On today's episode, we bring you Part 2 of the powerful Fireside Chat with Ryan Holiday, live from the 2025 Dental Success Summit. Dr. Mark Costes continues the in-depth conversation with Ryan, diving deeper into the core of Stoicism and what it really means to live with courage, discipline, justice, and wisdom. Ryan explains the third grade version of Stoicism, saying it's about understanding that we don't control what happens but we do control how we respond. He brings this idea to life through stories from Marcus Aurelius, Epictetus, Seneca, and his own daily practices like cold plunges and early morning runs.  They discuss common misconceptions about Stoicism, the importance of humility in learning, and how wisdom is something earned through experience, curiosity, and consistent effort. Ryan also gives a sneak peek at his upcoming book, Wisdom Takes Work, the final volume in his series on the Stoic virtues, and shares how the virtues interconnect in both leadership and life.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, VIRGO!!!!Susan Miller declares that you are the star of the zodiac this month, so get ready to shine! After a somewhat professional countdown to air, Laura and Alex start the episode with a special embezzlement update, also known as the time when they discuss whether Susan made any accurate predictions the month before. And it turns out that the whole world was embezzled because Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce announced their engagement on what Susan forecasted as the flirtiest day of the year. Great job, Susan! Next up the gals recap Susan's note to her readers, which is all about the upcoming eclipses in Virgo and Pisces. These eclipses are mostly positive, so of course Susan can't resist reminding her readers about the chaotic and life-ruining eclipses that Scorpio and Taurus brought into the world a few years ago. Laura and Alex kindly request that Susan cool it on the Taurus/Scorp slander! The second half of the note is dedicated to Susan's new show on the Fireside Chat platform, so there is much to learn from Susan Miller Business Woman and Susan Miller Tech Support. Then it's time for Virgo's positive birthday horoscope. There are a number of exciting things in Virgo's chart this month, but unfortunately the forecast is mostly a repurposed version of Susan's essay on eclipses. Finally the gals tell Scorpio and Taurus what to expect this September. Alex informs her Scorps that a party full of smiling people is a possibility, and Laura tells Taurus to stop waffling because decisions must (and will!) be made. Laura and Alex discuss the following at these timestamps: Note from Susan Miller: 4:00Virgo: 12:58Scorpio: 24:58Taurus: 34:53Share your own thoughts on Susan Miller's Astrology Zone with us by emailing astrologyzoned@gmail.com.Links:Read each episode's transcript at our website: astrologyzoned.comHelp Laura reach the full potential of her Susan Miller legacy by buying her romance novels: http://Lauralovelybooks.com

Ever felt like you're hustling so hard that you're slowly burning out—but you keep pushing because that's what entrepreneurs are “supposed” to do?In this episode of the Happy Hustle Podcast, I sit down with Jesse's Fireside Chat, and I share my personal story of burnout, reinvention, and building what I now call The Happy Hustle.We dive into the turning point in my life when I walked away from a high-flying tech startup career in New York City, with big VC backing, partnerships with giants like Microsoft and IBM, and a public exit on the horizon because deep down, I was empty. I was “successful” on paper but completely out of alignment: no sleep, no joy, and relationships falling apart. That decision to say “no” and pivot to a life in harmony was the seed that grew into The Happy Hustle, a bestselling book, top 0.5% podcast, and thriving community that now helps purpose-driven entrepreneurs systematically harmonize ambition and well-being.In this conversation, Jesse and I talk about what it really takes to recognize burnout, the lessons I learned rebuilding my life in Bangkok, and the tools I now share with others through masterminds, events, and the S.O.U.L.M.A.P.P.I.N' system. It's real, raw, and hopefully relatable for anyone who's grinding without fulfillment.Here are a few of the big takeaways you'll hear in this episode:Burnout is a signal, not a badge of honor. Recognizing the stress, anxiety, and overwhelm for what it is can be the first step toward change.Commit to the process, not the stats. I promised myself 200 podcast episodes, no matter who listened and that discipline became the foundation of the show's success.Balance requires intention. The S.O.U.L.M.A.P.P.I.N' framework is my personal operating system for staying aligned.Community is the cure for isolation. Masterminds and retreats aren't just events—they're powerful spaces to be vulnerable, connect, and grow with like-minded entrepreneurs.Good and done beats perfect and never finished. Whether it's publishing a book, launching a business, or making a big pivot, action trumps perfection every time.If you've ever wondered how to build a business without sacrificing your health, relationships, or joy, this episode will hit home.

Most lenders are still treating bank data like a second-look tool.

On this week's episode of Best Ever CRE Show, John Casmon interviews fellow Best Ever host, Ash Patel. Ash breaks down why he shifted from multifamily to non-residential CRE, citing shrinking returns, intense competition and far greater room for creativity in retail, office, industrial and mixed-use. He shares case studies including a Louisville office portfolio bought for pennies on the dollar with a split-and-sell strategy, and an 80,000-square-foot Canton office deal that breaks even with one floor leased. They compare underwriting, leasing risk, and management intensity, with Ash arguing commercial can deliver higher NOI with fewer headaches when you play defense and buy creatively.

In this fireside chat from The Gathering 2024, GaryVee sits down with Michael Smith to talk about the future of brand building, culture, and marketing. They cover why attention is the real asset in today's world, how businesses can adapt to changing consumer behavior, and what it takes to create something that lasts. A candid and wide-ranging conversation on entrepreneurship, leadership, and the evolving business landscape.

In this fireside chat, I get real about the side of entrepreneurship we don't talk about enough—the dips, the dry spells, and the moments when it feels like nothing is working. I share personal stories, lessons from coaching clients, and how duality—the presence of both hard and beautiful moments—actually grows your capacity for success. If you've been struggling behind the scenes, this episode is a reminder that you're not alone and that these seasons have purpose.

Financial markets are some of the most heavily regulated markets in the United States. Firms and individuals that wish to engage in financial services–related businesses face complex regulatory regimes that are overseen by a web of agencies that includes, on the federal level, several banking regulators, two markets regulators, and a consumer protection regulator. But the regulation doesn't end there, as a host of other agencies, including state-level regulators and self-regulatory organizations, may also have oversight responsibilities. As attention has turned to ideas of government efficiency, financial regulation should not be left out of the conversation. But how should we right-size financial regulation?Our conference seeks to shed light on this question by asking: How many financial regulators is the right number? What should the balance be between federal and state financial regulation? Should the Federal Reserve shed its regulatory functions? Has federal intervention in housing finance gone too far?Join us at Cato's Center for Monetary and Financial Alternatives annual conference for an outstanding program featuring leading policymakers and experts discussing how to right-size financial regulation. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

On this week's episode of Best Ever CRE Show, Matt Faircloth and John Chang are bringing you another fireside chat. They go back and forth on multifamily's next five years, debating rent ceilings versus demand tailwinds, class-by-class dynamics, and why construction tariffs and replacement costs could freeze new supply even as Gen Z household formation builds pressure. John explains how treasury issuance and the 10-year may keep long rates sticky, why office could be a dark-horse recovery play, and how hotels trading below replacement cost create near-term opportunity. They wrap with recession risk, practical stress tests, and when it's smarter to build reserves or sell before the cycle turns.
