Ben and Tom discuss the rare coordinated currency intervention with the US joining Japan and possibly Korea to prop up the yen from 164 to 155, Japan spending at least $53 billion with the US chipping in over $1 billion — reportedly by selling euros rather than dollars in a strategic move to pressure Eurozone policy while supporting Japan, Bessent's incentive to keep Japan from dumping US Treasuries, Japan's plan to tap a COVID-era $60B/day USD swap facility, Iran signaling that Hormuz talks with Oman are entering the final stages after MBS urged Trump to prioritize dialogue, and the market reaction with oil down 5% to the high-$70s/low-$80s, the 10-year at 4.68%, and stocks up 0.5%.Join our live YouTube stream Monday through Friday at 8:30 AM EST:http://www.youtube.com/@TheMorningMarketBriefingPlease see disclosures:https://www.narwhal.com/disclosure

www.marktreichel.comhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/mark-treichel/ In this episode, Mark Treichel sits down with Lenwood Brooks — former chief of staff to NCUA Chairman Rodney Hood, former Director of Government and Industry Relations at the Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas, and now a managing director at Performance Trust Capital Partners — for a wide-ranging conversation about what happens to NCUA next.Lenwood walks through the mechanics of Senate confirmation for nominee John Crews, including why the shift to en bloc cloture votes has compressed a process that took Kyle Hauptman four or five months down to a matter of weeks. He explains why confirming Crews is a step toward resolving the quorum question but not the resolution — the agency stays under what he calls a gray cloud until the board reaches at least two members or a court rules.The conversation then turns to what recent removal-power litigation means in practice. If the reasoning in the Federal Trade Commission case holds, the six-year NCUA board term no longer functions as designed. Board seats become tied to a presidential administration, and Lenwood's advice to credit unions is direct: prepare for the NCUA to run a lot more like the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, with drastic swings in supervisory priorities between administrations.Mark and Lenwood also cover what it is like to arrive at NCUA as a political appointee amid an experienced career staff, why career staff become a force multiplier once they trust you, the trend of NCUA board members coming out of Senate Banking Committee staff rather than from credit unions, and the balance sheet lesson from March 2023 — that chasing yield and duration alone gives you a single-dimension picture of a multi-dimension problem.Finally, Lenwood offers the observation credit union leaders will recognize immediately: examiners often do not appreciate that a passing comment can set off a fire drill in the C-suite that takes weeks to resolve. A whisper from an examiner comes across as a yell.Reach Lenwood Brooks at lbrooks@performancetrust.com.

The yen is staging a dramatic comeback after Japan and the United States joined forces in a rare coordinated intervention to stop the currency’s slide. The Japanese currency has climbed nearly 4 per cent against the Singapore dollar since the intervention, raising hopes that the worst may be over for the battered yen. But can authorities really reverse the currency’s long-term decline in a global market worth trillions of dollars a day? And what could a stronger yen mean for Singaporeans heading to Japan, global markets and the wider economy? On The Big Story, Hongbin Jeong speaks with Lim Jun Kit, Senior Strategist, Phillip Nova, to find out more. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Elizabeth April, remote viewer and consciousness guide, reveals that our biggest barrier isn't external control—but giving away our attention to fear-based frequencies. The shadow government, synthetic frequencies, and CERN are distractions. True power comes from reclaiming your focus and choosing neutrality over emotional reaction.From remote viewing Jesus as a golden energy web to exposing the 2026 World Cup as a rigged battle between light and dark factions, Elizabeth shows why humanity is now at a tipping point. Stop feeding fear—start creating consciously. Your attention is the currency of life, and where you place it builds your reality.We explore CERN's timeline collapse, the split between old and new earth, 5D ascension, extraterrestrial DNA, and why chaos is the perfect frequency for manifestation.The new earth is waiting in your sovereign choice. Will you keep reacting to the puppet show—or finally step into your role as the creator?___

Send us Fan MailWhat if the true measure of agriculture isn't yield or profit—but energy?In this thought-provoking episode, Jared Sorensen sits down with regenerative agriculture pioneer Reginaldo Haslett-Marroquin to explore a transformative perspective on farming. Reginaldo challenges conventional ideas about food production, wealth, and our relationship with the natural world, arguing that farms are far more than commodity-producing factories—they are living systems designed to capture, transform, and regenerate energy.Drawing from decades of experience designing regenerative agroforestry systems, he explores how sunlight, soil biology, plants, livestock, and people are all connected through the continuous flow of energy. He reveals why regenerative agriculture isn't simply about sustainable practices—it's about restoring ecosystems, building resilient regional food systems, and creating lasting wealth for communities rather than extracting profit.You'll also hear how his poultry-centered regenerative model integrates trees, livestock, soil health, biodiversity, and local economies into a thriving ecosystem that benefits farmers, consumers, and the planet alike.Whether you're a farmer, entrepreneur, sustainability advocate, or simply curious about the future of food, this conversation will challenge your assumptions and inspire a new way of thinking about agriculture.In this episode, you'll discover:Why energy—not profit—is the true currency of regenerative agricultureHow healthy ecosystems naturally create abundanceThe role of livestock in accelerating soil regenerationWhy regenerative farming requires systems thinking beyond the farm gateHow community-driven food systems can build long-term economic resilienceTune in for a fascinating conversation that redefines what it means to farm regeneratively—and why the future of agriculture starts by understanding the flow of energy.Connect with Reginaldo Haslett-Marroquin:Email: regi@regenagalliance.org or bec@regenagalliance.org#RegenerativeAgriculture #SustainableFarming #Agroforestry #SoilHealth #FoodSystems #RegenerativeFarming #Agriculture #ClimateSolutions #FarmInnovation #Livestock #PoultryFarming #CircularEconomy #EnvironmentalStewardship #RuralDevelopment #ProfitableSteward #Podcast #AgriculturePodcast #JaredSorensen #ReginaldoHaslettMarroquin #RegenAgAllianceJump over to YouTube to catch the video of this and all podcast episodes.https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLpLUbiwmZtkszQAjdtlO8ZQiJjgrYGr1x

Two U.S. banks are already gone in 2026 — Metropolitan Capital Bank in Chicago and Community Bank & Trust in Georgia — and federal regulators are not calling these isolated incidents. The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and the Federal Reserve are both issuing stark warnings about rising credit stress across the financial system, and they're pointing at the same pressure point: commercial real estate loans coming due in a high-rate environment with no viable exit.The mechanism is straightforward once you see it. Commercial real estate doesn't run on 30-year mortgages. Buildings purchased between 2016 and 2019 at low rates are now hitting refinance windows with offices running half empty and interest rates nowhere near where they need to be. When the math doesn't pencil out, the loan goes bad. When enough loans go bad, the bank follows. Sean walks through how Metropolitan Capital was unwound through a Detroit acquirer and how the LaGrange failure tracked the same pattern — and why regulators are no longer willing to call them coincidences.Downtown cores hollowed out by remote work are the kindling. Seattle is running 40% office vacancy. The cap rates don't support the debt. The two bank failures we've seen are early signals, not outliers — and this is the same opening chapter the S&L crisis and the Great Recession both started with before everyone decided it was a big deal. The closures are going to cluster.Subscribe to @reasonablenews and hit the notification bell — Sean will be tracking this as it develops, and you'll want to be ahead of it when the next one drops.#SanAntonio #MinimumWage #TexasPoliticsGO PREMIUM WITH REASONABLE+ FOR UNCENSORED ACCESS

Competitors can damage your margins, poach your best people, outspend you, undercut your prices and introduce technology that makes your current offer irrelevant. Worrying about them, however, is not a strategy. The better response is to build a competitive moat before you desperately need one. That means creating distinctive value, stronger client relationships, better delivery systems and advantages that rivals cannot easily or cheaply reproduce. How Much Attention Should We Pay to Our Competitors? Leaders should understand their competitors clearly, but they should not allow competitors to dictate every business decision. The objective is informed awareness rather than corporate paranoia. The intensity of competition depends on the market. In a commodity sector, price and supply capacity may determine almost everything. In a narrow market with only a few suppliers, gaining market share may be extremely difficult. Currency movements, technological disruption, regulatory changes, capital availability and the loss of key employees can also alter the competitive balance overnight. A rival with hundreds of salespeople may reach far more potential buyers than your team of twenty. A heavily funded newcomer may willingly destroy industry pricing to purchase market share. These threats are real, but constantly reacting to them can pull your organisation away from its own strategy. Do now: Identify the three competitor actions that could most seriously affect your revenue, margins or client retention. Why Is Competing on Price So Dangerous? Price competition is dangerous because a rival with deeper pockets can sustain losses for longer than you can. Once buyers become accustomed to discounted pricing, restoring the previous market rate can be painfully difficult. Many companies spend years building their prices to a sustainable level. Then a new entrant arrives and offers a similar product for substantially less. The newcomer may not need to make an immediate profit. It may be funded by a parent company, private equity, venture capital or profits from another division. This creates a zero-sum battle of winners and losers. Smaller firms often cannot match the discount without destroying their own margins. The answer is not always to become cheaper. It is to make direct price comparison harder by changing the value equation. Instead of allowing an apple-to-apple comparison, create a musk-melon-to-apple comparison. In Japan, premium musk melons command extraordinary prices because buyers perceive them as a completely different category of value. Do now: List the services, expertise, guarantees or outcomes that could move your offer beyond a direct price comparison. What Is a Competitive Moat in Business? A competitive moat is an advantage that protects your clients, revenue and market position from attack by rivals.Strong moats are valuable to buyers and difficult, expensive or time-consuming for competitors to copy. A moat might consist of proprietary technology, trusted relationships, specialist expertise, exclusive distribution, superior service, faster delivery, a powerful brand or a deeply embedded client ecosystem. In business-to-business markets, the moat may be the accumulated trust created through years of reliable execution. The irony is that companies usually need to build these defences while business is going well. Unfortunately, good times create complacency. Leaders are busy serving current demand, employees are fully occupied and there appears to be no urgent reason to invest in protection. That is precisely when the work should begin. Once the crisis arrives, the organisation may lack the time, cash or management attention required to respond properly. Do now: Ask what clients would genuinely miss if your company disappeared tomorrow. Their answers reveal the foundations of your moat. Why Do Companies Wait Until a Crisis to Innovate? Companies delay innovation because the cost and inconvenience are immediate, while the danger of doing nothing appears distant. A crisis suddenly reverses that calculation. Our experience at Dale Carnegie Tokyo Training illustrates the problem. Business was surging during 2018 and 2019. Revenue was strong, demand was high and the organisation was occupied with delivering training. Everything looked pretty peachy. Then Japan confirmed its first COVID-19 case in January 2020. Clients began cancelling scheduled programmes, and the outlook changed dramatically. We had no sufficiently developed moat against the disappearance of face-to-face delivery. Dale Carnegie had conducted virtual training internationally since 2010, but introducing it properly in Japan required curriculum translation, instructor development, producer training and financial investment. Before the pandemic, those barriers encouraged us to dawdle. Once survival was at stake, we found the money, time and determination remarkably quickly. In retrospect, the capability should have been built before the crisis. Do now: Identify one strategic capability your organisation keeps postponing because there is no immediate urgency. How Can a Business Create Value Competitors Cannot Copy? Distinctive value comes from solving client problems more completely, conveniently or reliably than the alternatives. The strongest advantages often combine several modest benefits into one difficult-to-replicate system. Leaders frequently believe they already provide sufficient value. The more useful question is: what additional impact could we create for the buyer? A manufacturer might attach consulting, installation, training or maintenance services to a physical product. A professional services company might add diagnostics, benchmarking, follow-up coaching, digital resources or implementation support. A software provider might reduce risk through stronger onboarding, integration assistance and user education. Some additions will cost money without producing an immediate, separate fee. That does not automatically make them a bad investment. Real moats are expensive. If an advantage is cheap and simple to introduce, competitors will reproduce it quickly. The goal is to provide musk-melon value at an apple price—or at a price only slightly above the apple. Do now: Brainstorm ten ways to save clients time, reduce their costs, lower their risk or improve the quality of their results. Should We Build a Competitive Moat When Business Is Strong? The best time to build a competitive moat is when revenue is healthy, clients are buying and the company still has strategic choices. Waiting until sales collapse removes many of those choices. Good times always feel as though they will continue. They do not. Economic downturns, geopolitical shocks, technological change, new regulations, shifts in buyer behaviour and unexpected competitors can all expose weaknesses that were invisible during periods of growth. This does not mean leaders should become pessimistic or divert unlimited resources into defensive projects. It means allocating regular time and budget to resilience, differentiation and innovation. Executives should examine which revenue streams depend on one client, one delivery method, one salesperson, one supplier or one technology platform. They should also test whether their supposed advantages are truly valuable to clients or merely internal beliefs. Moat building should become part of normal strategy, not an emergency activity launched after the castle is already under attack. Do now: Review your strategic plan and assign an owner, budget and deadline to one moat-building initiative. What Should Leaders Do About Competitors Now? Competitors deserve attention, but obsessing over them will not protect your business. The strongest defence is to become more valuable, more distinctive and more difficult to replace. Study the market, understand emerging threats and watch for changes in price, technology, regulation, talent and client expectations. Then turn the attention back to your own organisation. Ask what you can provide that buyers value and competitors struggle to reproduce. Look for ways to combine products with services, expertise with technology and quality with greater speed or convenience. Most importantly, do not wait for the next crisis. Build the moat while the business is healthy, because the moment when you urgently need protection is usually the worst possible moment to begin constructing it.

OVERVIEW: For years, women have been taught to chase smaller. A smaller body. A smaller number on the scale. Smaller meals. Smaller portions. Smaller everything. But as we move into our late 30s, 40s, 50s, and beyond, the goal cannot just be getting smaller. The goal needs to be getting stronger. In this episode, I am talking about why muscle is truly the currency of longevity and why building and preserving muscle is one of the best investments a woman can make in her long-term health. Muscle is not just about looking toned. It supports your metabolism, blood sugar regulation, insulin sensitivity, bone health, posture, balance, strength, independence, and resilience as you age. This is especially important for women in midlife. Hormonal changes, stress, poor sleep, years of dieting, under-eating, and random workouts can all contribute to muscle loss over time. Inside this episode, we cover: Why muscle is one of your greatest assets as you age Why women need to stop chasing smaller and start building stronger How muscle supports metabolism and body composition Why strength training is essential after 35 The difference between random workouts and structured training Why lifting too light may be holding you back Why under-eating can sabotage muscle and metabolism How GLP-1 users can protect muscle during weight loss One of the biggest mistakes I see women make is focusing only on the scale. But weight loss without muscle preservation is not the goal. The goal is not just weight loss. The goal is better body composition. That means preserving and building lean muscle while reducing excess body fat in a way that supports your hormones, metabolism, strength, and long-term health. If there is one thing I hope you take from this episode, it is this: muscle is not vanity. Muscle is about the kind of life you want to live 10, 20, and 30 years from now. If you are ready to stop guessing and you want a customized strategy that helps you build strength, support your metabolism, and create sustainable results after 35, apply for coaching or take the Phase Assessment Quiz linked in the show notes.

In this episode of "Financial Crime Matters," Kieran asks former senior banking regulators Lisa Arquette, Donna Murphy and Suzanne Williams to draw on their cumulative decades of insight related to US anti-financial crime regulation. Recently retired, Lisa, Donna and Suzanne discuss their roles in defining Bank Secrecy Act, or BSA, requirements over the past twenty years at the FDIC, Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, and Federal Reserve Board, respectively. Recalling that anti-money laundering oversight was once "given to the most junior [bank] examiner" and primarily involved asking tellers "what they did with cash," Lisa, Donna and Suzanne detail how the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, Congressional hearings and other events brought about the huge expansion of BSA responsibilities for financial institutions. In discussing their careers, Lisa, Donna and Suzanne also touch on how inter-banking agency conflicts were dealt with and what they wished their agencies might have accomplished but did not. Finally, they conclude by discussing the current shift in regulatory priorities manifest by the changing role of the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, or FinCEN, and the push to grant banking charters to digital asset companies and other fintechs.

This week on the RPGBOT.Podcast, the hosts ask the eternal tabletop question: what happens when your beloved fantasy RPG grows up, gets a driver's license, discovers firearms, and immediately becomes everyone's problem? We begin with PishPash My Memory is Trash merch, accidental mug design crimes, Pride, wizard bazookas, and Ash's long-simmering legal case against the movie Bright. Then we get to the real issue: how do you let someone fight Tiamat with an Uzi without turning your campaign into a spreadsheet, a war crime, or Shadowrun with the serial numbers filed off? Show Notes In this episode, the RPGBOT crew takes a deep dive into adapting fantasy tabletop RPG systems like D&D and Pathfinder to other technology levels, including modern fantasy, science fiction, cyberpunk-adjacent worlds, post-apocalyptic settings, and anything else where a greatsword might have to share table space with a grenade launcher. Tyler walks through the history of previous attempts to drag D&D-style mechanics out of the dungeon and into other genres, including d20 Star Wars, d20 Modern, Star Wars Saga Edition, Star Wars 5e, and the often-forgotten Modern Magic Unearthed Arcana. Along the way, the hosts dig into how those systems handled things like armor, hit points, wounds, vitality, class design, talents, occupations, reputation, and the eternal question of whether getting shot with a blaster should feel worse than being poked with a longsword. The conversation turns into a practical design checklist for anyone trying to run fantasy rules in a modern or sci-fi setting. The big issues are weapons, armor, hit points, movement, vehicles, skills, tools, hacking, currency, magic, classes, monsters, and access to dangerous gear. A gun that does more damage than a sword is easy to write down. Making that gun fun, balanced, available, expensive, illegal, scary, and not immediately campaign-breaking is the actual work. The hosts also wrestle with the big philosophical question: at what point have you changed D&D so much that you should just play a different game? Tyler's rule of changing three major things makes its return, Ash argues for fantasy with modern aesthetics, Randall brings up comet-based magic awakenings and Maximum Overdrive, and everyone briefly imagines what happens when a party of adventurers has to fight a kaiju from inside a tank. Finally, the Question of the Week asks the most important dice-related question possible: what is your favorite die, and which one deserves to be thrown into the sea? Ash defends the d8 and declares war on the foot-stabbing d4. Tyler gives some love to the underappreciated d12. Randall hates the actual d100 because it is basically a tiny chaotic bowling ball that refuses to stop rolling. D20 Modern on DMsGuild (affiliate link) D20 Future on DMsGuild (affiliate link) SW5e Bright RPGBOT.Store DnD 5e modern rules UA "Modern Magic" Dan Helmick's update IMDB Maximum Overdrive Dimension 20: A Starstruck Odyssey Dice Miner (affiliate link) Key Takeaways Adapting fantasy RPGs to modern or sci-fi settings is not just about adding guns. You have to rethink combat assumptions, armor, hit points, movement, skills, equipment, enemies, and the economy. Previous d20-based games offer useful examples. d20 Star Wars experimented with wounds and vitality. d20 Modern used basic classes tied to ability scores, occupations, talents, and advanced classes. Star Wars Saga Edition showed some early design DNA that later appeared in 4e. Firearms and modern weapons change the math quickly. A pistol, rifle, grenade, or blaster can make traditional fantasy damage assumptions look very strange unless the system accounts for armor, accuracy, availability, legality, and consequences. Armor may need to work differently. In a modern game, characters probably are not walking around in plate armor, so armor might reduce damage, resist ballistic attacks, or be replaced partly by class-based defense or plot-armor-style scaling. Hit points can still work, but they need a clear interpretation. They might represent luck, stamina, near misses, tactical positioning, or cinematic survival rather than literal meat points. Vehicles change encounter design. Horses and overland travel are one thing. Cars, motorcycles, tanks, aircraft, and spaceships make movement, chase scenes, distance, and random encounters much more complicated. Skills and tools need updating. Computers, hacking, piloting, driving, engineering, and modern medicine may need to be skills, tool proficiencies, lore-style specialties, or full subsystems depending on how important they are to the campaign. The modern world makes Strength harder to justify unless the game gives it a reason to matter. Close quarters, carrying capacity, melee restrictions, grappling, armor, and specialized builds can help keep strong characters relevant. Classes may need reskinning rather than replacement. A barbarian might become a super-soldier, a rage-serum bruiser, or a minigun-wielding menace. A cleric might serve an ideal, philosophy, cosmic force, AI god, or belief system rather than a traditional deity. Magic can stay magical, become technology, or sit beside technology. Fireball might still be a spell, or it might be a grenade, a rocket launcher, a plasma weapon, or a problem for your insurance provider. Monsters still work if you treat them thoughtfully. Vampires, mind flayers, zombies, kaiju, and the Tarrasque can all survive in modern settings if their defenses, tactics, environment, and narrative role make sense. Access matters. Just because tanks, RPGs, and military hardware exist does not mean the party can buy them at Fantasy Costco. Price, legality, scarcity, black markets, and consequences are balancing tools. Currency may be better handled abstractly. Modern money can become tedious fast, so a wealth stat or resource system may work better than tracking every nickel, dime, credit card, crypto wallet, and suspicious suitcase full of cash. Tyler's three-change rule is a useful warning sign. If you need to make three huge changes to force D&D into another genre, consider whether another RPG already does what you want better. The episode's greatest lesson may be this: you can absolutely kill Tiamat with an Uzi, but first you need to know what that does to armor class, encounter balance, campaign tone, and the local black market.

Alex Shahidi, Managing Principal and Co-CIO at Evoke Advisors and co-portfolio manager of the RPAR Risk Parity ETF and UPAR Ultra Risk Parity ETF, returns to Lead-Lag Live for the next single-topic risk-parity conversation — this one focused on commodity producers as the inflation-hedging equity sleeve inside a modern balanced portfolio. Alex makes the structural case for owning commodity producer equities rather than commodity futures — the tax efficiency, the equity risk premium layered on top of the commodity exposure, and the 50+ year track record of outperforming global equities by roughly 2% a year. He walks through how RPAR and UPAR construct the sleeve using the broad Morningstar Global Upstream Natural Resources Net Return Index (roughly a third energy, a third industrial and precious metals, a third agriculture), why diversification within the sleeve matters more than picking a single subsector, and why the diversification benefit shows up most when it's needed most — 2022 (equities down 18%, producers up 15%), Q1 2026 (equities down 3%, producers up 20%), and the 1970s (13%+ annualized for a full decade of stagflation). He also gets candid about the behavioral difficulty of holding this sleeve as a standalone position — the 20-30% higher volatility versus global equities, the extended stretches where it deviates significantly from the broader market, and why rebalancing across the risk-parity buckets is what actually captures the long-run edge. The conversation closes with the practical case for RPAR versus a traditional 60/40: what inflation looks like when you zoom out over 100 years, why "low and stable" is the abnormal regime rather than the normal one, and where inflation-linked bonds fit alongside the commodity producer sleeve. Topics covered: (00:00) Opening — another Lead-Lag Live single-topic risk-parity conversation with Alex Shahidi (00:30) Alex introduces Evoke Advisors, RPAR and UPAR, and the risk-parity framework (02:18) Why commodity producer equities instead of commodity futures — tax efficiency and the equity risk premium (04:13) Devil's advocate: are gold miners and other producers actually equities in disguise? (05:09) How the broad producer index is constructed — energy, metals, agriculture, and why diversification within the sleeve matters (06:07) Contango, backwardation, and why the futures path complicates the futures-based approach (07:27) Historical case study — 2022 (equities -18%, producers +15%) and Q1 2026 (equities -3%, producers +20%) (08:50) The 1970s parallel — 13%+ annualized during a decade of stagflation (10:10) Why correlation is a byproduct — divergence shows up when you need it most (12:05) The 55-year track record — 2% annualized outperformance vs global equities, liquid and tax efficient (13:32) Currency exposure and dollar sensitivity in the producer sleeve (14:27) The behavioral challenge — 20-30% more volatile than equities and the discipline required to hold it (17:40) Rebalancing as programmatic mean reversion — why trimming winners matters over full cycles (19:37) Making the case for RPAR versus a traditional 60/40 — the inflation-hedge gap (20:36) Zooming out — 100 years of inflation history and why "low and stable" is the abnormal regime (21:31) Where inflation-linked bonds fit alongside the producer sleeve in a full risk-parity framework About Evoke Advisors: Evoke Advisors is a large, independent registered investment advisor headquartered in Los Angeles, co-founded by Alex Shahidi. The firm co-portfolio-manages the RPAR Risk Parity ETF and the UPAR Ultra Risk Parity ETF, both built on the principle that a balanced portfolio should diversify across economic environments — not just across asset classes.

The latest episode of the Consumer Finance Monitor podcast examines a significant and coordinated regulatory initiative that could reshape anti-money laundering and countering the financing of terrorism (AML/CFT) compliance across the financial services industry. In this episode, host Alan Kaplinsky and guest Celia Cohen, a partner in Ballard Spahr's White Collar Defense and Investigations Group, analyze the joint notice of proposed rulemaking issued by the federal banking agencies Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, and National Credit Union Administration—alongside a parallel proposal from Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN). Together, these proposals represent one of the most important efforts in years to modernize AML/CFT compliance frameworks, moving the system toward a more risk-based, effectiveness-driven model. Key Topics Discussed Include: A Shift Away from "Check-the-Box" Compliance "Establish and Maintain" — and Prove It Works SAR Filings and the Challenge of Judgment Calls Impact Across Financial Institutions Regulatory Signals: A Coherent Direction What Institutions Should Be Doing Now The Consumer Finance Monitor podcast will continue tracking developments as the rulemaking process advances and will revisit the topic when final rules are issued. Consumer Finance Monitor is hosted by Alan Kaplinsky, Senior Counsel at Ballard Spahr, and the founder and former chair of the firm's Consumer Financial Services Group. We encourage listeners to subscribe to the podcast on their preferred platform for weekly insights into developments in the consumer finance industry.

Randy Crabtree and Terrell Turner team up to co-host Episode 276 of The Unique CPA, previewing what's coming July 28th at Bridging the Gap 2026 in Charlotte. Four years in, the conference has moved past simply naming burnout and connection as problems worth discussing, with the focus now turning to implementation: accountability structures, longer workshop formats, and the potential for speakers to linger and chat with attendees in the future instead of disappearing once their time on stage is over. Tying directly into a session on loneliness at the top, Terrell reflects on his newly promoted manager, who quietly absorbed weeks of team burnout rather than raise it, feeling exactly the kind of isolation hits so many leaders, and reminding him how topical and on the nose BTG is every year. There's a session Randy's son is speaking at, which he'll admit up front he's a little biased about, and when talk turns to the gala's NASCAR theme, "The Winner's Circle," they decide that there will be multiple winners this year, with scores of folks playing the roles of pit crew to each other, all of them just trying to help the next person get further down the road.

We can't wait to experience miracles with you!   Welcome to a new episode of the Future Generations Podcast, where Dr. Stanton Hom sits down with crypto educator and private structuring expert Oto Gomes to unpack the nervous-system impact of our current financial system. Oto shares his journey from 12 years as an accountant into 14 years in crypto, and how he discovered that "without health, there is no wealth," connecting financial sovereignty with embodiment, mindset, and lifestyle. Together, they explore how traditional, wartime-style banking creates a parasitic, scarcity-based relationship with money and how trust law, private structuring, blockchain, and regenerative "toroidal" wealth systems can help people break financial trauma patterns, reduce stress, and build aligned, passive income and generational wealth.   Highlights: "Without health, there is no wealth."   "I feel like most people are stuck in this like parasitic mindset."   "Currency, this thing we call money, is infinite."   "Are you the player in the game or are you the observer of the game or the one playing the game?"
