Swings & Leaps,.. that's The Market, and that's Life. Every day the market shows you two movements: the Swing, where price pulls back, tests your patience, shakes out the weak hands… and the Leap, where conviction gets rewarded. Most people panic in the swing because they don't understand the process. They think the dip means failure, when really it's preparation. Same way in life—setbacks aren't signs you're losing, they're signals you're being positioned. If you quit in the swing, you never experience the leap. Spiritually,.. Faith is holding your position when everything looks red. It's trusting GOD's chart even when you don't like the candle. The leap only comes to those who stay disciplined, who understand that timing beats emotion. Life rewards those who can endure the volatility without abandoning the vision. The swing builds character. The leap builds legacy. Stay invested. Swings & Leaps | Wallstreet Trapper (Episode 173) Trappin TuesdaysJoin our Exclusive Patreon!!!

Israel Jiles reflects on his evolution from managing elite, high-volume establishments like Catch NYC and partnering with Montclair Hospitality Group (Ani Ramen) to founding his passion project, Po Boy Riche. The episode captures the pivotal moment around the one-hour mark where Jiles discusses the decision to leave the security of established hospitality groups to build something deeply personal.The discussion centers on the "uncompromising pursuit of authenticity"—from shipping legendary Leidenheimer bread directly from New Orleans to ensuring his beignets rival those of Café Du Monde. Jiles explains that Po Boy Riche isn't just a restaurant; it's a cultural bridge. He shares insights on the grit required to launch in the competitive Jersey City market, the importance of operational excellence learned in the "big leagues" of NYC dining, and his philosophy on community-centric business, exemplified by the restaurant's "Artist Wall."10 Takeaways The Power of Provenance: Authenticity isn't a buzzword, it's a logistics challenge. Jiles emphasizes that using authentic New Orleans French bread is non-negotiable for the brand's integrity. The Pivot to Purpose: Transitioning from high-end "trendy" dining to casual soul food requires a shift from selling status to selling comfort and heritage. Operational Rigor: His experience at Catch NYC provided the blueprint for scaling and maintaining consistency, even in a cozy 20-seat neighborhood spot. Strategic Partnerships: The collaboration with Chef Darrell Raymond (with 25+ years of experience) shows that even a "simple" sandwich shop benefits from high-caliber culinary leadership. Catering to Modern Palates: While rooted in tradition, Jiles highlights the necessity of inclusivity, offering vegan and gluten-free options like BBQ mushroom po' boys. Cultural Stewardship: He views his role as an ambassador of New Orleans culture, ensuring that the "debris-style" fries and chicory coffee are educational moments for customers. The "Leap of Faith": Around the 83-minute mark, Jiles addresses the psychological weight of leaving a successful corporate partnership to start from scratch. Community as Interior Design: By featuring local photographers on the "Artist Wall," the restaurant becomes a living gallery that belongs to the neighborhood. Marketing Through Tradition: Using "Big Game" catering and weekend brunches (like Hummingbird French Toast) creates multiple "entry points" for different customer demographics. The Mastery of Simplicity: The episode concludes that doing a few things perfectly (the po' boy, the beignet, the gumbo) is more impactful than an overextended menu.

“That is the fun part for me – being able to be pushed to my limits, be out there doing it with other strong women, working off each other, and having a great coach and support staff. That's so fun to me: the really, truly hard work. There's just so much I love about this sport and this team, but that's definitely how I would describe this first semester so far. It's just been so much fun. I'm really looking forward to building with this team and just continuing to work hard and make some memories.”My guest for today's episode is Jane Hedengren, and if the last few months are any indication, we're watching the very beginning of something special. She is one of the biggest breakout stars of 2025.Just two weeks after finishing runner-up at the NCAA Cross Country Championships as a true freshman at BYU, Jane stepped onto the track in Boston and ran 14:44.79 for 5,000 meters, shattering the collegiate record — indoor and outdoor — and immediately vaulting herself to No. 2 on the U.S. all-time list indoors.Jane came out of high school as one of the most decorated prep distance runners ever, becoming the first high school girl to break 15 minutes for 5,000 meters and setting nine national high school records along the way. She arrived at BYU this fall, dominated her collegiate cross country debut, won conference and regional titles, and then went toe-to-toe with Doris Lemngole at the NCAA Championships, finishing second on the biggest stage.In our conversation, Jane talks openly about gratitude, patience, and keeping expectations from overshadowing the joy of competition. She reflects on how her training has become more intentional under Coach Diljeet Taylor, why fueling more has been a game-changer, and how learning to race with a level head has helped her grow faster — and happier — at the same time.We also look ahead to the Millrose Games, where she'll line up in the 3,000 meters against Lemngole — a race that puts Katelyn Tuohy's 8:35.20 collegiate record firmly on watch — and what it means to develop inside a program that prioritizes long-term growth over short-term results.____________Host: Chris Chavez | @chris_j_chavez on InstagramGuest: Jane Hedengren | @janehedengren on Instagram Produced by: Jasmine Fehr | @jasminefehr on Instagram____________SUPPORT OUR SPONSORSNOMIO: Made with 80% broccoli sprout juice, 15% lemon juice, and 5% sugar, Nomio activates your body's natural defense systems to reduce lactate, speed recovery, and enhance muscle adaptation.

Public schools are mandated to provide educational opportunities to all students and generally work very hard to support learners with profound deficits or differences. But what about learners who require enrichment rather than accommodations? Amy and Mike invited Kenneth Shores to examine the question of what public education owes to advanced students. What are five things you will learn in this episode? In theory, what is the purpose of public education? Why has public education struggled to support advanced students? Does harm occur when enrichment is withheld from thriving students? Why shouldn't families be responsible for providing enrichment? How does supporting advanced students align with the purpose of public education? MEET OUR GUEST Dr. Kenneth A. Shores is an associate professor specializing in education policy in the School of Education at the University of Delaware, and he is affiliated with the UD Center for Research in Education and Social Policy. His research is focused on educational inequality and encompasses both descriptive and causal inference. To this end, his work addresses racial/ethnic and socioeconomic disparities in test scores, school disciplinary policy, classification systems, and school resources. In addition, he has examined how improvements to school finance systems can reduce educational inequality and how vulnerabilities in school finance systems can contribute to it. Dr. Shores was a National Academy of Education/Spencer Dissertation Fellow, a Philanthropy and Civic Society Fellow, a Stanford Graduate Fellow, and an Institute of Education Sciences (IES) Predoctoral Fellow. In 2018, he was the co-recipient of the National Council on Measurement in Education's Annual Award for exceptional achievement in educational measurement. He received his Ph.D. in education policy analysis from Stanford University. Prior to graduate school, he was a middle school teacher on the Navajo Nation.

What would change if you had unshakeable self-worth? If judgment fell away and you tended to yourself with pure compassion, what version of self would come forward?In this episode—a continuation of our Inner Child Phases series—Lacy, Jessica, and LMFT EMDR Therapist Janelle explore the final three stages of inner child development: Creativity & Play (ages 3-5), Confidence & Competence (ages 5-3), and Authentic Identity & Belonging (ages 13-21). These foundational years are where your creativity, passion, and your truest, weirdest self come into being.For many of us, this is also where shame, conditioning, and “shoulds” begin to hide our light. This challenge is designed to restore a sense of safety, nurturing, and self-trust—so you can reconnect with who you've always been (and were always meant to be).A reminder for whoever needs it: you're allowed to play for play's sake. To slow down, create beauty, and experience joy simply because it feels good. When you quiet the inner critic and reconnect with curiosity and creativity, you give your inner child permission to live in their truth.It's time to return to your magic. **Trigger warning: We discuss healing from sexual abuse and trauma from 48:00 through 50:40**Find the complete show notes here -> https://tobemagnetic.com/expanded-podcast Resources: New Year Sale!Take advantage of this miracle portal and join The Pathway to manifest your dream life in 2026!

AI isn't arriving—it's already here. But the firms that will benefit most aren't the ones chasing the next headline—they're the ones learning to apply the technology with strategy and intention. In this episode of The FutureProof Advisor, I explore how the narrative around AI is shifting—from abstract potential to practical, day-to-day impact. Whether it's the way firms handle cybersecurity, how clients interpret AI-generated advice, or why most companies fail to get ROI from their AI investments, the gap between promise and real performance is narrowing fast.The conversation focuses on how firms can move past experimentation and into transformation. That starts with rethinking workflows—not just adding tools to outdated systems. I share research on AI perception from the LEAP initiative, a breakdown of OpenAI's new Atlas browser, and a lesson from cybersecurity that reinforces how these tools can either amplify risks or unlock resilience, depending on how you engage with them. The takeaway: true advantage comes not from the technology itself, but from how thoughtfully it's embedded into your business.This episode is about moving beyond reaction. It's a framework for wealth managers and firm leaders who want to navigate the AI landscape with clarity, not noise. Because in a space where everyone's “trying AI,” the differentiators will be integration, trust, and execution.

What can Bobby Fischer still teach us about chess improvement? In this episode, renowned trainer, author, and historian IM John Donaldson returns to discuss Fischer's writing, advice, and training methods, as featured in his new book Inside the Mind of Bobby Fischer. We explore Fischer's views on openings, what he said about his own IQ, and what modern players can realistically take from his approach. I was particularly interested to hear John break down how Fischer went from roughly 2100 strength to an elite player in less than two years. After our Fischer deep dive, John shares his memories of a young Daniel Naroditsky and discusses the outlook for the next U.S. Olympiad team, which he has captained 15 times.

Fluent Fiction - Swedish: Courage Under Snow: Lars's Leap on Lappland Slopes Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/sv/episode/2025-12-15-08-38-20-sv Story Transcript:Sv: Snön låg tjock och mjuk över landskapet i Lappland.En: The snow lay thick and soft over the landscape in Lappland.Sv: En rad glittervita tallar kantade vägarna där en buss full av förväntansfulla elever rullade fram.En: A row of glittery white pines lined the roads where a bus full of excited students rolled forward.Sv: Det var en speciell resa – en skolutflykt till snöiga backar för att fira vinterlovet.En: It was a special trip – a school excursion to snowy slopes to celebrate the winter break.Sv: Lars satt vid fönstret och tittade ut med både spänning och oro i blicken.En: Lars sat by the window and looked out with both excitement and anxiety in his eyes.Sv: Han älskade snön, men tanken på att snowboarda framför sina vänner, och framför allt Emma, gjorde honom nervös.En: He loved the snow, but the thought of snowboarding in front of his friends, especially Emma, made him nervous.Sv: Emma var söt och självsäker.En: Emma was sweet and confident.Sv: Hon satt två rader framför Lars, pratade och skrattade tillsammans med Nils.En: She sat two rows in front of Lars, talking and laughing with Nils.Sv: Nils älskade snowboarding och hade redan erfarenhet av de mest utmanande backarna.En: Nils loved snowboarding and already had experience with the most challenging slopes.Sv: Lars kände ett behov av att visa sig modig och duktig som Nils.En: Lars felt a need to show himself as brave and skilled like Nils.Sv: Men visst, han vågade knappt erkänna för sig själv att han var mer redo för nybörjarbackarna.En: But surely, he barely dared to admit to himself that he was more ready for the beginner slopes.Sv: Bussen stannade vid stugorna där eleverna skulle bo.En: The bus stopped at the cabins where the students would stay.Sv: Karl och Anna tog emot dem med varma leenden, båda lärare och ansvariga för resan.En: Karl and Anna welcomed them with warm smiles, both teachers responsible for the trip.Sv: Snart stod alla i sina snökläder, redo att ge sig av.En: Soon everyone stood in their snow gear, ready to set off.Sv: "Vilken backe ska vi börja med?"En: "Which slope should we start with?"Sv: frågade Emma, vänd mot Lars och Nils.En: asked Emma, turning to Lars and Nils.Sv: Nils log självsäkert, "Jag tänkte ta den svarta pist med en gång.En: Nils smiled confidently, "I was thinking of taking the black piste right away.Sv: Du då, Lars?En: What about you, Lars?Sv: Ska du med?"En: Are you coming?"Sv: Lars tog ett djupt andetag.En: Lars took a deep breath.Sv: "Visst, jag hänger på," svarade han, hoppades att hans osäkerhet inte syntes.En: "Sure, I'll join," he replied, hoping his insecurity didn't show.Sv: De började åka ner för den svåraste backen.En: They started down the most challenging slope.Sv: Snön piskade i ansiktet och vinden hulkade runt dem.En: The snow whipped at their faces and the wind howled around them.Sv: Plötsligt sänkte sig en snöstorm över dem, vilket gjorde sikten dålig.En: Suddenly, a snowstorm descended upon them, making visibility poor.Sv: Emma ropade, "Lars, är du okej?"En: Emma shouted, "Lars, are you okay?"Sv: Handvid knät, Lars lutade sig framåt och kämpade med balansen på det svåra underlaget.En: Hand to his knee, Lars leaned forward, struggling with his balance on the difficult surface.Sv: "Ja, det är bara lite svårt att se," ljög han.En: "Yeah, it's just a bit hard to see," he lied.Sv: Plötsligt, ett ögonblick av panik.En: Suddenly, a moment of panic.Sv: Emma förlorade balansen och stupade framåt i snön.En: Emma lost her balance and tumbled forward into the snow.Sv: Lars reagerade instinktivt, stannade och hjälpte henne upp.En: Lars reacted instinctively, stopped, and helped her up.Sv: "Tack, Lars," sa hon och såg på honom med tacksamhet.En: "Thanks, Lars," she said, looking at him with gratitude.Sv: Stormen gjorde backen ännu mer förrädiskt.En: The storm made the slope even more treacherous.Sv: Men trots sina egna rädslor ledde Lars dem sakta och metodiskt neråt, var mer uppmärksam på alla detaljer längs vägen.En: But despite his own fears, Lars led them slowly and methodically downward, more attentive to every detail along the way.Sv: Efter vad som kändes som en evighet nådde de äntligen platsen där de andra eleverna samlats, säkert men avkylda.En: After what felt like an eternity, they finally reached the spot where the other students had gathered, safe but chilled.Sv: Nils kom rusande mot dem med en blick av lättnad.En: Nils came rushing toward them with a look of relief.Sv: "Jag var orolig att ni råkat illa ut.En: "I was worried you might have gotten into trouble.Sv: Bra jobbat, Lars!"En: Good job, Lars!"Sv: Med en nyfunnen säkerhet i sig själv log Lars tillbaka.En: With newfound confidence in himself, Lars smiled back.Sv: "Tack, vi klarade det tillsammans."En: "Thanks, we made it together."Sv: När kvällen sänkte sig satt Lars och Emma tillsammans inomhus, blickande ut mot snöflingorna som föll tyst.En: As evening fell, Lars and Emma sat together indoors, gazing out at the snowflakes falling silently.Sv: Det var ingen återstå för att imponera, ingen grund för bekymmer kvar.En: There was no need left to impress, no basis for worry remaining.Sv: Lars hade bevisat för sig själv det som verkligen betydde något.En: Lars had proven to himself what really mattered.Sv: Emma såg på honom och log.En: Emma looked at him and smiled.Sv: "Du är modig, Lars," sa hon med värme.En: "You're brave, Lars," she said warmly.Sv: Där och då, i det rofyllda vintermörkret, förstod Lars att detta var början på en vänskap och att han inte behövde vara något annat än sig själv.En: There and then, in the tranquil winter darkness, Lars understood that this was the beginning of a friendship and that he didn't need to be anything other than himself.

What if everything we think we know about AI understanding is wrong? Is compression the key to intelligence? Or is there something more—a leap from memorization to true abstraction? In this fascinating conversation, we sit down with **Professor Yi Ma**—world-renowned expert in deep learning, IEEE/ACM Fellow, and author of the groundbreaking new book *Learning Deep Representations of Data Distributions*. Professor Ma challenges our assumptions about what large language models actually do, reveals why 3D reconstruction isn't the same as understanding, and presents a unified mathematical theory of intelligence built on just two principles: **parsimony** and **self-consistency**.**SPONSOR MESSAGES START**—Prolific - Quality data.
