Altruistic, or 'for purpose' organisations, have been found to contribute as much to GDP as financial and insurance services. Research has found these enterprises, which are motivated by social, environmental, or community ideals rather primarily for profit, contribute an estimated $25.8 billion to the economy when volunteer labour is included. The report for JBWere's philanthropic services also found the sector employs one in 13 workers. The research for the investment firm was carried out by Waikato University's Professor Frank Scrimgeour with contributions by JBWere's William McInerney. He speaks to Kathryn.

Sydney down 4.7% for the quarter, Melbourne down 3.9%, and commentators now calling for falls of 10%. The quarterly picture is negative almost everywhere, and the annual gains in Brisbane, Perth and Adelaide are shrinking fast.From there the conversation turns to one of the most misunderstood positions in investing: holding cash. Most investors feel like they are losing by sitting in cash, but it is the opposite. Cash equals options. It is exactly how Warren Buffett was able to extract a 10% preferred dividend and warrants at $8 from Bank of America during the GFC. That deal was only available to the person with the money when nobody else had any. Buffett made $500 million on the dividends alone.We also walk through why buy and hold fails when you measure returns across a full market cycle, from low point to low point. The secular bull from 1982 to 2000 delivered 666%. The bear market that followed wiped out 59% of it. Once you add fees, inflation and tax, the full cycle return was close to zero.And then the part that changes how most people think about property versus stocks: rebalancing. You cannot rebalance a house. If it falls 20%, you sit and hope. With a diversified stock portfolio you can harvest winners and add to losers, and the maths show that rebalancing turns a flat market into a positive return. We walk through the example with two assets, one up 25% and one down 20%, and show how the rebalanced portfolio gains over 5% while the buy-and-hold portfolio gains nothing.This is why we think stocks are a better long-term investment. Property will have its day, but over time the ability to rebalance between uncorrelated assets leads to higher compound returns.New episode out every Monday.

Lace, Director of Supported Decision Making at AIM Services, shares personal anecdotes that highlight her longtime commitment to fostering autonomy and self-determination for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

The conversation also sheds light on the legal framework supporting these practices in New York State, underscoring the opportunity for individuals to craft meaningful lives with dignity and autonomy.Key Takeaways: · Understanding Supported Decision Making: The process involves empowering individuals with disabilities to make informed choices rather than having others make decisions for them, challenging common misconceptions.· Importance of Dignity of Risk: Allowing individuals the opportunity to make imperfect decisions fosters growth and learning, a central theme in promoting autonomy and self-determination.· Role of DSPs: Direct Support Professionals are encouraged to create environments that facilitate personal choice and self-expression, reinforcing the message that every voice matters.· Alternatives to Guardianship: Consideration of supported decision making agreements as a viable alternative ensures individuals maintain decision-making agency and are provided the necessary supports to exercise it.Notable Quotes:· "At the core, that's what I hope for every person—the opportunity to succeed because they were given the opportunity to try." – Lace Kitchin· "Supported decision making is about maintaining the individual's right to make their own decisions while ensuring they have the information, tools, and trusted people they need." – Lace Kitchin· "Our goal isn't to make good decision makers, but informed ones." – Lace Kitchin· "Safety should not come at the expense of a person's right to direct their own life." – Lace KitchinResources:AIM Services Supported Decision MakingNew York State's Mental Hygiene Law, Article 82Listeners are encouraged to tune into the full episode to explore these themes in depth and discover how supported decision making can profoundly impact individual autonomy and empowerment.

An Intimacy of Equals (1996) edited by Lillian Mohin discussed by Sheila Jeffreys, 26 July 2026

Today we talked about the necessity of repentance to truly be saved. We also discussed how true repentance looks in the life of the believer when we first come to the Lord and also as a discipline throughout our walk with. Christ. We taught out of Luke 13:1-9 and John 9. Open your Bibles and follow along.

In this episode of Case Studies, the tables turn. Casey sits in the guest chair for the first time in 150 episodes, interviewed by his friend, Dan Snow. Casey opens up about building equity in Vivint before its sale to Blackstone at age 27, his late-in-life ADHD diagnosis, and the morning rituals, cold plunges, and Harvard executive education that keep him grounded.The conversation moves through faith, fatherhood, and the myth of the overnight success. Drawing on lessons from 150 interviews, Casey argues that success is never linear; it's messy, and that's what makes it human. He reflects on money as a magnifier, the difference between character and competency, and why progress, not comfort, equals happiness. Casey also speaks candidly about his marriage to Chelsea Baugh, twenty-two years of deliberate work behind a partnership that looks effortless from the outside. It's an unusually personal conversation about identity, discipline, and what it actually takes to build a life worth admiring.[00:00] Money as a Magnifier[01:22] Turning the Mirror on Casey[02:25] Why He Asks About Childhood[03:46] Discovering His ADHD[06:21] Dropping the H-Bomb[07:56] From Door-to-Door to Financial Independence[09:58] Early Wins That Built Confidence[15:00] Building the Morning Rituals[16:15] Cold Plunge as Courage Practice[20:41] Success Is Never Linear[32:23] Getting Hit in the Eye[38:30] Circle of Control vs. Concern[44:27] Advice for a Newly Rich 27-Year-OldThe information in this communication is provided for informational purposes only and does not constitute investment advice, a recommendation, or a solicitation to invest in any fund or security.

Was the identification of Nero Caesar with 666 built on a convenient modern theory—or does first-century archaeology confirm the calculation?In this episode, Jay Rogers examines the Murabba'at papyrus, an ancient Aramaic commercial document that preserves the spelling Neron Kaisar, the exact form of Nero's name that produces 666 when calculated through Hebrew gematria.Rather than relying on speculation, this evidence comes directly from the world in which Revelation was written.Jay explores the archaeological discoveries from the Judean Desert, the significance of the 666 and 616 manuscript traditions, and why the spelling of Nero's imperial title matters for understanding the Beast of Revelation. He also addresses common objections and demonstrates how historical evidence strengthens the case that John's original audience would have immediately recognized the reference.If Revelation was written in the first century, the number 666 may not point to a distant future ruler at all—but to a persecuting emperor already known throughout the Roman world.

Good teaching is powerful, but it can also hide a trap: when a class goes well, we assume the design must be strong. Jackie unpacks a common myth in instructional design and education that shows up everywhere from K-12 to corporate training and higher ed: good teaching equals good instructional design. They're connected, but they're not the same job, and confusing them can leave gaps in practice, assessment, accessibility, and real-world performance.We talk through why this belief has lasted so long, especially because teaching is the most visible part of learning while instructional design happens behind the scenes. Jackie breaks down what designers actually do: analyze learner needs, clarify measurable goals, sequence content, build practice, plan feedback, choose tools, design assessments, and evaluate whether the learning experience worked. That work becomes even more critical in online learning, blended learning, self-paced courses, and scalable training where an instructor cannot adjust everything in real time.You'll leave with a concrete “myth reset” and a simple review process you can run on one course, lesson, module, or training: What should learners be able to do by the end? Where do they practice? How will they get feedback? How does the assessment connect to the goal? What support is built in before learners get stuck? Pick one improvement and bring teaching and design together with intention.If this helps you rethink your next learning experience, subscribe, share the show with a colleague, and leave a review so more instructional designers and educators can find it.

Brandon Sedloff and David Weisburd explore the hidden psychology behind venture capital fundraising and LP decision-making on The Distribution. Weisburd, co-founder of Weisburd Pierce and host of How I Invest, shares insights from hundreds of conversations with institutional allocators managing over 10 trillion dollars in assets. The discussion reveals why LP incentives often diverge from traditional performance metrics, how career risk shapes investment behavior, and why media has become a structural advantage in private markets. They discuss: - Why LPs use a "double gated" diligence process that most GPs misunderstand - How the average pension CIO tenure of 6.1 years creates rational but seemingly counterintuitive investment patterns - Why elite Ivy League endowments are shifting away from blind pool funds toward direct investments and SPVs - The mechanics of anchor investor psychology and momentum in fundraising - How media functions as a network effect business and relationship-building tool at scale This episode offers a practical framework for understanding how capital allocation decisions actually get made in venture and private markets. Topics: (00:00:00) - Intro (00:02:32) - David's immigrant journey and first ventures (00:04:16) - Starting the How I Invest podcast (00:05:29) - Growing up poor and the mindset it created (00:08:06) - The stamp of approval from elite institutions (00:11:32) - From Tuck to 10x Capital (00:14:08) - What is a media-driven venture firm (00:17:00) - Why media is a moat in venture capital (00:20:28) - Advice for GPs on podcast guesting (00:23:03) - The psychology of elite listening (00:27:25) - Theory of mind and the LP LLM (00:29:09) - The rational irrationality of LP behavior (00:43:00) - Themes guiding capital allocation (00:49:05) - Advice for GPs and LPs (00:51:41) - Outro Speaker Profiles:   Brandon Sedloff     LinkedIn — https://www.linkedin.com/in/bsedloff/     Website — https://brandonsedloff.substack.com/     Juniper Square - https://www.junipersquare.com/   David Weisburd     LinkedIn — https://www.linkedin.com/in/dweisburd/     Twitter / X — https://x.com/DWeisburd     Weisburd Capital — https://www.weisburdpierce.com/ Podcasts:   How I Invest — https://howiinvestpodcast.com/episodes

Diligence Equals Suddenly - Rob Moses - Wednesday Evening 07-15-26

www.marktreichel.comhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/mark-treichel/Credit union acquisition activity in 2026 tells a story the headline numbers hide. Only four or five bank purchases have been announced so far this year — but according to Michael Bell of Honigman LLP, that is not a slowdown. It is a market in which banks are bidding more aggressively than ever, and credit unions are losing more bids than they win. Bell argues that outcome is actually evidence against the banking-lobby claim that credit unions overpay and compete unfairly: if credit unions were routinely overpaying, they would not be finishing in second place on roughly ten strong bids in the last few months.Mark Treichel talks with Bell and his Honigman partner Justin Gingerich about the full range of credit union non-organic growth: whole-bank purchases, bank branch deals, and — newer — the acquisition of mature CUSOs by large credit unions bringing services in-house. They dig into state-level friction, including Washington State's tax law that Bell says has raised zero revenue while shutting down credit union bidding there and depressing bank valuations, and the parallel dynamic in Tennessee.The conversation turns to the biggest shift of all: credit union to credit union mergers of equals (MOEs). For most of Bell's 23-year career these barely happened. Now he is having new MOE conversations weekly, and once a letter of intent is signed, roughly eight of ten close. Gingerich walks through the Wings/Ent transaction — a merger creating an institution north of $10 billion that won NCUA approval in four to five months, a timeline he calls unheard of — and credits Honigman regulatory partner Brandy Bruyere for navigating a process he describes as “baking a cake when the recipe is only half written.”Treichel adds the regulator's view: NCUA honors the democratic member-vote process when disclosures are sound, and with roughly 30% fewer staff after retirements, deal teams are effectively re-educating the agency as volume rises. The takeaway from both guests: strategic non-organic growth is now a mainstream lever for institutions building 2027 strategy — and sticking your head in the sand is not a strategy.

Why you should listenJim Marascio runs Equals 11 with roughly 30 direct team members, yet delivers Salesforce work with on-demand access to more than 600 certified engineers. He breaks down the exact staffing partnerships in LATAM and Europe that let a lean business play far larger than its headcount.Learn how to move up the value chain from tactical delivery to consultative "what if" conversations: the shift that raises deal value, creates more interesting work for your engineers, and turns you into the trusted advisor a client cannot swap out.Get Jim's front-end planning approach (milestones, definition of done, clear ownership, agreed success metrics) that keeps projects out of the 40% of implementations that stall on activity without results.You want to take on bigger Salesforce work, but every larger project means hiring people you cannot afford to keep on the bench, so you stay stuck delivering most of it yourself. In this episode, I talk with Jim Marascio from Equals 11, who spent 25 years as a CIO and CTO of SaaS companies before building a delivery business that runs on a lean core team and plays far larger than its size. We get into the moment he stopped being the tactical fix-it vendor waiting for clients to define the problem, and started becoming the strategic partner clients build their roadmap around. Jim also puts a number on it: roughly 40% of implementations break, and the difference between the ones that deliver and the ones that stall comes down to what you do in the first week. If you are the owner doing too much of the delivery and you want to grow capacity without betting the business on payroll, this conversation is your blueprint.About Jim MarascioJim Marascio is the founder and CEO of Equals 11, a certified Salesforce consulting partner that helps mid-market companies get real value from Salesforce long after go-live. With more than 25 years as a CEO, CIO, and CTO, he has built his career managing distributed teams, and today Equals 11 pairs a lean core team with a network of 600+ certified Salesforce engineers across the US, Latin America, and Europe. Guided by the belief in its name, 1 + 1 = 11, Jim has grown the firm from tactical delivery into strategic, consultative work for direct clients and system integrators alike.Resources and LinksEquals 11 Jim Marascio on LinkedInSalesforce AgentforceClaudeNeed help with your WHO and WHAT decisions?

For nonprofits that want to grow their impact, being invisible is not an option. In a crowded, distracted landscape where donors and funders are overwhelmed with messages, nonprofits that fail to show up clearly and consistently are being passed over for those that communicate with intention. In today's episode, Russ interviews Jenn DeBarge Goonan to discuss how a clear, strategic communications approach can keep your organization top-of-mind with the people who matter most. Tune in to find out exactly how much a lack of visibility might be costing your nonprofit in lost funding, credibility, and momentum.

Online presence — Your website is easy to find and built for how people actually search. That means SEO and AEO (optimized for AI search tools like ChatGPT). 2. Ongoing media attention — Industry trade, local press, national coverage. Third-party coverage is your street cred. It signals you're legit and worth funding. 3. Thought leadership — Your CEO or executive director needs to be out there. Podcasts, conferences, speaking engagements, LinkedIn. Push the person forward, not just the org. 4. Consistent social media — You can't go dark for 3-5 months. Out of sight, out of mind,  especially with donors and partners. 5. Ecosystem partnerships — What associations, coalitions, or organizations are you connected to? Who you run with signals whether you should be taken seriously at the table.

America loses its identity when it loses its story, and this conversation gets straight to the point. In this episode of The Smith and Rowland Show, Jeff Rowland and Alan Smith talk about biblical literacy, replacement theology, anti-Semitism, and why the Bible matters to the health of a nation. They connect current events, church teaching, and public policy to one central issue, whether people still understand the story that shaped America and the biblical view of Israel. The discussion starts with a look at an article on national identity, then moves into the dangers of replacing history with a new narrative. The conversation also touches on New York politics, the rise of anti-Israel rhetoric, and the wider impact of teaching that weakens the church's view of Scripture. Jeff and Alan make the case that when the church loses clarity, the culture follows. They also talk about why dispensational Bible teaching matters, why understanding Scripture is different from simply memorizing it, and why the parable of the sower points to more than just hearing the Word. Growth comes with understanding, and that point drives the whole episode. If you care about biblical truth, the future of the church, and the connection between Scripture and national identity, this episode is worth your time. Watch, listen, and judge the argument for yourself. #TheSmithAndRowlandShow #BiblicalIdentity #DispensationalTruth #BibleTeaching #ChristianPodcast

In this Midweek, Pastor Steve Perez explores the spiritual journey of believers, drawing parallels with the journey of Israel from Egypt to Canaan. He emphasizes the importance of understanding the process of spiritual growth, the role of leadership in the Christian community, and the struggles with rebellion and self-will that believers face. The lesson culminates in the significance of identity and community in Christ, urging believers to live holy lives as a reflection of their faith. In this lesson, Pastor Perez discusses the importance of maintaining a strong faith without compromise, the shift towards a visitor-centric church culture, and the necessity of embracing leadership and responsibility within the Christian community. He emphasizes the journey from spiritual slavery to sonship, urging believers to mature in their faith and actively serve God. The conversation concludes with a call to action for individuals to reflect on their responsibilities and contributions to the church and community.Pastor Steve Perez | June 23, 2026The Fountain Apostolic ChurchSOW (2026)Learn more at tfachurch.com/plusChapters:Introduction (00:00:00)Tyranny as Slavery (00:04:25)Hierarchy as Community (00:12:18)Individualism as Rebellion (00:22:09)Identity as Equals (00:30:55)All as Leaders (00:43:08)Conclusion (00:49:47)

You are settling into your new country, and just starting to get the swing of things, with exciting travel plans with your partner on the horizon.

The New Discourses Podcast with James Lindsay, Ep. 205 Where did Communism really come from? Did it originate with Karl Marx? Is it... "Jewish"? The answers to these latter questions are no. Communism arose out of a combination of German idealism and French socialism, and the first documents on the subject were composed in France. In fact, not only that, the first revolutionary Communist was a Frenchman as well, Francois-Noel "Gracchus" Babeuf, who derived many of his ideas for communist life from an obscure French thinker and tax official named Etienne-Gabriel Morelly. Morelly wrote a tract called The Code of Nature (https://www.marxists.org/subject/utopian/morelly/code-nature.htm ) in 1755 outlining what we recognize today as Communism. Babeuf took these ideas and tried to install them through his "Conspiracy of the Equals," which had a manifesto, "The Manifesto of Equals," (https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/sylvain-marechal-manifesto-of-equals) written by his collaborator Sylvain Marechal in 1796. In this episode of the New Discourses Podcast, host James Lindsay takes you through these documents and makes it abundantly clear that the Communist Manifesto Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels wrote in 1848 had these ideas at their core. Join him to learn the true origins of Communism.

In an exploration of Al-Anon's second tradition, Spencer and Michele engage in a thoughtful discussion about the principles and personal growth experienced through this tradition. Tradition Two states, “For our group purpose, there is but one authority—a loving God as He may express Himself in our group conscience. Our leaders are but trusted servants; they...

Saint Constantine was born in 272, the son of Constantius Chlorus, ruler of the western part of the Roman Empire, and St Helen. When his father died in 306 he was proclaimed successor to the throne. The empire was ruled at that time by several Caesars, each with his own territory. When Constantine learned that the Caesars Maxentius and Maximinus had joined against him, he marched on Italy. It was there that, on the eve of a decisive battle outside Rome, he saw in the sky a radiant Cross with the words "In this sign conquer." He ordered that a battle-standard be made bearing the image of a cross and inscribed with the Name of Jesus Christ. The following day he and his forces attacked and won a spectacular victory. He entered Rome in triumph and in 312 was proclaimed "Emperor of the West" by the Senate. (His brother-in-law Licinius ruled in the East.) Soon thereafter he issued his "Edict of Milan," whereby Christianity was officially tolerated for the first time, and persecution of Christians ceased. (Many believe, mistakenly, that the Edict made Christianity the only legal religion; in fact, it proclaimed freedom of religion throughout the Empire).   Licinius, though he pretended to accept the Edict, soon began persecuting Christians in his domain. In response, Constantine fought and defeated him in 324, becoming sole Emperor of the entire Roman Empire. In 324 he laid the foundations of a new capital in the town of Byzantium; in 330 he inaugurated the new capital city, naming it "New Rome" and "Constantinople." In 325 he called the First Ecumenical Council at Nicea, attending its sessions himself. Shortly before his repose in 337, he received Holy Baptism; he died on Holy Pentecost, at the age of sixty-five, and was interred in the Church of the Holy Apostles in Constantinople.   St Constantine's holy mother Helen, in her role as "Augusta" of the Empire, founded countless churches. She traveled to Jerusalem and found the True Cross on which the Lord was crucified. In the Holy Land she established churches at the sites of Christ's Nativity and burial, which still stand today in much-modified form. She died at about eighty years of age.

1. Military Morale and Leadership U.S. military morale has significantly strengthened by a commander-in-chief who is willing to risk substantial resources to rescue a single American service member. Trump is contrasted against Clinton (Somalia), Obama (Libya), and Biden (Afghanistan), portraying those administrations as failing to protect troops. The U.S. military ethos: soldiers fight aggressively because they trust that medics, rescue forces, and leadership will risk everything to save them. 2. U.S. Military Culture and “Quiet Math of American Violence” Highlight inter-service respect (Marines, Navy corpsmen, Air Force PJs). American combat effectiveness comes not just from training or equipment, but from certainty that help will arrive under fire, reinforcing battlefield courage. 3. Trump’s Iran Policy and Deterrence Strategy Trump’s foreign policy is: “FAFO” (forceful consequences for aggression) Transactional with allies (support is conditional) Infrastructure strikes are: Intended to cripple military and economic capability Designed to pressure the population to overthrow the regime A deliberate choice not to destroy oil infrastructure to preserve post‑conflict recovery potential 4. War Crimes Accusations and Legal Defense Democrats and media figures are labeling infrastructure strikes as “war crimes.” This is countered by citing the Pentagon’s Law of War Manual, arguing that power generation and infrastructure supporting military operations can be lawful military objectives. 5. View of Iranian Leadership Iran’s rulers are theocratic extremists who: Do not care about civilian suffering Are willing to sacrifice large portions of their population Doubts are expressed about whether economic devastation would deter or influence regime behavior. 6. Immigration and Violent Crime Violent crimes committed by undocumented immigrants are widespread and underreported Democratic policies (sanctuary cities, TPS, opposition to ICE) directly enabled these crimes Several specific criminal cases argue that border enforcement failures have led to American deaths.
