#666: In this First Friday economic update, we explore the paradox defining our current economy: record-breaking retail numbers alongside plummeting consumer confidence. In this First Friday economic update, we explore the paradox defining our current economy: we're spending more than ever, while feeling worse about money than we have in years. The Bureau of Labor Statistics hasn't released jobs data for two consecutive months. The Federal Reserve must make a critical interest rate decision flying blind. Meanwhile, private sector data reveals troubling trends. Small businesses are hemorrhaging jobs while discount chains like Dollar General see their stock prices soar 44%. Americans are spending differently this holiday season. They're shopping earlier, using AI to find deals, and turning to buy-now-pay-later options. Households are spending less than last year, yet total spending increases because more people are participating. This K-shaped recovery benefits luxury retailers and bargain stores while crushing the middle market. We also cover essential year-end financial moves. From maximizing retirement contributions to tax-loss harvesting strategies, we help you navigate your personal finances amid economic uncertainty. The disconnect between what the numbers say – and how people feel – reveals deeper truths about an economy that's technically growing while leaving many behind.

The service industry is entering a major correction — and most entrepreneurs have no idea what's coming.Across the country, service prices have skyrocketed while customer satisfaction and perceived value have stayed the same. Haircuts, cleaning services, videography, coaching, design, consulting — almost every service-based business is charging more but delivering the same thing.And now the market is pushing back.Customers are cutting expenses. Jobs are being eliminated. Household budgets are shrinking. Subscriptions are getting canceled. Loyalty no longer exists in this new economy.

Many of our beloved feline pets love a good, long, lazy snooze. But there are quite a few across the country who have jobs, which they take pretty seriously. 

We get an update on Abby since she announced she was engaged on how the response has been. We debate whether or not we should get her an engagement gift. We also talked about how to figure out a woman's ring size without her knowing for the holidays. We give a caller a chance to win a prize in Poison Pill Trivia. All they have to do is pick the person who they think can do the BEST at their WORST category. Eddie in Math Trivia, Lunchbox in Music Trivia or Morgan at 80s Trivia.

No matter where you sit within the economy, whether you're a CEO or an entry level worker, everyone's feeling uneasy about AI and the future of work. Uncertainty about career paths, job security, and life planning makes thinking about the future anxiety inducing. In this episode, Daniel Barcay sits down with two experts on AI and work to examine what's actually happening in today's labor market and what's likely coming in the near-term. We explore the crucial question: Can we create conditions for AI to enrich work and careers, or are we headed toward widespread economic instability? Ethan Mollick is a professor at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, where he studies innovation, entrepreneurship, and the future of work. He's the author of Co-Intelligence: Living and Working with AI.Molly Kinder is a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution, where she researches the intersection of AI, work, and economic opportunity. She recently led research with the Yale Budget Lab examining AI's real-time impact on the labor market. RECOMMENDED MEDIACo-Intelligence: Living and Working with AI by Ethan MollickFurther reading on Molly's study with the Yale Budget LabThe “Canaries in the Coal Mine” Study from Stanford's Digital Economy LabEthan's substack One Useful Thing RECOMMENDED YUA EPISODESIs AI Productivity Worth Our Humanity? with Prof. Michael SandelWe Have to Get It Right': Gary Marcus On Untamed AIAI Is Moving Fast. We Need Laws that Will Too.Tech's Big Money Campaign is Getting Pushback with Margaret O'Mara and Brody Mullins CORRECTIONSEthan said that in 2022, experts believed there was a 2.5% chance that ChatGPT would be able to win the Math Olympiad. However, that was only among forecasters with more general knowledge (the exact number was 2.3%). Among domain expert forecasters, the odds were an 8.6% chance.Ethan claimed that over 50% of Americans say that they're using AI at work. We weren't able to independently verify this claim and most studies we found showed lower rates of reported use of AI with American workers. There are reports from other countries, notably Denmark, which show higher rates of AI use.Ethan indirectly quoted the Walmart CEO Doug McMillon as having a goal to “keep all 3 million employees and to figure out new ways to expand what they use.” In fact, McMillon's language on AI has been much softer, saying that “AI is expected to create a number of jobs at Walmart, which will offset those that it replaces.” Additionally, Walmart has 2.1 million employees, not 3.

The employment picture remains hazy and sluggish, says Charles Schwab's Joe Mazzola, though he tells investors it's not quite as a "snail's pace." He turns to data where he sees a rebound. Joe urges attention to small caps, especially if the Fed continues to lower interest rates. Sticking with the FOMC, Mike Townsend believes dissenting votes are expected to continue as "drama" continues around the Trump administration and who it wants on the committee. He also tells investors what he's watching in Congress's "stumble" toward the end of 2025 to avoid another government shutdown. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

In today's show, we break down the latest disappointing jobs data and what it really signals beneath the headlines. The labor market just threw the Fed a curveball—and it may be exactly the kind of weakness that pushes Jerome Powell and the Federal Reserve toward a rate cut next week. We'll unpack why the numbers matter, how traders should interpret the shift in employment momentum, and what this means for equities, bonds, and—yes—crypto as well. If you're trying to position ahead of the Fed's next move, this episode gives you the institutional framework you need. Listen now:

Guy Kawasaki has had an amazing life and career.  After growing up in Hawaii, he went to California for college and later went on to what was then known as Apple Computer where he was a self-described "brand evangelist" during some of their highest growth and most entrepreneurial years.  He describes Steve Jobs as being optimistic almost to the point of being delusional, and working for him has inspired Guy to be interested in mold-breaking people ever since, hence the name of his popular podcast, Remarkable People. He has also written 17 books on a variety of subjects, his latest being Wiser Guy, which was released earlier this year.    Chapters: 00:00 Welcome to Blue Sky  Bill Burke introduces Guy Kawasaki as a remarkable guest on Blue Sky, highlighting Guy's background as chief evangelist at Apple and Canva, and his extensive writing. Guy shares his preference for being a podcast guest due to less prep work, contrasting with the host's five-hour preparation time.  03:10 From Hawaii to Stanford  Guy recounts his childhood in Kalihi Valley, a lower-middle-income part of Hawaii, and how a public school teacher's advice led him to a private school, then Stanford. He describes feeling immediately at home at Stanford in 1972, despite it being pre-tech, and the campus's amazing atmosphere.  06:17 Apple, Steve Jobs & the 1984 Ad  Guy discusses his two stints at Apple, particularly his time in the Macintosh division under Steve Jobs from 1983 to 1987. He reveals the Macintosh team's mission to preserve democracy and freedom through computing and shares the behind-the-scenes story of the iconic 1984 Super Bowl ad, which the board initially wanted to pull.  11:49 Evangelizing Apple & Sales Skills  Guy details how Apple evangelized its new operating system in the 1980s through fervor rather than just money, contrasting with the corporate image of IBM. He also shares his 'checkered past' of dropping out of medical, dental, and law school, leading him to an MBA and invaluable sales experience in the jewelry business, which he considers essential.  17:02 Steve Jobs: Visionary & Demanding  Guy describes working for Steve Jobs as the most formative experience of his career, calling Jobs a visionary and passionate, albeit demanding and intimidating, leader. He emphasizes that Jobs was a 'mission-driven egoist' who cared only about making the best computer, disregarding personal biases like race or gender.  23:01 Remarkable People Podcast Origins  Guy explains his decision to start the 'Remarkable People' podcast, initially inspired by the lucrative ad model of another podcaster, and his realization that his access to remarkable individuals and business experience uniquely positioned him. He highlights the strategic advantage of having prominent guests like Jane Goodall to attract others.  30:08 Jane Goodall: A Source of Hope  Guy recounts his personal connection to Jane Goodall, stemming from a TEDx interview, and how she became his first podcast guest. He describes her as the most remarkable person he's interviewed, embodying hope and tireless dedication to her cause, even declining a rest offer at 90 due to 'too much to do.'  36:30 Optimism as a Strategic Advantage  Guy discusses optimism as a strategic advantage, asserting that it's crucial for achieving anything significant, combining realism with the belief that challenges can be overcome. He shares his experiences of taking up ice hockey at 44 and surfing at 60, attributing it to a 'growth mindset' and the belief that one is never too old to learn new things.

On the latest episode of Workplace Stories, we sit down with Koreen Pagano, author of "Building a Skills-Based Organization," to talk about one of the hottest and most complex topics in the world of work: how organizations can become truly skills-based, and what that really means in today's rapidly changing, AI-driven landscape. The conversation was loaded with practical insights, candid stories, and wisdom from the front lines of workforce transformation.Koreen shares her journey from ed-tech and product leadership to guiding hundreds of organizations through the maze of skills transformation. We discuss the crucial front-of-house and back-of-house elements, from clear communication and partnership models to building the right data and technology infrastructure. You'll hear fresh perspectives on using skills data as an early signal for retention, the shifting role of tasks versus skills, and what it means to future-proof your workforce for ongoing change. You will want to hear this episode if you are interested in...[05:17] Skills vs job architecture approaches.[10:04] Navigating skills-based organizations.[14:33] Workforce data challenges with AI.[23:04] Skills over jobs for strategy.[27:04] Building resilient data systems.[34:33] Building trust in skill data.[39:32] Predicting employee retention through data.[45:59] Helping organizations align AI transformation with business goals.Why Skills Still Matter in a “Task-Talk” WorldThere's a persistent misconception that the age of “skills” has passed and that “tasks” offer a more practical lens, especially with AI in play. Koreen shares how, at a recent industry event, she heard professionals say, “We don't need to worry about skills, we have to focus on tasks.” But she thinks that it's misguided to abandon skills just when organizations are barely starting to understand and leverage them.While tasks describe the work to be done, skills reflect the underlying human (and sometimes machine) capabilities that make that work possible. Both are crucial, but without a foundational understanding of your organization's skills, mapping tasks is like building on sand.Front of House, Back of House, and Getting Skills RightWe need to balance “front of house” and “back of house” considerations when building a skills-based organization. Organizations often focus either on external communications, partnerships, and culture (front of house), or purely on technology, data, and infrastructure (back of house), but rarely both. Koreen is unique in straddling the two, and it's this holistic approach, blending people and process with tech and data, that sets successful organizations apart.The Evolution of Data and the Rise of Skills VerificationOrganizations are beginning to realize that their skills data isn't just about upskilling or reskilling; it's tightly connected to business-critical outcomes like retention, performance, and the ability to adapt to market shifts. Koreen shares compelling examples of using skills data to provide early warning on issues like employee retention, demonstrating data-driven HR in action.She also shared her pragmatic “3Vs” model for validating skills data: Validity (how well the data measures what it claims to), Variety (different types of data from varied sources), and Volume (quantity and frequency of data collected). You can make solid business decisions with basic self-reported skills data, but for higher-stakes calls, like hiring, you need much more rigorous, validated information.Jobs, Skills, and the Trap of Static StructuresOften, organizations anchor their skills strategy to their job architecture. Consultants and technology vendors frequently push companies to start by mapping skills to static jobs. We discuss why this is a dangerous place to “end”, because jobs, roles, and the tasks that define them are changing faster than ever, especially with AI in the mix. Koreen advocates for designing skills data that is flexible, lives independently, and can be mapped to jobs and tasks as they evolve, never becoming held hostage by legacy structures.Goals Over TasksPerhaps the most powerful call to action was the need to focus less on micromanaging the “how” (a long list of tasks) and more on the “what and why”, the goals, outcomes, and genuine business objectives. In a future where work is constantly shifting, organizations that empower people around purpose, supported by dynamic skills data, will outperform those stuck mapping today's tasks to yesterday's job charts.Building a skills-based organization isn't a project with a tidy endpoint, it's a transformation. As Koreen reminds us, it's hard, messy, and as much about culture as it is about data. But for the organizations (and the people) willing to experiment, adapt, and keep skills at the center of strategy, the payoff is a workforce that's ready for whatever comes next. Resources & People MentionedBuilding the Skills-Based Organization: A Blueprint for Transformation by Koreen Pagano Connect with Koreen PaganoKoreen Pagano on LinkedIn Connect With Red Thread ResearchWebsite: Red Thread ResearchOn LinkedInOn FacebookOn TwitterSubscribe to WORKPLACE STORIES

The Hidden Lightness with Jimmy Hinton – The catalyst for this discussion is Elon Musk's recent claim: within the next 10 to 20 years, advancements in artificial intelligence will render many human jobs obsolete, making work fundamentally optional for Americans. This prediction forces a critical, immediate question upon our capitalist society: if AI and robotics take over the bulk of wealth generation...

The melt-up economy isn't a victory lap, it's the part of the horror movie where everyone thinks the monster is gone because the music gets quiet. Markets keep ripping, consumers keep spending money they don't have, and the Fed is out here pretending their “pivot” wasn't telegraphed like an amateur magician revealing the trick before the reveal. And meanwhile, everyone's acting shocked that AI is destroying jobs when we've been screaming for a year that replacing humans with silicon brains might come with a little collateral damage.➡️ But sure... recession? “What recession?” That's the vibe. America is basically stress-shopping its way through warning signs big enough to put on billboards. Confidence surveys are collapsing, savings are gone, debt is exploding, and the only thing holding this whole Jenga tower up is hope… and hope is not a strategy we endorse. If a soft landing actually happens, it'll be the first miracle the Fed has pulled off without breaking something in the process. Buckle up because the data says there is turbulence ahead, even if the captain keeps smiling.

Look out – the corporate cat is out of the bag!This particular “cat” is the fast-metastasizing software technology called “artificial intelligence.” A cadre of multibillion-dollar high-tech giants have surreptitiously been advancing AI for a couple of decades, literally creating a new, autonomous species of thinking beings. These are computer-powered humanoid bots, increasingly-able to do the intellectual, creative, managerial, and other complex jobs that millions of human beings now do.The billionaire pushers of this brave new bot economy know that this amounts to placing a neutron bomb in the American workplace, so they have intentionally lied about its job-obliterating impact. However, after years of hush-hush development, the AI technology is now so advanced and the corporate investment in it is so gargantuan that the perpetrators no longer care what the public thinks.This year, Amazon, Google, Meta, Microsoft, Oracle, and other Silicon Valley oligarchs have been feverishly dumping hundreds of billions of dollars each into a global corporate gold rush to supplant humans with AI bots in practically every economic sector. They expect to automate half of all entry-level white-collar jobs within five years. And one Silicon Valley outfit (bluntly named “Mechanize”) calculates that its plan “to fully automate work” can be acheived within 30 years. Indeed, BotWorld is now urging today's AI technology to create super-intelligent systems that can out-think humans. Yes – bots themselves are working to produce more powerful bots to speed up AI's bot takeover of work.This is Jim Hightower saying… If you think that, surely, this isn't really happening, note that Trump's GOP Congress recently imposed a 10-year ban on any state laws attempting to regulate AI. Just unleash the bots… and see what happens.Jim Hightower's Lowdown is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.
