Podcasts about hidden costs

Are you tired of holding it all together for everyone else? In this deeply personal episode, Dr. Alison explores the hidden ache of emotional caretaking—the quiet ways we overfunction, over-give, and overlook our own needs to keep the peace. Whether it started in childhood or has become a way of coping in adult relationships, many of us have learned to survive by tending to others while slowly disappearing ourselves. Alison shares what she's learning about her own inner caretaker and gently invites you to reconnect with the parts of you that are tired, weary, and worthy of care. This isn't about walking away from the people you love—it's about learning to stay grounded in yourself as you care well for others. This episode explores: Why emotional caretaking can feel like love—but quietly wears you down How childhood dynamics shape your adult urge to fix, help, or rescue What most people get wrong about “self-care” The hidden cost of always tending to others while neglecting yourself A gentle practice to reconnect with your inner caretaker—and what she needs This episode is a loving reminder: Your needs matter. Your soul deserves care. And you don't have to carry it all alone.

Every week, we hear another story: A major bank's mobile app crashes during peak hours with no vendor support in sight. A credit union's core system update goes sideways, leaving customers locked out for days. A regional bank discovers that their "24/7 support" actually means "leave a voicemail and we'll get back to you Tuesday." Here's the brutal truth most banking executives learn too late: You're not just buying a solution – you're buying a relationship that could either supercharge your institution or slowly strangle it. While your procurement team obsesses over features and price tags, the real question that will determine your success or failure is this: When everything goes wrong at 2 AM on a Friday, who's actually going to answer the phone? I'm joined on the Banking Transformed podcast by Jennifer Gibson, VP of Sales for Primax, who has a front-row seat to both sides of this equation. Jennifer is here to reveal the hidden warning signs that separate true partners from mere sales pitches, the questions banks should be asking but rarely do, and why the most expensive mistake you can make is choosing the cheapest vendor. This episode of Banking Transformed is sponsored by Primax Primax provides community banks with an expansive array of value-added services and customizable solutions to help profitably grow their portfolios and deliver an unparalleled experience to cardholders.

Send us a textBuying a home might be the American dream, but nobody warns you about the secret nightmares lurking beneath those picturesque front yards. In this eye-opening roundtable discussion, three seasoned homeowners pull back the curtain on what really happens after you get those keys.Our special guest host Fiddy welcomes Wendy, a Cleveland-based realtor with dual expertise as both a property professional and homeowner; Collin, whose 1964 house has taught him the true meaning of "fixer-upper"; and Andrea, who discovered the hard way that previous owners don't always disclose raccoon infestations in the ceiling. Their combined experiences offer a masterclass in homeownership reality.The conversation tackles the maintenance schedules nobody tells you about, with Wendy revealing how something as simple as changing furnace filters every two months can dramatically impact your home's efficiency and your health. The panel debates whether renting truly is easier than owning (it's closer than you might think), and shares war stories about the most challenging home projects they've faced—from kitchen renovations that make cooking impossible to landscaping projects that leave you fighting tree roots for days.Perhaps most valuable are the warnings for prospective buyers: Wendy's revelation about those beautiful front yard trees potentially destroying your sewer lines might save you $21,000 in repairs, while Collin's advice to immediately check basements and attics that aren't shown in listing photos could prevent catastrophic surprises. And Andrea's passionate plea to never skip home inspections, regardless of market pressure, resonates with anyone who's ever discovered an expensive problem post-purchase.Whether you're a current homeowner nodding along in painful recognition, a prospective buyer seeking insider knowledge, or someone content with renting who enjoys a bit of schadenfreude, this conversation delivers practical wisdom wrapped in enterSubscribe for exclusive content: https://www.buzzsprout.com/1530455/support Buzzsprout - Let's get your podcast launched!Start for FREEBuddy's Beard CareBuddy's Beard Care provides premium men's grooming products at an affordable price.Sweet Hands SportsElevate your game with Sweet Hands Sports!

We are releasing today a very interesting podcast show which is also breaking news. Before I read an article by Professor Charlotte Haendler of Southern Methodist University and Professor Rawley Z. Heimer of Arizona State University titled “The Hidden Costs of Financial Services: Consumer Complaints and Financial Restitution,” I never knew that the CFPB authorized outside third-parties access to non-public data collected about consumer complaints that it received so that those third-parties could conduct studies. Professors Haendler and Heimer used that data to determine the demographics of complainants who received the most restitution versus the demographics of those who received no or little restitution. The study they conducted is described in the abstract of the article which is available here on SSRN: Financial disputes are a widespread but understudied feature of consumer financial markets. Using confidential data from the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), we analyze nearly two million consumer complaints filed since 2014, which have led to an average payout of $1,470 per successful complaint. The volume of complaints and total restitution have increased substantially over time, suggesting significant scope for additional compensation. When understanding who secures restitution—and why—we find little evidence that differences across firms systematically drive restitution outcomes. Instead, product complexity and consumer engagement play key roles—consumers with higher income and education (high-SES) are more likely to explicitly request refunds, claim fraud, and submit supporting documentation, making firms more responsive. Leveraging previously unexamined CFPB monitoring reviews, where the agency systematically screens company responses and issues confidential reports highlighting deficiencies, we show that regulatory scrutiny increases restitution but disproportionately benefits high-SES consumers, reinforcing individual-specific mechanisms. Our results highlight the complementary nature of regulatory interventions and suggest that financial sophistication and self-advocacy are critical determinants of consumer redress. During the webinar, the Professors answered the following questions: 1.  Why did you conduct an in-depth CFPB consumer complaints study in the first place? 2.  Why did you basically use the CFPB complaint data as a proxy for consumer disputes in the entire industry? 3.  In your paper you mostly focus on the likelihood of a complaint resulting in financial restitution (i.e., some sort of monetary relief for the troubles endured). The title of your paper is “The hidden costs of financial services: consumer complaints and financial restitution”. First of all, what do you mean by hidden costs? 4.  Was the confidential data you received from the CFPB essential in better understanding the mechanisms behind the resolution of these consumer disputes? 5.  Did you find differences in complaint outcomes depending on the type of product involved? 6.  Is there a lot of variation across companies in the likelihood to award financial restitution to a complainant? 7.   Is the likelihood of a complainant receiving restitution more about the complexity of the product and potentially how the consumer relates to it than about there being some rogue companies? 8. Do certain consumer characteristics—like income, education, and even racial and ethnic background—correlate with greater likelihood of financial restitution. 9.   How do consumer characteristics end up influencing the likelihood of restitution? 10.  Does oversight from the CFPB change how firms handle disputes and award financial restitution? 11.  What should regulators, firms, and consumers take away from this research? This is how they answered that question: (a)  It is critical to recognize that the capabilities to navigate the dispute process aren't equal across consumers. (b)  For regulators, we see that scrutiny and nudging alone do not substitute for consumer engagement. Hence the challenge is to design systems that help level the playing field, perhaps by educating the consumer more, or by flagging poorly-articulated but potentially valid complaints for extra review and documentation. (c)  For companies, this study highlights the negotiating power of the consumer in disputes, and how this negotiating power hinges on self-advocacy and financial sophistication. It could also be a wakeup call to consider how certain demographics might be struggling to understand the financial product offered and how to cater to them to reach a greater customer base and higher levels of consumer satisfaction. (d)  For consumers, it's a reminder that being specific, using strong language, and submitting documentation really matters in getting your voice heard. Alan Kaplinsky, founder and former Chair and now Senior Counsel of the Consumer Financial Services Group hosted this podcast show.

Fitness Instructor Donna Dunne got in touch with the show about a harrowing holiday experience, and how travel insurance may not make up for it…She joins Andrea to explain, with Consumer Journalist Siobhan Maguire also joining to discuss.

A Note from James:When I first said that college was a scam, people thought I was joking—or worse. But I wasn't. If you're 18 and listening to this, don't go to college. And if you're a parent, don't send your kid without doing the math. College doesn't guarantee a better life anymore. In fact, it could cost you years of freedom, tens of thousands of dollars, and saddle you with debt you can't escape. In this episode, Doug Hill and I talk about why the traditional path of “get a degree, get a job, live happily ever after” no longer holds up.Episode Description:In this second installment of the Crazy Finance series, James Altucher and Doug Hill challenge another major financial assumption: that college is necessary for success. James argues that skyrocketing tuition, guaranteed student loans, and outdated curricula make college a bad financial decision for most people. Doug, who sent four kids to college, shares his own experience and ultimately agrees—except in a few key professions.From alternative education paths to trade school opportunities, this episode breaks down the economics and psychology behind one of the most expensive decisions families ever make.What You'll Learn:Why student loan debt is structurally predatory and practically inescapableHow government-backed loans have inflated tuition for decadesWhich professions still require college—and which don'tWhy trade schools and alternative education may offer better returnsHow personal development can happen outside the college systemTimestamped Chapters:[00:00] Don't Go to College (Seriously)[01:00] Why “Personal Finance” Advice Feels Generic[02:00] College as a Scam, Explained[03:00] When College Is Actually Worth It[04:00] Do Doctors Really Need 8 Years of School?[06:00] The Business Degree: What Did It Even Teach?[07:00] Entrepreneurship vs. Education[08:00] The Myth of Higher Earnings[09:00] Remedial Programming After Grad School[10:00] Why Tuition Keeps Rising[11:00] Government Guarantees = No Risk for Colleges[12:00] The Hidden Costs and Opportunity Costs[13:00] Who Actually Benefits From College?[14:00] Trade Schools and Skilled Labor[15:00] Electricians, Mechanics, and the Real ROI[16:00] Useless Courses, Forgotten Skills[17:00] Dropping Out and Getting Ahead[18:00] Sales Skills vs. College Classes[19:00] AI and the Future of Professional Work[20:00] Socialization: Real World vs. Campus[21:00] Google Certificates and Online Education[22:00] James Insults His Alma Mater (Again)[23:00] Who Really Wins in the College System?Additional Resources:James Altucher on Twitter: @jaltucherJames's article archive on college: Altucher Confidential – Why College is a ScamCoursera Professional Certificates (Google, Meta, etc.): coursera.orgKhan Academy (Free Education): khanacademy.orgU.S. Department of Education – College Scorecard: collegescorecard.ed.govTrade School Info & Averages: Trade-Schools.netFederal Reserve Report on Student Loans: federalreserve.govSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Send us a textThe rural exodus is real. As more families flee city living for country tranquility, they're encountering unfamiliar territory: well water and septic systems. This candid conversation tackles everything you need to know about the financial realities of rural utilities.We dive deep into the numbers that matter. That initial sticker shock of $5,000-$10,000 for well drilling and another $3,000-$12,000 for septic installation might seem daunting, but the long-term math tells a different story. Our personal experience reveals how our water bills dropped by half after moving to the country, while our property taxes plummeted from over $1,000 to just $460 annually for 43 acres. The financial advantage becomes clear with a break-even point averaging 10 years compared to ever-increasing city utility costs.Beyond dollars and cents, country living delivers freedom that city dwellers can only dream about. No municipal restrictions means you can raise chickens, practice target shooting on your property, or skip mowing without neighborhood complaints. However, responsibility shifts entirely to you—from occasional septic pumping to well maintenance when problems arise. We share real-world experiences pulling well pumps (a genuine workout!) and navigating rural infrastructure challenges, giving you the unfiltered truth about country living's pros and cons.

Fraudology is presented by Sardine. Get your tickets to Sardine[Con] and end the scamedmicIn this episode of Fraudology Karisse Hendrick dives deep into the latest developments surrounding Visa's Acquirer Monitoring Program (VAMP). As a seasoned e-commerce fraud fighter, Karisse breaks down the complex calculations and hidden implications of VAMP that every merchant, payment processor, and fraud analyst needs to understand. She reveals shocking new information about how TC40 fraud reports are being used in ways that may unfairly penalize merchants for fraud outside their control.Karisse explains how VAMP's risk threshold is calculated using both TC40 reports and chargebacks, potentially double-counting many fraud instances. She highlights how this incentivizes the use of costly fraud alerts while still leaving merchants vulnerable. Most alarmingly, Karisse shares insights from industry veteran Rick Clinch exposing how TC40 reports include fraud types like identity theft and account takeover that occur at the issuer level, yet still count against merchants in VAMP calculations. She questions the fairness of holding merchants accountable for fraud they have no visibility into or control over.The episode provides a masterclass in the intricate details of payment fraud monitoring, arming listeners with crucial knowledge as VAMP goes into effect. Karisse's passion for merchant advocacy shines through as she calls for more equitable fraud monitoring practices.

Ronald Stein is a professional engineer, energy literacy advocate, and the Pulitzer Prize-nominated co-author of Clean Energy Exploitations. With decades of experience designing and building refineries for major corporations like Bechtel and Fluor, Ron possesses a deep, nuanced understanding of the energy sector. Thirty years ago, he and his wife, June, founded PTS Advance, a staffing and workforce solutions firm specializing in complex industries like energy and life sciences. After successfully growing the company, they transitioned ownership to their two sons 15 years ago. Now, Ron dedicates his time to educating policymakers, business leaders, and the public, serving as a columnist for America Out Loud News and an advisor to the Heartland Institute on energy policy.SHOW SUMMARYIn this eye-opening episode of the Disruptive Successor Podcast, host Jonathan Goldhill sits down with Ronald Stein to challenge everything you think you know about energy. Ron explains the dangerous lack of "energy literacy" plaguing our leaders and policies. He draws a critical distinction: renewables like wind and solar only generate electricity, whereas fossil fuels are the foundation for the petrochemicals that create over 6,000 essential products, from iPhones and medical devices to the very components of EVs and solar panels. The conversation delves into the successful generational transition of Ron's family business, PTS Advance, and unpacks the severe economic and national security risks of misguided energy policies, revealing the hidden truths behind the global push for a "green" transition.KEY TAKEAWAYS Energy vs. Electricity: A Critical Misunderstanding: Ron clarifies that "energy" and "electricity" are not interchangeable. Wind and solar generate electricity, but they cannot create the physical products derived from the petrochemicals in fossil fuels that our modern world is built on.Everything is Made from Oil: Our materialistic society, including "green" technologies like EVs, wind turbines, and solar panels, is fundamentally dependent on the 6,000+ products derived from oil. Getting rid of oil means getting rid of the building blocks of modern life.A Family Business Success Story: Ron shares how he and his wife built PTS Advance from the ground up, successfully transitioned it to their sons, and strategically hired a non-family CEO, leading to massive growth and an eventual acquisition.The Perils of Poor Policy: California's push to eliminate in-state oil production has ironically made the state over 70% dependent on foreign oil imports, creating a significant national security risk and driving up costs for consumers.The Hidden Costs of EVs: Transitioning to electric vehicles eliminates the gas tax revenue that maintains roads, while the heavier weight of EVs causes more road damage, creating a future funding crisis.The Unethical Side of "Clean" Energy: Ron argues that mandating EVs financially incentivizes the exploitation of labor (including child labor) and environmental degradation in countries like China and in Africa, where the raw materials for batteries are mined.The Nuclear Resurgence: As a reliable, emissions-free, and continuous power source, nuclear energy is gaining worldwide momentum as a practical solution for our electricity needs, requiring far less land and materials than wind and solar.QUOTES "Wind and solar only generates electricity. They make no powers, no insulation, no asphalt, et cetera, et cetera. Whereas oil, all the products we have today didn't exist 200 years ago.""If you get rid of oil, you get rid of electricity, you get rid of EVs. The EV is a hundred percent made with oil.""Instead of being 5% dependent on foreign imports for crude oil, we're now more than 70% dependent... And that is a national security risk for America.""My passion is to stimulate conversations about energy literacy because most of our policy makers are misunderstanding the word energy.""I think it's unethical and immoral to provide those financial incentives for those countries to continue to [exploit people and the environment].""There's a worldwide movement toward nuclear 'cause we want affordable, reliable, continuous electricity, also emissions free electricity and nuclear is providing that."Connect and learn more about Ronald Stein and his work:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ronaldstein/Email: ronald.stein@energyliteracy.netBook: Clean Energy Exploitations on AmazonCompany: PTS Advance: https://www.linkedin.com/company/pts-advance/If you enjoyed today's episode, please subscribe, review, and share with a friend who would benefit from the message.

The single most expensive mistake in your dental career might not be a failed marketing campaign or a bad hire—it's likely hidden in the pages of the lease agreement you signed years ago. While most practice owners focus on the monthly rent, the real financial traps are buried in complex clauses that can dictate the future value and salability of your entire practice.In this critical episode of Dental Unscripted, hosts Michael Dinsio and Paula Quinn sit down with dental real estate specialist Dan Gleissner of Ally Healthcare Real Estate to expose the pitfalls that most dentists and even non-specialized agents miss. Before you sign or renew, you need to understand the long-term consequences of your lease.In this discussion, you will learn:The "Sale-Killer" Clause: About half of all first-draft leases contain severe "assignment" language that could prevent you from selling your practice. In rare cases, just requesting to sell can give the landlord the right to terminate your lease immediately.The Truth About Triple Nets (NNN): Your rent is not your total cost. We break down the three "nets"—property taxes, insurance, and Common Area Maintenance (CAMs)—and explain how these estimated expenses can lead to a surprise bill for thousands of dollars at the end of the year.The HVAC & Roof "Gotcha": Who pays for a $30,000 HVAC replacement? In many retail leases, the tenant is responsible for the full, immediate cost. Learn how to negotiate spreading these capital improvements over the lifespan of the asset.eThe Two-Year Rule: To maintain leverage with your landlord, you must start the renewal process at least two years before your lease expires. Waiting until the last minute puts you on the defensive.00:49 Topic Introduction: Dental Leases 01:20 Guest Introduction: Dan Gleissner 03:42 The Risk of Non-Specialized Agents 11:00 Exclusivity Clause Explained 18:04 The Importance of the Assignment Clause 26:18 What is a Triple Net (NNN) Lease? 34:56 "Gotchas": HVAC and Roof Replacements 40:44 The Lease Negotiation Process & TimelineVISIT NEXT LEVEL CONSULTANTS:Michael Dinsio is a longtime dental startup consultantVISIT https://nxlevelconsultants.com FOR MORE INFO on how to partner with him on your dental practice startup! VISIT Dental Unscripted's WEBSITE:https://www.dentalunscripted.com HERE you can SEE all the past and current EPISODES.

In this episode of the Membership Geeks Podcast, I dive deep into the topic of legacy pricing for membership businesses—a practice I've long advocated, but one that can pose major challenges as your membership grows and evolves. I discuss the benefits and pitfalls of letting members lock in their original pricing, explore when legacy pricing stops serving your business, and outline strategies for dealing with long-term members who are paying far less than new signups. If your membership has gone through significant changes over the years, this episode will help you navigate the often-tricky conversation around updating your pricing structure while staying fair to your most loyal members.In this episode:What is legacy pricing, and why has it traditionally been seen as a best practice for member retention and conversions?When does legacy pricing begin to work against you and your membership business, rather than for you?How can you fairly and effectively address the issue of long-term members paying outdated rates, especially when your offering has fundamentally changed?What are the practical options and communication strategies for transitioning legacy members to new pricing, and how can you do this while maintaining trust and goodwill?Key Quotes & Takeaways:"The fact that I would lose out on that legacy pricing, the fact that if I left and then came back in the future would mean I'd be paying a lot more. That can be enough of an incentive for me to not cancel, for me to leave my membership active for a month or two, even if I'm real busy, in order to hold on to that really advantageous, really attractive legacy pricing.""So instead of going from $20 a month to $80 a month, you maybe go $20 to $50 a month, and they're locked in at that rate. So you acknowledge their loyalty by giving them still a significant discount, but you also acknowledge the fact that the product has changed, and you're taking care of them essentially by saying, you know, what you're paying for now, this is a total different product.""You can take the original offer as a basic tier whereby what people get at that level more closely resembles what was originally offered at the time those members signed up."Thank You For ListeningWe really appreciate you choosing to listen to us and for supporting the podcast.
