Bartiromo warns of corporate overexposure to China but remains optimistic about the U.S. economy, rejecting recession fears if tax cuts are extended and deregulation continues.

Welcome back to Truth, Lies & Work, the award-winning psychology podcast from the HubSpot Podcast Network, hosted by Chartered Occupational Psychologist Leanne Elliott and business owner Al Elliott. This week, we're asking one big question: Is British work culture quietly killing innovation, clarity and leadership?

This week, in Episode 242, Jay Goltz and Lena McGuire talk about an expense a lot of business owners may not even realize they're paying. When former employees collect unemployment, they get a check from the government, but then their former employer gets docked. It can add up to real money, and that's likely to become a bigger issue if the economy deteriorates. Of course, as Jay and Lena discuss, one way to keep your unemployment insurance as low as possible is to do a better job hiring. Jay and Lena also talk about whether it ever makes sense to rehire someone you've had to fire. Plus: With Lena's clients and potential clients putting on the brakes, she's using this slow period as an opportunity to improve her systems. She's hoping to avoid a mistake she made last time when she built a business that she was unable to sell.

Why does it feel like no matter how hard you try, you're still stuck in survival mode? Why do you lash out at the people you love, then feel terrible about it afterward? Why does intimacy feel impossible—even though all you want is a deep connection? If you're asking yourself these questions, you're not alone. So many high-functioning women are silently battling the effects of trauma, often without even realizing it. From childhood abuse to emotionally neglectful parenting, these wounds leave lasting imprints on the nervous system. You might be smiling on the outside, doing all the things, but inside it feels like you're barely holding it together. Healing is absolutely possible. In this episode, Leslie explains how true transformation requires more than willpower—it takes action, conscious intention, and deep unconscious work. Through personal breakthrough sessions and NLP tools, she's helped countless women release old survival patterns and finally step into the freedom they crave. If you want to stop just surviving and start living, this conversation is your invitation. "If you wanna stop just surviving and finally start living, it's time to do something different. I'm talking about permanent change, not a bandaid, not a quick fix. Let me tell you the three things that are required to have that permanent change. Number one is you need to take action. Number two is you need to focus on what you want and know what you want. And number three is you must do unconscious work. This is the piece almost everyone misses. You have to go beneath the surface. You can't create a new life with an old survival blueprint. And this is the work I get to do with my clients every single day." - Leslie Thornton  What you will learn from this episode: 01:11 - Revealing how unresolved abuse—especially emotional can deeply affect self-worth, body image, and coping behaviors like overeating or overworking 04:30 - Comparing people with traumatic upbringings to rescue dogs, urging us to replace self-judgment with compassion 08:00 - Manifestations of a deeply buried trauma 11:17 - Explaining how unresolved trauma can create hidden survival patterns 14:48 - Showing how unresolved trauma silently damages health and relationships 18:05 -  Emphasizes that deep healing—not willpower or self-coaching—is what truly allows you to move from merely surviving to fully living 20:56 - Outlining the three keys to lasting change 23:04 - A powerful client story showing how deep fear and skepticism can be overcome through willingness, unconscious healing, and the right support to create real, lasting change 27:10 - Sharing heartfelt stories of transformation and encouraging to seek help, that you're not alone, healing is possible, and thriving is worth the risk Valuable Resources: Join my next LIVE masterclass Join the 8-week Fastrack to Food Freedom Program -Guaranteed mental and emotional freedom from food  Connect With Leslie Thornton: Book A Clarity Call Website Facebook LinkedIn Email: Leslie@hpwl.co If you enjoy the podcast, Would you please consider leaving a quick review on Apple Podcasts/iTunes in under 60 seconds?

Is our obsession with optimization killing innovation and leading us toward bland, predictable digital experiences? Join hosts Chuck Moxley and Nick Paladino as they explore whether we've hit "peak optimization" in digital experiences. Drawing from recent articles about how optimization is affecting everything from streaming platforms to sports, they question whether the relentless pursuit of metrics and KPIs is leading to mindless experiences that prioritize efficiency over extraordinary moments.They also dig into the darker side of personalization—how it's often not as personal as we think, frequently wrong, and built more for company KPIs than for actual human delight. From coin-flip gender predictions to missed upsell moments, Chuck and Nick unpack how personalization gone wrong can degrade trust and flatten digital experiences into one-size-fits-all monotony.Main Takeaways from this episode:Challenge optimization — start by considering what value your metrics actually deliver to customers versus what they deliver to your business.Create space for innovation — Adopt a "winners and learners" mindset where failed experiments provide valuable insights rather than just pursuing guaranteed wins.Don't pursue the lowest common denominator through optimization — you might be alienating passionate customer segments who would value unique, differentiated experiences.Want more tips and strategies to create frictionless user experiences?

Send us a textEvery company has a culture—whether you shape it or not.It can be intentional or accidental. It can fuel performance or quietly tear your business apart. And the difference between a thriving company and one stuck in survival mode? Often, it comes down to one thing: leadership.In this episode of The School of Hiring, I'm joined by Erik Pfannmöller, serial entrepreneur, former Canoe World Champion, and founder of The Culture Code Foundation. Erik has built and exited multiple high-growth companies and now helps organizations develop high-performance cultures that drive innovation, attract top talent, and create long-term, defensible success.We unpack the often invisible force that shapes businesses—company culture—and the role ego plays in either strengthening or sabotaging it.In this episode, we explore:Why culture is your ultimate competitive advantageHow ego silently kills team performance and decision-makingThe biggest myths leaders believe about company cultureWhat founders must let go of in order to scale successfullyWhether it's ever too late to fix a toxic cultureWhat business leaders can learn from elite-level sportWhether you're a founder building from scratch or a leader trying to fix what's broken, this episode is packed with insights on how to lead with humility, clarity, and purpose—and build a culture that lasts.

Today, let's explore the phrase 'happy wife, happy life' and its implications on relationships. We'll discuss the dangers of suppressing emotions, the cost of avoiding truth, and the importance of building true intimacy and honest partnerships. Real happiness in relationships comes from mutual respect, truth-telling, and emotional resilience rather than appeasement and avoidance of conflict. Key Takeaways: The phrase 'happy wife, happy life' promotes dishonesty and emotional withdrawal. Suppressing emotions leads to resentment and distance in relationships. Real partnership is built on mutual truth and respect, not just keeping one person happy. Avoiding conflict can create a false sense of peace that is unsustainable. Politeness can kill passion and intimacy in relationships. Codependency often disguises itself as love but is rooted in fear. True intimacy requires vulnerability and the ability to express needs without blame. Conflict is an opportunity for engagement, not something to avoid. Creating a culture of honest communication strengthens relationships. Reflecting on what conversations are being avoided can lead to deeper understanding.

In this episode, I talk about a recent experience with my daughter's friend's dad. Great guy, super chill. But every time we chat, it's all about his fish tank, motorcycles, and Jeep upgrades. And it got me thinking... is he really passionate about all that—or just trying to fill a void?I've been there myself. Trying to find meaning in things instead of purpose. So in this episode, I get real about what it means to live with purpose—and how so many of us, especially guys, fall into the trap of chasing “stuff” when what we really need is direction.I share my thoughts on how to shift that—starting with how we spend our time, how we treat our health, our relationships, and the kind of legacy we want to leave behind.If you've ever felt like something's missing—or wondered if you're really living with intention—this one's worth a listen.Let's talk about how to find real purpose in a world full of distractions.https://creators.spotify.com/pod/show/zach-schuenke/episodes/The-Hidden-Cost-of-Not-Having-Purpose-e2qomo3

Too often in support, more time is spent diagnosing an issue than resolving it – and that's a problem. In this episode, Maxime Manseau, VP of Support at Birdie, joins Intercom's Senior Director of Human Support Bobby Stapleton to explore the hidden costs of misdiagnosis in customer support: longer resolution times, frustrated customers, and burned-out agents. They discuss how improving issue understanding upfront – through better workflows, AI-powered tools, and even screen recordings – can dramatically reduce back-and-forth and create a smoother customer experience. Plus, they explore why human support still matters in an AI-first world, and how that directly impacts your customers.Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/vxxH1Ulw7FA?si=oz1GqLaByFbq_TrKFollow the people:https://www.linkedin.com/in/maximemanseau/https://www.linkedin.com/in/bobbystapleton/Newsletters:Sign up for The Ticket: A twice-monthly newsletter bursting with all the insights, trends, tips, and assets your team needs to embrace the future of customer service. https://www.intercom.com/blog/newsletterSign up for Intercom on Product: a monthly newsletter sharing our latest thinking on building and designing great products, and how that's changing in the age of AI.https://inter.com/productpodcastFollow The Ticket podcast:Apple Podcasts https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-ticket-discover-the-future-of/id996103731Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6zlcXgcd2kX9E4cbQTCsR9YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLlCIldMZCaFrn43ZNAiw00icA-nRW5wVFRSS Feed https://art19.com/shows/inside-intercomSay hi:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/intercom/X: https://x.com/intercomGet a free trial of Fin, our breakthrough AI chatbot, here: https://www.intercom.com/finwww.intercom.comSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Her groundbreaking work has been featured in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and The LA Times, shedding light on the hidden costs of compliance and the power of strategic defiance. Before becoming an organizational psychologist, Sunita was a medical doctor, an experience that shaped her insights into authority, trust, and professional ethics. Her new book, Defy: The Power of No in a World that Demands Yes, offers a practical roadmap for standing up against social pressures while staying true to one's values. A sought-after speaker and thought leader, Sunita is passionate about empowering individuals to make better decisions and challenge the status quo with confidence.In this episode, Dr. Sunita Sah provides expert insight into the psychological and social dynamics of defiance and compliance. She explains that people often feel a deep internal tension when confronted with situations that contradict their values but struggle to act due to societal conditioning, fear of consequences, or reluctance to challenge authority. Sunita shares personal stories about growing up in a strict Indian household, her journey from medical doctor to organizational psychologist, and how her fascination with compliance and influence led her to research this topic. She introduces key concepts from her book, including the "Defiance Compass," a framework for determining when and how to defy, and emphasizes that defiance is a skill that can be learned and practiced over time. She also reassures Ami about her difficult parenting moment, highlighting the importance of assessing safety before acting. Sunita's research underscores the hidden costs of compliance and how individuals can reclaim their agency by standing up for their values in meaningful ways. A South Asian Perspective: The Cultural Battle with Defiance: Ami and Sunita bond over their shared South Asian backgrounds, discussing how immigrant upbringings shaped their views on obedience, compliance, and the challenge of saying no. (03:31)The Power of a Name: Why Sunita Kept Hers: Sunita shares the story of why she didn't change her last name after marriage, despite social pressure, and how this small act of defiance can have larger implications. (04:53)The Parenting Dilemma: When Should You Defy?: Ami recounts a powerful personal story about an aggressive stranger confronting her daughter at a movie theater. Sunita walks her through the "Defiance Compass" framework to evaluate whether speaking up would have been the right choice. (18:03)Why We Comply—Even When We Shouldn't: Sunita breaks down the five psychological stages of defiance, explaining why we often freeze in the moment and default to compliance (28:02)The Hidden Cost of Saying Yes: Ami shares her struggle with ulcerative colitis and how years of suppressing her voice may have contributed to her chronic stress and health issues. Sunita discusses how unchecked compliance can take a physical toll. (34:42)Why Women (Especially) Struggle to Say No: Sunita introduces the concept of “insinuation anxiety”—the fear of making someone feel bad by rejecting their request—and why women often feel this pressure more acutely than men. (40:08)How to Build the Skill of Defiance: Sunita explains why defiance isn't just a personality trait but a learned skill, offering actionable advice on how to practice saying no in small, everyday moments. (49:05)Success, Oprah, and The Cure: In a lighthearted closing, Sunita shares her definition of success, her dream collaboration (hint: Oprah!), and her love for The Cure—tying back to the importance of being true to oneself.

The most expensive thing at your self storage facility isn't your property, payroll, or marketing—it's your empty units. Every vacant unit is lost recurring revenue, yet many storage owners don't realize how much money they're leaving on the table. For example:

The parable of the talents illustrates the importance of stewarding God's gifts wisely. When a master entrusts three servants with different amounts of wealth, two invest and double their portions while one buries his share out of fear. The faithful servants act immediately, take calculated risks, and receive greater responsibilities and joy. Their success stems from trusting the master's character and actively pursuing growth. This teaching challenges us to recognize our God-given resources and abilities, take Spirit-led risks, and invest in eternal returns rather than playing it safe.

Is Cash Really Safe in a Recession? The Case for Multifamily Investing With growing concerns about a potential recession, many investors are wondering how to protect their capital. Is cash really the safest option, or is there a better way to hedge against inflation and economic uncertainty? In this episode, we break down why multifamily real estate stands out as a resilient investment in turbulent times. Key Takeaways: - Why Demand for Rentals Rises in a Recession – Economic downturns often push more people toward renting, increasing demand for multifamily housing. - The Hidden Cost of Holding Cash – Inflation erodes purchasing power over time, meaning your money in the bank is losing value. - How Multifamily Investments Create Stability – Through cash flow, appreciation, and tax advantages, multifamily real estate helps investors grow their wealth even during economic downturns. - Real-World Wealth Comparison – A $100,000 investment in multifamily real estate could potentially grow to $125,000 in three years, while cash could lose value down to $85,000 in the same timeframe. - Why the Wealthy Continue to Invest in Real Estate – High-net-worth individuals consistently turn to real estate because of its ability to generate returns across market cycles. If you're looking for strategies to protect and grow your capital in uncertain times, this episode offers valuable insights into why multifamily real estate is a strong alternative to keeping cash on the sidelines.

Why do we chase success and still feel empty when we get it? Why does the high from accomplishment fade so quickly, leaving us feeling even more inadequate?

Wellness + Wisdom | Episode 720 Could ignoring your emotions be the hidden barrier keeping you stuck and disconnected from your true potential? Rick William, Emotional Intelligence Coach, joins Josh Trent on the Wellness + Wisdom Podcast, episode 720, to unpack why most of us were never taught how to process our feelings and how this unconscious avoidance can fuel anger and shape our relationships, and how intentionally facing your vulnerabilities, setting up internal boundaries, and curating simple daily practices can open the door to your most authentic self. "If we don't have the capacity to feel a sense of love and connection to ourselves and to one another, that's the neurochemistry of suffering. And that neurochemistry of suffering is what leads us to reach and grab for whatever it might be to. Whether it's too much food or too much sex." - Rick William
