In this episode, Cory Connors welcomes back longtime friend of the show Ryan Fox from Bloomberg Intelligence for his fourth or fifth appearance. Ryan shares how he stumbled into the corrugated industry by accident in 2010 after a career detour through ministry and fitness equipment sales, and how he eventually landed at Bloomberg Intelligence in 2020 to cover the industry full time. The conversation dives deep into Ryan's one-of-a-kind Box Makers' Certificate (BMC) collection, the surprising history behind why BMCs exist at all, and what's really driving corrugated demand (or the lack of it) in 2025. Key Topics Discussed: Ryan's winding path into corrugated: ministry, fitness equipment sales, an MBA in innovation management, and a chance connection into a box plant sales jobHow Ryan became a full-time industry analyst at Bloomberg Intelligence starting April 1, 2020Ryan's collection of over 500 Box Makers' Certificates (BMCs), how he organizes and classifies them, and his "This Old Box" LinkedIn seriesThe 100+ year history of the BMC: corrugated's origins in the late 1890s, Robert Gare's accidental invention, and Sam Langston's early corrugating machineThe 1914 Pridham decision, railroad price gouging, and how Rule 41 created the need for box certificationThe 1960s shift with NMFC Item 222 and how the 42-lb kraft linerboard / 26-lb semi-chemical medium index shaped "should-cost" pricing for 200-lb Mullen boardThe industry's move from Mullen to ECT (Edge Crush Test) starting in 1990, and why 32 ECT (C-flute) dominates as the commodity grade for single-wall boxesThe science of box strength: the McKee formulation, predicting ECT from paper properties, and tools like the Chalmers Dynamic Stiffness TesterBehind-the-scenes craftsmanship: corrugator operations, die-mounting, flexographic print plates, and why a cutting die can cost $5,000The value of skilled trades on the plant floor and the case for box buyers to tour a corrugated plant2025 industry trends: square footage of boxes produced matching 1994 levels, the impact of offshoring pre-packaged imports, and 400,000+ open U.S. manufacturing jobsWages and opportunity in box plants, from $22/hour entry-level to $35/hour for skilled press operatorsWhy corrugated demand spiked during the pandemic and has since receded: shifting consumer spending, GLP-1 drugs, e-commerce paper mailers, and macro headwinds like conflict in Iran and rising freight and gas pricesOutlook for corrugated volume heading into the next 12-18 monthsResources Mentioned:Bloomberg IntelligenceFibre Box Association dataLinkedIn: Ryan FoxLinkedIn: BloombergContact: Listeners interested in Bloomberg Intelligence's corrugated and box industry research can reach out to Ryan Fox.Support our Sponsors Learn more here:- 3M- Specright- Forest Thank you for tuning in to Sustainable Packaging with Cory Connors!https://anewearthproject.com/collections/new-earth-approvedConnect with CoryConnect with Cory on LinkedIn here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/cory-connors/I'm here to help you make your packaging more sustainable!

Recorded two months ago, I sat down with fellow Breatharian initiate Steven Bamber for a powerful conversation about New Earth awakening, consciousness, trauma healing, and the collapse of old paradigms. Raised Christian before becoming an atheist, Steven shares how a shocking out-of-body experience completely transformed his understanding of reality, God/Source/universe and the nature of existence. We explore astral projection, depression, suicidal thoughts, the dark night of the soul, and the emotional isolation that often comes with spiritual awakening. Steven also opens up about his radical journey into Breatharianism, fasting, detoxification, and learning to completely shift his relationship with food. One of the coolest parts of this episode is our discussion about the “Unwind Machine,” an inversion-based nervous system healing technology designed to help release trauma and induce profound states of healing. I wasn't familiar with this contraption. Are you? Together we discuss why humanity is far more powerful, intuitive, and limitless than we have been taught to believe.

Why are youth sports losing participants at an alarming rate? In this episode, our hosting team—including two former high school coaches—takes a serious, unfiltered look at the growing crisis on the sidelines. We dive into the toxic parent culture, unrealistic expectations, and verbal abuse that are destroying youth athletics from the inside out. We break down two staggering statistics that every sports parent needs to hear: The Official Crisis: Why 55% of referees and officials quit early specifically because of the relentless verbal abuse they take from the stands. The Age 12 Drop-Out: Why the average child walks away from team sports by age 12, driven out by intense pressure and public embarrassment from their own parents. As coaches who have watched this behavior worsen year after year, we share firsthand stories from the bench, discuss the long-term damage to the kids, and issue a direct wake-up call to the sidelines. It is time to let the kids play, respect the whistle, and bring sportsmanship back to the stands.YouTube: youtube.com/15goodminutesBlueSky: @15goodminutes.bsky.socialemail: rusty@15goodminutes.comTwitter: twitter.com/15goodminutes

Clare Gardaí will have a heavy focus on tackling speeding and driving under the influence over this Bank Holiday Weekend. 105 people have lost their lives on Irish Roads this year, with six fatal incidents in Clare, more than the total for all of last year. Clare's Road's Policing Unit will have a highly visible presence until Tuesday, with checkpoints expected to be mounted countywide. Clare Superintendent John Ryan has been telling Clare FM's Daragh Dolan that a second's lapse in concentration can be lethal.
Last week, if you were in Toronto, you may have spotted a striking yellow-and-black Tesla Cybertruck cruising around the city. Behind the wheel was Shloime Zionce, the Toronto-raised White House correspondent for Ami Magazine and YouTube creator. He grew up in Toronto's Orthodox Jewish community before moving to the U.S. to attend yeshiva. While visiting his parents and extended family in his native city, Zionce launched his cross-continent mitzvah mission at a July 21 event outside the Promenade Shopping Centre in Thornhill. He will take the self-driving Cybertruck on the road, on his two-year quest to drive through all 50 U.S. states. He's encouraging Jewish pride and mitzvot in response to the surge of antisemitism since Oct. 7. Zionce is paying for the project himself to honour his late friend, Chabad Rabbi Zvi Kogan, who was kidnapped and murdered by Islamic terrorists in the United Arab Emirates in 2024. The eye-catching design is intentional. “Overall we need eyeballs on this thing because if you want to connect with Jews, the Jews have to notice you and see that you're there. And this vehicle is pretty hard to to go unnoticed.” On today's episode of The CJN's North Star podcast, host Ellin Bessner gets a private tour including climbing aboard for a ride through Zionce's grandmother's Thornhill neighbourhood, as he explains the mission behind one of the most unusual Jewish outreach vehicles on the road.

This week on Driving Law, Kyla Lee and Paul Doroshenko discuss a major Supreme Court of Canada decision concerning privative clauses and the ability of governments to restrict judicial review of administrative decision-makers. They explain why the ruling could eventually matter for British Columbia drivers challenging decisions involving ICBC's Enhanced Care system and the Civil Resolution Tribunal. The discussion examines the unusually high standards imposed on people seeking court review and whether some of those restrictions could be constitutionally vulnerable. Plus, the Ridiculous Driver of the Week features a motorhome that crashed through the perimeter fence at Abbotsford International Airport and continued onto an active runway, forcing aircraft to abort their landings.

Bridging Two Worlds: An American Immigrant's Story of Faith, Anxiety, and Political Calling Today, we are sharing a conversation between Curtis Chang and Lee C. Camp on the Signal Award-winning and 2026 Ambie Award-nominated podcast No Small Endeavor. Hosted by award-winning teacher and Professor of Theology and Ethics Lee C. Camp, No Small Endeavor explores what it means to live a good life through conversations about culture, ideas, and the habits that help people flourish. In this episode, you'll hear from Curtis Chang as he reflects on his experience as a Chinese American immigrant, former pastor, and public theologian, and argues that anxiety sits at the root of America's political crisis. Chang explains how anxiety is rooted in a fear of future loss, and offers actionable ways to name, face, and move through that anxiety with compassion rather than avoidance. You'll also hear Chang and Camp dig into how institutions are made up of people rather than systems, why that means they're capable of being healed rather than torn down, and why refocusing on the how of politics rather than just the what is essential to moving beyond our current moment of division.

With humanitarian needs surging and resources increasingly scarce, how does the World Food Programme decide where to cut assistance? Our guest today is Carl Skau, acting executive director of the World Food Programme. We begin by discussing how renewed fighting between the United States and Iran—and the resulting closure of the Strait of Hormuz and a key Red Sea transit corridor—is driving up food prices and worsening food insecurity around the world. Carl Skau also responds to Israeli criticism of a recent food-security report on Gaza, explains the operational challenges facing the WFP in Afghanistan and Sudan, and discusses why, on top of everything else, the organization is bracing for the possible arrival of a powerful El Niño.

Anirudh (Rudy) Ganesh is the Co-founder and CEO of Hotelzify, an AI-powered hospitality technology company that helps hotels increase direct bookings, streamline operations, and grow revenue. He leads the company's strategy and product vision, developing tools that combine booking technology, digital marketing, and AI-enabled guest engagement. Before founding Hotelzify, Rudy held software and product roles at JPMorgan Chase, Perpule, and Amazon. A National Institute of Technology Karnataka alumnus, he brings deep technical, product, and commercial experience to meaningful hospitality innovation worldwide. In this episode… Hotels lose revenue when potential guests encounter slow websites, missed calls, poor pricing, or complicated booking experiences. AI can address these gaps while allowing hotel teams to focus on delivering better stays — but what does an effective AI revenue engine actually look like? According to Rudy Ganesh, a software developer turned product leader, an effective AI revenue engine combines direct-booking technology, automated marketing, intelligent pricing, and personalized guest communication. He highlights how AI agents can manage campaigns, recover abandoned bookings, answer calls and chats, and adjust room rates based on demand and competitor activity. Together, these tools help hotels attract more guests, convert more inquiries, and improve profitability without proportionally expanding their teams. Rudy also applies e-commerce lessons from Amazon, such as reducing checkout friction, offering relevant payment options, and re-engaging interested customers. By automating digital tasks, hotels can dedicate more attention to on-site operations and memorable guest experiences. In this episode of the Inspired Insider Podcast, Dr. Jeremy Weisz sits down with Rudy Ganesh, Co-founder and CEO of Hotelzify, to discuss building an AI revenue engine for hotels. They explore direct-booking conversion, automated marketing and pricing, and AI concierge tools. Rudy also shares how customer feedback shapes product development and profitable growth.

MSCI's Ashley Lester and Axel Kilian unpack the most concentrated equity rally in decades, the effects of megacap IPOs, such as SpaceX and why fixed income never bought the rally — and what this all could mean for the rest of 2026.
Markets have powered through a volatile first half of 2026, despite geopolitical shocks, commodity swings, a more complex rates backdrop and increased scrutiny on the returns to AI and other growth investments. In this episode of J.P. Morgan's Making Sense, Evan Junek, global head of Corporate Finance Advisory, and Charlie Bouckaert, global head of Advisory and M&A, discuss the factors underpinning this resilience. They explore why M&A volumes have hit record highs, why corporates are leaning in with speed and scale, as well as how boards are thinking about strategic readiness in a still-receptive capital markets environment. They also dive into the shift from sponsor-led to strategic-led deal dynamics, what cross-border activity signals about geographic growth divergence and how policy uncertainty and antitrust perceptions are shaping timelines.

Jordan Anderson's path to becoming a NASCAR team owner was anything but conventional. From pitching sponsors as a 12-year-old to selling his Super Late Model after being caught in the fallout of a series of bounced checks, Jordan shares the moments that kickstarted a racing career that began with one simple goal: making a single NASCAR Truck Series start. That one start turned into a full-time season, which ultimately led to the birth of Jordan Anderson Racing. From handshake deals to changing engines in hotel parking lots, Jordan was willing to do whatever it took to survive. Along the way, he met his future business partner, John Bommarito, whose mentorship helped take the organization to the next level. Jordan explains why he eventually stepped away from chasing his own driving dream, how he built an O'Reilly Series team from the ground up, and the business decisions that have helped the organization survive and grow into its current technical alliance with series powerhouse Richard Childress Racing. Jordan also reflects on buying scuff tires instead of attending driver introductions, balancing budgets while trying to stay competitive, developing young talent, and why fatherhood has changed the way he leads his team. This episode of Business of Motorsports is packed with lessons on perseverance, leadership, and building something bigger than yourself.

This week on The Business of Watches, we take stock at the halfway point of the year for watch auctions. Remi Guillemin, Christie's head of watches for the Americas, Europe and Middle East, gives us his take on what's driving the interest of the top watch collectors these days. It's a pivotal time, with the watch auction market setting record sales results at most of the top auction houses despite global economic challenges and geopolitical tensions and conflicts. The last time the market was this hot was in the post-COVID era of 2021 and 2022. Guillemin believes this time is different, and he tells us why references from F.P. Journe and Cartier, and (surprise!) pocket watches, are driving the market these days and how that's a fundamental shift from the hype watch driven boom post-pandemic. He also shows us some of the watches in his personal collection and reveals the grail he's still chasing.

Gas is expensive again. Cars are also expensive, largely due to dealership fees and taxes. Driving in general seems barely worth it. You don't need to drive to go to Tokyo, though, and with the yen as weak as it is the whole country is cheap. You do need to fly, but let the airlines worry about jet fuel prices.Topics:Gas prices are highBuying a car is an unpleasant experienceTokyo Disneyland is nice and cheap
Is the 2026 Volkswagen Jetta GLI the last great affordable sports sedan? On this week's episode, we debate whether Volkswagen's final manual-transmission sedan is destined to become a future classic—or if the DSG automatic is actually the better buy. We break down the GLI's turbocharged performance, handling, ride comfort, practicality, and why it may be one of the best cars left to learn stick shift. Plus, we answer audience questions about the best used manual cars for beginners and whether driving a stick can actually make teen drivers safer.

The CPG Guys are joined in this episode by Rich Lehrfeld, SVP and General Manager of Walmart Connect International and Sam's Club Connect, the retail media business units of Walmart.This episode was recorded in France at the 2026 Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity.Follow Rich on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rich-lehrfeld-776b7786/Follow Walmart Connect online at: https://www.walmartconnect.com/Follow Sam's Club Connect online at: https://www.samsclubconnect.com/Rich answers these questions:1. Now that you're leading Walmart Connect alongside International advertising and Sam's Club Connect, what does “one connected global advertising ecosystem” actually look like operationally — and how soon will advertisers feel the difference?2. What capabilities or playbooks from Walmart Connect US are you most excited to bring into international markets, and conversely, what can Connect and international teach the core US business?3. This is Sam's Club Connect's first time at Cannes Lions — what's the headline message you want advertisers and agencies to walk away with?4. How does a presence at Cannes fit into COnnect's broader growth strategy, especially as it scales offerings like in-club, Omni Experiences, and audio/fuel screen ads?5. The industry conversation is shifting from impressions and ROAS toward broader business outcomes — what does that shift look like in practice for how Walmart structures its advertiser partnerships?6. What's the biggest misconception brands still have about what “success” should look like in retail media today?7. How does Walmart's first-party data — and Sam's Club's membership model specifically — change the kinds of insights and long-term value you can offer advertisers compared to transaction-only data?8. Where do you see the lines blurring most between media, commerce, and in-store/in-club experience — and which of those convergence points is Walmart investing in most aggressively right now?9. With Walmart's scale, data, and tech now spanning Walmart Connect, International, and Sam's Club Connect, what's your vision for the next big unlock for advertisers — and how do you think about translating that scale into measurable growth for both Walmart and your partners?CPG Guys Website: http://CPGguys.comFMCG Guys Website: http://FMCGguys.comSheCOMMERCE Website: https://shecommercepodcast.com/Rhea Raj's Website: http://rhearaj.comLara Raj in Katseye: https://www.katseye.world/DISCLAIMER: The content in this podcast episode is provided for general informational purposes only.

On today's episode, Jason and Derek settle a common debate - as a lifelong car enthusiast, is working in the automotive industry a dream job? Short answer: It's wonderful - but if it were as amazing as it seems 100% of the time, none of us would be paid to work in it. Jason gives us the rundown of his time in the industry - and we quickly realize, there's a lot of prep that happens behind the scenes of Revelations, Cammisa's Ultimate Drag Race & Ultimate Lap Battle, and other Hagerty Media pieces. This includes a sneak peak in the latest upcoming Lamborghini piece, featuring the Urraco, Jalpa, Countach, Gallardo, Revuelto, Temerario, and Jason's Ferrari 308 GT4 - many of which explored several states of function and non-function... Derek gives us a view into his world - one which he often has to travel around the globe to stand out as a collector car dealer in the modern era. Driving and experiencing dream cars around the world can be quite fun, but perhaps having to manage a personality or two, plus getting sick on an airplane. All that and much more on this week's episode of The Carmudgeon Show. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
Preston Cochrane Housing is essential, but is it enough to create lasting change for people experiencing chronic homelessness? In this episode, Rob Harter speaks with Preston Cochrane, CEO of The Other Side Village in Salt Lake City, Utah, about the nonprofit's human-centered approach to homelessness. Rather than treating residents as clients or case numbers, the organization creates a supportive community where people can rebuild relationships, rediscover purpose, develop practical skills, and take responsibility for their futures. Preston explains how The Other Side Village combines permanent housing with peer mentorship, meaningful work, recovery support, social enterprise, and a democratic therapeutic community. He also discusses the need to balance compassion with accountability, why lived experience is central to the organization's coaching model, and how the village measures long-term success through housing stability, self-reliance, sobriety, and crime-free living. Key Topics Include: Why housing alone may not address the isolation, trauma, addiction, mental health challenges, and broken relationships connected to chronic homelessness How a human-centered model helps residents move beyond short-term stabilization toward lasting transformation The importance of balancing compassion and accountability when serving people experiencing homelessness How coaches with lived experience provide credible peer support, mentorship, and encouragement Why residents are called neighbors and participate in a democratic therapeutic community How social enterprises provide employment, workforce training, purpose, and sustainable revenue The four outcomes The Other Side Village uses to measure success: permanent housing, employment or self-reliance, drug-free living, and crime-free living Mentioned in This Episode: Learn more about The Other Side Village Connect with Preston Cochrane on LinkedIn Learn more about The Other Side Academy Visit The Other Side Donuts Learn more about the National League of Cities This Episode is Sponsored By: Donorbox Links to Resources: Interested in Leadership and Life Coaching?

Cars driven by Israeli volunteers wait at check points to give lifts to sick Palestinians to their hospital appointments - what the volunteers call “one hour of peace”. Since Hamas's attacks on 7 October, it has become an increasingly rare space for Israelis and Palestinians to speak and build trust and connection amid the trauma of war. Most Palestinians from the occupied West Bank are prevented from travelling to Israel, among them patients in desperate need of specialised medical treatment. Some days there are more than 80 car rides, volunteer drivers, waiting at the checkpoint, by the separation barrier that divides Israel and the West Bank. Meanwhile in Gaza, patients who used to receive medical care in Israel are among around 20,000 patients on a long list awaiting medical evacuation. Jerusalem reporter Naomi Scherbel-Ball hears how they have survived more than two years of a devastating war, displaced from their homes and reliant on a health system all but destroyed by war. She also meets the Israeli volunteers, who had friends and family killed on 7 October. Despite the war, some have stayed in touch with the patients they used to drive from Gaza.

The yield on a 30-year Treasury bond has been hovering above 5% for a couple weeks — the longest stretch since the Great Recession. One reason is Treasury bonds are competing with Big Tech debt. We'll explain, with help from one reporter's shady gym membership deal. Also in this episode: AT&T attributes strong earnings to service bundles, a customs broker updates us on shipping logistics amid tariff changes, and Kai explains why Fed economists want to keep inflation expectations "anchored."Every story has an economic angle.
