Beppe Severgnini, author of Italian Lessons: 50 Things We Know About Life Now, reflects on Italy's experience as the first Western nation struck by the COVID-19 pandemic. Centered in his hometown of Crema, the narrative begins with a symbolic 13th-century crucifix in the local cathedral, a historical touchstone that comforted ancestors during plagues in 1630 and 1747. During the 2020 crisis, the community witnessed modern interventions, such as an Italian army field hospital built in three days and the arrival of Cuban medical teams to assist overwhelmed local doctors. The book outlines 50 lessons derived from Italian life, emphasizing cultural strengths like the "Five Fs": Family, Food, Fashion, Fantasy, and Feelings. Severgnini highlights the nation's social fabric, where spontaneous networks of volunteers ensured no elderly person was left without food or medicine during the lockdown. He also explores Italy's diverse urban identities, categorizing cities as narrative (Milan, Turin), poetic (Trieste, Genoa), or theatrical (Naples). Beyond the crisis, the book celebrates the artisan's gift for "thinking with their hands" and the enduring "Dolce Vita," a lifestyle where individuals are truly seen and valued. Ultimately, the work portrays a society rooted in ancient history but capable of profound modern adaptation. (1)1918 SPANISH FLU PANDEMIC TRAINING

Parenting doesn't come with a manual, and for ambitious entrepreneurs, balancing career success with family life can feel like an impossible challenge. In this solo episode, Travis Chappell reflects on parenting lessons he's gathered from conversations with world-class guests including Joe Gatto, Jordan Harbinger, and Shaquille O'Neal, while sharing his own experiences as a father. He explores why success at work shouldn't come at the expense of your family—and why giving up on your dreams isn't the answer either. On this episode we talk about: Why work-life balance is less about balance and more about recognizing different seasons of life. The danger of telling yourself you're working "for your family" while sacrificing meaningful time with them. Lessons on presence and intentional parenting from Joe Gatto, Jordan Harbinger, and Shaquille O'Neal. How your daily habits teach your children what relationships, priorities, and success look like. Practical ways to be fully present both at work and at home without feeling guilty. Top 3 Takeaways Success and great parenting aren't mutually exclusive. The goal isn't choosing work or family—it's being fully present wherever you are. Children value your attention more than your achievements. Small moments of undivided time often matter more than expensive experiences or material success. Pursue your own dreams while investing intentionally in your family. Both your career and your relationships require deliberate effort, and neglecting either creates long-term consequences. Notable Quotes "Wherever your feet are, be there." "Your kids don't care. They just want to spend some time with you." "Protect, provide, and love. Two out of three isn't enough."

The Covid 19 pandemic disrupted every aspect of life: education, health, work… and religion. New research collates the experience of faith communities and how they engaged with the state. Have churches learned the lessons from the pandemic? Professor Gladys Ganiel coauthored the reports, and is joined in the studio by Rev John Alderdice (part of the Methodist Church's response group), Dr Naomi Green (the assistant general secretary of the Muslim Council of Britain), and Father Tim Bartlett(who represented northern Bishops on the faith forum).Christopher Nolan's epic film based on Homer's epic Odyssey poem is enjoying box office success. The Guardian's Charlotte Higgins tells why she fell in love with the poem as a teenager and considers how far modern moral sensibilities should influence the adaption of classics.And Sunday Sequence remembers Bryan Gallagher, whose distinctive voice and gifted storytelling delighted radio audiences. Father Brian D'Arcy reflects on the death of his friend and we listen back to Audrey's conversation with Bryan back in 2020 when he reflected on his life and what he might change if he had the chance to do it again.

The future isn't hidden. It hasn't been written yet. That idea anchors this foundational conversation between Dave Dredge, Richard Brennan and Niels Kaastrup-Larsen, on what risk really means in markets. They challenge the mathematics behind modern portfolio construction, exposing how calm conditions can conceal leverage, how diversification can fail when it matters most, and why familiar measures such as volatility and Sharpe ratios often miss the forces that lead to permanent loss. From path dependency and complex adaptive systems to trend following, convexity and the geometry of wealth, this episode offers a different framework for investing under uncertainty. For anyone responsible for preserving and compounding capital, this is essential listening. Because the strongest portfolio is not the one built around being right, but the one prepared to survive being wrong.-----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 Rich on Twitter.Follow David on LinkedIn.Episode TimeStamps:00:00 - Market review, July performance and introducing Dave Dredge08:01 - Why markets are complex adaptive systems18:49 - Price insensitive investors and the hidden drivers of markets26:03 - How market participants create fat tails and volatility31:38 - Where major market moves really come from39:05 - Ergodicity and why sequence matters in investing46:37 - The forest fire analogy for understanding financial risk51:15 - Why calm markets often hide the greatest dangers56:13 - Leverage, convexity and the source of market fragility01:00:53 - Why optimal portfolio construction can increase risk01:05:38 - Football, convexity and building resilient portfolios01:13:03 - Why the Sharpe ratio fails to measure real risk01:21:40 - Lessons for trend followers navigating complex marketsCopyright © 2025 – CMC AG – All Rights Reserved----PLUS: Whenever you're ready... here are 3 ways I can help you in your investment Journey:1. eBooks that cover key topics that you need to know about In my eBooks, I put together some key discoveries and things I have learnt during the more than 3 decades I have worked in the Trend Following industry, which I hope you will find useful.

Nick Friedman is the co-founder of College Hunks Hauling Junk & Moving, one of the most recognizable home service brands in the country. What started as a college summer side hustle has grown into a $300 million national franchise with more than 100 locations. Nick is also the bestselling author of Effortless Entrepreneur and host of the Hunks Talking Junk podcast. In this episode, he shares the lessons behind scaling a simple service business, building systems that last, and why execution—not flashy ideas—is often the greatest competitive advantage. On this episode we talk about: How College Hunks Hauling Junk & Moving grew from a summer side hustle into a $300 million franchise Why branding, customer experience, and execution matter more than having a revolutionary business idea The power of systems, SOPs, and checklists for scaling any business Lessons learned from franchising, appearing on the very first episode of Shark Tank, and building through economic downturns Why resourcefulness may be the most valuable entrepreneurial skill in the age of AI Top 3 Takeaways You don't need to invent the next tech unicorn to build wealth—improving a "boring" business with better branding, systems, and customer service can create extraordinary results. Sustainable growth comes from documenting processes, empowering great people, and continually refining your systems rather than relying on founder hustle alone. Resourcefulness consistently beats raw intelligence. Entrepreneurs who adapt, solve problems creatively, and execute relentlessly will outperform those with the best ideas. Notable Quotes "Execution is a strategy." "Developing systems is something we do—it's not something we did." "If you can do it just slightly better than the alternative on a consistent basis, you win over time."

Dr. Steven Mercer, an adjunct professor at the University of California-San Diego and an independent educational consultant, speaks from personal experience when he instructs solo entrepreneurs and consultants on how to build a service practice without sacrificing their values, time, or financial stability.  According to a 2025 Census Bureau report, there are 29.8 million solopreneurs in the United States who contribute an estimated $1.7 trillion to the US economy. On a bare-bones marketing budget, Dr. Mercer has managed to grow his business — Mercer Educational Consulting, which consults high school students and their parents on the best ways to get accepted into college — into a global enterprise. On this week's episode, Dr. Mercer offers lessons on how to transition gradually from employment to independent practice, attract clients through referrals and useful content, and decide when advertising makes sense.  Although there will not be a test, listeners will be schooled on the best ways to set fees, establish boundaries, and handle difficult clients. Monday Morning Radio, now in its 15th season, is hosted by the father-son duo of Dean and Maxwell Rotbart.

In this episode of Living a Life in Full, I sit down with Dr. Jordan Grumet — hospice physician, author of The Purpose Code, and host of Earn & Invest — to explore what it really means to live a life of meaning rather than mere achievement. Drawing from his years at the bedside of patients nearing the end of life, Jordan shares powerful lessons about purpose, money, and what truly matters. Together, we unpack the myths of "finding your passion" and the pressure of "purpose anxiety," offering a more grounded, humane framework for aligning values, vocation, and vitality. Our conversation bridges the practical and the philosophical — from financial independence and fulfillment to designing a life of intentionality, curiosity, and contribution. Whether you're in medicine, business, or any stage of reinvention, this episode invites you to rethink success and rediscover purpose as an evolving practice, not a destination. It's a thoughtful, deeply human dialogue on how to live — and leave — a legacy that counts.

What can a fighter pilot teach us about following Christ? In this inspiring episode of Kingdom Pursuits, Robbie Dilmore welcomes back former Air Force fighter pilot, pastor, and author Phil Cochran to explore the powerful biblical lessons found in his book, Lessons Learned at the Speed of Sound: A Fighter Pilot's Lessons on Faith, Discipline, and Trust. Drawing from years in the cockpit of the F-16, Phil shares how the disciplines that keep pilots alive—communication, preparation, humility, trust, and constant debriefing—mirror the principles every Christian needs to navigate life's spiritual battles. From the importance of having faithful "wingmen" and maintaining clear communication with God, to understanding why God's "narrow way" is actually life-giving, this conversation is packed with practical wisdom and unforgettable illustrations. Phil also explains how true strength is "power under control," why spiritual growth requires daily reflection, and how God uses discipline to prepare us for life's toughest moments. Ready to go deeper?

In this episode of Conversations That Matter, Jon Harris revisits the COVID era through the lens of Anthony Fauci's public statements and congressional testimony—including his decision to plead the Fifth. The discussion examines how many evangelical leaders and institutions responded at the time, the frequent use of Romans 13 and “love your neighbor” arguments, and which churches and pastors actually stood firm.Harris shares the key lessons he believes Christians should take from 2020–2021: good theology is only proven under pressure, the importance of thinking independently, and the value of leaders who refuse to bend conviction for social approval. The episode also covers current cultural observations on immigration and the persecution of Christians in Nigeria, the surprising success of country artist Ella Langley, recent Trump administration actions, listener questions, and a clear call to maintain integrity regardless of the cultural winds.00:00 Fauci Clips Montage02:00 Welcome & Why This Still Matters05:50 What Evangelical Leaders Said About Fauci10:00 Lessons from COVID: Theology Meets Reality13:50 Churches That Stayed Open – The Real Heroes18:00 Elites, Platforms & Parachurch Failures21:00 Thinking for Yourself & Finding Courage59:00 Immigration, Nigeria & Western Democracies1:02:30 Ella Langley's Chart Success1:09:00 Trump Administration Updates1:10:30 Listener Questions & Personal Notes1:16:30 Final Takeaways from COVID1:21:00 Closing & ETP CoffeeSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/conversations-that-matter8971/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Today I am joined by the Tactical Redneck for our weekly update from Holler Homestead. We catch up on what's been happening around the farm, share an upcoming class at Basecamp Lodge, answer listener questions, and spend most of the episode talking about fencing. We cover the pressure-tested fencing supplies we've come to trust, the lessons we've learned after building miles of fence in rocky Tennessee soil, and the skills that actually make someone an asset when it's time to build infrastructure on the homestead.

An individual retirement account, or IRA, can be a valuable tool for long-term saving. But like any financial tool, it needs to be understood and used wisely. Proverbs 18:15 says, “An intelligent heart acquires knowledge, and the ear of the wise seeks knowledge.” That's good wisdom for every area of life, including how we manage money. As stewards, we don't want to make financial decisions simply because an account is popular or because someone told us we ought to have one. We want to understand the tools available to us and use them with wisdom, patience, and trust in the Lord. So, how well do you really know your IRA? Let's walk through a few common misconceptions with a simple true-or-false quiz. True or false: You can contribute to an IRA even if you already have a retirement plan through your employer. True. You can contribute to a traditional or Roth IRA even if you also participate in a 401(k), 403(b), or another workplace retirement plan. In 2026, the total amount you can contribute across all your traditional and Roth IRAs combined is $7,500, or $8,600 if you're age 50 or older. You'll need enough taxable compensation to support your contribution, and income limits may affect whether you can deduct a traditional IRA contribution or contribute directly to a Roth IRA. The important point is that having access to a workplace retirement plan does not necessarily prevent you from contributing to an IRA. These accounts can often work together as part of a thoughtful long-term strategy. True or false: An IRA is an account that holds investments, not an investment by itself. True. Think of an IRA as a container. The account itself provides certain tax advantages, but what happens to the money depends largely on the investments you choose to hold inside it. Depending on your IRA custodian, those investments might include mutual funds, exchange-traded funds, stocks, bonds, money market funds, or other investment options. That distinction matters. Sometimes someone will say, “I bought an IRA,” when what they really mean is that they opened an IRA and then invested the money inside it. The IRA is the account. The investments within that account determine how the money is put to work. There are also limits on what an IRA can hold. IRA funds generally cannot be invested in life insurance or collectibles. Certain precious metals may qualify if they meet specific IRS requirements and are held properly. Self-directed IRAs can provide access to more specialized investments, but greater flexibility can also bring greater complexity and risk. As with any financial decision, it's important to understand what you own and why you own it. True or false: Your will determines who receives your IRA, regardless of the beneficiary listed on the account. False. An IRA allows you to name one or more beneficiaries who will receive the account when you die. Those assets generally transfer directly to the beneficiaries outside of probate. In most cases, the beneficiary designation on the account takes precedence over what your will says. That's why beneficiary designations shouldn't be treated as something you set once and forget. Review them periodically, especially after major life changes such as marriage, divorce, the death of a spouse, or the birth or adoption of a child. Estate planning is about more than documents. It's about making your intentions clear and preparing well for those who may one day steward what you leave behind. True or false: Traditional IRAs are subject to required minimum distributions. True. Traditional IRAs are generally subject to required minimum distributions, commonly called RMDs. For those subject to the current age-73 rule, the first distribution generally must be taken by April 1 of the year following the year you turn 73. After that, annual RMDs are typically due by December 31. Failing to withdraw the required amount can result in a significant tax penalty, though that penalty may be reduced when the mistake is corrected promptly. Roth IRAs work differently. The original owner generally does not have to take required minimum distributions during his or her lifetime. Because contributions are made with after-tax dollars, qualified withdrawals can also be tax-free. Those differences are important when deciding how various retirement accounts may fit into your broader financial plan. Retirement Accounts Are Tools, Not Our Security So, how did you do on the quiz? The goal isn't to become a retirement expert overnight. It's to keep growing in wisdom. An IRA can be a useful tool for preparing for the future, but no retirement account can provide ultimate security. Our hope is not in an IRA, a pension, a 401(k), or the number on a balance sheet. Our hope is in Christ. That changes the deeper question we ask about retirement planning. Instead of simply asking, “How much can I accumulate?” we can also ask, “Am I using what God has entrusted to me in a way that reflects faithfulness, generosity, and eternal priorities?” Retirement accounts are simply tools in the hands of a steward. Understanding how they work helps us use them wisely—but remembering whom they ultimately belong to helps us use them faithfully. On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions: I'm 68, and my husband is 71. We're retired with about $500,000 invested, a $100,000 mortgage at 2.75%, and a $30,000 car loan at 4.99%. We wanted to pay them off from our investments, but our advisor says the tax bill would be about $37,000 and recommends using a HELOC instead, then making one annual payment from our investments. Does that strategy make sense? He also recommends a trust, but we already have wills and our final arrangements paid for. Why might we still need one? My grandson is moving to Bali for two years for work. Should he send his earnings back to the U.S., or open a local bank account and keep the money there? I'm 61 and hope to retire at 63. About 80% of our retirement savings is pre-tax, and 20% is Roth. If we withdraw from pre-tax accounts first, our income could exceed the ACA subsidy limits. Should we consider Roth conversions or use Roth withdrawals earlier to better manage our MAGI and healthcare costs?

“Send Coach John a message”The second piece (that I talked about yesterday) was this from a total legend.  Zig Ziglar  (@TheZigZiglar) has had tons of influence on millions and millions of people. He shared these valuable and timeless lessons:  “Skills, knowledge, character, faith, and discipline continue producing value long after material rewards fade. Every lesson you learn and every strong habit you build expands what you are capable of contributing. Investing in yourself is not only about achieving more. It is about becoming more valuable to the people you are called to serve.”  The post goes on to remind us about this pure gold thought by sharing this quote: “The greatest investment you will ever make is in the person you are becoming.”  It is becoming more and more apparent to me that if I keep striving to be my best - in all areas of my life (knowing that some days I will fall short & to give myself some grace and keep going), those that I love and care for (and total strangers) will have an easier life because of the choices I made.

Your home may be more than a place to live in retirement. For some homeowners, it can also become a strategic financial resource—one that may help manage taxable income, protect investments during market downturns, and create greater flexibility around retirement withdrawals. Harlan Accola, who leads the reverse mortgage team at Movement Mortgage, joined the show today to explain how a reverse mortgage—specifically a Home Equity Conversion Mortgage, or HECM—can fit into a thoughtful retirement income strategy. A reverse mortgage is not right for everyone. But when used carefully as part of a broader financial plan, home equity may provide retirees with options they would not otherwise have. Why Reverse Mortgage Proceeds Are Different From Income One of the most common misconceptions about reverse mortgages is that homeowners sell or give up ownership of their homes. That is not the case. A reverse mortgage is a loan secured by the home, and the homeowner retains title as long as the requirements of the loan are met. Because the money received through a reverse mortgage is generally considered loan proceeds rather than earned or investment income, it is not typically included as taxable income on a federal income tax return. That distinction can be significant in retirement. Many retirees rely on a combination of Social Security, pensions, traditional IRAs, and 401(k)s. Withdrawals from tax-deferred retirement accounts generally increase taxable income, potentially affecting tax brackets and other income-based thresholds. Home equity can provide another source of cash. Instead of withdrawing every needed dollar from a traditional IRA or 401(k), a retiree may be able to strategically use home equity for a portion of living expenses. That could reduce the amount that must be withdrawn from taxable retirement accounts in a given year. The goal is not simply to avoid taxes. It is to thoughtfully manage when and how taxable income is recognized. Managing Retirement Withdrawals More Strategically Taxes in retirement are often about timing. Withdraw too much from a traditional retirement account in one year, and you may move into a higher tax bracket or cross other important income thresholds. Later in retirement, required minimum distributions can further limit how much control retirees have over taxable withdrawals. Social Security also adds another consideration. Depending on a retiree's income, up to 85% of Social Security benefits may be subject to federal income tax. That makes coordinating income sources especially important. For some retirees, access to home equity may allow them to take smaller taxable distributions during certain years while drawing on a reverse mortgage for additional cash needs. Meanwhile, money that remains invested has more opportunity to continue growing. That does not mean borrowing against a home is always preferable to withdrawing from investments. Reverse mortgages have costs, interest accrues on the loan balance, and using home equity reduces the equity that may otherwise remain available later. The question is whether strategically combining these resources could produce a better overall retirement outcome. Creating Flexibility for Roth Conversions Home equity may also play a role in Roth conversion planning. A Roth conversion involves moving money from a traditional IRA or other eligible tax-deferred retirement account into a Roth IRA. The amount converted is generally taxable in the year of the conversion, but qualified Roth withdrawals in retirement are tax-free. For some retirees, converting portions of traditional retirement accounts during lower-income years can make sense. The challenge is paying the resulting tax bill. Suppose someone converts a significant amount from a traditional IRA and then withdraws even more from that IRA to pay the taxes. That additional withdrawal can create additional taxable income, potentially making the strategy less efficient. A reverse mortgage may provide another option. Home equity could potentially be used to cover living expenses or the tax liability associated with a Roth conversion, allowing the retiree to better control how much is withdrawn from taxable retirement accounts. Over time, carefully planned conversions can also reduce the amount remaining in traditional accounts that may eventually be subject to required minimum distributions. Roth conversions involve many variables—including current and future tax rates, income needs, Medicare considerations, estate goals, and the retiree's overall financial picture—so they should be evaluated with qualified tax and financial professionals. Protecting Investments During Market Downturns Another potential use of a reverse mortgage is addressing what financial planners call sequence-of-returns risk. Sequence risk refers to the danger of experiencing significant investment losses early in retirement while simultaneously withdrawing money from the portfolio. Imagine that the market falls sharply and a retiree must sell investments to pay living expenses. Those shares are sold at depressed prices and are no longer invested when markets eventually recover. That combination of losses and withdrawals can make it much harder for a portfolio to recover. For retirees with sufficient home equity, a reverse mortgage line of credit may serve as what some planners call a buffer asset. Instead of selling investments during a severe market decline, a retiree might temporarily draw from home equity. When markets recover, withdrawals could shift back to the investment portfolio. Depending on the loan and financial circumstances, homeowners may also choose to repay some of what they borrowed, preserving greater home equity for future use. The broader principle is diversification—not merely among investments, but among the resources available to fund retirement. Home Equity Is a Tool, Not the Goal For many Americans, their home represents one of their largest financial assets. Yet traditional retirement planning often treats that wealth as untouchable until the home is sold or passed to heirs. A reverse mortgage can provide another option. That does not mean every retiree should borrow against a home. The costs, interest, estate implications, housing plans, and long-term needs all matter. Homeowners must also continue meeting loan requirements, including paying property taxes, homeowners insurance, and maintaining the property. But for the right household, home equity may become one piece of a coordinated retirement strategy—helping manage taxable withdrawals, create flexibility for Roth conversions, or avoid selling investments at an unfavorable time. As stewards, the goal is not simply to preserve every dollar of home equity or maximize every investment account. It is to wisely consider all the resources God has entrusted to us and use them with purpose. A home is first a place to live. But in retirement, it may also be a financial resource worth thoughtfully considering as part of the bigger picture.

On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions: My daughter turns 20 in December and recently earned her nail technician license, but she isn't working yet. How can I help her start building credit and develop good saving habits? My husband and I are considering a reverse mortgage. Would we still own our home, and could we eventually sell it to a family member if we want to keep it in the family? I live on Social Security, have a paid-off home, a four-month emergency fund, and $75,000 in a CD. I received an offer to buy $5 gold pieces for $469 each, with a minimum purchase of five. Would buying gold like this be a wise move for me? My husband passed away, I used up my savings, and now I'm overwhelmed by debt. I enrolled in a debt-relief program that promised to lower my interest rates, but I'm not seeing much progress. What should I do next?
