What if the hardest part of investing isn't building a portfolio—but sticking to it? In this AMA edition of the Rational Reminder podcast, Ben Felix and Dan Bortolotti tackle listener questions ranging from sustainable retirement withdrawals to the dangers of structured products, with plenty of philosophical insights on risk, behavior, and financial planning. The episode opens with a deep dive into the 4% rule, exploring how time horizon, asset allocation, and global data can shift the definition of “safe.” They also explore the behavioral challenges of the “boring middle” of investing and why consistency may be the greatest alpha. Other standout segments include a sharp critique of bank-sold structured notes, an evidence-based takedown of trend following, and a fascinating discussion on the long-term impact of demographic shifts and index investing. Throughout, Ben and Dan blend technical insight with practical wisdom and academic research, delivering a thoughtful and entertaining conversation for both DIY investors and those working with advisors.   Key Points From This Episode: (0:01:07) What the latest data says about safe withdrawal rates, especially for early retirees with 100% equity exposure.

“I'm hopeful for revolution. I'm optimistic. I want radical change. I think there's such a disinterest in education in America that it is sickening. I think we are repeating history. We are going through a cycle of fascism and greed, and I think we're going to see a lot of states collapse. As a result of that, I think people are going to be forced back to their primal needs and concerns, but I think they're going to be forced to think about what makes us human. How do we become more human? Because we've lost that. We've given it up to technology.

The Rap Report dives deep into the essential topic of biblical inerrancy, kicking off with a serious question that hangs in the air: Are there errors in the Bible? Andrew Rapoport, the host, introduces his friend Keith Foskey, known for his humorous takes on various denominations, but today, he brings a weighty discussion on textual criticism. Kieth explores how to trust the Bible as the authentic word of God, touching on the Chicago Statement on Biblical Inerrancy, a pivotal document from the '70s that sought to clarify what inerrancy truly means. This episode is a rich blend of scholarly insight and accessible discussion, making complex theological concepts relatable and engaging for listeners while also maintaining a light-hearted vibe amidst serious discourse. As he unravels the layers of biblical authority and textual transmission, they invite the audience to consider the reliability of Scripture in a world marked by skepticism and varied interpretations.Takeaways: The podcast discusses the importance of biblical inerrancy and how it underpins Christian faith, emphasizing that if the Bible contains errors, it poses a significant problem for believers. Andrew Rapoport introduces Keith Foskey, noting his expertise in textual criticism, which is essential for understanding how we can trust the integrity of biblical texts over time. The Chicago Statement on Biblical Inerrancy, developed in the 70s, serves as a foundational document affirming the Bible's authority and trustworthiness amidst modern skepticism.

The podcast highlights the remarkable preservation of biblical texts, with a wealth of manuscripts that allow scholars to reconstruct what the originals likely stated despite minor variants.

☞ ABOUT THIS MESSAGE Andrew continues the Reformation series, focusing on Nehemiah's rebuilding of Jerusalem's walls after exile. He highlights that while the temple is restored, the walls, representing identity and protection, remain in ruins, reflecting Christians' spiritual battles today. Reformation is a process involving opposition, reliance on the Holy Spirit, and transforming brokenness into testimonies of God's glory. He urges the congregation to identify their struggles, seek renewal, and trust in God's power to turn pain into purpose.   ☞ BIBLE APP NOTES https://www.bible.com/events/49448257   ☞ GROUP LEADER GUIDE https://page.church.tech/97d16c81   ☞ NEXT STEPS

The sermon explores the complexities of divorce and remarriage within a Christian context, challenging conventional interpretations of Jesus' teachings on marriage and adultery. Examining passages from Matthew 5 and 19 alongside Mark and Luke, the discussion questions the common understanding of an "exception clause" and the selective application of biblical standards, highlighting inconsistencies in how the church treats various sins. Ultimately, the message emphasizes the universal nature of sin and the need for grace, urging listeners to confront their own failures and seek redemption rather than engaging in judgmental practices, while acknowledging the difficulty of navigating these sensitive issues and the need for humility in interpreting scripture.

Five years ago, Starbucks stores averaged 23 employees. Cost-cutting has since trimmed that number down to 18 to 19 — four to five fewer workers per location.Howard Schultz says he ‘did a cartwheel' when Starbucks CEO Niccol coined ‘back to Starbucks' strategyNETFLIX: 78% NO Jay Hoag“In accordance with the Company's director resignation policy, Mr. Hoag offered his resignation from the Board, conditioned upon Board acceptance.

Examining government and corporate worker safety data from 266 companies between 2002 to 2011, the trio determined that the number of workplace accidents and injuries tended to be lower at businesses that had higher numbers of women on their boards.Goodliest of the Week (MM/DR):DR: Rubrik's CEO let 800 employees sit in on board meetings — and he says it supercharged the companyFor the first seven to eight years of building the company, Rubrik's CEO opened board meetings to all staff.Bipul Sinha said as many as 800 staff members tuned in to these meetings.The data management firm went public in April 2024 and is worth $19 billion.MM: McDonald's downgraded on GLP-1 drug worries: Wall Street's top analyst calls MMAssholiest of the Week (MM):One story, three asshole options:Texas DRTexas Removes BlackRock From Energy Boycott Blacklist2022: Texas bans local, state government entities from doing business with firms that “boycott” fossil fuels““Our review focused on the boycott of energy companies…”Bills That Could Have Hurt Renewable Energy Die in Texas LegislatureTexas finalizes $1.8B to build solar, battery, and gas-powered microgrids2025: Texas Leads U.S. Renewable Energy Generation by a Country Mile - since 2019, renewable energy has nearly doubled to account for 30% of Texas energyBlackrockTexas Removes BlackRock From Energy Boycott Blacklist“BlackRock does not boycott fossil fuels — investing over $100 billion in Texas energy companies on behalf of our clients proves that.Fink letter to clients in 2020: Our role as a fiduciary is the foundation of BlackRock's culture.

Between evolving customer expectations and pressure from other financial providers, community banks have struggled to maintain relevance in recent years.In today's episode of the Bank Customer Experience Podcast, Bradley Cooper, editor of ATM Marketplace, spoke with Jean-Pierre Lacroix, president of Shikatanai Lacroix Design and Marbue Brown, founder of the Customer Obsession Advantage and a former banker about how community banking is changingWhen looking at challenges community banks face, Lacroix spoke about increased competition"There's a lot more competition today with fintechs and consolidation," he shared in the podcast.Brown agreed, stating many national banks are encroaching on community banks territory through a variety of activities even sponsoring local events."The natural advantage community banks have is being erased," Brown said.The statement points to the power of community banking in general. Lacroix said one of the primary drivers of growth in banks is being able to provide relevant advice and have a strong local presence, whereas simply providing good products reduces loss.Brown and Lacroix also discussed a number of topics related to community banking including:How are big banks coming into community banking spaces?How can employees train using AI?How can financial advice be credible?What role does community involvement play?What does Gen Z want from a branch?What role should the teller take?Listen to the conversation in full above.

In this episode, Dr Tiffany Fairey, Senior Research Fellow at the Department of War Studies, and Dr Pamina Firchow, Associate Professor at Brandeis University, join Professor Rachel Kerr, Professor of War and Society at the Department of War Studies, to delve into their groundbreaking research that uses photography and community-defined indicators to rethink peace from the ground up. To coincide with the large-scale Imaging Peace street exhibition on The Strand and drawing on their work in Colombia, they explore how participatory methods like photovoice and Everyday Peace Indicators empower communities to shape their own visions of peace—challenging traditional research models and transforming peacebuilding practices in the process.

Tom and co-host Drew taking listeners deep into the volatile landscape of American current events, zeroing in on the LA immigration riots that have dominated headlines. With tensions flaring between national and local leadership—Trump pushing for a hardline federal response, Newsom resisting—the conversation explores the patterns of civil unrest and political division that have marked recent American history. Tom and Drew set the stage by wrestling with the disconnect between lived experience on the ground and the dramatized narrative pushed by media and politicians, and they unpack the psychology and historical context that frame our national sense of crisis. Join Tom and Drew as they analyze pattern recognition in societal upheavals, the rise and repetition of riots, and the role that both media and political actors play in stoking societal fear and division. They candidly debate law and order, the line between peaceful protest and violence, and how responses from leadership can either escalate or temper unrest. It's a raw, unfiltered look at American fault lines through the eyes of two thoughtful centrists with sharply different perspectives on what's at stake and where we go from here.

The hosts look at utility functions as the mathematical basis for making AI systems. They use the example of a travel agent that doesn't get tired and can be increased indefinitely to meet increasing customer demand. They also discuss the difference between this structured, economic-based approach with the problems of using large language models for multi-step tasks.This episode is part 2 of our series about building smarter AI agents from the fundamentals. Listen to Part 1 about mechanism design HERE.Show notes:• Discussing the current AI landscape where companies are discovering implementation is harder than anticipated• Introducing the travel agent use case requiring ingestion, reasoning, execution, and feedback capabilities• Explaining why LLMs aren't designed for optimization tasks despite their conversational abilities• Breaking down utility functions from economic theory as a way to quantify user preferences• Exploring concepts like indifference curves and marginal rates of substitution for preference modeling• Examining four cases of utility relationships: independent goods, substitutes, complements, and diminishing returns• Highlighting how mathematical optimization provides explainability and guarantees that LLMs cannot• Setting up for future episodes that will detail the technical implementation of utility-based agentsSubscribe so that you don't miss the next episode. In part 3, Andrew and Sid will explain linear programming and other optimization techniques to build upon these utility functions and create truly personalized travel experiences.What did you think?
