TARGETING DECISIONS AND THE ATOMIC BOMB Colleague Evan Thomas. This segment details the "Target Committee" meetings led by General Groves, who initially selected Kyoto as the primary target for the atomic bomb. Henry Stimson intervened, overruling the military to save Kyoto because of its cultural significance, fearing its destruction would brand the US as war criminals. The "Interim Committee" subsequently approved using the bomb on a "war plant surrounded by workers' homes," a vague definition attempting to balance military necessity with mass casualties. Thomas notes that a non-lethal demonstration was dismissed because officials feared a dud or Japaneseinterference would render it ineffective. NUMBER 2 1945 OKINAWA

The vision God has given you requires many decisions that need to be made for you to accomplish it, from simple decisions like the color of your website to major decisions like where should your business or ministry be located. So, is God directing every single decision you need to make? Not really. It is more like a partnership with God than God being a dictator. He is not micromanaging every decision you need to make in your calling. __________ Exodus 14:15–16 KJV, John 11:21–23 KJV, Genesis 2:19 KJV, John 14:12–14 KJV, John 15:7 KJV, 1 John 5:14–15 KJV, James 4:3 KJV, Acts 16:6–7, 9–10 KJV __________ Partner with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com/partner Connect with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com Leave a Comment: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com/comments __________
In this episode, host Travis Chappell and producer Eric run through ten rapid‑fire “two‑minute” money scenarios—from surprise IRS letters to flooded houses and hidden luxury spending—to reveal how Travis actually thinks under pressure. The conversation blends practical frameworks, blackjack metaphors, and relationship dynamics to show how to make saner decisions when cash gets tight or emotions run high. On this episode we talk about: What Travis would really do if he found $1,000 on the street How he'd handle a surprise $15,000 IRS back‑tax bill What happens if a relative leaves him a $50,000 windfall The first expenses he'd cut if his income went to zero overnight How he'd respond to a business cash crunch (without immediately raising money) Spotting obvious crypto scams that promise “30% monthly guaranteed” Whether he'd ever buy a luxury watch and how he'd think about resale value Why he prefers funding individuals in need over big, bloated charities What he'd do if rent was due with no emergency fund How he'd handle discovering $5,000 of unplanned luxury spending in the family budget Top 3 Takeaways Have a default plan for every major category. Knowing in advance how you'll handle windfalls, tax surprises, medical bills, and income loss keeps you from reacting emotionally and blowing up your long‑term goals. Speculation is fine—if it is truly play money. Whether it is blackjack or alt‑coins, any high‑risk bet should be money you are fully prepared to lose, not rent or retirement funds. Money and relationships are tightly linked. From lending to family to surprise spending, clear communication, shared visibility (via tools like budgeting apps), and firm boundaries matter as much as the dollars themselves. Notable Quotes “The boring answer is I'd probably just put it in the bank. The fun answer is I'd probably go play blackjack.” “You haven't discovered the secret 30‑percent‑a‑month investment. If it were real, every hedge fund on the planet would already be in it.” “I'll take care of what needs to be taken care of. Anything extra you want, you need to learn how to earn.” ✖️✖️✖️✖️

Welcome to the weekly communal Schauer, today we're discussing the history of new year's resolutions as well as the neuroscience of making them stick. You might be wondering “why is she taking so long on the phrasing of these goals?” That's a wonderful question *hypothetical* listener and the answer to that is because how you speak to yourself does matter. Decisions are changes, they are pivots - pivots are a rapid change in direction that, if not taken carefully or under control, can cause significant strain and even injury. “But that's muscle strain” - yes, however cognitive strain is also real and can cause you to fear pivots and change in the future. We're taking this slow, step by step, because I'm talking about how to make things stick (grip) so the pivot feels solid and stable! Thank you all for making this year absolutely fabulous, I would not be where I am without all y'all's (2nd person possessive plural pronoun btw) support and feedback. I'm wishing everyone a happy holidays, happy new year, and just a general sense of happiness as it's very much needed. Go easy on yourselves, you got this.

Target Market Insights: Multifamily Real Estate Marketing Tips
Sharon Karaffa is the President of Multifamily Debt and Structured Finance at Newmark. With over two decades of experience, she's built her career advising on agency lending, capital markets strategy, and multifamily finance. From starting in corporate finance at Fannie Mae to shaping lending strategies during volatile market cycles, Sharon brings a rare lens on long-term trends and real-time insights. She has led teams through critical transitions, including Fannie Mae's restatement period and the public launch of Newmark's multifamily platform, giving her a comprehensive view from both the borrower and lender perspective. Make sure to download our free guide, 7 Questions Every Passive Investor Should Ask, here. Key Takeaways How Sharon transitioned into multifamily lending during a corporate finance shake-up at Fannie Mae Why mentorship and sponsorship play a crucial role in long-term success The ongoing conservatorship of Fannie and Freddie—and what it means for agency lending How current interest rate volatility is reshaping investor and lender behavior The role of AI in the future of multifamily debt underwriting Topics Covered Falling Into Multifamily by Taking a Chance Sharon shares how she unexpectedly landed in multifamily finance after being offered three career tracks at Fannie Mae—and choosing the one she knew the least about. Navigating the Conservatorship Era A look at how Fannie and Freddie's placement under conservatorship in 2008 changed the structure of agency lending, from Treasury sweeps to regulatory capital planning. How Volatility Affects Lending Decisions Sharon explains how rate volatility has impacted investor confidence and what lenders consider when advising clients during market uncertainty. Bridge Loans vs. Agency Debt Sharon breaks down where potential distress may appear in the market and why deals underwritten with aggressive bridge debt may be more vulnerable. Lender Advice: Don't Wait for the 'Perfect Rate' Insight on why now may still be the right time to execute a deal—and how waiting on the sidelines may mean missing key opportunities. Tech and AI in Multifamily Lending Sharon shares how Newmark is experimenting with a proprietary GPT tool for internal underwriting and predictive analytics—and where AI still needs work.

Most men don't realize they're overstimulated, they just know something feels off. Focus is harder than it used to be. Decisions feel heavy. Creativity feels muted. And no matter how much effort they apply, their brain won't respond the way it once did. In this episode of REBUILT, Michael-David breaks down what's actually happening inside the male brain in today's hyper-stimulated world and why this mental fatigue is not a personal failure. Using real-world language, lived experience, and neuroscience-backed insight, this conversation explores how constant exposure to social media, notifications, short-form content, gaming, and nonstop input overloads the nervous system and quietly drains motivation, focus, and emotional bandwidth. Michael-David shares a powerful analogy from his triathlete career, where overtraining and undiagnosed Low-T led to chronic fatigue, confusion, and performance collapse despite discipline and desire being fully intact. The parallel is clear: just as the body breaks down under constant strain without recovery, the brain does the same under chronic stimulation. You'll learn: Why dopamine isn't a “pleasure chemical,” but a motivation and anticipation system How overstimulation lowers baseline drive and increases guilt and self-criticism Why willpower doesn't fix a nervous-system problem How mental overload disguises itself as laziness, procrastination, or lack of discipline What rewiring overstimulation actually looks like without extreme detoxes or perfection How small, visible wins and simple rewards retrain the brain to engage again Why awareness replaces shame, and recovery restores momentum This episode is for men who want to feel sharp again without beating themselves up for struggling in a world their brains were never designed to handle. If your mind feels fried, scattered, or constantly “on edge,” this conversation may be the clarity you didn't know you needed.

They explore how past experiences shape our beliefs, the role of habits in achieving goals, and the impact of social media on personal branding. Julie shares her journey of weight loss and giving up alcohol, emphasizing the significance of knowing what you want and working towards it. The discussion also touches on the value of community, networking, and the power of writing and publishing books as a means to influence others. The episode concludes with key takeaways on perseverance and the importance of setting clear goals. Takeaways Goal setting begins with understanding where you are now. Mindset is crucial for achieving future goals. Self-limiting beliefs from the past can hinder progress. Habits drive 95% of our behaviours; changing them requires conscious effort. Social media presence is essential for personal branding. Navigating controversial topics can impact personal relationships. Personal transformation often involves overcoming societal expectations. Community and networking play a vital role in achieving goals. Writing and publishing can enhance credibility and influence. Perseverance is key; it's about not giving up on your goals.

Inflation is no longer just a macroeconomic headline; it is a systematic distortion of the corporate financial engine. For finance teams, high inflation makes historical data obsolete and forces a fundamental rewire of capital allocation, debt management, and pricing strategies.In this episode of Corporate Finance Explained on FinPod, we move past "macro talk" to explore the granular impact of rising costs and the specific, advanced maneuvers successful firms are using to survive a high-uncertainty world.The Inflationary Distortion: Where the Models BreakWhen inflation spikes and stays sticky, static assumptions fail. The pressure is felt first in the supply chain but quickly migrates to the balance sheet:Gross Margin Compression: Direct hits from the Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) as raw materials, energy, and logistics rise aggressively.The Working Capital Trap: Inventory becomes a strategic nightmare. The rising replacement cost means companies must tie up more cash just to maintain the same volume of goods on the shelf.The Death of Standard Costing: Traditional models that set standard costs for the year become obsolete instantly, leading finance to chase "phantom profits" while real cash flow erodes.The 4 Major Strategic ShiftsInflation forces a paradigm shift in the relationship between finance and operations:Ruthlessly Dynamic Pricing: Annual price reviews are replaced by micro-adjustments and "pricing corridors." Finance must now lead sales by analyzing consumer elasticity weekly to protect margins without losing volume. Active Debt Management: As central banks raise rates, the cost of capital becomes a moving target. Treasury teams are shifting from floating-rate to fixed-rate debt to buy certainty against future spikes. Investment Reprioritization: High inflation forces companies to raise their hurdle rates. Long-term, low-margin projects are screened out in favor of high-return, short-payback investments that minimize exposure to future uncertainty. Valuation Reset: Inflation hits valuations twice—it lowers expected future real cash flows and increases the discount rate (WACC) used in DCF models, causing a sharp drop in present value.Tactical Case Studies: Masterclasses in ResilienceProcter & Gamble: Used "subtle deflation management" by redesigning pack sizes and promoting premium tiers to protect margins while keeping shelf prices stable.Walmart: Utilized its massive balance sheet as an inflationary hedge, intentionally overstocking inventory to lock in pre-inflation prices and steal market share.Delta Airlines: Increased forecasting velocity from quarterly to weekly to manage the extreme volatility of fuel and labor, allowing for faster operational pivots.The Finance Toolkit for High UncertaintyTo stay strategic, finance professionals must adopt these five non-negotiable tools:Build Scenario-Based Forecasts: Move away from a single base case to "Low, Base, and High" inflation scenarios to stress test margins.Integrate Finance with Sales: Provide the data infrastructure to analyze elasticity in real-time.Rebalance Capital Structure: Aggressively use interest rate swaps or shift to fixed-rate debt to lock in borrowing costs.Enforce Shorter Payback Horizons: Prioritize projects with immediate cash returns to reduce long-term risk.Granular Cost Visibility: Break down cost drivers into specific components (e.g., lithium, copper, regional shipping) rather than broad categories.
Liv Anderman, VP of Marketing at Findem, joins Pathmonk Presents to explain how domain-specific AI is reshaping talent decisions across recruiting, executive search, and internal mobility. Liv breaks down why generic AI tools and resume-based data fail to deliver real outcomes, and how Findem's 3D people data adds crucial context to hiring decisions. The conversation covers how modern talent teams discover and evaluate AI solutions, the role of trust and data quality in adoption, and why websites play a critical role in educating and converting high-intent buyers. Liv also shares leadership insights on positioning, pipeline growth, and staying grounded in data-driven decision-making in an increasingly noisy marketing landscape.

This week on Two Parents & A Podcast, we're back with Emily Oster (bestselling author, economist, and the data-driven voice behind ParentData.org) this time diving into some of the most common (and most stressful???) early parenting decisions. From breastfeeding and formula to alcohol while nursing, sleep training, childcare, discipline, screen time, and vaccines, Emily explains what's actually supported by research versus what's been inflated by guilt, outdated thinking, and internet panic. She breaks down why some benefits are smaller than they're often made out to be, why rigid “rules” can miss the bigger picture, and why parents deserve clearer context without shame. If you've ever questioned the parenting “rules,” this episode offers more context (not more rules) so you can decide what works for your family!!!

Welcome back to Mini Miracles From Minor Moments. I'm so glad you're here today, spending a few quiet minutes with me. In this episode, I reflect on how decision making touches every part of our lives, from the smallest daily choices to the ones that change our direction for years. At every age and stage, we are choosing, often without realizing how much those choices shape our peace, health, relationships, and sense of purpose. This conversation is especially close to my heart during seasons of transition and reflection. Decisions in Everyday Life Decision making happens constantly, whether we notice it or not. I share stories from my own life, including family memories, caregiving experiences, and moments of loss, to show how choices are formed through love, habit, faith, and reflection. Some decisions feel simple, like how we spend our time or care for others, yet they leave lasting impressions. Other decisions, such as health care choices or major life changes, require patience, prayer, and support from people we trust. All of them contribute to who we become. Building Wise and Grounded Choices Good decisions grow from clarity, values, and thoughtful reflection. They are shaped by listening, pausing, and considering long-term effects rather than reacting from fear or urgency. I talk about using simple tools like comparing options, identifying non-negotiables, and seeking counsel from people who have lived similar experiences. Growth often follows action, and even imperfect choices can teach us something meaningful. What matters most is acting with integrity, courage, and compassion for ourselves and others. Key Takeaways from This Episode Decision making is a lifelong practice that shapes our character, health, and relationships Small daily choices influence long-term peace and emotional wellness Personal stories and memories can guide present-day choices Reflection, prayer, and quiet time help create clearer thinking Wise counsel brings perspective and steadiness during life transitions Emotions offer signals but should not lead choices alone Listen & Connect

In this episode, Ricardo looks back at the year in projects with a mature and deeply reflective perspective, focusing on the lessons learned. He describes an intense year, marked by strong pressure for results, shorter deadlines, and increasingly tight budgets, where good planning ceased to be a differentiator and became a matter of survival. Execution took center stage, and mistakes became more costly. At the same time, artificial intelligence ceased to be a promise and became part of the daily routine of projects, bringing real productivity gains. AI did not replace the project manager; it replaced improvisation. Even so, the biggest challenge remained human: fatigue, overload, burnout, and failures caused by human exhaustion. The dispute between methods lost its meaning; those who knew how to adapt to the context won. Projects became more strategic, guided by value, purpose, and conscious choices for the future.

A wise asset owner builds on solid ground. Unless ground risks are clearly identified, projects can easily be delayed or delivered over budget. Some risks may not even be fully understood until an asset begins operations. In this final episode of three on ground risks and the asset life cycle, Karim Khalaf explains how one major European vehicle manufacturer only learned how the soil beneath their new manufacturing plant would act, once steel presses started working—effectively inducing a series of small earthquakes and setting foundations floating off the apparently solid sand they stood on. Assumptions about ground conditions can lead to costly and time-consuming emergencies during construction. An unexpected cavity, for example, may mean that work has to stop until the site is properly modelled. In the past, that could involve substantial costs and lengthy delays, as heavy geotechnical equipment is deployed. But, with the careful use of geophysical screening, answers can be delivered quickly, and work resumed, with costs kept under control. Rod Eddies describes how these two sets of techniques, namely broad geophysical screening and strategic geotechnical investigations, can be used together to create a detailed 3D model of the subsurface. This can be shared and used by those making strategic decisions, as well as by technical specialists and other stakeholders. Matt Waddicor of Fermi Development, who we heard from in the first episode, rounds up the advantages of using this approach throughout the asset life cycle, and shares how early investigations may support on time and on budget delivery, across the infrastructure sector. Guests Matt Waddicor, Development Programme Director, Fermi Development Rod Eddies, Solutions Director, Land, Fugro Karim Khalaf, Regional Business Line Manager, Middle East, Fugro Partner Fugro is the world's leading Geo-data specialist, collecting and analysing comprehensive information about the Earth and the structures built upon it.

From the very beginning, the Jeffrey Epstein investigation in Palm Beach was conducted behind a wall of secrecy that overwhelmingly benefited Epstein and no one else. Critical decisions were made out of public view, victims were kept deliberately in the dark, and standard prosecutorial transparency was abandoned in favor of backroom negotiations. Law enforcement and prosecutors treated Epstein not like a serial sexual abuser of minors, but like a delicate asset whose comfort and cooperation needed to be preserved at all costs. The grand jury process itself became a black box, with no meaningful explanation ever provided to the public about why explosive testimony resulted in such minimal charges. This secrecy wasn't incidental—it was foundational, shaping every step of the case in a way that insulated Epstein from real exposure and accountability.As the case progressed, that secrecy hardened into a structural bias that tilted the entire justice system in Epstein's favor. Victims were denied basic rights, including notification and participation, while Epstein's legal team enjoyed unprecedented access, deference, and influence. Decisions that should have been tested in open court were quietly resolved through sealed agreements, non-prosecution deals, and legal gymnastics that protected Epstein from federal charges entirely. Even years later, efforts to unseal records or examine how the case was handled have been met with resistance, delay, and institutional defensiveness. The Palm Beach investigation stands as a case study in how secrecy can be weaponized by power—transforming a criminal inquiry into a managed outcome designed to protect the perpetrator and bury the truth.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com
