What if the key to healing trauma isn't in the story you tell, but in the sensations you feel?Dr. Brian Tierney talks with Robert Weiss, PhD—a retired psychologist with 52 years of clinical experience and the developer of Mindfulness-Based Somatic Emotional Processing (MBSEP). Born in Lima to German Jewish Holocaust survivors, Weiss shares how his own early trauma shaped a career that evolved from behavioral training into Ericksonian hypnosis, EMDR, brainspotting, and finally MBSEP. He explains why mindful attention to bodily sensations often heals more deeply than narrative or meaning-making, and how breath, resourcing, and therapeutic relationship can address dysregulation and fragmentation. Through powerful case examples—intergenerational grief, workplace anger, childbirth loss, and even his own Parkinson's diagnosis—Weisz illuminates what it truly means to move into fear and transform through the body.Highlights:- How early trauma as a child of Holocaust survivors shaped Weiss's clinical path- Why MBSEP focuses on sensation over storyUsing breath and "scene work" for regulation and resourcing- How Ericksonian hypnosis built the foundation for relational safety- Intergenerational trauma and the therapeutic use of numinous imagery- Working with anger, shame, guilt, and mixed emotions- Moving into fear as a practice—including Weiss's own journey with Parkinson's- Ayahuasca, love as transformation, and the limits of "McMindfulness"Guest: Robert Weiss, PhD https://mbsep.com/about/robert-weisz-phd/https://www.simonandschuster.com/authors/Robert-Weisz/248111300Host: Dr. Brian Tierney www.somaticdoctor.comWe want to hear from YOU:What resonated most with you—the intergenerational case example, working with anger, or Weiss's perspective on moving into fear with Parkinson's?

What can your first experiences with alcohol tell you about the relationship you'll have with it later in life? Are we fighting with our own biology when it comes to alcohol? Why is moderation impossible for some people? In this episode of the Unreserved Wine Talk podcast, I'm chatting with Dr. Charles Knowles, author of Why We Drink Too Much: The New Science of Alcohol. You can find the wines we discussed at https://www.nataliemaclean.com/winepicks.   Giveaway Three of you are going to win a copy of Charles Knowles' new book, Why We Drink Too Much: The New Science of Alcohol. To qualify, all you have to do is email me at natalie@nataliemaclean.com and let me know that you've posted a review of the podcast. I'll choose three people randomly from those who contact me. Good luck!   Highlights How did Charles' initial attempt at a memoir expand to explore the science behind why we drink alcohol? Why did Charles feel it was essential to present alcohol research without oversimplifying? Why does he reject both anti-alcohol evangelism? What can early experiences with alcohol reveal about future risk of developing a problematic relationship with it? How does alcohol act as a social lubricant for some people? What's the connection between human evolution and alcohol as the world's oldest and most widely used drug? What was alcohol's role in early human societies? What distinguishes alcohol dependence from gray area drinking? Which aspects of drinking increase the risk of developing a problematic relationship with alcohol? Why does the brain's reward system prioritize alcohol over other needs? What is the default mode network, and why does alcohol's ability to quiet repetitive negative thinking make it so reinforcing?   About Charles Knowles Charles Knowles is Professor of Surgery at Queen Mary University of London and a colorectal surgeon. He is author of the book "Why We Drink Too Much: The New Science of Alcohol" which was published by Macmillan in the UK, Commonwealth, US and Canada in January 2026.

Ann Ensenbach is back for her second appearance to share what's happened since moving Apex Group to the Carolinas. The company now has multiple locations and three divisions - manufacturing machining, research and development, and military armor products. What started as one smaller location turned into acquiring a company that was going out of business due to tariff impacts and dependency on outsourced products. Their loss became Apex's gain, allowing them to continue jobs and bring more opportunities to the area. Ann's focus is mass manufacturing with minimum runs of 5,000 units proving that high-volume production doesn't have to be outsourced. Five percent of everything Apex makes goes into a foundation supporting tiny homes for foster kids and scholarships for veteran groups. We talk about culture transformation when acquiring talent, why recognition tied to money works better than public praise, how tribal knowledge and assumptions slowly kill industries, and why leaders need to understand that people who don't feel cared for won't care about company goals.Highlights:How acquiring a workforce from a company going out of business requires clear communication about values and putting the right people in the right places.Why recognition programs that focus on cash bonuses and financial incentives work better than public acknowledgment.The biggest slow killer in industry lack of adaptability and tribal knowledge that assumes things can't change from how they've always been done.How mass manufacturing with runs of 5,000+ units can be done in America despite assumptions it must be outsourced.Why giving employees retirement contributions automatically regardless of 401k participation creates opportunities younger workers can't afford on their own.Make sure to subscribe to Blue Collar BS where we talk about the real gaps between generations in blue collar work and what it takes to lead across different age groups in today's trades.

429 Lynn Harris - Comedy, Creativity, and Community   In today's episode Sarah Elkins and Lynn Harris discuss the importance of comedy and creativity in the heart and soul of a community and how overcoming the doubts and assumptions of others can not only strengthen yourself but as well as the people around you.    Highlights How we defy the expectations and assumptions of others. If we can't talk about a problem we can't even begin to fix it. The power of community and contributing to it and encouraging others to contribute.    Quotes "As with all industries and all context; Girls would have to work twice as hard to get half the applause and half the credit." "That's something we've learned about community, is that it's not just us. It's -especially a creative community of any kind- there's skill building you can kind of do on your own, and some cases not all, but then what do you do with those skills? Making stuff in other words. So we really encourage our members to actually make things and actually do the thing and do the thing together."     Dear Listeners it is now your turn, What I love about this conversation is that accessibility to humor, and we all need this probably now more than ever in our lifetime. We need to find humor, we need to laugh together, and it is one thing that can connect us very similar to music and story. And I can tell you that in just a recent experience where I was talking to somebody on the opposite side of the political spectrum to me, I was reading a book by John Scalzi; When The Moon Hits Your Eye, and I asked him if I could read out loud that had made me laugh so hard I was almost crying, and it was one way that I connected with this person next to me. So I'm asking you listeners, what will you do to find humor today?         And, as always, thank you for listening.    About Lynn Lynn Harris is a culture-shifting producer, award-winning journalist, and author/co-author of six books.

Daryl connects manufacturing, education, and workforce development helping companies across Ontario, Canada prepare for the future of skilled trades. Working for over 25 years as a tool and die maker showed him that most people have no idea this career exists or where it fits into the economy and trades overall. That invisibility is why nobody enters these fields. A third of Ontario's skilled trades workers are over 55 and heading toward retirement in the next decade, and this pattern is likely playing out across the globe. Companies aren't preparing to transfer decades of knowledge to the next generation before it disappears. We talk about how technology like virtual reality and AI-powered training apps make learning more engaging while preserving what veterans know. The industry keeps fighting over the same small talent pool instead of expanding it by showing up in schools early. Young people can't choose careers in trades they don't know exist.Highlights:How new training technology makes learning skilled trades more engaging for younger generations.Why companies need better systems to capture and preserve knowledge before experienced workers retire.The talent shortage is a math problem expanding the pool matters more than competing for the same people.What shifts when companies move from informal apprenticeships to structured training approaches.Visibility drives interest young people need to know trades exist before they can choose them as careers.Subscribe to Blue Collar BS where we talk about the real gaps between generations in blue collar work and what it takes to lead across different age groups in today's trades.

In this episode, Brian Carney, lead portfolio manager of the Mawer Global Credit Opportunities Strategy, examines a fixed income backdrop reshaped by geopolitical escalation, an energy shock, and sharply changing interest-rate expectations. He explains why higher benchmark yields and modestly wider spreads still leave many parts of credit looking expensive, where Mawer is finding more selective value through bottom-up research, and why the strategy remains tilted toward shorter-duration, higher-quality credit. The conversation also explores AI-related bond issuance from hyperscalers, signs of strain in leveraged finance and private credit, and what a more fragile lending environment could mean for investors. Highlights: How geopolitical escalation and higher oil prices have pushed inflation concerns back to the forefront and reshaped rate expectations in major markets. Why higher benchmark yields have not been enough to make much of longer-duration or lower-quality credit compelling today. A look at two selective opportunities: CoreWeave, tied to AI infrastructure, and a fallen angel with potential catalysts and downside protection. How AI is being used inside Mawer's research process to sort through a vast global credit universe and surface new ideas. Why massive borrowing by hyperscalers to fund AI CapEx could pressure investment-grade spreads over the next 12 to 18 months. Early signs of stress in leveraged loans and private credit, and why Brian sees growing evidence of "decay" in parts of the lending market.

Ever feel like you have to choose between being wealthy and being happy? In this episode, I break down a conversation I witnessed at the gym that perfectly shows how limiting money beliefs get passed from person to person, and how quickly they can shape your future without you realizing it. I explain why statements like "all rich people are miserable" are a massive red flag, and how your brain will latch onto whatever evidence supports the story you've been told. Tune in to learn how to filter advice, stop adopting other people's limitations, and intentionally seek proof that wealth and happiness can coexist.    HIGHLIGHTS How limiting beliefs about money spread in everyday conversations. How to filter advice before it shapes your mindset. What to look for in mentors who model both wealth and fulfillment. Why wealthy people aren't the loudest voices.

Western Philosophy on Drugs: Consciousness, Dreams, and Reality In this episode of The Psychedelic Podcast, Paul F. Austin speaks with Dr. Justin Smith-Ruiu about how psychedelic experiences challenge long-standing assumptions about consciousness, perception, and reality. Find full show notes and links here: https://thethirdwave.co/podcast/episode-351/?ref=278  Justin explains how Western philosophy has historically privileged rational, sober, and waking states of mind, often dismissing dreams and altered states as unreliable. He explores how psychedelic experiences push against these assumptions, raising deeper questions about knowledge, language, and what counts as real. The conversation also examines the tension between therapeutic and existential uses of psychedelics, and how medicalization may shape the cultural role these substances play moving forward. Justin Smith-Ruiu is a professor of history and philosophy of science at the Université Paris Cité and author of On Drugs: Psychedelics, Philosophy, and the Nature of Reality. His work explores intellectual history, consciousness, and the limits of rational thought, and he writes regularly for Harper's, WIRED, and The New York Times. Highlights: How philosophy excludes altered states Why dreams are dismissed as unreliable Psychedelics and limits of rationality Language and ineffability of experience Therapeutic vs existential frameworks Medicalization and cultural impact Philosophy beyond sober cognition Episode Links: Justin Smith-Ruiu's website Episode Sponsors: The Microdosing Practitioner Certification at Psychedelic Coaching Institute.

In this episode of To The Root, Robyn Spangler explores the often-overlooked connection between thyroid health, metabolic function, and chronic skin conditions. While conventional research rarely draws a direct line between thyroid disorders and symptoms like acne or eczema, Robyn breaks down why the relationship is far more significant than it may appear on paper.She explains how thyroid hormones regulate essential processes that directly influence skin health—such as cellular turnover, blood flow, oil production, digestion, nutrient absorption, and immune function. Robyn also clarifies why standard thyroid labs may miss key patterns, especially when the issue lies not in hormone production, but in hormone conversion or cellular utilization.You will gain insight into how metabolic slowdowns can contribute to hormonal imbalances, digestive dysfunction, reduced detox capacity, nutrient deficiencies, and immune hyperreactivity—all of which play major roles in chronic skin symptoms. Robyn also provides guidance on how to properly assess metabolic health using labs, body temperatures, mineral testing, and symptom patterns.This episode offers a clear, actionable framework for anyone seeking to understand whether underlying metabolic or thyroid dysfunction may be standing in the way of long-term skin healing.If you're ready to understand the deeper drivers behind your skin symptoms, explore Robyn's free two-part training on metabolic, digestive, and hormonal foundations for skin healing at theclearskinlab.com/freecourse. Highlights:How thyroid hormones influence skin turnover, barrier function, oil production, and inflammationThe difference between glandular dysfunction, conversion issues, immune-related thyroid disorders, and cellular utilization problemsWhy conventional thyroid markers may not capture the full picture of metabolic healthHow sluggish metabolic function contributes to hormonal imbalance, impaired digestion, and nutrient deficienciesThe connection between metabolic health, gut dysbiosis, and increased risk of intestinal permeabilityKey nutrients impacted by poor digestion and how they affect skin repairWhy addressing metabolic health is foundational—before gut protocols, hormone supplements, or detox strategiesObjective ways to assess metabolic function, including full thyroid panels, body temperature tracking, and mineral analysisAn overview of how personalized nutrition, lifestyle adjustments, and mineral support can help restore metabolic balanceConnect with Robyn:Instagram: @nutritionbyrobyn Website: https://www.theclearskinlab.com

422 Experience Awe   The natural world is one of few places in the world where we can truly feel at peace. Whether it be to get away from the hustle and bustle of life, or even just to get away from all the screens and pollution, we can find a moment to center ourselves and find genuine awe in the world.  In today's episode Sarah Elkins and Thomas Reed discuss the importance of the natural world, finding awe, how we talk to ourselves, as well as finding our own courage to seek the paths that call to us.   Highlights How we interact with the natural world around us. The importance of positive Self Talk.  Beauty of the natural world and its importance to the human psyche.  Where is the one place you can go to that turns off the chatter in your head?   Quotes "I don't know if it was a choice or it was just being me." "Use me as your inspiration, that you don't need inspiration."   Dear Listeners it is now your turn, What will you do to experience awe? I am going to give you one chore, one piece of homework, one suggestion at the end of this episode, is to find an opportunity to experience awe. That could be watching your child do something for the first time, and have them be very proud of themselves. I can tell you I had many of those experiences while my boys were growing up and they had a realization as basic as finding their own thumb when they were infants. There's a sense of awe when you watch other people experience awe or when you experience that sense of awe about another person, like this Chinese woman from a small village that decided to go experience what she did. Experience Awe, go hug a tree, go stand in front of a man made bridge that is inspiring for its unlikeliness, for the fact that somebody had to create that, watch that daffodil start to bloom and realize you didn't have to do a thing to it to make it show up in all it's full color.  Find awe, remember it, and consider that desire to find awe, your connection to the natural world and your humanity.         And, as always, thank you for listening.    About Thomas I studied photography at Rutgers University as a Geography student. Major influences have been Ansel Adams, Edgar Payne, and the Hudson River School. Zen sensibilities profoundly influence my compositions, as I am a student of Japanese martial arts and aesthetics (chado). Black and white is my genre My work is centered on the experience of awe at the sight of a landscape, and I hope it leads to the consideration that nature itself is divine, sacred, and that stewardship, as opposed to the dominant utilitarian view, is the only sane attitude.

In my work with coaching clients, I guide people to improve their communication using storytelling as the foundation of our work together. What I've realized over years of coaching and podcasting is that the majority of people don't realize the impact of the stories they share - on their internal messages, and on the people they're sharing them with. My work with leaders and people who aspire to be leaders follows a similar path to the interviews on my podcast, uncovering pivotal moments in their lives and learning how to share them to connect more authentically with others, to make their presentations and speaking more engaging, to reveal patterns that have kept them stuck or moved them forward, and to improve their relationships at work and at home. The audiobook, Your Stories Don't Define You, How You Tell Them Will is now available! Included with your purchase are two bonus tracks, songs recorded by Sarah's band, Spare Change, in her living room in Montana. Be sure to check out the Storytelling For Professionals Course as well to make sure you nail that next interview!

Brad's father recently passed away, inspiring us to take time to honor the everyday heroes who show up without seeking recognition the people who teach us the most important lessons without even realizing they're doing it.Brad shares memories of his father who worked as a Teamsters driver and never missed a day of work, taught discipline without lectures, and showed integrity by owning mistakes when his job was at risk.The lessons came through presence rather than instruction being available when needed even if lengthy conversations weren't his style, showing up consistently for 45 years regardless of how he felt, and demonstrating values through actions instead of words.We explore how the most powerful teaching happens through observation rather than explanation, why consistency builds the credibility that matters when mistakes happen, and how being present counts more than being perfect.Highlights:How daily consistency builds the kind of credibility that carries you through mistakes and tough times.Why the most important lessons get taught through actions and presence rather than lectures or explanations.What integrity looks like when you have to own up to decisions that put everything at risk.The difference between being available and being perfect why showing up matters more than having all the answers.How learning to observe patterns and connect dots comes from watching people who lead through example.Please subscribe to Blue Collar BS where we talk about the real gaps between generations in blue collar work and what it takes to lead across different age groups in today's trades.

In this episode I sit down with renowned holistic facialist and dermal therapist April Brodie, fresh from her deep plane facelift in Seoul, to talk about what really sits behind the global obsession with K Beauty. We compare our recent trips to South Korea, from elite multi level clinics with corridors full of devices, to the chaos and delight of Olive Young and the clinical world of Korea Derma and regenerative medicine. April shares the story behind her signature Korean inspired facial, why technique can rival technology, and what she learnt from her own surgical journey. We talk Rejuran and salmon DNA biostimulation, the difference between PDRN in skincare and injectable DOT technology, why “glass skin” is a fantasy, and the categories that Koreans are quietly leading in, from scalp care to intimate care, sun care and beauty tools. There is also a healthy dose of reality about consent, safety, cultural expectations and what Australian women need to consider before chasing Korean level transformation. This is a candid, nuanced and very practical conversation about K Beauty, ageing, and how to edit all that innovation into a routine and treatment path that actually serves your skin. Highlights How a single buccal facial in London turned April from laser heavy protocols to hands on sculpting techniques. The story behind her Korean influenced facial that uses bone therapy principles, Eastern European methods and Korean cleansing rituals. What we both observed inside ultra elite Korean clinics, from the sheer number of devices to the culture of sedation and intensive treatment stacking. The difference between Rejuran’s salmon DNA DOT technology and PDRN in topical skincare, and why that distinction matters. How to shop K Beauty in Olive Young without destroying your barrier or being distracted by trends. The categories where Korea is genuinely ahead, including sunscreens, scalp care, breath care, intimate care and tools. Why “glass skin” is a Western marketing idea, not a Korean standard, and how chasing it can damage both barrier and self esteem. A realistic, edited K Beauty inspired routine for busy women who want results without a ten step ritual.

In this episode of To The Root, Robyn Spangler offers an in-depth exploration of melasma as a complex, internally driven skin condition—not simply a cosmetic concern or a consequence of sun exposure.Robyn breaks down the interconnected roles of estrogen signaling, iron metabolism, antioxidant status, and light exposure in driving melanin overproduction. She explains how hormonal shifts, impaired iron recycling, nutrient imbalances, and a disrupted circadian environment can create a biological environment that fuels hyperpigmentation, and why addressing melasma requires more than topical management.You will gain insight into the importance of comprehensive assessment, realistic timelines for improvement, and targeted interventions that address root causes rather than short-term symptoms. Robyn emphasizes that sustainable change is achieved by supporting physiological pathways—not by restrictive diets or aggressive skin treatments.This episode provides a clear, evidence-informed framework for understanding melasma from a functional and integrative perspective, and highlights why internal investigation is essential to long-term results.Listen now!Get root cause answers with data - check out our Acne Labs Panel!Highlights:How estrogen receptors on melanocytes influence pigment production, especially during pregnancy, perimenopause, or hormonal therapyWhy “anemia” may mask impaired iron recycling and how excess unbound iron contributes to oxidative stress and pigmentationThe role of vitamin E and antioxidant status in supporting cell membrane stability, skin resilience, and hormone metabolismExpected timelines for meaningful change in melasma and why long-term strategy is essential for successThe impact of artificial blue light, disrupted circadian rhythms, and strategic natural light exposure on pigment regulationWhy melasma is rarely diet-driven and does not typically require restrictive nutrition protocolsThe value of comprehensive testing to evaluate hormone metabolism, iron status, nutrient sufficiency, and detoxification capacityConnect with Robyn:Instagram: @nutritionbyrobyn Website: https://www.theclearskinlab.comFree Course: https://www.theclearskinlab.com/opt-in/freecourse 

Nush knew by sophomore year that traditional college wasn't her path. Automotive classes in high school led to NASCAR Technical Institute, then CNC machining when motorsport jobs required connections she didn't have. Now she's built Sisterhood of Trades, a Discord community of 850 women worldwide supporting each other across different trades. We explore why women still face basic safety issues like inaccessible restrooms and unlit parking lots that employers ignore while claiming to support women. Nush shares the harsh reality where reporting harassment leads to punishment instead of accountability, how LinkedIn networking creates more opportunities than degrees, and the vision to fund scholarships providing toolboxes for women entering trades so they don't start behind like she did.Highlights:How a worldwide Discord community of 850 women proves there's massive demand for peer support across trades.Why employers claiming to support women while ignoring accessible restrooms, lactating rooms, lit parking lots, and safe building access is empty lip service.The accountability gap where women reporting harassment about their bodies face punishment while leadership protects the men creating hostile environments.How university paths aren't the only option and successful fulfilling careers exist without the debt.The scholarship vision to provide toolboxes and resources so women don't start trades careers at a disadvantage.Subscribe to Blue Collar BS where we talk about the real gaps between generations in blue collar work and what it takes to lead across different age groups in today's trades.Get in touch with Nush: InstagramLinkedInSisterhood of TradesGet in touch with us:Check out the Blue Collar BS website.Steve Doyle:WebsiteLinkedInEmailBrad Herda:WebsiteLinkedInEmailThis podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Podtrac - https://analytics.podtrac.com/privacy-policy-gdrpOP3 - https://op3.dev/privacy

Why is spitting essential if you want to taste wine seriously? What made Hong Kong's wine boom in 2010 feel both extravagant and generous? Does formal wine tasting language strip the emotion out of wine writing? In this episode of the Unreserved Wine Talk podcast, I'm chatting with Sarah Heller. You can find the wines we discussed at https://www.nataliemaclean.com/winepicks.   Highlights How did Sarah's wine career almost end before it began? Why did her accident in southern France strengthen her commitment to the wine industry? What was it like to represent a restaurant alone at age 20 at the world's largest wine trade fair? How did an early lesson about spitting wine become a memorable introduction to professional wine culture? What's the difference between wine marketing and wine education? What made Hong Kong's wine scene during the 2010s feel both extravagant and unusually generous? How did Burgundy tastings in Hong Kong highlight the intersection of rarity, money, and shared passion? How did Sarah's fine art training at Yale shape the way she thinks about wine? What inspired her to move beyond traditional tasting notes to creating visual tasting notes? Why does Sarah believe conventional wine descriptors can feel sterile? How do shape, color, mood, and texture form the foundation of her visual tasting method? How does the shape of a wine differ between a plush Australian Shiraz and a structured Barolo?   Key Takeaways Why is spitting essential if you want to taste wine seriously? Sarah: You're really meant to spit when you try wines. There was a little bit of a macho culture around it, like, oh no, real, real, real people don't spit. And I was like, I don't know, that doesn't seem very smart. But, there I was. And so by the end of the day, the people who had been assigned to take me under their wing were decanting me into a taxi. I made it safely home, thank goodness. What made Hong Kong's wine boom in 2010 feel both extravagant and generous? Sarah: Something about Hong Kong that I think distinguishes it, certainly from the UK collector scene, which was sort of my reference point to a certain degree, is that people open their bottles. I mean, some people have generational collections, but most people this was the collection they started. They can remember starting it and they want to share it with people. Obviously showing off is part of it, there's no denying that. But there's also an incredible spirit of generosity in wanting to share these incredible treasures that you have in your cellar with everybody around you, with the people that you care about. Does formal wine tasting language strip the emotion out of wine writing? Sarah: After having finished the Master of Wine, which is very, very much a bounded problem. You have to accept that this is the way that things are done. It's very directed and clear, which I think is useful if you're trying to create a standardized certification. But having got out on the other side of that and broken my writing style down so that it was as objective as possible and as simple and direct as possible, I was just a bit done with it. I don't want to talk about red versus black fruit. It had become sort of sterile at that point for me. It's not that I don't think people should study that, but it was just the phase that I was in, and I wanted to figure out what my voice was going to be.   About Sarah Heller Sarah Heller MW is an internationally acclaimed wine expert and visual artist whose work explores the cultural history and multi-sensory experience of wine. She is the Italian wine reviewer for Club Oenologique, Faculty of the Vinitaly International Academy and Wine Editor for Asia Tatler.

In this episode, U.S. equity portfolio manager Grayson Witcher explores what it means to invest exclusively in American businesses at a time when the U.S. is becoming more short‑term, more transactional, and more central to global change. He contrasts a shifting U.S. "extraction" mindset with China's longer-term industrial strategy and considers how that dynamic is reshaping globalization into a more regional, security-conscious world. The conversation then turns to portfolio implications: why the team has been reducing exposure to mature, highly penetrated software names facing intensifying competition and AI disruption, how the market's treatment of AI has evolved from hype to a more "show me the returns" phase, and where they see resilient opportunities. Highlights: How a more short-term, "extraction"-oriented U.S. policy stance—via tariffs, reshoring, and industrial policy—is altering incentives for companies and trading partners. The evolving nature of software moats in an AI world, including higher competitive intensity, mature end markets, and why some long-term winners' valuations may no longer be justified. The market's transition from rewarding any AI narrative to demanding clearer evidence of economic returns on massive cloud and data-center capital spending. A deliberate tilt toward businesses positioned for a more regionalized, security-focused world order, including nuclear, defense, and automation suppliers with multiple ways to win. The importance of remaining bottom-up and valuation-driven while acknowledging regime change—using portfolio construction to manage uncertainty rather than making binary macro bets.   Host: Andrew Johnson, CFA Institutional Portfolio Manager   Guest: Grayson Witcher, CFA, AB Portfolio Manager   This episode is available for download anywhere you get your podcasts.

A new season. A new host. A fresh start. Cameron Beer steps in to lead the 2026 Grassroots Show, bringing his experience as a British eventing coach and self-confessed grassroots enthusiast to a series built around practical tools for real riders.  In the first episode of the year, Cameron is joined by fellow coach and five-star rider Jo Rimmer to tackle one of the most important parts of eventing that often gets overlooked - planning. From setting honest long-term goals to working backwards from key events, they discuss how to structure a season, how to cope when plans change, and why developing your own "system" is the foundation of consistent performance. And this season, you are part of it. At the end of every episode, Cameron will set a weekly training task for listeners to try at home. This week's jumping exercise focuses on rhythm and control through a simple three-cavaletti line. Try it, post it, and tag your efforts using #GrassrootsChallenge so the team can follow along.

Equity analyst Alex Romaines joins the podcast to unpack "accounting shenanigans" and why getting from reported numbers to the economic truth of a business is so critical for long-term investors. Drawing on forensic accounting frameworks, he explains how a deep grounding in accounting shapes the way he interrogates financial statements—moving beyond compliance with standards to questions of judgment, incentives, and sustainability. The conversation discusses the issue of stock-based compensation: why adding it back to "adjusted" earnings can be misleading, how dilution and buybacks can quietly transfer wealth from outside shareholders to insiders, and practical ways investors can incorporate these real costs into valuation. Alex then highlights other red flags on his radar today—from lengthening depreciation schedules on fast-changing tech hardware, to vendor financing that may inflate revenues, to the quiet return of special purpose vehicles. Highlights: How a forensic accounting mindset helps investors move from reported numbers to the real economics of a business—and why that gap matters. Stock-based compensation as a quiet wealth transfer mechanism, and practical ways long-term investors can account for its true cost. The growing role of judgment in modern financial reporting, from "adjusted" earnings to the incentives shaping management's disclosures. Other accounting signals Alex is watching now, including depreciation assumptions, vendor financing, and the renewed use of special purpose vehicles.

This episode explains why a rare January buyer's market is creating real affordability opportunities for first-time homebuyers right now, without waiting on government “fixes.” SynopsisWith sellers outnumbering buyers by 47%—including 631,000 more sellers than buyers in January 2026—the episode breaks down why leverage has quietly shifted back to homebuyers. It outlines practical ways buyers are getting affordability through negotiations, seller credits, and builder incentives—plus rate buy-downs and closing cost help. It also explains why headline-driven policy talk doesn't solve the real issue (inventory) and why affordability wins often come from local and market-based opportunities instead. Finally, it spotlights emerging state and local ideas that could reduce monthly payments—like property tax caps/exemptions and stacked grants—while encouraging first-time buyers to get proactive before spring competition returns. “Right now, there's 631,000 more home sellers than there are home buyers in January 2026.” Highlights How does a first-time homebuyer actually use a “47% more sellers than buyers” market to negotiate better terms and prices?What affordability tools are working right now—seller credits, rate buy-downs, and builder incentives—and how do buyers stack them?Which markets are being labeled more buyer-friendly, and what signals should first-time buyers look for in their own area? What local policy changes (like property tax relief and expanded grant programs) could reduce your monthly payment without needing rates or prices to crash?

How did working at Restaurant Daniel shift how Jordan understands wine, fine dining, and food and wine pairing? What does Jordan mean when she describes certain wines as soulful? What's the difference between the old world approach focused on place and the new world approach focused on control and construction? Why did working harvests in Burgundy teach Jordan that could never be learned from books? How did molecular gastronomy pioneer Wylie Dufresne help her see restaurants as a legitimate intellectual and creative path? How did an early rejection from The New York Times become a signal to redirect her goals? Why did failing the advanced sommelier tasting exam become the foundation for eventually passing the Master Sommelier tasting on her first attempt?   About Jordan Salcito Jordan Salcito is an award-winning sommelier, author, and entrepreneur. A wine industry veteran, she has over a decade of experience as a sommelier at restaurants including Momofuku, Restaurant Daniel, and Eleven Madison Park (where she was part of the team to win the award for Outstanding Wine Service from the James Beard Foundation).

Highlights How to process the grief of missing loved ones during Christmas The emotional weight of hope deferred—and God’s ability to redeem hard seasons Practical ways to create new traditions when the old ones are no longer possible The role of prayer when circumstances feel impossible Why staying connected—digitally or in person—still matters Simple ways to support others who are grieving or struggling this season A reminder that Christmas is ultimately about presence, not perfection Gift Inspiration: Crosswalk's Holiday Gift Guide Looking for a meaningful way to celebrate the season?

Full Transcript Below: When Christmas Doesn’t Look the Way You HopedBy: Michelle Lazurek Bible Reading:“Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a longing fulfilled is a tree of life.” Proverbs 13:16 I'm not coming home for Christmas. These words hit hard when my husband and I realized my son would not be home for Christmas this year. In his third year of college, he has a girlfriend and wants to spend Christmas with her and her family. While we love who he's with and want him to have a good relationship with her family, it hurts us deeply that we won't get to see him during one of our favorite times of the year. For me, my favorite part of Christmas is not opening presents for myself, but watching my children open their presents on Christmas morning. It just won’t be the same without him. If you are grieving the loss of a loved one or a loved one won't be at Christmas like you'd hoped, you are not alone. Many of us will have a different type of Christmas this year. Sometimes it's because family and loved ones can't make the trip to see you. For others, it's a financial issue, and relatives can't afford to buy presents like they used to. A great way to make the most of the holidays, even if they don't look like you remember, is to create new traditions. While it's OK to have feelings like anger and sadness over the loss of years past, the best way to forge ahead is to make new memories in this new chapter in your life. For us, it means making the most of having our daughter home in the few remaining years she has left with us. It also means connecting with our son through Zoom or phone so we can be together for the holidays. It is difficult to hold on to hope when it seems like all is lost. The above verse tells us that when we hold out hope for something that seems far beyond our reach, it can feel as if our life is falling apart. However, God is a God of miracles. He can turn any situation to his advantage. Above all, he can respond to requests, even the most difficult ones, in a moment. The verse above reminds us not to give up hope. Keep on praying. Keep on asking God to answer your prayer request, even if it has been years. Christmas is a time for miracles! Our ability to still pray for situations that seem nearly impossible tests our faith, stretching and growing us spiritually. God wants us to rely on him and ask him in faith for anything. Although we may not always get what we ask for, it is essential that we still ask and pray, trusting that God will allow the situation to turn out exactly as he wants. Consider new ways to make the most of your holiday. Make contact with your relatives who won't be able to make the trip. Offer to pay for gifts for a loved one who is financially strapped this year. Observe the true meaning of the season by being the hands and feet of Christ, especially during the holiday season. Although the holidays are meant to be joyful, they aren't for everyone. Sometimes people grieve deep losses during the holidays. Just because someone is suffering doesn't mean you can't help them make the most of it. If you're the one grieving, lean on others for help. Don't be afraid to ask for prayer or for help from those who can offer it. It may mean your family members bring the side dishes while you provide the main entree for the holiday meal. Perhaps it means not giving gifts this year. Whatever you need to do, do it to make your holiday the best it can be. Even if it's not the way you hoped, do what you need to do. Christmas ultimately is not about gifts or extravagance. Instead, it is about spending time with loved ones who are near you. It is also a great way to connect with those who are far away. If your relatives can't come to you, go to them and make the effort to see them. Pray and ask God for everything, even the situations that seem hopeless. Don't allow your heart to be troubled. Instead, make the most of your holiday season and do what you can to connect with loved ones and observe the real meaning of the season. Father, let us be people who remember who you are and what the holiday season is for. Let us remember that Christmas is not about gifts, but instead about being connected to family. Let us reach out to communicate with family members who cannot make it this season. Amen. Intersecting Faith & Life: Is there a loved one - someone you haven't seen but would love to connect with - this holiday season? What is one step you can take to make that connection happen?

After decades of saving/investing, it's hard to immediately flip a switch and go into spending mode. Spending is a skill that you should develop on your way to FI, so that you're better at it when the time comes to really do it. Here's what worked for me over the last few years! Highlights How to reframe expenses and recalibrate how you value money (e.g. College Calculation, 0.01% Rule, etc.) Why you should expect inefficiencies/waste as your net worth grows The benefits of splurge accounts and forced annual-spending targets Balancing the idea that "everything is free" with the benefits of incremental improvements The importance of prioritizing "now" over "the future", while still spending/saving for both How to give more while increasing the personal benefits of that giving
