Niels Kaastrup-Larsen and Nick Baltas explore how artificial intelligence, thematic investing and narrative momentum are beginning to reshape systematic investing. Alongside a review of recent CTA performance, they discuss new research on expanding trend following universes, defensive portfolio construction and portable alpha before taking a deep dive into the growing role of AI and thematic risk models. The conversation examines whether future investment signals may come from more than price alone and how systematic investors can combine traditional trend following with new sources of information without losing the discipline that has defined the strategy for decades.-----50 YEARS OF TREND FOLLOWING BOOK AND BEHIND-THE-SCENES VIDEO FOR ACCREDITED INVESTORS - CLICK HERE-----Follow Niels on Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube or via the TTU website.IT's TRUE ? – most CIO's read 50+ books each year – get your FREE copy of the Ultimate Guide to the Best Investment Books ever written here.And you can get a free copy of my latest book “Ten Reasons to Add Trend Following to Your Portfolio” here.Learn more about the Trend Barometer here.Send your questions to info@toptradersunplugged.comAnd please share this episode with a like-minded friend and leave an honest Rating & Review on iTunes or Spotify so more people can discover the podcast.Follow Nick on Twitter.Episode TimeStamps:00:00 - AI, memories and the changing pace of innovation06:32 - How investment firms are integrating artificial intelligence13:01 - CTA performance and the trend following environment20:34 - Expanding the market universe for trend followers28:17 - Building the perfect hedge with trend following34:25 - Portable alpha and leveraging trend strategies37:44 - Introducing thematic investing and missing factors44:59 - How narratives create momentum in financial markets50:43 - Measuring thematic strength versus price momentum58:41 - Can thematic investing be backtested?01:04:14 - Are narratives really different from traditional sectors?01:07:06 - Final thoughts on AI, research and the future of systematic investingCopyright © 2025 – CMC AG – All Rights Reserved----PLUS: Whenever you're ready... here are 3 ways I can help you in your investment Journey:1. eBooks that cover key topics that you need to know about In my eBooks, I put together some key discoveries and things I have learnt during the more than 3 decades I have worked in the Trend Following industry, which I hope you will find useful.

The guys answer a few texts, which get them to dive deeper into the rabbit hole of Warde Manuel's tenure at Michigan.

Most machine shop owners spend twenty years learning the lesson Stone figured out before he turned 21: get great at one thing, and say no to almost everything else. He bought his first CNC at 15 to make knife handles, started taking billable work at 19, and now runs a precision shop in North Phoenix that goes after the tight-tolerance medical work a lot of shops won't touch. This one is part of our GenCNC series, and our co-host Nush, who's part of this generation herself, jumps in with the questions the rest of us wish we'd asked at that age. We get into how he actually built it: growing on cash flow and machine loans instead of outside investors, learning to program after hours with a tool and die mentor, and figuring out how to price work when you're brand new and have no idea what the market will bear. Stone's edge isn't a secret process. It's consistency, a refusal to send anything out of spec, and a willingness to take on parts he doesn't yet know how to make. He's also refreshingly honest about the parts nobody posts. The crashes, the jobs that go sideways, the days the whole thing feels like it's crumbling. His answer is mentors, a tight network of shop owners who actually pick up the phone, and the discipline to keep the lows from getting too low. Whether you're thinking about starting a shop or you've run one for thirty years, there's something here. Know where to spend money and where not to. Build a small team of people you can pay well. And find the niche where being excellent actually pays. That's making chips.

We're closing out the season with something different: a multidisciplinary breakdown of episode six of Heated Rivalry. Not a recap. Not a fan theory session. A real conversation about what the show gets right — and what it gets wrong — about male performance anxiety, queer identity, female arousal physiology, and the stories we tell ourselves about our own bodies.To be clear: this isn't about hockey. It's about what happens when good storytelling accidentally becomes a teaching moment for sexual health.What We CoverPerformance anxiety isn't in your head — it's in your nerves, arteries, and muscles. Erectile function is vascular and neurological before it's psychological. Medication, alcohol, dehydration, stress — all of it shows up in the body before it shows up in the bedroom. We break down why "just relax" is the least useful advice you can give a man who's struggling, and what's actually happening physiologically when performance doesn't match desire.Shane's coming out arc, and why identity evolution isn't linear. The show doesn't hand Shane a clean, tidy arc — and that's the point. We talk about how culture, family history, and internalized norms shape the timeline of coming out, and why real identity work rarely looks like the movie version.Communication is the actual plot device. Underneath the hockey, the drama, the trauma — the show works because the characters eventually say the thing. We talk about why authentic communication is the real special effect in any story about intimacy, on screen or off.Behind the scenes: setting, production choices, small details you'd miss on a first watch — and yes, a detour into tentacle erotica as a case study in how sexual expression keeps evolving in media, and why that's worth understanding rather than dismissing.Key TakeawaysErectile response is biological first, emotional second — treat it that way.Female arousal physiology doesn't disappear at menopause; it changes, and imaging confirms it.Coming out stories are shaped by context, not just courage.Good storytelling about sex requires vulnerability, not perfection.Expanding your sexual literacy — even through fiction — is part of the work.You are not broken. Your body isn't broken. And apparently, neither is prestige TV's ability to sneak real sex ed into a hockey drama.Season two, see you soon.— KellySubscribe, leave a review, and share this episode with someone who needs it.

For many U.S. retail startups, expanding international distribution is the ultimate goal to establish themselves as a truly global brand. In the era of digital storefronts and globalized social media presence, selling a product in foreign countries could pay off exponentially. But betting on this global growth means navigating all the friction that cross-border retail can bring.  Bloom Nutrition, which has been growing its energy drink line over the past year, is launching in multiple foreign markets that include Australia, France and the U.K.   Joel Contartese, the vp of global growth at Bloom Nutrition, joins the Modern Retail Podcast to discuss the advantages and challenges of distributing beverages in other countries. In this interview, he discusses: Why the beverage startup is betting on international consumers for longterm growth.  Navigating ingredient regulations in the European Union and South America, which differ greatly from the U.S.  Learning to tweak branding and flavors to localize for each international market.

What if the very thing you've been hiding is the key to unlocking everything you want? In this episode, Lacy and Jessica explore a gentler chapter of manifestation: one rooted in authenticity, self-trust, and coming home to who you truly are. They share updates from the Be Seen Challenge and unpack the subtle ways we hide: people-pleasing, over-explaining, perfectionism, and chasing external validation. True visibility isn't about being louder or more performative — it's about feeling safe enough to own your desires, trust your intuition, and let your authentic self become your strongest signal. Plus, they answer listener questions on confidence, manifestation tests, relationship shadows, finances, and embodying the liberating “f*ck it” energy that comes from truly trusting yourself.

These early steps in the residential development process play a major role in determining housing costs and availability.  Jay Knight, chairman and co-founder of the Georgia Residential Land Development Council (GRLDC) joins Host Carol Morgan on Atlanta Real Estate Forum Radio to discuss how Senate Bill 447 is changing Georgia’s permitting process and what policy reforms could make housing more attainable for future homebuyers.  Housing Affordability Begins Long Before Construction  GRLDC was founded after several competing developers recognized they were facing the same challenges within Georgia's residential land development process. By joining forces, members created a unified voice to advocate for policy reforms that address industrywide barriers.  Senate Bill 447 Brings Predictability to Permitting  One of GRLDC’s first major initiatives resulted in Senate Bill 447, legislation designed to improve accountability and consistency in land disturbance permit reviews. The law does not change engineering standards or limit municipal oversight. Instead, it establishes a more predictable timeline for completing reviews.  Permit approvals that once stretched nearly a year could now move through the process in just over 10 weeks, helping bring finished lots to market faster and increasing housing supply.  Permitting reform also requires greater collaboration from all parties involved. Developers and engineers must submit more complete plans, while municipalities have clearer expectations for review timelines.  “It raises the level of performance on the developer and the engineer. It also creates some accountability for the municipality,” said Knight.  How Development Delays Increase Home Costs  Although permitting reform marks an important milestone, Knight believes additional opportunities exist to lower housing costs before construction begins. GRLDC’s next priority is reforming final plat recording and bonding processes. Lengthy administrative delays after construction is complete can leave millions of dollars tied up in development loans, increasing carrying costs that eventually reach homebuyers.   “The buyer ends up paying $15,000 more for the house with no benefits whatsoever,” said Knight.  Eliminating unnecessary delays could reduce home prices by thousands of dollars while improving affordability across the market.  Defining Affordable Housing in Georgia  The conversation around affordable housing also requires a clearer definition of what affordability means. Rather than focusing solely on government programs or subsidies, affordability should be measured by whether essential workers can realistically purchase homes in the communities where they live and work.  “The definition of an affordable house is what your municipal employee can afford to purchase,” said Knight.  Expanding housing options requires the ability to build homes that align with what Georgia families can realistically afford. However, local regulations and development requirements can sometimes make lower-cost housing difficult to deliver.  Working alongside local and state home builders associations, GRLDC hopes to create a more efficient residential development process while expanding housing opportunities for Georgia families.  To learn more about GRLDC, visit https://grldc.org/.   About Georgia Residential Land Development Council (GRLDC)  The Georgia Residential Land Development Council (GRLDC) is a coalition of leading developers, builders and industry stakeholders dedicated to improving land development and permitting processes across Georgia. The organization advocates for policies that increase housing supply, streamline regulations and promote responsible growth. By working collaboratively with policymakers and industry partners, GRLDC advances solutions that help ensure Georgia can meet current and future housing demand.  Click here for more GRLDC news.

"Everyone gets cancer five times a day — your body already knows how to take care of it." Sam Bertram is the co-founder and CEO of OnePointOne, the vertical-farming company behind the Willo brand. With his brother John (CTO), Sam is building fully automated indoor farms — powered by AutoStore robotics, AI, and precision LED light — that grow nutrient-dense produce in about 15 days, with no soil and no sunlight. But the vision goes far beyond salad: using plants as living factories to manufacture pharmaceutical-grade molecules (like monoclonal antibodies) at a fraction of today's cost, and eventually "closing the loop" on human nutrition — food grown to your own blood work. *Reduce your risk of Alzheimer's with my science-backed protocol for women 30+: * https://go.neuroathletics.com.au/yout...

The mass proliferation of Flock cameras and other means of state spying has slowly inaugurated an era characterized by the most dense concentration of surveillance experienced in human history. Over the past two decades the US has witnessed the development of an integrated public-private surveillance apparatus where the outputs of dozens of integrated private surveillance tools are allowed to be cross-referenced using AI facilitated analysis.In this episode we speak with Joan and Jeff about the proliferation of Flock systems, their roll in a growing mass surveillance apparatus, some of the actions that are being taken to fight back, and how to support those that have fallen into the clutches of the state. We review the growth of the police in the US from their origins in slave patrols and private police agencies to today, where they are a force tens of thousands strong, with military capabilities, and their hands on a mass privatized surveillance apparatus. Finally we discuss the role direct action can play in public campaigns against Flock and other surveillance systems.A fundraiser is active to support two comrades who were sentenced to months in jail for being accused of destroying multiple flock cameras. The fundraiser is going toward restitution, court fees, lawyer fees, commissary, postage and writing supplies, medical fees, phone time, etc., and a cushion for recovering from jail and solitary confinement when they are released.

When cash flow gets tight, most practice owners look at revenue first. But one of the biggest drains on your cash may already be sitting on your shelves. Excess inventory doesn't just take up space—it ties up working capital, increases expiration risk, and quietly chips away at your margins.  In this episode, I break down why inventory management deserves more attention in your financial strategy and share practical ways to manage injectables, retail skincare, and consumables more effectively. Small changes in how you purchase, track, and replenish inventory can have a meaningful impact on your cash reserves and overall profitability.  Buying More Inventory Doesn't Always Save You Money  Bulk discounts can be tempting, but they're not always the best financial decision. Purchasing more product than you can realistically use may lower your cost per unit, but it also locks up cash that could be used for payroll, marketing, or other growth opportunities.  Inventory should support your practice—not compete with it for cash. Before placing a large order, consider your usage rate, seasonality, payment terms, and how quickly that inventory will actually generate revenue.  Every Product Category Needs a Different Strategy  Not all inventory should be managed the same way. Injectables, retail skincare, and everyday consumables each serve a different purpose in your practice and carry different levels of financial risk. Creating category-specific inventory strategies helps improve cash flow, reduce waste, and ensure you're investing in products that support both patient demand and long-term profitability.  Establish inventory par levels for injectables, retail skincare, and consumables  Track inventory turnover and usage by provider  Monitor expiration dates, shrinkage, spoilage, and waste  Assign one team member ownership of inventory reconciliation  Adjust purchasing based on seasonal demand instead of automatic reordering  Negotiate flexible payment terms with vendors whenever possible  Make sure every product on your shelves has a purpose. When you consistently monitor inventory levels and adjust purchasing decisions based on real usage, you free up cash, protect your margins, and create a more efficient operation.  04:00 Managing inventory responsibilities  07:31 Managing Inventory and Cash Flow  11:19 Tracking inventory and usage metrics  15:47 Upselling and Packaging Services  16:52 Managing inventory and pricing strategy Good Inventory Data Leads to Better Financial Decisions  Inventory counts should do more than confirm what's on the shelf. They should tell you how inventory is moving through the practice and whether it's contributing to healthy cash flow.  When you regularly review inventory tracking alongside your financial reports, it's much easier to identify underutilized inventory, margin loss, or products that aren't generating the return you expected. That visibility allows you to make adjustments before small issues become expensive ones.  Cash Should Keep Working for Your Business  As your med spa grows, inventory becomes more than an operational task—it becomes a strategic financial decision. Expanding locations, hiring providers, investing in new technology, or building cash reserves all require liquidity. Every dollar tied up in excess inventory is a dollar that can't be invested elsewhere.  Practices that scale successfully understand how to balance inventory levels with demand. They know what products generate revenue, what products move slowly, and when it's worth negotiating better payment terms instead of purchasing more inventory. Managing inventory with intention doesn't just protect margins—it creates the financial flexibility needed to grow with confidence.  Follow Shannon & Keep What You Earn:   Shannon Weinstein is the founder of a fractional CFO firm specializing in helping 7-figure aesthetics and wellness practices scale with clarity, cash flow, and confidence.  Shannon is committed to helping med spa owners understand, fix, and maximize their business's enterprise value, offering actionable advice and resources, including a popular free video series specifically for aesthetics practice owners.  Connect with Shannon:  Fractional CFO Services and Executive Financial Review: https://www.keepwhatyouearn.com/  Connect with Shannon: https://www.linkedin.com/in/shannonweinstein  Watch full episodes: https://www.youtube.com/@KeepWhatYouEarn  Listen on your favorite podcast app: https://pod.link/1580071347  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/shannonkweinstein/  The information shared is for educational purposes only and is not individualized financial advice.

In this fan favorite episode of Design Business Freedom, I'm sharing one of the most powerful shifts interior designers can make to increase their profits, attract affluent clients, and elevate the perceived value of their work. You'll learn how one simple word choice can sabotage your interior design business profitability and how to replace limiting language with the language of luxury. The core lesson in this episode is that words define your worth and your world. By shifting from words like "expensive," "budget," "cost," and "free" to language rooted in investment, value, exclusivity, and transformation, you can change how clients experience your recommendations, your fees, and the long-term ROI of interior design. In This Episode You Will Learn: How to identify the one word that may be sabotaging your interior design profits Why affluent clients respond better to "investment" than "cost," "spend," or "budget" How to use the language of luxury to increase client confidence and project value Why Design Business Freedom listeners need to shift pricing language personally and professionally How to position interior design as a short-term investment with long-term ROI While one word can truly grow your profits, mastering more will lead to a full business and personal transformation. Get them all in my book "The Language of Success: 35 Words to Boost Your Worth and Wealth". You'll be pleasantly surprised at the effectiveness of these word swaps and the increased confidence you'll feel in business and life.  Timestamps: (00:00) Welcome to this Design Business Freedom fan favorite (01:27) Introducing the language of luxury and worth (02:59) Why changing word choices can feel difficult (04:46) How language reflects possibility, potential, and affluence (06:26) Words to eliminate from client conversations (07:31) Why "expensive" creates a limiting belief (08:44) The framing story that erased "expensive" (12:29) Cheap, affordable, and other limiting labels (14:04) Why "budget" is the dreaded B word (16:25) Replacing spend and cost with investment language (20:14) How to respond when clients say expensive (23:39) Why free has less value than complimentary (25:01) Luxury words every designer should adopt (29:23) Expanding your vendor comfort zone strategically (34:44) Positioning design as long-term ROI and transformation Key Takeaways: The word "expensive" labels value negatively before the client can fully understand it.

#435 In this podcast episode, Guy talked with Jeffrey Stegman and Clayten Stedmann about consciousness fields and how the energy of places, people, and past events could influence human thoughts, emotions, and well-being. They explained how their FLFE technology had been designed to create higher-consciousness environments that supported personal growth, healing, forgiveness, improved relationships, and reduced anxiety. The conversation explored the Hawkins Map of Consciousness, muscle testing, plant studies, EMF mitigation research, and the reported effects of raising the energetic quality of homes, businesses, events, and mobile environments. Jeffrey and Clayten also shared how the technology had evolved from Nikola Tesla-inspired experiments and quantum connections into a worldwide service used across more than 90 countries. They concluded by discussing humanity's changing level of consciousness, their hope for global progress, and ways listeners could personally experiment with the technology through a free trial. About Jeffrey: Jeffrey Stegman has dedicated his career to fostering high-consciousness culture in his businesses, reflecting his spiritual journey. Prior to FLFE, he owned two multi-generational manufacturing businesses, one in operation since 1835. FLFE embodies Jeffrey's blend of manufacturing, engineering, business, and spiritual evolution. Jeffrey has constantly been in the FLFE bubble since the beginning and it supports him in many ways. He has been experimenting with long meditations with extended boosts (time of extra high consciousness) and loving it. He is looking forward to bringing this to the FLFE community. About Clayten: Clayten Stedmann has been in the education, training, and coaching industry since 1984. Expanding his career into professional coaching in 1995, he worked with business people, from solopreneurs to Fortune 500 executives, focusing on those individuals who considered business as a spiritual path. In 2004 he discovered Consciousness Kinesiology (CK) and paired this tool with the skills he developed as a coach in his role as Co-Founder of FLFE.  Key Points Discussed:  (00:00) - The Invisible Forces Affecting Your Mind, Body & Consciousness!

Have you ever known deep down that something in your life needed to change, but felt completely terrified to take the leap? This week, Jessica sits down with entrepreneur, content creator, and founder of Boxwood Avenue, Chloe Legras, to explore the transformational journey of trusting yourself enough to take aligned action even when fear and discomfort loom large. Chloe shares how a picture-perfect life on the outside masked a growing sense of misalignment within, and how years of inner work eventually led her to make one of the hardest decisions of her life: leaving a marriage, rebuilding from the ground up, and following a lifelong dream to move to France. Together, they unpack the realities of navigating uncertainty, healing childhood wounds, distinguishing intuition from fear, and learning to trust yourself without having complete certainty. This episode is a powerful reminder that your dreams are often waiting on the other side of the leap you've been afraid to take—and that you already have everything you need within you to begin. This conversation also beautifully mirrors the deeper work of becoming visible, authentic, and magnetic, which is exactly what we're exploring in the Be Seen Challenge.

Midsummer in the Northern hemisphere marks the dead of winter in Antarctica, usually a time when temperatures plunge and the surrounding ocean ices over, nearly doubling the continent's size. But this June, scientists found Antarctica's west coast was missing a chunk of sea ice the size of France. How unusually warm ocean water is affecting sea ice as well as massive Antarctic glaciers. Also, recent findings that peatlands are expanding northward as the Arctic warms might sound like good news, since peat has powerful carbon storage capabilities. But it takes millennia for peat to sequester large amounts of carbon, while we are burning fossil fuels far more quickly than the Earth can absorb. And much of the world's staple crops of corn, wheat, rice and soy are grown in huge monocultures that disrupt ecosystems and require massive amounts of fertilizer, pesticides, fossil fuels and water. The author of ‘Feed Us with Trees: Nuts and the Future of Food' offers a more sustainable vision of food production. She shares how nut trees can offer alternative sources of starch, protein and healthy fats that integrate well into local ecosystems and can help feed a growing population. -- Don't miss the next virtual Living on Earth Book Club event on Tuesday, July 14 at 5 pm PDT / 8 pm EDT! We'll talk with Yurok activist and attorney Amy Bowers Cordalis about how multiple generations of her family have advocated for the protection of Northern California's Klamath River, a crucial habitat for salmon and the lifeblood of the Yurok tribe.
