans and pass wealth to future generations. [ Key Takeaways 1. Don't Rely Solely on Google, Social Media, or AI for Legal Advice Clair warns that many individuals attempt to create wills, trusts, and legal documents online without professional guidance. She emphasizes that legal matters require experienced attorneys because AI and internet sources may provide incomplete or incorrect information. Why it Matters Legal mistakes can create costly problems later. AI-generated content can be inaccurate. Estate planning and real estate transactions require professional review. 2. Real Estate Is a Powerful Wealth-Building Tool Clair argues that real estate remains one of the strongest ways to build and transfer wealth between generations. She highlights its relative stability compared to stock market fluctuations. Benefits Mentioned Builds long-term wealth Generates passive income Creates assets that can be inherited Helps achieve financial freedom [ 3. Start Real Estate Investing Through a Business Entity One of Clair's first recommendations is to establish a legal business structure before purchasing investment properties. Recommended Structures LLC Corporation Other formal business entities [ She repeatedly stresses that investment assets ideally should not be owned in an individual's personal name. 4. You Don't Need Large Amounts of Money to Invest A major myth she debunks is that real estate investing requires significant capital. Entry-Level Strategies Tax liens Tax deeds Foreclosure purchases Fix-and-flip projects Rental properties [ According to Clair, investors can begin with relatively small amounts by purchasing tax liens and earning interest when property owners redeem them. [ 5. Estate Planning Is Largely Ignored Clair shares a startling statistic: Approximately 64% of Americans do not have an estate plan. Among minorities, that number rises to about 70%. [ She believes the problem is educational rather than financial, noting that even wealthy celebrities frequently fail to plan their estates. 6. Trusts Are Better Than Wills for Many Situations Clair strongly favors trusts, especially irrevocable trusts, as vehicles for preserving wealth. Advantages of Trusts Avoid probate Potential tax benefits Asset protection Easier transfer of wealth Can operate while the creator is still alive Difference Between a Will and a Trust Will Takes effect after death Goes through probate court Directs distribution of assets Trust Can function during the owner's lifetime Avoids probate Can provide stronger protection and tax advantages [ 7. Asset Protection Is Essential Clair explains that trusts can own: Real estate Bank accounts Businesses Investments Other valuable assets Because the trust, rather than the individual, owns the property, there can be additional protection from lawsuits and claims. Notable Quotes On Legal Services Beyond Personal Injury Law "You can hire lawyers for way more, and we can assist you in way more." [ On Using AI for Legal Matters "AI is not really something you want to trust... It creates and makes up stuff." [ On Professional Guidance "You want to book a consultation with an attorney." On Real Estate Investing "A lot of people have that misconception that you have to have a lot of money to start investing in real estate, and that's not true." On Generational Wealth "Real estate is something that is the best thing to invest in and pass down to future generations." [ On Estate Planning "This is not a money thing... It's an education thing." [ On Trusts "The best estate planning instrument is always going to be a trust." On Asset Ownership "Don't have anything in your own name, have it in the name of the trust or in the business." Overall Message Attorney Diane Clair's central message is that wealth creation and wealth preservation must work together. Building assets through real estate is important, but equally important is protecting those assets through proper business structures, trusts, estate planning, and professional legal guidance. The interview encourages listeners, especially entrepreneurs and minority communities, to think long term about generational wealth, asset protection, and financial legacy rather than short-term gains.

Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Dr. Christina Dukes Brown. CEO of the Boys & Girls Club of Paterson and Passaic, New Jersey. The discussion centers on the organization's mission to support underserved youth through education, mentorship, entrepreneurship, life skills development, athletics, and community engagement. Dr. Brown also shares her vision for empowering young people and calls on businesses, volunteers, and community leaders to help create opportunities for the next generation. Purpose of the Interview The interview was designed to: Highlight the needs of children and families in Paterson and Passaic, New Jersey. Showcase the impact of the Boys & Girls Club's programs. Encourage volunteers, mentors, business owners, and corporations to get involved. Promote youth entrepreneurship and leadership development. Demonstrate how communities can work together to improve outcomes for young people. Key Takeaways 1. The Boys & Girls Club Is a Lifeline for Many Families The organization serves more than 1,400 children and teens daily through after-school programs, summer camps, tutoring, athletics, arts, and mentoring. Many of the families served face challenges such as poverty, food insecurity, homelessness, and educational barriers. Impact: Academic support and homework assistance. Nutritious meals and safe environments. Positive recreational and leadership opportunities. Family and community support services. 2. Education Requires Community Support Dr. Brown explained that schools alone cannot provide everything children need to succeed.

Programs Include: Homework support (Power Hour) Tutoring Character development Leadership training Creative arts and athletics College and career preparation 3. Entrepreneurship Is a Major Focus One of the Club's signature initiatives is Girls with Goals, a 10-week entrepreneurship program designed to help young women develop business skills.

The program aims to build confidence, leadership abilities, and financial literacy while inspiring future business owners. 4. Mentorship Is Critical A central message throughout the interview is the importance of mentorship. Dr. Brown emphasized that young people benefit from seeing successful individuals who share similar backgrounds and experiences. She encouraged professionals, entrepreneurs, and community leaders to volunteer their time and expertise. Why Mentorship Matters: Provides real-world guidance. Builds confidence. Expands career awareness. Helps break cycles of poverty. Creates positive role models. 5. Challenging Negative Stereotypes Dr. Brown spoke passionately about overcoming what she called "deficit ideology," the belief that young people from marginalized communities lack the ability to succeed. Her message was clear: Talent exists everywhere. Success is not determined by zip code. Every child has strengths that deserve recognition. Soft skills are just as important as academic achievements. She stressed the importance of helping young people recognize their own value and potential. 6. Preparing Youth for Adulthood The organization serves youth from ages 5 to 25, including young adults who are still exploring career options. For older participants, the Club focuses on: Professional development Workplace readiness Internships Career exploration Leadership opportunities Dr. Brown also discussed expanding partnerships with local businesses to expose young adults to skilled trades and vocational careers. 7. Community Involvement Is the Solution Both Dr. Brown and Rushion McDonald repeatedly stressed that real change happens when communities become actively involved. The interview served as a call to action for: Volunteers Business owners Corporations Churches Mentors Community organizations The message: everyone has something valuable to contribute to the success of young people. Notable Quotes On Community Responsibility "I can't complain about the position of Black and Brown people in society if I'm not going to do the work necessary to support its elevation." On Motivation "It's hard to get to sleep at night because you're constantly thinking about what's next and what you must do. But I am motivated to jump out of bed every morning to come and support these communities." On Potential and Success "No matter where you come from and no matter what you look like, no matter what skin you show up in, you have the capacity to become great." On Building Confidence "We have to help affirm those skills just like the others, so that young people can be confident in who they are." On Mentorship "One of the best motivating factors for most young people is being able to look into the eyes of a person who looks like them, who has a similar background." On Entrepreneurship "Many of our teenage female club members wanted to start their own businesses." On Community Access "We want to make ourselves available to the community as often as the community has a need."

She highlighted the Boys & Girls Club of Paterson and Passaic's efforts to address educational challenges, develop future leaders and entrepreneurs, provide mentorship, and create pathways to long-term success.

Aaron Judge's lower-body injury could force the Yankees into a major postseason lineup shuffle. Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber debate whether Judge now needs to become the designated hitter, what that would mean for Ben Rice and Luis Garcia, and whether the Yankees can trust Garcia defensively at second base with October approaching. The concern goes beyond whether Judge will return. The Yankees need his bat, but protecting him in the field could create difficult decisions everywhere else. Plus, the conversation shifts to Pete Alonso's emotional return to Citi Field and why the Mets' failure to adequately replace him has made fans miss him even more.

"When the hallucinated voices of the gods fell silent in ancient texts, human beings had to construct a new internal world to replace them. But by what exact mechanism did we build the subjective mind that took their place? Modern cognitive psychology often struggles with this question because it routinely conflates innate biological perception with true subjective consciousness. ..."Learn more by reading "Conversations on Consciousness and the Bicameral Mind," currently on sale for a limited time:https://www.amazon.com/dp/1737305534/https://www.julianjaynes.org/book/conversations-on-consciousness-and-the-bicameral-mind/Or by becoming a member of the Julian Jaynes Society: https://www.julianjaynes.org/join/Read the transcript: https://www.julianjaynes.org/2026/09/17/language-the-architecture-of-consciousness/Produced by Marcel Kuijsten using generative AI tools and reviewed by human editors for accuracy and clarity.

Gerrit Cole's ugly history against Boston creates a massive Yankees playoff question. Evan Roberts, Tiki Barber and Shaun Morash debate whether Cole should even start against the Red Sox in a best-of-three Wild Card series, especially with Max Fried's dominance in the matchup and another strong rotation option available. The conversation turns to whether Cole belongs in Game 1, should be protected from an elimination game, or could even be pushed aside as the Yankees map out October. The Mets' handling of Pete Alonso also remains a major sore spot, with Evan arguing Steve Cohen has continued the franchise's frustrating history of letting beloved stars leave. Plus, the Giants' travel plan for their Monday night matchup in Los Angeles, the excuses that could follow another Giants win, Aaron Judge returning to the Yankees lineup, and Evan already dreaming about what a 2-0 Jets start could mean.

PassinArt began in 1982 and is the oldest continuously operating Black theatre in Oregon. Based in Portland, its mission is to “entertain, educate, and inspire artists and audiences while addressing critical issues facing our community.” The name is a nod to its vision of passing on art, history and culture from one generation to another. The company doesn’t just mount full scale theatrical productions, it also holds free monthly readings, festivals of new works, and other events.    And this weekend, PassinArt is inviting the whole Portland community to its Open House & Block Party. Artistic Director Jerry Foster says they want to introduce people to the new headquarters at the Albina Arts Center on NE  Killingsworth, along with all the different kinds of work PassinArt offers. We talk with Foster to learn about the kinds of plays the company stages, the new work it supports, and the community events it hosts.

Logan Beach of Bowling Green, Kentucky, and his wife, Kaylin, had a problem. It was the afternoon of September 6, the second day of Kentucky's archery season. The couple was hunting the same ridge from different trees 16 yards apart, Kaylin with her recurve and Logan with a Prime Divide 31 compound bow. They were close enough to see each other, but not close enough to talk. They were hunting specific deer when a massive nomadic buck they weren't...

Success can become a survival strategy when the nervous system learns that achievement equals safety. In this episode of Trauma Rewired, Jennifer Wallace and Elisabeth Kristof are joined by entrepreneur and Brain Based partner Margy Feldhun to explore how unresolved trauma can drive perfectionism, relentless productivity, emotional repression, and eventual burnout. Together, they unpack why so many high achievers feel successful on the outside while feeling disconnected, numb, or chronically stressed on the inside. You'll learn how the fight response can masquerade as ambition, why emotional repression often fuels performance until it no longer can, and how nervous system regulation allows success to become something you can actually experience instead of constantly chasing. If you've ever felt like you're accomplishing everything yet still can't relax, this conversation will help you understand why—and show you a different path toward sustainable achievement, healthier relationships, and authentic fulfillment.      In This Episode Why high achievement is often rooted in nervous system survival rather than true capacity How the fight response fuels perfectionism, overworking, and burnout The hidden cost of emotional repression in business, leadership, and relationships Why external success cannot create internal safety How perfectionism, shame, and hypervigilance become performance strategies The difference between emotional repression and emotional suppression Why high performers often experience burnout despite outward success How emotional processing improves leadership, decision-making, and resilience The connection between chronic stress, migraines, pain, and emotional repression Why nervous system regulation creates sustainable success instead of survival-driven achievement How learning to process emotions leads to greater presence, authenticity, and healthier relationships Practical first steps for rewiring achievement patterns through Neurosomatic Intelligence (NSI).      Featured in This Episode

QUOTES FOR REFLECTION “Each of us is a singular narrative, which is constructed, continually, unconsciously, by, through, and in us—through our perceptions, our feelings, our thoughts, our actions; and, not least, our discourse, our spoken narrations.”~Oliver Sacks (1933-2015), famed British neurologist “The reason why the theme of repentance is neglected, as indeed it is not only in modern secular society but in the church, is because it is a costly thing to repent. It does mean reshaping your life in quite a radical way. And people, just because they find it too costly of a prospect, …try to devise a way of being ‘Christian' which doesn't involve anything…radical….”~J.I. Packer (1926-2020), British-born theologian “…insecure in our relationships and anxious about intimacy, we look to technology for ways to be in relationships and protect ourselves from them at the same time.”~Sherry Turkle, professor of social science and technology at MIT “The deepest problems of modern life derive from the claim of the individual to preserve the autonomy and individuality of his existence.” ~Georg Simmel (1858-1918), German sociologist, philosopher, and critic “Everybody makes excuses for themselves they wouldn't be prepared to make for other people.”~Rebecca Goldstein, Plato at the Googleplex: Why Philosophy Won't Go Away “Self-justification and judging others go together, as justification by grace and serving others go together.”~Dietrich Bonhoeffer (1906-1945), German pastor-theologian in Life Together In ancient Rome, “Christianity seemed to have little chance…. Christianity's success is to be found in its absolute inclusiveness. More than any other of its competitor religions it attracted all races and classes…. Christianity…gloried in its appeal to Jew, Gentile, African, and Barbarian…. There was no other religion that took in all groups and all strata of society.”~Kenneth Scott Latourette (1884-1986), American historian at Yale University “Our goal is to create a beloved community, and this will require a qualitative change in our souls as well as a quantitative change in our lives.”~Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. (1929-1968), Baptist minister and civil rights leaderSERMON PASSAGERomans 12:1-21 (NASB95) 1 Therefore I urge you, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living and holy sacrifice, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service of worship. 2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect. 3 For through the grace given to me I say to everyone among you not to think more highly of himself than he ought to think; but to think so as to have sound judgment, as God has allotted to each a measure of faith. 4 For just as we have many members in one body and all the members do not have the same function, 5 so we, who are many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another. 6 Since we have gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, each of us is to exercise them accordingly: if prophecy, according to the proportion of his faith; 7 if service, in his serving; or he who teaches, in his teaching; 8 or he who exhorts, in his exhortation; he who gives, with liberality; he who leads, with diligence; he who shows mercy, with cheerfulness. 9 Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor what is evil; cling to what is good. 10 Be devoted to one another in brotherly love; give preference to one another in honor; 11 not lagging behind in diligence, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord; 12 rejoicing in hope, persevering in tribulation, devoted to prayer, 13 contributing to the needs of the saints, practicing hospitality. 14 Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse. 15 Rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep. 16 Be of the same mind toward one another; do not be haughty in mind, but associate with the lowly. Do not be wise in your own estimation. 17 Never pay back evil for evil to anyone. Respect what is right in the sight of all men. 18 If possible, so far as it depends on you, be at peace with all men. 19 Never take your own revenge, beloved, but leave room for the wrath of God, for it is written, “Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,” says the Lord. 20 “But if your enemy is hungry, feed him, and if he is thirsty, give him a drink; for in so doing you will heap burning coals on his head.” 21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

On this episode of Something to Wrestle, John Layfield and Conrad Thompson tackle the biggest stories shaking up professional wrestling. JBL explains why fans shouldn't sleep on what's happening in AAA and why a connection between WWE and Disney could be a huge deal.

Kevin Hincks calls Friday's CPI report "benign" to kick off the trading session and makes the case that the Fed will not raise interest rates in next week's meeting. The release of the print pulled the 10-year Treasury yield down from its multi-year high. That said, Kevin makes the case the report creates a "real tricky" scenario for the Fed's upcoming decision. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – https://twitter.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/schwab-network/ About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about

Imagine being Zac Taylor in 2019. He was 0-11 in his first season as head coach of the Cincinnati Bengals. He knew they were doing a lot of things right, but the results just weren't coming. Eventually, they did: just over two years later, Zac led his team to the Super Bowl. But for a while, there was a big, painful gap. And you may be in a similar place right now – where you believe you're on the right track, but the results aren't showing up yet.  In this conversation, you'll see what great leadership looks like in those seasons when you're building, grinding, and learning – but not necessarily seeing results.

What if clearer messaging could make your retreat feel safer before your guests ever arrive? In this episode of How to Run Profitable Retreats, Leni Cavazos explains why trying to make your retreat messaging appeal to everyone can actually create more uncertainty for potential buyers. When someone considers investing in a retreat, they're not only asking what's included. They're wondering: Will I belong here? Will I feel comfortable? Will the other people in the room understand me? Is this really designed for someone like me? Clear messaging helps answer those questions.

As couples approach retirement, their biggest question is typically whether they've saved enough to cover their expenses and enjoy the retirement they've worked so hard for. But what happens when one spouse passes away? The decisions you make today will undoubtedly affect the surviving spouse's income, taxes, investments, and overall financial security. In this episode, SHP Financial co-founder Matthew Peck is once again joined by Nick Nelson, VP of Advisory Solutions, to discuss why spousal planning is such an important (and often overlooked) part of retirement planning. They explain why both spouses should be involved in the financial planning process and how preparing in advance can provide greater confidence and continuity when the unexpected happens. Ultimately, spousal planning is about preparing for the difficult questions before you're forced to answer them under duress. Matt and Nick share how planning ahead can provide greater confidence that both spouses understand the plan, know what to do when the unexpected happens, and have the right people in place to help guide them through it. In this podcast interview, you'll learn: Why both spouses should understand the basics of their financial plan. How Social Security and pension decisions can affect a surviving spouse. Why expenses may not decrease significantly after one spouse passes away. How losing a spouse can dramatically change your retirement tax strategy. Why inherited IRA decisions require careful planning for surviving spouses. How beneficiaries, trusts, and proper account titling can help avoid costly mistakes. Want the Full Show Notes?

Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Attorney S. Diane Clair. A Georgia-based attorney, real estate law professor at Kennesaw State University, and founder of a law practice specializing in real estate, estate planning, probate, business, and contract law. The discussion focuses on wealth building through real estate investing, asset protection, and estate planning strategies for generational wealth. [S. DIANE CLAIR | Txt] Purpose of the Interview The primary purpose of the interview was to: Educate listeners about real estate investing opportunities, including lesser-known strategies such as tax liens and tax deeds. [S. DIANE CLAIR | Txt] Stress the importance of working with qualified legal professionals instead of relying on Google, social media, AI tools, or generic legal templates. [S. DIANE CLAIR | Txt] Promote wealth preservation through estate planning, particularly trusts and business structures. [S. DIANE CLAIR | Txt] Encourage minority communities to create estate plans and pass wealth to future generations. [S. DIANE CLAIR | Txt] Key Takeaways 1. Don't Rely Solely on Google, Social Media, or AI for Legal Advice Clair warns that many individuals attempt to create wills, trusts, and legal documents online without professional guidance. She emphasizes that legal matters require experienced attorneys because AI and internet sources may provide incomplete or incorrect information. [S. DIANE CLAIR | Txt] Why it Matters Legal mistakes can create costly problems later. AI-generated content can be inaccurate. Estate planning and real estate transactions require professional review. [S. DIANE CLAIR | Txt] 2. Real Estate Is a Powerful Wealth-Building Tool Clair argues that real estate remains one of the strongest ways to build and transfer wealth between generations. She highlights its relative stability compared to stock market fluctuations. [S. DIANE CLAIR | Txt] Benefits Mentioned Builds long-term wealth Generates passive income Creates assets that can be inherited Helps achieve financial freedom [S. DIANE CLAIR | Txt] 3. Start Real Estate Investing Through a Business Entity One of Clair's first recommendations is to establish a legal business structure before purchasing investment properties. Recommended Structures LLC Corporation Other formal business entities [S. DIANE CLAIR | Txt] She repeatedly stresses that investment assets ideally should not be owned in an individual's personal name. [S. DIANE CLAIR | Txt] 4. You Don't Need Large Amounts of Money to Invest A major myth she debunks is that real estate investing requires significant capital. Entry-Level Strategies Tax liens Tax deeds Foreclosure purchases Fix-and-flip projects Rental properties [S. DIANE CLAIR | Txt] According to Clair, investors can begin with relatively small amounts by purchasing tax liens and earning interest when property owners redeem them. [S. DIANE CLAIR | Txt] 5. Estate Planning Is Largely Ignored Clair shares a startling statistic: Approximately 64% of Americans do not have an estate plan. Among minorities, that number rises to about 70%. [S. DIANE CLAIR | Txt] She believes the problem is educational rather than financial, noting that even wealthy celebrities frequently fail to plan their estates. [S. DIANE CLAIR | Txt] 6. Trusts Are Better Than Wills for Many Situations Clair strongly favors trusts, especially irrevocable trusts, as vehicles for preserving wealth. Advantages of Trusts Avoid probate Potential tax benefits Asset protection Easier transfer of wealth Can operate while the creator is still alive [S. DIANE CLAIR | Txt] Difference Between a Will and a Trust Will Takes effect after death Goes through probate court Directs distribution of assets [S. DIANE CLAIR | Txt] Trust Can function during the owner's lifetime Avoids probate Can provide stronger protection and tax advantages [S. DIANE CLAIR | Txt] 7. Asset Protection Is Essential Clair explains that trusts can own: Real estate Bank accounts Businesses Investments Other valuable assets [S. DIANE CLAIR | Txt] Because the trust, rather than the individual, owns the property, there can be additional protection from lawsuits and claims. [S. DIANE CLAIR | Txt] Notable Quotes On Legal Services Beyond Personal Injury Law "You can hire lawyers for way more, and we can assist you in way more." [S. DIANE CLAIR | Txt] On Using AI for Legal Matters "AI is not really something you want to trust... It creates and makes up stuff." [S. DIANE CLAIR | Txt] On Professional Guidance "You want to book a consultation with an attorney." [S. DIANE CLAIR | Txt] On Real Estate Investing "A lot of people have that misconception that you have to have a lot of money to start investing in real estate, and that's not true." [S. DIANE CLAIR | Txt] On Generational Wealth "Real estate is something that is the best thing to invest in and pass down to future generations." [S. DIANE CLAIR | Txt] On Estate Planning "This is not a money thing... It's an education thing." [S. DIANE CLAIR | Txt] On Trusts "The best estate planning instrument is always going to be a trust." [S. DIANE CLAIR | Txt] On Asset Ownership "Don't have anything in your own name, have it in the name of the trust or in the business." [S. DIANE CLAIR | Txt] Overall Message Attorney Diane Clair's central message is that wealth creation and wealth preservation must work together. Building assets through real estate is important, but equally important is protecting those assets through proper business structures, trusts, estate planning, and professional legal guidance. The interview encourages listeners, especially entrepreneurs and minority communities, to think long term about generational wealth, asset protection, and financial legacy rather than short-term gains.

Aaron Boone plans to pull Aaron Judge early as the Yankees ease him back without a rehab assignment, and that could create a major late-game dilemma. If Judge leaves after five or six innings, the Yankees risk replacing their biggest bat just when the most important at-bats arrive. That leads to a wild alternative: why not bring Judge into games in the fourth or fifth inning and keep him available for the finish? The debate also turns to Spencer Jones taking over in center after Trent Grisham's hamstring injury and why getting Judge and the Yankees' offense fully ready for October matters more than ever.

What if the best way to create a better future is to focus on making today a great yesterday? In this episode, Dan Sullivan and Shannon Waller explore a simple, rewarding way to approach time that can reduce stress, sharpen focus, and help you feel more satisfied with each day as it happens. Here's some of what you'll learn in this episode:Why the last seven months have been the best of Dan's life.Why engaging in this process reduces stress.Why Dan hasn't been feeling any pressure from his ADHD.How this system creates a more satisfying daily experience. Show Notes: What you do today, and how you think about it, shapes your experience of tomorrow. Start each morning by deciding what would make today a great yesterday when you wake up tomorrow. When you focus on creating a great yesterday, tomorrow becomes less about worry and more about the commitments you make today. Creating great yesterdays can reduce the stress and regret you carry from the past. When tomorrow takes care of itself, you can feel less pressure and anxiety about the future. Getting emotionally attached to future possibilities can create anxiety because those possibilities don't yet exist. Each future possibility you become attached to competes for your attention today. Focusing on today can improve your concentration by freeing you from stress about the past and future. A simple point system can make daily progress more visible, playful, and satisfying. There are no punishments in this system—only rewards for actions that move your life forward. An activity is more valuable if you do it consciously. Resources: The Gap And The Gain by Dan Sullivan with Dr. Benjamin Hardy Not Being Bothered by Dan Sullivan

Most leaders think they're fixing a performance problem when they're actually managing a clarity problem. Dusty Holcomb, CEO and founder of The Arcqus Group, joins me to break down a deceptively simple idea: remove ambiguity and performance follows. We get specific about what “clarity” really means in leadership and why it has nothing to do with barking orders or tightening control.We talk through one of the hardest career transitions, moving from the person who gets results to the person who creates the conditions for other people to get results. That includes letting go of the spotlight, hiring people who are better than you, and shifting from “how to do it” instructions to clear outcomes that give your team agency. Along the way, Dusty shares a practical lens that instantly changes how you communicate: your question to statement ratio. The higher you go, the more questions you should ask and the better you must get at listening.We also explore the hidden friction that comes from expectations trapped inside a leader's head. Dusty explains how “rules of engagement” act like a decoder ring for your team: what you value, how you make decisions, how you prefer to communicate, how you give feedback, and what your non negotiables are. If you've ever felt frustrated that people “should just know,” this conversation gives you a better path, plus a simple two minute meeting prep framework you can use today.If you found this useful, subscribe on your favorite podcast app, share the episode with a leader who needs it, and leave a review so more people can find the show.

Groove is one of the most elusive parts of music, but it defines genre and often success. Why does some music feel good? Why do some bassists and drummers "lock"? And why is it so much harder than just clicking "quantize" on the computer?I think the secret to music's next phase is in the phase shift. AI isn't going anywhere, so we need to add more humanity to the human music. It's a weird future, but I believe in the funk.For 30% off your first year with DistroKid to share your music with the world click ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠DistroKid.com/vip/lovemusicmore⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

In this episode of The Modern Hairstylist Podcast, Hunter Donia and Jodie Brown dig into a concept that one of Hunter's all-time favorite Mastermind students put into practice and completely ran with: creating a signature methodology. Using the real example of Brandy Chavez, an Arizona based stylist who built her entire brand around a hard water detox method she developed herself, Hunter and Jodie break down why this strategy is one of the most powerful things a niched down stylist can do to set themselves apart and build the kind of loyalty that markets itself.This is not a conversation about copying what someone else has done. It is about recognizing what you are already doing uniquely, documenting it, and turning it into something your clients can identify with, talk about, and come back for.Key Takeaways:

You may feel diversified while quietly becoming more dependent on the exact same sources of wealth. In this episode of 20/20 Money: The Business of Optometry, I explore concentration risk from two angles that practice owners often don't connect: what's happening inside an investment portfolio and what's happening on their personal balance sheet as their practice becomes more valuable. We start with the S&P 500. Because the index is market-cap weighted, the companies that perform best naturally become larger portions of the index. Today, the largest companies represent a significantly greater share of the S&P 500 than they have historically. That doesn't make the S&P 500 a bad investment, but it does challenge the idea that simply owning VOO means you've built a complete, diversified portfolio. "VOO and chill" is an implementation strategy. It isn't an investment philosophy. The same phenomenon can happen with a successful optometry practice. You may never intentionally decide to put the majority of your net worth into one business. You simply grow a great practice. But over time, your income, distributions, enterprise value, and perhaps even your real estate can all become dependent on the same economic engine. Having a high net worth isn't necessarily the same thing as having diversified wealth. The solution isn't to stop growing the practice or abandon the S&P 500. It's to broaden the sources of your wealth. That means consistently harvesting excess cash flow from the practice and investing it outside the business while building a portfolio that captures more than just one segment of the market. We also discuss why this matters enormously when it comes time to sell your practice. The more financial independence you've created outside of the business, the less dependent you become on receiving a specific number or specific terms from the eventual sale—and the more optionality you have when navigating that transition. The Next Best Step: look underneath both sides of your balance sheet. Ask yourself how diversified your investment portfolio really is, what percentage of your family's net worth depends on the success of your practice, and whether you're intentionally becoming more diversified over time—or simply becoming more concentrated in whatever has worked recently.   Have a podcast-related question?

Comments from Christopher Waller supporting an interest rate hold for September is what Kevin Hincks sees keeping stocks steady into Thursday morning's trading action. Kevin explains how jobs and inflation data will support Waller's comments and outlines the latest jobless claims print. One sticking point to the rate hold thesis continues to be crude oil, which hit $93 ahead of the opening bell. Kevin also touches on Nvidia (NVDA) and its $12.93 billion purchase of Hugging Face. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

Scientists in the U.S. recently announced that for the very first time, they were able to use AI to create viruses never before seen in nature. Don't worry, though: these new viruses were designed to target specific strains of E.coli bacteria that have become resistant to natural antibacterials.This development marks a major milestone in the field of synthetic biology, and it opens the door to potential rapid advancements in human healthcare. Maybe these AIs can develop never-before-seen cures to horrible diseases. However, on the flip side, I think after living through the early 2020s ... we can all imagine how this can go horribly wrong.So today, let's go through the details of these newly created AI real-world viruses together.

What if childhood trauma didn't make you fall apart but instead made you highly capable, responsible, resilient, ambitious, and successful? Trauma doesn't always look like dysfunction. For some high-achieving women, it looks like becoming the strong one, the responsible one, the woman everyone depends on, or the entrepreneur who always figures it out. In this episode of The Art & Skill of Coaching, Jess DeMarchis shares her personal experience with childhood trauma, C-PTSD, healing, and high achievement, and explores the unexpected strengths and hidden costs that can come from becoming exceptionally good at surviving. You'll learn how childhood trauma can contribute to patterns like perfectionism, hyper-independence, people-pleasing, over-functioning, overworking, hypervigilance, and an unusually high tolerance for stress. These adaptations may help you build a successful career, business, and life, but eventually the same strategies that helped you survive can make it difficult to rest, receive support, trust yourself, feel safe, or actually enjoy what you've created. Jess also explains the concept of the trauma drive: when achievement and ambition become partially fueled by survival, and why reaching the next milestone often doesn't create the peace, security, or sense of enoughness you expected it to. The goal isn't to become less resilient, capable, or ambitious. It's to keep the strengths that helped you succeed while letting go of the fear, pressure, hypervigilance, and survival patterns attached to them. If you've built an impressive life but still struggle to relax, stop proving yourself, feel safe in your success, or believe you've finally done enough, this episode will help you understand why.

A nursing home in New Hampshire had a cute way for their residents to beat the heat...they made a human car wash out of inflatable rainbow sprinklers and pushed their wheelchairs through it! VIDEO: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/LPV-KS8LWu4

Hi Mamas, ,  What if the goal isn't to get better at doing everything... but to make some of it easier?  As busy working moms, we become incredibly capable. We manage careers, kids, calendars, meals, appointments, school activities, relationships, homes—and about a million tiny details no one else seems to realize we're keeping track of.  And somewhere along the way, we can start believing that because we're capable of doing it all, we should do it all.  But this week's Monday Mindset is your reminder:  “Every task you simplify creates space for something that matters more.”  Because simplifying your life isn't just about saving time. It's about deciding what you want to do with the time you get back.  Maybe simplifying dinner gives you more time to sit with your family.  Maybe automating a task gives you time to take a walk.  Maybe delegating something gives you more patience with your kids.  Maybe finding a faster way to handle something at work helps you close your laptop on time.  Or maybe that extra time gives you a few minutes to sit on the couch and do absolutely nothing—and yes, mama, that counts too.  In today's Monday Mindset, we're talking about why being capable doesn't mean you have to do everything yourself, why productivity shouldn't simply mean squeezing more into your day, and how simplifying the small things can help reduce your mental load and create more work-life balance.  Because the goal isn't to become more efficient so you can do more.  The goal is to become more efficient so you have more room for the people, priorities and moments that matter most. 

What You Will Learn In this episode, you will discover how the most powerful experiences are engineered around a single shared emotional trigger that lives in both the audience and the brand simultaneously. You will learn why most corporate and museum experiences entertain without transforming, and what business leaders must do differently. Guest Bio Bob Rogers is the founder of BRC Imagination Arts, a globally recognized experience design firm with 44 years of work spanning presidential libraries, cultural institutions, and major brand homes. His projects include the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, the Jameson Distillery experience in Dublin, and the nine-story Johnnie Walker Princes Street experience in Edinburgh. Rogers began his career in the magic shop at Disneyland, an experience that permanently shaped his philosophy on identity transformation. His forthcoming book, Deep Story, distills decades of award-winning methodology into a practical framework any leader can apply. Website: BobRogers.com | Company: BRCweb.com Episode Summary Bob Rogers joins Michael Levitt on the Breakfast Leadership Show to discuss his forthcoming book, Deep Story, releasing September 8th. Rogers traces the origins of his approach to his days in the Disneyland magic shop, where he discovered that the most meaningful part of a demonstration was not impressing the audience but shifting their perception of what they themselves were capable of. For 44 years, BRC Imagination Arts has been designing permanent experiences for iconic institutions and brands. The defining question his firm asks is not whether visitors were entertained, but whether the experience changed what they do next. The conversation explores the core mechanism of Deep Story: finding the same pre-existing emotional trigger in both the audience and the subject, then building the entire experience around that common thread. Rogers argues this is what separates experiences that permanently alter behavior from those that simply produce a pleasant afternoon. The most resonant experiences cause people to feel that their own inner life is being articulated more clearly than they could manage themselves. Rogers also reflects on why he wrote the book, citing mentors such as Marty Sklar and Buzz Price, Disney Imagineering giants who invested in him early. He describes the book as paying that generosity forward to the next generation of leaders. Key Insights Transformation requires a target. Most organizations spend enormous resources creating experiences without defining the specific behavioral change they want to produce. Deep Story begins with that definition and works backward. The shared emotional trigger is the architecture. It is about locating the same emotional truth that already exists in both the audience and the brand, then making that overlap the structural foundation of everything. Identity shift is the highest outcome. The most powerful thing an experience can do is cause someone to see a new possibility in themselves. Entertaining is not transforming. Memorability and enjoyment are not the metric. The metric is whether the visitor leaves prepared to act differently.

Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Attorney S. Diane Clair. A Georgia-based attorney, real estate law professor at Kennesaw State University, and founder of a law practice specializing in real estate, estate planning, probate, business, and contract law. The discussion focuses on wealth building through real estate investing, asset protection, and estate planning strategies for generational wealth. Purpose of the Interview The primary purpose of the interview was to: Educate listeners about real estate investing opportunities, including lesser-known strategies such as tax liens and tax deeds. [ Stress the importance of working with qualified legal professionals instead of relying on Google, social media, AI tools, or generic legal templates. [ Promote wealth preservation through estate planning, particularly trusts and business structures. [ Encourage minority communities to create estate plans and pass wealth to future generations. [ Key Takeaways 1. Don't Rely Solely on Google, Social Media, or AI for Legal Advice Clair warns that many individuals attempt to create wills, trusts, and legal documents online without professional guidance. She emphasizes that legal matters require experienced attorneys because AI and internet sources may provide incomplete or incorrect information. Why it Matters Legal mistakes can create costly problems later. AI-generated content can be inaccurate. Estate planning and real estate transactions require professional review. 2. Real Estate Is a Powerful Wealth-Building Tool Clair argues that real estate remains one of the strongest ways to build and transfer wealth between generations. She highlights its relative stability compared to stock market fluctuations. Benefits Mentioned Builds long-term wealth Generates passive income Creates assets that can be inherited Helps achieve financial freedom [ 3. Start Real Estate Investing Through a Business Entity One of Clair's first recommendations is to establish a legal business structure before purchasing investment properties. Recommended Structures LLC Corporation Other formal business entities [ She repeatedly stresses that investment assets ideally should not be owned in an individual's personal name. 4. You Don't Need Large Amounts of Money to Invest A major myth she debunks is that real estate investing requires significant capital. Entry-Level Strategies Tax liens Tax deeds Foreclosure purchases Fix-and-flip projects Rental properties [ According to Clair, investors can begin with relatively small amounts by purchasing tax liens and earning interest when property owners redeem them. [ 5. Estate Planning Is Largely Ignored Clair shares a startling statistic: Approximately 64% of Americans do not have an estate plan. Among minorities, that number rises to about 70%. [ She believes the problem is educational rather than financial, noting that even wealthy celebrities frequently fail to plan their estates. 6. Trusts Are Better Than Wills for Many Situations Clair strongly favors trusts, especially irrevocable trusts, as vehicles for preserving wealth. Advantages of Trusts Avoid probate Potential tax benefits Asset protection Easier transfer of wealth Can operate while the creator is still alive Difference Between a Will and a Trust Will Takes effect after death Goes through probate court Directs distribution of assets Trust Can function during the owner's lifetime Avoids probate Can provide stronger protection and tax advantages [ 7. Asset Protection Is Essential Clair explains that trusts can own: Real estate Bank accounts Businesses Investments Other valuable assets Because the trust, rather than the individual, owns the property, there can be additional protection from lawsuits and claims. Notable Quotes On Legal Services Beyond Personal Injury Law "You can hire lawyers for way more, and we can assist you in way more." [ On Using AI for Legal Matters "AI is not really something you want to trust... It creates and makes up stuff." [ On Professional Guidance "You want to book a consultation with an attorney." On Real Estate Investing "A lot of people have that misconception that you have to have a lot of money to start investing in real estate, and that's not true." On Generational Wealth "Real estate is something that is the best thing to invest in and pass down to future generations." [ On Estate Planning "This is not a money thing... It's an education thing." [ On Trusts "The best estate planning instrument is always going to be a trust." On Asset Ownership "Don't have anything in your own name, have it in the name of the trust or in the business." Overall Message Attorney Diane Clair's central message is that wealth creation and wealth preservation must work together. Building assets through real estate is important, but equally important is protecting those assets through proper business structures, trusts, estate planning, and professional legal guidance. The interview encourages listeners, especially entrepreneurs and minority communities, to think long term about generational wealth, asset protection, and financial legacy rather than short-term gains.
