Travis Richie has a very unique story. In spite of growing up in a single parent home, his young life was good. Showing a propensity for numbers and finance, he found himself deep and successful in that field. An oversight in his venture capital world found him in prison in Arizona, where his perceptions of the incarcerated community took an immediate turn. During his 15 months down, he became a bit of an instructor, helping his fellow inmates learn successful financial skills. His booklet, Don't Buy a Cheeseburger with a Credit Card, has developed into the largest non-governmental, non-profit organization serving the incarcerated population. Currently, his program is in over 1,300 prisons across the United States. Like me, only on a grander scale, he has drank the Kool-Aid of the necessity of prison reform. If you're interested in creating change and growth, you will love his story.

"Take that step back and look at how the fabric that we exist in with our industries can change...I think there is so much room to embrace the opportunities, a challenge generally means there is money to be made as soon as you figure out how to do it." This podcast is a part of a series of episodes that will be coming out from now until Spring 2025 covering the AEC Summit in Austin, Texas April 23rd – 25th 2025. We encourage our listeners and partners to share and engage with us during this conference coverage! Use the promo code “AOCMFER” that will take $250 off registration. In this conversation, Devon Tilly and co-host Nathan Wood chat withNick Caravella in preparation for the  AEC Summit in Austin, Texas in April 2025! With over a decade of experience in the industry, Nick Caravella has a unique outlook by starting his career as an architect. His passion for using new technology on projects led him to a career in construction technology, where he worked in a series of product and community focused initiatives which further highlighted how companies could be enabling growth through optimizing their technology approach. Through this journey, Nick joined Avicado Construction Technology Services, where he currently works as the Director of Growth and Industry Strategy, as well as the Host/Producer of the company's construction technology podcast, Wired to Build. His background in architecture and expertise with technology provides a unique background that understands the needs of the AEC-O industry and how to apply the solutions being created to the problems we're trying to solve today. Nick holds a Bachelor of Architecture degree from the New Jersey Institute of Technology and is a registered Architect. Co-host Nathan Wood understands how rewarding the design and construction process can be when technology and culture embrace a new era of innovation. Nathan first earned his reputation as an industry thought leader in 2011, sharing his award-winning implementation of virtual design and construction (VDC) while working on integrated project delivery (IPD) healthcare projects. Nathan strives to share the best practices and lessons learned he's gathered from over 100 project teams spanning the US, Europe, and the Middle East. These experiences have taught him that when it comes to adopting technology in construction, it's not one size fits all. For that reason, Nathan founded SpectrumAEC with a clear goal — solving the human barriers to new process and technology adoption. As SpectrumAEC's founder and chief enabling officer, Nathan helps organizations and project teams successfully adopt change through executive strategy sessions and end user workshops. Nathan continues to support industry progression through conference presentations, academic papers, and as President of the Construction Progress Coalition.

Be guided as you focus on the Stoic virtue of kindness. Life presents us with countless opportunities to extend compassion and understanding, even in challenging situations. This meditation will help us cultivate a mindset of kindness, transforming obstacles into moments of human connection. THIS WEEK'S THEME: The Stoic's Gaze Welcome to this week's meditation series: "The Stoic's Gaze: Perceiving Opportunity in All." In each episode this week, you're guided with the mental tools to transform challenges into pathways for personal growth and virtuous living, directly inspired by Stoic philosophy. Each session focuses on a core Stoic virtue and offers practical techniques to shift perspective and find hidden opportunities within adversity. The series begins by establishing the foundational Stoic understanding that external events are largely outside your control, but your responses and interpretations are entirely within your power. It emphasizes that challenges, rather than being mere obstacles, are opportunities to practice and strengthen Stoic virtues like kindness, patience, resilience, wisdom, courage, and self-control. Each meditation session will guide you through a process of reframing your perception of challenging situations. You're invited to observe your initial emotional reactions without judgment, and then intentionally shift your focus to the potential for growth and virtue.

In this episode of "Shark Theory," host Baylor Barbee explores the transformative power of taking action, particularly in facing life's adversities and uncertainties. Using an anecdote about the stark temperature changes in Dallas, Texas, Baylor illustrates how action can alter our perception and experience of external circumstances. The episode delves into understanding how our responses to life's metaphorical "storms" shape our ability to thrive despite the challenges we face. Baylor emphasizes the importance of proactive behavior amidst life's unpredictable elements. He discusses how action, rather than external factors, such as industry trends or societal pressures, defines our success and mental state. Highlighting the concept of becoming an "action-taker," Baylor urges listeners to adopt a perspective where adversity is met with strategic movement instead of complacency. The discussion sheds light on finding calm in chaos by learning from those who excel despite facing similar challenges and encourages listeners to embrace the seasonal nature of life's ups and downs. Key Takeaways: Action Changes Perception: Taking action can transform how you perceive and experience adversities or uncomfortable situations. Proactivity Overcomes Fear: Idleness can amplify fears, whereas proactive behavior can lead to breakthrough and confidence. Learning from Leaders: Observing and aligning with those who seem calm in chaos can provide new strategies for personal growth. Seasonal Mindset: Recognize that life's challenges are temporary; the seasons of life change, and each offers unique opportunities for development. Finding Opportunity in Adversity: In every crisis or storm, look for opportunities to grow and succeed by shifting focus from the problem to the solution.

I'm Mike Wilson, Morgan Stanley's CIO and Chief US Equity Strategist. Today on the podcast I'll be discussing equities in the context of higher rates and weaker earnings revisions. It's Tuesday, Feb 18th at 11:30am in New York. So let's get after it.Since early December, the S&P 500 has made little headway. The almost unimpeded run from the summer was halted by a few things but none as important as the rise in 10-year Treasury yields, in my view. In December, we cited 4 to 4.5 percent as the sweet spot for equity multiples assuming growth and earnings remained on track. We viewed 4.5 percent as a key level for equity valuations. And sure enough, when the Fed leaned less dovish at its December meeting, yields crossed that 4.5 percent threshold; and correlations between stocks and yields settled firmly in negative territory, where they remain. In other words, yields are no longer supportive of higher valuations—a key driver of returns the past few years. Instead, earnings are now the primary driver of returns and that is likely to remain the case for the foreseeable future. While the Fed was already increasingly less dovish, the uncertainty on tariffs and last week's inflation data could further that shift with the bond market moving to just one cut for the rest of the year. Our official call is in line with that view with our economists now just looking for just one cut–in June. It depends on how the inflation and growth data roll in. Our strategy has shifted, too. With the S&P 500 reaching our tactical target of 6100 in December and earnings revision breadth now rolling over for the index, we have been more focused on sectors and factors. In particular, we've favored areas of the market showing strong earnings revisions on an absolute or relative basis.Financials, Media and Entertainment, Software over Semiconductors and Consumer Services over Goods continue to fit that bill. Within Defensives, we have favored Utilities over Staples, REITs and Healthcare. While we've seen outperformance in all these trades, we are sticking with them, for now. We maintain an overriding preference for Large-cap quality unless 10-year Treasury yields fall sustainably below 4.5 percent without a meaningful degradation in growth. The key component of 10-year yields to watch for equity valuations remains the term premium – which has come down, but is still elevated compared to the past few years. Other macro developments driving stock prices include the very active policy announcements from the White House including tariffs, immigration enforcement, and cost cutting efforts by the Department of Government Efficiency, also known as DOGE. For tariffs, we believe they will be more of an idiosyncratic event for equity markets. However, if tariffs were to be imposed and maintained on China, Mexico and Canada through 2026, the impact to earnings-per-share would be roughly 5-7 percent for the S&P 500. That's not an insignificant reduction and likely one of the reasons why guidance this past quarter was more muted than fourth quarter results. Industries facing greater headwinds from China tariffs include consumer discretionary goods and electronics. Lower immigration flow and stock is more likely to affect aggregate demand than to be a wage cost headwind, at least for public companies. Finally, skepticism remains high as it relates to DOGE's ability to cut Federal spending meaningfully. I remain more optimistic on that front, but realize greater success also presents a headwind to growth before it provides a tailwind via lower fiscal deficits and less crowding out of the private economy—things that could lead to more Fed cuts and lower long-term interest rates as term premium falls. Bottom line, higher backend rates and growth headwinds from the stronger dollar and the initial policy changes suggest equity multiples are capped for now. That means stock, factor and sector selection remains key to performance rather than simply adding beta to one's portfolio. On that score, we continue to favor earnings revision breadth, quality, and size factors alongside financials, software, media/entertainment and consumer services at the industry level.

Our Global Head of Thematic Research Ed Stanley discusses how artificial intelligence is changing and what could be in store for investors in 2025.----- Transcript -----Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Ed Stanley, Morgan Stanley's Global Head of Thematic Research. Today I'll discuss how understanding AI's rate of change can generate alpha in the year of AI agents.It's Tuesday, the 14th of January, at 2 PM in London.Even if you haven't been using artificial intelligence in your work or home life yet – you'll doubtless have heard about its capabilities by now. Tasked, for example, with drafting an elevator pitch for a 100-page report; it's a tedious task at the best of times. But using an AI model not only does it become a breeze, but these models can also generate you a podcast – if you so wish – through which to disseminate it, and almost in any language conceivable. But now imagine the algorithm begins thinking through multi-stage processes itself – planning, executing – to generate that 100-page report itself, in the first place. That … is an example of Agentic AI. As the name implies, this next phase of AI development is where software programs gain agency, transitioning from reactive chatbots that we've been using into proactive task fulfillment agents. And this transition is happening now. Over the past 36 months, we've gone from reliable output that can displace or supplement 5-second or 5-minute tasks, such as translation or quick summaries, to models that are providing reliable output for 15-minute tasks, 1-hour tasks – like the ones that I just mentioned. And each time the skeptics have claimed that model improvements are slowing down, and thus call into question the returns on hundreds of billions of dollars that have been spent on AI infrastructure, the AI research labs manage to take another leap forward, surprising even seasoned analysts. That's why we think this is such an important trend for 2025. AI Adopter companies that can leverage these agents will start to pull ahead of their peers. And as a result, tracking AI's evolution in the materiality of companies' investment cases, we think, has never been more important. Since our first AI Adopter survey in January 2024 to our latest just published in January 2025, we've seen profound shifts in the thousands of stocks that we cover globally. This ongoing transformation not only underscores that AI's diffusion is advancing rapidly, but that we're still very much in its early innings.To understand the breakneck speed of the AI evolution through the lens of its impact on the stock markets, we need to wrap our heads around the concept of “rate of change.” We just published the third iteration of our AI mapping survey of 3,700 global stocks under coverage. And it reveals that 585 of those stocks had their AI exposure or materiality to investment case changed by our analysts – and that is just versus 6 months ago. And it impacts around $14 trillion of global market cap. And this rate of change in AI isn't just a buzzword; it's a tangible metric driving outperformance. So, if we look back in the second half of last year, 2024, stocks where our analysts previously increased both AI exposure and materiality in our last survey – went on to outperform broader equity markets by over 20 per cent in the second half of 2024. If we apply the same logic looking forward, where do we think most outperformance is going to come from? It's in those same stocks where our analysts have just upgraded the exposure and materiality to the investment case. Beyond this simple screen for AI outperformers we think there are three other key conclusions from our latest survey. The first is AI Enabler stocks with Rising Materiality, within which we believe that Semiconductors, which have outperformed well, might soon pass the baton to the Software layer in terms of equity market dominance. Second, Adopters with Pricing Power. These are companies that adopt AI early and use it to expand their margins but sustainably, without having to give it back to their customers. And the third is Financial stocks, in particular, where AI Rate of Change has been the fastest of any sector in our global coverage – in terms of the efficiency gains that we think it can manifest for the share prices. So all in all, 2025 promises a slew of significant developments in AI, and, of course, we'll be here to bring you all of the updates. Thank you for listening.

Key Topics Amy Rowlinson00:03:0000:03:19 "Bound by Purpose: A Timeless Collaboration": "This is a cowritten book which spans generations. I wrote it with my grandfather, but he's no longer alive. How is that possible? Well, I found a couple of years ago, just after my grandmother died, a journal that he'd kept for 5 years as a prisoner of war." Amy Rowlinson00:12:0500:12:32 Finding Opportunity in Adversity: "There are always going to be obstacles in life. There are always going to be circumstances which are beyond our control, and that's one of the reasons I used my grandfather's story to share his journey because he was confined in captivity for 5 years as a prisoner of war. There were lots of things that he was unable to control, but what he could do was he was able to learn, study, build his skills up." Amy Rowlinson00:17:3000:17:34 The Power of Purpose: "It's not you you're not gonna get very far in life if you try and go alone." Amy Rowlinson00:20:1900:20:33 "The Power of Reflection": "So the reflection with action is a practice that allows you to not just react, not just be constantly reacting to every moment that happens without even thinking." Amy Rowlinson00:23:0800:23:22 Timeless Values: "The focus of my talk was on 3 elements that are etched in stone in the Victory Services Club reception, and that was about common treasures, memories of friendship, and brave deeds." Amy Rowlinson00:25:5500:26:16 Discovering Your Inner Self: "It's about stripping back the societal, cultural, familial influences that maybe you've taken on board. You've you've been brought up in those various paradigms, and you've taken them on, and you then realize that, actually, I don't need or I don't feel that that's how I want to live out my life." Amy Rowlinson00:29:3200:29:45 "Guardians of the Future": "This is about thinking, how am I being a guardian of the existing world, and how am I making it a better world for those who are gonna come behind me?" Amy Rowlinson00:30:2600:30:37 "Understanding Your Values: The clarity around understanding what you stand for and knowing your values is, I would say, the difference between day and night." Amy Rowlinson00:37:0200:37:05 "Creating Fulfilling Moments": "This is the big thing I want to say is that we can so easily just fill in the moments, but it's so much better when you create fulfilling moments." Susan Heaton-Wright00:01:0500:01:15 The Power of Purpose: "Amy Rowlandson empowers people to forge their own path to create a purposeful, sustainable, and fulfilling way of life." Susan Heaton-Wright00:01:3300:01:44 "Creating a Purposeful Life": "Amy's chosen mission is to gift a living legacy of inspiration, insight, and knowledge and create long lasting positive ripple effects." Susan Heaton-Wright00:02:2800:02:34 The Power of Expressing Yourself: "Honestly, you need to say all of these things because people will then really understand." Susan Heaton-Wright00:10:2200:10:29 "The Search for Purpose After Layoffs": "They feel they have no purpose because they felt their purpose was their job." Susan Heaton-Wright00:16:5400:17:03 Navigating Egos While Voicing Purpose: "How would you suggest that people voice their purpose without rumbling other people's egos?" Susan Heaton-Wright00:20:5200:21:18 Power of Purpose: "When you spoke, there was an authenticity. It was almost as though you stepped it into what I would call your your your set your area of excellence. Almost as though there was a circle that you stepped into. And what what you spoke about was it this everything was flowing from your heart." Susan Heaton-Wright00:27:5900:28:07 Finding Your Purpose: "You mentioned the idea that when you had your purpose, it meant that everything flowed." Susan Heaton-Wright00:32:2800:32:43 The Struggle of Fitting In: "Because particularly when you are younger, respectfully to you, Nick, you can feel that you want to join the crowd and be the same as everybody else even if the values don't match." Susan Heaton-Wright00:35:3200:35:41 Finding Your Purpose: "Please could you share 3 quick top tips on how you could start to find out your purpose in life?" Susan Heaton-Wright00:40:3500:40:42 The Power of Communication: "Until next time, this is Nick Simon and Susan Heatonwright from the Superstar Communicator podcast."

Nick Simon00:34:3700:34:47 Finding Self-Worth: "But I know what I enjoy doing and that kind of thing. So I don't really feel the need to or worthy, prove anything to anyone else."

In the competitive world of sales, adopting the right mindset is crucial for success. On this episode of the Sales Gravy podcast, Jeb Blount Jr. sits down with Dre Baldwin, a former professional basketball player in the NBA turned business guru to discuss why sales professionals who adopt an opportunistic mindset have greater long-term success. Key Takeaways  - Importance of Personal Initiative: Personal initiative is crucial for success. It involves taking proactive steps, like attending events or reaching out to potential opportunities, to create paths where none existed. - Mindset Tools: The mindset tools that lead to success—such as discipline, confidence, and mental toughness—are universally applicable, whether in sports, business, or any other area. - Role of Discipline: Discipline acts as the "steering wheel" that keeps you on course, while motivation serves as the "gas" that drives action. Discipline ensures consistent effort, even when motivation wanes. - Cold-Calling and Selling Yourself: Selling yourself is key, especially in scenarios like cold-calling. Being able to present yourself credibly and persuasively is crucial to securing opportunities. - Long-Term Thinking: Adopting a long-term mindset is valuable. It's important to think beyond immediate goals and consider where your actions will lead in the future. - Finding Opportunity in Opposites: There's often opportunity in doing what others are not. Thinking differently and looking for opportunities in unconventional places can lead to success. - Playing the Long Game: Success is a long-term effort. Cumulative actions and consistent effort over time are more important than short-term gains. - Value of Asking the Right Questions: Career transformation often begins with asking the right questions. Reflecting on how to combine your skills into a sustainable career can lead to significant growth and success. - Building a Personal Brand: Building a personal brand is important. Your experiences and successes can establish your credibility and open new opportunities, helping to build trust and expand your influence. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tvi5ARbDLsQ The Power of Personal Initiative Success is a journey built on a series of steps that anyone can take if they're willing to put in the effort. It's about creating opportunities for yourself, rather than waiting for them to appear.  Success often begins with a simple decision: the decision to take action, even when the outcome is uncertain. Personal initiative means doing what others might not—like attending events to network, cold-calling potential employers, or pursuing opportunities that seem out of reach. These proactive steps can open doors you didn't even know existed. The Role of Discipline and Confidence Discipline is the backbone of success. Think of it as the steering wheel that keeps you on track, while motivation is the gas pedal that gets you moving. Motivation might start your journey, but it's discipline that ensures you keep going, especially when the road gets tough. Confidence isn't something you're born with; it's something you build over time. Every time you take initiative or tackle a challenge, you're building a little more confidence. This confidence then fuels your ability to take even more initiative, creating a positive cycle that propels you forward. The more you step out of your comfort zone, the more confident you become. This newfound confidence helps you tackle bigger challenges, creating a solid foundation for future success. The Importance of Long-Term Thinking While it's easy to focus on immediate goals, true success often requires thinking ahead. Where do you want to be in five or ten years? The most successful people make decisions today that will benefit them in the long run, not just in the moment. Asking yourself questions like, “How can I combine my skills to create something sustainable?
