Tully, Kurt, Thrash, Kaylo and Neil talk about everything from health scares and terrible sleep to the emotional toll of chasing hits in a “failure business” and wondering if this podcast is actually any good.They celebrate Jason Aldean's multi‑week No. 1 with “Try That In A Small Town,” shout out Morgan Wallen and Luke Combs, and then pull back the curtain on how little songwriters and session players really make in the streaming era. They debate AI‑written songs, the madness of modern politics, bathroom etiquette, and why a fast‑food combo in a tiny Tennessee town now costs 14 dollars.If you've ever chased a creative dream, wondered why some shows blow up and others stall in “podcast purgatory,” or just love small‑town stories with a heavy dose of honesty and sarcasm, this one's for you.

Verrassend is het niet, opvallend is het wel: weer wordt Shell een stukje minder groen. Het bedrijf neemt afscheid van alle Europese wind- en zonneparken op het vaste land. Ze verkopen de hele tak aan concurrent Total Energies. Wat dat betekent voor de Europese toekomst van Shell, bespreken we deze aflevering. Net als in hoeverre deze activiteiten bij Total Energies beter af zijn. Hebben we het ook over de Japanse yen. Na een dramatisch jaar won die munt vrijdag opeens aan waarde. Vandaag gaven de Amerikaanse en Japanse overheid het toe: de VS heeft een handje geholpen. Waarom het zover moest komen en wat dat jou als belegger uit moet maken, zoeken we ook voor je uit.

Mark Thornton opens this triple-header episode with a live Radio Rothbard appearance from Mises University, joining Ryan McMaken to discuss inflation, the K-shaped economy, asset prices, debt, the dollar, and why Austrian theory explains what mainstream accounts leave out. Thornton argues that monetary inflation benefits asset owners and government-connected interests first, while working households face higher prices long before wages catch up.On Side B, Mark joins Freedom Works interview on democratic socialism, where he explains why young Americans are drawn to socialism, how government intervention created many of their grievances, and why free markets remain the real path forward. The episode closes with Wall Street Bullion to discuss gold, silver, energy, debt service, the weakening dollar, BRICS, the petrodollar, and the economic fallout from war in the Persian Gulf.2026 is the Year of Rothbard—Murray's 100th birthday—and we're celebrating by giving away free copies of The Case for a 100 Percent Gold Dollar through August 31.

The dollar plunged below 157.50 yen for the first time in about two and a half months in New York trading on Friday as the Japanese and U.S. authorities reportedly intervened in the foreign exchange market in coordination to stem the yen's depreciation.

Pokémon, One Piece, Sammelboxen: ein Milliardenmarkt, der bis heute über eBay, Postpakete und Rating-Dienstleister läuft. Collector Crypt zieht genau diesen Markt auf die Blockchain und kommt damit in diesem Jahr auf 70 bis 80 Millionen Dollar Umsatz, bei rund 60 Millionen Dollar Marktkapitalisierung. Julius hat mit dem Team gesprochen, das auf Sammlermessen bewusst kein Wort über Krypto verliert, und kennt trotzdem die drei Gegenargumente, die auf X immer wieder auftauchen. Warum die ersten Nachahmer jetzt Hot Wheels tokenisieren und wie man sich so eine Nische als Investor überhaupt durchrechnet, darüber sprechen Julius Nagel und Florian Adomeit in dieser Folge von Alles Coin, Nichts Muss. Danach wird gerechnet: Hyperliquids Umsätze sind seit dem Peak im letzten Sommer rückläufig, der Token steht trotzdem deutlich über dem Jahresstart. Überbewertet? Julius geht die frischen Zahlen durch, das Gewinnmultiple, die Zinsen aus den USDC-Einlagen, die ab August ins Protokoll fließen, und den Vergleich mit Coinbase, Robinhood und der Nasdaq. Bleibt die Frage, welchen Abschlag ein Protokoll verdient, das regulatorisch weiter in der Grauzone sitzt. Im Markt hängt Bitcoin unter 65.000 Dollar fest, in Washington läuft die Uhr für den Clarity Act, und Worldcoin eröffnet ausgerechnet am Münchner Marienplatz einen Flagship-Store. Bei Uniswap nimmt Julius die V4 Hooks auseinander, die aus Liquidity Pools programmierbare Bausteine machen, auf X rufen manche schon den V4 Summer aus. Dazu die Discord-Frage der Woche zu USDC-Zinsen aus Deutschland heraus, und zum Schluss tokenisierte Dino-Skelette, bei denen Julius wissen will, ob Flo da mitzockt.

He is the author of Between Fixed and Fickle: Why Our Moral Views Keep Changing. In this episode, we focus on Between Fixed and Fickle. We talk about morality from a psychological perspective, common views people have about morality, and how we acquire our moral values. We discuss how moral change occurs, the role played by reasoning, and post-hoc rationalization and moral dumbfounding. We also discuss why people from different time periods have different moral values, and why people participate in atrocities. Finally, we talk about whether moral psychology has anything to contribute to the debate as to whether there are objective moral truths, and whether moral philosophy is nothing more than post-hoc rationalization.--A HUGE THANK YOU TO MY PATRONS/SUPPORTERS: PER HELGE LARSEN, BERNARDO SEIXAS, ADAM KESSEL, MATTHEW WHITINGBIRD, ARNAUD WOLFF, TIM HOLLOSY, HENRIK AHLENIUS, ROBERT WINDHAGER, RUI INACIO, ZOOP, MARCO NEVES, COLIN HOLBROOK, PHIL KAVANAGH, SAMUEL ANDREEFF, FRANCIS FORDE, TIAGO NUNES, FERGAL CUSSEN, HAL HERZOG, NUNO MACHADO, JONATHAN LEIBRANT, JOÃO LINHARES, STANTON T, SAMUEL CORREA, ERIK HAINES, MARK SMITH, JOÃO EIRA, TOM HUMMEL, SARDUS FRANCE, DAVID SLOAN WILSON, YACILA DEZA-ARAUJO, ROMAIN ROCH, YANICK PUNTER, CHARLOTTE BLEASE, NICOLE BARBARO, PAWEL OSTASZEWSKI, NELLEKE BAK, GUY MADISON, GARY G HELLMANN, SAIMA AFZAL, ADRIAN JAEGGI, JOÃO BARBOSA, JULIAN PRICE, HEDIN BRØNNER, FRANCA BORTOLOTTI, GABRIEL PONS CORTÈS, URSULA LITZCKE, SCOTT, ZACHARY FISH, TIM DUFFY, SUNNY SMITH, JON WISMAN, WILLIAM BUCKNER, LUKE GLOWACKI, GEORGIOS THEOPHANOUS, CHRIS WILLIAMSON, PETER WOLOSZYN, DAVID WILLIAMS, DIOGO COSTA, ALEX CHAU, CORALIE CHEVALLIER, BANGALORE ATHEISTS, LARRY D.

Die neuen australischen Visagebühren sind in Kraft – und viele Antragsteller müssen seit dem 1. Juli deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen. Ein Partnervisum kostet fast 2.500 Dollar mehr, auch andere Visa-Kategorien wurden verteuert. Migrationsexperte Johannes Kunz ordnet die Änderungen ein und erklärt, was sie für Migrantinnen und Migranten bedeuten.

Today, we're joined by Qasar Younis, co-founder and CEO of Applied Intuition, a physical AI company valued at $15 billion that builds the models and simulation tools behind autonomous vehicles, defence systems, and industrial machines (before this, he was COO of Y Combinator).Tommy Stadlen talks to Qasar about why he thinks physical AI will define the next 25 years, and why Applied's ability to run the same models across cars, drones, and construction equipment is its biggest edge. They also get into how he thinks about fundraising and cap tables, and why he says not all money is equally useful.He speaks about:Why Applied Intuition has never spent a dollar of the ~$1 billion raisedCorporate VCs, multi-stage funds, and why the partner matters more than the firm nameWhy 85% of the global economy is physical (and why that's the real AI opportunity)Neural simulation, and how Applied trains one model to work in a car, a drone, and a tankWhy timing is the hardest thing for founders to get rightWhy he's not worried about self-driving safetyThe billion-machine vision (and why he still drives a 1987 manual Land Cruiser)Enjoy!Building a purpose driven company?

And we've got an expert here to talk about that. I'm excited to introduce you to Afolabi Oyerokun. This is him coming back for a part two series because his first interview went so well. But he is the co-founder of Honu Worldwide in Innovative Product development, sourcing and three PL company based in Pennsylvania, USA. Afolabi has always been passionate about finding things, haggling and negotiating prices. His obsession with finding good quality products at bargain prices led him to help several seven and eight figure brands increase their profits and scale rapidly by buying smart from Asia and the US. He is behind the successful launches of several multimillion dollar products on Amazon and other retail channels.

He loves helping people design, develop and manufacture innovative products.Josh 00:01:15  He is also the creator of the Sourcing Mastery course, which teaches people the best practices for product development, sourcing and supply chain management. So with that introduction, welcome back to the podcast.Afolabi 00:01:30  Thanks, Josh.Afolabi 00:01:31  I'm happy to be back. I really enjoyed our past episode and I'm really excited and pumped up, you know, to continue on this point.Josh 00:01:40  Are there any sneak peeks that you could give us of kind of the best tips? You know, if you are working directly in terms of how do you make sure you, you know, you're not getting you know, there's not going to be fraud. They take your money and run or what are some tips in terms of, I think, most importantly, getting the best price possible without sacrificing quality. Do you have any tips or sneak peeks that you could give a give us from your course? Because it relates to, you know, working directly with the manufacturer?Afolabi 00:02:11  Yes, one of the great. One of the funniest and, interesting things I put on the course is to set up a bidding war with, your suppliers.Afolabi 00:02:23  how I do it is. So when I'm sourcing products, I sourced product from, let's say, five different suppliers. Sometimes it could be up to ten suppliers, and then they give me the pricing. I don't negotiate at the first time. I wait till the end before I negotiate my prices. And then when I get all this prices from the suppliers, then I call for a video or, or image samples. I'm like, let me see you samples, do a video or do a photo. I see that, oh, okay. From the ten suppliers I might shortlist only 5 or 6. So from the six I said, okay, can you send me samples? I need physical samples. They say, oh, you got to pay for sample, no problem. Update. So I pay them for sample or pay for the sample shipping. They send me the samples and I take a look at them. And maybe I like only three out of the six people, six suppliers that sent me their samples.Afolabi 00:03:16  So I cut off three, I keep three, so out of the three I would say something like, hey, without them knowing, see, they don't know that all these three, all the suppliers don't know each other and they don't know I'm getting samples from different suppliers. So let's say one comes up at $2, another one comes up at $1.50, another one comes up at $1.75. So I know okay $1.75 is the middle range $1.50 I look at the quality of the $1.51. It's almost the same quality as the $2 one okay. That means this product can actually go with go for $1.50 or less. Then I look at how can I create a bidding war with these three guys and still get what I want in terms of product quality? I want product quality. So I would use two and two things. I'll use quantity purchases and I'll use price match. So I'll say to the one, let's say the 175 one has the best, quality. I'll say, hey, well I looked at your product and other suppliers product.Afolabi 00:04:31  I like your product, but your price is way more than other suppliers. and it's going to come back to me and say, what are they quoting you? Okay. I'm trying to get to $1.25 for this. And if you can do a $1.25, I'll give you a 5000 piece order right away. I'll choose you if you can beat the prices. So it's going to come back and say, Well, let me talk to my boss and said, okay, no problem. And then he says, well, we can only do $1.45 or a dollar, whatever. Okay, that's a good one. I know I can actually buy it at $1.50. Right. Because the lower range of my price is $1.50. I'm like okay. All right. Dollar 45 is fine, I say. But so when it gives me a price of $1.45, I keep quiet. I don't reply him anymore and it's going to keep blowing up my phone, my email, because he can't wait. He knows he's at the tipping point.Afolabi 00:05:33  It's at the at the point is about I'm about to hand him money because I already showed him money. I'm like, I'm going to order 5000 unit, but I want it at $1.25 and it comes, it comes back with $1.45. I'm like, okay, I keep quiet, okay. And it's going to start saying, hello, how are you? How are you there? I'm are you there? I'm like, I want people ask me, how long do I keep quiet? Sometimes a week or more. I just don't see anything...

Most home service businesses keep just 5 to 12% net profit, and most owners have no idea that is where they are. The best run HVAC, plumbing, and electrical shops keep 20%, and the gap almost always comes down to a few fixable mistakes. In this episode of Service Business Mastery, Tersh Blissett and Josh Crouch sit down with Matthew Mooney and Raymond Gong of Profitability Partners, a fractional CFO firm that spent years on the private equity side of the table and now helps owners find the profit already hiding in their business. They break down the real gross profit benchmarks for every trade, the labor and pricing mistakes that make your P&L lie to you, why fixing your booking rate beats spending more on ads, and how one plumbing company cut 3 million dollars a year in overhead in six months. This episode is brought to you in partnership with Upfrog, one of our show partners. Upfrog turns paid ad spend into booked, sold system replacements instead of wasted leads.

Many people believe feeling guilty about spending money means they're being financially responsible. The reality is often the opposite. In this episode of The Budgetdog Breakdown, I answer real listener questions about money guilt, investing during market downturns, building wealth with small monthly investments, managing bonuses, and having healthier financial conversations with your spouse. We discuss why confidence comes from having a financial plan, why trying to time the market rarely works, how consistent investing builds long-term wealth, and why your relationship with money often matters more than the numbers in your bank account. Money isn't just about math. It's about behavior. Episode Timeline and Highlights 00:00 Why wealthy people rely on systems 00:20 Why spending money makes you feel guilty02:26 Giving yourself permission to spend04:29 Should you invest during a market crash?09:37 Is $300 a month enough to build wealth?11:10 Why bonuses disappear12:35 Talking about money with your spouse16:05 Final thoughts Key Takeaways • Financial guilt comes from uncertainty, not spending • A financial plan creates confidence• Dollar-cost averaging beats timing the market• Small investments compound into significant wealth• Habits matter more than one-time decisions• Healthy money conversations build stronger relationships Quotables "Wealthy people aren't wealthy because they win every day. They use systems that make losing hard." "The more intentional you are with your money, the less guilty you'll feel spending it." "The biggest mistake investors make isn't buying at the wrong time, it's waiting for the perfect time." Your financial future isn't determined by one investment. It's determined by the habits and systems you build over time.

What if fundraising was never about money? In this episode of The Quiet Warrior Show, host and producer Dr. Tom Dutta sits down with Jeff Schreifels, Principal and Owner of Veritus Group, internationally renowned fundraising expert, keynote speaker, bestselling author, and pioneer of relationship-centred major gifts strategy. With over 30 years in nonprofit leadership, Jeff has helped organisations like St. Jude's, United Way, Seton Hall University, March of Dimes, American Cancer Society, GLAAD, and New York City Ballet increase revenue while strengthening donor relationships through what he calls the Veritus Way. But beneath the strategy lies something deeper. Jeff shares how listening to his inner voice at four to five pivotal life moments altered the trajectory of his life, shaped his leadership philosophy, and redefined what legacy truly means. This is a conversation about risk, intuition, leadership, and why the future of nonprofits depends on relationships over transactions. Learn more about Jeff and the Veritus Way at veritusgroup.com.

“I'll save what's left over” sounds responsible — but it usually does not work. Because most of the time, nothing is left over. Money without a plan gets absorbed into convenience, lifestyle creep, random spending, extra cash sitting in checking, or vague “I work hard, it's fine” decisions. In this episode, Shari Rash, founder of GWA Wealth, breaks down how to decide what to do with your next extra dollar before it disappears. This is not about being rigid or budgeting every penny. It is about giving your money direction. Shari walks through a simple framework to help you decide whether extra money should protect your stability, fund something coming up, capture an opportunity, grow for the future, or support the life you actually want. You'll learn how to think through cash reserves, investing, taxes, short-term goals, long-term wealth, lifestyle spending, and flexibility — so your next dollar has a clear job. Because every dollar does not need the same job. But every dollar does need a job. Money should not just come in and disappear. Money should be a tool that helps you live life on your terms.

Before launching more campaigns, testing more ads, or changing the strategy again, some ad accounts need a cleanup. In this episode, I walk through the practical account cleanup I'd consider before spending another dollar, including campaign clutter, naming, old tests, tracking, reporting, and why a messy account can lead to messy decisions.

Only 10% of American adults can answer a basic financial literacy question. Not a complex one: basic. Deon Hargrove saw that number and built an app to fix it. In this episode, Deon: founder of Smart Investors, breaks down why investing isn't gambling, why FOMO keeps more people out of the market than bad luck ever will, and why the best time to start is always right now. He walks through how his app lets users simulate real investing with virtual currency, learn from actual financial data and news, and stress-test their skills against real historical crashes, the dot-com bubble, 2008, COVID - before ever risking a dollar. We also get into the entrepreneur side: the imposter syndrome Deon battled building this solo, the burnout that cost him two years, and the moment he had to admit his back-end engineering skills weren't going to cut it on the front end, and what he outsourced because of it. If you've ever felt like investing is a language everyone else already speaks, this episode is your way in.

We discuss what societal collapse is and how it occurs, with a focus on inequality. We talk about human nature, life in hunter-gatherer societies, prehistoric violence, and dealing with antisocial individuals. We discuss why a linear view of history is wrong, the transition to agricultural societies, and whether it was good. We talk about the case of China. We discuss the idea of states as organized crime. We talk about why people with Dark Triad traits are overrepresented in leadership roles, and how we can deal with them.

Looking at breakeven in dollars does not help you run your bar.A dollar target sounds important, but it does not tell you what to do.In this episode, I'm breaking down a better way to look at breakeven: turning the number into guest count.We'll talk about fixed costs, contribution margin, average check, and how to figure out how many more people you actually need in the seats.Because saying you need another $1,500 a week is abstract.Saying you need 75 more guests is something you and your team can actually work with.If your financial goals feel unclear, this episode will make the number usable.

The Jewish People have the power to bring blessing to this world more than anyone else. In 1972, Rabbi Yaakov Asher Sinclair opened SARM Studios the first 24-track recording studio in Europe where Queen mixed "Bohemian Rhapsody". His music publishing company, Druidcrest Music published the music for The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1973) and as a record producer, he co-produced the quadruple-platinum debut album by American band "Foreigner" (1976). American Top ten singles from this album included, "Feels Like The First Time", "Cold as Ice" and "Long, Long Way from Home". Other production work included "The Enid – In the Region of the Summer Stars", "The Curves", and "Nutz" as well as singles based on The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy with Douglas Adams and Richard O'Brien. Other artists who used SARM included: ABC, Alison Moyet, Art of Noise, Brian May, The Buggles, The Clash, Dina Carroll, Dollar, Flintlock, Frankie Goes To Hollywood, Grace Jones, It Bites, Malcolm McLaren, Nik Kershaw, Propaganda, Rush, Rik Mayall, Stephen Duffy, and Yes. In 1987, he settled in Jerusalem to immerse himself in the study of Torah. His two Torah books The Color of Heaven, on the weekly Torah portion, and Seasons of the Moon met with great critical acclaim. Seasons of the Moon, a unique fine-art black-and-white photography book combining poetry and Torah essays, has now sold out and is much sought as a collector's item fetching up to $250 for a mint copy. He is much in demand as an inspirational speaker both in Israel, Great Britain and the United States. He was Plenary Keynote Speaker at the Agudas Yisrael Convention, and Keynote Speaker at Project Inspire in 2018. Rabbi Sinclair lectures in Talmud and Jewish Philosophy at Ohr Somayach/Tannenbaum College of Judaic studies in Jerusalem and is a senior staff writer of the Torah internet publications Ohrnet and Torah Weekly. His articles have been published in The Jewish Observer, American Jewish Spirit, AJOP Newsletter, Zurich's Die Jüdische Zeitung, South African Jewish Report and many others. A 'miracle story' with a twist Rabbi Sinclair was born in London, and lives with his family in Jerusalem. He was educated at St. Anthony's Preparatory School in Hampstead, Clifton College, and Bristol University. A Project Of Ohr.Edu Questions? Comments?

 In this week's episode, David and Ian discuss the continued chop fest, how the Magnificent Seven is a red flag, although at the same time Financials and Transportation stocks look good, which aids the bullish thesis that this consolidation resolves in the direction of the primary trend. They also discuss if the mega cap tech and Magnificent Seven era is over, what is going on with Consumer Staples, Utilities, and is it interest rate or inflation driven. Other topics discussed are tangible assets, the U.S. Dollar, the SpaceX IPO, and the next generation of market technicians. 

In a solo “random show” episode, Steve shares recent travel experiences and hospitality takeaways. He recaps six weeks of travel from HITEC in San Antonio to San Francisco with the Baya team, a visit to One Thread Farm, scouting land in Desert Hot Springs, and a last-minute trip to St. John in the US Virgin Islands, noting “island time” and the national-park beaches. A highlight is chartering to Jost Van Dyke to swim ashore to the Soggy Dollar Bar, home of the original Painkiller, and lessons on memorable arrival, history, and premium branding. He previews upcoming stays at Marriott Stanton Miami Beach and a family trip to Disney via Brightline, discussing hotel and Disney upsells and reducing purchase friction. He announces a new Hospitality Power Breakfast launching next month at The Moore in Miami, and gives a Baya Miami update, including site work, a 2027 opening plan, and an upcoming website launch.

His research interests include the evolutionary significance of individual differences, social endocrinology, links of somatometric measures of the body and face with psychological traits, the evolutionary psychology of mate choice, romantic relationships and sexuality, neurostructural indicators of intelligence and cognitive ageing, behavior genetics, and life history theory. In this episode, we talk about the ovulatory shift hypothesis. We start by discussing what it is, the predictions it makes,and how it is tested. We talk about whether mate preferences change across the cycle, preferences for competitive and courtship behaviors, whether women are more attractive during ovulation, and whether there are cues to fertility. Wediscuss the evolution of concealed ovulation in humans, and what we can say about cycle shift theories at this point. We also talk about the general evidence for good genes sexual selection in humans. Finally, we discuss sample limitations and the role of falsification in evolutionary psychology.--A HUGE THANK YOU TO MY PATRONS/SUPPORTERS: PER HELGE LARSEN, BERNARDO SEIXAS, ADAM KESSEL, MATTHEW WHITINGBIRD, ARNAUD WOLFF, TIM HOLLOSY, HENRIK AHLENIUS, ROBERT WINDHAGER, RUI INACIO, ZOOP, MARCO NEVES, COLIN HOLBROOK, PHIL KAVANAGH, SAMUEL ANDREEFF, FRANCIS FORDE, TIAGO NUNES, FERGAL CUSSEN, HAL HERZOG, NUNO MACHADO, JONATHAN LEIBRANT, JOÃO LINHARES, STANTON T, SAMUEL CORREA, ERIK HAINES, MARK SMITH, JOÃO EIRA, TOM HUMMEL, SARDUS FRANCE, DAVID SLOAN WILSON, YACILA DEZA-ARAUJO, ROMAIN ROCH, YANICK PUNTER, CHARLOTTE BLEASE, NICOLE BARBARO, PAWEL OSTASZEWSKI, NELLEKE BAK, GUY MADISON, GARY G HELLMANN, SAIMA AFZAL, ADRIAN JAEGGI, JOÃO BARBOSA, JULIAN PRICE, HEDIN BRØNNER, FRANCA BORTOLOTTI, GABRIEL PONS CORTÈS, URSULA LITZCKE, SCOTT, ZACHARY FISH, TIM DUFFY, SUNNY SMITH, JON WISMAN, WILLIAM BUCKNER, LUKE GLOWACKI, GEORGIOS THEOPHANOUS, CHRIS WILLIAMSON, PETER WOLOSZYN, DAVID WILLIAMS, DIOGO COSTA, ALEX CHAU, CORALIE CHEVALLIER, BANGALORE ATHEISTS, LARRY D.
