Are you on track financially, or is it time for a mid-year course correction? In this episode, we walk through a comprehensive mid-year financial checklist designed to help investors and retirees prepare for the second half of the year. We'll discuss whether your portfolio allocation still matches your goals, why sector rotation matters, realistic expectations for investment returns, and the importance of updating retirement income plans. We also cover mid-year tax projections, Roth conversion strategies (including the often-overlooked downsides), charitable giving techniques, insurance reviews, and why knowing what your money is actually for may be the most important financial planning decision you make. We'll also touch on labor market trends, including what high-paying employers like Buc-ee's tell us about today's economy, and the growing role of AI and robot teachers in education. Whether you're planning for retirement, reducing taxes, reviewing insurance coverage, or refining your investment strategy, this checklist can help you finish the year on stronger financial footing. 0:00 INTRO 0:20 - Lettuce Memes, Future Shock, Bad Architecture, & Tiny Towns 7:12 - Market Frustrations & Sector Rotations 10:01 - Is Your Allocation Right for You? 13:25 - Robot Teachers in New York 15:11 - What Your Money is For... 16:37 - Expectations for Returns 20:36 - What You Can Make at Buc-cee's 22:29 - Mid-year Tax Projections 26:39 - Retirement Income Update, Charitable Intent & Micro-budgeting 30:02 - Charitable Remainder Trust 33:43 - Putting together a strategy for charitable giving 37:16 - The "Alt Side" of the Roth Conversion 41:06 - Insurance Review 42:44 - Savvy Social Security DLS Hosted by RIA Advisors Director of Financial Planning, Richard Rosso, CFP, w Senior Investment Advisor, Jonathan McCarty, CFP Produced by Brent Clanton, Executive Producer ------- Do you enjoy our content?

In today's episode I'm joined by Yvette Mayer (HD Transits Expert) and Lauren Hansen (Resident Astrologer) for the August energy update, and the whole month turns on one question: who are you building it with? In Human Design we move out of the throat-centre gates and into the quarter of duality, so the focus shifts off what you're making and onto your relationships. In astrology it lands from the same direction, with Venus moving home into Libra and Mars dropping into Cancer. It's a relational, reflective and at times emotional month, with two eclipses reshaping who's in your corner. The gates and dates we cover are listed below, so you can check them against your own chart.KEY DATES FOR AUGUSTAstrology (with Lauren)23 Jul: Mercury stations direct, carrying easier communication into August.Late Jul into early Aug: Venus square Mars (Venus in Virgo, Mars in Gemini), over-stimulation and a pull toward discernment, quality over quantity.6 Aug to 9 Sep: Venus at home in Libra, collaboration, harmony and easier relating.6 to 11 Aug: Venus trine Uranus and Pluto, opposite Neptune. Surprising new people and real chemistry, with a reminder to check the details before you idealise anyone.11 Aug to 28 Sep: Mars in Cancer, driven by what and who you care about, protective of home and family, with a passive-aggression risk to watch.12 Aug: Leo solar eclipse (new moon) with the south node and Jupiter. Confidence, creativity and identity, letting go of an old way of leading to grow into the next.15 Aug: Mercury conjunct Jupiter in Leo, a strong day for announcements, pitching, launching and sharing your voice.19 to 22 Aug: Venus opposite Saturn in Aries, defining relationships, setting boundaries and keeping what lasts.23 to 29 Aug: Sun square Uranus, restlessness and aha moments, so ground yourself before any big impulsive calls.28 Aug (AUS): Pisces lunar eclipse (full moon) near the north node, squared by Uranus. Big emotions, with surrender and boundaries needed at once.Human Design (with Yvette)Throughout August: Gates 30 and 41 (root centre and solar plexus), fantasy and quantum possibility, grounding what is possible into reality.Throughout August: Gate 33 moving into Jupiter, reflective, looking-back and storytelling energy.First half, around 11 to 12 Aug: Gate 7 (leadership by invitation) with Gate 29 in the south node (commitment, and what to release).Mid month: Gate 4 in the ajna, creative problem solving and spotting your patterns.Late Aug: Gate 59 (intimacy and trust built over time) with Gate 57 through Venus (intuition and instinct).End of month: Gate 40 (boundaries and discernment) and Gates 39 and 55 turning on (the channel of emoting).I trust you will get what you need from this episode, and make sure you come let me know how it resonated with you on instagram @the_human_design_coachBig love,MxxLauren's Details:Website: https://www.astrobetch.comInstagram & TikTok: @astrobetchYvette's Details:Website: https://www.yvettemayer.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/yvettemayer_YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@humandesignformarketingFacebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/humandesign4marketingPodcast: https://www.yvettemayer.com/podcastBodyGraph Chart SoftwareCreate your own Human Design chart tool with BodyGraphChart!

The AI hype cycle is over. The scaling race has begun. In this episode of Supply Chain Now, Scott W. Luton welcomes special guest co-host Marina Mayer, Content Director of Food Logistics and Supply & Demand Chain Executive and Co-Founder of the Women in Supply Chain Forum, for a wide-ranging conversation on how AI is actually reshaping global supply chains, manufacturing, and the workforce behind them. Marina unpacks data showing the AI in logistics and supply chain market is set to grow from just over $20 billion to nearly $196 billion by 2034, and explains why the real driver isn't AI adoption itself but companies learning to target it to the specific parts of the business where it belongs. From there, the two dig into a 2026 AI Skills Enterprise Benchmark from Workera, revealing that manufacturers committed to structured upskilling are hitting 79% workforce readiness scores, and why employee confidence, not just capability, is the missing piece in so many transformation efforts. The conversation builds into how KPMG research shows 73% of businesses are now planning a comprehensive overhaul of their supply chain operating model within the next three years, up from just 11% a year prior, and what that means for hiring, training, and the next generation of talent entering the industry. Marina and Scott also explore how mid-sized businesses are using AI to manage expenses and detect fraud, and revisit a conversation on putting frontline AI directly into the hands of workers on the floor to speed up onboarding and decision-making. Along the way, Marina previews the 2026 Women in Supply Chain Forum in Charleston, including its new mentorship program and self-advocacy theme. If you want a grounded, data-backed read on where AI in supply chain is headed next, this conversation delivers.   Jump into the conversation: (00:00) Intro (00:25) Meet Marina Mayer (02:00) Balancing work and sports mom logistics (05:28) The 196 billion AI supply chain boom (06:05) Why AI adoption needs a targeted approach (10:36) The 2026 AI Skills Enterprise Benchmark (13:02) Building employee confidence with AI (16:18) Lessons from MODEX and workforce transformation (19:38) Why 73 percent are overhauling operating models (25:47) Mid market businesses tackle AI and expenses (28:35) Putting frontline AI in workers hands (35:27) Women in Supply Chain Forum 2026 preview   Additional Links & Resources: Connect with Marina Mayer: https://www.linkedin.com/in/marinamayer/ Learn more about Supply & Demand Chain Executive: https://www.sdcexec.com/ Learn more about Food Logistics: https://www.foodlogistics.com/ Upcoming Live Programming:  https://supplychainnow.com/upcoming-live-programming/ Supply Chain Now Resource Hub: https://supplychainnow.com/resource-hub/ Learn more about our hosts: https://supplychainnow.com/about Learn more about Supply Chain Now: https://supplychainnow.com Watch and listen to more Supply Chain Now episodes here: https://supplychainnow.com/program/supply-chain-now   Subscribe to Supply Chain Now on your favorite platform: https://supplychainnow.com/join   Work with us!

I'm the founder of Painter Growth, a coaching company that helps painting contractors build real businesses instead of just running jobs.We've worked with over 1,500 painting contractors. Our clients range from guys doing $300K a year to teams pushing past $5M. Our coaches are real painting business owners who built seven-figure companies themselves. Not theory guys.Here's how I got here.Early 20s: Running my own painting business. Couldn't close jobs. Underbidding everything. Painters showed up stoned. Spilled paint on driveways. Painted houses the wrong color. I fell off a ladder. Ended my first year with a $20,000 tax bill I couldn't pay.Still early 20s: Almost quit. Didn't. Got obsessed with systems, sales, and getting help. I hired my first business coach, fixed the chaos & hit over $200K a month in sales before I turned 24.Mid-20s: Followed my girlfriend (now wife) to a new city. Shut the painting business down. Took a job in SaaS. Spent five years helping grow a software company from scratch to nearly $10M a year. That's where I learned how to build and scale an online business.During COVID: My two worlds collided. Running a painting business plus scaling software companies. I launched a side hustle that pulled both together. It became Painter Growth.October 2021: Launched with an MVP and $10 a day in Facebook ads. No money. No clients. No connections.End of 2021: Signed my first 10 clients. Eight got massive results. That was all the proof I needed.Late 2022: Brought on Jesse, my partner and CFO. Hired our first coach and first VA. Reinvested everything back into the business.2023 and beyond: Built a team of nearly 50, including seven-figure painting business owners coaching full time.We became an official Sherwin-Williams partner and we're the exclusive coaching program referred by them.We we're named PCA 2026 Partner of the Year.You don't need to be a good painter to build a great painting business. You need to be a good business owner who hires good painters. Most contractors never make that switch. We help them make it.What I'm focused on right now: AI and systems. We're building AI-powered tools inside Painter Growth, including a bookkeeping assistant and a proposal generator. The contractors who figure this out early are going to pull ahead.I'm still building. Still figuring things out. But I'm doing it alongside 1,500 contractors who are all in the middle of their own fight to build something real.If you're in that fight, you're in the right place.Never quit,MikeGet a FREE Painting Business Growth Session.

The mid-year reset for messy minds: a doable life audit, goals check-in + my 3-day reset plan. Potato day included. It's July. I don't know how that happened either, and I'd like to lodge a formal complaint. I've been doing this reset for years, and the messy-minds version is deliberately simple. Because if you're anything like me (ADHD, seventeen tabs open in my brain, big plans in January), you've probably tried one of those intense mid-year overhauls before. You do step one and then you bail. This one is different. You can do the whole thing listening to the podcast in the car.

Life audit made easy: 6 areas rated 1 to 5 — no wheel of life, no colouring in Start / Stop / Step / Stick With: the habits audit that actually changes something Goals check-in: the sunk cost fallacy + why your brain keeps you "safe" from your own goals The 3-day reset to book this month: mini reset day, get-shit-done day, potato day Routine rebuild: the bookends rule + the high-energy / low-energy versions … Episode links: Download your Reset workbook: https://www.stephpaseplanners.com.au/blogs/news/stephing-up-podcast-is-back Hear the 3-day Reset Itinerary in S2, Ep1, Master Your Mess In 3 Days: https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/im-back-master-your-mess-in-3-days/id1713434054?i=1000755432196 Hear the Routine Review in S2, Ep 6: https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/when-you-dont-even-recognise-yourself-how-i-got-my-spark-back/id1713434054?i=1000762279899 … Follow Stephing Up I’m Steph Pase, your (somewhat) organised bestie in your ears.

California has approved a major restructuring of its education leadership system that will significantly reduce the authority of the elected Superintendent of Public Instruction and transfer many of those responsibilities to a new Education Commissioner appointed by the governor. Reuters reports that New York has become the first state in the nation to impose a moratorium on large AI-related data centers, pausing new projects that consume 50 megawatts or more of electricity.

The highest month of membership revenue in Lab history was also the setup for the highest month of churn. One year later, February delivered both records. I have been building community in some form since 2012. I ran Startup Weekend events in Columbus, led online Mastermind groups, consulted on the launch of SPI Pro, and spent 2021 leading the community team at Smart Passive Income before going back out on my own.

Hey friends! Still your grieving pal over here, but also your swarming friend and Protecting My Network Edge host — because this week I've been tinkering with something called Project Swarm and I've got my diapers on regarding it, but I really, really like what I see so far. Then, fair warning, I flip on the tangent light and verbally barf up some personal stuff at the end. I'll make the hand-off super clear, so if you want your free security podcast to do exactly what you want and nothing else — totally fair, and you won't offend me by hopping off. Here's what we cover: What is Project Swarm? This comes to us from our friends over at GreyNoise. It centers around little sensors you deploy to the edges of your network that you can dress up to look like just about anything — attracting flies to the honey, if you catch my drift. You get more enumeration, insight, and logging into whatever shenanigans those flies are using to poke at your edge. Setup was refreshingly easy: You need a very low-powered VM or hardware device (my understanding is it even works on a Raspberry Pi) mapped to a public IP, plus a free GreyNoise account. You generate an API key, copy-paste a one-line install, and off it goes. I threw mine on a tiny Ubuntu VM. The part where I didn't read the flipping manual: Mid-install my SSH connection dropped and I'm going "what the heck?!" Turns out the installer intentionally moves your real SSH to some arbitrary high port — so you can run a fake SSH honeypot on 22 while your legit connection lives elsewhere. Once I spotted the new port in the console, a quick firewall tweak and I was back in. Profiles give me level 14 giggidies: Once your sensor checks in, you assign it a profile. Vulnerable WordPress, Tomcat, a Cisco AnyConnect VPN, FTP honeypot, SSH honeypot — kind of all the honeypots. I went with a vulnerable WordPress instance. My one complaint: you can only assign one profile per sensor. My dream scenario of an SSH honeypot AND an FTP AND a vulnerable Tomcat all on one box will have to wait (or maybe that'd look too suspicious and scare the baddies off — who knows). The results were wild: Within a couple days I had thousands of connections, several flagged as malicious and tied to known botnets. I could see source IPs, malicious labels, whether they were residential or company or Google, and even download raw packet captures. There's clearly more telemetry to dig into (what people tried to spray into the login portal, etc.) — I meant to go deeper before recording and didn't, so consider this a "to be continued." Why do I care, since I'm not defending some huge infrastructure? Honestly it started as a brain break. But I've been testing a ton of external networks lately and nearly every company site is WordPress — which now powers around 43% of the internet. Running my own WordPress honeypot gives real oomph to those "your out-of-date WordPress is a big deal" conversations, where I can say "I run a WordPress honeypot and here's the aggressive password spraying and plugin/theme enumeration I'm seeing right now." See it, don't just hear it: I show the actual portal, sensor config pages, and more over on 7MinSec.club this week. Why not both, right? It's like that meme. GreyNoise also has a Project Swarm user webinar coming up — check their events page. And to be crystal clear: they are not a sponsor, this is all free, and I just think it's clever. Life update (the tangent portion): About the time you hear this, I'll be on my way to my dad's funeral, where I'm sharing some words and singing a song. I've been practicing like a madman per advice from my music director friend and guitar teacher — including a little brain hack of focusing hard on my fingers to stay a half-step removed from the emotion. And if I cry my face off up there? Who cares. This isn't America's Got Talent; it's the gesture. I'll be honest, 2026 has been a rough one, but I promised two bright spots and here they are: my son Cam (about to finish paramedic school) has been keeping grandpa's spirit alive by wearing my dad's shirts, sunglasses, and Apple watch, and getting a Cessna tattoo with my dad's actual handwriting and birth year. And you all — the kind words, the offers to talk, the shared stories — reminded me there are a whole lot of good people out there. Thank you for that. One more thing on the horizon: My brain's been a squirrel on pixie sticks, but for whatever reason I've been happily grinding the CARTP as a little vacation for my mind. I might take a swing at the exam this week — start it in the evening, grind a few hours, sleep, finish in the morning (I'm too old for 24 hours straight). I might pass, I might fail spectacularly. Either way I'll keep you posted, and if I get the cert, that's probably next week's topic!

In this short podcast episode, Bryan talks about multi-position service valves and more valve types. Many typical residential systems have brass service valves with a hex cap and Schrader ports; access happens solely through the Schrader ports (where the cores are). Schraders are restrictive and prone to leaking, and they don't have the ability to back-seat or front-seat. In applications where we need that capability, we use multi-position service valves instead. (Note: CoreMax valves have much higher flow rates, but you can't remove the cores except with a highly specialized tool.) Multi-position service valves are common in commercial refrigeration and allow for unrestricted, full-port flow. They do not have spring-loaded cores in the service port. If you treat these valves like Schrader valves, refrigerant WILL come out if it's not back-seated. You adjust the position by turning the stem with a refrigeration service wrench; loosen the packing nut before attempting to turn the stem, as tightening it down will crush the compressible packing material around the rotating stem. Tighten it back down after making your adjustment. These valves also require lots of heat to braze, so we must cover heat-sensitive surfaces with wet rags or heat-blocking putty (like WetRag by Refrigeration Technologies). The valve must be mid-seated while brazing, not fully front-seated or back-seated, as the surfaces are more likely to warp otherwise. Mid-seating the valve also provides a high-volume path directly to the system. Back-seating the valve is the everyday running position (stem must be rotated fully counterclockwise) and blocks access to the service port. Cracking off the back seat requires you to rotate the stem slightly clockwise with service hoses securely attached, just enough to allow you to get a reading through a tiny gap. Front-seating the valve is good for isolation with the compressor off but may cause compressor failure or serious injuries if you run the compressor. Front-seating requires you to rotate the stem fully clockwise; it completely blocks the flow of refrigerant through the system, and the service port stays open to the upstream side of the valve body. Catastrophic compressor failure will happen if the suction or discharge valves are front-seated while running. General multi-position service valves are NOT king valves. King valves are multi-position service valves specifically located at the outlet of the liquid receiver. These valves front-seat to help you pump down the system when you need to do repairs on the low side; it blocks liquid refrigerant from leaving the tank. A queen valve may be located at the inlet of the receiver on the drop leg from the condenser; front-seating it with the king valve will fully isolate the receiver.   Multi-position service valve tech tip: https://www.hvacrschool.com/compressor-multi-position-service-valves/  Have a question that you want us to answer on the podcast?

Luxury used to be exclusive. Expensive to build. Hard to convert. Not anymore. Brands are loosening their grip. Third-party operators are moving in. Mid-market properties are being stripped down and rebuilt as five-star, with new tech and new standards. And they're happening fast. Here's what worries operators: once a guest stays at the converted property next door with all the new tech, better itinerary management, and total customer value strategy, they're not coming back to yours.
