Podcasts about Hike

Have you ever been so deep in the day to day grind of building your business that you forgot why you started in the first place?It happens fast. You're chasing goals, answering messages, working on the next project, and trying to grow. Before you know it, your business is getting more of you than your health, family, relationships, and the life you're actually trying to create.In this special episode of The Happy Hustle Podcast, I'm coming to you straight from the Montana backcountry for our first ever Montana Mastermind hike and pod. No studio. No fancy setup. Just nature, good people, real conversations, and a chance to unplug from the noise.I sit down with my brother Michael Ballard, an entrepreneur and software development business owner originally from Sequim, Washington, who has spent the past eight years living in Stockholm, Sweden. Michael and his team work on mobile apps, websites, and AI implementations, helping bring technology driven ideas to life.But this conversation goes way beyond software and entrepreneurship.Michael shares why getting away from the computer and spending time in nature helps him zoom out and think about the bigger picture. When you're constantly caught in the tactics of running a business, it's easy to lose sight of what you actually want your life to look like.We talk about one of Michael's biggest pieces of business advice, do what you love. His belief is simple. It's incredibly difficult to become great at something you don't actually enjoy doing.We also get into personal growth and what it means to continually work on becoming a better man. Michael talks about following a virtuous path, getting clear on what you want from life, and making sure your daily actions line up with your ambitions.When it comes to health, Michael keeps things practical. Exercise matters, but nutrition is where he believes many people miss the mark. He focuses on getting quality nutrition, prioritizing protein, managing calorie intake, and maintaining a healthy weight.Then we talk money.Michael shares how consistently saving and investing helped give him something he didn't grow up with, financial security. Building a financial cushion gave him peace of mind knowing that even if his business stopped making money, he could still take care of his family.His advice is to start saving, understand what you're investing in, and give your money time to work for you.We also dive into spirituality and connection. Michael uses yoga, movement, prayer, visualization, and time away from devices to reconnect with himself and something greater. Rather than only sitting still to meditate, he finds connection through movement and intentionally stepping away from screens.One of the biggest themes of this conversation is something every entrepreneur needs to hear.You don't have to grind yourself into the ground to become successful.You don't have to sacrifice your family or the people you love just to build a bigger business.Business and money can create a foundation. They can give you freedom and flexibility. But the point is to use that freedom to spend time with people you love, do things you genuinely enjoy, get outside, have epic adventures, and actually live.A few takeaways from this episode:Do work you genuinely love. It's difficult to give your best to something you don't care about.Build financial security one step at a time. Saving and investing consistently can create more freedom and peace of mind for you and your family.Take your health seriously. Nutrition, protein, movement, and maintaining a healthy weight can have a massive impact on how you show up.Get away from your devices. Time in nature can help you step out of the daily tactics and reconnect with the bigger picture.Don't sacrifice your entire life for your business. Entrepreneurship should help create more freedom to enjoy your family, relationships, adventures, and the experiences that actually matter.As Michael puts it, “Living the dream.”We only get one life, Happy Hustlers. Build the business. Make the money. Take care of your health. But don't forget to actually enjoy the ride.If you're an entrepreneur who's been stuck in grind mode, this conversation is your reminder to zoom out, unplug, and reconnect with what you're really building all of this for.Listen to the full episode at https://happyhustle.com/podcast and keep Happy Hustlin'.What does Happy Hustlin' mean to you?For Michael happy hustlin' means you don't have to grind yourself into the ground.

Puget Sound Energy customers are pushing back against a proposed three-year rate plan that could significantly increase electric and natural gas bills across Washington. PSE is asking the Washington Utilities and Transportation Commission to approve electric rate increases of 15.15% in 2027, 3.74% in 2028 and 8.70% in 2029. The Washington Attorney General's Office characterizes the proposal as an approximately 29% electric rate increase over the three-year period. Natural gas rates would also increase under PSE's proposal. More than 100 Puget Sound Energy customers attended a public hearing in Lacey, according to Washington in Focus, where ratepayers urged state regulators to reject or reduce the proposed increases. Customers raised concerns about affordability, shareholder returns and how much Washington families are already paying for electricity and natural gas. Washington Attorney General Nick Brown is also challenging PSE's proposal. His office argues the requested increases are excessive and says PSE's plan would collect an additional $3.396 billion from customers over three years. The Attorney General's Office has also highlighted PSE's shareholder dividends, saying the company paid $175.9 million in dividends in 2024 and $62.9 million in 2025. Puget Sound Energy says its three-year rate plan is needed to maintain safe and reliable service, meet growing electricity demand, modernize infrastructure and comply with Washington's clean-energy requirements. PSE says it expects to invest more than $3.2 billion in its gas and electric systems over the next three years. The Washington Utilities and Transportation Commission will determine what rate changes, if any, ultimately take effect. Also in today's Washington in Focus, a decades-long water-rights fight involving Fodé Farms and the Washington Department of Ecology is heading to the Washington Supreme Court. Ron and Robin Fodé argue Ecology failed to provide required assistance before taking enforcement action and improperly relied on an unpublished deadline involving seasonal water-right transfers. Ecology disputes those arguments and says lower courts have found that its actions followed the law. The Washington Supreme Court is hearing arguments in the case as the Fodés challenge the limits of state agency authority and water-rights enforcement. Finally, Washington's 2026 Supreme Court election is putting judicial independence and political relationships in the spotlight. Justice Theo Angelis, who was appointed to the Washington Supreme Court by Gov. Bob Ferguson in March, faces challenger Dave Larson. Larson has criticized Angelis' previous political donations and relationships and argues they raise concerns about judicial independence. Angelis says his past donations and associations would not influence how he decides cases and that judges must leave those considerations outside the courthouse. Today's Washington in Focus examines Puget Sound Energy's proposed rate increases, rising Washington utility bills, PSE shareholder returns, the Fodé Farms water-rights case, the Washington Department of Ecology and the Angelis-Larson Washington Supreme Court race.

Whilst the 30-year US Treasury bond yield rose for a sixth consecutive session, traders were calmed somewhat by comments from New York Federal Reserve President John Williams yesterday. Markets are now pricing in a 49% chance of a Fed rate hike in October, down from 71% on Monday. This didn't help US indices though: they all declined on the day. Asia saw stocks recover and there was encouraging factory activity data out of China. Today sees the release of the Fed's preferred measure of inflation - the Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) Price Index. Our Head of Fixed Income Research, Dario Messi, joined the podcast to explain what is driving higher yields, where he believes investors can find the best value now, and why he believes that a quality bias in credit portfolios is still warranted.(00:00) - Introduction: Lucija Caculovic, Product & Investment Content (00:31) - Markets wrap-up: Bernadette Anderko, Product & Investment Content (06:20) - Fixed income update: Dario Messi, Head of Fixed Income (10:06) - Closing remarks: Lucija Caculovic, Product & Investment Content Would you like to support this show?

In this episode of the Financial Survival Network, host Kerry Lutz welcomes back financial analyst and macro strategist Jim Welsh of MacroTides.com to break down the underlying vulnerabilities in today's financial markets. Rather than predicting an immediate market crash, Jim highlights a growing internal weakness, pointing out how an equal-weighted S&P 500 and broader market internals show more stocks hitting new lows than highs. The discussion delves into surging Treasury yields, the probability of a "one-and-done" Federal Reserve rate hike driven by economic factors and newly signaled Fed policy, and why market-driven rate increases are already doing the heavy lifting for the central bank. The conversation shifts to sector trends, specifically examining whether the booming artificial intelligence sector is headed for a dot-com style correction. Jim outlines his technical outlook for the semiconductor index (SMH), forecasting near-term pullbacks followed by a potential buying opportunity before a larger macro unwind occurs later in the cycle. Kerry and Jim wrap up with a look at historical market patterns, economic cycles, and a brief look at inflation metrics via the Dollar Time Machine, highlighting how rising national debt impacts long-term economic stability.

Verena bringt reichlich Erfahrung aus Ultra-Events wie Badlands oder dem Bohemian Border Bash Race mit, während Nina als Bikepacking-Rookie aus Namibia nach einem 900-km-Erlebnis auf Mallorca spontan Ja zu einem der härtesten Rennen der Welt gesagt hat. Nach nur wenigen gemeinsamen Treffen gingen die beiden als Duo beim berüchtigten Silk Road Mountain Race in Kirgistan an den Start.Im Podcast sprechen Verena und Nina offen über ihren harten Weg durch das Hochgebirge, kilometerlange Hike-a-Bike-Passagen, unberechenbaren Peanutbutter-Schlamm und die ständige Angst vor der Schnecke. Sie erzählen von den physischen Extremen wie Höhenkrankheit und geschwollenen Gesichtern auf über 3.500 Metern sowie einem dreisten Diebstahl in einer Nachbarjurte in der letzten Nacht.Wir sprechen über die Ausrüstung als Pair, Esbit-Kocher für heiße Fertignudeln, lückenloses Strom-Management mit Naben-Dynamos und Pufferakkus sowie die ungeschönte Realität von Wundscheuern, Feuchtigkeit und defekten Schaltwerken. Und vor allem: wie eine funktionierende Paar-Dynamik mit dem richtigen Humor selbst in den tiefsten Krisen den Unterschied macht.Viel Spaß!

Mark and Cindy continue their deep exploration of 1 Corinthians 4, discussing how Paul speaks to the Corinthians not to shame them, but to admonish them as beloved children—revealing that genuine spiritual leadership is rooted not merely in knowing truth, but in caring enough to help others live it. They note from the text the dangerous relationship between arrogance and being unteachable, recognizing that impressive words mean very little if our lives lack the power of genuine transformation, and that the kingdom of God is not built on talk, reputation, or empty claims—it is demonstrated through lives surrendered to God's power. Ultimately, Paul places the choice before the Corinthians --- a choice we too face every day: will we respond to loving correction with humility, or will our stubbornness require something much harder?

He outlines his case for further hikes and offers a closer look into the "junk bond" market, which has seen more interest during the AI buildout. Alexandra Semenova makes the case the rate hiking cycle will be a shallow one but expresses concerns for waning market breadth. She also discusses the 10-year Treasury yield hitting 5% after rising for seven consecutive months. That said, strong earnings and economic growth don't flash warning signals yet.

Earnings expanding at a "historic rate" is what Ahmed Reisgo points to as the key driver to lasting market momentum even as Treasury yields spike. He also brushes back concerns that the U.S. economy is "overheating" despite the earnings uptick. On the Fed, Ahmed makes the case that the committee will make a "mistake" to hike interest rates as much as markets are pricing in. "Not all parts of the economy are on stable footing," says Ahmed, points out ways that a rate hike will undercut the components currently working.

In this episode, we discuss why the Fed is placing greater emphasis on financial conditions than the neutral interest rate (r), and what that means for the outlook for U.S. monetary policy and rate hikes.​‌ The discussion and content provided within this podcast is intended for informational purposes only and may not be appropriate for all investors.

Business and finance news from the Asia-Pacific. The surge in Treasury yields has pushed yield gaps with emerging Asia bonds toward record levels, raising the risk of capital outflows from the region, according to strategists. A selloff in US government bonds deepened this week, with the 30-year yield surging to its highest level since 2004 on Thursday and the benchmark 10-year yield hitting its highest since 2007. Bloomberg's David Ingles and Rebecca Choong-Wilkins spoke to Quadratic Capital Management Founder and CIO Nancy Davis. And - Donald Trump and Xi Jinping addressed their intense competition over artificial intelligence on Thursday during a summit aimed at keeping ties between the world's largest economies on track. How the leaders are handling AI is one of the key questions looming over the state visit, with the US president arguing for unfettered development to keep his nation's edge. China, meanwhile, has criticized American export controls on semiconductors and other inputs that it argues constrains its companies. Bloomberg's Stephen Engle spoke to Former US Embassy Deputy Chief of Mission in Beijing Sarah Beran.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Plus, as the administration weighs a diesel export ban to combat soaring prices, American Petroleum Institute CEO Mike Sommers explains why he says the move could make matters worse.

In this episode, Andrew Sleigh joins the Ask Andrew podcast to discuss gold and silver prices, Federal Reserve rate hikes, currency debasement, physical precious metals, and growing global demand for gold and silver. Andrew explains why he believes gold and silver prices have remained resilient despite higher interest rates, why physical ownership matters during financial uncertainty, and how demand from China, BRICS nations, institutions, and major buyers could influence the physical metals market.

The interest rate hike from the Fed is a big deal for small caps, says Erin Gibbs. She explains how mega cap firms stomach the pains of rising rates while the small cap peers pay the real price. However, Erin still sees opportunity in select names like GitLab (GTLB), Match Group (MTCH), and Dropbox (DBX) even if volatility grips these stocks for now. She turns to the Mag 7 by discussing Meta Platforms' (META) Muse AI and why investors "shouldn't underestimate" the AI agent.

crunched underfoot.Da: Luften var kølig og frisk, og en svag brise susede gennem træerne.En: The air was cool and fresh, and a gentle breeze rustled through the trees.Da: Niels, Astrid og Kasper bevægede sig ad stien mellem de høje egetræer og stille birketræer.En: Niels, Astrid, and Kasper moved along the path between the tall oak trees and quiet birch trees.Da: Niels førte an.En: Niels led the way.Da: Han gik med faste skridt, men der var en knugende frygt dybt inde.En: He walked with determined steps, but there was a gripping fear deep inside.Da: Han ønskede desperat at gennemføre vandreturen med sine venner og vise sig selv, at han kunne klare udfordringen.En: He desperately wanted to complete the hike with his friends and prove to himself that he could handle the

hans side, tog Niels en ledende position.En: With Kasper weak and Astrid by his side, Niels took a leading position.Da: De gik igennem en smal, utydelig sti, en genvej gennem den tætte skov.En: They walked through a narrow, indistinct path, a shortcut through the dense forest.Da: Niels holdt sin frygt i skak og stolede på sin instinkt.En: Niels kept his fear in check and trusted his instincts.Da: De kunne høre Kasper puste bag dem, svækket, men stædig.En: They could hear Kasper panting behind them, weakened but stubborn.Da: Endelig, i sidste skumringslys, så de stationens lys mellem træernes mørke.En: Finally, in the last twilight, they saw the station's lights between the darkness of the trees.Da: Niels' hjerte lettede, men Kasper snublede.En: Niels' heart lifted, but Kasper stumbled.Da:

Three hikes and a hold in eight days, all in answer to the same energy shock. So why did the Fed, the ECB and the Bank of Japan raise rates, while the Bank of England sat tight, despite facing the worst inflation path of the four?

Hey Heal Squad! Maria is coming in HOT after a whirlwind week of travel…from  New York, to  Philly, to Boston and  LA…but somehow after a wild week of jam packed schedules…she came out of it feeling happier and more energized instead of completely depleted. So…what worked? Well she's gonna tell us!  First, we're asking a question that might hit a little deeper than expected: Who is your camera? You know that person you look to after you do something, waiting for them to tell you, “You did great”? Maria realized we may need to be VERY careful about who we give that job to  and maybe learn how to turn the camera back on ourselves.Then things get a little more…digestive LOL! After mostly cutting out dairy, Maria brought Greek yogurt back into the mix for more protein and noticed a VERY unexpected bathroom benefit. Yep, we're talking constipation, probiotics and whether Greek yogurt might officially be back on her menu.PLUS, Maria is getting serious about protein again after noticing what it does for her blood sugar, and she shares the protein smoothie that's been working for her. And finally, we're solving the “fun crisis” with something ridiculously simple: going for a hike. Maria even dragged herself out for a sunrise hike she almost skipped  and it ended up being one of those “OMG, I'm so happy right now” moments. Can't wait for you to hear this one friends!

Is Trump losing control of everything? That's the through-line this week as the system starts pushing back on multiple fronts at once. Paul Rieckhoff breaks down Thomas Massie's articles of impeachment against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth — a Pentagon leader more obsessed with grooming standards and fitness optics than with getting the job done in Iran or telling Congress the truth. Inside the building, morale is cratering and the leaks are coming from senior officers who want him out. Meanwhile, Kevin Warsh — the man Trump handpicked to replace Jerome Powell and slash rates — did the opposite. He hiked. Because inflation is real, the bond market doesn't lie, and even a Trump loyalist has to answer to Economics 101. From there the show pivots to Ukraine's record defense budget and the long-overdue Graham sanctions bill, the Iran war that's become a sucking chest wound for the military and the economy, and the cultural collision that is Ed Sheeran, Macklemore, Bob Kraft, and the free-Palestine chant that split a New Jersey stadium in half. This is the no-BS, intelligence-grade read on a week where the Fed, the Supreme Court, Congress, and the Pentagon all told the president no — and where the most desperate move may still be coming. If you want to understand what actually happened this week without a partisan filter, this is your briefing. -WATCH full video of this episode here. -Millions of American veterans are being locked out of primary elections in the country they served.

The US central bank has raised interest rates for the first time in more than three years, to try to curb inflation. The Federal Reserve lifted its benchmark rate by a quarter of a percentage point and suggested it could do so again before the end of the year. In a social media post, President Trump demanded "lower interest rates... and fast." Also: Nepal has sharply revised upwards the number of people missing after last month's flash flood to 6,150. Hundreds more are missing across the border in Tibet. What American scientists are trying to achieve by putting human brain cells in mice.
