Jeff Holden was once a kid watching his father get laid off during a department cut, realizing early on that he never wanted to be at the mercy of unpredictable market shifts, he wanted full control over his own destiny. Today, as the Head of Trader Development at SMB Capital, Jeff has transformed that drive into a career of identifying, recruiting, and mentoring prop traders into multi-million dollar, seven- and eight-figure performers.
After starting as an independent trader working to find his own way, Jeff built his philosophy around structure, baseline consistency, and rigorous risk allocation. Rather than relying on guesswork or emotional "gut feelings," Jeff developed actionable frameworks like the "ASET" protocol to help traders systematically identify edge, manage risk, and scale capital.
 In this conversation, Jeff pulls back the curtain on how top-tier prop traders are actually built from the ground up. He breaks down the mechanics of price action and tape reading, why scalping serves as the ultimate baseline foundation, and how traders can bridge the gap between steady baseline income and aggressively swinging the bat on high-conviction A+ setups. In this episode, we explore:• How Jeff Holden develops high-performing 7- and 8-figure prop traders at SMB Capital• Jeff's personal backstory and how a childhood lesson in market volatility shaped his trading philosophy• Why beginner and developing traders must focus on building a consistent baseline strategy first• The "ASET" Protocol: Allocation, Stop, Entry, and Target framework explained• Matching your individual personality and trading psychology to the right archetype and strategy• Jeff's perspective on trading discipline, daily report cards, and long-term risk management About Jeff Holden:Jeff Holden is the Head of Trader Development at SMB Capital, one of the world's premier proprietary trading firms. Having started his career as an independent trader working to find his own way in the markets, Jeff now specializes in identifying talent, building desk playbooks, and guiding developing traders along the path to consistent, seven- and eight-figure profitability. He is known for his structured, data-driven approach to risk allocation, tape reading, and team trading dynamics. Links + Resources:

Though the seeds were already sown for quality wines in California, the famous Judgement of Paris Tasting in 1976 set the wine world ablaze and created new energy not just in America, but across the world for fine wine production and appreciation.

How do we turn the experiences and memories that shaped us into art?In this episode, recorded live at the KPBS San Diego Book Festival, we talk with Adolfo Guzman-Lopez about growing up between Tijuana and San Diego and how those experiences found their way into his writing.Adolfo grew up witnessing two very different worlds: the working-class neighborhoods of 1970s Tijuana and the middle- and upper-class neighborhoods of Pacific Beach, where he accompanied his mother as she cleaned houses.Eventually, Adolfo moved to National City and grew up in the United States. His experiences on both sides of the border led him to become a journalist, writer, and poet. In his latest work, “California Southern: Writing from the Road, 1994–2025,” Adolfo captures different stages of his life and gives voice to the people, places, and experiences that shaped him.About Season 6Port of Entry has a fresh new season for you, with richer stories of our border region.

In this episode, Kyle sits down with Cam to break down another piece of his trading system: the RSI strategy.Unlike Gap and Go, which is built around momentum and breakouts, this setup is a mean-reversion strategy. The idea is simple: find strong stocks that are temporarily oversold, then look for the bounce.Cam walks through how he uses a two-period RSI, why he looks for signals below 10, and how he exits once RSI recovers. He also explains why this works better on large-cap, institutionally supported names (especially Nasdaq 100 stocks) and why it falls apart when applied to smaller, lower-quality names.The conversation also covers how RSI fits into a broader portfolio of strategies alongside Gap and Go, Close/Open, and Opening Range Break. Cam explains why diversifying by strategy can create a smoother equity curve, keep capital working in different market conditions, and reduce reliance on any single setup.They also get into the practical side: how to size the trade, why earnings create the biggest tail risk, whether stop losses help or hurt, how options can be used to define risk, what delta and expiration ranges make sense, and why selling puts may be another way to express the same idea.This episode is a deeper look at building a full trading system...

A podcast about a podcast about one of the strangest sports scandals of the modern era. Brian Beckner welcomes back Reality Steve and Jason Stewart for a special Baller Lifestyle Podcast crossover dedicated to the ESPN 30 for 30 podcast The Betrayal of Shohei Ohtani. The guys go deep on the unbelievable story of Ippéi Mizuhara, Shohei Ohtani's former interpreter and trusted intermediary, who was ultimately accused of stealing approximately $17 million from Ohtani while accumulating enormous gambling debts. The central question: Did Shohei Ohtani really know nothing about it? Coming into the podcast, the guys had very different theories. Reality Steve was torn between the possibility that Mizuhara initially told the truth and the possibility that Ohtani genuinely had no idea what was happening. Jason Stewart entered firmly in the conspiracy/fall-guy camp. Brian was somewhere in between. After listening to the full story, however, the evidence presented in the 30 for 30 dramatically changed the conversation. The guys examine the three major possibilities surrounding the scandal: Ohtani was secretly involved in the gambling. Mizuhara gambled, lost millions, and Ohtani knowingly bailed him out. Mizuhara was secretly stealing from Ohtani, while Ohtani had absolutely no idea. The discussion dives into the evidence supporting the third scenario — including the enormous volume of communications investigators reviewed without finding evidence of gambling conversations between Ohtani and Mizuhara. But the guys aren't willing to completely let Ohtani off the hook. How can one of the richest and most famous athletes on Earth fail to notice $17 million disappearing from his own bank account? The answer may have more to do with Ohtani's unusual lifestyle, his dependence on other people, his limited English-language communication, and his extraordinary level of wealth than most people realize. The guys also explore Mizuhara's increasingly bizarre behavior, including his deception about his background, his relationship with Ohtani, his interactions with bookmaker Mathew Boyer, the enormous volume of bets placed, and the shocking story involving Ohtani's money and dental work. They also question why Boyer received a dramatically shorter sentence than Mizuhara and discuss how federal cooperation agreements can change the outcome of criminal cases. And then there's the biggest "what if?" of all: What happens if the federal government never catches Boyer? Would Mizuhara still be stealing from Ohtani today? The episode also explores one of the most revealing details from the documentary: Ohtani's description of Mizuhara not necessarily as a best friend, but as a business partner. That distinction changes the entire way the relationship can be viewed. Approximate Timestamps Note: The uploaded source is a transcript rather than an audio file, so these are suggested editorial timestamps based on the sequence and relative length of the discussion. 00:00 — Welcome to the Special Bonus Episode Brian introduces the special Baller Lifestyle Podcast episode. Reality Steve joins the show. Jason Stewart returns as the "Stu Gatz's favorite producer." Why this episode is different from the normal Baller Lifestyle format. 03:00 — The First-Ever Baller Lifestyle / Reality Steve Crossover Reality Steve explains why he wanted the episode on his own feed. The guys joke about doing a "podcast about a podcast." Why the Shohei Ohtani story was perfect for a baseball-focused crossover. 06:00 — What Did Everyone Believe Before Listening? Brian's initial impression of Ippéi Mizuhara. Reality Steve's three possible theories. Was Ohtani gambling? Did Ohtani knowingly pay Mizuhara's gambling debts? Or was Mizuhara secretly stealing from him? 10:00 — The $17 Million Question How does someone steal approximately $17 million from one of the world's richest athletes? Why Ohtani may genuinely not have noticed. Ohtani's extraordinary wealth and unusual lifestyle. The idea that he may have essentially never needed to monitor his own bank accounts. 14:00 — Jason Stewart's Fall-Guy Theory Why Jason initially believed Mizuhara was taking the fall. Why the conspiracy theory was more entertaining than the actual explanation. Comparisons to other famous sports scandals. Why the evidence eventually changed Jason's mind. 18:00 — 19,000 Bets and $325 Million in Action The staggering volume of Mizuhara's gambling. More than $300 million in total bets. Approximately $142 million in winning bets. Approximately $182.9 million in losing bets. The resulting roughly $41 million net gambling loss. How someone could gamble at that scale and continue getting credit. 23:00 — The Bookmaker Mathew Boyer Reality Steve explains the betting numbers. Why Boyer kept increasing Mizuhara's credit. The importance of Mizuhara's connection to Ohtani. How much did Boyer actually know about his client's finances? The enormous amount of money moving through the operation. 27:00 — The $500-a-Week Problem Mizuhara's claims about how much Ohtani paid him. Why the guys immediately questioned the number. What Mizuhara actually did for Ohtani on a daily basis. Driver, personal assistant, translator, errands and more. Why the story didn't seem to add up. 31:00 — The FBI Investigation What federal investigators actually examined. Thousands of pages of communications. The surprising absence of gambling conversations between Ohtani and Mizuhara. Why that evidence dramatically changed the guys' opinions. 35:00 — Was Shohei Really Completely Clueless? Jason explains why he still had doubts. Why the absence of gambling conversations initially seemed suspicious. Could Ohtani have used Mizuhara as a buffer? Why the guys ultimately lean toward Ohtani being unaware. 39:00 — Ohtani's Extraordinary Dependence on Other People Ohtani's limited English. His dependence on agents, bankers, interpreters and other representatives. Why the guys think Ohtani may have been unusually insulated from everyday life. The theory that Ohtani has simply never had to handle normal financial responsibilities. 43:00 — The Dental Work Scam The shocking $60,000 dental story. Mizuhara receives money for dental treatment. What allegedly happened to the money. How the guys view this as another example of Mizuhara's willingness to exploit Ohtani. 47:00 — What If the FBI Never Caught Boyer? How the entire scandal came to light. The federal investigation was focused on Boyer. What could have happened if investigators never uncovered the connection to Ohtani? Would Mizuhara still be stealing from Ohtani? Reality Steve's theory that Ohtani might eventually have discovered everything privately. 51:00 — The Original Story Mizuhara Told ESPN Mizuhara initially claimed Ohtani knew about his gambling. The original explanation for the money transfers. Why Mizuhara's story completely changed. How Ohtani reportedly learned about the allegations. 55:00 — The South Korea Team Meeting Ohtani's shocking position as the last person to understand what was happening. Mizuhara's explanation of what he had told the team. Ohtani asking what had been said. The surreal nature of the situation. 59:00 — Could Ohtani Have Been Suspended? Reality Steve poses the hypothetical: What if the original story had been true? What if Ohtani knowingly paid off Mizuhara's illegal gambling debt? What would Major League Baseball have done? The difference between gambling himself and helping a friend pay a debt. Pete Rose and the Astros enter the discussion. 1:05:00 — MLB, Gambling & the Changing Sports Landscape How professional sports' relationship with gambling has changed. Pete Rose's precedent. The Astros' cheating scandal. Modern sports betting controversies. Why punishment for gambling-related behavior has become increasingly complicated. 1:10:00 — Was Mizuhara Really Ohtani's Best Friend? The guys challenge the public perception of their relationship. Ohtani reportedly referring to Mizuhara more as a business partner than a close friend. How Mizuhara may have cultivated the image that they were essentially brothers. Ohtani's language barrier and how it affected that perception. 1:15:00 — Mizuhara's Sentencing vs. Boyer's Mizuhara receives 57 months. Boyer receives only five months. Why the sentencing disparity surprises the guys. Federal cooperation agreements. The guys compare Boyer's situation to other famous criminal cases. 1:20:00 — What Does Boyer Know? Boyer's claims about his gambling operation. His alleged connections to major sports figures. Why the guys wonder who else might have been betting with him. The unanswered question of how much information Boyer actually possesses. 1:24:00 — Mizuhara's Future in Japan Mizuhara's Japanese citizenship. Why he may ultimately be deported. The implications of returning to Japan after stealing from Ohtani. The guys speculate about what his life could look like after prison. 1:28:00 — Ohtani's Incredible Ability to Compartmentalize The scandal breaking right around Opening Day. Ohtani's ability to perform despite the controversy. His historic 2024 season. Winning the World Series while the scandal surrounded him. How remarkable his focus was. 1:33:00 — Brian's Ohtani Hot Take The guys discuss Ohtani's current performance. Brian insists on consistency. The conversation turns to international baseball and MLB's overseas strategy. 1:37:00 — Should MLB Start the Season Overseas? The guys revisit MLB's decision to open the season in Korea. Why Brian thinks regular-season games should begin in the United States. Growing baseball internationally versus inconveniencing American viewers. Why exhibition games might accomplish the same goal. 1:42:00 — NFL Games Overseas The NFL's increasingly aggressive international strategy. Games in Australia and other international locations. The guys joke about how far the NFL will go to test the limits of its audience. Streaming and unusual kickoff times. 1:46:00 — Reality Steve's NFL Survivor Pool Reality Steve discusses his 2026 NFL Survivor Pool. Entry fee and contest structure. The Reality Steve Survivor Contest on Splash Sports. Why Survivor pools can be so much fun — and so frustrating. The guys discuss huge survivor pools and the problem of people entering hundreds of times. 1:51:00 — The Diamond Bar Connection Brian reveals his personal connection to the Ippéi Mizuhara story. Diamond Bar High School. The legendary basketball game against Los Alamitos. Brian's 24-point performance and six three-pointers. A young Keith Van Horn on the opposing team.

Jason's memories of Majerus. The legendary Krispy Kreme story. A brief detour into Majerus lore. 2:01:00 — Final Thoughts on The Betrayal of Shohei Ohtani The guys recap what they learned. Why the 30 for 30 podcast changed their opinions. Why Mizuhara increasingly appears to have acted alone. Why Ohtani's financial naivete remains the most unbelievable part of the story. The unanswered questions that remain. 2:04:00 — Wrap-Up Brian thanks Reality Steve and Jason Stewart. Discussion of doing another crossover episode. Final plugs and sign-off. TBLS. Key Takeaways The Three Theories The episode revolves around three possible explanations for the scandal: Ohtani was secretly gambling himself. Ohtani knew Mizuhara was gambling and knowingly paid his debts. Mizuhara secretly stole from Ohtani without his knowledge. After reviewing the evidence presented in the ESPN podcast, the panel largely moves toward the third explanation. The Scale of the Gambling Mizuhara's gambling activity was enormous: Roughly 19,000 bets Approximately $325 million in total wagers About $142 million in winning bets About $182.9 million in losing bets Roughly $41 million net losses The scale of the operation becomes one of the most astonishing aspects of the entire story. ️ The Communication Evidence One of the most important points discussed is the federal investigation's review of thousands of pages of communications between Ohtani and Mizuhara. The guys focus heavily on the fact that the investigation reportedly did not uncover conversations between the two directly discussing gambling. For Jason in particular, this becomes a major reason to reconsider the original fall-guy theory. How Could Ohtani Not Know? The panel's explanation is that Ohtani's extraordinary wealth and insulated lifestyle may have made it possible for him to remain completely unaware of the missing money. The guys discuss how Ohtani delegated virtually every aspect of his day-to-day life to other people — making Mizuhara's position of trust extraordinarily powerful. Mizuhara's Deception The episode portrays Mizuhara as someone who repeatedly manipulated people around him, fabricated elements of his background and cultivated a much closer public relationship with Ohtani than Ohtani himself may have considered accurate. The guys particularly focus on the contrast between the public perception of them as best friends and Ohtani's description of Mizuhara as more of a business partner. ️ The Sentencing Question Another major unanswered question is why Mizuhara received a dramatically longer sentence than bookmaker Mathew Boyer. The guys discuss how cooperation with federal investigators can produce dramatically different sentencing outcomes — and speculate about what information Boyer may have provided. The Biggest "What If?" The biggest hypothetical of the episode: What if the federal government never investigated Boyer? The guys debate whether Mizuhara would have continued stealing from Ohtani until he eventually ran out of money, got caught by Ohtani himself, or somehow managed to keep the scheme going. Most Shocking Moments Approximately $17 million allegedly stolen from Shohei Ohtani. Nearly 19,000 gambling bets. Approximately $325 million wagered. Mizuhara's reported losses exceeding $40 million. The absence of gambling discussions in thousands of pages of communications between Ohtani and Mizuhara. Ohtani allegedly being the last person to learn what Mizuhara had told the Dodgers. The bizarre $60,000 dental-work story. Mizuhara's original claim that Ohtani knowingly paid his gambling debts. The dramatic reversal of that story. Mizuhara receiving 57 months compared with Boyer's five months. The possibility that Ohtani genuinely never noticed millions disappearing from his accounts. Ohtani's ability to produce an historic season while the scandal exploded around him.

Rather than simply recap the ESPN documentary, the guys debate the evidence, challenge each other's theories and ask the questions they felt the original podcast left unanswered.

In the headlines today, Thailand is reminding travelers to be ready to show proof of funds upon arrival, then in Taiwan a Thai woman is being accused of smuggling 72 heroin capsules inside of her body, back in Bangkok a driver is rejecting claimes that he intentionally rammed a motorcycle carrying a baby, also an ambulance fee dispute allegedly delays a cancer patients hospital trip, and finally in some business news Central Retail takes over 30+ MaxValu stores in a move to expand its Tops brand.

Episode OverviewHow much gear does it actually take to fish effectively for trout in the Southern Appalachians? On this Casting Angles episode of The Articulate Fly fly fishing podcast, host Marvin Cash and Master Casting Instructor Mac Brown of Mac Brown Fly Fish make the case for stripping gear down to the essentials rather than chasing every new product on the market. The conversation was sparked by both hosts equipping their youngest sons with fly fishing gear, which got them talking about how little an angler really needs to catch fish consistently in the region's freestone trout streams.Mac and Marvin walk through a minimalist lanyard setup built around a single small fly box, forceps, nippers, split shot, floatant and a tippet spool, paired with a short list of proven trout patterns rather than an overstuffed vest. They cover footwear strategy for backcountry approaches into Great Smoky Mountains National Park, weighing lightweight hiking shoes and packable wading shoes against the weight and bulk of traditional wading boots. The pair also break down how to assemble a budget-conscious rod, reel and line setup without sacrificing performance, and make the case for redirecting money saved on gear toward casting or guided instruction instead. Mac closes with a preview of his fall school schedule and the early October start of the Delayed Harvest season around Bryson City, North Carolina.Key TakeawaysHow a single lanyard with a small fly box, forceps, nippers, split shot, floatant and a tippet spool covers nearly everything needed for a day on Southern Appalachian trout water.Why a short list of proven patterns like elk hair caddis, parachute Adams, greenie weenies, San Juan worms and soft hackle pheasant tails outperforms an overstuffed fly selection.When wet wading in lightweight shoes like Keens, Chacos or old sneakers makes more sense than hiking in with traditional wading boots on long backcountry approaches.How to build a budget-conscious rod, reel and line setup using workhorse reels and affordable entry-level fly lines without sacrificing performance on the water.Why redirecting money saved on gear toward casting or guided instruction accelerates an angler's progress faster than buying more equipment.Techniques & Gear CoveredThe core technique here is minimalist trout fishing logistics rather than any single on-water tactic, built around carrying a lanyard with a small fly box, forceps, nippers, split shot, gel and powder floatant and a tippet spool instead of a heavily loaded vest or pack. Fly selection stays deliberately narrow, with elk hair caddis, parachute Adams, greenie weenies, San Juan worms, beetles, ants, hare's ear nymphs and soft hackle pheasant tails covering the bulk of Southern Appalachian trout water. Footwear gets specific attention, with Mac and Marvin comparing lightweight hiking shoes like Hokas paired with packable river shoes against traditional wading boots, plus a budget DIY option from Mac's childhood of gluing felt soles onto old Converse sneakers to build a lightweight homemade wading shoe for backcountry hikes. On the rod, reel and line side, Mac and Marvin point to workhorse reels from manufacturers like Lamson and affordable entry-level fly lines in the $70 range as ways to get a capable trout setup without overspending on premium gear.Locations & SpeciesThe episode centers on wild and stocked trout fishing in western North Carolina, with backcountry streams inside Great Smoky Mountains National Park serving as the primary destination discussed for the minimalist, hike-in approach to gear. Mac and Marvin note that the Park's water calls for small dries, wets and nymphs rather than streamers, with streamer fishing only becoming viable after a thunderstorm pushes water levels up. The conversation also touches on current warm weather wet-wade conditions giving way to fall, with the region's Delayed Harvest season expected to resume the first Saturday in October around Bryson City.FAQ / Key Questions AnsweredWhat gear do I actually need to fish effectively for trout in the Southern Appalachians?A single lanyard carrying a small fly box, forceps, nippers, split shot, gel and powder floatant and a tippet spool covers nearly everything needed for a productive day on the water. Pair that with a short list of proven patterns like elk hair caddis, parachute Adams and soft hackle pheasant tails rather than an overloaded fly selection.How should I choose footwear for hiking into backcountry trout streams?Lightweight hiking shoes like Hokas paired with packable river shoes that fold up small are a lighter alternative to traditional wading boots, which take up significant pack space and add several pounds of weight. Budget wet-wade options like Keens, Chacos or even old sneakers also work well.What's a budget-friendly way to build a trout rod, reel and line setup?Most major rod manufacturers make a solid, entry level four- or five-weight rod, and companies like Lamson produce affordable, workhorse reels that hold up for years of trout fishing. Entry-level fly lines from brands like Scientific Anglers run around $70 and are a reasonable way to get out the door without overspending on premium gear.Why should anglers prioritize instruction over buying more gear?Gear alone is unlikely to be the deciding factor in becoming a better angler, while casting or guided instruction directly improves the skills that produce more fish on the water. Redirecting money that would otherwise go toward another piece of gear into a lesson or class tends to pay off faster than expanding an already adequate kit.Related ContentS8, Ep 57 - The Power of Habit: Mac Brown's Strategies for Fishing SuccessS8, Ep 21 - Casting into Spring: Mac Brown Discusses Wild Trout Fishing and Upcoming ClassesS8, Ep 49 - Mastering the Cast: Mac Brown's Insights on Shooting LineView All Casting Angles Episodes with Mac BrownConnect with Our GuestFollow Mac on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.Follow the ShowFollow The Articulate Fly on Facebook, Instagram, Threads and YouTube.Follow our Substack newsletter for episode updates, tips and resources.Support the ShowShop through our Amazon link to support the podcast.Join our Patreon community to support the show.If you are in the industry and need help getting unstuck, learn more about our consulting options.Subscribe & AdvertiseSubscribe to the podcast in your favorite podcast app.Think our community is a good fit for your brand?

Service is often treated as the ribbon that sets credit unions apart, but what happens when the basics of service are missed while we are chasing the next big opportunity? In this episode, Scott Anderle challenges credit union leaders to rethink service as the price of entry to becoming a member's primary financial institution. Friendly and fast are no longer enough. Members want to be understood, helped, and guided toward better financial decisions. Scott breaks down the evolution from the goods economy to service, experience, and transformation, then provides a practical framework for building a service culture that connects the mission of the movement to the work of every department and individual. The goal is simple: build a culture where service is consistent, intentional, and strong enough to support everything else your credit union wants to accomplish.  In this episode we talk about and answer these questions:  Why is service the price of entry rather than the ribbon that differentiates your credit union?  What happens when credit unions focus on innovation and growth before mastering the basics of service?  How are member expectations changing from fast and friendly service to being understood and genuinely helped?  How can leaders connect the movement mission to their organization, department, and personal purpose?  Where does your credit union fall in the four phases of service culture: reactive, build, connective, or thriving?  What practical steps can leaders take to build consistency and strengthen their service culture?  Click Here to Submit Your Questions  Links from show:  Take the ServiStar Service Culture Quiz   Sign up for the ServiStar Emerging Leaders Program  Book a discovery call with ServiStar Consulting  Subscribe to the ServiStar Leadership Podcast on your favorite streaming service 

Welcome to another entry of The Recovery Diaries.In this episode, Mavi Rodriguez sits down with Danae De Guelle to hear the story of a surgery that turned into a life-threatening medical emergency.What Danae thought would be a routine hernia repair became months of complications, multiple surgeries, wound care, and an infection that completely changed the way she thinks about surgery and recovery.Danae shares what happened when her incision began to change, the warning signs she experienced, spending months going in and out of the hospital, and the mental impact of surviving such a frightening experience.She also opens up about the lessons she took from her recovery: asking questions before surgery, understanding what recovery will actually look like, having a support system, listening to your body, and—most importantly—advocating for yourself when something doesn't feel right.This conversation is a reminder that recovery is not something that happens after the "real" procedure. Recovery is part of the journey.Mavi and Danae also discuss how patients can better prepare themselves for surgery, the importance of communicating with your medical team, and why patients should never be afraid to speak up.⚠️ Disclaimer: This episode shares personal experiences and opinions and is for educational and informational purposes only.

Most traders think the hard decisions happen after they enter a trade.But in reality, the quality of those decisions is usually determined before they ever press the buy button.In this episode, we explore why clear trading rules are one of the most overlooked parts of successful trading—and how defining your plan before entering can help you avoid emotional decision-making later.You'll learn how to build rules that match your Trading Avatar, define your controlling timeframe, manage positions consistently, and evaluate your execution without letting profits and losses distort your thinking.In this episode, we cover: Why most trading rules are too vague  How your Trading Avatar shapes every trading decision  Choosing the correct controlling timeframe  What should be true before you buy  Planning how you'll hold, add, reduce, or exit  Why you shouldn't rewrite your rules mid-trade  Separating process from outcome  How to build a simple, repeatable trading plan The goal isn't to predict every move.It's to create a process that's clear enough to follow—even when emotions are trying to pull you away from it.

Europe rose 33% to 450,000 and other markets 97% to 280,000, while North America fell 27% to 140,000 as the US decline widened beyond 30%.ULTIUM CELLS TO RESTART OHIO OUTPUTUltium Cells restarts battery-cell production next week at its Warren, Ohio plant after a seven-month shutdown blamed on falling EV demand and the cancelled $7,500 federal tax credit. The GM–LG joint venture site makes large-format NCMA pouch cells with over 45GWh annual capacity for nearly all GM EVs, and expects headcount to reach 1,400 after cutting roughly 1,330 jobs at closure.VOLKSWAGEN OPENS ID.3 NEO UK ORDERSVolkswagen opened UK orders for the ID.3 Neo on 13 August 2026 from £33,080, or £31,580 after the Government's £1,500 Electric Car Grant, with 50, 58 and 79 kWh batteries giving up to 390 miles and DC charging from 100 kW to 183 kW. The revised hatchback gains new LED headlights, an illuminated badge, the return of physical buttons and rotary controls, a new Innovision system with an in-car app shop, and a 3.6 kW V2L adapter.TESLA PLANS 124-STALL SUPERCHARGER IN SOUTHERN SAN FRANCISCOTesla filed plans on 26 May 2026 for a 124-stall Supercharger at 75 Waterloo Street in southern San Francisco, one of the largest globally and unusual for sitting inside a city rather than beside a highway. The site draws entirely from the grid with no solar canopies or Megapack storage, and includes a 416-square-foot building with two restrooms, vending machines and water fountains open 24 hours.CHARGING FAILURES HIT SIX-YEAR LOWPublic charging failures fell to 12% in the second quarter from 14% a year earlier and 19% in 2023 and 2024, the lowest in the six-year history of JD Power's study, which credited faster chargers and larger destination-style sites. Ionna led DC fast-charger satisfaction on 807 out of 1,000, ahead of Mercedes-Benz on 797, Rivian on 755 and Tesla on 701, against a segment average of 666.CHINESE CAR MAKERS BUILD IN AFRICAChinese car makers are opening African factories to absorb domestic overcapacity and sidestep European and North American trade barriers, with Chery buying Nissan's Rosslyn plant near Pretoria in July and BAIC and Great Wall already operating on the continent. South Africa, Morocco, Kenya, Ethiopia and Ghana are drawing investment through rebates, tax breaks and import bans on fossil-fuel cars, though weak grids, thin charging infrastructure and policy uncertainty still deter long-term commitment.GAC ADDS 44KWH AION UT WITH 320KM (199 MILES) WLTP RANGE IN LATE 2026GAC will add a 44kWh lithium iron phosphate entry version of the Aion UT with an estimated 320km (199 miles) WLTP range, priced under AUD$30,000 before on-road costs. It sits below the 60kWh Premium and Luxury at AUD$31,990 and AUD$35,990, answering cheaper rivals such as BYD's AUD$23,990 Atto 1 Essential and Geely's AUD$26,490 EX2 Complete.HONGQI TO ENTER AUSTRALIA IN 2027Hongqi will launch in Australia under the HQ name in January 2027 via Sydney distributor Greentech, starting with the E-HS9 large three-row electric SUV. Entry cars use a 99kWh NMC battery for 465km (289 miles) WLTP and higher trims a 120kWh pack for 515km (320 miles), with six- or seven-seat layouts and twin 16.2-inch displays, but no announced pricing.XCHARGE POWERS ELECTRIC AIRPORT FIRE ENGINEXCharge North America has deployed a 400-kW ultra-fast charger at Dallas Love Field Airport to serve Dallas Fire-Rescue's Rosenbauer Panther 6×6 Electric, billed as the world's first fully electric aircraft rescue and firefighting vehicle. The airport handles almost 18 million passengers a year, and XCharge argues electrification reduces the logistical and environmental risks of moving and storing liquid fuel around aircraft operations.One flag: the GAC headline says late 2026, but the copy says "late next year" — from an August 2026 dateline those are a year apart. Worth resolving before publication.

Universal detailed its Halloween Horror Nights Hollywood plans at Midsummer Scream, and the throughline is small IPs moving fast. Art the Clown returns in three controlled deployments: a Terror Tram takeover built around an original storybook and metal Christmas covers from Ice Nine Kills, a dedicated photo op, and a character encounter. Nikki from Curry Barker's Obsession joins as a character experience two months after the film premiered, the kind of deal that only closes that fast with an independent creator. And Slash scored the Killceañera house with an original song the villain lip-syncs, delivering exposition as a ballad so good fans are already asking for it on Spotify. The takeaway for operators is to build the event bones and hold the budget placeholder, so the hot IP can plug in late.Elsewhere at Midsummer Scream: Hollywood adds its first Unmasking the Horror daytime tour at $20 for two houses, Winchester Mystery House drops the linear haunt for an open festival format, and Six Flags Magic Mountain adds Final Destination plus a werewolf maze from a Knott's Scary Farm designer, cross-park design work the old corporate structure never allowed.Meanwhile, Six Flags opened 2027 pass sales one day after earnings, with regional Gold passes, Prestige passes, dining as bundles, and all-season Fast Lane pricing that runs $600 at Knott's and $2,000 at Cedar Point. Entry stays cheap because the strategy is repeat visitation. Finally, SeaWorld Orlando, Aquatica, and Discovery Cove return to a single president, 23-year company veteran Brad Gilmore, reversing the 2023 split.Listen to weekly BONUS episodes on our Patreon.

One of the biggest problems with healthcare isn't a lack of data, but the fact that none of it is connected. We have lab results, wearables, environmental exposures, sleep scores, and medical records scattered in different places. Yet we're often left without a clear picture of what all that information actually means for our health. I sat down with Nasim Afsar to explore how artificial intelligence could help us bring those pieces together. We talked about using tools like Claude and Gemini for health questions, the limitations of today's AI models, privacy concerns, and why relying too heavily on numbers can disconnect you from what your body is telling you. We also look at where healthcare is headed, from continuous monitoring and predictive analytics to personalized prevention before symptoms become bigger problems. You'll hear about how to filter through biohacking noise, make smarter decisions with your health data, and use technology without letting it replace your own judgment.   "Large language models have access to a wealth of information that can help you better understand what your information says, and potentially brainstorm about what else could be going on." ~ Nasim Afsar   In This Episode: - The pillars of intelligent health - Using AI to analyze complex health symptoms - Best LLMs and wearables for health data - Avoiding health optimization overload - Monitoring and consolidating data for health intelligence - Bias in AI recommendations - How algorithms shape health information - Three steps to take charge of your health - AI health tools and where to get Nasim's book   Products & Resources Mentioned: Nasim Afsar's Book, Intelligent Health: A resource built to unify data, harness AI, and empower people to thrive.

(Gabby Salgado / KYUK) The State of Alaska is working with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and other agencies to collect what are known as Right of Entry forms from households impacted by ex-Typhoon Halong, as KYUK's Evan Erickson reports. The form is required for getting certain types of assistance with winterization and debris removal. It allows authorized recovery agencies to enter properties to inspect, document, and complete recovery work. Completing the form does not guarantee that work will be performed. The form is for households both that may need or have already received assistance in the forms of emergency winterization of storm-damaged homes; temporary weatherproofing or securing openings; moisture control or minor temporary repairs; limited heat or fuel-related stabilization; and/or certain types of private property debris removal. Gallup Indian Medical Center. (Courtesy Gallup Indian Medical Center / Facebook) The Navajo Area Indian Health Services and the New Mexico Department of Health (NMDOH) have signed a memorandum of agreement to support rural health initiatives through data sharing. KUNM's Jeanette DeDios (Jicarilla Apache and Diné) has more. Dr. Laura Parajón, director of the Center for Health Protection at NMDOH, says the coordination between the state and the Navajo Nation is crucial. “It’s important that Navajo Nation has the same access to high-quality data that we do, that they get similar data that allows Navajo Nation themselves to conduct their own analysis, and that they can design their own culturally meaningful public health interventions for themselves.” The agreement is a first step in partnership between state and tribal public health departments to make sharing information easier and filling gaps in data. It will help better identify unmet needs, coordinate care, and monitor outcomes. NMDOH Tribal liaison Janet Johnson (Santa Clara Pueblo) says tribal leaders need to be able to access data instantly, such as a system used to track sexually transmitted diseases, including HIV. “And that will help Navajo Area Indian Health Service support their public health surveillance, and give them again that real-time access to see where these outbreaks are occurring, what they need to do and again with our support to be able to better address any issues and concerns that are affecting their populations.” The current agreement does not include any state appropriations.

Katie Hobbs, and Hopi Chairman Lamar Keevama sign a memorandum of understanding for coal-impacted communities at the Desert Botanical Garden on August 11, 2026. (Photo: Connor Greenwall) Gov. Katie Hobbs (D-AZ) announced an economic agreement Tuesday with northern Arizona tribal leaders. It is meant to bolster the Four Corners region – at a time when the coal industry is in decline. KJZZ's Gabriel Pietrorazio has more. The Memorandum of Understanding is between the Navajo Nation, Hopi Tribe, and the state – all of which are vulnerable to coal mines and power plants shutting down. That includes the Four Corners plant, which could close by 2031. The Navajo-owned company that fuels the aging facility recently announced plans to extend the life of a massive coal mine by more than a century, but with coal giving way to cleaner, more efficient fuels, state, and tribal leaders are coming together to ink a five-year commitment to track closures and promote the wellbeing of coal miners.

On this day in 1803, the Kaskaskia Tribe signed a treaty with the United States at Vincennes in the Indiana Territory. Under the agreement, the Kaskaskia ceded most of their lands in what is now Illinois to the U.S. The treaty provided the tribe with reserved lands, annual payments, and other assistance.

Edmund Fitton-Brown describes the Houthis' methodical campaign, likely coordinated with Iran, to intimidate Saudi Arabia and prevent its entry into the Abraham Accords. Recent strikes on Mocha and Jazan highlight a resurgence of the 12-year-old Yemeni civil war, which remains a primary source of regional instability. While a new Sunni alliance between Pakistan and Turkey offers symbolic support to the Saudis, it lacks the practical military "teeth" to intervene on the ground. Meanwhile, the UAE is asserting itself as an agile regional powerhouse, investing in high-tech infrastructure and maintaining an uncompromising stance against the Muslim Brotherhood. (7)

There is growing consensus that AI is eroding the experience pathways organizations depend on to develop human judgment. Entry-level roles are shrinking, hands-on work is being automated, and fewer people are building the experience their businesses need. This is a well-documented challenge. What remains far less clear is what the talent strategy response should look like. Most skills systems today are built to track whether someone can execute a task, not how well they make decisions under ambiguity. If judgment is becoming the most important capability in the organization, recruiting, learning, and assessment all need recalibrating around it. So what does that recalibration look like in practice? My guest this week is Craig Friedman, author of Enterprise Skills Unlocked and Talent Transformation Leader at St. Charles Consulting Group. In our conversation, he explains why current skills infrastructure misses the capability that matters most, what work looks like when execution is automated, and how organizations can start building judgment into their talent strategy. In the interview, we discuss: What does enterprise AI adoption currently look like The long-term consequences of cutting entry-level jobs What does work look like when the automatable tasks are taken away? Why judgment is more important as a skill than ever before The difference between judgment and critical thinking Where does judgment fit into the skills infrastructure? How can TA teams hire for judgment? What does the future look like? Follow this podcast on Apple Podcasts. Follow this podcast on Spotify.

La protesta no siempre se ve como la imaginamos. A veces toma la forma de una canción, una pintura o una marcha. Y otras veces, de un chiste.En este episodio de Port of Entry, grabado ante un público en vivo durante el evento KPBS Podcasts Live: The Art of Protest (el arte de protestar), conversamos con Lourdes Ayón, tijuanense, comediante, activista y cabildera.Creciendo en Tijuana, Lourdes encontró inspiración en la comedia tanto en inglés como en español. Con el tiempo descubrió que el humor podía ser muchas cosas: una forma de expresarse, de sobrellevar los momentos más difíciles de la vida y de cuestionar el status quo. En esta conversación nos cuenta cómo la comedia puede abrir diálogos, cambiar perspectivas y convertirse en una poderosa forma de protesta.Redes sociales y contactoDe KPBS, Port of Entry cuenta historias que cruzan fronteras.

Ashe in America and Ghost kick off Season 5 of The Chosen, and this season comes with a twist: nearly the entire storyline unfolds inside the final six days before the Last Supper, told in a way one host compares to a Christopher Nolan film. Episode one opens on Palm Sunday, and the hosts dig into how differently each disciple carries themselves as the crowds cheer, with Judas especially swept up in the moment in a way that says a lot about where his story is headed. From there they trace the walk into Jerusalem, the weight of what everyone senses is coming, and a pivotal, fiery scene at the temple that seals Jesus's fate. Expect callbacks to the wilderness tabernacle, some sharp historical context on money changers and taxation, and plenty of banter between two hosts who clearly cannot wait for this season to unfold. They close out with a first look at the Season 6 trailer, so stick around.

Divorce attorney James Sexton has a theory: the smartest thing you can do before you get married is think like someone whose job is ending marriages. Today, James joins Nicole for part one of a two-part conversation, sharing what you need to know before you say "I do." Make sure you're subscribed to Money Rehab so you don't miss part two in a few weeks, where they get into what you need to know before you get divorced. James unpacks why every couple needs a prenup, and shares the wildest prenup clause he's ever seen. He also gets into what actually makes fidelity and sex clauses hold up in court, and why most DIY prenups fall apart long before they're ever tested.  Then Nicole and James zoom out to the stuff that can predict divorce long before anyone hires a lawyer: the small, unsexy daily habits that keep a relationship alive, and the financial fights that are never really about the money. Plus, James explains why he thinks couples should see a divorce attorney before they get married, and as weird as it sounds… we agree.

Neil Lanctot details the March 1916 sinking of the Sussex, which caused more American deaths and pushed Wilson to the brink of war. German Ambassador Johann von Bernstorff worked desperately to maintain peace, recognizing that American entry would doom Germany, while Wilson largely ignored his own ambassadors in London and Berlin, whom he considered useless or biased. Interestingly, the Wilson administration used wiretaps to monitor the German embassy, revealing Bernstorff's personal affairs and diplomatic strategies. In Berlin, leaders distrusted Wilson, viewing him as leaning toward the Allies, while British leaders like Lloyd George were frustrated by American neutrality. Domestically, TR's rage at Wilson's "holding back" reached a boiling point, leading him to use vulgar language toward the President during private meetings with Republican financiers. Meanwhile, militant pacifist Rosika Schwimmer, who had initially drawn Henry Ford into the peace movement, was marginalized as the movement became increasingly fragmented and impractical. (5)1914

Lindsey Olin Graham (July 9, 1955 – July 11, 2026) was an American politician, attorney, and Air Force officer who represented South Carolina in the U.S. Senate from 2003 until his death in 2026. He was one of the most influential Republican senators of his era, particularly on national security, judicial nominations, and foreign policy. Early Life Graham was born in Central, South Carolina, where his parents owned a restaurant, pool hall, and liquor store. He became the first member of his family to attend college, earning both a bachelor's degree and a law degree from the University of South Carolina. While in school, he suffered the loss of both parents within about 15 months and took responsibility for helping raise his younger sister. Military Service After law school, Graham joined the U.S. Air Force Judge Advocate General (JAG) Corps, serving as a military lawyer. He served on active duty from 1982 to 1989, including assignments in Germany, and later continued in the South Carolina Air National Guard and Air Force Reserve. During his military career he reached the rank of Colonel and retired in 2015 after 33 years of service. Entry into Politics Graham began his political career in the South Carolina House of Representatives, serving from 1993 to 1995. In 1994, he won election to the U.S. House of Representatives from South Carolina's 3rd Congressional District, becoming the first Republican elected from that district since Reconstruction. During his time in the House, he gained national attention as one of the House managers who prosecuted the impeachment case against President Bill Clinton in 1999. U.S. Senate Career Graham was elected to the U.S. Senate in 2002 and took office in January 2003. He won reelection in 2008, 2014, and 2020. Throughout his Senate career he served on several powerful committees, including Judiciary, Appropriations, Budget, and Environment and Public Works. He also chaired the Senate Judiciary Committee and later the Senate Budget Committee. Key Political Positions Graham became known for: Strong support for a robust U.S. military and interventionist foreign policy. Advocacy for American support of allies such as Ukraine and Israel. Leadership on judicial confirmations, including helping advance the confirmations of Supreme Court Justices Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, and Amy Coney Barrett. Relationship with Donald Trump One of the most notable aspects of Graham's career was his evolving relationship with Donald Trump. During the 2016 Republican presidential primary, Graham strongly criticized Trump, but after Trump's election, however, Graham became one of his closest allies in Congress and frequently advised him on foreign-policy and judicial matters. Legacy His supporters remember him as a skilled legislator, military veteran, and influential voice on national security. Critics often challenged his changing political alliances and hawkish foreign-policy positions. Nevertheless, he remained one of the most recognizable and consequential Republican senators of the early 21st century Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.
