America isn't just leading the AI race; it's increasingly built on it. Investor–author Ruchir Sharma joins Bankless to unpack why U.S. growth, stock gains, and even debt complacency are now tethered to a single story, and what a sensible hedge looks like. We trace how U.S. dominance happened, what could puncture the current euphoria, and where the real diversification lives: quality stocks that have lagged, broad ex-US exposure with currency tailwinds, and selective bets in India, China, and reform winners like Greece and Poland. We also tackle the “gold + stocks up together” puzzle, why that correlation can bite in a tightening cycle, and Ruchir's “two cheers” case for Bitcoin as a portfolio asset whose utility still has room to grow. ---

Entrepreneurship Is a Hedge, Not a RiskAI is hollowing out the entry-level ladder—and waiting for “safe” jobs might be the riskiest bet of all. In this episode, I make the case that entrepreneurship isn't a leap off a cliff; it's a hedge against uncertainty. We start with why doing beats studying: real skills—focus, math-in-action, communication, selling, project ownership—grow faster through small businesses and gigs than through lectures. Youth (and career-changers) should learn by shipping, reflecting, and iterating with a mentor—more like a trade than a theory class.Then we track how once-stable white-collar roles (fitness coaching, accounting, creative services, even analysis work) now reward entrepreneurial abilities: building relationships, marketing yourself, collaborating, packaging outcomes, and selling solutions. These aren't “nice to have”; they're the new prerequisites.Finally, we explore entrepreneurship as a practical hedge. Instead of graduating into debt, degree, and delay, you can earn while you learn—stacking micro-projects, building a network, and compounding skills that can't be automated or taxed away. Whether you go full-time or keep a job, a small business gives you agency: more ways to make money, more optionality in downturns, and a faster path to confidence and competence. Don't wait for permission. Start small, start now, and let experience be the teacher that sticks.Connect with Chris Cooper:Website - https://businessisgood.com/

Planning a hedge can feel like a maze: endless species, mixed advice, and pressure to get it right for the long haul. We cut through the noise with a clear framework that starts with purpose, respects your site, and ends with a shortlist you can trust. Whether you want privacy that feels soft, a living windbreak, neat garden rooms, or a wildlife corridor buzzing with life, you'll find practical picks and honest trade-offs.We dive into deciduous stalwarts like beech and hornbeam, explaining why beech remains a favourite for structure and low maintenance, and when hornbeam wins on wetter ground. For biodiversity, we show how to build a native mix—hawthorn, blackthorn, hazel, viburnum opulus, and rugosa rose—that feeds pollinators and birds through the seasons. We also explain why tight clipping hides flowers and berries, and how to let sections grow out for real ecological value without losing order.If evergreen is your brief, we unpack cotoneaster cornubia's glossy leaves and autumn berries, griselinia's coastal toughness, slow but classy holly, and the underrated reliability of privet and escallonia where frost is light. We give straight talk on photinia's red flush versus real-world maintenance, and chat about our bad memeroies of leylandii and look at better conifer choices like Thuja ‘Emerald'. We also share when laurel is manageable and when it becomes a long-term problem for landscapes. For those who love clean lines, yew offers timeless elegance, while box still frames spaces beautifully, with lonicera as a tougher alternative where knocks happen.You'll leave with a simple decision path: define the job, assess wind, frost, wet, choose evergreen or deciduous with intent, and pick spacing that fills without waste. We wrap with smart screening tactics that may only need a handful of well-placed plants to block sightlines and keep your view.

Sometimes we just like to talk about "life issues" as they relate to network engineering and technology career fields.

Derek Moore is joined by Shane Skinner and Mike Snyder where they look at the dispersion happening within the S&P 500 Index November to date. Then, they discuss the outflows ongoing for the small caps and what if anything that means. Later, looking at the effects of earnings on Nvidia's option prices, Apple's outlier as the strongest of the Mag 7 this week, and reviewing how the market re-rating caused the market to ease even though another record forward earnings expectation number from analysts.   Not all Mag-7 stocks are acting in unison NVDA implied volatility comparison between expirations around earnings Small cap outflows are showing people aren't favoring them this year despite interest rate cuts Forward 12-month analyst EPS estimates on S&P 500 hit record high While the forward multiple declines in a market re-rating Apple vs the other Mag-7 stocks Market pullback before going for 7000?

We'd love to hear from you. What are your thoughts and questions?In this enlightening conversation, Collin Plume shares his journey into the world of precious metals, particularly silver, and discusses its significance as a wealth protection tool. He elaborates on the industrial uses of silver, its recent price surge, and the long-term investment strategies that can benefit investors. The discussion also touches on the role of central banks in the silver market and offers practical steps for new investors looking to diversify their portfolios with silver.Main Points: Collin's journey into precious metals began with his grandfather's gift of silver coins.Gold and silver are considered real money, unlike fiat currency.The demand for silver is driven by over 10,000 industrial uses.Recent price surges in silver are influenced by geopolitical factors and market sentiment.Investing in silver can provide a hedge against economic uncertainty.Central banks are increasingly buying gold and silver as a strategic investment.Silver's industrial demand is expected to grow, leading to potential shortages.Investors should consider the long-term value of silver rather than short-term fluctuations.Building a relationship with a trusted investment firm is crucial for new investors.Physical ownership of silver offers a tangible asset in an increasingly digital world.Connect with Collin Plume:https://www.linkedin.com/company/noble-gold-investments/posts/?feedView=allhttps://www.facebook.com/NobleGoldInvestments?mibextid=wwXIfrhttps://www.instagram.com/noblegoldinvestments?igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ==X: @NobleGoldIRAhttps://www.youtube.com/@NobleGoldhttps://www.tiktok.com/@noblegoldinvestments

Send us a textWhat if your devotion were put on trial, not by critics online, but before the throne of God? We open Job 1:6–12 and sit with the shock of a scene where Satan accuses, God permits within boundaries, and a faithful man stands to be tested. The famous “hedge” becomes more than a metaphor; it is a fivefold inventory of protection and prosperity that the accuser twists into a claim that worship is just a transaction. We push back on that claim with Scripture, reason, and lived experience.Together we read the text and explore the difference between divine foreknowledge as a hunch and divine decree as certainty. If God truly knows the future, how does he know? We argue the hard but hopeful case: he knows because he orders, and his ordering is never cruel. That frame turns trials into training—limits are set, purpose is preserved, and grace meets us where our strength runs out. Our conversation gets real as panelists share fresh losses, anger, confession, and unexpected courage, showing how Job's questions walk into modern paychecks, deployments, and hard conversations.You'll leave with a clearer view of the fivefold hedge, a deeper grasp of why Satan surveils the righteous, and a practical picture of contentment that holds in feast and famine. Most of all, you'll hear why praise that survives subtraction is the kind of testimony no accusation can erase. If you're navigating setback or staring down uncertainty, this study offers sturdy hope anchored in God's sovereignty and kindness.If this helped steady your heart, follow the show, share it with a friend who's hurting, and leave a quick review so others can find these studies.Support the showBE PROVOKED AND BE PERSUADED!

Send us a textWhat if your losses don't mean God left you but prove He's closer than you imagined? We open with laughter, travel plans, and the simple joy of hugging friends again, then move straight into the raw center of the book of Job: accusations, anguish, and an unbroken bond between the Giver and those He loves. Along the way, we weigh a tough claim—do we love God or just His gifts—and ask what a divine hedge actually protects when life burns down.Together, we confront the lie that prosperity guarantees favor and suffering signals failure. You'll hear a father's hard wisdom about friendship, followed by a bolder truth: even our best relationships can't carry the weight that only Christ can bear. We share a gripping testimony of a physician's fall from status to a basement room and how presence—not platitudes—carried him through. Another voice raises a startling question: if everything you counted on was gone, would your heart still say Abba Father? The conversation doesn't dodge pain or tidy it up; it shows how the Spirit witnesses within us when words fail and how real fellowship refuses to be like Job's friends who accused instead of comforted.We press into the text where Satan challenges Job's motives and, ironically, admits something true: God sets a hedge. Not a fence to block every blow but a boundary that keeps faith from failing. We trace how that changes the way we read our own lives—how humility grows when plans collapse, how assurance rests on God's character rather than our performance, and how to show up for people without handing them shame. If you've ever wondered whether you're held when you're hurting, this conversation offers sturdy hope, honest stories, and a better way to measure your life than outcomes.If this resonates, follow the show, share it with someone who needs courage today, and leave a review so others can find these conversations. Tell us: where has God met you in loss?Support the showBE PROVOKED AND BE PERSUADED!

Send us a textWhat if the fiercest test of faith isn't loss itself but the accusation behind it—that you only love God for what He gives? We walk through Job's opening drama, where Satan calls Job “spoiled,” and we examine how that lie still stalks modern faith, especially in seasons of comfort and prosperity.We open with the antichrist spirit and the drift that follows unchecked prosperity, then ground the conversation in Scripture: 1 Samuel's unblushing claim that the Lord brings low and lifts up, and James' steadying call to be swift to hear and slow to wrath. From there, we tackle narcissism as the pattern of rebellion, the way it fuels enmity toward God, and how focusing on things above breaks its spell. The Job narrative becomes a lens for spiritual warfare: Satan recognizes God as the source of all good yet twists motive into accusation, insisting devotion is just payment for perks.The conversation pushes deeper into theology and hope. We contrast the angels' fall with the grace given to humanity—Christ provided a Savior for us, not for them—and wrestle with why so much bad doctrine starts with a soft view of human nature. If we're merely wounded, willpower looks heroic; if we're dead in sin, salvation is a sovereign resurrection. Colossians' warning against “will worship” lands with force, reframing faith as gift rather than self-generated achievement. Against that backdrop, Job's hedge of protection makes sense: God may lower it for a time, yet He guards what matters most—our life in Him and the quality of our eternity.Expect a candid, Scripture-soaked journey that blends theology with practical wisdom: how prosperity can rot conviction, why trials purify love, and how to anchor your heart when motives are under fire. If you've ever wondered whether your devotion would survive without benefits, this conversation offers clarity and courage.If this resonates, follow the show, share it with a friend who's in a storm, and leave a review with one insight you're taking into the week. Your words help others find hope.Support the showBE PROVOKED AND BE PERSUADED!

Send us a textIf the hedge around Job wasn't about his wealth, what did God actually protect? We take you inside a spirited, scripture-rich exploration that reframes the classic story: Satan targeted the outside, but God guarded the inside. From a quick tour of Job's opening chapters to the Hebrew nuance of “hedge” as a guarded vineyard wall, we track how divine boundaries limit the enemy while preserving the core that matters—faith, fidelity, and life before God.You'll hear a medical perspective on how Job's afflictions could have been fatal without a supernatural limit, which brings the point home: God set terms that preserved Job's life and, more importantly, the integrity of his faithfulness. We wrestle through Satan's bold claim that loss would provoke cursing and consider an unsettling implication—Satan expects Job to live, and he underestimates where the hedge truly lies. That insight opens to a larger theme: we are kept by God's power, and the enemy's aim is to downgrade the quality of our eternity by shifting our trust from God to gifts.Together we name a simple, demanding pattern drawn straight from the text: be perfect, be upright, fear God, eschew evil. Not perfectionism, but wholeness; not image, but inner reality. Along the way, we challenge the modern reflex to equate blessing with accumulation and call out the danger of a system that rewards the external while neglecting the heart. Job's story exposes that trap and invites a different measure of success: a faith God plants and God preserves, even when everything else falls away.If this conversation sparked fresh thinking about suffering, protection, and what God values most, hit follow, share it with a friend who needs this perspective, and leave a quick review to help others find the show.Support the showBE PROVOKED AND BE PERSUADED!

Is quantum really an immediate and dangerous threat to current cryptography systems, or are we pushing to hastily adopt new technologies we won't necessarily need for a few more years? Should we allow the quantum pie to bake a few more years before slicing a piece and digging in? George Michaelson joins Russ and Tom to discuss.

What if your garden boundary could feed you, shelter wildlife, and still keep a clean line against the field next door? We dive into the art of building an edible hedge that does real work: a thorny native backbone for structure and stock-proofing, layered with fruiting shrubs, nuts, and small trees that lift harvests through the seasons. Starting with hawthorn and blackthorn as the core, we show how holly adds winter presence and bird food, while hazel punctuates the run with future nut crops. Then we take the hedge vertical, spacing crab apple, damson, and standard apples on vigorous rootstocks to rise above the canopy for blossom, colour, and reliable fruit.From there, it's all about diversity and placement. We weave in dog rose for hips and habitat, aronia for hardy berries, and elder for flowers and fruit that thrive in hedgerow conditions. Classic soft fruits like raspberries, currants, and blackberries fit in as generous pockets, joined by quince and hardy hybrids such as jostaberry and loganberry. The key is management: avoid boxy clipping, prune after fruiting, and let the hedge breathe so flowering wood stays intact. Expect early nibbles by year two and a full, productive screen by years three to five.We also share practical sourcing tips for bare-root season, from native hedging bundles to fruit tree choices that handle late frosts. Throughout, the focus stays on function meeting beauty: a boundary that's tough enough for cattle on the other side, yet alive with blossom, birds, and harvests on yours. If you're ready to turn a fence line into a food line and a biodiversity corridor, this guide will get you planting with confidence.Enjoyed the show?

The U.S. government spends a ton of money, on everything from Medicare to roads to defense. In fact, it spends way more than it takes in. So…it borrows money, in the bond market. By selling U.S. Treasurys, basically IOUs with periodic interest payments. And for decades, people have loved to invest in Treasurys, for their safety and security. But lately, Treasurys have started to look riskier. In part because, in recent years, there's a new buyer at the table: hedge funds, those loosely-regulated financial companies that invest on behalf of institutions and wealthy clients. They have started doing a special trade called the “Treasury basis trade.” And, depending on who you talk to, this trade could destabilize our entire financial system. Or help the U.S. government borrow more money. Or both. On the latest episode: how and why are hedge funds getting into Treasurys? We follow how a Treasury travels from the nest into the hands of hedge funds. And we speak to someone from one of those hedge funds, about what they're doing and why.Pre-order the Planet Money book, and get a free gift / Subscribe to Planet Money+Listen free: Apple Podcasts, Spotify, the NPR app or anywhere you get podcasts.Facebook / Instagram / TikTok / Our weekly Newsletter.This episode was hosted by Mary Childs and Kenny Malone.

TV producer Jodi Tovay caught a standup comedy set in Scotland that took a dark and captivating turn. Interwoven with his earnest jokes, comedian Edd Hedges told the terrifying story of how a killer struck his neighborhood - then attempted to get into his house. Years later Tovay convinced Hedges to further explore the crime that continued to haunt him. And as she learned more about what happened that night in 2015, and Hedge's place in it, she wondered how much of the entertainer's story is based in truth.From Tenderfoot TV and iHeartPodcasts comes “Wisecrack.” Listeners hear Hedges tell his story of mirth and murder live on stage, before the pair dig deeper into the causes behind the violence his family escaped from. With its “Baby Reindeer” echos, the series explores unreliable memories, criminal behavior, and lingering trauma. OUR SPOILER-FREE REVIEWS OF "WISECRACK" BEGIN IN THE FINAL 13 MINUTES OF THE EPISODE.
