Tom Hawley joins James Smith to expose the deliberate machinery behind a cost-of-living crisis most people don't even know is happening to them. The co-founder of Azura Financial, one of Australia's top 10 brokerages and a three-time Residential Broker of the Year, Hawley argues that inflation isn't a natural force but a policy choice, a quiet tax on your purchasing power that hits lower and middle-income earners hardest precisely because they can't see it.

Employment attorney Ryan Stygar joins Nicole to hand us the playbook our employers hope they never find. He breaks down what "at-will employment" actually means and the exact moves to make the moment you get that dreaded out-of-nowhere email from HR. He also reveals everything that's negotiable in a severance package: the cash amount, COBRA coverage, equity vesting schedules, and non-disparagement clauses, and shares how he turned a $6,000 severance offer into over $60,000 for one client. Then Nicole and Ryan role-play a firing from both sides of the table — so you know exactly what to say and what never to say. They dig into the issues that disproportionately affect women at work: pregnancy discrimination (the number one form Ryan sees in his practice), his controversial-but-legally-sound advice to disclose your pregnancy early, what rights you have if you miscarry, and how return-to-office mandates are quietly being weaponized as stealth layoffs.  Plus: AI keystroke monitoring, non-competes in the current legal landscape, and the interview questions that are totally illegal — that you're probably being asked right now.

Paul Osterman, MIT labor economist and author of Disposable Workers: The Transformation of Employment , tells Rob Tercek about the fastest-growing category of the US workforce in the age of artificial intelligence. According to Osterman, a rising number of employers prefer to hire three categories of “disposable workers” with no long-term stake in the company.  Today, such workers comprise more than 35% of the entire US workforce. The employers get the benefit of flexibility, and they push the risk and uncertainty onto the workforce. This interview covers the social, political, and organization consequences of the shift. And it anticipates how the deployment of AI will intensify the trend. 

Hundreds of people attended an open house hosted by Google Wednesday in Hermantown, just outside Duluth. The company wants to spend up to $2 billion to build a large data center there. The proposal has faced strong opposition from residents, and at least two lawsuits have been filed to block it. The project still needs additional city and state approvals.The Minneapolis City Council voted Thursday to approve a pair of ordinance changes that would allow the city to legalize bathhouses. Adult bathhouses were historically frequented by gay men in the 1970s and '80s. They were banned in Minneapolis in 1988 during the AIDS epidemic. The changes allow the city to start the process toward permitting bathhouses and other sex venues in the future.A state lawmaker will be arraigned Friday on DWI charges stemming from a traffic stop earlier this year. State Rep. Elliott Engen of White Bear Lake was pulled over in March for speeding. According to the criminal complaint, police say Engen had a headlight out, expired registration and a blood alcohol concentration of .13. Engen had been running for state auditor, but ended his campaign.Minnesota exports fell eight percent in the first quarter compared to the same period in 2025. The Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development says a decline in sales of mineral fuel and oil to Canada is driving the loss, along with uncertainty tied to federal actions. Excluding mineral fuel and oil exports to Canada, Minnesota exports grew slightly from a year ago.Parts of Minnesota could see triple-digit highs early next week, as a potentially dangerous heat wave moves into the region. MPR meteorologist Sven Sundgaard says temperatures and humidity will start climbing this weekend. Monday could bring highs in the upper 90s, with heat indices above 105. The heat could linger through next week, with highs near 90 continuing into the Fourth of July weekend.

Margo Walsh is an entrepreneur on a mission to prove that second chances are good for business. As founder of MaineWorks — a certified B-Corp — she has built a model that connects people with substance use disorder and/or criminal records to meaningful employment in the construction sector, tackling two of society's most persistent challenges at once.  MaineWorks doesn't just find jobs for people — it sets them up to succeed. Through the non-profit she co-founded with her sister, Margo ensures that returning workers have what they need to show up and thrive: like proper clothing, boots, transportation, and the basic building blocks of a fresh start.  What began in Maine has grown into a regional movement, expanding across New England and serving as a replicable blueprint for companies and communities across the country. Margo's work has earned widespread recognition and multiple awards — and in this episode, she shares what it was like to attend a State of the Union address as a senator's guest, a testament to the national impact of her vision.  This is a story about optimism in action — and what becomes possible when we invest in people others have written off.  Chapters: 00:00 Employing the Unemployable 02:13 Maineworks: A Staffing Agency with a Mission 05:42 Recruitment and Retention Challenges 09:10 Margo's Passion and Mission 13:42 United Recovery Fund: Addressing Basic Needs 17:10 Expansion and Industry Focus  20:01 Supporting New Americans 23:26 Navigating Systems and Maximizing Value 27:00 Engaging Business for Social Impact 31:26 The Value of B Corp Status 34:14 State of the Union and Future Aspirations 39:58 Optimism and Call to Action

The episode of the Flavors Unknown podcast explores the tension between the old image of Las Vegas — buffets, the Strip, spectacle, celebrity restaurants, and viral dining — and the newer reality of a city shaped by local chefs, immigrant influences, neighborhood energy, off-Strip creativity, cultural sensitivity, collaboration, and craft. The guests are: Chef Dylan Jobsz from Esther’s Kitchen Chef Sarah Thompson from Casa Playa at Wynn Chef Jackson Stamper from Ada’s Food and Wine Baker Chef Kimmie McIntosh from Milkfish at Durango Social Club Bartender Joseph Arakawa from Anima by EDO The conversation repeatedly points to this shift: Las Vegas has moved beyond the buffet stereotype into a more diverse culinary community, with Chinatown and the Arts District emerging as creative hubs. The chefs share their sources of inspiration, including travel and cultural influences, and discuss the importance of seasonal ingredients. The conversation delves into the authenticity of cooking in everyday settings, the pressure of social media virality, and the importance of consistency in content creation. Ultimately, the discussion highlights the collaborative nature of cooking and the importance of nurturing talent within the culinary industry. What you’ll learn from the Panel Discussion Listeners will walk away seeing that: Las Vegas is not only the Strip; its food culture is increasingly shaped by neighborhoods, local communities, and independent creative voices.The city's culinary strength comes from its mix of cultures, migration stories, chef collaboration, and constant reinvention.Authenticity in food and drinks is not about rigid tradition; it is about respect, understanding, flavor, and the ability to translate heritage for today's guests.Social media matters, but the best culinary work is not built only for virality. The episode emphasizes that authenticity, relatability, and brand integrity matter more than chasing manufactured viral moments.Creativity in restaurants is not just the chef's individual genius; it depends on teams, feedback, R&D, mentorship, trust, and systems.

Confidence in the employment market is at an all-time low, with the Iran war still rippling through the economy. A Westpac-McDermott Miller survey for the June quarter reveals confidence fell for public and private sector employees. A net 60 percent of respondents believe it's hard to find a job, up from 46 percent last quarter. Westpac senior economist Michael Gordon says employment confidence has been weak over the past five years, and this data represents another step backwards.

Episode 252 of the Transition Drill Podcast, traumatic brain injury recovery, veteran transition, and rebuilding identity for veterans, first responders, and anyone navigating life after service, injury, or high-performance careers. You'll hear Chrisanne Gordon on the hidden cost of brain injury, the fight to be believed, and what it takes to turn personal adversity into a mission that changes lives.Dr. Chrisanne Gordon didn't arrive in the veteran community through military service. She arrived through medicine, personal hardship, and a realization she couldn't ignore. Chrisanne followed generations of family medicine into becoming a physician. She worked emergency medicine, then later moved into rehabilitation medicine, driven by a simple question she couldn't let go of: what happens to patients after they leave the ER?That question became personal after suffering a traumatic brain injury herself. As a physician suddenly becoming the patient, she experienced something she'd spent a career treating but had never fully understood. Cognitive changes, loss of speech, identity disruption, depression, and the realization that medicine didn't yet have all the answers changed how she viewed recovery and the people living through it.Then she read reports suggesting returning veterans with traumatic brain injuries were being dismissed, misunderstood, or categorized incorrectly. What started as concern turned into action. Chrisanne volunteered at the VA in Ohio expecting to help however she could. Instead, she found herself evaluating veterans returning from Iraq and Afghanistan and witnessing firsthand how difficult recovery, diagnosis, and transition could become when invisible injuries met institutional systems. Her work eventually challenged accepted practices and redirected her professional life entirely. From there came advocacy, research initiatives, congressional outreach, documentary filmmaking, and eventually the creation of a nonprofit focused on supporting veterans living with traumatic brain injury. Along the way she helped elevate awareness, pushed for recognition of TBI as a defining wound of modern conflict, and continued listening directly to veterans rather than speaking for them.Today, Chrisanne's mission extends through speaking, education, books including Guarding Our Guardians: Guaranteeing America's Veterans a Future from Deployment to Employment, and ongoing support for veterans and their families.CONNECT WITH THE PODCAST:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/paulpantani/WEBSITE: https://www.transitiondrillpodcast.comLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/paulpantani/SIGN-UP FOR THE NEWSLETTER:https://transitiondrillpodcast.com/home#aboutQUESTIONS OR COMMENTS:paul@transitiondrillpodcast.comSPONSORS:GRND Collective: Premium, veteran-owned sportswear built for those who show up, outwork the excuses, and give 100%.

Dr. Agronin appeared before the House Subcommittee on Health, Employment, Labor, and Pensions to highlight what he described as the union's adoption of positions aligned with Hamas and Hezbollah supporters, amid broader concerns about antisemitism infiltrating healthcare — a field many expected to remain free of political and religious conflict. CIR, which represents more than 37,000 physicians and is affiliated with the Service Employees International Union (SEIU), has passed resolutions declaring Israel guilty of “apartheid” and “genocide,” endorsing the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement, and directing the union to oppose candidates who support legislation criminalizing BDS. The resolutions also reject equating antisemitism with anti-Zionism and claim that concerns over rising antisemitism are being exploited to stifle anti-Zionist organizing, according to Agronin's testimony. The union has also expressed support for figures associated with Hamas and Hezbollah, including Mahmood Khlail, a former Columbia University student targeted for deportation by the Trump administration. In his interview with Skorski, Agronin recounted noticing troubling signs about the union approximately a year ago when his hospital voted to join CIR. He described being disturbed by the organization's focus on anti-Israel positions that have nothing to do with patient care or medicine. When asked what motivated him to testify, Agronin told Skorski: “I didn't want any of this… but someone had to stand up and say something.” Agronin, a cardiology fellow at Temple University Hospital in Philadelphia, emphasized two primary concerns for Jewish doctors: being forced to pay dues to a union they did not choose that targets them and Israeli colleagues, and the politicization of medicine. He argued that CIR's resolutions align it with activists who disrupted college campuses following the Hamas-led Oct. 7, 2023, massacre in Israel. In the interview, Agronin noted that he first became aware of rising antisemitism on college campuses about 10 years ago and was surprised to see it extend into healthcare. He connected with the American Jewish Medical Association and the National Right to Work Legal Defense Fund for support before his congressional testimony. The testimony and interview come as reports of antisemitism in medical settings — including calls to exclude Israeli doctors and hostile environments for Jewish patients and providers — have increased since Oct. 7 -VIN News Watch the interview on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ni9pERXNv2Q Alan Skorski Reports 14JUNE2026 - PODCAST

Canada's real estate market may finally be approaching a turning point—but not in the way many expected. After four years of falling sales, declining prices, stalled development, and investor retreat, subtle signs of stabilization are beginning to emerge. Yet beneath the surface, the market remains deeply divided between sectors showing resilience and others still under immense pressure. The focus now turns to the forces quietly reshaping housing in Vancouver and across Canada—and what they reveal about the next phase of the cycle.One of the most fascinating developments is where capital is now flowing. For years, office towers symbolized the strength of downtown business districts. But Vancouver's changing economic landscape is rewriting that narrative. A 13-storey office building in the heart of downtown is being converted into a boutique hotel, signaling a major shift in investor priorities. While other cities have transformed struggling office space into residential housing, Vancouver's comparatively resilient office market is taking a different route. With tourism surging, hotel occupancy rates leading the nation, and global events on the horizon, developers are increasingly betting on hospitality over traditional office demand. It is a subtle but meaningful signal of where confidence in Vancouver's long-term economy still exists.At the same time, the Bank of Canada finds itself balancing a fragile economy against renewed inflation risk. After five consecutive rate holds, policymakers are increasingly confronting an uncomfortable possibility: rate hikes may not be over. Escalating geopolitical tensions, rising oil prices, and concerns about inflation spilling into broader consumer costs have shifted the conversation dramatically. Markets that once anticipated cuts are now cautiously pricing in potential increases later this year. For housing, this creates an unusual dynamic—variable-rate borrowers receive short-term stability, while fixed-rate mortgages remain exposed to rising bond yields and inflation concerns.Meanwhile, Vancouver's rental market continues its reset. Rents have now declined for nearly three consecutive years, with one-bedroom and family-sized units experiencing some of the sharpest drops. Investors who once viewed condominiums as reliable income-producing assets are increasingly pulling back, while developers who pivoted from end-user ownership projects toward rentals are beginning to face new economic realities. The irony is difficult to ignore: record levels of rental construction arriving at the same time population growth slows and affordability challenges persist. The likely outcome? A near-term softening in rental economics followed by an eventual tightening of housing supply as projects inevitably slow.Labour market data adds another layer of complexity. Canada unexpectedly posted a strong employment report, significantly outperforming forecasts and showing meaningful gains in full-time work, particularly in construction. Yet beneath the headline strength, important cracks remain. Employment growth for the year remains subdued, wage gains are slowing, and unemployment still sits at elevated levels. In short, the economy is showing resilience without yet signaling robust expansion.Perhaps nowhere is the tension within the market more visible than in the growing wave of developer insolvencies. A major Burnaby townhouse project has entered creditor proceedings despite already being under construction, a trend that would have been nearly unthinkable during the boom years. Rising financing costs, weaker pre-sale demand, and mounting construction expenses are exposing vulnerabilities across the development landscape. Each stalled project represents more than a financial setback; it also removes future housing supply from the pipeline, quietly planting the seeds for tomorrow's shortages.Yet amid the uncertainty, early signals of stabilization are beginning to surface. Sales activity is improving, median prices have climbed steadily for months, and average prices are quietly trending upward. After more than a year of persistent declines, the market may finally be transitioning into a phase of cautious equilibrium.The defining question now is whether this stability represents a temporary pause, or the early stages of the next chapter in Canada's housing story. For now, the data suggests the era of relentless declines may finally be giving way to something far more nuanced: a market learning how to find its footing again._________________________________ Contact Us To Book Your Private Consultation:

What separates a superstar employee from someone who simply fills a position? According to performance expert Jay Henderson from Real Talent Hiring, the answer has less to do with personality and more to do with how people think.In this episode of the Podiatry Legends Podcast, Jay shares his unique approach to recruitment and explains why understanding a person's decision-making process can reveal far more about future performance than traditional behavioural assessments.We discuss the limitations of popular personality profiling tools, why many business owners repeatedly make poor hiring decisions, and how self-image can influence not only individual performance but also the growth of an entire business.One of the most fascinating parts of the conversation explores the idea that people don't change nearly as much as we often expect.

Leah Ruppanner is a Professor of Sociology at the University of Melbourne and Founder of LightenLab.She is the author of the new book: Drained: Reduce Your Mental Load to Do Less and Be More and Motherlands: How States Push Mothers Out of Employment. She has a PhD in Sociology and has spent decades researching and publishing over 70 peer-reviewed articles on gender, work and family. Today we discuss: her new book  Drained: Reduce Your Mental Load to Do Less and Be More. The term mental load has become more familiar in recent years, but the popular understanding of the concept often reduces it down to managing a list of household chores and logistics. In the book, Leah reveals that for women, mental load actually goes much deeper: It's a complex form of emotional thinking that is invisible, boundaryless, and enduring. In Drained, she outlines the eight distinct types of mental load and highlights what makes them so uniquely heavy for women.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Veronique de Rugy argues that tariffs function as taxes paid by Americans, with costs passing to consumers at a 96% rate. Despite promises to revive manufacturing, employment in that sector has continued to decline. The policy is described as a "catastrophe" resulting in billions in unconstitutional levies that require federal refunds. (13/16)1921 WALL STREET
