I have a great crop of 9 articles for you in this podcast! ------------------------------------------------------------- Two Eminent ESG Stock Reviews, Plus… Article 1. My first article in this podcast is about a favourite stock for ethical and sustainable investors. It's titled Is Apple Stock a Green Investment? Net-Zero Goals and Sustainable Supply Chain. By Saptakee S. Seen on carboncredits.com. Here are some quotes from the article. “Apple Inc. (NASDAQ: AAPL) is a key player in the fight against climate change. The tech giant runs one of the largest carbon reduction programs worldwide. And over 320 suppliers have committed to using 100% clean energy by 2030. This makes Apple an appealing investment for those who care about the environment and want solid returns. Apple's strong finances enable meaningful change. The company achieved record revenue of $124.3 billion in early 2025, a 4% increase from the year before. In the next quarter, Apple earned $95.4 billion, with an 8% rise in earnings per share. Services revenue also hit $26.6 billion, a significant milestone. This success is crucial for investors focused on carbon reduction… The company has cut global greenhouse gas emissions by over 60% since 2015… MUST READ: Apple's Best Quarter Ever: Q1 FY 2025 Revenue Hits $124.3 Billion, Carbon Emissions Drop Manufacturing emissions account for about 55% of Apple's total carbon footprint. The company nearly halved product manufacturing emissions, dropping from 16.1 million tons in 2020 to 8.2 million tons in 2024. Apple's progress toward carbon neutrality: Goal Carbon Neutral by 2030 Apple produced the world's first carbon-neutral consumer electronics. The Apple Watch lineup and Mac mini achieved this through emissions reductions of over 75%. Remaining emissions were balanced by high-quality carbon credits from nature projects… These carbon-neutral products have key features: Over 30% recycled content by weight 100% recycled aluminum in cases Manufacturing with 100% renewable electricity Recycled Materials Drive Sustainability Apple has made progress in using recycled materials. In 2024, 24% of product materials came from recycled or renewable sources. The company now uses 99% recycled rare earth elements in magnets and 99% recycled cobalt in batteries… Apple's recycling innovations include the Daisy robot, which disassembles used devices to recover rare materials… Additionally, the company plans to use only recycled and renewable materials in its products by 2030… Carbon Market Investment Opportunities Apple invests in high-quality, nature-based carbon credits instead of cheap offsets. It spends up to $400 million through its Restore Fund programs, aiming for 1 million metric tons of carbon dioxide removal each year… Strategic Advantages Through Environmental Leadership Apple's environmental leadership provides many competitive advantages. Its detailed carbon accounting prepares it well for global carbon pricing. Early use of renewable energy and efficient manufacturing gives it cost benefits as energy prices change… Investment Considerations and Risks The company trades at a premium price with a P/E ratio of around 28, which may lead to volatility risks… The stock has seen volatility in 2025, declining about 19% year-to-date. This may present opportunities for long-term investors focused on Apple's sustainability leadership and financial strength… From the above analysis, we can see that Apple Stock is a solid choice for carbon-conscious investors… As global carbon markets expand and ESG investing increases, Apple shines in environmental leadership. Its solid financial resources and focus on transparency make it a top pick for portfolios aimed at climate solutions and sustainable tech.” End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- Two Eminent ESG Stock Reviews, Plus… Article 2. Unlike the first article featuring a company which is in nearly everyone's portfolio, this second article features a company that is perhaps new to many of you. It's titled Why Temenos Is the Gold Standard in Sustainable Banking Tech—and a Top ESG Investment. It's by Eli Grant and found on ainvest.com. Here are some quotes from the article. Temenos (TEMN.SW) Temenos' ESG credentials are unmatched in its sector. In 2022, it became one of only 13 companies globally to achieve an AAA rating from MSCI's ESG rating system, placing it in the top 8% of all firms assessed. By 2024, Sustainalytics named it a ‘Low Risk' company with an ESG Risk Rating of 11.9—ranking first in its industry and sub-industry, securing the top 2% globally. This stellar performance isn't just about accolades; it reflects tangible actions. The company's carbon emissions calculator, developed with Microsoft and launched at COP27, allows clients to measure their environmental impact from using Temenos Banking Cloud. This tool isn't just a marketing gimmick: banks using its cloud platform reduce their carbon footprints by up to 95% compared to on-premise systems. Such measurable outcomes are critical as regulators globally push for transparency and accountability. Cloud Innovation as a Climate Solution Temenos' cloud-based solutions—like its flagship Banking Cloud and AI-driven Leap platform—aren't just about efficiency. They're a direct response to the existential threat of climate change. By centralizing banking operations in the cloud, Temenos helps institutions slash energy consumption and emissions. For example, a 2024 study by GoCodeGreen validated that Temenos' code optimizations reduced software carbon impact by 32% compared to 2021 levels. This environmental edge is a competitive moat… Governance and Strategy: A Boardroom Priority Temenos' leadership has embedded ESG into its DNA. Its board oversees ESG initiatives directly, and the company has committed to science-based emissions targets aligned with the 1.5°C warming limit… The results speak for themselves: Temenos retains EcoVadis Platinum status (top 1% globally) and was the sole software company to rank in the top 1% of S&P's 2024 Sustainability Yearbook. The Investment Case: Why Temenos Belongs in Every ESG Portfolio For investors, Temenos offers a rare combination of growth and values. Its cloud revenue grew 22% in 2023, and with over 700 clients migrated to its platform, demand is accelerating. Meanwhile, regulatory tailwinds—like the EU's Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) and global carbon pricing mechanisms—are creating urgency for banks to modernize their tech stacks. Critically, Temenos' ESG leadership attracts capital from ESG-focused funds. Companies with top quartile ESG ratings historically outperform peers during market downturns, a trend that could amplify as climate risks materialize. Temenos isn't just a tech vendor—it's a sustainability pioneer. Its unrivaled ESG ratings, climate-conscious products, and strategic foresight position it to capitalize on two megatrends: the digitization of finance and the global push for net-zero. For investors, this is a stock that checks all boxes: ethical alignment, growth potential, and resilience in a volatile world… For ESG-focused investors, this is a must-hold.” End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- Two Eminent ESG Stock Reviews, Plus… Article 3. This next article is the first of 2 articles on dividend stocks that might interest ethical and sustainable investors. Its title is VZ Named A Top Socially Responsible Dividend Stock by BNK Invest and found on nasdaq.com. Here are some quotes from the article. “Verizon Communications Inc. (Symbol: VZ) has been named a Top Socially Responsible Dividend Stock by Dividend Channel, signifying a stock with above-average 'DividendRank' statistics including a strong 6.4% yield, as well as being recognized by prominent asset managers as being a socially responsible investment, through analysis of social and environmental criteria… According to the ETF Finder at ETF Channel, Verizon Communications Inc. is a member of both the iShares MSCI USA ESG Select ETF (SUSA), making up 0.43% of the underlying holdings of the fund, as well as the iShares MSCI KLD 400 Social Index Fund ETF (DSI), where Verizon Communications Inc. makes up 0.63% of the underlying holdings of the fund. The annualized dividend paid by Verizon Communications Inc. is $2.71/share, currently paid in quarterly installments.” End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- Two Eminent ESG Stock Reviews, Plus… Article 4. The second dividend-paying stock article is titled AvalonBay Communities a Top Socially Responsible Dividend Stock With 3.4% Yield (AVB). It's by BNK Invest and is seen on nasdaq.com. Here's some of what BNK Invest says about this stock. “AvalonBay Communities, Inc .(Symbol: AVB) has been named a Top Socially Responsible Dividend Stock by Dividend Channel, signifying a stock with above average ‘DividendRank' statistics including a strong 3.4% yield, as well as being recognized by prominent asset managers as being a socially responsible investment, through analysis of social and environmental criteria… According to the ETF Finder at ETF Channel, AvalonBay Communities, Inc. is a member of the iShares USA ESG Select ETF (SUSA), making up 0.10% of the underlying holdings of the fund. The annualized dividend paid by AvalonBay Communities, Inc. is $7/share, currently paid in quarterly installments.” End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- More articles of interest from around the world for ethical and sustainable investors 1.

Don't be afraid to rebel—just do it wisely.Too often, writers stick to the “safe” path when it comes to marketing—social posts, newsletter swaps, maybe a hopeful BookTok attempt, and then wonder why no one's noticing.

Johnson is all about low-risk, high-creativity marketing moves that help authors stand out without burning out—or breaking the bank.Think: experimental fiction drops on nontraditional platforms, story-first marketing on Substack, Royal Road, small-scale stunts that get people talking, and ways to build a reputation that doesn't rely on chasing algorithms.Author Culture is a reader-supported podcast that I create to help scifi and fantasy authors just like you.

Don and Tom expose the seductive illusion of “wealth without risk” by dissecting the explosion of equity-hedged ETFs and mutual funds. They tear into the high fees, low returns, and false promises sold by funds claiming to protect investors from market drops while capturing the upside. With support from recent Wall Street Journal coverage and AQR data, they explain how these “hedging” strategies—especially options-based ones—often underperform simple stock/bond portfolios.

On WSJ's Take On the Week, co-hosts Telis Demos and Gunjan Banerji start the show by explaining how financial trading platform Robinhood's stock may tell investors what they need to know about the markets right now. They discuss how company's CEO, Vlad Tenev, recently visited the White House to discuss “MAGA Accounts,” President Trump's proposal for a new tax-preferred savings account for children. Plus, with the Federal Reserve's next interest-rate decision coming this week, the hosts share how tariffs may play a role in the question of when to cut rates. Later on the show, Meghan Swiber, senior U.S. rates strategist at Bank of America's investment banking arm BofA Securities, shares the latest happenings with the world's largest bond market, the U.S. Treasury. Long-term Treasury bond yields have risen in recent months, raising concerns that U.S. or international investors are backing away from assets that are usually considered risk-free. She explains what's going on, and how investors should think about volatility in what usually feels like a placid part of the market. This is WSJ's Take On the Week where co-hosts Gunjan Banerji, lead writer for Live Markets, and Telis Demos, Heard on the Street's banking and money columnist, cut through the noise and dive into markets, the economy and finance—the big trades, key players and business news ahead.

S3 E2 - Low Risk Doesn't Mean No Risk! by The Risky Chicks Podcast
California's insurance crisis has reached absurd new levels as even LOW-RISK homeowners are being pushed onto the state's 'last resort' Fair Plan. Despite living miles from fire danger, thousands of Californians with spotless insurance histories are being abandoned by their carriers. Our analysis of CBS News data reveals the shocking truth: 10 TIMES more homes in low-risk areas are on the Fair Plan than high-risk ones! Why? Insurance companies can't make enough profit under California's restrictive regulations. Meanwhile, state leaders blame 'price gouging' while homeowners face skyrocketing premiums for less coverage. Is anyone surprised that decades of misguided policies have created this mess? From insurance deserts to $8.43/gallon gas predictions, California's regulatory nightmare continues to punish everyday taxpayers.

In this podcast, Dr. Valentin Fuster reviews a pivotal study comparing the five-year outcomes of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) and surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) in low-risk patients with severe aortic stenosis. The study found that both treatments yielded similar mortality and stroke rates, reinforcing TAVR's non-inferiority to surgery, though long-term outcomes in younger patients and the impact of pacemaker implantation remain areas of concern.

Today's guest makes $60,000 per MONTH the old-fashioned real estate investing way. He buys rentals you can find on any real estate listing site, uses his own money to invest, doesn't need “creative financing” techniques to fund the deal, and treats his tenants well. This is a real estate portfolio anyone can repeat, and it has made Welby Accely a multimillionaire in just over a decade, even after he lost everything (three times!). In a time when every real estate guru is trying to get you into the lowest-money-down deal with the most risk and the shallowest margins, Welby takes it the whole other direction. His simple offer “formula” allows him to buy properties under market value, fix them up, get them rented, and refinance out to create an “infinite return.” Basically the BRRRR (buy, rehab, rent, refinance, repeat) strategy, but EVEN safer. How does he find rentals that are (almost) always worth more than what he pays for them? Welby says, “Every deal is a flip,” meaning if you buy rentals like a flipper would, your profit margins massively multiply, and you reap huge financial benefits. Welby is a REAL real estate investor, giving you a real strategy you can use in 2025, even with high interest rates. The question is, will you take advantage of it like Welby did? In This Episode We Cover Welby's unbeatable “offer formula” to get discounted real estate deals with HUGE equity upside Why Welby believes every investment is a “flip” and how it's made him millions How to find real estate deals ON-MARKET by simply browsing listing sites and activating notifications Why Welby always puts more money down on his properties (and it pays him back BIG time) What you can offer (that isn't money) to get a seller to accept your bid And So Much More! (00:00) Intro (01:32) NEVER Buy “Cheap” Real Estate (03:54) Every Investment is a “Flip” (06:13) ONLY Buy These Properties (09:32) How to Find On-Market Deals (15:29) The Easy Offer Formula (18:02) Put MORE Money Down (23:21) $4,300/Month Cash Flow (ONE Property) (27:55) Offer More Than Money (32:02) Follow Welby's Formula!

In this episode, we talk with Dr. Jeffrey Kline about disposition and tools to help emergency physicians manage low risk pulmonary emboli. This is a diagnosis that we can send home in many cases. This episode is supported by a grant from the Bristol-Myers Squibb/Pfizer Alliance.
These two college teammates built a sizable real estate portfolio in just three years by using what they call the “delayed BRRRR strategy.” They've used this specific real estate investing tactic (and the regular BRRRR strategy) to turn one duplex into more than a dozen rental properties for their portfolio. They didn't start with a ton of money and only got into investing together in 2021 when housing competition was high, and rates were soon to rise sharply. So, how does their strategy work, and how can YOU use it to buy more rental properties? In this episode, these innovative investors, Joe Escamilla and Sam Farman, talk about why it's CRUCIAL to have great real estate investing partners and how choosing the right one can be the rocket fuel you need to build a financial freedom-enabling rental property portfolio. They share the new “BRRRR” strategy (buy, rehab, rent, refinance, repeat) they're using to get steady real estate cash flow AND boost their equity at the same time. We'll also talk about raising private capital and creating your own real estate syndication so you can buy more real estate using other people's money and pass along the returns to your investors. Joe and Sam have built a real estate portfolio most investors can only dream of achieving, and they did it all in only three years, during high rates, and while working full-time jobs.

In this episode of the Real Estate Investing School podcast, host Joe Jensen sits down with investor Tanner Huber—a young professional who has built an impressive real estate portfolio alongside a thriving sales career in the solar industry. Tanner, who is currently the director of sales at V3 Electric, discusses his journey from initially treating real estate as a passionate side hustle to evolving it into a more passive, team-driven investment strategy. He shares practical insights on building a strong professional network that includes real estate agents, property managers, and lenders, emphasizing how leveraging expertise can make the complexities of deal evaluation and management much more manageable. Throughout the conversation, Tanner dives into the nuts and bolts of real estate investing, explaining creative strategies such as analyzing properties on a per-bedroom basis and using leverage to maximize returns while mitigating risk. He candidly recounts both successful deals and near-mistakes, highlighting the importance of continuous education, self-awareness, and aligning one's investments with long-term financial goals.

Dave Breazzano is the head of the Credit Team at Polen Capital, where he oversees $8 billion of the firm's $43 billion in assets. Dave is one of the OGs in high yield, having started in the early 1980s and invested continuously through more than forty years since. Our conversation covers some history of the high-yield market alongside Dave's involvement in it, the founding of his firm in 1996, Polen's strategy to take advantage of myths in the market, the implementation of the strategy, and Dave's thoughts on the changing interest rate environment, private credit, and opportunities and risks going forward. In our complex world of investing, I suspect you'll find elegance in the simplicity and clarity with which Dave approaches investing.

This is part two of a two-part series about low-risk venues where you can practice public speaking. In the introduction last week, I mentioned that the absolute best place to practice public speaking is in a public speaking class with a great coach. A good public speaking class is a controlled environment, so the risk is very low. However, over the years, I've come across a bunch of other low-risk venues to practice public speaking. Last week, I covered a number of low-risk virtual venues where you can practice speaking in front of a group. Virtual venues can be great for fine-tuning your message and learning to be concise. And, in most cases, you can practice and get your message perfect before unveiling it to the public.This week, I give you some of the best low-risk venues to practice in front of a live audience. The live audience is crucial for gaining public speaking confidence because most of your confidence will come from seeing that positive visual feedback from the audience. When you communicate well, your audience will give you positive expressions. Those little nods when they agree with you and smiles when you make them laugh are critical to overcoming public speaking fear.
Rent-to-own real estate can make you more cash flow, with less risk and fewer expenses, all while helping tenants become homeowners. But if it's so good, why isn't everyone doing it? Simply put, most investors have no idea that rent-to-own real estate is even possible! So today, we're talking to an investor, sharing the ins and outs of this lucrative strategy, and showing you how she scaled from zero to over fifty units, half of which are thanks to this strategy. Maura McGraw and her husband quickly realized that being active-duty military members wouldn't lead to the stable family life they dreamed of. They needed a way out while still making enough money to provide. So, they pivoted and began formally studying real estate. After a first deal left them with a $30,000 loss, Maura did what most wouldn't and got back out there searching for another deal. After dozens of flips and numerous rentals, she stumbled upon rent-to-own investing—a strategy that would fuel her real estate portfolio's growth. Imagine getting monthly rent checks without repair and maintenance expenses or insurance costs. That's what rent-to-own can provide! We'll talk about analyzing a market, screening tenants/buyers, profit margins, and how YOU can start investing in rent-to-own real estate in your market! In This Episode We Cover: How to make more cash flow with less risk by providing rent-to-own options to tenants The four major ways to make money from a rent-to-own real estate deal Who makes the perfect buyer/tenant when offering rent-to-own opportunities What happens when a tenant defaults on the loan, leaving you with the down payment Screening tenants/buyers before you offer them a rent-to-own opportunity Why losing money on your first real estate deal does NOT mean you should give up And So Much More!

Antoine Martel has a secret to finding the best real estate markets around, and here's the thing—ANYONE can repeat his process. After flipping over SIX HUNDRED houses and building a BIG real estate portfolio, he knows a thing or two about where to buy, which markets make the most sense, and what type of house is worth the risk. That's why, instead of doing multimillion-dollar luxury flips, Antoine decided to do “micro-flips” in affordable markets, with a staggering rate of success. What is "micro-flipping?" If you're a beginner investor like Antoine, starting out with only $40,000, buying in the big cities won't work. So, instead, Antoine found the real estate markets with low prices, high demand, and LOTS of deals so he could get his money back faster and keep repeating the system. These low-risk “micro-flips” all-in often cost less than a down payment, but they can give beginner investors the snowball effect they need to start building wealth.
