Podcasts about Exposure

Today's guest is Dave Thornton, co-founder & Chief Customer Officer of Vested, which helps startup employees unlock the value in their equity. In today's episode, Dave walks through the messy reality of startup stock options, noting $600 billion of startup equity is abandoned over a market cycle. He explains how Vested helps solve this problem by providing funding to help employees exercise their expiring stock options, in exchange for exposure to a portion of the now-owned shares. Dave also previews Vestimate, a tool to track the fair-market value of your equity over time that's already reducing abandonment, and shares practical takeaways for employees, advisors, and allocators seeking exposure to venture capital.

Don and Tom dig into international investing — why diversification across borders is essential, why timing international markets is a mistake, and how currency fluctuations affect returns. They revisit Japan's lost decades, talk emerging markets, discuss John Bogle's arguments against international investing, and explain why owning all markets all the time makes the most sense. Listener questions cover tax perceptions about California, long-term return comparisons, 401(k) rollover and Rule of 55 withdrawals, and the realities of retiring abroad — including the sticker shock of Guatemala's healthcare spending. 0:04 Should you invest internationally now that foreign markets are rising? 1:29 Morningstar data shows non-U.S. markets doubling U.S. returns in 2025. 2:38 The dollar's weakness as a key factor in performance. 3:20 Mexico, Brazil, Japan, and China's strong year — but should you chase it? 4:02 Market leadership cycles: U.S. vs. international across decades. 4:50 The “1990 Japan” cautionary tale: why timing single markets can disappoint. 6:17 Concentration risk, emerging markets, and why you need global diversification. 7:33 Exposure to global companies you can't get by owning U.S.-only funds. 8:42 Dimensional's chart shows no country wins every year — own them all. 9:40 Addressing the John Bogle “you already own international through U.S. firms” argument. 10:21 Nestlé example: why local economy exposure matters. 12:45 Listener Greg challenges Don's California tax comment — clarification given. 13:45 State tax comparisons, why there's no perfect tax haven. 14:41 New York vs. California tax burdens — where it's worst. 15:30 Listener Tim asks about long-term return periods — Don points to IFA data. 17:40 1,700+ episodes milestone and show longevity banter. 18:30 Listener Jeff's complex retirement accounts and Rule of 55 rollover question. 19:09 Discussion of retiring abroad and health care concerns in Guatemala. 22:20 U.S. health care spending vs. Guatemala — a sobering gap. 23:39 Gallows humor about quick death and end-of-life planning.

Do you ever feel so overwhelmed by a big goal that you back away and settle for “safe”?Here's the truth: in order to succeed, you have to fail more. And you'll have problems either way—so why not live an awesome life? In this episode, Rachel & Greg break down the mindset and method they've used for 23+ years to make bold decisions, face fear, and move forward even when it's scary.You'll learn how to:Flip fear from a stop sign into a signal you're on the right pathUse the “exchange rate” test to decide if a dream is worth the priceShrink overwhelm with step-by-step moves (exposure in bite-sized reps)See how obstacles transform you into the person who can live your dreamAdopt the mantra: “I'll either find a way—or I'll make one.”Bottom line: your fears aren't facts. When you face them strategically, the “impossible” becomes doable—and your life expands.Key Takeaways✅ Overwhelm means growth is near, not that you should quit.✅ Problems are guaranteed; choose the ones that lead to an extraordinary life.✅ Exposure beats avoidance: tiny reps dissolve massive fears.✅ Decide by “exchange rate”: is the cost (work/problems) worth the outcome?✅ Identity shift: obstacles forge the person who can hold the life you want.Chapters00:00 Embracing the Sun: A Controversial Perspective01:09 The Catalyst for Extraordinary Living02:26 Overcoming Overwhelm: The Decision to Act04:17 Facing Challenges: The Path to Growth06:10 The Irony of Fear: Choosing a Boring Life08:39 Transforming Fear into Opportunity11:18 Breaking Through Barriers: The Edge of Comfort13:45 Processing Fear: A Journey of Growth15:29 The Power of Facing Fears20:41 The Importance of Awareness in Overcoming Fear24:05 Living Beyond Limits: The Flea AnalogyMemorable Quotes

Welcome back to the Alt Goes Mainstream podcast.Today's podcast was a conversation that was recorded live at Morningstar's Investment Conference in Chicago earlier this year.Morningstar CEO Kunal Kapoor took time out of his packed schedule at the event to sit down with me for a thought-provoking conversation that dove into the nuances of many of the trends that are shaping private markets today.Morningstar and Kunal have quite an interesting perch in the market. They occupy a critically important function in the market: helping investors understand the data, structures, and trends in public and private markets. They provide fund ratings, investment analysis, and market data to both individual and institutional investors.As public and private markets experience increasing convergence, Morningstar finds itself at the intersection of markets that are undergoing rapid evolutions across product structures, asset allocation frameworks, and weighty questions around conceptual frameworks of liquidity, risk, volatility, concentration that are on the minds of many. Amongst the wide range of topics Kunal and I covered, one stood out: Morningstar is fiercely on the side of the investor.If there's anyone who has a deep understanding of Morningstar's DNA, it's Kunal. Kunal started at Morningstar in 1997 as a data analyst, holding a variety of roles at the firm, including leadership positions in research and innovation. He served as director of mutual fund research and was part of the team that launched Morningstar Investment Services, Inc., before moving on to other roles including director of business strategy for international operations, and later, president and chief investment officer of Morningstar Investment Services. During his tenure, he has also led Morningstar.com® and the firm's data business as well as its global products and client solutions group.Kunal and I had a fascinating and lively conversation. We covered a number of the most pressing topics in private markets today: the convergence of public and private, liquidity vs illiquidity, investor education, the importance of transparency, and the why, what, and how behind evergreen funds.Thanks Kunal for coming on the show to share your wisdom, expertise, and passion for public and private markets.A word from AGM podcast sponsor, Ultimus Fund SolutionsThis episode of Alt Goes Mainstream is brought to you by Ultimus Fund Solutions, a leading full-service fund administrator for asset managers in private and public markets.

Steve Fusco grew up in Connecticut, raised by a single mom and a solid support system—but teenage trouble sent him to military school. In college, experimentation turned into using and selling drugs, a slide into addiction, and multiple arrests. After failing to get clean, Steve was sentenced to 2 years in Connecticut state prison—the wake-up call that changed everything. Inside, he rebuilt from the ground up. Today he's sober, a successful business owner, and on a mission to show what redemption really looks like. #AddictionRecovery #Sobriety #RedemptionStory #PrisonStories #SecondChances #TrueCrime #EntrepreneurLife #connecticut Connect with Steve Fusco: http://Rejoicerestore.com Hosted, Executive Produced & Edited By Ian Bick: https://www.instagram.com/ian_bick/?hl=en https://ianbick.com/ Presented by Tyson 2.0 & Wooooo Energy: https://tyson20.com/ https://woooooenergy.com/ Use code LOCKEDIN for 20% OFF Wooooo Energy Buy Merch: http://www.ianbick.com/shop Timestamps: 00:00 Introduction & Guest Background 02:10 Childhood, Family, and Early Influences 05:52 School Years and Beginning of Trouble 09:08 Military School and College Aspirations 13:13 College Years and Exposure to Drugs 18:14 Path to Addiction & Early Drug Dealing 24:02 Addiction, Career Attempts & Downward Spiral 30:37 Peak Drug Dealing & Double Life 37:15 Cycles of Recovery, Addiction, and Jail 42:08 Rock Bottom: Prison and the Wake-Up Call 46:44 Life Inside Prison and Rebuilding 51:20 Programs, Hope, and New Mindsets 01:00:46 Reentry: Starting Over and Business Journey 01:07:02 Finding Purpose: Relationships and Faith 01:10:53 Servant Leadership & Uplifting Others 01:13:03 Advice, Reflection & Closing Thoughts Learn more about your ad choices.

When a young hitter goes from BP hero to game-day ghost, the issue usually isn't mechanics—it's how we frame failure. In this episode, Joey Myers shows parents and coaches how to turn strikeouts and whiffs into learning fuel using progressive failure exposure, a five-minute Three-Miss Challenge, and three simple metrics that actually predict improvement—so cage swings finally show up under the lights. What You'll Learn The hidden pressure loop: Why “fix-it” coaching after misses backfires and how to protect confidence without coddling. Progressive failure exposure: Treat misses like strength training for confidence—each failure becomes data, not drama. Ditch batting average as the compass: Track Quality-Contact %, Pitch-Selection Success, and Competitive At-Bats to measure real development. Two-strike compete framework: Reframe “don't strike out” into “win the battle”—extend counts, fight off pitches, punish mistakes. Parent language that lowers stress: Short cues for the sideline and the one-word car-ride check-in that replaces postgame lectures. The 5-minute drill you can run tonight: The Three-Miss Challenge to normalize failure and free the swing. Real-world example: How a 10U hitter shed two-strike fear and found better contact once results stopped being the identity. Why This Matters Now Youth seasons are short, emotions run hot, and batting average swings wildly. Teaching kids to tolerate and learn from failure builds resilience, clearer decisions, and contact that shows up when it counts—today and long-term. Quick Start: Run This Tonight Three-Miss Challenge (5 min): Ask your hitter to “collect” 3 misses on tee or front toss. Celebrate each miss, log a quick feel note, reset. Watch tension drop and quality contact rise. Track 3 numbers for two weeks: Quality-Contact % (squared balls with playable trajectory) Pitch-Selection Success (green swings, yellow manage) Competitive ABs (extend, fight, move runners) Featured HPL Resources Swing Shift – 5–7 minute sessions that train progressive failure exposure, pitch decisions, and two-strike compete with pressure-free parent language. RocketHitting Formula – Short, repeatable game-sim sessions that turn process metrics into hard contact under the lights. If this episode helped you reframe failure and cut the postgame stress, follow/subscribe and share it with a fellow parent or your staff. For step-by-step drills, scorecards, and ready-to-run practice blocks, visit HittingPerformanceLab.com. Keep showing up, keep learning, and keep swinging smarter.

Nicole Rafiee didn't realize she had OCD, partly because TV and movies told her it only looked like spotless kitchens, color-coded closets, or a punchline. Meanwhile, her experience was constant spirals, intrusive thoughts, and panic that never showed up in media. In this video, she calls out the rare times celebrities actually get it right. From Jennette McCurdy to Jenna Ortega, John Green, and Shannon Purser, these are the stories that cut through the stereotypes and reflect what OCD really feels like.Nicole's OCD therapy was Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) therapy — the most effective treatment for OCD.

The jobs report was “lighter than expected,” says Brandon Clark, meaning the Fed is “very likely” to cut rates this month, but probably only 25 basis points. He expects another cut before the end of the year as well. Brandon thinks investors should still be overweight large caps but start getting more exposure to small and mid caps. His “contrarian play” is healthcare, citing the AI tailwinds for the industry. He also discusses his bullish narrative for crypto.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

Exposure therapy often emerges as the gold standard for ARFID treatment, but for many neurodivergent people it does not address the full picture. In this episode of Dr. Marianne-Land, Dr. Marianne Miller explains why exposure therapy on its own often fails and how sensory-attuned, trauma-informed, and autonomy-honoring care creates a more effective path forward. CONTENT CAUTION This episode discusses food-related trauma, including pressure and force-feeding. Please listen with care and step away if you notice yourself feeling overwhelmed. DIVING DEEPLY INTO THIS PODCAST EPISODE ON ARFID Many autistic and ADHD people experience eating through a sensory lens. The challenge is not only about fear of food, but also about the surrounding environment. A noisy cafeteria, bright lighting, or the stress of being watched while eating can all create overstimulation. In those moments, eating becomes almost impossible. Before trying new foods, individuals often need to regulate, calm their system, or spend time in a sensory safe space. When therapy ignores these realities and relies only on exposure, it can recreate earlier experiences of pressure and shame. That can retraumatize instead of heal. Sensory-attuned care honors nervous system needs, provides autonomy, and includes supports for executive functioning so that real progress becomes possible. ARFID treatment requires more than repetition. Many people searching for ARFID therapy or ARFID treatment options want approaches that are neurodivergent-affirming, sensory-attuned, and trauma-informed. This episode highlights why exposure therapy by itself often fails and what actually works for lasting ARFID recovery. If you are seeking ARFID treatment that respects autonomy and integrates executive functioning supports, this episode will give you the insights you need. If exposure therapy has not worked for you or your child, this episode will help you understand why it is not a personal failure. True recovery requires safety, sensory respect, and trauma-attuned strategies that recognize how neurodivergent brains and bodies experience food.

In this week's She Who Dares Wins Thursday Dare, Michelle flips the idea of confidence on its head.

Should we worry about consuming venison from an animal harvested with lead ammunition? Will cutting out and discarding meat around the impact area solve the problem? And what are the best practices to keep us safe?Most of us have heard about the negative effects of lead on health. Not only on our health but also on the health of the ecosystems. In this episode, we are answering questions about the scale and severity of these effects from the perspective of lead used in hunting ammunition. To get a full picture I talk with Prof. Fredrik Widemo, a senior researcher at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences in the Department of Wildlife, Fish and Environmental Studies.

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:    Bettina: Hi Dr. Cabral, I live in Denmark and unfortunately I'm unable to purchase the Chi Vitalizer Machine Original. I'm therefore looking for a great alternative. Are you familiar with the Sun Ancon Chi Machine (Original), developed by Dr. Shizuo Inoue in Japan? It has a fixed speed of 140 swings per minute and features a durable AC motor. What do you consider important when choosing a Chi machine? Thanks for all that you do.                 Ann: Hi Dr. Cabral :) If no one has told you today you are very much appreciated :) I sometimes struggle with getting my sauna sessions in in the summer months.If I go for a run and come back super sweaty (staying in Zone 2-3 cardio range for 30-45 minutes) is that having the same effects as my infrared sauna? Hoping to be able to count it as a session! Thank you in advance!                                                                                        Spencer: Hello Dr. Cabral, I'm currently overwhelmed by my situation. I've ran the big 5 as well as some Gi testing, and have found that I have dysbiosis, SIBO, chronic stress, mycoxtoin (mold exposure at work), and trauma. Not sure what happened to me at a young age, but my mom told me I stopped eating fruits and veggies at a young age, and I never tried eating them until more recently at 34 years old. I'm suffering every symptom in the book. I tried the CBO 2 years ago without any success, because the stress I was under was too much. I've began working on my nervous system and I've started IHP Level 1. I feel like it's just so many things stacked against me, especially the mental/spiritual side, which I feel is holding me back from everything and I don't know what to do. I'm down to a few foods.                             Spencer: Follow up. The mold rabbit hole is growing every week and it seems like it can cause every single symptom down to the nervous system dysregulation and sibo and chronic stress and everything, and If I can't get out of the environment it seems insurmountable. I also don't even know how much of an issue it's causing to my issues because I have so many. It could just be overflowing the rain barrel. I'm a boxing trainer and have to train clients all day and I have no energy left in the tank. I've began IHP to work my way out of this current career, but need some help in the interim. My body is so taxed I can't workout, sauna, or do really anything at this point…                                                                                  Ellen: I am a 65 year old female. Had an iron panel test done. My Ferritin is 74 which is in normal range, but my serum iron is low at 34, when the normal range is 50-212. The saturation is 13 when the normal range is 20-50. The TIBC is 270 which seems to be in the normal range. Not sure what this means. I have low hemoglobin at 11.3 and borderline low hematocrit at 34.9. I take an iron supplement but just wondering why my body doesn't seem to be absorbing it. One more thing is that I have a high platelet level at 475 when the range is 140-375.                  Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community's questions!    - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/3494 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral's Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

Investing in Yourself: How Your Choices Shape Your Self-Image Self-image is essentially how we perceive ourselves, shaped by our thoughts, beliefs, and experiences. Tonya Leigh explores the profound connection between the investments we make—whether in time, money, or energy—and the evolution of our self-image. This exploration is particularly relevant for women seeking to elevate their self-perception and overall life experience.  Tonya emphasizes that our self-image acts as a lens through which we view our capabilities and potential. When we invest in ourselves, we are not merely acquiring things; we are affirming our worth and expanding our identity. She emphasizes the importance of the energy behind our investments, highlighting that buying from a place of fear or scarcity often leads to disappointment. Instead, she encourages listeners to invest from a mindset of deserving and self-worth, exemplified by her own experience purchasing a designer handbag as a step towards embracing a new identity.  Tune in to discover how your choices can empower your personal growth and self-image.

"I can tell you from my experience, it is the number one investment, hands down, that I have ever made in myself."

In this episode, Lisa and Zack discuss:Understanding the difference between everyday anxiety and an anxiety disorderThe role of technology and social media in contributing to Gen Z anxietyEvidence-based treatment approaches, including exposure therapyParenting strategies to support anxious teens without reinforcing fearKey Takeaways: Anxiety can be defined as an overestimation of threat and an underestimation of one's ability to cope, and it becomes a disorder when it causes significant dysfunction in daily life.Technology use often serves as a “medication” for uncertainty, providing short-term relief but contributing to worsening anxiety, with research suggesting decreased youth alcohol use but no mental health improvement.Accommodations, such as parents completing tasks for anxious teens, can unintentionally reinforce fears; asking guiding questions helps youth build coping skills.Exposure therapy works by gradually confronting fears until they become manageable or are disproven, reducing avoidance and increasing confidence. “Fear and anxiety have an incredibly important role to play in our lives. It's not all bad. It's not a negative emotion, but it is an emotion that requires some understanding and some skill to address.” – Zack SchaferEpisode References:The Anxious Generation by Jonathan Haidt: https://www.amazon.com/Anxious-Generation-Rewiring-Childhood-Epidemic/dp/0593655036Dopamine Nation by Dr. Anna Lembke: https://www.amazon.com/Dopamine-Nation-Finding-Balance-Indulgence/dp/152474672XSPACE Treatment by Dr. Eli Lebowitz: https://www.spacetreatment.net/BePresent App: https://www.bepresentapp.com/Get Lisa's Free on-demand video: How-to guide for your teen to choose the right major, college, & career...(without painting themselves into a corner, missing crucial deadlines, or risking choices you both regret). flourishcoachingco.com/video Connect with Zack:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mountainvalleytreatmentcenter/Website: https://mountainvalleytreatment.org/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/zack-schafer-a6026b108/Fear Less Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/Email: zschafer@mountainvalleytreatment.orgConnect with Lisa:Website: https://www.flourishcoachingco.com/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@flourishcoachingcoInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/flourishcoachingco/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/flourish-coaching-co

Kohberger's Bad Week In Prison Part 1 - Taunts, Threats & Exposure As Copy-Cat Bryan Kohberger's first full week inside Idaho's Maximum Security Institution has been anything but quiet. The man convicted of murdering four University of Idaho students is discovering fast that prison life doesn't bend to his ego or his paperwork. Within days, Kohberger began filing complaint letters to prison staff. He claimed he was being subjected to “minute-by-minute verbal threats and harassment,” begging officials for a transfer to B-Block. Days later, he alleged sexual harassment, citing vulgar taunts from fellow inmates. Among the quotes Kohberger himself logged:  “I'll b*** f*** you.”  “The only a** we'll be eating is Kohberger's.” Prison officials didn't flinch. They told him disruptions are rare, J-Block is calm, and to “give it some time.” Translation? No transfer. No special treatment. Meanwhile, Kohberger's attempts to frame himself as a misunderstood intellectual are collapsing. Experts point out that his prison letters read like academic essays—overly formal, desperate attempts to project control. In reality, they expose him as a copy-cat, a man who studied killers and tried to imitate them, but lacked the intelligence, charisma, or social skills that allowed others to avoid capture. Part One of our deep-dive with former FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke breaks down Kohberger's prison complaints, the psychology behind his letters, and why inmates have zero respect for him. Kohberger thought he'd be a subject of fascination. Instead, he's a punchline in J-Block, mocked through the vents and stripped of any illusion of control. #BryanKohberger #IdahoMurders #TrueCrime #PrisonLife #HiddenKillers #Justice #RobinDreeke #TrueCrimePodcast #PrisonLetters #CourtCase Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

On this week's Long Read Sunday, NLW reads two essays exploring the intersection of Bitcoin, crypto, and politics. The first, Red Coin Blue Coin: The New Politics of Exposure, looks at the rise of politically branded Bitcoin treasuries—from Michael Saylor's Strategy to Trump Media's $2 billion BTC bet—and asks whether investors are buying the coin or the campaign. The second, A Regulator's Radical Defense of Privacy by Byron Gilliam, covers SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce's surprising embrace of cypherpunk ideals and her challenge to the financial surveillance status quo.
