From ride-share apps to concert tickets, Australians have been exposed to dynamic pricing practices across the board. In the age of AI, it is critical to explore whether our legislative and regulatory consumer protections remain fit for purpose, and whether algorithms may soon require their own legal advice. In this episode of The Lawyers Weekly Show, host Jerome Doraisamy speaks with Maddocks partner Shaun Temby about how dynamic pricing works, the risks inherent with consumers not getting the best deal, how the algorithm fits into such pricing practices, the legislative and regulatory state of affairs, whether existing laws capture the changing landscape in the age of AI, consequences for businesses found to have engaged in deceptive conduct, whether algorithms will need legal representation, who bears liability, and how lawyers in this space can be responding to the changing climate.

What if secondhand fashion could work more like the stock market, with real-time data, dynamic pricing and AI helping businesses understand what products are actually worth? In this episode of the WS Podcast, Woj sits down with Woody Lello, philosophy graduate and Co-Founder of Truss Fashion, to explore the rapidly changing world of secondhand fashion, resale technology, AI, entrepreneurship and startup survival. Woody's journey is anything but conventional. From studying philosophy to building a technology company in the resale industry, he explains why philosophical thinking may actually be one of the most useful tools for navigating the uncertainty of entrepreneurship. We explore: why philosophy can prepare you for entrepreneurship how thought experiments can help founders make decisions with incomplete information why the secondhand fashion market is becoming increasingly professionalised how AI and market intelligence can transform resale businesses why secondhand goods could increasingly be priced according to real-time supply and demand how dynamic pricing can create more value for buyers, sellers and brands Woody's concept of "kill criteria" and knowing when it's time to walk away from a startup how founders can avoid sunk-cost thinking and emotional attachment why comparing yourself to other founders on LinkedIn and social media can be incredibly misleading the role of luck, consistency and survivorship bias in entrepreneurial success how the resale industry is moving from peer-to-peer marketplaces towards professional, business-driven models Woody also opens up about the psychological side of being a founder, including impostor syndrome, uncertainty, comparison and the pressure to succeed. One of the most interesting ideas in the conversation is the concept of "kill criteria": instead of emotionally deciding whether to continue or quit, define the conditions in advance. If you haven't reached specific milestones by a certain point, you walk away. It sounds simple, but could this be one of the best ways to protect yourself from the sunk-cost fallacy? The conversation also asks bigger questions about the future of fashion: Is secondhand fashion becoming the next major data-driven industry? Can AI make resale more efficient and profitable? And in a world obsessed with overnight success, is simply staying in the game the real competitive advantage? Whether you're interested in AI, fashion, secondhand clothing, resale, startups, entrepreneurship, philosophy, dynamic pricing, sustainability or the future of retail, this episode offers a fascinating look at an industry undergoing a fundamental transformation. From philosophy to fashion. From intuition to data. From peer-to-peer resale to an intelligent secondhand economy.

In this episode of the Crazy Wisdom Podcast, host Stewart Alsop sits down with TJ Marbois, founder of Tobiko, for a wide-ranging conversation that spans LLMs, data sovereignty, knowledge management tools like Obsidian, and Terence McKenna's ideas about an increasingly weird future. They explore how AI is simultaneously centralizing power through data control while decentralizing software development capabilities, allowing more people to build their own tools and escape big tech ecosystems. Drawing on his experience at Apple's special projects group (the team that built the iPod and later iPhones), TJ discusses his vision for personal AI assistants—what he calls the "R2-D2 belongs to you" principle—where advanced technology serves individuals rather than corporations. The conversation touches on everything from quantum encryption and local manufacturing with ESP32 microcontrollers to the economics of future society, biometric data unions, and why distributed trust matters more than ever as we approach what both describe as an increasingly strange technological inflection point.

The concept of R2D2 belonging to you represents a critical vision for the future of artificial intelligence and personal technology. When thinking about robots and AI assistants that follow us around and know everything about us, the question of ownership becomes paramount. These systems will know incredibly intimate details about our lives, from our health data to our daily habits, and if they are controlled by centralized corporations or governments rather than individuals, we lose fundamental sovereignty over our own information. The science fiction of Star Wars and Star Trek provides roadmaps for how we should think about these technologies, showing us both the positive possibilities and the warnings we need to heed about centralized control.2. Local AI models and distributed computing represent a pathway to technological sovereignty that is becoming increasingly viable. While large language models currently run primarily in centralized data centers, the technology is rapidly advancing toward a future where powerful models can run locally on personal computers and devices. This shift is crucial because it means individuals can have full control over their AI assistants without relying on API calls to external servers. Combined with open source infrastructure and open weight models, this creates the foundation for truly personal AI that cannot be controlled or monitored by external parties, whether corporations or governments.3. Data unions and collective data ownership offer an alternative model to current centralized data collection practices. Rather than having individual data harvested by large tech companies who profit from it, the concept of data unions suggests people could collectively pool their data for specific beneficial purposes while maintaining ownership and control. For example, in healthcare, millions of people could share anonymized biometric data to train medical AI systems that are incentivized to keep people healthy rather than treat them when sick, inverting the current insurance model to align incentives with actual health outcomes rather than profit from illness.4. The democratization of manufacturing and robotics through accessible technologies like ESP32 microcontrollers and local fabrication tools is creating new possibilities for distributed production. Just as desktop printers seemed impossible to early printers who controlled book production, we are approaching an era where individuals and small communities can manufacture sophisticated electronic devices and robots locally. This includes the ability to use language models to generate code for microcontrollers, order custom PCBs, and use desktop machines for component placement. While high quality manufacturing will still require larger operations, this gradiation of capability allows for much more local innovation and reduces dependence on centralized manufacturing.5. The concentration of power in technology, finance, and industry has reached levels that are unhealthy for both society and even for those who hold the power. When profit and control become too concentrated in the hands of a few entities, it creates a cancerous dynamic that threatens the stability of the entire system. History shows us warnings about the military industrial complex and other concentrated power structures, and now we are seeing similar patterns emerge in the tech industry. The solution requires building technology from the ground up that empowers individuals and communities, focusing on basics like food production, energy generation, and local manufacturing rather than increasing dependence on centralized systems.6. The provenance and quality of information is becoming a critical challenge as AI systems become more sophisticated and reality itself becomes harder to verify. We are rapidly approaching a point where video calls and digital interactions will be indistinguishable from AI generated fakes, which is why figures like Sam Altman have invested in systems like Worldcoin to verify human identity. However, this verification capability should not be centralized in the hands of single companies. End to end encryption and quantum encryption technologies need to be preserved and expanded to allow humans to communicate and verify information peer to peer without centralized intermediaries who could manipulate or control the flow of information.7. The future of human computer interaction is evolving toward sentient loop systems where machines have sensory input, real time learning, context understanding, and continuous operation in service of human needs. Self driving cars represent the first widespread consumer facing example of this architecture, with onboard computers that must function independently while occasionally connecting to networks. The critical question is whether these systems will be aligned to benefit their human users like a caring mother as AI pioneer Geoffrey Hinton suggests, or whether they will be controlled by centralized powers. The technologists building these systems have a responsibility to be benevolent and build structures that serve humanity rather than concentrate power, helping to create a future more like Star Trek than Terminator.

The K-Shaped Economy May Be Improving If you're unfamiliar with the term, the upper arm of the “K” represents higher-income Americans, who are spending more and generally doing better. The lower arm represents lower-income consumers who have been struggling with higher prices and tighter budgets. But there are signs the lower end of the K-shaped economy may finally be improving. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent recently argued that the K-shaped economy is over and that we're moving toward what he calls a “C-shaped economy,” where lower-income workers are beginning to catch up. That may sound like a bold statement, but there are some encouraging signs behind it. Economists have pointed to stronger hiring in the spring and early summer, which has allowed more Americans to change jobs. Changing jobs often comes with higher wages, giving lower- and middle-income households more income to spend. There has also been improvement in wage growth at the lower end of the income spectrum as after-tax wages grew at an average 5.2% annual pace in July for lower-income households. This marked the first time since December 2024 that after-tax wage growth for lower-income households surpassed higher-income households. Higher-income workers are still seeing strong wage growth as well. So, I wouldn't say the K-shaped economy has completely disappeared, but the bottom of the K may be starting to move upward. Another positive is the impact of the Big Beautiful Bill. Provisions such as no tax on overtime and no tax on tips can put more money directly into workers' pockets. This led to good refunds for many people and some people have also changed their withholding to increase their take-home pay rather than waiting for a large refund at tax time next year. That makes perfect sense. Why give the government an interest-free loan of thousands of dollars when you could have an extra couple hundred dollars in your paycheck every month? There are other encouraging signs. Data shows the share of households paying off their credit card balances each month is increasing, while savings remain above 2019 levels when adjusted for inflation. We're also seeing some evidence that consumer spending is becoming less concentrated among higher-income households. In the month of July, spending on credit and debit cards rose 5.4% for lower-income households year over year compared to growth of 4.3% for higher-income households. That's important because consumer spending accounts for roughly 70% of U.S. GDP. If lower-income consumers are finally seeing their incomes improve, paying down debt and rebuilding their financial cushion, that could broaden economic growth beyond the wealthier consumer. I'm not ready to declare the K-shaped economy dead. There are still significant differences between how higher- and lower-income Americans are doing, and housing affordability remains a major problem. But perhaps the more important point is this: The bottom half of the K may finally be starting to move upward. If that continues, it could create a much healthier economy in the second half of the year, with GDP growth potentially around 2.5% in the third and fourth quarters. Maybe the economy isn't completely C-shaped yet, but it may be starting to bend in that direction.   How to protect yourself when someone tries to sell you alternative investments You may already know this, but there are some brokers out there who are very good salespeople and unfortunately, they may be more concerned about their commission than your financial well-being. It's estimated that over the next three to four years, another $2 trillion of client assets could flow into alternative investments. I've talked at length about the high fees, which can be 2% or more, and the fact that your money could be tied up for 10 years or longer. Even when you are allowed to get your money back, the redemption process can be very slow. If you still believe an alternative investment makes sense for you, here are some questions you should ask the person selling it to you. First, what is the manager's track record? Don't just take their word for it. Verify the track record and make sure you understand what they actually managed. Someone who successfully managed a small fund may not have the same results when they are suddenly managing multiples of that amount. Second, how will I receive my tax information? A lot of investors are surprised at tax time when they receive a K-1 instead of a 1099. K-1s can make your taxes more complicated and often arrive much later than a 1099. That can mean waiting to file your taxes or even having to file an extension. Understand the tax reporting before you invest. Third, how do I get my money out? Ask exactly what the redemption rules are. How long is the lockup? How much notice do you have to give? Are there penalties or restrictions Don't assume you can access your money whenever you want. Fourth, what happens if things go wrong? What recourse do you have if the investment loses money or the manager does something wrong? You may discover that you signed an arbitration agreement that prevents you from taking the firm to court. In some cases, the investment may even be governed by laws outside the United States. Fifth, how much does the broker and their firm get paid? Ask directly: “How much do you earn if I invest in this? Does your firm receive additional compensation for recommending it? If so, how much?” And there are two other questions I think everyone should ask. “Knowing my financial situation, do you really think it makes sense for me to tie up my money for 10 years?” And perhaps most importantly: “Anything you are telling me verbally, please put it in writing.” If they won't put it in writing, you should seriously question what you're being sold. I believe alternative investments are much riskier than people are led to believe and you need to understand the fees, liquidity, tax consequences, and incentives of the person selling them to you. Never let a salesperson rush you into an investment you don't completely understand.   Should You Invest in Dividend-Paying Stocks or Not? Over the last 15 years, the dividend yield on the S&P 500 has been cut roughly in half from more than 2% to just over 1%. Some investors may say, “Who cares? My total return is much higher, and I don't need the dividends.” But they may be missing an important part of investing, especially as they get older and closer to retirement. Dividend-paying stocks can provide a valuable source of cash flow. Qualified dividends also receive favorable tax treatment compared with ordinary income. That tax advantage, particularly when compared with interest from U.S. Treasuries or CDs, is worth considering. Another benefit investors sometimes overlook is dividend growth. Many companies increase their dividends over time, sometimes every year, as their earnings and cash flow grow. This can potentially provide investors with a growing stream of income. Investors appear to be taking notice. Morningstar has reported that dividend-focused funds have attracted billions of dollars in new money over the past two years. Using dividend funds is one option, but at Wilsey Asset Management, we prefer investing in individual companies because we believe it can provide a higher yield while giving us more control over the companies we own. Of course, a high dividend yield alone doesn't make a stock a good investment. We look at several factors to manage risk, including: The company's payout ratio based on earnings and cash flow to make sure the dividend is sustainable. The company's debt and interest expense to make sure it isn't overly burdened by high-interest payments. The valuation of the company to make sure investors aren't paying too much for its earnings. Investors should also remember that dividends are never guaranteed. Companies can cut or even temporarily suspend their dividends when their business requires them to preserve cash. For that reason, diversification is important. We believe investors should consider owning at least 12 to 15 different dividend-paying companies across multiple industries rather than relying heavily on just a few stocks. Dividend investing isn't just about the yield today. It's about the potential for income, dividend growth and total return over time. As investors get closer to retirement, that income can become a much more important part of the overall investment strategy.   You could be paying more for products because of something called dynamic pricing. Most people assume that when they see a price online, everyone else is seeing the same price. That may no longer be the case. With AI and the enormous amount of data companies can collect, retailers can learn a surprising amount about you. They may know your browsing history, location, the type of device you're using, your purchase patterns and even how long your cursor stays over a particular product. They can also potentially determine whether you're a college student, a businessperson, or a senior citizen. They may also know what competing apps or websites you use. The thinking is simple: If you're not shopping around, a retailer may believe you're more willing to pay a higher price. You may be thinking, Isn't this illegal? According to the Federal Trade Commission, it appears to be somewhat of a gray area. The FTC has recently addressed the use of consumer data to personalize prices and has said that businesses need to be transparent about what information they're using and when they're using it to personalize an offer. My guess is this will be like many other disclosures: We'll see them, but most people won't take the time to read them. So, what can you do to protect yourself? Shop around. Before making a purchase, compare the same product on at least two or three different websites. Don't assume the first price you see is the best price. And here's the interesting part: retailers may know you're shopping around. If they can see that you're comparing their price with competitors, they may have an incentive to offer you a better deal. In other words, the same technology that could potentially be used to charge you more could also work in your favor.   AI Is Creating Turmoil in the Book Publishing Industry AI is disrupting many areas of our lives that we've become accustomed to and the book publishing industry is no exception. The publishing industry is struggling with a difficult question: How much AI should authors be allowed to use? Some authors believe books should not be created by machines. Last year, 70 well-known authors signed a pledge opposing the use of AI to generate books. But the major publishing houses, including Random House and HarperCollins, aren't necessarily taking such a hard-line approach. They've discovered that AI can be extremely useful for authors, particularly when it comes to research. It can also make it possible to publish more books, which can obviously be lucrative for publishers. There are even programs publishers can use to detect whether AI was used in a book, such as the Pangram program. At the same time, the industry is trying to combat something known as “slop books.” These are books produced very quickly, often with little creative value, simply to generate a quick profit. AI has made it much easier to produce these types of books at scale. One study found that roughly 20% of e-books on Amazon contain substantial AI assistance. So, the big question is: How much AI is too much? Should AI not be used at all? Should it be limited to research and helping authors brainstorm and organize their ideas? Personally, I think AI can be a great tool for research, but it shouldn't be used to write the book for you. The creativity, ideas and actual writing should still come from the author. That said, I wonder if those resisting AI in writing today are making the same mistake car companies once made when they resisted the assembly line because they wanted to continue hand-building cars. We may not like technological progress. It can feel uncomfortable and even scary at times. But history has shown us that you can't stop it. AI is going to continue changing the way we work and create. The people and businesses that learn how to use it effectively and adapt to it will likely be the ones who benefit the most.   GM May Lose the Title of No. 1 Auto Seller in the U.S. General Motors has held the No. 1 spot for auto sales in the United States for 100 years, but that streak could be coming to an end. Toyota is closing in, and based on sales through July, GM has sold only about 100,000 more vehicles than Toyota. At first, that sounds like bad news for GM. But I actually think it's a positive development. For years, GM sacrificed profits in an effort to remain the No. 1 automaker. The company frequently relied on large rebates and discounts to move vehicles off dealer lots, which helped sales but hurt profitability and contributed to GM's financial struggles. That strategy has changed dramatically under CEO Mary Barra, who took over in 2013. The goal is no longer to sell the most vehicles, it's to make the most money. GM has moved away from low-priced cars and sedans with thin profit margins and focused more heavily on larger, higher-margin SUVs and trucks. Vehicles like the Cadillac Escalade and Chevrolet Silverado can generate significantly more profit than lower-priced models. Compare that with Toyota, which sells popular vehicles like the Corolla and Camry in the roughly $24,000–$30,000 range. GM is selling trucks that can cost around $50,000 or more, while high-end models like the Cadillac Escalade can surpass $100,000. In many ways, GM has become more of a premium automaker, competing more directly with companies like Mercedes-Benz and BMW. One challenge GM is facing is factory utilization. Its utilization rate has fallen to about 73% this year, down from 78.5% in 2024. Automakers generally want factory utilization around 80%–85%, while Toyota is operating at roughly 92%. GM plans to add new models to its production lines, which should help improve factory utilization and spread its costs over more vehicles. So, yes, it may be a little disappointing that we won't be able to pound our chests and say General Motors sells more vehicles than anyone else in America. But if you're a GM shareholder, I think you should care a lot more about profitability than bragging rights. And so far, shareholders have been rewarded with a significant increase in GM's stock price.   Company Discussed: Advance Auto Parts, Inc. (Ticker: AAP)

Episode 310 opens with Steve Dennis reporting back from an invitation-only Amazon analyst day in Seattle, two days focused on Prime and grocery. Steve unpacks the breadth of the Prime flywheel, Amazon's push into sub-one-day delivery, the drone facility he toured just before the company announced an expansion to roughly 500 markets, and why Amazon's rise to the number two grocer in North America should have rivals looking over their shoulders. Then, the numbers. US retail sales grew about 5% excluding fuel. Walmart delivered a lackluster 2.6% US comp, its weakest in six years, offset by a 46% jump in global advertising and nearly $3 billion in tariff refunds the company says it will reinvest in price. Target posted a nearly 4% comp with traffic up 3.6%; real progress, though Steve cautions the invitation can be better than the party. In off-price, TJX comped 4% while Ross Stores turned in a second straight double-digit quarter. And Simon Property Group made the case that great physical retail is alive and well. The interview, recorded live at the CommerceNext Growth Show in New York, features Scott Friend, Partner at Bain Capital Ventures, and Indy Guha, General Partner at VMG Partners. Scott co-founded price optimization pioneer ProfitLogic before joining BCV twenty years ago; Indy co-leads VMG's commerce infrastructure fund after scaling Signifyd. Together they tackle a hard question: when AI makes everything easier to build, how do you tell a real company from a pitch formula? Their answer centers on founder clarity and earned domain expertise, because a couple of quarters' head start has never mattered more. The conversation ranges across whether personalization and merchandising optimization are now table stakes, the surveillance pricing debate, AI-driven homogeneity versus the promise of the "N of one" customer journey, and Indy's memorable "Claude-proof" test for anyone building in commerce. Both push back on agentic commerce hype, arguing agents will own low-interest replenishment missions while people keep the treasure hunt. Scott points to the revenue ramp of AI-native companies as evidence this cycle is real, not overhyped. Both land in the same place: brand, community, and authenticity are the last durable moats, and retail teams must become architects rather than assembly-line workers. Back in studio, on the radar: Steve tracks the bond market, with 30-year Treasuries at a 19-year high and the 10-year at 4.75%, squeezing discretionary income and retailer expansion plans alike. Michael watches Canadian icon Roots, newly sold to New York's Marquee Brands with Joe Mimran advising on merchandising, and asks whether the brand can reclaim its former glory. Registration is open for a special webinar featuring Steve in conversation with Placer AI's Head of Analytical Research RJ Hottovy. From changing shopping patterns to emerging market opportunities, shifting consumer demand continues to reshape the industry. So don't miss this data-driven session unpacking the most important trends defining today's marketplace and the strategies leading brands are using to win retail's future.

There's been a verdict in the Live Nation/Ticketmaster antitrust case. So what happens now?Matt Ford sits down again with artist manager and industry operator Randy Nichols to unpack what the jury's monopoly verdict actually means, why the case is still far from over, and what a potential breakup of Live Nation and Ticketmaster could really look like.They also dig into another major fight unfolding in ticketing: speculative ticketing and the secondary market. Randy shares his firsthand experience testifying in California in support of legislation targeting speculative ticket sales and breaks down his concerns about StubHub, including speculative listings for major events like FIFA and the conflicts he sees within the secondary ticketing market.Episode Timestamps:(2:20) What Actually Swung the Live Nation JuryHow one explosive phrase became the emotional center of the case and shaped the jury's perception.(11:20) “Blue Dot Fever” and the Reality of Soft ToursAre arena tours actually struggling, or is the panic around unsold seats missing the bigger picture?(17:20) Ticket Prices Are Becoming a Barrier to FandomWhy increasingly expensive nights out could threaten the industry's ability to build the next generation of lifelong fans.(32:35) What the Live Nation Verdict Actually MeansWhat happens after a monopoly verdict, from potential remedies to years of legal challenges and appeals.(44:45) Would Breaking Up Live Nation Actually Lower Ticket Prices?Why a breakup may make for a compelling political win without necessarily making concerts cheaper.(55:30) Could Ticketmaster Be More Powerful on Its Own?The surprising argument that separating Ticketmaster from Live Nation could actually expand its reach.(1:08:00) The Fight Over Spec Ticketing and Resale Price CapsRandy shares why he testified in California and what proposed ticketing legislation could change.(1:15:20) StubHub, Spec Tickets, and the FIFA MessA look at speculative ticket listings, platform accountability, and Randy's own test listing a nonexistent FIFA ticket.(1:27:20) Why Spec Bans Could Matter More Than a Live Nation BreakupRandy makes the case that limiting scalper arbitrage could do more for ticket prices than breaking up Live Nation.(1:33:40) Dynamic Pricing and a Potential Grand BargainIf the industry eliminates industrial scalping, should primary ticketing platforms give up dynamic pricing too?Please share this with anyone that might be interested in the topics, links below to subscribe and stay in the loop with the podcast and Prism:Subscribe ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠More on⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Prism⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow us on Instagram (⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@prismfm⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠)Follow us on LinkedIn (⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠)Meet the Podcast Host/CEO of Prism -⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Matt Ford⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Opening Music -⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Banana Bread - Layton.rx⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ (Prism engineer!)

Zu Beginn der Aufnahme beschäftigt uns der Totalchrash der vergangenen Saison indirekt ein weiteres Mal: Um sich finanzielle Beinfreiheit zu verschaffen verlängert die Fortuna den Vertrag mit Adidas und 11Teamsports vorzeitig und führt gestaffelte Ticketpreise ein (Dynamic Pricing). Wir sprechen darüber, was wir davon halten (Anfang). Anschließend richten wir den Blick auf den Saisonauftakt in Mannheim: Der Aufprall in der dritten Liga ist emotional hart. (00:15:00) .Sportlich ebenso: Die Fortuna verliert 1:2. Wir beleuchten die diversen Baustellen im Spiel der Fortuna, teilen aber auch Beobachtungen, die Hoffnung machen. (00:26:45) Zum Ende der Folge blicken wir voraus auf das Spiel gegen die Zweitvertretung des Dorfklubs aus Sinsheim. Was muss sich am Samstag ändern, um nicht direkt in die erste Krise der Spielzeit zu rutschen? (01:48:00)

Freight rates have entered a new phase, and the signals pointing to it have been hiding in plain sight for anyone willing to look past the headlines and into the data. In this episode of Supply Chain Now, Scott W. Luton is joined by Jake Barr, Chris Caplice, Chief Scientist at DAT Freight & Analytics, and Bobby Holland, Vice President/Director of Freight Business Analytics at U.S. Bank, to dig into the newly launched U.S. Bank Freight Payment Index Rates Edition, a joint report combining U.S. Bank's $46 billion in annual freight payment processing with DAT's database of more than a trillion in freight market transactions. Chris breaks down why this tightening cycle isn't the surprise so many transportation executives believe it to be, explaining how capacity, not demand, is the real driver this time around, fueled by driver shortages, tighter regulations, and unprecedented data center build-out. Bobby brings the numbers to life, showing how spot rate movement has historically preceded shifts in contract rates and why shippers should treat that signal as an early warning system rather than an afterthought. The conversation lands on what shippers can actually do about it: stress-testing budgets, segmenting freight into dedicated, contract, and dynamic buckets, and using data to answer the question every CFO eventually asks, is it me, or is it the market? Jake closes with a blunt prediction for the shipper side and a challenge to turn the last few years of smooth sailing into real, productive reinvestment.

Revenue strategy always starts with a plan, but the market does not always follow it.A major event may not pace the way it did last year, certain property types may start falling behind, owners may get nervous about open dates, and new channel updates can quickly add more complexity to an already busy season.In this episode of Revenue Reality Check, presented by Beyond, Alex & Annie are joined once again by Julie Brinkman, CEO of Beyond, for a practical conversation about what vacation rental operators should do when revenue plans do not go as expected.Julie breaks down how property managers can respond to soft pacing, underperforming inventory, owner pressure, cancellation policy changes, paid placement opportunities, and shifting demand without jumping straight into reactive pricing decisions.Julie also answers real revenue questions from operators in Nashville, Myrtle Beach, and Park City, covering what to do when a major event underperforms, how to handle inventory that is telling two different stories, and how to help owners understand the strategy when they want rates lowered too soon.We discuss:01:30 - Why revenue backup plans matter during a busy season02:24 - Airbnb cancellation policy changes and what flexibility means for operators05:38 - Direct bookings, OTA visibility, and finding the right channel mix11:24 - VRBO paid placement and why marketing needs to align with revenue16:39 - When a major event weekend does not pace as expected23:46 - When part of the portfolio is falling behind31:28 - Helping nervous owners understand the pricing strategy37:51 -Stop, Start, and Scale: building more proactive revenue plansTune in for this episode of Revenue Reality Check, brought to you by Beyond, and learn how to build better revenue backup plans for the moments when the market does not go according to plan.Connect with Julie:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jrbrinkman/ Connect with Beyond:Website: https://beyondpricing.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/beyond-pricing/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/beyondpricing/ Facebook: https://www.linkedin.com/company/beyond-pricing/ #vacationrentals #shorttermrentals #strindustrySend us a message!

Was haben der Welt-Giraffentag, der "Tag der Armbanduhr" und der "Tag des Grillhähnchens" gemeinsam? Alle fielen in den Juni und alle finden im Monatsrückblick der Intensiv-Station keine Beachtung! Wobei wir uns im Juni bei der Hitze durchaus wie Grillhähnchen gefühlt haben. Stattdessen freut sich Moderator Stephan Fritzsche mit Tausenden über das glückliche Ausscheiden aus der WM, so müssen wir neben vielem anderen auch das 1:7 gegen Frankreich nicht mehr erleben. Und die naseweisse! Turnschuh Runde des ZDF auch nicht. Puuhhhh! Noch schöner ist nur die geplante Rentenreform. Ein echtes Gesamtkunstwerk, wie Friedrich Merz sagt. Jetzt muss dieses Gesamtkunstwerk nur möglichst lange Bestand haben. Wir hätten da schon ein paar Ideen, wie das gelingen kann. Ob die „Dynamic Rente“ das Äquivalent zum „Dynamic Pricing“ werden kann? Zumindest hat es bereits Einzug in den Alltag gehalten, dieses Dynamic Pricing, jetzt sogar auch beim Bäcker nebenan. Und dann feiern wir noch den neuen Slogan Niedersachsens.: „Das ist groß“. Und warum die Scorpions drauf pfeifen, klärt sich dabei auch gleich noch. Zum Schluss suchen wir noch ein paar sichere Abschiebe -Drittstaaten für Return Hubs. Gut, dass wir da mit der neuen Abschiebhits-CD nachhelfen können .

What happens when the price of everyday life starts feeling like a luxury tax on regular people? In this episode of Girls Gone Gritty, Farley and Jennifer take on dynamic pricing, inflation, and the growing feeling that people are being priced out of experiences, homes, and even simple fun. From Knicks tickets and World Cup seats to real estate bidding wars and fundraising scams, they break down how demand, algorithms, and money are changing the way we buy, give, and live.The conversation also touches on the return of penmanship in New Jersey schools, why handwritten skills still matter, and how fine motor challenges can reveal deeper learning needs. They also warn listeners to be careful with online fundraising platforms and to check where their money is really going before donating.The episode closes with a powerful Got Grit Award for Emma Kok, a young singer with a paralyzed stomach whose voice reminds us that grit is not always loud. Sometimes, it sings.Episode Highlights:(0:00) Intro(3:21) New Jersey brings penmanship back(5:27) GoFundMe, GiveSendGo, and donation risks(9:20) Sports tickets and luxury-level pricing(11:35) What dynamic pricing really means(13:44) Real estate bidding wars and buyer pressure(17:13) The cost of living beyond your means(18:40) Lottery systems, fairness, and access(20:45) Girls Gone Gritty in-person events(21:13) Got Grit Award: Emma Kok(24:27) “Forever Young” and closing reflection(25:42) OutroSend us Fan MailSupport the showFollow us:Web: https://girlsgonegritty.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/girlsgonegritty/More ways to find us: https://linktr.ee/girlsgonegritty

Is your short-term rental truly set up to cash flow, or are you just hoping the market will do the heavy lifting for you? Most hosts look at dynamic pricing as a "set it and forget it" tool, but real revenue strategy requires getting behind the wheel of your data.In this episode, I sit down with Colorado host and revenue strategist Melissa Stewart, the founder of Rev Collective. Melissa scaled from zero to four high-performing mountain cabins in under two years by combining a value-add investment blueprint with a highly intentional, data-driven revenue management strategy.We talk about:Buying distressed mountain properties for maximum negotiating power, doing a full gut rehab to build equity, and leveraging a smart refi to roll into the next deal.Moving past simple bulleted descriptions to craft narrative-driven listing copy that makes guests feel like they are walking through a storybook.What a "healthy" MPI looks like, how to recognize if you are underpriced or overpriced, and why treating dynamic pricing tools like autopilot is a massive mistake.Designing interior and exterior spaces with a strict guest avatar in mind—from luxury robes and sound machines to curated coffee and tea stations.Shifting your mindset around money as energy, shedding old financial stories, and building wealth that creates real opportunities for other women in hospitality.Melissa pulls back the curtain on how her background in accounting and data analysis gave her a unique edge in the short-term rental market. You'll hear how she bridges the gap between high-end hospitality and cold, hard data, and how she built her company specifically to empower women hosts who love the guest experience but feel overwhelmed by numbers and tech.If you are ready to stop guessing on your pricing, master your local pacing, and inject serious intention into your operations, this conversation will completely redefine your approach to revenue. Get ready to stop relying on market luck and start commanding the rates your property deserves.HIGHLIGHTS AND KEY POINTS:[01:14] A short introduction about our guests Melissa Stewart and shared her journey from exiting a business to getting into the short-term rental industry[03:06] Melissa reflects on how a background in real estate and a desire for lifestyle-driven wealth building led her and her husband into the world of short-term rentals[05:30] How strategic investing, leveraging equity, and taking bold action helped Melissa scale from one short-term rental property to four in a relatively short time[07:36] Melissa and I dive into how taking on distressed properties, embracing renovation challenges, and viewing obstacles as opportunities helped accelerate equity growth and STR success[12:31] How embracing problems, adapting quickly, and treating short-term rental hosting as a constant problem-solving business is essential for long-term success [14:36] Melissa unpacks how creating intentional five-star guest experiences, strategic branding, and emotionally driven listings became the foundation of cash-flowing STR properties at the top of the market[21:10] Melissa highlights how overlooking listing strategy after investing heavily in a property is a common mistake, and how emotional storytelling and optimization are key to turning beautiful homes into booked STRs[24:54] How STR success depends not just on design, but on operations, pricing, and listing strategy working together to drive higher nightly rates and long-term profitability[28:08] Melissa shares how her passion for entrepreneurship, wealth building, and supporting women in business ultimately led her to launch The Rev Collective[34:16] Melissa's emphasis on active revenue management as a critical profit driver that requires strategy, oversight, and expertise beyond Pricelabs[38:15] Melissa's guidance on using listing optimization, market pacing, and key revenue metrics to make smarter pricing decisions and improve booking performance [43:23] The lightning round Golden Nuggets:“Know your obstacles. That way when they come, they're opportunities.”“We cannot leave any stone unturned when it comes to positioning ourselves for getting that booking, these guests have so many options in front of them on the OTAs.”“If you're not operating well, your reviews are not going to be what you need them to be, and you're going to fall to your competition in the marketing.”“Stick to doing things that you're good at and delegate the rest.”“If your ultimate goal is to cash flow to build wealth in this real estate, you know, gig that you've got going, if that's your goal, then revenue management should be your top priority when it comes to running your business, because that's how you make your moneyLet's Connect:Website : www.revcollective.co Instagram : https://www.instagram.com/itsmelissastewart Enjoyed the show?

Arnd Vomberg, Associate Professor of Marketing at HEC Paris, and his colleagues have spent years studying how consumers respond when prices shift without notice. Their findings, published in the International Journal of Research in Marketing, are directly relevant to every brand competing for attention in an algorithmically priced marketplace. He joins the show to discuss price fairness theory, the habituation effect, and why a guarantee that almost no one redeems can still shift consumer behavior. If dynamic pricing is already in your category, or it's coming, this conversation is where to start.

This week, Michelle, Rahul and Will explore the world of dynamic pricing, where prices go up when demand is high and come down when demand drops. It's already standard in travel and hospitality. Now, it's expanding into live events, and this year, it reached the World Cup. Supporters say it's simple economics, charging what people are willing to pay. Critics argue it risks pricing ordinary fans out of the experiences they love. So how does dynamic pricing really work? Why has it become one of the most controversial trends in live entertainment? And as organisers push to maximise revenue, are we seeing the future of events, or the point where fans push back?Hosts: Will Bain, Michelle Fleury and Rahul Tandon Producer: Rebecca Smyllie(Picture: The 2026 FIFA World Cup logo is placed over the original logo of the Hard Rock stadium in Miami, Florida, USA.

Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber dig into the strange world of playoff ticket pricing, using the Knicks and Sixers as the perfect example of how dynamic pricing can create confusion, frustration, and empty seats. The conversation breaks down why certain tickets remain available, why prices can drop closer to game day, and why fans may not realize how much risk comes with buying early. The episode also shifts into playoff urgency, fan expectations, and Mets frustration, with calls about Joel Embiid's injury, the idea of teams playing with “house money,” Pete Alonso's future, David Stearns' spending, and Sean Morash's role on the show. It is a lively mix of New York sports anxiety, ticket sticker shock, and classic caller driven debate.

Yahoo Finance (4/25/26) This week on CounterSpin: A CNN headline a few months back told us that Instacart—which used to call itself a company that delivers groceries, but now, as its CEO told investors, is the “leading technology and enablement partner for the grocery industry”—was now using AI to “Gauge Customer Price Sensitivity.” “Price sensitivity” apparently means whether or not you care that you pay more for the same can of beans as another person—or, to be more clear, whether or not you notice. While some states look into banning it, so-called algorithmic or “dynamic” pricing is being presented by the corporate press as a fait accompli, the only question remaining being how to make sure consumers understand that they have no choice. We'll hear more from investigative reporter Derek Kravitz, from Consumer Reports. https://media.blubrry.com/counterspin/content.blubrry.com/counterspin/CounterSpin260501Kravitz.mp3 Plus Janine Jackson takes a quick look back at press coverage of the White House Correspondents Dinner attack. https://media.blubrry.com/counterspin/content.blubrry.com/counterspin/CounterSpin260501Banter.mp3

If you're still charging the same price every day of the year, this episode might make you a little uncomfortable—in a good way. Joined by Chris Tilson from Goose, we dig into the idea of dynamic pricing and why sticking to flat rates could be quietly capping your revenue. There's a smarter, more flexible way to price your services that aligns with demand, and once you see it, you can't unsee it. This conversation pulls back the curtain on how other industries have been doing this for years—and why pet care is finally catching up.You'll hear how Chris breaks down the mindset shift behind dynamic pricing and how it can unlock growth without adding more dogs, more staff, or more chaos. It's not about gouging or overcomplicating things—it's about being intentional and strategic with the demand you already have. If you've ever felt maxed out during peak times but underwhelmed during slower periods, this episode will get you thinking differently about how you run your business—and what you might be leaving on the table.
