Hustle culture nearly destroyed my health, my marriage, and my ability to be present for my daughters. In this deeply personal episode, I share why I stopped glorifying the grind and learned that working smarter not harder is the real path to sustainable success. From leaving Deloitte to build BudgetDog while caring for my daughter with Dravet syndrome, to discovering toxic mold that threatened our entire family's health, this is the raw truth about what endless hustle really costs. I'll walk you through the moments that forced me to choose between proving my worth through output and actually being present for what matters. Episode Timeline & Highlights [0:00] - Why hustle culture almost broke me [1:04] - The Big Four grind: Last man standing from my starting class [2:31] - Building a business from scratch isn't what Instagram tells you [3:44] - The moment everything changed: Logan's first seizure at 5 months [6:46] - October 2022: Turning the car around in a Michigan snowstorm [11:17] - The diagnosis that explained everything: Mold mycotoxins [14:19] - $300,000 gone in two months—and why we had to leave everything behind [20:04] - Dallas ice storm: Heart rate of 203 and another house rejection [23:13] - The health markers that scared us straight [29:10] - Making $1 million sitting by the pool vs. hundreds of thousands in a cubicle [32:34] - My new operating model: High-intensity spurts, not endless hustle [34:56] - Setting boundaries that actually stick Key Takeaways 1. Seasons of sacrifice are necessary staying there forever is dangerous - There's a time to grind, but knowing when to stop is what separates success from self-destruction 2. Your biggest breakthroughs come from rest, not burnout - The most strategic moves happen when you step back and think, not when you're drowning in details 3. Health markers don't lie - When your cortisol is shot and your testosterone drops, your body is telling you something the hustle bros won't   Quotables "I made $1 million sitting at a pool. I made a couple hundred thousand sitting in a cubicle at Deloitte." "You can run on the treadmill to get in shape, but if you run on it forever, you're going to fall off and hurt yourself." "Sustainable success comes from clarity, not chaos." "Our disadvantage led to our advantage if my daughter didn't have that seizure, we would've stayed in that toxic house much longer."   Links & Resources Learn more about BudgetDog Academy: https://budgetdog.com Connect with me on Instagram: https://instagram.com/budgetdog My book, The Roadmap to Financial Freedom: https://budgetdog.com/book If this episode resonated with you, share it with someone who needs to hear that rest isn't giving up it's gearing up for what's next.

“What we're seeing is, as the new carbon economy moves forward – and this is critical to businesses to operate in the future, in the next five, 10 years – it's colliding with the digital transformation and financial transformation. And so, I think one of the essential things our customers are asking is. ‘how do we bring together the Chief Sustainability Officer, the CIO and the CFO and the new market, digital and carbon economy as we go forward?' Because you need all three lenses to make a holistic decision for both the growth and resiliency of your company.” Mandi McReynolds on Electric Ladies Podcast Artificial Intelligence, A.I., is transforming sustainability work, from data collection to analysis to reporting. It's a tool to help assess risks and see opportunities, but humans bring the superpower. How? Listen to Mandi McReynolds, Chief Sustainability Officer at Workiva in this fascinating conversation with Electric Ladies Podcast host Joan Michelson.   You'll hear about: ●        How Workiva is leveraging A.I. to serve its clients across the board – from assessing materiality, to financial reporting and sustainability reporting, ●        How to use A.I. to minimize boring work and free up people to be more strategic and creative – in a few unique ways. ●        How to ensure the integrity of the data you're accessing with A.I. – and how to reduce the risk of your data being contaminated by A.I. hallucinations, etc. ●        Plus, career advice, such as:  “Your job isn't to know the answer. Your job is to ask all the right questions of where the business is going and think about your lens is adding value because you're going to ask a different question….Don't be afraid….(Align) with people who could see the possibility of (your) experience. And… take that stretch job and just remember you're in the room to ask different questions, and that's perfectly fine. So, take the stretch and then lean into your experience that allows you to have a different lens and a different perspective.” Mandi McReynolds on Electric Ladies Podcast   Read Joan's Forbes articles here.

OpenAI has made significant strides in the AI landscape with a series of announcements that position it as a leading platform in the industry. The introduction of new models, including the GPT-5 Pro and Sora 2, alongside app integrations like Slack and a new Apps SDK, marks a pivotal moment for the company. These developments aim to enhance user interaction and streamline workflows, allowing users to perform tasks directly within the ChatGPT interface. The partnership with Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) for a multi-billion dollar chip deal further solidifies OpenAI's commitment to expanding its computing capabilities, crucial for the advancement of its AI technologies.In a contrasting scenario, Deloitte has faced scrutiny after delivering a flawed report to the Australian government, which included errors attributed to the use of AI. Despite this setback, Deloitte is moving forward with a significant partnership with Anthropic to deploy their AI chatbot, Claude, across its workforce. This juxtaposition highlights the challenges and risks associated with AI integration in business operations, emphasizing the need for careful governance and oversight. The incident serves as a cautionary tale about the potential pitfalls of relying too heavily on AI without proper verification.The podcast also discusses the broader implications of AI adoption in enterprises, revealing that a majority of AI projects are failing due to governance gaps and a lack of trust in the technology. A survey by Gartner indicates that many IT leaders are concerned about regulatory compliance, with only a small percentage feeling confident in their organizations' ability to manage AI tools effectively. This situation underscores the importance of establishing robust governance frameworks to ensure that AI implementations are both effective and trustworthy.As the AI landscape continues to evolve, the podcast suggests that service providers should pivot towards building governance frameworks and risk management strategies rather than simply promoting AI hype. The focus should shift to creating value through responsible AI use, ensuring that clients can trust the technology they are implementing. This new approach positions governance as a critical service line, essential for navigating the complexities of AI adoption and maintaining client trust in an increasingly automated world. Three things to know today 00:00 OpenAI Builds the Windows of AI: New Models, App Store, SDKs, and a Chip Deal Signal Platform Takeover06:50 Deloitte's AI Paradox — A Costly Error in Australia, Followed by Its Biggest AI Expansion Yet09:38 AI's Next Frontier Isn't Innovation — It's Accountability, and That's Where MSPs Win This is the Business of Tech.    Supported by:  https://mailprotector.com/  All our Sponsors: https://businessof.tech/sponsors/ Do you want the show on your podcast app or the written versions of the stories?

Finance leaders know the struggle of managing endless spreadsheets, juggling data from every corner of the business, and trying to plan for a world that changes by the hour. In this episode, I talk with Julio Martínez, Co-Founder and CEO of Abacum, about how his team is helping finance professionals move from reactive reporting to confident, real-time decision making. Abacum was recently named the fastest growing tech company in Spain by Deloitte after increasing revenue by 6,733 percent in just four years. Julio shares the story behind that growth and explains how finance teams are transforming from back-office operators into true strategic partners. He describes how Abacum's platform helps CFOs and FP&A teams create accurate forecasts, automate manual work, and build scenario models that answer “what if” questions in minutes instead of days. We also talk about the role of AI in finance and why current large language models are not yet reliable enough for quantitative use cases. Julio discusses the need for precision, the importance of a human in the loop, and how new hybrid approaches are shaping the future of financial planning. From Barcelona to New York, his journey reflects the global rise of data-driven finance and the growing strength of Spain's startup ecosystem. Julio also leaves listeners with a thoughtful recommendation, Meditations by Marcus Aurelius, a book that continues to inspire him to stay grounded amid rapid change. If you want to understand how technology is redefining financial planning and how strong foundations can fuel extraordinary growth, this conversation with Julio offers a rare look inside the engine of one of Europe's fastest-rising tech companies.

What if the secret to confidence, peak performance, and even happiness wasn't about being perfect all the time—but learning how to access a powerful brainwave state on demand? In this conversation, I sit down with Dr. Izzy Justice—neuroscientist, performance coach, and author of Your Brain Swings Every Club—to explore the science of brainwaves, trauma, and what he calls “Chasing 10 Hertz.” You'll hear how endurance events, emotional relativity, and even micro-traumas shape confidence, how to intentionally “spike down” into presence, and why your brain's electricity is the language of the human experience. Dr. Justice breaks down how confidence and pessimism are simply access issues, why sensory input is the key to flow, and how to simplify your pursuit of peak performance in golf, business, and life. In this episode, you'll learn: Why doing hard things expands your benchmark for confidence and resilience How trauma—both big and micro—acts as the ultimate backdrop for your decisions The neuroscience behind brainwave states and their impact on performance What makes the 10 Hertz state so powerful and how to access it How to “spike down” when stress or distraction takes over Why happiness is really about amplifying sensory input A practical way to simplify performance by only being “perfect” twice a day Get your pencils ready and start listening.  P.S.

Trauma is the ultimate benchmark—it shapes risk perception more than success does. Electricity is the brain's language—high spikes drown sensory input and sabotage performance. 10 Hertz is the sweet spot—it amplifies sensory input and unlocks stored knowledge. Presence = sensory amplification—seeing, feeling, hearing more deeply in the moment. Flow isn't magic—it's measurable through brainwaves, heart rate, and oxygen levels. Be “perfect” twice a day—reserve your energy for the two most important moments instead of chasing constant perfection. Key Quotes: “Confidence and pessimism aren't traits—they're both access issues.” “We don't have to be perfect all the time—just perfect in the moments that matter.” “Electricity is the language of the brain—and therefore the human experience.” “Your trauma is your hostage, but you can use it as fuel instead of shackles.” “At 10 Hertz, sensory input is amplified and your best self shows up.” “Happiness isn't about possessions—it's about amplifying what you feel, see, and hear.” “The best experiences of our lives always happen in the same state—why keep it a secret?” Time Stamps: 00:00: The Allure of Ultra-Endurance Events 02:34: Emotional Relativity and Personal Growth 05:45: The Role of Trauma in Personal Development 08:32: Happiness and the Pursuit of Meaning 11:25: Amplifying Sensory Input for Fulfillment 14:15: Understanding Brainwave States and Performance 27:12: Understanding Trauma and Its Impact on Performance 28:49: The Power of 10 Hertz in Enhancing Sensory Input 31:39: Cognitive Functionality and Accessing Memory 37:41: Flow State: The Intersection of Performance and Presence 40:38: Perception of Time: How We Experience Moments 47:26: The Role of Substances in Achieving 10 Hertz 51:47: Actionable Takeaways for Achieving Peak Performance

Hosted by Chartered Occupational Psychologist Leanne Elliott and business owner Al Elliott, bringing you the latest workplace stories that actually matter. News Round Up Office Frogging - Gen Z's Job-Hopping Trend Gen Z workers are hopping from job to job like frogs on lily pads, chasing better pay and growth. But here's the thing - this isn't new. Millennials did this too, they just didn't have a catchy name for it. The real question: are you giving people a reason to stay?

Research from BetterUp Labs and Stanford found 41% of workers have been on the receiving end, costing almost two hours of rework each time. AI use at work has doubled since 2023, but 95% of organizations see no measurable ROI. Harvard Business Review article: https://hbr.org/2025/09/ai-generated-workslop-is-destroying-productivity Deloitte's £4.9m Pay Rise Problem Deloitte UK's chief executive Richard Houston received a 17% pay rise to £4.9 million while staff got 2.9% and revenues actually fell by 1%. He's now paid 65 times the median Deloitte salary. When staff see the boss's pay racing away from their own, fairness goes, then trust, then loyalty.

Left-Handed People Are More Creative Because They Use the Right Side of Their Brain The verdict: LIE. While Roger Sperry's Nobel Prize-winning split-brain research showed the hemispheres have distinct strengths, creativity doesn't belong to one hemisphere. Both sides work together constantly in healthy brains. Left-handers may have language spread across both hemispheres and larger corpus callosums, but that doesn't make them automatically more creative.

Céline Williams, founder of reVisionary and an award-winning executive coach, reminds us that critical thinking is one of the rarest yet most vital skills a leader can bring to the table. With over 20 years of experience in leadership development and organizational transformation, she shows how being intentional in our decisions means recognizing biases, questioning assumptions, and digging deeper to uncover root causes. We explore how to pause, reflect, and step back from automatic responses so that we can choose stronger, more sustainable solutions. Critical thinking is not about overcomplicating things. It's about courageously examining perspectives, challenging comfort zones, and modeling a better way of leading. Highlights 1. See Beyond the Obvious - We learn how to move past surface symptoms and uncover the real problems that need solving. 2. Recognize Hidden Biases - Every leader has biases. The skill lies in acknowledging them and not letting them drive decisions. 3. Question Assumptions - By naming and testing assumptions, we open doors to new insights and stronger strategies. 4. Practice Reflection Before Action - Individual reflection before group discussion creates space for fresh, unbiased ideas. 5. Courage in Leadership - It takes courage to step into uncomfortable conversations and model true critical thinking for our teams.

Las últimas revelaciones periodísticas sobre los correos electrónicos de Cristina Álvarez, asesora de Moncloa y secretaria personal de Begoña Gómez, han sacudido el caso judicial que investiga a la esposa de Pedro Sánchez. Un informe de la Unidad Central Operativa (UCO) de la Guardia Civil, entregado al juez Juan Carlos Peinado, contiene 121 mensajes intercambiados entre abril de 2021 y junio de 2024 entre Álvarez y Juan Carlos Doadrio, vicerrector de Relaciones Institucionales de la Universidad Complutense de Madrid (UCM). Estos correos, catalogados en tres apartados principales por los investigadores, demuestran una intervención constante de Álvarez en la gestión de la cátedra de Transformación Social Competitiva que codirigía Gómez, desmontando la versión de que se trataba de "favores puntuales" por amistad. El primer bloque del informe se centra en los contactos de Álvarez con instituciones para captar patrocinadores. Un ejemplo es la cadena de correos de julio de 2021 sobre la donación de 60.000 euros de Reale Seguros. Álvarez, usando su cuenta personal de Gmail, remite un mensaje firmado como "Begoña Gómez", solicitando certificados para Hacienda. Doadrio responde directamente a "Cristina", confirmando el envío del documento. Este patrón se repite en comunicaciones con la Cámara de Comercio, desde donde se envían mensajes indistintamente a ambas mujeres, o con Mercadona, para renovar unas adendas de financiación. La UCO destaca que Álvarez gestionó al menos una quincena de patrocinios, entre ellos cláusulas económicas y revisiones de convenios con entidades como la Fundación La Caixa, Indra y Deloitte. En el segundo apartado, los agentes detallan las negociaciones con empresas tecnológicas. Un correo del 6 de septiembre de 2022 revela la respuesta de Indra a Álvarez con una adenda firmada para la cátedra: "Hola Cristina, anexo la adenda con la corrección y firmada. Agradezco mucho vuestra ayuda para firmarla a la mayor brevedad posible". Posteriormente, se cruzan mensajes sobre el estado de la firma con copia a Gómez. Otro caso llamativo involucra a Google: solo 10 días después de un acto conjunto de Gómez con Miguel Escassi, director de Relaciones Institucionales de Google España, el 11 de julio de 2022, Álvarez dicta a Doadrio el texto literal para una carta solicitando 40.000 euros de colaboración. La UCO subraya que estos envíos desde cuentas personales no impidieron que fueran tratados como comunicaciones oficiales. El tercer bloque aborda las gestiones administrativas y financieras internas. Álvarez pedía explícitamente porcentajes de beneficios para la cátedra, como en un correo donde dice que hay que dar el 10% de los beneficios a la cátedra en referencia a Mindway, una empresa tecnológica. También se encargaba de logística para eventos en el CaixaForum Madrid. Estos correos, intervenidos del buzón de Doadrio, muestran una media de tres mensajes mensuales, lo que contradice la declaración de Gómez el 10 de septiembre, en la que aseguraba que Álvarez le ayudaba "esporádicamente" como amiga, sin asistencia profesional remunerada. Como vemos, la situación procesal de Begoña Gómez se complica conforme se avanza en el caso. Se encuentra imputada y en espera de juicio por cinco delitos: tráfico de influencias, corrupción en los negocios, malversación de caudales públicos, apropiación indebida e intrusismo profesional. Para tratar este tema, que está copando las portadas desde hace días he venido hasta Academia Play, donde junto a Javier Rubio Donzé analizaremos el tema con más calma. · Canal de Telegram: https://t.me/lacontracronica · “Contra el pesimismo”… https://amzn.to/4m1RX2R · “Hispanos.

In a special episode of the REIT Report, sponsored by Deloitte, a Nareit Platinum Industry Partner, Sally Ann Flood, vice chair and U.S. real estate sector leader at Deloitte, shared some of the highlights of Deloitte's 2026 commercial real estate outlook. Deloitte's survey of more than 850 c-level executives across North America, Europe, and Asia Pacific revealed optimism in the sector, with a sentiment index of 65. This marked a slight pullback from last year's high of 68, Flood noted, but is still positive. “We're seeing that leaders still see commercial real estate as potentially a safe investment haven, given its performance during similar periods of uncertainty in the past,” Flood said.According to the survey, 75% of global respondents plan to increase their investment levels in real estate over the next 12 to 18 months. Flood noted that as U.S. trade policy continues to be negotiated, and with a major tax bill now signed into law, “our survey shows the United States as the top market for investment opportunity in the near term, chosen by respondents 53% of the time.” During the interview, Flood also discusses key global property sectors and trends, capital markets and access to financing, AI integration in commercial real estate, and more.

Ever felt like so much of what happens at work is utterly meaningless, wasteful and backwards?You're not alone.In this eye-opening conversation with James Healy, founder of Behavior Boutique and author of "BS at Work," we dive deep into why modern work often feels like bullshit.What if the biggest problem in modern work isn't lack of effort, technology, strategy, or "better humans" but the simple fact that we keep designing for humans as if we were some logical machines… instead of messy, emotional, social creatures we are? James reveals the fascinating disconnect between how organizations design systems and how humans actually operate.We've built workplaces on the false assumption that humans are rational, logical beings making careful calculations, when in reality we're "social, emotional, tribal storytelling animals" who often make decisions based on context, ease, and what others are doing.Take modern communication crisis. The average worker now faces 153 Teams messages and 117 emails daily, with interruptions approximately every two minutes. This constant barrage prevents deep work, destroys focus, and fuels burnout. And with AI potentially supercharging this problem.But there's hope.James offers practical principles for creating more human-centered workplaces.What you'll learn:Why burnout is 100% preventable if we stop treating humans like machines.The shocking origin stories of tools like Myers-Briggs and DISC (and why they're no more valid than a Harry Potter quiz).Why e-learnings and endless policies fail.How context, not individual willpower, drives behavior change at scale.Why sometimes the most effective solution is illogical, creative, or has to do with removing, not adding things.The power of storytelling as a leadership tool for influence, motivation, and culture change.... and so much more!

Today, we are joined by Keith Ferrazzi.Growing up in western Pennsylvania in the 1970s, Keith would hear his father talk about practices going on at the steel mill where he worked, his manager telling him to slow down because he was making the boss look bad as he was outworking his peers. His father eventually became unemployed. The steel industry crash was in full effect in Pittsburgh and across the Rust Belt. Meanwhile, Japanese factories were adopting practices to drive efficiencies and deliver higher-quality products. Watching his parents take any job available to make ends meet led to Keith's mission of helping teams collaborate effectively to achieve exceptional results.‍Following his graduation from Yale, Keith went to work for a manufacturing company that was utilizing practices such as Total Quality Management, created by academics to expect more from frontline teams. After graduating from Harvard Business School, Keith joined Deloitte, where he became the youngest person to be elected partner and the global CMO at lightning speed. This experience prompted him to write his first book, “Never Eat Alone,” a story of how to radically accelerate success through better relationship management. This was the beginning of his lifelong calling and research into what makes teams high-performing and successful. Keith committed to founding his own research institute and coaching firm to inquire into and explore the practices of teamship. Today, he makes it his mission to evangelize that the world's best teams don't win because of leadership alone. They win largely because of their teamship.In this conversation, Keith shares the core principles that made him one of the world's most respected voices on professional relationships. He reveals personal stories from his journey and provides practical frameworks for building meaningful connections that go beyond traditional networking approaches.Key topics include:Generosity as the foundation of networking“Build before you need it” and Relationship Action PlanningIsolation—not talent—as the biggest career blockerAuthentic networking strategies for introverts“Never Eat Alone” and everyday opportunitiesBalancing prep with authentic interactionsRelationship scoring and smart follow-upBuilding brand through thought leadershipHow digital tools reshape networkingWhether you're looking to expand your professional network, overcome networking anxiety, or transform your approach to career advancement, Keith's insights provide a practical roadmap for authentic relationship building that creates lasting value for everyone involved.Keith Ferrazzi's Book: “Never Eat Alone” https://www.amazon.com/Never-Eat-Alone-Expanded-Updated-ebook/dp/B00H6JBFOS? Keith's Website: https://www.keithferrazzi.com/ Keith's Online Community: https://www.connectedsuccess.com/ -Website and live online programs: http://ims-online.comBlog: https://blog.ims-online.com/Podcast: https://ims-online.com/podcasts/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/charlesgood/Twitter: https://twitter.com/charlesgood99Chapters:(00:00) Introduction(01:00) Tool: Keith's Journey from Steelworker's Son to Business Success(03:00) Technique: Generosity as the Currency of Authentic Networking(06:00) Tip: The "Build Before You Need It" Principle and Relationship Action Planning(08:00) Tool: Overcoming Networking Awkwardness with Systematic Processes(10:00) Technique: The "Never Eat Alone" Philosophy in Practice(12:00) Tip: Strategic Preparation vs. Authentic Connection Balance(15:00) Tool: The Relationship Quality Scoring System (0-5)(17:00) Technique: Follow-Up Strategies and Personal CRM Systems(19:00) Tip: Building Personal Brand Through Thought Leadership(20:00) Tool: Digital Age Networking and Modern Relationship Building(21:03) Conclusion#CharlesGood #KeithFerrazzi #TheGoodLeadershipPodcast #NeverEatAlone #AuthenticNetworking #RelationshipBuilding #GenerosityFirst

In unserer heutigen Folge geht es um das größte Volksfest der Welt, das Oktoberfest oder „die Wiesn“ in München. Es geht auch um Bier, aber vor allem wollen wir einen ökonomischen Blick auf die Wiesn werfen. Wir besprechen, was der „Hendlindex“ über die künftige Konjunktur aussagt und wie er sich entwickelt. Ebenso geht es darum, was genau den Bierpreis auf dem Oktoberfest in immer neue Höhen treibt, warum die Wiesnbesucher sich von steigenden Preisen nicht abschrecken lassen und welchen Einfluss Währungseffekte für ausländische Besucher haben. Unser Gast ist Dr. Jürgen Michels, er ist seit 2013 Chefvolkswirt der BayernLB. Er und sein Research Team analysieren seit einigen Jahren mit ökonomischen Methoden die Wiesn, so haben sie den Hendlindex und den Big-Bayern-Bier (BBB) Index entwickelt.

In the 34th episode of the League Podcast, Benoy Thanjan and David Magid break down the most important trends shaping the renewable energy market today. In just five minutes, we cover the biggest opportunities and risks facing developers, investors, and innovators in solar, storage, and beyond.   Key Takeaways Data Centers Driving Demand – Over 9.4 GW of interconnection applications in New Jersey's PSEG market in the last 12 months, led by data centers and advanced manufacturing. Community Solar Boom – New Jersey targets 3 GW by 2029, opening opportunities for rooftop developers; Illinois, Maryland, and New York projects can now pencil without the ITC if interconnection and lease terms align. Hybrid Power Solutions – A 944 MW behind-the-meter natural gas + battery storage plant in Pennsylvania highlights the shift toward hybrid generation and reliability models. Solar + Storage vs. Gas – New Jefferies analysis shows solar + storage is now cheaper than natural gas on a levelized cost basis. Safe Harbor Updates – New rules replace the 5% test with “beginning of construction” standards for projects above 1.5 MW AC, requiring four-year continuity and physical work tests. Capacity Growth Outlook – EIA forecasts 64 GW of solar and 18 GW of storage additions in 2025, making solar nearly half of all new U.S. capacity.   Why It Matters David highlights how developers can prepare for interconnection competition, leverage new community solar programs, and navigate shifting tax credit rules. I share insights on the new safe harboring provisions and what they mean for financing and project timelines. Together, we paint a picture of a rapidly scaling clean energy sector where solar is poised to supply 50–60% of U.S. electricity within two decades.   Host Bio: David Magid David Magid is a seasoned renewable energy executive with deep expertise in solar development, financing, and operations. He has worked across the clean energy value chain, leading teams that deliver distributed generation and community solar projects.

This week's episode marks the second edition  of "The Analysts" once again bringing together the sharpest minds in global retail. This time we welcome Sucharita Kodali, Vice President & Principal Analyst at Forrester Research, and Neil Saunders, Managing Director at GlobalData Retail for a lively, insight rich discussion about the future of retail.The episode kicks off with U.S. retail sales results from the NRF/CNBC Retail Monitor and the US Census Bureau, which showed surprisingly strong growth despite inflation, tariffs, and shaky consumer sentiment. Neil and Sucharita explain why inflation-adjusted numbers tell a more modest story, while digging into the growing disconnect between historically low consumer confidence and healthy sales. They highlight how wealth concentration and media filter bubbles distort the economic picture, making retail performance appear stronger or weaker depending on perspective."The Analysts" then turn to the state of mega-brand retail turnarounds. Neil delivers a tough assessment of Kohl's—calling it the “turnaround that never happened”—while offering cautious optimism on Macy's and Gap, which are showing small but real signs of progress. Sucharita points to structural weaknesses in department stores but also notes resilience in Walmart, Costco, and dollar stores. Together, they weigh how tariffs, operational missteps, and consumer shifts complicate recovery.Next up: AI in retail. Sucharita underscores that artificial intelligence isn't new—retailers have relied on it for years in pricing, supply chain, and labor planning. The novelty lies in generative AI and so-called “agentic AI,” which she characterizes as incremental rather than revolutionary thus far. The panel agrees that while these tools can deliver efficiency, they're unlikely to transform the top or bottom line soon—though Amazon's deep AI and automation investments continue to give it a strategic edge.Looking ahead, holiday forecasts are mixed. Deloitte predicts growth under 3.5%, while eMarketer forecasts just 1.2%. Neil and Sucharita expect more resilience driven by consumers' determination to celebrate. The panel also highlights Amazon's bold logistics move to fulfill orders for Walmart and Shein, underscoring its unmatched infrastructure advantage.The discussion closes with Steve, Michael, Neil and Sucharita each offering what's on their radar screen, including Saks Global's financial turbulence, macroeconomic signals like inflation and jobs data, and AI's potential labor impacts.  About UsSteve Dennis is a strategic advisor and keynote speaker focused on growth and innovation, who has also been named one of the world's top retail influencers.

Money is never just about money. It's identity, history, and how we see ourselves in the mirror. Today, we're joined by psychotherapist Holli Rubin, whose work sits at the intersection of mental health, body image, and financial wellbeing. She specializes in life transitions and women's mental health, and she's advised organizations from Deloitte to wealth management firms on the psychology of money and confidence. In our conversation, Holli unpacks why so many women carry shame and doubt around money, how early messages about worth, care work, and “who earns” shape our financial confidence and why self-worth gets tangled up with net worth. We also explore her nuanced link between body image and money: the ways appearance and status cues can mask (or magnify) our inner stories about value, security, and belonging. And crucially, she offers practical ways to move from awareness to action, especially in midlife when careers, relationships, and health are all in flux.  Hosted on Acast.

In this special MakingChips Machine Shop MBA episode, we sit down with Peter Doyle—CEO of Hirsch Precision—to unpack what it takes to grow and transform a machine shop with purpose. From his roots as an Air Force officer to leading a former Top Shops award winner, Peter has blended strategy, structure, and heart into a roadmap any shop leader can learn from. Peter shares why strategic vision is more than a slogan on a wall. He explains how his team at Hirsch Precision focuses on high-mix, low-volume work, invests heavily in sales and marketing, and positions themselves as partners to engineers—not just parts suppliers. This shift has generated a steady stream of new business opportunities while maintaining the discipline required for regulated industries like aerospace and medical. Throughout the conversation, Peter emphasizes the importance of deliberate decisions: building customer-centric processes, developing leaders, hiring wisely, and implementing technology and certifications that align with their mission to “improve quality of life through precision manufacturing solutions.” For machine shop owners, managers, and future leaders, this episode is a blueprint for balancing risk with reward—how to create a strategic growth vision, win the right customers, and build a resilient team ready for the next decade of manufacturing innovation.
