Podcasts about invested

As far as mantras go, Street Sharks have one about as good as they come. They fight. They bite. They stand for everything right. You can read it on the opening page of each issue of the IDW Publishing series, and as we discuss with writer Stephanie Williams this week, given everything going on in the world, it's worth repeating every time you crack open the comic. Street Sharks may have begun as a cash grab in the wake of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles' success. However, under Stephanie Williams' direction, in collaboration with artist Ariel Medel, the comic book series distinguishes itself by embracing the Bolton brothers' chill attitude amid abject horror. They're Supergirl to TMNT's Superman. They lived a life before their Krypton exploded. They know what they lost, they lived what they lost, and they still choose to direct their jawesome chompers toward villainy. It's pure superhero comics. You might be thinking, what the Big Slammu are you talking about? Well, you just have to dig into this week's episode to appreciate the comparison truly. We're getting deep with Street Sharks this podcast, discussing community, reluctant heroism, and mob mentality with Stephanie Williams. Two weeks ago, our co-host Lisa didn't know a thing about Street Sharks, but as of today, she's INVESTED. The first four issues of Street Sharks are now available from IDW Publishing. The fifth issue, concluding the first arc, swims into comic shops on February 18th. Street Sharks is written by Stephanie Williams, illustrated by Ariel Medel, colored by Valentina Pinto, and lettered by Jeff Eckleberry. Also, follow Stephanie Williams on Bluesky, Instagram, and her website. This Week's Sponsors This February, Dave Stevens's The Rocketeer soars again in a brand-new story written by John Layman, the genius behind the foodie cannibal detective series Chew, and illustrated by Jacob Edgar, who drew Plastic Man: No More and has a very cool J.

None other than Amelia Earhart! The first issue crashes into comic book shops on February 25th, courtesy of IDW Publishing.

This week, Chris and I dive deep into a question we've been getting a lot since our town hall event with Sarah Swain, Rebecca Matthews, and Elisa Kitz (which had almost 2,000 registrants!): Why are permanent tax shelters considered an asset class?   I'll be honest—this was a concept that completely confused me until about 4-5 years ago. I grew up being taught that insurance is an expense, never an investment. But understanding how certain life insurance policies can provide liquidity, tax advantages, and long-term value has been game-changing for our family—both personally and professionally. In this episode, we break down: The difference between whole life and universal life insurance Why insurance should be the foundation of your financial house (not just the pretty stuff on top) How permanent policies build cash value you can borrow from tax-free Why getting insured young matters more than you think The connection between your health records and insurance premiums This might feel like a big topic to grasp, but stick with us. We're here to help you understand what you weren't taught growing up.   Timestamps & Chapters [2:53 - 4:33] Why This Topic Matters Now Questions coming in about permanent tax shelters as an asset class How life insurance can offer protection AND build long-term value Jenn's journey from seeing insurance as an expense to understanding it as an investment [4:33 - 7:00] What Are Permanent Tax Shelters? Two types: Whole life and universal life insurance How they differ from term insurance (which is like "rent") Why these policies are structured differently for every person [7:00 - 10:20] Whole Life vs. Universal Life Whole life: Invested through the insurance company, pays dividends, safer/more conservative Universal life: Invested through markets, higher growth potential Companies we work with have been paying dividends for over 100 years [10:20 - 13:20] The Trust Factor Why people are hesitant to invest (lack of education, past bad experiences) Importance of transparency: where money goes, how returns work, paperwork to back it up Finding advisors who customize to YOUR needs, not just sell hot products [13:20 - 17:00] The Foundation Analogy Chris's building background: insurance is like the foundation of a house TFSAs, RRSPs, FHSAs are the "pretty stuff" on top If the foundation isn't solid, everything collapses when markets slip Different types of insurance: life, critical illness, disability [17:00 - 20:20] Why We Have Different Policies Individual needs vs. family goals Whole life for lending money back to yourself Universal life for stronger growth through market investments [20:20 - 23:40] Term vs. Permanent Insurance Explained Term insurance: Pay for protection for 10, 20, 30 years—when it expires, you're done (or renew at a much higher rate) Example: $75/month at age 30 becomes $500/month at age 65 Permanent insurance: Pay for a set period (often ~20 years), then you're covered for life [23:40 - 26:40] Health & Insurance Qualification Medical Insurance Bureau (MIB) has access to ALL your medical records Even minor things (like getting imaging for headaches) can flag you and increase premiums Jenn's story: Great health rating, lower premium Chris's story: One seizure from paintball at 21 flagged him for years [26:40 - 30:00] The Integrity Factor Insurance companies will test for things like nicotine in your hair if you claim to be a non-smoker Lying on applications can void your entire policy Smokers can requalify as non-smokers after 12 months nicotine-free and cut premiums in half [30:00 - 35:20] Why We're Talking About This Jenn's perspective: Health and wealth are connected Financial stress impacts health; lack of finances prevents getting health support The gap in what we weren't taught as adults, parents, business owners Teaching preparedness so people know what questions to ask [35:20 - 40:00] How Permanent Policies Build Cash Value Example: $100/month → $25 to insurance, $75 to investment Money grows tax-free inside the policy You can borrow from it with minimal or zero tax (depending on timing) Compare to RRSPs: 100% taxed at withdrawal at your marginal rate Insurance companies are great at saving from taxation; investment companies are great at making money—permanent policies combine both [40:00 - 43:00] The Self-Lending Strategy Build cash value you can borrow from tax-free or with greatly reduced tax Use for home repairs, helping kids, investments, etc. You can put in $300-500/month—insurance still only costs $25, rest goes to your investment fund [43:00 - 46:00] Inflation & Long-Term Planning Average Canadian couple needs $2.5-3 million to retire comfortably Inflation designed to be ~2.5% annually Example: Bag of milk was $2-3 twenty years ago, now $6-9, will be $20 in the future If you're only making 2.5% interest, you're just keeping up with buying power—not growing wealth Importance of reviewing statements together as a couple (even when uncomfortable)     Key Highlights & Takeaways ✅ Insurance as Foundation, Not Expense: Permanent life insurance should be viewed as the foundation of your financial house—not a bill, but an investment that protects everything else you build on top. ✅ Two Types of Permanent Policies: Whole Life: Conservative, dividend-based, great for self-lending Universal Life: Market-invested, higher growth potential ✅ Tax Advantages: Money grows tax-free inside permanent policies, and you can borrow from your cash value with minimal or zero tax (unlike RRSPs, which are 100% taxed at withdrawal). ✅ Get Insured Young: Health changes, medical records, and age all impact premiums. The younger and healthier you are when you get insured, the better your rates—and they're locked in for life. ✅ The MIB Knows Everything: The Medical Insurance Bureau has access to all your medical records. Even minor health events (like imaging for headaches) can flag you and increase premiums. ✅ Inflation is Real: The average Canadian couple will need $2.5-3 million to retire comfortably. If your money is only growing at 2.5%, you're just keeping up with inflation—not building wealth. ✅ Self-Lending Strategy: Permanent policies allow you to build a "personal bank" you can borrow from for major expenses, investments, or helping family—without traditional loan approval processes. ✅ Transparency Matters: Any advisor should be able to explain exactly where your money is going, how returns work, and provide full paperwork. If they can't, walk away. ✅ Health & Wealth Are Connected: Financial stress impacts your health, and lack of finances prevents you from getting the health support you need. They're not separate—they're intertwined.   Let's dive in! Thank you for joining us today. If you could rate, review & subscribe, it would mean the world to me!

Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Dr. Willie Jolley. SUMMARY OF THE INTERVIEW In this energetic and motivational conversation, Hall of Fame speaker Dr. Willie Jolley joins Rushion McDonald on Money Making Conversations Masterclass to discuss his new book, “Rich Is Good, Wealthy Is Better.” The interview covers the difference between being rich and being wealthy, the mindsets required for long-term financial growth, and how individuals—no matter their background—can build generational wealth. Jolley also emphasizes discipline, humility, planning, multiple streams of income, overcoming setbacks, and the importance of insurance and protection of assets. PURPOSE OF THE INTERVIEW The interview aims to: 1. Introduce and promote Dr. Jolley’s new book “Rich Is Good, Wealthy Is Better” and the teachings within it. 2. Educate listeners on the distinction between rich and wealthy Jolley wants audiences to understand wealth in generational, not short-term, terms. 3. Motivate individuals to shift their financial mindset From “working money” to “mailbox money.” 4. Empower entrepreneurs and families To adopt discipline, drop pride, and create multigenerational financial systems. 5. Share Jolley’s personal setback‑to‑success story To reinforce that anyone can grow wealth with the right principles. KEY TAKEAWAYS 1. Rich vs. Wealthy Being rich = high income, often tied to active labor (e.g., athlete contracts). Being wealthy = passive income, ownership, generational sustainability. A rich football player earns millions; the team owner earns billions and doesn’t have to “run up and down the field.” 2. The Five Money Mindsets Jolley explains five financial mindsets: One‑day mindset – living day to day. 30‑day mindset – fixed incomes/check-to-check living. One‑year mindset – annual thinking (raises, annual income). Decade mindset – typical for entertainers/athletes with multi‑year contracts. Generational mindset (Wealth Mindset) – building wealth to last multiple generations. Jolley’s goal: move people up just one level at a time. 3. Five Types of Wealth Jolley breaks wealth into five categories: Financial Wealth Health Wealth (“A sick person has one dream; a healthy person has a thousand.” – Les Brown) Relationship Wealth Reputational Wealth (Brand) Intellectual Capital Wealth (What you know and can charge for) 4. Discipline Is the Key Wealth requires: Living below your means Investing the difference Consistency Avoiding arrogance and ignorance 5. Pride Is an Enemy of Wealth Pride leads people to overspend to keep up appearances.Jolley argues that pride “kills wealth” and must be replaced with planning and humility. 6. The Three Legs of Wealth To build sustainable wealth, you need: Income Investment (letting money work for you) Insurance (life, health, car, disability, long-term care) 7. Multiple Streams of Income Jolley urges everyone to build at least two streams of income from: Stocks Bonds Real estate Crypto Collectibles Jewelry Art Content creation 8. Overcoming Setbacks Jolley details his own journey from unemployed nightclub singer to globally recognized motivational speaker.He reinforces that a setback is a setup for a comeback—the core message of his earlier bestselling book. 9. It’s Never Too Late to Start He cites examples of: A secretary who retired with $8M by investing small amounts over time Invested $12,000 at age 65 and grew it to $890,000 by age 72 NOTABLE QUOTES FROM THE INTERVIEW On Time & Opportunity “I have only just a minute… but it’s up to me to use it.” On Mindset “Wealth starts in your mind.” On Rich vs. Wealthy “Regular folks work for their money. Wealthy people make their money work for them.” On Pride “My pride was killing my wealth.” On Growth & Learning “If you’re willing to learn, no one can stop you.” [On Setbacks “A setback is a setup for your greater comeback.” On Starting Late “When is the best time to plant a tree?

These opening episodes set the tone for the series' blend of sweeping romance, sharp social commentary, and addictive drama. The premiere introduces the powerful Bridgerton family, led by eldest daughter Daphne Bridgerton (Phoebe Dynevor – Younger, Fair Play), as she enters the marriage market during London's competitive social season. Her fortunes take an unexpected turn when she forms a strategic alliance with the enigmatic Simon Basset, Duke of Hastings (Regé-Jean Page – Roots, The Gray Man), whose charm and emotional distance quickly make him the subject of intense fascination. Their fake courtship sparks both gossip and genuine attraction, becoming the emotional centerpiece of the show's early episodes.

Warhammer Podcast Dan will be appearing on - at least for the foreseeable.DAN'S GOODBYE MESSAGEI won't lie; this is an odd message/statement to write. For the longest while, I honestly thought I'd be doing this till either Phil or I was dead. And though I'm grateful that both Phil and I aren't dead (at least not at the time of writing), concluding my time on the Look Out, Sir! Warhammer Podcast is a tough, but necessary, thing to do. As much as I've genuinely loved being part of something that (I hope) entertained and informed you for the past (nearly) eight years, I need to give myself the space and time to focus on other things.I'm grateful to every one of you who listened to, and by extension supported, this podcast. You honestly helped make it what it became through your enthusiasm and encouragement. Thank you; you've been awesome!Obviously, I can't do a goodbye message/statement without acknowledging the efforts of Phil. At its core, the Look Out, Sir! Warhammer Podcast is a product of people's shared enthusiasm for small toy soldiers, but it wouldn't be anything without the friendship element (and the many hours of accompanying work). Luckily for me, Phil is a great friend and a great doer of things, so it all worked out. Thank you, mate.Thank you also to all my other friends and contributors to Look Out, Sir! over the years: Quizmaster Richie and contestant Tim; former co-host Joe; one-time scorekeeper Adam; DKK emphasises Toke; the RFW Boyz Tom, Tom, Ross, and Phil; Skyserpent Paulie; and others.In conclusion, you've been great, and it's been great. Selfishly, I'm looking forward to listening back to all 230 of these episodes 30 years from now, when I'm an even older, most likely broken man living in a nursing home, dragging around an oxygen tank. It'll be nice to reflect on how I spent a considerable amount of my thirties from that vantage point, assuming I make it that far… damn microplastics.Thank you for the time, the trust, and the many memories.

In today's episode of How to Grow My Small Business, I'm joined by my friend Lissa Figgins from Redeem Her Time, and this conversation is for every woman who's ever said: “I don't have enough time.” Lisa calls herself an un-time management coach — because she believes time management isn't the solution… it's actually part of the problem. We talk about how hustle culture trains us to measure our worth by what we get done, why busyness becomes a signal to the people we love (“I'm not available”), and how God calls us to steward time — not white-knuckle it. This episode gets real. Lisa shares a powerful story about what her body was doing under chronic stress — and how it became a wake-up call that her “productivity” was actually costing her peace. We also talk about: ROTI: Return on Time Invested Why being a “business owner” can quietly turn into being a “busyness owner” The biblical difference between managing and stewarding  The 3 time shifts most people miss Why multitasking is not your superpower The question that changes everything: “What is it time for?” If you've been craving clarity, margin, and a better way to grow your business without burning out… press play.

Now her mission as a Scaling Strategist is helping busy Christian women business owners scale their revenue (+ results).

Clarity is powerful — but only if you turn it into consistent action. In Part 2 of this Living by Design series (re-released for 2026), Bushy Martin shifts the focus from vision to execution, showing investors how to translate their “big why” into daily habits that actually shape the life they want to live. Last week, we revisited the importance of reconnecting with your core values and defining what an ideal lifestyle looks like. This episode is about what comes next — the doing. Bushy explains how living by design doesn’t require extreme discipline or radical lifestyle changes. Instead, it’s about creating simple, achievable daily habits that evolve into rich rituals — habits that support enjoyment, momentum, and long-term fulfilment, not burnout. This episode is especially relevant for property investors who want their wealth strategy to support life — not compete with it. What you’ll learn in this episode: How to turn vision into practical, everyday action Why “happy habits” matter more than big, dramatic changes How small daily rituals compound into lifestyle freedom Bushy’s simple framework for staying aligned and accountable Take Action 1.

Get your customized planning started by scheduling a no-cost discovery call: http://bit.ly/calltruewealth Over the past month, we released a six-part video series breaking down how ultra-wealthy investors think about taxes, and more importantly, how they legally minimize them. In this episode, we've stitched the entire Tax-Aware, Long-Short (TALS™) Strategy series together to allow you to hear the full framework in one place, and we're making it our year-end podcast episode. We'll talk about why traditional tax strategies fall short for high earners, how advanced tax-aware investing actually works, and the investment structures that have historically been reserved for ultra-high-net-worth families but are now becoming accessible to more investors. If you want to see the charts, visuals, and examples that go along with this discussion, you can watch the full six-part video series on YouTubehere: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLz7lSTNSHng4fplwiwAD_26ou4CCU_GP-   Here's some of what we discuss in this episode:

Two couples take the stage with a shared question—but very different financial realities: When is “enough” actually enough to move forward? Finn and Luna built a successful pet-sitting business and now sit on hundreds of thousands of dollars—but with no clear plan for investing, homeownership, or the future. Meanwhile, Monica and Antonio earn a strong income, are completely debt-free, and yet feel paralyzed by fear as they juggle parenting, aging parents, and the possibility of purchasing a larger home. In this live episode, Ramit digs into the tension between optimism and realism, abundance and anxiety. Together, they confront inherited money stories, decision paralysis, and what it really takes to turn income into confidence—so money stops being the thing that holds them back. In this episode we uncover: • Why having “hundreds of thousands of dollars” can still feel like total financial chaos without a system • The emotional whiplash of going from paycheck-to-paycheck to sudden abundance • How Finn and Luna's optimism vs. realism split shows up in every conversation about housing, investing, and location • Why crypto success without understanding risk creates false confidence • The real reason Luna pulled money out of investments and parked it in cash • How not knowing basic investing terms keeps progress stalled • Finn's fear that California homeownership is a ticking time bomb • Monica and Antonio's decision paralysis despite high income and zero debt • How generational trauma, bankruptcies, and lost homes shaped Monica's daily money anxiety • Why Antonio believes earning more is the solution • The financial and emotional toll of supporting aging parents while raising young children • The hidden cost of being “responsible for everyone” and never prioritizing your own future • The shift from reacting emotionally to money toward making deliberate, shared financial decisions • What changes when money stops being mysterious Chapters: (00:00:00) “I'm a dreamer”—and he just wants a real plan (00:25:32) What happens when the optimizer stops optimizing at home? (00:33:01) “They gave up everything for us” (00:46:33) “We make great money—but it doesn't feel like enough” (00:57:52) “I set the bar so high I can never win” (01:04:37) Where are they now?

How do you make sure your capital actually works for you—and doesn't just sit idle or worse, lose value? This episode takes a realistic look at opportunity cost, comparing the potential of real estate against dividend-paying stocks, fixed deposits, and other asset classes. It challenges the assumption that property always performs, and instead asks: when does it truly outperform?   Melvin Lim from PropertyLimBrothers explores whether a $500,000 paper margin gain is still achievable in the current market, and what strategies can make it possible. He breaks down common traps like stagnating assets, explains the impact of lease decay, and shares how quadrant-based property selection can change your long-term results. Through examples like penthouse plays and timing your asset exits, this is a strategic guide to deploying capital with intention.   If you're rethinking where to invest in 2025 or comparing real estate to other vehicles, this discussion offers grounded, practical insight.   00:00 Hook (Opportunity Cost of Investing) 00:17 Intro 00:35 $500K Quantum paper margin gain 01:59 Main Title = "Is $500K still possible?" 02:06 4 Classes of Prosperity Investing 07:17 4 Types of properties 08:44 Imagine your property Stagnates 11:00 Strategy 1: Go Big or Go Home 23:58 Invested for Buyers - Rio vista 3+Study penthouse 27:03 Strategy 2: Go Stronger but be Careful of the Exit Quantum 33:47 Sneak Peek of Episode 28 33:58 Outro

If you want a better year as an investor — and a better life overall — it starts with reconnecting to your “why.” In this re-released but timeless episode of Get Invested, Bushy Martin steps away from market noise and strategy talk to focus on something far more powerful: intentional living. This episode is a reminder that smart property investing isn’t just about assets and returns — it’s about designing a life worth living, then using property as the vehicle to get you there. Bushy walks listeners through why regular reflection matters, especially for investors who want clarity, direction, and momentum. Drawing on insights from psychology and years of experience, he explains why hearing — and revisiting — foundational truths is essential for long-term success. To help bring clarity to your goals and values, Bushy introduces seven simple but confronting questions designed to uncover: What truly matters to you How you measure success and happiness The kind of life you actually want to live What’s on your bucket list — and why it’s still waiting This isn’t theory. It’s a practical reset you can revisit every year to realign your investing decisions with the life you’re trying to build. Take Action Bushy’s challenge is simple but powerful: Write down your perfect day. Putting it on paper helps embed it into your unconscious mind — and sharing it introduces accountability, making you far more likely to follow through. If you’re willing to take that step, email your perfect day to hello@khgroup.com.au. As a thank you, Bushy will send you a complimentary copy of his award-winning book, Get Invested.

Niels and Cem reflect on a year marked by concentration, confidence, and growing structural fragility beneath calm markets. They examine extreme positioning, record low cash levels, and the quiet dominance of reflexive flows over fundamentals. Cem challenges common readings of volatility, explains where real fear hides in options markets, and outlines why tail exposure becomes critical late in cycles. The discussion broadens into portfolio construction, questioning the legacy of 60/40 investing and the illusion of diversification built during falling-rate decades. Grounded in history, market structure, and political cycles, this conversation offers a disciplined framework for navigating regimes where leverage, policy, and inequality quietly redefine risk.-----50 YEARS OF TREND FOLLOWING BOOK AND BEHIND-THE-SCENES VIDEO FOR ACCREDITED INVESTORS - CLICK HERE-----Follow Niels on Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube or via the TTU website.IT's TRUE ? – most CIO's read 50+ books each year – get your FREE copy of the Ultimate Guide to the Best Investment Books ever written here.And you can get a free copy of my latest book “Ten Reasons to Add Trend Following to Your Portfolio” here.Learn more about the Trend Barometer here.Send your questions to info@toptradersunplugged.comAnd please share this episode with a like-minded friend and leave an honest Rating & Review on iTunes or Spotify so more people can discover the podcast.Follow Cem on Twitter.Episode TimeStamps: 00:00 - Introduction to the Systematic Investor Series00:49 - Geopolitical tensions beneath the surface of markets02:07 - Extreme bullish sentiment and record low cash levels04:12 - Margin use, positioning, and why this setup is fragile06:07 - Why the VIX fails as a true fear indicator11:48 - Buffett's concentration and risk management through quality16:27 - Leverage, Sharpe ratios, and misunderstood diversification21:02 - Trend following performance and late year positioning23:48 - Positioning, reflexivity, and market microstructure28:25 - Volatility traps and convexity before stress events31:06...

Is it smarter to buy property or build it in today’s market? The answer depends less on the headlines and more on which lane you should be running in right now. In this re-released 'Sunday Session' conversation, Bushy Martin sits down with good mate Rob Flux from the Property Developer Network for a friendly but insightful sparring match: invest vs develop, buy vs build. Rob flies the flag for developers. Bushy holds the investor line. Together, they unpack when each strategy works, when it doesn’t, and how to work out where you fit at this stage of the property cycle. You’ll hear the real pros and cons of investing versus development, how the numbers shift as build costs and interest rates move, and a practical Strategy GPS (or Nonagon) you can use to assess your own situation — without emotion or hype. This episode is especially relevant right now, as parts of the market reach a point where building new or doing small development can stack up just as well — or better — than buying existing property on cost and cashflow. In this episode, Bushy and Rob cover: Why investing and developing are two completely different games How buy-and-hold uses time and compounding, while development manufactures equity through process and execution When build costs and interest rates tilt the equation toward development How to use the Strategy GPS / Nonagon to choose between investing, developing — or a hybrid of both Why most time-poor Aussies are better off building strong investment foundations first How community, education and experienced support (like Property Developer Network and Property Hub) dramatically reduce mistakes and accelerate progress Whether you’re an experienced investor wondering if it’s time to step into development — or just trying to decide which lane makes sense for your life right now — this episode will help you think strategically, not emotionally, about your next move.

Bank of Ireland has invested over €370m in its Retail Ireland division over its current threeyear strategic cycle (2023 - 2025). The investment spans fraud protection, technology and telephony, mortgage services, App investment, payments and CRM. A number of first-to-market products and services launched during that time, including EcoSaver - mortgage rates based on BER; Smart Start - current account for children/young teens; 'Coming to Ireland' service - customers can apply for their current account 45 days before moving to Ireland. 2,500 consumers across 120 countries have applied for a current account through the Coming to Ireland service since its launch in April. The Bank also recently launched a new lending product to support homeowners trading down and drive better use of existing housing stock in the market. Bank of Ireland's Retail Ireland division made significant headway over the period, driven by investment and innovation, improved customer experiences and market leadership across key products. This included the largest single investment the Bank has ever made in enhanced customer service systems and technology for frontline colleagues. Susan Russell, Chief Executive Retail Ireland, Bank of Ireland said: "As part of our strategy, we launched a completely new type of mortgage that rewards customers for improving the energy efficiency of their homes, helping us become Ireland's number one mortgage provider. Addressing the challenges faced by homeowners who need a property better suited to their needs, we announced a new lending product to support people trading down. And we're providing tailored products for farmers, young people, and those returning or relocating to Ireland. "We've also invested in our branches and contact centres and are rolling out a brand-new ATM fleet across the island. And through strategic deployment of new technology and AI, we're serving customers faster, protecting them better from fraud, and enabling payments across Europe in seconds. "Over the past three years, we've focused on building stronger relationships by listening more closely and responding for customers in meaningful ways. We've delivered a simpler business by removing friction and making everyday banking faster and more intuitive. And we're building a truly sustainable company, one that is inclusive, responsible and future-ready. This journey is far from over, but we're proud of how far we've come and very excited about what lies ahead." Retail Ireland delivery against strategy: Product and service innovation: Announced new lending product to support homeowners trading down and drive better use of housing stock in the market. Launched innovative products including EcoSaver (mortgage rates based on BER) and Smart Start (current account for children/young teens).

In this episode of the Scottish Property Podcast, Nick and Steven sit down with Clark Adam, a 69-year-old property investor with one of the most fascinating life stories ever featured on the show. From growing up as a self-confessed “Ned” in Glasgow's Cardonald, to joining the army at 15, to spending 25 years overseas protecting UK diplomats in some of the world's most dangerous countries — Clark's journey is anything but ordinary.After realising his pensions wouldn't cover retirement, Clark began investing in buy-to-lets in 2008. Fast forward to today, he owns a high-cashflow portfolio in Montrose, earns close to £10,000 per month, and is part of an elite property group where only investors netting over £100k annually are allowed in. His favourite strategies now include serviced accommodation, long-term corporate lets, purchase with delayed completion, and upcoming moves into M&A and hotels.This episode is packed with wisdom, wild stories, and truly unique insights into risk, discipline, and building wealth later in life.

If you think 2025 was a property boom, you’ve been lied to. Prices did rise — but not because Australia suddenly got richer, smarter or more confident. In this episode of Get Invested, Bushy Martin dismantles the popular boom narrative and explains why 2025 was really a policy-driven bottleneck that quietly rewarded a small group of prepared investors — while leaving many others exposed. Bushy breaks down how record-low listings, decade-low construction, surging migration and government-engineered price bands combined to create intense pressure in very specific parts of the market. The result? Some Australians made a year’s wage in equity without fanfare, while others chased hotspots, followed influencers, and overpaid for the wrong property in the wrong location — often without realising it yet. In this solo episode, Bushy reveals the three real forces that pushed prices higher even as affordability hit rock bottom, why 2025 was never an “equal boom”, and how national policy settings funnelled buyers into the same narrow price band — creating artificial competition in so-called “affordable” markets. He also revisits his proven 3 I’s (Infrastructure, Incomes, Industry) and 3 P’s (People, Property, Position) framework, showing why fundamentals — not FOMO — explained where growth actually occurred. Most importantly, Bushy outlines why strategy must come before location, and why borderless analysis paired with strong local execution is the smarter way to invest. Stick with Bushy to the end and you’ll walk away with a clear, practical three-step checklist you can use before buying anything in 2026 — because next year isn’t about prediction, it’s about positioning. This episode is essential listening for investors who want to live by design, not by default.

This is one of my favorite interviews of 2025. Jeff deGraaf, founder of Renaissance Macro Research, built his career translating technical analysis into actionable investment strategies for institutional clients. Hear about his market cycle clock—and why inflation matters more to stocks than GDP growth does.

Daily Evening Prayer (12/11/25) from Trinity Anglican Church (Connersville, IN): Psalms 59-61; Isaiah 36; James 4; Metrical Psalm 30:9-129 "What profit is there in my blood, congealed by death's cold night? Can silent ashes speak thy praise, thy wondrous truth recite?" 10 "Hear me, O Lord; in mercy, hear: thy wonted aid extend; Do thou send help, on whom alone I can for help depend." 11 'Tis done! Thou hast my mournful scene to songs and dances turned; Invested me with robes of state, who late in sackcloth mourned. 12 Exalted thus, I'll gladly: sing thy praise in grateful verse; And, as thy favors endless are, Thy endless praise rehearse.If you find this ministry edifying, please consider making a one-time donation or becoming a regular contributor here: https://trinityconnersville.com/give/To read along, visit: https://ie.dailyoffice1662.com/To sing along with the Brady and Tate Metrical Psalter, visit: https://www.friendsofsabbath.org/cgmusic.com/workshop/newver_frame.htmTo own a Bible, visit: https://www.thomasnelsonbibles.com/product/kjv-center-column-reference-bible-with-apocrypha/To own a prayer book, visit: https://anglicanway.org/product/the-1662-book-of-common-prayer-international-edition-hardcover-march-2-2021/To own a hymnal, visit: https://anglicanhousepublishers.org/shop/the-book-of-common-praise-of-the-reformed-episcopal-church/

In this episode, we break down the revelations around David Sacks, the venture capitalist now serving as the Trump administration's de-facto AI czar, while simultaneously holding deep financial ties across the AI industry he's helping shape.Following the New York Times' recent reporting, we examine how Sacks positioned himself at the center of both AI policy and AI investing, and what happens when the person influencing federal AI strategy is also betting on the companies affected by those decisions.Is this a historic conflict of interest? A new model of tech-government entanglement? Or simply the inevitable outcome of Silicon Valley's growing political power?We dig into:- How Sacks became the administration's key voice on AI- The scale of his investments in AI companies- What “no conflict, no interest” looks like in practice- Why industry insiders are divided on whether this is savvy or dangerous- What this means for AI regulation, startups, and U.S. competitiveness

Australian property investors are being misled by headlines - here’s why location, not media noise, will determine who wins in 2025. In this episode of Get Invested, Bushy Martin sits down with long-time favourite and one of Australia’s most respected property research analysts, Terry Ryder, founder of Hotspotting and author of Why Property Values Rise. Together they cut through the noise to reveal what really drives sustainable property growth - and why most investors never build the portfolio they dream of. Terry unpacks why 70–80% of value growth comes down to local area selection, not the property itself, and why treating Australia as “one market” is lazy and dangerous. He explains how $900B+ of infrastructure is reshaping jobs, incomes and housing demand across thousands of micro-markets - and why forward-looking indicators matter far more than backward-looking stats. From the rise of apartments and overlooked suburbs, to the spectacular failure of doom-and-gloom forecasts, Bushy and Terry give investors a practical GPS for choosing outperforming locations using Terry’s EMPIRICAL formula alongside Bushy’s 3I’s & 3P’s. If you’re serious about building a lifestyle-funding portfolio - not just a random collection of properties - this conversation is essential listening.

Send us a textReady to stop grinding and start scaling? We dive into a clear, no-fluff blueprint for using agentic AI to grow sales, improve margins, and reclaim your time. Instead of one-off prompts, you'll learn how autonomous agents perceive context, plan multi-step workflows, make decisions, and execute tasks across your stack—then learn from outcomes to get better week after week.We walk through the five domains where agents deliver immediate wins: customer support that resolves faster and cuts cost per ticket; lead generation that researches prospects and tailors outreach to lower CAC; marketing engines that ideate, create, test, and iterate across channels; back-office automation that reconciles books, tracks invoices, and manages inventory; and forecasting that sharpens demand, revenue, and cash flow accuracy. Along the way, we plug real numbers into the conversation—10x service cost reductions, 40–60% time-to-output cuts, and double-digit revenue lift—so you can benchmark your own progress with confidence.Measurement is the unlock. You'll get a compact KPI framework tied to the P&L: revenue growth rate, ROI per initiative, gross margin improvement, operating cash flow accuracy, CAC and lifetime value, time-to-output, error rates, cost per transaction, CSAT, and NPS. We also share practical guardrails to deploy safely: approvals, escalation paths, SOPs, and team training that make adoption stick. The human edge—strategy, empathy, and brand—stays at the center while agents handle the repetitive execution. If you've wondered how to leverage AI without losing what makes your business special, this is your roadmap.Subscribe for more playbooks, share this with a founder who needs it, and leave a review to tell us which KPI you'll track first.Thanks for tuning in to this episode of Follow The Brand!

What's the secret to making a great event come together? Today I'm chatting with my friend and event co-host Anita Guerini. Together, we hosted The Pink Skirt Project event in 2025 with over 300 women in attendance. It was a magnetic experience that changed lives, and we can't wait to do it again. In this conversation, we're sharing how we shattered the blueprint for running an event like this for the first time, and how we're going even bigger and bolder next year. In this episode, you will learn about: Why we decided to go big with our first event, and how it paid off. What actually made our event a sold-out success. Why I hid my true self for so long in business (and the moment that liberated me). How opening up a safe space for vulnerability creates major impact. The detailed planning process behind putting a first-time event together. What the energy of the room was like that morning and what it meant to me. The secret sauce The Pink Skirt Project brings and how it can influence your circle. Why we love out-of-the-box marketing tactics and how we embrace it.

Suffering Victoriously As Christians… “It is ‘Go Time’ to be Fully Invested in Serving Christ and His Kingdom!”  It was and seems to be once again time to be fully invested in serving the LORD.  There are four fundamental responses that need to be consistently practiced as troublesome times continue to unfold.  First, a prayer life built upon sound judgment and soberness.  Next, we need to remain fervent in our love for the brethren.  Third we need to be hospitable with a great attitude,  Finally, we need to invest our God-given gifts, talents, abilities, and resources to advance Christ’s Kingdom.  The overall riding purpose is that God may be glorified in His people as we humbly do His will.  The post It Is “Go Time” To Be Fully Invested! appeared first on Pleasant Hill Church of Christ.

PLA Anti-Submarine Warfare Grows, But Taiwan Conflict Will Immediately Escalate to Total War for Ryukyu Islands — Rick Fisher — Fisher notes that the PLA Navy has invested heavily in advanced anti-submarine warfare (ASW) capabilities. However, Japan maintains a meaningful deterrent margin through its new lithium-battery powered submarines. Fisher warns that China cannot impose an effective blockade of Taiwan without invading and occupying the Sakushima Islands (part of the Ryukyu chain), guaranteeing that any conflict over Taiwan's status will immediately transition into total, wider warfare involving Japan and the United States. 1937 ESTONIA

There comes a point where the math you've been doing in your head stops adding up. You spent years in school. You passed the bar. You took on the loans. You built the career you were told would make it all worth it. Now you're tired, anxious, or checked out, but the idea of leaving makes your stomach drop. It feels like walking away means none of it mattered.That's how the sunk cost trap works. It convinces smart people that the only respectable choice is to stick with a decision that's hurting them. It tells you that if you bail now, everything you put into becoming a lawyer disappears.If you're stuck in the “I can't throw this away” spiral and need help figuring out your next step you need to listen to this. See show notes at formerlawyer.com/249

Why give to the local church? How do we discern what to give? And what does the Lord do through the financial offerings of His people? All of this is explored in the final installment of our Invested series.

On this episode of The Jon Gordon Podcast, I sit down with Chad Willardson, entrepreneur, wealth advisor, and author of Fully Invested, for a heartfelt and lively conversation about what it truly means to win big at work and at home - without sacrificing one for the other. Chad shares the journey behind his “fully invested” philosophy: from the pivotal moment he chose family over chasing the Wall Street grind, to building successful businesses while making his marriage and five kids a top priority. Together, we unpack why “work-life balance” is a myth, and how true fulfillment comes from integrating your values into every part of your life, not compartmentalizing them. Key themes include learning to say no to good opportunities so you can say yes to great ones, cultivating championship teams in business and family, and establishing rituals and communication that keep loved ones connected even as life and careers evolve. Chad's candid stories and practical strategies illuminate how being present, whether at home or work, not only deepens relationships but powers greater professional success. Whether you're longing for more meaning at home while building your career, or questioning if you really have to choose between family and ambition, this episode is a powerful reminder that your richest life is possible when you invest fully in what truly matters.   About Chad, Chad Willardson, CFF®, CRPC®, AWMA®, is the President and Founder of Pacific Capital, a family office services firm dedicated to helping high-net-worth entrepreneurs achieve lifestyle and financial freedom. Chad is also the Founder of ELEVATED, an exclusive coaching program for growth-focused entrepreneurs.
