Danielle DiMartino Booth, CEO of QI Research and author of Fed Up, joins Julia La Roche to break down the Fed's 25 basis point rate hike under Chair Kevin Warsh. The statement first looked dovish, but markets reversed after Warsh's record-short 29-minute press conference hinted at more hikes. That sent the 10-year Treasury to 5.01%, its highest level since 2007. Danielle argues Warsh has broken his own "zero forward guidance" pledge and is "enamored with his narrative" of a Goldilocks economy. She points to a labor market already in recessionary territory, with long-term unemployed now outnumbering job leavers. She says core PCE inflation is on a steady path lower, while households face mounting strain from gas prices, utility bills, bankruptcies, and tightening credit. The two also discuss the K-shaped economy and why Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent may not be done acting on the bond market. Danielle explains why peak AI investment, propped up by hyperscaler accounting gains, is the biggest risk she sees. She closes on an optimistic note about the work ethic of today's college-age generation.Thank you to our partners Augusta Precious Metals — To learn more, visit https://juliabuysgold.com/ or text “Julia" to 35052Monetary Metals - learn more at https://www.monetary-metals.com/julia/Links:    Danielle's Twitter/X: https://twitter.com/dimartinobooth  Substack: https://dimartinobooth.substack.com/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@DanielleDiMartinoBoothQIFed Up: https://www.amazon.com/Fed-Up-Insiders-Federal-Reserve/dp/0735211655Timestamps: 0:00 Intro0:40 Fed hikes 25 bps: the big-picture takeaway1:22 Markets price in three more hikes after the press conference4:21 Assessing Warsh so far: forward guidance despite his pledge5:37 Fed projections: 2.5% core PCE, 4.1% unemployment7:02 Sponsor: Augusta Precious Metals8:26 Labor market already in recessionary territory10:12 Warsh is "enamored with his narrative"10:53 The household squeeze: gas, utilities, beef to chicken11:47 Even the top of the K is losing confidence12:19 AI was 100% of GDP growth, and real AI investment has turned13:20 Payroll data quirks: the World Cup hiring surge14:06 Sponsor: Monetary Metals15:33 Trump's reaction: 10-year at 5.01%, stocks down16:05 Scott Bessent isn't finished17:04 Warsh gives Bessent the Heisman17:41 10-year at a 19-year high, and the Fed was easing last time18:14 What the Fed is getting wrong: August's one-off inflation blips20:03 Core PCE is coming down, plus BEA methodology changes20:56 Bankruptcy lawyers are making bank: record filings22:23 Do rate hikes even work?

Retiring in Toulouse, France: Gay Life in the Pink City with Cameron BrayIn this episode, host Mark Goldstein sits down with Cameron Bray, an Australian-born, naturalized British citizen who has been living permanently in Toulouse, France for over ten years. Cameron arrived with a simple plan: stay three months, learn some French, and move on. That plan never quite worked out. He fell in love with the city, fell in love with a French partner, and never left. Now approaching 60, Cameron is a gay man who has built a full and thriving life in southwest France, founding his own international human resources consultancy and navigating French business life as a foreign entrepreneur. He hopes that by sharing his experience, he can inspire others to take that same leap.Note on currency: as of June 21, 2026, 1 Euro equals approximately $1.15 USD. All figures in this episode are from Cameron's personal experience and reflect conditions at the time of recording.What Is ToulouseToulouse is France's fourth largest metropolitan area and its fastest growing city, located in the southwest corner of the country near the Spanish border, roughly three hours northwest of Barcelona. Often called La Ville Rose, or the Pink City, the city earned its name from the distinctive long, thin red bricks used in its buildings throughout the region. In certain light, particularly at sunset, the bricks give the entire city a warm pink glow. The Garonne River runs through it. Views of the Pyrenees mountain range are visible from the city center.Cameron describes Toulouse as a "Goldilocks city": not too big, not too small. At roughly 1.2 million people in the metro area, it has enough energy, ambience, and cultural life to feel vibrant, without the overwhelming scale of a major global city. It is also France's biggest university town outside of Paris, which gives it a youthful, buzzing street energy that Cameron says he still pinches himself about after a decade.Why Cameron Chose ItCameron did not plan to stay. He came on the recommendation of friends who had a small apartment there, with a flight to check out the Alliance Francaise language school. He had been made redundant as an HR director in Brighton, had recently come out of a long relationship, and had the financial cushion and the freedom to try something different. What was meant to be a three-month adventure became a permanent life. He describes the move as one driven by gut instinct rather than analysis, noting that over-thinking it might have sent him straight back to the airport.LGBTQ+ LifeToulouse and France more broadly have a deeply laissez-faire attitude toward sexuality. Cameron says he has never experienced discrimination, abuse, or felt unsafe walking the streets of Toulouse or anywhere else in France as a gay man, including in the countryside. France was one of the first countries to decriminalize homosexuality, and same-sex civil partnerships and marriages have been legal for over twenty years, with the same rights as heterosexual partnerships.There is no defined gayborhood in Toulouse, and Cameron says that is very much a reflection of how accepted LGBTQ+ life is there: there is simply no need for one. Gay bars and venues exist, though Cameron notes, as in many cities around the world, the traditional scene has shifted with the rise of apps. Gay men and women live throughout the city and in the surrounding countryside. Cameron has friends, a gay couple, who live in a small rural village an hour and a half away and were welcomed by the mayor at the village festival with flowers and wine, the same as every other new resident.Daily Life and WalkabilityToulouse is highly walkable, and Cameron describes his immediate neighborhood as a textbook example of what some urban planners now call the 15-minute city. His bakery is in the building. His butcher, fruit and vegetable shop, wine shop, pharmacy, supermarket, and tram stop are all within a few hundred yards. A fresh market takes place nearby daily.Over the past decade, Toulouse has actively worked to remove cars from the historic city center, converting parking into bike lanes and creating shared pedestrian, cycling, and scooter spaces. The old city is a labyrinth of cobbled streets that was never really designed for cars in the first place. Cameron and his partner walk rather than drive and say they rarely take taxis anywhere within the city.Food and Cafe CultureFood culture in Toulouse is rural-based and deeply regional. The city is known for a few signature dishes: the saucisse de Toulouse, a thick, fatty sausage typically served with pureed potatoes; cassoulet, a hearty white bean stew with dark sausage and breadcrumbs that originated as farmhouse food; and anything involving duck, including confit and, yes, foie gras. Fresh markets are central to daily life, and most meals are cooked from scratch. Processed food is far less prevalent in supermarkets than in the US or Australia.Cameron describes the French relationship with food as one of appreciation rather than consumption. Meals are structured: breakfast, then nothing, then lunch, then nothing, then dinner. Portion sizes are smaller. People eat slowly, talk about what they are eating, and treat wine and food as part of the conversation rather than just fuel. The result, Cameron observes with some bemusement, is that Toulouse is full of people eating rich food in large quantities and yet very few are obese.The cafe culture in Toulouse is genuine. Coffee in the morning under plane trees, wine in the evening at a bar. The city is also France's largest university town outside of Paris, which means the streets stay lively, particularly on Thursday nights, which the locals call le petit weekend. Dinner tends to start around 7:30 to 8:00, preceded by a proper apero of charcuterie, cheese, bread, and wine that can last an hour or more on its own.LanguageCameron arrived expecting Toulouse to be less English-friendly than Paris or Bordeaux. He was wrong. Because Airbus, the aviation company, is headquartered in Toulouse, and because American firms like Pratt and Whitney and Rockwell Collins have a major presence there as well, English is widely spoken throughout the city. The European Space Agency is also based there. Signs at the airport and many local businesses operate bilingually. Cameron says that when he first arrived and tried his schoolboy French, shopkeepers would often just switch straight to English.That said, Cameron strongly recommends making a genuine effort with the language. The French appreciate the attempt, even if they complete the sentence for you. He adds that younger French people today are notably more fluent in English than the older generation, and that Toulouse in particular has an internationally-minded feel that makes it more accessible for non-French speakers than many French cities.Costs and HousingCameron owns a one-bedroom apartment in Toulouse with views of the Garonne River and the Pyrenees, a terrace, a garage, and a cellar. He paid 190,000 euros (approximately $218,500 USD) for it three years ago. His annual electricity bill runs around 400 euros (approximately $460 USD) for two people, in part because of favorable sun exposure in winter. His internet, phone, and basic television package runs approximately 40 euros a month (approximately $46 USD). His mobile phone plan costs around 15 euros a month (approximately $17 USD).Public transport within Toulouse is 2 euros per trip for the subway or bus, and free for seniors. Train travel across the region is one euro on the first Sunday of every month, a government initiative to help people with fewer means stay connected. All museums are free that same Sunday. Cameron describes France's socialist economic model as providing a genuine cushion: during the energy crisis triggered by the war in Ukraine, electricity prices in France rose only 4 percent while UK prices spiked 54 percent, because the French government owns its energy suppliers and capped price increases.French property culture is notably different from the Anglo world. Property here is bought to live in, not to flip. Prices rise slowly. Cameron says the expectation of making a fast profit on real estate simply does not exist in France the way it does in the US or Australia, and he sees that as a feature rather than a bug.HealthcareFrance operates a universal healthcare system. If you are sick, you will be seen and treated regardless of your ability to pay. Cameron describes five hospital visits for conjunctivitis earlier this year: he walked in, was treated, and walked out each time without a bill. Emergency and life-critical care is covered entirely by the state. Some medications require a small co-pay; others are free.Most residents supplement the public system with a mutuelle, a top-up private insurance that covers things like a private hospital room, dental, physiotherapy, and osteopathy. Cameron pays 60 euros a month (approximately $69 USD) for his mutuelle. He emphasizes this is not like American private health insurance: the mutuelle covers what the state does not, rather than replacing the state system entirely.For new arrivals, getting into the French health system takes patience. Cameron waited nine months to receive his health card. Bureaucracy is a real hurdle, and the administration does not make the process intuitive. However, once you are in the system, it is reliable. A colonoscopy consultation for Cameron's partner, who has a family history of colon cancer, was booked about four months out, which Cameron considers reasonable for a non-urgent specialist appointment. He notes...

When Calgary's main water feeder line broke for the second time in two years, Nathan Hawryluk decided he needed to get more involved. He already had an unusual view of the city's finances as a planning commissioner, where questions about new neighborhoods and the infrastructure needed to support them regularly cross his desk. Norm talks with Nathan about the “bad Goldilocks spot” behind those numbers, where the city's obligations and the revenue available to meet them have drifted apart. As Nathan puts it, “Our taxes are too high for people to pay comfortably and too low to actually do the job.” ADDITIONAL SHOW NOTES The Commons (Site) Strong Towns Calgary (Site) "I got put on a committee... now what?"

JT's Mix Tape is back with Episode 96 — and somehow the rabbit holes keep getting stranger.This week JT, Aaron and Brian dive into the rapidly advancing world of humanoid robots, the possibility that publicly revealed technology is far behind what actually exists, and whether the AI-driven future we've been warned about is already taking shape.Then we head backwards in time.Were the strange spires, bells and architecture of the old world doing more than we've been told? Why do so many historical buildings contain features that seem strangely technological? And what happens when the “future” starts looking suspiciously like the past?We also get into bizarre claims surrounding modern food, the surprisingly dark original story of Goldilocks, Freemasonry, biblical cosmology, strange maps, the sun and moon, hidden imagery, and even the proposed 66,000-mile “space elevator.”As always, JT's Mix Tape isn't about fear. We can examine the strange things happening around us while remembering who ultimately wins.Jesus Christ.Welcome to JT's Mix Tape #96.Support the show on Patreon for early and uncensored episodes.And check out Modern Roots Life, a Christian-owned company supporting the show.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/jt-s-mix-tape--6579902/support.Please support our sponsor Modern Roots Life: https://modernrootslife.com/?bg_ref=rVWsBoOfcFPatreon: https://patreon.com/JT_Follows_JC?utm_medium=unknown&utm_source=join_link&utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator&utm_content=copyLinkJESUS SAID THERE WOULD BE HATERS: https://jtfollowsjc.com/product-category/mens-shirts/JT's Hats: https://jtfollowsjc.com/product-category/hats/Coaching Program: https://www.echoesoftruthnetwork.com/joinTelegram Group: https://t.me/jtsmixtapeNew Trucker Hat: https://www.shopmmca.com/shop/p/jt-follows-jc-hat

Episode overview In this episode of Investments Unplugged, host Kevin Headland is joined by U.S.-based Co–Chief Investment Strategists Emily Roland, CIMA, and Matt Miskin, CFA, for a “back-to-school” themed market outlook, along with their views on portfolio positioning, for the remainder of 2026 and into 2027. Using a “report-card” framing, they assess: · The overall economic backdrop, with a focus on labor market signals and “Goldilocks-like” conditions · The role of AI-led capex and its effects on manufacturing activity and market leadership · The state of corporate earnings, equity market valuations, and market breadth · Why fixed income may be re-emerging as a more compelling portfolio building block Key topics & insights 1. Economics 101: a “Goldilocks-ish” U.S. economy, but with softer edges Ø The U.S. economy is given a report-card grade of roughly a “B / B+”; it's not overheating, nor is it on the verge of collapsing. Ø The labor market is characterized as “no-hire, no-fire,” with limited layoffs and low jobless claims but some signs of cooling. Ø There has been some softening in consumption and sentiment (e.g., weaker retail sales, worth monitoring closely. 2. AI as a new cycle driver: capex, computing power, manufacturing renaissance Ø AI is described as a powerful economic engine in today's environment, driving a surge in business investment and data-center buildouts. Ø AI demand is a catalyst for manufacturing and industrial activity, with knock-on effects beyond just mega-cap technology space. Ø However, what consumers/businesses say they're going to do might differ from what they actually do, so tracking hard activity data will be key. 3. Earnings power and market breadth: Stocks have tended to follow profits over time Ø A broad-based boom in corporate profits has been supporting the equity market in recent quarters, extending beyond just the big mega-cap tech stocks, Ø For example, “old economy” segments of the market (notably, the energy and financials sectors) have been delivering strong earnings growth as well. Ø Similarly, recent equity market performance has also broadened, with several areas outside the U.S. large-cap growth space doing comparatively better. 4. Market valuations and the risk of “great expectations” on the part of investors Ø While equity valuations had been stretched earlier this year, price/earnings (P/E) multiple expansion has been moderated by stronger corporate earnings. Ø The key risk: If earnings growth and AI-related capex were to slow, areas of the market currently priced for favorable outcomes could respond negatively. Ø The portfolio implication for investors: Stay diversified across and within asset classes, try to avoid “overconcentration” in a single market sector or theme. 5. The direction of interest rates and the monetary policy “wildcard” Ø There's tension between AI hyperscalers' large funding needs (debt/equity issuance) and the risk that central banks could drain market liquidity if inflation reignites. Ø The U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) policy backdrop is uncertain, with bond markets potentially pricing in rate outcomes that may not match incoming economic data. Ø Rising long-end yields are important in the context of bond market supply/demand dynamics, with investor attention shifting toward private/AI-linked issues. 6. Fixed income: Yields are more attractive, but patience and positioning matter Ø Many bond yields have drifted higher amid inflationary concerns, but investors often wait too long to rebuild their fixed-income portfolio exposures. Ø In credit markets, even with spreads tight, the absolute yield levels have become more attractive, but there could be bouts of rate-driven volatility. Actionable takeaways for Canadian investors · Be alert to potential investment opportunities. Even if economic growth is choppy, corporate earnings and market leadership can still support risk assets. · Diversify by business exposure, not just geography. In today's markets, global diversification can still leave your portfolio overconcentrated in the AI supply chain. · Participate in the AI theme, but manage concentration risk. Maintain AI exposure while being realistic about equity valuations, capex sensitivity, and other factors. · With yields having risen, revisit the portfolio role of bonds. In particular, using high-quality fixed-income assets more intentionally may be beneficial. · Use credit selectively for income. Even with spreads tight, consider allocations to higher-yielding credit market sectors, but stay mindful of the risks. · Links & Resources Listen to the episode: Investments Unplugged Podcast Learn more about Manulife Investments: Manulife IM Canada Share & Subscribe If you enjoyed this episode, please share it with your network and subscribe for future insights on markets, investing, and portfolio strategy.

With the UK's under-16s social media ban confirmed for spring 2027 and mobile phones now expected to be banned from every English school day by default, this episode of Mind the Kids tackles one of the biggest parenting and policy debates of our time: what does the evidence actually say about smartphones, social media and children's mental health?Hosts Dr. Jane Gilmour (Honorary consultant clinical psychologist and child development programme director at UCL) and Professor Umar Toseeb (Professor of Psychology at the University of York) are joined by Professor Lisa Henderson from the University of York, author of two Child and Adolescent Mental Health Journal papers: "Digital Safeguarding Incidents in Schools With and Without Smartphone Policies" and "Innovations in Practice: A Pilot Randomised Trial on Smartphone and Social Media Abstinence."In this episode we unpack:– What the UK's social media ban for under-16s actually means for platforms like TikTok, Instagram, YouTube and Snapchat– Why comparing the UK ban to Australia's isn't a fair like-for-like comparison– New pilot RCT data on smartphone and social media abstinence, sleep quality and wellbeing in adolescents– What happens to digital safeguarding incident reporting when schools introduce phone policies– The "lost generation" risk — teens already embedded in social platforms navigating an abrupt policy shift– Why parental phone habits predict children's smartphone use– The "Goldilocks" amount of social media time, and why moderate use isn't the enemyIf you work in education, child psychology, safeguarding, or you're a parent trying to make sense of the smartphone ban headlines, this conversation goes well beyond the soundbites.Mind the Kids is brought to you by ACAMH (Association for Child and Adolescent Mental Health), translating the latest child and adolescent mental health research into evidence-based conversation.

Send us Fan MailFeeling stuck is not always a sign you're failing. Sometimes it's a sign you're crossing a threshold where the old version of your leadership no longer fits and the next one hasn't come into focus yet. That space can feel restless, urgent, and confusing, which is exactly why many of us try to force clarity and rush into an action plan. We sit down with leadership coach and organizational consultant Michael Schoultz, author of “Coaching at the Threshold: Supporting Clients in Times of Uncertainty,” from choice Magazine's Coaching in Chaos issue. Together, we unpack how to tell the difference between avoidance and real transition, what patterns to listen for beneath a client's words, and why familiar coaching tools like goals and next steps can suddenly feel ineffective when identity is shifting. A central takeaway is simple and surprisingly powerful: regulation before clarity. When anxiety and overwhelm tighten the nervous system, options disappear and decision making becomes reactive. We talk about slowing the conversation down, framing uncertainty as transition rather than failure, holding complexity with steadiness, and helping clients choose aligned action instead of rushed action. We also explore the Goldilocks question of timing so reflection doesn't become another form of hiding. If you coach leaders through complexity, organizational change, or high-stakes decisions, this conversation will give you language, mindset, and practical moves you can use right away. Subscribe, share this with a coach or leader who needs steadiness, and leave a review with the moment that changed how you'll handle uncertainty.Watch the full interview by clicking here. Read the full article here.Learn more about Michael here. * A gift for Beyond the Page listeners, free and no sign-up required.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for August 19, 2026 is: balmy • BAH-mee • adjective Balmy is an adjective that is often used to describe weather that is warm, calm, and pleasant. It can also be used to describe someone or something (such as an idea) that is foolish or irrational. // After a long, eight-hour drive, we were rewarded with a mild, balmy evening at our vacation spot on the shores of Lake Erie. // Despite being a devout Green Bay fan, she finds the idea of attending games in head-to-toe yellow and green body paint to be a bit balmy. See the entry > Examples: “Everyone is encouraged to bring chairs, snacks and coolers, and remember the flashlights for the walk back to the parking lot. Leashed dogs are welcome, too. These evenings are all about enjoying good music on a balmy summer night.” — The Sun (Elizabethtown, New York), 18 June 2026 Did you know? Aromatic ointments and fragrances are the bomb. They are also, literally, balms: healing substances and soothing scents with the power to ease both mind and body. The original balm, what Latin-speakers referred to as balsamum, was the oleoresin of a species of balsam tree. In Anglo-French, balsamum became basme and baume, spellings which entered Middle English and later became balm. Balm eventually begat the adjective balmy, used to describe things with a balm's comforting, calming qualities, as when Shakespeare's Othello speaks of “balmy slumbers.” Today balmy is typically used to describe the weather—balmy breezes, balmy temperatures, balmy spring afternoons, et al—conditions that are neither too hot nor too cold, but just right—Goldilocks conditions, even.

Nothing says “responsible morning radio” quite like starting the hour buzzing on Italian rainbow cookies and ending it by debating whether Rafe Williams belongs on Raya.Welcome to another funny show from The Rizzuto Show, where the crew begins this episode riding the aftermath of Rizz's birthday food extravaganza. Sweet Seven Layers has everybody losing their minds over traditional Italian rainbow cookies, pistachio and blackberry creations, cherry amaretto and enough sugar to make Moon openly admit he's buzzing. Throw in the pastries from Le Bon Boucher and we're basically broadcasting from inside a carbohydrate emergency.Before everyone slips into a frosting coma, Rizz drops some actual useful information: Rizz Show Night with the St. Louis Blues is coming to Enterprise Center, featuring the Blues against the Colorado Avalanche and an exclusive Rizz Show Blues jacket. Even better, a portion of the special ticket benefits Operation Food Search. Look at us briefly doing something respectable.Don't worry. It doesn't last.Sexy Time Fun Facts arrives with a legitimately groundbreaking medical story: surgeons in Vietnam successfully performed the country's first penile transplant from a brain-dead donor.And there goes the respectability.What starts as an unbelievable medical headline turns into a surprisingly thoughtful conversation about organ donation, brain death and transplant ethics. Rafe brings some firsthand perspective from witnessing organ harvesting during his previous surgical work, while Moon reflects on his own recent experience being with his father at the end of his life.Naturally, the thoughtful discussion eventually becomes questions about disclosure to future romantic partners, whether transplanted anatomy could be a different color and the phrase “secret three-way with a ghost.”We almost made it.Then the funny show tackles another vital scientific question: Is Missouri properly representing itself in America's swinging community?A ranking of all 50 states examines factors including clubs, online communities, hotels and other indicators of an active swinging lifestyle. Florida takes the top spot because Florida apparently looked at its existing reputation and decided to lean in. Missouri lands at number 20 overall, while ranking eighth for its number of physical swinger clubs.Respectable?Embarrassing?A challenge for next year?The crew isn't entirely sure, although Rafe refuses to accept the possibility that Cleveland might be out-performing St. Louis in the key-party department. Civic pride comes in many forms.From swinging, we make the completely natural transition into dating apps.Science apparently has an answer for how much you should reveal in your dating profile. Say too little and people assume you're sketchy. Overshare every trauma you've experienced since kindergarten and romantic interest drops. The sweet spot is the “Goldilocks bio”: enough personality and detail to seem interesting without making somebody feel like they've accidentally opened your therapist's case notes.Which means there's only one reasonable next step.Get Rafe on a dating app for the show.Rafe isn't particularly interested. He'd rather meet somebody naturally and “let the universe do it,” which is adorable and therefore completely unacceptable to his coworkers. Tinder, Hinge, Bumble and Raya all enter the discussion, along with stories of celebrities appearing in people's inboxes and the realization that getting Rafe approved for Raya may require more references than getting a mortgage.He apparently needs Wayne Gretzky to write two letters now: one for Canada and one for Raya.Eventually the search deteriorates into increasingly specific dating platforms, FarmersOnly, JDate, theoretical sea-captain dating and Rafe's dream of becoming an aspiring jet-ski owner searching for love.Romance is alive.It's just deeply confused.From Italian cookies and St. Louis Blues hockey to medical ethics, swinger statistics and celebrity dating apps, this episode somehow covers an enormous amount of territory without developing a single useful life skill.Exactly what you've come to expect from your favorite funny show.Follow The Rizzuto Show → linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → 1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Rizz officially turned 48, which means it's time to celebrate the only way responsible middle-aged adults know how: announce that birthdays are stupid, eat olives, drink approximately nine birthday beers, stay out until 1:45 in the morning and immediately begin discussing whether birthdays should be banned altogether next year.Lern returns from Nashville after one of her favorite trips with Tim, complete with cowboy boots, Broadway people-watching and a Foo Fighters show at Nissan Stadium that was approximately three degrees cooler than walking directly into a pizza oven. She missed Queens of the Stone Age thanks to dinner running late and a forgotten phone, but made it for Foo Fighters, Shane West randomly appearing during the band's trip through its members' musical histories, and a romantic finish listening from the pedestrian bridge while fireworks went off. Cute. Disgusting. We're happy for them.Guns N' Roses had their own weather problems when storms forced the band to shorten the Busch Stadium show. Naturally, this leads to the important journalistic question: if you're Guns N' Roses and rain is coming, HOW DO YOU NOT IMMEDIATELY PLAY “NOVEMBER RAIN”? We don't make the rules. Actually, apparently neither do they.Pin-Up Bowl goes from Rizz worrying nobody will show up to being absolutely packed. The special Dangler beer flows freely. Rizz receives spaghetti-and-meatball dangler earrings, another signed Don Mattingly baseball and a massive strawberry birthday cake featuring a photo of Rizz with a truly breathtaking hair situation. There's bowling, questionable decisions and eventually a migration to Delmar Hall — except for Scott, whom everyone insists they didn't abandon collectively. They merely abandoned him individually.At Delmar Hall, the Blink-182 tribute brings the hits, Bangs Against the Machine brings the Rage, Rizz keeps getting handed beverages, and eventually Mrs. Rizzuto performs the evening's most important public service by shutting down the birthday shots before somebody had to replace another shower curtain.Then comes the Quincy lottery story.Rizz brings up a movie theory that sounds just believable enough to ruin your productivity for the next hour: could The Goonies and Back to the Future take place on the exact same day?Back to the Future establishes October 26, 1985. Meanwhile, clues in The Goonies appear to place its adventure right around that same Saturday. Coincidence? Intentional cinematic universe? Evidence that Chunk was one DeLorean ride away from completely destroying the space-time continuum? We investigate with exactly the level of academic rigor you'd expect from this program.Then Brian arrives with enough food to turn the studio into a French bakery: croissants, bread, ham and Swiss, smoked deviled eggs and more. This comes after the gigantic birthday cake he'd already made for Rizz, because apparently we're now trying to see whether a radio host can be defeated entirely by carbohydrates.Nate Bargatze also sets a massive comedy ticket-sales record, sending Rafe and the crew into a genuinely interesting conversation about club comedy versus arena comedy. Rafe explains why smaller rooms create that perfect pressure cooker of laughs while superstar comics eventually reach a level where playing a 200-seat club makes about as much financial sense as opening a lemonade stand inside Costco.The entertainment conversation keeps rolling into movies, celebrity stories and eventually Brad Pitt declaring that bad acting is so distracting he can't watch porn. This results in Rafe questioning Brad Pitt's acting credentials and nearly getting thrown off the show by everyone else. The crew debates whether Pitt is actually an elite actor, just exceptionally talented at playing Brad Pitt, or both.The crew surprises him with cards carefully selected to remind him that he's old, grouchy and one year closer to death. Lern gives him a Tommy Wiseau pasta spoon. Then Rafe produces Italian rainbow cookies from Sweet Seven Layers, delivered by a New York/Jersey baker who listens to the show and apparently understands exactly how to win over a “greasy meatball” birthday boy.Sweet Seven Layers has everybody losing their minds over traditional Italian rainbow cookies, pistachio and blackberry creations, cherry amaretto and enough sugar to make Moon openly admit he's buzzing.

Functionality is everywhere – but are consumers buying the benefit or seeing right through it?  This week, we dig into the rise of protein- and fiber-enhanced snacks from Khloud, Doritos and Smartfood, the growing buzz around colostrum, and a troubling new study on avocado oil authenticity. Plus, we explore the enduring appeal of pickle flavor, Grillo's winning collaboration strategy, premium dates and the surprising technology behind Air Up.  Show notes: 0:20: Ken's Leftovers. A Function-Forward Discussion. Educate Me. It's Not What You Bought. Slurp Up. – Ray digs into a grab bag The Beverage Whisperer left behind after his recent visit to the office, including a zero-sugar sports drink from the U.K. that sparks a conversation about better-for-you sports drinks and the growing popularity of alcoholic sports beverages. The hosts then turn to functionality, sampling Khloud's new protein- and collagen-enhanced chips, Doritos Protein chips and Smartfood Fiber popcorn. They discuss whether consumers actually care about added functionality in familiar products – or if brands are simply layering trendy benefits onto legacy favorites. The conversation continues with the growing buzz around colostrum and the education required to make sense of increasingly popular functional ingredients. The episode then moves to a troubling study on avocado oil, the enduring popularity of pickle flavor and Grillo's remarkable track record of brand collaborations, before wrapping with premium Rancho Meladucco dates and Air Up's unusual approach to flavoring water through scent. Brands in this episode: Posca, Super Lyte, Goldilocks, Khloud, Quest, Doritos, Smartfood, Ancient Nutrition, Mission Craft Cocktails, Grillo's, Firehook, Ithaca, PBR, V8, Utz, Liquid I.V., Pop-Up Bagels, Burt's Bees, Hippeas, Rancho Meladucco Date Farm, Date Fix, Air Up, Szent

This week on Fed Watch, ITR Economist and Speaker Connor Lokar breaks down the latest CPI report and what it could mean for the Fed's September rate decision. Inflation delivered a “Goldilocks” reading, but for businesses and consumers waiting for clearer direction on interest rates, the outlook remains far from settled. Connor also examines continued weakness in the housing market, shifting market expectations for the Fed's next move, and why economic policy uncertainty can make investment decisions even more difficult. Plus, he responds to a viewer's take on forward guidance and considers whether the Fed can provide greater clarity without signaling its next move. Do the latest inflation and labor market data give the Fed enough reason to stay on hold in September? Share your take in the comments.

Allison Yazdian started in real estate, where she noticed the best agents were never the ones with the best listings. They were the ones who owned the direct relationship with their customers, so it didn't matter which brokerage they sat at. She went on to LTK and now runs Uscreen as CEO, building the infrastructure that lets creators sell to their audience without a platform standing in the middle.In this episode, Allison is direct about what fragile revenue actually looks like, and what happens when a creator effectively gets evicted from a platform they never owned. We cover the numbers she sees across thousands of channels (nearly 200 creators who have passed $1m, an average around $77k, and the maths on why 500 fans at $20 a month changes everything), why pricing too low is the mistake almost everyone makes, and why retention beats acquisition every time. She's also honest about the creator ick of asking people to pay, and how building in public gets you past it. Plus why audience size predicts far less than engagement, the Goldilocks problem of hiring too fast or too slow, and what she tells creators who launch, announce it once, and conclude memberships don't work for them.Topics covered: rented vs owned audience · memberships and recurring revenue · pricing strategy · retention and churn · getting past the transaction ick · super fans and community · scaling a creator team

In this episode of SB Talks, Vincent O'Neill and Chief Investment Officer Nick Ryder explore whether the US economy is entering a "Goldilocks" phase, with moderating inflation, softer employment data and exceptionally strong corporate earnings easing pressure on the Federal Reserve. They discuss what the latest US and Australian inflation figures mean for interest rates, why markets have become more optimistic about the outlook for central banks, and the key risks that remain. Closer to home, they examine the RBA's latest decision, the early themes emerging from reporting season, and what weakening housing market activity and slowing mortgage demand could mean for the Australian economy in the months ahead.   Music provided by: Autumn Trumpet Background Corporate by LesFM | https://lesfm.net/ Music promoted by https://www.chosic.com/free-music/all/ Creative Commons CC BY 3.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/   Any advice contained in this publication is general advice only and does not take into consideration the reader's personal circumstances.

You know you need to strength train in midlife to protect your bones, muscle mass, and metabolic health. But every time you try to lift weights or join a class, your back seizes, your knees throb, or your neck locks up. You are trapped in the Midlife Exercise Catch-22: terrified of losing mobility if you don't lift, but terrified of crippling pain if you do.In this episode, Mandy Ryle breaks you out of that all-or-nothing trap. Clinical evidence shows progressive exercise isn't something you earn after you're out of pain—it is the primary treatment for chronic pain itself. Discover why rest makes tendons stiffer, how progressive overload retrains a hyper-vigilant nervous system, and how Graded Exposure is somatic strength, and allows you to build strength without flaring!Timestamps00:00 – The Midlife Exercise Catch-2201:19 – The Real Purpose of Somatics: Getting Strong02:15 – Estrogen Decline, Muscle Loss & Bone Health05:37 – Muscle as Your Primary Metabolic Organ07:44 – Why Mainstream Fitness Advice Fails Pain Sufferers09:51 – The Science: Exercise as #1 Chronic Pain Treatment11:42 – Research on Osteoarthritis & Joint Health13:01 – Why Tendons Need Loading, Not Rest15:03 – Desensitizing Nervous System Threat Algorithms18:26 – Graded Exposure: Micro-Dosing Resistance20:20 – Movement Variables to Prevent Flare-UpsKey TakeawaysThe Midlife Catch-22: Declining estrogen makes loading mandatory, but traditional workout intensity triggers protective nervous system flare-ups.Rest Makes Tendons Worse: Tendinopathies and osteoarthritis require controlled mechanical load to remodel tissue.

I spent years proving that one personally.In this episode I break down the Perfect Week, the exact method I use to help coaches plan seven days of high-intent content in one short sitting. It runs on six simple messages called the six P's, a framework I picked up from my good friend Taki Moore, and it fixes what most coaches get wrong. They think they have a platform problem. Almost every time, it's a message problem.If you're a coach, service professional, or agency owner who posts consistently and still hears crickets where the clients should be, this is for you. You don't need to make more content. You need to say something the right person actually remembers a week later.Here's what I get into:The Perfect Week method for planning a full week of content in one short session (my clients did theirs in about 25 minutes)Why posting consistently can still leave you invisible, thanks to the sneaky outlier methodWhy your message is the real asset and every platform is just a way to deliver itHand-to-mouth planning vs prepper planning, and the Goldilocks week that beats both for coachesAll six P's in depth: philosophy, problem, pain, person, plan, and proofI'm not handing you a recycled guru framework or a wall of AI slop.

Rabbi Matt Shapiro's Shabbat Sermon at Temple Beth Am, Los Angeles, August 8, 2026. (Youtube)Special Guest: Rabbi Matt Shapiro.

What if the reason your skincare stopped working has nothing to do with your products, and everything to do with your mitochondria? I sit down with Jennifer Scheinman, registered dietitian and senior manager of nutrition affairs at Timeline, to talk about the science most of us have never applied to our skin. We already know mitochondrial decline drives muscle loss, brain fog, and fatigue as we age. I go deep on why that exact same cellular decline is showing up on your face as wrinkles, sagging, thinning, and dullness, and why retinol and vitamin C alone are not enough to address it. I go deep on the surprising connection between estrogen and mitochondrial function, why so many of us wake up one day feeling like we do not recognize our own skin, and what is actually happening at the cellular level during that shift. I go deep on the controversial sun exposure conversation, the difference between natural and clean skincare, and the real research behind urolithin A, the molecule at the center of Timeline's new MitoPure skincare line. Jennifer walks us through exactly how mitophagy works, what the clinical data actually shows in women ages 47 to 65, and how to build a simplified routine without giving up the products you already love. If your skin has felt like it aged overnight, this conversation will change how you think about what it actually needs. We Go Deep On:  Why mitochondrial decline shows up on your face before anywhere else The "reverse puberty" of menopausal skin Why retinol gets harder to tolerate as you age The estrogen-mitochondria connection nobody talks about Is sun exposure good or bad? The Goldilocks answer Why "too fit" can actually age your face faster What mitophagy is and why it matters for your skin Natural vs. clean vs. toxic: cutting through the noise The real research behind urolithin A and MitoPure How to simplify your skincare routine without losing results Catch the full episode on YOUTUBE HERE: https://bit.ly/MidlifeConversationsYouTube   Learn More About Jennifer Scheinman Instagram ➜ https://www.instagram.com/timeline_longevity   Website ➜  https://timeline.com/NATALIEJILL     Thank you to our show sponsors:  QUANTUM UPGRADE: Try Quantum Upgrade completely free for 15 days—no credit card required.

In this episode, Chandra and Paul continue their discussion with Cindy Edwards focused on practical stress management techniques, particularly how individuals can regulate and process stress in real time. Cindy explains concepts like the "window of tolerance" or the "goldilocks of the brain" and brain networks involved in stress response, outlining actionable steps such as "name it to tame it," conducting body scans, reframing stressful situations, and the importance of movement and controlled breathing. The conversation highlights challenges faced by both neurotypical and neurodiverse brains in managing stress, emphasizes the role of self-awareness, and encourages the use of breaks and physical activity to restore balance.04:05 Understanding the "Window of Tolerance" or "Goldilocks of the Brain"08:46 Switching between brain networks10:52 Understanding the brain's body budget15:22 Five key things to do in the middle of stress26:56 Importance of Acknowledging Emotions30:45 MidwesternismResources:Cindy Edwards - To Find Your Fit and https://www.linkedin.com/in/cindyedwards/Psychology References: Dan Siegel - https://drdansiegel.com/Book references: Caroline Williams – Move - https://www.carolinewilliams.net/move

Turning around a distressed apartment community takes far more than finding a good deal. It takes the right people, systems, and discipline. Ken Doble shares how his team searches for what he calls "Goldilocks" multifamily opportunities where rents are below market, operations need improvement, and real value can be created through execution rather than speculation. He also explains how losing everything during the 2008 financial crisis changed the way he evaluates risk today. One of the highlights of the conversation is Ken's Five Ps of Property Management. He explains how focusing on people, pricing, promotion, product, and process helped transform a struggling student housing property after acquisition. Key Topics Finding true distressed multifamily opportunities Lessons learned from the 2008 market collapse Why patience matters when buying apartments The Five Ps of Property Management Turning around an underperforming student housing community Why operations determine long term success Guest Information Ken Doble is a multifamily real estate investor and operator with decades of experience managing thousands of apartment units. He currently focuses on acquiring distressed multifamily properties through Logan Capital. Connect with Ken on LinkedIn. Call to Action Connect with Ken Doble on LinkedIn to follow his daily insights on multifamily investing and property management.

Elon Musk may be looking to bring Tesla and SpaceX closer together, but a potential deal could raise major questions about China, defense contracts, corporate control, and just how much value is tied to Musk himself.Chuck Zodda and Mike Armstrong discuss reports that Tesla may sell its China business to clear the way for a potential SpaceX merger, why the combined company could resemble a Korean-style industrial conglomerate, and why Tesla and SpaceX may be more dependent on one person than any other major companies in the market. They also break down rising bond yields, climbing mortgage rates, Big Oil's surge in profits, and why capping oil company profits is not as simple as it sounds. Plus, they look at the Goldilocks inflation narrative, the wild surprises that shaped markets this week, the Strait of Hormuz autocorrect that stole the show, and why some drivers are going to extremes to avoid new car technology.

Scientists have long referred to the Goldilocks zone – the region around a star where conditions are not too hot and not too cold but “just right” for life. Joined by a live audience at the Cheltenham Science Festival in the UK, Tom Whipple asks what are the true limitations of alien life? How do we spot it? And have we been looking too narrowly? Planetary scientist at MIT Sara Seagar discusses her team's mission to Venus where, on the surface, temperatures can reach 500 degrees Celsius and it rains sulphuric acid. Above the rain, up in the clouds, Sara Seagar tells us how there could be life. And Lewis Dartnell, Professor of astrobiology at the University of Westminster, describes how he looks for extremophiles. These are organisms on earth that are found in places we once thought impossibly hostile to life. Plus, the missions to find life on Mars....

In this episode of Tiny Show and Tell Us, we dive into the surprisingly elaborate world of occlupanids: the humble plastic bread bag clips that have inspired an entire taxonomy complete with Latin names, species classifications, and a community of collectors. Then, we investigate a strange power outage in central Texas, where power poles caught fire after a light drizzle. We unpack the science behind pole-top fires, the "Goldilocks" weather conditions that fuel them, and the surprising technologies being used to inspect and maintain power grids across the world.

In this episode, Chandra and Paul welcome Cindy Edwards, owner of Find Your Fit, LLC, coach, trainer and speaker, to delve into the science of stress management and resiliency, especially as it applies to the fast-paced, ever-changing world of technology. Cindy breaks down applied neuroscience in an accessible way, explaining how our sensory systems and neurochemistry, especially the delicate balance of dopamine and norepinephrine in the prefrontal cortex, the so-called "Goldilocks" zone, shape our responses to stress and boredom alike. The trio discusses practical strategies for recognizing stress signals, the crucial role of sleep in mental and physical recovery, and the surprising power of laughter and human connection as natural buffers against anxiety.08:30 Introducing Cindy Edwards13:44 What is Stress?18:04 Understanding stress and boredom22:41 MidwesternismResources:Cindy Edwards - To Find Your Fit and https://www.linkedin.com/in/cindyedwards/Books: Why We Sleep by Matthew Walker, PhD

In this episode I walk you through three real examples of what defense actually looks like — two from clients, one from my own life — and the single move underneath all three. You'll hear why the frozen-pizza night is never really about the pizza, how to stop freezing when "I should already know better" keeps you stuck, and the exact question I stopped asking myself so I'd quit pushing work to "tomorrow" forever. Here's the theme: the goal is never to try harder or be more disciplined. It's to find your specific vulnerability — the place things fall apart — and build a defensive strategy right there. And your defense won't look like mine, or like any of my clients'. That's the whole point. In this episode: Why the salad-vs-pizza guilt is the wrong conversation entirely How to escape the Goldilocks trap: the "should" too big to do, the "could" too small to count The backward-looking question quietly sabotaging your progress — and the one that protects it What it looks like to defend a vulnerability instead of white-knuckling through it → We're enrolling for the August cohort right now — and this is the final pay-what-you-can cohort ever. This is where you learn to run defense on your own patterns, with me. Doors close soon. Get in: elizabethbenton.com/defense Don't wait on this one. Pay-what-you-can is ending, and it's not coming back.

Many people experience fatigue in their lives. Many people experience issues with their iron levels. It's one of those Goldilocks nutrients. We don't want it too high or too low, and we definitely want it effectively absorbed to the level we need to make the most of it in our bodies for our energy and a whole bunch of other processes.We had two podcasts on iron last year. One of those was with Rebecca Edwards, naturopath and practitioner lecturer. It was the kind of podcast that leaves you wanting more. I reached out to Rebecca, and we held a masterclass in our Low Tox Club complete with Q&As, live blood panel assessments that members sent in for analysis, and Rebecca guiding us with questions to ask your practitioner. We looked also at key players that affect iron levels are not about the relationship of how much iron you're getting in your diet, but about how hormones, the gut microbiome, the gut lining and various changes in someone's life can all be factors for issues with iron levels. I made this master class into a podcast so that you could benefit from growing your literacy on iron in your own health, given how many people do.Enjoy the show. Definitely listen to the first show that we did with Rebecca last year. It's not completely a prerequisite, but it will definitely be helpful to listen to both.If you have issues around fatigue or iron right now in your own life, you are in for a very supportive treat.Alexx StuartYour Host.

Episode 266: Your Emotional Thermostat explores why our brains naturally try to keep us in what's familiar, even when that means avoiding growth. Whether it's fear, self-doubt, vulnerability, or even joy and success, we all have an "emotional thermostat" that wants to pull us back to our comfort zone. In this episode, I explain why emotional discomfort isn't something to fear and how increasing your capacity to experience all emotions can help you become more confident, resilient, and emotionally steady throughout your mission and beyond. Using stories from my own life, coaching experiences, and the analogy of Goldilocks' "just right" temperature, I share why our goal isn't to eliminate uncomfortable emotions but to learn how to move through them with intention. We talk about why your brain searches for problems, how your emotional baseline influences your decisions, and why true self-confidence isn't the absence of fear—it's trusting yourself to handle whatever emotions come your way. If you've ever found yourself avoiding hard conversations, new experiences, vulnerability, or even success because it feels uncomfortable, I hope this episode helps you see those emotions differently. Your world will only grow as large as the emotions you're willing to feel. I hope Episode 266: Your Emotional Thermostat gives you practical tools to expand your capacity, strengthen your confidence, and continue creating the mission and life you truly want. As always, if you found this episode helpful, I want to invite you to subscribe if you aren't already, share this episode with your friends and missionaries you know, and write a review.

Your prices are doing far more than telling people how much something costs. They're shaping first impressions, attracting (or repelling) certain buyers, and communicating where your business sits in the market. In this episode, I will unpack one of the most overlooked parts of pricing: what your prices are saying about your offers before you've even spoken to a potential client.Using real-world examples, I explore why so many talented service providers unintentionally attract clients who question every decision, haggle over every invoice, and expect far more than they paid for. We look at how pricing influences perception, why "great value" isn't always the positioning you're aiming for, and how trying to make yourself feel more affordable can actually move you further away from the clients you really want to work with.If you've ever wondered why your dream clients aren't enquiring, or why you keep attracting buyers who are laser-focused on getting the cheapest option, this episode will encourage you to look beyond the number itself. What You'll Learn in This EpisodeWhy pricing is one of the biggest positioning decisions you'll makeHow your prices influence the type of clients you attractThe hidden messages different pricing strategies communicateWhy "affordable" isn't always the smartest positioningThe problem with Goldilocks pricing and endless discountsHow to align your prices with the clients you actually want to work withWhy pricing confidence starts long before someone enquires"Your price is a signal to the people you want to attract."Mentioned in this episode:Join Rave Your Raves TodayStill undercharging?

It was posted in the locker room. He said it every day. I still think about it all the time. There is no hack. There is no one thing. At many keynote Q&As, someone asks me for a quick fix. The only answer is the power of compounding. Consistency, dependability, and reliability are the least sexy words of all time. And they're the whole game. Take your work seriously. Don't take yourself seriously. The best leaders go hard at the work but laugh at themselves. It's important to be able to laugh with your team. Optionality is overrated.  "I'm trying to beef up my obituary. I'm not going to dabble." - Ed Latimore (Ep. 648) Live like a hawk. Hawks have eyesight eight times better than humans. They glide and observe constantly. But once they see what they want, they commit with everything they have. Be a professional noticer. Then commit fully. Talk to your people before big decisions. My dad. Miranda. And the wide network of high-caliber people I've built over 700 podcast episodes. Be specific. Off the record. Long conversations. Then trust your gut. Take bits and pieces from the best. Then find your own voice. As a brand new sales rep at LexisNexis, Rex Caswell had me interview and sit with the ten best reps in the company. I took a piece from each, mashed it together with my own personality, and eventually found my own voice. I still use that formula today. Use social media to create in-person moments. Organize dinners, meetups, coffees. Get in the room with people. Concert ticket prices and The World Cup tell you everything you need to know about how much people are craving in-person connection right now. Don't outsource your thinking to AI. You can't walk into the weight room, look around, and expect to build muscle. You have to move the weights. Use AI as a tool. Don't let it do the thinking for you. Your job is to add value to other people's lives. Coach Hoeppner sat 19-year-old me down with the other quarterback and pointed at both of us: "He adds more value to our team than you do. He gives us a better chance to win. That's why he's going to play." It was brutal. It was a very lucky moment for me to experience that in my formative years. I fell into the AI trap. The Be a Pro section originally started as a LinkedIn post that was heavily influenced by Claude. It went well on Twitter too. People DM'd me praising it. It felt great. And it scared me. I was getting the rewards without doing the work. The good old days are right now. I try to work hard when my family is asleep or at school. Between those hours, I go as hard as I can. Outside those hours, I try not to work too much. I've talked with so many dads who are older now, and their kids are out of the house. They miss the time when they were with their kids so much. I try to think of that daily. Making positive dents in the world. Leave people, places, and things better than you found them.  That's how you make a positive dent, one person at a time. My philosophy on keynotes and writing: story, science, and practical application. Great storytelling to move people to the edge of their seat. Empirical evidence to make it true. Practical application to answer, "So what? Why should I care?" You have to have all 3. Our edge in coaching leadership teams: my coaches actively live what they teach. They didn't attend a seminar and get certified. They're still active coaches themselves, still leading teams in real time. That's what separates authentic teaching from performance. Push your edges. Find your Goldilocks zone. James Clear told me you don't get better at tennis by playing Roger Federer. He'll destroy you. But you also don't get better by playing a five-year-old. You need to be uncomfortable, but not so uncomfortable that you break. Shane Gillis walked off stage looking exhausted. Dan saw him live in Cincinnati. On stage, effortless. The second he stepped behind the curtain, his shoulders slumped like he was ready to fall asleep. That's what the great ones do. They make it look easy because of the price they paid to get there. My productive paranoia. Our team has to earn it every session. It creates a productive paranoia knowing that continuous improvement is necessary. The reward is bigger than the cost. It's the greatest gig in the world. I bet on myself and the team every single day because if we keep adding value, I like our chances. Reflection Questions Where are you dabbling right now? What would 100% commitment actually look like, and what's stopping you from making the call? My end-of-day prompts: What did I do today to add value to others' lives? What did I do today to push my edges?

Stage four to stage zero is now possible. Dr. William Li, author of Eat to Beat Disease, explains how your body works to beat cancer and other anomalies.Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1357What We Discuss with Dr. William Li:You probably have cancer right now — and that's normal. Your 40 trillion cells copy-paste daily, mistakes happen, and microscopic tumors form constantly. Health isn't the absence of disease, but your defenses catching those errors before they matter.The "war on cancer" framing is a WWII hand-me-down — chemo traces back to leaked mustard gas. Contrarily, Dr. William Li believes we should stop napalming the body and raise its shields instead. Immunotherapy and custom cancer vaccines are now taking some patients from stage four to stage zero.Your body runs five defenses: angiogenesis, stem cells, the microbiome, DNA repair, immunity. But more isn't necessarily better — for instance, too many blood vessels feed tumors and cause blindness. The body wants a Goldilocks amount, growing and pruning constantly. Disease is these systems slipping.Before you inject that gray-market peptide: the biology may be real, but "not ready for prime time" means unknown dose, no oversight, and possible contamination. Dr. Li calls it Breaking Bad biology. One supplier's "mushrooms" tested as 90% dyed sawdust. Buyer beware.The empowering part: food is information, not magic. Cruciferous vegetables deliver sulforaphane that unmasks tumor-suppressor genes; fiber feeds gut bacteria that dial down inflammation and even nudge your own GLP-1. Master the fundamentals — sleep, plants, gut — before chasing biohacks.And much more...And if you're still game to support us, please leave a review here — even one sentence helps!

You have to draw a line somewhere.

The Tim Conway Jr. Show Hour 3 (7.6) Lou Penrose fills in for Tim Conway Jr. and opens with a feel-good phenomenon blowing up online: Europeans are stunned by American hospitality. Instead of the rudeness they were told to expect, tourists are discovering a warm, welcoming culture — and it's sparking massive debate. A German man literally cried, having been made to believe the U.S. was unsafe and nothing but shootings. Turns out Americans aren't rude at all. Have you ever picked up the tab for a stranger? The viral wave rolls on: strangers are covering the bills of international travelers, from an Irish couple to that German guy who now LOVES America. Europeans are gushing over everyday Americana — gas station culture, diners, the works. Meanwhile, Team USA crashes out of the World Cup Round of 16 alongside hosts Mexico and Canada. And Kraft cashes in on the World Cup ranch-dressing craze with a limited-edition "TSA-Compliant Ranch" travel kit. Plus Lou does the French fry math — 46 in a small, 62 in a medium, 100 in a large — and the verdict is clear: always go large. Then Lou looks at the stars. Mount Rushmore's 250th anniversary, the USAF Academy Band steals the holiday weekend, and scientists spotlight a new Earth-like planet just 25 light-years away sitting in the "Goldilocks Zone" — not too hot, not too cold, just right for liquid water and maybe life. Plus, a food-safety reality check: the 2-hour rule, the bacteria "danger zone," and why that "sell-by" date isn't what you think. And Domino's "Best Deal Ever" — ANY pizza, any toppings, $9.99. Are you getting crazy with your toppings? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The big opinions are coming fast and furious as the Term ends. This episode, we take on two related cases from the penultimate opinion drop day: Trump v. Slaughter, which overrules Humphrey's Executor and clears away for-cause protection for the independent agencies, alongside its interim-docket companion Trump v. Cook, where the very same logic somehow spares the Federal Reserve. The big question: if the President can fire an FTC commissioner at will, what actually makes the Fed different — is "history" doing the work, or is the Court just saving the bond markets? Along the way: Heidegger's "always already," whether the metaphor of a living tree is consistent with originalism, a Goldilocks definition of "cause," the Chief leaning on his own unworkable precedents, the Ex parte Young mystery that keeps escaping the Court's grasp, and the first appearance of "the interim docket" in the U.S. Reports.Highlights[00:00:18] The penultimate opinion day — four down, four to go[00:00:50] The last-day pileup, and the McCain-Feingold campaign-finance case still pending[00:03:25] A confession: staircase wit, and the metaphor Will wishes he'd used[00:04:27] The living tree as an originalist — and the petrified-tree rejoinder[00:06:01] The new custom-cover workflow, and what Claude still isn't allowed to write[00:07:00] The day's four opinions: Cook, Slaughter, Chatrie, and Watson v.

In this episode, I share a strange little tactic for your next membership promo - one that goes against pretty much everything you've been told about sales offers.Instead of giving people the lowest possible barrier to entry with a free trial or a discounted first month, I make the case for going in the complete opposite direction: incentivising new members to commit to a longer initial period of 90 days.I explain why this counterintuitive approach attracts better-fit members, protects you against the riskiest retention window, and makes it far easier to frame your offer around a real outcome people can actually picture.If your usual trials, discounts and bonuses have stopped hitting the mark, this episode is for you.In this episode:Why does asking new members for a longer initial commitment so often outperform free trials and discounted first months?What makes the 90-day window the "Goldilocks zone" - long enough to demand real commitment, short enough that people believe they can achieve something?How does locking members in past the risky first 30 days improve both your retention and the quality of the people you attract?How can you build an onboarding and engagement plan around a single 90-day outcome so the offer genuinely delivers?How could you turn this into a series of 90-day sprints that carry members through every stage of your wider roadmap?Want help turning this tactic into an offer you can actually run? Grab the free 90-Day Offer Planner at membershipgeeks.com/480 - a fill-in-the-blank workbook that takes you from outcome to pricing to the full 90-day pathway.And if you'd like a wider view of where the gaps in your membership business actually are, our free Membership Healthcheck is built for exactly that.Key Quotes & Takeaways:"The biggest retention risk window in most memberships is the first 30 days.""90 days, I think, hits the sweet spot between requiring people to actually make a commitment to do it properly, but also to realistically believe that they can make meaningful change.""The people who will say yes to a 90-day commitment are the ones who are more likely to be taking things seriously.""Most meaningful change in a membership doesn't happen in month one, it doesn't happen in 30 days."You might also find useful:Should I Charge Monthly Or Annually For My Membership Site?Is Your Member Onboarding Missing These 3 Vital Things?Should I Offer a Trial for My Membership Website?How To Improve Member Retention And Reduce ChurnThank You For ListeningWe really appreciate you choosing to listen to us and for supporting the podcast.We would be eternally grateful if you would consider taking a minute or two to leave an honest review and rating for the show.They're extremely helpful when it comes to reaching our audience and we read each and every one personally!Finally, don't forget to subscribe to the podcast to make sure that you never miss an episode.

Baker YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/pCRYMeCFQik  A June 17, 2026, court hearing addressed Karen Read's motion to compel a deposition and document production from non-party witness Colin Albert. The court expressed significant frustration with both legal teams over their "bitchiness" in emails and the inclusion of "arguments as facts" within their hyperbolic filings. While the defense claimed Albert had "virtually zero relevance" and had already sat for one deposition, the Judge insisted that a subpoena "needs to mean something" and rejected the suggestion to wait until the fall for a new appearance. Ultimately, the court ordered the attorneys to spend the weekend negotiating a "Goldilocks zone" for the scope of document discovery and to return the following Monday with a confirmed date for Albert's deposition before the August discovery deadline.

Most patients on antidepressants are told they can't take methylene blue, even for brain fog. Steven E. Warren, a physician and longevity medicine clinician, joins Kevin to discuss his KevinMD article "51 cases that reframe methylene blue serotonin syndrome." You'll hear why 50 of the 51 published serotonin-syndrome cases involved high-dose IV methylene blue given under anesthesia, mostly during parathyroid surgery, rather than the low oral doses used in outpatient longevity practice. Steven walks through the Goldilocks dosing posture he uses for patients with brain fog, why he screens every patient's full medication list for interactions before starting, and why he tells every patient there are no randomized trials behind methylene blue. He also describes the broader longevity practice he sees daily: patients stacking peptides from the gym, megadosing vitamin D from podcasts, and ordering supplements off Amazon without quality control. If you're a clinician fielding methylene blue questions or a patient considering it, listen for the questions Steven thinks should be asked before starting any unstudied supplement.

Garret Price and Andrew Mott return for a Goldilocks style ADP episode, going player by player to decide whether each Superflex tight end premium price is too high, too low, or just right. The conversation is built for dynasty managers trying to find value before startup and rookie drafts heat up. Listen to This Episode: Apple Podcasts Spotify YouTube The crew opens with Malik Nabers, whose price feels just right even with a noisy offseason, and Jalen Hurts, who they argue is going too low at quarterback nine. Tucker Kraft sparks a debate about paying up for a tight end coming off an ACL injury, with both leaning toward a fair but underwhelming 2026. The back half covers Breece Hall as a steady RB2, Jordan Love as a true quarterback dead zone asset, and a string of upside receivers. Jameson Williams and Nico Collins both profile as strong WR3 options with week winning upside, while Ladd McConkey lands as a just right buy with room to climb.
