Is holding your child back a grade really the key to gaining an edge in youth sports? Dr. Phil examines the growing trend of “reclassing,” where parents delay a child's academic progression in hopes of creating a competitive athletic advantage. With NIL deals and direct college payments dramatically increasing the financial stakes of amateur sports, Dr. Phil explains why more families may be tempted to view an extra year as an investment in their child's future. But for most young athletes, he argues the potential academic, emotional, social, and financial costs can outweigh the benefits. The goal should not be athletic status at any cost. It should be raising confident, healthy kids whose happiness and self-worth are bigger than the scoreboard.Thank you to our sponsors:Sponsored by Preserve Gold: Get up to $20,000 in FREE Gold & Silver with a qualified purchase.

Will AI make entrepreneurship easier—or make entrepreneurs irrelevant?In this episode of Problem Solvers, Jason Feifer sits down with LinkedIn Chief Economic Opportunity Officer Aneesh Raman, co-author of Open to Work: How to Get Ahead in the Age of AI, to rethink the biggest fear around AI and business: that technology is coming for your job, your company, and your edge.Jason shares his “AI is a microwave” theory: it's a powerful new tool, but we're still learning what belongs in it—and what absolutely doesn't. Aneesh explains why AI is lowering the cost of starting a business, making it easier to research markets, build prototypes, and test ideas fast. But as access goes up, so does the premium on something AI cannot replicate: your unique perspective, taste, curiosity, courage, communication, and lived experience.They break down why the future of work is not about humans becoming better AI prompters. It's about becoming more entrepreneurial, more creative, and more distinctly human. In a world flooded with AI-generated sameness and “AI slop,” the people who win will be the ones who use AI to amplify—not replace—their judgment, originality, and connection.

If you've been parked in SAVE plan limbo for the last two years, the waiting is over, and the letter that starts your 90-day clock is either already in your inbox or on its way. Today, Nicole breaks down what happened to SAVE, why doing nothing could send your payment from $0 to $900 overnight, and exactly what to do before that clock runs out. Nicole walks through RAP, the new Repayment Assistance Plan replacing SAVE, how it calculates your payment off your income, and the upside most people miss: your balance can't grow even if your payment doesn't cover the interest. She also covers why studentaid.gov is about to get slammed, whether you should let the government pull your income data from the IRS, and how to avoid accidentally landing in a plan that doesn't count toward forgiveness. Then, Nicole flags two things you don't want to miss: a quadrupled autopay discount worth locking in before September 30th, and a little-known Secure 2.0 rule that lets your employer match your student loan payments straight into your 401(k). If you're already in default, she also breaks down what's coming this fall as wage garnishment turns back on, and the two ways out. Finally, today's tip you can take straight to the bank: a tax-filing move married borrowers should run the numbers on before their next RAP payment is calculated.

The phone's gone quiet, inquiries have dried up, and it's tempting to treat this as dead time. Marcus disagrees — and he's using it himself right now to get ready for the September rush. He runs through the moves worth making while the pressure's off, from a proper look at whether your website still represents the work you actually want, to a low-key way of staying on past clients' radar without ever selling to them. There's also a blind spot most photographers don't think to check: whether everything with your name on it, from your website to your pricing document, is still telling the same story about your business, and why that consistency matters more than ever with Google and AI both scanning across everywhere you show up. Plus why the quiet season is exactly the wrong time to just watch videos about a skill instead of learning it properly, and the one planning move that saves your future self when September turns into chaos. For any brand photographer whose website has quietly drifted out of date, this is the nudge to fix it before the busy season does it for you.Download the free guide to Marketing and Creativity here

A lot of bird nerds and nature lovers have been keeping an eye on the bird flu arrival in our country. What can we do, what can't we do and what should we do to keep them as healthy and as safe as we can? Here are some things we can consider, published by Predator Free NZ staff: Image credit: John Bruin We are aware that some migratory birds have always been seen as carriers of that flu - it's quite logical that the skua was first found. It probably indicates that many more of these Antarctic birds are full of flu, especially when they get together in places where we, humans, rarely get to. MPI 0800 80 99 66 to report sick birds Image credit: Alex H Weller Using bird feeders? I am not too convinced that is a good idea. Big flocks of all sorts of birds could cause contaminations, maybe not bird flu, but I have seen a lot of silvereyes with Pox on their feet and faces. Yes, I know that Pox is a different issue with birds, but it simply pays to be careful with large numbers of birds hanging around bird feeders. While there is currently no official recommendation to take down bird feeders, they need frequent cleaning to help protect birds. The disease can spread through saliva on nozzle feeders, so clean them daily by scrubbing with hot water and dishwashing liquid (wear gloves and a mask!). Open dishes and containers accumulate poop and are high risk. Predator Free recommend stopping their use immediately, which makes total sense. If you are trapping pests with eggs and raw poultry as lures… A big bucket of mayonnaise and a small squeezable container. Raw eggs and bird meat could contribute to the spread of disease. While the risk is very low for now and there is no official recommendation to stop using these lures consider phasing them out for now, especially if you use raw egg as a lure in and around your trap. As an egg alternative, we recommend egg-based mayonnaise, which is pasteurised and therefore doesn't pose the same risks as raw eggs. Image Credit: Predator Free Tamahere Keep cats safe and happy at home Cats seem to be very susceptible to severe illness from Avian Influenza H5N1 and could contract it from exposure to wild birds. Keeping cats safe and happy at home minimises the risk of being exposed to the disease, and it's best for our wildlife too. Oh, and while we are at it, keep your dog on a lead too! Makes sense, don't you think? Image credit: Fiona Taylor MPI: 0800 80 99 66 to report sick birds See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Women continue to face systemic barriers in medicine and science, despite decades of progress. What is happening? In Harsh Medicine, Dr. Jennifer R. Grandis draws on decades of experience as a physician-scientist, mentor and leader to expose how deeply gender bias is embedded in the structures of academic medicine and scientific research. Through rigorous analysis, real-world case studies, and personal insight, she argues that policies, funding systems, promotion practices and cultural norms continue to disadvantage women at every stage of their careers. Although she focuses on academic medicine and science research labs, there are wider implications. Many women, no matter what their profession or circumstances, might see themselves in these pages. Dr. Grandis, who has experienced sexual harassment in her own workplaces, knows reporting on the problems is only half of the equation, and she offers resources and solutions to give readers hope that we still might be able to “shock the system” and effect great change in the workplace, making it more egalitarian for women and men alike.

Snow | September 22 to 23, 2026 An in-person event built for snow leaders and their teams. Two days of snow-specific breakout sessions, a facility tour, and content designed to drive real change at your business. Details coming soon. Scott Lesak, President of Kasel Rocks Facility Services in Allentown, Pennsylvania, joins Phil to share his journey from professional track cyclist to firefighter to president of a mid-sized industrial snow operation. From starting a business with his dad at 15 while racing bicycles, to pivoting from high-end residential design build into recurring-revenue commercial snow, to running roughly 45 loaders across the entire eastern half of Pennsylvania, Scott shares hard-won lessons on communication, culture, and the personal transformation that reshaped how he leads. He also opens up about his firefighting years, his recovery from PTSD and alcohol, and why the change you want to see in your business starts within you. Connect with Scott on LinkedIn Key Learnings Hire for Attitude, Not Experience - Skills can be taught, but the willingness to learn and show up upbeat is what actually predicts whether someone will grow into a great team member. Recurring Revenue Multiplies Your Selling Effort - Selling $1.5M in one-time design build work every year gets you $1.5M, but selling $1.5M in three-year contracts stacks to $4.5M in revenue by year three. 12-Month Billing Reduces Snow Risk - Guaranteed 12-month billing on seasonal contracts is what makes it safe to invest in the loaders, plows, and equipment growth requires. Relationships Beat Production in Sales - Clients don't care how you plow snow or cut grass, they care that it's done, so the relationship side of the sales process matters more than showing off your production process. Not Everyone Thinks Like You Do - The older you get, the more you realize your thought process is unique, which means clarity and repetition in communication matter more than you think. Communication Is a True Competitive Advantage - Sending weather forecasts, game plan updates, and real-time production updates keeps clients informed and separates you from every other contractor claiming the same service.

Summary Most recruitment business owners stop marketing over the summer and restart in September. That restart carries a hidden cost: lower reach, a colder audience and a first month back spent recovering ground you already owned. Marketers and BD professionals call it the reset tax. This post sets out seven marketing tasks for the summer. They are not designed to fill your quiet weeks with busywork. They are designed to build a marketing system that keeps running when you are heads down billing, so your autumn pipeline is not left to chance. Key Takeaways The reset tax is the cost of stopping and restarting your marketing. Most owners pay it twice a year, over the summer and at Christmas. Review the first half and identify what compounded, rather than what gave you a one off hit. Work your database while clients and candidates have the headspace to think. Build your pipeline sixty days ahead. October fees are earned in July and August. Get twelve weeks of content written and scheduled before your busy quarter arrives. Fix the shop front. People check your website and LinkedIn profile long before they contact you. Be honest about whether you are doing no marketing, too little marketing, or the wrong marketing. The fix is different for each. Choose the system over the sprint. Small consistent levers beat bursts of effort every time. What happened to your marketing last August? Not what you meant to do. What actually got sent, posted, written and published. For a lot of recruitment business owners, the honest answer is not very much. Clients go quiet. Candidates are away. The inbox slows. And the marketing, which was already the first thing to get dropped when you were busy, gets dropped again. Then September arrives, everyone comes back, and you look at a thin pipeline and think, right, time to get back out there. So you start again. And starting again is the expensive bit. The Reset Tax Nobody Budgets For There is a cost to stopping and restarting your marketing, and it never appears on a spreadsheet. Marketers and BD professionals call it the reset tax. You stop posting for six weeks. Your reach drops, so when you return you are seen by fewer people than before you left. The warm audience you built has cooled. The people who were starting to recognise your name have forgotten it. You spend your first month back buying your way to where you already were. Most recruitment business owners pay this tax twice a year. Once over the summer. Once at Christmas. This is not an argument for working through August. It is an argument for using the summer differently. The quiet weeks are not the time to do more marketing. They are the time to build the thing that means your marketing does not stop when you do. Why a To Do List Is Not Enough A list of tasks reinforces the behaviour that keeps recruitment companies stuck. It suggests marketing is a pile of jobs you get to when there is a gap. After eighteen years working with recruitment and search business owners, I can tell you this is rarely a knowledge problem. You know you should be visible. You know you should be talking to your database. It is an implementation problem. The gap between knowing and doing is where growth disappears. So here are seven tasks, and every one of them is chosen because it closes that gap rather than adding to your September workload. 1.Review the First Half Honestly We are past the halfway point, so look back at January to June and work out what genuinely moved the needle. Use Stop, Start, Continue if it helps. What will you stop, what will you start, what is working that you should keep doing? Then add the question that matters most: what compounded? Some marketing gives you a hit and then nothing. A one off campaign. A burst of posts. Other marketing builds on itself: the content that keeps getting found, the relationships that keep returning, the list that grows whether you are watching it or not. Separate the two, then be ruthless about where your time goes in the second half. 2.Work Your Database While People Have Headspace There is gold at your feet. In your CRM are clients you have not spoken to in eighteen months, candidates you placed three years ago who are now hiring managers, and enquiries that never got a follow up. Summer is one of the few points in the year when those people have room to think. They are reflecting on the year. They are wondering whether they want another one like it. That is the moment to land in their inbox with something useful. A market update. A career conversation. A question about autumn hiring plans. The recruiters with the strongest Septembers are the ones who had those conversations in July. 3.Build Your Sixty Day Pipeline Now The work you do today does not pay you today. It pays you in around sixty days. The conversation you have this week becomes next month's brief and the placement after that. The fees you bank in October were not earned in October. They were earned in July and August by someone who kept going. So a thin pipeline in September is not a September problem. It is a summer problem you are only finding out about late. Work backwards. Decide what you want to be billing in the final quarter, count back sixty days, and ask what has to be happening now for that to be true. 4.Get Ahead on Your Content This is the task that buys back your autumn. Reach the end of August with twelve weeks of content written and scheduled, and your busiest quarter no longer knocks your marketing over. It simply continues without you. Do not invent topics from scratch. Go and look at what has already worked. Your website analytics will show you which pages people read. LinkedIn will show you which posts landed. Your client calls will tell you which questions keep coming up. The market tells you what it wants. Your job is to listen, then say more about it. 5.Sort Out the Shop Front A beauty salon dresses the window before the season, not during it. Your website and LinkedIn profile are your shop front, and for most recruitment companies they are costing money. People check you out long before they contact you. Look at yours the way a stranger would. Does your website say who you help, or only what you do? Is there a case study or testimonial visible within ten seconds? Is there any reason for a visitor to give you their email address? Does your LinkedIn profile read like a CV, or like a page written for the people you want to attract? None of these are big jobs. All of them are the sort of thing that never gets done because it is not urgent. 6.Be Honest About What You Are Really Doing When I talk to recruitment business owners about their marketing, I hear three answers. The first, and it is more common than people admit, is that they are not doing any marketing at all. None. Too busy, or referrals have always been enough. It simply is not happening. The second is that they are doing some, but nowhere near enough of it, and never for long enough to work. A few posts. An email that went out once. It stops before it has a chance to build. The third is that they are busy doing the wrong things. Activity that feels like marketing and produces nothing. Posting jobs and calling it content. Setting up a channel their market never looks at. Before you add anything to your list, be honest about which of the three you are. The fix is different for each. If you are doing nothing, start, and start small enough that you will keep going. If you are doing too little, commit to something you can sustain when the busy weeks arrive. And if you are doing the wrong things, stop them. Stopping is allowed. Consistency in one or two things that work will always beat scattered effort across six that do not. 7. Choose the System First, Not the Sprint Every task above fails if you treat it as a burst of effort. Review the year, blast the database, write some content, tidy the website, feel productive, then run out of road in week three when a big brief lands. What works instead is small, consistent levers pulled repeatedly, whether you feel like it or not. It is deeply unglamorous and it is the whole game. The owners who grow are not the ones with the best ideas. They are the ones with something in place that keeps the marketing moving while they are heads down billing. That is a system. Building one is the best possible use of your summer. How We Can Help If you are reading this thinking, I know all of this and I still do not do it, that is the most normal thing in the world. It is the Implementation Gap, and it is not a character flaw. It is what we have spent this year designing for. Sharon and I have created The Catalyst System, and it sits at the heart of Superfast Circle. It is there for exactly the problem described in this post: marketing that runs as a system rather than something you get to when you remember. If you would like a look at how it works inside Superfast Circle, book a call and we will walk you through it. www.superfastrecruitment.co.uk/call Thanks Denise The post Don’t Pay The Reset Tax With These 7 Marketing Tasks for Your Summer appeared first on Superfast Recruitment.

Send us Fan MailMost landlords think about taxes in February. By then, the year is already over — and so are most of the opportunities to do anything about it.In this Shorty episode, we break down why summer is actually the smartest time to get your rental finances in order. You still have months left in the tax year, which means if you find a problem now, you still have time to fix it.We cover three things every self-managing landlord should be doing right now: getting your expense tracking current, understanding where you actually stand financially at the midpoint of the year, and building clean records before your end-of-year CPA conversation. We also share a personal story about missing a significant deduction — and why that mistake was too costly to fix after the fact.Plus, a quick look at how the right accounting system (QuickBooks, or a property management platform with built-in accounting) can make all of this happen in the background automatically — and why your choice of tool matters more than most landlords realize.Episodes & Resources MentionedEpisode 12: Our Experience With a 1031 Exchange, Would We Do It Again?Episode 18: 7 Ways to Increase Profit for Your Rental Property Episode 28: The Cash Reserves Blueprint: Protecting & Expanding Your PortfolioEpisode 45: Basic Tax Strategies For Real Estate InvestorsEpisode 46: Advanced Tax Strategies for Your Real Estate PortfolioEpisode 55: Preventative Maintenance That Brings Peace of MindEpisode 79: Accounting Software Options for Real Estate InvestorsEpisode 99: 5 Oversights That Drain Your IncomeEpisode 111: Stop Guessing, Start BudgetingGood Read: Basic Tax Strategies Good Read: Advanced Tax Strategies Book QuickBooks (30% off first 6 months): TurboTenant Create a FREE account today!DoorLoop: Syncs Directly to QuickBooksRentRedi: Syncs Directly to QuickBooksInnago: Create a FREE account today!Connect with Us:
Voters in California are weighing a one-time tax on billionaires. Meanwhile, states including Maine and Massachusetts have already implemented income taxes on wealthy residents. The idea of levying higher taxes on the rich is catching on across the U.S., but the way the measures work—and how residents feel about them—couldn't be more different. Host Alex Ossola discusses the efforts to tax the wealthy (and their opposition) with WSJ economics reporter Jeanne Whalen and Journal enterprise reporter Laura Nelson.

Fresh out of the studio, Aneesh Raman, Chief Economic Opportunity Officer at LinkedIn and co-author of Open to Work: How to Get Ahead in the Age of AI, joins us to dismantle the flattened narrative that AI is simply taking jobs. His counter-thesis: work is changing, not ending — and we never truly left the industrial age, only traded the factory floor for the office floor. Aneesh walks through his three-bucket framework for auditing your week, the move from the career ladder to the career wall, and why the org chart is giving way to the work chart. He closes by reframing the current AI moment as a battle of belief, urging leaders and workers to move from anxiety to agency and bet on themselves. "We are in a battle of belief right now more than anything else. So stories matter a lot to humans. It's not just the tools we create, it's the stories we tell that have allowed us to become everything we've become. But whether it leads to better or worse... depends on the story we tell now. If we tell ourselves a story that it's going to lead to worse, it's more likely going to lead to worse. Because we have to unwind a lot of what the industrial age has told us to think about ourselves. A lot of industrial age work was about deficit management. I don't have the degree yet, I need to get it. I don't have the job title yet, I need to get it. We all started from a place of what we don't have, that we needed to get, in order to feel of value and succeed.

Cameron Anderson is a professor of organizational behavior at the Haas School of Business at the University of California, Berkeley. His research focuses on power, status and influence, and he teaches courses on power and politics in organizations, negotiations, and conflict resolution. Before joining Cal Berkeley, Cameron was a professor at the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University and the Stern School of Business at New York University, where he was named Professor of the Year. At Berkeley, he received the Earl F. Cheit Outstanding Teaching Award in 2008. In addition to his research and teaching, Cameron regularly consults with leading organizations and corporations around the world. In this episode we discuss the following: One of Cameron's most interesting findings is both reassuring and unsettling: being a jerk does not help people gain power, but it also does not necessarily hurt them. We often see powerful people who are selfish or manipulative, and we assume those traits caused their rise. But as Cameron explained, we confuse correlation with causation. Powerful jerks are memorable. They stand out. But for every powerful jerk, there is someone just as powerful who is decent, generous, and trustworthy. To gain power, it's not about being a jerk. But it is about being assertive. Assertive and persistent while advocating for our goals. And then if we pair assertiveness and persistence with kindness and morality, which are two of the biggest drivers of status, the outcome, in the words of Cameron, is “magical and unstoppable.” To gain power be assertive. To gain status, be kind. And to get ahead, be both.

In this episode of How to Get Ahead with Millennial Life Coaches, host Lorna Taylor sits down with Skye van Heyzen, founder of Adaptive Apex, for a powerful conversation about burnout, boundaries, stress, confidence, productivity, and what it really takes to get ahead without losing yourself in the process.Skye works with ambitious women in mid and senior roles, especially in male-dominated sectors, helping them lower stress, rebuild confidence, protect their time, and progress in their careers without sacrificing who they are. Adaptive Apex describes this work as practical coaching for women carrying responsibility, pressure, workplace politics, and the invisible load that often comes with leadership.In this honest conversation, Skye opens up about experiencing burnout multiple times, including the physical and emotional consequences of pushing too hard for too long. Together, Lorna and Skye explore why burnout is not simply about working long hours — it is also about conditioning, saying yes too often, carrying responsibility that is not yours, ignoring your non-negotiables, and failing to metabolize stress before the next stressor arrives.In this episode, we discuss:• What burnout can look like for high achievers• How workplace conditioning contributes to burnout• Why women in business face pressure around performance and likability• Why every yes means saying no to something else• Why self-preservation is not selfish• How to metabolize stress and reset your nervous system• Why stress is not always bad — but unmanaged stress is dangerous• How founders and senior leaders can stop the stress spiral• Why resilience may not be enoughConnect with Skye / Skye van Heyzen and Adaptive Apex:Website: https://adaptiveapex.org/About Adaptive Apex: https://adaptiveapex.org/aboutBook a Free Call: https://sites.adaptiveapex.org/Take the Power Pattern Quiz: https://adaptiveapex.org/power-pattern-quizLearn more about Millennial Life Coaches:https://millenniallifecoaches.com/Millennial Life Coaches connects millennials with coaches, conversations, and personal growth resources designed to support life, leadership, wellness, mindset, relationships, career development, and transformation.

RHLSTP Book Club #184 - Get Ahead of Being Dead - Rich catches up with Evie King (if that is her real name) to talk about her unique job and the books she has written about it and why we need to get prepped for our own deaths. They chat about organising funerals for people who die with no one to do it for them (and how that could be you), whether it's necessary for her to work as hard as she does on this, how you need a strong stomach for her job, but also why you need to write down all your details and funereal wishes, why you can't have a Viking funeral, but can be buried in your own garden, why you're a tricky to burn bag of fluid, why dying shouldn't be so taboo and thing you can do to liven up your funeral.

No confession. No manifesto. No search history about staging a crash. No suicide note. No witnesses to intent. The prosecution's case against Mackenzie Shirilla was built on surveillance footage, black box data, text messages, and a prior threat — and then charged as four counts of premeditated murder. In most cases with that charge, there's a trail. In this one, there wasn't.Shirilla was seventeen when the crash in Strongsville, Ohio killed Dominic Russo and Davion Flanagan. The footage shows the car accelerating to nearly a hundred miles per hour before hitting a building. The data shows full throttle and no braking. That evidence is real. But the prosecution's theory required a leap — from "the car did this" to "she planned this" — and the bridge between those two conclusions was built on her personality, her texts, and a prior threat she made and didn't follow through on.The defense had a possible answer: a diagnosed medical condition called POTS that can cause sudden loss of consciousness. But Shirilla's own attorney failed to bring in an expert witness at trial. After the conviction, a neurologist reviewed her medical records and concluded the evidence was consistent with a medical episode. His opinion was submitted to the court and rejected — not because it was wrong, but because the paperwork arrived one day past Ohio's filing deadline.Robin Dreeke, former head of the FBI's Behavioral Analysis Program, looks at how this case was constructed from the ground up — the evidence that was presented, the evidence that was missed, the charging decision that raised the bar to a level the proof may not reach, and what it means when a narrative becomes so compelling that nobody stops to ask whether the evidence actually supports it.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Dog owners tend to live longer and be healthier than people without dogs. But why would owning a dog have such a powerful effect on your health? The answer turns out to be surprisingly fascinating—especially when it comes to what dogs may be doing for children. https://hi.umn.edu/news/health-perks-pet-ownership You know that frustrating moment when someone completely misunderstands what you meant—even though you thought you were being perfectly clear? Communication problems often happen because people aren't all “speaking” the same way. According to psychotherapist Jason VanRuler, there are five distinct communication types, and each hears the world differently. Which means the problem may not be what you said—but how the other person processes it. Jason explains how understanding these communication styles can dramatically improve relationships, reduce conflict, and help people finally feel understood. He is author of Discovering Your Communication Type: The 5 Paths to Deeper Connections and Stronger Relationships (https://amzn.to/43iBcJB). A lot of people were taught that if you work hard, stay humble, and keep your head down, success will eventually find you. That sounds nice. It's also often terrible career advice. Promotions and opportunities frequently go to the people who know how to make themselves visible, memorable, and impossible to overlook. Courtney Johnson, creator of the viral “Problematic Career Cheat Codes” series on TikTok, explains the unspoken rules that actually drive career success—and why many talented people unknowingly sabotage themselves by following outdated advice. She is author of Career Cheat Codes: The Unspoken, Unconventional, and Unfiltered Rules of Career Success (https://amzn.to/4tIk7DD). Nearsightedness has exploded around the world, especially among children and young adults. Most people blame screens. But researchers say the bigger issue may actually be something we've stopped doing—and the consequences could affect eyesight for life. https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamanetworkopen/fullarticle/2830598 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS POCKET HOSE: For a limited time, when you purchase a new Pocket Hose Ballistic, you'll get a FREE 360 degree rotating pocket pivot and a FREE thumb drive nozzle!
