For many of us, daily life is defined by a near-constant stream of decisions, from what to buy on Amazon to what to watch on Netflix. On this episode of Critics at Large, Vinson Cunningham, Naomi Fry, and Alexandra Schwartz consider how we came to see endless selection as a fundamental right. The hosts discuss “The Age of Choice,” a new book by the historian Sophia Rosenfeld, which traces how our fixation with the freedom to choose has evolved over the centuries. Today, an abundance of choice in one sphere often masks a lack of choice in others—and, with so much focus on individual rather than collective decision-making, the glut of options can contribute to a profound sense of alienation. “When all you do is choose, choose, choose, what you do is end up by yourself,” Cunningham says. “Putting yourself with people seems to be one of the salves.”Read, watch, and listen with the critics:“Could Anyone Keep Track of This Year's Microtrends?” by Danielle Cohen (The Cut)“The Age of Choice: A History of Freedom in Modern Life,” by Sophia Rosenfeld“The Federalist Papers,” by Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, and John Jay“What Does It Take to Quit Shopping?

Come to a Dehoarding Accountability Zoom Session: http://www.overcomecompulsivehoarding.co.uk/ticket Subscribe to the podcast: https://www.overcomecompulsivehoarding.co.uk/subscribe Podcast show notes, links and transcript: http://www.overcomecompulsivehoarding.co.uk/ Today, I look at the impact of micro trends on our lives and how they are contributing to clutter and excessive consumption and the additional challenges hoarders face in this ever-evolving landscape of trends. I look at identifying our true style beyond societal pressures and resisting the temptation of constantly changing trendy items. Join me to explore the consequences of indulging in micro trends, the environmental impact of fast fashion, and strategies to make mindful purchasing decisions in a world dominated by fleeting trends. Impact of Microtrends on Hoarding Behaviour Hoarders facing unique challenges with microtrends Consequences of indulging in microtrends such as financial strain and accumulation of belongings Resisting the Temptation of Microtrends Avoiding constantly changing trendy items Thought exercise to identify personal style beyond external influences Understanding individual style versus succumbing to marketing influences Questioning motivations behind purchasing new trends Mindful Purchasing and Consumption "One in, one out" approach to purchases Delaying purchases to assess genuine interest Identifying if existing items can serve the same purpose Evolution of Trends and Impact of Social Media Trends in fashion and design propelled by personal expression and corporate marketing Acceleration of trends through social media platforms Accumulation of items due to shorter trend cycles and excessive consumption Environmental and Social Impact Production and consumption of fast, low-quality products contributing to waste Struggle of charity shops to sell items from past micro trends Encouraging individuals to opt out of supporting fleeting trends By addressing these topics, the podcast provides a comprehensive exploration of how microtrends impact hoarding behaviour, strategies for resisting trends, and insights into the broader societal and environmental implications of excessive consumption. FOMO in micro trends: dopamine, immediate reward. Consider the real reasons for wanting something. Consider delaying purchases to avoid micro trends. Hoarders face challenges with microtrends, self-control. Desire for personalization and expression; trends and fashions driven by corporations to fuel spending. Accumulation of unused items, struggle to declutter. FOMO in micro trends leads to regretful charity shop donations. Questioning motives, mindful consumption. Consider delaying purchases to assess true desire and value. Immediate craving may indicate fleeting trend. Microtrends are a challenge for hoarders, leading to more stuff, less money, and self-doubt.

In this episode, we are joined by Niha Elety, founder of Tega Collective. We discuss the intersection of sustainable fashion and cultural heritage. Niha addresses the challenges posed by fast fashion and greenwashing, advocating for a deeper connection to personal style and cultural roots over fleeting trends. Niha also shares practical tips for sustainable living and highlights her work with Tega Collective, which supports indigenous communities and promotes ethical fashion practices. This episode is a compelling exploration of how fashion can be both stylish and sustainable, with a strong emphasis on cultural respect and environmental responsibility.More about Niha!Niha Elety is a sustainable fashion advocate and designer, renowned for integrating fashion, art, and heritage to highlight the importance of sustainability.

It's so simple it's brilliant! Ask 100 food or beverage entrepreneurs how or why they started their businesses. For some, they knew they had a great product and they expanded from the family kitchen outward. Some find whitespaces - niche areas that are underserved.  Others start with a mission and are purpose-driven first. Andre and his co-founder started with a global mission and built a business model to solve that need.

For the first time Bulls, Bears, and Bourbon features two guests – Knox Ridley, and Bradley Cipriano from I/O Fund. I/O Fund runs one of the highest performing tech-focused stock portfolios in the world. Knox began consulting on portfolios in 2007 and is an experienced growth investor in both bull and bear markets. He is very keen on macro trends and is trained in Fibonacci Trading, Elliott Wave theory, as well as Gann Cycles. He also uses classical technical analysis to manage risk and identify great risk/reward setups. Bradley previously worked as a forensic equity analyst at Gradient Analytics, where he focused on assessing the quality of revenue and earnings for both domestic and internationally listed stocks for institutional asset managers. He has been able to utilize his strong accounting background to identify issues and concerns that the Street may be overlooking, such as low-quality earnings beats and unsustainable revenue growth. Together, and with the rest of the I/O Fund team they provide incredible insights into the world of tech growth investing. [01:30] – Introducing Knox Ridley & Bradley Cipriano [04:02] – Key Principles to Growth Investing – “everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth.” “We let our winners tell us where to be putting our money for the year.” “If you look at valuations first, as we're taught to, you'll miss out on some really great opportunities.” [10:13] – Volatility – “When you go through this volatility the most important question is what do I own, and what is the conviction.” [11:30] – Identifying Micro-trends – “understanding the microtrend is crucial…but most importantly, what product is setting up to being the de facto leader.” “We're looking at what companies are strongest…the companies that are really positioned for accelerating growth. So, we'll look for metrics like rising cash receipts, sales, and marketing leverage, sales outpacing capital expenditures, and companies growing faster than their peers. Really companies that are stronger than their competitors and stronger than they were in previous periods.” “We let the market dictate which trend is in play…we don't want to be too creative or too cute.” [18:20] – Investing Time Horizon– “our time horizon ideally would be forever…that rarely happens though. With our own portfolio as tech investors, if you don't have a 5-year time horizon, minimum, you can find yourself in trouble.” “(Time Horizon) is the most important aspect to investing in my opinion. And not acknowledging it is why investors tend to underperform the markets in a lot of ways.” “Human beings, we're more emotional than rational. And that part of the human experience dominates every single time.” “With tech investing, it's a long-duration asset.” “Intelligence is not enough. A lot of people think it is, they think they are smart there, and it is not enough. This is the only game in town where you can be a workaholic and a genius and still fail.” [26:40] – When to sell? – “The big one is if it's moving down and to the right…there is some wiggle room, particularly if it's a high conviction play and you're early.” “We do let the market dictate when to sell, and we do have a discipline on how we add.” “The beauty of investing in the public market is we can get out whenever we want. We're not locked into these positions…if we're stressing about a position if it's causing us to lose sleep we have no issue with reducing exposure.” “The stock is not the company which is not the microtrend. They're correlated, but stocks are driven by sentiment which can knock the stock out of whack in both directions.” [33:30] The Fed and the macro environment – “it's very important. Take a look at tech for example. A lot of the companies that are down 30-40% have reported since then and reported strong growth and raised guidance. And the market just doesn't care. And you have to ask why. And I think it has everything to do with the...

As a new investor, it's easy to feel intimidated by the sheer volume of financial data that's out there... But the truth is, you can make a ton of money in the stock market, without spending hours per day researching stocks... or reading hundreds of books on different investment strategies... On this week's episode, Dan invites Harris Kupperman onto the show to explain how. Harris is the founder of Praetorian Capital, a hedge fund based in Florida with a long track record of market beating performance. He's also the Chief Adventurer at AdventuresInCapitalism.com, an investment blog uncovering unique opportunities around the world. Today, he visits to talk about his shockingly simple way of investing that has a long history of producing incredible gains...  Harris says he doesn't concern himself with interest rates... He doesn't care where the next 50 BPS on the 10-year treasury yield is going... Or what the Forex rate is going to be... Instead, he looks for microtrends that are happening in society – ones that are obvious once you spot them – and then he identifies the safest, highest upside way to play them. And he's not going for 20% or 50% gains... Harris is looking for stocks with the potential to go up 5x to 10x higher...  During the interview, Harris shares two stocks with Dan that he's identified that are poised to grow rapidly, thanks to some of these microtrends happening today. When he explains the microtrends, and the stock that are positioned to benefit, you'll be surprised that these stories aren't front page news...

Polling and trending expert Mark Penn joins me on the show to talk about some of the small, but surprisingly powerful forces that are driving big disruptions in today's business, politics, and culture. About the Book:  Mark Penn has boldly argued that the future is not shaped by society's broad forces but by quiet changes within narrow slices of the population. Ten years ago, he showed how the behavior of one small group can exert an outsized influence over the whole of America. His bestselling Microtrends highlighted dozens of tiny, counterintuitive trends that have since come to fruition, from the explosion of internet dating to the recent split within the Republican Party. Today, the world is in perplexing upheaval, and microtrends are more influential than ever. In this environment, Penn offers a necessary perspective. Microtrends Squared makes sense of what is happening in the world today. Through fifty new microtrends, Penn illuminates the shifts that are coming in the next decade. He pinpoints the unseen hand behind new power relationships that have emerged—as fringe voters and reactionary politics have found their revival, as online influencers overshadow traditional media, and as the gig economy continues to invade new swathes of industry. He speaks to the next wave of developments coming in technology, social movements, and even dating. Offering a clear vision of the future of business, politics, and culture, Microtrends Squared is a must-read for innovators and entrepreneurs, political and business leaders, and for every curious reader looking to under­stand the wave of the future when it is just a ripple. About the Author:  Mark Penn has spent over forty years in polling, marketing, advertising, and strategy at the highest levels of business and politics. As a leading pollster, he was chief strategist in the presidential campaigns of Bill and Hillary Clinton and is credited with identifying the influential “soccer moms” trend.
