The first podcast of the 2025 season from Krunching Gears – The Rally Podcast - is a special episode dedicated to the Formula 2 Kit Car era of the British Rally Championship with Mark Higgins, Neil Simpson, Stephen Whitford, Martin Rowe, Ryan Champion, Howard Davies, Trevor Agnew and Alister McRae. The British Rally Championship Formula 2 era (1994–1999) featured front-wheel-drive, naturally aspirated cars. It emphasized cost-effective competition, producing thrilling battles and nurturing future rally stars. Iconic manufacturers like Peugeot, Renault, Volkswagen, Nissan, Ford, Seat and Vauxhall thrived, delivering innovation and unforgettable rallying moments. In October 2024, Donagh Kelly held a reunion at the Stables Motorsport Centre for those involved in the BRC Formula 2 days, which inspired this episode.

In this weekly recap, Amber Kuhn highlights financial history and strategic goal achievement. On Monday, Mark Higgins, author of "Investing in US Financial History," joined Matt to offer a profound perspective on understanding market dynamics through historical context. Mark emphasizes that true financial wisdom comes from understanding historical patterns without falling into the trap of believing "this time it's different." On Thursday, Jamie brought an equally transformative message about goal setting that goes far beyond typical motivational rhetoric. Her core philosophy cuts to the heart of personal and professional development: a goal without a plan is merely a wish. She challenges setting goals that are genuinely intimidating – ones that make you uncomfortable and push you beyond your comfort zone. The key, she argues, is not just in setting ambitious targets but in creating deliberate, specific action plans with clear responsibilities and deadlines.

There have been many significant events in the economy and stock market over the past several years. We have had inflation. We have had bank failures. We have had a pandemic. We have even had a potential bubble developing in the AI space. Despite their differences, there is one thing that all of these events have in common - all of them have happened before. And studying that history can allow us to better understand them and what they mean for the market and the economy. This week we are joined by the perfect person to help us do that. We speak with Mark Higgins, author of "Investing in U.S. Financial History: Understanding the Past to Forecast the Future."

Most people rely only on their life experience to make investment decisions. This causes them to overlook cyclical forces that repeatedly reshape economies and markets. Investing in U.S. Financial History: Understanding the Past to Forecast the Future (Greenleaf, 2024) fills this void by recounting the comprehensive financial history of the United States of America. It begins with Alexander Hamilton's financial programs in 1790 and ends with the Federal Reserve's battle with inflation in 2023. Authored by Mark Higgins, an experienced investment advisor and financial historian, this book will help you: - Understand key drivers of financial crises and the principles for managing them. - Recognize warning signs of speculative manias that lead to asset bubbles. - Understand why few investors outperform market indices and why index funds are preferable for most individuals and institutions. - Identify the major threats to U.S. economic prosperity in the twenty-first century. Investing in U.S. Financial History reveals that there is almost no financial event that is unprecedented. By understanding the fundamental drivers underpinning key economic events, you will internalize investment principles, avoid common pitfalls, and resist the temptation to panic amid market volatility. Mark J. Higgins, CFA, CFP(R), has served for twelve years as a senior investment consultant advising institutional investors with more than $60 billion in assets. Learn more about your ad choices.

Mark Higgins, author of the new book, Investing in Financial History, joins the podcast to discuss lessons from the past and what period is the most appropriate point of comparison to today's market environment.

(1:56); The last time the US -- and Federal Reserve -- battled serious inflation was from 1965 to the early 1980s. Here there are several parallels to today's age... (4:36); The Fed appeared to turn more accommodative in December and January. This may have been a mistake (9:04); Financial history is very much a history of panics, but there has not been a major bank run in the US since the Great Depression (11:51); Portfolios have become increasingly complex without proper consideration of cost -- and risks (15:40); Decentralized currencies aren't new and in fact once characterized the US dollar -- and for the same reason (fear of central banks and fiat currency, etc). That didn't end well... (18:06); Background on the guest and how he came to write the book (22:05); Bubbles and their challenges. Some commonalities include the media as trailing indicator...

The optimists and the pessimists will be served today on Money Life, as two interviews look at the same market but come to wildly different conclusions. Carley Garner, senior commodity strategist at DeCarley Trading, says in the "Talking Technicals" segment that she "sees some really big red flags waving," and that it will get rocky as the market backs away from being "extremely over-extended." She expects the market to take a turn for the worse, though she thinks election-year conditions may prop the market up and minimize the potential damage. Meanwhile, at the end of the show in the Big interview, Chris Zaccarelli, chief investment officer of Independent Advisor Alliance, says a pullback would be "completely normal," but he expects stocks to overcome a bumpy ride to finish the year up from here provided the economy can sidestep a recession. Also on the show, financial journalist Liz Weston of NerdWallet.com discusses her recent decision to retire and how she made a decision that proved difficult despite years of preparing for it, plus Mark Higgins discusses his new book, "Investing in U.S. Financial History: Understanding the Past to Forecast the Future."

瑞典的聖彼濟達（1303-1373）是整個歐洲的其中一位主保。教宗本篤十六世說：『教宗若望保祿二世在宣佈她那歐洲共同主保，希望聖彼濟達—他生活在14世紀，當時西方基督徒還沒有受到分裂的傷害—願能有效地向天主代求，以獲得深深所渴望的基督徒完全合一的恩典。』 教宗本篤說：『我們可以區分這位聖人一生中的兩個時期。第一個時期的特點是她婚姻幸福的狀態…彼濟達生命的第二個時期始於她喪偶的時候。』 關於第一個時期，聖若望保祿二世寫道：『在不放棄她社會地位的舒適條件的情況下，她和她的丈夫烏爾夫享受了婚姻生活，在這種婚姻生活中，夫妻之愛與強烈的祈禱、聖經研究、補贖和慈善工作相結合。他們一起成立了一家小醫院，經常在那裡照顧病人。彼濟達習慣於親自為窮人服務。』 彼濟達有八個孩子，她最致力於他們的教育。她的第二個孩子是瑞典的聖加大肋納（約1331-1381）。1341年，彼濟達和她的丈夫與其他家庭成員一起前往聖地牙哥德孔波斯特拉朝聖。朝聖后，這對夫婦同意貞節生活。烏爾夫進入了一座熙篤修院，不久后就去世了。 教宗本篤十六世評論說：『彼濟達生命的最初階段幫助我們欣賞今天我們可以描述為真正的「夫妻神修」：基督信徒配偶可以一起踏上由婚姻聖事恩典支撐的成聖之旅。往往是女人，就像聖彼濟達和烏爾夫的生活一樣，她以她的宗教敏感性、細膩和溫柔成功地說服她的丈夫走上信仰之路。』 在作為寡婦的第二個時期，聖人經歷了一種嚴厲的生活形式，並得獲了許多私人啟示。教宗本篤十六世解釋說：『聖彼濟達啟示錄有非常多樣化的內容和風格。有時，啟示至聖聖三、童貞女聖母、聖人甚至魔鬼之間的對話形式呈現；這些對話是彼濟達有所參與的。在其他時候，描述了一個特定的神視;在另一些時候，聖母瑪利亞向她揭示了聖子的生平和奧秘。』 聖彼濟達在瑞典建立了瓦德斯泰納修道院。彼濟達於1349年離開瑞典，定居在羅馬，以獲得教宗對她的修會會規的批准。她前往義大利的許多聖地朝聖，以恭敬聖人的聖髑。她的最後一次朝聖是在1371年至1372年之間前往聖地的。彼濟達於1373年去世，並於1391年被教宗博義九世封為聖人。 真福亞納、加大肋納、艾默裡奇（1774-1824）是像聖彼濟達一樣的神視者。她於1774年出生於德國一個貧窮的天主教農民家庭。 亞納、加大肋納於1802年進入奧斯定修院，並於1813年臥床不起。她從小就有神視能力。她也有瞭解病人疾病和開出適當療法的天賦。亞納、加大肋納於為她經常看到的煉獄的靈魂祈禱和而受苦。 亞納、加大肋納對基督、聖母和聖人的生活都有神視。天主教百科全書指出：『她視象是細節，通常是輕微的，這賦予它們一種生動的感覺，強烈地抓住了讀者的興趣，因為一個圖形場景緊接著另一個圖形場景，就像肉眼可見一樣。其他神視者更關心於思想，她更關心於事件;其他人停下來大聲默想，去引導讀者的思想，她讓事實為它們自己說話以福音陳述的簡單、簡潔和安全來說話。』 聖彼濟達和聖亞納、加大肋納都強烈地敬禮基督的苦難。他們私人啟示的內容幫助信徒們默想基督的奧秘。Mark Higgins神父根據《玫瑰經的奧秘》彙編了這些神視者的視象，這些默想於 2019 年和 2021 年由天主教之路出版社Catholic Way Publishing 以英文出版。訴安琪拉說：『寫下任何希望保守恩寵的人，無論是在我賜予或允許的喜樂還是悲傷中都不能將他靈魂的眼睛從十字架上移走。』

The Donegal International Rally in 2006 was one of those special events with an entry list that included Colin McRae, Austin MacHale, Eugene Donnelly, Kevin Lynch, Tim McNulty, Gareth MacHale, Matthew Wilson and Derek McGarrity. Added to the mix that weekend was Andrew Nesbitt securing a deal to bring two ‘works' Mitsubishi Lancer WRC cars to compete on this iconic rally. As the rally unfolded, an epic battle took place between the two identical works Lancers driven by Andrew Nesbitt with James O'Brien co-driving and Mark Higgins with Rory Kennedy co-driving. A recent discovery in the Nesbitt household of the onboard videos from that weekend has allowed us to retell the tale of the 2006 Donegal International, with Andrew Nesbitt, James O'Brien and Graeme Nesbitt joining us on the Krunching Gears podcast for a special episode to revisit the memories from that fabulous 2006 weekend in Donegal. Unfortunately, there was no camera fitted on Friday. Full onboards from the majority of the stages on Saturday and all of Sunday have been preserved and are now available to view on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/@gnesbitt1988 or search Andrew Nesbitt Donegal 2006 onboards We hope you enjoy this fantastic story of how the Donegal International Rally in 2006 unfolded for Andrew & James

Jason talks to Mark Higgins, Chief Analytics Officer and Co-Founder of Beacon. It is a company that provides cloud solutions to financial institutions to run their data and analytics and a number of other interesting and high-level things.Episode Highlights0.33: Beacon is a financial technology company focused on the capital markets. These are the sort of wholesale trading that happens in foreign exchange and commodities and interest rate derivatives.4.55: Mark had decided to start their trading and risk management system as a development platform that has all that enterprise technology stuff in it and so that quants and data scientists and people like that don't have to be experts at enterprise technology.8.00: The financial institutions have had a sort of 30 plus year history of on-premises data center computers and there is a particular kind of mental model that goes along with that.09.02: Mark shares how their product is this combination of two pieces. One of them is sort of an out-of-the-box set of trading and risk management applications and the second part of the platform is the developer environment where they can go and build their own tools.10.28: Mark says that they are very open with their underlying technology and development environment. Their clients get all of our source code, and they can write their own code in the environment. 12.02: In the early years of the company, Mark spent a lot of time being pretty reactive from a product perspective where basically their road map was whatever the next big prospects wanted them to build, and it kept changing all the time.12.35: Beacon is a big change for people. Jason talks about the implementation timeline for something like this for the people or companies.17.41: Institutions start using Beacon for one particular thing or whatever particular business problem they have and when their developers start using Beacon to build new stuff for the desk, then a new project comes up and they're like, why don't we just use Beacon for this, says Mark.3 Key PointsOne thing where Mark helps people with Beacon is how to use the cloud in the right way because beacons sort of automates all the cloud infrastructure management in the elastic compute stuff.Beacon came into the market after 4 iterations Mark shares how he ended up having to modify and adapt this product that he didn't expect initially.Beacon gives you a lot more flexibility in doing the kind of ad hoc analysis because you have access to elastic computing, says Mark.Tweetable Quotes"The quant has outsourced the most important thing that any developer can do, which deploys your change into production." – Mark"The thing that we didn't properly understand about selling to big institutions is that it's really hard to sell to them when you're a little company." – Mark"I just love the idea of helping the whole industry to get more efficient and productive through using better tools." - MarkResources MentionedFacebook – Jason Pereira's FacebookLinkedIn – Jason Pereira's LinkedInWoodgate.com – Sponsorhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/mark-higgins-63b0264/https://www.beacon.io/ Hosted on Acast.

A new MP3 sermon from Free Grace Baptist Church is now available on SermonAudio with the following details: Title: Aiming for the Prize Speaker: Mark Higgins Broadcaster: Free Grace Baptist Church Event: Devotional Date: 7/22/2021 Bible: Hebrews 12:1-2 Length: 41 min.

This episode with Mark Higgins was inspiring! The turning point for Mark came in 2020 when he realized that day trading so much was taking time away from his family. He wanted to find an investment that would take less of his time. After doing some research, he decided he wanted to invest out of state. He found roofstock.com and discovered that they would provide an all inclusive service to help him as a new investor. He purchased 4 properties in St. Louis on Roofstock within 6 months. After buying his first few properties, Mark decided to use a Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC) to buy more properties. He started taking on more risk by using the BRRR strategy. He was able to find a good team of contractors to help him get his projects done and to find great deals. His plans for the future include buying large apartment complexes. Currently he has 8 doors with more on the way.In this episode we talk about the BRRR strategy, using Roofstock, the St. Louis market and more. How to find himIG- @markbosonHighlights1) Get started with the information you have. Your strategy may not always remain the same, but getting started will expose you to more possibilities.2) BRRR is a great strategy but you must know what you're doing. You need a great team of contractors, wholesalers, realtors, banks etc. 3) Don't waste your contractor's time. Make sure you know your criteria so you're not having them give you estimates for properties you don't want to buy. Don't nickel and dime good contractors. Access all of our resources on our website- https://www.blackrealestatedialogue.com/linksJoin the B.R.E.D.

Join Howie and Michelle as they welcome Mark Higgins! In 2006, Mark had an encounter with what he believed to be a ghost or a shadow person. Combining that event with his earlier life experiences helped set the stage for his journey into investigating the other side. After his encounter, Mark had questions: "Who or what was that? What do they want? Why are they here?” From that point on, he began investigating reported haunted locations in hopes that he would one day find answers to his questions. Mark joined "The R.I.P. Files" team in 2010 and he is grateful to be part of such a diverse group of people with such different backgrounds, all of whom are devoted to learning everything they can about the mysteries of the afterlife. Mark currently resides in Charlottesville, Virginia with his wife, two sons, and two cats. In his spare time, he enjoys working out, going to the movies, and spending time with his family. He also has a Black Belt in Karate and has had several of his poems published

Happy National Walking Month! Living Streets is the national charity that stands up for pedestrians. This is the second in our special series of podcasts to celebrate National Walking Month, our annual campaign dedicated to celebrating and raising awareness of the benefits of walking. http://www.livingstreets.co.uk/national-walking-month The month focuses on how walking can take you to more than just a destination – it can take you to a clearer head, more family time, hidden treasures in your neighbourhood, a fatter wallet from savings on petrol or public transport, and a healthier environment. Each of the podcasts in this series will focus on a different benefit. As we get some healthy competition going in the run up to Walk to Work Week from 12-16 May, we’ll be investigating in this episode how walking can take you to better shape. In this second podcast, we’ll be meeting some of the people who’ve been getting into better shape through walking. We’ll meet Mark Higgins, who discovered that walking was a great way to both get to work and shed some extra pounds when he took part in Walk to Work Week 2013 – and learn what happened when he took it up longer term. We’ll meet Angie, part of a walking group in Doncaster, which was set up five years ago as part of a Living Streets project and has kept up the habit to this day. And we’ll be chatting through some of our stats expert Tim Fitches’ favourite facts and figures about walking and how it can improve your physical health. #walkthismay #WalktoWork #WalktoSchool
