Laura Martin from Needham explains why she downgraded Apple (AAPL) to Hold from Buy. “There's real risks to their earnings,” she emphasizes, with the Epic Games judgment against them and other DOJ threats. She also discusses OpenAI's burgeoning efforts to “replace smartphones,” partnering with Jony Ive, who used to design all of Apple's phones. Even though Apple has a moat, she says that doesn't prevent demise, only slows it. “This stock doesn't work” without an iPhone cycle this year, she argues.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

What if every superhero and pulp fiction universe was condensed down into one universe, which was also the Wildstorm Universe? The Planetary team uncovers the secret history of their world and, in the process, performs a metatextual analysis on genre comics. But to what end? With one fan of the series and one hater on board, we debate whether Planetary restores a sense of wonder to superheroes and has anything insightful to say about them, or whether it's just more guys with powers vying for control of the universe while making snarky comments to each other. We'll also gush over John Cassaday and Laura Martin's art, discuss the difference between pastiche and archetypes, and consider how the comics industry evolved over the course of the series' highly delayed run. This episode was recorded before John Cassaday's passing. A brief introduction at the top of the show, recorded more recently, contextualizes how we ultimately decided to release this episode. This episode also discusses allegations about Warren Ellis and the question of whether to revisit his work at all surrounding those allegations.

About the Guest: Laura Martin is the Executive Productivity Advisor at Google and the author of the book, Uptime: A Practical Guide to Personal Productivity and Wellbeing. She started her career at Google, where she taught people how to manage their inbox effectively. This passion grew into a full-time role, and she now works with executives one-on-one and runs the productivity program at Google. Laura is the author of the book. Episode Summary: In this episode, I interview Laura Mae Martin, a productivity expert and author, about the importance of setting boundaries with technology and creating systems to enhance productivity. Laura shares her personal experience of implementing a tech-free evening once a week and the positive impact it has had on her overall well-being. She also discusses the various systems she has put in place to minimize distractions and maximize focus, such as setting up email labels and notifications, using wearable devices, and customizing her digital environment. The conversation delves into the challenges of technology addiction and the need for intentional use of devices to align with personal priorities. Key Takeaways: Implementing a tech-free evening once a week can provide a much-needed break from constant connectivity and allow for quality time with loved ones. Creating systems and setting boundaries with technology can help minimize distractions and increase focus on essential tasks. Customizing email labels and notifications can help prioritize important messages and reduce the overwhelm of a cluttered inbox. Using wearable devices can provide a way to stay connected without getting caught up in the distractions of a smartphone. Taking control of personal intention and being intentional about technology use can empower individuals to make conscious choices and maintain a healthy work-life balance. Notable Quotes: "Your intention is your only power that you carry. If you are applying intention to the way you use that device, to the way that you use your time, all of those things become your control." - Laura Martin "No tool is going to solve all your problems. People are looking for the hottest new productivity tool. No device is going to be your biggest problem. It's always about how you are using your own intention, your own systems within all of those things, that makes the biggest difference in your overall well-being and your productivity." - Laura Martin Resources: Laura Martin's website Laura Martin on LinkedIn Join my weekly newsletter.

She started her career at Google, where she taught people how to manage their inbox effectively. This passion grew into a full-time role, and she now works with executives one-on-one and runs the productivity program at Google. Laura is the author of the book. Episode Summary: In this episode, Greg McKeown interviews Laura Martin, a productivity expert at Google. They discuss the importance of aligning your current self with your future self and making decisions that your future self will thank you for. Laura shares practical tips on how to apply this concept in your daily life, such as reviewing your schedule and making adjustments to prioritize what truly matters. They also delve into the power of defining your top three priorities and aligning your calendar with those priorities. Laura shares insights from her work with executives, including the CEO of Warner Music Group, who successfully implemented this system. The episode concludes with a discussion on the courage to be rubbish and the importance of making strategic trade-offs to focus on what truly matters. Key Takeaways: Aligning your current self with your future self is crucial for living a fulfilling life. Ask yourself, "What will future me wish I had done right now?" to make decisions that prioritize what truly matters. Defining your top three priorities and aligning your calendar with those priorities helps you focus on what truly matters. Communicate these priorities to your team and delegate tasks accordingly. Use the rule of three to remember and prioritize information. Our brains seek patterns and grouping things in threes helps with memory and focus. Saying no is essential to protect your time and energy. Ask yourself, "What is the worst thing that would happen if I never do this?" and consider if there are alternative ways to accomplish the task or if it can be half-done and moved on from. Embrace the courage to be rubbish and make strategic trade-offs. Not everything needs to be perfect or optimized. Focus on what truly matters and let go of non-essential tasks. Notable Quotes: "What will future me wish I had done right now?" - Laura Martin "Don't tell me your priorities, show me your calendar." - Laura Martin Resources: Laura Martin's website Laura Martin on LinkedIn Join my weekly newsletter.

We need to restore our own ecology.That doesn't just mean fencing off parts of the earth into “nature conservation” spaces because, as this week's guest Laura Martin points out, what does that say about the space on the other side of the fence? That human spaces are unnatural? Or that they don't deserve to be protected?Laura is an environmental historian, Assistant Professor of Environmental Studies at Williams College, and author of the extraordinary book, Wild by Design: The Rise of Ecological Restoration. She joins me to discuss how policies create crises, not just abstract notions of neoliberalism, fossil-fuelled capitalism, and industrialisation. She says that environmental policies offer us alternatives to our present. So which ones can we use to build a world that protects both ourselves and the species with whom we share this planet? We then discuss at length the difference between conservation and restoration, with ecological restoration—rewilding—offering a politics of care that sees humanity collaborate with fellow species to promote ecological well-being everywhere, from the grasslands to the inner city. © Rachel DonaldPlanet: Critical is 100% independent and community-powered.

Your heroes are back to give their first impressions on Fear Itself!  This spoiler free convo covers what comic we're reading, who we think should read it, and we judge the book by its cover."Captain America, Thor, Iron Man and the Avengers are Earth's Mightiest Heroes - but even they know fear. And when a powerful and ancient evil overtakes our world, each hero must make a sacrifice to save the Earth. But as the Serpent's mystical hammers transform friend and foe alike into unstoppable agents of destruction, as terror takes hold and the Serpent's power grows, as Odin prepares to burn the Earth to cinders to save his people - it's not these sacrifices the Avengers fear. It's the knowledge that no matter what price they pay, this battle may be unwinnable. Heroes will fall, gods will die, and fear will rule the day - as the hammer falls!"Fear Itself is written by Matt Fraction, pencilled by Stuart Immonen, inked by Wade Von Grawbadger, colored by Laura Martin, and published by Marvel Comics.Follow ComiClub on Instagram @ComiClubPodcast.ComiClub is hosted by Blaine McGaffigan and Adam Cook.

The idea that nature is something outside of society hampers practical solutions to restoring it, says Laura Martin, associate professor of environmental studies at Williams College. On this episode of the Mongabay Newscast, co-host Rachel Donald speaks with Martin about the restoration vs. preservation debate, and why Martin says a focus on the former is the way to address the biodiversity crisis. Martin defines restoration as “an attempt to design nature with non-human collaborators,” which she details in her book Wild by Design: The Rise of Ecological Restoration.
