Ed Sheeran BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Ed Sheeran continues to dominate headlines this week with a flurry of major announcements, intimate interviews, and a social media buzz that underscores his enduring global star power. The biggest music news for Sheeran fans Down Under: Frontier Touring and multiple entertainment outlets report that Ed has expanded his highly anticipated Loop Tour to fifteen stadium dates across Australia and New Zealand, adding extra shows in Perth, Sydney, Brisbane, and Melbourne to meet skyrocketing demand. The tour kicks off at Auckland's Go Media Stadium on January 16, 2026, then sweeps through Wellington, Christchurch, Perth, and all the Aussie capitals, before wrapping in Adelaide. This marks Sheeran's sixth headlining tour and is timed alongside his upcoming album Play, launching September 12 according to Billboard and Economic Times, which describes the project as “an explorative, technicolour pop album” inspired by his travels and renewed sense of creative chaos. The singles Azizam, Sapphire, and Old Phone have already built excitement online and on radio.On the business side, ticket sales are set to launch with a Frontier Touring pre-sale for members on July 28 and a full public release July 29, prompting furious social media activity and hashtags climbing into trending territory. Sheeran marked the announcement with an Instagram post featuring his guitar and the caption, “Starting a brand new tour next year called the LOOP tour. New stage, new tricks, new set-up, new songs, and all the classics added in. We kick it off in Australia and New Zealand in Jan, Feb, and March 2026, which is always the best time. I can't wait to be back.”Sheeran's name also hit TV screens as he opened up with candor on Australia's 60 Minutes, discussing his songwriting genius and the increasingly extreme security measures he's been forced to take for his young family. He confirmed to viewers and follow-up interviews, including B1039, that he now keeps 24-hour protection on his Suffolk estate after kidnapping threats and break-in attempts, sharing that constant scrutiny has upended his hopes for a normal childhood for his daughters, Lyra and Jupiter. “We have a level of security that probably won't change until I pass away. That's just our life now,” he acknowledged, candidly reflecting on the difficulty of balancing fame and fatherhood.On stage, Sheeran's recent Oslo performance set social media alight. Best Entertainment and multiple YouTube accounts captured the electricity of his sold-out July 27 stadium set, with surprise duets—including a buzz-worthy collaboration with Norwegian pop star Sigrid—going instantly viral. Headlines tout another feat in his record-breaking career, with his three-year Mathematics Tour now winding down with a final Vegas show September 20, closing out an era before he launches his new creative chapter with Play and the Loop Tour.Fans and industry insiders alike are watching these moves closely, viewing the current album and touring cycle as pivotal in cementing Sheeran's status in both pop history and the broader business of live entertainment. No significant speculative stories or negative controversies have emerged in the past week; most commentary remains focused on the scale of his tour, the security around his family, and the forthcoming album's fresh direction.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOta

Justin Bieber BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Justin Bieber has been making headlines on multiple fronts over the past several days, blending music releases, business chess moves, relationship rumors, and trademark social media ambiguity. The biggest news is the July 11th release of his new album Swag, his first studio effort in four years, which critics and fans are already calling a mature, candid reflection on his turbulent last few years. In tracks like Walking Away and Daisies, Justin openly addresses the complexities of his seven-year marriage to Hailey Bieber and the personal challenges he has faced, with intimate lyrics reaffirming his commitment to their relationship. Though tabloid rumors suggested marital trouble, Justin quietly but pointedly shut them down last week, posting a series of affectionate, PDA-filled vacation photos on Instagram with Hailey, prompting Elle Magazine to declare Bieber was sending a “subtle message” about the couple's continued unity.Professionally, talk of a comeback tour is swirling fiercely online and across radio in Australia, where 6PR Perth's hosts fueled speculation about imminent tour dates following Swag's debut. While major outlets like Rolling Stone and the official promoter Frontier Touring say nothing is confirmed on the touring front, the consensus is that Bieber announcing dates would be standard post-release practice and sources close to him admit performing live is something he craves and needs. However, as of now, this remains in the realm of speculation and rumor, not official announcement.On the business side, The Economic Times reports that Bieber is working to settle a $31.5 million debt to Scooter Braun's Hybe company, relying on proceeds from wife Hailey's pending, billion-dollar sale of her Rhode beauty business. He's expected to net around $50 million from that deal, enough to clear his obligations and reportedly secure ownership of his music masters, a coup for any recording artist. The sale is anticipated to finalize within a couple of months, but Justin's spokesperson insists his finances and Hailey's business are entirely separate.Bieber's mental health has once again become public talk. Despite Justin reassuring fans that he's found his “swag” again and is on the mend, insiders tell Marca and Page Six that he still wrestles with internal struggles, heightened by fame's relentless pressure. Support appears to come from his wife, a tight inner circle, and his faith. Social media watchdogs are on high alert after a cryptic Instagram post referencing DMX's “clean living,” which TMZ interpreted as hinting at ongoing substance use, though Bieber's representatives have consistently denied rumors of hard drug use.In his quieter but significant business moves, Bieber launched a fashion label called Skylrk, his second solo apparel project after Drew House, as confirmed by Living Life Fearless. And in Wall Street news, Bloomberg reports that royalties from Bieber's catalog—now partly managed by Recognition Music Group—are being packaged in a $372 million bond issuance that will include publishing rights from major pop stars.With Swag's release, potential blockbuster tours, marital resilience, and this swirl of headlines about money, health, and art, Justin Bieber remains as much a pop culture fixture as ever, constantly evolving under the unblinking public gaze.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOta

Justin Bieber BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Justin Bieber has returned to the spotlight with a slate of major headlines, new music, business news, and, as ever, persistent speculation about his private life. Just last week, Bieber released his seventh studio album, "Swag," his first full-length record in over four years, which NPR hailed as a notable comeback that veers toward an alternative rock sound and features introspective lyrics about marriage and mental health. The album dropped without much conventional promotion, causing fans and critics alike to revisit Bieber's ever-evolving relationship with the spotlight and his personal demons. "Swag" comes packaged not just with fresh songs but with subtle messages about his life, including nods to ongoing marital challenges with his wife, Hailey Bieber – all while silencing, for now, rumors of a split. Elle reports that Bieber used recent Instagram posts, including a photo of him kissing Hailey, to push back on breakup speculation, while tracks like "Walking Away" and "Daisies" tackle their ups and downs with uncharacteristic candor.Behind the confident public façade, however, reports from The Blast and Page Six suggest Bieber continues to battle mood swings and pressure from both fame and expectations at home, with insiders describing deeper struggles despite his seemingly happy family life. Having welcomed their son Jack Blues less than a year ago, the couple is now navigating not just new parenthood but Bieber's ongoing search for stability.Financially, Bieber is also making headlines. TMZ and Economic Times confirm that he owes $31.5 million in settled debt to Scooter Braun's Hybe — debt he cannot clear until his wife Hailey's $1 billion Rhode beauty company sale officially closes, a deal poised to net Bieber $50 million as a significant investor. According to sources, this wait has delayed his ability to pay off the debt, despite pocketing $200 million from his earlier music catalog sale; substantial chunks of that sum have already been eaten up by taxes and expenses, showcasing rare vulnerability for a superstar previously thought to be endlessly flush.Outside music, Bieber's new fashion venture, SKYLRK, has reignited the kind of social media chatter that has followed him since his teens. NSS Magazine describes the launch of SKYLRK as a calculated, controversy-infused rebranding—more playful than past efforts, yet very much blending the provocative with the personal. On Instagram, Bieber has been sharing family photos, behind-the-scenes content, and candid moments, keeping the online narrative alive while stirring curiosity about which version of himself he will present next.Through it all, while speculation about his health, marriage, and fortune never really ceases, one thing is clear: Justin Bieber's next chapter is being written in real time, with all its complications and comeback moments on full display.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOta

In the aftermath of the U.S. bombing of Iranian nuclear facilities, we welcome back Theodore Postol, Professor of Science, Technology and National Security Policy Emeritus at MIT to give his expert technical assessment on where that assault leaves the Iranian nuclear program. Then, Trita Parsi, executive vice president of the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft, gives us his analysis of the political side of the issue.Theodore Postol is Professor of Science, Technology and National Security Policy Emeritus in the Program in Science, Technology, and Society at MIT. His expertise is in nuclear weapon systems, including submarine warfare, applications of nuclear weapons, ballistic missile defense, and ballistic missiles more generally.No one at that point after the attack could have known whether or not there was success of any kind, even if there was success. And I doubt there was any success.Theodore PostolThe Israelis have done everything in their power to create an internal argument among the political leadership in Iran to proceed to build a nuclear weapon so that this kind of thing won't happen again. So the Israeli grand strategy, if you want to call it that, shows no intelligence or thought of any kind.Theodore PostolTrita Parsi is the executive vice president of the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft, and the co-founder and former President of the National Iranian American Council. He is an expert on US-Iranian relations, Iranian foreign policy, and the geopolitics of the Middle East. He has authored three books on US foreign policy in the Middle East, with a particular focus on Iran and Israel— Treacherous Alliance: The Secret Dealings of Iran, Israel and the United States, A Single Roll of the Dice – Obama's Diplomacy with Iran, and Losing an Enemy: Obama, Iran and the Triumph of Diplomacy.Israel is not enhancing American power in the Middle East. Israel is consuming it.Trita Parsi, Executive VP of the Quincy Institute for Responsible StatecraftIf the (Iranian regime) were to collapse it would most likely be because there would be an internal coup. And the next regime would be coming from the very same regime. It would just be a much more aggressive and hardline.Trita Parsi20 Worst Recent Trump Headlines1.

Now he's making it easier to fire federal workers (Andrea Hsu, NPR, 6/23/25)News 6/27/251. After a brutal initial barrage by the United States, followed by tit-for-tat exchanges between Israel and Iran, the U.S. is seeking to broker a ceasefire between the two states. On Truth Social, Trump posted “ISRAEL is not going to attack Iran. All planes will turn around and head home, while doing a friendly ‘Plane Wave' to Iran. Nobody will be hurt, the Ceasefire is in effect!” Just hours after this however, Israel did in fact bomb targets in Tehran, per Reuters. Israel also claims to have intercepted missiles fired from Iran following the ceasefire agreement. In the wake of the initial attacks, journalist Séamus Malekafzali reported that the “Iranian communist party Tudeh and the Communist Party of Israel [Hadash] release[d] a joint statement condemning the Israeli war on Iran, saying Israel's intent is to make the region ‘bow down to [US] imperialism' and that the only solution is full nuclear disarmament in the Middle East.” Israel's nuclear capabilities are an open secret in Washington, with estimates that the country possess between 90 and 400 nuclear warheads.2. In Congress, Senator Tim Kaine of Virginia has put forth a War Powers resolution in an attempt to check Trump's unilateral escalation in Iran. According to Newsweek, he expects to get Republican votes in the Senate. In the House, the effort is led by Reps. Ro Khanna and maverick Republican Thomas Massie, whom Trump has become so enraged with that he recently launched a PAC to oust him from his seat, per Axios. Meanwhile, AOC issued a statement reading, “The President's disastrous decision to bomb Iran without authorization is a grave violation of the Constitution and Congressional War Powers. He has impulsively risked launching a war that may ensnare us for generations. It is absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment.” Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi, asked about AOC's impeachment comments, replied “No, no, that's a big threshold to cross,” per David Weigel.3. The escalation in Iran has exposed fissures in Trump's orbit. PBS reports major MAGA figures like Steve Bannon, Tucker Carlson and Marjorie Taylor-Greene are openly opposed, while Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard has reportedly drawn Trump's ire for a string of comments out of step with the administration's messaging, starting with a video earlier this month in which she accused “political elites and warmongers [of] carelessly fomenting fear and tension between nuclear powers,” per the Independent. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has been iced out completely, according to the Washington Post.4. In more news concerning the administration, the Project on Government Oversight (POGO) has published a new report, finding that “Stephen Miller…Trump's powerful deputy chief of staff and homeland security advisor…has a personal financial stake…[of] up to a quarter million dollars of stock in Palantir.” POGO describes Palantir, the shadowy tech company founded by rightwing tech oligarch Peter Thiel, as “woven into the operations of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and used by other federal agencies such as the Pentagon.” POGO and other experts see this as a glaring potential conflict of interest. In an almost darkly comedic twist, “Democratic lawmakers have recently sought information from Palantir, [but] they are in the minority and cannot compel the company to produce records. A person who could is Representative James Comer (R-KY), the chairman of the [House] oversight committee...However, Comer bought…Palantir stock the day after Trump's inauguration…his only stock trade that day.” Palantir is the second-best-performing S&P 500 stock in 2025, with shares up 74% year-to-date, per Business Insider.5. In a rare case of corruption actually being prosecuted, the New York Times reports former New Jersey Senator Bob Menendez reported for his eleven-year prison sentence on June 17th. “After a nine-week trial in Manhattan, Mr. Menendez…became the only U.S. senator ever to be convicted of acting as an agent of a foreign government,” after taking part in a “yearslong bribery conspiracy” that included payoffs in the form of “kilo bars of gold, a Mercedes-Benz convertible and more than $480,000 in cash.” Menendez is now incarcerated at the Federal Correctional Institution, Schuylkill, a medium-security federal prison in Minersville, Pennsylvania. He has been assigned the prisoner number 67277-050.6. In other news, POLITICO reports, “FICO plans to launch a suite of credit scores later this year that incorporate [Buy Now Pay Later or BNPL] data, providing lenders a window into…consumers' repayment behavior on these increasingly popular installment loans.” As BNPL data has not been included in credit reporting before, this has become known as “phantom debt…a gigantic black box…[and] largely unregulated.” This story notes that the Trump administration CFPB has “dropped planned enforcement of a Biden administration rule that would have treated BNPL providers like credit card companies,” subjecting this industry to daylight and financial regulation. The administration's abandonment of this rule mirrors their declassification of cryptocurrency as securities in order to skirt SEC oversight. Many questions remain over how exactly BNPL data will factor into consumers' credit scores, but many are bracing for this data to reveal a growing chasm of consumer debt underpinning the already shaky economic picture.7. Meanwhile Mahmoud Khalil, the Columbia University student and activist abducted by ICE on the eve of his son's birth – despite being a legal permanent resident – has finally been freed. Khalil was held in federal immigration detention in Louisiana for 104 days, per AP. Following his release, Khalil said “Justice prevailed, but it's very long overdue.” Khalil's legal battle will continue. Khalil stated in an interview with NPR, “My release is just the first step. The legal fight is still very, very long. The administration appealed the decision about my release, but we will prove our case – that what happened…was textbook retaliation against the First Amendment, that I was targeted because of speech the government did not like, and that there was nothing wrong with the speech I was engaged in. I want to make sure that everyone who contributed to my arrest will be held accountable.”8. Backlash to Trump's immigration policies is not confined to the political and legal realms either. Newsweek reports that the new Pope, Leo XIV, has “called for priests, deacons and parish leaders to accompany migrants to court and stand in solidarity with them.” This is an encouraging sign for those who hoped Leo would follow in the footsteps of Pope Francis. It also puts the new Pope at odds with more conservative American Catholics, such as Vice-President JD Vance who converted in adulthood. In May, Leo's brother John Prevost told New York Times that the new Pope, “has great, great desire to help the downtrodden and the disenfranchised, the people who are ignored.”9. In another immigration flashpoint, “A gang of masked federal agents swarmed, manhandled, and detained New York City Comptroller Brad Lander…as he sought to assist a defendant out of immigration court,” according to the American Prospect. The Prospect notes this arrest is “the latest instance of political violence against opposition party members, which has included the arrests of Newark Mayor Ras Baraka and New Jersey Rep. LaMonica McIver…the arrest of Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Hannah Dugan…and the brief detention of Sen. Alex Padilla.” Lander was released several hours after he was detained, when New York Governor Kathy Hochul showed up in person to demand his release. She called his arrest “b******t.” Later, in an interview with Joe Gallina, Lander said, “Courts tell undocumented immigrants their cases are ‘dismissed.' But what they really dismiss… is their asylum status. Then ICE grabs them. No lawyer. No warning.”10. Finally, 33-year-old democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani trounced disgraced former Governor Andrew Cuomo in the New York City Democratic mayoral primary on Tuesday, winning by a completely unforeseen seven-point landslide. Polls up to election day showed Cuomo winning, some by as much as 24 points. Mamdani, a state legislator since 2021, ran on a platform of affordability, including making city buses free, establishing city-owned grocery stores and freezing the rent for all stabilized tenants. This platform – paired with cogent messaging, an extraordinary grassroots organizing campaign and shrewd alliances with other progressive candidates like Brad Lander – won the day for Zohran. However, an air of uncertainty about November remains. Incumbent Mayor Eric Adams still plans to run for reelection as an independent and Cuomo hasn't ruled out doing the same, per the Hill. While many who endorsed or donated to Cuomo in the primary – some now openly admitting they merely did so out of fear of reprisal – have switched their allegiance to Mamdani, some are maintaining a hostile posture towards the presumptive Democratic nominee. There is no doubt this story will proceed in dramatic fashion.This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard.

Summary Dr. Elisa Chiang discussed strategies for creating predictability in unpredictable economic times, emphasizing that the fundamentals of the economy are generally sound, with current uncertainty stemming from external factors. She highlighted the importance of understanding economic interrelations and the potential impact of challenging international relationships. Dr. Chiang suggested that individuals and businesses should evaluate their dependencies and explore ways to become more self-reliant. For physicians, this includes recognizing the value of their skills and exploring options beyond traditional employment, such as private practice or becoming invaluable within their current roles. She also emphasized the importance of diversifying income streams and managing personal finances to reduce reliance on a single paycheck. The conversation also covered strategies for physicians to increase their income, such as specializing in high-value procedures, leveraging support staff, and improving efficiency. Dr. Chiang advised questioning fixed mindsets, challenging existing beliefs, and experimenting with new approaches to adapt to unpredictable times. She also discussed tax planning, investment strategies, and the importance of maintaining a long-term perspective when dealing with market volatility. For those nearing retirement, she recommended assessing risk tolerance, diversifying portfolios, and building a cash cushion. Dr. Chiang offers one-on-one coaching to help individuals navigate their financial situations and achieve their financial goals. Her podcast, 'Grow Your Wealthy Mindset,' provides financial literacy in bite-sized pieces, helping listeners build the knowledge and mindset needed to create financial stability. Chapters Introduction to Predictability in Unpredictable Times Elisa Chiang was invited to discuss creating predictability in unpredictable economic times. The discussion is framed as non-political, focusing on the factual unpredictability of the world. The goal is to provide strategies for individuals to make their financial situations more predictable. Economic Fundamentals and Global Interdependence Chiang stated that the fundamentals of the economy are still good, unlike the issues in 2008 with banking regulation. The current uncertainty is attributed to the actions and statements of certain individuals. The discussion highlights the importance of understanding the complexities of economics and global interrelations. Anytime decisions are made from an independent place, you start to realize we're actually not independent at all. Challenging Independence and Embracing Interdependence Chiang suggests challenging the idea of complete independence and recognizing interdependence on others. Asking questions about dependencies and self-reliance is valuable, but actions must be carefully considered. Many people feel dependent on their paycheck, but physicians have options due to the physician shortage. Separating the ability to produce income from the current job can create stability. Creating Independence and Managing Control The discussion covers the mentality behind creating a private practice and the desire for independence. It's noted that even in private practice, there is still interdependence on systems and people. The focus should be on how to become independent and self-determining results in situations where you don't have control over all of these things. It's important to understand what you can and can't control. Strategies for Exerting Independence Chiang suggests becoming an entrepreneur within your job to make yourself invaluable. This involves attracting patients directly and highlighting your value to the practice or institution. Employers care about generating income, so making yourself invaluable in this area is crucial. Taking care of personal finances and creating multiple income streams reduces reliance on a single paycheck. Translating Value into Income The inherent value of experience, training, and knowledge is highlighted. Physicians translate this value into income through their actions. The trap of trading time for money limits income potential unless value is translated into different income streams. The discussion explores ways physicians can generate income outside the classic RVU model. Increasing Income within the Physician Realm Specializing in specific procedures or surgeries can elevate income. Leveraging other people, such as nurse practitioners, can double clinic output. Hiring scribes can increase productivity and collections. Physicians should work at the top of their income level, delegating tasks to others. Mindset Shifts for Unpredictable Times Adopting a growth mindset can help individuals respond more effectively in unpredictable times. Questioning current beliefs and challenging the status quo is important. Comparing oneself to others who are thriving can provide insights and motivation. Willingness to spend money to make money and accepting failure are key to success. Helping Individuals Deal with Change Questioning the truth of current situations and exploring potential changes is crucial. Experimenting with small changes and learning from others can lead to improvements. Advocating for necessary resources, such as dedicated scrub techs, can increase efficiency. Believing in the potential for change and presenting a clear case for it is essential. Financial Viability in Private Practice A simple formula for private practice success is income minus expenses minus tax burden. All three factors can be influenced in different ways. Leveraging people, doing more cases, and optimizing income streams are ways to increase income. Tax burden can be managed through various strategies. Tax Planning and Side Businesses Every time is unpredictable, so framing the mindset accordingly is important. The more we think like, yeah, the world is doing whatever it's worlding. The world is doing whatever it's doing. We can make our own predictivity, then we don't have to keep thinking like, oh, it's unpredictable, and we have no way to affect it. It's just always unpredictable. As a W-2 employee, there are limited options for tax reduction. Having a side business can provide opportunities to write off personal expenses. Side hustles should align with passions and translate into value and money. Time Management and Productivity Finding something else that you need to find you having to find more time in order to do something helps you structure your time so that you are most efficient with your time. Limited time resources require careful management. Calendaring and time-blocking can improve efficiency. Having a list of tasks that can be done in 10-15 minute intervals can boost productivity. Managing Retirement Funds If retirement is 10 years or more away, continue with the financial plan and consider contributing more. Maximize retirement accounts and explore other savings options. Buying stocks when they are on sale can be a great strategy. Establish a risk tolerance and adjust investment strategies accordingly. Investment Strategies and Risk Tolerance The stock market tends to go up over time, especially with more people investing. Investing during downturns can lead to better outcomes. Even in retirement, there is still a long investing career ahead. Avoid panic selling and maintain a long-term perspective. Retirement Planning and Withdrawal Rates Assess investment strategies and consider shifting to a more conservative portfolio if nearing retirement. Develop a cash cushion to avoid selling stocks during the first few years of retirement. Understand what money is for and focus on enjoyment and security. Consider a Monte Cristo analysis to assess the chances of running out of money. Dr. Chang's Coaching and Podcast Chiang offers one-on-one coaching to help individuals reach their financial goals.

Markowski warns of economic fallout, citing Rand Paul and Ron Johnson's concerns, and stresses the unsustainability of high tariffs, comparing them to risky investments like Long-Term Capital Management. He advocates for a cautious, “scalpel” approach to avoid ruin, emphasizing the US's democratic vulnerabilities compared to China's authoritarian control. www.watchdogonwallstreet.com

There is so much uncertainty in our economy right now. With tariffs and cuts and mass layoffs, many people feel nervous about money. KSL Newsradio's Amanda Dickson asked her guests how they handle financial challenges on A Woman's View. Her guests this week are Dr. Susan Madsen, founder/director of the Utah Women and Leadership Project and the Karen Haight Huntsman endowed professor of leadership in the Huntsman School of Business at Utah State University and Sally Dietlein, Executive Producer at Hale Center Theater. 

Joining Mario Nigro for this episode is Wandrille Lefèvre of EC2, a Québec-based consulting firm that provides specialized M&A and corporate finance advice to midmarket companies. According to Wandrille, the Québec market, like other Canadian markets, is driven by factors like baby boomer retirements and a need for technology investment. The range of buyers in the province includes a similar mix of private equity and strategics as is found elsewhere. Even in the uncertain tariff environment, EC2 is seeing steady interest from potential sellers, with the caveat that those sellers are deliberating more about how to proceed, while buyers are looking more intently at the tariff exposure of potential acquisitions.

If you want an ad-free experience, you can subscribe below underneath the show description.The Ides of March Blood Moon, which was accompanied by a Falcon 9 rocket launch, is a powerful omen. Blood Moons are symbolic of birth and death and the Ides of March remind us of Julius Caesar's assassination - the fall of a king - and his replacement by Octavian-August-Caesar who ushered in Pax Roman, or the Golden Age. The Falcon 9 rocket, surprisingly, has powerful connections to Julius as well: as a leader, he was compared by historians to the falcon, and as a strong pagan leader is considered one of the 9 worthies. The company behind the rocket is Musk's Space X and the organization that launched it is the same NASA that used the 2024 solar eclipse to perform an Egyptian ritual that they named after the sun devourer Apep. In the news we have seen Musk's other company, Tesla, undergo acts of vandalism and threats by extremists on the political left, thought this is a minority. The majority still keep their electric cars. On the other side, now the political right is buying these cars to support Musk, who wants to use AI to run the government. This comes amidst exposure that, according to the Economic Times, “All available Biden-signed documents were checked by The Oversight Project, which revealed that every signature, except the withdrawal from the 2024 presidential candidacy, was produced by autopen technology.” In other words, the exposure of machines doing all the work will lead to more machines doing more of the work - including using AI for military decisions, visa revocation, firings, and healthcare. Technocracy is the great reset - electric cars, regional unions, a cashless society, AI driven everything -, the great replacement of the republic which, unlike Rome, will be usurped not by the necessary evil of Augustus, but by programmed emperors that operate under the fallacy of computer-perfection. And perhaps that empire will expand, as Elon Musk prepares to send a starship to Mars by 2026, carrying the Optimus Robot, programmed with human knowledge from X. -FREE ARCHIVE (w. ads)SUBSCRIPTION ARCHIVEX / TWITTER FACEBOOKMAIN WEBSITECashApp: $rdgable EMAIL: rdgable@yahoo.com / TSTRadio@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/tst-radio--5328407/support.

In a world where skills gaps are widening and job demands are evolving at unprecedented rates, understanding how to gain a "skills advantage" is critical for organizations to stay competitive. In this episode, Anish Lalchandani, author of The Skills Advantage, delves into his insights on bridging skills gaps, building resilient teams, and preparing organizations for the future. Anish walks us through his approach, discussing how the right skills strategy can shift a team from good to exceptional and position L&D as a driver of business transformation. Whether you're a leader looking to upskill your team or an L&D professional aiming to create a sustainable skills strategy, this conversation is packed with actionable insights. KEY TAKEAWAYS The established approach to L&D is no longer enough. L&D needs to go beyond business alignment and take the lead in equipping our businesses to thrive in the future. You don´t have the wrong people, they have the wrong skills. Employees need to be convinced that upskilling benefits them and the business. A huge proportion of executive transitions fail, and we need to address this. What is going on in the market and industry helps you identify future skill needs. Use technology to help with your data analysis and become more agile. When you demonstrate impact, you get permission to do more. BEST MOMENTS “The established approach to L&D is no longer enough.” “Reskilling is a long-term game, start now.” “We need to hold ourselves accountable to actual upskilling and not just providing learning.” “You don´t have the wrong people, they have the wrong skills.” “The risk of relying on firing and hiring is extraordinary.” Anish Lalchandani Bio Anish Lalchandani is the author of the book ‘The Skills Advantage: A Human-Centered, Sustainable and Scalable Approach to Reskilling’. Having held leadership roles at leading firms like A.P. Moller Maersk (current), General Electric, Standard Chartered Bank and other organizations, he has developed extensive expertise in Talent, OD, Leadership and HR Strategy. In addition to being a Chartered Fellow of the CIPD, he is also a certified professional coach and mentor to start-up founders. Several publications, including Economic Times, Thinkers360, LeadersHum and HRD, rate him as one of the top influencers in HR and the Future of Work.

In the June quarter of 2024, Honasa Consumer, the maker of Mamaearth, decided to launch this new project called Project Neev. The idea was to bring about a foundational change in the way the company operates, especially distribution.For context, Mamaearth hit the bourses in October last year when everyone else who had IPO plans had decided to hold them off for a bit. But Varun Alagh, the CEO and co-founder of Mamaearth, was of the firm opinion that the timing was perfectly ripe.Things seemed to be going alright until this month when Honasa Consumer reported its first loss ever since it went public. Everything points to the massive change in the company's distribution strategy. It decided to dump all its super-stockists or distributors for an in-house sales team that would take care of it. Basically, all the middlemen were kicked out.The company estimated a one-time hit of Rs 50 crore in inventory losses because of this shift. But Alagh himself admitted in an interview  with The Economic Times that the real damage was closer to Rs 70 crore. And former distributors allege that the real picture is much worse. They estimate that there are stocks worth Rs 300 crores lying unsold and unclaimed.In today's episode, we'll delve deeper into what this change in distribution strategy has led to for Mamaearth and its former stockists. Daybreak is now on WhatsApp at +918971108379.

So I thought that today we would focus on the world of puzzles.  As kids, young and old, we are fascinated and curious about putting together random pieces of cardboard to make a picture, or take numbers or scenes or words and fit them together to make something whole, craving that satisfaction to find the answer and all the frustrations and exhilarations that come with it! Whether you're doing sudoku or playing a game or proving online that we're human and not a robot, puzzles keep our minds focused on solving problems.  For many across the world, crossword puzzles are part of a daily routine, trying to find different ways to use and frame words from clues that playfully speak to everyday culture, trivia, knowledge, and even local or global nuances.  So it was really fun to catch up with crossword puzzle constructor, Mangesh Ghogre, first India-based crossword constructor for the Los Angeles Times in 2010 and The New York Times in 2013.  Mangesh is an investment banker and a writer, and has had a true passion as a crossword puzzle solver and constructor since his college days.  His expertise has developed over decades and his work and writing have been featured in The New Yorker, The Times of India, and The Economic Times, among others. Mangesh is currently the editor and constructor for the Mini Crossword in The Forbes India magazine. Some of his marquee NYT crosswords include a Fourth of July-themed crossword in 2017, a Mahatma Gandhi-themed crossword in 2019 to celebrate Gandhi's 150th birth anniversary and Taj Mahal-themed crossword in 2023 to celebrate Indian independence day.  I was able to chat with him this summer, and in true puzzle solving fashion, we started out with the basics…
