Let's talk about maintenance calories, because I get this question super often. What the heck are they? Will I gain weight? Lose weight? Eat more? Should I be tracking them? I know this can feel confusing as hell, so I wanted to break it down in this episode! This time of year, sooo many women feel pressure to be in a cut or build phase, but…there IS another option: maintenance.Here's the thing though - you don't NEED to be dieting or trying to build muscle 24/7.

You can expect benefits like stronger workouts, better recovery, stable hormones, and awesome energy to LIVE.YOUR.LIFE.If you've been thinking maintenance means ‘stuck', I hope this episode helped unf*ck that mindset. Maintenance is fuel, freedom, and choosing long-term success over quick-fix BS. I'm so proud of you for educating yourself AND showing up for yourself in this way!!In this episode, we cover:Why choosing maintenance calories when life is chaotic isn't a failure, but a smart strategyWhat maintenance calories *actually* are + why they matterThe truth behind why you don't *need* a surplus to build muscleBenefits of eating at maintenanceWhy finding your maintenance calories can feel confusing + what to do insteadWhat it *really* looks like to reverse out of a ‘cut' and land in maintenanceChoosing maintenance over cuttingLinks/Resources:Ep. 162 | Calculating Calories + Tailoring Your Macros to Align with Your Fitness GoalsJoin IT GIRL Community MembershipJoin FIT CLUB, my monthly membership with workouts you can do at home or the gymPRIVATE COACHING is my 1:1 program (choose 3 or 6 month option)Connect with me on Instagram @kristycastillofit and @unfuckyourfitnesspodcast so we can keep this conversation going-be sure to tag me in your posts and stories!Join my FREE Facebook group, Unf*ck Your FitnessClick HERE for my favorite fitness & life things!Send me a text with episode ideas or just to say hi!

✏️ Show Notes:What happens when the land of tomorrow starts to feel stuck in yesterday?In this solo episode of Hangin' at the Hangar Bar, Scott takes a deep dive into the history, current state, and hopeful future of Tomorrowland. From its origins at the 1964 World's Fair to the neon sci-fi chaos we know today, we explore why designing “the future” is one of Imagineering's greatest challenges.Joining Scott as a very special (and digital) guest is TomorrowBot, an AI assistant who might sound suspiciously familiar. Together, they ask:Why has Tomorrowland struggled to keep up with the world it once dreamed of?Is it time to rename it “Walt's Tomorrowland”?What kind of attraction could bring it back to life?Expect thoughtful storytelling, some dry Gen X humor, and a brand-new ride concept that could reshape how guests experience the land of tomorrow—without turning it into a tech demo or another IP dump.So grab your mouse ears, charge your imagination, and come dream a little bigger. The future's still bright... we just haven't built it yet.

In this episode of the Roadmap to Secure Love podcast, Kim and Kyle dive deep into one of the most essential—yet overlooked—tools for emotional well-being: your gut. If you've ever struggled with how to trust yourself, this conversation offers powerful insight into why so many of us ignore our inner signals—and how we can begin to honor them instead.

Most AI safety conversations centre on alignment: ensuring AI systems share our values and goals. But despite progress, we're unlikely to know we've solved the problem before the arrival of human-level and superhuman systems in as little as three years.So some are developing a backup plan to safely deploy models we fear are actively scheming to harm us — so-called “AI control.” While this may sound mad, given the reluctance of AI companies to delay deploying anything they train, not developing such techniques is probably even crazier.Today's guest — Buck Shlegeris, CEO of Redwood Research — has spent the last few years developing control mechanisms, and for human-level systems they're more plausible than you might think. He argues that given companies' unwillingness to incur large costs for security, accepting the possibility of misalignment and designing robust safeguards might be one of our best remaining options.Links to learn more, highlights, video, and full transcript.As Buck puts it: "Five years ago I thought of misalignment risk from AIs as a really hard problem that you'd need some really galaxy-brained fundamental insights to resolve. Whereas now, to me the situation feels a lot more like we just really know a list of 40 things where, if you did them — none of which seem that hard — you'd probably be able to not have very much of your problem."Of course, even if Buck is right, we still need to do those 40 things — which he points out we're not on track for. And AI control agendas have their limitations: they aren't likely to work once AI systems are much more capable than humans, since greatly superhuman AIs can probably work around whatever limitations we impose.Still, AI control agendas seem to be gaining traction within AI safety. Buck and host Rob Wiblin discuss all of the above, plus:Why he's more worried about AI hacking its own data centre than escapingWhat to do about “chronic harm,” where AI systems subtly underperform or sabotage important work like alignment researchWhy he might want to use a model he thought could be conspiring against himWhy he would feel safer if he caught an AI attempting to escapeWhy many control techniques would be relatively inexpensiveHow to use an untrusted model to monitor another untrusted modelWhat the minimum viable intervention in a “lazy” AI company might look likeHow even small teams of safety-focused staff within AI labs could matterThe moral considerations around controlling potentially conscious AI systems, and whether it's justifiedChapters:Cold open |00:00:00|  Who's Buck Shlegeris? |00:01:27|  What's AI control? |00:01:51|  Why is AI control hot now? |00:05:39|  Detecting human vs AI spies |00:10:32|  Acute vs chronic AI betrayal |00:15:21|  How to catch AIs trying to escape |00:17:48|  The cheapest AI control techniques |00:32:48|  Can we get untrusted models to do trusted work? |00:38:58|  If we catch a model escaping... will we do anything? |00:50:15|  Getting AI models to think they've already escaped |00:52:51|  Will they be able to tell it's a setup? |00:58:11|  Will AI companies do any of this stuff? |01:00:11|  Can we just give AIs fewer permissions? |01:06:14|  Can we stop human spies the same way? |01:09:58|  The pitch to AI companies to do this |01:15:04|  Will AIs get superhuman so fast that this is all useless? |01:17:18|  Risks from AI deliberately doing a bad job |01:18:37|  Is alignment still useful? |01:24:49|  Current alignment methods don't detect scheming |01:29:12|  How to tell if AI control will work |01:31:40|  How can listeners contribute? |01:35:53|  Is 'controlling' AIs kind of a dick move? |01:37:13|  Could 10 safety-focused people in an AGI company do anything useful? |01:42:27|  Benefits of working outside frontier AI companies |01:47:48|  Why Redwood Research does what it does |01:51:34|  What other safety-related research looks best to Buck? |01:58:56|  If an AI escapes, is it likely to be able to beat humanity from there? |01:59:48|  Will misaligned models have to go rogue ASAP, before they're ready? |02:07:04|  Is research on human scheming relevant to AI? |02:08:03|This episode was originally recorded on February 21, 2025.Video: Simon Monsour and Luke MonsourAudio engineering: Ben Cordell, Milo McGuire, and Dominic ArmstrongTranscriptions and web: Katy Moore

On this 4th of July week, it's a good time to pause and reflect. Democracy has always been messy, always imperfect, and always a work in progress. If we're paying attention, we know that democracy is an ongoing project. What's easy to overlook is that the success of that ongoing project requires the active participation of all of us.  And when that participation wanes is when opportunities arise for those who would undermine democracy or bend it to their own self-interested purposes. We are in such a time right now. If ever there were an all-hands-on-deck moment to protect and defend and expand the promise of democracy, this is it.  And nonprofit leaders are in an extraordinary position to help expand that participation for those who stand to lose the most if democracy is subverted any further.In this episode, we share:The five main reasons people don't voteThe key ingredients that will help clients to reliably show up to voteThe most important thing you should do before you begin engaging clients around votingThree simple actions you can take this week to raise awareness around votingFour key pieces of information to share with clients to make it easy for them to register and voteHow to engage clients around beliefs that their vote may not matterThe basic rules on what 501(c)(3) nonprofits can and can't do around elections and votingIf you found value in this episode, please share it with other progressive nonprofit leaders.  And I'd be grateful if you would leave a rating and review on Apple podcasts, which will help even more people find out about this podcast.Thanks!

As advocates and leaders, a big part of our job is to successfully engage both decisionmakers and members of our own teams to join us in pursuit of a goal.  And when we're at our most effective, we can feel that we're operating from a place of strength and assuredness and confidence that others can feel and respond to. But sometimes events happen that can undercut all of that in an instant. We get pulled into reactive emotions, and suddenly we're no longer operating from that place of assuredness and confidence. What's helpful to know is that it happens to everyone. Even the most powerful and impactful leaders experience this from time to time. But part of their secret sauce is that they know how to restore and return to their personal power very quickly. The good news is, that involves a skill set and a practice that anyone can develop. In this episode, we share:What is personal power and why does it matterThe most common ways we get pulled out of our personal powerHow to re-regulate your emotions when you experience an “emotional hijacking”How to uncover and shift your default interpretations of negative eventsHow to avoid the hidden trap that will keep you from getting the result you wantThe most common way we undermine our own personal power, and how to fix itIf you found value in this episode, please share it with other progressive nonprofit leaders.  And I'd be grateful if you would leave a rating and review on Apple podcasts, which will help even more people find out about this podcast.Thanks!

That is, that crypto constitutes an “incentive vortex” that will replace the world's preoccupation with country-backed currencies. Carlson-Wee, who was the first employee at Coinbase, joins Unchained to discuss the significance of the launch of spot Bitcoin ETFs, how he successfully navigated all the industry blow-ups in 2022, the challenges of balancing incentives for early adopters versus new users, why EigenLayer is so significant, why Worldcoin's distribution strategy is a “disaster,” and the strange places that the intersection between crypto and AI could take us.

Have you ever wondered if you are too much or too needy? We carry a lot of baggage around our needs, others' needs, and the many mixed messages about having needs but doing everything possible to not be seen as ‘being needy'.The result? A relentless pursuit to keep our needs hidden, fueling feelings of scarcity, shame, and worry.But needs are an inherent part of being human.In a society that has weaponized needs so that if you need, you are “needy,” the idea of expressing our needs even evokes fear and shame.And we've created a moral binary around needs–good to have needs, bad to be needy, or good to help people but bad to be helped–which is exhausting and only serves to prop up the myth of rugged individualism.Today's guest joins me for a deep dive exploring our complicated relationship with needs and neediness. Mara Glatzel is the author of the book Needy, and we're digging into how we come to see our needs as problems, as objects of shame, as feelings to heal or to banish, instead of as natural and normal.Mara Glatzel, MSW (she/her) is an author, intuitive coach, and podcast host who helps humans stop abandoning themselves and start reclaiming their humanity through embracing their needs and honoring their natural energy rhythms. Her superpower is saying what you need to hear when you need to hear it and she is here to help you believe in yourself as much as she believes in you. Listen to the full episode to hear:How expressing our needs is rooted in a desire to be known, prioritized, and to feel like we matterThe social and cultural barriers to truly claiming and expressing our needsHow prioritizing and centering your needs challenges the narrative that your value is in what you can doHow we can validate others' needs without necessarily having the capacity to meet themKey practices for identifying and honoring your needs and building your capacity for discomfortDifferentiating between self-responsibility and hyper-individualismLearn more about Mara Glatzel:WebsiteInstagram: @maraglatzelNeedy PodcastNeedy: How to Advocate for Your Needs and Claim Your SovereigntyLearn more about Rebecca:rebeccaching.comWork With RebeccaSign up for the weekly Unburdened Leader EmailResources:Say It Out Loud: Using the Power of Your Voice to Listen to Your Deepest Thoughts and Courageously Pursue Your Dreams, Vasavi KumarEmily King - “Remind Me”ShrinkingMadam Secretary

This episode also pays tribute to Richard Feynman's 1986 Memorial Dirac Lecture.Terrell-Penrose rotation can be viewed from a human perspective in at "A Slower Speed of Light" by MIT's GameLab. That demo also includes the relativistic doppler effect. Some other great videos by Ute Kraus and Corvin Zahn at spacetimetravel.org. See in particular their dice demo.The Reason for Antiparticles.Antimatter is uncommon, but it's not exactly rare. Antiparticles - especially those generated by cosmic radiation - are all around us, all the time. But just what is it doing here?Antimatter is just like MatterIn a lot of ways, antimatter behaves just like matter does. Quarks make up protons? Antiquarks make up antiprotons… and antineutrons, too!Antiprotons and antielectrons - that is, positrons - combine to form antihydrogen atoms.The Antihydrogen Laser PHysics Apparatus - the ALPHA Experiment at CERN - studies the spectroscopic properties of antihydrogen. That is, it uses photons to give a little extra energy boost to those positrons. As those positrons relax to their ground state, they emit distinct wavelengths of light.Just like regular hydrogen atoms.Photons, you see, are their own antiparticles. They interact with matter and antimatter in precisely the same way.If there were any difference between hydrogen and antihydrogen - any difference in mass, spin or the magnitude of their electric charge - those wavelengths of emitted light would also be different.  And the ALPHA experiment would be able to detect those differences.But no such differences have been observed.So again, what exactly is antimatter doing here in our physical reality?Antimatter annihilates MatterThe one thing antimatter does *not* do is hang around.Antimatter annihilates with ordinary matter. Electrons and positrons annihilate to form a pair of gamma rays, a pair of photons.If the universe were balanced between matter and antimatter, we wouldn't be here. Or… perhaps worse… we'd rapidly disintegrate into a bursts of gamma radiation as our particles and those antiparticle partners annihilated.So if antimatter is so uncommon - why is it even here? What is the point, the reason for antimatter? Why does the universe need antimatter?To understand that, we need to talk about time travel.The Light ConeOur reality has four dimensions. Three space and one time. Famously, Einstein's special theory of relativity tell us that these four dimensions are related.That relationship is nature's conspiracy to make sure that nothing travels faster than the speed of light.One way to think about how this works is time travel. Literally traveling through time. When we are still, we are traveling forward, through time. When we spring up to go for a run, we're still traveling through time, but we *rotate* our perceived motion through time into space. This is a four-dimensional sort of rotation. Sometimes this is called a Terrell rotation. There are some stunning visualizations of Terrell rotation linked in the show notes.The amount of Terrell rotation varies without speed. In a sense, we exchange some of our speed in the time direction to travel through space. The faster we go through space, the slower we go through time. There is a limit to this kind of rotation. We cannot rotate our motion so deep into space that we travel backwards in time. The most we can do is cause time to stand almost still, which happens when we travel just shy of the speed of light.Light of course always and only travels at the speed of light, in the absence of matter anyway. And because everything that must travel slower than light - everything that has mass - like protons, electrons, atoms and US - is subject to the ultimate cosmic constraint: the light cone.To visualize this four-dimensional cone, think of a camera flash. It's a sphere of light moving outwards from a point. The tip of the cone is us snapping the photo, and the vertical part of the cone corresponds to the dimension of time.At any moment, our reality can be cut into two regions: inside or outside the light cone. All those points that light can touch - and those that it can't.  Inside the light cone represents everything we can possibly hope to effect later in time. Outside the light cone is outside of our agency to do so.The light cone - in other words - represents the boundary of causality.Because we cannot travel faster than the speed of light, any Terrell rotation we experience inside our light cone retains a positive flow of time - however slow.But outside the light cone, that same rotation can cause our perception of time to reverse. Outside our light cone, if we are traveling fast enough, we can perceive time as flowing backwards.It's a fun thought exercise to figure out how we might perceive an event outside our own light cone - I'll leave that one for you to figure out - but here's a hint: “wait and see”.If you're curious, check out our instagram account in the coming days for the answer.Time flowing backwards might seem terrible for cause an effect. It would literally reverse the two! But time flowing backwards outside our light cone - outside our sphere of influence - has no bearing on our physical reality. As long as our causal influence is restricted to inside the light cone, the observable universe makes sense.Now let's tie this back to particle physics. You'd see, the relationship between the world inside and outside the light cone is intimately related to the relationship between matter and antimatter.The Feynman-Stückelberg Interpretation of Negative EnergiesThe celebrated Dirac equation - the mathematics which describes particles likethe electron - suggests that positrons are just electrons with negative energy. But what is negative energy? This interpretation was confusing for quite some time.But energy you see is intimately related to time.  As time is to space, energy is to motion through space. Energy, in other words, can be thought of as motion through time.So an antiparticle with negative energy can be thought of as a particle with positive energy moving backwards though time.In his 1986 lecture commemorating Dirac, Feynman - who is credited with formalizing this interpretation - gave a concise, technical and frankly satisfying explanation for this phenomena.It went something like this:Quantum Theory also predicts that particles tend to smear out like a wave. In atoms, electrons smear out to form standing waves, which we call electron orbitals. In modern language, we say that these waves are really probability distributions for a particles position and momentum.Left to their own devices, quantum mechanics tells us that these probability distributions spread out in space.For example, when an alpha particle's smeared probability distribution spreads outside the nucleus, there is a nonzero chance that it will tunnel through, and escape as radiation: alpha radiation.So you might ask. Can the probability distribution of an electron spread outside the light cone?Unfortunately, the answer is yes.And if you've studied quantum mechanics, this is probably no surprise. The path integral formulation requires us to consider every conceivable motion of the electron - including those moving faster than the speed of light.So it might seem that Quantum Mechanics and Einstein's theory of special relativity are fundamentally incompatible. If true, this would be a huge problem. Anything moving faster than the speed of light - even by means of quantum mechanics - could mess with our notion of cause and effect. Causality is central to our ability to perform experiments - to make sense of our physical world.And yet. Quantum Mechanics is compatible with relativity.You see, the smeared probability distribution for the positron can also leak through the light cone.Taken together, fortunately, the probability amplitudes for particle and antiparticles to be outside the light cone cancel each other out exactly. Why exactly? Because matter and matter are identical - at least up to that overall minus sign.It's just that what we call reality - sometimes - occasionally splits into particle / antiparticle pairs - or not - depending on how fast we're moving.In short. The reason for antiparticles is causality. The Alpha Experiment, RevistedThis is a simplification, to be sure. There are plenty of details to discuss about so-called virtual particles, parity and particle-antiparticle annihilation. Perhaps another time.If you're interested in more of the details, a good place to start looking would be Feynman's 1986 Dirac Lecture at Cambridge, linked in the show notes.With any mature scientific theory, there are nuances and details that are exciting to explore. We'll see more soon enough. But for now, let's just say that the ALPHA experiment - that experiment at CERN looking for differences between Hydrogen and AntiHydrogen - has searched for violations in causality - that is, violations to the CPT theorem - and has excluded them at the level of 200 parts per trillion.The Pasayten Institute is on a mission to build and share physics knowledge, without barriers!

Ryan shares some words of wisdom in this episode, below are some of the highlights. Making people matterThe inspiration for Charles' book is a sad one, having lost a well-loved colleague suddenly – Jason had a contagious energy and passion for customer service, and made everyone he met feel like they matter with just one line: “Thanks for coming in today.”Charles knew he would miss hearing that line from Jason, every day, and has honoured him ever since by greeting employees at his hotel with the same line. He says that now and then, someone gets confused – of course they are there if they were rostered on – but it's about letting them know that you truly appreciate their time and effort on that day!“Every job matters, and it really matters when people make the decision to come to work. We're one or two people away, every day, from either a really great day or pure hell, because every person's presence has an impact.”A mop can be replaced – your best employee cannot!Charles acknowledges that the secrets to building a happy and motivated team probably can't be shared in just a few sentences, but boils it down to these fundamentals:Leadership – Your leaders must be genuinely appreciative of the time and effort that their team puts in every single day. It all starts there – but there's more at play here…The right tools – Charles shares a story about a long-term housekeeper who left a job simply because her manager wouldn't budget the few dollars it costs to replace her old and dirty mop; the single most important thing for her to be able to do her job well. For this reason, Charles keeps a “mop list” – the things that people just really need to do their job well.“We may not want to admit this to ourselves, but employees don't come to work, excited to provide customer service for their manager or the brand. They want to provide good service because it makes them feel good and it's a representation of themselves. So if you're not providing them with the tools that they need to do the job, you're impacting their personal representation.”The right people - When hiring, the Westin's final step in the interviewing process is to look for a passion for customer service – someone with ‘a servant heart' who lives to make others smile. This passion makes everything else easier - from on-boarding to living out the “service pledge”(more below). Blow people away with the service basicsCharles is a big believer in creating a “service pledge” for your brand, and is surprised at the number of businesses who haven't taken the time to develop this foundation. A service pledge reflects the basic service standards that everyone in the business lives out for every customer – super simple, but incredibly important.Here's one service basic that should be at the top of everyone's list, and one that consistently earns positive feedback from guests at the Westin Fort Lauderdale – the 20/10 rule. “Within 20 feet of a customer make eye contact. Within 10 feet, there must be a verbal exchange; hello, good morning, how's your stay going? This simple exchange is the single most important way to make your business feel friendly, and will quickly change the vibe of an environment.”And we'll leave you with one last quote for continuous improvement that Charles lives by, from Buddy LaRosa (a frontline success magician himself!):“Good, better, best. Never let it rest… until your good is better, and your better is best”

We all like a little structure in our lives, even if that just means eating the same thing for breakfast every morning (hello, fruit smoothies), but sometimes it's the things we can't plan for that make the biggest impact.  Whether that's something positive, like meeting someone who helps you elevate your business, or something not-so-positive, like getting caught in a hurricane, any change to the norm can be a little rattling. So what do you do when that sense of order and “normalcy” goes out the window? If you're anything like the average person, you might feel a strong urge to hide in that storm shelter, bury your head between your knees, and wait for things to blow over... The problem is that you won't often find golden opportunities waiting inside. So, you decide to brave the rain and winds (and maybe even a few lightning strikes), but ONLY after making a plan.  If you ask Lee Jackson, a good old-fashioned action plan is the most important tool in a business' survival kit - well, that, and the ability to pivot faster than clients can say, “We've decided to go in another direction.” As an agency owner and host of the Agency Trailblazer podcast, Lee has spent his career planning and pivoting on repeat, a habit which has led him safely through such panic-inducing storms as the dotcom bubble burst.  In this episode of Profit and Impact, Lee shares his storm survival plan for businesses, including a few critical tools like the ability to find (and keep) your ideal clients, start the right conversations, and pivot like a pro.  So what's this conversation REALLY about? Embracing the entrepreneurial spirit How to carve out a niche that worksHow to build client relationships that matterThe value of upskilling The real meaning of serendipity  Why you should listen If you need a little extra sunshine in your life, the story of Lee Jackson's career will inspire you to keep on pivoting your way through stormy days, and maybe even pick up the phone once in a while.  Links  Agency Trailblazer  leematthewjackson.com You can quote me on that...  “Yes, everything's on hold, but people are thinking about the future, and if you're talking to them during the bad times, they're sure as hell gonna remember you in the good times.” - Lee Jackson  Like what you hear?  Help me reach more ears by leaving a review (and a hefty handful of stars!) here.

Interest expenses are often an investors largest tax deduction. You must realise that the onus of proof is on the taxpayer (you), not the ATO. That is, you must be able to prove to the ATO that your deductions are legitimate. If you are not able to do that unequivocally, you risk the tax deduction being denied in full (and you will have to pay interest and penalties).Therefore, it is wise to understand some basic tax rules so that you do not inadvertently put any of your tax deductions as risk. There is a lot more detail (whole chapter) in my latest book, Rules of the Lending Game, but below is a summary of the top 10 rules that relate to investment loans.(1) You only get one chance to set the maximum tax-deductible loanThe initial amount you borrow when you first acquire an investment will be the maximum tax-deductible loan amount.For example, if you purchase a property for $800,000 the total cost of the acquisition will be $845,000 including stamp duty. If you have $300,000 of cash, you need to borrow $545,000. In this situation, $545,000 will be the maximum tax-deductible loan. You cannot go back to the bank and increase the loan at a later stage because the “purpose” determines it tax-deductibility (which I discuss below). A possible solution to this would have been to borrow the full cost and deposit monies in a linked offset – more about this below.(2) Loan applicants may not have tax consequencesWho’s name the loan is in (i.e. the loan applicants) typically has no impact on the deductibility of the debt. From the perspective of the ATO, especially with spouses, the main determining factor regarding deductibility is (1) who owns the asset in question – i.e. whose name is on the title; and (2) who has been making the repayments.For example, if the investment property is in the husband’s name but the loan is in joint names, and repayments are being made from a bank account that is solely in the husband’s name, the husband should be entitled to 100 per cent of the tax deduction (Taxation Ruling TR 93/32).It’s preferable (and cleaner) if you can arrange for the name(s) on the loan to match the name(s) on the title, as this eliminates any doubt. However, some lenders’ policies or procedures might make this difficult, costly (in terms of time or legal costs) or impossible. It’s wise to document why the loan has been established in this way – that is, because the bank declined to set up the loan solely in the owner’s name.(3) The owner must make loan repaymentsA common mistake is that repayments in respect to a loan used to fund an investment in one spouse’s name come from a joint account i.e. in both spouse’s names.In this situation, the ATO could argue that since both of you have been repaying the loan, the deduction should be split. However, since only one spouse owns the property, only that spouse is entitled to a deduction – and consequently now half of the interest is not tax deductible!To avoid this risk repayments should be debited to an account that is solely in the owner/s name.(4) A loan’s security does not matterThe property/s used to secure a loan has no bearing on its tax treatment whatsoever. For example, you could have an investment loan secured by your home and it would still be tax-deductible. The purpose for which the funds are used and who’s been making the repayments will determine the tax-deductibility.(5) Purpose is kingUltimately, the biggest determining factor as to whether interest is tax-deductible is the purpose for which the loan funds are used. This is what the ATO looks at in the first instance. If the item being financed is used for a purpose which has a direct relationship with earning assessable income (such as rental income and capital gains), then any interest charged in respect to the loan which finances that asset should be tax-deductible. Once this is established, the ATO then consider (1) who owns the investment; and (2) who’s been making the repayments. These factors determine who is eligible to claim a tax deduction.Therefore, if you established a loan to purchase an investment property which earns assessable income, and one spouse owns 100 per cent of that investment property and makes the repayments, then that spouse is 100 per cent entitled to the deduction.Sometimes people ask; “Should I borrow against my investment property to repay my home loan?” The answer is always ‘no’, because it comes back to the purpose test. The purpose of the new loan would be to repay the home loan, which is a non-deductible purpose.(6) Don’t mix loan purposes!There are lots of reasons not to use one loan for multiple purposes e.g. to use part of the loan to invest in property and part to invest in shares. Or worse, mix home debt and investment debt in the same loan. The predominant reason is that it makes record keeping difficult and therefore puts tax deductions at risk (because it weakens your justification for claiming a tax deduction).Another reason is that it can become a nightmare should you want to repay only part of the loan. The tax rule is that any repayment to a loan must be apportioned across the whole loan. You cannot allocate your repayment to just one loan purpose. Therefore, you must separate loans by purpose.(7) Redraw: be careful using itRedraw is the ability to withdraw any extra repayments. The ATO treats any redraw as a separate loan, and once again, its tax-deductibility comes back to the purpose test. For example, say that a client has a $300,000 investment loan and receives a $20,000 bonus from work. They intend to use the bonus to take a holiday at the end of the year, and so they park the $20,000 in their investment loan in the interim to save interest. This will be considered an extra repayment. If they then redraw the $20,000 at the end of the year to fund their holiday as planned, the ATO will deem that they now have two loans – one for $280,000, which is still tax-deductible (being the balance prior to the redraw), and one for $20,000. This latter amount is no longer tax-deductible, as the loan’s purpose was to finance a holiday.Essentially, when you repay a loan, you can deny yourself a future tax deduction, as you can’t simply redraw the loan back up to the original amount. You must be careful about when you use a redraw facility.(8) It is much better to offset debt, not repay itThe problem with repaying an investment loan (whether through regular or ad hoc repayments) is that you change the original tax nature of the debt. That is, as discussed earlier, if you redraw the money at a later stage, it will be treated as a new loan for tax purposes. Therefore, it’s important to preserve the original tax-deductible loan balance, which also preserves your potential future tax benefits.An offset gives you the best of both worlds – it allows you to park extra cash in it to offset the loan and reduce the amount of interest you pay, but also preserves the tax-deductible balance of that loan.The bonus is that if you ever need to pull that extra cash out of the offset to use for a non-deductible purpose in the future, you can do so in a more tax-effective manner. This is a perfect structure particularly for first home buyers as it allows them to minimise interest whilst preserving the loan amount in case their property becomes an investment in the future.(9) Borrowing expenses are tax deductibleAll borrowing expenses are tax-deductible if they relate to investment loans. Any costs under $100 are deductible in the year that they’re incurred. Any costs over $100 are deductible equally over the term of the loan or five years, whichever is less. As mortgage terms are almost always longer than five years, borrowing costs are deductible over the first five years of the loan. If you refinance or repay your loan earlier than the five-year period, you can claim the balance of the expense which you haven’t claimed a deduction for yet.Deductible costs can include expenses at time of purchase, such as application fees, title search fees, lender’s legal fees, valuations, mortgage insurance, mortgage stamp duty, loan repayment insurance, settlement fees, security or guarantee fees. Basically, any third-party fees that are payable up-front, whether they’re government or bank charges, can be deductible.(10) Keep a good paper trailIt is vital to maintain a proper paper trail. You must make clear, concise notes and keep track of all loan balances and transactions related to your investments throughout the year. If you do get audited, it’s handy to be able to go back to your notes and calculations to prove and demonstrate exactly how you arrived at a particular tax deduction and/or what that amount was used for. This is particularly relevant when you’re paying deposits, refinancing, transferring funds, paying related expenses for properties and so on. What is clear to you today won’t be as clear in five to ten years’ time, so good record keeping will help a lot.Get tax adviceThere are two reasons to visit your accountant. The most obvious – and something that people generally only consider once a year – is for the preparation of your tax return.The other thing an accountant will do is to provide taxation advice about how you should set up and fund your property investments. This is of the utmost importance and I highly recommend you be prepared to pay for it. Don’t be tempted to ‘shop around’ for an accountant based on fees alone. This is one area where you want to make sure they know their stuff.________Warning: Whilst the author, ProSolution Tax Advisory and all its directors are registered tax agents, you must not rely solely on the above information.

In Episode 112 I sit down with Harvard-educated Pyschologist and best selling author Melanie Joy to discuss how we form our beliefs about food and how vegans can have healthier, more productive, conversations with non-vegans. An episode that I believe will be highly instructive regardless of the diet that you follow.In this episode we cover:Melanie's personal journey to studying Pyschology at Harvard and writing her award winning book "Why We Love Dogs, Eat Pigs, and Wear Cows: An Introduction to Carnism" Why our food choices matterThe carnism ideaologyCarnistic defense systems and the three N's: 'Normal, Natural and NecessaryEffective vegan advocacy: how to communicate better as a veganShame vs guiltThe idea of thinking about process vs content when communicating with someone who holds a different opinion to youWhy the debate format sets us up to failHow you can be a part of the solutionWhat a 'vegan ally' isThe idea of watering the right seedsand much moreWhile my episodes usually focus on nutrition science I found this exchange fascinating and believe many of the learnings hold true for our communication in general, whether that be related to food choices and the exploitation of animals or not. My plan is to extend this into a 3-4 part series, with Melanie to return and another high profile vegan activist in the coming months so we can continue exploring this topic together.Resources:The 3 minute video on Carnism created by Melanie and her team Beyond Carnism that I referred to in this conversationConnect with Melanie on Instagram @beyondcarnismCarnism.org websiteMelanie's Book Why We Love Dogs, Eat Pigs, and Wear Cows: An Introduction to Carnism, 10th Anniversary EditionThe Vegan Matrix - another book written by Melanie exploring what she believes is a serious problem with the vegan movement: unexamined privilege.Melanie's 2015 TedX Talk Toward Rational, Authentic Food ChoicesMy Book:My book is coming out early 2021 published with Penguin - I cannot wait to share with you.

Telstra RestructureTelstra has proposed a major restructure of its operations, splitting itself into three legal entities. David Swan at The Australian writes “The three components of the structure will be InfraCo Fixed, which would own and operate Telstra's fixed line assets; InfraCo Towers, which would own the fixed wireless assets like towers in Telstra's mobile network, and ServeCo, which would “own the active parts of the network, including the radio access network and spectrum assets”.The proposed restructure is scheduled to be completed by December 2021. The three business units will operate under the parent company Telstra Group.Non-paywalled: CEO Andrew Penn called the restructure Telstra's “biggest since privatisation” and said it would involve extensive consultation with staff, regulators, unions and other interested parties.https://www.itnews.com.au/news/telstra-plans-to-split-into-three-subsidiaries-555788 They also might start selling electricity to consumers: Andy Penn says they are applying for the necessary licences in the coming weeks. Telstra has an experienced energy team & is already heavily involved in the renewable energy sector “"We already underwrite projects that generate enough renewable energy to power about 100,000 homes, and we provide standby power that enables more renewable energy to be absorbed into the energy grid,” Penn said. Trump administration forgets to ban TikTok https://www.theverge.com/2020/11/10/21559677/tiktok-cfius-court-petition-ban-deadlineTikTok has filed a petition in a US Court of Appeals calling for a review of actions by the Trump administration's Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States The reason, according to the company, is that it hasn't heard from the committee in weeks about an imminent deadline for parent company ByteDance to sell off US assets over national security concerns.It seems that Trump's demands on TikTok were more motivated by headlines than any real policy, and The committee set the deadline of November 12th for TikTok to divest itself of “any tangible or intangible assets or property, wherever located, used to enable or support ByteDance's operation of the TikTok application in the United States.” TikTok says it applied for a 30-day extension that was allowed for in the CFIUS' order, but hasn't received any communication on the matterThe firm is in the process is of establishing TikTok Global in partnership with Oracle and Walmart, which President Trump approved in September. But the deal was never sanctioned by the Chinese government, and it's been in limbo ever since.Singles Dayhttps://www.smh.com.au/business/the-economy/alibaba-s-singles-day-sales-soar-to-103b-but-shares-slump-on-crackdown-20201112-p56dtt.html the world's biggest sales event wrapped up yesterday.

This show is all about Why so many people don't care about facts and How we can change that. I continue to be in shock and disappointed about the current ideology gap that exists in my country right now. It couldn't be more obvious that one side is built entirely on lies and having a group of followers that are perfectly OK in a world where facts don't matter. Like I say in the show, I just want to get back to doing podcasts about philosophy and better relationships and balance and awareness. But, given the very scary reality of living in a cult nation and the chance it may continue, I feel it's my duty as a philosopher to continue to scream, "The Emperor Has No Clothes!" So, this show is all about Why so many people don't care about facts and How we can change that. In the show I talk about: The biggest reason why facts don't matterThe effect of the Technological Revolution on facts and scienceWhy Emotional Intelligence is so importantThe Power of Changing Your MindWhy the people that need the most help are voting to stay in the system that is working against themHow to change someone's mind without using facts Questions or comments: tony@javabud.com #factsdontmatter #whyfactsdontmatter #2020election #mostimportantelection #virtuouslife #successcoach #balancecoach #tonydufresne #javabud

I consider this to be a perfect episode of Slo Mo, thanks to who is now one of my favorite guests ever, Mark Gober.Mark Gober is an international speaker and author of the award-winning book "An End to Upside Down Thinking" (2018) and its sequel "An End to Upside Down Living" (2020). He is also the host of the podcast "Where Is My Mind?" and serves on the Board of the Institute of Noetic Sciences (IONS) and the School of Wholeness and Enlightenment (SoWE).Have you ever been thinking of somebody you haven't spoke to in a while, only to get a text from them shortly after? Are you an anomaly among your friends because you believe in psychics, mediums, and superpowers?Well, take a listen to this episode, and stand your ground knowing there is plenty of research backing the existence of so called 'paranormal' phenomena. Mark Gober is a brilliant writer, speaker, and researcher who dug up all the legitimate studies that have been done on these topics. Among the many revelations to emerge from this episode, I felt the most calm knowing there are strong scientific reasons to believe that my son Ali is just fine.In this episode, we discuss:How knowing the difference between consciousness and the physical was key to helping me better process Ali's passingThe other meaning of being a "materialist"The Primordial Soup of MatterThe #2 question in all of science: how does the brain create consciousness? Or does it it all?How the brain is actually filtering or impeding consciousness rather than generating itThe scientific experiments that have essentially demonstrated the existence of psychic phenomena and survival beyond bodily death, with some even backed by declassified CIA documentsThat we may very well be different lenses of One Mind, and how one man's four near death experiences embodied that ideaHow we are nothing more than whirlpools in a stream that localize, then eventually blend back in (See my interview with Dan Siegel for more mindblowing insight on that idea)The most important call to action you'll ever receive: knowing that consciousness is fundamental, that we are all connected, and that death triggers a Life Review, how will that change how you treat others?Instagram: @solve.for.happy, @onebillionhappy, @mo_gawdatFacebook: Slo Mo, /onebillionhappyLinkedIn: /in/mogawdatConnect with Mark Gober at markgober.com, Facebook @markgoberauthor, Twitter @markgoberauthor, and on Instagram @markgober_authorDon't forget to subscribe to Slo Mo for new episodes every Monday and T

He chose to take the bull by the horns and live his life as authentically as possible.It would be decades before Martin finally managed to clear out all the negative "programs" implanted into his mind as a child, the subconscious self-loathing, but once he began his own journey of mindset transformation, the effect it had on his own life was profound.Now he helps others to do the same.Martin is a father to 4 children.In this episode we discuss:The journey into entrepreneurshipHow martial arts are a route to mindfulnessThe joy of going with the flow The impact of relationship breakdown before the birth of his daughterAdjusting to being a time-sharing dad and the pressure of comparisonHow having children forced him away from alcoholismGoing beyond breakdown and depressionThe perils of emphasising things that don't matterThe turning point when a mentor pointed him to a truth about his own fatherHow a difficult moment with his son over maths homework opened his eyes to a situation that was going off trackThe spiritual and physical redemption that came through a commitment to AA (Alcoholics Anonymous)You can find out more about Martin at http://www.martinmorrison.me and LinkedIn/martinjmorrisonJoin us in our community at: www.facebook.com/groups/heartofdad and apply to be on the podcast here: www.heartofdad.com/contact

"It helps to marvel at that miracle in every living thing. Life itself is an emergent property of the earth."Jordan Hamm is an assistant professor at Georgia State University in the neuroscience department.

In an era of fake news and alternative facts, the media is finding a new purpose rooted in transparency and truth.The New York Times’s purpose, “We seek the truth to help people understand the world,” hinges on a critically important idea: that the truth is worth it. In this episode, Amy Weisenbach, Senior Vice President of Marketing, talks about how this core tenet was driven by purpose and brought to life through the power of storytelling.First aired in 2017, the New York Times’s “The Truth is Worth It” campaign unpacks the journalistic process behind real New York Times headlines, and continues to probe topics ranging from the failing MTA and Trump’s tax returns to ISIS and children at the border.At the center of the campaign, said Weisenbach, is the idea that journalists are seeking the truth by holding power to accountability, bearing witness to moments of tragedy and triumph, giving a voice to the disadvantaged, and creating a shared baseline of facts. Which ultimately helps people understand the world, making their lives richer, and hopefully forming a more just society.Listen for Amy’s insights on:The value of transparency and honesty in advancing purpose in a divisive nationHow to leverage key cultural moments to tell stories that matterThe evolving role of purpose in the media, and why storytelling is an inherently purpose-driven fieldResourcesNew York Times CompanyThe Truth is Worth ItThe Daily podcastAmy Weisenbach on LinkedInThe News Literacy ProjectShe Said
