Welcome back to Everymum the podcast, with me Aisling Keenan. What happens to a woman when the physical body, social identity and daily life she knew are all suddenly altered? That's what my guest this week and I discuss – Nicole Gaffney Hahesy, or Cole Gaffney as you might know her online, is an influencer and mother to a 7-month-old girl named Éala. We talk about her placenta previa, her tricky birth, Éala's stay in the NICU, and the fact that Éala still doesn't care much for sleeping. We talk about CMPA (Cow's milk protein allergy), reflex and colic and how Nicole faced all three in the early days of Éala's little life. Nicole has built an online presence around motherhood, style and everyday life, so I wanted to talk to her about the stuff underneath the nice pictures: postpartum body image, getting dressed when your body has changed, figuring out who you are when your priorities have completely shifted and the reality of trying to feel like yourself again when you're also becoming somebody completely new. Because I think there's a huge pressure on women to be grateful for motherhood every second of the day, while simultaneously looking like they've somehow emerged from it completely unscathed which we ALL know is not the case. Enjoy this episode with Nicole, and I'll be back next week with more. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In "Eliminating EDI Headaches: Managed Integration vs. Ticket Queues", Joe Lynch speaks with Co-Founder and Leader of Atadex, Mitch Bernet, about how fully managed EDI and API integrations eliminate operational bottlenecks, speed up customer onboarding, and drive supply chain profitability. About Mitch Bernet Mitch Bernet is the Co-Founder and Leader of Atadex, bringing decades of supply chain expertise and executive leadership to the role. Raised in Cleveland, Ohio, he earned a degree from Providence College, an MBA in Finance from Creighton University, and launched his career at Union Pacific Railroad before taking senior management roles at Conrail, APL Logistics, and Hub Group. A seasoned entrepreneur, he went on to found Integra Logistics in 2003 and co-found Coyote Logistics in 2008—growing the Atlanta-based business through its eventual acquisition by UPS—before taking a brief hiatus and returning to the industry to co-found Atadex. Married to Rosanna for 35 years, he is the proud father of two children, Matthew and Katherine, who graduated from Georgia Tech and the University of Georgia, respectively. About Atadex Atadex is a full-service EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) and API integration provider exclusively focused on the supply chain and logistics industry. The company was founded to deliver fully managed, fast, low-cost data integration—handling everything end to end so clients don't need in-house EDI expertise and positioning itself as an alternative to legacy EDI vendors, self-serve platforms, and traditional professional services. Atadex connects any TMS or WMS (including Blue Yonder, Trimble, Manhattan, Turvo, Shipwell, TAI, and McLeod) to any trading partner, supporting all major formats (X12, EDIFACT, API, XML, CSV, JSON) and transaction types. The company processes over 50 million messages per month and has completed more than 5,000 go-lives, pairing each client with a dedicated, US-based account manager. Its goal is to fundamentally change how data integration is managed and serviced, helping clients improve productivity, performance, and profitability. Target customers include carriers and 3PLs with complex partner networks, warehouses and 4PLs seeking a fully outsourced EDI department, and TMS/WMS providers wanting to offer integration without building their own delivery teams. Atadex also offers AssetMaps (fleet consolidation) and Freight Board Central (freight board integration). Key Takeaways: Eliminating EDI Headaches: Managed Integration vs. Ticket Queues In "Eliminating EDI Headaches: Managed Integration vs. Ticket Queues", Joe Lynch speaks with Co-Founder and Leader of Atadex, Mitch Bernet, about how fully managed EDI and API integrations eliminate operational bottlenecks, speed up customer onboarding, and drive supply chain profitability. EDI as a Profitability Driver, Not Just an IT Task: Data integration directly impacts the bottom line by eliminating manual data entry, reducing human error, and allowing logistics staff to manage up to 25% more volume per person without adding head count. Overcoming System Incompatibility via "Universal Translation": Supply chain tech remains heavily fragmented between legacy systems (like mainframes or EDI X12) and modern RESTful APIs. Atadex acts as a universal translator, mapping and converting any data format into whatever spec a trading partner requires. Speed to Integration Equals Speed to Revenue: Onboarding delays can stall new customer relationships for months and destroy projected margins. Rapid implementation and proactive partner coordination directly protect customer retention and protect sales commissions. Fully Managed Service vs. Anonymous Ticket Queues: Logistics operates on extreme urgency where every minor issue feels like a major emergency. Relying on dedicated, domain-expert project managers who proactively catch failed transmissions beats putting in tickets with traditional tech providers. Decoupling Customer Support from Technical Engineering: Mirroring the operational structure pioneer Jeff Silver used at Coyote Logistics, separating client-facing project managers from back-end technical mappers ensures seamless communication and higher overall customer satisfaction. Transparent Pricing Over Complex VAN Fees: Traditional EDI value-added networks (VANs) often obscure costs behind per-kilo-character charges. Simplifying billing to clear, per-message rates provides total transparency so companies can calculate precise integration costs per trading partner. Practical AI Integration with a "People-First" Foundation: While AI tools (like Claude) are being developed internally to speed up complex mapping and protocol translation, technology will supplement—rather than replace—the critical human element required to support high-stakes logistics operations.

Niels Kaastrup-Larsen is joined by Andrew Beer and Tom Wrobel to examine a remarkable period for systematic investing. They discuss how CTAs have navigated volatile moves across equities, commodities, currencies and rates while preserving strong gains, and why diversification has been central to that resilience. The conversation explores leverage, the renewed interest in managed accounts and portable alpha, alongside the growing distinction between trend and non-trend strategies. They also challenge the traditional framing of CTAs as crisis alpha, debate whether greater complexity actually improves returns, and examine the difficulties investors face when selecting managers and benchmarking an industry where yesterday's winners may not remain tomorrow's leaders.-----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 Andrew on Twitter.Follow Tom on LinkedIn.Episode TimeStamps: 00:00 - Introduction and eclipse mania02:57 - Volatility, valuations and a changing market environment06:22 - Trend Barometer falls as opportunities narrow08:21 - How CTAs have navigated 202610:10 - An extraordinary year for systematic investing14:07 - Yen intervention and CTA resilience17:11 - Trend versus non-trend performance22:20 - August performance and the systematic landscape24:48 - Active commodity strategies versus traditional CTAs29:39 - Situational Awareness and the risks of leverage32:14 - Managed accounts, capital efficiency and risk control37:49 - Are systematic strategies becoming over-engineered?42:45 - The growing divide between trend and non-trend CTAs50:34 - Reframing trend following as all-weather alpha55:07 - Why the crisis alpha narrative can be misleading01:04:06 - The hidden challenges of CTA benchmarks01:12:12 - Manager selection and diversification across CTAs01:14:15 - Does non-trend really improve a CTA portfolio?Copyright © 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.

You Can't Hire Your Way Out of This — St. Elizabeth Healthcare Proves ItFeaturing Brittany Sorrell, Director of Workforce Development, St. Elizabeth Healthcare700,000 open healthcare jobs every month. 306,000 unemployed healthcare workers to fill them. The math does not work. Brittany Sorrell has spent three years building the model that actually does — and it starts in high school.Luke sits down with Brittany, a former bedside nurse and nursing faculty member turned workforce development director, to talk about what it looks like when a health system stops trying to recruit its way to stability and starts building a workforce from the ground up.
When regular Christian activity is coupled with habitual sexual sin, it's a telltale sign that a person is more devoted to a religious system than to Jesus Himself. Unless the Lord intervenes, this lack of a true saving relationship will send a person blindly into eternal damnation. But Pure Life Ministries was established because the Lord is not content to leave hypocrites and backsliders in this miserable condition, but desires to offer them mercy and grace in their place of need. This places on every man and woman the responsibility to respond to that offer. In this sermon, Luke Imperato takes us through what happens when we refuse to listen to God's warnings.

You've seen the click-bait headlines: "Take this one supplement and dissolve plaque," or "Eat this one food every day to dissolve plaque." None of this true, any more than reducing cholesterol "dissolves plaque."There is a logical and scientifically validated approach to gain control over coronary atherosclerotic plaque and thereby risk for heart attack and related cardiovascular events. It begins with identifying, then eradicating, small dense LDL particles. Think of small dense LDL particles as the first domino in a long line of dominoes that will fall just by knocking down the first domino.

Too many clients panic when they are managed out of McKinsey, BCG or Bain. They assume the worst and imagine a tattered reputation. This could not be further from the truth. In this podcast, let's revisit a Case Interview & Management Consulting classic where we explain why it is in McKinsey's and BCG's best interest to never disclose you were managed out. It is part of their business models that the market never knows you may have been the world's most ridiculous consultant. So, if you are being managed out, relax. You will be ok.

Stephen Dziedzic of the ABC returns to catch up on a remarkable month in Australian foreign policy. The conversation begins with China's submarine-launched ballistic missile test into the South Pacific. Stephen and Darren ask who Beijing was really signalling, what the test says about China's nuclear deterrent, and why Pacific governments responded much more strongly than they did to China's 2024 launch. They then turn to Australia's rapidly expanding Pacific integration agenda: the Nakamal Agreement with Vanuatu, the new Vuvale Union and Ocean of Peace Alliance with Fiji, and the wider web of Australian agreements across the region. The discussion examines why Fiji and Vanuatu struck such different bargains; whether Australia coerced Vanuatu; the risks of strategic overstretch; and what happens when Canberra eventually has to enforce one of the new agreements' red lines. Darren also offers an alliance-theory puzzle: these treaties appear designed less to deter a clear external threat than to institutionalise alignment and deny rival security access. The episode also covers Taiwan's decision to suspend spot purchases of PNG LNG after Port Moresby moved against Taiwan's representative office; the fragile stabilisation of Australia–China relations and an Australian variation on Kevin Rudd's “managed strategic competition”; and Narendra Modi's visit, including whether India now truly qualifies as a top-tier Australian security partner. Recommendations: Ezra Klein's interviews with Kevin Rudd and Maggie Haberman, and Sam Dalrymple's Shattered Lands. Australia in the World is written, hosted and produced by Darren Lim, with research and audio editing by Hannah Nelson and theme music composed by Rory Stenning.

Dr Ross Babbage warns that without urgent economic reform and industrial recalibration, Australia risks becoming a client state of Beijing. Returning to the Defence Connect Podcast, strategic analyst Dr Ross Babbage delivers an unsparing diagnosis: Australia is drifting towards a future of strategic weakness, economic vulnerability and de facto dependence on Beijing – unless the nation urgently reverses course on industrial policy, governance efficiency and the information asymmetry crippling public debate. In a wide-ranging conversation with host Steve Kuper, Babbage articulates an emerging geopolitical fracture: the world is crystallising into distinct economic camps. The first, led by the United States and including Western democracies, is erecting selective tariffs and deepened trade ties. Camp two is China and its authoritarian satellites. A third comprises developing nations watching carefully before committing. Australia's position, Babbage argues, remains fatefully ambiguous. While virtually every Western ally has taken protective measures against Chinese manufacturing dumping and industrial subsidy – a regime he quantifies at eight to 18 times the support other nations provide – Australia has remained conspicuously reticent. China's leverage remains decisive: our iron ore and coal exports are non-negotiable parts of Beijing's strategic calculus. The deeper problem, he stresses, runs through economic governance itself. Australia has deindustrialised deliberately over three decades, shed critical capabilities in steel and advanced manufacturing, surrendered energy cost advantage and starved investment in domestic capability. Without deliberate recalibration – smaller government, redirection of trade partnerships, strategic investment incentives – Australia defaults towards clientelism. Equally critical is the communication void. Defence industry leaders, board chairs of major firms and even policymakers routinely tell Babbage they were unaware of the scale of Chinese subversion, intellectual property theft and coordinated disintegration operations aimed at fracturing Western cohesion. The path forward, he argues, demands frank public briefings, ruthless priority setting and abandonment of exhausted economic orthodoxies. Without it, Australia becomes the strategic backwater Beijing expects. Enjoy the podcast, The Contested Ground team

Want to learn more about systematic trading? Click here to watch the FREE Masterclass!Does knowing the financial world necessarily mean knowing how to trade? Before becoming a systematic trader, Alessandro Lomonte worked as a financial advisor, primarily dealing with long-term investments. Personally, he occasionally bought stocks, but without following a specific method.Things changed in 2021, when he discovered Unger Academy. Andrea Unger's reputation, the professionalism of the team, and the structure of the program immediately gave him confidence. Once he began the program, his interest in the markets developed into a genuine passion.Alessandro put his head down and started studying, dedicating time and effort to developing the skills required to trade the markets. His first few years of live trading allowed him to gain experience and learn from his mistakes. Since 2023, however, he says he has achieved returns that are "well above average" and even better than those of the funds he managed in the past.But for Alessandro, the most important result is not purely financial. Today, he works in the world of soccer, but he considers trading his "spark": a passion that gives him a deep sense of personal fulfillment.In this interview, he shares his journey from financial advisor to systematic trader, the results he has achieved, and why he says trading has changed his life.

AI is changing property management faster than ever, but the biggest challenge isn't the technology; it's building systems that solve real problems for agencies. Here's what you need to know to stay ahead. On The Property Management Excellence (PMX) Podcast, Alex Whitlock is joined by Bairave Jeyasothy and Louis Amon from Managed to take listeners behind the scenes of building one of Australia's fastest-evolving property management platforms. The trio reveal how customer feedback shapes every product decision, why automation has become the biggest priority for agencies, and how AI is changing the way property managers work behind the scenes. They also lift the lid on the technology powering automated payments, explain why trust accounts are becoming a thing of the past, and discuss the challenge of balancing new features with keeping a platform running smoothly. The conversation also explores the rise of agencies building their own AI-powered workflows, the opportunities this creates, and why understanding the fundamentals of technology will become just as important as adopting the latest tools.

Bank Returns Post Earnings (July 14, 2026) Bank Stocks Earnings Cheat Sheet - JULY 15 - ASML: Expected EPS around $7.92 on $10.25 billion revenue; bookings, EUV demand and updated AI-chip equipment guidance will matter most. - JULY 15 - JOHNSON & JOHNSON: Expected EPS around $2.86 on $25.02 billion revenue; watch pharmaceutical growth, medical-device demand and full-year guidance. - JULY 15 - MORGAN STANLEY: Expected EPS around $2.89 on $19.38 billion revenue; trading, investment banking and wealth-management inflows are the key numbers. - JULY 15 - BLACKROCK: Expected EPS around $12.59 on $6.80 billion revenue; assets under management, ETF flows and private-market fundraising will be in focus. - JULY 16 - TSMC: Expected EPS around $3.76-$3.77 on roughly $40 billion revenue; AI demand, gross margin and any increase to capital-spending guidance are critical. - JULY 16 - UNITEDHEALTH: Expected EPS around $4.84 on $110.8 billion revenue; medical-cost trends and the durability of full-year guidance are the main issues. - JULY 16 - GE AEROSPACE: Expected EPS around $1.85 on $11.8 billion revenue; engine deliveries, service revenue and supply-chain constraints will drive the reaction. - JULY 16 - NETFLIX: Expected EPS around $0.79 on $12.58 billion revenue; advertising growth, engagement and operating-margin guidance will matter more than subscribers. - JULY 17 - TRAVELERS: Expected EPS around $5.33 on roughly $11 billion revenue; catastrophe losses, insurance pricing and reserve development are the key swing factors. - JULY 17 - FIFTH THIRD: Expected EPS around $0.98 on $3.25 billion revenue; net-interest income, deposit costs and credit quality will be closely watched. WAYFAIR GOES PHYSICAL - Wayfair opened its second large-format store in Atlanta on March 31, following the 2024 debut of its 150,000-square-foot Wilmette, Illinois flagship. - The company is building a national store network, with Denver expected later in 2026 and Yonkers, Cincinnati and Princeton locations planned for 2027. - The stores combine furniture, decor, appliances and home-improvement products, giving customers a chance to test large purchases before ordering. - The strategy is a major reversal for an online-first retailer and is designed to increase brand awareness, reduce dependence on digital advertising and capture shoppers returning to physical stores. AI SOVEREIGN WEALTH FUND - PUBLIC OWNERSHIP DEBATE - Bernie Sanders introduced legislation requiring the largest AI companies to transfer 50% of their equity into a U.S. sovereign wealth fund. - The fund is projected by supporters to hold roughly $7 trillion and could finance annual public dividends and government services. - OpenAI has separately floated a much smaller proposal in which major AI companies would voluntarily contribute about 5% of their equity. - Supporters call it a way to share AI-created wealth; critics warn government ownership could discourage investment, distort regulation and reduce innovation. PSA - That's what we do....CYCLOSPORIASIS OUTBREAK - CASES SURGE - Cyclosporiasis cases are rising across more than 30 states, with Michigan, Ohio and New York reporting particularly large increases. - The CDC reported at least 843 confirmed cases and 86 hospitalizations by July 9, but state totals and reporting delays suggest the real count is substantially higher. - Lettuce, salad greens and other fresh produce are being investigated, although officials have not identified a specific product, supplier or national recall. - The parasite causes prolonged or recurring watery diarrhea; washing produce may reduce risk, and persistent symptoms should prompt medical testing and treatment. HOW TO REDUCE CYCLOSPORIASIS RISK (FWIW) - Wash hands with soap before preparing food and after using the bathroom. - Rinse fresh fruits, vegetables and herbs thoroughly under running water; scrubbing helps but cannot guarantee removal. - Keep raw produce separate from unwashed items, dirty utensils and preparation surfaces. - When traveling in tropical or subtropical areas, use safe water and avoid raw produce you cannot peel yourself; routine chemical sanitizers may not kill Cyclospora.

Fitzhugh Brundage, author of A Fate Worse Than Hell, describes how Union administrator William Hoffman managed Northern prisons with a focus on extreme cost-savings, even diverting ration funds into camp improvements. Meanwhile, the Lieber Code (General Order 100) was drafted to codify humane treatment for POWs and civilians. However, it included a "military necessity" loophole that allowed commanders to bypass these protections in dire situations. The Confederacy denounced this code as illegal window dressing for the Union's conduct during the ongoing conflict. (4)1865 RICHMOND
The episode examines the ongoing shift in the IT services market from traditional managed services to “managed intelligence,” as vendors like PAX8 and ConnectWise attempt to reposition their offerings around artificial intelligence (AI). This structural change introduces increased operational complexity for MSPs who are being urged to adopt new AI-driven models, while facing evolving expectations regarding service delivery, pricing, and accountability. The mechanism at play is the transfer of risk and uncertainty from vendors to MSPs, especially as AI and usage-based billing models upend established business practices. One significant development highlighted is PAX8's call for MSPs to become “managed intelligence providers”; however, according to PAX8's own head of AI adoption, only 17 out of 600 interviewed partners currently meet that standard, up from 13 a year prior. In response to this slow uptake, PAX8 has introduced bridge services and a Managed Intelligence Program to support partners through the transition, including white-labeled AI services and a platform for tracking usage called the agent gateway. These efforts underscore that the managed intelligence model presents a steep learning curve for most MSPs, with few having yet achieved operational maturity in this area. Related market activity further illustrates these dynamics. ConnectWise has restructured its platform around an AI core, introducing predictive intelligence and shifting to ticket-based billing rather than traditional per-seat models. According to ConnectWise, this shift reduces L1-L2 ticket escalations by 86% and increases technician productivity by 30%. Meanwhile, concerns remain about data ownership and the scope of actionable information, with companies like Lexful and Enable pushing for greater integration across siloed applications. There is also ongoing debate on whether system-of-record vendors or independent AI-native platforms will ultimately control operational workflows and client relationships. For MSPs and IT service providers, these developments translate into practical concerns around vendor dependency, variable cost exposure, and pricing pressure. The move to consumption-driven models and token economics increases unpredictability, forcing providers to absorb or carefully manage AI usage costs or risk compressed margins. There are also governance and accountability questions related to client relationships, especially as more AI service layers are introduced by upstream vendors. The operational implication is a need for heightened financial diligence, risk assessment, and a clear strategy for maintaining client trust and service differentiation in an increasingly intermediated service landscape.

Les Wexner was one of the most important people in Jeffrey Epstein's rise, yet for years he managed to remain far less publicly radioactive than figures like Ghislaine Maxwell, Prince Andrew, Bill Clinton, or Leon Black. Wexner gave Epstein extraordinary access, trusted him with financial power, and allowed him into the center of his personal and business world, including through power of attorney and the management of major assets. But after Epstein's crimes became impossible to ignore, Wexner largely presented himself as someone who had been deceived, stolen from, and betrayed by Epstein. That framing helped him avoid the kind of sustained public grilling that other Epstein associates faced, even though Epstein's proximity to Wexner helped give him wealth, legitimacy, and elite credibility.Les Wexner was one of the most important people in Jeffrey Epstein's rise, yet for years he managed to remain far less publicly radioactive than figures like Ghislaine Maxwell, Prince Andrew, Bill Clinton, or Leon Black.

Dan Nathan and Guy Adami open by focusing on heightened volatility in the NASDAQ and semiconductors after the SOXX hit an all-time high then fell 7%, alongside a 10% overnight drop in South Korea's KOSPI, raising concerns about a global snowball effect. They argue widening volatility bands, “meme stock” dynamics in names like Intel, heavy AI-related capital raising, higher rates, and data-center build push-outs could signal a market high, while the consumer shows strain in retailer and restaurant commentary. They preview Micron earnings, noting extreme implied moves, massive stock swings, and skepticism that “dirt cheap” valuation offsets cyclicality, with high-bandwidth memory now central to the AI trade. After the break, Dan Nathan hosts Gutter Capital co-founders Dan Teran and James Getinger to discuss the firm's $75 million Fund III and the second iteration of its New York City accelerator, Elbow Grease. They explain Gutter's origins from 110+ angel investments, a concentrated portfolio strategy, and a highly hands-on operating model focused on recruiting and day-to-day company building. Teran recounts founding and selling Managed by Q to WeWork and how those experiences shaped Gutter's approach, while Getinger shares his decade as a profitable professional gambler and how that informed his quantitative and operational investing style. They argue venture has become increasingly consensus-driven, with rising seed valuations and capital concentrated in a few mega-funds, making early fundraising harder for nontraditional founders. Gutter emphasizes earlier-stage bets, community and mentorship on Canal Street, and investing in AI-enabled application-layer companies without needing to price frontier-model valuations. —FOLLOW USYouTube: @RiskReversalMediaInstagram: @riskreversalmediaTwitter: @RiskReversalLinkedIn: RiskReversal Media The financial opinions expressed in Risk Reversal content are for information purposes only.

Molly Beer. Guest Molly Beer introduces Angelica Schuyler, born in 1755 to a powerful Dutch family in Albany. Beer discusses "The Pastures," the Schuyler mansion designed and managed by Angelica's mother, Catherine. Unlike most 18th-century women, Angelica received a formal education, a Dutch practice valuing women's business capabilities. Beer notes Angelica's transition from her Dutch identity to the English "Angelica" after visiting New York City. The segment concludes with her elopement with John Carter, an elegant Englishman. Though her father was initially displeased, he leveraged the marriage as a strategic cover during the Revolutionary War. 11799 ROWLANDSON
