If you look at the US, the blue states are experiencing a recession, the policies are backfiring. Ford is now going to sell cars on Amazon. Trump wants to make life cheaper for Americans.  Investors are liquidating their Bitcoin positions pushing the price down.  The [CB] is the root of all evil. The fake news continues with their fake stories in regard to the illegals. The D's fell right into the trap that Trump set, they are exposing the Epstein files and clearing Trumps name and implicating themselves. They are now panicking. Trump is now beginning to separate the RINOS from MAGA, this is all in preparation for the midterms, Trump is also beginning to set the narrative for the Presidential race. Trump mission is to take the country back, the [DS] mission is to try to stop him, nothing can stop this.   Economy Trump Withdraws Nominee for Top IRS Lawyer Donald Korb served in the Bush administration from 2004 to 2008. President Donald Trump on Nov. 14 withdrew the nomination of Donald L. Korb, a veteran tax attorney, to serve as the top lawyer for the IRS.

High leverage in derivatives markets (funding rates flipped negative) created a cascade: one sell triggered stops, pulling prices lower and wiping out more positions. Weekend and low-volume trading exacerbated the drop—daily spot volume fell to $2 billion (vs. $50 billion peaks in 2021), making BTC vulnerable to amplified moves. A CME futures gap at $92K was filled, adding technical fuel. Sentiment gauges like the Fear & Greed Index hit "extreme fear" (score: 18), spurring retail panic. Notably, on-chain data reveals no major spot selling—exchanges hold fewer BTC now than at the peak—suggesting this is a "synthetic" flush via derivatives, not fundamental dumping. Spot Bitcoin ETFs saw net outflows of $1.1 billion over the past 48 hours—the largest weekly redemptions since March 2025—driven by institutions like BlackRock's IBIT and Fidelity's FBTC. This reversed months of inflows that had propped up prices earlier in the year. https://twitter.com/ColonelTowner/status/1989700368951906382?s=20   Political/Rights https://twitter.com/CMDROpAtLargeCA/status/1990435847611552052?s=20 https://twitter.com/DHSgov/status/1990414982060581351?s=20   removal by an immigration judge from November 4, 2014.

He breaks down Blueprint as a practical on-ramp with evidence-based health, behavior, and social habits. We finish on crypto, from his Braintree days with Coinbase to how web3 could power a broad “don't die” commons. ------

The video game industry has had a turbulent few years. The pandemic made people play more and caused a small boom, which then subsided, resulting in wave after wave of massive layoffs. Microsoft, one of the major console manufacturers, is shifting its strategy for Xbox as the company shifts its focus to AI. And now, Electronic Arts, once a load-bearing publisher for the industry with brands like The Sims and Madden, is going private via a leveraged buyout in a deal involving Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund and Jared Kushner. Video games are more popular than ever, but many of the biggest companies in the business seem like they are struggling to adapt and convert that popularity into stability and sustainability. To try and understand what the hell is going on, this week we have a conversation between Emanuel and Jason Schreier, who reports about video games for Bloomberg and one of the best journalists on this beat. Jason helps us unpack why Microsoft is now aiming for higher-than-average profit margins at Xbox and why the company is seemingly bowing out of the console business despite a massive acquisition spree. We also talk about what the EA deal tells us about other game publishers, and what all these problems tell us about changing player habits and the future of big budget video games.

Roundhill Investments' Dave Mazza offers a wide perspective on the market moves seen over the last week. He believes investors in high-flying stocks tied to A.I., quantum, and nuclear are reassessing the current economic environment and taking chips off the table until there's more clarity. That said, Dave says "under the radar" plays have seen huge upswings, pointing to healthcare stocks as beneficiaries. He later looks ahead to Nvidia's (NVDA) earnings later this week. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – / schwabnetwork Follow us on Facebook – / schwabnetwork Follow us on LinkedIn - / schwab-network About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about

Why Trust Breaks Down and What To Do About It In this episode, Marcus talks with Charles Green, one of the genuine heavyweights in the world of trust and commercial relationships. If you lead a mid market scaling tech firm and you suspect your sales or GTM function is underperforming for reasons no dashboard can explain, this conversation will feel uncomfortably accurate. Together they explore how fear, uncertainty, and internal pressure quietly poison performance. Forget the usual talk about activity ratios and pipeline hygiene. This is a candid look at the human drivers behind buyer reluctance, stalling, and ghosting, and why most attempts to “solve” these problems only make them worse. Charlie argues that instead of trying to measure trust, leaders should focus on spotting and removing the behaviours that actively destroy it. If you are grappling with the tension between short term targets and long term customer value, this episode will challenge how you think about leadership, incentives, and your culture. Key Takeaways for Scaling Founders, GTM Leaders and Sales People Trust is lived, not conceptual. It is emotional as much as rational. Charlie draws a clear distinction between thin, institutional trust and thick, personal trust. Trust is often built in moments. Reliability takes repetition, but intimacy is created quickly. How you pause, how you listen, and how you look at someone all matter more than your slide deck. Over promising is lying twice. One promise on the way in, one on the way out. It corrodes trust faster than anything. Fear drives most distrust. Buyers who feel uncertain catastrophise. That is what creates anticipatory buyer remorse and pipeline ghosting. The antidote is to name the fear out loud. Once spoken, it loses power. Repair beats perfection. A relationship that has been broken and then repaired well is often stronger than one that never faced a test. Repair requires vulnerability and accountability, not ego. The Trust Equation and Why Most Firms Focus on the Wrong Bits The Trust Equation helped popularise the components of trustworthiness. Most leaders obsess over credibility and reliability because they are convenient to measure. Charlie explains why they are nowhere near the strongest drivers. Intimacy. By far the biggest factor. It is about making the other person feel safe, understood, and genuinely heard. Nurses top trust rankings for a reason. Low Self Orientation. The second strongest factor. Hard to measure and impossible to bribe into existence. Fear drives self orientation. Freedom from fear frees you to focus on others. Scaling, Money, and the Uncomfortable Truth About Culture Charlie and Marcus tackle why trust based, customer centric selling so often collapses once a company grows beyond 100 or 200 people. Money permeates culture. Investors and boards often prioritise valuation over outcomes. This shifts intent and corrodes trust without anyone noticing. Ideology shapes behaviour. Modern management is built on economic beliefs that favour short term gains and things that are easy to measure. Mixed messages destroy conviction. Telling teams to “do the right thing” while driving absurd stretch targets creates confusion and cynicism. The Bill Green example. When the former Accenture CEO was challenged about incentives conflicting with doing the right thing, he told the room to do the right thing first, then fix the incentives later. That clarity changed the behaviour of forty senior leaders immediately. Practical Trust Based GTM Moves These are the actions Charles Green recommends leaders adopt straight away. Be transparent on price early. Withholding price to “build value” creates anxiety. Give a ballpark early to remove fear. Stop using discounts as currency. It destroys trust. Offer only standard, published discounts such as volume or non profit rates. Protect existing customers first. Expansion and net new wins come after that. Repeat business is far more profitable and far less stressful. Measure Time to Value, not NPS. Buyers rent an outcome. How quickly they reach it tells you more about your trustworthiness than a score. Build your trust muscle. Make many small promises and keep every one of them. It is astonishing how fast this compounds. Model the behaviour you want. Trust others first and show your workings. A simple line such as “I could be wrong, but it seems this is an issue. Is it?” creates space for honesty. Final Thoughts and What Happens Next Trust is built in tiny moments. Charlie encourages listeners to choose two or three insights, write them down, and let them settle into daily practice. Marcus points out that a 0.1 percent daily improvement compounds to roughly 30 percent over a year. The benefits start immediately. Listeners are invitated to join Sellers Anonymous, a community helping salespeople strengthen their trust muscle Subscribe to hear the next episode: Marcus and Charles will dissect how the Trust Equation applies to negotiation, objections, and winning second and third waves of business.   Links to books discussed Adam Smith Wealth of Nations The Theory of Moral Sentiments   Frederick Reichheld The Loyalty Effect   Peter Boghossian How to have impossible conversations Manual for creating atheists   Contacts Connect with Charlie on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/charleshgreen/ Connect with Marcus https://www.linkedin.com/in/marcuscauchi/ And if you'd like to be a guest contact me https://www.linkedin.com/in/suzannecauchi/

How to Prepare Your Home Services Business for a Successful Sale: Expert Insights from Joe Bergin of Commonwealth M&AIn this episode, host Josh Elledge interviews Joe Bergin, Co-founder of Commonwealth M&A, about how home services business owners—such as those in HVAC, plumbing, electrical, roofing, or landscaping—can prepare their companies for a successful sale. With his blend of blue-collar roots and M&A expertise, Joe shares how to transform years of hard work into a legacy-defining exit. He provides straightforward, actionable advice to help business owners position their companies for maximum value and long-term success.Preparing for the “Deal of a Lifetime”Joe explains that selling a home services business isn't something to rush—it's a process that ideally begins three to five years before you plan to exit. Investors are drawn to these companies for their recurring revenue, resilience, and workforce stability, but only if the business can operate independently of its owner. To increase your company's value, Joe recommends shifting from an owner-operator mindset to that of an asset manager—documenting systems, empowering leaders, and ensuring your business thrives without daily oversight.Financial clarity is equally vital. Moving from cash-based to accrual accounting and cleaning up your financial records gives buyers confidence and accurately reflects your company's true performance. Joe emphasizes the power of predictable, recurring revenue through maintenance contracts and service plans, which not only stabilize cash flow but also make your business more attractive to investors seeking long-term value.Ultimately, Joe's message is about intentional preparation. By treating your company as a scalable asset, investing in your people, and planning early, you'll attract premium buyers and secure better terms. With experienced advisors like Commonwealth M&A guiding the process, home services business owners can navigate the complexities of selling while protecting the legacy they've built.About Joe BerginJoe Bergin is the Co-founder of Commonwealth M&A, a boutique mergers and acquisitions firm that helps home services business owners plan and execute profitable exits. Combining blue-collar experience with corporate M&A strategy, Joe specializes in helping entrepreneurs turn their businesses into sellable assets that deliver maximum value and freedom.About Commonwealth M&ACommonwealth M&A is a boutique advisory firm serving small to mid-sized home services companies. By limiting the number of clients each year, they provide high-touch, customized support through every stage of the M&A process—from readiness assessment and valuation to negotiation, due diligence, and closing.
