Then, Ailish and Jesse tee up the Yankees/Red Sox series before welcoming Super Bowl 50 Champion Ryan Harris to the show. They discuss if the Packers are the cream of the crop in the NFL, the Lions offence without Ben Johnson and if the team's window is closed, and J.J. McCarthy's insane bounce back in his NFL debut. Then, they discuss how Rodgers is enjoying like under Tomlin.

We take a deep look at ten commonly used ways to test or estimate FTP, and dissect how and why each method does (or is supposed to) work, how often we might expect accurate result and who it'd be accurate for, and the Empirical Cycling standards for test accuracy. We also dig into some data on ramp test accuracy and bias, plus how anaerobic capacity, RPE, and daily fluctuations in performance can play a role in test results. Plus time in zone, %FTP, normalized power, lactate tests, the "Kolie Moore" test, and your listener questions on DFA-alpha1, eFTP, and more.

We discuss Masyn Winn's upcoming offseason knee surgery, Willson Contreras' return, and Brendan Donovan's rehab assignment, along with notable roster moves including Garrett Hampson's DFA and Nick Raquet's remarkable journey back to the majors. On the field, Nathan Church has been the Cardinals' hottest player in September, while Jordan Walker continues to struggle through a difficult season. With 12 of the next 15 games against NL Central opponents, the upcoming stretch against the Brewers and Reds looms large for the Wild Card race (lol yeah right). Plus, we cover league news including injuries to Trea Turner and Alec Bohm, Anthony Rizzo's retirement, the NL Wild Card picture, and… “Home Run Karen.”Have a question or comment for the show?

In this episode of What's the Risk we're joined by the CEO of Dimensional Australia Bhanu Singh. This is our second episode with Bhanu as we learn more about the "the biggest fund manager you've never heard of".In this episode we take a look at the intricacies of the active vs passive debate, and find out Bhanu's definition of passive. Bhanu also explains how the flexibility of Dimensional's approach allows them to trust the market, but also not be tied to the rigidity of index tracking rules which can lead to higher trading costs, overweighting some stocks, or having a long delay before a stock is included in an index, potentially costing investors returns.Dimensional have a deep research pedigree. Their founders and board members were part of some of the biggest developments in modern finance. David Booth and Rex Sinquefield were part of various groups who developed the first index funds at Wells Fargo and American National Bank, before leaving to start DFA where they then started Dimensional to build the first microcap fund for institutions.Want to learn more about investing?

Today, I sit down with Joe Breeden, CEO and founder of Deep Future Analytics (DFA), for what is, in effect, a two-part conversation. First we do a deep dive into credit risk management and where it is falling short today and then we discuss AI monitoring and governance and how it is going to revolutionize software.The conversation covers why traditional machine learning models are missing critical components for accurate risk assessment and how adverse selection has dramatically impacted loan quality in recent vintages. Then Joe makes a bold prediction that software user interfaces are on the verge of a transformation that will render them unrecognizable from previous versions Curious? All is revealed in this fascinating conversation.In this podcast you will learn:How he got started with Deep Future AnalyticsThe state of credit risk management in banking today.What is missing, even with fintech lenders, who are using machine learning.What lenders get wrong when they focus on credit score.Why loans booked since 2022 are lower quality than even 2006-07.What kind of lift lenders or investors can see with DFA's models.What Joe sees in the pool of borrowers today.Why DFA moved into AI monitoring and governance.Who is using these new AI models they have developed.Why a “human in the loop” is not an effective monitoring method.What their new Strategic Recommendation Agent (SyRA) does.How they incorporate Large Language Models to ensure zero hallucinations.Why the future of software is dashboards on demand and analytics on demand.How Deep Future Analytics is different to others in the market.What it is going to take before software moves to a chat-based interface.Connect with Fintech One-on-One: Tweet me @PeterRenton Connect with me on LinkedIn Find previous Fintech One-on-One episodes

In this episode of What's the Risk we're joined by the CEO of Dimensional Australia Bhanu Singh. Bhanu will be our guest over the next few episodes as we find out a little bit more about "the biggest fund manager you've never heard of".Bhanu has an MBA in analytical finance from the University of Chicago, Booth School of Business. He was Head of Asia-Pacific Portfolio Management for Dimensional. Director of Dimensional Australia, as well as Senior Investment Director. With that in mind, he is probably the best person in Australia to talk to about systematic investing. In this episode we discuss Dimensional's history and in particular its ongoing commitment to implementing the best research when building and managing portfolios.Dimensional have a deep research pedigree. Their founders and board members were part of some of the biggest developments in modern finance. David Booth and Rex Sinquefield were part of various groups who developed the first index funds at Wells Fargo and American National Bank, before leaving to start DFA where they then started Dimensional to build the first microcap fund for institutions.Want to learn more about investing?

What if choosing your asset allocation was as personal as your life story—and as consequential as your retirement? In this episode, we are joined by PWL Capital's Louai Bibi and Ben Wilson for a deep dive into how advisors guide clients through the most important portfolio decision they'll ever make. Louai walks us through the research, psychology, and planning frameworks behind determining the right stock/bond mix, while Ben shares real-world insights from client cases where risk tolerance, pensions, and life events shifted the balance. We explore how Monte Carlo simulations stress-test financial plans, why spouses often disagree on risk, and how pensions act as “bond-like assets” in the bigger picture. Ben Wilson also takes us behind the scenes of PWL's post-OneDigital acquisition journey, revealing why advisors are drawn to join the firm, how succession planning shapes their choices, and why a unified evidence-based philosophy matters in Canada's wealth management landscape. The episode wraps with a fascinating look at surprising stock return outliers—like Build-A-Bear outperforming Nvidia—and what that teaches us about the futility of stock-picking versus the power of diversification. Key Points From This Episode:   (0:01:00) Introducing PWL's Louai Bibi and Ben Wilson—today's topics: asset allocation, advisor succession, and surprising stock return data. (0:03:35) Louai explains the asset allocation decision: balancing stocks vs. bonds and why it's the biggest choice investors make. (0:05:12) Why asset allocation matters: inflation erodes purchasing power, and stocks/bonds help investors keep up or outpace it. (0:06:50) Historical lessons: $1 invested since 1970—outcomes for bonds, balanced portfolios, and 100% equities. (0:08:35) The risks of downturns: 2008 as a case study in how stocks vs. bonds shape losses and recovery times. (0:11:39) Risk tolerance questionnaires: how PWL uses surveys to gauge willingness vs. capacity to take risk. (0:13:45) When spouses disagree on risk tolerance—balancing perspectives and sometimes splitting portfolios. (0:16:42) Risk capacity: pensions, insurance, income stability, and emergency funds all shape asset allocation. (0:20:08) Real client cases: retirees discovering they don't need as much stock exposure, or elderly clients increasing equity later in life. (0:22:47) How often do clients change asset allocations? Rarely—except for life events like retirement. (0:27:10) Why Monte Carlo simulations are essential for stress-testing financial plans beyond straight-line projections. (0:30:20) PWL's “asset allocation email”: summarizing risks, pensions, debt, emergency funds, and personalized tradeoffs. (0:34:02) Pensions as “bond-like assets”—how they increase ability but decrease need to take risk. (0:37:11) Closing thoughts from Louai: think in dollar terms, investing is a marathon, and build confidence gradually. (0:39:32) Education shifts clients' choices: some reduce risk after learning the realities of volatility, others increase equity exposure with context. (0:43:10) Advisor “fixed effects”: research shows the advisor's own perspective strongly shapes client allocations. (0:45:39) Transition to Ben Wilson: what motivates advisors to join PWL post-OneDigital acquisition. (0:47:52) Reputation and content: how Rational Reminder, YouTube, blogs, and Canadian Couch Potato attract advisors. (0:50:34) PWL's unified philosophy: evidence-based, passive investing with a planning-first approach. (0:56:30) Key motivators for advisors: reducing admin burdens, escaping “aggregator” models, and building integrated team structures. (1:00:15) Succession planning: why advisors seek peace of mind for their clients and teams by partnering with PWL. (1:03:04) Ben Felix on why these conversations are exciting and why advisors should reach out early. (1:04:54) After show: Nvidia's insane 70% annualized 5-year return—and why lesser-known names like Build-A-Bear, Celestica, and Dillard's did even better. (1:06:33) Celestica's role in DFA funds and how it helped them keep pace with Shopify-driven indexes. (1:09:25) Why broad diversification captures unexpected winners (Build-A-Bear included) without speculation. (1:10:45) Active advisors pitch “winner-picking”—but history shows how impossible that really is. (1:12:16) Reviews and wrap-up.

Pirates broadcaster Greg Brown joined the show. We reacted to the DFA of Andrew Heaney after he reached an incentive last night in a brutally bad stretch of pitching. Greg talked about winning in 2026 and why Heaney didn't fit into that equation. Where does Jack Suwinski fit into future plans? Greg doesn't dismiss Konnor Griffin starting 2026 with the big-league club, but noted that it is still unlikely. Chris pointed out the wild Pirates stat, that they are objectively great at home but horrible on the road. Greg still doesn't think the Pirates are really THAT far away from being a good team. 15 minutes after the hour and still no 53-man roster. What could be the cause of the hold-up? We spent a few minutes on Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift, who got engaged earlier today. Donny Football Debrief – The Browns have named Dillon Gabriel the backup to Joe Flacco – not Shedeur Sanders. And we finally got the Steelers 53-man roster. None of their 2025 picks were cut.

Headlines and our record-setting catcher's, record-setting weekend. Turns out that we were onto something when we talked to Cal about hitting 50 home runs this year at Spring training. :30- ABCs of the Mariners - F is for farewell- Dylan Moore was DFA'd over the weekend as Victor Robles returned from injury and we are sad to see him go, but it was time. - G is for Gilbert- Logan went from infinitely hittable in Philly to lights out yesterday. That's how you bounce back. - H is for Hancock- Emerson is headed to the bullpen :45- The 2nd half of the Vedder Cup gets underway tonight when the Padres come to town and there's never been more talent vying for this unimportant cup than there is right now! Usually the Mariners approach is to rattle the starter to get to the bullpen and that's not gonna work against this Padres team, they are stacked.

Jordan and Jason recap a disappointing series with the Houston Astros that saw the Red Sox drop a Crochet game and a Buehler game. However, Dustin May was brilliant in his second start for Boston.Later, the two discuss the recently DFA'd first baseman Nathaniel Lowe as a potential option for the Sox down the stretch if they truly don't want to throw Kristian Campbell back to the fire in 2025.

He unpacks how early 2024's spike in delinquencies has given way to broad improvement, why certain regions like Utah, DC, and Texas are worth watching, and what's really behind shifts in credit card balances and limits. Vadim also examines the Fed's puzzling real estate valuations, the migration from bank deposits to higher-yield assets, and the stark gap between consumer sentiment and near-record highs in net worth and income.Subscribe to our free research to stay up-to-date on the latest trends.

In this episode, Don and Tom tackle investor emotion during market highs and use a Schwab-inspired scenario to show how discipline beats market timing—every time. They walk through four fictional investors (lucky, disciplined, unlucky, and fearful) to reveal the long-term value of staying invested. The hosts also answer a listener's question about breaking into the fiduciary advice world and finish with a blistering takedown of FIBA, a so-called fiduciary group pushing high-commission annuities to federal workers. This one's part reality check, part rally cry. 0:04 Emotional investing and the danger of reacting to market highs 1:13 Why timing the market is so tempting—and so wrong 2:35 Four investor scenarios: lucky, disciplined, unlucky, and the guy who sat it out 5:03 20-year returns: how even the worst timing beat sitting in T-bills 6:25 Discipline as a risk-reduction strategy and emotional filter 8:16 Worst-case fear vs real-world data: even the unlucky come out ahead 9:21 Market rebounds: faster than most think, from 2008 to 2025 10:28 The fourth golden rule: Discipline beats market noise 13:03 Listener Zach thanks Tom—phone call advice pays off 13:34 Listener “Long” asks how to become a fiduciary advisor 14:55 Why financial skills alone don't make great advisors 16:38 Should you start at a sales-driven firm?

In Episode 106 of Chase for 28, Chris and the Podcast Padre recap one of the busiest weeks of the Yankees' 2025 season. The team is in the midst of an uncertain stretch without Aaron Judge, now beginning to surge with renewed life—and an infusion of fresh talent—at the trade deadline. From bullpen reinforcements to defensive upgrades and spark plug additions, this episode breaks down every major move the front office made (and didn't make).The duo also discusses the missed opportunity to call up Spencer Jones, the curious case of Anthony Volpe's fielding struggles, and what Judge's return as a DH-only player means for the lineup. It's a deep dive into roster construction, playoff potential, and the difference between panic and perspective in Yankees fandom.Key Topics Discussed:

Don and Tom take a reality sledgehammer to investors' wildly inflated expectations for stock market returns. A new survey shows average Americans expect 12.6% after inflation, even as historical real returns rarely crack 9%. They explore how this overconfidence—fueled by recency bias and company loyalty—leads to dangerous behavior like under-saving, over-spending, and poorly diversified portfolios. With real-world client stories, historical decade-by-decade returns, and a deep dive into how long it takes portfolios to recover after major drops, they reinforce the need for long-term discipline and diversified planning. The episode wraps with audience questions on umbrella policies, retirement bond ladders, and smart ETF tax-loss harvesting strategies. 0:04 Don delays the podcast waiting for Tom's arrival (with British accent) 1:30 Survey shock: Investors expect 12.6% real annual returns 2:28 Reality check: Actual global stock returns are closer to 9% 3:45 Dangerous real-world portfolios: 100% S&P 500 near retirement 5:30 One-stock portfolios tied to employers—what could go wrong? 6:50 Under-saving due to false optimism about future returns 7:14 Decade-by-decade historical real returns from 1930–2020s 10:13 The Dave Ramsey fantasy: 8% withdrawals on 12% returns 10:40 Recency bias: Why we forget recent downturns so fast 11:05 50% of years see 10% drops; 1 in 3 see 20% drops 12:47 Emotional investing vs. disciplined long-term planning 13:39 Listener Q: How long to recover from a major market drop? 14:22 Diversification shortens recovery time historically 15:36 Build for the worst case: 50% stock market drop 16:32 Listener Q: Does Ivan need an umbrella policy with $350K net worth? 17:57 Umbrellas are rarely needed—but the industry sure sells them 18:54 Listener Q: Is LifeX 10-year bond ladder a good retirement tool? 20:20 It's mostly return of principal—DIY Treasury ladders are cheaper 22:40 Don't be fooled by nice websites and big yield promises 23:24 Listener Q: Can AVGE replace four-fund ETF portfolio for tax loss harvesting? 24:32 Swap Avantis for DFA funds—nearly identical, wash-sale safe 25:56 Parting shots: Buy a decent mic, don't let emotion control your portfolio Learn more about your ad choices.

Table B4, Table B3a and Table B3bSmall‑Cap Value vs. S&P 500 performance: 1975‑1999's 5 % premium, 2000‑2025's 2.6 % edge, and what it means going forward.Avantis + DFA split for deeper diversification (cost, holdings, tracking error).Risks of an all‑Small‑Cap‑Value portfolio and when a worldwide all‑value approach makes more sense.Using DFA International Small‑Cap Value (DFISX) inside a 403(b) for a Two‑Fund strategy.Vanguard STAR vs. Vanguard Wellington: balanced‑fund showdown and why Wellington's 60/40 mix wins in the long run.Rebalancing at age 62: tax‑smart moves, asset‑location tactics, and simplifying with target‑date or balanced funds.Anatomy of the Ultimate Buy‑and‑Hold strategy: 10 equity asset classes, why it started in 1994‑95, and how four‑ and two‑fund variations stack up.

You'll hear why trend‑following protected clients in 1987, how dividends rescued returns in the 1966–1981 “go‑nowhere” market, and why low‑cost indexing plus global value exposure remain his bedrock recommendations.Got a question for Paul's hourly‑advisor panel?

Dylan Cease with another awful outing. Mike Shildt with a cry for help with this roster…Maldonado needs to be DFA'd today

Today's word of the day is ‘abhorrent' as in the NFL as in the NFLPA as in collusion as in appeal as in firings. This is how this ends. Pablo Torre had broken this story wide open two weeks ago, and now the NFLPA is not happy. The players union will try and appeal this decision now. How does it end? (17:50) The Yankees have DFA'd DJ LeMahieu and owe him $22 million. Brian Cashman then met the media to explain the decision, talk about the trade deadline, and defend Anthony Volpe.

The Yankees finally moved Jazz Chisholm to second and DFA'd DJ LeMahieu. C-Mac said it feels like a cleansing period after 3 weeks of a disaster.

C-Lo returned for his final update of the day and started with the Yankees win over the Mariners as Jazz hit two homers. Brian Cashman said he's not counting Anthony Volpe out and still expects big things from him this season. Cashman also talked about the need for relievers and a third baseman.

On this week's podcast, we dive into my fascinating six-month journey with AI, exploring how tools like ChatGPT are revolutionizing access to information and informed guidance. Drawing inspiration from Seth Godin's insightful piece, "Education is Free, Learning is Expensive," we'll discuss why true learning demands commitment and effort, especially in today's information-rich world.I've discovered AI's power extends far beyond simple fact-checking. It's a game-changer for understanding diverse perspectives, even helping me tailor advice to different generations. My goal is to help you leverage this incredible tool to build a better financial future.We'll also gain some valuable perspective on investment returns, especially after the unique first half of the year. While six months isn't a long-term indicator, it's certainly given us plenty to discuss! Many are wondering if now's the time to jump into international equities, especially as they've shown unexpected strength.Understanding Diversification and Long-Term InvestingI'll share my philosophy on successful long-term investing as a buy-and-holder: identifying equity asset classes that offer a premium for risk and grow faster than inflation. We'll examine the "ultimate buy and hold portfolio," which strategically blends U.S. and international equities, and analyze its performance over the past six months, comparing it to other popular strategies from Vanguard and DFA.You'll be surprised to see how closely Avantis and DFA ETFs performed, despite some significant individual fund differences. We'll also delve into the fascinating relationship between the U.S. dollar's value and international equity performance. For a deeper dive, I highly recommend checking out this illuminating table from Brandes Investment Partners: https://www.brandes.com/insights/chart-of-the-week/us-dollar-and-international-equities-03312023. It clearly illustrates how the dollar's strength and weakness correlate with international returns, offering historical examples of how these trends ebb and flow. Chasing returns isn't the answer, but a diversified, buy-and-hold approach can significantly reduce volatility and smooth out your equity returns—a major advantage, especially for retirees.The Allure and Nuance of Long-Term ReturnsWe'll then shift our focus to long-term performance data, specifically looking at the last 15 years through June 2025. You might be surprised to learn how the S&P 500, growth stocks, and even Berkshire Hathaway have compounded over this period, and how these returns compare to historical averages and expectations. While U.S. growth has been a clear winner recently, we'll discuss why historical norms suggest a different long-term outcome for value and small-cap stocks.I'll also address the popular Total Market Index and offer a candid take on whether it truly outperforms the S&P 500 for those not seeking broader diversification. We'll explore why, in some cases, a simpler approach might be just as effective, or even more so.The Power of Information and Future ToolsFinally, I'll emphasize how today's access to free information from sources like Morningstar empowers you to conduct research that was unimaginable just decades ago. Plus, I'll give you a sneak peek at a new, exciting, and largely free tool coming soon from AtlasETF.com, which will allow you to easily test different portfolio strategies.Join me as we explore these crucial topics and continue to empower you on your journey to becoming a more successful long-term investor.What are your thoughts on using AI for financial planning? We'd love to hear from you!
