Dr. Arreaza: Hello, everyone, my name is Dr. Hector Arreaza, I am a family physician and an associate program director in the Clinica Sierra Vista – Rio Bravo Family Medicine Residency Program.  Today we're discussing one of the most powerful predictors of health that many people rarely think about: geography. Where someone lives can influence everything from access to physicians and emergency care to chronic disease outcomes and life expectancy. Joining us today is Peyton, who will be taking a deeper look into the matter. Peyton, thank you for being here — can you start by introducing yourself, please? Peyton: Hello, thank you for having me. My name is Peyton, I am a 4th year medical student with Western Atlantic University, and I am from a very small town in South Dakota.  Dr. Arreaza: Peyton, you are on your last few days in your FM rotation, when are you graduation?  Peyton, you prepared this topic and it is great. When people hear the phrase “your ZIP code can determine your health,” what does that actually mean? Peyton: It basically means that where someone lives can significantly influence their health outcomes and even life expectancy. A person's ZIP code can affect access to physicians, hospitals, transportation, emergency services, and preventative care. Arreaza: Talking about prevention. The American Heart Association agrees with you because Zip code is not part of the cardiovascular risk calculator called PREVENT. I invite everyone to take a look at this new calculator. I think a lot of people assume healthcare is equal as long as hospitals or clinics exist nearby, right? Peyton: Yes, patients may still struggle with overcrowded healthcare systems, which can lead to long wait times. In fact, a national physician appointment survey found that average wait times for new patient primary care appointments in major cities can exceed three weeks, with some cities reporting significantly longer delays depending on specialty access and provider availability. Dr. Arreaza: And when patients experience those kinds of delays, they may frequently switch between providers, which becomes much harder to establish consistent long-term care. Peyton: One of the biggest issues many patients face is continuity of care — having consistent follow-up with the same provider over time. Dr. Arreaza: And that continuity really matters in medicine, especially family medicine, it is one of our keywords: continuity of care. Peyton: Exactly. Preventative care and chronic disease management work best when patients have long-term relationships with healthcare providers. But in many underserved communities, patients may wait months for appointments, frequently change providers, or rely on emergency rooms instead of primary care clinics. Dr. Arreaza: And urgent care too. When care becomes fragmented, conditions like hypertension, diabetes, and chronic illnesses can become much harder to manage. Peyton: Exactly. Delayed screenings, missed follow-up appointments, and lack of preventative care often lead to patients presenting later with more advanced disease that could have been treated earlier. Dr. Arreaza: And urban communities may face some of the same challenges, but rural communities are at a different level of barriers to health care. Peyton: Absolutely. Rural communities often experience significant physician shortages. According to the Health Resources and Services Administration, over 100 million Americans live in primary care shortage areas, and nearly 65% of those shortage areas are located in rural regions. Peyton: I think one of the biggest solutions starts with strengthening primary care and investing more heavily in underserved communities, especially rural areas. Dr. Arreaza: And that includes increasing the number of physicians going into family medicine and primary care specialties.  Peyton: Here is an interesting fact: According to the Graham Center, Northeastern states receive high graduate medical education (GME) funding but produce relatively fewer primary care physicians. Northwestern states receive low GME funding but perform relatively better, producing slightly above the U.S. average (70.8 vs 69.8 primary care physicians per 100,000 people). However, even this remains far below Canada's average of 119 primary care physicians per 100,000 people.  Right now, the United States is facing a growing physician shortage. According to the Association of American Medical Colleges, the country could face a shortage of up to 86,000 physicians by 2036, with primary care being one of the most affected areas. Arreaza: Another group that may help address the physician shortage is International Medical Graduates. We'll cover this in more detail in a future episode, but it's worth mentioning briefly here. We have highly trained physicians, including neurosurgeons, driving Uber. There is nothing wrong with that work, but their medical skills could be used to help more people. I'll leave our listeners with that thought: IMGs can help. So, Peyton, are you interested in rural medicine? Peyton: I am very interested in Rural medicine, in fact my next few rotations will be back in South Dakota on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation. Actually, the Pine Ridge Reservation is the poorest Indian Reservation in the country.  Peyton: The measure of any healthcare system is not how well it serves those closest to its centers of power, but how far its reach extends to those who need it most. If we are serious about health equity, the road forward must run through every small town, every county clinic, and every community that has been told to wait its turn. Their turn is now.

In this episode of The Canadian Investor Podcast, we start with the latest U.S. inflation data and why higher energy prices could complicate the rate-cut narrative for markets. We also revisit GameStop’s rejected proposal for eBay and break down why Ryan Cohen’s compensation structure may help explain the push for a bold acquisition. We then look at a strong quarter from TMX Group, including the rebound in Canadian capital markets activity and its planned acquisitions of Cboe Canada and Cboe Australia. We also discuss Thomson Reuters, where the company continues to post solid organic growth while investors debate whether AI will be a long-term tailwind or disruption risk. We finish the episode with updates on Franco-Nevada’s record quarter, Loblaws’ continued strength in Canadian grocery, Exchange Income Corporation’s momentum in aviation and aerospace, and a brief look at GoEasy’s latest results following its recent credit issues.

SUMMARY DEL SHOW Futuros en rojo porque el mercado pierde confianza en que el alto al fuego EE. UU. Irán aguante. Trump dijo que está en life support y vuelve el ruido de energía. Hoy el catalítico es CPI, y un dato hot puede complicar recortes. $NOK integra agentic AI en plataformas de red fija para reducir costos y acelerar resolución de incidentes. $AMZN expande Amazon Now a decenas de ciudades con entregas de 30 minutos y sube la guerra de conveniencia. $EBAY rechaza la oferta no solicitada de $GME y cuestiona financiamiento y ejecución. El mercado mira si Ryan Cohen escala con una jugada más agresiva.

In this episode, we break down one of the strangest acquisition stories in recent memory: GameStop’s proposed bid for eBay and the unanswered questions around how the deal would actually be financed. We also look at Shopify’s earnings, where the headline numbers looked strong but the stock sold off sharply as investors focused on guidance, valuation, and whether AI will be a tailwind or a threat. From there, we discuss Alphabet’s monster quarter, including explosive growth in Google Cloud, soaring backlog, and why the company’s AI infrastructure spending is starting to show up in the numbers. We then turn to Canadian markets with updates on Suncor, Canadian Pacific Kansas City, and Toromont. Suncor is benefiting from higher oil prices and record production, CPKC is showing operating improvements despite a softer macro backdrop, and Toromont delivered a standout quarter helped by unexpected AI-related demand through its AVL acquisition.

Musk won't have to give up any money he allegedly saved from the delay. In its January 2025 lawsuit, the SEC said Musk's 11-day delay in revealing his initial 5% Twitter stake in late March and early April 2022 let him buy more than $500min shares at artificially low prices, before he finally revealed a 9.2% stake.

The rule changes include letting IPOs enter the index six months after their debut on an eligible index instead of a 12-month period, according to current rules.The index also proposed eliminating a minimum Investable Weight Factor (IWF) of 0.10 for megacap companies. The IWF is a methodology used to calculate the number of shares of a company available to trade on the market.Notably, the proposed rule changes also eliminate profitability requirements for megacap companies. Current rules require a company to be profitable on a GAAP basis for 12 months to be considered for the index, but that rule could be eliminated.S&P DJI only accepts feedback during the announced consultation open period, which is generally one calendar month following the consultation announcement. The Index Committee considers the complexity of the change and the desirable implementation timing in determining the open window for the consultation, which is generally aligned, if possible, with the index rebalancing schedule.

To prevent insider trading and front-running (where traders buy a stock because they know it's about to be added to the index), S&P Dow Jones Indices (S&P DJI) keeps the names of the individual committee members confidential.“To mitigate even the appearance of a conflict of interest... all Index Committee meetings are confidential. Membership of the Index Committee is not disclosed, and voting members consist of senior S&P DJI staff who have no commercial responsibilities”The Committee Members: Usually consists of about five to nine full-time employees of S&P Dow Jones Indices. Veto Power: Unlike other indices that use a rigid formula, this committee has discretionary authority. They can choose to ignore certain rules (like profitability) if they believe a company is representative of the U.S. economy.Who is probably partly on the Committee:Catherine Clay (CEO, S&P Dow Jones Indices): As the top executive, she oversees all index divisions. She joined in late 2025 with a mandate to modernize the indices for the digital and private-to-public era.Fiona Boal (Global Head of Equities): She oversees the entire equity index suite. Any proposal to change the "seasoning" or profitability rules for the S&P 500 goes through her office.Michael Orzano (Head of Exchange Products): He is the primary strategist for how major listings (like a $1.75T SpaceX IPO) integrate with the exchange-traded product (ETF) ecosystem.He was the lead strategist during the 2020 Tesla Inclusion, which was the most chaotic event in S&P historyHamish Preston (Head of U.S. Equities): He is the primary spokesperson for S&P 500 methodology. If the "SpaceX Rule" is adopted in June 2026, he will be the one explaining the technical justification to the media.Louis Bellucci (Head of Index Committee Management): As of 2026, he is the specific individual tasked with managing the various index committees and ensuring they follow the updated governance protocolsThe general concept of greed MMMM'Tone Deaf' Starbucks CEO Slammed for Justifying $10 Coffee as 'Affordable Premium Experience' - Niccol is so close to the human experience, he thought it was obviously “affordable” premium to pay $10 for a single cup of coffee.

In this episode, Dr. Stuart Slavin is joined by Nick Yaghmour, director of Resident Experience, Well‑Being, and Milestones Research at the ACGME, and Dr. Greg Wallingford, assistant professor of Internal Medicine and assistant dean for Professional Fulfillment and Well‑Being at Dell Medical School. Together, they explore how the 12 well‑being items included in the ACGME annual Resident/Fellow and Faculty Surveys can be thoughtfully interpreted, and responsibly used, to support residents, fellows, faculty members, and programs. The conversation explores the origins and intent of the well‑being items, their role as signals rather than diagnostic measures, and the importance of keeping the data separate from accreditation decisions. Dr. Wallingford shares an institution‑level approach for translating survey results into meaningful action, highlighting the value of local context, deeper inquiry, and iterative improvement. Through concrete examples, the discussion illustrates how data‑informed processes can empower program leaders, strengthen trust, and drive sustainable change in the clinical learning environment. The episode also previews upcoming enhancements to ACGME well‑being reporting designed to make results more accessible and actionable for programs and institutions.

Marley Kayden breaks down GameStop's (GME) unexpected bid for eBay (EBAY), a move that could reshape competition with Amazon despite the size gap. Markets react with eBay climbing toward record highs while GameStop slips, as skepticism remains around the deal's viability. Joe Tigay says with a roughly 25% chance of closing by June, the proposal highlights the speculative forces driving today's market moves. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

The House Judiciary Committee just dropped a 47-page report calling the National Residency Match Program a hiring monopoly that harms patients, doctors, and the public — and the surgical community is talking. In this episode, Dr. Patrick Georgoff is joined by BTK surgical education fellows Dr. Emma Burke and Dr. Agnes Prem Kumar, along with special guest Dr. Brian Carmody (aka the Sheriff of Sodium), a pediatric nephrologist and one of the sharpest analysts of medical education policy working today. Together, they break down the report's central claims: that the NRMP exercises monopolistic control over residency hiring, suppresses resident wages, and strips trainees of bargaining power — and they separate what the report gets right from where its rhetoric badly outruns its evidence. From the history of Section 207 and the antitrust lawsuit that nearly brought down academic medicine, to the real economics of GME funding, resident unionization, and what a match-free world would actually look like — this is the context you need to understand one of the most consequential debates in graduate medical education in years. Don't miss Dr. Carmody's six-part YouTube series on the match, linked in the show notes.Congressional Report: https://judiciary.house.gov/media/press-releases/new-report-exposes-how-medical-residency-hiring-monopoly-harms-patients-andThe Match 6-Part Video Series: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLc36yFQWkuG1sXk62A3zeRWB8aoK5SISPThe Sodium Sheriff Blog:  https://thesheriffofsodium.com/***Fellowship Application Link: https://forms.gle/QSUrR2GWHDZ1MmWC6Please visit https://behindtheknife.org to access other high-yield surgical education podcasts, videos and more.  If you liked this episode, check out our recent episodes here: https://behindtheknife.org/listenBehind the Knife Premium:General Surgery Oral Board Review Course: https://behindtheknife.org/premium/general-surgery-oral-board-reviewOral Board Simulator: https://app.behindtheknife.org/oral-board-simulatorTrauma Surgery Video Atlas: https://behindtheknife.org/premium/trauma-surgery-video-atlasDominate Surgery: A High-Yield Guide to Your Surgery Clerkship: https://behindtheknife.org/premium/dominate-surgery-a-high-yield-guide-to-your-surgery-clerkshipDominate Surgery for APPs: A High-Yield Guide to Your Surgery Rotation: https://behindtheknife.org/premium/dominate-surgery-for-apps-a-high-yield-guide-to-your-surgery-rotationVascular Surgery Oral Board Review Course: https://behindtheknife.org/premium/vascular-surgery-oral-board-audio-reviewColorectal Surgery Oral Board Review Course: https://behindtheknife.org/premium/colorectal-surgery-oral-board-audio-reviewSurgical Oncology Oral Board Review Course: https://behindtheknife.org/premium/surgical-oncology-oral-board-audio-reviewCardiothoracic Oral Board Review Course: https://behindtheknife.org/premium/cardiothoracic-surgery-oral-board-audio-reviewDownload our App:Apple App Store: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/behind-the-knife/id1672420049Android/Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.btk.app&hl=en_US

Op zondag 26 april vindt aan het Arsenaal in Gentbrugge de achtste editie van Ghent Motor Event plaats en al even traditioneel als het evenement zelf is dat we twee weken voor GME een extra editie van de Motorrijder podcast inblikken. Deze keer met Matthias Dobbelaere-Welvaert als centrale gast in de showroom van Triumph-dealership BMC in Assenede, medeorganisator van Ghent Motor Event. Geen onbekende locatie trouwens voor Dobbelaere-Welvaert die sinds hij zijn rijbewijs behaalde in 2015 al vijftien motoren in zijn garage had, waaronder een flink aantal Triumphs. “Momenteel heb ik negen motoren. Ik ben niet zo goed in spullen verkopen”, klinkt het. Met die motoren heeft Mathias al een flink stuk van de wereld afgedweild, bijna altijd over onverharde en avontuurlijke paden. En zo komt een mens al eens ‘toevallig' in Bosnië uit, wie heeft het nog niet voorgehad in zijn leven? Na Ghent Motor Event vertrekt Dobbelaere-Welvaert richting Peru voor een nieuwe expeditie op twee wielen, na de verspreking van formaat van Bart aan het einde van de podcast zal diens volgende passage bij BMC in Assenede een minstens even groot avontuur zijn. Sorry, Kristina De Rycke…   45 minuten podcastplezier om je goesting te doen krijgen om er met de motor op uit te trekken én op zondag 26 april naar Ghent Motor Event te komen!

In this episode, Dr. Stuart Slavin is joined by Melanie Pigott, the residency coordinator of the emergency medicine program at the Medical University of South Carolina, and Cindy Thompson, a senior program administrator for the orthopaedic surgery program at West Virginia University, for a focused conversation on program coordinator well‑being in graduate medical education. Program coordinators play a vital role in GME programs, yet their roles have become increasingly complex, demanding, and pressured—often with little margin for rest or recovery. Drawing on their years of experience and leadership on the ACGME's Coordinator Advisory Group, Pigott and Thompson reflect on the realities of the role and share practical, experience‑based strategies to reduce stress and sustain fulfillment. The conversation explores key drivers of coordinator well‑being, including managing workload through clear expectations and communication, improving efficiency through automation and shared resources, navigating hybrid and flexible work arrangements, and coping with the constant pressure of year‑round deadlines and evolving responsibilities. Throughout the discussion, the speakers emphasize the importance of professional community, peer support, self‑compassion, and giving oneself grace in a role defined by high standards and service to others. This episode launches a new series dedicated to supporting program coordinators and offers valuable insights for coordinators, program leaders, and institutions seeking to create healthier, more sustainable working environments for those who support medical learners every day.   Podcast Chapters (00:00) – Introduction and Welcome  (00:55) – Guest Introductions: Melanie Pigott and Cindy Thompson  (01:46) – Growing Workload and Burnout Risk in Program Coordination  (02:29) – Setting Expectations, Boundaries, and Communication Norms (05:14) – Improving Efficiency Through Automation and Shared Tools  (09:03) – Community, Peer Support, and Asking for Help  (10:14) – Hybrid and Flexible Work Models in GME  (14:57) – Managing Ongoing Work Pressure and Emotional Labor  (17:05) – Organization, Delegation, and Letting Go of Perfectionism  (21:03) – Closing Thoughts and Resources

(00:00) — Late to medicine: Chris didn't consider being a doctor until college, shaped by early family experiences with inadequate care.(01:20) — Struggling student to UC Davis: He describes a nontraditional path and surprise at earning a single college acceptance.(02:50) — “You won't amount to much”: A sixth-grade dismissal and falling in with the wrong crowd set the stage.(04:40) — Misdiagnosed and othered: Labeled with severe ADD, placed in special education, later correctly diagnosed with a comprehension disability.(06:25) — Not going the other way: He credits his mother's advocacy and a teacher, Mr. Russell, for keeping him engaged.(09:00) — College reset and new peers: A friend shares MD-PhD resources and expands his horizon.(10:35) — Outreach program to research home: A scholars program places him in a lab with a PI for four formative years.(11:50) — On DEI and mentors: He reflects on access programs and the impact of Dr. Connie Champagne.(13:50) — First OR spark: Shadowing an orthopedic surgeon shows him the excitement of patient care beyond pipetting.(15:40) — Sustaining motivation: Reframing medicine as a currency for service and asking who do I want to be?(17:50) — Community and advocacy: He discusses serving Indigenous communities and advocating on the Hill for GME in Indian country.(20:50) — Crafting the Why: How deep reflection and post-it mapping shaped his personal statement.(21:55) — Why MD-PhD: An MD-PI at a summer program shows how medical training sharpens research questions.(23:30) — First interview relief: Landing an invite during the COVID cycle felt like validation.(24:45) — Strategy and scope: 23 applications, West Coast focus, MSTP and non-MSTP programs.(26:00) — Coherence wins: A clear why plus tangible research output made his application click.(27:45) — Multiple acceptances: He recalls the emotions of earning 9–10 offers.(28:40) — To students doubting themselves: Separate self-worth from others' opinions and keep going.(31:20) — What's next: Interest in dermatology residency and leading a lab studying skin disease mechanisms.Chris never planned on medicine. Growing up in Southern California, he saw family members with preventable disease go uncared for, struggled in school, and was misdiagnosed with severe ADD in middle school before a later diagnosis of a comprehension disability. After being told in sixth grade he wouldn't amount to much, a continuation school, his mother's advocacy, and a teacher's attention kept him afloat.At UC Davis, an outreach email changed everything, placing him in a lab for four years and opening the door to both science and medicine. A friend introduced him to MD-PhD resources, and shadowing an orthopedic surgeon turned interest into excitement. Chris shares how he built an enduring motivation by reframing medicine as a currency for service, with a commitment to community, including Indigenous communities.He breaks down the hardest premed task—articulating Why Medicine—and the post-it exercise that helped him find a coherent thread. Applying during the first COVID cycle, he earned 16 interview invites and 9–10 acceptances by presenting a clear why and tangible research work. We also discuss advocacy for more GME positions in Indian country and his interest in dermatology and leading a lab.If you've ever been told you won't make it, this conversation offers practical ways to keep going.What You'll Learn:- How a misdiagnosis and school setbacks were addressed and reframed- Ways to access research and mentorship through outreach programs- A practical method to build a coherent Why Medicine- What made his MD-PhD application make sense and earn 16 interviews- Using community and advocacy to sustain motivation

What happens when a health system stops trying to recruit its way out of a workforce challenge, and instead redesigns the pipeline itself? In this episode of Bright Spots in Healthcare, Eric Glazer sits down with Dr. Lindsay Mazotti, Chief Medical Officer of Medical Science and Education at Sutter Health, for a candid, system-level conversation about rethinking how physicians are trained, supported, and developed for the future of care. Rather than focusing on workforce shortages as a policy or awareness problem, this conversation explores what happens after the reality is already clear—when leaders choose to redesign foundational systems instead of managing around constraints. Dr. Mazotti shares how Sutter is treating graduate medical education as strategic infrastructure, not an academic side function, and what it takes to build a physician pipeline that can scale, adapt, and endure. Using examples from rural training pathways, academic partnerships, research translation, and digital transformation, the discussion surfaces how education becomes the load-bearing structure that allows health systems to absorb change without breaking. This episode is designed for health system leaders who are no longer asking whether change is needed, but are grappling with how to build systems that can carry what's coming next. In this episode, we cover: Why physician shortages can't be solved through recruiting alone How Sutter is redesigning the physician pipeline end to end What changes when graduate medical education is treated as core infrastructure How training clinicians for place shapes rural and underserved care delivery Why education is the missing link between research, digital innovation, and day-to-day care Where clinician training determines adoption—or abandonment—of new technologies The leadership tradeoffs that come with moving from individual patient care to system-level impact What leaders must unlearn when building durable, long-term capability About Dr. Lindsay Mazotti: Dr. Lindsay Mazotti leads system-wide initiatives at Sutter Health that advance medical education, research, and innovation in support of the organization's mission to deliver exceptional, patient-centered care to more than 3 million patients across 22 counties in Northern California. In her role, she focuses on strategically integrating medical education into the health system's infrastructure to align with long-term priorities, including Sutter's Destination 2030 initiative. Dr. Mazotti oversees undergraduate and graduate medical education across the system—spanning clinical rotations, scholarships, residency and fellowship programs, and academic partnerships—while working closely with aligned medical groups representing more than 14,000 physicians to develop and support physician educators. Her work centers on building innovative training pathways that address physician workforce needs, align with evolving care delivery models, and strengthen long-term system capability, with the goal of quadrupling Sutter's GME footprint by 2030 to become the largest community-based GME program in California.

Given the recent closures of many of their stores across the country, we have decided to dedicate an episode all about everyone's favorite and most beloved game store, GameStop. Ok so maybe it's not everyone's favorite, and maybe not quite so beloved, but hey buying physical games in a physical store is becoming a bit of a rarity! We start off the discussion looking back at the origins of GameStop and what companies led to it's formation. Then we reminisce about our favorite (and not so favorite) memories of the workers, the trade-ins, and the store itself. We also play some rounds of trade-in value trivia as well as think about where the store is headed and what they could do to improve their fortunes. Speaking of fortunes, we of course have to touch on the GME stock drama. Whether you love it or hate it, there's plenty to enjoy in this episode. So grab your pro-player membership card, your brand new (but opened) headphones, and join us for this episode all about GameStop!

Five years ago, on January 27th, 2021, the frenzied buying and speculation in Gamestop hit its apex. In this short podcast, I look back on one of the more fascinating, and dare I say, dangerous, risk events in modern day markets. The stock was subject to an outright speculative attack. But not the kind most CEOs complain about. This was not Soros taking down the British pound in 1992. This was a retail army of Reddit bandits whose buying power was nothing individually, but everything collectively. This was an attack not by a short seller, but against one. We learn a great deal about markets by studying periods when things run amuck. GME event is one of them, the most intense “stock up, vol up” episode in memory.

Looks like it is over for the Mag Seven stocks The name Magnificent Seven came out in 2023 by a strategist from Bank of America named Michael Harnett. The idea is the name came from a classic western movie featuring seven heroic gunfighters and their push to save a small town. But just like other hot themes like the Nifty 50 back in the 60s and BRIC where you had to be invested in the emerging markets of Brazil, Russia, India and China, it looks like the Mag Seven glory days are over. In 2025, only two companies, Alphabet and Nvidia, outperformed the S&P 500. Microsoft, Meta, Apple, Amazon, and Tesla were no longer called stock market stars, and I believe this year will be another year of underperformance for most of these players. The Magnificent Seven still accounts for 36% of the S&P 500's market cap, which is why I believe the S&P 500 will not have a great year in 2026. It will be hard for investors to give up these companies because as they look in the rearview mirror, they feel they're worth their value because they made very good returns in the past. However, just like the Nifty 50 and other hot investment themes throughout history, everything comes back to the mean. The question for many is what will be the next hot investment idea? No one knows for sure but I'm confident someone on Wall Street will come up with some exciting name for investors to chase and they'll tell them not worry about the fundamentals of the business.    Is using part of your 401(k) for a down payment on your home a good idea? The President is trying very hard to stimulate the housing market and allow younger people to buy their first home. One idea that has been tossed around is allowing people to use their 401(k) for a down payment. People can currently borrow from their 401(k) and I often hear uninformed people say it's a great thing because you get to pay yourself the interest. Briefly, it is not a great idea because those "interest" payments don't account for the negative impact of the opportunity for what those funds could have grown at. You also don't get a tax deduction when paying the loan, and then you pay taxes on distributions at a later date, so it also has a negative tax impact. Outside of 401k loans, how's the administration looking to help first time homebuyers? Kevin Hassett, who is director of the National Economic Council, threw out one possibility that a homeowner could put 10% of the equity of their home into a 401(k). That may make your 401(k) balance look artificially high because as the home grows in value so does that 10%. The problem I see is when it comes to retiring that 10% cannot provide retirement income. I still believe the best way to fix the affordability problem is to increase the supply of homes to match the demand, which would reduce prices. AI will create jobs that have not even been imagined yet There are jobs that are starting to be seen and developed as AI becomes more involved in business. One example is someone has to make sure that the systems are kept up-to-date and function properly. There's also going to be people that have to understand the technology thoroughly and then translate the output, so managers, judges, regulators, or anyone else that is using it understands the answer. Experts will have to understand such things as self-driving vehicles and how the technology works. Say there is a car accident with two self-driving cars, who determines who's at fault? There will need to be experts that understand the self-driving technology and then try to explain the situation. The AI system will have to be checked from time to time to verify that the AI system did not produce results that were unfairly skewed in one direction or the other. Once that is discovered, another expert would have to know how to fix and eliminate those problems using new data that helps eliminate the bias. Training is another area of opportunity. As people's jobs change, they will need training in the new technology. The expert trainer would also use the technology to figure out what teaching style works best for the individual. Yes, the future is always scary because of the unknown, but innovation continues onward creating new opportunities and problems that need to be solved.     Financial Planning: Start Social Security Early to Invest? When evaluating when to start Social Security, there are generally two schools of thought. Either collect early at age 62 to invest the funds or wait until age 70 for a larger monthly benefit. Proponents of waiting argue that the age-70 benefit is roughly 77% higher than collecting at 62 and that deferring protects against longevity risk. Regular people and some financial advisors alike believe this is the superior strategy. A recent article in the Wall Street Journal takes this stance, stating that many retirees will live until age 85, so collecting at 70 increases guaranteed income and reduces market risk. However, the article illustrates its conclusion using an inflation-adjusted return assumption of –3% on invested funds. While technically possible, such an outcome is extremely unlikely over a 23-year period (ages 62 to 85), especially because the analysis applies returns to monthly payments over time rather than a lump sum, meaning the cash flows would benefit from dollar-cost averaging rather than suffer from sequence-of-returns risk. In reality, retirees who collect at 62 rarely invest the benefits directly; instead, they reduce withdrawals from an existing portfolio, preserving capital that can compound and generate additional income to offset the lower Social Security benefit. When the math is examined with multiple expected returns, a retiree is better off collecting at 62 if they live to age 78 assuming a 0% return, age 84 with a 5% return, age 94 with an 8% return, and any lifespan with a 10% return. Ultimately, the decision is less about maximizing guaranteed income and more about understanding expected returns, cash-flow dynamics, and the opportunity cost of delaying benefits.   Companies Discussed: Expand Energy Corporation (EXE), Citigroup Inc. (C), The Kraft Heinz Company (KHC) & GameStop Corp. (GME)

Après l'interruption par l'Algérie de ses exportations de gaz vers le Maroc, le royaume chérifien cherche à sécuriser son approvisionnement avec un projet d'unité flottante de regazéification du GNL, le gaz naturel liquéfié. Il pourrait alors provenir de différents fournisseurs, par bateau, jusqu'à Nador, sur la côte du Rif oriental. Les candidats ont jusqu'à la fin du mois de janvier pour répondre aux appels à concurrence. L'implantation à Nador sur la côte nord-est du Maroc n'a pas été choisie au hasard : l'unité flottante de regazéification sera connectée à la centrale électrique d'Aïn Beni Mathar via le Gazoduc Maghreb Europe, ou GME, que l'Algérie, fâchée avec le Maroc, a cessé d'alimenter depuis 2021. Il est désormais alimenté à rebours mais moins abondamment par l'Espagne. « L'idée, bien sûr, derrière ce projet, c'est de développer un deuxième point d'entrée à travers un terminal GNL, explique Mustapha Warfou, chef de la division des infrastructures gazières au ministère de la Transition énergétique. Et en parallèle de développer l'infrastructure gazière, à savoir le gazoduc qui va relier ce terminal "Nador West Med" au GME, puis le GME à Kenitra puis Mohammedia pour alimenter les différentes zones de consommation, donc les industriels et les centrales électriques. » Le Maroc a aujourd'hui besoin d'importer cinq milliards de mètres cubes de gaz, il en importait trois milliards de mètres cubes d'Algérie. Le terminal GNL de Nador lui permettra d'en regazéifier jusqu'à 10 milliards de mètres cubes. Une solution flexible pour sécuriser ses approvisionnements. « Le Maroc est en train de chercher une solution alternative et il ne veut pas dépendre de l'Algérie, souligne l'expert des marchés gaziers Thierry Bros. Donc, si vous voulez ne pas dépendre de l'Algérie, vous êtes obligé de devenir une plateforme de gaz naturel liquéfié. Ça va lui coûter plus cher, évidemment. On parle bien de millions de dollars et rien n'est gratuit dans ce système. Et vous payez les prix internationaux. Mais, mais si vous en avez besoin, ça viendra. Alors que le gaz algérien, si vous en avez besoin, ça pourrait ne pas venir » Presqu'un milliard de dollars d'investissements au total Le contexte est plutôt favorable au Maroc, avec à court et moyen terme, une offre mondiale excédentaire de GNL. « Entre le Qatar, les États-Unis, voire peut-être des pays d'Afrique, le Sénégal, au sud, va se mettre à exporter du GNL. Des fournisseurs, il y en a, observe Philippe Sébille-Lopez, géopoliticien de l'énergie. Il y a une bulle de GNL au niveau global. Il suffit donc de se mettre sur un projet de développement de liquéfaction aux États-Unis. » Le Maroc prévoit de dépenser 273 millions de dollars pour la plateforme GNL et sa connexion au Gazoduc Maghreb Europe, puis 638 millions de dollars pour prolonger les gazoducs jusqu'à la côte atlantique.

Are you looking to save time, make money, and start winning with less risk? Then head to https://www.ovtlyr.com.Implied volatility can feel like this mysterious force that either supercharges your options trades or completely blindsides you when you least expect it. If you've ever wondered why an option loses value even when the stock moves in your direction, this breakdown is going to make things a whole lot clearer.In this session, we dig into implied volatility in a way that actually feels understandable. Nothing overcomplicated. Nothing academic. Just straight talk about how IV works, why it matters, and how it quietly shapes every option price on your screen. You'll see how intrinsic value, extrinsic value, and Vega all play a role, and how each one affects the real money side of your trading. If you've ever stared at an options chain thinking, “What am I even looking at?” you're in the right place.We walk through how IV spikes before earnings, why it collapses after, and how that moment can make or break a trade. There are clear examples using SPY, NVDA, SoFi, meme stocks, and deep in the money call setups. You'll see exactly why some strategies suffer when volatility changes and why others barely feel it. And yes, we take time to break down spreads, strangles, and why certain strategies get traders into trouble faster than they realize.Right in the middle of the lesson, you'll see how everything ties back to understanding your extrinsic value. When you know what part of your option is “uncertainty pricing,” you suddenly understand why IV crush feels so brutal on certain trades and barely noticeable on deep in the money positions.Here's what you'll be able to walk away with:✅ Why implied volatility rises and falls✅ How intrinsic and extrinsic value actually shape your option price✅ Why at the money options are most sensitive to IV shifts✅ What really happens during earnings IV crush✅ How deep in the money calls avoid most volatility trapsThere are plenty of chart comparisons, profit scenarios, and real-market examples so you can see the concepts play out visually. When you watch the GME example where the stock dropped but the put still lost value, it suddenly clicks why traders get confused. It wasn't the direction. It was the extrinsic value collapsing faster than the intrinsic value could grow.If you're following along with OVTLYR University, this fits right into the bigger plan of helping traders build real skill instead of relying on guesswork. The goal is to make every part of options trading feel less intimidating and way more actionable. Nothing here is theory for theory's sake. It's practical knowledge designed to help you trade more confidently and avoid unnecessary mistakes.By the time you finish the session, you'll understand why volatility behaves the way it does, how it impacts your trades, and how to use that knowledge to your advantage.

We explore the evolution of military graduate medical education (GME) programs and discuss the residency match process and unique aspects of training military physicians. Dr. DeZee addresses common concerns regarding deployment and training opportunities during residency and highlights the roles of general medical officers. He also provides advice for medical students looking to enhance their competitiveness for GME applications. Emphasizing the importance of leadership and clinical experience, Dr. DeZee outlines how these elements are crucial in shaping future military medical professionals. Additionally, we look into the changes brought about by the formation of the Defense Health Agency and how it has centralized the administration of military hospitals to better facilitate GME training across branches.   (15:00) Military GME Training and Opportunities     Dr. DeZee provides an insightful exploration into the nuances of the military's Graduate Medical Education (GME) system, specifically focusing on civilian deferred training and the differences in GME offerings across the Army, Navy, and Air Force. We explain how civilian deferred training allows students to complete their residency without military obligation, returning to fulfill their service commitment afterward. Additionally, we examine the similarities and distinctions in specialty and fellowship opportunities among the three services, highlighting that while core specialties are consistently available, certain niche fields may not be offered every year. We also discuss the limitations of applying across different service branches for residency, except in special circumstances like joint domicile or compelling family needs. Finally, we touch on the process during the GME selection board where unfilled positions in one service might potentially be offered to another, ensuring optimal utilization of training slots.   (28:51) Military Medicine Postgraduate Training Opportunities    We explore the various scenarios for medical professionals navigating the residency match process, particularly focusing on those who have completed or are considering a transitional year program. We discuss the eligibility of transitional year residents to re-enter the match and how their performance might offer a slight advantage over medical students who haven't completed such a year. Additionally, we examine the options available for medical students who aren't matched with their preferred internship, such as transitioning into a preliminary surgical year or pursuing a general medical officer (GMO) role. The nuances of how different specialties view a transitional year are also covered, with particular emphasis on which rotations may count towards graduation requirements for certain boards. Furthermore, we address the differences in how the Army, Air Force, and Navy utilize GMO tours within overall Graduate Medical Education (GME) training pathways.   (35:35) Military Medical Career Pathways      Dr. DeZee describes the journey of becoming a General Medical Officer (GMO) in the military, highlighting the additional training required for various roles, such as flight surgeon or undersea medicine. We discuss the mentoring process within a flight unit and the evaluation called a Focused Practice Review to ensure safe medical practice. For those interested in long-term service, options like aerospace medicine residencies are available. The Navy's new program, which allows a seamless transition back to residency after a GMO tour, is also highlighted.

Gamma is one of the most misunderstood yet powerful forces driving options markets. In this episode, Kirk sits down with Lex from Tradier to break down gamma exposure (GEX) — what it is, why it matters, and how it quietly shapes market movement. Together, they unpack how professional traders use gamma to stay delta-neutral, manage risk, and interpret shifting liquidity, while retail traders can use it to better understand price behavior and volatility.Lex explains the difference between long and short gamma, how “sticky strikes” form, and why SPX tends to act very differently from fast-moving names like GME. You'll also learn how changes in open interest and volume can trigger sharp accelerations or reversals — and how to read these setups without getting buried in formulas. It's a practical, eye-opening conversation about the hidden dynamics of gamma exposure and the edge it can give you in any options market.Watch the full interview here

Interviewees: Justin Bullock, MD, MPH; Cary Payne, MD Interviewer: Lisa Meeks, PhD, MA Description: In Episode 114, Dr. Lisa Meeks talks with Dr. Justin Bullock (nephrology fellow, University of Washington; living with bipolar disorder) and Dr. Cary Payne (Program Director, Nephrology Fellowship, University of Washington) about navigating fellowship with a psychiatric disability—and how trust, humility, and creative flexibility built a training experience defined by healing and growth. Together, they retrace Justin's decision to pursue fellowship after a traumatic residency, his choice to lead with authenticity during the match, and the risks and rewards of disclosure in GME. They unpack how structured accommodations provided protection, why early defensiveness softened into trust, and the profound impact of Cary's disarming leadership approach: “It's not your job to teach us.” Listeners will hear advice for residents and fellows (consider strategic disclosure, seek accommodations as protective, build trusted provider teams) and for program directors (lead with humility, embrace uncertainty, and center accommodations in creativity rather than dogma). At its heart, the episode explores how one program became not just a safe space, but a place of healing—and why that benefits trainees, programs, and patients alike. This episode accompanies the open-access perspective This Armor of Mine: Perspectives of a Bipolar Physician and Program Director (Bullock & Payne, Chest, 2024) This episode is part of the ACGME/DWDI Disability Resource Hub, supported by the Josiah Macy Jr. Foundation Catalyst Award, it's a powerful reminder that access isn't accidental—it's built intentionally, one relationship at a time.

Interviewees: Emily Green, MD and Kelley Volpe, MD Interviewer: Lisa Meeks, PhD, MA Description: In Episode 113, Dr. Lisa Meeks talks with Dr. Emily Green (child psychiatrist, University of Chicago; recent fellow at UIC) and Dr. Kelley Volpe (training director of the Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Fellowship at UIC) about navigating fellowship with ADHD and a learning disability—and how openness, advocacy, and leadership support shaped a successful training experience. Together, they trace Emily's decision-making during the match, the challenges of transitioning from residency to fellowship (and from student to employee), and the unexpected barriers in GME accommodation processes. They unpack how program leadership stepped in when paperwork stalled, why “temporary vs. chronic” misunderstandings of disability remain a problem, and how centering inclusion ultimately benefited both the trainee and the program. Listeners will hear advice for residents and fellows (be specific in accommodation requests, know when disclosure matters, embrace authenticity with patients) and for program directors (be proactive with GME, advocate beyond bureaucracy, and create space for trainees to bring their whole selves to medicine). This episode accompanies the open-access case study From Policy to Practice: Building the Disability Inclusion Infrastructure in Graduate Medical Education (Green & Volpe, Academic Medicine, 2025). Part of the ACGME/DWDI Disability Resource Hub, supported by the Josiah Macy Jr. Foundation Catalyst Award, it's both a roadmap and a reminder that when programs invest in access, everyone wins.

Interviewees: Josh Schammel, MD; Brian Inouye, MD; and Becky Stetzer, MD Interviewer: Justin Bullock, MD, MPH Description: In this episode, Dr. Justin Bullock talks with Dr. Josh Schammel (chief urology resident at Albany Medical Center), Dr. Brian Inouye (associate program director of urology at Albany Med), and Dr. Becky Stetzer (assistant dean of competency development, Albany Med) about navigating remediation, cognitive disability support, and institutional change in residency training. Together, they trace Josh's experience entering urology residency off-cycle, the social and educational challenges that followed, and the turning point that came with honest conversations about expectations and support. They explore how leadership reframed remediation from punitive to restorative, how program culture embraced accommodations even without a formal diagnosis, and how outside expertise in competency development reshaped both Josh's trajectory and the program's systems. Listeners will hear candid reflections on the fear of dismissal, the relief of being given a “do-over” year, and the powerful role of trust and transparency in rebuilding confidence. The team highlights the importance of creating a culture where struggling is not synonymous with failure, but with an opportunity for growth. This episode accompanies the open-access article A Master Adaptive Learner Approach to Cognitive Disability Support in a U.S. Urology Residency (Stetzer et al., Teaching and Learning in Medicine). Part of the ACGME/DWDI Disability Resource Hub, supported by the Josiah Macy Jr. Foundation Catalyst Award, it's a practical and deeply human guide for residents, faculty, and program leaders working to build equitable clinical learning environments.

  Interviewees: Tom Pisano, MD PhD and Laura Ashley Stein, MD, MS, Ed. Interviewer: Lisa Meeks, PhD, MA Description: In Episode 111, Dr. Lisa Meeks talks with Dr. Tom Pisano (former Penn neurology resident; now neuro-hospital medicine and neuro-immunology fellow) and Dr. Laura Stein (Adult Neurology Program Director at Penn) about building an accessible neurology residency for a physician who uses a wheelchair—and how trust, planning, and culture made it work. Together, they trace Tom's match-day disclosure strategy and “find-your-people” approach, an accessibility walk-through with tape measures and ADA checks, and the practical creativity of equivalent rotations when sites differ in accessibility. They also unpack a real barrier—a security policy that blocked ED entry during stroke alerts—and how reframing access as patient safety moved the system. Listeners will hear candid advice for residents (hold onto your “why,” communicate early, invite teaching adaptations) and for program directors (start with goals, not habits; assume success; apply the same creativity you offer patients to your trainees). This episode accompanies a written case study and a Mini Grand Rounds conversation in Learn at ACGME. Part of the ACGME/DWDI Disability Resource Hub, supported by the Josiah Macy Jr. Foundation Catalyst Award, it's a practical guide for PDs, residents, and anyone committed to equitable clinical training.   Transcript: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1xB_Cp8EiekJ9ExUZLP61EvE-0y4HUv22LuRp0D6uNB0/edit?usp=sharing Key words: Medical education, physical disability, disability research, residency, accommodations, wheelchair, SCI, medical technology, residency, neurology, program director, GME, GME Policy Bio: Laura Stein I have been involved in the Neurology Residency Program since 2018, and Director of the program since 2024. I teach residents on multiple inpatient services as well as in outpatient continuity clinic and stroke clinics. I also lead didactic sessions and workshops for resident onboarding and in our resident lecture series. I am particularly interested in expanding resident exposure to structured experiences in medical education and quality improvement and currently mentor multiple residents per year in medical education and quality improvement projects. In 2020, I was honored to receive the University of Pennsylvania Neurology Residents teaching award. I received my masters in medical education from the University of Pennsylvania in 2018. I have been a member of the American Academy of Neurology (AAN) Residency-In-Training Examination Committee since 2019. I have also been a member of the American Heart Association (AHA) Stroke Professional Education Committee since 2016 and currently serve as the Vice Chair of this committee. Clinically, I function predominantly as a neurohospitalist and attend on the stroke inpatient and consult services, the neurology ward service, and the PPMC consult service. I am dedicated to ensuring delivery of high-quality neurologic care across our system and currently am the physician co-lead for our neurovascular disease team, which spans our six-hospital network, as well as our HUP inpatient neurology unit-based quality improvement team. Tom Pisano I enjoy weekend bike rides with my wife, followed by trying out a new restaurant. When traveling, if possible, I always try to get in some monoskiing or scuba diving. I would also consider myself a (very) mildly competitive board gamer. I will be pursuing a combined neurohospitalist/neuroimmunology fellowship to develop expertise in myelopathies. My research includes brain-computer interfaces, especially of the spinal cord.
