FOLLOW UP: YOUR Darkside To Financial Freedom In this episode of Join Up Dots, we share powerful listener responses to The Downside of Being Financially Free — and the honesty is eye-opening. From retired business owners who lost their identity, to entrepreneurs questioning whether the sacrifice is worth it, to families realising freedom without purpose can create distance rather than connection, the message is clear: money removes pressure, but it doesn't automatically create meaning. Listeners open up about health slipping without challenge, addiction to the chase, and redefining success beyond the scoreboard. This conversation goes deeper than income — it's about identity, growth, contribution and choosing your next mountain. If this resonates, share it with someone chasing financial freedom or quietly wondering what comes next. #FinancialFreedom #LifeAfterSuccess #EntrepreneurMindset #PurposeDriven #JoinUpDots Don't forget to subscribe to the podcast and leave a review.

Getting into this class with our Top 3 (11:30) for 2026. Do we like Emeka Egbuka or Tetairoa McMillan at #1? Luther Burden will be #3 as of now. We spend a lot of time on these guys including what went wrong for Egbuka after his first five games, the obstacles for Burden and what went wrong for McMillan in his last five games ... Who in this class will be overdrafted (35:55)? Which players might be NFL busts (36:30)? Matthew Golden comes to mind, but what about Tre Harris? Travis Hunter?

Neil Patrick Harris would like to make art that is “apolitical.” Sydney Sweeney “is not a political person.” Jelly Roll is a “dumb redneck” who we shouldn't want to hear from, but we will be hearing his thoughts on global events “soon.” Ethan Hawke says we shouldn't seek moral guidance from “a bunch of jet-lagged, drunk artists,” and perhaps he's right. But at a time when celebrities who were once known for their political outspokenness have gotten strangely coy (Taylor Swift and Beyoncé come to mind), one naturally begins to wonder if something is amiss. And when LeBron James, who cites civil rights hero Muhammad Ali as an inspiration, says he's heard “only great things” about Israel — now we're just being, well, played. Today, Gianmarco Soresi, Caroline Kwan and I examine the marked shift pop culture has taken towards spinelessness and attempt to remedy it. Listen to bonus episodes on Patreon!

Comedian Gianmarco Soresi is brutally honest with us this week: he deeply relates to Antonio Salieri (F. Murray Abraham!) in Milos Forman's 1984 classical classic, Amadeus. But while Gianmarco can own his Salieri-like insecurities, he can't let it keep him from pursuing virtuosity.Then, Jordan has one quick thing about an exciting new action film from master Yuen Woo-Ping, Blades of the Guardians.Gianmarco's latest special is Thief of Joy.

In this episode, we sit down with Sarah Kennedy, Founder and CEO of Calocurb, to explore a radically different approach to appetite control rooted in real science, not willpower. With decades of leadership in nutrition and food science, Sarah breaks down how GLP-1s work, the downsides of chronic calorie restriction, and the key differences between synthetic drugs like semaglutide and natural GLP-1 stimulation. We dive into the history of bitters, digestion, and how Calocurb's patented ingredient Amarasate® supports appetite regulation through the gut–brain axis. Sarah also shares compelling clinical trial results, insights on coming off GLP-1 drugs, and why under-eating—especially for women—can backfire hormonally. It's a nuanced, empowering conversation about working with your biology to feel satisfied, nourished, and in control.Founder and CEO of Calocurb, Sarah Kennedy shepherded years of scientific research and clinical trials to bring a revolutionary product to market. A veterinarian by training, with more than 20 years' experience in dietary and animal nutrition, Sarah has held a number of CEO and senior executive positions in food and agriculture industries, at companies including Fonterra and Healtheries/Vitaco NZ.

Amarasate®, the patented active ingredient in Calocurb, was developed in New Zealand over 14 years and with $30m invested by Plant and Food Research, the largest NZ government-owned research institute.SHOW NOTES:0:40 Welcome to the show!2:39 About Sarah Kennedy3:54 Welcome her to the podcast!5:04 What is a GLP-1?7:27 Downside of calorie restriction8:52 Natural vs synthetic GLP-113:41 Coming off of GLP-1s14:56 Why it isn't just willpower18:07 History of bitters in the diet20:12 Stimulating digestion & appetite suppression23:22 Calocurb Study26:02 Semaglutide vs Calocurb29:45 Clinical trial results32:54 Calocurb & PMS34:10 Dosing Calocurb40:08 Our personal experiences43:37 Importance of protein intake46:41 Females that are under-eating54:52 Where to find Sarah & Calocurb55:30 Her final piece of advice57:21 Thanks for tuning in!RESOURCES:Website: www.Calocurb.com - Discount code: BIOHACKERBABESIG: CalocurbFacebook: CalocurbGLOBALSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/biohacker-babes-podcast/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands
In this episode, I sit down with sustainability expert Belen Benitez to talk about something most entrepreneurs completely ignore while scaling their businesses: protecting the downside. We break down why sustainability has nothing to do with being “woke” or environmental politics and everything to do with building a business that can survive uncertainty, leadership changes, labor shortages, pandemics, and economic chaos. Belen explains how fast growth without systems, culture, policies, and risk planning eventually leads to burnout, furloughs, and failure, and why slowing down strategically actually creates more money over a longer runway. This conversation challenged how I think about growth, risk, and long-term success, and it will do the same for any founder who wants to build something that truly lasts. About Belen: Belen Benitez is a sustainability strategist and founder of Baseline SD, a minority-owned consulting firm that helps companies turn sustainability into a competitive advantage. With nearly two decades of experience, she works with startups through global enterprises to build resilient, scalable business models that align growth, profitability, and long-term impact. Holding a master's degree in Sustainability from Harvard University, Belen has advised C-suite leaders and boards at organizations including Kelly Services, Holcim, UNDP, and Astrix Technology Group. Born in Ecuador and based in Miami, she brings a global perspective shaped by work across 18+ countries, helping founders and executives scale sustainably by integrating purpose, governance, and performance into their core business strategy.

Markets are breaking down from a rising wedge pattern, triggering a short-term momentum sell signal. Downside targets include the 50-DMA near 6,810 and the 100-DMA around 6,720—both important support levels to monitor. A 2–5% pullback is not unusual and is part of the normal investing process. While selling pressure may continue for a few sessions as sellers move lower to meet buyers, this does not signal the start of a major market downturn. Tariff headlines may create short-term noise, but they do not materially alter forward earnings expectations for major U.S. companies or the broader economic outlook. This is why disciplined risk management—rebalancing, taking profits, and avoiding knee-jerk reactions—matters most during periods of volatility. Let the market work through the move, then reassess positioning once price action provides confirmation.

Brandon Cobb is a former medical device sales pro turned land developer who scaled from flipping 30–40 houses a year into building and developing entire communities, primarily around Nashville, Tennessee. In this episode, Brandon pulls back the curtain on what really makes land development work (and what can destroy you), including the entitlement process, dealing with cities, structuring deals with national builders, and how he obsessively builds downside protection into every project. What you'll learn about in this episode How Brandon went from getting fired from his "dream job" to becoming a full-time real estate entrepreneur The million-dollar mistake Brandon made in land development and the "golden rule" that would've prevented it Why you should never buy land before approvals are in place (and the one exception where it can make sense) A real example of a $1.4M win: getting approvals first, installing infrastructure, and selling developed lots to a national builder Why timelines vary wildly by county and why you should plan for delays (Murphy always shows up) The role of attorneys, engineers, and a reliable development team and how referrals create "continuity" that speeds approvals How to determine the best use of land before you start analyzing a deal The due diligence checklist difference between houses vs. raw land (and why exit strategies matter more on land) Current ballpark development costs per lot (excluding land cost), and what makes costs jump fast (rock, topography, dirt, trees) What "entry-level housing" looks like in today's market and why demand is so strong (affordable monthly payment target) Why Brandon prefers selling to national home builders (capital strength, volume pricing, speed, and predictability) How builder deposits can fund development and reduce interest costs—plus how Brandon targets downside protection in his numbers The concept of "force appreciation" in three phases: entitlement, horizontal development, and building/renting as a backstop Why Ron says: avoid personally guaranteeing debt and stay out of banks whenever possible Resources RonLeGrand.com — Additional training, tools, and information.

With highly potent and (sometimes) legal marijuana widely available across the US, emergency rooms are reporting an increase in cannabis hyperemesis syndrome (CHS), an unpleasant condition characterized by screaming and vomiting—"scromiting" in the vernacular. The condition is yet more evidence that marijuana's reputation as a low-risk drug is undeserved.
In this episode of The Ross Simmonds Show, Ross dives into one of the most common yet damaging habits of leaders: micromanagement. While founders and leaders often express the desire for team members who “act like owners,” their own behavior can stifle that very ownership. Ross explores the concept of the "Ownership Window," offering a strategic framework for when leaders should be hands-on and when to step back. He breaks down the fine line between leadership and control, examines the stages of team empowerment, and provides actionable insights for creating a company culture rooted in autonomy, accountability, and trust. Key Takeaways and Insights: 1. The Ownership Paradox - Leaders say they want ownership but often undermine it with controlling behaviors. - A lack of delegation leads to decision bottlenecks and ruins team morale. 2. The Downside of Micromanagement - Suck energy out of teams. - Kill trust, decision-making, and momentum. - Be mistaken for productivity from the leader's perspective. 3. The “Ownership Window” Framework - New Hire or New System (High Support Needed): Provide clarity, oversight, and a tight feedback loop. Avoid guesswork by implementing SOPs, training, and checkpoints. - New Initiative (Strategic Oversight Needed): Leaders act more as advisors than operators. Maintain checkpoints without hovering. - Proven Leader (High Trust & Autonomy): Align on outcomes, then step back. Focus on results, not the method of execution. 4. Coaching vs. Controlling - Coaching is intentional and supportive. - Controlling is reactive and born out of ego or fear. - Leadership requires adjusting engagement based on team maturity and context. 5. Redefining Ownership in Leadership - Clear expectations of what great looks like. - Accountability for outcomes, not just tasks. - Autonomy to decide how work gets done. —
Join the New Year Reset! We start January 5th: https://mindin-my-wellness.captivate.fm/reset26You don't need a “new year, new you” moment to lean out and feel confident going into 2026. If you've made it through the busiest, messiest months of the year and you're still here showing up, this coaching chat is your pause button. I'm walking you through how I would personally enter 2026 if my goal was to lean out without pressure, guilt, or starting over.

Carley Garner explains what's behind this week's strength in crude oil, noting that “almost every year” crude oil generally sees its own Santa Claus rally as well. She sees resistance around $61 from a technical perspective and says the risk is to the downside. The season is “very ripe” for a big sell-off in the new year, she adds. Carley also covers the metal markets, where she warns about significant downside and a “bandwagon” trade.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

The Downside of VC Funding Hello, this is Hall T. Martin with the Startup Funding Espresso -- your daily shot of startup funding and investing. Venture capital can enable a startup to reach the next level through funding. There are downsides to VC funding. Here's a list: The founders' ownership goes down by 20-25% on each fundraising round. The VC model promotes growth over all other strategies. Taking VC money means taking the VC's business model, which is to give the Limited Partner a return in 3 to 7 years. VCs will want the founders to take a minimal salary so as to apply as much capital as possible to growing the business. The VC is concerned primarily with paying back the Limited Partners in their fund. This means the VC is less likely to support initiatives that are impact-related or others that are important to the founder. Some VCs provide funding but little else, such as coaching or a network. The VC will bring their view of how to grow the business, which may not align with the founder's vision. VCs take board seats, which come with a certain level of control. For some startups, angel money may be a better option. Consider these points before taking VC funding. Thank you for joining us for the Startup Funding Espresso where we help startups and investors connect for funding. Let's go startup something today. _________________________________________________________ For more episodes from Investor Connect, please visit the site at: http://investorconnect.org Check out our other podcasts here: https://investorconnect.org/ For Investors check out: https://tencapital.group/investor-landing/ For Startups check out: https://tencapital.group/company-landing/ For eGuides check out: https://tencapital.group/education/ For upcoming Events, check out https://tencapital.group/events/ For Feedback please contact info@tencapital.group Please follow, share, and leave a review.

In this episode of the PCOS Repair Podcast, you'll explore one of the most common traps many women with PCOS fall into: relying on diet alone as a solution. From strict PCOS meal plans to carb-cutting strategies, the focus often lands solely on food. But long-term relief from PCOS symptoms comes from a holistic lifestyle approach, not just what's on your plate. This episode breaks down why so many diets fail to deliver lasting results and how a root-cause-focused lifestyle can offer true, sustainable healing.The Downside of Diet-Only Approaches for Hormone HealthYou'll discover how common PCOS diets, even those labeled “PCOS-friendly,” can lead to temporary results and long-term frustration. From calorie cutting to keto, these methods often ignore the deeper hormonal imbalances driving PCOS symptoms. Diets can lead to stress, guilt, and even muscle loss, worsening hormone regulation. This episode helps shift your mindset away from rigid food rules and toward an empowering, supportive lifestyle that works with your body.A Root Cause-Based Lifestyle for PCOS HealingThis episode emphasizes the importance of identifying your unique PCOS root causes, whether insulin resistance, inflammation, chronic stress, or hormone and nutrient disturbances. You'll learn how to listen to your body's cues, including energy crashes, cravings, brain fog, and sleep disturbances, as powerful indicators of what your hormones need. Rather than following one-size-fits-all food plans, the lifestyle approach invites you to tailor daily routines to truly support your hormonal health.How to Shift from Diets to Sustainable Daily HabitsYou'll learn how to move from all-or-nothing thinking to a rhythm of daily habits that support your body consistently, even when life gets busy. This episode guides you in letting go of perfectionism and instead focusing on progress. It outlines how routines like consistent sleep, mindful movement, emotional wellbeing, and nourishing meals can create the healing environment your body needs. Even small changes lead to real results, and this mindset shift makes your PCOS journey more manageable and even enjoyable.Embracing Your Body and Finding Your FlowInstead of fighting your body or feeling stuck in a cycle of restriction, you'll learn how to work with your body's signals. This episode empowers you to become the expert on your own health, helping you build confidence, resilience, and calm as you navigate PCOS. Healing takes time, but when you move from restrictive diets to hormone-supportive routines, the transformation is not only effective but sustainable.If you've felt confused by all the plans and protocols out there, this episode is your invitation to come back to your body and start supporting it in a way that's realistic, lasting, and truly healing.You can take the quiz to discover your root cause hereLet's continue the conversation on Instagram!What did you find helpful in this episode and what follow-up questions do you have?The full list of Resources & References Mentioned can be found on the Episode webpage at:https://nourishedtohealthy.com/ep-177

Clem Chambers has been a Forbes contributor for 20 years. His predictions have often been surprisingly accurate, so it's worth listening to what his crystal ball has to say about 2026.VideoConnect with Clem* Clem Chambers Alpha channel: https://www.youtube.com/@ClemChambersAlpha* X (Twitter): https://x.com/ClemChambers* Personal site: https://www.clemchambers.com * LinkedIn (Online Blockchain / ADVFN profile): https://uk.linkedin.com/in/clem-chambers-756145196* Facebook profile: https://www.facebook.com/chambers.clem/Perplexity wrote...Clem Chambers has generally predicted a capped upside for Bitcoin this cycle around the low‑hundred‑thousands, followed by a sharp “crypto winter” pullback, with much higher long‑term potential over multiple halvings.Key cycle targets* In a 2024 article, he suggested that after breaking the old 60k~60k 60k high, a reasonable peak for this halving cycle would be around 120,000 USD, using a simple “previous peak × 2 after halving” rule of thumb.* In late 2024, he wrote that moves from 100,000 toward about 110,000–120,000 USD still looked “sensible,” while 150,000 was “not impossible” but more stretched for this cycle.* In late 2024, commentary quoted by financial media, he said Bitcoin might top out near 120,000 USD and that he had exited around 100,000, expecting the current cycle to be near its peak.Downside and crash scenarios* In mid‑2023 roundtable comments, he floated a possible downside as low as 13,000 USD in a bearish scenario, but said a more likely level for that bear phase was around 25,000 USD by the end of 2023.* In a 2025 Forbes piece on crash scenarios, he discussed how far Bitcoin could fall from its then‑high around 126,000 USD, describing a roughly 30% drop to below 90,000 as part of an expected post‑peak correction within the halving‑driven cycle framework.* In a 2025 Kitco/iHeart interview, he warned of an imminent “crypto winter” that could push Bitcoin back into roughly the 40,000–60,000 USD range after the current cycle peak.Longer‑term views* Chambers has repeatedly framed Bitcoin as “digital exit gold,” arguing that the four‑year halving cycle tends to drive a rough doubling of price each time, which in his view supports the idea of much higher prices over multiple future cycles rather than a straight line to extreme targets in this one.* In a 2025 debate, he allowed that Bitcoin could reach very high levels, such as 1 million USD per coin, but only over a much longer horizon—on the order of a decade and multiple halvings—rather than in the current 2024–2025 bull phase.ConnectSend me an anonymous voicemail at SpeakPipe.com/FTaponYou can post comments, ask questions, and sign up for my newsletter at https://wanderlearn.comIf you like this podcast, subscribe and share!On social media, my username is always FTapon.

Amazon's (AMZN) re:Invent 2025 event showed a key emphasis on A.I. and AWS, says Steven Dickens, though he also points to the company's in-house chip development as another takeaway investors can't miss. The company is making the maneuvers as it seeks to use A.I. to boost efficiency and ad sales. However, Steven makes the case that potential gains for Amazon will not hurt Nvidia (NVDA). Tom White offers an example options trade for Amazon. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.
