We recorded this episode live at the TLTF Summit and the energy in the room made it feel like the perfect place for a conversation about growth, training, and the rapid climb of legal tech. We grabbed our gear, claimed a corner in the podcast room, and pulled in two guests with front row seats to the changes hitting the industry. Joining us were Kyle Poe from Legora and our friend and guest host, Zena Applebaum of Harbor. The Summit attracts a focused group of founders, investors, and leaders, and the four of us jumped straight into what this event represents and what attendees hope to get from it.Kyle had been on the job for only two months, but Legora moves at a pace that feels closer to dog years. In that short time the team doubled, a new round of funding closed, and the company introduced a major product release. Kyle walked us through Legora's new Portal experience, which brings clients inside the legal workflow in a controlled, collaborative environment. Instead of long email chains and static work product, the Portal supports shared editing, direct review of diligence work, and a more responsive model for client engagement. In an era when clients expect quick turnarounds, this shift sets up a new dynamic for firms.Zena added helpful perspective from her prior trips to TLTF. She described the Summit as a place that rewards conversation, curiosity, and hallway exchanges. It is also a place to study the different stages of the legal tech journey, from early ideas on the startup stage to the seasoned players on the scale stage. She also brought timely news of Harbor's acquisition of Encore Technologies, a move that strengthens Harbor's ability to support training and adoption workflows across firms and corporate legal teams. Her focus on education paired well with Kyle's insights on how Legora approaches enablement through its team of legal engineers.Training became the heart of the conversation. We compared old habits with the expectations of a generation of associates who have been taught to avoid AI until they enter a firm. Kyle stressed the need to anchor attorney training in real use cases and to give them early wins so they build trust in the tools. He described the shift from task-based training to workflow-based thinking. We also talked about how AI is influencing both the pace and structure of client service. Kyle shared examples of how Legora uses prior work product to build integrated workflows, such as interrogatory response generators that pull from a full library of past responses. This not only speeds up production but also increases consistency and helps attorneys understand the reasoning behind revisions. Zena pushed the idea even further, noting that these systems give associates a chance to study the rationale behind changes in a way that human reviewers rarely have time to provide. This leads to better training and stronger validation of the final work product.We closed with our crystal ball question. Kyle sees more adoption on the horizon but also anticipates uneven impacts across different practices as firms figure out how to adjust their business models. Zena pointed to the operational challenges ahead, especially the pressure to invest in data management and cloud infrastructure that supports true AI enablement. Her message was clear. If firms want the benefits later, they need to start organizing the foundations now. This episode blends optimism with realism, and it highlights the practical work ahead for firms, vendors, and everyone in between. Tune in for the full conversation and get ready for a lively discussion recorded right in the middle of the Summit buzz.Listen on mobile platforms: Apple Podcasts | Spotify | YouTube[Special Thanks to Legal Technology Hub for their sponsoring this episode.] Email: geekinreviewpodcast@gmail.comMusic: Jerry David DeCicca
Collect unlimited free verifiable CPD for UK Dentists here >>> ———————————————————————The rules are changing for self‑employed dentists. From April 2026, Making Tax Digital extends beyond VAT into Income Tax Self Assessment, pulling most associates and many sole‑trader practice owners into quarterly digital reporting. We brought specialist dental accountant David Hossein to cut through the noise: who is affected, what to file, the exact first deadlines, and how to set up the right software without creating a new full‑time job for yourself.We start with the basics that trip people up. The threshold is based on income, not profit, and rental income in your own name can push you over the line. Dividends do not count. You will submit digital updates every quarter using MTD‑compatible software, then a final statement to tie everything together. Payments of tax do not change at first, but planning for eventual quarterly payments is wise. David lays out the first reporting period (6 April to 5 July 2026) and the submission date (7 August 2026) so you can work backwards and avoid penalties.Then we get practical. We compare FreeAgent, Xero, and QuickBooks, and explain why many dentists will be fine on FreeAgent, especially when it is free via certain bank accounts. Clean bank feeds, correct import dates, and reconciling to statements are non‑negotiable. We show how to use built‑in tax forecasting to ring‑fence cash, reduce January shocks, and time pensions or equipment purchases with confidence. We also explore the structural choices: companies and partnerships sit outside this phase of MTD for now, but incorporation only makes sense when it aligns with tax, pension, and cashflow goals. For some on the cusp, MTD may be the nudge to reassess.———————————————————————Disclaimer: All content on this channel is for education purposes only and does not constitute an investment recommendation or individual financial advice.

Let's talk about Trump promising $2000 in tariff dividends....
CNBC contributor and portfolio manager Jenny Harrington shares how she risked nearly everything by draining her IRA to build her investment firm, had a baby the day the market hit its lowest in 2009, and convinced her husband to join her with zero safety net–all during the worst financial crisis in recent history. Jenny reveals why the “boring” dividend strategy everyone overlooks kept her clients calm when the market crashed, and shares the hard-won wisdom that changed her approach to investing: it doesn't matter which strategy you choose, it matters that you can stay in it.

Donald Trump is taking on "affordability" in the wake of Democratic wins last week in New Jersey and Virginia. The president is proposing $2,000 payments from tariff revenues and a new 50-year mortgage for homebuyers, while his Department of Justice opens an investigation into meatpacking companies in light of high beef prices. But are any of these proposals good for the economy? And will any calm voters' anxieties over the high cost of living? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
President Trump doubled down on an idea to send $2,000 checks to millions of Americans. He has offered no specifics, but Trump suggested the government could send that money to low and middle-income Americans and still have enough tariff revenue left to make a dent in the national debt. Most experts say that math doesn’t add up. Amna Nawaz discussed more with Erica York of the Tax Foundation. PBS News is supported by - https://www.pbs.org/newshour/about/funders. Hosted on Acast.

My guest this week is James Gruber, editor of Firstlinks and a veteran of Asian markets with a background in journalism and funds management. We dive into his contrarian views on dividend stocks and gold's role in portfolios. Our discussion stems from James's article "Why I Dislike Dividend Stocks." He drew from David Gardner of Motley Fool, who achieved seven 100-baggers—stocks returning 100 times or more. Gardner held Amazon from 1997 and Nvidia from 2005, both up over 1,000 times.

SRI360 | Socially Responsible Investing, ESG, Impact Investing, Sustainable Investing
My guest today is Laura Segafredo – Chief Growth Officer at NatureAlpha, and a systems thinker who's spent the last twenty years connecting science, policy, and capital to build tools that help finance face the realities of the climate crisis.Laura began her career as an energy economist in Europe and California, contributing to major climate policy efforts like the Paris Agreement.She then spent nearly a decade at BlackRock, where she helped transform ESG from a niche concern into a $500 billion force across fixed income and index investing. She led the creation of green bond tools, sustainability frameworks, and data standards that shaped the firm's global strategy.But as ESG became increasingly politicized, innovation stalled, and Laura decided it was time to chart a new path. She took a leap – from the world's largest asset manager to NatureAlpha, a small startup using geospatial data to bring nature into investing.There, she's helping investors understand how companies depend on and impact natural systems – like water, soil, and biodiversity – and what happens when those systems start to break down. Most portfolios have never seen this data. Now they can.NatureAlpha's core product is Geoverse 2.0 – a geospatial AI tool that analyzes 8.5 million asset locations worldwide, tagging each with indicators of ecosystem health and how much a company depends on nature. It uses a quadrant model to flag the danger zone: places where companies are highly dependent on ecosystems – like rivers, forests, or soil – that are already deteriorating. That's where risk concentrates – high dependency, low resilience.The idea is to turn that risk into insight. Geoverse doesn't just map individual assets – it scans entire portfolios, helping investors see exposures they've never seen before.Through partnerships with data providers and platforms like ICE – and collaborations across the wider investment ecosystem – NatureAlpha is working to make its nature-related insights more accessible to investors within the tools they already use.That unlocks what Laura calls the “double dividend”: portfolios that reduce nature-related risk and keep pace with market returns.Still, Laura doesn't overpromise. If there's one lesson she's carried from the ESG battles, it's this: be transparent about what you know, and even more about what you don't. Today, she's studying eco-theology, writing essays, and speaking to philosophers, post-growth economists, and faith leaders. My conversation with Laura goes way beyond ESG.It's about what shifts when you zoom out from carbon and start seeing nature not as scenery, but as infrastructure. When rivers, forests, and soil stop being externalities and start showing up on the balance sheet.If you tune in, you'll also hear what made her lose faith in market-based climate solutions, what the biggest lie the industry tells itself, and why the next big revolution in investing may be a moral one.Because in the end, Laura's not trying to build better ratings or cleaner tickers. She's trying to build a better world – one that we might actually want to invest in.—Connect with SRI360°:Sign up for the free weekly email updateVisit the SRI360° PODCASTVisit the SRI360° WEBSITEFollow SRI360° on XFollow SRI360° on FACEBOOK—Additional Resources:- Laura Segafredo LinkedIn- NatureAlpha website- Moral Revolution Podcast

Dr Boyce explains why companies pay dividends
Bruce talks with retired Globe and Mail personal-finance columnist Rob Carrick about 30 years of investor wisdom. Rob explains why low-cost ETFs win for most Canadians, the hidden risks of high-yield dividend stocks, and why bonds are helpful, but not perfect, shock absorbers. He also breaks down how to think about market crashes (buying when it feels worst), the danger of chasing trends like private credit/equity for retail investors, and why money you'll need within five years doesn't belong in stocks. Practical, time-tested guidance for building a calmer, smarter portfolio.

What if someone told you that making $100,000 per year from dividends requires way more money than you think? That's exactly what happened when we sat down to break down the real numbers behind dividend investing in Jamaica.Most people dream about getting those sweet dividend payments rolling into their bank accounts every quarter. But here's the wake up call: with a 5% dividend yield, you need roughly $2 million Jamaican dollars just to see $100,000 per year. And that's before the government takes their 15% cut.In this episode, Dr. Matthew Preston and Dr. Thaon Simms pull back the curtain on dividend investing. We walk through actual calculations, reveal which JSE stocks pay the highest yields (spoiler: it's not always the ones you expect), and share personal stories about what we actually did with our first dividend checks. From buying computer parts to paying speeding tickets, these small payments taught us bigger lessons about money and investing.We explore companies like Trans Jamaica Highway, Carreras, and Wigton Energy, breaking down their yields and what kind of capital you'd really need to make dividends work for you. Plus, Preston shares a powerful lesson about trusting your own investment thesis, even when everyone around you thinks you're being delusional.Whether you're sitting on $50,000 or $5 million, this episode will change how you think about passive income and dividend investing.

Don swats a studio bug, then swats down the idea of dividend-driven retirement portfolios. Drawing on Jason Zweig's interview with Richard Thaler, they explain why retirees should focus on total return—spending from a diversified portfolio rather than chasing yield. They hit Robinhood's profit model, bid-ask spreads, and the need for automatic-enrollment retirement plans. A listener call leads to a discussion of Social Security timing, debt-free retirement, and (yes) hodgepodge-itis—Don's term for chaotic portfolios. Things wrap with a jailed investor's question, some gallows humor, and the usual banter about holidays and compliance. 0:04 Bug chaos and phone-line reminder 1:41 Why dividend-income portfolios are a trap 2:50 Jason Zweig & Richard Thaler on total-return spending 4:18 Total return beats “high-dividend” illusions 5:39 Robinhood's option-spread profits and the myth of “free” trading 6:15 Schwab vs. Robinhood: relative honesty in bid-ask spreads 7:43 Thaler's take on missing retirement plans and automatic savings 9:05 Anniversary talk and the failed “Debbie Show” experiment 10:15 Back to Thaler—why most workers still lack plans 11:39 Tesla options example showing 7 percent spread 12:05 Case for national retirement depository & hybrid Social Security 13:33 Hodgepodge-itis defined (and owned by Don) 14:51 Low call volume and the Mariners' hangover 15:52 Listener Kevin asks about dividends vs. selling stock 16:53 Reinvesting dividends vs. total-return withdrawals 18:17 Dividends reduce company growth potential 19:45 Why high-yield chasing kills diversification 20:07 Caller David, age 67, plans retirement & asks how to prep 21:55 Social Security timing advice—benefits rise monthly 22:50 David's details: city pension, deferred comp, house, no debt 24:07 Getting professional fiduciary advice before retiring 25:23 David's crypto confession and $3K Ripple gamble 27:27 Jail-bound investor asks where to park money 30:18 Don & Tom debate investing from behind bars (humor intact) 33:19 Columbus Day scheduling confusion & closing banter Learn more about your ad choices.

Ever see a company announce a massive, one-time cash payout and wonder what's really going on? These "special dividends" are more than just financial fireworks; they're a critical signal from management about a company's health, discipline, and future growth prospects.In this episode of Corporate Finance Explained on FinPod, we cut through the noise to explain what these bombshell payments really mean for investors. Using real-world examples from Microsoft, Costco, and more, we unpack the reasons behind a special dividend and teach you how to analyze whether it's a sign of undeniable strength or a potential red flag.In this video, you will learn: The crucial difference between a regular dividend and a special dividend. The 4 main reasons a company issues a special dividend are to distribute excess cash and to take advantage of tax benefits. How to determine if a payout signals financial discipline or a lack of growth opportunities. Real-world case studies: Microsoft's demonstration of strength, Costco's relentless discipline, and ViacomCBS's debt-funded warning signs.

In this episode of The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex, we uncover one of the least talked about success traits—patience—and why it's the true multiplier of results. Paul shares a real story from his entrepreneurial journey when a city permit delay tested his limits. Instead of panicking, he stayed steady, honored his word, and when the deal finally went through, the payoff was bigger than expected. The lesson? Patience isn't passive—it's powerful.

Find me on Substack: https://bogumilbaranowski.substack.com/Daniel Peris is a historian-turned-portfolio manager at Federated who uniquely combines PhD-level expertise in Russian history with two decades of investment experience to challenge modern finance's dismissal of dividend investing through rigorous historical analysis.3:00 - Peris shares his unconventional path from Cold War studies and Russian history PhD to Wall Street, explaining how his historical training shapes his contrarian approach to investment challenges by questioning where current financial rules originated and whether they remain fit for purpose.8:00 - Historical perspective on financial innovation: Peris argues most "new" financial mechanisms have ancient antecedents.10:00 - The humility principle: Peris critiques University of Chicago's equilibrium economics and rational actor theory for not comporting with actual human behavior, advocating learning from 5,000 years of financial mistakes rather than assuming modern superiority.14:00 - The great dividend disappearance: Four key reasons dividends vanished - 40 years of declining interest rates, NASDAQ's productivity boom, the rise of buybacks incentivizing Wall Street, and global neoliberalism's focus on financial over cash returns.18:00 - The turning point thesis: All conditions enabling the "unnatural state" of dividend-free investing have stopped, reversed, or matured, setting stage for return of the cash nexus.23:00 - Business outcomes vs market outcomes: Peris distinguishes tangible dividend payments (business outcomes you control) from speculative capital gains (market outcomes dependent on share price volatility).30:00 - The tax avoidance extreme: Peris critiques products designed to avoid taxes on S&P 500's meager 1.2% yield, calling it philosophical gymnastics to dodge taxes on essentially no income.38:00 - Risk redefined: Permanent loss of capital constitutes real risk, not price volatility, challenging academic definitions that dominate MBA curricula.42:00 - The buyback controversy: A trillion dollars in free cash flow goes to buybacks benefiting Wall Street and executives rather than shareholders, with Peris emphasizing buybacks provide liquidity to share sellers, not cash to shareholders.52:00 - PE expansion and gravity: While acknowledging modern infrastructure justifies higher valuations than historical 10x earnings, Peris questions whether 25x multiples make sense, especially in inflationary environments.57:00 - Global perspective: Anti-dividend phenomenon is distinctly American.1:04:00 - Success philosophy: Peris defines success as "knowing when you have enough" (citing Joseph Heller), sleeping well at night, and making 50.05% of decisions correctly under uncertainty.Podcast Program – Disclosure StatementBlue Infinitas Capital, LLC is a registered investment adviser and the opinions expressed by the Firm's employees and podcast guests on this show are their own and do not reflect the opinions of Blue Infinitas Capital, LLC.
