Many real estate investors assume that holding land for several years automatically qualifies them for favorable capital gains treatment. Unfortunately, that's not always true. In this episode, we break down one of the most misunderstood areas of real estate taxation: dealer status. You'll learn how the IRS determines whether your land is an investment or inventory, why intent alone isn't enough, and how seemingly small decisions before a sale can dramatically impact your tax bill. We discuss the seven factors courts use to evaluate dealer status, real-world tax court cases, why 1031 exchanges and installment sales may no longer apply if you're classified as a dealer, and how entity structuring may help strengthen your position. Whether you're land banking, flipping properties, developing real estate, or simply planning your next investment, understanding these rules could save you hundreds of thousands of dollars in unnecessary taxes.

In this episode of The Truth In This Art, the guest is Bony Ramirez!About Bony Ramirez: Dominican-born artist based out of Jersey City, New Jersey, working across painting, sculpture, and installation to create a vivid celebration and exploration of Dominican life and Caribbean culture. Blending European painting traditions — Renaissance and Mannerist influences drawn from church art — with distinctly Caribbean imagery, symbolism, and materials, Ramirez has built a visual language entirely his own. His elongated, exaggerated figures function almost like landscapes, each one deliberately distinct, never referencing real people but instead pulling from memory and imagination.In our conversation, Ramirez talks through moving to the United States at 13 years old and how that transition shaped both his identity and his relationship to the culture he left behind. He reflects on how being physically close to New York City's art scene, including a stretch living in Harlem, became an essential part of his growth as an artist. Ramirez discusses his responsibility to tell Caribbean stories that are still underrepresented in contemporary art, noting how many people don't even know where his island is.He gets into how his figures evolved — starting from self-taught limitations that became a stylistic signature — and why he keeps cultural markers like plantains, machetes, and crabs, along with bilingual English and Spanish titles, at the forefront of his work, refusing to let that world fade into the background.Be sure to follow Bony Ramirez on Instagram at @bonyramirezz to keep up with his work and future projects.Photo courtesy of subject.

Most energy retailers earn more the more you use. Octopus Energy built its business on the opposite idea — that a utility should help you spend less. Eric Davids, who leads US strategy, explains how: "plunge pricing" alerts at 50–70% off when renewables are abundant, EV tariffs that cut peak demand 42% and save around £650 a year, and the striking claim that a simple behavioural nudge, at scale, can replace a gas peaker plant. Figures are from Octopus's UK operations. Connect with Sohail Hasnie: Facebook @sohailhasnie X (Twitter) @shasnie LinkedIn @shasnie ADB Blog Sohail Hasnie YouTube @energypreneurs
Learn how to build a sales process that creates trust, scales with your team, and frees founders from being the only person who can close deals. Most founders don't actually have a lead problem—they have a sales dependency problem. When every important sales conversation depends on the founder, growth eventually hits a ceiling. Revenue becomes unpredictable, hiring salespeople becomes frustrating, and the business struggles to scale beyond the founder's personal capacity. In this episode, Charles Gaudet sits down with sales expert, author, and military veteran Dan Rochon, author of Teach to Sell, to explore how founders can replace high-pressure sales tactics with a repeatable, trust-based system that anyone on the team can learn. Together, they discuss why great sales conversations feel more like teaching than convincing, how rapport and curiosity outperform pressure, and why the best sales organizations build systems—not superheroes. If you're looking to scale your business beyond seven figures without remaining the bottleneck, this episode is packed with practical strategies you can implement immediately. KEY TAKEAWAYS: Why founders become the biggest sales bottleneck Many entrepreneurs unknowingly build businesses where every important sales conversation depends on them. That creates growth ceilings, limits valuation, and makes scaling nearly impossible. Stop selling the product—sell the transformation Customers don't buy features. They buy the journey from their current frustrations to their desired outcome. Great salespeople sell the destination, not the vehicle. Trust beats pressure every time High-pressure sales tactics may occasionally generate short-term wins, but they destroy long-term relationships. The best sales conversations help prospects make confident decisions instead of forcing them into one. Curiosity is one of the most valuable sales skills Exceptional salespeople spend far more time asking thoughtful questions than delivering presentations. The quality of the conversation is determined by the quality of the questions. Rapport isn't small talk Real rapport comes from demonstrating genuine interest, doing your homework before the call, actively listening, and meeting prospects where they are—not asking about the weather. Systematize your sales process before hiring salespeople Many founders hire experienced sales reps without documenting how their own sales process works. Without a repeatable playbook, even talented salespeople struggle to succeed. How to interview great salespeople Instead of relying on resumes, role-play real sales conversations during the interview process. Watching candidates think, listen, ask questions, and handle objections reveals far more than previous experience alone. Teach your team to sell—not just close When your sales process is built around education instead of persuasion, it becomes far easier to train new team members, create consistency, and remove founder dependency. Emotional intelligence is a competitive advantage The best salespeople recognize changes in energy, adapt their communication style, and prioritize understanding before attempting to influence. The best businesses build trust that scales Predictable revenue comes from predictable sales conversations. When trust, messaging, and communication become systems rather than individual talents, businesses become significantly easier to scale—and ultimately more valuable.

En République démocratique du Congo, direction Kinshasa, dans la commune de Kasavubu. C'est là que se trouve un bar emblématique, ouvert au lendemain de l'indépendance. Une adresse chargée d'histoire, c'est l'un des bars les plus anciens de Kinshasa où se sont produits les plus grands noms de la rumba congolaise et où militants politiques et intellectuels avaient leurs habitudes. De notre correspondante à Kinshasa, Sur la scène du Kimpwanza Bar, l'orchestre de Werrason est en pleine répétition. Les portes du Kimpawanza bar ont ouvert dans les années 1950. À cette époque, les plus grands orchestres de rumba congolaise s'y produisent. Werrason est fier de s'inscrire dans cet héritage. « C'est un endroit historique où nos anciens ont commencé avant nous. Ils ont commencé à répéter là-bas. Les Zaïko Nyoka Longo, Viva La Musica aussi de Papa Wemba. Notre musique, là, qu'on fait, il y a des références. » Sur les murs du Kimpwanza Bar, de grands rideaux noirs et argentés créent une ambiance feutrée propice aux discussions politiques. Le bar était aussi un lieu de rendez-vous des intellectuels de l'époque. Explications de Christian Moleka, politologue. « Les bars à Kinshasa ont été l'ancêtre du café politique où les élites se rencontraient autour des mouvements culturels, puisque les partis politiques n'étaient pas autorisés avant 1955. Et donc, ce sont les mouvements culturels qui se réunissaient, où on lit à la fois mondanité, convivialité et jeu politique. » À lire aussiRDC: les autorités mettent un terme aux «folles nuits» de Kinshasa Les militants de l'Abako Kimpwanza bar Parmi les figures intellectuelles qui s'y retrouvaient, les militants de l'Abako, l'Alliance des Bakongo. D'ailleurs, juste en face du bar, trône la statue de l'ancien président Kasa-Vubu. « Il est habillé en uniforme de commandant suprême des armées et il a justement baptisé Kimpwanza. Ce bar, au nom de Kimpwanza, en kikongo signifie "l'indépendance".» Pierre Anatole Matusila avait 13 ans en 1960. Il est depuis devenu le président de l'Abako, un mouvement culturel qui s'est mué en parti politique. « Après les événements du 4 janvier 1959, quand notre parti était dissous et ses dirigeants arrêtés, les manifestations, les revendications contre l'ordre colonial se sont fait sentir plus au Bas-Congo. Donc, il y avait un grand mouvement pour contraindre la colonisation belge à fixer la date de l'indépendance. Donc, dans ces mouvements, en tout cas, les Bakongo avaient porté le flambeau de ces combats. » L'indépendance du pays est fixée au 30 juin 1960. Grand Kallé compose la célèbre chanson « Indépendance Cha Cha ». Et la légende dit qu'elle est jouée pour la première fois à Kinshasa au Kimpwanza Bar.

But what if that constant pressure isn't ambition at all? What if it's fear wearing a very convincing disguise?In this episode, Alex and Carol unpack the shift from competition to collaboration. They explore why your brain naturally falls into scarcity, why trying to do it all alone feels so exhausting, and how real growth often begins the moment you stop seeing other people as your rivals.Because maybe your next breakthrough isn't hiding in more hustle.Maybe it's hiding in one conversation.Who are you still trying to outperform?And what could become possible if you believed there was enough success for everyone... including you?Your gifts don't become smaller when someone else's shine.

1. Zohran Mamdani and his New York City DSA Policies A city database published names and addresses of owners of certain high-value properties. The hosts characterize this as "doxxing" and argue it could expose property owners to harassment or threats. Mamdani's proposal for city-run grocery stores selling goods below typical market prices is criticized as a socialist or communist policy. Ted and Ben argue that government-run stores could: Undercut private grocery stores and bodegas. Reduce competition. Lead to shortages and inefficiencies. They expand into broader concerns about socialism, communism, and the direction of the Democratic Party. Political Analysis of the Democratic Party The influence of progressive and democratic socialist politicians. Figures such as Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC), Elizabeth Warren, Chuck Schumer, and Gavin Newsom. Predictions about future Democratic leadership and elections. Concerns that more progressive candidates could gain greater influence within the party. 2. Anthony Fauci and COVID-19 Fauci privately acknowledged influencing school closures and lockdown decisions during the COVID-19 pandemic. His private notes allegedly contradict some of his later public statements and congressional testimony. He knew early that the Wuhan seafood market might not have been the original source of COVID-19. He attempted to protect himself and his reputation regarding questions about: School closures. Lockdowns. The origins of COVID-19. Gain-of-function research. Ted and Bedn characterize Fauci as: A narcissist. Media-focused. Dishonest in his public communications during the pandemic.

How much work do you do to keep your household running smoothly? Figures suggest domestic work still falls mostly to women - leading to resentment and burnout. This week we're hearing from Indonesia and Croatia about projects helping change that. In rural Indonesia we visit the island of Rote - and hear how men there are overturning centuries-long attitudes to male and female roles and learning how to cook for their children and look after their homes.In Croatia we meet the men taking part in the ‘Superdads' programme where they discover that cleaning and doing chores brings them closer to their families. It's run by Status M – the only NGO in the country tackling gender-based violence by talking to men about masculinity.People Fixing The World from the BBC is about brilliant solutions to the world's problems.

Neil Lanctot, author of The Approaching Storm: Roosevelt, Wilson, Addams, and Their Clash Over America's Future, introduces the three primary figures of the narrative in 1912: Jane Addams, Theodore Roosevelt (TR), and Woodrow Wilson. All three identified as progressives, though their interpretations of the movement differed significantly. Addams, a world-renowned social reformer and founder of Hull House, broke tradition by nominating TR for the presidency under the new Progressive Party. She viewed progressivism through the lens of social justice, suffrage, and labor reform. TR, at 53, had transformed into a "radical" progressive, advocating for aggressive corporate reform and women's suffrage to align with a changing nation. Meanwhile, Woodrow Wilson, the scholarly Governor of New Jersey, focused on economic progressivism and the Jeffersonian ideal of breaking up trusts. Despite their shared intellectual depth and elite educations, the three leaders possessed vastly different temperaments, ranging from Roosevelt's "freakish" photographic memory to Wilson's more labored academic style.

SCHEDULE FOR THE JOHN BATCHELOR SHOW, 7-24-20261940 BERLINJeff Bliss reports from Los Angeles, where Mayor Karen Bass's "Inside Safe" program faces scrutiny as figures show 41% of participants returned to homelessness. Encampments have expanded significantly, with Skid Row growing from five blocks to over 50. Bliss notes that organized crime cartels reportedly rent dilapidated RVs to the homeless, profiting from government stipends. Despite rising homelessness rates and disappointing results, local politicians are criticized for a lack of accountability and for fostering a "homelessness industry." (1)Jeff Bliss notes the Oakland Athletics are preparing for a move to Las Vegas, with high-profile investor Mark Cubanjoining as a minority owner to boost the franchise's profile. Development plans include a unique heart-shaped hotel on a previously failed ferris wheel site near the future stadium. Meanwhile, Hollywood faces "creative destruction" as Pixarinitiates layoffs despite box office success. Additionally, location shoot bookings in Los Angeles have dropped 13%, signaling a shift in the film industry. (2)Richard Epstein critiques the Smithsonian's "Many Voices, One Nation" exhibit for its "woke" portrayal of American history. He argues the exhibit unfairly reduces Benjamin Franklin to an "alleged racist" while ignoring his foundational contributions. Epstein highlights the complexity of figures like Thomas Jefferson, who authored the Declaration of Independence yet held restrictive views on immigration. The discussion underscores a perceived ideological mono-culture within the history profession that prioritizes narrative over factual nuance. (3)Richard Epstein analyzes the Trump administration's reintroduction of tariffs, now targeting allies like Australia and the EU under the guise of combating "forced labor." Epstein characterizes these moves as "lawfare" and "mindless isolationism," noting that these allies often have superior working conditions compared to the U.S. He warns that such policies alienate essential partners needed to counter global threats from Russia, Iran, and China, effectively driving allies to organize independently. (4)Jim McTague reports from Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, where Costco gas prices have reached $4.09, causing "mind-numbing" costs for residents. While some business slowdowns are noted, local diners remain full, supported by a robust retiree demographic with "deep pockets." The real estate market is exceptionally tight, with only 200 homes available as New Yorkers continue to bid up prices for high-quality housing. McTague concludes with observations on local tourism and his upcoming road trip to Kentucky. (5)Lorenzo Fiato reports Italy is battling severe wildfires in Sicily and Sardinia amid a prolonged heatwave. Fiato reports that Italians face exorbitant fuel costs, reaching $9.50 per gallon on motorways due to heavy taxation. To avoid over-tourism in cities like Florence, he recommends visiting Ascoli Piceno, the "town of the 100 towers," known for its travertine architecture. He concludes with culinary recommendations, including the traditional Spaghetti Ascolana paired with local Pecorino or Rosso Piceno wines. (6)Bob Zimmerman reports Rocket Lab has secured major Pentagon contracts for hypersonic test launches, potentially utilizing a remote new facility in Alaska. SpaceX is rumored to be planning a massive spaceport in Louisiana, while Northrop Grumman is successfully deploying robotic satellite-servicing pods. Conversely, Zimmerman criticizes "leftist governments" in the UK and Australia for stifling their domestic space industries with excessive red tape and "meaningless bureaucratic jargon," which forces young aerospace talent to seek opportunities abroad. (7)Bob Zimmerman highlights the "bankruptcy" of modern academia, citing a study where half of social science papers failed replication tests. He discusses an upcoming Falcon 9 rocket impact on the moon scheduled for August 5th and new data from the Juno mission revealing Io's subsurface temperatures. Additionally, scientists are investigating whether a suspected asteroid is actually a failed 1980s Soviet Mars probe, although Zimmerman remains skeptical of speculative theories involving alien technology. (8)Henry Sokolski examines a proposed deal to provide Saudi Arabia with nuclear power that has sparked intense proliferation concerns. While the Department of Energy initially signaled a "green light," the Trump administration later conditioned the agreement on Saudi Arabia joining the Abraham Accords. Sokolski warns that without "Additional Protocol" inspections, the kingdom could use the technology to develop a "bomb option." This follows the Crown Prince's 2018 assertion that Saudi Arabia would seek nuclear weapons if Iran acquired them. (9)Henry Sokolski continues: the Saudi nuclear deal remains "contradictory," with the White House and Department of Energy appearing out of sync. Media criticism reportedly prompted the president to demand a "quid pro quo"—Saudi recognition of Israel—to justify the proliferation risks. Israel remains in a difficult position; while desiring normalization, it privately opposes a Saudi nuclear program that could trigger a regional arms race. The deal's progress depends on whether it is submitted to Congress by late September. (10)Peter Huessy explains "extended deterrence," the U.S. nuclear umbrella protecting allies from aggression. Huessy critiques a proposal to delegate nuclear authority to a "three-key" system involving France and the UK, arguing it would create dangerous indecision during a crisis. He notes that allies increasingly doubt U.S. resolve. Strategy has shifted toward "counterforce" targets, aiming to disable an enemy's leadership and military capability rather than destroying cities, to provide "flexible response" options. (11)Peter Huessy notes Russia holds a 20-to-1 advantage over the U.S. in "theater" or tactical nuclear weapons, which Putinuses for "nuclear blackmail" to keep NATO out of the Ukraine conflict. Huessy argues the U.S. must deploy survivable, sea-based theater weapons to restore a credible deterrent. Reflecting on the realistic horror of the 1984 film Threads, he warns that even a single tactical exchange could rapidly escalate into a global catastrophe that ends civilization. (12)Captain James Fanell reports China is escalating physical violence against Philippine Navy personnel at Second Thomas Shoal, including "poking, prodding, and beating" sailors. Fanell explains this "petulant" behavior coincides with the 10th anniversary of a Hague ruling that invalidated China's maritime claims. Simultaneously, China and Russiaconducted joint live-fire drills in Japan's exclusive economic zone. These coordinated actions signal Beijing's intent to ignore international law and forcibly challenge the sovereignty of its neighbors. (13)Captain James Fanell reports China recently conducted its first submarine-launched ballistic missile test in the South Pacific in 40 years. Fanell reports that China has shifted to a "first use" nuclear policy and is completing its triad with the H-20 stealth bomber. He uses the "boiling frog" analogy to describe China's incremental aggression, warning that the U.S.must recognize these self-evident intentions before a "shot" is taken against regional forces or allies like Taiwan. (14)Conrad Black disputes Prime Minister Mark Carney's characterization of Canada as a "middle power," arguing the term is obsolete for a G7 nation with a larger economy than Russia. He critiques Carney's attempt to foster ties with China, noting China's "tatters" economy and history of disregarding trade agreements. Black maintains that Canada should prioritize its vital relationship with the U.S. while embracing a more ambitious and patriotic view of its global influence. (15)Veronique de Rugy argues autonomous vehicles like Waymo could reduce road fatalities by 94%, yet their adoption is stalled by opposition from trial lawyers and unions. Unions fear job losses for taxi, truck, and delivery drivers, though de Rugy argues automation historically transitions workers into higher-paying, less tedious roles. She emphasizes that driverless cars would provide life-changing accessibility for rural and elderly populations who currently lack reliable transportation options. (16)
Jeff Bliss reports from Los Angeles, where Mayor Karen Bass's "Inside Safe" program faces scrutiny as figures show 41% of participants returned to homelessness. Encampments have expanded significantly, with Skid Row growing from five blocks to over 50. Bliss notes that organized crime cartels reportedly rent dilapidated RVs to the homeless, profiting from government stipends. Despite rising homelessness rates and disappointing results, local politicians are criticized for a lack of accountability and for fostering a "homelessness industry." (1)1900 LA

Kaitlyn Tiffany recounts how, following JFK's assassination, Lyndon Johnson convened the Warren Commission to consolidate intelligence from the FBI, CIA, and Dallas police. The commission included controversial figures like Allen Dulles and Gerald Ford, the latter of whom clandestinely back-channeled with the FBI. Chief Justice Earl Warren was reluctant to serve, fearing the political nature of the committee and its impact on the American image. Critically, the commission lacked its own independent investigative staff. (5)1961

Whatever you've done, there's a very good chance you can recover. That's the message of this week's show — and then Ben and Dan get specific, decade by decade, about the mistakes that quietly sink retirements and the moves that rescue them.In this week's Money On Tap, Ben Brayshaw and Dan Michelon walk through the money mistakes of every stage of life. The 20s and 30s: waiting to invest, lifestyle inflation, and treating insurance as a nuisance instead of what it really is — protection of your ability to retire. The 40s — the squeeze years: turning off the 401(k) match to pay the bills (walking away from free money), getting too comfortable with debt, and skipping the tax planning that builds tax-free assets for later. The 50s — the catch-up years: catch-up contributions, the HSA "triple threat," the backdoor Roth, and the fear-driven mistake of going too conservative too soon. And in retirement itself: the light-switch move to cash, target-date funds past their date, scattered old 401(k)s, chasing a "number" instead of an income, and the biggest one of all — no plan for a health change.What you'll learn:Why your 20s and 30s are the most powerful investing decade you'll ever get — and what lifestyle inflation really costsInsurance reframed: insuring well-being, not events — and why long-term care planning protects the healthy spouseThe 401(k) match rule for the squeeze years: never walk away from free moneyWhen to shift from investment planning to retirement planning — and why the goal is an income number, not a total numberThe catch-up toolkit for your 50s: 401(k) and IRA catch-ups, the HSA triple threat, and the backdoor RothWhy "too conservative too soon" quietly loses money backwards — and how segmentation puts risk and security in one strategyThe bucket strategy in action: a real case of a 60%-bond portfolio, a 4.5% withdrawal rate, and a first-home gift — rescuedFoundational expenses: the income planning step most people skip before retiringThe health-change plan: estate documents, powers of attorney, and why waiting can mean it's too late to signPlus Money In The News:Alphabet set for a blockbuster quarter as AI bets collide with spending fears — why this AI buildout isn't the dot-com eraPhased tariffs on generic drugs: 90% of U.S. prescriptions are generics, and most aren't made hereFidelity's new number: retirees may need nearly $186,000 for healthcare — up 7.5% in a yearWant the Retirement Rescue white paper?

Meanwhile the equal-weight S&P 500 is up more than double the cap-weighted index, and over 300 individual S&P stocks are beating it, led by healthcare and industrials near 24%. The fix isn't leaving the market — it's diversification: equal-weight exposure, sector funds, and a rebalancing discipline that trims concentration back to your plan.

When business slows down. When you feel ready.But what if that delay is keeping you stuck?In this episode, Alex and Carol unpack why so many high achievers avoid getting close to their numbers, not because they aren't capable, but because their brain is trying to protect them. They explore how guilt, overwhelm, perfectionism, and old money stories quietly keep you reacting instead of leading.The surprising part? The breakthrough doesn't come from working harder. It comes from making one small, consistent shift your brain actually feels safe enough to repeat.Where are you choosing uncertainty because certainty feels uncomfortable?And what could change if you spent just a few intentional minutes getting curious instead of judgmental?Power doesn't come from having perfect numbers.It comes from being willing to look.
Michelle Flynn was living the recruitment dream. Twenty placements a month as a solo recruiter. Working 9:30 to 4:30. Every single client on exclusive, no staff, no cold calls, and a seat inside her clients' offices where offers closed almost on autopilot. Then, three months after her wedding, at age 39, she woke up with a severe pain down the left side of her chest and hit the floor. Her husband thought he had lost her.
Despite attracting its biggest television audience in years, the ANZ Premiership is set to record a significant loss of around $3.7 million in 2026, casting further doubt over the future of New Zealand's domestic netball competition. Netball New Zealand board chair Alastair Carruthers said the shortfall would be covered by the organisation's cash reserves, but warned that approach could not continue. Speaking on Newstalk ZB's Mike Hosking Breakfast, Carruthers admitted the loss would be hard to cover, adding that the overall deficit for Netball New Zealand would be far greater. “It's going to be hard to cover,” Carruthers said. “We do have reserves sufficient to deal with it this year. “The board last year, when committing to the third year of this this premiership, knew that it had reserves that that would cover the loss, but [the loss] is bigger than we expected. “I think it's important to note that also this year Netball New Zealand in total is likely to run up a loss greater than $3.7m. It's going to be close to $6m. Reserves will cover this year. “I don't think next year is going to be easy to cover at that level from our reserves position, so we need to start redesigning our business and redesigning the way that this competition is played.” The loss is part of the fallout after it was revealed Netball New Zealand emailed coaches and staff at the Northern Stars, Mainland Tactix and Waikato Bay of Plenty Magic telling them their contracts cannot be extended at this stage. The three franchises are all run by Netball New Zealand, while the Northern Mystics, Central Pulse and Southern Steel are run by their respective netball zones. Carruthers is adamant the governing body remained committed to maintaining a strong domestic competition while ensuring the long-term health of the sport. With that in mind, Netball New Zealand has agreed to change the eligibility requirements for Silver Ferns selection, following discussions with the Players Association with an eye on the 2027 Netball World Cup. Players who choose to sign with overseas clubs will now remain eligible for Silver Ferns selection. The change takes effect immediately for the current selection cycle and will continue for the duration of any multi-year overseas contract. Netball NZ Board Chair Alastair Carruthers. Photo / Photosport “Any player is welcome to play anywhere in the world if they wish to and will still be eligible for selection for the for the Silver Ferns,” Carruthers said. “We did that because while there is uncertainty about what form of domestic competition we can offer at home, people need freedom of choice and the opportunity to keep working and the opportunity to keep playing at an elite level.” He said any future model would continue to prioritise a high-quality domestic competition, alongside supporting community netball. The big financial loss comes despite the ANZ Premiership attracting 1.05 million unique television viewers on TVNZ this season, excluding audiences who watched live or on demand via TVNZ. Figures obtained by the Herald show that represents a 16% increase on 2025 and a 64% increase since 2024. The average live television audience for an ANZ Premiership fixture was 51,800, a 32% increase on 2025 for the average number of people watching a game live on TV2. The grand final between the Northern Mystics and Southern Steel saw a 60% increase in viewership, with more than 120,000 New Zealanders watching live – the most ever. Before that, 82,159 viewers had tuned in for the elimination final, 25,742 more than last year. The overall average attendance for the ANZ Premiership is up 3.2%, following a 15% jump in 2024. In total, 70,236 fans attended games, including the finals. Social media presence has also increased with the official ANZ Premiership pages (not including teams) having seen a 33% increase in followers, totalling 166,500. Carruthers expects discussions to continue with broadcasters for at least a few more months. Ben Francis is an Auckland-based reporter for the New Zealand Herald who covers breaking sports news.

It's not just Andy Burnham who's been purging politicians from government.There's a wartime power struggle in Ukraine, where Volodymyr Zelenskyy ousted his top army commander Oleksandr Syrskyi – before trying to bring the country's former defence minister Mykhailo Fedorov back into government, just days after dismissing him.The sacking of Fedorov led to almost a week of nationwide unrest and represents one of the biggest political crises since Russia's full-scale invasion in 2022.So, what does all this mean for Ukraine's ongoing struggle for survival?

We're still surprised people did this but... 50+ founders worth $10M to $4B reveal their personal finances. Here it is: https://joinhampton.com/mw-wrWhy do we do this? Because if you're an aspirational person or someone who runs a business and is making money, it's incredibly challenging to figure out what to do. Information is impossible to find — and that's what we put together: the net worth reveal and why we do this podcast, Moneywise.He got his first $5M check and expected to feel superhuman. The next day was one of the most disappointing of his life.Jesse Pujji walked away from a Goldman Sachs job where he made $500K at 25 — with a boss making $3M and a group head making $20M — to bootstrap an ad agency on $33K per partner and a stack of Amex cards. Ampush cracked the Facebook arbitrage before almost anyone: $100K in monthly revenue in June 2010 became $2M a month with $600K in EBITDA fourteen months later. He scaled it to half a billion in annual ad spend and 250 employees without raising a dollar, turned down $25M at 27, sold 20% to Red Ventures in 2015, and sold the whole thing to New Mountain Capital in 2022 for somewhere between $40M and $60M on a 35% stake. He never got the nine-figure number he made up in his head, and he says chasing it was the mistake.This episode gets into the exact allocation of a post-exit portfolio, why Jesse refuses to let his advisors put illiquid startup equity on his balance sheet, what $500K a year of "normal" spending actually buys, and why he asked his financial advisor how people possibly spend more than that. He's honest about the gap between the money he expected to change him and the money that didn't. And we spend real time on the part most founders avoid: three kids who never saw him grind, a Greenlight allowance split into thirds, a $63 JCPenney paycheck at 16 that taught him more than any of it, and the question of whether to leave them anything at all.Also, this podcast is made by Hampton, which is a community for founders doing on average $20 million a year in revenue.

Heatwave conditions are particularly testing for dairy cows, and dairy farmers. Figures from the industry body, the AHDB, showed a 34 million litre reduction in milk arriving at British processors in June this year, compared to the same time last year, with the record temperatures the main cause. The UK is not alone, drops in milk production in Germany and France are bringing one small glimmer of hope. There are signs that the long slump in prices brought about by a global oversupply is starting to reverse.Andy Burnham moves into 10 Downing Street today, as he becomes the UK's 59th Prime Minister, the seventh in ten years. The relationship between Sir Keir Starmer's government and the farming community soured over Inheritance Tax, and England's stop-start sustainable farming incentive. Wildlife and landscape conservation groups were less than enamoured with a shift in emphasis away from protection and towards 'build baby build'. So what's the one thing they want the new Prime Minister to make his priority?The Royal Welsh Show begins today, and all week we're exploring how Welsh farming policy is evolving.Presenter: Charlotte Smith Producer: Sarah Swadling

Success doesn't eliminate stress—it often amplifies it. Many founders spend years mastering strategy, sales, marketing, and leadership, yet continue to battle overwhelm, burnout, strained relationships, and self-sabotaging habits. The problem isn't usually a lack of knowledge. It's the invisible patterns driving their decisions. In this episode of Beyond Seven Figures, Charles Gaudet sits down with transformational coach Joey Klein, who has spent more than two decades helping high achievers, A-list celebrities, and nine-figure CEOs unlock higher levels of performance by changing how they operate internally. Together, they explore why emotional regulation—not willpower—is the foundation of sustained success, why so many entrepreneurs unknowingly make decisions from fear instead of clarity, and how a simple mindset shift (involving a memorable blueberry pie) can permanently change the way you approach business and life. If you've ever felt like you're achieving more while enjoying it less, this conversation will challenge the way you think about performance. KEY TAKEAWAYS: Why emotional management—not time management—is the biggest challenge facing high-performing founders. The three struggles nearly every successful CEO experiences, regardless of company size. How stress quietly reduces cognitive performance and decision-making ability. Why your business success often comes at the expense of your health and relationships—and how to prevent it. The surprising reason silence creates some of your best business ideas. A simple morning exercise to improve focus, emotional awareness, and daily performance. Why constantly revisiting your past may actually keep you stuck. How to stop operating from fear-based habits and start making decisions aligned with your future. The neuroscience behind motivation, habits, and self-sabotage. The "Blueberry Pie" framework for overcoming temptation, distractions, and impulsive decisions.

William Randolph Hearst and the "Soak the Rich" Tensions Guest: David Pietrusza Book Title: Roosevelt Sweeps Nation: FDR's 1936 Landslide and the Triumph of the Liberal Ideal One of the most formidable figures Roosevelt had to manage was media tycoon William Randolph Hearst, who controlled a vast empire of 28 newspapers and eight radio stations. Hearst's political allegiances were notoriously fickle; he had supported Roosevelt in 1932 only after caving to pressure to avoid a candidate he liked even less. However, as the New Deal moved leftward, Hearst became increasingly hostile. His power was so great that in 1934 he visited Adolf Hitler in Berlin. While Hearst claimed the meeting was brief, other accounts suggest a longer discussion where Hearst attempted to raise the issue of the persecution of Jews, though the visual of the meeting severely damaged his reputation. The final break between Hearst and Roosevelt came over the President's "Soak the Rich" tax program. Hearst, who earned over $100 million a year, was outraged by the proposal to raise taxes on the wealthy. In response, Roosevelt privately noted that it might be necessary to "throw 46 men who make a million dollars a year to the wolves," including Hearst. Hearst subsequently ordered his editors to promote Republican candidate Alf Landon, using his "column inches" to saturate the public with pro-Landon content. Despite this media onslaught, Hearst's popularity was in decline, and Roosevelt's willingness to confront the nation's wealthiest interests resonated with a public still struggling through the Great Depression.

The Townsend Plan and the Radio Priest Guest: David Pietrusza Book Title: Roosevelt Sweeps Nation: FDR's 1936 Landslide and the Triumph of the Liberal Ideal Two unconventional figures heavily influenced Roosevelt's 1936 strategy: Dr. Francis Townsend and Father Charles Coughlin. Townsend, a physician, gained a massive following with his plan to provide $200 a month to everyone over 60, provided they retired and spent the money within 30 days. Though Roosevelt initially disliked the idea of "government checks," the political pressure from Townsend Clubs forced his hand. Consequently, Social Security was introduced largely as a reactive measure to neutralize Townsend's momentum. Meanwhile, Father Coughlin, a Canadian-born Roman Catholic priest, became a radio sensation with a voice that rivaled Roosevelt's for intimacy and warmth. Initially a supporter who coined the phrase "Roosevelt or Ruin," Coughlin turned against the President when he felt his influence on monetary policy was ignored. In a surreal meeting arranged by Joseph P. Kennedy at Hyde Park in September 1935 — the morning after Huey Long's death — Coughlin and FDR spent six hours conferring. The meeting failed to reconcile them, and Coughlin soon teamed up with Townsend and Gerald L.K. Smith to form the Union Party. They nominated Congressman William Lemke to run for president, hoping to force the election into the House of Representatives. However, as political amateurs, they struggled to even get on the ballot in major states like New York or California, ultimately failing to derail the Roosevelt machine. (3)
