In this episode of the Reading With Your Kids Podcast, we're celebrating two powerful picture books that spark big conversations in families. First, Jed chats with Dr. Linda Booth Sweeney, author of Do Bees Pee? The Curious and Amazing Ways Nature Avoids Pollution. Linda shares how a giggle-worthy question opens the door to serious science, systems thinking, and hope-filled conversations about our planet. She explains how nature "thinks in loops, not lines"—turning waste into food and showing us brilliant, closed-loop designs that can ease kids' eco-anxiety. From bees and elephants to parrotfish that help make sandy beaches, Linda invites families to use humor, curiosity, and hands-on experiences to reconnect with nature and feel empowered rather than overwhelmed. Then, Jed welcomes Dr Esau McCaulley, author of Isaiah Johnson and the Big Game. Esau introduces us to Isaiah, a young ballplayer whose dad arrives late to the championship game. Instead of the parent swooping in as the hero, this story gently flips the script: Isaiah must decide whether to forgive his imperfect father. Esau talks honestly about failing as a parent, raising Black children in America, weaving faith into stories without preaching, and creating picture books that both kids and adults genuinely enjoy. Together, these conversations celebrate curiosity, compassion, and the simple, life-changing message every child needs to hear: "You are loved, no matter how you perform."

What does it actually take to make a marriage last for over 20 years?This week on Tea At Four, hosts Billy and Christie sit down with UK power couple Matt and Emma Willis for an incredibly honest conversation about the realities of long-term love, communication, and modern relationships.Emma opens up about why she initially resisted couples therapy - admitting she thought she "didn't have trauma" - and how a single neutral session transformed the way they communicate. They also share why you should stop trying to change your partner and the truth behind those wild internet headlines (including a fake hot tub row and a proposal interrupted by Busted fans).Plus, we ask them to play Agony Aunt and Uncle to answer your relationship dilemmas: Should you care if your partner won't post you on social media? And how do you handle a partner who is reluctant to go to therapy?Finally, Matt and Emma give us the inside scoop on hosting the highly anticipated series of Love Is Blind UK on Netflix, what to expect from the couples, and the release schedule details you need to know.If you enjoyed this episode, please subscribe, leave a comment with your thoughts on the "three-day rule," and share this with someone who needs to hear Matt and Emma's relationship wisdom.00:34 - Matt and Emma Willis are back: What's changed?01:00 - Love Is Blind UK: Why this series is the best yet01:51 - Do Matt & Emma have favorite couples?

Kristy Ellmer and Julia Dhar, co-authors of How Change Really Works and founders of BCG's Behavioral Science Lab, explain why so many transformations fail and what the science says separates success from failure. They break down the “messy middle,” why people resist being changed rather than change itself, and how giving employees real agency turns resistance into momentum.What You'll Learn:Why “false alignment” among leaders, not resistance from employees, derails most transformations before they start.Why giving employees real ownership, not just participation, turns resistance into momentum.What makes AI transformations distinct from other kinds of organizational changeLearn More:Read How Change Really Works: https://on.bcg.com/3SpBPzdYour AI Change Is Actually a People Change: https://on.bcg.com/3RKUp4JThe False Alignment Trap: https://on.bcg.com/45R9ULHCEOs Are Betting Big on AI Transformations.

You might not need a new offer—you might need to sell the one you already have. Before you decide something "didn't work," look at how often you've actually talked about it, whether people understand why it matters, and if you've given it enough time to work. Creating something new can feel productive, but the revenue-producing work might be repeating the invitation you're tempted to abandon.

A mission can be extraordinary, and an organization can still fail. Not because the work wasn't needed, but because the infrastructure, leadership, systems, governance, and financial strategy weren't strong enough to support the work over time. Your mission deserves more than good intentions. It deserves an organization that's equipped to carry it for years, not just for today. If you've ever wondered why some nonprofits thrive while others quietly disappear, this conversation will help you see the difference. Because lasting impact isn't created by passion alone. It's created by building an organization that's worthy of sustaining the mission it was called to serve.
Join Boson's Live 8-Week CCNA Workshop starting Aug 17:https://itdad.info/8Weeks2CCNAIf you are studying for the CCNA by just watching video courses on a second monitor while you scroll through social media, you are setting yourself up to fail on your first attempt. I learned this the hard way, burning hundreds of dollars on exam fees early in my career because my study strategy had a massive flaw. Passive information consumption does not build long-term retention or real skill. In this video, I am breaking down the exact study stack I wish someone handed me when I started—videos for introduction, labs for muscle memory, active recall for retention, and practice exams for verification—so you can build real skills, stop wasting money, and pass on your first attempt.
Introduction Most carriers have stopped asking whether AI works. So why does so little of it ever leave the pilot? Kurt Diederich has spent 25 years building the core policy, billing, and claims systems that property and casualty insurers run on. Two years ago he looked at AI and, in his words, thought it was a pile of trash. He kept retrying it every six months anyway, and the thing that flipped him was a bread recipe. He asked a model to cut it in half, it correctly turned tablespoons into one and a half teaspoons, and he went in with both feet. That arc is the episode. Kurt walks through the adoption curve he sees in most organizations, from skepticism, to being wowed, to badly overestimating what the technology can do, and then the hard landing into execution where the roadblocks show up. His argument is that the software was never the constraint. The constraint is whether a company will restructure how it works, put the right people in front of the change, and actually measure what it gets. Guest Bio Kurt Diederich is the Chief Executive Officer and co-founder of Finys, a Troy, Michigan software company whose Suite covers policy administration, billing, claims, portals, and business intelligence for P&C carriers, mutuals, and state FAIR Plans. He started writing assembly-language games as a teenager on TRS-80s and Apple IIs, worked his way through college as a consultant, and has been an entrepreneur ever since. He spent the 1990s building custom claims and policy systems for carriers, then founded Finys in 2001 and went all in on insurance, building the platform on Microsoft .NET. Finys marked its 25th anniversary in 2026 and employs roughly 175 people. Key Topics -The four-stage adoption curve - Skepticism, then being wowed, then overestimating what AI can do, then the drop into execution where the real roadblocks appear. -30% versus three to five times - Let people work the way they always have and you get a modest lift. Restructure the work into small pods and the number changes completely. -The SDLC becomes the AI PLC - Kurt argues the software development lifecycle is turning into a product lifecycle, where the idea of developers sitting down to write code starts to go away. -The 40-point measurement gap - Studies found developers predicting a 20% productivity gain while actually running a 20% deficit, and most organizations never measure at all. -Champions rather than training - Training wears off because people default back to old habits. Kurt uses people who have already done it to coach teams through real work, repeatedly. -Why carriers have it harder - Governance and regulatory exposure slow carrier adoption compared with a software company, and improper usage draws regulators. -Spending AI dollars badly - Everyone reaches for the frontier model. Kurt watches an internal credits leaderboard, argues most problems are solved by cheaper models, and says AI should be used to build deterministic solutions rather than being run over and over. Notable Quotes "Developers were predicting they're getting a 20% productivity lift with AI when in reality they were at a 20% productivity deficit. So you've got a 40% gap between reality and perceived value." "If you allow the developers to just work as they've always worked, what we find is you get maybe a 30% productivity lift. By restructuring the way you work, you see these huge productivity lifts." "I don't think the typical worker is going to have that aha moment where they realize what they've been doing for the last ten, fifteen, or twenty years is wrong. They've been successful at it." "The AI industry has kind of done themselves some harm by saying you're not going to need all the people to do the work anymore."

Send us Fan MailAI, leadership, and adoption with Shawn MillsThis episode focuses on how organizations should approach AI as a business strategy, not just a technology purchase. Chris Whitaker is joined by Shawn Mills, CEO and chairman at Pisteyo, who brings a practical view of what actually works when companies try to adopt AI. The conversation covers leadership alignment, change management, and why education matters just as much as the tools themselves.Key topicsIn this episode: Shawn Mills shares how his background in finance, sales, and entrepreneurship shaped the way he thinks about business and technology.We discuss: why AI adoption is usually a people and process challenge, not just a tooling challenge.Shawn explains: the meaning behind the name Pisteyo, including its roots in off-piste skiing and the Greek meaning tied to belief.We explore: how Pisteyo positions itself as a management consulting firm first, then a technology solution provider.Shawn breaks down: why CEOs, boards, CTOs, and CIOs are often the real drivers behind AI initiatives.We cover: the common mistake of buying an AI tool and expecting adoption without training, enablement, or context.Shawn shares: why smaller and mid-market companies can now compete more effectively because AI gives them access to capabilities once reserved for larger firms.We discuss: prompt quality, AI slop, and the need to understand and explain AI-generated output before passing it along.Shawn emphasizes: that business and technology teams need to stay in lockstep or AI projects can drift away from real business needs.We close with: advice on leadership alignment, curiosity, and continuous learning as AI capabilities keep accelerating.Timestamps00:00 - Why AI is now at the center of every tech conversation 02:41 - What Shawn Mills is seeing in executive AI journeys 03:17 - Life outside work: hiking, surfing, Nepal, Peru, and Costa Rica 05:35 - From finance and investment banking to sales, marketing, and operating companies 07:29 - The biggest lesson: use your network and ask for help 09:34 - How American Airlines flight benefits sparked a lifetime of adventure 10:21 - Why AI is transforming financial modeling and analysis 12:11 - The real story behind the name Pisteo 14:45 - Why Pisteo starts with business strategy, not technology 16:52 - The board and CEO pressure driving AI initiatives 18:33 - Passive resistance and why education gets forgotten 20:49 - Why upper mid-market companies are the best fit 22:42 - How AI is leveling the playing field for smaller companies 24:32 - The most common AI failure: tool first, training never 27:38 - Why the AI capability gap keeps growing 29:41 - Is AI making people smarter or lazier? 32:21 - Why technologists must partner with the business 35:25 - Lightning round: coffee, books, leadership, and video 37:28 - Why executive alignment is critical to AI success 38:36 - Closing thoughts and final takeawayNotable quotes“If you're not falling, you're not learning.”“I'm literally the smartest person on the planet as long as I have access to AI.”“Bring the leadership team along with you on the journey.”More on Shawn MillsMore on Pisteyo Support the showCheck out my website https://thewirelessway.net/ use the contact button to send request and feedback.

You are told to go do AI without good direction. We have been there and we know the struggle.I sit down with Ashley Oien, Senior Director of Demand Planning at Rise Baking Company, to unpack lessons from a real AI transformation journey including an AI project that started with the technology and ultimately revealed that the real business problems were somewhere else.We discuss how to identify the right AI proof of concept, start with a meaningful business problem, define success before implementation, and measure real AI ROI rather than simply proving that the technology works.If you're evaluating AI for demand planning, forecasting, S&OP, or supply chain, this conversation offers practical lessons for turning AI experimentation into measurable business value.Support the showTo sign up for regular updates and the latest research, events, articles, podcasts and more from the Institute of Business Forecasting & Training, visit www.ibf.org
Heart Of The Matter - A Podcast On Legal Developments From Around The World
Twenty years after challenging a Western speaker's paternalistic lecture on governance, Chandran Nair hasn't softened his position one bit. If anything, his conviction has only grown stronger.Nair, founder and CEO of the Global Institute for Tomorrow, sits down with Ajay Shamdasani to dismantle the assumption that Anglo-American corporate governance models are the global standard worth emulating. Repeatedly, the evidence points elsewhere. The 2008 financial crisis originated in the United States despite rigorous regulations already in place, and scandals keep emerging from systems supposedly built on sound governance principles.Could the real problem be that Western institutions like the Big Four auditors and rating agencies serve their own interests rather than the public good?(Nair's point about European family offices being just as opaque as any Asian business is particularly sharp.) Critically, he argues that effective governance depends on genuine state capacity to enforce accountability. Malaysia shows what happens when institutions are too weak to constrain powerful actors, while China demonstrates that real consequences, not routine fines, create meaningful accountability.Nair also calls out lawyers and compliance officers who stay silent to protect their paychecks, choosing financial security over ethical responsibility.Tune in for a conversation that genuinely challenges assumptions about governance, power, and who gets to write the rules.Our GuestChandran NairChandran Nair is the Founder and CEO of the Global Institute For Tomorrow (GIFT), an independent pan-Asian think tank based in Hong Kong and Kuala Lumpur focused on advancing a deeper understanding of global issues including the shift of economic and political influence from the West to Asia, the dynamic relationship between business and society, and the reshaping of the rules of global capitalism. He is the author of Understanding China: Governance, Socio-Economics, Global Influence, Dismantling Global White Privilege: Equity for a Post-Western World, The Sustainable State: The Future of Government, Economy, and Society and Consumptionomics: Asia's Role in Reshaping Capitalism and Saving the Planet and the creator of The Other Hundred, a non-profit global photo journalism initiative to present a counterpoint to media consensus on some of today's most important issues. Chandran was chairman of Environmental Resources Management (ERM) in Asia Pacific until 2004, establishing the company as Asia's leading environmental consultancy.Chandran is a member of WEF's Global Agenda Council on Governance for Sustainability and Experts Forum, he sits on the Global Steering Committee of CISL's Business for Sustainability Programme, is a member of the Club of Rome, is a Senior Fellow of CIMB ASEAN Research Institute (CARI), as well as a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts.Chandran has served as Adjunct Professor at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology and the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy in Singapore and is a former Advisor to ORIX Corporation and a former member of the Stakeholder Advisory Council for BASF, the world's largest chemical company as well as the Executive Committee of the Club of Rome, the world's premier scientific think tank.Our HostAjay ShamdasaniAjay Shamdasani is a veteran writer, editor and researcher based in Hong Kong. He holds an AB in history and government from Ripon College, JD and MIPCT degrees from the University of New Hampshire Franklin Pierce Law School, and an LLM in financial regulation from the Illinois Institute of Technology's Chicago-Kent College of Law.His 15-year long career as a financial and legal journalist began as deputy editor of A Plus magazine – the journal of the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants. From there, he assumed the helm of Macau Business magazine as its editor-in-chief, and later, joined Asialaw magazine as its deputy editor.More recently, he spent close to seven years as a senior correspondent with Thomson Reuters' subscription-based trade-wire service Regulatory Intelligence/Compliance Complete (previously called Complinet) in Hong Kong. While there, he covered regulatory developments in that city, as well as Singapore, India and South Korea.

What if every college graduate left campus with the mindset, confidence, and skills to solve complex problems and create opportunities wherever they go? In this episode, Nicole Jansen sits down with Jeff Meade, Founding Director of Entrepreneurship at Paul Quinn College, where every student learns to think and act like an entrepreneur. Rather than preparing students for jobs that may not exist in a few years, Jeff and his team are equipping them to solve real-world problems, create value, embrace failure as part of the learning process, and confidently adapt to an ever-changing world. Together, they explore how entrepreneurial thinking transforms education, strengthens leadership, and prepares students to become innovators, intrapreneurs, business owners, and changemakers. Whether you're an entrepreneur, educator, parent, or leader, this conversation will inspire you to rethink what education—and leadership—can look like. What We Discuss Why every student - not just business majors - should learn entrepreneurship Entrepreneurship as a mindset rather than simply a career path Preparing students for jobs that don't exist yet Teaching students to solve problems through building businesses The difference between owning a job and building a scalable business How venture-based learning develops confidence and resilience Why failure is an essential part of learning and innovation Creating businesses that strengthen communities, not just generate profits Reimagining higher education through entrepreneurship The leadership lessons behind building a transformative educational program Episode Highlights 00:00 - What if every student graduated as an entrepreneur? 02:45 - Why entrepreneurship belongs in every degree program 05:15 - Entrepreneurship is a mindset - not just a business 07:05 - Preparing students for jobs that don't exist yet 10:20 - Teaching students to solve meaningful problems 15:30 - Lifestyle businesses vs. scalable businesses 18:45 - Entrepreneurship teaches life skills, not just business skills 22:30 - A vision for colleges that become financially sustainable 26:45 - Venture-Based Learning: Why real stakes matter 30:15 - Helping students embrace failure and build confidence 34:15 - What earns funding - and an A - in Jeff's program 39:00 - The biggest leadership lesson in building the program Memorable Quotes "We want students to graduate thinking and acting like entrepreneurs."

Love to hear from you; “Send us a Text Message”A whole generation is being handed a worldview that feels “normal” only because they grew up in it, and it's everywhere. We're watching the results of human pulverization in real time: confusion about truth, freedom, love and a growing romance with Socialism. Yet, Socialism and Communism have never succeeded anywhere, and they always crush the human person.Visit Tom's Work at Illinois Family Institute!Gen Z is waking up, join the movement!

There's a difference between leading from your calling and leading from your cracks.This week I'm sharing a message from a staff meeting titled “Insecurity Is Not Your Identity” We look at Peter's story, from boldly declaring who Jesus is, to denying Him, to being restored and reminded that his failure never canceled his calling.God already knew Peter would deny Him, and He still chose him. The same is true for you. Insecurity is not your identity. You are seen, called, and chosen.So much of maturity is getting good at returning. Returning to His grace. Returning to the God encounter. Returning to why you started.The calling doesn't expire when the feeling does. Don't give up on what God has called you to.Tune in tonight at 7:30 PM on the Rich Wilkerson Jr. YouTube Channel.

I'm excited to sit down with Kristy Ellmer, a senior leader at Boston Consulting Group and co-author of How Change Really Works, to talk about what it actually takes to lead meaningful change inside organizations. Rather than relying on intuition or management trends, Kristy explains how years of research in behavioral science, neuroscience, and real-world transformations led to seven practical principles for increasing the odds of success. We explore why so many change efforts stall, why getting genuine agreement matters more than quick consensus, and how leaders can create the conditions for lasting progress instead of temporary compliance. Our conversation also moves beyond strategy into the human side of transformation. We discuss why people are more likely to embrace change when they have ownership in shaping it, how leaders can encourage productive disagreement without slowing momentum, and why stories often inspire action more effectively than metrics alone. Whether you're leading a company, managing a team, or guiding clients through change, these ideas offer practical ways to think differently about how people commit to new directions and sustain them over time. Topics We Cover in This Episode: Why "false alignment" creates more problems than open disagreement How to know when your team is truly aligned before moving forward A simple exercise that exposes hidden assumptions in leadership meetings What the "IKEA Effect" teaches us about ownership and commitment Why involving more people doesn't always slow a transformation down How stories and symbols can motivate people in ways data alone cannot The role of healthy debate in building stronger decisions and better execution Why successful change is often about designing the process, not just setting the goal If you're responsible for leading change or influencing others through uncertainty, I think you'll find this conversation incredibly helpful.

Keith explains why achieving scale rather than simply earning more is the key to long-term financial freedom and how income property uniquely delivers multiple forms of leverage. He breaks down 25 years of inflation data to reveal which everyday costs have most outpaced wages and what that means for the real purchasing power of the dollar. Keith also explains why markets like Memphis—combining strong cash flow fundamentals with a massive new AI infrastructure build-out—are positioned as compelling targets for long-term real estate investors.

This is Get Rich Education. Keith Weinhold 1:49 Welcome to GRE from Livonia, Michigan, to Laconia, New Hampshire, and across 188 nations worldwide. You are listening to Get Rich Education. I'm your host, Keith Weinhold, heading up this slackjaw operation for another wealth-building week. But at least I'm just a slackjaw. If this slackjaw gets lockjaw, it would probably end the show. Now I've got to tell you, when I meet a 25-year-old, I soon tend to learn about their job because it takes a lot of their time, even if I don't ask them about it, and I find out that a 25-year-old is usually an employee of some sort. They're working for somebody else, depending on our conversational flow. I ask that person this question: Have you considered adding scale to your life? And they usually don't know what I mean. I ask that question because, sadly, today it's less common to live an economically vibrant life if you have a quote normal job like a teacher, engineer, retail manager, app developer, or other normal jobs like a firefighter, truck driver, physical therapist, or social media manager, that is not going to lead to an economically vibrant life with options and freedom. I mean, you used to be able to raise a family of four in New York City. That opportunity is just gone for anyone under a certain age. Well, what about say doctors, corporate executives, and attorneys, including some people that might be older than 25. I mean, professions like this can still pay exceptionally well. But even white-collar careers now have AI breathing down their necks. AI is drafting briefs, reading scans, and virtually attending meetings without pretending to enjoy them. Okay, well, what about the outcome for a 25-year-old that's gone along with the somewhat more nascent trend of rising AI sheltered trades like plumbing, electrical, HVAC, welding, carpentry, equipment repair, and these other types of jobs where ChatGPT can't crawl beneath your sink. Look, here's the thing: it doesn't matter whether you wear scrubs, a suit, or a tool belt. Employment has one stubborn limitation: even if you grind hard, even if your body holds up, even if promotions help you climb to the top of the corporate ladder, when you stop working, the income stops. That's the big problem, and yet people keep designing their life this way, employees lack scale. Now, what is scale? Scale is your ability to increase your wealth or income without increasing your personal time and effort at the same rate. Now, employees can find just a little scale. 401k contributions can compound for decades, sometimes with an employer match. Some employees receive stock compensation or bonuses, but employees generally sell one unit at a time. That unit is an hour. They're selling their hours for dollars, and here scale is limited, if not impossible. Real estate investors can stack several forms of scale simultaneously, and remarkably, doing it takes zero certification, zero qualification, no license, and no permission slip from the dean. Keith Weinhold 6:05 The first way real estate investors have scale is through something that you already know so well: real estate pays five ways, leverage appreciation, 10 funded income, loan amortization, tax benefits on the entire asset, and inflation profiting on the bank's loan. Secondly, as a real estate investor, you have scale through operational leverage. Property managers, leasing agents, contractors, lenders, insurers, and software all allow just one investor, you, to control multiple properties. You don't personally collect every rent payment or replace every water heater. I mean, sheesh, that could be a plumbing career with less sleep. And this is all tenant funded. Thirdly, real estate investors have geographic leverage. An individual investor living in Los Angeles can own property in Atlanta, Tulsa, Cleveland, and Belize. Physical location does not limit where your capital works. Your body can only work in one city. Your capital can work the night shift in five. The fourth way real estate investors have scale is with replication. Once you learn how to buy and own one suitable rental, the process can be repeated. You buy, stabilize, finance, rent, and repeat. See, the first property is the hardest, and then your second property does not require learning an entirely new profession. It can be replicated. To review what you've learned so far, those are four dimensions where real estate investors achieve scale through real estate pays five ways: operational leverage, geographic leverage, and replication. Here's the important distinction: employees often mistake earning more with achieving scale. Keith Weinhold 8:16 A surgeon making $900,000 a year earns a nice income, but see that surgeon has limited scale if the income stops when the surgeon stops working. But an investor earning just $150,000 from a portfolio possesses more scale because dozens of tenants, properties, loans, and operating systems continue functioning without your one-for-one labor. That's the distinction. That's why the $150K investor might or might not be living a better life than the 900K surgeon now, but they are set up to live a better life than the surgeon in the future. Now, your employer, the person who hires you, has scale with their many employees. But if you're an employee, you probably don't have scale. You cannot save your way to scale either. That's just stored labor. Savings become scalable only when you convert them into productive assets. Income is how much money comes in. Scale is how little your personal time needs to increase for more money to come in. You can work 20% more hours, but you cannot sustainably work 10 times more hours. Capital can be deployed across 10 assets without requiring 10 times more personal effort. And you know, once I realized this, at a certain point in my life, I was motivated to obtain loans for rental. This helped me scale and own more, replacing my active income with mostly passive income sooner. All right, so what should you do when you have this epiphany? It doesn't mean you should flip over the stupid copier machine as you storm out of work today and announce that you are now a real estate magnet. Not right away, at least employment that can be your launchpad, just like it was for me when I was a humble construction materials inspector for the state DOT. A job does provide you with some benefits like short-term advantages, seed capital, mortgage qualification. Keith Weinhold 10:45 I'm talking about health insurance and some steady cash flow, and even some skills. But the mistake, whether you are aged 25 or 55, is allowing employment to remain the only economic engine for your entire life. Your job can fund your future, but having just one single linear income source that should not be your entire future. But you know, some people just stay on lazy cruise control at a slow speed and let their life unfurl that way. Others, you know, they merely haven't been exposed to thinking this way, and fortunately, now you have been. Really, the bottom line here is that labor won't scale; capital does scale; it compounds, and few, if any, investments offer more dimensions of scale than real estate. And you also get all kinds of other ancillary benefits by gradually tilting away from active income and toward passive income. Because increasingly, when it comes to taxes, you're going to pay lower capital gains tax rates instead of the higher ordinary income rates. The sooner you optimize this and get into as many properties as you can, you're also going to gain the ability to borrow against your assets tax-free, and so much more. Scale or fail-that's the lesson here, and most people fear change. It's why they stay stuck in relationships longer than they should, and why they stay stuck in jobs longer than they should. They keep settling for a B plus life. Don't settle for a B plus life. This is something that NYU professor Susie Welsh talks about: If you have a D life, oh, everything is lousy. You don't live where you want to live. You don't have reliable transportation. You don't have friends, and you're so very motivated to change that. If you have an A plus life, you've got it all. You get to do what you want to do, who you want to do it with, and you're tremendously incentivized to keep that. But having a B plus life like so many do, and being stuck in it, that is the most dangerous place to be. You could tread water for years and stay stuck in a life that you know you're not fully satisfied with, but it isn't so terrible that you feel compelled to change it. So the people that grow wealth know it means that sometimes you have to give up the good to have the great, and the K-shaped economic divergence that we've had in the past five years. This is really bringing things to a head, so get scale. Keith Weinhold 13:43 Scale is the difference between grasping the financial abundance that's available to move you toward that A plus life, or staying on the treadmill, stuck and struggling. Two different people living a B plus life, you know, they have the same starting point, and making a plan is your difference maker. We help you with that here. If you're ready to add real estate scale to your financial life, drop a quick email to GRE Investment Coach Naresh for a complimentary strategy session at Naresh at getricheducation.com. You don't need any qualifications. It can take as little as a 20% down payment on a 200k to 400k rental property, and we have access so that you can buy directly from the builders and get a mortgage rate in the fives. And we are chasing the next hot thing here. Last week we discussed co-living on the show. We waited until that strategy was proven. I like strategies that have had some contact with reality. AI can compose a song, or summarize a meeting, or fabricate a photo of some. Wacky like Abraham Lincoln riding a dolphin, but it still cannot download an affordable bedroom, affordable housing. You're scaling into something sustainable that has a future and can't be easily disrupted by AI. Scale or fail. Stop settling for the B plus life. We can help right now at this moment. Drop a quick email to naresh@getricheducation.com. I should spell that out for you. It's n a r e s h@getricheducation.com. Keith Weinhold 15:36 More straight ahead. I'm Keith Weinhold.

Keith Weinhold 16:13 Let me ask you something: If you've worked hard to build wealth, is your money positioned to actually support your goals? A lot of accredited investors leave capital sitting in cash because it feels safe, but inflation and missed income opportunities can quietly erode its value.

Listen to Get rich education with Keith Weinhold, and don't quit your daydream. Keith Weinhold 17:33 Welcome back to Get Rich Education. I'm your host Keith Weinhold. Having residual income from real estate, it can make you more comfortable for sure, but for me, I like to primarily use it to buy back my time. I'll tell you how I just did this. It's a small thing, a small win. It is time for my car's annual routine maintenance. Boring. I really don't want to lose my time dropping it off at the dealership in the morning and then picking it up again. Those two boring round trips don't add anything to my life. But the dealership had the option of, for just 100 bucks, picking it up for me and dropping it off for me at the end of the day. Oh well, that is an opportunity for me to buy some time, so that's why I did that. Now, when it comes to flying, sometimes I fly coach and sometimes first class. I just booked a flight and I refused to pay six times as much for first class. It just wasn't really worth it this time because the experience isn't that much better, and it sure doesn't save me any time. I tend to do that if the price is just 3x more, so I'll pay to save time, but not always to borrow a wider seat for five hours. And you and I both make hundreds of time versus money decisions every day, most of them small. Keith Weinhold 19:04 With the more residual income you have, you're gonna make better decisions where you can choose the time over the money. One thing's for sure: whatever we're doing with our money, and that is that our dollar does not go as far as it used to. Let's look at inflation during the first 25 years of this century. This is really interesting. We're going to see how the cost of goods and services has changed from 2000 to the end of 2025 on some select categories that you spend on, and then I've got some mind-bending takeaways for you once I describe this chart, and this is the same chart that I sent to you last Thursday. If you are one of my newsletter readers, but I can open up and talk about it more here than I can in the newsletter because I keep that short. Overall inflation is about. 93% during this time period. 93% over these 25 years. Now, here are the items that rose less than that much, meaning that they became then more affordable over this span. What fell the most is the price of televisions down more than 90% in the first 25 years of this century? Toys down 74% Computer software down 73% Cell phones down 44% By the way, this all uses the government's CPI inflation rate, clothing up just one and a half percent, and even though it's up, that's still more affordable because it's up less than the overall 93% CPI inflation rate over this span. Household furnishings up 21% and finally new cars up 26% So all those items became more affordable because they rose less than the general rate of inflation. All right, moving on up. Now we're going to go above the line. Items above the 93% overall inflation rate, food and beverages were up 106% housing up 111% average hourly wages up 131% All right, let's pause. Yes, wages then outpacing 93% inflation. but of course, since that 93% uses the government CPI, well, that's pretty understated. Probably, you know, the true dispersing power of the dollar is probably more than 93% So it's debatable about whether there are real wage gains from 2000 to the end of 2025, medical care services up 147% Next in the category that has become less affordable is childcare, up 159% And as I'm naming these, there are some common threads here where I think you're going to have a few epiphanies when I point them out. College textbooks up 177%. Sheesh, what a scam! College tuition and fees up 197%, and finally the major category that became less affordable here at the top is the worst of all: hospital services. They have soared the most, up over 281% All right, there they are. Keith Weinhold 22:57 And what takeaways do we have here? The items that became less affordable tend to be where the government either provides subsidies or they heavily regulate and mandate the product or service, like education, child care, and medical care. The categories that have become more affordable-that's where there is little or minimal government intervention, like clothing and technology. The lesson is that free market competition kept prices low, and some of these categories that became more affordable-you know-they would have become even more affordable than that if it weren't for profligate dollar printing, sadly, the items that have become less affordable-and this could really upset you-the items whose price increases exceed the overall rate of inflation, like medical care and housing, these are life's necessities. They are not once the stuff you need most got harder to obtain, healthcare is the ultimate example of this. It's sad to say, but you'll either pay the fee or you'll die, and the price reflects this. With hospital services up 281% outpacing the overall rate of inflation by about 3x. Also, items that have become more affordable, they are then generally the more discretionary purchases like furnishings, toys, and televisions. You can live without that stuff. Items that have become less affordable. They also tend to be more in-sourced activity, while those more affordable are outsourced, like to China. If you've noticed the trend, then anything involving people in the United States will be expensive, like child. Care and medical care. It involves people in the United States, and then it just gets more and more expensive. And this is also why service prices increase more and goods prices increase less. People are expensive. Keith Weinhold 25:18 Microchips don't ask for dental insurance, and microchips don't file sexual harassment lawsuits. Overall, inflation was just 2.66% per year during this time period. But when it's compounded for this long, that's how it got to 93% cumulatively. But of course, inflation is higher than this 2.66 rate here in the late 2020s, and inflation is poised to rise even more than the level that it's at now. The war in Iran has pushed up energy prices 24% and these costs seep into almost everything, all right. But you're probably aware of this already, so I'm not going to discuss it much more because I discussed that before, like on episode 606, nearly two months ago when I called it our most important message in years, all right. But few seem to understand that this is just one part of a new inflation triple whammy. First, you've got spiking energy prices, like I mentioned. Second, more U.S. tariffs, and third, you've got mushrooming AI spending, and as a result of all this, this new inflation triple whammy that most people aren't aware of, this has pushed up bond yields to their highest point since 2007, and pressure is mounting for the Fed to jack up rates. Mortgage rates are soaring right along with them, and they are now near 7% Could mortgage rates reach 8% This is a real question now. The bottom line here is that inflation made the dollar lose nearly half its purchasing power in the first quarter century. Real asset owners will win, especially leveraged income property owners. This raises the property's replacement costs, spikes rents, and erodes your mortgage's real burden. Nearly everyone else is going to lose, and I don't want to lose a learning moment for you here. Bond yields-they are closely tied to what future mortgage rates are going to be. It's not about what the Fed does, and this is not as esoteric as some people think. This correlation between inflation, bond yields, and mortgage rates. Bonds pay a fixed interest rate long term. Keith Weinhold 28:01 For example, the 10-year Treasury bond right now pays about 4.7% each year for the next 10 years. That's what that means. Now, would you lock in your investment for 10 years in order to get a 4.7% return? Well, if you were a conservative investor, maybe you would if you knew that inflation was only going to be 2% because then you'd be making about a 2.7% real return on your investment each year risk free. But if you expect inflation was going to be 5% over the next 10 years, oh well, then locking in a return of 4.7% means that you would lose real purchasing power every year. Investors don't want to lose money, so if investors expect that inflation is going to be higher, they will only buy bonds if they're paying higher amounts. And the bond market is telling us that as of today, investors expect at least 4.7% inflation over the next 10 years. If things change and they expect inflation to be higher than that, well, then bond yields will go up. If they expect inflation to decrease, for example, from a recession, bond yields will go down. So therefore, Treasury bonds are a true representation of investor inflation expectations and the movement of that bond yield-that is the number one factor that moves mortgage rates in that same direction. There's your explanation. That wasn't so hard. The market does not believe we're going to escape the Middle East war without substantial inflation or energy supply chain issues. That's what that means. Now, what else is going on in this era is the continuation of a reduction in the volume. Of housing transactions, fewer deals are happening. It had its recent peak of 6 million existing homes changing hands back in 2021. In 2022, it was 5 million, and it's been about 4 million transactions every year since. Now, as far as investor activity, just looking at that, for big investors, activity that's been sideways to a little down these past few years. But let's look at ourselves for smaller investors, mom and pop types, defined as those doing 10 or fewer deals per year, which probably includes you. You know, each of the past three years, activity has been up for smaller investors like you. You have gradually been purchasing more property, and this is as reported by realtor.com. Okay, what are the reasons for this? Keith Weinhold 30:55 Well, back during the pandemic, you had to compete with owner-occupied buyers, that's when open house lines stretch down the block, and today there are fewer bidders in the room, and small investors are buying because builders are buying down your mortgage rate for you. That's another reason, and the source analysis it found that investors are sticking to affordable Midwest and Sun Belt markets that have strong rental demand. In fact, they're buying at least one out of every five homes in Memphis, Kansas City, St. Louis, Birmingham, and Oklahoma City. Real estate providers know that some prospective owner-occupant homeowners and even some investors-they won't buy anything at today's market mortgage rates, even though you and I know that these rates are historically normal. But providers-they need to stay in business. They need to keep turning things over. They need to sell property. They need to keep their people busy. They're not running museums here, so they're making sure that mortgage rate buydowns happen. And one of the most lucrative sources that I know about for investors is Mid South Homebuyers because they have investment property where the numbers work in Tennessee, Arkansas, and Texas with mortgage rates in the fives and a conventional loan with 25% down. A lot of their income properties cost under 200k, and these are quality homes in decent neighborhoods. I've physically walked inside many of them myself, not by drone, not with a virtual tour, not by AI, and not through some glossy brochure with suspiciously perfect lighting. The reason I'm telling you about this now is that this mortgage rate is one part of their limited triple five program. Here's what else we get as investors: a mortgage rate near 5% like I mentioned, and a 5% property management fee for five years. Though leverage has its benefits, if you decide to pay all cash instead, they provide you with the 5% property management for life, even if you finance later. I think they call that their forever five. Frankly, it's just amazing how many investors rave about the quality of their rehabs and say that their property management never seems to mess up in this industry. I mean, that is about as common as a calm political debate, or perhaps an airline actually improving legroom, and I have helped recommend Mid Health Homebuyers to our listeners for over 11 years. I know some followers that have looked at their available properties and scooped up three properties on one phone call. In fact, where they're based and have a lot of their available properties, Memphis. You know, Memphis has a story where I don't know if any other market in America can tell it right now. Do you know what's happening? Memphis is developing into having both the new brains and the brawn behind AI, and you got more smart money moving there now. Memphis is now home to the world's largest AI supercomputer. It's XAI's Colossus. It's now part of SpaceX. It's the biggest single-site AI facility on the entire planet. Anthropic is paying over a billion dollars a month to run Claude on it. Google just signed a deal worth up to 30 billion starting october 1, and I look forward to announcing that I have got a live event that I am co-hosting for you the day before this happens on september 30. Keith Weinhold 34:56 So yes, that's the night before Google's money starts flowing. Into Memphis in one year, XAI became the second largest taxpayer in Memphis after FedEx, and the city has committed 25% of the property tax revenue from those sites to infrastructure in the surrounding neighborhoods. And when you add in FedEx, because Memphis already moves more physical goods than anywhere else in the country, you can see how Memphis is increasingly becoming the brains of the digital economy, while it's already been the brawn of the physical one. In every other market, you know they showcase things like their population growth and the rent-to-price ratios, and those attributes certainly matter, but now the fact that perhaps the biggest infrastructure story in America is happening in the most affordable major cash flow market—I mean, this is something that almost nobody has connected the dots on. So join me and my two co-hosts that lead Mid South Home Buyers. Keith Weinhold 36:01 We're going to discuss market fundamentals, the AI build out, what it means for jobs, rent in neighborhoods over the next decade, and then a heavy live Q and A on Mid South. You're invited to join me. This is happening again on Wednesday, September 30th. It's at 8p.m. Eastern. Yes, you will have me live. Sign up at getricheducation.com/midsouth. It's a special event as Memphis is positioning to become both the brawn and brains of AI and a property provider that already makes a lot of sense for investors.

Gary discusses three recent items that address the ideas of the intellectual "elites" who believe they know how to understand and fix the world. Their primary solution is to eliminate you and others like you to stop you from messing up the world, but their borrowed capital takes them only so far.
Send us Fan MailAs summer winds down, many of us start imagining the organized, disciplined person we're finally going to become in the fall. The problem is that we often create new routines for an ideal version of ourselves at the exact moment our lives are getting busier. When we can't maintain the plan, we don't question the routine. We question ourselves.This week, on episode 364 of the Fragmented to Whole Podcast, I'm talking about how to create new routines without setting yourself up to fail!In this episode of the Fragmented to Whole Podcast, I'm sharing why routines can become another form of self-abandonment when they ignore your actual energy, capacity, responsibilities, and circumstances. I'm also sharing what happened when I stopped trying to force myself through an ideal strength-training plan and started with two minutes a day instead.Some of the talking points I go over in this episode include:Why routines often fail when you create them for the person you wish you were instead of the person who will actually have to live them.How unrealistic expectations can turn a supportive routine into another form of self-abandonment and self-judgment.What my resistance to a full workout taught me about treating resistance as information instead of proof that I lacked discipline.Why starting with two minutes and gradually ramping up can build a routine you are genuinely willing and able to continue.How self-trust helps you adjust a routine, make room for it, and begin again without treating the change as failure.A routine is supposed to support the life you're actually living. It is not supposed to become another way to override yourself. Choose one routine that would genuinely help you, make the first version smaller than you think it should be, and give yourself time to ramp up. If it doesn't work, you haven't failed. You received information, and you can adjust, simplify, and begin again.Be sure to tune in to all the episodes to receive tons of practical tips on living a more whole life and to hear even more about the points outlined above.Thank you for listening!

This is the first in a series of podcast we are doing going through the songs in our Extravagant Love album. In this episode we talk through what it means to be “holding the line”. Human nature seems to always be looking for the loop holes or as Hosea says "bent on backsliding". Compromise happens so slowly we often do not realize it is happening but by the power of the Holy Spirit God will empower us to go from glory to glory. We pray you are strengthened to hold fast to your faith! Enjoy the first song from the Extravagant Love Album here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=muwhXJI3ix8
Everyone wants freedom.Residual income, passive income - the ability to make money without constantly trading their time for it.So why do so few people actually achieve it?There's one fundamental mistake I see people making over and over again.I see it in the way people invest.I see it in the way people build their Network Marketing businesses.And the frustrating part is that you can be incredibly motivated, work incredibly hard and do everything you've been told to do......while unknowingly moving further away from the result you're trying to create.In this episode, I break down The Biggest Reason People Fail — and the simple shift that can completely change the way you approach your goals.If you're doing all the work but still wondering why freedom feels so far away, this episode is for you.

What if breaking the seven figure ceiling has less to do with working harder and more to do with completely changing how your practice grows? Many clinic owners hit a point where more patients, longer hours, and more personal effort simply create more exhaustion. In this episode, Dr. Lauryn sits down with Allison Maslan to explore what actually has to change when your own capacity becomes the bottleneck.They unpack scalable business models that can help practice owners grow without trading more time for money, including building a team of providers, creating recurring revenue, and acquiring other practices. Allison also explains why owners often wait too long to hire support, how to develop employees into strategic thinkers instead of task takers, why creativity matters in scaling, and how mindset and leadership must evolve alongside your business.Key TakeawaysScaling requires leverage, not simply more volume. If your growth plan is based entirely on seeing more patients yourself, your personal capacity eventually becomes the ceiling of the business.Build a team that multiplies the business. Hiring support earlier, empowering employees to think strategically, and developing other providers allows the practice to grow beyond what the owner can personally produce.Look beyond the traditional chiropractic business model. Memberships, recurring revenue, ancillary services, multiple locations, and practice acquisitions can create new paths to growth without requiring the owner to work more hours.Your leadership and mindset must scale too. Breaking through a revenue plateau requires strategic execution, bigger thinking, creativity, delegation, and a willingness to stop controlling every part of the business yourself.Guest BioAllison Maslan is a Wall Street Journal bestselling author, CEO of Pinnacle Global Network, and business scaling mentor who has built ten successful companies over more than four decades. Through Pinnacle Global Network, she works with CEOs and leadership teams to break through growth plateaus and build companies that can thrive without depending entirely on their founders. She is the author of Scale or Fail and creator of the SCALEit Method, which combines strategic planning, leadership, team development, marketing, sales, cash flow, and mindset to help entrepreneurs multiply their growth, impact, and freedom.Learn more about Allison, Pinnacle Global Network, and how to work with her and her team by visiting their website.Follow Allison on InstagramGet your free copy of Scale Or Fail, Allison's best selling book, by visiting here.

Andy Burnham is the first Prime Minister on How to Fail. Past leaders have run scared of doing a podcast with ‘fail' in the title - but not this one. As he says in this conversation: ‘if you've not succeeded, you have to understand why it happened, and what you're going to do about it.' Wise words from a global leader. Burnham is now our 7th Prime Minister in 10 years, having won a decisive by-election in Makerfield and having received nominations from 94% of Labour MPs in an unopposed leadership contest. In this exclusive episode, recorded at No. 10 North, Andy talks about growing up, how his Catholic faith has shaped his outlook (and whether or not he snuck some communion wine as an altar boy). Plus: imposter syndrome, what he learned from his past failed leadership bids, friendships within politics, how his wife responded to his desire to run for PM, the meaning of ‘home' and whether or not his dad, who suffers from Alzheimer's, knows his son has become Prime Minister. A must-listen, even if we do say so ourselves.
