The High-Risk Sealing Expedition of the Nanina Eric J. Dolan Left for Dead: Shipwreck, Treachery, and Survival at the Edge of the World Sealing was a lucrative industry, particularly for the China market, valued for its high-quality fur seal pelts and elephant seal blubber. Charles Barnard, a veteran sealer, proposed a high-risk expedition on the brig Nanina to the Falkland Islands, which Murray and Son backed despite the impending War of 1812. Many merchant vessels remained in port, but Barnard and Murray viewed this as an opportunity to meet pent-up demand. Barnard's crew included four captains, notably diarist Barzillai Pease, and his 63-year-old, infirm father, Valentine Barnard, who was meant to captain the Nanina on its return voyage to New York laden with cargo. They departed from New York just as an embargo took effect. 1833 FALKLANDS

Jack Ablin attributes Monday's market rally to the jumping expectation of a rate cut in September after last week's disappointing jobs report. He says AI companies are currently contributing more to GDP than household spending. “We are going to see a weakening” of the economy, but Jack doesn't expect a recession: “We'll probably muddle through.” His stock picks right now include “high-quality” names like Chubb (CB), IBM (IBM), and Sysco (SYY).======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – https://twitter.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/schwab-network/About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about

Charles Schwab's Omar Aguilar reacts to the first read of 2Q GDP and analyzes the American economy. Looking at earnings, he expects profit margins to squeeze because of trade deals, driving volatility. Inflation expectations could drive bonds up, he warns as well. He previews the FOMC meeting and Fed Chair Powell's comments, saying economic data and a “stable” labor market mean no cut this month. He sees opportunities in high-quality corporate bonds and pushes investors away from riskier junk-rated bonds. “International investing is always a good opportunity,” Omar adds.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

"While I was unaware that, at the time, my real compensation for that job wasn't monetary. It was learning about, and getting comfortable with, rejection and, as I would later realize, indifference to rejection is a fundamental part of being an entrepreneur." - Sam ZellAuthor of The Blueprint, founder of Holmes Drafting Services and the Holmes Family Foundation, and the founder of ApeShot Media Nick Holmes is joining the program today and we have a lot to cover, so we're jumping right in. During today's discussion, Nick and Jay are digging into why contractors get a bad wrap even though an overwhelming majority of them are providing high-quality work, why people in the industry run into issues because of only dealing with one product or service, and how shifting your focus in hiring for the long-term instead of simply because someone checks off a few boxes is going to benefit your company for years to come. Having Nick on the show was a real pleasure and we're looking forward to hosting him again on The Culture Matters Podcast.
In Part 2 of this episode of the HVAC Know It All Podcast, host Gary McCreadie talks with Nick F. (Nick Fergis), co-founder and CEO of Property.com, a site that connects homeowners with top-rated contractors. They go over the free and paid membership tiers for contractors, tools like Max Closer and Max Qualifier, and how Property.com helps build trust and drive quality leads. Nick shares why he started the platform, how it supports real estate agents too, and why only the best contractors are allowed in, no room for poor service or shady lead generation. Nick Fergis talks about why Property.com only lists top-rated, vetted contractors to help homeowners avoid poor service. He explains their free and paid plans, where tools like Max Closer and Max Qualifier help contractors get leads and show their work. Nick also shares how real estate agents will soon use the platform to share trusted pros with new homeowners. Gary talks about how many lead services today feel random and low-quality. They agree that trust, clear info, and proven work matter most when choosing the right people for the job. Nick explains that Property.com helps homeowners find top local pros by listing only trusted and vetted contractors. He says the free plan gives you a site and certificate, but paid plans add tools like Max Closer to help close jobs and Max Qualifier to find better leads. Gary says the site feels like a real estate page, but for contractors, all in one spot. They both agree that many lead services are spammy, send bad leads, or don't know the trades. Property.com is built to fix that with tools and trust that help both sides. Expect to Learn: Why Property.com only lists top-rated, vetted contractors. How free and paid plans help pros get leads and build trust. What tools like Max Closer and Max Qualifier do for you. Why real estate agents will share their Rolodex with new owners. How this platform beat random lead services and bad results.
